Hi Ingo,
I've noticed that in your step by step manual, you are using BO XI 3.0. So I created a Virtual PC with Windows Server 2003, and installed BO XI 3.0, SAP GUI 7.0, Java Connector, BO Integration Kit for SAP.
Without any errors nor issues, now I see "SAP' in CMC's Authendication (not the login). So now I can assume it's because BO Integration Kit only supports BO XI 3.0 and consider it solved?
However, I still get the same error as my 1st post:
3. I was able to create a new connection in Designer to connect to SAP BW, and select one of the existing cubes. After uploading the Universe, I created a new Web Intelligence document and dragged couple of objects into Result Objects. After clicking Run Query, I get the following:
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query SELECT { Measures.0BBP_BILITM } ON COLUMNS FROM $0BBP_C01 failed to execute with the error See RFC trace file or SAP system log for more details. (WIS 10901)
or
A database error occured. The database error text is: The supplied XML is not valid. [0COMP_CODE].[LEVEL00]. (WIS 10901)
Any ideas?

BSP Exception: Access to URL /irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.ip.bi.web.portal.integration.launcher;jsessionid= not allowed

Dear all,
I've created out BI system in our new Portal installation and tested the connection. Everything works fine. I added the certificate of the portal to STRUSTSSO2 in BI ABAP and assigned SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW to my Account.in BI. If I open the iView from the portal I get a BSP Exception with the message:
The used connection by the iView is to the ABAP-Stack of the BI-system not to the JAVA-Stack. Is that correct?
BSP Exception: Der Zugriff auf die URL /irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.ip.bi.web.portal.integration.launcher;jsessionid=IDBYatWIpt_pX4uc52ChoZqMWkm1RAFW2qsA_SAP ist untersagt.
What can be the problem/reason?
Thanks!

Hi Gerrit
In both places you have to provide a authorization access to the end users then only it will work. because your are already said that in SAP_All & SAP_New working fine
Back end BI system access as per the word document as pasted the link

For SAP portal you have to create iview's assign the same to end user

Access denied:com.sap.ip.bi.web.portal.integration.launcher

Hi Friends,
I have installed a Standalone Portal ( EP, EP core, BI Java) , configured LDAP as data source and imported the Portal content from Source system . ( in Development, Quality, Production)
I completed all configuration and testing completed.
But the portal user created with customized iviews roles are working fine in Development and Production.
But ....Access denied:com.sap.ip.bi.web.portal.integration.launcher error is encountered in Quality system.
In QAS system, while installation I have selected EP, EP core as Usage type.. and after Insatllation I have installed additional Usage tye BI JAVA using JSPM
Whereas in DEV, PRD ( EP, EP core, BI Java) were taken as Usage types while installation only..
Above reason may effect the Test user for access denied error.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Venkat

Ramana,
It looks like a permissions issue, right click on the system created for BI under System Admin-System Configuration-System landscape and open the permissions and ensure you have the everyone group added there and enduser checked.
Good Luck!

Com.sap.ip.bi.web.portal.integration.launcher slow in Portal

Hi experts,
com.sap.ip.bi.web.portal.integration.launcher is consistently showing as one of the slowest-running in our NW2004s SP16 Portal (non-Federated). Even the report variable screen is slow to load especially on first-time access. E.g., 31.8 seconds first time, 5.9 seconds second access in same session.
But what is curious is that it sometimes the variable screen load time goes as low as 350ms if you keep trying within the same session.
We've done the obvious - patching the BI Web App components, tuning the portal & Java runtime, checking the JCOs, load-balancing, tweaked the BI backend... but without being able to impact the performance of this application substantially.
So I would value any suggestions for improvement! Any tables we can cache? Any SAP Notes to shed some light on this area? Any Portal settings to tweak?
Thanks, Marc

Hi Marc,
Slow point are to com.sap.ip.bi.web.portal.integration.launcher and
JCO connection. Would you please check CPIC_MAX_CONV in SAP Note 314530?
-Regarding of BI java on Web performance, would you please check the
SAP Note 1022930?
SAP Note 1025307 is a summary notes for performance on Web.
Do you use antivirus software with a javascript scanner, but still would you please also check the SAP Note 983066 because sometime this also may responsible for slow performance.
SAP Note 948158: Performance problems/measuring BI Java Web runtime
One more thing would like to highlight:
In first acess it's slow because OLAP cache was not in use, but after the first execution it's loading the variable from the cache so it's comperatively fast then the previous acess.
Let me know, incase any confusion..
Thank you,
Tilak

NW Business Client and accessing SAP services via web pages

Hi all,
We currently use Business Connector to access our SAP environment via web pages. We looked at NW eSOA but decided against implementing it. Does Business Client offer anything that helps access SAP apps and data from a custom web site better the Business Connector?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Tom
I am assuming you are using SAP Business Connector in your landscape to connect to back end SAP systems from your web applications. Your question now is that if business client can let you access SAP data for your web pages instead of the business connector. Point to not here is that Business client, as the name implies, is just a client with single point of access for SAP screens. That means, you can access traditional SAP transactions, WebDynpro screens, BSP pages, Portal screens etc in one single client. In very raw terms, Business client acts (or replaces) as your browser. It is not going to provide you any out of the box integration with backend system rather just act as a window. You options at this point are
1) Use your existing webpages but instead of getting data from the backend system through business connector, get the data using webservices.
2) Use PI as middleware tool and get the data from backend SAP system
3) Stay were you are but deal with high cost of ownership.
Thanks

How do I create rotating news stories on a web page?

