To extract portal activity data from the portal into Solution manager.

HI all,
I need to extract the portal activity data from the portal into Solution Manager BI and then later on into the SAP BW in order to generate BEx reports on the portal activity data. I need to know about the configuartions that are needed to be done on the portal side and the solution manager side so as to get the data into SolMan from portal. Waiting for a response.
Thanks and regards,
Divya.

Hi
In solution manager you can do the analysis of the ADC data files (Portal activity reporting) as as part of the End-to-End Diagnostics (Portal Activity Reporting tab in the End-to-End Workload Analysis).
Will you see the Portal Activity Reporting tab under End-to-End Workload Analysis?
by default PAR in SAP Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 is deactivated ,since we requires
some manual configuration of the Activity Data Collector.
please follow the attached config guide in the SAP note for configuration.

Configurations for extracting portal activity data from netweaver portal.

Hi,
I need to fetch the portal activity data from the portal into Solution Manager. I would like to know the configurations on the portal that will be needed in order to extract the portal actvity data . How will i proceed extracting the portal activity data?
thanks and regards,
Divya.

Hi Divya,
We can not say that Early Watch Alerts is same as the the portal activity report.
Its a diagnosis service, for the solution monitoring of SAP and non-SAP systems
in the SAP Solution Manager. Its gives you the complete details of your System.
If we talk about Portal then you can get the details like :
1. Java Heap details
2. Memory Uses
3.Portal Objects access details (Like Activity report )
4.Server Nodes details
and many more things.................
The Underlying concept is to ensure smooth operation of individual SAP Systems
by keeping you informed of their status and allowing you to take action,
before severe technical problem occurs.

How to remove logoff button from the Portal?

Could anyone help me to remove the logoff button from the Portal? I am using netweaver portal 7.0 Thanks!

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your reply!
Can I do it through the portal or I have to do customized programming in NWDS? Could you please show me step by step in details?
In the future the portal will be use SSO with active directory so user does not have to login/logoff. I think the session in the server will be closed after a couple of minutes. What do you think?

Can't add to portal favorites with "&" in the name field

Hi there
Interesting problem which has been identified this morning ... it appears that certain iviews cannot be added to the portal favorites, and upon closer inspection, it appears that those iviews all have the "&" character in the name field.
For example, we have an iview with the name of "SAA013 Summary of Sales & Gross Margin vs Approved Plan". As you can see, its quite long, so anything to save some space.
If I remove the & and replace with "and", then I can add to portal favorites.
Has anyone else come across this and found an alternate solution? I could probably get away with convincing the client to allow "and" to be inserted, but then there's quite a few iviews that will have to be renamed, which is a rather tedious task.
Cheers,
Andrew

How can we call Tcode from the Portal?

Senario:
2 BAPIs are developed:
1. The information say... ABC is stored into the table from the portal using the Create BAPI.
2. The change in this ABC information is done using a particular <b>Tcode</b> say xyz. This is a report that calls the change BAPI inside.
The ABC information change will be done either through the Tcode in ECC or through the EP.
3. The Tcode has been created in ECC.
Please let me know who will be responsible to call this tcode from the Portal and how?
I am very very new to EP field so please help...

Hi Jignesh,
If you have already performed these steps and are able to see the iview that you have created. Then I think your issue has been sorted out.
To explain it to you in detail.
Let us suppose, you have created a SAP Transactional iview to access the TCODE-SE38.
Now, as soon as the user clicks on the iview, it will authenticate by asking for the username and password for the backend system...if your SSO is not in place.
Now, if your asking me how to make the iview visible.
You can add assign this SAP transactional iview to a page,a workset or a role and add the corresponding page, workset or role to the user in USER ADMINISTARTION by making it an entry point.
Or to make the iview as an entry point, right click on the iview that you have created and open the properties, then for the option that says entry point choose yes.
I guess that answers your question.
Let me know if you have need any further clarifications on the same.
Regards,
Sandeep

Authorization error when running a report from the portal

Hello,
I am trying to run a certain report under a certain user in the portal.
If I run this report with this user from the BW it is working but if I run it from the portal with this user it doesn't. The error I receive in the portal is this:
ABEND: Program error in class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
ABEND: Errors while reading InfoProvider data
ABEND: Error in BW:
ABEND: You do not have authorization for the data transfer process
Which other authorizations the user needs?

Hey Roy,
Check with the User Portal Roles and all Authorization Objects in BW.
when we talking about Portal from BW - Is is URL portal or RFC Portal?
Thanks,

How to get the list (vector) of selected channels from the portal

Hi,
I try to retrieve the selected channels from the portal to use them in my script. I use "DataCheckChnls". Is it possible to convert it to a vector, to use it after in in for next structure.
I would like to do specific calculus for each selected channel. Must I use another method ?
Thank's in advance.

