Portal Content Objects - Dropdown for "ID Prefix".

Hello experts,
It's been a long time since I took TEP10 Academy, but I still remember when doing the exercises at SAP's Trainning Facilities that the ID Prefixes of all PCD Objects were not in an input field as the standard SAP Portal delivery does. Instead it was a drop down list that showed predefined values -com.sap-, so instead of writing the ID Prefix each time, you just select it from the list.
I'm currently doing lots of portal content in my current project and I remebered that functionality that would be particularly useful by now, I want to minimize typos when creating all PCD objects, so here I am asking if anyone know how to accomplish that.
By that I mean:
-Define / set up several ID Prefixes for PCD Objects.
-Assign those ID Prefixes via a drop down list (combobox).
Or whateaver means via configuration (no developments) to accomplish the previously described objectives.
Thanks in advance.

Return Standard Permissions to Portal Content Objects

Hello experts,
I was changing the Permissions of some portal content objects and accidentally I've modified the permissions of all the Portal Content Objects (including the standard objects). I clicked the "Reset child permissions" button of the Permission Editor of the "Portal Content" folder. Do you know any way to return the standard permissions?
Best regards and thanks in advance

Hi,
If you have another portal then you can transport permissions from the first to the seccond portal.

Export list of portal content to excel for comparison

Hi.
I have the problem that I have to support a SAP Portal where Dev, Qas and Prod systens are not consistent. Many objects do not exists in Dev or are renamed. So I like to compare the portal content hierarchy of these systems e.g. with help of excel. But I do not know a way to export the portal content hierarchy or a list of objects used. Any ideas about this?
Regards,
Nils

Nils, Im famliar with the point of adding numbers to id's of PCD duplicates, thats not the point. If you will transport the whole content, including roles and worksets, you will notice the portal navigation will point you to the "proper" objects, since those are containing links to the correct id's and, assuming your import is consistent. Delete the whole custom PCD content on target first, import your stuff in a clean state from reference, thats it.
Indeed, its not an excuse to keep PCD dirty, apparently you need to work on it nevertheless. And:
To have an automatic sync is not neccessary. It is more or less to get a checklist where to look.
I got your point, but following that logic you also dont need any excel sheets, you can do it manually. I guess what you was thinking about is a tool, what shows you differences or in other words potential problems in the PCD of different EP's. So, there is no such tool. Additionally if you write one on your own, wouldnt it be nice to correct the differences instead of manual PCD explorer or transport actions?
Your requirement is well known for me, people are raising this e.g. they want to point in source of custom WDAs to portal components over the PCD Id, in that case it has to be identically on all systems for clear reasons.

Transport of portal content objects from EP 6 SP 15 to NW 2004s portal

Hello All,
     My question is regarding the transportation of portal content from a EP 6 SP 15 portal to the NW 2004s portal. We had developed a lot of content in the EP 6 portal. We had installed and configured business packages in the SP 15 portal.
    Now, we installed a new NW 2004s portal and we want to transport all the developed content from the SP 15 to the new NW 2004s portal.
    I exported all the developed content to a transport package on the SP 15 portal and the export resulted in the .epa file. I then imported it into the new NW 2004s portal. But the issue now is I am unable to see the system aliases which were created for all the systems. The systems do exist in the new portal but the aliases do not exist.
Is there anything that needs to be done to get the system aliases?
Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sunitha.

Hi Sunitha,
I think while exporting you have to select the option include dependant objects also to get the system alias also.

Tool to access portal content objects offline

Hi All,
One of the portal desktop rules configured on our Production system was giving a problem logging in.The problem stated the desktop does not exists, though it was created new. So we deleted the specific desktop and the corresponding desktop rule and since then we are not even able to login to the portal even with the admin user.
From one of the threads, we found found out that one can access the Portal Display rules directly, using such an url
http://<YOUR_SERVERHOST_NAME>:<YOUR_PORT>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fadministrator!2fsystem_admin!2fsystem_admin_role!2fcom.sap.portal.system_admin_ws!2fcom.sap.portal.themes!2fcom.sap.portal.portalDisplayRules
However using this url we get an exception in red as Acess Denined for the object. See details of the exception in the log files.
How do we Resolve this error, as no one can access this portal and we need to reset the portal desktop rules as this is urgent.
Is there any other way from where we can reset the desktop rules without logging in to the portal, as we are not able to login in from the admin also?
Do we have any command line tool from where we can access the Portal Content offline.
Thanking you well in advance.
Thanks and Regards
Laxman.

Hi Laxman,
In my opinion; in the next releases portal drive cannot be extended to access pcd content because it is using webdav protocole to access KM. Webdav is a common method used to access files/folders remotely. ( http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4709.txt )
However, it will be great if a new tool will be released to access pcd remotely. Working with PCD on content administration menus are really hard.
In your case, if I understand your point properly;
If you want to develop your portal without affecting end user, I suggest you to use a test server or install developer workplace on your laptop/pc. I frequently use locally installed developer workplace. When I am dealing with end-user critical works, first I try on local server and after seeing that it works, I move it to the portal. You can work on your local server without danger of breaking down the production server. If there are problems with local portal, you can reinstall or restore from backup easily.

