What is Portal Content

What do you mean by Portal Content?

Content is much more than information; it’s everything the user sees and interacts with.
Content is brought together for specific users in portal content, where they can complete administrative tasks, business tasks, and personal tasks.
Portal content includes what’s needed to complete role-specific tasks. These tasks may require:
•     The ability to work in enterprise applications .
•     Access to internal and external services
•     Access to relevant reports and analytics
•     Access to unstructured information
Content brings it all together

  • What is Portal Content Development? What componets it consists

    Hi All,
    I am very new to SAP. Now am getting training in SAP Portal. I want to know What is Portal Content Development? What componets it consists? Can you please help me.
    Thanks,
    jyothi.

    Hi Jothi,
    All the content relevant to maintaining the portal is organized and Developed in Portal content Development.The Portal Content Object Model consist of content objects such as these:
                                          u2022 iViews
                                          u2022 Pages
                                          u2022 Worksets
                                          u2022 Roles
                                          u2022 Layouts
    One of the main components of the portal architecture is the Portal Content Directory in which all the content required to maintain the portal is stored and maintained. The Portal Content Directory is the central place to
                        u2022 create various content objects
                        u2022 administer them by assigning permissions and changing their properties

  • Collaboration Launch Pad as iview in the Portal content

    Hi friends,
    i have the following problem. I configured the collaboration launch pad (real time collaboration) and it works fine.
    I just don´t want to start the iview from the collaboration link next to the TREX search. Instead of that i need the iview with the user status and the possibility to start an instant message session within the portal content.
    Does anyone know if it is possible and what is the name of the corresponding iview?
    Thanks in advance
    Michael

    Hi Michael
    Create an new iView (new from PAR => iView) and select the com.sap.netweaver.coll.shared.ui
    Create a link in the iView to the contacts:
    In the iView properties add in field "Path for Initially Displayed Folder": /alias/%3Cmycontacts%3E
    and in field "Path for Start Uri": /alias/<mycontacts>
    Hope this helps.
    This worked, but I needed also to activate the Tool Area with activated CLP link. I didn't get it work without Tool Area.

  • Problem in Portal Content after upgrading EP 6.0 to SP12

    Hi SDN,
    I have upgraded EP 6.0 from SP9 to SP12 but am facing the problem that am not able to view the context window  <b><Open,Preview,Change ID,Copy,Cut,Delete></b> when i right click on any of the folder or contents within that folder under <b>Portal Content</b>.
    Prior to upgrade everything was working fine.
    Awaiting for your response....
    Regards,
    Raghbir Singh Kapoor

    You might be still caching some old static stuff (css, js etc) in your browser. Try clean local cache and see what happens. Eventually you can check what is going wrong in HTML from portal by using HTTPWatch.
    Also, if you are using a proxy cache to access portal... try access directly instead.
    Hope this helps

  • Open KM Navigation Content in Portal Content area

    Folks,
    We have a km navigation iview and want to open the contents in the portal content area instead of opening the links in a new window. I don't find any configurable options. What are the development effort options and how big is the effort? Any hint will be very helpful.
    Regards,

    Hi Tridib,
    see /thread/87593 [original link is broken] for the example of external links. If I'm right in this, the same would hold for other renderers.

  • How to decide the development platform for developing portal content?

    Dear Experts
    There are several platforms on which we can make
    portal contents for SAP Portal.
    1)Web Dynpro for Java
    2)Web Dynpro for ABAP
    3)PDK for .NET
    I am trying to find out which of them would be most
    efficient while developing system for the client.
    It may be that for one who knows Java, Web dynpro for
    Java would be efficient and so on.
    However, when there is a situation where the  developers
    need to be trained before the project, which of these
    platforms would be the most efficient.
    Beside the evaluation  based on language of development,
    are there some other evaluation based on criteria like the
    ease of development, deployment and debugging, cost for the
    softwares and hardwares needed for the projects, contents
    of the class library, templates provided and so on?
    Does anybody have some supporting document that describes
    on which circumstances which of these technologies would
    be efficient while making systems for the client?
    It would be of great help if you could share your insights.
    many thanks,
    Sudeep

    hi sudeep.....
             whatever technology, you work in , the output is going to be the same and he ecnd user cannot find out what technology you have used.... ABAP would be better because its growing up fast and many applications are being created using web dynpro abap.

  • Srm-catalog portal content

    hi!
    does anybody know what is the special content that SRMMDMCAT01_0.sca have?  
    different iViews?
    if i'm implementing srm-portal-mdm-r3   it's necessary?
    because i'm not using all the srm catalog, and only installed the mdm portal content, i'll have some problems?
    thanx

    The purpose of SRM-MDM is to use MDM as the catalog.  You would store the data in MDM and SRM will then reference MDM ad-hoc.  As part of the implementation, SAP delivers a webdynpro application which is deployed on a Netweaver Java stack, and that's what the user uses to search the catalog.  The two applications (iViews) are called SearchUI and AdminUI.  If you aren't going to use these, how are you planning on searching the catalog from SRM?

  • Import/Export Portal Content between EP6 6.20 and 6.40

    Hi there,
    We are about to setup a second portal in Europe on 6.40, while the US portal will still be a EP6 SP2 on 6.20 for some time.
    I was wondering about the possibilities to share portal content between those 2 installations, especially iViews and pages (not using remote iViews). As long as the name of the related PAR files (code link) are the same, this should work.
    On the other hand, iViews and pages will have a different set of parameters like "Allow Client-Side Caching" or "Use API of Tray" based on different portal versions. What will happend when importing/exporting these objects from 6.20 to 6.40 or the other way around?
    Thanks,
    Florian

    Ivo, thank you for your reply.
    But I think mapping ports doesn't solve our problem.
    WAS 6.20:
    Just the context path will be send in the header field 'location' to the browser (located in the internet).
    In case of a redirect the browser mixes the server name of the sender (the reverse proxy) and the context path and sends the request to the reverse proxy. The reverse proxy forwards the request to the WAS 6.20 intranet server.
    WAS 6.40:
    The header field 'location' contains now the whole URL (with the server name of the WAS 6.40 system, which is only accessible from our intranet).
    In case of a redirect the browser takes the content of the header field 'location' and sends the request to the not accessible WAS 6.40 intranet server. Of course that doesn't work.
    So it it depends on the content of the header field 'location'.
    What can we do in WAS 6.40, so that the header field 'location' contains only the context path as it has done in WAS 6.20?
    Regards,
    Uwe

  • URL iView content translation not working using Portal Content Traslation

    Hi All,
    I am using Portal Content Translation to translate text of URL iView from English to Spanish. I am unable to do so. I have followed the below mentioned link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/74/641640b7b6dd5fe10000000a155106/frameset.htm
    I have used Content Admin -> Portal Content Translation -> Translation Worlist Coordination to:
    1) Generate worklist and add content
    2) Generte translation data
    3) Release for translation
    After this, I am using Content Admin -> Portal Content Translation -> Worklist Translation for following:
    1) Load worklist for translation
    2) Translate worklist
    I am facing difficulty in Translate Worklist. The step by step method followed by me are as below:
    I am clicking on Content Admin -> Portal Content Translation -> Worklist Translation.
    I am searching Translation Worklist and selecting my Worklist
    After this I am selecting following
    Source Language - English
    Target Language - Spanish
    Then I am clicking on 'Load for Translation' button. New screen appears. In this screen, Translatable Text table is shown:
    It shows following
    Number
    Source Text <EN>
    Target Text <ES>
    Status
    Object ID
    In Status I can see 'Not Translated'. I click on Next for three times as there are three line Number (0, 1 & 2)
    The Status does not change. It remains 'Not Translated'.
    When I am using following combination
    Source Language - Raw Texts
    Target Language - Raw Texts.
    I click on Next for three times as there are three line Number (0, 1 & 2). The status changes to Translated.
    I do not know what is going wrong with my process while selecting Source Language - English & Target Language - Spanish .
    I have another question. I have to translate content of entire URL iView. How I can change the whole content of URL iView.
    In the source text I can NOT see the contents of URL iView.
    Thanks
    Stuart

    Hi Prakash,
    Did you check whether the translation has been done completely in PCD inspector? Some times you would have translated using Portal translation but it will not be written in the locale of the iView property.  Then we have to set it manually in the PCD inspector.
    Follow the procedure.
    1. navigate to System Administration -> Support -> Portal Content Directory -> PCD Inspector
    This will open the PCD inspector.
    2. "Browse Into" the iview where you have developed it.
    3. Click on the "All Props" for the iView which you need to translate.
    This will open the Properties in new window
    4. Check the property "com.sap.portal.pcm.title" what is maintained in Chinese? if it still displaying in English text against Chinese, Then you need to  Edit the property for chinese and have to give the actual chinese word.
    Note  : I hope you would have selected "Raw Text"  for Source language and "Chinese" as Target language. Pls confirm on this.
    Thanks,
    Mahendran B.

  • Using portal metadata repository for portal content - performance impact?

    Oracle provides the Oracle Drive utility as a way of moving portal content directly into the portal metadata repository. The Oracle Portal Center site (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/index.html) provides links to several demos and technical papers that describe the use of Oracle Drive to copy file-based content into the Portal Metadata Repository (e.g., http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/pdf/cm_webdav_10g_webdav_clients.pdf). My questions are: (a) is this a best practice (b) are there potential performance problems with loading up the portal metadata repository with large volumes of file-based content?

    Hello
    It depends on what you mean by "large volumes".
    I use webdav scripts to create/update my files every night and it works fine. But it's rather slow.
    Questions are :
    - is it a one-time transfer to initiate Portal, and a regular one ?
    - how large are your files ?
