Vignette portal integration - java

Hi,
Has anyone worked with vignette portal apis.I am trying to create users in vignette portal from outside the portal environment.
I have a java application.This application is used for creating corporate accounts for employees.As well , i am trying to create vignette portal user accounts from this external application.
I tried to explore the following
1.I was happy when I found apis that come with vignette portal, but those apis only work when you
are with in the portal context.In my case an I am in a java application which is in a different server
but I do have all the connection information and all information etc to connect to portal as administrator.
2.I enabled the SQL profiler or the portal database and was able to find what queries are run when a user is created on the portal , tried run those queries from this external application , connecting directly to database.
But in this I still feel I am not doing all the necessary operations.
Any suggestions or help is appreciated.
Thanks,
pandu

Portal Integration with JAVA ?

Hello All,
I've been working in the Portal for the past 1 Year.
The work which I've done is :
1. Creation of BSP's in SAP
2. Create iViews in Portal accessing these BSP Applications.( BSP , IAC, URL,BW etc )
3. Create Roles.
Now I'm moved to one more Project which does the Portal Integration with JAVA.
Can any one tell me what is it and how it can be done ?
Regards,
Deepu.K

2004s BI Portal (BI-Java) and BI-ABAP: doublestack vs. separated stack

Hi specialists,
We plan to migrate our NW2004 System (no Portal in use) to NW7.0.
For the NW7.0 Portal Architecture we are not sure what to choose:
- BI-ABAP and BI Portal (BI-Java) on the same instance (doublestack)
- BI-ABAP and BI Portal (BI-Java) on seperate instances (separated stack architecture)
Medium term we assume, that the portal is used for Web-Reporting and integrated planning. The development of applications (Java, Visual Composer) will be the exception.
But if our reporting requirements changes and the number of own applications is increasing?
Which is the best possibility to be future-proof?
- Is it possible to separate the doublestack architecture later?
- Is it possible to "transport" Portal stuff/applications from a doublestack system to a separated stack system?
- If the number of Portal-applications is increasing, is it an opportunity to set up an additional BI-Portal which is connected to the doublestack BI system?
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Karin.

Hi
Too many questions .But its interesting.Ok lets take one by one.
You can have either of the options depending on the amount of data and your hardware.
I would suggest if you have the hardware go for seperate machines for each kind of installation.I mean have a BI system((dual Stack) + Portal or you can have portal on a seperate machine also.Then you can have another portal (single stack).And using the FPN(Federated Portal Network) concept you can actually implement ur scenrio.
Note :BI-Java cannot be installed seperately you need a portal for it.
Yes FPN can be used to transport the data from one portal to another.To the last questioin i have already answered ,its better to go for a seperate BI system.
Any other doubts feel free to ask:

BSP Exception: Access to URL /irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.ip.bi.web.portal.integration.launcher;jsessionid= not allowed

Dear all,
I've created out BI system in our new Portal installation and tested the connection. Everything works fine. I added the certificate of the portal to STRUSTSSO2 in BI ABAP and assigned SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW to my Account.in BI. If I open the iView from the portal I get a BSP Exception with the message:
The used connection by the iView is to the ABAP-Stack of the BI-system not to the JAVA-Stack. Is that correct?

What can be the problem/reason?
Thanks!

Hi Gerrit
In both places you have to provide a authorization access to the end users then only it will work. because your are already said that in SAP_All & SAP_New working fine

Authentication issue with Xcelsius/Portal integration

I am facing an issue with the way we have integrated our Xcelsius dashboard with our corporate portal. I know this probably is more of a SDK question than Administration, but I figured I will ask it here anyway since Tim and some others are diverse enough in their knowledge base. This might be LONG post but please advise if anyone has any good pointers.
We have an Xcelsius dashboard that needs to be served up via our corporate intranet (based on MS Sharepoint 2007). Now we are NOT using the MS Sharepoint Portal Integration Kit, but just doing a basic integration of the SWF call within a web part on Sharepoint. All this means is that within a portlet (web-part) on Sharepoint, I am making a HTTP call to the openDocument URL to invoke the SWF file. So the SWF is actually served up from our Tomcat App Server, and displayed onto this frame within the portal. That is the basic idea.
To achieve this, what I did was write some custom code using the Java SDK to modify the openDocument a little bit. By doing so, I was able to insert some behind-the-scenes-login code wherein no matter who the portal user (Win AD-based) is, he is logged in to BOE as a generic "dashboard-user" and the dashboard is served up. This worked fine for the first dashboard where all we had was SWF and some WebI linking using openDocument (no full-InfoView access).
But in this second dashboard now, what we also have is a hyperlink for users to get to InfoView to do Ad-hoc reporting. What this does is open a child browser window from within the portal (dashboard) --- and it remembers the BOE session for the generic user id "dashboard-user" and logs the end-user in to InfoView using that. But what I actually want is that the end-users, on this new window, should only be prompted at the traditional InfoView logon screen where they can manually enter their Windows AD password and get in. Thus, I would like to keep the dashboard SWF page session separate from the InfoView ad-hoc session, which I cannot seem to do because of the browser relationship and session maintenance.
I am trying to find a way where I can simulate a single sign-on for dashboard viewers on the portal, but at the same time let them jump off to InfoView as themselves.
Any thoughts on how I can do this?
Notes:
We DO NOT have Single Sign-On enabled for InfoView
We are using Windows AD authentication (manual, no SSO)
We are on Tomcat

