Custom workset - Can we trigger an URL iView?

Hi.
I have a custom workset, in which I have attached a page and URL iView.
When I click on the workset, it opens a page with the link, that is the way I have configured.
Is there any way we can directly lauch the URL iView in a separate window when we click the workset?
Suggestion please.
Thanks
Jay

Jay, just set in your resource a name for Window Name property (can use _blank).
Regards!

Webdynpro application can't display a URL iView in a new External window

Fellow developer:
In my WD4A application, I called the method 'navigate_absolute' to display a URL iView in a new External window.
The code is as follows:
data lo_portal_manager type ref to if_wd_portal_integration.
call method lo_portal_manager->navigate_absolute
exporting
navigation_target = 'ROLES://u2026'
navigation_mode = '1'. ('0' - Displayed in the Same Window, " '1' - Displayed in a new External Window)
The application can display the iView in the same Window (navigation_mode = '0'), but cannot in a new External window (navigation_mode = '1').
In the iView properties, the following attributes are set to:
1. Launch in New Window - Dipslay in Separate Window
2. Open iView Links in New Window - Yes
If you know the answer, please advise.
Thanks

Set user Language in URL IView

Hello,
I am trying to put the Language of the user in the parameters of the URL.
For example :
http://sopraganesh.cr.infra.lab/redirect.asp?page=ECD&lang=en
How can I parameter the URL IView to automatically retrieves the language of the connected user?
Thanks for your help,

Hi
Once you have defined the iViews URL to the targeted Web page, you may need to configure parameters that are passed to the information source as part of the URL. In the URL iView Editor, you can do the following to URL parameters:
·        Add, remove, and modify URL parameters
·        Determine whether or not portal end user can view and personalize URL parameters at runtime
·        Assign intuitive display names to URL parameters that are viewed or personalizable by portal end users
·        Specify the URL request method (GET or POST)
If you navigated to the targeted Web page and defined the iView URL using the portal built-in browser, the URL parameters and request method may already been defined in the URL iView Editor.
Procedure
       1.      Open the iView in the URL iView Editor.
The editor does not display URL-specific parameters in the URL address within the URL box. URL parameters that were part of the URL referencing the selected Web page (the information source) are automatically removed from the source URL and displayed in the URL parameter list in the editor. At runtime, the portal automatically appends the URL and the listed parameters to the targeted URL request.
       2.      In the Request Method option, choose either GET or POST to specify the request method. The request method indicates how the browser sends information to the information source:
Request Method
Description
GET
This request method appends parameters to the URL when the data request is sent to the information source. The server receives the data in one long query string, which typically limits the length of parameters that can be passed.
For example, a URL using the GET request method would be: http://www.google.com/search.asp?&querystring=SAP where querystring indicates the parameter identifier and SAP is the parameter value.
POST
This request method sends parameters for the URL in the header of the data request stream; parameters are not appended to the URL. This allows for long parameters to be passed to a script and parsed one element at a time.
For example, a URL using the POST request method would be: http://www.google.com/search.asp.
POST is only supported when the Fetch Method property defined in the iView is set to Server-side. For more information, see URL iView Properties.
For iViews that have a mixture of parameters sent by GET and POST together, you must:
§         Choose POST as the request method.
§         Set the Fetch Mode property to Server-side
§         Append the GET_EXPLICIT_ prefix to the parameter identifier of each parameter that is sent by GET. For example, a parameter defined as searchstring should be defined as GET_EXPLICIT_searchstring. When the iView sends a data request, the prefix is removed from the parameter identifier at runtime. Parameters sent by POST do not require a special prefix.
       3.      To add a parameter, click Add below the table. A new entry is added to the parameter list.
To remove a parameter, select the checkbox of the relevant parameter in the list and click Remove. Before doing so make sure the parameter is not required by the information source.
       4.      Define the attributes of existing or new parameters, as follows:
Attribute
Description
URL Parameter
Specifies the parameter identifier as recognized by the information source. For example, in the URL http://www.google.com/search.asp?&querystring=SAP, the parameter identifier is querystring.
As stated above, parameters that need to be sent by GET when the request method is defined as POST, must have the GET_EXPLICIT_ prefix. For example: GET_EXPLICIT_searchstring.
Enter special characters that are present in the parameter identifier as is. Do not convert them to ASCII code. For example, enter first name, and not first%20name. At runtime, the portal will encode special characters to ASCII when fetching the iView data.
Value
Specifies the value of the parameter. This is not mandatory.
If you set the parameter as a variable that can be personalizable by end users (see following attribute), then this value will be the parameters default value. However, if you set the parameter as not personalizable, then this value is the fixed value of the parameter.
Enter special characters present in the parameter value as is. Do not convert them to ASCII code.
Type
Specifies the data type of the parameter.
Choose one of the following options:
·        String: Apply this option for all data types whose property is not a mapped user name or password; for example, an integer or string.
·        Mapped User: Apply this option when the URL parameter designates a user name that is required to authenticate the user with the information source at runtime.
·        Mapped Password: Apply this option when the URL parameter designates a password that is required to authenticate the user with the information source at runtime.
§         When Mapped User and Mapped Password are selected, the Value and Personalize attributes cannot be edited.
§         If you want to enable user mapping for the user name and password parameters, in the System drop down-down list, choose an appropriate system already defined in the portal, which contains the necessary settings. See Selecting a System.
Personalize
Specifies whether or not portal end users can view the parameter and its assigned value if they personalize the iView at runtime. This attribute also allows you to determine whether or not end users can personalize the parameter value.
Choose one of the following options:
·        Hidden: The end user does not see the parameter and its value. This is the default setting.
·        Read / Write: The end user sees the parameter and is able to modify its value.
·        Read Only: The end user sees the parameter and the fixed value assigned to it. The end user cannot modify the parameter value.
Name
Specifies an intuitive display name for the parameter identifier. If you set the parameter to be viewable by end users at runtime, this name is displayed instead of the parameter identifier, which is often abbreviated and unintuitive.
This attribute is available only if Read / Write or Read Only is selected in the Personalize attribute. If you do not specify a name, the Personalize attribute will be reverted to Hidden.

