Business Object, SAP BW and SAP Enterprise Portal

Hello all,
I've a few questions about the possibility for linking Business Object, SAP BW and the SAP Enterprise Portal.
The Business Package MSS 1.41 give us a functionality to display (in a federated portal) personalized Budget and costs in an Overview Iview (kind of Welcome page).
Those information are retrieved from SAP BW and I'd like to know if it's possible to retrieve those data (with the same functionality) from Business Object tool.
Is it possible to have those personalized reports without having a direct link (standard architecture) between SAP BW and the federated portal?
Thank you in advance fro your answers.
Matthieu

Hi,
The procedure to replicate BW users in BO is explained in detail on the blog of Ingo Hilgefort:

  • Is there User Group and Role Reporting in SAP Enterprise Portal?

    I want to know if there is a way to pull users statistics our of SAP Enterprise Portal like you can out of the R3 backend systems.
    I would like functionality similar to the SUIM transaction. I know through user administration you can access any user, even a list of all users, and you can do similar lists with roles and groups. You can then access any of these things individually and look at their assignments. However, I want to do this on a large scale. I want to know for example every group that has a user assigned to it. Evergroup that has roles assigned to it. Or groups that have no user or role assignments. We have approximately 1904 groups in our Production Portal system and I am trying to clean up the groups that have no user assignment, but I don't want to look through them one by one.

    Hi Chris,
    There is no standard report available for this purpose. However all this information is stored in table UME_STRINGS.
    You can write your own SQL queries to generate such reports. However please note that this table is not normalized, and it's a master UME table. You should use it strictly for READ ONLY purpose.
    For a sample code you which i wrote some time back, you might refer:

  • BI content and SAP Enterprise portal connection

    Hello All,
    i m new to SAP enterprise portal , can anyone explain me the connection of BI content and Enterprise Portal.Please explain me the flow of publishing the Bi reports to EP.
    Thnks in advc.

    HI Sonal,
    For publishing BI reports in portal you  need to Integrate BI into Portal.
    Please refer to SAP Notes:
    916950
    937697
    They are very helpful.
    Procedure for publishing after integrating BI with portal:
    For this you need to create Roles-Worksets-Pages---Ivews.
    The name of the report which you want to  be displayed in TLN you need to make a Role for that and the tab under that name you need to create worksets for that and the content of the report you need to create an ivew for that in this way your report will be displayed in portal also you need to righht click on the workset and <add workset to Role>and similarly for ivew also keeping entry point "YES" for a role is mandatory with the main report name in TLN and and the sub tabs under below it and the content indetailed navigation.
    For publishing simply create a Role --workset and an ivew .
    During creation of an ivew the wizard will ask you for a Query string that Query will be given to you by your BI people you just neeed to copy that query after ? mark and paste it in and then save it hence your report  is published in portal.
    This is basically the proceddure for publishing BI reports in portal. You can ask any doubts if you hae in this.

  • Q: BOBJ reports in SAP Enterprise Portal?

    Hi,
    We want to be able to access Business Objects reports (Crystal Reports and WebIntelligence Reports) via the SAP Enterprise Portal. The integration between SAP BI and BOBJ is completed, and we can create WebI and CR reports based on our SAP queries, but we have not been able to understand how to publish the reports in the portal.
    Does anybody have any idea of how to publish these reports (for instance if it is possible to create a direct link to the report in InfoView)?
    Any help appreciated,
    Thank you in advance,
    Mikael

    Hi Mikael,
    this is the quick (URL iView) but not the recommended (BOBJ iView Template) way:
    1. Log on the BOBJ InfoView, locate your report and look at its properties. Write down its CUID.
    2. Go into the SAP Portal and create a new URL iView using following URL
    http://<name of bobj web server:port of boboj web server>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=<CUID of your report>
    Regards,
    Stratos
    NOTE: The openDocument URL works for BOBJ XI 3.x installations with Tomcat. Please look in the documentation about the syntax if you are using IIS.

  • SAP Enterprise portal "portal content" keeps on loading not opening

    SAP Enterprise portal portal content keeps on loading and not opening only in my system(computer).When I check the console for errors, I found the below error,

    Make sure the hostname you use in your URL (short and FQDN) can be resolved.
    ie:
    myportal:<port>/irj
    myportal.mycompany.com:<port>/irj
    eg: in your hosts file make sure
    10.23.2.50 myportal myportal.mycompany.com
    Also after all the changes you have made, empty your browser cache and also force a GET by using cntrl+F5 key.

    SAP R3 is used for logistics of a organization, human resources,purchases and production,fianance,management,materials management.
    when bsuiness process is automated by SAPr3 it will reduces time, so less time consuming,faster, high quality when compared to manual business process, when your client also use same environment it will reduce the data migration and data missing, data synchronization,to rectify this lot of human resorces reqd and more time consuming for data migration
    so when compared to diffrent environments sap>oracle extra mainatning same environment lesess the time, improves data quality and efficiency less man power.

