Unable to Deploy Par File in the Portal

Hi Experts,
When i'm trying to deploy the par file to the portal after Configuring the server settings it's giving me an error.
"Operation Failed: Please make sure the server 'DEV' (hostname:port) is running or check the log (sap-plugin.log) for more detail "
And please guide me where i can find the log file sap-pluginng to check the logs as i'm new to the NWDS i'm not able to locate the file.
Regards,
Nilesh

Dear Nilesh,
Check that you have set the followings configurations:
- Windows -> Preferences -> SAP J2EE Engine:
Message Server host: Portal Server
Message Server port: ms of portal 390x (not 50x00) you cand find your message server port in http://server:port/index.html -> System Information (Message server table)
- Windows -> Preferencies -> Sap Enterprise Portal (there you need to put the 50x00 port).
Try with this a comment, regards.

Not able to view the uploaded PAR file in the portal archive selection.

Dear All,
I have modified com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par and have renamed it to some other name.
Now I have uploaded the par file.
The problem is that when choose new from PAR option (to create iview from a par file),I am not able to see the par file in the Portal Archive selection.
I also want to know that if I am able to call the par file in the iview, can I use this iview to have a portal login.
Our requirement is that we want to give login page for the portal in the portal home page.The portal home page will be for the anonymous users.
Kindly try to guide me

Hi Nitin,
Check ur Portalapp.xml file. If u have the following code in that just remove them
<property name="com.sap.portal.pcm.Category" value="platform">
<property name="inheritance" value="final"/>
Deploy it again.now u can see that par in ur portal.Refer this thread also

Hi,
go to System Administration -->Support --> Browse Deployment and browse to the directory ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/temp
locate the corresponding par file and Download it to your local system. If you observe the file extension, it is "bak", because SAP Portal renames the archives after it deployes the par so that it will not deploy it again. Remove the file extension .bak and rename according to the naming standards of your organization. I would recommend you to use the same naming of the file, remove "sap" and use your own company name, like com.mycompany.portal.navigation.masthead.par.
After this, you can import this par file in NWDS (Netweaver Developer Studio) by selecting File --> Import.
A word of caution, the importing does not import the jar files in the private/lib folder of the project structure. So, copy them manually to the new project you have created.
When you see the project structure, you can find the related file in dist --> PORTAL-INF -->jsp -->
You can change this file according to your needs and deploy it back to the portal.
create the ivew from par
hope it works for you

The PCD folder with all par files in the portal is empty

Hi all gurus.
I have a customer that failed with a transport of iviews between two portals, the par file was not included even if attribute "include dependent objects" was checked.
I have met this problem before and the only(?) solution is to download the par file separately and import it into the receiving portal and then create a new iview from it.
Here is my problem: when I at this certain customers portal go to "System Administration > Support > Support Desk > Portal Runtime > Test and Configuration Tools > Browse Deployment" and then browse to "Root > WEB-INF > deployment > pcd" that last folder is empty! Blank!!!
On all portals I've seen that folder alwasys shows all standard par files along with deployed stuff but here the folder just shows a white page with the text "The folder is empty".
I don't think it's a matter of authority since I have added "super-admin role" and all possible content admin roles to my user without any change, the folder is still empty.
Does anyone have an idear about what is going on here?
Best regards
Benny Lange

Hi Raghu.
Your are missing my point: it's not about what content to export, it's about the folder being totally empty. I can't see the par files belonging to our deployed code either.
Of course I could upload the par file from Eclipse workbench from where I first uploaded the par file to the development enivironment, but I find it alarming that the folder is empty when it's full of par files in every single portal I have seen so far.
Best regards
Benny

Deployed par file does not show as an iview create option

Hello Experts,
I modified the com.sap.portal.runtime.masthead par app and deployed it to the portal as myCustomMasthead.
I see the par file in under the Support Workset in the portal, but when I'm in content admin and try to create an iview from the deployed par file template, the option for the deployed par does not show? Do I need to request basis to bounce the J2ee engine? What might be wrong?
Any advice will be appreciated.
Regards,
MM

