Can SAP BI (BW) stand alone as a data warehouse for Non-SAP Source Systems.

I recognize that the answer to this question depends on the version of SAP BW we are discussing. My question is one being posed to determine how SAP BW fits in with the BI world and the other tools available.
- Can a company implement SAP BI without also having the SAP ERS applications?
- If so, will SAP BI effectively support 3rd party source systems and what is needed to make it effective (NetWeaver XI, NetWeaver 2004s)?
Thanks for your expertise.
Denny

hi dear,
clearly the most valuable input given by BW is a native integration with all SAP world...
well, you can manage a BW without having a SAP ERP as source system:

Hope it helps!
Bye,

After the most recent update, I can no longer access stand alone GPS services. What's up with that? I am now forced to use google location services which use up some of my data allotment.

ddmathias, I want to make sure all services are working correctly on your phone. What GPS services were you using before the update happened? What kind of issues are you having with the services? Do you get any kind of errors? Please keep us posted.

Can I download the stand-alone Flash Player that does not need a browser? I have ver 11.5 r502 that I d/l last year; would like a newer release.

Can I download the stand-alone Flash Player that does not need a browser? I have ver 11.5 r502 that I d/l last year (11 Feb 2013); would like a newer release.
Can't find much about the standalone viewer, except in the Flash Builder docs, which says a .swf can specify to use it. I can't find a download link.
Thanks, Doug

You can download the standalone player (Projector) from https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you need to make the .swf file association manually.

Service desk for non-sap (please - any inputs are welcome)

hi all,,
I know how to setup service desk for SAP use. Can some one provide me some tips on using solution manager - service desk for non-sap as well? eg: the company wants to use service desk for normal activities as well, as laptop not working, server down, other system issues etc.
The questions I have are -
1) Any specific structure to be created for the non-sap? The way we use in SAP specific environment is to use "SAP Components" while creating tickets. How can we create tickets for non-sap components? What will be the "responsibility" selection?
2) How about the Ibase? For SAP, the ibase already have the data from SMSY. How can I get data for non-sap systems? Anything is SAP to keep the Asset management data (like entries of laptops, servers etc)
Thanks for all the suggestions !!

Hi
You need to go for service desk XT which is the extension of service desk to manage non sap or IT incidents
Check below link
https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/_solutionmanager
Heterogeous system environments are a challenge for IT-service management in any company. The associated complex structures and varying forms of media often make it difficult to realize efficient service processes. With SAP Solution Manager Service Desk - Extended Usage (Service Desk XT), SAP offers a centralized support tool as a single point of access - for service requests and problem tickets related to SAP and non-SAP software.
The Single Point of Access for Support
SAP Solution Manager, which is a standard part of every SAP solution and therefore can be used by all SAP customers, supports users in SAP relevant service requests. The standard function of the service desk is restricted to service requests.
With Service Desk XT, SAP provides an extended support tool, which can be also used for general service requests, for example regarding IT or telecommunication equipment.
This priced add-on does not require additional interfaces to third-party products - the same service requests are used for SAP and non-SAP applications. This simplification is a benefit for your employees.
This solution has been created with IT service providers in mind, especially those which work within a company and currently do not have an IT-service desk application in place or would like to replace an existing system.

"SSO" for non-sap web application using SAPGUI to browse?

I have a web application (non SAP) and the user base are also SAP users in an ABAP system.
To strengthen the authentication in the web app, I wanted to implement SSO
authentication as we pity the users for having to remember so many strong pw's and I
dont like LDAP based pw sync or other technology I dont understand, because then we are
just yet another application with the same pw...
We are having technical problems implementing SSO on the web app side, and are anyway a
bit sceptical about the user admin / role admin assignment if we get it to work.
So I have created a transaction in SAP which browses the web app and the intention is to
send the SAP sy-uname as the web app user. We can control this using s_tcode, and
an own auth object on the WAS side and a check on the session type before the connection is
established. In this sense we are dependent on the SAP concept implemented, but even so:
The role assignment is controlled in the web app itself -> so assume that I am not overly
worried about unauthorized access to the web application, as they would not have any
system role for it as their sy-uname does not exist. (Infact we can monitor this)
The browser on the front end is the SAPGUI with html controls on the SAP side.
I would be interested in knowing whether anyone else has experience with this approach, and
whether there are any areas to be carefull of?
I would also like to know whether this is a strategic error?
Kind regards,
Julius

