Portal sizing -- BI query rendering.

Hi
We have a BI Nw04s system running on stack 11. And the same level is the Portal system.
All these days, when someone clicks on an i view which invloves BI query rendering, it will happen inside BI. Now in Nw04s we have EPC also. Now we are planning to push the query rendering part of BI to Portal system.
We have few thousands of users in BI. And if the query rendering part alone is moved to portal system, we need know how much we need to increase the system requirements of EP. Like how much should we increase the Heap size?RAM?
Can any one help? I was unable to carry out a regular sizing process. Please help on how much of RAM, CPU and Heap we should increase? Or, is it ok to have the existing EP config itself with out increasing any system requirements.
Thanks

Hi
While not knowing more details than that, it's not possible to tell if your system is already correctly sized. (concurrent users, avarage number of java iview on page, current SAPS number, etc.)
I would suggest you to try the Quick Sizer to point you if your system is correctly sized:

Portal Sizing and Roadmap

Hi,
I need some suggestions in portal sizing since I am new to this field. We have a external-facing portal with an user base of around 2000. Concurrent users would be 100. Portal is integrated with ECC, BW and BOBJ (around 9 reports).
I have read about Quick Sizer tool. For 100 concurrent users, what should I use: user sizing or throughput sizing? Is it recommended to follow the results from this tool? What if the user base increases in future? Is there any other approach to work on portal sizing?
Also, what are the things I need to take into considerations for the future road-map (Scalability, maintenance, etc) ?
Thanks,
Sham

Hi Sushil,
Thanks for sharing the link. But it doesn't help much.
I tried using quick sizer tool and found the total SAPS as 2000 (DB SAPS: 500, App SAPS: 1500). Where do I find the relevant hardware for 2000 SAPS? I checked in SAP Benchmark results (Two-Tier Internet Configuration). Am I looking at the right place?
We were thinking of going for 2 core / 8 GB RAM.

Producer portal iviews are not rendered on Consumer portal.

Hello People,
We are currently in the process of upgrading our portal from EP7.4 SP03 to EP 7.4 SP07.
There are some remote iviews that we take from another portal.
These remote role assignment iviews do not open and no reports open assigned with them giving us the below error:
Could not open iView. The iView is not compatible with your browser,
operating system, or device. Contact your system administrator for more
information
These iviews work with IE9,IE11 but not with Chrome on the Consumer portal
These iVIews are rendering on the Producer portal (EP7.0) but not on the Consumer,newer version.
The issue with the remote iViews is only on Chrome. I did not find any SAP note or patch that can help with the compatibility for Chrome.
Does anyone has idea regarding this?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Deep

Hi All,
After some discussions with SAP support, we got a response saying that currently Chrome browser is not supported for Producer portal reports (See SAP Note 1655306 - Google Chrome for end
users and administrators).
Hence, we need to continue using only IE for such cases.
Thanks and Regards,
Deep Desai

Portal Sizing Query

Dear All,
I am trying to do an initial sizing for Portal 7.0. The total user base is 75000. The logons/hour is 9375 (75000/8).The concurrent users are also taken us 9375, though they could be less.The users will use the Travel expense planning application.There is no KM and no other applications.
As per the quick sizer with a think time of 200 secs and concurrent users 9375 and logon/hour=9375, the SAPS is 4600 and 17GB of RAM. is this a realistic estimate?.
For the 4600 SAPS, the server configuration could be
1. 1 DB+CI Server 2 CPU/4GB
2. 4 Application Servers: 2 CPU/4GB each.
Will the above servers support the 9375 concurrent users?.
Pl share your thought.
Thanks in advance.

Velu

Hi Velu,
You have to also into consideration
01) no. of custom java applictions
02) any business packages
03) user growth .. (futuristic view)

Size of the select value window in the portal for a query

Hi,
When I try to restrict the key figures structure in the portal (to select some key figures and hide others), the description of some key figures is truncated. It happens when the description of the key figure has been defined on several lines in the query designer.
Does anyone knows how to increase the size of the lines in the "select filter value" window in the portal?
Thanks,
Gabriel

Just a supplemental observations
There are certain actions even in the project that remains open that will close the opened, sized, and positioned Project Window.
Also
1. If you go to dual monitor system, typically the program does not remember the dual monitor setup when the project is saved closed and reopened.
2. If you use the project without a dual monitor system and save close project with the Preview Window open, sized, and positioned, when you re-open the project, the Preview Window is gone and would need to be reopened, sized, and positioned again.

Portal adds nbsp; when rendering custom type

Hi,
We have created a custom item type with an associated function/procedure. In our region 'associated functions' is the only attribute that is displayed. Space around and between items is set to 0. Oracle Portal seems to allways render a space/blank (ampersand nbsp;) after the results of our render procedure. This causes an additional empty line between our items.
Can we prevent Portal from rendering this space/blank? Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!
Regards, Erwin.

Hi Erwin,
We ran into the same problem. Look here for details(Metalink login required):
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showBUG?p_id=2782576&p_showHeader=1&p_showHelp=1
Supposedly, this problem is fixed in 9.0.2.6.

Sizing the Query Field

I know that the basic search query field can be sized, but I need to use a custom search portlet in order to specify the page group and results page. Is there any way to specify the size/width of the query field in a custom serach portlet?

No, the size of any of the search fields in all of the search portlets are not customizable. Only the 'Basic Search Box' item has this feature.

Portal sizing and UME Data Source

Hi Expert,
Please suggest the sizing approach towards the Netweaver Portal which will be used by about 50 to 60 lacs of customers on internet. New users will be allowed to self-register themselves on the portal. Also what are the recommendations on the UME data source while implementing the portal.
Thank you.

Hi,
As you have already mentioned that no. of users is going to be large (some 500k-600k) it is important to undestand that these are the total number of users. You will have to do following to determine concurrent users:
1. You will have to determine concurrent user phase i.e. peak load phase or time with max. no. of users you can imagine will work with Portal in 1 hours time. Reason to follow this method is large no. of users
2. Categorize your total users in to Low, Medium & High profiles. That means, you should categorize say 500k users in to these three categories. Low category users are those who access portal occasinally. To clarify it even further, users performing not more than 400 screen changes are to be put into this category.
SAP has already mentioned the benchmark figures for these categories:
Low: Users performing 400 dialog steps/week
Medium: Users performing 4800 dialog step/week
High: Users performing 14400 dialog step/week
With this, you will have better clarity of how to determine concurrent users. You can use Activty Reports or ADC Service to initially determine the user trend. You can also make use of Wily Introscope to identify no. of logon requests made. Advantage of using Wily is you can see the data sliced into different time interval like last minute, 10 min, last hour and so on. This shall give you better picture of how many users are making logon within 1 hour.
Also as your user base is large, I don't think SAP recommends to use UME for 500K-600K users. It should be LDAP as far as I can think of. However, do get a second opinion about usage of the DB.

Work Manager 6.1 Sizing Guide Query

Hi,
Looking at the official Work Manager 6.1 sizing guide and comparing it to the Work Manager 6.0 guide and it seems there has been a large jump in the suggested hardware for SMP.
I understand the WM6.0 runs on SMP 2.3 and WM6.1 is on SMP 3.0, but I'm surprised that the difference seems so large.
E.g. For a medium landscape with 1000 syncs/hour:
Work Manager / SMP
SMP SAPS (suggested)
Work Manager 6.0
2,000
Work Manager 6.1
55,500
Could someone clarify why this would be?
Thanks,
Stephen

The Sizing Document has been updated for the SMP Server and appear to be much more reasonable.
The SAP ABAP & DB Server recommondations are still the same and don't seem right.
E.g
Large Data Volume & 2000 syncs/hr
SAP DB Server - 393,500 SAPS
SAP ABAP Server - 127,500 SAPS
From the Sizing benchmarks an IBM Server with 271,080 SAPS has 8 Processors / 120 Cores / 1TB of RAM
Cheers,
Stephen

Portal Activity Report query

Hello All,
The Portal Activity Report shows data under Authenticated and Anonymous Columns
Questions:
1. Portal is not configured for anonymous authentication. So from where does it collect data and show data under anonymous column?
2. How can I disable the anonymous part? And done so, will this have any affect on the way the Authenticated figures are collected?
Please share your experience on this.
Awaiting Reply.
Thanks,
PRanjan

Even if you don't think you have any anonymous access, there is a default user Guest who is part of the Anonymous Users group who seems to access the portal!
Not sure how to hide it. Sorry...

Portal Sizing

Hi
I am using portal 3.0.7.6.2.
I Installed the JPDK AND REGISTER IT.
i also register the myfirstportlet.jsp .
I am trying to add a form to the myfirstportlet.jsp which consists of two input field of type "text".
When I view it through the browser of jdeveloper the two fileld appear.
When I run it from the portal, it shows me only one field.
I even try to use the same syntax as in the forminput.jsp but I am not able to succeed.
I thought that there is an issue in the size of the page where i am adding the portlet but even with a blank page , I Am not able display the two fields.
Kindly advise ASAP?
Regards
null

Georges,
Are you viewing portal with Netscape, I know that netscape is picky about stuff like that. It may possible just be an html issue. Make sure that you open and close the form properly and that all tags open and close.
Did you want to paste just the form section to see if it is something small. Just as you see in the form input portlet it is just standard HTML (almost), so it should work.
I would also try to cut and paste the form section into notepad and view it in netscape and see what happens.

Problem with hierarchy variable while displaying query in Portal

Hi,
I came up with an problem with a query in the portal. The problem is :
I have one query which is displayed in the portal. The Query has hierarchial selection criteria. I am executing the same query using analyzer. Its taking the variable from the selection and displaying it on the analyzer. I have used the option to " display the query on web " from the BEX query designer. From there its opening and displaying the results with the given selection criteria.
Where as when i open the query seperately in portal, its not displaying the results.
I came to know from one of my colleague that the porblem is with the Web item and the hierarchial variable declared in WAD was different from the variable declared in the BEX Query designer.
I never Worked with WAD. I tried finding out the variable definition. But i was unable to find out where the Hierarchial variable was defined.
Please help me out regarding the same.

The problem is sovled.

Adhoc Query Execution / Portal Authentication

Hi there,
When executing an adhoc query via the query designer I am asked to authenticate via the portal before the query is executed.
Is this the way it should work in netweaver 2004s ? Or do we have a communication problem between portal & BW?
My portal consultant wasnt really able to give me any ideas.
thanks
Mark

Hi,
You have any Idea on the User Administration mapping done in the Portal Iview?
I guess the Single Sign On done is not proper (SSO).You can achive this in the User Administration Properties of the System Created in Portal for BW. Portal Consultant will be the best person who can solve this.Else you can get the help of Basis who takes care the SSO.
Regards
Happy Tony
