User doc for portal components?

Is there any detailed user guide info for the Portal components?
There is decent Javadoc, but I can not find a user guide?

There is a User's Guide and Developers guide at the following link.

GRC AE User provisioning for Portal giving error

Hi,
We are having GRC AC 5.3- SP9.
While doing user provisioning for Portal, we are getting the following error: DBCacheVerifier.java@58:isExpired(). Detailed error log is attached herewith. The back end system (EP Dev) is installed with GRC RTA. Connectors are testing OK. The CPIC user id in backend system EPDev is ED1GRC and has SUPER ADMIN Authorizations, with SPML read/write actions attached to the Role. EP Dev system is having UME as data source, not LDAP. The issue was existing even before the SP9 upgrade. We have restarted the Server several times lately. Pls help me in this.
Thanks & Regards,

Jagadish,
This type of error would normally be a data setup issue. Have you imported all of the initial data files (XML ones)?
Otherwise, if it is just a cache issue, then restarting the server would normally solve the proplem. I would also check the Java Netweaver Admin console to ensure that the memory settings are sufficiently configured to match the hardware that is deployed.

User Store for Portal

Hello,
We are implementing a new portal, and having trouble deciding on the user store for the portal.
Scenario:
u2022     The main functionality of the Portal is dependent on the SAP Systems (ESS\MSS), and BW System.
u2022     Currently there is no CUA or SAP Identity management Systems available.
u2022     The Usernames in our LDAP and SAP ECC systems are different, so we canu2019t use the LDAP.
From our preliminary brainstorming, we came up with following decision:
u2022     Use the ECC ABAP Store for user Base (So we leverage all the ECC users, and their current role assignments in the portal)
u2022     Later on, once weu2019re ready to install SAP IDM, and then Switch Portalu2019s User Store from ECC ABAP Store to IDM.
QUESTIONS:
1.     Is our approach here correct?
2.     Would it possible to switch portalu2019s user store from ECC ABAP Store to IDM?
3.     Should we consider installing CUA in the meantime until weu2019re ready to move to IDM?
Any Help or opinions would be much appreciatedu2026
Thanks,
Harman

Hi,
Q1 You wrote: " The Usernames in our LDAP and SAP ECC systems are different, so we canu2019t use the LDAP."
This is not 100% true... take a look at this help document as it explains some possibilities for you:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/0b/d82c4142aef623e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Q2 Not really, see Q1 and in addition IDM is a Management and Provisioning System/Tool. It isn't a userstore on itself.
In other words IDM contains the single truth but it provisions it to systems (JAVA , ABAP, LDAP etc).
So it won't be possible to connect your Portal from an ABAP user store to an IDM user store as it doens't exist.
What theoretically could be possible is to now connect you Portal to an ABAP user store and later Back to its own UME and let this UME be under provisioning by the IDM system. But I can remember that it is not supported to go back from ABAP to UME. See also: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/f5/8fdc3fca21eb06e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Q3 Personally I think it is a first good step as it helps you to centralize and uniform your users and roles. But If you already decided to go for IDM (lets say next year) then it maybe the Return On Investment for implementing CUA now is nihil.
Do not hesitate to ask if above answers are unclear.
Good Luck,
Benjamin

Any hint on searching for portal components using any certain LOV ?

hi,
does anyone know how to search for all of those portal components which use a certain other component?
let's make it specific. how can i know which of the portal components (portal reports and forms, content folders, etc) are using any certain LOV?
will really appreciate any hints.
with kind regards,
naqvi

Thanks... I will am closing this but in case you have some material for me to review on the following, I will appreciate:
You wrote
1.
"You can convert standard cube to real time even if it already has data without loss this data by using program SAP_CONVERT_NORMAL_TRANS (via SE38)."
--on executing se38, and entering this program, it opened the code and I was stuck not knowing what to do.
I can make simply ABAP modification but did not know how to copy data from one cube to the other using this program
2.
"Via copying data from any other cube using IP functionality (copy function or FOX formula)."
The RSINPT was simple but I had no clue on this suggestion, any additional info specifically on this will be helpful.
In general, in real environment with large amoun of data, which method do you use?
Thanks

Are licenses needed for Portal Users?

Hi, do you need seperate user licenses for users created on the Portals Database (J2EE only) using the MSS and ESS components? We have an HR ECC5.0 system with 700 users, but only about 100 Managers will login to the Portal to do reports via the MSS component. I thought of creating these 100 managers on the Portal (Database Only), and then using Single Sign-On with SAP Logon Tickets connect them to the HR ABAP system where they also have the same user accounts, thus enabling them to do their work seemlessly. I don't want to use the ABAP User Persistence model, as I don't want the Portal UME to pull in all 700 users from the HR ABAP system when we only maintain 100 managers on the Portal for the MSS component. Will user licensing be an issues?

There is no need to license your Portal users. The ABAP license is all that is required. I would check with SAP just to make sure that your license agreement doesn't contradict this but I highly doubt that it will.

Pro/cons for dev. environments for Enterprise Portal components

Hi
I am looking for some positives and some negatives that should be considered when a client needs to decide on which development environment to use for Portal development. I am aware of three products, Visual Composer, Web Dynpro and NW Developer Studio.
Is there anyone who can briefly try to explain the positives and negatives with each?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Thomas Kjelsrud

Hi Thomas,
first, welcome on SDN!
Then about your question:
The standard IDE for any kind of portal components / applications is the NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS). By this, you can develop different things (EJBs etc pp), but also portal specific projects (in the end: PAR files, based on AsbtractPortalComponent, DynPages or JSPDynPages) as well es WebDynpro applications. The latter are able to run standalone (ie not driven by EP, but by WAS J2EE 6.40), but there is also a tight integration into the portal environment.
If this is understood, you know that the question "NWDS or WebDynpro" does not make sense, for WebDynpro is developed through NWDS.
A first overview about this issue so far is https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/exploring java programming models with sap netweaver developer studio.pdf
In that PDF, also the relationship of the tool NWDS and the programming model of WebDynpro is given (even if the term "relationship" may be misguiding, it's more that these two things are to be seen in a comparison, for they use different techniques, are meant for different aims etc.)
The VC is a totaly visual tool to build "applications" for EP mainly based on access to R/3 as backend system, for example. So it's focus is on building UIs which access backend information. That for sure is important for backend integration into EP, but the term "application" does not really fit.
For VC see https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/developing code-free business applications using visual composer - beginner.abst and https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/visual composer - a model-driven development tool for enterprise portal iviews.pdf as an introduction.
Hope it helps

Abap+java stack for Portal 7.0 and MI - User Data Source

The SAP pre-requisites for Portal and MI (Mobile Infrastructure) 7.0 is an ABAP and Java Stack. If you install an AS ABAP + Java, the UME is automatically set up to use the ABAP user management of the same AS installation. What does this mean? The user store will be created in ABAP, for both the Portal and MI.
The impact of this is portal users management is in ABAP. This configuration by design cannot be connected to LDAP Active directory for user authentication.
Please let me know , if some body had already face similar issue and come up with the solution. Thanks in advance.

Hi Surya ,
When you install portal or any NW component with ABAP stack , ABAP stack hold precidence over the JAVA Stack , refer to this link to have more idea on this .

Advanced Development Techniques for Oracle Portal Components

Hello friends,
I have the following problem. I have a report and a form (on a
view) in the same page, and when I select an item of the report
the form is refreshed with the values associated to the selected
item. The problem is that it makes it with delay, the first
selection doesn't show anything and the remaining sample the
data of the previous selection.
This application has been developed as Ken Atkins explains in
its document "Advanced Development Techniques for Oracle Portal
Components."
Oracle Portal Version: 3.0.9.8.0
Thanks in advance.
This is my code:
-- REPORT --
SELECT '<A HREF="http://mipc/portal30/
ALFONSO.refrescar_contenido?
p_variable=nombre_preferencia&p_variable_valor='||nombre_preferen
cia||'&p_pagina=61">'||Preferencias||'</A>' nombre_link
FROM ALFONSO.PREFERENCIAS
-- PROCEDURE TO REFRESH THE PAGE --
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE refrescar_contenido(p_varible IN
VARCHAR2,
          p_variable_valor IN varchar2,p_pagina IN
VARCHAR2) IS
v_Sesion portal30.wwsto_api_session;
BEGIN
v_Sesion := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session
('CONTEXT','SESS_EMP');
v_Sesion.set_attribute(p_varible, p_variable_valor);
v_Sesion.save_session;
owa_util.redirect_url('http://mipc/servlet/page?
pageid='||ppagina||chr(38)||'_dad=portal30'||chr(38)
||'_schema=PORTAL30'||chr(38)||'_mode=3');
END;
-- FORM --
-- ... BEFORE DISPLAYING THE PAGE
alfonso.consulta_preferencia(p_session);
-- PROCEDURE consulta_preferencia --
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE consulta_preferencia(p_session in
out PORTAL30.wwa_api_module_session) IS
v_RowID VARCHAR2(100);
v_Session portal30.wwsto_api_session;
v_nombre VARCHAR2(40);
BEGIN
v_Session := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session
('CONTEXT','SESS_EMP');
v_nombre := v_Session.get_attribute_as_varchar2
('nombre_preferencia');
IF v_nombre IS NOT NULL THEN
BEGIN
     SELECT rowidtochar(rowid) INTO v_RowID
     FROM ALFONSO.VISTAPREFERENCIAS
     WHERE nombre_preferencia = v_nombre;
-- VISTAPREFERENCIAS it is the view in which the form is
based.
END;
-- Tell the component that the query is coming from a link,
and that the rowid
-- is being used to query the correct context record.
p_session.set_value (p_block_name=>'DEFAULT',
p_attribute_name=>'_CALLED_FROM_LINK'
               ,p_value=>'ROWID');
-- Pass the rowid of the context record to query.
p_session.set_value (p_block_name=>'DEFAULT',
p_attribute_name=> '_ROWID'
               ,p_value=> v_RowID);
-- Now do the actual query, using the query button
processing in the target module
portal30.wwa_api_module_event.do_event
('DEFAULT','QUERY_TOP',1,'ON_CLICK',True,'',p_session);
-- Save the session information, which includes the
p_session.save_session;
END IF;
END;

