Multiple BI systems in portal???

Hi,
We have more than one BI systems which are into production.
Now that we have activated BI Technical content in both the sytems
( which is nothing but all the technical information such as runtime,max load time, min load time, how often the queries are called,top 10 queries most used by users,max infoproviders used by users and so on)
and would like to have these techincal contents of the systems published in the portal---
The thing is that in the portal as of now we were able to connect and see the tehincal content of one BI system at a time and not both---
i guess there must be setting which will enable both BI systems technical contents to be published in the portal--
any ideas folks??

Can I use existing portal to connect to multiple R3 systems for config

I am planning to use existing portal 6.0 to connect to multiple R/3 systems for testing and configuration.
We have three portals in our landscape DEV TST and PRD.
Our R/3 system landscape -->DEV, DEV2, TST,TST2,TST3 etc.
DEV portal is connect to dev system TST portal to R/3 TST system etc.
Is there a way I can connect DEV portal to DEV2 R/3 System without effecting portal testing and configuration which is in progresses in DEV R/3 system.
If any one has done it in the past, please share instructions
Thanks,
adil

One Portal Multiple BI systems

Hi,
I have a scenario wherein there are two BI systems and one portal that is used for displaying the data. Now I know we need a BI JAVA on the portal for this scenario.
My doubts are:
1. Can we use BI JAVA to connect and pull data from multiple BI systems?
2. Is SSO essential for the running of BI JAVA? If yes then how can i connect two BI systems to one portal with SSO.
Federated Portal is NOT to be used. Any other pointers in connecting 2 BI systems to a single portal and use the BI JAVA functionality is welcome.
Correct answers will be suitable rewarded.
Thanks,
Arun E V

Your approach is very interesting and I'd like to comment why FPN might be your best option in this case.
If you are running new 7.0 web functionalties each BI 7.0 system must have usage types:
ABAP side: AS ABAP and BI
JAVA side: AS JAVA, BI JAVA, BI EP
See: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0606dd7-011d-2a10-e1a8-d66b35bb0767
If in your case you would like "federate" your users (and subsequently the content for those users..roles, iViews, etc) across several BI systems then having an overall EP ("corporate portal") using FPN would be the best option.
Now, If you have two seperate BI systems (with a BI Portal on each) the only way your users can switch from one BI to the next is via SSO, however you are still logging into each BI system and have to maintain portal content (user roles, iviews, etc) on two seperate systems. By using FPN can you maintain this all from one single point of access.

Programmatic access to multiple backend systems using adaptive RFC

Hello,
The following link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/af/84a34098022a54e10000000a1550b0/content.htm talks about the support to map multiple backend systems by specifying the backend system as URL parameters in a webdynpro application.
For example:
http://<hostname>:<port>/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/ESSProject/ESSApp?
sap.wdarfc.useSys=WD_MODELDATA_DEST:ABC&
sap.wdarfc.useSys=WD_RFC_METADATA_DEST:ABC
Is it possible to programmatically change the backend systems the application connects to? in other words can a single application while executing connect to different backend systems by dynamically changing the model parameters?
(This should be possible without the portal in the picture)
Cheers,
Praveen

WD Exception when pointing ESS Travel & Expense to multiple backend systems

Hi All,
I have a query regarding ESS Travel Management pointing to multiple backend systems.
ESS MSS is installed on a single portal(Portal1).
ESS MSS is currently pointing to Backend System1. The requirement is that ESS Travel from Portal1 should point to various multiple Backend Systems therefore making ESS Travel region-specific.
Is this possible? and if so what are the pros and cons?
This is what I have attempted:
1. Followed the documentation from "Multiple Back End Support for the Adaptive RFC Model" [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/af/84a34098022a54e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]
Therefore, I created 2 JCOs namely: SAP_R3_Travel_R1 and SAP_R3_Travel_MetaData_R1 pointing to Backend Sytem 2. SSO and JCO tests successfully.
2. On the iview properties for ESS Travel & Expenses, I added the following to the Application Parameters: sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_Travel:_R1&sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_Travel_MetaData:_R1
3. I additionally created a system in the Portal under System Configuration pointing to Backend System2 and adding the SAP_R3_Travel_R1 as the default System Alias. Do I need to add SAP_ITS_XSS and SAP_WebDynpro_XSS system alias, if so how since it is seeing as redundant because it is added in the system I created for Backend System1.
4. I then tested one of the ESS Travel & Expenses iviews. I have the following error:
Accessing System XYZ is not possible because RFC Metadata was retrieved using System ABC. Please assure you have configured the RFC Connections properly. A Server restart may be necessary!
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Fall back systemwhen multiple SAP systems trying to acheive SSO with BOEXI

Friends,
I need a small clarification on ' SSO between BOE XI 3.1 and SAP BI 7' Scenario,
Say when multiple users log on through their SAP EP Portals or Netwever Portals, they use their tokens generated by their respective EP portals which are passed through the 'Web application server' hosting BOE environment.
1) When its a Single EP portal , we can have have a fall back system. when we register its logical name in the CMC of BOE Environment , a typical SNC.But what's the fall back system for multiple SAP systems?
2) Also Whether there are any pit falls via token method when more than one SAP system communicating to BOE?
3) Do we have any documentation for this?
Thanks ,
Sivakanth.

