Federated Portal - ESS/MSS remote content copy / remote delta link mode

Hello,
We have established an Federated Portal Network between two Enterprise Portal systems.
The Consumer System is an Netweaver Enterprise Portal, the Producer also an Enterprise Portal installation + XSS.
We use remote role assignment and remote delta link functionality between this two systems.
We have an request to enable BI JAVA Iviews on the consumer and as transitive content sharing is not provided, we would like to copy the ESS/MSS roles as remote content copy/remote delta links from the producer XSS system to the consumer system.
When we try to copy the ESS or MSS roles the copy process end with the following error message :
"Due to an unexpected error the action will be canceled"
The remote content copy/remote delta link usage mode is working correct on other roles
Is this a restiction that ESS/MSS roles can not be used in remote delta link mode ?
Is there an workaround for such usage type ?
Thank you
Best Regards

Relationship between Portal and back-end roles in business package

Hi all,
I wonder how technically works on the backend system when I install a BP for SAP EP. Let's say for example that I installed on the portal the business package for SRM. I will have on the Portal some roles configured (buyer, supplier, invoice manager, etc), and some iviews in them organized by pages and workest.
How can I see the relations with those roles and the roles on the SRM backend system? And then: if I modify a standard role on the Portal, adding new functionalites (iviews), I do update the backend role? We are going to implement SSO, and users will be the same on Portal and backend system. But that also means I need to assign users to backend roles on the backend system, isn't it?
I would be glad to you if someone can provide me also a link to a document explaining the relationshipe between backend roles management and portal roles management.
Thanks a lot,
Valentina

To add.. no, you will not update a backend SRM role if you update an iView on the Portal. The Backend roles will always be assigned to the user via PFCG and do not change automatically with the Portal roles.
This help document might help you understand the concept better (Look at the Permissions vs Authorisations section):
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c605c690-0201-0010-e8b5-94677245a46b
Hope this helps. I am sure SAP/SDN library has many such documents that you can read through.

Federated Portals and BI content creation

We are going to have our first opportunity to possibly federate portals. We have had a 7.0 Enterprise Portal for a while now and we are planning to upgrade one of our BW instances to 7.x. We are probably going to set up this BI instance so that it has its own dedicated Java engine rather than utilizing the Java engine in the Enterprise Portal. I understand that the BI Java stack is used for multiple purposes including the display of BI query results and the producing of portal content to be consumed by a consumer portal. My question is this: Can we create iViews on our Enterprise Portal to display the query results from the BI Java stack and not create any portal content on the BI Java stack? This would be similar to how we do it today with our 3.5 BI. The BW iViews are created on our Enterprise Portal but they display the query results from the BW Abap stack.

Tim,
Yes you can and that's how I typically address centralized management for ECC, BI, Bobj, u2026, CRM, and MDM pcd objects. Your approach should be RAI (Remote Application Integration) vs. RDL (Remote Delta Links). You'll Federate the Consumer (EP) with the Producer (BW Java stack). Setup SSO between these two systems and create a content producer. The iViews will be created in the consumer portal with the Federated alias you assigned when creating the content producer.

FPN (Federated Portal) and WPC (Web Page Composer)

Hi all,
We implemented various web sites based on WPC (Web Page Composer) and now we need to federate this instance with other consumer nodes.
I read on SAP 880842 note that it's not possible to federate WPC.
Is there any options to federate sites developed in WPC?
What can I do in this scenario?
Thanks!

Thanks again Marcus.
But we can't use this option because we'll loose the WPC structure... It will need to be rebuild all site navigations...
We are working now with WPC content mirror (copying content from one server to another).
But we still need some help. We need to automatic copy KM content. Can you help us in this case too?

Test IVIEWS in Consumers for Federal Portal.

Hi All,
This is the first time iam establishing Federal Portal and i have done with all the configuration steps ie
Setting Truct , SSO , creating and registering of Consumers and Producers etc.
Now i want to check it by creating some iviews etc.. But i dont know and not getting how to create it and test.
Could any body telthe steps to create I views in Consumers and how to test SSO and how to use COnsumers.
Points wil be assigned.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Akash..

Hi Akash,
Steps you need to take:
- Setup trust between consumer and producer portal by exchanging certificates and making Visual Administrator entries in the Security Provider Service.
- Create producer.
- Register producer.
See this document for good descriptions of steps to take:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70191d1e-2bd1-2a10-d9b7-ba19500da527
Also for remote role assignment in NW 7.0 SP15 you need to add some UME Actions to a role that is aasigned to pcd_service user. See following link for the material:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/2236fc0b413fe1e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
Please have a look and reward points if helpfull. Good luck!

