Integration of OrgPublisher with SAP Portal

Hi,
I have an issue of integrating an organizational chart published by OrgPublisher in html-format into the SAP Portal using SAP HR Interface for Organizational Charting (HR-OCI) 6.0 (SAP ERP2005 and EP 7.0).
I start with configuration of URL iviews for several organizational charts displaying different organizational levels. Charts are published by OrgPublisher in html-format.
Then I would like to use HR-OCI with its Organizational Chart Launcher to launch the relevant URL iView with a relevant organizational chart depending on selected organizational unit (context-sensitive display). I tried this with SAP-provided Organizational Chart Tester iView and it works fine.
According to the SAP HR-OCI configuration guide the Organizational Chart Launcher uses a set of URL parameters that are passed to the receiving application displaying the chart.
My issue is how I can pass those parameters to the relevant OrgPublisher organizational charts published as html-files in order to obtain context-sensitive chart selection.
Best regards,
Beata

Hello Beata,
We have SAP ERP 6.0 . For some reason we don't see the new function module. Do you the reason . Pl help

How to print Crystal Report within SAP Portal iView?

Hi All,
We are using BOEJ XI 3.0 with integration with SAP NetWeaver Portal. We are having a problem with printing a Crystal Report.
- We use the SAP iView to run a Crystal Report.
- Once the report is completed, we want to click on Print to send the report to a printer e.g. default printer.
- Then a screen pops up and nothing gets printed.
It seems the print control is not being transferred.
Has anyone had this problem and what the resolution is?
Thanks,
Garry

Hi Ingo,
Thank you for your response. I have just got off the phone with SAP. I was given two options.
- Install ActiveX control on user's PC
- Or set the user preference to use PDF in InfoView.
Both options seem to work. Now it is the question of security on using ActiveX. If this is the concern, then one can use the PDF option.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Garry

Integrating Crystal reports with Java Portal (test=pluto,Prod=Vignette

Hi,
Crystal reports is new to me...so please don't mind if i sound outright silly, and would love a shove in the correct direction.
This question might have been asked here (I tried searching for this.)
Problem: We have some old CR9 reports with us which we want to migrate to our Portal installation Vignette Portal.
I have seen some Portal integration kits but after having a look at them it seems it is ir-relevant to us...as it requires some server running...we don't have that.

Update:
After more investigation, it looks as if the BO Server "CrystalReports2013ReportApplicationServer"
from time to time has an issue - not only when promoting, but also when viewing publications that contain Crystal Report documents or when executing them, the java class error or similar issue is thrown.
Did sb face similar behaviour and knows what is the root cause for "CrystalReports2013ReportApplicationServer" not working probably and throwing the java-class error? - it was running fine for several months, now, the class error showed up twice in one month.
We need to find out what is causing the issue (aleady checked tomcat and BO-logfiles...).
Best Regards
Florian

WEBI reports integration with SAP portal

Hello BO experts-
Our client is looking to integrate WEBI reports with SAP portal. I found some documents which describe about have an url iview.
I just want to find out if it is possible to federate webi server with SAP portal.
Thanks,
Sharath.

I don't think you can federate WebI server with SAP portal.
You can use WebI report IDs and integrate with Portal.

Performance issue of BI Reports in SAP Enterprise portal -in SAPNW2004s

Dear friends,
We are integrating BI Reports in SAP Enterprise Portal 7.0 ( SAP NW- 2004s).The reports are running properly .But the issue here is reports are taking long time to open and leading it to performance effect.
Reports in BEX( Bi side) working lilttle better than EP platform.
And Even BI team is looking for ways to improve the performance.
Could you please share your ideas to implement in portal side to increase the performance.
Thanks and Regards
Ratnakar Reddy

Hello Mr. Reddy,
There are two possibilities for slow performance in BW reports, so we need to look into wether its slow in the BW system or at the frontend.
If the problem resides in the BW system then we should be able to trace the reports
and you can go for a SAP EW or GV sessin and SAP will provide recommendations.
If the problem resides at the frontend
Update the frontend servers to the latest frontend release.
Recommended Frontend Release 700
Recommended Frontend Patch 18
Update the frontend servers to the lates SAP GUI release as soon as possible.
Minimum Recommended SAP GUI Release 6.40
Your frontend PCs should fulfill the following requirements:
Each frontend PC should have 500 MHz and 128 MB main memory.
Because of a limit in the addressable memory, Windows 95 is not supported as Frontend OS for 3.X BW Systems. Please refer to SAP Notes 161993, 321973 and 366626 for details.
Please also check SAP Note 147519 "Maintenance strategy/ deadlines 'SAPGUI'".
If you still require any assistance from SAP support then raise a message under component ( probably BW-BEX-ET-WEB).
Provide your input, if you have any.
Thank you,
Tilak

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.

Integration of SAP Portal with Shibboleth based CUA?

We are running SAP Portal NetWeaver EhP1 on LINUX RH-EL 5 with ORACLE 10.2.0.4. We are interested in integrating authentication to the SAP Portal with our web single sign-on system, which is based on Internet2's Shibboleth software. We would like to use our Shibboleth CUA to authenticate users and give them access to our SAP Enterprise Portal as well as to the SAP ABAP systems.
Has anyone done something similar and if so, what were the results or limitations encountered?
What is the underlying web server / product on which the Portal is based? Specifically, is it Apache httpd? If so, which version?
Can it support the use of third party Apache modules, e.g. the Shibboleth Service Provider (SP) Apache module for authentication?
If not, is it possible to run the portal fronted by Apache httpd? (Note that the Shibboleth SP software requires the use of Apache httpd on Linux servers.)
Can the portal be configured to honor the REMOTE_USER setting passed by the web server/container for authentication, instead of requiring a username/password to be entered?
If the portal cannot support the use of the Shibboleth Service Provider software for authentication, what are the other possible configuration options for authentication (besides username/password)?
What support, if any, is there for SAML-based authentication?
Will the portal interoperate with a Shibboleth Identity Provider (IdP)? Can you point us at documentation for this?
Thank-you,
Deb Nugent

Hi,
interesting questions. Portal is running on top of Netweaver platform (Java stack). Hence no Apache web server. I doubt that it supports any Apache modules. You can use Apache as reversed proxy in front of SAP portal. Check note 480520 with attached configuration guide. I don't know answer for your question regarding REMOTE_USER setting.
SAP portal supports all standard [authentication methods|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/8a/cb136e68592f478266d19bb2b89766/frameset.htm] supported by Netweaver. Probably the only possible way is to use [SAML|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/94/695b3ebd564644e10000000a114084/frameset.htm]. [Here|http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/tivoli/library/t-cssosap/index.html] is a how-to guide how to set up SSO based on SAML between Tivoli and Netweaver applicaiton server.
Also search on net. I found links to interesting presentations (e.g. [this one|http://www.switch.ch/aai/support/presentations/ws-sap-2010/ETHZ_AAI_SAP_SAML_Artifact.pdf]).
Cheers
