Web interface displays via Portal using Mozilla or Firefox

We have several web interfaces (BW-BPS) and have created iViews on our Portal (EPP 6.0). These iViews properly execute in IE 6.0.
However, when we execute the BPS iViews using Mozilla or Firefox we see significant display discrepancies. For example, the web interface should display grid lines between the rows, but, we don't see them when running through the Portal using Mozilla or Firefox.
We thought that the Web interfaces themselves may be the issue but they properly execute when run straight from BW in Mozilla 1.7.13.
Can anyone help with this problem? Thanks,
Bill

Hello Bill,
first of all please check the Product Availability Matrix. Not all browser versions are supported. http://service.sap.com/pam
Some visual differences between the browsers can not be avoided since browsers just behave differently.
If the browser is supported and it does not work correctly, please open a customer message.

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:

How do I prevent browsing and search data from being forwarded to Google by Mozilla, while still using Mozilla's Firefox as my default browser?

I do enjoy using Mozilla's Firefox as my default browser, BUT, I don't enjoy the details of my life, to include my Internet activity, to be archived by Google, or anyone else, via Mozilla's/Firefox's sharing of my Internet browsing and/or search engine activity with any aspect or facet of the Google organization. With all of this said, my question is, "How do I prevent browsing and search data from being forwarded to Google by Mozilla, while still using Mozilla's Firefox as my default browser?"

Firefox's default behavior includes no automatic interaction with Google.
We do use Google as default search engine and to report web forgery in the 'help' menu, but no data are sent to Google without your knowledge, and you can change your preferred search engine at will.
However many websites themselves make use of Google Ads which do cause interaction with Google when you load the webpages. This is visible in status bar and happens in any browser. The [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript NoScript] add-on for Firefox can largely save you from this problem.
If you see things happening otherwise, please reply with details on what you see.

Web Interfaces Running Through Portal - Tab Spacing

When a web interface is created in BPS_WB and run through BPS_WIF0, tabs and spacing are correct. When the web interface runs through the portal, the spacing on the tabs is off. Tab 1 is perfect, Tab 2 has one blank line /space before the functions / layouts, Tab 3 has 3 blank lines. How do I resolve this? Is it a template issue on the portal versus BPS_WIF0? I have tried playing with the spacing to no avail.
Thanks

Hi Cherie,
do you have an answer on that in the meantime?
I am new to the WAD and experience the same problem.
Thanks,

Server Side Trust and Webi Report Scheduling via Portal

Hello,
I have opened a similar thread about Server Side Trust and webintelligence reporting through the portal a few months ago.
At the time, we had some complaints about users that were getting SSO errors after 8 hours when scheduling WeBi Report through the SAP Portal.
Basically, the users connect to the Portal and then FROM the Portal, to a BOI view pointing to the Infoview.
Then, after investigatinon, it was my understanding that the WebI Reports should be scheduled through an Infoview token and not a portal token. In concrete terms Server Side Trust had to be implemented between the SAP BW Backend and the BOE 3.1 Server.
And after that the users who wanted to schedule WebI reports should connect to the Infoview directly (using their SAP BW credentials) to generate an Infoview Token.
Scheduling Webi reports from the Portal will not be solved by implementing Server Side Trust, since it is only a matter of time before the the Portal token expires ( 8 hour by default).
Now, I have configured the server side Trust between our BOE 3.1 SP2 and our BW 701 system, SNC configuration, PSE generation, exchange of certificats , etc ...
I did some scheduling tests connecting directly to the BO Infoview and it works.
But of course, now I am being told by the users that this solution is not acceptable.
The Portal being the entry point of our Infrastructure, they don't want to connect to the Infoview to schedule their reports.
So I opened a SAP customer call to try to have an official and clear statement from SAP but I never obtained it.
I had a look at my SAP BO courses but I am still confused
For example according to SAP BO100 , server side trust should be implemented when ;
"BOE client session authenticated using Single sign on using SAP token
(Enterprise Portal) and SAP reports are being scheduled at a future point in
time (after token expiry date)."
Anyone can help me to clear my mind ?
Thank you
Best Regards

Hi,
first of all lets separate the UI portion from the technical portion.
on the technical side:
yes for scheduling the Web Intelligence document you will need Server side trust
on the UI side:
- scheduling is part of InfoView
- scheduling is part of the KM integration with the portal
if that is not accepted from a UI point of view from the user you can create your own application to schedule documents using the SDK.

