Adding Roomparts to Collaborations Rooms - without folders?

Hi All!
I have a question regarding RoomParts in collaborations rooms.
When i try to add a RoomPart to my existing collboration coom
they always gets added as a folders with a link to the part.
But this i not very "handy" because all the other parts of the room are just normal links in the detailed navigation area, and then the added Roompart looks confusing when it is added as a folder.
So is it possible to add a Roompart which will show up as a Link instead of a folder?
Help is much apreciated.
Best regards.
Ronni Hostrup

Hi Ronni,
If you Try to add SAP room parts in your existing room,they would be added as a folder into a room,because this is the way SAP have delievered.
If you want to add Room part as a link,you can develop your custom room template using custom Workset and then create collaboration room using that Template.
Hope This Helps

Accessing a Collaboration room without the Portal masthead

Hi,
I have the URL to the Collaboration room I created.
I want to provide the link to the room to the user and it should open in the same window.When Iam trying to open it in the samw window in the content area, I am again getting the coll. room opened with the Portal masthead(welcome area,navigation etc.,).Is there a way to create a link to the room without the portal header?
I assure to reward points to all those who help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Vasu.

Hi Rabih,
Finally, I solved it on my own.
Here is the soln.,
First create a copy of the Default framework page and edit it. Untick the visible checkbox for Portal masthead, toplevel navigation and detailed navigation.Save it.
Create a URL for accessing this link like irj/servlet/pcd...
Now coming to the coll. room URL, create a URL iview with the above URL and pass the Collaboration connector as parameter to the URL iview.
It worked for me.
If u need further clarification,mail me at [email protected]
If the above answer is helpful, consider rewarding points.
Thanks,

Collaboration Rooms problem/info - plz urgent

I want some info as for below:
I am using EP 6.0 with SP2
1. Where exactly the user's information will be stored in EP server?
2. I understand the purpose of SAP R/3 System in UM Configuration, but what is the purpose of LDAP Server?
3. Is LDAP Server configuation is required to work on Collaboration Rooms?
4. Is it possible to work with Collaboration Rooms without LDAP Server/configuration?
Please do reply anybody with positive answers

thanks in advance
Kantha
cheers
Kantha

Hi Kantha,
> Where exactly the user's information
> will be stored in EP server?
I don't know exactly what you mean. If no specific user backend store is defined, the users created are stored within the database for the portal server.
> I understand the purpose of SAP R/3 System in UM
> Configuration, but what is the purpose of LDAP Server?
There is no need to have a SAP R/3 in the background for UM, you could also just have a LDAP server where the users of the company are stored in. This LDAP you can use for UserManagement.
> Is LDAP Server configuation is required
> to work on Collaboration Rooms?
A simple No.
> Is it possible to work with Collaboration Rooms
> without LDAP Server/configuration?
From the last answer a simple Yes follows.
CollabRooms do not need any specific User Backend Store; the UserManagement works as in the rest of the portal on the UME, which again is bound to an LDAP - or not.
Hope it helps

"Stand-alone" uasage of Collaboration Rooms

Hello Everybody,
customer requirements make it neccessary to use the collaboration rooms for storing documents, which can be accessed by the collaboration room members. Further collaboration functionality is not needed.
Because the collaboration rooms are called via url from an external application I was wondering if it is possible to accesses the collaboration rooms without the portal framework. What we only need is the room with its navigation and the collaboration adminitration iViews.
Does somebody know if it is possible to call a room without the portal framework? I know that a room can be accessed directly via url, but I do not want the portal framework (header, navigation, etc.).
Cheers,
Stepah

