CUA as data source for portal UME

Hi all
We want to use the CUA system as the data source for our EP6's UME.
Obviously our end users do not login to the CUA system and therefore have no password to this system. It doesn't seem rational to provide them a password to this system, but then again which password will they use?
I'm guessing that this is the case for most of the SAP customers.
Does this mean that we can't use the CUA as the UME data source?
If any of you use the CUA as the UME, we'd be very glad to hear your solution to this situation (we can't use one of the child systems as the UME).
Thanks,
Yeti

Hi Yeti,
My remarks below will not answer your question but it will help you with some decision on your UME data source.
As far as I know, most Portal use LDAP as their main UME datasource. This is largely due to the fact that LDAP contains ALL the users that are "employee" of the company. As for CUA, it does not contain ALL your users which could pose a problem for you when you want to execute certain Portal functions (or management approval flows) which require users who does not exist in your CUA (but exist in LDAP).

But there are also setup that uses CUA as their UME. I have linked some of the past threads who use CUA as their UME. I hope they can shine some light to your question. You can do a search here in the forum with "CUA UME portal" and you will also find posts that can help answer your question.

Something to think about if you consider SSO with CUA as UME.
how to sso between portal and abap
Something more interesting to read about:
LDAP connection from ABAP to Portal
The above are base on my experience and the Portal setup which I have done for the company. But maybe there are better suggestions from other Portal guys,Experts,Gurus out here who will contribute to answer your question. 
Hope that helps.

  • Solution Manager as a  source for Portal UME

    Is it possible to  to configure in EP 7, that UME source is Solman Abap clietn? We are using Solman as central CUA client too. Can one ABAP system can be user source for several ABAP?
    Thank You
    Vladimit

    Hi Vladimir
                                   It is possible to use Sol Man as your User Data Source.
    Also one ABAP system can act as a source for several other abap based systems.

  • Are Multiple (Concurrent) ABAP Data Sources for AS Java UME Possible?

    Hi All,
    We have a solution which is using a JAAS logon module for partner authentication. for reason's I won't go into we have decided that it is best to use an ABAP data source. We will also be using the same JAAS approach for other ABAP applications in the future. Ideally we would configure the same JAAS server to use ABAP UME data sources from ABAP server 1 and ABAP server 2.
    I see there are provisions in the documentation for multiple UME data sources of different types but it doesn't clearly say about different concurrent data sources. IS this even possible? If so is it wise?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Julius,
    Thanks again for your reply. This is confusing. We have an existing .Net logon application where we centrally administer accounts and where users log in. On successful login they are issued a .net Auth cookie. Our JAAS module takes that cookie, does a web service call back to .Net and authenticates them. So authentication is done on the basis of the .Net cookie, not the java UME. We simply need a java ume to allow users to execute the application that invokes the JAAS module. The application invokes the JAAS module and if they successfully authenticate they are forwarded to the requesting SAP application. So the JAAS ume is really just needed to allow various users to run the JAAS invoking application starter. Ideally we'd use the same starter application for users of SAP Application 1,2,3, etc.
    So that's where the question came from on multiple ABAP  UME data sources for a single Java instance.
    Hope that makes sense. Regardless the answer I guess is not possible but you see the method to our madness. And yes it is madness.
    Thanks,
    Doug

  • LDAP as data source for UME

    Trying to use a SSL enabled LDAP (Sun) for data source for UME.  It seems that I can't use SSL directly from GRC CUP 5.3. Followed the instructions in saphelp, but when I test the connection, it gives me "Connection test with user path failed". The following is the connection data in UME Config:
    Server Name:  10.56.17.20
    Server Port:     62636
    User:                cn=GMACApp_001,ou=Applications,dc=gm,dc=com
    Password:       <correct one entered>
    User path:        ou=People,dc=gm.dc=com
    Group path:      ou-Groups,dc=gm,dc=com
    Use SSL for LDAP Access is checked
    Use Unique Attribute is not checked
    I can connect to the LDAP using the same credentials with Softerra browser....Any ideas?

    Opened a message with SAP....the response was less than helpful..."we don't support SSL". When I pushed them with the responses I recieved from the forum, the replay was "we have never done this".  There must be a way.  I can't be the only person on the planet that has to connect to a corp LDAP with a secure port!! I have tried the trick of conencting a LDAP as a data source for UME, but with limited success.  Seems when the LDAP + db is enabled, the UME URL is not available (error 503). So that's not working so well either. 
    Any help will be appreciated.

