Different Languages in URL-iView in EP7 SPS11

Hi there,
we create some URL-iViews and want to implement some other URL´s for different languages. But there is a problem:
SAPPortal knows only English, German, French , Internet Explorer 6 and 7 knows different languages for German, English etc.
English
Portal , IE6 ,[EN-US],[EN-AU]
German
Portal , IE6 ,
etc.
Problem is, that different users in UK or USA can´t get different URL´s, because portal only knows the languagecode but not the extensions
Does anybody know,how to patch this bug, or SAP knows his bug?
Best regards
Christian

Problem while creating URL iview (in EP7.0)

Hi,
I encountered a problem while creating URL iview (in EP7.0) as when I selected the iview template for creating the URL iview, the content area got displayed as
"No templates to display. You are not assigned to any existing templates."
please assist me in this regard.
Thanks,
Suri

Hi Manoj,
Thank you for your reply.
I am still getting the same messages even after creating the iview template in EP7.0
Created through:
content Admin --> portal content --> <folder>new --> iview --> seleting "Portal component - create an iView from a portal component contained in a deployed portal archive (PAR file)" <next> --> seleting "com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap" <next> --> webdynpro <next> --> finish.
Open object for editing...--> Object is a Template to Yes.
Result :
content Admin --> portal content --> <folder>new --> iview --> seleting "iview template- create an iView from an existing iView template" <next> which displays the same message.
"No templates to display. You are not assigned to any existing templates."

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.

Multi-language with URL-iViews

hi folks,
I have the following little problem:
Our EP is mostly based on URL-iViews to static HTML-sites in german. Now, we are planning to extend the EP with an english Version. The Users should see the portal in the language they choose in the portal personalization menu.
My first thought was to use the portal-content-translation but this doesn't work for URL-iViews, as there is almost no text to be translated.
Now, my idea is to put a little script between the portal and the HTML-sites that checks the chosen language and redirects the user to the specific version.
The Problem is, I have no idea how to do that.
It would be really nice if anyone could tell me how to do this or maybe you have a better solution for my problem.
Thank you in advance for your efforts.
Kind regards
Norbert

Hello Michael,
unfortunately that doesn't work.
If I put an URI like http://yourcontentserver.com/<request.language>/content1.html
in the URI file of the URL-iView Editor and after that on preview I get the following error: page could not be found
When I use a PHP-Script to catch the variable like http://yourcontentserver.com/index.php?lang=<request.language>
I can't put it like that in the URI field cause I can't save it.
When I use the URL-parameter fields and enter "lang" and "<Request.Language>" I get the following URL as an result:
http://yourcontentserver.com/index.php?lang=%3CRequest.Language%3E
As you can see, the variable isn't "translated".
Maybe you could I didn't understand you right?

EP7 SP11 new behavior with url iview launching external apps

We have a simple URL iView that we deployed to open Lotus Notes (notes:///bookmark.nsf). When we use this in EP7 SP10 it launches the external Notes client on the end user's PC and leaves the navigation area of the portal blank white.
When we launch the same URL iView in EP7 SP11, we get an error page in the navigation window that says:
     Navigation to the webpage was canceled
     What you can try:
      - Retype the address.
The Notes client still launches, but we'd like to get rid of this new error page that the support pack stack brought us.... Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks!
Rich

Hi,
Using the url in IE works fine. It seems to work everywhere but in the portal menu.
I have the appintegrator in the back of my mind, and will start to have a look at it. We are also considering a OSS message - this must be a bug in the system as far as I can see.

Language specific urls in EP6

Hi all,
i was trying to implement language specific URL iview using the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/44/aabd5c7e8e0a47e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
however this link is for EP7.
Can anybody tell how can I implement the same in EP6.

Hi Juhi,
   Alternate is..   Check the SAP NOTE- 961793. Which says...
Symptom
Adding Language-Specific URLs
Other terms
EP6.0, NW04, SP18, URL iView, Language-Specific
Reason and Prerequisites
URL iView new feature: Adding Language-Specific URLs
Solution
As from NW04 SP18, URL iView presents a new feature: Language-Specific URLs. The new feature enables you to define more than one source URL for any URL iView. Apart from the default URL, which is not language-specific, you can define any number of additional URLs; each one corresponding to a different language. If a portal user's language matches a language defined in the iView, then the corresponding language-specific URL will be executed at runtime. If a portal user's language does not matches a language defined in the iView, then the default URL will be executed.

Url iview for anonymous user

Hi
We have an url iview with two Language-specific URLs (en and es) and a default URL. This iview is in anonymour portal page.
The first time that an anonymous user accees to /irj/portal/anonymous the url iview shows the default url instead of the en URL. Browser lengauge is EN.
How can i solve this??
Thanks

Hi,
There are two condition for the URL Language-specific :
1. You must first create the URL iView and then use the editor to use this
feature. It is not available in the URL iView Wizard.
2. You cannot apply a different look and feel to language-specific URLs.
iView content will be displayed at runtime in its native format as defined in
the source Web page. For more information, see the Keep
source formatting option in Defining the Look and Feel of the iView Content.
The remaining look and feel rendering option are supported by the default URL only.
In addition there is an option to check the service configuration of the Language-specific :
com.sap.portal.admin.wizardframework:
edit the SourceLocales field check that the requested Language is defined and if not you can add it
( Follow note# 1078145 )
After doing so , please restart the service , and check the results.
If the problem still exist let me know and we can have further investigation.

Dynamic URL Iview

Hi
We need to show language specific content to the user logged in. We have different URL for each language.
We are using URL iviews in portal.
If a Arabic user logs into portal I want him to see the Arabic page by default. If a English user logs on I want him to see the English page by default.
I wanted to know whether it is possible to change the URL dynamically depending on the user profile.
Rgds
NagaKishore V

Hi
My req is
We are using url iviews for in portal. We have web pages for different languages. Req. is when a user with Arabic as language preference logs in he should see the web pages in Arabic. If the user preference is Japanese he should see Japanese pages. We dont want to maintain mulitiple iviews for each language. The webpage urls are in this format
For englisj ;-- www.xxx.com/yyy/en
for japanese - www.xxx.com/yyy/jp
for arabic - www.xxx.com/yyy/ar
Since only the last 2 characters are differeent and rest of the url is same, Is there is a way where we can create 1 iview and depending on the user preference he is navigated to that page.

SSO to BW reports via URL iView

Hi all,
I've searched the forum on this but could not get a clear guide. Here's my scenario:
1. We use Windows logon credentials to sign on to the Enterprise Portal
2. Once signed in, authorized users load a URL iView.
3. The iView contains URL links to SAP BW reports.
4. Based on user's role, they can access only certain reports.(Available report URLs will be different)
5. User clicks on the link and opens another Internet Explorer window to show the BW report <b>without signing on</b> again.
Key question: How do we incorporate the SAP Logon Ticket into the URL and how do we configure BW server to accept SSO based on this URL?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Kok,
The first step is you need to create a system object under system administration --> system configuration --> system landscape. Expand the portal_content. Right click the folder and create a new folder. Then right click on the folder to create a new system. This system object should point towards the BW system. You need to give the details of the BW server. The right click the system object and create an alias.
If you are using BW 3.5, you need to follow the 13 steps given under img. If BW version < 3.5 then you have to export the portal ticket to BW and BW ticket to EP.

Problem with JavaScript in URL iView

Hi,
I am facing a problem with javascript when i am trying to access my application through URL iView. In the javascript window.top is used to access the frames in the window. But the EP is not recognizing it as valid. what exctly the problem and please suggest me a solution.
Ashok.

Hi,,
thanks for the quick reply. But what i asked was different. I will put it in different way. I have deployed a application in Web Application Server and trying to access it through URL iView. My application is pure J2EE application with html,jsp and JS files. In javascript we used window.top property of the java script which is working fine MS IE. The problem is window.top is a IE specific property which is not having any equallent open standerd so EP is throwing a java script error. As I know the only possible solution for this problem is inherating IE rendaring capabilities to iView(i.e iFrame). is there any way to do that?

Open web page from URL iview in maximized window

Hi,
I would like to open a web page in a <b>maximized</b> browser window, using an URL iView.
I know how to open a window in a separate window, I just can't get it maximized.
N.B. I do <b>NOT</b> want to open in <b>fullscreen</b> mode, i.e. I want a title bar and menus.
Does anyone know how to do it?
I tried to play around with the "window function" property of the iView, but no luck so far. I can't specify a fixed width and height of the target window at design time, as these values may vary at runtime.
regards
Lothar

Hi Lothar,
Yes, That will require Java Coding, Its true. Basically what the problem here is that to maximize we are trying to fetch the Screen resolution dynamically through Portal that Portal is not allowing us. Thats why I feel that we should go for Java Programing, Create a Par, Deploy it in the server and then create iView for that.
For Creating the Abstract Portal Component for Opening a Maximized Window You should do following steps.
1. Open Your NWDS
2. Create a project ie Portal Application
3. Create Portal Object ie Abstract Portal Component.
Now here is the piece of code that may help you
          response.write("<SCRIPT language=javascript>");
          response.write("function onOpenWindow()");
          response.write("{");
          response.write("window.open('http://abc.com','windowName','width=screen.availWidth,height=screen.availHeight,resizable=yes')");
          response.write("}");
          response.write("</SCRIPT>");
          response.write("<a href = \"javascript:onOpenWindow()\">abc.com</a>");
Paste this code in doContent...
I think it may help you
Thanx & Regards

