XSS using ABAP UME

I used to have a XML file from AD which can be uploaded as the ume.persistence.data_source_configuration.
Now for this current portal we only want to have the connected ABAP system's users show up in XSS ,i.e. no any AD involved.
What sould be the xml file to be uploaded?
Thanks a lot!

Check the following link. This will provide information on configuring the Portal UME with ABAP as the user store.

  • How to create user in UME when using ABAP as datasource

    hi, everyone
    We are using ABAP as EP user datasource, when create user in EP, it says "Current user has user creation permissions in the UME, but cannot create users in the back-end system (data source). The original and possibly untranslated message was: "No active writeable datasource found for user creation, check your Persistence Configuration."
    But we can not create in UME neither, anyone know how to do this?
    Lee

    Hi,
    Solution would be to disconnect the UME from ABAP and reboot the portal, create the user in UME, and revert back to the UME/ABAP connection again... but this is not supported:
    Changing Data Source
    Once you have chosen this data source configuration, you cannot change to any other data source configuration. For details, see SAP Note 718383.
    Source: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/45/af3ac012d32e78e10000000a155369/frameset.htm
    Ask the autorisation team of the ABAP stack that is connected to you UME to create the user for you is the only solution.
    Cheers,

  • Can 2+ J2EE Clusters use one UME

    This might sound odd, but it's something I need for a transition. I have one J2EE cluster running Portal. It is using LDAP+DB for the UME. I have internal users stored in LDAP and a few external users stored in the DB. I need to create a new cluster that will provide access to a few web dynpro apps. This cluster will be located in a different datacenter.
    Is there any way to automatically sync the DB users in the UME between these clusters without using LDAP as the central point?
    Or perhaps have one cluster use the other one as a source for user master data?
    My other option is to create the user twice, which is something I would like to avoid.
    I know I can export the users from one and import into the other, but them I lose the password information.
    Any Ideas?

    Hi,
    As far as my knowledge goes you can setup an central ABAP UME where all the users are stored in an ABAP system. I am not sure but I think that there is an similar option for LDAP (all users created only in LDAP).
    I don't think there's the option to have a "central user storage" in your J2EE system.

  • Not authorized to use the UME config editor

    Hello Experts,
    we are running on EP7.0 (ABAP+ JAVA). we used client 100 for UME and it's working fine.
    now we have to move UME client from 100 to 120. after doning this changes i am able to login in to the portal but
    when logging on to the UME application, we get an error message of 'You are not authorized to use the UME config editor.' and 'error occurred contact your system administrator.
    Please guide
    Thanks.

    Amit,
    I guess you logged in as j2ee_admin.
    "J2ee_admin" user should be assigned to "Administrators" group.
    Assign it,logoff and login to the portal again,now try to edit UME properties.
    Let me know what happens?

  • Creating a long text using ABAP code.. fm SAVE_TEXT

    When you create an order via IW31 one of the options is to click on the text button and create a long text. I am basically trying to mimic this action from within my ABAP code.
    The text id details are as follows:
    Text Name       500000015000046  which is (5000000 + order number)
    Language        EN
    Text ID            KOPF         Order header text
    Text Object      AUFK       Order text
    If i manually create the text within the transaction i am then able to view and update it via function modules READ_TEXT and SAVE_TEXT. But if the text has not already been created READ_TEXT obviously returns nothing as it does not exist and SAVE_TEXT does not seem to created it!
    Anyone know how i would go about creating this text using ABAP code?
    Hope this make a bit of sense

  • How can i update data of DSO and Cube using ABAP??

    Hello Experts
    I have a requrement in which i need to update/ delete data from DSO and cube based on certain keys using ABAP.
    Please let me know how can i modify contets of cube or active table of DSO.
    Thanks
    Sudeep

    Hi
    I have requirement such that i need to update certain key figures in DSO after certain time.
    for eg. say record with key a is loaded to DSO and currospoding key figure was loaded with value 10
    after few days because of certain parameters changing in system i need to modify key figure value.
    currently i am doing same using 1 self transformation i.e. by loading same data again in same DSO.
    Amount of data is very huge and causing performance issues in system.
    now A is not key but i need to modify record for few combinations which apperar multiple times in DSO.
    Same DSO data is loaded into Cube regularly.
    I may need to update data after gap of few weeks as well.
    This design will be used as template and needto keep whole logic generic.
    So wring Function module can make it generic.
    Thanks

