UWL in federated portal

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to configure the UWL on a federated portal? We want a central UWL (uwl of federated portal and the uwl's of the producers). How can this be achieved?
I already tried the following link : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwesrce/helpdata/en/45/8084e2e8c9487fe10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm
Thx!

Hi,
I don't have any real experience on configuring UWL into the federated portal, but just by knowing the basics and checking the document that you linked, I am pretty sure how it works.
1) Basically you need to go into the consumer portals and download the relevant XML configuration files (in System Admin -> System Config -> UWL). This should be clear if you are familiar with non-federated portal UWL configuration.
2) Then basically you must check what all tasks and workflows there are actually in use in your backend/portal system, and find the corresponding XML configuration for them. Basically you should find that which application is launched when you click a task in your UWL. If they are iViews, write them down, since you will need the info in the following steps.
3) Configure the backend system objects (=similar what you have already in the producers) into the consumer portal. Configure the system objects to be used with UWL (in System Admin -> System Config -> UWL) and register the systems.
4) Now, if you found out that there are some iViews (step 2) that are used in the XML configuration, you should copy them as remote delta links to the consumer from the producer portal. (Copy the pages/roles also if needed - depending on how everything has been setup).
5) Now you are ready to try to import the XML configuration files that you found in the producer portals, into the consumer portal. (in System Admin -> System Config -> UWL)
If all the system objects are found and registered properly in the consumer portal, and all the iViews that are used in the XML configuration files, can be found as remote delta links in the consumer, you should be able to import the XML files and the UWL should be up and running and getting the items from the all producers.
Sounds easy, but maybe isn't.

UWL in Federated Portal Network

Hi All,
Can anyone please suggest how UWL works in case of Federated Portal Network? I have a requirement to show the tasks, alerts, notifications from more then one Producer in the same UWL iview on Consumer.
I followed the steps as mentioned in the SAP help document Running the UWL in the Consumer Portal http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/8084e2e8c9487fe10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm but no luck.
I would appreciate if anyone can let me know the proper process for doing this or could provide any document for it.
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Seema Rane.

Hi Seema,
There are two ways to configure UWL on the federated portal:
1. Run UWL on the Consumer Portal:
a. Everything must be copied over, including xml files. Retrieve information directly from the backend. Use the IviewLauncher Handler. This uses the remote delta link from the producer.
Have a look here at the help documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/8084e2e8c9487fe10000000a114a6b/content.htm
2. Run UWL in Producer Portal:
a. Here the configuration is predefined.
b. Use remote role assignment or remote delta links
producer remote delta links should be available as remote delta links on the consumer.
copy as remote delta links; config is done on the producer
Have a look here at the help documentation:
EP7
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/81ab2f3bab6975e10000000a114a6b/content.htm
(for nw701, 702, 720 search the help documentation accordingly)
I hope that this information is helpful to you.

E-mail out of Workflow from UWL over federated portals

Hello all,
We want to create an e-mail, containing a link to the portal. Is there a possible way for constructing the hyperlink since we are using the federated portal approach? (means this E-mail coming from the workflow of the producer Portal and should be send to the consumer Portal). As a result the link is dynamic and not static. Nevertheless the link should function in any of both possible cases (producer AND consumer portal).
Example for business case: User is signed on in Consumer portal but owns role/iView from ESS/MSS in producer portal over federated portal approach. The producer portal creates an e-mail and the hyperlink contained in it has to link to the task/UWL in the producer portal in spite of the fact that the user only owns direct log in in the consumer portal.
The E-Mail itself might be produced via an e-mail task in Workflow Builder or by using the function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1. The hyperlink should then be part of the parameter OBJECT_CONTENT of this function module.
Have anybody a good tip / answer for this ??
Thx
Mario

At this stage I run the workflow which reads the owner of the regarding customer and assign the email to this owner.(this step is working fine as expected). This workflow is written on E-mail entity and fires on Regarding field change of the email record.
Problem is, our business wants this email to be automatically removed from the support queue so that it should only sit in the newly assigned owner's queue (at the moment they are manually remove it from support queue.)
If this is where you are creating a queue item which is assigned to your support queue? If yes, you can assign this queue item to the owner of the record rather.

Configuring UWL in Federated Portal Network(FPN)

Hi,
I have a requirement to integrate UWL in FPN. Could some one throw light on this?
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Shiva

Hi,
mabye this statement from SAP note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/880482 does help you:
Universal Worklist (UWL): It is recommended to configure only one UWL in the central consumer portal, for the following reasons:
Multiple UWL instances are not synchronized. It is not possible to aggregate the work items from more than one UWL iView into a single UWL iView. UWL items from KM like subscriptions and approval workflows cannot be sent to remote UWLs either (thus KM and UWL should be configured in the same portal).

