Portal Favorites problem

When i save a KM folder to my Portal Favorites..it seems to work fine... but when i save a link to other portal content like "Content Administration/Portal Content" using the "add to Portal favorites" dropdown from the upper right of the page...it adds something to the favorites, but when i pick what was added..it prompts me to save a 0 bite file to my local computer??
when i go back to KM content and browse to userhome/MYUSERID/Favorites it shows 0 bite files???
Anyone have any idea's???

Well you continue to add as a link and click on the link.. this will take you to respective Content admin page...
file size.. will not be a problem as link will still work for you.
have not transporting this link, but i believe this should work.
Sorry if i have not understood your question, please elaborate in that case.
Hope this helps.

Problem with display/layout of Portal-Favorites

Hi community
I've got a little display problem of the Favorites iView in the Portal.
Below you can see three different screenshots of the Portal Favorites. Please disregard the Links itself, the problem is in the border/layout of the whole thing.
[Screenshot|http://www.schuess.net/images/Unbenannt.jpg]
The first picture shows the problem first hand.
In the second picture you can even see that the Favorites seem to be misplaced by 5px. Perhaps they have an absolute position to the browser window?
The third screenshot is the result of setting a border of 5px in the Theme Editor under
Tree -> Border. That's not as intended because a) theres this little 1px-line on the top-left and b) the tree-border stops at the end of the tree nodes.
Please tell me how I can make the Favorites-iView flush or which setting I have to change.
Thanks in advance
Michael

Hi dear reader
My problem is solved.
The Favorites-iView-Property "Isolation Method" had to be changed from "URL" to "Embedded".
Now it looks smooth
Try on

Strange Portal Favorites rendering problem

i have a strange problem with the rendering of the portal favorites iView, on our consolidation System the KM renders a iView icon in front of every entry in the favorites list (see attached image) . Has anybody an idea why this error occurs ?

Version of the Portal ist 6.40 SP18

Hi Peter,
The next step would be to check that the layout set is set the same, and
that this resource render is getting used. You could turn on the debugging
settings to look at exactly which parameters are active by using the
"Rendering Information" link which then shows up. If you have 2 systems
running comparing these might be fruitful, since this should also tell you if
any OTH entries are overriding the settings.
If the resource renderer is set up that way, then is sounds like it is not being
used or is being overridden.

How to edit the short navigation url in portal favorite folder in bulk

Hi,
We have around 100-150 users who have added a specific url in their portal favorite section. This url has changed now and we need to update the same for all the users. We tried using various search and replace tools by connecting using portaldrive. We even wrote a KM API which will do the search and replace. But both these programs are not able to change the .url files whih are created from KM. But if we create the same by portal drive we are able to find and replace.
Regards,
AJ

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the reply.
I guess you have wrongly interpreted the problem, let me more clear on this.
Currently we have around 150 users accessing the portal and suppose they have added a link named ABC with url http://www.abc.com in their favorites. Now if we need to change this url to new one, like http://www.xyz.com, then one solution is, go to Favorites folder of each user in userhome and change there manually. But in case of large no. of user database this will be a cumbersome task, so want to know that how to do bulk replace and find in KM. We have tried developing a KM api and also used a third party tool for the same but all in vain.
Can anyone pls suggest some other way ??

AJ

Portal favorites doesn't work after role change

Dear all,
we encounter the following problem in our EP:
We have an WAD-Template stored in a folder. If a user is assigned to a specific portal role, he can see and execute the report. While executing he is allowed to store the report in his personal portal favorites.
Last week we joined three old portal roles (names: OLD_A, OLD_B and OLD_C) to a new one NEW_A containing all reports of OLD_A, OLD_B and OLD_C. After that we assigned the new role NEW_A to all users formerly assigned to at least one of OLD_A, OLD_B or OLD_C. In addition we unassigned the users from the old roles.
As a consequence the users now see all the reports of the old roles in their portal menu (as they are stored now in NEW_A) BUT the old favorites saved before the role change could not be opened anymore. The following error message appears:
"Page not found or not available"
We found out so far, that the favorite stores the combination of role and iview (in this case OLD_A and the iview-name). If the role changes the pcd-link is different.
Does anyone know this behaviour? How can we change the access pcd-link in the content management manually or by script/program?
Any help is appreciated.
Best regards,
Volker Schmitt

Yes I saw this thread too. However, I think viveknidhi solution is pointless for us since we can not perform this operation manualy for each favorite...
For the moment, based on what I red on forums and sap documentations, there is no workaround. Portal favorites are hardcoded pcd urls to the navigation node. If we modify our roles we will loose related favorites since the navigation node will change.
I hope you will find a solution to move forward.

