CRM factsheet and BI 7.0 Web-Templates in Federated Portal Network Scenario

Hi All,
i have some essential questions regarding a Federated Portal Network Scenario.
Our costumer works with 1 CRM-Portal (CRM 5.0, EP 7.0) and 1 BI-Portal (BI/EP 7.0).
He decided to implement a Federated Portal Network, using the CRM-Portal as the Consumer-Portal.
In the CRM-Portal we are working with the Business Package for SAP_CRM which also comprises Reports that are called from the BI.
The BI-Reports (BI 7.0 Web Templates) are now stored in the BI-Portal
How i can assign these BI-Reports (producer) into the factsheet of the CRM-Portal (consumer)?
Is that generally possible that the facsheet of the Consumer Portal (CRM) works togehther with BI 7.0 Web Templates from the Producer-Portal (BI)?
Best regards
Mustafa Darwish

It's been solved.
See note: 1058268 - BI 7.0 WebTemplates do not run in CRM 5.0 specific iViews

Caching web templates using the portal cache - experiences

Hi,
To improve performance, I would like to cache a (7.0) web template in the portal. I adjusted the iView by changing the following fields:
Cache Level to shared
Cache Validity Period to 1 hour
However, the template still takes 10 seconds to load, the same time as before.
The template doesn't have a variable screen that is shown (all variables are optional), so according to note 1002778 'Caching in the Enterprise Portal' there doesn't seem te be a problem.
Do you have suggestions why it doesn't work, and if there steps I could perform to make it working?
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi,
Finally SAP OSS has answered me on portal caching in BI 7.0. From their reaction:
"In the new Portal infrastructure in NetWeaver 7.0 the iView properties
for iView portal caching are not evaluated by BI as it was in BW 3.5.
In 3.5 portal infrastructure this feature had special implementation
which was evaluated as not situable for the NW 7.0 infrastructure.
The iView properties are visible, even if they do not fit to BI
iViews as we do not have the possiblity to switch off this visibility
for some types of iViews.
Nevertheless, some parts like Web Templates, Web Items are stored
in the cache on Java Server and are reused when the same Template
is loaded again.
So in 7.0 we do not have functionality like in 3.x for storing of
the generrated HTML. As of my knowladge, there is no workaround for
that (besides what you have mentioned."
So we'll have to wait for the BO stuff, which has pretty good pre-calculations options which can serve as cache.
Kind regards,
Daniel

About web templates inside the portal

Hi !
I need your help because I would like to do something and I cant do it, even after reading a lot of documentation.
I would like to display my lovely web templates (made with the Web Application Designer) inside the portal, through the BI > Bex Web Analyzer. But there, I can only open queries, views and infoproviders.
Is there an easy way to display my web templates in the portal ?
Thanks for your help,
Best regards.

Hi Cedric,
The setting of web templates for BEX is available in BI.
You can check IMG setting in the SPRO transaction, setting up the BEX templates.
There you can define the tchnical name of the template.
After the changes been done, remember to restart the ABAP stack.

Supporting BW 3.5 and BI 7.0 Web Reports in NW04s Portal

Hi All,
I have been able to identify any documentation confirming that web reports from both BW 3.5 and BI 7.0 can be supported within the same portal.
Can someone please point me to documentation supporting this solution? Or, provide me with further understanding of this model. Points will be rewarded...
Thanks!
Dana

Hi KJ,
Yes, I have already reviewed that blog. However, that is only discussing the interoperability of the BW 3.5 and BI 7.0 frontend tools.
I'm interested in supporting/publishing both BW 3.5 and BI 7.0 Web Reports via the portal, not building the web reports.
Thanks!

ITS iView and Session Management in Federated Portal Network

Hi,
We use an ITS iView for an HR application in the Portal. When used in federation the session management doesn not work correctly. We fill in a selection screen in the begin of the application and then run the report. When we click the back button in the Portal and then reload the app, the selection of the previous session is used, in stead of showing a new selection screen.
This only occurs when used in Federated Portal Network. SAP OSS already pointed out that the USR_ABORT command is not given in the consumer Portal. How can we make sure that this command is given, so that the session is correctly closed? How can we set these session management properties and options?
Best regards,
Jan Laros

Solved it. It is done in the federation configuration. In SAP Note 880482 - Central Note: Federated Portal Network (SAP NetWeaver 7.0) the problem is identified, specific for SPS13. The two properties of the producer: External Hostname and External Port were not updated properly and needed to be changed manually.

