Portal Framework

Hello all,
the standard Portal Framework scrollbars do not include the entire page, but deals with the frames (innerpage and navigation) separately. Now i would like to get a framework page done similar to the current SDN one, where you have just one main vertical scrollbar.
I have figured if you change the isolationmode of various pages (e.g. innerpage) from url to embedded, you get rid of the iframe and the page gets embedded into the entire page. This results in one main vertical scroolbar which does inlcude the TLN and Mastead. So far so good, but unfortunatelly the TLN then starts to show some weired behaviour. It jumps around, just when the page is loaded it jumps back to the correct position. Pretty strange.
So obviously this isnt the right approach to get done what i have in mind.
Has anyone else tried this or something similar before and has some valueable hints?
regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,
I can give you a hint.
There is a par file called com.sap.portal.layouts.framework.par
This is the par file with which the Default/Light frameworks are created.
You will find in here the entire HTML in the form of Layout/Framework/Navigation tag libraries whose help you can easily get on help.sap.com
You can modify this to suit your needs.
Then upload this par file (after re naming it only !!).
Make a new Layout from PAR in the Content Administrator role.
You can then procees by assigning this layout to your page.
I've not tried this but I guess it will work.

How to change the start up page in Portal Framework..

Hii guys...
I have created a webcenter portal framework application, with two new pages - a myLogin page and a Document page(which will display content from webcenter content).
The pages are working fine.
I simply want to display the myLogin page when i run the application as startup page.
For this i have made changes into the index.html fine by changing the url to the "webcenter/portalapp/pages/myLogin"
When i run the application for the first time its working fine..
But when i am running it for the second time the page is automatically redirecting to some login.jsp and keep getting refresh.
I also tried running myLogin page directly by making changes in the welcome file option in web.xml.
I have deleted index.html from welcome file list and instead added the myLogin page.
But when i run the application it automatically load the index.html and the same problem continues.
Do anyone knows where i am making mistake or what changes should i make to simply display the myLogin page when i run the application..!!
Thanks..

Default pagination functionality(Jdev 11.1.1.7.0) is incomplete with in webcenter portal framework application.

Hi,
Am using default pagination with in the table for portlet application using Jdev(11.1.1.7.0),when I run portlet application it is working properly.
When I run the same portlet application with in webcenter portal framework application, I could not find page number navigation and count of total number of records.
Thanks,

8.1 equivalent of portlet:form event=bea.portal.framework.internal.refresh

I've got a portlet with an edit JSP that allows the user to set some portlet settings. The edit JSP uses a form defined with the tag <portlet:form event="bea.portal.framework.internal.refresh" >. This in essence allowed the edit JSP to submit the form to itself, so it could then process (store) the settings.
This tag is no longer supported in 8.1. I haven't been able to find what the equivalent is. Am I going to be able to do the same thing, or am I going to have to rewrite the Edit piece as a page flow?

I've already tried that and it's not working in my current portal.
The other things I've tried are <render:postBackUrl/> and <render:windowUrl> for the form action, and they weren't working, either. But since then I've discovered that in a new vanilla portal installation, the <render:postBackUrl/> action works fine (I assume the controller would, too, but I didn't try it).
It seems I now have a different problem to work through to figure out why <render:postBackUrl/> works in a new installation, but not in my current one. The same goes for the controller.

Dont want then NavigationTarget to open an entirely new portal framework

Hi All,
when i tried with Navigationtarget from webdynpro Linktourl element(target=_main) to open the page which has webdynpro iview opening the page but its coming with whole new portal framework which i dont want . how to avoid that.I just want the page to display in the content area without the whole portal framework with tabs and
String URL1="/irj/index.html?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/org.test.dev.folder.test_development/test/Worksets/CustomApplications/ManagersFMLAApproval";
wdContext.currentContextElement().setUrl1(URL1);
Thanks,
pkv

Hi Pkv,
    If you want to open the new window without the portal framework page then instead of using a LinktoURL UI Element you use a LinktoAction UI element and in the action handler of the LinktoAction you can use the navigateAbsolute portal API. [http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/navigation/api/WDPortalNavigation.html]
The code should look like this.
WDPortalNavigation.
navigateAbsolute("ROLES://portal_content/org.test.dev.folder.test_development/test/Worksets/CustomApplications/ManagersFMLAApproval",
                 WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_EXTERNAL,
                 WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_HISTORY,
                 null);

Thanks
Swetha

Hi,
   This error occurred in the page where I used the file upload control. The control was working fine before. We tried installing entire PDK again and then applying the hotfix-1, but nothing worked and then I had to use an URL iview to invoke an ASP .Net application just for uploading the files.
Thanks

Calling portal framework page from non portal page

Hi,
We are having some difficulty in passing control from the non portal pages to
the Portal Pages.
To explain you more elaborately, I am writing down the scenario:
Both our portal and non portal pages reside under the same web application folder.
We have a Portal Page containing one portlet.Clicking on one of the hyperlink
on this portlet page takes us out of the portal environment where we are doing
some processing.
(Why we are going out of the portal environment is because we want to call the
existing pages as it is and our intention is not to make the existing pages portal
enabled to start with).
Somewhere down the journey on the non portal page, there is a requirement to call
the Portal Framework page.
We can call the portal Framework page from the non portal page by hard coding
the URL of the Portal page by writing something like this in href:
http://localhost:7501/application?origin=content.jsp&event=bea.portal.framework.internal.portlet.event&pageid=home&portletid=bachome_carsearchlink&wfevent=link.next
But this is not what we want. We want to call the portal page without hard coding
the URL.
If we use portlet tag in non portal page to call the Portal Framework page ( <a
href="<portlet:createWebflowURL event="link.next"/>">Next Page</a>), it throws
us error "Could not find current Portlet State" which is quite understandable,
because portlet state is now lost.
Is there any way we can achieve this .
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks
Ajay

