FPN Scenario -- Consumer Portal upgrade to EHP1 SP3

We're upgrading our consumer portal from 7.0 sp15 to 7.01 (ehp1) sp3.  Our two producer portals are going to stay on 7.0 sp14 and 7.0 sp15.  We're using federated as well as KM webdav (from consumer to producer).
I looked at all the notes and searched the forums and found no one having issues with the consumer portal being on EHP1 and the producer being on just 7.0.
Did anyone find any issues with this scenario?
Thanks.

Hi Kiran,
Thanks for your reply. 
What issues did you have with having different SP levels?  Are you having issues using RDL, RRA, or RAI?
I thought the main advantages of FPN was that so that we can maintain the sync between the the abap and java stacks.  For example, we have the following scenario:
Consumer:  NW 7.0 sp15
R/3 Producer: NW 7.0 sp14 with abap
BW Producer: NW 7.0 sp15 with abap
As long as I keep my consumer portal version >= any of the producers version, I'll be ok.
I would think that upgrading your producer portal and not having it aligned with your abap stack would cause you more issues than keeping it aligned with abap and having different versions on producers and consumer.

  • Upgrade to EHP1 java (Portal) alone from NW 7.0 SP12

    Hi
    We are in the process of upgrading our portal NW 7.0 SP12 to EHP1 SP06.
    Java FAQs says that we can use just JSPM to deploy as its just a java standalone.
    Has anyone used JSPM to upgrade to EHP1 from NW7.0? instead of EHPi?
    Thanks

    U are giving me some confidence sunny.
    I tried using JSPM but its not deducting the xml file and also I choose the single support pack (advance option) its only picking up the source version as 12 and the target version says not found?
    Does that mean I have not downloaded all the components required in EPS/in directory? if so what all components I have to download? 
    Bcos in the market place if I choose NW 7.0 ---> Link to sp stack it shows me till SPS22.
    And for EHP1NW 7.0 it starts from EHP1 ISS initial shipment stack to SPS07.
    If I download both the above I will get two stack files?
    Should I update till SP22 in NW 7.0 and then start applying EHP1?
    Thanks

  • FPN - Saving BI Links (KM Bookmarks) to the Consumer Portal Favorites

    Hi, I'm posting this message again in hopes that either a mentor, SAP person, or Portal Expert can help.  I have received several emails from people looking to do the same thing I am.  The problem seems like a major integration gap between Portals and BI.
    We use a Federated Portal Network where the Enterprise Portal (EP) is the Consumer Portal and the BI
    Portal (BP) is the Producer Portal. BI Report Users access BI Reports from the Enterprise Portal through Remote Role Assignment.
    BI Report "Save As" functionality allows you to save a "KM Bookmark" to the BI Portal Favorites. I am specifically looking to save a "KM Bookmark" to the Enterprise Portal(Consumer) Favorites and NOT the BI Portal(Producer).  This only makes sense since our users only have access to the Enterprise Portal.
    Our users are accessing their BI Reports from the Enterprise Portal and the users would like to save a link (KM Bookmark) to their Enterprise Portal Favorites.  Currently, it looks like the "Save As" Functionality for saving "KM Bookmarks" is only allowing (Pointing) us to save the KM bookmarks to our BI Portal.
    1. In an FPN Environment can we save a "KM Bookmark" Link to a BI Report into the Enterprise (Consumer) Portal Favorites?
    2. If we are in a FPN Environment and users cannot save KM Bookmarks to Enterprise Portal Favorites and can only put "KM Bookmarks" in the BI Portal then how are users to access their links from the Enterprise Portal Environment?
    3. Just a note.  I think these saved links are called KM Bookmarks.  You can see this from the BI Report "Save As" dialog.  If you do a search through SAP Documentatiion you do not see a single reference to "KM Bookmark".
    4. I have found OSS Note1149597, but I do not believe this addresses this exact issue
    If anyone can provide some valuable insight into this Portal and BI Integration it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank You,
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Has anyone seen any new information on this?  The described behavior makes the BI query "save" function completely useless in the context of an FPN consumer portal.
    Note [1149597|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1149597] is very little help as near as I can tell.  We tested the "fix" in a DEV environment, and while it technically "resolves" the problem with where the favorites get saved, we end up with all of our BI content actually being "published" to the consumer by the BEx tools.  This sort of defeats the purpose of implementing an FPN in the first place, even if the requests are redirected back to the producer by the recommended BEx iView mods.
    We have implemented a work-around by creating a RDL in our consumer portal to the producer portal's standard "Portal Favorites" iView.  However, we're not happy with this solution as we end up with multiple "favorites" areas in our central consumer portal (one for remote BI content and another for "local" favorites).  We also don't want to maintain the favorties that get saved to the producer portal.

