Portal Language fro ESS

Hi,
We need to figure out how we will be assigning the portal language per country so we can be sure date and decimals are formatted correctly. This needs to be assigned to the user, not by the user though. This assignment will override the users internet browser language setting.
Does anyone have any options to implement this?
Any insights will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Neeta

Hi Sharada,
Many Thanks for your reply.
Here I am sending the clear view of my query 1
I have deployed ESS/MSS 1.0 business packages for the portal 7.0.
I have creted 1 user in portal and assigned ESS role to him,and also created same user In ECC 6.0 with same password.(Assuming no backend connectivity)
When I am tring to login to the portal with newly creted user-id I am able to login and I am able to see the toplevel navigation like working time,benefits and payment,personal links.
When I am clicking above links I am not getting the further navigation for these links.Please let me know what I need to do inorder to get the links.
Once again I am confirming that my ESS deployment is correct only.If the deployment is wrong means we can't get the directory(refer 2nd query) in my early mail.My EP version is 7.0
Your help would be more useful for me
Many thanks in advance
Thanks&regards,
rk.

Passing parameter spage id and portal language to a report portlet

Hi,
how can I pass the page id and portal language to a report portlet so I can filter my query according to that page id and language. See the report query below:
select <information required> from ana_statistics
where portal_page = :page_parameter
and language = :portal_language
Thanks

Yes, you can.
Here is an example.
Form: on scott.emp table.
Define the On successful submission of a form as
go('http://<server>:<port>/servlet/page?_pageid=<page id>&_dad=<dad>&_schema=<schema>&dept='||p_session.get_value_as_NUMBER(
p_block_name => p_block_name,
p_attribute_name => 'A_DEPTNO',
p_index => 1));
Report: alos on scott.emp table:
select * from SCOTT.EMP where DEPTNO = :dept
and define the "before displaying the page" as
<portal schema>.wwv_name_value.replace_value(
l_arg_names,
l_arg_values,
p_reference_path||'.dept',
<portal schema>.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(nvl(get_value('dept'),10)));
Put those two portlets on a page, after you submit the form (after Insert, Update, Delete),
the page will be refreshed and the deptno will be passed to the report.
Hope this helps.
This example was built on portal 309.

Portal language refresh / reload (user data source ABAP stack)

Hello,
I'm on SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 with user data source on ABAP stack.
I'm trying to create simple JavaScript links for changing the Portal language.
I was able to change the ABAP stack user's logon language by BAPI call.
But the newly set language shows up only after the user logs out and logs in again.
I know that in the WebDynpro for Java, which implements the UME user interface, there is a functionality, that allows that relogging of the user is not necessary. After setting the language you only refresh the browser page (F5) and the new language shows up.
Does anyone know what function I should call, for the language refresh (could be the same as in UME standard WDJ)?

Hi Andres,
language doesn't change on the Portal. The content remains in the previous language.
I know that the switching of Logon language parameter in the user profile in ABAP stack and logoff and login on the portal leads to change of the language on the Portal. But I don't know, how to do it without the relogging of the user.
I change the Logon language in ABAP by AJAX call of BAPI.
Thank you for any idea.

Portal Language/Date Format

Hi,
Portal Version: 10.1.4
Currently our default Portal language is us and the date format dd-mon-yyyy. Since this not a very common format here page publishers are having difficulties at times to enter the correct date and I would like to change it to dd/mm/yyyy. If I install a different language by running the ptllang script, will I get a different date format too?
Regards
B.

According to Oracle documentation this can be changed @ sesion level by the following :
Alter session set nls_date_format='mm/dd/yyyy';
======================================================
To change it @ the instance level, the following needs to be added in the init.ora file :
Nls_date_format="mm/dd/yyyy".

Portal Language Questions

Please guide me on this.

Hi Marcus,
We recently installed more Portal languages for an SSO project. This resulted in some IAC iViews no longer letting the user through to the backend over the ITS server if a language was used that was not available on the backend. The user would get a logon screen instead of the transaction with the language set to the portal language.
You can configure the iView to force a language that's available on the backend, but you can only select a single language here. If a user has a language selected in the Portal that would be available on the backend, then he will still be forced to work with that forced language...
So far I am unaware of a solution where you can pull the available languages on the backend directly. Our solution was to a enter the available languages in a parameter in the transaction iView, then read this parameter and see if the user has one of these languages selected. If not, then he's forced to use a fallback language (English for example).
You can read more about it here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/de95e490-0201-0010-b390-f0f23a95e2b8
So yeah, in essence you don't get an error per say, but you will be forced to change you r language in the iView before you can logon.
Cheers,
Hermann

Not able to see portal language in Personalize option

Hi All,
I login as an administrator, click Personalize option in the masthead ivew, I m unable to see the Portal Language option.
Other options such as workprotect mode and user mapping(remote iviews) are also not shown.
I m using EP6 SP13.
Is it because some permissions are missing??
Thanks in advance.

I have checked that eu_role is assigned to admin and I know that eu_role is needed to view the personalize link.
Also, in the path that you have provided....Content Provided by SAP >> End User Content >> Standard Portal Users. >> worksets folder>>'portal personalization' workset ...I am able to see Portal Language,workprotect mode and other pages......

Language of Webdynpro after changing the Portal Language

Hi All,
Even after changing the portal language from for ex. English to French, the webdynpro is still displayed in English language.
If this session (portal window) is closed and new portal session is started, then the webdynpro is displayed in French.
Also please note that, for iviews built using Portal HTMLB (like JspDynPages), restarting the session is not necessary.
Any answer/solution/pointers/SAP Notes supplied is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Rajit

Hi,
Refer to SAP Note 947081 about Internationalization
The Blog at /people/bertram.ganz/blog/2007/01/08/the-top-12-hottest-sap-notes-every-web-dynpro-java-developer-must-know talks about this Note.
3rd point mentions about "Language change in the portal (through portal personalization) does not get immediately reflected in the Web Dynpro iViews?"
Hope this solves your query.
Kind Regards,
Nitin

Restricting Portal Languages

Hello,
we would like to use only german and english as portal languages. Furthermore we have some users from ldap that don't have a language attribute. The users are from countries like finland and the browsers settings determine a finish portal. But we would like them to see an english portal.
We tried the language setting for logon page but browser language is still taken.
Does anyone have an idea how this can be solved ?
Kind Regards
Joachim Bertram

Hi,
Check this to know, where to find locale_list_service:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b2/77284a96264e9183161b7e8718dfa8/frameset.htm
Note 624929 still applies for EP 7.0, so this way you limit languages user can select in his profile.
But this still does not solve your problem, when the browser languages is different from german and english.
Check this how the Lookup of Resource Bundle happens:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/42/938297a5061d69e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
The only way to restrict that your portal shows only german and english is by having these languages set in user profiles. If not you will have to remove the Resource bundle properties files for other languages in all portal applications, which is really cumbersome.
So my advice is to apply Note 624929 and removes all languages except german and english, set german and english in all user profiles.

Praveen Gudapati

WDJ - List all Portal Languages

Hi,
There is anyway of get all languages available in Portal from WebDynpro Java ?
My requirement is to list all languages available in a combobox.
thanks.

I think portal uses some languages.properties file for supported portal languages.
The List of available language is defined in a Bundle, which is available as EAR file in UME engine.
Just a vague idea.. Can you read it in webdynpro?
