Authorization to save to portal favorites

Hi, Is there anyone that can tell me what authorizations are required to be able to save BI Favorites to the Portal Favorites?
Thanks, Ken Murray

Are you sure it's empty. Try opening the IView with the icons to the right of the IView window. That's usually the problem.
If you an an FPN then the Saved links will not appear in Consumer Portal. It's an open issue.
Good Luck.

Exception when trying to save portal favorites from BEx webreport

Hello everybody!
Since last week before christmas we have a problem regarding our portal favorites. When you try to save a individual BEx webreport the following exception is thrown:
Exception caught: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.sap.ip.bi.base.application.message.MessageException.<init>(ZZLcom/sap/ip/bi/base/exception/BIBaseRuntimeException;[Lcom/sap/ip/bi/base/application/message/IMessage;Ljava/util/Properties;Lcom/sap/security/api/IUser;Ljava/util/Locale;)V
When looking into the netweaver administration the first exception which leads to this is:

Hi Georg,
So, at least we know the cause and why / when it appeared.
Two possibilities:
1.) Basis has done a clean, complete update. In that case, SAP would have some bug in the code. But I doubt this a bit, as such bugs should occur at compile time.
2.) The update was done incompletely, so some parts are SP17, some are SP18. I would advise to call http://server:port/sap/monitoring/ComponentInfo (maybe you already have done so, writing "We have checked the versions of the components on AS").
If there is no hint into direction 2, maybe it is 1. At least, if all components are really SP18, this would be a basis to open an OSS message, for sure.
Anyhow, you also have tried a complete restart of the cluster?!
Hope it helps

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 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

FPN - Saving BI Links (KM Bookmarks) to the Consumer Portal Favorites

Hi, I'm posting this message again in hopes that either a mentor, SAP person, or Portal Expert can help. I have received several emails from people looking to do the same thing I am. The problem seems like a major integration gap between Portals and BI.
We use a Federated Portal Network where the Enterprise Portal (EP) is the Consumer Portal and the BI
Portal (BP) is the Producer Portal. BI Report Users access BI Reports from the Enterprise Portal through Remote Role Assignment.
BI Report "Save As" functionality allows you to save a "KM Bookmark" to the BI Portal Favorites. I am specifically looking to save a "KM Bookmark" to the Enterprise Portal(Consumer) Favorites and NOT the BI Portal(Producer). This only makes sense since our users only have access to the Enterprise Portal.
Our users are accessing their BI Reports from the Enterprise Portal and the users would like to save a link (KM Bookmark) to their Enterprise Portal Favorites. Currently, it looks like the "Save As" Functionality for saving "KM Bookmarks" is only allowing (Pointing) us to save the KM bookmarks to our BI Portal.
1. In an FPN Environment can we save a "KM Bookmark" Link to a BI Report into the Enterprise (Consumer) Portal Favorites?
2. If we are in a FPN Environment and users cannot save KM Bookmarks to Enterprise Portal Favorites and can only put "KM Bookmarks" in the BI Portal then how are users to access their links from the Enterprise Portal Environment?
3. Just a note. I think these saved links are called KM Bookmarks. You can see this from the BI Report "Save As" dialog. If you do a search through SAP Documentatiion you do not see a single reference to "KM Bookmark".
4. I have found OSS Note1149597, but I do not believe this addresses this exact issue
If anyone can provide some valuable insight into this Portal and BI Integration it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You,
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Has anyone seen any new information on this? The described behavior makes the BI query "save" function completely useless in the context of an FPN consumer portal.
Note [1149597|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1149597] is very little help as near as I can tell. We tested the "fix" in a DEV environment, and while it technically "resolves" the problem with where the favorites get saved, we end up with all of our BI content actually being "published" to the consumer by the BEx tools. This sort of defeats the purpose of implementing an FPN in the first place, even if the requests are redirected back to the producer by the recommended BEx iView mods.
We have implemented a work-around by creating a RDL in our consumer portal to the producer portal's standard "Portal Favorites" iView. However, we're not happy with this solution as we end up with multiple "favorites" areas in our central consumer portal (one for remote BI content and another for "local" favorites). We also don't want to maintain the favorties that get saved to the producer portal.

BI Bookmarks in Portal Favorites

Hi
I am facing an issue with opening navigated and saved reports via Portal Favorites.
In the integrated BI report in the portal, I enter the variables in the variable entry screen and run the report. After the report loads, I click on 'Save As...' button and give a description and save it in Favorites tab.
When I need to access this report again directly without entering the variable values again, i click on the corresponding link in Portal Favorites. Although I would expect it to show me the report directly, it shows me the variable entry screen again.
But the bookmarks opens fine from within the Bex Report using 'Open' button next to the 'Save As...' button.
What am I doing wrong? Is there something that needs to be setup in the KM folder for this purpose?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jay

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.

