E-Commerce Portal

Hi all,
We need to implement an portal with e-commerce and i ask for all, what is the best architecture for this implementation?
We are thinking in use the Enterprise Portal with webdynpro for Java. what about this?
best regards,
Douglas

MY suggestion would be to use a Hardware Load Balancer to act as a reverse proxy to your Portal servers. This creates a more secure environment.
You can also use the sap web dispatcher, however, my preference is a separate hardware load balancer. One major advantage to this is that when using SSL, you can have the SSL termination do on the LB, and removing that stress from the actual portal servers.
Lookup the sap sizer tool if you are looking for memory and processor requirement for your portal servers.
Regards,
Tom

    Why can't you do
    class Destination
    private static Destination d = new Destination();
    public static Destination getDestination()
    return d;
    private Destination()
    public void otherMethods()
    Now your go between just calls.
    Destination.getDestination().otherMethods();

  • Many portals within one session?

    Hello,
    I have created three different portals which all need to authenticate
    the user. Is it possible to get those three portals to use just one
    login page, I mean that the user won't have to login more than once? How
    are the sessions handled in Weblogic Servers? In weblogic.properties
    file you define a sessioncomparator for every portal, for my portals I
    am using com.beasys.commerce.portal.admin.PortalSessionComparator, but
    Buy Beans example portal uses
    com.beasys.commerce.axiom.jsp.DefaultSessionComparator, what is the
    difference between these two classes? Allow autologin between browser
    sessions can't be used.
    I am using Weblogic 5.1 and Personalization Server 2.0.1 with Commerce
    Server.

    Hi Ture
    I encounter the same problem for keeping login session across portals
    In your example, your invoke the method
    putSessionValue( SERVICMANAGER_USER, userLogin, request );
    Would you please tell me, how can I get the value of userLogin
    Thanks

