WPC / Short URLs / two Toplevel Navigations?!?

Hi there,
i have a question. I use the WPC to create websites in the Portal.. also our Portal Startsite.. wo what i want to do is to create a Short Article and put there some links in to other Portal Applications.
For example...
Our Startsite:
Welcome to our new Startsite..... etc...
Here you can find the New Application XYZ.. click here: XYZ
In the WPC i create a new LINK in the Article with the Short URL of the App.. looks like:
https://portal.host.com/irj/portal?navigationtarget=navurl://a789a49d67ecebe5c185c013bc67a916
So when i click now on the Startsite on this links.. the App opens.. BUT the problem is.. the link opens the complete Portal IN the Portal.. so then i see the Toplevel Navigation twice... ?!
How can i create a link on a website in the Portal so that the link opens the app in the Portal with only one Toplevelnavigation?!?
Regards
Bjoern

Hi Bjoern,
If youu2019re using WPC Editor to create your links, you need to specify u201CTopMost Windowu201D as the target window.
To do this, click anywhere within your hyperlink, click the u2018Edit Hyperlinku2019 button on the WPC Editor toolbar, and select u2018TopMost Windowu2019 as your Target Window.
Hope this helps,
Harman

Navigation using Short URLs

Hi,
I need to navigate from one page to another using short urls. I have a page P1 with iView V1 in it. I have another page P2. The hierarchy is as folllows:
Role R1
..|__ page P1
........ |__ iView V1
..|__ page P2
By clicking on a link in iView V1, i need to navigate to page P2 using short urls.
I am passing the long url of page P2 (ROLES://portal_content/.../roleR1/pageP2...) as a iView property to V1.
Can someone provide the code as to how to retrieve the short url(hashed valued) from the long url and how to navigate to page P2.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Melwyn.

Hi Romano,
Thanks for the reply.
I tried the code snippet you gave me.
However the method getNavigationNodeHashedName() is not appearing in the list of methods.
I am only able to see the methods getInitialNodes(), getFirstNode(), getNode(), getNodes() and getNodeByQuickLink().
Following is my import statement.
import com.sapportals.portal.navigation.INavigationService;
The jars that i am using are com.sap.portal.navigation.api_service_api.jar and com.sap.portal.navigation.service_api.jar.
NWDS ver 7.0.15
Portal ver 2004s SP 15

Any Security Problems with Navigation with Short URLs?

Hi ,
I want to use Navigation with Short URLs for my users to access the portal. But if the users give that Short URLs to other non-users , will the URL open?
I will give the role for the users only. Non-users will not have particular role.
Are these Navigation with Short URLs are safe to use?
Advise me.

Hi,
The iview have "EveryOne Role" and "Super Admin Role".
The portal will not allow any "anonymous" users, because it needs atleast "EveryOne Role" for the access.
Will this create any problem.
I think the "EveryOne Role" is there for the user, if the iview1 assigned for role1 but still in the permissions of iview1 have the "Everyonerole" , it is allowing user to access this right?
Then I need to remove the EveryOne Role from the permissions.

How is highlighted item in the toplevel navigation bar chosen?

Hi,
I have an Iview (containing a BSP froma CRM backend system) in the Portal (EP6) which contains a hyperlink, which contains this:
http://xxx.com:80/SAPPortal?NavigationTarget=%2Fglobal%2Fservices%2Finstalled%2Fcom.sap.pct.crm.UrlDispatcher.default%3F.... etc.
When I click the hyperlink, a new Portal window opens with another backend iView. Here is the strange thing: for some people the highlighted toplevel navigation item is correct (matches what the new iView is actually showing), but for other people the very first (leftmost) item in the toplevel navigation is highlighted instead. In this case it seems that some selection of the highlighted item has failed and the Portal simply picks the very first one to be the highlighted item. The difference is in the persons Roles. The hyperlink is identical, but the resulting screen is different (and the URL visible in the new window is identical as well!).
When I bring this problem to the Portal developers at my company, they tell me it is probably a backend application error. However, the BSP always creates the same hyperlink, and once clicked the backend CRM system is not utilized in any way I can think of.
So, can anyone out there a) think of some possible ways in which the different EP Roles can affect this, so I can suggest things that the Portal developers can look for, and b) what kinds of traces can I run so that I can then show a difference to the Portal developers.
Or could it REALLY be a backend application problem? I am not a Portal person so I just need some ammunition to get the Portal guys working on the problem.

OK - here's the official answer from SAP... the users for which it was not working had manager profiles. There are two sets of profiles, one in EP, one in CRM. The CRM database table that links them is CRMC_PRT_ROLE_MO. This table looks at the CRM Roles, picks the one with highest priority, and assigns a string to the hyperlink. The string is passed to the Portal where it is interpreted according to the EP Role.
Our solution (from SAP): create a manager role in CRM, assign a special string to that Role, and give it a higher priority than the regular role.

