ITS iView and Session Management in Federated Portal Network

Hi,
We use an ITS iView for an HR application in the Portal. When used in federation the session management doesn not work correctly. We fill in a selection screen in the begin of the application and then run the report. When we click the back button in the Portal and then reload the app, the selection of the previous session is used, in stead of showing a new selection screen.
This only occurs when used in Federated Portal Network. SAP OSS already pointed out that the USR_ABORT command is not given in the consumer Portal. How can we make sure that this command is given, so that the session is correctly closed? How can we set these session management properties and options?
Best regards,
Jan Laros

Solved it. It is done in the federation configuration. In SAP Note 880482 - Central Note: Federated Portal Network (SAP NetWeaver 7.0) the problem is identified, specific for SPS13. The two properties of the producer: External Hostname and External Port were not updated properly and needed to be changed manually.

Training and Event Management Calendar in Portal iView

Has anyone implemented Training and Event management in the portal and if so, how did you develop the Calendar iView?
Did you use WebDynpro, .NET, or some other method?
Your assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello,
From what I recall, TEM in ESS can be configured via ITS based service iviews.
There are some services like PV3I, PV7I, PV8I etc which you can find out using tcode SICF.
The portal consultant can then create ITS based iviews for these services.
Since you are using EHP5, I think these services are now obselete. Please check further on this.
As mentioned earlier, you can go for the LSO rather than TEM.

Hi Shanti,
Thank for reply.
I have checked with same user in both consumer & producer portals, In that case its working fine.
If you checked with other consumer users its asking password.
For this I have tried usermapping with producer id under goto personolize -->remote iviews --> select default alias -->enter id/pwd and save for other consumer id.
How we manage for all consumer users, is there any option to mapping to all users at time.
really appriciate your inputs.

Missing MSS iViews in Federated Portal Network

Hello, portal gurus, we have a FPN related issue that hope some of you can help.
We have two portal systems that we set up as a Federated Portal
Network. One producer portal, verision is 7.0, SP11, and one
consumer portal, version is 7.0 SP13. We installed the ESS and MSS business
packages in the producer portal. Those business packages came with the SAP NetWeaver
2005 installation, and they are working ok on the producer portal.
In addition, we were able to do the remote role assignment in the
consumer portal successfully. The problem is that some of the MSS
links and iViews that are shown up ok in the producer portal are missing from the consumer portal.
Have anyone experienced the same issue? Is it because the dismatch of the SP level causing the issue? Are there any fixes to this issu?
Thanks a lot for any input!
Jane

Hi Jane,
PCD content and KM content are two different things and they have different transport mechanism.
If you want to transport PCD content to another portal go to System Administration/Transport/Transport Package/Export. In PCD tree in any place create transport package and add to it objects which you need (folders, roles, worksets, iviews and so on) and save transport package file localy on your computer or server. After that go to the system where you want to locate your content. Go to System Administration/Transport/Transport Package/Import If you save tranport file localy on your computer chose client and upload tranport file.
KM transport very clear describe here How to Export KM Contents by ICE protocol using Offline Channel Beside this way you can transport KM content use program Portal Drive (very useful program especially when you need quickly transport some KM files from one portal to another).

Dmitriy

CRM factsheet and BI 7.0 Web-Templates in Federated Portal Network Scenario

Hi All,
i have some essential questions regarding a Federated Portal Network Scenario.
Our costumer works with 1 CRM-Portal (CRM 5.0, EP 7.0) and 1 BI-Portal (BI/EP 7.0).
He decided to implement a Federated Portal Network, using the CRM-Portal as the Consumer-Portal.
In the CRM-Portal we are working with the Business Package for SAP_CRM which also comprises Reports that are called from the BI.
The BI-Reports (BI 7.0 Web Templates) are now stored in the BI-Portal
How i can assign these BI-Reports (producer) into the factsheet of the CRM-Portal (consumer)?
Is that generally possible that the facsheet of the Consumer Portal (CRM) works togehther with BI 7.0 Web Templates from the Producer-Portal (BI)?
Best regards
Mustafa Darwish

It's been solved.
See note: 1058268 - BI 7.0 WebTemplates do not run in CRM 5.0 specific iViews

