Difference between "Favorites"- & "Portal Favorites"-iView

Hi SDN
Can anybody tell me the difference between the km-iView "Favorites" and "Portal Favorites"?
Also, when I enable the "Favorites"-iView a caption between the Favorites-entries and the Tray is added. How can I remove this?
And: The layout of the Favorites-iView-entries is different from those of the Portal-Favorites-iView-entries (the space between the list-dot and the text). It seems not to be affected the same way by the Complex Items -> Tree settings in Theme Editor.
Thanks in advance
Michael

As I found out the LayoutSet-Setting is responsible for the display.
In Favorites-iView the default LayoutSet was LinkListExplorer. After I changed it to PortalFavoritesExplorer the space between dot-and-text vanished along with the "Favorites"-caption - but sadly the "Organize Entries" Link on the bottom disappeared, too...
I think I have to play around a bit with LayoutSets
Main parts of the question already answered...
What still remains is the question about the acutal difference between these iViews.

Whats the difference between bookmarks and favorites?

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [[/questions/909148]]</blockquote>
What is the difference between bookmarks and favorites? I use favorites, but only see instructions for bookmarks. I use windows 7 and all the folders and individual sites were listed together alphabetically. Now all the folders are listed together, and there are two different sections of alphabetized sites below that. Why? How do I get all the favorites listed together in alphabetical order?

The term favorites, or favourites, is used by other browsers such as Internet Explorer, whereas Firefox uses the term bookmarks.
The technology behind the two also differs somewhat, but it is still for instance possible to import favourites from IE to Firefox see
* [[Importing favorites and other data from Internet Explorer]]
Once the favourites are imported and appended to your bookmarks thay can be organised by dragging and dropping etc

What is the difference between CE Portal and normal Portal

Can someone tell me the difference between CE Portal & Normal Portal. I mean, I keep hearing that SAP EP 7.2 is CE portal whereas SAP EP 7.3 is not CE portal.
Can I assume that CE (Composite environment) is a failure model so SAP switched back to Non-CE environment ? Your inputs please.

Hello,
SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1 and 7.2 have been introduced as a lean "side-car" approach to complement the SAP NetWeaver standard release. Main reason was to provide composition tools and services based on a enhanced Java technology stack (back the time).
The official successor of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (or any of the enhancements packages) has been SAP NetWeaver 7.3 (where we brougth various tools together back into one SAP NetWeaver codeline.) Nowadays we recommend the latest release: SAP NetWeaver 7.4 including the Enterprise Portal 7.4.
Customers & Partners who did not want to install the full SAP NetWeaver Java stack had the chance to only go with the Composition Environment - that contained selected portal core services. These are mainly used for application integration / launching scenarios and not supportin full enterprise portal (intranet / extranet) scenarios - that's why there is no KM included.
Hope this helps to get a better understanding.

Thomas

Difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.

Hi Experts,
What is the difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.
Thanks,
Jay.

Hi,
The PDK provides two methods for creating a portal component:
Abstract Portal Component
The Abstract Portal Component class offers a lean method for writing HTML commands to the Web client as well as for basic event handling. It is an implementation of the IPortalComponent, which is the central abstraction of the Portal Component API.
DynPage
The Page Processor Component, which extends the Abstract Portal Component, returns a DynPage. It provides more sophisticated event handling. Controls that produce events (such as buttons and checkboxes) have an event attribute that contains the name of the event handling method. This event handling method is invoked by the DynPage when it occurs.
The JSPDynPage is an implementation of the DynPage and allows the use of the DynPage in combination with JSP (Java Server Pages).
The PDK documentation and examples focus on the DynPage. Easier event handling and the separatation of content development (JSP) from application development (Java) make the DynPage a better choice for components with interaction and changing content.
For more details, Refer thes thread,

Difference between Oracle Portal & Oracle Forms

What is the difference between Oracle Portal & Oracle Forms and when would use
them?
Thanks

Hi,
Oracle Portal is like a Website that acts as a "doorway" to the Internet or a portion of the Internet, targeted towards one particular subject. Oracle Portal is very popular among developers & architects who wish to aggregate content from multiple souces and present them to the users on a single WebSite.
Oracle Forms is a long-established technology to design and build enterprise applications quickly and efficiently. You can develop your enterprise applications in Oracle Forms easily, by using it's out-of-the box "drap & drop" features and enriched programming features.
Forms is used to develop enterprise applications - Portal is used as a "doorway" to many such enterprise applications. It's a crude way of answering your question " when to use Forms / Portal ? ", but I guess it would give you an idea.......
Good Luck !

Sandeep

Difference between Oracle Portal and HTML DB

Hi folks,
I am thinking about using another oracle tool to generate web reports.
I see two possibilities: Oracle Portal and Html db.
But what are the differences between them? Which one is the best?
Nowadays we're using Oracle Reports, but as it is very expensive, we're are looking for another tool.
Thank you all,

Hi Sergio,
I read the suggested forum.
But to me, it was a little bit confusing.
I don't know these technologies so deeply.
I just want to know, if both (Oracle Portal and HTML DB) can be used to generate simple reports in Web?
As I told you, we are using Oracle Reports which demands Enterprise Edition of IAS. This is very expensive to my company.
So, I need to suggest some other tool to substitute Oracle Reports, so the company will be able to decrease the IAS version to the Standard one.
In your opinion, which is the best tool in terms of generating reports in the web?
Do these two tools genereate pdf reports????
Please, I want to know your opinion about my problem.
Thank you!!!

Difference between portal component and portal service?

Hi I am kishore...
         I worked on portal components but not on portal services... Would anybody tell the difference between the portal components and portal services...? What is a portal service..?
           How we know which one to choose in the scenario.?
    Thanks in adavance

Hi kishore,
A portal component is custom Java code that is executed according to user requests, and generates HTML output for display on the client.
Portal components:
Page builder, which assembles pages
Admin tools, such as logger, which is comprised of user interface messages.
Pages
Technically, the page is also an iView. A page includes iViews or pages (nested) and Layout components
iViews
There are two different isolation levels (iView types)
Embedded: iViews html is embedded as part of page html. iViews are called synchronically on the server, and retrieved in one response, to the client (this is the page response).. Each iView reloading reloads all iViews on page.
URL (Isolated): iViews are fetched by an IFRAME element in an own request. One response for the page followed by additional request-response for each iView (depending on browser 2-4 requests simultaneously).
Portal Services:
A portal service is a component that offers a globally accessible function in the portal.
A portal service act as the middleware, that is, interfaces that are enabled to exchange procedures and data. They offer functionality to portal components, and other services.
There are two groups of portal services:
Portal services (part of the PRT)
Caching
Notification
iView service
Application Repository
System Landscape
Role, pages, worksets
Web Services
Unification service
Portal services (external to the PRT)
Client Eventing
URL generator
Logger
JCO client service
Hope this helps.

What is difference between Portal on NW 7.3 and Portal on NW 7.0 Ehp 2?

I am checking out the features of NW 7.3 (Java server related) and NW 7.0 Ehp 2 (ABAP server / Business Suite related).
If I think about NW 7.3 I am think NWDS, Web Dynpro Java, Visual Composer, Composition Environment, PI, Mobile, Portal etc. so basically everthing that's Java related.
If I think about NW 7.02 I am think Business Suite applications, classic Dynpro,Web Dynpro ABAP, BSP etc. so basically everthing that's ABAP related.
Now that I am reading the features I see Portal in both areas: featurs in NW 7.02 but alos features in NW 7.3?
Are we talking about 2 different kinds of Enterprise Portals? Is there a difference between Enterprise Portal installed in Java environment (so basically the CE Portal) and an Enterprise Portal installed on top of e.g. SAP CRM or ERP?
So when are Portal features NW 7.3 applicable and when are features NW 7.0 EhP x applicable? Or are both applicable and does a Portal have an ABAP based piece and a Java based Piece???
kind regards,
Angelique Heutinck
IFF

Hi,
to be honest - this is nothing a forum should clarify about. You are asking for the universe. Obviously the architecture is completely unknown by you so take a look at help.sap.com and start with architectural things. This also explains where the portal is located and if there is java and abap or not.
Regarding release cycle: for the portal it works like for all other netweaver components. In 7.02 you have a 7.02 portal while in 7.3 you have a 7.3 portal. Its the same application just a new release with new features.
By the way: features and so on are also described at help.sap.com including the new ones for every release and stack.
Be aware of the fact that there is also a huge difference in CE and non-CE installation (I'm sure you already know - see help.sap.com).
I close this thread for now. If there is some detailed question - feel free to ask.

