Named user or Concurrent User

Hi All,
Need a suggestion in creating a new user for Webi.
I have unlimited Named Licenses and unlimited Concurrent Licenses. Is there still a preferred Connection Type that I need to select among these two while creating New User Accounts ??
Thanks

If you have unlimited of each, it doesn't matter. There is only a difference if you have a limited number of either.
If they were limited, then you would use a named licence if the user absolutely must be able to log in when they attempt to log in, or a concurrent licence otherwise, of course depending on how many of each you've paid for.

    Hi,
         We are using BOE XI R2. How can I check if a user logged in to BOE is a concurrent user or named user?
    Thanks,

    Thanks for replying! My bad... I didn't ask what I exactly was looking for.
    I wanted to see if there is any Audit report, or view in CMC that shows me list of users logged in and connection type for each user. We have 10 concurrent licenses and sometimes when the # of users logged in exceeds to 10, all users get error message that # of concurrent users exceeded 10.
    For eg. I would expect to see something like this:
    UserName        LoginDateTime          ConnectionType
    user1                03/27/08 08:00:01         Concurrent user
    user2                03/27/08 08:10:11         Concurrent user
    user3                03/27/08 08:05:50         Named user
    user10              03/27/08 08:15:20         Concurrent user
    So, I want to see a summary details of all the users who are logged in is Named User or Concurrent user.
    Thanks,
    Rohini.

  • FWB 00013  "You do not have enough Named User licenses" error

    I have recently installed Edge XI 3.1.  I converted my old 6.5 installation to the new Edge framework and brought over all existing userids.
    In Edge, I am licensed for 55 Named and 20 Concurrent.  I went through the Properties for each and every User I have to count how many were defined as Named - there were only 3, (and they happened to all have been General Supervisors in the old 6.5 version - so they migrated over to XI 3.1 as Named).
    When I try to modify an existing user from Concurrent to Named, (CMC/Users and Groups/Properties tab of the User, under Connection Type), I get the error message, "FWB 00013 You do not have enough Named User licenses to make this user a named user.  You have 55 Named User licenses."
    It thinks I have already used up all of my 55 Named User licenses, but there are only 3 userids that are marked as Named.
    However, when I look at CMC/Settings/View global system metrics, it shows a count of 55 Named Existing User Accounts.
    I need to be able to mark certain users as Named instead of Concurrent, but am not able to due to error.
    Has anyone seen or experienced this?  Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Tim, thanks for your reply - and yes, you're right...
    I heard from SAP Support and was notified that this is a known issue with XI3.1 Edge.  They say an enhancement request has already been raised with the Product Group - although there is no ETA for when a fix will be released.
    The current workaround is to delete the existing concurrent user that you want to be a named user.  After deleting the user, then re-add the same user as a named user.  This works, but is a cumbersome task if you have a lot of named user licenses!
    Additionally, if you want to add a brand-new named user - you still get the same error.  So a brand-new user would need to be created as concurrent, deleted, and re-added as named.  Convoluted?  Yes.
    Thanks again for your input.

  • You do not have enough Named User Licenses...But I do!

    You do not have enough Named User Licenses to make this user a named user. You have 5 Named User Licenses.
    On our Test system, I have five named and five concurrent users.  I've switched all but two to concurrent, and I cannot switch anyone to Named.  I even disabled all the users except two, and I keep getting the error when I try to swith the remaining to Named.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    So as an ugly workaroud, we can delete the user and re-create.
    This is due to a bug in the product which is currently escalated. The next fixpack released should hopefully fix but I'm noit sure which one it's slated for right now.

  • Oracle database Named User License Question

    Oracle database Standard Edition ONE licensing has this requirement:
    Maximum of 2 socket server
    Minimum of 5 user licenses.
    How are these 5 named user licenses calculated ?
    1) Does it depend on how many computers are connecting to the database ?
    2) Can we have application installed on 7 computers, but concurrently only 5 client computers will be connected to the database ?
    3) Are these named user plus licenses floating ?

