PORTAL on existing MID

We have a INFRA and MID layer (10.1.2) installed for use with forms and Discoverer.
We now want to add portal.
Can I install portal (10.1.4 and upgrade to 10.1.4) on existing MID? How?
Thanks

Hi Sleepy.
I think that is possible to configure the portal in this MID.
I think that in Application Server Control there are a button to configure the OC4J_Portal.

Converting existing MIDI loops

Hi,
I have a bunch of previously acquired and used MIDI loops, which I should like to import and use in GarageBand. When double-clicked, the MIDI loops open in QuickTime, with which I can export to an AIF file - but these are full-lenth, 3-4 minute long AIF sound files repeating the 5-10 second loop over and over.
How can I reliably extract a single cycle to save as an AIF file and import to GarageBand? Preferably, as I have a boatload of these, I am looking for a utility/script that can do this in batch mode...
Thanks, Tristan

Hi,
...well, that didn't work either: dragging those files over onto the track portion of the window (either an existing instrument or the empty area) did not turn the cursor into "+"; upon releasing, the files would jump back to the Finder window.
That got me thinking, that perhaps these were somehow not proper MIDI files (they came from a cross-platform program). Upon opening one of them with QuickTime, I exported it as "Music to Standard MIDI", and that file indeed can be dropped into the track, and creates its "Software instrument" and the full repetitive track. The created file has the type "Midi", creator "????" and UTI "dyn.ah62d4rv4ge8044pe"; and, just changing the type of the original file from "MooV" to "Midi" doesn't make it work.
From this, I can now indeed cut down to a desired cycle, and save that in GB's library. So, I now do have a method for importing these files:
(1) Open in QuickTime & export as standard MIDI file.
(2) Drag to GB's track, cut and save the result.
(3) Tweak the velocity information, since the setting obtained is disproportionate: the sounds of lesser volume are barely audible.
(4) Repeat. ...great...
Well, that answers my original question; thanks for insisting that GB should be able to use the (standard) MIDI files.
Thanks, Tristan

How to check whether portal user exists or not using UM API.

Hi Experts,
Let us say i need to create an user account "PortalUser",i know how to create an user,setting first name,lastname,password for that.
but here before creating the portal user, i need to check whether that user exists or not.If user already exists ,then i need to skip the below for creating the user.
IUserFactory userFact = UMFactory.getUserFactory();
IGroupFactory groupFact = UMFactory.getGroupFactory();
IRoleFactory roleFact = UMFactory.getRoleFactory();
IUser tuser = userFact.getUserByLogonID("PortalUser");
IUserMaint newUser = userFact.newUser("PortalUser");
newUser.setFirstName("PortalUser");
newUser.setLastName("Test");
newUser.setEmail("PortalUser.Testatgmaildotcom");
//Locale PortalLanguage = new Locale(Lang.toLowerCase(), "");
Locale PortalLang=new Locale("en");
newUser.setLocale(PortalLang);
newUser.save();
newUser.commit();
IUserAccount userAcc = UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory().newUserAccount("PortalUser", newUser.getUniqueID());
userAcc.setPassword("test1test$");
userAcc.save();
userAcc.commit();
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Sony.

Hi,
Try this code,
IUserFactory factory = UMFactory.getUserFactory();
IUser user = factory.getUserByLogonID(userId);
lastName = user.getLastName();
firstName = user.getFirstName();

Install infra tier with an existing mid tier

Hi,
I've received a request to add an infra tier to my existing OAS installation. I already got an OAS installation on a windows2003 server and for a new application we need the infra tier.
Can I install the infra tier without affecting my current mid tier installation?
Kind regards,
Wim Blom

sure, dont worry about it, just when doing it, try to unset any ORACLE_HOME environment variable as well remove it any call from PATH enviroment variable, finally not least, use a direrent location for the instalaltion path (ORACLE_HOME).
Greetings.

