Web Dispatchers Sizing for Portal

SCN,
SAP doesn't offer a quicksizer for Web Dispatchers. I have read "Sizing the SAP Web Dispatcher" deck.
(1) Once SAPS are established, how is this extrapolated to hardware sizing? (1a) Do I need to speak with a h/w vendor to understand the host system's SAPS capability?
(2) If the system is virtual, how many SAPS do I allocate for VMWare?
(3) For an SSL termination scenario, can anyone proffer a rule of thumb for server size depending on Messages/Second (ie for 1000 messages/second, how many 2 (2.4 GHz CPU) x 4 (GB RAM) servers with a single WD instance are required)?
All thoughts appreciated.
Thanks,
Sawyer

Hi Samuli, SCN,
Thanks for the info.
Per (3), I was searching for something generic, although it's probably infeasible as #SAPS/server model can change drastically with the slightest config difference. One could look to SAP Benchmark Results for a server certification (with #SAPS capabilities) if the HW vendor had benchmarked the server config in mind. Since our HW vendor did not, I've worked with them to understand the SAPS capabilites of our server config.
Another thing:
From that same deck, when estimating "average number of messages per user interaction step" for the WD sizing equation, does it make sense to double the number of requests detailed in a Portal ADC trace?
My reasoning:
In another SCN question, you thought in the context of WD sizing, messages are HTTP(S) requests, GETs, or POSTs. Makes sense. From Portal ADC data, I've gleaned the total number of users and their requests during the peak hour. Since the WD acts as an application gateway/reverse proxy (incoming HTTP(S) requests are forwarded by the WD to an App Server ICM, then the App Server's response is returned to the client back through the WD), for every client request, two messages flow across the WD.
Thanks,
Sawyer

Advice on saving DVD video and re-sizing for the web

Hello...
I'm looking into purchasing a copy of Adobe Premiere - but I need advice on which version I need - and if it can do what I'm after.
I want to transfer my own video work from DVDs and save them as MPEG4 files. I then want to upload them on to my website. They'll be about 10 minutes each each DVD will have several videos on them.
Is Adobe Premiere able to do this...? If so which version would suit me best? It's simply to do the above with no editing, just re-sizing for the web and saving as an MPEG4 file.
Thank you for your help and time in advance.

For web video creation, I use a program called V2F. It creates Flash rather than mp4, but if you're not stuck on that format, the files are very good quality.

Using web dispatcher for portal and BW access

We currently have SAP's Web Dispatcher installed in our DMZ, which links the outside world to our internal enterprise portal installation. This configuration works fine for portal connectivity (see sapwebdisp.pfl below). However, we have BW reports (BW report iViews and URL iViews) which are accessed via the portal.
I do not know what configuration (if any) needs to additionally be set up on the Web Dispatcher host to allow connectivity. Currently, when accessing a BW report via the portal (coming from the Web Dispatcher) the report request is immediately terminated with an error due to a DNS lookup error (as the BW server is on our internal segment).
The Web Dispatcher is aware of both the internal portal server and BW server IP address and hostname and has the appropriate access (port/firewall) to retrieve these reports. Further, the HTTPURLLOC table is maintained (see example below) on the BW server as recommended in SAP Note 750292 (help file = http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/59/31ae42e0fac911e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm)
However, I can't get BW reports to work remotely. Should Is there something else that should be added to the Web Dispatcher's configuration? Is there something that I should be doing on the iView side (ie. not hardcoding hostname / port to the query string?). Please advise. Thanks!

Jerry,
Do you have any projections on when iAS2 will be available and what new functionalities it will provide?

It's true that web cache can't be used in the current releases (including 3.0.8/iAS 1.0.2.1).
We're working on integration, which we expect to have by iAS 2, and quite likely before.

Prob. exec. print job from RFC which im calling Web Dynpro java in Portal

Hi,
Ive got a problem executing a print job from an RFC which im calling in Java web Dynpro Application in Portal. Im using an Acess Method G: for Front End Printing but Order gets stuck with the Status "Waiting" "Front end unavailable".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!!

HI,
I dont think you would be able to do this. Instead, you need to get the content from RFC into WD java and print from the browser.

Help, need to change IP address on host database for Portal

Hi folks,
Rather urgent assistance (as usual) needed. I have an installation working correctly on a pair of Win2k machines, one as the 9i database, one as the 9iAS/Portal. The app server has 2 NIC cards, one with public IP address (which is ok), one on the LAN. I need to reconfigure the LAN addresses on both the machines. Initial Portal install done without DNS, i.e. actual server/host addresses entered in the configuration.
I have tried changing all of the TNS/Listner settings and the NIC card IP addresses and restarting the machines. The likes of SQLPlus work ok, with the TNS connect name allowing over the LAN access into the database with the new LAN addresses. I cannot seem to get the 9iAS/Portal to find the repository with the new addresses.
Can someone help please? I can't find the answer in any documentation or other postings.
Thanks in advance
Rob

There are other modes of operation for the plasst as well. I am listing them below but the formatting will make it difficult to read. If you like I can email it to you.

Configuring Portal when the HTTP server host name of the Infrastructure is changed
Run the following from the $ORACLE_HOME/assistants/opca dir
ptlasst.bat -mode SSOPARTNERCONFIG -i typical -sdad portal -host myApache.domain.com -port 7777 -silent -verbose
NOTE:
(1) This command would create a new Portal partner application in the SSO to reflect the changes of the Infrastructure. Before running this command please ensure to configure the SSO with the correct hostname by running the ssocfg.bat script located in the Infrastructure install (<infra_home>\sso\bin).
The value for -host parameter will be the IP address of the infrastructure server and -port will be the port where the infrastructure http server is running on.
Configuring Portal when the HTTP server host name of the Middle tier is changed
ptlasst.bat -mode MIDTIER -i typical -host myApache.domain.com -port 7777 -ldap_h myOID.domain.com -ldap_p 389 -ldap_w welcome -pwd secret123 -portal_only -oh /home/oracle -chost myHostname.domain.com -cport_i 8001 -cport_a 8000 -wc_i_pwd invalidator -mc false -mi true -silent -verbose
NOTE :
(1) The -host value should match the serverName value of the httpd.conf
(2) The -chost should be updated with the correct webcache hostname. In a default iAS midtier install the -host is same as the -chost.
The value for -host parameter will be the IP address of the midtier(portal) server and -port will be the port where the portal is running on.

Web Dynpro Java - Light Portal Desktop

Hi Guys... I have a web dynpro java application that I want to display on a Light Portal Desktop, but when I display the iview... it gets cut. I mean I can see only part of my application and there is also a right scroll bar... It looks like the height size of the iview is set to "FIXED" but it's not. I Actually modifed all values for size even on the Light Framework Page used...to FULL_SCREEN. I don't know what's wrong. If I display the same iview using a Default Framework Page it looks fine... I'm using SAP EP 7.00 SP 16.
Is there any restriction for using Web Dynpro iviews for Light Porta Desktops?
Thank you.

David,
Webdynpro content is considered heavy and I dont think we can use it in LPD.

Not able to run web dynpro application from portal.

Hi portal experts,
I want to run my web dynpro application from portal.
So created a seperate iview and a role for the purpose.
Assigned the iview to the role and also mapped a abap user id to the new role created.
But when I click on 'preview' the iview , getting the following dump.
Error when processing your request
What has happened?
The URL http://mnghcmsap:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zhr_cp_admin/ was not called due to an error.
Note
The following error text was processed in the system HRM : Die URL enthält keine vollständige Domainangabe (mnghcmsap statt mnghcmsap.<domain>.<ext>).
The error occurred on the application server mnghcmsap_HRM_00 and in the work process 0 .

What can I do?
If the termination type was RABAX_STATE, then you can find more information on the cause of the termination in the system HRM in transaction ST22.
If the termination type was ABORT_MESSAGE_STATE, then you can find more information on the cause of the termination on the application server mnghcmsap_HRM_00 in transaction SM21.
If the termination type was ERROR_MESSAGE_STATE, then you can search for more information in the trace file for the work process 0 in transaction ST11 on the application server mnghcmsap_HRM_00 . In some situations, you may also need to analyze the trace files of other work processes.
If you do not yet have a user ID, contact your system administrator.

Please let me know if I am doing the process correctly and also let me know if I am missing somthing.

Are you able to run teh web dynpro application independtly i.e. without creatin an iview.
http://mnghcmsap:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zhr_cp_admin/ by using this link.
or there also you are getting the error.
i guess there also you should be gettign the error.
this is some problem with the FQDN settings in the abap system.
in the host name of the web dynpro applciation server one .(dot) is must.
so you might have to change the host name to some thing like mnghcmsap. from mnghcmsap

Hi Mahesh,
You need to setup a Single Sign On between SAP Portal and ECC system where yoy are doing the development.
Ask basis team to setup the single sign on and usually this is the job done by Basis teams. Refer the below link to get some idea on SSO setup:

Storing user defaults of Web Dynpro application on portal

Hi folks,
I am trying to develop Web Dynpro application that runs in an iView on a portal. I would like to remember certain user defaults for this application (e.g., user default plant). User also has control over this value, so whenever they change it, the value should be update on a backend as well.
My first thought was to use PCD, but I am not sure how to do that - all the code examples for I found for PCD looked like they were created for portal application, not Web Dynpro ones.
Anybody here actually done anything similar?
Edited by: Alexei Isaev on Jan 29, 2008 8:20 PM

Hi Alexei,
If you need to store default values for a portal application, you may consider your development in Web Dynpro for ABAP. I have not come across application level personalisation yet in Web Dynpro for Java, unless someone else can throw some light here.

WebI reports in Enterprise Portal - Are they static??

Hi All,
We currently have Bex reports on our enterprise Portal. Users can actually go to the portal and view the reports and go to edit mode and drag and drop objects and change the view the way they like and save it as a new view.
We are planning to shift from Bex Reporting to business Objects. If I create an iview for WebI report and have the WebI report on the Portal, can we do the same. Can we still edit the Report and save a different report of it or is it more like a static page with just the data.
We need to give atleast 100 users the ability to get to these queries and make changes to them as they like and save their own views.
Also what is Knowledge Management? Does that give us the ability to create webI reports in enterprise Portal. Please calrify..
Thank you,
Aparna

Hi
you can edit a report which is visible over a URL iView and save it in the BOBJ repository under a different name (assuming your user has been assigned the appropriate auhtorizations in the bobj repository). The problem is that the iView will always invoke the original report.
I would recommend using KMC. It provides you with the ability to view and create WebI reports from within the EP. Another option is to add a URL iView, hich starts the InfoView (simplified: BOBJ Portal) from within the portal. But the look and feel over the KMC integration is more EP complient.
Take a look at the Installation and Administration Guide for the BOBJ XI Integration for SAP solutions.

Any help regarding will be highly appriciated.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Our sales rep told us yesterday that Workshop for WLS9 will be available around the end of the year.
Until then there is no upgrade path for current workshop apps either. That means that apps developed in Workshop 8.1 won't run in WLS9 apparently.
