SRM system object within Portal: WAS settings with Webdispatcher

Hello Portal experts,
we have SAP EHP4 ERP system (only ABAP stack).
In order to use some SRM functionality we installed SAP EP (EHP1) and creates a appropriate system object within portal.
We use a Webdispatcher, so we have to replace within WAS area the local address by the address of Webdispatcher and appropriated port (webserver:567).
The tests of this system object looks as follows:
The address of http://webserver:567 can be retrieved
The problem are the results of following tests:
http://webserver:567/sap/bc/ping
http://webserver:567/sap/bc/webdynpro
These errors occured because the both pathes /sap/bc/ping and /sap/bc/webdynpro do not exist on Portal/Java engine.
Questions:
How can we connect ABAP backend to Portal with extra Webdispatcher?
What are the setting within WAS area?
kind regards

Hi Thom,
Is your webdispatcher in front of your portal? or in front of the ICM of your Backend System?
If the applications that you want to enable via your EP are of the type: WD for ABAP, BSP, IAC or ITS then you should also have a webdispatcher in front of your Backend System (in addition to on in front of your portal).
Please check the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/48/9a9a6b48c673e8e10000000a42189b/frameset.htm
On this page, scroll down to the last example. Although the image is there to explain "High Availability of the SAP Web Dispatcher" it gives you a good view on the request respond steps.
One rule of thumb is that the EP system itself doesn't act as a reverse-proxy. In other words, if an iView points to a WD 4 ABAP application on the Backend then the actual WD4ABAP application is rendered in an iFrame.
From a technical/connection point of view the client (browser) has 2 connections, one to the EP and 1 tot the Backend.
Allot of people do not realize this when they start there project...
Cheers, hope this helps you a bit....

How to create a system object in portal that points to a web dispatcher

Hi,
How do we create a system object in the portal for a web dispatcher? The web dispatcher in turn points to an ECC system. The path for communication is EP>Web Dispatcher>ECC

BI System Object in Portal

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to to display a BI Report in the Portal. Both systems are on NW04s.
The connection test of the BI system object fails with the following error:
SAP Web AS Connection
Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Check the validity of the system ID in the system object
2. Check whether the system can be retrieved
3. Check whether a SAP system is defined in the system object

5. WAShvrz0afa.hvr.sbs.deCONNECTION_TEST_HOSTRESOLVE_RESULT_PASS
6. WAShvrz0afa.hvr.sbs.deAND_ITS_CONNECTION_TEST_PING_SERVER_FAIL
I have done all system settings for connector, WAS and ITS.
The test connection with connector was successful.
What could be the problem?

Hi,
Can you please send the values you have set for the ITS related parameters ?
Secondly, the test connection results are not reliable. I would rather request you to create a BW report iview and then use this system and check if you are able to see the report ( or get the username & password screen if the SSO is not configured or user is not mapped). This would atleast confirm that the ITS has been configured properly. If it gives an error, then we can make the necessary changes.
Cheers,
Sunil

Re: Error in System Object in Portal

Hi Experts,
I have created a system and have given values for all the property category
1.WAS
2.ITS
3.Connector
1.when I do the connection test for ITS, I'm getting error saying
"User mapping is not valid
HTTP/S connection failed"
2.when I do the connection test for Conectors, I'm getting the error saying
"Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct."
Help me to resolve the issue.
I guess there is problem in values for ITS and Connector property category so I have the following doubts
1.How to find the ITS host name?
2.How to find the ITS path?
Useful answers will be rewarded.
Thanks in Advance,
Suba

Generally I don't worry about error messages in the test tool! Instead, I try to create a transaction iView and see if that works. That's the important test.
Cheers

I have similarly total 3 Customized workflow so do i need to create three UWL's for each one?
Please help me out!

System object with same credentials for all users?

Hi everyone
I would like to create a system object in Portal, which can be used by users in a specific group. However, I want all users to use the same credentials for this system. Is this possible?
I've tried creating systems, but they all seem to require user mapping to work correctly. Is there some way I can create a system object with the credentials as part of the object, and then just assign permissions to it as required?
Please let me know if this raises any questions.
Thanks
Stuart

i dont think it is possible to create a system object for all the users with same credentials.anyways you are trying to create system object for some users who belong to a particular group.so you need to do only one time user mapping for that group
go to user administration-search for the group-go to user mapping tab-give username and password..

How to delete a portal system object?

Hello,
i've created a portal system object in the system landscape of the portal content with the template KM Windows System. Now i want to delete the created system object. How i can do this?
Best regards,
TomSd

Hi,
You only have 'Read' Permission for your system. In order to delete it,log in to the portal using as a superadministrator(the user who has 'Full Control' or 'Owner' permissions for all objects in portal).
Go to System Administration->Permissions. Right click on the system that you intend to delete and open 'Permissions'.
In the 'Search for' Input field type in your username and select'Users'in the dropdown .Add the user and assign 'Full Control' for the user.
Login to portal using your userid.Now you will be able to delete the user by rightclicking on the system and clicking on 'Delete'.

Portal System Object - ABAP User Type?

Hi
I've created a System Object, which will be used to connect to a NW '04 system. I'm using UIDPW as the Logon Method, and have defined the relevant user mappings.
When I test the connection using a normal Dialog user in the ABAP backend, everything works perfectly. However, when I use a Communication user, the connection test fails.
Does anyone have any suggestions on getting the connection to work with a Communication user? What is the recommended ABAP user type for backend connections? I assume Communication user is recommended, as this doesn't allow dialog login, etc.
Thanks
Stuart

Having done further investigation, it seems the problem is not with the user type. I'm able to connect when assigning the SAP_ALL profile to my Communications user (which I obviously don't want).
What permissions must I assign to this user to allow it to log in? All I've done so far is assign permissions on the S_RFC authorisation object to allow RFC calls to my function group.
Do I need to assign additional login permissions?

properties and also WAS properties with hostname and type as http. When i try to do test
connection it is giving following error message:

Hi,
System Object is a set of connection properties to represent an external or SAP systems (SAP R3, /CRM/BW) used to retrieve data into portal iViews. We can create a System Object in any one of the three ways
The system object can be created from either of the following:
u2022Based on System Template (Template)
u2022Based on Portal Content      (PAR)
u2022Coping Existing Systems     (System)
The Required Steps to Create a System Object in the portal are as :
1.          System Alias settings
2.        Connector settings
3.        ITS settings
4.        WAS settings
5.    User Management Settings
This may help
