Urgent !!! - 'Advance with Dialog' option with Enterprise Portal - Reg

Hi Gurus,
I have the following requirement. My system is Ecc 6.0 When the user rejects an expenses report, he/she needs to put the comments for which i have a custom method to pop-up a box for entering the comments. I have this task with 'Advance with Dialog' option. This works fine. But, when the workitem is executed through Enterprise Portal, the 'Advance with Dialog' option is not working and the user is receiving a separate witem(after refreshing his UWL) for this task. This is not what i want.
Can anybody tell me how to do it, IF it is POSSIBLE.
I went through SDN and found Raja sekhar's blog below where it was told this option is not available as in Dec, 2005.
I was just wondering if anybody can tell if this option still doesn't work in E.P ?
If not, can you tell me anyother way to get this functionality work. I need some pop-up for entering the reasons for rejection.
See below for the blog that i referred to :
Advance with Dialog - is not working in E.P.
As this is very urgent, your immediate response is highly appreciated and rewarded.
Thanks in advance,
venu

Hi Venu,
the later versions UWL supports a property called UserDecisionNote for the UserDecisionHandler action: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/7a/df014b037141ca9afc6433ed42b519/frameset.htm
With this functionality, you can achieve what you need (= UWL asks for the rejection reason immediately after clicking on Reject).
Hope this helps,
Mikko

Advance with dialog option not working

Hi All ,
   I'm getting an error whenever I'm executing a particular branch of the workflow .
The workflow has one User decision box , in which if user selects "Reject Option" , another work items needs to be executed which will dispaly a popup window . For this I have used "Advance with Dialog" option .
   These things were working fine in the Dev. server but when we transported it to Quality server , it started giving an error which was "There is no chief position for <pos. no.>" .
   But when I debugged the same WF through transaction SWUS , i didnt come accross such value . I'm not able to figure it out what is the exact problem ?
   Any inputs ?
Thanks ,
Sonu M.

Hello Sonu,
Please do an auth check immediately after the decision (SU53). The first agent determination is done by either the system or the previous user. However with advance with dialog, the next agent evaluation is done by the user who performed the decision. It is quite usual for QA system's userID's to have different auths to dev.
Another alternative is not to use the rule for the rejection step, thats to use a container element PreviousAgent to pass the actual agent of your decision to step into the following step.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi,
please check if the options defined in the KRB5LoginModule are correct.
First of all check for the option prinicpal. Did you provide this option and also provided the correct value?
This error often occurs if you provided a wrong value for option prinicpal

Problems with activity reports on Enterprise Portal

Hello, we have problems with activity reports on Enterprise Portal. It shows only zeros since certain date.
We have this error in monitoring of Activity Reports - Status of Activity Reporting: "The database contains non-aggregated data that is more than 2 hours old".
And we found this exception in logs: "Exception during a Prepared-statement DB update"
What could be a problem? What should we do?
Thank you.

Configurarion of the Data Collection Service is done well, I think:
Activate portal activity report: true
First day of the week (e.g., Sunday or Monday): Monday
Gather iView statistics:true
Gather page statistics:true
Gather statistics for remote users of local content (global portal): true
Number of days for daily data retention: 90
Number of days for hourly data retention: 30
Number of days for monthly data retention: 730
Number of days for quarterly data retention: 1460
Number of days for weekly data retention: 365
Objects to exclude from reports
Pages for which to gather user data
Save interval (minutes): 60
What should we do then?

VERY URGENT: Issue with Reconciliation against SAP Enterprise Portal

Hi,
We are using IDM7.0 and we have SAP Enterprise Portal as a resource. The users in portal are from Active Directory.
When I am doing full reconciliation against portal, it is processing only certain accounts. The reconcilaition policy is to link accounts. It is not linking teh accounts. Moreover, these accounts are not found in UNMATCHED accounts also. I don't have any account exclusion rules or something.
I wrote a small code snippet, which does just a single account reconciliation of a particular user id. In this case the portal account is being reconciled and linked properly.
Any ideas what the issue might be?
And I have another question too.. in the schema attributes of the out-of-box SAP Portal resource adapter, I don't see any ammping entry for "accountId". Usually for other resource adapters there would be entry for accountId (e.g in AD, mapping is: accountId <---> sAMAccountName). In case of portal, do we need to explicitly set this mapping? If so what would be the right hand side name in the schema? Does the right hand side name changes from one deployment to the other? If so how to determine what attribute maps to accountId in our portal? Might this lack of accountId is causing the issue with the reconciliation?
Any leads would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
kIDMan.

Thanks for the reply. I have already set up correlation rule, account linking options for different situations like FOUND, UNASSIGNED, UNMATACHED etc. If my linking configurtaion is not correct then the fetched accounts should be atleast in the account index with situation as UNMATCHED. But that is not the case.
I am not sure if I made my problem difinition clear earlier. The problem I mentioned is not with "linking" of the accounts. The problem is IDM is detecting only some accounts. Among those set of accounts which IDM was able to fetch from portal during reconcilaition, it was able to successfully link the matching accounts to identities in IDM.
My question is, why IDM is fetching only certain accounts and not all accounts from portal resource.
As I mentioned earlier, when I run my code snippet to reconcile a single account, it reconciles successfully and links to user identity in IDM (if a matching idenity exists based on my correlation rule). But why the reconcilaition at the resource level is not able to fetch and reconcile teh same account.
Regarding the accountId attribute in the attribute schema, neither the SUN documentation nor the resource adapter configuration tells about the name of the attribute on the portal side that it should match to.
Thanks,
kIDMan.

Need help with dialog option buttons

I am trying to make a program with a menu displaying several buttons that the user can select. I've been following the "How to Make Dialogs" tutorial but the window becomes extremely long when the buttons are displayed horizontally in the same row and there doesn't seem to be a way to make the option buttons display vertically in a column rather than horizontally in a row with JOptionPane. Is there another way to do it?
URL for tutorial: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/dialog.html

Here's a simple example of what I mean. If you go my route, you'll understand how to do this. If on the otherhand you do rgjonathan's suggestion, you'll lose out and be forced into whatever pigeon-hole that NetBeans forces you into:
DialogExample.java: a class that creates a JPanel with vertically stacked JButtons. This JPanel can easily be placed within a JDialog.

* creates a mainPanel that can be used in a JDialog
* @author Pete
class DialogExample
    private JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel();
    private String buttonStrings[] =
        "Fubar", "Snafu", "Bohica", "Subar"
    private String actionCommand = "";
    public DialogExample()
        mainPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(0, 1, 10, 10));
        mainPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(15, 15, 15, 15));
        for (int i = 0; i < buttonStrings.length; i++)
            JButton btn = new JButton(buttonStrings);
mainPanel.add(btn);
btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
actionCommand = e.getActionCommand(); // set actionCommand field
Window window = (Window)mainPanel.getTopLevelAncestor();
window.dispose(); // close this window
* @return a JPanel that can be used in a JDialog
public JPanel getMainPanel()
return mainPanel;
* @return String: actionCommand corresponding to the button pushed

return actionCommand;

Forget Password Option in Enterprise Portal

Hi,
We have a specific requirement regarding the "Forget Password" link (used to retrive the portal login password).
The user needs to fill up his/her first name, last name, zip code, birthday and his primary email address first before being provided with the security question. If he/she answers the above information correctly then only the security question should come up.
Can you pleas inform me how this can be implemented using the standard features of EP.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sudip

Hi,
ts possible to have the forgotpassword link in the portal logom page. This can be acheive through customization com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par file.
1. Download the file from EP System admin -> suppport -> support desk -> portal runtime -> browse deployment -> ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/temp -> download the com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak -> change extention into .par
2. Import the file into NWDS with the same name
3. add the umelogonbase.jar , com.sap.portal.usermapping_api.jar, com.sap.portal.htmlbbridge.jar in the lib folder of your project (you can get this jar by extracting the jar file)
4. You can modify the umLogonProblemPage.jsp according to your requirement other wise have a seperate jsp for your requirement
5. If you wan to have a seperate JSP then you have add the JSP entry in a properties file of UME Logonbase.jar. The name of the properties file is LogonPages.properteis.
6. And the flow & Navigation logic is written in SAPMLogonLogic.java file. which is available in umelogonbase.jar
7. Modify the umLogonpage.jsp to add the link for you page
8. Export into Portal
9. Pls. do only the necessary and desired changes in this par.

Office 2010 created PDF only bringing up Work with Certificates option with Signing

When creating PDF documents with Microsoft Word 2010, the only Sign option showing is Work With Certificates and is greyed, I Need To Sign and Get Others to Sign is missing. My previous PC with Windows 7/Office 2010 and Reader Xi was able to sign documents. I'm also able on my old XP machine to create a dummy pdf in Word 2010 and sign it in Reader, and on my Windows8/Office 2013/Reader Xi PC. Any idea as to where this might have been broken?
With the PDF file created in 2013, I Ctrl+D'd to get the security settings as it's commonly suggested that electronic signatures is failing because of a setting there, however I'm still able to sign it with Signing: Not Allowed and get the full signing menu instead of the Work With Certificates.

Hi,
If you meet any problems when using our products, you can post the question here. Please post one question in a single thread, and the question should be posted in the proper forum.
The current forum is for Office 2010 - Planning, Deployment, and Compatibility.
Just as Don mentioned, you may have multiple questions and some of them are not well placed, post them to the correct forum to get the specific support.

Rasterization issues with overprint option with AI CS5(only)

Hello
This issue occured only with AI CS5.
I need to export several times a document into a png file. My document contains objects with the overprint option activated.
So I decided to make an action. The action runs well. But if I quit Illustrator and reopen it, the script doesn't run well anymore.
The overprint flag is ignored and moreover when I try the rasterize command from the menu I have the same result.
Can we hope a correction for this issue ?
Notice : The default rasterization action (Rasterize selection) provided with Illustrator doesn't work. I have the following message "The object Rasterize" is not currently available."
Normally this message occurs when there are no selected objects in the document but in this case I select the object.
Thanks

I know that, we are working with files for printing industry. We have documents with pantones and overprinting areas.
We want to have an image file which can simulate the overprinting effect. This file is then applied to a 3D object. The 3D viewer cannot read PDF files or AI files that why we chose the png format.
The format is not really important.
The issue I mentioned occurs before exporting into an image file. When Illustrator converts the artwork in a raster art object, it skips the overprinting effect.
The problem seems to come from the action (script) after quiting and reopening Illustrator and only CS5 is affected by this problem on Windows and MacOS X

Performance of dialogs built with CS Extension Builder in Windows XP

Are there any known performance issues with dialogs created with extension builder in Creative Suite applications (specifically InDesign) running on Windows XP? I created a plugin, and whenever the dialogs are loaded on a machine running Windows XP, they consistently take about 9 seconds to load. When I run on Windows 7, they load almost instantly. This happens on machines running the same hardware.

We haven't figured this one out yet, but we have determined that it only happens in InDesign Relase. In Debug, the dialogs appear immediately.

JavaScript Errors in Enterprise Portal side

Hi all,
I am facing a very serious problems with JavaScript Errors in Enterprise Portal related to SALESWORKBENCH application which is developed using PDK,EPCF,JAVASCRIPT and CSS concepts .

salesworkbench might be an old applicaton i guess and Ep 6.0 is not compatible after integrating with SALESWORKBENCH with respect to EPCF ( ENTERPRISE PORTAL CLIENT FRAMEWORK )

Issue with RRMX Via Enterprise Portal

Hi,
I need to start BEx Analyzer via Enterprise Portal. I was able to create a Transactional iView with the Transaction (RRMX) and linked this iview to a Role.
Used Windows GUi to Login.
I am also able to run this iView from Portal but the problem is that every time i click on the Analyzer link, it opens a GUI window in the back on the analyzer.
so if i click on this link 5 times, it opens 5 GUI window in the back and then we have to close each of the windows manually.
Is it possible to supress the GUI window that pops up in the back of Analyzer?
Thanks in Advance.
Niveda

