Managing impact of GRC10 portal repository object sync

Hello all,
Now that our repository object sync for the Enterprise Portal connection is (finally) working accurately again, we are again facing the issue of how to manage the impact, since the system is, for all practical purposes, not usable during that 3+ hours each day. We are considering locking out the users and posting the sync schedule on the portal page to remind users that they will be locked out. Is this what others are doing? If you have a better idea, I would be interested in hearing about it.
Thanks,
Gretchen

Hi Nitesh,
We worked on this issue for quiet sometime with SAP to get this finally fixed You can check all below mentioned notes.
First Check:
Please check the Note: 1915763 - Error Provisioning from GRC 10 to SAP Portal while adding or removing a role in Change Account request type.
This Note says that if your LDAP set as data source is read-only in Portal, then you need to change it to Modifiable in order to allow create or change user belonging to LDAP.
We have set the UME correctly and no longer read-only. But our access requests still used to fail with the following messages.
"Object class name does not exist in IDM".
Second Check:
Kindly ensure the field mapping for portal is done in IMG settings properly.
If it is fine please check below note 2033714 - AC10.0: error in SGL1 "Object class name does not exist in IDM".
This note is only to check if you have made any mistake with your portal mapping and doesn't address the correct issue.
Third Check:
Finally after implementing SAP note 1941250 - UAM: Truncated parameters provisioned on changing users from Access Request
our issue got fixed.

Madhu.

BW Publisher + Lifecycle Manager + Import Wizard Repository Objects

Hi,
I would like to ask advice about moving reports from a for example a QA to Production enviornment.
BW 3.5, BOXI 3.1 (SP1 currently / possibly SP2 )
I have reports which have been published using BW Publisher which have Parameters populated by BW.
I have other reports which have parameters which are populated by Business Views.
I have reports which are a combination of BW Queries and a Universe built upon a SQL server 2008 Database.
I have tried publishing the Report using the (NON SAP) Universe via BW Publisher and I get an error.
Also I realise that the BW publisher will not move the Business Views Repository Objects and NON SAP Universe to the Production Enviornment.
What is your suggestion regarding moving these reports?
I can only think that some reports will be moved using BW Publisher and others using the LIfeCycle Manager.
Am I correct in assuming that LCM will not move BW Published reports to the new Business Objects Installation correctly (because they will point to the BW Server which originally published them. Can the Schedule Manager perhaps not take care of this for me?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Nicole

Thank you all for your replies
I have other reports which have parameters which are populated by Business Views.
<h5> I had issues moving these with LCM and even the Import wizard which I eventually only resloved by Moving the Business Views and LOVs using Business View Manager Import and Export wizard - I still had to map LOV to the objects within the existing business views but got them working!
The reports (even the ones using business views) ran correctly (except for Parameters - see below) after transporting using the BW Publisher and Content Administration Workbench</h5>
I have reports which are a combination of BW Queries and a Universe built upon a SQL server 2008 Database.
<h5> Have not tested yet but managed to transport using SAP Transport </h5>
I have reports which have been published using BW Publisher which have Parameters populated by BW.
<h5>Ironically here is where I have an issue
I am having an issue with Report Parameters:
Dev Server: BW publisher / Infoview populates Parameters LOV at run time.
QA Server: only static parameters are shown.
Both servers should have identical software BOE 3.1 and SAP Integration Kit 3.1
Both Servers have BW Publisher configured and I am publishing from the Content Administrator Workbench.
The only difference I can think of in Terms of the servers is that Reports were published to DEV using SAP Menu in Crystal Reports and on QA I transported the Reports from DEV and THEN published them in QA.
Authorizations are also different u2013 in DEV I have Sap_All and in Dev I have a role.</h5>
I was also having issues getting "My Groups" to appear in Infoview but this is resloved and I believe was due to authorisations and roles - not having the correct one.
I am installing SP2 on a 3rd server to test if the issue would be resolved.
Tell me does BW require a different transport to communicate with a BOE server installed with SP2?
Kind Regards,
Nicole

