Configuring SSL for Real-Time Collaboration

Hi,
We installed OCS10gR1 because we want to use Real-Time collaboration for delivering support. At this moment we are trying to configure SSL. We already worked through the following guides :
- Real-time collaboration admin guide
- OCS admin guide
- OCS Security guide
- OPMN admin guide
but it's still very fuzzy. It's hard to get a clear overview about the steps to follow to get SSL working for RTC. Is there some kind of "cookbook" or simple guide which describes all the steps in a clear way.
Thank you

Hi,
I ran the SSLconfigTool.sh script on the Infrastructure with success but the midtierSSLConfigTool.sh script didn't come to an end. Probably, I ran the script with the wrong options. I used the following options :
<oid hostname> gary.woerden.centric (hostname on which ocs resides)
<oid port> 389 (default)
<oid admin dn> I filled in orcladmin, but maybe dn=woerden,dn=centric would be better ???
<http server SSL port> 8250 (from portlist.ini)
<https> internet_appserver_registry (I really didn't know what value this must be)
<hostname of the computer> gary.woerden.centric
<True | False> False
The output of the script midtierSSLConfigTool.sh with the options mentioned above:

Working Collaboratively Across Teams Scenario Installation Guide
1     Purpose
The purpose of this scenario is to provide an example of how SAP Enterprise Portal can enable your teams to work collaboratively within the same functional team, or across functional teams with the use of the Collaboration Launch Pad (CLP).
Following you will find the information on how you can install this scenario. The Scenario Installation Guide provides you with the information you need to set up your business scenario configuration.
Note that the installation documentation for SAP Best Practices business scenarios is structured on two levels:
     Scenario Installation Guide: one document for a business scenario
     Building Block Configuration Guide: one document for a building block, but several documents for a scenario installation
The Scenario Installation Guide is the backbone of the installation documentation and describes which building blocks you need to install for this scenario and prescribes the order you have to follow when you install them.
For the installation of each building block, you have to refer to the corresponding Building Block Configuration Guide where you can find detailed configuration procedures of this building block.
Always use the Scenario Installation Guide (this document) as the starting point for all your installation activities.
For a successful installation of the entire scenario, it is important:
     that you follow the structure in the Scenario Installation Guide from the first to the last installation activity
     that you carry out all installation activities of a building block before you start with the next building block.
2     Prerequisites
     You have a live SAP R/3 backend system.
     SAP GUI installed on your machine to use Win GUI iView.
     You have read the essential document, Building Block N00: Essential Information.
     You have the End User role (eu_role) assigned to your user.
Collaboration Launch Pad: Activate Link:
The Collaboration Launch Pad (CLP) allows portal users to manage their contacts and launch services for collaboration. Users click a link in the tool area of the portal header to launch the CLP.
If you want to display the link to launch the CLP in the portal header after installing the Collaboration component, you must activate it manually in the attributes for the tool area of the default framework page.
Procedure
1.     Open the portal in a browser and go to:
SAP Netweaver Portal     Content Administration ® Portal Content ® Portal Users ® Standard Portal Users ® Default Framework Page
2.     Double-click Default Framework Page.
3.     Select the Tool Area iView checkbox.
4.     Choose Open. The Property Editor page displays.

SAP delivers a default configuration for making services available in the following menus:
     Collaboration menu of the Collaboration Launch Pad (CLP) and the room member list
     Context menu for the displayed user names
Procedure
11.     For the preconfigured groups of services (command groups) to be available for users, you must assign them to the respective purpose (type) provided.
12.     Do the following steps and choose:
SAP Netweaver Portal     Content Administration ® Collaboration Content ® Collaboration Launch Pad Administration ® Command Group.
13.     Copy the existing command groups to your own namespace.
14.     Use the Duplicate function and save each command group with a different name. In this way, you prevent the command groups used from being overwritten during the next system upgrade.
15.     Make a note of the names( for example, clpGroup_2 and userGroup_2) that you have assigned for the command groups clpGroup and userGroup.
16.     Choose Type in the Left hand navigation Topics Area: Topics.
17.     Choose the clpType checkbox.
18.     Choose the Edit button.

Pxi 1042 configuration for Real-Time

I have purchased
PXI-1042
controller 8187
one module for data capturing.
I want to configure the said pxi for Real-Time purposes,
so what steps should I follow?
thanks
Abbas
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The Real-Time Deployment License is different from the LabVIEW RT module.
When you purchase a PXI controller, part of what you are buying is the operating system that is installed on it. If you purchased the controller with Windows on it then you purchased the copy of Windows that came with it. Now that you want to put the real-time operating system on it, you need to purchase the license for it.
But that's all legal stuff.
And you are correct that there is a copy of the RTOS on the controller. But if your controller has its disk formatted as NTFS you will not be able to use it. The RTOS requires that the hard drive be FAT32.
If your controller is FAT32 then you can boot into BIOS (hit delete while booting), and select Real-Time in the Boot Configuration to make your controller boot into Real-Time.
If you controller is not FAT32 then you will need to format the controller first, using the disks I have previously mentioned.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Real time collaboration issue after Kerberos authentication setup

Hi,
We are using SPNego (kerberos) authentication for our portal (EP 7.0 SP10). When user clicks on log off link, he comes back to the portal home page again so there is no way for the user to log off from the portal. I don't see this as a problem for the users who are not having access to collaboration. But for the users having access to collaboration, when they login to the portal second time (before expiry of the first login session which they couldn't close as log off is not working), they get warning stating
"You are logged to the same portal already. Real-time collaboration capabilities will not be available in the current portal session until you terminate the other session and then restart this one by refreshing the browser or logging on again."
How to resolve this?
Helpful answers will be rewarded

MAX support of SNTP for Real-time controllers

Hey everyone,
I have some PXI systems that allow me to enter a Time Server IP address directly into the MAX setup for the device but I have some other PXI chassis that don't. Does this have to do with the version of Real-time they are running? Can anyone tell me what version of RT and MAX started supporting Time Servers natively through MAX for real-time controllers?
Thanks,
Craig

Hi craige,
It looks like SNTP synchronization is not fully supported for PXI systems:
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Configuring-PXI-8184-controller-to-synchronize-to-SNTP-server/td-p/1...
However, for CompactRIO, synchronization with SNTP servers began with LabVIEW Real-Time 8.6:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/F2B057C72B537EA2862572D100646D43
The forum post I linked above does have some links to customer created examples relating to NTP and SNTP Time Servers.
Please note that those examples are both unsupported and a little bit on the older side.

