Federated portals Producer Registration fail

Hi all, I'm configurating a Federated Portal Network and we are working in the first of the portals, it will work as producer and as consumer. I'm doing in this way because I have to generate documentation for my colleges to do the same in other country and then federate the two portals.
When I try to test connection it work fine, but I can´t registry in that portal as consumer.
Is possible this happend because I work as producer and consumer?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Alfonso,
do I understand you right, that you use the same portal as the consumer and producer at the same time? Federating portals means that you have 2 or more portal installations which are connected to each other and can exchange content. Thus, if you try to establish a connection to the portal, which is the consumer and producer simultaneously, it cannot work (you have to have at least 2 portals - 1 being the consumer, the other one the producer). If I understood you wrong, please correct me and we can have a more detailed look into your problem (e.g. do you receive an error or is there just nothing happening?)

Systemcopy in a Federated Portal Network

Hi there,
any experience how to process a systemcopy of a Producersystem (JAVA and ABAP) in a activated Federated Portal Network.
We implement a ECC6.0 System with Portal and Business Package ERP2005 as Producer Portal and a Company Intranetportal Java-only as Consumerportal.
Should we unregister the producersystem, make systemcopy and re-register producer again?
Or it´s possible to change only the certificates in producer/consumer after systemcopy?
Thanks a lot in advance
Christian

Thanks,
I think that is the best practice.
But now we have a problem.
One producersystem was overburned by systemcopy without dereigstering this producer in the consumerportal. Now It´s not possibler anymore to deregister this producer.
Do anyone know a hint, to delete the registration manually from consumersystem?
Or may I delet this system?
Best regards
Christian

Federated Portal Network configuration

Hi,
I just started configuring two test portal systems for federation. When I create a producer object in the consumer portal under system administration-->Federated Portal and then test it gives the following message.
"Producer Connection
Test Details:
Checks if a producer object exists for the producer
Opens a connection to the handshake URL and receives the WSDL file
Parses the WSDL file and extracts the different port URLs
Results
Producer object was found
Could not retrieve the WSDL file; the handshake URL may not exist or may be invalid "
In the "View My Producers" iview under System administration--->Federated Portal I tested the Producer URL and I can see the WSDL file so it seems like the URL is ok.
But I do see warnings regarding SLD connection not working which I find not relevant and the following seems relevant though.
"Cannot get input and output streams from socket. ConnectionsManipulator is not initialized."
Any thoughts?

Hi,
I have configured FPN with EP and BI, both are on same SP level.The connection and the producer registration is successful.
The producer contents can be navigated in Consumer and I can able to copy and paste the producer content in the consumer.
But when I see the preview the content it shows error "

Hi Shanti,
Thank for reply.
I have checked with same user in both consumer & producer portals, In that case its working fine.
If you checked with other consumer users its asking password.
For this I have tried usermapping with producer id under goto personolize -->remote iviews --> select default alias -->enter id/pwd and save for other consumer id.
How we manage for all consumer users, is there any option to mapping to all users at time.
really appriciate your inputs.

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'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):

Federated Portal Question

Is it possible to have a Portal 7.0 Procuder and a 7.10 CE Portal Consumer?
I am having troubles in the registration of the consumer .
I have tried backwards and it works. I mean the CE portal as the Producer and the 7.00 portal as the consumer.
Please advise.

Hi Sree,
For content sharing interactions between NetWeaver portals in your federation network, users on the consumer portal must also exist in the user store utilized by the producer portal; otherwise runtime authorization for remote-based content will fail.
You may use:
Single user store: Using a single physical user store that serves all your portal installations.
Distributed user stores with exact duplication: Using two or more distributed user stores, typically one at each portal installation, which are exact replicas of one another.
Distributed user stores with partial duplication: Using two or more distributed user stores, typically one at each portal installation, whereby only portal users that are assigned to remote content are copied to the user store on the producer portal.
Since the federated portal network makes use of logon tickets for authentication, the users' logon IDs must be identical on both the consumer portal and the producer portal. Therefore, if you are using user stores of different types within the network, for example LDAP on consumer and ABAP on producer, the logon IDs must be identical across the user bases.
Hope this is useful.

Anagha

Error while accessing a BI iView from the federated portal to the BI portal

Hi,
We got an issue when we execute BI report from our federated SAP Portal.
The user can navigate into the portal, but when he executes an BI iView, sometime he gets the following error message:
"500 Internal Server Error
blabla...
Root Cause
The initial exception that caused the request to fail was:
BEx Web application "xxxxx" does not exist. The application was either ended by a timeout or an error occurred, which was entered into the trace log. See SAP Notes 937697 and 948490"
He can then refresh the page and execute the report again, and it will works.
Here is our lanscape :
Federated Portal EP6 SP18
BI Portal SP20
Iview are created on the Federated Portal and consume BI web template.
I don't think about a timeout issue, since sometime we got the selection screen and once we click on a button (after some seconds) we got the error.
Any ideas ?
rgds,
Sebastien

Hello,
Please could you remove the proxy setting and check whether it will give you same error or not.
Even we have faced the similar similar issue and once we have removed the proxy setting and cross checked it , it worked fine and later we came to know that the problem is in network proxy setting application.Check with the net working team for the same.
Thanks

Questions on Federated Portal Network

Hi All,
I have a few questions on Federated Portal Network. Please if someone can provide appropriate answers
It is said that the look n feel will be same. Will the consumer have the look n feel of the producer or the producer application will have the look n feel of the consumer portal. Also, if it is required for the content of the producer portal to maintain it's own look n feel, is it possible
How to take care of the performance bottlenecks. Are there any standards available to improve the performance
Any limitation on the no of producer portals which can be configured with the consumer portal
If one portlet, has undergone some kind of change, then how is the consumer portal notified of this. Is there some kind of synchronization mechanism that takes place or this change is implicitly conveyed to the consumer portal, both in the case of Remote Delta Link or Remote Role Assignment
How does the session management work between the consumer portal and producer portal
What is meant by transitive content sharing
Regards
Nikhil

Hi Rasmus,
Is your consumer portal required High Availability? A scheduled re-bounce of the instance should help (weekly, monthly, etc.) as a preventive measure. Maybe you can observe to see how long does it take before the problem comes back (after a full cache refreshed) and then schedule your re-bounce accordingly. As much as we try to do our best, "things" happen
Or, you can adjust your cache settings (e.g. reduce the maxValidityPeriodInSecond property) to avoid the problem.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/5b/9f2d4293825333e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
According to the following link, the cache stores only semantic objects (iViews, pages, layouts and roles); since worksets are not semantic objects, could that be why?!

Test IVIEWS in Consumers for Federal Portal.

Hi All,
This is the first time iam establishing Federal Portal and i have done with all the configuration steps ie
Setting Truct , SSO , creating and registering of Consumers and Producers etc.
Now i want to check it by creating some iviews etc.. But i dont know and not getting how to create it and test.
Could any body telthe steps to create I views in Consumers and how to test SSO and how to use COnsumers.
Points wil be assigned.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Akash..

Hi Akash,
Steps you need to take:
- Setup trust between consumer and producer portal by exchanging certificates and making Visual Administrator entries in the Security Provider Service.
- Create producer.
- Register producer.
See this document for good descriptions of steps to take:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70191d1e-2bd1-2a10-d9b7-ba19500da527
Also for remote role assignment in NW 7.0 SP15 you need to add some UME Actions to a role that is aasigned to pcd_service user. See following link for the material:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/2236fc0b413fe1e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
Please have a look and reward points if helpfull. Good luck!

Missing MSS iViews in Federated Portal Network

Hello, portal gurus, we have a FPN related issue that hope some of you can help.
We have two portal systems that we set up as a Federated Portal
Network. One producer portal, verision is 7.0, SP11, and one
consumer portal, version is 7.0 SP13. We installed the ESS and MSS business
packages in the producer portal. Those business packages came with the SAP NetWeaver
2005 installation, and they are working ok on the producer portal.
In addition, we were able to do the remote role assignment in the
consumer portal successfully. The problem is that some of the MSS
links and iViews that are shown up ok in the producer portal are missing from the consumer portal.
Have anyone experienced the same issue? Is it because the dismatch of the SP level causing the issue? Are there any fixes to this issu?
Thanks a lot for any input!
Jane

Hi Jane,
PCD content and KM content are two different things and they have different transport mechanism.
If you want to transport PCD content to another portal go to System Administration/Transport/Transport Package/Export. In PCD tree in any place create transport package and add to it objects which you need (folders, roles, worksets, iviews and so on) and save transport package file localy on your computer or server. After that go to the system where you want to locate your content. Go to System Administration/Transport/Transport Package/Import If you save tranport file localy on your computer chose client and upload tranport file.
KM transport very clear describe here How to Export KM Contents by ICE protocol using Offline Channel Beside this way you can transport KM content use program Portal Drive (very useful program especially when you need quickly transport some KM files from one portal to another).

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

App page link to "federated portal" menu with webdynpro for JAVA

Hi experts,
we have completed the federated portal configuration from EP to CE7.1
Clients just log in EP, see both EP and CE content.
Now, clients want to make a index page with some link and fashion pictures pointed to exact EP or CE page.
I found a method "WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute" which can do this in EP.
but when i change content path to my CE content, the method failed.
WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(
               "ROLES://NetWeaver_content_producers/<my CE producer's name>/portal_content/...<my path>",
                         WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,
                         null,
                         null,
                         WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.ALLOW_DUPLICATIONS,
                         null,
                         null,
is there something wrong calling the method? or anything else?
Thanks in advanced!
Fishy

any idea?
thanks.
