EROOR WITH VARIABLES ON THE PORTAL

Hi all
I have written a qry and then saved the workbook on the server. The workbook contains 2 variables, I can create the setting on the PORTAL without any issues. It states that the workbook is successfully broadcasted, when I go and open the workbook i;m getting this error:-
There are variables; change variable values.
can anyone share some light in this matter!
thank you ...Bhavesh

Hi Bhavesh,
Can you check which value have those variables at the moment when you execute the workbook ? Those variables it was created on a query ?
Could you try to set any value before open the workbook?
Sometimes a variable is not working properly on execution in WAD and that its resolve beside the creation of that variable in query. Then create that on WAD.
Hope this helps!
Natalia.

Hi All,
I have Problem with Variable in the selection screen. I have four variable in the report in this sequence
<b>Plant (optional), calendar month (mandatory), material (optional), Customer (mandatory). </b>
In Development system, I changed the query to fix the problem for a formula. saved and executed the query. In the selection screen appeared four variables and executed. after executing the query and I saved the work book also. I logged out of the Bex Analyzer. In the RSRT I generated the report by clicking the Generated Report push button. and again logged into the Bex analyzer and ran the work book, now in the selection screen, appeared three Variables only, I am missing the variable <b>Customer</b>.
The old report which is already in the Production system is working fine. What could be the mistake I did in the development system.
It is very urgent, I need to deliver this object as soon as possible.
Can I anybody help on the same.
Thanks in advance

Alerts with variables from the messages payload without BPM?

Hi, experts:
Is it possible to define a alert category with variables from the messages payload(for example:order_id ) without BPM?

Refer to

initially this also talk about BPM but you can check whether you can use the container variable in you case.
How to define the container variable in ALRTCATDEF is mention in above link.

Dissatisfied with usability of the Portal Studio site

Hello,
We are ramping up production and I have been tasked with developing a proof of concept for Portal. Of course, I've spent countless hours setting up 9iAS, and even trying to understand this whole 'Portal' portal product (like many others). I have devloped in J2EE, VB, VC++, and plenty of other scripting (ASP, Perl) languages.
My experience on that site has been painful at best and it doesn't really seem to be very useful for the most important documentation from a developers standpoint.
It's almost as if it's information overload and just outright confusing. (Which is a concern our company has of implementing portal to our mere mortal users :-] )
All I want to do is find good reference material for setting up Portal, using Java to develop portlets on our development 9iAS instance (NOT using Oracle's hosted 'portal studio'!!), and configuring and setting up the URL based portlets.
This has turned out to be no easy task.
FOr instance, I want to figure out how to create a URL based portlet, AND UNDERSTAND WHAT I"M DOING! This seems to be the part that is skipped. If it's sooooo easy than why is it so difficult to find good reference to what i'm doing?
So I dig around the main portal page. I see a getting started link.. *click*.
Well, I don't see anything specific to URL Providers... maybe the "How can I create portlets using my existing web applications?" is what I want. *click*
Oh, look.. it's like 3rd grade.. a slide show!>.. Cool. :-| okay.. ERRRGHHHT!... hit the brakes!.
"The PDK provides a samle XML configuration file.." ??? where is my link to more information about this magic "configuration file"???.... ahh. So I stop the silly slideshow and I want to know about this "configuration file".. *close window*
Now I'm back at the portal studio heap.
hmm.. "Documentation" for POrtal *click*
Hmm.. after searching through this mind boggling page, there is a "Portal configuration guide" link.. sounds reasonable. *click*
so I look for "URL Provider".. or just "URL" on that page. Nothin found. bah!.. well, now I'm stumped. There is this mystery 'config' file that i've failed to quickly find information about. Strike 1.
So I use the other part of my brain (the developer side)...
There is this "HTTP Adapter" thing. Looks like part of the acclaimed "URL provider" mess. SO i read on...
blah blah blah... nothin of significant use stands out.
ah... somethin... "4.3 Registering A Provider Using The PL/SQL HTTP Adapter".. again. useless. *click * click * back *
So now I retreat back to the silly portal studio page.
Back to the task at hand... finding out the innerds of the configuration files involved in writing a "URL provider".
Looking at the available documents.. OHH LOOK! the actual documentation library is buried at the bottom of the page!.. hmm. I just read the "config guide".. "web toolkit"...?? I wonder.. *click* (grinding as Acrobat loads again)
AHhhh.. it's a "PL/SQL" web toolkit. Not imporessed. How many web developers actually know PL/SQL .. or would WANT to program logic in that query language??? or even any Java or C developers?...grr..
*click* back *
Where is it..??>. this is about the point where I start to forget what I'm looking for.
Well, I've come to the conclusion that the "Oracle9iAS Portal Documentation Library" is a small library, as it doesn't appear to have any good reference for the details of portal use and configuration.. or at least involving the URL services.
*back*back*.. Oh, look what I found.
Near the bottom of the page ("getting started"), there is a link under ""Navigation"" that reads "URL-based: Learn how the PDK helps you build portlets in any web language."
hmm. looks promising. Maybe a little more respectable than that 3rd grade slide show.
*click*
"BUilding URL based portlets".. Ahh presto!
Nice. opened a new browser window. (dumb)
Okay.. I need the PDK.
*click**download**wait*
I extract it to a warm home.
hmm.."Installing URL based Portlets".. sounds intriguing
well, it's now lunch time and I thing I found some good meat.
If you've rached this point you can probably now understand (after reading this long post) tha pain I experience.
GOtta eat some lunch.
-sean@Tekelec

