Portal Language Questions

Hi ALL,
I have a question. I am changing the portal language.
1)Do I need to change back end language.
2)If I need to change the back end language, tell me which of these back ends need to change the language setting.
ECC
SRM
CRM ISA
MDM
BI
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

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 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,

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.
Abhishek.

Hi Sai,

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......
but when I click on the personalize link of the portal......I m unable to see those links.
Any help?

Portal Secret Question

Hi,
I need to develop a report using PDK / Web Dynpro to generate Report of users who have not set the Secret Question in Portal. . Could someone share sample code for getting Portal Secret Question through UME API? . We are having NW 7.0 SP17 landscape. The purpose of the report is to send mail to users asking them to set the secret question who have not maintained the secret questions . When they forget the password , request is created for auth team to reset the user's password.
In general , Is there any way to enforce the user to set the portal secret question during initial logon or at least whether report can be developed using UME API.
Thanks
Vasu

Hi Vasu,
Try printing all namespace and attibutes using following code. You might find the required namespace-attribute mapping.
IWDClientUser wdClientUser1 = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
IUser user = wdClientUser1.getSAPUser();
try
 String[] namespaces = user.getAttributeNamespaces();
 for(int i=0; i<namespaces.length; i++)
 response.write(" Processing namespace "+namespaces);
 response.write(" ==================================");
 String[] attributes = user.getAttributeNames(namespaces);
 for(int j=0; j<attributes.length; j++)
 response.write(" ATTRIBUTE NAME="+attributes[j]);
catch(Exception e)
 response.write(e.getMessage());
Also, check out UME API : http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/se/overview-summary.html
Hope this helps.
