The BI portal

Hello,
Could anyone provide me with info on the so called BI portal (e.g. the mini portal that's supposed to be included in BI 7.0).
How do I install this BI portal? How do I integrate this BI portal ith the Enterprise Portal?
I'd very much appreciate some clarifications on this issue!
Regards,
F C

The web dispatcher for your portal should do the load balancing... usually the scenario is the other way round - BEX tends to use the server irrespective of its load and Portal will hit the load balancer and hence lead to better performance ....

  • Error while accessing a BI iView from the federated portal to the BI portal

    Hi,
    We got an issue when we execute BI report from our federated SAP Portal.
    The user can navigate into the portal, but when he executes an BI iView, sometime he gets the following error message:
    "500 Internal Server Error
    blabla...
    Root Cause
    The initial exception that caused the request to fail was:
    BEx Web application "xxxxx" does not exist. The application was either ended by a timeout or an error occurred, which was entered into the trace log. See SAP Notes 937697 and 948490"
    He can then refresh the page and execute the report again, and it will works.
    Here is our lanscape :
    Federated Portal EP6 SP18
    BI Portal SP20
    Iview are created on the Federated Portal and consume BI web template.
    I don't think about a timeout issue, since sometime we got the selection screen and once we click on a button (after some seconds) we got the error.
    Any ideas ?

    Hello,
    Please could you remove the proxy setting and check whether it will give you same error or not.
    Even we have faced the similar similar issue and once we have removed the proxy setting and cross checked it , it worked fine and later we came to know that the problem is in network proxy setting application.Check with the net working team for the same.

  • BW Workbook as an iView in the Enterprise Portal

    I keeping getting a dialog box asking to select the appropriate program to open the workbook. When I select .xls it opens, and it shows the parameters I entered and not the workbook. The customer is on NW04 Stack 11.
    I followed ever step on help.sap.com site as listed below.
    BW workbooks are MS Excel workbooks with one or more embedded BW queries. You are able to display these workbooks in the Enterprise Portal as iViews.
    Features
    Workbooks are displayed in a separate MS Excel window. Opening workbooks within the Web browser window is not possible for technical reasons.
    BW workbooks require the BEx Analyzer, which requires a local installation of the SAP GUI for Windows with the BW front end.
    SAP recommends that you use BEx Web applications in the Enterprise Portal that run completely in the Web browser.
    You can use the function Export as Excel 2000 File from the BW Web application context menu as an alternative to using a local installation of the BW front end if you require Excel functions. See Context Menu Functions  and Exporting as a CSV File/Excel 2000 File.
    An iView with a workbook can be generated using the Portal Content Studio or Role Upload. For more information, see Generating Content from SAP BW for the Enterprise Portal.
    The iViews are of type SAP Transaction iView and have the code link com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.Transaction.
    The most important properties are System, Transaction (TCODE) and ApplicationParameter.
    ·The System property contains the alias on the BW system (see Creating BW Systems in the  Portal).
    ·The transaction code for every workbook is RRMXP.
    ·The value WBID= is in the ApplicationParameter property.
    You can determine the workbook ID with the BEx Analyzer:
    a. Open the desired workbook.
    b. In the BEx toolbar, choose ® OLAP Functions for Active Cells ® Properties. The Information tab page contains the Workbook ID (Server).
    Note that with BW workbooks as an iView, the AutoStart property contains the value True (process first screen) and the GuiType property contains the value WinGui.
    Anyone have a solution for this to work?
    Thanks,
    -Eli

    Dear Rasmesh,
    Please try to do this suggestion:
    3. How can I use SAP Application Integrator to access SAP transactions?
    There are two different ways to use the SAP Application Integrator transaction iView. In both cases please use a URL like 'irj://com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.Transaction' followed by your custom parameters like '?System=DEV&TCode=SE38&GuiType=WinGui &WinGui_Type=Shortcut&OkCode=SHOP'.
    The parameters are:
    System [mandatory]
    TCode [mandatory]
    GuiType (=WinGui / WebGui / JavaGui) [mandatory]
    WinGui_Type (=Shortcut ..if you want to launch the GUI in a new window)
    OkCode (The OkCode that you would like to be executed after the transcation is called by SAP GUI.)
    ApplicationParameter (Pass these values to your screen fields which needs to be be separated by
    AutoStart (true / false)
    UseSPO1 (true / false)
    For a complete list of parameters please consult http://help.sap.com.

    Hi,
    All the requirements is  to build of the header bar (branding bar) in  the Enterprise Portal.
    Currently when I click in left nav  , the SAP EP Links open up in new window.
    These pages do not have any Company  Branding header on the top.
    I am required to put Branding header  on these EP Pages and call them on to MOSS UI.
    Plz refer the solution to me.
    Thanks,

    Dear Sanjay ,
    Please clarify the below points so that we can understand exactly what issue you are facing .
    1. " requirements is to build of the header bar (branding bar)"  --- Are you referring to the portal  MastHead ?
    (typically mastheadincludes -- welcome "name of user who logs in " , Branding Image - horizontal image bar, help , log off n personalize button"
    2. "when I click in left nav , the SAP EP Links open up in new window. "
    In the left Navigation what are you clicking , what exactly is opening in a new window .

  • How to bind an IIS to the enterprise portal installed on a linux machine

    Dear all,
    I am very new to the topic of Enterprise Portal.
    Our intention is, to develop .NET IViews and deploy them in the Enterprise Portal.
    The Enterprise Portal Server is set up on a linux machine.
    The Guy who did install the Portal Server, has no idea how to "integrate" the Microsoft IIS to the Portal.
    After deploying my .net Component, i tried to view this component in the portal (by right clicking the mouse on the Component in in the .NET Solutions Explorer).
    This gives me the following error:
    Portal Runtime Error
    An exception occured while processing a request for:
    iView:N/A
    Component Name: N/A
    Could not find portal application com.sap.portal.dotnet.framework.
    Exception id: 02:06.......
    See the details for the exception ID in the log file
    I think that this has something in common with integrating the IIS on the Linux Machine, and maybe additionaly installing the pdk.net on the IIS webserver machine which should be used.
    Thank you for your help.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Welcome to the world of Enterprise portal
    Seems to me like you are trying to use the PDK for .NET. If so - Please read the overview section in the documentation to get a general idea of how it works (for example - IIS is not used at all!).
    See the Visual Studio integrated help or click this https://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/dotnet/index.htm
    there go to "Getting Started" and mostly "Overview".
    Anyway, It seems like the problem is that you didn't deploy the 2 required SDA's to the portal. You should also take a look at the "installation and configuration" guide. Download it here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/dotnet.sdn?contenttype=url&content=/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/pdk for .net administrator guides.zip

  • SSO for various applications within the same portal

    Is it possible to implement SSO at the application level in an EP 7.0 environment?
    Ex:  One Portal with ESS and BI Functionality (BI is connected to the BI backend, ESS is connected to the ECC backend, but all of it exists within the same portal instance) in which the BI Explorer would rely on SSO, while the ESS would require a logon to the portal.  The initial page of the portal would not be a logon screen, but rather a menu screen
    Does this functionality exist?

    For our purposes, ESS would have to be authenticated (perferably through Active Directory), while BI Explorer wouldn't require "visible" authentication, BUT the question would be, could all of this exist on the same portal..
    I agree that it certainly wouldn't be user friendly to ask users to logon (using AD l/p) for certain parts but not others.  I think the solution would simply to have 2 portal instances (ESS/ECC = Logon/Password,  BI Portal = SSO), and to federate the BI to the ECC Portal. That way, if someone wanted to work in BI and only BI, they could go without logging on, but if they wanted to go to the ESS Portal they would have to logon BUT would be able to use both ESS and BI.
    This all stems from an effort to eliminate the neccessity of having to logon to a portal (for a small group of managers), but still maintaining a level of security for ALL users in regards to employee self-service

  • Multiple layouts for the same user in the same portal

    Hello.
    I have a challenge.
    Currently there is a portal (6.40) running as a frontend for an application. So the portal is used for only this purpose. The content is a changed masthead and a number of WebDynpros and UWL's all accessing the same backend.
    Now there is a wish to use the same portal to execute a transaction iView for the same backend. Simple. BUT when a user uses the portal for the product he/she shall not see the transaction iView and also when the user sees the transaction iView, the WDs and UWL's should not be shown in the navigation. And also the masthead should be different on the two views.
    Putting in another portal is not anoption, this should be done on the same portal. The way I expect it to work is by accessing the same portal og two different URL's.
    Companies cannot be used since some of the users should be able to access poth views.
    I know that in a prefect world it would simply be a matter of creating two different roles and assign them as needed and if the user has both roles hen they would both be available in the navigation. But to the user the portal should look like different portals.
    Any suggestions on how to achieve this functionality?
    Br,
    Thomas Mouritsen

