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.

Is GB 9.0.4 update today at App Store needed for all users, or just for Lion? Will it be in Software Update or is it paid update only? Please clarify

I sure hope you are correct, Christoph. Seems one Mac site has questioned this also:

No iWeb updates either way so far. Not that I use it, just an observation.

OIM11g R2 - If two roles (ACF2 and AD) are selected together for a user req

Hi ,
We are facing a problem In the Catalog, if two roles (ACF2 and AD) are selected together for a user and checking it out.The request goes to approval process.We have not created any approval process flow.
Plz let me know how to recover from it and provide an option to provision two roles simulaneously to a user without going into approval process.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a user in OIM .
2. Search that user.Administration->Users->Search User
3. Click on 'Roles' tab and select 'Request Role' under that tab.
4.'Catalog' tab opens .Click on Search icon and Add AD and ACF2 Role to the cart.
5. Click on 'Check out'
6. Click on Submit button
7. Request Summary tab opens with Request status shown as 'Obtaining Request Approval' and Request Type as 'Assign Roles'.
Note: If we assign AD and ACF2 individually to user and running Evaluate User Policies we are able to see account in Provisioned state under Accounts tab of User and request is not going to approval process
Thanks in advance

Hi,
As mentioned I created two auto approval policies
1. Request Type= Assign Roles
Level= Request Level
Auto Approval checked
Approval Rule=Requester.UserLogin Equals XELSYSADM
(Created this rule as i am logeed in as XELSYSADM)
2. Request Type= Assign Roles
Level= Operation Level
Auto Approval checked
All Scope Checked
Approval Rule=Request.RequestType Equals Assign Roles
After that i opened the user request role page and requested 2 roles (AD and ACF2).
But now also request went to approval work flow
Please point which step i have missed or any other step need to be performed.

Domain Users To be Given IPads thats will File Sync to a Windows Server in the Company DMZ. Are CALS needed for the ipads ?

Hi Guys.
We are thinking on giving some Sales Staff some IPADs to use. All these staff currently have USER CALS.
We are going to be using some software called MobileEcho to allow for browsing and File Syncing from a Windows Server in a DMZ. This Server itself maybe doing some LDAP queries to the LAN. Also some users maybe putting new content onto this Server
from the LAN. Are any seperate Device CALS needed for this Server ?
thanks

if the user is assigned a User CAL, no device CAL is needed.
That's the main reason why you would buy User CALs, where there is more than 1 device for each user (or more devices than users, in general)

License issue for EP users

Hi,
I created certain WD application based on Z- functional module like delivery report, outstanding, sales order .My data source is ECC. I mapped single ecc users to multiple ep users.
Now i want to provide the login facility to the n- numbers of ep users by keeping the ep server outside the firewall. But we have limited ecc user license.
So, wether it is necessary to buy the each and every ep users license who want to logon to the portal or by user mapping (by single ecc user),multiple ep users can logon to the portal?
Thanks,
Kundan

Hi Kundan,
If your system is ABAP + JAVA, then you don't need licence for EP user.
It will comes uder licence for your SAP backend System.

Changing the sequence of roles/groups for Portal users after Login

Hi
We are at EP 7.0 SP11.
We have developed custom role for ESS, MSS, EIC and Reports etc.
Now when all the 3 roles are assigned to any user, the sequence of the display is generally
Employee Self Service, Manager Self Service and then EIC.
We need to change this sequence in Dev QA and production environment for some users preferably (or for all portal users), so that the 1st page which loads in portal after user logs in , is not necessary ESS.
The requirement can also be considered as, we need to change the default page which displays after user logs in.
Does someone have any idea how can we achieve this ?
Looking forward for your response.
Thanks
Neha

Hi Neha,
Add custom Welcome page/Home page(eu_role) and Sort Priority property as per Koti Reddy.
Hope it helps

Special characters in SBWP dynamic columns are not showing for some users

Hi experts,
We have set up a dynamic columns for business workplace. One of the field displays the comments entered by the user. Some users are able to see the values entered perfectly. But for some users, if we enter special characters like @gopal, it is not displaying the value in dynamic column.
Are there any workflow/user settings need to be changed.
Thanks
Gopal

