Export list of portal content to excel for comparison

Hi.
I have the problem that I have to support a SAP Portal where Dev, Qas and Prod systens are not consistent. Many objects do not exists in Dev or are renamed. So I like to compare the portal content hierarchy of these systems e.g. with help of excel. But I do not know a way to export the portal content hierarchy or a list of objects used. Any ideas about this?
Regards,
Nils

Nils, Im famliar with the point of adding numbers to id's of PCD duplicates, thats not the point. If you will transport the whole content, including roles and worksets, you will notice the portal navigation will point you to the "proper" objects, since those are containing links to the correct id's and, assuming your import is consistent. Delete the whole custom PCD content on target first, import your stuff in a clean state from reference, thats it.
Indeed, its not an excuse to keep PCD dirty, apparently you need to work on it nevertheless. And:
To have an automatic sync is not neccessary. It is more or less to get a checklist where to look.
I got your point, but following that logic you also dont need any excel sheets, you can do it manually. I guess what you was thinking about is a tool, what shows you differences or in other words potential problems in the PCD of different EP's. So, there is no such tool. Additionally if you write one on your own, wouldnt it be nice to correct the differences instead of manual PCD explorer or transport actions?
Your requirement is well known for me, people are raising this e.g. they want to point in source of custom WDAs to portal components over the PCD Id, in that case it has to be identically on all systems for clear reasons.

Portal Content Objects - Dropdown for "ID Prefix".

Hello experts,
It's been a long time since I took TEP10 Academy, but I still remember when doing the exercises at SAP's Trainning Facilities that the ID Prefixes of all PCD Objects were not in an input field as the standard SAP Portal delivery does. Instead it was a drop down list that showed predefined values -com.sap-, so instead of writing the ID Prefix each time, you just select it from the list.
I'm currently doing lots of portal content in my current project and I remebered that functionality that would be particularly useful by now, I want to minimize typos when creating all PCD objects, so here I am asking if anyone know how to accomplish that.
By that I mean:
-Define / set up several ID Prefixes for PCD Objects.
-Assign those ID Prefixes via a drop down list (combobox).
Or whateaver means via configuration (no developments) to accomplish the previously described objectives.
Thanks in advance.

Portal content in Arabic for limited users

Hello Colleagues
We are about to implement ESS on EP.In our backend system ECC 6.0 data is available in English.
Our client requirement is that for certain users Portal content should be available in Arabic.I have gone through some threads in which we can change the Portal language to Arabic for all with Portal Translation .But my question is whether it is feasible for limited users as rest of users will access Portal in English.
Best Regards

Hi,
Based on the Language set on UME standard things will change in portal. To translate your Custom application language in Portal then follow the below link and translate it manually . So that only users with Arabic language set can see portal in Arabic Language.

Master list of all content on available for purchase on iTunes?

I'd like to hand out an extensive website/list/etc to my team convincing them to use iTunes. I'd specifically like a master list of all content currently available to purchase on iTunes...music/artists, movies, tv shows, etc. I realize this is a wacky question, probably not possible or available, but if anyone is aware of such a list, please post! Thanks!

Kinda like asking for a list of all the words in the dictionary.
Why not look in the dictionary?
Just go to iTunes and browse or search for something.

Export list from sharepoint online to Excel 2007 failed

Hello, Office365 sharepoint online, Office 2007 32bit, Win 8.0 x64. When I try to export a list to Excel, I get this error: You do not have adequate permissions to modify this list. Changes to your data cannot be saved.; This comes right after I am prompted
to enable data connections, and the Import Data dialog. Even I double check the permission for the list. I get this error on two different computers; I have tried several browsers (IE10, IE9 ;FireFox, Chrome). How do I fix this problem? Thanks.

are you using sharepoint 2010 or 2013 ? if you are using 2013 then remove office and install office from office 365 portal.. make sure you are signed in the office excel client application with the same username and password you are using for office 365
portal..give it a try !

Portal Content - Business Packages for CRM 7.0 and IC Webclient

Hi all

We are looking at CRM 7.0 and SAP Netweaver Portal 7.0 integration. 
I've noticed that the Business Package (BP) for CRM 7.0 contains very limited business roles for: 
Channel ManagerChannel Manager 
Partner Manager 
Channel Manager (Telecommunications) 
Partner Manager (Telecommunications) 
Customer 
Digital Asset Management 
Incentives and Commissions 
only.

In the past, there the BP for CRM 5.0 contains a lot more roles including customer service representatives and managers. Given that the standard business role export (from CRM 7.0) and import (EP 7.0) does not work for IC Web client business roles, is there a standard way for functionality delivered in IC Webclient like Customer Service to be integrated into EP 7.0?

Otherwise, if we were to configure each BSP page individually for IC Webclient, will there be functions that do not work? eg: alerts, manager realtime view of CSR activities, call tracking, telephony integration etc..

Thanks!

There are two approaches (that I'm aware of):
- install external authentication (such as an LDAP which can be populated from the R/3 backends)
- install an additional Java instance
I would go for both of them because
- it will make things easier if you implement other functionality that is in the portal (non-ESS)
- it will avoid patching one portal and to keep the SPs of both backend systems in sync with the portal

Portal content Transport Packages Export/Import Question.

