Content admin - iview not in top level navigation bar

Using my Administrator ID.
Also Portal Admin -> channel assigment not in top level navigation bar.
What role am I missing?

Hi,
The short answer to your question is that you need to add the relevant iView(s) and change the applicable role or iView properties to display in the areas necessary.
Generally you require the super admin role to structure other admin roles to the different types of admin roles in your enterprise with a default installation.
You could for example determine that your content admin receive more than just the default iView(s) applicable to them, and that you want those iView(s) to display as tabs, or only in the detailed navigational areas. This is a matter of personal preference and thus SAP allows you to customize this as you see fit.
I hope this helps.

  • Top level navigation bar: function links

    The only function links available are Help and Logoff. How do I configure portal to get the addional links i.e: Personalize? Am I missing a role?

    Hi,
    I am not certain which role you have currently been assigned, but generally the super admin role is used as an entry point on a default installation to customize and delegate other roles in the Portal.
    Personalizing is generally a property which you make available on iView's for users to alter. It can also be hidden etc.
    As admin you are required to customize the properties to display portal objects on the navigational bars or other navigational areas. This is done at role, folder, iView level.
    Hope this helps.

    undo the changes what you have done.
    after you logon to the portal try the url below...this should take you to content admin directly from there modify the framework page and reset the property of TLN

  • Top Level Navigation Invisible for Administrator in EP6.0

    I have installed SAP NetWeaver 2004s SP16, EP6.0 and Developer Studio 2.0.16.  But When I log on to portal using Administrator user id, I am not getting Top Level Navigation.  I also tried other user id's.  Please provide me solution.  Thanks in advance.

    I suggest you login to Visual Administrator and check if Administrator is part of Administrators Group. You can find this by going into Services > Security Provider > User Management. Search for Administrator and check if he is part of Administrators group.
    If not add it, by default Super Admin Role is assigned to Administrators group. Once you get this role you should see all the navigational Tabs.
    Hope this helps.

  • EP About top level navigation

    We are designing that many roles are assigned to one user.
    (about 7-8 roles per user)
    When many roles are assigned to the user, tabs in top level navigation bar can not be displayed without scroll horizontally.
    We want to display all roles at once, without scroll.
    To realize the above, roles must be displayed on 2 records
    in the one top level navigation bar.
    Is ther someone who knows whether top level navigation can
    be displayed at 2 records on a bar, or not.
    Any help or information would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Mizuka,
    first, you might want to reorganize your roles and possibly have a look at the "merging" feature.
    Next, you might change the portals theme to use a smaller font for the top level tabs.
    If both options are unsuitable, you can develop your own top level navigation component by writing some java code. Then you can make it look whatever you like to (and I mean it, it's extremely flexible, I did it early in the time of EP6 SP 0 ramp-up, but definitely takes some time).

  • IViews are not updated in customized top level navigation

    Hi experts,
    I am working on External Facing Portal. I developed customized top level navigation. The problem is that the content area of External Facing portal is not refreshed. Although, i can see different navigationURLs but content area iView remains same. For testing purpose, i assigned role (which i created for anonymous access) to a new portal user. All pages/ivews/ for that role are working fine and content area is also updated when i click on different navigation. Remember that is standard portal not anonymous. It means through myserver:50100/irj/protal?NavigationTarget=navurl://cb0c473832f39033f88904647de63252 all navigation is working fine including content area but when i access External Facing Portal through  myserver:50100/irj/protal/anonymous?NavigationTarget=navurl://cb0c473832f39033f88904647de63252 navigationURLs is updated but the content area remains same. Content area contains 1 page and page itself contains 1 iVew. I assigned that light page to Light Framework page.
    Do i need to implement navigation connectors for that issue or i miss something?
    waiting for your response.
    regards
    Abbas

    Have you tried disabling the iView caching (check the iView and page properties). Your browser and proxy server (as you mention it is external facing) may also be caching the content, hence the reason when you use your user ID and the Java restart occurs everything is reset correctly.
    I know when doing Visual Composer developments that SAP EP caches the Function Module interfaces and that in the development environment I needed to change parameters in Visual Admin for the VC component lifetime to handle these. It could well be that you are referencing components that have lifetime keep alive set for them in the environment too. Refer to the API / SDK documentation if you suspect this could be the case for you too.
    What exactly is the iView in the content area doing? Is it just a transactional iView or is it a custom iview?
    If you can perhaps try putting on an http trace or monitor the NWA logs to determine if any issues exist. You Java VM may also require some more fine tuning in the external facing scenario - the GC may not be collecting items efficiently.

