Access BSP content via webdav
Hello all,
I am trying to read all bsp page fragments from a bsp application using webdav but it is not working.
I am creating a new network connection on windows 2000:
http://<server name>:<port>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_ic_dt_rep/
CRM)IC_DT_REP is the bsp application name.
Does anyone know why it is not working?
Regards,
Mauricio
Hi,
This help (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/46/bb1853ab4811d4968100a0c94260a5/frameset.htm) is saying:
To find out the namespace (in the above example: sap/bc/) and the name of the WebDAV services (in the above example: bsp_dev), call up the transaction SICF. All services are listed as ICF objects in Maintenance of Services.

Error when accessing video content via Home Sharing on iPad
Updated iTunes (Oct. 22) with the iCloud Control Panel for Windows 7. I enabled iCloud for Windows 7 via the Control Panel. Home Sharing is enabled in itunes. I can play music on my iPad2 using the Library on my Windows machine. But it I try to play any videos (movies/tv) the following error is displayed:
"You do not have permission to access the requested resource"
The Home Sharing is working on my Apple TV device. Any suggetions or help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
TroyI had exactly the same problem on my iPhone. Switching it off and back on again has solved the problem. My iTunes library is on a Mac but I don't think that should make any difference. Intermittently, I have also had difficulty accessing my iTunes library from my iPad2 although not with any error message. Turning home sharing off and back on again in iTunes solved that one

Open KM folder via WebDav - Invalid Item ID
Hi!
In our KM SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 we have some folders where a ! is in the name. There was no problem accessing these folders via WebDav since we installed SP 18. If I will access this folder now via WebDav, paste WebDav Url from flder into IE7 and open the link 'Navigation user interface' afterwards I will get an message like this: Invalid Item ID - the item you are attempting to access does not exists. Check wether the name of the associated repository is correct. In the Portal Log i found the following information: Syntax error in URI placeholder: <path to folder>
Any idea?
Thanks, DanielHi Nitsan,
It depends from where you want to open the webdav folder.
1. From explorer:
Go to My network places, and add a new one with the URL you used before. Now it should open directly as a webdav folder. You can also map this to a network drive.
2 From a website:
Insert a link in the website using the following format:
<a style="behavior: url(#default#AnchorClick)" title="Webmap" href="" folder="http://<hostname>:<port>/irj/go/km/docs/<km path>">Webfolder</a>
This should open directly from the website as a webdav folder.

Publish files via WebDav stored in BLOB
Hi,
is it possible to publish files (PDF, DOC ...) stored in a table with column datatype BLOB via XMLDB/WebDav?
If yes, does exists somewhere an how to do?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
MartinCurrently XML DB can only publish non-xml content via WebDAV etc if it's stored in the XML DB repository. We looking at this for a future release. For the moment you'd have to move the documents from the column into the repository. If you can you might want to consider simply storing the path or resid in the application table and the content in the repository. Depending on the application you might be able to create a new table that contains a path or RESID inplace of the BLOB column and then create a new view to replace current table with a view that includes a BLOB column based on xdburitype(),

