BW Screens in extranet

We are in the process of starting to implement reporting applications for external users. SAP BI already has most of the reports/screens we need... but there is a serious concern on security. IT thinks that if we presented the screens to extranet users, we automatically open up the entire SAP BI system for potential hacking. Is there a convincing way to put only the end results (the screens with the query results) to the extranet?. the queries filter the BI database so that only the relevant data suited/authorized to the external user are transmitted to the screens-if only the screen sat in the extranet, then only the user relevant data are accessible. I hope i was able to explain what we want
We have SAP BW 7.
In any event, any suggestion would be most welcome...
Best regards,
Huba

If you have as much as possible bullet-proof authorization concept in place this concern should not be an issue.
Notice that reporting user (in your case = extranet user) has only exposure to business data in BW's infoproviders. Such a user is accessing the data by MDX (in case of BEx) or by BICS (in case of portal) interface. This should guarantee no access to technical data (metadata) in SAP's BW backend.

  • How can I create an easily managed Customer Extranet?

    I have a customer who wants to provide an extranet for his customers that is easily maintained by non-technical field operators.
    He wants one screen that field operators can use to create and upload files.  For example, the screen would look similar to this:
    Create new customer: [________________________]  or Select existing customer: [________________________][^]
    Upload file: [___________________][^]
    [SUBMIT]
    When the submit button is clicked, then following needs to happen:
    - new Secure Zone is created for that customer
    - a new category is created with that customer's name
    - the file is uploaded to the literature module, and assigned to that customer's category
    - new page for that customer and is automatically assigned to the new Secure Zone; the page will have the literature module limited to that customer's category
    Is this even possible?
    Any other ideas how I might achieve the same effect?
    Thanks!

    Thank you for posting.
    You can create a page and provide 2 links/buttons, one for the existing customer to login and another one for the new customer, which will take them to a registration form.
    Case 1 (existing customer logged in) : You can create a page and add "update details" module to the page. Add it as a landing page to a secure zone. When existing customer will login, they will be taken to this page and will have the option to update their details.
    PS : You need to create a form, add "upload file" field to it and add this form when adding the "update details module" to the page.
    Case 2 (New customer) : Create a form, add "upload file" field to this form. Add it to a page and link this page with the "new customer" link/button. You can also attach a secure zone with this form. When customer will register, he will be subscribed to the attached secure zone.
    Coming to your other questions :
    - new Secure Zone is created for that customer : Unfortunately, this is not possible. The only way to ccreate a secure zone is from the admin panel.
    - a new category is created with that customer's name : This is not possible either. You can either create categories from admin panel or via import file.
    - the file is uploaded to the literature module, and assigned to that customer's category : The files can't be uploaded to the literature from the front end of the site. Literatures can be created from the backend only. The file uploaded via webform, is attached to the case and not to the user. However, you can use webapps, allow file upload and it will be associated with the user.
    - new page for that customer and is automatically assigned to the new Secure Zone; the page will have the literature module limited to that customer's category : Webpages can be created from the backend. Submitting a form can't create a webpage. Also, you need to add the page to the secure zone. It can't be assigned to the secure zone automatically. You can display literature items in a category. However, you need to add the literature module from the backend.

  • How to disable Gateway for intranet, enable Gateway for extranet

    We are upgrading from Plumtree 4.5 to Plumtree 5.04 (.NET), and are having issues with web cards going through the gateway space. The requirement is for intranet users to NOT use the gateway space to access content, and for extranet users to use the gateway - since they could not access the content without the gateway from outside the firewall.
    In Plumtree 4.5, we created a custom file that checked to see if the user was on the intranet or extranet. Basically, if intranet then redirect to the content file - else if extranet, go through gateway.asp to open the file.
    In Plumtree 5.04, the gateway setting is on the web service for the data source and it is either always gateway the content or never gateway the content. Is there a way to allow extranet users to utilize the gateway, but turn the gateway off for intranet users???? I saw a couple of posts for the AccessingFromIntranetuser info setting - if that setting is set to true, does that turn off the gatewaying? Set to false, it allows the gateway to continue?
    We need to turn the gateway off for intranet users due to our content sitting on a web server farm behind a foundry/load balancing switch. With gateway turned on, all of the traffic to the content servers comes from the three web servers and not the client browsers - so all traffic is routed to one content server, overloading it, instead of being load balanced across the content server farm. We can't turn off the gateway entirely, since users have to be able to get to the content from the extranet via the Portal.
    This is for the standard "World Wide Web" data source, so it is not a custom CWS (not a NT file crawler).
    Thanks in advance for your help! This is a showstopper for our implementation!

