Set Iview Property

Hi All,
I m trying to set the property of an iview like transaction code in a transaction iview...i found many docs to make that possible via EPCD..what i need is to set the iview property..
i have written some code also for that..
          Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
          env.put(IPcdContext.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,request.getUser());
          env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
          env.put(Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT,     PcmConstants.ASPECT_SEMANTICS);
          InitialContext ctx = null;
          DirContext dirCtx;
          List iViewList = null;
          ctx = new InitialContext(env);
com.sap.portal.pcm.iview.IiView result = (com.sap.portal.pcm.iview.IiView)ctx.lookup("portal_content/RnDCoKe/ParameterParNew");
I am getting a typecasting exception in the above code..
when i tried to display the returned object it is showing <b>com.sap.portal.pcm.iview.admin.AttributeSetiView</b>
is there anything wrong in my programming??
do i need to set any property in portal??
pls help me as this is so urgent to me...
Thanks..

IView Property: application parameter

Hello,
I have a question regarding the iView property "application parameter": how can I set several application parameters?
For example: first parameter useractionid=UAUSER; second parameter application=V01 - how can I seperate these parameters? with blank, with comma and blank or only comma, semicolon and blank or only semicolon, or anything else?
Thanks
Steffi Gründemann

Hi Steffi,
In the application URL, you can add the required parameters. First parameter followed by '?' question mark then '&' (only AND symbol). See the example below:
http://host:port/testApplication?useractionid=UAUSER&application=V01

Setting the property "Cache Level" of the pcd object to "None".

Hi all
I have an EP 6.0 on NW04 SPS 17. I need to solve a problem and found note 960975. My question is, how could we change the setting the property "Cache Level" of the pcd object to "None"? Where should I go? Is it on the NWA, Visual Admin, Configtool or somewhere else?
Many thanks before.
Regards

Hi Agoes,
By using the tool Support Desk -> Portal Content Directory -> PCD Administration you can do this. Please note that this tool should only be used in debugging situations.
There is a new section "Release a Unit from the cache cluster wide" in this tool. With this new functionality, you can remove an object from the cache on all nodes in the cluster. If the object is still in use, it will be reread immediately from the database
Releasing the entire PCD cache can severely affect performance. Hence, if there are inconsistencies suspected with a single object, e.g. a role or an iview, the new section "Release a Unit from the cache cluster wide" can be used to evict the given object from the cache on all nodes in the cluster.

System option is empty in the url iview property editor

hi
I wanted to create a URL iview. I would also like to specify the System for the url iview. But when I go to the URL iview property editor, when I select the dropdown list next to system, there are no systems listed.
Please explain me how to make the system available for the url iview.
Thanks for the help
-Mike

Hi,
Can you detail your requirement. URL iviews are iviews in which you can set any URL and the iview will connect directly to it. So, you cannot force set the URL iview to use a System.
I guess you are trying to call some BW report. For this you can try to create an iview based on component
com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap and then select the application. In this iview you should be able to specify the system.
Cheers!!

Permanent change of iView property programmatically

Hallo,
I used this code to change iView property from another iView:
private IPcmObject getPcdObject( IPortalComponentRequest pRequest, String pPcdUrl ) throws NamingException
                    IPcmObjectService pcdFactory = (IPcmObjectService) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService( IPcmObjectService.KEY );
                    Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
                    env.put( Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY );
                    env.put( Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, pRequest.getUser() );
                    IPcmObjectBuilder pcmSrv = pcdFactory.getInitialContext(env);
                    try {
                         return( (IPcmObject)pcmSrv.lookup(pPcdUrl) );
                    catch (NamingException e) {
                         throw e;
          public void onButtonClick_CV(Event event) throws Exception
                                                  IPortalComponentRequest aRequest =
                              (IPortalComponentRequest) this.getRequest();
               IPcmObject obj = null;
                         String iView = "portal_content/Example/com.example";
                                   try {
                                   obj = getPcdObject(aRequest, iView);
                              } catch (NamingException e) {
                                   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                                   e.printStackTrace();
                              obj.getAttributes().put("StartUri","/documents");
                              obj.getAttributes().put("path","/documents");
..... and when I access property by obj.getAttributes().get("StartUri"), I get right result: "/documents". But this is not permanent change of iView property - when I access this property later, I get old value of this property.
Does somebody knows how to made changes permanent?

Hi All,
I want to read and modify the property of one iview from another iview.
I wrote the following code. but,I am not able to print any property from get method....
How to get and set any property of the iview.

Setting iView Parameters

Hello,
I have an issue with setting iView Parameters. I do the following:
response.write("Converting...<br/>");
                              iiv.putAttribute("ApplicationParameter","queryid="+request.getParameter("queryid"));
                              try
                                   iiv.save();
                                   iiv.notifyAll();
                              }catch (ValidationException ve)
                                   response.write(ve.toString());
                              catch (IOException ie)
                                   response.write(ie.toString());
However, when I see the iView properties in the portal the value is not changed. When reading the value programatically, it is changed. Are there two of them or do I have a caching issue here?
I already tried clearing browser cache and so forth, but problem remains.
My code is supposed to change iView-ApplicationParameters..

Hi,
I found all information I needed in help.sap.com.
So I wrote a little portal component to update a custom iview parameter and it is working fine for me.
Here's my code:
Sharing References:
<property name="SharingReference" value="com.sap.portal.ivs.api_iview,com.sap.portal.pcd.glservice,com.sap.portal.pcm.admin.apiservice"/>
Custom Parameter in portalapp.xml
<component-profile>
<property name="AuthScheme" value="anonymous"/>
<property name="MTAGCustom" value="Test"/>
</component-profile>
and my Java Code to update(change the value:
Imports:
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import com.inqmy.lib.xml.parser.dtd.ValidationException;
import com.sap.portal.directory.Constants;
import com.sap.portal.pcm.admin.PcmConstants;
import com.sap.portal.pcm.iview.IiView;
import com.sapportals.portal.pcd.gl.IPcdContext;
Code Snippet:
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, request.getUser());
env.put(Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, PcmConstants.ASPECT_SEMANTICS);
InitialContext iCtx = null;
try
String iViewID = "pcd:portal_content/com.mtag.test/com.mtag.testcomponent";
iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
IiView myIView =(IiView)iCtx.lookup(iViewID);
myIView.putAttribute("MTAGCustom","newValue");
myIView.save();
myIView.notifyAll();
} catch(Exception Ex) {
Ex.printStackTrace();
I deployed the component and create an IView from PAR. I started the iView in Preview Mode and the Custom Parameter "MTAGCustom" now has the new Value "newValue"
Let me know if it helps (Reward Points are appreciated if helpful

Is their a way to set system property in weblogic console

Hi WL USERS
Is their a way to set system property in weblogic console ie (http://localhost:8080/console) ? if yes, can we access that property in code using System.getProperty()?
Regards
vishy

Yes, It is Possible.
Please check the Option-1). Mention in the Following Link: http://weblogic-wonders.com/weblogic/2010/03/26/nodemanager-based-managedservers-setting-mem_args/
Here i tried to set a Custom Property "*-Duser.dir=E:/MyDirectory*" through the Admin Console.
NOTE: Setting any Option like JAVA_OPTIONS/CLASSPATh etc through Admin Console will work only when you start your Servers using the NodeManager. It means when you start your ManagedServers through AdminConsole...or Using nodeManager based WLST scripts.

Set item property to false and true

when i set item to false and then set item property to true. The item is displayed but its gray out and not enabled. Am i missing something
Set_Item_Property('PUSH_BUTTON_SAVE',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_FALSE);
and then
Set_Item_Property('PUSH_BUTTON_SAVE',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_TRUE);

Check the Forms online help on Set_Item_Property, near the bottom in the usage notes. Lots of things happen when you set visible to False:
Setting DISPLAYED to False:
sets the Enabled and Navigable item properties to False
sets the Updateable item property to False
sets the Update_Null item property to False
sets the Required item property to False
sets the Queryable item property to False
So you may need to set more of them back to true in your code when you want to make it re-display.

How do I set ClientCredentials property to windows credentials?

As per MSDN
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/92a9678c-bc4f-4d7a-ba44-85989bfe27ca
Building Applications Using the Reporting Web Service and the .NET Framework we have to set Credentials as below
ReportingService2010 rs = new ReportingService2010();
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
However, after creating the proxy I don't see proxy has Credentials property as MSDN says. The proxy has ClientCredentials property but it is not derived from ICredentials
I'm using http://serverurl/ReportServer/ReportService2010.asmx
How do I set ClientCredentials property to windows credentials in this case?

But i dont see "Add web reference" option.
Have you read the link I posted? "Add Service Reference" => button "Advanced" => "Add Web Reference"
to check if the folder already exists
Sure, with

Windows installer sets VersionNT property to 603

Hello,
OS: Windows 10 Technical Preview
I've got msi package, which has LaunchConditions based on VersionNT(64) property, but installer sets this property to 603 (corresponding to Win8.1\2012r2). I wrote custom action, where I call VerifyVersionInfo function, and on 9879 build it worked,
but starting from 9926 It doesn't. It seems that VerifyVersionInfo now requires proper GUID in manifest file, that is not possible for binary custom action. What is the proper way to detect Windows 10 version in msi package?
I tried to ask this question at Windows Insider Program, but i was suggested to ask it here.
Thank you.

[solved] Using xprop to set a property

xprop(1) has a "-set" option. I can't figure out how to use it. The "surf" browser is scriptable by setting a property named "_SURF_URL" to the URL you want it to load. I've tried these:
$ xprop -id 14680096 -set _SURF_URL http://www.google.com
xprop: error: unsupported conversion for _SURF_URL
$ xprop -id 14680096 -f _SURF_URL STRING -set _SURF_URL http://www.google.com
xprop: error: Bad format: STRING.
(The "id" is the one printed by "surf -x", and is correct, since I can use it to read properties.)
How do I use this?
Last edited by ataraxia (2009-08-12 14:55:01)

The -f option isn't that straightforward... see the description of 'format' and 'dformat' in xprop(1).
This should work:
xprop -id 14680096 -f _SURF_URL 8s -set _SURF_URL http://www.google.com

Setting SpaceAfter property with Word ActiveX

I am using the wordreport and Microsoft Word Object 9.0 Object Library instruments to generate a report. I would like set the paragraph Space Before and Space After properties before generating my report. In Word this is part of the paragraph formatting options. I want to set both to 0 for my report. According to the documentation on MSDN, these properties are part of the Paragraph collection in the ActiveX (the following is from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb208789%28v=office.12%29.aspx):
Switching the space before a paragraph between 12 points and none
The following example toggles the space-before formatting of the first paragraph in the selection. The macro retrieves the current space before value, and if the value is 12 points, the space-before formatting is removed (the SpaceBefore property is set to zero). If the space-before value is anything other than 12, the SpaceBefore property is set to 12 points.
Sub ToggleParagraphSpace()
With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
If .SpaceBefore <> 0 Then
.SpaceBefore = 0
Else
.SpaceBefore = 6
End If
End With
End Sub
I cannot find a function in the ActiveX library that sets this property. There are several Paragraph and Selection formatting functions, but none for Space Before or Space After. Is it possible to set these properties through the ActiveX control?
Tony G.

Daniel,
Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. I didn't realize it was hidden in the SetProperty function. It seems odd that the ActiveX library includes paragraph formatting functions like ParagraphFmtTabIndent and ParagraphFmtSpace1, but it doesn't have explicit functions for SpaceBefore and SpaceAfter.
For the benefit of anyone else who might be following this thread, I had to add a few functions to get some additonal ActiveX collection handles. Here's what the final code looks like:
** GenerateLogFile **
void GenerateLogFile(void)
    CAObjHandle DocHandle;
    CAObjHandle AppHandle;
    CAObjHandle CurrentSelectionHandle;
    CAObjHandle ParagraphFormatHandle;
    WordRpt_ApplicationNew(VTRUE, &AppHandle);
    WordRpt_DocumentNew (AppHandle, &DocHandle);
    WordRpt_SetReportLineSpacing (DocHandle, 1);
    Word_GetProperty (AppHandle,
                      NULL,
                      Word_ApplicationSelection,
                      CAVT_OBJHANDLE,
                      &CurrentSelectionHandle);
    Word_GetProperty (CurrentSelectionHandle,
                      NULL,
                      Word_SelectionParagraphFormat,
                      CAVT_OBJHANDLE,
                      &ParagraphFormatHandle);
    Word_SetProperty (ParagraphFormatHandle, NULL, Word_ParagraphsSpaceBefore, CAVT_FLOAT, 0.0);
    Word_SetProperty (ParagraphFormatHandle, NULL, Word_ParagraphsSpaceAfter, CAVT_FLOAT, 0.0);
// create report using functions like WordRpt_AppendLine and WordRpt_InsertImage
    CA_DiscardObjHandle(AppHandle);
    CA_DiscardObjHandle(DocHandle);
    CA_DiscardObjHandle(CurrentSelectionHandle);
    CA_DiscardObjHandle(ParagraphFormatHandle);
} /* GenerateLogFile */
I have one last problem. I've run this program on three different PCs. All three are running the same versions of Windows 7 and Word 2007. And yet on one of the three PCs, the WordRpt_InsertImage function doesn't work. All the other text in the log file is present, but the bitmaps don't get inserted. I thought that maybe there was a difference in the ActiveX control versions, but I can't find a way to determine what version of the ActiveX is intalled on each machine. Or is there something else I should be looking at?
