Collaboration with vendor via Portal?

Hi everyone :
   I meet a problem about collaboration with vendor. Our customer has lots of vendor ,and our customer expect that their vendor could query related R/3 report real-time via Portal on Internet .
   I had done the SSO between Portal and R/3, and the user who had Portal user and R/3 both could access R/3 via Portal easily. We can create user for vendor in Portal easily, but it is impossible that we create user for all of vendors in R/3 , because of R/3 user need to pay for license. So vendors could not query R/3 report via Portal now .
    My problem :
    1. Vendors can't query R/3 report via Portal now.
Is there anyone met this problem ever , and How to solve this problem ?
    2.On the assumption that our vendor can query R/3 report via Portal now, how can we control the authorization that certain vendor could query his data only, can't query other vendor's data ?
    Any advice and discuss is welcome!
Best Regards,
Jianguo Chen

Crawl ifs using ultrasearch with results via portal

I would like to be able to crawl ifs and have results via portal.
The only thing I can find concerning making ultrasearch crawl ifs is this, http://otn.oracle.com/products/ultrasearch/htdocs/FAQ.html, which has the statement "you can crawl Oracle Files with Ultra Search through HTTP - it is just another web data source - or database crawling. However, only public documents can be crawled through HTTP."
So, I set up a web datasource using the url to ifs login page.
Does not work. Does anyone know how to do this? Is there a document I am missing?
Thanks for any ideas.

You are correct. This is what I found out:
"Crawling of iFS is not supported in ultrasearch 9.0.2. It is a new feature of 9.0.4"
HOWEVER:
"ultrasearch 9.0.4 only runs with iAS 9.0.4 so you would have to upgrade both. According to my records these products have not been released yet and are due sometime later in the year."

Conserving filename with upload via portal form into blob type

Hi
I have a little question. Is there any chance to conserve a filename, which was uploaded into blob column via portal form and then create link for this file with the same name?
null

Vlasta,
You certanly can save the original filename in your form, to do that you will need to add a FILENAME varchar2 column to your table and write a simple Javascript (search this forum for examples) to copy the fileselect value with onChange event. So, when you submit the form with your file the original name will be stored in you table.
Thanks,
Dmitry

Error with passwords via Portal and LDAP

When we change a user's password via portal, either by the user or administrator, the password gets changed, but then when the user tries to log in again, it says the password is expired, and no longer allows changing the password.
The log has the following errors

How to share/manage UWL/KM and collaboration with TWO consumer portals?

I'm working with a customer who is configuring a large enterprise landscape consisting of 2 federated portals with the two consumer portals sharing info.
Federated portal A is the primary corporate portal with respective producers.
Federated portal B is a regional producer portal with multiple back end producers.
IF they wish to configure UWL, I realize they can do this on each consumer portal. But how can someone logging into portal A see all their work items from UWL on A and UWL on B without creating two iviews (one for each UWL)? I bascially want to be able to share the UWL from one consumer portal to another. I haven't seen this in any docs, though. Anyone have experience with this?
Likewise, what is the best way to share collaboration rooms and other related services? Should they be configured on the consumer side of each federated portal, and if so - the same question arises - how to share the collaboration data between the two consumers.

Hi David,
we faced your first issue some months ago and found out that there is only the possibility to use 2 UWL iViews.
Maybe this has changed in the last releases.
HTH,
Carsten

CATS / CATM with Vendor via IDOC and XCBL

Hello,
We are implementing the Vendor Time Confirmation Scenario using CATS / CATM.
The data is transmitted from a Vendors ERP System.
We are using the IDoc CATS_INSERT02 to create the CATS Entry in SAP, but have no idea what XCBL Format the Vendor should be sending.
They have no preference and are asking to provide the format and schema.
Options we are considering:
1. Use the SAP IDoc CATS_INSERT02 Structure
2. Use the OrderConfirmation XCBL Structure
3. Use the Invoice XCBL Structure
Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Tim

Hello,
Please let us know the Error Log or ERROR Message for this Issue when you carry out this CAT2
Also Please check this SPRO

SAPGUI for Windows via Portal - problem with frame

We are launching SAPGUI for Windows via Portal to drive single sign-on via AD. Our problem is that when SAPGUI launches, it is contained within an IE browser frame that causes some of the SAPGUI screens to not fit on the screen well. Those same screens fit just fine if we launch SAPGUI directly.
Is there any way to launch SAPGUI from Portal, with SSO enabled, but without the IE frame around it?

