SNC with BOE and SAP

Set up Secure Network Communication for report publishing in BOBJ. Set up the SNC in SAP BI and the CMC - all seemed to work.
We noticed that with SNC turned on in BOBJ it impacted the use of infoviews. A user can no longer select paramaters and execute a report via the infoview. It's as if it stopped the communication with SAP BI.
Does anyone have an idea why SNC would stop end user report execution via the infoviews?
Many Thanks

Hi,
The screenshot on page 8 says p:tomsgroupsso-botest. (Our first try was without p:)
´This is what provides the error.
Anyway, what we want to do is exactly what you describe in:
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2009/07/03/businessobjects-enterprise-and-client-side-snc-part-1-of-2
Namely: "Most customers use SNC to combine the user authentication of for example Windows AD with the SAP credentials"
You write the following:
To configure BusinessObjects Enterprise to use SNC you the following tasks are needed:
- Configuring BusinessObjects Enterprise servers to start and run under an appropriate user account
- Configure the SAP system to trust your BusinessObjects Enterprise system
- Configure the SNC settings in the Central Management Console of BusinessObjects Enterprise
- Map SAP users as aliases to Windows AD users.
So we are trying our best to do as described, but after having enabled SNC as desribed in the blog we are no longer able to import roles and therefore we can't complete the last point on above list.

BO MOBI with BOE and Mobile server on two separate servers

Hi Experts,
We need to set up a BO MOBI with BOE and Mobile server on two separate servers.
In such a configuration, how does the two servers communicate?
What should be the VAS and VMS server configurations? especially the external hostnames in the files?
We are looking for a non Blackberry(proxy) deployment.
We have installed the software,however the windows services of Authserver and the Job servers are not available in the mobile server instance
Any help would be highly appreciated.

CR2008 connectivity issue with BOE Universes(sap and non sap universes)

Hi Experts !!
Recently we tried to build/connect to a Universe in Crystal Reports2008 via 'Make a new connection tab'.
The universes are of SAP BW or non SAP Lying in BOE Servers and we are trying to build reports on them by conncting/utilizing the universes as a database for Crystal Reporting.
Our issue is most of the time we are not able to connect to the Universes and the connectivity blows out by some 'communication Error' thing initially.
While at some other points in time, the connectivity takes us to the Universe and we are able to select few characteristics and key figures from the Universe but the moment we go futher and try to run by pressing 'OK' button it blows out and say' LOGON FAILED'.
Apparantly, it is an connectivity issue with BOE server and from the different blogs it looks like it is a known issue for long.
The proposed issue resolution were like either CR2008 should be SP2 with BOE SP3 or there should be some additional .dll files defined in the paths in case of MSSQL database. None of this applies to us as we are on CR2008 with SP3 and going back to SP2 is probably not a viable option for us, and we are using Oracle as underlying database in this specific case.( i would like to tell you here that we are able to connect to Oracle Database directly though).
We have raised a message with SAP and was just wondering if we do have some solution/workaround already available to this known issue in place please?
Thanks&Regards.

Hi Amit,
Moved to Universe Forum.
If you have a case logged then no point posting here also, this is a public site and not a case management tool.
Once you do get the solution from your case please post it here also to help others if they have the same problem.

Smart form printing issue with LOCL and SAP printer

Hi,
The issues are as follows:
1. the top portion of the Invoice and PO does not print when using the SAP printer (works when using LOCL)
2. the shaded areas of the Order Confirmation and Invoice are black when printing to a SAP printer (works when using LOCL)
In an attempt to correct the printing issue is was suggested that we change the SAP printer device type from HPLJ4 to POST2. This did address the problem where the shaded areas were black but then we received reports that other reports printed "garbage". Its possible that using POST2 device type causes issues when printing to HP compatible printers.
Apparently all the testing was done using the SAP printer LOCL and not the SAP printer name and SAP spool system. LOCL uses the SAP GUI and Windows system to produce the output. Our production users at the plant site and Toledo are using SAP defined printers with the device type of HPLJ4. HPLJ4 is our standard here as OC for our printer definitions and we have HP compatible printers installed in our Toledo location and all of our remote sites. We need to be able to correctly print the Invoices, Purchase Orders, Sales Order Confirmations on our SAP printers.
What can be done to the reports to allow them to print on our HPLJ4?
Thanks, Prathap

Hi Prathap,
Check the background shading of the windows of the Smartform where you get the black boxes. If it is set something like this:
   Color: White
   Saturation: 100%
this can be the problem.
I know it is strange but some black and white printers cannot handle this setting. They only know one color black so the ignore the color setting and just take the saturation 100% setting.
The reason it works with local and device type SAPWIN is that the print data is created in Windows and sent to the printer as graphic.
Please change the shading for window MAIN -> tab 'Output Options' to:
   Color: Black
   Saturation: 0%
and this should resolve the problem.
Then create a new spool and check if the problem is resolved. See SAP Note #400050.

Aidan

SSO with WindowsAD and SAP Auth

Hi,
      we have heterogenous systems. We have reports based on oracle database and sapBW. currently we are using windows AD authentication for SSO to Oracle Database. but is it possible to use WindowsAD for oracle and SAP authentication for SAP BW?
Is it really possible to have dual SSO ?
Thanks,

Hi Ingo,
         Thanks for the quick reply. Can you please elaborate a little bit on this. Is it really possible to make SSO work for both SAP and Oracle Data ware?
Do we have any documents on this.   Really Appreciate your help on this.

Hi Pornthep,
this is not the fault of JCO/SAP. There are jar files/classes missing in the classpath. If you are using Axis2 there are some good samples on how to deploy the web service using environmental variables (keywords AXIS2_HOME, ant and maven build file). This may help you to avoid missing libraries. In case you are using Axis1 you can adapt most of the deployment procedure.
Hope that this may help you.
Best regards

Experience with UnitedPlanet and SAP B1 browser access?

Hi all, I have seen that UnitedPlanet has a very promising and nice looking Web interface to SAP B1. Has anyone used it? Do you know if it allows browser access to all the functionality of SAP B1 that you would get via the normal client. Or only just a subset? Can it be customized?
Please see their site here...
http://www.unitedplanet.com/en/sbo
Thanks,
Kw

Even though I have not used UnitedPlanet before, it is not difficult to know what it can provide through their interact Demo. It is clear that UnitedPlanet could only allow browser access to some but not all the functionality of SAP B1 that you would get via the normal client. Only the menu item under their demo would be available. It should be customizable because it use DI API and Web interface.
Thanks,
Gordon

How to use SQL String functions with JPA and SAP NW

Hi Everyone,
I'm recently got the following problem:
I have a Web Service project using JPA. But as i found out SAPs JPA implementation or more precisely openSQL restricts the use of the LOWER() function, which converts a String to lower case.
Now I am looking for some sort of workaround. I want to execute the following JPQL query:
SELECT bp FROM BusinessPartner bp WHERE LOWER(bp.companyName) LIKE LOWER(:companyName)
I assume there is somewhere a flag to disable this restrictions, because there might be cases, like mine, where this standard functions are needed.
Kind Regards,
Carl

Hi Vladimir,
no it's not the same issue, because I am asking for a solution for this problem. There have to be ways to bypass this. Otherwise you can't use JPA properly. This is too much of a restriction!
Is there no possibility to change to another implementation than openSQL?
Regards,
Carl

SAP NW7.1 with 10g and Netapp SAN on VM-Ware

Hello together,
I want to install several NW CE 7.1 Installations with an 10g Oracle DB on Windows Server 2003.
Now, our admins talk about the Windows Hard Disk Drives like C: or D:
Some admins want to implement different hard disk drives (like c: and d: etc.) to the windows server 2003 to optimize the disk access, even if the server is connected to a netapp NAS. They say the the Windows 2003 server optimizes the disk access if more then one disk drive is configured.
Some other solution architects says, that this is not necessary, because the C: partition an D: partition and e:partition is not on a real hard disk, but on a SAN connection. It will be ok, if you define a c:partition with windows and a d:partition with oracle and sap on it, because the SAN is so fast that you must not seperate the disk load.
How do you configure your Systems with oracle ?
best rgards,
Carsten Schulz

Hi,
I would do the mixing of Local Storage + SAN Storage for the same to have optimal file distributions.
Along with the suggested partition layout by Eric (as well as by SAP and Oracle) , I would add the additional stripped partition on the local Hard-disk of the Box, which will be specially used for Paging activity (Virtual Memory).
It is good to distribute all the suggested files (of different purpose) on different disks using RAID levels to deal with Data loss situation as well as to achieve higher I/O performance.
Also the RAID levels play an important role here. Storage Partition with RAID-5 level is recommended for Storing the SAP Data files (Oracle Database files). I am preferring RAID-0 level for OS executable and for SAP Executable (sapmnt) on local Hard-disks (or on SAN storage LUNs).
*Origlogs and Mirrlogs files * are very sensitive & important files (online redo log files) which contains all committed+non-committed transaction entries and which are required to deal with Instance Recovery. So they are required to store at different locations to deal with any unexpected File loss/corruption situation whenever demanded in future.
Along with the other files, the mirroring of Control files are also recommended on separate Disks location. A control file is very necessary file for the database to start and operate successfully.
Separate location for storing Offline redo-log files (ORAARCH) is recommended to deal with Media recovery which is required in performing Complete/Point-in-time Database recovery.

Ciao Andrea,
just a couple of hints:
- Did you already tried to skip logon to BOE and instead directly select BW system? this should avoid to involve snc and then BEx query should be accessible. This would be a further confirmation that issue is the SNC, even if the log you posted is pretty clear about that.
- Do you have snc installed even in local PC running MS Advanced Analysis? I Think it is necessary for the described workflow (page 24 of Admin Guide):
"With SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise as the BI platform, single sign-on works if the following conditions
are true:
u2022 BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 is configured correctly for single sign-on. For more information,
see u201CConfiguring SAP authenticationu201D in the Integration for SAP Solutions Install and Admin Guide
at http://service.sap.com/bosap-instguides SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) >
Integration for SAP Solutions > XI 3.1.
u2022 Secure Network Communications (SNC) is installed on each client PC. For more information, see
SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com SAP NetWeaver > SAP NetWeaver Library > SAP
NetWeaver by Key Capability > Security > Network and Transport Layer Security > Secure
Network Communications.
u2022 Each end user has a user account in the connected BW system."
Furthermore, if I rember correctly, there could be restriction in license using SAP Cryptographic Library (client connection is not supported: SAP notes 597059 and 397195), so you should check your SNC software.
Hope it could hep.
Regards.
Roberto.