9.0.2.6 Portal Repository Upgrade Patch problems.

We got some problem with Portal when tryed to apply
9.0.2.6 Upgrade. Could anybody give advice on this issue:
Initial configuration:
Solaris8, Portal 9.0.2.2.14, Oracle 9iAS R2 v.9.0.2.0, RDBMS 9.0.1.3. The infrastructure and midtier work on different SPARC-servers.
Accordingly upgrade procedure we succesfully applied:
a) Infrastructure: 9.0.1.4 Patchset for Oracle RDBMS server, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for OID, Oracle 9iAS SSO-server
migration to 9.0.2.5, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for 9iAS Core.
b) 9.0.1.4 Patchset for Oracle RDBMS server, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for OID, Oracle 9iAS SSO-server migration to 9.0.2.5, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for 9iAS Core, Portal 9.0.2.6
patch.
After this we needed to make just one last step:
Portal 9.0.2.6 Repository Upgrade Patch (2981297) for
changing Portal's repository schemes. It worked but
like a result we got the next errors after patch upgrade
was done:
a) "The following invalid non-Portal objects exist in the Portal Schema: INDEX ABC (the name of portal object), PACKAGE BODY WWMON_REP_REPOSITORY, PACKAGE BODY WWMON_REP_REPOSIT_DTL, PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "," when expecting one of the following: (-+case mod not null <an identifier>,...) The symbol "null" was substituted for "," to continue.)" See upgtmp/nonportal.log
b) "ERROR: 1 invalid objects remain; ERROR: Failed while updating the new portlet IDS..."
c) "ERROR: ORA-01407: cannot update ("PORTAL"."WWSBR_URL$"."URL") to NULL.
d) Two package body of packages at PORTAL scheme became invalid: WWMON_REP_REPOSITORY, WWMON_REP_REPOSIT_DTL. About 20 package body of packages at PORTAL_DEMO became invalid (It seems like initial portlet ID's disappeared
and except of pportlet_id there is nothing:
Example:
inital statement at body:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PORTAL.wwpro_api_invalidation.invalidate_cache(
p_provider_id => p_provider_id,
p_portletid => 1065753336,
p_instance_id => p_reference_path,
p_subscriber_id => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_subscriber_id ,
p_user => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_user);
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
after upgrade repository patch:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PORTAL.wwpro_api_invalidation.invalidate_cache(
p_provider_id => p_provider_id,
p_portletid => ,
p_instance_id => p_reference_path,
p_subscriber_id => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_subscriber_id ,
p_user => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_user);
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Like a result after 9.0.2.6 Portal Repository Upgrade Patch application we lost the possibility to edit user's
profiles at Portal and other nesessary features. It seems
like some portlet ID's just dissapeared from Portal scheme. Could anybody had the same problem with Portal Upgrade 9.0.2.6? Quite possible that we missed some important element at during upgrade but ,really, we didn't wait so unlucky result. Advice something, please...
Regards. Igor.

Igor,
Since you've encountered undocumented errors, your repository upgrade has failed. You'll want to leave the repository as is for troublshooting, if at all possible, and log a TAR with support if you haven't already. They'll ask you to upload your upgrade log file and your upgrade tmp directory.

Hi tooCann,
Some times XML-Repository content in the database gets corrupted (XML not valid) during the upgrade. Therefore some WebDynpro applications (e.g. Universal Worklist (UWL)) may not work properly after the upgrade.
Undeploy your DC first via SDM and deploy again.
Check the SAP Note : <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_bc_wd/~form/handler">986460</a>

Renaming Integration Repository objects?

