Portal URL Rewrite

I am using portal 10.1.4, and am trying to get my url to display as www.domain.ca. However, it currently displays as: www.domain.ca/portal/page/portal/PageGroup
I am unable to get my rewrite rule to to remove the PageGroup name from the url and leave nothing in it's place.
I have tried to set my URL Rewriterule in portal as:
Search Pattern: /portal/page/portal/PageGroup
Replace Pattern: /
and my apache rule as:
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /portal/page/portal/PageGroup$1 [PT]
However, this setup gives me an error, and the portal pages do not display. What should I put for my rules so that that i can get rid of the extra parts of the url?

Hey Chris,
In this example the name of the page group is "www":
Our rewrite rule is also set up in a virtual host section of the httpd.conf file as well so some of the options may not be required for your set up:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(portal|pls|images).*$
RewriteRule ^(.+) /portal/page/portal/www$1 [PT]
The rewrite condition allows us to ignore the rewrite for certain items in the path. This allows the portal navigator to work. There may be a couple more items that need to be added to the condition because I recently noticed that the help pages dont function properly.
In the portal configuration for the rewrite rule we specify:
Search pattern: /portal/page/portal/www
Replace pattern:
Thats right, the replace pattern is blank.

URL Rewrite Rules in 10.1.4

Hi,
I am having some trouble rewriting the urls, I can't make it work ...
What I want is to change the url:
http://www.mycompany.com/portal/page/portal/portal_sverige/
to
http://www.mycompany.com/sverige
Where "portal_sverige" is the page group.
What I did was:
Configure the properties in the page group:
Search pattern: /portal/page/portal/portal_sweden/
Replace pattern: /sweden/
And I went to enterprise manager, MT, http server, administration, advanced server properties, httpd.conf, and put in the lines:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/sweden/(.*)$/portal/page/portal/portal_sweden/$1 [PT]
However, when I try to use navigator to edit a page in that group, I get:
http://www.mycompany.com/sweden/pagename?_mode=16
Returns:
Object not found. (WWC-50003)
And just typing in www.mycompany.com/sweden returns 404 error instead of the root page as I would have liked.
Any ideas about what to do? I can't really find any information ... is the change made in the MT ? IM ? Do I have to do it in some specific order? Is the syntax wrong?
Appreciate any help, thanks

Rewrite PORTAL URL

Hey ,
I have a Strange Issue here . Our BI Production Landscape Consists of PORTAL and BI- ABAP ( CI + 2 App ) .
The Hostname "bi.ril.com" is on DNS which POints to CI(ABAP) . There is a Web Dispatcher Configured on CI Which is Supposed to Route HTTP Requests to APP Servers for Load Balancing .
Now , as per the LINK http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/5f/7a343cd46acc68e10000000a114084/frameset.htm ,
I have Performed the Mapping of URLs based on the SAP Logon Group and Request are getting ROuted to Application Servers.
The Issue now is , When a HTTP Request goes to an APP Server the URL Generated is Somewhat like biapp##.ril.com which is Not on DNS .
I can Put it on the DNS , but then the URL just wont be that Frindly . I am ready now the host these names on DNS .
The Problem is , I want the CLIENT BROWSER to Display the URL as " bi.ril.com " , even though Internally it should be calling an APP Server .
Is this EVEN Possible ???? I have Gone throught URL Rewriting , but then this feature only Rewrites the Prefixes and not the Entire URL .

Ashish .A. Poojary

Hi,

Do you speak of the URL generated from the web dispatcher to be sent to the app server ?
If yes, I don't get this result on my system and I don't understand how you can get this.
The URL sent to the appserver looks like http://appserver.domain.country/url
The URL seen from the browser looks like https://webdispatcher.domain.country/url

