Federated Portal Content Copy

Hi guys,
I implemented an FPN scenario and it kind of worked. I can browse content stored on the producer but content copy, from the producer to the consumer, hangs indefinitely and never stops (either in IE or in Firefox).
Any clue?
Cheers,
Marco

Hi Marco,
Check this what SAP says about content copy:
Remote Content Copy Solved restrictions:
IMPORTANT: The architecture supporting the 'remote copy content' usage mode has been modified in SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS 10. It now supports delta link relationships between the copied objects (for more information about the new functionality support, see 'Remote Delta Link' below). This modification resolves many of the restrictions and limitations related to this content usage mode. We recommend not implementing the 'remote copy content' usage mode if you are running SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS 09 and earlier. The reason being that any content using the old architecture will not be functional after the change. It is recommended to use Remote Role Assignments until SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS 09.
Some of the restrictions that are related to content usage mode Remote Content Copy are:
          o This mode not supported as of SAP NetWeaver SPS 10 - you cannot use Remote Content Copy objects as of SPS 10 (no migration is available).
          o Only WSRP-compliant content is supported with this content sharing mode. This means for example that only iViews can be copied. Web Dynpro iViews, PRT server-side events between iViews and Object-Based Navigation (OBN) are not supported.
          o Producer and Consumer must be of the same version and SPS.
          o Changing an object name after copy is not reflected in PCD.
          o Objects containing URL iViews have to be executed on the producer before copying them (execution will fail otherwise).
          o In case copy process fails or is cancelled: objects might remain locked in producer. The producer administrator has to release these objects manually.
          o Browsing through remote Portal Catalog fails when many folders are extracted at the same time - cache needs to be cleared.
reward points if this helps.

Portal Content Copy Folder Error

Hi,
In Portal Content Admin, the folders Key Account Manager & CRM are provided by business package and located under Content Provided by SAP -> specialist.
When these folders are copied to another folder for further customization, Key Account Manager is copied successfully but for CRM, following error message is shown:
Copy: CRM
Error
Source object not found. It may have been deleted.
Then, I tried to copy CRM's subfolder. Small folders (packages, pages, roles, templates) completed successfuly but the complicated folders (iViews & Worksets) failed with the same error message.
Although I can try to copy the sub-folders one by one, it is too tedious & error-prone.
How can the CRM folder be copied completed?
Regards,
Tony

The reason for the error is still unknown.
By the way, with the help of Content Mirroring, this error is not an issue for me anymore. Using Content Mirroring instead of Copy & Paste is also suggested by SAP document: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/ed/fd25c7c14c4094a9fbb19851d79dd1/content.htm

Federated Portal Content and HTML Page Navigation

I have an HTML Landing page for several worksets that is hosted off of a static content server to reduce lag time from things like KM iViews.
However, these landing pages have links to various iViews in the portal using the return EPCM.doNavigate('ROLES//:pcdlocation')".
Currently, I need to figure out how to have this HTML page load an iView from a content portal while linked from a Producer Portal. Any thoughts?

Hi Steve, thank you for responding.
I tried using xfa.host.setFocus("xfa.form.form1.ConsentForm"); I tried using setFocus("ConsentForm") and setFocus("form1.ConsentForm").
Am I not using the correct syntax?

Problem in Remote Delta Links in Federated Portal

Hi experts,
I am trying the federated portal content usage modes. My producer and consumer are EP7 and SP13.
I have done the Setting up trust both the side.
I have created Netweaver content Producer, with P4 communication properties.
I can able to get the remote roles in consumer (it is working fine).
But I am not able to see the Producer PCD. I didnt get the expand button in the Netweaver content Producer object .
Please help me, Where I made mistake..
Thanks and Regards,
Chinnadurai R

Hi Chinnadurai
1.During the process of Registering (Adding) Producer Portal, while entering the connection parameters of the NetWeaver producer portal use appropriate Host name against Host Name input field instead of IP address. Perhaps this might create some problem during execution in later stage.
e.g. Host Name: use Hostname123 instead of XXX.XX.XXX.XXX
NOTE: Here always use fully qualified domain name
2. Check whether producer is 'Blocked'
3. Try to add new producer again followed by connection test and registration ...it might work...
4. Sometimes it may happen that you are able to see PCD under portal content studio of consumer portal but if when you open the producer under 'NetWeaver content producers' and if it does not contain folders in it, the registration is considered to be unsuccessful even though it stated it was successful while registration

