The Use of Folders in Portal Favorites iView

I have enabled the Portal Favourites and one of the functionality this provides is to create Folders within Favourites. The user can create links in the folders to organise their favourites. I am experiencing problems adding folders, by clicking on the 'Folder Name' an error occurs stating the page can not be found. I am unable to set the property of 'Clicking Folder Name launches First Node' to 'False without clearing'.
When adding a folder to the favourites I get the 'page can not be found' error. If any one has resolved a similar issue could you please inform me how:
a) After you have created a folder, the Portal Page appears? (without the 'page cannot be displaye' error)
b) How to Enable the 'Clicking Folder Name Launches First Node' setting
c) When opening the portal page the Folder Favourites should appear collapsed (at the moment the folder and contents appear expanded).
Thanks

Hello,
Check in the properties of your Favorites iview, that the parameter "Layout Set" is set to "PortalFavoritesExplorer" and the parameter "Layout Set Mode" is set to "force".
Now change the PortalFavoritesCollectionRenderer parameter Initial displayed tree level = 1.
Refresh your browser and login again. You should see the changes take effect.

Created Folders in portal favorites iView automaticly open

Hi,
if we create new folders in the iView portal favorites, the folders are automaticly open! Does anybody know how to change that, so that the folders are closed, when we open the iView? I tried to change the Layout Set "portalfavoritesexplorer", but I didn't get forward!

Portal Favorites iview always appear in detailed navigation

Hello,
I have a problem regarding the Detailed Navigation with the Portal Favorites iview.
The iview always appears in the Detailed Navigation, although the only thing it shows is the message "there are no items to display" (meaning that there are no favorites). This causes the detailed navigation to always appear even when there is no need for it (no navigation links and no other content attached to it).
I tried removing the Portal Favorites iview (because we don't use that iview in the portal and have no need for it) from the innerpage of the default framework page, and it works, but after the next restart of the portal, the iview returns.
Is there any way to remove it completely so that it won't appear again?
We're running EP7 SP14.
Thanks in advance,
Tal.

Hi,
Create a new framework page by creating a delta link of the original page and then modify that framework page.
Also you will have to create a new portal desktop and use the modified page and also set the desktop rules accordingly.

Difference between "Favorites"- & "Portal Favorites"-iView

Hi SDN
Can anybody tell me the difference between the km-iView "Favorites" and "Portal Favorites"?
Also, when I enable the "Favorites"-iView a caption between the Favorites-entries and the Tray is added. How can I remove this?
And: The layout of the Favorites-iView-entries is different from those of the Portal-Favorites-iView-entries (the space between the list-dot and the text). It seems not to be affected the same way by the Complex Items -> Tree settings in Theme Editor.
Thanks in advance
Michael

As I found out the LayoutSet-Setting is responsible for the display.
In Favorites-iView the default LayoutSet was LinkListExplorer. After I changed it to PortalFavoritesExplorer the space between dot-and-text vanished along with the "Favorites"-caption - but sadly the "Organize Entries" Link on the bottom disappeared, too...
I think I have to play around a bit with LayoutSets
Main parts of the question already answered...
What still remains is the question about the acutal difference between these iViews.

How to edit the short navigation url in portal favorite folder in bulk

Hi,
We have around 100-150 users who have added a specific url in their portal favorite section. This url has changed now and we need to update the same for all the users. We tried using various search and replace tools by connecting using portaldrive. We even wrote a KM API which will do the search and replace. But both these programs are not able to change the .url files whih are created from KM. But if we create the same by portal drive we are able to find and replace.
Regards,
AJ

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the reply.
I guess you have wrongly interpreted the problem, let me more clear on this.
Currently we have around 150 users accessing the portal and suppose they have added a link named ABC with url http://www.abc.com in their favorites. Now if we need to change this url to new one, like http://www.xyz.com, then one solution is, go to Favorites folder of each user in userhome and change there manually. But in case of large no. of user database this will be a cumbersome task, so want to know that how to do bulk replace and find in KM. We have tried developing a KM api and also used a third party tool for the same but all in vain.
Can anyone pls suggest some other way ??

AJ

Hide 'Portal Favorites' iView

Hi Guys,
I know to hide the Portal Favourites iView on everypage, you can:
Content Admin > Portal Conten » Portal Users » Standard Portal Users » FrameworkPage (Edit Object) » InnerPage (Edit) » Portal Favorites (uncheck the visible checkbox)
It did works, the favourites iView is gone. However, the funny thing is after a stopsap JC00 and startsap JC00, the favourite iview reappears. I rechecked the Portal Favourites checkbox and went back to checked!! (seems that after a reboot the settings is gone). Anyone have any resolutions?
OS: AIX 5.3
EP: NW7 SPS14 (SR3)
DB: Oracle 10g

Roger,
I guess you might be having a folder of your own where you put all the iviews roles or worksets that you are creating, create a copy of the Default framework in this folder.
But, once you have done that you will have to alter your MASTER RULE and point the framework page to the one you have created.

Portal favorites not displaying the iview.

