Sap Bobj Interview Questions

Salve, Quid Agis.

Hey, wait, wait. You aren’t on some Latin blog. I just greeted you. Hey, how are you?

Today, I was intrigued if what makes a person apprehensive. After giving a meaningful thought, I concluded that knowledge and preparation make a person confident in any situation. Otherwise, the scene seems to be Greek and Latin as my greeting.

Ok, on point now, to instill the most required confidence in you, to attend the interview and secure a job in SAP BO, I’m here to help you with SAP BOBJ interview questions and answers, prepared based on my experience.

Shall we make a start now? Let’s go

  1. Define SAP Business Objects?

SAP Business Objects is a business intelligence tool featuring reporting, analysis, and querying as main functionalities to help managers enhance their decision-making process and get rapid solutions to challenges in business.

  1. What are the advantages of using the SAP BOBJ suite?

Using business objects has numerous advantages, including the following:

  • Availability of user-friendly self-service tools.
  • Familiar Business Jargon
  • Impeccable GUI
  • Document deployment at an enterprise level using Webi.
  • Drag and drop feature
  • Powerful reports in a shorter period.
  1. Make a list of all of the Business Objects-related products.

There are numerous types of products associated with business objects.

  • User module
  • Broadcast Agent
  • Designer
  • Business Objects-Software Development-Kit
  • Supervisor
  • Info View
  • Auditor
  • Set Analyzer
  1. What is a Designer?

End users are protected from technology and database structure problems by universes, which can be viewed as a semantic layer. Designers utilize a Business Objects module’s designer to construct and maintain universes. Universe designers can share universes with end-users by transferring them as a file over the file system or exporting them to the repository.

  1. What are the different modes related to designer and business objects?

There are two types of modes linked with designer and business objects.

Enterprise mode

Workgroup mode

  1. What are the numerous multidimensional analysis methods within business objects?

Inside BO, there are two different approaches for multidimensional analysis, and these methods are as follows:

Drill down

Slice & Dice

  1. Make a list of the different types of users linked with business objects.

There are various types of users linked with the business object.

General supervisor

Versatile User

Supervisor

End-User

Graphical Interface

Supervisor Designer

Designer

  1. List the different available data sources?

Accessing data from different sources is made easier with business objects. RDBMS such as Oracle, MS SQL Server, and IBM DB2 can be used to obtain data.

  1. What are the different types of data providers?

There are several types of data providers for business objects to choose from.

Stored procedures

Queries over universe

Freehand -SQL

VBA procedures

SAP

OLAP servers

Personal data files

  1. What is drill mode?

A drill is a mode of analysis linked with business objects that aid in breaking down data and viewing it from all angles and degrees of detail to find the element that generated an excellent or negative result.

  1. Define Personal Connection?

A single user creates a personal connection, which cannot be shared with others. The information about such a connection is generally saved in the PDAC.LSI file.

  1. Define Shared Connection?

Multiple users can use a Shared connection through a shared server. The connection details can be discovered in the SDAC>LSI file in the business objects’ installation folder.

  1. Define secured connection?

A secured connection is a connection that assists you in reducing the many limits that come with other types of connections. The authorizations associated with this type of connection can be specified for both documents and objects. Only the secured connection can be used to bring universes into the central repository. The parameters of these connections are frequently saved in CMS.

  1. What are custom hierarchies?

Custom hierarchies define the universe for customized drill down, which can occur between objects from distinct or the same classes depending on the user’s needs.

  1. How are custom hierarchies created?

Custom hierarchies are created in BO designer by going to tools ->hierarchies.

  1. What is a Context in the Universe?

Context can be described as the path a join takes between a set of joins or tables for a query. A specific object found inside the table column and belonging to a particular context is expected to be compatible with all other objects belonging to the same context. This ensures that a loop does not produce an inaccurate result or that there are no other issues with the join path. Different types of SQL can be generated in the case of items from various contexts, and the results can be integrated inside the micro cube.

  1. How are Contexts created?

Context can be created by using context-related features or by manual operations. The context is frequently established by logical calculations or based on business requirements. The detect context function may not be handy in this scenario, so the manual technique should be used instead.

  1. Define the concept of a Chasm Trap.

The chasm trap is a condition that occurs when the values in the fact table are inflated when the values from two independent fact tables are measured using the dimensions from the dimension table.

  1. How to overcome a Chasm trap?

Two distinct strategies should be used to solve the chasm trap.

  • When using SQL parameters in the universe, the option generates multiple queries for each metric that needs to be selected—this aids in developing SQL statements for each measure and ensures accurate output.
  • Another method is to use two joints in distinct contexts and solve the problem by generating two synchronized queries.
  1. What advantages do Derived tables provide?

Derived tables are built in the universe using SQL queries from the database level. The columns used in the query will be the columns of the derived table. The derived table can be used to do complex computations that are difficult to accomplish at the report level. Another usage of derived tables is to access tables from a different schema via a dblink.

  1. What are user objects?

The universe designer creates a universe of classes and objects called user objects. If the objects in the universe do not meet your requirements, the user can create his objects, known as User objects.

  1. Make a list of all the @functions.

The @functions are:

  • @Aggregate_Aware
  • @Prompt
  • @Script
  • @Where
  • @Select
  • @Variable
  1. What are the benefits of using @functions?

The @prompt is a function that prompts the user to enter specific values.

The @Script method will recover the Visual Basic for Applications macro results.

The @Select function can be used to reuse an existing SELECT statement.

The value assigned to a name or variable will be accessed using @Variable.

The where @Where functions can reuse the clause of an existing object.

  1. In Business Objects, how many domains are there? What exactly are they?

Business Objects are divided into three domains:

Security

Document

Universe

  1. How do get data from one derived table into another?

Using the @Derived table method, we may access one derived table from another. The following is the syntax:

@derived_table(the derived table name)

  1. In Business Objects, define Slice.

Slice is used to rename, reset, and delete blocks in either the master or detail reports.

  1. Distinguish between dice and slices.

Slice is a tool that renames, resets, and deletes blocks. It may be used with the master/detail report to provide a more comprehensive report.

Dice: It shows the data and then removes it. It converts crosstabs and tables into charts and the other way around.

  1. Define master/detail report?

Using a master/detail report, large data blocks can be divided into pieces. This can be used to eliminate repeating data, as well as to display subtotals.

  1. What is a Class?

A collection of items in a universe can be defined as a class. Subclasses can be derived from classes, and a hierarchy can be built utilizing these classes and their subclasses.

  1. How many ways are there to link universes?

There are three methods for linking universes that can be used:

The Kernel method.

The Master’s method.

The Component method.
