Agile PLM - how to archive attachments

This might be the wrong forum - but I am utterly frustrated after paging through Oracle's support documentation, and waiting for nearly a month for a reply from the support organization.
We've been using Agile for over five years now - currently we're running Agile PLM, version 9.2.1.4.
My current problem is the attachment store. Specifically we have no means to archive the files there.
This is a huge problem: analysis indicates that a majority of the files we currently have there were written once and never looked at again. Many are not looked at after a few weeks. We've got years and years of data that no one will ever want to view - but we can't just get rid of it due to regulatory restrictions.
So what I've got is this huge fat store of useless bits that I can't delete, that I seem to have no way to move to lower cost storage or run to tape. It just sits there, forever, eating money for power and disk space and causing headaches.
The mantra 'disk is cheap' is true when one is shopping at Best Buy for a new hard drive. It is NOT true when you have networked attached storage and terabytes of data and it never stops growing.
How are we supposed to archive data in Agile PLM? We've got the people smarts to implement a solution, what we seemingly lack is any concern on Oracle's part for ongoing costs associated with Agile PLM deployment. Give us a guide, something, anything, that will allow us to archive these files before my NAS explodes.

Hello,
Attachments to your business transaction will not be archived when you archive your business document.
First you have to figure out where is your attachment stored?
If it is stored in SAP Table then you can think of relocation / migration of attachments to your external content server.
If attachment is already stored in external content server then nothing to worry about these documents. Users can display Physical attachments even after you archive business document from respective archiving object.
Hope this will answer your question.
-Thanks,

How to archive attachments

Dear experts,
I don't know how to archive files attached to transactions?
When I archive transactions, are they also archived at the same time?
Or do I have to archive transactions and attachments separately?
'BC_LOIO' seems the archive object for me when seeing t-cd:aobj.
Please help me.

How to remove authentication to access Agile PLM object's attachment link

In Agile PLM web client, create part and add attachment. Now select the attachment row, click More and select ‘Get Shortcut’ option. Paste this link in browser. It will ask for authentication and once you give the details it will open the file.
The link I got from ‘Get Shortcut’ looks like http://<Server>/Agile/link/..
Can anyone tell me how to remove this authentication?

I would restore User's file structre back to normal just by copying from standby user?
Did you mean copy files to a new user profile? If so, hope this link can be helpful for you
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/fix-corrupted-user-profile#1TC=windows-7
For the unknown user, as you said, it's probably a user account from second OS or
action. If you're annoying about this unknown user, then you can remove all occurrences of granted rights to the specified SID with this command icals [/remove[:g|:d]] <Sid>[...]] [/t] [/c] [/l] [/q]

How to start the file server for Agile PLM

when i try to add one attachment for an Item, i got the following error message:
The preferred file server http://agileserver:8080/Filemgr/AttachmentServlet for user : xxx is down
how to startup the file mgr?

Hi is this looks like a question for Agile A9.
For Agile A9 or Primavera questions, you can use Oracle Support, Support Communities, Yahoo Groups for Agile API or WRAU.
This forum is for Agile PLM for Process, which is part of the same Agile family but a different product.
Thanks.

Sensory Analysis in Agile PLM 4P

Hi all,
an our Customer ask us if Agile PLM 4P has a Module dedicate to Sensory Analysis.
Is there a sort of eQ that enables you to send Product questionaire to a panel group?
I think the PQS Module is the most similar to the Sensory Analysis procedure.
Have you some ideas about how to use PQS Module for this scope?
I hope my question is clear.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Stefano