Federated Portal solution with 2004sBI.

Hi,
I would like to know the limitation when using fedelated portal solution with 2004s BI. that means 2004s BI web functionalities are used via Enterprise-wide portal, diferent from portal component for BI.
many customers who decide to implement mySAP ERP2005 solution is likely to implement 2 portal components. One is only for BI, another is for Enterprise wide portal, without considering system configuration deelpy.
About the portal content, the following URL show the solutions.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/92dceb49fd25e5e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
-Integration using a URL iView
-Export/import
-Global portal (federated portal)
I think the global portal is the best.
About the KM contents, I am now think what is the best way.
I think by using fedelated portal solution, KM content iView and KM navigation iView can be used on the corporate wide portal.
But I am not KM expert and now am considering how to use KM contents which is on BI's EP(KM) as same as those on Enterprise wide portal. is it possible if setting webdav on repository manager on enterprise wide portal?
Kind reagards,
Masaaki

There are a lot of things to consider with KM, one repository or 2? The federated Portal will work with assigning a KM navigation iView to a Role and using remote role assignment. This would put KM on the producer portal. The other option is to setup a Remote KM Repository on the Consumer Portal that points to the producer. This way you can broadcast to the producer KM repository and see this in the Consumer Portal.
With Collaboration Rooms, there are some limitations, such as the Room Directory doesn't work with remote URL iViews or Remote Role Assignments as it launches the URL on the consumer instead of the producer. Currently, Collaboration Rooms should be centralized on your single consumer. If you need to broadcast to it in the producer, you would have to setup a link to a remote repository...
Therefore, if you're working with KM specifically, it all works within the framework, but you need to decide how centralized or decentralized you want your document storage, so there are a lot of project considerations on this one....
Also, webdav works to access the KM repository both on the consumer and producer...

UWL in federated portal

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to configure the UWL on a federated portal? We want a central UWL (uwl of federated portal and the uwl's of the producers). How can this be achieved?
I already tried the following link : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwesrce/helpdata/en/45/8084e2e8c9487fe10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm
Thx!
Regards,
Jonas

Hi,
I don't have any real experience on configuring UWL into the federated portal, but just by knowing the basics and checking the document that you linked, I am pretty sure how it works.
1) Basically you need to go into the consumer portals and download the relevant XML configuration files (in System Admin -> System Config -> UWL). This should be clear if you are familiar with non-federated portal UWL configuration.
2) Then basically you must check what all tasks and workflows there are actually in use in your backend/portal system, and find the corresponding XML configuration for them. Basically you should find that which application is launched when you click a task in your UWL. If they are iViews, write them down, since you will need the info in the following steps.
3) Configure the backend system objects (=similar what you have already in the producers) into the consumer portal. Configure the system objects to be used with UWL (in System Admin -> System Config -> UWL) and register the systems.
4) Now, if you found out that there are some iViews (step 2) that are used in the XML configuration, you should copy them as remote delta links to the consumer from the producer portal. (Copy the pages/roles also if needed - depending on how everything has been setup).
5) Now you are ready to try to import the XML configuration files that you found in the producer portals, into the consumer portal. (in System Admin -> System Config -> UWL)
If all the system objects are found and registered properly in the consumer portal, and all the iViews that are used in the XML configuration files, can be found as remote delta links in the consumer, you should be able to import the XML files and the UWL should be up and running and getting the items from the all producers.
Sounds easy, but maybe isn't.

Karri

How to make Federated Portal Network Content available in a Consumer Portal

Hello Experts,
we have the following situation:
We have two NW 7.0 Portals: 1 Main Portal on and 1 BI-Portal
We would like to do a remote role assignment via the Federated Portal option in the Portal, so that we can make the BEX-Explorer role from the BI Portal available in our main Portal.
I've already created a connection to the BI-Portal (Producer-Portal) in "Federated Portal" and have already registered the main portal as the Consumer in the BI Portal. I used SAP Help for that:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/67/7e70424edcc553e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Now I have the problem, that I can not find the remote role from the BI Portal in the Identity Management of our main Portal? Does anybody has a idea (or maybe a solution ) how to fix this problem? The SAP Help is not very helpful, it always deals with the same notes...
Regards
Andreas
PS: Of course u can earn points!!!!

Hi
first of all i would check that the SSO is working between the two portals..
Log into one of the portal.. Change the URL to the other portal. If you have to log in, then there is a problem with your SSO. Remember to have enough permission on both the portal.
If that works, then log into the consumer portal and check what you find in the portal content of the producer portal.
Let me know the result, and I will help you further..

Landscape Issue AccAD 2.2 (Federated Portals)

Hello,
I have a performance issue, I have CE 7.2 and EP 7.0. Both are integrated as a Federated Portal. The CE 7.2 is the producer and EP 7.0 is the consumer or front end to our employees.
We have remote locations with low bandwiths so we implemented AccAD 2.2 with the EP and the performance impoved a lot, ...the EP, but all the cache management is done to the EP objects, all the CE objects (javascripts, themes) are making the portal performance very low. The start page could take more than 240 seconds to display (because is showing some federated web dynpros iviews).
After analizing, I see that one of the files that takes long is the sapurmapi_ie6.js that is loaded from the CE.
How can I make the AccAD platform to work with the CE? What's your recommendation? How can I solve this issue?
I think that if I make an upgrade to NW 7.3 I could avoid the federated portal and work with only one server (CE and EP are together), however right now is not my reality? Please can you give me an advice?
Best Regards

Hi Zeev,
I tried to change again and hit "Apply". it finally went back.
I did it last weekend, since it is production.
Thank you very much.
There are a few things I consider as problem.
1. Secondary SFE: They still do not communicate each other
2. Database error: on Repository, Audit and Traffic history tabs show "Could not connect to the database"
--->by the way, my test systems have no problems.
3. On my SAP system, AL08, connections from CFEs displayed with the CFEs virtual IPs instead of SFEs.
---> as I experienced from 2.1, this is not right. they have to be appeared with the SFEs virtual IP.
version 2.1: Enduser -> CFE -> SFE -> SAP
version 2.2: Enduser -> CFE -
> SAP ???
And, there are a lot of these messages in /var/log/messages

Error while accessing a BI iView from the federated portal to the BI portal

Hi,
We got an issue when we execute BI report from our federated SAP Portal.
The user can navigate into the portal, but when he executes an BI iView, sometime he gets the following error message:
"500 Internal Server Error
blabla...
Root Cause
The initial exception that caused the request to fail was:
BEx Web application "xxxxx" does not exist. The application was either ended by a timeout or an error occurred, which was entered into the trace log. See SAP Notes 937697 and 948490"
He can then refresh the page and execute the report again, and it will works.
Here is our lanscape :
Federated Portal EP6 SP18
BI Portal SP20
Iview are created on the Federated Portal and consume BI web template.
I don't think about a timeout issue, since sometime we got the selection screen and once we click on a button (after some seconds) we got the error.
Any ideas ?
rgds,
Sebastien

Hello,
Please could you remove the proxy setting and check whether it will give you same error or not.
Even we have faced the similar similar issue and once we have removed the proxy setting and cross checked it , it worked fine and later we came to know that the problem is in network proxy setting application.Check with the net working team for the same.
Thanks

Collaboration Rooms on Federated Portal

Hi:
We have configured collaboration Rooms in our producer portal. We want to show them on consumer portal using a remote role created on producer.
When we assign the remote role on the consumer , the rooms are not shown completely.
Is there a limitation on using remote roles with collaboration rooms?
Thanks,

Hi Luciana.
Collaboration can run only on the central consumer portal (refer to SAP Note 1295708).

Federated Portal Network configuration

Hi,
I just started configuring two test portal systems for federation. When I create a producer object in the consumer portal under system administration-->Federated Portal and then test it gives the following message.
"Producer Connection
Test Details:
Checks if a producer object exists for the producer
Opens a connection to the handshake URL and receives the WSDL file
Parses the WSDL file and extracts the different port URLs
Results
Producer object was found
Could not retrieve the WSDL file; the handshake URL may not exist or may be invalid "
In the "View My Producers" iview under System administration--->Federated Portal I tested the Producer URL and I can see the WSDL file so it seems like the URL is ok.
But I do see warnings regarding SLD connection not working which I find not relevant and the following seems relevant though.
"Cannot get input and output streams from socket. ConnectionsManipulator is not initialized."
Any thoughts?

Assign remote roles with Federated portals

Hello all,
We're trying to implement a federated Portal network using the "Implementing a Federated Portal Network" in Detail document.
The steps that we have follow successfully are:
1. Connect to the user repository (Producer and Consumer).
2. Configure system settings (Producer and Consumer).
3. Define and Configure producers (consumer).
4. Set permisions (producer).
Now we want to assign remote roles to local users in User Administration -> Proxy-to-remote Roles option. But Proxy-to-remote Roles tab doesn't appear in the second level navigation...
We are working with EP7 SP10.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance

Maybe a clue: According to the Remote Role assigment question, We have a similar problem using the Remote content copy option.
In the consumer EP, Content Administration -> Portal Content, the Netweaver Content Producers contains the producer connection icon but it's empty. So, the content share can't be done...
Now... Any idea?
Thanks!