Hi Nishant,
Yes the file exists under ROOT/WEB-INF/portal/portalapps.
And I am not using iview from template option, I am using iview from par file option.
I did not deploy the par file from NWDS, I created the par file in NWDS and then manually deployed the par file using the par uploader tool in the portal.
Do I need to do anything in the portalapp.xml file? This is what my portalapp.xml file looks like:
<application>
<application-config>
 <property name="ClassLoadingPolicy" value="5.0"/>
 <property name="DeploymentPolicy" value="5.0"/>
 <property name="AuthenticationPolicy" value="5.0"/>
</application-config>
<components/>
<services/>
</application>
Then there is also another portalapp.xml in the dist folder that has all this SAP stuff inside it. The top line says not to modify the file.
I bounced the J2EE Engine but it didnt fix the issue.

NWDS - Error deploying .par file to portal (EP 7)

I am unable to deploy a par file to our portal (EP7 SP12) using NWDS (7.0.06).
I can use the Administration Console to upload par files, but when using the deployment option in NWDS it gives me the following error message:
Operation failed: Please make sure the server 'ALIAS' (SERVER:PORT) is running or check the log (sap-plugin.log) for more detail.
My user id has the "super_admin_role", the "ContentManager" role, and the "Administrator" role assigned.
The log file shows that the upload is getting an HTML 401 error (Unauthorized), but if I paste the link below into my web browser, it takes me to the file upload page.

Dhruv...
Thanks for your response. I checked the settings for the Server Message Port. I have the default values enabled. "SAP J2EE engine is installed on remote host" is selected with "Message Server Host" set to "localhost" and the "Message Server Port" set to 3601.
When I change the Message Server Port to 3901, I get an additional error regarding HTTPS protocal not being supported. When I change the proxy settings, I still get the same error message that I was receiving before.
I have verified that my account is not locked, and I have already re-installed NWDS twice, which did not fix the problem.
Thanks...

Runtime exeception after deploying PAR file in portal

Hi ,
I am facing an issue during the deployment of PAR file in our Quality portal. I have download the PAR file from the system-->import to the NWDS--> did the modification (only to the properties files as part of my requirement) -->Export as PAR file. I then undeploy the previous earlier PAR file and then upload the modified PAR file in portal. When i test the application , i received portal runtime error.
I have also tried by downloading the PAR file for the same application from the production portal and tried importing to Quality system without making any modification to the PAR. I still face the same issue.
Due to this issue, i am not able to bring the application back as its not getting deployed properly. Can anyone help me on this.
Regards
Ray

Hi Ray,
Are you sure your file is getting deployed properly. Can you verify if the time stamp of the PAR file is getting updated on each deployment or after you upload it through Portal.
Also, please check the PAR file (size and it's contents by unzipping the PAR file) that you've downloaded from PROD and deploying on QAS to ensure that the file is not corrupted by any means during downloading.
You can also ask your BASIS team to provide the PAR file directly from PROD server and try to upload it on QAS instead of you downloading it from PROD portal.
Also, you can follow the below steps to download the PAR file yourself from PROD portal with Administrator ID:
Browse to the following location : System administration->Support->Portal Runtime->Browse deployment->ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/temp
1. Find and Identify the PAR file and Copy the name of PAR file.
2. Click on view instead of download link to save the PAR file. Keep the name of PAR file same while saving with .par extension.
3. Deploy this file on QAS Portal.
Please let us know the results.
BR,
Anurag

Unable to find Par file while creating iview in the template

Hi All,
Iam trying to change the Masthead iview, i deployed in NWDS and successfull. but while creating iView in the portal i could find the par file in the template.
And when iam creating sample Portal application it is visible in template.
Setting in the NWDS are correct. Can any one suggest what is happening here.
Regards
DV

Hi DV,
don't try to create an iView from template, but one from par. In the list you'll find your project name and within the project - voila: your portal application.

