Excel on KM Document iView.

Hi,
I created a "KM Document iView" and specified the path to a MS-Excel file. I preview the iView and the spreadsheet displays fine.
I add this iView to a Role and assign this role to a user. When user selects the tab and menu item to display the Spreadsheet, it displays the following error.
The alert message reads as "C:\Documents and Settings\knatarajan\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\WHYVOH2B\pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.pilgrimspride.bi.portal.PP_Portal_Group!2fcom.pilgrimspride.bi.portal.km.fld_KM_Reports!2fcom.pilgrimspride.bi.portal.km[1].xls could not be found. Please check the spelling....." etc.
Pl. let me know if any one faced this/or a similar issue.
I could also send screen shots if need be.
To start with I can't understand why it looks for this location for the file instead of retrieving it from the server.
Best Regards,
Kumar

Thanks for your reply Jarek.
Is there a way to force the excel to display in a read only mode?
I see that preview also works with KM Document iView when the path is set to <b>/guid/8084ab95-97cc-2810-bdb0-d1497b82b2be</b> instead of <b>/PPC/External/ToRicos.xls</b>. But again the access from within the role in runtime errors out.
com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException: Cannot assign a java.lang.String object of length 82 to host variable 1 which has JDBC type VARCHAR(64).
Is there any other resolution besides using a url iView?
Best Regards,

Help with KM Document IView pointing to Excel Spreadsheet

Hi, I created a KM Document IView that points to an Excel Spreadsheet that is stored in a KM Folder. When I execute the IView it prompts me to save the "Unknown File Type" instead of just opening it up for me.
What do I have to do to get this to open up directly in the IView?
Thanks,

Hi,
Check if the excel extension is in uppercase, if so then change it to lowercase.
Check Mime Handler Service , where you can set property to have both uppercase and lowercase:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/07/b6b0d706fb44caab64750a0bdaba09/frameset.htm
If this is not your problem, then check if your mime type is properly registered here:

Saving changes in KM Document IView

Howdy Folks!
I am displaying an Excel Document on my Portal Site using an KM Document IView.
This Excel Document is editabel for users of the Portal Site that they can leave information there.
For example, it could be a public document and everybody can leave his/her adress, phone number, birthday, etc.
So how can the changes (entries) of users be saved in the Excel List? Is it possible to display the menu bar (save button) of Excel files in the KM Document IView?
I'am pleased to receive help and answers.
Thanks a lot!
Dominik

Not possible in KM Document iView.
Suggest using WebDAV or Web Folders. KM Document iView is display/download only.

Including Excel-File in an iView

Hello,
i have a problem with including an excel-file.
I want to include an excel-file in an iView, so that the users can open this excel-file, modify this excel-file and save the modified excel-file.
If i have the excel-file in the KM-Content-directory the users get only a copy of the document which has a write protection. When an user try to save this document he can overwrite the existing document without problems. But he has to sign on. If he opens this document which was saved he must sign on every time.
Do somebody know this problem or has an idea for solving this problem?
Is there a possibility to open a file from a directory in our network, so that i have not to upload this document in the KM-Content-directory?
Please help me
Philipp Mink

Goto content admin-- portal content -- content provided by sap -- end user contentstandard portal usersiviews com.sap.km.iviewsurl access -- KM document iview -- open -- property category -- Authentication Scheme -- make it to Default
Hope this solves ur problem

How can I use KM document iView in a room TEMPLATE?

I want to use a KM document iView in a room template. The target document for this iView will contain some standard html content for every room built from this room template. This file's content and the folder structure for the room template will come from a room extension. The iView should be able to display the HTML in the target document, which will always have the same name (roomHome.html). How can I configure my room template so that each instance of rooms built from this template will be able to navigate to its own unique instance of roomHome.html?

It's not possible to tag text with multiple languages in Pages 5. Go back to Pages 4, which should still be in you iWork folder.
For the whole doc in Pages 5, use Edit > Spellling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar.

KM document iViews no longer work after upgrade to SP18

We just upgraded to EP 7.0 SP18 from 7.0 SP14. After the upgrade, our KM Document iViews no longer show the content within a page. They look corrent when you preview the iView.
Before you ask, we have already installed [SAP Note 1319278|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_ep_pi/~form/handler], by loading the 2 attached PAR files (com.sap.portal.epcf.loader.par and com.sap.portal.navigation.contentarea.par). This did not change anything. Does anyone know if there are additional steps that need to be taken with installing this note? The note mentions SAP NetWeaver 7.00 SP18 Patch 3, but we can not find that in download area. Or it there another issue?
Thank you ahead of time,
Andrew

KM Document iView for file download - filename

Hello,
we have a hyperlink on our portal logon page for downloading a word document. This link points to a KM document iView. The iView has the property "Path to Document" set to the document in the KM.
By clicking the link, a file download pop-up appears. But the filename of the downloadable file is the path of the iView - and not the real name of the document.
Is there any possibility to get the real name as name for the downloadable file? Or should we use another iView?
Any hint is appreciated!
Best regards,
Matthias

Sorry Tom!
Your problem seems to be different, I've no idea.
But we already fixed our problem, I forgot to post. Here's our solution:
The solution was to create a KM Docs iView with anonymous authentication schema pointing to the download file. Then we created an URL iView pointing to this KM Doc with appending the filename AGAIN to the URL (because otherwise the iView ID will appear as filename). In the page a hyperlink now is pointing to the URL iView and after clicking it, the download starts with the correct filename.