Change the name from Portal Favorites to Portal Favourites

Hi,
There is a requirement that where ever in Portal, the name of Portal Favorites should be changed to Portal Favourites.
So when I add something to Portal Favorites in Portal, then there we get Organize Entries in the context menu and opening this it will open a pop-up having name as Favorites.
I searched and come to know that this is coming from a folder under KM Content /userhome/<portal-userid>/Favorites.
If I changes the name Favorites to Favourites then it reflects to that corresponding id, but changing from here for every portal-userid will be very difficult.
Can someone tell how we can change on global basis for every portal user.
Regards,
Deep Nain Kundra

Hi there,
The iView called "Favorites" in Content Provided by SAP > End User Content > Standard Portal Users > iViews > com.sap.km.iviews points to a KM folder which you can find in Content Administration > KM Content > root > Entry Points > Favorites. You can change the name of this folder: with Entry Points > Favorites selected choose Folder > Details and then Settings > Properties, set the name to whatever you like and click Save.
Now this isn't 100% effective but if a user accesses the Organize Entries command from the Favorites context menu, they will now see your custom folder name. A preview of the iView will show the same.
What this doesn't do is change the name of the Entry Point, so a user looking under Documents will still see the heading "Favorites". According to SAP Help this can be changed by creating a custom bundle file, but despite following the steps detailed in [Changing Labels and Symbols for Entry Points|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/36/8b6b4066d9bf49e10000000a1550b0/content.htm] I have not had success with this.

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.

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 Favorites problem

When i save a KM folder to my Portal Favorites..it seems to work fine... but when i save a link to other portal content like "Content Administration/Portal Content" using the "add to Portal favorites" dropdown from the upper right of the page...it adds something to the favorites, but when i pick what was added..it prompts me to save a 0 bite file to my local computer??
when i go back to KM content and browse to userhome/MYUSERID/Favorites it shows 0 bite files???
Anyone have any idea's???

Well you continue to add as a link and click on the link.. this will take you to respective Content admin page...

have not transporting this link, but i believe this should work.
Sorry if i have not understood your question, please elaborate in that case.
Hope this helps.

Broadcasting the querys which have been saved in the Portal Favorites.

Hi Friends,
I was trying to broadcast the report from Portal to User Email. I can do the broadcasting through the wizard as well as normal way.
My Question is ...i have saved some of the querys(iViews) in the portal favorites and when i try to broadcast , iam not able to find the saved iviews in the favorites.
Is there any way to broadcast the querys which has been saved in the portal Favourits.
Thanks in advance,

As far as I know, you can not save Queries to portal favorites. It is only saved in the backend side and you need Web BEx to access them.

Saving Executed BI Reprots in Portal Favorites

Hi Team,
I had saved executed BI reports in Portal favorites. (I Ran the BI report  gave the input  executed BI report  saved in Portal Favorites.)
After I run the saved report from Portal Favorites again itu2019s asking BI Input screen instead of showing directly executed report.
Before it was showing executed report and recently the portal favorites behaving like this.
My question- what is the portal favoriteu2019s behavior in the perspective of BI reports.
Can you please clarify on this or give me some clues to solve this issue.
Quick response is high appreciates for my urgency.
Thanks in Advance
Venky

Hi Mikhail/Bijro,
Thanks for quick response.
That's true.
But once we execute the report we can save as BI variant using "Save As" button. But later on if user wants to see same executed report user must give some input --> run the report --> open saved Variants using "Open" button to see saved executed report.
Instead of this, is there any way to save Executed BI variant into Portal Favorites? By that user can run the executed report from portal favorites?
I appreciate if you suggest me on this ASAP.
Regards
Venky

Delete portal favorites

Hai ,
My user run the report in portal and save the result in Portal favorites.
Now user want to delete the portal favorites. how can i delete the portal favorites. pls hlp ?

Hi Anish,
In Portal, the user favorites are saved in KM repository, userhome -> <Login ID> -> Favorites.
If the user wants to delete the favorites he must be having a Portal Favorites iView on the left hand side. In that, there is quick link for "Organize favorites". Click on that and the user will be able to delete the favorites.
If user is unable to delete the portal, the content admin is able to delete it.
For content administrator, the navigation will be:
Content Administration -> KM content -> userhome -> <login id> -> favorites
and delete the required favorites.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Prashil
