PDK iviews refresh the Portal's detailed navigation

Hi All,
When a postback occurs in my PDK iviews, both the iview and the detailed navigation are refreshed.
Is it supposed to be like that?
Is there a way to prevent it?
(It doesn't happen with Web Dynpro iviews for example)
Thanks,
Omri

Hi Omri,
One of the properties of an iView is Isolation Method.
If this property is set to URL the iView will be rendered into it's own iFrame and not to the page one.
But this will disable the server side eventing between portal components, so take that into consideration.
Regards,
Tsachi

Authentication in an application placed in an URL iview in the portal

Hi all gurus!
I have a delicate problem: we have an application that we have deployed on the same WAS as the portal runs on and that application is presented through an URL iview in the portal.
We want to use the LogonTicket created by the portal for authentication in the application and a colleague of mine put a "*" (asterisk) for requested roles in the web xml file. The problem is that the users had to be administrators in the portal in order for it to work and that is not very suitable. If you removed the admin role from the users the authentication stopped to work.
Does anyone have a step by step guide on which files to configure and how to do it properly? I have googled the problem and also searched the forum but I haven't found any solutions. My colleague followed this description and that didn't help:
[http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/webapp/security.html]
I forgot to mention: it's 7.1 portal we are using.
All the best!

Hi Sridhar.
Thanks for the links. I followed them but I can see that SAP either are general in their instructions or, if specific, talking about Visual Admin, in any case they couldn't give a complete assistance.
Never the less I have managed to come a bit further by creating a UME role from within Identity Management in the portal and adding the application of interest to the role under the tab "Assigned Actions".
So now I'm also logged into the application when I logg on to the portal, I can see that in the portal logs. But, when I'm going to take the last step which invokes the call of a service I get a new error.
Here are two entries from the "Default trace" and beneath are two entries from the "SAP Log". I comment further in a separate answer since I otherwise exceed the maximum character length...

Unable to see an iView in the Portal

Hi All,
I have a scenario, where in I have an iview in a page, the page can be in the workset,this workset has assigned to a role, and this role has been give to a user,now I have a user login to the portal , i am unable to see the iview in the portal, what could be the possible reason?
Regards
Chandra

If U r not getting the Role navigation structure in the portal then make sure that the "Entry point" for the role has been set to True.
If you are getting the Role structure in the portal but not getting the iView then check the iView Property "Invisible in Navigation Area" property set to false.
Next you can check for the iView Permission , if the User has permission for te iView or not.
Hope now u can get the iView in the portal
Cheers

How can I extract a km-iView out the portal to redefine it?

Hello folks,
I want to redefine the com.sap.km.cm.navigation-iView to serve generic access to the users home drive by using the <User.UserID>-variable. Therefore I have to extract/download the iView out of the Portal. I wasn't able to find KM-Content in Systemadministration->Support->Portal Runtime->Browse Deployment. What do I have to do?

Urgent:- BEx Analyzer Workbook as an iView in the Portal

Hi,
Can somebody please tell is it possible to create BEx Analyzer Workbook as an iView in the Portal?
If it is possible, how to create the iView?
Please help.

Hi Nikesh,
The question relates much more to analysing queries.
BEx Designer and WAD are for designing queries,output of which can be seen in BEx AnalyserWorkbook. These are used for analysing the data with some test data entered by user.
But if we want them to be seen as a portal iview report we need to use BEx WebApplication Designer iview as we generally user for WAD n BEx.
Use the Version of the BEx Appl as BW or BI and then give propeties like system name,BEx Query,Appl parameters.
We need to see tht these queries in the same compatible format as with portal.
Please note "BExquery" must be the one which generates your reports.
I am not sure whether i could answer you but hope my idea is clear.
Thanks and regards,
Shaila

Unable to view some iviews in the portal

Hi,
We are unable to view some of the iviews in the portal. For example i go to System Administration>System Configuration> I should see portal content and the list of systems etc but i get a Page Cannot Be Displayed error. But we are able to view this on the server machine. The server is in a different network. What could be the problem. We have EP 7.0 .
Regards,
Sridevi

>But we are able to view this on the server machine. The server is in a different network. What could be >the problem. We have EP 7.0 .
If you are able to see into Server then it means IViews are working fine, then it seems to be network issue, the applciaiton might be blocked so you can check the network setting.

ReturnToPortal() doesn't refresh the portal page

In the community preference page, when finishing changing the preference, calling IPortletResponse.ReturnToPortal() closed the preference page but didn't refresh the portal page. What needs to be done to refresh the portal page so the portlet can be refreshed with the new pref data?
ALUI 6.1MP1.
TIA!

This is why it doesn't work...
There is a bug that I filed for this, basically that icon on the portlet header works for user and admin preferences... it make sense to add community preferences there too to make it all consistent.
The problem is: community preferences behaved differently.. in 5.x, the only way to edit them was to go through edit this community... the refresh mechanism is built into the community editor.
In g6 that didn't change... you still need to go through that route to actually update the portal with the new preferences. going through the icon does nothing. user and admin prefs will work b/c they also worked like that in 5.x.
Basically, it's a bug b/c community prefs never worked like that... adding it to the button promoted the sense that it should work, which it never did...
so you have to go through the edit this community route to make it refresh.

Order iviews in the portal

Hi folks,
I have a problem with the order in which they are the iViews in the portal.
I have 3 roles with the entry point to "yes", are in iView, and the user has the 3 assigned roles. The problem comes when entering the portal, I want a role of the three is displayed before the other two, but I get third. How can I order the roles and therefore the iViews?

Hi,
For example you have 3 roles A,B & C. If you want to arrange the roles in the order B,A,C in portal, then use sort priority in the role property.
open the properties of role B and give 20 as sort priority , for A-25 and for C - 30.
Hope this clears your doubt.
Regards,
VV.

Configuring UWL and developing iviews in the portal in BI

what is the posibility of configuring Universal Worklist and developing iviews in the portal in BI?

Hi,
You will be able to see only the worklist items in your UWL window. Please go to the SAP BW inbox and check if some workflow e-mails are there.
If workflow e-mails are there, then it is a config issue in your configuration of UWL.
Hope this helps.

Prompting Users to Refresh iViews in the Portal

Hello SDN,
How do I modify properties setting via Property Editor to prompt users to refresh the iViews PRIOR to execution?
Please advice, thanks for any helps.
Regards,
NN

Hi NN,
This needs to be decided at the time of creating an iview only. However you can still edit that property by going to that ivew.
Open that iview.
Go to properties.
Enable the Show 'Refresh' Option radio button.
Secondly you can use the option of Cache Validity Period over there.
If you are concerned about some webdynpro iview you can simply increase the connection timeout in the corresponding Jco connection.
Hope this helps!

Open iviews in new window from detailed navigation context menu function

hello,
when we click in the detail navigation menu and in the context menu (because many of ours users are used to right click to open a link in a new window on the internet) on the functionnality "open in new window", the start page is always display instead of the corresponding iview ...
could you tell me if there is a configuration into the portal to :
1- suppress the function "open in new window" from the context menu in the detailed navigation !
2- make the iview displayed into the new window really the iview desired !
best regards,
Olivier.

Hi Olivier,
The frist part is very precise. Not possible. Period. The reason is that the links are calling JS and not directly calling a http target.
About the second part: Within the Light Framework, you create a Light Detailed Navigation. And in this case, the links are direct http links. So with that, you have what you want.
For the Light Framework see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/43/0174a642406db7e10000000a422035/frameset.htm and around.
Hope it helps

Unable to View the contents in Detailed Navigation

Hi,
I have changed the IP address of the machine on which the portal server was installed to a Public IP address and from then onwards only i am facing the problem in the detailed navigation.Everything is working fine except the detailed navigation.
I am able to view the links in the Detailed navigation only on the local machine(Same System where EP is installed).But when i try to access from the internet on any other machine i am not able to view the links in the detailed navigation.It appears minimized.When i click maximize(Collapse tray) it doesent report any error but not links will appear in the tray.
Portal version : Ep6 SP9
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Varma.
Message was edited by: Rajendra Varma

Hi Rajendra,Stephan
Please check the naviagtion properties for the IView.
The radio button agaist the property "Invisible in Navigation area"should be selected to No.
Or just make sure all the navigation properties for IView are correct.
Hope this helps

How to Refresh the portal

Hi All,
i have a requirement to replace the existing role to the user through webdynpro dynamically based on user input.
This i am able to do successfuly but here i am facing the problem. the added role is not displaying until unless clicking on rfresh button in browser.
please let me know there is any way to rfresh the portal in browser through webdynpro java.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhargava Kumar.

I did not expect that you are using portal navigation (navigation between two Ivews) as this information was not clear in your earlier posts.
To achieve this (refreshing the parent ivew) in portal navigation (navigation between two Ivews):
You need to raise an event in the button action of PDFIview as below:
WDPortalEventing.fire ("urn:com.sap.tc.webdynpro.test.portal",
                       "TestEvent",
                       "AParameter");
You need to subscribe the same event in parent ivew:
WDPortalEventing.subscribe ("urn:com.sap.tc.webdynpro.test.portal",
                            "TestEvent",
                            wdThis.wdGetTestEventAction());
in TestEventAction you can write the code to refresh the table in Parent IView

Differentiate Between A New iView link & an Old One - Detailed Navigation

Hi All,
Is it possible to differentiate between a new iView link on the Portal and an old one? Basically, when I add new iViews to a role/page/workset, I would like the link to be highlighted in such a way that the users know it is new.
All suggestions/comments welcome,
Oloy.

Hi Michael,
Generally speaking, the links would be considered new for a 1 month-period. After which, they would return to the "standard" view.
Basically, it is desired that the link to the iView in the detailed navigation will just be highlighted or show up in a different font to indicate its "newness".
Is there definitely no way of doing this?
Regards,
Oloy.

Changing the Look of Detail Navigation area....

Hi all,
I would like to know,about how we can achieve the same look n feel of Detailed Navigation that we see in the SDN page.
To be specific, for the Detail Navigation area we have a bar with arrows at two ends, one, to increase the size(width) of Detialed navigation area and other to collapse the DN Area.
Here in the SDN page we can see just a white arrow to collapse the DN area ( without the two arrow sign to increase/decrease the width of DN area).
I have tried with some of the options from the Them Editor of Portal Display but was unable to get the same.
What customization needs to be done to achieve this feature in our EP.
Appreciate your valuable inputs.
Regards,
NR

Hi
To achieve this in SDN we have created our own desktop, which includes our own iviews for each of the different areas. Therefore we entirely use the functionality of the EFP (Externally Facing Portal) and essentially the portal light framework.
However, you should be able to create a something without going to all of this effort. The bit of HTML that is generated for the expand/collapse icons is done in the com.sap.portal.layouts.framework component in the WAandNavPanel.jsp (for the full portal) and light_WAandNavPanel.jsp for the light portal. You could therefore create your own layout page (based on this standard) and simply remove the HTML.
Once you have then deployed your custom component, you need to create a page template from this, using your new custom_WAandNavPanel. Create a new desktop (or change the standard one), and replace the standard framework page with your customer framework page.
Let me know if you need more information about this and I can try and help as much as possible. There are various other threads that include how to customise the desktop, etc.
I hope this helps
