VC and Informatica,Business Objects

Hi,
    How to access data from informatica and business objects using VC.
Any Information would be helpful.

Hello Mario,
How do we connect third party ETL tools such as Informatica PowerCenter or IBM WebSphere DataStage to provide data to VC? These tools use staging BAPIs to load data to SAP BW. How is this different when it comes to VC?
Please share your thoughts.
Regards
Thankam

    Crystal Reports XI is the latest version of the report writer from Business Objects. Local reports guru David McAmis takes the new version for a spin.
    Most developers might know Crystal Reports from versions included in Studio, Visual Studio.NET, and other popular developer IDEu2019s such as BEA Workshop, C# Builder, Delphi 2005, JBuilder, WebSphere.
    In this latest installment both report and application developers have something to be excited about as there are a host of new features for report design and integration. Hereu2019s a run-down of what you can expect in this release.

  • New and Generated Business Object Not Found in BOR

    Hi,
    I have created, released and generated a new object in SWO1. But I could not find it in the BOR (T-Code BAPI).
    So I searched for the object in SWO1 again and it was there, but not in BOR.
    What is the reason for this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    Hi a®s,
    You are right. I have mistakenly selected "Object Type" instead of "Object Type Component" for releasing the status of the method.
    Problem solved and thanks very much.

  • Is there any Difference between Business Objects and SAP Business Objects

    Hi Folks,
    I am planning to learn BO, i need clarification is both normal BO and SAP BO are same or SAP's BO is different from what we have old BO
    Please any one suggest me on this.
    Thanks & Regards
    Ramakrishna Kamurthy

    hi,
    BO and SAP BO are both the same....recently the SAP took the BO and it is now the property of SAP....also in the future the BO is used in SAP BI for reporting purposes. But you need licensing for SAP BO.
    hope it helps.

  • Requirements and Architecture for Business Objects Universe

    Hi - apologies in advance for the probable repeat question but a search of the forums brought back an overload of information that wasn't quite specific enough.
    We are about to purchase an application that comes with a Business Objects Universe but we've been told that we'll need to sort out our own licensing for the Client/Server side of its use.
    I've done a lot of work with Crystal Reports in the past but having read up on Business Objects it appears that either the Desktop Intelligence of Web Intelligence clients are designed for the reporting facilities in BO.
    Basically, the question is what exactly do we need to run reports from the BOU across the company AND what server architecture is required/recommended for the same?
    As I see it, the BOU is the equivalent of an ORM layer in software development. This would mean we'd have:
    DATABASE
    UNIVERSE
    REPORTING CLIENT
    ...where the reporting client allowed the development and distribution of reports based on the specific licences purchased. However the reporting client wouldn't be Crystal Reports - is that correct?
    Also is there any ballpark figure for the server and client licence costs? Assuming 5 developers and up to 300 users (although it may only be management needing viewer access so possibly only a dozen users on top of the developers in that case).
    I've tried to work this out for myself but there seems to be a lot of confusion around what is Business Objects (the product) and who Business Objects the company are and where Crystal fits in with everything.
    For a bog-standard implementation of a BOU what is absolutely necessary?
    Thanks
    Nic

    Hi Nic,
    As you've described Universe is a meta data layer in between Database and Reporting Layer. You could create reports using Desktop Intelligence, Web Intelligence, Web Intelligence Rich Client and even Crystal Reports. DeskI, WebI Rich, Crystal Reports do  require client installations and you have an added advantage of using local data sources like excel and create reports. WebI also creates reports but you don't need any separate client installer for it.
    For the ball park figure I'd contact Sales Team...
    Your question regarding what is absolutely necessary, there are lot more things need to be taken into consideration like below
    1) What are the repeorting needs at a little detailed level?
    How would it help: Though there are several reporting tools for users and their reporting needs, it helps in deciding on which of the reporting tools should be the prime ones. Like WebI can be used as Adhoc Reporting Tool once you design your universe.
    2) Where would you want these reports to be deployed or on what portal do you want to see reports?
    How would it help: It helps in deciding what should be the presentation layer for the reports and how it should be designed. Business Objects has InfoView portal that comes default where you can deploy DeskI, WebI, Crystal Reports. Or if you need to use an existing sharePoint portal you'd need Integration with Sharepoint software.
    3) Do you need ETL tools to load your data?
    How would it help: It helps in making recommendation on ETL process and if Business Objects Data Integrator is suitable for the scenario
    Hope this would help.

