Monitoring SAP Ent Portal Transactions

Hi all,
I am a newbie to SAP and hence need some f/b from all of you SAP gurus. Our objective is to measure the end-user experience of users who access SAP via HTTP through their Enterprise portals.
My questions are:
1. Does each SAP Transaction over HTTP have a unique siganture (or URL) that we can trace/track to measure the response time ???
2. If we can breakup the general HTTP traffic into its various threads like HTTP GETs and HTTP POSTs then can we correlate all these threads to its Single Individual SAP Transaction ??? (again this is related to Q1).
3. If a single SAP Transaction is made up of several Dialog steps on the SAP infrastructure is it possible to correlate the dialog steps that make up this single SAP Transaction ???? If so how ?
If there are any articles or help files related to the above please let me know. Any feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Murali.

Hi Murali,
the http protocol is on the one side very chatty but one the other side there are many server and browser side optimization configurations which can be done. A good overview to all your questions can be found at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/how%20to%20perform%20sap%20enterprise%20portal%20load%20testing.zip.
With some fuzzyness short answers to your quetions are:
1. yes in most instances
2. Yes via session cookies
3. yes, again via session cookies, all requests from one users have unique session cookies in the http header.
Good tools which can your life easier are httpmon or if you can make more investment Mercury LoadRunner.

Solution Manager to Monitor SAP NetWeaver Portal

Hi ,
I have setup Solution Manager 4.0 SP11 and I have a production EP.
I want to monitor the EP using Solution Manager. The monitoring would check if the portal is down and if it is down, the Solution Manager would send a email to the Portal Administrator.
In order to achieve the above monitoring setup, do I need to install Solution Manager Diagnostics?
I do hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks.
Regards,
Mike Lee

Hi Mike,
Yes. You need to setup diagnostics.

SAP Portal Transaction Launch Pad

We have a requirement to launch SAP transactions through the portal like backend ERP. Has anyone replicated this launch pad capability in portals? I know a consultant had written sample code and posted it to SDN backed in 2003 to accomplish this task (similar to unification except without drage and relate). This code obviously does not work with newer version of portal (nw04). The original SAP workplace portal from years ago had this capability. Any info around this topic would be much appreciated.

I used the role import a while back. I gather that the synchronization issue may be resolved now? I'm not sure. Maybe you should open a new question here for that.
I used the launchpad on EP6 SP2 (i.e., pre-NetWeaver). However, it is based on the unification technology, which hasn't changed since EP5. So nothing important about the guts of it had to be changed (and probably still don't have to be changed).
It was used to replace a WorkPlace implementation, because the customer wanted the look & feel to be as close to WP as possible. So we tweaked the code in a couple of ways:
1) We didn't like how it replaced the tree control with a transaction iView that took over the whole workspace (which caused you to lose the tree view). So I made it into a frameset: a narrow column with the "iPanel", and a wide column for the workspace (again, like Workplace). Then the target of the tree links was modified to write to the frame with the wide column.
2) We had ITS 6.20 links (/scripts/wgate...) and Web AS links (/sap/...), depending on the backend system. So the link syntax had to modified accordingly. They also wanted just plain URL links (because WP had them), and they had to be added as well.

WEBGUI SAP R/3 Transactions in the Portal not working

Hi,
Platform: EP7, SP11
backend: WAS ABAP 6.4, sap erp central component 5
ITS integrated, published and working ok.
The thing is, I've created a Sap TX iView, with property SAPGUI for HTML and the preview always shows the SMEN tx regardless of any TRANSACTION CODE provided when creating the iView.
Tryied to specify different transaction codes but nothing helped.
I believe that system alias and systems are ok, if not, the SMEN tx would never show up when previewing iview.
Proof of ITS working fine is when executing this:
http://<its_server>:8001/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui/!?sap-client=200&sap-user=<user>&sap-password=<pwd>&~transaction=scc4
Hope I'm clear, any ideas will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Is there User Group and Role Reporting in SAP Enterprise Portal?

I want to know if there is a way to pull users statistics our of SAP Enterprise Portal like you can out of the R3 backend systems.
I would like functionality similar to the SUIM transaction. I know through user administration you can access any user, even a list of all users, and you can do similar lists with roles and groups. You can then access any of these things individually and look at their assignments. However, I want to do this on a large scale. I want to know for example every group that has a user assigned to it. Evergroup that has roles assigned to it. Or groups that have no user or role assignments. We have approximately 1904 groups in our Production Portal system and I am trying to clean up the groups that have no user assignment, but I don't want to look through them one by one.

