CM Repository - Windows File System on EP(UNIX Platform)?

Hi all,
we have an EP6 SP2 on Unix. We want use CM repository manager to connect remote windows file system which contains all the content. In Global Services we wanted to use the fsmount Service-
We get the following Message:" not supported for SUN OS to Win2000 System"
Is it possible to integrate an Windows File System when you have installed the Portal on a UNIX Platform?
Thanks!

Hello Antonio,
With EP6 SP2 Patch 5 KM on a Unix portal can access windows file systems including ACLs. Please have a look at the corresponing release notes
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ep60sp2patch5/helpdata/en/4d/8dec404303702ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
or in the documentation
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ep60sp2patch5/helpdata/en/ed/b334ea02a2704388d1d2fc3e4298ad/frameset.htm

Error in configuring Windows File System Repository

Hi All,
While trying to configure Windows File system repository we are getting the following error
1. Getting this error when we give
<ip address>\<shared folder name>
Startup Error: The localroot does not exist:
10.1.100.44\Shared_folder
2. Getting this error when we give
<ip address>
Startup Error: host is unkown in file path '
10.1.100.44' - invalid network path:
10.1.100.44
Could any one help in solving this issue.

Hi Chiluveru Sravanthi
According to the documentation, there is a difference between the path syntax for the repository manager and the network path. Did you pay attention to this difference when doing your configurations?
Network paths (Network Path)
Specifies the path to the Windows remote server.
The path consists of the IP address of the Windows remote server, and a path specification.
For example,
192.168.0.1share
Alternatively, you can enter the UNC name and path of the server, for example,
servershare.
SAP recommends that you specify the IP address, since you can then check the availability of the server more easily, using the ping command.
Note: It is not sufficient to enter the server name alone. Specifications in the form of c$ cannot be resolved either.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/63/7f283ac3d7c54b94964931fa1b4ed9/frameset.htm
File System Repository Manager (Root Directory)
This denotes the path to the root directory in the file system to which the repository manager is assigned.
If you want to integrate documents from a Windows system, this can be a drive letter (followed by a colon) or directory path on the local server or a remote server share (for example, //myserver/myshare/somedir).
If you are running your portal on UNIX and want to access the file system on another UNIX host, you must mount the required directory on the portal server.
Example path when using a UNIX system:
/usr/company/share
The repository manager is responsible for the specified directory and all its subdirectories.
Note that multiple repository manager configurations are not allowed to have the same subpath in their Localroot parameter.

Windows & File System Repository - security issues

Hello,
I got a strange behavior in EP 6 SP 2 using KM and Windows file systems. Here is the scenario:
- I created a Network Path and a File System Repository pointing to a Windows 2003 File System, following the portal help instructions. Both EP6 server and Windows 2003 server are in the same domain.
- according the KM Monitor, the repository is up and running
- the portal users can access their respectives folders in the file system after having their uids / passwords mapped in the user mapping option
- the portal is assuming the permissions (read & write & list folder & etc) from windows
So far it seemed to be everything ok - but after some tests we got the problem:
- user "A" has his uid/pwd mapped in portal, and read & write access to the file system "dept_folder". He can access the folder through a KM iview, with r/w privileges.
- user "B" has his uid/pwd mapped in portal, and ONLY read access to the file system "dept_folder". He can access the folder through an KM iview, with read privileges.
- and here comes the problem: if user "A" is logged, and user "B" replaces his uid by user "A" uid in the user mapping (only the uid, the password doesn't matter) he can access the file system "dept_folder" with the same privileges than user "A".
I looked in SDN, SAP Notes and SAP Portal Help trying to find an article related to this, no success so far. We have CM Patches 2 & 3 applied, and Patch 4 doesn't have any comment about this specific security problem.
Has someone already face this problem ? Or could be something wrong in my configuration ?
Rgds, and tks in advance
Fernando Cervantes