- Sharing EFS encrypted files over a personal lan wlan wifi ap network

- transfer encryption keys / certificates
- set trusted delegation for user + computer for EFS encrypted files via
Kerberos
- Windows Active Directory vs network file share
- Setting up WinDAV server on Windows 7 Pro / Ultimate
It has been a long painful road to discover this information.
I hope sharing it helps you.
Using EFS on Windows 7 pro / ultimate is easy and works great. See
here and
here
So too is opening + editing encrypted files over a peer-to-peer Windows 7 network.
HOWEVER, creating a new file / new folder over a peer-to-peer Windows 7 network
won't work (unless you follow below steps).
Typically, it is only discovered as an issue when a home user wants to use synchronisation software between their home computers which happens to have a few folders encrypted using windows EFS. I had this issue trying to use GoodSync.
Typically an "Access Denied" error messages is thrown when a \\clientpc tries to create new folder / new file in an encrypted folder on a remote file share \\fileserver.
Why such a EFS drama when a network is involved?
Assume a home peer-to-peer network with 2pc: \\fileserver and \\clientpc
When a \\clientpc tries to create a new file or new folder on a \\fileserver (remote computer) it fails. In a terribly simplified explanation it is because the process on \\fileserver that is answering the network requests is a process working for a user on
another machine (\\clientpc) and that \\fileserver process doesn't have access to an encryption certificate (as it isn't a user). Active Directory gets around this by using kerberos so the process can impersonate a \\fileserver user and then use their certificate
(on behalf of the clienpc's data request).
This behaviour is confusing, as a \\clientpc can open or edit an existing efs encrypted file or folder, just can't create a new file or folder. The reason editing + opening an encrypted file over a network file share is possible is because the encrypted
file / folder already has an encryption certificate, so it is clear which certificate is required to open/edit the file. Creating a new file/folder requires a certificate to be assigned and a process doesn't have a profile or certificates assigned.
Solutions
There are two main approaches to solve this:
1) SOLVE by setting up an Active Directory (efs files accessed through file shares)
EFS operations occur on the computer storing the files.
EFS files are decrypted then transmitted in plaintext to the client's computer
This makes use of kerberos to impersonate a local user (and use their certificate for encrypt + decrypt)
2) SOLVE by setting up WebDAV (efs files accessed through web folders)
EFS operations occur on the client's local computer
EFS files remain encrypted during transmission to the client's local computer where it is decrypted
This avoids active directory domains, roaming or remote user profiles and having to be trusted for delegation.
BUT it is a pain to set up, and most online WebDAV server setup sources are not for home peer-to-peer networks or contain details on how to setup WebDAV for EFS file provision
READ BELOW as this does
Create new encrypted file / folder on a network file share - via Active Directory
It is easily possible to sort this out on a domain based (corporate) active directory network. It is well documented. See
here. However, the problem is on a normal Windows 7 install (ie home peer-to-peer) to set up the server as part of an active directory domain is complicated, it is time consuming it is bulky, adds burden to operation of \\fileserver computer
and adds network complexity, and is generally a pain for a home user. Don't. Use a WebDAV.
Although this info is NOT for setting up EFS on an active directory domain [server],
for those interested here is the gist:
Use the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in to configure delegation options for both users and computers. To trust a computer for delegation, open the computer’s Properties sheet and select Trusted for delegation. To allow a user
account to be delegated, open the user’s Properties sheet. On the Account tab, under Account Options, clear the The account is sensitive and cannot be delegated check box. Do not select The account is trusted for delegation. This property is not used with
EFS.
NB: decrypted data is transmitted over the network in plaintext so reduce risk by enabling IP Security to use Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)—which will encrypt transmitted data,
Create new encrypted file / folder on a network file share - via WebDAV
For home users it is possible to make it all work.
Even better, the functionality is built into windows (pro + ultimate) so you don't need any external software and it doesn't cost anything. However, there are a few hotfixes you have to apply to make it work (see below).
Setting up a wifi AP (for those less technical):
a) START ... CMD
b) type (no quotes): "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyPersonalWifi key=12345 keyUsage=persistent"
c) type (no quotes): "netsh wlan start hostednetwork"

a) on the "Anonymous Authentication" and click "Disable"
b) on the "Windows Authentication" and click "Enable"
NB: Some Win 7 will not connect to a webDAV user using Basic Authentication.
It can be by changing registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WebClient\Parameters]
BasicAuthLevel=2
c) on the "Windows Authentication" click "Advanced Settings"
set Extended Protection to "Required"
NB: Extended protection enhances the windows authentication with 2 security mechanisms to reduce "man in the middle" attacks

b) set this to "all users". This will control who can view the "Default Site" through a web browser
NB: It is possible to specify a group (eg Administrators is popular) or a user account. However, if not set to "all users" this will require the specified group/user account to be used for logged in with on the
clientpc.
NB: Any user account specified here has to exist on the server. It has a bug in that it usernames specified here are not validated on input.

