WAD and Portal

Hi Gurus,
In BI 7.0 can we publish the WAD reports without help of portal. If possible pls provide some documents.
Currently we are using the ABAP stack engine and BI 7.0 SP14.
Best Regards,
Rams.

You can do this via the 3.x role menu.
For execution of a 7.0 webtemplate, the portal always is used. However you can avoid a full portal implementation for your users and use the old way via the WAD role as followed...
Step 1: Open the old role menu template (version 3.x) with the old WAD 3.x tooling
Step 2: Set the properties of the role menu item "target frame" to "new page"
Step 3: Execute your 7.0 webtemplate and copy the full URL
Step 4: In PFCG use BEx Web Template as role menu item
Step 5: Paste the full URL in the "BEx Web Template" role menu item details
Now log-in via the 3.x template containing the 3.x role menu.... Your new 7.0 will open in a new window for execution...
hope it helps.

WAD and VC Integration issues

Hi Experts!
I need to integrate WAD and VC to accomodate the hierarchy filter. I follow the guide https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5a40f2f7-0c01-0010-d69f-c6317c5165cd
step by step. My requirements is similar to the scenario 6.1 in the guide; I need to have a button value help which invoke the hierarchy dialog and then send as a filter to the query. I was able to display the hierarchy in VC when clicking on the button value help but the problem is when the selection was made; there's nothing happen; the value doesn't send back to query to get filter.
I tried to turn the flash debugger on and I don't see any event being populated after making the selection from the hierarchy (in fact, nothing happens). I did try to just use the simple form to map the filter and nothing happens as well; the form input field is blank.
Can you please shed some light as to what I might be missing? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hi Jamie,
interessting issue. A collleague told me the same issue a few days ago. He also told me that this could be caused by the Web API. We are investigate at the moment if this issue is an result of the Web API which is not offical support by SAP under SAP NetWeaver 7.0. (Now you should use the BICS (BI Consumer Services).)
Can you give me the information which SPS do you use?
We are using SPS 12 at the moment and also have some problems.

Web Application Design: BEx Web Application Designer
Use
Web application design allows you to use generic OLAP navigation for your BW data in Web applications as well as in business intelligence cockpits for simple or highly individual scenarios. Web application design comprises a broad spectrum of Web-based business intelligence scenarios, which you can adjust to meet your individual needs using standard Web technologies.
Features
The following graphic illustrates the basic concept of Web Application Design with the Web Application Designer as the central tool:
You can use this BEx Web Application Designer, the desktop application used to create Web applications, to generate HTML pages that contain BW-specific contents such as tables, charts or maps. These objects, which retrieve BW data from a data provider and place it in a Web application as HTML, are known as Web items. For more information on the Web items available, see Web Items.
You can save the Web applications as a URL and access them from an intranet or on mobile devices. In addition, you can save Web applications as iViews and integrate them into an Enterprise Portal.
The Web Application Wizard is an assistant that is integrated into the Web Application Designer. You can use this to help you create Web applications using a step-by-step procedure and to simplify design activities. The Web application wizard helps you to work with Web application design confidently and create your first Web applications.
Business Explorer Web application design also allows you to create highly individual scenarios with user-defined interface elements by using standard markup languages and Web design APIs. You can individually adjust and enhance Web Templates, the HTML pages that determine the structure of Web applications. For further information, see:
Object Tags
Command URLs
Use of Forms
Data Provider
Query View
Use of JavaScript-Functions
In addition, using a Web design application programming interface (Web design API), you can change the display of tables or navigation blocks in Web applications. See Web Design API for Tables
WorkBook
Queries in Workbooks
Use
Queries are inserted into workbooks so you can display them. When you insert a query, a link is made between the cell areas of the worksheet and the data of the InfoProvider upon which the query is based. A link therefore exists between the Business Explorer and the Business Information Warehouse Server (BW Server). This link stays in place until you interrupt it (see Settings).
When you open a query and insert it into a workbook, the query is calculated and the view (initial view) of the data established in the Query Designer is displayed.
If variables that are ready for input are used in the query, you can enter the required values for the variables or confirm the default values when you insert the query.
Workbooks into which queries are inserted are no different in appearance than other Excel workbooks. They can be saved as files, copied, sent and (using Excel functions) edited however you like and even supplemented with other data.
Features
You can choose whether you want to insert a query into a new workbook, into an existing one, or into a workbook template:
If you want to insert a query into a new workbook:
Choose the symbol for Open...from the BEx toolbar. This brings you to the screen Open SAP BEx:
Select Queries from the left column.
Select a query from all those available. The queries are arranged according to InfoProviders.
Double-click on the required query or choose OK.
If you want to insert a query into the active workbook:
Open a workbook and, from the BEx toolbar, choose Tools ® Insert Query.... The query is then inserted into the current worksheet starting at the active cell.
If you want to insert a query into a workbook template:
Create a workbook template.
Insert the query into the workbook template.
See: Creating Workbook Templates
If you use the function Based on Permanent Template (see Settings), the Business Explorer queries in all these workbooks will have the same formatting when you insert them.
hope it helps,

