Development and administration methodology

Hi,
I am looking for information about portal development and administration methodology (How to manage the PCD, iViews, Roles, user groups, etc... ?)
Any personal experiance tips and suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Elad.

Hi Elad,
I think a good start is help.sap.com. Take a look at the following URLs.
Portal Administration Guide:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/34/76bd3b6e74d708e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Portal Developer Guide:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/19/4554426dd13555e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
You will also find some stuff in the overall Development Manual:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/de/21/82a9058fa8de46b1ba7522289345b2/frameset.htm
Depending on your personal strenght you can do your portal development in e.g. HTMLB jof JAVA. You'll find some infos on that here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fd/01f34026d70b06e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/htmlb_guidance/index.html
Or you can try out some Visual Composer stuff. Take a look at this URL:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/27/7c7d404d84cf62e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
If you are more into ABAP you can of course try out the latest WebDynpro for ABAP but this works only for NW 2004s. You'll find a lot of information here on SDN. Look at the current frontpage!

At first sight it seems your webcenter installation does not match the version of your WLS.
Your WLS installations seems to be 10.33 and not 10.3.2
If you are using WLS 10.3.3 you MUST also install webcenter 11.1.3
That could be the cause of your problems.

Should e-book Data Guard Concepts and Administration be useless for us?

I think The Data Guard Broker is an easy and efficient way to manage a Data Guard configuration. The Data Guard Broker provides us with two efficient tools: EM Console and DGMGRL. We can do everything we want for Data Guard system.
Why we spend so much time to read Oracle e-book Data Guard Concepts and Administration? I think it is useless. Only Broker is enough?

Frank,
The thing is GUI tool itself is also program that need some one to manage. The developer of such tools cannot take care unlimited possibilities in the real world.
Just check how many threads in this forum about why emca, dbca and EM console not working.
Being a DBA, we should understand the underlying technology that driven the system. It's like driving a car. A regular customer could say I don't care about mechanics of a car. As long as it's running, that's enough. But we are not regular customer, we suppose to be the auto repair mechanician in Oracle world. We could enjoy driving a car, but at same time we should know why and how it's working.

Discoverer Desktop and Administrator: which is the next step?

Hello everybody, i would like to ask you some help about understanding the following issue:
I noticed that Discoverer Desktop and administrator are being treated like obsolete.
Do they have a direct successor? I mean, is there any new product that has more or less the same functionality and the same philosophy?
I'm looking at the Business intelligence suite but it seems to be a bit much wide for my scope.
Thank you all in advance.

So, in a way you are saying that discoverer is still better than any other oracle products including discoverer plus. I mean, discoverer adm and desktop are useful for me since
they are standalone application and the understructure is quite light ( for example you don't need any application server behind like plus does but just an EUL).
And i'm agree with your parallel matching with sqlplus situation. I still prefer doing something with sqlplus since is more reliable and quick than sqldeveloper. But i cannot say that
discoverer desktop is the most reliable tool for reporting. In 6 months i used i found out many bugs and many strange behaviors that made me a bit crazy about this tool. I also tried discoverer plus but i found it extremely slow and unreliable. The level of productivity is something ugly, not just slow. So far indeed desktop seems to be the fastest and most reliable solution for a "quick" reporting development.
I would like to ask you another question: has the new hyperion platform some reporting tool like discoverer?
I mean if discoverer is the reporting tool for Relational OLAP what about the reporting for Multidimensional OLAP?
Thanks again.
Best regards

Sdm and administrator password are different

Hi,
We have Portal 7.0 EHP1 system which is being used for Java development and has ESS, MSS business packages installed.
The administrator password expired, so I changed through the browser whenrein it gave option to change.
While the SDM password is same as before.
So, now the administrator and SDM passwords are different, earlier they were same.
Will this create any issue? If yes, how to resolve it?
Thanks & Regards,
Kunal.

Hi Kunal,
To set the admin password permanent:
Open Offline Config Tool -> Switch to Configuration Editor Mode. Navigate to cluster_data -> server -> cfg -> services PropertySheet com.sap.security.core.ume.service
Switch to edit mode
open the propertysheet.
It will prompt you for a security warning, accept and proceed further.
Look for value ume.logon.security_policy.password_expire_days. The default value will be 90 days. Change it to custom value 999999 and save it. Restart the engine and your Administrator user password will not get expired.
Thanks and Regards,
Shyam.

Functional reporting and Administrative Reporting

Hi All,
Can anyone give the brief description for Functional reporting and Administrative Reporting with examples.
Its very urgent......
Regards,
Sita

Hi Sitarama,
According to me, functional reporting refers to the detailed reports that are generally executed & used by the people who are actually doing the job (e.g. Payroll specialist). We are generally developing functional reports with ABAP. On the other hand, administrative reporting refers to the more high-end reports that are detail-free and gives the overall picture. They are generally used by managers, etc. (e.g. HR manager). We generally carry out administrative reporting in BI.
For instance, a functional report may include all of the payroll wage types of the employees that are paid in the respective months whereas administrative report includes the total amount paid to all of the employees in the company.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Dilek

New Development and CA

We are in process of developing new eCommerce application on ATG. We also have a business requirement to manage images and products using BCC. Most of the business requirements in phase 1 of the project is to configure and deploy application code along with CA ( BCC / Merchandising). My question is whether it is advisable to do new application development along with CA configuration at the same time. What does ATG best practice say in this regard. My opinion is that we should do new application development (deliver new functionality) first to be followed by CA initiative. I have never directly worked on CA projects but I have been part of large teams with multiple initiatives where CA being one of the initiative and I have seen there are quite a few steps that one need to follow in configuring and deploying CA / BCC e.g. versioning of modules, modifying DB schema to support versioning etc. I don't want to run into issues where our main focus is to deliver new functionality and want to avoid the complexity of doing both new development and CA at the same time.
Edited by: 899085 on Nov 24, 2011 12:01 PM

The best practice recommendation would be to include any BCC/CA implementation as early as possible in your project plan. Understanding the process of how the business users will be using the tools and what impact any customizations to the ATG code your applications make are very important in a successful rollout of a site usign the BCC and Merchandizing. We tend to see that the projects which attempt to implement BCC/CA at the last minute are the ones that encounter the most problems. Projects which include the BCC and CA in the early stages of the applciation design, project planning, and UAT and load testing go through a much smoother test cycle and launch.

Development and Production Requirements for a Forms/Report application

Dear all,
We have an application witch run in client/Server mode using Forms/Reports 6i For 300 users.We want to migrate it on Forms/Reports 9I using Oracle 9IAS and Oracle 9IDB.
I would like to have advises about material requirements of both development and production environment((developer deskop, development appServer and databaseServer, end user desktop,production databaseServer and production AppServer).
Thank u for giving more details about my request.

I have my dev and production on 2 different databases/instances, and the workspaces have a different name aswell (think 'dev' and 'prod').
I do reuse my application ids, which makes the whole process a lot more manageable: easier for me to identify and replacing a whole application.
However, when i want to replace only 1 page, apex stumbles over the workspace. Bummer.
So i took an export of a page on both workspaces, and opened the files.
prompt Set Credentials...
begin
-- Assumes you are running the script connected to SQL*Plus as the Oracle user APEX_040100 or as the owner (parsing schema) of the application.
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(p_security_group_id=>nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id,1377027056414870));
end;
wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id,1377027056414870));
I took both workspace IDs and keep them in a simple txt in my installation-files folder. Each time i need to import a page from dev->prod i go in the exported file from dev and change the workspace id to the id of my production workspace id. Everything works magically after that.
If your application ids also differ, you can try changing the id in the exported file aswell, but i can't tell if it works or not since i've not done that yet.
prompt Set Application ID...
begin
   -- SET APPLICATION ID
   wwv_flow.g_flow_id := nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_application_id,130);
   wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset := nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_offset,0);
null;
end;where of course you'd change around nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_application_id,130);

Development and marketing of SAP EP solutions - any licenses required?

