Establish SSO between OBIEE 10g/11g and SAP BW

We would like to know if there is a provision in SAP to use
Single-Sign-On mechanism between 3rd party reporting tool and SAP BW7,
where in the 3rd party tool uses XMLA connector.
The 3rd party tool that we are using is Oracle Business Intelligence
Suite Enterprise Edition Plus (OBIEE version 10.1.3.4.1) which connects
to SAP using XMLA connector.OBIEE is on Oracle Application Server (OC4J
server). We would like to now if there is single-sign-on mechanism
between OC4J and SAP.
If we use OBIEE 11g using Weblogic would we have any additional options
for single sign on with SAP BW7

Hi,
ABAP stack should support SAML in newer version (maybe 7.02). Anyway, SSO cookie has a simple structure and it's signed by private key. The receiving system just verifies signature using public key.I've seen somewhere on net that somebody uses proxy to authenticate user, generate SSO ticket and redirect user to SAP system. So you could try to implement custom solution. Obviously, these homemade solutions have disadvantages.
Good luck,
Cheers

Different ways to establish SSO between Portal and ADP

Hi,
We are implementing payroll with the help of ADP.
Please let me know different ways of establishing SSO between portal and ADP
Thanks
Bala Duvvuri

You may a few issues. SSO with logon tickets is based on accessing web sites in the same domain. So, if the portal is on http://ourportal.company.com, then the web site being accessed needs to have a URL like http://adphosted.company.com. Is the ADP system accessible by a DNS alias that is within company.com? If so, you're OK. If not, then there will be problems.
The other SSO method is user mapping, but the security implications are not good...

Problem to connect between Oracle 10g xe and VB2010 at Vista sp2

Introduction
Hi guys, good day... NEED RESCUE!! SOS!! Hmm.. i have trouble been 1 weeks trying connect between Oracle 10g xe and VB2010 on window vista sp2. Actaully im very new at Oracle 10g xe and VB2010 but i got a project is going to build up system database and i figure out Oracle 10g xe and VB2010 can use free so i just chows these appication to be my project. I been search around internet and there is several things i was found about the connection but i has try and tried still it wont work out.
Things i found and learned
Oracle
1. I have download Oracle 10g XE and installed in my windows vista sp2.
2. I notice the Oracle Developer Tools is needed for VB2010 (To add reference 'Oracle.DataAccess'). So i was downloaded ODT11beta and installed
3. I also edit TNSNAMES to following below:
OraDb =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = shin-PC)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
4. My sqlnet like following below:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
5.I have try tnsping OraDB and its works.
6. I monitoring task manager and OracleServicesXE is running.
7. ora_dba is added in Group.
Problem in SQLPLUS
When i try connect SQLPLUS in cmd i get ERROR: ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
i . In cmd i type sqlplus and enter then i been ask for username and password.
ii. After i insert my username and password and enter then i get the error of ORA-12560.
Visual Basic 2010
1. First i created my project, drawing label and button for test connection.
2. Then, i add reference Oracle.DataAccess into my project.
3. I type following script into my vb form:
Imports System.Data
Imports Oracle.DataAccess.Client
Imports Oracle.DataAccess.Types
Public Class Logon
Private Sub cmdLogon_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdLogon.Click
Dim oradb As String = "Data Source = OraDb; User Id = system; Password = shin;"
Dim conn As New OracleConnection(oradb)
conn.Open()
Dim cmd As New OracleCommand
cmd.Connection = conn
cmd.CommandText = "select SName from Staff where SName = shin"
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
Dim dr As OracleDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
dr.Read()
lblOra.Text = dr.Item("SName")
conn.Dispose()
End Sub
End Class
Problem in VB2010
When i run my project and press the button i get error message ORA-12514: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified at conn.Open()
Extra Question*
1. Im notice in my netbook xp home sp2, before i install ODT11beta my sqlplus look fine thought cmd but after i installed ODT11beta its same problem with my Vista sp2 now. Get error ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error :( I tried uninstall ODT11beta again and restart its work fine again. Which i really dun understand. Izzit the version ODT11 is not suitable for 10g xe? And i dunno this problem is related with my connection between oracle 10g xe and vb2010 or not. So confuse@@
2. I wish to know more about connect between Oracle and VB, is there still a things i miss?(I mean steps or configuration that should i done)
3. Or i just lower my VB version could make more easy? If yes, what version VB should i use that could work out with oracle 10g xe?
4. Sorry for too bad my english but i really wish somebody could help me. Please try to understand my written or you could ask me mean if dont understand. Im stuck!! Stuck feel not really that good.....

Huhu..
Yo, henry
I thought the OraDb is just a name for entry but im not sure it is a service. I was refer http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/cook-vs08.html at topic Connection Strings and Objects.
Here is my lsnrctl service

Izzit ok? I notice there is no listed OraDb. but tnsping OraDb seem fine.
Actually there is somethings as a newbie i wondering long time alreadly ><
1. The origin of tnsname.ora is no OraDb or ORCL but i just simple add it by open tnsname.ora with notepad. Im just not sure it is function or not.
Also please check at my TNSNAME.ORA:
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = shin-PC)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)

OraDb =

I got the feeling there is so close~~~!!!

