Login to EP either with Alias name or user id.

Hi All,
We need to allow the users to login to the portal either with the user alias or userId.
We have installed portal on dual stack & UME is on ABAP stack. All user details are getting stored in ABAP data base .
I enabled login with alias by adding the option "LogonWithAlias" with the value "true" to the BasicPasswordLoginModule under 'BASIC" Authentication in the Security Provider service of the J2EE Engine Visual Administrator.
Now it allows the user to login only with the 'Alias'. I just need to know is there anyother parameter options to be added to allow the login with both alias and username.
Also tell me about the flags to be set.
Expecting your valuable inputs.
Thank You.
Regards,
Eben.

Hi Michael Shea ,
Thank you for your helpful replies. I am following that.
As you suggested, I have added "BasicPasswordLoginModule" twice with two set of options ( LogonWithAlias true&false) under " basic" Authentication template under SAP-j2ee Engine Policy Configuration.
What Flags are to be set ? Can you tell me the difference between OPTIONAL, SUFFICIENT, REQUIRED,REQUISITE Flags.
I have set as follows in the J2ee Visual Admin for the "BASIC" Authentication Template :
BasicPasswordLoginModule SUFFICIENT LogonWithAlias- true
BasicPasswordLoginModule REQUIRED LogonWithAlias- false
But still it is not allowing me to login with user alias.

DataExport with alias name

Hi,
I want to populate data in a relational table by using the essbase dataexport command. It is working fine. But I got some new requirement as follows--
1) I need to extract data with alias name (right now in relational table, member names are showing)
2) I need to rearrrange the column in some specific order (like, entity fist, then product dimension etc)
Is there any way around/possibilities to do the same? Have anybody face this before?
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards.

Hi,
I think you may be out of luck with the current options available with the DATAEXPORT command, at the moment it is quite restricted.
Cheers

Login scripts not running with AnyConnect NAM and ISE 1.2

I am using AnyConnect 3.1 NAM as my 802.1x supplicant for ISE 1.2. When users log in with EAP Chaining (User and Machine Auth), the login script seems hit or miss on if it runs to map their drives. If I uninstall the NAM client, they map drives every time. I would think that running a login script to map drives is a common scenario and I was wondering if anyone else using AnyConnect NAM was having similar issues or how they were dealing with it.

I have the same issue and I solve the issue with change these parameters.
1.- You must change on configuration profile "before user logon". I have 5 seconds
2.- You must change on configuration profile "port authentication Exception policy" and you must enable checkbox "enable port exceptions" and select "allow data traffic before authentication"
3.- You must enable in the option of interface Ethernet Intel on PC "Wait for link" this option It's in "configured advanced of Intel. You must select "on" in this option.
4.- (this recommendation it was by Cisco)
Active Direct GPO has a setting "Computer Configuration\Administrative
Templates\System\Logon\ Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" that
can be enabled to make the logon scripts wait till 802.1x authentication is completed.
With those changes the logon script run fine.

David.

Logon With Alias

Can someone tell how to change the LogonWithAlias option of the BasicPasswordLoginModule which is needed if you want to use the 'Alias' defined for the user id?
SAP help is quoted below:
Basic Authentication is an HTTP standard method to use for authentication, whereby the user provides a user ID and password for authentication. Per default, the SAP J2EE Engine uses Basic Authentication for applications that are set up to use basic or form authentication. The corresponding login module is BasicPasswordLoginModule.
You can configure the LogonWithAlias option of the BasicPasswordLoginModule to enable logon with an ABAP alias. The possible values for this option are true or false. The default value for this option is false. If you change this value to true, then entered usernames are regarded as ABAP aliases.

HiShekhar Shende ,
STEP-1: Create one user in ABAP System with Alias name.
STEP-2: Do below steps in Visual Admin.
1.Open the Visual Admin (VA) tool, login with administrator.
2.Go to Server 0 XXX(ex. 3_36825) --> Services -->Security Provider
3.Then go to right pane Runtime --> Policy Configurations --> Components --> ticket
4.Change the screen into edit mode and click on Modify button.
5.Then go to right pane select
BasicPasswordLoginModule REQUISITE {}
6.Enter the value in Option name as LogonWithAlias and value as TRUE then say ok.
STEP-3: login with Alias of R/3 User in portal

Shared Members Alias Names Need to be Deleted--Essabase Admin Console

The company I work for set up shared members with alias names. I need to get rid of the alias names so that they are linked to their proper stored members and take on those names. How do I do this without haveing to go to every contton-picking shared member and delete the alias name?
Thanks!

