Open navigation-tree from URL-iView

Hi,
i've created a simple URL-iView as an overview (visualization of single process-steps) for reachable iViews for a special role.
Now the problem is, that the links in this iView shall not point directly to another iView, but rather simply open the corresponding knot of the navigation-tree on the left side, so that the user can easy navigate to the wanted iView. Is it possible to do this, or do I always have to point directly to an iView?
I hope, I could get my problem across to you - sorry for my bad english!
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Chris

Instead of a URL- iview, put your infomation in repositories and try a KM navigation i-view.

Open web page from URL iview in maximized window

Hi,
I would like to open a web page in a <b>maximized</b> browser window, using an URL iView.
I know how to open a window in a separate window, I just can't get it maximized.
N.B. I do <b>NOT</b> want to open in <b>fullscreen</b> mode, i.e. I want a title bar and menus.
Does anyone know how to do it?
I tried to play around with the "window function" property of the iView, but no luck so far. I can't specify a fixed width and height of the target window at design time, as these values may vary at runtime.
regards
Lothar

Hi Lothar,
Yes, That will require Java Coding, Its true. Basically what the problem here is that to maximize we are trying to fetch the Screen resolution dynamically through Portal that Portal is not allowing us. Thats why I feel that we should go for Java Programing, Create a Par, Deploy it in the server and then create iView for that.
For Creating the Abstract Portal Component for Opening a Maximized Window You should do following steps.
1. Open Your NWDS
2. Create a project ie Portal Application
3. Create Portal Object ie Abstract Portal Component.
Now here is the piece of code that may help you
          response.write("<SCRIPT language=javascript>");
          response.write("function onOpenWindow()");
          response.write("{");
          response.write("window.open('http://abc.com','windowName','width=screen.availWidth,height=screen.availHeight,resizable=yes')");
          response.write("}");
          response.write("</SCRIPT>");
          response.write("<a href = \"javascript:onOpenWindow()\">abc.com</a>");
Paste this code in doContent...
I think it may help you
Thanx & Regards

Need to send cookie to non-SAP backend from URL iView

Hi,
I have a backend application which takes a cookie for
(non-SAP) SSO purposes. I have created an URL iView
in my EP 6.0 SP2 that correctly displays the content
of that web page, i. e. the login screen.
However, even when I have a cookie in my browser, it still
displays that login screen, i. e. the cookie is either
not sent or not recognized.
I then created a simple test servlet on a backend server
that prints the contents of all the HTTP headers. When
I connect my browser directly to that page, I can see
the cookie. When I connect my iView to that URL, I
do not see the cookie. So apparently the iView does
not send the cookie.
As I learned, in EP 6.0 SP3 there is a "Fetch Mode"
property for URL iViews which allow to define whether
the URL in the URL iView should be retrieved by the
server or the client. This seems to indicate that in
SP2, always the server issues that request, which would
explain why there is no cookie in the request (since only
the browser holds these cookies). So I presume if I
would use SP3 with Fetch-Mode set to Client, this might
work. But then again, this fetch mode is not really
encouraged by the documentation and only recommended
if you are really desparate ...
So the question basically is:
- are my assumptions above correct?
- is there a way to have the EP server send cookies to
my backend systems with SP2?
I'm a little puzzled that this doesn't work out of the
box, since my understanding was that SAP SSO tokens are
also transported to backend systems using cookies, and
this is supposed to be on by default for EP. So I was
expecting to see at least the SAP SSO tokens in all
HTTP requests to backends. Apparently, the world is
not that easy.
Any insights would very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Matthias

Additional thoughts:
In general your assumptions are correct. When using client side fetch mode then the cookie should be forwarded, and I would not expect problems there. When using server side mode then the cookie domain changes and becomes the portal domain, and as a result the cookie is kept in the browser, but is a little useless. I'm not 100% familiar with how we solve this problem when using SSO2 cookie in server side. Yoav, can you elaborate ?
The reason the documentation was not in favor of client side is because at the time the idea was to encourage the users to use the portal server cache. However, this seems less relevant now, because only the first request will be cached, but not the inner calls of the html page.
Bottom line - I don't see any issue with using client side, and actually the default in FP is client side. So I would simply modify the iview to use it.

