Portal Page

1. There is minimum customization I can do with portal page by adding a HTML Portlet and writing my own html tags to the content area. I would like to know where the page resides, so I can access the source code and customize the whole page to my needs.
null

With the upcoming 3.0.8 release of Portal (shipped as part of 9iAS 1.0.2.1), we will be providing the new feature of "page templates" that will allow you to further customize not only the HTML body, but also the HTML header code of a portal page. It will work very much in the same way as page templates currently do within Portal Application components (charts, forms, reports, etc..)
The code (metadata, page tags, etc) for a portal page reside in the portal repository within the database. We provide many declarative facilities (portlets, page styles, page layouts, 3.0.8 page templates, etc..) and the PDK that will allow you to customize and tune your portal pages as you please.

Publishing content from reports server to a portal page

I have a system with Forms/Reports 6i in a client/server implementation. I have 6i reports server from this on the server tier. I have added 9iAS (minimal install) to get Portal and HTTP server. I have completed the configuration and I can have the portal page submit jobs to the reports server and they are displayed properly.
But I also wish to run reports from the application. This app submits jobs to the reports server via RWCLI60. I was hoping I could use 'File' as the destype and drop off content into a directory the web server knows about and then have a portal page that will generate links to the files. These could be pdf or html output.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible and provide a short list of steps to configure it? Thanks.

there is an example of this on dev2dev, see sample code, "redirect" example

Issue in redirecting to portal page from SSO login page

HI facing issue while redirecting to portal application from SSO login page.please find below basic details
the application comprises of TAM / Apache / Weblogic, and all the request goes in the same order.
When the application is deployed as portlet, the jsp page some how hard codes the apache host name, that in turn blocks any form submit or Ajax action.
so on successful login the redirection is not happening to required portal page as it includes apache host name in the url consrtucted.
Please suggest me what are the configurations that I need to verify .
Thanks in Advance

If you upgrade to v7.1 you will have all those features and more - PLUS a lot of defective pieces have been fixed in 7.1

How to change one iView to another in portal page by clicking the third one

Hi all!
I have created four iViews: two speedometers with web application designer and two iViews with visual composer. I added the speedometers and a visual composer iView #1 to a portal page (default view). The requirement is that by clicking the speedometer #2, the visual composer iView #2 would replace visual composer iView #1 on the portal page. If the user then would select the speedometer #1 again by clicking it, visual composer iView #2 would replace #1 again and so on.
I have read article http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50b65a5d-f397-2910-a78a-f5544f21c33b?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true, but it is more about filtering VC iView values with BI web items. I don't need to filter anything, just to change one iView to another in a portal view by clicking a third one.
I have thought of placing two VC iView to a same portal page area and defining one of the to be visible and another hidden (by clicking speedometers these properties would change), but I haven't found the way how that could be done in portal. Is there a way to define some OnClick-method to change visibility parameters or url-address of another iView?
One solution might be¨on the other hand to transfer any value to VC by clicking a speedometer and to change the visibility of the VC iViews according to that value (the speedometer #1 should in that case transfer other value to VC than speedometer #2). I don't know if that is possible with speedometers - you can't reference any characteristics or variables with it.
If you have an idea, what would be the best way to accomplish this requirement, I would be very glad to hear about it! We are in VC 7.0.
Points garanteed!
Regards
Sari

Hi,
In the portal, create a page and place the iView having the three input fields on top. Place the second iView below. Keep differing the second iView for every page. In this way you can make the iView with 3 input fields only in the desired pages. You can use EPCF to invoke / navigate to another iView.

Portal Applications in Portal Page

In the newest version of Portal (Oracle9ias Portal Release 2) I'm having the following problem:
I have a Portal form that I created in Portal. I want to add that Portal form as a portlet in a Portal Page. I can add the Portal Form successfully into the page if I add the form as a 'Item Displayed Directly In Page Area'. However, if I chose the display as a 'Link That Displays Item In New Browser Window ' or 'Link That Displays Item In Full Browser Window', no link appears. In past versions if I selected this option a link would appear in the page that took me to the Portal Form. In this new version, the portlet is added but the link is invisible??? Is this a bug or is there something I'm missing???

Hi,
This is a bug. It has already been filed.

How to show or hide portlets dynamically on a Portal Page

Dear All
1. I have a Portal Page with One Portlet in the top having like 5 Buttons. Each button click should display a separate portlet in the bottom on this same page.
2. I have Top Portlet. For bottom I have 5 Portlets P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5. On my .portal file, I dragged and dropped top portlet and all these 5 Portlets one below each other.
3. Now, I am trying to use BackingFile approach at PageLevel/Portlet level, to get the details of button clicked in top portlet (like name etc), and then show only one portlet at a time in the bottom section (using portlet backingcontext show/hide APIs). I do need to compare the bottom portlets defintion_label etc. which is fine for now.
Is this the right approach...?
Or do I have to use Portlet Custom Event approach. So top portlet will trigger event everytime button is clicked with some payload. And bottom 5 portlets listen to that event and show/hide accordingly. But in this approach, I have to attach backingfile to all the bottom portlets to listen to them.
All the portlets are Pageflow based Portlets. Any ideas or any other simpler approaches, are highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ravi Jegga

Hi Kevin
1. Thanks a lot for the pointers. I will go with Events. So for bottom Portlets, I will use the same BackingFile. But still it is going to be custom Event. Because only one portlet will be shown. So its like my payload will be portlet def label. In Backing File, I will compare this payload with actual dynamic value and if same, show or hide that portlet. Please let me know if this is correct approach.
2. Now each one of the Bottom Portlets is a complex pageflow portlet with many buttons of their own. So everytime a button is clicked or action is invoked, the Backing File gets called. And I had to somehow know that the same portlet has to be shown or the show/hide logic should not be called. Is there any way, where backing file gets called or just listen for Events triggered only from main top portlet.
Thanks for the other message, where looks like you already gave lots of pointers. I will go through them.
I will design and test this out and will keep you posted with my results.
Thanks a lot again

Refreshing a single portlet rather than the whole portal page

Ok, here's my situation.
I have two pdk portlets on my portal that communicate through page parameters. Portlet A has a bunch of search fields, a customer drop-down list, parts drop-down list, division, etc. Portlet B takes those parameters, queries the database, and displays the results. I would like to be able to refresh portlet B without reloading the whole portal page.
I have onchange events on all of my drop-downs that will do a javascript post back to portal, which will in turn set my page parameters, and I see there is a 'refreshPortlet' function in a javascript file that portal provides that will refresh a single portlet based on a portletReferenceId. It is normally called when a refresh button is clicked in the portlet header, but I don't see any reason I can't call it after my javascript post, that is, if I had the portletReferenceId for the other portlet. I thought about making a hidden html table on the page that, I could fill with the portlet names and ids for each portlet as they load, that way I could reference that list from any portlet. The problem is I can't figure out where the ids are coming from. Based on the code behind the button, the function is looking for something like this 646_701285_646_1_701271, but the closest thing I can come up with is this 676114_POSTCONTENTPORTLET_467414915 which I got from PortletRenderRequest.getPortletInstance().getInstanceName(). As you can see, it's not even close. Does anyone know where the correct id could be coming from? It's got to be available to me somewhere, doesn't it?
The only other option I can think of to accomplish my goal is to use straight up ajax to display portlet B, but that kind of defeats the purpose of portal doesn't it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Doug

You can use Ctrl+F4 to close the current tab. I don't think that you can change the Alt+F4 action with Keyconfig.

Copy a file from server to the client - URLConnection to a Portal page

Hello:
I have an application running on the client side. When the app startup it must open a file which is at the server side, to be more specific, the file is at KM content of the portal.
I try to read it with URLConnection to copy the file from the server to the client, the app will do it, but "Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL:"
If you copy&paste the url's file directly on the browser (http://host:port/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/ImagenesIM/file.txt) a login popup (look and feel windows) is display. After entering the user and psw the file is open without problem.
Any idea what can I use or how do it ?.
I think that probably I have to move the app to a was directory instead of portal directory.
The app is execute via *.jnlp with a link at a portal page.
Thanks a lot for your time.

Javier,
401 means authentication error, i.e. your application is not authenticated to KM.
What you can do? Actually, it depends. Check current cookies in your application, probably there are SSO coockie or J2EE authentication cookie. You may try to set this cookies in URLConnection (via addHeader). Otherwise you have to supply authentication creadentials to URLConnection (also via addHeader, most probably, via Basic HTTP authentication scheme).

How can i create a simple netweaver portal page that shows text and images?

Hi,
i have a simple question or maybe it's not so simple.
I am completly new to SAP Netweaver 2004s Portal. At the moment i'm trying to understand the struture of the whole thing. I already know how to create roles, worksets and pages and i know how to combine the different elements so a user can acces them.
And now i want to create a simple portal page that shows text and images. Is it possible to create such a simple page with the portal content studio? What iView do i have to use?
(I just want to create a start page with a welcome text on it.)

Marc
Considering that you would any ways go ahead with complex development from this simple start page I recommend create a Web dynpro Iview for your start page (include the Iview in your page).
For putting the contents use Netweaver Developer studio to build a simple start page application and put your static text on that Iview.
Please go through the following log after your NWDS development is over - This will make you comfortable for further challenging work.

Opening a Portal page from UWL item's click

Hi,
I have written a custom UWL connector that connects to 3rd party system to fetch tasks.
This custom connector has been registered with UWL and tasks from this 3rd party system are now appearing in my UWL.
The requirement is to open a Portal page on click of these UWL items.
That is, when user clicks on this custom UWL item, a Portal page should be opened in new window.
I tried setting item's executionURL to following (inside getItems() method of connector) : -
1. https://myportal.com/irj/portal?navigationtarget=roles://portal_content/com.mycompanyPurchaising/com.mycompany.Purchase_Request/com.mycompany.Roles/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purchaseRequest
2. https://myportal.com/irj/portal?navigationtarget=roles://portal_content/com.mycompany.Purchaising/com.mycompany.Purchase_Request/com.mycompany.Roles/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purch_pr/com.mycompany.purchaseRequest&target="_blank"
3. Set Quick link property of corresponding page and then set executionURL as: -
https://myportal.com/irj/portal/purchaserequest
Issue being faced: -
When user clicks on this UWL item, it opens following URL which just displays blank portal page: -
https://myportal.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prteventname/navigate/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.mycompany.layout.PortalLayoutFolder!2fcom.mycompany.layout.DesktopFolder!2fmycompanyDesktop!2fframeworkPages!2fframeworkpage!2fcom.sap.portal.innerpage!2fcom.sap.portal.contentarea?NavigationTarget=ROLES%3A%2F%2Fportal_content%2Fcom.mycompany.Purchaising%2Fcom.mycompany.Purchase_Request%2Fcom.mycompany.iViews%2Fcom.mycompany.purchaseRequest&CurrentWindowId=WID1326775699455&NavMode=1
Any idea what is going wrong here?
I am not able to figure out what & from where its preparing above URL instead of opening the URL that I specified in Connector's executionURL attribute.
Regards,
Amey

Issue was with iView that I was trying to open in DEV portal.
It worked fine in TEST & PROD portals.
Hence, NavigationTarget=<> approach works fine.
