Crystal in SAP Portal Iview

I was looking at SAP Portal content development and I saw an ivew wizard for crystal report.
A couple of the contne properties is:
ID of Crystal Enterprise Report
So what I am wondering is if this is the rpt that has been bw published to the SAP system?
Anyone familiar with this?
Poitns rewarded ....
Mike

I got this to work, but I have to log in to see the crystal report. So now I have to configure SSO to work so my user just has to sign-in once.
I'm using sap 7.0 ep 6.0 portal and boxi rel 2 with websphere. I see in my doc:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/12/9f244183bb8639e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
that I have to use IIS.
Does anyone know of a work around or an alternate path to follow?

IViewTrayColor and com.sap.portal.iview.family

I am looking to do a custom layout to control the tray colour of an iView and folowing the documentation (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/6dfbbbac847100e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm) on creating a custom layout it mentions to go to the default_iView in the core objects and look at the com.sap.portal.iview.family attribute.
The issue is I can not find this attribute in either the standard iView dislpay editor of the PCD editor.
We are running Portal 6 6.40 SP15...
Does anyone know where to set this value??
Cheers,
D.

Hi Derek,
I don't have any SPS15 at hand, but on the first SPS16 I checked the attributed is to be found at exactly the place described on help.sap.com (it's name is "Family", the technical name is as described).
Re-check, otherwise consider patching.
Hope it helps

Can BO infoview open a SAP Portal iview?

Hello,
Not sure this is the right place, but I know SAP Portal can open BO Infoview, but can BO Infoview open SAP iviews?
thansk for you time,
Arnold

Hai,
Before you can use InfoView and Web Intelligence you need the following
information:
u2022 a URL to the InfoView server
u2022 the InfoView server name and port number
u2022 your login and password
u2022 your authentication, which controls the InfoView resources available to
you
Contact your adminstrator for these details if you do not already know them.
Note:
By default the InfoView server name and authentification method are not
displayed on the InfoView logon page. You need to supply this information
only if your administrator has made these options visible.
You access Web Intelligence by using your web browser to log into InfoView,
the corporate business intelligence portal. Once you are in InfoView, you
can analyze and enhance Web Intelligence reports.
1. Launch your web browser.
2. Point your browser to the InfoView bookmark or URL.
The InfoView login page appears.
3. If the System box is blank, type the name of the InfoView server followed
by a colon (, and then type the port number.
4. In the Username box, type your user name.
5. In the Password box, type your password.
6. In the Authentication box, select the authentication provided to you by
your administrator.
7. Click Log On.
The InfoView home page appears.

How to print Crystal Report within SAP Portal iView?

Hi All,
We are using BOEJ XI 3.0 with integration with SAP NetWeaver Portal. We are having a problem with printing a Crystal Report.
- We use the SAP iView to run a Crystal Report.
- Once the report is completed, we want to click on Print to send the report to a printer e.g. default printer.
- Then a screen pops up and nothing gets printed.
It seems the print control is not being transferred.
Has anyone had this problem and what the resolution is?
Thanks,
Garry

Hi Ingo,
Thank you for your response. I have just got off the phone with SAP. I was given two options.
- Install ActiveX control on user's PC
- Or set the user preference to use PDF in InfoView.
Both options seem to work. Now it is the question of security on using ActiveX. If this is the concern, then one can use the PDF option.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Garry

Import Crystal Report to Portal

I'm investigating the possibility of displaying crystal reports in Portal iViews. Those crystal reports will be reading off BW and R/3 data sources. I've run into different questions and they are:
1) Should I save the crystal reports in BW repository or should I activate them and move them to Crystal Enterprise (i.e. which option is better? or do I not have a choice?).
2) Where should the authorization be handled? My guess is at the portal, am I right?
3) How to get crystal report format (especially font and background colors) to change with the portal style, if the user change it at run time.
4) and finally, has anyone gone through this before? if so, is there any resources or manual on the subject? please help.

I have done this using the iview template that is in the "migrated ep5 content" folder. I am just using EP6 SP2. With SP4 (and maybe SP3?) there is a template.
1. I think the report needs to be saved in BW. It needs to be "published" as well. (See the BW documentation.)
2. I think the authorization needs to be done in the BW. The reports are assigned to a role. The role is assigned to a BW user. We are using SAPLOGONTICKETS, so the BW user id has a matching id in the portal. The passwords do not need to match. (Don't forget to export the portal cerificate and import it into BW.) That is if you want SSO to work.
3. Not sure about this one. I thought EP6 had something called "rendered iviews", but I can't find it. This is supposed to alter the look of a url iview to match the poral look. (I believe that a crystal report iview is basically just a url iview. It just calls a url http://crystal server/viewreport.csp(or jsp)?id=9999...etc).
4. Feel free to email me at [email protected]
You could just use a URL iview if you know the url of the report. The params are just filled out in the parameters of the iview wizard.
The BIG hurdle I had to get through was the creation of the system(and alias) for the server where crystal is. The system properties for Crystal are missing from EP6 until you get to SP4 or SP3. I had to copy the par for the SAP system and add new properties for Crystal ENterprise. (seerver, path, and protocol.)

