Adding transaction under PORTAL FAVORITES

Hi all,
We have EP7.0 at our place.
We have integrated SRM in ENETERRPISE PORTAL and users see all different menu in Portal as pe rthe roles assigned.
Now for one of the roles,under "DETAILED NAVIGATION",users are able to see all transactions which are included for the corresponding role in SRM backend system.
However the requirement now is to allow users to add transactions themselves under the link PORTAL FAVORITES.
How can this be achiveed??

Can you please share the solution with our community?

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:

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):

Organize Entries option in Portal Favorite give 404 internal error

Hi All,
I am able to save the page under portal favorite. Under Context Menu for Portal Favorite Iview I get 3 options ( Open in new window, Refresh and Organize Entries). The first 2 options work fine i.e Open in new window and Refresh.
However I am facing issue with the 3rd option, Organize Entries. If I click on the organize entries option a new window opens up with 404 Error (page not found).
I tried to locate the page which the organize entries option is trying to open but am unable to find it. Also tried to run HTTP Trace for it, it s gave me URL http://<localhost>/unauthorized/userhome/<username>/favorites?Starturi... .
Kindly assist you have know the resolution for this.
Thanks
Namit

I was able to resolve this on my own. Under system admin > system config > KM > Content Management > Global services > (Show Advanced Options) > URL generator services.
Here make sure you have the correct URL mentioned for Navigation Servelet and explorer servlet. That would be /irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtrrot/com.sap.km.cm.navigation

Portal favorites not displaying the iview.

Hi Team,
We have a home role with a welcome page which is the first role to be displayed to every user logged in to portal.
Now we have enabled the option "Add to Portal favorites" to the portal objects. So when a report (BI / Bo report) is added to the portal favorites we are able to see the report added to the portal favorites iview. But when we try to access the report directly from portal favorites the link is navigating to the exact report path but not displaying the report instead it is displaying the welcome page of the HOME role.
When i try to add Identity management iview of the User admin to the portal favorites and try to aceess it from Portal favorites iview, it navigates to the identity management page but the welcome page is displayed instead of the identity management iview.
Can you please let me know a fix for this.

Bharat

Hi Team,
Any ideas on this issue will be very helpful

Can't add to portal favorites with "&" in the name field

Hi there
Interesting problem which has been identified this morning ... it appears that certain iviews cannot be added to the portal favorites, and upon closer inspection, it appears that those iviews all have the "&" character in the name field.
For example, we have an iview with the name of "SAA013 Summary of Sales & Gross Margin vs Approved Plan". As you can see, its quite long, so anything to save some space.
If I remove the & and replace with "and", then I can add to portal favorites.
Has anyone else come across this and found an alternate solution? I could probably get away with convincing the client to allow "and" to be inserted, but then there's quite a few iviews that will have to be renamed, which is a rather tedious task.
Cheers,
Andrew

Portal Runtime Error while checking the Transaction in Portal

Hi all,
We r in the phase of setting the configuration of Portal. We did the the template installer but when iam checking the transactions in Portal ( System Administration--> Support--->SAP Apllication) , it is throwing me the following error.
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : N/A
Component Name : N/A
Missing Property 'ClassName' in property file for layer'Transaction/WinguiSSOLayer'..
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
Can anybody help me in this regard.
Thank in Advance.

Hi Niyati,
I guess check through -->
Under "Personalize > User Profile" the checkbox "Activate Accessibility Feature" must be unchecked!
as, people earlier also faced this issue and SAP provided this solution.
Also an alternative solution for this is like --
Go to:
<Drive>\usr\sap\<SID>\JC<Instance No.>\j2ee\cluster\server<Server No.>\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\portal\portalapps\com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap\property\Transaction
and see the content of the 'WebGuiSSOLayer.properties' file.
One of the entries is ''ClassName'. The value on a 'valid' portal is: com.sapportals.portal.sapapplication.itsdetection.ITSDetectionLayer
If it's not the case, then go to:
<Drive>\usr\sap\<SID>\JC<Instance No.>\j2ee\cluster\server<Server No.>\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\deployment\pcd
rename the file 'com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.par.bak' to 'com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.par' open the par file and edit the file ''WebGuiSSOLayer.properties' (add the relevant entry for ClassName).
Save the file (still with the par extension)
Restart the portal (if everything is OK then the bak extension will be added to the filename).
Just try this, hope it works.

