Accessing SAP via a WebGUI

We shall be teaching a SAP-related course to the students who are registered for a Masters degree by u2018distance learningu2019. In other words, these students do not actually visit the University classrooms but they get their course material on-line, instead.  Does any University in the UK or elsewhere use a Web based SAPGUI for some of their students (such as our distance-learning students) and, if so, do you have any problems with this mode of access?
Your reply will be highly appreciated!

Hello, I am not sure if you will find my comment a relevant one, but I will give it a try.
I am working on a project, where the melting pot of everything is the ERP system, but since it is for the government/ public sector, and there will be plenty of users without any previous SAP skills we present everything through portal (and hope it will help them to accept it). There are some problems about it:
- look and feel of the portal/ webGUI is very different
- the navigation and some of the features change a lot or are limited
>>> so I am not sure how do you expect the students to learn anything useful for a core-ERP/CRM (any other system) since it differs a lot. If they would work with ERP through SAP GUI then most of the experience will be useless. and I hope you´re not going to ask the students to develop anything through the webgui? I am not even sure that would be possible.
Maybe it is your intention to limit the students this way. But if not, why don´t you create a VPN, do not let them access the ERP system through VPN and let them use the SAP GUI?
Regards Otto
p.s.: if I didn´t have your intentions, please clarify a little, and I can help some more...

  • NW Business Client and accessing SAP services via web pages

    Hi all,
    We currently use Business Connector to access our SAP environment via web pages. We looked at NW eSOA but decided against implementing it. Does Business Client offer anything that helps access SAP apps and data from a custom web site better the Business Connector?
    Thanks in advance,
    Tom

    Tom
    I am assuming you are using SAP Business Connector in your landscape to connect to back end SAP systems from  your web applications. Your question now is that if business client can let you access SAP data for your web pages instead of the business connector. Point to not here is that Business client, as the name implies, is just a client with single point of access for SAP screens. That means, you can access traditional SAP transactions, WebDynpro screens, BSP pages, Portal screens etc in one single client. In very raw terms, Business client acts (or replaces) as your browser. It is not going to provide you any out of the box integration with backend system rather just act as a window. You options at this point are
    1) Use your existing webpages but instead of getting data from the backend system through business connector, get the data using webservices.
    2) Use PI as middleware tool and get the data from backend SAP system
    3) Stay were you are but deal with high cost of ownership.
    Thanks

  • Create external LDAP authentification to SAP via Web Dynpro

    Hi Guys,
    I have a requirement where I have to create access to SAP via external LDAP authentification. It is similiar how the Enterprise Portal works, but I want to achieve it with out the portal.
    The user will enter his LDAP user and password and I will check via LDAP connector to grant access to SAP.
    The only Problem I have is to switch to SAP user without knowing the SAP Password. Thats why I need external authentification.
    I have been told by an basis expert that I could use java to achieve this. I have also got the java coding what the Enterprise Portal uses.
    Am I on the right way? Can anybody advice me.
    Thanks and best regards

  • Accessing SAP BW from a Third party reporting Tool.

    Hi,
    We are trying to acess SAP BW using a third party tool for reporting purpose.
    We need a url to access SAP BW (something like http://host:13080/sap/bw/xml/soap/xmla
    SAP BW should have fully functional Web services interface (XMLA Standard  protocols)).
    Presently our SAP BW has only ABAP Stack installed and no Java Stack.
    To get a URL as mentioned above do we need a Java Stack to be installed?
    I am not a SAP developer and hence need a confirmation on the above question.
    Some documentation associated would also be usefull.
    Thanks and regards

    Thanks for the response
    May be you are telling abt SAP GUI
    the url for it is like
    http://<fully_qualified_hostname>:<http_port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui/!
    But I need to use that URL to connect to SAP BW which needs some XMLA protocol.
    Any suggestions on same..
    Thanks and regards

  • SSO to SAP via SAP Logon Group

    Hi,
    I've tried to configure SSO to SAP via SAP logon group. When trying this I'll get the following error:

    Is there anything I'll have to configure too? Or what does this error mean? The server which I have tried to reach is a message server.
    Thanks in advice.
    Claudia

    HI Ingo,
    yes I can connect with SAP GUI via message server and application server. I can also connect with BO via sso to the application server. Only the message server failed.
    I have now found out that I had the wrong port. But also the right port doesn't work. I have tested the port with telnet. The port is reachable.
    Thanks

  • Unable to clear the invoice/credit in SAP via T-Code F-04

    Hello Guys,
    Unable to clear the invoice/credit in SAP via  T-Code F-04.
    While I proceed to Clear the cutomer open item i am getting below error.
    " The Entry GB XX Is Missing in Table T059Q".
    Kindly suggest what needs to be done to overcome with this message.
    Thanks and regards,
    Hemanth.

