Putting "Help" for an iView

Hi,
I am creating few iViews from a PAR project and I want to use standard "Help" provision functionality available for an iView.
Lets say I have OneJspPage.jsp in Pagelet folder and I create an iView out of it.
Now I have another iView in same Pagelet folder (say TwoJspPage.jsp).
What should I enter in URL to Help Topic property of iView TwoJspPage, if want to use iView OneJspPage as a help text??
Thanks and regards,
Amey Mogare

Amey,
Going back to what you previously intended to do (using JSPs ) you could use the url of the component within the par. For eg in the URL to Help Topic property of iView2(jsp2) use the following url
http://host:port/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/<projectname>.<componentname1>
Here you would have to make use of the absolute url and not the relative one. The help property of the iVIew does not make use of the relative URL.
If you want to use an html then you can store it in the KM(under documents) instead and the URL to the Help Topic property would be something like this
http://host:port/irj/go/km/docs/documents/abc.html
However, if you want to store the html in a par file, you would be able to get the url by going to sys admin->support->Portal Runtime->Browse Deployment->Portalapps-><PARname>... and launch the html(or image).
However, I would suggest you to stick with either approach 1 or 2 listed above instead of using my last suggestion.
Regards,
Prathamesh

API for getting iView name, type, tCode

Hi
I am trying to figure out if there is a way in my program to get iView properties: the iView type (e.g. transaction, Web Dynpro, etc), then if it's a transaction iView to get the tCode for that iView.
I have seen document that tells me I can get the list of iViews in a given PCD location, and I think you can get the properties I mentioned above as such:
// id is the full path of the iView
public void getProperties(IPortalComponentRequest request , String id) throws Exception{
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, request.getUser());
env.put(Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, PcmConstants.ASPECT_SEMANTICS);
InitialContext iCtx = null;
try {
iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
IiView result = (IiView) iCtx.lookup(id);
result.getAttribute("????");
result.getAttribute("????");
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new Exception (e);
Am I in the right direction?
I don't know what are the names of those attributes I need? - I cannot find them in any Java docs or forum?
I also looked at com.sap.portal.pcm.attributes.IAttriView but that does not appear to have the suitable attributes that I am looking for?
Please help.
Kind regards,
Sharath

F4 help for a single field in interactive form

Hi Experts,
I am working in HRAS process.I created a Form Scenario and an Adobe Form. I linked my interactive form in portal using standard Start Processes iView . Now I have to create a value help(F4 help) for 'STATE' field based on 'COUNTRY' field value in adobe form. I filled the Input value Help in the corresponding Form Scenario field. But in portal the adobe form shows the field as a single field only.
How I can I attach the manual F4 help to 'COUNTRY' field?
The how to vary the F4 help values in 'STATE' fied based on 'COUNTRY' field?
Do I need to code in Java script for this?
Please provide some inputs with code sample
Thanks in advance,

Lek,
Check Nikhil's reply in this [thread|Re: Reg: value help from BADI is not displayed in the HCm form;. It should probably help you.

F4 HELP for standard field..

i want to put F4 help for standard field FERTH in mm01 and mm02 ...
is there any way to put F4 help for this field..

try this
1. First go to SE11 and create your own search help( if you dont know how to create a search help please feel free to ask me, it is very easy).
2. Now in your module pool program program go to the layout of your screen.
3. Now when you see the attributes of this field in the Dict tab you will find the field Search Help. Now here you can specify the name of the search help you created in SE11.
There is also another mehtod to create the dynamic search help. eg:- in a posted document data get the Document nos related to that company code.
The sample code is like this:-
First of all declare the module below in the flow logic of your screen then create it in your main program.
You declare the module in the PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD TXT_DOCNO MODULE VALUE_BELNR.
You also need to create an internal table where you wil store results of the select query fired below in the module.
here you will get a F4 help on the filed Document Number(TXT_DOCNO) based on the field Company code (TXT_CODCO)
MODULE VALUE_BELNR INPUT.
progname = sy-repid.
dynnum = sy-dynnr.
CLEAR: field_value, dynpro_values.
field_value-fieldname = 'TXT_CODCO'.
APPEND field_value TO dynpro_values.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
EXPORTING
tabname = 'BKPF'
fieldname = 'BUKRS'
dynpprog = progname
dynpnr = dynnum
dynprofield = 'TXT_CODCO'.
CALL FUNCTION 'DYNP_VALUES_READ'
EXPORTING
dyname = progname
dynumb = dynnum
translate_to_upper = 'X'
TABLES
dynpfields = dynpro_values.
READ TABLE dynpro_values INDEX 1 INTO field_value.
SELECT BUKRS BELNR
FROM BKPF
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_doc1
WHERE BUKRS = field_value-fieldvalue.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
EXPORTING
retfield = 'BELNR'
dynpprog = progname
dynpnr = dynnum
dynprofield = 'TXT_BELNR'
value_org = 'S'

