SAP Portal users

Hi All,
Our SAP Potal 6.0 system connected with LDAP application. Once users created in LDAP application will create those users in SAP portal systems also.
All the end users accessing SAP application ECC, BI and SRM through portal. I want to check how many users using portal application alone. Please let us know the procedure.

SAP Portal user license

Dear All!
I am trying to dig for SAP's policy about SAP Portal user licensing... Is there any document or does anybody know how SAP deals with portal users' licensing?
Moreover, is it legal to map multiple portal users against single backend (SAP ECC) user? If yes then is there any limit to it?
I am waiting for the response.

Muhammad Abdul Qawi

Satish,
I read your post regarding your check on EP - R3 License. I'd like to know more about your check.
In our region, we hardly find any clear response on this issue.
My scenarios is typical : Many User Account in EP UME (either local db or link to AD), and we have lots of custom Web Dynpro application using JCo destination to read as well as write data to R3.
We're not sure how many R3 License we need for this scenario. From your reply, "one license" were mentioned for "WRITE" data to R3. I'm not sure what the "one license" mean.
Let's say we have 5 concurrent EP user having "WRITE" operation (via our web dynpro and then JCo, RFC) against R3. Do you mean we need to buy 5 R3 license ? or just one R3 license for "service account" ?
Hope you can shed some light
Thanks

Get portal users

Hi,
We are developing an abap program that need to get a list of sap portal users. With the configuration we
have on our sap portal, the portal users aren't the same as R/3 users, therefore, portal users are independent of sap R/3 users.
Another option would be to get portal users from sap portal. It is possible?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I think it would be easier to create a portal web service (you have all the API and the data at hand) and use it as a data source for Visual Composer. See this link for more info:

Hope that helps,

Help in estimating number of dialogue steps for portal user scenarios

I am looking for your expert advice in determining the number of dialogue steps for SAP portal users in the following scenarios:
1) External users accessing a SAP portal to access utilities services such as viewing bills, paying bills, update meter readings etc. The system needs to support 6000 concurrent users.
2) Internal users (customer service agents) accessing IS-U, CRM (potentially BW) via an internal SAP portal. The system needs to support 2000 concurrent users. .
It would be extremely helpful to hear from anyone that has been involved in SAP portal implementations who could advise me on number of dialogue steps to use for each user scenario.
Many thanks,
Celia

Hi Maruti,
Hope you are doing good.
Can't you just amend the portal permissions so that this access is not possible.
The PCD location should be:

I succeed to view users existing in LDAP but when I try to create new user I've the following error message:

Can I use SAP HR to drive ESS Portal user creation?

Hello
We are implementing a new instance of SAP HR and Portal for ESS and MSS and I am not sure of all the steps that need to be completed so any guidance / tips would be greatly appreciated.
Company currently has an LDAP - but not used extensively. Not all employees currently in LDAP as not all have network ids. All employees will have a SAP account to enable ESS (via Kiosks etc). ESS iViews in Portal will call SAP HR and possibly SAP BW. We have an instance of SAP already and user admin maintained via CUA - this will continue.
Scenario:
My initial thoughts are that we try to use SAP HR as the leading system to drive the ESS Portal users and access. Basically I want to create the user in SAP and assign them an ESS SAP role... then through syncronization have the user created in the Portal and have the correct ESS Portal assigned (in the Portal)
My thinking so far is to go the following way;
1) Create User Master Record in SAP (SU01)
2) Hire employee into the org structure (via HR processes)
3) Populate Infotype 0105 with SAP username
4) Populate Infortype 1016 - with SAP role to be assigned to allow ESS access (not sure about this aspect) or role could be assigned in 1) above
I am not sure of the next steps - I think there must be a way in an SAP table to map the ESS SAP role to the ESS Portal Role (is this via WP3R?)
then I am hoping that a standard job can be run (is this RSLDAPSYNC_USER) that will create the user in the Portal (UME?) and assign the correct Portal role ?
(obviously configuration needed)
For MSS and HR Power users - we would continue to assign SAP roles via SU01.
Can anyone assist with;
- Is my thinking correct in terms of how this should / could work?
- in SAP how can I map SAP Roles to Portal Roles ?
- will syncronization in SAP create the user in Portal and assign the role ? what do I need to configure?
Thanks in advance

Dear Michale,
I just dont know if this can throw some light on your prob.'
In our Orgn we had around 250 ess users and 200 sapr/3 users. Some of the r/3 users also logon to ess via their r/3 uname and password.
What we have done is like follows:
1. Created a role for only the ess users ZHRESS. For this i asked the HR functional people with sap_all profile to do all the job which the ESS users are supposed to do and tracer the authorization via tcode st01. We created the role on the basis of this trace report.
2. For the purely ESS users we created the users via tcode HRUSER and assigned then with the above role.
3. For the R/3 users who are supposed to avail the ess facility we assigned them with the role ZHRESS role in addition to the other roles assigned to them to carry out their normal R/3 transactions. Then we mapped their R/3 uname to their employee no via PA30 infotype 105.
4. Tcode HRUSER saved time which would have consumed had we done it via su01 and moreover it picked Name etc data from the HR master table. In HRUSER tcode , setting the user attributes helps to define what roles the users are to be assigned, what should be their initial password etc.
Pl let me know if it satisfies you querry.

