Implementing BI Content, Portal etc..

Hi Gurus!
I am quite new with portals.(1) Where and how exactly would I know what portal are we using in BW? Are there standard portals that I can access? We are using BW ver. 3.5 and the support packages below:
SAP_BW     350     0013
BI_CONT     353     0008
(2) Also, with regards to BI Content, we are implementing SAP BW in Retail so I activated all the necessary objects from InfoCubes, MultiProviders, Queries etc. However, users want it web-based so I created my own standard format for all the reports (including background with logo, different stylesheet.. etc). So with all the activated BI Content queries do I have to create a new Web report for each query or is there any other way to implement all the BI Content queries in Web?
(3) Once every Web reports are done, any suggestions on how to implement these to users? Of course I will create roles or each Functional Business Users, I just don't know where can they access it better? The only thing I can think of is the BEx Browser which I think is kind of obsolete already. By the way, we don't have any Web developer so I am just going to use whatever is available in BW package.
I need your help! Will definitely assign points when answered.
Many thanks!

Hi,
The use of protal in BI has picked up the speed from the version BIW 7 .Half of the  customers who are using vesrion BIW 3.5 or below are not at all using Portal as a integrated tool to BIW. So you can provide the acess to the BIW reports to the endusers through the Bex Browser(with out using EP).
Use the below document to enable the Web in BIW .Just you need to do few seeting .
How to Enable Web Reporting
How to Enable Web reporting after new installation
SO you create the queries in the Query designer and you will use these queries in Web Application Designer to create the Web Templates.And the web templated are inserted into the roles through the Web Application designer tool itself.
So when the End user who has that role, logged into the browser , and he can see the links to execute those web templates(reports).
Still the end user can save those links in differen folders to organise better.
With rgds,

  • Implementing Shared Content in V2

    We are currently implementing a public web site in release V2.
    We have two page groups, 'Members' and 'Public'. There is content
    that is the same that can be shared between these two page groups.
    We are implementing this shared content as items which are placed on
    a page, the page is then exposed as a portlet and can be placed on
    multiple pages as needed.
    Our issue is that the shared content has links within it that should
    open in the context that the user is navigating in (eg if the user is
    in the members page group, the link must open up in a subpage
    in the members group).
    Is there any way of implementing shared content links to point
    to different sub-pages in the portal.
    Thanks,

  • Implementing External facing portal

    Hi,
         Some can explain in detail how to implement external facing portal.I am using EP7.0. I need implementation methodology or related document.
    Thanks,
    Kundan

    Hi Sreeni,
                     Thanks for your replay.Actually i have this document but i am confuse to move further.Can you explain little bit on these points
    1.      Define user profiles (system administrator).
    Set up the portal to accept anonymous users, and define the users and groups to which anonymous and self-registered users are mapped.----
           2.      Assign content to users (user administrator).
    Select the content to be accessible to anonymous and self-registered users, and assign these users to the content-----?.
           3.      Configure the navigation cache (system administrator).
    To improve performance, the portal caches navigation hierarchies and nodes, so that the portal can retrieve the hierarchy from the cache instead of creating it for each request.
    By default, caching is turned off. After the portal is set up and tested, turn on and configure caching by setting the appropriate J2EE parameters.
           4.      Create/modify navigation iViews (developer).
    Create your own navigation iViews, or modify the default light navigation iViews to fit your companyu2019s needs. You can use the Navigation tag library to build JSP-based navigation iViews.
           5.      Customize the light framework page (content administrator).
    Replace the navigation iViews in the light framework page with your customized navigation iViews.
           6.      Customize styles (system administrator).
    The Theme Editor includes styles that are used in the default light navigation iViews.
           7.      Assign the light framework page to users (system administrator).
    Using desktop display rules, assign the light framework page to anonymous and self-registered users, as well as other users who need it.
    You can assign the framework pages based on the URL alias, role, or group, or the useru2019s network bandwidth.

  • Monitoring, Tracing Implementation within Enterprise Portal

    Hi all,
    I am not sure how to point out my situation but I need to figure out a way to save all the information a user leaves behind when logging on to Portal and does any kind of activity. In my case, I have someone who logs on, requests something and e.g. a new business partner is created. I need to monitor all the information from this user like what did he do ( e.g. activity ) and time, etc. I know that the portal offers functionality that monitors and traces (System Administration->Monitoring) but I need someting more adjusted to my needs.
    This would mean I would have to set up a database myself and integrate this into the enterprise environment together with some iViews, etc. I guess.
    Has anyone have done anything like this before or can anyone give me a hint how this could be realized (like DB, iViews, functionality, etc)? Any help is welcomed!
    Cheers,
    Erdal

    Hi,
    I would suggest to create an Invisible IView in your Desktop Frameworkpage.
    So that this is called every time the page refreshes/navigates.
    Here are some ideas to realise it:
    1. Service which has DB connection open and saves the user specific tracing information in your DB tables.
    2. Implement a component (Your invisible Iview should be created from this component), which will pass the users activity to service.

