Integration of SAP enterprise portal with ATG dynamo platform

This is more an architectural question.
There is an existing web application running on the ATG 5.x/6.x B2C platform that takes orders from dealers for a retailer. It integrates with a SAP system using proprietary integration mechanisms. This is the existing architecture.
There is a idea to use the SAP netweaver platform, specifically the SAP enterprise portal that will integrate with the ATG dynamo platform.
ATG 6.2 and above allows integration in 2 ways :
1) Use web services
2) Integration framework using JMS/RPC etc
[Pl. see the ATG documentation www.atg.com/support]
I have been reading thru number of articles on SAP netweaver and looking for multiple options for the above integration.
My theoretical understanding is:
a) Develop a connector to the ATG platform using connector framework and invoke a web service on the ATG platform that expose the business logic built on the ATG platform
b) Does SAP XI come into picture if the portal tries to create a business process out of one single application.
c) Are there any other options?
I'm completely new to the SAP netweaver platform but have a good idea on SOA.
Any help or inputs on this will be highly appreciated.

Hello,
I can give you a suggestion from the Connector framework point of view. We are currently developing a generic webservice connector which will enable to create content using CF, which will be sent as WS requests for function execution. The connector is planned to be released for New-York 7.1 Netweaver branch. For the mean time I can suggest, as you did, to develop your CF connector which will connect to ATG exposed WS.
Best Regards,
Ran

What versions of the SAP Enterprise Portal support Java 5

What versions of the SAP Enterprise Portal support Java 5?
Example:
If we were to use Java 5 code for an iView what versions of the portal would it run in?
I have reviewed the Product Availability Matrix (PAM) and this is not clear. All I can find are references to JAVA 4 when using EP 6.

Hi Alejandro,
Currently, the version of SAP NetWeaver that is J2SE 5.0 as well as Java EE 5 compatible is the [SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment (NW CE)|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-ce]. It does not provide the "full" Portal capabilities, however it does come with a "Portal Lite" and supports Portal applications development scenarios.
For more information:

Connect of 2 SAP BW systems to one SAP Enterprise Portal

Hi!
I have 2 SAP BW systems that should be integrated into SAP Enterprise Portal.
I currently have already one SAP system entry "SAP_BW" within SAP EP.
Questions
Is it possible to define second entry for second SAP BW system in order to use 2 SAP BW systems with one SAP EP in parallel?
Where can I find appropriate documentation?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
We have a pilot portal with BW DEV, QAS and PRD connected to it. So it is possible.
It may be more appropriate to post this in the portal forum to get expert advice.

Business Object, SAP BW and SAP Enterprise Portal

Hello all,
I've a few questions about the possibility for linking Business Object, SAP BW and the SAP Enterprise Portal.
The Business Package MSS 1.41 give us a functionality to display (in a federated portal) personalized Budget and costs in an Overview Iview (kind of Welcome page).
Those information are retrieved from SAP BW and I'd like to know if it's possible to retrieve those data (with the same functionality) from Business Object tool.
Is it possible to have those personalized reports without having a direct link (standard architecture) between SAP BW and the federated portal?
Thank you in advance fro your answers.
Matthieu

Hi,
The procedure to replicate BW users in BO is explained in detail on the blog of Ingo Hilgefort:

VERY URGENT: Issue with Reconciliation against SAP Enterprise Portal

Hi,
We are using IDM7.0 and we have SAP Enterprise Portal as a resource. The users in portal are from Active Directory.
When I am doing full reconciliation against portal, it is processing only certain accounts. The reconcilaition policy is to link accounts. It is not linking teh accounts. Moreover, these accounts are not found in UNMATCHED accounts also. I don't have any account exclusion rules or something.
I wrote a small code snippet, which does just a single account reconciliation of a particular user id. In this case the portal account is being reconciled and linked properly.
Any ideas what the issue might be?
And I have another question too.. in the schema attributes of the out-of-box SAP Portal resource adapter, I don't see any ammping entry for "accountId". Usually for other resource adapters there would be entry for accountId (e.g in AD, mapping is: accountId <---> sAMAccountName). In case of portal, do we need to explicitly set this mapping? If so what would be the right hand side name in the schema? Does the right hand side name changes from one deployment to the other? If so how to determine what attribute maps to accountId in our portal? Might this lack of accountId is causing the issue with the reconciliation?
Any leads would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
kIDMan.

Thanks for the reply. I have already set up correlation rule, account linking options for different situations like FOUND, UNASSIGNED, UNMATACHED etc. If my linking configurtaion is not correct then the fetched accounts should be atleast in the account index with situation as UNMATCHED. But that is not the case.
I am not sure if I made my problem difinition clear earlier. The problem I mentioned is not with "linking" of the accounts. The problem is IDM is detecting only some accounts. Among those set of accounts which IDM was able to fetch from portal during reconcilaition, it was able to successfully link the matching accounts to identities in IDM.
My question is, why IDM is fetching only certain accounts and not all accounts from portal resource.
As I mentioned earlier, when I run my code snippet to reconcile a single account, it reconciles successfully and links to user identity in IDM (if a matching idenity exists based on my correlation rule). But why the reconcilaition at the resource level is not able to fetch and reconcile teh same account.
Regarding the accountId attribute in the attribute schema, neither the SUN documentation nor the resource adapter configuration tells about the name of the attribute on the portal side that it should match to.
Thanks,
kIDMan.

