Url alias for portal

Hi All,
I am new to this portal
Can anybody suggest me a way to create alias for my portal.
i want to access my portal using <b>http://<servername>:<port>/sapportal</b> without using <b>http://<servername>:<port>/irj/portal</b>
regards,
prasanthi o.

irj/portal will come as default with portal
if u want remove this irj/portal u can remove but u can't replace with sapportal
if u want to access certain iview or pages directly u can use quick links option
Quick links are shortcuts to iViews and pages. Each quick link is a string that you add to the default portal URL in order to navigate to a specific iView or page.
Quick links provide a meaningful name for iViews and pages to which users may want to navigate.
Procedure
1.     Enable Short URLs
a.     Go to System Administration-->Navigation --> Short URLs
b.     Choose True (default) in the Use Short URLs drop list menu
c.     Choose Save Configuration
2.     Define Quick Links
a.     Go to Content Administration --> Portal Content ->Folder --> iViews (i.e. Content Administration à Portal Content à My Folder à iViews à SAP News)
b.     Double-click SAP News to edit the iView
c.     Choose Navigation from the Property Category drop list menu.
d.     Enter a name for the Quick Link. (i.e. News)
e.     Choose Save.
f.     Choose Close.
g.     Add the object to a role if necessary.
h.     Repeat steps a to go to create more Quick Links.
3.     View a Quick Link or Short Navigation URL in the Portal.
a.     Enter the link to your portal and append the Short Navigation URL or Quick Link. to the URL
(For example, http://myServer:50000/irj/portal/News)

Apache Url rewrite for portal URLs

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to write simple URL's for the default portal uRL's
for example
inspite of using default url like "http://myserver:port/portal/server.pt/community/abc_xyz/123/efg_jkl/12345",
if user uses
"http://myserver:port/portal/server.pt/xyz"
It should navigate to same default URL.
Can somebody let me know how this can be achieved.
I know Url rewriting is done through Apache Url rewrites but do not have an idea how apache does it with portal Url's. What configurations need to be done in order to manage portal Url's with apache rewrites.
Thanks
Ajay

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the reply. The link shows how to write the Rewrite rules in apache. I am familier with that. The actual problem is that how can the portal Url's be controlled by apache rewrites. My apache and weblogic are both on the same server instance but after writing the rewrite in httpd.conf file. It does not work out. Just want to know how can i tell apache to handle my portal Url's too.
Is there any specific entry that we need to make for doing this.
Thanks
Ajay

Using URL Alias in "main rule" for a new portal desktop.

Hi
I am having a scenario :
I am having two different business functionality. For accessing them separately i have to create to different portal desktops. Each one will have there own iviews and roles.
BUT
They can have similar user ids.
I.e. same user can access both the deskops based on option selected by him.
Supposed Implementation which i am thinking :
i will create a html page with 2 buttons :
1st button : Application 1
2nd button : Application 2
I will map these buttons/Links to following URL.
Application 1 : irj/poral/application1
Application 2 : irj/poral/application2
On clicking either of these buttons/Links user will get a login screen for SAPNETWEAVER PORTAL.
After login which desktop to be displayed will be decided using following MASTER RULE :
Now i will create a master rule with "URL ALIAS" in IF condition.
My Master rule will look like this :
IF URLAlias = irj/poral/application1 THEN desktop = Application1
IF URLAlias = irj/poral/application2 THEN desktop = Application2
Now I am having 2 questions in mind :
Is this possible ?
How to create URL Alias for a desktop ?? (Or do i need to create a URL alias for desktop !!)
I cant try it until and unless i am sure !!
Please comment on my scenario....
Or tell me if there are some other options.........!!

Saurabh,
yes this should work, you have to create the aliases application1 & application2 in the web.xml (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/de/48/1d5d0171364269e10000000a421937/frameset.htm)
I think, the initial page with the buttons shouldn't be located in the portal, because then the users would be already logged on (but you can place it on the java-stack at the plain http anyway)
but keep in mind, that you have to create an alias in web.xml & a master rule for each alias you want to have.

Url alia to guest user

Hi experts,
A guestion:
I have made another anonymous user, then the standard guest, the other is called guest1. I also made another anonymous url alias for the guest1 user, this url is called http://yourportal/irj/portal/testurl.
What i want, guest needs to log in (automatically) to the url http://yourportal/irj/portal/anonymous, that works. But for the other url alias (http://yourportal/irj/portal/testurl) i want guest1 to automatically login. How can i achieve that? Because now, the standard anonymous guest user login.
Tnx!

Hi Erik,
Yeah I already got the anonymous users (custom) working. But the problem was, that I have 2 anonymous users, with 2 different url alias. So that guest1 goes to <a href="http://www.portal.com/irj/portal/ anonymous">http://www.portal.com/irj/portal/ anonymous</a> and guest2 goes 2 <a href="http://www.portal.com/irj/portal/alias">http://www.portal.com/irj/portal/alias</a>. But when I go to the last link, it logged in with the first guest1 user not the guest2 user.
But I have 'solved' it for now with [url]http://www.portal.com/irj/portal/alias?guest_user=guest2[/url]
tnx!

How to create an External Alias for a Portal URL ?

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody tell me how to create an external alias for a portal link(URL). Actually, my problem is i want to send this Portal URL(link) thru' a SendMail step to the user so that when he clicks on it, it will take him to his UWL(Ofcourse after signing-in). As this URL length is > 80 char(101 char), i am not getting the full lenght URL in my Outlook mail. THough we are on ECC 6.0,Basis Rel 7.0, as per the OSS note 559234, we should have this length extended to 132 bytes. But, for some reason, its not happening. And,in the same OSS note, it was mentioned that we can use external aliases to achieve this(shortening the URL length).
Can anybody tell me how to achieve this, either thru' increasing the URL length or thru' ext. aliases.
Please reply asap.
Thanks in advance

Not an issue as of now. I'll open up again if needed

Portal URL alias

Hi SDN.
my portal version is Ep 7.0 SP 15, and our IE is 7.0 . I am creating an URL alias as described in the blog "Using Filter ID in SAP Portal unfortunately it does not work, when I tried login to my portal using "http://portal:1234/irj/portal/internal" its showing the login page and logging in And unable to pickup the desktop.
have noticed a strange thing when I tried logon as http://portal:1234/irj/portal/internal1 or http://portal:1234/irj/portal/internalsdfsdfsdf or if I use anything at the endof the alisas still it is opening the page and logging on. that was the reason I think am not getting the portal desktop .
does anybody have the same issue?can some body please check on your portals and suggest a solution please.

This should not be very difficult to get it working.
Did you make the changes in all the server nodes ?
/usr/sap/<SID>/<INSTANCE>/j2ee/cluster/serverN/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/web-inf
Did you restart the portal after making the changes in web.xml file ?
In your rule collection, do you have the IF condition for the URL Alias = portal/internal at the top ?
Also, check the how to guide:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10da65ed-615b-2d10-efbc-ed07a5385633?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true

Alias for Nakisa URL

Hi,
our OrgChart runs on SAP portal (url placed directly in iView) under reversible proxy-server. This proxy replaces actual URL in calls from OrgChart with it's own. Then OrgChart fails to launch, getting java-errors in files:
https://<Proxy address>/OrgChart/Scripts/xmlhttp.js
https://<Proxy address>/OrgChart/validation.jsp
https://<Proxy address>/OrgChart/Scripts/xmlhttp.js
How to set alias for proxy server name in OrgChart?

Sergey Aksenov
Edited by: Sergey Aksenov on Dec 2, 2011 11:58 AM

Hi Sergey,
You cannot set the Proxy settings in OrgChart. You might be able to set Proxy settings in NWCE, but for that I would post the question in the [Portal Implementation Forum|The specified item was not found.;. If you leave the thread open please post any solution you get from the other thread.

Different Portal URL Alias

Hi
I have a portal and it is http://abc:50000/irj/portal.
I want to setup another Portal URL Alias http://abc:50000/XK03
When user access this URL http://abc:50000/XK03, it will redirect to a transaction iView in PCD.
Only this special URL http://abc:50000/XK03 will be redirected.
Please let me know if this is possible with configuration or development.
Thanks.
Regards
Mike

1. Does it have to be http://abc:50000/XK03 or is it also allowed to go for http://abc:50000/irj/portal/XK03
If so then you could use "Quick Links" see the following for details:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/97/b0ef8b24a64ae884f0ab246e54cae5/frameset.htm
2. If http://abc:50000/irj/XK03 would be allowed then you could go for this solution:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/48/1d5d0171364269e10000000a421937/frameset.htm
(also mentioned by Mayank Mehta )
3a.If it has to be http://abc:50000/XK03 then you have to build a small web-application that is configured as /XK03.
(context root must be set, I guess).
OR
3b. You could also setup a SAP Web Dispatcher and configure:
- (SAP Web Dispatcher 7.01 and before) http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/48/3d993fb08c72d1e10000000a42189c/frameset.htm
- (starting from SAP Web Dispatcher 7.11 also the following) http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/48/9266acaa6b17cee10000000a421937/frameset.htm
Good Luck

Alias for Sender SOAP Adapter URL

When I create a web service for an o/b interface using the wizard, I need to give the URL of the pattern
http://<host:<port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=<party>:<service>:<channel>
Looking at the URL, I think there is servlet that is processing the incoming SOAP messages based on the parameter (channel) and adding the SOAP Header for Sender Service, Sender Interface from that channel before sending it to IE.
Is there anyway to create aliases for these URLs so that I can have distinct URL for each interface eg. http://<host:<port>/DeliveryConfirmation, http://<host:<port>/InvoiceCheck etc?
I need to publish web services in custom-built UDDI tool which expects the URLs to be unique. (This uniqueness should not based on the parameter 'channel'). UDDI tool expects the part of the URL before '?' to be unique, which is not in my case. So, I'm thinking of aliases.
Did anyone create Alias for sender SOAP adapter URL?
I appreciate your inputs on this.
thx
praveen

Stefan,
Creating an alias like (http://<host:<port>/DeliveryConfirmation) for each web service makes the end Point URL (http://<host:<port>/DeliveryConfirmation?channel=<party>:<service>:<channel>) unique and my custom-built UDDI server would allow it.
In this case, all the aliases would be for the same context path '/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet', right?
I see the following on the help page.
Prerequisites
You must first have the J2EE Web applications deployed so that their aliases are added to the list of available application aliases. Then you can decide which one to remove from it.
Do I need to deploy any J2EE Web Application here?
I'm thinking that since 'XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet' is already deployed, I just have to create a various aliases for it.
I highly appreciate your inputs.
thx
praveen

LSO -- where in configuration do you enter URL for portal / corses

LSO -- where in configuration do you enter URL for portal / corses

Hi Matt,
Another address not mentioned in the other posts is the CMS address where your courses are physically stored. In the IMG you will find it here:
Training & Event Management - SAP Learning Solution - Learning Portal - Content Player - Specify CMS Address
Enter the appropriate http: address beside the setting CPCFG/RSURL
Once a learner clicks to launch a course from the portal, the system will go find the appropriate course in the CMS directory and then find the Content Plyer address previously mentioned to launch the course.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Danielle
