Portal dynamic navigation width

Hi,
We have a fixed size for the dynamic navigation column in the portal page. When the text within this page is longer then the length of this column, a scrollbar is presented.
Is there a way to wrap menu items within the navigation column?
Thanks,
Johnny

Hi Johnny,
with Patch 5 (or maybe already Patch 4) [if you are using EP 6.0 SP2] it is possible.
Go to your Default Framework Page -> Desktop Innerpage -> Detailed Navigation and activate "Enable Text Wrapping in Detailed Navigation"
Hope this helps,
Holger.

Portal Runtime Error in Dynamic Navigation Area

Hello gurus,
In our production portal all of sudden we are getting a portal runtime error in Dynamic Navigation Area. Earlier there was a problem with one of the clustered nodes and it was resolved. I was wondering if this error is in connection with that. Has anybody faced such problem? Following is the error we are facing in the dynamic navigation area.
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : pcd:portal_content/fenderfolder/defaultDesktop/frameworkPages/frameworkpage/com.sap.portal.innerpage/com.sap.portal.dynamicNavigationArea
Component Name : com.sap.portal.navigation.dynnavarea.DynamicNavigationArea
Please advice on how to resolve the issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hello all again,
We are not getting this Dynamic Navigation Error on ONE of the clustered nodes and all other clustered nodes are working fine.
Any idea how to resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance.

Open portal page via HTML URL out of the "Dynamic Navigation"

Hi everybody,
In our portal environment we have a page (page1) in which user can enter date. On another page (page2) in a different navigation node there is a report that shows the data. We want to provide a possibility to navigate directly from page1 to page2.
Our idea was to have a KM-document iView in the "dynamic navigation" of page1 with a link to page2.
that works fine. but page2 is not opened in the whole window but in the dynamic-navigation-frame.
the link looks the following:
<A HREF="http://xxxxxxxx.xxx:1235/irj/portal/index.htm?navigationtarget=roles://portal_content/folder/role/workset/page/">
Its obvious that the link is opened in the same frame because no target property is added to the href.
I thought about adding a the "target" property to the href, but I don't know how the Frame is named.
I have tried this:
<A HREF="http://xxxxxxxx.xxx:1235/irj/portal/index.htm?navigationtarget=roles://portal_content/folder/role/workset/page/" target="MainFrame">
but it didn't work.
Does anybody know how the MainFrame in the portal is named or has any other solution to my problem.
Regards, Alex

kind of simple
user target="_top" to have the page displayed in the whole window.

Oracle Portal Dynamic Pages?

I grabbed this from the Primer on Portlets "By simply cutting and pasting the HTML provided by affiliates into Oracle Portal dynamic pages, you can create a portlet specifically for that affiliate program and embed it into your portal."
How is this Oracle Portal Dynamic Page created?

The dynamic page is a portal application component. You can create one within any portal application that you have been granted edit privileges (for a sample, go to the Navigator, click on the Applications tab and open EXAMPLE APP). For additional information, check out the on-line help (search for dynamic) or glance at the components section of the product features whitepaper: http://technet.oracle.com/products/iportal/pdf/portal_twp.pdf

Dynamic navigation structure

Hi all,
I want to implement a dynamic navigation structure that displays navigation nodes depending on the status of the user in the backend system.
The scenario is as follows:
- user gets access rights via roles and profiles in backend system
- each user is assigned to a business partner in the backend system
- each business partner is in a specified phase (the phase of a business partner can change over time)
- a table in the backend system contains the mapping: phase - visible navigation structure
-> in the portal the user should see only these navigation nodes, that are set to visible in the mapping table, all other navigation nodes are hidden
Is it possible to implement such a behaviour?
I'm running EP 6.0 and CRM 5.0 as backend system.
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Martina

Hi Martina,
Filtering out roles and worksets can be done by implementing a role filter, for details see https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/ep/code-samples/filtering%20role%20and%20workset%20content.htm and https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5021a57d-0601-0010-6097-ec94a09c626d for example.
> in the portal the user should see only these navigation nodes,
> that are set to visible in the mapping table, all other navigation nodes are hidden
Of course, these nodes must be a subset of the navigation nodes the user has per role assignment.
Hope it helps

dynamic navigation
Posted: Aug 29, 2005 3:03 PM Reply E-mail this post
Hi
I have an iview from BW that generates links to reports. I associated this iview to a page as a dynamic navigation link.
When I click on the link, it does not load the content in the portal content area. I tried _self, _top, _parent as the targets in the BW web template.
How can I get the content loaded in the portal content area? What is the name of the portal content area frame?
Thanks
Sriram

Hi Sriram,
 I confronted with the same issue as yours but then i did the following.......
Presuming that two iviews are already created i.e.
 1.Navigation Panel iview with links (left)
 2.different iviews associated to the links.
Now,
 >>Open the other iviews and select Dynamic navigation in the context menu.
 >>Right click on the navigation panel iview having the links and select "Add to Dynamic Navigation"
In the first iview for the link the code i gave is
<a href="link2" class="urLnk" onclick="return EPCM.doNavigate('ROLES://portal_content/xyz/Pages/sampleiview')">Link to Project Plan</a>
No need of the parent,self,.....etc.
Hope this helps.