  • Read Infopackage selection from a table using ABAP

    Hello Experts,
    I have a flat file consisting of 3 columns which I want to use as selection fields for the Infopackage. Now, is it possible to load this flat file to an ODS or a master data table and then write some ABAP  in the Infopackage to read the values of the columns and populate the selection fields.
    This is what I want: The columns of the flat file are  - Company Code, Doc number, Fiscal Year
    Now, I loaded this file into a tables (around 2 million records) and then use ABAP to populate the entire file into the selection tab of the Infopackage.
    What would be the best approach for this?
    Thanks in advance
    Vivek

    Hi,
    It's possible in theory. Just one thing, too many selections in an InfoPackage may not work (I remember about 1,000 or 10,000, not very sure).
    I'd like suggest loading a range rather than so many selections. For example, say you have below documents:
    1000
    1001
    1005
    1010
    Then just load from 1000 to 1010, and create a start routine in your update rule/transformation. There you can do this:
    1. select records from the table where you store flat file, using the same selection (1000 to 1010)
    2. For every records in DATA_PACKAGE, using READ TABLE statement to check whether that record exist in the table. If not exist then simply delete it from DATA_PACKAGE
    I think that would have much better performance. Let us know if you have further questions.
    Regards,
    Frank

  • Error in using ABAP OLE wrong cell value

    Dear All..
    I'm facing a problem while using ABAP OLE..
    the problem is the ABAP OLE writes the wrong value in Excel file
    the value is 121.000 but it written in Excel file : 121
    the weird thing is .. other value of  9.000.000 written correctly in Excel File .. and also lots of other values..
    i've trace the value until it goes to the method of :
    CALL METHOD OF h_excel 'Cells' = h_zl
         EXPORTING
           #1 = i_row
           #2 = i_col.
       SET PROPERTY OF h_zl 'Value' = i_value.
       GET PROPERTY OF h_zl 'Font' = h_f.
       IF i_bold = 'X'.
         SET PROPERTY OF h_f 'Bold' = 1.
       ENDIF.
       and the values of variable i_value is still correct which is : 121.000 but after writing in excel it becomes 121
       i believe it will become faulty at the specific amount with format of XXX.000  because if I changed the value to 121.001 it displays correctly in Excel file..
    i_value is a pass value from variable ld_val with data type of is --> ld_val(20) type n.
    is this are originally bugs from the OLE ? how to solved it ?
    please advice ..

    yes it is clear, but how excel manage the passed data is unclear.
    However, to solve you can try this:
    DATA : ld_val(20).
    WRITE value1 TO ld_val CURRENCY CURR.
    REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '.' IN ld_val WITH space.
    CALL METHOD OF h_excel 'Cells' = h_zl
         EXPORTING
         #1 = i_row
         #2 = i_col.
       SET PROPERTY OF h_zl 'Value' = ld_val.
       GET PROPERTY OF h_zl 'Font' = h_f.
       IF i_bold = 'X'.
         SET PROPERTY OF h_f 'Bold' = 1.
       ENDIF.

  • Unallowed RFC-XML Tag (SOAP_EINVALDOC) - Web Service using ABAP Proxy

    Hi there
    I am trying to consume a Web Service using ABAP Proxies.  I have done the following in the system:
    I configured the HTTP and HTTPS Proxy settings. 
    I created a package with package interfaces SAI_TOOLS and SAPPINT included under the Use Access tab.
    I created the proxy classes by using the WSDL provided by the system I'm trying to interface with. 
    I created my HTTP destination RFC via SM59. 
    I configured a logical port for the proxy. 
    I developed the ABAP code for calling the proxy. 
    In the code the exception CX_AI_SYSTEM_FAULT gets raised with error message <b>"Unallowed RFC-XML Tag (SOAP_EINVALDOC)"</b> when I call the method for passing data to the destination system in the proxy class.
    I had a look at SM21 and the following message was written in the log:
    <b>"SOAP Runtime: SOAP Runtime exception: 111 occurred in method XP_READ_TAG of class CL_SOAP_XP at position 1
    SOAP Runtime: Exception message: Unallowed RFC-XML Tag (SOAP_EINVALDOC)"</b>.  I also looked at SAP Note 919886 which states that it can be dumps in the system, missing configuration or the path prefix of the RFC destination that is incorrect.  I cannot find any ST22 entries.  The trace file looks as follows:
