Page Portlet Settings Not Propagating to User Pages

Portal 9.0.2.6; Windows
We upgraded to this version a few weeks ago, and we're still ironing out the kinks. We have quite a few pages that are exposed as portlets. I've edited (not customized) the page portlet settings, selecting specific regions of the page to display.
When I spot check user's home pages, however, only the portlet headings show with no content. I've tried using the Reset to Defaults button in the customize form, but it doesn't work. Also, I imagine I'll have the same problems with any page-source portlets our users have added to their pages.
Is there a sure-fire way to do the following:
- Set the regions of a page to display when viewed in a portlet on a global level; and,
- Propagate these regions throughout our entire user base
Thank you for all the help!
Mary

I was able to figure out setting the global display on the default pages, but I'm still stymied at how to set the display for the page portlets for user customizations. In instances where users have added a page portlet, only the portlet header is displayed. I've done the following to try to fix the situation:
- Deleted and regenerated the page portlets
- Refreshed the repository
- Refreshed the display for individual user pages
Nothing seems to work. This is a major showstopper for us: we are scheduled to go "live" with the 9.0.2.6 version on Friday, and we do not want to ask users to recustomize their pages.
Windows; 9.0.2.6
Thanks for all the help!

Hide Display Settings not applied in User GPO

Hello,
I am trying to hide the display settings via a GPO so folks can't change the resolution. I set the "Disable the Display Control Panel" setting to enable, but users can still go to the Control Panel and change the display settings. Other parts of
the GPO are applying, like the Ctrl+Alt+Del settings. The GPO has the loopback function set to replace. From my understanding, that should force all user settings in that GPO on everyone who logs into the computer, whether they are in that OU or not.
Some settings apply, just not the Display settings. Is there something else I have to enable to get that working?
Thanks

Hi Jason,
It's been a while. How is it going? If it still doesn't work out, we can run command
gpresult/h report.html to collect group policy result to check this. Note: to collect computer part group policy settings, we need to run the command with administrative privileges.
In addition, regarding troubleshooting group policy issues, the following thread can be referred to as reference.

After updating to iOS 8 my iPad 2 does not keep my user name and password for isp start page

After updating to iOS 8 my i pad 2 does not store the user name and password for my earthlink start page. In past could go to bookmark and the start
page would automatically come up. Now I must enter the user name and password every time to access the personalized start page. tried to find some settings that needed changing but no luck. is this a problem with iOS 8 Earthlink referred me to apple they could not help any help here

Hello nkrlw,
It may be that AutoFill is disabled in Safari, or that Private Browsing is on.
Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill and make sure that Names and Passwords is on.
Go to your Home screen and open Safari. If Safari is black or dark instead of white or gray, Private Browsing is on. Safari doesn't save account names and passwords when Private Browsing is on. To turn off Private Browsing:
On iPad, tap the the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.
On iPhone and iPod touch, tap in the lower-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.

Cannot access page groups via Navigator "portlet could not be contacted"

On the Portal Navigator's Page Groups tab, the error "The portlet could not be contacted." appears where the list of Page Groups should be.

What is confusing is how 1 browser gets the error but another does not.
Any suggestions?
TIA

This issue seems to be related to the specific URL used to access the Navigator. I was using a specific URL to display a particular page region for editing, namely
/portal/page?_pageid=6,3,6_23&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL&p_otype=FOLDER&p_octx=FOLDER.334478_1453&p_domain=wwc&p_sub_domain=SITEEXP
Once the Navigator is accessed via this URL, all subsequent attempts to access Page Groups Navigator portlet fail.
I changed my process to not use the URL above.

2013 Custom Web Parts in Page Layouts not showing for users

Custom Web Parts in Page Layouts not showing for users
I have created a master page in the root site collection for a subsite I am developing. I created content types and custom page layouts for the pages within the subsite.
I used the snippet tool in the design manager to create web parts and page field markup which I copied into the custom layout HTML pages in the root site collection. For instance I have an image viewer web part that I place there to serve as a section title.
The problem is that I can see all these customer layout page parts no problem but my users cannot. This leads me to believe its permissions, I am site owner of both the subsite and root site collection.
The users that cannot see the web parts are site members of the site and restricted read users on the root site collection (where the layouts are stored).
What gives I'm finding it hard to understand why a snipet generated web part wouldn't show in all pages created from that layout page.
Any help would be appreciated, Havent found anything on this issue online. weird.

It is a permission issue indeed. Fix is simple, make sure you check out the page layout page, then check it back in as published version.

SEO Properties settings not showing in Term Driven Pages tab in Term Store

Hi,
Many people have documented the ability of setting up SEO properties to a term in the term store in SharePoint 2013, but I was not able to find a place to do that.
Can anybody help me on figuring out how to set SEO properties for a given term via the term store UI ?
I read somewhere that this can be achieved by setting the properties in the Term - Driven pages tab of a term but can't seems to have such option available.
Thanks and Best Regards,

Portlets can not be seen by Public Users: Help Please!

Hi,
I have seen another message that might be the same that is happening to me. I have created a content area, with folders and items. I have selected all available options to make them public , appart from publish them as portlets. I have added them to a page but when I enter the page as a Public User (without logging into Portal) the portlets can not be seen...There are others that can be seen ...Could you help me with this?
Many thanks
Mariela

I assume you're using the generic folder portlet to view the folders.
If you publish a folder as a portlet, are you able to see it?

Share Point 2013 - User Settings not initialised

Hi there,
We are using the SharePoint 2013 server on top of Windows 2012.
We've recently created user profile application service and activated the Site Feed feature.
After that one of our users experiences an annoying thing, she is being redirected from the Home Page to another page that says "Edit user settings" and "User settings not initialized ". No other user is experiencing these issues. Please
help.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that a spectial user got "Edit User Settings" when visiting a site collection.
I recommend to
remove the user from that site collection completly and then re-add him. You can select Site Settings, under "Users and Permissions", click People and groups. Select the group and user to remove it.
In addition, you need to check the user permission. You can select Site Settings, under "Site permissions", click People and groups. Click Check Permissions, enter the user.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:

SRM user settings not populated

Hello,
We are using SAP SRM 7.02 with NWBC and we are testing this in sandbox.user id has been assigned to sap_all and new and SAPSRM/employee_ehp1 role.
NWBC Launched --> Click on SRM user settings---> not populating the details/page navigation to details page is not opening.Pls see the screen shots.
When click on the SRM user settings same page is opening.
Please provide you inputs to resolve this.
Ranjit.

You observation is correct and it is the standard design of such portal roles as SRM Administrator, SRM Strategic Purchaser, or SRM Operational Purchaser to not have "personalization", but only Employee Self Service role.

User Settings not working. Please help!

<TD noWraplign=right>I am trying to build some interactive portlets using User prefs and have had no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my code for the first portlet (view_course_defaultView is set as a user preference in the web service):
privatevoidPage_Load(objectsender, System.EventArgs e)
IPortletContext context = PortletContextFactory.CreatePortletContext(Request, Response);
IPortletRequest pRequest = context.GetRequest();
IPortletResponse pResponse = context.GetResponse();
IPortletUser user = context.GetUser();
try
if(user.HasSettingsRight(SettingType.User))
pResponse.SetSettingValue(SettingType.User, "view_course_defaultView", "All");
else
Response.Write("You can't do that");
catch(Exception ex)
Response.Write(ex.Message + ex.StackTrace);
Here is my code for the second portlet (again view_course_defaultView is set as a User preference in the Web Service):
privatevoidPage_Load(objectsender, System.EventArgs e)
try
IPortletContext pContext = PortletContextFactory.CreatePortletContext(Request, Response);
IPortletResponse pResponse = pContext.GetResponse();
IPortletRequest pRequest = pContext.GetRequest();
IPortletUser pUser = pContext.GetUser();
if(pUser.HasSettingsRight(SettingType.User))
Response.Write(pRequest.GetSettingValue(SettingType.User, "view_course_defaultView"));
Response.Write(pRequest.GetSettingCollection(SettingType.User).Count);
catch(Exception ex)
Response.Write(ex.Message + ex.StackTrace);
The only thing written to the screen in the second portlet is 0 for the User settings count. Does anyone see what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Jackie Kajdzik

I am having the same issue. The Admin, Portal and CommunityPortal prefs set fine. However, the user pref will not set. Could this be because this pref is not to be set in this manner?

Error in flatfile load - date not compliant with user date settings

Hi,
I want to load a flatfile into BI 2004s.
so i created a flatfile datasrource, transformation etcetc.. all fine so far.
the file contains 2 dates in format YYYYMMDD and are loaded in DATS infoobjects (also yyyymmdd).
but when i load the data into the PSA it immediatly dumps with error message "19771009 does not match the user-dependent date format --> long text"
the long text sais 19771009 does not correspond to the date format that is assigned to the current user BIWREMOTE. which is correct.. cos there date is DD-MM-YYYY
when i change the date format in the user settings to YYYY-MM-DD it works fine...... in the forground. In the background,whatever i do, it dumps with this errormessage.
so i have 2 questions:
since when is, while loading to the PSA, the date format linked&checked with the date format in the user setting? i cannot recall ever having this issue.
did anyone encounter this problems.
grtz

Database Studio 7.9.08.09 - Could not access to user management; Deleting old settings and reinstallation did not bring a change -- database studio deinstallation cannot be performed anymore

Hi Community,
for a few months I have been struggling with a SAP Max DB database Studio issue and finally, I had to give up the idea of being able to fix this on my own. I am desperately seeking for help and I hope that you may be able to give me a hint, advice or even a solution.
This is what happened:
I used to run Windows 7 on 32bit. I also had Database Studio installed - which was running fine then.
After a harware upgrade, I am running now Windows 7 on a 64 bit System. All my files from my local disk (C:\) have been restored and copied onto my new system.
I reinstalled Database Studio Version 7.9.08.09 onto my new System. But on the first try to start the program I received the error that said "Could not Access to user Management.See Window -> Show View-> Event Log Viewer for more Details."
However the Event Log Viewer was empty.
After searching the web for a solution, I followed the advice given in this community and deinstalled Database Studio and deleted the C.\Users\MyAccount\sdb folder manually.
I reinstalled Database Studio and started it as Administrator.
However, the error is still appearing.
And, what makes it even worse is : now I am not able to uninstall Database Studio anymore.
When I run SAP MaxDB Installation Manager and select the instance of database Studio to be uninstallled I am receiving the error:
"ERR: Unhandled Exception: Can't call method: "GenPackageList" on an undefined value at SDB/Install/Gui/Dialogs/SelectInstance.pm line 328"
Any advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Agnieszka

Hello Yashwanth,
thank you for your quick Response.
Yes, I downloaded and installed the 64 bit Version of dbstudio.
I downloaded and ran the following .exe file: maxdb-studio-win-64bit-x86_64-7_9_08_09.exe
I am running the following Java-Version:
Java Plug-in 1.6.0_45
Using JRE version 1.6.0_45-b06 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
I myself am not a SAP customer. However, the Company I am working for is a SAP customer.
Can you explain in Detail, how to create a ticket with SAP?
Thanks,
Agnieszka
