BI 7.0 Web Report and Enterprise Portal

Hi,
We have recently performed technical upgrade to BI 7.0
Now we would like to migrate web reports to NW2004s functionality. Is it necessary to configure inbuilt BI Portal before we can use web reports?
Best Regards,
UR

Hi,
take a look at this note which describes how to setup BEx Web in SAP NetWeaver 2004s. All required steps are mentioned. Additionally, this note contains a checklist to check the installation and configuration.
SAP NetWeaver 2004s: Setting Up BEx Web
SAP Note Number: [917950 |https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_bw_sys/~form/handler%7b5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d393137393530%7d]
In SAP NetWeaver 2004s, load is moved from AS-ABAP (BI-ABAP) to AS-Java (BI-Java). BI generates load on Portal (AS-Java), therefore BI users generate more load on Portal than normal Enterprise Portal users. See note 927530 for additional information about BI-Java sizing.
Which functionalities of BEx Web in SAP NetWeaver 2004s are requiring a Portal?
- New BEx Web Application Designer (Unicode, Command Wizard, ...)
- Exporting to PDF and Printing
- Integrated Planning
- Drag&Drop (Analysis Web Item)
- Web Items (Container Layout, Menu Bar, Tab Pages, Button Group, ...)
- Formatted Reporting with BEx Report Designer
- Document Integration with storage in Knowledge Management
For details, see Release Notes for Usage Type BI-Java under http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/index.htm
If you don't want to use the new BEx Web functionality, you can still use BEx Web 3.5 Runtime that is running only with Usage Type AS-ABAP.
Take also a look:

WebI reports in Enterprise Portal - Are they static??

Hi All,
We currently have Bex reports on our enterprise Portal. Users can actually go to the portal and view the reports and go to edit mode and drag and drop objects and change the view the way they like and save it as a new view.
We are planning to shift from Bex Reporting to business Objects. If I create an iview for WebI report and have the WebI report on the Portal, can we do the same. Can we still edit the Report and save a different report of it or is it more like a static page with just the data.
We need to give atleast 100 users the ability to get to these queries and make changes to them as they like and save their own views.
Also what is Knowledge Management? Does that give us the ability to create webI reports in enterprise Portal. Please calrify..
Thank you,
Aparna

Hi
you can edit a report which is visible over a URL iView and save it in the BOBJ repository under a different name (assuming your user has been assigned the appropriate auhtorizations in the bobj repository). The problem is that the iView will always invoke the original report.
I would recommend using KMC. It provides you with the ability to view and create WebI reports from within the EP. Another option is to add a URL iView, hich starts the InfoView (simplified: BOBJ Portal) from within the portal. But the look and feel over the KMC integration is more EP complient.
Take a look at the Installation and Administration Guide for the BOBJ XI Integration for SAP solutions.

Server Side Trust and Webi Report Scheduling via Portal

Hello,
I have opened a similar thread about Server Side Trust and webintelligence reporting through the portal a few months ago.
At the time, we had some complaints about users that were getting SSO errors after 8 hours when scheduling WeBi Report through the SAP Portal.
Basically, the users connect to the Portal and then FROM the Portal, to a BOI view pointing to the Infoview.
Then, after investigatinon, it was my understanding that the WebI Reports should be scheduled through an Infoview token and not a portal token. In concrete terms Server Side Trust had to be implemented between the SAP BW Backend and the BOE 3.1 Server.
And after that the users who wanted to schedule WebI reports should connect to the Infoview directly (using their SAP BW credentials) to generate an Infoview Token.
Scheduling Webi reports from the Portal will not be solved by implementing Server Side Trust, since it is only a matter of time before the the Portal token expires ( 8 hour by default).
Now, I have configured the server side Trust between our BOE 3.1 SP2 and our BW 701 system, SNC configuration, PSE generation, exchange of certificats , etc ...
I did some scheduling tests connecting directly to the BO Infoview and it works.
But of course, now I am being told by the users that this solution is not acceptable.
The Portal being the entry point of our Infrastructure, they don't want to connect to the Infoview to schedule their reports.
So I opened a SAP customer call to try to have an official and clear statement from SAP but I never obtained it.
I had a look at my SAP BO courses but I am still confused
For example according to SAP BO100 , server side trust should be implemented when ;
"BOE client session authenticated using Single sign on using SAP token
(Enterprise Portal) and SAP reports are being scheduled at a future point in
time (after token expiry date)."
Anyone can help me to clear my mind ?
Thank you
Best Regards

Hi,
first of all lets separate the UI portion from the technical portion.
on the technical side:
yes for scheduling the Web Intelligence document you will need Server side trust
on the UI side:
- scheduling is part of InfoView
- scheduling is part of the KM integration with the portal
if that is not accepted from a UI point of view from the user you can create your own application to schedule documents using the SDK.

Supporting BW 3.5 and BI 7.0 Web Reports in NW04s Portal

Hi All,
I have been able to identify any documentation confirming that web reports from both BW 3.5 and BI 7.0 can be supported within the same portal.
Can someone please point me to documentation supporting this solution? Or, provide me with further understanding of this model. Points will be rewarded...
Thanks!
Dana

Hi KJ,
Yes, I have already reviewed that blog. However, that is only discussing the interoperability of the BW 3.5 and BI 7.0 frontend tools.
I'm interested in supporting/publishing both BW 3.5 and BI 7.0 Web Reports via the portal, not building the web reports.
Thanks!
Dana

SAP CRM 7.0 and Enterprise Portal

Dear SAP Gurus ,
I have question about the New CRM WEB UI and integration to SAP Enterprise Portal .
We have been using the SAP Enterprise portal for accesing the SAP CRM functionalities before (eg create Opporutnites and Sales Order ). But with the New SAP version(7.0 and 2007 ) its possible to have its own portal.
Now the question is it possible to integrate the NEW SAP WEB UI into the existing portal ? Eg: If we want to have link in Enterprise portal with the Sales Order create functionalyt direlty without going into the stand alone CRM WEB UI . Would it be possible to directly call the Sales order service WEB UI in enterprise portal . Right now what we see is that the NEW CRM WEB UI is stand alone and for these type of fuctionalites the user need to login to the NEW web ui and then go to the create sales order screen .
Is it possible to directly embed the new UI components in the existing SAP enterprise portal ?
Many Thank for your kind advise !
Best Regards,
Ankur

Ankur,
Once you have correctly integrated to Portal following the SAP Note, you will no longer see the CRM Navigation. They will be Portal Navigation. If you have read and understood the note, it will be clear. On an overview, let me explain the steps involved.
1. You create a CRM role (based on some job role) say "Sales Rep" and have configured the CRM Web UI for all the navigation and applications. Like Account maintenance, Opportunities, Sales order create etc. etc.
2. Following the note and running a CRM transaction, you will now "Export" this CRM role to an external file. This file is very similar to a "business package". All the portal roles, pages, iVeiws etc. get created.
3. You will now "Import" this into your portal. Again follow the notes to know the loaction.
4. In the portal, you will assign this "portal role" to your users.
When these users log on to portal, they will see Portal Navigation (not the CRM navigation). So, the main point lies in defining the CRM role and get it working.
Hope you get the point....

Scheduled a webi report and set it send to EMAIL.

Our customer found when they scheduled a webi report and set it send to EMAIL, it will cost much more time than usual after they have their SIA restarts.
The first time it takes 4-5 times longer to receive a report in mailbox than next time onwards.
Please help.
Thanks Much,
Abhishek

Hi Abishek,
If the schedule is taking 4-5 times longer to schedule following the SIA restart I suppose it is possible that the Webi Job Server and Webi Processing Servers are not fully registered with the CMS - can you check that.
Also can you test by ensuring that if there are any Webi Job Servers\Webi Processing Servers in the environment which are stopped\disabled, can you retest after deleting those servers. There is a bug with XI3.1:
ADAPT01371367
Description:
Scheduled jobs often have a delay when the system is upgraded to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 FP 2.2 or FP 2.3.This problem also happens when some of the servers required for scheduling are stopped and disabled. In this case, the Adaptive Job Server (AJS) tries to confirm if all available Webi Report Servers are running, and this causes the delay in running the scheduled jobs.
New Behavior:
This problem has been resolved.
Do you have a test system where you could install FP3.1 and check the fix?
The only "workaround" I could suggest would be to ensure that all services needed for the schedule are running\enabled (Adaptive Job Servers and Webi Processing Servers). This will stop the Adaptive Job Server from its continual querying for those servers. The adverse effect of this is that the more unnecessary services which are running will necessitate increased network communication.
To check if this is the actual issue you are hitting, you would need to trace the schedule and check for messages like this in the logs:
[2010-08-27 12:02:08,769] [TID:24] [ERROR] [webi.PublishingHelper.<init>():89]: unable to retrieve all mandatories servers to proceed this job
Alternatively, log a message with SAP Support for further investigation.

Kind regards,
John

We have this error in monitoring of Activity Reports - Status of Activity Reporting: "The database contains non-aggregated data that is more than 2 hours old".
And we found this exception in logs: "Exception during a Prepared-statement DB update"
What could be a problem? What should we do?

Hello Experts,

The Webi Reports, Web Services and the Dashboards everything is made directly in BO Production.
My question is, Can I transport the Webi Reports and the Web Services from BO Production to BO Development?
And If yes, will it have any other impact on webi reports, web services or dashboards?
Thanks & Regards,
Alfred Thomas