Lonny,
The best way to authenticate users when they logon using SAP GUI for Windows, is to use SNC authentication in SAP GUi. Then, the browser iview will launch the GUI and the GUI will authenticate the user using their AD credentials issued during the Windows logon. You will need to setup an SNC library on both the ABAP system which the user is logged onto, and the workstation where SAP GUI is installed.
If you don't use SNC, and you just launch SAP GUI for Windows from browser, then an SSO2 ticket is used to authenticate the user to the ABAP stack, and this is not secure due to the fact that the SAP GUI session which is used to pass the SSO2 ticket is not protected - anybody can intercept the SAP GUI session, take the SSO2 ticket from this traffic and logon as that user - clearly this is bad security and needs SNC to make it secure.
Thanks,
Tim

Supplier collaboration with SNC

Hi Gurus,
We intend to use Supplier collaboration with SNC, where plant will share component plan with supplier and supplier will comeback with constrained component plan and based on which plant will modify production plan.
These are the steps we have done:-
1) Created BP as Organization for Plant and Supplier
2) Created BP as person and assigned to plant and supplier respectively
3) Extended product to the supplier and created TLane
4) We are able to login into web portal for supplier view with login and password maintained.
issue are:-
1) We understand that, component forecast will come from APO and it will come to as demand. If we see Demand Tab and look at Order Forecast Monitor - > Order forecast details, it asks for selection of SKU and Location. If we select our SKU and vendor Location created, it says Invalid Selection......Not sure if we have missed anything.
2) When vendor will confirm the plan, which key figure he will modify?? which Tab we have to refer.
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks,
jaideep

Hi Gurus,
Yes, the OSS helps and we are able to see product location in the Order Forecast details screen.
We are checking Key figure " Supplier Planned Receipt" which supplier will use to modify his plan against customer requirement.
Wondering this key figure is Non Editable for our case....then how supplier will enter his constraint plan?? Any help
Are we missing any customization to make key figures editable/non editable like Planning Book in standard APO?? plz help

LSO integration with Skillsoft via PI - Please help

Hello All,
I am working on LSO integration with Skillsoft via PI. I have already referred the PDF XI Configuration for SkillSoft Integration and also referred to the existing discussion posts in SDN
The flow of interface in my scenario is
Portal(FrontEnd) <-> ECC(BSP Application at Backend) <-> PI <---> External Learning Vendor(SkillSoft).
1) Commnication is from SAP LSO System to Third Party(Skill Soft) through PI(XI).
2) It will be synchronous call.
3 ) From portal user should be able to register, book,Lauch, or Track the course and will get response back to SAP LSO system/portal from Skill Soft.
4) Portal is the frontend and backend is the BSP application(ZHCM_Learning).
Can you please let me know the details how to handle this scenario and pass the parameters like customerid, assetid,courseid etc to PI(XI). Also let me know what would be the best approach to follow in this scenario..Is there any BAPI / RFC available for this scenario or need to go via proxy.
If we need to go via proxy.. how to pass data to PI as soon as user clicks on any actions(like registering/launching or booking the course) from portal. BSP is the backend application(ZHCM_Learning). Please guide me if someone has already implemented the similar scenario.
Thanks

Failed to send mail to external domain via portal

Hi Gurus,
By following the configuraion instructions in SAP library - Collaboration - Groupware - Installing and Configuring E-Mail Connectivity, I managed to send mail to recipients who reside in same domain e.g. [email protected] via portal.
However, I failed to send mail to external domain e.g. [email protected]. I got the following error message:
The mail could not be sent to the specified recipients com.sap.ip.collaboration.gw.impl.transport.javamail.exception.MailSendException: The mail could not be sent to the specified recipients

Please help.
Thanks alot.

Hi Ajey,
Thanks for your reply. I had tried your suggestion but same problem occurred with same error output.
Actually, I encounterred this error message before in my Microsoft Outlook, where System Admin returned me a mail saying that, my mail was undeliverable with the same error message. But this can be solved by applying the Internet Email Account Setting - Outgoing Server - My outgoing server (SMTP) require authentication.
So I am wondering,
1) This problem is caused by SMTP server?
2) Is there any workaround (like the Outlook Setting) I can configure in Portal?
Do you have any idea?
Thanks,
HauChee

The future of Collaboration in SAP NW Portal?

Hi all,
I have a mandate from management to implement SAP Collaboration Rooms in our SAP NW Enterprise Portal (NW 7.0); basically, to increase the usability of EP for business users. However, I have had a hard time convincing myself (and thus management) that SAP Collaboration Rooms would be the tool/product to use going forward (in terms of collaboration).
First of all, maybe it's just me but I noticed that SAP have gradually separated and dropped the "C" from "KMC". Then, 'collaboration' is hardly mentioned (as a feature/functionality) in portal's roadmap/release strategy, for releases after NW 7.0; in fact, the latest release strategy for LE only mentioned Duet Enterprise briefly.
I went to the SDN's main page of 'Collaboration'
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-collaboration#section4
only to find the 'Update on SAP NetWeaver Collaboration Services - Status Quo and Outlook' blog, which is supposed to provide up-to-date information, dated back in 2008.
And then I found this blog (with a footnote on KMC)
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/17524
to be very interesting.
So, if I understand correctly, SAP expects its 'partner ecosystem to deliver solutions based on Duet Enterprise' (quote from the release strategy) and is encouraging its customers to use third-party software for collaboration such as MS SharePoint, etc.
It'd be much appreciated if we can have an official confirmation from SAP about the future of SAP Collaboration Rooms in NW Portal and some suggestions as to what would be the best alternatives for its customers if we are to continue using SAP NW Portal.
With all due respects, this thread is meant to have an open discussion (not to blame anyone or any product) and I'm seeking advice from experienced SDNers; so, all helpful suggestions are much welcomed/appreciated.
Best regards,
Dao