Hi Sivakanth,
the normal scenario for SSO is the following:
When you said ''back end system ', i did not get it.
Enterprise Portal -
(iView)-------> BOE -
> SAP BI <- This is your backend system
Well Could I define more than one logical name there in SNC tab of CMC.?
I assume you have the following situation:
(EP1, EP2, EP3) -
> BOE -
> (SAP BI 1, SAP BI 2, SAP BI n)
You can define more than one entitlement systems in the BOE CMC and also configure for each one of them for SNC. Please note that we are talking about server trust and NOT client trust here. It is all about letting your sap system and the boe system trust each other. If you have your portal with client SNC configured (ie. the user logs using a certificate and an SAP logon ticket is created) it is NOT necessary to configure SNC in the CMC (Please refer to the section "Configuring SAP Server-Side Trust" in the installation guide for the integration kit for SAP) side.
Back to the SSO scenario now: When a user connects from an enterprise portal on the BOE system the logon ticket, generated from the portal, is forwarded to the back-end system, which is defined in the portal iView the user is currently navigating through. If it is a Crystal Enterprise iView then you just have to select the appropriate system alias of your back-end system in the System drop down menu when creating the iView. For URL iViews you must utilize the relevant openDocument parameters. If you do not define anything at all when creating the iView then BOE tries to authenticate the logon ticket against the SAP BI system you selected to be the default one in the "Authentication->SAP->Options" tab of the CMC.
If what you want is just to distribute the load between your SAP back-end systems then you should consider utilizing an SAP cluster for your pursposes. As explained before BOE will not distribute the requests evenly on the back-end systems. It will try to contact either the system defined in the request (iView) or the default system. To be honest I am not sure what happens if the explicitely defined system is not available but I think that an error message is what you should expect then. I do not think that in this case the BOE system tries to use the system defined as default.
Another part is what kind of security is defined in BEX querys..as i read from SAP IK guide, we can import all the roles which are defined at ABAB level.
Will there be any security threats to SAP data via this method.
It is true that you can import all roles in your BOE system. But keep the following four things in mind:
1) You can restrict on the BOE side the users which are authorized to logon in the CMC and import the roles (normally only the BOE administrator is authorized to do this)
2) Importing a role means that an SAP user can try to logon the BOE. Still the logon process can only be succesfull only if the SAP user has special authorization on the SAP side (Please check the Appendix "Authorizations" in the installation guide of the integration Kit for SAP.
3) You can restrict the access to data by assigning authorizations only for specific infoareas/infoproviders. In order to partially restrict data access in a given infoprovider (e.g infocube or multiprovider) you can utilize authorization variables in your BW query.
4) You can further restrict access on specific reports either on the BOE side or on the portal side (by rstricting access to the defined iViews).
For sure you must invest some time to define and implement your security concept.
More over could you please answer other 2 questions in my original question.
2) Also Whether there are any pit falls via token method when more than one SAP system communicating to BOE?
3) Do we have any documentation for this?
2) As long as your portals, the back-end systems and your BOE system are configured correctly for SSO this should not be a problem. Well just a tip based on my experience: be sure to use full qualified domain names for your systems in the iView definitions. And do not forget SSO works only if all systems are in the same domain.
3) As said in my previous posting the netweaver documentation regadring SSO setup maybe interesting for you. As far as I know the multiple systems scenario is not contained explicitely in any official BOBJ documentation. I assume that you already went through the installation guide for the integration kit for SAP.
Please tell me if you have a completely different scenario in mind

Stratos

Multiple Logical Systems in Partner Profile for one instance

Can we create multiple Logical Systems in Partner Profile (WE20) for one instance or one System? If it is possible, can we create Logical System with respect to Plant/Country?

I am not quite sure if I understood your problem completley. But let's see...
Usually you use on on MSCS Cluster Group per SAP instance. So you have your already existing NW 7.0 ABAP stack in a separated Cluster Group, and you create a new Cluster Group for your new Java system.
You can find more information about it in this guide here on SDN:
Link: [High Availability;
More information about High Availability Setups for SAP System can be found here on SDN:
Link: [High Availability]
If you want to use the same database for your clustered ABAP stack and your new Java stack you can do a MCOD installation.
Please see Link: [SAP Note 388866 - Multiple Components on One Database - Installation|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/388866]
Hope this helps.