Sascha

UWL configuration for Federated Portals logging errors in defaultTrace

Hi everyone,
I've just finished configuring UWL for Guided Procedures on federated portals using the help provided in the links below:
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/904ca240-63bc-2a10-1c98-de81b6a045bf|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/904ca240-63bc-2a10-1c98-de81b6a045bf]
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/43/ef06a7860c7061e10000000a1553f6/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/43/ef06a7860c7061e10000000a1553f6/content.htm]
Everything is running very well except for the fact that exceptions for the GPsystem I created are showing up in the defaultTrace log. The message repeats itself several times:
03/12/2009 , 15:56:12:234 , GPsystem | ACCESS.ERROR | null | | Permission=(com.sap.caf.eu.gp.model.permission.GPPermission GP.GET.WORKITEMS) , Error , /System/Security/Audit , com.sap.security.core.util.SecurityAudit , sap.com/cafeugpmodeleap , GPsystem
These log traces repeat themselves so many times that they seem to be causing an unnecessary load on the system. Other that that, both the Guided Procedure and UWL are working perfectly. Does anyone have any idea as to why this might be happening?
Thank you very much,
Luis

Hi
UWL Configuration is not proper so only this happening.
Refer the [Link1|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/IwBbAQ ] [Link2|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a3461636-0301-0010-3787-978f5ac8bd45] [Link3|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/05/fe8ef669674991a4205666694b9c85/content.htm] .

Error while accessing a BI iView from the federated portal to the BI portal

Hi,
We got an issue when we execute BI report from our federated SAP Portal.
The user can navigate into the portal, but when he executes an BI iView, sometime he gets the following error message:
"500 Internal Server Error
blabla...
Root Cause
The initial exception that caused the request to fail was:
BEx Web application "xxxxx" does not exist. The application was either ended by a timeout or an error occurred, which was entered into the trace log. See SAP Notes 937697 and 948490"
He can then refresh the page and execute the report again, and it will works.
Here is our lanscape :
Federated Portal EP6 SP18
BI Portal SP20
Iview are created on the Federated Portal and consume BI web template.
I don't think about a timeout issue, since sometime we got the selection screen and once we click on a button (after some seconds) we got the error.
Any ideas ?
rgds,
Sebastien

Hello,
Please could you remove the proxy setting and check whether it will give you same error or not.
Even we have faced the similar similar issue and once we have removed the proxy setting and cross checked it , it worked fine and later we came to know that the problem is in network proxy setting application.Check with the net working team for the same.
Thanks

Questions on Federated Portal Network

Hi All,
I have a few questions on Federated Portal Network. Please if someone can provide appropriate answers
It is said that the look n feel will be same. Will the consumer have the look n feel of the producer or the producer application will have the look n feel of the consumer portal. Also, if it is required for the content of the producer portal to maintain it's own look n feel, is it possible
How to take care of the performance bottlenecks. Are there any standards available to improve the performance
Any limitation on the no of producer portals which can be configured with the consumer portal
If one portlet, has undergone some kind of change, then how is the consumer portal notified of this. Is there some kind of synchronization mechanism that takes place or this change is implicitly conveyed to the consumer portal, both in the case of Remote Delta Link or Remote Role Assignment
How does the session management work between the consumer portal and producer portal
What is meant by transitive content sharing
Regards
Nikhil

Hi Rasmus,
Is your consumer portal required High Availability? A scheduled re-bounce of the instance should help (weekly, monthly, etc.) as a preventive measure. Maybe you can observe to see how long does it take before the problem comes back (after a full cache refreshed) and then schedule your re-bounce accordingly. As much as we try to do our best, "things" happen
Or, you can adjust your cache settings (e.g. reduce the maxValidityPeriodInSecond property) to avoid the problem.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/5b/9f2d4293825333e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
According to the following link, the cache stores only semantic objects (iViews, pages, layouts and roles); since worksets are not semantic objects, could that be why?!

Test IVIEWS in Consumers for Federal Portal.

Hi All,
This is the first time iam establishing Federal Portal and i have done with all the configuration steps ie
Setting Truct , SSO , creating and registering of Consumers and Producers etc.
Now i want to check it by creating some iviews etc.. But i dont know and not getting how to create it and test.
Could any body telthe steps to create I views in Consumers and how to test SSO and how to use COnsumers.
Points wil be assigned.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Akash..

Hi Akash,
Steps you need to take:
- Setup trust between consumer and producer portal by exchanging certificates and making Visual Administrator entries in the Security Provider Service.
- Create producer.
- Register producer.
See this document for good descriptions of steps to take:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70191d1e-2bd1-2a10-d9b7-ba19500da527
Also for remote role assignment in NW 7.0 SP15 you need to add some UME Actions to a role that is aasigned to pcd_service user. See following link for the material:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/2236fc0b413fe1e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
Please have a look and reward points if helpfull. Good luck!

