SAP Portal Custom Theme change UI Look & Feel of ESS screens - Possible ?

Hi,
I have a requirement where the look and feel of the UI controls of the ESS/MSS applications have to be different - Jazzy
I know XSS homepage framework is for the customisation of Areas, Sub Areas. What I am more interested is only the look and feel UI of ESS/MSS applications.
If I change the standard theme of portal using Theme Editor and create a new custom theme with different back ground colors, fonts, sizes for all the UI controls,.Will the customised Theme apply on the standard ESS / MSS screens ? Also my doubt is we are using EHP3 and I am not sure how many are Webdynpro java based or webdynpro Abap based.
Will the theme apply to both WDA and WDJ application UI controls of ESS/MSS?
Any inputs in this regard will be of great help. thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sreeram

Hi Sreeram,
Yes, you should be able to apply the portal theme to both WDA and WDJ applications. This [posting|Re: webdynpro for abap using portal theme nw2004s, sp12; might help you.

Change the default language of an existing SAP Portal

Hi,
Our SAP Portal works with two languages, Spanish and English. The default language is Spanish, but since the company is becoming more international, we want to set the default language to English. Need to know if you can change the default language of an existing SAP Portal.
Specifically, it is the case of the standard UWL notifications, which are sent by mail in Spanish. For tasks defined in the application, the message is personalized and sent in two languages at once. However, when the task is not defined, notifications arrive in the default language, which is now Spanish. Could anyone tell me if I change it?
Thanks for the help!

Dear Marciano
I hope you are well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums .
In relation to the scenario that you have described regarding the language setting for EP and the UWL.
The language that the portal is displayed in depends on the following heirarchy, with the languages at the top of the list taking precedenceover those at the bottom:
1.Component (iview) language (defined in the portalapp.xml)
2.Portal Mandatory language (defined in the prtDefault.properties)
3.User language (defined in the user#s profile).
4.Request language (defined by the browser).
5.Portal Default language (defined in the prtDefault.properties)
6.System Default language (default locale defined by the OS).
So for example, if you have your portal user language (as in point 3)set to Czech, but the language of the iView that is the logon page (as in point 1) set to English, that logon page will be displayed in English.
Regarding the navigation path for the prtDefault.properties kindly refer to the SAP Documentation outlined below which provides a detailed summary and walkthrough regarding the language settings.

BlackBerry Browser Channel Push from SAP Portal

I have posted the following on blackberry forums, not much success, maybe some portal person can suggest how to move forward. I've taken some standard blackberry java code that pushes a web page to a blackberry device, and executed from my java vm and it works. I then put the same java code inside an AbstractPortalComponent, and executed from portal, it does not work. Read following posting on blackberry forums ...
I am attempting to implement a simple Browser Channel Push from within SAP Portal server.
I have successfully executed standard code from my local Java VM. I get the custom icon on my blackberry device, and when I click on it, it loads the web page from device cache.
I have moved the exact same code into a SAP wrapper method and executed from SAP Portal. There are no additions in my code relating to the push.
I get the custom icon on my blackberry, but when I click on it, a http request is performed every time.
Below is the MDS log for the successful push, from local java:

The differences I see:
1) The push from SAP has 15 headers compared to 13
2) The Sending and Receiving SIZE values
Can you assist me with identifying why these differences are occurring.
If I can solve these, I believe my Push from SAP will work.

hi
You can use UME API and do a force login, but I would recommend to use this only if the user is an authenticated user.
request.setAttribute(ILoginConstants.LOGON_UID_ALIAS, "userID");
UMFactory.getLogonAuthenticator().logon(request,response,"uidpwdlogon");
you can also do a force logon using
UMFactory.getAuthenticator().forceLoggedInUser(request, response);

You can find the workset under

We matched as many of the security parameters as possible* (ex. minimum password length, require one number in password, etc.). The AD parameter "User must change password at Next logon" is set ON. However, upon attempt to login to SAP Portal with the initial password that was set in AD we are not prompted to change the password. Rather, the SAP Portal logon attempt fails with message: "Authentication Denied"
Has anyone dealt with this problem before?
Other information:
*Our MarketPlace researched indicated that the SAP Portal parameter "ume.ldap.security_policy.password_change_required" (which would correspond to the AD parameter mentioned above) is no longer an available parameter for our SAP Portal version (Netweaver 7.01 SP7).
In our version of SAP Portal, the AD parameter "User must change password at Next logon" has one parameter which is similar, but does not directly correspond. The SAP Portal parameter which we do have is "No password change required". Notice this is the logical opposite of the AD parameter: AD says to require the password, whereas SAP Portal says it's NOT required. Therefore, when the AD parameter is set to ON, this results in the Portal parameter being set to OFF. Even still, we face the login failure.

You have to note here that implementing SAP IDM is only ONE of the possible options you have. The implementation of IDM in itself is a huge undertaking because of the number of systems and the decision making process involved with it.
In one of my previous implementations, when SAP IDM was not around, we had Tivoli Access Management tools which took care of the password problems.
even though we implement IDM and deploy IDM UI on Portal , still user should change password before it expires on AD right ?
Even with IDM in place, user will not be able to login to SAP portal with an expired AD password. However, in our case, we provide a link on the logon page of SAP portal to the IDM password self service application which will allow the user to change the password.
Does IDM has any feature like sending notifications before password expiration period ?
I don't think it does - however I have not explored this option in IDM since most of our users do not have email addresses and we cannot send a reminder. You should be able to create a task (with some customization) in IDM to achieve this.
Also will the IDM implementation help us in creating users with option "User should change password at next logon" on AD ?
Yes - IDM does create users with option "User should change password at next logon" in AD.
With IDM in place and tied to AD, it should be the central place of creating users. It is recommended NOT to create or manipulate the users in any target systems (SAP, AD, etc). IDM should be taking care of all the user provisioning activities.
is this like a work around to allow users to change password from Portal before it gets expired on Active Directory(AD) ?
This is not a work around - it is rather a full blown identity management solution for all your company needs.
You will get a lot of your IDM specific questions answered in the Identity Management forum.
Thanks,
Shanti

Progress indicator icon does not appear in Sap Portal

Hi experts.
Currently, i Have developed a WD ABAP which contains a progress indicator icon. When I execute this WD from backend (R/3 via SE80) the Icon progress appears while the WD is recovering data, building structure, etc...
The problem appears when I access to the scenary from SAP Portal, because from SAP Portal does not appear the Progress Icon. Someone can tell me why the icon is not appearing, and how Can i solve it???
Thank in advance.
Best regards

Hi Thomas.
First of all, thanks for your answer.
My problem is that I can obtain a progress indicator icon (a circle moving) when I am inside of my Ivew, but I need to show this icon also in the first step, during the initialization. The initialization of my scenary is a hard process which spent a lot of time, and I wonder if is possible show a Process indicator Icon while all data are being recovery. This icon is showed when I run my webdynpro in the Backend, but this icon does not appears qhen the new Internet Explorer Windows is opened.
Do you know how to show it???
Thanks again.

Changing default printer settings in SAP Portal

Hi,
When i am trying to print the report in SAP Portal, the default page setting is A3 , i need to change it to 8.5 * 11 inches.
Is it possible??
Thanks
Janc

Hi,
You can change the Page Settings in your Internet Explorer.
File --> Page Setup.
Try doing this.
Are you on BI 3.5 or 7.0?
Also, you are using the Query Designer or WAD ?
In WAD7.0 you can Export the Template with the Query and set the size as A4 or 8.5 x 11 inches.
While viewing the Query designer output also, you select the size. Default is A4.

Changing Default SMTP port in SAP Portal/Web AS java 6.40

Hi all,
We are configuring notification service in SAP Portal 6.0 with SPS 15. The SMTP server not using 25 port which is default for SMTP. when the server is trying to send notification it is pointing to IP address and 25 port. HOw can I change the default port to custom defined port in Portal/Web AS Java.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Kishore.

Hi,
may be that Im a little bit to late, but for the next one who has the same problem the solution could be interesting.
You can change the default smpt port on Web AS Java in the server parameters of the java virtual maschine.
Open the SAP J2EE Config-Tool. Goto cluster-data | instance_<instance-id> | server_<server-id>. In the tab General insert unter Java parameters the line
-Dmail.smtp.port=<port> where <port> ist the port number of your smtp server.
Testet with SAP NetWeaver Portals / SAP NW 04s and SUN Java-VM but should also work with SAP NW 04.
Greetings
Jens

Change html generated by SAP portal

Hi all
Along with our web team I am looking into re-skining the SAP portal and was just wondering if there is a way of effecting the html code generated for each page of it. I know you can change the CSS tags, images via the theme editor etc but was wondering if it was possible to actually change the html code. i.e. have the ability to remove certain <table> tags or add new div tags and assign a class to them which could them be re-styled by adding aditional code to the CSS file. Basically the more that can be accessed the better so any help/advice in this area would be much appreciated.
Regards
Mart

Hi Mart,
You can modify in the relevant .par files if you want to remove or add in the JSP file under relevant par files.
Hope it helps

Par file com.sap.portal.support.browse.par overwritten - where is original?

This is a bit embarrassing to admit but I had some serious finger trouble here and managed to deploy a new par file with name com.sap.portal.support.browse.par. This of course fu..ed up my browsing functionality in the support area and I need to deploy the original.
I tried to find it in my production portal, but I can't seem to be able to find the right location to download it from. Can anyone help.
I am on portal 7.0 sps 15.
Henning

Hi,
You can find com.sap.portal.support.browse.par par at ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/temp on the portal production server. Then you can deploy it to the development system.

Nikhil

Error inPortal Header after changing com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.par

Hi All,
Iam getting this error while trying to change "com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.par" within portal. I have updated the HeaderiView.jsp and then saved the PAR file and uploaded the file. It was successful upload from Administration console. But after I logged into portal again, I got this error and even though I tried to revert back the changes, it still gives the same error. Has any one faced similar issue? We faced this during the IE8 (Internet explorer 8) upgrade to SP 27 in sap portal.
Thanks.

Thanks Raghu.
I have tried that option as well. But, when I uploaded the PAR file from DEV to Sandbox environment, the header did not work, but I identified that the "portalapp.xml" file is only partially deployed (even though the PAR that is used for Upload (using Admin Console) contained all parameters. I could not understand why the portalapp.xml is only partially deployed.
After deployment the portalapp.xml has only 3 properties within it : ClassLoadingPolicy, value 5.0, DeploymentPolicy, value 5.0 and AuthenticationPolicy, value 5.0,
and all other attributes that are part of the uploaded par file are not present after deployment within "PAR directory within portalapps directory".

Hi Saurabh
In order to get more information, you should search for your exception id "04:45_02/10/08_0037_13390350" in the default trace file.

Hi,
Your question is not clear. Second, people are bound to get offended if words like "Urgent Requirement" or words like "clearly state the files " is used.
Please clearly state the requirements. If people know the solution they would answer it. This is not a support portal , so please make sure that you do not offend the community.

SAP Portal Framework Changes

Hello,
We are on NW EP 7.3 and trying to make the following changes as part of Look and feel/Portal Framework :
1) Change the Text 'Options' which appears as a dropdown on the Top right location of the iview next to 'Full Screen'.
2) Change the Text 'Related Links' which appears on the Detailed Navigation Panel for all the Related iviews below the actual iview.
3) Masthead - Hovering on the 'New Session' and 'Logoff' Links shows a Border/Box around the Links , how can we change that? didn't find anything in the Theme for it.
4) Looking for a way to create a Top Spacing/Padding in the 2nd Level of the Top-Level Navigation right below the 1st level Navigation to move the text in the 2nd Level down.
How can we achieve the above tasks?
Any help would be highly Appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
The screenshot looks like SAP ECC content.You may need to check the corresponding iview type, If it is a WDA iview, Find the application name from iview, Then you may have to change the the WD ABAP application in the backend.
For the theme related UI changes in Ajax framework page,Check this SAP document, If you have not come across this already.
