External Portal user and subscription mail

Hi,
Here is my problem:
I need to have possibility to subscribe people who don't have access to the Portal server.
This means that this kind of people are can not log on the portal.
I can subscribe them using subscription (and not subscribe myself) by entering several mails.
But the file in the mail notification is a link forward the portal file ...
And the problem is that this kind of user can not see it.
Is there solution to solve this problem ?
Example: attached document, other URL link ...
Thanks a lot for any help,
Fabien

Hi,
   A simple idea is:
   When you upload a new file, assign anonymous user.
For this user, you assign email account (but this account is a distribution list, created in you mail system).
   You suscribe anonymous user to this document.
   Each time that sombody change this document a mail will be sent to this distribution list.
   You have to enable anonymous access.
Patricio.

How to create portal user and integrate with external appl login

How to create portal user and integrate the user with external application for single sign-on ?
I want to access my external application thru portal user ..?
Shyam

Hi Jithin,
The link that you've shared talks about a different scenario.
In my case, I want to pass the portal user id when the user clicks on the Help Link present in the header area.
I am trying to pass it along with the Help Link Url property of a masthead iview but it is not getting passed to the target Url.
I would like to know if it is possible to pass the Portal User Id in this way or not.
Though if we create a appintegrator iview and pass the user id <User.UserID> along with the target Url, it reaches there.
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag

Where can i find BP "Portal User" and "Communication"??

Hello,
I have imported Business Package for mySAP CRM 4.0 (60.2) on EP 6.0 according to the installation guide and now i have started with the "Administration of the Business Package for SAP CRM 4.0 60.2" and in there it says that as a pre-requisite i must have imported "Portal User" and "Communication" business packages. I tried to search for these in SDN but no luck. Where else can i find these business packages? Thanks.
Regards,

Hi,
as far as I know both BPs have been discontinued.
The pure CRM 4.0 functionality is not comprised by the missing packages.
Some features of the "Home" tab may not work properly...

Mapping between portal user and business partner

Hello all,
I would like to store data of portal users using a business partner in an ERP system. How to map a portal user to a business partner? My idea was to store the business partner ID in a field of the portal user. But there is no such field.
Thanks for your help!
Felix

Hi Felix,
user mapping involves creation of a system object and the corresponding system alias, and then assigning this system alias to the user( this is what is called user mapping in this context). and then you create a corresponding iView for the same and assign this iView to a role where the user is already having this role.
This is the common steps for user mapping when connecting with external landscapes. I hope the partner mentioned is a specific type
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4361">Try this link</a>
under this concentrate on the system object creation area.
and I hope you have a particular role already assigned to your role.
Cheers

Portal user and role creation

How do we add (bulk add) users and roles to Portal 6.0 without the management console ?
Thanks ,
Ravi

Did anyone have an answer to this? I've used tools with other directories that permitted a bulk add or a flat file dirsync that allowed a CSV file to add accounts. I would be interested if someone has done this for portal 6.2 or 6.X.
Thanks in advance,

Relation between Portal User and ABAP user

Hi All,
I have installed the SAP Netweaver 2004s with ABAP and JAVA environment.
I have the portal up and running on.
Now when i see the users form portal i can see both the UME and ABAP users.
My questions are as follows:
a)Are this ABAP users shown in portal same as SAP R/3 user.
b)Which property of the ABAP users shown in portal mapped to R/3 user.
c)What is the query to see all the users in the Portal database for ABAP + JAVA system
Best Regards
Manoj

Hi Roy,
As you said that
"All the properties you see in the portal are mapped to the ABAP side".
My observation was as follows:
A)
I created the Portal User(ABAP + JAVA) using the UME API's.
I set the setTilte("Mr") and setSalutation("Dr.) property.
The user got created .Innthe Portal we cannot notice the setTilte and setSalutation property so i used the SAP GUI to check it.
In the SAP GUI i could see the changes are reflected for Tilte and Academic Titlt.
B)
Now i changed the property setSalutation to "MBA" and saved the user using the ABAP GUI.
Now i used the UME API to query the getTilte() and getSAlutaion()
But unfortunately this changes were not shown .
Now i bit confused.
Whether this both(portal ABAP) and R/3 are stored in differnet database.
or it is that i have to restart the server to bring it in sync
Best Regards
Manoj

Creation of Portal users and group assignments

Hi, everyone. My company just completed a load of some 2000 E-Business suite users into our new portal and have given them group assignments according to payroll. I had gathered a number of routines into a PL/SQL package in order to do this. These came from several sources in these forums, on Metalink, and other places on the internet. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in having it. A lot of it was rewritten on the fly, and I should probably clean it up a bit, but it would have saved me some time if someone had offered it to me. Is there a good place to post things like this? I'm sure that better ways exist to do some of these things than what I used, and I would be interested in some of the experts' comments.
Anyway, let me know if you are interested.
--Dave

hi Dave,
i am trying to study a problem with group assignments in a proper branch in OID. it would probably be helpful to clear some pieces in this problem from your notes.
would you be kind to send a copy to [email protected]

Administration Portal user and group managent performace issue

Hi
I have implemented a custom IPlanet LDAP authentication provider which provides
a realization for the needed authentication, group and user management interfaces
(UserReader, UserEditor, GroupReader, GroupEditor).
The authentication provider itself seems to work fine, but I think I found a possible
performance problem in the WebLogic Administration Portal, when I studied the
authentication framework by remote debugging. Response times (with just one simultaneous
user) are quite long (over 8 seconds) with 40 groups on the same hierarchy level
on the Users, Groups and Roles tree. I'm developing with P4 processor and 1 Gb
ram (512 Mb allocated for WLS)
After little debugging I found out that every time a node in the group tree is
dlicked isMember() method of the authentication provider gets called n * (n -1)
times, where n is the number of visible groups in the hierachy tree. '
What happens is that for each group, the membership of all the other visible groups
is checked by the isMember(group, member, recursive), method call. Even the usage
of a membership cache in this point didn't speed up the rendering noticeably.
By placing a break point in the isMember() method and studying the call stack,
one can see that all the isMember() calls are made during the rendering performed
by the ControlTreeWalker. For example if there is 40 groups visible in the tree,
the isMember() method gets called 1600 times. This seems quite heavy. With a
small number of groups per hierarchy level this problem might not be serious,
but in case where there would be over 30 000 customer companies using the portal
and each having their own user groups, it could be an issue.
The problem does not occur with WebLogic console and browsing of groups and users
(using the same authentication provider) is fast with it. When a user is selected
from the user list and the Groups tab is checked, the Possible Groups and Current
Groups list boxes will get populated. When debugging this sequence, one can see
that only the listGroups() method of the authentication provider is called once
per list box and the order of method calls is of order n (rather than n^2 which
is the case with the Administrator Portal).
Has anyone had similar problems with Administrator Portal's performance?
Ville

Ville,
You're correct about the performance degradation issue. This is being
addressed in SP2.
Thanks,

G5 dual/1.8GHZ slow when switching users and starting mail, opening files

I have 20' imac dual cpu G5/1.8ghz/1gig/250gig drive with 10.4.11.
It is much slower than the G5 it replaced. Symptoms include: very slow when switching to another user desk tops, opening up the hard drive for the first time once you get there, opening entourage or mail for the first time; lots of beach balls.
The drive has more than half the space left, we don't have many applications running, our iphoto and itunes libraries are under 20 gig combined. I ran the disk utility and cleaned up permissions. We typically leave the mac on all the time but restart occasionally.
Any ideas?

We'll let you in because you used to have a G5 iMac , but you really should post on the dual page. Anyway, have you cleaned your caches in the browser you use? You can use OnyX to clean all the caches. Make sure you empty the trash in all your user accounts as well. Try resetting the PRAM too.
Hope some of this helps,

IBots - Delivers: Selected Users and E-Mails based on SA_SYSTEM table

Hi
I have the following request and I am having issues with the setup.
1) A report request that has a columned named Assigned to:
2) Setup Scheduler
3) Need to create an ibot to generate the report from step 1 and email it to selected people
4) Setup SA_SYSTEM table with user information.
a) This does work with reference to updating delivers information when I look at My Account
5) Now I am attempt to do the following:
1) The report listed above will generate a report that has many records that belong to different Assigned To people
2) I would like to have the iBot generate the report(s) based on the Assigned To and that report only have that persons records in that specific report
3) The iBot would have to generate several reports based on the Assigned to
4) Automatically email the report to the correct person based on the email address setup in the SA_SYSTEM table that I created
--- This system table is also been added to the Presentation Layer of the RPD file
5) The users WILL not be subscribing to the ibot
6) The user may never log into OBIEE ... Just receive reports from the iBot
Questions:
1) Has anyone ever done this?
2) Can I do this
3) Can someone help me out
Other things I have done.
1) I have created a simple iBot to create the report... But is has all records
2) I can email the report to "Me"
3) I does run on a regular scheduled basis
Thank for any help
Steve

Rudimentary automated PDF generation using Delivers Hi Steve,
When the iBot runs in personalisation mode it is in essence logging each user into the system. The user that runs the report e.g. Administrator will impersonate the users one by one and run the queries per user. If you are not able to populate the Authentication block you will need to do something a little more "out there" to achieve your goals.
I have submitted a post a couple of days ago explaining a rudimentary method to generate customised pdf's based on session variables when running as a single user. You could modify this approach to achieve your desired result.

Internal and External Portals be hosted & Configured on Same Portal server?

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to host and configure the Internal portal and External Portal on the same portal server?
If yes, kindly provide the inputs.
We have a scenario wherein we have to use the same portal server for both kinds of users (Internal as well as External).
We want to provide separate URLs for both the portals and the datasource for the users management would be different for both the scenarios.
The user managemnet in case of Internal Portal has to be authenticated to an AD server whereas in case of External Portal the user management would be taken care by UME.
Please suggest and share some docs if possible.
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag

Hi,
Can we customise the Portal logon page for both the portals differently?
I've already customised the portal logon page by modifying the UME properties in the Config Tool but that was done keeping in mind the External Portal users. Now, we want to customise the page for Intranet users but with different options at the logon page.
How can we achieve this functionality as any property that we modify in either VA or Config Tool will affect both types of portal pages.
For an eg. we have a Self Registration link for the external users which we do not want for the Intranet users. How is this possible?
If we design a webdynpro java application for the logon page and for authentication purpose, can we call a home page iview on successful authentication?
And with this customised webdynpro java application, can we connect to the AD server for the user authentication?
Best Regards,
Anurag

Report on portal User ID and Assign Roles for all portal users

Hi!
I would like to know , is there way that we can get a report which shows all the portal user ids with there assign portal roles. If we can't get this from portal. Can we get it from Oracle database ?
What are the oracle tables and fields which store this information?
If nay one have a custom develop iview for this please let me know
Thanks
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
as Pascal stated (and as I did above), if developing within the portal is not really new for you, playing around with the UME API is really more or less trivial.
Check Portal User and Role info as well as User to Role listing for similar requests and code hints / further links.
Hope it helps

Example of creating a valid LDAP user and group in the Portal tree

I need to create (via bulk LDIP or API) fresh users AND groups into OID that can be used by Portal. In theory it sounds easy - just create an appropriate LDIF file.
What is the best way to achieve this?
I don't the know the structure that should be used in the LDIF file that would create the correct structure held for all the Portal users and groups in OID.
I've looked through the OID admin and dev guides but am still confused as to what exactly I have to do. It seems that Portal accounts are synchronised by a method called Provisioning.
All I want to do is bulk upload Portal compatible users into the repository.
Can somebody please assist.
Cheers,
John

I have below changes in files
1] In jps-config.xml
-- Added identity store and selected it from drop down in Security Context tab.
2] In weblogic-application.xml
In Security tab --> Role assignment mapped valid-users to principle name.
<security>
<realm-name>myrealm</realm-name>
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>valid-users</role-name>
<principal-name>DERDev</principal-name>
</security-role-assignment>
</security>
3] Same thing done in weblogic.xml . I do not know the difference between weblogic-application.xml and weblogic.xml configuartion and which will work.
4] Added security role "DERDev" along with the default/automatically added role "valid users"
<security-role>
<role-name>DERDev</role-name>
</security-role>
Still no luck ...... i am missing again ? I referred many links but found not a single document mentioning all steps

Can I use SAP HR to drive ESS Portal user creation?

Hello
We are implementing a new instance of SAP HR and Portal for ESS and MSS and I am not sure of all the steps that need to be completed so any guidance / tips would be greatly appreciated.
Company currently has an LDAP - but not used extensively. Not all employees currently in LDAP as not all have network ids. All employees will have a SAP account to enable ESS (via Kiosks etc). ESS iViews in Portal will call SAP HR and possibly SAP BW. We have an instance of SAP already and user admin maintained via CUA - this will continue.
Scenario:
My initial thoughts are that we try to use SAP HR as the leading system to drive the ESS Portal users and access. Basically I want to create the user in SAP and assign them an ESS SAP role... then through syncronization have the user created in the Portal and have the correct ESS Portal assigned (in the Portal)
My thinking so far is to go the following way;
1) Create User Master Record in SAP (SU01)
2) Hire employee into the org structure (via HR processes)
3) Populate Infotype 0105 with SAP username
4) Populate Infortype 1016 - with SAP role to be assigned to allow ESS access (not sure about this aspect) or role could be assigned in 1) above
I am not sure of the next steps - I think there must be a way in an SAP table to map the ESS SAP role to the ESS Portal Role (is this via WP3R?)
then I am hoping that a standard job can be run (is this RSLDAPSYNC_USER) that will create the user in the Portal (UME?) and assign the correct Portal role ?
(obviously configuration needed)
For MSS and HR Power users - we would continue to assign SAP roles via SU01.
Can anyone assist with;
- Is my thinking correct in terms of how this should / could work?
- in SAP how can I map SAP Roles to Portal Roles ?
- will syncronization in SAP create the user in Portal and assign the role ? what do I need to configure?
Thanks in advance