Change URL of Portal favorites

Hello,
Is there any way to change the URL of user favorites stored in KM?
I have a few BI users who have saved many BEX Portal favorites using Web Analyzer. Unfortunately due to a change in the portal role assignment he can no longer access his favorites and it shows page cannot be found. The reason being we were earlier rolling our Portal roles and Reports using Portal Groups. Users would be assigned to Portal groups which in turn would be linked to the individual Portal Roles. Recently we started assigning Portal Roles directly to user ids.
Surprisingly and I dont know why the favorites link create by the users include the portal group id as well in the url. We have to manually modify those favorites link so that the portal groups can be removed.
When I navigate to root->user home-> <user> -> favorites I have view all the favorites created by the user, I can modify and see properties but there is no way I can change the "Content Link" URL path under the "Access Links" tab. There is also a Miscellaneous tab which has a bookmark_id = D7NQ1PKD34N4RMYJ8MYUJCSTY and template_name = ZANALYSIS_PATTERN.
I tried searching the bookmark_id on the ABAP stack in table SMEN_BUFFC but no luck.
Thanks
Raj

Hi Kundu,
I dont understand what you mean by "adding permissions" please elaborate. Are you talking about adding "Full Control" to the Favorite links? Please note the user is able to see their favorites in the KM Portal Favorite iView but they cannot get to the page using the link stored in those favorites since the link has the name of portal group embedded in it becuase they were assigned to those portal groups before. Now they are just assigned to the portal roles directly.

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.

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

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 when using Application Integration

Hi,
We have implemented application integration for BW for rendering reports and display in portal. We have BI Java portal where the reports run and user portal where the rendered report gets diplayed. This has been achieved through Application Integration for BI Java.
When the user saves the report, its getting saved on BI Java Portal Favorites. So the user is not able to see it. To resolve this we have followed the below steps:
1. Created a remote iView in user portal which points to the Portal Favorites iView in BI Java portal -- using this we are able to see the user saved favorites in user portal
2. Renamed the BEx Web(ID:bex) iView in user portal and created a remote bex iView which points to the BEx Web iView in BI Java portal - When I preview it, it displays the prototype properly
Now when I click on the favorite links, those reports were not running. Only the bex prototype page is coming up.
When a report is saved its bookmarkId is saved on KM user account in BI Java portal. From there I took the bookmarkId and added to 'application parameters' property value for bex remote iView in user portal. This made the report to run on BI Java and render the report on user portal. But when I click on the favorites link in user portal, it is not running the report.
Does someone has any suggestion on this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Archana

I was able to resolve this by creating a remote iView in user portal for the Portal Favorites iView from BI Java portal. And the remote iView created for the bex, we changed one iView property ‘Parameters Forwarded to Remote Application’ to ‘*’ which resolved the issue.
Thanks,
Archana

View Z report in portal favorites

Hi,
I created transaction iview for some Z-REPORT by user mapping between ECC and EP. Now the user which I mapped can see the report in portal when I given them content administration role. But my client wants to provide all the report which I created in portal, to the end user without assigning content admin role. He wants to see the report in portal favorites without Content Administration role. How to achieve it? I hope now you can able to understand my requirement. Please provide the explanatory stems to reach the requirement.
Thanks,
Kundan

If I'm honest I'm not 100% sure what the requirement is, but your iview can be assigned to any role not just the content admin role. Users do not need to have content admin role to access iviews, in fact only admins should have that role assigned. What I would do is
1. create iview
2. create role
3. assign iview to role
4. assign iview to user(s) or group(s) of users
cheers,
Dion

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
