Integrate TLN with the Portal Masthead

Hello Experts,
I am trying to integrate the top level navigation with the portal masthead. Please let me know if you know of any poosible soulution for the same.
I have a custom jsp file "X.jsp" which I have used to modify the TLN as per my requirements. I have now downloaded the masthead par file and trying to include the "X.jsp" in the branding image area of the "HeaderView.jsp" as in the below line:
<TD><jsp:include page='header.jsp'/></TD>
However, the content of the TLN is displayed above the masthead instead of in the branding image area.
Looking for answers,
Thanks and Regards,
Anil Sabbani

Thanks. That worked. Do you know if there is the potential for class version conflicts when you upgrade portal versions? I would suspect there is if I don't update the referenced .jar and re-deploy my project after an upgrade has been done.
Also, I tried to find where I can reward you point, but could not find it. Do you know how?
Thanks again,
Steve

Accessing a Collaboration room without the Portal masthead

Hi,
I have the URL to the Collaboration room I created.
I want to provide the link to the room to the user and it should open in the same window.When Iam trying to open it in the samw window in the content area, I am again getting the coll. room opened with the Portal masthead(welcome area,navigation etc.,).Is there a way to create a link to the room without the portal header?
I assure to reward points to all those who help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Vasu.

Hi Rabih,
Finally, I solved it on my own.
Here is the soln.,
First create a copy of the Default framework page and edit it. Untick the visible checkbox for Portal masthead, toplevel navigation and detailed navigation.Save it.
Create a URL for accessing this link like irj/servlet/pcd...
Now coming to the coll. room URL, create a URL iview with the above URL and pass the Collaboration connector as parameter to the URL iview.
It worked for me.
If u need further clarification,mail me at [email protected]
If the above answer is helpful, consider rewarding points.

How to pass username and password with the portal url

i want to access portal from my web site. i have created username and password fields in my web page. when submited , my portal page should open. so how to pass username and password with the portal url.

This is not straightforward; but it is doable.
First tell us about your portal version; portal 10.1.4 has a slightly different method of doing it and the pre-10g portals were completely different animals.
And if you are in AS Rel 2, then the most important document for you would probably be the following:
[Creating Deployment Specific Pages| http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/idmanage.1012/b14078/custom.htm#i1015535]
You might want to use it in conjunction with some metalink notes about your portal version and such a login page.
hope that helps!

How to integrate P2G with Oracle portal

Has any one out there successfully integrated P2G with Oracle portal? If so, could you be kind enough to tell me how you did it. I need to do the same thing.

Increasing the height of the Portal Masthead ?

Hello, I'm new to SAP EP. Wonder if any of you experts can assist. We're currently implementing EP version 7.0.
How do I adjust the height of the masthead (we are increasing the size of our logo on the masthead and consequently we will need to increase the height of the masthead)?

hi,
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e549a890-0201-0010-3f8b-d3b852457ebd
Go through this pdf. you need to create a new desktop by applying new desktop framework page and themes as specified in the guide. Before that in portal go to System administration -> portal display -> desktops & display rules. In that select a theme and save as 'new theme' for example. When you click 'new theme', preview opens. In it select 'portal masthead', under which there is an option 'Masthead Height'.
In it you can specify the height in terms of px in accordance with your height of the logo. You can even insert a new logo from the 'url to logo' option under it.
Save the theme and this is the new theme which you should assign it to new desktop.
Hope it helps...
Revert back if you have any doubts.

HTTP Headers - enabling caching and compression with the portal?

Has anyone configured their web server (IIS or Apache) or use a commercial product to flawlessly cache and compress all content generated by the portal?
Compression and caching is critical for making our portal based applictions work for overseas users. It should be doable, just taking advantage of standard HTTP protocols, but implementing this a complex system like the portal is tricky, we seem to be generating different values in the HTTP Headers for the same types of files (such as CSS).
We are running Apache so can't take advantage of the built in compression capabilities of the .net portal. We are running the java vervion. 6.1 mp1, sql server 2000 (portal, search, collab, publisher, studio, analytics, custom .net and java portlets on remote server).
Basically our strategy is to compress all outgoing static and dynamic text content (html, CSS, javascript), and to cache all static files (CSS, javascript, images) for 6 months to a year depending on file type.
Here are some links on the subjects of caching and compression that I have compiled:

Hi Scott,
Does Weblogic platform 8.1 supports netscape? We have developed a portal which
works perfectly on IE but it dies in netscape. Is netUI tags not supported in
Netscape?
Pls reply

Netscape 4.x and below have terrible performance with nested tables.
The
problem is not the Portal server but rather Netscape on the client machine.
If IE and/or a recent version of Netscape/Mozilla is not possible then
there are
really only two options:
1) Faster client hardware - not likely to be an acceptable solution.
2) Minimize the number of portlets and the complexity within the portlets.
Neither of these solutions are a great answer, but the 4.7 series of
Netscape is
getting pretty old. Having said that, we've got customers who want to
continue
to use IE 4 :)
Again, though, this problem is, I'm afraid out of our hands. It is the
client
rendering time that is the issue.

