Tiny url generation

I have a very long urls generated in my application. is there way in within APEX, to generate a tiny url out of the long url?. any ideas are appreciated.
thanks in advance,
Surya

If you're referring to the long urls generated by APEX I would also love to have
a way from apex to define some shortcuts, maybe more meaningful than
the ones created by tinyurl.
so instead of giving out something like
/f?p=13:2:::::params,params,params:values,values,values
maybe
/f?my_app
and map this from inside apex
or what about
my_app/page_name/f
or having some mapping mechanisms like in the JEE servlet mapping, linking urls to apex calls.
Maybe it's already there and I didn't see it in the doc...
Cheers

Application Group URL generation - config steps required

Hi
We have ECC6 and using Erecruitment release 603.
I am seeking guidance on how to generate application group URLs ie the configurations steps required in order for the URL to be generated.
many thanks
Julie

Hello Julie,
basically the generation of URLs for application groups does not need any special configuration. It simply works without any settings. Only configuration which might effect the generation is the general requirement that the full qualified domain name must be set in system parameter icm/host_name_full for every e-rec server. Furthermore you can use table HTTPURLLOC to overwrite e-rec generated URLs for replacing internal server names. But both should not influence the URL generation in general.
I referred to the reference code generation as this is (in sap standard) only possible for requisitions. The button for the generation is placed on view pinstDetails.bsp of BSP application hrrcf_pinst_mnt which is the detail view for publication maintenance in requisitions. The application group container sequence uses the view status.bsp of BSP application HRRCF_APPL_GRP. This view contains 3 fields reference code, status and the field to display the generated URL. If there is a button for the reference code generation or the view is completely different someone either included the wrong view in the container sequence or someone modified it.
So first step should be to check if you are on the correct unmodified view.
Could you please check if this and give a message about your result?
Many Thanks

Navigation (URL generation): is there general information?

Hello people,
is there any good documentation regarding the whole navigation/url-generation thing in PCUI? What I found in PCUI book is not very helpful.
How do all the customizing transactions in crmc_blueprint_c-->navigation(url creation) fit together?
How is it related to events (crmc_blueprint_c>application elements>events)? How does it relate to iViews and portal-roles?
and to be more specific: in application for contact person, in tab page activities, how can i make the activity description a hyperlink to the activity application?
thanks
Andreas

Hello Gregor,
thanks for your advice!
I already knew your blog, but the tracing functionality was new to me.
My issue is still not solved; the activity-id is not linked by standard (at least it doesnt work), and this is exactly what i want to change, to make the activity-id (Vorgangs-ID) a hyperlink.
If you have time, maybe you could please answer again?
I'm dealing with the fieldgroup ACC_ACT_PROCESSTPYE, screen position 20
Fieldname: OBJECT_ID
Field type: input field
Object-Link section::
URL-type: portal-link
Object-type: BUSINESSACTIVITYCRM
Field Name-->Object Type: <blank>
Method: APPLICATION
Field Name --> Method: <blank>
Field --> Object ID: OBJECT_KEY
The definitions for Navigation(URL generation) are correct, also.
I don't know what else could be wrong...
thanks in Advance
Andreas

URL Generation / ICF Trees

Hi everyone,
I have some problems with the generation of URLS in SE 80 when creating BSP Pages.
For testing purposes we created an own service in SICF under the default host in the top level (parallel to the sap tree). In addition to that we copied the structure to the bsp services.
So now we have a tree /sap/bc/bsp/sap
and a tree /myTree/bc/bsp/sap
When we create a new BSP Page the URL generated in SE80 is:
http(s)://server:port/myTree/bc/bsp/blablabla
but the corresponding service is located under
/sap/bc/bsp/blablabla.
Unfortunately, also the url:
http(s)(s)://server:port/sap/bc/bsp/blabla is
working, too.
So we wonder how the URLs in SE80 are generated and why a path / URL
that does not exist in SICF is working.
Anyone an idea?
Thanx and regards
Jochen

Hi Jochen,
You can refer to similar weblog by Brian. This may be helpful to you.