GP difference between Portal Role GP Administrator and Process Role Admin

Please explain the difference between the Portal Role "GP Administrator" and the Process Role "Administrator"
In the CAF-GP Security guide, it says that the Process Role "Administrator" can "Maintain process instances using the GP administration tools". What does this mean?
If a user has the Portal Role "GP Administration" and he DOES NOT have the Process Role "Administrator" for ANY process, he can still maintain ALL of the process instances from the Administration workset. He doesn't need to have the Process Role "Administrator" assigned to him.

All three have the same Admion rights.
They are the default users created when you are creating a domain.
If not used or edited they are a major security risk!
If you just use say weblogic or portaladmin and do not take care of changing the password or security privilige (changing the group from Admin, or deleting this user if not required) of yahooadmin then anyone knowing the admin url can login with this default username and its default password.
I would personally prefer creating custom users and remove the default users.

Diff between regular portal page and content area page?

Hi.
I have a content area page. Because I thought it would be nice to have "Edit Page" link on the page, I created a new portal page (yes, a portal page vs. a content area page).
I created 2 regions.
Region 1, portlet nav bar portlet from my content area.
Region 2, root folder from my content area
When I use the page, clicking on anything in the nav bar portlet takes me to a new page (my content area page), instead of updating the folder portlet on my new portal page.
Is this by design?
What the difference between a portal page and a content area folder?
Thanks a bunch!
Phillip

Phillip,
The two are indeed subtly different. The experts are on the content area forum but basically a content area page is designed to automatically provide easy navigation within a content area. This includes automatically "doing the right thing" for the navbar portlets.
Note the links on the navbar portlet and their respective targets. They always target the content area page so that the navigation in a content area is seamless (i.e. the middle region updates w/ the current folder).

Difference between EP and BSP

Can some one let me know the main difference between Enterprise Portal and Business Server Page and when one is prefered over the other?
I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Ram

Hi,
Same differences as in between apples and bananas : both are fruits but nothing more in common.
EP is a software product sold by SAP to implement an Enterprise Portal.
BSP is a SAP development technology for web applications.
Common point : you can embed or access BSP applications from an EP portal.

How to see the iview in portal favorite

Hi,
It is possible to see the iview in portal favorite without giving content admin role. How to add the iview created in portal to display in portal favorite.
Thanks,
Kundan

Hi,
Your question is not very clear for me....According to my understanding i am replying u.
Portal favourites is itself an iview.
If u want to show some other iview in place of Portal favourites then you need to do some changes in your framework page.
Go to content admin and go to your framework page ---> select Desktop Innner Page
then u can see Portal favourites iview there.
If u want to show some ivew in place of portal favourites, then delete Portal favourites and add the iview which u want to display.

Portal favorites not displaying the iview.

Hi Team,
We have a home role with a welcome page which is the first role to be displayed to every user logged in to portal.
Now we have enabled the option "Add to Portal favorites" to the portal objects. So when a report (BI / Bo report) is added to the portal favorites we are able to see the report added to the portal favorites iview. But when we try to access the report directly from portal favorites the link is navigating to the exact report path but not displaying the report instead it is displaying the welcome page of the HOME role.
When i try to add Identity management iview of the User admin to the portal favorites and try to aceess it from Portal favorites iview, it navigates to the identity management page but the welcome page is displayed instead of the identity management iview.
Can you please let me know a fix for this.
regards
Bharat

Hi Team,
Any ideas on this issue will be very helpful
