More Easy Points...Portal Implementations

Hi all,
   I'm looking for information about portal implementations - project plans, staffing for the implementation, lessons learned, etc.
   I will happily award points for the right information.
   Thanks.
Dave

Hi,
You can deploy the portal in stages, for each of which you will need an implementation plan
that is distinct to the landscape.
The following are the key stages in which you plan and implement the portal landscape:
1. Development
The development stage consists of installation of the Portal Platform for content
development.
2. Integration and Testing
Integration and testing stage involves fine-tuning and troubleshooting issues, such as,
validating installations and testing the content developed during the development
stage.
3. Production
In the production phase, you scale the portal and implement high availability solutions.
Since you must deploy the portal in stages, any change implemented after completing the
production stage, such as, applying upgrades, support packages, patches, and other
applications changes the environment.
Regards,
Ameya

Steps to configure R/3 system to Portal implementation

Hi
Please provide steps to configure R/3 system to Portal implementation
when i m opening standard iview in ESS in portal i m getting following runtime error.
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDRuntimeException: Failed to resolve JCO destination name 'SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics_MetaData' in the SLD. No such JCO destination is defined in the SLD.
Please help
Thanks

Hello Bhupinder Singh,
To use ESS/MSS services in Portal follow the following Steps
Maintaining jCo Connections
Use
jCo connections are used in iViews to connect directly to a backend. They are delivered with the portal content and must be activated (configured to access a specific system).
jCo connections have two parts: one with <jCo name>, and the other with suffix <jCo Name>_MetaData. The first one transfers user-specific data within the scenario; the other transfers only the needed metadata. For the jCo with name <jCo name>, SAP Logon Ticket is recommended as an authentication method. For the metadata connection, a user ID and password is needed. A system user created before is sufficient.
Procedure
Within this guide we generically describe the step-by-step procedure for an example connection set. Perform all steps for the following jCos:
u2022     SAP_R3_Financials / SAP_R3_Financials_Metadata
u2022     SAP_R3_HumanResources / SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData
u2022     SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics / SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics_MetaData
u2022     SAP_R3_Travel / SAP_R3_Travel_MetaData
u2022     SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics_MetaDataFIN
1.     Open the Web Dynpro Tool Applications overview page of your SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java: (http://<host>.<domain>:<port>/webdynpro/welcome)
2.     Select the Content Administrator link (or use a direct link, such as http://<host>.<domain>:<port>/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcwdtools/Explorer) and logon with j2ee administrator rights
3.     Choose the Maintain JCo Destinations button.
4.     The available jCos are displayed with a red light, indicating that they are not yet maintained.
5.     In the JCo Destination Details iView, choose the Create button for the jCo you want to create.
6.     In Guided Procedure Section 1: General Data, make the following entries:
Field name     User action and values     Note
Name     <jCo_Name> or <jCo_name>_Metadata     Do not change the client number (for example, 100)
Maximal Pool Size     <keep default value>
Maximum connections     <keep default value>
Connection Timeout (msec.)     <keep default value>
Maximum Waiting Time (msec.)     <keep default value>
7.     Choose Next.
8.     In J2EE Cluster, make the following entries:
Field name     User action and values     Note
Use Local J2EE engine <SID> on <host>     Selected     Keep default values
9.     Choose Next.
10.     In Connection Type u2013 Data Type, make the following entries:
Field name     User action and values     Note
Data Type     Dictionary Meta Data     Dictionary Meta Data selected for <jCo_name>_MetaData; Application Data selected for <jCo_name> maintenance

Logon Group     <select logon group for your SAP ERP HR system>     The values are taken from the technical system list of the SLD
13.     Choose Next.
14.     In Security u2013 User Authentication, make the following entries:
Field name     User action and values     Note
Used Method     <if using <jCo_name>, select Ticket>
<if using <jCo_name>_Metadata, value cannot be changed>
Name     <enter connection user name>     For example, rfcsysuser
Password/Confirm Password     <enter a password>
Language     English
SNC Mode     Off     For more information on SNC Mode, see the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Help.

Hi Ace -
Images can't be uploaded to this forum, but they can be displayed inside your post (inline) by making them accessible on a website. In that case put the url between two exclamation ('!') points, e.g. \!www.apple.com\!. You'll find more formatting info at [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121950].
You can see how your post will appear by clicking the Preview tab above the "Post Message: Reply" editor panel. Another trick that might come in handy: If you want to see how someone else formatted their post, just click Reply, then click the double-quote (") icon just below the Preview tab.
Hope that helps!

Portal implementation on PP/MM/SD modules

Greetings,
I've been working as Portal developer / HR functional using mainly MSS/ESS business package on the past 3 last projects and I had never worked with other module than HCM with Portal before
My manager asked me to help on a new Portal implementation to evaluate development time / resources ... but I really don't have much expertise on other modules regarding Portal development on PP/MM/SD modules, my questions :
- Is there a specific Business package for PP/MM/SD modules?
- Is there a ground zero point / basic documentation regarding portal implementation on these modules?
- What do you recomend me about it?
Thanks in advancce,
André
p.s.: good answers will be rewarded.

Easy ways to implement Zoom functionality

Hello,
I have written a small object orientated graph editor that is made of a custom JPanel and custom JComponents. At the moment, device coordinates and user coordinates are the same, - they correspond. Drawing is done via Graphics2D objects.
Is there an easy way to implement a zoom functionality so that device coordinates and user coordinates remain idetically, by just configuring the device (for example via class GraphicsConfiguration ) - so that MouseEvents and all other coordinates are being calculated and converted automatically (Maybe by changing the devices virtual resolution of 72 dpi to another resolution?)
Any help appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
alex

You have to do much work to implement this. Here is the main method that I coded to implement zoom. The whole package is just too large to post here.
* Implements the zoom in, zoom out or zoom functionality according to
* the string <code>command</code> passed in.
* @param command     the command string, one of the three: zoomin,
*     zoomout, zoom
public void zoom(String command) {
     if(command.equalsIgnoreCase("zoomin")) {
     if(zoomMultiplier+deltZoom > maxZoomMultiplier) return;
          zoomMultiplier = zoomMultiplier+deltZoom;
     } else if(command.equalsIgnoreCase("zoomout")) {
          zoomMultiplier = zoomMultiplier-deltZoom;
          if(zoomMultiplier < minZoomMultiplier)
          zoomMultiplier = minZoomMultiplier;
     } else if(command.equalsIgnoreCase("zoom")) {
          zoomMultiplier = 1.0;
     //Gets the currently visible rectangle's width & height, calculates the new
     //bounds's width & height
     Rectangle rect = getVisibleRect();
     //System.out.println("Contour.zoom getVisibleRect() = "+rect.x+", "+rect.y);
     int newW = (int)((double)rect.width* zoomMultiplier);
     int newH = (int)((double)rect.height* zoomMultiplier);
     //System.out.println("Contour.zoom setBounds = "+newW+", "+newH);
     * Enlarges the component's bounds here & Graph2D.paint() will
     * use this bounds to redraw the contour.
     setBounds(new Rectangle(0, 0, newW, newH));
     //Focuses the currently contents as much as possible
     this.scrollRectToVisible(rect);
     * Changing the size of a scroll pane's client is a two-step process.
     * First, set the client's preferred size. Then, call revalidate on the
     * client to let the scroll pane know that it should update itself and
     * its scroll bars.
     //Update client's preferred size because the area taken up
     //by the graphics has gotten larger or smaller.
     //this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(rect.width, rect.height));
     this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(newW, newH));
     //Let the scroll pane know to update itself and its scrollbars.
this.revalidate();
Here is some fields used in the method above and the class the method belongs to:
* The multiplier when the zoom in functionality should be carried out.
public double zoomMultiplier = 1.0;
* The increment for each zoom in or out action.
public double deltZoom = 0.2;
* The maximum multiplier in zoom in functionality.
public double maxZoomMultiplier = 20.0;
* The minimum multiplier in zoom in functionality, and
* the currently used value is 1.0.
public double minZoomMultiplier = 1.0;
* The threshold to pan the contour after the PanTo(move)
* button or menu item is activated.
private double deltDistanceToPan = 10.0;
You have to code your method paint() or other methods carrying out the actual painting carefully to make it work with this method harmoniously. It's a too long story to let you know the details here. If you need more discussion, please email me([email protected] or [email protected]. The former address cannot work recently though I pay for it yearly. The latter address is more stable thought it's a free one. You'd better use it.)
Hope this can help.

Documentation of Portal Implementation - Experiences Required!

Dear EP Experts & NW Gurus,
I would like to know:
1)Any amount of portal implementation includes creation of Portal objects and PAR files, systems etc etc..
Moving these portal objects from one env to other some times involves changing few properties..Here i would like to know as to how are the EP developers documenting the Portal Developement?
2) How are the diff companies & consultants following the process of Design, Specs, TestCases & implementation?
Since there are so many properties involved for portal objects, these properties need to be documented so that if some problem happens in prod system then the docs can be consulted to find out whether the properties are correct or not?
3) How does SAP themselves do the documentation of their releases?Is there some tools that they have created which queries some kind of databases & which just dumps the properties etc into some excel format...?
Why i am asking this is bcos (in our case) after such a large implementation (hundreds of portal objects & tons of config..), the docs which we created have become so heavey and big it sometimes becomes diff to manage the docs manually. & then when we have team scenario,(where many ppl work & new ppl come & join..)these docs maintainance is painfull.
4) Most of the time after implementaion, where the support starts and when old iView keeps on changing as per new req, <b>is there any Standard way by which we can maintain the versions of Portal objects and config..??</b>
Please remember that i am talking abt all the phases of Soft Dev (High level Design, Specs, TestCases)..
I would like to discuss what kind of documennation does SAP & others do for portal implementations..
Regards
Gaurav

Hi Dagfinn,
Thanx for the reply..
I also think that the documentation should never become a burden..but a boon..
- Can you explain in detail about the first point (writing script)..are u saying that by some means i traverse the PCD and pickup the portal objects etc..
- We are on NW and have also configuared JDI recently. But how to use JDI for such kind of requirement.
Also as i asked, do u have any knowledge about Version Maintanance of Portal Objects?
The reason why i am again asking this is because what has happened recently is that since many ppl work on same objects and later on if an administrator wants to debug that who has changed what property -> it becomes diff to find out. even if i find that who has changed by "Changed by" but out of soo many propertes of any iView, which one was changed????
Regarding your answer about PCD Databases Browser.. in thread (Changing name of PCD object EP 6.0 SP11)
<i>Yes,
You can use the PCD database browser to change pcd properties, though I am not sure if it is included in NetWeaver.
Dagfinn</i>
I am on SP11 & SP9, and i am able to find that tool, but still not able to successfully connect. As soon as i connect, i willlet u know...
What about the other people here in SDN, what do the others have to say...??

Can't open a pdf document over two or more junction points

Hello,
if i open a pdf document that's stored in a directory and this directiry is accessable over two or mor junction points, it will be fail. The message say something abount access denied, but the security is set to full access. In other application (e.g. notepad.exe) i can access this document. Then i tested it with one junction point and it works.
So here is a szenario to test:
1) Put a pdf document at C:\Folder1\PDF-Document.pdf
2) I can access C:\Folder1\PDF-Document.pdf with Acrobat Reader
3) Create a Junction Point from C:\Folder2 to C:\Folder1
4) I can access C:\Folder2\PDF-Document.pdf with Acrobat Reader
5) Create a Junction Point from C:\Folder3 to C:\Folder2
6) I can't access C:\Folder3\PDF-Document.pdf with Acrobat Reader !!!
I can normaly access the file at C:\Folder3\PDF-Document.pdf but not with Acrobat Reader! In Notepad i can open the pdf document.
I tested the lasted version 11.0.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (Service Pack 1) with all normally available patches.
What's wrong? The original structure with the junction points are greater than the example above. But i've reduced it to this simple example.
Can anyone help?
Thanks und Greetings
Martin

It's possible it's a bug, or it may be a limitation in the software if it's a specialized kind of PDF that Reader for iOS doesn't support.
In any case, posting a link to the file would provide the engineers with some information to help fix the problem.
Keep in mind that the software for mobile devices has been in development a much shorter time than software for computers (Reader for Windows or Macintosh).

New Portal Implementation Questions?

Hi,
We've just started a Portal Implementation in our company. Our environment is as follow:
- EP 6.0 SP9 (NW04 SR1 version)
- SAP 4.6C System (WPPI installed)
- Lotus Notes/Domino (we are using Domino LDAP)
My Questions are as follow:
1. Can we integrate Domino LDAP with portal? If not how can we access domino user database in this environment?Because all company users exist in domino database but small subset of company users have SAP user.
2. Currently I've created a system for 46C r3 system in system landscape and set it to use UIDPW for user management. I've mapped one of portal user with a SAP user and created iviews to run with wingui and webgui. All worked successfully. My question is that if there is any wey to enable SAP users to logon Portal without mapping? Online Docs. says that it is not possible to use R3 systems other than based on 620 WAS as a datasource for UME.
Regards

Hi Huseyin,
You need to create system in EP.
System administration>System Configuration>system landscape-->
1) create one folder like "system"
2) create system in the above folder
3) Enter all the details of R/3 System
4) create Iview and link to the R/3 system
you could allways look at the manual:

Hi DFW
The sample file has got the spreadsheet range missing thats all. Just add the range you need to your pie chart.

Standard point & Shoot or more advanced Point and shoot?

My Sony Cybershot 7.2 finally kicked the bucket. Was a great camera that endured hunting trips and everything else. Now I need to replace it. Should I go with another standard point and shoot? What is the advantages of a more advanced point and shoot? you know,The ones that look like the DSLR, but aren't.
I am specificly looking at the Sony DSC-H50, but there are other cyber-shots with more pixels that are less money, but they are the standard style. I'm starting to feel a bit overwhelmed.

I'm not a big fan of the "bridge camera" category (P&S cameras shaped like a DSLR) - basically all of the disadvantages of a DSLR (size, size, and size), with few of the advantages (you're still stuck with a non-interchangeable lens and contrast detection autofocus. Also, ultrazoom P&S lenses tend to be pretty bad. We have some Fuji bridge cameras at work that suffer from awful barrel distortion.)
In my opinion, "advanced point and shoot" cameras are those that have a mostly typical P&S form factor but slightly bigger with lots of advanced features. Off the top of my head, the three main contenders are:
Canon G10
Panasonic LX3/Leica D-LUX4 (basically same camera, the Leica has a different name and much higher price)
Nikon ???? (can't remember exactly which model)
The G10 and LX3 are models that pro photographers go for when they can't carry around a DSLR. In fact there was quite a stir of controversy when the president of Pentax USA started carrying around a D-LUX4. (Pentax focuses on DSLRs and basic P&S cameras, not the advanced P&S market)

CP7 - Show 4 (or more) decimal points for User Variable?

Is there a way to show 4 or more decimal points for user variables?
For some reason, I'm only showing two decimal points for user variables in Captivate 7.
Micky

Yeah, I was afraid of that.
Right now, I have am dividing the values of two separate text box entry fields. I have to calculate the values to determine if they are getting a promotion, lateral transfer or lower pay range.
I'll figure out a workaround or just use java.