How to change the Existing alias with new alias name...MAXL SCRIPT

HI Experts
I need to change alias name of the existing member with new alias name.
please send me maxl code to change the alias name .
My thought is
1) Old alias should be replaced with new alias name .
2)There is one account that should be rolled out to another parent..these parents are already exsist
3) I need a MAXL Script to change the new alias name .
please suggest ASAP.
Thanks
USER

John
I heard that we can replace existing alias name with new alias thru MAXL
i.e replace alias name XXXX member with YYYY ;
please correct me if iam wrong ,might be Maxl command is wrong but this is the idea.
Thanks

Issue with Column Alias Name in a SELECT statement

I am trying to run sql query(IN ORACLE) to get the data from a remote database(TERADATA). The query is
select (table1.exp_date - table1.setup_date) AS day_diff,
CASE
WHEN day_diff = '0'
THEN 'YES'
WHEN day_diff > '0'
THEN 'NO'
ELSE 'Unknown'
END AS alias_type
from table1@remote_database_name;
The query is running fine when I run it in TERADATA environment directly without the remote database link since it is not necessary. If I run the above query in Oracle I am getting an error ORA-00904: invalid identifier.(this error is pointing to day_diff alias name)
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

The Column alias can be used in the ORDER BY clause, but not other clauses,like WHERE clause, in the query.
Use..
select (table1.exp_date - table1.setup_date) AS day_diff,
CASE
WHEN (table1.exp_date - table1.setup_date) = '0'
THEN 'YES'
WHEN (table1.exp_date - table1.setup_date) > '0'
THEN 'NO'
ELSE 'Unknown'
END AS alias_type

SQL query alias names errors with dynamic lists

Hullo,
Problem:
- Made a query form book database. Have authors in separate table with unique ID's referring to them on book table.
- Query fetches author name in "Surname, Firstname initial.Secondfirstname initial" format, --> like "Bukowski, H.C" and giving that combo alias name in SQL like "AS 'author'"...
- Dynamic list works fine at start, but when ordered from detail table back to the mainlisting, it does make an error with SQL stating "unknown column 'author' in where clause"
That must be because the script looks for "author" column from the original table yeah, but how can I solve this? Any ideas? Does this mean that Alias names for columns are not possible or is there something i've missed?
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks,
KimmoK

Hi Kimmo,
ADDT´s dynamic lists can handle alias columns fine to my experience, but I reckon that you most probably applied the "CONCAT(...) AS author" query modification after having generated the list, and the list´s internal WHERE clause seems to have no clue of this alias column.
You can get an idea about using alias columns in Dynamic Lists in my tutorial "Dynamic Lists: exploring the Filter Conditions": http://www.guenter-schenk.com/tutorials/tutorial.php?id=6
Can you please post the list´s code on your server as text file (e.g. code.txt) and provide a link to this file ?

How to run a webdynpro multiple times by passing different parameters each time and save webpages with parameter name?

Hi Experts,
I am a BW consultant and new to webdynpro. Not sure how to run RSO_METADATA_REPOSITORY multiple times and by passing different parameter values each time(either taken from an a standard BW table or user provided - anything is fine) and build web pages with parameter name. Need help with direction on where to start.
Let me step back and explain my requirement:
In BW we have an object called transformation.
One way of generating documentation for transformation is highlight transformation and press F1. Then its documentation will be opened as a local web page.
I need these web pages for all transformations. This is my requirment.
I came to know that RSO_METADATA_REPOSITORY is beeing used to generate this web page.
The web link is something like below:
http://ubw05.xxx.com:8005/SAP/BW/DOC/METADATA/?page=BW_O_D&SystemID=BWPCLNT100&ClassID=TRFN&ID=0KHR6J65AIIUTCJZEC093K6XDFV909PB&objectVersion=A&sap-language=EN&sap-client=100
When i run this link seperately(not by selecting transformation and pressing F1) i need to enter login credentials to BW system.
My challenges is how do i pass login credentials and multiple transformation IDs to generate multipe web pages with each page named by transformation ID?
WHere to start? First of all is RSO_METADATA_REPOSITORY Webdynpro JAVA or webdynpro ABAP or can i use anything?
Since it is beeing opened as local webpages i assume it is webdynpro JAVa is that correct?
Thanks,
Raghu

How to sort the members by alias names

I am trying to create dimension build rule whicl will sort the dimension members in an ascending order, but it has to be based on the alias name instead of the member name.
I have tried both Parent-CHild and Generation reference but it doesn't work.
For example
for the city members PSE ( alias name Purchase), and USALB ( alias Albany) needs to be sorted by alias names
the current order is
PSE(Purchase)
USALB(albany)
but the requirement is to be
USALB( Albany)
PSE(Purchase)

