Some valuable inputs required on SAP Netweaver connection in xcelsius

Hi Gurus,
i am going to create the dashboard on top of SAP Query in xcelsius. can someone share some best practices on that.
I have a requirement where the user should be prompted for the date and year variable.i need the help on variables as well.
i would really appreciate if someone could share some realtime experience on this connection.
Regards
Abid Paul

Hi,
Below are the step by step procedure:
    1. Place a input text control on the dashboard for user input for year variable.
     2. double click the control will open the property sheet.
       In this you set the "destination" property to a cell in the excel spread sheet.
       so when the user inputs the year in the input text it will be passed to excel cell.
For passing this year value to the query:
Open the data manager and add the sap netweaver Bi connection.
In the definition tab select the input variable and in the "read from " property select the same cell in excel which you set as a destination for the input text control.
You also need to set the trigger cell property as "When value Changes"under the usage tab to the same excel cell.
After these settings, when the user enters a year the query will run for that year and if he enters another year the query will rerun with the new value for the year.
This is a general procedure. if you have any specific requirement let me know.
Hope this helps.

System requirements for SAP Netweaver

Hi All
I would like to know the system requirements for SAP Netweaver installation on server.
Thanks in advance
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
Typically for EP it would be :
On Windows:
2 GR RAM,with 30-40GB HD,and with latest Windows SP`s and latest IE.
If the server is for Production incease the RAM accordingly.
For Portal RAM is very crucial,as SAPJ2EE Engine uses lot of RAM.
I hope this helps.
If yes,do award points.

Xcelsius with SAP netweaver connection extremely slow when executing

Hi everybody,
I am building a quite complex Xcelsius dashboard with multiple connections and many components with individual mappings.
My initial load time is now around 5 minutes (the netweaver portal loading icon) and the initialization is around 1 minute (the Xcelsius initialization icon). When I check the BI statistics using &profiling=x in the end of the URL I can see that the process "initialize item XC_DASHBOARD_ITEM_1" is causing 95% of the load time.
I read in the how to guide "how to.. build fast and efficient dash boards using the new netweaver BW integration in SAP BusinessObjects Xcelsius" that the swf should be cached on the SAP system when using SAP netweaver BI 7.0, EHP1, SP6 patch 40. I can see in our system that we are on 7.01 with SP6. However, I cannot see the patch level. The cache in the query monitor is turned on, but it seems like only queries are cached in here.
Does anyone know where I can check if the swf file is being cached on the SAP system? And do you know how to minimize the time spent on the process "initialize item XC_DASHBOARD_ITEM_1" on the JAVA and ABAP stack?
I know that I could probably remove many of my mappings and components in the dashboard to get better performance, but then I cannot build the dashboard as intended. By the way, most of my connections only retrieve data when the users are navigating, so only very few connections are refreshed before load and this is maximum 20-30 cells altogether.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Morten

Hi Morten,
YOu can observe the SWF caching in the HTTP trace ..along with the time stamp.
For patch you can check via the SDT as per note 937697.
Thanks,
Nandan

Some FTP servers require active mode for connection.

Is there any option for select active mode during FTP server connection in iweb ?

No, but go and Click on the Apple symbol on your Mac and then open System Preferences. Once is System Preferences go and open Network and then in the bottom right corner of Network click on Advanced and then click on Proxies and at the bottom of the Proxies page there is a setting called passive ftp mode that might be check by default. If it is, then try unchecking it and then uploading your site with iWeb ftp and seeing what happens.
If this does not work, then your other option of course is to publish your site to a local folder from iWeb and then use something like Cyberduck to upload your site.

Faisal,
Thanks for your response to my question. I have successfully installed VirtualDisk, however I CANCELED the "Create New Virtual Disk" setup at step 8 of your instructions because it states that you must select a size of more than 50GB. After installing VirtualDisk I only have 38GB of free space on my hard drive. System requirements for SAP NetWeaver 7.01 ABAP Trial Version states 25GB temporary for installation - 12GB permanent. Your instructions specify that an additional 3.5GB are needed for setup files bringing the total space to 28.5GB. Why are more than 50GB required?
If more than 50GB are required, then what are my options? (I have already removed unneeded software, files, etc., so I can't get more space on my existing hard drive.)
Thanks for your help!

Error # 2032 while opening SAP BI Query in Xcelsius using Direct connectivi

Hi Experts,
I have following set up -
Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP3
SAP BI EHP1 - SP5
Operating System - XP
SAP GUI 710.
I have two systems - 1. Internal IDES and 2. Client system
I open a Xcelsius and try to create a connection "SAP BW NetWeaver connection" in Xcelsius, I am prompted for login details.
1. When I give internal IDES system credentials, it logs me in and the queries are displayed and I can select any query without any error.
2. When I give client system credentials, it logs me in, and shows me the BW queries. Once I select any query, it gives me "Error # 2032"
RSPOR_T_PORTAL in SM30 is set properly as expected and explained in http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333333393330333733303333%7D.do
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?
Timely help would highly be appreciated!
Regards,
Rashmi

Hey there.
We've solved the problem on our test systems.
But we have got a special constellation. Our BW Portal is running on an other machine than the ABAP Stack.
Meaning, maybe it's not for all of you the solution.
But it was very simple in the end.
We've patched our System (ABAP and Java Stack) to SP6 (its now 7.01 SP6).
The reason was a missing rfc service that should have come with the SP5 patch. But it wasn't.
If the service is present could be tested with opening the following link:
http://<portalserver>/crossdomain.xml
Result shouldn't be the 404 page.
Please tell us if that was the solution for you, too.

How to connect SAP R/3- System with SAP NetWeaver Portal (2004s)?

Hello to all,
sorry, can someone help me? How can I connect SAP R/3- System with SAP NetWeaver Portal (2004s)?
Thanks and regards,
Galyna

Hi,
In previous link contain this info
This describes how to connect an SAP R/3 system to SAP NetWeaver Portal using an iView
1)      Go to System Administration
2)      Go to System Configuration
3)      Go to Portal Content (Right Side Panel), open that folder.
4)      Right Click on Portal Content, a Panel is displayed select "System (from Template)".
5)      That will display a new view on right side, now select "SAP system using dedicated application server" from
the existing templates. (Other templates are possible - for example, load balanced or through a SAProuter connection string).
For this exercise, we'll use the simplest type.
6)      Choose next
7)      Give the System Name and System Id (which are mandatory fields) incase you want to give any brief notes
about the system then give them in the "Description" field.
8)      Open the Newly Created System.
9)      Now when you want to create a New System, you have to fill four Properties they are:
"Connector" - contains basic connectivty details
"Internet transaction Server (ITS) - if you wish to use SAPGUI for HTML and/or IACs",
"Web Application Server" - if you wish to access BSPs and/or Web Dynpro for ABAP and
"User Management".
You also need at least one "System Alias" has to be defined from the Display drop down menu.
Make sure you have set end user access in the Permissions drop down menu to all users who need to access the system
10) Select "Connector" property, now fill the required fields such as:
a)      Application Host (should be fully qualified hostname) - Give the R/3 "Application Name",
which can be obtained from the SAP Logon Pad (check what R/3 system you are using, right click on it , go to the properties,
it will open a window which has the Application Server Name.
b)      Logical System Name - Give the logical name as defined in the backend system
c)      SAP Client - Check the Client in the backend system and give the appropriate number (3 digits)
d)      SAP System ID(SID)* - Check the R/3 properties and give the check for System ID
e)      System Type* - Since we are connecting to R/3, select SAP_R3 system.
f)       System Number - This is a two digit number that you can find in the SAP Logon Pad
11) Select "Internet transaction Server (ITS)" property, now fill the required fields like
a)      ITS Description à Give some Description
b)      ITS Host Name - Same as "Application Host" of R/3 (when integrated ITS) and should be attached with the
port number of ITS Server (to get port number detailed description is given below). ex: hostname : port number
c)      ITS Path - To get the path along with the port number you have to Log on to R/3 system. Use the
Transaction Code "SICF", it opens a new window go to:
      default_host -> sap -> bc -> gui -> sap -> its -> webgui -> SAP GUI for HTML -> right click on
that and click "Test Service'. This will open a new window, on the address bar you will find the "port number", and
the path something like (/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui). Use the path after the port number.
d)      ITS Protocol - There are two protocols "http" & "https", select the appropriate protocol which is
visible when you opened "Test Service" window.
12) Select "Web Application Server" property , now fill the required fields like
a)      Web AS Description -> Give some Description
b)      Web AS Host Name - same as ITS Host Name
c)      Web AS Path - usually /sap/bc/bsp/sapd)*
Web AS Protocol - should be same as the ITS Protocol.
13)   Select "User Management" property, now fill the required fields like
a)      Authentication Ticket Type - Since we are not using SSO leave the field
empty i.e. put in select mode. (Please note that longer term you will probably want to use SSO)
b)      Logon Method - Select UIDPW.
c)      User Mapping Type - In case you have administration rights then you choose "admin" or in case you
just have user rights then choose "user", better go for "admin/user".
14)   Since all the required fields are filled appropriately now create a System Alias name, this can be done by following steps:
a) go to Display -> Select "System Aliases" give some Alias Name, let's call it "SAP_R/3"
15) Now that System is created we have to create a iView which will display the given Transaction Code.
16) Go To "Content Administration".
17) Go To "Portal Content".
18) Go to Portal Content (Right Side Panel), open that folder
19) Right Click on Portal Content, a Panel is displayed select "New" -> iView
20) Select iView template, click next
21) Select "SAP Transaction iView" from the list of templates available. Click next.
22) Give the iView name and iView ID. Incase you want to give any brief notes about the iView then give it in "Description" field. Click next
23)   Select "SAP GUI for HTML" radio button. Click next
24) Now select the system which you have create "SAP_R/3", give some Transaction Code, say SE12 (Dictionary Display). Click next and Finish.
25) Now Preview the iView
26) You will see a new Window where in SE12 Dictionary Display window is displayed.

Senthil K.

Connecting SAP Netweaver ABAP Trial Version from 2 Laptops

Hi All,
I have a scenario where in I have installed SAP NetWeaver ABAP Trial 7.1 version on one Laptop. All the Presentation and application server are also installed on the same laptop and everything is working fine. Here NetWeaver is installed on Windows Vista.
Now, I would like to connect to SAP NetWeaver from another Laptop. In the other laptop i have Windows XP installed. I will install the SAP Front end and will supply all the application server details.
Is this approach proper or do i need to do something more to it?
It would be great if someone can provide some more information on this. I checked the Forum for this but as of now i couldn't find much resources or discussion on this.
Thanks and Regards,
Samantak.

Hi Martin,
yes. It's true the SAP is still a client Server Application, but is SAP NW AS ABAP Trial version also supports - multiple systems?
If yes how does it do this? What are all the configuration settings required?
I have checked the SAP GUI for the main laptop where my NW AS is installed and found that the application server is configured as localhost. If there is no proper address of the application server then how to connect it with the system from another laptop?
Hope you got my point. But thanks for answering.
Waiting to hear more from you soon
Thanks,
Samantak.

Error #2032 when using SAP NetWeaver BI Connection

Hi,
I'm trying to use to new SAP NetWeaver BI Connection in Xcelsius SP2, but when I try to connect to a BEx Query, I receive error #2032.
I have a crossdomain.xml file in the Tomcat root of the BO-server, and the Adobe Global Security Settings are also filled in with all directories of my BO-server.
Has someone an idea why this error occurs, and how to solve it?
I'm working on Sap NetWeaver 7.0.1 SP5.
Lieven

We are using in total 6 different clients with Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise SP2. With two of them we can use SAP NetWeaver BI Connection and do not receive any error. The rest is showing the error message #2032.
There is one difference between the systems which are working and the ones which are not:
After selecting the query in the BI NetWeaver Connection there is an additional popup "Windows security" appearing.
--> The server sapbw100.xxxx at BicsRemote/Config1 requires a username and password.
Filling in the username and password the data from the query appear in the xcelsius.
With the clients which provide an error there is no such popoup.
If we create on an existing installation an .xlf file and open it on one which is not working, the Data Managers show the correct connection. As soon as we click on refreshing data, error #2032 appears.
System configuration clients:
Windows XP and Windows 7
Office 2007
SAP Business Explorer Patch 1001
Regarding the working clients:
One is working on XP the other on Windows 7
Both on Xcelsius 5.2.0.0
Installing the FixPatch for SP2 is also not helping to solve the problem.
All the inputs in this thread have been tested but without sucess. Till now we could not install note 1380059 since related notes are not yet released.
