Publish a BEx role in the portal

     Hello!
     I would like to know if any of you have ever encountered this situation. Is it possible to somehow publish in the portal a link to a BW role, so all the queries/workbooks stored inside can be opened from there? The thing is that the users generate in these folders their own queries from time to time according to business requirements, and they would like them to be available from the portal. If this approach is possible, then the maintenance required for the portal content administrator would be minimal when they create new content under these roles.
I have used KM content for BO folders, but I do not know if something like this is possible for BW roles. If possible, could you please provide some how to's?
   Thank you very much,
   Victor

Hi,
You need not to create web template to publish query in portal.
there are two ways for publishing
1)Go to query designer Click on Query -> Publish-> To portal
here you select the path where you want to create the iview
2)Log in to portal setect the folder in which you want to publish report.
right click -> create new iview -> select BI 7.0 iview -> next -> iview name ie report name -> next -> Application parameter -> here you need to write QUERY =Query technical name -> next -> finish
Try this,

Niki,
The documentation says that
The Portal Favorites iView contains a freely definable list of links for direct access to items that you use regularly. This can include the following:
●     Portal pages and iViews that run as full-page applications
●     Documents, folders, and other items in KM repositories
●     External items, such as Internet pages
So we can't do it for Roles.
For detailed information see <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3a/d609e5803111d5992f00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm">Portal Favorites</a>

User cannot see the roles in the portal

Hi,
We have a users who uses portal for his reports. Today he executed a report which took more time. since then onwards when ever user logon to the portal he doesnt get any thing loaded on the page in his system but when the user logon on the other system he get all the roles assigned to him. so i guess there might have been some problem on his pc when he executed report with lots of selections.
Did anyone had this issue earlier? How can we fix that issue on his PC?
Thanks
annie

Hi
thanks for your replies.
We have restarted the PC twice, but still the problem exists.
I have deleted the cookies and tried and it worked.

Error when uploading BW roles into the Portal

Roles in the portal

I have the following doubt:
We in the company have 10.000 employees. I want know How can assign the role of ESS in the portal for this 10000 employees?
There are is an option of do this massive?
Regards
Juan

Hi Juan,
Is your portal user base set to backend SAP system? What I understood from your post is you want to give all 10000 common functionality of ESS and I assume there will be a common ESS backend role (e.g. ZSAP_EMPLOYEE_ERP) assigned to these 10000 users.
If you do a search in a portal assuming you have user base from SAP backend system, you will be able to find the backend role (e.g. ZSAP_EMPLOYEE_ERP) as a group in the portal. Assign a portal role to this group. So if any user who has correct backend ESS role will automatically get the portal ESS role. This is because backend roles are shown as groups in portal and user is part of that group if he/she has that backend role. So effectively, any new user who just gets the backend role automatically has access to portal role as well due to the mapping between group and role.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Publishing bw workbooks to the portal

I am trying to find out what portal role a bw designer would need in order to publish workbooks\queries to KM in the portal and also to publish reports as an iview. We have a few bw folks who are trying to accomplish this. In the portal I had assigned them to Business Planning, Business Explorer and Business Intelligence roles as well as Content Admin adn System admin roles. They said they tried to publish a bw workbook to the portal but were not able to, so for the heck of it I made some of them super admins and then they were able to publish the reports to the portal. I do not want to leave them as super admins, but I cannot find any documention on sap help that tells me what portal roles they should be in.

Hello Kathleen,
You need to investigate why the developers were able to publish the reports when thy were assigned the super admin role.
Even in our landscape some of the BW developers are publishing BW reports , as of now we have assigned them Contnet Admin role. and they are doing fine with that.
Let me know if that helps.
Thanks and Regards

Error when publishing web templates in the portal

hi Gurus,
I am getting this error when I try to publish my web report on the portal,
Field E_SX_META_DATA not a member of OUTPUT.
Can anyone please let me know how to go about fixing this error ?
Thanks in advance,
Nip

Hi,
You mean you want to execute the template even after this design time error. If yes then you can simply go to the backend and Transaction "SE38" then in the next screen type "RS_TEMPLATE_MAINTAIN_70" and then in the next screen type your template name ans then press "Execute" button to see temlate in Java Web.

How to change the portal role presentation based on users BW authorization?

Hello,
I have created 3 BW Roles, each one contains an iView with a certain report.
For simplicity let's name the Roles A,B,C and assume that in order to see the proper report the user needs to be assigned to the matching group (A,B,C) at the BW side.
I have imported these 3 roles to the portal as worksets, created new pcd role, placed these 3 worksets inside the new role and assigned this role to a certain group of users in the portal (these users are ABAP users so they are the same at the BW side as well).
What I would like to do is this: I would like that each user that I have assigned this new role to will see only the worksets that he/she allowed to see based on it's BW authorization. Meaning, if I have been assigned roles A and B at the BW I will see only worksets A and B inside the role.
The problem is this: From the portal I cannot assign the users to the BW groups and from BW I cannot control pcd roles so this kind of change requires me to make two modifications: One for authorization from the BW and one for presentation from the portal. I would like to manage it just from one place, either from the BW or from the portal, I don't care.
How can I achieve this?

I think I have found a solution: Export it as a role instead of a workset and do one to one assignments with the BW groups.

BW integration with the Portal

I need to integrate BW reports into the Portal. Currently my reports are organized around role menus. I need to know what are the best practices around:
- role creation. what is the strategy of creating roles in the Portal. do we import the BW roles into the Portal? do we create new roles based on the BW roles? how can BW roles be migrated to the Portal?
- the execution of online reports from the Portal. Can we run ad-hoc reports in the Portal? can the user select characterstics or change the BW queries from the Portal?
thanks in advance.

you can find information about upload existing roles from an abap-system to the portal in the sap help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/40/4b3441cd62db2be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
when it comes to ad-hoc query and analysis, you can use the bex web analyser of netweaver 04s (callable by url or as iView in the portal) see:

Pass Parameters to T.Code in the portal from aTransaction Iview.

From Portal transaction iView
I did the steps , but this not work. I don't can get the value passed in the field Applications Parameters.
Attach screenshot with the steps that I did.
[Screenshot|http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/3d4dd249ad.jpg]
I want know how can solve this issue?
Thank in advance.

Hi Carmen,
The bottom line is that this cannot be done for transaction iviews without modifying the standard webgui service in SICF, which is probably not a good idea (since it affects everyone using SAP GUI for HTML). (You could hack the appintegrator to add the ~webgui_simple_toolbar parameter to the transaction URL template in the portal, but again its not a recommended thing to do ...). Better to create an IAC service in SICF with ~webgui=1 where you set the required appearance using an appropriate value for ~webgui_simple_toolbar, and then create an IAC iview to point at this service.
You can even override the ~transaction value configured in the new service in individual IAC iviews by entering the appropriate value in the application parameter of the iview, for example:
~okcode=/nSU01
And you can pass parameters in the same way:
~okcode=/nSU01 USR02-BNAME=xyz;USREFUS-USERALIAS=abc;
By the way, it would not be recommended to create a URL iview to access an IAC, since you are likely to encounter session management issues in this scenario - better to use an IAC iview.
