Hi Swapna,

This is quite simple. Click on New and enter the following information:

System e.g TS6

Client e.g. 800

Application Server e.g. yourservername

System number e.g. 00

Username e.g. Crystal

Password e.g Password

and Language e.g. EN

Press Update and and go to the Role Import tab. Import your role and don't forget the set the checkbox Enable SAP Authentication under the Options tab when using sap authentication.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the reply.i overlooked "new" option .

Well, under role import tab which role do i need to import..for this do i need to ask basis to create one role for BO exclusively?

what i am doing here is ...we have exisitng BW development system and to this i would like to link BO..hence i have given BW dev system credentials under entitlement..

ONe more point we are using secude to access sap systems... in this case how can i fill password under entitlement tab?

Please help me!

Hi,

Usually your create a role - in our doku its called "crystal entitlement" if I'm not mistaken - and you import this role. Users assigned to that role will be mapped into the BOE system and should be able to logon to BO using their SAP credentials. Apologies but I'm not familiar with secude but I assume you need to create a user outside of secude for which you provide user/password.

No, please dont do this. Contact your basis admin and ask them to create the necessary role for you. The information necessary for the role creation are documented in the SAP IK Installation guide.

Hi,

In order to login with sap authentication you need to do role import. You need to import the role which you have been assigned so that you can login with sap credentials and do practice using sap data.

Hi,

As of now its for your knowledge gain, You ask them to create BOE CONTENT ADMIN Role. That should be good for you. Or you should be already assigned some role in bw so you import that role too along with this new role. I Hope you already have BW Standard role.

Thanks,

SK.

Hi,

you can for sure leverage existing roles from your SAP system. Make sure your user is part of the roles that you are importing.

Hello,

We are trying to integrate existing BO environment in our company with existing BW installation.

BO Environment - 3.1

BW/ECC Environment - (BW - BI 7.0 SP20, ECC 6.0)

So got the pre-requisites completed and the transports imported into both BW and ECC environments. Upon these steps we went ahead and installed the integration kit for 3.1 system.

There were no error messages, after we completed the installation went into infoview and in the authentication drop down checked to see if I can get "SAP" in there....which it did. So, I am assuming there were no issues till this point which we might have missed out.

Upon this, when I went into SAP authentication in CMC and double clicked on SAP and in the next screen clicked on "NEW" and added in the application server, system number, id and password and updated it...this automatically updated the logical system.

But when I go into the role import, it gives me the following error message....

Exception in JSP: /jsp/auth/sapsec_import_role.jsp:22:19:20: <%21:string context.........lot of other message

The only thing is we have not assigned the CRYSTAL_ENTITLEMENT role to it as we are at this point only trying to see if we can log into webi...

Can you please help me out on this.

Thanks

Dharma.