Hi,everyone:
I have a problem when Export packages of portal content,the epa-file is correct on the server however become error after download from the server to localhost.
The bug is Function of Download itself,if anyone have meet this case and help me. I need your help!
Regard!
Fish

Hi Ree,
As I mentioned in my previous reply it is working perfectly for me. The import is creating the required files in the PCD.
Let me explain how it is done.
Create a TP
Create a folder and add the required files(Workset,pages, iviews etc) to the the folder.
add the folder with all the contents(select 'Add all objects to transport package' from the content menu) to the TP.
Export the TP. give a name of your choice(removing the numbers)
Download it to the local machine using the dowmload link.
the file will be saved as a TPName.epa in your local drive.
in import, select 'client' for Source for Package Files.
brose and select the TPName.epa file.
upload the file, and you can see the contents.
then import it to the new environment. Now the complete folder stucture will be created in the PCD exactly as you created it for the TP.
I hope you are doing like this. It should work
Are yo able to open the downloaded file with WinZip?
cheers

So, do you mean you want to use Portal Logon tickets for SSO?
Then you need to configure this.
There is a Wiki: [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/SAPSSOAuthenticationwithverify.pseusingSAPSSOEXT] )
But I think the SP2 Admin Guide is the clearest; follow the steps on pages 29-31 of the Admin Guide (u201COrgChart_VSN30_SP2_Admin_En.pdfu201D).
Regarding the Wiki, on 3.0 systems step 5b should be unnecessary. But you will also need to set/check that you have configured the application correctly in the Admin Console section:
Admin Console -> Security Settings -> Authentication Settings
Choose u201CSingle Sign On with Logon Ticketsu201D
Click Next until u201CAuthentication Sourceu201D u2013 enter SAP application server, system number and client.
Click Finish, click Submit. Save and publish.

Portal Content Deployment - History

Hello Gurus
Is there is a way to figure out the list of all the portal contents deployed in the portal. ( including date and time).
On the ABAP stack we have import history and we can check list of transports, in same way how can see the list of portal contents deplyed to PORTALS.
Appreciate your help.
Regards
Rrs

Ratan,
Interesting topic - it would depend on how your group has been exporting content (assuming that you are talking about Portal Content and not Java Development). By default, the export tool will overwrite the previous export file if you don't have a procedure in place to make new files for each export. Other then that, I don't think that there is a log of activity or content. For this I nornally require my content admins for Portals to create a unique folder for each project, a sub-foler for each section, and a single file for each export - adding a revision number to the end of each file as they export them.
A long explination for - the system doesn't do it but you can setup something so you can manage it yourself.
My method above helps to keep things in order and you can go look back at the export files and what was in them for this purpose. I also change the export/import directory for the Dev to QA Portal so Basis doesn't need to baby-sit the developers moving content between those two systems and so Developers don't need access to the file system. (Dev export directory is on an NFS between Dev and QA - QA import points to the NFS Dev export folder - so you can just import without doing anything). Somewhat like TMS - for prod I still have an NFS but Basis moves the files to the right import directory.
Hope that helps somewhat to get you going. May seem like overkill but when you get 5-10 portal developers moving quickly, it helps to keep it all in synch with the ECC transports!!

Best way to index portal content

Hi all,
I am searching for a nice way to index the content of the portal.
Using the standard functionality (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/46/9d1405fa743ef0e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm) does not lead to sufficient results, since all roles which are located in PCD are indexed and are found by the enduser.
This could lead to the situation that the enduser might open a page which leads to an error or a blank page.
The other possibility is to use the PCD roles search (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/b2/d59a4271c80a31e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm). This only offers results of roles which are assigned to the user.
However, content of iViews (e.g. URL iViews) are not indexed and so the user can only search for the ID / description of the page (which is okay, but content search is also important).
Is there no other possibility to search for portal content?
Thanks for any hints...
Best Regards
Philipp Kölsch

Hi,
it seems that the current ways of indexing portal content are not really sufficient... I hope that there are better solutions in the future...

Can you export the date and user to Excel that appears into a Comments field in a tracking list?

Hi everyone,
Can you export the date and user to Excel that appears into a Comments field in a tracking list?
When i export a tracking list with a Comment field in the Content type, the screen where you enter the data for an item, the Comments field just export the text of the comment into the Excel file.
In the Comments field appears also, besides the comment text, the user and date from who and when the comment is added.
Is there a way to export also the user and the date?
Thanks
Wim

create another comment field that doesn't use 'appending', and through SP Designer change workflow keep
updating that field with the new comments (prepend the field with date/username/new comment). Hide the field on all forms, but put it in the view you need to export to Excel.
Please refer few more links: Hope they will help

Exporting list to excel..order changes?

hello. thanks for the time and effort.
i'm a SharePoint 2013 noob. so forgive the simple question. we moved a team site from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 and now a user is complaining that when they export to excel the list they see in IE the order gets changed around when it is exported
to Excel. They said it worked in SP 2010 where the list they saw on the team site was exported in the same order to Excel. It's an odd question that I wouldn't know where to start to look. Thanks again.
Also i did see that it cannot be exported when you open the site in Chrome due to ActiveX controls.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to exporting list to excel. However, the orders were changed.
I recommend to create a page and add a Data View Web part using SPD on the page and then use SharePoint list as a Data source and add all items into the web part.
Then from Data view web part exported data to excel.
In addition, I recommend to modify view to remove the content type column.
Here are two similar blogs for your reference:
Question sequence is disordered when we export a survey list to excel
SharePoint 2010 Export to Excel 2010 Fails to Export All Fields in Some Views
The list cannot be exported when you open the site in Chrome due to ActiveX controls.
An ActiveX control is used in SharePoint 2013 to validate if you have Excel installed or not. You can try it out with Chrome on Windows -- it will fail.
Take a look at these ActiveX controls in use with SharePoint 2013:
