External ABAP system

I understand that SAP no longer recommends dual-stack installations except for Solution Manager. I want to install a new Netweaver 7.3 system to replace my existing Netweaver 7.0 sld instance. The installation guide (Windows/SQL) for a java-only 7.3 install gives an option to use an external ABAP system to help maintain users. Has anybody done this? Any problems with this?

Hi Rich,
Thank you for a quick reply,
Here is what I've done to connect to the remote ABAP system:
1. Configured this remote system in the SLD as a Technical System (SLD=> Technical Landscape).
2. Opened WebDynpro Content Administrator and created two JCO's for my application pointed to that remote ABAP system (defined in SLD). I was able to test them successfully reaching that remote system.
But when I run my application the same error occured.
What did I miss ?
Thanks & Regards,
Mike

Problem while connecting to external ABAP system (on 4.6C rel)

Hi All,
I've created WebDynpro application that is supposed to fetch info about users from several ABAP systems. J2EE engine that runs this WebDynpro is directly connected to one of the ABAP systems. I've successfully created identical Adaptive RFC models, maintained SLD entries for my ABAP systems and configured JCO connections for my WebDynpro through WebDynpro Content Manager (http://<host>:port/webdynpro/welcome). I was able to reach all ABAP systems testing my JCO connections from WebDynpro Content Manager.
The problem I am experiencing is the following:
the application is working fine for the ABAP system that J2EE (where it's executed) is connected to, but failed to reach the remote ABAP system issuing the following message:
"Accessing System <Remote ABAP system> is not possible because RFC Metadata was retrieved using System <ABAP system that J2EE is connected>. Please assure you have configured the RFC Connections properly. A Server restart may be necessary!"
Where else should I have define JCO settings ?
This remote ABAP system is running on 4.6C so I have no options to install J2EE on it or fully configure SLD for that system.
It may seem like a dummy question since I am new to WebDynpro programming.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

How to get data in ABAP program from multicube in external BW system

Hi friends,
     I want to get data from one multicube which resides in an external BW system, in my ABAP program internal table. Is there any SAP standard RFC / BAPI for this or is there any other way around or I have to design my own program to get the data ?
    To make my requirement clearer, my ABAP program is in one BW box and the above mentioned multicube in another BW box. I want to get data from the multicube into my program.
    Any help is appreciated with points.

Look at the following FM; you may find the FM RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC useful.
Call the FM in your program and read data and update.
RSAD_INFOCUBE_READ_REMOTE_DATA
RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC

How to allow login using email address (ALIAS) to Abap system

Hi,
we are developing some Abap Webdympro to logon to an Abap system, release Netweaver 731, in order to allow our end user to logon via Internet browser to this system.
So our Abap system is acting like a Portal system, but it's not a J2EE system, it's just a Netweaver Abap system with the following components installed:
SAP_BASIS
SAP_ABA
PI_BASIS
ST-PI
IW_BEP
SAP_BW
UI2_700
UI2_701
UI2_702
UI2_731
UI2_FND
UI2_SRVC
UI5_731
UISAPUI5
UI_INFRA
No SSO is configured on the ABAP system, and no connection to the LDAP directory is in place , and it is neither foresee.
In this moment we are able to login with the user-id of the user we created into the SU01, butt we would like to allow the access using the ALIAS of the users too.
The ALIAS of these users is like '[email protected]'.
We did some test but trying to logon we recive always the message:
"500 SAP Internal Server Error
ERROR: System logon form fields have invalid values (termination: ERROR_MESSAGE_STATE)"
On the network I'm able to find only post related to this issue using a J2EE portal, but nothing using an ABAP system as Portal.
Any idea ?

Hello Arul,
welcome to the SDN CRM Development forum.
1. I think you should clear the data with duplicate E-Mail adresses in the external tool.
2. Unsubscription could be done by a Marketing Attribute which could be set by using a Target Group which is created by Campaign Automation. Have a look at this Toppic. There is also a Best Practice avaliable at http://help.sap.com/bp_crmv340/CRM_DE/index.htm.
3. Also HTML or Simple text can be mained in a Marketing Attribute. You have to use different Mail Forms to which are sent to different Target groups.

