How to automate the alias between Windows AD and SAP accounts

I have authentication working where I can logon via SSO with Windows AD authentication and still get to SAP BW via SAP SNC. In getting this to work I had to manually create an alias between the Windows AD account and th SAP Account. We will have thousands of users in our Business Objects environment with users coming and going each day. I have not found a way to automate the creation of the alias. There must be some way to do this, since this seems like it would be a common need for customers that want to access both SAP and non SAP resources in Business Objects. Has anyone found a way to automate the creation of the aliases? Our user ids are the same in Windows AD and SAP, so it doesn't seem like this should be that difficult, but I can't figure this out.

Thanks for the response. That was helpful. I had seen something similar is SAP Note 1269228, but that note did not mention the registry key setting. These seems like a fairly common request. Is built in support for this planned in XI 3.2 or XI 4? The reason I ask about the feature being included in future releases, is because we may hold off on taking the time to develop a script if this is soon to be part of the software.
Also, if anyone has already created a script to do this, I would be inteterested in knowing how you scripted this. How do you handle adds/removes of either SAP Authentication or Windows AD Authentication for a user? How do you handle adds or deletes of whole users?

How to create the relationship between ESSBASE 11 and DM in OBIEE11

Hi Experts,
I have one requirement that there is one property table named 'Store Master' in DW,and it contains a lot of attribute, such as Open Date, Close Date, IS 24 Hour etc.
But another data source is essbase and based on this source, I create all reports.
In ESSBASE, it has one dimension and hierarchy Location, and it has four level, Country(L1),Region (L2),Province(L3),Store(L4)
So I want to know how to create the relationship between Location (ESSBASE) and Store Master (DM).
I try to create one relationship in physical layer between Gen4,Location and Store, then drag the open date and close date into Location Dimension in BMM,then Presentation Layer.
When I drag column 'Open Date' ,'Gen4,Location ' and 'Sales' into reports, it will generate the following error message:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 14020] None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request Dim Region.Store Open Date. (HY000)
However, when I remove the column 'Open Date'. it will be ok.
So what I missing the steps? Please help me. Thanks.

'2. Now, pull the 'Store' column from relational DB onto the Gen5, Location column from Essbase. This action now creates, two logical sources for your 'Store' column.'
If the length from different data source is not same,such as 1001(DM),L_1001(ESSBASE), can I drag the 'Store' column from relational DB onto the Gen5, Location column from Essbase?
I think it does not work.Right?Hi,
I am not sure if you are talking about the length(as in varchar(128)) of the member value being different in different sources, or the member itself is different in both the sources.
I am still assuming, that you are referring to the members not same in both the sources.If it is, the whole concept of federation is based on conforming dimensions. So, it needs that the same dimension information is present in both the sources and then only, you know we can analyze the numbers based on this dimension. So, either the dimension being different in both sources, or the members not present in both the dimensions might lead to incorrect numbers.
So I select Store Attributes in relation DB and Location in ESSBASE in physical layer, then create the physical join, such as right("Hour Sales"."H_Sales".""."H_Sales"."Gen6,Location",4) = "Authorization".""."EDW"."T_EDW_MDM_STORE"."US_CODE", then drag the OPEN_DATE and CLOSE_DATE in relation DB to Location in ESSBASE in BMM,finially drag them into presentation layer.We create physical layer relationships, to send over the same relation to the underlying database during querying. So, creating a physical relationship between essbase cube and relation database would not help here.
When you set up this federation, BI Server sends individual queries to each source and maps the conforming dimension members internally.
Hope I was clear, and this helps.
Thank you,

How to test the connection between DSD backend and DSD connector

Dear all,
I am configuring the MDSD scenario .. and i want to insure that my customization is correct
How to test the connection between DSD Backend and DSD connector ??

Hi Viren,
The problem is:
We have a new BW system. The basis people asked me to check the connection between this BW system and the R/3. There is only one client for now(100). I have logged into 100 and tried executing RSA1 to check the connection, but it gave a message box saying "You can only work in Client 000". Then I have treid logging into 000(just to make sure) and tried executing RSA1. Even here I got a message saying "The SAP BW system must not be operated in client 000". Now, I am not sure of what is wrong in clien 100. I am not sure if I have to do some settings before I access RSA1 or any other BW transaction. Could you please help me in this.
Also, I just checked the RFC destinations in BW. There is a destination created for our R/3 and I have noticed that they have given a remote UserID and password for remote login. I tried to check the Remote UserID in SU01 but there is no userID with that name. Could this be a problem?
Thanks,
RPK.

How to manage the space between a table and its title?

Have tables where titles are very close to the main text and need a couple of points to separate these elements. How to reshape this space?
1. Titles were separated by a return that is not visible... (any code is revealed by ID)
2. When a Return is inserted after the title, nothing happens aparently, but this return is now visible and could be used as a «paragraph space after» value:
3. A solution could be Grep to catch the end of paragraph assigned to titles to insert a return;
but Grep only catches the right border of the table (the yellow mark shows the big blinking cursor);
Grep cannot see the end of paragraph in the tables's title.
It another method?
Basically, how to modify the space between a table and ists title

I think you and Bob are not in synch here.
Bob suggested that you could use paragraph spacing, but for that to work you do need to use separate paragraphs for the title and table, which you don't seem to be doing. Using GREP to find the end of the paragraph only works if there IS and end to the paragraph. As far as I know there is now meta-character to use in Find/Change that would allow you to find a table and insert a paragraph break ahead of it, but I bet it could be scripted.
I'm not quite sure what you were trying to find in the GREP you posted. Did you actually have a paragraph return inserted already after the title? In that case you only need to redefine the style for that paragraph to add the space (or redefine the style for the paragraph that holds the table itself). You don't need the GREP. But the reason it does nothing is that you've found a location -- the end of the paragraph, but haven't found any actual text to modify. To do anything you would need to use something like .$
But back to NOT having a separate paragraph... If you put the cursor in any table cell and go to Table Options > Table Setup tab you'll see fields to set space before and after the table that should do what you want. That was the second part of what he posted.

How to Set Up SSO Between IBM WebSphere and SAP EP Using JAAS

Hi
I have read the article on SDN called "How to Set Up SSO Between IBM WebSphere and SAP EP Using JAAS", which is also the name of my posting.
The reason why I post this is that I've tried to follow the links in the PDF to get the file WebsphereEpSsoLib.zip but I get an error 403, which tells me that the file is not there.
Does anybody know where this file went or can somebody tell me an alternative place to get this file?

BCT - how to find the difference between installed BCT and the newest BCT?

Hi,
How do I find the difference between installed BCT and the newest BCT?
or find a description of the newest BCT?
Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
I am aware of the possibilities you mention.
I am looking for a way to find the parts of the business content that has been modified since I installed our current version WITHOUT installing anything.
That is for example:
If F&R business content has been moved from 3.x technology to 7.0
If there is changes to the F&R content at all
-> if our current version of business content already contains the newest version of Business Content for F&R, then it is not a prerequirement to an F&R project that we update business content.
The possibility to see that the only changes might be in the area of SAP HCM ...
Thank you.

How to isolate the signals between TX/RX and RX2 on the USRP N210?

Hello everyone,
I want to use one USRP N210 to transmit and receive signals simultaneously. But when I try to transmit signals from TX/RX and receive signals from RX2(the transmitted and received signals are on the same center frequency), I found that the there are signals leaked from TX/RX to RX2. What can I do if I want to isolate the signals between TX/RX and RX2?
Thanks very much!

Hello -
I believe two questions are being asked on this thread:
1. Isolation: The internal switch provides about 30dB of isolation between TX/RX and RX2. As with most transcievers, if you transmit and recieve on the same frequency at the same time you will recieve your own transmission as well.
2. Spurs: The USRP represents and optimized price vs performance and some images and spurs will occur. Often they can be predicted as you mention. One thing you can do is use the CORDIC to acquire a signal at IF and then digitally shift I and Q to the ceneter frequency and bandwidth of interest. This is done by setting the 'lo' via a property node and 'center frequency' to different values.
Other NI RF instrumentation options are available if you're looking for RF performance. The NI 5791 was recenty released and may be of interest.

Erik

How to automate the loading of Correspondence attachment and templates

Under the "*Administration - Document*" screen, in our application ( version 8.0.0.3 Public Sector ) , we have 4 tabs / views , they are "*Correspondence Attachments*", "*Case Attachments*", "*Correspondence Templates*" and "*Literature*". We are going to have at least 3000 of these files that are needed to be loaded into each of this view. Is there a way to automate the process of the bulk loading of these documents / files into Siebel ( The Siebel operation performed could be Insert , Update or Delete ).
Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks
S

"2. To avoid the above painful process as an ongoing task, setup the document server for
handling this more smoothly. Refer Correspondence, Proposals, and Presentations Guide."
We do have document server component up and running. But if we have 3000 templates that need to do loaded into Siebel , how can document server would help in this sense without having someone to manually creating a new Correspondence Template record ? I am looking for an automated process that can be reused repeatedly.

How to automate the execution of several programs and use their output

Dear java members,
I am trying to figure out how to get data from a file, database, or program and use that information in another program. Can you help please?
I have looked through several texts and while the information is there somewhere I have not found the specific capabilities or examples that explain how to do this.
I want to learn how to do this with objects.
The specific applications I am working with are the GIS (Geographic Information System) suite of ESRI products such as ArcInfo and ArcView.
I am working with simulators for hydrologeology (ground water) and other geophysical phenomenae. Programs for decisions and assessment of probability such as found in geostatistical analyses packages. Drawing programs and data manipulation programs such as spreadsheets in windows and scripting languages found in most Unix packages.
I want to be proprietary platform free! I want to be accessing apps and or data wherever they are and in whichever form they are in or best used.
Web techniques and protocols are where I think most of my effort will be focused.
One of the mediums (media) that I expect to use a lot is XML.
If I can find a simplified (generalized) explanation how this is done and how the parts fit together through and or with objects. If I can find references to texts and examples I will be very appreciative and very much less confused.
I am interested in using the Java programming language.
Thank you
ctavares1

Hello Tavares,
What you seek can be done, but before that you must know from where you want to take the data. In what form you will get the data in and where you want to use it and how.
Your problem is what we call an architectural issue. If possible please write to me at [email protected]
With the above information - I shall be able to help you to some extent.
