Server-side Trust with CryptoLib &/or 3rd party tool

I have a new installtion:
> BOE XI 3.1 SP2 (Solaris)
> SAP Integration Kit
Intend to enable server-side trust / SNC betw BOE and BW.
Separately, BASIS just installed/config'd new standard tool (Quest's Vintela) on BW for SSO from SAP GUI clients to BW. I notice some parms (such as snc/gssapi_lib) now are configured to Quest/Vintela libraries on BW.
Possible to have both Vintela and CryptoLib co-exist/co-active on BW? ... or is best approach (even forced / only approach) is to standardize on one? ... likely install Vintela on BOE and use Vintela for BOE-to-BW SNC?
thx, Clay

Hi Clay,
I believe you're right, that they can't co-exist for use as SNC libraries. I really don't have a complete understanding of how this all works, but I believe they can co-exist if the sapcrytolib is used for RFC that is not using SNC. Maybe someone else can confirm, deny, or expand on that?
Even though we (Quest) donu2019t always know the exact configuration options for each application that supports SNC, as a certified SNC interface it should always be possible to get things working in a fully supported manner. If you would like to work with me on this directly I would be happy to help. You can find my e-mail address under my business card.
Thanks!

Scheduling web intelligence reports from SAP EP Portal : Server Side Trust

Hello,
We have set-up SSO between SAP EP 701, SAP BI 701 and Business Object XI 3.1 to allow users to access reports without having to sign-on again as explained here :
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/09/19/businessobjects-and-sap--configure-sap-authentication
But, we have recently been contacted by some users because when scheduling Webi Report from a link within the portal they have the following errors :
u201CA database error occured. The database error text is: Unable to connect to SAP BW server System received an expired SSO ticket. (WIS 10901) u201D
The user told us that he doesn't encounter the error when :
Login in directly to the BO Infoview (without SSO from the SAP Enterprise Portal.)
The first Webi scheduling is succesful from the portal (I suppose because the portal token is still valid)
I understand that we also have to configure the Server Side Trust between BO Enterprise server and the SAP BI7 backend as explained here , but I do not really understand its purpose
https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001646962008E/XI3-1_BIP_SAP_INSTALL_EN.pdf
I've found a similar discussions here ;
Issue with SAP Single Sign-On and Scheduling Reports
I still have some questions :
If we configure the Server Side Trust between BO Enterprise server and the SAP BI7 backend .
The Portal Logon ticket will remain an issue at some point of time , does it mean tha the WeBi report job sheduling should not be perfromed from the SAP EP Portal ?
We haven't configured the Server Side Trust , yet the users told us that they are able to schedule webi report directly from the BO Infoview ? How is it posible ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards.

Thank you Mr Hilgefort for your detailled explanations.
I now have to provide some explanations to my managers, and to be honest , there are still some points that
are unclear to me, and it would be extremely helpful if could confirm (or not) the follwoing points.
When scheduing Webi report from the sap portal, we're getting SSO errors.
SAP provide the follwoing note explaining how to extend the validity of the J2EE token (Portal token), but this is not a long term solution, at certain point of time the ticket will expire. Webi shceduling should not be perfromed from the Portal.
Sap note 1352127 - Scheduled Webi report fails with: A database error occurred. The database error text is: Unable to connect to SAP BW server System received an expired SSO ticket
Webi Scheduling should be performed from BO Infoview. SNC should be configured between BO server and SAP BI7.0 backend.
We should Configure Server SNC as explained in the BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Solutions Installation and Administration Guide at Chapter "Configuring SAP for server-side trust". (1341043)
The SAP Portal is not involved here and is not an option even with the configuration of SNC/Server side trust.
thank you for your patience.
Best Regards.

Server Side Trust and Webi Report Scheduling via Portal

Hello,
I have opened a similar thread about Server Side Trust and webintelligence reporting through the portal a few months ago.
At the time, we had some complaints about users that were getting SSO errors after 8 hours when scheduling WeBi Report through the SAP Portal.
Basically, the users connect to the Portal and then FROM the Portal, to a BOI view pointing to the Infoview.
Then, after investigatinon, it was my understanding that the WebI Reports should be scheduled through an Infoview token and not a portal token. In concrete terms Server Side Trust had to be implemented between the SAP BW Backend and the BOE 3.1 Server.
And after that the users who wanted to schedule WebI reports should connect to the Infoview directly (using their SAP BW credentials) to generate an Infoview Token.
Scheduling Webi reports from the Portal will not be solved by implementing Server Side Trust, since it is only a matter of time before the the Portal token expires ( 8 hour by default).
Now, I have configured the server side Trust between our BOE 3.1 SP2 and our BW 701 system, SNC configuration, PSE generation, exchange of certificats , etc ...
I did some scheduling tests connecting directly to the BO Infoview and it works.
But of course, now I am being told by the users that this solution is not acceptable.
The Portal being the entry point of our Infrastructure, they don't want to connect to the Infoview to schedule their reports.
So I opened a SAP customer call to try to have an official and clear statement from SAP but I never obtained it.
I had a look at my SAP BO courses but I am still confused
For example according to SAP BO100 , server side trust should be implemented when ;
"BOE client session authenticated using Single sign on using SAP token
(Enterprise Portal) and SAP reports are being scheduled at a future point in
time (after token expiry date)."
Anyone can help me to clear my mind ?
Thank you
Best Regards

Hi,
first of all lets separate the UI portion from the technical portion.
on the technical side:
yes for scheduling the Web Intelligence document you will need Server side trust
on the UI side:
- scheduling is part of InfoView
- scheduling is part of the KM integration with the portal
if that is not accepted from a UI point of view from the user you can create your own application to schedule documents using the SDK.

SNC server side trust based on kerberos - is it possible ?

Hi all,
We're trying to make this scenario work:
Existing SAP system uses ntlm sso in the sapgui.
We're now in the process of deploying BOE in the company.
We're using sso with winad to infoview which works
We're trying to configure server side trust between SAP and BOE due to requirement of 'multipass burst' functionality
This causes a conflict between sso in the gui and the dll used for setting up SNC server side trust.
I've tried to figure out how to use the kerberos dll gx64krb5.dll on the SAP server to enable both sso solution in gui and server side trust between SAP and BOE, but I cannot generate the SNC PSE in the SAP trust manager.
I've not been able to find threads/info in sap notes on how to set SNC PSE using kerberos dll - is it possible.
Can we have both sapgui sso to SAP and server side trust bewteen SAP and BOE ?
TIA.
Torben

Dear Torben and Ingo,
For your question: "Can we have both sapgui sso to SAP and server side trust bewteen SAP and BOE ?"
Have you done implementing those? Because we already have client SNC (between SAP GUI and SAP BW) using Kerberos SSP (since SAP Crypto can only be used for Server SNC).
And now we're going to implement server SNC (between SAP BW and BOE) using SAP Crypto.
Is it possible to have these 2 together? Because some of the settings in RZ10 will overlap between the two like below. And if we continue with server side trust between SAP BW and BOE, settings for Client SNC will need to be overwritten and it will stop working.
1. RZ10 setting
Kerberos SSP (between SAP GUI and SAP BW)
snc/gssapi_lib = D:\usr\sap\gx64krb5.dll
snc/identity/as = p:SAPServiceSID(at)myorgunit.myorg.mycountry
SAP Crypto (between SAP BW and BOE)
snc/gssapi_lib = $(DIR_INSTANCE)\exe\sapcrypto.dll
snc/identity/as = p: CN: mybwserver, OU: myorgunit, O: myorg, C: mycountry
2.
And also with client SNC using Kerberos SSP we need to tag each user in SU01 with SNC name, whereas this is not needed for server SNC. If i leave this SNC name on each BW user, will that make my server SNC between BW and BOE not working?
3.
Overlap in location of file named "ticket" between SAP
Crypto and Kerberos SSP, which is to be copied to the same location
below:
<DRIVE>:\usr\sap\<SID>\<instance>\sec\ directory (on
Windows).
4.
Overlap in environment variable named SECUDIR that points to the
directory where the ticket resides.
Is there any documentations that explain how to get these 2 SSO to run together?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
aswin

Service desk integration with 3rd party tool

Hi all,
I've problems understanding the setup of connecting a 3rd party service desk tool with solman itsm.
So far it's clear that I need to activate and configure the service provider and consumer in soamanager.
The webservice then will be called by the 3rd party tool with corresponding data.
However, according to spro I need to define a value mapping for incoming/outgoing calls.
I do not understand this mapping... the WSDL of webservice ICT_SERVICE_DESK_API contains lots of fields, but in spro -> value mapping I can only define the following fields (which are hard coded in type pool AIICT):
SAPCategory
SAPComponent
SAPDatabase
SAPFrontend
SAPIncidentID
SAPIncidentStatus
SAPInstNo
SAPOperatingSystem
SAPSoftwareComponent
SAPSoftwareComponentPatch
SAPSoftwareComponentRelease
SAPSubject
SAPSystemClient
SAPSystemID
SAPSystemType
SAPUserStatus
What about attachments, priority etc.?
Will the interface parameters mapped to these ones?
For what purpose do I need to maintain the value mapping?
Can you give me a hint?

Server Side Trust - Server Group

Hi,
One of the steps to create publications / server side trust (as per SAP Press BO and BW Integ book) is to create a Server Group and add certain services to it. It says that the Destination and Publication Job Server should be added. I dont have them - will that be a problem?
Thanks

Hi,
They dont seem to exist so I am guessing I will have to create them myself?
Could you or someone please confirm that the following selections should be made when creating the servers:
DESTINATION JOB SERVER - Service Category: Core Services, Service: Destination Delivery Scheduling Service
PUBLICATION JOB SERVER - Service Category: Core Services, Service: Publication Scheduling Service
Also, do I need to include any of the additional services when creating the servers?
Many Thanks

Configure SAP for server-side trust

Hi all,
I am installing BusinessObejcts XI integration for SAP Solution. I need configure SAP for server-side trust. I have read BussinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Solution Installation Guide. In chapter 6, It introduce how to configure SAP Server-Side trust. But I don't understand how to configure SAP for server-side trust, specially configure SAP Cryptographic. Would you please to give me more detailed explanation?
Please advise,
Duypm

Hi Duypm,
the SAP server side configuration is part of the Installation Guide Chapter 6. It starts on Page 94.
If you unclear about this and what SNC configuration means for the SAP server make sure you talk to the administrator for the SAP system. You need administrative rights for the SAP system and the system will have to be restarted as outlined in the installation guide

Have iMac with IMAP email, 3rd party. Use a rule to sort emails into various boxes. One box does not appear on Mail in new iPhone 5C. Emails sorted into that box are also missing.

Have iMac with IMAP email, 3rd party. Use a rule to sort emails into various boxes. One box does not appear on Mail in new iPhone 5C. Emails sorted into that box are also missing. Any suggestions?

In which this just gets weirder and weirder...
I logged onto iCloud.com, signed into my account and created a rule there that emails from my husband's address should be allowed into the inbox. I sent another test msg from him to me and got the New Mail notification sound, the new mail showed up but in a flash disappeared. This happened in the space of about 3 seconds.
Messages from his email address are not even showing up in the Trash folder. WTH?

OLAP Services and Infobus -- can they work to interface with 3rd party tools?

I would like to link 9i OLAP data to 3rd party tools like Formula One or other Java Report Writers. Can this be done using infobus or other technologies? Does 9i OLAP services act as an infobus data provider?
Has anyone done this? If so can an example be provided?
Thanks

Has anyone done this? If so can an example be provided?
Thanks InfoBus is a Java standard for dynamic data interchange. The Oracle9i OLAP API does not act as an InfoBusDataProvider. It's compatible but not supported. Also, InfoBus has been determined not well suited for multidimensionality.
BI Beans actually has some code in its Query object to act as an InfoBusDataProvider, but it is hidden due to inadequate testing and review, plus there is a perception that there is a lack of strong interest in this feature.
So the short answer is that OLAP API and BI Beans do not provide InfoBus support. If there is a public outcry for InfoBus support, Oracle OLAP would consider it as a feature for a future release.
As for another technology to link Oracle9i OLAP data to 3rd party tools like Formula One or other Java Report Writers, I'll look into it and report back.

TNS-12154...3rd Party tools won't connect to 9.2iEE

Platform:
Pentium 4 2.4GHz
Windows 2000 (SP2)
Oracle 9iEE 9.2
OWB 9.2
Quest Software Data Dictionary for Oracle
Other 3rd party tools accessing Oracle RDBMS
We have installed Oracle 9iEE, and OWB 9.2. OWB Client and Server components have been installed into their own 'oracle_home' directories. All software is installed on the one machine.
We have also installed Quest Software Data Dictionary for Oracle on the machine.
We have found 2 TNSNAMES.ORA files on the machine....one for the database itself, and the other in the OWB Client 'Oracle home'
The OWB client connects with the database ok, but the Quest software and other 3rd party tools come back with the error of TNS-12154. 3rd party tools were ok while we had 9iPE installed. But have stopped connecting with the oracle database since the installation of 9iEE and OWB, and come up with the TNS-12154 error each time we try.
We have 3 'Home' entries in the Registry under HKEY_LOCALMACHINE>SOFTWARE>ORACLE. One for 9iEE, and 2 others each for the OWB Server & Client.

My guess is the 2 TNSNAMES.ORA files on the machine, and the contents of the Registry 'Home' entries are causing the issues. But I'm not sure of what actions to take, and why initially the service instances come up as 'UKNOWN', and then the other 2 appear as 'READY'. ora92ee.mydomain has 2 instances of the service....baffling.
Is it to do with installing 9iEE on a single machine, rather than a Client/Server environment?
Any ideas upon how we can get our 3rd party tools to successfully connect to the Oracle database again will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Open Hub 3rd party tool - API not returning data table

