Web Template URL and Anonymous logon

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want users to have a URL which executes a Pre-Calc'ed web template but i do not want them to have to logon.

Is there some type of anonymous logon or can you place the USER/PASSWORD as part of the URL.

thanks

Hi,

Here's what you can do:

1) Run transaction SICF

2) Right click on the top-node: default_host

3) Select New Sub-element

4) Enter a name, e.g. NBEx (will be used in your links)

5) Select Reference to an existing service

6) Hit OK

7) On the first tab enter the user that should be used to login all of the other users, specify client, password etc. Enter a description and leave everything else to default

😎 Click on the second tab

10) Open node: default_host

11) Open node: sap

12) Open node: bw

13) Doubleclick node: BEx

14) Save the new entry

15) Change all your links to use the new service instead of the default (described below)

The default link looks something like this:

<default_host>/<b>sap/bw/BEx</b>/....(infocube name, query name etc.

You should now change the link to:

<default_host>/<b>NBEx</b>/....(infocube name, query name etc.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

You are welcome 🐵

I think I forgot one thing - you need to right click the service and select Activate link. After you done that, try to right click the new service/link and select Test link. This should give you your standard web template without a login and you can check the URL. Your links looks correct, though.

If that doesnt work, try to check the properties of the new service/link and verify that the Alias target says /default_host/sap/bw/BEx.

Hope this helps,
