Links in iView

Hi all
I have a requirement(EP 7.0) where i am displaying a page in content area with 2columns and 2rows when clicked on "Reports" link under Detailed Navigation, this works fine. But in each cell i need to give couple of links(report links). When user clicks on a link that will display report in the content area. We are not using KM. Could some one give me a solution pls.................
Thank you

Hi,
You will have to implement the rendering of the links needed by yourself, using HTMLB for example. If clicking on the link should bring up a complete new page into the content area, create this page within the PCD (for example as a page within the role, but hidden in navigation) and then navigate by using EPCF to this page when someone clicks on the link (logic happens then on client side).
Hope it helps

Link to iview or page in content area

hello,
can i have links to iviews or pages in the content area? if yes, how do i do that?
thx
irina
points will be given for any answer that helps

Hi Galan,
One way that you can link to an iview is by using what's called a Quick Link. Open up the properties to the iview that you want to link to, give a name to your iview in the 'Quick Link' field, and then save your changes. Then, use a url like this to access your quick link:
https://portal.mydomain.com/irj/portal/MyQuickLink
For example, if we named our Quick Link 'MyApplication', our url would look like this:
https://portal.mydomain.com/irj/portal/MyApplication
Give it a try. I hope this helps!

Links List iView: Hiding the "Organize Entries" Command

Hi all!
I am using the Links List iView to display some corporate links. This iView shows an "Organize Entries" control to update the list by default. However, in my requirement, i need to hide this command from the end user. I have taken a look on the Layout Sets involved and have not found this control; Also, i've seen on the Help System that if i change the permissions on the folder, the iView hides this control, but i've tried that and it didn't work.
Do you know how can i hide this control?
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Thiago

Hi Thiago,
I am not sure if I understood your question correctly.
When you click on 'Advanced Copy', you have several options: you can add a prefix or a suffix to the name of the LayoutSet or you can replace a prt of the name. You can find more information on this issue on help.sap.com: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/30/562cbf45c5b440a2885877a1c230d5/frameset.htm
Is this what you have been looking for?

Customizing Link Lists (or Links List) iView

Our Links List iView holds large number of subfolders and links.
By default, the iView shows links and first level subfolders with their links and subfolders.
Otherwords second level subfolders are 'open'.
The problem is that because there are so many links, the iView height is not big enough to show first level links and folders (scrolling required).
Is there any way to set Links List iView so that it doesn't open second level folders unless users click on them?
Thanks!

Hi,
You can use image map to navigate for km. But you can not do that you want. To do that you can modify this image map collection renderer.

How to redirect Help link for iview not for portal masterhead

Could someone please let me know how to post help document to the help link in the iview? It is located at the top left corner within the iview. This is not to redirect the portal masterhead. Thanks.

Information about link WebTemplate - iView

At my current customer a Portal is implemented. Within the Portal Content they linked WebTemplates to iViews. This has not been documented anywhere. I'm now looking for a simple way to get an overview of all the WebTemplates used within the Portal (and preferable within which iView) without having to open all iViews. I was hoping this kind of information was stored somewhere in a table in the SAP backend, but have not succeeded in gathering this information.
Can anybody help me please?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

check this documentation; check directory configuration settings and particularly its various chapters on Directory Server Admin, Dir Entries Admin, Dir Schema Admin, etc.

How is Define Links on Confirmation Page-link list key linked to iviews?

Hi All,
Although there is no ESS in MSS as such in our new portal (hompage framework), we have configured it as much as we could, so that it was similar to the previous ESS in MSS. We have used a copy of the ESS address iview for the ESS in MSS emergency contact.
The trouble is that the links on the confirmation page are trying to resolve to ESS rather than resloving to an option in MSS. E.G. the Go to Address Overview link is trying to resolve to the address overview screen in ESS rather than MSS.
I have checked the parameters on the view and there does't appear to be anywhere that you can assign the lnk list key. Similarly I have checked the resources and the services parameters and have nowhere to put this key.
So my question is, how exactly is the link list key attached to an iview? In our case the iviews are in 2 different PCD's so how can I create a zlink list key and assign it to the copied address iview?
Many thanks,
Liz.

The confirmation links are defined in V_T7XSSSERLNK - as far as I can see they are linked to services not iviews
defined in HpF
Also "ESS in MSS" is available as "Self-Service for My Employee" in MSS Related Activities for certain SAP releases

Making pdf content downloadable via link in Iview problem

Hi,
I have been having problems with the following scripting code, where I have a link that when clicked makes a PDF file stored in the KM downloadable to the users local area.The file does download to the users desktop but when opened, the content is corrupt. So when a user clicks the view link the PDF document is loaded into the browser iframe with no issues. However when they click the download link they get the attached error.The file can be viewed properly through an iframe in an iview on the portal but when downloaded via this script 'token missing' errors occur.
I have pasted the code and would appreciate any help offered.
Thanks
Rebecca
pResponse.write("<a onClick=\"blur(); downloadDoc('" + fileIds<i> + "'); return false;\" href=\"javascript: void(0);\">");
                                   pResponse.write("<img src=\"" + docURL + downloadGif + "\" border=0 width=\"16\" height=\"20\" alt=\"Download\"></a></td>");
                                   pResponse.write("</tr>");
                         pResponse.write("</table>");
Generate the link to use for file downloads
                         IPortalComponentURI componentURI = pRequest.createPortalComponentURI();
                         componentURI.setContextName(downloadPCDPath);
                         String uri = componentURI.toString();
                         pResponse.write("<script>");
                         pResponse.write("function downloadDoc(docToDownload)");
                         pResponse.write("{");
                         pResponse.write("document.getElementById('downprint').src = '" + componentURI.toString() + "?rid=' + docToDownload; ");
                         pResponse.write("}");
                         pResponse.write("</script>");
                         pResponse.write("<script></script>");
                         pResponse.write("<iframe name=\"downprint\" src=\"\" style=\"width: 0; height: 0;\"></iframe>");
                    } //end if
               printStyle(pResponse);
          } catch (AccessDeniedException ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
               mDbUtil.writeException(ex, pResponse );
          } catch (ResourceException ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
               mDbUtil.writeException(ex, pResponse );
          } catch(Exception ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
               mDbUtil.writeException(ex, pResponse );

I am not quite sure what this is supposed to be doing, however, a better method would be to have a custom component which accepts a RID to a resource. This component would then read the content of the PDF (using its bytes) and write these bytes out to the HttpServletResponse output stream. You need to make sure that the HTTP header content-disposition is also set correctly (can't remember exactly what this should be, however, a quick google search should return the correct results).
This should be all you need to do I believe. Let me know if you need any help with this further

Images Links list iview

Hi we want to have an iview that list images but images link, when you click on the image you go to a internal or external link, that is very normally in web:
IMAGE1(internal link1)
IMAGE2(external link2)
IMAGE3(...)
IMAGE4(...)
IMAGE5(...)
We want to have the images and the links in a folder of km,
is possible to do that without developing with standar Iviews or flexible user interface?
in case of we have to develope, we have to read the images and the links of KM, can anyone provide me an example to do that?
Thanks in advanced.
Regards.

Hi,
This code
* Returns contents of a given folder
private IResourceList getFolderContents(String folder){
     // Access relevant resources in the KM
     IResourceList list = null;
     IPortalComponentRequest request = (IPortalComponentRequest)this.getRequest();
     IUser user = (IUser)request.getUser().getUser();
     if(user.isAuthenticated()){
          RID rid = new RID(folder);
          IResourceContext rContext = new ResourceContext(user);
          try{
               IResourceFactory rFactory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
               IResource resource = rFactory.getResource(rid, rContext);
               if(resource.isCollection()){
                    ICollection collection = (ICollection)resource;
                    list = collection.getChildren();
          }catch(ResourceException e){
               // You can make this avaiable for debuging
               //myForm.addRawText("<script>alert('ResourceException in getFolderContents()');</script>");
     return list;
}// End Method getFolderContents
will give you the list of all resources in a folder.
This code
IResourceList list = getFolderContents(folder);
IResourceListIterator listIt = list.listIterator();
while(listIt.hasNext()){// Display all valid news items
     IResource res = listIt.next();
     try{
          RID rid = res.getRID();
          displayName = res.getDisplayName();// Resource name
          description = res.getDescription();// Resource description
     }catch(ResourceException rE){
          // You can make this avaiable for debuging
          //myForm.addRawText("<script>alert('ResourceException in doProcessBeforeOutput');</script>");
will call that method and then iterate over all resources grabbing their display names and description properties.
I would simply create a DynPage project for this.
Best regarsd,
Patrick.

Tree Navigation and Link - Open iview in Content Area

Hi,
this is maybe trivial, but I can't find anything about it right now:
I created an iview in Java that shows a custom tree in the detailed navigation area.
Now I have an iview ( a BW apps), that should be behind this link on the inner tree level, and, when clicked, should show up on the inner desktop.
What is the java code that needs to be put into the nav iview to do this? How do I identify the URL that is behind the BW apps that I need to call?

You could also let your custom link in the masthead point to a "quicklink" then you do not have pass any url as parameter you just call as it is and you get what you need.
Do not forget to set the "target" property of the link tag to "_top"
Cheers,
Benjamin

Error when accessing the "Org unit" link from iview "Who's who"

Hi all,
In our ESS/MSS implementation we have come across to a strange error:
In the master iview u201CWhou2019s whou201D when trying to access the link for the org unit we receive the following error:
Service EMPLOYEE_ORGCHART_SERVICE does not exist.
Indeed the respective service does not exists nor the resources. We have ECC 5.0 and EP 7.0. We were unable so far to find the right (or dedicated) resources/services for this.
Any helps are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Eugen

Hi Eugen,
Probably these threads can help you.
Error "Service EMPLOYEE_ORGCHART_SERVICE does not exist." in ESS.

Good Luck!

Portal 6 // Link existing 'iView' to Portal HMTL page

Hi,
I've an HTMl page where all SSO-Systems are kept:
Content Management >> documents >> PortalDocuments >> HTML >> SSOSystems.html
This SSO page is a simple HTML page (box) within the Portal's home page, containing URLs to all linked systems.
I now received a 'ready-to-go' package (*.epa) which I imported to the Portal. The package includes an iView, a Page, a Workset...
I now want to add an URL to the central SSO page which redirects to the iView??? and starts the external application. How to do?
Thank you.

Link between iViews / Design questions

Hello,
we are implementing our first approaches with the enterprise portal. At the moment we only use URL-iViews.
I have some questions:
1. Is it possible to place a link in the html-page in a way, so that i can reach another iView?
I also created a Design-Template, but some things i could not find:
2. How can i prevent, that the portal-favorites area is shown?
3. I also do not want to have the tool-bar with the search field - how can i do this?
4. How can we influence the Detailed-Navigation: I want to fix it, so that it is not possible to hide it, i do not want to have the title visible.
5. I want to hide the bar where the history, forward an back-links are located.
Those things i could not find in the documentation. Thanks for your help and ideas.
Best regards,
André

Hi Andre,
for hiding bar
Goto PCD --> Portal Users --> Standard Portal Users --> Default Framework page
Ticke "Page Title Bar" and Open.Mark property "Show History List" to no
for more details please go through this link

Service Linked to iViews

Hi,
Can you tell me how from an iView i can check which service of ESS it is calling from backend.I can see the iView properties in PCD but cant find out which service at backend its calling.
Regards
Poonam

Hi,
This is the FM which gets called when Homepage Framework is Invoked:
HRXSS_SER_GETMENUDATA
Put a debugger and see what all services are getting called when you open the ESS.
Alternatively when you open the Role first page after the workset will have Menu Area - you can track which Subarea page is added to area page and services added to Subarea Page..
For Example: Employee Self-Service Role - Employee Search Workset - Employee Search page - within the iView you will see Application Parameter which have Menu Area
sap.xss.menuarea=EMPLOYEE_SEARCH_ERP2005&sap.xss.menuargrp=SAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005&sap.xss.menuhdr=SAPDEFAULT
Menu Area = EMPLOYEE_SEARCH_ERP2005
You can go to SPRO - Cross-Application Components - Homepage Framework - Subareas - Assign Subareas to Areas and
Once you get the Subarea you can go to Services - Assign Services to Subarea and see all the services.
Hope this helps.
Cheers-
Pramod