Hello everybody,
is there any way to rename already created integration repository objects (e.g. integration scenarios)? There are some distinct naming conventions for some of the SAP certification programs and some of the content already developed does not adhere to those conventions.
Thanks for your answers!
Regards
Jörg Strebel

The renaming is not given as an option, mainly because of the dependcies that are involved. If renamed, the object dependencies are very difficult to manage.
1) Copy the objects to new names.
2) Change the dependencies from bottom up, to point to the new names. Data Types first, then Message Types, then Interfaces, then Mappings etc.
3) Delete the objects with old names.
4) Activate the changes.
Hope this helps,
Bhanu

Packaging Configuration Management Service of the portal

Hi:
I am writing a KM namespace filter to be applied to a CM
repository of news items. There is an 'admin console' for
this functionality. The 'Admin' in her/his admin console
iview does some selections regarding no. of items,name of
categories to display and saves them.
Since KM filter functionality or CM repository properties
can't be changed during runtime,ie.,any change of selections
done by the 'admin' needs restart of the servlet engine,
which is not an option in a production environment. So, I
thought of using 'Configuration Management Service' of the
portal to read from and write to all the selections during
the runtime.
<u>Everything is fairly easy regarding writing a configuration
management service, except packaging it and deploying it.
The documentation makes no sense if you compare it to the
example given along with the portal documentation.
Do we have to use any special plugin to package this
service ? Or is there any updated documention available ?</u>
Please help me with this problem,
Thank you very much,
Prasad Nutalapati.

Hi,
You can access through useradmin.
example: http://localhost:<port>/useradmin
Here, log-in to the application as an administrator. You can see the
"Identity Management".

Thanks Sandra, we will look into it.
By the way, do you know why they removed the possibility to create and manage multiple roles in the ROB security manager as was was available in ODWA?

Web Page Composer: making iViews available in Portal Repository tab

Hello experts.
I'm trying to make some content (banners, images, iviews) for WPC (in SAP EP 7.4) and I cannot find any information how to add an iView to the Portal Repository (see the image). It says 'The contents of this repository are defined by your portal administrator', but I cannot find any documents describing the procedure. Any ideas?
Best regards,
Timur Semenchuk.

Hi,

Web content management tools for enterpise portal

I'm currently trying to research web content management tools for enterprise portal.
My general requirements are:
- Tool should sit on top of the portal/km and not require another landscape infrastructure, in other words we don't need another document management repository, but rather a way an easier interface to KM.
- Should be geared towards end-user management of actual content. In other words IT provides the site framework and the business user handles the rest, with approvals with business unit
- Compatible with EP 7.0
My research so far has turned up two possible solutions:
- Webpage composer delivered by SAP
- EasyWCM by btexx
Are there any other solutions that people are using which might meet these needs or alternative web content management tools that could live with the portal on the same physical hardware environment? I have searched this forum and ecohub and have not found much besides this thread which is now almost 4 years old:
https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=24164203&messageID=448870
Thank you,
Stephen

Hi Stephen
I'm not aware of too many other options than the ones already mentioned here. Also Iu2019m probably not the right person to ask as I have been part of the development team for the KMD product. So Iu2019m a bit biased on that part.
You could try to have a look at this presentation where other WCM solutions are mentioned (page 5):
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d07b5354-c058-2a10-a98d-a23f775808a6
However if you are looking for a WCM solution with no extra landscape infrastructure and low initial setup effort you are (in my opinion) down to 3 options (Web Page Composer, Btexxu2019s or KMDu2019s product). I think all of them can be used for external content. Try to have a look at this web site u2013 made entirely with the web page composer:
http://www.kmd.dk
It was no easy task but it can be done.

RE:Business repository object...

Hi all,
What do u mean by Business Repository object...
Thanks in advance
Alex.

hi,
The Business Object Repository
Definition
The Business Object Repository (BOR) is the central access point for the SAP business object types and their BAPIs. The BOR was originally developed for SAP Business Workflow. Today, in addition to storing SAP business object types and their BAPIs, the BOR is used for ArchiveLink, output control, and other generic object services.
Use
The BOR provides the following services in the BAPI context:
1. Allows an object-oriented view of all data and processes in an SAP System
2. Arranging the various business object types according to the component hierarchy
This enables you to find the required functions quickly and easily.
3. Storage of all relevant information
The BOR contains all the relevant information on the SAP business object types, their key fields, and their BAPI methods that is needed to integrate the correct object type definitions and BAPI calls in an application program. This enables the integration of middleware (such as the DCOM Connector, ActiveX Controls, CORBA Gateway, and so on).
4. It ensures BAPI interface stability
Any interface changes carried out in the BOR are automatically checked for syntax compatibility against the associated development objects in the ABAP Dictionary
5. It manages BAPIs in release updates
BAPI interface enhancements made by adding parameters are recorded in the BOR. Previous interface versions can thus be reconstructed at any time. When a BAPI is created, the release version of the new BAPI is recorded in the BOR. The same applies when any interface parameter is created.
6. It creates instances of SAP business objects
The runtime environment of the BOR receives requests to create runtime objects from client applications and creates the appropriate object instances
reward if useful

How can i get this object present in our portal?

