Running Discoverer reports into portal using SSO portal login - help

Hi,
I am trying to run disco reports into oracle portal using discoverer portlet providers -list of worksheet. What I want to achieve is as follows
1) login to portal using SSO userid /pwd - Done
2) Enable discoverer for SSO - Done
*3) Use discoverer list of worksheets to show reports into portal but want to filter the list of worksheet to currently logged in portal user. This so that users looged in only sees the reports to which they have access in discoverer - Need Help*
*4) Once user runs this report then I want to filter the discoverer data based on users login or portal group - Help*
Can someone please help with issue no 3/4 urgently.
Mant thanks
Ganesh

Hi Michael,
Assuming I have created the private connections using CAPI I still have my doubts as follows
Do I have to then login as each portal user and add the list of worksheet portlet for each user and selecting
"check the box called Display a different list of worksheets by allowing users to customize database connection and then check Show a default list of worksheets using connection, changing the connection to user's connection."
Considering we have 500+ users this will be huge cumbersom task for me.
Also when I tried to do this before loggin as each portal user when I logged in as second portal user I could see the list of worksheet portalet added by the first user which means I have to edit it but even that was not possible because it would not let me edit as only the page own whi created the portlet was allowed to edit (that is the first user)
OR
Do you have to give portal user permission to edit the page so that they can log on themselve to add the list of worksheet portlet on the page by selecting their private connection and selecting
"check the box called Display a different list of worksheets by allowing users to customize database connection and then check Show a default list of worksheets using connection, changing the connection to user's connection."
Finally I know someone has made it work using URL links and it works as follows
1) Map the portal and disco user into a table
2) Create disco private connections
3) when portal user loggs in and click on "Show my discoverer report" it then runs a PL/SQL package which in turn identifies the private connection details and creates a URL out of it as follows
[http://portal.ccm.ac.uk/discoverer/app/partialConnect?password=IRTIMUDV123_=qplus=VDUMITRI=browser_selected=connect=RELATIONAL=QPRIS=viewer]
clicking on this link open discoverer with private list of workbook/worksheet.
Please advise which way should I follow.
Thanks

Access Denied while integrating WD appl into Portal

Hi all,
I have created one appl in WD that can access details from R/3. Whenever I run the appl, the data is automatically populated from R/3 into dropdown list. It is working fine in my NWDS.
I have integrated this appl in to Enterprise Portal. Now when i execute that appl, I am getting
'Access Denied error'. (The data is not poulating into my dropdown list).
But I have integrated the FlightList appl, into Enterprise Portal, which is working fine.
Is there any settings/configurations needs to be done before integrating my appl into EP?
Thanks&regards,
Ganesh

Hi,
For the Web Dynpro application which fetches data from R/3 system, you have to establish JCO destionation in Portal->Content Administration->Web Dynpro. Open you application from the portal content list in the left panel. In the right check for the JCO connection. If not existing, create JCO with the required credentials of the R/3 system, like client, message server, userid/pwd or Ticket, userid, password. After testing/ping is successful, your application will work fine in the portal.

Integrating crystal report into the visual studio standard edition IDE

I have visual studio 2005 standard edition. I need to upgrade some asp.net reports that were done using visual studio 2003.
I have just install Crystal Reports XI developer edition version 11.0.0.1282. How can I integrate Crystal into the Visual Studio 2005 IDE?

Hi
I would like to inform you that VS 2005 is only compatible with CR XI R2 and CR 2008.
Have look in supported platform guide:
https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/bosap-support
You need to upgrade CRXI to CRXIR2 then try to solve this issue.
To download the CR XI R2 follow the instructions given below:-
Crystal Reports XI is installed on your computer. You need to manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI for one of the following reasons:
u2022 To verify that all Crystal Reports XI components have been completely removed prior to installing a later version of Crystal Reports.
u2022 To remove the remaining Crystal Reports XI components that have not been removed using the 'Add/Remove Programs' command (Start > Settings > Control Panel).
u2022 To remove the remaining Crystal Reports XI components that have not been removed using the Setup.exe file from Crystal Reports XI installation CD.
How do you manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI?
Resolution
Before getting started, uninstall Crystal Reports XI by launching the Setup.exe file from the installation CD or by using the 'Add/Remove Programs' command. If either of these methods fails to remove all Crystal Reports directories, files and registry keys, then continue with the resolution of this article.
==========
WARNING:
This resolution can be applied if Crystal Reports XI is the only software installed on the computer that uses the Business Objects directories, files and registry keys.
For example, Crystal Analysis, Crystal Enterprise and BusinessObjects Enterprise XI are applications that may share the same directories, files and registry keys.
Removing these directories, files and registry keys may cause other software to function incorrectly.
==========
1. To manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI, delete the following directories:
u2022 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0
u2022 C:\Program Files\Business Objects
====================
NOTE:
Do not remove the directory C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0 if you have BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or Crystal Reports Server XI installed. These files are shared by both applications and removal of these files will cause Business ObjectsEnterprise XI and Crystal Reports Server XI to function incorrectly.
====================
2. Delete the following registry keys:
====================
WARNING:
The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk.
HELP:
For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys And Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
RECOMMENDATION:
It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat on Win9x computers) before you edit the registry.
====================
u2022 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects
u2022 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects
u2022 HKEY_USERS\S-#-#-##-...-####\Software\Business Objects
(The number signs (#) represent a series of numbers that are different on each computer.)
====================
NOTE:
After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.
After deleting the CR XI from the system install the CR XI R2 full build and provide the same key as you provided in CR XI.
URL to download CR XI R2 is: - http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp#CRXIR2
Click on
Service Pack 2 - Full build - ZIP - 1.03 GB - released April 2007
I would suggest to use the latest service pack of CR XI R2 i.e. Service Pack 4.
to download SP4 click [here|http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp#CRXIR2].
Note:- before installing SP4 - you must have installed CR XI R2 SP2
Hope this helps!!

Discoverer viewer in portal or Drill to detail in Disco report in Portal

Hi
Is it possible to embed discoverer viewer into Portal page. I know one way, I can achieve this in older versions by using <IFRAME src="worksheet url"></iframe> as HTML portlet. But, the problem here is that, our Discoverer viewer is SSO protected. So,I don't want user to single sign on again, as they have already have done that when they got into portal.
My second question is , I have developed Page-Detail report in Disco plus, also I have Drill to Detail in the same report. Drill to Detail is created using "Manage Link" option. When I deploy this report into Portal using Disco Portlet provider, firstly in portal it is not showing the Page Item, also the Drill through link also is not showing.
Any help on the above questions would be greatly helpful.
Thanks
Balaji

Hi
Firstly thank you very much for your response.
The Disco report I have is a Discoverer Plus report with Drill to Detail to another workbook(developed through manage link). But this Drillable link is not showing in the published Disco portlet. Are you saying that it should in the published disco portlet? .. As posted in previous response , I know this would work from Analyze link(which basically lauches viewer)..
But users would like to see this drillable link in the report in portal page itself(which means on the published portlet itself). To achieve this only, I used Iframes in Html portlet and showing the Discoverer viewer url. It works fine, but only thing is each time user naviges to portal page, it executes the report which takes some time. I am trying to avoid the execution process. I think one solution is I can just schdule these Disco reports and that way it will not query the database each time. I was wondering if there is any other solution maybe I am missing
Thanks
Balaji

Hi Edward,
Can you clarify on your statement "You can run 3.x queries normally". I am currently declaring the bex web application string in the BW iview created in this format "infocube=0D_FI_C01&query=0D_FI_C01_Q001" and i am not defining the report template anywhere in the iview properties but still the standard template is displayed.
Pls let me know how to run 3.x queries normally.
Also i am trying to integrate only reports which are developed for BW 3.x format in BI system but still the data is not displayed.
Pls let me know incase the SP level of both EP and BI portal are to be considered for this.
EP 7 portal is on SP9 where as BI 7 is on sp12.
Also i noticed the EP portal doesn't have BI Java Addon. will this matter for displaying reports in BW 3.x format.
As you suggested workaround i tried to create a url iviews directly taking the links from the reports displayed in BI portal , i was able to preview the report but when i added those iview reports to role, the reports are constantly loading as it is trying to contact BI system. There are being loaded constantly with nothing displayed on screen.