Hi Stepah,

CM Patch 5 and adding Room Parts to old Collaboration Rooms

Hi,
We have just upgraded our portal to EP6 SP2 Patch5 for the portal and EP6 SP2 Patch5 Hotfix4 for the KMC.
When trying to add a standard Room Part to a Collaboration Room that was created in KMC Patch4 an error occurs.
The error message written to the console error log is rather long but the most interesting part is:
--- Nested WDF Exception -
java.lang.NullPointerException
     at com.sap.ip.collaboration.room.impl.RoomObject.getAllInternalParameters(RoomObject.java:799)
     at com.sap.ip.collaboration.room.impl.RoomObject.createRoomPartInstance(RoomObject.java:2371)
     at com.sap.ip.collaboration.roomui.api.maintenance.model.MaintenanceInfo.createRoomPartInstance(MaintenanceInfo.java:1384)
Is anyone else having a similar experience?
Has anyone successfully added a Room Part to a Collaboration Room created using Patch4?
Brgds,
Pierre

Hi Pierre,
i'm afraid there is no possibility to add room parts to a collaboration room created using Patch4. The reason must be lying in the use of the old CM stores and not the extensions stores. Some old functionalities like "publishing to public folder" are also not available anymore for new rooms with Patch5 because of the use of extensions.

Robert

Error when adding SAP Room Calendar to Collaboration Room

Hello folks,
I tried to enhance my collaboration room by adding the Calendar room part to my collaboration room. However, I got the following error when I tried to display it after adding it to the room. Does anyone know where the problem lies or how I can access the log file to view the exception ID as it is mentioned in the error message?

Hi Katharina,
I would take a look under the node Server -> Log viewer... And then Cluster -> Server -> g:\usr\sap -> <instance name> -> j2ee\cluster\server0 -> log defaultTrace.trc
(or something similar to that....)

A user can only see the public area in a collaboration room

Hi all,
We have experienced that a certain user can only see the public area of
a collaboration room although the user has member rights to see more
content.
We have tried to remove the user from the room and add him again. It
did not help.
Other users have been added before and after this user without problems.
What could be wrong with this user?
Regards,
Ashwin

Hi Ashwin,
Check the roles and the groups by this user.. Is the same of the others users?

    I have created collaboration room and added room admin and members to the
    room.

How to get the list of collaboration rooms for a particular user??

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement to get the list of all the collaboration rooms for a given user. I have started developing the Web Dynpro application by reusing necessary jars required to the web dynpro application.
on some action I am trying to execute the below code:
IRooms roomsAPI = (IRooms) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IRooms.PORTAL_SERVICE_ID);
which I have got from help.sap.com
But, there's some exception being raised and not able to retrieve the list of rooms.
Could somebody tell me what am I doing wrong.
Regards,
Raghu.

Hi,
the below is the code that I have used to get the list of rooms. But I'm getting into the NullPointerException .
I have added the catch block for time being, but could you please let me know the reason for NullPointerException?
public void onActiongetRooms(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActiongetRooms(ServerEvent)

Collaboration Room iViews give error -- Database related errors -- Pls Help

Hello Everyone,
We are on EP 6.0 SP 17 (Netweaver 2004).
KMC component was installed separately (Deployed manually).
We are trying to create simple Collaboration Rooms and we are facing some issues with the same.
I am following the documentation on SAP Help for the Room Creation:
Help  SAP Netweaver 2004  People Integration  Collaboration  Administration Guide
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1d/3d59fdaa5ebb45967ea107d3fa117a/frameset.htm
We are able to create rooms based on pre-defined templates and we are also able to add members to rooms, send/receive the invitation emails. I am able to work with Instant Messaging also.
But the problem is that some of the iViews related to Collaboration Rooms are giving errors.
1. Discussion iView gives an error saying You do not have access permission (even the user has all the necessary roles assigned).
Log for this error is as follows:
Exception ID = 90c3315f-c29d-2910-87ac-806aa372da7f com.sapportals.wdf.WdfError at com.sapportals.wdf.WdfCompositeController.buildComposition(WdfCompositeController.java:678)at com.sapportals.htmlb.AbstractCompositeComponent.preRender(AbstractCompositeComponent.java:33)