7 in IIS, on the left under "connections" click your computer, then click "Request Filtering", then click "Open Feature"
a) on the right side, under Actions, click "Edit Feature Settings"
b) tick the box "Allow double escaping"
*THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT* if your filenames or foldernames contain characters like "+" or "&"
These folders will appears blank with no subdirectories, or these files will not be readable unless this is ticked
This is safe btw. Unchecked (default) it filters out requests that might possibly be misinterpreted by buggy code (eg double decode or build url's via string-concat without proper encoding). But any bug would need to be in IIS basic
file serving and this has been rigorously tested by microsoft, so very unlikely. Its safe to "Allow double escaping".
8 in IIS, on the left under "connections" right click "Default Web Site", then click "Add Virtual Directory"
a) set the Alias to something sensible eg "D_Drive", set the physical path
b) it is essential you click "connect as" and set
this to a local user (on fileserver),
if left as "pass through authentication" a client won't be able to create a new file or folder in an encrypted efs folder (on fileserver)
NB: the user account selected here must have the required EFS certificates installed.
See
here and
here
NB: Sharing the root of a drive as an active directory (eg D:\ as "D_Drive") often can't be opened on clientpcs.
This is due to windows setting all drive roots as hidden "administrative shares". Grrr.
The work around is on the \\fileserver create an NTFS symbollic link
e.g. to share the entire contents of "D:\",
on fileserver browse to site path (iis default this to c:\inetpub\wwwroot)
in cmd in this folder create an NTFS symbolic link to "D:\"
so in cmd type "cd c:\inetpub\wwwroot"
then in cmd type "mklink /D D_Drive D:\"
NB: WebDAV will open this using a \\fileserver local user account, so double check local NTFS permissions for the local account (clients will login using)
NB: If clientpc can see files but gets error on opening them, on clientpc click START, type "Manage Network Passwords", delete any "windows credentials" for the fileserver being used, restart
clientpc
9 in IIS, on the left under "connections" click on "WebDAV Authoring Rules", then click "Open Feature"
a) click "Add authoring rules". Control access to this folder by selecting "all users" or "specified groups" or "specified users", then control whether they can read/write/source
b) if some exist review existing allow or deny.
Take care to not only review the "allow access to" settings
but also review "permissions" (read/write/source)
NB: this can be set here for all added virtual directories, or can be set under each virtual directory
10 Open your firewall software and/or your router. Make an exception for port 80 and 443
a) In Windows Firewall with Advanced Security click Inbound Rules, click New Rule
choose Port, enter "80, 443" (no speech marks), follow through to completion. Repeat for outbound.
NB: take care over your choice to untick "Public", this can cause issues if no gateway is specified on the network (ie computer-to-computer with no router). See "Other problems+fixes"

b) Repeat firewall exceptions on each client computer you expect to access the webDAV web folders on
HOTFIX - MAJOR ISSUE - fix KB959439
11 To fully understand this read "WebDAV HOTFIX: RAW DATA TRANSFERS" below
a) On Windows 7 you need only change one tiny registry value:
- click START, type "regedit", open link
-browse to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MRxDAV\Parameters]
-on the EDIT menu click NEW, then click DWORD Value
-Type "DisableEFSOnWebDav" to name it (no speech marks)
-on the EDIT menu, click MODIFY, type 1, then click OK
-You MUST now restart this computer for the registry change to take effect.
b) On Windows Server 2008 / Vista / XP you'll FIRST need to
download Windows6.0-KB959439 here. Then do the above step.
NB microsoft will ask for your email. They don't care about licence key legality, it is more to keep you updated if they modify that hotfix
12 To test on local machine (eg \\fileserver) and deliberately bypass the firewall.
a) make sure WebClient Service is running
(click START, type "services" and open, scroll down to WebClient and check its status)
b) Open your internet software. Go to address "http://localhost:80" or "http://localhost:80"
It should show the default "IIS7" image.
If not, as firewall and port blocking are bypassed (using localhost) it must be a webDAV server setting. Check "Authorization Rules" are set to "Allow All Users"
c) for one of the "virtual directories" you added (8), add its "alias" onto "http://localhost/"
e.g. http://localhost/D_drive
If nothing is listed, check "Directory Browsing" is enabled
13 To test on local machine or a networked client and deliberately try and access through the firewall or port opening of your router.
a) make sure WebClient Service is running
(click START, type "services" and open, scroll down to WebClient and check its status)
b) open your internet software. Go to address "http://<computer>:80" or "http://<computer>:80".
eg if your server's computer name is "fileserver" go to "http://fileserver:80"
It should show the default "IIS7" image. If not, check firewall and port blocking.
Any issue ie if (12) works but (13) doesn't, will indicate a possible firewall issue or router port blocking issue.
c) for one of the "virtual directories" you added (8), add its "alias" onto "http://<computername>:80/"
eg if alias is "C_driver" and your server's computer name is "fileserver" go to "http://fileserver:80/C_drive"
A directory listing of files should appear.

