Have you ever tried to update an SAP NetWeaver 2004 Java Application Server with multiple instances? If yes, how did you patch the dialog instances (DIs)? I guess you ran the update tool SAPinst on every dialog instance host. SAPinst actually doesn’t do much about the DIs than just copying the new kernel binary files to the DI-individual executable directories. The Java applications running on top of the runtime engine will be synchronized out of the central database instance during the next startup. Thus applications are updated when the central instance is being updated. (That’s why the update of the central instance lasts longer.) You might have wondered why no automatic synchronization with kernel binaries can be done? Well, until the SP Stack 18 this function was not provided due to some architectural limitations with the SAP NetWeaver 2004 Java server. (more…)

First, if your going to Tech Ed in Amsterdam next week, please stop by the Web Dynpro basics course (CD155) — I’ll be conducting a hands-on session on Web Dynpro-Portal integration. Not to be missed — I’ll be giving out candy to the developers who finish first or ask the most interesting questions.

Second, I’m sorry it took so long to return to blogging on portal development (in the middle of my series on the PCD).

Finally, let’s discuss PCM.

What is the easy and simple way of activating Central User Administration (CUA)via SCUA? Customers that have implemented the Central User Administration in lower releases have had to read and skim through cookbooks and adhere to the different set-up procedures of the ALE landscape used to propagate the user data and input methods like UserClone in transaction WE20 (managing partner profiles), bearing in mind upper and lower cases for the different methods.

There is good news for you. The setup of CUA is now extremely simple and easy. All you have to do to activate the CUA, regardless of whether you want to set up a complete new CUA just add a new client to the CUA, is activate the CUA via transaction SCUA. So, no more fumbling in ALE configurations and partner profile management is needed!

Single-Sign on in your SAP Landscape has changed with the gradual introduction of the SAP Web AS Java for use with each of your applications. With the delivery of SAP’s most widely used J2EE application, the SAP NetWeaver Portal; and the use of the Web AS Java for many other Java applications being delivered by SAP, there is an increasing need for the Java Engines within your enterprise to be enabled for Single-Sign On.

Overview

This article will use a real-life, 3 step example of Integrating Single-Sign On between two SAP Portals, to illustrate how to use SAP Logon Tickets for J2EE Application SSO. Using this single-sign on capability, your users will be able to move seamlessly between your different SAP Web AS Java systems, without having to re-enter their passwords.

It took 3 months, but finally here is the last blog about the major features that were added to SAP NetWeaver Portal 2004, SP15. 

Today we look at the changes to the XML Content and Actions tool, which lets you automate the creation of portal content. Instead of using the administration interfaces to create iViews, pages, worksets, roles and other portal objects, you can simply upload an XML file with all the information and — poof! — all you content is created.

The tool is good if you are designing content on a test machine, and then you want to create the content on another machine. Also, if you need to create a lot of objects that are similar — several roles with similar structure; you create the XML for one role, and simply duplicate it in the file and upload the file.

You’re a BPX, it’s Monday morning and you’ve arrived at a brand new client. You have a limited engagement of one week. Your mission: to produce documented recommendations for new technology supporting an existing business process requiring some redesign. How do you get the job done?

This scenario is a common occurrence to the Business Process Expert who functions as the ‘hired gun’. It is not uncommon for the BPX to be called into situations which require high- to mid-level analysis and a quick, but comprehensive set of recommendations as output.

To accomplish this task, the BPX must deal with the following factors:

Update: Have also a look at Geocoding - the next step: Routing with Map24 AJAX API

Inspired by Eddy De Clercq’s SDN World Map and the German Podcast Pimp My Brain where they introduced me into Google Maps I’ve tried out to combine this with our SAP CRM People Centric User Interface (PC-UI). The result is this little BSP application which uses ABAP Object Persistence Service and Simple Transformations.

I’m not sure if this should be an obituary or a eulogy entitled “Ode to SAP NetWeaver Components”? Anyway it got your attention and I should proceed. If you are involved with any SAP NetWeaver projects, this is essential for you to know.
