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!

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

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
flo

Refresh Documents window in a Room with Flexible UI One-Step-Screenflow

Hi everyone:
I made a customer UI command for uploading files under Documents in a collaboration room. Our implementation is based on the example code in an article Implementing Flexible UI One-Step-Screenflow at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/kmc/implementing flexible ui one-step-screenflow.article.
As we need to build our GUI for uploading multiple files at a time, this is implemented in another DynPage class and displayed in a newly opened browser window. This class is called by JavsScript window.open(...).
Because we do not need the OK and Cancel buttons so in the example code I have removed them. But we need to refresh the window in order to display the newly uploaded files. This should be done in the DynPage class after the new window is closed.
How can I implement in Java or JavaScript in order to simulate clicking the Documents in a collaboration room?
Any hint will be appreciated?
Kind regards.
Wang

Hi Wang,
you hav run into a more or less well-known classloader problem. See UICommand deployment
A workaround, as you have found out by yourself, is to add a number (_1, _2, ...) to the class / some package part, and also do edit the command mapping according to this.
Hope it helps

Collaboration Rooms and Document Uploads from Network

Hi,
We are starting to use Collaboration Rooms and would like the Documents iview to point to our network file system, so when a user uploads a file he can do it via the portal or our network drive. We are using FSR's elsewhere and are wondering how to incorporate it into a collab room document iview. Our portal environment is NW04 Stack 12.
Any assistance would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Kris

Hi Kris,
what you need to do is to create a collaboration room template that would integrate a KM Navigation iView that points to the file share. Of course, first you need to integrate the share via repository manager in KM.
I hope you know how to integrate the share into KM. For more on how to create a room template check the info in this thread:
Collaboration Room Creation error on NW04 SP9
Hope this helps,

Attributing Documents in the public area of a Collaboration Room

Is there a way you can attribute documents to your taxonomy that are stored in the public area of a collaboration room?

Thanks for your response Stephen but I've already think about that.
Actually, the room part "KM Document" works with an external parameter manually entered by the user.
So, I just have to create an external parameter and enter the real path after the creation of the room.
Are there any other standard solutions ?

Approval-process for publishing documents in Collaboration-Room

Hi @ all,
is it possible to use a approval-process for publishing documents form the private document store of a collaboration room to the public one? I it is, how I have to do it, I have no idea?!?
Or is there a way to give specific users the right to publish a document.
Thanks for your response!
Best regards
Kai

Kai -
I'm not sure about publishing from private to public. However, you can set-up folders in the Collaboration rooms to enable State Management. To do this, you'll need to use a system principal to alter the permissions on the specific Collaboration room document folder.

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.

"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

Some questions on Collaboration rooms

HI,
In some of the room templates I found an extension BANNER. But how do I configure a Banner for my room I couldnt find.
I want to add a quick poll to my room template which I developed. How do I go about this.
The Search Room functionality: DOes this require TREX set up and if so what do I need to index for it to work.
Now in a collaboration room if i have a documents page which is a navigation page, the end user gets access to Move, Copy, Delete etc etc on the resources. How do I remove such links?
If I need to create any other such iView like a BI iView in my room template, how do I go about this?
Points assured for a Detailed Answer.

thanks vijayakumar kanniah mohan
The room part works once I already have 2-3 created rooms.
Suppose I wish to add a quickpoll to the tenmplate will it reflect fo all the rooms which have been priorly created using this template.
In such a scenario, what can I do?
e.g. My template is MYTEMPLATE out of which I create ROOM 1 and ROOM 2. I can go and add room parts to those 2 rooms. But what if I want to just edit the room template and say add the quick poll to an existing page there. How do I get it reflected in ROOM 1,2.
Also I didnt quite get the answer to the Banner question.
I have the folowing Extensions in the room tempalte:
Banner
cmRoomExtensionSP2FP
ON_CREATE_ROOM
ON_DELETE_ROOM
Contacts
cmRoomExtensionSP2FP
ON_CREATE_ROOM
ON_DELETE_ROOM
Documents of a Department
cmRoomExtensionSP2FP
ON_CREATE_ROOM
ON_DELETE_ROOM
Documents
cmRoomExtensionSP2FP
ON_CREATE_ROOM
ON_DELETE_ROOM
Downloads
cmRoomExtensionSP2FP
ON_CREATE_ROOM
ON_DELETE_ROOM

ON_DELETE_ROOM
Links

But how do I put an image as the banner and where.
Thanks agian and waiting in anticipation for your reply.

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.
