Open document sso in XIR2

Hello,
I have query on configuring open document sso in XIR2.
We could configure open document sso on XIR3.1 from the SAP Notes available ,i.e by configuring Kerberos SSO as a prerequisite & changing web.xml file for open document.
Do we need to follow the same procedure for XIR2,We could not find any related documents on open document sso.
We have a Env still in XIR2 which is configured in NTLM.We need to configure open document sso for few clients.Do we need to shift to Kerberos? Can we configure open document sso with IIS?
Please let us know what are our possibilites?
Thanks

Hello from Spain!
i'm trying to configure a system with BOXI 3.1 and SSO with AD Kerberos.
The system is ok when I open infoview main screen and the user doesn't need to put its credentials. Tha's fine.
But, when I try to open a report with a openDocument url the system is asking me by user and password. I need to avoid this behaviour. Is it possible?
This is the url that I'm using: http://svdapp02:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sDocName=ace002
I have read something about change the web.xml file but I don't know how becasue I can't see an option in this file for Kerberos (I only see one tag for Vintela)
Please help
Thanks in advance

Problem with Open document SSO using websphere.

Hi All,
I have a issue,
We configured AD SSO using websphere and its working fine but when we try to login to the open document SSO using websphere it prompting for login credentials.
Is there any steps needed for configure open document SSO using websphere.
We made all the changes in web.xml file for the Open Document ,same as in Infoview web.xml file.
When we launch the Open Document, it prompts for the login screen, we get username and passwd fields we do not get the authentication drop down,if we give the AD credentials , we get "Enterprise Authentication error" .We feel the default authentication mode is taken as "Enterprise".
We have made changes in the web.xml for open document to have authentication.dafault as "secWinAD", also ,for test purpose we made the authentication. visible as "true" but the changes were not taken, we have redeployed the war files.
Any one please help on this.
Environment Details-
BOBJ XI R3.1 SP2
Web Sphere 6.1.0.25 .
Thank you in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Bill.

The same settings in the infoviewapp web.xml must be applied on the opendocument web.xml. Also you must be on XI 3.1 FP1 or higher. There is currently an Edge issue being investigated.

Linking a WEBI report through hyperlink in a webpage using open document

Hi All,
I have a hyper link in a web page which when clicked should open a WEBI report. I created it using the open document feature.
Once clicking on the link, InfoView login credential page is displayed. After logging in the report runs.
My client does not want the login page to be displayed since most of the users does not remember their password (since SSO is implemented).
He wants to bypass this login page so that most of the users can directly view the reports.
Question:
Is there a way to achieve this i.e without asking for login credentials or by passing this?
Possibilities :
1: To create ID's for all the people (which I think is not a feasible option in my project)
2: Create a guest account with minimum privileges and share the password with all the users.
Note:
1: I use BO XI R 3.1.
2: No SDK is installed to do any programming.
Any suggestion are most welcome.
Thanks in advance

Hi Shreyas,
Manual Easy Way for doing the activity in SAP Business Objects 4.0:
This method is useful if we have a special system account that we want everyone to use.
You will notice that all we do is generate a logon token using the appropriate username, password and CMS variables. Then we append the token onto ivsLogonToken.
Note: The numbers on the url after /BOE/portal represents the timestamp of the last patch or install. You can put whatever you want under the number section and Business Objects will automatically redirect to the appropriate start.do
Step I:
Go to the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoView directory and edit custom.jsp
Step II:
You can copy the contents from the custom.jsp that I’ve provided below to your custom.jsp.
Cutom.JSP File
<%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKException" %>
<%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.infostore.*" %>