  • Doubts about named user license in CMC.

    Hi Gurus,
    I'm kinda new to this issue, our client has a named license for only eight users, while testing we realized that a user can logon several times with the same user name in different computers. My questions are, What would be the potential costs that this may entail?, why can I logon several times with the same user?, Is there a way to logon on a computer ending the same user logged on another computer? I have read different posts but I can't find answers to these questions.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Following is explanation for NUL & CUL (named and concurrent user license):
    Named User license:
    Typically associated with specific user names.
    Allow 'physical users', that are named to access the system based, typically each 'physical users' will have their user name and password.
    One named user license is occupied for each physical user accessing the BI Platform, typically this is one user account per 'physical' user.
    A named user can have unlimited sessions if not restricted by CUL.
    e.g you have 2 named user license. you created two users (say A & B). Once A is logged from a machine. Simultaneously, he can login from other computer as A itself. You would not be able to create more than 2 named users in this case.
    Concurrent license:
    Specify the number of sessions that can connect to BusinessObjects Enterprise at the same time.
    Each physical user can consume more than one session, for example the same user could use both the browser on a PC and a mobile Application on a mobile device. This would create 2 sessions for the same physical user.
    Flexible since a small concurrent license can support a large user base (provided all of them don't login simultaneously ).
    Read more, from following SAP Notes:
    1285639 - What license types are available for Business Objects Enterprise?
    1502152 - If Business Objects Enterprise is configured with only 1 Named User License or 1 Concurrent Active License what is the expected result?
    Hope this information helps.

  • Named user licence clarification

    I interpret the Named User Plus licence as follows
    a NUP allows one user to access oracle on one or more servers.
    The user minimum for Standard Edition (and SE1) is 5.
    Therefore, if I have a department of 4 people, accessing oracle systems on three servers, I still only need 5 NUP licences.
    The user minimum for Enterprise Edition is 25 [em]per processor[em]
    Therefore for the same department I need 75 licences (3 x 25, assuming single processor servers)
    Is this correct?

    There is no "query" or "formula" as such.  The number of users can be determined or estimated only by questioning the user team / management.  Oracle doesn't refer to the 'concurrent' users but users who are allowed to access the database.
    An application might have a single database account being used but a large number of users accessing via the application that connects to the database account.  With connection pooling or multi threading the number of processes might be lesser than the number of connected users.  The number of connected users at any time would be lesser than the number of authorized users.
    See the Software Investment Guide at  http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/software-investment-guide/index.html  (there is an explanation of the Named User Plus metric on page 13)  and the Price List at http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/technology-price-list-070617.pdf (the formal definition is on page 10)

  • Anonymous access with named users

    Hi!
    I am trying to set up anonymous access with named users on EP6 SP9. I am using Database only as UME Data storage. I have applied the note #728106, since most of the content is html-pages on the KM.
    I defined the UME settings ume.login.guest_user.uniqueids=anon01,anon02
    ume.login.anonymous_user.mode=1
    Restarted the server and attached user account into roles (which contain only anonymous content).
    I then accessed the page /irj/portal/anonymous (or the longer version /irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.anonymous) and everything was fine. However I wasn't able to get the portal working with /irj/portal/anonymous?j_user=anon02. I always received Portal runtime error. From the logs I saw that the portal tried to access as user anon01.
    When I changed the UME settings into
    ume.login.guest_user.uniqueids=anon02,anon01
    I was able to get the anon02 user account working, but not /irj/portal/anonymous?j_user=anon01. From the logs I saw that the portal tried to access as user anon02.
    Both user account are using the same rule, portal desktop and framework page. I can see the correct (and different) TLN for each user only in the content are I see this error.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Petri

