MII 11.5 used as kiosk

I have an irpt that sits on a kiosk pc displaying data for 60 mfg lines. The data refreshes periodically and it allows an operator to walk up to the pc, look at their sample checks and print out a label by double clicking their sample checks. A problem that I have found is there is a need to reprint the labels. Currently, I have the irpt to only accept one label per sample checked. Since the nature of the data affects the outcome of their product, we only want set up men or foremen to have the ability to reprint these labels if necessary. Another problem I noticed was the printing of the labels. I wanted a smooth fully automatic method to print labels. What this means is the operator walks up to the pc double clicks his sample and the label prints. If you use IE, javascript does not have the functionality to eliminate the print dialog box and it potentially could cause problems for this system. I have since solved this problem by using a reputable kiosk software that allows the printing dialog boxes to be hidden. Everything, so far, is going smooth except the reprinting of the labels. I can not simple place this irpt on a foreman's computer because it will not print correctly. I have to use the irpt that is on the kiosk.
My question is how can I enforce security on the kiosk when a label needs to be reprinted? I am still on version 11.5 and I know I could simply create a user for the set up people and the foremans to use, but if we ever upgrade to 12.0, we would have a headache. So I am thinking maybe if there is a way to force a log out of MII prior to the administrative screen and after X amount of time of inactivity it would log out to go to the kiosk screen. Can I force a log out of MII and how do I do this?

Thanks!! I guess I got confused thinking this was in the inetpub directory when I should have been looking in the Servlet directory. I am thinking that I need to create a predefined Relogin.jsp. I would like to call the relogin.jsp but when the user types in his username and password, it takes him to the correct irpt and not to the MII homepage. Which jsp and/or irpts (htm) should I be looking at to modify so this works for me?

Problems consuming a MII web service using 'Add Service Reference' in Visual Studio

I can generate a client proxy when I use 'Add Web Reference' in visual studio, but when I try to use 'Add Service Reference', I get an empty stub. We have a product that generates web service client proxy code in a manner similar to that used by the Microsoft 'Add Service Reference' code. We are usually able to consume ASMX web services as well, but currently are unable to consume the SAP MII web service. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Didi,
I can successfully add a Service Reference and execute an MII transaction with input and output parameters through the Service Reference. This is using MII14 SP5 latest patch, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 in C#.
Which version of MII, and which version of VS?
Can you paste the MII url into a browser and get it to return the WSDL?

Guided access use for kiosk

I intend to use "guided access" for a single library app. The ipad is intended to stay on, however, if it remains idle for awhile if first "dims" and the shuts down. How do I let patrons restart it with out access to the Home button?

Once the iPad goes into sleep mode, either the On button or the Home button must be used to wake it.
The only option I see is to set time out to Never.

Use of Expression Web for web development in MII 12.0

Hi ,
I have been developing on MII 12.0 using Frontpage 2003. I have a new Vista system and it doesnot support Frontpage. I am using Expression Web for development of web pages. I would like to know whether i can use the xMII Productivity Wizards along with Expression Web.
Thanks,
Amit

If the built-in plug-in for FrontPage doesn't work, then the standalone versions should still work.

Meta Kiosk would certainly do what you need and the USB pass through works.
http://blogs.sun.com/danielc/entry/meta_kiosk_how_to_run
I think the problem you are running into is that you are using uttsc inside a Solaris environment as an app, looks like CDE, which isn't being supported to my knowledge to avoid conflicts between the two desktops. It is designed to work out of the box with SRWC kiosk mode.
The undocumented way to turn it on is to turn usb on by adding -r USB:on as an argument.

