Assigning System Alias to an iView

Hi all
I have a System "mySystem" and alias as "myAlias".
How do i assign my Alias (myAlais) to an iView(salesOrder) ???
Thanks
Kay

if this is a custom iview, you can create a propertie in the "portalapp.xml"
<components>
    <component name="myIview">
      <component-config>
      </component-config>
      <component-profile>
        <property name="systemAlias" value="myAlias"/>
then in the code for the IView, you can ask for the alias
systemAlias = aRequest.getComponentContext()
             .getProfile().getProperty("systemAlias");
and use it to get a connection using JCA
This allows to set a default alias, and later to change it in the properties of the iview.

Different System Alias in one iView

Hi all,
I have an ESS/MSS Szenario based on EP7 SP13 and HCM (ECC 6). I have setup the business package and all is working fine. I have setup the different System Aliases like SAP_R3_HumanResources and SAP_R3_HumanResources_Meta etc. and I have a working Single Sign On between my Portal and the HCM system.
I now face the challenge to change one link within the working time iView to point to a different system than all the others!
Let me explain: I have a second ERP 6 system that provides for the actual working time Web Dynpro and this Dynpro is not provided by the HCM system. I think I need to change the target for this one Dynpro to point to the ERP instead of the HCM system while all the other links in the working time iView still have to point to the HCM system!
I have no idea whatsoever, how to do this. I checked the PCD but I can't seem to find the right place where to adapt the System Alias for an iView at all. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Kind regards,
Christian

No you're not
In fact you lack the System and System alias that point to you're new ERP 6.
Here a link with a demo that explain how to create the system and define its alias : [demo|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/24d8faf9-0701-0010-c99c-aabbdb7e95f4] .
Informations needed are the same you can find in a saplogon for the system you want to connect to.
Once you'll have defined system and alias you'll see it in you're listbox!
Anyway you'll still face the last problem : you can't define multiple system alias for the same iView.
Hope that helps!!

May EP(MSS, ESS) use only a single universal system alias?

I notice that SAP tends to use different aliases such as SAP_ITS_XSS, SAP_ITS_MSS, SAP_ECC_TrainingManagment, etc
for different iViews.
Is that possible to use only a single universal alias for all purposes?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Linda,
Yes, It is possible. If you think that your backend data coming from only one backend system, then you can create you custom system Landscape and but you need to manually assign system onject in all ivews(System parameter in Iview object) in ESS business content in portal content.
It is better to create SAP_ITS_XSS, SAP_ITS_MSS, SAP_ECC_TrainingManagment in system landscape if you are one or multiple backend system, then you don't need to manually update system object in iviews.
Hope it helps

Assigning system to package

Hi all,
I have imported MSS package in my EP6.0 system.
I have created one system using dedicated server template for R3. Created alias and done user mapping. In system test connection I am able to connect to the system.
The problem is when I open the My staff page it says could not connect to R3 system. The error says could not connect to sap system SAP_r3_humanresources. This is not the alias that I have created. I have created STB as the alias I want to use.
How do I assign this system to the package.
Please guide me.
Thanks and regards,
Afroz

Hi Afroz
the u can't find any iview for ESS which has assigned system SAP_R3_HumanResource
but look at ur JCO connection for webdynpro application.
SAP_R3_HumanResource is the name for JCO connection which is used for SAP_R3_HumanResource application data
there other JCO connection for Application data.
SAP_R3_Financials
SAP_R3_Travel
so u have to define this as alias for system for using Travel management from ESS.

Connection tab is inactive during the creation of system alias in portal

When we trying to implement the note 1249323, during the creation of
system alias in portal (Step B in SRM 7.0), the connection tab is
inactive to fill the information (EP-PCT-SRM).
Please can anybody give a solution to this problem so that we can finish our
implementation of the note.
Thanks and regards
Mahesh

If you are referring to the property "Collection" of the system object - I don't think you can edit it. It is not used at runtime by the applications/iviews.
That should have been a mistake in the SAP note and you can ignore that property and go ahead with creating your system.
Thanks,
Shanti

System alias does not work if not the same as logical system name?