    Hi Richa,
    As "Agent proxy not enable" is a default rule which comes from microsoft SCOM 2007R2 or 2012 R2 you cannot disable it or override it by saying don't trigger on
    the SCCM agent. If you are overriding a rule or monitor you need to first disable it and tell SCOM trigger only on these agents and add the agents one by one. As you cannot disable this so it is not possible possible.
    Any ways you can try this as per the below screen shot and let me know if it works.
    Add the SCCM server to a group by creating a new group from the groups in Authoring tab and make that SCCM a member of the new group.
    Once done Go to rules and search for that alert. You may get many alerts of the same name but classes may represent different. Any ways select any one among them.
    And right click and select the options as per the below screen shot highlighted in RED.
    Once you have selected "For objects of another class" Select the group you created and click ok. Once you do it you will get the below window.
    As per the below screen shot change the value to False (It will be true by default). As per the below screen shot and click ok and you are done.

  • Windows Blue Screen Error Message Appears As Soon As IPod Connected

    Everytime I connect my IPod to my computer, I get the Windows Blue Screen error message. Thought it was the cable, so plugged cable in by itself. No problem. Uninstalled IPod and ITunes software and then plugged in IPod, still got the Blue Screen. The Blue Screen says something about "recent plugged in device problem". It is not the cable, it must be the IPod. Did not have this problem when I bought it. Tried it on labtop and get the same error message. I can't do updater or anything that requires me to plug the IPod into a computer because the Blue Screen appears immediately. When I unplug, the Blue Screen remains and locks up the computer so I have to restart each time. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help.

    Hi Mike thank you for replying,
    I am not able to start the computer in safe mode, safe mode with networking, last good known configuration etc, Each time it quickly blue screens and restarts about two secs into the process.
    I was unable to try a clean OS install from the disk as it gave the blue screen error shown in the original post. The same thing happened when I tried to use the repair option on the XP home disc. So i can't get into the computer at all to start diagnosing the fault, the only clue I have is the error message, and after searching the internet I haven't found much enlightenment from that yet.
    If you can help me out or suggest where to search it would be much appreciated.
    Thx

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 opening an image in middle of CS opening screen?

    Can anyone please help me with a way of opening images in CS2 where after opening they will appear in the middle
    of the CS screen rather then in the top left corner?
    I can drag and maximize so they appear in the middle, but on reopening another image they default to the top left again, I would like them to always
    open in the middle?
    Thanks

    Still having problems?  I was struggling to find any documentation for CS2 online, but realised that my bookshelf goes back to Photoshop 6, and I have Martin Evening's Photoshop for Photographers CS2.  Unfortunately, I could see nothing in any of the Preferences tabs that would help.
    At this stage I don't really know what you have tried?  You should try to reset your workspace, and if that does nothing, reset your preferences.  The usual way to do that is to hold down Shift Alt Ctrl while opening Photoshop, but I don't know for sure that worked with CS2.
    Bernie Ecclestone would only need a tiny exec jet, unless he wanted to take his wife along. ;-)
    CC is Creative Cloud, and Tabs are those things you see along the top of the screen in your web browser when you have more than one page open.

  • Can not properly view cover flow in full screen in external display

    My mac is the new Mac book pro 15.4 inch screen and I connect my mac pro to external display e.g. Samsung LCD monitor 24 inches.
    The bug is that I can not PROPERLY view full screen (in external display) for some application e.g. iTunes, and Front Row.
    - When I use iTunes, I can not properly view Cover Flow view in full screen (in the external display screen) except the case of mirror display.
    - For Front Row, I can not view full screen in external display but only my mac display.
    However, for other DVD or VDO players, I can view movie on external display in full screen and I still be able to do other works on my mac screen.
    Please let me know how to solve it.

  • Getting null and 0 outputting to screen or file.

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to make a phone book program in Java. However the main functions of the phone book (adding and displaying contacts) isn't really working, it is outputting null or 0.
    Here is a class to create an object for family members:
    import java.util.StringTokenizer;
    public class phoneFamily extends phoneNumbers
         protected int home;
         public phoneFamily(String name, String address, int mobile, int business, int home)
              super(name, address, mobile, business);
              this.home = home;
         public phoneFamily(StringTokenizer P)
              super(P);
              while (P.hasMoreTokens()){home = Integer.parseInt(P.nextToken());}
         public void setHome(int home)
              this.home = home;
         public int getHome()
              return home;
         public String toString()
              return "Name: " + name + "\nAddress: " + address + "\nMobile: " + mobile +
                   "\nBusiness: " + business + "\nHome: " + home;
         public String CSV()
              return name + "," + address + "," + mobile + "," + business + "," + home;
    }Now I'm assuming that the problem I am having, where null or 0 is written to the file and screen is caused by the methods that reads a contact, writes them to the file, prints them to the screen. Here are those bits of codes.
    Reads Contact:
    private phoneNumbers ReadContact()
              int x = 0;
              String contact;
              StringTokenizer S;
              while (x < 1 || x > 3)
                   System.out.print("Which type of contact would you like?");
                   System.out.print("\n1)Family\n2)Workers\n3)Friends");
                   x = keyboard.nextInt();
              contact = ReadString("contact name") + "," +
                         ReadString("address") + "," +
                         ReadString("mobile") + "," +
                         ReadString("business") + ",";
              if (x==1)
                   contact+=ReadString("home");
              else if (x==2)
                   contact+=ReadString("email") + "," + ReadString("job title") + "," + ReadString("department");
              else
                   contact+=ReadString("email") + "," + ReadString("home");
              S = new StringTokenizer(contact,",");
              if (x==1)
                   return new phoneFamily(S);
              else if (x==2)
                   return new phoneWorkers(S);
              else
                   return new phoneFriends(S);
    Writes to File
    public void Save() throws IOException
              PrintWriter phoneFile = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream(PH_FILE));
              for (int i=0;i<NumOfContacts;i++)
                   String phoneX = phone.CSV();
                   phoneFile.println(phoneX);
              phoneFile.close();
              System.out.println("Contacts have been saved successfully.");
    Prints on Screen
    public void PrintFamily()
              System.out.println("Contacts Stored as FAMILY:");
              System.out.println("");
              //#=7, Name=24, Address=28, Email=24, Mobile=12, Business=12,
              System.out.println(SpaceGen("#",7) + SpaceGen("Name",24) + SpaceGen("Address",28) +
                   SpaceGen("Mobile",12) + SpaceGen("Business",12) + SpaceGen("Home",12));
              //System.out.println(RepChar('=',100));
              for (int i=0;i<NumOfContacts;i++)
                   if (phone[i] instanceof phoneFamily)
                        System.out.print(SpaceGen((new Integer(i+1)).toString(),7));
                        System.out.print(SpaceGen(phone.getName(),24));
                        System.out.print(SpaceGen(phone[i].getAddress(),28));
                        System.out.print(SpaceGen(new Integer(((phoneFamily)phone[i]).getMobile()).toString(),12));
                        System.out.print(SpaceGen(new Integer(((phoneFamily)phone[i]).getBusiness()).toString(),12));
                        System.out.print(SpaceGen(new Integer(((phoneFamily)phone[i]).getHome()).toString(),12));
              //System.out.println(RepChar('=',100));
    For some reason the last thing you enter when adding a contact (example above, home number), gets displayed first (when it should be name) and the rest are null or 0. The file looks something like this (in CSV)
    111222333,null,0,0,0
    The "111222333" is supposed to be the name but like I said last value entered is being put first.
    I've gone over my code several times, with no luck :-(.

    I made a silly mistake in the bit where the details are read. After fixing that everything is running well :-).
    My mistake:
    I had something like:
    while(P.hasMoreTokens()){this.data = P.nextToken();}
    while(P.hasMoreTokens()){this.data2 = P.nextToken();}
    and so on...Obviously had to use "if"s and not "while"s to read the data...
    Thanks for offering a helping hand :-) though!

  • How do i use my own image with keying (or green screen)

    how do i use my own image witrh keying (or green screen)

    Put your sky clip on a layer below the clip you want to key. One or the other will be a connected clip. Apply  the Keying filter to foreground clip (the one with the green screen). The green will be seen as transparent and the sky will show through as the BG. Adjust as necessary in the Inspector.
    Good luck.

  • Encore WT8 - screen Mirroring on TV does not work

    Hello,
    I have a KDL42-W653A television which supports screen mirroring over WiFi.
    However, I cannot get it to work with the Toshiba Encore W8 tablet.
    The tablet detects the television, I enter the number, but the television never shows the tablet's screen.
    Both the television and the tablet are on the latest firmware.
    Another thread indicates there is an update for HDMI in January. I hope that covers this too.
    Anwar

