Portal license Query.

Hello,
In our system we are using ABAP as data source.
So when ever we will cerate a user in Portal it will be automatically have login credentials in R/3 as well.
So how does SAP calculates the licenses for Portal and R/3.
Are they calculated separately ?
In our case there can never be a case where User is only existing in R/3 or only in Portal.
User will exist in both systems. As Data source UME is same.
Only will be able to access services based on roles assigned.

Hello,
normally licences are calculated per user and the users classification. So the user can have multiple accounts in separate SAP-systems under the same customer number and is only counted once with the highest classification.
For details and to be sure plase contact your SAP sales representative.
regards
Christian

Issue with Broadcasting and Publish query to Portal from query Designer

Dear all,
I have created a standard template ZWT_STANDARD_TEMPLATE in WAD and I have added this for Adhoc Analysis in 'Set Standard Web templated' RSCUSTV27.
For Broadcasting I have added 0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE70.
I have problems with my broadcasting as well as publishing the Query in Portal.
When I use a Broadcast to Email - it opens a new window with my standard template(ZWT_STANDARD_TEMPLATE ) I have added. No data though.
Same thing happens for publishing too...When I publish the query to portal from Query Designer or WAD it takes me to the same window with my standard web template. No data though.
I think both are related to the same issue. Its with broadcasting.
What is the default template for Broadcasting in NW2004s? Below is the url I have included when I do it from Query designer. Its actually starting the Command - START_BROADCASTER70 but I dont know if it has to do a SOURCE_QUERY=ZCOPA_C03_FAST_PAYABLES. Could anyone compare it with your urls
http://pgdep00:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex3x?system=SAP_BW&CMD=START_BROADCASTER70&SOURCE_QUERY=ZCOPA_C03_FAST_PAYABLES&START_WIZARD=X&DISTRIBUTION_TYPE=PCD_EXPORT
This is the url for publishing from WAD
http://fndef00:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex3x?system=SAP_BW&CMD=START_BROADCASTER70&SOURCE_TEMPLATE=ZWT_FAST_PAYABLES&START_WIZARD=X&DISTRIBUTION_TYPE=PCD_EXPORT
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Unable to choose a folder while publishing to portal from query designer

Hi,
I'm trying to publish a report to portal from query designer using 'export to portal' option. I'm having two problems here and may be they are related.
Problem 1 - When I click on the dialog box to choose a pcd folder name, i get the following warning...
"The BEx Web application does not correspond to the domain with which the folder selection dialog is called Another cause of the problem may be that BI and portal server are not running in the same domain Notify the system administrator or maintain table RSPORT_T_PORTAL and take note of the server configuration section in SAP note 444247"
BEx reports created from portal are working fine. The portal and BI are running on same domain and RSPORT_T_PORTAL has FQDN. What am I missing here?
Problem 2 - When i say ok and continue, it gives me the option to choose the folder. When I pick a folder (gave complete authorization to this folder), and click on Transfer to continue, nothing happens. The button doesn't respond. Technically it should copy the folder path to the previous dialog box from where I should be able to publish.
Could somebody please help me with this problem?
Thank You,
Ashwin

Hello Ashwin,
I would start with a very simple thing: add the domains (URLs) to your trusted sites list in the Internet Browser.
Maybe it solves both problems.
Kind Regards,

How to read the output of 'tarantella license query' command?

I'm trying to track my license usage (to better determine when to buy new licenses, and to track usage over time).
When I issue the 'tarantella license query command, this is typical of the output I see:
[root@sgdserver ~]# /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella license query
License usage at: Mon Feb 11 14:03:53 EST 2008
Type                In use / Total
Base                6      / 230
UNIX                4      / 230
Mainframe           0      / 230
Windows             0      / 230
AS/400              0      / 230
[root@sgdserver ~]#What is the above saying? Is it saying that I am using 10 licenses out of my 230, or am I just using 6 licenses? In other words, do I add up the numbers or just use the highest one? Or do I just have to worry about the 'Base' license number?
Thanks.

The base license is the number of users that are logged into a webtop.
From there you count then connectivity type.
So you have 6 webtop licenses out of 230 consumed and of those 4 users have launched UNIX sessions out of 230 you have licensed.
hope this helps.

