Opening a Portal page from UWL item's click

Hi,
I have written a custom UWL connector that connects to 3rd party system to fetch tasks.
This custom connector has been registered with UWL and tasks from this 3rd party system are now appearing in my UWL.
The requirement is to open a Portal page on click of these UWL items.
That is, when user clicks on this custom UWL item, a Portal page should be opened in new window.
I tried setting item's executionURL to following (inside getItems() method of connector) : -
1. https://myportal.com/irj/portal?navigationtarget=roles://portal_content/com.mycompanyPurchaising/com.mycompany.Purchase_Request/com.mycompany.Roles/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purchaseRequest
2. https://myportal.com/irj/portal?navigationtarget=roles://portal_content/com.mycompany.Purchaising/com.mycompany.Purchase_Request/com.mycompany.Roles/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purchaseRequest&target="_blank"
3. Set Quick link property of corresponding page and then set executionURL as: -
https://myportal.com/irj/portal/purchaserequest
Issue being faced: -
When user clicks on this UWL item, it opens following URL which just displays blank portal page: -
https://myportal.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prteventname/navigate/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.mycompany.layout.PortalLayoutFolder!2fcom.mycompany.layout.DesktopFolder!2fmycompanyDesktop!2fframeworkPages!2fframeworkpage!2fcom.sap.portal.innerpage!2fcom.sap.portal.contentarea?NavigationTarget=ROLES%3A%2F%2Fportal_content%2Fcom.mycompany.Purchaising%2Fcom.mycompany.Purchase_Request%2Fcom.mycompany.iViews%2Fcom.mycompany.purchaseRequest&CurrentWindowId=WID1326775699455&NavMode=1
Any idea what is going wrong here?
I am not able to figure out what & from where its preparing above URL instead of opening the URL that I specified in Connector's executionURL attribute.
Regards,
Amey

Issue was with iView that I was trying to open in DEV portal.
It worked fine in TEST & PROD portals.
Hence, NavigationTarget=<> approach works fine.

How to open a new page from a Spry Table click, with element info?

Hello, Spry experts!
This is probably simple, but I've searched for hours and can't find what I need. I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 and Spry 1.6.1 to create a simple Spry Table from an XML data set using PHP as my back end. I've used Dreamweaver's Insert->Spry->Spry Data Set to create everything, and the table is working fine. Colors, clicks, sorts, etc., are all working correctly as expected.
What I want is to be able to add a behavior such that when a table row is clicked, I can open a new page. Moreover, I want to pass a parameter from the table to the new page, like http://www.mydomain.com/newpage.php?aid=12345 or whatever.
So, for example, my table has two columns, "a_id" and "a_name", and my repeat region looks like this:
<div spry:region="xml_assignments">
<table width="500">
<tr>
<th spry:sort="a_id" class="spry_header">ID</th>
<th spry:sort="a_name" class="spry_header">Assignment</th>
</tr>
<tr spry:repeat="xml_assignments" spry:setrow="xml_assignments" spry:odd="spry_odd" spry:even="spry_even" spry:hover="spry_hover" spry:select="spry_select">
<td>{a_id}</td>
<td>{a_name}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
What I want is to be able to open an entirely new URL, passing the value of the {a_id} in the selected row as a parameter to the new URL, as in something like: http://www.mydomain.com/newpage.php?aid={a_id}
So my questions are:
1. How best to apply the action to the table? Add an onclick to the tr tag? Something else?
2. How to extract the {a_id} value from the current row and pass it as a parameter to the action?
Or maybe just take another approach entirely?
I know that I can make the actual text in the table cells hyperlinks, and use them to link to the new page, which is fine. The desire here is just to make it so that the user can click "anywhere" on the table row (as they can currently do with the spry:select behavior) and have the link kick off, whether they actually click on the linked text or somewhere in the row where there is no text.
I'm sure this is obvious and simple, but I'm new to this level of Spry detail, and my brain is fried from hunting. Any guidance will be gratefully appreciated!
Glen Barney

I found the answer myself, after posting this, of course!
I changed:
<tr spry:repeat="xml_assignments" spry:setrow="xml_assignments" spry:odd="spry_odd" spry:even="spry_even" spry:hover="spry_hover" spry:select="spry_select">
to
<tr spry:repeat="xml_assignments" spry:setrow="xml_assignments" spry:odd="spry_odd" spry:even="spry_even" spry:hover="spry_hover" spry:select="spry_select" onclick="window.location.href='./newpage.php?aid={a_id}';">
Basically just added the onclick parameter...
And it all just worked!