Sarang Deshpande wrote:
1) If the InfoView app on Tomcat (desktoplaunch) is configured with Vintela, openDocument calls from the portal with automatically work using behind the scenes SSO, correct?
in XIR2 everything that falls under infoview should SSO when infoview is setup for SSO (not the case in XI 3.x)
Sarang Deshpande wrote:
2) What is the best practice when it comes to the service accounts needed? I have implemented Windows AD manual auth already so I have a service account that use for that. Should I be using the same on and making vintela/SSO-specific changes to it...or should I have a separate vintela service account and deal with two different ones..each for a diff purpose?
There is no best practice per se but the less service account the lower your chances to duplicate an SPN, functionally everything seems to work just as well with multiple as it does with 1 (of course with 1 there is less management work) If you click the SSO link in my forum sticky post I have a section explaining this with some suggested methods of deploying a service account(s)
Sarang Deshpande wrote:
3) Other than some minor browser configurations that might be required, is there anything else that I should communicate to the team about what might be required to be "pushed" to users' PCs?
Using the default config nothing should be required on the client machine (unless SSO has been disabled in the browser or you intend to use a url that contains a period ..... (i.e. FQDN or IP) with hostname URL (the default) it should just work.
To note if you have XP SP2 or older there is a microsoft spnego bug you may need to apply a fix if you aren't patched to SP3 (about 5% of our customers run into this).

Enterprise portal integration with Oracle forms

Hi
Can anyone help me on this .
"Enterprise portal integration with Oracle forms".
I want to integrate oracle forms to EP .I am trying to work with app Integrator but I am not able to make any headway.Do you have any documents pertaining to this or any place where I can look for details.
Thanks
Alok

Hi,
i'm not aware of special integration feature with Oracle forms, but if as you said we are talking about a web application available via url then i see no problem doing so. the way you can implement the SSO is using something called Application Integrator which helps you build smart URL iView's that can use the portal framework (like systems, user profile , etc) , so you can build your oracle forms integration iView that will take the user password data from the portal (via system) using user mapping or sap logon tickets.
for more details on Application Integrator see
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/70/5a3842134bad04e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
regarding to the java applet, i don't really know what you mean by "jinitiator" but if your regular browser can do it then i see no reason for problems.
i hope it helps

SAP Portal Integration with InfoView

Hi Experts,
I have successfully configured SAP Portal Integration with InfoView using the following steps provided by Ingo:
- set the system that you want to be authenticated against as the DEFAULT system in the options of the SAP authentication.
- go to the webapps folder of your app server and navigate to the InfOView folder
For the Java version of InfoView (Windows environment) you need to edit the file web.xml, which is located (assuming Tomcat as application server) in the directory \Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewApp\WEB-INF for the actual deployment.
In addition you can make the change to the file in the folder <INSTALLDIR>\BusinessObjects Enterprise12.0\warfiles\WebApps\InfoViewApp\WEB-INF. The files in the second locations are being used when you redeploy the web applications with a tool like wdeploy. You need to change the following values
authentication.default = secSAPR3
siteminder.enabled = False
sso.enabled = True
Then I have created URLiView to InfoView login page, when the user click on the link, BOBJ will use the DEFAULT system to authenticate user.
However, there is a new requirement for users who exist in another SAP system to SSO into InfoView too. My question is whether we can specify in URLiView url or other configuration to select which SAP System to authenticate user on?
I would like to create Role A and Role B in Portal and each will display different URLiView that will authenticate user against different SAP System if possible.
Appreciate your advise.
Regards,
Medy

Hi Ingo,
Thank you for your reply.
We are trying to create an URLiView to the logon page of InfoView: http://<BOBJ Server>/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp that will bring the user to InfoView home if SSO passed instead of OpenDocument URL.
I have tried to add URL parameters to the URLiView (http://<BOBJ Server>//InfoViewApp/logon.jsp?SAP_SYSID=DCD&SAP_CLIENT=200), but InfoView is still using the default system in CMC to authenticate user.
Please advise.
Best Regards,
Medy