Sap query iview error

Hi there!
I have a sap query iview in the portal that should display a query in CRM (build with SQ01). The query in the backend is fine, but I get this error message in the portal.
"Error in Source. Message not available"
I have double-checked that the connection parameters of the sap query iview are OK, also I have run a DQE connection test on the system that was(see below) also OK.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance
-fab
p.s. I reward points generously
Test Connection through the DQE
Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Checks the existence of a backend admin user ID/password in the system properties.
2. Checks the existence of a default alias for the system.
3. Checks the DQE connection.
Results
1. Backend admin user ID and password exist in the system properties.
2. Default alias of the system exists.
3. DQE connection successful. If you continue to experience problems, verify the DQE admin user ID and password properties for this system object.

Thanks for the help Michael. Here is the xml file, I have also sent it to your email address.
Cheers,
faB

How to show a crystal report in a SAP Portal?

Hi
I am trying to show a crystal report in SAP Portal. I did a crystal enterprise report iview, and in SAP portal I got this error when I trying to show it:

The page you requested is not available on this web server for one of the following reasons:
The address you typed may be inaccurate. For example, a character was missing. To correct this issue, double-check the address and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Then I test ce_url service, and got this error:

Session not released in backend SAP when executing CR iView from SAP Portal

Hi,
We are in the process of doing some testing. One behavior we have observed is that user sessions are being built up in the backend SAP. Eventually, the next CR execution runs into problem.
We are running the Crystal Reports using an iView in the SAP EP. The iView is delivered by as included with the Integration Kit.
We have modified different time-outs on the BOE server. We are still having the same problem.
Is there something we can do in the portal or the iView to terminate the sessions?
Thanks,
Garry

Hi Ingo, Thank you again for your response and support. Well, the suggestion would be fine if our users would only be satisfied with static data. They normally run the report and expect the latest data from the backend SAP system.
To clarify your points, the user is not running reports at the same time. What the user is doing is this.
- The user runs a report in the portal. As you hae indicated, there is a session against SAP system.
- Once the report is completed, the user runs the next report, and so on.
Each time, the session remains in SAP system. Eventually, I would see a long list of sessions in SAP.
It seems that when the user is clicking on the next report in the portal, the session for the previous report run is not being terminated.
I'm looking for a way to terminate the session at the completion of the report run.
Thansk,
Garry

Iviews not working in SAP Portal in DHTML viewer

Hi
We are using BOXI 3.0 with SAP Integration Kit with SAP R/3 and SAP Portal.We are implementing Single Sign On from SAP Portal to BOXI 3.0 and have created few iviews in SAP Portal pointing to the reports in BOXI 3.0.
The Single Sign On works fine when the viewer in the Iview is selected as Java or Activex Viewer but goes in the logon loop when the viewer is selected as html_frame(i.e dhtml viewer).Have followed the installation and user guides very closely as well.Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Kamal

Hi Ji
Thanks for your reply.Yes we are using the master iview templates provided in the XI R3 media.
There are few things noticed in this case which I would like to point out:
1)Our environment is a distributed environment where Server 1 is the BO Server and Server 2 is the Web Server.
2)When we are trying to the run the sample iviews(Alert and Thumbnail) we are getting the error as below:
"Error: Server not found or server maybe down (FWM 01003) null"
Point to note here is that this error is reproduced when the CMS System is selected/entered wrongly but how come the message is showing Server02 which is the webserver instead of Server01.
3)When we trying to run Iview template it is redirected to login loop where the SAP Authentication is not seen.

How to get a Crystal report as an iview in Portal

Hi,
Please let me know how to get a crystal report to Portal.
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi,
I used URL iview option to get the crystal report in portal and am able to view it. Thank you all for your inputs.
But as of now SSO is not configured between BOE and BI system, so when i click on URL iview initially it asks me for credentials to BOE InfoView and after entering that it again asks for BI login as the data has to be picked from BI server.
We are going to configure SSO mean while i just want to know whether it is possible to pass the id and passw as parameters to this url iview, if so what are the parameter id's i need to maintain to pass id and passw.
Let me know on this.
Regards,
Pradeep

Issue with viewing SAP Dashboards Portal iView in iPad Safari browser (Mobile)

Hi,
I am facing an issue while viewing iViews hosted in SAP Enterprise Portal. I have two iViews -
1) An SAP BICS Dashboard - Published as an iView in EP. I can see the dashboard in my laptop running properly. It consumes BEx queries (BICS dashboard) in the background.
2) A BEx query published as an iView (java web format), also able to run and execute from my laptop.
When I am logging into the portal from IPad Safari web browser I am able to see and run the BEx query iView published in the portal.
However, for the SAP Dashboard iView, it is showing me a blank page after loading. Is it possible to see SAP BICS Dashboard through an iView in Ipad?
I need to run the dashboard iView from the IPad as well. It is an urgent requirement
Would really appreciate your help!!
Thanks,
Debtanay

Hi,
Don't spend your time to find the reason.
BI platform content is not supported directly in Safari on iPad or Chrome on Android, only through the Mobile BI apps on these platforms.
Please see PAM chapter "SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Mobile Clients supported with this release"

SAP PORTAL Time-Out Settings / BO iView Reports..?

