SAP BI 7.0 and BO XI 3.1 Integration Problems

Hi everyone,
After following through every step of:
Re: Checklist for SAP BI 7.0 and BO XI 3.1 integration - Challenges
I still get the following problems:
1. Unable to find SAP in CMC Authentication
2. At the login page of InfoView, I can select SAP as authentication method. However, after inputting the login information, I get the "The plugin secSAPR3 does not exist in the CMS (FWM 02017)"
3. I was able to create a new connection in Designer to connect to SAP BW, and select one of the existing cubes. After uploading the Universe, I created a new Web Intelligence document and dragged couple of objects into Result Objects. After clicking Run Query, I get the following:
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query SELECT { [Measures].[0BBP_BILITM] } ON COLUMNS FROM [$0BBP_C01] failed to execute with the error See RFC trace file or SAP system log for more details. (WIS 10901)
Even tried:
Webi Stucks while trying to create report with BW7.0 (WIS 10901)
and still no luck.
Here's the environment information:
Installed (In Order):
1. BOE XI 3.1
2. Xcelsius 2008
3. LIVEOFFICE
4. SAP GUI 7.0
5. Crystal Report 2008 with SP1
6. BO JCo
7. BO Integration Kit for SAP
Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance!!

Hi Ingo,
I've noticed that in your step by step manual, you are using BO XI 3.0. So I created a Virtual PC with Windows Server 2003, and installed BO XI 3.0, SAP GUI 7.0, Java Connector, BO Integration Kit for SAP.
Without any errors nor issues, now I see "SAP' in CMC's Authendication (not the login). So now I can assume it's because BO Integration Kit only supports BO XI 3.0 and consider it solved?
However, I still get the same error as my 1st post:
3. I was able to create a new connection in Designer to connect to SAP BW, and select one of the existing cubes. After uploading the Universe, I created a new Web Intelligence document and dragged couple of objects into Result Objects. After clicking Run Query, I get the following:
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query SELECT { Measures.0BBP_BILITM } ON COLUMNS FROM $0BBP_C01 failed to execute with the error See RFC trace file or SAP system log for more details. (WIS 10901)
or
A database error occured. The database error text is: The supplied XML is not valid. [0COMP_CODE].[LEVEL00]. (WIS 10901)
Any ideas?

Checklist for SAP BI 7.0 and BO XI 3.1 integration - Challenges

Hi Users who have successfully configured SAP BO XI 3.1 with SAP BI 7.0,
We are preparing to install SAP Integration Kit and follow through on the steps (..that I have come across in some of the docs on these forums ) that would enable our users to report using BO - Webi.
I would like to know what are the major challenges you have faced ? How did you resolve them or get around them?
I would like to know who are all the mandatory technical people (eg., sap security guy, BO admin,... ) that needs to be a part of this effort. What would be their specific role ? When would each of these guys come into the scope without whom we cant do this successfully?
What would be the basic checklist of things , hardware /software (eg., Service Pack #, SAP Notes, Universe version,..) that would go along with SAP BO XI 3.1 and SAP BI 7.0 that we would have to do before/while installing Integration Kit make our job as smooth as possible?
What are the DONT's and DO's of this work?
How to make sure the this process is optimized / justified (performance wise, ..)?
Are there any specific documents which shows the screenshots of this whole process end to end (i.e.,successfully install, configure, create/design the 1st Universe in BO based on BEx query, create the 1st query in BO, create the 1st report in BO, let the user view/edit/modify the report)?
Responses from anyone who has gone through all these steps smoothly & successfully (which might include tips, tricks) are greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

SP18 should be OK. We're at SP19. Again, a fair number of MDX related OSS Notes in SP20 and 21. Some integration enhancements are only being made to EHP1, so if you do apply SP, you might as well go to EHP1, e.g. Thomas Zureks has a couple of blogs on some of the enhancements
/people/thomas.zurek/blog/2009/03/06/better-performance-for-universe-based-access-to-bw
/people/thomas.zurek/blog/2009/03/16/faster-universe-based-access-to-bw-via-mdx
There are good things coming in WebI later in 2009. Of great interest to BW / WebI customers I think will be a feature called Query Stripping that is supposed to come in WebI SP3. In BEx, you can create a query with many free characteristics, which really provides the query user with a guided ad-hoc capability, where they can pull any of the free characteristics into a report. BEx does not include free characteristics in the generated SQL until the user specifically adds it to their report, so there is there is no performance impact of having several free characteristics available for use. This lets you have one BEx query that is extremely versatile.
A WebI document on the other hand, includes all objects in the query in the generated SQL, even though they are not actually used in a report. With query stripping, if the object is not used in the report, WebI can (as an option) remove references the the object(s) from the generated SQL. This gives you the same potential in WebI, to create a query with many objects in it, abd the user can drag them in / out of the report, providing you the ability to create one WebI query that can be the basis for for much more reporting.

