Hi Neil,
See https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloaditem?rid=/library/uuid/6055f523-df6e-2910-f0bf-acccbb0a7d37 (troubleshooting guide): <b>Kernel dump while generating Web Services and Simple Transformation (XSLT) and problems when upgrading the NSP system from SP8 to SP9.</b>
Download the patch (two files) and overwrite the existing ones with them - that solved the problem for me. This is a direct link to the zipfile:

How to connect SAP R/3- System with SAP NetWeaver Portal (2004s)?

Hello to all,
sorry, can someone help me? How can I connect SAP R/3- System with SAP NetWeaver Portal (2004s)?
Thanks and regards,
Galyna

Hi,
In previous link contain this info
This describes how to connect an SAP R/3 system to SAP NetWeaver Portal using an iView
1)      Go to System Administration
2)      Go to System Configuration
3)      Go to Portal Content (Right Side Panel), open that folder.
4)      Right Click on Portal Content, a Panel is displayed select "System (from Template)".
5)      That will display a new view on right side, now select "SAP system using dedicated application server" from
the existing templates. (Other templates are possible - for example, load balanced or through a SAProuter connection string).
For this exercise, we'll use the simplest type.
6)      Choose next
7)      Give the System Name and System Id (which are mandatory fields) incase you want to give any brief notes
about the system then give them in the "Description" field.
8)      Open the Newly Created System.
9)      Now when you want to create a New System, you have to fill four Properties they are:
"Connector" - contains basic connectivty details
"Internet transaction Server (ITS) - if you wish to use SAPGUI for HTML and/or IACs",
"Web Application Server" - if you wish to access BSPs and/or Web Dynpro for ABAP and
"User Management".
You also need at least one "System Alias" has to be defined from the Display drop down menu.
Make sure you have set end user access in the Permissions drop down menu to all users who need to access the system
10) Select "Connector" property, now fill the required fields such as:
a)      Application Host (should be fully qualified hostname) - Give the R/3 "Application Name",
which can be obtained from the SAP Logon Pad (check what R/3 system you are using, right click on it , go to the properties,
it will open a window which has the Application Server Name.
b)      Logical System Name - Give the logical name as defined in the backend system
c)      SAP Client - Check the Client in the backend system and give the appropriate number (3 digits)
d)      SAP System ID(SID)* - Check the R/3 properties and give the check for System ID
e)      System Type* - Since we are connecting to R/3, select SAP_R3 system.
f)       System Number - This is a two digit number that you can find in the SAP Logon Pad
11) Select "Internet transaction Server (ITS)" property, now fill the required fields like
a)      ITS Description à Give some Description
b)      ITS Host Name - Same as "Application Host" of R/3 (when integrated ITS) and should be attached with the
port number of ITS Server (to get port number detailed description is given below). ex: hostname : port number
c)      ITS Path - To get the path along with the port number you have to Log on to R/3 system. Use the
Transaction Code "SICF", it opens a new window go to:
      default_host -> sap -> bc -> gui -> sap -> its -> webgui -> SAP GUI for HTML -> right click on
that and click "Test Service'. This will open a new window, on the address bar you will find the "port number", and
the path something like (/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui). Use the path after the port number.
d)      ITS Protocol - There are two protocols "http" & "https", select the appropriate protocol which is
visible when you opened "Test Service" window.
12) Select "Web Application Server" property , now fill the required fields like
a)      Web AS Description -> Give some Description
b)      Web AS Host Name - same as ITS Host Name
c)      Web AS Path - usually /sap/bc/bsp/sapd)*
Web AS Protocol - should be same as the ITS Protocol.
13)   Select "User Management" property, now fill the required fields like
a)      Authentication Ticket Type - Since we are not using SSO leave the field
empty i.e. put in select mode. (Please note that longer term you will probably want to use SSO)
b)      Logon Method - Select UIDPW.
c)      User Mapping Type - In case you have administration rights then you choose "admin" or in case you
just have user rights then choose "user", better go for "admin/user".
14)   Since all the required fields are filled appropriately now create a System Alias name, this can be done by following steps:
a) go to Display -> Select "System Aliases" give some Alias Name, let's call it "SAP_R/3"
15) Now that System is created we have to create a iView which will display the given Transaction Code.
16) Go To "Content Administration".
17) Go To "Portal Content".
18) Go to Portal Content (Right Side Panel), open that folder
19) Right Click on Portal Content, a Panel is displayed select "New" -> iView
20) Select iView template, click next
21) Select "SAP Transaction iView" from the list of templates available. Click next.
22) Give the iView name and iView ID. Incase you want to give any brief notes about the iView then give it in "Description" field. Click next
23)   Select "SAP GUI for HTML" radio button. Click next
24) Now select the system which you have create "SAP_R/3", give some Transaction Code, say SE12 (Dictionary Display). Click next and Finish.
25) Now Preview the iView
26) You will see a new Window where in SE12 Dictionary Display window is displayed.

