[ Integration Steps

1. Implement SNC between BOBJ and SAP BI

2. Implement Integration between SAP Portal and BOBJ

11


[ SNC (Secure Network Communication )

SNC is a software layer in the SAP system architecture that

provides an interface to an external security product

SNC provides security at the application level

SNC enables SAP system to connect to BOBJ without passing

the password of the user that is connecting

This is required in a use case where reports should be scheduled

to run rather than run online by users

SNC requires that the servers are configured to allow for logon

with just the user ID

SAP provides cryptographic libraries to ensure that the

configuration is secure

12


[ Integration Best Practice

Use SAP Authentication (SSO) in Business Objects Enterprise

together with SAP Enterprise Portal.This allows

Single Sign-On using LDAP or AD to SAP Portal. The portal

issues SAP logon ticket

The SAP logon ticket used for authentication to BOBJ and other

SAP Systems

Import SAP BI Security (Roles, Users) in to BOBJ. Same become

the user group

Imported users are qualified with logical system name

CLNT

Setup server-side trust to allow for scheduling reports

The SAP GUI is Installed

Deploy Business ObjectsIntegration Kit SAP Transports in BI

Place SAP Cryptographic library in below path of BI System

\usr\sap\ext\run

\usr\sapinstance\sec

Create Profile Parameters for SSO in BI

login/accept_sso2_ticket

login/create_sso2_ticket

Configure the trust manager in BI

Business Objects Enterprise Server Side requirements

Update saplogon.ini , Hosts file with BI Server details

Ensure that users are assigned to SAP roles


[ SNC Implementation Step - 1

1 Install Java Connector in BOBJ Server

The SAP Java Connector is required for the SAP authentication and for the SAP

specific features in InfoView.

The following files need to be copied to the Business Objects Enterprise server

sapjco.jar needs to be copied to the shared library path of the BOBJ server. In

the case of a default Tomcat deployment the path would be C:\Program

Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\shared\lib.

Librfc32.dll and sapjcorfc.dll need to be copied to the Windows\system32

directory.

The role import is done from CMC in Business Objects server under Authentication SAP

To import BI users automatically.



7 Install the SAP authentication helper transport from the SAP Business Objects XI Integration Kit for SAP in BI

The following files must be used on an SAP BI system(These files are Unicode enabled)

Content Administration transport (K900579.r21 and R900579.r21)

Personalization transport (K900580.r21 and R900580.r21)

MDX Query Connectivity transport (K900581.r21 and R900581.r21)

ODS Connectivity transport (K900582.r21 and R900582.r21)
