Log on to the portal

Hi
I have installed the Portal 6.0 SP2 (version is 6.0.2.4.1.Enterprise_Portal_Service_Pack_2 and Operating system is Windows 2000)
I have created a user to login to the portal (I have disabled the user SAP*) and I can login to the portal with my new user.
The problem is that I cannot login to the portal if I try through another PC that is connected to the network. I can see the initial login page of the portal but when I type the ID and password I don't get logged in (it redirects me to the same page)!!! If I try to give wrong ID or password I get an authentication error!!
I don't think it a network problem as I can see the initial login page of the portal.
Any ideas?
Regards
Dimitris

HI Dimitris,
We are running EP 6 SP10 and encountering the same error. Our Portal URL is working on a few machines but on some machines it keeps loading the first page. Also observed the same on different machines but same users.
Could you tell us what kind of DNS configuration did you do to correct this behavior?
Thanks,

Unable to log in to the portal - missing Directory Service?

Hi!
I'm unable to log in to the Management Portal, getting this error message:
"We are having trouble logging you into the portal. Your subscription does not have an associated directory and this is preventing us from logging you in. Please contact support."
I've tried to call Microsoft regarding this issue, each of the four times I was routed forward, given phone-numbers for Azure support and redirected, each call ended with basically the same reply "uuhhh... I don't support Azure, sir, and I don't know
how to help you..." - Microsoft needs to inform their frontline people better!
Anyways, at some point I was told that I have to "file a ticket" in the Azure support forums, and that a representative will call me up after. So here is the ticket, and I'm anxiously awaiting a reply.
In case I'm not clear - I have an urgent need to access the portal, as I need to put some more assets in there, aka *you're losing money, Microsoft!* (maybe that'll get your attention.. ;) )
Thanks in advance,
Thomas Qvidahl, supporter and fan of Azure, though faith is waning..

Control the number of users logging in to the portal

Hello,
Is there any way to control the number of users logging in to the portal?
Issue: We need to limit the users logging in Per Company (Access key).
I read about the Activity Reporting in NW, and that would show us the stats, but does not let us control the logins. I read all the forum posts on SDN about this topic, they were helpful, but none addressed our needs.
Has anyone implemented such functionality? If we need a write a custom service or component to accomplish this, then which APIs should I be looking at?
Our Portal Version: We are currently on EP6 SP2 PL 35, and in process of moving to NW.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Harman

Thanks for the replies, here's a little more info...
We're working on project which allows a company to buy user licenses to access our portal. So if a company has bought 5 licenses, the 6th user for that company will not be able to login.
*Note: We treat each Access Key in the portal as a company.
The way we determine if the user belongs to a company is by the AccessKey that is assigned to that user. We're not depending on IP addresses at all.
Hope this clears the issue !
I think we'll have to write some custom code to accomplish this.
Thanks,
harman

Need a way to find out users who have not all logged in into the portal

Hi all,
Please can some body tell me the way to find out all the users who have not at all logged in into the SAP enterprise portal after their user ID's are created.
Are there any methods(UME APIs) or attributes that set the status of user whether he/she has logged in into the portal first time.
Thanks & Regards,
Hajira Rehman

There used to be a way, but here's what Detlev posted earlier this year:
<b>Hi everyone,
UPDATE on this: From SP16 on, the last successful login date does not get logged into the database anymore, see <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/bc6b9202454dece10000000a422035/frameset.htm">here</a> - for performance reasons, as it is stated...
Hope it helps not to fall into this new trap
Detlev</b>
So, there are no simple APIs - you'll need to build your own mechanism.

