Portal sessionId to external app

Hello
I have a page in portal which has the menu of my site, when I click on any of the options in the menu I am redirected to an j2ee app in OC4J, but I need to pass the portal sessionId to this app.
Does anybody know how to do that?
Please help me, I am desperate.
Thanks in advance

Use something like this
<?variable@incontext:link1;.//SERVLET?>
<fo:basic-link show-destination="new" external-destination="url({$link1})" color="blue" text-decoration="underline"><?NAME?></fo:basic-link>
Regards,

Portal sessionId to J2EE App

Hello
I have a page in portal which has the menu of my site, when I click on any of the options in the menu I am redirected to an j2ee app in OC4J, but I need to pass the portal sessionId to this app.
Does anybody know how to do that?

Thanks in advance

A little more detail. Our j2ee is just a war file right now, however we wrap it as an ear to deploy it within the sap app server. We have our own user interface with Struts/velocity which we want to keep. However, we want to add some views which can be deployed within the SAP portal container.
So, I am looking for advice on what kind of project i should be setting up within the developer studio, and how I should deploy this.
Thanks,

Getting External Apps to show up inside the Portal

Hello,
I am able to login a user in an external
app. Is there a way that the app opens up
in the same window(inside the portal would be even better) as the Portal ? Currently, it
pops up in a new window. Can I change the code which builds the external apps list (wishful thinking here)
Sanjay

Sanjay,
We will have the ability to display the first screen of external applications in a future release.

External App published directly

Hi,
I need to publish Yahoo mail to my portal home. I managed to configure it as external app and published it as a link. My question is:
Can an external app be published directly to the portal instead of a link?
Any help is appriciated.

The new URL services in the PDK may allow you to do this. You can find information on these new services on the Portal Page on OTN. Click on the PDK link. Note that the URL services require 3.0.8 of the portal.

URL Provider supplies cookies to External App only once

Fellow PDK'ers,
I am using the URL provider to display a page from an external application (that is, using <authentication>ExternalApp</authentication>).
I am able to display the portlet once -- that is, the portal contacts the provider, the provider uses the portal's "External Application" information to build a URL and call the login page, the login page returns a cookie, the provider sends the cookie back when doing the showPage.
However, the provider never provides that cookie again, whether I refresh the portal page or change to another page and come back. This means that the external app loses the user's session, and presents a login screen in the portlet. Not good!
The PDK article "An Overview of Password Authenticated Applications" says: "Any cookies that are returned in response to the authentication request are saved and sent back to the remote application with all subsequent requests." This is not the behavior I'm seeing.
And by the way, where do I find the documentation on "Shared sessions"? I can't seem to turn it up anywhere.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

I found a document titled "Integrating Password-protected applications with Oracle9iAS Portal" by Chris Broadbent. This has a good content on session sharing.

How to capture keyboard strokes while focus is on an external app. Opened with system exec

Hi to the Forum,
I have an application that runs an external app. Through system exec, while this application is open the user needs to input a 6 digit serial number using the keyboard, I need to capture in parallel that information on my main VI in order to perform some information validations, such as the six digits were entered, the serial number is not repeated etc. I have read other post about the same issue but did not found a practical way to achieve a solution, please help with an example of how to do that as I'm on the final stage of the project.
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
MRDK

Hi MRDK,
You can/have to use Connectivity>>Input Device Control palette functions.
Attached is the simple example.

How to execute a java script from an external app

Just new to Acrobat SDK,
Given that I've started Acrobat from external app,
I can get a JSObject, but how do I get ito execute a script
e.g., found this in doco
     var pp = this.getPrintParams();
     pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic;
     pp.printerName = "Our office printer";
     this.print(pp);

I was able to get it to work by coding directly in VB, but can you expand on the 2nd part, "pass it as a string to run"
So, in VB I have
          jsObj = pdDoc.GetJSObject
I tried
     jsObj = "var pp = this.getPrintParams(); ... "
but that doesn't seem to do anything