Plumtree and Weblogic Portal Server | URL rewriting incompatibility

Hi All,
I am using Weblogic Portal as the Producer and Plumtree as the consumer for my WSRP portlets. I have enabled Producer URL rewriting. When i invoke an action URL i get a "Mode is not supported in this portlet." error. The template being passed is <blockingActionTemplate>/wsrpconsumer/pt_action?wsrp-navigationalState={wsrp-navigationalState}&wsrp-interactionState={wsrp-interactionState}&wsrp-mode={wsrp-mode}&wsrp-windowState={wsrp-windowState}</blockingActionTemplate>
and the URL generated is a href="/wsrpconsumer/pt_action?wsrp-navigationalState=&wsrp-interactionState=_action%3D%2FnewAction1&wsrp-mode=&wsrp-windowState="
The same portlet works fine when Consumer URL rewrting is enabled.
Plumtree is giving the same error for the portlets at the consumer at http://sunwsrp.dyndns.org/portal/wsrp/wsdl/default. Any help would be highly appreciated
Thanks

Hi, I don't have an answer on this but another more basic question. Our agency is using Plumtree Portal v5. I am assigned to develop a remote portlet. According to what I've read on the web as far back as 2003 Plumtree Portal supports WSRP but I'm getting conflicting answers within our agency. This post seems to indicate that the Plumtree Portal can consume WSRP compliant remote portlets. If that is correct, can you point me to documentation/examples? I've found reference to a Plumtree resource called "WSRP Portlet Consumer" for WSRP--does that still exist? Any help would be appreciated.

Apache Url rewrite for portal URLs

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to write simple URL's for the default portal uRL's
for example
inspite of using default url like "http://myserver:port/portal/server.pt/community/abc_xyz/123/efg_jkl/12345",
if user uses
"http://myserver:port/portal/server.pt/xyz"
It should navigate to same default URL.
Can somebody let me know how this can be achieved.
I know Url rewriting is done through Apache Url rewrites but do not have an idea how apache does it with portal Url's. What configurations need to be done in order to manage portal Url's with apache rewrites.
Thanks
Ajay

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the reply. The link shows how to write the Rewrite rules in apache. I am familier with that. The actual problem is that how can the portal Url's be controlled by apache rewrites. My apache and weblogic are both on the same server instance but after writing the rewrite in httpd.conf file. It does not work out. Just want to know how can i tell apache to handle my portal Url's too.
Is there any specific entry that we need to make for doing this.
Thanks
Ajay

URL Rewriting

Hi,
I got a problem in URL rewriting:
original source:
<script language="JavaScript" src="/javascript/resselect.js"></script>
after rewrite:
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://gate way:89/http://xxx.com/javascript/resselect.js?scriptReferrer=http://xxx.com/"></script>
How can I remove "scriptReferrer=http://xxx.com/"?
Thanks in advance.
Rick.

I had a similar problem (Portal 6.1) and it ended up being a javascript function that was not rewriting properly. I had to add a rule to my default_gateway_ruleset.
The function being called was Select() so the rule I added was this:
<Function type="URL" name="Select" paramPatterns=",y" />
Refer to the portal documentation about "Rules for JavaScript Content" rewriting:
http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6732-10/rewriter.html
Hope that helps you.

Search Engine Friendly URL Rewriting

Hi,
Has anyone done any kind of URL rewriting to convert the big, query ridden portal
URLs to search engine friendly URLs?
eg. Portal URL: http://somedomain/application?event=blah&pageID=blah&blah=blahblahblah
gets converted to
http://somedomain/pageID/page.htm or something like that.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Parag

Filter your recordset based off text values for your table fields ex. field 'model' will have values Honda, Toyota, Suzuki, etc. and field 'color' will have values red, blue, green. etc.
The filtered URL will be www.example.com/?model=Honda&color=red to show all red Hondas in the filtered recordset.
Using .htacces mod_rewrite you can convert the above example to something like www.example.com/red/honda.html

Url rewriting & pagination

I am in the process of learning url rewriting, and with the help of a great book, 'Professional search engine optimization with PHP', i have got as far as rewriting category and product url's into keyword rich ones.
example at http://www.blunique.co.uk/Earrings-C1.html
where i am struggling is rewriting the url when i have the recordset results paginated, (using dreamweaver standard server behavior for repeat region).
Grateful for any advice.

Greetings,
I'll tailgate this similar question; I could use a guide to WLP 81x URLs. What does each parameter mean in file mode (.portal) and stream mode?
Any help here? Tips for understanding URLs would help Anders too.
tnx, curt

BSP URL Rewrite

Dear All,
I have created one controller and URL of the controller is being called from non-SAP interface. While calling from non-SAP interface, it is giving error "BSP URL requires rewrite".
If I call the same URL in web browser from external network, it is working absolutely fine.
I tried using following code also to avoid URL Rewrite in my controller, still getting same error.
RUNTIME->CONSTRUCT_BSP_URL( EXPORTING
IN_APPLICATION = 'ZBSP_EXT'
IN_SUPPRESS_REWRITE = 1 ).
Kindly suggest...
Regards,
Sagar

Hi,
the portal self displays a link for changing the language by the user. If you want to influence the language in your BSP application directly, then use parameter ?sap-sessioncmd=open&sap-language=DE in the URL.

Weblogic.xml: url-rewriting-enabled false

The following heads my weblogic.xml for a WebLogic 9.2 portal web application:
<wls:session-descriptor>
<wls:url-rewriting-enabled>false</wls:url-rewriting-enabled>
</wls:session-descriptor>
<wls:context-root>intranet</wls:context-root>
However, on the first rendering of a session, the URLs still contain the jsessionid=... session identifier.
Is this not the correct setting to disable jsessionid injection? Or just BEA 9.2 bug #2983849299?

Hi,
This is the console, or your app you are talking about? This is the correct parameter to avoid jsessionid injection, but just for your app, not for the admin console. If this is you app, I found it somehow weird that the sessionid is placed in the URL, if this is the console, I do not know if there is a way to avoid it :-(

ADF application - URL rewriting

Hello All,
Has anyone configured URL rewriting in OHS using Apache mod_rewrite ? One of the business requirement for the ADF application we're building is to have user friend URLs like http://hostname/portal/q/myquotes.do instead of default URLs like http://hostname:7777/portal/faces/quote/myquotes.jspx. It would be of great help if you've any useful suggestions. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help.
-Vijay

Weblogic has a module for OHS which takes care of simple requirements of forwarding.
Entry in httpd.conf is something like this (i am using cluster):
<IfModule mod_weblogic.c>
WebLogicCluster 172.23.210.13:7003,172.23.210.22:7005
MatchExpression /console
</IfModule>
mod_rewrite will be no different from normal. As in nothing special for ADF/Weblogic app server.

Supress URL rewriting through gateway for specific URL's ??

I want to know how to supress URL rewriting for some spcific URL's. Currently the property "Rewrite All URL's" is set to true in the gateway profile.
Default ruleset is applied on to the rewriter during installation. Do I need to write a ruleset to achieve this ?? If yes, how to approach onto developing this ruleset.
Please help.
Thanks.

I don't think what you ask is possible, but the reverse is.
Do not select Rewrite All URL's. In my knowledge it really is all and no exceptions possible. BTW The ruleset define what's inside HMTL etc., not which links are to be rewritten.
Solution:
In Admin console:
Service Management -> Gateway-> <your gateway profile> ->Proxies for Domains and Subdomains
Fill this with the domains you want rewritten. All other domains are not rewritten.
Lemme know if this helps.
This site (and the Sun One Portal) needs feedback!

Hi Guru's,
is that possible, visual composer application with an initial value in form of URL-rewriting to start, for example:
http://localhost:50100/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/test~helloworld/testVC?id=11234324
can the value of "id" be taken as an "input" and passed to the VC application that has to be invoked?
thx
hao

IIS 7.5 URL Rewrite: Hit specific page of a web application but should be redirected to another application's page

I have deployed 2 different web application on IIS 7.5 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 but on different port numbers i.e. one application deployed on port no. 1776 and another on 8091. I want to rewrite URL in such a way that if i hit any page of first
application such as default.aspx then it will be redirected to particular page of another application along with some changes in url.
Example: if i access any page from first application like:
http://g2wv126rbsc:1776/sites/main/commercial/commercial-solutions/financing/default1.aspx
then it should redirect to specific page of another application along with some changes in url:
http://g2wv126rbsc:8091/main/commercial/commercial-solutions/financing/default2.aspx
Note: In above mentioned url, also removed "sites".
I tried to create a inbound rule through URL Rewrite module (installed on IIS 7.5) by selecting Action as "Rewrite" but didn't find any success.
I need some examples if anyone has come across same kind of issue.
Thanks in advance.