Hi David
The same occurred here, I think I know the reason. Let me just give you an overview of my configuration:
Network Path id          ccc-ccc1fs-drive_i
Description *           DRIVE I - CCC1FS Server
Network Path *
ccc1fs\Drive_I
Password           *********
Re-Enter Password      *********
User *           ccc\service
The user was provided by the Windows administrator and has full control for this folder.
File System Repository
Description                  File System drive_i CCC1FS Server
Prefix *                /ccc-ccc1fs-drive_i
Root Directory *           //ccc1fs/drive_i
Windows Landscape System      Windows
ACL Manager                Not set
Security Manager          W2KSecurityManager
The important here is the Security Manager configuration - it must be W2KSecurityManager, otherwise you will have the user permissions overrided by admin user permission. And you will need to configure a Windows system landscape too.
I hope this can help you...concerning the bosses, I got the same situation, I said the whole stuff would work fine
Rgds,
Fernando

Need utilities class for application server file system (i.e. unix etc)

I need to do things to directories and files on the application server.
Is there an SAP class with methods for the application server file system (i.e. unix or whatever) with functionality similiar to what is provided by the methods of CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES for the presentation server?
Is there a group of SAP functions for this task?

You may have a look at Thomas Jung article: [sdn contribution : ABAP Server Side File Access, by Thomas Jung|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/7a13f367-0401-0010-47ba-eab0b15cf31c]
Moreover, in release 7.10, it could be possible that SAP introduced input and output stream classes (to mimic java classes), so I guess there could be the ones for application server file system.

PPP and PPPoE configuration are described in the [Network Administration Guide|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4555/modemtm-1] .
A WWAN device should appear as a serial device in the */dev/term* directory. The [Wireless Wide Area Network|http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=134] discussion group is probably the best place to get specific questions answered regarding your setup.

Using JMX for detecting changes in windows file system?

Can anybody help to find way to watch changes in windows file system.........Or say files are transfer in mounted drive i want to start access to those files as and when they come in drive.....do not wait while transferring all files ..

Hi,
JMX is a technology that will let a Java process expose information to a remote client application.
It doesn't define what information to expose, but simply how to make it available externally.
JMX per-se cannot be used to detect the kind of things you describe, but if you are able to detect them, JMX will help you making the information available to external applications.
Hope this helps,

Can see windows file system, its in the grub menu, can't load it.

Hello.
I can mount and access my window file system. I can also see it's entry in the grub menu, but I cannot load it.
I used os-prober to detect the windows installation and then install grub.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
This is my file system, just in case:
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name
1 2048 206847 100.0 MiB 0700 Microsoft basic data
2 206848 315121663 150.2 GiB 0700 Microsoft basic data

After you run
# grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
are there any errors during the mkconfig -o usually its says found this os then this os using os prober. Are you seeing all the os currently installed on your partitions?

Retrieving Windows File System Icons

I am building a tool similiar to windows explorer in Java 1.3.1
Does anyone know how to access the windows file system icons. I noticed that java 1.4 has a method in the FileView class called getSystemIcon(File f) to retrieve the icon. Does anyone know how to do this in 1.3.1 ?
Thanks,
clevelam

I wrote a program that displays all of the UIManager properties in a table format. Try running it and clicking on the FileView tab.
http://www.discoverteenergy.com/files/ShowUIDefaults.java
Once you know which property you want to access, try something like this:
UIDefaults defaults = UIManager.getDefaults();
Icon computerIcon = defaults.getIcon( "FileView.computerIcon" );

Required "/" (root) file system size on UNIX for Solution Manager.