value_tab = it_doc1.
ENDMODULE. " VALUE_BELNR INPUT

Helps for WLP9.2 in a cluster: deploy errors, propagation errors

I wrote a document for our portal project's production support that details how to fix several recuring problems with WLP9.2 (GA) in cluster. I'm sharing this with the community as a help.
Email me if you'd like updates or have additional scenarios / fixes or you'd like the word doc version.
Curt Smith, Atlanta WLP consultant, [email protected], put HELP WLP as a part of the subject please.
1     WLP 9.2 Environment
The cluster environment where these symptoms are frequently seen is described by the following:
1.     Solaris 9 on 4 cpu sparc boxes. 16Gb Ram. The VM is given ?Xmx1034m.
2.     Bea private patch: RSGT, fixed cluster deployments.
3.     Bea private patch: BG74, fixed session affinity, changed the session tracking cookie name back to the standard name: JSESSIONID.
4.     IBM UDB (DB2) using the Bea DB2 driver. FYI: the problems described below I don?t feel have any relationship to the DB used for a portal.
2     Common problems and their fixes
2.1     Failed deploy (Install) of a new portal application via the cluster console.
Problem symptoms:
After clicking Finish (or) Commit the console displays that there where errors. All errors require this procedure.
Fix steps:
1.     Shut down the whole cluster. Using Bea?s shutdown script takes too long, or doesn?t work if the Admin is down or hung.
a.     Find the PID to kill: lsof ?C | grep <listen port number>
b.     kill <pid>
c.     Run kill again and if the pid is still running then do: kill -9 <pid>
2.     Admin server:
a.     Remove file: <domain>/config/config.lok
b.     Edit file: <domain>/config/config.xml
c.     Remove all elements of: <app-deployment> ? </app-deployment>
d.     Start the Admin server
e.     Make sure it comes up in the running state. Use the console: servers ? admin ? control - resume if needed.
3.     Both Managed servers:
a.     cd <domain>/config
b.     rm ?rf *
This forces the re-down load of the cleaned up config.xml.
c.     cd <domain>/servers/<managed_name>
d.     rm ?rf tmp cache stage data
This cleans up stale or jammed sideways deploys. Be sure to delete all three directorys: tmp, cache, stage and data.
e.     Start each managed server.
f.     Make sure the managed instance comes up in the running state and not admin. Go to server-<instance>-control-Resume to set the run state to running.
You can now use the console to Install your applications.
2.2     The portal throws framework / container exceptions on one managed instance.
Problem symptoms:
If you see exceptions from the classloader re a framework class not found, serialization failure or error etc. In general the symptom is that the container is not stable, running correctly, not making sense or your application works on one managed instance but not on the other.
Fix steps:
1.     Shut down the problem managed instance. Using Bea?s shutdown script takes too long, or doesn?t work if the Admin is down or hung.
a.     Find the PID to kill: lsof ?C | grep <listen port number>
b.     kill <pid>
c.     Run kill again and if the pid is still running then do: kill -9 <pid>
2.     Perform these clean up steps on one or both managed instances:
a.     cd <domain>/config
b.     rm ?rf *
This forces the re-down load of the cleaned up config.xml.
c.     cd <domain>/servers/<managed_name>
d.     rm ?rf tmp cache stage data
This cleans up stale or jammed sideways deploys. Be sure to delete all three directorys: tmp, cache, stage and data.
e.     Start each managed server.
f.     Make sure the managed instance comes up in the running state and not admin. Go to server-<instance>-control-Resume to set the run state to running.
3.     The libraries and applications should auto deploy as the managed instance comes up. Once the managed instance goes into the running state, or you Resume into the running state. Your application should be accessible. Sometimes it takes a few seconds after going into the running state for all applications to be instantiated.
2.3     Content propagation fails on the commit step.
Problem symptoms:
In the log of the managed instance you specified in the propagation ant script you?ll see exceptions regarding not being able to create or instantiate a dynamic delegated role.
There is an underlying bug / robustness issue with WLP9.2 (GA) where periodically you can?t create delegated roles either with the PortalAdmin or via the propagation utility.
Important issue:
This procedure was supplied by Bea which will remove from the internal LDAP and the portal DB your custom / created roles. This will leave your cluster in the new installation state with just the default users and roles: weblogic and portaladmin. The implications are that you?ll have to boot your cluster with console user: weblogic / weblogic. You can then add back your secure console user/password but you?ll have to do this over and over as propagations fail. The observed failure rate is once every 2-3 weeks if you do propagations daily.
Note:
The following assumes that you left the default console user weblogic password to be the default password of: weblogic. The following procedure deletes the local LDAP but leaves the rows in the DB.users table including the SHA-1 hashed passwords. The following procedure should still work if you changed the password for weblogic, but it probably won?t work if you try to substitute your secure console user/pw because there will be no delegated authorization roles mapping to your custom console user. You might experiment with this scenario.
Fix steps:
1.     Shut down the whole cluster. Using Bea?s shutdown script takes too long, or doesn?t work if the Admin is down or hung.
a.     Find the PID to kill: lsof ?C | grep <listen port number>
b.     kill <pid>
c.     Run kill again and if the pid is still running then do: kill -9 <pid>
2.     Admin server:
a.     Remove directory: <domain>/servers/AdminServer/data/ldap
b.     Run this SQL script after you edit it for your schema:
delete from yourschema.P13N_DELEGATED_HIERARCHY;
delete from yourschema.P13N_ENTITLEMENT_POLICY;
delete from yourschema.P13N_ENTITLEMENT_RESOURCE;
delete from yourschema.P13N_ENTITLEMENT_ROLE;
delete from yourschema.P13N_ENTITLEMENT_APPLICATION;
commit;
c.     Start the Admin server
d.     Make sure it comes up in the running state. Use the console: servers ? admin ? control - resume if needed.
3.     Both Managed servers:
a.     cd <domain>/servers/<managed_name>
b.     rm ?rf data
This forces the re-down load of the LDAP directory.
c.     Start each managed server.
d.     Make sure the managed instance comes up in the running state and not admin. Go to server-<instance>-control-Resume to set the run state to running.
2.4     The enterprise portal DB fails and needs to be restored OR switch DB instances
Restoring a portal DB or switching existing DBs are similar scenarios. The issues that you?ll face with WLP9.2 since it now uses a JDBCauthenticator to authenticate and authorize the console / boot user you need to first be able to connect to the DB before the admin and managed instances can boot. If you haven?t properly encrypted the DB user?s password in the <domain>/config/jdbc/*.xml files, then you?ll not be able to boot the admin server since you won?t be able to create a JDBC connection to the DB. The boot messages are not clear as to what the failure is.
You?ll need to know an Admin role user and password that?s in the DB you?re wanting to connect to, to put into boot.properties and on the managed instances in their boot.properties or startManaged scripts. Don?t forget that the managed instances have local credentials which is new for 9.2. They are in the startManaged script in clear text or a local boot.properties.
Note:
The passwords in the DB are SHA-1 hashed and there is no SHA-1 hash generator tool so you can?t change a password via SQL, but you can move the password from one DB to another. This is possible because the domain encryption salt is not used to generate the SHA-1 string. As it turns out, the SHA-1 string is compatible with all 9.2 cluster domains. IE the domain DES3 salt has nothing to do with password verification. The same password SHA-1 string taken from different domains or even same domain but different users will be different, this is just a randomization put into the algorithm yet every domain will be able to validate the given password against the DB?s SHA-1 string. Because of this, I?ve not had any problem moving DB instances between clusters, especially if I?ve given up on security and use weblogic/weblogic as the console user and this user / pw is in every DB.
Steps:
The assumption for restoring a DB is that the DB has been restored but it?s an older version and doesn?t have the console user/pw that is in boot.properties. At this point swaping a DB is the same as restoring an old version of the portal DB.
1.     Edit the console user and password as clear text into: <domain>/servers/AdminServers/security/boot.properties
This is where you may give in and use weblogic/weblogic.
2.     Set the correct DB access password encryption in the jdbc/*.xml files.
a.     cd <domain>/bin
b.     . ./setDomainEnv.sh or if you?re on windows just run: setDomainEnv.cmd
c.     java weblogic.security.Encrypt <the_db_password>
d.     Edit the returned string into every <domain>/config/jdbc/*.xml
e.     Make sure the *.xml files point to the correct DB host, port, schema, DB name, DB user.
3.     Start the Admin server. I should come up. If it doesn?t it has to be not being able to create a connection to the DB, which depends on the *.xml having the correct user and DES-3 encrypted password.
4.     Edit the new console user/password on the managed instance bin/startManaged script or the local boot.properties.
5.     Start the managed instances.
2.5     Install patches on a host that does not have internet access
The short description is to run smart update on a host that does have internet access. Fetch out of the <domain>/utils/bsu/cache_dir     directory the downloaded patch jar and xml. Manually apply the patch to your non-internet accessible hosts.

F4 help for custom table field - to be used when populating data thru SM30

Hi,
I have a custom table with 5 fields - say A, B, C, D and E. While populating data to the table through SM30, I need to create a F4 help for the field C. A custom function module needs to be used.
I have created a module for the same in the event PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST of the function group of the table.
But the F4 for field C depends on the values put in fields A and B.
I am not able to get the values of fields A and B from within the module PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
Please help me to create the F4 help.

WebDynpro proxy page with Webdynpro iView and SAP Gui for html iView

Hello,
I have a requirement to have a page that has at the top of it a webdynpro for java iView screen with several links that when pressed pop-up various data pulled from the back-end. This part is fine and presents no problem. Beneath this the requirement calls for a SAP Gui for HTML iView to be displayed. Which is no problem either. The problem occurs when one of the links in the java webdynpro application at the top of the screen is pressed it causes the SAP Gui for HTML portion to refresh and come back to the beginning. So for example you first navigate to this screen and you go into the sap gui for html portion and drill into 2 or 3 screens in the sap gui for html transaction. If you then press one of the webdynpro links the sap gui for html (which is a separate iView) refreshes and you are taken back to the initial screen. This only occurs when using a web dynpro proxy page. If I use a standard page the SAP Gi for html does not refresh. Unfortunately there are other things not mentioned here that require us to use the webdynpro proxy page.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Bert

Use System admin -> System Config and find your system in the PCD (under portal content). Right click and open -> permissions. Find a user or group or role and give it the end user permission. I'd suggest the group Everyone.
Cheers

Search Help for a Field of a Table Control

I have designed a screen using 'Table Control' with fields like Date, BoxNo,Quantity etc. Kindly tell me how to go about providing a search help for the field 'BoxNo' of this table control so that the user is not required to scroll down the entire table/list for selecting a particular box no.
Thanx in advance,
Alok.

When you go to screen painer, in screen painter attributes window, there is an atribute called search help, fill it.
Another way is, after PAI put:
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD box_no MODULE f1_help_box_no.
And gives logic in that module using FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST.
Regards.

Search help for a field in ztable

Good day everyone!
I want to create a search help for a field. I have a field 'country' in my Ztable. Now I want to create a search help for that field so that they appear in the SM30 transaction while entering the data into the table. How can I do that?
thanks.

First of all if the field is country and you want to display all the countries avaiable in SAP in the search help then yuo dont need to create search help for that. For that field put the data element LAND1. The F4 help will automatically appear in SM30 and when you press F4 all the countries will be displayed in the hit list.
Now suppose there is a case where you want to display selected values only and not all the countries in your search help then one way is to create a z-table of countries and put all the countries you want in that table then create z-data element and z-domain for that country field and in domain give the table as a value table.
Another way is to create a view for T005 and T005T table and give the selection conditions as per your requirement and then create the search help with this view and attache the search help to your country field.

Webdynpro for ABAP iView personalization not sticking?

We are currently on EP7 and are having a very odd issue with ABAP Webdynpro iView personalization.
For our Java Webdynpro iViews, we have used iView personalization quite a lot to change field labels, add text, change button text, etcc. all via portal content administration (ctrl+rightclick to make changes from iView preview). These changes would show as custom iView parameters settings on the Java Webdynpro iViews. Then we could put these iViews into our own portal packages and move them to other portals (QA, Production, etc).
However, this is not working quite right with our ABAP Webdynpro iViews. We personalized an iView on our DEV portal. The personalization changes showed just fine for all users (ie. changes to input field labels). However, no new parameter settings show for the iView for the personalization. Also, after packaging, exporting and then importing the iView into the other portals (like moving from DEV to QA), the personalization is gone. We had to manually recreate this on the QA system. However, we do NOT want to do this on the production portal of course nor do we want this to be the method/solution going forward.
So has anyone seen this? Is this some issue/difference between the ABAP and Java webdynpro iView templates?

If it is WebDynPro ABAP iview, if you do the personalization, then your personalization is persisted in ABAP stack. You need to transport it in ABAP i.e R/3 development system to R/3 Quality system. Transporting only iview is not enough.
Note : If you do the personalization for the ABAP iview, it will not be saved in the portal, it will be stored in the ABAP stack.
Thanks
