Hi Misel,
Yes you can customize 'My Appointment' iView. Please follow the following steps. I think this will help you
1. Logon to portal as Administrator which has 'Content Administrator' role
2. Navigate to Content Administrator -> Portal Content
3. Open the tree 'Portal Content'
4. Open the tree 'Content Provided by SAP'
5. Open the tree 'Collaboration'
6. Open the tree 'Demo Role'
7. Open the tree 'iView'
8. Open iView 'My Appointments'
Now you can customize the iView.
Even you can customize all the iView under 'Collaboration Demo' from here.
If you have any questions or want more clerification please feel free to ask.

Chamkaur

Hi,
Do you want to modify the preview (displayed under the list of items) or the application which is launched when you click on the work item? If it is the preview, you'll have to customize the task in the backend or modify the UWL xml configuration file. If it is the application you'll have to modify a standard WD Java iView.

Customizing the "Recent Notifications" iView

Hey folks
Our client wants to change the SAP standard "Recent Notifications" iView. He thinks (justifiably) that the headers "subscriptions" and "subscribed items" are a bit vague, so we want to change them to more specific titles, like "subscription management" and "subscription alerts".
Two questions:
1. Is there an easy way of doing this?
2. If not, how do I customize the iView? According to the iView properties, it's based on com.sap.km.cm.actioninbox, but I can't find this in a PAR file anywhere...
We're still on EP6SP14.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Christopher,
With such modifications you always have to choose between "bad" and "worse" - it's just the question which is which...
Of course you could create a new component with a new name based on the original one and also change the role content to refer to the modified application. On the other side, new SPs have new features and removed bugs, and normally you will like to use these advantages. But if you create a modification in a new namespace, the new PARs aren't referenced.
So, as said, you have to decide what would be more important for you - to have the possibility to upgrade with no extra admin tasks to get your old solution running or to use the new version and to redo the modifications. As in this case "redo" primarily means copy the property files to some place, I would definitely advise to go the way described.
When modifying Java code, this question is harder to answer (and there is no general answer at all). It also can make sense to try to only create some small part of a PAR and from within that, to reference the standard implementation - not always possible and at least initially more work. But to decide what makes most sense is really project and customer dependent.
Hope it helps

Customizing the Collaboration Launch Pad

Hi,
Is there any way I can customize "My Contacts List" to display another attribute of the user next to his name?
If not then is there a way to build my own customized Collaboration Launch Pad or "My Contacts List"?

Customizing the document loading iview

Dear all
we have a fully functional km system. In general whenever we want to load a new document we get a view where we enter name ,disc,..and for show further options we get extra options ..but what we want is to customize it in such a way that it has to show some more options ....(the entire documents in the km has to divided in to categories n subcategories irrespective of its foldar location...so these categories and sub categories have to reflect as options).we want this to refine our search option . it would be convinient if we have the category field and subcategories as the drop down .
can anyone explain me how this can be acheived .

Hi,
Well, i think making use of taxonomies will help you classifying the documents in various catagories, have a look on these links:

How to configure Collaboration (demo) role.

Hello,
I want to remove "Room Quick Launch" iView that is diplayed under Detail navigation iView in Collaboration(demo) role, but I don't know how to do this? Could you please help me and tell where and how can I configure this?
Regards,
Michal Maciejewski

Hi Michal,
You can go to the PCD and open the Collaboration Demo Role.
It should be in "content provided by SAP" folder. There you can open the
required page and remove the quick launch from the dynamic navigation.
But it is always advisable not to change SAP provided content.
Instead try to copy the role to your own namespace and try to modify it.
Pls reward points if useful

Collaboration forum iview error

Hello,
I want to work with Collaboration forum iview in EP7.0 SP13. So, I have installed the following software components (visible from EP System information):
sap.com KMC-UI 7.00 SP13 (1000.7.00.13.0.20070827114000) SAP AG SAP AG 20071121151957
sap.com FORUMS 7.00 SP13 (1000.7.00.13.0.20070827114000) SAP AG SAP AG 20071121152111 
Unfortunately, when I preview the Collaboration forum iview the following error appears:
wrong iView configuration. further information can be found in the log file of your engine.
And finally the log file shows the next error message:
wrong iView Configuration: the iView property 'com.sap.nw.coll.forums.portal.ForumsView is not correctly set up. '' is an invalid value.
Is another post-installation step necessary?
Could it be a permission problem?
Any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Marta.

A forum 7.00 SCA file contains the actual Forums Application whereas KMCUI contains Forums Iview template.
2. Deploying files using SDM
Start RemoteGUI.bat from \usr\sap\EBD\DVEBMGS00\SDM\program
Choose Deployment. Add Forums SCA file and KMCUI SCA file for deployment. Follow the 4 steps to complete the installation.

 You can see the Collaboration Forums iView Template in PCD.
Goto Content Administration -> Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP -> Templates -> iView Templates
1. Providing basic set of Forums Iviews.
After deploying forum application to your portal, you need to make the Forums Homepage and Forums Administrative functions accessible via Portal iViews.

SAP recommends to create a custom iView template as a delta link copy of the standard iView template delivered by SAP. The specific configuration of your custom iView template is not affected by new deployments.
1. In the portal, choose Content Administration -> Portal Content.
2. In the Portal Content Studio, open the folder Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP -> Templates -> iView Templates.
3. In the context menu of the Collaboration Forums iView choose Copy.
4. Locate the target folder (a folder of your choice) and in its context menu choose Paste as Delta Link.
5. Rename the custom iView template so that in the iView creation wizard you can distinguish the specific iView template from the default one.
You may need to restart the cluster in order to see your custom iView template in the list of iView templates when you create a new iView.
2. Create End User and Administrator iViews
Based on custom iView template for forums, you can create the required forum iViews. To work with forums you need following 3 Forums iViews:
 User view (Forums Home page)
 Administrator View (Admin Console)
 Initial Administration View
Procedure to create all these views is same only the iView configuration differs.
Procedure to create these iViews1. In the portal, choose Content Administration -> Portal Content.
2. In the Portal Content Studio locate the target folder for your new iView.
3. In the target folder's context menu, choose New -> iView.
4. Select the custom iView template for forums.
5. Enter the required values and in the last step choose Finish.
6. Select the option Open the object for editing.
To configure each iView, open property editor of the iView.
a. User View
1. Select the property category Forums Configuration.
2. For the property View on Forums select Forums.
3. Select the property category Navigation.
4. For the property Quick link enter forums.
b. Administrator iView

3. Create roles and set Administrator for Forums
Now you have all the iView required to work with Forums application. Please create a simple role, name it as Forums Admin and assign all the 3 iViews you have created to the role.
Create a End User role and include only User View (Forums Homepage iView) in the role.
Assign this new role to a portal user. Login to portal using this portal user.
Setting Administrator for forum Application.
 Navigate to Forums role -> Initial Administration iView.Note: To Access this Initial Admin iView, Portal user should be in Administrators Group.

In this iView, enter a portal user and choose Set User. This user will be New Forums Administrator.
Now you have set a Forums Administrator. Login using this portal user, don't forget to attach Forums Administrator role to this user.

Trying to see the Guided Demo of KM and Collaboration in SDN

Hi,
Just one month back , I found a eclass in SDN, a demo( guided end user tour) of KM and Coolaboration to illustrate the functionality of the end users. This was a eclass with the online demo but only with a voice and no small video of the instructor. The full page was used to show the Portal Page in action and showed the capability of KM AND COLL as the end would experience.
Currently all the eclass( KM and coll) are power point based demo and the one that I am talking about is no longer available.
Have any body seen the one I mentioned before and help me to find it. If any body has it stored on his/her's pc let me know, i can send my email address .
Thanks
Arun

Hi Arun,
have you checked this link?:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn?rid=/media/public/videos/knowledge management and collaboration features/index.html

Customizing ToolArea hides the Collaboration Launch Pad link...Please guide

Hello All,
This is the second time now that when I customize the ToolArea...like in first one I added a marquee and now a clock showing the current time to users.
But in doing so, the Collaboration Launch Pad link disappears.
And I did not touch any code related to it.
I just add a <td> after the <td>of SearchTextBox in ToolArea.
Please help me understand this behaviour? Whatz going wrong?
Awaiting Reply.
Thanks and Warm Regards,
Ritu R Hunjan

Hi Abdu,
Inorder to enable your instant mesaging and other activities in the launch pad enable the RTC and collaboration lauch pad property of the tool area iview in the innerpage.Automatically then you should get all the link to activities.
also you can hide some of the properties if you donot want to show them in the CLP.
for this refer to

Customizing the Search iview to our Requirements..

Hi All
Please let me know whether we can customize the Search iview to our needs/requirements, as i have to develop this for searching the docs into new categories in the KM.
Can we make an iview in WebDynpro and use directly it as a Search iview inplace of the standard Search iview with the options slightly customized.
Regards,
Priya

Hi,
You can create your WebDynpro iview and change DefaultPortalPage (you should replace the com.sap.portal.toolAreaiView by yours).
Or if you don't want to change the standard portal content then make a copy of this portal page, change the copy with your iview, and create your portal desktop with this page.

Andrei

Custome Event for the Result Set iView

Hi,
does anybody know how to set up the Custom Event on the Result Set iView in order to trigger an event when a record is selected?
I know how to do it using an event Type = EPCF + Event Name + Namespace, but this creates an extra colum on the Result Set iView with the Custom Event name on it, that has to be click in order to trigger the event. I do not want click on this column, i just want to create the event when the record is selected.
Regards
Diego.

Hi Diego,
We are also implementing similar scenario.
We also want to open a window on the clik of any column of the result and if the result is zero we want to trigger some another iView.
So if u have found any solution can u just let me know.
OR else can u just elaborate on ur current scenario using EPCF and custom event.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards Shruti.

Add logo to Demantra Worksheet FORM (not the collaborator workbench)

My customer intends to roll out data capture using a worksheet to their dealerships throughout the globe and their corporate systems all have their logo attached.
Whilst I except that this is an unusual request – is their any way in which I can add the logo customisation to the worksheet ‘skin’ . Apparently the worksheet is supplied as a released java applet. Can this simple customisation be demo'd? how would I do it?
I know I can add their logo to the collaborator workbench.

I insert the logo to shared components -> image (with gif suffix)
then shared components -> definitions -> logo
I chose image and I wrote <img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGE/logo.gif" >

Collaboration Room iViews give error -- Database related errors -- Pls Help

Hello Everyone,
We are on EP 6.0 SP 17 (Netweaver 2004).
KMC component was installed separately (Deployed manually).
We are trying to create simple Collaboration Rooms and we are facing some issues with the same.
I am following the documentation on SAP Help for the Room Creation:
Help  SAP Netweaver 2004  People Integration  Collaboration  Administration Guide
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1d/3d59fdaa5ebb45967ea107d3fa117a/frameset.htm
We are able to create rooms based on pre-defined templates and we are also able to add members to rooms, send/receive the invitation emails. I am able to work with Instant Messaging also.
But the problem is that some of the iViews related to Collaboration Rooms are giving errors.
1. Discussion iView gives an error saying You do not have access permission (even the user has all the necessary roles assigned).
Log for this error is as follows:
Exception ID = 90c3315f-c29d-2910-87ac-806aa372da7f com.sapportals.wdf.WdfError at com.sapportals.wdf.WdfCompositeController.buildComposition(WdfCompositeController.java:678)at com.sapportals.htmlb.AbstractCompositeComponent.preRender(AbstractCompositeComponent.java:33)

I tried to change the permissions of the Discussion iView, but it did not work either.
2. Some iViews like Room Information throw a Runtime Error as follows:
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : pcd:portal_content/com.sap.ip.collaboration/RoomPartContent/Generic/Pages/com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomDiscussionPage/com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomInformationExtended

The exception was logged. Inform your system administrator..
Exception id: 02:17_02/02/07_0006_213711350
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
I have figured out that the following error message is common in most or the error messages:
The SQL statement "INSERT INTO "KMC_URIMAPPER" ("HASH_KEY","EXTERNAL_KEY","CONST_INTERNAL","VAR_INTERNAL","EK_PREFIX","EKHK00","EKHK01","EKHK02","EKHK03","EKHK04","EKHK05","EKHK06","EKHK07","EKHK08","EKHK09","EKHK10","EKHK11","EKHK12","EKHK13","EKHK14") VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)" contains the semantics error[s]: column "EK_PREFIX" not in any scope
Are there any database related configurations required for making the Collaboration Room Discussion functionality work properly?
Are there any KM related configurations necessary other than those mentioned in the document I am referring to?
Are there any database related configurations that are required?
I would really appreciate any help in this matter. Please advise me about any ideas you may have?
Thanks,
Raj Seelam

Hello Lars,
First of all thank you for your reply.
do u use Collaboration first time?
Yes, we just started using Collaboration and this is our first requirement.
Which roles do u have?
I have all the required roles (Super Admin, Content Management, Collaboration, Collaboration Room Creation).
I know that these features are available in NW04 SP 17 without any limitations. I have reviewed SAP Notes 707730, 711093, 709354 and 946470 also.
This problem is with only a few Collaboration iViews.
I am able to create Rooms, Enter Rooms, Receive Invitation e-mails without any problem.
Any suggestions about any possible missing configurations ?
Thanks Again,
Raj

Why this behaviour. Why the "Classpath" entry should
not be the last line in the manifest file.
That is a question for the people at Sun. The behaviour is not specific to Class-Path. The last line of the Manifest is not read unless it ends with a newline.
