Hi,
When you import par file, no jar files in lib and private/lib folders are imported into NWDS. So import them manually into your project.
So you should copy these jar file manually into corresponding folders in you NWDS project.
Check this for more:
**Very Very Urgent**Portal login screen not working
If you do not create any new components in this project then you need not change the portalapp.xml file.
So it all depends what changes are you making in the project.
If you are not creating any new components but just changing some texts, colors, images or some minor changes then you need not change the portalapp.xml file.
Just deploy it back using export option from file menu to export par file.
The best practice here is not to deploy changes in the sap namespace, so rename your project so that the par name is changed. This way portal upgrade will not overwrite the changes in the par file.

Question about par file...

Hi,
There are two followin par file in pcd root directory
I don't know their uses...so give me answer for which purpose they use/
1> com.sap.portal.runtime.flash.flashanywhere
2> com.sap.portal.runtime.flash
Thanks in advace

Hi Nisarg
There doesn't seem to be a documentation for those files anywhere. Nevertheless, you could still figure out what those two files do by importing them into your NWDS.
You should find the files at this location on the server.
<J2EE_Engine_Instance>\j2ee\cluster\server<X>\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\deployment\pcd
Import them into your NWDS and see what function they perform
Hope that helped

Hi Sumangala,
Thanks for reply, You are talking about Enterprise Portal, the CE Environment is different we don't have options for browse deployment, compulsory we have to take from the server itself.
The files in server is also different
In EP we can find masthead in this location - /usr/sap/<SID>/J<Instance number>/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/web-inf/deployment/pcd
but,
In CE the structure is different we cannot find the exact path as above.
I searched files there but i got lot of files on masthead and i confused which file i have to use.

NWDS 7.0 Error during Quick PAR Upload and while trying Exporting PAR-File

Hello,
I am trying to use the functions "Export as PAR-File" and "Quick PAR Upload" in NWDS 7.0.
Unfortunately I got an error every time when I am trying to use this functions. I am using the package explorer in the Java perspectiv in NWDS for starting this functions. The error tells me the following:
"Unable to connect to the Portal"
"Operation failed: Please make sure the server "XY" is running or check the log (sap-plugin.log) for more detail"
Thats all.
When I am looking in the log-file I can read the following messages:
"ACCESS.ERROR: Authorization check for caller assignment to J2EE resource [keystore-view.TicketKeystore: view-actions: GET_VIEW:ALL]"
"ACCESS.ERROR: Authorization check for caller assignment to J2EE resource [keystore-view.TicketKeystore: view-actions: IS_VIEW_EXISTS:ALL]"
"ACCESS.ERROR: Authorization check for caller assignment to J2EE resource [keystore-view.TicketKeystore: view-actions: SIZE_OF_VIEW:ALL]"
"ACCESS.ERROR: Authorization check for caller assignment to J2EE resource [keystore-view.TicketKeystore: view-actions: READ_ENTRY:ALL]"
LOGIN.ERROR|null|| Login Method=[default] UserID=[user_Admin] IP Address=[192.168.xxx] Reason=[Cannot authenticate the user]
I have tried this with several users and their passwords. All of the users have admin-rights at least in the portal. One of them even in the SDM.
I can sucessfully deploy webdynpros from NWDS into the same Portal with this users.
We are using SAP Logon Tickets and SSO is configured working fine between Portal and backend.
We have imported Key Store File in NWDS unter Window --> Preferences --> Java Development Infrastructure.
And we are not using the NWDI.
Who knows why I cannot even export par-files? Are their any configurations missing?
Best regards,
Iris

It is mentioning about authentication.
check whether you have access to deploy directly or not ? maybe direct deployment into portal disabled .
I think you have to follow the procedure of checkout and activate procedure.
Can you clarify few things
1) Are you using NWDI Based Transports in your landscape?
Login Method=default UserID=user_Admin IP Address=http://192.168.xxx Reason=Cannot authenticate the user
http://192.168.xxx is it your development portal?
Did you clarify with admin people whether direct deployment disabled?

PAR file from NWDS

Hello,
I'm attempting to change a couple of the images on the log on page by adding them into the PAR file using a project in NWDS. After making the changes, which I believe I have done correctly, in order to create the new par file I've used the export PAR file option. I then rename the new file to our our existing filename and pass it to our BASIS team who have tried to deploy it using SDM. For some reason it won't load. (I have manually added the 2 JAR files so that is not the problem). Any ideas about what is wrong ? Any help would be appreciated.
Much obliged,
Phil.

Hello
Check while creating the PAR file again after uploading the images,
is the par file created correctly or not?
is there any custom jar files added previously when the login par has created.
make sure all jar files added in PAR file while building PAR.
If PAR file generated successfully then try to deploy from System Admin as mentioned by above reply.
Cheers

How to get the source code in PAR file

Hi All,
I used the PAR migration tool to migrate from PAR to EAR file. When I imported the EAR into NWDS 7.3, I was just able to see the structure and jsp files and could not find the java source code files. I would requires the java source code to make modifications so that deprecated APIs can be replaced and to also make the code compatible with JDK 1.6.
I think the original 7.0 PAR file itself does not contain the source code. I decided to use the "Include source code" option when exporting the 7.0 PAR.
I have the portal application DC project in my NWDS 7.0. However, when I try to export the PAR file using Export --> PAR File -- > Next... I am unable to select any project from the list. The list appears blank with disabled Next & Finish buttons.
I also noticed that in the portal DC application structure, there is a .sda file under /gen/default/deploy. Also there is no PAR folder under /gen/default/public.
How do I include the source in the PAR file so that I can edit the same after migrating to EAR format ?
Regards,
Melwyn

DC and PAR/EAR stuff are different formats, SC/DC is an archive type used by NWDI, if I got it right.
How do I go about generating the PAR file (with source) ?
In fact through including the seources while creating the PAR/EAR in NWDS, but: no need to do that, you can also depack SDA (rename it to zip). If you wanna just see the Java sources you will find them there, otherwise decompile as Vijay already sad.
cheers

Error while uploading par file

Hi,
I am trying to upload par file for the first time. When I try to deploy the par file, I am getting message saying, 'Operation failed: Please make surethe server 'Myportal' (host:port) is running or check the log( sap-plugin.log) for more details'/
I have tried to open the portal http://host:port/irj/portal. I am able to open the portal and can login successfully also. This means that the portal is running ( Am I right ?).
I have tried to upload the par file directly from the portal using
system admin>support>portal runtime>Administration console--Archive uploader.
I got the error messages as given below.
INFO: Detected Portal Archive File: HelloProject.par
INFO: Deployment failed - exception caught: Application upload failed: HelloProject.par - more detail at: E:\usr\sap\IN1\JC01\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\deployment\pcd\HelloProject.par.log
Please guide me about what could be the pbm and how to solve this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vishnu Priya

Hi Vishnu,
Are you trying to upload a PAR file from the NWDS?
if then you need to configure the J2EE engine correctly before doing so
for that matter you need the port number and also have that the SDM password for deployement
Once these are ready ...go to the J2EE engine tab available on the bottom corner.And make sure the J2EE engine is working. or the server is up.Is this what you are looking for.....if yes.....just reply...I can continue with the deployment..

Error when uploading par files - Exception

Hi all,
I'm getting an error when I try to upload any par file of the MSS package through the administration console. The error thrown is:
Messages:

I have checked the rights to all directories and the directory structure. We're running EP6.0 with SP 9.
Thanks for your time.
regards,
Dion

Hi Dion,
i would think that SAP tries to stop uploads of par files which should be installed with them SDM or import of a whole package.
Try the following :
- rename the par file name from com.sap.... to something else...
or :
- import the par into Developer Studio and change the project name
change/delete the META-INF files
Another question : why do you want to install only certain elements of the MSS package ?
Regards,
Kai

The PCD folder with all par files in the portal is empty

Hi all gurus.
I have a customer that failed with a transport of iviews between two portals, the par file was not included even if attribute "include dependent objects" was checked.
I have met this problem before and the only(?) solution is to download the par file separately and import it into the receiving portal and then create a new iview from it.
Here is my problem: when I at this certain customers portal go to "System Administration > Support > Support Desk > Portal Runtime > Test and Configuration Tools > Browse Deployment" and then browse to "Root > WEB-INF > deployment > pcd" that last folder is empty! Blank!!!
On all portals I've seen that folder alwasys shows all standard par files along with deployed stuff but here the folder just shows a white page with the text "The folder is empty".
I don't think it's a matter of authority since I have added "super-admin role" and all possible content admin roles to my user without any change, the folder is still empty.
Does anyone have an idear about what is going on here?
Best regards
Benny Lange

Hi Raghu.
Your are missing my point: it's not about what content to export, it's about the folder being totally empty. I can't see the par files belonging to our deployed code either.
Of course I could upload the par file from Eclipse workbench from where I first uploaded the par file to the development enivironment, but I find it alarming that the folder is empty when it's full of par files in every single portal I have seen so far.
Best regards
Benny

Regarding the first level navigation par file customization

Hi
i require the help on the first level navigation par file customization.
i downloaded the rthe required par file from the server for changes.
the name of the par file is <b>com.sap.portal.navigation.toplevelsingle.</b>.
my requirement on this par file is i want to add an image file (.gif) to the first level navigaton at the end of the header.
can u guide me how to do the chages to add an image in the top level navigation
header file for this in the par file.
reply ASAP
Regards
sunil

Hi Sunil,
Do you really want to place the image at the right side of the TLN - or at the header (which is different)?
In the first case, there is a mixture of JavaScript and JSPs (containing JS) which build up the TLN, and this is quite complicated to understand (at least too complicate for a SDN thread). You would have to work through the code and try to modify it carefully.
In the secondd case, you are touching the wrong PAR, but you would know the right one (as you opened a different thread about such a modification).
Alternatively, you could try to use the light framework page, using the navigation tag library. This way, it is more easy to design your own UI, including the nav functionality.
Hope it helps

Where to get the par file for visual composer application?

Hi Gurus,
I have referred few forum postings about transporting VC iview .
to do that first we have to deploy the par file of the Visual composer application into the target system(QA & Prod) where ever we want to import it........
Now my query is I went to System admin->support-Portal runtime->Root Folder-->Portal apps........
where i have seen my Visual composer application name and otpion to download when I downloeded it it has downloded in unknown format............can i deploy this to SDM of the target system?
Or I need to change the file format into par or par.bak file?
please tell me how to go about it.........
higher points will be rewarded for the useful inputs.......
Thanks in Advance,
Dharani

Hi Dharani,
Tools --> Options --> Compiler --> Check box deploy for par and mention the namespace and vendorname in the PAR prefix name
Very similar to how its done in NWDS.
Cheers,
Rahul.

Pass iView property as parameter to JSP in PAR file.

Hi All,
I have a custom created PAR file in which there is a JSP page there is a variable which I need to provide to users as a configurable property of the iView. So that when a user configures a value to that defined property to the iView, my JSP from the PAR should automatically pick this value and carry on the processing further as required.
I have done some research on my behalf, which even though turned out just half of the solution, but still even then the code does not seem to work. For reference, please see link below:
[Reference Document|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/508baf88-9335-2d10-efa6-c6ad61e5fc4b?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true]
I need this with very critical urgency, please, kindly help.
Thanks and Regards,
Abhishek Goel.

Hi Prashant,
I am sincerely thankful for all your efforts so far, but I still have a little problem with which I am stuck and somehow I think I am doing something terribly wrong.
Just to test, I have included a button on the JSP page and on the click event of that button I have written my code in javascript as below:
IPortalComponentRequest currentRequest   = (IPortalComponentRequest)pageContext.getAttribute(javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext.REQUEST);
IPortalComponentContext componentContext = currentRequest.getComponentContext();
IPortalComponentProfile profile          = componentContext.getProfile();
var xyzVal = profile.getProperty("xyz");
But I am still not getting the desired value in the xyzVal variable. Please advise how to go about the code.
Also i have tried writing this code in a Java Class file. Even after making the required imports I am getting am error in the statement as indicated below:
IPortalComponentRequest currentRequest   = (IPortalComponentRequest)pageContext.getAttribute(javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext.REQUEST);
Thanks,
Abhishek Goel.
