Integration with url iview

Hi everyone,
I have a web application and Portal and My aim is this two systems integration using url iview but I don't want to use Application Integrator.I want to use only URL iview with url parameters. My wish is to enter URL Parameter = uname(static) and Value = portaluid(This value should be get dynamically from portal).Consequently,How can I get dynamically portal userid in the url iview value.Is that possible?

Hi Mehmet,
Is there a reason you don't want to use application integrator? Because it is quite simple to create what you want using application integrator.
I don't think URL iView supports dynamic parameters...
Check out the Howto document for application integrator here:

JScript error in Application integrated by URL iView

Hi All,
I've got a problem with integrating an application in the portal by using an URL iView in popup-mode. When opened, a Javascript error is shown indicating that a certain object under "parent." can't be accessed by the application. I suspect that is because the portal doesn't really open a blank popup window but adds its own code on top of the page. Unfortunately we can't alter the code since it's a third party application.
The iView is set to "display in separate window" (= popup) and I played around with every single option in the "Web Page Area" category - and most of the other options available in the iView editor that seemed to make sense.
When clicking "preview" in the iView editor the application always works perfectly in the popup that appears. But I can see from the looks of the URL that the application is called in a different way when clicking "preview". It's not a portal URL then - it's being called directly.
Is there any way to create an URL iView that simply opens an URL as a popup without any portal frames or portal code added - just like the "preview" button does?
Thanks a lot,
Jens

Hi Daniel,
first of all thanks a lot for trying to recreate my scenario.
I created a test role and added cnn.com as an URL iView just so that we are both talking about the same thing. No problem there - the portal redirects and the URL reads "cnn.com".
I did the same with our application in question (all iView options to default except for "Open in New Window"). There it doesn't work, the site just loads partially and then stops due to a JScript error. Again, not so if I just click "Preview" in the iView editor.
We're on 2004s SP9
Here's what I think happens:
When I navigate to "View --> Source" in Internet Explorer (be it CNN or be it our application) there's a lot of portal code with an IFRAME at the bottom:
<IFRAME src='http://myapplication.company.com/' frameBorder=0 style='WIDTH:100%' height='100%' id='isolatedWorkArea' name='isolatedWorkArea'></IFRAME>
CNN doesn't mind but it seems that the JS-programming of our application gets confused because the application is not the topmost element in the DOM hierarchy (instead it's just inside a full size IFRAME surrounded by an invisible portal page).
Is there any way to get rid of this code? As I said, I already tried the various iView-options...
Thanks a lot,
Jens

Problem with URL iView regarding fetch mode and SSO to non-sap webapps

Hi,
I have created an URL iView which opens an internal webapp. When the fetch mode is set to client-side the page is displayed for the user. But when I set the fetch mode to server-side, the page cannot be displayed by the user.
No proxy is needed. I tried to open the wepapp direcly on the portal server without any problem. Are there any additional points to be considered?
On the other hand I want to realize SSO to this webapp (form based authentication) with user mapping. Is it correct, that I have to user server-side fetch mode, when I want to use the POST request method?
Thanks ahead,
Bernd

Yes.

Have a look at System Administration - System Configuration - Service Configuration - Applications - com.sap.portal.ivs.httpservice
This is used to do the Server side fetch.

Client Eventing Problem with URL Iview

Hi,
I am new to EP and have a basic client eventing question. We are trying to integrate a URL Iview from a partner product with a standard Iview downloaded from Iviewstudio. This standard Iview is capable of handling client events from other Iviews in the standard package. We want to re-use this Iview with the same event (same functionality) to be able to handle events from the partner URL Iview.
The partner Iview and our portal are on different servers.
We are using the following Javascript but it doesnt seem to raise the event.
EPCM.storeClientData('urn:com.sap.bor:BUS0010','objid',LocId));
EPCM.storeClientData('urn:com.sap.bor:BUS0010','AllKeys','objid');
EPCM.raiseEvent('urn:com.sap.bor:BUS0010','select','','/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/...'
We were able to debug and find that the data was being stored in the Data Bag. However the event is not being raised at all. It seems that it just gets stuck somewhere in the Raise event. We even put a javascript alert after the raise event but it doesnt seem to reach there at all.
Could you give me a few pointers as to what the problem might be.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
let's have a look at two quotes of the PDK documentation.
"Using the EPCF from your JavaScript, you can send messages to JavaScript code embedded in other iViews."
"Isolated iViews are iViews that are not inlined into a portal page, but referenced using an IFRAME. To make the EPCF available in such iViews, the EPCF JavaScript as well as the EPCF applet are included into each generated frame."
From my point of view, this only can work automatically with content provided by the portal.
Therefore, this can't work with isolated URL iViews generated with the wizards. Imagine a google iView, running in an iFrame. Google is called by the portal, but it's simply standard google HTML output - displayed in the portal.
To provide the capability of the EPCF, the epcf javascript file has to be included in the "partner URL iView"'s source. I tried this and it worked. However, this is not a highly sophisticated solution
If the partner iView's server is running in a different domain, there are further issues to be considered (keyword: java script origin policy)
If anybody has corrections or can provide a good solution, don't hesitate.

