Availability of Netweaver Portal 7.2

Hello,
as far as I know is Netweaver Portal 7.2. in the ramp up. Does someone knows when it will be available for all users?
Thx, Vanessa

Dear Vanessa.
You have a wrong information. According to the SAP Release Strategy for Large Enterprises, status February 2010 (http://service.sap.com/releasestrategy) the next major release of NetWeaver and Portal as its component will be numbered 7.3 and planned to the restricted shipment (Ramp-up) somewhere in the second half of 2010.
Also you may refer to Portal bases on Netweaver 7.2 or Netweaver 7.0 EHP2.

ECC EHP5 upgrade:is i mandatory to upgrade netweaver portal & BI systems

Hi Gurus,
Currently we are having landscape of :
1.SAP ECC6.0 SP stack at 17
2.Netweaver Portal 7.0 SP stack at 17
3.Netweaver BI 7.0 SP stack at 12
Currently, viewing BI reports using Portal.
We are planning to upgrade our ECC 6.0 system only to EHP5
My questions are:
1. Is it mandatory to upgrade netweaver portal and BI systems also.
2. We are very less dependent on BI. So, can we continue with the same old BI system with ECC6.0 upgraded to EHP5?
Please shed some light on this.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Balaji Nampally

There is no any specific details available for the same.. But it seems some BPs need to be upgrade on portals side..

Single Sign-On Netweaver Portal with Cornerstone On Demand

Hi
Does someone experiences with Single Sign-On between SAP Netweaver Portal and the Learning Management System of Cornerstone On Demand?
The options are:
- SAML: but at this moment we don't have SAML provider. Is it easy to use this with Netweaver 7.01 SP6 ?
- standard SSO : encrypted string between SAP portal and LMS: client sends encrypted string with userid...based on encryption algorithm.: Has someone developed this (java code) for SSO to an other system?
But can they use Sap Login Tickets?
Best regards
Luc

Hi,
I just recently implemented SSO between SAP system and on demand solution from 3rd party provider. We didn't have any guy with Java skills so we implemented HTTP handler in SICF that generates web page with redirection to the 3rd party system. ABAP does not have a good support for various encryption algorithms so we used javascript interpreter available in ABAP AS. Portal just points to ICF service on ECC system that redirects to on demand solution. Implementation took one day. Obviously, in this case all users had to have account in ECC system.
Cheers

SAP Netweaver Portal - Folder structure and report publishing strategy

Hi gurus,
I'm working on a project in which we are publishing BW reports in SAP Netweaver Portal (prior to this, we were using SAP Bex Browser) organizing it by Department (workset, 2nd lvl of navigation), Business Processes (workset, 3rd lvl of navigation) and "iview types" (transactions, queries, dashboards and so on). On 1st level we have a workset simply called "Reports".
For each PFCG role we have on BW (ABAP Server), we created a portal role and defined which of the higher navigation tiers is visible to users (delta-linking the top level navigation worksets to the portal role and setting visible accordingly) and then we assigned Portal roles to the appropriated Group (PFCG role) so all users that have access to certain PFCG role can have access to the corresponding Portal role.
For example:
In BW (ABAP) we have a PFCG Role: Sales PMR Analysis - Administrator, which grants access to Sales Infoproviders, queries and data for PMR analysis. The user that have access to it, should be able to see:
|Reports|
|Sales Administration|
v PMR Analysis
> Web Queries
> Transactions
> Dashboards
> Workbooks
In Portal we create a workset that has: "Reports" and under it, all Departments (Sales Administration, Financial, Services, Human Resources and so on) set as "not visible". We create a Portal role called PMR Analysis and add the Report/Departments workset, set Sales Administration as visible and add worksets/folders named PMR Analysis, Web queries, Transactions, etc, and all the corresponding iviews under it.
If we assign this new Portal role to the Group of the corresponding PFCG role, the user will see exactly as the example from above.
Pros: The users have a clean view of the reports he/she has access.
Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist.
One of the options would be to grant visibility to ALL departments, business processes and iviews in Portal and let PFCG security roles control user access, but that might be confusing to have an overwhelming amount of links, making it hard to find what the user needs, specially during first access. Not to mention possible security breaches.
So, I'd like to know how other consultants are defining this kind of folder structure and report publishing strategy in Portal. Ideally we would like to be able to have:
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
I'd appreciate if you guys can share your experience on this.
Thanks in advance.
Leandro

Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist
This is not a refutation: your BW developers/consultants should be able to write reports, which points you in case of insufficent backend rights. EP is not designed to be familiar with ABAP security concept and cant take any influence at it.