User mapping certificate in UME (J2EE) with ABAP system as Backend (SNC)

I hope someone can help me with the user mapping concept (X.509 V3 certificates) for both "worlds" (ABAP and JAVA Stack).
I know how to install and configure certificate based (X.509) login to SAP ABAP and SAP JAVA (J2EE) Stack (--> enable encryption for communication and Single Sign On).
Situation:
We have a ready installed and configured X.509 certificate authentication environment for the ABAP world (between SAP GUI and SAP Server System)
and the user mapping was configured in the ABAP System (SU01). As the users are using certificates, the passwords are deactivated on the ABAP System.
Now if you want to integrate a JAVA (J2EE) Sytem and you want to configure the UME to the ABAP System (as Backend), you have an administrative effort problem with the user mapping (X.509) in the UME configuration.
1.) It is possible to assign manually the user public key to every user --> But to much effort
2.) As the user does not have a password (deactivated in the ABAP system), the way to combine the automatic mapping with a user login does not work.
3.) In the distinguished name of the user certificate there is no information about the SAP username itself
--> you are not able to use any information of the DN to bind a user in the Login Module configuration.
Now my question:
Is it possible to use the sncname information from the ABAP System (still configured and available) for the UME configuration?
As i know, it is possible to write an own Login Module. Does anybody has a customized Login module for this issue?
At the end the best solution would be to enable the same user mapping mechanism on the JAVA world as on the ABAP world. --> Mapping the Distinguished Name to the SAP User

We have developed a login module which is working with Kerberos auth, not x.509 auth, but still solves a very similar problem to the problem you are describing. As you know, when SNC is used to logon to ABAP stack, the SNC name of the user is mapped onto a SAP user via entries in the USRACL table. Our mapping login module takes the authenticated user principal name from the shared state and uses this to lookup the entry in USRACL table on ABAP stack, and from this it will know which SAP user to use, and can update shared state with this info so that CreateTicketLoginModule will created an SSO2 ticekt for the mapped SAP user id.
This means that mapping of users externally authetnicated identity onto SAP user/client can be managed in one place, e.g in ABAP stack using USRACL table entires and su01 t-code etc.
I know it is not exactly what you wanted, since you are looking to use x.509 certifiates instead of Kerberos authentication, but I thought it was worth sharing so that you know the concept has already been implemeneted many times. Many of our customers use this login module when they have our product, for the same reasons that you have stated.
Thanks,
Tim

Loading non-standard Hierarchies from an external Sap System

Hi experts,
We are trying to load a hierarchy of a non-standard characteristic from an external Sap System. From what we know till now, we can't create a Generic Datasource to load hierarchies, so the only way is to use a File Datasource (csv file, for example) to load it.
Is that true ? Is there any way to load a non-standard hierarchy from a Generic Datasource ?
Thanks In Advance.

It's a customized hierarchy with Z tables.
No way, other than flat file. Maybe I can use an ABAP report to create a flat file with the hierarchy, reading the data of the R/3 system with native-sql, and then, launch the load with this file stored in the BI SAP.
I mean:
_________________________________________________Native SQL
flat file (csv) (BI SAP) <-- ABAP Report (BI SAP) <--
hierarchy tables (R/3 SAP)
We want an automatic way to load the hierarchy. Is it a good idea ?

HOW TO DEBUG EXTERNAL ABAP PROGRAM

HI ALL ,
I am new to Webdynpro Java. I am unabe to debug the ABAP program through web dynpro java application .
I want to debug the external abap program through web dynpro java application.
If it possible please let me know the required procedure for debugging.
Thanks in advance...!

Hi,
I donu2019t have any documents for that. But I vl give some points plz go through that.
1. Login into the ECC System with respective of User name and Password.
2. Enter T -Code (SE 37). Here Pass to the you are Functional Module Name (BAPI/RFC).
(By using that same BAPI/RFC u have to develop the that WDJAVA Application)
3. Pass the RFC and Click on Display Button. That RFC will be open.
4. Here u have find it Red Icons available (External/Internal Debug) Click on that External Debug.
5. Finally deploy your WDJAVA Application that time automatically youu2019re ECC System Opened.
Please check it these
F5 - Step by Step debugging
F6 - Skips loops and Subroutines
F7 - Skips the loop or subroutine and returns to the last cursor point.
F8 - Execute and come out of debugging
Hope this helps!!

SAP Abap system as LDAP source/server?

Hello,
is it possible to configure a SAP Abap system as LDAP server so that I can read out the user information via LDAP?
We have a SSL-Gateway that needs to preauthenticate external users and we don't want to manage those users in two different systems.

Marc,
Are you thinking about Central User Administration (CUA). Then it is possible by LDAP.
Hope this helps.

you saved my day! I've been banging my head against the wall with this same problem during a J2EE add-in installation for SRM 4.0 on Windows, in preparation of an LAC 2.0 installation. I had tried deleting the schema first, but that didn't work. After I removed the sys\global\security folder as well, it worked perfectly.

SSO between 2 ABAP systems

Hello All,
There are 2 ABAP systems into consideration here.
A custom application is running on R/3 4.7 system.
This application also accesses data from another system - ECC 6.0
Issue:
Users get a login prompt to access ECC..which is to be removed...
Question:
How can I set a SSO connection between these two ABAP systems?
Awaiting Reply.
Thanks and Warm Regards,
Ritu

Hi Ritu,
First you need to ensure that your systems support SSL.
Use the procedure given here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/65/6a563cef658a06e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
Once SSL works, you can then setup SSO as per the link given in the previous post.