Problem: Establishing SSO between EP7.0(UC) to SRM 4.0(non unicode)

Dear gurus
While creating SSO between EP 7.0 and SRM 4.0(non Unicode)....while uploading the certificate with SSO2 tool from portal....by selecting add trusted system, The system throwing error message like:
Error occurred: Selected system does not have SSO Model deployed.
is there any restrictions are there for unicode system to Non system...Actually by using my EP system i am able to connect the BI7.0 system very well, where i am getting the erro with SRM 4.0 system only
any help please
Thanks in advance

No, there are no such restrictions for SAP Logon Tickets / Assertion Tickets and Unicode vs. Non-Unicode systems.
If you are using the [NWA Trust Configuration Wizard|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1083421] then it might happen that the [ABAP backend system does not provide the required APIs|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1014077]. In that case you have to setup the SSO2 trust relationship manually (using ABAP transaction STRUSTSSO2).

Difference Between OBIEE 10g and OBIEE 11g

Hi everyone,
I have a doubt when choosing two versions of OBIEE, 10g and 11g.
Actually, is there any big difference between 10g and 11 version ?
From the point of view of easiness finding tutorial in internet, simplicity of using the tool, and other considerations, which one is better ?
I hope you guys could also explain with your arguments.
Thanks

Hi,
Few differences..
Architectures-
OBIEE 11g architecture...http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/07/09/obiee-11gr1-architecture-and-use-of-weblogic-server/
OBIEE 10g architecture....http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/obiee_overview
Features-
New features in OBIEE11g...Re: OBIEE 11g
http://blogs.oracle.com/robreynolds/2010/07/new_administration_features_of.html
I have a doubt when choosing two versions of OBIEE, 10g and 11g.If you are new to OBIEE its best to start with 10g,there are lot changes in 11g.It takes time to get used to it and you many not get enough docs or material to read,may face some new issues also.
Actually, is there any big difference between 10g and 11 version ? Yes there are some differences between them...you can see them in above links.(many things like graphs,server)
From the point of view of easiness finding tutorial in internet, simplicity of using the tool, and other considerations, which one is better ?For sure obiee 10g as 11g is new many of them just started using it,so you may get less help on this if you face issues & may not get enough tutorial in internet and OBIEE10g is bit easy to use.
Its best to you go for OBIEE10g,parallely you can try 11g.

Few questions about OWB migration 10g---- 11g and UIODs

I am curretly migrating OWB repository from 10g to 11g.
Both repositories are on the same database.
We just have one single Project in our Repository. It is actually(preinstalled) MY_PROJECT renamed into something else. So it has the UOID of the "default" MY_PROJECT but of course, physical and business names are different.
Because we renamed MY_PROJECT, complications occured when we first tried to do the repository upgrade the recommended way, with repository assistant. During the upgrade processes , the error came that the objects with same UOIDs but different names exist.
Obviously, MY_PROJECT from the 10g repository collided with the new, preinstalled, MY_PROJECT in the (almost) empty 11g repository/workspace.
Also, MY_PROJECT in 11g workspace has exactly the same UOID as the one created in 10g repository.
I was told by Oracle support that this was a bug-but they do not see it as high priority, so we had to do workaround --the migration of the repository on 11g.
Now my first Question: Was it completely insane to use MY_PROJECT for your actual ongoing Project? We never had any other problem with this constallation.I also noticed in forums that people indeed use MY_PROJECT for their work.
The second question: Has anybody , ever, seen the same problem, when trying to upgrade to 11g ?
The migration procedure is as follows:
-install 11g Workspace with Repository Assistant
-Export locations and data from 10g repository
-Import locations and data in 11g repository- thé update option -matching on UOID..so we do not get problem with MY_PROJECT
-register locations in11g repository
-deploy all mappings and workflows
Now, this all works fine..and our new 11g repository runs without problem..
I am still puzzled by few things :
New 11g repository is almost empty apart from MY_PROJECT and DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION. Now, MY_PROJECT in 11g has the same UOID as in oracle 10. But DAFAULT_CONFIGURATION in 11g has different UOID from DAFAULT_CONFIGURATION in 10g. It is always the same UIOD for every new 11g installation (I've upgraded repository on many databases).
Now 3rd question: Is there any particular reason why DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION has different UOID in 11g and MY_PROJECT hast the same UOID ? Is there any logic behind it -that I fail to grasp ?
Another thing. I said that I am importing complete Project in the new repository with update option with matching on UIOD. I should get a problem with DAFAULT_CONFIGURATION, I thought, since it is in the full export of the Project and DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION has different UOID than in 11g repository.
But I did not get the problem at all.Default Configuration was simply skipped during the import - visible from the import log.
Therefore 4th question : Why didnät OWB try to import DEAFULT_CONFIG? Is it "internal" object and as such cant't be changed ?
The reason I am so obsessed with UOIDs is that we have automated release procedure (between development, test and production repositores) which is based on comparing UOIDs.
Therefore a s slight trace of concearn on my side, because the DEAFULT CONFIG now has different UOIDs than before. But on the other side, we just propagate mappings and workflows between repositories - I do not see why the default config should matter here .
Thank very much in advance for any answers/suggestions/ideas and comments!
