RemovingDisabling Portal Tool Area

We currently want to increase the portal body size, and do not have TREX running, so we are wanting to remove\disable the Portal Tool Area (removing Search Field Box, Search, and Advance Search from Portal Outer Frame. Instead of blanking out values within Theme Editor for Portal Tool Area, can we just disable Portal Tool Area globally to increase the portal body size?

James

Hi,
You can open the default framework page from Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP -> End User Content -> Standard Portal Users -> Default Framework Page. Inside that, Uncheck the visiblity check box of tool bar iView. That should do.

How to add a custom iview to the portal tool area

Hello:
We want to add some simple text like date,day and some
more things to the portal tool area, where a KM search
box, and collobaration link exists now.
I tried to look up for the tool area iview par file, but
only found, *.ept file only which doesn't contain any
code.
I hope atleast some of the clients might have tried this.
If you will you please shed some light on how to achieve
this task.
Thank you very much in advance for the help,
Prasad Nutalapati

Hi Prasad,
try to do this:
1) download the par file of the standard toolbar. You can find it under:
\usr\sap\P602\j2ee\j2ee_00\cluster\server\services\servlet_jsp\work\jspTemp\irj\root\WEB-INF\deployment\pcd
its name is: com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea.par.bak
2)import it into eclipse with another name, i.e. com.customer.portal.navigation.toolarea
3) modify as you need the jsp contained in it in order to satisfy your requirements.
4) deploy the par into the portal and create a new iview based on it.
5) put this iview into the framework page you want to use, hiding/deleting standard toolbar
these steps are OK if you want simply modify the layout of the toolbar, you cannot modify the logic behind it.
If you need to do that, for example add some buttons which perform some custom actions, you have to develop a new component from scratch using the portal development paradigms.
I hope this could help you
Cheers

"Portal tools area keeps apearing" EP 6.0 SP 10

We have made the Portal tool area invisible in our Portal by making it invisible in "content provided by SAP -> end user content -> Standard Portal users -> Default framework Page" by "unticking" the visible attribute for iView "tool area".
However once per week it keeps reappearing although no manual changes have been made to the Default framework page.
Any ideas to what that can be caused by - e.g. by some standard Portal restore job?!
Message was edited by: Kurt Frambo

Hi Kurt Frambo
I would recommend that changes related to portal desktops etc should always be done by making copies to the original SAP object, renaming them & storing them in your folders and them modifying them so that after patches/upgrades they do not keep changing and you dont have rework a lot and restoring the original.
I hope this would solve your problem..
Let me know if you have any other queries. Also tell me if you were using the SAP Framework page or have u created a copy of the original and applied that in your theme/rule..?

Unable to launch colloboration at sap tool area

hi experts ,
Here in SystemAdministration -> System Configuration -> collobortaion -> real time colloboration -> application sharing - > we get list of fields in the right pane , here in server name should we maintain host name or ip address or entire url of the server , i had kept all the three and gave the correct port number but colloboration is not getting displayed in the portal tool area . My sap ep version is 7.01 please suggest a solution .
Regards
Govardan Raj S

Hi Ventsi,
Your answer was dead-on. We were indeed able to lauch the config tool from the 'remote' location and were able to edit the secure store files afterwards. SAP support has stated that the fix for 7.01 will be available with support stack 07 (not yet released).
On a side note, we found the true core of our issue. Apparently, once this server was moved to it's new location (new IP) a firewall rule prevented the proper functioning of the TNSlistener in building a java based connection string. The listener depended on the nslookup functionality working properly.
Once we corrected the port block and nslookup could function correctly, the listener also functioned correctly and everything began to flow.
We're up and running again. I don't understand the false positive we got here for the issue, but we're fixed and running again.
Thanks again Ventsi!

Alert message in tool area with hyperlink to forum/km

Hi all,
I'm looking for informations about the tool area customization located in the framework.
I've read that we could publish a message in the header about information or important notifications, but I did not found any hint over ther internet nor in SDN on how to make it work (I'm not so experienced in portal dev).
I would like to do something very similar to SAP Marketplace for important events (maintenance, critical issues...): a warning message appearing at the top of the portal (in masterhead?) with an hyperlink to a document (km or discussion to put informations on the fly...) which appears only when messages are published (i.e. no link if no message is published, or an easy way to switch it off).
Any hint is welcome as tool arean is not documented at all...
Pierre

Hi Pierre ,
Actually there are a few ways to do it .
1) If you want to put up message in Masthead , you will have to customize its par . You can insert a link , on the click of it you will get a Alert pop up(java script) showing the desired information . You can also put up a scrollable message in the masthead itself .
2) If you want to put up a message in Page toolbar , then again you will have to customize its par . You can place a link there as well .
If you place these messages in par , it means you will have to remove it every time from there and then redeploy on portal to bring these changes into effect . Instead you can also place these messages in portal database and query it to call it in the par files .

Collaboration Room Link on Tool Area Bar. Possible?

Hi All,
we have collabration rooms which dispays under My rooms for a particular user.Now a user wants to access a single room from somewhere Tool Area iview so that he need not have to navigate to next page for My room iview and then access.
We can do that by changing the URL link of help option with room URL,so that he can click on Help on Tool Area and acees it.But how can i change the name from HELP to some other.I think its not possible?please Confirm.
Is there any possibility to add one more link same as HELP
somewhere on Tool Area and give Room URl to access the room.
Or anyother good option.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Rani,
to 1:
You wanted to know how to change the name "HELP" in the toolarea iView, because as you correctly said, to change the link you only need to change an iView parameter. So only for the label "Help" you need to touch the PAR file. But actually I was misguided by your text, cause the Help link is in the masthead iView and not in the tool area, so you need to change the text in the localization files headeriView_nls(_XX).properties located in com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.par
to2: For achieving that the links are only visible for some specific users you need to implement some additional logic in the ToolAreaiView.jsp
Hope that answers your doubts and your question,
Robert

Damodhar.

Hi Damodhar,
The Tool area iview has to be there in Default Frame work page. But if some how u lost that then one thing i can advice there is a par file in the server com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea.par.bak,Go System Administration>> Support>>Portal Runtime>>Browse Deployment>>WEB-iNF>> Deployment>> pcd, import that into ur NWDS and delpoy it to the server. Make an iview based on it and put that iview in the frame work page in its postion.

How to remove Tool Area in EP 7.0

Hi EP Gurus,
I am Using EP 7.0 and the client requirement is that there should be no tool area in the portal display..... How can i remove it?
Thanks in advance
Sivaprasath

hi,
you can do by,
goto content administrator (if you have content admin rights) from their you go to either content provided by sap or go to portal users.
from their you navigate to standard portal users open it and select default frame work page ( and this is the main frame work page for your portal if you are just trying then please create your own frame work so that you are not going to be in trouble if have done some mistake)
here you select page tool bar and remove the check mark and make it invisible.

How to Transport changes made to tool Area

Hi
According to my requirment
i had to remove a Portal Search option from Tool Area.
My requirment is to removie it from the theme as we don't need it
I performed the following
Go to Content Administration
Portal Content--> Content Provided by SAP->End User Content-> Standar Portal Users
From Default frame work page.Open the same and untick the Visible Check box beside tool area iView in the frame work page.
Now how can i transport these changes from DEV Portal to QUA Portal
Thanks

You can transpor the pcd content using
Import/export options in SystemAdministration->Transport
But I am afraid that you cannot transport the standard pcd content as its id starts with sap.com.
Best of doing is Don't do any changes to the standard default framework page
Instead of that... you duplicate it and change the id of the framework page then export it
and import in the target portal as said above.
Use that imported frameworkpage in your dekstop.

Hi Pradeep,
Have you read my following weblog.
Brodcast messages to logged on users in Portal(Part1)
Brodcast messages to logged on users in Portal(Part2)
the above is one alternative. You could also write a JDBC application that stores alert and then display alert when it finds it in the database. If you send an email at psingh(at)ust.net, i could send you see this example.