Navigating values from one iview to another

HI,
We have created an Iview in Visual composer and has provided some "Name" and "EPCM Event".
Now when i click on a button i shud pass a values called "Number" from this iview to another iview which is not a Visual composer iview.
Can i know how can i link this 2 iviews and also how to capture that EPCM event to show the value in second iview.
Regards,
Raju

Hi,
The value is stored in cookies in the Client. EPCM databag APi should help you
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/68/322a9261c54e51b7965f86aac3dae2/frameset.htm
save method writes to the cooke (from 1st iView) and load method gets the value from the cookie(from the 2nd iView).
Event is required only if you have both the iViews in the same page and want to show the update immediatly

Pass parameters dynamically to url iview from web dynpro abap

Hi,
I am trying to pass 3 key-value pairs via absolute navigation to a URL iview.
The url expected is : http://www.sap.com?field1=value1&field2=value2&field3=value3
For this, I have done the following:
1) Created a url iview with the 3 parameters in get.
2) Used the pcd location of the url iview and referred it in the navigate_absolute method.
Following is the call:
        CALL METHOD lr_port_manager->navigate_absolute
          EXPORTING
            navigation_target   = wa_navigation-target
            navigation_mode     = wa_navigation-mode
            use_sap_launcher    = abap_false
            business_parameters = l_bus_parameter_tab.
The l_bus_parameter_tab has the key-value pairs populated and I can see them populated.
However, when the url is being called the parameters are not getting passed. Am I missing anything to be passed?
Thanks.

Hi Kumar,
I have followed your reccomendation and updated the code and iview properties.
The code now looks like:
        l_parameter-key = 'userid'.
        l_parameter-value = sy-uname.
        INSERT l_parameter INTO TABLE l_bus_parameter_tab.
        l_parameter-key = 'portal'.
        l_parameter-value = 'test'.
        INSERT l_parameter INTO TABLE l_bus_parameter_tab.
        l_parameter-key = 'mode'.
        l_parameter-value = 'I'.
        INSERT l_parameter INTO TABLE l_bus_parameter_tab.
*End of business parameters population
        CALL METHOD lr_port_manager->navigate_absolute
          EXPORTING
            navigation_target   = wa_navigation-target
            navigation_mode     = wa_navigation-mode
            use_sap_launcher    = abap_true
           business_parameters = l_bus_parameter_tab.
            launcher_parameters = l_bus_parameter_tab.
However, when the method is called, it does nothing and the url does not get called.
When I manually add parameters to the url iview and preview it, it does the job.
For some reason, these parameters are not getting passed to the url iview or page.
Is there a limitation that parameters cant be passed to url iviews?

Roles and Navigation Tree

Hi everybody,
I have a portal role that contain the few worksets and the few pages in a "tree" structure.
How could I show this "tree" structure in an portal application ?
Thanks for any feedback
Regards.
Altafin

Hello Detlev,
Firstly, thanks for your fast feedback. I'll try to be more specific.
Similar with the Navigation Tree from PDK docs, I want to show a role with it's all "nodes" and "subnodes"(worksests and pages).
In the Navigation Tree, from the user environment I obtain the root and started from it, I build the all it's subnodes. In Navigation Tree example the root is "absolute root" and subnodes are portal standard roles(System Administration, Content Management, Java Development etc).
Similar with the above example, I want that the root to be a role's folder. From this folder's root, I wish to get the it's worksets and pages, in a tree structure.
Best Regards.

URL iView - Open in new window - User Action Independent

Hello Experts,
What has been configured:
I have built an I URL iview and set its paramater to open in a new window. I have assigned the iview to a role. I have also assigned a quicklink to the iview
Name: xyz
quick link: xyz
quick link url: https://<domain>/irj/portal/xyz
What has been tested:
When I log in to the portal using the test user ID and click (user action) on xyz the destination URL pops up in a new window as expected.
When I access the iview via the quick link it loads the destination URL in the same portal window (no pop up)
What do I need:
We will be using the quick link to get to SAP portal from another legacy portal and I want to hit the target URL as soon as I access the quick link without being taken to the portal page in which the target URL content is rendered. I also do not want to have the user click on the/a link to navigate to the target URL.
Things as they stand:
The destination URL is hitting a standalone WD ABAP object which is not hosted in SAP portal content. The SAP portal has to be used because the logon ticket issued by the portal is also used to login to the server hosting the WD ABAP.
Please let me know if you think this is something that can be achieved.
Many thanks,
Prashanth

Hi,
2. It is not possible to hide it completely or disable it. Give this a try:
Create a Static HTML page and create a link in that which will take you to quick link page/iview.
or you can create a custom application which will call the application underlying the quicklink on click of a link.
3. For removing the History, Back and Forwards links in Page Title Bar, follow the below:
In Portal navigate to Content Administration - Portal Content - Content Provided by SAP - End User Content - Standard Portal Users - Open the Default Framework Page
With the Framework Page - you will find Page Title Bar iView - Open the iview and go to iView Property
Show Back/Forward Links and Show History List by default this setting is set to Yes. change teh setting to No and you will not be seeing those in the page title bar.
NOTE: If you make this change it is applicable to all other pages and iViews. So be cautious before making the change.
Hope this helps.
cheers-
Pramod

URL iview opening in new window problem

Hi All,
I am using customized top level navigation (developed using byEPCM method).
I created URL iview and pointed "http://www.google.com" . (Launch in New Window = Displaly in sepearte window) .I have assigned this iview to a role as delta link. When naigating this iview, it is opening in new window. But it is showing "Permission Denied script error". And also, it is not displaying url as "http://www.google.com" .
If I navigate via standard top level navigation, it is working fine. Please help to solve this problem.

