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

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!!

Now, to access the external site all the users should use the same credentials which I have to pass to the URL IView. could you please let me know how can I pass the user credentials to the URL IView? I have tried to use the GET method and pass the credentials still it's not working.
Any ideas to achieve this would be of great help!

Problem in Creatig the URL iview for a Team Room

Hi SDN,
<b>
I have created a team room in collaboration and created the URL iview of that team room.
But in the iview i am getting the MASTHEAD of the portal also.
But I do not want the MASTHEAD to appear.
HOW DO I GO ABOUT THIS??????
</b>
regards
Brahmachaitanya

Hi Brahmachaitanya
Well it is unfortunately not possible to just copy the link of a room and use it as reference in an URL iView. A solution we are using a Collaboration Room launching iView. We simulate the form that is used in the CLP:
<script language=\"Javascript\">
function gotoRoom(){
top.EPCM.doNavigate(\'CollaborationConnector://portal_content/com.sap.ip.collaboration/Rooms/" + room_id + "/workset?NavTargetAsRoot=true\', \'0\');
</script>
I hope this helped.

URL iView property

Can anyone tell me what the following iView property will do. "check scripts in web site objects"?

hi William,
When 'check scripts in web site objects' is enabled, the portal runtime environment put the scriplets(if any) present in the web page inside try and catch block and check for any errors. If errors are generated it would neutralize the error and display the iview content.
This property should be disabled only when you are very sure that the web page do not contain any scriplets or perfectly running scriplets.
hope my explanation is clear.
thanks and regards,

ITSmobile service pass system/port/client dynamically in the URL

Hi all,
The ITSmobile service we have created redirects to another service in different server using ~redirectURL.
so the ~redirectURL = http://splhrd398.baplc.com:8005/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/zdemo_mobile?sap-client=150
is there anyway to pass
system : splhrd398.baplc.com ( This is the name of the different server)
port no: 8005
sap-client=150
dynamically in the URL.
because when we transport the same to Testing and production. i need to know whether we have to do manually .
If you have any option to do dynamically let me know.
please throw some light,
thanks in advance

'exception thrown but not caught' error on the url iview

Hi,
EP6, we have url iview that is working fine for displaying a web application. but the problem is some of the link on the web application throws 'exception thrown but not caught' error. it happens to some of the users though.

Hi Mokone
I agree with Raghvendranath statement.
This is not portal side problem.U just using URL of that application
Also do this
Open the URLiView editor and check the Fetch Mode property value.
    Launch the same URL in a new browser window (not in the portal).
    Change the URLiView Fetch Mode property from Server-Side to Client-Side.
    The iView is using the Server-side fetching mode but no proxy is defined for the portal
Hope this info help you

How to set dynamic host name in the URL of a URL iView?

Hello,
I am using a standard URL iView that points to some J2EE app I've written and deployed on the same server.
I would like to set the host name to be a dynamic one, this way I won't need to change the iView URL when transporting it from one portal to another. As far as I know the system for a URL iView only controls authorizations but cannot replace the full URL set in the iView.
Any idea who can this be achieved?
Roy

Hi Mrityunjay,
forced URL at runtime will require me to call the URL iView from another iView that I will need to code (setting the URL in the Request object). If I did all this I might as well call it from this iView already.
I would like to do it with no further developments. I would have thought that SAP has constants that can be plugged in the URL for this type of thing, i.e. $hostname...

System on URL iView

Hello all,
I've created a System and a System alias to connect a Note Webmail. Everything is fine but when I create a URL iView, as I've read on SAP procedure, I cannot find any System alias on System combobox.
Does anybody knows why, when you edit an URL iView object, there's nothing on System combobox? I've configured a lot of System alias and gave all the permissions to the alias.
Thanks,
Andre

Hi Andre,
I tested it using Yahoo Mail and the Yahoo alias is being showed in the URL iView.
The problem can be located in the system permissions. Have you checked this issue ?
I'm getting some strange problems with this new way to implement sso to web app. The old one (appintegrator) seems to work better.

How to change the URL of a URL-iView over Code ?

Hi all,
i am getting started with the Portal-Application-Developement and want to change the URL of an URL-iView on runtime with java-code.
i have read the context and can get the Property url with this statement.
endContext.getProfile().getProperty("url")
But if i change this property, nothing is done.
endContext.getProfile().setProperty("url", "http://www.yahoo.com");
Where is my fault.
Thanks for help.
Regards Jürgen

Hi,
the context is of Type IPortalComponentContext.
I cant find no method getParameter() at the context or the profile.
The methods to read the properties of the URL-iView are
context.getProfile().getProperty("url")
context.getProfile().getAttributeValue("url")
But if i want to set (change) this attribute, nothing is done.

If is not the correct way then please suggest me best way to achive this.
Thanks
Mukesh

Hi Mukesh,
I think this may work,
1, Create a HTML Layout.
    You can put your image wherever u want with HTML Codes.
    Check this, [Article|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/3915a890-0201-0010-4981-ad7b18146f81] & [Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cc/00c93e9b2c3d67e10000000a114084/frameset.htm]
    With this, u can use the standard KM commands also.
2, U need to use KM Navigation iView for this rather than KM Doc iView.
3, In the Nav iView, u can use &rndLayoutSet=nameOfUrHTMLLayout to force the view with this new layout.

Difference: SAP BW Report iview - Query iView - URL iView

Hi,
I want to show BW reports on the portal. Can anybody suggest me the different ways of doing it ? And also let me know about checklist of steps that need to be performed.
Can anybody tell me the difference between showing BW reports through URL iviews, showing reports through Query iView and showing reports through SAP BW Report iView ?
Which one can i use for showing BW reports taking into consideration the implementation of SSO between the two? I tried the URL iView (using the Web URL of reports generated by BW) but it asks for Username/password. Is that the problem with SSO. How can i check if SSO parameters have been set or not. I have imported the verify.der to BW System and added that to ACL. Is there anything else which is required?
Thanks in advance.
Rgds,
MA

Hi Manoj,
I feel BW report iview will solve your problem. You can create a query sting in BW query designer and give the same in BW query string text area while creating BW report iview.
In the case of an url iview you are just giving a URL link of the BW report (this will ask for username/password).
But, in the case of a BW report iview you can view the required query as an iview (user mapping can be successfully done in this case) You should give fully qualified domain name in Was server option while creating the system.
While using the logon ticket Login id of both the system (ie BW and Portal) should be the same.
Refer the link for SSO using logon ticket)

EP 6 to EP 7 with URL Iview

Hello All
We are implementing Travel and Expense on EP 7 with ECC 6.0 as the back end. This is the Finance box. We have a separate HR box, ECC 5.0 using EP 6.0.
We would like to have users logon to the HR/ESS portal, click on Travel and Expenses and be sent to the EP 7 portal to enter expenses. We would like for this to happen in another screen. We are able to authenticate and display the iview in another screen which is desired. We can even do a preview of the URL Iview in EP 6 and access everything we need.
The problem is when the user logs onto the ESS portal, clicks on Travel and expense. The new screen is generated, EP 7 with our options is displayed. When you select a Service the system hangs and nothing is displayed. I have noticed that the EP6 url is in the Address field in the browser. Can anyone give me any hints as to what we are missing? Anything would be appreciated
Points will be awareded!!!!
Thanks
Ronnie

Set user Language in URL IView

Hello,
I am trying to put the Language of the user in the parameters of the URL.
For example :
http://sopraganesh.cr.infra.lab/redirect.asp?page=ECD&lang=en
How can I parameter the URL IView to automatically retrieves the language of the connected user?
Thanks for your help,
AN

Hi
Once you have defined the iViews URL to the targeted Web page, you may need to configure parameters that are passed to the information source as part of the URL. In the URL iView Editor, you can do the following to URL parameters:
·        Add, remove, and modify URL parameters
·        Determine whether or not portal end user can view and personalize URL parameters at runtime
·        Assign intuitive display names to URL parameters that are viewed or personalizable by portal end users
·        Specify the URL request method (GET or POST)
If you navigated to the targeted Web page and defined the iView URL using the portal built-in browser, the URL parameters and request method may already been defined in the URL iView Editor.
Procedure
       1.      Open the iView in the URL iView Editor.
The editor does not display URL-specific parameters in the URL address within the URL box. URL parameters that were part of the URL referencing the selected Web page (the information source) are automatically removed from the source URL and displayed in the URL parameter list in the editor. At runtime, the portal automatically appends the URL and the listed parameters to the targeted URL request.
       2.      In the Request Method option, choose either GET or POST to specify the request method. The request method indicates how the browser sends information to the information source:
Request Method
Description
GET
This request method appends parameters to the URL when the data request is sent to the information source. The server receives the data in one long query string, which typically limits the length of parameters that can be passed.
For example, a URL using the GET request method would be: http://www.google.com/search.asp?&querystring=SAP where querystring indicates the parameter identifier and SAP is the parameter value.
POST
This request method sends parameters for the URL in the header of the data request stream; parameters are not appended to the URL. This allows for long parameters to be passed to a script and parsed one element at a time.
For example, a URL using the POST request method would be: http://www.google.com/search.asp.
POST is only supported when the Fetch Method property defined in the iView is set to Server-side. For more information, see URL iView Properties.
For iViews that have a mixture of parameters sent by GET and POST together, you must:
§         Choose POST as the request method.
§         Set the Fetch Mode property to Server-side
§         Append the GET_EXPLICIT_ prefix to the parameter identifier of each parameter that is sent by GET. For example, a parameter defined as searchstring should be defined as GET_EXPLICIT_searchstring. When the iView sends a data request, the prefix is removed from the parameter identifier at runtime. Parameters sent by POST do not require a special prefix.
       3.      To add a parameter, click Add below the table. A new entry is added to the parameter list.
To remove a parameter, select the checkbox of the relevant parameter in the list and click Remove. Before doing so make sure the parameter is not required by the information source.
       4.      Define the attributes of existing or new parameters, as follows:
Attribute
Description
URL Parameter
Specifies the parameter identifier as recognized by the information source. For example, in the URL http://www.google.com/search.asp?&querystring=SAP, the parameter identifier is querystring.
As stated above, parameters that need to be sent by GET when the request method is defined as POST, must have the GET_EXPLICIT_ prefix. For example: GET_EXPLICIT_searchstring.
Enter special characters that are present in the parameter identifier as is. Do not convert them to ASCII code. For example, enter first name, and not first%20name. At runtime, the portal will encode special characters to ASCII when fetching the iView data.
Value
Specifies the value of the parameter. This is not mandatory.
If you set the parameter as a variable that can be personalizable by end users (see following attribute), then this value will be the parameters default value. However, if you set the parameter as not personalizable, then this value is the fixed value of the parameter.
Enter special characters present in the parameter value as is. Do not convert them to ASCII code.
Type
Specifies the data type of the parameter.
Choose one of the following options:
·        String: Apply this option for all data types whose property is not a mapped user name or password; for example, an integer or string.
·        Mapped User: Apply this option when the URL parameter designates a user name that is required to authenticate the user with the information source at runtime.
·        Mapped Password: Apply this option when the URL parameter designates a password that is required to authenticate the user with the information source at runtime.
§         When Mapped User and Mapped Password are selected, the Value and Personalize attributes cannot be edited.
§         If you want to enable user mapping for the user name and password parameters, in the System drop down-down list, choose an appropriate system already defined in the portal, which contains the necessary settings. See Selecting a System.
Personalize
Specifies whether or not portal end users can view the parameter and its assigned value if they personalize the iView at runtime. This attribute also allows you to determine whether or not end users can personalize the parameter value.
Choose one of the following options:
·        Hidden: The end user does not see the parameter and its value. This is the default setting.
·        Read / Write: The end user sees the parameter and is able to modify its value.
·        Read Only: The end user sees the parameter and the fixed value assigned to it. The end user cannot modify the parameter value.
Name
Specifies an intuitive display name for the parameter identifier. If you set the parameter to be viewable by end users at runtime, this name is displayed instead of the parameter identifier, which is often abbreviated and unintuitive.
This attribute is available only if Read / Write or Read Only is selected in the Personalize attribute. If you do not specify a name, the Personalize attribute will be reverted to Hidden.

Asking authentication for URL iView

We have created a room and we have created a URL iView whose URL points to that room. We have made some users as members of that group. When these users try to access this URL iview they get the authentication screen (despite being authenticated by portal initially). Is there any means we could bypass this authentication screen and show the URL iView without any authentication.Eagerly waiting for your replies.

Prathamesh Dalvi

hi,
in the url iview choose the options mapped user,mapped password and you need to do a user mapping.you also need to create a system for your 'room' application.
