Portal clustering and a filesystem repository

I have a portal application deployed onto a cluster of two nodes each deployed on different machines A and B.
If I configure a file-system based content repository, would I have to place the binary files in both A and B?
I do not have a networked file system and will have to use the filesystems on these machines for storing the content.
thanks in advance,
Mani

you can consider exposing the filesystem from the webserver. From what I know this will add to the performance as well.

  • Can Portal and OID Metadata Repository be shared?

    Hi
    I am designing a solution for my client which includes Portal and OID implementation. I was then posed the question whether the portal and oid metadata repository should be shared. Is there any best practice that anyone can share? Thanks!
    Regards
    Dave

    Hi Dave,
    I had faced this question once & I opted to use a separate Database for the Portal Schemas.
    I am not aware of any document that details the best practices - but, my deisgn was based on the fact that the Portal Schemas would grow in future based on the number of Portal Pages & Applications. Our Client had forecast hat they would be using Portal quite heavily & hence, a separate MR was the way to go for us.
    We just installed a new Oracle Database, used the Oracle Metadata Repository Creation Assistant & registered the database with Oracle Internet Directory. During the installation of Portal, the Oracle Universal Installer offers a choice of Metadata Repositories for the Portal Schema.

  • Content node name problem during creation on portal 9.2 cm filesystem repo

    Hi all,
    We are developing a portal site using weblogic portal server 9.2.
    We are using the portal built-in content management system of the portal admin app. And We use the filesystem repository (with library service disabled) to store our content data by following the setup on documentatation.
    We use the create_db.cmd script to create the cms tables in a oracle database. The input contents' binary files and metadata are successfully stored in the filesystem directory and database correspondingly.
    However, we encountered some bugs/unexpected behaviour on creating/uploading binary data when using the content creation form.
    The problem is that when we try to create a content with one (required and primary) binary property, the node name of the new content does not always follow the name input by the user. The content node name will changed according to the uploaded file or the binary property name defined in content type, which are unexpected behaviour. In fact, we expect the node name stay as the same (with extension padded) of what user input on creating it and the property's filename should use this name.
    When we use the WYSIWYG editor to create the document of the binary property, after saving the document, the filename of this binary property automatically changed to the content type's property name, after clicking save button on the content, the node name of the content changed to the content type's property name too!
    When we upload file for this binary property, the property 's filename changed to the uploaded file's filename, and changing the node name of that content too!
    We would like to know what would cause this kind of misbehaviour/bug,
    could it be caused by misconfiguration on server? the filesystem repository? the database scheme?
    Any helps or suggestions on it would be greatly appreciated.
    Best Regards,
    Keaton

    Thanks for the reply jalpesh, you answered the filename on file upload method.
    But what about the filename changes due to create document (WYSIWYG editor) method. The content filename changed to the property-name.ext about saving the content, which is quite a strange behaviour. As the user will not be able to add the same type of content on current directory cause the content filename follow the property-name.ext and cause same filename conflicts when saving.
    We are using the weblogic portal server 9.2 MP 2 with oracle database (bea type 4 connection driver).
    Any advices or suggestions?

  • Difference between portal component and portal service?

    Hi I am kishore...
             I worked on portal components but not on portal services... Would anybody tell the difference between the portal components and portal services...? What is a portal service..?
               How we know which one to choose in the scenario.?
        Thanks in adavance

    Hi kishore,
    A portal component is custom Java code that is executed according to user requests, and generates HTML output for display on the client.
    Portal components:
    Page builder, which assembles pages
    Admin tools, such as logger, which is comprised of user interface messages.
    Pages
    Technically, the page is also an iView. A page includes iViews or pages (nested) and Layout components
    iViews
    There are two different isolation levels (iView types)
    Embedded: iViews’ html is embedded as part of page html. iViews are called synchronically on the server, and retrieved in one response, to  the client (this is the page response)..  Each iView reloading reloads all iViews on page.
    URL (Isolated): iViews are fetched by an IFRAME element in an “own” request. One response for the page followed by additional request-response for each iView (depending on browser 2-4 requests simultaneously).
    Portal Services:
    A portal service is a component that offers a globally accessible function in the portal. 
    A portal service act as the middleware, that is, interfaces that are enabled to exchange procedures and data. They offer functionality to portal components, and other services.
    There are two groups of portal services:
    Portal services (part of the PRT)     
    Caching                     
    Notification
    iView service
    Application Repository
    System Landscape
    Role, pages, worksets
    Web Services
    Unification service
    Portal services (external to the PRT)     
    Client Eventing                 
    URL generator
    Logger
    JCO client service
    Hope this helps.

  • Simple Web and regular Web Repository errors... Need Help

    Hello all!
    We're running into a problem with Simple Web and regular Web Repository managers in our QA portal environment.  These repository managers work very well in our Dev portal, but now that we're trying to implement them in QA, of course they aren't working.  :-\
    I set up a specific web site in our Web Repository manager.  However, when I navigate to the repository's folder in KM, it just hangs. When I go to the Component Monitor and look at the Web Repository manager, the server is in red. The Status is "startup failed" and the specific error is:
    "2008-01-07T19:47:48Z: GET /WhitePages/Spider: com.sapportals.wcm.WcmException: sending request to: http://hostname.company.com/ request uri: /WhitePages/Spider Connection timed out:could be due to invalid address (java.net.SocketException: Connection timed out:could be due to invalid address)"
    When I try to set up the same web site in the Simple Web Repository Manager, I receive the same error.  However, we shouldn't need a proxy configured because this is an internal web site.
    This works in our Dev environment, so what configuration should I be looking at specifically?  Any tips from anyone?
    Thanks in advance to everyone!

    Hi,
    As far as I know such type of problems are common in repositroy managers.
    They work on one and don't on the other.
    Possible reasons could be the connectivity and access issues.
    As u r saying that it is an internal website pls chk connectivity of the QA system with the webserver.
    Check ur Repository manager's configuration once again in Sys Admin.
    Last option is to create a new Web RM in QA.
    I know it is irritating but doesn't takes much time right.
    i hope this helps.

  • WLP92 - BEA VCR CMS with Filesystem Repository has a bug?

    We have detected a problem when the BEA Virtual Content Repository has been
    configured to use Filesystem Repository.
    The problem arises when we try to create a second html-document to some
    content folder where there already exists an html-document (file.html).
    Namely, we can't find a way rename the automatically created filename
    (file.html) for any of the files. This lack causes duplicate error when we
    try to create the second html-document.
    Steps to repeat the problem:
    - change the repository to use Filesystem Repository:
    1) change Connection Class to
    com.bea.content.spi.internal.FileSystemRepositoryImpl
    2) add property cm_fileSystem_path = c:/temp
    - add new content to a folder, e.g. a document of type 'article', choose
    "Create Document", enter the content and save it.
    - repeat the previous step -> A RepositoryException was thrown:
    com.bea.content.NodeExistsException: Node: file.html already exists.
    This problem seems to us so obvious that there must be some fix for it or a
    way to circumvent it (otherwise than not to use Filesystem Repository and
    use Default Repository instead).
    Has anybody a working solution for this problem?

  • SSO between Portal Application and Portal Admin Tool

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement for implementing SSO between a Portal application and
    Portal admin tool.
    We are using WL Portal 8.1 SP4.
    Here is the reason for this requirement -
    A user logged-into Portal Application needs to login to Portal Admin tool to
    do some admin activity. We want to provide a link in the portal application
    using which the user can directly login to the Portal Admin tool without
    having to enter the credentials again.
    If someone has any info on how to implement this, can you please point me in
    the right direction.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    When creating PP you have 2 options
    PP used for compiling and PP used for Building
    You create PP with all the libraries into Developing/Compiling Other DCs
    And another PP with all the libraries into can be packaged into other build results (SDAs).
    Once you have these 2 PP in place you add the DC as used DC.
    And this should resolve the issue.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers-

  • Is Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.

    All I want to know is if Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.
    I have been planning and deploying my companies first Windows Server 2012/SQL Server 2012 Always On cluster and Always On Availability Groups Multi-Subnet cluster and instances for SharePoint 2013, and I will be brutally honest, the documentation on either
    the MSDN and TechNet leave alot to be desired. Continually finding links in the documentation will take me from a Windows 2012 reference to a page talking about Windows Server 2008 or R2, The differences of which there are so many when it comes to configurations,
    settings, roles, services when working with SQL Server 2012. I have been confused, frustrated, screaming mad, with all the misdirection in this documentation.  The documentation takes me windows 2008 R2 which is different than 2012!
    Tired and trying to pick myself up off the floor!
    Greg
    Gman

    In general, DTC is not required for SQL 2012.  But, since you are asking specifically about SharePoint, it would be better to ask in a SharePoint forum.  They would be more likely to know those situations where FTC might be needed by SharePoint.

  • How to add 1 more column in standard portal UWL and map the values.

    Hi
    I have one issue/requirement, please help me out on that also.
    In portal UWL, i want to add one more column TICKET ID COLUMN, and ticket id value I  will be putting as work item ID of abap Workflow, so whenever  approver opens his portal UWL, in first column i want to show ticket ID say 00012345, so how to add this ticket ID column in standard portal UWL and how to put/map  value of work item in that column.
    My idea behind this is, when ever say employee wants to know the status about his ticket ID, he can simply ask his manager regarding the ticket status by referring to that ticket ID which manager can easily find in his portal UWL in that extra TICKET ID COLUMN .
    Do I have to change anything in SAP inbox also ? Do i have to add 1 more colum in sap R/3 inbox also ? and will adding 1 more colum in sap inbox (R/3 inbox), will create automatically one more ticket ID colum in portal UWL also ?
    please let me know , as i do not want to add 1 extra column in R/3 inbox, just i want in portal UWL extra ticket ID column should come and i want to put workitem ID generated at the start of workflow, in that colum in portal UWL
    please help me on this.
    Thanks...