Hi,
Check authentication related properties of iView. Make sure all of them are set to lowest level or none

Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

Why would certain users not be able to open a mail to url from a Flash swf on my website?

1. Because they're using Android or iOS and can't see the Flash container.
2. Because they have Flash Player, but NOT Shockwave, which works for Interactive content like games and links in Flash containers.
3. ActiveX controls are blocking Flash content in IE.
4. Any of about a dozen other things.
As a web desginer since 2003, I can tell you that these days, it's a terrible idea to have Flash content in a website (outside of games that require it). Video should be HTML5. Navigation, content and other links should be HTML, CSS and/or Javascript ONLY, because placing them in a Flash container makes them invisible to literally half of your viewers or more, since SmartPhones can't and don't see Flash, and tablets don't either without special browsers, which may or may not work with embedded links.

How to access KM documents from detailed navigation tree area in EP???

Hello Gurus,
I want to simulate the portal navigation. I want to show a page also with a detailed navigation tree with links to several KM documents on left frame and a content area for such content files on right frame.
I have decided to modify standard par file "com.sap.portal.navigation.lightdetailednavigationtree" and I tried to modify JSP to show dinamically several links to KM documents applying logic based on webdynpro tutorial "Using Knowledge Management funcionality in Web Dynpro applications". But a runtime error occurs. I don´t know if I must add sharing references in portalapp.xml for using such classes and also I don´t know the way to do it.
It would be really grateful if somebody could guide me through this issue or give me another more proper solution.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.
Rosa

Hi javier,
If u want to access KM documents in some different format then ur default KM navigation Iview.
Then please have a look at this blog. It will really help you:

Error "EPCF Undefined" in URL Iview after upgrading portal from 7.0 to 7.3

Hi All,
We have upgraded our portal from 7.0 to 7.3 recently. After upgrade when we are trying to open URL iviews(which will open a page in a sesparate window) it is giving some error in left bottom corner of browser. The error is as follows
Message: 'EPCM' is undefined
Line: 463
Char: 1
Code: 0
URI: http://<host>:50100/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=navurl://25fd58cd6bc575491c6b9c692e5debd6&InitialNodeFirstLevel=true&windowId=WID1318828789495
Please let me know the solution to solve this issue.
Thanks & regards,
Sandeep

Hi sandeep ,
Hence the problem was not there with previous versions where the .js files were simply not compressed by default.
Solution :
I believe switching off javascript compression is a suitable option in this case as the script files are usually cached by the browser as well and will not be transmitted every time.
Kindly follow these steps:
1. Enter the J2EE Config tool.
2. drill down: Global Server Configuration->services->http
3. on the right hand side, click on NeverCompressed
4. on the bottom, add at the end: ,*.js
5. Apply the changes
6. restart the J2EE.
After this clear the browser cache and then log onto the portal and check if the issue gets resolve
I hope it will useful to you.
Thanks@ Re grads

Url Iview from SAP Portal to Infoview encounters "Access is denied"

Hi
We are using URL Iview to point to Business Objects Infoview from SAP Portal. Our requirement is to launch the Infoview within the portal content area. We are able to preview the iview, but encounter "Access is denied" error when we add the iview to page, we realised that we are only able to launch infoview when it is setup to open in a new window.
Is there a way where we can show the Infoview in portal content frame.
Regards
Kamal

Hi experts,
i got the same problem how to integrate the InfoView Appl into the "Portal Content Area" and not only as an new Window.
When i try to analyse the problems, the error stacks say some thin about that an Java Script is trying to change the browser size and the portal is not allowing this... thats my assumptions.
Has anybody how we could solve this tricky topic ?
For details to to customize the URL iView please refer to this thread: Integration of InfoView into SAP Portal using SSO
kind regards

How to open URL iView in new window

HI,
We are not able to open the URL iView, which is assigned to page, in new window.
We set the property "Launch in New Window" to Launch in Separate Window but no use.
Please let us know the solution
Thanks

Hi Tatayya,
Remove the delta-link that you have done for that iview to the page. Change the necessary settings on the iview level (skip this part if you have already done). Then re-"delta-link"the iview to the page and test if it open in a different window.
Could also be your cache, so go ..navigate via Sys adm--> Navigation -> clear cache.
Hope that helps.