 at com.sapportals.htmlb.Container.preRender(Container.java:120)
 at com.sapportals.htmlb.Container.preRender(Container.java:120) .
--- Nested WDF Exception -
com.sapportals.wcm.WcmException: The SQL statement "INSERT INTO "KMC_URIMAPPER" ("HASH_KEY","EXTERNAL_KEY","CONST_INTERNAL","VAR_INTERNAL","EK_PREFIX","EKHK00","EKHK01","EKHK02","EKHK03","EKHK04","EKHK05","EKHK06","EKHK07","EKHK08","EKHK09","EKHK10","EKHK11","EKHK12","EKHK13","EKHK14") VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)" contains the semantics error[s]: column "EK_PREFIX" not in any scope
I tried to change the permissions of the Discussion iView, but it did not work either.
2. Some iViews like Room Information throw a Runtime Error as follows:
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : pcd:portal_content/com.sap.ip.collaboration/RoomPartContent/Generic/Pages/com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomDiscussionPage/com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomInformationExtended

The exception was logged. Inform your system administrator..
Exception id: 02:17_02/02/07_0006_213711350
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
I have figured out that the following error message is common in most or the error messages:
The SQL statement "INSERT INTO "KMC_URIMAPPER" ("HASH_KEY","EXTERNAL_KEY","CONST_INTERNAL","VAR_INTERNAL","EK_PREFIX","EKHK00","EKHK01","EKHK02","EKHK03","EKHK04","EKHK05","EKHK06","EKHK07","EKHK08","EKHK09","EKHK10","EKHK11","EKHK12","EKHK13","EKHK14") VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)" contains the semantics error[s]: column "EK_PREFIX" not in any scope
Are there any database related configurations required for making the Collaboration Room Discussion functionality work properly?
Are there any KM related configurations necessary other than those mentioned in the document I am referring to?
Are there any database related configurations that are required?
I would really appreciate any help in this matter. Please advise me about any ideas you may have?
Thanks,
Raj Seelam

Hello Lars,
First of all thank you for your reply.
do u use Collaboration first time?
Yes, we just started using Collaboration and this is our first requirement.
Which roles do u have?
I have all the required roles (Super Admin, Content Management, Collaboration, Collaboration Room Creation).
I know that these features are available in NW04 SP 17 without any limitations. I have reviewed SAP Notes 707730, 711093, 709354 and 946470 also.
This problem is with only a few Collaboration iViews.
I am able to create Rooms, Enter Rooms, Receive Invitation e-mails without any problem.
Any suggestions about any possible missing configurations ?
Thanks Again,
Raj

"404 Error - The requested resource does not exist" found in portal for Collaboration room

Hi Experts,
I am trying to resolve this issue since a week but not able to solve it, so i need your help.
The Problem is when i assign a collaboration room to a user, the room is assigned but when the user clicks on the room link it gives the "404 Error - The requested resource doesn't exist". But if a new room is created and give access to the user, the user is able to open the new room through the link and view the documents.
The Unique thing about the error is, it doesn't occur for every user it happens with few users, since I am the super_admin I am able to view all the rooms without getting such "404 error" even for once.
I have tried by setting up all the permissions to the room and also assigning Everyone role to the rooms, still the problem persists.
I am unable to find a solution for this, so need your help.
Eagerly waiting for your helpful replies.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Shumana.

Hi
Try with following link (VC should be in Caps) -
http://localhost:50400/VC/default.jsp
Also check whether you have proper admin roles assigned to your user id.

