Keeping track of portal content and transports

Hi,
We have a DEV portal Ep 6.0 sp19. We would now like to setup QA and PRD systems and need a way to manage content between portals.
The document 'Best Practice - Transporting NetWeaver Portal Content' suggests using a Word document to keep track of content changes and transports.

Is there a SAP template that can be used as a starting point for such a document?

Hi schlueterd!
Build a small applet extending Runnable, ie: a threaded one. Each time its "run" method loops the applet will read an small input file and updates "displaying score" component.
Of course you'll need to update this input file as soon as possible.
You'll use few classes and a good reference is any applet displaying scrolling text (search for open source in the web).
I hope it helps.

Transporting/Deploying Portal Content and Delta Linked Objects

I researching the best way to trasport/deploy changed ESS Portal content from sandbox to D>Q. I have become familiar with the few changes my co. needs to deploy part of ESS. I have read articles that say it is wrong to modify the "Content Provided by SAP". The recommendation appears to be "use delta link objects". I created the necessary delta links in a new directory.
How do I get the delta link objects to display instead of the sap source objects? I this primarily related to how the portal is configured or how the content is managed?
I'm really sorry about the general question (in advance) but this stuff is new for me and I'm essentially looking for some good direction here.
Thanks,
James

Hi James,
Yes exactly right. You should create your own PCD folder under Portal Content to store your objects. How you structure that is entirely up to you, however in my experience I have seen two ways
1. First by Function or Dept (e.g. Finance, Logistics, HR) then by technical object (iView, role etc...)
2. First by Technical Object (e.g. iViews, Roles, Worksets etc...) then by function or dept or region (Finance, HR etc...)
Number 1 makes more sense to me. Just some other tips when it comes to creating PCD content:
1. Put everything in your own namespace (e.g. com.mycompany) that way it is easy to separate from SAP content using filters.
2, Come up with a logical naming standard so you can easily identify content by group, function and technical type (e.g. for an iView you might name it whoswho with the prefix com.mycompany.hr.ivu resulting in a name com.mycompany.hr.ivu.whoswho)
2. Don't give PCD folders any prefix (e.g. com.mycompany) as it ends up elongating the resulting URLs unnecessarily and you can run into problems down the track.
Hope this helps you.

Portal Content Translation - Transport

Hello
We created some worklist in Portal Content Translation to translate the texts in roles, worksets and iViews from English (source) to German (end user).
Now, we need to transport these worklists to the Test Portal and we tried to follow the steps as described in the help below:
[Performing Language Transports|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/f8/a4c0b28ab7324d835176fdbbb28c3e/frameset.htm]
It did not work:
1) We created a Package with "text_only" property, filled it with the worklists and selected the language to be transported in "Language Transport" menu, but the deployment failed.
2) We created a Package without "text_only" property, filled it with the worklists and did not select any language to be transported. Once imported, the worklists were in the Test Portal, but the translation to german was not in them.
3) We created a Package similar to the one in step 2, but selected the language to be transported in the "Language Transport" menu. The result was the same we had in step 2.
So, what must we do to transport not only the worklists, but also the translations created in the Development Portal?
Thanks in advance, regards!
Jon

Hi,
I'm not sure if I did understand you correctly, but it seems that you want to transport the translation worklist? To transport the translated content, you'll have to do
1. create a translation worklist and assign the PCD objects (iviews, pages, roles)
2. translate the content
3. publish the translated content
4. create a transport package containing the PCD objects translated and transport this package (eg: text_only).

Any table keep track of Sales order and relevant IDOC

hi all,
Do we have any table to keep track Sales order and its relevant IDOC in the system?
A list of sales order# given by user, from the list, we would like to find a faster way to get the corresponding IDOC.
thanks.

Hi Reetha,
EDIDS table would have the IDOC Number & sales order number. Parameter 2 is the field in EDIDS which would have the sales order number.
I understand that this table would have many records but i dont think any other table would have the above combination. If you get any other table, then pls. do update @ it on this thread.
Thanks,
Best regards,

BPC : Keeping track of previous entries and nullify them

Hi,
i have a situation, assuming i have entered a value of 10 for account(sales1), entity(asia), category(budget). then i realized i have made a mistake, and that the value 10 is for account(sales2), entity(asia), category(budget).
By doing things the normal way, there are 2 data created in the database. But is there a feature within BPC that allows me to keep track of the first entry that i have done, so that i can nullify (or zerorize) the entry?
This is assuming account(sales1) and account(sales2) fall under different parents, and that my input schedule is a single row input schedule (i.e. not your typical large input schedules where you can cover a lot of different dimension members)
thanks in advance for any feedback possible.
cheers

The best tool in BPC to review the inputs is the Audit functionality. If you have this enabled and have the appropriate security, you would be able run a report to see the input value and string, who entered the data. From this information you would be able to resend a nulling amount to the DB and resend the original amount.
The only other options, which are requested frequently are for validations. The NW version allows you to build the validations into the back-up to test for conditions prior to sending. In the MS version, the validations are accounts in the application account dimension, or it could be (this is not easy) an additional application that allows for only valid combinations, defined by someone, to be available in input and report frameworks using evdre and suppression. Hopefully to limit your chances of selecting a bad account.
But unless the Audit functionality is invoked for each category, and Office functions, I am afraid you will not have any tracking mechinism.
Hope this helps.

