Detailed Portal Content Portfolio Documentation

Does anyone know where to find detailed pictures and descriptions of the iViews inside of a business package? The documentation inside of the Portfolio Content Manager does not seem to provide a lot of detail, beyond one line descriptions. And, the documentation seems to focus on technical details. I work in IT. I would like to be able to show the folks from our business areas more information, without actually downloading entire packages. And, I am looking for a format that will make it clear to them, what specific iviews would provide.

Hi,
in the Portal Content Portfolio, you can find Screenshots for a lot of the packages.
Access the detailed information of a package and look for the link 'Screenshot Sampler'. This will open a html page containing the screenshots of the iViews or worksets.
For a lot of business packages, the business description part of the documentation focuses on the role, workset and page level, so there is only technical documentation of the iViews available. Some of them however, will also offer additional information on iView level.

Portal content Portfolio

Hi
I am looking for screenshots on ESS. Just a few days back I was able to see screenshots, PDF documentation etc for all Business Packages.I don't see it anymore. Does anyone know where are they situated now? Or does anyone have screenshots of the ESS-mySAP ERP2004, 60.2?
Cheers
Anand

Hi Anand,
that's correct, this type of information unfortunately is no longer available in the PCP. What you can do is go to Service Marketplace (login required) quicklink /ess. In the box on the right hand side, there's a link to the ESS Media Library. The presentations "The new Architecture of ESS and MSS" and "A new Generation of ESS Based on Web Dynpro" contain a good collection of screenshots on various ESS functions.

Dynamic Portal Content

Dear All
I am creataing a page on Portal will be used to display advertisements.
Advertisments have many paragraphs. How can I manage the web content of such type on Portal.
Using Webdynpro to fetch text from database is an expensive task.

hi adnan,
Web Content Management in the Enterprise Portal -
The future of traditional Web Content Management (WCM) systems is uncertain. Businesses
are increasingly implementing enterprise portal solutions that are primarily focused
on application and business process integration. However, existing Web Content
Management systems that concentrate on the creation, maintenance and provision of
web-based content, for example for intranet operation, have become established in todays
enterprise. This development presents a new challenge for enterprise IT departments:
These two very separate system worlds must be unified both in design and technology.
Enterprise portals represent a direct advancement for intranets and dynamic websites,
mainly due to the user-specific integration of applications and information in a single,
unified user interface. In order to make a clear distinction, the terms intranet and portal
should be defined:
An intranet provides employees with information using static HTML pages and/or a Web
Content Management System. Access to individual web-based applications from the
intranet is made possible by simple links. Consequently, an intranet is designed mainly
for the purpose of information distribution and is only marginally involved in process optimization.
Since there is no logical connection between the applications, users are forced
to log in separately to various applications with different user registration data. The required
user names and passwords are usually not consistent throughout a company. Furthermore,
roles are not part of intranet design and it is not possible to customize the
user interface (user customizing).
An enterprise portal is a complex integration infrastructure that consolidates application
systems, services and information from a variety of different sources within an enterprise
into a central, unified user interface (e.g. web browser) that is individually adapted for
each employee and accessible from every desktop. Enterprise portal content is individually
adapted for every employee or group; this is made possible by corresponding role
concepts.
Enterprise portals have opened a single point of entry for a variety of different business
applications. So why not simply present the complex content required directly within the
enterprise portal and completely replace existing extranet or intranet solutions? Most
new generation portal software products neglect this concept. The Content Management
they offer out of the box is rudimentary at best. Unfortunately, many IT decision makers
are either partially or completely unaware of this shortcoming.
On the other hand, there are highly sophisticated Web Content Management systems and
products on the market functionalities range from Internet building blocks for creating
simple homepages to adequate workflow integration within the Information Lifecycle.
Moreover, these systems include additional tools for generating navigational structures
as well as editing and authoring tools for managing content on websites. Link management,
approval workflows and access controls for designated areas of the web-based
solution are practically taken for granted. A Web Content Management system delivers
the technologies, tools and methods for creating, managing, storing, preserving and providing
electronic content throughout the entire enterprise. This generally recognized defnition originates from AIIM International (Association for Information and Image Management
International). Unlike document management, which can be described as a database-
supported management system for electronic documents, Web Content Management
encompasses web publishing, publishing intranet or internet pages and provides
structured publication of web-based information.
At first glance, deploying Web Content Management systems allows enterprises to unify
web-based content and application-based information within a single enterprise portal,
regardless of the format in which the information is available.
Some WCM software manufacturers have already taken action and provide specifically
for the SAP NetWeaver Portal comprehensive integration packages that integrate
their high-performance Web Content Management systems in the portal software.
But how do companies manage and supply the content to be published in an enterprise
portal created on the basis of business-oriented portal software? At a time when users
are already confronted with heterogeneous environments in their day-to-day work, every
additional system is simply another burden. Integrating a high-performance, technologically
advanced Web Content Management system in an enterprise portal is problematic
because, to a great extent, both software solutions implement competing concepts and
technologies which must be further explained.
Both systems require their own server infrastructure and rely on their own, completely
proprietary software architecture based on a separate database and/or data storage system.
As a result, additional expenditure is incurred for all of the following aspects:
· Parallel expenditure for hardware
· Parallel expenditure for operation and monitoring
· Parallel expenditure for backup & restore
· Parallel expenditure for security design and implementations
· Parallel expenditure for performance optimization
· Parallel expenditure for administrator training
From the perspective of an enterprise portal infrastructure, a Web Content Management
system is a third-party system which must be integrated via interfaces. Thus, the following
issues must be addressed:
(1) Parallel existence of two navigational structures: a) navigational structures, pages
and roles within the enterprise portal and b) menu items and storage structures
within the external WCM system.
(2) Editors are required to learn how to work with two different tools and user interfaces.
(3) A search function must be developed that can be utilized for both systems; access
rights for both systems must be given special attention here.
(4) Parallel existence of two authorization concepts. Defining access rights in an enterprise
portal is generally possible on the basis of users, groups, and portal roles in
particular. Access rights management in a WCM system has its own administrator interfaces
and authorization objects which need to be aligned.
(5) Parallel workflow concepts: An enterprise portal has application-oriented workflow
procedures that are usually based on the user administration integrated into the portal
(users, roles and groups). A WCM system often uses its own staging concept for
approving web pages based on its own workflow which exists parallel to the portal
workflow.
(6) Parallel user registration data management: Enterprise portals offer powerful features
for user administration which must be used in addition to or in competition
with the WCM system user administration. It makes sense to use a single LDAP interface
for both systems. However, this does not solve the key problem: both systems
have their own administration tools for user management.
(7) Parallel security concepts: Enterprise portals offer very powerful security design concepts
and functions; a WCM system has its own design concepts and these must also
be managed and taken into consideration.
(8) Some external WCM systems generate portal objects (e.g. menu items in portal
roles) via interfaces. Changes to these generated objects are overwritten during
each generation process making it impossible to use all of the functionality of the
portal tools. Only the features that are generated and/or supported by the WCM system
can be fully leveraged.
(9) Parallel concepts for link management: There are different methods for creating and
managing links in both software systems. A particular problem is posed by targets
that affect the role-based navigational structure of the enterprise portal which generally
cannot be conveniently selected as most editors would expect.
(10) Parallel page creation and layout concepts (look & feel): Both systems have their
own concept of performance-optimized page presentation. Similarly, both systems
offer different methods and tools for editing the look & feel of the pages.
Taking the above issues into consideration, serious thought should be given to integrating
an external Web Content Management system in an enterprise portal. From a longterm
perspective and when taking the Total Cost of Ownership into consideration, operating
two IT systems as complex as these parallel to one another is impractical, even if the
WCM system manufacturers offer portal-specific integration packages for their software.
A closer look at these packages shows that many of the interface problems and design
redundancies detailed above will nevertheless continue to persist.
From the authors perspective, every project involving Web Content Management in enterprise
portals should question whether or not the desired editing processes and WCM
requirements could be served with the standard features of the enterprise portal or covered
by an expansion package or implementation and project work. This solution path is
further explained in the following practical example.
Practical example: Web Content Management in the SAP NetWeaver Portal
With its SAP NetWeaver Portal, SAP not only provides the basis for a successful
backend system for business process optimization, but also delivers basic Web Content
Management functionalities. In order to structure the content, the SAP NetWeaver Portal
utilizes a central tool - the Portal Content Studio.
The Portal Content Studio offers a central environment for developing and managing all
types of portal content, such as portlets (iViews), pages, layouts, worksets, roles, and
packages.
Figure 1: Portal Content Studio for the SAP NetWeaver Portal (source: btexx Portal)
The most important object in the Portal Content Catalog is the role, which serves two
purposes: First of all, the role is assigned to users or user groups, achieving the typical
personalization required of an enterprise portal, secondly, the role in the SAP portal defines
the menu structure that is linked to the role at the same time.
A role can be implemented as a hierarchical tree structure with an infinite number of
nested objects. The tree structure is formed by creating folders. Pages or iViews can be
positioned at any level within the hierarchy. There are different types of iViews; typical
examples of iViews are R/3 transactions, eBusiness applications, Internet/intranet applications,
or content-based iViews (HTML content, text, graphics). iViews are typically positioned
and arranged on pages but they can also be independently built into roles.
Within a role, so-called Entry Points must be defined which are then included as a menu
item in both of the top navigation bars of the portal menu. The portal menu is generally
comprised of multiple roles (with corresponding Entry Points). However, the order of the
menu items can be defined (using the Attribute Priority).
Additionally, SAP provides an Internet platform that offers a selection of ready-to-use
portal contents in a general catalog that can be imported into the Portal Content Studio.
SAP calls these out-of- the-box solutions SAP Business Packages. Partners and other
software manufacturers are able to provide solutions and/or interfaces based on this
platform and have them certified by SAP (SAP offers a certification program especially
designed for these solutions). The iView list for the so-called Portal Content Portfolio
(formally iView Studio) includes thousands of iViews.
The SAP Portal Content Portfolio can be accessed here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/contentportfolio
In many aspects, the tools and capabilities of the Portal Content Studio are comprehensive
and advanced yet they are not sufficient for comprehensive Web Content Management.
First and foremost, the Portal Content Studio supports the establishment of rolebased
navigational structures and the definition of portal pages on which iViews can be
positioned and arranged. This method of content creation is comparatively complex and
not suited for the daily business of an editor, who is typically less involved in changing
content structures and more involved in changing the content elements contained therein
(text, graphics, flash files, links, documents, etc.). Pragmatic methods and simple
mechanisms are desired for the management of this content. The material in the content-
based iViews must be freely definable through simple and intuitive means and editors
should be able to create content themselves.
The SAP Knowledge Management (KM) component is available for storing content and
documents in SAP NetWeaver. The content to be presented can be stored and managed
via a folder structure that must be managed parallel to the Portal Content Directory.
However, in the standard feature set of the SAP NetWeaver Portal, the KM folder where
this content is later to be saved must be defined for every content-based KM iView. An
automatic link between the current role position and the KM location is not created. Simple
shifting between read and edit mode is another feature that is not available in the
standard version despite the fact that this functionality is extremely important for editors.
Despite the multitude of existing functions, the standard SAP NetWeaver Portal offers
insufficient capabilities for comfortable Web Content Management. Editing capabilities for
XML forms, so-called docs iViews, URL-iViews or TREX searches are offered but their use
is anything but intuitive and involves a great deal of administrative expenditure. This
makes a high level of knowledge in building web content within the SAP NetWeaver
Portal a prerequisite. Above all, there are little or no possibilities for using Web Content
Management functionality such as the construction of generic content structures, link
management, multi-language support or a navigational context available from the search
results without the relevant programming or HTML knowledge.
This is where an enhancement from btexx business technologies GmbH, the Business
Package easyWCM for Web Content Management in SAP NetWeaver Portal comes in. It
uses the Portal Content Studio as a central tool yet significantly accelerates editing processes.
It allows content elements to be linked effectively with portal objects that are created
automatically through the use of easyWCM iViews. Every authorized user can create,
publish and edit information.
This Business Package automatically stores the content elements in the KM component
assigned in the navigation structure in the background and makes them available for further
editing on portal pages, greatly simplifying subsequent content management work.
This is why the editor no longer requires technical knowledge of where the content is
stored in the KM. Thanks to easyWCM, both the editor and the end-user work with the
same portal role and costly multiple management of the navigation and content storage
structure is unnecessary. Using the Inplace Editing feature, the editor is able to edit
content directly on the portal pages on which the content is presented and visualized.
The Business Package is based 100% on the SAP NetWeaver Portal and Knowledge
Management Components; no third-party servers or additional software products are required.
The portal server is solely responsible for providing the runtime platform.
A third-party Content Management System may be able to offer a larger selection of features
than easyWCM but it implementing and operating the additional solution will require
a great deal more resources. The easyWCM Business Package for the SAP Net-
Weaver Portal provides Web Content Management simply and effectively while supporting
the following essential requirements:
Complete integration for SAP Portal Content Studio
An editor does not need any tools other than the SAP Portal Content Studio. The desired
navigational structures are provided as SAP portal roles in the SAP Portal Content Studio
- the application of easyWCM iViews is thereby possible anywhere within portal roles,
worksets and pages. The main advantage of this solution is that the editors enter content
in a single environment in which all web content and navigational structures are stored
and administered.
Inplace editing:
End-users and editors work with the same portal roles. Therefore, no separate portal
roles for providing and maintaining the content are required! As an editor, easyWCM
iView offers you the ability to add and work on content components directly within the
portal (Inplace Editing). Furthermore, the editor is able to use SAP KM standard functions
(e.g. authorization assignment, workflow, feedback, rating, etc.) directly within the content
component.
Automatic creation of KM folders
A general standard is that everyone must indicate the respective KM file path in which
the content components are to be stored. This requires a great deal of effort when maintaining
portals with a large number of web content elements. easyWCM automatically
produces the necessary listings with the desired KM authorizations at runtime and simultaneously
activates the desired KM services (life span, manual arrangement, history,
workflow). During shifting or copying processes in the SAP Portal Content Studio, the
elements are automatically moved and copied within the KM!
Preview functionality from Portal Content Studio
A preview function for each form is easily accessible with a single click. It is also possible
to preview items directly from the Portal Content Studio in order to view the complete
portal page, for example. easyWCM iViews were designed in a way that also enables users
to enter and edit content directly from the SAP Portal Content Studio preview function.
Multiple use of content elements
easyWCM iViews may be adjusted in such a way as to allow content to be used more
than once. Using this option, the content is not stored by the role and/or page, but is
linked centrally within the easyWCM iView. The multiple use of content components is
important, for example, if the right column of the portal presentation is exactly the same
for several pages (e.g. for contact data, partners, advertisements, etc.).
Approval workflow
If desired, the SAP KM approval workflow may be activated in order to manage content
elements. Changes to content elements will only be visible after the approval. All XML
forms provided by easyWCM support the SAP KM approval workflow and indicate the
permission status by using traffic lights.
Version management
If desired, the SAP KM version management may be activated in order to manage content
elements. An editor with the proper authorization can specify the portal pages on
which version management should be activated. When version management is activated,
it is possible to replace older content components or to cancel incorrect modifications.
With each change, a new version is automatically stored and documented including the
date and the person who made the change.
Life span
If desired, the SAP KM life span function may be activated in order to manage content
elements. An editor with the proper authorization can specify the portal pages on which
the life span function should be activated. Activating the life span function makes it possible
to publish a content component for a specific period (this is useful for news or
events, for example).
Authorization-based search functionality
The SAP NetWeaver standard component TREX is used for the search function. One of
the key advantages of easyWCM compared to external WCM solutions is that the search
is implemented completely on the basis of the SAP NetWeaver platform and, in particular,
that it is dependent on the authorization status. A separate search machine with its
own user and authorization administration is not required.
Multi-language support
easyWCM automatically detects the language of the editor and stores the content in
separate folders. Folders for content in different languages are created based on the active
portal language.
Ready-to-use forms and pages
easyWCM contains a set of immediately useable portal roles and pages which may be
used for your desired menu structures and page layouts. As such, easyWCM provides the
ability to create and maintain Internet pages without special HTML programming knowledge.
easyWCM also contains more than 30 XML forms based on the XML forms builder
(SAP standard) which can be used for content creation. These XML forms may also be
custom designed to fit your needs.
Personalized user interface
easyWCM determines the user interface depending on portal authorizations of the
user/editor and the corresponding authorizations of the respective KM folders. The
easyWCM package contains different KM layout sets which may be activated via customization,
if desired. Working on content is simple; an editor with the appropriate KM writepermissions

Question about permissions in portal content

Hi all,
I'd like to ask you guys a question about permissions given to pages in the portal content (EP 6.0).
When a user accesses a page that contains an iView (for example one for a Web Dynpro, or for a BSP), and the page permissions are correctly set for the user (or a group the user is member of), everything works fine and the user can see and use the application contained in the iView.
If the Page has no permissions set and the user tries to access this page, an empty page appears instead and the "Detailed Navigation" column appears on the left.
I know I should not let the user see the link to the page he is not authorized to use (this is done managing the roles given to the user), but I'd like to know from you if it is possible to show a message like "unauthorized user" instead of the empty page that appears.
Can you also tell me how to keep the "Detailed Navigation" column hidden on the extreme left?
Thank you for any hint you can give to me.
Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,
a way how you might go ahead and hide or show content for specific user groups is via roles merging (see documentation <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/53/89503ede925441e10000000a114084/content.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/53/89503ede925441e10000000a114084/content.htm</a>
In essence, this means that you create for example 2 roles (A and B): A contains some content everyone can see, B more secure content for another group. You merge those 2 roles via a merge ID - and if a user has both roles, he sees the content in this workset with all the navigation options. If somebody only has role A, he will only see this content.
Maybe this is someting that could help with you considerations (always depending on the number of items that are affected, this might be a useful way, or leading to too much confusion, because you have too much different roles).
Best regards
Jana

Portal Content area not displaying in Portal

I tried to disable Portal favorites option from Content admin -> Default Frame work Page -> Detailed navigation. Instead of only disabling the default navigation I have disabled the entire Portal content area and I am now not able to see any content in the Portal except the masthead area and the Top level navigation.
Can any one please help me on this.
Thanks.

Hi,
Check the content area iview in the Desktop inner page in framework page.If this iview is not there then it will not show the content area.
If desktop inner page is deeted then also you will not see the content area.
If so please add the content area iview indside the Desktop inner page then you can see the content area for the users.
Content area iview will be available under the following path of the portal
Content Administration > Portal Content > Content provided by sap > Admin Interfaces > Admin Iview Templates > Content Area (view).

How to use an self-made iView in the Portal Content?

Hi everybody,
I followed the instructions to set up a Portal (6.0 SP 2) with the PDK. Now I just wrote a simple "Hello-World" iView and deployed it into the portal server. It worked fine when I clicked to test it in the Java Development Inspector.
But...
In the Portal Content I can not find my self-made iView? How do I get it there? I coudn't find any documentation.
I'd appreciate your help!

In the portal content try to create a new Iview and select the option (create new iview from portal Archive).
After selecting that you will see all the PARs deployed on your server, just select yours and follow on.
Hope that helps.

BI content with folder structure in portal Content Area

HI Dear Friends,
I have a requirement in my current project where i am integrating the BI reports with SAP EP.Iviews are associated with BI Reports.In the portal on clicking workset it should display folders in the portal content area with Icons instead of in Detail navigation .On click of the displayed folders it should display its sub content with Icons.
I tried in all ways but later i came to know there there is a SAP BI business package which would come up with predifined iviews associated with BI. By importing this business package we can dispaly the BI content in the portal in a folder format .
I am using BI and EP 7.0 versions.
Ratnakar

Ratnakar,
   Let me understand your requirements, correct me if I understood it wrong. You need to display BI reports in Folder structure that is similar when you log on through BEx analyzer or WAD. If this is correct, then you need to upload the BI Role which contain all the required Folder structures and it BI Queries or BI Queries url assigned to that role.Once you upload this role on to portal , you will see folder structure on PCA.
Example
BI Reports - Folder 1
I--> FI reports -- Subfolder 1
I            I--> AP reports 1
I--> CO reports -- Subfolder 2
               I--> Cost Report 1
Hope it helps,

Hi,
Were u able to do the operations before the UWL configuration? There is possibility that it would have been caused because of improper configurations also.

ESS application systems creation in Portal content area

Hi ESS experts,
I had struck up in the systems creation part of the ESS implementation in EP7, ECC6.
I have the ESS set up guide by Siddhartha Jain which is just short of details on how to set up the systems for system alias SAP_Webdynpro_XSS, ITS, and back end R/3 system creation in the system and how to test the connections.
Can any one give a detail guide on how to set up the various systems in the Portal content directory to that the Ess application can be launched in the portal?
I had deployed the BP as described in the guide (and guided by the forum members) and all my Jco connections are Green in color. I need to complete the system creation and user creation in the portal and launch the ESS applicaiton in portal.
(Set up the first system on the Portal J2EE server in which the business package has been implemented and assign the system the alias SAP_WebDynpro_XSS.) Here is the step I need help!!!
Please help, and thanks in advance,
Regards

Hi Vinod,
Thanks for the immediate response.
Can you please guide me on the below statement?
>>>Then you need to specify the details of that system and various other properties
Assign the aliases and then test the connectivity. <<<
I do not know which are the system details and other properties that need to be defined to get the connection test passed. I am very new to portal and I need your advise and guidance.
Please help.
Thanks and regards
