Portal roles as Hyper Links

Hi Gurus,
How to make portal roles as hyper link?

venkat

Hi Venkat,
To provide access to a workset or page within a role via URL, just copy the '<b>PCD Location</b>' parameter of the object within the role and use the following syntax:
<i>http://<server>:<port>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://<PCD_LOCATION></i>
You could also use the short URLs to link directly to a page object:
1- Goto '<i>System Administration -> Navigation -> Short URLs</i>'
2- Search for the page object, and find the corresponding short URL to the above mentioned PCD Location
3- Use the short version of the URL '<i>http://<server>:<port>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=navurl://<SHORT_URL _ID></i>'
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Joseph

  • Portal page hyper link

    Hi,
      I want to create a Hyper link ,onclicked on it it will open a URL iview.
    Say my Hyperlink named " Hello Clicked " on my portal Page.,On clicking on it it will open an URL iView.
    Plz share ur thoughts and how to solve it.

    You can call any iView using Navigation Target...
    Check this link for details
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/014421d21d6fade10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
    http://<hostname>:<port>/irj/portal?
        NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/myFolder/myRole/myIview
    After ROLES:// you should provide PCD path of the iView.For using Navigation Target you should add the iView in the Role.
    Or In the iView Tray(top right of the iView below TLN),where you see Personalize..
    You also have Open in New window,which opens the your iView in new window. In the new window
    you can use the URL  from browser

  • Link ECC roles to Portal roles (Portal is using LDAP source for UME)

    Hi all,
    If a user is assigned a certain ECC ABAP role, they should also receive a related portal role.  Our portal is using LDAP.
    If our portal ume source was an ABAP system, I think it would be easy to achieve the ECC to ABAP role linkage.
    We were thinking of developing a UME java webservice and have an ABAP proxy class consume it to allow our abap system to assign the correct portal role, and delete the portal role.
    Any other ideas?

    Rajendra,
    Thx for your reply.  Can you provide any more details as to the design of your solution with the web service?  We are thinking of running a batch job nightly with a some mapping table in ECC to determine what ABAP role should link to the portal group then call the webservice to add the user to the portal group or delete the user from the portal group. 
    A second question is...does SAP Identity Manager offer any solution for this type of requirement?
    Thanks

  • Can anyone help me understanding the links between Launchpad roles, PFCG roles, and portal roles!?!

    Hi experts,
    I am looking at the newer EhP5 and EhP6 functionality for ESS and MSS, specifically the WD ABAP portal applications.  I've turned on all the business functions and services I think our team wants, however I'm confused on how to move forward in using them.  For a little tech info, we are on EhP6 for the backend, but our portal is 7.02.
    My first step was to assign the com.sap.pct.erp.ess.wda.Employee_Self_Service_WDA portal role to our test ESS user group in our sandbox environment.  The ESS user got a new ESS tab in the portal and it's linked to the Launchpad role ESS, Instance MENU.  I'm comfortable with ESS at this point, still need to learn more about customizing the menu for different employee groups without creating additional Launchpad or SAP roles.
    Question 1: Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the Launchpad roll ESS, instance menu linked to the PFCG role SAP_EMPLOYEE_ESS_WDA_2?
    Next, I was looking to see if there was a similar portal role for MSS, but it seems I can't find one.  I implemented the MSS Addon 1.0 for ABAP and the portal and got a new MSS portal addon role, but it doesn't seem to be connected to any MSS Launchpad role.
    Question 2: Is there a portal role to assign to users/groups that is linked to one of the MSS Launchpad roles? If yes, what business function or service is it a part of?
    I'd like to use of the existing MSS Launchpad role to test some of the new portal functionality, but I'm not sure how to do it.
    Question 3: How is a Launchpad role assigned to a SAP role in PFCG?  Anyone have some documentation they can point me too?
    Kind regards,
    Garrett Meredith

    Thank you Samuli, this was very helpful in connecting many of the pieces.
    For now I have a very good understanding of how the new ESS is controlled and modified.
    It appears that FPM_LAUNCHPAD_UIBB could be used to develop a similar component to call a custom launchpad role for MSS containing a customized list of WDA applications.
    Is a MSS Launchpad a good way to pursue since we use a SAP enterprise portal?
    I found a PAOC_MSS package containing other MSS embedded packages.
    Could I use one of the embedded packages in there and by creating a Component configuration in the FPM_LAUNCHPAD_UIBB for one of the MSS WD applications?
    Based on the documentation link above, PFCG roles are for NWBC HTML or Desktop versions.
    Kind regards,
    Garrett

  • How to Create a hyper link iview in portal

    Hi Guys,
    Can any one help us to create hyper link url iviews ( I want to open a iview when click on the link of another iview )
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Its very easy.
    Step1) Go to content admin -> pcd content ->  Create a folder in pcd content.
    In that folder create an iview. you will get so many iview templates -> select your desired template iview.
    (If you still confused, search in the sdn for creating an iview in pcd content).
    After creating that iview, open the same iview as object. check the quick link property. intially it will be blank.  set the quick link property as iview1(as an example).
    Step2) go to content admin->km content and to go to ur desired folder, say documents.
    Create a folder abc and  inthat create an external link iview1.  give the url as /irj/portal/iview1.
    Step3) create a KM Navigational iview(iview2) and open as object. set the property 'path to document' as /documents/abc.
    Preview that iview2 . you will get an hyper link iview1. on clickink that iview1 details will display.
    Search in the SDN for creating KM navigational iview or any other iview.
    Hope that helps.

  • J2EE roles vs Portal roles vs ABAP roles

    (I also posted this on portal implementation, but i hope i receive more reactions here )
    Dear all,
    I have a question about the information on the following link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/4c/6c0f40763f1e07e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
    It says the following:
    "These functions are intended to assign users and their assigned portal roles a corresponding role in the SAP System. This corresponding role (authorization role) contains the authorizations needed to execute certain functions from the portal."
    1. These "...certain functions..." they talk about, can someome give an example of these functions?
    2. Is it possible for example to create a role in the portal that gives a user authorisation for starting transaction SE80 in the backend system? Without making the role in the backend first and uploading it to the portal.
    3. It's also possible to upload ABAP roles to the portal. Is the main reason for this that users can see their SAP menu (or part of it) in the portal? Or does this have other advantages too?
    4. I'm very confused about the relation between J2EE roles, portal roles and ABAP roles. Is it possible to manage the roles for a user in one place, without having to do certain actions in the portal AND the backend system?
    From what I've read on help.sap.com, you always need to do certain actions in both places.
    A possible approach is the following (from what i know): Creation of roles in the R/3 system, without assigning to users. From a webdynpro application, a user can then be created and roles can be assigned: portal roles (via some API) and R/3 roles (via BAPIs).
    I hope someone can give a bit information on this issue. I've done alot of reading on help.sap.com, but it's still an abstract issue for me.
    Kind regards,
    Joren

    Hi Jorem
    Re: point 3. I don't build portal roles through this mechanism as I don't believe in replicating the SAP easy access menu inside the portal. If there are some specific functions (transactions) that I want to run inside the portal, then I might use this mechanism to build the iViews once. I would rather start an iView that runs transaction SMEN and let the user see their regular easy access menu.
    Please note that the speed of executing transactions in the portal isn't a function of the portal, but the fact that you are using ITS, for example, to web enable the transaction...
    Re: point 4. Groups are a UME concept. They have nothign to do with ABAP groups. They can be created directly in UME through user administration functions, or they can be created in the LDAP and then they are visible in the portal. If the UME points to an ABAP system, then the ABAP roles are autoamtcially visible as UME groups. Groups created in the UME need to have the members assigned through user admin functions of the Java engine. Groups stored in LDAP are maintained using LDAP admin tools. There are upload utilities that allow you to maintain LDAP users and groups through text files. Google LDIF for more details.
    Roles on the portal need to be built in the portal contetn directory. As Michael mentioned, this can be automated by the use of the role upload function built into the portal.

  • Assigning Portal Roles

    Hi All,
    We have installed EP 7.0. The problem we are facing is : The "Portal Content" folder is not displayed under the "Browse Category" of content administration & system administration.
    Why is it so? Do we need to add some other portal Roles to the user? If so.., which role we should add?
    Also we are trying to add the portal role ID
    " com.sap.pct.pdk.JavaDeveloper". But when we search for this role , we could not found this role. Whether the role has been renamed?
    Kindly provide your suggestion on the above queries.

    HI SDNs

My requirement is as follows.I have created xml form by using xml template and i displayed this xml form by using Km document iview.  I need tochange the hyper link color in the xml form content. I dont want to go for manual process by editing the xml form. because i have several hundreds of xml forms.

    Hi Ramana,
    The most convenient way to change the hyper links is by using the Theme Editor. Go to System Administration --> Portal Display --> Select Theme --> Component-Specific Styles --> Links --> Function/Result Link.
    Hope this helps.

  • Pass parameter to all iViews in a portal role

    Hi,
    we have a portal role containing several iViews for ABAP Web Dynpro applications. Now we want to assign the parameter sap-wd-lightspeed=X to all these applications. Is it possible to do this in the portal application and can the customer set it off if they want to?
    One idea is to define a dummy iView with this parameter set in property Application Parameters, and define all iViews as delta-links of this dummy iView. But we have some iViews which need their one Application Parameters.
    Thanks & regards,
    Carlo

    Hi Bies,
    I hope you are calling the Webdynpro ABAP applications using AppIntegrator iview (com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.WebDynpro).
    Application Name : ABAP application
    Application Parameters:sap-wd-lightspeed=X
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • ABAP roles v/s Portal Roles

    Hi All,
    Currently I was going through  EP security docs where I came across this
    "An important difference between ABAP roles and Portal roles is that in the portal,no authorizations are defined for the backend application itself. This must still be
    done within the backend applications (for example, mySAP ERP)."
    Can somebody plz explain me this..
    Would also like to know more difference  between ECC and EP security,
    Thanks,
    Ajit

    Hi Ajit,
    I have been looking into this for some time as well, but am still not sure of some things myself nor which scenarios fit best to which security aspects.
    My understanding is that it depends on how the portal is connecting to the backend.
    If the portal user is the backend user, then the portal role is just a permission to click on things in the portal. The portal roles are mapped to the backend roles in the ABAP system (so you can, and need to, define what that portal role can infact do when the portal user "clicks" in the backend, using the backend roles of the same backend user context).
    If the portal user is not the backend user (i.e. it is a system service for generic access to the backend), then you should restrict the backend access to the bare minimum of that service and control the security in the portal application (the calling application) as the backend user context is not the same.
    So it is a "design" answer as well...
    There are a few good posts about this if you use the search. If you find a good one, then please link it here so that others who use the search and follow up on their questions can use it as well.
    At the top of the forum, there is a sticky thread on FAQs and other usefull discussions. Sadly, portal security does not have any links yet, so if you find a good one then let me know.
    Cheers,
    Julius

  • Customizing availability of Portal Roles/TABs (ESS)

    Hello Portal Knowledgeable ones,
    I am running EP 6.0 SP13.
    We will be implementing many of the Standard HR ESS functions.  We desire to purposefully limit the hours of the day when these capabilities are available to users--EVEN THOUGH THE PORTAL IS UP.  As an example, viewing paystubs is available 24x7, whereas other update-type ESS functions (update absences) will not be available from 1am to 5am each day.  We want to limit this access because our payroll processing occurs during this window, and we do not want updates to occur during it.
    Here is my question:
    For the standard ESS web dynpro portal functions, how do we implement a time-of-day switch such that access to certain iViews is prohibited. 
    The end user experience needs to be as follows: 
    If time is between 1am - 5am and user clicks on updating ESS item in the portal, the system displays an alternative iView indicating that the system is down for maintenance.
    General advice would be welcome as well.  It seems that the portal displays tabs/content solely based on your pre-assigned roles.  How do you turn-off assigned portal roles dynamically?
    Thank you for any insights!
    Kevin

    Found a solution.  All users are assigned to groups.  Groups are then linked to roles.  To change content for user, update the group to role link using UMFactory inside a portal application.

  • Modify the default "No portal roles are assigned..." message iView

    Hi,
    When a user with no roles assigned is trying to access the EP6 SP9 portal, he/she is facing a warning message:
    "No portal roles are assigned for this user.If this problem persists, contact your system administrator."
    accompanied by a 'log off' link.
    Is it somehow possible to change the look and feel and/or behaviour of this message?
    For instance, we would like the message appearance to be more 'friendly' and with a link where they can find further assistance, etc.
    With best regards,
    Robin

    The window for logoff is part of the masterhead. So i think you can modify the masterhead pasr file for that.
    Its location is at...
    usr/sap/<instance>/JC00/J2EE/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/root/web-inf/deployment/pcd.
    In this folder you can find the com.sap.portal.masterhead.par.bak
    this file can be imported to your developer studio and can be editted and uploaded.
    hope this helps
    Cheers

    Hi,
    For the configuration hyperlink in RWB, it is taking only first 8 chars as pw.