Hi
Not sure which forum to post this in, so - maybe Coffee Corner is a good start
My question is about the licensing required to development and marketing small add-ons / extensions for SAP Enterprise Portal.
Is it possible for the individual developer to develop and market small add-ons for EP in Java WDP, making use of a trail EP installation?
Do you need a special license for this (to develop commercial products)?
Maybe like a [SAP NetWeaver Developer Subscription|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/subscriptions/development?refer=subscriptionslandingpage], or the [SAP Composition Subscription|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/subscriptions/composition?refer=subscriptionslandingpage]?
Reading up on the [Subscriptions FAQ|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/subscriptions/software-faq#q-4-5], and it is not very clear:
Can I use my developed add-ons, extensions, developments, or modifications in a production environment?
In order to run your add-ons, extensions, developments, or modifications in a production environment, you need to purchase the applicable license from SAP. SAP customers or partners who already have an applicable license can use SAP NetWeaver in a production environment.
So-
"SAP customers or partners who already have an applicable license can use SAP NetWeaver in a production environment"
I'm not expecting to run the SAP NetWeaver Developer/Trail version you get with the subscription in a production environment - the question is would any prospective buyers of your developed add-ons be able to run these in their (fully licensed) NetWeaver / EP production environments?
(I feel this FAQ is not answering its own question correctly).
Purchasing a full EP license is a little out of my budget, and even the two developer subscriptions mentioned above are only available in Germany & the USA (and I reside in neither of which).
Any suggestions from the guys & girls of the Coffee Corner?
Thanks!

I am not a lawyer, but my interpretation of this is that the subscription systems are for "sneak previews" of releases and experimenting with the software to see whether you like it or not...
So this means that if you do development work on it and want to use it in a production environment, you will need a full license to run the software productively first, and then add your development to that licensed landscape.
This is a different topic to licensing your own development. For this you would need to become a solution partner and request your own namsepace in SAP, and then license it as optional software via service.sap.com.
For the "little individual" like you and me, this is not really an option IMO.
In some special cases, I have seen external coding included in the standard system, and you get a special mention for it sometimes in the coding comments.
I was thinking about the same as well because I am busy experimenting with a tool for making dual maintenance of roles during upgrades easier and know a few customers who would be interested in such a tool (possibly controlled centrally by a SolMan CTS+ with after import rule sets).
Being ABAP, I think I could try to sell it once or maybe twice... but after that I expect it would be "in the wild" and see others posting it here on SDN as well...
On the otherhand, ABAP is more of a hobby for me and I am not a guru at it like many others here. If I were to post it here myself... then I could benefit from other contributions to improving it and making it more robust - like an open source project.
Just some thoughts,
Julius

Development and Quality Assurance clients on the same instance

Hello,
Is possible to work in parallel with two clients: one for Development and the other for Quality Assurance on one SAP Solution Manager instance: SID?
Regards,
Lui Peng

Hi
It is possible and you can have DEV and QA on same server
We have at one location 2 server solman landscape in which we have DEV(100) and QA(200) on 1st server and PRD(100) on another server.
Hope it clarifies your doubt

Development and consolidation same system

Hello All,
Can i declare both the development and consolidation as the same system without specifying test and production system in a track? If yes then is there any other factors to be considered?
Also the SC state is in grey whereas if i click synchronize DC dependencies it turns green. Any suggestions on this?
Regards,
Anand

HI,
Can i declare both the development and consolidation as the same system without specifying test and production system in a track?
you can declare development and consolidation as the same system. but then you wont be able to distnguish between the changes you made.
keeping consolidation virtual is an good option than keeping development and consolidation as the same system.
and without specifying test system is not a good option, test system should have to be there, as at that stage only you assemble and check you development as a complete application.