User creation in sap portal

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in a supplier registers online and after approval(application is developed in ABAP web dynpro) is created as supplier in SAP.
At the same time the supplier should be created as a portal user with supplier email ID as his/her user ID in portal.
Though I can achived this by creating an application in java web dynpro usig UME api, but since application for approval is created in ABAP web dynpro there fore these UME API cannot be called.
If I create a portal service using UME API reference, it returns a message saying import reference cannot be used.
Is there any other way for getting users created in portal using UME api via ABAP web dynpro.
Regards
Shakti

Hi,
Can you pls clarify on below point? Is it like you are not able to add references to your Portal Service for using UME API Classes?
"If I create a portal service using UME API reference, it returns a message saying import reference cannot be used."
However pls verify below options on your requirement. These might be helpful.
Option#A)
We can still be able to use write a Simple Portal Service that accepts required inputs and creates users in the UME using UME API. And then finally expose this Portal Service as Web Service for your ABAP Webdynpro to consume it.
Below are help links based on Portal version:

If not Portal Service we can also write EJB methods using UME APIs and expose it as Web Service from the SAP J2EE Engine.

Find user SAP Portal role in an abap program

Dear all,
We would like to check the SAP Portal role of a Portal user in a R/3 abap program.
do you know if there is a bapi or a RFC module function to do that ?
For example : the user CCDEMO (exists in EP and in R/3 backend) has a Buyer Portal role. In an abap program, I would like to have this information.
Thanks
kind regards
Véronique

Unable to replicate SRM users in SAP Portal

Dear All,
We've followed the below link to auto replicate the SRM Users in SAP Portal:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/08/bae789ee8743d5b4cb2fbf93a9831b/content.htm?frameset=/en/08/bae789ee8743d5b4cb2fbf93a9831b/frameset.htm
But after doing all the configuration steps, we are yet not able to replicate the SRM users in Portal.
SPML Destination Connection test is successful and all other configurations are done and cross checked.
Is there any report program that we have to run / schedule for the user replication.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Anurag

Dear Carl,
The above link that you've shared talks about replicating user accounts from UME to the SAP System.
However in our scenario, we want the replication from SAP system to UME. So, it's a reverse scenario.
The link that I've shared above in my thread talks about my scenario and in fact we've done all the configuration steps also.
But it is not working at the moment and I believe that there must be some additional setting / trigger point that would initiate the replication.
If somebody has already come across such scenario, please advice.

Anurag Gwari

Your user has no SAP Support Portal user assigned

Hi all,
in transaction SM37 I found a job that almost everytime ends with error. Name of the job is "SM:SYNC SAP SESSIONS" and it's executed daily. The error message is :
Job started
Step 001 started (program RDSWPCISERVICEPLAN, variant &0000000000452, user ID SYS_JOBYSAP)
Your user has no SAP Support Portal user assigned
Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
Everyday the job is scheduled automatically by another job "SM:SCHEDULER". I suppose that is same on your systems.
I know the error message say that I should try to assign S-user to user SYS_JOBYSAP but I think it should not be the problem because some days the job ends with no errors. Also when I duplicate some old job (with status Cancelled) and execute it immediately the job ends in green.
Do you have any idea what could be wrong? Is it possible that there is some problem with connection to SAP almost regularly everyday in same time?
Best regards,
Zbynek

I would like to check whether the SAP service that is used by job SM:SYNC SAP SESSIONS is running in given time. I need to re-schedule job SM:SYNC SAP SESSIONS to other time. How is it possible? I think the job SM:SCHEDULER uses some table that contains detail informations about scheduled jobs. Is it right? Do you know name of the table?

Zbynek

Bex query crash for user on sap portal

hi gurus
i have a bex query which users see it through sap portal, i have the case where a user X has made some drill down between rows and columns of the query (over portal), and since then every time this user X open the query, portal shows the query on the rows-columns format that the user X used once.
What can i do in order user X see que query (on portal) in the default rows-columns??
This problem just happen with user X, others users see the query in the default format with no problems.
I ve tried deleting the portal personalization for user X on sap portal, but the problem persists...
suggets?
regards..
joker

If its Java only error then there wont be any dump in ST22.
Strange issue for you, in general if we get 500 error, there should be details of it in the same page.
You said this issue is occuring for only one user, is it getting replicated every time?
You are also seeing the same error when u login as that particular user?
Do one thing, assign him the Content Admin role and then do the preview of this iView form content admin and see if ur still seeing this error.