  • Producer content is not visible in Consumer portal in FPN

    Hi All,
    we have configured FPN and the connection is successful, but we are not able to see the Producer content in  Consumer portal.
    and we are not able to search the producer roles from Identity Management of Consumer also.
    We did,
    1.  we configured trust between two portals.
    2. Registered Producer.
    3. Remote_role  with  actions aslo added in Producer.
    Thank you.

    Check whether you have proper permissions on the pcd objects (roles/pages/iviews) in producer portal.
    Also check the producer roles have entry point 'Yes'.
    Also you should logon to the producer with the same role atleast once as you are assigning the producer role in conusmer portal(RRA). This is the limitation in FPN.

  • BI query not properly displaying in Consumer Portal - Through FPN - RRA

    Hi Everyone,
    we have implemented FPN between EP 7.0 and BI 7.0 . A role with BI reports (iview created using Bex7.0 template) are working fine in BI Portal.
    When its RRA to a users in EP-consumer portal, its not coming properly. I mean it shows some default header/Menu (like New Analysis Open, Save As, Information, Send etc..) in EP but not displaying the details of the report. Other URL iviews are working fine in RRA, just BI query is not coming properly. All pre-requisite for FPN is done properly and SSO configured.
    Appreciate if some one can provide a solution
    Thanks

    Dear Guru,
    I am also facing the same problem.  What you had faced earlier.  Can you explain the detailed solution to resolve this
    problem. BI query not properly displaying in Consumer Portal - Through FPN - RRA.
    If you can explain the solution that will be great.
    With Thanks and Regards,
    Anil Kumar.

  • Reg FPN Role assignment in consumer portal

    Hi Team
    We are trying to implement FPN between two portals both are EP7 SP20
    i followed the basic steps like
    1  establishing the trust between portals
    2  regestration of producer portal in consumer portal
    I am able to see the roles created in producer portal in consumer portal with the help of User administration--Identity management tool
    the probelm we are facing is when i assign the role in consumer portal to a user it is not getting assigned but it is getting assigned in the producer portal
    pls let what i need to do inorder for the producer role to be assigned to consumer portal user
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    already saw this several times. Unfortuantely, it never was a FPN error. It always was human error:
    Confused by the Consumer / Producer concept the Admin created the role assignment in the producer and not in the consumer.
    Just check that you are really using the consumer.
    If so, consider opening up an OSS message.

  • Navigation Tag Library in Consumer Portal of Federated Portal Network

    In a FPN scenario, is it possible to use the Navigation Tag Library in the consumer portal for the top level navigation? I have developed a custom top level navigation based on the navigation tag library, but when navigating to the role of the producer and back again I can no longer view the roles in the consumer portal.

    Hi,
    I know this was posted a long time ago, but I'm currently experiencing a similar issue in the TLN between a federated CE and EP portal. Did you manage to resolve your problem? In my case it looks like when you access the CE content from EP it cannot find its way back to EP when clicking on another link on the EP side. Looking at the logs it seems as if it's looking for the content on the CE system even though it's obviously not there.
    Cheers,

  • Slow response and access of Weblogic Portal Workshop 8.1 sp3

    Hi All,
    Environement : Weblogic Portal 8.1 sp3
    Weblogic Portal Workshop 8.1 sp3
    Windows XP
    Problem:
    When the application initially opens up in Weblogic Portal Workshop , the scanning takes too much time.At that time CPU usage is almost 100% with only Weblogic Portal Workshop running. Our application has a webapplication module whose build also takes almost 20 mins. After a build , the workshop hangs with 'Out of memory' error.
    Size of our application is almost 200 MB (source code with library files). The application also uses almost 60 .JCS and .JCX files.
    Solutions we tried.
    1. The RAM memory was upgraded to 2GB with a processor speed of 3.3 GHz
    2. We have updated the workshop.cfg with the parameter of -XX:-UseThreadPriorities -Xmx768m
    Thanks a lot in advance

    We have had some of the same problems with our 8.1.3 portal. The performance is terrible in Workshop.
    Unfortunally i dont have that much more advice then that you could try to split your application into several projects to reduce the strain on Workshop and hopefully reduce the build time.

