VIEWER vs SAP PORTAL

Hi guys,
I'm using the SAP portal to acces a report in BOE XI R2. We are using a URL to go to BOE XI from the SAP PORTAL. When the parameter appears I,m geating a very ugly screen (I think it's HTML_FRAME viewer). There is the URL
https://>server>/businessobjects/enterprise115/sap/infoview/report/report_view.aspx?bw_id=<reportid>&sap_sysid=IW5&sap_client=010&language=fr&viewer=html_frame&viewtype=on_demand&cmsname=<XXXX>
When I change the viewer to ACTIVEX ro DHTML I still get th ugly screen ! Is there a way to change that ?
Excuse for my poor english ! I'm french !

Hi Eric,
when you talk about the parameter what are you referring to ? the enry page for the parameter values asking you to provide the values ?

Iviews not working in SAP Portal in DHTML viewer

Hi
We are using BOXI 3.0 with SAP Integration Kit with SAP R/3 and SAP Portal.We are implementing Single Sign On from SAP Portal to BOXI 3.0 and have created few iviews in SAP Portal pointing to the reports in BOXI 3.0.
The Single Sign On works fine when the viewer in the Iview is selected as Java or Activex Viewer but goes in the logon loop when the viewer is selected as html_frame(i.e dhtml viewer).Have followed the installation and user guides very closely as well.Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Kamal

Hi Ji
Thanks for your reply.Yes we are using the master iview templates provided in the XI R3 media.
There are few things noticed in this case which I would like to point out:
1)Our environment is a distributed environment where Server 1 is the BO Server and Server 2 is the Web Server.
2)When we are trying to the run the sample iviews(Alert and Thumbnail) we are getting the error as below:
"Error: Server not found or server maybe down (FWM 01003) null"
Point to note here is that this error is reproduced when the CMS System is selected/entered wrongly but how come the message is showing Server02 which is the webserver instead of Server01.
3)When we trying to run Iview template it is redirected to login loop where the SAP Authentication is not seen.

SSO to J2EE application from SAP Portal

Hi
I am trying to do SSO from SAP Portal to a J2EE engine which runs on SAP Web AS.
Here are my queries
1. When I deploy a J2EE application on Web AS , I dont get any login screen. How can I make sure that if a user wants to access this J2EE application he should get a login screen and provide his login credentials first, only then would he be able to access the J2EE application.
2.When I am done with Part 1. If a user tries to access this J2EE application from the Portal (asuming the user Id's in Portal and J2EE application are same and both are in the same domain) , I should not get any login screen and should be able to view the J2EE application.
3.I want to use SAP Logon tickets generated by the Portal to enable SSO.
I have done all the necessary configurations in the J2EE server.
1. Imported the Portal's verify.der certificate.
2. Adjusted the login modules stack for the application accordingly.
Can anyone please help me out with this or throw some light.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Vivek
PS - Points will be definitely rewarded

Hi Vivek,
Let me give you the solution for both questions differently.
<b>Ques 1. When I deploy a J2EE application on Web AS , I dont get any login screen. How can I make sure that if a user wants to access this J2EE application he should get a login screen and provide his login credentials first, only then would he be able to access the J2EE application.</b>
<b>Ans:</b> For doing this in the code of your J2EE application you have to write a if statement which will check if the user ID is coming from the backend or not. If yes then you display that logon page else you just pass that username which is coming from backend and displ;ay the page accordingly.
<b>Ques 2.When I am done with Part 1. If a user tries to access this J2EE application from the Portal (asuming the user Id's in Portal and J2EE application are same and both are in the same domain) , I should not get any login screen and should be able to view the J2EE application.</b>
<b>Ans:</b> Yes, this is what I am explaining you. Even I had also made same kind of J2EE application in which if the user is coming from the backend then he/she will look the J2EE screen else if the username is not coming then he will se the Login screen. Exactly same as what are looking for.
<b>3.I want to use SAP Logon tickets generated by the Portal to enable SSO.</b>
<b>Ans:</b> I have used User Mapping instead of SAP Logon ticket. Well that is also the option for SSO but personally I think User Mapping is easy and better way for implementing SSO.
I dont know whether this will help you or not. Please let me know. I can definately help if you want to implement SSO using User Maping.