Deploying an existing WAR file into the Portal

I have downloaded the Enterprise Portal and the SAP Netweaver Developer Studio (NDS) and have succeeded in creating a couple of projects of the Hello World variety and deployed them on the Portal! So far, so good.
The problem I have is that need to deploy on the Portal an existing JSP/Struts application of ours which is available as a Web Archive (WAR) file.
The problem is that I cannot find a way of deploying an existing WAR file on the Portal either via a Project or otherwise. I have found an entry in the Help files with the NDS which sounds promising, as it is entitled Import a .WAR File into a new project. However, the menu entry it says you should use (File ‑> Import ‑> MDK: Import a web archive (.WAR) into a new project) this last entry does not exist on my installation of NDS.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi Mustafa (and All) - thanks you very much for your answers, which has enabled me to make good progress.
I have created a project in the Deploy Tool, imported a simple WAR file into it, loaded to project and depployed it on my instance of the Portal - or at least I have deployed it as far as the Deploy Tool is concerned.
However, when I try to find it in the Portal in order to assign it to an iView in the Portal content, I can't find any evidence of its existence!!
As another 'tack' in the NDS I have created an 'Enterprise Application Project', into which I appear to have imported the WAR file - but I cant package this as a PAR file, which is what I seem to need to do to get it into an iView on the Portal. To create a PAR package I seem to need to create a 'Portal Application Project' - but I can't find a way of getting the WAR file into that!!
Any further advice would be greatefully received.
Thanks for your help to date and thanks in advance for any more you may be able to give.
Regards,
Dave

Problems deploying par file via Netweaver Developer Studio

Hello,
I have problems deploying a par file using the SAP Netweaver Developer Studio.
In the SNWDS i configure the following:

Am I using the proper settings? Am I using the wrong port?
I don't know whats wrong.
Can anyone help me?

Hi Nils,
I think you must have selected the defualt checkbox (Try and uncheck that). Also uncheck the checkbox for "Yes, I want to remeber the password for deployment" if it is also selected. When you deploy the par file now enter the password and try to deploy. I think this will solve your problem.
Apart from this, try this methos of deploying the Par file.
1) Save you project. Right click it and "Quick par Upload".
2) On your browser type
"http://<your_server_name>:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/"
Your case:
http://khz059:52900/irj/servlet/prt/portal/
or same page you can get by navigating:
System Administration-> Support-> Portal Runtime-> Administration Console.
3) At the option "Please specify a Portal Archive file (PAR) and press "upload" to store it into the PCD." Deploy your par file by giving the path.
Now you file is deployed on the server. If you want to create an Iview from this deployed .par file then :
1) On your portal. Follow the path: Content Administrator-> Portal Content -> Portal Content(sub-option). Right click -> New from par ->iView.
2) Here in the list you will find the par file which you have uploaded. Proceed as said.
3) You will finally have an iView. Right click it and preview it.
I hope this solves your problem.

Pravesh

Deploy par files with code from NWDI

Hello Experts,
I have migrated some par files to NWDI and they are deployed via SDM as SDA files.
From eclipse it is possible to deploy the par files with Code. Is this possible from NWDI that the par files are deployed with code to the portal server.
Regards
Sundeep

Hi Satish,
I am using NWDS, and then check in the Portal DC which is then deployed on the runtime system.
My question is during deployment via NWDI is it possible that the par is deployed with code.
Earlier we were using eclipse for par based development, and this was possible in eclips.
With NWDI i dont think it is possible to control if the par should be deployed on the portal server with code included.

Hi,
To deploy the application, you can without NWDS but not without server running. Server should be up for deploying any application. Go to Drive:\usr\sap\J2E\JCXX\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\deployment\pcd
and ..\deployment\temp folders. Delete your project. It will be cleaned from the portal. Now restart the server. It will be up.

Different ways to deploye .par file

Hi,
How many ways we have to deploy .par file. As per my knowledge folloing are the ways
1. Deploying from NWDS
2. Portal -> Java Developer -> Portal Deployment
Is there any other way to deploy the par file like we can deploy .ear files from SDM.
We would like to remove PDK. So, the Java Developer role will be deleted.
Please let me know if we have any other ways to deploy
Thanks

Hi Bobby,
This is another way for PAR deploy
System Administration -- Support -- Portal Runtime -- Administration Console
Apart from that you check these links out :
Converting .EAR file to .SDA
