EP6 SP2 SAP support

Hi I have read for some time ago that SAP stops to support the EP6 SP2 platform in 2006. Is this correct or has I misunderstood something?
Regarding support is it then only release of new Patches or is it also their Notes support?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
John Stubbe

Hi John,
Mainstream maintenance of EP6 SP2 is untill 12/31/06. You can choose to apply for extended maintenance but there is additional cost. Check http://service.sap.com/maintenance for more details
Hope this helps,
John

SAP Web Dispatcher in Front of EP6 SP2?

For increased network security, is it possible to put a Web Dispatcher in front of an EP6 SP2 J2EE engine?
The Web Dispatcher would be in the DMZ with the J2EE in the next layer of the DMZ.
If so, is is also possible to have a Web Dispatcher then XI server?
If the above are not possible, what is the best solution?
Thanks.

If you are referencing SAP Web Dispatcher, then yes, your scenarios are possible. Usually, the XI server would be located where the SAP Portal apps would be. You can read,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/42/5cfd3b0e59774ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm
If you are refering to just a web dispatcher (ISA, IIS), it typically resides infront of your Apps (i.e. Portal, XI).

Thanks in advance.
Talis Treichel

Hi Talis Treichel,
Have you found any solution to solve this? I am having a similar scenario in my project and I am using App Integrator for integrating Documentum Webtop
via user id pwd mapping.
But it is giving me an error saying java.lang.null pointer exception.
I guess the parameters its not taking.
Here are some details:
Main Page: http://<server>:<port>/webtop/component/main?Reload=1137919145246&_dmfFrameId=Login_dialog
This page contains user id and pwd.
The view source of this page contains the below information:
<form name=Login_0 action=/webtop/sdk/system/login/login.jsp method=post>
<input type=text name=Login_username_0 id=LoginUsername> <input type=password name=Login_password_0 id=LoginPassword>
Based on the above info I gave the following:
URL Template: <System.protocol>://<System.server>:<System.port><System.uri>?<Authentication>
URL template fraction for user mapping: Login_username_0=<MappedUser>&Login_password_0=<MappedPassword>
Authentication method: POST
Please help how can we solve the null pointer exception problem

Enhancements made in EP6 SP2 patches 28 & 29.

What are the enhancements made in EP6 SP2 patches 28 & 29.
What I mean to say is that what are the new features added in Patches 28 & 29. here I exclude Bug fixes.
I can go to the central note for patch 28 : 793582 and can get a list of notes which indicate bug fixes done in Patch 28
Similar way, I can go to the central note for patch 29 : 803871 and can get a list of notes which indicate bug fixes done in Patch 29
What I am really concerned is regarding new features added in these two patches (Patch 28 & 29) separately.
Are there any new features added in these two Patch releases. If yes, Where are they documented.
Are they documented separately or their respective guides are updated.
Your help is really appreciated.

Hi Robert, hi Suneel,
> Patch 28 & 29 are not listed there yet.
Not quite right, Robert, I don't know what a dreadfully old version you have looked on... It is listed, but it is explicitely said that both patches, 28 & 29, have
"no new features or enhancements to existing functionality. It is cumulative as of Patch 5. Please refer to Patch 5 and Patch 27 documentation for information about previous enhancements."
The document is retrievable without access to service.sap.com: http://help.sap.com/download/documentation/netweaver/ep/FeaturesEP6SP2Patches_v2.5.pdf
It's a pity that SAP publishes the version name within the link, so if a new version exists, one has to know (or to look via service.sap.com).
Hope it helps

PS: Suneel, please consider rewarding points for people like Robert Thanks in advance

Suneel Razdan

Hello
I have resolved it !!!
That's usually caused by the database not containing a valid config framework tree. In all cases so far this happened as part of the user killing the java vm in a situation where one should have waited for the cancel button to return.
I restored the target database with the backup
taken before started the migration and rerun the tool on
the target. You can continue to use the MigrationInput.zip file.

EP6 SP2 Jco / System Alias Question

Hi all,
I'm developing a number of Iviews on an EP6 SP2 system connected to a 4.6C box. I have two problems that I'd be grateful for some help with.
1) How do I make use of the System Aliases set up in the portal via Jco ?
I know I can use the direct connection
JCO.createClient("001", // SAP client
          "<userid>", // userid
          "****", // password
             "EN", // language
                "<hostname>", //
          "00"); // system number
but it would be much easier if I could use the configured System Alias called "UKSAP" which has been set-up in each Portal box.
2) I believe that EP6 SP2 will not require connection pooling in the jco code. Is this correct ?
Cheers
Richard

Hi,
We are trying to do pretty much the same thing you are, I am trying to get my Java iview to use the System Alias to connect to an R/3 JCO destination.
Could you elaborate on your findings in this regard. I am currently getting the following error : "Target for system alias SAP_R3_HumanResources not found in system landscape"
I have entered the connection info for this target into the jcoDestinations.xml and I've created a system in the portal with the alias SAP_R3_HumanResources...
Thanks in advance,

Looking for evalution download of EP6 SP2 for linux

Is it possible to find a evaluation version of the SAP Portal EP6 SP2 for linux. To evalutate and check the installation procedure.