b/c it takes so long to load some of the webapps. What the pages willdo when
loading is that the headers will come up and when it gets to the bodyof the page
it seems to stall and then comes up all of a sudden. For some of thepages it
takes 6 seconds and for others it takes about 24-27 seconds.
We have suggested using IE only but that is not an option with allof the customers
and getting a newer version of Netscape is also out of the question.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.--

BW integration with the Portal

I need to integrate BW reports into the Portal. Currently my reports are organized around role menus. I need to know what are the best practices around:
- role creation. what is the strategy of creating roles in the Portal. do we import the BW roles into the Portal? do we create new roles based on the BW roles? how can BW roles be migrated to the Portal?
- the execution of online reports from the Portal. Can we run ad-hoc reports in the Portal? can the user select characterstics or change the BW queries from the Portal?
thanks in advance.

you can find information about upload existing roles from an abap-system to the portal in the sap help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/40/4b3441cd62db2be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
when it comes to ad-hoc query and analysis, you can use the bex web analyser of netweaver 04s (callable by url or as iView in the portal) see:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/08/965b423be8de54e10000000a155106/frameset.htm

How to make a relationship with the portal Id with R/3 Id

Hi Experts,
We have developed a portal application and assigned the role to the User.
In R/3 where we can integrate the details.If we maintainin IT 0105 communication,will it suufice the need.
Please advice.
Regards,
Vikram.

Hi Vikram,
And I add by saying that:
1. The user from the portal have the portal roles (access to portal applications)
2. This same user have the roles, groups and profiles on the backend to permit or deny access to the authorization objects (which permit access to ITs on the HR and tables)
3. The Pernr that you assign this user via IT0105 STy0001, is used on the org structure.
Hope I contributed.

Errors when using LoadRunner with the Portal (eventQueue)

Hi,
I'm trying to script up a basic load test of the SAP Portal using Load Runner HTTP/HTML protocol. I've dome some correlation but I'm finding the web_submit_data functions seem to be passsing garbage for the eventQueue (see below).
"Name=eventQueue", "Value=BUTTONCLICKîx80u201AIdîx80u201AaaabLDOL.VcRfwIFrameView.PrevButtonTopîx80u201ACurrentFocusIdîx80u201AaaabLDOL.VcRfwIFrameView.PrevButtonTop", ENDITEM,
My Question is what kind of data is passed in the eventQueue. I'm trying to navigate through payslips and expecting a pdf document to appear within the portal.
Let me know if you need anymore info.
Thanks
Gavin

Although this might be a late reply, im sure a lot of people are going to view it as a useful resource
Yes, this means that you about to test an SAP application written in Webdynpro, which means that there are some content that you need to convert in your code
the HP loadrunner script will look something like this
web_submit_data("sap-ext-sid_2",
"Action=http://www.example.com:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/SAP/ERC_A_WORKCENTER/;sap-ext-sid=",
"Method=POST",
"TargetFrame=",
"RecContentType=text/html",
"Referer=http://www.example.com:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/SAP/ERC_A_WORKCENTER/;sap-ext-sid=",
"Snapshot=t18.inf",

"Name=sap-charset", "Value=utf-8", ENDITEM,
"Name=_client_url_", "Value=", ENDITEM,
LAST);
when loadrunner executes the script, this kind of data transferred to SAP is not recognized, so you will need to plug in the below code and run the script and before that block of loadrunner recorded script, you will need to pass the sapqueueevent as a string
Use the below code
// This function replaces unreserved characters in a string with their encoded values.
// Encoding is in the style of SAP Web Dynpro. E.g. "abd*def" becomes "abc~002Adef".
// Reserved/unreserved characters are according to RFC3986 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986)
// This function returns a pointer to the start of the encoded string (buf).
// Note that buf must be big enough to hold original string plus all converted entities.
char* dynpro_encode(char* plain_string, char* buf) {
int len = strlen(plain_string);
int i,j;
char hex_value[3];
if (plain_string == NULL) {
    lr_error_message("Input string is empty.");
    return NULL;
for (i=0, j=0; i<len; i++) {
    // Check if character is in list of allowed characters.
    // A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
    // a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
    // 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 - _ . ~
    if ( (plain_string<i> >= 'A' && plain_string<i> <= 'Z') ||
         (plain_string<i> >= 'a' && plain_string<i> <= 'z') ||
         (plain_string<i> >= '0' && plain_string<i> <= '9') ||
         (plain_string<i> == '-') ||
         (plain_string<i> == '_') ||
         (plain_string<i> == '.') ||
         (plain_string<i> == '~') ) {
      buf[j++] = plain_string<i>;
    } else if ( (plain_string<i> < 32 ) || (plain_string<i> > 126) ) {
      lr_error_message("Input string contains non-printable or non-ASCII character %c at position: %d", plain_string<i>, i);
      return NULL;
    } else {
      // The unicode value for use in url encoding is the same as the hex value for the ASCII character
      itoa(plain_string<i>, hex_value, 16);
      buf[j++] = '~';
      buf[j++] = '0';
      buf[j++] = '0';
      buf[j++] = toupper(hex_value[0]);
      buf[j++] = toupper(hex_value[1]);
buf[j] = NULL; // terminate the string
return buf;
Hope that helps