Sort order of documents in a collaboration room

hi everybody
i have a collaboration room where documents are stored in it. the sort order of my folders in the collaboration room is determined by the names of the folders.
now there are many folders in folders and at the bottom-level-folder there are the documents stored. these documents are sorted by the names of the documents too.
now my problem:
the sorting of the folders by name is OK, but at the bottom-level in the bottom-level-folder i need the documents sorted by "modified"-date (for all users). How can i easy made this change? (hope not to make a new layout set...:-() can you please post a guidance?
thank you for your help!
flo

thank you for your feedbacks...
the suggested solutions are not bad but i have this problem:
in the collaboration room we use two layout sets, one for the users with write-permission (layout set FileExplorer) and one for the users with read-permissions (layout set AnonymExplorer).
in the collaboration room the folder-structure for documents should be sorted by folder-name but in the bottom-level-folders, the documents should be sortet by modified-date.
now the problem is, that i can assign only one layout set to a folder, that would mean, that the users with the read- and write-permissions both would have the same view...
do you see another solution?
please help!
thank you

Help: Collaboration Room Bugs/Issues

Hi,
I have created my own collaboration room template by duplicating the standard Information Site template.
However, i am facing a few issues related to collaboration room creation, which might be standard features/bugs in collaboration room.
1. When i create a new Room, all the users of that room (members as well as administrators) get full access to room documents, headers, news, Faqs etc.
The permissions started working fine when i changed permissions in KM Content --> Room_Extensions.
All the existing rooms showed the correct permissions.
However, whenever i create a new room, every user gets full permissions to all the parts of the room.
This is despite the fact that i have removed all the users from full permissions to the room_extensions folder in KM and reset the child permissions.
2. I have attached the iView com.sap.ip.collaboration/TemplateContent/Homer/iViews/ com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomMemberList (Team Members iView)to my room template.
When i create a new room based on my template, i do not get the users specific to a particular room.
What i get in the Team members list is all the users listed in the Contacts list in Collaboration Launch Pad.
3. When i try to preview some of the iViews stored in com.sap.ip.collaboration/TemplateContent/Homer, i get an exception. On attaching these iViews to the Collaboration Rooms, i get a message stating "Invalid Item ID" index.xml.
I get the same message even after attaching these iViews to a collaboration room template and creating a room based on the template.
Any help regarding these issues would be highly appreciated. Full points for helping me with these issues.
Regards,
Vibhu

Hi Vibhu,
here my comments:
1) These are the standard settings (every room member gets full access) for the permissions of KM content created during a Room creation. Since KM can't distinguish between the room roles, we can't set 'better/stronger' permissions. You can only set manually permissions on concrete users.
2) It seems that you have not set the mappings for this iView. For the RoomMemberList you need the following settings:
StartURI        room_rootrolegroup_rid
path            room_rootrolegroup_rid
roomrid         roomid
in the documentation you find more mappings for iViews delivered by SAP, which You have to set in the templates.
Please see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3f/fcfe06fd7f1321e10000000a114cbd/content.htm for more information.
3) That's possible since some of the iViews needs certain iView-Parameters set to work properly. Please check if this iView needs some mappings under the link in the documentation under 2)
4) Up to now we are treating groups as you described. We are working on a solution where we work with groups as room members and we don't resolve the members of the invited/added group.

Asynchronous document generation in Collaboration Rooms

Hi, I'm new in this KMC world, but not in Portal.
I have a collaboration room, and I need to create a document, in a collaborative and asynchronous way.
I mean the creation of a document kind of .doc, .pdf, or .ppt, but without using the .dot template, or .pot template (for example).
I know that exist an Synchronous Application Sharing tool, available with Collaboration Rooms, but what I need is precisely the opposite.
I need a kind of A-Synchronous Application Sharing tool.
Anyone tried something like that?
Any help well be point-rewarded.
Thanks in advance!!
Best Regards
Marcelo
PS: If anyone feels a little bit curious about my requirement, ask me without no doubt! Bye!
Edited by: Marcelo Durante on Sep 16, 2008 6:51 PM

HI Soni, thanks for your answer.
I want to create a document in a ppt, or pdf format, but using some User Inteface provided (or developed) by Portal or Collaboration.
For example, do you know XML Forms? In those, you can input some info into several fields, and this info is "rendered" later as HTML. I want something similiar, but using PPT or PDF as "rendered format" instead HTML.
I'd need this functionality integrated into some collaboration rooms.
Is that possible??
Again, Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Marcelo
