Add Data - Location Types will not populate

[Anonymous User]

Hello,

I have a customer in our Business Objects group who is trying to add data using the ESRI Maps for BO.  He creates his data from a spreadsheet within BO, selects data, binds the data and so forth...step by step according to the help via ESRI.  After "add data to map" and it finds his layer, the define the location option doesn't have a list to select from.  The "How is location represented in your data", (specify how locaiton is represented in the current dataset ex:lat/long, address, US City, US State, etc.) list is empty.  Any suggestions on what we might be missing?

Hello Susan,

The location types problem has been fixed in EM4BOBJv2.0. Verify that versions of both server and client components installed are version 2.0. To check the version of the server component installed:

• navigate to the <SAP BOBJ Install Dir>\webapps\em4bobj\em4bobj\
• open the version.txt file.
• The version number should be 2.0

To check the version of the add-on in SAP Dashboard:

• Launch SAP Dashboards
• Create a new blank dashboard
• Click on File, then select Manage Add-Ons
• Select the Esri Maps for SAP BusinessObjects Add-On
• In the Add-on  Details, the version should be 2.0

If any of the versions is not you can obtain the EM4BOBJv2.0 download from the product page.

If both versions are 2.0, then clear your IE browser cache, re-launch SAP Dashboards. The location types should be visible.

Thank you

Shirley

not very good at problem reporting. I see we got the version 1 installed.

Hello Susan,

At this point you have 2 options:

1. Upgrade to EM4BOBJ2.0 and take advantage of the new features in the software. As I mentioned earlier you can download the Esri Maps for SAP BusinessObjects from esri.com. Follow the steps described in the Upgrade Esri Maps for SAP BusinessObjects section of the online help to upgrade from EM4BOBJ1.0 to EM4BOBJ2.0.
2. Configure the proxy by doing the following:
   1. Verify that you can route and HTTP request through the internal proxy. For example http://<mySAPBIPlatformServer>/em4bobj/dashb/proxy.jsp?http://www.arcgis.com/sharing?f=pjson should return the ArcGIS online version. If this is successful, proceed to the next step
   2. Refer to the knowledge base article Problem: Location types are missing when adding data from a business system to resolve the problem. 

Hope this helps.

Hi Shirley

Seems like the demo portal license for 10.3 timed out last month and this is preventing access.

Back to the ESRI Reseller to fix up.

Many thanks for your help.

Hi,

Finally the issue is resolved by customizing proxy.jsp page to include code for proxy authentication. It might be required because of restricted network in my office.

Thanks & Regards,
