Configuring folder structure for custom url contents

Hi Experts,
We are trying to create a custom help link similar to the standard help links provided by SAP (example:  http://help.sap.com/saphelp_xrpm400/helpdata/en/AD/815F4283F26255E100000000A155106/content.htm).
Our custom help link should look like this: http://help.mycompany.com/xrpm450/en/AD/815F4283F26255E100000000A155106/content.htm
To achieve this we are following a SAP FAQ Note: 991559
Based on the solution provided in this note for Q.4 we have implemented the following steps:
Proposed solution by SAP:
Yes it is possible to configure custom help. For instance, the default xRPM help doc url for Item Details looks like this: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_xrpm400/helpdata/en/AD/815F4283F26255E100000000A155106/content.htm
The value of "http://help.sap.com/saphelp_xrpm400/helpdata/" and
"http://help.sap.com/saphelp_xrpm450/helpdata/" is maintained in property sheet of com.sap.xapps.cprxrpm.common.component.CommonComp. To change the value to custom url, please follow the steps:
1. log in to J2EE Visual Administrator
2. go to J2EE instance -> Server -> Services -> Configuration Adapter
3. at right panel, click on webdynpro -> sap.com->xappscprxrpmcommon-> Components -> com.sap.xapps.cprxrpm.common.component.CommonComp -> Propertysheet.profile
4. Open Propertysheet.profile, replace default value for SAP_HELP_URL with custom help url, such as http://help.mycompany.com/xrpm400/
5. Set up required folder structure such as /en/AD/815F4283F26255E100000000A155106/, and create content.htm with your custom help content.
Now the complete path for custom doc could be: http://help.mycompany.com/xrpm400/en/AD/815F4283F26255E100000000A155106/content.htm
However, in the 5th point SAP has mention about creating a folder structure like /en/AD/815F4283F26255E100000000A155106/ . We created this folder. However, we cannot access this folder through http url.
Please let me know if any extra configuration needs to be done after creating this folder structure.
Thanks & regards,

  • ADF11g - integration with OIM -folder structure for OIM configuration files

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to make call to a remote OIM using OIM API, from my ADF backing bean onclick of a button
    on the JSPX page.
    I'm able to compile the page, but the issues I'm facing is that I'm not able to read the configuration details
    specified for OIM connectivity from the OIM configuration files (authwl.conf, xl.policy, xlconfig.xml).
    So do any one know what is going to be the folder structure for these config files (OIM), when we are integrating to
    this API from ADF backing bean.
    Thanks All .
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Daniel, thanks for the response but i readed that doc before asking here and that's one of the reasons of my question.
    On the first line of the doc it says *"This appendix includes instructions that describe how to configure WebSphere so that Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) and Oracle Identity Analytics (OIA) can be installed on separate servers."*
    It assumes both products are on different servers and also the creation of an new profile and node for oia.
    WAS_NDS_HOME/AppServer/bin/manageprofiles.sh -create*
    -templatePath WAS_NDS_HOME/AppServer/profileTemplates/managed*
    -profileName oia-managed01 -profilePath WAS_NDS_HOME/profiles/oia-managed01*
    -nodeName oia-managed01-node01 -hostname hostname*
    Integrate the OIA node to the OIM Cell by typing the following command on the OIA Machine:*
    cd OIM_HOME/xellerate/setup; ./xlAddNode.sh oia-managed01 oia-managed01-node01 192.168.21.9 8883 xelsysadm password1*
    Our intention is to use same machines, servers,... oim is using so we don't need to use extra machines or create extra websphere objects.
    Any tips on that?