Access denied:com.sap.ip.bi.web.portal.integration.launcher

Hi Friends,
I have installed a Standalone Portal ( EP, EP core, BI Java) , configured LDAP as data source and imported the Portal content from Source system . ( in Development, Quality, Production)
I completed all configuration and testing completed.
But the portal user created with customized iviews roles are working fine in Development and Production.
But ....Access denied:com.sap.ip.bi.web.portal.integration.launcher error is encountered in Quality system.
In QAS system, while installation I have selected EP, EP core as Usage type.. and after Insatllation I have installed additional Usage tye BI JAVA using JSPM
Whereas in DEV, PRD ( EP, EP core, BI Java) were taken as Usage types while installation only..
Above reason may effect the Test user for access denied error.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Venkat

Ramana,
It looks like a permissions issue, right click on the system created for BI under System Admin-System Configuration-System landscape and open the permissions and ensure you have the everyone group added there and enduser checked.
Good Luck!

Com.sap.ip.bi.web.portal.integration.launcher slow in Portal

Hi experts,
com.sap.ip.bi.web.portal.integration.launcher is consistently showing as one of the slowest-running in our NW2004s SP16 Portal (non-Federated). Even the report variable screen is slow to load especially on first-time access. E.g., 31.8 seconds first time, 5.9 seconds second access in same session.
But what is curious is that it sometimes the variable screen load time goes as low as 350ms if you keep trying within the same session.
We've done the obvious - patching the BI Web App components, tuning the portal & Java runtime, checking the JCOs, load-balancing, tweaked the BI backend... but without being able to impact the performance of this application substantially.
So I would value any suggestions for improvement! Any tables we can cache? Any SAP Notes to shed some light on this area? Any Portal settings to tweak?
Thanks, Marc

Hi Marc,
Slow point are to com.sap.ip.bi.web.portal.integration.launcher and
JCO connection. Would you please check CPIC_MAX_CONV in SAP Note 314530?
-Regarding of BI java on Web performance, would you please check the
SAP Note 1022930?
SAP Note 1025307 is a summary notes for performance on Web.
Do you use antivirus software with a javascript scanner, but still would you please also check the SAP Note 983066 because sometime this also may responsible for slow performance.
SAP Note 948158: Performance problems/measuring BI Java Web runtime
One more thing would like to highlight:
In first acess it's slow because OLAP cache was not in use, but after the first execution it's loading the variable from the cache so it's comperatively fast then the previous acess.
Let me know, incase any confusion..
Thank you,
Tilak

How to check Portal integrated in Landscape

What transacton code can I use to check a portal is running in the landscape that I am working with and whether BI (7.0) is already integratedin that portal?

BI Portal Integration can be checked by launching a query using Bex tools and executing it or publishing it to portal.
You can use transaction RSRT (Query Monitor) and use Java Web to test it as well.
Using transaction SM30 check table RSPOR_T_PORTAL and see what portal URL is used by your BI system. If your BI and Portal Integration is complete then URL prefix will have this information.

SSO from portal to Java based web application not happening

Hi,
We are trying to configure SSO from SAP Enterprise portal with Java based
web application(Solaris on SPARC 64 bit).
Then we downloaded library files for "Solaris on SPARC 64 bit" from
service market place from the path "Support Packages and Patches"
Additional Components" SAPSSOEXT".
We are successful in sending the portal side cookie to the application.
But while loading the library files we get the following error
INFO | jvm 1 | 2009/04/13 04:47:00 | java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:
/usr/local/blackboard/apps/tomcat/lib/libsapssoext.so: ld.so.1: java:
fatal: /usr/local/blackboard/apps/tomcat/lib/libsapssoext.so: wrong ELF
class: ELFCLASS64 (Possible cause: endianness mismatch)
Can you please suggest us what went wrong in this whole process.
But when i tried with the 32 bit library files i was able to load libsapssoext.so file but when I
tried to initialize libsapsecu.so i got the below message
java.lang.Exception: MySapInitialize failed: rc= 14
Also do we require to take"SAPSECULIB" from Support Packages and Patches" ...>Additional Components" ...>SAPSECULIB" ...>SAPSECULIB 5.4 for this SSO activity.
Please get back on this ASAP as we are nearing the golive date.

SSO between Portal and Java WD application

Hi Experts,
I am using CE 7.2 on localhost and I am very new to SAP.
I need to know how can I get SSO between Portal and Java WD. I have a WD application that displays the logged in user using "IUser currentUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getSAPUser()", as well I can use "IUser user = UMFactory.getAuthenticator().getLoggedInUser()". Both work.
Q1. What is the difference in the 2 above?
Q2. My WD application is set to authenticate user. The WD application is in URL iView. I need SSO between Portal and WD application. Is there a way to get this SSO without SAP Backend (ECC), for now I just need SSO between Portal and Java WD appl.
Everything is in localhost.
Please advice. Thanks.

> need to know how can I get SSO between Portal and Java WD.
Then I suggest you ask your question in the Web Dynpro Java forum instead of the Web Dynpro ABAP one.