Under downloads -> Webas there is a 640 release of the webas for linux. Installing this is basically the same as installing the portal.

Does Sap Supports Linux

Dear Masters..
Please Let me Know Does Sap Supports Linux OS other than XP
Zubair

Hi Mohamed
From the SAP Portal:-
The application supports the Microsoft SQL Server database. Additional system requirements are Microsoft Windows Server (2003 R2, 2003 SP1), Microsoft Windows Business Server (2003 R2, 2003 SP1) and Microsoft Windows XP SP2 (standalone installations only) as well as Microsoft Windows XP SP2 Professional (workstation platforms). The application also supports Microsoft Office (2003 SP1, 2007 und XP SP2). Further Windows operating systems will be supported in the future. The open architecture of SAP Business One will integrate with SAP Business Suite, as well as other independent software vendors, allowing companies to realize the extensive benefits of SAP from the largest division to the smallest subsidiary.
So it seems that Linux is not an option at present

EP6 SP2 hardware key / installation number

Hi all,
unfortunately the license of an EP6 SP2 has expired and I need to find out what are the hardware key and the installation number of this portal in order to renew the license.
As the admin pwd is lost and the sap* user/pwd combination do not work in order to log on to the portal and retrieve the system information via the system admin tab I am wondering if I can find both (hardware key and inst. no.) in the database or on the filesystem. If yes, where??
Any input on this would be greatly appreciated :)!
Thanks alot in advance!
BR Helga

Hi Helga,
One way to enable SAP* is
1. Copy your current sapum.properties.bak to sapum.properties (/usr/sap/XXX/j2ee/cluster/ume)
[ This would only work if this is the original sapum.properties when you initially installed.]
If you copy over the properties from the direct editing
(i.e sapum.properties is in sync with the properties in
the database )tab then set the following properties in the sapum.properties is set.
ume.superadmin.activated=true
2. Restart the server.
Side Effect: You have to redo the UM configuration
Now you can logon as SAP* and get the system information.
Alternative 1:( This may or may not work. I don't have access to the environment or documentation to check out.)
Through Visual Administrator see server license information.
To Access the Admin documentation by the following URL;
http://your portal server:50000/index.html
Hope this helps

EP6 SP2 ICrawler XCrawler

Hallo all,
I want to implement a Crawler for EP6 SP2 and found out in the Java docs that ICrawler is deprecated for EP6 SP2 and that XCrawler should be used. But I can't find any information (e.g. java docs or sample coding) for XCrawler replacing ICrawler. Neither do I find the necessary libraries for implementing a crawler.
Could someone please point me to the right place to look for libraries/docs/samples? Or does anyone know something about ICrawler / XCrawler implementation on EP6 SP2?
Thanks a lot for any input on this!
Best Regards
Helga

Hi Helga,
with XCrawler, it seems that (I)XCrawlerService is meant. In fact, there is no XCrawler class provided with EP6 SP2.
For JavaDoc, see https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/javadocs/nw04 sp9/km/com/sapportals/wcm/service/xcrawler/ixcrawlerservice.html
Hope it helps

KM feature difference between Netweaver and EP6 SP2.

Folks,
I need to come up with advantages of upgrading our EP6 SP2 ) environment to Netweaver stack. . I have heard a lot about it. I now need to document this.
Now I want to make a solid case of this to my Management and get their buy in.
Where can I find information where I can get a comparison primarily from a KM standpoint, and overall portal feature set.
Based on this I have to come with a ROI model that will help us migrate to Netweaver stack.
Any help would be appreciated. And I promise to return and reward the answers. thanx rj.

Pretty much everything is explained in here:
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/706005a3-3bd6-2910-91ae-a2016239bdcf">SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1 Overview of New Capabilities</a>
I think there's a weblog with a concise list somewhere, but I dont have the link saved.
Hope that helps.

WebDynpro deployment on EP6-SP2?

Hi,
Is it possible to directly deploy webdynpros (developed with NWDS)on EP6-SP2.
I know that onecan access a webdynpro(deployed on WAS6.40) through a webdynpro-iview-template in EP6-SP2.
thnx
meesum

Meesum,
do you want to run your WDs directly on the EP6 SP2 host? If so: No, you can't deploy them there, as EP6 SP2 is based on SAP Web AS 6.20 Java which does not provide a web dynpro runtime.
You can of course as you already mentioned integrate a remote WD application in SAP EP.

Dominik
