Developing a download centre in Portal

Hello guys,
I have an issue here. I am trying to use my KM as a source for downloading documents in my portal. I would like to know if anyone has done this. I have tried to use the KM document iview, but its not very effective.
Secondly, I want to remove the details button from the KM folders in the portal for end-users, how do I achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
Collins.

Hi,
If you dont want the features of the KM documents iview then you have to cerate your own application that reads the resourses from the KM.
In this you have to specify the root folder from which you need to start the browsing then according to your need you can create tree structure or links...
For creating a tree from KM the following link will be helpfull
Build Your Own KM Navigation iView Using HTMLB Tree
Hope this Helps

Announcing: Developing JSF Portlets with WebLogic Portal Whitepaper

Just Released: Developing JSF Portlets with WebLogic Portal Whitepaper
A supplemental developer's guide has been published to help guide WLP 10.x customers that wish to use JSF as the web framework for building portlets on WebLogic Portal. This is a sizable document (150 pages) that covers a large number of topics. It also coaches developers on best practices and common pitfalls.
Important: It also clarifies the supported configuration of JSF within Portal Web Projects. Workshop for WebLogic by default configures a web project in a configuration that is not supported by WebLogic Portal. The guide explains how to address this:
* Change from the unsupported MyFaces JSF implementation to the supported Sun Reference Implementation (RI)
* Change from the unsupported "client" STATE_SAVING_METHOD to the supported "server"
The guide can be downloaded here:

Hi Peter!
First, I wish to thank you for the great work.
We followed your whitepaper and managed to deploy a JSF portlet on WLS.
But we are not able to register it (consume it) as remote portlet in Oracle Portal 10.1.4. The error log is as follows:
An error occurred while trying to refresh the provider. (WWC-43190)
An error occurred during the call to the WSRP Provider:

Develop a download manager

i need to develop a download managing software which can
1)improve the speed of download
2)making downloading much more convenient
how can i proceed,what do i do

Well,
you can improve the speed of download with concurrent streams of data being downloaded, but such a solution is not always possible.
If you are developing both server and client side of download solution, i.e. for the update of a inhouse software solution you can make the servern and client multi-thread, and try to increase the download speed that way, by creating concurrent streams that download difrent chunks of data.
the only convinience that a downlaod manager should provide is the ability to pause/resume. any thing besides that is just fluf

How do i download com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak

I need to download com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak
From what i understand, If you have the System administration privilege then you can download the par file from "System Administration"==>"Support"==>"Support Desk"==>"Portal Runtime"==>"Browse deployment"==>"ROOT"==>"WEB-INF"==>"deployment"==>"pcd"
I was able to navigate this way. However, i cannot find this logon.par under this directory structure.
In help.sap.com, i was told to Navigate to <J2EE_Engine_Instance>\j2ee\cluster\server<X>\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\deployment\pcd .There you can find com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak.
How is this different from the earlier navigation? I don't know how to do this? How exactly do i navigate this way?

Sandeep
I am sure that in the follwoing path, u can find the
com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak
<b><J2EE_Engine_Instance>\j2ee\cluster\server<X>\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\deployment\pcd</b>
MAke a copy of the PAR and u can Pull it into the NetStudio !!!!
Thanks

Problem with file download in oracle portal:UnsupportedEncodingException

Hi,
I'm developing a struts application inside Oracle Portal, when i click on a
action link i need to download a file.
<pdk-struts-html:link action="/fileDownload2Action?file=myfile.txt">Click Here to See the PDF</pdk-struts-html:link>
i've tried to use org.apache.struts.actions.DownloadAction as follows:
public class MyExampleFileDownload extends DownloadAction{
protected StreamInfo getStreamInfo(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {
// File Name
String fileName = mapping.getParameter();
// Set the content disposition
response.setHeader("Content-disposition",
"attachment; filename=" + fileName);
// Download a "pdf" file - gets the file name from the
// Action Mapping's parameter
String contentType = "application/pdf";
File file = new File(fileName);
return new FileStreamInfo(contentType, file);
but on the forward i receive the following exception:
received IOException

Could you suggest me any alternative solution?

