Why we have to use business objects other than b.i
Edited by: Arun Varadarajan on Mar 25, 2009 12:17 PM

Hi
Recently SAP has taken over Business objects which is one of the Datawarehousing Tool especially in Reporting. As going on SAP is planning to replace most of the reporting with BO reporting.

What are the DATAPROVIDERS in Business Objects 6.5?

What are the DATAPROVIDERS in Business Objects 6.5? When we use these data providers/

Kishore,
"Data Providers" is a term used to designate a concept of the "source(s)" for the report. For instance, if you have a report that has a single query and in your report you have one (or n1) tab(s), then your report is a single data provider type of report. Note that you can have multiple tabs with the data being displayed multiple ways, etc, etc, but since you have a single query, the report is still a single data provider. Another scenario is that you have more than a single query (n1 query panels), then you have a report with multiple data providers. Only upon inspecting the query panel side of the report can you determine the number of actual data providers. You can have a single tabbed report with multiple data providers, or you can have a multiple tabbed report, but the point is that data providers are counted by the number of query panels being used and not necessarily the number of tabs. I hope this explanation is clear, but if any questions arise, please post back.
Thanks,
John

What are the features of Business object.

Hi Experts,
Can any please give me brief idea about Business object which one will going implent into BI . and what are the features of Business object.
i will assign points if it is helpfull.
Regards
venu.

Hi,
Bussiness Object is the reporting tool of datawarehouse.BI is itself a data ware house.The next generation SAP BI will be using BO as reporting tool instead of BeX.BO is a Reporting tool. Presently we are using BI BEX tool for reporting. slowly BI BEX tool is replacing by BO.Use Netveawer and SAP BW for the Backend and Master data management or Use Data Integartor. For Front End Use BEX tools for QR$A or use the BO Suite.BO has many advantages over BEX tool like using BO we can creat crystal reports ets.
Pls chk this links for detailed information abt Business Object:

What is the role of Business Objects in BPC

Dear Experts,
A quick question. Why has SAP changed expanded form of BPC - from Business Planning & Consolidation to Businessobjects Planning and Consolidation. Is this just a re-branding excercise or is BPC using Business Objects components for reporting?
As far as I understand, after watching demos on Businessobjects Planning and Consolidation, I dont see any business objects interface?
Can anyone please help me in understanding this right?
Regards
Rupa

Hi,
When you take BPC alone into consideration then their is no much difference with the interface. They have changed name from BPC to SAP Buisness Objects Planning and Consolidation, version for SAP NetWeaver. With the next versions they have integrated few of the Business Objects tools like Xcelsius, Voyager, WebI, Crystal, BOBJ CMS and SSO etc. With the integration of these tools you can display or report the BPC data in these tools like for e.g. you can report on BPC data in Xcelsius etc. So this is the reason why they have given the new name to BPC. I would say functionality wise , yes their are many improvements in the upcoming version.
I hope this helps.

Sushma

Trying to understand the basic concept of object oriented programming.

I am trying to understand the basic concept of object oriented programming.
Object - a region of storage that define is defined by both state/behavior.
( An object is the actual thing that behavior affects.)
State - Represented by a set of variables and the values they contain.
(Is the location or movement or action that is the goal that the behavior is trying to accomplish.)
Variables- (What does this mean?)
Value - (What does this mean?)
Behavior - Represented by a set of methods and the logic they implement.
( A set of methods that is built up to tell's the how object to change it's state. )
Methods - A procedure that is executed when an object receives a message.
( A very basic comand.For example the method tells the object to move up, another method tells the method to go left. Thus making the object move up/left that combination is the behavior.)
Class - A template from which the objects are created.
( I am very confused on what classes are.)
- The definitions of the words I obtained from the "Osborne Teach Yourself Java". The () statements are how I interperate the Mechanisms (I do not know if Thats what you call them.) interact with each other. I understand my interpretation may be horribly wrong. I will incredibly appreciate all the support I may get from you.
Thank you