USage of URL iView

Hi All,
How can we use the URL iView, in the process of portal branding.
Regards
Seshu

From the URL you gave, if you are referring to the BCC on the left and The Widest ex...SAP on the right;
Then you can do that by modifying the Masthead par file.
If you must go by His Decision to URL iViews, I think I know what he is referring to. He wants you to create 2 URL iViews, One wid the pic, the other with the slogan.
In that case, you need to make a Portal page of equal widths, assign both the previouslycreated URL iviews side by side, and include that page as the masthead in the Default Framework Page.
I hope my answer helped you. If so consider rewarding points.

Parsing url iview variables

Hi all,
I need create a URL iview that redirect to a target page parsing one variable.
How can I call the URL iview with one variable and propagate this variable to a target page?
thanks in advance,
david

Hi David,
While creating the url iview, pass you variable at the end of the url like http://www.yahoo.com?myVariable. And in the target, you can get the myVariable value using getParameter method. Hope this will help you.

Venkatesh. K

URL Iview is not open a new Window in FireFox

Hi Guys,
After we upgrade our portal to NW 7.0 EHp2 SP6 , we can not open the URL Iviews in Firefox.
It looks like can't force the iview to open a new window and instead it open a new tab , Any suggestion?
Thanks,

Hi Mar,
To me, the PAM mentioned Firefox 3.5 is not recommended for NW 7.0 Ehp2 - Firefox 3.6 is supported for NW 7.0 Ehp2 starting with SPS6.
Anyway, if it works in IE & Safari, I don't think it has anything to do with the portal; it's something in Firefox settings. As mentioned before, did you check the option to open new links in new windows? Also, please checkSAP Note 1296463 and its related notes about browsers to see if there's something relevant to your case.

Dao

How can I open a URL from a Custom Button in a second help window?

I have a custom button, which currently opens a URL in a web
browser, using a redirect page. How can I change this so that it
opens in a second help window instead? If I understand some of the
posts I've read, it is possible by linking the button to a related
topics function but I've no idea how this is done.
As usual, your help is most appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Hi, ecoulyn,
You need to make a topic file like the one below the target
of the Jump button.
The onLoad function on the Body start-tag causes the Related
Topics command to fire when the topic file is loaded in the topic
pane. When specifying the file name of the topic to display in the
secondary window, you must always prepend it with the name of your
.chm file, followed by "::/". Otherwise, an error message appears
when the Jump button is clicked.

How can you add iview personalization to web dynpro iviews like URL iviews?

In the URL iview editor you can define URL paramaters which are available for personalization by the user from the iview's "Personalize" option.
Can this also be done using web dynpro for java iviews?
Thanks for your help.
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
You do have a personalization that can be defined from the user, for java webdympro iview. But is not the same as you have for URL iviews.
Have a look on the links bellow:

Can't get URL iview to log in users to external site

I am testing with a simple log in page that accepts two parameter values (username and password). I have created a URL iview with these parameters that displays the page perfectly, but won't log the user in.
I am unsure if I have to set the authentication URL, method and type both in the system and in the URL iview config.
What settings HAVE to be in place (both for the iview and system) when the POST method is to be used?
Thanks, Henning

Here is the correct minimal settings:
Set Up Target System (Via System Administration - System)
as URL-System that authenticates with UID PW
Create the URL IVIEW, select the system and set the parameter values to "mapped user" and "mapped password".
Set the identifier names "i.e. "PWD" and "UID" to whatever your systems expects.
Set method to "Post" and set the mode to "client side"
This has worked for me.
In your application, you can read the parameters with the names you have set in the iview.

URL iView - Open in new window - User Action Independent

Hello Experts,
What has been configured:
I have built an I URL iview and set its paramater to open in a new window. I have assigned the iview to a role. I have also assigned a quicklink to the iview
Name: xyz
quick link: xyz
quick link url: https://<domain>/irj/portal/xyz
What has been tested:
When I log in to the portal using the test user ID and click (user action) on xyz the destination URL pops up in a new window as expected.
When I access the iview via the quick link it loads the destination URL in the same portal window (no pop up)
What do I need:
We will be using the quick link to get to SAP portal from another legacy portal and I want to hit the target URL as soon as I access the quick link without being taken to the portal page in which the target URL content is rendered. I also do not want to have the user click on the/a link to navigate to the target URL.
Things as they stand:
The destination URL is hitting a standalone WD ABAP object which is not hosted in SAP portal content. The SAP portal has to be used because the logon ticket issued by the portal is also used to login to the server hosting the WD ABAP.
Please let me know if you think this is something that can be achieved.
Many thanks,
Prashanth

Hi,
2. It is not possible to hide it completely or disable it. Give this a try:
Create a Static HTML page and create a link in that which will take you to quick link page/iview.
or you can create a custom application which will call the application underlying the quicklink on click of a link.
3. For removing the History, Back and Forwards links in Page Title Bar, follow the below:
In Portal navigate to Content Administration - Portal Content - Content Provided by SAP - End User Content - Standard Portal Users - Open the Default Framework Page
With the Framework Page - you will find Page Title Bar iView - Open the iview and go to iView Property
Show Back/Forward Links and Show History List by default this setting is set to Yes. change teh setting to No and you will not be seeing those in the page title bar.
NOTE: If you make this change it is applicable to all other pages and iViews. So be cautious before making the change.
Hope this helps.
cheers-
Pramod

Use of Parameters in URL iViews

I'm looking for information/documentation/examples of using parameters in URL iViews. In particular, I'm hoping that we can pick up some portal runtime info to include as parameters in the URL for a URL iView.
For example, here at my customer, Kodak, we plan to have country specific roles. The US Role will have a US specific Welcome Page which has a URL iView that points to a Content Management document for the US Welcome Page. The problem is that I could have one US user who's preferred language (and Portal Language Preference) is English and another who's preference is Spanish. Thus, I would need to point to the correct language version for the user. To do this, I would like to be able to pick up the language preference in the current Portal session and include it in the URL.
Is this possible? Is it standard stuff? What types of user or session context information or parameters can we pick up to use in the target URL of a URL iView and how would I use or code it in the iView.
Thanks for you help.

Hi John & Luis,
The standard solution is the <i>Application Integrator</i> :
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sapportals.km.docs/documents/a1-8-4/the application integrator in ep 6.0
A flexible way of providing parameters to it (if the standard options described in the above document are not enough) is to write a <i>Customer Parameter Provider</i> :
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/ep/how to start transaction iviews with a dynamically computed language.pdf
Hope that helps,
Yoav.

Dynamic Parameters in URL-IView

Hai,
I am using the ESS-framework and I want to create a link which calls an URL with dynamic parameters.
I have already created an URL-Iview with the example url:
http://a.nl:51800/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/pcui_gp~isr/IsrForm
And I also defined a resource and a service in the backend (Customizing)
My question is:
How can I dynamically generate the Parameters SCENARIO and MODE in the url using the URL input field in the defined resource?

Hi Remco,
If you create several resources for the same webdynpro (isrform) you can pass params via the resource definition (URL params).
Your webdynpro application can be defined as:
- Webdynpro application (in the xss homepage framework) as a resource;
- URL resource linking to a portal page/iview (with params): url iview with params
- URL resource linking to a portal page/iview (with params): webdynpro iview with params
But before you are going to tweak with it, please try to find out if your url will work:
http://a.nl:51800/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/pcui_gp~isr/IsrForm?scenaro=SPEG&mode=CREATE.
If this works, then create an iview in the portal of the url type or webdynpro type. Does it still work with static params? If so, remove the static params from your iview properties.
Now try the following link:
http://yourportal:port/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=pcd_path_to_your_iview
If this works, check out the following link:
http://yourportal:port/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=pcd_path_to_your_iview&DynamicParameter=MODE%3DCREATE%26SCENARIO%3DSPEG
Everything after DynamicParameter must be encoded. To find out what the encoding is, just use google and search for your characher. As an example (let's find the = sign):
http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=%3D&meta=
%3D is the = sign
Last step:
Create a resource as described on top of this post.
This will be my approach to get this working
Good luck!

Trigger Navigation an iView/Page from Portal component

All,
I am writing AbstractPortalComponent and after performing some logic, I have to forward the control to a iView/Page. Please let me know how I can trigger navigation to a iView/Page from within AbstractPortalComponent.
Thanks,
Prasad

Hi Reddy,
You can use EPCF Navigation API in response.write.
response.write("<html>");
response.write("<script language='javascript'>");
response.write("EPCM.doNavigate('ROLES://<pcd location of the iview or page>');");
response.write("</script>");
response.write("</html>");
Or you can use request.redirect(url) for this depending on your requirement. For request.redirect check this link.

Embed Portal URL iView in a webdynrpo View

Hello Everyone,
Could anyone help me in embedding an URL iView in to a Webdynrpo View? Thanks.
Regards,
Gopal.

Hi Thomas,
Thanks a lot for your reply. My exact requirement is to integrate Sharepoint in to one of the tabs of a tabstrip of our cProjects application. So we were thinking of creating a URL iview and then embedding it in to a custom tab. I know we can create an IFrame and call the URL, but calling an URL in IFRAME will not give us a option of making both sharepoint and portal look same! So, is there any other way of embedding the sharepoint in to the tab? I hope this explans my requirement. Please do let me know if you require any further clarification of my requirement. Thanks.
Regards,
Gopal.
