Tool area and language dependent links on KM content

Hi there
we are facing the problem that we are using Imprint and TAC in the tool are of the EP6 SP19.
we link those items to KM documents.
Because we want to display the language dependent KM documents we used
the root URL for those sections.
In the KM we created below this root URL the folders for the languages de,en, es, fr and so on. Within this folder we stored the KM Document which is also specified in the tool area iView as the start page.
We are now facing the problem that users with a browser language that is not maintained in the KM folder structure will not be able to see the Imprint or TAC unless the specify a language in the Personalize area.
To you have any solution how we can avoid creating all language folders in the KM structure.
Is it somehow possible to define a default like in the URL iView.
Regards

Hi,
First you need to arrange the KM content in different folders based on the language. Let say if are displaying help file.
Then in KM you need have folder Help following by sub folder for each language. Under these folders you will need to maintain the translated documents.
Now develop a custom abstract portal component ... implement the method doOnNodeReady()...
under this method, get the logged in user and his language.
request.getUser().getLocale();
will provide you that. Now dynamically build an url for the KM document to be displayed.
e.g.
String url = "/irj/go/docs/documents/help/"+request.getUser.getLocale()+"help.html";
Once you have the url, then you need to forward the request to this url using the below code:
request.forward(url);

Mahesh

Transporting Info areas and info cubes with all the contents

Hello Guru's,
I want to transport Info areas and info cubes with all the contents from 1 system to another. How can this be achieved.
Background... these belong to the system ($tmp), i already tried assigning them to a package and transported to the system, but only definitions have been copied over, there is no master data for any characteristics (i.e every characteristic is empty), there are no Hierarchies for any characteristics, there is no transaction data ===> effectively only the definitions is copied, but everything is emtpy.
Regards, Jatin

No way to transport contents along with structure from on system to another.
Different system contains different data
DEV system has only rough data. So developed objects will be tested with rough data for consistancy of objets.
Quality system has some amount of original data. After transporting the delveloped objects from DEV to Quality we need to test the oblects with some original data in Quality.
Production or Live system has only live data. Afer testing complted in DEV and Quality ( with rough and Some amount of original data ) if the objects are giving desired values as per the requrements we need to transport them to Production system.
considering the above criteria no use of transporting data from one sysstem to another.

Collaboration Room Link on Tool Area Bar. Possible?

Hi All,
we have collabration rooms which dispays under My rooms for a particular user.Now a user wants to access a single room from somewhere Tool Area iview so that he need not have to navigate to next page for My room iview and then access.
We can do that by changing the URL link of help option with room URL,so that he can click on Help on Tool Area and acees it.But how can i change the name from HELP to some other.I think its not possible?please Confirm.
Is there any possibility to add one more link same as HELP
somewhere on Tool Area and give Room URl to access the room.
Or anyother good option.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Rani,
to 1:
You wanted to know how to change the name "HELP" in the toolarea iView, because as you correctly said, to change the link you only need to change an iView parameter. So only for the label "Help" you need to touch the PAR file. But actually I was misguided by your text, cause the Help link is in the masthead iView and not in the tool area, so you need to change the text in the localization files headeriView_nls(_XX).properties located in com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.par
to2: For achieving that the links are only visible for some specific users you need to implement some additional logic in the ToolAreaiView.jsp
Hope that answers your doubts and your question,
Robert

Enabling Links in Tool Area

Hi,
I gone thro a PDF in
https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=00200797470000073623&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202..
This PDF is for configuring links in tool area.
For configuring links, I have to set 2 properties:
(1) Enable Link1 & (2) Enable Link2
But I could not find these two properties. Navigate thro
Content administration -> portal content -> portal users -> standard portal users -> Default Framework Page -> Tool Area iView -> click Open
In the properties list, I didnt find Enable Link1 and Enable Link2 Options.
What could be the problem?
Kindly provide me a solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Dhana

Hi Laksmi,
You can directly enable those two links in the default framework page. see the below path:
Content Administrator --> portal content --> Portal Users > Standard Portal Users> Default Framework pages .
Now select the toolarea iView and its properties , there you can find those two links i.e Enable Link1 & Enable Link2. Make them as "True". and refresh the portal .
If it is helpful , Reward Points.
Cheers
Venkat

Tool Area Link1 and Link2

Hi,
I have enabled Link2 in tool area and went into Collaboration Content--> Link Commands > link2> and added www.cnn.com in the reference and restarted the server. The properties I have set are..
valueFactoryKey * = LinkCommandValueFactory
labelKey = label2
resourceBundle = test.properties
launchtype = window
reference = http://www.cnn.com
 My problem is I can see the Link2 in the tool area but I cannot launch cnn website when i click. Nothings seems to be working. Am I missing something or do I have to configure anything else.
Thanks in advance,
Praveen

Hi Praveen,
actually there is a simple explanation for your problem. If you check the ToolAreaiView.jsp in com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea you will find this piece of code:
<TD nowrap>
<%if (isEnabled(profile, ENABLE_EXAMPLE_LINK2)) {%>
<A href="#"class="prtlToolAreaTaskText" title="<%=exampleLink2TooltipStr%>"><%=exampleLink2TextStr%></A></TD>
<TD nowrap class="prtlToolAreaTaskDivider">
<%}%>
</TD>
As there is no function implemented for the clicking on the link as it is for CLP, this CAN NOT WORK!
Here the lines for CLP:
<%
if (isEnabled(profile, ENABLE_CLP)) {
%>
<A href="#"class="prtlToolAreaTaskText" onClick="openCollaborationLaunchPad(); return false;" title="<%=clpLinkTooltipStr%>"><%=clpLinkTextStr%></A></TD>
<TD nowrap class="prtlToolAreaTaskDivider">
<%}%>
You might implement such a function also for opening the configured link for this to work, or wait till SAP does!
Hope this helps,
Robert

Horizontal separator line between masthead and tool area

hi all
we have customized the portal masthead with our own background image and all.
however the masthead looks fine in IE but in Mozilla it puts a white horizontal line between the masthead and tool area and since our tool area background is not white it looks wierd.
any ideas how i can fix that.
thanks

Rather than use one of the selection tools, try selecting the object with a mask. With the mask you can hide by painting with a black brush, reveal (and correct) with a white brush. I use PSEv.8, so I have to hijack the mask from an adjustment layer, but your version of the program has a mask buit in.
Here is a stock photo of a brick wall for demonstration
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1bPkncRl9f24RslkWKdP0NyaYIt9N1
Try this:
Open you picture file
Duplicate the background layer
Convert the background copy layer to black/white
Apply the mask. Left click on the mask
Paint with a black brush where you want to reveal the color. If you go too far, correct with a white brush

Language Dependent Master Data

Hi,
I Have a Info object which has data for more than 1 language, How do I control the text of the info object by language.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kiran,
I agree with suman...
From the below tab check mark the option " Language dependent texts" in your IO.
Master data texts are language dependent (flag)
If this indicator is set, then the texts of the text table are language dependent and the text table has the language as a key field. This is also the default setting.
If the indicator is not set then the text table does not have a language field and the texts are not language dependent.

Hide "search" in EP (the button and Advanced Search link)

Hi,
I need to hide field "search" (where button "Search" and "Advanced Search" link, after portal header).
How to do it or where can I manage this settings?
thanks.

Hi,
If you need to remove the search view from the Portal page then you can do the following.
Go to Content Administration -> Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP -> End User Content -> Standard Portal Users
In this select the Default Framework page , open it.
Select the Tool Area and click on properties.
In the properties change the value to NO for Enable KM Search & Enable KM Search Advanced properties.
This is the simplest way you can remove the whole search area.
*There is one more way to remove the search *
If you want to remove the whole search, you can achieve this just by changing the com.sap.portal.toolAreaiView property "Enable KM Search". Just set the Property to NO.
If you want to remove only the search Button you have to edit the file "ToolAreaiView.jsp" from the PAR-File com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea.par. Copy this file under your own namespace, unpack and remove the line:
<td nowrap> <%=searchButtonTextStr%> </td>
from the jsp-file. Redeploy this par file, create a new toolAreaiView based on the portal component in the PAR and integrate this iView in your frameworkpage.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to do this using the Theme Editor.

Nikhil

Pen tool/path and content aware spot healing brush to remove cables (CS5)

Tried to remove some cables from an image using Russel Brown's video making use of the pen tool/path and the spot healing brush with content aware. I'm pretty sure I followed his tutorial exactly but it did not work satisfactorily. Are there any other tweaks I should be using to remove these cables and replace them with the background details?

Yes to all.
Silkrooster - Looks great! However, I believe spot healing brush was the first I tried and got smudgy results, especially in area of the locks where there is a lot of detail behind the cables. Found the patch tool works best, but not where there is a lot of detail behind the cables.
Fosse - Well, the bow of the ship going through the Panama Canal at 6 AM in the morning is a popular place, very crowded, and not one of them a photographer. I was lucky enough to get the last spot which was dead center, but in front of the cables. I tried to prevail on some people next to me to trade spots, but none were willing ($##$!!!&& b---ds) and they didn't even have cameras. However, will keep your suggestion in mind about taking two shots for the next time...and will have to get up earlier.
I think if I want to really make this work, I will have to do a lot of work, probably using a combination of all these methods.
Thanks to you all.
By the way, Re my question on screens without a reply button...when I click on a response, it appears without any reply button. How do I get a screen showing the reply button without entering a new question, cancelling out of it, and then clicking on a response, which is the only way I found to get a screen showing the reply button.

Exchange BPA Errors (Exchange server is a virtual machine but the additional tools are not installed and The 'Services' string type value located in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Setup\Services' registry key is missing)

Hi,
I am running BPA on My Exchange 2010 VM (Server 2008 R2 VM on Hyper-V) and get the following errors:
The 'Services' string type value located in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Setup\Services' registry key is missing or inaccessible. The Microsoft Exchange Information Store service won't start. As a result, all services that depend
on this service won't be able to start
Exchange server [Exchange Server FQDN] is a virtual machine but the additional tools are not installed. This configuration is not supported. Install Virtual Machine Additions for this guest.
Problem is that, for the first, that Key exists and the service is actually running fine. And for the second my VM tools are already installed.
Hopefully someone out there has had the same issue and can assist.
Pete

Hi Pete,
For the first error message, please try the following steps:
Make sure the Information Store service is in Starting status,
Automatic startup type and works well, as a test we can try to
restart the Infroamtion Store service and verify the service works well.
Start
Registry Editor, find the registry key “Services” under “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Setup”, its value is “C:\Program
files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\v14”(default install location), please check your registry, make sure the key “Services” exist and value is the Exchange Server install location and the
location is accessible;
Start
Registry Editor, and locate the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Setup
Use the
Permission option under the Security tab to check the permission setting on this key. Make sure
System is in the list with Full Control permissions if the service account is Local System. If you are not using Local System as the service account, check the existence of the corresponding account in the list and ensure that
it has Full Control permissions. Please refer to this article:
Title: Exchange Store Does Not Start: Errors 7024, 1026, 9542, and 5000
Link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285116
Start
ADSI Edit, and then browse to the following location:
Domain.com/Configuration/Services/Microsoft Exchange/Org/Administrative Groups/AdminGroup/Servers/Server Name
Right-click the
server name, and then click Properties.
Click the
Security tab, make sure this own server’s server object have
full control permission on its own server.
If not or the object is missing, please modify the permission or click
Add, locate the computer account for the Exchange Server computer, add it to the Permissions list with full control.
Click OK, and then close ADSI Edit.
Use
Active Directory Users and Computers to add the current affected
Exchange Server computer account to the Exchange Servers(previous version should be “Exchange Domain Servers”) group in the
Microsoft Exchange Security Groups( or Users) OU. Refer to this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297295.
Restart the Exchange Server computer, then rerun the ExBPA.
For the second error message, Microsoft don’t recommend to install Exchange Server on virtual machine without additional tools, so the error message occurs. We can just ignore
this message, it will not affect the Exchange servers.

Collaboration link from the tool area

hello,
has anyone any ideea how can i change the name of the link "collaboration" from the tool area, from the left of search.
thx

Hi,
Import the file com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea.par from the portal, open it with NWDS, look for the file toolAreaiView_nls.properties inside PORTAL-INF\private\classes. find the CLP_LINK_TEXT and change the value to whatever you want. you can also change the files of the individual languages.
Redeploy the par file back to the portal.
It is better if you can deploy it as your own toolarea for future upgrades.