Error when publishing web templates in the portal

hi Gurus,
I am getting this error when I try to publish my web report on the portal,
Field E_SX_META_DATA not a member of OUTPUT.
Can anyone please let me know how to go about fixing this error ?
Thanks in advance,
Nip

Hi,
You mean you want to execute the template even after this design time error. If yes then you can simply go to the backend and Transaction "SE38" then in the next screen type "RS_TEMPLATE_MAINTAIN_70" and then in the next screen type your template name ans then press "Execute" button to see temlate in Java Web.

Problems displaying Web Templates in Enterprise Portal

Hi folks,
I'm trying to create an iView showing a BI-Webtemplate. Both systems, the BI and the EP are running on different servers in the same domain and are both using Netweaver 7.0.
I've created a new system using the "SAP System Dedicated Application Server"-Template. I've also configured all necessary options for a connection via the WAS and logon with UIDPWD. The connection test also succeeds.
From the Web Application Designer I got the following URL to my web template:
http://<domain>:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?TEMPLATE=Z_BL_GP_RW_01&DUMMY=1
I've then created an iView (BEx Web Application iView (SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Format)) pasting TEMPLATE=Z_BL_GP_RW_01&DUMMY=1 as web application query string and entered the correct system alias.
The problem is, when previewing I can enter my credentials but then I receive a 404 error. It's not that the template isn't there, the URL generated by the portal to call the template is wrong, because the wrong port is used. The generated URL is:
http://<domain>:8000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtmode/preview/prtroot/com.sap.ip.bi.web.portal.integration.launcher
Well, it's the right port for the WAS, but apparently not the right port for the web template which should be 50000. When I set the the port in the system configuration for the WAS to 50000, the connection test fails, but I don't get a 404 error when previewing the iView. Nonetheless the template is not displayed correctly...
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Danny,
Logon to the BI system and go to transaction SE37 and execute RSBB_URL_PREFIX_GET to get the portnumber, try applying this and test your iview again.
If this does not resolve the issue I suggest you to refer to SAP Note 937697 - Usage of SAP NetWeaver BI Diagnostics & Support Desk Tool, it is a pretty simple tool and helps in resolving most issues with regards to BI Portal integration.

Variants of web templates in the portal

Hello,
We launch our BI web templates via iViews in the portal. Some users
have saved their personal variants in the portal, but after the version
of the web template has changed, they do not access their variants any
more.
Are the variants in the portal linked to the version of the web
template ? How is it possible to retrieve the variants ?
Thank you in advance

Can I run a 3.5 web template in the Portal

I need to use the BW 3.5 Table Interface so that I can insert a character in a column. The character I insert needs to be determined dynamically based on the data returned in the query. In BI 7.0, the Table Interface functionality is obsolete. Since I know I can do this in BW 3.5, I need to know if I can run a BW 3.5 web report in the Portal.
Thanks.
Ryan

Yes you can run on it on a portal.

Using WEB Analyzer SAVE and OPEN view in web templates?

Hi all,
The WEB Analyzer available with BW3.5 is a welcome alternative to BEX, so I'm trying to convert my existing WEB applications running BEX queries by adding functions such as OPEN and SAVE view.
I'm trying to do this by modifying my existing templates and adding the functions/object as they are used in 0ANALYZER, but I haven't got it working.
Is this the way to go? Can it be done in this way?

Query related to BEx query and web template migration

Hi,
We are upgrading our BW system from BW 3.5 to 7.3 and also planning to migrate the existing BEx 3.X queries and web templates to BEx 7.x version.
We have BEx queries and web templates published on enterprise portal in roles.
My query is that after we migrate BEx 3.5 queries and web templates to new version, do we need to re-publish these (migrated) queries and web templates on the portal or users will be able to access the reports without any issues.
or are there any post migration steps that we need to follow so that reports (with migrated version) are available to the end users through portal as before.
Thanks,
Tarun.

