A major problem in BW & Portal integration User ID vs Variable Screen.

Former Member

Dear colleagues:

Hi, I do have a major problem in here concerning to BW & Portal integration.

By calling the BW from SAP Portal through a URL, it is required a User ID/Password to log on BW.

In order to avoid that, we have used the Datasource calling method. Then BW recognize the current Portal logged ID without asking for BW ID/Password.

It happens, in Datasource method it has been not possible to make the BW Variable Screen to maintain the current values when navigating from WEB menu item.

Due to this, anytime the Variable Screen is accessed, all the value is empty.

If we use the URL method, the variable screen content is memorized correctly, however, the BW asks for ID/Password to get in there from Portal.

<b>Does someone knows how to overcome that?</b>

Best regards

Waldemar

Hi Waldemar, when you say that the user and pass is required you are talking about WAS ? for example, when you call a Report ?

if the answer if yes, the problem is that you configured the integration between portal and BW for the ABAP system but WAS have its own validation.

In order to do that, you need to go to transaction SICF, double-click in the service, click on the Change Button.

In the "Logon Procedure" Tab, chose "Alternative Logon Order".

A new tab "Logon Order" will appear. Set "SSO Authentication" as the first choice of the logon procedure list.

Regards.
