SAP Enterprise Portal Strategy Documentation

Hi,
I would like to get a template document to design the SAP Enterprise portal strategy. Is there a document which lists the areas to be considered while designing the Enterprise portal strategy? Are there any best practices which SAP suggests in this area ?

Amit

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

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!
regards

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.

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.

Ran

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.

Q: BOBJ reports in SAP Enterprise Portal?

Hi,
We want to be able to access Business Objects reports (Crystal Reports and WebIntelligence Reports) via the SAP Enterprise Portal. The integration between SAP BI and BOBJ is completed, and we can create WebI and CR reports based on our SAP queries, but we have not been able to understand how to publish the reports in the portal.
Does anybody have any idea of how to publish these reports (for instance if it is possible to create a direct link to the report in InfoView)?
Any help appreciated,
Thank you in advance,
Mikael

Hi Mikael,
this is the quick (URL iView) but not the recommended (BOBJ iView Template) way:
1. Log on the BOBJ InfoView, locate your report and look at its properties. Write down its CUID.
2. Go into the SAP Portal and create a new URL iView using following URL
http://<name of bobj web server:port of boboj web server>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=<CUID of your report>
Regards,
Stratos
NOTE: The openDocument URL works for BOBJ XI 3.x installations with Tomcat. Please look in the documentation about the syntax if you are using IIS.

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

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.

Is there User Group and Role Reporting in SAP Enterprise Portal?

I want to know if there is a way to pull users statistics our of SAP Enterprise Portal like you can out of the R3 backend systems.
I would like functionality similar to the SUIM transaction. I know through user administration you can access any user, even a list of all users, and you can do similar lists with roles and groups. You can then access any of these things individually and look at their assignments. However, I want to do this on a large scale. I want to know for example every group that has a user assigned to it. Evergroup that has roles assigned to it. Or groups that have no user or role assignments. We have approximately 1904 groups in our Production Portal system and I am trying to clean up the groups that have no user assignment, but I don't want to look through them one by one.

Hi Chris,
There is no standard report available for this purpose. However all this information is stored in table UME_STRINGS.
You can write your own SQL queries to generate such reports. However please note that this table is not normalized, and it's a master UME table. You should use it strictly for READ ONLY purpose.
For a sample code you which i wrote some time back, you might refer:

Two sap enterprise portal in the same server

Hi,
We have installed a SAP Enterprise Portal on a linux server, all ok!!. but now we want to install another SAP Portal in the same server with the same ehp and same sp, but diferent url, is it possible? and we have something in mind when we began to install it..
e.g. diferents ports or diferents database SID to avoid errors.
thankssss

Hi Carlos,
SAP Software in general is flexible regarding this requirement.
A SAP ID identifies the system, and the Instance ID is related to the Portnumbers that are used...
So lets say you have an:
- host called "linuxhost1" and
   - you installed a SAP system "AB1" and
      - the CI is 00 and SCS is 01
then you can install multiple additional installations for example
- host called "linuxhost1" and
   - you installed a SAP system "AB2" and
      - the CI is 02 and SCS is 03
etc etc..
As long as your host has enough resources you can fill it up...
The instance numbers you chose are reflected in the portnumbers. So in my example above the AB1 portal is called by http://linuxhost1:50000 and AB2 portal is called by http://linuxhost1:50200...
So in other words the instance number of the CI is used in the portnumber of the java instance (5NN00).
The above info is also spread among different SAP installation guides, and SAP help pages.
Cheers,
B

Integration of WEBI report in SAP Enterprise portal

Hi Colleagues,
I want to create my adhco report using WEBI and want to publish it to SAP NW Enterprise portal .
While creating the i view in the EP i dint find any option in i view template in order to create an i view for WEBI report .
However there is an option to choose crystal report as a template while creating an i view but nothing for WEBI and Xcelsius as such. So how can we embedd our Xcelsius and WEBI report in SAP Enterprise portal .
Is there any option to intergate the SAP NW Enterprise portal and BO Portal .
Kindly sugest.

You should be using opendocument links if using EP. with opendocument the URL contains all the pertinent info.
refer to chapter 8 of the SAP Integration kit guide for more info.
Post in the webi, general, or check out the outher documents link in the forum sticky post for the latest opendocument doc.

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.

SAP Enterprise portal "portal content" keeps on loading not opening

SAP Enterprise portal portal content keeps on loading and not opening only in my system(computer).When I check the console for errors, I found the below error,
SCRIPT5007: The value of the property 'loadXml' is null or undefined, not a Function object
dynamicLoad.js, line 58 character 1
Please let me know whether I need to change any settings related to browser or any other issue.

Hi Venkatesh,
Make sure the hostname you use in your URL (short and FQDN) can be resolved.
ie:
myportal:<port>/irj
myportal.mycompany.com:<port>/irj
eg: in your hosts file make sure
10.23.2.50 myportal myportal.mycompany.com
Also after all the changes you have made, empty your browser cache and also force a GET by using cntrl+F5 key.
KR,
Amerjit
