Configuring WSRP apllication sharing in Federated Poratl Network

Hi All,
I am trying to implement a Federated Portal Network between two portals. I have established trust between the two, registered the consumer with the producer and is able to see the consumer and producer in view my consumer and view my producer respectively.
Now while creating a WSRP application sharing,after creating a new iview by using template proxy to portlet, in the conclusive step the available portlet is not expanding the portal component and no content is visible from the consumer.
Any inputs will be appreciated...

Thanks.

But I want to know more on FPN,
how to setup?
how to manage?
any configurations we have to do?
what are the requirements in terms of software/hardware etc...
if there is any detailed document, please help me on that.
I have already gathered few docs from help.sdn and snd forums. but setup, configuration, maintain, requirements .. still on mess in my mind.

Hi Kiran,
You should be able to find the answers to the questions you posted in the FPN documentation set on teh SAP Help Portal, which you can find here: <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/5b/9f2d4293825333e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/5b/9f2d4293825333e10000000a155106/frameset.htm</a>.
Note that the documentation assumes you have prior portal experience. The solution is based on NW2004s.
If you have any comments (good and bad) about the documentation feel free to post to this thread.

How to configure KM in federated portal network

Dear Friends,
Can anyone help me in configuring KM in federated portal network. If KM is configured in producer portal how to make use of that KM content in consumer portal.
Is it possible to directly configure KM in consumer portal?
Please help me out.
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.

Hi Sireesha,
1) In order to use all capabilities provided by Knowledge Management, the
recommended solution would be to use KM only on one portal in the federation.
This could be the central consumer portal or alternatively one of the producer
portals. Then all features, like versioning, taxonomies, approval workflows,
subscriptions, template-based publishing will be available in this portal.
2) In case KM has to be federated to different producer portals, KM iViews (e.g.
Document iViews, Navigation iViews) could be integrated with the content sharing
modes provided by FPN. However, this is not a deep integration, because only a
redirect to the remotely located iViews is performed. The services themselves, like
taxonomies, will not be available in the consumer portal.
The recommended approach is to Configure KM on Consumer Portal only or Producer portal only.

Questions on Federated Portal Network

Hi All,
I have a few questions on Federated Portal Network. Please if someone can provide appropriate answers
It is said that the look n feel will be same. Will the consumer have the look n feel of the producer or the producer application will have the look n feel of the consumer portal. Also, if it is required for the content of the producer portal to maintain it's own look n feel, is it possible
How to take care of the performance bottlenecks. Are there any standards available to improve the performance
Any limitation on the no of producer portals which can be configured with the consumer portal
If one portlet, has undergone some kind of change, then how is the consumer portal notified of this. Is there some kind of synchronization mechanism that takes place or this change is implicitly conveyed to the consumer portal, both in the case of Remote Delta Link or Remote Role Assignment
How does the session management work between the consumer portal and producer portal
What is meant by transitive content sharing
Regards
Nikhil

Hi Rasmus,
Is your consumer portal required High Availability? A scheduled re-bounce of the instance should help (weekly, monthly, etc.) as a preventive measure. Maybe you can observe to see how long does it take before the problem comes back (after a full cache refreshed) and then schedule your re-bounce accordingly. As much as we try to do our best, "things" happen
Or, you can adjust your cache settings (e.g. reduce the maxValidityPeriodInSecond property) to avoid the problem.

According to the following link, the cache stores only semantic objects (iViews, pages, layouts and roles); since worksets are not semantic objects, could that be why?!

Configuring SMTP Namespace Sharing between two Exchange Forests on the same LAN

Hi guys, really hoping that someone can help me with configuring SMTP Namespace Sharing between two Exchange Forests on the same LAN.
Basically, I have created a new forest and installed a new exchange organisation in this forest. Both forests are located on the same IP subnet and a two way trust has been created between the forests. Federated sharing has also been configured.
I can use ADMT to migrate the user and computer accounts to the new forest and also migrate test mailboxes over. Ideally, I want to be able to do the mailbox migrations in stages so will need to be able to have mail flowing between the two forests.
I have read over the following article (http://ibrahimnore.wordpress.com/2012/09/06/configuring-smtp-namespace-sharing-between-two-exchange-forests-part-2/)
which is good but it's demonstrating over the internet, can anybody advise how this can be achieved on the local LAN?
Any help greatly appreciated :-)

Hi Gilliano,
Thanks for correct link. I must say this is a very good article indeed, I read the entire article and if you go to the 3rd part of this article, please note the text "DOMAINC.COM is configured as Internal Relay Accepted Domain on both the domains"
This is exactly what I asked you to check. Personally, I understand the method described in this article will work but its very complex to manage and administer, while the easiest option is to configure internal relay at the first place and no need to make
so many DNS changes and customizations to your environment.
The solution really depends on what your requirement is - Since you mentioned that you are migrating stuff over from source to destination - I feel this article is too complex for your situation and not really worth (for your requirement). The setup described
in the article is an excellent choice if you are planning to keep both forests alive for longer duration due to several reasons like compliance or company mergers and so on...
please let me know if my explanation is not clear enough.. we can even even have a one-on-one email conversation too!
All the best!
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. Regards, Siva

Using GRC in a Federated Portal Network

Hi All,
We are usning a Federated Portal Network and would like to do Role provisioning through GRC.I know that GRC can do role provisioning in one single portal.
I would like to find out if it can be done in a Federated Portal Environment in which I have a Consumer and Producer Portal.
In Simple Terms - I would like to Assign a role that is present in the Producer Portal through the Consumer portal (This is called as Remote Role Assignment) using GRC.
Can anyone please help me with this.
Any thoughts will be very helpful.
Best Regards,
Vivek

Hi Vivek,
I have worked with CUP and EP and it works fine. I have not used CUP with Federated Portal so I don't have idea about this. It seems it will act something like CUA for EP. Am I correct?
CUP works with CUA but for that, it has to bec configured for CUA. I don't see any separate configuration for Federate Portal. Can you open a Customer message with SAP about this?
I doubt this will work but it is worth a try. Please let me know about the outcome.

Can't see any shared devices within my network, only devices that aren't in my network.

One of my students updated to Mavericks. Since then she hasn't been able to see shared devices on our network, most importantly, our Mac server that we use for file storage. We're in a protected wireless network that only people from our department can sign in to. She can however see a couple of dozen computers from outside of our network, but nothing from within ours.
I deleted the entry for our wireless network in the Keychain, thinking that maybe a setting within it got corrupted. Didn't resolve the issue.
Any ideas?

It's worth double checking the device is on the correct network.
See if the IP address is correct for the network range and you see the correct router etc. Bonjour is a broadcast service, so it doesn't usually cross networks and subnets unless that has been configured to do so.
It could be that another remembered network is being used instead of the protected one.
If you can open Terminal you can try flushing the local cache…
dscacheutil -flushcache
You can also see if she has 'mdns' records for your server (assuming afp is running) via …
dns-sd -B _afpovertcp
You will need to hit ctrl+c to exit this tool.
Bonjour Browser is easier to use to see records, but it would need installing.

UWL in Federated Portal Network

Hi All,
Can anyone please suggest how UWL works in case of Federated Portal Network? I have a requirement to show the tasks, alerts, notifications from more then one Producer in the same UWL iview on Consumer.
I followed the steps as mentioned in the SAP help document Running the UWL in the Consumer Portal http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/8084e2e8c9487fe10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm but no luck.
I would appreciate if anyone can let me know the proper process for doing this or could provide any document for it.
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Seema Rane.

Hi Seema,
There are two ways to configure UWL on the federated portal:
1. Run UWL on the Consumer Portal:
a. Everything must be copied over, including xml files. Retrieve information directly from the backend. Use the IviewLauncher Handler. This uses the remote delta link from the producer.
Have a look here at the help documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/8084e2e8c9487fe10000000a114a6b/content.htm
2. Run UWL in Producer Portal:
a. Here the configuration is predefined.
b. Use remote role assignment or remote delta links
producer remote delta links should be available as remote delta links on the consumer.
copy as remote delta links; config is done on the producer
Have a look here at the help documentation:
EP7
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/81ab2f3bab6975e10000000a114a6b/content.htm
(for nw701, 702, 720 search the help documentation accordingly)
I hope that this information is helpful to you.

Federated Portal Network not working - specific scenario!

hi,
I tried to implement Federated Portal Network between three systems.
2 Producers
1 Consumer.
The systems i use are in the following fashion
Producer 1: Sneak Preview NW04s EP700 SP09
Consumer : Sneak Preview NW04s EP700 SP09
Producer 2: NW04s Full Version (EP 700 + BI 7.0) SP09
The scenario between Producer1 and Consumer works fine. I'm able to see the roles that are in the Producer1 from my consumer.
But the scenario between Producer2 and my COnsumer doesn't work. I'm not even able to see any roles that are there in my producer from my consumer.
Can someone tell me why this is happening? Is there anyother configuration that i need to do in extra to this if i'm using an ABAP+Java System?
I've followed http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/5b/9f2d4293825333e10000000a155106/content.htm

Kindly Help.

