Integrating Portal and BI Systems

Hi All,
I am having an error on integrating Portal and BI systems. In Portal, when i navigate to the respective iview, i am being asked for my user name and password in a popup box (for the Web As server of the portal). After entering my password thrice, i get this error message.
Logon failed
What has happened?
Call of URL http://xxxx.yyyy.com:####/sap/bw/BEx terminated due to error in logon data.
Note
Logon performed in system XXX.
Logon performed for client 400, user DDIC, and language EN.
What can I do?
Check that you have entered the client, user, and password correctly.
If you do not yet have a user ID, contact your system administrator.
Error Code: ICF-LE-http-c:400-l:E-T:21-C:3-U:35-P:35-L:3
HTTP 401 - Unauthorized
Your SAP Internet Communication Framework Team
I entered the User ID and password for my portal server. i have a different user id and password in BI server. Please help
Best Regards,
Mazin

Hi,
That is incorrect. You have to enter BI user name and password. To avoid this popup, make sure user mapping is done for the BI system (with BI user name and password). You can also check these links for details.

SRM One Client + Portal and MDM system on top of SAP EHP4 system

Hi!
we successfully upgraded SAP ERP 6.0 system to SAP EHP4.
Now we would like to extend the functionality by adding the following components:
- SRM One Client
- Portal and MDM
Question:
1) Can some one explain the procedure to do this?
2 Where can I find the Installation files and documentation?
Any helpful information will be very appreciated

Hi!
Thank you very much for your response!!
My actual situation:
I have a EHP4 for SAP ERP which has only ABAP stack.
Questions
1) Should/must I install a Java-Add In Instance?
a) Is it possible to install a Java Add In Instance for EHP4 ERP system or do I need only a extra/new Windows server for this?
b) what are the must usage scenarios I have to choose for the Java installation (Portal, MDM, PI)?
2) what is the exact installation sequence (SRM One Client, SRM MDM, NW Portal)?
Thank you very much!

How to create a connection between EP-Portal and BW system

Hi friends ,
Can you pl expalin me How ro connect EP to BW ,I have created an Iview in the portal to get some BW data using BSP application .How to assign Iview to system object ? and what are parameters i need to give in the system object .
Thanks,
Sunitha Reddy

Probably better asked in the PORTAL forum. But anyways...
Create iView for BI.
Assign BI iView the ALIAS of your BI system (this assumes you created a BI system object previously and assigned it an alias)
Just that easy.
If you are on BI 7, then your BI might have it's own portal and you can create a federated portal network between BI and your portal. It works GREAT and is easy as cake.

Integrating Portal and PPM

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to integrate PPM's web dynpro abap applications in Portal. My basis team has setup everything regarding SSO and it works OK.
When i define a WDA Iview, I set the following properties (as any standard WDA):
Namespace: sap
Application Name: inm_workcenter_app (this is the WDA that shows Project & Portfolio Management)
System: SAPPPM
Everything works perfect and the WDA is displayed in the iview.
That iview shows a list of the available projects, and when you click one of them, it opens a new window showing the project's detail.
The thing is, that when the new window tries to open, it shows an error that is logged in Portal's default trace as follows:
Caused by: com.sapportals.portal.prt.runtime.PortalRuntimeException: Exception in SAP Application Integrator occured: Unable to parse template &\#39;<System.Access.WAS.protocol>://<System.Access.WAS.hostname>/sap/bc/webdynpro/<WebDynproNamespace>/<WebDynproApplication>/;sap-ext-sid=<ESID[url_ENCODE]>?sap-ep-iviewhandle=007<ESID[HASH]>&sap-wd-configId=<WebDynproConfiguration>&sap-ep-iviewid=<IView.ShortID>&sap-ep-pcdunit=<IView.PCDUnit.ShortID>&sap-client=<System.client>&sap-language=<Request.Language>&sap-accessibility=<User.Accessibility[SAP_BOOL]>&sap-rtl=<LAF.RightToLeft[SAP_BOOL]>&sap-ep-version=<Portal.Version[url_ENCODE]>&sap-wd-tstamp=<$TimeStamp>&<ProducerInfo>&sap-explanation=<User.Explanation[SAP_BOOL]>&<StylesheetIntegration[IF_true PROCESS_RECURSIVE]>&<Authentication>&<DynamicParameter[PROCESS_RECURSIVE]>&<ForwardParameters[QUERYSTRING]>&<ApplicationParameter[PROCESS_RECURSIVE]>&\#39;; the problem occured at position 310. *Cannot process expression <System.client> because Invalid System Attribute:*

I cannot figure out why it's fetching for the alias SAP_LocalSystem because i set up SAPPPM as System in mi iview.
Could anyone please help me?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Fede

Hi,
Since it's a WDA application can you try running the app from Backend system SE80 and see if it works?
I assume when running the application from Portal it uses Object Based Navigation(OBN) to navigate and open the details in new window.
Within the application there will be code to call the page, make sure you are using the same System Alias within the application and also see the OBN is setup properly.
Can you also verify if the Standard Application from the Business Package works fine.

Integrating MDMP and Unicode systems with IDoc interfaces

Hi,
We are working on integrating SAP R/3 6.20 (MDMP) with SAP PI 7.0 SP10 (Unicode) system. The source will send MATMAS or CLFMAS IDocs with Thai / Japanese characters and PI should transform and post it to SAP ECC 5.0 Target system [IDoc to IDoc scenario].
( SAP R/3 Legacy 620 - Non-Unicode / MDMP ) |----> ( XI - Unicode) -> (ECC - Unicode)
Had a look at few SAP notes (745030 ,656350 and 613389) and it looks like there is no standard way/best practice to handle this scenario.
References:
1.PDF of TECHED Session ID: IM101 Dealing with Multi-Language Garbage?Data Lessons Learned
2.SAP Note 745030 - MDMP - Unicode Interface_Solution Overview.pdf
3.MDMP_Unicode_Transfer_final.doc from SAP Note 745030
4.SAP Note 656350 - Master Data Transfer UNICODE to MDMP Systems with ALE.pdf
5.SAP Note 613389 - ALE SAP system group with Unicode systems (Solution-2)
My understanding per SAP Notes: (Please correct me if I'm wrong)
a. For MDMP integraton we can't use Standard ALE Config instead we have to use Custom Configuration (IDoc collection setting in Partner profile &Scheduling RSEOUT002/RSEOUT00_MDMP and use Function module :IDOC_INBOUND_ASYNCHRONOUS_2 ).
b. The RFC Destinations should use proper logon langauage for correct MDMP IDoc transfer (For sending IDocs with Japanese character, the logon language should be JP).
c. If we want to transfer IDocs in more than one language we need to create multiple Partner profiles/RFC destinations each with specific logon language.
Please guide us in integrating these systems if you have done a similar integrations, following are my questions:
1] Is there any configuration change required at PI layer?
2] Do we need to install codepages in PI Unicode system for all languages used or Unicode system is capable of handling all the languages?
3] Is it necessary to install any SAP Add-on package in R/3 MDMP system inorder to support MDMP to Unicode data transfer?
3] If we want to send MATMAS/CLFMAS IDoc with Thai/Japanese characters from same system, what are the changes required at the Source system?
(Source may send MATMAS/CLFMAS IDoc with either Thai/Japanese characters but not both of them in a single IDoc)
4] Can we use regualr ALE & Partner profile settings for handling multi-byte characters or we need to use IDoc collection and RSEOUT002/RSEOUT00_MDMP report for transfer?
5] Is there any restrictions on the IDoc types (MATMAS,CLFMAS etc) supported in MDMP-Unicode integration solution.
5] Is there any best practice document available for this scenario?
6] Do we need to involve SAP AG for MDMP to Unicode system integrations(As per SAP Note: 656350) ?
Thanks and Regards,
Ananth

Hi Ananth,
as you have already mentioned, you need differents RFC destinations for each language. So you have to make sure, that the IDocs use the right destination according to there content.
If you have messages from PI to MDMP it is the same, you need different channels with different logon languages as well. You need an identifier in the message, that can be used for selecting the correct channel.
It should not be a restricting to any IDoc type, but it is not possible to post a message with different languages (which require different codepages) in one IDoc.
For correct conversion from a non unicode system to unicode, the codepages have to be installed in th OS of the PI server.

Stefan

Relationship between Portal and back-end roles in business package

Hi all,
I wonder how technically works on the backend system when I install a BP for SAP EP. Let's say for example that I installed on the portal the business package for SRM. I will have on the Portal some roles configured (buyer, supplier, invoice manager, etc), and some iviews in them organized by pages and workest.
How can I see the relations with those roles and the roles on the SRM backend system? And then: if I modify a standard role on the Portal, adding new functionalites (iviews), I do update the backend role? We are going to implement SSO, and users will be the same on Portal and backend system. But that also means I need to assign users to backend roles on the backend system, isn't it?
I would be glad to you if someone can provide me also a link to a document explaining the relationshipe between backend roles management and portal roles management.
Thanks a lot,
Valentina

To add.. no, you will not update a backend SRM role if you update an iView on the Portal. The Backend roles will always be assigned to the user via PFCG and do not change automatically with the Portal roles.
This help document might help you understand the concept better (Look at the Permissions vs Authorisations section):
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c605c690-0201-0010-e8b5-94677245a46b
Hope this helps. I am sure SAP/SDN library has many such documents that you can read through.

