SAP BW 3.1 and EP6 SSO
Hi all,
We have configured the SSO between BW (3.1) and EP (6). the connection test is succesful, and when I carry out a transaction in BW from EP using Win GUI, the SSO works. For e.g. RSA1 runs from the portal.
The problem that we face is that when I run a report, a log on popup for BW comes up. Could any one give any pointers on this.
thanks

Hi All,
Thanks for the prompt response. My reply, in order, is:
1. Yes, I have imported the portal certificate (verify.der) to the BW backend.
2. Yes, the service /sap/bw/BEx is active. Is there any other service that I need to check for Web reports.
3. No, we are not using FQDN, as we have a unix based system.

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,
RidouanWe used Client certificates. Still working on the PoC.

SAP* unable to connect to EP6
We are having problems with users being unable to logon to our EP6 system; this includes the Administrator userid. I believe that UME is configured to use the ABAP DB (but need to connect to UME config webscreen to check - which I cannot do)
I had activated the Emergency User SAP* (following SAPHelp procedure and restarted WAS) and attempted to connect to the Portal via the website http://komepserver:50004/irj/portal and this also failed with same error User Authentication failed.
I also tried suggestion from OSS note Note 886879 - User "SAP*" cannot log on to UME by setting UME configuration parameter "login.ticket_portalid" from its current value (default: "auto") to value "yes" (and restarted WAS). This also had no effect.
In addition the SAP* is unable to logon via the Visual Administrator as this receives the error Unable to lookup connection SAP* http://komepserver:50004/msgserver/text/logon returned empty list of connection parameters.
Has anybody had similar problem to determine why we cannot connect using the SAP*.Hi
needed to connect to the Portal's UME useradmin. I could connect to the Visual Administrator using the Administrator userid but not to the UME useradmin page or the regular Portal Admin pages.... the Portal does start and provides the userid/password page but does not accept the userid of 'Administrator'...and when I had activated SAP* and restarting portal it also does not accept userid of 'SAP*'.
That is the first mystery I am trying to figure out - as without access to UME I cannot check fully the UME settings.
Sorry I cannot be sure if ABAP is used as UME database - no documentation on the install that was performed here and nobody here knows anything about it - apart from the fact that nobody can logon to the Portal !!. But I am fairly sure that ABAP DB is being used. If so then do you have to use the SAP userid of J2EE_ADMIN to logon to the Portal as Administrator instead of 'Administrator'. (That J2EE_ADMIN was not locked in SU01 by the way.)
I was told also that this all started to go bad when the SAP logon ticket for SSO was updated in December - if SAP logon tickets are being used then when attempting to connect via SAP* would it tried to verify via the SAP ABAP DB first or simply use the WAS's SAP* userid.
I have logged an OSS note on this and will let you know if they come back with anything - but of course I would like this solved today if the soluition is simple.
thanks for any further assistance. -
SAP Connection R/3 using a SSO in Visual Basic
Hello, I have been trying to get an R/3 connection to SAP using VB.
I log into SAP by getting a SSO ticket and running SAPGUI with the ticket.
Is there a way to use R/3 and the SSO ticket to log in using VIsual Basic?
Set R3 = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
R3.Connection.Client = "000"
R3.Connection.User = "123456789"
R3.Connection.Language = "EN"
R3.Connection.System = "0"
If R3.Connection.logon(0, True) <> True Then
MsgBox "No connection to R/3 System"
Exit Sub
End If
I have a string from the .SAP file each time it is downloaded, I assume it is the single use password..

Hi,
We are implementing CRM5.0 and are currently using EP6.0 SP9. Is it possible to connect the 2 or do we need to upgrade to EP7.
If it is possible to use CRM5.0 and EP6, then which business package should I use :
Business Package for SAP CRM 4.0 60.2.3
or
Business Package for SAP CRM 5.0
The reason I ask is that the BPP for CRM 5.0 states Portal Release NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) is needed and we have NW2004.
Any help appreciated and awarded with points.
Thanks

would be a good place to start
steps:
- maintain in SM59 the TCP/IP-destinations SLD_NUC & SLD_UC
- set the gateway-options to your SLD-server
- test the connections
- start RZ70
- enter the SLD Bridge (again SLD Server Gateway data)
- execute job in RZ70
- log should be saying something like "data send ok"

2) Object is SAP is almost everything in Sap.
object could be anything like
TABLES
PROGRAMS

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..

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 -

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 WortmannI 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 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

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!!
DavidHi 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:

or

Any ideas?

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,
AnkurAnkur,
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 ManagementDear 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
