Content Server crawler that mirrors the structure

Is it possible to crawl section(s) of Content Server so that it mirrors the folder structure of the content server section, creates documents for all File Content Items and maps the security of the content items to documents?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got error when communicating to the server.
This happens when crawler is not able to connect to the server. Make sure server name is correct. Couple of steps to troubleshoot it
You should be able to ping the server from the server having crawl component. Make sure there is an entry for the server in the host file under c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder.
Ping <servername>
2. You should be able to connect to the server using telnet command
Telnet< servername> <port number>
More information:
Troubleshooting of FAST Search Configuration
If the issue still exists, you can delete the old search application and recreate from the beginning.
You can also reset the index and do a full crawl after.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

After renaming the field name in content server,I am get the Exception

Hai All
After renaming the field name in Content Server I got one Error Like
*<ERROR> <oracle.ucm.idocs> <UCM-CS-000001> <General Exception>*
intradoc.data.dataexception !csRequiredFieldMissing2 dRevLabel in UCM.
Thanks,
Hari

I think it is somehow related to your other question - pure renaming (that is. changing the text of the field's label) should not have an effect what-so-ever, but you probably somehow changed something in a required parameter, so that it is empty now.

What DNS server is that in the window.. 65.254.254.102

So. I have 1 DNS server, 1 DC, 1 GC etc. One.
It essentially is a lightweight network only serving a few PCs. Strangely it is getting these events for a DNS that doesn't exist.
The dynamic registration of the DNS record '_ldap._tcp.pdc._msdcs.araroprinting.com. 600 IN SRV 0 100 389 AGPYYC-SVR-003.araroprinting.com.' failed on the following DNS server:
DNS server IP address: 65.254.254.102
Returned Response Code (RCODE): 5
Returned Status Code: 9017
For computers and users to locate this domain controller, this record must be registered in DNS.
USER ACTION
Determine what might have caused this failure, resolve the problem, and initiate registration of the DNS records by the domain controller. To determine what might have caused this failure, run DCDiag.exe. To learn more about DCDiag.exe, see Help and Support
Center. To initiate registration of the DNS records by this domain controller, run 'nltest.exe /dsregdns' from the command prompt on the domain controller or restart Net Logon service.
Or, you can manually add this record to DNS, but it is not recommended.
ADDITIONAL DATA
Error Value: DNS bad key.
I have looked this up and down all over and can't seem to find a) an answer that work and b) the DNS entry anywhere in the server. So what gives? I read through this conversation and it's almost identical. There is no old domains anywhere and I have run
through all the suggestions. Anyone have some insight?
-Jake

Hi,
You may try to restart NetLogon service on DC, in order to re-register related DNS record. Open CMD and type each line and end with Enter:
Net stop netlogon
Net start netlogon
Check your DNS server and to see if the record is listed.

Migrate the document from database to Content Server

Dear All;
There is a ECC6 using for 5 years and I am setting up a External Content Server which link to this ECC6 server, from now on the new incoming documents like scanned document, email etc will save to Content Server.
However, for the past 5 years those old incoming documents that save in the ECC database, how can l migrate it to Content Server? In the past the document mostly save with GOS (generic object service) option.
Please advise.
Thanks
Jordan

Hi Jordan,
from DMS point of view I would recommend you to see the reports DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 which can be used to transfer original files from older storage to KPRO storage logic.
If you want to move the originals from an archive or vault to a Content
Server, please use the DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 report I
would kindly ask you to see teh documentation on DMS_KPRO_CONVERT report
in transaction SE38, which explains the whole process and gives
necessary information.
This conversion program offers two possibilites:
- Complete migration:
The meta data of the document info record and the checked-in original
application files are migrated together. The checked-in original
application files are transported into the storage catgories.
- Step-by-step migration:
In the first step meta data is migrated. The original application files
remain in the old storage data. The migration of original application
files starts after you have processed the files with the integrated
viewer and checked them into a secure storage area.
I hope this information could be useful for you. Further I would
really recommend you to get in touch with your local consulting
organisation because this is a very critical and individual process.
To grant that the whole migration is done correctly I can only advise
you to contact your local consulting organisation.
Best regards,
Christoph

