Graphical Business Blueprinting : Technical Requirements and Setup

Question

Dear All,
I am trying to use the Graphical Business Blueprint in Solution Manager 7.1
I followed the following steps in a bid to complete the product technical setup.
Installed the So-Co Add on using SAINT transaction. No special steps, just normal add-on installation.
Followed the steps in the setup guide for BPB (define logical ports, endpoints, services, aliases)
I am able to then load the http://hostname:port number/ebb/setup.asp web page to create a new workspace and thus create my own text file.
Then I install the BPBxxxx.exe client on my local machine, and am able to see my solution manager's name there, and log-in and validate my credentials.
However when I click on  "open existing business blueprint ", it just stays as is, no dialog box nothing.
In my Solution Manager 7.1, there is 1 project , which has business processes dragged from the Business Process Repository (BPR). (This is a sandbox system, in an isolated environment, not connected to any other system, hence no logical components are defined et all. )
Now is there a trick I am missing to view the project defined in Solution Manager system?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

Hi,
For me, the issue I faced was that the service user assigned to the logical port (LP_SOCO_SOLAR) did not have the authorisation role SAP_SOL_KW_ALL at time of creation of the logical port. Adding it to the service user later on made no difference.
I created the logical port LP_SOCO_SOLAR with a service user with the following authorisation roles and associated profiles:
/SOCO/FABRIC_ADMIN
/SOCO/FABRIC_USER
SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_ADMIN
SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_CONFIGURATOR
SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_CONSUMER
SAP_SOL_KW_ALL
SAP_SOL_PROJ_ADMIN_ALL
SAP_SOLAR01_ALL
SAP_SOLAR02_ALL
I am now able to open the project list, access and edit the business blueprint for my implementation projects.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Patrick