Hi Chris,
There is no standard report available for this purpose. However all this information is stored in table UME_STRINGS.
You can write your own SQL queries to generate such reports. However please note that this table is not normalized, and it's a master UME table. You should use it strictly for READ ONLY purpose.
For a sample code you which i wrote some time back, you might refer:

SAP Netweaver Portal - Folder structure and report publishing strategy

Hi gurus,
I'm working on a project in which we are publishing BW reports in SAP Netweaver Portal (prior to this, we were using SAP Bex Browser) organizing it by Department (workset, 2nd lvl of navigation), Business Processes (workset, 3rd lvl of navigation) and "iview types" (transactions, queries, dashboards and so on). On 1st level we have a workset simply called "Reports".
For each PFCG role we have on BW (ABAP Server), we created a portal role and defined which of the higher navigation tiers is visible to users (delta-linking the top level navigation worksets to the portal role and setting visible accordingly) and then we assigned Portal roles to the appropriated Group (PFCG role) so all users that have access to certain PFCG role can have access to the corresponding Portal role.
For example:
In BW (ABAP) we have a PFCG Role: Sales PMR Analysis - Administrator, which grants access to Sales Infoproviders, queries and data for PMR analysis. The user that have access to it, should be able to see:
|Reports|
|Sales Administration|
v PMR Analysis
> Web Queries
> Transactions
> Dashboards
> Workbooks
In Portal we create a workset that has: "Reports" and under it, all Departments (Sales Administration, Financial, Services, Human Resources and so on) set as "not visible". We create a Portal role called PMR Analysis and add the Report/Departments workset, set Sales Administration as visible and add worksets/folders named PMR Analysis, Web queries, Transactions, etc, and all the corresponding iviews under it.
If we assign this new Portal role to the Group of the corresponding PFCG role, the user will see exactly as the example from above.
Pros: The users have a clean view of the reports he/she has access.
Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist.
One of the options would be to grant visibility to ALL departments, business processes and iviews in Portal and let PFCG security roles control user access, but that might be confusing to have an overwhelming amount of links, making it hard to find what the user needs, specially during first access. Not to mention possible security breaches.
So, I'd like to know how other consultants are defining this kind of folder structure and report publishing strategy in Portal. Ideally we would like to be able to have:
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
I'd appreciate if you guys can share your experience on this.
Thanks in advance.
Leandro

Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist
This is not a refutation: your BW developers/consultants should be able to write reports, which points you in case of insufficent backend rights. EP is not designed to be familiar with ABAP security concept and cant take any influence at it.

Yes, bad idea.
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
As you already wrote on your own, this would be not good
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
This is not covered by SAP, if you wanna provide that, develop it on your own.

Sap r/3 transactions

Hi ,
How can we acess SAP R/3 transactions and BW reports so that they can be placed in an iviews in portal development.

Hi,
You need to do two main things.
1) Create a system object where you define all your connection properties of the backend R/3 or BW system.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/de/bcdf3d48b05d5ae10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
2) Create a Transaction or a BW report iview where you specify the transaction details and the system which you have created in the above step

How to connect SAP R/3- System with SAP NetWeaver Portal (2004s)?

Hello to all,
sorry, can someone help me? How can I connect SAP R/3- System with SAP NetWeaver Portal (2004s)?
Thanks and regards,
Galyna

