J2EE_Admin Unable to Add iView Permissions (Connecting BEx and Portal)

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to set up a connection between BEx Web and Portal in a Netweaver 2004s environment.

Following notes 917950, I have made the configuration using Template Installer and RSPOR_SETUP.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, there are some issues.

Diagnostics & Support Desktop Tool (note 937697) shows 6 red lights:

1. BI iView Permissions

2. BI Mastersystem

3. BI Portal System Permissions

4. URLs Prefixes Customized on Both J2EE and ABAP Side

5. User Mapping of User DDIC

6. WebAS ABAP Certificate and Login Modules Configuration

Here, let's just look at

1. BI iView permissions.

<b>Error: </b>

The BI Report-Report Interface iView does not have the necessary permissions for being called directly.

My question is

Why can't the J2EE_Admin user do the following fix (Note 983683)?

-

---

1) In the portal, follow the path

"Content Administration -> Portal Content"

"Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP -> Platform Add Ons ->

"Business Intelligence -> iViews -> BEx Launcher (transactions for RRI)"

(pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.ip.bi/iViews/com.sap.ip.bi.rritransaction).

2) From the context menu for this entry, choose "Open" -> "Permissions".

3) "Search" for the "User Group" (Caution: not the "role") "Everyone" and add this to the list of assigned authorizations.

Set the value "None" in the selection field of the "Administrator" column and set the indicator "User". Save your changes.

-

The "ADD" button is not clickable!! Is it because the J2EE_ADMIN user is not authorized to add permissions?

I hope the experts here can provide some light into the situation. Points will be awarded for helpful answers. Thank you!!

2. BI Mastersystem

it depends on the type of error, see the hint given by the disgnostics tool, if it is sothing to do with BW system alias, so you have to connect to your portal and in system configuration->systemlandscape-> right click on SAP_BW then choose system alias and add the one proposed earlier in the diagnostics tool

3. BI Portal System Permissions

add group everyone on you SAP_BW system on systemlandscape

4. URLs Prefixes Customized on Both J2EE and ABAP Side

the one declared in the portal should be the same as the one in RSPOR_T_PORTAL table. you can modify this table to include the domain name of your URL

5. User Mapping of User DDIC

open your java admin consol (http://server....:5sid00 and then click on user administration, choose ddic the in the mapping tabulation click on modify the enter j2ee_admin as a user for the mapping, it should solve this point, don't forget to save.

6. WebAS ABAP Certificate and Login Modules Configuration

for this one you have to give the error text so i can help.

if it helps give points.

Hi Lion Shaw,

By switching from IE 7 to IE 6, I have managed to solve:

1. BI iView Permissions

2. BI Portal System Permissions

I am still facing the same following problems as you. My colleague has already opened an OSS support track to SAP. I suggest you do the same.

1. BI Mastersystem

2. URLs Prefixes Customized on Both J2EE and ABAP Side

3. User Mapping of User DDIC

4. WebAS ABAP Certificate and Login Modules Configuration

Thanks to the SAP Support Team. The problem is actually due to the version of Internet Explorer.

The "Add" button is now available after I uninstall IE7 and go back to IE6.
