System dependent URL iView

Hi All
I want to create an iView where the URL will be different depending on the system
Could you please explain how I can acheive this
E.g.
Dev URL = URLdev.com
QA URL = QASurl.com
Prod URL = ProdURL.com
Do I need to hardcode it on every system or is there any other way?
Thanks in advance

System on URL iView

Hello all,
I've created a System and a System alias to connect a Note Webmail. Everything is fine but when I create a URL iView, as I've read on SAP procedure, I cannot find any System alias on System combobox.
Does anybody knows why, when you edit an URL iView object, there's nothing on System combobox? I've configured a lot of System alias and gave all the permissions to the alias.
Thanks,
Andre

Hi Andre,
I tested it using Yahoo Mail and the Yahoo alias is being showed in the URL iView.
The problem can be located in the system permissions. Have you checked this issue ?
I'm getting some strange problems with this new way to implement sso to web app. The old one (appintegrator) seems to work better.

BSP vs URL iview

One can access a BSP application using an URL iview from portal.
I would like to know when does one use a BSP iview(application/alias)
What are the contrasts/comparisions.?

Hi Rita,
BSP is a application specific iView. The Parameters which you give are Start Page.
URL iView is a generic iView which we can use to access URL in the web in the Portal.
If you have access to Portal you can create both the iViews and if you can see the properties of each you will see a lot of changes like the System, Style Sheet etc.
to conclude BSP iView is created for the BSP applications which we write in our R/3 system. and URL iView is for the external web URL's which we would like to have it in Portal.
go through the link for URL iView:

System option is empty in the url iview property editor

hi
I wanted to create a URL iview. I would also like to specify the System for the url iview. But when I go to the URL iview property editor, when I select the dropdown list next to system, there are no systems listed.
Please explain me how to make the system available for the url iview.
Thanks for the help
-Mike

Hi,
Can you detail your requirement. URL iviews are iviews in which you can set any URL and the iview will connect directly to it. So, you cannot force set the URL iview to use a System.
I guess you are trying to call some BW report. For this you can try to create an iview based on component
com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap and then select the application. In this iview you should be able to specify the system.
Cheers!!

SSO to BW reports via URL iView

Hi all,
I've searched the forum on this but could not get a clear guide. Here's my scenario:
1. We use Windows logon credentials to sign on to the Enterprise Portal
2. Once signed in, authorized users load a URL iView.
3. The iView contains URL links to SAP BW reports.
4. Based on user's role, they can access only certain reports.(Available report URLs will be different)
5. User clicks on the link and opens another Internet Explorer window to show the BW report <b>without signing on</b> again.
Key question: How do we incorporate the SAP Logon Ticket into the URL and how do we configure BW server to accept SSO based on this URL?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Kok,
The first step is you need to create a system object under system administration --> system configuration --> system landscape. Expand the portal_content. Right click the folder and create a new folder. Then right click on the folder to create a new system. This system object should point towards the BW system. You need to give the details of the BW server. The right click the system object and create an alias.
If you are using BW 3.5, you need to follow the 13 steps given under img. If BW version < 3.5 then you have to export the portal ticket to BW and BW ticket to EP.

Problem with URL iView regarding fetch mode and SSO to non-sap webapps

Hi,
I have created an URL iView which opens an internal webapp. When the fetch mode is set to client-side the page is displayed for the user. But when I set the fetch mode to server-side, the page cannot be displayed by the user.
No proxy is needed. I tried to open the wepapp direcly on the portal server without any problem. Are there any additional points to be considered?
On the other hand I want to realize SSO to this webapp (form based authentication) with user mapping. Is it correct, that I have to user server-side fetch mode, when I want to use the POST request method?
Thanks ahead,
Bernd

Yes.

Have a look at System Administration - System Configuration - Service Configuration - Applications - com.sap.portal.ivs.httpservice
This is used to do the Server side fetch.