Yes, bad idea.
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
As you already wrote on your own, this would be not good
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
This is not covered by SAP, if you wanna provide that, develop it on your own.

How to connect SAP R/3- System with SAP NetWeaver Portal (2004s)?

Hello to all,
sorry, can someone help me? How can I connect SAP R/3- System with SAP NetWeaver Portal (2004s)?
Thanks and regards,
Galyna

Hi,
In previous link contain this info
This describes how to connect an SAP R/3 system to SAP NetWeaver Portal using an iView
1)      Go to System Administration
2)      Go to System Configuration
3)      Go to Portal Content (Right Side Panel), open that folder.
4)      Right Click on Portal Content, a Panel is displayed select "System (from Template)".
5)      That will display a new view on right side, now select "SAP system using dedicated application server" from
the existing templates. (Other templates are possible - for example, load balanced or through a SAProuter connection string).
For this exercise, we'll use the simplest type.
6)      Choose next
7)      Give the System Name and System Id (which are mandatory fields) incase you want to give any brief notes
about the system then give them in the "Description" field.
8)      Open the Newly Created System.
9)      Now when you want to create a New System, you have to fill four Properties they are:
"Connector" - contains basic connectivty details
"Internet transaction Server (ITS) - if you wish to use SAPGUI for HTML and/or IACs",
"Web Application Server" - if you wish to access BSPs and/or Web Dynpro for ABAP and
"User Management".
You also need at least one "System Alias" has to be defined from the Display drop down menu.
Make sure you have set end user access in the Permissions drop down menu to all users who need to access the system
10) Select "Connector" property, now fill the required fields such as:
a)      Application Host (should be fully qualified hostname) - Give the R/3 "Application Name",
which can be obtained from the SAP Logon Pad (check what R/3 system you are using, right click on it , go to the properties,
it will open a window which has the Application Server Name.
b)      Logical System Name - Give the logical name as defined in the backend system
c)      SAP Client - Check the Client in the backend system and give the appropriate number (3 digits)
d)      SAP System ID(SID)* - Check the R/3 properties and give the check for System ID
e)      System Type* - Since we are connecting to R/3, select SAP_R3 system.
f)       System Number - This is a two digit number that you can find in the SAP Logon Pad
11) Select "Internet transaction Server (ITS)" property, now fill the required fields like
a)      ITS Description à Give some Description
b)      ITS Host Name - Same as "Application Host" of R/3 (when integrated ITS) and should be attached with the
port number of ITS Server (to get port number detailed description is given below). ex: hostname : port number
c)      ITS Path - To get the path along with the port number you have to Log on to R/3 system. Use the
Transaction Code "SICF", it opens a new window go to:
      default_host -> sap -> bc -> gui -> sap -> its -> webgui -> SAP GUI for HTML -> right click on
that and click "Test Service'. This will open a new window, on the address bar you will find the "port number", and
the path something like (/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui). Use the path after the port number.
d)      ITS Protocol - There are two protocols "http" & "https", select the appropriate protocol which is
visible when you opened "Test Service" window.
12) Select "Web Application Server" property , now fill the required fields like
a)      Web AS Description -> Give some Description
b)      Web AS Host Name - same as ITS Host Name
c)      Web AS Path - usually /sap/bc/bsp/sapd)*
Web AS Protocol - should be same as the ITS Protocol.
13)   Select "User Management" property, now fill the required fields like
a)      Authentication Ticket Type - Since we are not using SSO leave the field
empty i.e. put in select mode. (Please note that longer term you will probably want to use SSO)
b)      Logon Method - Select UIDPW.
c)      User Mapping Type - In case you have administration rights then you choose "admin" or in case you
just have user rights then choose "user", better go for "admin/user".
14)   Since all the required fields are filled appropriately now create a System Alias name, this can be done by following steps:
a) go to Display -> Select "System Aliases" give some Alias Name, let's call it "SAP_R/3"
15) Now that System is created we have to create a iView which will display the given Transaction Code.
16) Go To "Content Administration".
17) Go To "Portal Content".
18) Go to Portal Content (Right Side Panel), open that folder
19) Right Click on Portal Content, a Panel is displayed select "New" -> iView
20) Select iView template, click next
21) Select "SAP Transaction iView" from the list of templates available. Click next.
22) Give the iView name and iView ID. Incase you want to give any brief notes about the iView then give it in "Description" field. Click next
23)   Select "SAP GUI for HTML" radio button. Click next
24) Now select the system which you have create "SAP_R/3", give some Transaction Code, say SE12 (Dictionary Display). Click next and Finish.
25) Now Preview the iView
26) You will see a new Window where in SE12 Dictionary Display window is displayed.

