SAP Front End

Hi Gurus,
I have to install SAP front end on 600 PCs. How can I automate it instead of installing it physically? Is there any way of using Solution Manager. Please be informed it is a global implementation as well.
Regards, Nabi.

Good morning, Nabi - There are two possibilities, depending on your existing infrastructure. The first option is provided by SAP. You can install what is known as a SAPGui Installation Server. You then apply patches and configure installation packages on this server. It also has a distribution mechanism in the form of an Installation Service and a Distribution Service. These are useful because they can allow non-administrators to still update the SAPGui on a desktop. You can then create a log-on script on the PC to check to see if the SAPGui is installed, and if so if it is up to date. If it is not, the software will be installed/patched. This is an option if you do not have any other software distribution tools in your enterprise.
The option that we use is to utilize Microsoft System Management Server (now being replaced/renamed to System Center Configuration Manager 2007) to launch the setup command line on each PC. This provides more control for the distribution and you can then also do more reporting on the PCs that have the package installed.
Please let me know if you need additional information. I provided an answer to a similiar question in the SAPGui Forum also.

Blair Towe

The installation of SAP Front-End components failed with 95 errors.

I tried to install SAP GUI 7.20 on Windows Vista X64. And I got this error message:
The installation of SAP Front-End components failed with 95 errors.
This 7.20 version used to run on this operating system fine. I reinstalled the OS, and now I got this.

Hi,
I suppose you reinstalled the same OS.
Did you install the JSDK (java) afterwards. As you must be aware Java is a pre-requisite for the SAP Frontend.
Also make sure you have set the environment variables after installing java.
Further documentation, the SAP installation manual can be found in the u201CDOCUu201D folder of the installation software.

Working in PI with SAP Front end

Hi
Thanks for all the links and documents regarding PI. I'm learning PI through SAP Front End. Needed to know if there is a possibility that I write my own Java code and then convert them to web services or enterprise services. is this possible using SAP front end? or PI? Should I be using CE to do the coding and conversion to web services or PI is enough
Thanks & Regards
Vijay

You require a NWDS for coding and deploying the same into Web AS JAVA engine.
The architecture of WAS should support if you have to expose your java service as a webservice.
You might need to implement certain Web AS webservice API so that it will expose that java service as webservice.

Hi Anand,
I would not care about those files, because they are unneccessary. mscreate.dir is a 0 byte file which just tells that microsoft has created this directory. The *.gid files are winhelp files that get created when you first use the help function.

The LSH User has access on the Share. I have see that in the properties of the Service following Path is: "

Patch 10 i cannot install because i have no login in the marktplace.
2 Problem: Another Problem after installation SAP GUI with SAP Installation Server is that the after reboot PC the user lose all domain rights on the PC. I can resolve the Problem with the Program "gpupdate /force" (domain programm). At the next reboot the user have no domain rights. This problem repeats 3 times.
Both problems are urgent!

BO SSO with the SAP front end tool

Hi ,
I am trying to go with SSO in the BO 3.0 version but i an facing an error when i am trying to create the ticket .... i am pasting the error and the architecture of the process kindly help me in this issue....
Please can we have SSO setup in the following envioronments and applications
BO Systems : B0S/B0D/B0Q/B0P
EP Systems: S0E/D0E/Q0E/P0E
Applications: InfoViewApp /CmcApp
This is required for complete implementation of Business Objects security model because SAP users do not have passwords
Problem Description: (Precise description of problem)
Setup SSO in the following environments and applications :
BO Systems : B0S/B0D/B0Q/B0P
EP Systems: S0E/D0E/Q0E/P0E
Applications: InfoViewApp /CmcApp
This is required for complete implementation of Business Objects security model because SAP users do not have passwords
Analysis:
SAP side u2013 items already complete:
- on the SAP side the portal needs to generate tickets for the BI system
- the BI system needs to trust the Portal
- the BI system needs to accept SSO tickets
- all the machines need to be in the same domain
Installation of the complete items can be confirmed by the presents of portal login ticket at these addresses :
Several issues needs to be checked in the Business Objects environment:
- the SAP authentication needs to be configured for the SAP system
- the web.xml for InfoView needs to use secSAPR3 as default setting for the authentication
- the default system in the SAP authentication options should be configured to use your SAP BI system
- the Business Objects system needs to be in the same domain
Analysis of authorization requirements (Mandatory for programs and tables):
Solution: (Final solution)
To complete the SSO implementation in the SAP BO environment, these issues should be completed:
1): Test that the SAP portals actually accepts portal login tickets:
https://epproduction-app.statoil.no/irj/portal
https://epquality-app.statoil.no/irj/portal
https://epdevelopment-app.statoil.no/irj/portal
https://epsandbox-app.statoil.no:56201/irj/portal
2): Implement and test the following items:
- the SAP authentication needs to be configured for the SAP system
- the web.xml for InfoView needs to use secSAPR3 as default setting for the authentication
- the default system in the SAP authentication options should be configured to use your SAP BI system
- the Business Objects system needs to be in the same domain
3): Check that fully qualified URLu2019s for BO systems calls the sso login:
- This also should be tested and confirmed working by the basis team (EDB) before the task is completed
- Comparison with production setup today is required
- Fully operational SSO setup in Prod can be found at: http://boxi.statoil.no:8080/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp
Tomcat implementation
SSO setup implicates these reconfiguration elements:
-     Update of web.xml for InfoViewApp and CmcApp in Tomcat :
This is the correct web.xml setup for SSO (gathered from prod env.):

