Thank you Tim Palmer. I kept getting the connect y loop error. I finally came across your post. It worked!

There is an alternate way too:
If you have the component name, find out the corresponding menu name and enter the menuname.compname at the end of the URL to get navigated to the page directly, like
http:// …… /MENU_NAME.COMPONENT_NAME

@new to the game:
You might find this sometimes fails with “ORA-01436: CONNECT BY loop in user data” as the same component can exist in more than one portal. You can fix this by joining on all the keys:

select rtrim(reverse(sys_connect_by_path(reverse(portal_label), ‘ > ‘)), ‘ > ‘) path
from psprsmdefn
where portal_prntobjname = ‘PORTAL_ROOT_OBJECT’
start with
portal_name = :portal_name
and portal_reftype = ‘C’
and portal_uri_seg2 = :component_name
connect by prior portal_prntobjname = portal_objname
and prior portal_name = portal_name
and portal_reftype = ‘F’

SELECT DISTINCT RTRIM(REVERSE (SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH (REVERSE (portal_label),’ > ‘)),’ > ‘) PATH
FROM psprsmdefn
WHERE portal_name = ‘EMPLOYEE’
AND portal_prntobjname = ‘PORTAL_ROOT_OBJECT’
START WITH portal_uri_seg2 = ‘COMPONENT’
CONNECT BY PRIOR portal_prntobjname = portal_objname

Ratish > I’ve not looked into this, but there has to be a way to get the verity search to include custom components. Have you tried PeopleBooks?

After running the process, the search button works fine. But I have a problem here. This search only gives the delivered links n components. The custom components are not being serached.
Any inputs on this??

Did you create a new run control ID? You need to create one each time you run this. It seems to have problems if you reuse an existing Run Control ID. It is mentioned in PeopleBooks, but I can’t recall the details off-hand.

I get an error when I try to run build registry search index.

PeopleTools, Portal, Build Registry Search Index

“Error getting portal . (96,5)

Unable to open portal. PortalName = (95,307)”

I can’t locate in Peoplebooks what setup I need to do to create the search index.

How about using
Peopletools – Portal – View Menu Item Detail?

If your running DB2 V8+ (z/os) (not sure about luw). The following SQL can use recursion built in at V8+. it will return a answer like (this example used PRCSMULTI)

PeopleTools->Process Scheduler->System Process Requests

SQL:

WITH TEMP(PORTAL_OBJNAME, PORTAL_PRNTOBJNAME, PORTAL_LABEL, N, PATH, PORTAL_URI_SEG2 ) AS
(SELECT PORTAL_OBJNAME, PORTAL_PRNTOBJNAME, PORTAL_LABEL, 1, CAST(PORTAL_LABEL AS CHAR(100)) AS PATH, PORTAL_URI_SEG2
FROM PSPRSMDEFN
where PORTAL_URI_SEG2 = ‘COMPONENT’

UNION ALL

SELECT b.PORTAL_OBJNAME, b.PORTAL_PRNTOBJNAME, b.PORTAL_LABEL, N + 1, RTRIM(B.PORTAL_LABEL) || ‘->’ || RTRIM(A.PATH), A.PORTAL_URI_SEG2
FROM TEMP a, PSPRSMDEFN b
WHERE a.PORTAL_PRNTOBJNAME = b.PORTAL_OBJNAME
and b.PORTAL_OBJNAME ‘PORTAL_ROOT_OBJECT’
)

SELECT PATH
FROM TEMP
ORDER BY N DESC
FETCH FIRST 1 ROWS ONLY
WITH UR;