Sean,
I am sorry to hear that you had such problems navigating through Portal Studio to find content on URL Services. Right now Portal Studio is geared by technology, so you click on URL-Based for URL Services, Java for building Java Portlets. Hopefully all the doc will be there to help you. If not, I would be happy to point you in the right direction.
If you are looking to display web content as portlets, you should take a look at Web Clipping, it is a wizard form of URL Services where you simply use the wizard UI.
Go to Portal Studio and click on OmniPortlet and WebClipping or go here:
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/servlet/page?_pageid=350&_dad=ops&_schema=OPSTUDIO&12678_PDKHOME902_39847486.p_subid=350276&12678_PDKHOME902_39847486.p_sub_siteid=73&12678_PDKHOME902_39847486.p_edit=0
This page has demos and papers on using Web Clipping. To install Web Clipping, download the PDK and follow the instructures under the pdk/pdk/portalTools directory.
We are revamping the Portal Studio site to hopefully make navigation much easier for all users (developer and non developer).
Please let me know if you help finding other information. The feedback does help us improve the site.
Thanks,
Sue Vickers

How can i work with variables of the BEx-Query in WAD ???

Hi Experts !
In my Web Template i want to work with the value of a BEx-Variable like this :
</td>
<td class="SAPBEXTbsTab" id="head_TAB4"><A href="javascript:if (V_TEST != '1') {goto_tab('TAB4')}">Summenblatt 3</A>
</td>
V_TEST is a variable in my BEx-Query. Does someone know how i can get the value from this variable ???
Thx Andreas

to get the query variable value into javascript variable you can do like below
<script>
var period_val = '<object>
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
         <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
         <param name="NAME" value="TEXTELEMENTS_PERIOD"/>
         <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_TEXT_ELEMENTS"/>
         <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DP"/>
         <param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value=""/>
         <param name="ELEMENT_TYPE_1" value="VARIABLE"/>
         <param name="ELEMENT_NAME_1" value="0P_FPER"/>
         <param name="ONLY_VALUES" value="X"/>
         ITEM:            TEXTELEMENTS_PERIOD
</object>';

Open a view in the Portal

Hi Experts,
I have a report with some variables in the portal. I made some customization and saved a couple of views. I know that we can open a saved view by going into the report and selecting the open button in the standard template.
But what if i do not want to enter the variables, go into the view and open it every time i want to open a saved view?
Can i open a saved view without going into the standard report and then selecting open?
Thanks,

Error while login to the portal

Hi All,
When I try to login to the portal as a user who dont have Super administrator role and have only "Everyone" role are getting the following error.
Error occurred while trying to access desktop: "portal_content/every_user/general/com.sap.portal.defaultDesktop". The object does not exist or you are not authorized to access it. If this problem persists, contact your system administrator.
Log Off
I followed the steps which are given in the other threads as a solution but still facing the problem.
In my main rules we have given condition like If user = * then use the general default desktop and in the default desktop permissions that Everyone role has read permission . Even then the problem is not solving.
Can anybody help plzzzzz........
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you mean by "content admin" vs "system admin". Content admin is used mostly to navigate to the portal content studio where you can work with PCD objects and set permissions. You will not see all PCD objects here, so things like rules etc won't be visible.
System admin is a role. It has many functions, including the system landscape editor, where you can work with systems, and the portal dispay area, where you can work with display items, such as rules.
There is also a permission editor where you should be able to set permissions on any object.
So, what do you mean by asking if you should use content admin or syetm admin?