How to enable change password feature in SAP Netweaver Portal 7?

Hi experts,
I would like to provide a change password link just beside the logout link after user had successfully logged in to Sap Netweaver portal. When user clicks that link, a change password screen sill appear to allow user to change his/her password.
Question:
1) How do i create a link in portal header just beside the logout link?
2) Is there any default change password page for Sap Netweaver Portal that I can use for this purpose?
Thanks,
Kenneth

Hi,
To get the change password link beside logout, get the masthead PAR file from portal, import into your NWDS, make the changes in the JSP and upload PAR file back to portal. Search with keyword "Masthead customization" in SDN. You will get many documents to achieve.
SAP has password change functionality available. Chekc the link below for details.

Crystal Report in NetWeaver portal via option "Based on BW Report"

Hello,
I have searched the forums and read the blog by Ingo but haven't found a solution, that's why I post this new thread.
We currenctly have the following situation:
We are creating Crystal Reports which are stored on the BW server to have the benefit of being able to transport them from DEV to QA to PROD. The Crystal Reports publisher is in place and works perfectly in all three environments, so we are able to open our Crystal reports via the InfoView Portal, no issues here (we have 3 folders for the 3 systems on 1 BO server).
In our NetWeaver portal, we have the integration kit iview available, and we are able to open our Crystal reports via the option 'Standard BusinessObjects Enterprise Report' by using the ID for the Crystal that we find in the InfoView portal.
However, to benefit from transporting also our portal from DEV to QA to PROD, we would like to use the option 'Based on BW Report' to be able to use the technical id which is used in BW and is the same across the 3 systems (unlike, the Crystal ID on the BO server).
I have tried numerous combinations of parameters in the iView, but keep getting "error 404" when previewing the report based on the BW report id.
Could someone indicate if they have had managed to use this option, and if yes what parameters I should use in the iView?
(system = ? (BW or BO?) / application paramaters: (cms_name = <BO_SERVER> ?)
Thanks a lot!
Tom

>> System is the system that you defined. this is the SAP System that you defined in the portal and then you need to enter the properties for the Crystal Enterprise Server for the SAP system as well.
>> CMS Name is the full qualified host name and port for the CMS server of your BOE System.

Future of SAP NetWeaver Portal besides Duet Enterprise!!!

What about the future of SAP NetWeaver Portal when you have Duet Enterprise? I think it would be a strategic collapse of SAP NetWeaver Portal while Sharepoint portal is running in Parallel. I can't see both portal running in parallel. From end users perspective, Sharepoint portal acceptability would be more high as far as UI and Microsoft services are concerned.
Discussion is required.

Hi Ghazanfar,
Duet 1.5 is still supported by both SAP and Microsoft. However, no more features will be developed on top of Duet 1.5. Keeping this in mind -- and also the fact that Duet 1.5 offered quite "static" scenarios (you cannot really enhance / modify anything) I would very much recommend to consider Duet Enterprise.
Right now Duet Enterprise does offer some scenarios out of the box but we already see a lot of partners jumping on Duet Enterprise and developing their own scenarios on top. In addition to that SAP & Microsoft are also currently planning to develop additional content on top of Duet Enterprise.
Using SharePoints BCS functionality you can also integrate Microsoft Outlook with Duet Enterprise. For example in the Starter Services that are available with Duet Enterprise we showcase how you can synchronize ERP contacts without any coding into Outlook. Obviously more fancy UIs will also require coding. But the fact is -- you can do it. If something is not as you like it, you can modify / adjust it.
So having said that I would clearly recommend to use Duet Enterprise instead of Duet 1.5 -- even if you have already SAP NetWeaver Portal running.

Holger.

Licença de SAP Netweaver Portal para Processo de B2B

Pessoal, boa tarde!
Alguém sabe me dizer se para utilizar o SAP Netweaver Portal para os processos de B2B é necessário comprar licença SAP ou está incluso no pacote onde a empresa compra o GRC e o PI?
Essa licença do PI que a empresa tem direito nessa compra, é somente para o processo de NF-e ou ela pode utilizar para integração com outros processos e sistemas?
No aguardo, obrigado.
Danilo

Danilo,
a licenca do NFE inclui:
- Netweaver runtime: licença Web AS (ABAP e Java) para rodar os componentes SLL-NFE e SLL-NFE-JWS.
- PI runtime: exclusivamente para utilizacao das interfaces do XI Content de NFE (SWCV SAP SLL-NFE 1.0).
Se vc precisa do PI para outras interfaces e/ou precisa do Portal para disponibilizacao de telas para clientes/fornecedores, essas licencas realmente estao fora da licenca do SAP NFE 1.0.

Henrique.

Adding BI Java on NetWeaver Portal 2004s installation

Hi All,
We have NetWeaver Portal 2004s sps 10 installed.
We would like to know if we can add BI Java on the same instance.
Thanx
Jayant

Hi Yayant,
Yes, its possible to have BI Java stack added to Netweaver 2004s,
but from my point of view the version should already been installed with Netweaver 2004s Java stack as SAP_BW.
Check this in the System --> Status --> SAP System Data menu of your respective system.
Assign points if it helps you.

Integrating a Java web application into the SAP NetWeaver Portal

Hello experts,
We have a requirement to integrate a Java based web application into the SAP NetWeaver Portal using iView/iFrame technology. The Java based web application is completely independent from the SAP environment but should be displayed as part of the SAP Portal environment. The other requirement is the main navigation menu for the Java based web application should be configured and provided in the SAP Portal.
Any pointers on how exactly this can be done would be of great help.
Also how can the SSO (Single-Sign-On) to the Java application be implemented so that the user can logon to the java application through the portal without providing the user credentials again.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I think you can use URL iviews to integrate your java web application with EP. you have the option of doing SSO with the application as well.
Have a look at the sap help material

Run a Crystal Report published on BW from SAP NetWeaver Portal without BOE

Hi all,
We need to create a report using Crystal Reports, save it to BW, publish it to SAP NetWeaver Portal, and run it from SAP NetWeaver Portal. We do not want to use BOE here.
Currently, we are able to save the report on BW.
With Xcelsius, we have seen that we can directly refer to the dashboard's technical name from SAP NetWeaver Portal. Is similar thing possible using Crystal Reports? If yes, how this can be achieved?

Dhanesh Aradhye

Do a new layout on SAP NetWeaver Portal need more Performance?

Hello,
we want to create a new layout on SAP NetWeaver Portal in the Corporate Design of our company. Somebody said me, that a change from the standard layout needs a lot of more Performance on the server. Is that true?
At the present time our server already works very slowly with the standard layout. Is it useful to change the layout? Or do we need a better server for that?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Ulrike Arndt

Hi,
It depend on how you design your layout.
Use standard light framework and design your layout without heavy weight components.
It increases the performance also.(a little b
it.)
