Automate the assignment of iviews, pages, workset to role....

Hello Gurus,
We are using EP 7.0. Is there any tool available in EP 7.0 that will automate the assignment of different content objects, like assignments of iviews, pages and workset to role.
We want to assign large no. of iviews, pages,worksets etc. to diffrenent roles. Is there anything available that will help us to automate the assignment, rather than manually assign the objects to the role as it will be a huge task and time consuming.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Deb

Hi Deb,
as far as I know there is no standard tool for mass assignment of content objects to portal roles. But you can easily develop your own solution. The folloowing sections of the SAP Library should be helpful:

  • Cleaning up old iviews/pages/worksets

    Hello,
    We have a lot of old iviews/pages/worksets that we continue to leave in our existing portal content folder structure.  It makes it very difficult to find the current active iviews and know for sure you are working with the correct item.  What is the best practice for "archiving" this old portal content? I could just re-organize the folders in portal content so that the active items are together and the old items are in an archived folder area.  But should I do something to clean out this old stuff from our test and production systems?  Is it taking up space on our test and production system such that we should do something to have it removed?
    Thank you for your recommendations.

    Hi Wendy
    I would not won't to answer your question with a definate answer but what you need is proper management of your portal content.
    to simplify
    1. Identify the iviews you are using and the iviews not of use.
    2. check if you have crated your own copy of the iview or its being used as delievered.
    3. once the list is ready start deleting the unused copied iviews.
    4. Its not a good idea to delete standard iviews however it doesn't mean that you can't.
    You need to sit with business and identify what you are currently using.
    Have company specific content repository and never use standard iviews without copying.
    good luck.

  • How to take a report for the assigned transaction and activity in a role

    Hi Colleagues,
    I want to take a report for the assigned transaction with activity for all roles, which are assigned to the users,
    Transaction list for a role i can able to take it from SUIM but not able to take the ACTVT for the role.
    Please suggest how to take this information.
    BR,
    Jai

    Hi Jaikumar from the post :
    I think you have reached the state of finding the USER to ROLE relationship
    Take the output to an excel,
    COPY just the roles column exactly in order do not rearrange , use AGR_1251 like other experts have mentioned
    insert the roles copied from you buffer and execute, the output will have multiple entries for each role take the output to an EXCEL again , make it unique and match the outputs between both the EXCELS.
    It will be a little tricky to do this, but I think you are proficient in MS EXCEL.
    This is one of the ways to do , there are many other ways to do it.

  • How do you automate the point size of page numbers in a generated index?

    In Framemaker 10 I have a generated index for a book. The indexed items are in point size 10 but the generated page numbers come out in 12 pt.
    Can I automate the page number size to be 10 pt?
    I have tried defining a character tag IndexPage Numbers and entered the following on the index Reference page:
    Level1IX
    <IndexPageNumbers><$pagenum>
    Level2IX
    <IndexPageNumbers><$pagenum>
    but this does produce the desired point size.
    Thanks

    Error,
    I was just generating an index today and had this weird behavior. The level1IX, level2IX, and level3IX entries formatted as expected (TNR, 11pt, plain) but the markers and page numbers displayed as 24pt, bold, Arial which matched the IndexIX format. What is that format for anyway? My user guide does not mention its purpose.
    I looked at the reference page and there was a paragraph formatted as IndexIX with this content:
    <$pagenum>
    It was 24pt, arial, bold, and centered.
    Another manual had an index that formatted properly last week but it too had the above <$pagenum> tag. So it's confusing as to the different behavior.
    I reformatted the <$pagenum>/IndexIX paragraph to TNR, 11pt, plain (in the index file), regenerated the index, and now the page number formatting matches the entry formatting.
    Again, is IndexIX the format for the index page numbers only and why does Frame insert <$pagenum> in the Index spec. on the reference page?
    Yours,

  • How works the assignation of a group to a role visitor in WLP

    Hi everyone,
    I have some problems with Siteminder integration with security in Weblogic Portal.
    Basically when I try to show the groups in my SM security provider for assign to a Role Visitor it produces a siteminder API error:

    This error is reported to the provider but we haven't solution yet and we need a workaround and I would like to know how is done the relationship between the role visitor and the assigned groups, is this information in LDAP? who I can introduce this relationship manually?
    Thank you.

    I have the role visitor created. I am trying to assign a group to the role visitor in PAT, but when I selected the Siteminder Provider to view all the groups this error happens.
    The Siteminder error is recognized by Siteminder as a bug and is making a patch (5 months ago) and we haven't answer yet, and then I would like to find a workaround to this problem.
    I try it with the API but Oracle recognize me another bug when I try to create a visitor role for Enterprise Scoped Applicaction, only works in Web Application scope. (1 month ago)
    And then the last solution is doing this assign manually... and I would like to know how I can do it in LDAP (if LDAP is the repository of this information)

  • Last Use Date for iViews/Pages/Workset - Portal clean up of old items

    Is there any scripts that SAP has created that shows the Portal Admin which iViews have been recently used by the users and which ones have not. We would like to go through our environments and Clean Up/Remove old none used code in the PCD.
    I am hoping there is a script that can be run which produces a report stating Last Used/Executed date. If there is nothing like this, does any one know if there is any Data Base table or fields that can identify this type if data so we can create/write our own script?  The PDC inspector may do this but its a very manual effort and we'd like something that is automated and runs in the background.
    I know we can turn on metrics, but that will not work for us because it completely bogs down our systems and we can't afford that. Hence we are looking for something that runs in the background and will not effect our environments.
    Thanks
    Pete

    Thanks everybody for trying to asnwer the first question.
    But I guess what I am really looking to find out, for every item we have in the PCD, is there a way to find the last used date? We don't want to turn on the metrics for a period of time like some of the solutions have suggested since that will bog down out production system and it still won't help us identify in our DEV and Test regions items that might still be valid but haven't been touched for a while or are still in development phases. 
    I was hoping that there would be a way that SAP would allow us to enter in a folder name, iview, workset, page, role, etc and then have the system tell us the last used/accessed date for that item or all of the items in the PCD folders.   Kind of the reverse thought to get this data instead of letting the metrics tell us which users have hit which pages, etc.
    Does any one know of that type of option? 
    Thanks
    Pete

  • Assigning of iviews

    Hi all
    I have created two iveiws
    KMNavigation iview
    web dynpro iview
    I want to assign these iviews to folder which is present in a workset
    How to do that
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    open the workset  and select the folder. After that go to the iview context menu add select the option "add iview to workset"
    This will add the iview into the folder of that workset.
    Otherwise it will add to the root of the workset.

  • Folder vs workset in roles

    HI,
      I want to assign a set of iviews/pages to a role. I would like to know what is the best practice to add this objects to a role, i.e.
    1. To create a role and create folders under this role and add pages/iviews to this folder
    2. To create worksets and add pages/iviews to it and finally to add worksets to a role.
    should I use worksets/folders under a role. if both can be used, when should i use which one.
    Thank you

    Hi Yogi,
    if you want to group iViews (for they belong together), you normally create a workset outside a role and add the iViews (as delta links) to the workset and then the workset (as delta link) to the role. This way you can very simply re-use this group in another place instead of putting all iViews again under a role folder.
    Role folders are normally only used for building a navigational structure.
    For building up the PCD and role content, also see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/4f/bceaffeb8c114ebef8255b63079c7c/frameset.htm

  • IView behavior under a role vs. preview

    Hi,
    Anyone knows why my iView is working fine in a preview but later when I see this iView under a role doesn't works? Maybe should I change some parameter of this iView like isolation method?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    the iView has a component that calls to another using Ajax but the request fails.
    What is the difference between iView behavior under a role and only launched in a preview?
