Portal & Webi iView Question

Hi Experts,
Are there predefined iViews (templates) available for Webi documents/reports?
If yes, how do I obtain the iviews, and could you please provide a step-by-step on how to view Webi reports on the Portal?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi ,
Yes there are predefined iViews for WebI. you can use Url iviews for this.
you need to defind Source Url and Url parameters.

Portal Transaction iView Button disabled

Hello expert,
I wish know why the button on menu of Pop-Up Portal are disabled.
I created a SAP Portal Transaction iView:
Image:
http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/7001/helpsdn.jpg
And the button NEW WINDOW is disabled, but if I put on the field where we type transaction: /ose37
then, a new window will open because I used /o
My question is: Why this button - NEW WINDOW is disabled? How can I enable this?
thanks.

The solution for other versions is explained in the same note. However the note says that the procedure is NOT recommended and NOT supported by SAP.
You will need to editi the WinGuiRenderLayer.properties and set -wp=false in the SSDCommandTemplate
For NW04 realease and above the WinGuiRenderLayer.properties can be found at:
../usr/sap/< SID>/<InstID>/j2ee/cluster/server< server#> /apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/web-inf/portal/portalapps/com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap/property/transaction
(Make these changes in all the server nodes. A restart of the portal might be required after making these changes.)
Please note that if you change anything in this property file, it will be overwritten if a new version of application com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.par is delivered or when a new SP is applied.
It is also recommended to keep the original archive com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.par in a temporary folder and redeploy it if you encounter any side effects.

Portal Transaction iView not opening in browser but its open in R/3 screen

Hi
I have 2 senario.
First Scenario:
I login only into the portal and not login into R/3. I could access the portal transaction iview in the new broser portal window. And this is the expected behaviour.
second senario
I login into Portal as well as R/3 through SAP logon Pad (SAP GUI).
Now if I access Transaction Iview through portal , this transaction Iview is opened in R/3 side window not in portal browser window .And also same time we can see only new blank portal window iopen n portal side.
My question is that whichever transaction iView we access through portal we want to see that transaction iView in portal browser window like in first senario not in R/3 window.
Please help me to resolve this problem
Regards
Ruturaj

Hi Shanti

Difference between "Favorites"- & "Portal Favorites"-iView

Hi SDN
Can anybody tell me the difference between the km-iView "Favorites" and "Portal Favorites"?
Also, when I enable the "Favorites"-iView a caption between the Favorites-entries and the Tray is added. How can I remove this?
And: The layout of the Favorites-iView-entries is different from those of the Portal-Favorites-iView-entries (the space between the list-dot and the text). It seems not to be affected the same way by the Complex Items -> Tree settings in Theme Editor.
Thanks in advance
Michael

As I found out the LayoutSet-Setting is responsible for the display.
In Favorites-iView the default LayoutSet was LinkListExplorer. After I changed it to PortalFavoritesExplorer the space between dot-and-text vanished along with the "Favorites"-caption - but sadly the "Organize Entries" Link on the bottom disappeared, too...
I think I have to play around a bit with LayoutSets
Main parts of the question already answered...
What still remains is the question about the acutal difference between these iViews.

BEx Web iView displays graph only after page Refresh

Dear Friends,
I am facing problem in BEx Web application iView.
I am using the SAP Standard BEx Web iView template to call BI Report by passing parameter as below
com.sap.ip.bi.bex?TEMPLATE=ZSD1_WR_TREND_HY
URL is Link[http://<hostname>:52000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?TEMPLATE=ZSD1_WR_TREND_HY]
The report got 2 graphical representations along with a table data.
Problem is the graphs displays data representation only after refreshing the page.
Infact the problem exists in production system and works fine in Development system.
When I checked from portal prospective I found no difference.
Can anybody help on this.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
find the iview from the content administration menu in portal.
If you are using a standard role open the role
and trace the pages until you find the iview containing the template.
Open the iview and check the parameter Content-BW report.
At the field BEx Web Application Query String go to and and check the template name.
Go to web application designer and open the above template.
Change the parameters from the post above and save the web template as zXXXXX.
Change the web template at iview as well.
What i figured out is that bex handler has a problem creating an array when you are using same session for more than one charts.
When you use seperate sessions for each chart there is no need for array creation and works just fine.
*If you are using best practices go to Content Provided by SAP->Specialist->Best Practices and find the role and iview you are using.
It should work..

Xcelsius/Webi iView

All,
Issue 1
I am looking to view a BOBJ Webi Reports, Xcelsius Dashboards based on BI service and BW connection within the Portal iView, Based on the documentation available I have not been able to create a URL, KM Navigational or find a standard Xcelsius/ Webi iView that would display a BOBJ Xcelcius/Webi Report directly onto the portal.
Issue 2
I have been successful creating a KM Navigational iView that displays the folder structure as viewed within the info view. However all the folders showup in the KM Navigational iView even though when I login to infoview only 2 folders are assigned to my users and only 2 folders showup in the infoview.
Any help would be appreciated.

Producer Portal - User data source is BI ABAP Backend
Consumer POrtal - User data source is LDAP
I have tested SSO both ways and it works:
Logged in to Consumer -> switched URL to producer --> switched back to consumer
Still looking at the default trace it looks like some how the end user is not recognized during the switch.
Any help/direction is much appreciated.
Thanks
Shabna

Dao,
Thanks for taking the time.
Versions:
Producer BI portal - NW 7.0 EHP1 SP6 (BI_JAVA SP8 Hotfix 12)
Consumer Portal - NW 7.0 EHP1 SP7 (BI_JAVA SP8 Hotfix 12)
BIUSER exists on both:
Producer - BIUSER is an ABAP user in the BI Backend
Consumer - BIUSER is the SAMAccount Name of AD account BISUER@<company.com>
SSO works both ways.
I checked the thread you mentioned. Though the error in the default trace is the same, I am using FQDNs everywhere and the correct P4 ports. I am able to telnet using the P4 ports between the two portals. The FP connection tests also work.
Thanks
Shabna

Can not open file download prompt in portal web app.

Hi folks,
I am migrating existing Struts app into portal web app and currently stuck on the following problem.
In existing app, Struts action calls servlet that generates excel file, sets response headers:
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=thename.csv");
that brings up "file download" prompt window.
In portal app, the same code writes excel file content into browser window instead of the prompt.
Has anyone had to deal with similar problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Alex.
Version of portal used is 8.1 SP5
Struts - 1.1

Problem is resolved. For those who might be interested - specifying redirect=true on forward to servlet did the trick.

Can anybody suggest a means of making SOAP Web Service calls from an 8.1.7.4 database ?I think you'll be very lucky to find anyone here who still has access to a version of Oracle that is that old.... I mean... that's like what? 15 years old at least? I'm surprised you've still got hardware that can run that.
It would probably help if you could post what code you've got and explain which function(s) it's complaining about, as I doubt people will want to guess.

Concurrent access to portal web service

We have developed a Portal Web Service, which has Web methods that return array of Objects. The Web methods uses ArrayList as DataStructure. When we try to access the Web Service concurrently, we get incorrect data (unpredictable) for the same Web method. The outcome can be result of ArrayList not being Thread-Safe. Is there some other reason for the web method to behave in this manner? Is there some setting/property which can be set in the portalapp.xml, at the Application level or service level, to make Web application use different instances of ArrayList for seperate Web calls?
Thanks in advance

Kalpesh

Hi,
I think Portal Web Services use JAX-RPC API Which does not directly support ArrayList.Just do a check up on that.
If that is indeed the case,then refer to
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/JAXRPC4.html
How ever you can use enterprise beans for encapsulating data
Please refer to the below links:

Portal Activity iview error

Hi Experts,
I am not getting the actual output when i trigerred Portal Activity iview......
For ex: If I am looking for Number of logged in users .....it always shows Zero.......
Even for the number of entries made in iview..getting the same value zero.......
Please throw some clue on this issue.
Higher points rewarded for the valuable inputs
Thanks in Advance,
Dharani

Hi Dharani,
What version are you working in? There were significant changes around SP15 in 2004.
Why you may not see data:
Data collection service is off
Data aggregation application is not installed or running
You have selected a period of time that has not been aggregated (like you want all logins for 10-noon today, with hourly interval, but this period has not completed. You will see zero.
Start by checking the database tables starting with WCR_ and see if there is in fact data.
Hope this helps.

How to use servlets in portal web application in Weblogic Portal 4.0

We are developing a Portal Web application using Weblogic Portal 4.0 where in we
have the following scenario. one JSP in webflow of a portlet calls the PipeLine
which does some processing and calls the servlet which is having the typical download
functionality. The servlet is supposed to read the data from the pipeline session
and create a CSV String that is dumped to the client browser. The problem is even
we are doing response.setContentType("application/save") in the servlet it is
still displaying the content as html in the portlet. I guess since all our request
are send to the webflow contolling servlet and it is setting the content type
and hence our servlet is not working. How do I solve this problem? Thanks Yogesh

Hi Renu
Please go through the SAP Content Management here you find the documents related to Wab page Compoer and knowledge mangement. Also search for article / blog for more details.

Changing Default SMTP port in SAP Portal/Web AS java 6.40

Hi all,
We are configuring notification service in SAP Portal 6.0 with SPS 15. The SMTP server not using 25 port which is default for SMTP. when the server is trying to send notification it is pointing to IP address and 25 port. HOw can I change the default port to custom defined port in Portal/Web AS Java.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Kishore.

Hi,
may be that Im a little bit to late, but for the next one who has the same problem the solution could be interesting.
You can change the default smpt port on Web AS Java in the server parameters of the java virtual maschine.
Open the SAP J2EE Config-Tool. Goto cluster-data | instance_<instance-id> | server_<server-id>. In the tab General insert unter Java parameters the line
-Dmail.smtp.port=<port> where <port> ist the port number of your smtp server.
Testet with SAP NetWeaver Portals / SAP NW 04s and SUN Java-VM but should also work with SAP NW 04.
Greetings
Jens
