Query in Portal User-Language-Independent

Hi all
Query and Portal: NW04S
We have some users with different language as Query language.
So the result is, when a query is developed in german and a user has default language english the query components are shown in technical values.
We don't want to translate the query in english
We don't want to change the users language to german
So my idea was to change the query iview with the parameter "sap-language=DE", but this doesn't have an affect either in iview-Properties "Query-String BEx Web Application" nor in "Parameter forwarded to BEx Web Application"
How can I solve this problem, so the bex-query is always shown in german.
Any ideas?
Thank you
Roger

Bex? or Web?
Bex - no chance I thinkl - at leats not one that I know off
I have the same problem with Chinese language in a hard coded English BI portal in a multi language Consumer Portal (!

How to map LDAP user language to portal user language?

Hi guys,
I need to get the logon language of our portal users from LDAP. I tried to modify the xml datasourceconfiguration file adding the "language" attribute, without any result. Anyone have some ideas?
I think this is a strange behaviour because I tried to add or remove other attributes such as "mobile", "telephone", ecc... and the system works without troubles adding or removing these attributes.

Hi Raffaele,
Pl refer to following link

Add to portal favorites works only in User-language english

Hi,
i've got a litte problem with the funktion "add to portal favorites".
We use our portal to publish BW-Reports (BW7.0). Our development-language is english.
Both system (BW and EP) are configured in english.
In the portal (EP 7.0) we have the problem, that the "add to portal favorites" funktion works fine when the user-language is english. When the user-language is german only a few iviews can be added to the favorites....
Does anyone have an idee where my bug is?
Christian

Hi Hema,
Try this.
Change the iView properties, these forces all BI reports to fire in EN,
The setting in the iView of Application Parameters and set this to u201CLanguage=ENu201D.Then this Overrides the local setting of the Portal and forces a BW report to fire in EN.

Mapping User Language vom LDAP to Portal Users

Hi,
Anyone knows how to map the user language available in an attribut from LDAP to the portal user language?
(Working on NW04)
Regards,
Martin

HI,
For 2004s SP10,
althought the manual tells you to use the preferredlanguage attribute in the datasource. Use the attribute 'locale' to map to your LDAP specific language attribute.
example <attribute name="locale">
<physicalAttribute name="preferredLanguage"/>
</attribute>
Use the 2-characters ISO language code set. For example en for English, nl for Dutch and de for German.
Works fine for us.
good luck,
Joachim van Essen

Get portal users

Hi,
We are developing an abap program that need to get a list of sap portal users. With the configuration we
have on our sap portal, the portal users aren't the same as R/3 users, therefore, portal users are independent of sap R/3 users.
Another option would be to get portal users from sap portal. It is possible?
Thank you very much.
Marc

Hi,
I think it would be easier to create a portal web service (you have all the API and the data at hand) and use it as a data source for Visual Composer. See this link for more info:
[Consuming Web Services Using Visual Composer|Consuming Web Services Using Visual Composer]
Hope that helps,

How to view a BI query with anonymous user in the portal

Hi Gurus,
Does anybody knows how to view a BI query in the portal with anonymous user?
Cause when i try to view a query the portal always ask for authentification. And i don't want to sign with a user cause my portal is for everybody and if the user logged in it shows the roles that previously were assigned.
I have the Netweaver 2004 with SP9
Thank you Very Much

do you have sso configured between portal and BW server, if yes the authentication pop up should not come.
if you dont want to do sso between portal and bw server and still want to logon to BW query with anonymous user,
in you bw server go to transaction sicf and navigate to DEFAULT_HOST->SAP->BW->BEX and double click on bex node in the resulting window, log on details section provide a default userid/password

Bex query crash for user on sap portal

hi gurus
i have a bex query which users see it through sap portal, i have the case where a user X has made some drill down between rows and columns of the query (over portal), and since then every time this user X open the query, portal shows the query on the rows-columns format that the user X used once.
What can i do in order user X see que query (on portal) in the default rows-columns??
This problem just happen with user X, others users see the query in the default format with no problems.
I ve tried deleting the portal personalization for user X on sap portal, but the problem persists...
suggets?

If its Java only error then there wont be any dump in ST22.
Strange issue for you, in general if we get 500 error, there should be details of it in the same page.
You said this issue is occuring for only one user, is it getting replicated every time?
You are also seeing the same error when u login as that particular user?
Do one thing, assign him the Content Admin role and then do the preview of this iView form content admin and see if ur still seeing this error.