In most of the situations, we define the portal system alias same as the connected R/3 client logical system name.
I also saw some exceptions that system aliases were defined differently from the connected R/3 client logical systems, and they were tested fine.
However I forget the way to make that working.
Could you help me recall how is that achieved?
Thanks!

Hi,
There is nothing tricky here. Just assign more System Aliases to the system connector !

How to retrieve the system used in an iview?

hello,
i'm currently having trouble retrieving the proper attribute of an iview to retrieve the system used by it.
it seem like the strings identifying the system in the iview differ in some iviews.
using either:
myIView.getAttribute(IAttriView.PORTAL_SYSTEM)
or
myContext.getAttributes("").get("System").get().toString()
produce errors.
while get("System") sometimes provides the correct system alias the attribute is none existant for other iviews where the string would be "Systemalias".
IAttriView.PORTAL_SYSTEM doesn't seem to work at all.
i did implement fail safe code if the attribute isn't present, however i don't know how to retrieve the system attribute without doing a case switch or something similar for all the different strings, which i would prefer not to do.
also, is there an easy way to retrieve all iviews which use a specific system without parsing the whole pcd and checking the attributes?

Prerequisite : Create the System Alias for the systems used in the application.
Use the below code to retrieve the system details:
        HashMap mapattr = new HashMap();
        HashMap map = new HashMap();
        IUser user = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getSAPUser();
        IPrincipal principal = (IPrincipal)user;
        ArrayList list = UMFactory.getSystemLandscapeWrappers();
        ISystemLandscapeWrapper systemLandscape = (ISystemLandscapeWrapper)list.get(0);
        //Portal System ALias name
        ISystemLandscapeObject landScapeObject = systemLandscape.getSystemByAlias("<system alias name>");
        IUserMappingData userMapping = (IUserMappingData) UMFactory.getUserMapping().getUserMappingData(landScapeObject,principal);
        userMapping.enrich(map);
        mappedUserId = map.get("user").toString(); // String "UserId"
        mappedPassword = map.get("mappedpassword").toString(); //String "Password"
     catch(Exception e)
          e.printStackTrace();
          wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Exception during retrieving the User Details - " + e.getMessage(),true);

Hi Jelbin,
Following is the solution of this error,
Step 1: Check the system alias in application which you are opening and maintain same in system object also, or take system object default system alias and maintain it in iView property named as "System", either of above is valid.
Step 2: Add every One group to the system object with end user ticked.
Step 3: Logoff and login again it should work,
Kindly reply if this works.

Bhavin Anajwala

WDA: Check if PCD path or system alias exists?

Hello Portal Experts,
How can I check if the PCD path or the system alias exists?
I like to check the PCD in my Web Dynpro for ABAP application, to prevent calling the portal navigation in case the system alias does not exist.
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards
Axel

Hi Axel,
System Alias is must when you create Webdynpro ABAP iview .
Please have a look at below link, it may help you ,

EP6 SP2 Jco / System Alias Question

Hi all,
I'm developing a number of Iviews on an EP6 SP2 system connected to a 4.6C box. I have two problems that I'd be grateful for some help with.
1) How do I make use of the System Aliases set up in the portal via Jco ?
I know I can use the direct connection
JCO.createClient("001", // SAP client
          "<userid>", // userid
          "****", // password
             "EN", // language
                "<hostname>", //
          "00"); // system number
but it would be much easier if I could use the configured System Alias called "UKSAP" which has been set-up in each Portal box.
2) I believe that EP6 SP2 will not require connection pooling in the jco code. Is this correct ?
Cheers
Richard

