Working with SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (BI)

Hi!
I already have read SAP courses BW305 and BW310 and went through [SAP BW example |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/46/8df2e4ebf268e5e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm]
I have a SAP NetWeaver 7.0 system and SAP ERP IDES 6.0 with example data (order, materials).
Now I would like to continue to gain practical experience.
What could the next step?
Of great interest for me are:
u2022     a case study/example where I can load and analyze data from SAP ERP IDES ECC 6.0 (materials or orders) into SAP NetWeaver 7.0
u2022     a case study in area BW based consolidation
What is the prerequisite to use BW based consolidation (e.g. tcode ucpp)?
u2022     other practical topics
u2022     how can I download this [DEMO content |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/67/f3013872af2946e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm ] ?
Any helpful information/SDN blogs, etc. will be very appreciated!
Thank you very much!
Thom

Hi!
Thank you!
How can I download the DEMO content? What is the appropriate URL and SWDC-path therefore?
Other question:
I have in my SAP NetWeaver system SAP BW component but no BI CONT 7.03?
Do I need to install a appropriate add on BI CONT 7.03?
On service market place there are a lot of BI contents.
Which one do I need?
SAP NW 7.0 BI CONT ADDON 7.04
SAP BI Cont 7.03
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

Hi Amjad,
You are correct, same config, same WLC, one port is connected in 2500 WLC.
Here's the process for working SAP application
1. Client will connect to 1242/3500 wireless AP - success
2. Client will connect to AT&T Global Network Client (VPN Client) - success
3. Client will connect to SAP Logon (SAP Netweaver) - SAP GUI for Windows - success (see attached sap success logo)
Here is for not working SAP application
1. Client will connect to 1242/3500 wireless AP - success
2. Client will connect to AT&T Global Network Client (VPN Client) - success
3. Client will connect to SAP Logon (SAP Netweaver) - SAP GUI for Windows - failed (hangs on the logo), waited for 10mins but still stuck in this logo, i have to disconnect the VPN to terminate the connection to SAP

Best Practice to start with SAP NetWeaver BI (BW) to become a BI consultant

Hi there,
I have one Question. As consultant for SAP NetWeaver Portal (Development/Java), I would like to start with SAP NetWeaver BI (System Configuration, Customizing and Development with ABAP/ABAP OO) through e-learning and/or with (e)books.
A system for making practice is available.
Can someone give me a helpful guide how to start and become a BI Consultant for system administration and development within the next 12 months?
Some Questions I have noticed are:
1) The system (application) environment of BI (what is integrated in it - e. g. within the portal, there is a storage for unstructured information like documents or virtual rooms for collaboration between departments - and what does it make)
2) How does development in BI works (development environment, coding, debugging, building, deployment and test) and what is used stronger (ABAP or ABAP OO)? Here, I don't mean how to write ABAP or ABAP OO programs, only the infrastructure from development to transport to a target system
3) How is a BI system to configure as default after installation?
4) Good guides (e/books) to learn ABAP and ABAP OO (as far as possible oriented on the practive)
Of course, these are only a few Question and far from complete. Details and other important points will be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Cengiz

Hi,
1) The system (application) environment of BI (what is integrated in it - e. g. within the portal, there is a storage for unstructured information like documents or virtual rooms for collaboration between departments - and what does it make)
Document management from RSA1 transaction of BI helps to attach any unstructured documents at specific level in BI.
2) How does development in BI works (development environment, coding, debugging, building, deployment and test) and what is used stronger (ABAP or ABAP OO)? Here, I don't mean how to write ABAP or ABAP OO programs, only the infrastructure from development to transport to a target system
BI has got a separate tool and GUI to perform all the Extract, Transform and load related activities. ABAP is part of BI but you don't need much extensive ABAP learning. Basic ABAP is sufficient to write routines and extractors.
3) How is a BI system to configure as default after installation?
May be a BASIS person can help you out here about the configuration but this is not the job of BI person.
4) Good guides (e/books) to learn ABAP and ABAP OO (as far as possible oriented on the practive)
You can search for SAM Series learn ABAP in 24 days book. This book is sufficient to learn the ABAP required for working in BI.
But except ABAP you will have to completly learn the BI system to work efficiently.