The dual support of server and client object models are required.
- the CSOM provides sandbox isolation, support for SharePoint as a SAAS platform (Office 365), and provides support for interoperability with other languages (via JSON, web services, etc)
- the SSOM provides on-prem installations with more integration capabilities than can be provided via app models/etc. For example, I'll be developing a custom claims provider for ADFS integration starting Monday, which can ONLY be installed as a farm solution.
Microsoft has been focused on updating SharePoint with newer server-side technologies. WebForms has been outdated for a while now, and SP has been working to include newer technologies such as MVC. This is evident in some places, such as search result templates,
which have a very MVC-like approach.

Fetching data in R/3 via portal application(JSPDYNPage)

Hello Everyone,
I want to fetch data in R/3 server via portal application(JSPDYNPAGE) & display that data as an output of the portal application in TABLEVIEW format. Can anyone guide me on this (I:e-How to connect to R/3 server via portal component & fetch data & display the same). any similar application developed for a reference will be of great help.
Thanks,
Chetan

Hi Chetan,
I hope you know how to create a JSP Dyn Page, anyway I will explain it briefly.
Open NWDS->File->New->Create a portal application project->Specify the project name
right click on the project->New->Create a new portal application object->Portal component->Select JSP dyn page-(By default it creates class and all)->this is available under description on the right column-
Now goto the Java page->see the functions->attach zip and jar files(HTMLB plugin)
->Right click on the project->goto properties->Java build path->Add external jars->Select com.sap.portal.htmlbbridge.zip and htmlb.jar
This is how JSP page is created.
Now we want to do establish connection with R/3. That I will discuss in the next session.
Award points if this was helpful......
All the best for you

DUNNING(Reminder to vendor via email)

Hello All,
I need your help in one issue. I am working on Dunning(Reminder to vendor via email).
I have maintained output type as MAHN with medium 'external send'.
In Delivery tab 1st reminder , I have set as 1- i.e. 1 day before delivery date.
I have released the message via ME91F.
Suppose PO qty is 100, Vendor has send 75 qty. Now if i release second reminder after 15 days of delivery date, whether the reminder will go for remaining 25 nos? Currently I am trying it on standard output .
Also please explain me this whole process(Dunning-Reminder to vendor) in detail as I'm trying this for the first time.
Thanks in advance,
Piyush

Hello,
Yes reminders will be sent to the vendor only for the open quantity, not the total. The whole process for reminders is based on what you have maintained as reminder days.
This can be set in the PO itself, PIR or in material master via the PVK.
Example is below on concept.
You have defined the following reminder/urging levels in the PO item:
1st urging message: 10 days
2nd urging message: 20 days
3rd urging message: 30 days
The material is to be delivered on 14.05. If the reference date (in ME91F) is 23.05, the PO item is not selected. If the reference date is 24.05, the item is suggested for the issue of a message urging delivery (expediting).
Hope that helps.
Thanks.

How can I organize multiple iWorks documents shared with me via iCloud?

Hi,
I'm just exploring iWorks for iCloud beta (i4ib). A friend shared a Numbers spreadsheet with me via iCloud. I can open it and edit it as expected. So far, so good. The two of us plan to work on several spreadsheets like this over the next two months. Going back to an old email to retrieve the link to each file when we need it "just ain't Apple" if you'll allow me to paraphrase a quote from Happy Feet.
We would like to be able to use iCloud to organize the spreadsheets *someone has shared with us* so we could access them using the same Spreadsheet Manager tool in iCloud that we would use for any other spreadsheets *we have created and stored on iCloud*. So far I haven't been able to discern how to do so and cannot tell if this is a supported use or not. Does anyone know how to do this? Have I just managed to miss it in the hints and help available?
In the mean time I've copied the a link for each of the spreadsheets he shared with me to a folder on my Safari favorites bar. That work around is suitable for very small collaboration exercises but far from optimal for anyone who envisions using iCloud for collaboration on a larger scale. I thought I'd ask the question before I tried to submit this as feedback to Apple.
Regards,
Elise
PS - I used *bold* to emphasize the difference between a spreadsheet I "own" because I created it and one created by someone else and shared with me.

What you want is not yet possible, so you should use the feedback channel to ask Apple to add it. If Googledocs is better at this (I think it is from what I have read), you should make that point.

Hi Mahesh,
You need to setup a Single Sign On between SAP Portal and ECC system where yoy are doing the development.
Ask basis team to setup the single sign on and usually this is the job done by Basis teams. Refer the below link to get some idea on SSO setup:
