SICF ALIAS mandant ignored

Hi,
I have two SICF alias pointing to the same WD app:
http://blabla.com/one
http://blabla.com/two
Now in the ONE i have set up a public user to log in to mandant 200. In TWO I have set up a public user to log in to mandant 300.
It's working as desired until I log in. Once I log in to ONE (mandt=200), no matter what I write in the URL, or I open a new browser tab/window, it always goes to the same ONE (mandt=200).
Even if I go to the url TWO (mandt=300), it will still use the same session of ONE (mandt=200).
I have set up SICF logon data to point to two different mandants, I also went to error pages / configuration button and specified different mandants.
The only way to force the WD app to go to different mandant is to specify "sap-client=xxx" in the URL.
I specifically created the aliases so that the user need not bother with sap-client parameter.
Now I investigated further and found that once I logged in I can call ANY wd apps which have not this automatic login configured in SICF, like wdr_test_panel example app. I can access any of them without logging in.
Any ideas why is it not working?
Thanks
Charlie

Hi Edgar,
I clicked 'External Alias' as well. But I don't know which service I need to give as reference. As we don't have an active service for portal in SE80 transaction on R/3 side, confused to select the right service for this in SICF.
Any idea?

Uifont.ali being ignored?

I'm seeing an odd issue with one of my report server instances, with regard to font subsetting / uifont.ali.
OS: Win Server 2008 64-bit
Reports Server 11g R1
In instance A, as a test case if I add the line below to the uifont.ali ($OH\config\frcomponent\frcommon\tools\common\uifont.ali), restart the OPMN service then run a report, I can see the change has taken effect. The font is used, and this can be confirmed in the document properties.
[ PDF:Subset ]
* = "ARIALUNI.TTF"
In instance B though if I repeat the same steps it has no effect, the PDF just uses the font specified in the layout, doesn't appear to attempt the subsetting.
If I change the font name to garbage, then instance A picks up on it and reports "file cannot be found", but instance B just opens the report, with the layout fonts.
Has anyone seen this behaviour before? Is there any way to specify for instance B which uifont.ali file it should use, in case I'm modifying the wrong one? Or is there any way to prove which uifont file it's using?
thanks in advance.

XMLAgg alias: Inconsistent between 10g (10.2.0.4) and 11g (10.2.0.3)

Hi All,
We're seeing inconsistent behavior between 10g (10.2.0.4) and 11g (10.2.0.3) when aliasing a nested select statement that returns an XMLAgg.
Not sure if this is an instance of Oracle correcting behavior or if this should be considered a bug.
Sample query:
SELECT xmlelement("ItemData",
(SELECT xmlagg(
XMLELEMENT("Item", x.item)
FROM (SELECT 'item1' item FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'item2' item FROM dual) x
) AS "Items" -- in10g alias on nested select is used for grouping element name; however in 11g alias is ignored
).extract('/') xml
FROM dual;
10g result:
<ItemData>
<Items>
<Item>item1</Item>
<Item>item2</Item>
</Items>
</ItemData>
11g result:
<ItemData><Item>item1</Item><Item>item2</Item></ItemData>
The issue is the missing “Items” element, not the pretty print.
Alternate 1:
I’ve found that I can use SYS_XMLAGG together with XMLFormat so that it works in either 10g or 11g -- When using in 10g the nested select statement cannot be aliased otherwise a duplicate Items element is created
SELECT xmlelement("ItemData",
(SELECT sys_xmlagg(
XMLELEMENT("Item", x.item),
XMLFormat('Items')
FROM (SELECT 'item1' item FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'item2' item FROM dual) x
) -- Cannot alias in 10g otherwise a grouping element is created
).extract('/') xml
FROM dual;
10g result:
<ItemData>
<Items>
<Item>item1</Item>
<Item>item2</Item>
</Items>
</ItemData>
11g result:
<ItemData><Items>
<Item>item1</Item>
<Item>item2</Item>
</Items>
</ItemData>
Alternate 2:
Another alternative is using an additional XMLElement tag to create the grouping element “Items” (As above select statement w/ XMLAGG cannot be aliased)
SELECT xmlelement("ItemData",
xmlElement("Items",
(SELECT xmlagg(
XMLELEMENT("Item", x.item)
FROM (SELECT 'item1' item FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'item2' item FROM dual) x
)-- Cannot alias in 10g otherwise a grouping element is created
).extract('/') xml
FROM dual;
10g result:
<ItemData>
<Items>
<Item>item1</Item>
<Item>item2</Item>
</Items>
</ItemData>
11g result:
<ItemData><Items><Item>item1</Item><Item>item2</Item></Items></ItemData>

Hi,
This issue was discussed a couple of years ago : {thread:id=1093561}
IMO, the correct behaviour is the 11g's.
The Alternative #2 you mentioned above using XMLElement (or XMLForest) should be the only way to correctly deal with this situation in any version.
Just curious, where did you first see/learn that aliasing a subquery should create automatically an additional wrapping element?

CF8, MS-SQL, scope_identity()

In CFMX 6-7, I used to write the following:
<cfquery dbname=name dbtype=odbc name=myInsertQuery>
insert into myTable (field1,field2,field3) select top 1
'VALUE1' as value1,value2,value3 from myOtherTable where something
= something
select scope_identity() as NEWVAL from myTable
</cfquery>
<cfoutput>#myInsertQuery.NEWVAL#</cfouput>
This would work perfectly fine. Now, in CF8, this no longer
works. A slightly less complicated insert query that doesn't
involve selecting from another table does return a scope_identity
value (as well as the new result struct in CF8
queryname.identitycol), but the more complex one that I demostrate
above does not.
Has anyone else experienced this? Could this be a result of
running MS-SQL2000 instead of MS-SQL2005?
I have submitted this on the bug reports and on the cfquery
livedoc, but haven't received any response todate.

Some strange stuff....
The following works in CF7 with the built-in MSSQL or JDBC
1.0 driver.
It also works in CF8 with the built-in MSSQL driver.
insert into myTable (myField)
values ('myValue');
select scope_identity() as myAliasName
If I'm using the JDBC 1.0 driver in CF8, I must wrap the
query with the "SET NOCOUNT" statements for it to work:
SET NOCOUNT OFF;
insert into myTable (myField)
values ('myValue');
select scope_identity() as myAliasName;
SET NOCOUNT ON:
Now, when using the JDBC v1.2 driver in CF8, the SET NOCOUNT
statements do not work. The insert works but the query is
undefined. result.RECORDCOUNT=0.
If you remove the SET NOCOUNT statements, myAliasName is
undefined but the query will be defined and you will get a value
for queryName.GENERATED_KEYS. result.RECORDCOUNT=1. It seems the
alias is ignored.
If you now
remove the select scope_identity() statement so that you
only have the INSERT statement, the query will be undefined but now
the result variable will contain a GENERATED_KEYS value. Also,
RECORDCOUNT=1 even though the query is undefined. (Note: you must
remove the scope_identity() statement. If you just comment it out
with SQL comments, the insert will work but GENTERATED_KEYS will be
undefined and RECORDCOUNT=0).
I'm not sure yet what to make of this info. I'm using CF8 in
development and CF7 in production. If I use the built-in Microsoft
SQL Server driver for both environments, I don't need to make any
changes to my code. That's what I'm doing for the time being.

Keep the SQL Scope_Identity() value

I’ve got a process that inserts data into a sql server using the Execute SQL Statement.
I use the Scope_Identity() to get the index value for subsequent inserts to other tables.
Is there a way to get that value back into the process?
I need to know the value several steps later.

Workflow sendmail step hyperlink length too long

Hi all,
I have read threads to minimize the hyperlink lenth using SICF aliasing. But I am using a dynamic hyperlink whose lenth is 235(Max 255) characters.
As there's a restriction to accomodate only 132 characters in a line, I am splitting the link into four parts. But, I am unable to display the entire link. Can the dynamic hyperlink be shortened using SICF alias approach? If so, pls provide the steps.
Thanks,
Rahul
Edited by: RahulKulkarni on Nov 30, 2011 3:34 PM

Ok, I see. Check at least OSS for your problem unless you didn't already. For example note 1326061 (SAP does not "support" hyperlinks in WI description).
I have seen solutions in which they have managed to add long hyperlinks to work item description (not sure though if this will work in email). The solution included separating the hyperlink into several container elements and then using some sap script tricks (which I don't unfortunately remember) to make it work even when the hyperlink text was in several rows, etc.
For the SICF alias thing I don't have an answer.
Thanks,

Office Integration: Problems with MS Word

Hi all,
I have a problem with word integration in SAP CRM 7.0 EhP1 SP04.
I have created, activated and populated a web service and created a word template. When creating a new document in the WebUI (button "With Template") Microsoft Word not even starts. However, the Word document based on the template was enriched with data via the web service and is available in the assignment block "Documents". When I click on the link and open the document I can make changes, but then I only can save it local and have no possibility to save it at the content server which usually should be done automatically. When I use the button "Edit" in the document details page word will not start.
All prerequisites mentioned in different sap notes and forum threads (active services in sicf, alias for content management, browser settings, ...) are completed.
Has anyone had similar experiences or has ideas for a possible solution why word will not start when using the edit button?
Do I have do make any additional settings concerning content management?
Thanks in advance!
Sebastian

Hi Andrei,
Thank you very much for your quick response and your suggested SAP notes.
With the help of note [1566793 'Procedure to create word template in EHP1 & higher versions'|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1566793] I was able to successfully create a template that is filled with data from our web service. Because we have already installed SP04 the corrections mentioned in note [1459264 'Microsoft Word does not open in CRM Template Designer'|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1459264] are implemented as well.
I would be very grateful if you could suggest any more possible solutions.
Or means "For security reasons, Microsoft Word can no longer open the document and write it back to the CRM server using the save function." it is absolutely impossible to edit a Word document, that alreay exists on the content server, and save it as new version?
Appreciating your help very much,
Sebastian

Ignoring duplicate Alias in the load rule

Hi,
Could anyone tell me how to ignore duplicate alias in the load rule while creating the dimension.
Thanks,
Ankoosh

There is no option in load rule to ignore the duplicate alias. Either you need to modify the source or make aliases as unique by appending member names etc..

Create an Alias in SICF for SOA Web Services

We have various Enterprise Web Services (SOAP) which are available via URLs which look like this:
https://oursapserver.ourdomain.com/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/zServiceX/100/ConfigY/bindingZ
Whenever we change the interface (changing the Function Modules) we have to create a new Enterprise Web Service (and config and binding...) in SOAMANAGER and this is not only tedious but it means a new URL.
We would like to have a fixed URL pointing to the latest version of the service. Something like:
https://oursapserver.ourdomain.com/zws/serviceX
When we create such an alias in SICF and point it to the above path and binding it does not work. We get a 500 error with the following response:
HTTP/1.1 500 SRT: Unexpected failure in SOAP processing occurred: ("No Web service configuration for this access path: "/zws/serviceX"")
content-type: text/html
content-length: 0
server: SAP NetWeaver Application Server / ABAP 731
Can anyone explain this message, or suggest a solution?

You'd get a different message if the address was already taken. The error you are experiencing has been reported numerous times, but I would assume that it was intermittent or we'd be hearing a lot more about it than we do. I'm afraid your only options are to try from time to time, or to attempt to navigate the shoals of the iCloud support system and ask them whether they can fix it.
To contact Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee - if so you should point out that this problem is their fault and you shouldn't be charged.

Get_url_new_session ignoring used alias

Hi,
we have a stateful web application not being in our namespace (it dooesn't start with y or z either) and so we defined an external alias using transaction SICF and stored anonymous logon data there.
Unfortunateley that application needs sap-sycmd=nocookie as parameter which forces mangling the session-id into the url.
If the user clicks a logout-button the follwing code gets executed:
DATA: l_url TYPE string.
* need to call get_url_new_session
* since we have to change the url
* because a new session-id has to be mangled
* into the url
l_url = runtime->get_url_new_session( 'index.do' ).
navigation->exit( l_url ).
l_url holds a newly generated session-id which is quite good but it points to the web application itself for which we can not store anonymous logon data without a modification.
Is there a way to have get_url_new_session recognize the url-path and take it into consideration while creating an url?
In short:
web application: /foo/bar (no logon data in SICF, service not editable without modification)
external alias: /xy/foobar (logon data in SICF)
application is called via: <a href="http://www.example.com/xy/foobar/index.do?sap-syscmd=nocookie">http://www.example.com/xy/foobar/index.do?sap-syscmd=nocookie</a>
after using logout button, method navigation->exit tries to navigate to: <a href="http://www.example.com/sap(some stuff)/bc/bsp/foo/bar/index.do">http://www.example.com/sap(some stuff)/bc/bsp/foo/bar/index.do</a>
result: browser presents http authentication popup
question: how to circumvent?
thanks in advance
Matthias

Hi Daniel,
it doesn't matter whether I use sap-syscmd=nookie or not.
get_url_new_session never takes the used alias into consideration althoug it should be very easy to detect since the url should either be an alias or start with /sap/...)/bc/bsp/
If i call the application using the external alias and syscmd=nocookie all form-tags have an action-attribute pointing to the /sap(...)/bc/bsp/foo/bar which of course leads to an authentication popup after having logged off in /xy/foobar.
If I call the application using the external alias but without sap-syscmd=nocookie there is no single form-tag containing an action-attribute but get_url_new_session will return a link to /sap(...)/bc/bsp/foo/bar as well.
(I know I don't need get_url_new_session in this case)
The implementation of IF_BSP_RUNTIME~GET_URL_NEW_SESSION in CL_BSP_RUNTIME tells us:
* REMARK: this method does NOT set the new BSP to stateful, but does only
* create a URL that is does work as a stateful URL.
* For "normal" BSP calls there is no difference between
* GET_URL_STATELESS, .._NEW_SESSION and ..._SAME_SESSION.
* Then the session id is transported via a cookie, and a new
* BSP application means a new session. The result-URL will be identical.
* The difference between these three methods makes only sense when the session
* id is transported via URL. This is true, if the applicaion is called with the
* parameter "sap-syscmd=nocookie", or if it is called from the portal.
* There are 2 different techniques which are used by the portal:
* 1. the portal calls the application with the nocookie-Parameter
* 2. the portal calls the application with an external sessionid
so I consider this to be a bug too.
But maybe someone else comes up with a solution/explanation?

When I try to back up my hard drive to an external hard drive if an alias is not correct or a file is not recognised it fails and I cannot tell the sytem to ignore the file. Anyone know why and how I can get around the problem?

Hi
I have a Mac PowerBook G4 running OSX and a Hitachi external HD. When I try to back up the data from my Mac to the HD it copies much of the data across but some files such as incorrect "alias' files and some other files do not copy. The messages I get indicate there are problems but when I click the OK button the backup stops. I then have to either delete these files or copy other files with correct alias details to overwrite the existing one. I then have to start the backup all over.
I have been carrying out a bfull backup so have been copyiing the hard drive of the Mac an pasting it into the external HD. Is this my problem? If so how do i carry out the backup function. I have been informed by Hitachi that I should be using the Mac's own "Time Machine" software but I don't seem to be able to locate this.
I have been told that there should be the option to either cancel the backup or skip the file but I don't get that.
Any ideas as I am running out of patience.
vic

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

Page Alias ignored in branch to url

Apex 4.1
Oracle 10Gex
Theme: BlueGray13
I am trying to replace all app and page numbers with alias so that the url doesn't reflect numeric detail.
No problem in using app alias, however several areas do require the page number and won't accept an alias. (Tabs for one...)
Specific issue is a branch withing the same app, after processing.
Originally was a branch to a page in the same app. Passing variables and values in the URL.
Changed the branch to a branch to URL; including the variables and values.
First use, functionally this worked - data gets saved, etc.
However, even though the branch does redirect to the correct page, the page number is still reflected in the url.
When going back into the branch, you see that the branch has reverted back to a 'branch to page'.... What happened?
Does the Branch to URL only work from app to app - never WITHIN an app?
Thanks,
Rich

Figured it out.
In order to eliminate the page number and app number in a 'redirect to URL' , don't keep the '&APP_ID.' or page number -
You can either use '&APP_ALIAS'. or the alias you set on the page definition... and for the page number use the alias set on the page definition.
Going back and re-editing the branch (or redirect after action) - it no longer shows that it reverted to 'Redirect to Page'... and keeps the redirect as type URL - just as you manually created it.
So live and learn.
Rich

Urgent: what are "virtual host" and "external alias" used for on SICF?

I wonder what is their functionality?
Please help. Points guaranteed. Thanks!

Payal:
Your help is great!
The link says:
1.2.5.6
acmegate.acme.com
acmenet.acme.com
If more than one host name is assigned to one IP address, one host name is the default name, and the others are aliases. In the table, the default name is in bold type.
We want:
1) for all incoming requests from the internet to the ITS use:
acmegate.acme.com(i.e. the default name. The user will type http://acmegate.acme.com:####/xxxxxx);
2) for all responses from the ITS to the internet use:
acmenet.acme.com(i.e. the alias. The user will get
http://acmenet.acme.com:####/xxxxx).
If you could help with this, I really appreciate with 10 points.

How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?

How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?
I have 2 email accounts: [email protected] is an alias of [email protected]
In my old iPhone3 I had these accounts set up so that I could send and receive email from both accounts. I did this using the following settings:
‘Other’ POP account info:
Name: xyz
Address: [email protected]
Description: alias
Incoming mail server:
Host name: pop.mail.yahoo.com
User name: [email protected]
Password: password for yahoo account
Server port: 995
Outgoing mail server:
SMTP: smtp.o2.co.uk (o2 is the name of my phone network)
Server port: 25
‘Yahoo!’ account info:
Name: xyz
Address: [email protected]
Password: password for yahoo account
Description: Yahoo!
Outgoing mail server:
Primary server: Yahoo! SMTP server
Server port: 465
I’ve tried using the same settings in my new iPhone5, but it doesn’t work. I can receive mail to both accounts, and can send from the Yahoo account, but I cannot send mail from the alias account. When I try, it displays the message: “Cannot send mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient ‘[email protected]’ was rejected by the server”.
I’ve tried to configure the POP alias account using combinations of ‘pop.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.com’, for the incoming host, and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server. None of these have worked.
I’ve also tried setting it up using IMAP instead of POP without success. I tried configuring it using combinations of ‘imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the incoming mail server and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server.
Yahoo say that if I can't send Yahoo! Mail from my mail program, I may be accessing the Internet through an ISP that is blocking the SMTP port, and that if this is the case, I should try setting the SMTP port number to 587 when sending email via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. I don't think that this is the problem, but I tried it just to make sure - without success.
I’ve also heard that the problem might have something to do with the SPF settings of my alias domain provider. I’m not too sure exactly what SPF settings are, or how to change them, but from what I can gather it seems unlikely that this is the problem given that I was able to send mail from my alias account on my old iPhone3.
Any help much appreciated: how can I get my alias account to send emails in iPhone5 mail?
Many thanks,
Patrick

A new development: I've tried sending emails from the alias several times over the past 24 hours, but in general I've deleted them if they haven't sent within about half an hour.
However, one of the messages I left sitting in the outbox did send successfully in the end, but this took about an hour.
So: perhaps my problem is not in fact that I am completely unable to send mail from my alias, but that I can only do so intermittently and extremely slowly, and by ignoring the "cannot send" message.
Any help appreciated.
