System with BI - XLMA Connector

Hi All,
I would like to use the BI Integration wizard in VC and as a pre-requisite I followed the below steps ..
Creating a System with the BI-XLMA connector.
1.Created a System from par .
2.Selected com.sap.portal.systems.BIUDI
3.Chose SAP_BI_XMLA as Portal Component
4.Enter the System ID and Name Finish Open Object Editor
5.Under Property category -
Connection Properties
-Data source name: empty
-Server URL: http://server:port/sap/bw/xml/soap/xmla
-Statefulness : none
6.User Management
Logon Method: SAPLOGONTICKET
User Mapping Type : user,admin
7.Create a System Alias and add it
8.Test Connection :
( Result :
Retrieval of default alias successful
Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties )
Let me if I have wrong somewhere and what could be the possible reason the Connection Test to fail.
P.S : User is mapped properly with SSO in BI system with Portal
Thnks,
NR

Hi,
Was able to get the Connection Tests successfull.

Connect to a backend system with the BI connector via Visual Composer

Hi all,
I set up a system landscape on my notebook with the NW2004s ABAP as NSP and with the NW2004s JAVA SP7 as J2E. Both systems are integrated in the SLD, this is set up. Furthermore I installed a BI system alias as NSP_XMLA in the portal with the URL for the backend system: http://localhost:8000/sap/bw/xml/soap/xmla.
I have the same user on portal and backend system NSP. Both have admin previleges.
When I try to logon to the backend system with this URL I get this error:
"No switch to HTTPS occurred, so it is not secure to send a password"
" Choose "Logon" to continue A dialog box appears in which you can enter your user and password"
Then I can logon to the server and get a lot of XML.
But I have to manually logon to the system.
From the portal I cannot logon to the backend system with the test function. I get the error:
Alias is found, but connection failed.
I guess there must be an automatic logon preconfigured.
How can I do this?
Is SSO necessary?
thanks for any help

Hi Gregor,
thanks for your answer, which was intersting but could not solve the problem. In the meantime I discoverd the reason for it.
You have to insert the connection URL to the BW system at 2 points in the system.
1. You have to configure the XMLA connector with the Visual Administrator.
2. You must implement a system in the portal where you configure all necessary information, also the URL to the BW system.
This seems somewhat strange to me because you will then not be able to connect with two or more BW systems to the portal and VC what is centainly necessary in a real world scenario. Anyway I can now see all Infoproviders of the BW system in the VC, and SSO isn't necessary because you configure the information to login to the BW system directly in the configuration of the XMLA connector in Visual Administrator.

Creation of multiple connectors if we have backend systems with multiple

Hi All,
If I have 5 backend systems with 2 clients each.
Do I need to create UWL connector for each client.
Regards
Suneel

Hi,
You have to create a connector for each system alias. So if you have a backend with 2 clients and you want to retrieve work items from both clients you will have to create 2 systems (and 2 aliases) and 2 UWL connectors.

Is there a driver to let a ps2 keyboard plugged in with a usb connector work on my macbook pro 13inch

is there a driver to let a ps2 keyboard plugged in with a usb connector work on my macbook pro 13inch?
I know there are more threads about this subject but none was really an answer.
I got a keyboard (brand medion) with a ps2 connector. i wanted it to connect to my macbook so i bought an ps2 to usb connecter.
wile connected with my macbook the keyboard leds flash one time like they do when you put it in a ps2. but after this just doesn' t work
I think i might miss a driver or its just turned of somwhere in the system. an previous answer was said something about a safe reboot and a lot of codes but thats to hard for me.
so any good solutions????

I've never found a PS2 to USB adapter that worked, or IIRC I've never found one at all. I have USB TO PS2 but not the other way. Just go out and buy a new keyboard. PS2 is so late 90s/early 2000s

How to connect SAP R/3- System with SAP NetWeaver Portal (2004s)?

Hello to all,
sorry, can someone help me? How can I connect SAP R/3- System with SAP NetWeaver Portal (2004s)?
Thanks and regards,
Galyna

Hi,
In previous link contain this info
This describes how to connect an SAP R/3 system to SAP NetWeaver Portal using an iView
1)      Go to System Administration
2)      Go to System Configuration
3)      Go to Portal Content (Right Side Panel), open that folder.
4)      Right Click on Portal Content, a Panel is displayed select "System (from Template)".
5)      That will display a new view on right side, now select "SAP system using dedicated application server" from
the existing templates. (Other templates are possible - for example, load balanced or through a SAProuter connection string).
For this exercise, we'll use the simplest type.
6)      Choose next
7)      Give the System Name and System Id (which are mandatory fields) incase you want to give any brief notes
about the system then give them in the "Description" field.
8)      Open the Newly Created System.
9)      Now when you want to create a New System, you have to fill four Properties they are:
"Connector" - contains basic connectivty details
"Internet transaction Server (ITS) - if you wish to use SAPGUI for HTML and/or IACs",
"Web Application Server" - if you wish to access BSPs and/or Web Dynpro for ABAP and
"User Management".
You also need at least one "System Alias" has to be defined from the Display drop down menu.
Make sure you have set end user access in the Permissions drop down menu to all users who need to access the system
10) Select "Connector" property, now fill the required fields such as:
a)      Application Host (should be fully qualified hostname) - Give the R/3 "Application Name",
which can be obtained from the SAP Logon Pad (check what R/3 system you are using, right click on it , go to the properties,
it will open a window which has the Application Server Name.
b)      Logical System Name - Give the logical name as defined in the backend system
c)      SAP Client - Check the Client in the backend system and give the appropriate number (3 digits)
d)      SAP System ID(SID)* - Check the R/3 properties and give the check for System ID
e)      System Type* - Since we are connecting to R/3, select SAP_R3 system.
f)       System Number - This is a two digit number that you can find in the SAP Logon Pad
11) Select "Internet transaction Server (ITS)" property, now fill the required fields like
a)      ITS Description à Give some Description
b)      ITS Host Name - Same as "Application Host" of R/3 (when integrated ITS) and should be attached with the
port number of ITS Server (to get port number detailed description is given below). ex: hostname : port number
c)      ITS Path - To get the path along with the port number you have to Log on to R/3 system. Use the
Transaction Code "SICF", it opens a new window go to:
      default_host -> sap -> bc -> gui -> sap -> its -> webgui -> SAP GUI for HTML -> right click on
that and click "Test Service'. This will open a new window, on the address bar you will find the "port number", and
the path something like (/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui). Use the path after the port number.
d)      ITS Protocol - There are two protocols "http" & "https", select the appropriate protocol which is
visible when you opened "Test Service" window.
12) Select "Web Application Server" property , now fill the required fields like
a)      Web AS Description -> Give some Description
b)      Web AS Host Name - same as ITS Host Name
c)      Web AS Path - usually /sap/bc/bsp/sapd)*
Web AS Protocol - should be same as the ITS Protocol.
13)   Select "User Management" property, now fill the required fields like
a)      Authentication Ticket Type - Since we are not using SSO leave the field
empty i.e. put in select mode. (Please note that longer term you will probably want to use SSO)
b)      Logon Method - Select UIDPW.
c)      User Mapping Type - In case you have administration rights then you choose "admin" or in case you
just have user rights then choose "user", better go for "admin/user".
14)   Since all the required fields are filled appropriately now create a System Alias name, this can be done by following steps:
a) go to Display -> Select "System Aliases" give some Alias Name, let's call it "SAP_R/3"
15) Now that System is created we have to create a iView which will display the given Transaction Code.
16) Go To "Content Administration".
17) Go To "Portal Content".
18) Go to Portal Content (Right Side Panel), open that folder
19) Right Click on Portal Content, a Panel is displayed select "New" -> iView
20) Select iView template, click next
21) Select "SAP Transaction iView" from the list of templates available. Click next.
22) Give the iView name and iView ID. Incase you want to give any brief notes about the iView then give it in "Description" field. Click next
23)   Select "SAP GUI for HTML" radio button. Click next
24) Now select the system which you have create "SAP_R/3", give some Transaction Code, say SE12 (Dictionary Display). Click next and Finish.
25) Now Preview the iView
26) You will see a new Window where in SE12 Dictionary Display window is displayed.

This is likely to depend on the version of the OC you have. The released one isn't supposed to work with Outlook 2003. Please contact Tech Support for the latest version and help.

Hi,
Have a look at:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9320116
Directions on the installation/configuration and requirements of the outlook connector (for 2005Q4 since you haven't told us what version of the comm suite you are using) are available at docs.sun.com e.g.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/2783#hic
Outlook connector requires that you have UWC (a.k.a communication express) installed and configured, which has it's own requirements. UWC provides the single web-interface to mail & calendar & address-book. Outlook uses the address-book functionality via UWC, IMAP and SMTP for messaging/email, plus WCAP for calendar.

How to cooperate the current mail system with Sun Java Commnication Suite 5

Dear all and Shane,
Excuse me for bothering you again.
Due to time limited, I would like to know how to cooperate the current mail system with Sun Java Commnication Suite 5. I mean I would like to use current mail system (mailscanner + postfix + courier-IMAP + clamav + spamassassin + webmail) and use the outlook connector to connect to Sun Java COMMS 5 to share the calendar, contacts only.
Right now I have done the testing by using outlook, mac mail, thunderbird to share calendar,contacts via Sun Java COMMS 5 in Centos Linux 5.
My plan is as following
1. Sun Java Communication suites 5 server ( I called it comms5 ) will be in DMZ zone and will open the necessary ports in firewall.
2. I will create more than six sub domain name in Sun Delegate server and the necessary accounts within these domain names.
3. All messages will be transmitted via Postfix and clients will retrieve from Courier-IMAP
4. All Clients included other branch offices will use different mail clients to share their calendars, contacts via COMMS5 ( But how will COMMS handle the messages such like invitation ? )
Any suggestions will appreciate.
PS: Is it possible to classify the contacts in outlook address book ?
For example, when user click the receiver, it will show like as following
GLOBAL ADDRESS BOOK
--Director
--and so on
----CN.BRANCH OFFICE
-----------CN01 EMAIL ADDRESS
-----------CN02 EMAIL ADDRESS
-----------CN03 EMAIL ADDRESS
and so on
----JP.BRANCH OFFICE
-----------JP01 EMAIL ADDRESS
-----------JP02 EMAIL ADDRESS
-----------JP03 EMAIL ADDRESS
and so on
----TW.BRANCH OFFICE
and Due to the user account is located in CN.BRANCH OFFICE, it will extend the CN.BRANCH OFFICE contacts level.
Excuse me for bad English, hope you can understand it.
Best Regards,
Bruce

Also the use of Outlook Connector with a non-Sun IMAP backend isn't supported, nor is the use of a non-Sun IMAP backend possible with UWC.
Right now I have done the testing by using outlook, mac mail, thunderbird to share calendar,contacts via Sun Java COMMS 5 in Centos Linux 5. Once again I should remind you that CentOS is not a supported platform for comm-suite-5

How to integrate the portal system with non-sap system

Hi Gurus,
How to integrate Portal system with non-SAP system?
I know few ways .......Using Usermapping UIDPW method.
Using Appintegrator .....and using Business repository objects in JCA?
Is there anyother way to integrate if so please give me the names and steps for integrating it?
Thanks in Advance,
Dharani

Hi Dharani,
You can get information from the following links:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/d08b00d73001b4e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=744043
SAP CONNECTORS:- Basically Connectors are like middlewares , that we use to connect to the backend system including Non SAP systems also. Will try to explain it to u with some examples of SAP Connectors:-
a) SAP Business Connectors:-
A middleware application based on the B2B integration server from webMethods.
The SAP Business Connector enables both bi-directional synchronous communication and asynchronous communication between SAP applications and SAP and non-SAP applications.
The SAP Business Connector makes all SAP functions that are available via BAPIs or IDocs accessible to business partners over the Internet as an XML-based service.
The SAP Business Connector uses the Internet as a communication platform and XML or HTML as the data format. It integrates non-SAP products by using an open, non-proprietary technology.
b) SAP Java Connector:-
SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo) is a middleware component that enables the development of SAP-compatible components and applications in Java. SAP JCo supports communication with the SAP Server in both directions: inbound calls (Java calls ABAP) and outbound calls (ABAP calls Java).
SAP JCo can be implemented with Desktop applications and with Web server applications.
SAP JCo is used as an integrated component in the following applications:
1) SAP Business Connector, for communication with external Java applications
2) SAP Web Application Server, for connecting the integrated J2EE server with the ABAP environment.
SAP JCo can also be implemented as a standalone component, for example to establish communication with the SAP system for individual online (web) applications.
To Know more go through,
SAP Java Connectors
II) ALE Concept:-
ALE is not restricted to communication between SAP systems, it can also be used for connecting SAP Systems to non-SAP systems.
By using IDocs as universal information containers, ALE can reduce the number of different application interfaces to one single interface that can either send IDocs from an SAP system or receive IDocs in an SAP system.
SAP certified Translator Programs can convert IDoc structures into customer-defined structures.
Alternatively, the RFC interface for sending and receiving IDocs can be used in non-SAP systems.
In both cases you need the RFC Library of the RFC Software Development Kit (RFC-SDK).
This link gives a great insight into landscape for Connectivity to Non-SAP systems:-
SAP to Non-SAP systems
III) Communication Between SAP Systems and External (Non-SAP) Systems using RFC:-
When you use RFC for communication with an external (non-SAP) system, you can also implement the SAP Java Connector or the SAP .Net Connector for the conversion of data. However, there are no specific security requirements for these components, since they only perform internal system conversion functions.
The additional security recommendations for communication with external systems in this section make particular reference to cases where an external system is used as a server (SAP calls the external system). If you use an external system as a client (the external system calls SAP), the appropriate SAP-specific security mechanisms are implemented on the SAP side.
This link explains in detail all the security considerations you need to take for connecting to an External Non SAP system like, User administration, Network Security etc.
Communication Between SAP Systems and External (Non-SAP) Systems using RFC

Middleware problem -Outbound queue is stuck in SAP R/3 system with message

Hi Middleware gurus ,
We are stuck with a serious issue . We are trying to download Business partners from SAP R/3 4.6c system to SAP CRM 5.2 system using CRM Middleware
Previously we did a successful Initial download of 2 Business partners from SAP R/3 to CRM . Their BP numbers in CRM are 001 and 002 . The Delta load is working fine for the both the BPs which are already downloaded
Now , the real problem is when we are trying to download a new Business partner . When we set the Filter ( BP no 003 ) in MW adaptor object CUSTOMER_MAIN and start the Initial load again , we see that the Outbound queue is getting stuck with message STOP .
There are two queues generated in SAP R/3 system with names MASS_CRM_CUSTOME and R3AD_CUSTOME . The status for both the queues is STOP and when go for details it mentions sapsuck ..SAPMSSY1 -Message no. SR 053.
Even we checked the txn SMW01, the Bdocs message is "Recived ( Intermediate state) " for Bdoc type BUPA_MAIN.
We really dont as to why the Initial load worked fine with 2 BPs and later when want to do more BP Initial Load the Outbound queue is getting stuck
Also , by unlocking the 2nd queue R3AD_CUSTOME we are able to release it , but the first queue MASS_CRM_CUSTOME* is stuck
Please help us urgently

Hi Praveen and other Middleware gurus,
We checked on this . Actually the RFC is used for connecting to SAP R/3 system.
We also raised an OSS message on this and found a reply that in transaction CRMM_BUPA_MAP, we can map the required BP . But the SAP support guy recived an error received the error:
An RFC link is not maintained in the Middleware
Message no. CRM_BUPA_MAPPING051
We have set the RFC link , but still the problem continues!!!
Please help further..