The security system requires that directories (of what type I don't know) be downloaded to the local client. Previously, we just copied the existing default localhost, changing the IP from 127..*. to the IP of the server given us by the security company, and gave that IP a name like c0000013***.&^%.local. Finally, we set this as type: server. Apparently, the security system downloads data to the localhost, interprets it, then gives us a security signon. To further complicate matters, the company that wrote the software has just been bought and the new guys don't seem to have a clue what they've gotten themselves into.
If is just substitute the IP and server name, i.e. 100.100.100.100/c0000013***.&^%.local in the browser, the page times out because the page contains a crossdomain.xml call to the authorization data that's already supposed to be stored in the localhost, and of course, it can't find it. I've looked at Window>Activity in Safari on computers that still work on the system, and they don't have the crossdomain.xml problem because they've already logged into the system the first time, downloaded whatever it is they need, and then when they access the page again, the local data are combined with the page and we're presented with.
No one at the new security company can even explain what they're supposedly downloading in the crossdomain.xml.

Client export for ABAP programs, repository objects cross client objects

Hello,
Let me first explain the scenario here. Our Development system crashed we are rebuilding the development system from a client export of the production. Client does not want migration etc so the only way we want to do it is through client export.
Now the question is whether cross client objects can really be imported through client export KT, KO, KX requests?
I thought it was possible but after successfully importinng the client export (which was taken using profile SAP_EXPC) of the Production client all the customizing has been imported but non of the ABAP programs have been imported.
Can anyone explain how this is done and if it is possible?
Steps I performed:
1] Exported Production client with profile SAP_EXPC
2] Imported the 3 requests KT, KO, KX using command line
tp import <KT req> <SID> U2 client=<my client> pf=<profile path>
tp import <KX req> <SID> U2 client=<my client> pf=<profile path>
tp import <KO req> <SID> U2 client=<my client> pf=<profile path>
3] After successful import ran scc7 which finished successfully
Thank you

You can transport client independent customizing, read sap note [24853 - CC-INFO: Client copy, functionality|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/24853].
But you cannot transport abap repository objects (abap programs) with a client copy.
Can you explain what you mean by "Our Development system crashed". If you still can happily do client copies to that system, then i really wonder what you mean by crashed...
Cheers Michael

Integration Repository objects

Is it possible to store Integration Repository objects (Data Types,Message Types,Message Interfaces,Message Mappings and Interface Mappings) separately in the repository like (VSS ,CVS etc,.).Some times it will be helpful to merge specific versions of the objects and activate.If i am not wrong i can only see exporting IR objects as a whole and store in the repository.

Hi Anand,
I dont have a exct answer for it but i can give you a solution.....
the thing is you can export your datatype as XSD and save that XSD at your coninient path.....so once your are in need of datatype you just import that XSD so you can see your datatype there..............so once you have your datatype i dont think it will take much of time to build IR Objects other than Mapping....this too can be solve if you use Java or XSLT Mapping...just have a copy of your pgm in local so that you can make use of it wherever you want ....hope this simplifies your task...f you feel im wrong kindly inform me...
Cheers,

A problem with email alerts in management services of Azure portal

Hi,
I have created an alert with email notification on a custom performance counter using the management services of Azure portal.
Currently the alert is in active state (and has been so for several hours), but i haven't received any email.
Can someone please advise on this issue?
Thanks,
Roi

Do you have an endpoint for the service. To enable endpoint monitoring, go to the
dashboard page for the associated resource and edit the
Endpoints setting in the
monitoring section, see figure 1. If you have an endpoint, try disabling and enabling the alert in the management tab.