Urgent: SP9 installation always shows portal favorites

Hi,
I have a problem with the detailed navigation area on my Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP9 installation: It's always visible and shows the portal favorites although there are NO items to show (both in the detailed navigation area and portal favorites area!)...
I think the problem "comes" with the last SP release!
Regards
Joerg

Hi Stefan,
I tryed the solution you said, but does not work.
Do I need to change the property only for "Desktop Innerpage" or is necessary for others objects too?
Another thing is that when I Try to change the property, I got this message:
putMetaAttribute failed for attributeId: com.sap.portal.navigation.ShowAddToFavorites metaAttrId: Inheritance - pcdAttribute not available.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Export/import portal favorites

Hi, we have NW2004 Portal SP16. Is it possible to export/import portal favorites between users? The reason I asked is that we are planning on using 2 LDAP data sources in production and some users will be migrated in Active Directory from companyA.com to companyB.com. We noticed in our development environment that the favorites are gone.
Thanks in advance

I asked OSS and they said :
you should be able to transport these as an
offline package using ICE. It should simply be a case of transporting
over the userhome directory. However, please insure that the user is
a system principal and has full control of all the userhome
directories otherwise you may experience problems with permissions.
Please see the link below regarding transporting Offline content in ICE

FPN - Saving BI Links (KM Bookmarks) to the Consumer Portal Favorites

Hi, I'm posting this message again in hopes that either a mentor, SAP person, or Portal Expert can help. I have received several emails from people looking to do the same thing I am. The problem seems like a major integration gap between Portals and BI.
We use a Federated Portal Network where the Enterprise Portal (EP) is the Consumer Portal and the BI
Portal (BP) is the Producer Portal. BI Report Users access BI Reports from the Enterprise Portal through Remote Role Assignment.
BI Report "Save As" functionality allows you to save a "KM Bookmark" to the BI Portal Favorites. I am specifically looking to save a "KM Bookmark" to the Enterprise Portal(Consumer) Favorites and NOT the BI Portal(Producer). This only makes sense since our users only have access to the Enterprise Portal.
Our users are accessing their BI Reports from the Enterprise Portal and the users would like to save a link (KM Bookmark) to their Enterprise Portal Favorites. Currently, it looks like the "Save As" Functionality for saving "KM Bookmarks" is only allowing (Pointing) us to save the KM bookmarks to our BI Portal.
1. In an FPN Environment can we save a "KM Bookmark" Link to a BI Report into the Enterprise (Consumer) Portal Favorites?
2. If we are in a FPN Environment and users cannot save KM Bookmarks to Enterprise Portal Favorites and can only put "KM Bookmarks" in the BI Portal then how are users to access their links from the Enterprise Portal Environment?
3. Just a note. I think these saved links are called KM Bookmarks. You can see this from the BI Report "Save As" dialog. If you do a search through SAP Documentatiion you do not see a single reference to "KM Bookmark".
4. I have found OSS Note1149597, but I do not believe this addresses this exact issue
If anyone can provide some valuable insight into this Portal and BI Integration it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You,
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Has anyone seen any new information on this? The described behavior makes the BI query "save" function completely useless in the context of an FPN consumer portal.
Note [1149597|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1149597] is very little help as near as I can tell. We tested the "fix" in a DEV environment, and while it technically "resolves" the problem with where the favorites get saved, we end up with all of our BI content actually being "published" to the consumer by the BEx tools. This sort of defeats the purpose of implementing an FPN in the first place, even if the requests are redirected back to the producer by the recommended BEx iView mods.
We have implemented a work-around by creating a RDL in our consumer portal to the producer portal's standard "Portal Favorites" iView. However, we're not happy with this solution as we end up with multiple "favorites" areas in our central consumer portal (one for remote BI content and another for "local" favorites). We also don't want to maintain the favorties that get saved to the producer portal.

I am tired with portal favorites

Hi,
We have installed enterprise portal and added a couple of favorites,
scenario: I logged in as a super admin, went to user adminstration tab and added "create user" page to the Portal favorites. so I was able to see the corresponding link in the portal favorites iview. when i click on that link,
a file dialog window is opened asking to save or open
and when i click on "open", it pops up open with dialog asking to select a webservice or to open using existing program and I selected internet explorer, but it doesnt open
and when i click on "save", in the file save dialog, this doesnt have any file type.
I already tried for the solution in different threads in sdn forum, but my problem is not solved. many of them tell that it might be a problem with browser settings.
I can say that there is no problem with my browser, becuase i accessed two portal installations, one installation (sneak preview edition) works fine with portal favorites links where as not in when accessing ep 6.0 sp12 installation.
I am in urgent need of this as you know that favorites are important for any user.
P.S: URL links works fine in both installations.
Thank you

