SAP Portals FAQ: SAP Portals Interview Questions,


By Jim Stewart

SAPCOOKBOOK

Equity Press



☞ QUESTION 1

BSP Pages without Authentication

I am attempting to create a BSP page that stores user data

in SAP on my career website even though the site was not

developed in SAP Portal. As far I know, SAP needs a R3 user

id and password to access any BSP page. But how would I

implement this on a public website?

✍ A NSWER

BSP pages are served by the SAP WAS system. The only

option available to accomplish this task is requiring a logon

or a default logon for the BSP. If you create the page through

another web method, such as .net or Java, your only choicewould be to have a default logon through the respective

connector.

☞QUESTION 2

User List In Portal

Is there a way in SAP Portal 6.0 SP13 to get a list of the active

users or the users who have logged on during the day or

during some other time frame?

✍ A NSWER

This task cannot be accomplished through Portal. But you

can obtain this information by using the Solution Manager

Diagnostics and the Netweaver Administration tool.




- 3 -

☞QUESTION 3

SAP Portal 6.0 On NW04 SR1 - Implementation

I have installed SAP Portal 6.0 SP9 on NW04 SR1 ABAP +

J2EE and upgraded it to SP12. We also have ITS installed

for Web AS 620. Where is documentation available that

explains integrating SAP Portal with R/3 4.7, CRM & BW

and configuring SSO, Running SAP Transaction Codes thruPortal Web GUI and integrating Enterprise Portal UME with

Active Directory?

✍ A NSWER

To find the appropriate documentation to perform this task,

look for Rapid Installer 2.1.1 in http://service.sap.com/nw-ri.




- 4 -

☞QUESTION 4

SAP Portal Logon Page Language

Is there a way to change the logon language of the SAP Portal

6.0 (http://server/irj) from English to another language? I

have installed Spanish on the system and require the logon

page to be shown in ES too.

✍ A NSWER

To change the SAP Portal logon page language, add

the following code in SAP Portal 6.0: C:\usr\sap\SID\

DVEBMGSXX\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_

jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\portal\system\properties\prtDefault.

properties

request.mandatorylanguage=es




- 5 -

☞QUESTION 5

Custom ISR

I have created a new Scenario using QISRSCENARIO.

Subsequently, I developed the related form and interface and

activated them in R/3. I tried deploying the ISR Scenario by

creating a WebDynpro IVIEW in Enterprise Portal connecting

to WebDynpro Application ISRFORM from NAMESPACE sap.com/pcui_gp~isr, but I was unable to pass the SCENARIO

name as parameters. How would I deploy my ISR Scenario

in Enterprise Portal?

✍ A NSWER

You may deploy your ISR Scenario in Enterprise Portal bycreating a Custom ISR using the Transaction QISRSCENARIO

along with the respective Interface and Form by choosing

Adobe Interactive Form Builder (transaction SFP). Develop

a WebDynpro Iview in Enterprise Portal passing the Scenario

and Mode as Application parameters. Add this Iview to the

appropriate page. Then add the page to the appropriate role.

Assign the role to the appropriate user group, which had

certain targeted users. Test the Iview and you should see

your Form in EP.




- 6 -

☞QUESTION 6

Standard ID For Portal

We have been working on a Portal development system but

our users are unable to logon to the system because they

have forgotten their username and password. Is there any

standard ID we can use to log on and change the password?

✍ A NSWER

The standard username and password for the Portal system

is username: Administrator and password: administrator.




- 7 -

☞QUESTION 7

Steps For Deletion Of Users In EBP

Even though we try to delete the business partner

relationships and assignments, we are getting an error when

deleting the user id. What are the steps for removing users

from the EBP organization structure and deleting their user

ids?

✍ A NSWER

If you are unable to delete a user via the web transaction

for maintain user, you should go to transaction code SU01

and delete the user ID. To accomplish this find the PPOMA_

BBP and the position for that user. There should be only one position and BP. Click on the BP and delete the assignment

then save the change. Finally, click on the position and delete

the object.




- 8 -

☞QUESTION 8

WEBGUI And Design

How do I create a new design theme for WebGUI that looks

like our standard corporate layout?

✍ A NSWER

To modify the look of the WebGUI, create the theme you want

to use by copying from an existing one, e.g. 2002. To change

the colors, edit the ‘generator’ style sheet as required. Create

a new service and service file. Then, add the parameter

‘~webgui_theme <theme>’ to the service file. Call the new

service as you would with standard WebGUI, but instead,

specify your new service name.