Hello SAP Gurus,
   I am setting up SAP Solution Manager 3.2 on HP-UX. It is asking me about 350MB free sapce on "/" file system for Central Instance installation and about 120MB free sapce on "/" file system for Database Instance installation.
   I am installaing everything on to shared disk which mounted under /usr/sap. Why it needs free sapce in "/" file system. Is there any workaround to get rid of this requirement, as I have very less free sapce on "/" file system and I don't want to take the risks involved in increasing this size.
   Are there any SAP recommended sizes for "/" file system?
   I stuck in the middle of setting up SAP landscape on HP-UX (11.23). I searched through the Installation documents but I couldn't find any thing helpful in this regard. It is urgent requirement to set up this so please let me know any solution or workaround ASAP.
   Any help is greatly appriciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vaibhav.
Normally "canonical path not available for (folder name)" means:
1. Wrong username/password. Please double check you credentials.
2. The resource cannot be linked from the portal server. Please be sure that you can connect to the next ports in windows server from the Unix Server:
a. NetBIOS Session Service TCP 139 This port is used to connect file shares for example.
b. TCP 445 The SMB (Server Message Block) protocol is used among other things for file sharing in Windows NT/2000/XP. In windows NT it ran on top of NetBT (NetBIOS over TCP/IP), which used the famous ports 137, 138 (UDP) and 139 (TCP). In Windows 2000/XP/2003, Microsoft added the possibility to run SMB directly over TCP/IP, without the extra layer of NetBT. For this they use TCP port 445.
I hope these things help somebody.

Windows File System Issue

I have a system built using Oracle text that worked fine until we moved some content to a Windows file server. The old system used a Unix system with a samba server sharing out networked files. This system is still available and the content indexes are fine. The new system, which uses shared Windows drives, just won't generate any indexes. The Windows box has wide open security - everyone has full access. The file links in my database work - I can select them and cut and paste them into explorer to open them. The code I use to create the indexes is exactly the same for both the Unix server and the Windows server, but it just doesn't index the Windows content.
Any thoughts?

Try starting the local database service as the local administrator user, as the default internal windows account has no rights to access a network drive.

How to export repository to file system?

Hello,
within my bachelor thesis I am engaged in parsing ABAP Objects to calculate different code metrics. The analysis tool and many of the known parser-apis do require source-files at the file system layer.
As SAP stores everything in a DB, I wonder if there is a way to export the repository to the file system. And if this is not possible, is there another practicable way to access the source code?
Another point is: Does anyone know a source for a complete grammar (like ebnf or so) for ABAP Objects? that could make my life quite a lot easier...

Thanks for your advice! I've written this report:
START-OF-SELECTION.
DATA: source TYPE REF TO cl_oo_source,
source_tab TYPE seop_source_string,
classname TYPE seoclskey VALUE 'CL_OO_SOURCE'.
CREATE OBJECT source EXPORTING clskey = classname.
* Copy source->SOURCE table because gui_download( ) needs a changeable
* argument and source->source is read-only.
source_tab = source->source.
cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download( EXPORTING filename =
'c:\source.ao' CHANGING data_tab = source_tab ).
But that approach has some serious drawbacks:
I have to save each class one by one (is there a way to automate that? P.e. find all classes in one package?)
I can not access the code of reports and such because cl_oo_source requires a classname.
Is there another way or an extension to this one, to solve those problems?
Thanks,

Mac Windows file system

I have a 500gb external hard drive that I'd like to use on both my mac and pc and I'm not sure what file system to format it in or what program i should use to format it with? I believe Fat 16 or 32, I'm not sure can be formatted with disk utility but there are file size limitations.

Is there a file system with no space limitations?
Every filesystem has some size limit, and FAT32 is the best of those which can be read and written by Mac OS X and Windows out of the box. Third party software is needed to use any of the others.

Writing to the Siebel File System (on a UNIX box) using eScript

Hello All,
I am trying to extract data from the Siebel database using a Business Services written in eScript, write the data to a flat file, and place that file in the Siebel File System. The Siebel File System is on an AIX box. Does anyone know the syntax for doing this? I have not been able to get the fputs function to work.
Also, I do not want to create this file as an attachment. I simply need to create a flat, TXT file. Thanks.

Hi,
What is the sequence of operations that you are performing in e-script?
You should try to do it as:
1. var iFile = Clib.fopen(FileName, "w");
2. Clib.fputs(DataToWrite, iFile);
3. Clib.fclose(iFile);
If you are trying to write to a file, ensure that you are passing "w" in step 1 which opens the file for writing.
If this doesn't help then you will have to use Integration Objects to extract data and write that to a xml file on the server using vanilla services.
Thanks and Regards,
Tanmay Jain