IEnterpriseSession enterpriseSession;
/* * Set Enterprise Logon credentials. */
final String BO_CMS_NAME = "bi4server";
final String BO_AUTH_TYPE = "secEnterprise";
final String BO_USERNAME = "Daya";
final String BO_PASSWORD = "admin@123";
ILogonTokenMgr logonTokenMgr;
String defaultToken = "";

boolean loggedIn = true;
try {

enterpriseSession = CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr().logon(Daya,admin@123, BI4SERVER,Enterprise);
logonTokenMgr = enterpriseSession.getLogonTokenMgr();
defaultToken = logonTokenMgr.createWCAToken("", 20, 1);
//Redirect with token attached to the ivsLogonToken parameter
response.sendRedirect("http://"+BO_CMS_NAME+":8080/BOE/portal/1205291547/InfoView/logon/start.do?ivsLogonToken="+Encoder.encodeURL(defaultToken));

Edit the username,Password & BOBJ Server Name'in BOLD Letter
Step III:
Stop tomcat, then delete contents in the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\work directory.
Then start tomcat again and the work directory will be regenerated with new code.
Step IV:
Trusted Authentication:
Trusted Authentication is a component of Enterprise authentication that integrates with third-party single sign-on solutions, including Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS). Applications
that have established trust with the Central Management Server can use Trusted Authentication to allow users to log on without providing their passwords.
This method is really cool because users don’t even have to know their passwords. Basically with this method you can log into another system and if that system has the appropriate user name, you can pass it to the custom.jsp and then it will log you into BI Launchpad.
In addition, you don’t need to create any java code for the enterprise token setup.
Step V:
In the CMC, go to Authentication, then select Enterprise. Check Trusted Authentication is enabled, then click on New Shared Secret. Finally download the shared secret key and keep it somewhere secure
Step VI:
Copy global.properties from <INSTALLDIR>\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\warfiles\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\config\default into <INSTALLDIR>\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\warfiles\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\config\custom. Then using Notepad or another text editing utility, edit the following properties
sso.enabled=true
trusted.auth.user.retrieval=WEB_SESSION
trusted.auth.user.param=UserName
trusted.auth.shared.secret=<secret code from properties file you created in step 2>
Step VII:
Go to the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins\webpath.InfoView directory and edit custom.jsp
<\!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

</script>

Edit the username(Daya) variable
Step VIII:
Stop tomcat, then delete contents in the SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\work directory.
Then start tomcat again and the work directory will be regenerated with new code.

Open document using QAWS Xcelcius.

Hi All,
The OpenDocument link is for an object with QAAWS and Xcelsius and when we hit on the link it pops out with error "The session has been logged off or has expired. (FWM 01002) ".
The work aroud is that we need to login to infoview first and then open the link it works fine.
We are using Open doc SSO using ( Vintela SSO )in XI3.1which is working fine.
When i gone through the knowledge base i could see that there is a know issue with Xcelsius using SSO and it got resloved in SP2 so will this gonig to effect my open document link.
Thanks for understanding..

I've had opendocument SSO working fine with vintela since 3.1, but I haven't tested every scenario. It could be a bug, I'll look up the adapt tomorrow to see the details.
As far as I knew this function was working fine for quite a few of our customers. I set it up my self for several.
EDIT: I looked at the adapt and apparently is was an xcelsius bug only not actually with opendocument. It is set to be fixed in SP2 and another patch for xcelsius clients only

Open document issue using Xcelsius WIH 00013

All,
I have Open Document that behaves correctly when I copy and paste it into address bar of a browser. It also works fine when I try to connect from one Webi report to another (so far so good). But when I use the link in Xcelsius, via a URL component, I get the following message:
Invalid Session: Please close your browser and logon again. (WIH 00013)
Previous posts on forumtopics.com suggests that this is a Tomcat time out issue. However, other open document calls from other Xcelsius dashboards with open document work without issue. Has anyone seen this before? I have included the hyperlink text. Please note long prompt text is courtesy of a BEx query in BW .

Hello George,
No, it has never worked.
For testing I installed Office 2010 and this worked fine.
But as I said, all versions had been deinstalled before reinstalling Office 2013 (even cleaned up with the FixIt-Tool).

How to Change URL of BPA after clicking on Open Document in PO Notification for India Localization?

