Portal Implementation

Hi
1) what is the Abstract Portal Component?
2) what is the IPortalComponenet?
and what is the difference b/w these two
3) what is the difference b/w Dynpage and JSPDynpage
Regards
sureshbabu

Hi Suresh,
An AbstractPortalComponent extends the interface IPortalComponent, and only the method <i>doContent(...)</i> is declared abstract. It is technically a base component with few framework support (of course, it's methods are called in a predefined order, but there is no support for JSP etc.; on the other hand, you can use an AbstractPortalComponent if it is urgent that the framework hasn't written something into the reponse object - for example, if you want to offer some binary (like PDF, ZIP or whatever) to download).
See https://media.sdn.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/SPS15/ep/com/sapportals/portal/prt/component/IPortalComponent.html for the interface and the implementing abstract class.
See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/55/b85d421e1e5542e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm for a more detailed introduction.
A DynPage -- see http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/current/hb/com/sapportals/htmlb/page/DynPage.html -- is a bit more sophisticated, but does not support the setting of a JSP; it expects that the rendering happens programatically within the class itself.
In a JSPDynPage you can set the view (the JSP) which should be rendered (and you calculate at runtime which JSP of different this will be). So it supports the MVC-pattern directly. Help is offered at the links given above.
Hope it helps

Steps to configure R/3 system to Portal implementation

Hi
Please provide steps to configure R/3 system to Portal implementation
when i m opening standard iview in ESS in portal i m getting following runtime error.
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDRuntimeException: Failed to resolve JCO destination name 'SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics_MetaData' in the SLD. No such JCO destination is defined in the SLD.
Please help
Thanks

Hello Bhupinder Singh,
To use ESS/MSS services in Portal follow the following Steps
Maintaining jCo Connections
Use
jCo connections are used in iViews to connect directly to a backend. They are delivered with the portal content and must be activated (configured to access a specific system).
jCo connections have two parts: one with <jCo name>, and the other with suffix <jCo Name>_MetaData. The first one transfers user-specific data within the scenario; the other transfers only the needed metadata. For the jCo with name <jCo name>, SAP Logon Ticket is recommended as an authentication method. For the metadata connection, a user ID and password is needed. A system user created before is sufficient.
Procedure
Within this guide we generically describe the step-by-step procedure for an example connection set. Perform all steps for the following jCos:
u2022     SAP_R3_Financials / SAP_R3_Financials_Metadata
u2022     SAP_R3_HumanResources / SAP_R3_HumanResources_MetaData
u2022     SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics / SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics_MetaData
u2022     SAP_R3_Travel / SAP_R3_Travel_MetaData
u2022     SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics_MetaDataFIN
1.     Open the Web Dynpro Tool Applications overview page of your SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java: (http://<host>.<domain>:<port>/webdynpro/welcome)
2.     Select the Content Administrator link (or use a direct link, such as http://<host>.<domain>:<port>/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcwdtools/Explorer) and logon with j2ee administrator rights
3.     Choose the Maintain JCo Destinations button.
4.     The available jCos are displayed with a red light, indicating that they are not yet maintained.

New Portal Implementation Questions?

Hi,
We've just started a Portal Implementation in our company. Our environment is as follow:
- EP 6.0 SP9 (NW04 SR1 version)
- SAP 4.6C System (WPPI installed)
- Lotus Notes/Domino (we are using Domino LDAP)
My Questions are as follow:
1. Can we integrate Domino LDAP with portal? If not how can we access domino user database in this environment?Because all company users exist in domino database but small subset of company users have SAP user.
2. Currently I've created a system for 46C r3 system in system landscape and set it to use UIDPW for user management. I've mapped one of portal user with a SAP user and created iviews to run with wingui and webgui. All worked successfully. My question is that if there is any wey to enable SAP users to logon Portal without mapping? Online Docs. says that it is not possible to use R3 systems other than based on 620 WAS as a datasource for UME.
Regards

Hi Huseyin,
You need to create system in EP.
System administration>System Configuration>system landscape-->
1) create one folder like "system"
2) create system in the above folder
3) Enter all the details of R/3 System
4) create Iview and link to the R/3 system
you could allways look at the manual:

Parallel portal implementation in a non-unicode landscape

Hi All,
We have existing 3 system landscape with 3 systems in it.
DEVQASPRD.All of these systems are non-unicode.
The java add-in cannot be installed on them because the unicode java stack cannot talk to nonunicode abap stack.The customer does not wants to get his systems conerted to unicode.
So, how the portal implementation can be carried out in such a scenario?
We want to have an IPC installed too.
Can the communication happen in the following manner.
PRD(non-unicode)--->ipc--->EP.
PRD writing the pricing configurations on the ipc database and EP picking up the data from ipc??
Regards,
Prasanna

Hello,
We have the ECC 6.0 abap only as the backend.
Can the internet pricing configurator of the ECC 6.0 stack (VMC IPC) communicate with the portal to extract the pricing?
Since SAP IPC comes as a part of kernel for abap basic 7.0 and is it necessary to install the standalone IPC for it communicate with the portal.
Regards.

Portal implementation on PP/MM/SD modules

Greetings,
I've been working as Portal developer / HR functional using mainly MSS/ESS business package on the past 3 last projects and I had never worked with other module than HCM with Portal before
My manager asked me to help on a new Portal implementation to evaluate development time / resources ... but I really don't have much expertise on other modules regarding Portal development on PP/MM/SD modules, my questions :
- Is there a specific Business package for PP/MM/SD modules?
- Is there a ground zero point / basic documentation regarding portal implementation on these modules?
- What do you recomend me about it?
Thanks in advancce,

Portal Implementation for SAP Land Management Module?

Hi Gurus,
Has anyone done the Portal Implementation on SAP Land Management Module?
If so please share the documnets and also Please let me know is there any Business packages available for this module?
Thanks in Advance,
Dharani

Hi chandra,
You first need to understand the requirement of the business first because if there are 600 reports in legacy system you no need to presume that you need to develop 600 coz of the multidimensional report of BI you can club so many requirements in to one report. And you have to decide, up to what extent the Business content reports would be helpful. If the BC report meets the requirement it is as simple as that to activate and use it. But if the BC report wont meet the business requirement then you need to estimate the efforts to develop. Here you need to keep in mind that the standard extractors would be fine or need to enhance or need to go for Generic extraction. And also the HCM reports are big tricky and lot of data issues would rise. By considering all this you need to plan the days of work to complete all the reports.
I hope you understood what i am trying to explain.
Thanks,
RRRR

Skills required fir portal Implementation

Hi
What type of Skills required for Oracle Portal Implementation? Java/HTML?
Thanks

portal development is not like webpaging and so it does not ONLY need html.
however, it depends upon what role one wants to play in oracle portals. for a developer of merely portal forms and reports, java is not essential, but html is necessary for controlling and understanding formatting options. because, one may use the other route of using pl/sql. but a good familiarity with databases would be a must.
so i would say it would go like this:
1. a good familiarity with the databases and their design and implementations,
2. pl/sql or java: to interact with the oracle portal utilities and features;
3. and some interface development technologies: html plus dhtml/ javascript, xml, css, macromedia, etc.

More Easy Points...Portal Implementations

Hi all,
   I'm looking for information about portal implementations - project plans, staffing for the implementation, lessons learned, etc.
   I will happily award points for the right information.
   Thanks.
Dave

Hi,
You can deploy the portal in stages, for each of which you will need an implementation plan
that is distinct to the landscape.
The following are the key stages in which you plan and implement the portal landscape:
1. Development
The development stage consists of installation of the Portal Platform for content
development.
2. Integration and Testing
Integration and testing stage involves fine-tuning and troubleshooting issues, such as,
validating installations and testing the content developed during the development
stage.
3. Production
In the production phase, you scale the portal and implement high availability solutions.
Since you must deploy the portal in stages, any change implemented after completing the
production stage, such as, applying upgrades, support packages, patches, and other
applications changes the environment.
Regards,
Ameya

Documentation of Portal Implementation - Experiences Required!

Dear EP Experts & NW Gurus,
I would like to know:
1)Any amount of portal implementation includes creation of Portal objects and PAR files, systems etc etc..
Moving these portal objects from one env to other some times involves changing few properties..Here i would like to know as to how are the EP developers documenting the Portal Developement?
2) How are the diff companies & consultants following the process of Design, Specs, TestCases & implementation?
Since there are so many properties involved for portal objects, these properties need to be documented so that if some problem happens in prod system then the docs can be consulted to find out whether the properties are correct or not?
3) How does SAP themselves do the documentation of their releases?Is there some tools that they have created which queries some kind of databases & which just dumps the properties etc into some excel format...?
Why i am asking this is bcos (in our case) after such a large implementation (hundreds of portal objects & tons of config..), the docs which we created have become so heavey and big it sometimes becomes diff to manage the docs manually. & then when we have team scenario,(where many ppl work & new ppl come & join..)these docs maintainance is painfull.
4) Most of the time after implementaion, where the support starts and when old iView keeps on changing as per new req, <b>is there any Standard way by which we can maintain the versions of Portal objects and config..??</b>
Please remember that i am talking abt all the phases of Soft Dev (High level Design, Specs, TestCases)..
I would like to discuss what kind of documennation does SAP & others do for portal implementations..
Regards
Gaurav