Questions on Federated Portal Network

Hi All,
I have a few questions on Federated Portal Network. Please if someone can provide appropriate answers
It is said that the look n feel will be same. Will the consumer have the look n feel of the producer or the producer application will have the look n feel of the consumer portal. Also, if it is required for the content of the producer portal to maintain it's own look n feel, is it possible
How to take care of the performance bottlenecks. Are there any standards available to improve the performance
Any limitation on the no of producer portals which can be configured with the consumer portal
If one portlet, has undergone some kind of change, then how is the consumer portal notified of this. Is there some kind of synchronization mechanism that takes place or this change is implicitly conveyed to the consumer portal, both in the case of Remote Delta Link or Remote Role Assignment
How does the session management work between the consumer portal and producer portal
What is meant by transitive content sharing
Regards
Nikhil

Hi Rasmus,
Is your consumer portal required High Availability? A scheduled re-bounce of the instance should help (weekly, monthly, etc.) as a preventive measure. Maybe you can observe to see how long does it take before the problem comes back (after a full cache refreshed) and then schedule your re-bounce accordingly. As much as we try to do our best, "things" happen
Or, you can adjust your cache settings (e.g. reduce the maxValidityPeriodInSecond property) to avoid the problem.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/5b/9f2d4293825333e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
According to the following link, the cache stores only semantic objects (iViews, pages, layouts and roles); since worksets are not semantic objects, could that be why?!

ERP2005 MSS reporting in a federated portal network

Hello,
We are implementing ERP2005 MSS on a federated portal network, and were facing a problem with the MSS reporting IView (application mss~rpt).
When we execute this function on the producer portal (the portal connected to the ECC backend, with the BPs and Webdynpros), the IView launches well, a report can be selected and finally in the second step, the button Report Results opens up a new portal window. The URL of this window contains a navigation target which points to an IView of the standard ERP2005 Business Package:
NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/com.sap.pct/line_manager/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.roles/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.manager_self_service/com.sap.pct.mss.hcm.rpt.iac
This IView will then launch a session which starts Internet service HRWPC_FC_EXEC on the integrated ITS. Directly on the producer everything works fine and the report is displayed in an ITS session perfectly. Works as designed so far
However, when we execute this on the consumer portal (with remote role assignment) a popup window opens when clicking the button Report Results, and nothing happens no report.
The cause of this is that the external popup window links to the consumer portal, and NOT the producer portal. Since the business package is not deployed on the consumer portal, the navigation target cannot be found and no content is displayed.
Now, the quick and dirty solution would be to deploy the BP on the consumer portal, but this is of course not in the strategy of federated portal. Displaying the report in the same window should also do the trick, but I didnt find any option to do this.
Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this without having to deploy the BP on the consumer portal?
Best Regards,
Jos

Here are some tips.
Firstly, make sure you use NWA to read the exact error in Default Trace. If you are experiencing the 'User Authentification' error or needing to add the Super Admin role to J2EE_GUEST, then it is highly likely that you have an SSO problem between your consumer and producer. Try a simple test...Log on to the consumer and then type or copy in the url of your producer. Are you getting the logon page? If so then SSO is definately not working. You can try vice versa as well but for simple fed scenarios, producer to consumer is not required.
You should not have to modify settings in Visual Admin. You can do it directly in NWA Trusted Systems. Client is referring to the client number of your JAVA engine...Don't worry about any BASIS administrators who insist JAVA has no clients! The default client is 000 but this may have ben changed - its a ConfigTool setting in UME. You can see it in NWA Trusted Systems. It tells you the client number of the portal you are logged into. You must ensure that when you load up this portal's certificate, the client field must be as it is set here.

Federated portal network - missing tab on consumer role

Hi,
We're on EP 7.01, SP4, and on two occantions we've had problems with missing tabs on a consumer role in our federated portal network setup. An entire workset on both occations is missing from the RDL-shared role. In the two cases the problem has been observed on different roles with two different worksets. When analyzing the RDL-shared roles, the producer role is fine but the consumer role is simply missing the attached workset. If the role is copied to the consumer again, the workset is still missing.
A full synchronization solves the problem.
The RDL-mechanism has been running fine for over half a year, so its quit odd that we now experience this issue.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar?
Kind regards,
Rasmus

Using GRC in a Federated Portal Network

Hi All,
We are usning a Federated Portal Network and would like to do Role provisioning through GRC.I know that GRC can do role provisioning in one single portal.
I would like to find out if it can be done in a Federated Portal Environment in which I have a Consumer and Producer Portal.
In Simple Terms - I would like to Assign a role that is present in the Producer Portal through the Consumer portal (This is called as Remote Role Assignment) using GRC.
Can anyone please help me with this.
Any thoughts will be very helpful.
Best Regards,
Vivek

Hi Vivek,
I have worked with CUP and EP and it works fine. I have not used CUP with Federated Portal so I don't have idea about this. It seems it will act something like CUA for EP. Am I correct?
CUP works with CUA but for that, it has to bec configured for CUA. I don't see any separate configuration for Federate Portal. Can you open a Customer message with SAP about this?
I doubt this will work but it is worth a try. Please let me know about the outcome.

Federated Portal Network FPN: exception Remote Delta Links rdl

Consumer Portal version: 7.01 SP2
Producer Portal version: 7.00 SP15
I always receive an exception when i try to preview a remote delta link.
I think I've setted up correctly the trust relationship between my portals. Because when I log on to my consumer portal and I open the producer portal in the same browser I don't need to give my user credentials. This is a simple test to see if the the trust relationship is working...
In the portal content studio I'm able to see my portal producers and their content. There is also no problem to copy for eg. an url iView from my producer to the portel content of my consumer portal as local content. when I try to preview my iView I receive a runtime error!
Anyone who'd like to share some ideas? Known issues?
Thanks

I've posted my solution in this thread:
Re: Federated Portal Network FPN: exception Remote Delta Links rdl
My problem is already solved!
Thanks anyway,

Hi Kiran,
You should be able to find the answers to the questions you posted in the FPN documentation set on teh SAP Help Portal, which you can find here: <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/5b/9f2d4293825333e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/5b/9f2d4293825333e10000000a155106/frameset.htm</a>.
Note that the documentation assumes you have prior portal experience. The solution is based on NW2004s.
If you have any comments (good and bad) about the documentation feel free to post to this thread.

Federated Portal Network not working - specific scenario!

hi,
I tried to implement Federated Portal Network between three systems.
2 Producers
1 Consumer.
The systems i use are in the following fashion
Producer 1: Sneak Preview NW04s EP700 SP09
Consumer : Sneak Preview NW04s EP700 SP09
Producer 2: NW04s Full Version (EP 700 + BI 7.0) SP09
The scenario between Producer1 and Consumer works fine. I'm able to see the roles that are in the Producer1 from my consumer.
But the scenario between Producer2 and my COnsumer doesn't work. I'm not even able to see any roles that are there in my producer from my consumer.
Can someone tell me why this is happening? Is there anyother configuration that i need to do in extra to this if i'm using an ABAP+Java System?
I've followed http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/5b/9f2d4293825333e10000000a155106/content.htm
this link for my Configuration.
Kindly Help.

Hello,
We were able to resolve the issue by removing the proxy settings on both portals. We think it was something in the SPS17 support pack that made these settings obsolete.
On both portals, navigate to System Administration u2192 System Configuration u2192 Service Configuration.
Go to the Portal Catalog, navigate to the com.sap.portal.ivs.httpservice application.
Open the proxy service.
Remove the proxy server property values, as necessary and leave the defaults for Proxy Server.
NOTE: We are using a reverse proxy and we did have to define its settings in the proxy service. But after installing SPS17 we had to remove them and restart both portals. This resolved our FPN issues.
Thank you,

Federated portal network to set a chat between different portals

Hi,
We need to set a chat between <b>two different portals</b> (each portal is placed in a different geographical location). Our doubt is if it's possible create the chat using a federated portal network.
We think if we create the chat in the producer portal (enabling collaboration launch pad, instant messaging, etc. etc.) and after we use <b>remote content copy</b>, a user from the consumer portal can access to chat configured in the producer using producer's iViews and collaboration services.
Is this scenario possible? Do we have to use remote role assigment instead of remote content copy?
Thanks in advance,
Samantha.

There are two discussions going on same topic, we are heading nowhere, please take a part.
