Temporary Objects in SAP Portal

At some circumstances, e.g. when the pop-up window is blocked by browser, modifying certain objects, such as the Default Page Template in SAP Portal will leave some temporary objects uncleaned and they will not expire.

This may cause SAP Portal behavior different among users. The reason is that some users may be associated with some temp objects and others may be with other temp objects.

The tool to clean these temporary objects is to use PCD inspector. Search for all associations or links to the temp object and delete these links first. Then delete these temp objects.

After it, System Admin -> Support Desk -> Portal Content Directory -> PCD Admin -> Release cache.

After it, reboot the server (depends).

SAP Portal - Direct Access to Portal Content Administration

I made a mistake and configured the Default Page Template::Element in Framework Page to None instead of Framework Page. 10 minutes later, I was getting errors like "disablePersonalize" is undefined, etc.. and I can't get back to Content Administration to change it back.

Try the NavigationTarget as portal?NavigationTarget=navurl://06d9a4f1c16a67d0305579b9459fb574.

It saved me.
