Creating a PCD Object(iview or page) thru API

Hi All,
I found some help regarding creating a PCD Object,
This is the following code
IiViews iViewSrv = (IiViews)
    PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IiViews.KEY);
INewObjectDescriptor IVtoCreate = (INewObjectDescriptor)
    iViewSrv.instantiateDescriptor(CreateMethod.NEW,
        "par:/applications/myProject/components/myComponent",request.getUser());
I am unable to find jar files to compile
what are the jar files which consist of the interfaces Iiviews and IPage, IPages.And where can I find those?
Thanks in Advance
Rgds,
Santhosh

Hi Elda,
First, thanks for a great API discovery for me (a pity I can't reward points to you).
Do you have a link to online documentation on this?
Second, there are 2 solutions:
1. WinRar can search inside jars. Use it to search for the file IiViews.class on the server.
2. Use the great classlocator plugin. See this post for details:
How to use classlocator plugin?
According to my last check the download link no longer works. If that's the case I can send it by e-mail.
Hope that helps,
Yoav.

How to change the ESS objects, iViews and Pages, translation in the portal?

Hello everyone,
I'd like to change the standard SAP translation for iView and Pages in the Portal level. Does anybody knows how to do this?
My landscape is NW2004s and ESS for ECC 6.0
Regards
Luciano

you can change the standard SAP iViews and Pages using the Portal Content Translation feature of the Portal ( go to Content Administration->Portal Content Translation. Follow the instructions at
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/25/08174082fe1961e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
all ESS iviews and pages have their content "ready for translation" and you can use the instructions above to translate that content.

How to create a pop-up iView or page

Is it possible to create a pop-up Page or Iview?
Scenario: When i click on the workset link, the content or the iview should open on a pop-up window.

Hi ,
you can set property to open in a new window from property editor of iview.
I think opening in new window is what you expect? if you want to develop pop up windows,u can do using custom development.

Problems deleteting PCD-objects at level 9

Hi
Recently our PCD-structure have gotten deeper. Our PCD-structure starts with the folder "Portal Content" at level 1. As a result of the structure getting deeper, I am experiencing problems with deleting PCD-objects, iViews or pages, at level 9. When I right-click on the object and select delete, the tool for finishing the delete never appears.
Level 8 objects are ok. I am at SAP EP V6.0 SP13.
Has anyone else experienced problems with this. Were you able to find a workaournd?
Help would be much appreciated.

Hi Reidun,
I am using EP 6.0.14.0.0
I tried it and I am not facing this problem.
I think..I came with a same kind of problem earlier.
When I try to create the directory structure in my local File System using Java it was not creating deeper directories more than level 7.
This is because of some restriction in char length I think.
Do onething..Try to Reduce the length of your folder/roles/pages/iviews names.
like
Sample :
If you have
"MyPCDFolderStructureOne" then reduce it to
"PCDOne" - just for sample

Managing iViews and other PCD Objects

Hi,
I have visited some help on Managing iViews and other PCD Objects at
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fd/ea5c42da4de92ce10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
But I want to know when are these things actually put to use. For example, I would simply create an iview and add it to a page. Can you give me a real scenario where this is required. Especially if any of you have used this on your projects.
How do I start if I wish to pick up this feature? Any blogs on good exapmles which I can use deploy and learn?
Thanks!!

Creating PCD object via API

Is is possible to programmatically create PCD objects such as iViews/Pages etc.?

Hi,
The way to create PCD objects such as iViews and pages is documented in the following link in the help portal (Portal --> Developer Guide --> Developing Applications --> Creating Content --> Managing iViews and Other PCD Objects:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fd/ea5c42da4de92ce10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Here's an overview for creating an iView from a PAR and adding it to the folder at pcd:portal_content/myFolder :
IiViews iViewSrv = (IiViews)
    PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IiViews.KEY);
INewObjectDescriptor IVtoCreate = (INewObjectDescriptor)
    iViewSrv.instantiateDescriptor(CreateMethod.NEW,
        "par:/applications/myProject/components/myComponent",
            request.getUser());
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
    IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, request.getUser());
env.put(Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, PcmConstants.ASPECT_SEMANTICS);
InitialContext iCtx = null;
try
    iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
    String folderName = "pcd:portal_content/myFolder";
    Context ctx = (Context)iCtx.lookup(folderName);
    ctx.bind("myNewHelloIV", IVtoCreate);
catch(Exception e)

