BW - Enable web based reporting.... icm/plugin_0

[Former Member]

With the help of "How to enable the web functionality in BW ... ", We are trying to set the parameters in RZ10. But the document is shown an example for Windows based system.

But our system is iSeries (AS/400).

the parameter icm/plugin_0: is .dll in the example

But there is no concept of .dll in iSeries.

We have a BI 7.03 NW2004s system on v5r4.

Thanks in Advance

Thanks Guys !!

The situation is that we have a ABAP only BW 7.03 as/400 system.

Now the requirement has been updated. We want to use the visual query designer and view cubes via web pages and use all the fancy drag and drop stuff.

Will we need to add a JAVA stack and the J2EE engine to the existing BW system.

Or can we do all this just with old ABAP only?

Thanks

Hi matt,

for sure, you need Java for that - but you still do NOT need these parameters with plugin etc.

You should start the installation of the J2EE instance with SAPinst ...

Hello Matthew,

Are you refering to the "how-to" guide linked below?

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/994a06ed-0c01-0010-878b-e79...

I think I used it to configure the Web reporting for BW 3.5 on iSeries a while ago. (It is a valid procedure) But sorry that I forgot the details...

icm/plugin_0 is no longer required on NW2004s, according to Tcode RZ11 - just ignore it?

or

try something like /usr/sap/SID/exe/run/saphttp? It should be linked to the saphttp program in the kernel library.

Thanks Victor

Yes, that was the source document I was working from. Does this web based reporting run in the JAVA instance on the as/400 ?

Thanks

Hello Matt,

This piece of Web Reporting should be from ABAP stack. It worked even when I had a ABAP-only BW 3.5 system on i5/OS.

Hi Matt,

Victor is completely correct !

It is ABAP and no longer necessary even since 6.20 - it was only not loaded in 6.10 ...
