Add a Help Link to a Discoverer Portlet

How can I add a Help Link in a Discoverer Portlet?
Even if I have checked the 'Show Help Link on Portlet Headers' in the Portlet Display Options this does not appear in the Portlet.

Hi.,
As far I know it is not possible to create URL link in Area Menu., instead, Create a Report and call Function 'CALL_BROWSER' and pass the url to the function module.
Now create a Transaction for this report let say ZURL,
Now Assign this transaction to Area Menu So., When you click that transaction in Area menu it will open Url in browser.
hope this helps u.,
Thanks & Regards,

Need to Add Help links to ESS pages

Hello,
I have a requirement to add helps links to ESS services like address etc.
The services have the roadmap element. Is it possible to add the link besides the roadmap element and right aligned?
Which component should the link be added to?
Is it possible that all the personal info services will have the link pointing to respective URLs?
I figured that I might have to change the sap.compcui_gpxssutils DC. Am I right?
But here I face a problem, that the DC is not modifiable in the DTR.
Please let me know your suggestions.
Thanks and regards,
Mayuresh

Hi,
In Homepage Framework for ESS, there is a help service with every service. Check if this will help you.
You can create a service as a help service. EIC_SERVICE_REQUEST is an example of help service provided by SAP. Then you can configure this help service to any service you want. This way you can provide access to help informationm without changing the code.
To create your own help service, you can upload the help documents(say HTML) in portal KM repository. Create a KM document iView for the document. Create a page out of the iView and configure the PCD path of the page in the Hompageframework service.

Discoverer Portlet - where is refresh information stored?

Hi again
When specifying refresh information in a Discoverer Portlet (step 6 I think) where is this information stored?
I would like to programatically change the "next run time" depending on the refresh completion of our data warehouse but I simply cannot figure out in which tables the refresh information is stored...
Can anyone help me here?

Discoverer Portlets Example

Hi All Gurus !
A very simple question. Where can I find a working example / proper documentation about how to deploy Discoverer worksheets into the 9ias R2 Portal ?
Is there a predefined Provider for this or do I need to create one or what ? I have tried to read through documentation related to this but can't find the Providers that should exist by default (or should they ?) in the Portal.
Similar problems with Reports rdf publishing through the Portal...but that's another thread :-)
Thank you very much in advance for helping out with this!
Cheers,
Kalle

If you're getting the "discoverer portlet is busy", you want to check which database connect string is used.
1. Log onto hostname.domain:1810 (EM Website)
2. Click on the 9iAS mid-tier
3. Click on the <mid-tier>.hostname.domain_discoverer link
4. Click on update on the General Discoverer Configuration
5. Ensure if you have connection to the db instance (username /password). Connect String that can be found on Oracle9iAS_midtier_home/Network/ADMIN/tnsnames.ora. Verify that entry in tnsnames.ora file is being used in your public connection from EM. Although part of the connection in EM refers to "database" you may want to populate this parameter with the database "connection String" that you can find in the tnsnames.ora file. Once you have created the connection in EM. Try http://<hostname.domain>:7779/discoverer/plus and see if you could use the predefined connection to connect to the database you're basing your analysis on.

Thank you for your reply,
I can see the PortletProvider page and I can register it with the portal. I can even see the 2 portlets that it exposes.
Unfortunately when I add them to a page or try to preview them I first get an Internal error 500 and after that start getting a "discoverer portlet is busy" message with both of the portlets.
This does not generate any error logs anywhere in the system as far as I can see.

Slow performance of discoverer portlets

Hi,
I am running into slow performance of a particular page in portal, there are multiple sites hosted on the portal but these all have static text and are very quick to load but the one page with discoverer portlets and a web-clippping portlet is taking ages. If I run these reports on their own they are instant. Has anyone had similar problems with 9.0.2 portal and the discoverer reports ? I tried to identify a particular report that may be the culprit by deleting them one by one and to no avail. After a few hours effort I found the design mode was hanging as well. Again, just for this 1 page.
There are 3 tabs on this page with about 4 report portlets and 1 web-clipping portlet.
Thanks for any help,
Brandon

Thanks for the help.
Seems to have been resolved although I'm not sure if thats the end of the story. Will wait and see.....
So far apparently a port conflict of some sort in the discoverer config was causing it to hang and then also other system demands on the network and server housing the discoverer end-user layer were also causing problems.
No error messages unfortunately......

