Role, workset merging

Hi ,
Merging -- This is used when you need to merge role
You can merge a node from one role with a same-level node from another role. Both nodes then appear as one entry in the top-level or detailed navigation, with their respective subnodes appearing in a given sequence beneath the new merged node.
You can merge the following objects:
·        Entry points
·        Root nodes of roles and worksets
·        Folders in roles or worksets.
Both the merging of nodes and the setting of display priorities of the merged nodes are accomplished through various property settings.
●      Merge ID:  It consists of a given string that you must enter as a value. The navigation service checks the values of all navigation nodes, and all entries with identical values are merged.
●      Can be Merged: A property that defines an object as eligible for merging,all enteries having same merge id's can be merged.
●      Merge Priority: A property that determines which node in a merged group is the dominant node, the sort priority, and other properties of the node.
PROCEDURE:
1.Assign the same merge ID to all the entries and nodes of a role that are to be merged.
2.  In the same editor, set the property Can be Merged for all the entries and nodes of a role.
3. In the same editor, set the property Merge Priority for all the entries and nodes of a role that are to be merged.
4.Save the values you have set.
5.Edit the next role by selecting an entry in the role (the node that is to be merged with a node in the first role).
6.Edit all additional entries to be merged as described above for the first role.
I hope this will be helpful to you if you want further help plz get back also you can refer to the linkmentioned below.

  • Role / workset assigning depending on group / users

    Hi All,
    I have a role in top level navigation and two worksetsm (say workset 1 and workset 2 or say role 2 and role 3) in second level navigation.
    I want to give Role A to every one, but workset 1 should be visible to some people and workset 2 should be visible to some other people.
    How can I do this?
    I have 2 ideas....
    1) through code I can control roles / worksets and assign to groups
    2) creating two roles with same name but with different ID's and assigning workset 1 to role with id 1 and workset 2 to role with ID 2. It will look like same role to end user but worksets are differnet.
    Other than these 2 option, is there any more options i have????
    Thanks,
    PradeeP

    I have 2 options is mind..
    1. You create two roles with same name , different id, but you can utilize the merge property( open the role and check its properties), so that if a user has both the roles, he can see only one top level navigation role.
    So even in futrer if you have requirement to show other worksets you can maintain them by this.
    2. You can create two groups and assign the user to the groups depending upon the permission you have set for the roles.
    Based on your requirements you can choose, I used 1st option in my project.

  • Combine Roles/Worksets

    We are trying to limit the number of tabs that show up on the TLN to avoid scrolling.  To do this we would like to combine a few of the Out of the Box roles/worksets (and a few custom).  For instance I have a Workset called "My Work" which appears on the First Level of the TLN.  I would like the Collaboration Room to show up on the Second Level when user is on this tab.
    To achieve this I tried adding the "Room" workset to the "My Work" workset   So now under Collaboration Room Role I see My Work->Collaboration Room->Rooms.
    However the Collaboration Room still shows up on the first level of the TLN.  The "My Work" shows up on the second Level and "Rooms" shows up in the DTN.  Not really what I was looking to do at all.  So I was looking for helpful information (best practices, tips, ideas) on accomplishing this.
    FYI...  All Roles see the My Work workset (which contains three other worksets).  When user clicks the My Work tab they see the three other items on the second level TLN.  I am just trying to add the Collaboration Room to the second level of this existing workset for users that are also assigned to the Collaboration Room role.

    I am looking to implement some custom admin roles so a Portal Administrator with System and Content Admin privledges would see one tab instead of two.  It would look like this:
    Portal Administration - First Level
         --Content Administration - Second Level
         --System Administration - Second Level
    The role looked like this:
    PortalAdminRole
       --Portal Admin Workset
    Content Admin Role
    System Admin Role
    I created the Portal Admin role and Delta Linked the Content Admin and System Admin roles.  I then assigned a user to the Portal Admin role - the Navigation was exactly what I wanted but I got all kinds of Permission errors when trying to navigation though Content Admin and System admin options (i.e., I couldn't see the Portal Content Browser).
    So then I tried a different way with the role looking like this:
    PortalAdminRole
        --PortalAdminWorkset
    ContentAdminWorkset (mergeID matches Content Admin workset for Content Admin Role)
    This option shows both Portal Admin and Content Admin worksets on Top Level and on Second Level of the Portal Admin workset I see another ContentAdminWorkset but it has nothing under it.
    I could get the PortalAdminWorkset to merge with the ContentAdmin workset for Content Admin Role but this put the ContentAdmin worksets at Second Level instead of third and made my second level TLN have too many Tabs.
    Hope this helps you understand what I am trying to achieve.

  • To get the Roles, Worksets, iviews assigned to portal user using webdynpro

    Hi..
    I need to display the roles, worksets, pages and iviews that are assigned to a particular portal user using WebDynpro.
    I tried to search in SDN and found a few blogs on this... but all are for DynPages. I could not find any inputs on how to achieve this in Webdynpro.
    I am listing down the blogs for your reference :
    1) /people/prakash.singh4/blog/2005/07/28/browse-roles-folders-pages-iviews-assigned-to-a-user-ep6-sp9-and-higher
    2) /people/prakash.singh4/blog/2005/09/06/create-a-sitemap-for-your-portal
    Please provide me your suggestions on how to display the roles, worksets, pages and iviews that are assigned to a particular portal user using WebDynpro.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Please use following code to get all roles assigned to user:
         IWDClientUser wdUser = WDClientUser.forceLoggedInClientUser();
         IUser user = wdUser.getSAPUser();
         String strRoleID = "", strRoleDesc = "";

  • Get pictogram of PCD roles/workset/iviews from INavigationNode object

    Hi,
    I am trying to develop a sitemap wherein I would like to display the pictogram of the object. The information I have is just the INavigationNode object (from which the UR/short URL/Launch URL can be retrieved)
            String pictogramURLstr,pictogramLink;
         NavigationNodes rootNodes = getrootnodes();
         for(Iterator it = rootNodes.iterator(); it.hasNext();)
              INavigationNode rootNode = (INavigationNode)it.next();
              String title =  rootNode.getTitle(request.getLocale());
              Tree tree = new Tree(title, "");
              tree.setRootNodeIsVisible(true);
              GridLayoutCell cell = new GridLayoutCell(rootNode.getName());
                    pictogramURLstr="<img src=\""+pictogramLink+"\" style=\"BORDER:NONE; VALIGN:MIDDLE; PADDING-LEFT:3px;\"></img>";
              String text = pictogramURLstr+ "<a href=\"" + "/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=" + rootNode.getName() + "\" target=\"_blank\"; style=\"FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 1.25em; CURSOR: hand; COLOR: #FFF; WHITE-SPACE: nowrap; TEXT-ALIGN: center; TEXT-DECORATION:none; \" >"  +title + "</a>";
                    TreeNode root = new TreeNode(rootNode.getName(), text);

    Hi Mahesh,
    I already tried that, but I need the image set in the pictogram property of the role/workset/iView and not the image corresponding to the object type. The ultimate aim would be to get the same result as in using Navigation tag library <nav:navNodePictogram>
    But due to some constraint, I cannot use Navigation tag libraries and want to have the same effect using the INavigationNode object.

  • Can't edit Roles & Worksets

    Hi,
    There is  very strange issue we are facing on the portal recently,
    We are on EP 7.0 Patch 15. We observed that there is a small change in the sap standard view.
    When we try to edit the roles that were created earlier and the new ones it doesn't allow us to edit them.
    EDIT MODE button is in disable mode for all the roles.
    Now If we select Trace Delta link  from the dropdown box and then switch view then we can't edit any property for role. Its the same issue with worksets.
    The user that we are using to modify developer created roles has super admin role assigned. So definately there is no issue with premission or end user rights.
    Has anyone faced this issue? Any solution that can figured out?
    Cheers

    Hi Rajesh..
    We are facing same problem in EP7, SP6
    EDIT MODE TAB is disabled for iviews...even when accessing thru administartor role.
    As far as permissions are concerned:-
    Super_admin: owner, end user, role assigner
    Administrator: Full Control, end user, role assigner
    Everyone: Read/Write, enduser
    I have Created Web-Dynpro iview and now want to edit PCD Location i.e. changing the dc of this iview..
    But cannot...

  • How to to add gp process as  portal role workset

    Hi all,
    I have made a compllete process in GP
    The name of thr process is - Process1.
    I have a role in the portal -testrole.
    I want the above process to be available to the testrole as a workset of the role
    How am i to achieve this?
    Please help.
    Points assured for help

    Hi Shobendra,
    Here is the way to show your process directly under the 'Roles' Tab
    1)Go to process in design time and select 'Instantiation' tab
    2) Check the box 'Start Process Automatically'.
    3) Click generate instantiate url and save it locally somewhere
    4) Now go to content administration and create a new iview of type---->
    "<b>Web Dynpro Java application - Create iViews from deployed Web Dynpro Java applications</b>"
    5)  Create a "single full-page iView from each application variant " and click next
    6) now select <b>sap.com--->cafeugpuiinst-> com.sap.caf.eu.gp.ui.inst.AInstantiation--->AInstantiation</b>
    7) Make the iview and page as it guides you.
    8)Now Edit the iView which you have created.
    9)Put the "instantiate url" which you got in 'step 3' in 'Application Parameter ' property of iView.
    10)Save and generate preview.
    That process should open in a new window.
    11)Now attach this iView or Page to ypur role or make a workset, attach the iview to workset and add that workset to Role.
    Hope this helps.

  • Roles, Worksets Users

    Hi, i have the following escenario:
    i have some iviews into some pages into a workset and that workset into a role called 'Home'. The field 'Entry Point' is set in the role and the workset
    in the other hand i have a user called Director and this user is into a Role called Directors.
    everything(iviews, pages, workset and role) have permissions for that role Directors.
    the problem is that when i log into the portal(Administrator and Director users), i dont se the 'Home' role in the top navigation level.
    i hope anybody can help me...
    thx
    regards.

    Hi,
    once again:
    > I set up 'Entry Point' in the folder
    > and in the role properties
    No need for this. Period.
    > In the permisions of the role
    Role assignment does not work via permissions. Period.
    This has been told twice now. I hope we got it cleared...
    Now the question: Where does your UME role Director come from? Or is it a user, as written now: "i add the <i>user 'Director'</i>"?!
    If the latter is the case, go to user administration, Roles, search for your user, edit the user, search for the role Home, assign this role to the user, save it(!). Done.
    Hope it helps

  • Merging Workset Maps?

    Hi,
    I tried to merge two workset map iviews from two different roles but I am getting the below error message
    "Could not find workset location. Check the 'Relative Workset Location' parameter of this iView."
    Can you help me fix this?
    Thanks
    Raj Balakrishnan

    Selvaraj -
    First, I think that merging is only available on the role, workset, or folders.  The last time I checked, page and iView merging were not supported.
    I don't believe that you can merge the workset maps as you desire.  The workset map works by visually displaying icons for individual pages etc. that are contained in the workset.  The parameter 'Relative Workset Location' describes where to find the workset.  When merging two workset maps, I'm guessing that the iView does not know where the workset is for display.

  • Hiding the workset of a predefined role

    Hello Experts,
    can you suggest how to hide the workset of any pre-defined role?
    for eg. if I have assigned the pre-defined role 'Content Admin' to an user, how can I hide a specific workset of that role?
    is there any property for workset to hide or do I have to create a custom role and assign all the worksets that I need?
    regards.

    Raghava,
    If you dont want to create a role, you would end up altering the permissions for role,workset,page etc. What if in the future you have to use the standard role? So, the recommended way is to create a role and assign the worksets you want to view.
    Cheers!

  • Roles and Worksets are indicated several times in Top-level-navigation.

    Hallo Experts,
    I dont understand why the Roles and Worksets in the Top-level-navigation are displayed several times. How can I change that?
    Thank you very much
    regards,
    Galyna

    Hi,
    Which roles do you see several times?
    If it is the home tab than you might have assigned yourself for example, eu_role, eu_core_role and cc_role.
    If under the Home you see for example the Company, Work, Team... worksets twice than again you might have assigned yourself for example, eu_role, eu_core_role and cc_role.
    If these are administrative roles than might have assigned yourself these roles through multiple groups/roles assignments.
    If you will say exactly which roles/worksets you see several times we will be able to help more efficiently.