How to open a JSP page from a form ??? plz help

hi ..
i want to know how to open a jsp page from a oracle apps form using a button .
the requirement is that whenever we click on the button created on the form, it opens a jsp page.
plz help me ..its urgent !! :-(

In portlet project, to navigate between pages, you should not use the URL property to link to a page. Instead, portlets use navigation via action handling. You use the Page Navigation editor to set up links to pages; that is, the navigation editor sets the action property.
Here is an example to hyperlink ans button to open a new page:
# From within the IDE, create a new portlet project. This action creates the project and one page, PortletPage1.jsp.
# Create a second portlet page, called PortletPage2.jsp, for the project.
# Drop a Hyperlink component onto the first portlet page, PortletPage1. (You can drop the Hyperlink on the page in the Design window or on the PortletPage1 node in the Outline window.) Change the Hyperlink's text property to Next Page.
# Drop a Button component (found in the Basic section of the Palette) onto the second portlet page, PortletPage2.
# Open the Page Navigation Editor. It displays the two pages (PortletPage1.jsp and PortletPage2.jsp) of the application.
# Click the PortletPage1.jsp icon in the Navigation window to expand it, and then drag a connector from hyperlink1 to PortletPage2.jsp. Change the name of the connector from case1 to Page2.
# Click the PortletPage2.jsp icon in the Navigation window to expand it, and then drag a connector from button1 to PortletPage1.jsp. Change the name of the connector from case1 to Page1.
# Run and deploy the portlet. The browser displays PortletPage1 and you should see the Next Page hyperlink. When you click the Next Page hyperlink, the Apache Pluto Portal server displays PortletPage2. Click the Page2 button to return to PortletPage1.

Calling portal page from Oracle E-suite

Hi,
I want to know how to open a portal application from oracle Application forms. The user logins to Oracle apps, and select the 'portal' responsibility. Then it should open the portal application in a web browser.
Thanks,
Nishanth.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response. In my case, the user logins with a responsibility and clicks on one of the menus named 'open portal' or something similar and then, it should open up the web page. Will that be possible using this function? I understand that you have to define a function to be associated with a menu and things like that. Any pointers in this direction?
Thanks,
Nishanth.

Opening a WEB page from FORMS CS & WebForms

Hi,
We would like to open a Web Page from a forms running in
client/server as well as from a form runningover the web.
Over the web, we plan to use SHOW_DOWUMENT (Even tough it seems
broken, on forms 6.0, the only way we have got it working was by
using the parameter that overwrites the current page (the form),
we cannot have it open an URL in another window)
In C/S mode, the SHOW DOCUMENT does not work. What is the proper
way to lauch an URL in a browser in C/S mode ?
Is there a way to determine if we're running in CS mode or Web
Mode ? We would like to use the same code both on the web and in
C/S
Example pseudo code:
if (Running in CS Mode) then
open the URL using C/S method
else
open the URL with show dowument
fi
Thanks

use '_blank' as parameter, not '_self'.

Opening an ADF page from an OA framework page

Hello,
We have an OA framework page (a custom app) deployed in Oracle 9i Application server. We intend to develop some ADF pages which will be deployed in a separate Oracle 10g AS. I would like to know if it is possible to open an ADF page from an OA page and the basic interoperability between them. If someone can throw some light on the feasibility of this approach, it would really be helpful. Are there any material available on this?
Please let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks in advance
Raja

You way want to ask this on the OA Forum as well.
Because you are running the apps on different servers the interoperability can only be through the db layer. I'm not aware of a solution where the apps are running in the same context, meaning you can't have an transaction spanning both apps.
To open a page of an other app is simply done by putting a link in one app which points to the second app.

