Conet Repository Manager for Lotus

Hi, guys.
We have to use the KM Repository Manager for Lotus Domino deliverd by Conet
which is based on Lotus Domino R6 and higher.
Does this mean we have to BUY the new Repository Manager from Conet
and get related implementation and configuration help from them too?

Hello Sven,
as far as I know and based on the SAP certification records CONET is the only company delivering a KM repository manager for Lotus Notes/Domino databases.
Despite the fact that the "old" SAP KM repman for Domino is technically limited to R5, the CONET repman also comes with more features and richer functionality (e.g. you can configur your distributed Lotus landscape / replication architecture for the Conet repman and other features).

DB type repository manager for information broadcasting?

I read some article which says only FSDB type of repository manager can be used for BI informaiton broadcasting. I want to broadcast to MOSS server, which uses IIS, but stores everything in database. Is there anyway to use DB or WSDL type repository manager for broadcasting?
Thanks
Jane Zhou

Where did you get this information from? Is there any document that states that? Below is the information I got, it says FSDB has to be used:
Can I use information broadcasting to distribute precalculated queries, Web applications, and workbooks to a third-party file server, Web server or document management systems?
Yes. With information broadcasting, you can precalculate queries, Web applications, and workbooks and publish them into the Knowledge Management of the SAP NetWeaver Portal.
In KM, you can easily create a Repository Manager (CM repository with persistence mode FSDB) that is attached to a file system directory (for example, the directory of an Internet Information Server (IIS)). You have to create a link in the KM folder of documents to the folder of the CM Repository attached to the file system or you can define your CM Repository as an entry point in KM. For more information, see SAP Note 827994 (SMP login required).
Information broadcasting can automatically put a new report on the third-party file server (for example, using the data change event in the process chain). KM offers repository managers for many different file servers, Web servers, and document management systems (such as IIS and Documentum):
1.                            Create CM Repository attached to file system.
2.                            Use iView KM Content to create subfolder in file system (optional).
3.                            Set permission to Administrator (optional).
4.                            Create link in /documents to folder of CM Repository attached to file system or define CM Repository as entry point. (See SAP Note 827994.)
5.                            Schedule Broadcasting Settings that export to a linked folder of CM Repository.
Because documents created via Information Broadcasting have additional attributes attached to them which mark them as broadcasted documents, it is not possible to store these kind of documents in a "pure" file system repository because such a repository usually only stores properties like "last changed", "creator", etc. Fortunately, KM provides a mechanism to nevertheless use a file system repository to store the documents. The additional properties will be stored in the database. Details are given here and here.
The "persistence mode" of the repository must be "FSDB" to allow this kind of behavior. Please note that because of the distributed storage of file and additional properties, the property assignment will be lost when moving around the document in the file system using some non-KM tool like windows explorer.

SSO through the BOE repository manager for different user names.

Hi all.
I have a task to provide a SSO access from Portal to the Crystal reports, stored in the BO folder.
I've configured everything following the configuration guides, including:
1. SSO by SAP Logon Ticket with the back-end system.
2. System in portal SLD. Connection tests passed successfully.
2. BusinessObjects Enterprise repository manager (BOErm) in KM.
I've created in the Portal a test user with the same name as in the back-end system. Everything works fine.
But I SSO doesn't work if users are different.
The problem is that production users have different names in the Portal and in the back-end system.
I cannot find how can I configure user mapping for access reports through the BOErm.
I changed the Logon Method in the portal system from SAPLOGONTICKET to the UIDPW but it didn't help.
Seems like BOErm doesn't use the portal system at all and always connects to the back-end by SAPLOGONTICKET method.
Can anybody help me to solve my problem?
How can portal users access folders in the back-end system where they have different users names?
Thank you in advance.
Mikhail.

Hi,
just to clarify it a bit more.
You have a SAP EP woth SSO to BO. Whats the Datasource ? R/3, BW, CRM ?
Usually the names of the users are identical on the SAP EP and the Backend like BW.
You just have to confiure SSO (like you did), import the roles from BW to BO, grant permissions on EP (that the users/roles can see the iView), grant permissions on BO (that the users/roles have access to the report) and you should be fine.
Where is the mismatch of the Usernames ? Between SAP EP and Backend like BW ?
SAPLOGONTICKET is the only authentication method you can use between SAP EP and BO

Company for Lotus Notes Integration

Hello,
I'm searching for solutions to integrate Lotus Notes into Enterprise Portal.
I found much information about the You@Web Repository Manager for Lotus Notes, supplied by Conet.
This is the only company, I found.
Does anyone know another company with a solution for Notes integration, so that i can compare them?
Or is Conet the only one supplier?
Thanks in advance!