Multiple versions of the same Web Dynpro application on the same SAP Portal

I have a single application (local development) and deploy directly to a SAP Portal(NW 7.0) from NWDS Version: 7.0.15
No problems there, works like a charm.
But I want to have multiple versions of the same application on one portal. Eg. ill build a version 1.0 for test and deploy this. Then continue to work on version 1.1 deploying this directly on the portal. The two versions should now co-existing under different names and/or packages.
Please help.

Hi Kim,
May be you can try this and see if this works for you. I am not 100% sure if it will work for you, but worth a try I guess. Create a Test WebDynpro project and try the following steps on this project. If they work out correctly and serve the purpose for you only then try them on your actual Web Dynpro project.
1. Create a test Web Dynpro project say "TestWDProject" with Component say "Comp1" and the default views and windows etc.
Also create some working application our of this component and Windows using the Context.
2. Right click the "Comp1" and select Copy.
3. Right click 'Components" node in the project structure and select "Paste"
4.This step will try to paste the copy of Comp1 as a new Component.
5. You can change the Name and Package of the Component.
6.Similarly you'll get the prompts for views,windows etc.
7.Once you have copied everything, Just check if everything looks good.
8.Now you can create a new Application using this new component and the Component Interface View and Deploy it.
9.Test whether the Application created out of this copy works same as the original component.
You can also try to create another Web Dynpro project and paste the Comp1 in the Components node of that new project and perform the same steps.
Again, try with these Test Projects and see if this serves your purpose before applying the steps on actual projects.

Ajay

SAP PORTAL Time-Out Settings / BO iView Reports..?

We have created BO object-specific iView requests in SAP PORTAL based on Ingo's posting....
SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise & SAP Enterprise Portal - Part 3 of 4
Currently, just posting some small CR4E and Analysis for Office (*Design Studio will be added in a few months) report objects that are based on BW queries - and response time is a few seconds.
However, long-term as our BW grows - and the volume of data/periods expands we may see some reduction in the performance of these reports, and they make take a few-minutes to return data.
The SAP Portal team already have an issue with an ECC / T-Code report (*no Business Objects involved) which runs over 100 seconds - and hits a Portal time-out....and are wondering if we would hit the same issue if a CR4E within the Portal ran longer than 100 seconds...?
I think the answer is "NO", the Portal time-out would not apply in that scenario. My assumption is that in our solution-path, the Portal's 100 second time-out rule would ONLY apply to the process of the Portal invoking the iView request - and opening the frame for the CR4E content.
Once the frame is open - and the RPT / Prompt-Screen is loaded the Portal time-out is "happy".
After that iView -> BO frame is established....so, even if the CR4E & BW Query took more than 100 Seconds to return/display the data - the SAP Portal would not time-out - as all of that activity is actually taking place at the BOE Platform layer within the frame (and using the time-out settings at the BOE level).
Can anyone confirm that my assumptions are correct, or explain where the assumption is wrong..?
Thanks in advance...!

In our scenario, the SAP PORTAL has a 100 second time-out, but the Business Objects platform where the CR4E content is hosted has a 600 second time-out for "View on Demand" reporting.
When the SAP PORTAL opens the iView connection, it is opening the CR4E content in a frame on the Portal. Prompts are entered - and the RPT execution begins on the BOE platform.
There is a "spinning-wheel" displayed from the BOE platform, and if run in BO LaunchPad it could run for up to 600 seconds before a time-out occured.
When it is presented in SAP PORTAL via iView connection - does that "spinning-wheel" from BOE Platform provide enough of a "heartbeat" to let the PORTAL know not to drop the connection at 100 seconds....?
My reasoning is that SAP PORTAL should be opening the BOE content with the same rules that apply when the report is opening in the BO LaunchPad.
We are going to create a "SLOW" report in CR4E (*Lots of charts & sub-reports) to test/compare LaunchPad and Portal display of the same report.

