Homepage Framework services in Sitemap

Hello Sitemap Gurus,
We used ECC Homepage Framework to setup our ESS pages in Portal. The HF configuration consist of creating the resource link which are attach to area pages.
In turn the area pages are grouped under area group to create the resource which shows on the Portal as page.
The issue we are running into is that we cannot pull the resource services links in the sitemap. Has any one tried pulling the service resource link in the portal sitemap.
Any suggestion on how to do it will be helpfull.
Thanks.

That's correct, work protect mode shouldn't be the problem in your case.
I would probably start from the portal role and drill down through each portal component (i.e. Workset, Page, iView) and check that nothing has a parameter set to open the content in a new browser window.
Doing it this way (as opposed to opening each component) should reveal any delta linked changes to parameters that you may not be able to see when looking directly at the iViews etc.
I am assuming that the right Homepage configuration has been transported to your testing client as well?
Regards,
John

IMG - Homepage Framework Service - Direct URL launched in a seperate window

Hi All,
I have added a quick link to Working Time to point to an external site within our Client's network. As a test I have entered "http://google.com" into the Directory Path field. But when I click the link it opens a new window and navigates to google.com, but there is a large amount of url paramaters added to the url. Can someone please tell me how to accomplish this without the paramater string being added to the url? SAP has said that they are not allowed to answer my question??
This is the url opened in the new window:
http://www.google.com//?sap-ext-sid=DqtpyyXMkqaIL2%2FQcCljHQ%3D%3D%2BXNzouEuFAJK9Z1ExH2eoA%3D%3D&sap-wd-arfc-useSys=SAP_R3_Financials%3A100&sap-wd-cltwndid=WID1206113235971&sap-accessibility&sap-locale=en&sap-rtl&sap-ep-version=6.4.200610270247&sap-wd-tstamp=1206113278303&sap-cssversion=6.0.15.0.0&sap-cssurl=https%3A%2F%2Fusatrame3325.atrame.deloitte.com%3A443%2Firj%2Fportalapps%2Fcom.sap.portal.design.urdesigndata%2Fthemes%2Fportal%2Fcustomer%2FDeloitte%2Fur%2Fur_ie6.css%3F6.0.16.0.1
Thanks,

Hi,
apart from the fact that those parameters are ugly obviously some sites can not handle additional parameters and so it is not possible to navigate to a non-portal navigation target. That is why I'm wondering if it is possible to avoid them.
Thank you,

Confirmation Link - IMG - Homepage Framework for ABAP WebDynrpo appl.

Hi All
I am working on Confirmation Link under the SPRO -> Cross-Application Components ->Homepage Framework ->Services->Define links on confirmation page
This can be used to add a link to the confirmation page of the self-service application, my doubt is, is there any way to use this service for customized ABAP WebDynrpo application? i mean can we add a link to the ABAP WebDynrpo application, if yes how can i achieve this.
Thanks and Regards
Chaitanya.A

Hi,
I have created a custom web dynpro ABAP app to update a Z Infotype. I have also added it to the ESS Personal Info area page and all works well. We want this application to work EXACTLY as other delivered ESS apps like address etc,, so we also want confirmation links on the confirmation page.
I did go through SPRO through the path mentioned in the chain above and created an entry there ... but I have no CLUE as to how willl my web dynpro app use that information ... I am not too experienced with the Portal, just know how to create i-views, and add them to worksets and do a bit of customizing to make them appear on appropriate area page. Any help, or tutorial link or procedure to do this would be helpful. precisely i am confused on the following points:
1. Do i need to add LinkToAction UI elements on the final view or not ?
2. How does the portal come to know which view in my app is the final confirmation view.
3. Do i need to code anything in the web dynpro app to read the customizing info and display the links?
4. How does the location gets determined where the confirmation links will appear.
I am for the time being using navigation links in my web dynpro abap application. But when I Navigate to a portal page, the portal desktop theme goes for a toss. So i want to see if confirmation links make any difference.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Dynamically hiding the services on homepage framework

