PCD Search

Hi all,
We have created a Index for PCD(Portal content folder).
But some how its not indexing.
Can anyone tell me what could be the reason?
Regards.

Ankur - where did you mean to check permissions? I have the same issue where the index isn't working, but for the index the permission is Everyone - Full Control. And in KM Content, there isn't a permisssions option on the pcd folder. Only properties, under Settings
Thanks.
I've also put in another post for this issue. But thought I would check with you to see if you had anymore info.
Thanks again,
Shelly

PCD search using TREX SP16

Hi All,
I am trying to search for portal iviews, pages & roles using TREX.
I created the index & assigned the PCD folder (I have done all the pre-requisites for PCD search)....
Then when i opened the Index Administration page, the status for the index was red. I tried reindexing it, but the application log showed me errors,

"XIndexing documents failed. Method not supported on PCDSearchIndex..Continue crawling... "
My portal is at SP16, with KMC SP16 PL3...
TREX is up at SP16 PL2....

Please help me out.....
Thanks,

PCD search for delta links

Hi all,
I'm trying to look for delta link pcd objects in my portal.
I have code that works for iviews, pages, roles & worksets, for example:
NamingEnumeration ne = dirCtx.search("","(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.iview)",
pcdSearchControls);
The following example shows how to read ONE delta link properties::
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/703fd42043053ce10000000a1553f6/content.htm
I want to run this code for all delta links in the portal.
How to look for ALL delta links by code?
I'm using 7.00.17.
Regards,
Omri

Hi
use our coding to fetch iViews/pages/...
got through them and check wether one is a delta link or not:
If the object is not a delta link or inherited via a delta link, getDlModificationState() returns null.

Location of Desktop Innerpage in PCD

Hi there,
we are running an EP60 SP16 portal and creating a whole new Portal Desktop with new Default Frameworkpage and Desktop Innerpage.
For starters I looked at the Default Frameworkpage located in
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/general/com.sap.portal.frameworkpage
Where exactly is the Desktop Innerpage located in the Portal Content Directory, as well as all the iViews contained in the Desktop Innerpage? Already users the search on 'Name' and 'ID' in the PCD search, but can not find any of them.
Many thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I have the same problem, as described in my post: Displaying login form at home page (SDN style)
As per URL sent by Jagadeep, I think we can't make a copy/paste from innerpage:
"(...)Page: Desktop Innerpage(com.sap.portal.innerpage)
This object is a portal page embedded in the main Default Framework Page page.(...)"
Please let me know if you have any advance.

Tool/Utility/Method to retrieve roles and mapping of those roles.

Hi friends,
We are running SAP EP6 SP2 on WEB AS 6.20.
I want name and description of all roles created and mapping of those roles ( Roles -> groups and Roles -> Users ) in this system. The one way to do it is using User Administration -> Roles but it'll take a lot of time. Is there any tool/utility/shortcut method available for the same?
Regards,
Nilz
Message was edited by: nilz

Hi nilz,
I don't think there is any tool as such to do this. U need some programmatic approach for this. U can get the roles using pcd search but I am not sure if u can get the mapping details.

IndexmanagementService XIndexing documents failed on PCDSearchIndex

Hi,
I have an issue with and index created to search through the pcd. I have created an index as defined in the following link and have selected Portal Content in my index datasource.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/b2/d59a4271c80a31e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
When I click on reindex, I get the following error message:
Operation failed Method not supported on PCDSearchIndex.
If I open the Application Log, I get the following error message every minute.
IndexmanagementService XIndexing documents failed. Method not supported on PCDSearchIndex. Continue crawling...
Anyone has an idea on how to fix this issue?
Thanks
Renaud

Hi Renaud,
no need to fix here, just don't try to reindex manually
PCD Index function is completely different than other indexes in CM / TREX.
See also your referenced docu page: 'A schedule for automatic indexing is not required.'
Background: PCD search index perform a search against the user's role content.
When a user logs into portal, the content of the user roles is completely loaded into the PCD cache and kept in memory. Thus performing a search is very fast as it happens in memory (no need to load content from DB or filesystem).
So you'd better not try to index or crawl the PCD repoitory. Those methods are
not supported and implemented - as stated in the log.

Cannot find default Portal error iView DedicationAlerter

Hi,
I would like to have the default portal error iView collapsed as per default to avoid showing a long stack trace. The path to the default iView can be set here:
a.      Choose System Administration -> Support ->Support-Desk -> Portal Runtime -> Workload Distribution Configuration.
b.      Click on folder Workload Distribution Configuration.
c.      Go to edit mode for service DistributionConfiguration.
d.      In the field Default Alert iView Name enter the desired iView path and click on Apply.
I can see here that the current default error iview is called: com.sap.portal.supportability.isolde.DedicationAlerter
But where in my PCD can I find this iView so that I can either change a property on it or make a copy to customize? I have done a PCD search and it does not seem to exist.
Or is there another way I can accomplish the same? I know about the Visual Admin settings like DEVELOPMENT_MODE and DetailedErrorResponse but the problem is that they also remove the first line of the stack trace. I would still like to display that line to help support.
Br Jan

From the setting as you have mentioned previously I think it is directly calling the portal component.
Probably you can have you custom component name in there and see. (download the existing par, do necessary modifications and upload with a different name)

How can I display appraisals in "employee search(MSS)"?

I created a new iView that is copied from employee search of MSS .
<pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/line_manager/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.iviews/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.hcm/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.generalinfo_employeesearch>
I changed the properity as below.
Organizational Structure View > MSS_HAP_EE_SRCH
Group of Organizational Structure Views > MSS_HAP_STATUS
As a result I can confirm the screen of appraisal table in this iView but the appraisal data is not displayed in this iView.
Should I customise any more?
I think that the cause of this problem is in "HRHAP_PORTAL_COLUMN_FILL_ERP".
There is many parameters and table, but I cannot find the point to give it to this function module.
Best regards,
Makoto

I have found the standard iView & page...

How can I fetch all the PCD roles from EP!

Hello,
I need to fetch all the available pcd roles in EP. Right now I am trying to fetch pcd roles under Portal Content directory. I need a clarification whether this is the only place the pcd roles are available or is there any other location where rest of the pcd roles are available?

How to get title of an iview? Have only pcd-url...

Hi,
in my WebDynpro i need to get a list from PCD
that has
- the iview-ID
- the title of the iview
that resides in a directory.
I get the ids, eg. pcd:portal_content/rwe/bir/navigation/rwe.bir.ws.BIReports/rwe.bir.ivu.filter.tra.Istkosten_je_Periode_8
with the following source:
Hashtable env3 = new Hashtable();
env3.put(IPcdContext.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, sapUser);
env3.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env3.put (com.sap.portal.directory.Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT,PcmConstants.ASPECT_SEMANTICS);
InitialContext ctx1 = null;
DirContext dirCtx1;
List pageList = null;
try {
   ctx1 = new InitialContext(env3);
   //        Pass the iView location here...as Daniel said..
dirCtx1 =(DirContext) ctx1.lookup("pcd:portal_content/rwe/bir/content/generated/");
PcdSearchControls pcdSearchControls = new PcdSearchControls();
pcdSearchControls.setReturningObjFlag(false);
pcdSearchControls.setSearchScope(PcdSearchControls.SUBTREE_WITH_UNIT_ROOTS_SCOPE);
dirCtx1.addToEnvironment(Constants.APPLY_ASPECT_TO_CONTEXTS,Constants.APPLY_ASPECT_TO_CONTEXTS);
NamingEnumeration ne = dirCtx1.search("","(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.iview)",
     pcdSearchControls);
pageList = new ArrayList();
int i = 0;
while (ne.hasMoreElements()) {
i++;
IPcdSearchResult searchResult =
     (IPcdSearchResult) ne.nextElement();
//        This location will give you the full path of the page with page name
String location = searchResult.getName();
messageManager.reportSuccess("Got PCD-Url: " + location);
But - how can i get the title of the iview?
I tested also the code:
env.put(IPcdContext.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,sapUser);
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(com.sap.portal.directory.Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT,   pcmConstants.ASPECT_ADMINISTRATION);
InitialContext ctx = null;
String objectID = "pcd:portal_content/rwe/bir/content/generated/";
iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
Object pcdObject =iCtx.lookup(objectID);
NamingEnumeration children = null;
if (pcdObject instanceof IAdminBase)
children = ((IPcdContext) ((IAdminBase) pcdObject).getImplementation (IAdminBase.CONTEXT)).listBindings("");
msgMgr.reportSuccess("Element: IAdminBase");
}else{
children = ((IPcdContext) pcdObject).listBindings("");
msgMgr.reportSuccess("Element: PCDObject");
Binding child;
int ch = 0;
while (children.hasMoreElements())
   child = (Binding) children.next();
   child.getName();
if (child.getName().startsWith("rwe.bir.ivu.filter")
     && child
     .getClassName()
     .equalsIgnoreCase("com.sapportals.portal.ivs.iviews.IPortalIview")) {
     msgMgr.reportSuccess("Element: " + child.getName());
then i get the title attribute, so getting something like
'locale= , Text="The title of the iview" '
But: how to collect both (title and id) in one way??
Thanks
Bernhard

HI Sarma,
Unfortunatelly, the variable p_infopackage is not accessible in the FORM.
It seems that the only variable I have access to is p_subrc...
To help you here are the first line of my selection routine :
program conversion_routine.
Type pools used by conversion program
type-pools: rsarc, rsarr, rssm.
tables: rssdlrange.
Global code used by conversion rules
$$ begin of global - insert your declaration only below this line -
TABLES: ...
DATA:   ...
$$ end of global - insert your declaration only before this line   -
    InfoObject      = 0TCTREQUID
    Fieldname       = REQUEST
    data type       = CHAR
    length          = 000030
    convexit        =
form compute_REQUEST
tables l_t_range structure rssdlrange
changing p_subrc like sy-subrc.
      Insert source code to current selection field
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line        -
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
          read table l_t_range with key
               fieldname = 'REQUEST'.
          l_idx = sy-tabix.
I think that your idea is the good one, but I do not see the how to get the datasource name for my infopackage...
If someone has another idea, it could be very helpful for me.
Thanks
Pierre-Yves