    Hi Hemanth,,
    Hope you are using Classic WHT for your company code in country GB.
    And the Classic WHT tcode XX was maintained in customer master data, but the same code would have been deleted from the system. Since these line items to be cleared also, stored that tax code only. So you are getting this erro in F-04.
    So you need to create the above said tax code in OBA7 and then you will be able to clear the customer line items with F-04.

  • Problem accessing mail via Safari browser

    How do I access iCloud Mail via my Safari browser on my iPhone? If I go to iCloud.com it just offers me the option to install it on my phone.
    The problem is, I already have it installed on my phone and it works fine EXCEPT at my new job - the wifi is not very good and I can access internet/Facebook etc but every time I try and load email it always says it 'cannot find the server .' I therefore tried to access email via safari browser - my other email provider works fine that waybut iCloud doesn't even give me the option to login, just keeps suggesting I install it.
    Any ideas how I can check iCloud email at work? Can't do it on work computers, site is blocked....and there is no 3G/4G signal.
    Thanks for any advice!

    According to http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2618 you should be able to access it via a browser by going to https://www.icloud.com/#mail

  • I would like to free up some space on my computer and move my iphoto library to the time capsule and easily access it. Also, would I be able to access them via the TC if I purchased a new computer?

    I am using my TC as an external hard drive, I would like to remove my photos from my computer to free up space. I'm wondering:
    1. Once the photos are moved, how do I access them via the TC, AND will i still be able to print them and see them the way they were set up in my iphoto on the computer?
    2. If I purchase a new computer, will I still be able to access them just as easily?
    3. What is the process to move the photos to the TC?
    I am afraid that if I "erase" them from my computer I will not be able to access them.

    Are you still using iphoto?
    If so you should NOT move the iphoto library to the TC and use it.
    Apple says you will corrupt the library doing this.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
    Although mostly about FAT32  it adds network drives.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
    Now what I cannot tell you is if the same rules apply to the new photo app. Apple might have fixed the problem.
    For iphoto you should offload the photos to USB drive plugged into your computer.. or any external drive.. the faster the interface the better.
    Apple have explicit instructions for moving the library.

  • Can no longer access Facebook via Safari on iPhone

    Ever since I loaded IOS 6 onto my iPhone 4, I cannot get to Facebook via Safari...it automatically reverts to the fb app. Even if I put www.facebook.com into the browser. I still access fb via Safari on my ipad (new ipad). This is important as I have low vision and the font is too small on the app.

    I have the problem after upgrading my iPad to iOS 6.
    It started with the app store, then facebook app and finally can't access to any apple.com page.
    Already restore the iPad and now I can access to app store. Still working to get back my access to facebook.
    If anyone has an idea about this?

  • Static NAT causes unable to access server via internal IP

    Hi all,
    Need some help. I running site-to-site IPsec VPN in Cisco 2811 IOS 12.4 both site. Here I encounter a problem to access server on  Site A from Site B
    Site A having Leased Line connected to router with Public IP. I have done static mapping 1 web server to Public IP (NAT). This to allow external users to access the server via Public IP. At the same time, users at Site B would need to access to same server via Internal IP since they have Site-to-Site VPN established. But once I done Static Mapping (NAT), user at Site B unable to access the server at Site A using its internal IP. But external user can access server via Public IP. What went wrong here. Do i need to add extra command to get this done? We really need this.

    Hi sheik,
    I'm accessing the server form Site B using its server's LAN IP.
    If I remove the static NAT statement from my router at Site A, everything works well. I can access the server from site B using its LAN IP via Site-to-Site VPN. But in this case, external users unable to access server via Public IP since no Static NAT statement.