Hi
i think you should use portal:createPortalPageChangeURL (you are effectively changing
your portal page) .
if you want to invoke a specific event in your portlet webflow you can either
write a RefreshControllerIP or use WebflowJSPHelper.createWebflowURL.
bear in mind if you have urls that directly go to an intermediate event in the
portlets webflow you may need

Portal framework when using bookmarks

Hi
When we use bookmarks to run reports, the portal framework does not show (the portal menu). It is only the BI template that is shown just like when you run a template from WAD. Is it possible to direct the user to the report with the portal framework around the WAD template when using bookmarks?
Erik

Hi,
I do not want to create confusion but PFCG would not be helpful. If users want to run the report for different variables and different drilldowns. It would not be possible to keep record of their each bookmark and adding it to the Role.
Ravi: I did understand what your solution but How to do it is not clear to me.
they can save the bookmark of report in portal
Could you please elaborate on this one if you know how to do it. Per my understanding the Bookmark is saved in terms of Web template id.

Forcing attachments to download from content outside portal framework

We are having an issue with binary content which resides outside portal framework in a separate system being downloaded by users. Whenever a page flow action is submitted and the binary data(xls, pdf, doc files etc) is returned by the system(documentum in this case) and we try to get the download option it shows data as garbage on the jsp but does not prompt to download the file. Here is the code for 2 options tried
Option 1 - Trying to write binary content from Page Flow
Code in Page Flow
byte[] binaryData = document.getBinaryDocument(); //'document' is the data object here
HttpServletResponse response = getResponse();
response.setContentType("application/ms-excel");
response.setContentLength(binaryData.length);
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + document.getFileName() + ".xls\""); //document does not return file extension
response.getOutputStream().write(binaryData);Option 2 - Trying to write binary content from Servlet Context outside portal framework
Code in Page Flow
getRequest().setAttribute("binarydoc", document); Code in JSP
com.jeni.DocumentumData doc = (com.jeni.DocumentumData)request.getAttribute("binarydoc");
byte[] binaryData = doc.getBinaryDocument();
response.setContentType("application/ms-excel");
response.setContentLength(binaryData.length);
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + doc.getFileName() + ".xls\""); //document does not return file extension
response.getOutputStream().write(binaryData);
response.getOutputStream().flush();Both options produce garbage on the jsp page.
Please respond soon
Thanks

Yes. It did not work here's the changed code in the JSP page in Option 2 that produced the same result.
com.jeni.DocumentumData doc = (com.jeni.DocumentumData)request.getAttribute("binarydoc");
byte[] binaryData = doc.getBinaryDocument();
response.reset();
response.setContentType("application/ms-excel");
response.setContentLength(binaryData.length);
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + doc.getFileName() + ".xls\""); //document does not return file extension
response.getOutputStream().write(binaryData);
response.getOutputStream().flush();
response.flushBuffer();

Launch Portal iView without Portal Framework

We would have a requirement to send emails from our ERP backend system containing a link to say, release a purchase order. However, because we use single sign-on to the ABAP systems we can't just send a link to the BSP in the ERP system because no one would know their password. So instead I thought I would send a link to an iview in the Portal as everyone knows thier Portal password and we have SSO from the Portal to the backend systems.
My question is: How do I do this and get a window without all the Portal framework around it that could be viewed on a Blackberry? I've tried a URL like "http://portal_server/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content ..." but still get a standard Portal window. Setting options for the iview like "Display in separate window" or "Display in separate, headerless Portal window" doesn't seem to come into play using this approach.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Regards,
Tom Maggs

Hi,
1. Instead of using role navigation url you can use the static url of page or iview...
check this. [https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1374857]
2. If you have to use navigation url then add &NavMode=3 to existing url.
http://portal_server/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content ...&NavMode=3
This will open iview in headerless window

SAP Portal Framework Changes

Hello,
We are on NW EP 7.3 and trying to make the following changes as part of Look and feel/Portal Framework :
1) Change the Text 'Options' which appears as a dropdown on the Top right location of the iview next to 'Full Screen'.
2) Change the Text 'Related Links' which appears on the Detailed Navigation Panel for all the Related iviews below the actual iview.
3) Masthead - Hovering on the 'New Session' and 'Logoff' Links shows a Border/Box around the Links , how can we change that? didn't find anything in the Theme for it.
4) Looking for a way to create a Top Spacing/Padding in the 2nd Level of the Top-Level Navigation right below the 1st level Navigation to move the text in the 2nd Level down.
How can we achieve the above tasks?
Any help would be highly Appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
The screenshot looks like SAP ECC content.You may need to check the corresponding iview type, If it is a WDA iview, Find the application name from iview, Then you may have to change the the WD ABAP application in the backend.
For the theme related UI changes in Ajax framework page,Check this SAP document, If you have not come across this already.

Portal Framework Tutorials

Hi All,
I have good understanding about the BEA Application server as such, but am fairly new to BEA portal and wish to learn BEA Portal framework. Could any please point me to some tutorials on the framework and API.
I did check out the Javadoc for the portal framework in BEA EDOCS site, but I wish if some additional documentation on the <u>framework architecture and its key components</u> would be easy to understand.
Thanks

Hi,
If you are working on Bea weblogic portal 8.x ,the workshop help is very good.You can start with sample application which comes with weblogic workshop.
With portal 9.2 there is no much help but again few samples are given in the workshop help which will be good to start learning.
