Enabling Links in Tool Area

Hi,
I gone thro a PDF in
https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=00200797470000073623&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202..
This PDF is for configuring links in tool area.
For configuring links, I have to set 2 properties:
(1) Enable Link1 & (2) Enable Link2
But I could not find these two properties. Navigate thro
Content administration -> portal content -> portal users -> standard portal users -> Default Framework Page -> Tool Area iView -> click Open
In the properties list, I didnt find Enable Link1 and Enable Link2 Options.
What could be the problem?
Kindly provide me a solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Dhana

Hi Laksmi,
You can directly enable those two links in the default framework page. see the below path:
Content Administrator --> portal content --> Portal Users > Standard Portal Users> Default Framework pages .
Now select the toolarea iView and its properties , there you can find those two links i.e Enable Link1 & Enable Link2. Make them as "True". and refresh the portal .
If it is helpful , Reward Points.
Cheers
Venkat

Hi Pradeep,
Have you read my following weblog.
Brodcast messages to logged on users in Portal(Part1)
Brodcast messages to logged on users in Portal(Part2)
the above is one alternative. You could also write a JDBC application that stores alert and then display alert when it finds it in the database. If you send an email at psingh(at)ust.net, i could send you see this example.

Collaboration Room Link on Tool Area Bar. Possible?

Hi All,
we have collabration rooms which dispays under My rooms for a particular user.Now a user wants to access a single room from somewhere Tool Area iview so that he need not have to navigate to next page for My room iview and then access.
We can do that by changing the URL link of help option with room URL,so that he can click on Help on Tool Area and acees it.But how can i change the name from HELP to some other.I think its not possible?please Confirm.
Is there any possibility to add one more link same as HELP
somewhere on Tool Area and give Room URl to access the room.
Or anyother good option.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Rani,
to 1:
You wanted to know how to change the name "HELP" in the toolarea iView, because as you correctly said, to change the link you only need to change an iView parameter. So only for the label "Help" you need to touch the PAR file. But actually I was misguided by your text, cause the Help link is in the masthead iView and not in the tool area, so you need to change the text in the localization files headeriView_nls(_XX).properties located in com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.par
to2: For achieving that the links are only visible for some specific users you need to implement some additional logic in the ToolAreaiView.jsp
Hope that answers your doubts and your question,
Robert

To Hide "Collaboration" option-link in Tool Areal level

Hi,
I want to Hide only the "Collaboration" option-link in Tool Area level,expect "search" and "advanced search" option.
can any one tell me the way of approach for hiding the "Collaboration" Option link in the Tool Area Level with out hiding the "search and advanced search option".
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Go to Content administration -> Portal content.
Under Browse tab, click Portal content -> End user content ->open Default framework page.
Check toolarea iview and open its properties 'Enable Collaboration Launch Pad' and set it to NO.Also go to cache validity period property and set all the hour, min, sec values to 0(zero). Refresh the portal and you will see the collaboration disappeared. After it hides enter the same value in cache validity period as before.

Tool Area Link1 and Link2

Hi,
I have enabled Link2 in tool area and went into Collaboration Content--> Link Commands > link2> and added www.cnn.com in the reference and restarted the server. The properties I have set are..
valueFactoryKey * = LinkCommandValueFactory
labelKey = label2
resourceBundle = test.properties
launchtype = window
reference = http://www.cnn.com
 My problem is I can see the Link2 in the tool area but I cannot launch cnn website when i click. Nothings seems to be working. Am I missing something or do I have to configure anything else.
Thanks in advance,
Praveen

Hi Praveen,
actually there is a simple explanation for your problem. If you check the ToolAreaiView.jsp in com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea you will find this piece of code:
<TD nowrap>
<%if (isEnabled(profile, ENABLE_EXAMPLE_LINK2)) {%>
<A href="#"class="prtlToolAreaTaskText" title="<%=exampleLink2TooltipStr%>"><%=exampleLink2TextStr%></A></TD>
<TD nowrap class="prtlToolAreaTaskDivider">
<%}%>
</TD>
As there is no function implemented for the clicking on the link as it is for CLP, this CAN NOT WORK!
Here the lines for CLP:
<%
if (isEnabled(profile, ENABLE_CLP)) {
%>
<A href="#"class="prtlToolAreaTaskText" onClick="openCollaborationLaunchPad(); return false;" title="<%=clpLinkTooltipStr%>"><%=clpLinkTextStr%></A></TD>
<TD nowrap class="prtlToolAreaTaskDivider">
<%}%>
You might implement such a function also for opening the configured link for this to work, or wait till SAP does!
Hope this helps,
Robert

Tool area and language dependent links on KM content

Hi there
we are facing the problem that we are using Imprint and TAC in the tool are of the EP6 SP19.
we link those items to KM documents.
Because we want to display the language dependent KM documents we used
the root URL for those sections.
In the KM we created below this root URL the folders for the languages de,en, es, fr and so on. Within this folder we stored the KM Document which is also specified in the tool area iView as the start page.
We are now facing the problem that users with a browser language that is not maintained in the KM folder structure will not be able to see the Imprint or TAC unless the specify a language in the Personalize area.
To you have any solution how we can avoid creating all language folders in the KM structure.
Is it somehow possible to define a default like in the URL iView.
Regards

Hi,
First you need to arrange the KM content in different folders based on the language. Let say if are displaying help file.
Then in KM you need have folder Help following by sub folder for each language. Under these folders you will need to maintain the translated documents.
Now develop a custom abstract portal component ... implement the method doOnNodeReady()...
under this method, get the logged in user and his language.
request.getUser().getLocale();
will provide you that. Now dynamically build an url for the KM document to be displayed.
e.g.
String url = "/irj/go/docs/documents/help/"+request.getUser.getLocale()+"help.html";
Once you have the url, then you need to forward the request to this url using the below code:
request.forward(url);

Mahesh

Collaboration link from the tool area

hello,
has anyone any ideea how can i change the name of the link "collaboration" from the tool area, from the left of search.
thx

Hi,
Import the file com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea.par from the portal, open it with NWDS, look for the file toolAreaiView_nls.properties inside PORTAL-INF\private\classes. find the CLP_LINK_TEXT and change the value to whatever you want. you can also change the files of the individual languages.
Redeploy the par file back to the portal.
It is better if you can deploy it as your own toolarea for future upgrades.

Links tool area

How can I modify the description and to include the links in:
Framework- Tool Area (com.sap.portal.toolAreaiView)?
Thanks,
Mercedes

Hi Mercedes,
what do you mean with description?
You can mdify the too area as follows:
Locate the PAR Archive "com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea.par" and axtract it. Look fot the file ToolAreaIview (PORTAL-INFjsp) and modify it to your needs. Make a PAR-File back and deploy it to the portal.
Hope that helps

Alert message in tool area with hyperlink to forum/km

Hi all,
I'm looking for informations about the tool area customization located in the framework.
I've read that we could publish a message in the header about information or important notifications, but I did not found any hint over ther internet nor in SDN on how to make it work (I'm not so experienced in portal dev).
I would like to do something very similar to SAP Marketplace for important events (maintenance, critical issues...): a warning message appearing at the top of the portal (in masterhead?) with an hyperlink to a document (km or discussion to put informations on the fly...) which appears only when messages are published (i.e. no link if no message is published, or an easy way to switch it off).
Any hint is welcome as tool arean is not documented at all...
Pierre

Hi Pierre ,
Actually there are a few ways to do it .
1) If you want to put up message in Masthead , you will have to customize its par . You can insert a link , on the click of it you will get a Alert pop up(java script) showing the desired information . You can also put up a scrollable message in the masthead itself .
2) If you want to put up a message in Page toolbar , then again you will have to customize its par . You can place a link there as well .
If you place these messages in par , it means you will have to remove it every time from there and then redeploy on portal to bring these changes into effect . Instead you can also place these messages in portal database and query it to call it in the par files .

Exchange BPA Errors (Exchange server is a virtual machine but the additional tools are not installed and The 'Services' string type value located in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Setup\Services' registry key is missing)

Hi,
I am running BPA on My Exchange 2010 VM (Server 2008 R2 VM on Hyper-V) and get the following errors:
The 'Services' string type value located in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Setup\Services' registry key is missing or inaccessible. The Microsoft Exchange Information Store service won't start. As a result, all services that depend
on this service won't be able to start
Exchange server [Exchange Server FQDN] is a virtual machine but the additional tools are not installed. This configuration is not supported. Install Virtual Machine Additions for this guest.
Problem is that, for the first, that Key exists and the service is actually running fine. And for the second my VM tools are already installed.
Hopefully someone out there has had the same issue and can assist.
Pete

Hi Pete,
For the first error message, please try the following steps:
Make sure the Information Store service is in Starting status,
Automatic startup type and works well, as a test we can try to
restart the Infroamtion Store service and verify the service works well.
Start
Registry Editor, find the registry key “Services” under “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Setup”, its value is “C:\Program
files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\v14”(default install location), please check your registry, make sure the key “Services” exist and value is the Exchange Server install location and the
location is accessible;
Start
Registry Editor, and locate the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Setup
Use the
Permission option under the Security tab to check the permission setting on this key. Make sure
System is in the list with Full Control permissions if the service account is Local System. If you are not using Local System as the service account, check the existence of the corresponding account in the list and ensure that
it has Full Control permissions. Please refer to this article:
Title: Exchange Store Does Not Start: Errors 7024, 1026, 9542, and 5000
Link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285116
Start
ADSI Edit, and then browse to the following location:
Domain.com/Configuration/Services/Microsoft Exchange/Org/Administrative Groups/AdminGroup/Servers/Server Name
Right-click the
server name, and then click Properties.
Click the
Security tab, make sure this own server’s server object have
full control permission on its own server.
If not or the object is missing, please modify the permission or click
Add, locate the computer account for the Exchange Server computer, add it to the Permissions list with full control.
Click OK, and then close ADSI Edit.
Use
Active Directory Users and Computers to add the current affected
Exchange Server computer account to the Exchange Servers(previous version should be “Exchange Domain Servers”) group in the
Microsoft Exchange Security Groups( or Users) OU. Refer to this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297295.
Restart the Exchange Server computer, then rerun the ExBPA.
For the second error message, Microsoft don’t recommend to install Exchange Server on virtual machine without additional tools, so the error message occurs. We can just ignore
this message, it will not affect the Exchange servers.
