Questions( 3 & 4) on PDK

Hi ,
this is in continuation of my earlier post(Q1 and Q2 on PDK)
Q3.Do we get pdk free.?will there be any liscening issues? I checked it on the sdn . but it says 90 trai version
Q4.if it is only for deployment ,
using Netweaver developer studio we can deploy the par files and
and for downloading the par files we can create iview based on the parcomponent (which allows us to browse and download) and assign it to developer role.so do we really need PDK?
Thanks,
satya

HI Satya
You can download the PDk from the following link
https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/downloadarea.sdn
Its a sneak preview. so i think there will be problems with licensing
Along with PDK you could get some code samples which will very helpful to you

PDK Compatibility

Hi,
We have a couple of questions.
1] Older PDK version compatibility with EP6SP3
==============================================
We are on EP6SP3. Can you please let us know whether we can use EP6SP2P2 as the PDK. Is this a compatible match?
2] Par creation excludes jsp file.
==================================
Developer Studio version is 2.0.4
When we create a new JSPDynPro Portal component, the resultant par is not including the jsp (pagelet) it is only containing the bean and the portal component class files. Are we missing some inbetween step?
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Munish

Hi,
I'd try installing the SP6 PDK, but no guarantee here.

A few questions about the PDK

1. Will it work with Visual Studio 2008?
2. Is it free?
3. Does it require any config to the back-end the R/3 system(s) or NWDI servers?
4. Does it work?
I'm not a fan of NWDS and would much rather work with .NET if at all possible. Would love to know of any success/horror stories going that route.
Thanks!!!

Hello Steve,
Last PDK for .NET release is PDK 2.5 for .NET, therefore I'll answer your questions with respect to this version.
1. It doesn't work in Visual Studio 2008, but it works in Visual Studio 2005
2. The tool itself is free, but
3. it requires SAP Netweaver Portal
4. It works

It is question on portlet pdk struts tags link

hi:
<td>
<jsp:useBean id="rowEditSet" class="java.util.HashMap"/>
<c:set target="${rowEditSet}" property="event" value="setCurrentRowWithKey"/>
<c:set target="${rowEditSet}" property="Arg0" value="${Row.rowKeyStr}"/>
<pdk-html:link action="/browseCustomers.do" name="rowEditSet">Select
</pdk-html:link>
result:
Select
dont use

The problem was an old copy of the struts.jar file, which was missing the calculateUrl() method called by the Oracle tag. With a new struts.jar file, all was good.

PDK question

I downloaded PDK and there is a installing.jpdk.html in one of the directories but I assume that is for
JPDK only, there should be one for PL/SQL and Perl too... Shouldn't the thing
have its own installer or something?

Hi April
Yes this document is for JPDK only and it documents how to install the PDK Java samples into and OC4J instance.
I don't believe there is any particular install procedure to be able to build PL/SQL portlets. As for perl and other web technologies, url services is used, which is part of the PDK Java. Take a look at portalstudio.oracle.com, there are plenty of how to documents on there which should explain things for you.

Passing parameters between portlets (PL/SQL PDK)

I'm new to the PDK, so forgive me if this is a dumb question. I need to develop a portal page containing a single search portlet, and then many other associated portlets which bring back various bits of data based on the result of the search.
Is it possible to drive the content of other portlets on the same page by passing values from one to another and refreshing the whole page?
null

Neil,
You can definitely pass parameters from one portlet to another in PL/SQL and we actually have a sample that you can take a look at. In the PDK, download the Parameter passing and CSS Example Provider sample. http://technet.oracle.com/products/iportal/files/pdkjan/index.html
Click on PL/SQL
One of the portlets demonstrates how to pass parameters to one portlet or all portlets on a page.
Hope this helps,
Sue

How can I pass more than one parameters in PDK-URL services?

Hi all,
How can I pass more than one parameters in PDK-URL service? All samples on Portal Center shows just one parameter passing.
<inputParameter class="oracle.portal.provider.v1.URLPortletParameter">
<name>csz</name>
<isMandatory>false</isMandatory>
<displayName>What location do you want a map for (City, State or Zip)?</displayName>
</inputParameter>
How can I write the privider.xml file for passing multiple parameters?

I answer to my question. I've got the answer.
I repeatly write down the <inputParameter> tags, and it works.

How do I get proxy authentication working with PDK-URL Services?

I am posting this question for a PDK user
HEllo!!!
I installed the jpdk and the urlservices.
In the company, we have to log into the proxy server before

How can setup my urlservices so they can pass this

We have an undocumented 'Authenticating Proxy' feature, which can be used when user needs to be authenticated before accessing external sites.
Sample usage in provider.xml:
<proxyInfo class="oracle.portal.provider.v1.http.ProxyInformation">
<httpProxyHost>proxy.server.com</httpProxyHost>
<httpProxyPort>8080</httpProxyPort>
<proxyUser>abcd</proxyUser>
<proxyPassword>123456</proxyPassword>
<proxyRealm>your_proxy_realm</proxyRealm>
</proxyInfo>
Three new tags introduced here are :
(i) proxyUser - name of proxy user
(ii) proxyPassword - password for the above user.
(iii) proxyRealm - Realm under which this user information is valid.
Please edit all the tags and provide your domain specific proxy details.
Please post your results (successes and problems) on the forum to enable us to better scope how stable this undocumented feature is before moving forward.

Newbie question re: electronic signature

I have a few questions regarding electronic signature in a form I'm developing.
The form will require multiple electronic signatures .. one from the original user making a request, 2 more from approvers, and a final from the person fulfilling the request. I've defined the 4 signature fields, but in testing, when I electronically sign the first, it forces a save of the document at that point. That's not a killer, and after reading some related threads I understand why. But when I re-open the saved document to add an approving signature, I find the entire doc is now locked from accepting any further activity. BTW, approvers will have to complete additional fields along with adding their signature.
On a related note, whenever a signature is added, I need to automatically populate a "signature date" field. I found another thread in this forum that purported to give an example, but the example didn't work in practice, and the document was protected, so I couldn't open it for editing to examine the code. When dealing with the code, I'm not a java programmer but have a heavy programming background in several other languages, so expect I can understand fragments and be able to pick up what I need fairly easily.
Any and all help will be appreciated.

If you have EP installed on Windows you can use the same server for your .net applications, but may be your server will need more memory or processor.
You can check the EP PDK for VStudio.net documentation, this document explains how works the integration with .net, for example, IIS is not need it, but you have to have a Windows 2003 server with .net framework installed, this is a fragment of the documentation: "The SAP Enterprise Portal acts as the only web server, therefore IIS is neither needed nor used."
I didn't found any information about performance or salability, I don't know if SAP will release something in the future.

Problems while migrating PDK applications from Portal 7.1 to Portal 7.3

Hi All,
I am facing a problem while migrating a PDK application from Portal 7.1 to Portal 7.3.
Since Portal 7.3 doesnt support PAR files any more it provided with a tool to convert the PAR to an EAR file and deploy the resultant EAR to the new portal.
I converted the PAR into EAR and deployed the file but the application is not executing. When I looked into the log files i found the following exception. The application is not able to identify the tag "documentBody". I checked the protalapp.xml and the "SharingReference" is properly maintained in the file but the error message suggests that its not able to fine the reference to the tagLib uri maintained in the portalapp.xml
Now my question is why is it not able to obtain a reference to the taglib? Did any one face similar problem previously. Can you please provide me with any document for migrating / developing PDK application for Portal 7.3

Hi Amit,
Thanks for your reply. I could see some progress after "thoroughly" going through those links. Thanks a lot (gave points too )
Now I am facing another problem. The application did deploy successfully but with a warning. When i checked the warning it says that the deployment was successful but can not be started.
The log file has the following error message.
Global [startApp] operation of application [newsint.co.uk/newsint~cas~ptlsvc] finished with errors for [5] ms on server process [2721950] [
>>> Errors <<<
1). com.sap.engine.services.deploy.exceptions.ServerDeploymentException: Application newsint.co.uk/newsint~cas~ptlsvc cannot be started. Reason: it has hard reference to the following resources, which are currently not available on the system: hard to SAPPORTAL/com.sapportals.htmlb (public) (f=true, cl=false); .
In order to start the application, components that provide the missing resources should be successfully deployed.

I dont understand why is SAPPORTAL/com.sapportals.htmlb is not available. As per my understanding it is some thing that should be available with the portal server by default.
Any hints from any one?
thanks in advance

Install PDK in an OC4J instance of OracleAS

Hello.
I have installed an OracleAS + Portal 10g (9.0.4), and I have created a new OC4J instance, named OC4J_newinstance.
My question is: How do I install PDK in OC4J_newinstance?
I have found a lot of tutorials and forums, but all of them explained how to install PDK in an OC4J STANDALONE instance. Please help me, and thanks in advance!
Greetings!
ps: I need to install PDK because I want to develop my own portlets, using my own JSP pages. I already have done that, but using an OC4J STANDALONE instance, and I want to use my OracleAS OC4J_newinstance.

Hi Shail,
i referred the link you have sent it was helpful to me, but the thing is while deleting the shared library apache.webservices it is saying the shared library is in use. When we brought down the Application Server and try to run the removeSharedLibrary command we got other error.
Error: "Failed at "Could not get DeploymentManager".
This is typically the result of an invalid deployer URI format being supplied, the target server not being in a started state or incorrect authentication details being supplied.
Is the way which i have done is correct ?? Please reply me.
Thank You,
Ravi kumar.

PDK use of HTT

Hi
I need go get some clarification this some central issues here.
First, in the installation guide after installation of HTT, there is a reference to something called The Template Manager what is that?
It is a separate program or part of Portal, how do I start it?
I know this might be a stupid question, but I really dont know anything about a Template Manager.

http://www.portal.nl/pls/HTT/HTT_PUBLIC.template_mgr.show
This will be the htt managers location where 'www.portal.nl' is your url to the portal site.
In this manager you can store your HTml Tenplates (HTT) that you want to use withing your portal.
HTT is not a part of portal, but can be used with it. There is a table 'gen_portlets_tab' in which each row represents a HTT portlet.
more info on the subject is located at:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/iportal/files/pdk/integrat/htt/docs/Index.html

was helpful, but still not allowing my portal component to run successfully
a question on the Portal Servers Configuration
my current *=10.8.2.64:50400;
default : *=localhost:8051
i have also tried with
*=10.8.2.64:8051; [but this was just a trial, as i do not have the 8051 port on the portal server listening]
what is the port number i should be pointing to on the portal server ?
with respect,

Version of pdk for EP 7.0.4 in SAP NetWeaver 2004s

Hello,
I have installed Portal (EP) 7.0.4 in netweare 2004s (was 7.0) in oracle 10g and Windows 2003.
Question:
1. That version of pdk I must install ?
2. Where I can find for download ?
thanks for its aid ,
Luis.

Luis,
the PDK contains mainly documentation and examples. That means the PDK should be installable.
Your NWDS 7.0 has all the needed Portal-APIs in the correct version already implemented so that you can use them.
IMHO, there are just minor changes between the 6.40 and 7.00 versions.
