Creating worksets via API

Hi all!
Is it possible to create and change worksets dynamically via API? I have found documentation how to read pcd objects and their properties but not how to edit pcd objects:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/6112ecb7-0a01-0010-ef90-941c70c9e401
best regards
Michael

Hi Michael,
(1) To change workset attributes, get the IPcdContext object for the workset, then do something like this:
ModificationItem[] mods = new ModificationItem[1];
mods[0] = new ModificationItem(DirContext.REPLACE_ATTRIBUTE,new BasicAttribute("com.sap.portal.navigation.MergePriority", new Double("75")));
myPcdContext.modifyAttributes("",mods);
(2) To create, you could simply bind a new context to the folder you want to place the workset, and set all the attributes (most important, object class and name). This is a little tricky, and there may be side effects I haven;t thought of.
For iView, you would use the IiViews semantic object to create the iView, and this object would take care of almost everything for you. But there is no workset object.
Hope this helps.

How Can I Create a new Role in an PCD address?

Hello EveryBody,
I need to develop a new class that it can manage SAP Portal roles. I got how to recover all the roles of a user or how to recover all the roles in a PCD path. Now I have the problem when I try to create a new role in a PCD path.
The code that I have to do that it is this:
try {
*     IRoleFactory iRoleF = UMFactory.getRoleFactory();*
*     IRole nuevorol=iRoleF.newRole(pcdPath+nameRol);*
*     nuevorol.setDisplayName(nameRol);*
*     nuevorol.setDescription(descripcionRol);*
*     nuevorol.commit();*
*     return true;*
catch (Exception e)
*     return false;*
This code it works and it makes a new Role but I donu2019t know how to create this role in a PCD path. Could you help me with this?
This it is a urgent task that I have to develop, please I need help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
     Now I understood your question. As of now, I think there is no api which creates workset and roles in pcd. API are available for iView, page, system and layout only.
For creation of iView, page etc, check this blog.
PCD II: Creating Portal Objects
For role and workset creation, there is another tool used. Check these blogs.
SP15: XML Content and Actions
Mass Creation of Portal Content - Generic Creator
If you want to use this tool functionality in code, then check this blog.
Using the XML upload content and actions dynamically
If you are on NW7.1, then check this article.

Hope these will help. Good luck.

How to a ssign the iViews & Workset of the Role

Hello gurus,
Listed below are the procedures for organizing the reports within the Role:
a. Create a workset for each of these folders in the role
b. Assign the iViews/Pages currently present in the folders of the role to the newly created workset
c. Delete the folders from the role
d. Assign the worksets to the role
I've created a Workset to assign the iViews, how do I assign iViews to the new Workset?
And how do I assign the Workset to the Role?
Thanks in advance for any helps.
Regards,
Niki Nguyen

Hi Niki,
- Open the Workset and then right click on the iView in the PCD and select "Add iView to Workset". Close the Workset.
- Open the Role and then right click on the Workset in the PCD and select "Add Workset to Role".

Need something similar to the Workset Map iView

Hello,
I'm looking for something that is very similar to the workset map iview and was hoping someone could help me out. The problem for me using the workset map iview is that it only pertains to one role. I basically need an entry point that can point to several different items from different roles based upon the roles a current user has. I guess you could say much like a site map but we want it to look like the workset map iview.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Tamara

Hello Shibendra,
What u can do is create KM Navigation Iview and assign that Iview to Workset and that workset to role.
now place that newely created workset next to the intended one and then see the preview of Worset Map iview .
in that u will see the intended Iview and next to it the Km navigation Iview that u have created and after clicking on that iview u will be navigated to the required position in KM
Hope this works
If so please reward ponts.

Navigation bar: how do I create hirarchial content folder containg SAP tran

I am trying to create folder in the navigation area in portal. My backend transactions are listed in the navigational area but it is a longlist. I would like to create folder with labels like Plant Maint with the PM transaction under it and AM folder with Asset management under it.
Is there a way to do this.
Thanks Mikie

Mikie,
why dont you create Worksets or Folders under the role which contains these transactions in portal. You can open your portal role - then add a few folders there directly as per the grouping you require - and then put the transactional iViews under respective groups. So in portal they will automatically be coming as tree strucutured view. You will first see the folder names (i.e. your groups like Plant Maintenance) and when you click on that it will show the transaction iViews under it. Similar to what you see in the standard portal roles like Content Admin, System Admin etc,

How do I create a worksetmap

Hi
Can anyone advise how to create a workset map.
Reading the Sap help the following is stated.
Create an iView template based on the workset map component (New ® iView ® com.sap.portal.navigation.worksetmap). For information on accessing and using the iView Wizard, see Launching the iView Wizard and First Steps.
2. In the iViews Property Editor, set the Relative Workset Location property to define the location of the workset relative to the workset map iView.
There are two possible attributes to which you may need to assign a value:
levelsup=n
pathlist=ID1; ID2; and so on
For example, the value levelsup=1 means that the workset is one level up from the iView, or the parent of the workset map.
In the case of a workset map iView that overviews a workset which is not its parent, and is several nodes away, you need to give the complete path from the workset to the workset map iView by listing the ID of each node in the path.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN AND HOW TO I CREATE THIS.
PLEASE ADVISE.
Regards
Arun