Best way to recieve Datas from MII in SAP

Hi everybody,
We are discussing which way is the best to get data to SAP when SAP is the initiator.
We tesed RFC but it looks like that if I call a transaction in MII as a rfc I can only send data and it is not possible to recieve data in this way. Can somebody confirm that?
To send data to MII we usually use IDOCs when SAP is the initiator.
To send data to SAP we usually use rfc when MII is the initiator.
To send data to MIIwe usually use rfc when MII is the initiator
But what can we use if we want to send data to SAP and SAP is the initiator?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Matthias

Hi,
thanks for your quick answer.
Is it possible to use an rfc in ABAP-Code and recieve data?
I think this is not possible.
Our Business-case:
A user starts an SAP-Programm (e.g. custom transaction) where he has some informations to a machine.
In this program we also want to see data from MII.
it should be something like this in ABAP-code:
CALL FUNCTION mii_transaction DESTINATION mii_dest
parameter_list.
But I read in a help-file that it is only possible to send information not to recieve. Is this correct?
Or is it also possible to recieve data from mii like this (in parameter_list)?

Matthias

Vishal,
what exactly did you change? How do you call the action block? What version/Support package/Build of MII do you use?
Have you see the following thread? There a user had the same message which was caused by missing credentials.

MII Reports - How and where to view them

Hi Gurus,
Few quick questions on MII reports : Please see if you can answers one , few or all of them .
1. after the MII composite applications are built, how to view the reports... i.e is SAP recommending to use a different portal (for example the already existing Enterprise portal) or the the portal on its MII is installed it self .....
In short which portal is recommended...
2. MII 14.0 to be installed on just NW 7.31 with pure java stack or - NW CE 7.3 ... what is advantage of installing MII on CE 7.4 rather than on a pure java stack
Sincerely,
Neni.

Hi Rakesh,
MII has its own portal where you can create the links for the reports build in MII.(<protocol>://<server>:<port>/XMII/Illuminator?service=Personalization or Click on the the Home link in the home page of MII)
Also every report has its own URL which then can be called from anywhere.
So it depends on your business case whether you what to use MII portal or use reports from anywhere else.
Regards,
Rohit Negi.

Windows 7 as kiosk

Please comment if this is a BUG in MII 12.2 or Normal?

Hi,
MII Version in Use:- 12.2.2 Build(235)
I am trying to use "TransactionPath" function from Link editor to obtain the path for current transaction. Now when I execute this transaction from workbench, everything works fine as expected and desired.
The problem comes when I run this transaction using Runner service.
I mapped the result of TransactionPath function to an output variable and then checked its value using runner service, and the output was a blank tag(for my output variable). The bigger problem comes when I try to implement some string functionality on the output of TransactionPath function. At this the transaction fails becaue the links that hold string operation fails(and thats because TransactionPath is returning null value).
Also, Just to proof check that my transaction, runner service URL and mappings etc are correct, I changed the TransactionPath function to TransactionId function and then I started getting result in my output variable tag in output xml. Thus with every refresh that I did , the transaction ID increased by 1 value.
Please comment if this a known issue or bug or there is something that I am missing or this is a expected result for some reason !!
Best Regards
Piyush Govil

Hi Piyush,
I also checked that the transaction path is not coming in the output xml but from the workbench with a tracer it is working fine.
I also verified that all other things are coming as they should but not the transaction path.

How to show bookmarks on the navigator toolbar using userchrome?

Hello, I am suing Firefox in the kiosk mode using R-Kiosk, and I have hidden the exit button, urlbar and searchbar in fullscreen using userchrome. I would like to put my bookmakrs instead of the urlbar, using userchrome - simple drag and drop does not work for me.

Did you try to customize the Navigation Toolbar and remove the location bar and search bar and move the Bookmarks Toolbar items to it?
View > Toolbars > Customize
You may need this extension if you want to leave the search bar.

NWDI in MII 12.2

Hi,
In the past, I have configured NWDI for MII 12.1 system and used NWDS for deploying the code to production system.
For 12.2 version, I see some SAP document says there is an enhancement to MII transport mechanism using NWDI.
Can anybody explain what are all those enhancement?
Thanks
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,
You may also want to check with your Ramp Up Coach for more information. Since 12.2 is still in Ramp up, the documentation may not have been fully updated with the new features.

