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.
Regards
Velu

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

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.

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.

Sham

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.

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:

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.

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.
Example:
Suppose If user login thru this URL

I want to catch this userID=test in my component.
Is it possible?
Many Thanks,

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.

Portal Port to Publish in Portal via Query Designer and Web Application

Hello Gurus,
Recently we change the port from 50000 to 80 to do federated portal connection more transparent.
After this change I open for example the web application designer and open a web template and try to execute it.
This action pop up the web browser to show the web template, but there is a problem, the web application designer still openning the web template with the 50000 port.
The question is:
Where I change the port used for BEx Web Applications to execute the web templates or the BEx Web querys?
thansk for your help.

MDM Sizing Query

I have done a sizing for 500K records spanning across three domains - customer, material, vendor domains with material being the major contributor of 400K records.
For memory, sizing (based on MDM sizing guide) comes to 16GB. I find it quite low considering that material could even store rich content.
Is this right numbers? Could you help me with your sizing numbers so that i can do a match up.

Webcenter Portal - CMIS query and variables

Hello,
Im using CMIS queries to access my UCM in order to have multi language support. In the query i need to input as a variable the current selected language which is on a session bean.
This is one example:
<taskFlow id="doclibcontentpresenter1"
              taskFlowId="/oracle/webcenter/doclib/view/jsf/taskflows/presenter/contentPresenter.xml#doclib-content-presenter"
              activation="deferred"
              xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/controller/binding">
      <parameters>
        <parameter id="taskFlowInstId"
                   value="${'07add503-f1b2-4a99-81a4-ce5ffda5dec0'}"/>
        <parameter id="datasourceType" value="${'dsTypeQueryExpression'}"/>
        <parameter id="datasource"
                   value="${'SELECT * FROM ora:t:IDC:GlobalProfile WHERE ora:p:xWCTags LIKE '${localeBean.localeActual}%' AND cmis:name LIKE \'logo%\''}"/>
        <parameter id="templateCategory" value="${''}"/>
        <parameter id="templateView" value="${''}"/>
        <parameter id="maxResults" value="${''}"/>
      </parameters>
    </taskFlow>
Which does not work. My question is if it is possible to pass a parameter in the CMIS query, on the LIKE field. If so how exactly to do it? If it is possible i cant find the correct syntax to make it work.
If this is not possible, how do i properly use CMIS queries in order to access multilanguage content that is tagged on my UCM?
Thank you for your help

Sorry to bother you again but it seems i have another small problem
<parameters>
        <parameter id="datasourceType">dsTypeQueryExpression</parameter>
        <parameter id="datasource">connectionName=UCM#SELECT * FROM ora:t:IDC:GlobalProfile WHERE ora:p:xWCTags LIKE '#{localeBean.localeActual}%' AND cmis:name LIKE 'logo_unitel%'</parameter>
</parameters>
Using the same logic, but this time im on a navigation.xml file. The <parameter> tag does not have a value instead the input is as show in the code above. And alas it also does not work.
Id be really grateful Thank you

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

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.