I need to create rotating news stories on a Home page -- where there is an image with text that users can click to access the story they want to read. I have been using Dreamweaver MX for years and was forced to switch to Dreamweaver CS4 when I started a new job. I am NOT a developer and am having a hard time getting used to CS4 - which is designed (in my humble opinion) for developers. Can you create rotating news stories functionality in MX? A link to a tutorial would help. Or a book that gives very straightforward, step by step instructions using MX (preferred) or CS4.
Thank so much for any light you can shed on this, for me, perplexing topic.
All the best,
Carolyn

Simple method: Put your news items on seperate pages. Add links from parent page to the respective article pages.
MX is too old to support Spry widgets, but CS4 does.
Look at Spry Data Sets:

CSS Flexbox - a new layout method for web pages

Hi,
As you may all know, css flexbox is a new layout method for laying out your web page, and with Firefox releasing version 22 within the next few days, (should have been yesterday) it is now no longer hidden behind browser settings. Add to this the fact that all desktop browser except IE10 and Safari 5 & 6, no longer require the use of a vendor prefix, and that http://html5please.com/ simply say ’USE’, flexbox is now finally a viable layout alternative, especially for responsive layouts.
Flexbox has been available on all Android and iOS devices, (and any device using the webkit engine, e.g. new blackberry’s and Kindle Fire devices) since they were first release.
To help find problems, and provide help in using flexbox, we would be grateful if you would experiment and provide feedback in the use of flexbox for layouts.
To help you get started a video tutorial, (with files to download) and examples of layouts, (more to be added next week) and tips & tricks to help with some of the more common problems have been provided at http://flexboxlayouts.com/. This site will also be updated to provide you with a list of problems and hopefully the solutions to those problems, so that you will have a ’one stop’ reference site for using flexbox.
If you have any tips in using flexbox, or a flexbox layout that you would like added to the site, then you can use the ’Submit’ email address on the http://flexboxlayouts.com/ site.
For more info on the css flexbox specifications see -
http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/CR-css3-flexbox-20120918/
or if you just want to know what property is supported by which browser/device -
http://flexboxlayouts.com/pdfs/flexbox%20browser%20Properties%20.pdf
Note to regular contributors & moderators:
As I only have time to visit and help in the forum for a few hours per week, should you find any flexbox problems unanswered then please let me know via email.
PZ

Hi Al
Yes I know, and this is why I am asking people to experiment with flexbox.
The fix for IE10 is to give the right hand sidebar, (or the content) a larger flex-grow property, the bug is caused by the flex shorthand property not recognizing % values, and using the flex-basis as a set width instead of a preferred size.
I have logged the bug, (and many others) with the various browser bug bases.
This and other bugs, do have 'fixes', so I hope users will experiment with flexbox and provide feedback.
Flexbox is no different than any other css feature, "we can only find the problems in actual use".
Strangely enough, I have found the most consistent to use is the old 2009 implementation on mobile devices, (no doubt iOS7 will change all that ).

Is it possible to create a web page to launch Reflection for UNIX and Digital program using Dreamweaver CS6?

I am planning to create a web page that could launch Reflection for UNIX and Digital program as part of my project in my working area.
Is this possible?
I am a beginner in using DW. I am still studying how to properly use Dreamweaver thinking that I could provide the requirement of my project.
Thank you for your comments.

This is a question for Attachmate, the maker of Reflection, not Adobe, the maker of Dreamweaver.
Dreamweaver is a tool, not a technology. It builds applications using HTML and Javascript that run on web servers using the HTTP protocol. So I think the question to as Attachmate is:
Can Reflection be launched from an apache webserver using HTML, PHP or Javascript?

New help topic - live web page

how do I make a new help topic be a live web page? I just want the live page to display in the chm window. Any help is appreciated. thanks.

I actually did this from the HTML View by adding:
<object data="http://pages.alteryx.com/rs/alteryx/images/StartPage.html"
width="800" height="800">
<embed src=http://pages.alteryx.com/rs/alteryx/images/StartPage.html width="600" height="400"> </embed> Error: You are not connected to the internet. </object>
But is there a better way to do this?

On launch receive message"The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" but on pressing "Retry" the web page is launched OKWhen

When I select a website the message that appears is "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."The option to Retry is offered.On pressing the Retry butto thhe web page appears.

Auto query based on set of books where web page is launched.

I have created a simple search page in the OA Framework. What I need to do is that when this page is launched, I need to do auto execute query of VO based on set_of_book of responsibility so that it displays only USD records if responsibility is in USD book. Can you give me an idea how I can achieve this requirement?

Set the required where clause and its value on the VO associated with the results table and invoke executeQuery api on the VO.