Hi Sanjeev,
It is kind of very hard to go through all the details you have written.
You have BO 3.0 and SAP in Back End.
First you have to install BOBJ
Then install Integration Kit.
Then you have to take some steps in SAP BI side such as creating RFC.
Then you will import your roles into BOBJ by going to CMC.
After that one you will be able to attain SSO.
Have you done all? If yes then exactly what error or issue you are getting? Be brief please.
When you mention any problem mention following.
What version you have?
What is in the back end?
What service Pack and Fix Pack you installed?
What environment you have?
What error you are getting and on which step?
Regards,
Bashir Awan

Front End Installation Server - Administrator rights on client PC's

We are using a third party repackaging tool to deploy sapgui to our workstations. This has proven to be problematic in the past and are now considering the SAP Front End Installation server approach.
After reveiwing the installation guide we are wondering about how packages are deployed to workstations. Our users do not have administrator priveleges on thier workstations, so is it still possible to deploy packages from the installation server (either where they "pull" it down, or it is pushed down to them).
This factor is one reason we are still using the third party repackaging tool because packages can be deployed under a "system" account (via a cleint agent on each PC) - in lieu of each user having administrator privelges on their workstations.
If the SAP Installation server requires users to have these elevated priveleges it won't be an option for us. Does anyone else have any experience with the Installation server and users who do not have administrator priveleges?
Any feedback, directions, or links to additional resources would be greatly appreciated and happily rewarded with positive feedback and reward points
thanks,

Upgrade to SAP BPC 7.0 with cluster system (Front-End & Back-End)

Hello,
I have to do an upgrade document about an outlooksoft 5.0 SP2 to SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 in a cluster system.
It has 2 front-ends (IIS cluster windows) & 2 back-ends (SQL Cluster).
We are going to do first the migration in 1 node, and then in another. The first upgrade in the first node I understand. I uninstall outlookdoft 5.0, install SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 and then restore the backup of the Appset, and do the posts upgrade action of the Dimension TIME.
But in the second, what do we do??? I uninstall outlookdoft 5.0, install SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 and then what??? Do I have to restore the backup of the Appset again???
I need help.
Best regards.
Pablo Mortera.

Hello,
On the second cluster node, you have only to install the software, nothing related to the appset. If you alreay run the migration stepts for the appset, all the information are into daatbase and file server.
However, the normal behaviour is to make the installation on the both nodes, make the basic tests to validate the installation and then proceed with the appset migration.
Best regards,
Mihaela

Using SAP BI front-end on external data sources

We are currently reviewing the BI technical strategy at our organisation and SAP BI is in the running where we have a need to cover more data sources than just R/3.
Because of the investment made in building other reporting databases, in the short to medium term we are considering using SAP BI as the front-end.
I have built a Virtual InfoProvider using DTP on a SQL Server database, and initial findings are interesting.
I would also like to consider other methods of using SAP BI as a front-end, and this post is a plea for further options.
Some of the existing reports that we need to replace would be based on views in the database, whereas others are driven by result sets from stored procedures.
I am curious about where all the effort is made, for example, will all the filtering be applied at source or back in BW?
Will a user-entry variable allow a lookup to the source?
We have recently upgraded to NW2004s, although we have not implemented the Java Stack .... yet. We intend to complete the implementation by May 2008.
I would welcome any suggestions you might have, or if you are able to point me to further sources of information.
Ian.

The Web Analyzer within BI 7.0 JAVA run time can go against XMLA datasources (eg: MS Analysis Services) configured within EP system.
Visual Composer available within Ep 7 can go against any JDBC sources (Web Analyzer will have this functionality in the future.).

ESS - Creating a Front End Selection Screen, that accesses SAP T-code

Hi,
We have an ESS Portal in our company.
I have been given the following request:
For a specific transaction, create a selection screen in the portal that would be a modified version of the selection screen that exists in the SAP system.
From this front-end in the selection screen, the specific transaction within the SAP system would be accessed.
How is this done? What do I need to know about the overall process?
Please help.
Thanks,
John

Just to clarify,
Create the transaction and selection screen in the SAP system.
Then ask the Portal team to create an iView for this transaction.
What if I need to say get the Internal SAP employee number from the user's sign on information?
Thanks,
John
