Location of Component Inspector tool in EP7

Hello,
I would like to know where the component Inspector tool is located in EP7 portal. I have uploaded a PAR file, but I cant find the Component Inspector tool to run it. Before, this tool used to be inside the Java Developer Role, but we dont have that role available in our portal.
Basically, our requirement is to execute a PAR file that we have uploaded? How to do that?
Thank you.

Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and in a clip the audio adjustment only shows a speaker? help

Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture (in project library) - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and when I select a movie clip and then click on audio adjustments the audio adjustment appears as a speaker icon and I don't know how to get to the various audio options? It was working fine one minute and then I seemed to lose the functionality. Also editing a photo in a photo or getting rid of ken burns effect etc does not seem to work. help

Can anyone shed any light on this as I am having the same problem? One minute it works fine, the next you get the error message above.
Many thanks.

Inspector tool missing

I'm not to sure what happened, but somehow the Inspector tool in iWeb has gone missing on my computer. I click on the Inspector icon and nothing happens. If I go under View Menu and click "show inspector" nothing happens, although when I do this, the option to "hide inspector" comes up on the View Menu.
The other tools work (e.g. Media, colors, fonts, etc.) just fine.
Any ideas on what's happened here? The program is pretty useless without the inspector tool.
Thanks!

i have that problem sometimes. it happens that the inspector moves out of the window. you need to delete the following file (search using spotlight):
com.apple.iweb.plist

PCD Inspector Filter doesn't work

Hi all experts,
I try to implement a PCD Inspector filter. I've implemented the java filter class very similar with com.sap.portal.demo.CountryFilterService provided on the Webinar Filtering role and workset content for developers.
my filterString is:
filterExpression = "(Cash=SI)";
but, when I try to execute this on the pcd inspector this error appear:
#1#com.sapportals.portal.pcd.pl.search.ParseException: No parentheses expected between position 3 and 11. The character "(" at position 3 is not recognized as a legal operator in filterString "(&((Cash=SI))((&(|(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.page)(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.iview))(com.sapportals.portal.navigation.FolderEntry=true))))".
this is a java class issue? how can I write the filterString to solve the problem?
thanks in advance
david

Hi,
I never tried to implement a PCD Inspector filter but if I look at the error message: The character "(" at position 3 is not recognized as a legal operator in filterString "(&((Cash=SI))((&(|(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.page)(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.iview))(com.sapportals.portal.navigation.FolderEntry=true))))".
I see that ((Cash=SI)) has double parenthesis and i think that's what bothers him.
Its a long shot but try:
filterExpression = "Cash=SI";

PCD inspector (Mass property change)

Hi!
We encountered strange "problem".
We have a role with lots of KM iviews, those iviews are pointing to a different places in KM.
In some of them path property is like "/documents/Public Documents/...", in other ones it's like "/documents/Public%20Documents/...". It happened because initial error in path, that then was reproduced by delta links (and those links were then edited, so it's not possible to chenge only initial object).
So, the question is... Is it possible to somehow mass-change only a part of 'path' property? Something like "change all 'Public%20Documents' to 'Public Documents' in all iViews in a given folder".
Am I describing question clear?
Thanks in advance for help!
Regards,
DK

Hi Dennis,
Please go thru the PDF<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4ee6d3ee-0901-0010-658f-d9b21cdebce4">PCD inspector</a>.
It describes how to do the mass property change.The change which u are refering is possible. An example is given for the same under the section 'Mass property change' under 'General PCD Inspector capabilities'.
Hope this helps.

Can no longer access iPhoto from the iMovie camera browser..not working. Also the Inspector tool not working properly. Cannot change clip duration.

How can I fix the INSPECTOR Tool? Clip duration is not working properly, it is very erratic. You type a number and a different one comes up on the clip.
Suddenly the iPhoto Camera browser in iMovie is not working properly either. Can not access my iPhotos to include them in iMovie project.

Have you tried this?
From the "HOME" screen, go to "SETTINGS > PRIVACY > PHOTOS" and see if iMovie is listed in the "PHOTOS" page. If it is, then tap the iMovie switch to "ON"
Now your Videos & Photos should be accessible in the iMovie App.

Help: I don't have speed in my inspectors tools!

I only have all the effects accept speed. I want to make something in reverse but i can't becuase i don't have speed in my inspector's tool's. PLEASE HELP

You might have to Optimize that clip in order to enable the speed settings. Highlight the clip in the Project Browser. Then under the File Menu choose Optimize. Usually this is enough to get the Video Adjustments working.

Interesting PCD bug? Runaway process creating objects?

Currently, we are on EP 6 sp 16. We have had a very interesting situation occur with our development portal at random times. Not always, but every so often, the following happens. We will either copy an oobject (for instance an iView) to another folder or change the id on an object. As we step through the wizard on the final step where it should complete the action, it will sit at 50% complete and just flash over and over....50%....over and over....after several minutes, it will error out. You would think that nothing happened, but what actually happens is that it makes THOUSANDS of copies of the object...naming them like myiview_0, myiview_1, myiview_10, myiview_100, myiview_1000, myiview_2, myiview_20....and on and on. And yes, there will be thousands made. As you can guess, it is VERY annoying. Luckily our folder layout makes it easy to simply go delete the whole folder with all the multiple copies, but had we not done that.....geeez....lots of work. What is worse is that sometimes, you can't actually see all the duplicate objects until the portal is restarted (I found this out, because they showed when I tried to create a package but not in the PCD in content admin). They actually are invisible in the PCD!
Sooooo anyone else run across this? Any idea why this might be happening?

