Hi everybody:

I have a problem with assignation tasks and notifications in BPM.

I go to nwa>Configuration>Processes and Tasks>Process Repository , here I select my component and press the "Start Process.." button, when it starts I go to the History tag and get next error in notification activity: Error sending notification. Notification could not be sent to the following recipients: userexample@domain.com (Error sending e-mail).

On the other hand when I want to see the tasks within process flow diagram (choosing de component and pressing the “Process Flow” button) I can see that the tasks aren´t assigned and then the tasks and notifications don´t shown in the Universal Worklist.

NOTE: I´ve assigned the necessaries roles (Standard User Role and BPM End User) within NetWeaver Portal and also I´ve configured the SMTP service. I attached an image about unassigned task in teh process flow.

Hi Team ,

SAP Portal EP 7.3 is taking too much time to startup  in jsmon .

It took around 1 hrs to up the system . Is there any parameter's to tune in JVM , or configtool .

Please assist here .

Highly appreciate your inputs.

Thanks,

Pradeep.

Hello

I have problem in edition of some values by Theme editor so I'd like to edit them direct in CSS files ( mainly colors) and then to upload it again to custom theme.

So I made some correction in CSS files and then tried to upload them back.

I copied all files from ZIP with CSS with some modified files to file without CSS - doesn't work. I get an error - time out

Then I tried to add only modified files, but I created also a missing directory ls. There is a progress, no error, but only warning that something went wrong and I should look at log - I was looking but couldn't find any helpful hints. I tried to download zip file to check if my changes were done but values are still unchanged.

Does any one could describe me how to upload modified CSS files? And does changes in CSS files are visible immediately after successful uploading or the the server need to be restarted?

Any help???:-)

Hi all,

We are using SAP Portal 7.3 and we are using Custom theme. The tabstrips are not appearing properly (half broken).

I have tried changing the properties "Background color of selected tab" , "Background color of non-selected tab" and others in theme editor but this is not solving my issue.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Applies To:

Users - Portal Developers and Consultants, NWDI / NWDS Developers
Version - SAP Netweaver Portal 7.31, Netweaver Developer Studio 7.31 SP7

Summary:

This document explains in detail how to use NWDI for Portal developments using WAR files.

Background:

We upgraded our Portal from 7.0 to 7.31 which was a huge leap forward and there was so much things we need to consider while doing this upgrade. In 7.0 all Portal components used were all PAR files and now there are no PARS. You will have to migrate all these files. One of the challenges we had was modifying the standard Portal logon page. We had to go through numerous documents on how to modify the logon pages, how to modify the war files in NWDS using NWDI and how to package the war file into an ear and deploy to the server. All the pains gone through to make that a success is the reflection of this document.

Solution Implementation:

Now, lets jump on to what we are here for.

1. Open your NWDS and logon to NWDI. Navigate to the Development Configuration in which you would like to create this new development component.

2. Create a Web Module Development Component.

3. Give the Web Module DC Details. Click finish. This will automatically create an activity in NWDS and attach all the files and folders to it respectively.

4. It's time to now import the standard logon file from the server that was downloaded. Right Click on the DC and import WAR File.

5. Select the War File Location and a new local Web project name where the contents will be uploaded.

6. In the above step the default jar files will be added to the lib folder in the local web project. Additional jar files that are required to be added to eliminate the errors in jsp's can also be added.

7. Copy the Web Content Folder of local project and replace the web contents folder inside the NWDI DC.

8. Modify the JSP Files as required to customize your logon screen. Build the DC.

9. This DC is not directly deployable. You will need to package this into another DC of type Enterprise Application.

10. Give the DC Details.

11. Select the Web Module Project in the Next Screen so the WAR file is added to the deployment descriptor of the the new DC created for deployment.

12. Modify the application-j2ee-engine.xml file in the DC as below. Provider name for the application is usually your client name.

The provider name defines your namespace where your applications reside on the AS Java.

13. Now, Right click on your DC and Java EE Tools > Generate Deployment Descriptor Stub. This will generate application.xml file.

14.The application.xml file will look like the below. By default the Context-Root will be referring to the Web Module DC you created but you can modify the Context-Root Name to a different one which will be used in the NWA Configuration for the logon page.

15. Build your DC and Deploy it to the server.

Hurray !!! Next Step is your nwa configuration where you need to give the context-root name that we used above and restart the server.