  • Implementation of Enterprise Portal on Solution Manager 7.0 /ECC 6.0

    Hello  EP Experts
    Need your help to implement Enterprise Portal on Sulution Manager.   As we know Solution Manager/ECC has Java Stack, and since it has JAVA Stack Currently BI is working and its been using.  Since, BI is there my undrestanding is part of Netweaver is installed on the Box.  So, my Question is;
    1. Is it possible to activiate or implement Enterprise Portal on Solution Manager/ECC with the available resources?
    2. If yes, how to do this? What are the additional contents to be installed
    Please provide me the detailed information regarding this. 
    Thank You
    Aftab

    Hi,
    the enterprise portal is deployed /installed on the Web AS Java - not on solution manager. BI installation comes together with a portal installation. It's also possible to have a WebAS Java without enterprise portal but not in case of BI.

  • Photoshop CS6 content (pictures, etc) will not display (or only partually) on the stage.

    I just purchased and loaded Photoshop CS6.  Pictures (actually this is for all content in any layers) will not display at all or only partually display (see picture below). I uninstalled and reinstalled the program but there is no change.  The other Adobe products from the Master Suite Collection run fine (Flash, Encoder, etc).  I am thinking that my instalation disc may be corrupted.  Can you give me any advice?

    Most likely the video card driver.  Update it in GPU makers website.  Need make and model of video card.

  • Safari will not display video content/flash etc on websites ie youtube etc

    I am running Panther 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6). When trying to access Youtube, Facebook etc Safari does not display video/animation etc and so Safari closes with an error. It will also not play video content on the Apple website. I would also like to know the following if someone could please help; What is the best software to upgrade to ie Tiger? etc ; What is the maximum memory upgrade for my machine and what would I ask for and best place to buy? Any assistance is much appreciated. Kind regards VJR1OK!!

    You may find some improved online performance with Panther 10.3.9 with
    the last supported Flash and Shockwave players installed (older ones have
    to be uninstalled) and though the use of Camino browser since it is up-to-date.
    There still will be some limitations; but if you have the correct Flash/Shockwave
    players for Panther installed and get Camino, and use it as a default replacement
    for that ancient Safari, that would make a difference. Also, it always makes sense
    to get more RAM in an older computer since they usually shipped with very little.
    In the case of older computers, often the capacity of the hard disk drive was also
    a matter of marginalization. A large enough drive to have plenty of free space in
    it, after applications and the OS X is installed, so the system can have room for
    temporary files and Virtual Memory, then it can run the last supported OS X ok.
    An externally enclosed bootable hard drive (FireWire enclosed unit) could be
    used to add space or a second system for use when at a desktop, so for the
    sake of discussion, the internal drive would not necessarily need replaced to
    check out a different operating system that may need more room in a drive.
    RAM is an easy fix; and a new browser from Camino.org - plus those players.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Page display:400 Bad HTTP request after implement WebDispatcher fo portal

    Dear all
       Our portal implement the WebDispatcher(7.0) to load balance for our
    portal system(include one CI and one Dialog instance,we use HTTP to
    load our portal request.).After that,some of the portal page display
    the information like this:
    400 Bad HTTP request
    Bad HTTP request
    Error: -21
    Version: 7000
    Component: HTTP_FILTER

    Error Tag:
    Detail: illegal request
    &copy; 2001-2005, SAP AG
    We logon the CI and the page all are right.So,some wrong with our
    WebDispatcher?Can you give us some advice?

    Hi,
    The answer from SAP:
    The maximum size of request URI is hard coded in kernel, and it cannot be configured by a parameter. The maximum size of PATH is 4096, and the maximum size of query string is 4096 as well.
    If the request is a post request, you have to ask the calling side to move some name value pairs from query string to the POST body.
    If it is a GET request, you have to ask the calling side to change it to POST and move value pairs to the POST body.
    Kind Regards

  • Best Practice? - Implementing different sap portals on the same hardware

    We have a very large intranet portal implementation today spanning multiple boxes with 30k+ users on it.
    A different business group is asking us to build a sap vendor portal system, but would like to know if we can run it on the same equipment.
    The intranet uses ldap where the vendor will authenticate/authorize against the database. Aside from this, other configurations will be different. My gut feel is that this is something we should not do (mixing both intranet and vendor systems on the same hardware with different config's).
    Is there a best practice document that outlines if this is something that should be done or avoided. Also, if you have run into this and have an answer, would appreciate the feedback.
    Thanks in advance for the assistance,
    Todd

    Hi Todd,
       Technically there isn't a reason you couldn't run both portals on the same hardware assuming it is sized properly. You could even use the same portal if you wanted to.
    The thing I would be concerned with is security.  I assume you have more stringent security requirements for external facing applications than internal applications like the need for additional firewalls and reverse proxies.  Usually if you pursue the security requirements you will find the need for separate portal hardware. 
    Hope this helps

  • On the box model the text indicating content, padding etc is white. It is completely illegible.

    When you inspect a element and go to the box model and hover/click on the different regions of the box model it shows what region the color indicates, for example content, padding,border etc. In Firefox 37.0.1 the text which show the name of the region is White, it is completely illegible and impossible to read. Why would you make the text white? Please revert the change.

    Try to see if there was an option that was changed in the tool:

  • Implementing Languages for Portal

    How do we handle the translations for the SAP R/3 data that is stored only in english in SAP R/3. I know that translations of the labels/headers that we create in a custom iview can be translated as they are static. But what is the mechanism ( other than configuring the language specific entries in SAP R/3) to translate the SAP R/3 content in different languages ?

    Yes, you can implement SSO to SAP GUI via LDAP authentication.. The kerberos module is used for this.
