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...

App page link to "federated portal" menu with webdynpro for JAVA

Hi experts,
we have completed the federated portal configuration from EP to CE7.1
Clients just log in EP, see both EP and CE content.
Now, clients want to make a index page with some link and fashion pictures pointed to exact EP or CE page.
I found a method "WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute" which can do this in EP.
but when i change content path to my CE content, the method failed.
WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(

 WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,
 null,

is there something wrong calling the method? or anything else?

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!

Federated portal with CE and EP7SPS14

hello,
I was told that i can connect CE with the normal SAP portal through federation. but i was also told that CE is 7.1 and portal is 7.0. so how can 7.1 apps run on 7.0 ?
thanks ,
Buzz

Hi Buzz,
Markus is right. That is the point of implementation of the Federated Portal. You can just link up the content of one portal to be available on other portals. This will feel like to the end user that all content is within one portal itself while the respective applications are being executed on the respective servers themselves. This is enabled by the Federated Portal technology.
hope this helps you.
cheers,

BW on HANA with Federated Portal?

Hi Everyone,
We are running BW on HANA 7.3 with an ABAP only installation and we have a separate BW on DB2 instance. The BW on DB2 is linked to our Enterprise Portal and this supports BEx Web Queries and Templates but we would like to now enable Web Reporting (Queries and Templates) from the BW on HANA system.
What options do we have other than installing the JAVA stack on a separate system or upgrading to 7.4?
Can the HANA on BW system be linked to our Enterprise Portal so that it serves as a Federated Portal?
Thank you in advance.
Rushil

Hi Rushil Naik
I remember reading some where that Java single stack and ABAP+JAVA dual stack are not supported by BW7.3 running on HANA.
Also heard about a concept called MCOD(Multiple components in one Data base).
Am not a pure BASIS guy, so cannot give you a concrete answer.
Please see if following note(old) gives you some insights

How to integrate PPM 5 with Federated Portal Network

Hi experts,
If we are using PPM 5 standalone (without portal) and we want to include it into Federated Portal Network, which steps we have to follow to configurate PPM in the Federated Portal. Do we have to install stack java for PPM 5 at portal level or can we have PPM as producer without stack java in the consumer (federated portal).
Thanks a lot,
CAMILO URIBE

Hi Camelo,
For PPM 5.0, you need only abap stack only. For the portal you will need java stack also.
Business packege need to be applied for PPM 5.0 and the necesarry settings need to be done in portal to access PPM through portal.
The federaed or non-fedarated option is for portal only and it will not impact the decison of accessing PPM through portal.

Federated Portal: accessing content, through Consumer, stored on Producer

Hello Guys,
I am working on a project which has a Federated Portal Network scenario. Details of it are as follows:
Details:
SAP EP 7.0 with SP11. Two portal installations: Consumer and Producer. Both Consumer and Producer are used for logging on by users. Consumer does not have any content. Users logging on to Consumer accesses all the content from Producer rendered through Remote Role Assignment which works fine. Through Consumer, I am able to access in Top Level Navigation, the Role and all assigned worksets, of the Producer. For a particular workset I have a page containing an AppIntegrator iView. AppIntegrator iView is being used as we are catering to more than one language on the portals. This AppIntegrator iView is rendering an HTML page which is stored in a KM repository on Producer (as I mentioned all content is on Producer). The path to the HTML page on KM repository is given in the URL Template property of the AppIntegrator iView created on the Producer.The path for example is something like: <System.protocol>://<System.server>:<System.port>/irj/go/km/docs/myrepository/testPage/<Request.Language>/includes/mypage.html
The links on the HTML page are all relative links. For eg, {a href = "/irj/portal/theQuickLink" target="_top"}. The behaviour I want is to navigate to the workset/page once I click the link on the HTML page while staying in the Consumer portal.
Problem/Question:
On the Consumer I see the HTML page and till this point the navigation is in Consumer portal. But when I click on any of the links on this page the navigation takes me to the Producer URL. I am transferred to the Producer portal and am no longer in the Consumer portal.
Thanks in advance.
Kaushik

Vinoth,
I am aware about the solution provided by you. But my problem here is the Server name + port and not the rest of the URL.
For eg. my consumer portal is http://Aserver:50000
and producer portal is http://Bserver:51000.
While I am able to access the HTML page via consumer and till then the URL has the consumer Server + port details (for eg. http://Aserver:50000), once I click any link on it the URL in the address bar of the browser window changes to that of the producer for eg http://Bserver:51000. All subsequent browsing happens in the producer as I am transferred to the Producer.
Let me know if anybody has more suggestions.
Thanks,
Kaushik