Object oriented programming is a replacement for the older idea of procedural programming (you can research procedural programming in google). As I understand it, in procedural programming, you have a step by step set of function calls to accomplish some task. Each function receives a data structure, manipulates it, and passes it to the next function. The problem with this is that each function preforms some action for the overall task and can't easily be reused by some other task. Its also harder to read the flow of what is happening with raw data structures flying all over the place.
In object oriented programming, an object calls a function of another object and receives back, not a data structure, but another object. Objects contain a data structure that can only be accessed by its functions. An object is not so much a sub component of a bigger task, as it is a service that any other task can use for any purpose. Also, when you pass an object to the caller, the caller can ask questions about the data structure via its functions. The developer doesnt have to know what the previous function did to the data by reading up on any documentation, or having to reverse engineer the code.
I suggest the best way of learning this is to code something like a library object.
A library object contains a collection of book objects
A book object contains a collection of chapter objects
A chapter object contains a collection of paragraph objects
A paragraph object contains a collection of sentence objects
A sentence object contains a collection of word objects.
Add functions to each object to provide a service
Example: A library object should have a:
public void addBook(Book book)
public Book getBook(String title)
public boolean isBookInLibrary(String title)
The key is to add functions to provide a service to anyone who uses your object(s)
For example, what functions (service) should a paragraph object provide?
It shouldn't provide a function that tells how many words there are in a sentence. That function belongs to a sentence object.
Lets say you want to add a new chapter to a book. The task is easy to read
if you write your objects well:
Sentence sentence1=new Sentence("It was a dark and stormy night");
Sentence sentence2=new Sentence("Suddenly, a shot ran out");
Paragraph paragraph=new Paragraph();
paragraph.addSentence(sentence1);
paragraph.addSentence(sentence2);
Paragraphs paragraphs=new Paragraphs();
paragraphs.addParagraph(paragraph);
Library library= new Library();
library.getBook("My Novel").addChapter("Chapter 1",paragraphs).
Now, lets say you want to have a word count for the entire book.
The book should ask each chapter how many words it contains.
Each chapter should ask its paragraphs, each paragraph should ask
its sentences. The total of words should ripple up and be tallied at each
stage until it reaches the book. The book can then report the total.
Only the sentence object actually counts words. The other objects just tallies the counts.
Now, where would you assign a librarian? What object(s) and functions would you provide?
If written well, the project is easily extensible.

What is the memory concept u201CExport to memory idu201D.

Hello Experts!!!
I am new in OOPS programing. Can please somebody tell me what is the memory concept u201CExport to memory idu201D. Also it will make my life so easy if can have few simple examples.
Thanks.

This is from SAP help:
When you specify MEMORY, the data cluster is written to the ABAP Memory with the stated ID id. id is expected to be a flat character-type data object which contains an identification with a maximum of 60 characters. An already existing data cluster with the same identification id is completely overwritten. By the identification in id, a data cluster is identified in the memory and can be read again with the same identification.
Obsolete short form
The addition ID can be omitted outside classes. However, this is prone to errors, as all EXPORT statements without identification overwrite the same data cluster.
ABAP Memory
Memory area within every main session, which the programs with the statements EXPORT and IMPORT can access. This memory area is maintained via a succession of program calls (call sequence).
Note
A data cluster in the ABAP memory is available to all programs within a call sequence, whereby data can be handed over to called programs.
Example
Two fields with two different identifications "P1" and "P2" with the dynamic variant of the cluster definition are written to the ABAP Memory. After execution of the statement IMPORT, the contents of the fields text1 and text2 are interchanged.
TYPES:
BEGIN OF tab_type,
    para TYPE string,
    dobj TYPE string,
END OF tab_type.
DATA:
id    TYPE c LENGTH 10 VALUE 'TEXTS',
text1 TYPE string VALUE `IKE`,
text2 TYPE string VALUE `TINA`,
line TYPE tab_type,
itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tab_type.
line-para = 'P1'.
line-dobj = 'TEXT1'.
APPEND line TO itab.
line-para = 'P2'.
line-dobj = 'TEXT2'.
APPEND line TO itab.
EXPORT (itab)     TO MEMORY ID id.
IMPORT p1 = text2
       p2 = text1 FROM MEMORY ID id.

The Acquisition of Business Objects

On one business news channel, I saw a half hour program on Business Intelligence. An officer identified as being from Business Objects was present. This is proof of the growing importance of Business Intelligence, and a good way for SAP to market BI.
On the negative side, I read an article that most mergers and acquisitions end up reducing shareholder value. We will have to look up the new market capitalization of SAP, and compare it to the market capitalization of SAP and Business Objects before the acquisition.
What is your opinion of the acquisition of Business Objects by SAP?

Casual investigation into the use of Crystal Reports with MII yielded a major advantage and a couple of disadvantages:
ADVANTAGE: Nice(r?)-looking reports can be generated in a fraction of the time from traditional MII reports
DISADVANTAGES:
1. Deploying similar reports to multiple sites could be a significant headache, since the "XML and Web Services" connection definition is a string and not a set of parameters that allows the server name (for instance) to be modified easily.
2. A schema is required for any report, so this must be created manually or dynamically via XSL

What is the serialization concept in ALE/IDOC?

what is the serialization concept in ALE/IDOC?