- 9 -

☞QUESTION 9

User Deletion Not Allowed

I have been warned over and over again not to delete EBP

users, especially the ones that have carried out transactions

in EBP. But, how can we avoid paying for licenses costs

generated by Locked/Disabled users?

✍ A NSWER

For EBP users, SAP does not charge a license fee on a per

user basis. SAP charges on the basis of application cost. If

you decide to delete the user in EBP, you may do so after

archiving the transactional data of the user.




- 10 -

☞QUESTION 10

Customizing Default Web-Temple

I am attempting to customize some elements of the default

web template in SAP Netweaver 2004. However, in the Web

Application Designer I am unable to create the same web

template. Can I open the default web template in Netweaver

2004 and customize it there?

✍ A NSWER

It depends on what version of BW you are running. If you

are using BW 3.5, the default Web template is 0ADHOC.

However, if you are running an earlier version, the default

Web template is 0QUERY_TEMPLATE.

In either case, run the Web Application Designer, then choose

Web Template, Open, and on the pop-up screen type one of

the above names into the Description / Technical Name field

and click on the OK button. The template will be opened and

available for editing.

Of course, once you edit the template it should be saved

under a different name.




- 11 -

☞QUESTION 11

BSP’s Debugging

I’m trying to debug a BSP development but the debugging

is not working properly. Debugging of normal ABAP

developments works as usual. Is there any parameter on the

WAS system that is capable of modifying or deactivating the

BSP’s debugger?

✍ A NSWER

You should resolve this problem by activating the debugging

in transaction SICF and the set external breakpoint in the

code. Once this is done, you should debug your files after

setting SICF.




- 12 -

☞QUESTION 12

ESS Leave Request

In my scenario, the user requests time off and the system

notifies the user that there is insufficient quota. Nevertheless,

the user sends the request to the approver. Is there a way

to prevent the workflow from being sent to the approver if

there is insufficient quota? What is the transaction behindleave request?

✍ A NSWER

The transaction for leave requests is WS20000081. A

solution, although not the most elegant, is to put some code

in the leave request template to check the status of the errormessage. The message is stored in the business html variable

info_text, template: sapmws20000081h_150.html.




- 13 -

☞QUESTION 13

Testing J2EE Applications In Web AS

I was successful in deploying a J2EE Application that consists

of session bean, a servlet, and a jsp file onto Web AS 6.40

through Netweaver Dev Studio. My application was deployed

through Enterprise Portal’s Web AS System Information. But

how do I invoke the application/jsp file?

✍ A NSWER

If you have deployed your application to the special context,

then you can access your jsp using http://serverAdress:

serverPort/contextName/jspFolder/jspName.jsp. If you have

XI repository deployed on your server, the start page ishttp://xiserver:57700/rep/start/index.jsp. The file index.jsp

is located in the folder /start/ in “war” and the application

context name is “rep”.




- 14 -

☞QUESTION 14

How To Publish In Was 640

I am currently using Microsoft Windows IIS, but intend to

replace it with the WAS 640. How can I publish a single html

page in WAS 640? Is ITS the only way to do that?

✍ A NSWER

WAS consists of both R/3 and a J2EE engine. The J2EE

engine is a fully functional J2EE server and you can deploy

any “ear” or “war” archive to it. WAS has a “J2EE admin” tool

and you can deploy applications there.




- 15 -

☞QUESTION 15

Enterprise Portal Part Of Netweaver

Is SAP Enterprise Portal is part of Netweaver?

✍ A NSWER

Netweaver powers SAP Enterprise Portals. Netweaver is

the new 6.40 + WAS and the “new dimension” products. Web

reporting from BW 3.5 is included.




- 16 -

☞QUESTION 16

How To Call An URL Using POST Method

I plan to call an external URL using the GET Method. However,

if I attempt to call the external URL using the WS_EXECUTE

function or show_url method these parameters are visible in

the URL bar. The solution to my problem seems to be to call

the URL using the POST Method. How would I call the URLusing this method?

✍ A NSWER

To call a URL using the POST method, create a simple form

and place it in an HTML document. A truncated example of

an HTML form page would read:

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=”your url”>

<INPUT TYPE=”submit”>

</FORM>




- 17 -

☞QUESTION 17

Delete Function In SRM PO’s

I am implementing an extended classic scenario to delete

purchase order line items in SRM front end, despite the fact

that a goods receipt exists. In the backend R3 system, the

deletion is not applied since there are already subsequent

documents. How can I prevent the deletions for SRM itemsthat have subsequent documents?

✍ A NSWER

You can prevent the deletion for SRM items that have

subsequent documents by applying OSS note: 852327.




