1. Business Scenario

SAP BusinessObjects Process Control 3.0 uses Enterprise Portal as user interface for enabling

members of audit and internal control teams to gain better visibility into key business processes, and

to ensure a high level of reliability in financial statement reporting.

2. Background Information

This documentation provides the tips and tricks for Portal Installation for SAP BusinessObjects

Process Control 3.0 to optimize the landscape with the existing hardware infrastructure. Such as

Single portal to multiple Process Control clients/systems*

Default system alias

Usage Type BI Java

*Note: It is recommended to have one portal connected to one PC system. SAP is only responsible

for the standard delivered portal content. Customers have to maintain all modified contents when

applying support packages and doing system upgrade.

3. Prerequisites

All the pre-requisites are checked and fulfilled according to “SAP BusinessObjects Process Control 3.0 Pre

Installation Guide”. And SAP BusinessObjects Process Control 3.0 has been installed or upgraded

successfully. Please refer to “SAP BusinessObjects Process Control 3.0 Post Installation Guide for New

Installation“ and “SAP BusinessObjects Process Control 3.0 Post Installation Guide for Upgrading from PC 2.5”.

4. Connect Single Portal to Multiple Process

Control Systems

There are two scenarios of PC systems to connect to one single portal.

Scenario I: PC systems with different SID connects to one portal

Ex: GRD 100 and GRQ 100

Scenario II: PC systems on different clients of the same SID to one portal

Ex: GP5 100 and GP5 300 

The following example uses scenario II for demonstration. And it is also suitable for scenario I.

Please see Section 6 FAQ for further detail discussion concerning support pack update, user store

synchronization and others.

4.1  Create Custom Portal Content

Copy the pre-delivered Process Control portal content to customer folder. Then perform the

configuration.

4.1.1  Copy Portal Content

Copy the pre-delivered Process Control portal content to customer folder.

1. Log on as Portal Super Administrator with Portal Content Admin, System Admin, and User Adminauthorization.

5. Default System Alias and Usage Type BI Java

5.1  Default System Alias...

Here is the list of default system alias for Process Control, Risk Management, and BOE.

PC 3.0 RM 3.0 BOE

Default System Alias SAP_GRCSPC  SAP_GRM  For releases SP1 (and

below)

SAP_GRC_BOE

For RM releases SP2

(and higher)

SAP_GRC_RM_BOE

For PC releases SP2(and higher)

SAP_GRC_SPC_BOE

5.2  Usage Type BI Java...

In order to print the PDF report file from the ALV output data, usage type BI Java has to be installed.

You could use http://<hostname>:<port>/utl/UsageTypesInfo to check if usage type BI Java is

installed and refer to SAP Note 968236 Installing usage type BI Java subsequently/iView not found.

In case the BI Java usage type is not installed and you want to install it subsequently, please refer 

to SAP Note 883948 NW 7.00(2004s): Inst.Add.Java Usage Types/Software Units.

6. FAQ

1. Is there any negative impact in having more that 2 PC systems/clients? Or this is a limitation?

[Feedback] There is no limitation on how many PC systems/clients that one portal could be

connected to. In a normal PC implementation system landscape design, use one portal to

connect to both DEV and QAS PC is doable. And it is recommended to use single production

portal for production PC system. Please refer to portal sizing documentation for hardware

requirement and the performance impact.

2. Is there any way to synchronize the user master from one PC client?

[Feedback] You could use Central User Management. Use the referenced PC client as the main

user store. Portal and other PC systems/clients will synchronize users automatically from the

reference PC client.

3. Will the portal be used for GRC only or it could be used for other than GRC solution? How will it be

impacted in applying support pack to the same portal system?

8/8/2019 10e98930-6924-2d10-c286-921f20e21f15

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/10e98930-6924-2d10-c286-921f20e21f15 36/38

 

[Feedback] As long as the portal has met the PC prerequisite, there is no limitation for GRC usage

only. And since the portal has meet PC prerequisite, there should be no impact for applying

Support pack to the portal.

4. Assume that PC client 100 is used for DEV and PC client 200 is used for QA. But, customer has a

restriction in applying the support pack for QA till certain time. How to overcome with such

situation?

[Feedback] This scenario will impact PC system more than Portal system. Portal is used as user 

interface for PC. And there will not be any update for portal package after SP3. During the

system landscape design, customer’s change management process has put into consideration.

5. Should I perform backup for Portal before implementation any customizing?

[Feedback] Yes. It is common sense to backup the system before implementing the

customization.

6. Is it possible to undo the configurable and have only one portal support one PC system?

[Feedback] Yes. It is. Say, you only want to keep PC system one and delete the connection to PC

system two. You should do the following:

Unassign all portal user group of PC system two to users.

Delete all portal user group related to PC system two.

Delete the system to PC system two.

Delete the custom folder of PC system two.