FileName from the Content Server

Hi All ,
I need to show the FileName of a File uploaded into SAP Content Server .
Example if I upload fiel ABC.pdf I should be able to get the name "ABC.pdf" form content server
is there any FM available ?
Note : While storing the file into content server it is creating the unique ID(system generated GUID) for each uploaded File.
Using this ID I am able to show the contents of file using FileDownload but the label I need to show as the FileName and
not the ID.
Regards,
Ravi

I am having this problem as well, with IE5.0 as well as IE5.5 on Windows 2000. I have tried the above suggestion and that doesnt seem to work. I have also tried to use a
Content-Disposition of "inline" to just view
the document and that seems to work incorrectly too; an IE dialog comes up
asking to open/save the download JSP.
I have tried loads of variations and based
my code on Marks stuff posted in this group
e.g. renderContent.
Any more suggestions/work arounds?

MySql Cluster under the Content Server

Hi
Can you use MySql cluster with the content server?
One of the requirements is that the database supports transactions. With MySql it is highly recommended useing the InnoDB storage engine.
So my question is can we use the NDB storage engine.
Regards, Marinó

NDB has not been tested against by Adobe, so we don't know one way or the other. However given the limitations in SQL Syntax and Transactional support, it is likely that this will not work.

Can the WCC mobile app (iOS and Android) work with an SSO protected content server?

We have just configured Single Sign On with Oracle Access Manager for our WebCenter Content server (and also for the WCC ADF UI). Everything works fine, even the Desktop Integration, except that now we cannot connect anymore from the WCC mobile apps.
Is there a solution or is it really not possible to combine mobile access with SSO?

I just found the solution:
Add the following resource (type: excluded) to the wcc application domain in OAM:

ANy idea wats going on.
I have done the required changes in the confd of the webserver, Content server is accessible from the webpage. I am also able to login as sysadmin.
Not sure wats going wrong.
Thanks

You can sometimes get issues on the file system with file locking occurring and so UCM can not clear up/move the schema files properly.
It may not be this but...There should me a metalink note about this deleting schema directories.

Content Server Installed but doesnt respond

Hi,
    I have installed the Content server on Win2K3 as given in the installation guide.I have installed for file storage on the file system.
    After installation i got the message that everything is ok.But then when i execute the command
http://<server>:<port>/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo
    I get the response as page cannot be displayed.I want to use the content server for DMS storage so that i can use KPro instead of the vault.
    Same thing when i do
http://<server>:<port>/
    I get a pop-up asking for the user-name and password but when i give the user name as administrator and password it doesnt allow access.
    Please advise
Regards
Ankan Majumdar

Note Number : 361123
Symptom
You want the SAP Content server to work properly.
Other terms
Signed URLs, AdminSecurity, SsfVerify failed
Reason and Prerequisites
The SAP Content Server was installed in accordance with the installation guide. For new installations, we recommend that you use the latest released version of the SAP Content Server, regardless of the SAP System release to which the SAP Content Server is connected.
Solution
This note provides additional information on different aspects of security when using the SAP Content Server.
Security against data loss
     The SAP server content stores the contents of the confidential document either in an SAP-DB instance or in the file system. To avoid data loss, the usual measures for databases and file systems are taken. These are only mentioned briefly here: Redundant hardware (mirror disks, raid systems and so on), regular backup (log files, backup). When you back-up the Content Server, note that you also have to save the ContentServer.ini configuration file as well as the Security directory in addition to backing up the database instance or the directories of the file system used for document content.
     Note 319332 describes backup strategies for a Content Server with database folders.
     SAP does not have a tool for backing up file system folders. In this case it is the responsibility of the customer to select and convert the backup strategy. Here you should note that, for a complete and consistent backup of a file system folder, it may be necessary to shut down the Content Server for the duration of the backup.
Security against unauthorized accesses on filed contents
     Before you access the content server, an authorization check usually occurs in the SAP system. However, the content server is usually accessed using a disclosed HTTP log. To make sure that only authorized accesses are possible, 'signed URLs' must be used. Signed URLs are URLs that were signed by the SAP system. You can recognize signed URLs because they are considerably longer than unsigned URLs and contain additional parameters. The signed URL, in particular, contains the additional parameters expiration (expiry time) and secKey (digital signature). A signed URL is only valid if the expiry time has not yet been exceeded and if it contains a valid signature. In order that the signature can be checked by the content server, the public key (certificate) of the SAP system must be stored on the content server and tagged for the corresponding repository. Transactions OAHT, OAC0 (as of 4.6C) and CSADMIN (as of 4.6C for SAP content server) are used to transfer the certificate. The certificate must be activated on the content server for the repository. Use CSADMIN to do this (for SAP Content server).
     In order that the digital signature of the SAP system can be used properly, EVERY SAP system must have its own unique certificate. To ensure this, a 'PSE' must be generated once in every SAP system after this SAP system is developed. Use transaction PSEMAINT to do this (note 354819).
     To protect the connection between the Content Server and its SAP-DB instance, the name and password of the database user can be changed and stored in encrypted format in the configuration of the content server. For details, see note 661852.
Access control for the administration
     The content server is partly administered from within the SAP system, and partly from outside it. When it is administered from outside, you must ensure that only authorized persons have (administrative) access to the server on which the content server is running. The (administrative) access to the database (note 212394) must be restricted accordingly.
     In order that administrative accesses from the SAP system are only possible for authorized persons, the parameter AdminSecurity must be set to 1 in the content server. You will find details on this in the installation documentation of the SAP Content Server.
Protection against server hardware outage
     The Windows version of the SAP Content Server can also be installed in an MSCS environment (Microsoft Cluster Server). For more detailed information, see "SAP Content Server 6.20 in an MSCS Environment", dated March 4, 2003, in the "News" section on the SAP Service Marketplace (http://service.sap.com/ha
     The duration of the non-availability of content servers, cache servers and alias servers can be reduced with the automated operator intervention described in note 484459.

