I am excited to write this blog as we reached a key milestone for the SAP Enterprise Portal and the overall SAP Ux strategy.

I assume that you have all heard (and if not, I highly encourage you to read the following announcement) that SAP Fiori and SAP Screen Personas are now included in the underlying licenses of the SAP software. This is a major change that I (personally) expect to have a very positive impact, and will play a key role in renovating and improving the SAP User Experience.

In the last few months we have been working hard to align the SAP Portal Ux with the Fiori Ux. With SAP Enterprise Portal 7.4 SP7 it is the first time that we are delivering a new portal framework page following the SAP Fiori design. This is a new role based, personalized, responsive (based on SAPUI5; running on multiple devices), and very intuitive portal framework page, running on the SAP Portal infrastructure and following the Fiori Design. This is actually running the Fiori launchpad on the SAP Portal infrastructure.  Together with theFiori applications and the SAP Screen Personas Flavors, this will provide a new and highly improved user experience for the portal, while re-using the existing investment and key capabilities of the portal.

An important remark is that running the Fiori launchpad on the Portal, enables you to consume any type of content (Web Dynpro, SAP UI5, SAP Screen Personas, SAP Fiori, etc.). You are not limited to SAP Fiori applications only.

** there is an existing limitation to consume Fiori wave 2 and above applications in a standalone mode in the portal. This limitation is planned to be solved by Q3/2014.

Two additional new enhancements that will help you delivering a better user experience for your end users are:

• UI Theme Designer integration with the portal– UI Theme Designer is a browser-based, WYSIWYG editor used to customize the user experience. Now, the UI Theme Designer is also used to customer the look & feel of the SAP Enterprise Portal in a simpler and easier way across UI technologies including SAPUI5
• Broadcast Messages– a simple and intuitive tool to broadcast/send messages to groups of users in the portal, according to their role, assigned groups , etc.

Additional details:

• Overview presentation
• Fiori Launchpad on Portal on help.sap.com
• Known issue note FLP on EP - SAP Note 2008931
• SAP Fiori Integration with SAP Enterprise Portal - SAP Note 2031108

Those of you who had the privilege to attend the ASUG Annual Conference, had the chance to see all of the above live in the conference. At SAP D-CODE, we plan to show this and much more. So, stay tuned…

When we create a rule with Profile ALL and saved it it gets created but with error in the Rule activation column.

How to prevent the creation of the rule when there is an error.

As the number of browsers and their version is increasing, the need for a standard way of writing client side code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript etc…) so one syntax will be interpreted the same way on all browsers, is increasing as well.

This is known as “standards mode” rendering in browsers.

Today, browsers support also web sites which were written before the standards were created and published by W3C so those web sites will still be accessible.

This backward compatibility support is known as “Quirks mode”.

We at SAP are also in constant evolving and supporting the new way of rendering sites so every now and then we come across client side bugs that start to surface due to the more and more relevancy and adoption of the standards mode.

(In the picture: quirks and standard...)

More about Quirks mode and standard mode can be found here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirks_mode

One of these bugs causes iViews for wrong height calculation in IE versions prior to IE9, as the window.innerHeight property is not supported in those versions with standards mode.

The solution was to use "window.screen.availHeight" instead.

SAP note 2028106 fixes height issues in NetWeaver Portal page builder.

A good solution for rendering issues and browsers support is to use jQuery which has specific API which is the same on all browsers so that the developer does not need to implement many “if” statements in order to support all browsers by duplication of code with visual properties changed.

jQuery is also becoming more and more in use in SAP, but of course we still support our products which were not developed with jQuery.

Hi,

I need a java dictionary and a program which will read data from the log file and save records into tables.

Hi All,

We are working on SAP Netweaver 7.4 Portal.

Hi Experts,

I have to make an application on NWDS that reads the keywords and description data from the iview profile and puts them in the head section of the html page in which the iview is contained.

Is there any tutorial available?

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thank you,

Hi Team,

Is is possible to do NWDS Transport for Java based objects without having NWDI , I assume may be using CTS or Solman ?

We do not have NWDI .

Currently we folow the approach of direct deployment in Dev , QA, PROD by changing J2EE settings in NWDS , but want to get rid of this approach.

So please advice .

Thanks,

Dear all,

We have a problem with a newly installed Portal application server / Dialog Instance: it is missing all applications in
/usr/sap/EPQ/J00/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps.

Background:  Our QA Portal environment has had only one instance for many years; it is currently on NetWeaver 7.31 SP09.  I recently installed a new Portal application server / Dialog Instance (call it "Server2"), using the installation guide "SAP Systems Based on the Application Server Java of SAP NetWeaver on Windows: MS SQL Server Using Software Provisioning Manager 1.0."  The installation went smoothly.

