Trigger Navigation an iView/Page from Portal component

All,
I am writing AbstractPortalComponent and after performing some logic, I have to forward the control to a iView/Page. Please let me know how I can trigger navigation to a iView/Page from within AbstractPortalComponent.
Thanks,
Prasad

Hi Reddy,
You can use EPCF Navigation API in response.write.
response.write("<html>");
response.write("<script language='javascript'>");
response.write("EPCM.doNavigate('ROLES://<pcd location of the iview or page>');");
response.write("</script>");
response.write("</html>");
Or you can use request.redirect(url) for this depending on your requirement. For request.redirect check this link.

Hi Karthick,
I think I answered on another post, but here it is again:
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, IPcdAttribute.PERSISTENCY_ASPECT);

 iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
 IPcdContext attrSet = (IPcdContext) iCtx.lookup(roleID);
 response.write(attrSet.getAttributes("").get("com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.CreatedAt").get() +"--PP ");
Hope it helps.

Calling an existing iView/page

HI
How to call an existing iView/page from a jsp page.
Thanks
Shashank

Hi,
You can call the iview directly with an URL..URL format looks like below.
http://server:port/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/<PCD_LOCATION_URL>
Replace the server with your host name and port with you port number and copy the PCD URL of an iview after prtroot in the above URL and change the PCD URL as mentioned below
replace ':' with '!3a'
replace '/' with '!2f'
Hope this helps you..

When bookmarking a page, I can't get the complete list of bookmark folders to dropdown in order to select any folder in which to bookmark page. What do you set to get whole list of folders in Bookmarks to drop down?

When bookmarking a page, I can't get the complete list of bookmark folders to drop down in order to select any folder in which to bookmark page. The 'Folder:' bar has 'Bookmarks Menu' showing. The arrow on the bar drops down 5 recent folders to which pages have been saved, but the pop down arrow to the right of the bar just opens to show the three categories and 'New Folder' button. What do you set to get whole list of folders in Bookmarks to drop down?

To all, embarrassingly enough, I have discovered that I didn't know how to expand the three categories including 'Bookmarks Menu' in the 'Bookmark This Page' pop up interface. It was expanded by default on the initial Firefox opening and first page bookmark attempt. Next use it only showed categories. I clicked and double clicked the 'Bookmarks Menu' line, but failed to see the small, shaded triangle used to expand/collapse list. If it appears collapsed, just tap triangle at left of line to see all folders. It seems to open the same way after I do it for first time. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for all the attempts to help.

Find the iViews, Pages and Folders assigned to Role

Hi,
Does any one has the idea about how to retrieve the worksets, pages and iviews assigned to a role.
I found a piece of code that will retrieve the roles, worksets, pages and iviews from PCD.
Here is the code, that is to retrieve the roles, worksets, pages and iviews from PCD
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getSAPUser());
env.put(com.sap.portal.directory.Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, PcmConstants.ASPECT_ADMINISTRATION);
InitialContext initialContext = null;
DirContext dirCtx;
initialContext = new InitialContext(env);
dirCtx = (DirContext) initialContext.lookup("pcd:portal_content/");
PcdSearchControls pcdSearchControls = new PcdSearchControls();
pcdSearchControls.setReturningObjFlag(false);
pcdSearchControls.setSearchScope(PcdSearchControls.SUBTREE_WITH_UNIT_ROOTS_SCOPE);
dirCtx.addToEnvironment(Constants.APPLY_ASPECT_TO_CONTEXTS,Constants.APPLY_ASPECT_TO_CONTEXTS);
// Gets the full path of the iViews from the PCD
NamingEnumeration ne =      dirCtx.search("","(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.iview)",     pcdSearchControls);
while (ne.hasMoreElements())
     IPcdSearchResult searchResult = (IPcdSearchResult) ne.nextElement();
     String location = "pcd:portal_content/" + searchResult.getName();
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("View ="+location);
// Gets the full path of the pages from the PCD
NamingEnumeration nePage = dirCtx.search("","(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.page)",pcdSearchControls);
while (nePage.hasMoreElements())
     IPcdSearchResult searchResult = (IPcdSearchResult) nePage.nextElement();
     String location = "pcd:portal_content/" + searchResult.getName();
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Page ="+location);
// Gets the full path of the worksets from the PCD
NamingEnumeration neWorkSet = dirCtx.search("","(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.workset)",pcdSearchControls);
while (neWorkSet.hasMoreElements())
     IPcdSearchResult searchResult = (IPcdSearchResult) neWorkSet.nextElement();
     String location = "pcd:portal_content/" + searchResult.getName();
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("WorkSet ="+location);
But my requirements is, if I have the role as "Sales Role", I want to find the iViews, Pages and worksets assinged to this role.
Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Chinna.