What do you mean when you said "Session has a leader and participants"?
Who could a partecipant be?
Could partecipants be external people or must be "Agile Users?
Participants/Testers have to be UGM users. These are the users that are in charge of scoring each sample. These are listed as "users" in a session and designated on the "scored by" field on the scorecard itself. However each scorecard has a field for a "Panelist". This is a free text field where you capture an individual's name that is working with the participant/tester to complete the score card. For example, John (internal user) is testing sample XYZ. He brings in a Sally as a panelist. He would ask Sally to rate the "Aroma" of the sample and then he would fill out the score card with her response. Once he has captured all of her responses around the sample he would calculate the total score and complete the scorecard. He would then move on to the next sample and fill out a new scorecard for that sample. This is meant to be a highly interactive experience with the panelist and the "participant/tester".
John could probably also initiate the scorecard and allow the panelist to fill out the scorecard directly. Once the panelist is finished John would calculate the total and complete the scorecard.
Is it possible to create a web interface to externalize the sensory analysis?
The only PQS web service currently available is around the Sample Creation. This service allows you to automate/integrate the sample creation process.
Is it possible to add some images on the sensory analysis?
PQS only allows images/attachments on the sample record. You can't add images onto the scorecard itself.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions.

Creating Custom BI Reports from Oracle Agile PLM

Hi All,
Firstly apologies if this post is in the wrong forum, I struggling to find any real Oracle Agile Support.
I have been tasked with developing 3 custom BI reports for Oracle Agile. I have used BI Publisher in the past but only within Oracle E-Business Suite. From what I have seen so far Oracle Agile is a lot different.
What I need to understand is within Oracle Agile how do I create the XML Data file for the custom report, and then how do you then register the RTF template and run the report within Oracle Agile PLM.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Regards
Pete

Hi,
To develop custom report there are many way's. To discuss more Please send your contact details at [email protected]

Agile PLM Read Only Tables

Hello,
Im working on Agile PLM and facing issues in modifying the 'Change History' for an Item.
When i'm executing following code-
ITable table = item.getTable(ItemConstants.TABLE_CHANGEHISTORY);
Map param = new HashMap();
param.put(ItemConstants.TABLE_CHANGEHISTORY, "10");
IRow row = table.createRow(params);
Following error is observed
Exception in thread "main" Error code : 60063
Error message : Object is read-only
Agile SDK documentation says the table "Change History" is a Read-Only table, how can i make it writable??
Any pointers in this regards will be helpful.
Hoping for a response.. :-)

Hi,
Only the released/canceled changes with the Affected Items could be listed in the Item's 'Change History' table. You cannot force any data write to Change History directly.

Extensibility Pack 3.6 for Agile PLM for Process 6.1.1.1 is now available

Extensibility Pack 3.6 for Agile PLM for Process 6.1.1.1 is now on Oracle Software Delivery Cloud
We are pleased to announce the General Availability of Agile PLM for Process Extensibility Pack 3.6 as of October 30th, 2013.
Extensibility Pack 3.6 provides two new technical enablement features:
Email Extensibility
Customizing the content of workflow emails in GSM and SCRM without custom code is now easier with the addition of a new set of placeholder variables, conditional variables, and other capabilities. These variables are available by deploying a new set of plugins, which can be configured through the CustomPluginExtensions.xml file.
Some examples of the new functionality include:
Displaying new data in the emails, such as the workflow Comment, Cross Reference numbers, Category/Sub-category/Group, a trade specification’s GTIN, a material specification’s Ingredient Statement, etc.
Providing meaningful related specification information in Signature Document emails.
Conditionally displaying data, such as only including a material specification’s classification if it is an Approved status.
User Interface Extensibility
Clients wishing to customize specific User Interface behavior, such as marking certain fields as read only, or applying formatting to show required fields, will be able to do this using the User Interface Extensions feature. Clients can write simple Javascript code which then gets pulled into the desired user interface pages. The Javascript code can leverage useful new Javascript variables and functions that make it easier to perform user interface manipulation, as well as access specific data from the given item (e.g., the specification’s status, the user’s groups, etc).
Watch the introductory video on the User Collaboration site for a high level overview.
More information on these new features can be found in the Extensibility Guide, along with detailed technical documentation.

