User Credential to the URL IView

Hi,
I'm trying to provide the link to the external site in our company website. To achieve this I have created the URL IView and provided that external link in the URL IView.
Now, to access the external site all the users should use the same credentials which I have to pass to the URL IView. could you please let me know how can I pass the user credentials to the URL IView? I have tried to use the GET method and pass the credentials still it's not working.
Any ideas to achieve this would be of great help!
Thanks,
Sai

hello,
does anybody find a clue to solve this problem?
thx!

System option is empty in the url iview property editor

hi
I wanted to create a URL iview. I would also like to specify the System for the url iview. But when I go to the URL iview property editor, when I select the dropdown list next to system, there are no systems listed.
Please explain me how to make the system available for the url iview.
Thanks for the help

Hi,
Can you detail your requirement. URL iviews are iviews in which you can set any URL and the iview will connect directly to it. So, you cannot force set the URL iview to use a System.
I guess you are trying to call some BW report. For this you can try to create an iview based on component
com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap and then select the application. In this iview you should be able to specify the system.
Cheers!!

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>

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.

How to reference the current user ID in an URL iView

Hi
I have created an iview based on URL iview.
I need to pass the logged on portal user id as parameter to a url.We are using EP6 SP2.
Can any body help me in this regard.
Regards
Sayantan

Hi SAYANTAN,
You can create a dynpage that takes the current user id, use it to construct the url,
and redirects to that url in doProcessBeforeOutput():
public void doProcessBeforeOutput() throws PageException {
   Form myForm = this.getForm();
   IPortalComponentRequest request = (IPortalComponentRequest)this.getRequest();
   IUser currUser = (IUser)request.getUser().getUser();
   String userid = currUser.getId();
   String url = "http://myUrl.com?userid="+userid;
   myForm.addRawText("<script>");
   myForm.addRawText("open(""+url+"","_self");");
   myForm.addRawText("</script>");
Hope that helps,
Yoav.

'exception thrown but not caught' error on the url iview

Hi,
EP6, we have url iview that is working fine for displaying a web application. but the problem is some of the link on the web application throws 'exception thrown but not caught' error. it happens to some of the users though.

Hi Mokone
I agree with Raghvendranath statement.
This is not portal side problem.U just using URL of that application
Also do this
Open the URLiView editor and check the Fetch Mode property value.
    Launch the same URL in a new browser window (not in the portal).
    Change the URLiView Fetch Mode property from Server-Side to Client-Side.
    The iView is using the Server-side fetching mode but no proxy is defined for the portal
Hope this info help you

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

Url iview for anonymous user

Hi
We have an url iview with two Language-specific URLs (en and es) and a default URL. This iview is in anonymour portal page.
The first time that an anonymous user accees to /irj/portal/anonymous the url iview shows the default url instead of the en URL. Browser lengauge is EN.
How can i solve this??
Thanks

Hi,
There are two condition for the URL Language-specific :
1. You must first create the URL iView and then use the editor to use this
feature. It is not available in the URL iView Wizard.
2. You cannot apply a different look and feel to language-specific URLs.
iView content will be displayed at runtime in its native format as defined in
the source Web page. For more information, see the Keep
source formatting option in Defining the Look and Feel of the iView Content.
The remaining look and feel rendering option are supported by the default URL only.
In addition there is an option to check the service configuration of the Language-specific :
com.sap.portal.admin.wizardframework:
edit the SourceLocales field check that the requested Language is defined and if not you can add it
( Follow note# 1078145 )
After doing so , please restart the service , and check the results.
If the problem still exist let me know and we can have further investigation.
Best Regards,
Sharon Dassa

Set user Language in URL IView

Hello,
I am trying to put the Language of the user in the parameters of the URL.
For example :
http://sopraganesh.cr.infra.lab/redirect.asp?page=ECD&lang=en
How can I parameter the URL IView to automatically retrieves the language of the connected user?
Thanks for your help,

Hi
Once you have defined the iViews URL to the targeted Web page, you may need to configure parameters that are passed to the information source as part of the URL. In the URL iView Editor, you can do the following to URL parameters:
·        Add, remove, and modify URL parameters
·        Determine whether or not portal end user can view and personalize URL parameters at runtime
·        Assign intuitive display names to URL parameters that are viewed or personalizable by portal end users
·        Specify the URL request method (GET or POST)
If you navigated to the targeted Web page and defined the iView URL using the portal built-in browser, the URL parameters and request method may already been defined in the URL iView Editor.
Procedure
       1.      Open the iView in the URL iView Editor.
The editor does not display URL-specific parameters in the URL address within the URL box. URL parameters that were part of the URL referencing the selected Web page (the information source) are automatically removed from the source URL and displayed in the URL parameter list in the editor. At runtime, the portal automatically appends the URL and the listed parameters to the targeted URL request.
       2.      In the Request Method option, choose either GET or POST to specify the request method. The request method indicates how the browser sends information to the information source:
Request Method
Description
GET
This request method appends parameters to the URL when the data request is sent to the information source. The server receives the data in one long query string, which typically limits the length of parameters that can be passed.
For example, a URL using the GET request method would be: http://www.google.com/search.asp?&querystring=SAP where querystring indicates the parameter identifier and SAP is the parameter value.
POST
This request method sends parameters for the URL in the header of the data request stream; parameters are not appended to the URL. This allows for long parameters to be passed to a script and parsed one element at a time.
For example, a URL using the POST request method would be: http://www.google.com/search.asp.
POST is only supported when the Fetch Method property defined in the iView is set to Server-side. For more information, see URL iView Properties.
For iViews that have a mixture of parameters sent by GET and POST together, you must:
§         Choose POST as the request method.
§         Set the Fetch Mode property to Server-side
§         Append the GET_EXPLICIT_ prefix to the parameter identifier of each parameter that is sent by GET. For example, a parameter defined as searchstring should be defined as GET_EXPLICIT_searchstring. When the iView sends a data request, the prefix is removed from the parameter identifier at runtime. Parameters sent by POST do not require a special prefix.
       3.      To add a parameter, click Add below the table. A new entry is added to the parameter list.
To remove a parameter, select the checkbox of the relevant parameter in the list and click Remove. Before doing so make sure the parameter is not required by the information source.
       4.      Define the attributes of existing or new parameters, as follows:
Attribute
Description
URL Parameter
Specifies the parameter identifier as recognized by the information source. For example, in the URL http://www.google.com/search.asp?&querystring=SAP, the parameter identifier is querystring.
As stated above, parameters that need to be sent by GET when the request method is defined as POST, must have the GET_EXPLICIT_ prefix. For example: GET_EXPLICIT_searchstring.
Enter special characters that are present in the parameter identifier as is. Do not convert them to ASCII code. For example, enter first name, and not first%20name. At runtime, the portal will encode special characters to ASCII when fetching the iView data.
Value
Specifies the value of the parameter. This is not mandatory.
If you set the parameter as a variable that can be personalizable by end users (see following attribute), then this value will be the parameters default value. However, if you set the parameter as not personalizable, then this value is the fixed value of the parameter.
Enter special characters present in the parameter value as is. Do not convert them to ASCII code.
Type
Specifies the data type of the parameter.
Choose one of the following options:
·        String: Apply this option for all data types whose property is not a mapped user name or password; for example, an integer or string.
·        Mapped User: Apply this option when the URL parameter designates a user name that is required to authenticate the user with the information source at runtime.
·        Mapped Password: Apply this option when the URL parameter designates a password that is required to authenticate the user with the information source at runtime.
§         When Mapped User and Mapped Password are selected, the Value and Personalize attributes cannot be edited.
§         If you want to enable user mapping for the user name and password parameters, in the System drop down-down list, choose an appropriate system already defined in the portal, which contains the necessary settings. See Selecting a System.
Personalize
Specifies whether or not portal end users can view the parameter and its assigned value if they personalize the iView at runtime. This attribute also allows you to determine whether or not end users can personalize the parameter value.
Choose one of the following options:
·        Hidden: The end user does not see the parameter and its value. This is the default setting.
·        Read / Write: The end user sees the parameter and is able to modify its value.
·        Read Only: The end user sees the parameter and the fixed value assigned to it. The end user cannot modify the parameter value.
Name
Specifies an intuitive display name for the parameter identifier. If you set the parameter to be viewable by end users at runtime, this name is displayed instead of the parameter identifier, which is often abbreviated and unintuitive.
This attribute is available only if Read / Write or Read Only is selected in the Personalize attribute. If you do not specify a name, the Personalize attribute will be reverted to Hidden.

Can't get URL iview to log in users to external site

I am testing with a simple log in page that accepts two parameter values (username and password). I have created a URL iview with these parameters that displays the page perfectly, but won't log the user in.
I am unsure if I have to set the authentication URL, method and type both in the system and in the URL iview config.
What settings HAVE to be in place (both for the iview and system) when the POST method is to be used?
Thanks, Henning

Here is the correct minimal settings:
Set Up Target System (Via System Administration - System)
as URL-System that authenticates with UID PW
Create the URL IVIEW, select the system and set the parameter values to "mapped user" and "mapped password".
Set the identifier names "i.e. "PWD" and "UID" to whatever your systems expects.
Set method to "Post" and set the mode to "client side"
This has worked for me.
In your application, you can read the parameters with the names you have set in the iview.

How to change the URL of a URL-iView over Code ?

Hi all,
i am getting started with the Portal-Application-Developement and want to change the URL of an URL-iView on runtime with java-code.
i have read the context and can get the Property url with this statement.
endContext.getProfile().getProperty("url")
But if i change this property, nothing is done.
endContext.getProfile().setProperty("url", "http://www.yahoo.com");
Where is my fault.
Thanks for help.
Regards Jürgen

Hi,
the context is of Type IPortalComponentContext.
I cant find no method getParameter() at the context or the profile.
The methods to read the properties of the URL-iView are
context.getProfile().getProperty("url")
context.getProfile().getAttributeValue("url")
But if i want to set (change) this attribute, nothing is done.
Regards Jürgen

How to set dynamic host name in the URL of a URL iView?

Hello,
I am using a standard URL iView that points to some J2EE app I've written and deployed on the same server.
I would like to set the host name to be a dynamic one, this way I won't need to change the iView URL when transporting it from one portal to another. As far as I know the system for a URL iView only controls authorizations but cannot replace the full URL set in the iView.
Any idea who can this be achieved?
Roy

Hi Mrityunjay,
forced URL at runtime will require me to call the URL iView from another iView that I will need to code (setting the URL in the Request object). If I did all this I might as well call it from this iView already.
I would like to do it with no further developments. I would have thought that SAP has constants that can be plugged in the URL for this type of thing, i.e. $hostname...
Rgds,
Roy

Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?

Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?

Once the user has entered the URL they want to add to the form. You can use the loadXML function to implement some special text in a label...
var linkValue = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><exData contentType=\"text/html\" xmlns=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.8/\"><body xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xmlns:xfa=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/\" xfa:APIVersion=\"Acroform:2.7.0.0\" xfa:spec=\"2.1\"><p style=\"font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:0in\">The new link the user have entered is:<a href=\"" + textfield.rawValue + "\">textfield.rawValue</a></p></body></exData>";
this.resolveNode("lblURL").value.exData.loadXML(linkValue, 1, 1);

How to display the image which in KM folder using url iview

but its now working .. so please help me how to slove this problem
If is not the correct way then please suggest me best way to achive this.
Thanks
Mukesh

Hi Mukesh,
I think this may work,
1, Create a HTML Layout.
    You can put your image wherever u want with HTML Codes.
    Check this, [Article|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/3915a890-0201-0010-4981-ad7b18146f81] & [Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cc/00c93e9b2c3d67e10000000a114084/frameset.htm]
    With this, u can use the standard KM commands also.
2, U need to use KM Navigation iView for this rather than KM Doc iView.
3, In the Nav iView, u can use &rndLayoutSet=nameOfUrHTMLLayout to force the view with this new layout.

Query weblgoic runtime JVM and thread that carry the user credential

Hi there,
So far as I know, weblogic keeps track of user credentials from
different JVM and different thread. However, for the same thread within
same JVM, weblogic only keep on user credential in the EJBContext. So,
is there any way or any API for me to query the JVM and thread that
carries the user credential? My purpose is to prevent second login from
the same JVM in the same thread.
Thanks,
Cathy

How to pass SSO Login Ticket to an URL iView

Hello experts,
We have an application running on Netweaver and it is setup to accept SSO Login Tickets for authorisation.
I have the following question:
We want to expose some of the portlets in our application in a portal page using URL iViews, but we don't know, how to setup this environment, so for each iView, the SSO Login ticket is passed to the portlet of our application (this way access to it can be granted)?
How can we achive this? Or, is there another approach for this scenario?

Hi Megha,
The portlets are part of our application which is deployed on the same Netweaver App server as is the Portal.
When the user log in into the Portal - SSO Tiket is being issued and we want this ticket to be passed to the URL of the URL iView, but currently HTTP 401 error is returned or HTTP Basic authentication login popup is displayed. We want to be able to use the SSO Ticket for this purpose.

Georgi
