Visibility of non-SAP reports and documents in the Portal

Hi All,
I am new to the portal forum and need your direction. We have the need for outside users to view static reports and documents not generated by SAP on the portal. Can anyone point me to documentation on how this can be accomplished? We do not have Knowledge Management installed and my research seems to show that KM is the only way, is there another and how can we do it?
Thanks for your help.
Pam

Pam,
How are your reports served? If they are served up by URL, you can create a URL iview back to the source system. If you need to store them in the portal system then you need KM.

Scenario for interface between a non sap system and a SAP erp

Hello,
I need some help in order to elaborate a interface between a SAP ERP and a non-sap system with the help of a XI system.
   - At first regarding the interface from the non sap system and a SAP ERP :
       the non sap system sends a flat file to the XI system. The flat file contains a row with header data and rows with item data. We were thinking when the file arrives to the XI system, to save the data in a header database and in a items database in XI. is it possible ?
And then to have like a job that reads the database and creates idoc and sends them to the SAP erp and updates the xi header and items database with a flag that means that the records have been sent to the SAP erp.
   -   Regarding the interface SAP erp to non SAP system:
       the SAP erp sends idoc to XI. Then the idocs are transformed into flat file.
Is this scenario possible ?
Do we need any adaptator between the non sap system and the XI ?
Thank you for your help
Christophe

Hi Bontron,
Idoc doesnot support synchronous call. So you can use either proxy or function module and inturn call the idoc from them and send response back to xi. You need to have two scenarios for your design.
Scenario1:   Source File (file adapter) -- xi -- Dump into database tables (Jdbc Adapter)
Scenrio2: Pickup form Database tables (Jdbc Adapter) -- xi -- RFC Adapter ---> This is synchronous call.
Regarding the interface SAP erp to non SAP system
You can send idoc to xi and from there use File adapter to send to the receiving system.
These blogs may help you to some extent:

Configuring ALEAUD message between Non - SAP sytem and SAP sytem through XI

Hi
We have Scenario like an IDoc would be send to SAP through XI system by a non - sap system and expects the Status of the sent IDoc from SAP system in an Async communication by using ALEAUD message type.
Non SAP <==> XI <==> SAP
We have tried and ending up an error at SAP while the ALEAUD is being sent back.
"No Service for the system <SID> and <Client number> in the Integration Directory"
We are able to successfully send MATMAS IDoc to SAP throgh XI by non - sap system(File Server) but while sending Acknowledgement(ALEAUD)IDoc, it is failing at trfc queue(Status 03). RFC destination and Port and Partner Profile all Ok.
When we configure the same between two R/3 systems as XI between is working fine for the same Scenario but for Non - SAP system to SAP ,it is giving problem.
As we know "ALE audit is only possible for IDocs of type logical system (LS)."
Can't we treat XI system as logical system insted of actual sending system and configure ALEAUD??? We are ending up with the same error above.
Appreciate if anybody throw light???
Thanks in Advance.
Kind Regs
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
In your Integration Directory, in the Sender Business System --> Adapter Specific Identifiers, you have to give the logical name for the business System pointing to the R/3 system. Just try this.
Also take a look at this blog:-
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/29/xi-error--unable-to-convert-the-sender-service-to-an-ale-logical-system
I hope this helps.

Advantages of segment reporting and document splitting

Hi Experts,
Please provide the advantages of segment reporting and document splitting. and also please share any configuration document relating to this.
Thanks
Chandana

Hi!
Segment is a business sub unit for internal reporting purpose. This ensures to give a performance report in terms of money on particular segment. Profit center need segment in their master data. If you want a different segment than profit center segment, you have to implement BAPi with the help of ABAPer to get the derived segment.
Document splitting means to split up the line items for selected dimentions (Ex: Profit Centers, segments etc). You can split up a single line items with multiple line items for desired reporting purpose.
You have to follow certain steps at IMP to configure this.

Migrating HFR and Web Analysis Reports and Documents

Dear All,
Is there any way I can migrate HFR and Web Analysis Reports and Documents from test environments to production instead of re-creating reports?
Thanks,
ioGGo.

For HFR reports,
- If you want to do a bulk export, then choose File->Export & select multiple reports & save to a .zip file when prompted. In this case, reports' folder hierarchy is maintained the same as in source.
- If you want to do a selective export, select the folder(where your report is present) from the (left)navigation pane. Then choose File->Export, select the report & save to a .des file when prompted.
For WAS reports,
you may export each report definition from File -> Export. I believe- it'd let you save as .apt file.
However, for both type of reports, you need to ensure the respective database connection file(s) are already present before you import the reports/documents in your prod. environment.

You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

How to pass username and password with the portal url

i want to access portal from my web site. i have created username and password fields in my web page. when submited , my portal page should open. so how to pass username and password with the portal url.

This is not straightforward; but it is doable.
First tell us about your portal version; portal 10.1.4 has a slightly different method of doing it and the pre-10g portals were completely different animals.
And if you are in AS Rel 2, then the most important document for you would probably be the following:
[Creating Deployment Specific Pages| http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/idmanage.1012/b14078/custom.htm#i1015535]
You might want to use it in conjunction with some metalink notes about your portal version and such a login page.
hope that helps!

HTTP Headers - enabling caching and compression with the portal?

Has anyone configured their web server (IIS or Apache) or use a commercial product to flawlessly cache and compress all content generated by the portal?
Compression and caching is critical for making our portal based applictions work for overseas users. It should be doable, just taking advantage of standard HTTP protocols, but implementing this a complex system like the portal is tricky, we seem to be generating different values in the HTTP Headers for the same types of files (such as CSS).
We are running Apache so can't take advantage of the built in compression capabilities of the .net portal. We are running the java vervion. 6.1 mp1, sql server 2000 (portal, search, collab, publisher, studio, analytics, custom .net and java portlets on remote server).
Basically our strategy is to compress all outgoing static and dynamic text content (html, CSS, javascript), and to cache all static files (CSS, javascript, images) for 6 months to a year depending on file type.
Here are some links on the subjects of caching and compression that I have compiled:

Hi Scott,
Does Weblogic platform 8.1 supports netscape? We have developed a portal which
works perfectly on IE but it dies in netscape. Is netUI tags not supported in
Netscape?
Pls reply

Netscape 4.x and below have terrible performance with nested tables.
The
problem is not the Portal server but rather Netscape on the client machine.
If IE and/or a recent version of Netscape/Mozilla is not possible then
there are
really only two options:
1) Faster client hardware - not likely to be an acceptable solution.
2) Minimize the number of portlets and the complexity within the portlets.
Neither of these solutions are a great answer, but the 4.7 series of
Netscape is
getting pretty old. Having said that, we've got customers who want to
continue
to use IE 4 :)
Again, though, this problem is, I'm afraid out of our hands. It is the
client
rendering time that is the issue.

b/c it takes so long to load some of the webapps. What the pages willdo when
loading is that the headers will come up and when it gets to the bodyof the page
it seems to stall and then comes up all of a sudden. For some of thepages it
takes 6 seconds and for others it takes about 24-27 seconds.
We have suggested using IE only but that is not an option with allof the customers
and getting a newer version of Netscape is also out of the question.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.--

Non sap reporting

Hi everyone,
Can anybody tell me if there are alternative tools (other than sap) for reporting?
And, why would one choose for this alternative??
Thanks in advance
Gr
Guido

Hello Guido,
if your source system is R/3, SAP BI can be the best datawarhousing tool you can have for reporting simply becoz of it's seamless connectivity with R/3 and becoz of SAPIs provided by SAP.
As far as advantages are concerned, they are simply never ending if i have to specify here.
The SAP datawarehousing tool differs than other conventional datawarehouses simply by using the Surrogate ID concept in the multi-dimensional modelling(Star schema as we call it), which helps in Master data sharing between cubes, also in case of source system with different languages, faster retrieval etc etc etc.
I will recommend to go thro' SAP site to understand and appreciate the tool.
Also as far as SAP is concerned u can simply refer to it's client list and the unbelivable figures making it the market leader and remain on the top position always......
thanks,

Balance report and document types

Hi:
Just one simple question. I am not a FI, but I need to get Balance report, but I need to select only several Document Types. Is this possible?
Do you know this kind of report?
Thanks very much in advanced.
Regards

Hi,
Balance reports are based on totals, while document type is an attribute of a single document. You can produce such a report only based on the documents' tables, e.g. FBL3N report, but not on totals where the balance is calculated.
Regards,
Eli
