Diff between regular portal page and content area page?

Hi.
I have a content area page. Because I thought it would be nice to have "Edit Page" link on the page, I created a new portal page (yes, a portal page vs. a content area page).
I created 2 regions.
Region 1, portlet nav bar portlet from my content area.
Region 2, root folder from my content area
When I use the page, clicking on anything in the nav bar portlet takes me to a new page (my content area page), instead of updating the folder portlet on my new portal page.
Is this by design?
What the difference between a portal page and a content area folder?
Thanks a bunch!
Phillip

Phillip,
The two are indeed subtly different. The experts are on the content area forum but basically a content area page is designed to automatically provide easy navigation within a content area. This includes automatically "doing the right thing" for the navbar portlets.
Note the links on the navbar portlet and their respective targets. They always target the content area page so that the navigation in a content area is seamless (i.e. the middle region updates w/ the current folder).

  • No "presence" Attribute for Master Pages or Content Areas?

    Is it true that there isn't a .presence attribute for master pages and content areas?  I have a form with multiple master pages, and based on certain criteria, I'd like to not display the master page.
    This master page has 1 content areas.  One is a header area.  The rest of the page is content area 2.  It is blank.  I have a conditional breakpoint that sends line items from a table to content area 2 if I have more than 7 line items.
    If I have 7 or fewer line items, I'd like to hide this master page, but LiveCycle doesn't seem to think you should ever hide an entire master page.  If I could hide the top content area, then at least the page would print blank.
    I can't wrap content areas in subforms.  If I could do that, then I could hide the subform.
    Thanks!!

    My problem is I have page 1 with fields in the header, then there are line items attached to a database table.  There could be 1 line item or 200.  I can print up to 7 line items on the first page and then a footer must appear on just page 1.
    If there are more than 7 line items, I continue to another page.  I have to have a bunch of header fields at the top of this continuation page.  The line items continue under this.  If another continuation page is needed, then the header info appears at the top and then the line items continue.  This goes on until all line items are displayed.
    I have to use a conditional breakpoint in this line item table so I can tell it to go to a content area under the header on the continuation page.  I can't have the line items continue at the top of a page because I need that header.
    I define the content area under the content area for the header on the continuation page.  I have only been able to define content areas on master pages.
    I have more than 1 master page.  Page 1 and the final page are on 1 master page and they must always print.  The line item continuation page is another master page with 2 content areas (header and line item continuation).
    If I have 7 or fewer line items, the continuation page is not needed.  I need to be able to hide or display this page dynamically based on the number of line items from the database.
    I can show some examples when I get back to work.
    Thanks!

  • Difference between content area page and page

    Can someone point me to doc or tell me what is the difference
    between content area page created in Content Area Manager and
    the page created in create page tool ?
    I'm really confused.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Maggie

    Essentially they're the same.
    The CA page get's implicitly created when you create the CA
    because architecturally when we display content for you to work
    with we need a place to post the navigator portlet and the
    content portlet.
    In the next release this will change, there will be only one
    type of page, and you will be able to add content and/or
    portlets to it.

  • Difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.

    Hi Experts,
    What is the difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.
    Thanks,
    Jay.

    Hi,
    The PDK provides two methods for creating a portal component:
    Abstract Portal Component
    The Abstract Portal Component class offers a lean method for writing HTML commands to the Web client as well as for basic event handling. It is an implementation of the IPortalComponent, which is the central abstraction of the Portal Component API.
    DynPage
    The Page Processor Component, which extends the Abstract Portal Component, returns a DynPage. It provides more sophisticated event handling. Controls that produce events (such as buttons and checkboxes) have an event attribute that contains the name of the event handling method. This event handling method is invoked by the DynPage when it occurs.
    The JSPDynPage is an implementation of the DynPage and allows the use of the DynPage in combination with JSP (Java Server Pages).
    The PDK documentation and examples focus on the DynPage. Easier event handling and the separatation of content development (JSP) from application development (Java) make the DynPage a better choice for components with interaction and changing content.
    For more details, Refer thes thread,

  • Synchronization of Categories/Perspectives between Respository and Content Area