Hi Srinu ,
IDoc Serialization means, sending/posting the idocs in sequence.
We serialize IDocs in the following cases:
· If you want the Integration Server to process the corresponding IDoc XML messages in the same sequence that it receives them from the IDoc adapter at the inbound channel.
· If you want the receiver to receive the IDocs in the same sequence that the IDoc adapter sends them at the Integration Server outbound channel.
The sequence at the Integration Server inbound or outbound channel can only be guaranteed if only IDocs are processed, and not if different protocols (for example, IDocs and proxies) are processed together.
Do not confuse IDoc serialization using the IDoc adapter with the ALE serialization of IDocs.
Prerequisites
· The quality of service EOIO (Exactly Once In Order) must be specified in the message header.
· The receiver system or the sender system must be based on SAP Web Application Server 6.40 or higher. If this is not the case, the quality of service is automatically changed to EO for compatibility reasons and the message is processed accordingly.
Procedure
If you want the Integration Server to process the IDoc XML messages created by the IDoc adapter in the same sequence that the IDocs are sent by your application, proceed as follows:
· Enter a queue name in your application. You can use 16 alphanumeric characters. The prefix SAP_ALE_ is then added.
The IDoc adapter checks the prefix and replaces it with the prefix of the corresponding Integration Server inbound queue (for example, XBQI0000).
If you want the receiver to receive the IDocs in the same sequence that they are sent by the Integration Server using the IDoc adapter, proceed as follows:
· In the communication channel, select the check box Queue processing for the receiver.
The IDoc adapter replaces the prefix of the outbound queue (XBQO) with the prefix SAP_ALE_.
You can display the individual messages in the qRFC monitor of the outbound queue. To do this, do one of the following:
¡ Use the queue ID in the list of displayed messages in the monitor for processed XML messages.
¡ Use the transaction ID in the list of displayed XML messages in the IDoc adapter.
¡ Call the transaction qRFC Monitor (Outbound Queue)(SMQ1).
To navigate directly to the display of messages in the IDoc adapter, double click the transaction ID of a message in the outbound queue.
To do this, you must have registered the display program IDX_SHOW_MESSAGE for the outbound queue in the qRFC administration (transaction SMQE) beforehand.
In both cases, the function module IDOC_INBOUND_IN_QUEUE is called, which enables EOIO processing of the messages. The processing sequence is determined by the sequence of the function module calls.
Unlike the other function modules (interface versions from the communication channel), with this function module you have to transfer segment types rather than segment names in the data records.
Serialization of Messages
Use
Serialization plays an important role in distributing interdependent objects, especially when master data is being distributed.
IDocs can be created, sent and posted in a specified order by distributing message types serially.
Errors can then be avoided when processing inbound IDocs.
Interdependent messages can be serially distributed in the following ways:
Serialization by Object Type
Serialization by Message Type
Serialization at IDoc Level
(not for IDocs from generated BAPI-ALE interfaces)
Serialization at IDoc Level
Use
Delays in transferring IDocs may result in an IDoc containing data belonging to a specific object arriving at its destination before an "older" IDoc that contains different data belonging to the same object. Applications can use the ALE Serialization API to specify the order IDocs of the same message type are processed in and to prevent old IDocs from being posted if processing is repeated.
SAP recommends that you regularly schedule program RBDSRCLR to clean up table BDSER (old time stamp).
Prerequisites
IDocs generated by BAPI interfaces cannot be serialized at IDoc level because the function module for inbound processing does not use the ALE Serialization API.
Features
ALE provides two function modules to serialize IDocs which the posting function module has to invoke:
· IDOC_SERIALIZATION_CHECK
checks the time stamps in the serialization field of the IDoc header.
· IDOC_SERIAL_POST
updates the serialization table.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/78/2175a751ce11d189570000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Ex: ADRMAS, DEBMAS(customer)
ADRMAS, CREMAS(Vendor)
In this case, Before posting Customer Data or Vendor Data it requires Address Data.

What is the use of Adapter objects in I.R

what is the use of Adapter objects in I.R

congratulations you successfully opened 1000 new threads...
adapters are components of the adapter engine, their main action is to connect different sysems with each other. therefore are different adapters:
SAP-2-SAP Adapters: like IDoc and RFC
SAP-2-NOT-SAP-ADapters: like JMS, JDBC, HTTP..
and B2B Adapters...

What is the use of passing object reference to itself ?

What is the use of passing object reference to itself ?
regards,
namanc

There is an use for returning an object reference from itself, for instance:
class C {
public:
     C append(C c) {
         // do something interesting here, and then:
         return this;
}You can "chain" calls, like this:
C c = new C();
C d = new C();
C e = new C();
c.append (d).append (e);Maybe the OP has "inverted" the common usage, or thought about a static method of a class C that requires a parameter of type C (effectively being a sort of "non-static method").
class C {
    static void doAnotherThing (C c) {
        c.doSomething(); //-- effectively C.doAnotherThing(c) is an "alternative syntax" for c.doSomething()

Can anyone help me what is the use of business and proxy service in osb?