    I need to switch between two named anonymous users.
    It works fine using http://<server>:<port>/irj/portal?j_user=<first_Guest_user>&j_password=<pwd_of_first_Guest_user>&login_submit=true
    Then to switch to the other user I must do a log-off or close the browser and input the other url http://<server>:<port>/irj/portal?j_user=<second_Guest_user>&j_password=<pwd_of_second_Guest_user>&login_submit=true
    I developed a servlet to switch the users using IAuthentication (method forceLogoffUser) and then redirect to the respective url. But when I call forceLogoffUser method I get a login screen and the script stop executing. Passing 'returnURL' parameter  did not work.
    Parameters:
    req - HttpServletRequest
    resp - HttpServletResponse
    returnURL - url to use to logon again.
    Is there a way to switch automaticaly between the two named anonymous users?

  • BPM Automated Activity: Technical User vs Named User

    Hi Folks,
    I've implemented a number of working BPM prototypes and now our customers are so interested they want us to implement a number of productive solutions for different process scenarios. Technically we all know that for the automated activity we can either use a logical destination or a service group which in both cases will mean a number of alternatives for authentication to the backend to execute the service operation in the automated activity. In our scenarios so far we have tested both approaches i.e. Service Group and Logical destination using a technical user for both cases (For SG, technical user in the physical system assigned to the SG)
    My question is are you using a technical user to authenticate to the backend in either case or are you forwarding credentials of a named user involved in the specific process instance to be authenticated to the backend and in case of the latter how do you achieve this (apart from ensuring this user also exists in the backend)? The dilemma is if (by SAP agreement) we can use a technical user then what (apart from our ethics) stops us from only getting BPM licences and using a technical user(s) for most of our data maintenance transactions and by extension what prevents the same approach being used via non-SAP BPM tools (such as AquaLogic). I know there may be different arrangements specific to an organisation's license agreement and relationship with SAP but what is the general approach out there
    Thanks for sharing your feedabck

  • Why do I have to contact my reseller to have trial named-user licences (that neither I or my reseller requested) removed from my CC account?

    After buying 50 device licenses for Dreamweaver, 50 named-user trial licences were added to my CC account (along with the 50 device licences). The trials expired after 1 month and now the team management interface reports payment issues and that that I must contact my reseller to remove the named-user licences. The reseller did not ask for these named-user licences to be added and neither did I. How do I get these named-user licences removed? Adobe support tell me that I have to raise an order with my reseller (for the licences that I don't want) and then cancel  the order to have the named-user licences removed. That solution sounds stupid frankly so we won't be doing that.

    I checked & found that since it is an indirect purchase, you will have to contact reseller to get the seats removed. Reseller needs to place zero value order & return the order which will remove the trial seats.

  • Confusion over named users

    If I have 10 Oracle servers and 20 people accessing them, how many named user licenses do I need to buy? Do I need 20 named users, or do I need 10x20 = 200 named users?

    Check this note,
    http://oraclestore.oracle.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?section=11365&media=os_user_minimums
    * Oracle Database Standard Edition can only be licensed on servers that have a maximum capacity of 4 sockets. If licensing by Named User Plus, the minimum is 5 Named User Plus licenses.Additionally, it may be licensed on a single cluster of servers supporting up to a maximum of four sockets .
    Also, the license can't shared among servers. You need to license each server properly.

  • Named User Licensing by Developer or Emailed User getting report?

    If we get named user licenses for BI Publisher for use against custom tables,
    so 5 users can log in and build/run reports...
    .. and if those users schedule reports with different parameters,
    and the report outputs are emailed daily to 20 other folk as PDFs
    ( who never go to BI Publisher web page or log into BI Publisher )...
    ... does Oracle count this as requiring 5 named users or 25 named users?
    Someone is telling me it's 25 named licenses we'd need?
    TIA

    Hi,
    Did you ever find an answer on this?
    I'm currently investigating a prospective use of BI Publisher, and this would make a significant difference as to my recommendation to implement it or not...