  • How will i configure partner determination for customer master

    how will i configure partner determination for customer master data.

    hi
    Check this
    BUSINESS PARTNERS AND PARTNER DETERMINATION
    In the partner determination procedure you can determine whether partner functions can or should occur in a partner object (Customer Master, Sales Document, Item Category etc.) For each object, in which partner function can be created, you can define partner procedures. This also means that
    For Customer Master
    For Sales Documents
    For Sales Documents and Billing Documents: for items
    We can define our partner determination procedure for each of these levels as shown below. In Blue are given the ones wherein the Partner Procedures are assigned to the Partner Objects
    Customer Master Account Group
    Sales Document Header Sales Document Type
    Sales document Item Item Category in sales
    Delivery Delivery Type
    Billing Header Billing Type
    Billing Item Billing Type
    Sales Activity Sales Activity type
    By assigning a procedure you determine for which account groups (for the customer master), which sales document types (for sales documents) and for which item categories this procedure would be valid.
    In the partner determination procedure you can determine for each partner function
    whether the partner function is an obligatory partner function
    whether the partner function can be changed in the document
    BUSINESS PARTNER FUNCTION
    By assigning a business partner function to a partner you can determine which functions the partner fulfils in the business process. Partner Functions are classified using partner type. The partner type represents the roles played by the business partner within the business transaction.
    Following partner functions exist in the standard process of Sales and Distribution
    Partner Type Customer
    Sold-to Party, Ship-to Party, Bill-to Party, Payer and Sold-to Party authorized to release against a contract. You can define the sold-to party authorized to release against a contract in the partner screen of a contract. This partner may only schedule orders with reference to this contract, even when he is not the sold-to party authorized against a contract.
    Partner Type Contact Person
    Contact persons are natural persons whom you must contact at the customers for business processing (e.g. purchasers) Contact person can be created directly in customer master record.
    Partner Type Vendor
    A forwarding agent is an example of a business partner on the credit side, who is included in a sales process. If you commission a particular forwarding agent for deliveries to a specific customer, you can define the forwarding agent in the customer master record as the partner.
    The other possible partner functions on the credit side in the sale process are interpreters, auditors etc. The forwarding agent is an agent who performs transportation services. This includes organizing the shipment, delivery and receipt of the goods, arranging the carrier services and handling the customs issues.
    Partner Type Personnel
    Employee Responsible
    Sales Personnel
    You can enter an employee from your firm as the person responsible:
    In the Customer Master – If the employee is normally responsible for processing transactions with this customer.
    In the Sales Document – If the employee is responsible for processing the Business Transaction.
    STEP WISE PROCESS FOR PARTNER DETERMINATION PROCEDURE
    Sales and Distribution->Basic Functions->Partner Determination->set Up Partner Determination->Set up Partner Determination for Customer Master.
    First go to OVT0 – create customer account groups. Here you make new entries, click whether it is a one time customer, description. Also you can do the field selection here for general data, co. code data and sales area data.
    Now go to IMG – logistics general – business partner – customers – control – define & assign customer number ranges define the number. Here you range that you want and assign it to your customer account group.
    Now go to VOPA – here the selection will be on customer master, click on partner procedures, create the partner determination procedure. The following steps need to be done in partner determination area
    Assign partner function to account group i.e SP,SH, BP, PY to account group (debit side ). Sales and Distribution->Basic Functions->Partner Determination->Assign Partner Functions on the debit side to account Groups.
    Then create Partner Determination Procedure.
    Assign the Partner Determination Procedure to Partner Function.
    Then finally assign the Partner Determination Procedure to acc group.
    Important Points in Business Partners and Partner Determination Procedure
    Partner relationship maintained/defined in the customer master is proposed automatically in the document header when you create a sales document.
    In customizing we can decide whether several partners can be assigned to one partner function in the customer master.
    In sales documents, the system is configured so that only one partner can be assigned to each partner function.
    We can define partners at item level in the sales documents.
    Business Partners that are defined at the header level however cannot be changed at the item level.
    You can prohibit anyone from changing a partner that has already been entered in a sales document.
    It is also possible to manually change or enter the address of a partner, such as the Ship-to Party. This change does not affect the master record.

