Graphical Business Blueprinting : Technical Requirements and Setup

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I am trying to use the Graphical Business Blueprint in Solution Manager 7.1

I followed the following steps in a bid to complete the product technical setup.

Installed the So-Co Add on using SAINT transaction. No special steps, just normal add-on installation.

Followed the steps in the setup guide for BPB (define logical ports, endpoints, services, aliases)

I am able to then load the http://hostname:port number/ebb/setup.asp web page to create a new workspace and thus create my own text file.

Then I install the BPBxxxx.exe client on my local machine, and am able to see my solution manager's name there, and log-in and validate my credentials.

However when I click on "open existing business blueprint ", it just stays as is, no dialog box nothing.

In my Solution Manager 7.1, there is 1 project , which has business processes dragged from the Business Process Repository (BPR). (This is a sandbox system, in an isolated environment, not connected to any other system, hence no logical components are defined et all. )

Now is there a trick I am missing to view the project defined in Solution Manager system?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

"Could not get context for user", What does this mean, and what are you supose to type in the contect field in the Preferences

Open the EBBConfig.txt file and copy the large numerical value and paste it in the context.

If you are getting this error though, I recommend you revisit your configuration settings. The guide has been updated since the last post.

Have you assigned the /SOCO/FABRIC_ADMIN or User role? Plz consult the guide I have linked in the thread, you will need those roles to edit project hierarchies in the BPB tool

Hi,

For me, the issue I faced was that the service user assigned to the logical port (LP_SOCO_SOLAR) did not have the authorisation role SAP_SOL_KW_ALL at time of creation of the logical port. Adding it to the service user later on made no difference.

I created the logical port LP_SOCO_SOLAR with a service user with the following authorisation roles and associated profiles:

• /SOCO/FABRIC_ADMIN

• /SOCO/FABRIC_USER

• SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_ADMIN

• SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_CONFIGURATOR

• SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_CONSUMER

• SAP_SOL_KW_ALL

• SAP_SOL_PROJ_ADMIN_ALL

• SAP_SOLAR01_ALL

• SAP_SOLAR02_ALL

I am now able to open the project list, access and edit the business blueprint for my implementation projects.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Patrick

When I log on to the BPB client it tells me "Enter a valid username and password" even though I got all the rolls assigned to my user,

Solution :

The roles /soco/fabric_admin and /soco/fabric_user along with the SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_CONSUMER roles used for the rfc generation (despite our service user having SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW) fixed the issue.

However you need to enter the same service user credentials in the creation of the logical ports after you assign those roles.

Since this is now resolved, I hope this solution is useful for those who need it.

The new guide is available here:

Thanks for Reading through!
