Shortening the Portal URL - How To?

We all start out with http://www.myportalserver.com:7778/pls/portal
I want to end up giving my customers:
http://www.myportalserver.com
So that means I need to redirect requests that come in to port 80, correct? I did that but WebCache doesnt like it. I tried to add a listening port other than 7778, and it freaked.
Anything I do with WebCache ends up not working.
I am trying this in Oracle Portal 9.0.4 (10gAS) on Linux
Thanks

Settings for ports are made in httpd.conf
I had a look in my httpd.conf (albeit on a Solaris system) and the following comment may help:
# Port: The port to which the standalone server listens. # For ports < 1024, you will need httpd to be run as root initially.
Looks like you will have to kick off httpd.conf as root in order to get it to use Port 80

How to pass username and password with the portal url

i want to access portal from my web site. i have created username and password fields in my web page. when submited , my portal page should open. so how to pass username and password with the portal url.

This is not straightforward; but it is doable.
First tell us about your portal version; portal 10.1.4 has a slightly different method of doing it and the pre-10g portals were completely different animals.
And if you are in AS Rel 2, then the most important document for you would probably be the following:
[Creating Deployment Specific Pages| http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/idmanage.1012/b14078/custom.htm#i1015535]
You might want to use it in conjunction with some metalink notes about your portal version and such a login page.
hope that helps!

How to shorten WebCenter Portal URL

Hi everyone.
I'm developing webcenter portal application and I face to problem with unfriendly URL. Previously, I can use URL compression and URL template on WebLogic Portal. But, when switch to WebCenter Portal, I cannot found any solution to compress/shorten the URL. So that, many problems occured with very very long URL (larger than maximum limit filepath of filesystem, larger than 1024 character). So, have you ever tried to do it ? Can you give me some instruction ?
Any suggestion is appreciated :)
Regards.
Cuong Pham

As far as I know, there is no real solution. Oracle ADF uses the parameters that are part of the URL.
Have a read here:

Getting the Portal URL in the code

Hi All,
Is it possible to get the URL of the Enterprise Portal (http://<host>:<port>/irj/portal) in the web dynpro code?
Actaully i am sending mails from my application to various users and need to include the URL of the Enterprise Portal in the mail.
How to go with this? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi,
If you build the mail message from your dynpro application than you can use this code to get the server name and port:
String hostName = TaskBinder.getCurrentTask().getProtocolAdapter().getServerName();
int port = TaskBinder.getCurrentTask().getProtocolAdapter().getServerPort();
String url = "http://" + hostName + ":" + port + "/irj/portal";
Hope it helps,

Domain mapping for the portal URL | URGENT

Hi ,
The project is expected to go live in 10 days .The user would be accessing the portal with the URL http://domain.company.com and NOT by http://domain:50000/irj/portal . I need to figure out how can we do that .
We have a WAN network and a public ip has been assigned to the portal production server .We have a company domain reserved to be used for portal server .
What will be required to be done on the portal side or anywhere else for the URL http://domain.company.com to translate to http://domain:50000/irj/portal
Regards
Deepak Singh

Hi Deepak,
You can achieve this by setting up Reverse Proxy in your DMZ such that all internet request hit the reverse proxy server and that re-routes request to your Portal server.
If you want to avoid all these, you can use Html Redirection or Java Script redirection features.
a. Point your request https://abc.comp.com to this html file which would inturn redirect to abc.comp.com:50001/irj/portal.

The portal url appears in external links in XML Forms

Hi,
I have created an XML Forms application that should contain a link to an external webpage.
In the Edit view I have created 2 text fields.
1 for the url and 1 urlname for the name of the link.
In the Show view I have created a link (Lable) with:
Hyperlink property: /DataSchema/DataModel/url
Schema Reference: /DataSchema/DataModel/urlName
Style : Function Link
When I run the application It renders the link as a link with the urlname as the name of the link.
Great !! ;0)
...but when clicking on the link it open up a new window with the portal URL + the specified url:
E.g.
Test data:
Name: Google
URL: http://www.google.com
Result:
http://<portalurl>:58000/irj/portal/http://www.google.com
Why does this happen? And what can I do in order to open up the new window with just the url that I have provided (http://www.google.com)
Thanks for any help !
Best regards
Rasmus

Hi All and thanks for all help
But..
The thing is that it has nothing to do with the application.
E.g. I have tested the SAP_APP_FAQs forms application delivered by SAP.
This forms application has an external link called Read more When I test this forms application everything is OK. It opens up the target URL in a new window e.g. http://www.google.com
This is exactly what I want so I make a copy (save as) of the project. I run the application and believe it or not I got the wrong result: http://<portalurl>:58000/irj/portal/http://www.google.com
I have not made any changes of the application!!
Can any tell me whats wrong?
Thanks in advance
Best regards

Changing the portal URL of EP 6.0 SP 9

Hi,
our portal runs on an windowshost. At the moment we access the portal through the windows hostname. but we need to change the url to an internet address.
My question where can i configure the url the portal uses in his links? Where can it be set up or does it just use the windows related hostname ?
Cu

Hi Francesco.
You will have to use a reverse proxy such as SAP IISProxy or Apache to use a different URL then the one the portal uses internally.
If you setup a DNS record that points to the Windows server, you could run into trouble with SSO and KM.
There are many threads about this in the SDN, try to search for "external facing portal" or "reverse proxy".

When i use images in an applet, it shows the image url, how do i remove it?

Ok, so when i open up an applet, and it uses images, it shows the url for each image, which is not good because my graphics could get stolen. Is there anyway to disable this?, i have never noticed it before.

I notice the following from the documentation for one of the [ImageIcon constructors|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/ImageIcon.html#ImageIcon(java.net.URL)]: "Creates an ImageIcon from the specified URL. The image will be preloaded by using MediaTracker to monitor the loaded state of the image. The icon's description is initialized to be a string representation of the URL."
I guess if you are using this - or something similar - Java runtimes might decide to show the string representation of the URL while they are loading the image. In this particular case there is another form of the constructor which allows you to actually set the description string.

Its loading a page before even i type in the right URL. how can i prevent forefox from automatically loading the suggested page before i hit enter?

when i type in address bar, its great that the url is automatically filled in based on the history of browsing. but i dont want the page to be loading at the same instant. for ex. if i want to type thehindu.com, once i type 't' its taking for granted that i am typing thermopedia.com and completes the url and loads the page at the same time. I appreciate the url suggestion but not the page loading at the same time. this wastes my data usage (Highly inefficient).
To complicate the problem, when i type the second letter sometimes it gets appended to the already auto completed url and heads to search for the completely messy words in the default search engine.
Basically the addressbar has become useless and so is firefox usage. I'm completely frustrated and spoiled over an hour fighting the issue. please provide options to control the loading of the page automatically even if the url is automatically filledin.

Try some basic troubleshooting.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode". 
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

How to catch URL parameter from Portal URL in Web Dynpro iView

Hi All,
I have a web dynpro application running as a portal iView successfully. Now the client wants to make it internationalized with 7 languages. Currently they access the portal - and via role assignment they get to the portal tab with the wd iView. Now they want to send a parameter for the language key with the portal URL. So when they are typing in http://myportal.mydomain.com now they want to type in http://myportal.mydomain.com?sap-locale=de or so. My question is how can I catch this parameter in the WD application when it is running inside a portal iView? Is it at all possible?
I have written a very small application which is trying to catch a URL parameter named PARAM. The code I have written is the default one as below:
String paramValue = WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter().getRequestParameter("PARAM");
When I run the application standalone and add the PARAM=something in last of the URL I can catch it. But when I create an iView and while previewing it I add the same PARAM value it is coming as null all the time. Same when I add this iView to a role and show it via role assignment in protal. Please help to let me know how to achieve this. I think if I can read the parameter value from Portal URL in the WD iView - then I can set it as the default locale of the application and then show language specific file to achieve internationalization.
Your urgent help will be highly appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Shubho

Hi Shubhadip
Even if you get the parameters, how do you internationalize your application? Are you not following the standard way as described in the following link. In this case you never need to capture any such parameter. This is done by the WD runtime automatically .
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/f4/d95664da179b4db731e21c2e470b72/frameset.htm">Internationalization of WD projects</a>
You can retrieve application parameters specified at the creation of iview by "adding parameters(with the same name as in iview application parameters) to the default plug of the Component Interface View of the WD application". "onDefaultPlug" method of the interface view controller you get these values as parameters, which you can save in the context node of component controller for later use.This is guaranteed to work.
But again this is not what you want exactly. You want the user to specify the value at runtime. If you have just 7 languages, you can create 7 set of iviews with different application parameter value indicating language key, and assign to 7 different set of roles, each representing one set of users with common language.
I hope you find a solution.

How can we call Tcode from the Portal?

Senario:
2 BAPIs are developed:
1. The information say... ABC is stored into the table from the portal using the Create BAPI.
2. The change in this ABC information is done using a particular Tcode say xyz. This is a report that calls the change BAPI inside.
The ABC information change will be done either through the Tcode in ECC or through the EP.
3. The Tcode has been created in ECC.
Please let me know who will be responsible to call this tcode from the Portal and how?
I am very very new to EP field so please help...

Hi Jignesh,
If you have already performed these steps and are able to see the iview that you have created. Then I think your issue has been sorted out.
To explain it to you in detail.
Let us suppose, you have created a SAP Transactional iview to access the TCODE-SE38.
Now, as soon as the user clicks on the iview, it will authenticate by asking for the username and password for the backend system...if your SSO is not in place.
Now, if your asking me how to make the iview visible.
You can add assign this SAP transactional iview to a page,a workset or a role and add the corresponding page, workset or role to the user in USER ADMINISTARTION by making it an entry point.
Or to make the iview as an entry point, right click on the iview that you have created and open the properties, then for the option that says entry point choose yes.
I guess that answers your question.
Let me know if you have need any further clarifications on the same.

Sandeep

Hello Vijay,
If you are interested in a 3rd party application with all the stats you need and more, check out Click Stream by Sweetlets. Easy to download and user friendly with many key reports quickly accessible. It also answers some of the questions you had above a whole lot simpler than anything else out there or any other route you had in mind.
In the very near future Click Stream will also have iView recording to monitor iViews, telling which iViews have been clicked, etc. Also, the one you were looking for, "who the last login into the portal", will soon be added.
Click Stream uses the Usermanagement (UME) API to get more information about the user, groups, roles, LDAP attributes etc. and offers you the ability to use such information for filtering within any report.
Click Stream also uses the PCD API to get information about the pages your users are visiting.
Here are some reviews on the SAP EcoHub from people who have used it: http://ecohub.sdn.sap.com/irj/ecohub/solutions/clickstream
