Error in BI4 SP04 Olap Analysis Using Portal iview list template

Former Member

We are trying to host the BI Launch Pad BI4 SP04.1 in the SAP Enterprise Portal (7.3.1.Sp04) on AIX 6.1 using the SAP Business Objects Document List Template, but getting an error when trying to use Olap for Analysis.

When previewng the iview from the portal, the bilaunch pad is opened and the main page is displayed

Then we select the icon Analysis for Olap, select an Olap connection and receive error in
message box titled 'Analysis Edition for Olap'

Login Failed. Invalid, User Name or Password

It seems to be problem with SSO token back to the SAP portal.
We have SSO configured from BI4 SP04.0.1 to BW 7.3.1. SP04 and can login to the launch pad using SAP authentication with the same account.

The security on the OLAP connection is everyone - view. 

If we change the Olap connection authentication to pre-defined from SSO, Olap Analysis works correctly from the portal iview, but of course the permissions are not acceptable. Further, we set SSO to false  from the global.properties file and restarted tomcat.  We can then start the launchpad from the Iview in the portal and are prompted for manual logon, use SAP authentication and Olap for Analysis runs correctly as the same user we tried previously.

However, our requirement is to use SAP authentication and SSO from the portal to BI4 and not logon on manually.

I have entered an OSS message for this issue and making little progress there.  If you have made this work or have some ideas you can share, I would be very grateful!

Just want to update with more information-


Again, from the enterprise portal through the ivew - BO Document List template,

Connects through to BI Launch Pad without having to login-using the BW ABAP credentials

Then we try to open a webi document with an olap connection that has sso authentication instead of pre-defined user, we do not get the same user login failed message, the page is just blank

But if I login directly to bi launch pas with the same SAP authentication that was used with the enterprise portal, and bring up the same webi document, the report is displayed as expected.

Anybody successfully use the BO document list ivew using Olap connections with SSO and not just a pre-defined user?

Hello Lewis,

Did you get any response from SAP. We are having the same issue and it is not fixed yet.

Thanks

Hi Hilary,

Thanks for your note, but unfortunately we still do not have an answer from SAP for the OSS message we submitted in August.  Had so many other issues to address, but plan to go through it over next days and will post either way.

Hi Lee,

Did you perhaps received a reply from SAP yet? We are experiencing the exact same issue.

This was resolved after setting up sso correctly

Hello Lee,

we are facing the same issue, what do you mean for "setting up sso correctly"?

Which error did you find on your previous SSO setting?

Regards,

David

Hello Lee,

when you open up the BI Launchpad inside the SAP Portal, does the correct user show up as logged on user to the BI LaunchPad ?

thanks
