URL iview problem

Hi experts,
I have made a role and added to it two URL iviews which contain two portal applications I've made. When I go to [http://localhost:50000/irj/portal] I see my role correctly and the two iviews are displayed in the toolbar and the first iview is displayed properly. But when I click on the second iview it displays the first iview again and not the second one. Hope I'm clear. Can you tell me what could be the reason for that behavior?
Help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Please also try previewing both the iviews from the portal content and check whether both display different applications.
Also try to remove iview1 from the role ad check what the second iview display after that.
Thanks

URL iView Problem - How to Use URL Parameter of Type 'User Information'

Hello URL iView experts
I am currently working on integration of backend-functionality with the help of an URL iView.
I want to use a parameter of type 'User Information'. In SAP Help Library it is said, that it is possible to set the value of a parameter according to a dynamic query on the users attributes. (Link SAP HELP)
It is also said, that one can retrieve the Logon ID of the users account.(Attribute Name: j_user -> Link SAP HELP Attributes )
I can choose the type 'User Information' but i don't know what to specify in the field 'Value'.
I have made a screenshot of the problem.->[Link to screenshot|http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/7782/urliviewproblemfrsdnthrel3.jpg]
But if i am calling the application this way, he doesn't retrieve the Logon-ID of the account, but he just uses the 'j_user' as value for the parameter.
Can you tell me, what i need to specify in the field value?
Best Regards
Marcus

Hi Marcus,
> It is also said, that one can retrieve the Logon ID of the users account
This is not correct; on the help.sap.com-page concerning the URL-iView-Parameters, it is printed that "other attributes (general, account, group, role) are not supported". The j_user attribute is part of the account group, so - not supported.
For your needs, it may be a better choose to use the AppIntegrator, which offers such a possibility by using "<User.LogonUid>"; see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/36/5e3842134bad04e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm and https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e0cbc309-ff89-2a10-8bad-bcde4c152ecb

Problem with URL iView regarding fetch mode and SSO to non-sap webapps

Hi,
I have created an URL iView which opens an internal webapp. When the fetch mode is set to client-side the page is displayed for the user. But when I set the fetch mode to server-side, the page cannot be displayed by the user.
No proxy is needed. I tried to open the wepapp direcly on the portal server without any problem. Are there any additional points to be considered?
On the other hand I want to realize SSO to this webapp (form based authentication) with user mapping. Is it correct, that I have to user server-side fetch mode, when I want to use the POST request method?
Thanks ahead,
Bernd

Yes.

Have a look at System Administration - System Configuration - Service Configuration - Applications - com.sap.portal.ivs.httpservice
This is used to do the Server side fetch.

Problem with JavaScript in URL iView

Hi,
I am facing a problem with javascript when i am trying to access my application through URL iView. In the javascript window.top is used to access the frames in the window. But the EP is not recognizing it as valid. what exctly the problem and please suggest me a solution.
Ashok.

Hi,,
thanks for the quick reply. But what i asked was different. I will put it in different way. I have deployed a application in Web Application Server and trying to access it through URL iView. My application is pure J2EE application with html,jsp and JS files. In javascript we used window.top property of the java script which is working fine MS IE. The problem is window.top is a IE specific property which is not having any equallent open standerd so EP is throwing a java script error. As I know the only possible solution for this problem is inherating IE rendaring capabilities to iView(i.e iFrame). is there any way to do that?

Problem while creating URL iview (in EP7.0)

Hi,
I encountered a problem while creating URL iview (in EP7.0) as when I selected the iview template for creating the URL iview, the content area got displayed as
"No templates to display. You are not assigned to any existing templates."
please assist me in this regard.
Thanks,

Hi Manoj,
Thank you for your reply.
I am still getting the same messages even after creating the iview template in EP7.0
Created through:
content Admin --> portal content --> <folder>new --> iview --> seleting "Portal component - create an iView from a portal component contained in a deployed portal archive (PAR file)" <next> --> seleting "com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap" <next> --> webdynpro <next> --> finish.
Open object for editing...--> Object is a Template to Yes.
Result :
content Admin --> portal content --> <folder>new --> iview --> seleting "iview template- create an iView from an existing iView template" <next> which displays the same message.
"No templates to display. You are not assigned to any existing templates."

Client Eventing Problem with URL Iview

Hi,
I am new to EP and have a basic client eventing question. We are trying to integrate a URL Iview from a partner product with a standard Iview downloaded from Iviewstudio. This standard Iview is capable of handling client events from other Iviews in the standard package. We want to re-use this Iview with the same event (same functionality) to be able to handle events from the partner URL Iview.
The partner Iview and our portal are on different servers.
We are using the following Javascript but it doesnt seem to raise the event.
EPCM.storeClientData('urn:com.sap.bor:BUS0010','objid',LocId));
EPCM.storeClientData('urn:com.sap.bor:BUS0010','AllKeys','objid');
EPCM.raiseEvent('urn:com.sap.bor:BUS0010','select','','/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/...'
We were able to debug and find that the data was being stored in the Data Bag. However the event is not being raised at all. It seems that it just gets stuck somewhere in the Raise event. We even put a javascript alert after the raise event but it doesnt seem to reach there at all.
Could you give me a few pointers as to what the problem might be.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
let's have a look at two quotes of the PDK documentation.
"Using the EPCF from your JavaScript, you can send messages to JavaScript code embedded in other iViews."
"Isolated iViews are iViews that are not inlined into a portal page, but referenced using an IFRAME. To make the EPCF available in such iViews, the EPCF JavaScript as well as the EPCF applet are included into each generated frame."
From my point of view, this only can work automatically with content provided by the portal.
Therefore, this can't work with isolated URL iViews generated with the wizards. Imagine a google iView, running in an iFrame. Google is called by the portal, but it's simply standard google HTML output - displayed in the portal.
To provide the capability of the EPCF, the epcf javascript file has to be included in the "partner URL iView"'s source. I tried this and it worked. However, this is not a highly sophisticated solution
If the partner iView's server is running in a different domain, there are further issues to be considered (keyword: java script origin policy)
If anybody has corrections or can provide a good solution, don't hesitate.

I am using customized top level navigation (developed using byEPCM method).
I created URL iview and pointed "http://www.google.com" . (Launch in New Window = Displaly in sepearte window) .I have assigned this iview to a role as delta link. When naigating this iview, it is opening in new window. But it is showing "Permission Denied script error". And also, it is not displaying url as "http://www.google.com" .
If I navigate via standard top level navigation, it is working fine. Please help to solve this problem.

Problem in Creatig the URL iview for a Team Room

Hi SDN,
<b>
I have created a team room in collaboration and created the URL iview of that team room.
But in the iview i am getting the MASTHEAD of the portal also.
But I do not want the MASTHEAD to appear.
HOW DO I GO ABOUT THIS??????
</b>
regards
Brahmachaitanya

Hi Brahmachaitanya
Well it is unfortunately not possible to just copy the link of a room and use it as reference in an URL iView. A solution we are using a Collaboration Room launching iView. We simulate the form that is used in the CLP:
<script language=\"Javascript\">
function gotoRoom(){
top.EPCM.doNavigate(\'CollaborationConnector://portal_content/com.sap.ip.collaboration/Rooms/" + room_id + "/workset?NavTargetAsRoot=true\', \'0\');
</script>
I hope this helped.

URL iView doesn't open link in new window

Hi All,
I'm have an URL iView that I want to display in the portal content area but whenever the user clicks on a hyperlink on that iView launch a new window for the link.
I've tried using the 'Open iView links in new window' without any success. Is this supposed to work or this property is for another purpose...? Can someone point me to a solution.
Thanks

Hi Detlev,
I checked what you said. I've already looked at that page but didn't saw that important disclaimer. My problem was that I didn't had a captured area-URL iView but a full page-URL iView as it says:
+These properties are relevant in the following instances only:
§ The iView content is displayed in its source format. The rendering type must be defined as Keep Source Formatting. See Defining the Look and Feel of the iView Content.
§ The iView content displays a captured area, and not the entire Web page. See Selecting the Capture Area.+
I only had to change the 'Open iView links in new window' to Yes after capturing a part of my page and it started working.
Thanks for sharing

Open web page from URL iview in maximized window

Hi,
I would like to open a web page in a <b>maximized</b> browser window, using an URL iView.
I know how to open a window in a separate window, I just can't get it maximized.
N.B. I do <b>NOT</b> want to open in <b>fullscreen</b> mode, i.e. I want a title bar and menus.
Does anyone know how to do it?
I tried to play around with the "window function" property of the iView, but no luck so far. I can't specify a fixed width and height of the target window at design time, as these values may vary at runtime.
regards
Lothar

Hi Lothar,
Yes, That will require Java Coding, Its true. Basically what the problem here is that to maximize we are trying to fetch the Screen resolution dynamically through Portal that Portal is not allowing us. Thats why I feel that we should go for Java Programing, Create a Par, Deploy it in the server and then create iView for that.
For Creating the Abstract Portal Component for Opening a Maximized Window You should do following steps.
1. Open Your NWDS
2. Create a project ie Portal Application
3. Create Portal Object ie Abstract Portal Component.
Now here is the piece of code that may help you
          response.write("<SCRIPT language=javascript>");
          response.write("function onOpenWindow()");
          response.write("{");
          response.write("window.open('http://abc.com','windowName','width=screen.availWidth,height=screen.availHeight,resizable=yes')");
          response.write("}");
          response.write("</SCRIPT>");
          response.write("<a href = \"javascript:onOpenWindow()\">abc.com</a>");
Paste this code in doContent...
I think it may help you
Thanx & Regards

Difference: SAP BW Report iview - Query iView - URL iView

Hi,
I want to show BW reports on the portal. Can anybody suggest me the different ways of doing it ? And also let me know about checklist of steps that need to be performed.
Can anybody tell me the difference between showing BW reports through URL iviews, showing reports through Query iView and showing reports through SAP BW Report iView ?
Which one can i use for showing BW reports taking into consideration the implementation of SSO between the two? I tried the URL iView (using the Web URL of reports generated by BW) but it asks for Username/password. Is that the problem with SSO. How can i check if SSO parameters have been set or not. I have imported the verify.der to BW System and added that to ACL. Is there anything else which is required?
Thanks in advance.
Rgds,
MA

Hi Manoj,
I feel BW report iview will solve your problem. You can create a query sting in BW query designer and give the same in BW query string text area while creating BW report iview.
In the case of an url iview you are just giving a URL link of the BW report (this will ask for username/password).
But, in the case of a BW report iview you can view the required query as an iview (user mapping can be successfully done in this case) You should give fully qualified domain name in Was server option while creating the system.
While using the logon ticket Login id of both the system (ie BW and Portal) should be the same.
Refer the link for SSO using logon ticket)

Webdynpro application can't display a URL iView in a new External window

Fellow developer:
In my WD4A application, I called the method 'navigate_absolute' to display a URL iView in a new External window.
The code is as follows:
data lo_portal_manager type ref to if_wd_portal_integration.
call method lo_portal_manager->navigate_absolute
exporting
navigation_target = 'ROLES://u2026'
navigation_mode = '1'. ('0' - Displayed in the Same Window, " '1' - Displayed in a new External Window)
The application can display the iView in the same Window (navigation_mode = '0'), but cannot in a new External window (navigation_mode = '1').
In the iView properties, the following attributes are set to:
1. Launch in New Window - Dipslay in Separate Window
2. Open iView Links in New Window - Yes
If you know the answer, please advise.
Thanks

Need to send cookie to non-SAP backend from URL iView

Hi,
I have a backend application which takes a cookie for
(non-SAP) SSO purposes. I have created an URL iView
in my EP 6.0 SP2 that correctly displays the content
of that web page, i. e. the login screen.
However, even when I have a cookie in my browser, it still
displays that login screen, i. e. the cookie is either
not sent or not recognized.
I then created a simple test servlet on a backend server
that prints the contents of all the HTTP headers. When
I connect my browser directly to that page, I can see
the cookie. When I connect my iView to that URL, I
do not see the cookie. So apparently the iView does
not send the cookie.
As I learned, in EP 6.0 SP3 there is a "Fetch Mode"
property for URL iViews which allow to define whether
the URL in the URL iView should be retrieved by the
server or the client. This seems to indicate that in
SP2, always the server issues that request, which would
explain why there is no cookie in the request (since only
the browser holds these cookies). So I presume if I
would use SP3 with Fetch-Mode set to Client, this might
work. But then again, this fetch mode is not really
encouraged by the documentation and only recommended
if you are really desparate ...
So the question basically is:
- are my assumptions above correct?
- is there a way to have the EP server send cookies to
my backend systems with SP2?
I'm a little puzzled that this doesn't work out of the
box, since my understanding was that SAP SSO tokens are
also transported to backend systems using cookies, and
this is supposed to be on by default for EP. So I was
expecting to see at least the SAP SSO tokens in all
HTTP requests to backends. Apparently, the world is
not that easy.
Any insights would very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Matthias

Additional thoughts:
In general your assumptions are correct. When using client side fetch mode then the cookie should be forwarded, and I would not expect problems there. When using server side mode then the cookie domain changes and becomes the portal domain, and as a result the cookie is kept in the browser, but is a little useless. I'm not 100% familiar with how we solve this problem when using SSO2 cookie in server side. Yoav, can you elaborate ?
The reason the documentation was not in favor of client side is because at the time the idea was to encourage the users to use the portal server cache. However, this seems less relevant now, because only the first request will be cached, but not the inner calls of the html page.
Bottom line - I don't see any issue with using client side, and actually the default in FP is client side. So I would simply modify the iview to use it.