Error in Real Time Collaboration

Hi
We got an issue in our project.
When ever any user log's into Portal it is giving a message called
With title Real-Time Collaboration(You are logged to the same portal already. Real-time collaboration capabilities will not be available in the current portal session until you terminate the other session and then restart this one by refreshing the browser or logging on again.)
We are using EP6 SP13
And we are having 2000 Portal users every one is getting this error in portal.
And After restarting the Server we are not getting that error. And again after a month it again starts.
Thanking you in advance for help
From
Srikanth

Hi Srikanth,
We also faced the same error and it was because the same users have already logged into the portal once or more than once.
The capabilities of real time collaboration feature might not work if an user has made multiple login to the portal using same id.
Hope the issue should be same with you.
With regards
Deepa
Plz reward points for helpful answers.

"Waiting for real-time target (RT PXI target) to respond" error when the program waits interrupts

Hi there,
I have developed an application to detect interrupts generated by a electronic card and act in consequence. The program has been developed in labview but it calls a dll; that was created with labwindows. The dll is programmed to open the visa communication, enable events and install the interrupt handler and when an interrupt is detected, it reads the value of the different registers of the card and returns it to labview to visualize them.
The problem is that when the program waits for an interrupt, a prompt appears with the message "Waiting for real-time target (RT PXI target) to respond" and the only option I have is to click on the button to disconnect from the pxi or just wait. If I wait and I generate an interrupt, the prompt disappears and the application visualize the data like it was expected.
To wait for the interrupt the following code has been programmed in the function:
while (flag == 0)
Sleep (1000);
When an interrupt occurs, the value of flag changes to 1 and the function continue without any problem. I am not really sure, but probably here is the problem and probably this is not the best way to wait for an interrupt because the sleep function suspends the thread for the configured time, but at least the computing load in the PXI is between 0% and 1%. I was wondering if somebody knows how to wait for an interrupt without "lost" the communication with the PXI and if there is a better way to do it.
Any answer will be welcome and thanks for them,
Jaime
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Naity,
First of all, in which thread runs the waiting process? Is it scheduled in another thread than the function setting the flag?
It scheduled in the same thread that I use to configure the communications and configure the card. Anyway, here is the pseudo code of the function interrupt that I programmed under labwindows,.
char* interrupt(void)
1. Open visa communications
2.Install handler interrupt --> status = viInstallHandler (instr, VI_EVENT_PXI_INTR, IntrHandler, VI_NULL); // the function IntrHandler will be called when an interrupt occurs
3. Enable event PXI interrupt
4. Wait
while (flag == 0)
Sleep (1000);
5. Visualize the data coming from the interrupt (registers and values measured with the card)
6. Uninstall handler interrupt
7. Close visa session
The interrupt handler function IntrHandler is called immediately when an interrupt occurs and the pseudo code is like this
ViStatus _VI_FUNCH IntrHandler(ViSession instr, ViEventType etype, ViEvent event, ViAddr userhandle)
1. Disable some functions of the card to avoid damages.
2. Read registers and put them in a buffer
3. Change the value of flag ---> flag = 1;
In labview, I call the function interrupt with a call library function node (see the capture attached) and the program reads and saves the data from returned from the function.
Secondly, I am not sure this method is the most elegant. You could for example register an event with the function and, insteand of setting a flag to 1, trigger the event and schedule it in another thread (if the function is thread safe). This could reduce your CPU Load even more and seem a bit cleaner to me.
I've never used events before in labwindows but I will try to do it in this way. But anyway, I suppose that I should; somehow, wait the event to occurs in labview while the waiting for the event is programmed inside the dll...and probably the same prompt that i am trying to avoid is going to appear again, because I am not returning the "control" to labview (I mean, labview executes the dll and waits for the event to occur. Then the execution of the labview program is stopped in the call library function node executing the dll)
Third point, which environment of development are you using?
I am working with LV 2010 sp1 and Labwindows cv 10.0.1 and with the real time module.
I did also another test, I divided the program in different functions, one to initialize the communication, another to wait until a interrupt has been detected and the other to obtain the data from the interrupt and close communications. With labview I call first with the call library function node the function to initialize, later I call inside a while loop the wait function like this
int waitAseconds (double seconds, short stop_waiting)
if(flag==1 || stop_waiting == 1)
flag = 1; //to detect the stop_waiting button
printf("flagAA =1 stop waiting = %d time = %d\n", stop_waiting, clock());
return flag;
else
SleepUS(seconds*1000000);
//a++;
printf("flag a= %d stop waiting = %d time = %d\n", flag, stop_waiting, clock());
return flag;
and when the program detects an interrupt, the function returns to labview the flag and stops the loop. Finally, it reads the values and close communications.
In this way, the prompt appears but after running the application for 10 or 20 minutes and also i checked that there is a time gap between the executions in the loop.
Thanks for your reply and your help,
Jaime