Hi Dagfinn,
Thanx for the reply..
I also think that the documentation should never become a burden..but a boon..
- Can you explain in detail about the first point (writing script)..are u saying that by some means i traverse the PCD and pickup the portal objects etc..
- We are on NW and have also configuared JDI recently. But how to use JDI for such kind of requirement.
Also as i asked, do u have any knowledge about Version Maintanance of Portal Objects?
The reason why i am again asking this is because what has happened recently is that since many ppl work on same objects and later on if an administrator wants to debug that who has changed what property -> it becomes diff to find out. even if i find that who has changed by "Changed by" but out of soo many propertes of any iView, which one was changed????
Regarding your answer about PCD Databases Browser.. in thread (Changing name of PCD object EP 6.0 SP11)
<i>Yes,
You can use the PCD database browser to change pcd properties, though I am not sure if it is included in NetWeaver.
Dagfinn</i>
I am on SP11 & SP9, and i am able to find that tool, but still not able to successfully connect. As soon as i connect, i willlet u know...
What about the other people here in SDN, what do the others have to say...??

Integrating Pentaho(BI tool) with Liferay Portal (implementing MyFaces)

Hey friends,
i'm a newbie to the Science of Liferay (Portal Servers).
and i kind of think this may not be an appropriate forum to post this query and i know that Many people might be bored by this discurssion
and i'm sorry as i was not able to get any helpful articles(Tech tips) after a strenuous google / forums (java,liferay/pentaho).
aliright,here is my problem.
My company is in the phase of migrating their tech.. resources they wanted to get adapted to open source technologies which could facilitate us to deliever cost affective services.
For, which we decided to go by integrating Liferay Protal(MyFaces implementations) at Presentation / View Layers,Spring (@biz layer) & Hibernate(@DA layer) and we were researching on few Open Source BI tools which could cater our requirements for our reporting front.On a detail survey we found an open source BI tool called "Pentaho" catering our needs.
I heard that there are few internal BI tools(ServiceMix JBI engine) which comes with Liferay itself but we were unable to cater requirements with them. So we've decided to integrate Liferay with this reporting tool called "pentaho".I was just wondering if someone is already working on this front,if so i'd be glad if they can share some info of how to go about it.
It would be gr8 if someone can share details in form on few good links to few tech. discurssions & few valid points.
Thanks in Advance !!!

Portal Implementation with Unicode options on R/3 systems

Dear All,
I have a very specific and unique query. We are implementing ESS, MSS, MBO for our clients, and in the process have upgraded the production servers to R/3 4.7 version ( Non - Unicode ). We're using EP 6.0 as the front for the same .
My question is as below :
Today the client is not interested in having interface other than english, but moving down the line after 2 years he would like to have a Korean language interface, which might require R/3 4.7 with Koran language unicode and functions converted.
What I want to know is whether this effort in upgrading to the unicode version of Korean on R/3 , before we actually implement ESS / MSS etc is better or should we upgrade to a unicode version 2 years later ?
In either case what are the advantages and disadvantages ?
Expert insight sought,
Regards,
Neeraj S.

Hi Marcel,
The portal capabilities of SAP NetWeaver are built on unicode (all JAVA based applications are based on unicode). This means that you can install many languages including exotic language like Kanji, Chinese, etc on the system.
SAP R/3 Enterprise (4.7) supports 3 multi-language solutions:
Unicode: Same as portal in that almost all language characters in the world are supported.
Single non-unicode code page: Prior to unicode, single code pages enabled support of multiple languages with common characters via one code page (e.g. Latin-1 code page supported all western European languages).
MDMP: a stop gap solution prior to the release of unicode which used a clever switching mechanism to handle the processing of languages that spanned multiple non-unicode code pages. This solution had very strict restrictions and is not recommended anymore as unicode is available. mySAP ERP 2005 does not support MDMP anymore.
If you connect a portal to a backend mySAP ERP system you should only communicate and process languages that are installed on the mySAP ERP system. This ensures that no data is corrupted during transfer. Obviously the portal can support more language but you should not interface with the backend system in these languages.
I hope this helps,
Mike.

Had a few questions/doubts in my mind regarding the costing side of implementation of Enterprise portal.
If i take an example that an Enterprise has SAP ECC 6.0 implemented, and would need to implement ESS/MSS packages !!!
Can someone please help in explaining :-
- What amount would an enterprise need to spend to get the EP packages?
- Availability of different packages provided by SAP?
- The licensing cost and what all different packages are available provided by SAP.
Thanks,
Puneet

Hello,
please discuss issues like this with your account manager at SAP and not officially in SDN.