Fixed language in docs independently of user language system login

Hi all
I'm not sure this is possible:
I would like to configure the system so that it guarantees that all documents/reports/maps or any other texts are shown or printed in ES language independently of the user language system login.
All texts will be translated to ES language. But I want to assure, that if user enters in any other language, the texts remain in ES...
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance

Hello Eric,
the BSP Forum would be the better place to post this message, I suppose.
The list of languages in the system/login.htm comes from the list of languages which are customized for your SAP Web AS.
That means if you want to have french you should customize your SAP Web AS for French.
Please check out the SAP docu for further details how to do this.

How to use the same POWL query for multiple users

Hello,
I have defined a POWL query which executes properly. But if I map the same POWL query to 2 portal users and the 2 portal users try to access the same page simultaneously then it gives an error message to one of the users that
"Query 'ABC' is already open in another session."
where 'ABC' is the query name.
Can you please tell me how to use the same POWL query for multiple users ?
A fast reply would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandhya

Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded. In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents. Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size. Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path. It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..

Webdynpro - Check if a portal user has a user in R/3 Backend

Hi Experts,
i have following problem, and maybe some of you can help me out with an idea or (much better) a solution:
Our Company is running an Enterprise Portal on NW2004s (SPS 18). Currently i am developing a Java WebDynpro Application for the portal called Transactionstarter. Withhin this application a portal user can simply add a backend System (R/3), a transaction and a Description. This information will be stored in a xml file in userhome in KM. When the user clicks the description, SAP WinGui will open with the transaction he defined before. We use SSO for opening the transaction if the user has a backend user. If not, the loginscreen of the backend will appear.
All this works fine.
Now we have the requirement for an automated system check.
The portal user can run an initial system check. This system check should check all configured backend systems if the portal user has a user in R/3 backend.
But how can i check if my portal user exists in backend?
I cannot use JCO because we have a lot of Systems (more than 300 all together) and i don´t want to create a destination for every system. Or did i misunderstood something with JCO?
Does anyone of you have a solution, how i can check every system, if the portal user has also a backend user?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Pascal

Hi Pascal,
with JCO you can use also the method JCO.createClient:
public static JCO.Client createClient(java.lang.String client,
                                      java.lang.String user,
                                      java.lang.String passwd,
                                      java.lang.String lang,
                                      java.lang.String mshost,
                                      java.lang.String r3name,
                                      java.lang.String group)
Creates an instance of a client connection to a remote SAP system (with load balancing)
Parameters:
client - SAP logon client
user - SAP logon user
passwd - SAP logon password
lang - SAP logon language
mshost - Host name of the message server
r3name - Name of the SAP system
group - Name of the group of application servers
Returns:
the newly created client
for connections to other systems. So you can avoid to create destinations

Read Portal User ID in BW report to filter records

Hi,
I need to filter my records in BW report based on the
business partner who logs into Portal.
(BW report is getting called thur IView in Portal)
Is there any way i can fetch the Portal User id
during the execution of BW report? so then i can filter
records by writing code in user exit.
I tried using variable sy-uname, but it populates
the BW user id and not portal user id.
Please reply if anybody knows solution to this query.
Thnx in advance.

Abhijit ,
My understanding:
You need to filter the query by the Business Partner ID and not by User name and Business Partner number and BW User ID are both different.
If you want to filter by User name:
Why don't you try using SSO through EP and that way you would get the ID of the person logged in.
If you are using user mapping:
Or what you could do is maintain the mapping in an info object/table in BW and query against the same.
If you are using Business Partner:
Populate the business partner master which will have the user name attached and that way you would be able to get the Business partner ID.

Portal Users Mapping...

Hi experts,
I have a query . now we have 20 SAP R/3 Licenses and 1000 Portal Licenses now we are able to successfully carry out the SSO with R/3 but the problem is how are we going to map the 1000 users to 20 SAP R/3 Ids ? Can some one please help me on the same at the earliest.
Regards,
Sam

Hi Arun,
You can create a group based on the portal users and map the Group to the to the R/3 Ids .
The number of persons in the Group is purely on your wish.
But do remember all the persons in the group will be able to view the same data in the mapped R/3 id.
If all portal users are going to view same data then you can group them in one group ID and map it to the R/3 id.
Otherwise based on the data that portal user wants to view form a group and then map it to the corresponding R/3 ID.For instance form 20 groups with 50 members each and map each group to the corresponding R/3 Id.
Hope it helps.

Vivekanandan

Export and Import of Portal Users (UME database only)

Hi
What is the most efficient way to export all Portal user that are stored in Portal UME database so that it can be imported to another Portal installation and be used..
Thanks in Advance
Ananda

Hi,
SAP User Administration is the standard way to export and import users in the portal. Using the export functionality, all the user information will get exported, including the roles and groups assigned:
[User]
uid=userid
last_name=Lastname
first_name=Tobias
language=en
accessibility=0
role=pcd:portal_content/com.sap.portal.xxx;
group=Administrators;
If you only want to export the user data without the roles and groups, you'll have to delete these lines.