    Hi Satyam,
    These are called custom attributes.  Here is a powerpoint that may be able to assist you with the documentation that the other poster gave you too.
    Always remember too when you make a change on the backend R/3 side, you must reregister your UWL connector.  And yes, the column must be available on the backend R/3 side.  We can't create on the fly columns in the UWL, that have no reference to the backend system in this case.

  • Best Practice for Portal Patches and effort estimation

    Hi ,
    One of our client is applying the following patches
    1. ECC 6.0 SP15(currently SP14)
    2. ESS MSS SP15(currently SP14 with some level of functional customization )
    3. EP 7 SP18(currently SP14)
    We would like to kwow the best practice for applying portal patches and the effort estimation for redoing the portal devt on the new patch.
    o   What is the overall level of effort with applying Portal patches?
    o   How are all the changes to SAP objects handle?  Do they have to be
         manually re-entered?
    o  What is the impact of having a single NWDI instance across the
        Portal Landscape during the Patch process?
    Regards,
    Revathi Raju.

    Hi Revathi,
    o What is the overall level of effort with applying Portal patches?
    overall effort to apply the patch is apprx 1/2-1 days for NW7 system. This is exclude the patch files download because it's based on your download speed.
    o How are all the changes to SAP objects handle? Do they have to be
    manually re-entered?
    Depending on your customization. Normally it wont effect if you created the customzation application apart from SAP standard application
    o What is the impact of having a single NWDI instance across the
    Portal Landscape during the Patch process?
    Any change that related to NWDI, you might be need to re-deployed from NWDI itself.
    Thanks

  • Difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.

    Hi Experts,
    What is the difference between Abstract portal Component and JSPDyn page.
    Thanks,
    Jay.

    Hi,
    The PDK provides two methods for creating a portal component:
    Abstract Portal Component
    The Abstract Portal Component class offers a lean method for writing HTML commands to the Web client as well as for basic event handling. It is an implementation of the IPortalComponent, which is the central abstraction of the Portal Component API.
    DynPage
    The Page Processor Component, which extends the Abstract Portal Component, returns a DynPage. It provides more sophisticated event handling. Controls that produce events (such as buttons and checkboxes) have an event attribute that contains the name of the event handling method. This event handling method is invoked by the DynPage when it occurs.
    The JSPDynPage is an implementation of the DynPage and allows the use of the DynPage in combination with JSP (Java Server Pages).
    The PDK documentation and examples focus on the DynPage. Easier event handling and the separatation of content development (JSP) from application development (Java) make the DynPage a better choice for components with interaction and changing content.
    For more details, Refer thes thread,

    Regards

    Hi,
    if I understood your latest information correctly your request is that the files are stored automatically to storage category if you add a file to a document info record and save it. To achieve this behavior the first important setting here are the flags "Checkin" and "Checkin required" which are already set for the used
    document status.
    This first setting enables the automatic start of the checkin process. But to have a specific storage category choosen for an original workstation application, you have to do another setting and create a profile in your system in the customizing under
    - Cross Application Components
        - Document Management System
            - General Data
                - Define profile
    For this profile pleasee add your workstation applications under "Determine definitions for applications". Here you can maintain the default storage category for this application in field 'Storage cat.'. Since this profile is created assign it to all your users directly. Then if an user adds a new original file and chooses a workstation application the system should take the storage category automatically from the profile.
    Another proposal would be to use the BADI DOCUMENT_STORAGE01 which should offer also methods to control which storage category should be taken for which workstation application. I hope that this information could be useful for you. To set up this scenario in detail I would recommend you to contact your local consulting organization too which will help you in realizing a solution that meets all your requirements.
    Best regards,

  • Array of clusters and in the cluster is a bar meter, how can I change the color individually?

    Array of clusters and in the cluster is a bar meter, how can I change the color of the bar meter individually for each element of the array?  I have just figured out that you can't change properties of one element of the array without all elements changing.  For the scaling I had to make numeric indicators for each tick of the scale so that each bar meter in the clustered array would have individual scales.  I also had to do some math to scale each barmeter to display correct proportions from 0 to 100%.  Now I'm stumped on the color of the bar meter.  Basically, if the value goes over a setpoint, the bar meter needs to turn red.  It has to be in an array to be infinitely scalable.
    Thanks
    Matt
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You can't do that-
    without a little trick.
    You could consider laying a custom color box over the bar graph in the cluster you can set the color based on the value of the bar graph or even make a "Pseudo"- bar graph using a series of color boxes stacked to look lie a bar and changing values of the Color boxs from empty to full to red.
    Here is an example to demonstrate