Hi Julius,
well, if that web application would run on the same ABAP backend system then the solution described in <a href="http://service.sap.com/~iron/fm/011000358700000431401997E/0612670">SAP Note 612670</a> would be applicable:
a so-called "Re-entrance ticket" (based on the "SAP logon ticket" SSO proceedings) is issued, transported via the SAPGUI connection and back to the system via the invoked HTML control.
But for non-SAP web applications that does not help.
In that case only X.509 client certificates can be used for SSO. Actually, the web application could then also be invoked directly (independent from the SAPGUI session). The user is authenticated based on the X.509 client certificate - and not based on the ABAP userID (of the SAPGUI session).
Well, if you don't mind the effort you could also use the "SAP Logon Ticket evaluation library" (sapssoext, see <a href="http://service.sap.com/~iron/fm/011000358700000431401997E/0304450">SAP Note 304450</a>) to evalute the SAP logon ticket externally. You'll then need to have a "stub application" at the ABAP side that triggers the http redirect to your external web application. Not a nice solution but a possible one.
In the future SAML browser artifacts would be an option (preferable to integrate non-SAP applications). But currently that's not available (for NWAS ABAP).
Cheers, Wolfgang

SSO FOR NON SAP APPLICATIONS

SSO for non sap applications in EP on which siteminder sso is integrated
Posted: Aug 28, 2006 7:09 AM Reply E-mail this post
Hi ,
we have implemented Siteminder on SAP PORTAL 6 SP16 for authentication.I would like to integrate non sap application in Portal.I could not find any documentaion for setting up non sap application's in portal on which siteminder external authentication is implemented.
can anybody help for getting step by step document.
diff rewards to be given

Hi,
if you have access to service.sap.com via S-User, you can download "SAP Enterprise Portal Security Guide" in the portal section. It has dedicated descriptions about SSO-Settings, also about netegrity.
You can also search help.sap.com about "SSO" which gives you overview descriptions.
On SAP Service Net, there is also an pdf "Integrating Security functions" in the Netweaver 2004s Portal section, where the description of the Java API for the PDK is included. This is very helpfull for coding.

Solution Manager System Monitoring for non SAP system

Dear Support,
I have configured the CCMS Agent (SAPCCMSR) for non-SAP system (Windows 2008R2).
The system information (e.g. CPU, Memory, Disks etc) has already showed in RZ20 of Central Monitoring system (e.g. Solution Manager).
How can I do to configure to display these information in the Alert Inbox tab on System Monitoring Workcenter?
Best regards,
Fan Hung

Hi,
Have you defined and added corresponding logical systems for the respective satellite systems?
Here is the sequence of steps you've to do:
in SMSY:
1) Define server, DB, Systems
2) Generate READ, TMW, TRUSTED RFCs to the satellite systems
3) define logical systems and assign the satellite system to it
in Solution_Manager:
1) define new solution
2) add the logical system into the solution
If these steps are successful, you should be able to see the satellite system in SYSTEM MONITORING in Solution_Manager.
Have you already done these steps?
After performing these steps:
Solution_Manager>choose relevant solution>operations setup>Solution Monitoring>System monitoring>Activate monitoring> choose the system and activate monitoring.
Your system will then appear.
Does this help any way?

Implementation strategy for non sap sources

hai friends,
could anyone help with the
'implementation strategy for non sap sources'.

