Tool to access portal content objects offline

Hi All,
One of the portal desktop rules configured on our Production system was giving a problem logging in.The problem stated the desktop does not exists, though it was created new. So we deleted the specific desktop and the corresponding desktop rule and since then we are not even able to login to the portal even with the admin user.
From one of the threads, we found found out that one can access the Portal Display rules directly, using such an url
http://<YOUR_SERVERHOST_NAME>:<YOUR_PORT>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fadministrator!2fsystem_admin!2fsystem_admin_role!2fcom.sap.portal.system_admin_ws!2fcom.sap.portal.themes!2fcom.sap.portal.portalDisplayRules
However using this url we get an exception in red as <b>Acess Denined for the object. See details of the exception in the log files.</b>
How do we Resolve this error, as no one can access this portal and we need to reset the portal desktop rules as this is urgent.
Is there any other way from where we can reset the desktop rules without logging in to the portal, as we are not able to login in from the admin also?
Do we have any command line tool from where we can access the Portal Content offline.
Thanking you well in advance.
Thanks and Regards
Laxman.

Hi Laxman,
In my opinion; in the next releases portal drive cannot be extended to access pcd content because it is using webdav protocole to access KM. Webdav is a common method used to access files/folders remotely. ( http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4709.txt )
However, it will be great if a new tool will be released to access pcd remotely. Working with PCD on content administration menus are really hard.
In your case, if I understand your point properly;
If you want to develop your portal without affecting end user, I suggest you to use a test server or install developer workplace on your laptop/pc. I frequently use locally installed developer workplace. When I am dealing with end-user critical works, first I try on local server and after seeing that it works, I move it to the portal. You can work on your local server without danger of breaking down the production server. If there are problems with local portal, you can reinstall or restore from backup easily.

Abdul.

Return Standard Permissions to Portal Content Objects

Hello experts,
I was changing the Permissions of some portal content objects and accidentally I've modified the permissions of all the Portal Content Objects (including the standard objects). I clicked the "Reset child permissions" button of the Permission Editor of the "Portal Content" folder. Do you know any way to return the standard permissions?
Best regards and thanks in advance

Hi,
If you have another portal then you can transport permissions from the first to the seccond portal.

Portal Content Objects - Dropdown for "ID Prefix".

Hello experts,
It's been a long time since I took TEP10 Academy, but I still remember when doing the exercises at SAP's Trainning Facilities that the ID Prefixes of all PCD Objects were not in an input field as the standard SAP Portal delivery does. Instead it was a drop down list that showed predefined values -com.sap-, so instead of writing the ID Prefix each time, you just select it from the list.
I'm currently doing lots of portal content in my current project and I remebered that functionality that would be particularly useful by now, I want to minimize typos when creating all PCD objects, so here I am asking if anyone know how to accomplish that.
By that I mean:
-Define / set up several ID Prefixes for PCD Objects.
-Assign those ID Prefixes via a drop down list (combobox).
Or whateaver means via configuration (no developments) to accomplish the previously described objectives.
Thanks in advance.

Problem with Permissions while accessing Portal Content

Dear All,
Im facing some problems with the permission in accessing the portal content.
When i right click on any of the folders in the catalog displayed under the System Administration - > System Configuration -> System Landscape -> Content directory provided by SAP . I get the following Menu options on right click -> NEW -- > Folder, Change ID, Copy, Delete.
I dont get a option such as NEW --> System(from template) which is important to configure the ABAP ECC 6.0 System with the EP 7.0 to enable logon through the Portal to access the ABAP Database through Web browser.
I have installed EP 7.0 JAVA stack alone separately and ECC 6.0 ABAP stack alone separately.
I have tried assigning System Admin Role, Super User Role, Group as Administrators. But nothing seems to work.
Im not sure of the roles to be assigned.
thanks,
Deepak
Edited by: Deepak M on Jul 1, 2009 1:16 PM

Deepak,
Try giving the foll roles,
pcd:portal_content/administrator/super_admin/super_admin_role
and groups,
SAP_J2EE_ADMIN
Authenticated Users (GRUP.SUPER_GROUPS_DATASOURCE.AUTHENTICATED_USERS)

Transport of portal content objects from EP 6 SP 15 to NW 2004s portal

Hello All,
     My question is regarding the transportation of portal content from a EP 6 SP 15 portal to the NW 2004s portal. We had developed a lot of content in the EP 6 portal. We had installed and configured business packages in the SP 15 portal.
    Now, we installed a new NW 2004s portal and we want to transport all the developed content from the SP 15 to the new NW 2004s portal.
    I exported all the developed content to a transport package on the SP 15 portal and the export resulted in the .epa file. I then imported it into the new NW 2004s portal. But the issue now is I am unable to see the system aliases which were created for all the systems. The systems do exist in the new portal but the aliases do not exist.
Is there anything that needs to be done to get the system aliases?
Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sunitha.

