Objective of a Portal Consultant

Hi Friends,
   Please excuse me as iam posting a non-technical question here.
   I am a Programmer analyst working in ABAP. For better prospects and out of curiosity i have chosen Portal Development to explore. As far as i have explored it seems to be a mere web-page designing job. Is it so?. What else we gotta do as a portal developer?. I want to tell my friends and colleagues that iam not doing a simple job here.
   Please clarify my doubts.
Regards,
Tamilarasan.

I can assure you that being a portal consultant is not merely a web developer. To be a really good developer in the portal space you will need to know
1) Java
2) How the portal hangs together
3) Portal APIs and how to use them
4) Performance enhancing tricks
5) Backend systems (potentially), R3, Documentum, BW, CRM
6) Business Packages, how to install and configure them
This is to name but a few. The more you know the better.
I hope this alleviates some of your concerns

Error in creating Callable object of type Portal iView

Hi People,
I need to create a callable object of type Portal iView / Page,
But whenever I try to create it gives me a RunTime Exception:
java.lang.ClassCastException
at com.sap.caf.eu.gp.ui.co.portal.dt.VBrowse.appendChildren(VBrowse.java:523)
Please suggest some way out,
Thanks in advance,
Deepak

Hi,
How many actions are there in your process?. Is it having only one action that is Web service?.
I think, The process should at least contain one UI action.
If your process is having multiple actions, there may problem with other actions. Test the web service action seperately to confirm this.
Thanks

Access denied (Object: com.sap.portal.system/security/no_safety)

We are implementing EP 6.0, currently with SP11. We have developed some iViews, which are using RFC functions to get information from backend system, in this case SRM.
Everything worked fine, till the day weve transported those developments into other systems (production and testing systems). We are getting the following error Access denied (Object: com.sap.portal.system/security/no_safety). This error only comes out if the iView is called from inside another one, if called isolated it works fine.
Does any one have any idea about how to solve this?

Hi AA, you can find in the log file in order to identify what is the object that you need to add in the security zone.
You can find information for the security zones on:

How to show Crystal Reports in BW system to Business Object XI R3 Portal

Hi All
I have some Crystal Reports in BW system and want to call them on Business Object XI R3 Portal.
Lets say that there are x number of reports in the system.
I need to show them on BO Portal by passing some parameters.
I am not able to start that how I can show them.
I followed one tutorial on Cystal Report for Eclipse and I was able to make a Crysral Report for Web Application.That was deployed successfully. I got one URL to run that.
But now if I want to add this link in my existing BO Portal how can I do that.
Can anyone help me in that, that how to proceed.
Thanks & regards

We don't allow customizing our pages. Any patches installed will over write any changes you do. Create your own user interface.

Execution order of objects into a Portal page

Hi, to all.
I have a portal page (Oracle Portal 10.1.4) with many Areas (Items and Portlets). Every area contains one or more components (java portlet, plsql portlet,
dynamic page, plsql item, html portlet and so on). Let say 5 areas and 10 objects.
What is the order of executions of the objects ?
Who is the first object executed?
Portal executed all the objects in the first area and then started with the second area?
Which is the first area? these at the top-left corner of the page?
Thank.

8.3.1 Managed Portlet Execution per Page
The PPE(Paralel Page Engine) uses the concept of fetcher threads. These are threads within the PPE servlet which are used to service requests for portlet content. By default there are 25 fetcher threads within the PPE waiting to service requests. If a page has 26 portlets and that page is requested then 25 of the portlets will be requested in parallel and the 26th request will wait for the next available fetcher thread.
This serialization effect will ultimately slow down the portal performance as more requests are received. This degradation will affect the whole portal site, to combat this at a more granular page level OracleAS Portal introduces a feature called Managed Portlet Execution (MPE).
This feature provides a throttle effect similar to fetcher threads but on a per-page basis. If a page has 25 portlets 20 will run the other 5 will wait for free slots then they will run, in effect they'll be throttled.
MPE is set to 20 by default, but this is a configurable parameter allowing administrators to ensure that the performance of the whole site is not degraded by over-zealous page designers putting excessive quantities of portlets on one page.

And parallel means like "all at the sime time" isn't it?

Portal consultant

Hi,
I have implemented ESS & MSS in EP6.0. I have modified some ESS services in R/3 SAP4.7 and created IACs in Portal and it is working fine.For MSS services i implemented the std services and hence no customization needed.I know BSP programming and created some BSP iviews too for ESS and MSS.
I know how to work in PCD (Content Mgt & User managment).I never worked with other Portal tools like NWDS,Visual composer etc.. .Is this knowledge very much expected for a Portal developer? From the weblogs i come to know Java knowledge is must for EP implementation.But still i am in confusion.
Please suggest me whther its mandatory so that i can tell myself as a Portal consultant.
Regards,
SAPUSER 100

HI,
Knowing NWDS is a must for a portal developer.

Hi Enrico,
com.sap.portal.pcc.uitools.RuntimeToolbar is indeed the component you are looking for, however this component was developed using SAP modified GWT so it will be very very hard to extend it by changing it's code.
I recommand that you create an additional iView and push the elements you want to the runtime toolbar using javascript.

Unable to delete User object in FIM Portal - Cannot find the object "#calculateRequestSetTransitionsAssembleStatementsPartition"

Hi,
***Problem
I encounter a problem with FIM (version 4.1.3441.0 and 4.1.3496.0) when I try to delete a User object (and only a User object) whatever if it is
manually/Expiration Workflow/Powershell.
Deleting a User object used to be perfectly functional and, without any product version modification, stopped working. I haven't neither deleted/modified or add a
"Grant" MPR or any of the corresponding Sets since last time I saw it working.
Displayed error is "Request could not be dispatched" in FIM Portal and is referencing a stored procedure in Event Viewer.
***Error details
When I try to delete a User object, here is the output :
Portal
"Processing error" on submit
with the following details
Request status is stuck at "Validating" until next restart of FIM Service (after what it becomes “Canceled”)
Request’s “Applied Policy” tab does not contain any MPR where, at least, a “Grant” MPR is expected
As SQL Timeout is relatively high and error happens quickly, I don’t think there is a Timeout problem under that.
Logs
« Application »
The Portal cannot connect to the middle tier using the web service interface. This failure prevents all portal scenarios from functioning correctly.
The cause may be due to a missing or invalid server url, a downed server, or an invalid server firewall configuration.
Ensure the portal configuration is present and points to the resource management service.

While there are several SQL Agent jobs (FIM Temporal Events, Maintain Sets, and Maintain Groups among others)created by the FIM install only one of those is enabled and scheduled and it calls all of the same stored procedures that the other
jobs do. Step 2 is Maintain sets and Step 3 is maintain groups. So the Maintain sets and groups jobs never need to get enabled and scheduled, but if you want them to be maintained more frequently then you can.

How to unlock the objects in Enterprise Portal

Dear Experts,
I have not logged off properly from my Enterprise Portal. But my object is locked when i am trying to login again for the Enterprise Portal. Please help us in unlocking the objects in EP.
Regards,
Shankar

Go to Portal Calalog - Content Provided by SAP >> Admin Interface >> Admin iView Template >> Object Locking for Users (iview).
Open iView Object Locking for Users in edit mode and check if the switch is set to Yes for the Activate User Filter property. If not, switch to Yes. Save any changes you made.
Create a role and assign it the iView Object Locking for Users with a delta link.
Assign the role to your userid, and you will be allowed to unlock your own objects through this iview.

Services for Object in Standard Portal iView

Hi Experts!!
We have TRIP in R/3 which we use to create Travel Expense. For a TE in R/3, we have Services for Object (where we can attach files n all). We are planning to get that while creating TE through Portal too. However in Portal we are using standard iView provided by SAP.
Is there any way to achieve this? Or, any suggestions related to this?
Your help is highly appreciable.

Hi Experts!!
Please suggest on this.
