Users table in Portal database

Hello experts,
We need to store some additional information in addition to userID and password for each portal user (to additional attributes).
If we use the standar users table of the Portal DB, is it possible to alter this table, include these two new fields without any problem?
which is the name of this table storing portal users?
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You certainly don't want to be changing SAP supplied Java tables!
There is a documented mechanims which I point to in the <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/HOME/Portaluseradministration+basics">user information basics wiki page</a>. I suggest you try there...

Retriving user details from user rofile in portal database

HI all,
any one knows how to retrive user details from user rpofile in portal database. I am using webdynpro appliction.Please reply.
Thank you
Maruthi

Hi maruti Rao ,
All Gives U gud Idea..here i give u some brief procedure.First of all u need to add 2 jar file in ur project structure for proper working of "com.sap.security.api.IUser" Interface. After that for retriving Users data Stored on LDAP Server.
If you are using an LDAP directory as a data source for your user-related data, the logical attribute names used by the Java application programming interface (API) of SAP User Management Engine (UME) must be mapped to the physical attribute names used in the schema of your corporate LDAP directory.
Example Data-Source File is as Below From Where U can Get All The Information of Logged user...
<dataSources>
<dataSource id="CORP_LDAP"

Clean out user table in LiveCycle Database

I need to clear out the users from the the EDCPrincipalUserEntity database. Are there any scripts that can do this since the guids are tied to other tables?

I checked with our User Manager guys. Unfortuntely, this is not possible without messing up things.

How to write select query for all the user tables in database

Can any one tell me how to select the columns from all the user tables in a database
Here I had 3columns as input...
1.phone no
2.memberid
3.sub no.
I have to select call time,record,agn from all the tables in a database...all database tables have the same column names but some may have additional columns..
Eg: select call time, record,agn from ah_t_table where phone no= 6186759765,memberid=j34563298
Query has to execute not only for this table but for all user tables in the database..all tables will start with ah_t
I am trying for this query since 30days...
Help me please....any kind of help is appreciated.....

Starting in Oracle 10, you can also use Q-notation:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17118/sql_elements003.htm#i42617
...and also can you tell me how to execute the output of this script. What front end are you using? If it's SQL*Plus, then you can SPOOL the query to a file, and then execute that file, like this:
-- Suppress SQL*Plus features that interfere with raw output
SET     FEEDBACK     OFF
SET     PAGESIZE     0
-- Run preliminary query to generate main query
SPOOL     c:\my_sql_dir\all_ah_t.sql
SELECT       'select call time, record, agn from '
||       owner
||       '.'
||       table_name
||       ' where phone_no = ''6186759765'' and memberid = j34563298'
||       CASE
           WHEN ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( ORDER BY owner          DESC
                          ,        table_name      DESC
                          ) = 1
           THEN ';'
           ELSE ' UNION ALL'
       END     AS txt
FROM       all_tables
WHERE       SUBSTR (table_name, 1, 4)     = 'AH_T'
ORDER BY owner
,       table_name
SPOOL     OFF
-- Restore SQL*Plus features that interfere with raw output (if desired)
SET     FEEDBACK     ON
SET     PAGESIZE     50
-- Run main query:
@c:\my_sql_dir\all_ah_t.sql
so that i form a temporary view for this script as a table(or store the result in a temp table) and my problem will be solved..Sorry, I don't understand. What is a "temporary view"?

Creating Custom Tables in the Portal Database

Is there a way to create custom tables in the portal database in EP6?
Thanks,
Melissa

Thanks for responding, Nick.
We want to be able to display informational messages on the logon page before the user logs in. Currently we make changes to several ASP files in EP5 to display the messages. We want to be able to give privileged users the ability to enter the message, enter start/end date, etc. We want to do this in EP6 as well.