Hi Sunitha,
I think while exporting you have to select the option include dependant objects also to get the system alias also.

Tools for Developing portal content

Hi Experts,
Do we have any other tools like WEB PAGE COMPOSER for developing the portal content ?
Thanks
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
There are options which you can avail for creating portal contents.
1). SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.
Based on open source Eclipse IDE & looks very essential for extensive Java projects and supports standard technologies as well from the SAP technologies & the Infrastructure as well.
Can work well in both Java & ABAP platforms as it supports different perspective for both of them.
2). SAP Enterprise Portal Developer Kit (PDK).
It is a collection of information, samples & tools for use by developers.
Sample Applications include Portal Data Viewer, OBN, WebDynPro, HTMLB, EPCF & few more.
3). SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer.
It is a powerful tool for creating the Portal contents using a visual interface rather than stressing more on writing code.
Hope this gives you a fair idea.
Do reward points if found helpful.

Accessing the Content object in Java

Hi
I'm using the ContentSelectorExample bean.
But I want to display the details using the JAVA code itself. I don't want
to use the printproperty code from JSP.
How can I extract the content from the Content object below ?
AdviceResults result = advisor.advise(request);
Collection docs =
((ContentQueryAdviceResults)result).getContent();
Content [ ]myContent = (Content[ ])docs.toArray(new
Content[docs.size()]);
Thanks
Chuck

Hi Chuck
What you have here is an array of Content objects, you can call all the
methods available through jsp tags using java on the Content object
To retrieve a property you can either use
java.lang.Ojbect myProperty = myContent[0].getProperty (which returns a
property Ojbect)
or
String myProperty = myContent[0].getPropertyAsString(propertyName, null)
(where propertyName is the string value of the property name, you can either
pass in null or a default value but it finally returns a string)
hope this helps

Nwdi-managed access of pcd-objects from java web dynpro

Hi,
im am trying to access portal pcd-objects from a java web dynpro component (namely getting and setting personalized iview properties). for locally managed web dynpro components this works fine with the code below.
when i try the same with a nwdi managed web dynpro component i run into problems regarding references to used dcs. for instance, i need to reference used dc SAP_JTECHS/tc/epbc/pcm/adminapi/java because the build needs tcepbcpcmadminapijava.jar which is inside the mentioned dc. but access permissions of this dc don't allow the dependency. when i try to "add used dc ..." in nwds i get the error message: illegal dependency: access list does not allow use of ...
has someone any solution for this problem? are there other ways of accessing pcd-objects from java web dynpro (nwdi managed!)?
thanks

Hi Kust,
To access the PCD objects the code you used looks ok for me but your main issues is related to the dc access permissions. This thread discussed about the similar issue. Please review this below thread.

Error in Portal Content Tree

Im using EP 6.0, when I go to Portal content, I can't see the options. In browser's options I have the script enable and cookie enable.

Hi,
Normally, after new installation, no problem should occur.
Check if there are any errors you can find in the defaultTrace.
Ask if your Admin can access Portal content, if so then it is only permissions issue.
If your admin even cannot access pcd, then check PCDStartup.Properties file under C:\usr\sap\F20\SYS\global\pcd
and check if all configurations are correct.
Check this:

Business Objects In Portal Content Studio

Hi All,
I Installed a business package for CRM in EP 6.0 SP09 and I created aliases SAP_BW and SAP_CRM for the CRM and BW systems and assigned roles to users and was accessing them.
The Business Objects Folder in Portal content studio was empty even after the installation of BP, but Later when I checked that I found a Folder "SAP_BW" under "Business Objects" Folder. I just want to know how did these objects come there and how
Could someone please clarify this to me.
Thank you

Hi Ignacio,
Should they be transported manually to the QA system or will they again be created automatically when I start accessing these BW iviews in QA system.
will it save me the loading time of a template if I transport this business objects folder to QA system by creating a transport package.
Thank you
Shiva