Hi,
In previous link contain this info
This describes how to connect an SAP R/3 system to SAP NetWeaver Portal using an iView
1)      Go to System Administration
2)      Go to System Configuration
3)      Go to Portal Content (Right Side Panel), open that folder.
4)      Right Click on Portal Content, a Panel is displayed select "System (from Template)".
5)      That will display a new view on right side, now select "SAP system using dedicated application server" from
the existing templates. (Other templates are possible - for example, load balanced or through a SAProuter connection string).
For this exercise, we'll use the simplest type.
6)      Choose next
7)      Give the System Name and System Id (which are mandatory fields) incase you want to give any brief notes
about the system then give them in the "Description" field.
8)      Open the Newly Created System.
9)      Now when you want to create a New System, you have to fill four Properties they are:
"Connector" - contains basic connectivty details
"Internet transaction Server (ITS) - if you wish to use SAPGUI for HTML and/or IACs",
"Web Application Server" - if you wish to access BSPs and/or Web Dynpro for ABAP and
"User Management".
You also need at least one "System Alias" has to be defined from the Display drop down menu.
Make sure you have set end user access in the Permissions drop down menu to all users who need to access the system
10) Select "Connector" property, now fill the required fields such as:
a)      Application Host (should be fully qualified hostname) - Give the R/3 "Application Name",
which can be obtained from the SAP Logon Pad (check what R/3 system you are using, right click on it , go to the properties,
it will open a window which has the Application Server Name.
b)      Logical System Name - Give the logical name as defined in the backend system
c)      SAP Client - Check the Client in the backend system and give the appropriate number (3 digits)
d)      SAP System ID(SID)* - Check the R/3 properties and give the check for System ID
e)      System Type* - Since we are connecting to R/3, select SAP_R3 system.
f)       System Number - This is a two digit number that you can find in the SAP Logon Pad
11) Select "Internet transaction Server (ITS)" property, now fill the required fields like
a)      ITS Description à Give some Description
b)      ITS Host Name - Same as "Application Host" of R/3 (when integrated ITS) and should be attached with the
port number of ITS Server (to get port number detailed description is given below). ex: hostname : port number
c)      ITS Path - To get the path along with the port number you have to Log on to R/3 system. Use the
Transaction Code "SICF", it opens a new window go to:
      default_host -> sap -> bc -> gui -> sap -> its -> webgui -> SAP GUI for HTML -> right click on
that and click "Test Service'. This will open a new window, on the address bar you will find the "port number", and
the path something like (/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui). Use the path after the port number.
d)      ITS Protocol - There are two protocols "http" & "https", select the appropriate protocol which is
visible when you opened "Test Service" window.
12) Select "Web Application Server" property , now fill the required fields like
a)      Web AS Description -> Give some Description
b)      Web AS Host Name - same as ITS Host Name
c)      Web AS Path - usually /sap/bc/bsp/sapd)*
Web AS Protocol - should be same as the ITS Protocol.
13)   Select "User Management" property, now fill the required fields like
a)      Authentication Ticket Type - Since we are not using SSO leave the field
empty i.e. put in select mode. (Please note that longer term you will probably want to use SSO)
b)      Logon Method - Select UIDPW.
c)      User Mapping Type - In case you have administration rights then you choose "admin" or in case you
just have user rights then choose "user", better go for "admin/user".
14)   Since all the required fields are filled appropriately now create a System Alias name, this can be done by following steps:
a) go to Display -> Select "System Aliases" give some Alias Name, let's call it "SAP_R/3"
15) Now that System is created we have to create a iView which will display the given Transaction Code.
16) Go To "Content Administration".
17) Go To "Portal Content".
18) Go to Portal Content (Right Side Panel), open that folder
19) Right Click on Portal Content, a Panel is displayed select "New" -> iView
20) Select iView template, click next
21) Select "SAP Transaction iView" from the list of templates available. Click next.
22) Give the iView name and iView ID. Incase you want to give any brief notes about the iView then give it in "Description" field. Click next
23)   Select "SAP GUI for HTML" radio button. Click next
24) Now select the system which you have create "SAP_R/3", give some Transaction Code, say SE12 (Dictionary Display). Click next and Finish.
25) Now Preview the iView
26) You will see a new Window where in SE12 Dictionary Display window is displayed.

Senthil K.

Open link in object link for calling sap R/3 Transaction.

Hi all,
Can anyone help with the steps to be done in order to call an SAP Transaction in cProjects via services to Object Links. We succeeded to get the object links from R/3, we are able to see the 'open' link under 'Application' in the Object Link Tab for some of the object type like Routing, Inspection Plan .
1. But some of the Object Types like Documents from DMS Etc can be selected and linked but does not have any 'Open' link(blank).
2. But some of the object types are not searchable. (The search provided no results; Choose other search criteria ) Message is appearing even though we give the correct search criteria.
Pls guide me to solve the issue
Thank you,
Ramesh.

Hi Dev,
as this thread has been closed in the meantime (the original poster seemed to have found the solution by himself), I'd suggest you post your question as new one.
Or you check the material you can find at [service.sap.com] at the SAP Support Portal. E.g. Release & Upgrade Info > Installation & Upgrade Guides > SAP Business Suite Applications > SAP PLM using cProject Suite 4.5 > cProjects: Guide for Implementing Object Links
I think inside this document you can find all the information you need.

Portal Transaction iView not opening in browser but its open in R/3 screen

Hi
I have 2 senario.
First Scenario:
I login only into the portal and not login into R/3. I could access the portal transaction iview in the new broser portal window. And this is the expected behaviour.
second senario
I login into Portal as well as R/3 through SAP logon Pad (SAP GUI).
Now if I access Transaction Iview through portal , this transaction Iview is opened in R/3 side window not in portal browser window .And also same time we can see only new blank portal window iopen n portal side.
My question is that whichever transaction iView we access through portal we want to see that transaction iView in portal browser window like in first senario not in R/3 window.
Please help me to resolve this problem

Ruturaj

Hi Shanti
Thanks for replying.
The problem is that when our user trying to do same things in our system with his credentials means UID and PWD its working fine.But when he do the same things in his system with his credentials problem occured as per the senario 2.
This problem is not only that user but also whole their team member.
