Hi,
I would like to modify the toolarea of our SAP Enterprise Portal. Basically, I just want to move the tools to the right hand side.
<b>Problem Description</b>
According to several threads I found on sdn
it should be fairly simple to modify the tool area.
- download com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea.par from portal server
- import the downloaded par file into your NetWeaver Developer Studio
- Change the ToolAreaiView.jsp in project folder dist/PORTAL-INF/jsp
- Save changes
- Deploy project to the portal server (
>File
>Export
>Par File
><Name of your project>
>Next
>...)
- Remove the standard Tool Area iView from your Framework page
- Create a new iView from your uploaded par file (chose default component)
- Add new created iView to your Framework page
Done, you should see your customized tool area. Unfortunately I encounter a Portal Runtime Exception (Page could not create the iView). I did exactly as described above.
- I downloaded the com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea.par.bak file from
>System Administration
>Support
>Portal Runtime
>Browse Deployment
>ROOT
>WEB-INF/deployment/temp.
- Extracted the com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea.par after changing the downloaded files file extension to zip
- Imported the extracted par file into Netweaver Developer Studio under a new project name
- Found the ToolAreaiView.jsp in project folder dist/PORTAL-INF/jsp
- Did NO changes
- Exported the project into a par file and deployed the par file to the portal successfully.
- Removed the old Tool Area iView from the Framework page
- Created a new Tool Area iView from my uploaded par file (default component)
- Added the new created iView to the Framework page.
- I logged on again and instead of the Tool Area I see an error message
<i>Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : pcd:portal_content/sdm_Germany/de.sdm.kellermann.folders.home/de.sdm.kellermann.folders.coreobjects/default/frameworkPages/de.sdm.kellermann.coreobjects.frameworkpage/de.sdm.kellermann.iviews.toolarea
Component Name : null
Page could not create the iView.
See the details for the exception ID in the log file</i>
<b>Background information</b>
J2EE Engine: 6.40 PatchLevel 89291.313
Portal: 6.0.11.3.0
Browser: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP2
NWDS: 2.0.11
Any ideas what I did wrong? I appreaciate any kind of help.
Best regards,
Martin