Hello,
We were able to resolve the issue by removing the proxy settings on both portals. We think it was something in the SPS17 support pack that made these settings obsolete.
On both portals, navigate to System Administration u2192 System Configuration u2192 Service Configuration.
Go to the Portal Catalog, navigate to the com.sap.portal.ivs.httpservice application.
Open the proxy service.
Remove the proxy server property values, as necessary and leave the defaults for Proxy Server.
NOTE: We are using a reverse proxy and we did have to define its settings in the proxy service. But after installing SPS17 we had to remove them and restart both portals. This resolved our FPN issues.
Thank you,

Federated Portal Network - Error-"Unexpected Error - Unable to get IView

Hi,
I have configured FPN with EP and BI, both are on same SP level.The connection and the producer registration is successful.
The producer contents can be navigated in Consumer and I can able to copy and paste the producer content in the consumer.
But when I see the preview the content it shows error "
500 Internal Server Error
BEx Web Application
Faile to process request; contact your system administrator
Error Summary
Exception occured while processing the current request; this exception cannot be handled by the application or framework
If the information on this page does not help you locate and correct the cause of the problem, contact your system administrator
To facilitate analysis of the problem, keep a copy of this error page Hint: Most Web browsers allow you to select all content, and copy and paste it into an empty document (such as in an email or simple text file)
Root Cause
The initial exception that caused the request to fail was:
Unexpected error - Unable to get IView:fpn:<consumer>/pcd:portal_content/Iviews_ID/BTMP_20110425_065001:NFd1NOBZQUPn2gQkVO65Lw%3D%3D:1:
I have checked the following thread, but I'm not able to find out solution,
Federated Portal Network - Unexpected Error - Unable to get IView
what could be the reason,
Really appriciated for your reply.
Regards,
Mahee.

Hi Shanti,
Thank for reply.
I have checked with same user in both consumer & producer portals, In that case its working fine.
If you checked with other consumer users its asking password.
For this I have tried usermapping with producer id under goto personolize -->remote iviews --> select default alias -->enter id/pwd and save for other consumer id.
How we manage for all consumer users, is there any option to mapping to all users at time.
really appriciate your inputs.

Federated portal network to set a chat between different portals

Hi,
We need to set a chat between <b>two different portals</b> (each portal is placed in a different geographical location). Our doubt is if it's possible create the chat using a federated portal network.
We think if we create the chat in the producer portal (enabling collaboration launch pad, instant messaging, etc. etc.) and after we use <b>remote content copy</b>, a user from the consumer portal can access to chat configured in the producer using producer's iViews and collaboration services.
Is this scenario possible? Do we have to use remote role assigment instead of remote content copy?
Thanks in advance,
Samantha.

There are two discussions going on same topic, we are heading nowhere, please take a part.

Federated portal network - missing tab on consumer role

Hi,
We're on EP 7.01, SP4, and on two occantions we've had problems with missing tabs on a consumer role in our federated portal network setup. An entire workset on both occations is missing from the RDL-shared role. In the two cases the problem has been observed on different roles with two different worksets. When analyzing the RDL-shared roles, the producer role is fine but the consumer role is simply missing the attached workset. If the role is copied to the consumer again, the workset is still missing.
A full synchronization solves the problem.
The RDL-mechanism has been running fine for over half a year, so its quit odd that we now experience this issue.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar?
Kind regards,
Rasmus

Hi Rasmus,

URL to XSS WebDynpro's in Federated Portal Network

Hi,
i'm setting up a federated portal network between a producer portal (SPS18) (https://producer.domain.com) with the XSS applications deployed and a consumer portal (SPS13) (https://consumer.domain.com). I'm using the Remote Role Assigment (RRA).
The federation works fine (sort of) because on the consumer portal I can assign the remote roles but when I launch any of the XSS applications from the producer portal, the applications are launched with the wrong url -> https://producer:50000 (note that it's httpS) instead of https://producer.domain.com
I'm confused to where this configuration is done. As far as I know I can change settings in:
- the Federation configuration (there is no mention of the port 50000 there at all)
- the portal system landscape of the producer portal (modified the WebDynpro_XSS system to use https:443)
- the system landscape directory (where all the JCO connections are maintained and the Java Server instance)
- anywhere else
Can anyone help?
Much obliged
Marcel

Solved it. It is done in the federation configuration. In SAP Note 880482 - Central Note: Federated Portal Network (SAP NetWeaver 7.0) the problem is identified, specific for SPS13. The two properties of the producer: External Hostname and External Port were not updated properly and needed to be changed manually.

ITS iView and Session Management in Federated Portal Network

Hi,
We use an ITS iView for an HR application in the Portal. When used in federation the session management doesn not work correctly. We fill in a selection screen in the begin of the application and then run the report. When we click the back button in the Portal and then reload the app, the selection of the previous session is used, in stead of showing a new selection screen.
This only occurs when used in Federated Portal Network. SAP OSS already pointed out that the USR_ABORT command is not given in the consumer Portal. How can we make sure that this command is given, so that the session is correctly closed? How can we set these session management properties and options?
Best regards,
Jan Laros
