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.

  • One Portal - multiple URl's, orgs, groups

    Hi Forum
    I am in the process of doing a proof of concept for using Web Space Server to manage a large spectrum of diverse communities, hosted within a single portal. One could describe this as a large virtual organisation.
    The basic requirements are roughly the following:
    1. The portal will serve multiple small organisations and interest groups, with each org or interest group having its own landing page.
    2. Each landing page will have its own unique URL i.e. myspot1.com, myspot2.com etc. and the web server need to redirect each URL to its appropriate landing page.
    3. The look and feel of each landing page will likely be unique in terms layout etc. thus need to be customised for each instance.
    4. Web Space will be used in conjunction with Glassfishv2.1 and MySQL. The server will also run the amp stack with Apache on port 80 for other purposes.
    5. This portal will serve as a core foundation shared amongst various organisations, groups etc to enable collaboration across organisational and community boundaries with least effort form a user perspective to engage wherever need to.
    From playing around with both Liferay and Sun Webspace Server, it seems that these platforms can serve as a core to manage access rights, permissions, organisations, groups, etc.
    My immediate needs are to better understand the following:
    1. What is the best practice to route URL's to its unique landing page prior to client login?
    2. From a webserver perspective, what are the options to route URL requests to the appropriate Web Space "entry points" i.e. would one set this up in Apache, Glassfish, or Web Space and how?
    3. What are the options to customise each landing page to have its own unique look and feel?
    Any comments or pointers to documentation will be greatly appreciated.

    1. What is the best practice to route URL's to its unique landing page prior to client login?What you need is virtual hosting.
    See http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/High%20Availability%20Guide#section-High+Availability+Guide-TheBigPicture for details.
    2. From a webserver perspective, what are the options to route URL requests to the appropriate Web Space "entry points" i.e. would one set this up in Apache, Glassfish, or Web Space and how?See my first comment. It can be handled in the web server(tomcat)
    3. What are the options to customise each landing page to have its own unique look and feel?Each community can have its own look and feel.
    See http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7054/ghycy?a=view to know how to do this.

  • Multiple ESS's in one Portal connected to different backend systems?

    Hi,
    We have two backend systems installed.
    We have one portal.
    We want to create a second copy of the ESS Portal content connected to the the second backend.
    Datawise this is not a problem.
    But what about the JCo's and the Homepage Framework?
    The WebDympro application seems to look for two specific JCo (for example SAP_R3_HumanResources and ...MetaData) and then both copies of ESS want to use this. Is it not possible to have each copy of ESS use it own JCo's and connect to its own backend system for the Homepage Frameworks?
    Thanks,
    Adriaan

    Adriaan,
    Its NOT possible to even talk to different clients in same backend system because you cannot duplicate the JCos and while creating them you need to specify the system and client details.
    Also it uses a system alias which also has to be unique.
    Per my knowledge one portal instance can talk to only backend client and to talk to another backend / client you will need to create a new instance within the Portal.
    This [help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/82/76a2406546ba15e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm] talks sometihng on multiple backend support. I am not much aware about it but see if it helps you.

  • 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:

  • Multiple rows in BI Infocube/or DSO for one row in source system

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a typical scenario where in I have a ztable in R/3 system and it contains some custome transaction data.
    The business scenario wants it to split into multiple records in BI ( ofcourse keys for each records in BI would be unique). Either infocube or DSO can be used to store the data in BI.
    Is it possible to do that. As far as my knowledge goes( I have limited BI exposure) one record from source system ( read row) is transformed into one record ( row) in BI in simple transformation.
    Please give me some rough idea if its possible how can we achieve it.
    I know we can write an ABAP program and create a ztable to do it and use the ztable as source for incube/dso. But I want to use this as last option.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    An ODS will be better.
    Use a start routine.
    data-package --> package2
    create your own package with your rules.
    update.insert.modify.append....
    package2 --> data_package
    and from 1 row, you create n row as your rules would like..

  • Multiple SRM Systems One SRM-MDM Catalog?

    Hi
    I'm currently upgrading our SRM 5.0 to SRM 7.01 with SRM-MDM Catalog 7.01.  Is it possible to use one SRM-MDM Catalog in our non-production environment and connect multiple SRM systems to it?
    For example our sandbox, development and QA SRM 7.01 systems would all connect to the same SRM-MDM Catalog 7.01.
    Thanks.
    Neil

    Hi,
    for non-production use and if it is just a catalog without custom coding running I see no problem in using one MDM server for multiple SRM systems (especially sharing one for sandboxes and dev). It is a setup I have seen multiple times and it worked always without problems.
    You should set up different repositories for each SRM system so that you don't interfere with each others data (i.e. suppliers or other lookups tied to SRM).
    You have to keep in mind that you have to upgrade all systems together. But you can always use separate MDM servers during the upgrade process and then consolidate onto one server when the upgrade is done.
    If you are running custom coding with your MDM catalog I would recommend having a separate MDM system for the QA SRM in order to be closer to the production set-up when testing your custom solution.
    Regards,
    Martin

  • Multiple SAP Systems In One MSCS Cluster

    We have installed a NW 7.0 EHP abap stack in a MSCS Cluster with 2 nodes.
    This was installed as a standard Cluster Install.
    We have now higlighted a requirement to install a 2nd (Java ) instance in this Cluster Group.
    The NW 7.0 EHP1 documentation and Note 1321854 shows that multiple SAP systems in one  MSCS cluster is supported.
    The documentation, however, is not clear if the 2nd instance can be installed when the 1st instance was installed without the preperations for Multiple Systems.
    There are no further documentation or guidelines to help.
    Has anyone come across this situation or managed to install 2 SAP instances in one Cluster Group based on Windows 2003, SQL Server 2005.

  • Can one physical system have multiple logical systems? if yes  why?

    can one physical system have multiple logical systems? if yes  why?
    Regards
    sriman

    Logical system is an ALIAS name for a physical LOCATION. so we may have more than 1 logical system name for a physical location.
    eventhough its allowed,but normally we dont do that.
    you can do this in FILE transaction.

  • Multiple development systems wth one Production system ? How to control ?

    We are currently upgrading a classical landscape (Development - Quality Assurance - Production) from 4.6c into ECC6
    A parallel HR project will start as soon as a first ECC6 version is available to develop separately a new "pay" strategy to be in production on 01/2008 but in the meantime the 'old' HR model will continue on the basis landscape untill that date.
    Does any of you have a positive experience of  such situations where multiple development systems are living in parallel and must finally deliver one single production ?
    Did you mastered the transport strategy via SAP tools (Sap solution manager) or other techniques ?
    Thanking you in advance for sharing your experience.

  • Assignment of One Solution ManagerDiagnostics Agent to Multiple SAP Systems

    Dear Experts,
    according to the Powerpoint presentation attached to SAP Note 1365123, one single Solution Manager Diagnostics Agent can be used for E2E RCA with multiple SAP systems running on its physical host.
    I have installed one Diagnostics Agent on a server where three ABAP systems are running. Each ABAP system on this server has been installed under an alias (i.e. all these SAP systems are reachable under the same IP address. No virtual servers with individual IP addresses have been defined.). I want to configure each ABAP system for E2E RCA. When running the Managed Systems Setup procedure for E2E RCA, I am not able to assign the diagnostics agent to more than one of these ABAP systems - after the first system has been configured for E2E RCA, the entry for the Diagnostics Agent on this particular server is no longer available in the drop-down list of Diagnostics Agents when configuring the next system.
    Is my understanding of the presentation mentioned above wrong, or am I missing a trick here? How can I assign the Diagnostics Agent to all three SAP systems that are running on the same physical host?
    Details about the environment:
    SAP Solution Manager: SAP EHP1 for Solution Manager 7.0 (SP Level 24)
    Diagnostics agent version : 7.01.7.0.20100326100205
    Thank you for your time,
    Rainer Walter