ACS 3.2 for Windows and MS Windows AD Directory Integration Problem

Dear all,
We have some issues while integrating Windows AD with ACS 3.2 for Windows.Currently we have done the following:
1. Installed ACS 3.2 for Windows on Windows 2003 Enterprise with SP1
2. ACS and Domain Controller are configured on the same server
Checked and verified the following configurations
1. created a domain user "csacs" selected Act as a part of operating system and log on as a service enabled for this user.
2. Enabled all the CS services to log on as a user csacs.
But I noticed CS services are not respdonding and gives the error as "Could not able to start the service with service specific error ..." while trying to start services manually on ACS.
Kindly help me through this integration part
An easy and handy Step wise procedure on configuring integration of AD with ACS 3.2 on both Domain Controller and on Member server will be of great help.
Thanks
Kind Regards,

I have no issues running Cisco ACS version 3.2 on Windows
Server 2003 with SP2:
1) create user test1 in MS Active Directory and put test1
in users group with dial-in access granted,
3) Create a group called "LDAP". Actually I renamed
group name "group 1" to "LDAP".
3) in ACS external user database configuration, I specified
domain "CCIE" as for this. unknow user policy is to use
Windows Database configuration,
4) Configure the database configuration in ACS to point
to "CCIE" windows domain,
5) setup the ACS to authenticate one of your Cisco devices
and log in using the MS windows account,
By the way, mgurwara, you are wrong. I run Cisco
ACS 3.2 on windows 2003 Enterprise Edition with Service
Pack 2. I am running it on a Dell Optiplex Gx240
(1.7 GHz with 512MB of RAM) and it is running fine.
I use it to manage about 20 cisco devices and
about 200 Wireless LEAP user(s). Furthermore, I am also
running ACS 4.1 on another identical hardware. It has
nothing to do with the hardware. I don't know where
you get that information from.

Jbuilder 6 enterprise and weblogic server 6.1 integration problem

hello,
i am using jbuilder 6 enterprise and weblogic server 6.1. i just got a new
workstation and imported my old project from cvs into jbuilder and
everything is fine up to this point.
the application in question is using servlet filters, so i absolutely need
web application version 2.3. it seems, though, that my jbuilder believes for
some reason that only tomcat 4 and borland enterprise server are capable of
using servlet filters. i cannot remember how i fixed this last time around,
but i did somehow. i had a recollection that the jb6_all_001 patch did the
trick, but obviously it didn't this time, at least. what is really annoying
is that the wizard does not allow me to create servlet filters and the
webapp dd editor does not allow me to configure filters, either. of course,
i can edit web.xml manually, but starting the server changes the dtd back to
2.2 and removes everything that is 2.3 specific.
please help me fix this?

at the moment it is possible for me to work, though. i worked around the
problem and i set web.xml as a read only file. i still can't use wizards to
create servlets and i can't edit web.xml with jbuilder.

Hey Rajesh,
answers:
1) Yes, the installations procedures is almost the same for all SAP versions, however its advisible to use follow the installation guides which comes with the DVD or is also available in SAP marketplace..
2) Object is SAP is almost everything in Sap.
object could be anything like
TABLES
PROGRAMS
VIEW
FUNTTION MODULES
DOMAIN
DATA ELEMENT
STRUCTURE
and so on
3)Composite role is the combination of two or more roles(be it 2 or more single roles or combination of two or more composite roles or permutation of single and composite role).. whereas derived roles can inherit all authorization objects from the parent role and can have its own authorization objects as well..
Hope this clears your doubts.
Revert for any clarifications..

SSO between SAP Portal 7.3 and Ruby on Rails

Hello Everyone,
We are planning to integrate SAP Portal 7.3 and a RoR application and I am wondering If someone can share some experience (If you have any of course) on how to establish SSO between SAP Portal and RoR.
The SAP Portal will act as service provided and RoR as a consumer, we don't have LDAP, so the Portal UME is in ABAP and RoR uses an own UME database. We have SSO between our Portal and SAP Backend systems.
In RoR customers will have access to their own information (Invoices, etc..) that will be provided by the backend system.
URL transaction and iFrames is not an option for us.
The second option is to call Web Services, directly or through the SAP Portal (we are using a central sr).
I am a NetWeaver consultant who heard about RoR but have no experience in this field.
All help and tips are greatly appreciated!.
Regards,
Ridouan

We used Client certificates. Still working on the PoC.

SAP PI 7.1 and LU6.2 protocol

We have a new requirement to integrate SAP PI 7.1 with IBM mainframe using LU6.2 connection protocol. I searched this forum and found that it can be achieved using iWay adapter. We have interfaces that need to send data from SAP to IBM mainframe and vice-versa.
What we are not sure is, if we are going use iway adapter... does it requires any software installation on mainframe?
Our situation is, we are not allowed to do any changes or install on mainframe side. There are already several interfaces connecting IBM mainframe with other IBM systems using LU6.2 protocol. IBM mainframe would do same LU6.2 protocol connection to external system irrespective of SAP or other IBM system.
- How does LU6.2 iway adapter works?
- Does iWay LU6.2 adapter requires any software to be installed on mainframe?
- Does iWay LU6.2 adapter accommodated incoming LU6.2 connections calls coming from IBM mainframe to SAP PI 7.1?
Could you please, post your experience with LU6.2 with iway adapter and also help us to understand on above questions.
Thanks a lot in advance!

whenever you buy a 3rd party adapter i dont think you will have to do any installation on the application systems.
You will have the adapter installed on the PI server and which will enable connectivity to the appl. system

A new concept is available for setting up a high availability environment for SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (PI). To do this, you need SAP Web Dispatcher for load balancing, and you must reconfigure your HTTP, RFC, and RMI connections so that they can be used for load balancing. You must also make various configuration steps in other components of your PI environment.

Using the Open Catalog Interface (OCI) between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM

Hello ASUG Community.
I'm working on an SAP-MDM project where we will configure the OCI interface between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM. The business requirement will be to punch out to SAP-MDM's catalog from SAP-ECC for expensed items (e.g., no material master record exists in SAP-ECC).
The data that will be returned to SAP-ECC will be purchase price info, material group, short text, & our global SAP-MDM item number.
The question I've been trying to design around is "where to store the SAP-MDM item number"?
I've looked into creating a custom filed on EKPO but now feel that a configured text field will be the best solution from an SAP-ECC point of view (less effort on the SAP-ECC side from a development perspective, no need to regenerate the EKPO table, etc.).
The question I'd like to pose to ASUG is.... Does anyone have experience or an opinion to offer using this functionality? It seems that I will have to code in a user exit or BAdi to insure that the SAP-MDM item numbers are returned to the appropriate text field on my POu2019s. Or can this be done using the standard OCI functionality?
I found OSS note 1347656 which references BADI "ME_CATALOG_INTERFACE" but I'm not sure if this right path to go down or if this would be the correct place to code non-conforming OCI mapping requiremetns.
Any insight would be most appreciated.
Thanks. Sincerely,
Rich Wortmann

I would suggest you create a new field for this as you may require thois going forward for reporting as well. Text fields are difficult to report.
Sorry not sure about the BADI to use.

SAP CRM 7.0 and Enterprise Portal

Dear SAP Gurus ,
I have question about the New CRM WEB UI and integration to SAP Enterprise Portal .
We have been using the SAP Enterprise portal for accesing the SAP CRM functionalities before (eg create Opporutnites and Sales Order ). But with the New SAP version(7.0 and 2007 ) its possible to have its own portal.
Now the question is it possible to integrate the NEW SAP WEB UI into the existing portal ? Eg: If we want to have link in Enterprise portal with the Sales Order create functionalyt direlty without going into the stand alone CRM WEB UI . Would it be possible to directly call the Sales order service WEB UI in enterprise portal . Right now what we see is that the NEW CRM WEB UI is stand alone and for these type of fuctionalites the user need to login to the NEW web ui and then go to the create sales order screen .
Is it possible to directly embed the new UI components in the existing SAP enterprise portal ?
Many Thank for your kind advise !
Best Regards,
Ankur

Ankur,
Once you have correctly integrated to Portal following the SAP Note, you will no longer see the CRM Navigation. They will be Portal Navigation. If you have read and understood the note, it will be clear. On an overview, let me explain the steps involved.
1. You create a CRM role (based on some job role) say "Sales Rep" and have configured the CRM Web UI for all the navigation and applications. Like Account maintenance, Opportunities, Sales order create etc. etc.
2. Following the note and running a CRM transaction, you will now "Export" this CRM role to an external file. This file is very similar to a "business package". All the portal roles, pages, iVeiws etc. get created.
3. You will now "Import" this into your portal. Again follow the notes to know the loaction.
4. In the portal, you will assign this "portal role" to your users.
When these users log on to portal, they will see Portal Navigation (not the CRM navigation). So, the main point lies in defining the CRM role and get it working.
Hope you get the point....

