Configure Portal content

I would like to know if there is a document that describes the process of creating content and the structure.
For example I want to know what are the sequential steps in creating content for my backend BW and R2 systemm.
Do I create folder and then workset first or create backens system connection first and then create folder roles etc etc.
I have found a couple documents but I would like to see if there is one with a concrete example of a project in portal.
Thank
John

John,
not sure if I understand you correctly. You want to integrate an SAP BW system and an R/3 (I assume you are not talking about SAP R/2, are you?) in SAP EP.
What do you want to integrate? For instance, for BW you can integrate BW web reports fairly easy. For R/3, you can integrate access to either SAPGUI for Windows and Java or WebGUI (i.e. ITS) with single sign-on. Additionally, for specific applications running on R/3, designated content (read: iViews) have beeen developed that are available at www.iviewstudio.com. Lastly, you can code your own iViews and access SAP data from there.
It all depends on what you want to do, just please give dome more details
Regards,
Dominik

Configuring portal content EP7 SP9

Hi experts
I have finished installation Enterprise 7 SP9 and now want to configure it.Iam using SAP Best Practices for portals v1.70 .When i try to configure the portal content ,the browse tab is coming out empty as i need to create a system that will connect to the portal.Am i using the correct BP or i need to import a SCA for that.
Your ideas are most welcome.

Hi Tsungy,
Are you using IP address to access portal,if so access the portal with Fully Qualified Domain name instead of IP address after making an entry in the host file,i.e,
http://<hostname>:<portnumber>/irj/portal
Hope this helps,
Regards,

Portal Runtime Error when operating "Portal Content"

Hi there,
these days, I installed a NW710 in our team server, and try to configure its UWL to one backend system. Therefore I need to create a new system entry from "System Administration->System Configuration->Portal Content->New->System(from template)".
After a few test, I found I can't do these operations: "add folder", "open properties", "open permissions", "new system", I got following runtime error when I clicked them:
If anybody encounter the similar issue? great appreciate your clues!

Hi,
Were u able to do the operations before the UWL configuration? There is possibility that it would have been caused because of improper configurations also.

Configure of Portal Content for Material

Hello,
Need some direction on Configuration of Portal for Material, What would be the Web Dynpro application for Portal Configuration?
Web Dynpro Application: MDG_BS_MAT_OVP or USMD_ENTITY_VALUE2
Application Configurations: BS_MAT_OVP_03
We are working on MDG 6.1.
Regards, Srihari

Thanks Abdullah,
As per MDG doc, Portal shall import USMD_ENTITY_VALUE2. My question is we need to give Web Dynpro Application & Application Configurations and additional parameters to configure XML content.
So what would be the Webdynpro ID here.

Collaboration Launch Pad as iview in the Portal content

Hi friends,
i have the following problem. I configured the collaboration launch pad (real time collaboration) and it works fine.
I just don´t want to start the iview from the collaboration link next to the TREX search. Instead of that i need the iview with the user status and the possibility to start an instant message session within the portal content.
Does anyone know if it is possible and what is the name of the corresponding iview?
Thanks in advance
Michael

Hi Michael
Create an new iView (new from PAR => iView) and select the com.sap.netweaver.coll.shared.ui
Create a link in the iView to the contacts:
In the iView properties add in field "Path for Initially Displayed Folder": /alias/%3Cmycontacts%3E
and in field "Path for Start Uri": /alias/<mycontacts>
Hope this helps.
This worked, but I needed also to activate the Tool Area with activated CLP link. I didn't get it work without Tool Area.

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?

Nilz

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

MDM 7,1 Portal Content

I have configured MDM 7.1 Portal content and I am facing issuse that I do not have control on . For example if I edit an existing record and try saving the changes it saves and automatically creates a duplicate record.
If I try to duplicate a particular record , the result set and item detail iView keeps on refreshing ending up in a number of record getting created on the background. When I try to close a particular item details it just gets stuck and the item details and result set both start refreshing . The only option to get out of this situation is close the browser,
Now is this a bug that I will have to wait for SAP to fix or there is something we can do .

Hi,
Yes, I have configured UWL with MDM 7.1. The NextStep action button for triggering the workflow to next step is not displayed on its own. You have to change the UWL xml file in portal for displaying it.
Create a new action element in ItemType element( uwl.task.mdm.tasks.<SystemAliasName>), use the following code
        <Action name="WFNextStep" groupAction="no" handler="IViewLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="workflowTable" value="${item.workflowTable}"/>
            <Property name="iview" value="pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/specialist/com.sap.pct.mdm.appl.mdm_550/com.sap.pct.mdm.appl.iviews/com.sap.pct.mdm.appl.workflow.nextstep"/>
            <Property name="userId" value="${item.userNames}"/>
            <Property name="stepId" value="${item.stepId}"/>
            <Property name="systemId" value="${item.systemId}"/>
            <Property name="jobId" value="${item.jobId}"/>
          </Properties>
          <Descriptions default="Send to Next Step"/>
        </Action>
After this, the UWL iview will have a button named "Send to Next Step". On click of this button a page showing the next steps of workflow will open in new window. You can also configure it to open in the same window.

Suresh

Error in Portal Content Tree

Im using EP 6.0, when I go to Portal content, I can't see the options. In browser's options I have the script enable and cookie enable.

Hi,
Normally, after new installation, no problem should occur.
Check if there are any errors you can find in the defaultTrace.
Ask if your Admin can access Portal content, if so then it is only permissions issue.
If your admin even cannot access pcd, then check PCDStartup.Properties file under C:\usr\sap\F20\SYS\global\pcd
and check if all configurations are correct.
Check this:

Error in portal content

Hi experts!!
Just yesterday our basis person finished the EP installation.
I tried to access the portal content to start designing iviews etc.. but under the tab "browse" in the portal content nothing was there.
Since this is my first portal project i am a bit freaked up!

I believe it has something to do with roles and permissions..maybe??
Thanx in advance!!!!
P.S. I will reward points to useful answers

Javascript error when loading Portal Content

I used "NW04 SP16 sneakpreview".
Installation went fine but I can't seem to get anything in my portal content PCD. Below on the left I have Javascript errormsg which states the following:
Line: 90
Char: 3
Error: 'undefined' is null or not an object
Code: 0
Url: (very long url)
I thought it had something to do with the errormsg that I received about the encryption config failure (see below) so I executed sap note 796540:
If you installed the J2EE Engine with "weak encryption", the most probable cause for problems with user mapping is incorrect configuration. To resolve this, set the UME property "ume.usermapping.unsecure" to "TRUE", restart the J2EE server, and try again.
But this dit not the trick unfortunantly.
I also checked for permissions for my Admin but he has Super_Admin so that should be ok to I think.
Perhaps it has something to do with not having a System Landscape defined but how can I do this?
Or is it something else that I have overseen? Perhaps installing a license? (which I did not do yet)
Thank you for your assistance.
Kind regards,
Tom.
PS if you need more info I'll provide it for you.

Thanks for your update, we have resolved the issue with this help. Very thankfull.

I am trying to create a sample IView. All the helpcentres talked about using Portal Content Studio -> Content Management -> and then create a IView.
But i am using sneakpreview, in portal content studio i donot see any objects.
What can be the probable reason?

Portal content virus checking

In our site configuration, connections even to Intranet web servers pass though a proxy server that is is charge of virus scanning each page/file server.
While adding more security on virus propagation, this configuration is a KILLER of portal performances.
I'm wondering why we should check each page and file sent to the users instead of certifying the portal content by checking the edit actions only. What I'm interested into is a way to qualify all the items stored in the portal (mainly in content areas), with less interest to html/javascript (almost all of this content is generated automatically by the portal, and anyway the rest -what is entered by a developer- is hard to be modified by a virus...).
Any suggestion for an implementation? Thanks

This problem is fixed in Release 2. There is no supported workaround in 3.0.