  • Proper Folder Structure For CS6

    Hello there,
    I am seeing many recent examples from Adobe help that suggests a DPS project needs to have a folder/file structure that has seperate files for both virticle and horizontal orentations. Since CS6 offer dual orentations what exactly is the proper folder structure for the most recent release of InDesign/DPS.
    Please help clarify this kindly.
    Sincerialy,
    Ken Harper

    Our newest File structure for multiple renditions in CS6 concerning the "import-impossible-bug" is:
    _Stack_1280x752
    000_cover
    001_toc
    002_article_1
    _Stack_1024x768
    000_cover
    001_toc
    002_article_1
    _Stack_1024x600
    000_cover
    001_toc
    002_article_1
    _Stack_480x960
    000_cover
    001_toc
    002_article_1
    _Links
    000_cover
    001_toc
    002_article_1
    We produce each new Stack for a different Rendition with alternate Layouts but delete the Old one within that file, so we can continue to use multi stack import and sidecar.xml.
    The Assets to all of the Stacks are saved within the _Links directory so we don't need to duplucate the Files.

  • What is the default iTune Folder Structure for iTunes 10?

    What is the default iTune Folder Structure for iTunes 10? As far as I can tell in windows 7 it goes something like.
    My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music
    Other folders for downloads, pod casts, mobile applications are all in the iTunes Media folder, however the iTunes library database files are located in the iTunes Folder.
    The reason I ask is that I am re-doing my music collection and I set up the folder structure mentioned above, but iTunes re-arranded everything and copied all of my music into the iTunes Media folder.
    Anyone have any idea how iTunes does it by default?

    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    If you have upgraded from version 8 (or earlier) to iTunes 9 (or later) at some point, then your media folder (everything inside the red outline) may still be called iTunes Music instead of iTunes Media. The extra Music folder inside the media folder is used if you have allowed iTunes to Upgrade to iTunes Media Organization (iTunes 9) or used File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" (iTunes 10). Depending on your choices for Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library plus a little bug in which one build changed the name of the file storing the choice of layout it is quite easy for some of your files to be organized according to one layout and some the other.
    Assuming you're happy letting iTunes organize your files the following steps should tidy things up (should it be necessary):
    1. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" and click OK. Skip if this option is greyed out (already upgraded) or you prefer the older layout.
    2. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Consolidate files and click OK. This will bring any files currently organised outside the designated media folder into it.   NB This will create duplicate copies of any file that needs to be consolidated, and you will need to manually clean up afterwards. If space is at a premium try my scripts Unconsolidated to find out what would need moving and ConsolidatebyMoving to move rather than copy it.
    3. Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab, uncheck Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK.
    4. Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab, check Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK. This triggers iTunes into reorganizing everything according to your preferences.
    5. (Optional) Close iTunes, rename the folder iTunes Music as iTunes Media then restart iTunes. Check under Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab that the location has automatically updated. If you can't access the media for any reason just undo the folder rename.
    6. (Optional - Windows only) If Windows Media Player has ever had access to your files it may have liberally scattered folder artwork files about which iTunes won't tidy up when it reorganizes things, thus leaving behind a heap of folders with artwork and no media. I've written a script for cleaning this mess up called CleanDeadArt.
    PS If you really prefer the older layout, but it is already in the new one then edit the file called .iTunes Preferences.plist in your media folder and change the integer from 1 to 0 before doing step 3.

  • What is the folder structure for iTunes for Ver. 11.0.5

    What is the folder structure for iTunes for Ver. 11.0.5 since I have iTunes on an external drive at the moment but want to move it back to the HD temporary so as to back it up to TM, the problem is that it seems that the files are some what disarranged and I'm not sure where and how iTune reads them.

    Time Machine will back up connected external drives as long as they are not on the exclude list.
    Connect the drive with your iTunes library > System Preferences > Time Machine > Options > if the external drive with the iTunes library is listed, select it and click the minus sign then run the Time Machine backup

  • How can I make a folder structure for both PSE and Premiere Elements?