    Hi Thomas,
    you have several options with the portal standard:
    1.) If the user only has one role assigned at a time you can attach the portal layout to the roles. So depending on the role the user has he sees the respective layout - BUT: how to asign the two roles to the user!? This can only be done by admins and I assume that it is no intended to call the admins every time the user needs the other role?
    2.) The entry to the portal is realized with different urls like http://yourportal.com/VIEW1 and http://yourportal.com/VIEW2.
    VIEW1 and VIEW2 are so called portal aliases and you can attach the different layouts to those aliases.
    BUT: the two roles have nothing to do with the aliases so you still have the problem of role assignment.
    3.) Each person gets two users with each user assigned to one role and one layout assigned to the user or group or role...
    Anyhow: I would ask the people who brought up the idea of two different layouts - WHY?? A portal is ONE single point of entry for EVERY application and information a user needs. So why two different layouts? And what, if five others are coming each bringing their own layouts, too?
    4.) If you really want to have different layouts each time a different top-level navigation point is active you have to program your own portal component. That would fit your needs but is besides standard.

  • Multiple applications running on the same portal server

    Environment : EP 7.0 SPS12
    We have multiple portal applications running on the same portal with different login page for each application. On one of our employee portal, we want to put a login page link for another portal application running on the same portal which requires a different user ID and password to access that application.
    The problem we are encountering is, the login page link we put in our employee portal is bypassing the login page for the other application and using the same session as the employee portal. What can I do to make sure application login page show up when accessing the link from employee portal?
    Your help is really appreciated.
    Thanks
    Bhabesh Patel

    Hi,
    thanks for the clarification. I think I do understand now and the only thing I can think of is to delete the session cookie.
    The problem with that is that you would not be able to use "simple" links (e.g. you could not just call the URL of the other application, but you would have to create some application (a simply JSP would probably be fine) that deletes the cookie and redirects you to the new application.
    An other option would be to create DNS aliases that so that the session cookie is not sent (but depending on your setup this might have other drawbacks). Since the cookies are not valid for the other domains you would always start with a new login when you access a new application (e.g. the employee portal has the url portal.employee.company.com and the customer portal has portal.cutomer.company.com. Then (if the settings for ume.logon.security.relax_domain.level,see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/5e/473d4124b08739e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm is correct)
    Hope this helps,

  • How do I create multiple catalogs in the same portal?

    Hello,
    I have 2 stores in different locations and they each have their own catalogs (similar
    products) and inventory, but I want the user to be able to select the store in
    which he wants to buy. Ex - It could be New York store or New Jersey store.
    How can I create 2 or more catalogs and access them in the same Portal? What is
    the differentiator?

    Answer appreciated.

    Shashi,
    You need to read about configuring the Catalog services:

    These docs have not yet been moved into the 7.0 doc set but also apply to

  • How to delete the orphaned Expected Rule Entries exist in the FIM portal

    Hi,
    How to delete the orphaned Expected Rule Entries exist in the FIM portal.
    A large number of orphaned Expected Rule Entries exist in the FIM portal (originally 140000k+ objects, currently 75000+ objects). They consume the a lot of FIM database space and slows down the identity lifecycle management synchronization processes.
    Regards
    Anil Kumar

    Hello,
    in my environments i use this approach:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1af6cf77-4c55-4a3e-93cc-0baae80bc88f/expiration-workflow-cannot-delete-ere?forum=ilm2
    This sets up a compination of Sets, Workflow and MPR to let the "Expiration Workflow" delete EREs as soon as they get orphaned.
    This works fine since 3 years now, even if there are comming SQL-Jobs within a FIM update, but I implemented this before this was done.
    I would suggest to clear the current orphaned EREs with PowerShell to avoid request flooding when implementing the above solution. Then implement that housecleening above.

