Caching on detailed navigation besides navigation cache?

Hello Everyone,
We use Btexx EasyWCM as a content management system on our SAP NW portal.
When we create a new page in the portal it should appear directly in the detailed navigation, but instead it appears much much later, often after more then an hour. The same happens when deleting a page.
We thought of navigation cache at first but we disabled it and the problem was still there.
Because the new page does appear after a while, what makes it time-based, we still think it might be a caching issue. We don't know what other caches influence the detailed navigation.
The page does appear in the PCD (role) directly after it is made, same goes for deletion.
We tried a restart already, but that didn't resolve anything. And I donu2019t think it's a network problem because the PCD updates instantly. Just the detailed navigation doesn't. Even when we changed the customised detailed navigation back to the standard SAP detailed navigation there was no difference.
We tried creating a page directly on the server so the caches of the proxy's etc could be excluded and the problem was still there.
Thanks.

Hello Sander,
that's good to hear. But you do not need not turn the navigation cache off.
easyWCM supports the new Navigation Cache API. If a editor changes navigation structures, easyWCM automatically invalidates the relevant roles from the cache.
Please check if your SAP Portal release and easyWCM release supports that feature.
More information are available on our support plattform:

Hope you are using IE. If so,
1. Go to Tools - > Internet Options - > Advanced .
Enable " http1.1 through Proxy Connections".
2. Increase the Cache.

SAP Web Page Composer: Detailed Navigation is not getting built

Hello!
I am new at this forum. At first I´d like to say hello to everybody! :]
Our issue concerns the following:
We started to work mit the Web Page Composer to build websites für our workers. Everything worked fine until the detailed WPC-navigation is not getting built anymore. We have this issue after a portal restart. Every steps to build and publish a website were done the right way.
1. Publish navigation und paste it to the external connector of the role in the form "wpcnavigation:///wpcontent..."
2. Permissions and security zones were set. Even the super admin is not able to see the detaild navigation anymore.
It is still possible to put single webpages to iViews and then to display them in the portal. And every function of the Web Page Composer works fine. The caches are deactivated. I tried to build a new site with new pages and a new navigation but there is the same problem, no detailed navigation is shown in the portal navigation. The role is assigned to a user and he can see the role at the top navigation but when clicking on it no detailed navigation appears, just a blank page.
As I mentioned this iusse appears after a portal restart. What could be the problem?
Thank you in advance!
Best regards
Georg

Hello Sandeep!
I created a new role and also did the Initial Configurations but it still does not work. May be there is a problem with the external connector where I connect the WPC navigation with the portal navigation? I know it sounds confusing but is there may be a way I could "reset" the WPC configuration? Because at the moment I tried to merge roles the system saved "some configuration" and started to avoid displaying the detailed navigation. So if could delete/reset/change this configuration, it could be that the navigation will be displayed again? I do not unterstand, if I just use one role and so avoid merging roles it just should work again? Or I am on the wrong way? Hopefully I am not telling bull**** right now! :]
At this moment our system running SAP NetWeaver 7.00 SP18. The patch is only available at least SAP NetWeaver 7.00 SP20. We are probably going to upgrade in october to SAP NetWeaver 7.00 SP23 and then we can update the WPC, too. Our Basis said, I have to wait till october. Before this upgrade no updates will be done.
Thanks for your help so far!
Kind regards!

Adding a new link to Detailed Navigation

Hi,
I have created a new iview, now I have to display this iview in MSS by providing a link in the detailed navigation of the MSS role.
Can you tell me how add a new link in the detailed navigation iview ?
Regards
Bharath

Yes, For finding the appropriate Workset, In User administrator, check what all roles and Groups are assigned to the user. This will have the PCD path of role aswell. Once PCD path obtained, Open the Role and Via "Trace delta link" option find the approproate MSS role and Workset. Open MSS workset or Role, and Add your iview.
if it doesn reflect even after adding in this, Go to System administration -> navigation and clear all cache and check.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.

Portal detailed navigation is missing

Hi, Gurus.
Good day!
I'd like to seek help from you because one of our end users reported that whenever he chose the links (which is under the portal favorites), the detailed navigation is missing.
I checked with most of the users, and their detailed navigation is showing okay. It seems that it only affects to one user.
I tried clearing the entire navigation cache but the issue still persists.
Would you be able to advice on this matter?
Thank you,
Virgilio

hi virgilio,
i see.
first check if the collapse tray state is open (title bar on the right). if not - try to clear the personalization data within the portal of those users and check again (http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-2753 - the chapter "Deleting the Personalization through Personalization Clean up" also applies for NW7.31)

christian

Open iviews in new window from detailed navigation context menu function

hello,
when we click in the detail navigation menu and in the context menu (because many of ours users are used to right click to open a link in a new window on the internet) on the functionnality "open in new window", the start page is always display instead of the corresponding iview ...
could you tell me if there is a configuration into the portal to :
1- suppress the function "open in new window" from the context menu in the detailed navigation !
2- make the iview displayed into the new window really the iview desired !
best regards,
Olivier.