How can i add a new link to Portal favorites?

Hi,
I have created a portal application and configured it to a porta frame work page byy adding iViews and portal pages.
I would like to display an iView as a link in the portal favorites. I have added it to portal favorites as related link. But nothing is displayed in the portal favorites when i logged in as application user.
How can i add a link to the created iView just like the "DeveloperContent" link shown in portal favorites when we login as portal administrator?
Your help and suggestions solicited...
Best regards,
Sudheesh

Hi Sudheesh,
The Related Links option is for Content Administrators to add links that they think will be useful for a certain page or iView...an end user can't add their own links to the Related Links iView. Also, you don't need Knowledge Management installed in the Portal for the Related Links iView to work. Also, Related Links will be available only on the pages/iViews that the Content Administrator has created them.
Read more about Related Links here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/1d37600aa111d7b84700047582c9f7/frameset.htm
Portal Favorites is a nice option for end users to decide which iViews or pages they would like to be available from every Portal page.
To open new iViews/pages in a new window, rather than in the current Content Area, adjust the Workprotect mode of the portal (either the user can do it for their preference or the Administrator can do it for everyone):

The Help Link from the Application Pages Does not Work for Peoplesoft Campus Solutions 9.0

Hi everyone.
I have a problem, I have been trying to set up the Help Link from the Application Pages for Peoplesoft Campus Solutions 9.0 according to the instructions given in the Document: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17566_01/epm91pbr0/eng/psbooks/EnablingtheHelpLinkfromApplicationPages.pdf , (referenced in the Doc ID 1289101.1, E-PB: How to Set Up the Context Sensitive Help with Hosted PeopleBooks using Universal Linking).
I follow the instructions of that document carefully:
I go to: PeopleTools -> Web Profile -> Web Profile Configuration
    2. Then I choose the Web Profile: "Development".
    3. Then Change the value for the Help URL field by entering the following URL format: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=hrcs90r5 , the ctx parameter selected is the one that correspond to the Campus Solutions (hrcs90r5) according to the Product Line Code Table (ULinkID) especified in the mentioned document.
    4. Stop the Web Domain and Clear cache.
    5. Start the Web Domain again.
After setting up the Web Profile Configuration I test the help links, thas is why I click in the Help link in any Peoplesoft CS 9.0 Application Page (modify a person), but the next error message appears: "We're sorry, the topic you requested was not found.".
I tried many combinations with the ctx parameters URL but it does not work yet.
I did the same test, but this time using the Help URL field with a HRMS ctx parameter by entering the following URL format: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=hcm92pbr5 , and It works fine !!!
According to the previous test you realize that It works with HRMS ctx parameter but not with Campus Solutions 9.0 ctx parameter, Does anybody know what else can I do ? Am I doing anything wrong or missing? or maybe the Oracle's ctx parameter for Campus Solutions URL It is broken simply.
Thanks for you help and feedback.

2799444 - The page you are testing with appears to be a Workforce Administration page. Is that correct?
The CS PeopleBooks would only work for CS pages, e.g.: try navigating to Main Menu > Campus Community > Personal Information > Add/Update a Person
Also, you can use multiple ctx parameters:
E.g.: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=hrcs90r5&ctx=hcm92pbr5&ctx=pt852pbh2
This way the help would work for the HR related pages like Workforce Administration, Campus Solutions pages like Campus Community and also PeopleTools pages like Web Profile Configuration. Hope this clarifies your question. Thanks!

In SharePoint 2013 navigation, is it possible to add a custom link only to the left-hand menu without getting it in to the top menu dropdown?