GenericCreator: How to add iview as Dynamic Navigation

Hi All,
Had anyone used the "Uploading Content and Actions" into the portal via XML file process to add an iview into a page into the Dynamic Navigation portion which will cause the iview to load up on the left panel of the page.
I am able to do this via the Portal manually, but would like to know how this can be achieve using the .xml and the GenericCreator.

Hi Mary,
What I meant by being able to do this manually in the portal, is the process of going into Content Administrator > Portal Content finding the page that I would like to add the iview into. Selecting the page, executing a Right-Click > Edit-Dynamic Navigation. Then finding the iview, Right-Click > Add to Dynamic Navigation.
This will add the iview into the Dynamic Navigation portion of the selected page.

Dynamic navigation, on HCM Process and Forms "Web Dynpro FORM"

Hi,
I'm trying to solve an issue regarding dynamic navigation, on a enhacement done at the Web Dynpro ABAP QISR_UI component for HCM Process and Forms.
I'm hiding the Adobe Form, and doing "do_dynamic_navigation" for a dynamic generated view container present at the VIEWSHOWFORM on the QISR_UI component.
The code works great, i.e.: the Adobe Form remains hidden and the custom form, using Web Dynpro appears.
I'm also using the HRASR00_PROCESS_EXECUTE_1 component to execute a Portal IView (Floorplan based component).
When the process is started, and the folowing actions are executed:
1- Select Employee
2- Select Process
3- Edit form
4- Press back (for example if the wrong process is selected)
5- Select the Process
6- Edit form again
There is a NULL exception, the "embedding_vca" (below) is NULL
SAPLWDR_RUNTIME_REPOSITORY
METHOD: IF_WD_RR_VIEW_USAGE~GET_EMB_VIEW_CNT_ASSIGNMENT (LCL_VIEW_USA
* method IF_WD_RR_VIEW_USAGE~GET_EMB_VIEW_CNT_ASSIGNMENT
method if_wd_rr_view_usage~get_emb_view_cnt_assignment.
result = me->view_usage->embedding_vca->get_api( ).
endmethod.
"IF_WD_RR_VIEW_USAGE~GET_VIEW_CONTAINER_ASSIGNMENT
Can you guys give me an hand?
Regards

Hello,
Basically what I did was replacing the Adobe Form, by a Web Dynpro component that contains its own form, and associated logic.
Tecnically the steps to acomplish the task were:
1º Development of a component for showing a form. ( I suggest you to start with just a "hello world" or something very basic )
2º Enhance the QISR_UI component (VIEWSHOWFORM view, on the modify view method), something like
if form scenario = XXXXX then
hide the adobe form;
create a custom view container (the problem I had above), and create an instance of the component created on step 1
end if
3º Access the context that the original form returns (you can check the context debugging the VIEWSHORFORM view )
4º Pass the context to the component created..
I can't provide further details on this, I'm sorry...
I do not suggest doing this, this was a requirement so I had to do it... But this requires a lot of workarrounds, and lots of small changes in standard code related with process and forms... It's not, also, a "clean" solution

Joã

Dynamic Navigation and Teamviewer

We programed our own iviews in WebDynpro for using in manager selfservice.
For changing between different employees, we assigned the standard SAP teamviewer as a dynamic navigation to the pages which include our WebDynpro iviews.
This proceeding works well. For each iview we can change the employee we like to work on. But if we go to another WebDynpro application in the navigation path, the teamviewer is open in a new way. So the teamviewer lose the indicated employee by stepping from the first to the next application.
But by using the standard manager role, the teamviewer hold the selected employee.
How can I get this effect? Where can I find same information about this problem?

Hi,
Maybe it has to do with the isolation of the iView. By default (i guess) it is configured to be "embedded" on page, this will result in refreshing. Set the iViews to "URL" (and also set the highttype to "automatic").
Otherwise it has to do with the navigation. Are u using the Light Portal Framework?
If so it could be the case that the navigation is triggering a complete page refresh instead of only refreshing the content area..