  • Customized Top Level Navigation iView

    Hello to all
    We are using a customized TLN iview. Its source code was modified to admit different URLs, and do the filtering depending of the default framework page which is using the TNL iview,
    I mean, the TLN would be copied inside a proyect folder on the Portal Content, where would be a DFPage that contains a copy of TNL iview, and this copy would have a different roleFilter attribute.
    Then, the TLN was modified again in order to merge roles that had the same name.
    Those changes doesn't seem really important, they have just declared some vars, and each of them added one code line. The first one extended the first part of an IF condition, and the second one extended it with another condition, using OR.
    The problem is that after the modifications, our TLN doesn't highlight correctly the first node when accessing or refreshing the Portal, instead of it shows a default start page that doesn't belong to any of our roles
    The TLN iview has a procedure named PrintNavNodes, which is called on the event OnClick (I assume), and when we accessrefresh the page too.
    The iview works well when clicking its buttons, it's just the first time it is used when the wrong page is shown, that's the problem we need to correct.
    This procedure (PrintNavNodes) lodges the code changes. The only var modified is String prefix, so maybe anyone could tell me a default value to it, o a way to catch that mistake in order to show another page when the default page is to appear.
    Also, I would appreciate if anyone knows about an API, andor a How to... manual, or any kind of documentation about this subject.
    We have no possibility of reject the changes, so we need to find an alternative solution. Here is the code...

  • Tab in Top Level Navigation is not highlighted when clicked on

    Hi guys,
    We have 1 problem in EP 6.0:
    I create 1 iview(testiview), and attached to the role(testrole), assigned to 1 user, then login with that user. In top level navigation, i am able to see the role(testrole) in top level navigation, but after i clicked, the tab for this role is not highlighted, but the content of iview is displayed,
    Any one knows what happened?
    Thanks!
    Guo Feng

    Hi Guo
    You have created one role and added one iView under it.
    now can u tell which one you made as entry point.
    if Role is the entry point are you getting the iView link in the DTN ?
    If you made iView as entry point and then you r getting the content in content area and the iView link in the top.
    i think the second one happens...
    Check the role and iView properties .
    Make the Role as entry point..
    Cheers

  • How to make top level navigation not refresh

    Hello Guys,
    I have a question concerning on my External Facing Portal, my boss wants that when I click on a tab or a link in the Top Level Navigation , to load the content in the Content Area without refreshing the whole page, What I want is that when I click on a tab or link of the Top Level Navigation , the Top Level Navigation and the MasterHead not to refresh and that the content be loaded and refreshed only in the Content Area. The only way I know to do this is by making a frameset of my page and to make the masterhead and toplevel navigation a frame and the detalied navigation a frame and the content area a frame, and in the links to put the target property to the name of the content area frame, but I don't know if this is possible to do in the portal, I see that all is embedded and I don't know how to make a frameset like this in the portal.
    Any highlights to solve this will sure be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Rewarding points will be given.
    Luis

    Hi,
       When you are implementing External Facing Portal, i think you have used Light Framework Page.  In Light Framework Page, only one Framework has been used, so when you click on the top level navigation, the whole page will get refresh, so there is no otherway as of my knowledge.  If you use standard framework page in portal, it is possible to do (i.e. the content area only get refresh)  and the concept of your External Facing Portal is eliminated here.

  • Worksets not visible in the top level navigation

    Hi all,
                 I installed ESS business package and.ESS 600 sp08.Everything is fine but the worksets of the ESS role are not coming in the top level navigation (2nd level).They are visible in the detailed navigation.
    I checked the option in the worksets .
    the property invisible in navaigation area .It is set to No.So no issues.
    Still it is not visible
    Any clues please.
    Thanx and Regards,
    rajesh

    Hi,
    As Rightly said
    1)  First copy ESS folder created in "Content provided by SAP" under "Portal Content".
    2)  Copy standard ESS Role for u r customization
    3)  Open Custom Role "Employee Self Service"
    4)  Property Category : Navigation
    5)  Check Entry Point property
    It shuld be NO for Role but It shuld be YES for Workset ESS under it as per standard then Its Fine
    6)  Then Assign this role to u r User thru UserAdmin
    7)  Refresh
    It shuld work !!!!

  • How make the Top-level Navigation and Content Area in one page as a whole?

    I want to make the Top-level Navigation and the Content Area in the one page as a whole displayed in user interface.In the default framework,the Top-level Navigation and the Content Area were contained  in 2 pages, So the vertical scroll bar could only control the Content Area. I want to control the full page with  one vertical bar like the page of "www.sdn.sap.com" Web.

    Hi Jianguo,
    One advantage of the external facing portal solution (SP14) is that the framework page is displayed in a single frame. Perhaps this could be of use to you.
    Hope this helps.