    The entry "Task -> Create a Web Service" describes how to create a Web Service on your own BO
    The entry "Task -> Test a Web Service" helps you how you can use it in a foreign tool / application.

  • Business Objects for FP09 and EC85

    Hi Everyone,
    Could you please guide me about: "what are business objects which are being used in the following transactions: FP09 and EC85".
    Actually we need this for our Document Management System. Please guide.
    Thanks and Regards

    MP:
    You need to be more precise here - the business object for the transaction is commonly known as the object upon which the transaction is based.  SO EC85 is disconnection and the business object for disconnection is DISCONNECT.  What you are seeing is the reference object.  that is entirely different and refers to the object upon which the individual disconnection is operating.
    regards,

  • EEWB :  how to determine the business object and the extension type ?

    Hi,
    I ask myself how to determine the business object and the extension type to use to add new fields in a new tab of a specific transaction ? what means each business object, does that correspond to a specific transaction ?
    I need to add a new tab in the ‘BaMI’ business activity in transaction CRMD_ORDER just after the tab 'Actions' at header level.
    Could you help me please to determine which business object and extension type I have to select during creation of the project and which business object category I have to select during creation of the extension (wizard) ?
    Thanks for your help,
    Marie

    Marie,
    In order to determine what type of transaction you are extending, you will need to look at the customizing for the transaction.
    In the IMG:
    Goto:
    Customer Relationship Management->Transactions->Basic Settings->Define Transaction Types.
    You will then choose the transaction defined that you want to extend.  If you display the details of the transaction you will find an attribute called:
    "Leading Transaction Category".  This tells you the general context in which the transaction is used.  The other item to view is the assignment of business transaction categories found in the maintenance screen.
    This information general corresponds to one of the options that the EEWB will give you on the transaction type.
    As far as extensions go, my recommendation is the following:
    - Use CUSTOMER_H Customer Header Extensions for any new fields at the header level.
    - Use CUSTOMER_I Customer Item Extensions for any new fields at the item level.
    Unless you have a specific requirement to extend a segment of the transaction, I recommend placing all new fields in these segments.  The CUSTOMER_H & CUSTOMER_I segments are considered "standard" segments, that are already built into all the necessary API structures. 
    Let me know if you have any further questions.
    Good luck,
    Stephen

  • CE CAF Business Object, Complex Structure and external service...

    Hi,
    I want to use a web service as remote persistence in a CAF business object(Entity service). My Problem is, that the service returns a list of objects. But it seems that in the new CE the paradigm for caf changed a little and instead of complex attributes (an attribute with a structure and cardinality 0...n) you can only create an association with another business object.
    Anybody knows how to bring that together? I want to do something similar like described here:
    <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5e9ca25b-0e01-0010-bbaa-f3b963e89edd">https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5e9ca25b-0e01-0010-bbaa-f3b963e89edd</a>
    But using the new CE the Problem is, that I couldn't manage creating a complex attribute in an Entity which can then be used as mapping for a web service.
    When I create a simple attibute and replace the type with a complex one, i can do the mapping but there is an error: "The business node has an invalid main structure"
    anybody a good idea?
    kind regards and thanks alot
    Alex

    Hi Alexander,
    You are now able to create the Structure and set the cardinality also in NetWeaver CE.  I thin the following steps will be helpful for you.
    1. Create a CAF project called firstcaf.
    2.Create an entity service within the project called Customer.
    3. Now expand modeled.
    4. Then right click on Data Types. Here you will get the option "New Structure".
    5.Now select New Structure, One popup will appear then enter the Structure name called Address and click ok.
    6. Now You will get your Address structure under Complex Types.
    7.Double Click on Address. In right hand side you will get the Address structure for editing.
    8.Now from left hand side(Existing Type) expand caf.core and add your required attribute. In right hand side (structure Field) you can edit the name of attribute. suppose for Address structure I have added two field phone and mobile (both are short text ). save it.
    9. Now switch to Composite Application Explorer and expand Business Objects ->Customer -> Customer->Customer. and double click on it (Customer).
    10. In right hand side expand project firstcaf ->modeled. Now you will get your structure here, In my case I will get Address structure. Now select your structure and  click Add button. Structure will go to right hand side(Structure Fields).
    11. If you want to change the cardinality it is very simple. Select The Structure from right hand side(Structure Fields) and in bottom side click on property. Now you will get the Cardinality field. you can change it as you like.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Need toughts on approach. Client moving to Maconomy/Business Objects

    Post Author: klokhammer
    CA Forum: General Feedback
    Hi.On of our important clients are most likely to migrate between economy systems within the next 9 months. Case as follows:
    We have developed a budgeting/forecast and reporting system for a certain market/company. The solution is based on a Microsoft SQL 2000 database/server with Microsoft Access as application interface. The solution is integrated and gets actual figures from the economy system Aspect on a IBM iSeries (AS400) system. The "edge" of the system lies in sophisticated budgeting/forecast routines, the report module is rather poor....
    The client is now most likely to migrate to Maconomy as the new economy system, and Maconomy AnalytiX as the new BI system (which I understand uses Business Objects.)
    We are new to Business Objects and need general recommendations on what level we should try to integrate on. Should we "ditch" all the development done in Access and build a new solutions through Business Objects, keeping all the business logics, but not the interface?
    Should we try to integrate on a database level, keeping the interface in Access (for budgeting/forecast), and exporting data into Business Objects to allow reporting through Maconomy AnalytiX?
    As you most likely have understood, my knowledge about Business Objects are pretty poor. But please try to give me your thoughts on how we should move along, and what kind of "standard" considerations we must have in mind.
    Kind regardsklokhammer

    klokhammer,
    I checked out Macanomy's web site and searched for references to Business Objects, and sure enough it is mentioned here and there.  What it sounds like is that Macanomy has developed some "Macanomy Standard Reports" using BusObjects, so if you want these nifty Macanomy reports available to you, you buy the Macanomy product, which is bundled w/ BusObjects, and voila you have the reports.  It sounds like a winning strategy.  On the other hand, in order to get this type of capability, an organization would have to hire a staff to purchase and install Business Objects, then the staff would have to understand the financial database that the client has established and populated, and then the staff would have to set about building the reports that are needed.  With Macanomy, it seems that you get the whole kit and kaboodle in one swoop, which is good for an organization providing that it is on the same wave-length as Macanomy.  In regards to your question about what to do with your existing infrastructure, this is a call only you and your client can make.  In IT, it's always about the data and how it is used.  Peeling back the onion a bit, the process works like this:  in order for the Macanomy reports to work, the report must be properly built and it must read from a "universe", which is a BusObjects term for defining the interface between the user and the database (the meta data process).  In order for the universe to exist, it must be built by a "Universe Designer".   The Universe Designer must have an intracate knowledge of how every table in the database will be used to support the reports that the end-user wants to have (either pre-canned (standard) or ad hoc capability).  The database is still a critical piece, and reviewing the Macanomy offering I have a funny feeling that they come in with their own database structure and universe, which makes their process a much quicker install.  The downside, as it appears to me, is how you would migrate your existing data into the Macanomy structure (this goes back to the two parties being on the same wavelength).  I think in your case it's going to be a matter of ditching your database structure in MS SQL 2000 and Access, and adopting the Macanomy structure, but this may be more painful to do than any one at this point realizes.  It sounds like you need to continue arming yourself with knowledge before making any final decisions.  Good luck, and perhaps keep all of us posted on your experiences.

  • BI Accelerator used in combination with SAP Business Objects Explorer

    Hi ,
    If you use SAP Netweaver BWA and SAP Business Objects Explorer Blade, do you only get the full benefit with using SAP BO Explorer, or will the same queries ran in BEx 7 Anaylser also benefit from the in memory OLAP processing?
    I'm guessing that the SAP BOE Blade will only benefit SAP BOE.
    It would be great if the current BWA had the ability to in-memory the OLAP part of the processing, as then it might be worth the hassle of getting it installed.
    Thanks,