Hi,
I am new in Osb what is the use of business service and proxy service in osb.
I know little bit proxy service is used for actual message flow. I saw some project proxy service invoking the (using service callout,routing and publish) service,but the wsdl of the services of the proxy and business service is same.
Please can anyone explain the flow while executing through soapUI?(that means it will hit 1st business services or proxy service)
I have this project structure
business service
1.reference.biz----> this is the wsdl of ex:reference.wsdl
2.external.biz----> this is the wsdl of ex:external.wsdl
proxy service
1.referece.proxy--->this is the wsdl of ex:reference.wsdl(in this proxy we are routing to reference.biz proxy service both contains same wsdls why?)
xqueries of request and response.
Best Regards,
Raju.

Hi Raju,
Proxy Service - It is the starting point of you OSB application which deal with receiving messages, inducing logic in it like transformation, if-else, replace, java call outs,etc. You can put in your program logic here and then invoke a business service to route it to your Database or to any other queue as per your requirement.
Business Service - It is generally used for routing purposes, like inserting the input in your Database or sending it to a different queue or BPEL process, etc..

What is the use for lock object and how to use the lock objects

Hi Guru's,
I am new to ABAP .Can you please clarify the that what is the use of lock object and how to use the loct object .what is use of the Deque & Enque function modules .

hi ,
below are some minfo about lock objects :
Lock Objects
These types of objects are used for locking the access to database records in table. This mechanism is used to enforce data integrity that is two users cannot update the same data at the same time. With lock objects you can lock table-field or whole table.
In a system where many users can access the same data, it becomes necessary to control the access to the data. In R/3 system this access control is built-in on database tables. Developers can also lock objects over table records.
To lock an object you need to call standard functions, which are automatically generated while defining the lock object in ABAP/4 dictionary. This locking system is independent of the locking mechanism used by the R/3 system. This mechanism also defines LUW i.e. Logical Unit of Work. Whenever an object is locked, either by in built locking mechanism or by function modules, it creates corresponding entry in global system table i.e. table is locked. The system automatically releases the lock at the end of transaction. The LUW starts when a lock entry is created in the system table and ends when the lock is released.
Creating Lock Objects
Lock object is an aggregated dictionary object and can be defined by using the following steps:
o From initial data dictionary screen, enter the name for the object, Click Lock object radiobutton and then click on Create. The system displays a dialog box for Maintain Lock Objects screen
o Enter short text as usual and the name for primary table.
-Save
-Select Tables option
From this screen you can:
Select secondary tables, if any, linked by foreign key relationship.
Fields for the lock objects. This option allows you to select fields for objects (R/3 system allows locking up to record level). Lock object argument are not selected by user but are imposed by the system and includes all the primary keys for the table.
1) Exclusive lock: The locked data can only be displayed or edited by a single user. A request for another exclusive lock or for a shared lock is rejected.
2) Shared lock: More than one user can access the locked data at the same time in display mode. A request for another shared lock is accepted, even if it comes from another user. An exclusive lock is rejected.
3) Exclusive but not cumulative: Exclusive locks can be requested several times from the same transaction and are processed successively. In contrast, exclusive but not cumulative locks can be called only once from the same transaction. All other lock requests are rejected.
Also, last but not the least, locking the object is logical (locking with any enqueue ) .so, you have to use the lock object while trying to access from second program .

What is the new sap note for Ptax slabs of FY 2011-12.

Dear Experts,
we are currently using ECC 6.0, release 604, patch level 0035 and support package SAPKE60435. professional tax slabs not updated in table V_T7INP4.
what is the new sap note for Ptax slabs of FY 2011-12.

Hi,
The Profession Tax tables T7INP3 & T7INP4 are customizing tables in which the entries are to be modified. SAP provides the initial entries and, if there is any change in slab rates, then you would need to update these slabs manually.
Please delimit the slab code in table T7INP3 and then create a new slab code entry from the date of delimition for the new rates in table T7INP4.

Hello,
Versions 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 are actually patched version of APEX 3.1. As such, they don’t introduce new features, but mainly fix bugs from the main release. If you want to learn specific details about these versions, you should read the readme file attached to the patch set files (on metalink).
It’s always best to work with the latest patched version, as it reduces your chances to encounter bugs. In general, so far the new APEX versions added many new features and technologies, while maintaining backward compatibility, so existing applications functionality is not impaired. Personally, I don’t see any reason not to upgrade and use the latest version, certainly when you are comparing 3.1 to 3.1.2.
Regards,
Arie.