Dear Michale,
I just dont know if this can throw some light on your prob.'
In our Orgn we had around 250 ess users and 200 sapr/3 users. Some of the r/3 users also logon to ess via their r/3 uname and password.
What we have done is like follows:
1. Created a role for only the ess users ZHRESS. For this i asked the HR functional people with sap_all profile to do all the job which the ESS users are supposed to do and tracer the authorization via tcode st01. We created the role on the basis of this trace report.
2. For the purely ESS users we created the users via tcode HRUSER and assigned then with the above role.
3. For the R/3 users who are supposed to avail the ess facility we assigned them with the role ZHRESS role in addition to the other roles assigned to them to carry out their normal R/3 transactions. Then we mapped their R/3 uname to their employee no via PA30 infotype 105.
4. Tcode HRUSER saved time which would have consumed had we done it via su01 and moreover it picked Name etc data from the HR master table. In HRUSER tcode , setting the user attributes helps to define what roles the users are to be assigned, what should be their initial password etc.
Pl let me know if it satisfies you querry.

Details regarding Portal users vs 8i DB users

Is there a good DBA level explanation of the differences between a PORTAL/SSO user and a normal database user?
It appears we have to set up new users in Portal for all of our existing users in the database (painful). This was not required in Webdb. Is there a way to import existing database users and link them to their existing schemas painlessly?
The bits and pieces I can find indicate that if you do go ahead and set up a new Portal user manually and link them to their own existing database user schema then the normal database objects roles and rights should appear. This does not seem to be true in 3.0.8 Portal. I created a portal user, assigned them to their existing 8.1.7 schema and:
1) the normal database objects they have rights to do NOT show up in the browse database objects. In Webdb 2.2. all of these objects show up fine. The ability to browse database objects was one of the good things about Webdb that we need to preserve.
2) try to create a portal component, a form, based on a table/view. Unlike #1 above I can in fact create the form on an existing table even though it does not show up in the browse above. The user has update rights to this table, but the form will NOT compile if I leave in the UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT buttons. What is going on?
Is there a technical paper that discusses exactly how to map db users to portal users and how to transfer rights, privileges etc. so we can make portal 3.0 as functional as webdb 2.2 was?

Quinn,
Here are my answers:
1) the normal database objects they have rights to do NOT show up in the browse database objects. In Webdb 2.2. all of these objects show up fine. The ability to browse database objects was one of the good things about Webdb that we need to preserve.
Ans))
You have better control on this ability now.
2) try to create a portal component, a form, based on a table/view. Unlike #1 above I can in fact create the form on an existing table even though it does not show up in the browse above. The user has update rights to this table, but the form will NOT compile if I leave in the UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT buttons. What is going on?
Ans))
The ability to create a component in Oracle Portal 3.0 no longer depends on whether the developer has privileges to build components in a schema, but instead on whether the developer has privileges to build a component in an application.
=====
Is there a technical paper that discusses exactly how to map db users to portal users and how to transfer rights, privileges etc. so we can make portal 3.0 as functional as webdb 2.2 was?
Ans))
Read the following help:
a) Migrating WebDb users to Oracle Portal.
b) What are schema and object privileges?
c) What are global privileges?
d) What's the difference between an Oracle Portal User & an Oracle Database User?
====================
Now the next question is..Where to find them?
Here are the location:
login > Navigator > Database Objects tab>
Click on "Grant Access" > Click on the context help.
Here under the related topics you will find:
(b). Click on it:
Again under the related topics you will find:
(a) & (d) (Both are same).
For (c):
login > Create a user > edit that user > click on "Privileges" tab > context help.
Hope this will clear your doubts...
Thanx,
Chetan.