Hi,

i was doing SAP EP 7.3 installation with oracle 11.2.0.2.

i stuck with the import java dump phase.

i could notice below from the jload log

"  

Jload -sec EPP,jdbc/pool/EPP,/usr/sap/EPP/SYS/global/security/data/SecStore.properties,/usr/sap/EPP/SYS/global/security/data/SecStore.key -dataDir /sapinst/51039309_java/DATA_UNITS/JAVA_EXPORT_JDMP_BPM -job /tmp/sapinst_instdir/NW73/INSTALL/NW73/ORA/STD/IMPORT.XML -log jload.log

Connecting to database

Couldn't connect to DB

com.sap.inst.common.exception.DBConnectionException: com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException: Exception of type java.sql.SQLRecoverableException caught: ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress   "

i could see sap note 942766 in that log . Below points are mentioned in that.

• Your database server is started.
• Your database instance is running and you can connect to it through the network interface
• The entries in secure store contain the correct options for connecting to the database. (These can be checked via configtool and this only applies to the case when JLoad is run using secure store parameters)

a)  my db is started and i'm not clear with the second point. The third point i cannot check since config tool not created yet as inst inprogress)

i checked listener and it is up  and db i could do startup mount but i cannot open.

Kindly suggest.

It overhidden & connected to BOBJ system directly & portal system is not apprearing.

I'm expecting that it would be displaying with in portal content area.

Please help me how to resolve this issue.

Hi Experts

We are running a Netweaver Portal in a cluster with 4 server instances and a web dispatcher in front. The welcome page is developed in WPC (Area Management), and sometimes we see a blank welcome page on one of the instances, after a short while, the page is fine again.

The server instance, with the problem, is not overloadet, so the webdispatcher redirects the users to that instance and they see a blank page.

Has anybody experienced this problem and have found a solution?

We are running Netweaver 7.3 SP09

Thanks

Best regards,

Christian

We have started our new SAP Portal movie challenge on SCN about 6 weeks ago. You are not yet informed about it? Read this announcement blog.

In the next months I will give you regularly some ideas which should work as a trigger for you to think about your participation in the movie challenge. There are so many topics to talk about concerning SAP Portal, HANA Cloud Portal, Mobile Portal etc. I hope this blog will motivate you to share your thoughts and experiences with the Portal community and to join the challenge.

Today I would like to ask you to share your SAP NetWeaver Portal scenario story with us. This questions aims to discover how SAP customers, partners, and consultants use SAP Portal: what were the projects you worked on? What Portal scenario was implemented? How did it solve your problems, what were the values of the solution for your customer, for your company? Tell us about your challenges, "pain points," and the ways in which SAP Portal and its product components helped to resolve those challenges.

Describing your SAP Portal scenario could mean:

• did you implement a customer, employee, supplier or partner portal?
• what was your scope: application, information or collaboration portal?
• was it an intranet, extranet or internet portal?
• what was the LOB: HR, Reporting, Sales, Support, Marketing, CRM, Procurement Portal?
• what was the industry, the portal was implemented for: ultilities, city, public sector, health, services etc.?
• Did you use mobile feature, content management, collaboration etc.?

How to proceed?

Hello,

I’m looking for change documents in user administration / identity management cause I’d like to know when an ABAP role has been (re)assigned to a portal role.

Are there these documents and where can I find them?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

We're in the process of upgrading our NetWeaver Portal to 7.4 and trying to improve it wherever possible.

We have numerous home pages which appear as the first landing page when a menu item if selected.

These pages are stored as HTML files in KM and rendered as KM Document iViews.

Is there an easy way of making these pages use the portal theme?

Currently we link to our own CSS file which means there can be differences in appearance and if a user selected a different theme (e.g. high contrast), these pages would not change.

I don't see any iView properties that could help.

I did wonder whether we could use Web Page Composer but from a quick test this needs some work to set it up before I can evaluate further.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Alan

hi Team,

I have requirement to add footer in ajax framework page in portal 7.3. But i dont find any container in ajax framework layout where i can add my footer ivew. like other container we have for masthead and detail navigation but nothing for footer. Can anyone have idea how to add footer in AFP.

SCN,

SAP doesn't offer a quicksizer for Web Dispatchers.  I have read "Sizing the SAP Web Dispatcher" deck.

(1)  Once SAPS are established, how is this extrapolated to hardware sizing?  (1a) Do I need to speak with a h/w vendor to understand the host system's SAPS capability?

(2)  If the system is virtual, how many SAPS do I allocate for VMWare?

(3)  For an SSL termination scenario, can anyone proffer a rule of thumb for server size depending on Messages/Second (ie for 1000 messages/second, how many 2 (2.4 GHz CPU) x 4 (GB RAM) servers with a single WD instance are required)?

All thoughts appreciated.

Thanks,
Sawyer
