Organizing Federated Portal
1. What is the recommend structure for a WSRP portlet on the Producer side. I need to organize css,javascript,images,jsps and .portlet file itself.
2. is having a common css and JS recommended for WSRP portlets?
Hi,
I set the login.ticket_portal in the config on the consumer to "no" to only pass the Reference system SAP id on the SSO ticket which was working fine.
Since then we have had the business need to include the portal id (from ADS) in the ticket for SSO with non SAP Java Apps. So I am back to square one.
The SSO between the Consumer and Producer still works fine as in, if you log on to the consumer then open the link to the producer it logs you on. It's just when you view producer content through the consumer that it prompts for a log on
Is there any way to change the evaluation of the ticket on the Producer Portal side so it picks the SAP Id not the Portal Id?

Error while accessing a BI iView from the federated portal to the BI portal
Hi,
We got an issue when we execute BI report from our federated SAP Portal.
The user can navigate into the portal, but when he executes an BI iView, sometime he gets the following error message:
"500 Internal Server Error
blabla...
Root Cause
The initial exception that caused the request to fail was:
BEx Web application "xxxxx" does not exist. The application was either ended by a timeout or an error occurred, which was entered into the trace log. See SAP Notes 937697 and 948490"
He can then refresh the page and execute the report again, and it will works.
Here is our lanscape :
Federated Portal EP6 SP18
BI Portal SP20
Iview are created on the Federated Portal and consume BI web template.
I don't think about a timeout issue, since sometime we got the selection screen and once we click on a button (after some seconds) we got the error.
Any ideas ?
rgds,
SebastienHello,
Please could you remove the proxy setting and check whether it will give you same error or not.
Even we have faced the similar similar issue and once we have removed the proxy setting and cross checked it , it worked fine and later we came to know that the problem is in network proxy setting application.Check with the net working team for the same.
Thanks

Questions on Federated Portal Network
Hi All,
I have a few questions on Federated Portal Network. Please if someone can provide appropriate answers
It is said that the look n feel will be same. Will the consumer have the look n feel of the producer or the producer application will have the look n feel of the consumer portal. Also, if it is required for the content of the producer portal to maintain it's own look n feel, is it possible
How to take care of the performance bottlenecks. Are there any standards available to improve the performance
Any limitation on the no of producer portals which can be configured with the consumer portal
If one portlet, has undergone some kind of change, then how is the consumer portal notified of this. Is there some kind of synchronization mechanism that takes place or this change is implicitly conveyed to the consumer portal, both in the case of Remote Delta Link or Remote Role Assignment
How does the session management work between the consumer portal and producer portal
What is meant by transitive content sharing
Regards
NikhilHi Rasmus,
Is your consumer portal required High Availability? A scheduled re-bounce of the instance should help (weekly, monthly, etc.) as a preventive measure. Maybe you can observe to see how long does it take before the problem comes back (after a full cache refreshed) and then schedule your re-bounce accordingly. As much as we try to do our best, "things" happen
Or, you can adjust your cache settings (e.g. reduce the maxValidityPeriodInSecond property) to avoid the problem.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/5b/9f2d4293825333e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
According to the following link, the cache stores only semantic objects (iViews, pages, layouts and roles); since worksets are not semantic objects, could that be why?!

Could any body telthe steps to create I views in Consumers and how to test SSO and how to use COnsumers.
Points wil be assigned.
Thanks in Advance.

Akash..Hi Akash,
Steps you need to take:
- Setup trust between consumer and producer portal by exchanging certificates and making Visual Administrator entries in the Security Provider Service.
- Create producer.
- Register producer.
See this document for good descriptions of steps to take:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70191d1e-2bd1-2a10-d9b7-ba19500da527
Also for remote role assignment in NW 7.0 SP15 you need to add some UME Actions to a role that is aasigned to pcd_service user. See following link for the material:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/2236fc0b413fe1e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
Please have a look and reward points if helpfull. Good luck!

Missing MSS iViews in Federated Portal Network
Hello, portal gurus, we have a FPN related issue that hope some of you can help.
We have two portal systems that we set up as a Federated Portal
Network. One producer portal, verision is 7.0, SP11, and one
consumer portal, version is 7.0 SP13. We installed the ESS and MSS business
packages in the producer portal. Those business packages came with the SAP NetWeaver
2005 installation, and they are working ok on the producer portal.
In addition, we were able to do the remote role assignment in the
consumer portal successfully. The problem is that some of the MSS
links and iViews that are shown up ok in the producer portal are missing from the consumer portal.
Have anyone experienced the same issue? Is it because the dismatch of the SP level causing the issue? Are there any fixes to this issu?
Thanks a lot for any input!
JaneHi Jane,
PCD content and KM content are two different things and they have different transport mechanism.
If you want to transport PCD content to another portal go to System Administration/Transport/Transport Package/Export. In PCD tree in any place create transport package and add to it objects which you need (folders, roles, worksets, iviews and so on) and save transport package file localy on your computer or server. After that go to the system where you want to locate your content. Go to System Administration/Transport/Transport Package/Import If you save tranport file localy on your computer chose client and upload tranport file.
KM transport very clear describe here How to Export KM Contents by ICE protocol using Offline Channel Beside this way you can transport KM content use program Portal Drive (very useful program especially when you need quickly transport some KM files from one portal to another).