If I want to add a custom link to the left-hand navigation menu In a SharePoint 2013 sub-site, it can be done by visiting
Site Settings à Navigation section and adding the link under
Structural Navigation: Editing and Sorting section. However, this will automatically add a matching link to the top menu as a dropdown.
(Note that Global Navigation is set to “Display the same navigation items as the parent site” where “Parent is using Structural Navigation.” and Current Navigation is set to “Structural Navigation:
Display only the navigation items below the current site”)
Is there a way to just add a custom link only to the left-hand menu without getting it in to the top menu dropdown?

Mohamed Abdeen

Hi,
The “Add new item” button will redirect users to add new item with the default Content Type of the current list.
So a workaround can be like this: We can change the default Content Type of this list every time when users open this list view page, then the “Add new item” button will work
as you expected.
Here is a link with code demo about how to programmatically set a content type as default content type in a SharePoint 2013 List:
http://www.ashokraja.me/tips/How-to-programmatically-set-a-content-type-as-default-content-type-in-a-SharePoint-2013-List
We can put the code into a Visual Web Part and add it into your two views, then when users open a list view page, the code will be executed to change the default Content Type
of the current list.
To develop a custom web part, you can take a look at the links below with steps in detail for a start:

When I add a https link to quicklinks, when I click on it, the (:) after https does not go to the address bar and thus the link is not connected. This is happening for all quicklink bookmarks with https:

Question
When I add a https link to quicklinks, when I click on it, the (:) after https does not go to the address bar and thus the link is not connected. This is happening for all quicklink bookmarks with https: Is there a solution?

Try some basic troubleshooting.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Can I add a topic link to a desktop layout sidebar tab?

Hello,
I'm currently working in Robohelp 10 and using a modified version of the desktop layout. We don't need the Glossary tab in the sidebar, so I'd like to replace it with a Videos tab instead. I was able to add a new tab to the sidebar without a problem, but I'm having difficulty figuring out where to go from here. Ideally, when users click on Videos, I'd like it to launch one of our topics that already lists all our current videos and includes links to them. Is it possible to do this? Or is my only option to manually add the video links to that tab's section in the Topic.slp HTML? I'd like to avoid this if possible, since it would mean maintaining the videos list in multiple locations within the help project.
Thanks in advance,
Alison

The question is always how much time and effort you are willing to invest. The easy answer is that the tab in the sidebar does not load topics, or any other data for that matter. If you want this behaviour, you will have to create it yourself.
It is possible to create a script to load the list of video's from a predetermined location. But if you want to get it from a topic, the script will have to be interesting as it will require a lot of parsing the topic to get the relevant data. An easier solution would be to maintain an XML with links and descriptions and read that. I offer consultancy for building precisely these kinds of solutions. Please PM me if you want to know more.
Kind regards,
Willam

Help linking pdf in flash for multimedia cd

For some reason my link to a pdf in an exe for a CD designed
in flash doesn't work- Is there a special trick to this now?
Any help would be greatly appreciated....

I visited the site on Firefox, but I don't see any flash on
the home page. On Safari, I can see it - so first things first -
you need to embed the Flash so it works across all broswers. You
can use swfObject for this - as it is now the standard and Adobe
has adopted it for Dreamweaver CS4.
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
For AS3, you need to add code to link to the specific URL -
and you can find a pretty good tutorial for that here:

Pass page parameter to discoverer portlet

Hi All,
iAS Version 10g(9.0.4)
I created worksheet(graph) using Discoverer plus having 4 parameters. I published the
discoverer graphs as discoverer portlet in Oracle portal. However for this worksheet it shows
(No parameters) in Page --> Properties --> parameter. I created simple parameter portlet with
4 items, this entry I need to pass to this discoverer portlet/Worksheet.
Any suggestion would help.
Thanks

Hi,
Thank for your reply.
We are using discoverer plus for relational data (Oracle 10g (Ias 9.0.4)).
Appreciate your feedback.