- 18 -

☞QUESTION 18

SAP SRM EBP Shopping Cart

We have a problem with users in some parts of the hierarchy

where the Purchasing Group of the person on whose behalf

the shopping is being done is not overwriting the Purchasing

Group of the person doing the shopping. How can I resolve

the problem of purchasing groups not transferring correctlywhen using the “shop on behalf of” functionality in EBP?

✍ A NSWER

You can resolve this issue by adding the product categories

to the responsibility tab for the purchasing group.




- 19 -

☞QUESTION 19

How To Download A BSP Application To

Microsoft Word

I have created a BSP application that contains html pages

and page fragments. How can I export the pages and page

fragments in the application to Microsoft Word?

✍ A NSWER

In order to download your BSP pages, select systems in the

main menu and create a spool request. Once the spool is

generated, select the save on local file option. Your BSP page

should then download to your local desktop.




- 20 -

☞QUESTION 20

ESS Address Change

I am implementing ESS on 4.6c and portals. In the Address

change function, we are not using the country field (PZ02)

from R/3. How do I remove this field from ESS?

✍ A NSWER

You could copy the service and call the new service in your

portal. Then configure the field to display invisibly in the

PBO. You could also reconfigure the country key since the

layout of each screen and the available fields are accessible

from this function.




- 21 -

☞QUESTION 21

Authorization for Portal users

How are user authorizations managed for SAP Portals, since

there are no transactions involved with BAPIs?

✍ A NSWER

User authorizations in Enterprise Portal can be accessed

at different PCD object levels as roles or they may also be

accessed through the menu path System Administration ->

Permissions -> Portal Permissions.




- 22 -

☞QUESTION 22

Implementing WAS on SAP 4.6C

We are running SAP version is 4.6C. We want to give our sales

office in Germany web access to our SAP. Can we do this

by implementing SAP WAS? What version and application

architecture should be used?

✍ A NSWER

For specified version you have to use ITS for any web

access.

If you want to use WAS, you have to upgrade to 4.7.

You need to upgrade the version to 4.7. Only 4.7 will support

the WAS builder.

If your issue to giving people in another country access to

one of your SAP system, then WAS has absolutely nothing to

do with it. You do it other ways.




- 23 -

☞QUESTION 23

SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP 9 Configuration

I am running a complete installation of Enterprise Portal

6.0 SP 9. How should I configure Enterprise Portal 6.0 to

connect with BW 3.5 system? Am I required to use Visual

Administrator and if so, how do I access it?

✍ A NSWER

You should configure Enterprise Portal to connect with BW

3.5 system by selecting menu path System Administration ->

System Configuration, from Portal. From there create a new

folder and then create a system in the new folder you just

created. Once this is complete, check the permissions on thesystem.




- 24 -

☞QUESTION 24

Hostname

When I login to the web browser using the hostname I am

unable to login. However, when I access the browser through

the IP address, I am successful. Why am I unable to access

the browser through the hostname?

✍ A NSWER

To resolve this issue, check your HOSTS file on the computer

that is running your browser.




- 25 -

☞QUESTION 25

Web Application Server And ABAP

I am designing a new interface solution with some a

monitoring product. The results are output to an XML file.

We are using BSP for embedding ABAP. The monitoring

product we run is WEB AS and the monitoring information is

obtained from BW. However, I am unable to access the WEB AS. Can I run ABAP report in WEB AS in the same fashion

that I run it in SAP GUI (se38)? How can I execute ABAP

without the BSP in WEB AS?

✍ A NSWER

If you have a predefined variant you may run ABAP report inweb AS the same way we run it in SAP GUI (se38), but you

will not have a selection screen.

You cannot execute ABAP without the BSP on WEB AS.

You may access SAP WAS using web services that becomes

accessible once a new BSP page is created. From web

services, activate transaction code SICF.

The Web Service is the method that actually talks to the WAS

via the browser.




- 26 -

☞QUESTION 26

Netweaver Enterprise Portal 6.0 And R/3

4.6c In The Same Operating System

I am using an Oracle R/3 4.6c testing system in Windows XP.

Is it possible to install Netweaver Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP9

MaxDB release in the same OS?

✍ A NSWER

You should be able to install Portal on the same server without

any problems. However, you should ensure you have enough

resources, since you cannot install Netweaver as an add-on.




- 27 -

☞QUESTION 27

Roles in Enterprise Portal

What is the process for creating roles in Enterprise Portal?

✍ A NSWER

From the Content administration menu, in one of subfolders

in the Portal Content tree, right-click on the folder and select

“New Role”.

After creating the role, you may begin filling the role with

pages by following these steps: First, open the role for

editing. Next, click on a page that you want to include in the

role from the Portal Content tree. Right click the page thenselect “Add to role”. Once these steps are completed, set the

entry point property of the items you want present in the

menu.




- 28 -

☞QUESTION 28

Portal Installation

I am attempting to install Enterprise Portal 6.2. I begin by

installing SQL Server 2000. Then I run SAPINST executable

file and select the option for Portal. Is this the proper

sequence?

✍ A NSWER

You must being by installing the Portal database. The Portal

installation guide explains this in detail.




- 30 -

☞QUESTION 30

Web Application Server and PHP

We are currently using PHP as a development tool for our web

site and are in the process of installing the SAP WAS server

in our landscape. Can we run PHP in the WAS development

process or should we only use Java and ABAP?

✍ A NSWER

PHP is not available in the WAS environment and there is no

information regarding future developments with this coding

language.




- 31 -

☞QUESTION 31

Enterprise Portal Programming Languages

What languages are available for programming in Enterprise

Portal?

✍ A NSWER

There are several development tools and programming

languages available. You could use Java through the

Netweaver development studio, Webdynpro through the

Visual Composer, BSP with ABAP (you need an ABAP based

system for this) and .NET (with the appropriate connectors).

The most common language used is Java.




- 32 -

☞QUESTION 32

Help On RFC Connection In J2EE And BIW

I am attempting to create an RFC connection for J2EE and

BIW for Enterprise Portal. While testing for the J2EE Engine

RFC, I am receiving the error “ThPlgFlush2 failed”. During the

Unicode test, I receive the error “Target system not reached”.

When I attempt to created the BIW RFC connection to EPS6.0, I receive the error “program PORTAL_BIW_PORTAL not

registered / CPI-C error CM_ALLOCATE_FAILURE_RETRY”.

How should I resolve these errors?

✍ A NSWER

The problem is that Portal should reference BW via an HTTPinterface (ICM) or via the 3200 dispatcher port, not an RFC

connection. Once you have made this correction, register

the Portal program on the BW gateway.




- 33 -

☞QUESTION 33

JCO On Windows XP

I have downloaded and successfully installed SAPJCO-

NTIA64-2.1.5 as noted in the documentation. The java

program compiles successfully, but at runtime, I receive a

message that “The application or DLL c:\jco\sapjcorfc.dll is

not a valid windows image. Please check this against yourinstallation diskette”. Does JCO runs on Microsoft Windows

XP platform?

✍ A NSWER

SAPJCO-NTIA64-2.1.5 should only be run on the Windows

2000 operating system. If you install the latest version of JCO your java program will compile successfully.




- 34 -

☞QUESTION 34

Incomplete Items In Catalog - UOM Mismatch

In EBP, UOM table T006 contains a field MSEHI (international

UOM) and ISO code. The requisite catalog contains one UOM

field. When I add an item from the requisite-shopping cart to

the EBP-shopping cart, I receive the error “Incomplete items

in catalog”. I understand that the requisite UOM is validatedagainst the ISO code of EBP. Even with standard setting,

many UOMs do not have ISO codes and the same ISO code

can exist for many UOMs. How can I validate the UOM in the

requisite against the UOM in EBP (MESEHI)?

✍ A NSWER

To easily resolve this problem, go into CUNI and create the

missing ISO codes or update ISO codes in units of measure.




- 35 -

☞QUESTION 35

How To Active HTTP Service

We have installed SAP Netweaver 2004 ABAP and a J2EE

add-in. In ICM monitor, HTTP Service is inactive. How can I

change the status from inactive to active?

✍ A NSWER

You may activate the service by setting the ICM/host_name_

full to include the domain as well as the host name. Navigate

to SICF and find the default host -> SAP -> public node. Right-

click to select activate and choose the option to activate all

sub-nodes. Conduct a note search on SICF, and then activate

the service.




- 36 -

☞QUESTION 36

ESS Landscape Installation On SAP 4.6C

I am currently running SAP 4.6C but would like to

eventually implement HR and ESS. For planning purposes,

I am developing an estimate of hardware costs but require

clarification on the relationship between ESS and SAP. Is ESS

a separate SAP component, e.g. BW APO, a trimmed downSAP installation with extra functionality? How much server

space will be needed to accommodate 1200 employees?

Is it advisable to have ITS on a separate server and if so,

how much storage space will be required? If ITS is installed

on a separate server, is a separate ITS for DEV and WAS

necessary?

✍ A NSWER ESS/MSS is not a single component but essentially an

enhancement. The system landscape with ESS consists of

the SAP Enterprise Portal loaded with the ESS/MSS business

packages, hooked to an ITS (which is required with SAP 4.6C

rather than a WAS) and connected to your SAP systems.

Using this enhancement will involve some development in

your R/3 system to turn on the ESS functionality within HR.

With regard to hardware requirements I recommend a DEV

and PRD Portal landscape. The DEV portal should have

the Portal and ITS running on the same server. The PRD

landscape with require at least one Enterprise Portal and

one ITS server. With approximately 1200 users, you mayneed more than one Enterprise Portal server.




- 38 -

☞QUESTION 38

SAP* Password For EP

How would I reset the password of SAP* and DDIC user from

the Oracle backend without an installation login?

✍ A NSWER

In order to reset the password of SAP*, you should delete the

SAP* account from the Oracle level and then login as SAP*/

pass using the following code in SQL*Plus:

DELETE FROM SAPR3.USR02 WHERE MANDT=’<CLIENT>’

AND BNAME=’SAP*’

Finally, insert the client number in the <CLIENT> tag for the

SAP* account you are resetting.




- 39 -

☞QUESTION 39

How To Create Multiple Virtual IIS

Instances In Its 6.20

We are running ITS version 6.20 with patch level 11 on a

Dual-host, with Agate separated from Wgate with a firewall

between them. Is it possible to create multiple virtual IIS

instances in IIS using the same port?

✍ A NSWER

You cannot run multiple IIS instance on the same port. Each

time you create a new IIS instance, you must create a new

IIS with its own unique port number. When you install the

new ITS instance, a pick list is displayed allowing you to pick

what web site you want to use for the new ITS instance. If the

web site you select is already used by another IIS instance, it

will not allow you to proceed until you select a web site that

is not already used by an ITS instance. If you create multiple

IIS web sites using the same port number you can only run

one at a time.




- 40 -

☞QUESTION 40

Email problems with Enterprise Portal 6.0

(Netweaver) SP9 and Exchange Server

We are running EP6 Netweaver SP9 for Portal and KM on a

Windows 2000 Server. We have configured a system for email

connectivity by collaborating with our Exchange 2000 Mail

Server. However we are unable to send email because there

is no connectivity with the SAP system. What could be the

cause of this problem?

✍ A NSWER

If you have installed antivirus software, make sure it is not

blocking ports from sending email. Once that is done, you

should be able to telnet to the mail server.




- 42 -

☞QUESTION 42

Open Catalogue Interface Availability

Is Open Catalogue Interface available as part of the web

application server or is it a part of the SAP 4.7 modules like

☞QUESTION 43

Extensions: Tableview

I am implementing IS HTMLB Tableview to display the data

from an internal table. When I debug my BSP in the browser

the table does not appear at all, even though it contains data.

How can I get the BSP Extension to display from tables or

multi-select lists?

✍ A NSWER

To get the BSP Extension to display from tables go to

transaction code SE80 and click “tag browser”. Open the

folder, BSP extensions, then Transportable, then HTMLB.

Double-click on Tableview and the documentation willappear in a separate window. There are descriptions of all

of the attributes, along with examples. There are only two

required attributes: “id” and “table”. There is also a working

example of a BSP application SBSPEXT_HTMLB, page

tableView.bsp.

☞QUESTION 44

SAP WAS And SOAP

I want to code remote calls to BAPI functions from a web

application that is not running in the WAS. Where can I find

existing SOAP-Interfaces for BAPIs?

✍ A NSWER

You may call SAP-distributed BAPIs using SOAP by

implementing .Net web service running in IIS. The export

parameters come back properly in SOAP but tables do not

appear to return at all. You could also use .Net code using .Net

Connector, version 1. Import, export and table parameters

are easy to implement since it uses a standard call sequencefor both synchronous and asynchronous modes.

☞QUESTION 45

MSS: Class Java.lang.NullPointerException

I am implementing Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP2 PL 3 and KM

along with a BP of Manager Self Service 6.0. When I attempt

to access the Employee Documents Iview, the following

message appears: class java.lang.NullPointerException java.

lang.NullPointerException. Why am I receiving this errormessage?

✍ A NSWER

Missing HR data in the system backend generally causes this

error. You should fix this problem by confirming that all of

the information types required by the Iview are present.

☞QUESTION 46

Difference Between WAS, Netweaver and

Enterprise

What is the difference between WAS, Netweaver and

Enterprise and what is the function of each system?

✍ A NSWER

Netweaver is a term that encompasses all the technical

aspects of SAP, including Portals, WAS and BI. Enterprise

is R3 running on a Netweaver platform. WAS is the Basis

system.




- 47 -

☞QUESTION 47

Order Of Implementing SPs

We are setting up Netweaver 4 Enterprise Portal 6.0. We have

installed patches for the J2EE engine from SP4 and SP8.

Our next step should be to apply SP7 directly to SP3. Is it

necessary to apply SP4, SP5 and SP6 before applying SP7

directly on SP3?

✍ A NSWER

No. You may install SP7 directly on top of SP3. Currently SP9

is available and you may install that patch onto SP3 instead

of SP7.

☞QUESTION 48

Installation Sequence For Enterprise Portal

6.O

Do I need to install SAP WAS 640 (SAP Netweaver) before

installing Enterprise Portal and MySQL 2000?

✍ A NSWER

You should begin by installing your database system, so

install My SQL first. Next install your Java environment, then

J2EE followed by the Portal system. If you are implementing

Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP9, you should install SAP J2EE 6.4

server in the same install as the Portal.

☞QUESTION 49

Enterprise Portal 6.0 On Linux

Can Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP2 be installed on Linux and

Oracle 8.1.7? Are there any versions of Portals that are

supported with Linux and Oracle?

☞QUESTION 50

Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP2 Installation

Problem

I am running Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP2 on Windows 2000

with a MS SQL 8.0 database. During installation when post

processing of SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 begins, the following

error occurs: INFO 2004-10-28 20:04:08 ‘c:\jdk1.3.1_11/bin/

java.exe -classpath “C:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/

returned with ‘0’. Then there is a secondary message that

states: “Check J2EE connection. Waiting for 30 seconds”.

What would cause this type of error?

✍ A NSWER

You are experiencing a resource problem caused by the J2EE

engine load. It is causing the CM component to timeout.

Allocating or installing additional RAM will allow you to

complete the installation.

☞QUESTION 51

Renaming User Ids In Enterprise Business

Portal

We are currently working with approximately 6000 users

in Enterprise Business Portal 3.5 and this amount is likely

to double in the future. We have a problem with redundant

user ids and plan to implement a new naming convention to

eliminate this problem. Is it possible to rename the user ids

via SU01?

✍ A NSWER

Function SU01 allows you to copy your users with this

methodology:

su01 copy user1 -> user2

bbp_users_gen

specify org plan

You could also write a BDC to automate this process. However,if your WFs rely upon the naming of your users (perhaps by

means of custom tables) you will need to account for this

during the automation process.




- 52 -

☞QUESTION 52

Role Of The Web In SAP

What is the role of the web in SAP modules? And how much

previous knowledge of the web is required to learn SAP?

✍ A NSWER

SAP has, in recent years, begun to implement a clear

internet/web strategy. They currently use a number of

internet programming technologies, such as JAVA, J2EE,

.Net, ABAP, BHMTL and HTML, to mention a few. Essentially

these technologies are their new delivery mechanism for

chaining together information, process and business flow,

and reporting.

The amount of previous web knowledge needed to learn

SAP depends upon what you plan on learning. From a user

perspective, it is not difficult to learn SAP using the SAPGUI.

From a technical or functional perspective, there is a lot to

learn and absorb.

SAP overall is a complex tool and it requires such a change in

the mindset and way of thinking you are used to with other

systems and applications that it could easily take a year or

more before you become comfortable with SAP, and even

then with only the area that you focus on. It would be a huge

undertaking to learn every aspect of SAP.

☞QUESTION 53

Universal Work List In Portal

We want to develop a system that hosts around 5000 ESS

users on SAP Portal and approximately 200 MSS users with

SAP R/3 user ids. When an employee on ESS performs an

activity that requires supervisor approval, we want the ESS

users to be linked to SAP R/3 system by means of their personnel number in HR master. Is it possible to create a

universal work list in portal that allows ESS users to access

their SAP R/3 work item on the portal?

✍ A NSWER

There is a component called Webflow that is a web-basedSAP inbox. From this system activate and publish the BWSP

service. You could also implement SAP Web Studio to

publish.




- 54 -

☞QUESTION 54

Performance ITS Vs. SAP GUI In WAN

Has any performance measuring been conducted to determine

whether ITS or SAP GUI produces less traffic in Wide Area

Network communication? Is there any SAP documentation

on this subject?

✍ A NSWER

SAP has published some statistics on the ITS and SAP GUI

performance in Wide Area Networks at the website: http://

service.sap.com/sizing. From this page, select > Media

Library > Literature > Front end Network Requirements

for SAP Solutions. They have determined that ITS producesmore bandwidth than SAP GUI.