Hi,
All you need to do is to change the search root object:
DirContext dirCtx;
initialContext = new InitialContext(env);
dirCtx = (DirContext) initialContext.lookup("pcd:portal_content/mypath/myrole");
PcdSearchControls pcdSearchControls = new PcdSearchControls();
pcdSearchControls.setReturningObjFlag(false);
pcdSearchControls.setSearchScope(PcdSearchControls.SUBTREE_WITH_UNIT_ROOTS_SCOPE);
dirCtx.addToEnvironment(Constants.APPLY_ASPECT_TO_CONTEXTS,Constants.APPLY_ASPECT_TO_CONTEXTS);
all the rest stays the same.
BTW - you can also retrieve all the objects using one search by putting
(|(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.iview),(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.page),(com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.ObjectClass=com.sapportals.portal.workset))
In the search query. Then you can get the type using PCM (portal content model) APIs.
Hope this helps, Elisha

Cleaning up old iviews/pages/worksets

Hello,
We have a lot of old iviews/pages/worksets that we continue to leave in our existing portal content folder structure. It makes it very difficult to find the current active iviews and know for sure you are working with the correct item. What is the best practice for "archiving" this old portal content? I could just re-organize the folders in portal content so that the active items are together and the old items are in an archived folder area. But should I do something to clean out this old stuff from our test and production systems? Is it taking up space on our test and production system such that we should do something to have it removed?
Thank you for your recommendations.
Wendy Miller

Hi Wendy
I would not won't to answer your question with a definate answer but what you need is proper management of your portal content.
to simplify
1. Identify the iviews you are using and the iviews not of use.
2. check if you have crated your own copy of the iview or its being used as delievered.
3. once the list is ready start deleting the unused copied iviews.
4. Its not a good idea to delete standard iviews however it doesn't mean that you can't.
You need to sit with business and identify what you are currently using.
Have company specific content repository and never use standard iviews without copying.
good luck.

How do you expand items in a list of items in jsp page

I have this list of task items being retrieved from the data from master table:
 <%
 List taskList = (List) request.getAttribute("searchresult");
 if (searchresultList.size() != 0) {
 for (Iterator itr=searchresultList.iterator(); itr.hasNext(); )
 TaskList workList =
 (taskList )itr.next();
 %>
 <tr>
 <td>
 <a href="/taskItemDetail.do?itemId=<%=taskList.getId()%>" >
 <%=taskkList.getId()%></a>
 </td>
 <td><%=taskList.getTask()%></td>
 <td><%=taskList.getDate()%></td>
 </tr>
<%}%>
now when I click on the above link I want to be able to get the detail for that item from
the detail table and want to be able to show it inbetween the other master tables results.
Kind of like when you expand an item in windows folders by clicking the plus sign (+).

Basically you have two choices. You can include the whole, expanded list in your HTML, and use Javascript on the client side to fold and unfold sections, or you can maintain a list of folded items in your web app, and have transactions which alter this list and return an appropriate new page.
Remember, JSPs are not interactive. All they do is generate HTML.
Ideally, store the folding state on the page (e.g. encoded into a hidden field). You could put it in Session, but then if you have two browser windows open on the same browser windows can interfere with one another.

How to disable automatic loading of iView/Page in detailed navigation?

Hello,
We've upgraded our portal 7.0 from SP9 to SP12.
I've noticed that SAP have added this change: Whenever a user is navigating between one role/tab to another in the top level navigation the first folder at the detailed navigation is automatically opened and the first content there is automatically loaded.
I would like to disable this option - I've looked at the new properties that have been added to the detailed navigation iView between SP9 and SP12 and could only find these two: Display Parent of Hidden Node and Open Folder When Launched.
These two are not solving this problem and they are disabled anyway.
Any ideas...?
Roy

Roy,
Role and Workset Hierarchy:
Folders F1 and F2 (Roles) are defined as entry points and therefore appear on the first level of the top level navigation bar. What happen is when we click F1 (Role), the underlying folders F1a and F1b (Worksets) appear on the second level. On click on F1a the first entry F1a (Workset) of the second level is activated and its contents (iViews) are displayed in the detail navigation and the contents of the iView is displayed in the portal page of the content area.
And same procedure happens with F2 role on the first level of the top level navigation bar. When we click on the F2 (Role) the underlying folders F2a and F2b (Worksets) appear on the second level of the top level navigation bar. On click on F2a the first entry F2a (Workset) of the second level is activated and its contents (iViews) are displayed in the detail navigation and the contents of the iView is displayed in the portal page of the content area.
I think need to configure levels of TLN which includes top level navigation, detail navigation and content area and then need to define the entry points.
Below are the links for configuring levels of TLN and right below it you will find link for define entry point:
