ABAP user for portal

Dear Experts,
We have a BI 7.0 EH1 installation on a single server with 2 separate instances for ABAP and JAVA currently. All configurations are currently okay and we are able to deploy infoproviders, load data and view them on Bex.
Currently, we are unable to utilize ABAP users for any activity on the portal, be it administration or execution of Bex for queries. We are also unable to see the ABAP system in Java currently in the configuration settings. I would like to use the ABAP user for execution of queries. SSO is configured and we do not have any errors while executing the support desk tool.
Kindly provide any solutions pertaining to this issue.
Thanks & Regards
Suneeth

3.for the purpose of integration of r3,bw and crm on portal and crm 4.0 60.2.3 business package which option of stack(java or abap or both)will be good option and which ume option while installation should be choosen?
regards
Rajendra

Hi Rajendra,
The NetWeaver Installation Master Guide offers some good scenarios on the pros and cons:
https://websmp201.sapag.de/~sapidb/011000358700005412792005E.pdf
In a nutshell:
ABAP+JAVA
Pros
- Decrease # of servers required to administer the portal
- Less costly
Cons
- Upgrades could be dependent on ABAP and Java release level
- Additional load on the server due to ABAP stack
- Limited scalability
JAVA and ABAP on separate server
Pros
- Improved performance
- Allows each system to be single-use purpose therefore downtime does not affect other components
- More scalable
Cons
- Adds complexity to landscape
- Additional costs

ABAP SM02 for Portal (messages for users)

Hi,
how to implement functionality similar to transaction SM02 from ABAP ?
I mean showing up message(s) for users after they login in and those currently working (it is something more then broadcasting message for currently working users as was described in weblog Brodcast messages to logged on users in Portal(Part1)) .
regards,
Michal

Hello Michal,
well, you could for example modify the solution in the weblog mentioned in the way, that every user logged on to the portal only sees the message once per session. But i think, there is no way to show the user a popup without having any preliminary user action (i.e. clicking on anything) like it is in SAPGUI ... what other functionality do you think of ?

Abap+java abap-user and portal-role PROBLEM?? help

We have the ABAP+java add-on install.
The UME is by default ABAP engine.
From Portal:
1 I create a portal user, it ALWAYS creates ABAP user in ABAP engine.
2. I create a portal role, it creates a role in the Portal.
3. When I assign the user this portal role,
having worksets and pages,
I get no pages or worksets shown in the portal page as soon
user logs in.
Can you help configure this so that I could see the pages and iviews inside this workset when user logs in.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Mike,
You did right,
Just check the Entry Point Property of your iView, page and workset to YES
there are two radio buttons yes and no select the yes one,
you can see your pages afte rlogin with the new user.

Any Best Practices for developing custom ABAP reports for Portal?

Hello,
The developers on our project are debating the best way to develop custom reports and make them available on the portal. Of these options that we can think of, can you give any pros & cons, or experiences, or other options?
- Web-enabled Abap report programs
- WebDynpro for Abap
- WebDynpro for Abap using ALV
- Adobe forms
Does a "Best Practices" document or blog exist on this topic?
Thanks,
Colleen

Minimum seeded database users for portal

We would like to obtain the usernames of the minimum number of database
users that can be used for the portal to function.
In addition to the portal schema, we will be having a custom
schema in our database. So we would like to determine what
is the minimum number of database users that are needed for the system.
These would be:
1. Seeded users that come with the portal database
(Is there a list of minimum database users that we can obtain from some
documentation that are needed - are all the seeded users absolutely required,
or can some of them be deleted? )
2. The user for the custom schema. (this would be the only additional
user to the seeded users provided).
Thanks,
Suzanne

Suzanne,
Please refer to the Portal Configuration Guide.

You can use your ABAP system as the user data source in the portal system.

Bulk load of users for Portal

hi
We have an Oracle database which we use a third party payroll application on. This database contains employee info and looks to be the perfect for getting the details to create portal sign ons. We are running Portal 9.0.2.3 on AIX 5.1 and I would like to know - how do I do a bulkload into OID so that all our employees can have a sign on to our company Portal. I have seen the ldif file - but I cannot see how I can create one from raw data in a table.
Has anyone overcome this before??
thanks for any info!

You should look at the Oracle Internet Directory (OID) Administrator's manual - which has a whole Part dedicated to discussing the Oracle Directory Integration Platform.
What you are looking for is very similar to the connector for Oracle HR, which is discussed in Chapter 33.
However, it will not be the same, so some slight modifications will be necessary. You will basically devise your own connector. Please read this section and it should provide the info you need to accomplish it.
Oracle does this internally as well. There is a synchronization service that runs against a database-based "Profile" system that is used for Oracle Technology Network (OTN) accounts, and automatically provisions user accounts on my.oracle.com, using this Oracle Directory Integration Platform.
If you need specific help after reading up on the referenced information, you may want to post your questions to the OID forum.
Thanks

PI 7.1. Setup Abap user to access Java tools

Hi gurus!
I need your help, I'm working with a new PI instalation, and we have 2 types of user, one Java user with their password, and other ABAP user with their password. When I try to access to repository or directory, I must to use Java user, but in the other PI system, this is not so, I only use ABAP user for all things.
In this system, I need keep roles in abap stack and java stack, and think this is not optimal.
How I can synchronize the two types of users for only use the ABAP user to all things?
Thank you in advance.