    Hello,
    Have you followed all the rules?
    Rule 1
    Consider the diagnostic agent as a standard SAP system
    Rule 2
    Install one Diagnostic Agent per host (Physical or Virtual) (You mentioned you don't have virtual hosts)
    Rule 3
    Each Diagnostic Agent gets mapped to the SMSY repository using the server name key
    Rule 4
    Do not install a Diagnostic agent on a host that only run databases or SAP Central Services
    Rule 5
    An Agent can only conenct to one single Solution Manager System
    If you install multiple Diagnostic Agents on the same host, each one needs to be connecting to a different Soltuion Manager system
    Rule 6
    Choose the adequate diagnostic agent installer/version
    Rule 7
    In a  switch over scenario diagnostic agent must move with their respective virtual host and managed components
    These are the rules attached to SAP Note 1365123. You need to comply to the rules.
    If you have multiple agents ont he same host, then they need to conenct to different solution manager systems....according to the rules. One agent per physical host is one of the rules...specifically rule #2. This is my take, and it seems pretty clear here.
    Regards,
    Paul

  • Connecting One process Server to Multiple SAP Systems

    Hi Experts,
    We have a licensed version of the SAP CPS with the Process server limit parameter set to 4, which means we are limited to 4 process server as per my understanding. But when we create a SAP system the process server and the respective Queue is automatically created. SO that means we can create a max number of 4 SAP systems with 4 process servers!!
    Or is there a way we can connect one process server with multiple SAP systems ?
    Thanks,
    Eric.

    Yes - Process server limit parameter set to 4 means your CPS environment can start jobs in 4 SAP systems only.
    Maybe "SAP Business Automation Enabler (BAE) Connectors" could be useful to you in your situation.
    - Check the CPS admin guide for more information on BAE connector.

  • Multiple XI systems on one host - problems

    Hi,
    We have a problem when installing a second XI system on the same host.
    Symptoms are that the J2EE engine of the first running installation does not work anymore, all java related items either hang or do not start.
    The abap stack runs as normal. We do get a lot of shortdumps that say that the programs in the RFC connections are not registered. We do not know whether this is cause or result of the problem.
    Our Visual administrator does not start anymore as well.
    We shut down the newly installed system of course but this does not seem to help.
    Anyone have a clue?

    Hi Chris,
    Im particulary interested in the behaviour of SLD in this kind of infrastructure.
    Does your XI environment uses only one or multiple SLD instances?
    Do you have access to all your defined business and tech. systems/objects across the XI environment in SLD?
    Thanks,

  • Multiple SAP Systems with one Unique ID

    Hi,
    SAP recommend to have <sidadm> and <sapserviceSID> user account for each system. 
    Currently we create domain users for each SAP System.  We are installing many test servers and trying to see if I can avoid creating domain user account for each system and use only one account to administer all test sap systems.
    Just wanted to know if there is any way to have one domain SIDADM user id and one domain SAPService user account to run multiple test SAP systems? 
    Thanks,

    Hi,
      Multiple test system you have different SID. so you must use different SAPserviceSID user. But you can use one SIDADM user with the proper permission with other test systems.
    I have used in OS400 environment with single SIDADM user id.
    please check with users with permission sap notes or document.
    But SAP not recommanded this.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Multiple SAP systems on One database

    Hello,
    We are planing to install multiple SAP systems like SM, ERP on one database with multiple DB SIDs, it means each SAP system has its own Oracle instance. We know MCOD has only one DB SID (one oracle instance) for multiple SAP systems.
    Is it possible to set up the landscape like this? Is it supported by SAP?
    Can any body advice?
    Thanks,

    Technically, it is possible.
    But SAP Does NOT support it. The only method to install one set of binaries (one ORACLE_HOME) that is supported by SAP is to use MCOD (all components are installed in one Database)
