Portal Best Practices

Hi folks,
I've seen this link to SAP Portal Best Practices: [http://help.sap.com/bp_epv260/ep_en/index.htm|http://help.sap.com/bp_epv260/ep_en/index.htm]
here in SDN but it isn't working (The page cannot be found - HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.
). Has this content been moved to another place?
I found this one http://help.sap.com/bp_epv170/EP_US/HTML/Portals_intro.htm . Is it an older version?
What is the latest version of SAP Portals Best Practices? Where can I find all the scenarios available?
Thanks in advance,

EFP and Intranet Portal - Best Practices for architecture

Hi All,
   We are planning to create a portal for our partners (b2b scenario). This portal will provide anonymous and user specific access. We also have a intranet portal with ESS and MSS. I have some doubts around implementing EFP and Intranet portal.
   1) What is the best practice solution architecture around portal instances? Is it suggested to implement both intranet and internal portals on same portal instance? Do you implement them as 2 seperate instances (and 2 seperate boxes) one for intranet and another for internet?
   2) There are couple of functions shared between inranet and internet portals. Has any one attempted   a FPN connection between a internet portal and intranet portal?
   3) What is the best practices around an external portal connecting to ECC directly?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi Pallayya,
         We are implementing a similar kind of thing for our client.I can explain that so you find some glimpse out of it.
We have decided twp ways.
1) We are having one instance of the portal that will be accessed both in Intranet & Internet.We are using two different URL for intranet & internet.We have a reverse proxy in the picture also,coz it will increase the security of the portal in the Internet.The reverse proxy will be available in the DMZ Zone.We have integrated ECC & BW with the portal and some web dynpro application(For intranet only).
Now the user comes from the Internet will hit the reverse proxy first->then it will go to EP Server->in EP it will be decided which kind of request client is asking ->
If it is a ECC request->Portal Server sends back the request to Reverse Proxy->RP will send it to web dispatcher->Then it will go to ECC.
If it is a BW request ->Portal server sends the request to BW Server.
2) There will be two different URLS for the portal in Intranet & Internet
     For that we used two reverse proxy

Portals best practices - looking for Info

Looking to learn on what I should and should not try to do with portals. What
sort of UI designs are encourages and what's discouraged.
Does anyone have any helpful links or book resources to recommend? Thanks.

Thanks, Sameer. I am a little past that point. I have already looked at much
of the documentation on BEA site and even threw together a few prototype portals.
Now I'm looking for portal UI guidance and recommendation. Something along the
lines of use frames or don't use frames, which attributes of a web application
make it particularly suitable or not suitable for a portlet, etc. Thanks again.

Best practice for management of Portal personalisation

Hi
I've been working in our sandpit client figuring out all portal personalisation and backend/frontend customisation for ESS (with some great help from SDN). However I'm not clear on what best practice is when doing this for 'real'.
I've read in places that objects to be personalised should be copied first. Elsewhere I've read about the creating of a new portal desktop for changes to the default framework page etc
What I'm not clear on is the strategy for how you manage and control all the personalisation changes. For example, if you copy an iview and personalise where do you copy it to? Do you create "Z" versions of all the folders of the standard content or something else?
Do you copy everything at the lowest possible object level and copy or highest?
Implications of applying support or enhancement packs?
We're going pretty vanilla to begin with in that there will just be a single ESS role so things should be fairly simple from that point of view, but I've trawled all around SDN without being able to find clear guidance on the overall best pratice process for personalisation.
Can anyone help?
Regards
Phil

Hi Phil,
To keep things organized I would create an new folder (so don't use the desktop one). The new folder should sit under Portal Content. In that folder create a folder for ESS, then inside that one for iViews (e.g. COMPANY_XYZ >>> ESS >>> iViews) then copy via delta link the iViews you want from the standard SAP folders.
Then you will have to create another folder for your own roles (e.g. ESS >>> Roles). Inside this folder create a new role and add your iViews (again via delta link). Or you could just copy one of the standard SAP roles into this folder and not bother with copying the iViews. What you do depends on how many changes you intend to make, sometimes if the changes are only small it is easier to copy the entire SAP role (via delta link) and make your changes.
You should end up with something link this in your PCD:
Portal Content
     COMPANY_XYZ
          ESS
               iViews
                    iView1
                    iView2 etc..
               Roles
                    Role1
                    Role2 etc...
Then don't forget to assign your new roles to your users or groups.
Hope that makes sense.
BRgds,
Simon

Best Practice for Portal Patches and effort estimation

Hi ,
One of our client is applying the following patches
1. ECC 6.0 SP15(currently SP14)
2. ESS MSS SP15(currently SP14 with some level of functional customization )
3. EP 7 SP18(currently SP14)
We would like to kwow the best practice for applying portal patches and the effort estimation for redoing the portal devt on the new patch.
o   What is the overall level of effort with applying Portal patches?
o   How are all the changes to SAP objects handle? Do they have to be
     manually re-entered?
o What is the impact of having a single NWDI instance across the
    Portal Landscape during the Patch process?
Regards,
Revathi Raju.