HOTFIX - improve upload + download speeds
14 Click START and type "Internet Options" and open the link
a) click the "Connections" tab at the top
b) click the "LAN Settings" button at the bottom right
c) untick "Automatically detect settings"
HOTFIX - remove 50mb file limit
15 On Windows 7 you need only change one tiny registry value:
a) click START, type "regedit", open link
b) browse to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WebClient\Parameters]
c) click on "FileSizeLimitInBytes"
d) on the EDIT menu, click MODIFY, type "ffffffff", then click OK (no quotes)
HOTFIX - remove prompt for user+pass on opening an office or pdf document via WebDAV
16 On each clientpc click START, type "Internet Options" and open it
a) click on "Security" (top) and then "Custom level" (bottom)
b) scroll right to the bottom and under "User Authentication" select "Automatic logon with current username and password"
SUCH an easy fix. SUCH an annoying problem on a clientpc
NB: this is only an issue if the file is opened through windows explorer. If opened through the "open" dialogue of the software itself, it doesn't happen. This is as a WebDAV mapped drive is consdered a "web folder" by windows
explorer.
TEST SETUP
17 On the client use the normal "map network drive"
e.g. server= "http://fileserver:80/C_drive", tick reconnect at logon
e.g. CMD: net use * "http://fileserver:80/C_drive"
If it doens't work check "WebDAV Authoring Rules" and check NTFS permissions for these folders. Check that on the filserver the elected impersonation user that the client is logging in with (clientpc
"manage network passwords") has NTFS permissions.
18 Test that EFS is now working over the network
a) On a clientpc, map network drive to http://fileserver/
b) navigate to a folder you know on the \\flieserver is encrypted with EFS
c) create a new folder, create a new file.
IF it throws an error, check carefully you mapped to the WebDAV and not file share
i.e. mapped to "http://fileserver" not "\\fileserver"
Check that on clientpc the required efs certificate is installed. Then check carefully on clientpc what user account you specified during the map drive process. Then check on the \\fileserver this
account exists and has the required EFS certificate installed for use. If necessary, on clientpc click START, type "Manage Network Passwords" and delete the windows credentials currently in the vault.
d) on clientpc (through a webDAV mapped folder) open an encrypted file, edit it, save it, close it. On the \\fileserver now check that file is readable and not gobble-de-goup
e) on clientpc copy an encrypted efs file into a folder (a webDAV mapped folder) you know is not encrypted on \\fileserver. Now check on the \\fileserver computer that the file is readable and not gobble-de-goup (ie the
clientpc decrypted it then copied it).
If this fails, it is likely one in IIS setting on fileserver one of the shared virtual directories is set to: "pass through authentication" when it should be set to "connect as"
If this is not readable check step (11) and that you restarted the \\fileserver computer.
19 Test that clients don't get the VERY annoying prompt when opening an Office or PDF doc
a) on clientpc in windows explorer browse to a mapped folder you know is encrypted and open an office file and then PDF.
If a prompt for user+pass then check hotfix (16)
20 Consider setting up a recycling bin for this mapped drive, so files are sent to recycling bin not permanently deleted
a) see the last comment at the very bottom of
this page:
Points to consider:
- NB: WebDAV runs on \\fileserver under a local user account, so double check local NTFS permissions for that local account and adjust file permissions accordingly. If the local account doesn't have permission, the webDAV / web folder share won't
either.
- CONSIDER: IP Security (IPSec) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to protect files during transport.
MORE INFO: HOTFIX: RAW DATA TRANSFERS
More info on step (11) above.
Because files remain encrypted during the file transfer and are decrypted by EFS locally, both uploads to and downloads from Web folders are raw data transfers. This is an advantage as if data is intercepted it is useless. This is a massive disadvantage as
it can cause unexpected results. IT MUST BE FIXED or you could be in deep deep water!
Consider using \\clientpc to access a webfolder on \\fileserver and copying an encrypted EFS file (over the network) to a web folder on \\fileserver that is not encrypted.
Doing this locally would automatically decrypt the file first then copy the decrypted file to the non-encrypted folder.
Doing this over the network to a web folder will copy the raw data, ie skip the decryption stage and result in the encrypted EFS file being raw copied to the non-encrypted folder. When viewed locally this file will not be recognised as encrypted (no encryption
file flag, not green in windows explorer) but it will be un-readable as its contents are still encrypted. It is now not possible to locally read this file. It can only be viewed on the \\clientpc
There is a fix:
It is implimented above, see (11) above
Microsoft's support page on this is excellent and short. Read "problem description" of "this microsoft webpage"
Other problems + fixes
PROBLEM: Can't find server due to network location.
This one took me a long time to track down to "network location".
Win 7 uses network locations "Home" / "Work" / "Public".
If no gateway is specified in the IP address, the network is set to '"unidentified" and so receives "Public" settings.
This is a disaster for remote file share access as typically "network discovery" and "file sharing" are disabled under "Public"
FIX = either set IP address manually and specify a gateway
FIX = or force "unidentified" network locations to assume "home" or "work" settings -
read here or
here
FIX = or change the "Public" "advanced network settings" to turn on "network discovery" and "file sharing" and "Password Protected Sharing". This is safe as it will require a windows
login to gain file access.
PROBLEM: Deleting files on network drive permanently deletes them, there is no recycling bin
By changing the location of "My Contacts" or similar to the root directory of your mapped drive, it will be added to recycling bin locations
Read
here (i've posted a batch script to automatically make the required reg files)
I really hope this helps people. I hope the keywords + long title give it the best chance of being picked up in web searches.What probably happens is that processes are using those mounts. And that those processes are not killed before the mounts are unmounted. Is there anything that uses those mounts?