Download file from portal is too slow,why?

Hi all:
I created a hyperlink to download file on the portal and the file is in the portal. The file is dowloaded slowly by 1K~2K, but I used FTP to dowload the file by 300K ,Why? how to solve it?
please help!!!! THANKS!!!!

Hi Namrata,
You need to define the table field type as binary and develop and RFC with one i/p parameter of binary type.
UPload:
From front end you can browse and upload the file using file upload ui element then send the binary file to the RFC input.
Download:
Get the binary format file from rfc by passing ID as parameter and download it using IWDCachedWebResource.

Jdeveloper error on downloading resource from portal server from WC Spaces

Hi All,
I am basically from portal area and have now also started using jdeveloper. I have 11.1.1.7 version and am trying to use it for a roundtrip development for my Webcenter Spaces applications.
A problem has been baffling me for last several days. I installed jdeveloper studio edition, then installed updates for Webcenter extensions.
Then tried to configure it for a Roundtrip development with WC Spaces. So I followed the following document.
Extending the Spaces Application Using JDeveloper - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0)
In doing that I configured the default space application (designwebcenterspaces) and configured properties with the server.
Then I tried following this piece; i.e., downloading a spaces resource directly into jdeveloper.
Extending the Spaces Application Using JDeveloper - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0)
On trying to do it, I get a pop-up with following error and no specific application or space.
Exception getting resources:null
On my jdeveloper, I see this message accompanying it.
Jul 2, 2013 5:54:21 PM oracle.webcenter.portal.dt.propagation.rest.RESTClient getDocument
WARNING: null
Jul 2, 2013 5:55:21 PM oracle.webcenter.portal.dt.propagation.dialogs.DownloadPanel populateResourceNames
WARNING: Exception getting resources:null
Can someone please help me fix this problem?
Thanks a lot.

Recheck the below ones,
Be sure the configuration properties and permissions are set properly, as described in Section 55.3.3, "Enabling Direct Uploads to the Spaces Application." See also Section 55.2.3.2, "Setting Build and Deployment Options (config.properties)."
and make sure server is up and running

Issue about SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio download!

Hi, all
as mentioned in the topic , where can i get the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio installer package.
coz currently, i am studying Adobe interactive form.
thanks very much!

David,
You will need a Markeplace id to access the downloads section as mentioned by Arafat.
Ask your Basis guy to create one for you and then goto following path to download the NWDS:-
http://service.sap.com/swdc
--> Click on downloads
--> Support Packages and Patches
--> SAP NetWeaver
--> SAP NETWEAVER
--> SAP NETWEAVER 7.0
--> Entry by Component
--> Developer Studio
As far as I know there is no trial version NWDS but you can download complete NetWeaver 7.0 release from [here |https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60d6c8b7-5d8f-2910-31bf-ebdf74fefd8b] which contains the NWDS.

Need to download com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par

hello friends
we need to chang the look and feel of the portal display pages and for that purpose we need com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par file
can you all help us as to where we can find this par file so that we can download this file.
we have still not installed the portal platform,we'll be doing that in the following week.
Thnaking you,
Anurag.