Hi Revathi,
o What is the overall level of effort with applying Portal patches?
overall effort to apply the patch is apprx 1/2-1 days for NW7 system. This is exclude the patch files download because it's based on your download speed.
o How are all the changes to SAP objects handle? Do they have to be
manually re-entered?
Depending on your customization. Normally it wont effect if you created the customzation application apart from SAP standard application
o What is the impact of having a single NWDI instance across the
Portal Landscape during the Patch process?
Any change that related to NWDI, you might be need to re-deployed from NWDI itself.
Thanks

LDAP configuration for HR Portal in dual stack EHP4 - Best Practice

Hi Experts,
Hello Experts,
We are trying to use the JAVA Stack of ECC server for HR Portal i.e Dual Stack and have applied EHP4 package for ESS/MSS Appraisal. When we are trying to configure the LDAP ADS datasource through portal , we are not able to do it since ABAP datasorce file is available by default.This we are doing for HR(ESS/MSS) Portal.This is for access to the object data stored in the Active Directory.
We have already checked note 718383.
Also, for the scenatrio ,LDAP <-> ABAP <-> J2EE
We have already checked sap help doc.here:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/e6/0bfa3823e5d841e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
What should now be the best practice to follow for configuration ? Should we go for separate Portal server or is it possible to use Java Stack of ECC server for configuration ?
Also, LDAP <-> ABAP <-> J2EE scenario please suggest if it a best practice and we can follow the same .What are the limitations , risks and issues ? Please suggest if this has been implemented and running well in any live project .
Are the suggestions applicable for load balanced production servers as well?
Thanks,
Rakesh

Hi,
the UME datasource must remain ABAP but you can sync the users between ABAP and LDAP using the LDAP connector:

Best practice for weblogic portal

While creating a portal application , what is the best approach, use jsp or jsr-168 portlets and minimum proprietary tags from weblogic or should use all those custom controls and stuff from weblogic

Hi,
There is no such best practices given by the Bea Systems.But if you are creating a weblogic portal application and you want to have portlet rendered on the portal,the pageFlow portlet is the best way to render your web application on the portal.There are advantanges of the pageFlow:
(1)Easy in development of web application
(2)Graphical view of your navigation
(3)J2EE Resources can be accessed easily with use of controls.
(4)Can use Behive Netui tags which is having lots of tags which can be used without writing complex logic.
(5)Complex j2ee logic can be written in the form of Annotation which can help the developer to write complex j2ee coding
Thx

Best Practice Question: Portal Sync Rules

Hi,
Is there any benefit in combining Inbound and Outbound Flows in a single Sync Rule?
Or does it not matter if Inbound flows have their own Sync Rule and Outbound flows have their own Sync Rules?
Does either option generate more/less EREs/DREs?
Is either option better for performance reasons?
look forward to your comments, thank you
sk

1:
Only the OSR's create EREs, so if you have 4 outbound 3 inbound (assuming a user gets all 4 outbound SR's) the user should have 4 EREs. If the rules were combined into 3 outbound/inbound and 1 outbound, the user still gets 4 EREs.
2:
If my source was AD, I would create a new MV attribute called inAD. Then import a constant "true" from the target, AD for example. Then from my source, HR for example, ill flow in a constant "false". Lastly update the MV attribute precedence for the
inAD attribute to be AD then HR. From there i'd create a custom attribute in the portal so I can use the flag for set criteria.
This might be a long winded way of getting it done, but say you have 10k users in AD and used DRE's. It means 10k more objects in the MV and in the portal.
Disclaimer: Not saying this is best practice, it's just what I do :)

Portal System Transport (Best Practice)

Hello,
We have DEV, QA and PRD landscape. We have created systems that connect to backend ECC systems. Since the DEV and QA ECC system has one application server, we have created a portal system of type singe application server in the DEV Portal that points to DEV ECC system. Subsequently we have transported this portal system to QA portal and make it point to QA ECC.
Now the Prd ECC systems is of type load balancing with multiple servers. The portal system that connects to Prd ECC system should also be of type Load Balancing. Now we cannot transport the QA portal system that connects to QA ECC system to prd since its of type Single Application Server.
What will be the best strategy to create the portal system in prd portal that points to PRD ECC.
1. Create the portal system freshly in Prd system of type Load Ballancing. Does it adhere to the best practise approach that suggest Not to Create anyting in prd system directly.
OR
2, Is there any other way that should I follow to make sure that Best Practices for Portal Dvelepment is followed.
Regards
Deb

I don't find it useful to transport system objects so I make them manually.

Portal db provider(best practice)

Best practice question here. If I wanted to create a few db portlets(suggestions/questions) is there already an existing portal db provider/schema that I should add them to? Or is it best to simply create a schema and db provider?

That is an interesting question, we created our own schemas for each of the portal sites we have, so basically custom made providers for all portlets used in those portals.

Portal backup best practice!!

Hi ,
Can anyone let me know where can i get Portal Backup Best Practices!! We are using SAP EP7.
Thanks,
Raghavendra Pothula

Hi Tim: Here's my basic approach for this -- I create either a portal dynamic page or a stored procedure that renders an HTML parameter form. You can connect to the database and render what ever sort of drop downs, check boxes, etc you desire. To tie everything together, just make sure when you create the form, the names of the fields match that of the page parameters created on the page. This way, when the form posts to the same page, it appends the values for the page parameters to the URL.
By coding the entire form yourself, you avoid the inherent limitations of the simple parameter form. You can also use advanced JavaScript to dynamically update the drop downs based on the values selected or can cause the form to be submitted and update the other drop downs from the database if desired.
Unfortunately, it is beyond the scope of this forum to give you full technical details, but that is the approach I have used on a number of portal sites. Hope it helps!