Hi Olivier,
The frist part is very precise. Not possible. Period. The reason is that the links are calling JS and not directly calling a http target.
About the second part: Within the Light Framework, you create a Light Detailed Navigation. And in this case, the links are direct http links. So with that, you have what you want.
For the Light Framework see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/43/0174a642406db7e10000000a422035/frameset.htm and around.
Hope it helps

Hi Rajendra,Stephan
Please check the naviagtion properties for the IView.
The radio button agaist the property "Invisible in Navigation area"should be selected to No.
Or just make sure all the navigation properties for IView are correct.
Hope this helps

Can't find services in the Detailed Navigation when open from Overview page

Hi,
We have developed a custom area page for our ESS application. The area is visible in the Overview page as well as in TLN (Top leavel navigation). When we open the area from TLN the services under this area are visible in the Detailed Navigation(DN) on the left. But when we are trying to open the area from the overview page we can't be able to see the services in the DN and we have realized that the focus is on "Overview" in the TLN. In DN also only the Overview link is coming. But for other standard ESS applications the focus in the TLN is changing.
Please help to find the solution.
Thanks,
Sekhar

Hi Sekhar,
Did you get any solution for this issue. I am facing the same situation.Please advise.

Detail Navigation missing when i link a web page in the WPC Scenario

Hi to all.
I had publish WPC site with the External Connector method.
I have some Web Pages linked in the Navigation Structure, when i link one of this from a internal link (for example in a List link or other) I displayed the page and the detail navigation is visible and the focus on the destination page is light.
Well, when I try to link a Web Page that not is linked in the Navigation structure (open it in the same page) the Navigation structure is missing.
Why? How i can leave the NAvigation structure and display the page?
Many thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,
this scenario is not supported by WPC. I think it was written somewhere (in a note or so). The problem is that if a page is not included in the navigation structure there is no navigation node associated. And so link to that page does not contain NavigationTarget therefore it does not trigger a real portal navigation but just displays the page in the iframe in which it has been fired. That means if you are using the standard framework page (i.e. with frames) page is shown in the inner most frame and the rest is untouched (side effect from which is that the TLN is not updated) and if you are using the light framework page after click the page is shown on the whole window as there are no iframes.
May be you would be able to work around this by selecting such page to be opened in pop up window. Other options exist but they are more complicated as solutions.
Hope that helps.

Links in detailed navigation

how do i add new links in the detailed navigation section? is it added in workset or page?

Hi Arun,
The Hierarchy of Portal object is iview, Page, workset, role. You can view application once the role is assigned to the user. If the entry point is role, role and workset appears in the Top Level Navigation (TLN) and the rest of the hierarchy appears in Detailed Level Navigation. Usually the no of items in TLN is 2. We can change it to 1,2 or 3 depending on the requirement and the rest if any will appear in the DLN. So we cannot say which object appears in the DLN.
Also there is concept of Workset within Workset, Page within Page. It all depends how the object is packaged.
Have a look at this documentation

How to put a web link in the detailed navigation

How can you put a web link in the detailed navigation?
I know that if your role contains iviews that are 3 levels down (default), then the link to the iview will appear in the detailed navigation. But, I want to put a link to a external site in the detailed navigation - is this possible?
Thanks
Patrick

I have a page set with a url iview and it opens from the detailed navigation in a new window fine.
however when clicking on a link to the page via a landing page which displays the KM content page folders, it loads it in the portal active window still (with nav and masthead).
Any ideas how to get the km link to open in a new browser window?
thanks

Can you default a detailed navigation folder to an "open" state?

We have a workset containing iViews, and the detailed navigation on the left displays the iViews within a folder as we would like. However, the folder defaults to being closed, thus making the user click twice to arrive at an iView inside. Is there a way to default that folder to being open?

Hi Kris,
Its is not possible to have a folder expanded by default when you have all other parallel folders are closed.
Either you can expand only the root folder on DLN or expand all the folders. Expanding all the folder option would need DLN .par customization.
Set the below settings to open launched folder:
Go to Your current Framework Page -> Desktop inner page -> Open Detailed Navigation iView and set the property -> Open Folder when Launched as yes.
Initial State of Navigation Panel option shall expand/close the entire DLN.