  • What is new in the upcoming portal 6.2

    Hi
    What is new in the upcoming portal 6.2 ?
    Will the new JSR168 portlet standard be supported ?
    If so... what else that is new ?
    Thanks
    Per-Olov

    Here is what we found so far (6.2 beta)
    - New Mobil Access Pack (Version 6.2) --- oh yea! now your portlets have to be WML compatibel!
    - JSR 168 Support --- and run on any portals anywhere!
    - New Directory Server (Version 5.2) --- lets see if we can handle this one!
    I guess the rest will be given at Sun Network Conference
    in Moscone Center...
    Cheers,
    Alex :-)

  • Refreshing a single portlet rather than the whole portal page

    Ok, here's my situation.
    I have two pdk portlets on my portal that communicate through page parameters. Portlet A has a bunch of search fields, a customer drop-down list, parts drop-down list, division, etc. Portlet B takes those parameters, queries the database, and displays the results. I would like to be able to refresh portlet B without reloading the whole portal page.
    I have onchange events on all of my drop-downs that will do a javascript post back to portal, which will in turn set my page parameters, and I see there is a 'refreshPortlet' function in a javascript file that portal provides that will refresh a single portlet based on a portletReferenceId. It is normally called when a refresh button is clicked in the portlet header, but I don't see any reason I can't call it after my javascript post, that is, if I had the portletReferenceId for the other portlet. I thought about making a hidden html table on the page that, I could fill with the portlet names and ids for each portlet as they load, that way I could reference that list from any portlet. The problem is I can't figure out where the ids are coming from. Based on the code behind the button, the function is looking for something like this 646_701285_646_1_701271, but the closest thing I can come up with is this 676114_POSTCONTENTPORTLET_467414915 which I got from PortletRenderRequest.getPortletInstance().getInstanceName(). As you can see, it's not even close. Does anyone know where the correct id could be coming from? It's got to be available to me somewhere, doesn't it?
    The only other option I can think of to accomplish my goal is to use straight up ajax to display portlet B, but that kind of defeats the purpose of portal doesn't it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    You can use Ctrl+F4 to close the current tab. I don't think that you can change the Alt+F4 action with Keyconfig.

    Before deploying the app, you could check database table PF_PORTLET_DEFINITION for any entries there which might conflict with yours.

  • Windows Applications in the Enterprise Portal

    Hi all,
    we have EP 6.0 SP10 based on NW04 installed.
    Is there any possibility to integrate Windows Apllications
    (Windows 'exe' files) in the Enterprise Portal.
    Best regards

    With LaunchInIE you use JavaScript to launch the actual applications. What we do is write a Java iView that contains links (we use icons) to programs installed locally on each machine. When the user clicks a link (icon) we run the JavaScript that opens the locally installed 'exe' file.
    If you have a look at the WhirlyWiryWeb link posted earlier you can see how to use LaunchInIE.
    The downside to this is that the .dll has to be installed on each machine and the registry (for each machine) has to be maintained.
    You can just write a java iView that has links to locally installed exe's (file://C:/myfolder/myexe.exe) if you like but that will result in a security warning each time. LaunchInIE stops the security warning.

  • Use HCM processes and Forms without using the Enterprise Portal

    is it possible to leverage existing HR Admin Services (HCM processes and Forms) functionality without using the Enterprise Portal?
    1) Create an Adobe form and Interface using SFP
    2) Set up ISR and Form Scenario
    3) Set up Forms configuration to use existing Backend and generic Services
    4) Set up workflow to updated Backend using Services
    is it possible to do the above steps and not use the Portal? If Yes, how do we present the forms to the Manager, and provide different buttons that appears on the Portal by default?
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Saurabh

    Hi Saurabh,
    your assumptions and findings (items can not be started from the backend workflow inbox etc.) are correct: These processes can not be started without the Portal and it is not intended to do this.
    The above mentioned backend report are only forseen for implementation and testing purposes and not for productive use.
    In addition to the fact, that you already can't execute the work items a lot of other features of the framework (Process Browser etc.) are only available through the Portal.

    Copying the contents of iMovie Events and iMovie Projects to another machine doesn't make them available -- at best, you get their title with no content. Has anyone figured out how to do this?