How to prepare.
Go through the topics and course books mentioned in the syllabus well. U should be clear with all the basics especially EJBs and NWDI, lot many qs asked from these. WedDynpro qs are basically easy.if u dnt have books chk sdn and help site fot the topics.Qs chk your understanding of the content. They come from syllabus but are not direct and multiple choice make it difficult to answer.
How to answer the questions.
Chk every option in case of mutiple choice. Mark only those options which u are full confident and den if more than 50% confident bcoz we heard there were -ve markings although not sure how they calculated marks.
Is any sample test program is there?
There are no sample test program for this.

Best practices of integration with SAP Netweaver

Hi All,
I'm totally new to SAP Netweaver but I have a task to integrate our system with SAP ECC (R/3). We are using SAP Netweaver 6.4. The goal of integration is to provide for user list of available modules (Sales and Distribution, Human Resource, Payroll, etc) and when user selected for example Payroll we need to display list of available BAPIs. In general weare able to create Enterprise Web Service for some BAPI and consume it. But the problem is that everytime when administrator changed BAPI process (for example added new field to Business Object) we need to regenerate wsdl and change our client application. Does Netweaver provide some Web Service which can retrieve list of applications, list of BAPI processes and can retrieve meta data of some BAPI? Something like Partner Web Service interface?
We are looking for best practices of integration with SAP Netweaver. We are trying to develop something like adapter which will be able to pull data into SAP ECC system is there any generic way to develop this adapter?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Yura.

Hi Yura !!
As far as I know, this is not possible yet. Using SAP Netweaver XI/PI, although it adds value to the webservice scenario exposing BAPI functionality, it also needs to maintain a refreshed version of the BAPI definition in its repository. Depeding the complexity of the change in the BAPI structure, maybe PI may allow you to continue working without changes.
Maybe a good practice is not to make too much changes to a production BAPI, instead make a review in development environment, and once it is stable, use it in production. Other good practice is to keep older versions of BAPIs and add the changed ones as new versions to have back-compatibility

Matias.

Career Path with SAP Netweaver

Hi SDN Gurus,
This is a generic question around career guidence: What should be the typical/practical career graph for a person who intends to work around SAP Netweaver?
Initially, when I started my career, I was put into SAP XI, which I learnt with some enthusiasm and kind of became a fanatic towards the concept of ESOA and Integration. But later I found out that just learning SAP XI isn't enough, I realized that to actually be able to position SAP XI as a solution, I need to understand the whole netweaver architecture and also understand the functionalities of the Systems that will be integrated thtough Netweaver. So I wanted to have an understanding of how ERP works; kind of shifted to functional and worked in Some Retail Projects with SAP Retail, alongside XI. Now I understand, to a fair extent, the functionality of ERP and what benefits can it provide to the business. So, in short, I have XI skills, I functionally understand ERP, I know what can be technically done through ABAP (having done some of the coding myself); Now I want to leverge all these knowledge in positioning the entire Netweaver Platform as a solution to the business. For that, I need a functional understanding of the business problem solving capabilities of Netweaver and a Technical understanding of the Netweaver Architecture for enabling the same. For this, where do I start? How do I grow? I know SDN is the best place to start-off, definitely, but I am just looking for some guidence.
If any of you Gurus can provide me the guidence, that will be of much help.
Thanks in anticipation!!!
Sincere Regards,
Amitabha

JSR-168 Portlets will work on SAP NetWeaver ?

Hi,
I would like to confirm with you whether JSR-168 Portlets will work on SAP NetWeaver platform or they work on specific versions of SAP NetWeaver and I would appreciate if you could kindly confirm on these points.
As per my knowledge it supports SAP NetWeaver '05'.
Is the SAP NetWeaver '05' version available for SAP Service Marketplace?
Or do they provide any plug-in to support JSR-168 portlets.
So please provide me detailed information for the above query and that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Siva

Hi Siva,
JSR-168 will be available with the next major version of SAP NetWeaver, which should be out next year. For the time being, there's a preview of the J2EE stack that will be part of the next NW version. You can download it here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloads?rid=/library/uuid/da699d27-0b01-0010-99b0-f11458f31ef2
Note: this preview supports the JSR-168 as runtime. However, it does not include portal, so you can't actually "consume" the portlet components. However, if you have portlets available, you can at least try deployment to the web container...
Hope that helps!

