Portal Light Framework

Hi,
I am using the light framework page, but currently on the right panel getting where you hover on this side of the page a "Content Area" label appear.
This appears to be generated in a <span> tag. Anyone know how this can be removed or changed??
Is this part of the framework and the tag
<workAreaContainer>
Can this be changed?
Thanks

Stuck while using Light Framework feature of Portal

Hi All,
We are using the light framework feature of portal, having one level navigation layer, provided as tabs in the Top Level. The corresponding pages,iviews are being displayed in the detailed navigation layer.So far Further, navigation to iviews or pages present in different workset/page is being done using the Hashed short URL of the perticular iview.
Following are the things where we are stuck,
1)We have two webdynpro iviews available under different tabs.We can navigate between them but not able to pass any parameters. This is where we are stuck. We tried using passing it along with the short uRL, setting in cookie, nothing seems to be working...Also we We do not want to use EPCM navigation, so that we can avoid navigation using pcd location.
2) For some of the tabs in the first level, there is no detailed navigation i mean no inner pages/iviews. When we click on it, the page seems to be getting shifted towards right with blank space on the left side. This blank space seems to be occupied by the detailed navigation with no contents in it.the iviews are aligned properly if DTN has some links in it.
Please help, its bit urgent.

Hi Sujesh,
Thanks a lot for your answers.
1) Yah i know that params sharing in webdynpro is done thru context variables..What i want is to pass params from one WD iview to another WD iview embedded in the portal in differen worksets. SO in this case, context sharing can not be used, if i am correct. So for that we tried setting values in cookies/sessions, but of no help.Whats the correct ways to do it. Please help
2) For that tab, there is no further navigation, only one page,added as the top entry with some ivews embedded in it. When we open the tab, blank space of DTN size comes in the left.
Please help us..

Problem with Absolute Navigation (External Window) and Light Framework Page

Hi All,
We are using Light Framework page for the portal devolopment. We have an application including two webdynpro iviews where absolute navigation is used to traverse from first iview to second iview (When user clicks a button on first iview). We are showing the second iview in external window (SHOW_EXTERNAL). When ever i clicks the button to traverse to second iview, i am getting an exception.
When we are showing it in same window (SHOW_INPLACE), it is working fine. But the iview is appeared in half of the page with scrollbars. It is working fine with default framework page (with both options SHOW_INPLACE and SHOW_EXTERNAL) and dispalyed in original size as mentioned in iview properties.
Could you please suggest us whether there is any work around for this.
Thanks,
Sudheer

Hi Kathiresan
I couldn't see the address bar of the window (In which second iview is getting displayed). But i can observe no parameters that i passed from first iview is visible in the view source of the second iview (When SHOW_EXTERNAL is used in absolute navigation). I could see all the parameters in the view source (when SHOW_INPLACE is used for absolute navigation). But i am using the same url for both the options (for SHOW_INPLACE and SHOW_EXTERNAL).
I doubt about the url being passed when SHOW_EXTERNAL option is used. But when we checked in debug, The correct url is being triggered (Atleast from first iview). Is there any way that could display the second window with address bar. What is making difference between SHOW_INPLACE and SHOW_EXTERNAL with absolute navigation and light framework page.
Could someone please suggest.
Thanks,
Sudheer.

Customizing Light Framework and desktop

We have an internal need for using the light framework and desktop. I don't like to modify the SAP provided items but instead would rather create delta links and modify those.
I created a delta link of
-Light Desktop (contains my CSS and my light framework page)
-Light FrameworkPage
-Light Detail Navigation (changing the start at navigation level to 1)
-Searched and found the Light Detailed Navigation Page did a delta link copy and then modified it
Modified the delta link copy of the Light Framework Page
Here's the rub - I'd like to modify the Light Desktop Innerpage. I'm hitting the wall here. I created a new page but the layout needed (Light Navigation Panel & Content Area Layout) doesn't show. Can't find the Light Desktop Innerpage in the portal content (it's there via the properties of the framework page - but finding that page I can't seem to find it.
So - how do I create my own desktop innerpage (would like to base it on light desktop innerpage)?
Regards,
Diane

Hi
The par file for Desktop inner page is com.sap.portal.innerpage
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b4/771158e4cb4bf6af9974380948db86/frameset.htm
The desktop inner page is on of the iview present in DefaultFramework page of Portal which is a single portal page containing default iViews and pages.
The default framework page supplied with SAP NetWeaver Portal provides the navigational and structural components required to navigate and operate the portal. we can modify the default framework page or create our own framework pages to meet the requirements.
Its Location in Portal Catalog: Portal Content -> Portal Users -> Standard Portal Users -> Default Framework Page (pcd:portal_content/every_user/general/frameworkpage)

Add to favourites disabled when using light framework page

Hi,
When using the light framework page our "add to favourites" link is disabled. If we instead use the normal framework page add to favourites in the dropdown menu works. Does anyone have an idea why this could be?

Hi,
The reason why I decide to use Light Framework, itu2019s because Iu2019m creating an EFP, and Iu2019m using the WPC to publish the content (articles, news, and link list), using the standard Web Forms.
The problem is, after adding to a WPC Page something so simple like an article (using the Web Form Article), no Portal iView, HTMLB or other stuff included, the preview of the WPC Page using the Default Framework Page is ok, but when using the Light Framework Page, the text in the article doesnu2019t have the correct font-family. It looks like there are some styles missing in the Light Framework Page, that WPC content is expecting.

Light framework difference in source code

Hello Portal gurus --
We have many users accessing our Portal from home (and using a dial-up connection) so we are experimenting with the Light Framework to reduce the load time. However, when we test with a dial-up connection, it's difficult for us to tell if we're actually pulling down all of the javascript that's supposed to be excluded with the Light Framework or not.
Can anyone tell me what changes in the source of the Portal page when it IS using the Light Framework, versus pulling down all the javascript? When I do a View Source on the page, I still see a LOT of javascript includes, and it's quite possible that we have an iView or something on the page that's still forcing it. But we're only making guesses, since we're not sure what actually changes in the source when it's light.
Any help or guidance in this area would be greatly appreciated, and points awarded. Thank you!

The easiest way of seeing whether you are using the light framework is to look for a javascript file with the text workarea. If you are using the light framework, then the file will be light_workArea.js. There are a few other javascript files that should have the word light in them also.
Also, if you want to cut the page sizes down even further, then I would recommend any components to set the EPCFLevel property to have a value of 0. This means that the epcf.js file is not downloaded, and this file is also quite large
I hope this helps. Also, you should see that the light framework looks slightly different to the standard one

Performance Light Framework page and R/3 transactions

Hello,
I have a customer running an enterprise portal 6.0 containing basically R/3 transaction iViews.
Some of the users of this solution are using fairly low bandwidth and are complaining about performance problems.
My question is whether there is anything to gain from switching to the light framework page, or is the loading of the R/3 transaction the main bottleneck.
Has anyone made an estimate of the performance gains obtained by using the light framework page over the standard ones?
I have just found one such estimate on this forum, indicating a size improvement of almost a magnitude of 8 (100K vs 800K) (thread: portal performance optimization over low speed links)

Here is the text that explains the disappointing restriction in the release of External Facing Portal with KM in NW04s SP5 and NW04 SP14.
NOTE 709354 relevant snippet below>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Release with restrictions
Knowledge Management in external facing portals
Knowledge Management is released in a restricted way for scenarios where the external facing portal capabilities of NW'04 SP 14 are used (i.e. reducing the network load by using the 'light framework page' concept of the portal): - KM iViews will work within the light framework page without erros. However, the network load will not be decreased since the navigation within the KM iViews requires the full range of scripts to be downloaded from the portal. - Browser Back/Forward navigation within KM will not work in all cases - Indexing of KM content by external search engines (Google, etc.) will not work on all content In addition, the general usage of KM in scenarios where untrusted (e.g. with a self-registered user ID) or anonymous users are accessing an external facing portal is recommended in a restricted way only to avoid upload of malicious files or code (e.g. disable file upload or discussion forum entries). This recommendation is true even if the 'light framework page' concept of NW'04 SP14 is NOT used. For more information on how to enable KM (and Collaboration) for anonymous users, please refer to the following notes. SAP NetWeaver '04 SP11 and below: Note 728106. SAP NetWeaver '04 SP12 and higher: Note 837898.