Timeout when retrieving document from Content Server

Dear experts,
after the migration of an R/3 Enterprise system with a file-based Content Server (CS without database) we experience significant delays when a document shall be retrieved from the Content Server and displayed.
The repository, from which documents are retrieved, has the following properties:
Document Area = ArchiveLink
Storage Type = HTTP content server
Obviously the delay is caused by time-outs when R/3 tries to access the content sever.
The RFC trace recorded during the document retrieval contains the following entries:
Trace file opened at 20100825 104048 CEST SAP-REL 640,0,304 RFC-VER 3
Trace file opened at 20100825 104115 CEST SAP-REL 640,0,304 RFC-VER 3

I wonder why R/3 first attempts to contact the Content Server via the SAPCMS RFC destination rather than using HTTP (SAPHTTP)? - The connection tests for both RFC connections are successful.
Is there a way to instruct R/3 to go via the SAPHTTP RFC destination as the first choice and NOT via SAPCMS when documents shall be retrieved and displayed?
Thank you,
Rainer Walter
Edited by: Rainer Walter on Sep 3, 2010 3:07 PM

Hi Ravindra,
thank you for looking into this problem. The Content Server is not based on SAP DB/MaxDB. The repositories are represented as plain directory structures in a file system.
My issue is that R/3 is not using the SAPHTTP RFC connection as first choice although the repository is flagged as "HTTP Content Server" but uses another RFC destination instead. When this attempt is timed out, R/3 eventually picks the appropriate RFC destination. So it takes a considerable amount of time until a requested document is finally retrieved from the repository in the Content Server.
I am confused because the system where I experience this behaviour has been built from a system copy of a production system, and the Content Server for this new system has been built from scratch. In the original production system, no timeout is found when users are retrieving documents, and obviously the original R/3 system is using SAPHTTP right away. The original production system and the new system built from a system copy are accessing different Content Servers.
I am looking for a way to instruct the new R/3 system to immediately use the SAPHTTP connection when talking to the Content Server, and I would be grateful for a hint where I can configure this to get rid of these timeouts.
Best regards,
Rainer

Latest version of Content Server

Hi All
I need some assitance in understanding what the latest version of the Content Server is. I know 640 is probably the one, but what confuses me is the content Server Service on SICF on the ERP system for example. Now, does that mean the content server is integrated to the system or do we still need to install a stand alone Content Server. What other way can we implment DMS without the use of the content server, i.e. can the portal knowlege Management achieve the same? if so, what are the prerequisites and pros and cons?
Thanks
Ronny