Atul,
Thank you very much for your reply.
With the option you mentioned, i was able to restrict the USER GUI Session to 1 along with the BEX Analyzer. But i do not want even this session to be visible. I only want the Business Explorer ( Only excel ) to be opened and not the Windows GUI session.
The problem is that the Transaction iView first opens a Windows GUI BW Session then Runs the Transaction RRMX, which means it will always have a GUI session opened along with the BEx Analyzer.
My requirement is have the BEx Analyzer with no GUI session.
With the property you mentioned, we could restrict the no of GUI sessions opened to 1, i:e the number of GUI sessions opened is always 1 no matter how many times to click on the Bex Analyzer link on Portal.
Number of sessions = 0 does not work.
I do not want even one GUI session opened when i click on the BEx Transactional iView.
If not possible, Is it possible to close the opened GUI session using some parameters so that i use only see the Bex Analyzer?
Hope i am clear with my requirements.

SAP BW Bex 7.3 Queries not working with Enterprise Portal (EP) 7.3 ABAP stack only

SAP BW Bex 7.3 Queries not working with Enterprise Portal (EP) 7.3 ABAP Stack
Dear Portal Gurus,
we want to integrate SAP BW Bex Queries 7.3 into an Enterprise Portal 7.3 EP ABAP Stack only installation.
1) We have Done SSO between EP And BI System
2) System Object is Created
3) When we trying to create Iview of BEX 7.3 report, its executing that report on BI server, we don't have java stack on BI System
4) We have updated the required table in Bi system for executing the report on EP
5) RFC is OK, System Object Test is OK, Report is working independently from Business Explorer, but not working from EP
There no irj services available on BI system, as it is only ABAP stack.
Can anybody help us in achieving our requirement
Thanks in advance
Michael Wecker

Hi Michael,
To integrate portal with BI you need to perform BI Portal integration steps.
Refer to a document link below for guidance purpose.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0a5216a-349c-2a10-9baf-9d4797349f6a?overridelayout=t…
Ensure that you have performed all these relevant steps.

Process flow - Active Directory integration with Enterprise Portal

Hi
I have seen number of documents/forum discussions on integrating Microsoft Active Directory (LDAP) with Enterprise Portal, but unable to find out the process flow for achieving the same.
I have installed Enterprise Portal 6 (SP13) running on Web AS 640 (J2EE Standalone). The UME is currently configured to use Java database. (i.e datasourceconfiguration_database_only.xml)
I intend to proceed as below for integrating with Active Directory and integrate with Windows authentication:
1) Configure UME to use an LDAP Server as Data Source using Config Tool
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/cc/cdd93f130f9115e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
2) Configure Enterprise Portal UME i.e http://<host name>:50000/irj - System Administration - System Configuration - UM Configuration
<b>Should I configure Data Sources & LDAP Server here as I have already configured these using J2EE Config tool (point no.1).</b>
3) Integrate Windows authentication with EP using IISProxy module.
I hope the above will enable me to logon to Portal without supplying username and password once you are logged on to the PC using your Windows user name and password.
Also, any schema updates required to Activie Directory i.e What additional data is stored in A.D.
I would appreciate your guidance on this.
Thanks in advance,
Chandu

Hi Chandau,
you wanted that some users are not taken into account by the User Management Engine (UME).
This behavior can be established by specifying the
ume.ldap.negative_user_filter property for the LDAP data sources in the data source configuration file. Using this property one can define that all users and accounts that
match the defined conditions are filtered out by the UME API.
A detailed documentation can be found in the SAP Online Help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9a/f43541b9cc4c0de10000000a1550b0/
content.htm
In the following example of a data source configuration file for Microsoft Active Directory
Server the attribute userPrincipalName is used as Logon ID of a portal user id (j_user).
Here the user accounts that have one of the following Logon IDs (index_service,
notificator_service and cmadmin_service ) are filtered out.
<dataSources>
</dataSource>
<dataSource id="CORP_LDAP">
<privateSection>
<ume.ldap.negative_user_filter>
userPrincipalName=[index_service,notificator_service,cmadmin_service]
</ume.ldap.negative_user_filter>
</privateSection>
</dataSource>
</dataSources>
