Enterprise Portal - MDM - LDAP integration

We are succesfully able to integrate Portal to MDM with a trusted connection and with portal users existing in LDAP and mdm users existing in MDM console.
We also successfully integrated MDM with LDAP so that we dont have to store users in console, but manage them in LDAP. But once we did the LDAP integration, portal to MDM connection was lost saying mdm user details could not be retrieved.
Has anybody faced this issue? what key steps to taken care during MDM-LDAP integration.

Hi goerge,
When ever we integrate MDM with LDAP, we need to make a setting in MDS.ini file.
Please check the "User Identifier" setting in MDS.ini file.
Typically this should be The name of the LDAP id field which will match the value the user provides as the Username at logon.
Make the entry in MDS.ini like User Identifier = cn or SamAccountName.
If that is done, please verify other parameters corresponding to LDAP in MDS.ini as per the table 91 in Page no 291 in MDM Console referece guide.
Or refer to the SAP note 1635338 for reference which is pointing to same issue.
This should solve your problem.

MDM LDAP Integration

Hi,
We have integrated MDM with LDAP, by creating LDAP Roles & mapping them with MDM Roles. We are having log entries for Admin user for all repositories after every 10 milli-seconds. Any idea why these entries, how to stop this?

How to connect LDAP to Enterprise Portal

Hi Guru,
            I need complete steps to connect LDAP into enterprise portal as LDAP is microsoft AD existing one.
        I am confuse about the user mapping and authenticatation, compareing and Single sign one. Does we are calling Log on ticket to the first screen of enterprise portal where we enter user ID and password or ?.
             One situation is that one SAP Enterprise portal acts as comparing user id against AD(LDAP) and issue logon ticket. Other system who is accepting the logon ticket is also SAP Netweaver and has its own portal. It has it own login module.
          My first question is " How to establish connection to AD in to on SAP Enterprise Portal
Second is " How to establish connection to that SAP enterprise portal to SAP Netweaver own portal".
Third is " If we are trying to access to SAP Netweaver application through SAP Enterprise portal , how we can able to access, do we need to accesss through ivew of SAP Enterprise portal only or can we access the SAP Netweaver application as soon as we enter userid/passwd on first screen of Enterprise portal directly to SAP Netweaver application, without user the ivew of Enterprise portal
        If you guys understood this situation let me as soon as possible, cuz my boss is on my head. of send me your contack info to my email: [email protected]
Thanks
Happy

Rowlevel secuirty in Crystal reports when integrated in Enterprise portal

I have a very simple crystal report which is developed against ECC data using the Open Sql Driver.
Do I have to included some kind of code/logic in the report design for the SAP row-level security that already exists on SAP server to pass to the Crystal reports when report is run from the portal.
Please suggest me the possible solution for this.?

Ingo,
Your input previously was very helpful.
I do have one more question for you.
If a Crystal report is designed using Open Sql Driver against ECC tables and this report is published on to BO Enterprise and both the BO and the SAP Enterprise Portal are both integrated, row level security is also implemented on SAP server.
Now, when SAP user logs into the SAP Enterprise Portal and try to run this crystal report will then the user receive a database logon pop window to enter the client#, SAP login ID and Pwd like we receive it in the Crystal Designer?
If Yes, I believe there is nothing to be taken care of at the Crystal designer level to include some kind of Special fields like CurrentCEUserID and so. In this case the data fetched on to the report already includes Users row level security.
If No, how to configure crystal reports to pull data based on the user and user's role....what kind of special fields have to be included in the record selection or in the data base pop window of the report...?
Please provide your inputs...

Q: BOBJ reports in SAP Enterprise Portal?

Hi,
We want to be able to access Business Objects reports (Crystal Reports and WebIntelligence Reports) via the SAP Enterprise Portal. The integration between SAP BI and BOBJ is completed, and we can create WebI and CR reports based on our SAP queries, but we have not been able to understand how to publish the reports in the portal.
Does anybody have any idea of how to publish these reports (for instance if it is possible to create a direct link to the report in InfoView)?
Any help appreciated,
Thank you in advance,
Mikael

Hi Mikael,
this is the quick (URL iView) but not the recommended (BOBJ iView Template) way:
1. Log on the BOBJ InfoView, locate your report and look at its properties. Write down its CUID.
2. Go into the SAP Portal and create a new URL iView using following URL
http://<name of bobj web server:port of boboj web server>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=<CUID of your report>
Regards,
Stratos
NOTE: The openDocument URL works for BOBJ XI 3.x installations with Tomcat. Please look in the documentation about the syntax if you are using IIS.