    Hello Maarit,

    login page, I mean that the user won't have to login more than once?
    How
    are the sessions handled in Weblogic Servers?Yes. You can navigate from portal to portal while maintaining the
    logged-in state of your user. You can do this by setting the
    "TRAFFIC.URI" request attribute equal to the URI of the portal you
    want to go to and then use the PortalJspBase.putSessionValue( ) method
    to put user and destination information into the session. Then you
    could use the PortalJspBase.setLoggedIn( ) method to set the logged-in
    status for the user in the new portal (also in the session) because
    now when you set session values with methods of PortalJspBase, they
    will be fixed up using the URI of the portal you will be going to.
    Therefore, the setLoggedIn( ) method works like it were invoked from
    the portal you will be going to. Then you could direct a request to
    the other portal.
    The PortalJspBase.putSessionValue( ) method "fixes up" the keys of
    the stored values by prepending a string that uniquely identifies the
    portal (made using the TRAFFIC.URI attribute) to avoid naming
    collisions (see javadoc at
    http://e-docs.bea.com/wlcs/javadoc/p13n/index.html ).
    Below is an example I got from someone who implemented such a
    solution (I have not tested it). They did not put values in the
    session for SERVICEMANAGER_SUCCESSOR or
    IMMUTABLE_SERVICE_MANAGER_HOME_PAGE, but they could have.
    Make your first JSP page extend PortalJspBase and do something
    like this (note that the constants that I have not declared come from
    interfaces that are implemented by PortalJspBase (see javadoc):
    <%! // Declaration
    public static final String MY_PORTAL_NAME = "MyPortal"; // portalname
    public static final String MY_PORTAL_URI = "/myportal"; // servlet name
    public static final String MY_PORTAL_DIR = "/myportal"; // workingdir
    %>
    <%
    // Get MyPortal
    String workingDir = MY_PORTAL_DIR;
    String thePage = getPortalManager(request)
    .getPortalFor(MY_PORTAL_NAME).getContentURL();
    // Set user and destination stuff
    request.setAttribute(TRAFFIC_URI, MY_PORTAL_URI);
    putSessionValue( SERVICMANAGER_USER, userLogin, request );
    putSessionValue( PORTAL_NAME, MY_PORTAL_NAME, request );
    putSessionValue( SERVICEMANAGER_HOME_PAGE, thePage, request );
    // Log in the user
    setLoggedIn(request, response, true);
    // Go there
    response.sendRedirect(getTrafficURI(request));
    %>
    In weblogic.properties
    file you define a sessioncomparator for every portal, for my portals
    I
    am using com.beasys.commerce.portal.admin.PortalSessionComparator,
    but
    Buy Beans example portal uses
    com.beasys.commerce.axiom.jsp.DefaultSessionComparator, what is the
    difference between these two classes?The <pt:monitorsession> tag uses a SessionComparator to see if the
    session is valid, and it can be used to disallow access to a page (see
    docs at http://e-docs.bea.com/wlcs/p13ndev/jsptags.htm#1024804
    You specify the SessionComparator that you want to register with your
    portal or personalized application in weblogic.properties with the
    sessioncomparator argument.
    The PortalSessionComparator and DefaultSessionComparator both
    implement the SessionComparator interface, which defines a single
    method, isValid( ) (see javadoc at
    http://e-docs.bea.com/wlcs/javadoc/p13n/index.html ) The
    DefaultSessionComparator class returns true for the isValid( ) method.
    The PortalSessionComparator additionally implements the
    PortalAdminConstants interface and checks session attributes to make
    sure that the minimum attributes are present for proper operation of
    the PortalServiceManager servlet. If you want to add requirements for
    a valid portal session, say that the "PREFERRED_CUSTOMER" attribute
    must be present and the value must be "true", then you would just
    extend PortalSessionComparator and register your new sessioncomparator
    argument in weblogic.properties.
    Notice that BuyBeans example portal does NOT use the
    DefaultSessionComparator. It uses the PortalSessionComparator. The
    BuyBeans demo has an example personalized application that is not a
    portal (registered as "/mpbb" with the JspServiceManager servlet)
    which is used to access an example portal (registered as "/mybuybeans"
    with the PortalServiceManager). The personalized application that is
    not a portal ("/mpbb") uses the DefaultSessionComparator.
    Good luck.

  • Flow management with portals

    Hi all,
    I work with flow control in the WLPS and have some problem.
    I am able to invoke unportalized JSP from a pipelet but cann't manage to
    return back to the portal home page.
    To invoke an unportalized JSP I use the following sequense in the
    webflow.properties:
    agentsMgr.jsp.link(agentNew)=portals/myPortal/agentNew.jsp
    where agentsMgr.jsp is a portlet and agentNew.jsp is a particular JSP.
    Now I would like to return back to the portal home page.
    I tried to use the following code:
    in JSP:
    WebflowJSPHelper.createWebflowURL(pageContext,"agentsNew.jsp","link(portalHome)",true)
    in webflow.properties: *
    .jsp.link(portalHome)=portals/myPortal/portal.jsp
    and got an exception.
    I changed approach and used
    in JSP:
    WebflowJSPHelper.createWebflowURL(pageContext,"agentsNew.jsp","link(portalHome)","&portalized=true&dest="+getHomePage(request),
    true)
    in webflow.properties: nothing
    and the result was the same.
    I noticed that getHomePage(request) always retrives null although I have
    used <%@ page extends="com.beasys.commerce.portal.admin.PortalJspBase"%>
    Any pointers about using flow management with portals would be greatly
    appreciated.

    Are you trying to build an interaction system within OBIEE? If that is the case, then OBI might not be an ideal tool as it is a Business Intelligence reporting tool.