You can make the report with a procedure from which you may call to a form by means of a link. It is a possibility, no??
It is better a example:
TABLE A
campo1 VARCHAR2 (20)
campo2 VARCHAR2 (20)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE REPORT IS
v_cursor NUMBER;
sentencia VARCHAR2(200);
vnumfilas NUMBER;
rowid_pref VARCHAR2(18);
v_campo1 <schemaname>.A.campo1%TYPE;
v_campo2 <schemaname>.A.campo2%TYPE;
BEGIN
     htp.p('<HTML>');
     htp.p('<HEAD>');
     htp.p('</HEAD>');
     htp.p('<BODY>');
          sentencia := 'SELECT rowidtochar(rowid), campo1, campo2 FROM A';
          DBMS_SQL.PARSE(v_cursor,sentencia,DBMS_SQL.V7);
          DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(v_cursor,1,rowid_pref,18);
          DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(v_cursor,2,v_campo1,20);
          DBMS_SQL.DEFINE_COLUMN(v_cursor,3,v_campo2,20);
          vnumfilas := DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(v_cursor);
          LOOP
          IF DBMS_SQL.FETCH_ROWS(v_cursor)=0 THEN
                    EXIT;
          END IF;
          DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(v_cursor,1,rowid_pref);
          DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(v_cursor,2,v_campo1);
          DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE(v_cursor,2,campo2);
          v_link := '<A href="PORTAL30.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid'||chr(38)||'p_arg_values=<form's moduleid>'||chr(38)||'p_arg_names=_rowid'||chr(38)||'p_arg_values='||rowid_pref||chr(34)||'>'||campo1||'</A> '||campo2||' <BR>';
               htp.p(v_link);
            END LOOP;
     htp.p('</BODY>');
     htp.p('</HTML>');
END;
the form has to be based on the table A.
I dont know if this example has errors, but have you the idea??
I hope it helps you out.
(Excuse my english)

Is there a Oracle site for user to practice Portal?

Hello,
Is there a Oracle site for user to practice Portal?
Thank you for your attention,
Emily123

Not exactly, but you can do some of this at http://portalstudio.oracle.com like (testing your portlets). It might be a helpful resource for you too.
Portal is a rather easy setup too if you have a system with at least 1.5 GB of RAM where you can install the infrastructure & middle-tiers on a single system. But I'd still look at this site to see if it has resources that help you with your Portal development.
I hope this helps.

Determine Isolation Mode for directly called Portal Components

Hallo there,
I created a custom Navigation, that calls a portal component directly (without building pages and iViews in the PCD).
My portal component just reads the content of a given Resource from the KM repoitory and renders it to the servlet response.
To Launch the component I give the LaunchURL "/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/MyApplication.MyComponent?RID=/myrep/conents/content.html" to the navigation node. When calling my custom navigation the component is called and the content of the given resource is rendered correctly.
But there is one thing I want to change: the content is always rendered into a isolated iFrame, which is isolation Level URL. Now im wondering how I can force the component to be rendered as EMBEDDED into the view.
What i tried so far is to add the following property to the portalapp.xml (component-profile), but this didn't work:
<property name="com.sap.portal.reserved.iview.IsolationMode" value="EMBEDDED"/>
Can anybody give me a hint how to solve this problem?
Thank you for your answer,
Frank

Hi Priya,
Yes. Putting different portal components in a page definitely means a page conatining different iviews.

Can we use AD authentication for SPoint users to access Portal behind OID?

Hi,
We have Oracle Portal with OID-AD sychronization set up, and are currently implementing SharePoint in our organization.
We would like to provide links to a few pages on our Portal to some of the SharePoint users.
The SharePoint users are authenticated by the Active Directory SSO and the Portal users are authenticated by our OID SSO setup.
What we want to do is to let some SharePoint users access our Portal using their AD login. The SharePoint users should not have to login again to get to our Portal pages.
Is there a way to let the AD authentication to pass through the OID setup so that SharePoint users can directly access our Portal?
We don't have any external authentication plug-ins set up for our Portal.
Currently we are on Portal version 9.0.4.1 but may be upgrading to version 10.1.4.2 in the near future.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply.
But I have a different scenario.
I want to establish it in such a way that certain users are stored in the LDAP and certain users are stored in the Portal Database.
