Unable to create File System Repository using Network Path

Hi All,
I am trying to create a File System Repository.
I created a networkpath and windows system and used the same while creating File Repository according to the steps in help.
With out using Networkpath(i.e.,If I use IP address,I am able to create File System Repository).
But with the network path,it throws the following error as seen in Component Monitor.
<b>Startup Error:    The localroot does not exist: C:\usr\sap\IGTE\j2ee\j2ee_00\cluster\server\NWP_001
My network path is NWP_001
</b>
Did any one face this problem?
Any help please........

Hi,
I am getting the same error even if I replace(\) by slashes(/).
I tried on EP6SP12 as well as EP6SP2 and got the same error on both.
The repository is searching for a folder named with
n/w path on the portal server itself(i.e, it is searching in the following folder
<b>C:\usr\sap\IGTE\j2ee\j2ee_00\cluster\server\NWP_001
My network path is NWP_001</b>),instead of searching on the remote system.
Can any one help me in solving the problem
Thanks in Advance.

  • Unable to create File System Repository manager

    Hello,
    I would like to create File System Repository manager to this path: I have mapped a certain Network drive "
    main-uni-fs1\pictures$" to the Portal Machine and under this machine it appears as drive "N:\", inside it there is a picture folder which I would like to create the mapping to. I tried setting the "Root Directory" value to "N:\" and to "
    main-uni-fs1\pictures$" but I keep receiving an error message at the Repository Component Monitor (see below).
    10X,
    Roy

    Hello Roy,
    1> Create a new path that points to the pictures directory on the system. Enter the path lik
    mypc.myorg.com\pictures
    Under Sys admin -> Sys Config -> KM -> Content MGT -> Global Services -> Network path
    Under the user name and password, enter your username and password
    username whould be entered like domainname\username
    2>Then create a system in for the mypc.myorg.com server under
    Sys admin -> Sys Config -> KM -> Content MGT -> Global Services -> System landscape definitions -> System -> Windows Sytem.
    (Assuming u are acessing a windows sytem from a portal running on windows platform).
    You need to enter system id and description . Kindly remember the system id, since it would be useful in two places while usermapping and creating the file system repository.
    3>create a file system rep mgr under
    Sys admin -> Sys Config -> KM -> Content MGT -> Repository Managers > File System Repository
    Following properties are most important.
    Name , ACL manager cache, Security manager(which you would have to set to W2kSecurity manager)
    prefix(this is the folder name that you will identify your repository with) Widws landscape System (this is the sytem id of step 2) and root directory (network path of first step only in this case enter it like this //mypc.myorg.com/pictures)
    4>Then under user mapping section, you will find you system (the system id of second step) , enter your name as password.
    Initially when you configure your rep manager, you dont need to start ur servlet engine. If you modify any property then you need to re start ur servlet engine.
    These are the steps for creating repository
    If this still does not get resolved. Then kindly read the limitations of creating the file system repository manager in the link that I had posted in my earlier post.
    Thanks and Regards

  • File System Repository - using DFS path

    Hi, I want to integrate a windows share through a DFS (distributed file system) path. I only found this thread about DFS support where Marcel Rabe says that they have connected KM to a Microsoft based DFS.
    Has anybody else managed to use a windows share through a dfs path?
    I've created a network path where I have configured the dfs path with the correct user and password. I've provided the domain for the user like this:
    domain\username
    Then I've created a File System Repository where I have defined the same dfs path as Root directory. I use AclSecurityManager but I've also tried to change it to "not set".
    The Component Monitor shows the following error:
    Startup Error:  getting mapped math - Access is denied
    But I know that the username and password are correct.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Marcel,
    that's exactly the problem we are experiencing with the same setup and same error-message.
    Did you manage to resolve the problem? I'm gratefull for any hint.

  • Creating File System Repository for a remote system

    Hi Experts,
    My requirement is that I need to create a KM repository in EP from where I need to upload documents into the BW system. Is File System Repository the right type of repository which I need to create for this purpose?
    If yes, then in what format do I have to specify the value of the Root Directory property of the repository? I have a folder /data/docs created in the BW system within which I want to upload documents using this repository. But since this folder is located on the BW system which is a remote system for EP, I am not sure how I have to enter the path to this folder.
    Can anyone give me any hints on this?
    Warm Regards,
    Saurabh

    Hello Saurabh,
    I don't think an FS repository is what you are looking for in this scenario, you could instead use a BI Repository Manager, for more information see:

  • File System Repository - User Mapping not Working

    Hi,
    I tried to integrate a file system into KM. For doing so, I followed the guide located at [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ed/b334ea02a2704388d1d2fc3e4298ad/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ed/b334ea02a2704388d1d2fc3e4298ad/frameset.htm].
    The only problem is, tht the user mapping doesn't seem to work...
    The portal is running on a UNIX system, whereas the file share to be integrated is running on a Windows 2003 Server.
    Here are the single steps that I performed:
    -  Creation of a KM Windows System in the system landscape directory with the ID "MySystem". User Mapping is set to "User,Admin"
    -  Creation of a Windows System in the system landscpe of the KM with the ID "MySystem"
    - Creation of a Network Path in KM with following settings:
    jCIFS Protocol is activated; Network Path = "
    My Server\My Share"; User = "My Windows Domain\My User" and the according password. The specified user has administration permissions on the server.
    - Creation of a readonly File System Repository Manager with following settings:
    Root-Directory = "
    My Server\My Share", SecurityManager = W2kSecurityManager, ACL Manager Cache = ca_rsrc_acl, Windows Landscape System = "MySystem"
    - Configuration of the W2KSecurityManager: I specified the DomainFile-setting as "/etc/companydomaincontrollers.txt"
      and placed such a file in the KM with following setting: "My.Server.Domain=According IP Adress"
    - In UME I carried out user mapping for index_service user and placed the above mentioned admin user into the user mapping.
    Result: The indexing works fine, all fles are indexed. When I however try to carry out a user mapping for a "normal" portal user in the UME it doesn't work: The portal user has no access to the file system. (I used the same admin user for mapping... so it should work).
    Any help is appreciated...
    P.S. With portal super admin users I can however access the fle system repository, even without user mapping. But I think this is ok, because I read in one forum message that admin users have always access in general....