Hello!
Sorry, I trusted the DIAdem help and did not testetd it. But I'm not completly wrong
What you get is an array of strings containing the channel name. In standard use these names are unique and could be transfered to a channel numbers with the CNo command. Try this code to understand this:
Option Explicit
Dim aoChannels
Dim oChannel
aoChannels = ChnStrToChnList(DataCheckChnls)
For Each oChannel In aoChannels
MsgBox CNo(oChannel)
Next
If you realy need the numbers as array you can build a function to do this based on this code:
Option Explicit
Dim i
Dim aoChannels
Dim anChannels
aoChannels = ChnStrToChnList(DataCheckChnls)
ReDim anChannels(UBound(aoChannels))
For i=0 To UBound(aoChannels)
anChannels = CNo(aoChannels(i))
Next

MDM Record Check out and Check in from the Portal

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to figure out what is the standard way to trigger the Check out and Check in from the Portal.
How do I need to configure the MDM workflows and the Portal, so the standard Item Details iView would automatically check out the record when the Edit button is pressed.
Do I need to configure Guided Procedures or UWL on the Portal or can I avoid that?
Thanks for your help in advance,
Boris

Hi Boris,
When we connect MDM to a front end system like Portal,the portal will replicate all teh functionalities of the backend sytem from the front end as in this case in EP.
But when we maintain Master data form the MDM Data Manager we get a lot of options in the context menu ,when we right click a record in the record pane.
All of these cannot be made available on the portal,but however the feature of Checkout can be made possible if you try to update the record through a MDM workflow.
As in MDM workflow you have to option of Checking ou the record at the beginning of the Uddate and then checking in back at the completion of the record update.
For this you can use the MDM workflows and integrate it through EP using UWL.
Kindly refer some additional docs which will guide you in the configuration of the same:
Re: MDM workflow with UWL
Re: Need to Integrate Universal Worklist in SAP Master Data Management.
Re: MDM Portal configurations.
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

Download PL from the portal by customers

Hi,
How is it possible to download an upgrade version from the portal by the customer. When we logon to the customer portal -> my profile -> Downloads -> Installations and Upgrades -> 2007 -> I see only installations, but I want to download a version for the upgrade.
Customers don't have an access to the partner portal. Can they download the version or I have to run it.
Thanks,
Olga

if you have or haven't access belongs to your access rights. the rights are given by your b1 partner. you normally get your update in the support portal. try the link :

Printing a report with print sheets from the portal

It is my understanding that a print sheet uses a variant to make a connection between the variable settings set in the web portal and the variable / filtering settings that are used when printing a report. It is also my understanding that without a print sheet and variant that when a user prints a report from the portal that the printed report would not have the same filtering (variable settings) as what the user sees in the report. I have created a report and a print sheet that uses a variant, but when we view reports in the portal there is not a print icon... we can only print from the browser. Printing from the browser only prints what is on the screen, not a formatted report set up in the reporting agent. How do I print a report that uses a variant and a print sheet set up in the reporting agent to be available to print from the portal... i.e. display an icon to print the report? If you have a better or more detailed explanation of what a print sheet is and how to set it up, please include that as well.

The BW Reporting agent print settings is used for batch printing of BW reports not online printing from the web.
Currently there are no SAP delivered formatted reporting print functionality for BW. BI 7.0 will have formatted reporting and PDF export options.
SAP had recently released a How to Document on printing using MS Excel. See the attached link for the same.
https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700001853752005E/HowToWebPrintingWithExcel.zip

Create a new MWord or MExcel document from the portal

Hi all,
Do you know if I can create a new WORD document (no upload) from the portal.
From the dropdown menu we have the option to create a text ot html file, not Word or excel.
thanks
in advance

Hi Vijay,
thanks for your reply.
Do you know any vendor application which can work with EP, and gives the ability to create microsoft documents(Excel and word documents)?
The way that we are working now, is to create the documents outside the EP, and then upload them into EP.
This is not efficient.
Do you have any suggestion?
Many thanks again

I havent create new token values.
Edited by: C@rlitos on Sep 30, 2009 6:14 PMHave you configured your Infra with a new hostname on a different port ?
Unless, you had installed your OAS with custom ports, and have not used the default ports for the components, your lsnr_token for the newurl has a problem. orasso and sso should be configured at 7777, and by default they configure at that port. That means that your newURL should be pointing to http://newurl.com:7777/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login for the ls_login_url.
This might have happened due to some error in registering your portal with the SSO. Have you used custom ports for your installations?
Additionally, did you configure your newurl on port 80?

Dynamic page information from the portal database?

Is it possible to get information about existing dynamic pages from the portal database? We're upgrading our portal from 9.0.4 to 10.1.4 and because we will be running the new version on a different platform, we can't run any upgrade scripts and need to build again from scratch. I was hoping I could pull dynamic page information from a portal view or table into a spreadsheet, to save our developers having to click into each dynamic page application in the old version to get the pl/sql code to copy and paste into the new version. The generated dynamic page packages just have api calls, so it may be possible that there's an api to do this. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how to do it? Thanks.