What do I need to do to display a MS Word, Excel or PDF document in browser

Hi, Right now I have photos loaded and displayed in my HTML document in the browser next to a report...
What do I need to do to display a MS Word, Excel or PDF document in a browser?
I use the following procedure to load the content to the region of my HTML .
This gives an EDIT link to the photo...
select
'[img src="#OWNER#.display_thumb?p_file_id=' || nvl(file_catalog_id,0) || '" /]' "File"
from "FILE_CATALOG"
where "FILE_CATALOG_ID" = :P9_FILE_CATALOG_ID
This is the procedure to load the content to the region of my HTML .
create or replace PROCEDURE "DISPLAY_THUMB" (p_photo_id in number)
as
l_mime varchar2(255);
l_length number;
l_file_name varchar2(2000);
lob_loc BLOB;
begin
select mime_type, thumbnail, photo_name, dbms_lob.getlength(thumbnail)
into l_mime, lob_loc, l_file_name, l_length
from photo_catalog where photo_catalog_id = p_photo_id;
-- Set up HTTP header
-- Use an NVL around the mime type and if it is a null, set it to
-- application/octect - which may launch a download window from windows
owa_util.mime_header(nvl(l_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
-- Set the size so the browser knows how much to download
htp.p('Content-length: ' || l_length);
-- The filename will be used by the browser if the users does a "Save as"
htp.p('Content-Disposition: filename="' || l_file_name || '"');
-- Close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- Download the BLOB

PortalRuntimeException in Business Object document iview No portal component associated with the following context

Hi all,
We are stumped with a problem in our QA Enterprise Portal (7.3.1 Sp7) that throws a portal runtime error when we preview a Business Objects document iview. The Business Objects Server versions are 4.0 SP5 and/or 4.1 SP3.
The error is caught in the the defaultTrace file, /usr/sap/QNW/J00/j2ee/cluster/server0/log
[EXCEPTION]
com.sapportals.portal.prt.runtime.PortalRuntimeException: There is no portal component associated with the following context:
pcd:portal_content/com.summit.SES_BI/com.summit.iviews/Daily_Margin
at com.sap.portal.prt.component.PortalComponentContext.<init>(PortalComponentContext.java:93)
Here is what we have tried
* Confirmed the iviews exist in the PCD, by browsing to the content folders and right lick, preview on the iview.
* Our PRD and DEV systems work correctly and are on same versions of EP Runtime and java. 7.3.1.7.0.201..
* Occurs with all Businessobjects iviews from the QA portal and all doc types, webis, dashboards. Tried creating new iview.
* Reapplied the com.sap.businessobjects.iviews.templates.epa to the Portal from t he BI 4.1 SP3 distribution
* Deleted and recreated the BI portal system connector using the SAP BOBJ system template set path to http://bi-qas:8080/BOE
* Set the embed key value in the BI system connector property and in the custom global.properties file, restarted tomcat and SIA services
* Set permissions for everyone end user on the content folders and the BI system connector
* Confirmed Single sign on configured correctly between BI and Portal
* Confirmed that the QA BI server is configured correctly by directing the working DEV Portal to the QA BI server.
* Performed actions in note 1709737
We are certainly stuck and the defaultTrace file is not very informative. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

This is resolve with note 1615838 - SAP Netweaver Enterprise Portal 7.3 iView creation with BI 4.0 results in exceptions.
The note includes a file portalapp.xml that need to be inserted into com.sap.businessobjects.iviews.par that is included in the BI server distribution.
Then deploy the ear file.....
Odd thing is that the note mentions 4.0 and we are on 4.1 SP3...

KM document iview transport & the document transport in KM.

We are EP 7.0 SP 18.
I have created a KM document iview in dev system and set the Path to document porperty of the document iview to guid of a document in KM.
Transported both the iview and KM content to QA system, epa and kmc files.
The iview fails to load. After, intial debugging. I found that the GUID is changed for the KM document after transport. Is it normal? In that case how are the KM document iviews going to work.
PLease, let me know the fix.

