Hi All,

We are using custom task for leave approval application and i have modified the com.sap.pct.erp.mss.addon.xml as per the sap note: 1600953.

I could successfully upload the new configuration and cleared the cache after upload.

Below is the new code as suggested by the sap note

<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS91000073.SAP_ECC_UWL_200" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="defaultAction" executionMode="default">
      <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_ECC_UWL_200" externalType=" TS91000073" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
<CustomAttributes>
        <CustomAttributeSource id="WEBFLOW_CONTAINER" objectIdHolder="externalObjectId" objectType="WebflowContainer" cacheValidity="final">
          <Attribute name="REQUESTID" type="string" displayName="Request ID"/>
        </CustomAttributeSource>
      </CustomAttributes>
      <Actions>
        <Action name="defaultAction" groupAction="" handler="ObjectNavigationLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="Operation" value="approveleaverequest"/>
<Property name="ObjectValue" value="LRF_REQUEST_ID=${item.REQUESTID}" />
           <Property name="DynamicParameter" value="LRF_REQUEST_ID=${item.REQUESTID}"/>
            <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="true"/>

          </Properties>
          <Descriptions default="defaultAction"/>
        </Action>
      </Actions>

    </ItemType>

Even after these steps the value of parameter LRF_REQUEST is empty when we see the technical help after opening the task from the UWL.

Am i mssing any thing or any other configuration is requred? please help.

Thx.

Hi All,

When i am accessing UWL application in portal we are getting warning  "cannot Connect to Provider".

I did connection test of the system object and the connector is working fine (using SAP Logon Tickets). When checking the UWL log I have found the following messages:

"Problem in calling BWF API to retrieve inbox items in system

SAP_ECC_HumanResources"."com.sap.portal.connectivity.ConnectivityRuntimeException: No more storage to append internal table".

Please help me on this.'

Thanks,

Ravi.

On one of my recent SRM projects I had a requirement wherein a specific portal role was to be assigned to a portal user based on an action performed on one of the standard SRM webdynpro screen. The assigned role was also to be removed based on another action. Probably there could be some help available on SDN, but I was unable to find it. So thought of sharing this. Hope it helps some.....

SAP has provided a service wrapper interface /sapsrm/if_spml_srvc_wrapper with methods that help carry out operations on a portal user ID. I have shown below how a user can be assigned a specific portal role, y'all can try other methods available to create a portal user, delete one, delete roles and so on...

To assign a portal role we need to get the unique ID of the role which your portal administrator could provide you.

CONSTANTS:

*RFC Destination of portal in SM59

        lc_rfcdest        TYPE rfcdest VALUE 'PORTAL',    

*Portal user ID              

        lc_portal_user TYPE xubname VALUE 'TEST_USER',         

*Unique ID of the portal role

        lc_portal_role TYPE txt255 VALUE 'ROLE.PCD_ROLE_PERSISTENCE.EIuf/fYAf+G39przMn+8lcKhzII='.

DATA:

       lo_spml_wrpr   TYPE REF TO /sapsrm/if_spml_srvc_wrapper,

       lt_ep_roles    TYPE /sapsrm/t_ep_roles,

       ls_ep_roles    TYPE /sapsrm/s_ep_roles.

lo_spml_wrpr = /sapsrm/cl_spml_wrpr_factory=>get_spml_wrapper( lc_rfcdest ).

ls_ep_roles-uniqueid = lc_portal_role.

APPEND ls_ep_roles TO lt_ep_roles.

TRY.

     lo_spml_wrpr->add_role_ume_user(

       EXPORTING

         iv_logon_id = lc_portal_user

         it_roles       = lt_ep_roles   ).

   CATCH /sapsrm/cx_spml_connection.

     "Exception handling here

   CATCH /sapsrm/cx_spml_service.

     "Exception handling here

ENDTRY.

Dear all,

I am executing SUM to deploy SAPJVM Patches in Portal running on Linux Suse and Oracle.

First I had credential problems and i overcome it by changing the owner and mode or sapuxuserchk.

Now, I am facing the following error:

An error has occurred during the execution of the Read the global directory value step.

Assertion failed for (instanceToUse = null) at com.sap.sdt.j2ee.services.servicesimpl.DetermineSecStoreDirectoryService.determineSecStoreDir(DetermineSecStoreDirectoryService.java:95).

You can find more information in the files /usr/sap/SPP/SUM/sdt/log/SUM/DETECT-SECSTORE-DIRECTORY_01.LOG and ProcessOverview.html.

To troubleshoot the problem use the provided information. An SAP Note may provide a solution to this problem. Search for SAP Notes with the following keywords:

DETECT  input_credentials  input-credentials-dialog  detect-secstore-directory  com.sap.sdt.j2ee.services.servicesimpl.DetermineSecStoreDirectoryService  class com.sap.sdt.util.diag.DevelopmentSupportRequiredException

An error has occurred during the execution of the Read the global directory value step.

When searching in sap notes with recommended key worlds I could not find the solution.

Can you please help me top overcome this problem.

Hi

I am new to SAP portal. I want to customize our portal login page by adding a new button in the existing page. I know the default location of the war file(tc~sec~ume~logon~ui.war ) but since our portal has already been customized I would like to know the current location of my portal logon war file. I also came to know that there is no way to extract the war file directly from portal and that we need to go to th filesystem (usr/sap/sid...) in order to download the war file. Is there any way to find the location of my war file from portal???

Thanks in advance

Dear Experts,

While testing ABAP connection in Portal i am getting below error.

Hello Eperts,

In the UME of the portal when viewing an ID we can see the BILLER DIRECT Tab where you can view the profile of the user ID in the backend (ECC) and also assign Business Partners. All of sudden we noticed that this tab no longer shows up. Any idea what to do about this situation or where to check?

Hi,

If the portal or java instance is setup as UME = LDAP read only + database pointing to AD and the user is then assgined roles/groups in the Java UME with access to allow logon.

1. What is the password of the users to use?

2. I know the AD password is definitly not synchronised as it is one way encrypted. Does the user needs to be set a new password in portal to login with?

3. Will this password be stored on the Java UME only?

4. what happens if the users AD password changes, will it affect the password stored in the Java UME?

Thank you.

John

Hi Experts,

I am using Dynamic List to display Arcticles in other pages.

How to use dynamic list to display only the published content?

I tried the below scenario,

When I Provide the Design time path or Global Shared Content Path in the Target Folder Property of Dynamic List, it pulls out the articles, even before the page has been published.

I also tried to provide the Runtime path in the Target Folder Property of the Dynamic List, but it states that as incorrect target folder.

Please let me know,how to use the Dynamic List pointing to Runtime as we need to display the Published Content.

Thanks & Regards,

Palani

Hallo Guys

We rencently upgraded our EP Portal from NW7.31 to NW7.40 SP6

After the upgrade, the option to select portal content when browsing went missing. There used to be a button "SELECT" right next to the file. (Clicking on the file opens the document, it does not insert the link)

Reproduce the error:

1. Create/Open WPC content (e.g. Teaser, Linklist etc.)

    Go to: Area Management -> Content Library

    OR

2. For any of the Links, browse for the content on the portal

3. Try to select the file from the web content browser

Any ideas on how to get that button back?

Kind regards

Antonette

Hi Guys,

i have a problem with the Loadbalancing Configuration for the UWL Access to the Backend R3 Systems.

I go to SystemAdmin - System Landscape - System Management, choose my System an changed Connection Method from Dedicatedt Server to Load Balancing.

Then the Connection Test for Connextors did not work anymore.

If it is on Dedicated, all  three connection Tests (SAP Web AS Connection, ITS Connection, Connection Test for Connectors) works fine.

I allready read and configured the following (quite logical to fill in the SMLG Logon Group)

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw74/helpdata/de/4c/4c3bd7a12f6f83e10000000a42189e/content.htm

Bei R/3 mit Lastausgleich ( SAP_R3_LoadBalancing ) müssen Sie zusätzlich folgende Eigenschaften pflegen:

• Gruppe: <GRUPPE> 
• Message Server: <MESSAGE_SERVER> 
• Server-Port: <SERVER_PORT> (I tried 3200 and 3600)

If i try the connect after this, the Test for the connectors didn't work and in UWL i get the following message:

The Systemalias seems correct:

The Destintion in NWA seems correct configured too, ping will work>

I would like to distribute the connections from our NW Portal to the backend ERP System from our PAS to one or two other AAS via LogonGroups.

Thanks a lot for any Ideas to solve my Problem.