Missing MSS iViews in Federated Portal Network

Hello, portal gurus, we have a FPN related issue that hope some of you can help.
We have two portal systems that we set up as a Federated Portal
Network. One producer portal, verision is 7.0, SP11, and one
consumer portal, version is 7.0 SP13. We installed the ESS and MSS business
packages in the producer portal. Those business packages came with the SAP NetWeaver
2005 installation, and they are working ok on the producer portal.
In addition, we were able to do the remote role assignment in the
consumer portal successfully. The problem is that some of the MSS
links and iViews that are shown up ok in the producer portal are missing from the consumer portal.
Have anyone experienced the same issue? Is it because the dismatch of the SP level causing the issue? Are there any fixes to this issu?
Thanks a lot for any input!
Jane

Hi Jane,
PCD content and KM content are two different things and they have different transport mechanism.
If you want to transport PCD content to another portal go to System Administration/Transport/Transport Package/Export. In PCD tree in any place create transport package and add to it objects which you need (folders, roles, worksets, iviews and so on) and save transport package file localy on your computer or server. After that go to the system where you want to locate your content. Go to System Administration/Transport/Transport Package/Import If you save tranport file localy on your computer chose client and upload tranport file.
KM transport very clear describe here How to Export KM Contents by ICE protocol using Offline Channel Beside this way you can transport KM content use program Portal Drive (very useful program especially when you need quickly transport some KM files from one portal to another).

Federated Portal: accessing content, through Consumer, stored on Producer

Hello Guys,
I am working on a project which has a Federated Portal Network scenario. Details of it are as follows:
Details:
SAP EP 7.0 with SP11. Two portal installations: Consumer and Producer. Both Consumer and Producer are used for logging on by users. Consumer does not have any content. Users logging on to Consumer accesses all the content from Producer rendered through Remote Role Assignment which works fine. Through Consumer, I am able to access in Top Level Navigation, the Role and all assigned worksets, of the Producer. For a particular workset I have a page containing an AppIntegrator iView. AppIntegrator iView is being used as we are catering to more than one language on the portals. This AppIntegrator iView is rendering an HTML page which is stored in a KM repository on Producer (as I mentioned all content is on Producer). The path to the HTML page on KM repository is given in the URL Template property of the AppIntegrator iView created on the Producer.The path for example is something like: <System.protocol>://<System.server>:<System.port>/irj/go/km/docs/myrepository/testPage/<Request.Language>/includes/mypage.html
The links on the HTML page are all relative links. For eg, {a href = "/irj/portal/theQuickLink" target="_top"}. The behaviour I want is to navigate to the workset/page once I click the link on the HTML page while staying in the Consumer portal.
Problem/Question:
On the Consumer I see the HTML page and till this point the navigation is in Consumer portal. But when I click on any of the links on this page the navigation takes me to the Producer URL. I am transferred to the Producer portal and am no longer in the Consumer portal.
Thanks in advance.
Kaushik

Vinoth,
I am aware about the solution provided by you. But my problem here is the Server name + port and not the rest of the URL.
For eg. my consumer portal is http://Aserver:50000
and producer portal is http://Bserver:51000.
While I am able to access the HTML page via consumer and till then the URL has the consumer Server + port details (for eg. http://Aserver:50000), once I click any link on it the URL in the address bar of the browser window changes to that of the producer for eg http://Bserver:51000. All subsequent browsing happens in the producer as I am transferred to the Producer.
Let me know if anybody has more suggestions.
Thanks,
Kaushik

App page link to "federated portal" menu with webdynpro for JAVA

Hi experts,
we have completed the federated portal configuration from EP to CE7.1
Clients just log in EP, see both EP and CE content.
Now, clients want to make a index page with some link and fashion pictures pointed to exact EP or CE page.
I found a method "WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute" which can do this in EP.
but when i change content path to my CE content, the method failed.
WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(
               "ROLES://NetWeaver_content_producers/<my CE producer's name>/portal_content/...<my path>",
                         WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,
                         null,
                         null,
                         WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.ALLOW_DUPLICATIONS,
                         null,
                         null,
is there something wrong calling the method? or anything else?
Thanks in advanced!

Using GRC in a Federated Portal Network

Hi All,
We are usning a Federated Portal Network and would like to do Role provisioning through GRC.I know that GRC can do role provisioning in one single portal.
I would like to find out if it can be done in a Federated Portal Environment in which I have a Consumer and Producer Portal.
In Simple Terms - I would like to Assign a role that is present in the Producer Portal through the Consumer portal (This is called as Remote Role Assignment) using GRC.
Can anyone please help me with this.
Any thoughts will be very helpful.
Best Regards,
Vivek

Hi Vivek,
I have worked with CUP and EP and it works fine. I have not used CUP with Federated Portal so I don't have idea about this. It seems it will act something like CUA for EP. Am I correct?
CUP works with CUA but for that, it has to bec configured for CUA. I don't see any separate configuration for Federate Portal. Can you open a Customer message with SAP about this?
I doubt this will work but it is worth a try. Please let me know about the outcome.

How to integrate PPM 5 with Federated Portal Network

Hi experts,
If we are using PPM 5 standalone (without portal) and we want to include it into Federated Portal Network, which steps we have to follow to configurate PPM in the Federated Portal. Do we have to install stack java for PPM 5 at portal level or can we have PPM as producer without stack java in the consumer (federated portal).
Thanks a lot,
CAMILO URIBE

Hi Camelo,
For PPM 5.0, you need only abap stack only. For the portal you will need java stack also.
Business packege need to be applied for PPM 5.0 and the necesarry settings need to be done in portal to access PPM through portal.
The federaed or non-fedarated option is for portal only and it will not impact the decison of accessing PPM through portal.