Process flow - Active Directory integration with Enterprise Portal

Hi
I have seen number of documents/forum discussions on integrating Microsoft Active Directory (LDAP) with Enterprise Portal, but unable to find out the process flow for achieving the same.
I have installed Enterprise Portal 6 (SP13) running on Web AS 640 (J2EE Standalone). The UME is currently configured to use Java database. (i.e datasourceconfiguration_database_only.xml)
I intend to proceed as below for integrating with Active Directory and integrate with Windows authentication:
1) Configure UME to use an LDAP Server as Data Source using Config Tool
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/cc/cdd93f130f9115e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
2) Configure Enterprise Portal UME i.e http://<host name>:50000/irj - System Administration - System Configuration - UM Configuration
<b>Should I configure Data Sources & LDAP Server here as I have already configured these using J2EE Config tool (point no.1).</b>
3) Integrate Windows authentication with EP using IISProxy module.
I hope the above will enable me to logon to Portal without supplying username and password once you are logged on to the PC using your Windows user name and password.
Also, any schema updates required to Activie Directory i.e What additional data is stored in A.D.
I would appreciate your guidance on this.
Thanks in advance,
Chandu

Hi Chandau,
you wanted that some users are not taken into account by the User Management Engine (UME).
This behavior can be established by specifying the
ume.ldap.negative_user_filter property for the LDAP data sources in the data source configuration file. Using this property one can define that all users and accounts that
match the defined conditions are filtered out by the UME API.
A detailed documentation can be found in the SAP Online Help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9a/f43541b9cc4c0de10000000a1550b0/
content.htm
In the following example of a data source configuration file for Microsoft Active Directory
Server the attribute userPrincipalName is used as Logon ID of a portal user id (j_user).
Here the user accounts that have one of the following Logon IDs (index_service,
notificator_service and cmadmin_service ) are filtered out.
<dataSources>
</dataSource>
<dataSource id="CORP_LDAP">
<privateSection>
<ume.ldap.negative_user_filter>
userPrincipalName=[index_service,notificator_service,cmadmin_service]
</ume.ldap.negative_user_filter>
</privateSection>
</dataSource>
</dataSources>

Portal & MDM to use central user base (something like LDAP)?

Hi all
Portal & MDM can we use as a central base like LDAP??
please let me know is it possible or not??
regards
Suresh

Hi
No,We can not use the portal or MDM as only for persisting of users.Generally Portal is nothing but its like a corporate portal designed based on the role performed by each employee,Its like umbrella for various applications integrated together.
MDM is used for normalization and Harmonizing the data also for synking the same single truth of data across the business.
They are not designed to just store user data.
Normally a LDAP server is used to store user info and EP is going to fetch the users from LDAP.
If you need you can use MDM to normalize the user data stored in other places like DB or LDAP server.

Integration of WEBI report in SAP Enterprise portal

Hi Colleagues,
I want to create my adhco report using WEBI and want to publish it to SAP NW Enterprise portal .
While creating the i view in the EP i dint find any option in i view template in order to create an i view for WEBI report .
However there is an option to choose crystal report as a template while creating an i view but nothing for WEBI and Xcelsius as such. So how can we embedd our Xcelsius and WEBI report in SAP Enterprise portal .
Is there any option to intergate the SAP NW Enterprise portal and BO Portal .
Kindly sugest.
Vibhav.

You should be using opendocument links if using EP. with opendocument the URL contains all the pertinent info.
refer to chapter 8 of the SAP Integration kit guide for more info.
Post in the webi, general, or check out the outher documents link in the forum sticky post for the latest opendocument doc.