I can start and stop Server2 normally, and can log on to it as well, but applications like ESS, Business Intelligence, etc. are failing.  At the file system level Server2 is missing numerous files and directories. Following are some examples:

• /usr/sap/EPQ/J00/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps
  Expecting 3 directories:  com.adobe, local, sap.com.
  What's in Server2:  only the sap.com directory
• /usr/sap/EPQ/J00/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com
  Expecting about 1,225 directories.
  What's in Server2:  only the irj directory
• /usr/sap/EPQ/J00/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/irj
  Expecting 2 directories:  PortalRuntimeContainer, servlet_jsp.
  What's in Server2:  only the servlet_jsp directory
• /usr/sap/EPQ/J00/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp
  Expecting 2 directories and 2 files:  root and work directories, epbc.war and web_crc.properties files.
  What's in Server2:  only the root directory
• /usr/sap/EPQ/J00/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp
  Expecting 3 directories and about 5 files:  META-INF, portalapps, and WEB-INF directories.
  What's on Server2:  only the WEB-INF directory

Any help or advice about these missing files and directories would be very much appreciated.

Regards,

Jill

Hello all,

We are facing this error DataNodeInfo(FcPerFamilyBR.SelectedInfotype): unknown child node Excep in some Portal applications after the EHP6 upgrade.

Affected applications are Per_Bank, Per_Family and Per_Personal. When we click process/edit button on these applications, we get the below java error.

Hi,

Recently we upgraded BO 4.0 from SP4.5 to SP7.9.

We first did in Dev environment then deployed the .PAR file through Par migration tool and it went successful, Webi reports are getting refreshed in Portal.

But while doing the same with Quality system, we upgraded to BO4.0SP7.9 and deployed the .PAR file in Portal via Par Migration tool followed by restart of quality portal.

But here any of the Webi reports are not opening and displaying message "Internet explorer cannot display page...".

Our Dev portal version is 7.31 and preprod portal version is 7.01.

I did certain Iveiw tests but no positive result out of it.

Would be thankful for any help recieved in resolving the above issue.

Jaywant Kulkarni

hello Guru's,

we have requirement to integrate SRM 7.0 EHP3 to Net weaver Portal .

Currently we have Netweaver 7.3 SPS9 in our Landscape , will this be sufficient to integrate SRM 7.0 EHP3  or  do we need to upgrade EP to 7.4 ?

Many Thanks,

Pandu.

Hi Friends,

I am trying to achieve SSO between SAP EP and custom Web App. I downloaded SAPSSOEXT and sapseculib from service.sap.com.

Using SSO2Ticket class in the jsp file,  I am trying to decrypt the ticket. But ending up receiving "java.lang.Exception: MySapEvalLogonTicketEx failed: standard error= 9, ssf error= 0" error.

The SPSSOEXT loaded successfully and am able to print the version of it using getVersion method. JSP throws an exception on execution of evalLogonTicket method.

        Object [] o = null;        try       {          // Validate logon ticket.          String x ="/home/sapj2ee/verify.pse";           System.out.println(SSO2Ticket.getVersion());          o = SSO2Ticket.evalLogonTicket(ticket, x, null);          //System.out.println (o.toString());        } 

All the required files, verify.pse, sapssoext.so and sapsecu.so have got all permissions.

Regards,

Nilz

Hi Experts,

After the Upgrade 7.3 EHP1  in Production System it is not visible the application developed in web dynpro ABAP, in the Employee Self-Service Portal.

In the QA and Development,  applications WD ABAP are visible.

What can happen in the Production system?.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

We want to integrate some CouldFusion templates on the SAP portal and I try to process the SSO Logon Ticket using the following code:

    sso = createObject("java", "SSO2Ticket");

    version = sso.getVersion();

    Application.CertPath = "/opt/coldfusion9/lib/verify.pse";

</cfscript>

    client = result[3]; //Third element is the client of the issuing system

Hi

We have just completed SSO between SAP Portal 7.30 and Windows Active Directory. We used LDAP Data Source. It worked as expected. In SAP Portal and Windows AD, we are using firstname.lastname user ID and in ECC backend server, we are using initial.lastname user ID. "Samaccountname" is used  for Unique Attribute for UME unique ID in LDAP Server tab.

Now, we have some other business request. In new requirement, we have to create new user in SAP Portal as initial.lastname (just same as in backend ECC server). theer would be no changes to Windows Active Directory User ID's (firstname.lastname).

Pls let me know how SSO will work if User ID's are different in SAP Portal and Windows Active Directory. Here we have to use LDAP Data Source.

is there any option to use other Unique Attribute for UME unique ID instead of "Samaccountname" to make it work? Pls suggest.

Thanks

Amar
