BusinessObjects Portal Integration - iView Template Missing

[Former Member]

Hello

I have installed my BusinessObjects for Portal as follows:

1. We already have BI 7.0 on SQL 2005 on BIDEMOSER SERVER.

2. Installed BusinessObjects Enterprise 3.1 , Crystal Reports 2008, SAP GUI 7.1 and SAP Integration Kit on this new server name : BODEMOSER.

3. We already have EP 7.0 on Oracle 10.2 on EPDEMOSER SERVER.

I have installed the BOE 3.1 and Integrated with the BI Server and imported the roles and all the functions are working fine between BO and BI.For Portal Integration i have transferred the masterview file from BODEMO SERVER com.businessobjects.pct.masteriview.par to the EPDEMOSER SERVER.

And it was uploaded in the EPDEMOSER SERVER System Administration--> Support --> uploaded successfully.And I have followed the SSO configuration as per te guide. And values in the Web.xml files are properly as per the guide.

After the uploading the masterview par file i could not able to view the iView template in the System.I have cleaned the cookes and all temp files.

As per the guide I have created an folde name BI_BO and SYstem name as BI_BO_DEMO.Now when I started creating a iView Template by right clicking the System name BI_BO_DEMO and provided the following parameters for each Property Category.

1. whether Single Sign On is enough between the SAP EP and SAP BI System. If yes the i could able to login with BI users in the SAP EP Portal.

2. Whether BEX Template Installer should be configured for the BO Purpose...

3. Or any other prerequisite need for the BI Connector Test

Please reply for clarify their queries

Hi Bala,

as mentioned before those are questions about standard integration between the portal and you BW system and therefore you should post them into the portal forum.

Hi,

as mentioned before - if this is about SSO between BW and the Portal then I would suggest you post it into the Portal forum.

this forum is for the SAP Integration Kit from BusinessObjects.

Hi Ingo

Still I am facing the same issue.

Test Connection with Connector

Test Details:

The test consists of the following steps:

1. Retrieve the default alias of the system

2. Check the connection to the backend application using the connector defined in this system object

Results

Retrieval of default alias successful

Connection failed. Make sure that Single Sign-On is configured correctly

Even I checked all the parameters for the connector but it is not succeding.

Hi Bala,

the issue with SSO on the connectior is not related to the SAP BusinessObjects system. I would suggest you ensure that the integration between the Portal and you SAP Backend is configured correct and that you post this into the SAP Portal forum.

Hi Ingo

As for the reply you mean that Integration Kit installation is not necessary in the EP SERVER .

I will check with other parameters and reply the forum.

Is there any other links there for the checking the BO Portal publishing

Hi Ingo

Thanks for the reply. Actually I need to know whether my distributed system Server landscape is fine. Since I have Installed BO XI 3.1 and BO XI Integration in one server and BI in another server and another server with EP. Since there are three server seperately my questions are

1. Whether Integration kit for SAP should be installed in EP Server also ( which has been installed in BO server for BI and the SSO for BI and EP STRUSTSSO2 also works fine.

2. the connector parameter and the iview template object parameter as correct as per the distributed enviorment.

When i checked with portal; admin they asked doubt what should be crystal enterprise server ( BO) and the what is the server should connector parameter should have.

Please suggest me

Hi,

1. Whether Integration kit for SAP should be installed in EP Server also ( which has been installed in BO server for BI and the SSO for BI and EP STRUSTSSO2 also works fine.

- the portal is acting as the frontend for viewing content and yes there needs to be trust between your portal and your BW system

2. the connector parameter and the iview template object parameter as correct as per the distributed enviorment.

When i checked with portal; admin they asked doubt what should be crystal enterprise server ( BO) and the what is the server should connector parameter should have.

- the Crystal Enterprise parameter do not influence the connector properties and do not lead to the point that the connector settings fail. the Crystal Enterprise parameters are only relevant when viewing SAP BusinessObjects related content.

Make sure you connector settings work even without the Crystal Enterprise parameters first.

Hi,

you mentioned 2 problems:

- the import of the template didn't work - which I would suggest you follow up with the portal admin to see any possible traces / sync issues/

- the second part is your standard portal system / connector part where the connection from the portal to your BI system fails and I would suggest you post that question into the SAP Portal forum as it is not related to the SAP BusinessObjects system.
