BW Workbook as an iView in the Enterprise Portal

I keeping getting a dialog box asking to select the appropriate program to open the workbook. When I select .xls it opens, and it shows the parameters I entered and not the workbook. The customer is on NW04 Stack 11.
I followed ever step on help.sap.com site as listed below.
BW workbooks are MS Excel workbooks with one or more embedded BW queries. You are able to display these workbooks in the Enterprise Portal as iViews.
Features
Workbooks are displayed in a separate MS Excel window. Opening workbooks within the Web browser window is not possible for technical reasons.
BW workbooks require the BEx Analyzer, which requires a local installation of the SAP GUI for Windows with the BW front end.
SAP recommends that you use BEx Web applications in the Enterprise Portal that run completely in the Web browser.
You can use the function Export as Excel 2000 File from the BW Web application context menu as an alternative to using a local installation of the BW front end if you require Excel functions. See Context Menu Functions and Exporting as a CSV File/Excel 2000 File.
An iView with a workbook can be generated using the Portal Content Studio or Role Upload. For more information, see Generating Content from SAP BW for the Enterprise Portal.
The iViews are of type SAP Transaction iView and have the code link com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.Transaction.
The most important properties are System, Transaction (TCODE) and ApplicationParameter.
·The System property contains the alias on the BW system (see Creating BW Systems in the Portal).
·The transaction code for every workbook is RRMXP.
·The value WBID= is in the ApplicationParameter property.
You can determine the workbook ID with the BEx Analyzer:
a. Open the desired workbook.
b. In the BEx toolbar, choose ® OLAP Functions for Active Cells ® Properties. The Information tab page contains the Workbook ID (Server).
Note that with BW workbooks as an iView, the AutoStart property contains the value True (process first screen) and the GuiType property contains the value WinGui.
Anyone have a solution for this to work?
Thanks,
-Eli

Dear Rasmesh,
Please try to do this suggestion:
3. How can I use SAP Application Integrator to access SAP transactions?
There are two different ways to use the SAP Application Integrator transaction iView. In both cases please use a URL like 'irj://com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.Transaction' followed by your custom parameters like '?System=DEV&TCode=SE38&GuiType=WinGui &WinGui_Type=Shortcut&OkCode=SHOP'.
The parameters are:
System [mandatory]
TCode [mandatory]
GuiType (=WinGui / WebGui / JavaGui) [mandatory]
WinGui_Type (=Shortcut ..if you want to launch the GUI in a new window)
OkCode (The OkCode that you would like to be executed after the transcation is called by SAP GUI.)
ApplicationParameter (Pass these values to your screen fields which needs to be be separated by
AutoStart (true / false)
UseSPO1 (true / false)
For a complete list of parameters please consult http://help.sap.com.

Branding bar in the Enterprise Portal

Hi,
All the requirements is to build of the header bar (branding bar) in the Enterprise Portal.
Currently when I click in left nav , the SAP EP Links open up in new window.
These pages do not have any Company Branding header on the top.
I am required to put Branding header on these EP Pages and call them on to MOSS UI.
Plz refer the solution to me.
Thanks,

Dear Sanjay ,
Please clarify the below points so that we can understand exactly what issue you are facing .
1. " requirements is to build of the header bar (branding bar)" --- Are you referring to the portal MastHead ?
(typically mastheadincludes -- welcome "name of user who logs in " , Branding Image - horizontal image bar, help , log off n personalize button"
2. "when I click in left nav , the SAP EP Links open up in new window. "
In the left Navigation what are you clicking , what exactly is opening in a new window .

How to bind an IIS to the enterprise portal installed on a linux machine

Dear all,
I am very new to the topic of Enterprise Portal.
Our intention is, to develop .NET IViews and deploy them in the Enterprise Portal.
The Enterprise Portal Server is set up on a linux machine.
The Guy who did install the Portal Server, has no idea how to "integrate" the Microsoft IIS to the Portal.
After deploying my .net Component, i tried to view this component in the portal (by right clicking the mouse on the Component in in the .NET Solutions Explorer).
This gives me the following error:
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occured while processing a request for:
iView:N/A
Component Name: N/A
Could not find portal application com.sap.portal.dotnet.framework.
Exception id: 02:06.......
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
I think that this has something in common with integrating the IIS on the Linux Machine, and maybe additionaly installing the pdk.net on the IIS webserver machine which should be used.
Thank you for your help.
Regards

Hi,
Welcome to the world of Enterprise portal
Seems to me like you are trying to use the PDK for .NET. If so - Please read the overview section in the documentation to get a general idea of how it works (for example - IIS is not used at all!).
See the Visual Studio integrated help or click this https://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/dotnet/index.htm
there go to "Getting Started" and mostly "Overview".
Anyway, It seems like the problem is that you didn't deploy the 2 required SDA's to the portal. You should also take a look at the "installation and configuration" guide. Download it here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/dotnet.sdn?contenttype=url&content=/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/pdk for .net administrator guides.zip
Good luck,
Ofer

Hi,
How have you defined the property "WAS host" for the portal system that you have created for the back-end?
You might get this error if the way you have defined this WAS host property and the way you are calling the portal are different. For example, if your WAS host property is "<hostname>:<portnumber>" and you are calling your portal as "localhost:<portnumber>", then you will get this error.
Also are you connecting to your portal using the fully qualified domain name? Don't call the portal simply as
http://<host>:<port>/irj but call it as http://<host>.<domain>:<port>/irj.

Satyajit.

Web Based Application Single Sign on With Enterprise Portal

Good day Developers,
My question is really a two part question so forgive me in advance for asking in one post as I think they are relative to each other. My project is currently exlporing the creation of functionality that will allow the following:
1. We want to allow a secure Web Based application possessing the abilitiy to auithenticate the user into Enterprise Portal and by passing the login screen to get to a landing page/iview in our Enterprise Portal instannce.
2. We want the abilitity to perform a check of the user and create the user in the enterprise portal on the fly if they do not already exist.
So far in my research I've come across tools and white papers mentioning the use rof oAuth and OpenID. Is that the right way to tackle these two items. Thanks for your help in advance.
JD

Hi
1. You can do SSO between you application and portal using Verisign or third party authentication tool. I am not pretty sure how landing page and all will work as you mentioned.
As portal is web based, you can deply your application in portal server. So that you will not need any other authentication tool.Also you can save effort , cost.
2. By deploying application in portal also you do not have to concentrate on User management, which is itself a huge effort you have to put. Else you can go for third party tools like Identity management or ADS.

SSO (single sign on) on NetWeaver 7.0 Enterprise Portal based on spnego with Microsoft Active Directory

Hi,
we are using SAP Netweaver Enterprise Portal 7.0 (SP25) based on Windows 2008 R2/Oracle 11g.
When we setup the Portal, we used the UME of the ECC - ABAP.
The portal is used internally only.
Now we want to provide SSO.
User authenticate against Windows Active Directory (Windows 2003).
We thought SSO via spnego would be the best solution.
Any better alternates, we should use?
We are following the SAP documentation:
SAP-Bibliothek - Benutzerauthentifizierung und Single Sign-On
We still want to create users in ABAP and assign them the portal roles. LDAP access should only have read access, to verify the security token from Active Directory.
When we setup the portal from scratch using ABAP as its UME, in the system configuration, LDAP can't be selected/add as data source.
In case we understand the documentation correctly, we would now need to add LDAP via the configtool for read access.
What is not clear to us, when we active now LDAP via config tool, if we would now lose the ABAP connection.
Is there a tutorial for SSO Netweaver 7.0 EP, like for EP 7.3, available?
In 7.3 SSO is pretty simple to get it running, thanks to the many tutorials here and on the internet.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards

Hi,
I was able to generate the key via ktab program.
But when I am enable SSO, nothing is happening when I try to log-on via SSO to the portal.
I installed WebDiag tool on the portal server and ran trace.
The users are located in domain: company.com of activate directory.
The Java AS are located in domain: sap.company.com of activate directory.
The sap.company.com domain acts as child of company.com.
When I check the WebDiag trace, I see for the SPNegoLoginModule - the entry "... no key (etype: 23) for realm sap.company.com available ..."
I would except company.com as realm key, as the keytabs have been generated on the domain controller of company.com.
Is it possible to get SSO with child domain running?
Based on the statement of the network folks, child and father domain having a trust.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards
Carlos

Double stack BI and Enterprise portal for SSO

I am in the process of configuring a double stack BI and SAP Enterprise Portal. Both systems are residing on different domains. We want to utilize the standalone SAP Enterprise Portal for our BEx etc. For that I have exchanged certificates between the ABAP and the SAP Enterprise Portal systems and with the help of Support desk tool I have overcome the certificate issues. The RFC connection from ABAP and SAP Enterprise Portal works fine. The Support desk tool is complaining now about the prefix of these two servers. Also when I check the connection testing between these two systems all the messages are correct except for WEBAS connection it complains about the ping service which is already active on ABAP side. For Connectors it complains about SSO which is not detected/complained by the Support desk tool (0.426). I need your advice:
1. Either uninstall the JAVA instance of BI or
2. Make a Federated Portal network by making the BI JAVA as PRODUCER and the SAP standalone as CONSUMER.
The Support package levels are the same as EHP1 SP 7 of both the double stack BI and the standalone Enterprise Portal systems. The source of users are both local to the systems.

SSO for SAP and Non-SAP applications without Enterprise Portal

Dear all,
Is it possible to implement SSO for both SAP and non-SAP applications without involvement of EP at all?
I have gone through this link.
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e5/4344b6d24a05408ca4faa94554e851/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e5/4344b6d24a05408ca4faa94554e851/frameset.htm</a>
But I still i am not able to get the precise answer on how to enable SSO for both SAP and non-SAP applications without EP.
We have decided not to implement EP in first phase of SAP implementation. But we need to enable SSO for other SAP and Non-SAP applications.
A detailed description on how to deal this kind of scenarios will be helpful.
Thanks.

A client of our's uses SAP Enterprise Portal, and is using the SAP SSO, which is implemented with tickets, and requires the use of SAPSECULIB. My company provides an application for this client, and our application in hosted in our data center for the client, as a Software as a Service application, obviously across the internet. Our client, which owns a SAP license, has asked that we support the SAP SSO as a non-SAP SSO application. The client user's SSO ticket will be created from SAP EP, and then passed across the internet to our application, and we are to use that SSO ticket as an authentication ticket to our application. I beleive I know how to do this work technically, having reviewed the SAP document named: "Dynamic Library for Verifying SSO Tickets in Third-Party Software" Specification Version 2.00 December 2005.
My question is, does my company have the right to use the SAPSECULIB? Where is the official download and license download, that indicates we can download this library, and use it to support a SAP customer? We do not own a SAP license. Thank you for your help. I have searched many places in SAP support.

Performance issue of BI reports in SAP Enterprise portal

Dear Friends,
We have integrated BI reports with SAP Enterprise portal 7.0.Reports are running properly But the issue is reports are taking more time to dispsaly its content and leading it to performance effect.
In Bex ( BI side) reports performance is little better than SAP EP platform. BI Team also looking for ways to improve performance at BI side.
Could you please share your valuable ideas to improve the performance at SAP EP side also ..
Thanks and Regards
Ratnakar Reddy

Hi ratnakar,
The first step is to identify which component is causing the performance problem. Run your report in the portal but try appending the string &PROFILING=X in the end of the URL. This will generate BI statistics which you can use to see which component (Java stack, ABAP stack, Database) is causing the performance issue.
Hope this helps.