Integrating the Google Web-Service in Enterprise Portal

Hi,
I am trying to integrate Google WebService in SAP Enterprise Portal. I created the Client side portal service from WSDL. From the PDK help I copied the GooglePage.java code and placed in the dynapage.
Now after porting the .par file I am getting the interface for search.But when I am clicking search button I am getting the following error..
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : NWEBService.MyGooglePage
Component Name : NWEBService.MyGooglePage
[EXCEPTION]
#1#com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.PortalComponentException: Error in service call of Portal Component
Component : NWEBService.MyGooglePage
Component class : com.tutorial.wsdl2service.MyGooglePage
During debugging I found out that in the following method which gets called on search button click
          public void onSearchButtonClicked(Event e) {
               InputField input = (InputField) this.getComponentByName("SearchInput");
               searchTerm = input.getValue().toString();
               System.out.println("search term: " + searchTerm);
               IMYGoogleService googleService = (IMYGoogleService) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService("com.tutorial.wsdl2service.MyGoogleService.Alias");
               GoogleSearchResult result = googleService.doGoogleSearch("GOOGLE ID", searchTerm, 0, 10, false, "", false, "", "", "");
               ResultElement[] results = result.getResultElements();
               searchResults = results;
               for (int i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
                    System.out.println((i + 1) + ": " + results<i>.getSummary());
The googleService.doGoogleSearch is returning nulll into result.When I checked into the implementation class MYGoogleService I found the method doGoogleSearch was empty and it is returning null.
Pl. let me know what is the procedure to to get search result through my portal.
Thanks & Regards

Enterprise portal integration with Oracle forms

Hi
Can anyone help me on this .
"Enterprise portal integration with Oracle forms".
I want to integrate oracle forms to EP .I am trying to work with app Integrator but I am not able to make any headway.Do you have any documents pertaining to this or any place where I can look for details.
Thanks
Alok

Hi,
i'm not aware of special integration feature with Oracle forms, but if as you said we are talking about a web application available via url then i see no problem doing so. the way you can implement the SSO is using something called Application Integrator which helps you build smart URL iView's that can use the portal framework (like systems, user profile , etc) , so you can build your oracle forms integration iView that will take the user password data from the portal (via system) using user mapping or sap logon tickets.
for more details on Application Integrator see
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/70/5a3842134bad04e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
regarding to the java applet, i don't really know what you mean by "jinitiator" but if your regular browser can do it then i see no reason for problems.
i hope it helps

Integration of SAP enterprise portal with ATG dynamo platform

This is more an architectural question.
There is an existing web application running on the ATG 5.x/6.x B2C platform that takes orders from dealers for a retailer. It integrates with a SAP system using proprietary integration mechanisms. This is the existing architecture.
There is a idea to use the SAP netweaver platform, specifically the SAP enterprise portal that will integrate with the ATG dynamo platform.
ATG 6.2 and above allows integration in 2 ways :
1) Use web services
2) Integration framework using JMS/RPC etc
[Pl. see the ATG documentation www.atg.com/support]
I have been reading thru number of articles on SAP netweaver and looking for multiple options for the above integration.
My theoretical understanding is:
a) Develop a connector to the ATG platform using connector framework and invoke a web service on the ATG platform that expose the business logic built on the ATG platform
b) Does SAP XI come into picture if the portal tries to create a business process out of one single application.
c) Are there any other options?
I'm completely new to the SAP netweaver platform but have a good idea on SOA.
Any help or inputs on this will be highly appreciated.

Hello,
I can give you a suggestion from the Connector framework point of view. We are currently developing a generic webservice connector which will enable to create content using CF, which will be sent as WS requests for function execution. The connector is planned to be released for New-York 7.1 Netweaver branch. For the mean time I can suggest, as you did, to develop your CF connector which will connect to ATG exposed WS.
Best Regards,
Ran

Error after Integrating of Xcelsius SWF into Enterprise Portal

Hi all,
I integrated Xcelsius SWF file into portal using Business Objects Integration Kit - iView Template. I can see dashboard in Portal. Its working fine. I have Refresh Button in the Dashboard. If I refresh the dashboard , it shows cannot access External Data. Failed to get the document information(LO26315).
How can I resolve? Help me in this regard.
I am using BOE 3.1 and LO 3.1.
Thanks & Regards,
Hemalatha J

With a Live Office connection, you would typically use the URL iView and the opendocument URL to integrate the dashboard into the Enterprise Portal. There are existing posts on this forum about opendocument and Xcelsius dashboards.
Obviously you need to make sure the dashboard refreshes fine outside of the portal, for instance from Infoview.
Then, you need to look at the cross domain constraints : have both Infoview and Enterprise Portal in the same domain or use crossdomain.xml. They are lots of posts on this forum about that too.

Integration of oracle datawarehouse to enterprise portal

Hi,
is it possible to connect/integrate an oracle datawarehouse to the enterprise portal? Has someone made this or has a reference of a client/company which made this integration?
Thanks,
Best regards,

Hello again,
Yes its very much possible. You will have to create a RFC / BAPI what ever you call it. And import it into WD Java project.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a00f7103-6790-2a10-ac9c-fcac7c5b18a3