    We are currently running a Oracle Database of 8.1.7.1 and Oracle Portal version 3.0.9.8.3a. Our problem is that when we place a folder that has been put into a category in a Content Area we have created, it does not show up in the Portal Repository in the same category. The Portal Repository always shows the folders as being in the General Category, not the specific one we created.
    The Categories were created in shared objects, so every Content Area we create can see those categories. Is there something we need to do to have the categories syncronize so we don't have to put the folders we publish as a porlet into categories in both places?
    Also, are using the Portal Repository incorrectly? Since we can not make a folder publish as portlet within the portal reposity, we do everything in our own Content Areas and then the Portal Reposity shows those items under our section in the list. Is there something we install incorrectly or not using right?

  • Alternatives to content area pages? URGENT!!

    Hi...
    I am implementing a site in Portal with a static navbar on the
    left side with links to folders... this navbar will remain
    static, the content that changes is in the rigth side..
    If I make a new page from scratch, including the navbar and the
    content area as portlets, when I click on a link on the left,
    the page banner and the other portlets disappear, and appears
    the content area page..... I read that the only way you can keep
    that page appearance is to customize the content area page
    itself.
    Are there any other ways to do this? (not depending of the
    content area page??)
    Please, I need help ASAP!!

    Not in the current release. The next release of Portal, planned
    for early 2002, will make this a lot easier.

  • Diff between at line selection and HIDE technique

    hi all,
           wht is the diff between at-line-selection and HIDE technique.
            wht r code instructor
            wht is extended testing
            how can we find selected error records in session                          method ex:-if there r errors in 4th 9th 13th record.
    tthnx in advance

    HIDE
    Syntax
    HIDE dobj.
    Effect
    This statement stores - in the current list level - the content of the variable dobj together with the current list line whose line number is contained in sy-linno. The data type of the variables dobj must be flat and no field symbols can be specified that point to rows of internal tables, and no class attributes can be specified. The stored values can be read as follows:
    For each user action in a displayed screen list that leads to a list result, all the row values stored using HIDE - that is, the row on which the screen cursor is positioned at the time of the event - are assigned to the respective variables.
    If a list row of an arbitrary list level is read or modified using the statements READ LINE or MODIFY LINE, all the values of this row stored using HIDE are assigned to the respective variables.
    Notes
    The HIDE statement works independently of whether the list cursor was set. In particular, variables for empty list rows can be stored - that is, rows in which the list cursor was positioned using statements like SKIP.
    The HIDE statement should be executed immediately at the statement that has set the list cursor in the row.
    Outside of classes, constants and literals that cannot be read in list results and in the statement READ LINE can be specified for dobj outside of classes.
    Example
    Storing square numbers and cubic numbers for a list of numbers. The example shows that arbitrary variables can be stored independently of row content. In the real situation, one would more likely store only the number and execute the calculation, when required, in the the event block for AT LINE-SELECTION.
    REPORT ...
    DATA: square TYPE i,
          cube   TYPE i.
    START-OF-SELECTION.
      FORMAT HOTSPOT.
      DO 10 TIMES.
        square = sy-index ** 2.
        cube   = sy-index ** 3.
        WRITE / sy-index.
        HIDE: square, cube.
      ENDDO.
    AT LINE-SELECTION.
      WRITE: square, cube.
    AT LINE-SELECTION
    Syntax
    AT LINE-SELECTION.
    Effect
    This statement defines an event block whose event is triggered by the ABAP runtime environment during the display of a screen list - provided the scren cursor is on a list line and you select a function using the function code PICK. Through the definition of this event block, the standard list status is automatically enhanced in such a way that the function code F2 and, with it, the double-click mouse function is linked up to the function code PICK.
    Note
    If the function key F2 is linked with a function code different than PICK, each double click will trigger its even, usually AT USER-COMMAND, and not AT LINE-SELECTION.
    Example
    This program works with the standard list status. A line selection with the left mouse key causes the event AT LINE-SELECTION and creates details lists.
    REPORT demo_at_line_selection.
    START-OF-SELECTION.
      WRITE 'Click me!' COLOR = 5 HOTSPOT.
    AT LINE-SELECTION.
      WRITE: / 'You clicked list', sy-listi,
             / 'You are on list',  sy-lsind.
      IF sy-lsind < 20.
        SKIP.
        WRITE: 'More ...' COLOR = 5 HOTSPOT.
      ENDIF.
    Thanks,

