Service Linked to iViews

Hi,
Can you tell me how from an iView i can check which service of ESS it is calling from backend.I can see the iView properties in PCD but cant find out which service at backend its calling.
Regards
Poonam

Hi,
This is the FM which gets called when Homepage Framework is Invoked:
HRXSS_SER_GETMENUDATA
Put a debugger and see what all services are getting called when you open the ESS.
Alternatively when you open the Role first page after the workset will have Menu Area - you can track which Subarea page is added to area page and services added to Subarea Page..
For Example: Employee Self-Service Role - Employee Search Workset - Employee Search page - within the iView you will see Application Parameter which have Menu Area
sap.xss.menuarea=EMPLOYEE_SEARCH_ERP2005&sap.xss.menuargrp=SAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005&sap.xss.menuhdr=SAPDEFAULT
Menu Area = EMPLOYEE_SEARCH_ERP2005
You can go to SPRO - Cross-Application Components - Homepage Framework - Subareas - Assign Subareas to Areas and
Once you get the Subarea you can go to Services - Assign Services to Subarea and see all the services.
Hope this helps.

Pramod

Custom Help Service link

Dear Guru's,
Iam into a ESS support project, my issue is when employee logs into ESS portal and navigates through Record working time ==> Time Accounts, he has to view a customized Help link on the top right corner.
FYI...Help links are also customised via home page frame work. how ever these are done for all the services and all other services (Help Links) like Emp Search n Change own data are working fine.
I have issue with only Time Accounts & Salary Statement. kindly help.
Regards,
Priya Ram

You are over thinking it. For our solution, we don't use the "Help Link" feature of the Homepage Framework due to inconsistency of how it works, no control over it, and the inability to put multiple links.
Instead, we added another iView to each page that displays above the ESS service's main iView (like timesheet). In that iView, we link it to a HTML page in KM (but can be whereever you like). It displays our simple HTML page which we coded to have our "help links"....as well as images/icons, and additional text (like "for more information, call the Help Line at 1-555-555-5555"). Much nicer this way I think.
Hope this helps.

Silverlight 5 and WCF Ria Services Link Visual Studio 2012

Hi, I have a Visual Studio 2010 Project, I installed Visual Studio 2012 and Opened the Project with VS 2012. I can run the Project without issues but at design time the Web Project is no recognized as a valid reference.
My Silverlight application has a WCF RIA Services link to this Project. If I switch to Visual Studio 2010 I have not design time errors.
Why in Visual Studio 2012 my Silverlight 5 Project shows a message indicating the Web Project namespace does not exists?
Obiously the reference does not exists because is a WCF RIA Services link and VS Should infer the namespace.
I've notice that the generated code is being created with the right namespace, it's just that Visual Studio 2012 is not recognizing the classes in the generated code.
Help please.

Hi,
You need add web service again for VS-2012. You can see the step by step process

Hope it will help you.

Using the Service Link Database adapter

I had a question regarding the use of the Service Link database adapter. We've configured an adapter that will write rows to a certain table in an oracle database. The rows are written into the table correctly. I've also configure the inbound portion of the database adapter to retrieve records but there are 2 problems.
1. When creating the SQL that is used to poll the database table, I'm not able to use the channel id namespace. According to the manuals and training materials that I have reviewed, it looks like you should be able to call #channelid# in your query and the system should automatically translate that. I've tried #channelid#, #channel-id#, and #ChannelID# but if doesn't seem to covert the value to the actual channel ID. Can you use namespaces in the polling query?
2. If I setup the queries without namespaces, I can get into the next step where it excutes the sucessful or failed sql query. I setup a simple transformation that automatically closes the assocaited task when the query is run. I then setup a SQL statement to delete all rows in the table (I only did this because I could not target a row without the channelid namepsace working). The problem is that when I submit a task that uses the agent, the agent polls the database and finds the task. The agent then closes the asscaited task, per my transformation, but when it goes to delete all rows in the table, the rows are not removed. If I execute the same SQL using the same account in a SQLPlus window, the rows are deleted so I think that my SQL is good. I'm not sure why it does not work and the only message in the log is:
2010-07-08 15:52:23,677 DEBUG [com.newscale.is.adapter.db] [ AgentId-5 ] Fetched 1 new records
2010-07-08 15:52:23,804 ERROR [com.newscale.is.adapter.db] Outbound Message Failed to deliever
This is my SQL: delete from rcowner.rcapprovals where STATUS_code='Registered'
Any help or advice is apprecaited.
Tim

Hi Tim -
The namespace that you can use comes from the SELECT SQL statement. So you need to write out the Channel ID into a field in the db table (you need it around anyway for the transformation). Then the inbound SQL needs to include the channel ID field in the select statement. Then the success/failure SQL statements can reference the channel ID field from the inbound SQL.
Inbound example: SELECT CHANNEL_ID FROM MYTABLE WHERE STATUS = 2
success example: UPDATE MYTABLE SET STATUS=3 WHERE CHANNEL_ID=#channel_id#
(Note that it seems to convert field names to all lower case. And the #channel_id# is just referencing the field from the other query -- it isn't a namespace or anything.)
Your delete statement probably isn't working because the db connection is still using the records from the inbound query. Its looping through each record from the inbound query and performing the transformation, then running the success/failrue sql before going onto the next record.

Link to iview or page in content area

hello,
can i have links to iviews or pages in the content area? if yes, how do i do that?
thx
irina
points will be given for any answer that helps

Hi Galan,
One way that you can link to an iview is by using what's called a Quick Link. Open up the properties to the iview that you want to link to, give a name to your iview in the 'Quick Link' field, and then save your changes. Then, use a url like this to access your quick link:
https://portal.mydomain.com/irj/portal/MyQuickLink
For example, if we named our Quick Link 'MyApplication', our url would look like this:
https://portal.mydomain.com/irj/portal/MyApplication
Give it a try. I hope this helps!

Links List iView: Hiding the "Organize Entries" Command

Hi all!
I am using the Links List iView to display some corporate links. This iView shows an "Organize Entries" control to update the list by default. However, in my requirement, i need to hide this command from the end user. I have taken a look on the Layout Sets involved and have not found this control; Also, i've seen on the Help System that if i change the permissions on the folder, the iView hides this control, but i've tried that and it didn't work.
Do you know how can i hide this control?
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Thiago

Hi Thiago,
I am not sure if I understood your question correctly.
When you click on 'Advanced Copy', you have several options: you can add a prefix or a suffix to the name of the LayoutSet or you can replace a prt of the name. You can find more information on this issue on help.sap.com: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/30/562cbf45c5b440a2885877a1c230d5/frameset.htm

Server-side workflows against Service Link updated parameter/data

Is there a way to attach any server-side workflows to service link inbound updates/data other than what is available via parameter mapping and prebuilt functions? I need to manipulate a piece of data that is being updated in to a field by service link inbound message beyond what is available via prebuilt functions...
Thanks.

I could probably do it in the XSL, but my goal is to keep the agent configuration, parameter mappings and transformation generic as possible so that it can be reused without modification. For example, I have agent configuration for interacting with an external system, that is passing a certain number of parameters back and forth, but the actual use of these paramters may be different from one service or task to another that is interfacing with this same external system. So the parameter I need to add some logic to for this instance of the task may be representing something different from another task call, even if same parameter is used to carry that data across.
Adding the logic and manipulation in the transformation will work for us if we can override and use different transformation in the task plan settings, similar to how we can override the parameter mappings, but that is not available today...

Soap transformation example for Service Link

Does anyone have a transformation example of a SOAP?
I have been trying to build my trandformation, but I either get a NULL output or all of the data from the newScale output.
Thank you

Hi Daniel, I've attached two sample XSL files, an outbound and inbound. As you may already know, the 'payload' of the outbound XML depends on what's required by the external endpoint (3rd party system you're connecting to).

Customizing Link Lists (or Links List) iView

Our Links List iView holds large number of subfolders and links.
By default, the iView shows links and first level subfolders with their links and subfolders.
Otherwords second level subfolders are 'open'.
The problem is that because there are so many links, the iView height is not big enough to show first level links and folders (scrolling required).
Is there any way to set Links List iView so that it doesn't open second level folders unless users click on them?
Thanks!
Rob

Hi,
You can use image map to navigate for km. But you can not do that you want. To do that you can modify this image map collection renderer.

Service Link agent display text color

Within "Control Agents" in Service Link, if an agent is showing with black text instead of blue, what does that signify? We're encountering an error when submitting power operations request within the portal, although the requisition completes successfully and the power operation is executed in vSphere. From the PSC Server log:
10:11:45,609 ERROR [org.jboss.naming.remote.protocol.v1.RemoteNamingStoreV1] (Remoting "config-based-naming-client-endpoint" task-3) Channel end notification received, closing channel Channel ID a5918a4d (outbound) of Remoting connection 79459613 to null
10:11:45,610 INFO [org.jboss.as.naming] (Remoting "pmcnjrtestcat01" task-3) JBAS011806: Channel end notification received, closing channel Channel ID 25918a4d (inbound) of Remoting connection 477ff798 to /10.179.25.170:49477
The "Manage Virtual Server" agent is showing as black instead of blue like the other agents. At one point PO had to be restarted and the agent went to blue for a short time, but then changed back to black.

The code "BSSCPopup" indicates the link you are using is a hyperlink displaying as an autosizing popup, not a Text Only Popup, which is something different again.
I believe the link colour is defined by the "Hyperlink" styles. These styles also control the regular (non-popup) hyperlinks, though so you'd be changing both at once. In the CSS they'd be plain A definitions, or maybe something like A:active, A:visited, etc.
You might be able to do what you want by creating a new Character style and manually applying it to any hyperlinks that you make a popup style.

CCP 9.4 - Service Link Status

Hello there,
I recently configured CCP 9.4 on our lab.
I was able to connect to CCP portal successfully with domain name and checked the Service Link status was green, but when i change the domain name to WORKGROUP after that i didn't get the Service Link status green and it was red.
So, i checked on log file and i also saw error message on running Jboss server regarding to unable to connect with this error :
" Unable to connect to 'http://abc.xyz.com:8080/Integration
ver/ISAdminServlet?action=iseeConnectionStatus&ObjectInstId=0': java.net.UnknownHostException: abc.xyz.com01519689514078465::***Error::CommunicationsBase: Unable to connect to 'http://abc.xyz.com:8080/Integration
ver/ISAdminServlet?action=iseeConnectionStatus&ObjectInstId=0': java.net.UnknownHostException: abc.xyz.com "
here, abc=my hostname , xyz.com=domain name
so, to change this "abc.xyz.com" to "abc" because now my server was under WORKGROUP, what file i need to edit. So, i will get green status of Service Link.
I also attach the images of the error.
I appreciate you direction.

Krupesh

Hi Lim,
It isn't clear from you description what the problem is. Can you contact TAC and provide the details?

Homepageframework: Service-Links don't work with one particular user

Hi,
when I'm logged in with my user, all the service links on overviewpages do not work. When I do a click on one of them, nothing happens. It works fine with every other user, who is logged in.
It must be a user-dependend problem. What's wrong with my user?
Thanks for every hint on how to get rid of this issue.
Regards
CHRIS

Hi,
In Portal there is a Group Administrators try assigning that to your user and see.
And Did you try assigning Everyone role to the user and see.
Try clearing the Browser cache and see and even that doesn't work try this option.
This might sound crazy: did you try to check in Another system with the user for whom it is not working? and if it works in other system sometimes there might be issue with User Local profile on the system that causes this kind of issue.
Recently we had similar issue, In others system I am able to login and it works fine just in my system it didn't work.
Hope this helps.