Hi,
We are trying to do pretty much the same thing you are, I am trying to get my Java iview to use the System Alias to connect to an R/3 JCO destination.
Could you elaborate on your findings in this regard. I am currently getting the following error : "Target for system alias SAP_R3_HumanResources not found in system landscape"
I have entered the connection info for this target into the jcoDestinations.xml and I've created a system in the portal with the alias SAP_R3_HumanResources...
Thanks in advance,
Mukta Pathak

How to test System Alias

Hello,
How can I test a R3 system alias?
- System Landscape Cockpit did not bring any results.
- Support Desk >> SAP application requires transaction.
Is there an easier way?
Regards,
AAAttar

Thanks Senthil for the details,
We are on EP6 SP2 at this point. Standalone (DEV) portal installation, and SAP Dedicated system (not Load-Balanced, ie No message server). I've create a test system to SAP_BW, with WAS info. When I tried to test the system in Landscape Cockpit, (selected the test SAP_BW system and JCO) I got NO results. I hope I'm not missing a thing.
Few hours later, I created SAP role trasfer iview for testing, and this is what I got for this SAP_BW Alias:
[The installed version of the portal plug-in must be 6.0 or higher], pretty obvious!
For the other system I got, [Connect to SAP gateway failed Connect_PM GWHOST=http://FQN.com:3200, GWSERV=sapgw00, ASHOST=http://FQN.com:3200, SYSNR=00 LOCATION    CPIC (TCP/IP) on local host ERROR       hostname 'http://FQN.com:3200' unknown TIME        Sat Dec 4 17:03:39 2004 RELEASE     620 COMPONENT   NI (network interface) VERSION     36 RC          -2 MODULE      nixxi_r_mt.c LINE        2225 DETAIL      NiIHostToAddr COUNTER     6]

About System alias for system object

Can any one tell me exact need for system alias for system object when we are integrating SAP TCODES

The main use of System alias is to identify the uniqueness of the systems that exist in the portal
also it is very easy to transport TCode iviews from one landscape to other if you have same system alias exist in all the landscapes

System and System Alias Creation

Hi all,
we have developed iViews in EP5. Now we want to migrate all our iViews to Ep6.. we have problem in EP6 for system and system alias creation..
in EP5 we have 2 files called System.xml for defining the system and JCODestination.xml..
after creating systems in System.xml.. we will define all system properties in like router string ,client no,and system number for each sap system in JCODestination.xml ..
and these systems we will map to the user in which will come all the defined Systems to combo box
and we will define the systems in default.properties file and we will use in the par development...
I heared that there are no System.xml and JCODestination.xml files in EP6 Netweaver Component....
can you please any one advise me how to get configured System and System Alias in EP6 NetWever... and how to call in coding...
I need a detailed steps how to create SAP System Alias.. since i am connecting to SAP System and Calling Function Modules and BAPIS From My Application(iViews).....
I need a Detailed Explaination Step by Step Explanation ..
your help will be required for me.. and appreciated to the great extent......
Thanks and Regards
Prasad.Y

After following the steps above in system landscape
please do the following to fill in the parameters
Select connector under the property category.
PlZ make sure that you have provided ApplicationHost(the host name of backend system), LogicalSystemName(can be found from transaction scc4,just dounle click on the client to see the logical name use saplogon and logon to the backend system R3 in this case) ,SAP Client(can be found from transaction code scc4), SAP SystenID,SAP System Number and Server port.
After that create a System Alias for that system by selecting System Aliases under display.( This is important. I had the same kind of problem this should slove it).
Now make sure that you have user mapping set for the backend R3 System(User Administration-->User Maping search for the user and choose edit. Then choose the system alias name form the drop down box and provide the login details for the backend system).
Try to test the connection by selecting connection tests under display. If it doesnot work plz copy paste the whole error message.
The message should look something like the one below
Test Connection with Connector - Jan 1, 1970 2:35:42 PM
Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Retrieve the default alias of the system
2. Check the connection to the backend application using the connector defined in this system object
Results
Retrieval of default alias successful
Connection successful
Let me know if you need any more details
