About myself I started in 1999 with Seagate Software (coming from an actual customer) as Trainer and Consultant in Frankfurt looking after Crystal Reports and Seagate Info. In 2000 I was given the great opportunity to be part of a small team working togehter with the SAP BI Development group to create the first integration of Crystal Reports as part of SAP BI, which then resulted in the OEM relationship between SAP and Crystal Decisions. I did spend 4 1/2 years in Walldorf and did then decide to continue my career in th beautiful Vancouver as Product Manager / Program Manager looking at the integration of Crystal Decisions / BusinessObjects products into the SAP landscape. For a short period I did help to create a training team focusing on our SAP solutions and to create training material for partners and internal employees. Now I am focused on the topic of "Embedded Analytics" between SAP and BusinessObjects products (and in the spare time on SDN). ... and my last and so far greatest experience is to share my knowledge in form of my first own book. You can find the detail here. |

just had a conversation with Francois Imberton concering a communication problem between SAP BI and BO Enterprise. He gave me your name as one who can probably solve the issue:
Issue:
In one of my projects, we using SAP BI, BO XI3.1 and CRYSTAL REPORTS. CRYSTAL REPORTS using SAP INTEGRAION to retrieve data from SAP BI --> works fine.
Now we need to schedule BO XI3.1 for a particaluar CR report to generate PDF --> on DEMAND.
The UI is a WEB - DYNPRO - ABAP withiin SAP BI.
Out goal is now, implement a consumer service (Enterprise Service) within SAP using e.g SESSION.WSDL.
The Proxy is generation works fine. If we test the generated ABAP - methods (e.g. getVERSION) this works fine to.
BUT THEE LOGIN METHOD IS NOT WORKING.
Question:
Do you have experiance using ABAP-MEthods (generated from the conusmer service) to communicate with BO WEB SERVICES. Especially SESSION.WSDL and BIPLATFROM.WSDL.
All communication with SAP via OSS give us no usefull information.
I really facing a problem in my project and it would be very nice if you can replay on this comment.

I've heard you might be able to help me. My name is Roberto Bernal and right now I'm on a project wich involves working with universe designer.
Issue:
The problem I am experimenting is that I didn't built the universe but They did it too big not to mention that from my point of view it was poorly designed, for example They integrated all business areas in the same universe, some areas are not even in use right now, but they are on the universe. Another example is that once they have inserted all tables from the datasource, they clicked the "detect combinations" button so the universe has a lot of loops.
The main problem right now is that this project I'm on... Its objective is to separate the actual universe into smaller, easier to maintain universes in wich each universe shall represent a business area. I've read about linking universes and including universes, but I have also read about some disadvantages and some restrictions about this topic, Can you tell me what do you thing about this two methods ?? I think those could help me because I'm gonna need to use some objects, tables etc. from different universes and I just dont know how can I do that.
If you have any other ideas about that point of relating universes, I would really appreciate your help.