AIR app communnicating with External App

I would like to make my AIR app communicate with another
application that's running on the desktop. What are the best ways
to do this?
Ideally I'm looking to call functions inside the AIR app from
a separate program, and vice versa. This is in fact possible using
the ExternalInterface capability, however, this is only available
when the separate application is an ActiveX container (such as the
browser), and thus contains the FlashPlayer ActiveX control within
it. But what if your AS3 application doesn't just run inside the
FlashPlayer but requires the AIR runtime instead? There doesn't
seem to be any way that an external app. can talk to an AIR app the
way it can call functions on the FlashPlayer.
My reasons for needing this are that while AS3 is great,
especially for creating an interactive interface, there are still
some low-level things which must be coded in another language.
Any thoughts that anyone has on this topic would be greatly
appreciated.

Hi Bruce,
In theory, you can do what you want, but it is an indirect
way of achieving it, and there are some performance/functional
issues.
You can make a windows application that is an ActiveX control
container, and put the FlashPlayer control inside it. Handle the
"FlashCall" event in your windows program (this is fired when your
swf calls a custom external function), and then you can use it to
load and call whatever .dll function you want.
In practice, from what I've observed, there are some
limitations. The graphics performance of the FlashPlayer suffers
when embedded this way in a Windows app. Also, if you want to call
into the flashplayer sometimes the function calls fail. Having said
this, my experience is limited to AS2 implementations; maybe things
have improved with AS3.
Anyway, hope this helps. Would be interested to hear your
observations if you should try this route.

Sending spool pdf through XI to external app

we are able to produce the .pdf locally from spool files with no problem.
the problem occurs when we try to pass a pdf to XI for transmission to Filenet.
the XI guys say they can't handle .pdf native format - we have to convert to string an encode in 64bit.
so, we convert the pdf table (which is in TLINE format) to a string and run it through FM 'SCMS_BASE64_ENCODE_STR' to 64 bit encode it.
this does allow us to pass the data stream to XI and XI sends to Filenet, however, the resulting document is not readable by Adobe Acrobat.
has anyone been able to send pdf files through XI to an external app?
thanks alot. points will be awarded.
robert.

thanks.. let me add a little more info..
i'm an abapper. is there anything I can do without the aid of the XI team to get this to work?
they already have a webservice in place that other non-SAP systems use to send their pdf files. The XI team wants us to use the same one.

Each BOE document has a unique ID. Knowing that will allow you to access it via a URL while passing required login credentials as well, if I recall correctly. However, your very best bet is to review the SDK.

How to integration obiee Authentication with external app?

now i need integrate obiee with external app(web application).
one user have 2 roles. one is teacher, others is school admin.
when he login in external app, the first screen show teacher and school amdin. he click teacher login in this system.
after user login in . system set the role into session.
then he want to see obiee dashboard in external app side.
in obiee side, i need do some resources control for this role.
but i how to get this role? i can get the two roles from LDAP server. but i need confirm user login in external app use which role?
i no idea for this .please help me.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
Sounds like your OBIEE apps needs to be able to get the role from the session (I assume database session), which means OBIEE needs to be able to get the same session from the external app. Does the external app set a cookie or something that would identify the session? If so use that cookie in OBIEE to get the session? More than likely need more details of the architecture of you external application!

Open in external app function missing.

It's a huge flaw. In order to open a certain file in an external app i have to select email link. Then email it to myself. Send it. Find it in my inbox. Then copy the link. I wish I could save time by just being ABLE to copy it WITHOUT the email step. It's so frustrating. I just feel like returning the whole gosh darn thing and getting something that actually hassle free.
It's clear though, WD doesn't have much interest in consumer satisfaction. Maybe they are, but I don't see it. My request is this, please add the ability to open a file that the WD app can't open in another external app.
How hard could it be? How long until we can see this update?

Sorry? I'm not sure what you're talking about. The App DOES have "Open In" function. At least in iOS it does, or are you talking about Android? I just opened a PDF using Adobe PDF, an SQLITE file using TextTastic, etc. What file type are you trying?