Transport of portal pages from Production to Development

Hi,
I need to transfer the portal pages from from the production server to development server. I did see references from Development to Production but not vice- versa.
Can anybody please help me with this? What are the best practices?
DEP :- SP19 and PEP - SP9.
Thanks much,
Dharmi

Hi,
The best practises are :
1) All the Portal Servers in the System Landscape should have the same version, same support package and patches.
2) You should never transport from Production to Development, it's always the other way round.
Why do you want to transport something from Production to Development ? We always develop somthing, test it and then trasnport it to production. Any modifications to be done, should be first done on the Development Server, tested and then transported to the Production. I don't see a need to transport content from Production to Development.
Anyways, if you want to do so can you always create a transport package on Portal Production Server, add those pages to the transport package, export the transport package. You may save this transport package on the local system or you may copy this from the export folder of the server to the import folder of Portal Production Server. Then on the Portal Developement Server import the file. If you have saved the transport package file on your local machine, then while importing select client, browse and then import the file from your local machine or else select server -> browse -> import folder -> select the transport package file and import.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Sunil

Help about opening a PHP page from a Java application

Hi,
I would have some elements to open a PHP page from a little Java application I'm doing. I would like to know the classes I had to use, how to implement them, ...
In fact, I dial into my application my login, my password, and when I click on by "Connect" button, I must show the PHP page corresponding ti my profile onto the database. Picking up information from the database is not a problem, I know how to use SQL Packages in Java. The problem is to open a new page (IE or Netscape) when clicking on the "Connect" button in my application.
Thanks a lot for advice me.

Hi
This class is from JavaWorld Tip 66 and I've used it to open web pages and files in a browser.
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.*;
* A simple, static class to display a URL in the system browser.
* Under Unix, the system browser is hard-coded to be 'netscape'.
* Netscape must be in your PATH for this to work. This has been
* tested with the following platforms: AIX, HP-UX and Solaris.
* Under Windows, this will bring up the default browser under windows,
* usually either Netscape or Microsoft IE. The default browser is
* determined by the OS. This has been tested under Windows 95/98/NT.
* Examples:
BrowserControl.displayURL("http://www.javaworld.com")
BrowserControl.displayURL("file://c:\\docs\\index.html")
BrowserContorl.displayURL("file:///user/joe/index.html");
* Note - you must include the url type -- either "http://" or
* "file://".
public class BrowserControl
     * Display a file in the system browser. If you want to display a
     * file, you must include the absolute path name.
     * @param url the file's url (the url must start with either "http://"
or
     * "file://").

Opening a HTML page from a Navigation link

Hi All,
I have a requirement of adding a new link at the navigation bar of WebClient. This link will open a static html page with some contents. I have created the page required for it. But I don't know how the link will be created at Navigation bar and how to open the html page from it. I am using the SAP CRM 5.0 and I want to add the link at Default profile.
Please help.
Thanks
Indranil Datta

Hi Sujit,
Thanks for your help. I have created a new navigation bar entity and added that in a customized profile. I have also mentioned the page name and path for that link from tran SPRO. I found that link after logging into IC WebClient. But that link is not connected with the required page. If I click on the link page, it get refreshed but without any change.
Thanks,

Prevent portal page from open automatic

Hi there,
i got this issue:
A portal page opening an external fullscreen window and defined as first entry point in second level navigation, should not be openend automatically when clicking on the corresponding top-level navigation entry.
It should only open when explicitly clicking on its navigation button on second-level navigation.
Any idea ?

The Portal expects content to be displayed when clicking on TLN. Either content assigned to the TLN or to any of the second level navigation items.
But there is not always a reason why I should I have assigned any content to a TLN item.
Furthermore if I don't want any page from second level to be displayed automatically because the user has no preferences in advance. And he doesn't want any kind of starting page or so. In our case all those pages open in external windows. So if I would make one of them the starting page and the user doesn't need this one, he first must close the window and then select the desired one.
This is much more uncomfortable I think.
Cheers
Walter