Capture the Node clicked / selected in Toplevel navigation

HI
How to capture the node that is clicked by user in the generated toplevel navigation from the taglib.
I need to pass the TAB/MENU name selected by user to another JSP using session or request object.
<nav:iterateInitialNavNodes>
       <li class='Level1'><nav:navNodeAnchor navigationMethod="byURL" />
        <%-- check to see if there are level 2 nodes, if so start another <ul> and assign a CSS class --%>
        <nav:ifNavNodeHasChildren>
            <ul>
            <%-- again go through all the nodes in level 2 --%>
            <nav:iterateNavNodeChildren>
       <%-- id l1 is written for second level hover and to set its css properties --%>
                <li class='Level2' id='l1'><nav:navNodeAnchor navigationMethod="byURL" /></li>
            </nav:iterateNavNodeChildren>
            </ul>
        </nav:ifNavNodeHasChildren>
        </li>
    </nav:iterateInitialNavNodes>
Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
I got the answer, I am closing this.
Its very simple , the FPN is implemented , the URL of the portal will be appended with "Short Cut" or "Navigation Parameter" with
NavigationTarget
and
NavigationTarget=navurl://abd78e32mkf233nm892
What we need to do is, in the JSP, read this as
request.getParameter("NavigationTarget")
and check whether the user hit the same TAB in the DLN menu with
navurl://
and write the logic as we need.
Thanks for all.

Short URLS

I have created some links in the masthead via a jsp page. The links use the Short-URL provided by portal but the iViews/Pages that the links point to are set to Invisible in Navigation Area (they really don't 'belong' anywhere so I had no place to put them in the TLN or DTN. I have three questions regarding this.
First when I click the link it automatically selects the Home->Home Page from the TLN and highlights them as though this is the page you are viewing when indeed it is not.
Second the URL Address retains the Short-URL after the user has gone away from the iView/Page so if they refresh it takes them there and not the home page.
Third I have one link that opens a Web Dynpro Application - I would prefer this open in a headerless window. URL set up like this
HREF="/irj/portal/?NavigationTarget=navurl://ea5eb6a6dd34b23acede90c1804ae156" target="_blank"
It opens in a new window but it opens the entire portal (even though the iView is set to open in a headerless window).
Does anyone know if there are workarounds for any of this? While the first two would be nice to have the third is kind-of a must so any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi TA,
The first two issues you face are nuances of the SAP Portal - just the way the navigation service works.
However to answer your third and most critical issue, I would suggest that rather then having the link to the iView like you do using a short URL and the ?NavigationTarget=abcec... you should just call the iView directly like http://myserver:port/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3a.... you can get the right URL by previewing the iView or page via the PCD. That way you won't get the whole portal opening in the new window, just the iView.
Hope this helps you.

Simon

Short URL issue

Dear Experts,
I am able to find the short URL for the following iView in Development portal.
ROLES://portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.roles/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_travel_expenses/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.12.tripform
However, I could not able to find the short URL for the same iView in Quality portal.
Would appreciate if you could help me on this please.
I checked the following configuration in QA
1.The said iveiw(WDA) has been opened in QA more than once
2.Short URL is activated in system admin in QA portal.
Thanks and Regards,
Tarani Jena

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your reply, which is helpful.
I have done the following steps again
Look at the iView in Content Admin to be sure you know it's technical name
2. In the Portal, navigate to System Administration --> Navigation --> Short URLs (which is in detailed navigation)
3. Verify that short URLs are active inthe top of this screen
4. in the search field below, enter the technical name of your iView (use an asterisk before and after it to be safe) then click 'Search'
5. you'll see the results below and find the short URL for this iView
I could able to find the short URL in Dev. However could not find the short URL for the same iView in QA. Any idea, what am I missing in QA?

Exclude or restrict toplevel navigation to less roles

Hello,
in one of our use-cases for the Netweaver Portal we want to give all employees two basic roles. This is done best by assigning these roles to the built-in group Authenticated users. So far so good.
But what are our opportunities if we want the hide these two roles in the toplevel navigation for a specific group of people. So approximatly 98% of our users should get the roles but 2% shouldnt. I cant take this 2% away of the group authenticated users.
We would really appreciate any help on this issue and reward points.
Thanks and regards
Markus Armbruster

Hi Markus,
I still can't see where the admin overhead with PCD filtering should come from. It's just a rule which the portal admins have to be aware of - but noone has to "do" anyhting, so there is no additional administrative task (once it is implemented). The question "users start asking why they're not seeing some content" would be the same independent from the technique you will be using!
Anyhow, if you prefer implementing my second approach, I would advise this only in EFP scenarios and not as you wrote removing some of the initialNavNodes, but just not to render them. Within an EFP / light TLN, you have control over the TLN entries which will be rendered, and it would be easy to check the nodes if they are one of the two "maybe-to-hide"-nodes and in this case to check the current user, if the nodes i´n fact shouldn't be rendered. Still, that would happen on server side.
Hope it helps

Short URLs table is empty...

Hello,
When I go to System Administration->Navigation->Short URLs I get an empty non-populated table even though it's enabled (Use short URLs is set to true).
Why is that and how can that be filled?

Let me know.

Enable/Disable Short URLs: When the short URL feature is enabled, all navigation URLs sent to the server are in short form. These URLs can be seen when, for example, adding a page to browser favorites.
In order to use the Short URL's you need to
1. Set the "Use Short URLs" property to "TRUE". This is done from System Administration -> Navigation -> Short URL's
2. View the iViews atleast once from the portal, so that a short URL is generated before you can use the Short URL.