Regarding upgrade of web report\web templates functionalites BW 3.5-BI 7.0

hi all,
         I m working on a Upgrade study from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0 for Web Templates,web items and java scripts.
Below is the scenario of the client system:
New web templates are created from the 6 master web templates available for publishing to a custom Portal (created using BSP and hosted on the WAS). TOOLBAR and FOOTER are custom web templates used in all Master Templates and contain various JavaScript functions and footer code respectively.
TOOLBAR provides the Toolbar, header and buttons functionalities in the Master Templates via the contained Javascript functions. FOOTER displays the date and time of issue as well the logged in user.
FOOTER1 and FOOTER2 are web items derived from FOOTER web template. They have different set of web item properties and are used to create web templates used through the custom Portal.
It is observed from BW Tables that out of 100 unique Web Templates available in the system, 90 are using TOOLBAR template and 95 are using FOOTER template.
No external Javascript .js files are used in the Web templates. Most of the Javascript functionality is contained in TOOLBAR and no other custom javascript in master templates. However, there are some derived web templates where custom javascript is contained.
Following is the process to create custom Web Templates in development server that are eventually transported to QA and Production:
1)     The appropriate master template is identified and saved with new name in developer role.
2)     Dataprovider is added to corresponding web items.
3)     From the library, properties are transferred from master template to the custom template.
4)     Report title is added in HTML tab.
5)     No changes are needed in the Web Templates Properties except change of value in Show Jump Target in field to the portal Frame ConPortal or _self in case RRI is to be used.
6)     Some properties like Title, Width in Pixel, Affected Data Provider, etc. needs to be adjusted. Changes can be done to web items seen in Overview tab except the FOOTER and TOOLBAR web items. These web items are saved as reusable components in Library.
7)     After all the changes the web template created is transported from development server.
To summarize, all master data for creation of web templates like reusable master templates, web items in library, web templates containing Javascript code are stored in dev. server. Custom web templates created from these are transported.
I want to validate the sequence of migration as below:
Following sequence has to be followed for the Web Templates and Queries Migration in development BI 7.0 Server:
1)     Migrate the Individual BEx Queries first and perform functional testing.
2)     Migrate the TOOLBAR template manually (create as new in BI 7.0 Toolset) and FOOTER template automatically (using Migration Tool).
3)     Manually migrate the JavaScript code in TOOLBAR. Please refer to section ..for more details.
4)     Migrate the library of reusable web items, if any.
      (What to do if web item is custom or is not supported in BI 7.0)
5)     Migrate the Master Web Templates manually (create as new in BI 7.0 Toolset) and automatically (wherever possible) and perform functional testing.
6)     Migrate the custom web templates automatically (wherever possible) and manually, if automatic migration is not possible. Perform functional testing and data provider binding.
7)     Perform jump target binding wherever applicable.
8)     Transport custom templates, TOOLBAR and FOOTER to QA and Production subsequently.
Also i have the following questions:
1. How to migrate functionalities accessed thru web templates like jump queries, general navigation blocks with filter, table interface, and are data providers automatically linked to web items or have to be done manually post migration.
2. Do we need to migrate the library of reusable web items also.
3. After migrating the master web templates and javascript containing templates to BI 7.0, can we migrate automatically the custom webtemplates derived from master templates and containing the custom javascript that is now avaialbe in BI 7.0, will they pick up the custom code automatically.
thanks in advance

Create a custom web template using VS 2012 with web features,site features sections applied

hi,
Want to create a custom web template using VS 2012 in my SP 2013 environment. i know "Vesku" has posted a great artice on this [ based on prev. version of SP].
here -
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vesku/archive/2010/10/14/sharepoint-2010-and-web-templates.aspx
i am looking for a code based article which has step by step process which provides how to add the site features, web features and attach the eventreceivers etc etc on sitecollection creation when i apply this template from central admin.
can anyone provide me any links / any source how to create a custom web template with one / two custom features - site features element and web features element , / master page etc ....
I am stuck with this. as part of my reqmnt, i need to create a webtemplate with all the customlistinstances, custompagelayouts, custom masterpages, custom appln pages, custom web parts.
help is appreciated !
Das

The problem is that Web Templates are deployed to a gallery in a site collection and aren't available in Central Admin when creating a new site collection. YOu have to create the site collection without choosing a template and then choose your web
template when you first access the root site in the site collection. Here's an article that discusses that process here:
http://sharepointchick.com/archive/2011/02/10/using-web-templates-to-create-site-collections.aspx
Other than that Vesa's article is still the best one and works essentially the same in 2013 as it does in 2010.