Hi Siva,
I have written a weblog on this.
SAP Netweaver Portal & JSR 168 - Engaged but Not Married !!
JSR 168 is still not supported in NW'04. NW '05 is not out yet. No plugin support. However I read somewhere on converting JSR 168 compliant Portlets into SAP supported iViews. I will find and send you information.

Problem connectivity of Web Dympro with SAP Netweaver

Hi guys,
I've a problem connectivity of Web Dympro with SAP Netweaver
I installed Sap NW in a machine on the local network with IP 192.168.x.y, and I can connect to it without problems; I can use the portal and implement jobs in Visual Composer.
After installing Sap Developer Studio, I connected it successfully to the NW through the menu "Preferences->SAP j2EE engine" selecting the option "SAP J2EE is installed on remote hosts" and inserting IP address of the machine with NW (192.168.x.y) and port 3900.
Using these parameters the logon works, in fact I can see the tab "J2EE engine".
The problem is that when I try to make the deploy, Web Dynpro asks me the SDM password (that I'm sure I've inserted correctly) but it returns the following error to me:
Deployment aborted
Settings
SDM host : SVR-NW
SDM port : 50118
URL to deploy : file:/C:/DOCUME1/Michele/IMPOST1/Temp/temp59548Welcome.ear

(message ID: com.sap.sdm.serverext.servertype.inqmy.extern.EngineApplOnlineDeployerImpl.checkLoginCredentials.DMEXC)
Deployment exception : The deployment of at least one item aborted
I want to add that I use Win XP Prof, and I set the same credentials (user "Administrator" and the correct password) I used on the machine where SAP NW is installed.

Hi Michele,
There were 2 cases I explained, and the second was the one in case your SDM was blocked. Did you try the first one?
Anyways, here is something more that you can try to get it working. In case the SDM password is valid, did you log into the portal as the Administrator? If yes, then you must have been asked to change the password. If you did change the password there, login to the remoteGUI using the Master password (abcd1234) and change the password there also to the same password you use for Administrator on the Portal. Now try again.
In case the above doesnt work, start the configtool.bat from \usr\sap\J2E\JC01\j2ee\configtool and go to secure store. Here define the J2E passwords again (the same new password you gave for the Administrator in the portal), save and restart the server. I think it would work then
Hope that helps you out!
Bye,
Sameer
P.S - the main thing is that the error you got was Authentication failure using the Administrator username. Thats why you have to make sure that the password for the SDM is the same as what you gave for the Administrator login in the portal. So after you login into the remoteGUI, CHANGE the password to what you have for the Administrator(just like the one in the portal).

How to connect SAP R/3- System with SAP NetWeaver Portal (2004s)?

Hello to all,
sorry, can someone help me? How can I connect SAP R/3- System with SAP NetWeaver Portal (2004s)?
Thanks and regards,
Galyna