Difference: SAP BW Report iview - Query iView - URL iView

Hi,
I want to show BW reports on the portal. Can anybody suggest me the different ways of doing it ? And also let me know about checklist of steps that need to be performed.
Can anybody tell me the difference between showing BW reports through URL iviews, showing reports through Query iView and showing reports through SAP BW Report iView ?
Which one can i use for showing BW reports taking into consideration the implementation of SSO between the two? I tried the URL iView (using the Web URL of reports generated by BW) but it asks for Username/password. Is that the problem with SSO. How can i check if SSO parameters have been set or not. I have imported the verify.der to BW System and added that to ACL. Is there anything else which is required?
Thanks in advance.
Rgds,
MA

Hi Manoj,
I feel BW report iview will solve your problem. You can create a query sting in BW query designer and give the same in BW query string text area while creating BW report iview.
In the case of an url iview you are just giving a URL link of the BW report (this will ask for username/password).
But, in the case of a BW report iview you can view the required query as an iview (user mapping can be successfully done in this case) You should give fully qualified domain name in Was server option while creating the system.
While using the logon ticket Login id of both the system (ie BW and Portal) should be the same.
Refer the link for SSO using logon ticket)

Client Eventing Problem with URL Iview

Hi,
I am new to EP and have a basic client eventing question. We are trying to integrate a URL Iview from a partner product with a standard Iview downloaded from Iviewstudio. This standard Iview is capable of handling client events from other Iviews in the standard package. We want to re-use this Iview with the same event (same functionality) to be able to handle events from the partner URL Iview.
The partner Iview and our portal are on different servers.
We are using the following Javascript but it doesnt seem to raise the event.
EPCM.storeClientData('urn:com.sap.bor:BUS0010','objid',LocId));
EPCM.storeClientData('urn:com.sap.bor:BUS0010','AllKeys','objid');
EPCM.raiseEvent('urn:com.sap.bor:BUS0010','select','','/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/...'
We were able to debug and find that the data was being stored in the Data Bag. However the event is not being raised at all. It seems that it just gets stuck somewhere in the Raise event. We even put a javascript alert after the raise event but it doesnt seem to reach there at all.
Could you give me a few pointers as to what the problem might be.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
let's have a look at two quotes of the PDK documentation.
"Using the EPCF from your JavaScript, you can send messages to JavaScript code embedded in other iViews."
"Isolated iViews are iViews that are not inlined into a portal page, but referenced using an IFRAME. To make the EPCF available in such iViews, the EPCF JavaScript as well as the EPCF applet are included into each generated frame."
From my point of view, this only can work automatically with content provided by the portal.
Therefore, this can't work with isolated URL iViews generated with the wizards. Imagine a google iView, running in an iFrame. Google is called by the portal, but it's simply standard google HTML output - displayed in the portal.
To provide the capability of the EPCF, the epcf javascript file has to be included in the "partner URL iView"'s source. I tried this and it worked. However, this is not a highly sophisticated solution
If the partner iView's server is running in a different domain, there are further issues to be considered (keyword: java script origin policy)
If anybody has corrections or can provide a good solution, don't hesitate.

Logoff page in different languages - transaction SICF

Hi,
In transaction SICF i configured a Logoff page according to: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/fc/04a5421935c511e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
My logoff script works fine in the default language of my application. When I access my application in another language and want to logoff then my logoff script is not called. I have tried to maintain the service via the language button in SICF but without any luck.
Hope anyone can help.
Thanks,

Hi Holger,
Thanks. I have created URL iView using application integrator. In the step 2 of Iview creation wizard, I have selected Generic.
The entire list is
Choose Portal Component: *
     BSP
     BWReport
     ContentIntegrator
     CrystalReport
     DNRObject
     Generic
     IAC
     MiniApp
     RemoteRedirector
     TestIViewURLGenerator
     Transaction
     WebDynpro
After this, I have finished all steps of iView creation. When I am running iView, it is asking for some parameters. I am providing some URL and it is working fine.
In your email, you have asked me to configure the Application Integrator iViews. The parameter I have to use is <Request.Language>. I tried a lot to find this parameter. I can not find it any where in iView property. Can you please let me know where exactly I have to alter value for language.
Few more question - How the iView will work? When it will ask for language. Based on userid, I want to change the language of iView content. How it can be acheived?
Will URL iView will work for secured connection URLs like https://www.somename.com:50000/irj/portal.
Whether NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS) will be needed for carrying out this exercise? We don't have NWDS installed for our project.
Thanks
Stuart