Portal content in Arabic for limited users

Hello Colleagues
We are about to implement ESS on EP.In our backend system ECC 6.0 data is available in English.
Our client requirement is that for certain users Portal content should be available in Arabic.I have gone through some threads in which we can change the Portal language to Arabic for all with Portal Translation .But my question is whether it is feasible for limited users as rest of users will access Portal in English.
Best Regards

Hi,
Based on the Language set on UME standard things will change in portal. To translate your Custom application language in Portal then follow the below link and translate it manually . So that only users with Arabic language set can see portal in Arabic Language.

Bi content objects collection for transport

Hi Experts,
may i know how can i colloect the technical contnet objects for transport?
basically i already transport a technical content content request to quality, after transporting i got the logs as some of the technical content objects have not been activated in quality, but i thougt i can directly activate the content objects by using the program RSDG_IOBJ_ACTIVATE and remaing programs for cubes,aggregates,data sources and all in quality sytem, but client dont want the mannuall activation in qulaity system, they are askig again i have to transport the active(which are the objects not in active version in quality) version from EST to ESQ and then re-import my main transport.
so now again i have to activate the objects in develpment, may i know if i activate the program RSDG_IOBJ_ACTIVATE in se38 and transport the request to quality is it ok (here have to create a new request for this?) here in asingle request can i activate all objects which are not activated (i have to go for activation to info objects, cubes, data sources, update rules,transfer structures) is there any sequence steps to collect this object, please provide me
Many Many thanks
Mrudula

Hi,
Activate all the necessary objects and collect them in a single request and check for any inconsistencies or inactive objects in the requests before transporting it to the QA or PRD in SE03.

Portal Content - Business Packages for CRM 7.0 and IC Webclient

Hi all

We are looking at CRM 7.0 and SAP Netweaver Portal 7.0 integration. 
I've noticed that the Business Package (BP) for CRM 7.0 contains very limited business roles for: 
Channel ManagerChannel Manager 
Partner Manager 
Channel Manager (Telecommunications) 
Partner Manager (Telecommunications) 
Customer 
Digital Asset Management 
Incentives and Commissions 
only.

In the past, there the BP for CRM 5.0 contains a lot more roles including customer service representatives and managers. Given that the standard business role export (from CRM 7.0) and import (EP 7.0) does not work for IC Web client business roles, is there a standard way for functionality delivered in IC Webclient like Customer Service to be integrated into EP 7.0?

Otherwise, if we were to configure each BSP page individually for IC Webclient, will there be functions that do not work? eg: alerts, manager realtime view of CSR activities, call tracking, telephony integration etc..

Thanks!

There are two approaches (that I'm aware of):
- install external authentication (such as an LDAP which can be populated from the R/3 backends)
- install an additional Java instance
I would go for both of them because
- it will make things easier if you implement other functionality that is in the portal (non-ESS)
- it will avoid patching one portal and to keep the SPs of both backend systems in sync with the portal

Portal content for Nakisa 3.0 SP2

Hi
We are in the process of integrating Portal 7.3 with Nakisa which has been installed on CE7.2
We make them as "Trusted" systems against each other and now looking for Portal content (epa file) for importing into portal 7.3 for creating system & iviews using Nakisa templates.
Could you pelase suggest from where i can download epa file ?
Thanks

So, do you mean you want to use Portal Logon tickets for SSO?
Then you need to configure this.
There is a Wiki: [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/SAPSSOAuthenticationwithverify.pseusingSAPSSOEXT] )
But I think the SP2 Admin Guide is the clearest; follow the steps on pages 29-31 of the Admin Guide (u201COrgChart_VSN30_SP2_Admin_En.pdfu201D).
Regarding the Wiki, on 3.0 systems step 5b should be unnecessary. But you will also need to set/check that you have configured the application correctly in the Admin Console section:
Admin Console -> Security Settings -> Authentication Settings
Choose u201CSingle Sign On with Logon Ticketsu201D
Click Next until u201CAuthentication Sourceu201D u2013 enter SAP application server, system number and client.
Click Finish, click Submit. Save and publish.

Best way to index portal content

Hi all,
I am searching for a nice way to index the content of the portal.
Using the standard functionality (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/46/9d1405fa743ef0e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm) does not lead to sufficient results, since all roles which are located in PCD are indexed and are found by the enduser.
This could lead to the situation that the enduser might open a page which leads to an error or a blank page.
The other possibility is to use the PCD roles search (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/b2/d59a4271c80a31e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm). This only offers results of roles which are assigned to the user.
However, content of iViews (e.g. URL iViews) are not indexed and so the user can only search for the ID / description of the page (which is okay, but content search is also important).
Is there no other possibility to search for portal content?
Thanks for any hints...
Best Regards
Philipp Kölsch

Hi,
it seems that the current ways of indexing portal content are not really sufficient... I hope that there are better solutions in the future...

What is Portal Content Development? What componets it consists

Hi All,
I am very new to SAP. Now am getting training in SAP Portal. I want to know What is Portal Content Development? What componets it consists? Can you please help me.
Thanks,
jyothi.

Hi Jothi,
All the content relevant to maintaining the portal is organized and Developed in Portal content Development.The Portal Content Object Model consist of content objects such as these:
                                      u2022 iViews
                                      u2022 Pages
                                      u2022 Worksets
                                      u2022 Roles
                                      u2022 Layouts
One of the main components of the portal architecture is the Portal Content Directory in which all the content required to maintain the portal is stored and maintained. The Portal Content Directory is the central place to
                    u2022 create various content objects
                    u2022 administer them by assigning permissions and changing their properties