ERP2005 MSS reporting in a federated portal network

Hello,
We are implementing ERP2005 MSS on a federated portal network, and were facing a problem with the MSS reporting IView (application mss~rpt).
When we execute this function on the producer portal (the portal connected to the ECC backend, with the BPs and Webdynpros), the IView launches well, a report can be selected and finally in the second step, the button Report Results opens up a new portal window. The URL of this window contains a navigation target which points to an IView of the standard ERP2005 Business Package:
NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/com.sap.pct/line_manager/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.roles/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.manager_self_service/com.sap.pct.mss.hcm.rpt.iac
This IView will then launch a session which starts Internet service HRWPC_FC_EXEC on the integrated ITS. Directly on the producer everything works fine and the report is displayed in an ITS session perfectly. Works as designed so far
However, when we execute this on the consumer portal (with remote role assignment) a popup window opens when clicking the button Report Results, and nothing happens no report.
The cause of this is that the external popup window links to the consumer portal, and NOT the producer portal. Since the business package is not deployed on the consumer portal, the navigation target cannot be found and no content is displayed.
Now, the quick and dirty solution would be to deploy the BP on the consumer portal, but this is of course not in the strategy of federated portal. Displaying the report in the same window should also do the trick, but I didnt find any option to do this.
Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this without having to deploy the BP on the consumer portal?
Best Regards,
Jos

Here are some tips.
Firstly, make sure you use NWA to read the exact error in Default Trace. If you are experiencing the 'User Authentification' error or needing to add the Super Admin role to J2EE_GUEST, then it is highly likely that you have an SSO problem between your consumer and producer. Try a simple test...Log on to the consumer and then type or copy in the url of your producer. Are you getting the logon page? If so then SSO is definately not working. You can try vice versa as well but for simple fed scenarios, producer to consumer is not required.
You should not have to modify settings in Visual Admin. You can do it directly in NWA Trusted Systems. Client is referring to the client number of your JAVA engine...Don't worry about any BASIS administrators who insist JAVA has no clients! The default client is 000 but this may have ben changed - its a ConfigTool setting in UME. You can see it in NWA Trusted Systems. It tells you the client number of the portal you are logged into. You must ensure that when you load up this portal's certificate, the client field must be as it is set here.

what are the requirements in terms of software/hardware etc...
if there is any detailed document, please help me on that.
I have already gathered few docs from help.sdn and snd forums. but setup, configuration, maintain, requirements .. still on mess in my mind.
I want to have any doc with is precise and clear to understand.

Federated Portal Network - probelm

hi all,
I'm working on Federated Portal Network. I've this problem. I tried to assign remote role to portal user (consumer). But i'm not able to see any roles in the Remote producer.
Also, there is no workset called "Proxy-to-remote-roles" in User Administration Role. I'm running Sneak Preview SP09 version of NW04s Portal Server.
Kindly help.
Regards
Ak.

hi,
I've understood the presentation and the concept behind the FPN process... But my problem is A WORKSET IS MISSING. If you look at the first video file you gave, the author goes to this workset called "Proxy-to-remote-roles" in the Role USER ADMINISTRATION. This workset is completely missing. This is used to access the roles on the producer from consumer.
I face the same problem in both Sneak Preview SP09 and also in full version of EP70 in NW04s.
Without this, i can't proceed with federation... Is there any other workaround? Is there any solution for this one?

Ak.

Hi Shanti,
Thank for reply.
I have checked with same user in both consumer & producer portals, In that case its working fine.
If you checked with other consumer users its asking password.
For this I have tried usermapping with producer id under goto personolize -->remote iviews --> select default alias -->enter id/pwd and save for other consumer id.
How we manage for all consumer users, is there any option to mapping to all users at time.
really appriciate your inputs.

How to configure KM in federated portal network

Dear Friends,
Can anyone help me in configuring KM in federated portal network. If KM is configured in producer portal how to make use of that KM content in consumer portal.
Is it possible to directly configure KM in consumer portal?
Please help me out.
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.

Hi Sireesha,
1) In order to use all capabilities provided by Knowledge Management, the
recommended solution would be to use KM only on one portal in the federation.
This could be the central consumer portal or alternatively one of the producer
portals. Then all features, like versioning, taxonomies, approval workflows,
subscriptions, template-based publishing will be available in this portal.
2) In case KM has to be federated to different producer portals, KM iViews (e.g.
Document iViews, Navigation iViews) could be integrated with the content sharing
modes provided by FPN. However, this is not a deep integration, because only a
redirect to the remotely located iViews is performed. The services themselves, like
taxonomies, will not be available in the consumer portal.
The recommended approach is to Configure KM on Consumer Portal only or Producer portal only.

Shailesh Nagar

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..
