Exposing MDM vendor information through the Portal

We are looking to expose certain MDM vendor information (such as; create, modify, etc) through the Portal and allow the users to update their information via the portal.
For example, vendor X will log onto the portal, they will only see their specific vendor details and will be able to modify their address, bank details, etc... through a number of iViews.
Please assume that we will be using the latest version of MDM (5.5 SP3?) and EP6.0 SP14.
My questions are:
- is there a business package that will provide us with that specific functionality?
- if not what is the best way (if it is actually possible) of exposing this functionality through the portal (I guess we would need to create a web dynpro component)?
Many thanks

Hi James,
We have business package for MDM SP3 with some built-in iviews, which was released in Nov/Dec 2005. They also have create/modify iviews.
But they don't have iViews to add to a qualified table. In your case for Bank details I don't think you can use the existing iviews.
Thanks

SUS Vendor sending information through the portal

I have some questions, which I think are causing some of our issue;
1. When I change a PO in R/3 should the otuput message be a change or should I delete that one and create one as if it was the first time I was sending the PO to send it to SUS?
2. I created a PO with one line item in R/3 and send it to SUS, now it is on "process" status, then I added a line in R/3 and send it to SUS, but when it goes to SUS there are no buttons available to process that second line item. I have one line item in process and the second one as New the vendor cannot do anything with it.
I would really appreciate your help on these SUS questions.
Thanks,
Claudia Hardeman

Hi Claudia,
1. In MM-SUS scnenario, we configure same output type for ORDERS (new document) & ORDCHG
(document change). Depending on output type configuration, program will identify and assign an output
type to PO and only change will be send to SRM automatically.
We define it in SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Messages > Output control > Message types > Define message types for Purchase Order
2. The second issue seems to be a message mapping problem in XI.

SCSM 2012 - password reset facility through the portal

HI,
I have what would seem some very basic questions about resetting passwords through the portal, but I hope someone can help.
1. My company want users to be able to reset their own passwords, so they see on their from loging screen an option to reset or unlock the password. I don't believe this is achievable in SCSM - is that correct?
2. Is there any 'plug-in' to SCSM or other System Center product to achieve this?
3.I believe that SCSM for password resets is really designed so that a manager (or someone you decide has the relevant authority) can reset one of their staff's passwords - is that correct?
4. This is outside of SCSM maybe, but has anyone got any recommendation for a password reset tool? for a small company of under 1000 staff.
I am looking to use the System Center products but don't think they have the option my customer is looking for.
Sorry for so many questions.

Hi tamrep.
If I understand this correctly, you need users to be able to reset their own password if they have forgotten it 'pre-logon' If this is the case, there is an add-on for SCSM - by
Cased Dimensions. However, you are also correct in thinking that this is possible without add-ons if you want managers (or other designated users) to be able to request password resets.
The latter is the most common method I have implemented, and generally works well.
Another alternative would be to use Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) as this has the capability to do this also.

How do I access the remote(requesting) clients IP address through the Portal API?

How can I access the remote(requesting) clients IP address through the Portal API?
On our 4.5 - IIS system, we can acces it using the Request.ServerVariables("Remote_Addr") in the ASP pages.
We are deploying 5.0 on Java Portal and would like to be able to do this through the Portal's API so I can call it in one of our custom login Activity space or control etc.
I have looked documentation for the HTTPServletRequest object. It seems like we should be able to access it through one of the methods getRemoteAddr if we can get a handle to HTTPServletRequest object through the Plumtree's framework.
I think the XPRequest object encapsulates the HTTPServletRequest but I didn't see getRemoteAddr method listed in the Javadocs.
Is there a way to access the client's IP address through the Plumtree's framework?
I need to do this so we know the location of the user and in our business case we have fixed IP adresss which let us identify which location is user accessign the system from. We can't do this through preferences or profile because we have to use generic userid for the specifc group of users.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Vanita

Hi, Vanita. For now, you can use
stringsClientIP = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"].ToString();
Hope that helps!

Automatically add a users primary computer in an incident request submitted through the portal

Hi,
How could i automatically add a users primary computer in an incident request submitted through the portal in a way that is transparent to the user? Is this possible to set up in scsm 2012 R2?
If not, is it possible to set up an orchestrator runbook or something for this?

Hi,
Yes, you could do this with a Runbook in Orchestrator. There's some things to think about though.
- If the user have several primary computers, how would you know which one to relate to the incident?
- How can you be sure that the user is reporting an issue about his Primary Computer?
- Are you sure you want to relate the computer to an Incident even if the incident is about something else, like a mobile phone issue?

Workflow for Vendor Creation through a portal.

Hi All Workflow Experts,
I have a scenario here.In my project vendor is created through a portal.On submit button from portal the workflow is to be triggered.I have to design the workflow process.So can you please guide me through what all should i consider while i design this workflow?
This is my first workflow assignment so if you explain in detail it will be a great help.
I will just pen down what all scenarios i can think of:
1.Start workflow after vendor creation or modification.
2.Check whether approver are maintained in Org structure through standard FMu2019s.
3.Check If approvers are maintained ?
4.If yes,approve or reject the vendor.
5.If no,get the agents from the custom table who can take an action on this.
This is what i can think of.
Please guide me.
Thanks in Advance,
Saket.