Federated Portal - ESS/MSS remote content copy / remote delta link mode

Hello,
We have established an Federated Portal Network between two Enterprise Portal systems.
The Consumer System is an Netweaver Enterprise Portal, the Producer also an Enterprise Portal installation + XSS.
We use remote role assignment and remote delta link functionality between this two systems.
We have an request to enable BI JAVA Iviews on the consumer and as transitive content sharing is not provided, we would like to copy the ESS/MSS roles as remote content copy/remote delta links from the producer XSS system to the consumer system.
When we try to copy the ESS or MSS roles the copy process end with the following error message :
"Due to an unexpected error the action will be canceled"
The remote content copy/remote delta link usage mode is working correct on other roles
Is this a restiction that ESS/MSS roles can not be used in remote delta link mode ?
Is there an workaround for such usage type ?
Thank you

Federated Portal: accessing content, through Consumer, stored on Producer

Hello Guys,
I am working on a project which has a Federated Portal Network scenario. Details of it are as follows:
Details:
SAP EP 7.0 with SP11. Two portal installations: Consumer and Producer. Both Consumer and Producer are used for logging on by users. Consumer does not have any content. Users logging on to Consumer accesses all the content from Producer rendered through Remote Role Assignment which works fine. Through Consumer, I am able to access in Top Level Navigation, the Role and all assigned worksets, of the Producer. For a particular workset I have a page containing an AppIntegrator iView. AppIntegrator iView is being used as we are catering to more than one language on the portals. This AppIntegrator iView is rendering an HTML page which is stored in a KM repository on Producer (as I mentioned all content is on Producer). The path to the HTML page on KM repository is given in the URL Template property of the AppIntegrator iView created on the Producer.The path for example is something like: <System.protocol>://<System.server>:<System.port>/irj/go/km/docs/myrepository/testPage/<Request.Language>/includes/mypage.html
The links on the HTML page are all relative links. For eg, {a href = "/irj/portal/theQuickLink" target="_top"}. The behaviour I want is to navigate to the workset/page once I click the link on the HTML page while staying in the Consumer portal.
Problem/Question:
On the Consumer I see the HTML page and till this point the navigation is in Consumer portal. But when I click on any of the links on this page the navigation takes me to the Producer URL. I am transferred to the Producer portal and am no longer in the Consumer portal.
Thanks in advance.
Kaushik

Vinoth,
I am aware about the solution provided by you. But my problem here is the Server name + port and not the rest of the URL.
For eg. my consumer portal is http://Aserver:50000
and producer portal is http://Bserver:51000.
While I am able to access the HTML page via consumer and till then the URL has the consumer Server + port details (for eg. http://Aserver:50000), once I click any link on it the URL in the address bar of the browser window changes to that of the producer for eg http://Bserver:51000. All subsequent browsing happens in the producer as I am transferred to the Producer.
Let me know if anybody has more suggestions.
Thanks,
Kaushik

Error occurs in accessing producer content in federated portal network

Federated Portals and BI content creation

We are going to have our first opportunity to possibly federate portals. We have had a 7.0 Enterprise Portal for a while now and we are planning to upgrade one of our BW instances to 7.x. We are probably going to set up this BI instance so that it has its own dedicated Java engine rather than utilizing the Java engine in the Enterprise Portal. I understand that the BI Java stack is used for multiple purposes including the display of BI query results and the producing of portal content to be consumed by a consumer portal. My question is this: Can we create iViews on our Enterprise Portal to display the query results from the BI Java stack and not create any portal content on the BI Java stack? This would be similar to how we do it today with our 3.5 BI. The BW iViews are created on our Enterprise Portal but they display the query results from the BW Abap stack.

Tim,
Yes you can and that's how I typically address centralized management for ECC, BI, Bobj, u2026, CRM, and MDM pcd objects. Your approach should be RAI (Remote Application Integration) vs. RDL (Remote Delta Links). You'll Federate the Consumer (EP) with the Producer (BW Java stack). Setup SSO between these two systems and create a content producer. The iViews will be created in the consumer portal with the Federated alias you assigned when creating the content producer.

Hi,
I may be mistaken, but is the copy process not WSRP based, so that the P4 communication only is used when the user really accesses the RDL-copied iView?
If you 100% sure that your P4 communication between Consumer and Producer is working, you can try to unregister and re-register the FPN connection.
Or open an OSS to SAP.

Federation Portal Network Impl. - Producer content is invisible

Hi,
I trying to implement FPN remote role assignment scenario.
I got 2 EP7.0 portals one on SP10 and the other one on SP11.
I have created a user in CP (consumer portal) in portal UME.
And via Import in Identity Management in PP (producer portal) in portal UME.
And reset the password in PP. And carried out certificate exchange.
And able to register in CP successfully.
But, when I check for the content in CP 'Content Admin' -> Producer, I could not see it. But, producer as self, i was able to see in both portals.
Pls. advice.
Regards,
Sreekanth.

Hi Sreekanth,
Have you completed the trust configuration steps beyond the ticket exchange, using the visual admin?
When you have, please clear the cache under System administration->Federated Portal->Cache management or Configure my consumer profile.
Clear the remote role assignment cache.
Go back to the content catalog.
Open the NetWeaver content producers.
Right click your producer and choose 'refresh'.
Regards,
Oren

Federated portal's, cann't see the roles and portal content from producer

We are configuring a Federated Portal, with a Producer EP7.0 SP13 and a Consumer EP7.0 SP13. The connection test is successful.
I can see the producer on the consumer and the consumer on the producer.
The problem is that I can not see the portal content of the producer in the portal content of the consumer. The producer roles are also not available on the consumer. I have selected the producer as the data source in the consumer UME,
then enter * in the role name field, then select "go", but nothing comes up.
Can anybody help me?

Hi J De Voijs
Following might be the reason:
1. User should exist in both user store of Consumer and Producer portal otherwise it wont work.
2. Incase if the registration is successful then there might be some problem with your servers (Consumer & Producer) clock timings.
3. Remote Role Assignment may get fail perhaps because user to whom remote role assignment is done doesnt have End User role assigned to him/her at Producer Portal. End-user permission enables business users to run content at runtime. Just as end users require end-user permission to run local content on your portal, they also need end-user permission for local content originating from a remote producer.
4. You should have Owner permission in the objects to which you want to assign permissions otherwise Remote Role Assignment wont work.
5. In the portal content studio, open the producer under 'NetWeaver content producers'. If it does not contain folders in it, the registration is considered to be unsuccessful even though it stated it was successful while registration.
6. During the process of Registering (Adding) Producer Portal, while entering the connection parameters of the NetWeaver producer portal use appropriate Host name against Host Name input field instead of IP address. Perhaps this might create some problem during execution in later stage.
e.g. Host Name: use sapProducerportal02 instead of 172.19.144.155
7. Also go through the following URLs (w.r.t Permissions):

How to make Federated Portal Network Content available in a Consumer Portal

Hello Experts,
we have the following situation:
We have two NW 7.0 Portals: 1 Main Portal on and 1 BI-Portal
We would like to do a remote role assignment via the Federated Portal option in the Portal, so that we can make the BEX-Explorer role from the BI Portal available in our main Portal.
I've already created a connection to the BI-Portal (Producer-Portal) in "Federated Portal" and have already registered the main portal as the Consumer in the BI Portal. I used SAP Help for that:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/67/7e70424edcc553e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Now I have the problem, that I can not find the remote role from the BI Portal in the Identity Management of our main Portal? Does anybody has a idea (or maybe a solution ) how to fix this problem? The SAP Help is not very helpful, it always deals with the same notes...
Regards
Andreas
PS: Of course u can earn points!!!!

Hi
first of all i would check that the SSO is working between the two portals..
Log into one of the portal.. Change the URL to the other portal. If you have to log in, then there is a problem with your SSO. Remember to have enough permission on both the portal.
If that works, then log into the consumer portal and check what you find in the portal content of the producer portal.
Let me know the result, and I will help you further..

UWL in Federated Portal Network

Hi All,
Can anyone please suggest how UWL works in case of Federated Portal Network? I have a requirement to show the tasks, alerts, notifications from more then one Producer in the same UWL iview on Consumer.
I followed the steps as mentioned in the SAP help document Running the UWL in the Consumer Portal http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/8084e2e8c9487fe10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm but no luck.
I would appreciate if anyone can let me know the proper process for doing this or could provide any document for it.
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Seema Rane.

Hi Seema,
There are two ways to configure UWL on the federated portal:
1. Run UWL on the Consumer Portal:
a. Everything must be copied over, including xml files. Retrieve information directly from the backend. Use the IviewLauncher Handler. This uses the remote delta link from the producer.
Have a look here at the help documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/8084e2e8c9487fe10000000a114a6b/content.htm
2. Run UWL in Producer Portal:
a. Here the configuration is predefined.
b. Use remote role assignment or remote delta links
producer remote delta links should be available as remote delta links on the consumer.
copy as remote delta links; config is done on the producer
Have a look here at the help documentation:
EP7
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/81ab2f3bab6975e10000000a114a6b/content.htm
(for nw701, 702, 720 search the help documentation accordingly)
I hope that this information is helpful to you.

ERP2005 MSS reporting in a federated portal network

Hello,
We are implementing ERP2005 MSS on a federated portal network, and were facing a problem with the MSS reporting IView (application mss~rpt).
When we execute this function on the producer portal (the portal connected to the ECC backend, with the BPs and Webdynpros), the IView launches well, a report can be selected and finally in the second step, the button Report Results opens up a new portal window. The URL of this window contains a navigation target which points to an IView of the standard ERP2005 Business Package:
NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/com.sap.pct/line_manager/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.roles/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.manager_self_service/com.sap.pct.mss.hcm.rpt.iac
This IView will then launch a session which starts Internet service HRWPC_FC_EXEC on the integrated ITS. Directly on the producer everything works fine and the report is displayed in an ITS session perfectly. Works as designed so far
However, when we execute this on the consumer portal (with remote role assignment) a popup window opens when clicking the button Report Results, and nothing happens no report.
The cause of this is that the external popup window links to the consumer portal, and NOT the producer portal. Since the business package is not deployed on the consumer portal, the navigation target cannot be found and no content is displayed.
Now, the quick and dirty solution would be to deploy the BP on the consumer portal, but this is of course not in the strategy of federated portal. Displaying the report in the same window should also do the trick, but I didnt find any option to do this.
Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this without having to deploy the BP on the consumer portal?
Best Regards,
Jos

Here are some tips.
Firstly, make sure you use NWA to read the exact error in Default Trace. If you are experiencing the 'User Authentification' error or needing to add the Super Admin role to J2EE_GUEST, then it is highly likely that you have an SSO problem between your consumer and producer. Try a simple test...Log on to the consumer and then type or copy in the url of your producer. Are you getting the logon page? If so then SSO is definately not working. You can try vice versa as well but for simple fed scenarios, producer to consumer is not required.
You should not have to modify settings in Visual Admin. You can do it directly in NWA Trusted Systems. Client is referring to the client number of your JAVA engine...Don't worry about any BASIS administrators who insist JAVA has no clients! The default client is 000 but this may have ben changed - its a ConfigTool setting in UME. You can see it in NWA Trusted Systems. It tells you the client number of the portal you are logged into. You must ensure that when you load up this portal's certificate, the client field must be as it is set here.

Federated Portal Network FPN: exception Remote Delta Links rdl

Consumer Portal version: 7.01 SP2
Producer Portal version: 7.00 SP15
I always receive an exception when i try to preview a remote delta link.
I think I've setted up correctly the trust relationship between my portals. Because when I log on to my consumer portal and I open the producer portal in the same browser I don't need to give my user credentials. This is a simple test to see if the the trust relationship is working...
In the portal content studio I'm able to see my portal producers and their content. There is also no problem to copy for eg. an url iView from my producer to the portel content of my consumer portal as local content. when I try to preview my iView I receive a runtime error!
Anyone who'd like to share some ideas? Known issues?
Thanks

I've posted my solution in this thread:
Re: Federated Portal Network FPN: exception Remote Delta Links rdl
My problem is already solved!
Thanks anyway,
Gert