Web Template not displayed via Portal

Hi,
Maybe someone ran into this, I could not find a solution. I have developed a Web Template. The Web Template is emedded in an iView. The iView is embedded in a Page. The Workset links to the Page and is assigned to a role.
In our development environment everything runs fine. In our quality environment, the Web Template is not shown when it is accessed via the portal role (it seems some default template is shown) . However...if I preview the Page everything works.
Any hints?
Thanks,
Jeroen

I executed the program RSPARAM. The parameter ms/redirect_version is set to 0 in both DEV and Q. Furthermore the iView version is set to 2.x/3.x.
I also checked RSCUSTV27. Currently we have no templates maintained there (DEV and Q). If I look at RSCUSTV21, we have the template ZADHOC maintain for the Ad-hoc Analysis. Removing it does not help (it still shows the ZADHOC), but maintaining my template PM_REPORT_70 there seems to get the whole thing working. This is not a solution as it is a global parameter.
Under the role I have another Web Template that did not work at first as well. It would just give me a time-out. After maintaining the (Anwendungsparameter) Applicationparameter VARIABLE_SCREEN=X it suddenly worked.
The Page I am having issues with contains 2 iViews. A web template on the top and a html page in the bottom. When setting the Applicationparameter VARIABLE_SCREEN=X there it did not help.

How to access BW RFC FM as web service from Enterprise portal using SSO

We have developed a custom remote function module in our BW system. We are accessing this function module as a webservice from a java class we have written. This java class access the BW webservice and formats the output. We created a webservice on top of this java class and deployed on the Enterprise Portal. SSO is setup between EP and BW systems. So when i make call to the BW RFC webservice, i would like to make use of SSO setup between EP and BW instead of hardcoding the user id and password while calling the webservice. Please advise on how to achive this.
Thanks for the help.
Thanks

Aironet 1240AG - cant use the web interface

I am trying to configure a new Aironet 1240AG. After it picked an ip address from the DHCP in my lan, I still can't log in using the web interface. I am using an Internet Explorer 6.0 on Win 2000. It keeps telling me cannot find server. please i need assistance

Hi Obinna,
Sorry about the link :( The problem here is the fact that 12.3.(11)JX is a Lightweight image. Have a look;
Warning: All Cisco Aironet Access Points receiving Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(11)JX will only function in conjunction with a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller. They will no longer be able to function as Cisco Aironet Autonomous Access Points.
This product bulletin describes the content and delivery information for Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(11)JX. This is a Cisco Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) upgrade and recovery support software image supporting Cisco Aironet 1100, Aironet 1130, Aironet 1200, Aironet 1230 AG, Aironet 1240 AG, and Aironet 1300 Series Access Points.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5861/prod_bulletin0900aecd804b1a72.html
You can use this method to convert the AP back to Autonomous Mode (and access via Web);
Reverting the Access Point Back to Autonomous Mode
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/prod_technical_reference09186a00804fc3dc.html#wp161272
You can convert an access point from lightweight mode back to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS Release that supports autonomous mode (Cisco IOS release 12.3(7)JA or earlier). If the access point is associated to a controller, you can use the controller to load the Cisco IOS release. If the access point is not associated to a controller, you can load the Cisco IOS release using TFTP.
Using a TFTP Server to Return to a Previous Release
Follow these steps to revert from LWAPP mode to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS release using a TFTP server:
Step 1 The static IP address of the PC on which your TFTP server software runs should be between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.30.
Step 2 Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as c1200-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar for a 1200 series access point) in the TFTP server folder and that the TFTP server is activated.
Step 3 Rename the access point image file in the TFTP server folder to c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point, c1130-k9w7-tar.default for an 1130 series access point, and c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 series access point.
Step 4 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
Step 5 Disconnect power from the access point.
Step 6 Press and hold MODE while you reconnect power to the access point.
Step 7 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then release.
Step 8 Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green.
Step 9 After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the GUI or the CLI.
From this doc;

Integration of Web Interface of a Application in portal for external users

Hello portal experts,
our portal can be accessed from the internet (per ISA-Server and https). We have some applications that should be integrated in the portal.
This application having a web interface that should be used in this context. It's easy to do this for our interal users which could access the web interface of the applications directly.
But our requirement is to make this application accessible for our external users, too. I have tried a lot with the URL-iView and the server side fetching mode. The first page is shown but with broken images and the buttons are not clickable (Javascript not working).
Is it possible to use the portal as a kind of proxy that would get the request from the client and forward this to the application in the intranet or is the only way to match our requirement in making the applications accessible directly from the internet? Is there any other solution?
Best regards
Florian

Hi Florian,
No its not possible to use the SAP Portal as web proxy to your other web-app.
From my experiance I can tell you to stop searching/trying on the serverside fetching part, it wil not do wat you want.
There is only one solution direction and that is that you place some kind of reverse proxy in front of your Portal...
This reverse proxy solution (I keap it abstract as there are multiple solutions for this) should listen on the WWW and translate requests to the right servers.
For example calls to "/" could be translated to "/irj/portal/" and back
But also "/yourotherapp" can be translated to "http://yourotherappserver:port/yourotherapp and back
Resulting in that all calls to http://yourexternalurl/ will go to SAP Portal and all requests to http://yourexternalurl/yourotherapp will go to your other app. When this works you can use the URL or Intergrater iView using the default client side fetching.
I know that it is possible with Apache as a reverse proxy so I guess (and hope for you) that its also possible with ISA.
Good luck,
Benjamin Houttuin

"Invalid file" icon in web interface

Hi everybody,
I'm developing a java class that connects to the iFS and upload a file. My code is based on the OTN examples (http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/A96698_01/creatdoc.htm).
I've followed the steps in the tutorial to create a file in the iFS. The file is uploaded correctly, but when I use the web interface to look for the uploaded file, I see a invalid file icon aside the name of the file, instead of a normal file icon.
Am I missing anything? The only attributes I set are the name and the content of the file. Is this the problem? Do I have to set the contentType or similar?
If I use the web interface to upload the same file, the icon that appears is the "normal file" icon, not the "invalid file" icon. What are the differences?
Thank U in advance.

You probably didn't set the Format for the Document you created. The web interface displays icons based on the Document Format. (Look at the javadoc for the oracle.ifs.beans.Format class.)

Disabling Networked Printer Web Interfaces

Hello,
I did a search with my novice search skills and didn't find exactly what related to my issue. I have multiple virtual print servers on Win08 R2 with networked printers from different manufacturers. Is there a way other than going to each printer to
disable web interface access via host name or IP? I'm thinking possibly via GP.
Thanks

Since the Web interface is a device feature and has nothing to do with Windows, that's something you need to configure at the device level.

Tough Decision: Gmail Web Interface or Gmail Via Pop Using Mac Mail

Thought I would open a discussion about this since I have been having a tough time making a decision. I love using Gmail's web interface but hate losing the integration with Mac OS. I forward all my email from different providers to my Gmail so I can access all my email from any computer. This is very handy for me.
I have tried using the mail app to access gmail via pop, but one thing I hate is when I reply to an email from a different provider than gmail it will use the gmail reply address. Gmail's web interface will use the account that the email was sent to as the reply address automatically.
I am almost certain that others are in the same quandry as I am. If so, what is your solution?
20" iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

You can enter the email addresses for your other providers in Mail and have them show up in a pop-up menu when you compose new mail; then you can select which address to use as the outgoing mail address.
Go to Mail->Preferences->Accounts, and undeer the Account Information, look for the Email Address field (below the Description filed). Enter your other email addresses in there, separated by commas, then close the Preferences and Save the changes.
Now create a new email and the pop-up menu should let you choose which email address will show up on the email.

Displaying a BW query in web interface

Hello People ,
I am trying to see a BW query in a web interface . I will tell you how am I doing it . I run the transaction RRMX which opens an excel sheet and gives me a tol bar from which I open a query . Then I choose info areas from the next window and it shows me a tree structure with two nodes
1) Financial
2) Industry sectors
I expand industry sectors > retail > staff works
This takes me to two nodes
1)       operational
2)       sales infocube
I expand sales infocube and this takes me to a couple of nodes
1)       Key business driver
2)       Manager forcasted sales
3)       Productivity data source
4)       .
5)       .etc
I select key business driver and choose the CHANGE icon from the toolbar . This opens the query designer . There I have an icon in the toolbar which says display quey on web . I click that and it attempts to display the query in internet explorer .
Now the problem is the the message that appears on the browser is
Warning sign : variable OFPER for characterstic fiscal year/period has been converted to required entry .
Error sign : Error when generating data provider .
Now my question is what does this message mean ?Does this mean that the required content that I am trying to access has not been activated or there is some configurational issue ?
Regards
Deepak Singh

Hi Deepak,
It means that there is a selection screen for Fiscal period in which you have to enter the Fiscal Period. Only for the Fiscal period for which you entered the data would be displayed.
But the best way to create teh web report is to goto Web Application Designer -> Drag and drop the "Table" webitem on the right hand side -> Assign the Query to the web item. Now execute it in browser from the Web Application designer. Copy the link and use it whenver you want it.
