Hi Kiran,
You have been using this link as URL.
http://<host>:<port>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=
ROLES://portal_content/com.sap.pct/
platform_add_ons/com.sap.caf.eu.gp.folders.gp/com.sap.caf.eu.gp.roles.runtime/
com.sap.caf.eu.gp.worksets.runtime/com.sap.caf.eu.gp.pages.procinstance&DynamicParameter=
processId%3704process.template.id=704B8100BCC111DEC2C300096B6E4F29&param1=CPD&NUMBER=
4500001186&UserId=138458&&taskId=
Now just try replacing following characters between occurence of "ROLES" and "&DynamicParameter" as follows:
: --> %3A
/ --> %2F
Also, after "&DynamicParameter" replace
= --> %3D
& --> %26
to define passed Parameter Names and Values.
It will look something like this:-
"http://<host>:<port>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=
+ "ROLES%3A%2F%2Fportal_content%2FXYZContent%2FBHBSS%2FXYZPages%2FXYZMaintenance" +
%2FpgXYZ&DynamicParameter="
+ "RF02D-VKORG"+"%3D" + "1040"
+ "%26" + "RF02D-KUNNR" + "%3D" + 40
+ "&CurrentWindowId=WID1232176120474&NavMode=3"
I have show the URL in the form of strings appended, you need to show them in a flow removing the double quotes and plus symbol.
Let me know if you still have problem accessing through the link.

Read Portal iViews with a webservice

Hi,
I need to get all the iViews related to all roles assigned to a requested user.
My webservice now does the following:
try{
 String[] roles =UMFactory.getRoleFactory().getRolesOfUser("USER.R3_DATASOURCE."+user,true);
for(int i=0;i<roles.length;i++){
 IRole role = UMFactory.getRoleFactory().getRole(roles);
 Userroles= new String(role.getUniqueName());
}catch(Exception e1){
I tried with javax.naming.directory.DirContext but it don't seems to work. Is it possible to do so with a webservice?
Many thanks

WebDynpro Abap table not rendered correctly inside portal iView

Hi,
I have a webDynpro Abap application with a table that contains radio buttons as table cell editors.
When I run the application directly it looks fine, but when I run it inside a portal iView the radio button allignment changes to the top of the table cell.
Please help.
Kind Regards,
Dirk Naude

I found that this could be fixed by changing the portal theme using the theme editor, specifically changing the table cell padding property.

IView read another iView's profile.

I have two iViews derived from the same PortalComponent, but have been set different set values for the profiles.
When I added both of the iViews to the same page, one iView reads another iView's profile. Most of the time both of them use the same value from one profile, but which profile it is used is undertermined. If I keep refreshing the page, I can see which profile the two iView choose to use is random.
The expected behavior should be each iView only uses its own profile.
My EP's version is:
J2EE Engine 6.40 PatchLevel 87289.311
Portal 6.0.9.0.0
The same code works fine on
J2EE Engine 6.30 PatchLevel 84868.311
Portal 6.4.0.0.200406231750
In my portalapp.xml my profile is define like this:
<component-profile>
<property name="My Profile Name" value="default">
In my portalcomponent code.
I read profile by :
request.getComponentContext().getProfile().getProperty(paramName));
Can somebody tell me why? Is it a known bug? Did I missed some patch?
Please mail me to [email protected] too.
Thank you for your help.
Harry

Hi Harry,
> saved in IPortalComponentRequest
In the original message, you wrote about a problem concerning the profile, now it's the request!?
> If this is a fixed issue, please let me know,
> in which patch it is fixed.
If your are lucky, you'll get an answer to such questions on SDN, but anyhow, no official ones. That's the reason why I have suggested to open an OSS message, that's the support channel which should be able to answer officially to this kind of question. Anyhow, you would have to describe the problem in detail, also if the profile or the request is concerned...
> confused with the version numbers
There is a note about what build version corresponds to what SP/Patch. Anyhow, "sneak preview EP version 6.4.0.0.200406231750" probably is quite old, it's from 23.06.2004...
Hope it helps

Error in creating Callable object of type Portal iView

Hi,
How many actions are there in your process?. Is it having only one action that is Web service?.
I think, The process should at least contain one UI action.
If your process is having multiple actions, there may problem with other actions. Test the web service action seperately to confirm this.
Thanks

Error in BI4 SP04 Olap Analysis Using Portal iview list template

We are trying to host the BI Launch Pad BI4 SP04.1 in the SAP Enterprise Portal (7.3.1.Sp04) on AIX 6.1 using the SAP Business Objects Document List Template, but getting an error when trying to use Olap for Analysis.
When previewng the iview from the portal, the bilaunch pad is opened and the main page is displayed
Then we select the icon Analysis for Olap, select an Olap connection and receive error in
message box titled 'Analysis Edition for Olap'
Login Failed. Invalid, User Name or Password
It seems to be problem with SSO token back to the SAP portal.
We have SSO configured from BI4 SP04.0.1 to BW 7.3.1. SP04 and can login to the launch pad using SAP authentication with the same account.
The security on the OLAP connection is everyone - view.
If we change the Olap connection authentication to pre-defined from SSO, Olap Analysis works correctly from the portal iview, but of course the permissions are not acceptable. Further, we set SSO to false from the global.properties file and restarted tomcat. We can then start the launchpad from the Iview in the portal and are prompted for manual logon, use SAP authentication and Olap for Analysis runs correctly as the same user we tried previously.
However, our requirement is to use SAP authentication and SSO from the portal to BI4 and not logon on manually.
I have entered an OSS message for this issue and making little progress there. If you have made this work or have some ideas you can share, I would be very grateful!
Lee Lewis

Just want to update with more information-
Again, from the enterprise portal through the ivew - BO Document List template,
Connects through to BI Launch Pad without having to login-using the BW ABAP credentials
Then we try to open a webi document with an olap connection that has sso authentication instead of pre-defined user, we do not get the same user login failed message, the page is just blank
But if I login directly to bi launch pas with the same SAP authentication that was used with the enterprise portal, and bring up the same webi document, the report is displayed as expected.
Anybody successfully use the BO document list ivew using Olap connections with SSO and not just a pre-defined user?