Senthil K.

Creating web service system for Visual Composer

Hello,
I seem to have made some changes that made my unable to create web service systems for Visual Composer.
The change I made is in NetWeaver Administration > Configuration > Application Resources > WebServicesFactory, I added the Configuration Property "UseCacheByDefault" with Boolean value = true.
After this, if I create a web service system in Enterprise Portal, the Connection Tests fail. In Visual Composer when I define a web service system, the error I am getting is: "Connector Factory not found for value WebServicesFactory".
I have tried to delete the UseCacheByDefault property I added as well as restart the server but I am still getting the error.
However when I test my web service using the Web Services Navigator, I am not getting any problems. So my guess is the problem lies with the connection factory.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks.

Hello,
Since creating WS system in the portal resulted with failed connection test, the issue has nothing to do with VC.
I'm just guessing, but try to configure proxy in the J2EE engine.
If that doesn't help I suggest you raise this question in the portal forum.
Best regards,
Shay

Is SAP Query (SQ01) supported by Visual Composer?

Do you know if it is possible to easily integrate a query developed in an ABAP backend system via SAP Query (transaction SQ01) in Visual Composer?

Feedback thread for "How To Design a SAP NetWeaver - Based System Landscape

I have just published a RIG How To Guide called [How To Design a SAP NetWeaver - Based System Landscape|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50a9952d-15cc-2a10-84a9-fd9184f35366]. You can read my [blog |http://www.sdn.sap.com/?blog=/cs/weblog/view/wlg/8877]on it. This thread is collect feedback and discussion on the Guide.

Hi Matt!
This is definitely interesting reading and a lot of projects I've been in could have benefitted from it had it been carefully read beforehand by some of the involved parties.
What I like especially is the fact that this is not only for technical consultants (who should know about most of these things anyway) but for the people closer to the business who need to find agreements with the technical guys.
Good job...
Jörg
Some comments to what I read:
I noticed that you use the term 'server virtualization' (section 3.3.1) quite generally. Maybe it would be worth introducing the term 'server consolidation' (which you use later in the document) already in this early chapter. My experience shows that (especially recently) a lot of customers are interested in 'virtual servers' (meaning a virtual server with an OS installed separately), not really knowing what they're talking about and often better advised to use 'server consolidation' (one OS, many SIDs). These two concepts are similar in terms of sharing hardware resources, but quite different in terms of the implications toward administration.
In section 4.2.1.3 you mention (in brackets) the Usage type to which the client belongs for the Business Explorer and the J2SE Adapter Engine if I understood that correctly. There is no UT mentioned for the other clients and there is no explanation on what the bits in brackets are supposed to mean. (I first expected the 'BeX' abbreviation when I saw something in brackets...)