In the Purchase Order Approval workflow notification , there are two links at the bottom of page under heading REFERENCES,
- view PDF
- open document
So when we click on open document, the Oracle Forms loads and purchase order screen will appear in the screen.
In case of India localization, for standard PO the India local screen opens, where we can see the taxes by clicking on Taxes Button.
But in case of blanket purchase agreements, when we click on open document link from the notification,we are routed to the application with the screen of global purchase order, instead it
should go to Purchase Orders(Localization).
We want to move to the India local po screen for BPA.
So please let me know, where I can change the URL for Blanket Purchase Agreements.

Can anyboday advise how to perform this. Points will be awarded.

How to clear vendor open documents

How to clear vendor open documents, I had previously tried to clear the documents in PRD with transaction F-44 and I get the following message.
X. Ex.rate diff.accts are incomplete for account 00015080 currency CAD

You can clear using the t code F-44 which is manual or by using F.13 which is automatic.
The error you are getting is with refernce to a transaction between your Local currency and Currency "CAD"
Maintain a transalation ratio and the exchange rate. Here the system also looks for a exchange loss or gain on such conversion also. Map those accounts and you will be clearing the transaction.
If you are using automacti clearing you need to decide on the link(Common feild) between the DR open item and CR open item and these open items after having this as a refernce can be cleared automatcially in F.13.
Hope you understood.
Reward points if useful.

Sales document report for all open documents

hi i need the code for sales document report for all open documents is sd
... can anyone help me out.
thanks in advance

Try transaction VA05. In that choose "Open Orders" along with other selection criteria.
If you want the Open sales order qty in output and its not displayed, do the following.
Sales -> System modification -> create new fields ( without condition technique) -> New fields for lists.
You can change V05TZZMO and structure VBMTVZ from there or use SE38 / SE11.
For both you'll need an object registration in OSS.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Open documents and year end closing.

Hi experts,
I would like to know if it is necessary to close all open documents before we start the year end process.
Since practically it is not possible to close all open documents.
here open documents refer to Purchase orders, GRPO's, Sales orders, deliveries etc.
kindly suggest.

hi ajith,
Purchase orders,sales order won't have any impact on accouting which will only
effect ordered,committed quantities.
GRPO can be kept open in case when there is orginal bill is yet to be sent by vendor.
Production orders which are open(ie) production completed - should be closed atleast
before year end so that it can't avoid unnessary WIP variance posted in next fiscal year,
because production orders will post JE's only on Actual Closing Date.

Open document opens new Window in IE which is in front, then back, front

Hello we have here the following Situation.
We have a big XI 3.1 Business Objects Platform running.
Also we have in our company net a portal in which the users can open reports from our BO platform.
This is done by usercustomized open document urls.
That al works fine.
Thing is, when a user requests the report, the Internet Explorer opens a new window which is blank. The Window can be seen for a second. Then the new window goes to the background behind the current window. After several seconds when in the new window the report starts to regenerate itself the window goes back to the front and the report is displayed.
And that behaviour confuses our user quite a lot.
The behaviour can be seen in IE 6 and 8. Firefox does not show this behavior.
IE9 wasn't tested.
So, does anyone know if there is an IE setting, or part of the Open document url which can change the behavior so that the new indow just apears and then stay apeared?
Changing the browser to firefox or IE9 is not an option because we are talking about 30k pc-clients.

Here is an example URL. I have made the servername and parameters in italics.
Im not responsible for the deployment of the war files. But it was seen that after the update of the SP3 old opendoc syntax caused problems in other opendoc calls and was changed. So I assume that the war was deployed.
https://*serverurl*/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?token=*servername:port*@*something-something*&sWindow=New&reportType=FullClient&ls*Parameter1*=*parameterstring*;&iDocID=*IdocID of the Report*&sWindow=Same
Actually after seeing the opendoc-string im surprised of the double use of the &sWindow parameter.