Hi Anurag,
This post will explain the steps involved for each element.
No.      Portal Login page related questions
1.      What is the associated par file for portal login Page ?
2.      How to import the PAR file into Netweaver Developer Studio?
3.      What are the different pages and their associated files in logon.par?
4.      How to change text seen in the logon page ?
5.      What is authschemes.xml file? Do we need to change this file also ?
6.      How to remove standard links like support, Register ...?
7.      How to change or add new images ?
8.      How to change only the branding image displayed in the logon screen of the Portal ?
1. What is the associated par file for portal login Page?
Answer : The par file related to login page of Netweaver Portal is com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par. This is the standard
logon component containing the code and resources used by the logon screens is shipped in a portal archive (PAR) file named com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.
2. How to import the PAR file into Netweaver Developer Studio?
Answer :   - Select File>Import .
- Choose the option PAR file. Select Next and a popup window appears.
- Select File>Import .
- Choose the option PAR file. Select Next and a popup window appears.
- In the window you have 3 text fields:
The location of the par file,
Project name (same as new par file name, preferably) and
location for project to be saved
3. What are the different pages and their associated files in logon.par?
Answer :
Logon page : umLogonPage.jsp
Problem page : umLogonProblemPage.jsp
Help (PW reset) page : umHelpPage.jsp
Reset Password : umResetPasswordPage.jsp
Change Password Page: changePasswordPage.jsp
Certificate Logon : umLogonCertPage.jsp
4. How to change text seen in the logon page ?
The text seen on the logon page is not in the JSP page, but in properties files which are called by tags like the
Welcome text : <%=logonLocale.get("xtit_WELCOME")%>
In order to change "Welcome" to "Welcome to MyTravel" you have to :
           - Unzip the file umelogonbase.jar which you can find under dist\PORTAL-INF\lib
           - Find the file "logonLabels_" which contains your language;
                                       e.g. logonLabels_de.properties for german language, *_en for English etc.,
The default is in the file logonLabels.properties .
- Find the key which is used in the tag and change the text after the equal sign.
- Save the changed file and create a updated JAR file using a zip program. The file needs to be named exactly umelogonbase.jar
- Put the JAR file back to location - dist\PORTAL-INF\lib
You are done on this now.
5. What is authschemes.xml file ? Do we need to change this file also ?
Changing the Authschemes.xml file is required only if you want to change com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak file and point it to different par file. This is more for anonymous logon with named anonymous users and using anonymous as the authentication scheme. The anonymous users are not issued a SAP logon ticket.
6. How to remove standard links like support, Register ...?
The standard links are controlled with the UM settings
       - ume.logon.logon_help
- ume.logon.selfreg
You could also just comment out the lines if you want to hide.
7. How to change or add new images ?
To exchange the two images, which are by default on the logon page, do the following steps:
                      a. Copy the image(s) you want to use in your project in the the folder dist/layout
                      b. Find the < img src=""   > you want to work on in the umBotArea.txt
Change the src attribute in the img tag to src="<%=webpath + "layout/myPic.gif" %>". The webpath is already defined in the file logon_proxy.txt and ready to use. In the Netweaver portal 6.0 SP9 and higher you have 2 images on the right side.
8. How to change only the branding image displayed in the logon screen of the Portal ?
If you want to change only the branding image displayed in the logon screen, you can configure this using the user management property ume.logon.branding_image
Hope this helps the community in the launch of this ver 1.0, future versions could contain more changes and updations covering all other aspects of Netweaver Portal

Offline download document on Portal

Hi All
I am working on PMS module in EHP 6 environment. I have configured a template with the dynamic field ie. We have an "ADD new element attached as free enhancement in phap_catalog_pa (ADD button) in the template , which when clicked opens the four other elements in a row.And we can add multiple rows in the document. While doing offline download , the template gets downloaded in pdf and can be uploaded back once filled. Unless we click on add button , the offline download template do not displays the four elements.
can we give the add button access in the downloaded template. How can we get the multiple rows in the PDF downloaded as offline, PFA the format of the template.
We wanted to have this add button functionality available on portal in the offline download pdf format also. Please suggest.
Thanks
Smriti

Hey.
Adding an element with the free_enhancement is not foreseen offline. You can use a workaround but you'll have to develop it yourself in your custom Adobe Interactive Form

Can not open file download prompt in portal web app.

Hi folks,
I am migrating existing Struts app into portal web app and currently stuck on the following problem.
In existing app, Struts action calls servlet that generates excel file, sets response headers:
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=thename.csv");
that brings up "file download" prompt window.
In portal app, the same code writes excel file content into browser window instead of the prompt.
Has anyone had to deal with similar problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Alex.
Version of portal used is 8.1 SP5
Struts - 1.1

Problem is resolved. For those who might be interested - specifying redirect=true on forward to servlet did the trick.

