BW content in Portals

Hi All,
I have read various posts concerned with this topic and i am a bit confused actually. Please Help.
My issue is that i have a Portal Server and a Seperate BW Server. Until now, we have not dealt with any requirement concerned with pulling of data from BW server to display within the portal. These are the steps i followed.
1. Created a system giving the following fields
    system alias (SAP_BW)
    Application host (IP address of the BW server)
    Client (Client number of the BW server)
    Server Port (Server Port of BW server)
    System Number (System Number of the BW server)
    WAS path (hostname : port of the portal server)
    WAS Protocol (Protocol of the portal server)
2. I have created a new test iview (BEx Web Application iView (SAP BW 3.x Format) and given a query string of the required BW report.
But i am not getting the required page after i preview the iview. Is there something wrong?
Anything I should check, I have not much idea in BW
Please let me know. thanks.

Javascript error in Content Admin- Portal Content- iview Navigation window

Hi friends,
We are in the process of portal migration and as a part of this, we installed NW04 SPS 14 using Rapid Installer and then upgraded it to SPS 18. The components we upgraded are:
Java component
Portal Platform
Knowledge Management and Collaboration
Adobe Document Services
BI UDI
BI MMR
After upgradation, when we logged in to portal, we were not able to see/browse Portal pages/Roles/Iviews/Worksets (PCD Contents) under Content Administration->Portal Content.
Again, whichever window is there for navigation of PCD, we are not able to see the contents of PCD.For e.g. System Administration -> System Configuration.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Translated content in Portal Favourites iView

Hi All,
I have Portal roles in two languages English and German. I set the browser language to check the translations. Initially the browser language is English. When we add the role to Portal Favourites and then change the browser language to German, the text in the Roles is changed but the text in the Portal Favourites iview still remains in English. Can anyone tell me how to translate the content of Portal Favourites iview?
Thanks,
Priya

Hi,
You can upload an Image or an HTML file in the KM Repository and then create an iview pointing to that file. Assign that to a role and and make the entry point YES.
Assign that role to user.
Whenever that user logs in the image will be displayed.
Hope this helps!

How do we transfer content between Portals ?

Hi all ,
How do we transfer content between Portals . In SAP R3 we transfer content using transport request. can any one explain how do we transfer content between poptals (Development, quality and porduction systems)
Thanks
Rajeev.

Hi,
You will use Portal Transport to transport content between your DEV-QA-PROD system.
You will have to go to system administraton-->transport tab.
Create a transport package and add the portal content objects you wish to transport.
and download that as an EPA file and upload it to the next portal.

Browse/Capture on Content Administration/Portal Content -EP6

We're having problems trying to capture live (external) internet content from the portal when we create
URL iViews.
In EP5 the tool used to be called iView catcher and it allows you to get a portion of content from the web like a table (stock/weather). This functionality is not working in the portal and I am not sure if this is due to the privacy/partnership issues, but at the same rate, i see the functionality exists on EP 6.0 via
Content Administration/Portal Content. Right click on the folder and select New -> iView and from the list of templates select URL iView, enter name and id on the next screen. On the following screen you can enter a URL and we tested www.bbc.co.uk and then press the Browse/Capture button and the pop up window is not able to access this website.
The website does not appear in the Browse tab but if you save it does work when previewing the iView (example is iView url_test). However we just want to capture a part of the website and under the Capture tab it just says 'null' instead of the website(url) appearing.
Is this a known problem with EP(SP7), and perhaps fixed with SP9?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
James

Hi,
The iView catcher is available in EP6 start from SP9 and on (NW04).
If you select to create new iView - URL iView and then you choose browse / capture.
If it doesn't work well, you probably have problems with either proxy settings or your windows domain authentication.
Good luck,
Tuval

Seek easy and safe way for average users to manage the contents of Portal.

Dear all,
My boss today requested me to provide a easy, safe way for average users in my company to manage the contents of Portal themselves.
My boss request users can upload files, documents, images and text into Portal.
I know that Oracle Portal provides security control for editing Portal. But it also provides a quite complex operations for manage the contents of Portal.
I am afraid average users cannot manage it easily.
Can anyone have experience on the issues and can you give me suggestion?
Thanks a lot
George (HK)

Hi Vijay.B,
We can give privileges to manage the contents of the portal page.
Create a group and add the users into that group and for the page level privilege >>add this group as manage.
The members of the group can manage the page.I know the above is the standard strategy for users to manage the portal contents.
But, as an average user, I think it is still to complicated to manage.
For my case, I need to provide a means for average users to add news to the portal, so my priliminary idea is that I will create a portlet for news entries such as news heading, hyperlinks, text and save the entries in DB. Then, on the homepage of Portal, I will create another portlet for displaying the news headlines with hyperlink pointing to the actual URL.
thanks
George

SOLUTION - How to display a BLOB content in Portal Report

Courtesy of Kelly Wong:
1. Every time a record of the file information is inserted into the
PORTAL30.WWDOC_DOCUMENT table while you inserted a record to the blob
field in a portal form that you created.
[The fact that a file uploaded appears in the WWDOC_DOCUMENT table is actually a side-effect of Forms file upload, this may change in a future version. However this example gives a pretty good solution to the problem - Dmitry]
2. If you describe the PORTAL30.WWDOC_DOCUMENT table, you will find
that a few of the columns are: NAME, FILENAME, MIME_TYPE, BLOB_CONTENT,
CREATOR, etc.
3. I created a pl/sql procedure that takes a NAME parameter.
The code of the procedure is as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE Procedure get_url
(V_FILENAME IN VARCHAR2)
IS
url varchar2(100);
BEGIN
url := '/pls/portal30/docs/'| |v_filename;
portal30.wwv_redirect.url(p_url =>url);
END;
4. I then created a portal report, select NAME, FILENAME, MIMETYPE,
CREATOR fields from PORTAL30.WWDOC_DOCUMENT. (remember, no BLOB_CONTENT
field is selected!) My select statement is:
SELECT '<A
HREF="scott.get_url?v_filename='| |name| |'">'| |filename| |'</A>' filename,
name,mime_type,creator
from portal30.wwdoc_document
where creator = 'KELLY'
You can see that I am passing in "NAME" instead of "FILENAME" into the
get_url procedure because the it needs the "NAME" info to display the
file.
Actually, the content in the NAME column is something like:"563.TXT",
and the content in the FILENAME column is "F15675/IPORTAL_LOCAL.TXT".
The hyperlink can be either on the NAME or FILENAME field, as long as
you pass in the content of "NAME" into the procedure.
And it should be fairly easily to substring the FILENAME to show only
"IPORTAL_LOCAL.TXT" if the client doesn't like to see the number
portion.
That is, when I click on the link, I am able to see my file in a new
browser window.The only drawback in this scenario is if there is a link
from your document to a portal component (form/report), it may not link
to the form/report. If there are links in the document link to other
document (html, txt, etc.), it will be no problem. It just open the
document in another browser window.
Please feel free to give me any comment on this and post it to the forum
if needed. I just don't want to search for the original questions in
the forum and attach the reply to it.
Regards;
Kelly.

Is this method working also for portal 3.0.9?
I can't get it to work.
Is there a way do put a link to download the content of a blob field inside a report in version 3.0.9 that comes with iAS 1.0.2.2?
Thank's in advance
Mauro

Can't create user into backend system and contents in portal.

hi expert,
I installed EP(EP,BI-JAVA) as add in installation on existing BI-ABAP system based NW04s.
I can log on portal by abap user. But unubale to create any content and user in ABAP through portal.
What must be done after setup Addin JAVA STACK??
I assign following roles to test user.
Administrators :UME Database
Authenticated Users:Built-in Group Authenticated Users Built-in Groups Adapter
Everyone
but the error message is like "An error occurred in the persistence. The original and possible not translatet message was: "BAPI_USER_CREATE1@BWBCLNT100: ID=01, NUMBER=491, MESSAGE=You are not authorized to create users in group". Contact your system administrator. "
If anyone can advice me, it would be appreciated very much.
Regards
MASAKI

If this is what you mean "But unubale to create any content and user in ABAP through portal"....
creating users in portal is not possible since your UME is now linked to the ABAP in an add-in installation or a dual stack system users can only be created in the ABAP system and with the roles SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION_RO /without RO should let you create users in the ABAP stack....
you can only assign roles to users on the Portal for the ABAP users ...
heres the reason...
Combined AS for ABAP + Java installation
If you install an AS for ABAP + Java, UME is automatically set up to use the ABAP user management of the same Web AS installation. This option uses the configuration file dataSourceConfiguration_abap.xml.
AS for Java installation
If you install SAP Net Weaver AS for Java the UME is linked to the java database with users and groups in the Java system database, or if you want to subsequently connect an LDAP directory to the UME. This option uses the configuration file dataSourceConfiguration_database_only.xml

Howto deploy content via portal application

Hi all,
currently i'm integrating some external web apps into my EP6.0 SP2. Therefore I use the application integrator plus some iview und system templates.
I've developed the templates as components in a portal application in the portalapp.xml.
But now I'm searching for a way to deploy not only the templates but also real content, e.g. instances of my templates with a portalapp.xml.
At this time I must make the concrete iviews based on my templates by hand.
Is there any doc outside the targets this approach? What I've found is the Portal Runtime Guide, whith an overview of portalapp.xml structure, but nothing concrete.
Regards
Steffen...

Thanks for the reply ... here is the answer to your questions along with an update to some more information after trying something different
Did you deploy the WebCenter Managed server from Jdeveloper
I am deploying the application to the WebCenter Managed server from JDeveloper.
What managed server did you deploy it to - a custom server that you created?
Yes this is a custom Managed Server (called MindFlow). At the time of your response the only two servers up and running on WebCenter was the AdminServer and MindFlow.
Did the deployment go through?
Yes
Are there any errors in the managed server log when you access the page?
Yes these where the errors showing that it could not connect with the metadata via the repositories.
Now for the update:
I went ahead and started up the WLS_Portlet managed server that comes with WebCenter. When I did this I got the following error:
WSM-04509: cannot initialize the connection to the data store
I then deployed the Portlet Producer Application to the WLS_Portlet from JDeveloper. I then grabbed the url for the newly created portlet producer and updated the connection on the Portal application. After doing this and updating the portal.jspx file, I then deployed the Portal application to the MindFlow managed web server. I then brought up the portal.jspx page via a browser and was able to bring back results. The only issue now is that while doing this I got multiple MDS errors (including the initialize error above) and not sure if I can ignore these or not. One of the errors received was as follows:
oracle.mds.exception.MDSException: MDS-01258: The value @MDS_CLASS for property class-name is invalid.

Open KM Navigation Content in Portal Content area

Folks,
We have a km navigation iview and want to open the contents in the portal content area instead of opening the links in a new window. I don't find any configurable options. What are the development effort options and how big is the effort? Any hint will be very helpful.
Regards,
Tridib

Hi Tridib,
see /thread/87593 [original link is broken] for the example of external links. If I'm right in this, the same would hold for other renderers.
Hope it helps