Timeout error in accessing CR 2008 with dynamic prompts from SAP Portal

SAP Portal Integration - The plugin secSAPR3 does not exist (FWM 02016)

Hi Gurus,
I have some problems with the integration of SAP Portal.
I have created an iview in the SAP Portal with a Webi Report.
When executed, displays the login page of InfoView without any authentication option, only request user an password. When I insert my credentials, appears the following error:
Account Information Not Recognized: The plugin secSAPR3 does not exist (FWM 02016) and I cannot login.
Previous to this error message, appears an alert from the Session Management, advising me that the application will launch in other domain. I donu2019t know what problems can lead this fact.
I have configurated the SAP Authentication in CMC and imported roles and users from BW. I can use the same user and password in both environments and works fine.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!
Isaac.

Hi IRoyan,
First let's explain why the plugin secSAPR3 doesn't exist:
1> when you view report from SAP EP to the report in BOE, it would use OpenDocument view application to logon and open the report.
2> and the secSAPR3 plugin is the file of secSAPR3.jar;
3> So it means the secSAPR3.jar is not in the classpath of OpenDocument application.
How to resolve it:
1> In the existing BOBJ solution, the secSAPR3.jar is included in PartnerPlatformServices;
2> So please try to modify the web.xml under the directory $INSTALLDIR$:\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\OpenDocument\WEB-INF, add the logon service URLcontext:
    <context-param>
        <param-name>config.logon.service.context</param-name>
        <param-value>/PartnerPlatformService</param-value>
    </context-param>
    <context-param>
        <param-name>config.logon.service.url</param-name>
        <param-value>/service/app/logon.do</param-value>
    </context-param>
Hope you can understand it and it helps.

Suresh

Hi Ingo,
Please check the below details which i configured.
First step : transporting "par" files and epa files into portal.
imported   "com.businessobjects.pct.sap_pik.epa" file in portal
         deployed "com.businessobjects.pct.masteriview.par" in portal
         deployed "BusinessObjectsKM.par" in portal
Second step Created System Object and its parameters:
Host name of Crystal Enterprise Server : almboxi31.ho.almarai.com:8080
        Path of Crystal Enterprise Server           : /SAP
        Protocal of Crystol Enterprise Server     : http

Changing default printer settings in SAP Portal

Hi,
When i am trying to print the report in SAP Portal, the default page setting is A3 , i need to change it to 8.5 * 11 inches.
Is it possible??
Thanks
Janc

Hi,
You can change the Page Settings in your Internet Explorer.
File --> Page Setup.
Try doing this.
Are you on BI 3.5 or 7.0?
Also, you are using the Query Designer or WAD ?
In WAD7.0 you can Export the Template with the Query and set the size as A4 or 8.5 x 11 inches.
While viewing the Query designer output also, you select the size. Default is A4.

Alternatives to WAD for displaying BI Queries / Views in Enterprise Portal

Hello experts,
we have been using WAD 3.5 extensively for displaying BI Querys in a web-capable form within our Enterprise Portal.
Since our users are not BW-familiar in general, we have the requirement to provide a very easy GUI and navigation.
Actually in 3.5 we are able to fulfill this requirement by extensive use of Javascript to modify the look & feel and also the behaviour of the Web applications.
In WAD 7.0 this is not any longer possible, as SAP restricted the Javascript usage, in 7.0 it is impossible to change the HTML code by accessing the DOM, which is very uncomfortable for us, since our users are familiar with the our (javascript-driven)convenient BI Web interfaces.
My question now: are there any alternatives for displaying BI content (queries / views) in the portal apart from using WAD web templates?
I read that the Visual Composer is now capable of processing BI content. Does anyone have experiences with this? And if yes, how does this compare to the WAD?
I also read that there is a BI Java SDK which contains an API to the OLAP processor. Is the BI Java SDK an alternative to WAD? And if yes, is it possible to integrate Java SDK with Web Dynpro or is it plain Java requiring the usage of Servlets / JSP to render the UI?
Thanks in advance for your help,
best regards,
Thilo

BI SDK is a Java library without UI support. Think adout it as a JDBC-type API with multidimentional data support. It's the way to go if you need to get to the data itself but it is not appropriate if you want low-effort reporting solution.