I am implementing a 3rd party tool to get data from BI using the Open Hub Service.
I have my server running and the API functions are working somewhat, but I have two problems.
When I get notified by BI (RSB_API_OHS_3RDPARTY_NOTIFY), the REQUESTID field is always 0. Why? This should be the request id of the Data Transfer Process; I can see this id in BI.
The second problem is when I make the call to read the data (I hard code the request ID), everything comes back fine, except the table is empty. I know it's not empty because the DTP said it create a table with many rows and I can see them in BI. Why is the table empty?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Tim
PS: I'm using SAP JCo to implmenet the server and the API. And I'm using BI 7.0.
Edited by: Tim Wise on May 17, 2008 4:58 PM

I am not sure I should continue: I am not an expert with the use of these API - in fact I have never used them:-)
This is in case the discussion would help you:
My understanding is that the 'green' status is the status of the 3rd party tool. Only when the 3rd party sets a 'green' status will extraction proceed. The third-party can choose to stop extraction by setting a 'red' status.
See the link below:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/43/8dea54c4e273e2e10000000a1553f6/content.htm
Guess all these APIs are geared for automatic processing - another link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/59/90070982d5524b931ae16d613ac04a/content.htm
RSB_API_OHS_3RDPARTY_NOTIFY: This function module has no source code - the code needs to be implemented in the 3rd party tool to do whatever is required with the parameters provided. The import parameters required have to be supplied to it.
That's it, I am retiring:-)

Which 3rd party tools can support Open Hub Destination?

Hi BI experts,
In the Open Hub Destination Type, I have a choice between Database Table, File or Third Party Tool. From what I read from SAP documentation, the Third Party Tool which is supported is Ascential. Apart from Ascential, what are other 3rd party Tools can Open Hub Destination link up to ?
Can Microsoft BI be linked up?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Anthony

Hi Anthony,
Yes, SSIS can be used with Open hub.

Infospoke - 3rd party tool not setting request to G (successful )

Hi,
Anyone of you had experience of this issue before? I have an infospoke that loads data to the DB table. A 3rd party tool ( Datastage) extracts the data from the table. Everything works as expected, BW sends notification to 3rd party tool that data is ready for extraction. 3rd party tool extracts the data successfully, but the problem is that the request is not set to G (successful). The people working on Datastage said that their system issued a message to BW that extraction is successful but it seems BW did not accept/receive it. So although the data has been successfully extracted to the 3rd party tool, the request is still set to N (new) and not G. No errors are issued.
Below is the Infospoke Message run:
1. Extraction is running
2. Extraction running in background process BW_OH19802
3. Data Package 1
4. Send message to DATASTG
5. Message from DATASTG confirmed
6. The extraction ended successfully
7. Data is being read: Open hub destination DW1234
8. Finished reading data: Open hub destination DW1234
In this issue, the log should have:
9. Datastage job completed successfully (status set to G)
10. Status for request 154,567 was set to G.
But the infospoke only run up to 8. The catch here is that this doesnt happen consistently. Sometimes the infospoke status is correctly set. but sometimes it's not.
Any ideas what cause this problem? Will really appreciate any inputs.

Hi,
The Thirdy party tool (in this case datastage) is responsible for setting the status to G in the table RSBREQUID3RD. If this does not
happen then normally the problem is with the Third party tool and often with the RFC communication. However there is an known issue on the
BI side as explained in the note 1243168, if this is relevant for your BI support package level please apply the note and check if the problem
still exists.
Best Regards,
Des.

Are there any 3rd party tools which provide Microsoft Azure IaaS diagnostics?

Are there any 3rd party tools currently, which can be used for giving detailed diagnostics Information about the IaaS environment (like on VM's, Virtual Network etc.) in a detailed report format periodically? Please note that I am looking for any such tools
around IaaS environment diagnostics here, and not about Application diagnostics.

Hi Bahree,
Microsoft does not suggest a specific third-party product. However, we do use them, and see lots of other customers use them.
Paraleap: Monitoring tool - http://www.paraleap.com/AzureWatch , You may browse to these site and few others to learn more, and chat with their folks directly on how they support Windows Azure.
I see that Microsoft has published a self-help diagnostic package for running Windows-based virtual machines (VMs) in Azure IaaS and this this diagnostic package does not require opening a Support Request with
Microsoft
This package helps to diagnose and resolve common issues on running Windows-based VMs in Azure IaaS
We may download the diagnostic package from Microsoft's Support Diagnostics Self-Help Portal:

Interfacing to 3rd Party tools from BW

I realize Open Hub is the SAP solution to interfacing BW data to 3rd Party tools.
However does anyone see a problem in general with the approach of developing custom web services on the BW box that would be called by a third party tool and in turn return Master Data and ODS objects?
Wardell

Hi
You can also use direct SQL reads to the BA DB (for ODS only), Also ABAP code.
If you want to manipulate the data (transactional and Master data) you can use BAPI functionality.
In our company we used BAPI to manipulate SD data from a third party tool (Web based) but not on BW.