    I have recently bought bundled PSE 10 and Prem Elements 10 ... (but have been using PSE6 for years)
    I have lots of jpeg photos on an external drive in folders with a heirarchical structure eg. Pictures ... Friends ... 2011 ... 2011_12_02_Margate_seagulls.jpg  I also have loads of photos that are simply there waiting to be sorted and are in their native format e.g PIC_6120.jpg     Additionally I have .MOV files dumped from my JVC standard def camera some of which are custom named, others are left as is.  I now own a hi-def lumix which takes great jpgs and also video MTS files. After lots of searching on the net for the best way to get all this organised I am at a standstill. I feel that I need an external folder system (ie one that does not rely 100% on adobe and its categotries and tags) because I have had catastropic losses when using earlier photoshop progs. I also see the benefit of using tags. So...
    Is there a simple (and best) way to order my photos and hi-def video while taking into account content I already have shot/videod?  I am happy to hear reasons and see examples why I should trust PSE/Prem E - but I would also like to see if it makes sense to use folders. Ideally i would love a practical folder structuring method that incorporates both video and still content. I have posted here because it is important I organise my video better and have a flexible system that allows for drafts and reworking my Hi-def content.
    I have tried to find the info but it is so piecemeal and I have faith in the people on here ... Any links and advice would be much appreciated

    In generic terms there are three methods of filing just about anything:
    Structured by event
    Structured by type
    Unstructured
    Event might be occasion or date or a specific project. For this type of structure you would store all your assets related to that event, regardless of whether it is still, image or audio, in one place.
    Type would typically be by the type of asset. All your videos in one place, stills in another, audio in another  etc... In business for example in the eighties (when personal computing became prevalent in the workplace) staff would religiously have all their word processor documents in one place, spreadsheets in another, powerpoints in yet another etc.... Dreadfully inefficient.
    Unstructured would be a case of storing things wherever you liked and accessing them via tags or albums - but you've said you want to avoid this.
    Personally I let the application store things according to the defaults for the different import types but then tag them. Essentially I follow the 'unstructured' style. For anything major I create a project directory and move all the project assets into it (i.e. selective structure by event).
    If you search the Tips & Tricks forum I think Bill Hunt (who does this stuff for a living) describes his structured folder flow in great detail.

  • Creating folder Structure for Query based taxonomy

    Hello friends,
            I am confused as to where do I create a folder hierarchy for taxonomy. Do I need to create a new repository for creating a folder structure. The help.sap.com mentions about using the Category Browser iview for creating the same. I am unable to find this iview in EP6 SP12. Can someone, please guide me as to where do I create a taxonomy folder structure hierarchy?
    Your help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
      G.G

    Hey G.G.,
    Yes, i'd love to.
    So, as stated above, directly below the "Taxonomies" folder you'll see the names of the existing taxonomies. There is no "new" option on this level, because a new taxonomy can only be created under "System Administration" -> "System Configuration" -> "Knowledge Management" -> "Index Administration". After you create a "TREX Search and Classification" or "TREX Classification" index, you can go to the index menu "Taxonomies" and say "New". This will automatically create a new folder under in the "Taxonomies" view.
    Now, if you go one level further, so second subfolder under "Taxonomies" you should have the "New" option. If not, then you'll have to check the permission settings. Please go to "Content Administration" -> "KM Content" -> "Taxonomies" and then on the Menu "Details" -> "Settings" -> "Permissions". You might need to adjust permissions as suggested by SAP in SAPNote (599425):
    Role:"ContentManager"=FULL CONTROL;
    Group:"Everyone"=READ.
    Please check that the already existing subfolders have inherited the permission changes.
    Hope this solves your problem,
    Robert

  • Folder Structure Not Visible under Content Administration

    Hi,
    There could be only 2 problems when PCD objects are not being shown.
    1) You don't have the permission to view it. But since you are an administrator, you don't have to worry about it.
    2) The browser is unable to show the PCD objects.
    Now lets look at the solution:
    I had faced the same issues where when I tried to access the portal using IP address, PCD objects will not show. So the solution is to access the portal through its "name" rather than the IP address.
    I guess you would have tried to access the portal by its name, then you had faced an error in browser and so you are trying to access the portal by IP address.
    if this is true, make an entry in the hosts file in your local machine, mapping the IP address to the domain name.
    If you dont know how to do it, please follow the following:
    Goto the following folder in windows
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\
    You will find a file named hosts. Open it in notepad and give the IP address & domain name of the portal in the format specified there. Save the file. Now if you access the portal using its domain name, you should be able to see the PCD. If you are still not getting it, restart the machine and try once more. It should work.
    If you are using a Linux system, the file can be found under the \etc under the root folder.

  • Tools for customizing KM content

    Hi -
    I want to know what tools can be used to customize the display of KM content ?
    The following scenario is driving the requirement for a customized display of KM content:
    To the best of my knowledge, KM does not support versioning of documents which have been broadcasted via BW. However, my client has a requirement to store the history of broadcasted documents. By default, a broadcasted document will overwrite itself each time it is broadcasted to a KM folder. You can change this behavior by appending a timestamp to the broadcasted filename. However, the KM folder quickly becomes cluttered in a scenario where the KM folder contains many broadcasted reports, each with many different versions ( based on the timestamp ).
    My goal is to show the latest "version" of each document and give the user an option to view previous versions...but I'm not sure what the appropriate tool would be for iterating the contents of the folder and adding my own HTML.
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated !

    David,
    These are my thoughts to date.   I have been poking around to increase my understanding and as you have experienced, the integration does not have the smarts yet to deal with versioning which would involve post processing when the BW report is sent to KM i.e. KM would ask is this a new version or overwrite the old one, and that is where BW falls down.
    Therefore, a work around would be to set up a seperate repository and ICE the reports across to it.   ICE will handle versioning therefore if a new report comes in it should be versioned as the latest.   There are some tricky bits like clearing out the BW folder once it has been ICEd across but I will not know until I give it a go which is likey to be at least another month or so (the systems are still being built, we are in design mode).
    Anyway, I thought I would pass on the idea for you to either try it or it my spawn ideas of your own.

  • What should be directory structure for Custom MDS files?

    Hi,
    I have personalize a page and then exported the personalization.
    Now my requirment is to migrate this personalization to other server, for which clients want steps specific to UNIX.
    My doubt is where should I copy these files on the server to import the personalization using XMLImporter command? ( Client do not have JDev on his server, so can not use impot command)
    my custom_top structure is like '/u02/int/applmgr/CUSTOM/xbol/11.5.0'
    The customization is part of product 'OTA'
    I am confused about where to put(Directory structure on custom top) customization and other MDS file to import using XMLImport.
    This customization is also using a Custom LOV for which, I have given the path xbol/oracle/apps/ota/admin/enrollment/webui/XbolGradeRN.
    For now I have transfered the file from window based JDeveloper and things are working fine. I need the UNIX directory structure for MDS files.
    Please help to clear my this doubt.
    Regards,
    Adarsh

    There is nothing specific to UNIX since the files are never picked from the file system on a production instance. You can place them under a temp directory with the proper package structure, the same way you exported personalizations for the seeded pages and the same custom package structure for your new pages and run import command. It's only how you run your import command matters, if you have placed the files in the proper package under some temp directory just give the -rootdir to point to your temp directory and no -rootPackage option.

  • How to create new bol structure for custom ztable.