Hello dirk and Kyle203,
I have PCI 8532 devicenet card in my system, the test unit has devicent implemented in it,
to verify devicenet is working or not we check whether we can read Devicenet vendor id, I have downoaded the latest driver NI-IndComDNET2.1-Beta1.
Thanks for the new update. I developed a VI which is very similar to GetIdentityAttrs VI which is in Example.
Port opens fine, but I cannot see connection being established.I always get the error Error -1074388991 occurred at Get DeviceNet Attribute.vi
I know connections are proper and the Device MAC ID and speed too. Pls throw some light.'
Attached is the VI and error image

New to Agile PLM

Hello Gurus,
I am new to Agile PLM and would request the users here to help me with the Agile PLM. Please forward me anygood source of reading material or notes for the Agile PLM beginner - Functional. I am presently in California and would appreciate if you could forward me the Agile training location.
Thanks,
Pradeep

Hi,
We have installed Agile PLM9.2.2.4 stand alone on windows along with oracle application server 10g.
The JMS configuration and Agile deployment were successful.
But when verifying the server login using admin user and password as agile, it throws an error: Invalid username and password.
The same error occurs even from Javaclient as well.
It would be great if anybody can let us know what went wrong and how we can resolve this.
Thanks and Regards,

C# to agile plm

Hi
I am new Agile PLM. I want to send files to agile PLM using PN number from other site based on ASP.NET. So is it possible to do?

Are you needing to get existing supporting documents/attachments from PLM for Process to your site, or the other way around?
Is the Part Number stored as a cross reference on the specification, or is it the name of the supporting document? What type of Specification(s) would you be retrieving the data from?
You could probably write a custom web service that takes in your PN and returns the attachment. We have a reference web service along with documentation in the Extensibility Pack, in the ReferenceImplementations\ReferenceWebServices folder. Of course, the logic in the web service would be different, but this example and documentation helps guide you in creating a web service.

Ron

Thanks for the response Ron, Sorry for the late response from my side.......
FYI, We are using AGILE PLM 9.3.3. I am asking about is there any document or any process that you know to clone/migrate this Agile from one server to another [Linux 4.6].
I copied Agile from server1 to server2. and I edited all the required files in database side and startup the database. Now the database and the db listener is up and running fine. But I dont know how to configure the Agile application on new server to bring it up. Please help me.

Agile PLM Process eXtensions

Hi,
I hope this is the correct place to post this question. If not, I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. I am trying to develop an Agile PLM PX for autonumbering following the example in the Agile SDK Developer Guide. I have created a sample class and deployed it to my Agile PLM development environment. When I go into the Java client, go to Admin->Settings->Data Settings->AutoNumbers, click on the "New AutoNumber" icon, and change the Type to be Custom, I get an error. When I do this the bottom box is supposed to give me the option select the Custom Autonumber to use and the Timeout. Instead, there is just a "|" where this bottom box is supposed to be. As soon as I remove my .jar file from the extensions directory for my PX then this starts working correctly. We have some other Custom Action PX's deployed in this environment that work correctly, but no Custom Autonumbers. Does anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks!

I have made some progress. I have discovered that if I use the ant build script included with the SDK samples then my code works correctly. If I try to build the project and deploy it using Eclipse I get the error. So I am assuming this is something set up wrong in my Eclipse project.
My next question is how would I go about connecting to the Agile PLM database from within the PX? The SDK guide says this is possible but doesn't give any examples. Are there some functions available in the API that allow direct calls to the database, or do I need to try and retrieve the database connection information and code the connection myself?
Thanks!

How to add attachments in pdf -URGENT

Hi All,
I need information about how to add attachments to pdf in webdynPro. I am unable to find related topics in Forums. Sample code,examples,or suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you
Regards
Ravi

Hello Ravi,
Please take a look at: Add attachments to the Interactive form of a Web dynpro application
Please take a look at my reply there on Mar. 29, 2007. I am not sure but i assume that you are using Web Dynpro for Java. Attachment capability is available with NW04s SP10 (both runtime and NWDS). Although, SP09 contains the required web dynpro runtime changes but the API has only been made part of SP10. Follow the note numbers provided therein.