Problem in EPCM in Light Framework

Hi All,
We are using 2004s EP 7.0.
We are implementing external facing portal using light framework for anonymous users. All the portal objects have anonymous authorization.
We have an iView in framework with code:
<a href ="javascript:open("ROLES://<pcd path>");">LINK</a>
And in the script tags:
<script language = "Javascript">
EPCM.doNavigate(pageID);
</script>
The iview corresponding to the pcd path is assigned to a role. But when we click on LINK it opens the iview but throws an error in Top Level and DetailLevel navigation Iview. But the same thing works fine in default framework.
Thanks,
Sarang

Hi Sarang,
Light Framework does not support EPCF. Light framework has some limitations and this is one of them. For more details about the limitations of LF, see the SAP note number: <b>853509</b>. You can also refer the documentation at help.sap.com
Hope this helps you.

ESS Business Package with External Facing / Light Framework

Hi all,
We are using an external facing portal with light framework page and we now start with ESS/MSS Business Packages.
Unfortunately e.g. ESS szenarios aren't working in our framework. I found out, that "strange" urls are used and that the session is terminated with the dsm.Terminator
(http://XXXX/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.dsm.Terminator)
Strange url which is called within light framework:
Browser submitted values to
http://XXXX/irj/portal?standAlone=true&WebDynproNamespace=sap.com/pcui_gp~xssutils&WebDynproApplication=XssMenuArea&DynamicParameter=sap.xss.menuhdr%3DSAPDEFAULT%26sap.xss.menuargrp%3DSAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005%26sap-epcm-guid%3D4B4BF671AD569E176974193671944A9426C53F2A1765A289E821F4F42AF23713%26sap.xss.menuarea%3DEMPLOYEE_SEARCH_ERP2005&HistoryMode=0&windowId=WID1216035848750
If I use ESS with the default desktop it works.
I found the following Note with restrictions for External Facing Portal and Light Framework Page:
Note 916545 - Central Note for External-Facing Portal (NW 7.0) =>
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/916545
Here an extract:
=====================================================================
IV RESTRICTIONS
=====================================================================
Unsupported Content: SAP business packages and applications that use the EPCM's WorkProtect Mode feature may not work properly when using the light framework page. (e.g. Web Dynpro based applications of the portal administration UI or custom build applications.)
What does may not work properly mean? Does anyone know if there are some "features" that makes it possible to run ESS szenarios in an external facing portal?
Is it possible to activate the WorkProtected Mode and Session Termination in the framework having in mind that some performance gain for the light framework is gone?
How did you implement ESS?
Thanks and regards,
Stefan

Hi Gopal,
I already tried to replace e.g. in the inner page the Light Content Area iview with the normal Content Area iView.
With this change at least the height of the Overview Page will be displayed correct.
I'm still facing other problems that the DSM Terminator is being called regardless of the EPCF level (0, 1, 2).
Changing the epcf level doen't change anything.
Do you know what's the technical difference between the Light Content Area iView and the normal one?
Regards,
Stefan

No style applied when using light framework and WPC content

Hi,
Iu2019m facing a strange behavior, and Iu2019m almost pretty sure that is an error in the WPC, but I decided to post it here, maybe someone can confirm it. When using both, Light Framework and WPC, for some reason, the text inserted in the WPC containers, using the Web Forms, doesnu2019t appear correctly (no style/font applied), but viewing the same information, using the Default Framework Page, it works correctly.
Any hint?
Thanks and Regards,
John

Light framework and custom iViews

Does anyone know why the "heavy" framework is used on custom iViews? We have developed several custom iViews and when we tested them in the light framework, they always pull down the "heavy" framework Javascript. I created a very simple Hello World iView without HTMLB and without a sharing reference to HTMLB and yet, when it is displayed, all of the heavy framework Javascript gets pulled in?

Hi Timothy,
Generally custom iviews are built using portal components which use HTMLB or using webdynpro.If this is the case, then the htmlb js and css files will be loaded, and these files are massive.
Also using KM iviews will results in making the framework "heavy".
As rightly pointed out above you should make sure that all the components in your page are having an EPCF level 0(This level generates no JavaScript or Java applet framework functions)
Check the following <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/ce/3e98408d953154e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">link</a> for info on Enterprise Portal Client Framework(EPCF) which is basically used for client side eventing.
You could use some tracing/logging software like HTTP Watch or Webscarab to see what content is actually causing this high network load. Also check if all content is delivered with caching directives so that they will not be reloaded on every subsequent request.
P.S:Reward points if useful.
Regards,
Abhishek.
