Portal Application Configuration problems

Posted on Nov 30, 2004 at 08:45 PM 22 Views

I'm trying to add configuration properties via the Configuration Framework as described in the Portal Runtime 6.0 doc, section "Configuration Management in Portal Application" and related sections.

When I export my PAR file (from Dev Studio) to the Portal, I receive an error that the export was unsuccessful. Also, no CONFIG ARCHIVE file was created in my project. Commenting out the PrivateSharingReference property in the portalapp.xml file fixes the export error but that doesn't really help my cause.

Here are details of my implementation:

In portalapp.xml, I have set PrivateSharingReference property value to

"com.sap.portal.runtime.config" under the application-config element.

I have added the following files to my project (named myProject):

<projectRoot>\config\configArchive.properties

<projectRoot>\config\data\myProject\myProperties.config

configArchive.properties contains the archive properties: ca.name, ca.version, cma.name, cma.version, and cma.storage.

myProperties.config contains my configuration data settings, using the format <parameter>=<value>.

I don't have a need for custom meta properties yet, so I didn't create a config file for meta data.

My understanding is that when I export the PAR, the config files I added should get stuffed into a configuration archive file, which gets copied to PORTAL-INF\config, and ultimately is added to the PAR. This is not happening.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Can anyone direct me to a good example of how to set up these configuration properties?

Thanks,

Scott

    Hello Scott,

    this problem is (most likely) due to an inconsistency between the document that you read and the version of the plugin which is loaded in your Netweaver Dev Studio.

    The best thing to do is to get the documentation of the config archiver plugin from the Dev Studio.

    Go to Help>Help Contents. In the left part of the help window you should find an entry called "SAP EP Plugins Guide" and a sub section is about configuration.

    My guess is that you will have to change the structure from config/data to src.config/install/data ...

    If you cannot find this, please get in touch with me directly and I will send you an up-to-date document.

    Regards

    Nicolas

      Thanks Nicholas!

      That was very helpful.

      1. My portalapp.xml file had syntax errors, so I fixed that and uncommented the PrivateSharingReference property.

      2. I changed the config structure as you suspected and in accordance with the devStudio help contents.

      The export was successful; configarchive was created.

      Now I have the challenge of figuring out how to access the configuration framework in the code. The API examples in the help content seem easy enough to follow, but they don't specify package names for the APIs. I found the api JAR in the com.sap.portal.runtime.config portal app on my portal and added that to my project's Java build path. However, not all classes in the example seem to be in the jar file:

      Configuration

      IConfigurationService (though there is an IConfigService)

      IConfigManager

      IConfigPlugin

      So I'm afraid I don't have the correct JAR file.

      Any idea where to find the correct JAR file or what the package name is for the API classes?

      PS: I don't know how to contact you directly; I don't know you're email address.

      Thanks,

      Scott