Federated Portal: accessing content, through Consumer, stored on Producer
Hello Guys,
I am working on a project which has a Federated Portal Network scenario. Details of it are as follows:
Details:
SAP EP 7.0 with SP11. Two portal installations: Consumer and Producer. Both Consumer and Producer are used for logging on by users. Consumer does not have any content. Users logging on to Consumer accesses all the content from Producer rendered through Remote Role Assignment which works fine. Through Consumer, I am able to access in Top Level Navigation, the Role and all assigned worksets, of the Producer. For a particular workset I have a page containing an AppIntegrator iView. AppIntegrator iView is being used as we are catering to more than one language on the portals. This AppIntegrator iView is rendering an HTML page which is stored in a KM repository on Producer (as I mentioned all content is on Producer). The path to the HTML page on KM repository is given in the URL Template property of the AppIntegrator iView created on the Producer.The path for example is something like: <System.protocol>://<System.server>:<System.port>/irj/go/km/docs/myrepository/testPage/<Request.Language>/includes/mypage.html
The links on the HTML page are all relative links. For eg, {a href = "/irj/portal/theQuickLink" target="_top"}. The behaviour I want is to navigate to the workset/page once I click the link on the HTML page while staying in the Consumer portal.
Problem/Question:
On the Consumer I see the HTML page and till this point the navigation is in Consumer portal. But when I click on any of the links on this page the navigation takes me to the Producer URL. I am transferred to the Producer portal and am no longer in the Consumer portal.
Thanks in advance.
KaushikVinoth,
I am aware about the solution provided by you. But my problem here is the Server name + port and not the rest of the URL.
For eg. my consumer portal is http://Aserver:50000
and producer portal is http://Bserver:51000.
While I am able to access the HTML page via consumer and till then the URL has the consumer Server + port details (for eg. http://Aserver:50000), once I click any link on it the URL in the address bar of the browser window changes to that of the producer for eg http://Bserver:51000. All subsequent browsing happens in the producer as I am transferred to the Producer.
Let me know if anybody has more suggestions.
Thanks,
Kaushik -
App page link to "federated portal" menu with webdynpro for JAVA
Hi experts,
we have completed the federated portal configuration from EP to CE7.1
Clients just log in EP, see both EP and CE content.
Now, clients want to make a index page with some link and fashion pictures pointed to exact EP or CE page.
I found a method "WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute" which can do this in EP.
but when i change content path to my CE content, the method failed.
WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(
"ROLES://NetWeaver_content_producers/<my CE producer's name>/portal_content/...<my path>",
WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,

is there something wrong calling the method? or anything else?

Using GRC in a Federated Portal Network
Hi All,
We are usning a Federated Portal Network and would like to do Role provisioning through GRC.I know that GRC can do role provisioning in one single portal.
I would like to find out if it can be done in a Federated Portal Environment in which I have a Consumer and Producer Portal.
In Simple Terms - I would like to Assign a role that is present in the Producer Portal through the Consumer portal (This is called as Remote Role Assignment) using GRC.
Can anyone please help me with this.
Any thoughts will be very helpful.
Best Regards,
VivekHi Vivek,
I have worked with CUP and EP and it works fine. I have not used CUP with Federated Portal so I don't have idea about this. It seems it will act something like CUA for EP. Am I correct?
CUP works with CUA but for that, it has to bec configured for CUA. I don't see any separate configuration for Federate Portal. Can you open a Customer message with SAP about this?
I doubt this will work but it is worth a try. Please let me know about the outcome.

How to integrate PPM 5 with Federated Portal Network
Hi experts,
If we are using PPM 5 standalone (without portal) and we want to include it into Federated Portal Network, which steps we have to follow to configurate PPM in the Federated Portal. Do we have to install stack java for PPM 5 at portal level or can we have PPM as producer without stack java in the consumer (federated portal).
Thanks a lot,
CAMILO URIBEHi Camelo,
For PPM 5.0, you need only abap stack only. For the portal you will need java stack also.
Business packege need to be applied for PPM 5.0 and the necesarry settings need to be done in portal to access PPM through portal.
The federaed or non-fedarated option is for portal only and it will not impact the decison of accessing PPM through portal.

CRM factsheet and BI 7.0 Web-Templates in Federated Portal Network Scenario
Hi All,
i have some essential questions regarding a Federated Portal Network Scenario.
Our costumer works with 1 CRM-Portal (CRM 5.0, EP 7.0) and 1 BI-Portal (BI/EP 7.0).
He decided to implement a Federated Portal Network, using the CRM-Portal as the Consumer-Portal.
In the CRM-Portal we are working with the Business Package for SAP_CRM which also comprises Reports that are called from the BI.
The BI-Reports (BI 7.0 Web Templates) are now stored in the BI-Portal
How i can assign these BI-Reports (producer) into the factsheet of the CRM-Portal (consumer)?
Is that generally possible that the facsheet of the Consumer Portal (CRM) works togehther with BI 7.0 Web Templates from the Producer-Portal (BI)?
Best regards
Mustafa DarwishIt's been solved.
See note: 1058268 - BI 7.0 WebTemplates do not run in CRM 5.0 specific iViews -
Federated Portal solution with 2004sBI.
Hi,
I would like to know the limitation when using fedelated portal solution with 2004s BI. that means 2004s BI web functionalities are used via Enterprise-wide portal, diferent from portal component for BI.
many customers who decide to implement mySAP ERP2005 solution is likely to implement 2 portal components. One is only for BI, another is for Enterprise wide portal, without considering system configuration deelpy.
About the portal content, the following URL show the solutions.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/92dceb49fd25e5e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
-Integration using a URL iView
-Export/import
-Global portal (federated portal)
I think the global portal is the best.
About the KM contents, I am now think what is the best way.
I think by using fedelated portal solution, KM content iView and KM navigation iView can be used on the corporate wide portal.
But I am not KM expert and now am considering how to use KM contents which is on BI's EP(KM) as same as those on Enterprise wide portal. is it possible if setting webdav on repository manager on enterprise wide portal?
Kind reagards,
MasaakiThere are a lot of things to consider with KM, one repository or 2? The federated Portal will work with assigning a KM navigation iView to a Role and using remote role assignment. This would put KM on the producer portal. The other option is to setup a Remote KM Repository on the Consumer Portal that points to the producer. This way you can broadcast to the producer KM repository and see this in the Consumer Portal.
With Collaboration Rooms, there are some limitations, such as the Room Directory doesn't work with remote URL iViews or Remote Role Assignments as it launches the URL on the consumer instead of the producer. Currently, Collaboration Rooms should be centralized on your single consumer. If you need to broadcast to it in the producer, you would have to setup a link to a remote repository...
Therefore, if you're working with KM specifically, it all works within the framework, but you need to decide how centralized or decentralized you want your document storage, so there are a lot of project considerations on this one....
Also, webdav works to access the KM repository both on the consumer and producer... -
UWL in Federated Portal Network
Hi All,
Can anyone please suggest how UWL works in case of Federated Portal Network? I have a requirement to show the tasks, alerts, notifications from more then one Producer in the same UWL iview on Consumer.
I followed the steps as mentioned in the SAP help document Running the UWL in the Consumer Portal http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/8084e2e8c9487fe10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm but no luck.
I would appreciate if anyone can let me know the proper process for doing this or could provide any document for it.
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Seema Rane.Hi Seema,
There are two ways to configure UWL on the federated portal:
1. Run UWL on the Consumer Portal:
a. Everything must be copied over, including xml files. Retrieve information directly from the backend. Use the IviewLauncher Handler. This uses the remote delta link from the producer.
Have a look here at the help documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/8084e2e8c9487fe10000000a114a6b/content.htm
2. Run UWL in Producer Portal:
a. Here the configuration is predefined.
b. Use remote role assignment or remote delta links
producer remote delta links should be available as remote delta links on the consumer.
copy as remote delta links; config is done on the producer
Have a look here at the help documentation:
EP7
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/81ab2f3bab6975e10000000a114a6b/content.htm

TLN missing for users in Federated Portal Network Setup
Hello All,
We are facing a weird problem in our Federated portal Production setup; when the users login to portal they are not able to see the TLN. On further investigating we found that this issue is happening when the user id is locked in any of the producer portals within our FPN environment due to which the users are not able to view roles related to other systems as well in which there id is active.
This issue is reproducable but only occur once the ID are locked and password is expired in one of the assigned system.
Our FPN setup is as below:
Consumer C connects to Producers
1. A (RDL)
2. B (RDL) - BI Dual Stack
3. D (RRA) - BI Dual Stack
In turn A (producer) connects to 4 ECC systems (F3, M1, R1, R5)
We are using RRA and RDL both in our environment.We have connected all federated portal with P4 Port, so if required we
can use RDL.
Please note our consumer C is EHP1 SP5 and both BI systems B and D are EP 7 sp13.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated as this is critical issue affecting users in our production environment badly.
Regards,
PriyankaHello,
This was an SAP bug. We raised an OSS message and it is taken care now. User now gets TLN and then portal runtime error if the id is locked.