  • Integration of SAP enterprise portal with ATG dynamo platform

    This is more an architectural question.
    There is an existing web application running on the ATG 5.x/6.x B2C platform that takes orders from dealers for a retailer. It integrates with a SAP system using proprietary integration mechanisms. This is the existing architecture.
    There is a idea to use the SAP netweaver platform, specifically the SAP enterprise portal that will integrate with the ATG dynamo platform.
    ATG 6.2 and above allows integration in 2 ways :
    1) Use web services
    2) Integration framework using JMS/RPC etc
    [Pl. see the ATG documentation www.atg.com/support]
    I have been reading thru number of articles on SAP netweaver and looking for multiple options for the above integration.
    My theoretical understanding is:
    a) Develop a connector to the ATG platform using connector framework and invoke a web service on the ATG platform that expose the business logic built on the ATG platform
    b) Does SAP XI come into picture if the portal tries to create a business process out of one single application.
    c) Are there any other options?
    I'm completely new to the SAP netweaver platform but have a good idea on SOA.
    Any help or inputs on this will be highly appreciated.

    Hello,
    I can give you a suggestion from the Connector framework point of view. We are currently developing a generic webservice connector which will enable to create content using CF, which will be sent as WS requests for function execution. The connector is planned to be released for New-York 7.1 Netweaver branch. For the mean time I can suggest, as you did, to develop your CF connector which will connect to ATG exposed WS.
    Best Regards,
    Ran

    Hi Ainsley,
    A work around?  Yes and no and sort of ...kind of...
    This turns out to be quite complex and tempermental.
    In short, you cannot use Windows AD authentication, but instead use LDAP (with the Microsoft Active Directory). We were able to get this to work with much effort.  The biggest limitation is that it supports a single AD forest.
    I am giving a presentation on silent single sign on for BI4 and Enterprise Portals at the SAP BO User Confernce in Orlando and  will see about posting the slides after the conference, but can share some of the resources here that we found to be most useful.  Please reach out to me if I can help further.

  • Configure SSO Connection from SAP Enterprise Portal to BOE Server

    Hi Guys,
    We recently installed a BOE Server and want to connect it to our SAP Enterprise Portal. What we need is just to display the Crystal Reports via Enterprise Portal. We have set up the following:
    SAP EP with AD Authentication
    SAP EP configured with SNC to SAP BI7 system
    SAP BOE XI 3.1 - SAP Integration Kit
    BOE Server configured with SAP Authentication via SAP BI7 System
    We've also set up BOE IK iviews and URL iviews pointing to existing reports in BOE. However, when we access it from EP, it prompts for a username and login to BOE. Is there a way to configure these so that there is no prompt for login to BOE server and SSO is used? Is it also possible to have a service account (e.g. domain/crystal) that will run the reports in BOE everytime a user accesses a report from SAP EP?
    Let me know if this is at all possible

    Hi,
    You should configure InfoView for SSO first, which required infoview.xml file modification, using windows AD default authentication. If you want to utilize the OpenDocument URL for iView then you also need to configure OpenDocument.xml file for SSO also. The SAP portal must have trust relation with the SAP BW server so the Windows AD token can be authenticate with SAP BW server.
    If you want crystal user to run all the report then you will lose data security. It can be done by hard coding user name and password in the report properties and database logon but the SSO capability can be accomplished only by windows AD, SAP or LDAP.
    For more details check BOXI Admin guide and SAP Integration Guide.
    Thanks,
    Muhammad

  • Performance issue of BI Reports in SAP Enterprise portal -in SAPNW2004s

    Dear friends,
    We are integrating BI Reports in SAP Enterprise Portal 7.0 ( SAP NW- 2004s).The reports are running properly .But the issue here is reports are taking long time to open and leading it to performance effect.
    Reports in BEX( Bi side) working lilttle better than EP platform.
    And Even BI team is looking for ways to improve the performance.
    Could you please share your ideas to implement in portal side to increase the performance.
    Thanks and Regards
    Ratnakar Reddy

    Hello Mr. Reddy,
    There are two possibilities for slow performance in BW reports, so we need to look into wether its slow in the BW system or at the frontend.
    If the problem resides in the BW system then we should be able to trace the reports
    and you can go for a SAP EW or GV sessin and SAP will provide recommendations.
    If the problem resides at the frontend
    Update the frontend servers to the latest frontend release.
    Recommended Frontend Release 700
    Recommended Frontend Patch      18
    Update the frontend servers to the lates SAP GUI release as soon as possible.
    Minimum Recommended SAP GUI Release 6.40
    Your frontend PCs should fulfill the following requirements:
    Each frontend PC should have 500 MHz and 128 MB main memory.
    Because of a limit in the addressable memory, Windows 95 is not supported as Frontend OS for 3.X BW Systems. Please refer to SAP Notes 161993, 321973 and 366626 for details.
    Please also check SAP Note 147519 "Maintenance strategy/ deadlines 'SAPGUI'".
    If you still require any assistance from SAP support then raise a message under component ( probably BW-BEX-ET-WEB).
    Provide your input, if you have any.
    Thank you,
    Tilak
