BusinessObjects Component

The SAP BuinessObjects component allows you to run Web Intelligence reports.

Prerequisites

The Redwood SAP BusinessObjects component is packaged as a separate car file that can be requested from Redwood. It requires RunMyJobs / Cronacle / BPA version 9.1.x or newer.

Installation

On release 9.1.x or higher the .car file can be installed using standard promotion. By default, the car file requires the partition SAPBOBJ to exist before it can be imported.

Please create this partition before using importing or select an existing partition when importing.

Contents of the car file

The car file consists of the following objects:

Object Type	Name
Process Definition	SAPBOBJ.Custom_BOBJ_ImportReports
Process Definition	SAPBOBJ.Custom_BOBJ_ShowSchedule
Process Definition	SAPBOBJ.Custom_BOBJ_RunReport
Library	SAPBOBJ.Custom_BOBJ

Setup

CUSTOM_BOBJ processes need standard BOBJ Process Server and Queue. By default, all the CUSTOM_BOBJ objects live in the partition SAPBOBJ (RMJ customer).