  • Update from NWCE 7.1 SR5 to NWCE 7.11 EHP1 SP3

    Hi,
    I would like to update from NWCE 7.1 SR5 to NWCE 7.11 EHP1 SP3 using ceupdatemanager.exe. Is that possible?
    The server is behind a proxy with authentication, is the update manager able to handle this? What are other possibilities?
    Best regards,
    Kevin

    I've begun my upgrade of CE 7.1 SP6 to CE 7.11 SP3
    I opened a Message with SAP and they suggested I use "SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1 ‒ Update to SP03
    or Higher of SAP Enhancement Package 1"
    Of course SAP recommends you use consulting to help with the install/upgrade.
    Basically download the packages from service.sap.com and follow ceupdatemanager executions. 
    I've run into a road block, the server0 node after the Offline JSPM deployment will not startup again (Phase 3 of 5), the upgrade has failed because the engine didn't start back up after a boat load of time.
    com.sap.engine.services.dc.api.deploy.EngineTimeoutException: [ERROR CODE DPL.DCAPI.1041] Deploy API could not retrieve the Result after 7200000 ms.
    Possible reasons:
            1.J2EE Engine cannot start.
                    Please check in Sap MMC or jcmon the engine status.
                            -If the server is stopped please check the server log files why the engine cannot start.
            2.Engine is up and running but deploy controller could not be looked up due to some Runtime exception.
                    Please start telnet session to the SAP Application Server , check if the tcbldeploy_controller service is started.
    Archive with all relevant logs and traces is created in /usr/sap/DOA/J23/j2ee/JSPM/log/errorReport.zip
    JSPM version is 7.11.3.0.15. Current JSPM log directory is /usr/sap/DOA/J23/j2ee/JSPM/log/log_2009_10_17_19_49_38.
    So This is what I'm going through to upgrade the system to CE 7.11 EHP1 SP3, let me know if you started or are thinking about it and if you uncovered any more information that could be usefull.
    If the OSS message I opened for my problem doesn't come back soon, I'll post my problem on this forum maybe someone did this too.

  • Producer portal iviews are not rendered on Consumer portal.

    Hello People,
    We are currently in the process of upgrading our portal from EP7.4 SP03 to EP 7.4 SP07.
    There are some remote iviews that we take from another portal.
    These remote role assignment iviews do not open and no reports open assigned with them giving us the below error:
    Could not open iView. The iView is not compatible with your browser,
    operating system, or device. Contact your system administrator for more
    information
    These iviews work with IE9,IE11 but not with Chrome on the Consumer portal
    These iVIews are rendering on the Producer portal (EP7.0) but not on the Consumer,newer version.
    The issue with the remote iViews is only on Chrome. I did not find any SAP note or patch that can help with the compatibility for Chrome.
    Does anyone has idea regarding this?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Deep

    Hi All,
    After some discussions with SAP support, we got a response saying that currently Chrome browser is not supported for Producer portal reports (See SAP Note 1655306 - Google Chrome for end
    users and administrators).   
    Hence, we need to continue using only IE for such cases.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Deep Desai

  • No Content available for this navigation node message after Portal Upgrade

    Hi,
    After Portal upgrade to 7.01 EHP1 SP7, when we are clicking on any role at the TLN, the Portal Content area is showing the message " No Content available for this navigation node". However before upgrade when we are clicking on any TLN role the content area used to show the first iview in the folder in the detailed navigation.
    Please help as we are in a very critical state.

  • Patchset 3 application for portal upgrades

    i was just wondering ... has anybody applied the patchset 3 for portal upgrades - for 3.0.9 to 9.0.4 portals? .... while my experience on these forums is quite frustrating as no body replies usually ... yet if anyone has done it then i would like to know about this patchset results.
    - did it go smoothly? specially the second part
    - did you restore the files and folders manually after applying the repository update? the list of files ... that are given for manual restoration. is it essential to restore them for complete application of this patchset? the long long documentation is ambiguous about it.
    - how did you restart the portal.

    thank you for the message.
    i asked for the experience because the long documentation in this patchset 3 tells us neither to try to access the portal application, nor to retry the patch set, if it fails in the second part of it. there is also no way to uninstall patchset 3 or any of its parts. in that scenario, they only recommend contacting the Oracle support.
    the documentation seemed a little unclear at best because it did not hint or mention about restoring files and folders after the application of the patchset in the part of documentation before application steps. it asks you to do this only after these steps that restore files and folders - some automatically and some need to be done manually. it recommends the backup at many different stages for all the system. so i did not restore those files manually because i did not have a complete back up and missed a few files. so my mistake!!
    it did not fix the error wwc-41417. i restarted all services and components but on trying to login to the portal i got it again. but it is hard to conclude if it only happened because the files were not restored.
    that is why i asked about other people's experience if they have applied it.
    how did you apply it?