Installation of SAP Business One client and required administration rights

Dear community,
I would like to kindly ask you for your feedback on the installation of SAP Business One client and its patches on end-user computers.
The pain points I have heard so far are the following:
- The installation of SAP Business One client and its patches has to be started by a user with administrator rights. As far as I know (and please correct me if I am wrong), this is also required in case of installation of any other software.
- End users usually do not have administrator rights and therefore the SAP Business One clients have to be manually upgraded by administrator. This is time consuming (and therefore costly) activity.
We are considering to design a new solution which would overcome the above limitations.
I would like to confirm with you if my understanding is correct:
Question 1:
Is it a common situation that the end-users of SAP Business One client do not have administrator rights and therefore cannot install the patches of SAP Business One client by themselves?
If yes, how do you resolve this currently?
Question 2:
Do you use Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager or Active Directory (or any other 3rd party solution) to automatically distribute software packages and updates to client PCs at your customers?
Question 3:
If the SAP Business One client installation (and its patches) is delivered as MSI package with silent installation capability, would you be able to automate the deployment of B1 client updates to client PC using the abovementioned technologies? Or can you still see some obstacles?
Thank you
Best regards
Jan Ruzarovsky
SAP Business One Product Management

Dear all,
Thank you very much for your comments, very helpful!
@Marco - SAP Business One 8.8 client currently does not support the silent installation / upgrade. However we are currently considering this requirement and we would like to deliver it as soon as possible.
We are currently considering several possible designs. One of them is as follows:
1. A new SAP Business One Updater Service will be installed on each client workstation.
It will be a windows service installed and running under a local system account.
2. The updater service will check regularly if there are any new patches of SAP Business One client or add-ons uploaded to a configured shared directory.
3. If a new patch is found in the shared directory, the updater service will SILENTLY install the new patch (add-ons, SAP Business One) on the client workstation.
The service would be able to install patches even if nobody is logged in.
Questions:
If we consider the above design, there are a few open topics:
1. During the upgrade of the SAP Business One server, the client patches (and SAP add-on patches, partner add-ons) would be placed to a SHARED directory instead of into SBO-Common (as it is implemented currently).
- Does this have any impact on your tools, processes or add-ons?
2. SAP Business One upgrade wizard will put the latest patch of SAP Business One client into a configured shared directory. The shared directory will have to be read-only for everybody in the network to avoid that the valid installation files are replaced by malware or virus infected files
- Can you configure such a shared directory?
From customer perspective, if a new patch is put into the shared directory, the updater service can behave as follows:
1. Manually initiated upgrade of the client
Example: Customer starts the old (not upgraded) SAP Business One client. The client will inform him/her that a new patch has been found and it has to be installed in order to continue working with the client. After customer clicks "Yes", the upgrader service starts the silent installation of the client and informs customer about the progress. Once the upgrade is finished, the upgraded SAP Business One client will be started automatically.
2. Automatic update:
- Update the client automatically (e.g. overnight) if customer is not working with SAP Business One
- If SAP Business One client is running, ask customer if he/she wishes to upgrade the client now or to delay the upgrade by X minutes.
Question: Which of the above two scenarios would you and your customers prefer?
If the upgrade is fully silent, automated and handled by the upgrader service, Is it acceptable for customers to trigger the installation manually and wait till the client is upgraded? Or would they prefer to have the client updated for them e.g. overnight so they can immediately start to work?
Best regards
Jan

SAP GUI 7.0 and RRMX

I am using BI NW04s and using RRMX via the SAP GUI 7.0.
My problem is that BEx will not start.
SP13 is meant to fix the problem and there is a note (1018928) that details how to fix it for other SPs....however this does not seem to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Patrick

To solve this problem go to Analyzer 7.0 --> choose option --> global settings --> and mark the option: Launch SAP BW 3.x verion of Bex Analyzer from SAP Gui (RRMX).
And start the Analyzer 7.0 again.