Dear All,
Requirement in my case is like for some users some specified links should be visible on the overview page which we configure from SPRO through resources, area pages , services etc
and for others these links shouldnt be visible.
For example : in ESS role one document link is there which should me visible only to one set of users.
To workaround this, we made two ESS roles and replicated all authorizations, with one ESS role having the document link in addition.
But this is very tedious and messy since we need to replicate SPRO config also for the overview page.
Please help if some workaround is possible through portal setting or through service/area page settings.
Thanx

When you say a document link - Is it a service in the homepage framework ?
If your requirement is to provide few extra services (within the same sub area or Area), you can implement a proxy class and implement your custom logic in the proxy class. The proxy class can hide/show the services using it based on your custom logic.
(There is a field for setting a proxy class in the "Define Services" view in the homepage framework).
You can refer to CL_XSS_CAT_1_AREA_PAGE for example implementation which uses interface IF_XSS_SER_PROXY_SERVICE.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks,
Shanti

Homepage framework/Overview iView

Hello All,
I am using ESS 1.0. The overview screen for ESS has various areas such as Personal Info, Benefits and Payments etc.
If I want to have one set of users viewing Personal Info and benefits and payments and the second set of users only viewing personal info do I have to create multiple Overview iViews and do the necessary configure in the backend e.g. create numerous 'area group pages' in the homepage framework.
Or is there a simpler way?
Thanks,
Nick.

Nope...no simpler way. That's it. You can use "proxy services/classes" to show/hide services on an Area page dynamically, but when presenting different Areas in an Area Group, you are pretty much stuck making several "versions" of your ESS config. It is not daunting or difficult...just a bit tedious. I had one client with 6 different ESS Homepage Framework versions.....yes, that's how I got to know HF pretty well. haha

Open external URL from Homepage Framework

Hi,
We are building our new ESS functionality with Homepage Framework and I need to create some links to external URL. I would like them to open in a different window with no portal header at all. They should appear as services listed in the menu area. While this seems easy, I had tried several things with no success.
First, I created an URL iview in portal content. I marked the option "launch in external window" to Open in a separate window.
I create a resource that pointed to this Iview, and linked resource with a "java webdynpro" service, service with subarea and subarea with area. The service link is displayed correctly but it is always opened in the portal page, not in a different one. Have i forgotten any parameter that would make this work?
A second approach was to create a resource that includes the URL and an associated service, marked as "Direct URL launched in separate window".
This succeds in calling the URL in a differeny window but it adds some strange parameters at the end. So instead of calling http://www.google.com it calls something like http://www.google.com?sap-ext-sid=2J*HeTVW7295w3QWBZhQow--

While some pages can ignore those extra parameters, in other cases, this causes a "page not found" error.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Many thanks in advance to all.

Hi Daniel,
Define Resource: you have to mention all the below details
1. object name :http:// (url ).
2.window name: "".
3.window Property : target="_blank".
and also check define service:
service type: Direct url launched in a seperate window.
And assign resouce to service -
>
service to sub area--->
sub area to area---->
area to areagroup.
hope it helps............,
Thanks,

New ESS config - Homepage Framework (area group, etc) seems to be missing

Hi,
I am installing the new ESS 1.0 for ECC6 (ERP5).
I succsessfully imported with SDM he new:
ESS BP
PCUI_GP
I then created all systems in the portal and all JCo's.
When I try and open Employee Self-Service (any pages) in the Portal I get the following error:
Area group SAPDEFAULTESSERP2005 does not exist._
It seems like the Homepage Framework has not been imported for some reason as there are no default area groups or anything else in homepage framework.
Have I missed something? Is there something else I also had to import?
Many thanks,
Adriaan

Dear ,
it seems that you are trying to use an ERP2005 ESS package with an
ERP2004 backendsystem. Unfortuanetly this is not working.
You can use
ERP2004 - ECC5 - NW2004 - ESS 100 - ESS BP ERP2004
or
ERP2005 - ECC6 - NW2004s - ESS 600 - ESS1.0 BP ERP2005
However it should be possible to connect the ESS 100 application which
are running on a NW2004 to an EP7.
Hope this should be helpful.
Best Regards,
Deepak...

What is the benefit of configuring the XSS Homepage Framework for ESS

What is the benefit of configuring the XSS Homepage Framework for ESS?
Over using standard iViews.

It means you can disable (or enable) the exact functionality your customer needs rather than sticking with the default implementation.
Most customes do not use everything available from ESS or MSS. Switching it off (making it unavailable) is WAY better than leaving potentially unconfigured content to be accessed by users. SAP generally do not handle the error cases and you will get lots of nasty stack traces .....

Adapter Framework Service Not Starting!

Hi,
We are currently experiencing a critical failure of our XI 3.0 production server. It was taken down for maintenance over the weekend and when it was brought back up we are receiving the error:
com.sap.engine.frame.ServiceException: <--Localization failed: ResourceBundle='com.sap.engine.frame.KernelResourceBundle', ID='Instantiating the Adapter Framework service (
Seems to be some issue which is preventing the adapter framework service from starting... We are on a 64bit clustered server setup on Windows, we are running XI 3.0 SP19.
We use various different adapters, JDBC, File etc... and the Seeburger AS2 adapter for EDI.
Availability Time Planning and Comm Channel corruption has been fingered as the possible cause but we cannot disable these via the RWB because the relevant service is not starting...
If anyone has experienced an issue please let me know how this was resolved...
Thanks,
Pete

Thanks for the responses...
The server has been running perfectly for several months.
Due to volume of messages and some memory related issues we are migrating our servers to 64bit Windows Server 2003. We migrated our 32bit server 2 months ago to some temporary hardware and are now moving back to the original hardware. The database was exported last week from the temp hardware and applied to the original hardware. This weekend we were intending to do a switchover so we powered down the temp hardware and powered up the original but it wouldnt start. So our contingency was to continue using the temp hardware only... Now it wont come up either...
Nothing of note has changed on the server since the original migration...

Configure Framework services failed while upgrading to 11.1.2.2

Hello Gurus,
Trying to upgrade Hyperion 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2 and following Oracle's recommended strategy as per install document (Chapter 6 - Upgrading EPM System Products).
I have replicated the SQL Server DB to a new server and so far I have successully configured Shared Services, Calc Manager, Essbase Admin services, Provider services, Essbase, however, when trying to configure Reporting and Analysis, everything works fine including configuring database, but configuration of framework services failed.
For reference, I have copied over the RM1_<servername> folder files from previous install to data/RM1 folder on the new machine, which is the default path that comes up for Repository Directory.
I had a look at the config log and the following error is reported -

Not really sure what the issue is, so any help will be really appreciated. I have searched google and oracle support but no results. The install is on Windows Server 2008 (VM) and backend is SQL Server.
Please let me know if any other information is required.
Thanks.

Homepage Framework - XSS Menu diffrent Systems

Hello,
is it possible to have the application XSSMenu (Homepage framework) from 2 diffrent SAP Systems in one portal?
I´ve tried to use the parameter sap-wd-arfc-useSys and created the additional JCo destinations - but now i get an error
"Accessing System AAA is not possible because RFC Metadata was retrieved using System BBB. Please assure you have configured the RFC Connections properly"
any suggestions?
br franz

Make sure you followed all the instructions in this link
http://help.sap.com/SAPHELP_NW70/helpdata/EN/f4/651741f163f023e10000000a155106/content.htm
and that you have restarted your web server.
I have not tried accessing two ESS systems before, we always end up changing the JCo's when we need the system switched.
Hope it works for you.

Tom

Homepage Framework Cache

Hi,
the initial loading of the homepage framework has turned out to be a major bottleneck for our ESS (600 SP10) implementation on EP 7.0 SP14. Is there anything I can do to speed up the initial loading time of the homepage framework?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
//Elvez

Hi Andy,
no - the portal usually does not crash (it is a multicluster environment). Reboots are done when needed. Any suggestions on how to speed up performance?
FYI, when I speak of very long time, I mean > 10sec initially versus < 2sec after the initial load.