Hi,
In previous link contain this info
This describes how to connect an SAP R/3 system to SAP NetWeaver Portal using an iView
1)      Go to System Administration
2)      Go to System Configuration
3)      Go to Portal Content (Right Side Panel), open that folder.
4)      Right Click on Portal Content, a Panel is displayed select "System (from Template)".
5)      That will display a new view on right side, now select "SAP system using dedicated application server" from
the existing templates. (Other templates are possible - for example, load balanced or through a SAProuter connection string).
For this exercise, we'll use the simplest type.
6)      Choose next
7)      Give the System Name and System Id (which are mandatory fields) incase you want to give any brief notes
about the system then give them in the "Description" field.
8)      Open the Newly Created System.
9)      Now when you want to create a New System, you have to fill four Properties they are:
"Connector" - contains basic connectivty details
"Internet transaction Server (ITS) - if you wish to use SAPGUI for HTML and/or IACs",
"Web Application Server" - if you wish to access BSPs and/or Web Dynpro for ABAP and
"User Management".
You also need at least one "System Alias" has to be defined from the Display drop down menu.
Make sure you have set end user access in the Permissions drop down menu to all users who need to access the system
10) Select "Connector" property, now fill the required fields such as:
a)      Application Host (should be fully qualified hostname) - Give the R/3 "Application Name",
which can be obtained from the SAP Logon Pad (check what R/3 system you are using, right click on it , go to the properties,
it will open a window which has the Application Server Name.
b)      Logical System Name - Give the logical name as defined in the backend system
c)      SAP Client - Check the Client in the backend system and give the appropriate number (3 digits)
d)      SAP System ID(SID)* - Check the R/3 properties and give the check for System ID
e)      System Type* - Since we are connecting to R/3, select SAP_R3 system.
f)       System Number - This is a two digit number that you can find in the SAP Logon Pad
11) Select "Internet transaction Server (ITS)" property, now fill the required fields like
a)      ITS Description à Give some Description
b)      ITS Host Name - Same as "Application Host" of R/3 (when integrated ITS) and should be attached with the
port number of ITS Server (to get port number detailed description is given below). ex: hostname : port number
c)      ITS Path - To get the path along with the port number you have to Log on to R/3 system. Use the
Transaction Code "SICF", it opens a new window go to:
      default_host -> sap -> bc -> gui -> sap -> its -> webgui -> SAP GUI for HTML -> right click on
that and click "Test Service'. This will open a new window, on the address bar you will find the "port number", and
the path something like (/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui). Use the path after the port number.
d)      ITS Protocol - There are two protocols "http" & "https", select the appropriate protocol which is
visible when you opened "Test Service" window.
12) Select "Web Application Server" property , now fill the required fields like
a)      Web AS Description -> Give some Description
b)      Web AS Host Name - same as ITS Host Name
c)      Web AS Path - usually /sap/bc/bsp/sapd)*
Web AS Protocol - should be same as the ITS Protocol.
13)   Select "User Management" property, now fill the required fields like
a)      Authentication Ticket Type - Since we are not using SSO leave the field
empty i.e. put in select mode. (Please note that longer term you will probably want to use SSO)
b)      Logon Method - Select UIDPW.
c)      User Mapping Type - In case you have administration rights then you choose "admin" or in case you
just have user rights then choose "user", better go for "admin/user".
14)   Since all the required fields are filled appropriately now create a System Alias name, this can be done by following steps:
a) go to Display -> Select "System Aliases" give some Alias Name, let's call it "SAP_R/3"
15) Now that System is created we have to create a iView which will display the given Transaction Code.
16) Go To "Content Administration".
17) Go To "Portal Content".
18) Go to Portal Content (Right Side Panel), open that folder
19) Right Click on Portal Content, a Panel is displayed select "New" -> iView
20) Select iView template, click next
21) Select "SAP Transaction iView" from the list of templates available. Click next.
22) Give the iView name and iView ID. Incase you want to give any brief notes about the iView then give it in "Description" field. Click next
23)   Select "SAP GUI for HTML" radio button. Click next
24) Now select the system which you have create "SAP_R/3", give some Transaction Code, say SE12 (Dictionary Display). Click next and Finish.
25) Now Preview the iView
26) You will see a new Window where in SE12 Dictionary Display window is displayed.

Senthil K.

Compatibility of Informatica with SAP Netweaver BI 2004s

Hi,
Currently we are using Informatica Power Center Version 6 with SAP BW Version 3.1. So far there has been no problems in terms of connectivity or extraction. We are now looking to upgrade to SAP Netweaver BI 2004s. Would anyone be able to tell whether our existing Informatica would be compatible with the Netweaver version ? I am told that the latest Informatica is now version 7. Do we need to also upgrade that Informatica to version 7 in order for it to be compatible with SAP Netweaver BI 2004s?
Any inputs regarding this are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
