New iView property in EP7.0 SPS14 - well almost

We have just installed SPS14 on an EP7.0 instance, and one of the new features delivered in the SP is an iView property called Show ‘Expand’/’Collapse’ Icon in Tray.
The relevant release note can be found [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/21/b3eff447a5424f81bef348bcc169d8/frameset.htm].
This looked promising as we frequently get calls from users who complain that they can't see a screen in the portal, and it is usually because they have accidentally collapsed an iView.
The problem we have found is that it doesn't seem to work with WebDynpro iViews - Java or ABAP.
Anyone else tried using it yet?
Regards,
John

Hi John,
i have the same issue. Did you find anything to suppress the icon? The only possibility i habe in mind is changing the theme and take a blank picture.
Any Appreciation would be fine.
Regards,
Thomas

    Hi,
    do have the right permissions? You can check this using the Permission Editor (Applications, PCD)
    What role are you assigned to? Content Administrator? System Administrator or even Super Administrator?
    Doesthe same error occur when you're logged in as Super Administrator?

    Hi,
       Yes you are right.  When you create the iView, have you set the following properties:
    <b><u>Property Value</u></b>
    Layout Set: <b>NewsExplorer</b>
    Layout Set Mode: <b>Exclusive</b>
    Path to Initially Displayed Folder: <b>/documents/myNews</b>

  • Can KM news Items be restricted in KM News iView?

    Hi,
        We are working on EP 7.0 SR1. We have created a KM news iView.
    We would like to restrict the no. of news items, published on this iView.
    So that always top 4 News will be displayed.
    Does any one have solution for this?
    Regards
    Sunil Kulkarni
    PS: Rewarding points will be given for helpful answer.

    Hi,
    Check the CollectionRenderer of your IViews layoutset.
    In the CollectionRenderer you will find <b>Number of Rows</b> property, which you should set to 4 to show only 4 news items at a time.

  • News order in News Iviews changes upon refresh

    Hi guys,
    I've recently installed SP12 into my EP7 and I notice that the order (last created/modified should appear at the top) of my news in the news iview changes upon refreshing the iview.
    I've checked in the Content Management and see that the news which are displayed in the iview are also modified by me (which I've only displayed) within the same timestamp.
    Does anyone experience the same?

    Ok I found out a solution by changing the layout set (collection renderer), so that the news are sorted via "created" and not "modified".
    If there are anyone who have the same issue, let me know and I will be glad to help.

  • Permanent change of iView property programmatically

    Hallo,
    I used this code to change iView property from another iView:
    private IPcmObject getPcdObject( IPortalComponentRequest pRequest, String pPcdUrl ) throws NamingException
                        IPcmObjectService pcdFactory = (IPcmObjectService) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService( IPcmObjectService.KEY );
                        Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
                        env.put( Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY );
                        env.put( Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, pRequest.getUser() );
                        IPcmObjectBuilder pcmSrv = pcdFactory.getInitialContext(env);
                        try {
                             return( (IPcmObject)pcmSrv.lookup(pPcdUrl) );
                        catch (NamingException e) {
                             throw e;
              public void onButtonClick_CV(Event event) throws Exception

                                       e.printStackTrace();
                                  obj.getAttributes().put("StartUri","/documents");
                                  obj.getAttributes().put("path","/documents");
    ..... and when I access property by obj.getAttributes().get("StartUri"), I get right result: "/documents". But this is not permanent change of iView property - when I access this property later, I get old value of this property.
    Does somebody knows how to made changes permanent?

  • New build property, horrible BT phone line install...

    Hi all.
    I am writing here because I have been thrown around by BT and the phone line installation team over the past one month, and I have just run out of patience.
    The entire experience started in  late May, when I phoned BT and told them that I was moving house in 2 weeks and that I would need a new phone line installed at the new property, which is a new build. The BT sales team was more than happy to take my order, and since there was a charge of £130 for installation of phone line by itself, I decided to bundle both broadband and telephone line from BT directly to avoid that cost. I was a given an appointment on the 10th of June for my phone and broadband installation. 
    The 10th of June came and I took the day off work thinking all would be sorted by the end of the day. By the late afternoon no one ahd contacted me and there was no one who had come to the door. I called BT and had them check on my order and they said that "for some reason, the order says its still 'pending' and has not gone through..." After chatting with different people from different teams like sales, orders and them confrerring with engineers and seniors, I was finally told that the order could not be processed because I was in a new build and hence the system could not process a broadband order before there was an active phone line in the property, hence the failure of the order to go through. Next, I was given a date for the phone line order by itself to be done, and although I was frustrated here, I conceded and moved on hoping to get the issue sorted as quickly as possible. The new date was June 22nd for the phone line and then the broadband order to be placed thereafter. At this point I was not sent any emails or letter regarding my order with ym order number or any references, so I should have been sceptical, but I let it slide thinking it would be settled soon.
    June 22nd came and I took leave off work again for the 8am - 1pm BT engineer visit. Once again, no one showed up or contacted me. I called BT again desperately hoping that this could not be happening again. When i asked the lady about my order scheduled for that day, she said that the order did not go through once again. It was still 'pending'! I was just shocked. I wanted to explode because twice BT had given me apppointment timings that could not be fulfilled and twice they left me in the lurch when they knew beforehand that the engineers would not show up, leaving me to take time from work which I cannot get back, much less the fact that I still do not even have a phone line. After much chatting with different people on the line I finally got them to book another order this time for July 9th for the phone line. 
    This time i called back on July 2nd  and July 6th to make sure that my order was on track and I was assured that after checking with the 'openreach engineers on their side' that my order was on track and the engineer would show up definitely on 9th of July.
    Then the 9th came and I took the morning off from work to wait for the engineer.Yet again, BT managed to show me how poorly they treat customers.  No engineer showed up again, and as was becoming a habit now, I had to phone BT to enquire about my order and discover that the engineer was not going to show up today as well. When pressed much more the person on the other end finally relented that the cables from the exchange to my new build property need to be set up and are in the process of being done. I would then get a call when BT/Openreach finally finish this. I felt let down, especially when I asked how long that would be since I have already been waiting for a more than month for BT to carry this out and also agreed to pay the £130 set up charge for the phone line since they wanted to process the phone line order alone first. Her response was nothing more than a "I cannot tell for sure.." and at this point I could tell that meant it could be a really long while more before getting a phone line /  broadband, if ever BT is interested in setting it up.
    Is there any way to actually check and see if BT are setting up a connection from the exchange to the property for the phone line and how long it would take before I can finally get a simple phone line here?
    Sorry if this was a bit of rant but it is rather draining and also costly for me having to deal with BT and wait for them when they could simply communicate with me better to inform me of their engineers' decisions.
    Abi 
    *EDIT* I have also spoken to the developer of the property and they have informed me that the flat is ready for a phone line to be installed, and that BT is only currently fitting phone lines to the building across the road and not my block, so that means someone at BT/Openreach is telling me the worng thing and the engineer is just refusing to come out now. I have additionally spoken to some of the other residents who moved in before me in the same block and they have had phone lines connected to their property by BT so I think this problem needs sorting out asap by BT please.
    Thank you. 

    Hi
    It seems that I am caught in the same endless maelstrom of bt/open reach inability to meet installation obligations.
    We have a new build home on a small private development. No cable available regrettably so all 6 of our neighbours use bt phone and std broadband.
    Ordered both services end April to be told that install appointment was 30 May - seemed a long time but accepted. Had whole series of emails and texts from bt reminding of appointment and arrival of modem, but late evening 29 May text arrived saying order delayed and put back to 13 June. Called following morning and got the run around took 40 mins to get any answer of sense that said ,Line work was required and open reach we're dealing withi it.
    13 June came and went no one called or advised that appointment would not be met. Again many phone calls but same answer line issues. My developer tells me that the lines are installed per spec, in fact we have a black network cable present through a conduit next our front door but no terminal box to join up to white phone line wires to inside phone points. Offered bt a photo of this but they will not accept it. Just keep saying line issues holding up install. Either way unless this work is done the it will be impossible to connect even if other work had rally to be done - not interested!
    This week promised that all would be done, 16th the 17th and then 18th -nothing again and hence more phone calls.
    Issue handed to resolution team who calked today to say work schedule for 12 July! More than two months since order - just don't believe them and asked them to escalate - no hopes up!
    In the meantime our phone no rings out and people wonder why we are not answering! Complete shambles.
    In 2014 this should be easy meat to BT who seem tied up in a complaint type process that resolves nothing.
    I have no real choice but BT and their performance is just hopeless. Advised ofcom but don't deal with individual complaints - this is consumer hell and very very frustrating.

    logs can be read from nwa, if you hv the relevant access or get portal admin to pass the defaulttrace file to you. Login to nwa, navigate to Monitoring-Logs and traces and select (either default trace or last 24hrs) to view the logs. hope this helps

  • Creation of new iViews not possible because templates missing

    Hello,
    I do troubleshooting to this problem but still didn't found a solution. Before this problem came up an creation of iViews were possible. I'm not able to reproduce what was changed since then.
    I'm using an NW04s Portal SP09:
    If I try to create a new iView I get no selection of different iView templates. The step 1 of Template selection shows the message:
    "No templates to display. You are not assigned to any existing templates."
    I checked the template folder in PCD and found my role has access to it and to the templates objects. I gave me super_admin role but nothing changed. I think the problem is maybe a configuration issue or something with wrong access rights (security zones?).
    Please, do someone know what I could check next?
    Thank you very much for every response.
    Regards
    Alex

    Alex,
    I'd be curious to know what SAP says.  We have the same problem.  Not sure how/if we broke it, but we can no longer create iviews using the wizard.  I opened an OSS msg a while ago, but did not get much assistance. 
    We have recently upgraded to 2004s and it did not resolve the issue as I hoped it would. 
    If SAP provides a solution for you, please post it. 
    Thanks,

  • IView Property: application parameter

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding the iView property "application parameter": how can I set several application parameters?
    For example: first parameter useractionid=UAUSER; second parameter application=V01 - how can I seperate these parameters? with blank, with comma and blank or only comma, semicolon and blank or only semicolon, or anything else?
    Thanks
    Steffi Gründemann

    Hi Steffi,
    In the application URL, you can add the required parameters. First parameter followed by '?' question mark then '&' (only AND symbol). See the example below:

    Hi,
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If after reboot that doesn't help...
    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