How to track the existing logged user on the portal

Hi
I am using portal 3.0.9.8.1.
From time to time , I am stopping the Oracle http server for the
purpose of deploying new servlet class/jar files in its
configuration files.
My question is "How to define/track the list of users who are
currently accessing the portal"?
In my portal configuration, I setup up the life cycle of new
session id for 15 minutes so it is assumed that I should get
only the list of active users (< 15 minutes) !!!
thanks in advance

Hi
First of all, thanks for your reply.
I issue a simple SQL Statement as follows :
select count(*) from wwlog_activity_logs;
It generates for me around 1300 rows!!!! Is it normal?
Currently, the portal is used only for intranet purposes and the
number of users is only 5?
How the portal is updating this table? is is a historic table?
Can I delete the content of this table at any time?
Thanks in advance for your feeback

How to get the dates a user has logged into the portal??

I need to know all the times and the dates a user has loggin to the portal? Do you know any way to do this? I was trying to use "successfullogoncount" from UME_STRING of the PCD database but it doesn't say anything about the dates. I also try to use "lastsuccessfulllogon" from the sama table but, as the name says, it just give me the last date of logon... Please help!!!

Hi Pablo,
probably you could work with Portal activity reports.
This can generate reports on activity in the portal, either reports on how many users were logged on to the portal or reports on the most popular pages and iViews.
look out on this weblog at
https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/weblogs.sdn?blog=/pub/wlg/1242. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
From this you can know which user has logged on at which date and time.
If you are not looking for Portal activity reports try this:
You can get this information in the Visual Administrator of the J2EE Engine.
Goto Security Provider Service -> Runtime -> Login (Sessions).
This would return a table showing the users along with the logging in start date&time, (if logged out) log out date&time, user-Ids, etc.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Uma.

I Cannot log in to the Azure Portal

When I attempt to log into the Azure portal I receive this error
We are having trouble logging you into the portal
The URL of the page is:
https://manage.windowsazure.com/Error/Login?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217320
I have deleted my cookies, I have tried different browsers, and I have tried on both Win7 and Win8. I get the same error.
I have an Azure tech support contract but it does me little good since I have to log in to the Azure portal to open a ticket.
I've tried calling my country's support number on
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers but could not explain my situation as they didn't even know Azure was a Microsoft product. I went through 2 phone queues, was transferred to a 3rd and then the line went dead.
I've went to http://support.microsoft.com/oas but all it does is redirect me to the Portal login page.

hi Christopher,
Thanks for posting!
Do you use the azure account to log in? Please make sure your account is right firstly and refer to this account article(http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazure/archive/2011/05/23/fraud-prevention-measure-for-new-windows-azure-platform-accounts.aspx ).
Did you use it normally before?

Error when loggin on to the portal

Hello all,
I am new to the portal and I need your help to figure out a proble I have. When I log on to the portal I get the following error message on some of the tabs (not all):
No user mapping defined for system SAP_WebDynpro_XSS
When I get this message I am prompted to enter user ID and password.
Does anybody know what I am missing or how to solve this problem?
Thank you,
Enrique

Well,
You have a system with alias SAP_WebDynpro_XSS which is used to show you were webdynpro applications for ESS/MSS are.
This system is setup with authentication user mapping, but most probably the SAP_WebDynpro_XSS is running on the same portal, and it should have been SAP logon Ticket.
So either
1) Go and setup a usermapping for alias SAP_WebDynpro_XSS, should probably be your portal username/password, or the username/password of the system hosting the webdynpros (do this under useradministration user mapping)
2) Change Logon method the system with alias
SAP_WebDynpro_XSS from user mapping to SAP logon ticket

Report taking too much time in the portal

Hi freiends,
we have developed a report on the ods,and we publish the same on the portal.
the problem is when the users are executing the report at the same time it is taking too much time.because of this the perfoemance is very poor.
is there any way to sort out this issue,like can we send the report to the individual user's mail id
so that they can not log in to the portal
or can we create the same report on the cube.
what could be the main difference if the report made on the cube or ods?
please help me
thanks in advance

Hi
Try this to improve performance of query
Find the query Run-time
where to find the query Run-time ?
557870 'FAQ BW Query Performance'
130696 - Performance trace in BW
This info may be helpful.
General tips
Using aggregates and compression.
Using less and complex cell definitions if possible.
1. Avoid using too many nav. attr
2. Avoid RKF and CKF
3. Many chars in row.
By using T-codes ST03 or ST03N
Go to transaction ST03 > switch to expert mode > from left side menu > and there in system load history and distribution for a particular day > check query execution time.
/people/andreas.vogel/blog/2007/04/08/statistical-records-part-4-how-to-read-st03n-datasets-from-db-in-nw2004
/people/andreas.vogel/blog/2007/03/16/how-to-read-st03n-datasets-from-db
Try table rsddstats to get the statistics
Using cache memory will decrease the loading time of the report.
Run reporting agent at night and sending results to email. This will ensure use of OLAP cache. So later report execution will retrieve the result faster from the OLAP cache.
Also try
1. Use different parameters in ST03 to see the two important parameters aggregation ratio and records transferred to F/E to DB selected.
2. Use the program SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS (Performance of BW infocubes) to see the aggregation ratio for the cube. If the cube does not appear in the list of this report, try to run RSRV checks on the cube and aggregates.
Go to SE38 > Run the program SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS
It will shown dimension Vs Fact tables Size in percent.If you mean speed of queries on a cube as performance metric of cube,measure query runtime.
3. To check the performance of the aggregates,see the columns valuation and usage in aggregates.
Open the Aggregates...and observe VALUATION and USAGE columns.
"---" sign is the valuation of the aggregate. You can say -3 is the valuation of the aggregate design and usage. ++ means that its compression is good and access is also more (in effect, performance is good). If you check its compression ratio, it must be good. -- means the compression ratio is not so good and access is also not so good (performance is not so good).The more is the positives...more is useful the aggregate and more it satisfies the number of queries. The greater the number of minus signs, the worse the evaluation of the aggregate. The larger the number of plus signs, the better the evaluation of the aggregate.
if "-----" then it means it just an overhead. Aggregate can potentially be deleted and "+++++" means Aggregate is potentially very useful.
In valuation column,if there are more positive sign it means that the aggregate performance is good and it is useful to have this aggregate.But if it has more negative sign it means we need not better use that aggregate.
In usage column,we will come to know how far the aggregate has been used in query.
Thus we can check the performance of the aggregate.
Refer.

performance ISSUE related to AGGREGATE
Note 356732 - Performance Tuning for Queries with Aggregates
Note 166433 - Options for finding aggregates (find optimal aggregates for an InfoCube)
4. Run your query in RSRT and run the query in the debug mode. Select "Display Aggregates Found" and "Do not use cache" in the debug mode. This will tell you if it hit any aggregates while running. If it does not show any aggregates, you might want to redesign your aggregates for the query.
Also your query performance can depend upon criteria and since you have given selection only on one infoprovider...just check if you are selecting huge amount of data in the report
Check for the query read mode in RSRT.(whether its A,X or H)..advisable read mode is X.
5. In BI 7 statistics need to be activated for ST03 and BI admin cockpit to work.
By implementing BW Statistics Business Content - you need to install, feed data and through ready made reports which for analysis.

You can go to T-Code DB20 which gives you all the performance related information like
Partitions
Databases
Schemas
Buffer Pools
Tablespaces etc
use tool RSDDK_CHECK_AGGREGATE in se38 to check for the corrupt aggregates
If aggregates contain incorrect data, you must regenerate them.
202469 - Using aggregate check tool
Note 646402 - Programs for checking aggregates (as of BW 3.0B SP15)
You can find out whether an aggregate is usefull or useless you can find out through a proccess of checking the tables RSDDSTATAGGRDEF*
Run the query in RSRT with statistics execute and come back you will get STATUID... copy this and check in the table...
This gives you exactly which infoobjects it's hitting, if any one of the object is missing it's useless aggregate.

Check SE11 > table RSDDAGGRDIR . You can find the last callup in the table.
