8.50 Related Content External URLs

The related content service definition in 8.50 allows parameters to be passed on an external URL. eg. http://myweb.site.com/?parm1=foo&parm2=bar
What I need to do is pass parameters in this form http://myweb.site.com/foo/bar
Anyone got any ideas how I could do this without writing an Iscript?
Thanks
Graham

I assume the IScript solution would be akin to a proxy where the IScript uses %IntBroker.connectorrequesturl to proxy the request or it would use %Response.RedirectURL to transform the querystring into a folder spec URL. The only alternative I can think of is to use a JSP/Servlet/ServletFilter to perform the same function. With JSP, etc, at least you would only have the web server tier, not the app and db server tiers as well. This might cut down on some overhead.
It would be nice if there was some type of pluggable App Class URL generation Meta data that would allow you to write your own URL generation app class for this type of case.

JSF pages to display content from external URLs

Hi,
Is it possible for a JSF page that uses ADF controls, and the PanelPage component to provide menuing, etc. to actually allow a HTML page (accessed via a URL to an external site/application) to be displayed in an area within the JSF page?
For example, clicking a menu item to an external HTML page results in the page being displayed in a Frame or similar within the JSF page?
I've tried the FrameBorderLayout control and Frame control to try to embed a Frame to display such a page via the target setting for a menu item, but that doesn't seem to work. At least not when within a PanelPage. It works within a basic JSP page.
I would have thought it would be possible for a JSF application to incorporate HTML content from other sites/servers as if part of the application. Even if this meant defining "wrapper" pages of some sort to effectively link these into the JSF application as part of it's navigation rules.
Or am I missing something?
Gene

Thanks,
Yes, using an iFrame tag within a verbatim tag worked, allowing me to specify an external URL to a page which is then displayed at the location where I placed the verbatim tag. I need to investigate sizing/border settings, but at least I now seem to be able to embed such pages.
This works.
I tried jsp:include as well, but that only seems to allow relative URLs to pages that a part of the application. And using the c:import JSTL tag would import a page at an external URL, but didn't seem to position it where I wanted it.

I am getting "The contents cannot be displayed in a frame" error when tried to acces an external URL configured through launchpad(ESS). How to rectify it?

Hi Guys,
We have configured ESS role through launchpad. For viewing payslips we are using an external URL configured through launchpad.
But when we try to access the configured link in ESS role, it displays "The contents cannot be displayed in a frame" .
Should I need to change some parameters/settings in Launchpad so that I could overcome this issue.
Guidance required,
Regards,
Ajeeth Kumar S

Hi Shankar Reddy Chamala,
Thanks for the alternate solution.
But the solution you have provided also ended up with the same error
"The content cannot be displayed in a frame" error.
Some additional information so that you could help me out,
The following is the test report .

The tester has mentioned the yellow highlighted property may be a cause for this issue.
I googled that the highlighted property is set by the website owners for security reasons.
Shankar I have another doubt..
Is it feasible to create an HTML document to open the external link and link the HTML document to the iview and then configure the custom iview with launchpad.?
-->If yes can you please elaborate the steps for it.

Providing external url for the fqdn for webfeed returns error in eventlog that shows internal url is being used - how to change to the external url?

I've got my Rdweb accessible on both my internal and external network by using split dns locally to resolve the external url (remote.domain.com/rdweb) to resolve and everything works fine. However users don't want to use the rdweb interface (as it is slower
than just clicking on a rdp shortcut.
Following the notes at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/14488.distribution-of-remote-apps-and-desktops-in-windows-server-2012.aspx - I've tried to set up the webfeed on a Win7+ machine but when I enter the external url that
is protected by an SSL cert the eventlog shows that the internal address is being used and it doesn't match the certificate. - "There is a problem with this connection's security certificate.
The remote computer cannot be authenticated due to problems with its security certificate.
Security certificate problems might indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept data you send to the remote computer.
Windows cannot continue setting up this connection. Contact your workplace administrator for assistance.
Connection name:
Connection URL: https://internalservername/rdweb/feed/webfeed.aspx
How do I set the servers to use the external address rather than the internal one - i'm assuming it's similar to exchange's
Set-webservicesvirtualdirectory command but I can't find the equivalent command documented anywhere.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Please check below mention point.
• Create a relevant DNS entry in the mentioned zone to point to the RDS environment’s internal IP address
• Create a relevant DNS entry in external DNS to point to the firewall which is publishing RDS’s external IP address
• You can use the below mention script to change the FQDN of the RDP files provided by RD Web Access / RemoteApp and Desktop connection feed.
Change published FQDN for Server 2012 or 2012 R2 RDS Deployment

Apart from this, also check the settings under; IIS in RDWeb Server as per below mention path.

Related Content Field Mapping using "Page Field" mapping type

In PeopleBooks it refers to a Page Field mapping type whene mapping fields from the component to it's related content.
Is this a misprint in PeopleBooks, did this feature not make it into 8.50.09 or is this option only available under certain circumstances.
I'm trying to pass a non key field from level 0 to the rel content url.
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this.
Graham

Hi Jim
Thanks for the reply.
It appears that you can't select the "Page Field" mapping type unless you have the related content specified by PAGE ratehr than component.
PBOOKS states Page Field: use when you want to map the service parameter to any level 0 page field.
In the component buffer fields in level 0 could be any page. I was hoping to pass ANY level 0 field through to the Rel Content URL for any page in this component.
Kind regards
Graham

ICE is there a way to allow my client to make External URLs open in new tabs?

Hi.
I have a set my client's site up with lots of editable regions so they can manage content. Although the InContext editor is great for letting my client link to internal pages, documents and external pages I couldn't find where they would select the external URL to open in a new browser tab. Obviously I can go back in and add the html to their links but is there a way they can set the target?
Cheers
David

The sessionstore.js file only exists while Firefox is closed. During shutdown, Firefox writes out that file based (I think) on recovery.js as of that point. When Firefox starts back up again, it reads sessionstore.js and deletes it. So if Firefox is running, it's normal not to see sessionstore.js. Anyway, sessionstore.js is going to be empty now.
Shadow Explorer might already have done this for you, but just in case...
You could try the previous versions feature. This is harder to get to on Windows 8 and 8.1, but I have read about a roundabout way. I can't test this myself, but here's what you do:
Let's say you have a Windows Explorer window open to your current Firefox profile folder. This is something like (with your username and semi-random profile folder name):
C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\blahblah
Click in the address bar and change the C: to
\\localhost\c$
to yield (with your username and semi-random profile folder name)
\\localhost\c$\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\blahblah
Press Enter to reload the folder contents that way.
Now when you right-click recovery.js, recovery.bak, backup.js or sessionstore.js and choose Properties, there should be a Previous Versions tab. Usually the most recent previous version dates back to the last time Windows created a restore point (e.g., system update or possibly scheduled on a more frequent basis).

Open external URL from Homepage Framework

Hi,
We are building our new ESS functionality with Homepage Framework and I need to create some links to external URL. I would like them to open in a different window with no portal header at all. They should appear as services listed in the menu area. While this seems easy, I had tried several things with no success.
First, I created an URL iview in portal content. I marked the option "launch in external window" to Open in a separate window.
I create a resource that pointed to this Iview, and linked resource with a "java webdynpro" service, service with subarea and subarea with area. The service link is displayed correctly but it is always opened in the portal page, not in a different one. Have i forgotten any parameter that would make this work?
A second approach was to create a resource that includes the URL and an associated service, marked as "Direct URL launched in separate window".
This succeds in calling the URL in a differeny window but it adds some strange parameters at the end. So instead of calling http://www.google.com it calls something like http://www.google.com?sap-ext-sid=2J*HeTVW7295w3QWBZhQow--

While some pages can ignore those extra parameters, in other cases, this causes a "page not found" error.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Many thanks in advance to all.

Hi Daniel,
Define Resource: you have to mention all the below details
1. object name :http:// (url ).
2.window name: "".
3.window Property : target="_blank".
and also check define service:
service type: Direct url launched in a seperate window.
And assign resouce to service -
>
service to sub area--->
sub area to area---->
area to areagroup.
hope it helps............,

Linking to related content from WA document

Is there anyway create a related-content link to an FR document from within a WA dashboard, without having the link placed within a grid cell? I would ideally like to use a button, but the "Open Document" services button only allows me to link to another WA document, not FR.
I'm working in WA Studio on Hyperion System 9.
Appreciate any tips.
thanks!
Axe
Edited by: axe1 on Apr 7, 2010 12:30 PM

You can use the "External Browser" service button there you have to paste the link of the FR report which can be copied from the workspace.

How to add external URL link to SAP object (Purchase Order, Invoice, etc)

Hello,
Is there any function module /BAPI that allows me to add an external URL link to a existing Purchase Order
or Invoice document in R3 system?
I tried to debug the system but have not found no suitable function module for it.
I also analyzed the ABAP code of the small GUI window that allows to add a external URL link to
a Purchase Order, and found the function module SO_OBJECT_INSERT. However I could not debug
it (seems to be created with BOR objects) so I've no example for it.
Please help!

Use of Related Content

Hi,
Can any one explain me what is Related Content at Workspace--Administration--Mangedocuments and Why it is used for?
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: 856538 on May 31, 2011 1:07 PM

Hi,
You can use related content document to create link to a report in your repository, then you can use this related content document in a task list so that users can generate the report directly from there rather then browsing in the report repository. As you know, you can not link a report to a task list just like you can attach a web form or data grid. So, this is an alternative.
When you try to create a new related content document, use the resource server drop down. You will see a URL for your report repository. There you can select a resource document. If you don't see any URL in resource server drop down, contact your IT who has configured the system.
If you want to load ppt, word or excel files, use "custom document" to upload them.
Hope this helps.

Telesales Interaction External URL

Hi All,
Does anybody have experience in using the JTF_PUB APIS to create interaction history records and can help me with the following:
I understand the use of media item records to 'Punch Out' to associated eBusiness Suite documents (i.e. Emails in email Centre), but is it possible to create interactions that 'Punch Out' to an external URL???
I understand this might be a fairly heavy extension but the business reason for this is to create interactions that reference documents in an external document management system (i.e. white mail, scanned documents).
Any Help Appreciated
Thanks
Adam

I'm not sure I quite follow your code, but in general you cannot create executable code from a string after the page has loaded. This is a security precaution to prevent compromised remote content from executing malicious code.
You can work out a way to create the needed items without using eval() or innerHTML. i.e. by using DOM methods to create the needed elements and then use addEventListener() to hook up the event handlers. You can also map the content into a non-application sandbox so that it is not subject to this restriction (it also won't have access to the AIR APIs).

Related Content Help

Hello,
We had a link to an external site setup via related content which showed up under the related content link as well as, when the page was loaded it displayed as an item at the bottom of the page that when clicked, would expand and load the page. I cannot figure out how to get it to load when i open at the bottom of the page automatically. anyone tellme how this is done?
Thansk.

Hi, if I understand you correctly you need to navigate to Portal > Related Content Service > Mange Related Content Service, click the Edit Configuration button for your service and ensure you have the correct default service selected in your grid and the Open Services in expanded view checkbox just under the grid checked.

Passing filter/POV values from WA to FR using Related Content

I have a WA document with a spreadsheet and a drop-down menu that filters values in that spreasheet. I want to create a related content link between the WA doc and a separate FR report, such that the chosen filter value is passed along and changes a related POV on the FR report. Is this possible? Also, is it possible to open a related content URL via a button or some other control, instead of clicking within a spreadsheet cell?
Appreciate all help.
thanks,
Axe

Iain,
it worked! By joined effort of you and Oracle (are you part of Oracle now?) - but mainly you - it worked.
First it didn't work. What I didn't realize that you were using smartcut in your example. I used related content's link. RC link has some paramenters after ? mark, so when I added another ? with attribute - it didn't take it. After some heated conversation with oracle where they first told me that this is impossible and then I poinetd them to this forum they gave me a hint.
I will be using RC link as it allows me to open it in PDF (smartcut opens in HTML).
Here is how my final statement looks like:

To open an external URL from your application

Hello All,
Please guide me in below scenario as I am new to SAP UI5.
I have created a SHELL application with 5 tabs.
We have a requirement where on clicking of a tab in the application it should open an external url. I am using "link" element of sap.ui.commons library. On press of link to action function I am using below code to open external url content.
location.href = "http://google.com";
It is opening in the same tab but I have been navigated away from my application.
As per the requirement external url content should be opened without navigating away from my application.
I am attaching the screenshot.

Link from BPF task to external url

Hi,
Is it possible to link to an external url from a BPF step? I have tried embedding in the content library, but the resolution is adequate.
Many thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,
From BPF, we cant open an external link. You can upload a link on content library and the content library can be opened through the BPF.
Hope this helps.