EP 6 to EP 7 with URL Iview

Hello All
We are implementing Travel and Expense on EP 7 with ECC 6.0 as the back end. This is the Finance box. We have a separate HR box, ECC 5.0 using EP 6.0.
We would like to have users logon to the HR/ESS portal, click on Travel and Expenses and be sent to the EP 7 portal to enter expenses. We would like for this to happen in another screen. We are able to authenticate and display the iview in another screen which is desired. We can even do a preview of the URL Iview in EP 6 and access everything we need.
The problem is when the user logs onto the ESS portal, clicks on Travel and expense. The new screen is generated, EP 7 with our options is displayed. When you select a Service the system hangs and nothing is displayed. I have noticed that the EP6 url is in the Address field in the browser. Can anyone give me any hints as to what we are missing? Anything would be appreciated
Points will be awareded!!!!
Thanks
Ronnie

Multi-language with URL-iViews

hi folks,
I have the following little problem:
Our EP is mostly based on URL-iViews to static HTML-sites in german. Now, we are planning to extend the EP with an english Version. The Users should see the portal in the language they choose in the portal personalization menu.
My first thought was to use the portal-content-translation but this doesn't work for URL-iViews, as there is almost no text to be translated.
Now, my idea is to put a little script between the portal and the HTML-sites that checks the chosen language and redirects the user to the specific version.
The Problem is, I have no idea how to do that.
It would be really nice if anyone could tell me how to do this or maybe you have a better solution for my problem.
Thank you in advance for your efforts.
Kind regards
Norbert

Hello Michael,
unfortunately that doesn't work.
If I put an URI like http://yourcontentserver.com/<request.language>/content1.html
in the URI file of the URL-iView Editor and after that on preview I get the following error: page could not be found
When I use a PHP-Script to catch the variable like http://yourcontentserver.com/index.php?lang=<request.language>
I can't put it like that in the URI field cause I can't save it.
When I use the URL-parameter fields and enter "lang" and "<Request.Language>" I get the following URL as an result:
http://yourcontentserver.com/index.php?lang=%3CRequest.Language%3E
As you can see, the variable isn't "translated".
Maybe you could I didn't understand you right?

EP7 SP11 new behavior with url iview launching external apps

We have a simple URL iView that we deployed to open Lotus Notes (notes:///bookmark.nsf). When we use this in EP7 SP10 it launches the external Notes client on the end user's PC and leaves the navigation area of the portal blank white.
When we launch the same URL iView in EP7 SP11, we get an error page in the navigation window that says:
     Navigation to the webpage was canceled
     What you can try:
      - Retype the address.
The Notes client still launches, but we'd like to get rid of this new error page that the support pack stack brought us.... Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks!
Rich

Hi,
Using the url in IE works fine. It seems to work everywhere but in the portal menu.
I have the appintegrator in the back of my mind, and will start to have a look at it. We are also considering a OSS message - this must be a bug in the system as far as I can see.

Code for URL iView.. Please guide :)

Hello All,
Need to create an application which consists of a drop-down list & URL iView.
Depending upon the URL mentioned in the drop downlist, that particular URL iView should open.
Option -> The Drop-down list may or may not be in 2 seperate iViews.
I also need to exhibit the Capture fnctionality while coding/showing the URL iViews.
I would appreciate if you please guide me to how should I proceed & with URL iView APIs.
Awaiting Reply.
Thanks and Warm Regards,
Ritu

Ritu,
Split the webpage into two frames.
Frame1: Dropdown that you will dynamically populate. This will have to be coded using http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/09/9c0e41a346ef6fe10000000a1550b0/content.htm.
Next insert java script into your page so that when one of these links is selected, specifically the onChange event, the other frame gets refreshed with the webpage that you would like to have. This page gives a good example of onChange.

URL iView - missing feature?

Hello,
I've got a problem with URL iView. How can I capture a part of some web side into my Iview, if there is no 'browse/capture' function in URL iView Editor?

you cannot. At least not with your combination. BUT: You can again with SP4, see https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/wlg/669.

Dynamically change URL iView link

Hi,
I have a requirement like this:
Button1 would open an external link from Portqal
Button2 would open a KM document from KM
Button3 would open a KM folder
In future the link type of these button can change.
These external link, KM document location and KM folder location are read from a properties file and are subject to change.
Here is my Approach
I have created a separate URL iViews for testing purpose and tested that with URL iView, it is possible to open:
External link in the format of http://www.<link>.com
KM Folder in the format /irj/go/km/navigation/documents/..../<Destination Folder> , &
KM document in the format /irj/go/km/docs/documents/..../<Destination File>
I have now created a single URL iView pointing to a default URL(google), and marked the URL iView parameter Forced URL - Enabled as True
The plan is to use this single iView for invoking any type of links - be it external, KM Folder or KM document
In WebDynpro, I have tried using the following code to call this iView:
WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(("ROLES://portal_content/demo_role/universal_url_iview",
WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_EXTERNAL,
WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.ALLOW_DUPLICATIONS,
"forcedURL="+dynamicURL);
Not Working! Always opening the default google link.
WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(("ROLES://portal_content/demo_role/universal_url_iview",
WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_EXTERNAL,
WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.ALLOW_DUPLICATIONS,
"app.forcedURL="+dynamicURL);
Not Working! Always opening the default google link.
where dynamicURL= either http://www.<link>.com or /irj/go/km/navigation/documents/..../<Destination Folder> or /irj/go/km/docs/documents/..../<Destination File>
Am I missing any configuration or the code is wrong?

You really need to open the url within an iView? Oo
IWDWindow window=wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().
.createExternalWindow("http://www.google.co.in","Google-search for an email address",false);
window.setWindowSize(100,100);
window.open();
or
String linkToBeOpen = "https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn";
IWDWindow window =
wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(
linkToBeOpen,
"My window title");
window.show();
or
import com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.portal.WDPortalUtils;
import com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.navigation.api.WDPortalNavigation;
if ( ! WDPortalUtils.isRunningInPortal() ) { // standalone mode
wdThis
 .wdGetExternalcompInterfaceViewController()
 .wdFirePlugGoToUrl(urlobject);
} else { // portal iView mode
WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(
 ... /*set of parameters that I do not understand ;) */

IView communication between URL iView containing asp pages

Could someone tell/show me if its possible to have iView to iView communication between URL iView's containing asp pages? I've seen some reference to using the EPCF and that it must be included in the asp pages but I'm confused... Client Eventing Problem with URL Iview
Where is the EPCF? so I can place a copy with my asp pages? Has anyone ever done this before? Is it possible?
Thanks.

Problem with JavaScript in URL iView

Hi,
I am facing a problem with javascript when i am trying to access my application through URL iView. In the javascript window.top is used to access the frames in the window. But the EP is not recognizing it as valid. what exctly the problem and please suggest me a solution.
Ashok.

Hi,,
thanks for the quick reply. But what i asked was different. I will put it in different way. I have deployed a application in Web Application Server and trying to access it through URL iView. My application is pure J2EE application with html,jsp and JS files. In javascript we used window.top property of the java script which is working fine MS IE. The problem is window.top is a IE specific property which is not having any equallent open standerd so EP is throwing a java script error. As I know the only possible solution for this problem is inherating IE rendaring capabilities to iView(i.e iFrame). is there any way to do that?

Caching problem for iViews with URL parameters

Hi,
We have a big problem with iView caching.
Our objective is to use SAP Netweaver Portal 2004s & External Facing portal for a public Internet Portal
For performances reasons we need to activate iviews caching on the principal iviews. But the problem is that a page called with different parameters generates exactly the same html result
example --> The display of a news item:
/irj/portal/anonymous/index.htm?rid=/news_123.xml
gives the same cached result as
/irj/portal/anonymous/index.htm?rid=/news_456.xml
The caching level is "shared" because all users are anonymous !
The iview caching seems to be occuring on component (iView) level and not on URL level
Can someone help ?
At the moment we have performances of 10 seconds for a page, and with caching it's becoming less than 1 second, so we really need the caching !!!
Thanks
Laurent

Hello
I hope you get your answer since, nevertheless it could help other.
Have you tried to put the cache level to "session" instead of "user" or "shared" at the iview level?
Regards
Benoit