Oracle data lookup - Licensing query

Hi,
Not finding the right forum to post this query, so i hope the coffee shop folks can be helpful
We are running SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise with Oracle 9.2.0 as the backend database (on Windows Server 2003 OS).
Our Oracle license is embedded with SAP i.e., not acquired separately.
For business needs we intend to make read only queries to the backend database (Oracle database lookup) programmatically through Microsoft's SharePoint portal.
For the access methods, one option is to use Business Data Catalog - BDC of sharepoint which queries the Oracle database directly (using xml).
Would appreciate comments on whether this is authorized or we need any additional component / license?
I have already noted the restrictions mentioned in note 581312, particularly point 3 which speaks about SAP provided Oracle license
Thank you
Zubair

Hi Jurjen / Hi Matt
Thanks for the responses. These have been very helpful
A couple of followup thoughts:
1. Actually, the current need i am trying to fill is to read the 'reports to' relationship from SAP so as to fill the manager field/attribute in the Sharepoint User profile. I understand that the right way to do this is through standard interfaces of SAP like RFC/BAPI with the authorization checks in place but unfortunately, my sharepoint developer is unable to use RFC with Business Data Catalog (xml based). Says only a database query is possible. Perhaps he is wrong and i am trying to confirm this. If you have any thoughts on it, please do share.
2.
>If I remember correctly even read only access can muck up the db statistics and so have an adverse effect on the applications.
So this means, database performance logs such as ST02 & ST04 may show incorrect information and it might also have an adverse impact on performance right? or anything else too.
Many thanks

Oracle 10g Licensing Query

Hi,
I have a query with regards to Oracle 10g licensing for additional options (OLAP, Data Mining, Partitioning, Spatial & Database Vault) on top of enterprise edition.
Even though i am not using any of the options, i have them installed along with enterprise edition. Do i still need to pay for these additional options?
From 10g, you can always prove to oracle that any of the features/options are not in use via DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS.
We are using shared infrastructure for hosting many application databases. Today we have a application that uses only partitioning, but tommorrow we might have to create a database within the same oracle home that uses OLAP & data mining as well.
would be interested in knowing what is oracle stand on this i.e. we pay for additional options only if we are using them or we pay just because they are installed regardless of we are using them or not??
Thanks & Regards
Chandar

Chandark,
You need to pay licenses if you are using it commercially and if it is installed and you haven't paid for it then how would you stop anyone not using it because its not paid but its there. This will be against your contractual agreement and they may fine you or you have to pay for the options. So I recommend not to install options you haven't paid for to avoid any issues. But if you are using for learning purpose and not commercial then you are good. You can further contact local Oracle Support or local Sales rep for more information
Hope this helps, regards

BI Statistics cannot be captured in Portal or Query Designer

We're experiencing inconsistent behavior of the BI Statistics capturing mechanism, possibly after our recent upgrade to SAPKW70015. It appears that only queries run via the Bex Analyzer are correctly captured in log tables (RSDDSTAT), whereas queries run via the Portal are not (instead, we get unknown entries with object name RSDRI, rather than query/infoprovider names in the log tables).
We've developed a very sophisticated application to report on BI usage ( top n queries by infoarea, by infoprovider, by CPU, by DB-records, by OLAP-records, all queries used by a user etc) and to find out who is using which query, as well as associated resource consumption, at any given time, in real time.
This bug completely throws us off balance. We can no longer monitor query acitivites on the Portal; nor can we trust the BI statistics we've collected in the last two years. Another BI installation has reported the same problem to SAP. SAP seems to think upgrade to SP17, which could be a major step, will fix the problem. Is there anything we can do in the mean time to fix this problem without having to wait for upgrade to SP17 ? Is there an OSS note on this issue ?
(we have SAP_BW Release 700 SP15; SAP_ABA/SAP_BASIS Release 700 Level 13; SEM-BW Releae 602 Level 1; ST-PI 2005_1_700 level 5; PI_BASIS 2006_1_700 level 2; ST-A/PI 01H_BC0700 level 0)
Suggestions will be very much appreciated.

Hi,
If the BW statistics are not recorded for a Web Report, this may be because recording was not activated for at least one query (or its InfoProvider). Depending on the calculation sequence, the BW statistics may also not be written for the other queries. The solution is to activate the BW statistics for all of the Web Report InfoProviders.
Check oss notes

Hope it helps.

How to do a Portal License count?

Hi All
We are currently running Portal 7.00 SP13 and it is that time of year where we have to perform our license count. In our ECC6 system we can just going into SU01 and get the information here, however I am not sure if this is the same process in the portal!
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,
I guess the Portal licences are free with the enterprise suite unless ofcourse you have ESS/MSS for which the count is defined in the SU01 ( licence tab, there is a different licence type for ESS users) in R3.

License query

Hi,
I have a query about licensing. This should be the realm of the suppliers, but I'm finding it hard to get an answer without going off and having a meeting wherein we commit to a purchase.
I know most vendors with an "educational" license, allow this license for use in all non for profit applications (such as Microsoft). With the development license for Oracle being "free", what is the status of a "not for profit" license, for 11G database, if in fact such a thing exists?