Itunes won't play anymore through external sound system

My mac functions as a Protools recording studio. The hardware (a Digi002 system) attaches to my G5 by firewire. Until recently, itunes worked just fine playing through this external system. I'd simply go to system preferences, change the sound inputs and outputs to Digi002.
These days I can still get all of my pro music software to play through this external Digi002 system. But something has gone amiss with itunes. It doesn't matter if itunes is already open, or not yet open. If I go to sound preferences and switch it to DIGI002, itunes ONLY plays through my internal compouter speaker. And if i go back to the sound preferences, i find that the external audio choice had been unchecked, as if by some function within itunes itself.
i have asked this same question on the Protools forum. Respondees give mixed answers, but basically say, yes it used to work, and no, it no longer works. Some say it WILL work, but you have to fire up your sound system BEFORE you turn on your computer. That is a totally disfunctional "solution" for my situation. Who wants to keep a sound system on all day long, when I may not use it for several hours at a time?
So what's going on here? And what did I install that made itunes suddenly not function with my external system? I strongly suspect it may be some newer version of itunes itself. If so, is there some workaround utility that will let me re-connect itunes to the Digi system? any help is appreciated.

Hate to do this, but we've gotta start with the simple **** first, and work our way up. The volume control in iTunes isn't turned down, is it?
Aside from that, you should launch Quicktime Player, go to File - Open, and open one of your iTunes songs in that, and see if you can hear sound there.

How to merge key field from external source system with SAP R/3 master

Hi,
In SAP BW 7.0 system, our scenario is Master Data for 0GL_ACCOUNT is coming from SAP R/3 alongwith the Transactional data records for standard FI cubes. Then, one more set of transaction data is coming from external source system, a flat file, into another custom DSO(ZDSO_FI), which also has this GL Account field.
This flat file's GL account, GL_file, has to be basically mapped/merged with the standard 0GL_ACCOUNT field so that at the time of loading the transactional data for custom DSO, ZDSO_FI (with transformation mapping GL_file > 0GL_ACCOUNT), system automatically refers to the 0GL_ACCOUNT master data to load these incoming transactional values, from the external flat file system. How can this be done?
To illustrate the scenario, say I have 5 records in 0GL_ACCOUNT, loaded from SAP R/3 into SAP BW-
0GL_ACCOUNT      Short Description     Source System
100                                   D1                          R/3
200                                   D2                          R/3
300                                   D3                          R/3
400                                   D4                          R/3
500                                   D5                          R/3
Now suppose if my flat file has following sample transactional data, to be uploaded in SAP BW ZDSO_FI-
GL_file      Key Figure1
400          789
200          567
Then after uploading this transactional data in ZDSO_FI (with transformation mapping GL_file > 0GL_ACCOUNT), the 0GL_ACCOUNT data becomes as below-
0GL_ACCOUNT      Short Description     Source System
400
200
100                                   D1                          R/3
200                                   D2                          R/3
300                                   D3                          R/3
400                                   D4                          R/3
500                                   D5                          R/3
So note that the system did not refer the incoming GL's from flat file, although the field is mapped to 0GL_ACCOUNT in transformation, to the already available master data. Rather created 2 new data rows for the GL accounts coming from external system. Because of this I am not able to perform the calculations common from standard FI cube and ZDSO_FI, with GL account as key field. I need to synchronise these data values based on GL Account to proceed with further calculation and am badly stuck.
Request if anyone can please throw some light on how to achieve this seemingly simple requirement?
Thanks in advance.

RFC destination Java = ABAP system to wrong system

Hello everyone,
I have a NW04 Java system (WebAs 640, SP19), which has an RFC destination to an ABAP system.
The strange this is this: we changed the target system of the RFC connection to a different one (let's say from SID1 to SID2), they have different system numbers, different host names and different gateways. Only user and password we kept the same, as that's easier to maintain.
We have a self developed java application which uses this RFC connection.
When we call the application using only the <b>not</b>-fully-qualified hostname the RFC connection to the old (SID1) is used, but the destination is defined with SID2.
However, when we use the fully qualified hostname in the URL, it works with SID2 (which is correct).
Does anyone have an idea why that happens and what we can do to prevent that?
Regards,
Cornelia

Hi Mantosh,
it's an RFC connection entered in Visual Administrator of the Java System (service Destinations), so there's no possibility to set an RFC type like in SM59.
Of course you're right concerning the hostnames, but I was wondering how that could happen. Normally, it should read the data which I configured in the RFC connetion and use that.
We deleted temporary files and cookies and all from the workstation were we started the browser, even rebooted the workstation, but no effect.
Do you know any cache were the java system could have the old data left?
Regards,
Cornelia