Data Service System In Visual Composer 7.1

Hello,Experts:
Recently ,i am focusing on the mirgration function of SAP NetWeaver,and visual composer is among them .
In netweaver 2004s enterpise portal ,i have done the system connection between Enterpise Portal and ECC and BW ,and the system alias can be accessed in visual composer .Both the bapi and infocube can be got by the system alias .The Visual Composer Application based on the backend data service is ok .
However ,i have registry the ecc system in CE Portal and its version is SAP Composte Environment SP5 .I can check out the system registry is ok . However ,when i open the Visual Composer on the CE Portal ,i couldnt find the system alias that i have registried .It is blank .Plus,we havent install SLD on the CE Java Server ,and solution manager is put forward to take the place of sld .
Can anybody help me out ? The problem has any relationship with the Enterpise Service Repository ?
Thanks for your help in advance .
Eleanor

Hi Eleanor,
first of all if you want to use SAP BW in Visual Composer for CE then you have to install Enhancement Package 1. SAP BW resp. queries, planning functions and so on is only supported with VC 7.11 (EhP1 for CE). I also recommend you to set up the SLD in your CE system resp. that it works as a "slave SLD" when you have an existing SLD in your landscape. There are wizards available in the NetWeaver Administrator.
Go to http://<host>:<port>/nwa to login into NetWeaver Administrator.
Navigate to Configuraton --> Scenario --> Configuration Wizard and choose the Initial setup of functional unit SLD.
If you want to have access to BAPIs there are two ways to access the system. You can define a portal system object to access the ECC or you can define in NWA a RFC connection to access ECC.

Connecting SAP Netweaver ABAP Trial Version from 2 Laptops

Hi All,
I have a scenario where in I have installed SAP NetWeaver ABAP Trial 7.1 version on one Laptop. All the Presentation and application server are also installed on the same laptop and everything is working fine. Here NetWeaver is installed on Windows Vista.
Now, I would like to connect to SAP NetWeaver from another Laptop. In the other laptop i have Windows XP installed. I will install the SAP Front end and will supply all the application server details.
Is this approach proper or do i need to do something more to it?
It would be great if someone can provide some more information on this. I checked the Forum for this but as of now i couldn't find much resources or discussion on this.
Thanks and Regards,
Samantak.

Hi Martin,
yes. It's true the SAP is still a client Server Application, but is SAP NW AS ABAP Trial version also supports - multiple systems?
If yes how does it do this? What are all the configuration settings required?
I have checked the SAP GUI for the main laptop where my NW AS is installed and found that the application server is configured as localhost. If there is no proper address of the application server then how to connect it with the system from another laptop?
Hope you got my point. But thanks for answering.
Waiting to hear more from you soon
Thanks,
Samantak.

Hello All,
I am trying to access my JSPM.
When I execute the go script, I get this message:
Current log directory is /usr/sap/<SID>DVEBGMGS02/j2ee/JSPM/log/log_2009_08_01_10_24_43

Please help me..

Edited by: Suresh Kalagarla on Aug 1, 2009 2:12 PM

Hai,
Please check 'xclock' to verify that your export display is working fine or not.
Also check the SDM server status before running JSPM, check the permissions of the respective directories as well.
Did you make any changes to the Profile/exe directories before starting JSPM?
Try to check the main logs of JSPM.

SAP Netweaver BI Connection in Xcelsius is not working

Hello,
we use Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP3 and we would like to connect to a BW Query directly (SAP BW 7.0 EHP1 SP6).
In Xcelsius I can choose Data > Connections > SAP Netweaver BI Connection and I can logon to the SAP system and then select the BW query.
But after that no query elements are shown in the Input and Output Values (nothing happens I just have empty Input and Output Values).
What can I do that I see the query elements?
Please help.
Thanks,
Karin

Adding Visual Composer to NetWeaver PI

As far as I could see NetWeaver PI doesnu2019t contain Visual Composer. Is there a way to add it manually or is a NetWeaver CE instance required if I need VC?
Regards,
Tarik

Thank you for the answer. Sorry, if I didnu2019t quite understand, Iu2019me new to SAP and NetWeaver. Maybe I was not clear enough in my first post. NetWeaver PI and NetWeaver CE 7.1 both seem to be based on NetWeaver 7.1, and CE contains Visual Composer 7.1. As far as I understand, the problem is that the component simply is u201Cnot installedu201D in PI and not that PI woudnu2019t meet the requirements for VC. But I couldnu2019t find instructions on how to install the u201CVC componentu201D in PI, nor could I find a download of VC as a separate component. All downloads which i could find seem to contain a complete NetWeaver CE or 7.0 Stack. Now my question is, whether there is a u201CVC componentu201D which can be installed in PI.
Thanks,
Tarik