Help needed: Search function for custom Repository Manager

Hi there,
i'm writing my own Repository Manager for EP 6.0 SP2 PL4.
I've serious problems getting the search function running. I'm using the 'new', Netweaver-based API.
I think, there are some general questions to answer:
- My Repository Manager exposes lots of custom
   properties to the system. I create the properties
   for example using following code:
   IProperty newProp = new StringSingleValueProperty(
     PropertyName.getPropertyName(
              "{}" + myAttName),
     myAttVal,                         PropertyFlags.constructFlags(
              true, false, true, false)
    Is there any convention for the propertie's name?
    I think it has to be written in lowercase only?
    Can I use ANY namespace I want instead of the
    empty default namespace? (For example:
- After indexing my resources (of course, containing my
   custom properties), the TREX-Monitoring screen for my
   index shows all my custom properties in the 'Document
   Properties' area, but all uppercase chars are escaped
   somewhat. Is this OK?
- Trying to use the index above to search for particular
   resources in my repository by my custom properties
   fails all the time ('no docs found...'); searching for
   any system property works fine. What's the reason?
- How can I force the (Property-) search uses my
   custom namespace-manager's methods
   isQueryPropertyNameUnderstood() and
   getQueryBuilder()
   to perform a 'pure' property search by the repository
   manager? It seems that the TREX always handles the
   queries by itself, because my methods are never called.
Thanx for you help,
Daniel

I created a new manager and copied the classes exactly from the "simple" example and I see similar behavior. Actually, when I do this, folders are recursively copied, but not files. Again, browsing and viewing of files work fine. Again, I am not seeing any unexpected exceptions.
The only thing that changed were the names and namespaces. Nothing else at all was changed.
This makes me think I am missing some configuration somewhere or there is something special about the example project that the wizards are not creating. The only difference I see in the project file is an additional nature (com.tssap.selena.cmf.PatternNature), but I am not sure that is relevant.
Wow, I am really stumped.

Design Considerations for a Repository Manager in a clustered environment

Hi,
I am currently building a repository manager for a backend document management system. Our portal is installed in a load balanced clusterd environment and we are creating the following functionality in the repostiory manager -
- Browse content
- Read/Write document Metadata
- Upload/download documentation
- Reserve/Unreserve documentation
- Search
How will a clustered environment affect the implementation of the repository manager? Would I need to check for a clustered installation in any kind of way in my code? Currently I do not see why this would be necessary, but i'm not entirely sure and I need this manager to work in a clustered environment.
I could see this as being an issue if we are caching information about the documents in the repository. However, we are not. We will only be caching user information which can be stored separately in a single cache on each server.
Thanks for your help,
Scott

Hi Scott!
There might be two reasons for knowing whether other cluster nodes are running or not and for communicating with them:
- synchronizing access to the backend
- synchronizing caches
If your repository manager must care for serialized access to the backend you will have to synchronize cluster-wide. You don't have to, if your backend can handle parallel access on its own (like a web-server).
If you cache data in your repository and you want to update the caches of the repositories on the other cluster nodes (maybe because you don't get events for changed data from your backend), you must think of sending messages between cluster nodes. You don't have to, if you think that the expiration of your cache entries is shorter than the required timeliness of the data.
Kind Regards, Dirk

How to develop repository manager with initial folder structure

Hi 2 all!
I wonder if it is possible to create new repository programmatically with defined folder structure. I'm interested in solutions when repository manager is works with db or file system. Can you provide any example or tell me where can I define my structure?
thnx

Hi Nata!
Basicly this task consists of two steps:
1. Deploy a new configuration object for the repository manager
2. Create the intial folder structure
Step one is simple. Here is the configuration object of the repository manager for /documents. It's been exported from the KM configuration by using the standard export mechanisms. This can be included into a portal application project in Netweaver Studio.
documents.co.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

</Configurable>
This is a DB repository. The config object for a filesystem repository might differ.
Step 2, the creation of the initial file structure may be done with in two different ways:
a) Include a Repository Service with your repository, which creates the folder structure on the first access of your repository.
b) Include a Portal app which has to be called once to create the folder structure.