Keep track of user logins and time

Is there any way to track users on our xserve quad xeon...such as login date and times?

Hello, tinafromrandolph, and welcome to the AppleBoards,
What services are you interested in keeping track of? AFP, for instance, logging can be set to monitor anything from login/out times to file actions.
You would need to parse the log data in some way if you were looking to make a regular report or something like that, but that's true of about any log file you want to investigate. It largely depends on what service(s) you want to monitor and how detailed their logging is, but a lot of stuff is or can be logged.
If you are more specific there may be more detailed help people can provide.

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?

Portal content not transporting. Yellow triangle with exclamation shows.

Hi,
I cannot move 2 new folders and 10 iViews from my DEV portal to my QC portal. When I try, the package shows up in QC, but when I look at the package, a yellow triangle with a exclamation point inside shows to the immediate left of the items to move. And if I select any one of the objects to get properties, I get the errror "Failed to get Property Editor! null". Further, I cannot create the folders manually on QC, because it get an error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/admin.templates/iviews/editors/com.sap.portal.defaultFolderWizard
Component Name : com.sap.portal.admin.defaultwizards.DefaultFolderWizard
SQLException is not transient, error code = 1, sql state = 23000 ORA-00001: unique constraint (SAPEP2DB.SYS_C00123629) violated .
Exception id: 12:08_16/03/07_0005_6336351
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
One of the iViews is built from a custom PAR. When I first attempted to import this package, the PAR did not exist. I have since loaded the PAR.
It seems that the folders exist "somewhere" in the portal, but I cannot see them in the "content admin" mode.
What can I do to resolve this?
Thank you for any help!
Kevin

This has been solved. I noticed that other portal developers could see the content without error. As it turns, what I had to do was refresh cache on the server, and clear my browser cache. Once I did this, everything appeared as normal.
Thanks for the help.

Help keeping track of originals, thumbnails, and modified photos

My free hard drive space has dwindled to about 3GB (out of a 100-ish GB drive) because I have about 1100 high-resolution photos. The challenge: copy lesser-used photos to an external drive, but keep often-viewed photos on the internal drive. Problem is
1) I can't figure out how to differentiate between originals, thumbnails, and modified versions to know what to move (or not).
2) Do I have to create two different iPhoto libraries, one for/on the external drive and one on the internal drive？
There has GOT to be an easier way. iPhoto is eating my hard drive up but I'm worried about losing photos or sacrificing accessibility for storage space. Help!

revsue
See my answer to your other post.
1) I can't figure out how to differentiate between originals, thumbnails, and modified versions to know what to move (or not).
Don't differentiate. Period. Never root around in the iPhoto Library Folder - any time you do you risk damaging your library.
2) Do I have to create two different iPhoto libraries, one for/on the external drive and one on the internal drive？
Yes you do, and it's not difficult at all.
Remember: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss

Keeping track of parts selected and approved already

I have the following tables
create table table_one
       table_id varchar2(40),
       location_place varchar2 (100)
);made using the following insert statement
insert into table_one
    (table_id, location_place)
values
    ('g1223', 'NEWYORK');
insert into table_one
    (table_id, location_place)
values
    ('g1224', 'BOSTON');
insert into table_one
    (table_id, location_place)
values
    ('g1225', 'DALLAS');
insert into table_one
    (table_id, location_place)
values
    ('g1226', 'NEWYORK');
insert into table_one
    (table_id, location_place)
values
    ('g1226', 'PARIS');
insert into table_one
    (table_id, location_place)
values
    ('g1226', 'ABIDJAN');
    now my question is, I have the idea in my mind already but the syntax is the main problem since I am still a beginer in oracle. I can do this easily in visual.studio.net but I have to do it first in oracle to test it out and see whether it works.
question
I am trying to create a simple interface whereby from the above table, three table_id will be displayed and basically what happens is the user has to look for those three table_id physically in the real world. Now if those table_id has been found, the user is able to enter a simple input like Y or 1 which signify found and N or 0 signify not found. Now once the input are entered, those table_id are transferred to a new table called table_two. see code
create table table_two
       table_id varchar2(40),
       location_place varchar2 (100)
);THe idea of using a table_two is to prevent the same table_id from being picked and looked for all the time. Instead, what is meant to happen is basically everyday a new table_id from table_one is going to be picked and the user will search for them phyiscally and input 1 or Y, this has to occurs so that in a year all table_id are searched for physically. Note also, sometimes the user might not be able to get to all table_id picked for that day. Also, table_one techincally has up to 300,000 table_ids. These are just samples I included. My question though. How can this simple interface be implemented. I will appreciate any help. Thank you

I just noticed your table actually appears to use a combination of table_id and location_place as its primary key. Is this correct, does your primary key consist of these 2 columns, or is there a different column that by itself is the primary key? As is, my suggested solution won't work, but if you can tell me this, I can give you an example that will work.
If I assume you use both columns as your primary key, here are 2 options for you:
CREATE TABLE     table_three
(     table_id     VARCHAR2(40)     NOT NULL
,     location_place     VARCHAR2(100)     NOT NULL
,     date_found     DATE
INSERT INTO     table_three
VALUES ('g1226', 'NEWYORK', SYSDATE-10);Then use the following query to populate your list of table_id/locations to check:
SELECT     t1.*
FROM     table_one t1
,     table_three t3
WHERE     t1.table_id          = t3.table_id (+)     -- (+) for outer join, since we want to include all values in table_one, whether or not there's a record for that value in table_three
AND     t1.location_place     = t3.location_place (+)
AND     (     t3.date_found     <= ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE, -12)
     OR     t3.date_found     IS NULL
;(given the one record inserted in table_three, this query will return 5 records)
Or, if you want a record of when something was checked and whether it got a 'Y' or an 'N' (instead of the above, which assumes you only care if something is a 'Y'), you can use:
CREATE TABLE     table_four
(     table_id     VARCHAR2(40)     NOT NULL
,     location_place     VARCHAR2(100)     NOT NULL
,     date_checked     DATE
,     found_flag     CHAR(1)
INSERT INTO     table_four
VALUES ('g1226', 'NEWYORK', SYSDATE-10, 'Y');Then use the following query to populate your list of table_id/locations to check:
SELECT     t1.*
FROM     table_one     t1
WHERE     NOT EXISTS     (
               SELECT     1
               FROM     table_four     t4
               WHERE     t4.table_id          = t1.table_id
               AND     t4.location_place     = t1.location_place
               AND     found_flag          = 'Y'
               AND     date_checked          > ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE, -12)
;And, if you do have multiple people checking these items, John's suggestion is really good.

Keeping track of focus gains and losses

In my application, I have a text field that a user can type in an artist/title and search a music library for the query. This application is for a touchscreen so I've included a popup keyboard for the user since no keyboard will be available to use.
The idea behind it is the user touches the text field and gives it focus. Once focus is given to the text box, ther user will then be able to touch/click a JButton that will pop up a keyboard panel. I would like to pass to the keyboard panel which text field last had focus so as they touch the on-screen keys, it will type text into the last focused text field.
I read over the tutorial for using focus listeners and I understand how that works, but how can I go about getting the object that last had focus?
I'm thinking along the lines of have a focus listener on the JButton that displays the keyboard:
// This is called when the user touches the button to display the keyboard
if (artistText.focusLost)
keyboardFocus("artist");
}Obviously the above code isn't valid, but it's how I'm trying to explain myself. keyboardFocus method will have code to setText() to the artistText text field. I can figure that one out.

I was testing something before you replied and I was wondering if it would be practical.
Here is the partial code on my GUI class:
// Calls the keyboardFocus() method whenever focus is lost on the field
// and passes the component name
    private void titleTextFocusLost (java.awt.event.FocusEvent evt)
        keyboardFocus(titleText);
// Takes the passed component and stores it in a public variable
    private void keyboardFocus (JTextField comp)
        lastFocus = comp;
// Variable that stores that compoent that last had focus
    public static JTextField lastFocus;Here is a snippet from my Keyboard class:
// Then the Q button is pressed, the letter Q is set as the text to the last
// JTextField of focus
    private void qKeyActionPerformed (java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt)
        GUI.lastFocus.setText ("Q");
    } If this isn't practical, I'd definate be willing to change it, but what do you think?

Need to keep track of URL and a count variable

Can anyone suggest the best way to keep track of a URL and a count variable associated with each URL. I have started using 2 List objects. When I add a URL I also add a 1 in the count List Object. I am using List Objects because I must be able to sort them and search through them.
Can anyone verify that I am going about this the correct way?
Thanks

I would probably use a TreeMap that referenced the counter.

How do I keep track of stats and subscriptions of my podcast? Mine was just added today.

My podcast, The Big Seance Podcast, was just added to iTunes today. Other than keeping track of stats through my host (Libsyn), how can I keep track of subscriptions, ratings, and downloads through itunes? Thanks!

Hi Patrick,
You will not get any stats from Apple / iTunes. You need to get that info from your libsyn account.
If you want to see the number of people consuming via iTunes or the Podcasts App (AppleCoreMedia) - you will need to have the advanced stats - App 400 or greater level account in Libsyn.
That is the only way to get the info you are looking for.
