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.

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.

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.

Installing the Business Content Objects from R/3 in to BW

From R/3 system with RSA5 (Installation DataSource from Business Content), I have selected 0PF_FUND_ATTR (Pension Fund in Personnel Management) and clicked the 'Transfer DataSource' and it was successful. Then I have logged on to BW and 'Replicated the DataSource' for Pension Fund Master data and I could see my new DataSource '0PF_FUND_ATTR' after the replication under R/3 Client Source System. I went to the list of Info Objects (AWB -->Business Content --> Object Types --> Info Objects --> Selection --> Input help for Metadata) and I didn't find my new 0PF_FUND_ATTR in the list. If I find it then could click the 'Transfer Selections' button at the bottom and I could 'INSTALL' it afterwards.
Why I am not able to see '0PF_FUND_ATTR' in the list of InfoObjects and what was the problem. Could you please help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi Venkat,
Please try not to double post your question. It is the same group of people on all forums. I have given you a detailed answer on the other question, please look at it.

Transport error: "Only edit objects from package CL in local requests"

I have made changes to an SAP original program as per Note 1096366 on SAP's service web site. The program is an Include program (LCLCMFMZ). I have assigned it a transport number, but it keeps trying to make the target local. When I change the target to DEV, it will not transport and I get the following error:
"Only edit objects from package CL in local requests"
Does anyone know what this error means?
Thanks.

Thanks Nick,
but I think I have figured it out. I needed to create a transport of copies (from se09) and include this object in that transport (right click and choose 'Include object...'). Then back to se01 and display all transportable object (including transport of copies). Then select my transport of copies, choose a target system (from double clicking and going to properties). Only then would it let this object get transported.

Portal content migration from 7.0 to 7.3

Greetings,
We have installed a clean version of 7.3 portal environment (vanilla).
I have transferred all 7.0 portal content (most of it - WAD reports & ECC transaction iViews) to 7.3 environment by using standard transport mechanism.
After I execute any of those transferred reports iViews, I receive a portal exception, which doesn't appear in the default trace log file, or any other log file whatsoever.
My question is - is there a special procedure to move standard portal content (like WAD reports) to 7.3 environment, or a regular transport would work as well?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Ivan,
There is no special procedure to be followed for transport mechanism. But make sure that the installations are made correctly and the system for communication has been created and tested the connection successfully in Sys admin -> Sys landscape
Paste the exception which you are getting. Also where did you look the logs?
Thanks,
Mahendran B

Remove Portal Content Directory From Personalization window

Hi,
I have requirement... we have a home page, which contain a set of iview and page. When logged in user personalize this page, he is able to see portal content directory and its folder structure provided he has end user permission.
Is there any option to avoid displaying folder struture. Or is there any option to hide portal content directory in personalization even user has end user permission.
Regards
Baby

Hi,
please check your permissions of the PCD. (Right click on folder -> open -> permissions)
End Users can only see PCD folders which have the "End User" flag enabled.
All permissions are inherited by successing folders. So don't set the End User flag in general.
Additionally check this discussion:

Please suggest what should be approach for the same. What difficulties/challanges we might face ?

try with theme editor -> import and export
This would have happened because of version mismatch. The standard themes will be automatically updated but the custom theme is of older version. It is better to recreate the theme.
you have to export themes to a zip file and then import this exported theme into the target portal.
I hope you should redesign the old custom themes as they may not work peoperly due to version mismatch.
for more information check the below thread
cutomer theme is not working properly
Points are welcome if it is helpful

Is there a way to create a transport to mass-delete objects from another system?

I am facing a unique issue where I have to generate a transport that will successfully import into an external SAP system and delete over 1,000 objects (reports, data elements, UI elements, transactions, function groups, the whole lot...). All of these objects can be easily looked up because they are in the same namespace.
Essentially, I need to remove all objects with a given namespace via transport.
Is there any way to do this other than manually deleting all of the objects in the source system and adding them tediously to a single workbench request? This would take hours if not days to do manually, especially due to dependency issues.
Thanks for any and all constructive feedback!

Hi,
I did a quick test: created a new package (development class) with one table, one function group using the table in global data definitions containing one function module referring to the table in interface, and one program that's calling the function module and using table in data definitions. Released the transport to Q.
Then, in the second our dev system, I created the same package and TADIRs for the three objects manually (SM30); released transport to Q of that system. Then I manually created transport containing all the three objects, the export log looked like this:
TADIRs in second dev system were gone after export.
Then I added transport to the first development system and imported
- the objects were gone (including their TADIRs) leaving the empty package.
In retrospect, I should have deleted the empty package in second system so it's cleaned up by the same transport.
If you do have access to "clean" system, doing via ABAP the steps I did manually should not be too much of a challenge.
I may have simply gotten lucky and if this works with all objects, for all kinds of dependencies, remains to be seen... though I was until now under impression that import itself doesn't check any dependencies at all... What kind of messages were you getting?
cheers

How to Transport the Business content objects using Transport connections

Hi BI Guru's,
I have installed the BW statistics cubes in BW Devlopment and i want to Transport the same things to Quality using Transprot connection. Please send steps and tips for Transporting the BW statistics collected objects.

Hi ,
While installing have you given any package and created request for this activation? If yes go to SE 09 and release your task and then request. And receive this in STMS in BWQ.
If you do not have created request and saved it in $tmp while activation then you have to go to RSA1 > transport connections> select your cube > grouping> only necessary objects> collect automatically> and press transport button this will give you request no > and then release this request> then go to BWQ> stms> select source system> select your request> and press import request button(white truck sign)> do necessary settings > and say OK. Once your request status is green then its successfully received in BWQ.
Hope this helps.