SSO for application systems with local users?

Hi all, I'm new to Oracle Identity Management. My company is going to implement SSO for inhouse applications. However, some applications have their own local users (e.g. admin, guest, etc.) who have to login to the application system through the same interface. We put all organization users in an Oracle enterprise Directory server, which is the authentication backend of the Access Manager. After implementing webgate, such local users can't get authenticated. I'd like to know if it's possible to configure particular users/applications to bypass SSO and use local authentication? Thanks.

/ST wong

Possible solution is to create a new entry point for local users. Create two proxies one for actual user entry and another for local user. You can restrict n/w access to proxy with local login so that only few hosts based on your requirement who needs to access system with local accounts. This way you will have two web sites for single application.

Safari, chrome and firefox cannot verify identity of secure websites after upgrading to 10.7.4, apple engineers have tried multiple things including operating system with no success

safari, chrome and firefox cannot verify identity of secure websites after upgrading to 10.7.4, apple engineers have tried multiple things including operating system with no success

There are several threads about this problem, most notably one called 'Invalid Certificates' is over 4 pages long. Many of us have experienced difficulty connecting to banking and other secure sites. On my Macbook Pro, I cannot get to my banking site with any browser, however I can get there on my iMac using Safari, but get the 'Invalid Certificate' notice with FF and Chrome. The problem started after the installation of 10.7.4. I have sent a message to Apple--they will be dismayed to hear that I cannot complete an order at their online store!

Slow System with K7N420

I have a system with a K7N420 in which I had 256MB(x2) of Crucial memory. I stole on stick for a new box I was building while I waited for prices to go down. When they did I moved the second stick back to the K7N420 box. When I moved it back I also did some live updates on the drivers. Now the system takes a minimum of ten minutes to boot. At least 8 of those bedfore the USB comes up (intellimouse goes red?). When I check the system it shows that I only have 480MB of memory instead of the 512MB that is there. I boot seperatly on each card and they each register as 224MB. I have moved them from slot 0 to 1 or 2 with the same results. I upgraded to BIOS V2.8 and that didn't help. Have I introduced something ro has the board gone bad? Any suggestions? Thanks.

32mb goes to the onboard video, but the long boot problem?
Well I am thinking one of those updates is causing problems or your HD may be going bad. If you have nothing to lose but time then I suggest a clean install, SP1 and then the unified drivers 2.03.
Stay away from live update or any MSI drivers for now.
Oh and if you used BootVis from micromush that could also be causing some problems.

Solstice DiskSuite[TM] Software: How to Delete and Reset a Lost Root Password on a System With a Mirrored Root Disk [ID 1010755.1]
Solution
Steps to Follow
How to delete and reset a lost root password on a system with a mirrored root disk.
1) Insert the Solaris[TM] Operating System CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
2) Once the CD-ROM is in the drive, perform a stop-a. This brings the system down to the "ok" prompt.
3) From the "ok" prompt, perform a single-user boot from the Solaris OS CD-ROM.
ok boot cdrom -s4) At the "#" prompt, determine which disk is the system's boot disk (containing the root file system). There are several Oracle architectures and various configurations of systems when it concerns a boot disk. As a general rule, most boot disks are attached to controller 0 (c0). Usually, their SCSI target is
either 3 (t3) or 0 (t0). However, Oracle machines are very flexible, and the boot disk could be at a different location. If you are not sure which disk is your boot disk, perform the following steps to determine the location of the boot device:
a) # eeprom boot-device
The output might appear to be simple, such as "disk" or "disk1" or more complicated, such as a pathname "/iommu/sbus/espdma@4,8400000/...../sd@3,0:a".
b) Make note of the boot-device. If the boot-device is a pathname, it is beyond the scope of this information to provide the location of the customized boot disk. However, for most configurations,
finding the customized boot disk is an easy task. The "Format" command shows all available disks:
#format
Searching for disks...done
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
(enter its number): c) Enter d to exit format.
Now, you will have an idea what disks are on the system. Therefore, if the boot-device is "disk" and format shows "c0t0d0" (on some systems "c0t3d0") then that is the boot device. If boot-device
shows "disk1" and format shows "c0t1d0," then that is the boot device. If format shows multiple disks, then based on what the "eeprom boot-device" command shows, the system's boot disk would be:
boot-device format
disk c0t0d0 or c0t3d0 (machine dependent)
disk1 c1t0d0
disk2 c0t2d0
disk3 c0t3d0 or c0t0d0 (machine dependent)
and so on ....
5) Because the system was not brought down gracefully (no root password means having to use the Stop-a keystroke to "crash" the system), you need to run "fsck" to clean the root partition (slice). The fsckalso confirms that you selected the proper slice.
# fsck /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
where the X and Y are determined by the previous procedure. It is also possible to have a root partition which is not on slice 0 (s0), but, again, that is not a standard configuration.
The output of "fsck" looks like this:
** /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
** last mounted on /
** Phase 1 .....
The second line in the output of "fsck" ("** Last mounted on /") confirms that this is the correct root filesystem partition. Answer "y" to any questions fsck asks. There shouldn't be too many items
needing repair. If there are, there is a possibility of a corrupted root filesystem. After fsck is finished, mount the root partition:
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /a
Again, X and Y are the same as for the fsck command.
For example:
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /a
6) From the root prompt, set the proper TERM type command (such as vt100, dtterm, sun, and so on)
by entering this command:
# TERM=sun; export TERM
7) Use the VI text editor to edit the /etc/shadow file:
# vi /a/etc/shadow
8) The first line of the /etc/shadow file is the one you want to modify.
It looks like this:
root:c3.yAVmYodWsc:6445::::::
9) Delete every character between the first and second colons in the first line of the file. When you finish deleting the characters, the line should look like this:
root::6445::::::
10) Press the Escape key, then enter the following to save the file and exit vi:
:wq!
11) Use the VI text editor to edit the /etc/system file andremove the "rootdev" line shown below:
# vi /a/etc/system
*rootdev:/pseudo/md@0:0,0,blk
Don't comment out the "rootdev" line. Actually remove it.
12) In the /a/etc/vfstab file, replace the lines for the system filesystem meta-devices with their underlying partitions. For example, change lines from
/dev/md/dsk/d0 /dev/md/rdsk/d0 / ufs 1 no -
to
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 / ufs 1 no -
ONLY change the lines for root (/) and the filesystems that were affected by the actions you took in step 1 of this procedure. All other metadevices may stay as is in this file.
13) Unmount root, check the root filesystem, and then stop the system:
# cd /
# umount /a
# fsck /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
# stop-a
14) Boot to single-user mode:
ok boot -swTHIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT; YOU MUST BOOT TO SINGLE-USER MODE TO AVOID FILESYSTEM CORRUPTION.
If the system does not boot to single user mode, you might have made a mistake in the previous steps.
15) Because the root password was cleared in an earlier step, press Return when prompted for the the root password. Once you are in single-user mode, you must clear the metamirrors and all the sub-mirrors for the root filesystem. For example, if root (/) is d0, run the following command:
# metaclear -f -r d0
Running the metaclear command not only clears the metamirror but also clears the submirrors that are part of this mirror.
16) When the metamirror is cleared, continue the boot up to multiuser mode by either pressing CTRL-D or by entering the following:
# exit
Now everything should be as it was, except that the system partition is on the underlying partition and isn't mirrored. You will simply need to re-create the metadevices for the root mirror as you had originally.
many thanks

Hi,
Halt your machine.
Boot with fail-safe mode.
format and list out the disks. (You can get the root & mirror disk (c#t#d#) details from /etc/lvm/md.tab of your root or mirror disk. Earlier explorer output may help)
Mount the root disk and remove the password entry in /etc/shadow
umount it.
Mount the mirror disk and remove the password entry in /etc/shadow
umount it.
reboot the server.
Hope this helps!