Configuring IDOC Listener on MII 12.1

Hi,
I had a basic question around the configuration.
This is from 12.1 help:
"The SAP Java Resource Adapter (SAP JRA) server is used to connect to SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) to receive remote function calls (RFC) and IDocs. You can use the asynchronous HTTP interface to post data to SAP MII for asynchronous transaction processing."
In this regard is it mandatory to first configure SAP JRA on NW and then proceed with the IDOC specific config both on the R/3 as well as NW side?
The reason I ask this is that we are currently struggling with this config on 12.1.8 (build 30) where the BASIS folks are observing that the system hangs when they try to add enteries to the XMIIIDOC component . Before going through with the IDOC config they made sure that the JRA is configured and followed the steps as mentioned in the 12.1 installation guide under "Configuring JRA for JRA Actions" & "Cloning the default JRA Config" sections.They are simultaneously also following up in the NW forums to find a solution.
Additionally I had another question (this one's specifically for MIke Appleby ). Would one have to follow similar config steps as IDOC when configuring the RFC listener , atleast from the NW CE perspective? We are trying to download Control Recipes from R/3.
Thanks
Udayan

Hi Udayan,
Yes, the configuration for the RFC Listener is essentially the same as the IDoc Listener, except the binding is different (do not change either type from the default values and you should be fine).
The differences between the two Listener types are really on the ECC side. The installation instructions for Batch Manufacturing included the RFC Listener setup. Keep meaning to write a separate document for RFC Listeners, but haven't yet.
One general note of caution for all readers:
Do not reuse ProgIDs from an IDoc Listener in an RFC Listener and vice versa. Only use a unique ProgID once (and deleting them from one Listener or MII server to use them elsewhere is generally not advisable).
Roughly 90% of the tickets entered for IDoc Listeners with MII are because of ProgIDs used in more than one place.

Mike

PCo 2.3 Authorization Error while connecting to MII 14.0

Hi All,
We are trying to connect MII 14.0(installed on HP-UX[Unix] system) with PCo 2.3 (installed on Windows 2003 R2 SP2 system). Both MII & PCo servers are on same network. When we are trying to configure the PCo details in MII Data Servers using the link(http://<PCOServerIP:Port>/PCoManagement) , its connecting and we can see the Agents created in PCo. Also when the the PCo connector is enabled in MII, the status is showing green.
When we try to retrieve the tags using PCo Query TagRetrieveQuery, No tags shows up in MII and an error message is displayed. The MII Log shows lots of errors starting with "Authorization Error PCo". This error shows up when we are configuring the PCo details. To be exact this error shows up after entering the PCo link and clicking on Next button and entering the UserName & Password for the PCo system . Attached is the screen shot of the log error.
The user-id for the system on which PCo is installed has administrator privileges. The Net. TCP Port sharing services is also started on the PCo server.
Any other services need to started in the PCo server or anything we missed out? Is there any another service which needs to be activated for Web service?
PCo is connected to OSISoft PI using PI SDK 1_3_6_364.
We have tried applying SP's available for PCo 2.3 and still facing the same issue. In-fact we are facing more issues when we apply SP's for PCo. The tag list which shows up on PCo during Subscription Items > Browse, reduces and only few tags which are not required gets displayed in PCo.
MII Version : 14.0
PCo Version : 2.3
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Rohit,
Sorry for the delayed reply. I already checked by ensuring the PCoManagement host and Agent instance services are started. I can see the status as Running "green" when the PCo data server is enabled at the MII end. But the problem is, no tags shows-up in the PCoQuery TagRetriveQuery mode. The logs start with this Authorization Error PCo "You do not have permission to access the Web Service". The PCo Server user-id has local Admin rights.
Is there any other specific service need to be activated?
Regards,
Jeedesh