  • CRM 7.0 - Enhancement of Data Sources for interactive Reporting

    Hallo All,
    I would like to know whether anybody has positive experience with the enhancement of CRM Data Sources for interactive Reporting. I read that the enhancement of Customer fields should be possible (Those Data Sources below the Hierarchy node /CRMBW/ROOT).
    I have seen that the extract structure can be enhanced via RSA6 (as for other data sources).
    Questions:
    1. Which USEREXIT / BADI has to be used to fill the added fields?
    2. Does it work?
    Best regards

    Hi!
    Those DS are not meant to be enhanced manually but only by one of the following two ways:
    1. Adding custom fields with the Application Enhancement Tool (AET) in the CRM UI.
    2. Adding SAP fields with the Interactive Reporting Enhancement Workbench (IREW).
    The AET is available since CRM 7.0. Please find more details in the SAP Help Portal:

  • Unable to generate "Export data source" for Master data infoobject

    Hi Gurus,
    I'm in BW 3.5
    I need to generate "Export data source" for a master data info object.
    I followed below steps:
        I ticked the checkbox "Characterist. is export data source" in the master data Info object maintenance screen.
        In the Infosource area, for the desired Infoobject --> Right click --> Generate export datasource --> a dialog box displays saying "The generation of DataSource  was successful"
    Problem:
    Even after refreshing, etc.. I couldn't find the generated datasource 8**** for the above master data. I also tried to replicate the datasource from the myself source system, but couldn't find it even there. I don't know where the generated export data source is hiding ???
    Could anyone please help ????
    Thanks,
    Venkat

    Hi Venkat,
    I guess that after creating an export datasource for infoobject this DS should appear in the RSA1-Source systems - MYSELF - datasource overview (with name starting with 8). Since it's a datamart, it should appear also as system generated infosource. And in this case you would be able to assign in URs of data target the appropriate infosource (make sure that in Infoproviders tab of RSA1 you have inserted your infoobject as a data target).
    However, there are some bugs related to export data source. CHeck if you see you export data source in RSA6.
    If you don't see it - consider applying OSS Note #816892 - "30BSP26: Export DS for master data is not generated".
    Note #876845 - "30BSP29: InfoObject change: Export DataSource not adjusted" is also may be useful.

  • Standard BI Data Source for FMGLFLEXT

    Hello Friends,
    The standard data source for the Financials New Legder is 0FI_GL_10 General Ledger: Leading Ledger Balances, which fetches the data from the FAGLFLEXT Table using the Extract Structure FAGL_EXTSTRUCT_LEAD. However there has been a migration of the FAGL table to FMGL table. And now the FAGLFLEXT is no longer populated with any FI postings data. And the new table which is getting the update is the FMGLFLEXT Table. GL Migration from FAGL to FMGL is a standard procedure. However I am not finding any Standard Data Source to fetch the data from the FMGLFLEXT Table.
    Can anybody let me know if there is any standard datasource for this or should we create a custom data source to fetch the data from FMGLFLEXT using the FMGL_EXTSTRUCT_LEAD Extract Structure.
    Appreciate help in this regard.
    VB

    Hello,
    The requirement is resolved by the following:
    If you want to use your own totals table (in this scenario FMGLFLEXT) as your basis, you first have to create the corresponding extraction structure using transaction FAGLBW01. In this way, all fields of the totals table are transferred into the extraction structure. Further In the OLTP system, call up transaction FAGLBW03 and Configure the DataSource and save your settings.

  • Can you use SQL as a data source for a project in the same way you can in Excel?

    Excel allows you to create a data source that executes a SQL stored procedure, display that data as a table in a spreadsheet and have that data automatically refresh each time you open the spreadsheet. Is it possible to do the same thing in MS Project, displaying
    the data from the stored procedure as a series of tasks?
    Here's what I'm trying to do - I have a stored procedure that pulls task data meeting a specific criteria from all projects in Project Server. We're currently displaying this data as an Excel report. However, the data includes start dates and durations so
    it would be nice to be able to display it as a Gantt Chart. I've played around with creating a Gantt chart in Excel and have been able to do a very basic one, but it doesn’t quite fit our needs.

