Userid of a Portal-user in Web Dynpro ABAP

Dear colleagues,
we want to migrate our application from BSP to Web Dynpro ABAP and I'm looking for a procedure how I can get the userid of a Portal-user in Web Dynpro ABAP which is running inside an iView ?
In BSP I used iView application parameter user_id and in the BSP the event handler for data retrieval with:
userid = runtime->server->request->get_form_field( 'userid' ).
Found a lot of entries how to do it in Java but no one for WDA ?
Thanks in advance
Michael

Hi Michael,
Actualy it is not so trivial. You have some options:
1) In case user_id is parameter of iView you can read URL parameter like described here Webdynpro ABAP url-parameters
2) In case user_id is not iView parameter you can use usuall ABAP <i>sy-uname</i> system variable.
But pay attantion that it is not really EP user. Here we have 2 options: user mapping and SSO. In case of user mapping <i>sy-uname</i> will contain R/3 user which is mapped to EP user. In case of SSO <i>sy-uname</i> will contain same user name like in EP, because by using SSO user must ne the same on issuing and accepting systems.

  • How to see the authorization data of a user in Web Dynpro ABAP

    Hi all,
    if I have authorization problems in a normal SAP transaction I can use transaction SU53 to see the missing authorization objects.
    How can I get the missing authorization objects for a Web Dynpro ABAP application?
    regards

    What about using SU53 again - just log into ABAP system and use the F5 - "other use"r option to select the user having the issues.
    There is unfortunately no way to see this as standard from the WDA application.
    Sorry,

  • Adjusting portal theme of Web Dynpro ABAP application

    Hi,
    can the style of all UI elements in our Web Dynpro ABAP application changed in the style sheet editor of the portal?
    Or shall we avoid some already in the application?
    And can we also use the Eclipse Portal Editor to change the theme for our ABAP application in the portal?

    Most all UI elements can be changed by the Theme Editor.  Not all aspects of each UI element is customizable.  You will need to look through the theme editor to see what all it supports.
    You can use the Eclipse Portal Editor (unsupported by SAP) to change the them of WDA applications.

  • Save PDF in KM - Personal Documents of user with Web Dynpro ABAP (WDA)

    Hi Experts,
    I have a WebDynpro ABAP Application, running in my Portal, which generates (after some input steps) a pdf (Adobe Form) as confirmation. Of course the user can save and print the pdf-form by himself, but I would like to save the PDF automatically to his "Personal Documents Folder" in KM to "archive" it.
    Does anyone know how this might work? Is there a standard-way to do this?
    Thanks for any proposal
    Best regards.
    Volker

    We figured it out.  We had been using an application parameter WDDISABLEUSERPERSONALIZATION to prevent users from hiding UI elements on the view.  After upgrading to 7.31 this also prevented re-arranging columns and adjusting column sizes directly on the the grid.  We replaced this parameter with WDENABLEUIELEMENTSHIDE instead to prevent users from hiding elements, but it now allows moving columns with drag/drop and resizing.

  • Event handling for closing a browser window on portal in web dynpro abap

    Hi,
    I am new to portal as well as web dynpro. Is it possible to handle portal events in web dynpro abap? My requirement is whenever a browser window is closed on portal, if any new system messge has been added I want to display them in a pop-up.

I want to subscribe to the close event of portal and handle it in my web dynpro abap application. How can I achieve this? Please suggest.

    Hi,
    I dont think that you can code to close IE browser window as you cannot access MS IE APIs in WD ABAP. I looked into closing IE browser and got http://p2p.wrox.com/general-net/16588-handling-ie-close-event.html . reading this, it seems the coding can be done in C#(asp) etc.

    I hope this is useful for you.

  • How to set a variable in portal session using web dynpro java.

    Hi,
    I have created a web dynpro application, which is running inside portal. I have created a role called "R1". Inside role R1, i have created 3 workset W1, W2 and W3. and inside each workset i have some pages and iviews.
    My requirement is when user logins to the portal , and when he clicks on role R1 for the first time, a login page should come (so that we can do revalidation), and when he enters his password again in that login page , then only workset W1, W2 and W3 should be visible/accessible to him and after successful revalidation, if he clicks again on role R1, in that particular portal session, than that login page should not come.
    for this, i thought i will set a variable in portal session, whenever user successfully revalidated himself, and if after successful revalidation he clicks again on role R1, i will check in doinit method of webdynpro whether variable is set or not (which i already set on successful revalidation), and if it is set then i will do Donavigation else i will present login page to the user.
    Can anyone tells me how to set a variable in portal session using web dynpro java.
    thanks

  • Web Dynpro ABAP Stylesheet - Portal Integration

    We have a Web Dynpro ABAP being displayed through a Portal iView.  The Portal server and the Web Dynpro ABAP server are separate.  Our problem is in getting the Web Dynpro ABAP to use the stylesheet of the Portal.
    We can make this work by forcing an external stylesheet (via application parameters, global Dynpro settings, or passed on the end of the URL), but we have to hard-code the full URI of the Portal stylesheet.  This would be very hard to manage if we hard-code every iView's CSS location (or set every individual Web Dynpro's application parameters), and we want instead for the Portal to supply whatever the user's stylesheet is dynamically. 
    So what we want is: if we change the Portal stylesheet, the Portal would just pass the new stylesheet URI to our ABAP Web Dynpro iViews without manual modification of the iViews.
    Here is an example of what works:
    http://our-abap-server.com/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/cprojects?sap-ep-themeroot=https://our-portal-server.com/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.design.portaldesigndata/themes/portal/ourportalstylesheetname
    Shouldn't the Portal iView automatically pass sap-cssurl or sap-ep-themeroot to Web Dynpro ABAP?  We have "Supply Portal Stylesheet" checked on the iView… it just doesn't pass anything to the Web Dynpro ABAP.  Why wouldn't SAP pass this parameter dynamically to the Web Dynpro ABAPs?  Is this a product error? 
    There seems to be a great deal of confusion about this on the SDN message forums... I think this may be the core issue.
    We are using a 7.0 SP13 Portal with an ECC 6.0 SP12 backend.

    Now that you mention it, I ran into that exact same issue  -- the application parameters didn't work for hard-coding the theme.  The fix ended up being the web server semicolon thing I mentioned earlier (that was why the parameter didn't make it to the backend). 
    The themeroot is automatically sent to the backend from the portal, so you shouldn't really have to manually send it as a parameter anyways.
    I'd suggest talking to your network guys.  Also this could be the result of the SP you are on (we're on 13 for the portal and the backend system -- maybe this feature doesn't work in some earlier SP's?).  There are also some options to force the theme as a WD application parameter on the backend side, which you could check into.  Details on those are here:
    [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/7b/fb57412df8091de10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
    Also you could look at the requests being made by installing HttpAnalyzer in your browser.  You can inspect "post" parameters going from the portal to the backend system.  One of those posts (the first one to the backend system) should contain the parameter sap-cssurl (same kind of thing as sp-ep-themeroot).  This is where our problem turned up as this parameter was not being posted.
    Lastly, make sure that your frontend portal and backend portal are in the same domain.  For instance:
    frontend.domain.com
    backend.domain.com
    If your backend and frontend are in different domains it messes all kinds of things up, including stylesheets I think.  If you can't get around this, then read about domain relaxing (but I highly recommend getting the domains the same).
    When we started, ours were:
    portal.dx.company.com
    sap.company.com
    This created all kinds of problems.  Putting our systems in the same domain with the same protocol and fixing our little semicolon web server problem fixed basically all of our portal complaints.  Up until that time, we had also had many problems with session management (backend sessions were getting stuck until the HTTP timeout).
    That's all I know.   Good luck.

  • How to integrate backend web dynpro abap application in Portal 7.3?

    Hello,
    before Portal 7.3 I was able to integrate a web dynpro abap application as iView in the portal. Now I don't get the point on how to do it. I cannot find a "normal" iview that enables me to give the backend and the application name. The possibilty to create iView based on remote source looks strange because I don't want to upload the application I just want to do my normal user/pass mapping and show the applicaton via iView.
    Somehow I don't get the point with the new version. Could someone give me a hint where to find more information regardings this problem`?
    Thanks a lot,
      Vanessa

    Hi Vanessa,
    Could someone tell me if I should see the SAP Web Dynpro for ABAP iView template in the long list of available templates when I create a new iView?
            You will 'SAP Web Dynpro iView' option in the list while creating iview from template.Create and change the property platform to 'Web Dynpro for ABAP'.
    Is it correct not to use the remote source option? I think yes because otherwise he would upload the app to the portal, if I am not wrong.
         If i understood your question correct,then You can use this option as well to create iview.Atlast it wil create only iview for the application not the application itself in the portal.

  • Integrating Web Dynpro ABAP application in portal

    Dear experts,
    I created a Web Dynpro ABAP application. I need to Integrate it in portal and have to capture portal login id to my application.
    Kindly guide me how to integrate WDA in portal and how to capture Portal Logon id in my application.
    Thanks,
    Kind Regards,
    Ram

    Hello ,
    It is asking for SAP system user id and password becasue there is no SSO established between portal and the web dynpro system.
    Now, either you can establish SSO between portal and the backend system by SAP Logon TIcket or  user mapping.
    SSO stands for single sign on.
    SSO using SAP Logon Tickets :-
    by using this technique you will be able to login into the backend by using SAP logon ticket
    issued by the portal system. For this you need to import the .der certificate form the system administration ->system config -->
    key ticket store. there download verify.der and upload it in the trusted system list in the backend in the trasaction strust_import.
    here is link for this method.
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EP/LogonTickets,CertificatesandBackend+Certificates.
    SSO using user mapping. :-
    For this method you need to map the user in the portal to one user in the backend system.
    You can do so by going to user administration in the portal there find the user id with which the user will login.
    then go to the user mapping for system access tab there select the system from the dropdown and give user id and password
    for the same system save it.
    Now when you will login it wont ask for the user id and password.
    And after this you can get the portal user id also in  your web dynpro application.
    Thanks

  • Web dynpro abap application on Portal does not work via internet access.

    Dear All,
    I have created a web dynpro abap application and deployed the same on Portal.
    The issue I am facing is that the webdynpro application works fine when the end user logs into Portal from Local Network,
    However when the Portal is accessed from outside the local N/W via Internet, Portal is working fine for other applications like ESS
    but the web dynpro application dont work.
    Is this some configuration issue on the portal / abap development or any workaround is possible.

    Hi
    Please try to use the [HTTP Watch 5.0 Basic |http://www.httpwatch.com/download/] tool to trace that WD Application link from the portal and you can easily find out the problem.

  • Portal SSO Web Dynpro ABAP

    Hello,
    We have implemented a long time ago, Portal 7.0 SSO and AD and it works perfect.
    Now, we implemented the first web dynpro abap, with most users, wda application works fine, but for some users to access the same window will appear loguin.
    In SAP, we set the parameters:
    login/create_sso2_ticket = 2
    login / password_change_for_SSO = 0
    If the user with the problem, uses another PC, it can access the application normally. We imagine it's some configuration of PC or Internet Explorer.
    Anyone ever happened something similar?
    We can help us solve this problem.
    Regards,

    We solve the problem by adding an exception proxy.
    Portal is accessed by a dns (http://name), the solution we found is to add the exception of proxy (http://name.com) and it works perfect.
    Thank you very much,