Using alerts with variables-"dynamic text" not working

Hello all,
I'm triggering an alert from a BPM, and have set the flag "dynamic text" on for the alert category associated with it. I'm doing it in a similar way to the blog 1382 by Michal:
[/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/13/alerts-with-variables-from-the-messages-payload-xi--updated|/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/13/alerts-with-variables-from-the-messages-payload-xi--updated]
The only difference is that I'm just assigning a fixed text instead of a payload element to the container element, which I've defined as simple type - string.
However, the text of the alert doesn't show anything. I'm getting an email with just "Process <id>" as the subject and "Alert ID: <number>" in the body of the email (the same in the Alert Inbox).
I'm starting to think that there could be something wrong in PI 7.1 which I'm using, as I've configured other alerts in scenarios without BPM without problem.
Thanks for your suggestions!

I've solved it using an alert from the Enterprise Services Builder (Integration Repository). It's a new feature in PI 7.1. It seems the tab "Container" in the alert category didn't exist before (that's why you don't find it in the weblogs of Michal and others) and now you have to use it.

Set_block_property('emp',default_where,...) with variables

i am trying to learn about this built-in with variables and the equal(=) operator , i can not use it with variables , so show me please how to use it with number , charachter and date variables .
1- working with number variables .
- i have the block 'scott.emp' , and a button 'search' .

this is so correct HamidHelal , but what i want to ask about is ,
i know that the part after "default_where" of the set_block_property built-in should reside between two single quotes like so
set_block_property('emp',default_where,' ') ;
but your letters does not reside between these single quotes ' ' , what resides is just this ('empno=') , and if the whole sentence should reside between single quotes , it should be like so
('''empno='||v'') as the two quotes at the beginning of the sentence and at the end are in fact one quote (one at the beginning and one at the end . -- these are which enclude the whole sentence which is ('empno=') .should not it work like so ? -- sure it is not working , but i want to understand why is not it working ? Ok. working statement is
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('emp', DEFAULT_WHERE, 'empno = '|| V);where 'empno = ' is fixed string. variable value of V is concatenate.
Following statement also work. and meets set_block_property('emp',default_where,' ') ;
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('emp', DEFAULT_WHERE, 'empno =7788 ');What is the difference ?
Difference is, in the first statement we set the empno value dynamically where second one is fixed.
Hope it's clear..

Possible to access data outside the portal?

Hi all,
Im currently checking the features available in the adobe forms.
Is it possible to dynamically load an adobe form (for example drop downs)
with data outside the Portal,
Using maybe Web services?
And send data from the adobe form to the portal by webservices,
without having to upload the form,
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Best regards,
Paulo Ruivo

In Designer in the SAP development environment, you can specify a Data Connection based on a WSDL (Web service). If you tie the update of these fields to e.g. a button, you can update the related fields in the form at runtime.
In general, you don't send data to the Portal, which is basically a frame in which you run different applications. The data is usually sent to the SAP db through an application using the form. You can use HTTP/Web services to submit data to the SAP application/database, but this is independent of the Portal.
Kind regards,

HTTP Headers - enabling caching and compression with the portal?

Has anyone configured their web server (IIS or Apache) or use a commercial product to flawlessly cache and compress all content generated by the portal?
Compression and caching is critical for making our portal based applictions work for overseas users. It should be doable, just taking advantage of standard HTTP protocols, but implementing this a complex system like the portal is tricky, we seem to be generating different values in the HTTP Headers for the same types of files (such as CSS).
We are running Apache so can't take advantage of the built in compression capabilities of the .net portal. We are running the java vervion. 6.1 mp1, sql server 2000 (portal, search, collab, publisher, studio, analytics, custom .net and java portlets on remote server).
Basically our strategy is to compress all outgoing static and dynamic text content (html, CSS, javascript), and to cache all static files (CSS, javascript, images) for 6 months to a year depending on file type.
Here are some links on the subjects of caching and compression that I have compiled:

Hi Scott,
Does Weblogic platform 8.1 supports netscape? We have developed a portal which
works perfectly on IE but it dies in netscape. Is netUI tags not supported in
Netscape?
Pls reply

Netscape 4.x and below have terrible performance with nested tables.
The

If IE and/or a recent version of Netscape/Mozilla is not possible then
there are
really only two options:
1) Faster client hardware - not likely to be an acceptable solution.
2) Minimize the number of portlets and the complexity within the portlets.
Neither of these solutions are a great answer, but the 4.7 series of
Netscape is
getting pretty old. Having said that, we've got customers who want to
continue
to use IE 4 :)
Again, though, this problem is, I'm afraid out of our hands. It is the
client
rendering time that is the issue.

b/c it takes so long to load some of the webapps. What the pages willdo when
loading is that the headers will come up and when it gets to the bodyof the page
it seems to stall and then comes up all of a sudden. For some of thepages it
takes 6 seconds and for others it takes about 24-27 seconds.
We have suggested using IE only but that is not an option with allof the customers
and getting a newer version of Netscape is also out of the question.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.--