How I can synchronize the two types of users for only use the ABAP user to all things?
Simple....assign the *_J2EE roles to your ABAP user....more information on the roles required can be taken from
http://www.erpgenie.com/sap/netweaver/xi/xiauthorizations.htm
We normally create only one user and then assign ABAP and JAVA roles to it.

Cannot copy or create new user in portal

Hi all,
I have tried to create new users in dual stack abap & java installation. However, j2ee_admin and sap* both display critical stop with message "An error has occured, contact your system administrator." Unfortunately, there is nothing more than this message in portal. I have used visual administrator from go.bat also but the result is the same with error:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sap.security.core.persistence.datasource.PersistenceException
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
Any clues!
Regards.

Hi Eduardo/Jo,
That's fine, I can see abap user in both visual administrator and portal's identity mgt area.
However, when attempted to logon with an super admin role abap user, the portal displays, user is locked... okay, go to portal with j2ee_admin and unlock this user... again login and message user is still locked.... Go to visual administrator the same user appears as locked. click the pencil button and try to unlock, visual admin displays message "unable to unlock user. details are available in status bar".
Following is the perhaps relevant part of the long error details.
Caused by: com.sap.security.core.persistence.datasource.PersistenceException: Attribute "islocked" on namespace "com.sap.security.core.usermanagement" of principal "UACC.R3_DATASOURCE.MOHAMMAD" is not modifiable.
So, all in all, portal cannot logon with super administrator becuase it appears locked in visual admin, cannot unlock this user in visual admin because of above error message.
Any clues, please.
Regards.

Abap+java stack for Portal 7.0 and MI - User Data Source

The SAP pre-requisites for Portal and MI (Mobile Infrastructure) 7.0 is an ABAP and Java Stack. If you install an AS ABAP + Java, the UME is automatically set up to use the ABAP user management of the same AS installation. What does this mean? The user store will be created in ABAP, for both the Portal and MI.
The impact of this is portal users management is in ABAP. This configuration by design cannot be connected to LDAP Active directory for user authentication.
Please let me know , if some body had already face similar issue and come up with the solution. Thanks in advance.

Are licenses needed for Portal Users?

Hi, do you need seperate user licenses for users created on the Portals Database (J2EE only) using the MSS and ESS components? We have an HR ECC5.0 system with 700 users, but only about 100 Managers will login to the Portal to do reports via the MSS component. I thought of creating these 100 managers on the Portal (Database Only), and then using Single Sign-On with SAP Logon Tickets connect them to the HR ABAP system where they also have the same user accounts, thus enabling them to do their work seemlessly. I don't want to use the ABAP User Persistence model, as I don't want the Portal UME to pull in all 700 users from the HR ABAP system when we only maintain 100 managers on the Portal for the MSS component. Will user licensing be an issues?

There is no need to license your Portal users. The ABAP license is all that is required. I would check with SAP just to make sure that your license agreement doesn't contradict this but I highly doubt that it will.

User Store for Portal

Hello,
We are implementing a new portal, and having trouble deciding on the user store for the portal.
Scenario:
u2022     The main functionality of the Portal is dependent on the SAP Systems (ESS\MSS), and BW System.
u2022     Currently there is no CUA or SAP Identity management Systems available.
u2022     The Usernames in our LDAP and SAP ECC systems are different, so we canu2019t use the LDAP.
From our preliminary brainstorming, we came up with following decision:
u2022     Use the ECC ABAP Store for user Base (So we leverage all the ECC users, and their current role assignments in the portal)
u2022     Later on, once weu2019re ready to install SAP IDM, and then Switch Portalu2019s User Store from ECC ABAP Store to IDM.
QUESTIONS:
1.     Is our approach here correct?
2.     Would it possible to switch portalu2019s user store from ECC ABAP Store to IDM?
3.     Should we consider installing CUA in the meantime until weu2019re ready to move to IDM?
Any Help or opinions would be much appreciatedu2026
Thanks,
Harman

Hi,
Q1 You wrote: " The Usernames in our LDAP and SAP ECC systems are different, so we canu2019t use the LDAP."
This is not 100% true... take a look at this help document as it explains some possibilities for you:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/0b/d82c4142aef623e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Q2 Not really, see Q1 and in addition IDM is a Management and Provisioning System/Tool. It isn't a userstore on itself.
In other words IDM contains the single truth but it provisions it to systems (JAVA , ABAP, LDAP etc).
So it won't be possible to connect your Portal from an ABAP user store to an IDM user store as it doens't exist.
What theoretically could be possible is to now connect you Portal to an ABAP user store and later Back to its own UME and let this UME be under provisioning by the IDM system. But I can remember that it is not supported to go back from ABAP to UME. See also: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/f5/8fdc3fca21eb06e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Q3 Personally I think it is a first good step as it helps you to centralize and uniform your users and roles. But If you already decided to go for IDM (lets say next year) then it maybe the Return On Investment for implementing CUA now is nihil.
Do not hesitate to ask if above answers are unclear.
Good Luck,
Benjamin