No data in Portal Database tables for Activity Report

Hi experts,
I've developed an Activity Report application in SAP Portal 7.0, which went live but the report shows no data.
We are pulling data from 2 portal database tables: WCR_WEBCONTENTSTAT and WCR_USERPAGEUSAGE
In non production environment there is data in the report but there is no data in the production environment.
The Activity Report service is already activated/started and set to true.
What could have caused this? And what should we check now?
What other configurations/setup should be done?
Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg,
Those are the aggregated tables. If they are not filled with data although the Portal Activity Report is activated, you should check whether the aggregation finished successfully.
In the older SPs there were some problems that were fixed in later SPs of 7.0.
In order to have the latest version of Portal Activity report, you can check SAP note 1084379 - Portal Activity Report - Latest Version (SDA file).
You can compare the SP via the MANIFAST file, as it contains the version and SP number.
In order to troubleshoot problems in Activity Report, you can follow SAP note: 1690023 - Portal Activity Report - Component-specific Note
Some basic checks that you can do:
Run query on the raw data tables to check since when there is data in those tables:
select min(timestamphour) from SAP<SystemID>DB.WCR_WEBCNODESTAT;
If there is too much data from long time ago, then you should delete the old data, and leave only the new data (there is anyways retention time for the data to be kept).
If there is no data, then it means that the Portal Activity Report does not collect data, and not really activated (usually this is not the case).
The aggregation runs every top of the hour, so you can check in the default traces for an error during that time.
In most of the cases something went wrong while aggregating the data.
As a result the aggregation is not finished, so the transaction is not being committed, and the aggregated tables stay empty.
If there is a DuplicateKeyException in the trace, you can follow SAP note 1054145 - Duplicate Key Exception.
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
I hope this information helps,
Thanks & regards,

Using one user account table across multiple databases but account used as a foreign key

I want to use one user account table from one database and use it across a couple other databases. The problem is that I want some tables to use the primary key from the user account table as a foreign key to access the data when the user logs in. Is this
the right way of going about it? Do I have to create a user account table in all my databases? What is the best practice to handle this problem? Thanks in advance.

You can use Triggers or using replication.

Authorization scheme for users stored in a database table?

Hello!
I'm trying to find out how to make an authorization scheme for database users.
I first made an authentication scheme for my current application, I named it "Authentication for database accounts", and the scheme type is "Database Accounts".
A word of explanation:_
I have a table in my database, named "USERS". Inside this table, I have the following columns:
- USERID (NUMBER)
- USERNAME (VARCHAR2(50))
- PASSWORD (VARCHAR2(50))
- EMAIL (VARCHAR2(200))
For this question, I'll take an example user. The username is USER and the password is USER. Email and UserID don't matter here, but let's just say the UserID is 1.
What I want:_
When you go to the application, and you are requested to log in (page 101), then I want a user to be able to log in with the data that has been stored in the USERS table.
So, on the login page, the user will enter USER as username, and USER as password. The authorization scheme then needs to check whether or not this username and password match the data in the USERS table. If it does, then it must sign the user in with the credentials the user entered (those being USER and USER).
I also want the UserID to be stored somewhere in the application (if possible, in an application item).
How do I do this? I've never made an authorization scheme before... I'm not too good with PL/SQL either, but I'm working on that part.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to find out how to make an authorization scheme for database users. I think there may be some confusion here. An authorization scheme gives the user access to different parts of an Apex Application. Database users are the users that you use to login to the database, for example with sqlplus.
From the rest of your post it sounds like you need a custom authentication scheme to validate users against a custom table. For this you need to create a custom authentication scheme and select use my custom function to authenticate. Exactly how you set up the authentication scheme depends on the version of Apex you are using. But an example of validate user function you could use is given below:
function validate_login (
p_username in varchar2
, p_password in varchar2) return boolean
is
v_result varchar2(1);
begin
select null into v_result
from USERS
where userid = p_username
and password = p_password;
return true;
when no_data_found then return false;
end validate_login;Once the user has successfully logged on the userid will be in the APP_USER apex substitution string.
And for Application Express Account Credentials, does this mean an admin must make each new user by hand?If you using Apex account credentials the user details are stored within the Apex tables. You can create users using the Apex admin application or by using the APEX_UTIL.create_user api.

Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
Go to tahiti.oracle.com.
Drill down to your product and version.
BOOKMARK THIS LOCATION
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
- Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.

SQL Server 2000 auditing on DML changes on user tables to user databases

Please let me know if you know if there is any procedure or steps to determine DML changes on user tables in database.

Hello,
You can use triggers as shown in the following article:
http://sqlserver2000.databases.aspfaq.com/how-do-i-audit-changes-to-sql-server-data.html
You may also consider third party tools that may still support SQL Server 2000. The following tool supported SQL Server 2000 a few years
ago, not sure about today:
http://www.apexsql.com/sql_tools_comply.aspx
Server side traces may be another option:

User Access to all tables of a database

Hi,
Is it possible to create a user that has access to all tables in a particular database? I know I can grant permissions on individual tables, but I would like to create a user that can add, delete, and insert data into any table in the database. This is easy in MSSQL, but not so easy with MaxDB
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Diana Hoppe

It's not so easy, because it's a nonsense requirement!
While it may be convenient to be able to just access data and db-objects during development, this becomes a nightmare on production.
It's far easier and usually better to create schemas to put the database objects in and roles that have the required permissions.
Then you can grant the roles to the users that need them.
This way you've cleanly separated the naming (schemas) from the permission (roles/users/grants) aspect.
A common approach for this is:
- SYSDBA user (e.g. SUPERDBA) owns the application schemas and can create/alter the objects in it
- SYDBA also owns the roles and users.
One step more secure would be to have a specific user own the application schemas - just like it is the case for NetWeaver databases.
With this, you can have your DBAs have their superuser access to the database and still not the super-easy option to look at the data.

Lars

Give user Read-Only access to one table in a database.

Does anyone know how to give a user account Read-only access to 1 table within a SQL Server Database using SQL Server Management Studio? I don't want the account to be able to access any other tables in the database, just the one table. I'm not a sql programmer,
so if there is a way to do it in Sql Server Managment Studio settings that would be the best.

Using Management Studio, I assume you already have a login and user for that person. If not,
How to: Create a SQL Server Login http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337562.aspx
How to: Create a Database User
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337545.aspx
1. Then, in Object Explorer, expand the Database, expand
Tables, right-click the table you want, and then click
Properties.
2. On the Permissions page, under Users or Roles, click
Search, then Browse, etc, until you find the user. Click
OK until you are back to the Permissions page.
3. In the Permission for <user>section, find the
SELECT (that's the read permission) and click the Grant
box. Then click OK.

User tables belonging to the dbo schema were found in the database...

Hi
I´m running SAP on windows server 2003 R2 x64 sql 2005.
I have installed a sandbox system based on NW 7.01 SR1 ECC 6.0. It´s only abap.
After that I wanted to make a system copy of our production system to the the sandbox. So my sql colleague took a full backup of the production database and restored it into the sandbox.
Now I´m trying to run the system copy installation sapinst - SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 Ready (Support Release 1) - Sotware life Cycle Options - System Copy - MS SQL Server - Target System Installation - Central System - Based on AS ABAP - Central System...
I choose custom and say it´s a Homogeneus System Copy (MS SQL Servver-specific)
After that I choose "Use existing database" but the it say:
*User tables belonging to the dbo schema were found in the database ES0. SOLUTION: You can only install an SAP system in a database with no user objects belonging to the system schema dbo. If there already is an SAP system in the database (MCOD), or you install a Java Add-In, you might have to convert the existing system to its own schema, or contact your SAP support.*
I have searched the forums and can´t find anything I can use. I found someone wrote that I should change the control.xml file under sapinst directory:
Proceed as follows:
1. Stop SAPinst.
2. Open the file control.xml in the sapinst log directory and look for the following lines:
AllowNew: mig ? ?false? : ?true?,
AllowDboObjects: mig ? ?true? : ?false?,
3. Change these lines to
AllowNew: ins ? ?true? : ?false?,
AllowDboObjects: ins ? ?false? : ?true?,
4. Save the control.xml, restart SAPinst and choose ?Continue old installation?.
but it is not helping.
Please advise me.
If this is the wrong forum please tell which one is correct.
Best regards

Hw to find the tables in the Portal Database

Hello,
I'm new to this Portals. I would like to know where the database tables stored in Portal Database. We are using the Oracle as the database. Can you please tell me where can I view the database tables.
thnx in advance
cheers
murali

Hi Murali,
they are stored in a database which has the same name as your instance, for example J2E. KMC tables (most of them - if not all - starting with "KMC_") are stored within the same database as the portal tables are (this wasn't the case for EP5 and EP6 SP2 on 6.20).
Anyhow, you shouldn't touch or trying to access these tables directly. Two reasons for this: (a) there are APIs for (almost) everything which can be accessed from the DB tables, even if sometimes not documented. Anyhow, the DB schema isn't documented, too, so you should choose the "upper layer"; (b) the DB schema is subject to change without notice (and this is also done regulary); whereas the released (=documented) APIs are stable and the non-released are at least quite stable, too.
Hope it helps