Working with the Portal Error Stack in PL/SQL

Hi,
In brief, this is a question about the persistence of errors on the stack, as they appear to disappear without warning. Any help would be appreciated, if you'd like background, read on.
I'm writing PL/SQL web applications and as ever one of the required tasks is user validation.
I have a form on a page which submits directly to a stored procedure. If the validation within the proc is ok, the value(s) get inserted into a DB table and the user gets directed to another Portal page. If there is a user input error then the code reloads the original page (via redirect) with the necessary errors displayed.
I used to use the Session storage to hold any error messages and then check to see if any errors existed at the point of page redirection, and this worked fine.
Now that I figure that I should do the job properly and use Portals' error stack, everything falls over!
It would seem that between moving from one page to another any values held in the stack are lost, yet I know they are definitely getting put there in the first place as I can view them, as long as I don't redirect the Portal page.
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance.
Dan

1.) Create a hidden item on your page.
2.) In your Page Rendering PL/SQL Process add logic which assigns 'EDIT' or 'NO_EDIT' to the hidden item.
3.) Create a "Message" HTML region which conditionally displays based of the value of your hidden item being 'NO_EDIT'.
4.) Make your edit field conditionally Read Only based on the value of your hidden item being 'NO_EDIT'.
There may be an easier way but I got this to work

Can I integrate BPM with WebLogic Portal virtual content repository?

For example, when there is a new added node in WebLogic Portal virtual content repository, the workflow triggerd, and start a workflow instance on that node.
May be the node is a document, I'd like the document have a complex approval process.
My question is, there are many nodes so many workflow instance after I added many documents, so how can I know which node is combined with which workflow instance? May be in workflow process ,I'd like to get and set the node metadata or something else with the WebLogic Portal virtual content repository, how can I process data between BPM and WebLogic Portal VCR?

With regard to inline editing with Content Presenter in WLP 10.2, you should know that this "feature" is simply an example of how you might author advanced display templates.. The sample application for Content Presenter has a display template which is used to allow this inline editing. The template is just a sample and source code is provided. For your purposes, you can author your own display template which can provide inline edit even if Library Services are enabled. You'll probably want to enable version preview and approval to the template as well. It's a little more work, but certainly possible.

Does anyone integrate siteminder with iPlanet Portal Server

I am trying to integrate iPlanet and Siteminder using the secure access pack. Has anyone successfully integrated the two?

yes,
we did basic integration where the authentication will be done using siteminder. The trick is to protect the portal server web server and not the gateway. You also need to add a new authentication module for siteminder in the portal using ipsadmin. We are protecting the login html page only. We couldn't protect the desktop because it's built using servlets.

Problem with the portal on 64bit computer(s)

None of the replies fixed the issue but after doing more troubleshooting I am starting to narrow the issue down. I am going to start a new post with my new findings.
Hello
Wondering if this is a known issue or not. I am having troubles with windows 7 x64 machines getting a blank page when getting to the portal.
I can get to it just fine on my 32bit machine but when I login on a 64bit machine the silver light part does not load. I have tried adding the site to both trusted and/or local intranet zones with no change.
If this a known issue is there a work around?

You would need Silverlight for the 64bit browser, which I am not sure even exists. You probably have Silverlight for 32bit browser installed and working fine.

RAD

The following portal component could be used to replace your masthead iView . Basically it makes a small table which has the normal masthead plus a bit of code that works out which host you're on and puts out a message,
Make an iView from it and add it to your framework page in place of the regular masthead and you'll then get the appropriate information.
public class WhoAmI extends AbstractPortalComponent
    public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
          IPortalComponentProfile profile = request.getComponentContext().getProfile();
          StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(System.getProperty("SAPMYNAME"),"_");
          String message1 = "You are on the ";
          String host = "development";
          for (int i=0;st.hasMoreElements();i++) {
               String s = st.nextElement().toString();
               if (i==0) {
                    if (s.equals("abcdef")) host = "production";
          String message2 = " server";
          response.write("<div id=\"WhoAmIArea\"><table width=\"100%\"><tr>");
          response.write("<td align=\"left\" width=\"90%\"><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"38\" src=\"/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.default\"></iframe></td>");
          response.write("<td align=\"right\" width=\"10%\">");
          response.write("<span class=\"urTxtStd\">"+message1+host+message2+"</span>");
          response.write("</td></tr></table></div>");

Integrate BSP with the MSS Teamviewer

Hi,
does anybody know how to integrate a bsp application with the MSS teamviewer navigation - like other MSS services are integrated(i.e. receive Teamviewer event in BSP application)?
Thank you,
Serge

Hi sergey,
I also fedup in searching the integration functionality & finally built the 'TeamViewer' in BSP Page itself.
It's simple. Pick up your 'directly reporting employees' or 'All employees' from the Org structure using the fn module <b> RH_DIR_ORG_STRUC_GET </b> .
I hope the foll thread will be helpful.