Even with presorting the input, you still have work to do. By default, Essbase will add new members to the bottom of the list of membrers, it does not insert them into an existing hierarchy in the right places. If your trying to update existing hierarchies and are going the SQL route, you will need two rules (or 1 rule and a flat file). You also need to specify remove unspecified as part of the dimension build process.
HAve a dummy input (either sql or file) that gets loaded the first time. IT will basically wipe out all the members of the dimension, then your second rule (or same rule calling your SQL) can reload the dimension sorted in alias order.
IT is important that these two rules be done together (either in MaxL using comasin a single statement) or in a BSO cube in the outline before the outline is saved. Otherwise you will have deleted any data that existed in the database. It would be impartant that your SQL also pulls all members (including any special members)

You say you are going to change the stored procedure. That is not necessary, you could put an order by clause in your sql extract statement

Two Instances With Same Name

Hi Everyone,
Today i was posed with a new question/issue. We have a development and production environment with two different names currently. My supervisor will like me to recreate development with the same instance name as production. Is this possible and feasible to do? We are moving our system from develpment to production, and we use web services to direct our application to the database, and he would like the same instance name used in both web services. We will be running both systems together for a while, until the kinks are worked out.
Any help will be appreciated.

thanks again SB. I understand what you are doing in your example. Say for example, i would keep my current setup as it for now.
one sid = dev
another sid = test and dev is the sid in the connection string. Can i keep the instance name of test but in the tnsnames file, can i have the service_name = dev. Is that possible????Absolutely. See this:
FOOBAR =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)In the above, the application would issue a connect to FOOBAR,
which is resolved by the TNS layer as a request to (SERVICE_NAME=ORCL),
which will be handled by a listener using (PORT=1521)
on (HOST=myhost).
FOOBAR is not and never has been the name of the database or instance. The confusion comes because by convention we would have used the same value in SERVICE_NAME and the name of the entry:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)This aliasing of the connect string make it possible to do a couple of things, depending on your needs. The first, which is what it appears you need, is to have different clients use the same alias (so the client doesn't have to know) for different instances. So a client needing the production database would have a tnsnames entry like:
MYDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = PRODDB)and a client needing the test database would have
MYDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = TESTDB)both clients would issue a connect to MYDB, and the tnsnames entry controls what database that resolves to.
But I'd take it one step further with the application code. I'd NEVER hard-code that tns-alias name anyway. For the very reason you've run into. It's too much work to change it if need be. Run-time values like that should be in some sort of start-up configuration file, much like oracle's own init.ora file. Even when I was writing COBOL programs on IBM mainframes, I had a fundamental rule that no run-time values would be hard-coded. They were all put into a simple text parameter file.
Ok, all that said, here's the other thing the nature of the tnsnames.ora file lets you do:
BILL =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = PRODDB)
CAROL =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = PRODDB)
TED =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = PRODDB)
ALICE =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = PRODDB)With the above, connection requests to BILL, CAROL, TED, or ALICE all resovle to the same database. Off-hand I can't think of how this might be useful, except perhaps to give separate aliases for either DEDICATED or SHARED connections:
FUBAR_DED =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = PRODDB)
FUBAR_SHARED =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = SHARED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = PRODDB)Hope this clarifies your understanding of how tnsnames resolution works.

Alias names for dimensions in BO 4.0 Explorer (Information Space)

Hello,
I have a requirement to add 15 dimensions and 2 measures in an information space. Each dimension has alias names. Example, buyer is a dimension which can be also be called purchasing group, Pgroup, Employee etc. I know it is possible to rename the dimensions. But is there any way to assign alias names to dimensions either in the universe or in information space? So when a user types Pgroup and hits the search button in explorer, he/she should find a match in the information space where buyer is a dimension.
Also, is there any limit in adding dimensions to an information space? Can I add upto 15 dimensions?
Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks,
Ann

Hi there
In the Universe, you can have objects with a different name that point to the same database table/field name. From your example below, you could have both the Purchasing Group and Employee dimension pointing to the same database table.field. You should be able to add 15 (and more) dimensions to your Information Workspace-- I haven't seen any documentation on the maximum number of dimensions out there.
Just keep in mind that as you add more dimensions/facets, users may get a scroll bar and will need to scroll across to see then.
Hope this helps!
D.

Login to EP either with Alias name or user id.