BI Web 7.0 and Portal

Hi,
If I need to use WAD and publish reports in Web using BI 7.0, do I need to install portal seperately or is it integerated with Java stack?
What I mean is does the customer need to buy portal to use BEx Web 7.0 features?
Pls confirm.
Thanks
Suja

Normally there would be BI portal which comes together with 7.0, if you have that, then you don't need EP.
thanks.

SSO between Portal Application and Portal Admin Tool

Hi All,
We have a requirement for implementing SSO between a Portal application and
Portal admin tool.
We are using WL Portal 8.1 SP4.
Here is the reason for this requirement -
A user logged-into Portal Application needs to login to Portal Admin tool to
do some admin activity. We want to provide a link in the portal application
using which the user can directly login to the Portal Admin tool without
having to enter the credentials again.
If someone has any info on how to implement this, can you please point me in
the right direction.
Thanks,
~Deepak

Hi,
When creating PP you have 2 options
PP used for compiling and PP used for Building
You create PP with all the libraries into Developing/Compiling Other DCs
And another PP with all the libraries into can be packaged into other build results (SDAs).
Once you have these 2 PP in place you add the DC as used DC.
And this should resolve the issue.
Hope this helps.
Cheers-

SSO and portal timeout -- other bug?

...this is very probably related to the other post talking about SSO and portal timeout...
I am having another weird issue with dotnet portlets that uses inline refresh (done automatically by dotnet accelerator) and SSO.
When you let the portal session expire, and then click on a button/link within a portlet (hence generate an inline refresh gatewayed request), the full portal window (header/footer etc...) appears within the portlet, instead of the portlet content alone.
I did some http traces (see below) and it seems the problem is due to the windows SSOLogin.aspx (we are using windows auth SSO) not taking the requested portlet gatewayed request url as a post login redirect info... but taking instead the current page url (which is wrong)
Thus, after the gatewayed portlet request is successfully authenticated by the SSOLogin.aspx component, it is automatically redirected to the wrong urll...making the full portal page refresh into the portlet.
So my question is: have anyone already seen such behavior? And has anything been done to fix this?
It really seems like a bug with the SSO servlet...but maybe i am doing something wrong...Just want to have your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Fabien