Response to your second question: Portal Knowledge Management is a stripped down version of DMS. It provides basic content management features with embedded asynchronous and synchronous collaboration(review,rating,feedback,discussion etc).
SAP DMS (with content,cache server setup) typically cater to a long term Document Management strategy involving designs, drawings, technical specifications etc with rich features like Markup and redlining,Document life cycle definition, Distribution strategies, Digital signature, SAP R/3 Object linking,CAD integration etc. The storage options in SAP DMS are:
1. 'DMS Storage' option(may store in SAP DB,Vault,RFC Archive), you can store upto 2 originals/documents and 99 additional files.
2. 'kPro Storage' option(may store in SAP DB,HTTP Content Server), you can store 'n' originals/documents and 'n' additional files
NOTE:
HTTP content server
Either the SAP Content Server or a third-party content server can be used.
SAP database
If you want to store your documents in the SAP database, you need a content table. All your documents are stored in this table in the SAP database. The content table can be cross-client or client-specific.
RFC storage system
RFC is used for storing documents in the context of SAP ArchiveLink, the Archive Development Kit (ADK), or an application that uses SAP ArchiveLink or the ADK.
Logical repositoryThis storage type allows access to different physical repositories, independently of the client and the system ID.
Structure repositoryThe structure repository is only used in the SAP Knowledge Warehouse environment.
The content server is available for free on SAP marketplace for exisiting SAP customers. This needs to be setup on a separate hardware(specifications can be arrived at after contentserver sizing). The storage limit using content server can be scaled upto 50+ terabytes of data.

Hiding XML elements in the structure view – scripting influence to the structure view?

Hi
Is there a way to hide specific XML elements (really the elements and not the attributes) in the structure view?
I am asking this question to know if it is possible to influence the structure view by scripting.
Many elements are indeed used as a kind of help for constructions which have nothing to do with the actual contents especially in the case of tables.
You inflate the the structure view unnecessarily and the author will lose track of the real contents. It would be nice if there was a possibility to hide those help construction elements.
Thank you for any hints.
Regards
Apollo102

Hello Apollo,
There is a way to hide elements from the Structure View (one such method is offered by the free AXCM plug-in). What happens when you use AXCM (or other methods to hide elements) is that the elements get wrapped into hidden content. This might make the structure view less complex for your authors, but has a number of disadvantages and dangers.
1. The structure is normally invalidated, as the helper elements are usually required.
2. Accidentally deleting hidden content may make the invalidation permanent and render your documents useless.
It is NOT good practice to hide elements from authors in the structure view. Instead, you should either teach authors about the structure, or let them work in the Author View while adding sufficiently clear formatting to show them the underlying structure. In some cases, it might be better to create an authoring structure which is automatically transformed into the required full structure using an XSLT or other processing step. I have created a couple of such environments and they work fine. It just depends on the difference between the structure required for further processing and the structure that would be optimal for your authors (which in turn depends on the level at which your authors are experienced in working with structured content).
I hope this helps you solve your problem without having to tweak the structure view.
Kind regards
Jang

Content Server 6.4 Windows Server 2008 R2 First Test Blank HTTP response

I have installed Content Server 6.4 with MaxDB 7.6 on a Windows 2008 Server r2 system as directed in the "installation guide for SAP Content Server for Windows 2008" at service.sap.com/contentserver -> Media Library
-> Literature. Whenever I test the installation (a CACHE server) with this command:
http://localhost:1095/Cache/CSProxyCache.dll?serverInfo
it sits for about 20 or 30 seconds and then simply returns a blank screen. If I refresh, it returns immedilately, again a blank screen. There is nothing produced in the IIS logs at C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1. I am at a loss.
FYI, I used the 50105790 DVD for the installation of Content Server and MaxDB.

I have solved my problem. I initially started by installing the software, putting the databases online, and since I was only installing CACHE SERVER and not CONTENT SERVER, I never attempted to test the CONTENT SERVER URL. After many failures, I then also installed CONTENT SERVER, tested it, and it worked. I found that the database DID NOT have to be online for testing of CONTENT SERVER. That was where things went south. I assumed that the database did not have to be online for testing the CACHE SERVER HTTP URL as well and thus continued my future attempts without the database online. I finally found that with a combination of SAP NOTE 658442 in regards to giving the NETWORK SERVICE proper permissions (even though it says it is for CONTENT SERVER 6.3), plus making sure the databases are ONLINE, I had success.