How to get the 'mime-type' of a Resource accessed via WebDAV
Hello,
When a document is uploaded into a folder which is managed by a WebDAV RepositoryManager we don't see a Property 'mime-type' or something like that.
Our code:
<i>IPropertyMap lijstProp = tempResource.getProperties();</i>
In the list there is no Property 'contenttype' or something like that!
This is a bit of a surprise to me since it seems to me a very relevant Property of a Resource.
How can the mime-type/contenttype of a Resource managed by a WebDAV Repository Manager be determined?
Kind regards,
Maarten RuttenHi Thilo,
We access the Resources via API.
When I use "IPropertyMap lijstProp = tempResource.getProperties();" I assume that ALL the available properties are in 'lijstProp'.
(is this correct?)
I don't have the Property "contenttype" available in 'lijstProp'.
A workaround could be that when adding documents to a folder via API's, we also should set this Property via API's.
But when documents are added directly into the WebDAV folder we don't have that option. So, when we find a Resource with the Property 'contenttype' missing the only option I see is to 'calculate' the contenttyype based on the extension of the Resource.
Do you agree?
Kind regards,
Maarten -
Accessing NetStorage via WebDAV from Windows 7
Until last week we were running Netware 6.5 SP8. I was aware that accessing NetStorage via WebDAV (using Microsoft Web Folders) does not work on Windows 7. Now I migrated the server to OES 11 SP2 and I decided to re-investigate the issue. Currently, I still can't access NetStorage from WebDAV on Windows 7. When I try to add new network location in Windows, enter the correct URL and I'm prompted for username and password. After entering the correct password, the username/password window re-appears. On entering the username and password second time, I get error message "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another."
Is the situation still such that accessing NetStorage via Microsoft Web Folders on Windows 7 does not work, or do I have something misconfigured?

From web browser, there are no problems accessing NetStorage.
My limited understanding is that MS seriously mangled/changed WebDav in Windows 7 and if you google for webdav webfolders and windows 7 you'll find all sorts of differing things that may be needed for things to work.
I do know that you can download the free NetDrive client software somewhere and that should work on Win7 against NetStorage.
I vaguely recall there was something special you had to do with Web Folders on Windows 7 if you wanted to use WEBDAV against FILR, so perhaps those same steps are necessary against NetStorage.
Also, are you accessing NetStorage directly, or going through a reverse proxy such as NAM? -
Cannot access the content producer portal via reverse proxy
Hi all,
I hope my post is in the right forum
We have an FPN environment using RRA with our EP (NW 7.0 SPS18) as the consumer and our BI portal (NW 7.0 SPS18) as the content producer. The consumer is registered with the producer using HTTP protocol. Everything works as expected.
We're trying to implement an Apache reverse proxy for our FPN with SSL termination so that we can access the portals from the Internet with HTTPS protocol while keeping HTTP protocol for the internal users.
Through the reverse proxy, we can access the consumer portal and we can access the producer portal directly without any problem. The only problem is that, if we logged onto the consumer via the reverse proxy, we cannot access the content from the producer. We'd get the browser security warning message
"Although this page is encrypted. The information you have entered will be sent over an unencrypted connection. ..."
When we hit the Continue button, we'd get the eror 404 Not Found - The request resource does not exist.
Our Unix admin tried both Apache and SAP Web Dispatcher but we couldn't get it to work properly. We went through a lot of blogs and documents and we are at our wits end. We would greatly appreciate if someone can point out where we should look at.
Thank you very much in advance.
DaoHi Kevin,
Unfortunately, our Unix admin thinks you missed the point because my question was not clear enough
We do not have problems with the "correct name" in the reverse proxy and our main SSL termination works fine.
It's just that the consumer is registered with the producer using HTTP protocol; as a result, the producer's URL link is 'hard-coded' to use HTTP protocol in the consumer portal since we are not using SSL in the internal network. Hence, we'd like to know if there's any way to change them to HTTPS for the Internet clients while keeping the HTTP protocol for the internal users.
I hope I made it clearer this time
Regards,