SAP Enterprise Portal - Post Installation Tasks

Hello everyone,
I am a beginner in the area of SAP Enterprise Portal. Please bear with me in case if I ask you stupid questions.
"Our idea is to deploy the BIW 3.5 IVIEW over the portal"
I have installed the SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP6 on Windows 2000 server environment. I have followed the install guide and I have done the installation successfully. I am also able to logon to the portal server using the irl url http://sodium:5000/irj/portal as an Administrator.
As a BASIS administrator point of view, what are the next Post Installation activities that I need to perform?
(Our idea is to deploy the BIW 3.5 Iview over the portal)
I really appreciate your responses.
Thanks & regards,
Nikee

Hello Nikee,
Simply define the SAP BW system, add an Alias, import portal certificate (for SSO), and start creating functional iview that can render your BW queries and reports.
Create a System pointing to the BW server with the following details:
a) System ID
b) Client
c) Web Access Point with "WAS" as category containing the following
entries: -
· Protocol
· Hostname
Note: Domain name of WAS should be same as portal domain
After that create BW iviews
QueryString is in the form "CMD=LDOC&infocube=myCube&query=myQuery"
You should have WAS on the BW server and also IGS shall also be present.
To follow with the latest, see note #489961 and
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/33/39fa40ee14f26fe10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

Configure SSO Connection from SAP Enterprise Portal to BOE Server

Hi Guys,
We recently installed a BOE Server and want to connect it to our SAP Enterprise Portal. What we need is just to display the Crystal Reports via Enterprise Portal. We have set up the following:
SAP EP with AD Authentication
SAP EP configured with SNC to SAP BI7 system
SAP BOE XI 3.1 - SAP Integration Kit
BOE Server configured with SAP Authentication via SAP BI7 System
We've also set up BOE IK iviews and URL iviews pointing to existing reports in BOE. However, when we access it from EP, it prompts for a username and login to BOE. Is there a way to configure these so that there is no prompt for login to BOE server and SSO is used? Is it also possible to have a service account (e.g. domain/crystal) that will run the reports in BOE everytime a user accesses a report from SAP EP?
Let me know if this is at all possible

Hi,
You should configure InfoView for SSO first, which required infoview.xml file modification, using windows AD default authentication. If you want to utilize the OpenDocument URL for iView then you also need to configure OpenDocument.xml file for SSO also. The SAP portal must have trust relation with the SAP BW server so the Windows AD token can be authenticate with SAP BW server.
If you want crystal user to run all the report then you will lose data security. It can be done by hard coding user name and password in the report properties and database logon but the SSO capability can be accomplished only by windows AD, SAP or LDAP.
For more details check BOXI Admin guide and SAP Integration Guide.
Thanks,
Muhammad

Performance issue of BI Reports in SAP Enterprise portal -in SAPNW2004s

Dear friends,
We are integrating BI Reports in SAP Enterprise Portal 7.0 ( SAP NW- 2004s).The reports are running properly .But the issue here is reports are taking long time to open and leading it to performance effect.
Reports in BEX( Bi side) working lilttle better than EP platform.
And Even BI team is looking for ways to improve the performance.
Could you please share your ideas to implement in portal side to increase the performance.
Thanks and Regards
Ratnakar Reddy

Hello Mr. Reddy,
There are two possibilities for slow performance in BW reports, so we need to look into wether its slow in the BW system or at the frontend.
If the problem resides in the BW system then we should be able to trace the reports
and you can go for a SAP EW or GV sessin and SAP will provide recommendations.
If the problem resides at the frontend
Update the frontend servers to the latest frontend release.
Recommended Frontend Release 700
Recommended Frontend Patch 18
Update the frontend servers to the lates SAP GUI release as soon as possible.
Minimum Recommended SAP GUI Release 6.40
Your frontend PCs should fulfill the following requirements:
Each frontend PC should have 500 MHz and 128 MB main memory.
Because of a limit in the addressable memory, Windows 95 is not supported as Frontend OS for 3.X BW Systems. Please refer to SAP Notes 161993, 321973 and 366626 for details.
Please also check SAP Note 147519 "Maintenance strategy/ deadlines 'SAPGUI'".
If you still require any assistance from SAP support then raise a message under component ( probably BW-BEX-ET-WEB).
Provide your input, if you have any.
Thank you,
Tilak

Performance issue of BI reports in SAP Enterprise portal

Dear Friends,
We have integrated BI reports with SAP Enterprise portal 7.0.Reports are running properly But the issue is reports are taking more time to dispsaly its content and leading it to performance effect.
In Bex ( BI side) reports performance is little better than SAP EP platform. BI Team also looking for ways to improve performance at BI side.
Could you please share your valuable ideas to improve the performance at SAP EP side also ..
Thanks and Regards
Ratnakar Reddy

Hi ratnakar,
The first step is to identify which component is causing the performance problem. Run your report in the portal but try appending the string &PROFILING=X in the end of the URL. This will generate BI statistics which you can use to see which component (Java stack, ABAP stack, Database) is causing the performance issue.
Hope this helps.