    No, You can not use sql as a data source for a project.
    You have 3 options to achieve it:
    1. You can create a Sharepoint list with desired column ,fill desired data in that list then you can create a MS project from Sharepoint List.
    2. You can create a SSRS report in which you can display grantt chart Joe has given you that link.
    3. You can write a macro in MPP which will take data from your excel. In excel you will fetch data from your stored procedure. write a schedule which will run every day to update your data or
    create an excel report in which will update automatically and write macro in mpp which will fetch the data then publish it so that it would be available to team members.

  • Trying to change the data source for a Crystal Report.

    <p>The method below represents my best attempt to programatically change the data source of a Crystal Report.

    <p>Justin,</p>
    <p>
    Thank you for the reply. Time constraints have not allowed me to post back to this tread
    till now. I will try your suggestion. My assumption is that <i>Save the report back to the
    info store</i> refers to <span class="code">IInfoStore.commit(IInfoObjects)</span>.
    </p>
    <p>
    I'm afraid that I do not understand why I don't want to change the report client document,
    or why <i>successfully exporting the report with the new login/password</i> is not what I
    want to do. Any explanation on that statement would be appreciated.
    </p>
    <p>
    I did find a way to accomplish my goal. It involved adding the SSOKEY property to the
    logon property bag. Below you'll see my revised code which modifies the report logon and
    server. I have no idea what
    this does, and SAP support has not been able to tell me why it works. However, what I
    discovered is that if I changed the report option, <b>Database Configuration -> When
    viewing report:</b>, in the CMS to <span class="bi">Use same database logon as when report
    is run</span> from <span class="bi">Prompt the user for database logon</span>, then the
    SSOKEY property had been added to the logon property bag having an empty string as its
    value. This allowed me to successfullyupdate and save the modified logon back to the CMS.
    </p>
    <p>
    So I took a chance and added code to always add the SSOKEY property with an empty string
    as its value, and I could then successfully modify and save the report's logon info
    and server. Again, I don't know what this means, but it has worked so far. If anyone has
    some insight or comments, either are welcome. Thank you in advance.

  • Error while creating Data Source for master data attributes

    Hi BI Experts,
    Well its been some time for me that I have been part of Extraction in BI.I primarily handled reporting in my last assignments.
    I was trying extraction with flat files in SAP BI 7(new to sap bi 7 but very much familiar with BW3.5) but failed in the activity during master data attributes and text upload in infoobject (say IOSP_Mat).
    Here is the procedure that I did after creation of characteristic IOSP_Mat.I created a source system for flat file followed by data source for Master data attributes, i selected all the parameters correctly.i.e. csv file format, data seperator as   ,
    and other settings, now when i am trying to look at the proposed data in the next tab using Load example data.its not showing the desired result.The columns that I have maintained in Flat File is  MAT_NUMBER and MAT_NAME (with say 100 data in the file)
    same is the result when I am trying to load the text data too columns maintained are
    (LANGUAGE MAT_NUMBER Short Description)(same 100 data).
    now i used to rsa1old transaction  to upload the file using 3.5 version.i created info source for master data/text/hierarchies for  IOSP_Mat
    now when trying to upload it using info package for master and text data,I observe its(the data) not maintained in the characteristic IOSP_Mat.
    When I monitored ,I figured the data has not been even uploaded to the PSA level.
    Can you BI experts tell me the answer for this.
    Thanks,
    Srijith

    apologies to all of you for late response,
    was busy with some other activities.
    I don't remember the exact message,but I remember it was not loaded to even the PSA level.I will try it again and post the exact message.
    Thanks again for your quick response.
    Once again sorry to all of you for my late response
    Thanks,
    Sri

  • OIM 9.1.0.2 - Weblogic JDBC Multi Data Sources for Oracle RAC

    Does OIM OIM 9.1.0.2 BP07 support Weblogic JDBC Multi Data Sources (Services>JDBC>Multi Data Sources) for Oracle RAC instead of inserting the "Oracle RAC JDBC URL" on JDBC Data Sources for xlDS and xlXADS (Services>JDBC>Data Sources> xlDS|xlXADS > Connection Poll> URL) ?
    If yes, is there are any other modifications that need to be made on OIM, or just changing the data sources?

    Yes, it's supported. You install against one instance directly of the Rac Server. Then you update the config.xml file and the jdbc resource in your weblogic server with the full rac address. It is documented for installation against RAC. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14049_01/doc.9101/e14047/database.htm#insertedID2