    Hi gurus,
    I am new to SAP CRM 2007. I have a requirement in which I need to create a view which will retreive data from my custom z table. But when you create a view , the wizard ask for Model nodes and, Bol entity, Bol relation etc. Kindly let me know what data I need to enter here so that I can relate to my custom table. I think I need to create a bol structure for my ztable. Kindly guide me in this regard.
    Thanks & Regards,
      Sanjay

    I would recommend to rather use an encapsulation of the ztable into BOL than just trying to work with value nodes because it heavily simplifies building of the UI and code to load, edit and save.
    In order to achieve this you would either have to build a genIL component and assign it to the BOL component set addressed in the runtime repository of the UI component to make it available on the UI layer.
    If your table is very simple and does not require relations etc. you might save some work using the approach via "Simple Objects" concept of BOL which provides a pretty generic impelmentation that requires much less code and deep understanding of the BOL/ genIL.
    Pleasse refer to the respective IMG node under
    Customer Relationship Management -> CRM Cross-Application Components -> Generic Interaction Layer/ Business Object Layer -> Component-specific Settings
    Hope this helps.

  • Folder Structures For Music

    Greetings Everyone,
    I have an iPod Classic (160gb) connecting to a Windows XP PRO machine.
    I understand how to sync music to the player.
    I understand how to create playlists in with iTunes.
    I understand how to create folders in iTunes to organize the playlists with.
    The format of the music file is when it is loaded into the iPod is not an issue.
    Here Is the problem:
    I have thousands of music files [MP3's] that I have sorted into well over 100+ folders.
    Normally, with any other MP3 player I could simply drag folders onto that MP3 Player and there they would be organized the way I want them.
    I wish to do the same with the iPod the only problem is that either the Intuitive people at Apple have made dragging and dropping folders into iTunes impossible [while maintaining the original folder structure] or I am just missing how to do it.
    For instance, when I drag three folders into iTunes instead of creating three folders with playlists in each folder iTunes simply merges all the songs into one list totally negating the point of a folder structure.
    Now, as I stated, I am fully aware of how to make the folder structure in iTunes myself, but I often add new songs and albums, and the thought of manually updating each individual folder every time I add new songs is tedious and depressing.
    I have looked the issue up and even tried many third party programs but none of them address the specific issue I have had. Most the searches result in "Xfer iPod files to PC" or vice versa, I have all the files on the PC and I can get them to the iPod, I simply want an easier way to put a folder structure into iTunes.
    Simply put, I want to be able to copy a folder from Windows into iTunes and have it create an iTunes Folder and a playlist rather than having to create the folder in iTunes myself, then dragging the songs into it to create a playlist.
    If there truly is no way to do this a concrete "not possible" answer would be appreciated.
    If there is a better forum for this question please advise and I will post it there.
    The iPod family is truly a fantastic product line with a great many features but something that is so simple with other MP3's is truly eluding me and I hope the answer is a simple on that I have well, simply missed.
    At this point I will even take a highly complicated How-To as I have no problem "jimmy-rigging" it to work if I knew how.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    iTunes doesn't care about or read any meaning into the folder structure. You can stop iTunes moving your files around by turning off *Keep the iTunes Media folder organised* in *Edit > Preferences > Advanced* but you probably know this already. There is no mechanism in iTunes itself to reveal the folder structure, or use it to create smart playlists. iTunes works with the tags. Put meaningful infomration in there and iTunes can be very powerful. It all depends on exactly what it is you want to achieve. If you can cope with a bit of programming it is possible to write scripts which could transfer the meaning from your folder structure into the tags in some format that iTunes could then use.

  • Aperture doesn't see proper iPhoto folder structure for Locating Referenced

    I've got some photos in Aperture 3.03 that were imported from an older version of iPhoto. I needed to reconnect the Aperture photos to the iPhoto originals, so I searched for the location of the photos with Spotlight, which found them in a folder in the iPhoto package.
    But when I select the preview photo in Aperture and go to Locate Referenced Files, I can see my iPhoto library, but when I go to look inside the iPhoto library, the folder structure is all wrong. Thus, I can't find my photo.
    What would cause Aperture to misread my folder structure? Is it using an old database of folder structure and how to I reset that database?

    Thanks for these two responses. I can see the photos fine with iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424).
    Right now, I'm backing up my Aperture vault before moving to Aperture 3.10. Hoping that will give me a chance to solve the problem.