The latest signature release (as of this writing) is S600, released October 5, 2011.
You need to be running E4 release of software to have these installed.
See if you have S600 on your sensor (show ver), if you don't then you do not have automatic signature updates working without a valid license.(as expected)

Hi,
+Would appreciate comments on whether this is authorized or we need any additional Oracle component / license. +
This should be raised with the SAP Portal, as per your scenario Oracle is not going to support you directly in any case. SAP is going to support you. You can raise SAP Service resquest and can check with them. anyway you'll not be allowed to get lisence seperatly for your existing SAP Database.

SQL Server 2008 R2 Licensing Query

Hi,
If i have SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise License key for a single instance and I am installing all the shared features from the setup. Then is my license counted as being used or no?
Or is it only used when i install Database Engine?
Please mark the answer as helpful if i have answered your query. Thanks and Regards, Kartar Rana

No, a separate license is not required for
Management Tools.
However, any device that has SQL Server tools or technologies installed must have a valid SQL Server license.
Hope this clears your question..

SAP Crystal Dashboard licensing query

Hello All,
We need to purchase Xcelsius license, SAP Accounts rep has provided following link for online store where I can see Departmental edition, Personal edition and dashboard viewing licenses.
http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/en_US/DisplayCategoryProductListPage/ThemeID.29254600/categoryID.57065800/parentCategoryID.57065700
My question is we already have SAP BO premium 10 CPU licenses, we just need dashboard feature to be added on top of it. We need 3 dashboard developer licenses and a large audience should view the live dashboards.
Please suggest which license should we go with, as per my understanding we dont require viewing license as we already have 10 CPU premium license with which we can use all the features.
I know this query should be asked to the accounts rep but unfortunately I am not getting proper response from them and we need to purchase this ASAP.
Any idea would be of great help.
Thanks,
Sohel

Hi Sohel,
I look after pricing and licensing for SAP BusinessObjects BI.
BOE Premium does not provide for Xcelsius Dashboard viewing rights. BOE Premium includes Crystal Reports, Webi and OLAP Intelligence viewing rights. Xcelsius was acquired after the release of BOE Premium and it is an add-on to that license model.
To view dashboards integrated with BO Premium, you will need the Xcelsius Interactive Viewing license.
Note that this is a legacy license model. Current customers can purchase more of this but we have been positioning the BI Suite to new customers since 2011.

Distributed Portal Environment Query

We currently have a centralised G6 portal environment in which we have a single Portal server and another hosting Collab.
We have a requirement which might lead to us having to provide another portal server and collab server at one of our remote sites, although in another domain, that as a result will extend the reach of our current portal. The portal and collab databases would remain at the central location so these remote 'services' would need access back to them we assume. Currently there is also a Firewall on the WAN between these 2 sites.
We have tried to find other articles on distributed Portal configurations to see if this is possible but have not really come up with anything so I am hoping other users in this forum might help.
The main points we are trying to understand initially are:
1) Firstly can you distribute portal &/or Collab servers in this way?
2) What ports would the firewall need to allow for the remote Portal server to talk back to the central SQL*Server database.
3) Can you distribute Collab Server across 2 servers in this way and if so what do they need to talk back to the central database. The requirement is to be able to share the projects across the 2 collab servers so that users connecting to the central server can collaborate with those connecting to the remote server.
4) We are assuming that authentication from the remote site into the central AD domain will be OK as we can host the AD AWS centrally.
Any input appreciated,
Ross

Geoff,
Thanks for the prompt reply and I can understand why my questions sound slightly confusing as the scenario is not easy to explain in this medium.
What we currently have is 2 portal 'environments', one running internally and another running on another network but which is linked to our own. What we are exploring is whether we can consolidate this into a single environment.
We need to maintain at least one portal server in the other network, which is effectively a DMZ as you imply, for non technical reasons primarily. But our understanding is that this will need to talk back to the portal database which is on our internal network behind a firewall hence the query about firewall ports.
This 'remote' portal also currently hosts a Collab server so we were wondering if their was benefit in keeping a collab server 'local' to the remote users to avoid network traffic. From your reply I conclude this might not be sensible, or even possible, so perhaps we need to migrate these Collab objects back into the internal portal's collab environment and let the remote sites users access it from there.
If this is the case then for improved availability we would probably want to consider Clustering Collab so are you aware of any reference docs on this side of things?
Thanks,
Ross

Portal URL Query String

I am creating a Portal component and I want to catch the query string passed thru Portal url.