    Hi
    > I have a KDL42-W653A television which supports screen mirroring over WiFi.
    By mirroring over WiFi what technology you mean exactly?
    Miracast, Intel WiDi, DisplayLink?
    Toshiba Encore supports *Miracast*
    To use Miracase both devices needs to support this technology.
    Then you can connect to external display very easy:
    Tab Settings -> Change PC settings -> PC and devices -> Devices
    Here you have to Add a device and you tablet will start searching for a Miracast devices
    After the connection has been established, the name of the Miracast device will appear under Projectors
    Did you test the video output connecting the table to the TV with an micro-HDMI cable?
    Does it work?
    Here is also an nice youtube video about the Toshiba Encore WT8 screen output options

  • Problem push and hold on a Surface Pro tablet's touch screen

    Hi,
    I tried posting this before, but I can't find my origional post so I hope I'm not spamming accidentally.
    I have a problem with my program on a Windows 8.1 Surface Pro tablet. I programmed a button to be 'push-and-hold', but when I touch the tablet nothing happens until I release my finger. This briefly controls the button. When I connect a USB mouse to the tablet, it responds normally; when I press the left mouse button: the button in my program goes down until I release the mouse button. I tried about every setting in the Touch section of the Windows control panel without any succes.
    Does anyone have a suggestion?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • On Screen Keyboard Glitch in Tablet Mode - On Screen Keyboard minimizes / disappears / slides down

    Hi there -
    New Yoga owner here ( just bought it yesterday) and within minutes of setting the computer up I noticed that the on screen keyboard was malfunctioning when the yoga is in tablet mode. Specifically, it pops up for about a second and then, without me touching or clicking or doing anything, it quickly slides back down. repeated attempts to bring up the keyboard end up, frustratingly, with the same result. what is perplexing to me is the on screen keyboard works fine in laptop mode (when I need it least).
    Someone else already started a post on this BUT it was marked as 'solved' (which it wasn't) so I figured I'd start new thread. The solution on the previous thread was to simply 'refresh' windows to get rid of any new drivers that were downloaded since purchasing the yoga, but I did not download or update anything prior to this problem arising (as I said, the problem seemed to occur within a few minutes of turning the machine on for the first time). In any case, I tried the refresh and it did not work so clearly my problem is not that I downloaded an incompatible or faulty driver. Please Help! I love this machine and I'm trying to see past the other flaws I've noticed so far (subtle screen flickering, inconsistent touch sensitivity etc), but this issue is starting to really undermine my confidence in the product quality and, from a productivity standpoint, it is a real deal breaker to not have full tablet functionality.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I had the same problem with the disappearing virtual keyboard within hours of starting to use my new Yoga 13.  I read somewhere that it was a problem with an incompatible Synaptics driver, and when I looked in the control panel, it showed that the Synaptics driver had been updated on my Yoga as of the day I bought it.  I think somehow by agreeing to automatic updates of the software, the Synaptics driver is updated to an incompatible version.   So what I did was I removed the Synaptics driver, using the Windows program uninstaller tool, rebooted, and then found the Synaptics driver at the Lenovo site which is specifically labelled as the Yoga 13 driver.  I installed that, and the keyboard is now working fine.    

  • Mid-2010 Macbook Pro Screen Flicker Pixel Seizure

    Not sure how else to describe the problem, but I hope the title helps!
    I have a mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro. I noticed in the last month or so, my screen would flicker. But not the entire screen. Just certain areas, like the pixels would jump/lag, as if it it would jump to the correct position. I don't know what's the word for it: glitter, pixel, flicker, seizure. I mean, that what it looks like. It actually hurts my eyes.
    I don't know what could be the problem or if anyone knows what's going on. It's just certain pixels (random on the screen, but usually right in the middle) that get "stuck" and half a second later, jump. Not sure what the proper word is, but if anyone could identify it, that'll be great.
    Safari, Chrome, and Word are the applications I use, and I've seen it all three programs. It's becoming a lot more noticeable and frequent now, especially if I switch programs or if I'm loading a new page.
    The MBP is a tank, but I've been considering buying a new MacBook, preferably the Air, until this MBP kicks it, so if anyone has estimation on its shelf life, that'll be great (My 2005 Powerbook G4 barely made it through 4 years!). The warranty on the MBP just expired last year.
    Thanks in advance, I appreciate any insight on the issue.

    Curiously, I don't have that option. It only gives me the option to disable Automatic graphics switching where it should give the better battery life or higher performance options. Do I have something disabled that gets rid of that option? It's the same under the Battery or Power Adapter options.
    I'm going to take it to a genius but I'm wondering from reading other forums that maybe one of my RAM slots is bad. I want to have a play but will the genius know if I've opened it up and then possibly refuse it? If it is bad RAM then I can fix that myself without having to travel 70 miles to my nearest Apple Store. Is there a seal that I would break that would give away the fact that I've opened it up?
    Thanks for the advice so far.