    Hi Frank,
    thanks for your reply.
    I have as well definied an Alias Name with exactly the same id. So this gives us following:
    System landscape directory: KM Windows System with id="MySystem" and Alias="MySystem"
    KM System Landscape: Windows System with id="MySystem"
    In the created file system repository manager I also set "MySystem" for the Windows Landscape System parameter.
    So I think that this should be correct (I also considered upper- and lowercase letters).
    Maybe the probem lies in specifying the domain names? When I applied user mapping I always additionally specified the Windows domain name of the users, which is correct I think.
    In the security manager configuration for the domain controllers (-> [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/a9/c54e9e09448d46b73d154e93d5e995/content.htm]) I however mapped the network domain of the file share server to the according IP adress. Maybe this is wrong?

  • Create  a file system repository

    Hi all,
    when I create a file system repository in the following solution:
    System Administration &#8594; System Configuration&#8594;Knowledge Management&#8594;Content Management&#8594;Repository Managers &#8594; File System Repository
    There I input the name and the URL which is available on the server.
    Then I go to Content Administration &#8594; KM Content to check the content of the repository I have created , I can find the folder in the first level directory, but why I can't find the text file I create under the second level .

  • The form base xlm can't creat in the File System Repository

    Hi all
    A document created by  the sap demo news can display in the folder base the cm Repository corrected,but can't in File System Repository.
    What is the reason?
    Edited by: joecui on Apr 9, 2010 7:11 AM

    Hi,
    You should not use the /etc repository for creating and storing xmlforms or any content!! This repository is used for configuration purposes and should not be visible to end users, otherwise there would be a very strong possibility that your CM config could be modified, deleted etc.
    If you want you should create your own FS repository pointing to a separate FS location to which your end users have access.

  • How to control permissions in KM using File System Repository Manager

    Hello everybody
    I have a scenario with 15+ file servers which content needs to be mapped into Portal KM as read-only.
    Windows Authentication is configured on the portal, so the users don't need to supply the portal with username/password.
    Now the users are of course only allowed to see the same content in the portal as they can see on the file servers. I know that the permission mapping can be done using a File System Repository Manager with W2KSecurityManager, but in that case the users will have to maintain the mapping of rights from windows to portal manually. And with ever-changing passwords this is too big an administrative task. So I am looking for another solution.
    My question is therefore:
    How can you configure the File System Repository Manager in a way where it the user does not need to maintain "user mapping" manually, but only need to logon to the portal (through windows authentication) and can see the same files from the portal as he/she can see from the file servers.
    Can this information in some way be taken from the configured Windows Authentication? Or is the only solution to enable WebDav on the file servers and and follow the "Integration of Windows File Servers into the SAP KM platform Using SSO and the WebDAV Repository Manager"-guide?
    Any help will be rewarded.
    Best regards,
    Martin Søgaard

    Hi again Dirk
    I just studied the "Integration of Windows File Servers into the SAP KM platform using SSO and the WebDAV repository manager"-guide in depth and I don't quite understand what rights the cmadmin_service and notificator_service are supposed to be given in the Active Directory. In the guide it says:
    "A number of global services and repository services need to perform operations on resources in various repositories. For example, the index management service must read all resources it is meant to index. When an index is created, the service user index_service is used. Therefore, this user has to have at least read access to all repositories that are to be indexed. Other users that are used by the SAP KM platform are the service users notificator_service and cmadmin_service. When a search is taking place, it is the user that is currently logged on to the portal."
    I dont quite understand what the two service users are doing but more importantly, I need to give the two service users the correct permissions in the Active Directory (or through user mapping). I understand that index_service only needs read_only permissions, but what permissions should the cmadmin_service and notificator_service be given?
    Best regards,
    Martin

  • Problem of Network File System repository

    Hi all:
    I want to set up a File system repository on a remote server.
    The steps are here:
    1.Define a Network Path.
    2.Set up a File system repository.
    Things done when the file system and the portal server are in the same zone of address,like  10.XXX.5.XX and 10.XXX.5.XXX,  but when reference to another file system, which IP is 10.XXX.10.XX, the repository can never start up!
    The message in Component Monitoring is "The localroot does not exist:
    10.XXX.10.XX"
    How can I solve this problem?

    Hi Rani,
    1.I think I have done all the steps setting up a File system repository. And when the server and File system are in the same segment of IP address, the repository works.
    Security Manager:AclSecurityManager
    ACL Manager Cache: not set
    Windows Landscape System: not set
    2.when use servername as the path, the message on monitoring is still on IP address.
    3.I can't see the folder
    4. I can open the path from the server on exploer.

    Hi
    A general recommendation would be to use small letters in all ID's regardring network drives, repositories etc. See https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/002fb447-d670-2910-67a5-bfbbf0bb287d for advice on how to optimize performance of KM.
    Other than that, you could check the documentation mentioned here:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/message?messageID=6398301#6398301
    It seems as the root directory in your File System Repository Manager is not defined correctly. It should be forward slash instead of backslash.
    Go through the settings again and see if the startup error changes or disappears. The startup error indecated that it is a configuration error.
