Moving from Portal V1 to Portal V2!?

Has anyone tried to import applications / pages / templates / users etc etc from version 1 into version 2? Applications looks similar to version 1, but pages are totally new (page groups etc). How about moving existing user accounts over?

Thanks Arun for the dissappointing news (not your fault though). We're alreday past our deadline and I guess I don't have much other choice than to recreate all my work in release 2. That's gonna take a while unfortunately..

EP Sneak Preview - Moving from Portal Authentication to LDAP

Has anyone used the EP sneak preview, configuring first against portal authentication alone and then moving users to LDAP and leaving just the roles in the portal db, without having disaster strike and have to reinstall, etc.?
Thanks in advance.

hi,
according to the Quick Install Guide
(url: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/Quick%20Installation%20Guide%20for%20SAP%20NetWeaver%20EP%20on%20MaxDB,%20Developer%20Edition%20Sneak%20Preview.htm)
first i installed the latest JDK, which is 1.4.2_08
manually i set the following environment variables (like i read a few threads before):
CLASSPATH =
%JAVA_HOME%lib;%JAVA_HOME%jrelib;
JAVA_HOME = C:j2sdk1.4.2_08
Path = %JAVA_HOME%bin;c:j2sdk1.4.2_08bin;c:j2sdk1.4.2_08jrebin;...
when clicking sapinst.exe it says: latest JRE 1.4.2 with latest Patch level could not be found.
then i checked startinstgui.bat and get the following error:
the system cannot find the path.
Starting SAPinst GUI with local Java Runtime
Java Runtime found in JAVA_HOME environment variable
Java path: C:j2sdk1.4.2_08binjava.exe
a logon screen appears for sagui installation, which wants to logon to localhost and port 21212. this does not work as i have no webserver running...
i am riding xp - maybe the whole thing really works only on win2000 or win server 2003?
any comments apreciated.

Moving entire portal instance to new database

Does anyone have scripts for exporting/importing an entire portal instance? I'm moving my development database from Windows NT to a Sun box, and since I can't move the database directly I need to do a full portal export/import of all portal contents (pages, applications, content areas, etc.).
Thanks in advance.
Cecil...

Hi Cecil,
I have found the portal export/import routines to be a bit buggy. Try it with care. In moving from NT to Sun I have trusted the full database export/import and it worked out just fine.
On the Sun database just drop all the portal users (including portal30, portal30_sso, etc.). Then do a full database import on the Sun from the NT export. An important final note is to run the "ssodatan.sh" script to point to your new server.
Hope this helps.
Bob Bob,
Would you consider talking with me about this? I have a couple questions, like, if I'm moving to a new database then I won't have a PORTAL30 or PORTAL30_SSO to drop befoe the import, or do I install Portal into the new DB, then drop the users, then impoer, etc. If you can discuss this, please send contact info to [email protected]
Thanks!

Testing T-code from portal fails

Hi all,
While trying to connect to back end system from portal sys config-support - SAP application - SAP transaction and testing for SAP Local system for PA20 i get the following error:
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.Transaction
Component Name : com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.Transaction
Exception in SAP Application Integrator occured: Unable to parse template '<ClientWindowID><System.r3name><System.client><Request.Language><User.Accessibility><LAF.RightToLeft>'; the problem occured at position 16. Cannot process expression <System.r3name> because Invalid System Attribute: System: 'SAP_LocalSystem', Attribute: 'r3name'. .
Exception id: 11:11_30/10/08_0001_4635250
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
Can you please suggest a solution for this. I have looked into the forum and found only 2-3 relevant threads however, trying these out unfortunately didn't resolve this error.
Regards.

Mohammad,
You are moving in the right direction.
There are only few things missing.
1. You need to worry only about ITS, not connector or Web AS settings.
Make sure you setup:
a.ITS Host Name: <host>:<port, usually 800X>
b.ITS Path: /sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui
c.ITS Protocol: http
2. Add a new Alias name:
Right click on the system, select Open->System Aliases
Give it a name TEST_SYS_ALIAS
Click Add button
Save
3. Do Connection test for ITS only.
If fails - see the error. It can be SSO problem or /sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui is not activated on the backend.
Let me know if you need help with those.
If success - go and test your transaction again.
Select system TEST_SYS_ALIAS
Transaction code - any Tcode you need (PA20 or SMEN for system menu)
SAP GUI Type: SAP GUI for HTML
It should work.

Slava

Break points are not triggering in RFC from portal application

Helllo,
I am running Biller Direct application from portal, which is triggering a standard SAP RFC FM back end, am trying to debug my execution from portal, for this i put the External Break point, Session break-poiint at the beginning of this SAP RFC FM, but, its not stoppping at ll, here the user is a Web user, not dialog user.
How can i stop my execution in this SAP RFC FM to check how the structures are populated?
Thank you

Hi Raju,
Please try the below way and check if it works.
Open the RFC in R/3 i.e.
SE37 -> give FM NAME -> DISPLAY.
Click on UTILITIES -> SETTINGS -> CLICK THE TAB debugging.
In the screen against the field users : give the value 'WEBLOGIN'.
Uncheck the FLAG 'IP MATCHING'.
And at the bottom check the check box against the field
'Session Break Point Activate Immediately'.
Save these settings.
Then go to the line at which you want to debug the code and put an external break point over there.
But, please take care of one thing as we are giving it as a WEBLOGIN, when ever some logs in, it will reach the brteak point and stop there. We have to click F8 to continue. Or else, the portal will be hanged for them.
Thanks & regards,
Y Gautham

HTTPS connection from portal to external webserver

Hi,
I am looking for a way to open a HTTPS connection from portal server to an external webserver. According to <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e2/71c83edf72e16be10000000a114084/content.htm">SAP</a> the code should look like
KeyStore keystoreCAs = ...
SecureConnectionFactory factory = new SecureConnectionFactory(keystoreCAs, null);
HttpURLConnection con = factory.createURLConnection("https://www.mycompany.com");
Does not look difficult, but how do I create the keystore object? The keystore object should somehow be connected to the portal server's keystore which manages the certificates of trusted Certificate Authorities.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Martin

Hi,
meanwhile I solved the problem by my own. The solution slightly simplified is given below.
javax.naming.InitialContext ctx = new javax.naming.InitialContext();
java.lang.Object o = ctx.lookup("keystore");
com.sap.engine.services.keystore.interfaces.KeystoreManagerWrapper_Stub manager = (com.sap.engine.services.keystore.interfaces.KeystoreManagerWrapper_Stub) o;
java.security.KeyStore keystoreCAs = manager.getKeystore("TrustedCAs");
com.sap.security.core.server.https.SecureConnectionFactory factory = new SecureConnectionFactory(keystoreCAs, null);
java.net.HttpURLConnection con = factory.createURLConnection("https://www.mycompany.com");
For connecting via a proxy the host name and port number of the proxy have to be set as System properties using "https.proxyHost" and "https.proxyPort".
java.util.Properties systemSettings = System.getProperties();
 systemSettings.put("proxySet", "true");
 systemSettings.put("https.proxyHost","192.168.0.1") ;
 systemSettings.put("https.proxyPort", "80") ;
Additionally you have to make sure that the server's certificate is issued by a trusted Certification Authority (Must have an entry in your Keystore "TrustedCAs"). To verify this use the Visual Administrator and view service "Key Storage".

Access to Entity Service from Portal Application

Hi Experts,
I have a hybrid application which will be making use of both Web Dynpro and Portal Applications. I decided to use Entity Services to store my back-end data and can access it fine from the Web Dynpro project. I have included the public part of my CAF project into the Used DCs of my Portal project and while I am able to call the methods of the Entity Service at compile time, at runtime I receive an error message on the page:
An exception occurred while processing a request
I know in order to get this to work for Web Dynpro I had to include sap.com/tccolapi.sap.com/cafruntimeuicouplingapilib as a Library Reference and a few Used DCs, but while I have added the Used DCs to the Portal project, I am unsure of how to add the Library Reference. I assume this has to be added to portalapp.xml, but I don't know the syntax.
Could somehow please reply with how to do this and whether this is all that is required in order to call Entity Service methods from Portal applications?
Thanks,
JP

Hi Smith,
Write click on the Project then goto the Properties=>Webdynpro References=>Library references
add
caf/eu/gp/api
sap.com/cafruntimeuicouplingapilib
And add the following DC in your project.
1> External in caf/eu/gp/api (CAF domain)
2> caf/eu/gp/api/wd (CAF domain)
3> com.sap.security.api.sda (SAP-JEE)
portalapp.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<application>
<application-config>
<property name="SharingReference" value="usermanagement, knowledgemanagement, landscape, htmlb, exportalJCOclient, exportal, SAPJ2EE::library:cafeugp~api"/>

Null entry (from portal webdynpro) is not getting updated in R/3?

Hi Gurus,
I have a webdynpro application which has user input field where in which user can pass the data and it will get updated once user hit the update button in the view.
But in some case if user don't enter any value in the above said input box it has to update the r/3 with the blank entry.
But in my case r/3 system refers the value (which is passed from portal last time) instead of blank entry?
How to overcome this problem.
More detailed way:
If user don't enter any value in the input box then R/3 record has to be updated with the blank entry
else
whatever the data user enters in the particular input it has to be updated the r/3 with that value.
Right now If i pass some value in the input box it properly getting updated in r/3 but next time if I pass the blank entry in the input box it has to update the r/3 with this blank entry (as per the requirement)
But its not happening like that it referring previously entered data.
Please help me
Thanks in Advance
Dharani

Hi,
Suppose you are using a function Module X which takes input "empno" ..., and exports name, city , rcode
Go to se37 , check the code ....it can be like this ...
if empno = .... then
update .......
// updated
else
// not updated ........
end if .
if updated ... u will observer 0 else some other number say 4.
Now when u do modelling in your webdynpro application , u can find export parameters know..
now u can check ...if rcoe = 0 ..updated else ...not updated ...
by that u can know...
Thanks,

Upload Excel File from Portal (R/3 working fine)

Hi Experts!!
We have a report in which we are uploading an excel file from presentation server into an itab. When F4 clicked for file path, browser will open for choosing the path. Now, we have created an iView in Portal for this t-code. However, F4 is not working from Portal, rather giving an error 'Please wait. You will be forwarded automatically. This page had to be included for technical reasons.'.
We need to upload excel file even from Portal too. Can somebody please give me some inputs or suggestions?

Hi Jigar,
Now I am able to get into SAP screen. However it's not opening the t-code that I mentioned. I gave some Z t-code ZTEST. Once I check the iView, it is showing SAP screen with the below things:
Service Type:
Service ID:
TCode: ZTEST
Object Type:
Key:
Field 1:
Val. 1:
Field 2:
Val.2:
Field 3:
Val 3:
And at the bottom it's giivng a warning message:
Object type or object does not exist
Message no. 1W001
In iView properties I can see Object Type as com.sapportals.portal.iview. Is this the same Object Type that the message is talkign about? Can you please help me out?

Print BW Report from Portal 6.0

Hi,
I have a BW report iView and I would like to print the BW report from Portal. I don't see an option to print directly from Portal.
Is it the only way to print is "export to Excel and print it from there" ?
We are on EP6 and BW 3.5.
Thanks for your answers.
Regards,
Megha.

Hi Megha Bokam,
I'm not a BW person but as far as I remember there is an HTML section when creating BW reports.
Try to put:
<a href="javascript:print();">Print Report</a>
in tis HTML section.

My first guess would be because Firefox disabled insecure TLS fallback in 37.
We have disabled insecure TLS version fallback. If a secure site isn’t working, you can try setting the “security.tls.version.fallback-limit” preference in about:config to 1 and see if it works then.
Weblogic out of the box does not use the newest protocols and is version intolerant. I would need detailed config info to say for sure why PORTAL might still be working. Are they running different Java versions for Weblogic? Is there a mix of Certicom and JSSE being used for SSL? Check out this analysis for more details.

Let us know what you find. Others may experience the same thing if they are configured similar to you.