How to Display Detailed navigation passing Top level navigation node name

Hi All,
I have prepared a DLN par file but unfortunatly my requirement is such that I need to pass one of the toplevel node name as input parameter and that should display the corresponding DLN which is from 3rd level.
I have checked in sdn for passing a value to the navigation tag lib which will consider it as a selectednode but could find none.
Can some body suggest me how to acheive this.
Thanks in Advance.
Sai Krishna. K

Hi Kiran,
Thanks for your Reply..
Following is my Scenario:
I use 2 same versions of portals connected via federated portal concept.
I have my detailed navigation par file in portal2 and was calling it from portal1 from a iview.
Since I am not physically navigating in portal2(which mean there is no selected node to iterate ), when I call that iview in portal1 it is picking up only 1st node in top level navigation.
So i need to pass "My reports" (as 1st level) & "India" (as 2nd level) as parameters such that it gets only its DTN at all times from 3rd level.
Hope you understand my scenario, below is my iteration code logic.
<div id="myslidemenu" class="jqueryslidemenu">
<ul>
     <nav:iterateSelectedNavNodesLevel level="<%=START_LEVEL%>">
     <%-- the 'currentDepth' attribute provides the byte value of the current level --%>
    <nav:recurseNavNodeChildren currentDepth="depth">
         <% current = start + depth.intValue() - 1; %>
         <%=writeClosingTags(last - current)%>
         <%
        last = current;
        %>
        <%-- we want to distinguish between folder and leaf nodes so we can use different graphics --%>
          <%-- complete the html syntax for the 'class' attribute pass it as an anchor attribute--%>
          <li><nav:navNodeAnchor navigationMethod="byURL" />
          <%-- checks for additional navigation level and the appropriate html tags to accomodate them --%>
        <nav:ifNextRecursionDepthWillIncrease>
            <ul>
        </nav:ifNextRecursionDepthWillIncrease>
        <nav:ifNextRecursionDepthWillNotChange>
            </li>
        </nav:ifNextRecursionDepthWillNotChange>
    </nav:recurseNavNodeChildren>
    <%=writeClosingTags(last - start)%>
    <% last = start; %>
</nav:iterateSelectedNavNodesLevel>
</ul>
</div>
As per the passing parameter concept please explain me a bit more clear with step by step procedure.
<b>Here if not passing parameters, providing static values will also do for my requirement.</b>
Many Thanks,
Sai Krishna.

How to disable automatic loading of iView/Page in detailed navigation?

Hello,
We've upgraded our portal 7.0 from SP9 to SP12.
I've noticed that SAP have added this change: Whenever a user is navigating between one role/tab to another in the top level navigation the first folder at the detailed navigation is automatically opened and the first content there is automatically loaded.
I would like to disable this option - I've looked at the new properties that have been added to the detailed navigation iView between SP9 and SP12 and could only find these two: Display Parent of Hidden Node and Open Folder When Launched.
These two are not solving this problem and they are disabled anyway.
Any ideas...?
Roy

Roy,
Role and Workset Hierarchy:
Folders F1 and F2 (Roles) are defined as entry points and therefore appear on the first level of the top level navigation bar. What happen is when we click F1 (Role), the underlying folders F1a and F1b (Worksets) appear on the second level. On click on F1a the first entry F1a (Workset) of the second level is activated and its contents (iViews) are displayed in the detail navigation and the contents of the iView is displayed in the portal page of the content area.
And same procedure happens with F2 role on the first level of the top level navigation bar. When we click on the F2 (Role) the underlying folders F2a and F2b (Worksets) appear on the second level of the top level navigation bar. On click on F2a the first entry F2a (Workset) of the second level is activated and its contents (iViews) are displayed in the detail navigation and the contents of the iView is displayed in the portal page of the content area.
I think need to configure levels of TLN which includes top level navigation, detail navigation and content area and then need to define the entry points.
Below are the links for configuring levels of TLN and right below it you will find link for define entry point:

How can you set the default width of the 'Detailed Navigation iView'?

Hello,
we would like to reduce the default width of the 'Detailed Navigation iView' in order to save some screen space.
So far, we havn't found the right item in the portal admin to do this.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Frank Schülke, E.ON Ruhrgas, Germany

Hi Frank,
You can change the width of this navigation iview by changing the value of "defaultExpWidth" in the file WAandNAVPanel.js present in the par file com.sap.layouts.framework.par from default value 220 pixels to the value you want.
upload the changed par file and restart the server.
Hope this helps,
(if not do get back )