The corresponding BO related with the vendor creation or changing is LFA1 but this Business object doeanot have any events that are related to Create and Change , so try to create a ZLFA1 and add you own events or make use of delegation concept where you will create a delegation for LFA1.
For your first isssue
Start workflow after vendor creation or modification
EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 Vendors: User Exit for Checks prior to Saving is the user exit where in you can call the workflow when ever you change or create , because this user exit will trigger when ever you try to save the vendor. so i think you can make use of this user exit
For your second Issue
Check whether approver are maintained in Org structure through standard FMu2019s.
Make use of SWI_GET_USERS_OF_ORG_UNIT this fucntion mdoule to get the user of the ORG unit
or you can create a Rule(for determining the agents dynamically) to find the approvers.

Dynamic page information from the portal database?

Is it possible to get information about existing dynamic pages from the portal database? We're upgrading our portal from 9.0.4 to 10.1.4 and because we will be running the new version on a different platform, we can't run any upgrade scripts and need to build again from scratch. I was hoping I could pull dynamic page information from a portal view or table into a spreadsheet, to save our developers having to click into each dynamic page application in the old version to get the pl/sql code to copy and paste into the new version. The generated dynamic page packages just have api calls, so it may be possible that there's an api to do this. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how to do it? Thanks.

How do I retrieve document information from the portal tables?

Hi, I'm really stuck on this and any help would be much appreciated.
I want to select out document information using the categories and perspectives as search criteria, I've written the following select statement but am not sure that this is the correct way to do it and I keep getting a 'unhandled user-defined exception ... at PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO'
(I have set the context before running the sql)
select id, display_name, description, real_filename, mime_type, doc_size
from
portal.wwsbr_all_items, portal.wwv_document$
where
wwsbr_all_items.filename = wwv_document$.name
and category_id=(select id from portal.wwsbr_all_categories where name = 'MY_CATEGORY')
and id in (select item_id from portal.wwsbr_item_perspectives where upper(perspective_name) = 'MY_PERSPECTIVE')
and is_current_version = 1 and (expiredate IS NULL or expiredate > sysdate)

How to send a file through the portal

Hello,
I have a problem in sending the file. I have selected a file kris.ppt and from context menu, I have selected sent to option and I have sent a file. I got a copy of that to my lotus notes but in that I had a format as kris.ppt.html. I cannot open the file. I can open the file when the portal is running. But I want to open the file when the portal is closed. Can anyone tell me the solution.
cheers
kris

Hello Shankar,
I tried that option also by default I'm getting 2 options.
One is the kris.ppt.html and other is the kris.ppt. I cannot open the first one rather I could open the second. I can open the 1st one if the portal is opened. Can you suggest anything regarding that one.
cheers

SRM-MDM Catalog - issue in the Portal (Employee Self-Services - Shopping C)

Dear SAP,
When we quit a web page in SRM-JAVA system, we get this issue in our production system.
We do not have this issue to our DEV and QAS system :
============================================================
Exception occured during processing of Web Dynpro application

nested.

navigation instead to navigate to another application !
============================================================
There is a different behavior between our QAS system (working) and the
productive system (not working):
On calling the MDM-Catalog, a short URL is called to open the catalog.
On returning the shopping cart back to SRM, there is in QAS system the
same short URL, but in PROD system there is an URL (instead of a short URL):
1. Test System QAS --> Only one URL (In / Out) : IT WORKS

Exposing SAP systems directly through Portal

Hello All,
If we expose the SAP systems directly through the Portal by creating transaction iviews, Are there any security lapses. I could see a great advantage of users having the internet enabled usage of SAP systems of their organisation.
Is this a recommended approach for an organization who doesnot any external users to the organisation and have only just internal users.
Thanks in adavnce.
Regards,
Kalyan.

> Is this a recommended approach for an organization
> who doesnot any external users to the organisation
> and have only just internal users.
Yes, because to create transaction iviews you also need to specify the system object representing the backend sap system which has a property called Logon Method which can be either "User Mapping" or "Logon Tickets".
In either case you have to map a portal user to the backend user.
So only if a portal user also has some mapping done by means of Logon ticket/User mapping to the backend system can he/she see the transaction.
P.S. Do let me know if you need more help.

Passing information from external asp file and getting it in the portal

Hi,
I think that the answer for my question is simple but I'm not sure how it is done.
I would like to pass information from asp page(microsoft server pages) to the portal and extract the information in the portal
I know how to how to pass the the information as POST or GET method
but how do I extract the infomation within an iView ?
and what is the portal URL I need to call from the asp page ? a page URL or an iView URL ?
Thanks
Y.R

Hi,
In order to use an ASP application in the portal u have to first create a system. In the System Definition Properties, give the url of your ASP page in the Name of server field and the name of the ASP page in the URI field.
For more clear understanding, please go through the following document