Hi,
Its the same as with R3 sources.Only difference is you'll have different underlying interfaces. Non SAP systems can either be flat files, ETL systems or legacy systems using ETL connection, Oracle or Java systems XML, etc.
But your stategy would remain the same only per your non sap source system, the transactions and the ways you configure your datasources would differ.

'Error Occured in the Source System' for Non SAP system

We have an Info Package which is getting the data from the Source System 'DOCP' and it has failed due to 'Error Occured in the Source System'.Since the source system is Non SAP system there is no option 'Replicate Data Sources'.So,First I activated the transfer rules by the program and ran the package again .But again the same error occured.
Please suggest me how to proceed for this error for Non SAP Systems?

Hi,
Check the RFC connection in SM59 and reactivate the source system again.
Hope this helps..

Can we use both Stand alone and Extended classic in one SRM system

Hi All,
Our client is now using Stand alone SRM system with back-end R/3 FI-CO system. Now they want to go Extended classic scenario for few product categories.
         Would it be possible to use both in one SRM system? If possible could you please provide what are the sequential steps to do this?
             Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ram

Hi Ramesh,
How did you end up solving your problem, as i have the same scenario. Did you use this BADI (
SRM Server->Business Add-Ins->Control Extended Classic Scenario->Activate Extended Classic Scenario)? Based on my reading, it seems this BADI is relevant to switch between extended classic and classic scenarios.
From what i understand, we can control the standalone scenario via the define backend system configuration (SAP SRM -> SRM Server -> Technical Basic Settings -> Define Backend System for Product Category). In my scenario, I have one set of product categories, so i will likely need to implement this BADI (BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS, method:   DETERMINE_LOGSYS - SAP SRM -> SRM Server -> Business Add-Ins ->Shopping Carts and Requirement Items -> Determine Backend System / Company Code) in order to determine the correct backend system based on company/plant for example.
Did you then leave the extended classic scenario activated (IMG --> Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server-> Cross-Application Basic Settings->
Activate Extended Classic Scenario)?
Or how did you achieve both standalone and extended classic using one SRM server?
cheers,
AD

How can I get my stand alone Lightroom 5 to work in the Develop function? It's disabled

My Lightroom 5.6 is stand alone. I once subscribed to creative cloud, but I cancelled it because it was too complicated to use. Now, somehow the develop module of my stand alone 5.6 lightroom is disabled.It says please renew your to reactivate your membership. My software is stand alone, and I don't want to reactive creative cloud. I want to get rid of it. How do I do this?

You get the develop module to function properly by installing the standalone installation of Lightroom. If the develop module is disabled you still have the creative cloud installation. It will have to be removed. You can download from here:
Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
Performing this uninstall/reinstall will have no impact on your images or the work you have done in Lightroom. The catalog and your images are left intact.

ICal is completely gone and I can't find a stand alone app.

I have officially lost ical and these are the things I have done:
-Searched the entire computer for the application.
-Tried to reinstall the software bundle on my installation discs.
-Look for a stand alone application online.
-Reinstall 10.4.5
I am a .mac user if that info makes any difference.
I still have no iCal and it's making me crazy. Please help...

Hi, me too. Somehow I updated on my iMac from1.55 to 2.0.3, but not on my iBook. I am not sure what I did then, but I cannot reinstall 1.55 on my iBook which runs10.4.5 because it won't take it from the Tiger disk. I cannot find a stand alone installer for 2.0.3
The funny thing is that w hen I run iSynCal it says "calendars updated succesfully", but when I look in the Home/Library/Calendars folder, I only see my old ones (not new ones I have added on my iMac since htis problem) and I can't open them - because I don't have the app!
Any help appreciated!

Where can I download a stand alone flash player?

I'm looking for a stand alone flash player that I can scrub video and audio with. NOT Elmedia player. Thanks!

By stand-alone I mean a program that's not an Adobe product but still plays Flash and swf files. By scrub audio and video files, I mean drag a cursor along a timeline that runs the duration of the video. There is a "stand-alone" player that can be accessed from the Flash program, but it does not allow you to scrub.