Well...no one seemed to be having the same problem. We have not found the root cause, but thankfully, using the PCD Inspector tool makes it MUCH easier to delete all the "corrupt" objects (though it is still time consuming as each "hiccup" creats about 30 pages of bad objects). I will just mark this one up to one of those portal "oddities". =)

EP6.0 How to restore deleted Content in the PCD

Hi,
I have suddenly discovered that the entire custom created folder with all the content objects( Roles, Worksets, pages, Iviews etc ) in it suddenly disappeared from the PCD. I have searched extensively with the folders, pages, ivies etc but couldn't find a trace of any one of them, prompting me to think that those have been deleted by some body.
Can I restore these objects and how do I find out who and when those objects were deleted?
I have super admin access into the Portal.
Thanks
Arunava

Hi Arunava,
First check if they are really deleted using the PCD Inspector tool available for download in the Downloads section of the SDN.
If they are really deleted then only restore can help.
Cheers,
Kiran

Mass change: iViews Properties (gui type, alias,..)

Do you know how I can get the read/write version of the PCD Inspector?
(system: EP 6.0 SP2 P4)
Thank you. Ciao. Davide

Hi Davide Sini,
to get the read/write version of the Pcd Inspector please do the following:
- log in with your SAP user to SDN
- navigate to: Home -> Enterprise Portal (click on the Enterpris Portal node text of the "Developers Areas" detail navigation so that an additional entry "EP Content" appears in the detail navigation)
- click on the submenu "Portal Content Portfolio" of the "EP Content"
- On the page that appears then you will find a link "Browse Content Portfolio" in the upper right corner. Please click on this link.
- On the page that appears then you will find different links for "Every User", "Line Manager" and "Specialist". Please click on the "Other" link of the "Specialist"
- On the page that appears then you will find three tab strips: "SAP Content(...)", "Vendor Content(...)", "SAP Exchange(...)". Please click on the "SAP Exchange(...)" tab.
-> on the page that appears then you will find the download of the read/write PCD Inspector tool.

IVIEW DETAILS IN DATABASE

Where Iview details are stored at database level in PORTAL?

Hi,
The PCD Browsers allowed you to browse the Portal Conent Directory. You have to download and install the Package com.sap.pct.tools.pcd_inspector.epa which can be download from SDN. After installation, you can start the tool by Url:
http://[localhost]:[port]/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.pct.tools.dev_studio.default.
Before that you should assign the role com.sap.pct.tools.pcd_inspector_role for that user in the User Administration Section in the Portal. The PCD Inspector tools allows you to browse the PCD where almost all portal relevant objects (like iViews, pages, roles, worksets, systems etc.) are stored. You can able to Edit and delete the objects in the PCD.
This is helpful for you. If you have any doubt, ask me.

Third Party WCM tools integrated into SAP EP7

Hi All,
I am wondering if anybody has experiences with integrating a third party WCM tool with EP7 for intranet-style content in the portal, and whether an assessment versus Web Page Composer has been made? I have looked at Web Page Composer but am interested in seeing what best-of-breed third party offerings are certified for integration to EP7 and how these compare.
Points will be awarded for useful responses.
Regards
John

Hi John,
I've seen btexx easyWCM in some projects and although I do not like it, many users are quite content with the features.
Afaik it is certified for SAP EP 7.0, have a look at it.

Christian

Inspector link tools disabled?

I'm just getting started with iWeb, and have had some initial success geting my web page up (just travel photos -- yawn). However I have not had much using the Inspector tool to set up hyperlinks, as the "Enable as hyperlinks" checkbox is greyed out and non-functional, as is the pull-down menu. Not really sure whats' going on, as no one else has reported that problem. Have still managed to create working links by dragging page titles from the "Site organizer" window.
Is this one of those problems to be cured by trashing the preferences?
Thanks!

The only way to have a photo on a photo page is to put a Shape box in front of the photo and have it as a link to the collection. However that would negate being able to click on the photo to get the larger version to pop up.
The Shape box must have a color but have its opacity at 1%. Also turn of stroke for it. It will then work as you'd like. But I repeat, you won't be able to bring up the large version of the photo unless you run the slideshow.
If you don't want the slideshow you can delete the slideshow button and as long as every photo has a Shape box in front of it there will be no way to get into the slideshow mode.
To test these tricks out try publishing to a folder on the desktop and then run it in Safari to see the results. Much faster than normal publishing.
Do you Twango?

Firefox dev tools inspector window keeps going blank

every few times i switch to FF to debug, the inspector window is totally blank. if i click the inspector tool and highlight html, it will appear to be scrolling over in the inspector window to highlight the code, but the page is totally blank. close/reopen tools fixes, but a few times later its broken again. has been going on for months and months, at least since v32. Using FirefoxDeveloperEdition.

Does this also happen if you use a release version instead of the beta?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