Hi Arun,
what looked to be quite a simple question about understanding the SAP Help, turned out to be very tricky. Thanks to Detlev (you also
owe him some points for this) I was able to clarify the syntax behind the "Relative Workset Location" Property of the Workset Map
iView. As there are quite some bugs in the SAP Help I will also open an OSS Message following to this post.
What you have to do, in order to display a Workset Map, is to create a Workset Map iView and to integrate it in your workset
(in a Page). If this Page with the iView is inserted just below the Workset for which you want to have the Workset Map created,
then you can leave the Property "Relative Workset Location" empty.
Let's speak about a concrete scenario, so that you can get a clearer picture. We want to create a Workset Map for the "Home"
Workset under the Role(com.sap.portal.eu_role). Under the workset "Home" (com.sap.km.home_ws) there are some other Worksets
like "Company" (com.sap.km.home.company).
1. Example for using no attribute in the "Relative Workset Location":
As stated above, just insert the newly created Workset Map iView in a new Page (let's name it "Overview") and this Page just below
the "Home" workset. You can give it a very low "Sort Priority" in order to be the first entry in the TLN.
2. Example for using the "levelsup" attribute:
If you insert "levelsup=2" in the "Relative Workset Location" property, the iView will display a Workset Map starting from
com.sap.portal.eu_role. So you will see links to the "Home" workset and to the "Portal Personalization" workset.
3. Example for using the "pathlist" attribute:
If you insert "levelsup=2;pathlist={com.sap.km.home_ws,com.sap.km.home.company}" in the "Relative Workset Location" property,
the iView will display a Workset Map starting from
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/general/com.sap.portal.eu_role/com.sap.km.home_ws/com.sap.km.home.company.
So you will see links to the pages "News", "Discussions", etc.
But why? You start from the Workset Map iView (and not from the workset to be displayed as stated in SAP Help) and go "levelsup=2",
so two navigation levels up, as under 2. Then you follow the relative path given by the worksets IDs, so "com.sap.km.home_ws" and
"com.sap.km.home.company".
Conclusion: It would be really helpful if SAP edits the "Creating a Workset Map iView" Page in SAP Help and changes the bugs:
1. ..pathlist={ID,ID2, and so on}..
2. ..the complete path from the workset map iView to the workset by listing the ID...
3. ";" between the two attributes levelsup and pathlist for combining the attributes
Another great thing would be if the coding would be manipulated so that no "Portal Runtime Error" is display whenever a wrong
workset ID is inserted.
And from my opinion, it would be much easier to let the user find out the precise PCD location of the workset and input this as
parameter than to find out all the relative IDs for the path list!
Hope this helps,
Robert
PS: I hope you are able to appreciate the work it took to understand this component by awarding points. And also consider the same
for Detlev (if he replies) who help me out on that. Best regards!

Folder vs workset in roles

HI,
I want to assign a set of iviews/pages to a role. I would like to know what is the best practice to add this objects to a role, i.e.
1. To create a role and create folders under this role and add pages/iviews to this folder
2. To create worksets and add pages/iviews to it and finally to add worksets to a role.
should I use worksets/folders under a role. if both can be used, when should i use which one.
Thank you

Hi Yogi,
if you want to group iViews (for they belong together), you normally create a workset outside a role and add the iViews (as delta links) to the workset and then the workset (as delta link) to the role. This way you can very simply re-use this group in another place instead of putting all iViews again under a role folder.
Role folders are normally only used for building a navigational structure.
For building up the PCD and role content, also see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/4f/bceaffeb8c114ebef8255b63079c7c/frameset.htm
Hope it helps

What's wrong with the role?

I create URL iviews and pages, preview , it is OK.
Then I create workset, role, and assign to a user. When I login with the account, I can't see the pages.
Anybody help?

Please ensure that the entry point of the Role is set to YES.
You can do this in role properties.
Hope this helps!

How to display links in the main page

Here is a simple question from an EP beginner-
I am working on a demo EP site for our company (EP 6.0 SP9). After the user logs onto the Portal, I want to display a main page with standard Header and Nav bars, and then (in the inner page?) display a list of links to iViews. The iViews are SAP transaction iViews and url iViews, most of which I have already created and they work fine in preview mode.
The question is, how to I modify the main page to display the links and maybe a company logo? Is this an addition to the framework page or something completely different? In a previous life I created ASP/HTML/javascript pages so coding would not be a problem.
Thanks in advance,
Alan

Hi Alan,
If u want to display the iviews to a user you want to create roles.
First Create all the required iviews,then create pages. Add the iviews to the page. Create workset and add page to the work set. Then create roles and add the workset to the roles. Dont forget to set the Entry point property of role to YES.
Go to User admin>> select the user to whom u want to show the iviews and assign the role u created to the user.
Then log in as that user. The iviews will be displayed to the user.

Error with new Room Template (containing KM Navigation iView)

Hello,
I created a new room template based on a newly created workset which just contains the KM Navigation iView. As I went through the template wizard step by step (Content Administration > Collaboration Content > Room Template Administration) I didn't add any External Parameters (Step 3) and didn't add any extensions (Step 4). In the Mapping (Step 5) I mapped all internal parameter to "room_id" since I didn't know it any better. Then I created a room based on this template. When I entered the room I got the following error message. Is it possible that the following error has to do with the fact that I mapped all internal parameters to "room_id" and that I did not add any external parameters or any extensions?
com.sap.portal.pcm.Title

Show/Hide tabs in top level navigation of a role based on assigned services

Hi,
I have an interesting requirement. I have created an overview page in abap web dynpro which has links to various services.
Based on the r3 roles assigned to the user, we need to show/hide the services in the overview page and top level navigation.
I can show/hide the views in the overview page but the links on top level navigation are created in the portal frontend by creating worksets, iviews, etc.
Is there a way I can show or hide these worksets which are defined in the role on top level navigation?
In a nutshell, can i update the visible/invisible property of a java workset from a call in abap web dynpro?
Regards,
Sumeet

What i meant was that you can do a custom TLN like this

Seems to me java/jsp is more appropriate than doing it via WDA.
ANother way that you might look into this is Application integrator which again java programming effort needed.