Language Issue in Repository Manager and T-REX

Hi Everybody,
we are trying to implement a repository manager for SAP KM. Our systems stores documents language specific in a database. Now we are wondering how we should create a view to the documents, so that every document in each language is indexed by T-REX correctly. Lets say the internal view is something like this:
   /Documents
      ->File.pdf
/Images
      ->Image.jpg
In this case File.pdf and Image.jpg can exist in different languages. So our question is, does T-REX create an index for each language available in the portal? If so, which would be very nice, how can we get the current language T-REX is using for indexing within our RM implementation?
Otherwise we have to create virtual TOP-Level laguage folders for each language in our database that would look like this
/de
   /Documents
      ->File.pdf
/Images
      ->Image.jpg
/en
   /Documents
      ->File.pdf
/Images
      ->Image.jpg
We try to avoid this, since File.pdf ist a single item with different language versions.
Does anybody know the best way to solve this?
Kind Regards,
Ali

Hi Matthias,
I think the language handling and the mapping of default languages is application specific and should be done within the RM. In our case this available allready, since our WCMS system allready take care about that... So for a logged in user, we are able to create a language specific folder structure very nicely.
Our problem is the indexing by TREX. We wan't to make sure that every language version of the docment can be found when people searching. So in our case the perfect solution would be that TREX asks the RM for available languages in the repository and starts a crawler for each language available in the repository.
Something that I am not sure about is the presentation of the search results. Since the URL of the search result might point to a different language version than the logged in user has. So if the URL is
http://server/irj/go/km/repsotory/Documents/File.pdf
this might result to a german document, even if the searched term is in the english document. So the language must be set in the search result. For example like this
http://server/irj/go/km/repsotory/Documents/File.pdf?locale=en
This would be our preferred way to handle this issue. I think we will keep the virtual language folders until the new feature is available.
Thank you guys for this very high quality answers )
Kind Regards,
Ali

Is there any Read/Write capable ArchiveLink Repository Manager?

Hello Experts and Super-Experts Thilo and Detlev:

Lotus repository manager

Hi,
I have followed sdn documentation for the creation of Lotus repository manager. The Lotus Domino server settings and restart have happened. Yet, the component monitor start up has failed.
Filter, services and resource event broker all show as running.
Please advise as to what may be wrong. Valuable suggestions would be rewarded with points.
Thanks,
Arun

hi,
You must fulfill the following prerequisites in order to use the lotus repository manager:
·        You have installed a Lotus Domino server in version 5.0.6.
·        You have a Lotus Notes user that has read access to all documents.
   The following settings are to be made in the Domino Administrator by the administrator of the Lotus Domino server.
       1.      Users have an Internet password. On the People and Groups tab, choose People -> Edit Person. On the Basics tab for the user, set the Internet password. This password is needed for User Mapping in the portal.
       2.      The permission Run unrestricted Java/Javascript/COM must be assigned to the users on the Lotus Domino server. Make these settings under Configuration -> Current Server Document -> Security.
       3.      You have to activate the parameter Allow HTTP clients to browse databases under Configuration ® Current Server Document -> Internet Protocols ->HTTP so that the repository manager can access the Lotus Domino servers databases.
Make sure that the timeout of the DIIOP Web Agent is set to a suitable value. Enter a value of 3600 or higher.
       4.      The IIOP protocol has to be activated (Configuration tab and then Current Server Document ® Ports -> Internet Ports -> IIOP).
Make sure that the DIIOP task is activated. Enter load diiop into the server console, or add DIIOP to the list of tasks in the notes.ini file: ServerTasks = ,diiop,
       5.      The HTTP and IIOP ports of the Domino server have to be open.
For details check out the link.

Possible reasons for a repository manager not displayed under KM Content

Hi,
I developed a repository manager and deployed the par file Archive uploader.
Most time after deployment, I can see immediately an instance of the repository manager under KM Content. However, sometimes, when I made some changes to the code, it doesn't appear under KM Content. The deployment log in SYS/global/config/cm/reports shows no error.
I tried to find some log in System Administration - Monitor, but found nothing.
So, could anyone tell me:
1. What might be the reason for the problem that the repository manager cannot display under KM Content after deploying the par?
2. Where can I find the log explaining why my repository manager cannot display?
Thanks,
Ray

Hi Ray,
Deploying a repository manager means a hot KM deployment, which isn't supported at all, see https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/bb1f18be-0801-0010-ffa0-e3495f7401bc and SAP note 894884. After such a deployment, the KM is restarted, but you have some kind of "shadow KM" in memory, which leads for most things to an unpredictable behaviour.
In contrast to the documents reffered to above, also the standard KM delivery from SAP still behaves in an uncontrolled way for many issues.
That's why after a KM hot deployment, you should restart your server if you realize anything "unusual". A workaround is to debug your code and using the hot code replacement feature (which only works in some situations, but that's better than nothing...).
Hope it helps
Detlev