I have this happen in v6.0 sp1. We have worked around the problem with a bit of work and synchronization of settings. Below, I've outlined how we've worked around the problem (which is indeed a problem that should be fixed). Also, if you have a load balancer, you'll need to set your session timeout on the load balancer to a bit more than the refresh rate that you set for your communities and My Pages.
Resolving the Portlet Timeout / Refresh Problem in ALUI Portal_
Problem: Users occasionally receive the portal page within a portlet error
Cause: The root cause has not been determined; however it appears that the primary event that exhibits the behavior is when a teammember’s session has expired on the portal server and they then utilize a .NET form-based portlet which refreshes in place. Because we are using WIA SSO to enable automatic logins to the portal, it makes the error seem to occur randomly.
Resolution:
The workaround solution is to – 1) increase the portal session timeout on the portal web servers from the default 20min to 4 hours, and 2) set the MyPage refresh interval setting for all portal users to 3 hours. The setting name is a bit of a misnomer, as it will actually refresh the entire portal page automatically if the user is idle on either a My Page or a Community Page, as these are the only two places that portlets reside.
Increasing the portal session timeout:
The portal session timeout is controlled in two places, and both settings should match. On the portal virtual directory in IIS, edit the configuration and increase the timeout setting to 240 (minutes). Then, edit the portal application’s web.config file (d:\portal\ptportal\6.0\webapp\portal\web\) and increase the sessionState Timeout variable to 240. Editting the config file will require you to restart the services before you see the change.
Initial setting of the MyPage refresh interval:
The initial setting will need to be done by a SQL script in order to apply it to all existing users. The Default Profile should also be updated so that all new user synched from AD will have this setting applied automatically.
/* Delete refresh interval settings for all users first so that there are no conflicts on the inserts */
DELETE FROM portaldbuser.ptprefs WHERE prefname = 'intMyPageRefreshRate'
/* Insert desired page refresh setting for all users */
INSERT INTO portaldbuser.ptprefs (userid,gadgetid,prefclassid,prefobjectid,prefname,prefvaluetype,prefvalue,pagenumber) SELECT objectid,0,0,0,'intMyPageRefreshRate',3,180,0 FROM portaldbuser.ptusers
From Administration, access the Default Profiles utility. Check the Default Profile entry and click on the Edit Profile Layout link. Click on the My Account link in the Portal Settings portlet and then on the Display Options link on the next page. In the Page and Portlet Settings, update the Your My Page will be updated: setting to 4 hours. Click Finish twice to return to Administration.
Updating the MyPage refresh interval:
To update the setting just modify the insert portion of the SQL script. Change the prefvalue number (180) to the desired timeout in minutes and rerun both statements of the script.
The Default Profile should be also be modified per the instructions above.
I hope this helps...

Single directory Server for Messaging and Portal

We are trying to unify our directory services.
At present, there two directory servers, one for iPlanet messaging 5.2 and another for Portal server 6.0.
Messaging's Directory server is v5.1 and Portal's Directory server is v5.2. Their BaseDN is same.
Now, What we are planning to do is as below.
1. LDIF everything from Msgr Directory and import into Portal's Directory.
2. Point Msg Server to the Portal's directory.
But, we are not sure what to export or how to tell messaging server to look at the Portal's Directory. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks
Srini

What you are trying to do is non-trivial.
Setting the ldap server for user and groups on the mail server is easy enough -- look at the output of configutil and you will find the values of local.ugldap*
define the values you need to change.
e.g.:
local.ugldapbasedn
local.ugldapbindcred
local.ugldapbinddn
local.ugldaphost
local.ugldapport
etc.
These are all listed in the messaging reference manual.
You need to ensure that the schemas of the two apps. match. For example, if you are using schema 1 for mail and schema 2 for the portal (quite likely), there will be a lot more work to do on the directory than simply moving the user entries accross and merging them.
Unless you have done this sort of thing before, or feel very comfortable and knowlegable about how the messaging server in partuicular works with LDAP, I would suggest that you seriously consider getting help from Sun Professonal Services.

Can OAS9i and Portal be installed on Linux RedHat(kernel 2.2.19) platform?

Hi,
My question is the same as the subject written.
Can OAS9i and Portal be installed on Linux RedHat(kernel 2.2.19) platform? Basically, first, I can't find the OAS9i "*.cp" image files for RedHat Kernel 2.2.16 or later use, second, what I can download from OTN site is V1.0.2.2.1 which is for Linux RedHat Kernel 2.4.3-12 or later use. And I downloaded all the files which OAS9i version is V1.0.2.2.1, and failed to install on my platform. So I want to know is there anybody installing OAS9i and Portal successfully on RedHat 6.2(Kernel 2.2.19, glibc 2.1.3)? Or can share on other RedHat version had any successful installation processes or suggestion. Thanks in advance.
Regards!