Creating a File object in a JSP page

Hi,
I am trying to create a File object in my JSP page by passing it a relative path. The jsp page is in 'website/testfolder/index.jsp' and the File is in 'website/photos/1.jpg'. In my jsp page i do the following:
<% File f = new File("../photos/1.jpg");
boolean test = f.isFile(); %>
The value returned is false. I am trying to figure out why it can't locate the file.
Thanks

You have to use absolute paths. You can get the absolute path for the given relative path by ServletContext#getRealPath().

How to create deltalinks between object in Generic Creator

Hi
Portal Version = NW 04 Stack 16
I have had an look to the How to guide for "How to automate content
creation via XML" https://websmp102.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?
SHORTKEY=00200797470000073623&OBJECT=011000358700003443012004E
I am looking for an issue where I create four folders (iviews, pages,
roles, worksets) with objects and sametime create deltalinks between
theese objects.
I am currently able to create a role with worksets and pages, but then
I am not able to see the objects in the PCD structure other than the
role.
Any idea where to find information about this and better how to perform
such an issue.
Regards
Kay-Arne S. Aarlie

Hi,
The Portal Catalog -- the pane you see on the left when you are in Content Administration -- you only see the role and not the pages and iViews inside. You have to open the role for editing to see what's inside.
You can also use the PCD inspector if you want to browse through the objects in a role.
You create delta links with the generic creator simply by specifying a PCD address in the template attribute of the <Context> element.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Looking Up Objects
This section describes how to look up a PCD object by performing a JNDI lookup and supplying the PCD address of the object.
Procedure
       1.      Create an instance of the helper object for the type of semantic object that you want to create, such as, IiViews for an iView, ISystems for a system, and so forth.
IiViews iViewSrv = (IiViews)
    PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IiViews.KEY);
       2.      Set the parameters for a JNDI lookup in the PCD.
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
    IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, request.getUser());
env.put(Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, PcmConstants.ASPECT_SEMANTICS);

PCD Audit : What information about the PCD objects are stored in the PCD?

Folks,
Need some information on the information stored in the PCD for audit purposes.
Object = Any PCD object, typically iView, Page, Workset, Role, Group...
1. Creation of any object - Should definately be present in the PCD
2. Any modification including history - List of all actions on any PCD object - I am sure the last modification is tracked, but can we track every change to the object from creation?
3. Deletion of any object? - This I am not sure of - Does the PCD store information about deleted object's like deletion time stamp and the user who deleted etc?
Thank you...

Hi,
>>1. Creation of any object - Should definately be present in the PCD
There is no doubt about this.
>>2. Any modification including history - List of all actions on any PCD object - I am sure the last modification is tracked, but can we track every change to the object from creation?
<b>AND</b>
>>3. Deletion of any object? - This I am not sure of - Does the PCD store information about deleted object's like deletion time stamp and the user who deleted etc?
There is no versioning concept in PCD right now, but ofcourse planned for future.
So you cannot track the history and deleted objects, but there exists PCD Repository Manager in KM on which you can activate versioning. Check if this suites your needs. Never tried but logically ever PCD change should get versioned here.

Changing name of PCD object EP 6.0 SP11

Hello,
in connection with the introduction of a new name standard I need to change the name, id and prefix of a number of iviews and pages.
I do this by using the "Change id" command. The prefix and id are changed, but I am unable to change the name. Even if I write a new name it is not saved.
If I set the name in the properties list (after opening the object), it is saved, but the old name still appears in the PCD structure. I have tried refresh, and deleting the browser cache.
Anyone have a solution to this problem?

Hi,
I have the same problem Jørgen has (NW04 SPS 11 Patch 3, German speaking environment).
I switched the portal language to "english" and copies of predefined SAP content now can be renamed. In fact, name changes I made when the portal was still switched to "german" and which then seemed to have failed suddenly turned out having been successfull.
The problem is that this doesn't solve the problem, because the name changes back to its (original) english version when switching back the portal language to german.
Why is it that only (copies of) predefined SAP content behave like that? Are there any rights or attributes that get copied along with the objects and which have to be altered?
Thanks,
Jens
