Integrating PCD Content into Web Page Composer

Hi,
I am following the link to [wpc link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/06/4776399abf4b73945acb8fb4f41473/frameset.htm] to integrate PCD Content into WPC.
I have deactivated "Hide in Root Folder " check in PCD Repository properties in KM and restarted the portal server. Still I am not able to create an entry point the for the portal content (logged in as 'administrator'). Is there any other settings I am missing?

For creating site specific entry points, I could see the following procedure in the SAP Help ddocs
1.      Navigate to the /Web Content/Sites//Entry Points folder.
       2.      Choose New ® Link.
       3.      Choose Browse... and select the folder containing shared Web content.
       4.      Enter a name for the entry point to appear in the Web content browser and choose Save.
Is this not working out?
Or do you need anything else?
Thanks
Avik

Transport content of Web Page Composer

Hi,
I want to transport web page composer content from the development environment to our test environment, how can this be done? I already tried using ICE but when I test it in the test environment no content is displayed, I assume it's because of some generated GUIDs.
Bye,
Timo

Hi,
In that case you might want to consider transporting through CTS+.
Anyway, transporting Web page composer content is not different than transporting any other KM content.
Please make sure you have followed [this procedure|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/47/276706548a2deae10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm] and in case you have please specify what exactly is not working in the target system. For example, if you go to /wpccontent repository can you see the content there at all?

Important steps are: "Deactivate the Hide in Root Folder checkbox." & "Restart the servlet engine."
How did you configure the entry points provider? sharedcontent=/wpccontent/Cross-Site Content;/documents/MyFolder

Insert Html 5 content into web page

With Flash being phased out, how can you insert HTML 5 content into existing web pages?
I'm trying to figure it out but it's not working properly.

You can easily load it into another page using an iFrame.

Unable to create a Site Content in Web Page Composer

Hi All,
I am new to WPC and would like to explore more on the same. I tried following some blogs inorder to create and publish Web Pages.
I was stuck at a point where we need to create a site content. I guess all the permissions required to access each folder is properly set.
When I tried to create a content like for example an article... A window pops up which says please select a document type and I dont have any option to select whereas I have a cancel and next button at the bottom of the screen. When I click next nothing happens.
Did anyone went through this issue? What am I doing wrong? Did I fail to set some role to the author creating content?? Author has wpc_editor_role though.
Regards,
Rekha Malavathu

Hi Sandeep,
The popup window (which I suppose is an XML Editor) doesnt have any UI Element to select when I try to create any content... may it be an Article, Linklist, etc...
I am using WAS 2004S SP 14. As I mentioned, all the xml and xsl files are available in the folder and even in the KM Configuration.
My problem is, I am unable to create a content as the popup window is blank... No UI Element to select or enter.

Placing iViews into Web Page Composer Web Page

Has anyone got this work?
I have unhidden the PCD so that it is visible in the KM directory.
I have created the entry point for iviews.
When trying to add iviews to a page, I could not navigate to the "pcd" folder in KM, so I went to KM and copied my iviews to the folder I created for the entry point (as the SP12 document suggests "/wpccontent/iviews").
I can then select them to add to a page, but in preview or runtime, the iviews do not appear on the web page.
I realize that the WPC is just a ramp-up/beta, but has anyone else made this work?
Regards

Success!
I think the solution (somehow) is configuring the initial permissions in the Security Zones.
The only problem is that the documentation is incorrect. The correction is in an SAP Note.
Below is the configuration (correction is bolded!):
Documentation says:
Defining Permissions for Security Zones
1. Navigate to Security Zones → com.sap.nw.wpc → wpc (not pagebuilder!). (The documenation says com.sap.nw.pagebuilder. This is incorrect!)
2. Define permissions for Web site owners and, if necessary, for authors.
a. From the context menu of the medium_safety folder, choose Open Permissions.
b. Give the wpc_editor_role role - or a user group - the permission End User.
You can leave the default entry for the Administrator column as None.
c. Choose Reset Child Permissions.
d. Choose Save.
3. Define permissions for users.
a. From the context menu of the no_safety folder, choose Open Permissions.
b. Give the everyone group - or another user group - the permission End User.
You can leave the default entry for the Administrator column as None.
c. Choose Reset Child Permissions.
d. Choose Save.
I made this change, and now I can see iviews in the page. I won't swear this is the solution, but that is the only change I have made lately.

Vishal -
First... we are all new to WPC!
Second, no I don't think you need to create a new container. I think that you just need to add the swf type as an allowed type for the container.
So...
Figure out which container you are trying to add the flash file to (as you mentioned, A1, A2, etc).
Navigate to:
Sys Admin --> Sys Config --> Knowledge Mgt --> Content Mgt --> WPC --> Containers.
Edit the container you want to use.
There will be a box named Allowed Mime Types.
In here, select the "swf" mime type (make sure the check box is checked). Then Save.
At my company, we had the WPC ramp up from SP12, and are now on SP13.
I'm not sure what you get if the first time you had WPC is SP13, but for us I see two default A1 (and A2...B1..C4...etc) containers -- one that has "default" in the name and one that has "def" in the name. From what I see, SP13 WPC uses the one with "def" in the name, not "default". So, make sure you modify the one with "def" in the name.
After you make this change, you should see "swf" in the list inside the container when you are editing a page.
Is this clearer? I wish I could attach a screenshot.

Deactivate automatic content migration for Web Page Composer (WPC) 2

Hi,
on our production system we are using at the moment Web Page Composer for SAP NetWeaver 7.0. Soon we would like to upgrade the system to release 7.3
We have now already set up the content for the new Web Page Composer on a pre-production system. After the production system is upgraded to the new release, it is planned that we will transport the content for the new Web Page Composer from the pre-production to the production system.
As far as I know, the content of the old Web Page Composer gets automatically migrated during the upgrade of the production system. Due to the reason we will the use content of the pre-production system, the automatic migration step is not necessary anymore during the upgrade.
Is there any configuration option that allows us to disable the automatic migration of old Web Page Composer content?
Best regards
Mario

Regarding the feedback of the SAP support, it is not possible to deactivate the automatic content migration for the Web Page Composer.

Commangroup of web content explorer of web page composer

HI, I have created a self webform for web page composer. Now I want to have it as new command when you choose new in the web content explorer. I have created two commands, one for add and one for edit. My problem is that I do not know in what command group I have add my commands in order to see my new webform.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks.
Regards.

Did you use the right prefixes and suffixes? Then it should be available without further configuration in the menus.
Edit command:
As the alias, enter the name of the resource type with the prefix wpc_ and the suffix _edit.
New command
As the alias, enter the name of the resource type with the prefix wpc_ and the suffix _new.
Check this documentation to be on the right way:

Showing Visual composer iviews within Web Page Composer (wpc)?

I am able to integrate KM iviews from the PCD into my web page composer pages, but when I try showing Flex 2 iviews generated by Visual Composer the flash runs on top of everything else on the page. The flash is simply put at page coordinates 0 x 0 whatever page region you try to put it in.
This is if iview isolation methold is set to embedded. If iview isolation method is set to URL then nothing is shown as the region is simply collapsed as if the content wasn't there.
I know there is a limitation to using Web Dynpro iviews with WPC pages, but the documentation says nothing about Visual Composer iviews.
Tips?
Henning Strand

Fixed by choosing fixed height for the iview (pcd config) and keeping isolation method set to URL.
This is as opposed to integrating KM iviews (document lists) where isolation method should be set to embedded and height kept to automatic.
Cheers
Henning

Web page composer maximize button

On a pcd page properties the expand / collapse button can be controlled not sure how the same can be performed with a web page composer page

Hi Vijayalakshmi,
An entry point provider makes one or more folders available as links that you can access from a central point.
Please refer to this.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/f6/da3340284e7a56e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
In this context as soon as you create an entry point, you can upload site specific/ global content and images or documents into these folders
Let me know if you still have any questions on it.

Migration of an existing web site to Web Page Composer

Hello,
I am investigating the options and the feasibility of the migration of an existing web site to a Web Page Composer (WPC) site. The web resources of the site can easily be copied to KM and used afterwards in WPC containers. However, they can neither be integrated to the WPC site navigation nor edited through the WPC UI. For example, only WPC Web Page or Web Sites can be WPC navigation nodes.
Has anyone ever done or tried such a migration? Do you know where I could find a description (or the javadocs) of the WPC API? Any suggestions or hints will be much appreciated.
Thank you
Youlian Dimitrov

Hi Youlian.
If I understand correctly you have rebuilt only a few hundreds of the old pages using WPC forms. Did you do this manually or you have found a way of migrating them programmatically?
Yes, we did it manually for a two reasons:
1. short timetable;
2. 20 intranet sites with variety of used technologies and tools, styles, navigation structures.
Did you leave the rest of the pages as HTML (non-WPC) files?
Yes. But we imported them into KM.
Does it mean that you have implemented only part of the navigation structure through the WPC/portal navigation?
Yes and no.
Firstly, in our case it would be a bad idea to bring all legacy, sometimes cluttered, navigation structure to a new platform as is.
Secondly, keeping in mind that in a common scenario portal already has own top level navigation you should carefully decide how deep is your site navigation structure will be.
Finally, migration it is a good time for information architecture redesign based on standards and guidelines.
Assuming that you have adjusted properly the links to all resources, have you encountered any particular navigation or display issues following this approach?
I could remember two limitations concerning a navigation:
1. you should avoiding links to navigation nodes inside non-wpc html files, because in this case a target page opens without DLN;
2. first linked non-wpc html page, which placed outside wpc container, should be opened in new window.
As for design, all our display issues caused by inline styles within source html files.
Did you notice any noticeable performance degradation after the migration?
We didn't have any degradation of performance. However, it is highly individual and depends on your portal infrastructure.

Aliaksandr Zhukau