URL generation of Change Own Data Photo

Hello,
The URL for employee photo under ESS "CHANGE OWN DATA" application is getting generated via FM HRWPC_RFC_EP_READ_PHOTO_URI.
This FM is returning the URL as http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/contentserver........
Now the <server> in the above url points to the ECC server url. This ECC serevr url is NOT accessible over intenet for our environment. Becaus of this photo is NOT visible over internet though the same is working fine within our INTRANET.
We want to change the <server> url with the webdidpsatcher url so that the final url that will be returned by the FM will be
http://<webdispatcher>/sap/bc/contentserver.......
Can anyone please suggest where exactly we need to make the setiings for this. Do we have to modifty the FM itself OR this can be done through configuration?
Regards
Deb

It seems that it is something to look into the entries in the table
HTTPURLLOC. Please can you check the url here?
The URL is generated from the FM HRWPC_RFC_EP_READ_PHOTO_URI,
So check it from here correct URL is generated or not
Please review documentation :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/59/31ae42e0fac911e10000000
a1550b0/frameset.htm
Please review below SAP Notes :
1033071
685521
Please also check the attached note 712330.
Also take a look at notes 1094976 and 1289938 too.
You would need to do the repository settings in order to enable https
communication. Kindly follow the below steps for your photo repository:
1. Go to transaction OAC0 and select the repository
2. In edit mode, type %https in the command field for advanced settings.
3. Now select "HTTPS required" from the dropdown for both HTTPS on
frontend and HTTPS on backend. Save the settings.
Please also refer the notes 712330,712332.
Currently we generate a HTTPS URL to acces the photo to the R/3 system.
But since there is no https service active in
R3, we do not get any response and thus no photo is displayed.
You can check services available in R/3 system using transaction SMICM
and usingn menu path Goto-> services. . I did see HTTPS service
activated this is correct.
Maintain an entry in the table HTTPURLLOC with following details:
protocol: https
host: <web despatcher host name>
port: <web despatcher port number>
This will ensure that the URL will be generated to web despatcher and
not backend and if the HTTPS service is active in Web Despatcher, then
we will get the response and photo will be displayed.

URL generation-PDF

Hi,
I have consolidated 10 sub reprots into one main report and generated the report in PDF format.My users want to see the report output as a URL link. I mean once the PDF file has been generated is it possible to give a link to the users where they can run the URL to see the output of my report.
Note: Apart from the URL is there any way to share the report to the users, except sending the report to their mail-ids...
I would appreciate all your help.
Thank you,
Best Regards,
Satya

Hi Satya
It is possible for the users to view the report through URL reporting.
You will have to generate the URL for the specific report and run the URL through the browser.
Please let us know if you need any further information.

Content Server URL Generation expiration parameter

Hello,
I'm using a content server to store documents. When i need to retrieve files, the expiration parameter on the URL is automaticaly set to 1 day .
Where i can change that? Is it possible?
Regards,
Joao

Hi,
are you sure that it's 1 day. The default value should be 2 hours. I remember that I couldn't find how to change this default value. There is a FM SCMS_URL_SIGN which signs URL for content server. You can see there that it has an option to set expiration to any value or set duration. The default duration is hard coded to 2 hours. I quickly checked some of FMs which call SCMS_URL_SIGN and it looks like nobody sets up these two optional parameters. You can try to use enhancement framework to modify behavior of this FM.

NAC 4.7 CAS web login page url generation

We have had third part certs generated for the CAS and the CAM and these have installed OK, along with the relevant root and intermediate certificates, and the CAS/CAM are communicating fine.
However when a user is redirected to the authentication page, the url generated is using the CN from the certificate..
https://al-nac.sitename.local.companyname.co.uk/auth/perfigo.......etc.
However the machine cannot resolve the url.
We cannot add dns entries for this url, we only administer the sitename.local domain.
Is there a way for the CAS to request the user to access a URL via an IP address?
If I requested a new certificate, but use the IP address instead of the machine name, would the auhentiation page be referenced by this?
Regards
Tony

I'll give our certificate issuer a call this morning,however I'm sure they mentioned in the past they need a resolvable name to generate the certificate?
As when we asked for certificates for al-nam.sitename.local they have been unable to generate them, hence the CN=al-nac.sitename.local.company.co.uk
Is this the same for generating certificates against IP addresses?
Regards
Tony

URL generation - Https and JSR 168

We have some JSR 168 complaint portlets that are working fine under http. However,
when we switch to https (with a webserver front-end), the edit button functionality
generates incorrect urls. It tries to use http and then append port 443. These
urls do not work with the web server front-end.
I know all urls for JPF portlets etc are controlled through the url-template-config.xml
file, but it seems that the JSR 168 portlets do not use this file. Any idea what
these portlets use and what configuration change I could make to resolve this
issue?
Thanks
Kunal

Hi Subbu -
I have modified the template to use relative paths - maybe that will solve my
issue. Here is my modified template.
Thanks

Hi Kunal,
In WLP, all portlets rely on url-templates-config.xml to create URLs.
The edit button is independent of the type of the portlet you are using.
For Java portlets, could you make sure you have the following snippet
in
this file:
<java-portlet-url-templates>
<url-template-ref type="action" name="portlet-default"/>
<url-template-ref type="secure-action" name="portlet-default"/>
<url-template-ref type="resource" name="portlet-default"/>
<url-template-ref type="secure-resource" name="portlet-default"/>
</java-portlet-url-templates>
</url-template-config>
where the name of the template should be mapped to one of the templates
defined in this file.
If you still face issues with this, please post the templates specified
in this file so that I can take a look. Also, let me know if you are
using GA or SP2.

I use tiny.cc to make tiny URLs, and Firefox is giving me this message for the website or any of my previous links: "Disallowed Key Characters."

Tiny.cc worked previously. I have updated my firefox to latest version, but it still doesn't work. As I OFTEN have to shrink a link to use in a tweet, this is very distressing, and although I've searched and searched, I cannot find a solution. (Other than to open safari, which is a PITA. and eew.)

Make sure that you haven't included HTML or other code if you copy text from a web page to the clipboard.
You can check that via the right-click context menu and choose "View Selection Source".

Pageflow URL Generation Problem

All,
I am trying to create a simple PageFlow controller that re-directs to other PageFlows [essentially Navigational type control]. In any even the page looks like the following:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://beehive.apache.org/netui/tags-html-1.0" prefix="netui"%>
<%@taglib uri=" http://beehive.apache.org/netui/tags-databinding-1.0" prefix="netui-data"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://beehive.apache.org/netui/tags-template-1.0 " prefix="netui-template"%>
<netui:html>
<head>
<netui:base/>
</head>
<netui:body>
<table>
<tr><td colspan="2">Welcome to the RTV Automatch Application</td></tr>
<tr><td><netui:anchor action="toRtvList" >Display RTV List</netui:anchor></td><td><netui:anchor action="toVendorList">Display Vendor List</netui:anchor></td></tr>
</netui:body>
</netui:html>
And the controller looks like the following:
package com.circuitcity.rtvcrms.controller;
import org.apache.beehive.netui.pageflow.PageFlowController;
import org.apache.beehive.netui.pageflow.annotations.Jpf;
@Jpf.Controller(
simpleActions={
@Jpf.SimpleAction(name="begin", path="index.jsp"),
@ Jpf.SimpleAction(name="toVendorList", path="getVendorList/GetVendorListController.jpf"),
@Jpf.SimpleAction(name="toRtvList", path="getRtvList/GetRtvListController.jpf")
public class NavController extends PageFlowController {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -710645148L;
The problem I am having when it gets expanded at runtime I get the following for the <netui:base/> tag:
<base href="http://localhost:7001/RtvCrMsWeb/com/circuitcity/rtvcrms/controller/index.jsp">
It is likely obvious, but the localhost part does not work when the client is remote. Any thoughts on how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance,

URL error while executing a web report in WAD

Hi,
When I execute a web report through the Web Application Designer, I get the following error:
The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://abcd.efghi.es:8000/sap/bw/BEx?
The following error was encountered:
Unable to determine IP address from host name for abcd.efghi.es
The dnsserver returned:
Name Error: The domain name does not exist.
This means that:
The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
Check if the address is correct.
But when I execute the web report with the IP of the machine http://123.456.7.893:8000/sap/bw/BEx?...........
I can execute my web report correctly.
I didn't find any options in the menu web template in order to modify the url generation.
Please help me to solve this problem.