Hi Koduru,
I read your other post also (clicking a link in portal favorites opens in a new window?).
I tried many setings at many places but could not reproduce your error. But it seems to be a portal problem rather than anything else.
But few things i can suggest. When you say that the Portal Fav works with other installations on your same machine, then you can do the following.
1) Edit both the portal fav iViews and compare the iView properties one by one. My be you will get something here.
2) Also check whether this behaviour is only for Portal Fav iView or any other iView in Dynamic Navigation. Attach some other iView in Dyn Nav and check. I mean you can create a custom (new & diff id) Portal Fav iView and attached in Dyn Nav and check.
3) Or attach the portal fav iView in content area of a custom page and check.
4) Check the Dynamic Nav iView from Portal Framework page and check its properties and compare it with the one which is working.
These are a few things which i can think upon right now.
May be this will not solve your problem quickly but will help in searching for the exact culprit.

Add to portal favorites works only in User-language english

Hi,
i've got a litte problem with the funktion "add to portal favorites".
We use our portal to publish BW-Reports (BW7.0). Our development-language is english.
Both system (BW and EP) are configured in english.
In the portal (EP 7.0) we have the problem, that the "add to portal favorites" funktion works fine when the user-language is english. When the user-language is german only a few iviews can be added to the favorites....
Does anyone have an idee where my bug is?
Christian

Hi Hema,
Try this.
Change the iView properties, these forces all BI reports to fire in EN,
The setting in the iView of Application Parameters and set this to u201CLanguage=ENu201D.Then this Overrides the local setting of the Portal and forces a BW report to fire in EN.
try this link :- Query in Portal User-Language-Independent

BI Portal favorites missing

Hi Guru's,
we do have the problem of periodically missing BI favorites. Actually we don't even know the exact reason. I read about Java Updates and we also made the experience of missing favorites after changing a key figure structure of the according query.
Our end users are really irritated about that as they created their favcorites in hard and time consuming sessions with their key users and finally are working as sales reps and really dont want to have too much contact with such IT things...
So, we are on one hand wondering about the exact reasons for this. What exactly causes that a Portal favorite doesn't work anymore?
And more than that I would like to know... how do you handle this problem? Is there a way of exporting the favorites and later on importing them? And if this works how would I do that and is there a way of getting a favorite list for all users and not selecting them user per user?
So many thanks in advance! Hope you can help me!
Sandra

Open link from portal favorites

Hi all,
When we add some KM Navigation iView to portal favorites and try to open it from portal favorites link it opened with wrong layoutset (not the same layoutset that declarated in original iView). How can we change it?
Thanks,
Ola

Hi Ola,
we had the same problem, that we want to open the KM Folder in our customized layout and not in the standard user layout.
The only way we found to realize this, was to overwrite the standard user layout with our customized layout.
You will have to decide, if you want to change the standard in this case... a better solution we haven't found
Best Regards

Portal Favorites iview always appear in detailed navigation

Hello,
I have a problem regarding the Detailed Navigation with the Portal Favorites iview.
The iview always appears in the Detailed Navigation, although the only thing it shows is the message "there are no items to display" (meaning that there are no favorites). This causes the detailed navigation to always appear even when there is no need for it (no navigation links and no other content attached to it).
I tried removing the Portal Favorites iview (because we don't use that iview in the portal and have no need for it) from the innerpage of the default framework page, and it works, but after the next restart of the portal, the iview returns.
Is there any way to remove it completely so that it won't appear again?
We're running EP7 SP14.
Thanks in advance,
Tal.

Hi,
Create a new framework page by creating a delta link of the original page and then modify that framework page.
Also you will have to create a new portal desktop and use the modified page and also set the desktop rules accordingly.
Thanks,
GLM

IViews saved in Portal favorites - start of these shows no data

Hi experts,
we have WebQueries that are executed in the Protal. After I get the output of the query I save the view under the portal favorites (Save as). This will be done correct. Unfortunately, if I click on the Portal favorite link I get no output.
The screen is complete empty. It seems the execution of the view runs in a endless loop.
Could you give me information to solve the problem and to get the view with all data ,please?
Many thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Marco

In the favourites you are saving a link to start the iView, not the results of running the iView. Let me give another example. If you run an iView that starts an SAP transaction and you enter some data and use the execute button, you see a report or whatever. Using the "Add to portal favourites" only adds the option to start the transaction - you still need to enter your values etc and use execute,
Try saving the portal favourite link before running the query and see what happens.