  • Diff between R/3 ECC5 and ECC6

    Dear All,
               Can someone please enlighten me about the diff between R/3 ECC5 and ECC6?
    Thanks,
    Ashish

    May be there are lot of differences but broadly:
    the Inclusion of Netweaver Components happened from 4.t to ECC5.0 and ECC 6.0
    In ECC 5.0 the component versions of netweaver are of different versions but in ECC6.0 all componet versions of netweaver are same and latest.
    Unicode is another important thing for ECC6.0 and 5.0
    AP ECC 5.0 is part of SAP ERP 2004---- which runs on SAP NetWeaver 2004
    SAP ECC 6.0 is part of SAP ERP 2005 (mySAP 2005)--- runs on SAP NetWeaver 2004S
    Main difference is application components and availability of new features.
    for new features/changes in core modules like FI, MM etc.. e.g GL function is new in ECC 6.0..

    Harish,
    What are you trying to do?
    Are you using an unstructured UI template on your other pages, with release 3.0.8?
    If you are, you could put your presentation code in a stored procedure, and call the procedure within ORACLE tags from the template. For the CA page, call the procedure from a Dynamic Page, and display the Dynamic Page as a portlet on the CA page.
    In a future release we'll be combining portal and CA pages into a single entity, so we won't have these inconsistencies.

  • Diff between LIS,LO,COPA and Genric extarctions.

    HI,
    Can anyone brief me the diff between LIS,LO,COPA and Genric extarctions.

    Hi,
    LIS:
    The Logistics Information System (LIS) is a data warehouse used for reporting in all of the application areas in Logistics (LO).
    Typically, the data stored in the LIS is an aggregated subset of the data stored for your transactions. For example, you would not usually find the full information stored with all sales order documents. Instead, you would find key field values such as order quantities, total order costs, and item costs. These values could also be stored according to business entities such as sales organization, distribution channel, division, and sold-to party. Similarly, the document detail for all material movements is typically not stored, but the aggregated stock quantities and values are stored based on plant and material.
    COPA:
    Profitability Analysis (PA) is an integrated component in the SAP R/3 system.
    All of the data related to profitability from the other SAP R/3 applications is mapped in CO-PA in accordance with the corresponding business transactions.
    This allows you to transfer into CO-PA billing document data from SD, cost object costs from CO-PC, and overall costs from overall cost controlling.
    CO-PA collects all of the OLTP data for calculating contribution margins (sales, cost of sales, overhead costs)
    CO-PA also has powerful reporting tools and planning functions
    Generic Extractors:
    When should you use generic extractors?
    Business Content does not contain a DataSource for your application.
    The application does not feature its own generic delta extraction method
    You are using your own programs in SAP R/3 to populate the tables
    The tools for generic data extraction can be used to generate an extractor for all applications.

    hi,
    Physical inventory number
    Specify a number or name under which several inventory documents can be grouped together for improved processing
    Reference Number for Physical Inventory
    Specify the number of a document outside the system that relates to an inventory transaction.
    means if you are using MI01 then you have to maintain the data in mi04  . but you are using mi09 no need to maintain the datad directly you are go through with mi07 for posting the differences.
    thanking you.

  • Portlets on Content Area Page

    We are currently using 3.0.8 and are trying to add a footer region to the content area page. So the page has a header in the top region, a navbar and folder portlet in the middle region, and a footer in the bottom region.
    When we put the footer in the bottom region on the content area page, it does not show up. If we move it to the middle region directly below the folder portlet, it shows up fine.
    Has anyone else seen this behavior, any workaround?

    We tried creating a page with only the folder portlet on it for the content area and trying to put another portlet below it. This still gives the same behavior.
    We also tried it in 3.0.9 and did not see the problem there.

    Hi Lisa,
    I actually had to make the form work today, so unfortunately, I had to start over and not move any part around to make sure I didn't get the blank second page.
