Using OLAP Connection for SAP BW based on authentication type Prompt

We try to use an OLAP Connection based on authentication type Prompt. This should cause a dialog to popup where the user can enter credentials for SAP BW. This works fine for Analysis for OLAP, but not in Web Intelligence and Design Studio.
In design studio the following message appears:
failed to connect to "BA1CLNT100"
Configuration of destination
customized_guid:FnTHdVPWmQ4AMLQAAD4XL4cAAFBWmWVp is incomplete:
Parameter user id missing: neither user nor user alias nor sso ticket nor certificate is specified.
Does anyone know if this feature is supported and what causes this error?

Hi,
Can you check the option "Disallow insecure incoming RFC connections" from CMC >> SAP Authentication and see if it helps.

Any one used quick sizer for SAP MDM?

Any one used quick sizer for SAP MDM?

Hi Subin,
Quicksizer is SAP's online sizing tool.
The sizing process uses the web-based Quick Sizer tool, which calculates SAPS requirements based on throughput numbers, and the number of users working with the different SAP Business Suite components in a hardware and database independent format. You can find further information about the SAP sizing process at the following location
http://service.sap.com/sizing
After obtaining the results of a Quick Sizer project, work with the SAP Competency Center of your specific hardware vendor for sizing and architecture services as you would for physical environments.
For further details please go through this:

Hi,
Informatica has various ETL capabilities.
It can interact with pretty much all databases.
but to interact with SAP .. informatica has 2 special products
Powerconnect for SAP BW.
Powerconnect for SAP R/3.
These enable you to load/ extract data from SAP and also call API's which are exposed by SAP.
A BAPI is like a function module which can be called remotely.

Require TCode used by user for sap query created through SQ01

Hi All,
I have number of SAP Query in production that currently are used by different-2 user & created through SQ01
My question is how to know the TCode that used by user for SAP Query.
Thanks In Advance
Regards
San

Charlie
You did not get the question.
I knew the TCode of the query which I had created using tcode SQ01. user is using this query to see the report
Like I created query named 'order_line_details'. This query is basically to see the order & other details. To use this by user one TCode'zncv_ord_item' has been created.
So in the system lots of query are available. So i want to know the Tcode for those query that are using by user.
Thanks in advance

Disable login prompt for SAP NW based Xcelsius Dashboard

Hi all,
Need assistance to understand what needs to be done in the below case:
Current scenario:
1. Developed Xcelsius Dashboard based on SAP NW Connectivity on BO XI 3.1 SP2+.
2. Configured trust between SAP BW server and BO Server using steps outlined in integration kit(login/accept_sso2_ticket, etc).
Imported user roles in BOE and enabled SAP authentication.
After this, WEBI Reports based on Bex queries refresh in Infoview without prompting for Login id/Password.
3. Configured SAP Server to enable portal/interop switch to display the Xcelsius Dashboard within Infoview which is the existing BI portal. Used Hyperlink object for enabling the link.
In the hyperlink, I am using the same link which gets generated when I use the option Xcelsius 2008>>file menu>>SAP>>Launch
Issue: On click of Hyperlink, I get SAP EP Login window. Once I fill up the SAP user id and password, the dashboard comes up
Server Configuration:All on same domain
SAP system ID=X(SAP BW server)
SAP system id=Y(SAP EP Portal)
BOBJ system Z(BOBJ Server)
User roles stored in X. Entitlement system defined in Z for SAP BW Server X.
Dashboard is not available in SAP EP Portal in any folder as of now. Have not created any roles yet.
As per the various posts and KB articles,
Do I need to enable SNC for both X and Y? or trust between Infoview and SAP EP portal can be enabled without enabling SNC?
Just like SAP BW server, does the SAP EP portal also has *.cert files that can be used to exchange with BO Server to enable trust.
Thanks,
V Fernandes

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for your explanation. I was referring the configuration mentioned in the wiki article for displaying Xcelsius Dashboard in Infoview where this was explained as a possibility. Even though its not Lean.
Link: [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/IntegrationofanXcelsiusdashboardinBOE+Infoview]
The only difference in my case is the use of SAP Authentication instead of Enterprise.
Thus as per your last update the following workflow is only valid:
1. User logins to Infoview using SAP Authentication.
2. User clicks on Xcelsius Dashboard Hyperlink object.
3. SAP Enterprise Portal login pops up within the Infoview Workspace.
4. User has to fill in the Login credentials again.
5. Dashboard load up successfully.
Please correct me in case I am wrong.
Thanks for the response.In case there is any other way this can be achieved, then please do let me know. Appreciate for all the help.

V Fernandes

OLAP Connection failed - SAP BW to SAP BO 4.1

Hi everyone,
i want to connect our SAP BW system via BICS to SAP BO. Unfortunately it doesn t work and i don t know how to fix this.
I created and tested in IDT an OLAP Connection - everything is fine,everything works. Then i published it to the BO server and when i test it there i get the following message:
"Failed to get connections for connection [server.adress] using session locale [English]. Connect to SAP gateway failed Connection parameters: TYPE=A DEST=custom_Session-7:server.adress:user:EN:SAPBW7.0:CREDENTIALS ASHOST=server.adress SYSNR=00 PCS=1 LOCATION CPIC (TCP/IP) on local host with Unicode ERROR partner 'server.adress:3300' not reached TIME Tue Jan 13 RELEASE 720 COMPONENT NI (Network interface) Version 40 RC - 10 MODULE nixxi.cpp LINE 3286 Detail NipConnect2: server.adress:3300 SYSTEM CALL connect ERRNO 10060 ERRNO TEXT WSAETIMEDOUT: Connection timed out COUNTER 8.
Can anyone help here and give me a hint. I don t know where to start looking.
Thanks alot in advance for your help
Cheers
Christopher

Hi Victor,
to your points:
Can you ping the BW server from the BO server?
     what do you mean with "ping". i don t know how to do this in BO and i couldn t find this via google
In case of windows on the BO Server: Did you install SAP GUI and can you access BW?
     Yes SAP GUI is installed and i can access BW. I created there Multiproviders and queries which      i wanted to connect to bo. So from this side      everything is fine.
Are you trying with an application server or message server? (For a test try with app server and/or IP Address)
   i m trying with app server (with its ip Address)
Thank for your help
Cheers

Unable to create Business Foundation Layer in XI4 IDT using OLAP connection

Hi,
I have created a BICS connection against an SAP BW cube and want to use this connection in order to build a Business Layer in XI4 Information Design Tool. When I try to map this connection to the business layer, it errors out "Error occurred during connection selection - Connection is not supported".
I'm currently using BO XI4 SP1 and SAP BI NW Eh1 SP6.
Can anyone throw some light on how to create a Business Layer/Universe against an SAP BW cube?
Also, can we query ECC systems using the new semantic layer in XI4 from WebI?
Thanks in advance.
Abhi

Hi,
I'm getting the same error. Did you already solve the problem?
Kind regards,
Eric
Edit:
Hi,
i found this in another thread:
[Information Design Tool and SAP BICS|Information Design Tool and SAP BICS;
Seems like SAP doesn't want to enable Universes on OLAP-Connections?!

Xcelsius connection for SAP NetWeaver BI

Hi All,
We are trying to create a xcelsius dashboard with combination of live office and SAP BI connection. We are using SAP authentication in infoview. My question is regarding SSO.
As I understood that we cannot access this dashboard in Infoview and will have to create a URL objects in infoview for BEx Web Runtime URL and will have to enter login credential again for SAP BW.
Is there a way to create SSO so user does not have to enter login credential. This is the same system which is configured in infoview as default SAP system.
Best Regards,
Chetan

Universe Connections for SAP BEx

Hi All,
We are planning to build couple of Universes over SAP BEx query.
Could anyone inform if we should go for creating a single connection and use it for all Universes (or) Create multiple connections.
Does having different connections for different Universes(though Data Warehouse-BW) is same helps in increasing report performance?
Thank you.
- AK

Hi,
It all depends on your requirement. There are few ways.
You can create one super universe on the top of your BW Query and then create your reports using your super universe.
Or you can create multiple universes and then create your reports.
Basically one universe one connection. SAP Universes are different then other universes where you create one connection.
In SAP environment one universe one connection.
Hope it helps.

Bashir Awan

XCelsius :: Connections For SAP / QAWS not visible in toolbar.

I have installed BO Edge / SAP BO Integrator and Xcelcius 2008 in that order. I have also connected SAP systems with BO and have created universerse and Queries using QAWS.
But I cannot see buttons for SAP and QAWS on Xcelsius screen. Whats could be the reason. If it is because of the order installation (Integrator installed before Xcelsius) please can you suggest a way to make Xcelsius aware of Intergrator apart from uninstalling and installing back?
All help appreciated.

Hi,
you can use QaaWS as a connectivity option.

New OLAP connection for each BEx query?

Hi,
I am wondering whether it's really necessary to create for each BEx query a new OLAP connection in BO 4.0.
This is the BICS connection as far as I know. But this would result in a lot of OLAP connections...
Thanks!

One OLAP connection is enough for one BW system.
You can also dedicate a OLAP connection to one query if needed.
