COS Template/Gateway URL Accesslist settings merging

Hi,
if i understand correctly the setting of the URL access list is stored in LDAP. It can either be specified on the organization, role or user level.
If specified at the organization level a COS template is created in LDAP. This is used for the setting of all the users below that org.
If i set the users accesslist then the value of the URL access attribute is stored directly under the users attributes thereby overriding the ORG level setting. (I think)
I've looked at COS merging attribute but it mentions that COS only takes place if no value is set at the user level.
We want to allow some URL's for everybody and some user specific but it seems that we always have to go to the user level because otherwise it would not work.

Format of the gateway URL

How is the gateway URL formed?
after the gateway there is a PTARGS_x_x_x_.....
How is the PTARGS_x_x.... formed? Is it configured any where on the portal server
I am using the gatewau URL in one of the publisher presentation templates and this value is changing from development to production environments

The portal server creates the gatewayed urls on the fly. You shouldn't hardcode those values just for one environment.The format of the gatewayed urls include the objectid,userid and some other characters.
Please go through the documentation below for constructing urls using the pt:common:url tag.
All the documentation is available at the below url. This will helpful in understanding the details.

Gateway URL setting?

Hi -
I think I screwed something up and am looking for a quick hand.
* G6 .NET box lives at https://www.mydomain.com/portal/server.pt
* Collab appears to think the gateway URL is https://www.mydomain.com/server.pt (NOTE that key bit - lacking "/portal")
Collab administration is saying it's automagically picking up the gateway URL from the portal - I'll be darned if I can figure out where it's coming from. I've reviewed all sorts of config files + database settings + the "display files URL" in the portal admin console.
Anyone have any pointers on where I might be able to change the base portal gateway URL to insert that very-necessary "/portal" ?
Any info much appreciated :)
Thanks,
Eric

Aha! Found it..
PTSERVERCONFIG tables, where setting = 2
Needed to append /portal
UPDATE PTSERVERCONFIG SET VALUE = 'https://www.myhappyportal.com/portal' WHERE SETTINGID = 2
I must have screwed this up initially. The originaly seed value was missing the /portal.
Thanks,
Eric

Filter Web Template with URL Cmd: doesn't work with compound infoobject ?

Hello all,
I've to filter the query contained on a web template with URL command, but it doesn't work.
The web template contains only one query, and on the free chars I have 0PLANT.
I call the web template adding to the normal url the following command:
&FILTER_IOBJNM=0PLANT&FILTER_VALUE=33
where 33 is the code of the plant I want to filter.
The command is executed, I think, because the result is "NO APPLICABLE DATA FOUND". The fact is that when I execute this query on the Bex filtering 0PLANT by value 33 the data exists.
May be because 0PLANT on our system is in compound with 0SOURSYSTEM ? In this case, what's the value I can use as filter ?
Thank's in advance,
Max

Hi,
please see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/59/edfe395dd76846e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
especially:
If the variant with ending 'EXT' is selected, the fully compounded value has to be entered in the external format, for example, 24.12.2000.
If the ending 'EXT' is not used, the fully compounded value has to be entered in the internal format, for example, 20001224 for 24.12.2000.
and
In the internal display (see table below) you can easily determine the name of the characteristic and the filter value using the URL parameter &snippet_operations=%20 (see also Object Tag for the Properties of Web Templates). Call the Web application with this URL parameter. If you filter using the context menu, the parameters FILTER_IOBJNM and FILTER_VALUE are automatically added to the URL in the Web browser. You can then use the desired values with Command URLs in hyperlinks.

Wildcards in gateway URL prefixes?

Hello, We are using a proxying utility called EzProxy from Useful Utilities for controlling student access to online databases and catalogs, which use client-IP as it's security mechanism (basically if the requests come from our network it lets the client in). I would like to host it through the Plumtree portal as a remote portlet, so that the portal can assume responsibility for access control. Here's why it isn't a slam dunk to set it up as a fully gatewayed remote portlet: to proxy remote hosts, it uses 'proxy by hostname'. A request for www.abc.com/whateverpassed through ezproxy.royalroads.ca ends up being returned to the client (in this case our portal for inclusiion as a portlet) as www.abc.com.ezproxy.royalroads.ca/whatever. As you can see, it dynamically adds to it's hostname list anything it's proxying. There's a better explanation of how it works at http://www.ezproxy.com/support/rewrite.html near the bottom of the page under 'new strategy'. My question to you is 'Can I set up in the Gateway URL Prefix list something like: http://*.ezproxy.royalroads.ca/. and expect it to properly gateway through the portal?' There's no way for us to know what will appear in place of the * beforehand, so we would like some way to wildcard the 'start' of the urls. Please let me know if this is simple to accomplish and/or feasible... if it is not we may have some other options to pursue before spending a ton of time trying to get gatewaying working. Thanks! -Dev.

The transformer will only transform URLs in Javascript if they fall in obvious places (e.g. setting a document.location or a window.open URL). Since you're passing an URL to the application.boot method, the transformer has no idea that it's dealing with an URL.
To make this work, follow these two steps:
1) Make sure the URL matches at least one of the patterns listed under Gateway URL Prefixes in the Web Service editor for your portlet.
2) Wrap the URL in a pt:url tag to give the transformer a hint that you want it to transform the URL, e.g. application.boot("<pt:url pt:href='http://localhost:7021/application/script/classes' xmlns:pt='http://www.plumtree.com/xmlschemas/ptui/'/>").
That should do the trick.

CoS template problem on DS5.2?

Hi, Experts,
I'm seeing this wierd problem that sometime ost of portal users just lost their portal attributes in LDAP. Here is our environment:
Directory Server 5.2
Access Manager 7.1
Portal 7.1 u1
And our Directory Server tree
dc=company,dc=com -> o=ccc,dc=company,dc=com.
We create filtered roles at o=ccc,dc=company,dc=com. Everytime a filtered role is created, portal service will be assigned to this role, which will create a CoS template at o=ccc,dc=company,dc=com level. We are doing the testing on the system and I have seen that portal attributes as virtual attributes at user level are lost for most of portal users. The effort I have tried to resolve the problem:
1. Removed roles and CoS templates which has special characters. This once solved the problem. But the problem happened again after that. So it's not the only reason or root reason.
2. Removed extra CoS templates. I found after the filtered roles were removed by an external tool, the corresponding CoS template still existed. So I removed the template manually. This once solved the problem. But again, it's not the only reason and the problem happened again after that.
3. Shrink the number of filtered roles. I just removed most of the roles and corresponding costemplates. And it resolved the problem.
The problem we are facing: I don't know why the problem happens and in exactly what situation it will happen. I could not re-produce the problem at this moment. But I'm afraid the problem will happen again after the system goes alive. The possible reason I can think of:
Maybe that Directory Server has limitation on the number of CoS templates it can handle for each CoS definition?
Again, I'm not sure if that is it. Has anybody seen this before?
Thanks.

You will need to contact Sun support organization to get a real help with this problem, as it is almost impossible to understand the Directory configuration and data without complete descriptions of the Roles, CoSTemplates and CosDefinitions (and the search requests that are working or are not working properly).
Regards,
Ludovic.

Gateway URL prefix

Does anyone know if it's possible to programmatically add gateway url prefixs to a web service. We're writing a portlet that allows users to dynamically add a url designating the source of the portlet and we want this url gatewayed. We're trying to figure out if the portal api or the edk supports this type of functionality.
Thanks,
-Travis

How can I don't get the gatewayed url?

I integrated a customized application into my portal.
but ,portal always generates gatewayed url,
for example
http://demo:80/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_200_359_207_0_43/http%3B/demo%3B80/tpl/abc/totalReport.do?method=drawPieChart&type=16
I only want to get the true url,that is
http:/demo:80/tpl/abc/totalReport.do?method=drawPieChart&type=16
How can I set the portal not to gateway the url?
thanks for any ideas.

Adjust the webservice that you are using so that it doesn't gateway that URL.
This is set on the HTTP Configuration page of a webservice.
It would appear that your is set to something like:
http://demo:80/portal/server.pt/(perhaps more path here/).
so just remove that

What is the Reports gateway URL?

The A92102-01 Reports Services documentation mentions a reports gateway URL. What is this? Where is it set? The doc mentions Chapter 3, but I do not see anything there that seems relevant. I want to get Reports integrated into Portal and I require this information...
Regards,

I believe you were trying to access the old iSetup configurator website. iSetup is no longer a hosted product and the configurator module has been decommissioned. iSetup is available as a product within the E-Business suite instance. You can see the iSetup menu when you assign 'Oracle iSetup' responsibility to a given user.

