CMS Snapshot Analysis - Run Analyzer - Missing objects - BO with extension - BO Analyzer

This page handles the issue of missing objects after analyzing Business Objects applications using SAP BO extension.

Perform the below actions

1. Check if the source files for the missing objects are present in the deploy folder. Here we need to check if BXML file is correctly extracted from UNV file.
2. Get an example of the objects which is missing say "BO class" object and see from which BXML file it belongs to and then further investigate on that file as described below.
   1. Open the analysis log and see the analysis of the BXML file, check if we have any warnings/error for that BXML file or if there is nothing in the analysis log related to that file. Ideally in BO analysis, the occurrence of BXML file will be several times.
   2. If this is a rescan it would be better to compare the analysis log from the previous run and see what went wrong and why the file is not analyzed.
   3. One of the known issues is listed below
      

      The element <Comments> of <UniversePropertiescontains> escape (&) characters, this causes an error in the xml library used for reading bxml.

      A workaround is to replace the '&'  

        only in text of comments

        <UniverseProperties >
          <Comments>

      </Comments>