☞QUESTION 55

How To Connect R/3 To Enterprise Portal

And Run Transactions

I am trying to connect Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP7 to R/3 system

4.7 200 Basis 6.20. How do I run transactions in Enterprise

Portal to my R/3 system?

✍ A NSWER

In order to run transactions in Enterprise Portal to R/3, you

must begin by creating an Iview. Then depending on your

requirements, select the SAP GUI for windows or select

WEB GUI. Next, add this Iview to a page, then add the page

to a role. Finally assign the role to a user.




- 56 -

☞QUESTION 56

User Mapping

I have installed MSS Business Pack on Enterprise Portal

6.0 SP2. I now need to map my MSS user to a system via

Personalize. I have created a system + alias for our R/3

backend system but this entry does not display when I try to

map a user. Where are the systems defined?

✍ A NSWER In order to define the system, you must modify a property

at the system object “User Mapping Type”. From this

property change the selection to “admin,user”.




- 57 -

☞QUESTION 57

SRM / EBP Cookbooks

What are cookbooks and how may I access these?

The cookbook is a step-by-step guide to installation and

configuration of Enterprise Business Portal. You may access

cookbooks at the website http://service.sap.com/srm. From

this location browse until you find Mysap SRM ->Mysap SRM

In Detail -> Enterprise Buyer -> Documentation. There is a

☞QUESTION 58

Ending A WAS Session

Is there a function module that can be called to end a WAS

Session when a User tries to Logoff from a particular BSP

Application? The intention is to force the User to re-enter

his password and not be allowed automatic entry to the

particular System or Application. Any advice would beappreciated.

✍ A NSWER

Try using SAP session command logoff as a variable in

the URL from the point you want to log off the user. If you

are using domain relaxing and want to forcefully end theuser session use the function th_user_info with a specific

opcode.




- 59 -

☞QUESTION 59

Web To SAP Connections

We are working to develop transactions from the web that

communicate with SAP. We would prefer to implement Java

running IIS Windows 2003 server with JSP. Or we would

be willing to explore the WAS/J2EE technology or even

Business Connector. What is the best way to facilitate thisconnection?

✍ A NSWER

A simple option would be to use a free J2EE application

server, as long as you ensure that it is certified to the latest

specification. You could then run a JCA connector betweenthe environments.

☞QUESTION 60

Recipient Field In Create Shopping Cart

I have to change the recipient field in the Create Shopping

Cart screen to a free form field. I have modified the HTML

template to remove the search help and it now looks like

a free form field. However, whatever entry we make in this

field is not captured in the background and refreshed backto the shopping cart creator name or username. How can I

resolve this error?

✍ A NSWER

The problem is that the goods recipient is an attribute of a

user in the organizational structure, attribute= REQUESTER. All the allowed goods recipients should be defined in this

organizational structure. If this attribute is not found, the

system automatically takes the user as the goods recipients.

You can resolve this error by defining the attribute and

possible entries. Or you could make this one field invisible

and declare a totally new customer field. Or try to find a BADI

that clears the contents of this field if it is the initial value.

☞QUESTION 63

Assigning Iviews To A New User

I am running Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP2. I have successfully

connected the BW system and a series of Iviews displaying

BW reports. Now I am assigning the Iviews to a “new user”.

The Iviews were logged on as a super administrator, using

the functionality under Content Administration -> PortalContent. I assigned the iViews to a new page and then

assigned the new page to a role which I created. I then

assigned the role to the new user, using functionality under

outlined under User Administration -> Roles ->. From there I

searched for the relevant user and selected the edit function.

However, when I open a portal session logged on as the new

user, I am not able to access the Iviews I assigned. Is thereanother role I should assign to the new user or have I missed

out an important step?

✍ A NSWER

You should also set the sort priority value in the property

list of the role or workset. Typically it is set to 100.0 but

this should be amended to an alternative number (e.g. 99.0,

100.1). The number you choose will specify whether the

navigation tab will be towards the left or right hand side of

page. You may find documentation for this functionality on

the SAP Help Portal, in the Administration Guide under the

navigation node category. The title of the page is “Defining

the Sort Sequence of the Entry Points”.

Best Upgrade From Enterprise Portal 5.0

SP5

We are currently on Enterprise Portal SP5 and our suppliers

are talking about upgrading us to Enterprise Portal 5.0 SP6,

but would we be better going to Enterprise Portal 6.0?

✍ A NSWER

There is no upgrade from Enterprise Portal 5.0 to Enterprise

SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 And CRM 4.0

I am seeking advice about SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 and CRM.

I have installed the CRM 4.0 server and the Enterprise Portal

6.0 server (Portal, CM/Collab/TREX). I am now working to

install the portals side of CRM 4.0. I have installed the CRM

IC Web client, can open the webclient but am unsure wherethe IC web client configuration is performed?