Help with Gateway TG799 Firewall settings Please

We have a Telstra Gateway Max TG799vac.
We have recently acquired our own domain name and have setup up an online store on Shopify.
So the underlying web address (on myshopify.com) is not the same as our URL of the shop.When we try to access the new site from any computer or device from within our house
we are blocked 90% of the time. It occasionally will connect. We are therefore unable to do admin on our own site.
I have tried USB tethering thru my phone's data and works 100% no worries. This bypasses the gateway and Telstra of course.
Anyone outside our home can always connect no worries.I have suspected the Firewall in the gateway TG799 device.
So I went into settings and changed the firewall setting down to the LOW setting.
Then we can connect all the time.
When in NORMAL or HIGH then we get this intermittent (mostly failed) connection.
After this experiment I am convinced it has something to do with the internal firewall.There is also a USER DEFINED section where you can set your own firewall rules
but I don't know enuff about what to do in there to experiment.
But I think I could set up a rule in there to allow this site to work for us if I knew how to go about it.I have been unable to find anyone within the normal Telstra tech help line who can help with this.Does anyone on here have any such knowledge or can give me a pointer where I can read/learn about how to do this for myself.Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Steph,The fact that these devices are updated by Telstra remotely without our prior knowledge explains alot.It explains why the problem I first reported just started to happen out of the blue.It also explains why it just as mysteriously disappeared. It also explains why we suddenly had trouble with our phones dropping the wifi connection constantly.And why that suddenly fixed itself as well. It also explains why we suddenly got a monstrous over-use on our data bill on our Telstra mobile.We thought we were safe in our own house to use data on this phone knowing it was connected to our wifi and therfore our BigPond plan. What we did not know was that the phone was loosing sync with the wifi and therefore dropping back to 3G plan data use without our knowledge. My wife had been using her phone to connect to a Chinese movie streaming site and of course when the wifi dropped out she did not know she was streaming thru her 3G plan. Massive unexplained data over-use resulted. I had a rough time convincing your billing organisation that we were using wifi (or thought we were anyway) for the movies and they would not believe us therefore the monster bills were upheld. We did not reaslise until far too late that the phone was loosing the wifi connection without us knowing. We have stopped using that service now and as soon as the credit we accumulated with the associated billing stuff-ups is used up we will be leaving Telstra for another less troublesome provider. How about giving us poor defenseless users some notice that our devices have been updated and a summary of what aspects have been changed. Just like happens with apps on the Google Play store. I will now be approaching your billing organisation once more armed with this knowledge. My argument will be that our over-use on 3G data stemmed from a bad firmware update without our knowledge in your modem causing us to over-use 3G data we were not aware of. This time if they don't listen then it will be time for a complaint to the TIO. And perhaps even a media story. Disgusting service! And one angry Telstra customer.

Filtering values of a query in a web template through URL. Help please!

Hi all,
I've designed some web templates based on 3.x queries and I'm facing a problem trying to filter the values the users can see, though URL.
I know how to filter a value of a characteristic in the URL, for example:
http://.../SAP/BW/BEX?...&CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID="web_template_name"&FILTER_IOBJNM=0AREA&FILTER_Value=001
It shows the default values for the characteristics (Area=1), but it doesn't restrict the query to these values. The problem is that the user can choose another value of the characteristic, through the navigation_block for example (Area=2 or 3 or...).
What I need is to restrict the query in the URL with some values (Area=1 for example) so that the other areas don't appear in the query.
I've read some documents but I don't have the solution yet. For example:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/b26a3b74a4fc31e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Any ideas please??
Iñaki

Hi,
For your scenario you could use variables which are not changeable during runtime. Please refer to the following documentation. If you do not check the option 'Can Be Changed with Query Navigation' the variable will not be changeable during navigation.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/22/1e9b3c334d8c15e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
If you want to restrict certain users to certain data please also consider the authorization concept, which is the safest way of doing this.
Best regards,
Janine

Problems with passing parameters for WEB template in URL in NW2004s

Servus,
We have NW2004s, BI 7.0, SP9
does anybody know where do I make a mistake? There are 9 variables which the user has to fill out.
Passing the parameters in URL string for a web template like: http://server:50100/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?TEMPLATE=TEMPLATENAME&var_name_1=ZvarX&var_value_ext_1=2000 ....
but this doesn't function, I get only the first variable screen and not what's set in my URL.
Is it a bug? Any suggestions?
Thank you very much
Standa

I solved it.
Solution:
URL Link "http://......./TEMPLATE=nameofthepage&TEMPLATE=nameofthepage
&VARIABLE_VARIANT=nameofthevariant"

Gateway URL Transformation in stylesheet

Hi,
Is it possible for the portal to rewrite URLs in a cascading stylesheet?
The following excerpt is from a stylesheet used by a number of gatewayed pages. We know it works just fine when you hit the page directly, but when the page is gatewayed the image URL is not transformed and so the images don't render:
.subNavigation{ margin-left: 10px; padding-left: 5px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; list-style-image: url(/_interface/gfx/jnet_bullet.gif);}
I saw in the doco that there's pt:transformer and pt:url tags but they won't work in this context.
Any ideas?
cheersAni

Ani,
There is a bit of a backdoor, in that all content in portlets is transformed, and stylesheets do cascade, so one trick would be to embed the CSS itself directly in the HTML of a header portlet, and then add that header portlet to the default subportal object (or whichever subportal you happen to be using on those pages). I'm not absolutely certain it would work but it is worth a try.
Embedding CSS directly in HTML is a bit odd, but here's an example:
