Relation between Portal User and ABAP user

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have installed the SAP Netweaver 2004s with ABAP and JAVA environment.

I have the portal up and running on.

Now when i see the users form portal i can see both the UME and ABAP users.

My questions are as follows:

a)Are this ABAP users shown in portal same as SAP R/3 user.

b)Which property of the ABAP users shown in portal mapped to R/3 user.

c)What is the query to see all the users in the Portal database for ABAP + JAVA system

Best Regards

Hi,

a) Yes.

b) All the properties you see in the portal are mapped to the ABAP side, i.e. first and last name, language, phones est...

c) In User Admin in the portal search for all users: Selecting ABAP will result in the ABAP users, selecting UME will result in UME users and not selecting anything will result in users from both ABAP and UME.

Hope it helps,

Hi Roy,

As you said that

"All the properties you see in the portal are mapped to the ABAP side".

My observation was as follows:

A)

I created the Portal User(ABAP + JAVA) using the UME API's.

I set the setTilte("Mr") and setSalutation("Dr.) property.

The user got created .Innthe Portal we cannot notice the setTilte and setSalutation property so i used the SAP GUI to check it.

In the SAP GUI i could see the changes are reflected for Tilte and Academic Titlt.

B)

Now i changed the property setSalutation to "MBA" and saved the user using the ABAP GUI.

Now i used the UME API to query the getTilte() and getSAlutaion()

But unfortunately this changes were not shown .

Now i bit confused.

Whether this both(portal ABAP) and R/3 are stored in differnet database.

or it is that i have to restart the server to bring it in sync

When you are using the UME API you are creating a UME based user.

Thanks Roy,

yes that true

but the user get cretade in the ABAP database .So it is shown in the SAP GUI.

This impies that the properties in th eportal and that in the SAP R/3 GUI is not completely consistent.

Hi Roy,

I think this would clear my doubt

I read the following statement

" If the UME has read-write access, you can create users using the tools of the J2EE Engine. Users created in this way are stored as users in the ABAP system. Extended user data that cannot be stored in the standard ABAP user record is stored in the database of the UME."

from http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/49/9dd53f779c4e21e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

In this scenario what is the extended data.

Hi,

Good question. I assume getTilte() and getSAlutaion() are part of this extended data than...

Hi,

I think the extended data here is, the custom attribute values of the user. Through, "ume.admin.addatrs" property in config tool you can set custom values for the user. These are all the additional values for the user.