Portal and BW SSO on different domains

Hi Gurus,
we have portal and BW systems, Portal domain name is portal.abc.com and bw domain name is bw.xyz.com, can we do a SSO between these two systems, is there any concept of reverse proxy or something to acheive this?
Thanks in Advance.
Jo

duplicated one.... already you posted in "portal implementation".
There are many threads, blogs available in SDN for SSO b/w portal and BW.... for sample
Looking for a document in order to implement SSO between the portal and BW

Hi there,
Have you applied any patches to 9ias since it was first installed? We had the same problem and had to apply a couple of patches to get the portlets working.
1. Apply the 9.0.2.53.16 one-off patch for Oracle 9iAS Discoverer which takes Discoverer up to 9.0.2.53.16. This patch appears to be password protected and you need to get someone at Oracle support to give you a password.
2. Apply the Discoverer Portlet Provider: 9.0.2.53.00c patch (patch no. 2595444) which gives you a new discportal.xsl file that actually works. It's this second step that solves your problem but you need to do step 1 before this. This is password protected as well.
3. As you've upgraded Disco on the server to 9.0.2.53, you'll need to upgrade Disco Admin & Desktop within your 9iDS installation using patch no. 2555265. This is because Disco 9.0.2.53 uses an upgraded EUL that Disco Admin & Desktop need to be patched to use.
This was the course of action Oracle support advised us about nine months ago. Of course they may have released a further patch to Disco that does 1 & 2 in one go, but we regularly carry out steps 1 and 2 on servers we use and we can use the Disco portlets successfully.
Hope this helps

Role mapping between Portal and Back end systems

I am new to SAP EP.
I just want to know how the mapping between portal and back end system happens.
Scenario : There is a role in ECC system...say FI India. Now there is a request by the FI team that they want to access this role from Portal. In this case, please tell me how the security team will do it. Because I guess, it has to be done by the security team.

Hi,
Usually the role from backend is uploaded to portal then it will be seen as Group and we need to assign our portal roles to this group. Please refer [this|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/d6/7859ec80df46738e23ccb4f4c8c502/content.htm].

How to add similar systems in SMSY: BI Portal and NW Portal?

Hi All
I am trying to add our BI Portal in transaction SMSY and assign it in our Solution Landscape, however I am having a few issues. Basically we also have a NW Portal 7 in out landscape aswell, and I cannot seem to add 2 Netweaver Portals. So here is where I am stuck:
Firstly the BI Portal (BBP) does appear in the Systems section in SMSY and I have configured the SLD Settings in the Visual Administrator. In Systems the BI Portal is listed as EP Core, Enterprise Portal, Search and Classif. (TREX), so when I go into: SYSTEM GROUPS AND LOGICAL COMPONENTS > SAP NETWEAVER > Enterprise Portal, I already have one logical component set to SAP NETWEAVER PORTAL SERVER (the NW Portal 7 (EPP)).
So , what I want to do is add another portal component (the BI Portal) and assign the various Dev, QA and PRD Systems and finally include it in the Solution Landscapes.
Does this make any sense to anyone and if it does can you let me know if I am doing this correctly or have I missed something vital.
Thanks in advance
Phil
PS: Will always award point for helpfull answers.

Hi Phil,
The Logical Component "SAP Netweaver Portal Server" is a supplied reference and should not be used.
You should create your own logical component based on a copy, typically identifying it in the customer name space by prefixing a Z_ to the logocal component name, into which you would populate the server/client info for the vaious system types.
Because the logical component "SAP Netweaver Portal Server" already exists, you cannot create it again.
This is why you are getting this error.

Paul

Post installation for Portal and errors for new system

I've recently installed a NW 7 based ABAPJAVA System with Portal Components (EPEP Core) on Windows + Oracle for demo.
1 ) Since, I am facing a lot of errors after the installation, I think I have missed to carry out some post-install steps. Can someone please suggest on the post-installation steps in some detail ??
2) When I try to open the newly installed portal using http://fqdn_host:50000/irj ; the browser shows some exception has occurred: However, I tried to restart the system (everything including db) as suggested in some of the other links and login went fine.
After I logged in to the portal (/irj) as j2ee_admin; I am trying to open Content Administration --> Portal Content OR System Administration -> Transport OR --> System Configuration etc ; but I am getting the error coded below::

Can someone please help me through this and let me know how did you draw your inference. Let me know if there is any other place that can give me more information / logs on the error.
Thanks,

Hi Jay,
Please check that server is Running but not able to open some application. I would suggest to check the Enviromental Variable for My Computer :-
- Database Enviromental variable is added or not under "user vairable for <UserID for Server Desktop>
- Check JAVA_HOME Enviromental variable is added or not under "System Variable'
Check at (My computer > Properties >> Advance >> Startup and Recovery >> Enviromental Variable >> System Variables/User varaible
Update your server IP address and host name in host file entry at (RUN > drivers > etc > host file) and check database server services (Run > Services.msc >> Start your database services manually and change prperties as automatic)
Then try to open portal URL http://<Host>:<Port>/irj/portal or http://<Host>:<Port>/index.html
Hope it helps