  • Redirect service from http to https, session is lost

    I have setup two web sites using NT 4.0 IIS so that both
              "http://nossl/mybeanbeans" and "https://ssltest/mybeanbeans"
              can execute the commerce server mybuybeans example.
              Then I modify the shoppingCartDetail.jsp and commandAssembler.jsp
              (files attached) hoping that when I click the "Checkout" button
              on the Shopping Cart screen, it will redirect the service from
              http to https.
              The URL is redirected to "https" but it depicts the welcome page
              instead of showing the Order Check Out page.
              Previous session information is lost.
              Can anyone help me?

    the problem is when the cookie is exchanged between the browser
              and the app server IE treats request coming from http://bc.com:7001
              and http://bc.com:7002 as one and the same : so the browser maintains
              the same session but netscape treats this as responses coming from two
              different servers and hence u lost the session.
              I assume u are having this problem with netscape and not IE.
              the solution is set this property in the weblogic.properties file
              weblogic.httpd.session.cookie.domain=.bc.com

  • Page extends vs page import

              On the terminology extends vs import:- First, your jsp is basically a
              servlet. Whether your servlet is a kind of another class (extends) or
              use (import) another class is up your requirement.
              In your case, in theory, it shouldn't make a difference. Why? Because
              PortalJspBase is like a utility "Singleton" class (seemed like most of
              the functions and variables are static)! Deriving this class would
              possibly save some coding effort. However, since you are making a
              portlet (aren't you?), making it to be a "kind-of" weblogic portlet
              means that you must derive (or in the Java world, extend) from the
              above.
              Only my 2 cents worth.
              Regards

  • DMS and billing

    Hi,
    Any one has idea on how to provide billing services for Cisco DMS solutions ( video portal ) users.
    Regards

    I've looked at this and I don't think its doable with the video portal in its current version. I take it you are trying to sale content through your video portal. The DMS system definitely doesn't support this. There is no hierarchial permissioning of content and no way to have an e-commerce portal launch when a video is clicked before it begins playing. I don't think it is on the roadmap either.
    Sorry.
    Check out Accordent Technologies Media Manger it will do it easily.

  • Personalization Server Framework files

    Hi,
    I am using the framework files that comes with BEA Personalization Server
    (i.e. header.jsp, error. jsp, etc.). I am hoping it will give me a jump
    start
    in developing the web site.
    I am going through the code to understand what it is doing. I am stuck
    with one thing in a file called header.jsp.
    <%@ page import="com.beasys.commerce.portal.tags.PortalTagConstants" %>
    <% String HEADER_FORWARD = "HEADER_FORWARD"; %>
    I am trying to figure out what "HEADER_FORWARD" does. I tried
    to find out if this constant is declared in the Javadoc API, but yet
    I can't find documentation on "PortalTagConstants"
    Any help is appreciated... Thank you
    Teddy

    Hello,
    The personilization server does seem to lack documentation, as for the tags,
    the descriptions given are minimal.
    I normally look at the use of the tags in the buy beans examples and try to
    replicate what I believe the tags are doing in my own test portal. So far I
    have had a fair amount of success. If you need any help regarding tag use
    please feel free to post your questions to me but I can't garantee detailed
    responses to general questions.
    best regards hoos.

    Hi,
    I have gone through user guide tag documentation. It doesn't
    get that much detail. All it says about the framework files is
    one or two sentences for each file (e.g. portal.jsp file
    is the default file for the portal)
    Is there more documentation on it such as a flow chart
    of how the code works?

    Hello,
    it looks like the jsp tags use this attribute to forward the user to the
    correct page when they select a button like "home" from the header.

  • Upgrade Plan - Web Shop - NWDI

    Hi Experts,
    My customer has planned to upgrade their portal from version 7.01 to 7.02 SPS4. They have four environments namely Dev, Quality, Acceptance & Production. They plan to upgrade Dev first, followed by Acceptance & then Production. (Quality is kept as it is for incident mitigation till Production is patched)
    The portal is effectively an e-commerce portal which has both portal components & Web shop deployed on it. The Web Shop code is hosted on NWDI which is configured to build the Dev server once the code is checked in.
    Now these are my questions:
    1. Lets say that while Dev is being upgraded, we need to fix a critical incident involving web shop code. Can we configure NWDI to build Quality rather than Dev. The current setup is that transports need to be done sequentially i.e. D->Q->A->P.
    And even if build fails in Quality, can i directly configure NWDI to point to production and do the build there?
    2. Is it possible to register the same instance multiple times (say quality instance)under 'target instance'. Will this help me at all?
    Regards,
    Ramanathan Palaniappan

    Hi Ramanathan,
    First of all let me make one thing clear.
    No matter how many Runtime systems you have in your landscape (In your case D->Q->A->P), your NWDI usage type or instance, whether it is hosted on your Development Server or some different host separately is common across these systems.
    To give you more clarity you need to understand the following concepts.
    1) Your Landscape consists D->Q->A->P.
    2) Here, lets assume that NWDI is running on your Development Server D.
    3) That means all the 3 pillars (DTR, CBS & CMS) of NWDI are present in Dev host.
    4) Now, Suppose are maintaining a Track named "Track-A"
    5) Whatever developments that are carried out (Source Code Modification) specific to "Track-A" are available in the DTR-Server present Dev Host only.
    6) So, the Build process is also specific to Development Host ONLY
    7) You cannot use terms like "Can we configure NWDI to build Quality rather than Dev", it simply doesn't make sense.
    OK, so far so good.
    Lets move further ahead.
    There's a big difference between Build process and Deploy Process.
    1) When you create a Track, you need to define the Runtime Systems of your Track.
    2) When you define runtime systems, your purpose is to provide information to the CMS about--> to which all systems you will be DEPLOYING your Compiled Source Code (Which is in the form .SCA that is created as an output in Assembly step) 
    3) Build Process as explained above happens only on Development Host in Development Buildspace and Consolidation Buildspace of your Track.
    You can also refer to the thread where i have explains step-by-step process about what happens under the hood in NWDI
    Re: Comparing records in Update Rules
    Now, if you meant to configure NWDI to point Quality rather than Dev in terms of Deployment only then Yes, It is very much possible.
    Follow the below mentioned procedure...
    1) Open the CMS Web UI >> Landscape Configurator >> Track Data >> Runtime Systems
    2) Here, you can configure your runtime system as you wish.
    3) For Example if you want to skip the deployment into Quality and directly deploy in production then you can uncheck the "Test" from Selected Runtime Systems.
    After you modify the setting in Runtime systems in Landscape configurator, then relevant changes will be reflected in the Transport Studio of your track. Considering the above example The "Test" tab will not be available.
    I hope my inputs will help you resolve your query.
    Regards,
    Shreyas Pandya

  • API to find a Portlet from its name

    I need to find a Portlet knowing its own name and without any portal name.
    I could really find one from the documentation. Thus I looked for it in the
    JSP Tag Library Javadoc. But neither <es:portalManager> nor
    <es:portletManager> provide this. Finally I checked out add_portlets.jsp
    from the tools.war webapp (admin console), where I found
    com.beasys.commerce.portal.admin.jspbeans.PortalFinderJspBean (from WLPS
    Javadoc, "contains numerous finder methods that wrap many of the
    PortalManger APIs."). A method getPortletFor(String aPortletName) seemed to
    be exactly what I was looking for.
    First, I would like to be sure that it will be supported in following
    versions of WLPS. (as I did not find any doc about it)
    Secondly, as I now have some performance issues localized on this search
    task, I would like to be sure it is the most relevant API to do what I want.
    Regards.
    Yann

    Hello Yann,
    The PortalFinderJspBean wraps the methods of the PortalManager session bean.
    If you want to, you can use the PortalManager session bean directly.
    PortalManagerHome is not in the javadoc (there is an engineering change request
    to get it in), but it really does exist and you can get a PortalManager like
    this:
    PortalManagerHome pmh = (PortalManagerHome)
    JNDIHelper.getService(PortalManager.LOOKUP_NAME);
    PortalManager pm = pmh.create();
    The PortalManager is part of the public API, so it is as safe as anything, as
    far as future compatibility.
    If you ever have issues with performance, feel free to contact support with
    the details. Please open a support case at
    http://www.bea.com/support/index.jsp if you are still having a performance
    problem.

  • WLCS 3.1 portlets

    In the Administration tool, I have added a new portlet(JSP). Is there
    anyway that I can pass parameters into this JSP? I want to write one JSP
    that will access different parts of my application based on that parameter.
    thanks
    shane

    In the Administration tool, I have added a new portlet(JSP). Is there
    anyway that I can pass parameters into this JSP?Hello Shane,
    You can pass parameters into this JSP because it is included in the portal
    with a <jsp:include>. If you have a request parameter in a URL that requests
    your portal, then that request (and it's parameters) are seen by all of the
    portlets in the portal. You can look at portal.jsp to see that it uses a
    <jsp:include> for portalcontent.jsp, which loops through all of the portlets
    and does a <jsp:include> for portlet.jsp, which does a <jsp:include> for a
    portlet's header, content and footer.
    A <jsp:include> is a dynamic include, which means that the results of
    processing the request with the included resource are what is included.
    Here is a simple pair of portlets that talk to each other. Notice that it
    sends the request back through the FlowManager servlet, which is the routing
    framework for your portal. It is registered as the servlet with the service
    name "application". The name of the Application Init property set that defines
    your portal is included as path info after the servlet name in the request like
    this: http://localhost:7501/application/testportal. You can see here that
    "testportal" is path info for "application"... Anyways, here you go. Good
    luck:
    send_portlet.jsp
    <!-- This portlet sends a request that is tagged with a target
    value so that receive_portlet can read the target in its
    request parameters and see that the request is for it. -->
    <%@ page extends="com.beasys.commerce.portal.admin.PortalJspBase"%>
    <%-- Set the action attribute to submit the form the FlowManager servlet (the "traffic cop")

    out.println("PortalJspBase.getTrafficURI(request) is: " + getTrafficURI(request));
    %>
    <br>
    <form method="post" action="<%= response.encodeURL(getTrafficURI(request)) %>">
    <input type="text" name="theWord" size=10>
    <input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Send">
    <!-- put a "target" parameter in the request so that a portlet
    can check it to see if they are the intended target of this request -->

    Hi,
    for the majority of manufacturing customers doing make-to-order a re-use of their VC models defined in ERP is the better option. The AP Configurator (new name for the SCE part of the IPC) supports 95% of all of the product model as defined in VC. This re-use allows to conitnue to use the same product master data for high-volume make-to-order orders via CRM and at the same time for engineer-to-orders that are changed solely in ERP.
    The typical process looks like this:
    - Adjust VC product model to fit AP configurator if necessary (delta-list is described at help.sap.com > ERP > SAP ERP Central Component > Logistics > Variant Configuration > Product Configuration with the Configuration Engine > ERP Master Data and Configuration Engine)
    - Adjust VC product model to fit the needs of the extended user base in CRM if necessary (very often the product model in VC is technical and requires specification of many technical characteristics. To overcome this additional sales- or application-oriented characteristics might need to be added that pre-fill in values for the technical characteristics using constraints or other rules)
    - Create a Knowledgebase and extract the product model into it
    - Set-up CRM Scenario including Middleware replication of product and knowledgebase
    - Set-up JSP UI of the AP Configurator within CRM
    - Create equivalents of user defined functions in Java and make them available to AP Configurator in CRM
    For a subset of customers that does not do manufacturing in ERP setting up a product model in CRM is the other possible option available since CRM 4.0. In CRM 2007 this was improved to allow for multi-level configurable products and also provides a maintenance enviroment for product models that integrates well with the rest of master data maintenance in CRM (pricing, catalog, cross-/upsells, bundles). This maintenance environment (some still call it PME) is available in the overview page of a configurable product within the assignement block called "Product Models".