Hi Raj1234,
See i m telling you the exact phase of transport how you can do but some part is missing from your end...
System Admin->Transport->Export-> Portal COntent>Click on respective folder>Make the transport package>
When the package is made --> than again Add on folder level and Add All objects to transport package or you can define single -2 AFter that
Mandatory :
In Right Property Editor - Resolve Refrence is "Yes" mode
second Transport mode is in "data_and _acl"
Select all added item (ivews package) and click on export->Start Export>Download the file. Same as when you uploaded your fle in another server in Importing the file.
This will helpful to you and know which part you are missing.

Can KM Document iView be used through Remote Role in Federated Portal?

I have a Producer Portal and a Consumer portal using Remote Role Assignment. In the same remote role, the KM Navigation iView is working fine, but the KM Document iView is giving http 400 error (The webpage cannot be found). I understand normally we should put KM on the consumer. But some of our KM document iViews are used in the roles in the BI portal, which is the producer.
I cannot find SAP document or notes that tells "If KM Document iView is supposed to work through Remote Role". If you could clarify for me, I will know if it's worthwhile to troubleshoot the issue.
Thanks,
Fubo Liu

Hi Fubo,
There are no restrictions regarding the KM documents iView in the Central Note regarding FPN: [880482|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_ep_pin/~form/handler%7B5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d383830343832%7D]
So this should work fine.

I am getting the same error:
Item not found
/alias/userhome/<user.id>/Personal Documents/EmployeeDocuments/90001554
The item you are attempting to access is not available. Check that the name or link is correct. You might also check whether the associated repository is currently accessible.
I tried adding the missing subfolders: EmployeeDocuments/90001554 in KM and then I get another error:
Path Configuration Error
The path of the current item (/userhome/cmm2/Personal Documents/EmployeeDocuments/90001510) is not a subpath of the given startpath (/userhome/%3Cuser.id%3E/Personal Documents/EmployeeDocuments/90001510). Please make sure that the startUri-parameter is equal to or below the configured path.

Anyone figure this problem out?

Unable to open a KM document iView

Hi Experts,
I've uploaded an xls file in one of the folders in the KM content. I've created a KM document iView in order to access the uploaded xls file. Now when I click on this iView in the portal I get a dialg box wherein it asks me to Open, Save or Cancel the file. I am able to save the file succesfully in my lcal desktop but if I choose the option to open the file directly without saving it, the file does not open up and it displays another dialog box to Save or Cancel the file.
I've also uploaded a pdf file in the same folder in the KM and have created a KM document iView to access it and I am able to open it properly without any problem.
The problem is coming only with the xls file.
I am able to open the xls file directly from the KM folder. But I am not able to open it as a KM iview.
I've checked the "Path to Document" property and it is absolutely fine. The file extension is also correct and the file is not corrupted.
Could any of you please help me in fixing this problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag

Hi there,
Actually the name of the xls file is "US_Material_Group_GL_Account_Mapp" and the size of the file is 361 KB.
Now the "Path to document" as defined in the KM Document iView is "/etc/<OuterFolderName>/Help Files/US_Material_Group_GL_Account_Mapp.xls".
Now, I don't think that the name of the xls file or even the path defined in the "Path to Document" property exceeds 217 characters.
Could you please have a look at the file specifications once as provided and suggest something?
At present I am using IE version 6.0 and I tried it out in higher IE versions also but it did not work out.
Or does it have any association with the MS office files and I did not face any problem with pdf file.
Also, is there any other kind of iView that can be created for an xls file which is kept in the KM folder?
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag

MSS 60.1 Employee Documents iView problem

Hi guys!
I have implemented MSS BP ver. 60.1.19 and have problem with Employee Documents iView. It points on non-existing KM folder. However, if I would create it, it wouldn't help, because the portal creates user home folders in another path than the iView uses. Have someone of you solved this problem?
Thanx for answers!
Peter

We had this problem and SAP gave us some new PAR files which fixed the problem.

Reg:- Custom Error Message for 404 error in KM Document iView

Hi All,
We have a requirement to display a custom error page instead of the standard"404 - The requested resource is not available" displayed in KM document iView, when the resource in question doesn't exist.
Is it possible to display custom error message? If so, how can we achieve this functionality? What are the settings to be made?
Appreicate your help.
Thanks and Regards,
Pavithra

Hi Ravi,
Thank you for the reply.
But the scenario what I am talking about is different from the one mentioned in the link.
I am using a KM Document iView. In the iView parameter, Path to Document, I have given the path to a document which does not exist in KM.
For example, Path to Document - /documents/Test Folder/abc.html.
There is no document by the name abc.html in KM.
In this case, I get an error called "404 - The requested resource is not available." How can I get rid of this message and show a custom message instead?
Please note that, this message appears at the iView level (and not page level as mentioned in the link)
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Pavithra