Difference: SAP BW Report iview - Query iView - URL iView

Hi,
I want to show BW reports on the portal. Can anybody suggest me the different ways of doing it ? And also let me know about checklist of steps that need to be performed.
Can anybody tell me the difference between showing BW reports through URL iviews, showing reports through Query iView and showing reports through SAP BW Report iView ?
Which one can i use for showing BW reports taking into consideration the implementation of SSO between the two? I tried the URL iView (using the Web URL of reports generated by BW) but it asks for Username/password. Is that the problem with SSO. How can i check if SSO parameters have been set or not. I have imported the verify.der to BW System and added that to ACL. Is there anything else which is required?
Thanks in advance.
Rgds,
MA

Hi Manoj,
I feel BW report iview will solve your problem. You can create a query sting in BW query designer and give the same in BW query string text area while creating BW report iview.
In the case of an url iview you are just giving a URL link of the BW report (this will ask for username/password).
But, in the case of a BW report iview you can view the required query as an iview (user mapping can be successfully done in this case) You should give fully qualified domain name in Was server option while creating the system.
While using the logon ticket Login id of both the system (ie BW and Portal) should be the same.
Refer the link for SSO using logon ticket)

Need to send cookie to non-SAP backend from URL iView

Hi,
I have a backend application which takes a cookie for
(non-SAP) SSO purposes. I have created an URL iView
in my EP 6.0 SP2 that correctly displays the content
of that web page, i. e. the login screen.
However, even when I have a cookie in my browser, it still
displays that login screen, i. e. the cookie is either
not sent or not recognized.
I then created a simple test servlet on a backend server
that prints the contents of all the HTTP headers. When
I connect my browser directly to that page, I can see
the cookie. When I connect my iView to that URL, I
do not see the cookie. So apparently the iView does
not send the cookie.
As I learned, in EP 6.0 SP3 there is a "Fetch Mode"
property for URL iViews which allow to define whether
the URL in the URL iView should be retrieved by the
server or the client. This seems to indicate that in
SP2, always the server issues that request, which would
explain why there is no cookie in the request (since only
the browser holds these cookies). So I presume if I
would use SP3 with Fetch-Mode set to Client, this might
work. But then again, this fetch mode is not really
encouraged by the documentation and only recommended
if you are really desparate ...
So the question basically is:
- are my assumptions above correct?
- is there a way to have the EP server send cookies to
my backend systems with SP2?
I'm a little puzzled that this doesn't work out of the
box, since my understanding was that SAP SSO tokens are
also transported to backend systems using cookies, and
this is supposed to be on by default for EP. So I was
expecting to see at least the SAP SSO tokens in all
HTTP requests to backends. Apparently, the world is
not that easy.
Any insights would very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Matthias

Additional thoughts:
In general your assumptions are correct. When using client side fetch mode then the cookie should be forwarded, and I would not expect problems there. When using server side mode then the cookie domain changes and becomes the portal domain, and as a result the cookie is kept in the browser, but is a little useless. I'm not 100% familiar with how we solve this problem when using SSO2 cookie in server side. Yoav, can you elaborate ?
The reason the documentation was not in favor of client side is because at the time the idea was to encourage the users to use the portal server cache. However, this seems less relevant now, because only the first request will be cached, but not the inner calls of the html page.
Bottom line - I don't see any issue with using client side, and actually the default in FP is client side. So I would simply modify the iview to use it.

Hi Avadh,
Thanks for your reply.
I tested thru connection test of the system , it was tested successflly without any issues. all are into tick mark only.
but when i am trying to use the system alias name while creating Trasaction iview also i am not able to get the system alias name in the dropdown for selecting the system alias.
but system alias what ever it is "BIDCLNT100" is in active and connection test is done correctly without any issues.
Please let me know the problem why i am not able to get the same system alias name "BIDCLNT100" not able to get in the drop down list while creating the transaction IView??
Please reply , Thanks in advance

How to set dynamic host name in the URL of a URL iView?

Hello,
I am using a standard URL iView that points to some J2EE app I've written and deployed on the same server.
I would like to set the host name to be a dynamic one, this way I won't need to change the iView URL when transporting it from one portal to another. As far as I know the system for a URL iView only controls authorizations but cannot replace the full URL set in the iView.
Any idea who can this be achieved?
Roy

Hi Mrityunjay,
forced URL at runtime will require me to call the URL iView from another iView that I will need to code (setting the URL in the Request object). If I did all this I might as well call it from this iView already.
I would like to do it with no further developments. I would have thought that SAP has constants that can be plugged in the URL for this type of thing, i.e. $hostname...
Rgds,
Roy
