Working in PI with SAP Front end

Hi
Thanks for all the links and documents regarding PI. I'm learning PI through SAP Front End. Needed to know if there is a possibility that I write my own Java code and then convert them to web services or enterprise services. is this possible using SAP front end? or PI? Should I be using CE to do the coding and conversion to web services or PI is enough
Thanks & Regards
Vijay

You require a NWDS for coding and deploying the same into Web AS JAVA engine.
The architecture of WAS should support if you have to expose your java service as a webservice.
You might need to implement certain Web AS webservice API so that it will expose that java service as webservice.

The installation of SAP Front-End components failed with 95 errors.

I tried to install SAP GUI 7.20 on Windows Vista X64. And I got this error message:
The installation of SAP Front-End components failed with 95 errors.
This 7.20 version used to run on this operating system fine. I reinstalled the OS, and now I got this.

Hi,
I suppose you reinstalled the same OS.
Did you install the JSDK (java) afterwards. As you must be aware Java is a pre-requisite for the SAP Frontend.
Also make sure you have set the environment variables after installing java.
Further documentation, the SAP installation manual can be found in the u201CDOCUu201D folder of the installation software.

Sandip,
The forum that you have posted your question in is for questions related to the SAP Business One Integration for SAP NetWeaver. Your question is SDK related and should be posted in the SAP Business One SDK Discussion forum.
That being said ... here are the answers to your questions ...
1. As far as the SDK goes, it does not provide an IDE. Since the API's are COM, then you can use any IDE that can communicate with COM objects such as VB6, VB.Net, C#, C++, etc.
2. As stated above, the SDK does not provide an IDE. You would need to purchase one or you can get a free one from Microsoft on there website such as Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition.
3. The Screen Painter is an SAP tool (independant of any IDE) that allows you to graphically create new SAP Business One looking forms and then save them to an XML format. You would then in your code use the LoadBatchActions method to load your XML form. Documentation on the Screen Painter and the LoadBatchActions method is in the SAP Business One SDK Help Center Documentation that comes with the SDK as well as there is eLearning available for the SDK on this portal as well as the SAP PartnerEdge Portal if you are an SAP Business One partner.
4. If you are an SAP Business One partner and have an "S" number, you can log into the SAP PartnerEdge Portal and then under SAP Business One and "Installations & Updates" you can download the SAP Business One product as the SDK installation is part of the overall installation package. If you are not a partner you would need to contact your local SAP Business One sales representative.
Other tools available that work with the SAP Business One SDK are located on the SDN Portal under this link ...

SAP Front End

Hi Gurus,
I have to install SAP front end on 600 PCs. How can I automate it instead of installing it physically? Is there any way of using Solution Manager. Please be informed it is a global implementation as well.
Regards, Nabi.

Good morning, Nabi - There are two possibilities, depending on your existing infrastructure. The first option is provided by SAP. You can install what is known as a SAPGui Installation Server. You then apply patches and configure installation packages on this server. It also has a distribution mechanism in the form of an Installation Service and a Distribution Service. These are useful because they can allow non-administrators to still update the SAPGui on a desktop. You can then create a log-on script on the PC to check to see if the SAPGui is installed, and if so if it is up to date. If it is not, the software will be installed/patched. This is an option if you do not have any other software distribution tools in your enterprise.
The option that we use is to utilize Microsoft System Management Server (now being replaced/renamed to System Center Configuration Manager 2007) to launch the setup command line on each PC. This provides more control for the distribution and you can then also do more reporting on the PCs that have the package installed.
Please let me know if you need additional information. I provided an answer to a similiar question in the SAPGui Forum also.

Blair Towe

How to implement Oracle user/role security with Access front end?

Hi,
We have successfully migrated our Access database tables to Oracle 10g using SQL developer. We've recreated all the users and roles(i.e., access groups) in Oracle and granted rights to tables.
In the Access front end database, in the Database window we have saved linked Oracle tables which replaced the Access tables. The forms, reports, queries run fine with the linked Oracle tables. All the linked table use one ODBC DSN to the Oracle database with the same Oracle user id.
We need to be able to authenticate users into the Oracle database and RE-link the tables based on their own unique user id. By during so we can allow users to use the Oracle standard user id/role and system privileges to control select, update, ect. rights to the database.
I've been able to use the VB code within Access to logon into the database with a unique id, but I have not been able to find out how to RE-link the tables to the unique user id using VB. There should be some way to relink tables dynamically, based on users login into the Access front end.
I don't know a great deal about Access projects, but I do know with SQL server allows login into your Access project and link tables dynamically.
Can someone give me some assistance or point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Larry

We had one of our programmers here come up with a VB code solution for re-linking table within Access. However the relinking takes 3-4 minutes for 100+ tables.
In an effort to help you understand the situation better, I will attempt to elaborate on the problem:
We have an Access 2003 application which currently has a front end using Access(forms, reports, queries, & VB code) and a MS Access 2003 backend.
We have migrated the backend tables to Oracle. However, we still have a need to maintain the front end in Access, since we have over 60 forms, 40 reports, 200+ queries in Access. Its easy to understand, we have a significant investment in the front end(Obviously, the plan is to migrate the front end also at some future date).
In order to utilized the existing front end, we have to validate and modify the current front end connections to the new Oracle backend. One of the features of Access is that you can "link" tables and save the link for runtime. Each Access table can have its own link which is a separate ODBC/JET connection. As such, each separate link has its own userid/database information.
The other issue with using the Access front-end is that Access utilizes a workgroup file to implement user and group security. The workgroup file contains all the users and which groups the users belong to in Access. Then within Access, you allow users access to object(tables, queries, ect) by their userid and or group. When users open an Access database with Access security enabled, they are required to log into Access. The login is authenticated by the workgroup file. Once, logged into Access, users have rights to Access objects based on their rights granted to their userid and groups they belong. The problem here is that when you remove the linked Access tables and replace them with linked Oracle tables, Access has knowledge about Oracle table rights granted to users; nor would you expect it to.
The dilema is the disconnect between Access and the fact Oracle utilizes a similar but much more sophisticated security model. It creates users and roles(which are similar to Access groups), and again this is independent of Access security.
Our solution was to still use the Access workgroup file security along with the Oracle security model. By using the Access userid and then creating a similar Oracle userid with similar table rights granted in Access, you could apply security within Access and also with the Oracle database.
For example, a user BOB logs into Access via the workgroup file, using VB code, Access then establishes a Oracle connection logining into Oracle using the same unique userid BOB into Oracle.
After connecting and validating user BOB into Oracle, then the Access tables are relinked to Oracle using the user BOB userid and table rights.
This Oracle userid has been granted table rights specific for this userid.This allows the user BOB to use the Access application and still be authenticated into the Oracle database.
The problem with this solution is that the relinking of the saved Access tables takes 3-7 minutes for about 100+ tables. This is not acceptable for users each time they log into the application.
Our current alternative is to use one Oracle userid to login each user, and use Access form restrictions/security to allow/prevent users from updating/viewing data. Obviously, this is not the optimal solution in respect to security, but it at least allows us to control access to the data(via the forms) by using one logon required for each user, and quick startup time for the application.
I understand SQL server does a better job in integration, but we use Oracle which is what I am trying to work with.

HANA interfacing with Microsoft front end

Hi,
We have a requirement where the front end will be developed with SQL server reporting services(SSRS) via ODBC and some UI parts directly connecting to native HANA via .NET web server.
So the architecture is:
1. HANA Native - ODBC - SSRS
2. HANA Native - .NET Web Services - UI
Connectivity and possible limitations are still a matter of concern.
If anyone has worked on a similar scenario or has some information/useful links, please share it across.
Thanks,
Shyam

ADF 3-tiered with Swing front-end is it possible?

Hi,
I'm beginning to use Oracle ADF and JDeveloper 10.1.3.
My intention is to develop a 3-tiered application. In the persistence tier an Oracle database will be used, in the business tier I would like to use Oracle ADF, and in the front-end Swing with screens for edit and querying data. The Swing front-end will not have direct access to the database, and in the future the business tier could be used by a Web front-end with Servlets and JSPs.
Which benefits I can get with Oracle ADF for this type of application?
What ADF components can be used in the business tier?
How can it deliver and receive data from the Swing front-end (EJB, Web Service, another approach)?
Somebody knows some tutorial about ADF/Swing applications?
Thank´s.

I've been working on a soon-to-go-production 3-tier ADF Swing project for a while.
I would say it is possible but not easy. A lot of effort in my project has gone into workarounds for various things that do not work as expected (and not as in 2-tier mode), refresh-issues, deployment issues and other. We have found workarounds for most of them and JDev 10.1.3 is a lot better for ADF Swing then earlier releases.
Scalability is still an unsolved issue for us as a lot of functionality you'd expect in a rich gui is lost when using "batch mode" which probably scales better then "immediate".

Coldfusion Websockets server with Angular front-end?

Anyone here have any success with a CF server running WebSockets and an AngularJS front-end? I'm having some trouble and hoping for help.
Just one channel on the server:
     THIS.wschannels = [{name="test1"}];
As a note, this Application.cfc is in a subdirectory (api/rest) where we're running our taffy rest backend. Should it be moved to the top lever, or does it matter?
On the front end I've tried a few things along these lines:
    var ws = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:8575/api/rest");
    ws.onopen = function(){
        console.log("Socket has been opened!");
    ws.onmessage = function(message) {
        listener(JSON.parse(message.data));
    function listener(data) {
      var messageObj = data;
      console.log("Received data from websocket: ", messageObj);
$scope.send = function() {
      ws.send("Hello WebSockets!");
I'm running to local angular clients on different ports and runnign the send from one. Never see a response anywhere. Suggestions?
Any leads appreciated.

BO SSO with the SAP front end tool

Hi ,
I am trying to go with SSO in the BO 3.0 version but i an facing an error when i am trying to create the ticket .... i am pasting the error and the architecture of the process kindly help me in this issue....
Please can we have SSO setup in the following envioronments and applications
BO Systems : B0S/B0D/B0Q/B0P
EP Systems: S0E/D0E/Q0E/P0E
Applications: InfoViewApp /CmcApp
This is required for complete implementation of Business Objects security model because SAP users do not have passwords
Problem Description: (Precise description of problem)
Setup SSO in the following environments and applications :
BO Systems : B0S/B0D/B0Q/B0P
EP Systems: S0E/D0E/Q0E/P0E
Applications: InfoViewApp /CmcApp
This is required for complete implementation of Business Objects security model because SAP users do not have passwords
Analysis:
SAP side u2013 items already complete:
- on the SAP side the portal needs to generate tickets for the BI system
- the BI system needs to trust the Portal
- the BI system needs to accept SSO tickets
- all the machines need to be in the same domain
Installation of the complete items can be confirmed by the presents of portal login ticket at these addresses :
Several issues needs to be checked in the Business Objects environment:
- the SAP authentication needs to be configured for the SAP system
- the web.xml for InfoView needs to use secSAPR3 as default setting for the authentication
- the default system in the SAP authentication options should be configured to use your SAP BI system
- the Business Objects system needs to be in the same domain
Analysis of authorization requirements (Mandatory for programs and tables):
Solution: (Final solution)
To complete the SSO implementation in the SAP BO environment, these issues should be completed:
1): Test that the SAP portals actually accepts portal login tickets:
https://epproduction-app.statoil.no/irj/portal
https://epquality-app.statoil.no/irj/portal
https://epdevelopment-app.statoil.no/irj/portal
https://epsandbox-app.statoil.no:56201/irj/portal
2): Implement and test the following items:
- the SAP authentication needs to be configured for the SAP system
- the web.xml for InfoView needs to use secSAPR3 as default setting for the authentication
- the default system in the SAP authentication options should be configured to use your SAP BI system
- the Business Objects system needs to be in the same domain
3): Check that fully qualified URLu2019s for BO systems calls the sso login:
- This also should be tested and confirmed working by the basis team (EDB) before the task is completed
- Comparison with production setup today is required
- Fully operational SSO setup in Prod can be found at: http://boxi.statoil.no:8080/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp
Tomcat implementation
SSO setup implicates these reconfiguration elements:
-     Update of web.xml for InfoViewApp and CmcApp in Tomcat :
This is the correct web.xml setup for SSO (gathered from prod env.):

Hi Sanjeev,
It is kind of very hard to go through all the details you have written.
You have BO 3.0 and SAP in Back End.
First you have to install BOBJ
Then install Integration Kit.
Then you have to take some steps in SAP BI side such as creating RFC.
Then you will import your roles into BOBJ by going to CMC.
After that one you will be able to attain SSO.
Have you done all? If yes then exactly what error or issue you are getting? Be brief please.
When you mention any problem mention following.
What version you have?
What is in the back end?
What service Pack and Fix Pack you installed?
What environment you have?
What error you are getting and on which step?

Bashir Awan

Documentation on the Screen Painter and the LoadBatchActions method is in the SAP Business One SDK Help Center Documentation that comes with the SDK as well as there is eLearning available for the SDK on this portal as well as the SAP PartnerEdge Portal if you are an SAP Business One partner.
4. If you are an SAP Business One partner and have an "S" number, you can log into the SAP PartnerEdge Portal and then under SAP Business One and "Installations & Updates" you can download the SAP Business One product as the SDK installation is part of the overall installation package. If you are not a partner you would need to contact your local SAP Business One sales representative.
Other tools available that work with the SAP Business One SDK are located on the SDN Portal under this link ...
