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.

Hi,
take a look at this note which describes how to setup BEx Web in SAP NetWeaver 2004s. All required steps are mentioned. Additionally, this note contains a checklist to check the installation and configuration.
SAP NetWeaver 2004s: Setting Up BEx Web
SAP Note Number: [917950 |https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_bw_sys/~form/handler%7b5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d393137393530%7d]
In SAP NetWeaver 2004s, load is moved from AS-ABAP (BI-ABAP) to AS-Java (BI-Java). BI generates load on Portal (AS-Java), therefore BI users generate more load on Portal than normal Enterprise Portal users. See note 927530 for additional information about BI-Java sizing.
Which functionalities of BEx Web in SAP NetWeaver 2004s are requiring a Portal?
- New BEx Web Application Designer (Unicode, Command Wizard, ...)
- Exporting to PDF and Printing
- Integrated Planning
- Drag&Drop (Analysis Web Item)
- Web Items (Container Layout, Menu Bar, Tab Pages, Button Group, ...)
- Formatted Reporting with BEx Report Designer
- Document Integration with storage in Knowledge Management
For details, see Release Notes for Usage Type BI-Java under http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/index.htm
If you don't want to use the new BEx Web functionality, you can still use BEx Web 3.5 Runtime that is running only with Usage Type AS-ABAP.

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.

Supporting BW 3.5 and BI 7.0 Web Reports in NW04s Portal

Hi All,
I have been able to identify any documentation confirming that web reports from both BW 3.5 and BI 7.0 can be supported within the same portal.
Can someone please point me to documentation supporting this solution? Or, provide me with further understanding of this model. Points will be rewarded...
Thanks!
Dana

Hi KJ,
Yes, I have already reviewed that blog. However, that is only discussing the interoperability of the BW 3.5 and BI 7.0 frontend tools.
I'm interested in supporting/publishing both BW 3.5 and BI 7.0 Web Reports via the portal, not building the web reports.
Thanks!

Problems with activity reports on Enterprise Portal

Hello, we have problems with activity reports on Enterprise Portal. It shows only zeros since certain date.
We have this error in monitoring of Activity Reports - Status of Activity Reporting: "The database contains non-aggregated data that is more than 2 hours old".
And we found this exception in logs: "Exception during a Prepared-statement DB update"
What could be a problem? What should we do?
Thank you.

Configurarion of the Data Collection Service is done well, I think:
Activate portal activity report: true
First day of the week (e.g., Sunday or Monday): Monday
Gather iView statistics:true
Gather page statistics:true
Gather statistics for remote users of local content (global portal): true
Number of days for daily data retention: 90
Number of days for hourly data retention: 30
Number of days for monthly data retention: 730
Number of days for quarterly data retention: 1460
Number of days for weekly data retention: 365
Objects to exclude from reports
Pages for which to gather user data
Save interval (minutes): 60
What should we do then?

How to create the web based report without enterprise portal?

Hi experts,
We don't have enterprise portal but I like to create the web based version of the existing Bex reports and which option is the best to distribute this web based report using information broadcasting?
Can I use report designer for this?
Thanks in advance.
Sharat.

Hi Sharat
In BI 7.0 the Queries which u devoleped can be broad casted by using two ways .
1. Enterprise portal
2.Web Application Designer(WAD)
So you can choose any of the option, For the Option 1 you should have seperate server for the EP or else For option 2 you have to make some setting in the BI system to enable the Web reports..

Hi Ingo,
Please check the below details which i configured.
First step : transporting "par" files and epa files into portal.
imported   "com.businessobjects.pct.sap_pik.epa" file in portal
         deployed "com.businessobjects.pct.masteriview.par" in portal
         deployed "BusinessObjectsKM.par" in portal
Second step Created System Object and its parameters:
Host name of Crystal Enterprise Server : almboxi31.ho.almarai.com:8080
        Path of Crystal Enterprise Server           : /SAP

Execution of BW Reports Through Enterprise Portal

Hello Everybody,
Our BW system is version 3.5 based on WEBAS kernel 6.40 and our Enterprise Portal system is based on standalone J2EE Engine 6.40 with the version being EP 6.0 . I want that the BW reports to be executed through Enterprise Portal.Is this possible in our scenario bcoz our EP system is standalone Java based and no ABAP instance.
When i went through the installation guide, it says to set up a BW system in EP and define its WEBAS parameters.I have defined the WEBAS parameters and checked then for consistency but the connection test for WEBAS fails.
Follwing Result is displayed after testing the connection :
SAP Web AS Connection - Jan 1, 1970 11:38:11 AM
Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Check that the system object defines an SAP system
2. Validate the following parameters: wap.WAS.protocol; wap.WAS.hostname
3. Check the HTTP/S connection to the defined backend application
Results
1. The system object represents an SAP system.
2. The following parameters are valid: wap.WAS.protocol (http) ; wap.WAS.hostname (bwtest:8000)
3. HTTP/S connection failed. Make sure the protocol, host name, and user mapping are correctly defined
Kindly please help what aliases should be set here,wt else should be done to solve this problem.Iam facing this problem since many days,your help would be a gr8 support.
Thanks,
Somya

Hi Somya
u should enter follwoing in profile parameter
icm/host_name_full -> bwtest.dscl.com now if ur os is
win2000/2003 server on the bw host make a entry for this in the host file
c:\winnt(or windows)\system32\drivers\etc
edit the host file with notepad and make the following entry
ip of bwhost<tab>bwtest<tab>bwtest.dscl.com
this is necessary, now also make this entry in host file where u can run the portal from client and as well as portal server
now check following entry in the portal server for the bw system
Connector
Application Host ->bwtest.dscl.com or ip address of bw host
SAP Client-> client number for bw
SAP System Number-> bw system number
Server Port -> 32<system number of bw system> i.e 3200
System Type -> SAP_BW
Web Application Server(WAS)
WAS Host Name ---> bwtest.dscl.com :port number
above is must (FQDN)
(u can get this port number by smicm->goto->services
check the port for http service)
WAS Path ---> /sap/bw/bex
WAS Protocol ---> http
after make this setting u have to map the portal user with bw system user
if u want to test this connection u have to map the portal administrator user with bw user having sufficient authorization
if u have any doubt revert me back