Problem in connecting to beehiveonline via WebDAV
Hi,
I am seeing a strange behavior when connecting to beehiveonline via WebDAV. Need your help to sort out the same.
If I try to connect to https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/content/dav using internet explorer, the browser automatically redirects me to the SSO login page. After I login, it moves back to the workspace listing page successfully.
But if I try to connect to the same URL via "Add Network Location" or "Map Network Drive" the system is failing to connect. I am using the same SSO credentials. I am using Windows 7 laptop (not sure if that matters).
I have been using this (beehiveonline via WebDAV) for a some time now; this was working perfectly alright before last ~10 days. For the last ~10 days, this does not seem to work.
Can you please review and help.
Thanks, RajaRaja,
I have some troubleshooting tips for webdav - see if any of these work and if not we can have a call and talk through the options.
Troubleshooting Tips
@ 1. While connecting to Webdav using web folders, the login prompt keeps appearing.
Try connecting to the webdav server using https url: @ http://beehive.oracle.com/content/dav
If above doesn't help, try below steps:
Stop "Webclient" service (Go to Start-> Control Panel-> Administrative Tools -> Services. Select "Web Client" and stop the service)
Set 'Startup Type' of Webclient service to 'Manual' Set up web folder using url: http://beehive.oracle.com/content/dav
(without specifying port)
2. My web folder was working properly. Now suddenly dav operations don't go thru and can not access stbeehive. I deleted the mapped network place and re-mapped, it still does not work.
This happens when the webdav server is bounced and your dav cookie on the client is not expired. Delete all cookies in Internet Explorer browser (Tools-> Internet Options - > Delete -> Delete cookies) and try reconnecting.
3. Through web folders, I created a new folder, but the folder did not appear and when I try to create it again, it says it already exists.
Stop "Webclient" service (Go to Start-> Control Panel-> Administrative Tools -> Services. Select "Web Client" and stop the service). Set up web folder using url: http://beehive.oracle.com/content/dav (without specifying port).
4. After copying a file from one folder to another within Web folder, it shows the file size as 0 bytes.
This is a known issue with the web folders client. After the copy/move operation, it does not issue a PROPFIND to get the details of the newly copied/moved file. Refresh your folder (press F5) and the correct sizes should be displayed.
5. In web folders, I double-click a jpeg file. The MS Picture Viewer application opens but it does not display the jpeg file.
The MS Picture Viewer application is not webdav enabled. Try opening the file in Internet Explorer instead.
6. I did some dav operations through the browser. After leaving idle for about an hour, it asked me for username/password again.
This is due to the dav session timeout.
7. I did some dav operations through Internet Explorer (IE). Then, I did some operations through web folders. After leaving idle for about an hour, I tried to access through IE. It did NOT ask me for username/password.
Sessions involving non-browser dav client like web folders are intended to be longer (default timeout value is 16 hours). Since you last did an operation using web folders, your dav session has been extended.
8. I have uploaded a document with a non-English name. When the document is listed, the file name is garbled.
or I have uploaded a document with non-English contents. When I open them, they are garbled.
Your dav client is not sending the encoding information correctly. Please try setting your "Content" user preferences ("document_uri_encoding", "document_character_encoding") to the encoding used by your dav client.
9. I am not logged into Web Folders. Now, I login through IE and click on a MS Office document (word/excel etc). I am prompted for my credentials again.
This can be resolved by opening the MS word document inline in Internet Explorer. Steps required to configure are available at:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/162059.
10. I have opened a MS Office document inline in the browser. I click "Back" or close the web browser window. I am prompted to enter credentials again.
This can be resolved by following the steps given at: @ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822128
Known Issues
Generic Issues:
@ There is no support for non-ascii username/password. Windows Vista Web folder is not supported.
Navigation through browser into URLs containing characters [ or ] may result in 404 error.
Windows Web Folders:
It throws a common error dialog box for all the error scenarios. It does not pick the message sent by the webdav server
If you create/update/delete a document and it has to go through a workflow process, Web Folders doesnt interpret the response status code correctly and throws an error.
Cadaver:
Copying/moving fails for files/folders which have spaces in their names Use cadaver ver 0.22.5 or later. Earlier versions have encoding issues.
Mac OS:
Lot of files whose name starts with the dot character like ".DS_Store" are created implicitly by Mac Finder
I uploaded a document to my personal workspace Documents folder. Then Get Info on that document in the webdav folder. There is a checkbox for "Lock". If you click the checkbox, it immediately gets de-selected. This is because this client does not send a webdav lock request.
Maybe one of these will do the trick

After changing the context path, felix console, I can not checkout content via vlt.
Hi everyone,
I have the following issue. After changing the context path, via felix console, I can not checkout the content via vlt. Before that, I could checkout without any problems.
I am using CQ5.5, CRX2.3, context path: /Test
That is what I am trying:
vlt -v --credentials admin:admin co http://localhost:23310/Test/server/crx.default
Connecting via JCR remoting to http://localhost:23310/Test/server
[WARN ] Authentication required to access repository descriptors
[ERROR] checkout: com.day.jcr.vault.vlt.VltException: Unable to mount filesystem
caused by: javax.jcr.ItemNotFoundException: Not Found
caused by: org.apache.jackrabbit.webdav.DavException: Not Found
Other versions I tried:
vlt -v --credentials admin:admin co http://localhost:23310/crx
vlt --credentials admin:admin co http://localhost:23310/Test/server
vlt --credentials admin:admin co http://localhost:23310/Test
vlt --credentials admin:admin co http://localhost:23310/Test/crx
To verify if I could connect to the instance properly I started CRXDE
and try to connect to "http://localhost:23310/Test"
After click the ok button I got that error:

Authentication to XML DB via WebDAV and SSO
Hi,
Is there any way to be authentified by XML DB via WebDAV and SSO ?
If the access to our infrastructure of database servers is controled by SSO, once I'm authentified by OID (SSO), is it possible to pass that authentification to XML DB through standard port 8080 ?
Thank you for your helpThis is planned for a future (not 10g) release

To get Document content via RFC
Hi forum,
I have a small bsp-application to show documents for a material-number stored in the SAP-tresor (via ftp).
The SAP-tresor is installed in the core-system, the WEB-AS is another server.
I developed a remote-enabled function module called get_doc_content_rfc. This function module reads some customizing to get all values for calling the function module CV120_DOC_CHECKOUT_TO_TABLE.
Now, when I call my get_doc_content_rfc in the core-system, I get the document content via the function module CV120_DOC_CHECKOUT_TO_TABLE. When I call my function module get_doc_content_rfc form the developer-system via RFC in the core-system, the function module CV120_DOC_CHECKOUT_TO_TABLE dosn't deliver the document content.
In the debugger, I can see, the function module CV120_DOC_CHECKOUT_TO_TABLE opens a ftp-connection to the server with the tresor and then reads the document content. Do I use my function module get_doc_content_rfc in the core-sysem, the ftp-connect can be established. Do I use my function module get_doc_content_rfc via RFC to the core-system, the ftp-connection opend by the function module CV120_DOC_CHECKOUT_TO_TABLE gets a time out.
Now, my question. what can I do, to get the document content via RFC from the core-system.
Thank you for help
MeinolfHi,
Did you check RFC Adresses in SM59 both of two systems.
May be different.

Accessing Documentum Content thru KM in portal
Hi,
I am trying to connect to Documentum content thru KM in portal. I am looking for a better approach to do the same.
http://www.emc.com/products/detail/software/content-services-sap-portal-iviews.htm.
http://www.emc.com/products/detail/software/file-share-services.htm
As per the above two links i understand that documentum content can be accessed by Portal iViews. But not sure from where i can find those iViews? and also not sure whether it can be accessed with Windows file share service?
Could anybody suggest me which approcah is better ? Either thru portal iViews or thru KM repositories?
1. Could anybody guide me what SAP Portal iViews can be used to access Documentum Content?
2. With either the File system repository manager or WEBDAV Repository manager can we access the the documents directly from the Document file share of Documentum?
for example.. The Documents are in this path
Document file share\Repositories\.
Please guide me on this...
Point will be rewarded for the rightful answers.
Regards
Sireesha.Hi,
I agree that it is worth to try a file system repository on this Documentum File Share.
However I have some concerns about the performance of this kind of integration.
I would expect that the Documentum File Share is allready a software tier wrapping the
core documentum api.
In addition a file system repository has some disadvantages if you are planning to change the repository content both in KM and in the origin (documentum) system.
If you do that, the KM file system repository has to synchronize itself again and again.
The repository (and sometimes the whole portal) may slow down dramatically.
So give it a try but consider to either buy the documentum repository manager or write your own.
See the following link to a nice code sample:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/fcc4b3c7-0701-0010-55ab-86e3ec0ce275

Access XML Content from Alert Category (ALRTCATDEF) ?
Hi PI Expert,
is that possible to access xml content from Alert Category (ALRTCATDEF) if the error occurs from Adapter engine.
For example IDOC number / PO Number, so i can put in into Subject email notification.
At the moment i am only know how to send dynamic data from ccBPM.
Please advise.
Thank You and Best Regards
Fernand.Hai,
Yes the user existed in QA before I transported the category. (Since users are not transported, I simply created a user with the same name.) Also, I used the role SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR for the receivers via subscription and roles.