We have created BO object-specific iView requests in SAP PORTAL based on Ingo's posting....
SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise & SAP Enterprise Portal - Part 3 of 4
Currently, just posting some small CR4E and Analysis for Office (*Design Studio will be added in a few months) report objects that are based on BW queries - and response time is a few seconds.
However, long-term as our BW grows - and the volume of data/periods expands we may see some reduction in the performance of these reports, and they make take a few-minutes to return data.
The SAP Portal team already have an issue with an ECC / T-Code report (*no Business Objects involved) which runs over 100 seconds - and hits a Portal time-out....and are wondering if we would hit the same issue if a CR4E within the Portal ran longer than 100 seconds...?
I think the answer is "NO", the Portal time-out would not apply in that scenario. My assumption is that in our solution-path, the Portal's 100 second time-out rule would ONLY apply to the process of the Portal invoking the iView request - and opening the frame for the CR4E content.
Once the frame is open - and the RPT / Prompt-Screen is loaded the Portal time-out is "happy".
After that iView -> BO frame is established....so, even if the CR4E & BW Query took more than 100 Seconds to return/display the data - the SAP Portal would not time-out - as all of that activity is actually taking place at the BOE Platform layer within the frame (and using the time-out settings at the BOE level).
Can anyone confirm that my assumptions are correct, or explain where the assumption is wrong..?
Thanks in advance...!

In our scenario, the SAP PORTAL has a 100 second time-out, but the Business Objects platform where the CR4E content is hosted has a 600 second time-out for "View on Demand" reporting.
When the SAP PORTAL opens the iView connection, it is opening the CR4E content in a frame on the Portal. Prompts are entered - and the RPT execution begins on the BOE platform.
There is a "spinning-wheel" displayed from the BOE platform, and if run in BO LaunchPad it could run for up to 600 seconds before a time-out occured.
When it is presented in SAP PORTAL via iView connection - does that "spinning-wheel" from BOE Platform provide enough of a "heartbeat" to let the PORTAL know not to drop the connection at 100 seconds....?
My reasoning is that SAP PORTAL should be opening the BOE content with the same rules that apply when the report is opening in the BO LaunchPad.
We are going to create a "SLOW" report in CR4E (*Lots of charts & sub-reports) to test/compare LaunchPad and Portal display of the same report.

SAP Portal Network - WebDynpro iView and SAP Application iView sharing

Hello All,
I've read about the restrictions in SAP Portal supporting the WSRP standard for application sharing. Mainly WebDynpro iViews and SAP application iViews sharing is not supported. That is in the case of a SAP Portal as producer and Non-SAPPortal as consumer.
I'm interested in a WebDynpro iViews and SAP application iViews sharing in a only-SAP Portals Network, where SAP Portals act as producer and consumer.
I've heard about the Remote Role Assignment and Remote Content Copy that are used in such case. I would like to ask if anyone knows if these can help overcome the restriction in sharing WebDynpro iViews and SAP application iViews that is present with WSRP? And if the advantage of WSPR, that is the application execution and rendering on the producer side, and as follows decreasing of bandwidth usage, is remaining in the case of the Remote Role Assignment and Remote Content Copy.
Thanks,
Mladen

Hi Manish,
for sharing content between SAP and non-SAP Portals, your case, refer to
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/23fb36cad10d23e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
All the possibilities and restrictions of WSPR in the case of SAP EP are explaind there.
For sharing content between only SAP Portals refer to my other thread:
Portal Network - Content Sharing
Hope it helps you!

Can't See com.sap.portal.runtime.logon in list of PAR Files in Iview Wizard

Hello All,
I am trying to create an iview from PAR file com.sap.portal.runtime.logon which is the logon par file that has the logon page. But when I right click a folder in the PCD and click on New From PAR Iview I try to find on the list of available par files and I don't find the one named com.sap.portal.runtime.logon
Can anyone tell me if this has to do with the portalapp.xml file from com.sap.porta.runtime.logon.par file.? or with the Security Zones defined in portalapp.xml? Or does someone know why this PAR file doesn't appear on the list and how can I make it appear on this list of par files?
Any helpful ideas to solve this issue will give rewarding points.
Thanks
Luis

Hello,
What I want to do is to put the logon page in the light framework page so that the users can login from the anonymous portal. After I customize the logon page I want to create aniview in the detailed navigation.
If you want to see the jsp files that the com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par file you have to go to the file system and copy the .par.bak file , rename it to .zip and all the files are there.
But my question is if this is a par file that is deployed in the portal , why I cant create an iview from this par file? From other forums I have read they say that creating an iview from this par file it will put the logon page where you want. But when I try to create an iview from PAR File the com.sap.portal.runtime.logon doesn't appear in the list of available par files.
Please help me on this and will give rewarding points.
Thanks
Luis