Hi Team,
We have a home role with a welcome page which is the first role to be displayed to every user logged in to portal.
Now we have enabled the option "Add to Portal favorites" to the portal objects. So when a report (BI / Bo report) is added to the portal favorites we are able to see the report added to the portal favorites iview. But when we try to access the report directly from portal favorites the link is navigating to the exact report path but not displaying the report instead it is displaying the welcome page of the HOME role.
When i try to add Identity management iview of the User admin to the portal favorites and try to aceess it from Portal favorites iview, it navigates to the identity management page but the welcome page is displayed instead of the identity management iview.
Can you please let me know a fix for this.
regards
Bharat

Hi Team,

How to add a role to the Portal Favorites

Hello gurus,
I have a role to add to the Portal Favorites to avoid drilling down to many levels, does anyone know how to add a role to the Portal Favorites?

Niki,
The documentation says that
The Portal Favorites iView contains a freely definable list of links for direct access to items that you use regularly. This can include the following:
●     Portal pages and iViews that run as full-page applications
●     Documents, folders, and other items in KM repositories
●     External items, such as Internet pages
So we can't do it for Roles.
For detailed information see <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3a/d609e5803111d5992f00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm">Portal Favorites</a>

Portal Favorites when using Application Integration

Hi,
We have implemented application integration for BW for rendering reports and display in portal. We have BI Java portal where the reports run and user portal where the rendered report gets diplayed. This has been achieved through Application Integration for BI Java.
When the user saves the report, its getting saved on BI Java Portal Favorites. So the user is not able to see it. To resolve this we have followed the below steps:
1. Created a remote iView in user portal which points to the Portal Favorites iView in BI Java portal -- using this we are able to see the user saved favorites in user portal
2. Renamed the BEx Web(ID:bex) iView in user portal and created a remote bex iView which points to the BEx Web iView in BI Java portal - When I preview it, it displays the prototype properly
Now when I click on the favorite links, those reports were not running. Only the bex prototype page is coming up.
When a report is saved its bookmarkId is saved on KM user account in BI Java portal. From there I took the bookmarkId and added to 'application parameters' property value for bex remote iView in user portal. This made the report to run on BI Java and render the report on user portal. But when I click on the favorites link in user portal, it is not running the report.
Does someone has any suggestion on this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Archana

I was able to resolve this by creating a remote iView in user portal for the Portal Favorites iView from BI Java portal. And the remote iView created for the bex, we changed one iView property ‘Parameters Forwarded to Remote Application’ to ‘*’ which resolved the issue.
Thanks,
Archana

FPN - Saving BI Links (KM Bookmarks) to the Consumer Portal Favorites

Hi, I'm posting this message again in hopes that either a mentor, SAP person, or Portal Expert can help. I have received several emails from people looking to do the same thing I am. The problem seems like a major integration gap between Portals and BI.
We use a Federated Portal Network where the Enterprise Portal (EP) is the Consumer Portal and the BI
Portal (BP) is the Producer Portal. BI Report Users access BI Reports from the Enterprise Portal through Remote Role Assignment.
BI Report "Save As" functionality allows you to save a "KM Bookmark" to the BI Portal Favorites. I am specifically looking to save a "KM Bookmark" to the Enterprise Portal(Consumer) Favorites and NOT the BI Portal(Producer). This only makes sense since our users only have access to the Enterprise Portal.
Our users are accessing their BI Reports from the Enterprise Portal and the users would like to save a link (KM Bookmark) to their Enterprise Portal Favorites. Currently, it looks like the "Save As" Functionality for saving "KM Bookmarks" is only allowing (Pointing) us to save the KM bookmarks to our BI Portal.
1. In an FPN Environment can we save a "KM Bookmark" Link to a BI Report into the Enterprise (Consumer) Portal Favorites?
2. If we are in a FPN Environment and users cannot save KM Bookmarks to Enterprise Portal Favorites and can only put "KM Bookmarks" in the BI Portal then how are users to access their links from the Enterprise Portal Environment?
3. Just a note. I think these saved links are called KM Bookmarks. You can see this from the BI Report "Save As" dialog. If you do a search through SAP Documentatiion you do not see a single reference to "KM Bookmark".
4. I have found OSS Note1149597, but I do not believe this addresses this exact issue
If anyone can provide some valuable insight into this Portal and BI Integration it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You,
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Has anyone seen any new information on this? The described behavior makes the BI query "save" function completely useless in the context of an FPN consumer portal.
Note [1149597|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1149597] is very little help as near as I can tell. We tested the "fix" in a DEV environment, and while it technically "resolves" the problem with where the favorites get saved, we end up with all of our BI content actually being "published" to the consumer by the BEx tools. This sort of defeats the purpose of implementing an FPN in the first place, even if the requests are redirected back to the producer by the recommended BEx iView mods.
We have implemented a work-around by creating a RDL in our consumer portal to the producer portal's standard "Portal Favorites" iView. However, we're not happy with this solution as we end up with multiple "favorites" areas in our central consumer portal (one for remote BI content and another for "local" favorites). We also don't want to maintain the favorties that get saved to the producer portal.