Benjamin

Creating page Navigation without using Dynamic Navigation

Hi,
I have a requirement that i need to create few pages where each page will have navigation tabs at the left side and corresponding iviews at the right. Navigation will not be dynamic but static in nature that means target for the navigation link will not be decided dynamically but will be static. Each tab on the navigation will be linked to a page which will be opened in the same content area. Since there is no dynamic navigation so that's why there is no application present to be used for creating dynamic navigation iview. Please suggest what else can be option to create this sort of page.
Best Regards,
Vikash

Hi,
If you want your tab on the left instead of the top you need to change the defaultframeworkpage. If some users need to have the navigation on top and some on the left you need to make a custom layout for these users so that only these users have your modified frameworkpage.
Of course you can not mix tabs on the left and tabs on top. If you want something like that then you`ll need to make a custom html page with tabs on the left pointing to standard portal locations.
Hope this helps.

Dynamic Navigation opens in new window

I currently have an KM Navigation iView assigned to Dynamic Navigation of a page. Clicking on internal links in the Navigation iView opens in a new window. Is there any way to configure the KM Navigation iView (assigned to Dynamic Navigation) to display in the Portal content area instead of opening in a separate window?

If you're using Safari, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, click on Tabs, and change the setting.

Dynamically build URLS for dynamic navigation

hello all, I am trying to develop dynamic navigation for pl/sql portlets in oracle portal 10g. When admins place the portlets i develop on pages or tabs, etc, i would like to be able to query the database for there location(what page or tab its assigned to) dynamically so i can build links that would allow linking from portlet to portlet no matter where the admin placed them in the Portal. So my question is, what table or tables list the page_id or tab_id for portlets when they are added to a region on page or tab???

The Content Area Views describe the information that you can access from PL/SQL.

IView errors in Dynamic Navigation area of Page

Hi,
I am developing a Java DynPage iView on EP6.0 SP10 (NW04). The iView functions similarly to the SAP MSS Team Viewer, except that it calls an R/3 Search Help to get a list of employees to display. The iview uses the EPCF framework to generate client side events that are picked up by other iviews on the same page.
Now, the symptoms of my problem: I created a portal page and added the iview to the dynamic navigation area of the page. I have two other iviews that react to the event that is raised by my iview. They are in the general content area of the page. The page is added to my test role as normal. I test the functionality by logging into the portal and accessing the page via the normal portal navigation. Everything works fine, until I leave my session idle for around five (5) minutes. At that point, if I do anything in the iview, I get a runtime error:
"An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : N/A
Component Name : N/A
iView not found"
If I refresh the page, everything's ok again. This only happens when the iview is in the dynamic navigation area of the page. If it is added to the general content area of the page, the problem does not occur.
It looks like some kind of timeout value, but I'm not sure where to start looking. My HTTP session is still alive at this point, as is my SSO cookie. And, as I said before, I don't get the error if the iview is not in the dynamic navigation area of the page.
Can anyone give me advice on what to do to fix this problem?
Thanks and regards
Morne Muller

Hi Frank,
Unfortunately I did not get an answer. I am currently busy with other things so this problem is not receiving a lot of attention right now. If I do get an answer, I will post it here. If you are able to fix it on your side, I would appreciate it if you could let me know too.

Dynamic Navigation iView

Hi experts ,
I had uploaded a CRM role into portal from CRD , when i assign this role to myself i see a dynamic navigation component coming in the detail navigation . Because this is dynamic in nature , i guess that is why i am not able to see this in pcd . This component consists of a few CRM related links , can anybody tell me how to modify this dyamanic navigation part like theme , changing labels , expanding/collapsing try icons etc .??

Hey Mayank,
Under the CRM role, you would be looking at either a page or an iView to which the dynamic navigation is attached. Locate the Page/iView in the PCD and open its properties editor. Select the 'Dynamic Navigation' under Display(properties). Here you would find the pcd object which you get to see under dynamic navigation. Locate this object in the pcd and you can edit its properties like tray settings to reflect in the dynamic navigation under your CRM role. The theme would be the same as other equivalent portal objects and can be changed in the theme editor.
Hope it helps.

Prath

Dynamic Navigation ivews

In sap help-online doc, it says that "Dynamic navigation iViews typically contain user interface controls, such as dropdown lists and links, which retrieve data related to the content displayed in the content area. Each time a user clicks or chooses a control in a dynamic navigation iView, the data currently displayed in the portal content area changes accordingly".
I assigned a iview as dynamic navigation iView to the other iView in my portal for test .I can see the dynamic navigation iview in navigation panel under detailed navigation area,when I navigated to the iview it was assigned to. But when I click the link on the navigation iview ,its content was displayed in its area and not in portal content area .How to archieve what sap help-online said? Please help me!
Tks!

Hi Shi zi,
This is what you would be seeing in the Dynamic Navigation Editor
Add iViews or pages to "Dyn Nav Iview" as context-specific navigation objects.
Objects selected in this editor appear in the dynamic navigation area at runtime when the object currently being edited is displayed .