Please help me get my laptop back someone has cracked the master password and is running multiple operating systems which I have no access to

Okay so I am not a computer expert by any means and have no clue how to fix my system. My father worked for intel for over 20 years as an engineer I asked him to restore my laptop to its original factory state and instead he cracked the master password
installed multiple operating systems and made himself the administrator or domain controller. Many features and options I do not have access to so reading the trouble shooting and going through the steps always leads me to a dead end. The laptop is TOSHIBA
SATELLITE L875D-S7332 a6 VISION AMD WINDOWS 8. As far as I can see my profile is actual running a version of windows 7. I do see reference to a windows 8RT windows 2003 windows vista wow64 and 32 I don't know what all that means I would just like to know how
wipe everything and get back to the factory condition I bought it in. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated

Do you have Win 7 installation disk? If yes, then go ahead and format the laptop if you don't need any data. If you need the data it it, then copy the same to USB disk and format it. Removing OS and deleting these things will anyhow keep some remains on
HDD. TO get the speed and performance back, you might need a fresh installation.

How can I handle deploying multiple test systems on the same PC that have been developed using different versions of LabVIEW, TestStand, and/or Switch Executive?

The major issue here is that the test systems must be documented and validated before being released to the production floor. Given this if a test station has multiple test systems deployed on it that have been developed on various versions of LV, TS, and Switch exec how can I force the test system selected to use the correct versions of TS, LV, and Switch exec.? I understand that the solution would be to recomplie everything and bring them up to the latest version but that would then require re-validation according to the QA department. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
It would be nice if theTS deployment was more like an LV executable... meaning when a LV executable is launched it always knows what LV runtime engine to use when there are multiple engines installed on a PC.

Hi,
Multiply versions of teststand can reside on the same system, but only one version can run at a time. They is a utility that has to be run to set the active version.
The SequenceFiles have a version number, and you will find an error will be generate if you try to Load the sequencefile in the wrong version of TestStand.
The labview VIs will only work providing the correct version of the RTE is also installed on your system, even a labview executabe requires the correct RTE to be installed, either as part of the executable installation or as a seperate installation, before the labview exe will work correctly.
I'm not fimilar with the Switch exec but I would expect that it will also require the correct lower level device drivers to be available for the version you are using.
Therefore, as you are indicating that some of your system are at a older version, its difficult to image how you could achive this, considering if you say you have different versions of the software(s). For a start, you may have the problem that newer code/ sequencefiles using additional functionatily not available in the older versions.
I would think your only solution would be to have different deployments covering the different versions you have, or at least bring all your test systems up to the same version of teststand.

Creation of sales order in CRM and replicating it to Multiple ECC system.

We have a requirement for creation of sales order in CRM and replicating it to Multiple ECC system.
We have checked the following standard Adapter objects in transaction R3AC1.

The initial flow contexts does not support target site type as R/3(SMOF_ ERPSITE). So we are not able to replicate the sales order from CRM
to ECC.
2. SALESDOCUMENT
Here the initial flow contexts does not support flow from CRM -> R/3 as we don’t see the target site as CRM.
Please let us know if the standard sap middleware objects don’t support the sales order flow from CRM to multiple ECC or is there any
other adapter object we need to use for this.

Steps to configure R/3 system to Portal implementation

Hi
Please provide steps to configure R/3 system to Portal implementation
when i m opening standard iview in ESS in portal i m getting following runtime error.
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDRuntimeException: Failed to resolve JCO destination name 'SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics_MetaData' in the SLD. No such JCO destination is defined in the SLD.
Please help
Thanks

Hello Bhupinder Singh,
To use ESS/MSS services in Portal follow the following Steps
Maintaining jCo Connections
Use
jCo connections are used in iViews to connect directly to a backend. They are delivered with the portal content and must be activated (configured to access a specific system).
jCo connections have two parts: one with <jCo name>, and the other with suffix <jCo Name>_MetaData. The first one transfers user-specific data within the scenario; the other transfers only the needed metadata. For the jCo with name <jCo name>, SAP Logon Ticket is recommended as an authentication method. For the metadata connection, a user ID and password is needed. A system user created before is sufficient.
Procedure
Within this guide we generically describe the step-by-step procedure for an example connection set. Perform all steps for the following jCos:
u2022     SAP_R3_Financials / SAP_R3_Financials_Metadata
u2022     SAP_R3_HumanResources / SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData
u2022     SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics / SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics_MetaData
u2022     SAP_R3_Travel / SAP_R3_Travel_MetaData