I had the same issue, you should check the link between AD and CRM, so you could make a new user in AD and connect your CRM account with it, then you should return the old AD account back. It worked for me, try it :)

Licensing concerns for end users of Interactive PDFs

The following is hypothetical...
My Company has bought and has licensed some Adobe Creative Suite software in order to use LiveCycle Designer to produce Interactive PDFs for use by any type of Customer - internal to the Company or external to the Company.
Once an Interactive PDF has been produced and then distributed out to the Customer, does the Customer need to have a license in place to use the PDF? Does the Company have to ensure the Customer has a License in place? Is the Company going against any particular License?
Sorry to be vague but I guess the bottom line is what and who needs to be Licensed in order to use and/or distribute Adobe Interactive PDFs?
Thanks,

If the forms are just going to be distributed, filled in by Reader and the results submitted as a web form would be, there are no limitations... that's part of the value of PDF and the Adobe Reader.
But if you take the form and reader-extend it with Acrobat Pro to allow local save of the filled-in form, there are licensing limitations. I recently covered this in another post, so I suggest looking there. If there are more questions, just post them to this thread.

Skills needed for Portal

Hi All,
        I am an ABAP consultant. I am trained in Web Dynpro ABAP.
        I have a working knowledge on creation of i-Views.
        What are the additional skills needed for maintaining a Enterprise Portal.
        Is Java knowledge needed for this. If yes please provide the topics that I need to understand in Java.
        Thank you all in advance.

Hello,
You will have to know the different components and what kind of configuration is possible out of the box within the enterprise portal i.e KM, Collab for example. Also general administration tasks - system creation, SSO federation. Getting into portals is easy being a good portal consultant is challenging to some since you would need to wholistic view of the landscape internet facing , intranet portal. Good to have also is a view of what portals other than SAP EP offer the same or better features.
Java is needed if you have to customize any existing component or if you want to build new components either in java or WD 4J
You may require muchmore than these but then as a starter you can install a portal on your local pc and explore the world
Good Luck!!!

HT4759 what are the limitations for PC users using iCloud?

I am considering iCloud for storing music, photos etc. Are there any significant limitations for PC users? Our family employs a mix of Apple and PC devices.

Of course, iCloud does a better job on Apple devices like iPhone, iPad and Mac, because it seamlessly works with the pre-installed apps like Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes etc., but you could also use some of the features on a PC. This guide shows you, how you could set up iCloud on a PC: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
On a PC you sync iCloud Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks via Outlook, snyc Bookmarks and Photos.
Some other Services like iWork apps (Numbers, Pages and Keynote) or Find My iPhone are missing, but accessible through the website www.icloud.com (new Chrome or Firefox needed)
By the way, iTunes is still needed for managing your music library.

Help in estimating number of dialogue steps for portal user scenarios

I am looking for your expert advice in determining the number of dialogue steps for SAP portal users in the following scenarios:
1) External users accessing a SAP portal to access utilities services such as viewing bills, paying bills, update meter readings etc. The system needs to support 6000 concurrent users.
2) Internal users (customer service agents) accessing IS-U, CRM (potentially BW) via an internal SAP portal. The system needs to support 2000 concurrent users. .
It would be extremely helpful to hear from anyone that has been involved in SAP portal implementations who could advise me on number of dialogue steps to use for each user scenario.
Many thanks,
Celia

What are licensing terms for PS in the Photographers LR+PS plan?

I know that with LR I can now, with a perpetual license, use it on two computers, including a Mac and PC.
I also believe that with PS I can only use it on EITHER a PC or Mac with my current perpetual CS 6 license.
What are the terms for PS if I subscribe to the Photographers CC plan? Can I use it on two computers? On both a PC and Mac?

Creative Cloud users can install on 2 computers -- Win/Mac or both.
Perpetual License is platform specific. Either Win or Mac but not both.
