Concept of SAP* in Enterprise Portal

Hi,
Can any one tell me, what is the significance of SAP* in enterprise portal? Is it as powerful as SAP* is R/3? Is it explicitly created or comes with installation of EP? How is it activated on EP?
Edited by: Pranav Timbadia on May 14, 2009 12:59 PM

SAP* is used when the administrator password is locked and there.
At that point of time this SAP* user is enabled and using this we can login the portal and create a user with super admin rights.
After that again we disable the SAP*, then only others can login.
There is nothing to do with SAP R3 system or other backednd systems with SAP*.
Check the below wiki for more information

SSO (single sign on) on NetWeaver 7.0 Enterprise Portal based on spnego with Microsoft Active Directory

Hi,
we are using SAP Netweaver Enterprise Portal 7.0 (SP25) based on Windows 2008 R2/Oracle 11g.
When we setup the Portal, we used the UME of the ECC - ABAP.
The portal is used internally only.
Now we want to provide SSO.
User authenticate against Windows Active Directory (Windows 2003).
We thought SSO via spnego would be the best solution.
Any better alternates, we should use?
We are following the SAP documentation:
SAP-Bibliothek - Benutzerauthentifizierung und Single Sign-On
We still want to create users in ABAP and assign them the portal roles. LDAP access should only have read access, to verify the security token from Active Directory.
When we setup the portal from scratch using ABAP as its UME, in the system configuration, LDAP can't be selected/add as data source.
In case we understand the documentation correctly, we would now need to add LDAP via the configtool for read access.
What is not clear to us, when we active now LDAP via config tool, if we would now lose the ABAP connection.
Is there a tutorial for SSO Netweaver 7.0 EP, like for EP 7.3, available?
In 7.3 SSO is pretty simple to get it running, thanks to the many tutorials here and on the internet.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards
Carlos Behlau

Hi,
I was able to generate the key via ktab program.
But when I am enable SSO, nothing is happening when I try to log-on via SSO to the portal.
I installed WebDiag tool on the portal server and ran trace.
The users are located in domain: company.com of activate directory.
The Java AS are located in domain: sap.company.com of activate directory.
The sap.company.com domain acts as child of company.com.
When I check the WebDiag trace, I see for the SPNegoLoginModule - the entry "... no key (etype: 23) for realm sap.company.com available ..."
I would except company.com as realm key, as the keytabs have been generated on the domain controller of company.com.
Is it possible to get SSO with child domain running?
Based on the statement of the network folks, child and father domain having a trust.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards
Carlos

Career ladder in Netweaver EnterPrise Portal

Hi ,
Can any one advise me on whats the carreer ladder in SAP Netweaver Enterprise Portal ? i started working as ABAP developer and now get trained in Enterprise Portal , So i wanted to ask weather to go for portal ahead or continue with ABAP..

Hi Gitesh,
Good... you have got this opportunity to trained on SAP Enterprise portal. This is a niche skill and very high demand in market because all SAP systems are integrated to SAP EP to get one portal for end users.
This is a good opportunity and you would get high salary when you have 2 to 3 years of experience.
If you meet most of the guys who are working in SAP EP they were from ABAP and cross trained in SAP EP.
So this is excellent opportunity for you to grow.

Enterprise Portal Sneak Preview, quick installation guide

Hello,
Two or three months ago I have installed the SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal Sneak Preview SP9. For this purpose I have used the quick installation guide which formerly could be found under the following web-address:

Some of my colleagues would like to install the same release now but the quick installation guide is not available any more.
Can anybody tell me where the quick installation guide is or which installation guide I can use instead for SP9?
Thanks!

Hey Guys,
I have mailed it to your ID's.
In case anyone else needs it, you can mail me directly:

SAP GUI - SAP Business client - Portal Comaprison

Hi ,
We would like to know what are the advantages and disadvantages of NW Business client over portal and normal SAP GUI in all the aspects such as development,performance .
what is the general/rule of thumb difference between development for SAP BC and Portal ?
How easy can developments be transferred from Portal to SAP GUI and vice versa ?
Are there any language specific implications for these objects ?
Are there any differences for development objects that are developed for SAP GUI and SAP BC ?
Are there any security related implications when using code that is created for SAP GUI on SAP BC and vice versa ?
Are there any additional security flags that need to be checked when switching from one to the other ?
While I cannot have more than 1 active SAP BC session (using the local installed version) can I run more than 1 with the web based SAP BC?
Thanks
Kumar.

What are the Basic Features of Enterprise Portal

What are the default, given or otherwise features of SAP netweaver/enterprise portal. I do not want to redo a function or feature/template of the feature/basic iview (portlet) already exists. And where I can find/get these features.
Thanks.

Hi Joshua,
yes, there is preconfigured content (templates) in the portal.
Have a look at [SAP Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/5a/0338f80c0b11d7b84800047582c9f7/frameset.htm].
You'll find two entries in the left hand navigation: "Pre-configured Roles" and "Standard Portal Content".
The information is not that detailed but you might get a first impression.
Besides the standard portal content there are so called Business Packages, which provide pre-configured iViews, pages, worksets and roles for specific business processes / scenarios. You can find them [here in SDN|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/contentportfolio].

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

SSO for SAP and Non-SAP applications without Enterprise Portal

Dear all,
Is it possible to implement SSO for both SAP and non-SAP applications without involvement of EP at all?
I have gone through this link.
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e5/4344b6d24a05408ca4faa94554e851/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e5/4344b6d24a05408ca4faa94554e851/frameset.htm</a>
But I still i am not able to get the precise answer on how to enable SSO for both SAP and non-SAP applications without EP.
We have decided not to implement EP in first phase of SAP implementation. But we need to enable SSO for other SAP and Non-SAP applications.
A detailed description on how to deal this kind of scenarios will be helpful.
Thanks.

A client of our's uses SAP Enterprise Portal, and is using the SAP SSO, which is implemented with tickets, and requires the use of SAPSECULIB. My company provides an application for this client, and our application in hosted in our data center for the client, as a Software as a Service application, obviously across the internet. Our client, which owns a SAP license, has asked that we support the SAP SSO as a non-SAP SSO application. The client user's SSO ticket will be created from SAP EP, and then passed across the internet to our application, and we are to use that SSO ticket as an authentication ticket to our application. I beleive I know how to do this work technically, having reviewed the SAP document named: "Dynamic Library for Verifying SSO Tickets in Third-Party Software" Specification Version 2.00 December 2005.
My question is, does my company have the right to use the SAPSECULIB? Where is the official download and license download, that indicates we can download this library, and use it to support a SAP customer? We do not own a SAP license. Thank you for your help. I have searched many places in SAP support.

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

Performance issue of BI reports in SAP Enterprise portal

Dear Friends,
We have integrated BI reports with SAP Enterprise portal 7.0.Reports are running properly But the issue is reports are taking more time to dispsaly its content and leading it to performance effect.
In Bex ( BI side) reports performance is little better than SAP EP platform. BI Team also looking for ways to improve performance at BI side.
Could you please share your valuable ideas to improve the performance at SAP EP side also ..
Thanks and Regards
Ratnakar Reddy

Hi ratnakar,
The first step is to identify which component is causing the performance problem. Run your report in the portal but try appending the string &PROFILING=X in the end of the URL. This will generate BI statistics which you can use to see which component (Java stack, ABAP stack, Database) is causing the performance issue.
Hope this helps.