Changing instruments deadens pre-existing midi file

Hello there folks,
I'm working on a song that has one instance of a midi bassoon. It sounds pretty mediocre so I bought Berlin Wood Winds and would like to replace the instrument with a new one. So what I have done is created a copy of the track keeping all settings. I then hold down option and drag down the midi file. When I play this I hear the second midi bassoon play. (the original one is muted.) However, as soon as I change the instrument the midi file no longer plays. I can play the new instrument live with my midi controller, but the actual midi data seems to be deadened. I have tried loading an instance of Trillian and that has the same problem! What could I be doing wrong? Is this a bug?
I'm running Logic 9.1.7 on a 2.44 Ghz 12-core Mac Pro, in 10.8.1 with 24 Gigs of memory.
Many thanks for any help in advance!
- Fredo

Very strange. I've actually had a similar experience before, but rather than cut the volume, the volume would be raised to +3 like there was some type of automation...yet I could never find any automation assigned.
The Basics: A couple trouble shooting tips (I apologize if they seem rather "amateurish")
Check for hidden automation on the track
Check for automation within the MIDI region itself (located under the piano roll) or HypeEditor
Create a new, blank instrument track. Import AU instrument. Duplicate MIDI region to new track.
If not of these work, what I find will work is to copy the actual notes from the original MIDI region, create a new MIDI region and paste the notes.
Cheers.

Add drawbar and rotary speaker effects to existing midi performance?

I'm not much of a keyboard player, and I'm wondering if there's a way to do this. I'm looking for the simplest solution. I've recorded a simple rock organ part with a B3 software instrument. Basic chords. I'd like to now go back and add "live" drawbar and rotary speaker effect. I can manipulate them easy enough in the graphical interface, but I can't figure out how to "commit" them to my midi track. Is there a way to do this that doesn't involve piano editors and pencils and the like? I want to feel the track and perform the enhancements live.
Thanks.

Hi

what will happen if I subsequently again use automation on that channel to say ride volume in the mix? Will I lose my organ drawbar and rotary enhancements?
Not unless you use Write mode for automation (Touch or Latch will be fine).
The Popper wrote:
would you be so generous as so share one of the other "ways" that you allude to?
Depending on the B3 preset, most use MIDI CC64 (Sustain) to switch the Rotary Speaker, and you can configure the organ to operate in a number of "Controller emulation modes" which can map the drawbars etc to MID CC messages.
With the right MIDI controller setup, you could simply record these CC messages, or you could draw them in using MIDI Draw, or the Step Editor

Deploying an existing WAR file into the Portal

I have downloaded the Enterprise Portal and the SAP Netweaver Developer Studio (NDS) and have succeeded in creating a couple of projects of the Hello World variety and deployed them on the Portal! So far, so good.
The problem I have is that need to deploy on the Portal an existing JSP/Struts application of ours which is available as a Web Archive (WAR) file.
The problem is that I cannot find a way of deploying an existing WAR file on the Portal either via a Project or otherwise. I have found an entry in the Help files with the NDS which sounds promising, as it is entitled Import a .WAR File into a new project. However, the menu entry it says you should use (File ‑> Import ‑> MDK: Import a web archive (.WAR) into a new project) this last entry does not exist on my installation of NDS.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi Mustafa (and All) - thanks you very much for your answers, which has enabled me to make good progress.
I have created a project in the Deploy Tool, imported a simple WAR file into it, loaded to project and depployed it on my instance of the Portal - or at least I have deployed it as far as the Deploy Tool is concerned.
However, when I try to find it in the Portal in order to assign it to an iView in the Portal content, I can't find any evidence of its existence!!
As another 'tack' in the NDS I have created an 'Enterprise Application Project', into which I appear to have imported the WAR file - but I cant package this as a PAR file, which is what I seem to need to do to get it into an iView on the Portal. To create a PAR package I seem to need to create a 'Portal Application Project' - but I can't find a way of getting the WAR file into that!!
Any further advice would be greatefully received.
Thanks for your help to date and thanks in advance for any more you may be able to give.
Regards,
Dave

Portal Forms are not displayed in the new migrated environment.

Hi All,
We have a distributed Portal environment. Application server and Portal Repository running on one system(System1) and one more portal repository and portal components existing in anothor system(System2). Through DAD we connect to System2 and access the componets. Recently we have done a migration.The Database along the Portal Repository in system2 was migrated to a new server. For this we have edited the DAD and made the necessary changes. But after the migration, the Forms residing in migrated portal repository(System2) are not getting dispayed.The rest of the things(Reports, Pages, Links,LOVs etc..) are working fine. The forms are not getting displayed in the pages where it's added. When forms are run from RUN link in Develop Tab it's showing ERROR but not the cause of the error. Will anyone tell what changes I have to do to make the Forms work?
Thanks in Advance,

Hi DIAdemUser1,
This feature was indeed removed. R&D felt like it caused more confusion than benefit, and I agree. I do apologize to you and others who liked the feature that has now disappeared. When DIAdem 9.0 released the custom properties in the Data Portal showed their data types, but that feature was also removed in favor of simplicity. I often miss that feature, but it's for the greater good.

Webdynpro - Check if a portal user has a user in R/3 Backend

Hi Experts,
i have following problem, and maybe some of you can help me out with an idea or (much better) a solution:
Our Company is running an Enterprise Portal on NW2004s (SPS 18). Currently i am developing a Java WebDynpro Application for the portal called Transactionstarter. Withhin this application a portal user can simply add a backend System (R/3), a transaction and a Description. This information will be stored in a xml file in userhome in KM. When the user clicks the description, SAP WinGui will open with the transaction he defined before. We use SSO for opening the transaction if the user has a backend user. If not, the loginscreen of the backend will appear.
All this works fine.
Now we have the requirement for an automated system check.
The portal user can run an initial system check. This system check should check all configured backend systems if the portal user has a user in R/3 backend.
But how can i check if my portal user exists in backend?
I cannot use JCO because we have a lot of Systems (more than 300 all together) and i don´t want to create a destination for every system. Or did i misunderstood something with JCO?
Does anyone of you have a solution, how i can check every system, if the portal user has also a backend user?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Pascal

Hi Pascal,
with JCO you can use also the method JCO.createClient:
public static JCO.Client createClient(java.lang.String client,
                                      java.lang.String user,
                                      java.lang.String passwd,
                                      java.lang.String lang,
                                      java.lang.String mshost,
                                      java.lang.String r3name,
                                      java.lang.String group)
Creates an instance of a client connection to a remote SAP system (with load balancing)
Parameters:
client - SAP logon client
user - SAP logon user
passwd - SAP logon password
lang - SAP logon language
mshost - Host name of the message server
r3name - Name of the SAP system
group - Name of the group of application servers
Returns:
the newly created client
for connections to other systems. So you can avoid to create destinations

9.0.2.6 Portal Repository Upgrade Patch problems.

We got some problem with Portal when tryed to apply
9.0.2.6 Upgrade. Could anybody give advice on this issue:
Initial configuration:
Solaris8, Portal 9.0.2.2.14, Oracle 9iAS R2 v.9.0.2.0, RDBMS 9.0.1.3. The infrastructure and midtier work on different SPARC-servers.
Accordingly upgrade procedure we succesfully applied:
a) Infrastructure: 9.0.1.4 Patchset for Oracle RDBMS server, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for OID, Oracle 9iAS SSO-server
migration to 9.0.2.5, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for 9iAS Core.
b) 9.0.1.4 Patchset for Oracle RDBMS server, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for OID, Oracle 9iAS SSO-server migration to 9.0.2.5, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for 9iAS Core, Portal 9.0.2.6
patch.
After this we needed to make just one last step:
Portal 9.0.2.6 Repository Upgrade Patch (2981297) for
changing Portal's repository schemes. It worked but
like a result we got the next errors after patch upgrade
was done:
a) "The following invalid non-Portal objects exist in the Portal Schema: INDEX ABC (the name of portal object), PACKAGE BODY WWMON_REP_REPOSITORY, PACKAGE BODY WWMON_REP_REPOSIT_DTL, PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "," when expecting one of the following: (-+case mod not null <an identifier>,...) The symbol "null" was substituted for "," to continue.)" See upgtmp/nonportal.log
b) "ERROR: 1 invalid objects remain; ERROR: Failed while updating the new portlet IDS..."
c) "ERROR: ORA-01407: cannot update ("PORTAL"."WWSBR_URL$"."URL") to NULL.
d) Two package body of packages at PORTAL scheme became invalid: WWMON_REP_REPOSITORY, WWMON_REP_REPOSIT_DTL. About 20 package body of packages at PORTAL_DEMO became invalid (It seems like initial portlet ID's disappeared
and except of pportlet_id there is nothing:
Example:
inital statement at body:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PORTAL.wwpro_api_invalidation.invalidate_cache(
p_provider_id => p_provider_id,
p_portletid => 1065753336,
p_instance_id => p_reference_path,
p_subscriber_id => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_subscriber_id ,
p_user => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_user);
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
after upgrade repository patch:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PORTAL.wwpro_api_invalidation.invalidate_cache(
p_provider_id => p_provider_id,
p_portletid => ,
p_instance_id => p_reference_path,
p_subscriber_id => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_subscriber_id ,
p_user => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_user);
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Like a result after 9.0.2.6 Portal Repository Upgrade Patch application we lost the possibility to edit user's
profiles at Portal and other nesessary features. It seems
like some portlet ID's just dissapeared from Portal scheme. Could anybody had the same problem with Portal Upgrade 9.0.2.6? Quite possible that we missed some important element at during upgrade but ,really, we didn't wait so unlucky result. Advice something, please...
Regards. Igor.

Igor,
Since you've encountered undocumented errors, your repository upgrade has failed. You'll want to leave the repository as is for troublshooting, if at all possible, and log a TAR with support if you haven't already. They'll ask you to upload your upgrade log file and your upgrade tmp directory.

Enterprise Portal - MDM - LDAP integration

We are succesfully able to integrate Portal to MDM with a trusted connection and with portal users existing in LDAP and mdm users existing in MDM console.
We also successfully integrated MDM with LDAP so that we dont have to store users in console, but manage them in LDAP. But once we did the LDAP integration, portal to MDM connection was lost saying mdm user details could not be retrieved.
Has anybody faced this issue? what key steps to taken care during MDM-LDAP integration.

Hi goerge,
When ever we integrate MDM with LDAP, we need to make a setting in MDS.ini file.
Please check the "User Identifier" setting in MDS.ini file.
Typically this should be The name of the LDAP id field which will match the value the user provides as the Username at logon.
Make the entry in MDS.ini like User Identifier = cn or SamAccountName.
If that is done, please verify other parameters corresponding to LDAP in MDS.ini as per the table 91 in Page no 291 in MDM Console referece guide.
Or refer to the SAP note 1635338 for reference which is pointing to same issue.
This should solve your problem.

Sravan

Re: BI BEx query in Portal

Hi All,
My user wants me to develop a report which to be displayed in portal.
Kindly tell me what all the ways I can achieve this.
Few questions,
1. There is an option available in BEx query Designer publish to portal. How to use this. what will happen if i click that. where it will go. how to assign this to the portal user role.
2. how to create an iview in portal for existing bi query?
3. Iview, if i am creating an iview in portal using bi query. how to publish that to the user.
Pls give me a complete picture on the above needs.
Regards,
Anand.

Hi,
If you have BEx poratl already available then there is no issue.
When you will click on that it will ask for iView creation and folder name then select the appropprite one. Just continue with that.
You need to have proper authorization for that.
You may refer following document for the same.

CRM Portal Role Copier

Anybody used this tool?
A portal role is linked to a backend single role. SAP ships several standard portal roles / backend single roles specific to CRM.
Since the CRM Portal Roles hyperlink between several portal iViews / PCUI applications within the Portal (this is setup in the backend on tables crmc_prt_role_mo & crmc_prt_role_rl). To make things easier there is a role copied on the Portal (crm admin role)
But I've tried using this by copying a crm backend single role and portal role that exists to a new single backend crm role and portal role. So far hasn't work
The documentation says make sure the single role and portal role exists - are they talking about the destination role?
Also mentions addition to desitnation role field - what's this?

To keep it clear ,using role copier copy CRM backend role to custom role whatever created on portal .Once portal role is generated assign that to user profile to get the object links .
Thanks,
Thirumala.

Starting existing workflow from web dynpro application (ABAP)

Hi experts,
    I am working on web dynpro application from which when I click on a button an existing workflow should trigger. This will be used in portal replacing existing iview with jsp. I did lot of reading on SDN maybe too much that I am confused how to get started. Here is what I have currently.
We have an existing workflow that sends an approval email to manager when ever some unit information changes. In current functionality, workflow is triggered by event which is linked to workflow in transaction "swetypv". We defined scenario in "qisrscenario" that contains all elements to populate workflow container. The methods to get data into workflow container, send email etc are all written in business object methods. We have a class that implements standard SAP BADI "IF_EX_QISR1"(IF_EX_QISR1~SCENARIO_PROCESS_USER_COMMAND method) that probably has all logic. In current functionality when the workflow gets created it sends notification number back to portal jsp page that triggered the workflow on button click. Users look at notification number in iqs23 for workflow log, PCR form data etc. and I need that functionality too. Now I am confused where I should start so that I can use ew web dynpro applciation instead of jsp iview but want all the functionality that we currently have. How can I start workflow and get notification number back to web dynpro so that I can display that to user? The approving manager goes to UWL to approve, reject the workitem and workflow then finishes.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