How I can access CRM through the portals? Should I

install the ITS or the Java GUI? Where is the best place to

find installation and configuration guides for CRM through

portals?

✍ A NSWER

You should access your CRM application through the

Enterprise Portal 6.0 CRM Business Packages. These are

iViews which are able to login to your CRM system. The

Master Guide for CRM 4.0 contain valuable information

on completing this process. You should also review the

Netweaver 2004 Master Guide which is located in the

☞QUESTION 66

Disable SAP*

I am running Enterprise Portal 6.0, SP2, patch 3, hotfix

6. When I try to disable sap* user, I receive the following

error message: “To disable the SAP* user, enter a vaild

superuser: com.sap.security.api.AuthenticationFailedExce

ption: PASSWORD_EXPIRED”. I have altered the sapnum. properties file to read: “ume.superadmin.activated=false”.

How should I resolve this issue?

✍ A NSWER

When you disable the SAP* user, you must enter the user

ID and password of another superuser in the portal. This isa mechanism to prevent you from disabling the SAP* user,

without having another superuser with which to log on to the

portal. To disable the SAP* user user, follow these steps:

1. In the Enterprise Portal, choose System Administration

-> System Configuration -> UM Configuration.

2. From the Data Sources tab, deselect Enable SAP* User.

3. Enter the user ID and password of a different superuser.

4. Save your changes.

☞QUESTION 67

Se80 (Object Navigator) Has Blank Panel

I updated my computer with the latest Microsoft Office and

Internet Explorer patches. When I started my system the

following morning, SE80 no longer worked and the upper

left panel where the program is selected is completely blank.

The lower left panel contains the object list within that program, and the right panel can be chosen in several ways,

but the only way I know to enter something for the lower left

panel is to type it into the upper right. And there is nothing

there to type into now. How can I fix this problem?

✍ A NSWER

It is the new patches that are the cause of your problems.

Uninstall all of the patches you recently installed. It is

common during these installations that the MSHTML.DLL is

removed. Browse the Microsoft website to find a replacement

version of this DLL file. Evaluate the versions available and

select the file compatible with your operating system.

☞QUESTION 68

ESS Photo Help

What is the best way to implement a photograph in ESS?

✍ A NSWER

Photographs are stored in a content server and retrieved

in R/3 (@PA30). ESS calls the ITS template relevant for the

photo and the template then retrieves the image. These

photographs are retrieved through the Archivelink and, as

for the content server, you may use any SAP certified content

server or SAP content server to house the images.

☞QUESTION 69

Sales Order Entry Screen Searchable Flow

Files

I am planning a sales order entry screen using flow files.

My user should be able to search for materials or products

they need. However, search content does not appear to be

compatible with flow files. Is there any method available that

will allow users to search for materials and pass back the

selected material to the correct order line item on the sales

order screen?

✍ A NSWER

One method to accomplish this is by implementing the “field-

set” function to create the internal table in ABAP. Once the

table is created, you should use “field-transport” to transport

the drop down content to the web. If one drop down is

linked to another then you must use Javascript and code

to build the drop down list in “PAI of the screen”. There is

documentation and sample code available on the “field-set”

function at http://help.sap.com.

☞QUESTION 70

Enterprise Portal 6.0 On BW Server

I would like to install SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 on my BW

✍ A NSWER

You can install Enterprise Portal 6.0 on the same box with

BW but SAP does not recommend this. Both systems are

extremely resource intensive, so you may experience

performance issues if you decide to go this route.

☞QUESTION 73

Enterprise Portal WAS And Java Applications

I am seeking clarification regarding some components of

SAP Enterprise Portal. First, when is it necessary to install

WAS and does SAP Enterprise Portal run Java applications?

Is J2EE always required or may I use a different engine?

✍ A NSWER

The SAP J2EE Engine is the runtime engine that runs

Enterprise Portal runs. It is also one of two runtime engines

that drive SAP WAS. The other one is the ABAP System.

You are only required to install and run J2EE if you host

Enterprise Portal 6.0 With regard the SAP running Javaapplications, most Iviews are Java applications. Your non-

Iview Java programs can run on the J2EE Engine, however,

y can also deploy other Java applications on top of the J2EE

pressing the ‘Apply’ button to begin the application process.

We are running ITS build 46D 4640.4000.36.7055. We have

programmed different Internet Explorer configurations,

versions and patches without resolution. If some users can

run the function successfully correctly, it seems that the

problem may be pc-based. Has anyone encountered a similar