Developer edition download licence needs changing

Hi,
Firstly thanks for making the developer / trial versions available. It is a great benefit to the ecosystem that new developers can test and improve their skill and even share that code with things like Codexchange.
Now here is the rub and people like SAP Legal, Mark F, Mark Y and Rui might be interested in this bit:
The 'developer version' available is mentioned on http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/nw-downloads
That page say on the 32 and 64 bit editions:
The Developer Edition allows individuals free of charge to test, evaluate, prototype and share add-on software code on code exchange
So we click through to
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/downloads?rid=/library/uuid/3042391e-f06c-2e10-e2a8-8d2e2a4e711e
and then to
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/index?rid=/webcontent/uuid/60ae136b-e66c-2e10-739f-bb82fa40292a
to actually download and the sub header says:
SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP 7.02 SP6 64-bit Developer Version
but the legal licence what we are obliged to agree to says:
Provided that you comply with all terms and conditions of this Evaluation License, SAP grants to you the following rights under this Evaluation License a non-exclusive, non-perpetual license to use the Software Product solely for purposes of testing and evaluation of the Software Product for the limited period specified below.
In fact the licence is identical to the licence used for the trial edition.
Nothing about a DEVELOPER version, nothing about CODE EXCHANGE and limited to 90 days.
If I was promised a developer version that I could use with code exchange I would expect this to be spelled out by the licence. I would also expect that the Developer version would NOT have to keep re-licencing every 90 days.
Could you please look into this and let us know your findings. <<Gamification text removed>>
Thanks,
Nigel

BTW... you quoted my last line which was intended to inject some levity in the situation but my whole point is about the licence that we must agree to to download this software. It promises 'Developer Edition' but does not deliver.

Best practices for a development/production scenario with ORACLE PORTAL 10G

Hi all,
we'd like to know what is the best approach for maintaining a dual development/production portal scenario. Specially important is the process of moving from dev. to prod. and what it implies in terms of portal availability in the production environment.
I suppose the best policy to achieve this is to have two portal instances and move content via transport sets. Am I right? Is there any specific documentation about dev/prod scenarios? Can anybody help with some experiences? We are a little afraid regarding transport sets, as we have heard some horror stories about them...
Thanks in advance and have a nice day.

It would be ok for a pair of pages and a template.
I meant transport sets failed for moving an entire pagegroup (about 100 pages, 1Gb of documents).
But if your need only deals with a few pages, I therefore would direclty developp on the production system : make a copy of the page, work on it, then change links.
Regards

Need help developing photo download page

I have a website for my daughter's high school band to
display the photos we take during band events. It is more of a
basic html table with 300x200 pixel images showing in 2 columns and
50 rows. We manually type the file name in the table cell (yes I
know its the hard way to do it, but it didn't take long to setup
either). Anyway, now I would like to have teh other band parents be
able to click on a check box for multiple images on a page and have
a download button at the bottom of the page. Then they can download
all the pictures. Except that I will also have on the site in a
different folder path but still following the same names and this
other would have the full size version (8 megapixel) of the image
and that is what the user would download - not the image in the
table cell.
Yes, I am aware that MySql files should be able to do this
but I have never developed a MySql file before nor a page
referencing it. All of mine have been with Access databases. The
current pages generally require a global search and replace for the
date that is the first part of the file name for the image and it
only takes baout 30 minutes fo me to update 7 pages of 50 photos.
Since this is volunteer work I would like to keep it quick and
easy.
Is there anyone who can help or point me to an online
tutorial or page example that I could draw from?
Thanks
George

I'm not sure this will work, but how about using javascript timer that is specified in the following link:
http://www.elated.com/articles/javascript-timers-with-settimeout-and-setinterval
Create a javascript function on your JSP page that when called, will do something like this:
function timeOutPage(){
setTimeout(timeOutPage(), 5000);
document.formName.submit();
}
