Content mirroring

Dear Guru's
I have a question about content mirroring versus copy/paste with delta links.
Currently we have used the content delivered by SAP and copy/paste it to new folders. We have not used content mirroring for modification of the content.
What will be the impact if we import a new BP ? Will all modifications be lost ?
Kind regards,

Hi Stephan,
Check out the following link for a comparision between Content mirrorring and Copy/Paste as Delta link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/ed/fd25c7c14c4094a9fbb19851d79dd1/frameset.htm
In case of Copy/Paste as Delta link, when the Business Package is updated by SAP, since the source object of your content is updated, the properties except the ones that are not inherited from the source object might get effected if you have not assigned the content into your own namespace. Make sure that you have copied the Contents into a root folder that you have created for the customer to ensure that you dont face any issues during upgrades.
Kind Regards,

Content Mirroring with WebDynpro ESS

Hi,
I created the ECC5 ESS package in my clients namespace. using Content Mirroring (this works nicely).
BUT the ESS role's Area/Group Area pages configed in the IMG still point to the standard installed ESS package. ie I nav to my ESS role click
Is there a tool simliar to Content Mirroring for the IMG to create all the necessary entries to match my new name space?
What is (current) best practice for webdynpro ESS? Can anyone point me to any docs? I've checked out the help but not seen anything to date...
Thanx

Content Mirroring - as good as useless?

hi,
Controversial subject hopfully attracts smoe attention....
Implementing ESS and used content mirroring to move the Employee Self Folder and all content into my client namespace.....at first site this is great. We have a delta linked copies of the SAP standard that we can alter as required without affecting SAP standard itself....
BUT....the content mirroring only changes the top level IDs....so the Worksets in the new client namespace have pages that delta link straight back to the SAP namespace pages rather than to the new client namesspace pages that were created by the Content Mirror....
Anyone understand what I'm getting at? Is there a way to mirror content fully into a new namespace so it relates to itself rather than straight back tio the SAP standard content (that we don't to change as it will get overwritten in upgrade)....
TIA

Portal Content Copy Folder Error

Hi,
In Portal Content Admin, the folders Key Account Manager & CRM are provided by business package and located under Content Provided by SAP -> specialist.
When these folders are copied to another folder for further customization, Key Account Manager is copied successfully but for CRM, following error message is shown:
Copy: CRM
Error
Source object not found. It may have been deleted.
Then, I tried to copy CRM's subfolder. Small folders (packages, pages, roles, templates) completed successfuly but the complicated folders (iViews & Worksets) failed with the same error message.
Although I can try to copy the sub-folders one by one, it is too tedious & error-prone.
How can the CRM folder be copied completed?
Regards,
Tony

The reason for the error is still unknown.
By the way, with the help of Content Mirroring, this error is not an issue for me anymore. Using Content Mirroring instead of Copy & Paste is also suggested by SAP document: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/ed/fd25c7c14c4094a9fbb19851d79dd1/content.htm

How to create an Iview in BI 7.0?

Hi Experts,
i want to create iviews in Bi 7.0 but can not find how to do that.
I n the older version i could create a query and said save als Iview.
Could you please explain the steps.
1. how to create
2. where to store
3. How to open
4 How to publish in portal or to open als URL?
Many Thanky for the Informations
Cheers
Gilo

Hi Gilo,
In iView defines the integrated view,which is going to give all integrated sourcesystems information to portal.
The Portal Content Studio provides a framework for creating iViews in 3 ways.
1.iView wizards
2.Copy&Paste actions
3.Content mirroring tools.
Creating iView Instances Using Copy-Paste
Use
You can instantaneously create new iViews without a wizard (see Object Creation Wizards) by copying existing iView instances using the portal's Copy, Paste, and Paste as Delta Link actions.
Both paste actions (Paste and Paste as Delta Link) create new iViews that are delta links instances; however, the relation of the new object to the one being copied differs. This difference is illustrated in the figure below.
■ The Content Mirroring tool can also be used to duplicate content. Delta links are generated between the original and copied objects. See Content Mirroring.
■ To view the delta link source objects and dependents of an object, use the delta link tracer. See Tracing Delta Link Dependencies.
Procedure
You use the Copy with the Paste and Paste as Delta Link actions with iViews just as you would other object types in the Portal Catalog.
For general usage instructions and a description of the commands, see Copying an Object or Folder (Copy & Paste).
As the first step you have to navigate to the right Portal Content folder, where you want to add the BI report as Portal iView.
Then you have to create a new iView using the context menu: New -> iView
Now you see the iView Wizard. In the first step you have to choose iView template create an iView from an existing iView template as source type.
In the next step you have to choose the iView template BEx Web Application iView.
Then you have to provide an ID (technical name of the Portal Content iView), a description, the iView ID Prefix and the master language of the iView.
Then you have to choose the version of the BEx Web Application. If you created the Web Template using the Web Application Designer based on SAP BW 2.x/3.x, you have to choose the appropriate option. If you have created the Web Template using the new Web Application Designer based on SAP NetWeaver 2004s, you have to choose the option SAP NetWeaver BI 7.x
In the next step you have to type in a prefix (depending on the version of the BEx Web Application) and the technical name of the Web Template. If you have used the SAP BW 2.x/3.x Web Application Designer version you have to use the prefix TEMPLATE_ID=. If you have used the Web Application Designer based on SAP NetWeaver BI 7.x, you have to use the prefix TEMPLATE= (e.g. TEMPLATE=MYTEMPLATE_ID).
In the last wizard step you can check your entries, you have made before. You can also set the flag Open for editing, when wizard completes. Then you can directly work on the BI iView to do some further adjustments.
After pressing the Finish-button in the iView wizard the iView properties show up. There you can select the property category Appearance Size. For the property Height Type you should select Automatic in order to avoid scroll bars on the portal page later on. Save your settings and close your BI iView
In the next step you want to add your newly created BI iView to a page. Therefore you have to first navigate to the page you want to add the new iView (or you can create a new page). Then you have to open the page via the context menu &#56256;&#56518; Open &#56256;&#56518; Object
To add the iView to the page you have to navigate again to the newly created iView. Via context menu you can add now the iView to the page: Right-mouse click on the iView &#56256;&#56518; Add iView to page &#56256;&#56518; Deltalink. Afterwards you save the page.
Finally you can do a preview to have a look at your new BI iView that is integrated into the portal page. Depending on the result you can adjust the page layout.
As a result you will see the BI iView on your portal page.
Before you can create a BI iView in the Enterprise Portal, the system connection and the alias of the BI system has to be defined. This can be done in the System Administration of the Portal &#56256;&#56518; System Configuration &#56256;&#56518; System Landscape
Also the user mapping to the BI system has to be maintained (in order to use single-sign on). This can be done in the user administration &#56256;&#56518; Identity Management

Time Machine fails to backup home space.

Summary:
I've been having problems with Time Machine since I enabled it. For some reason it refuses to backup any file in my account (/Users/ritchiem/). I have spoken with the an Apple 'Genius' and they were dumb founded. So I ask here in the hope that someone has had this issue occur and know what the cause is and how to fix it. I'm not really looking for work-arounds, though I will cover that later.
*Problem Description:*
A new 500GB external drive was erased and formatted HFS+ Journaled.
TimeMachine was then opened and enabled on this drive.
Back Up Now was selected and left to run assuming it would take a while on the 500Gb internal drive that had a around 200Gi-250Gi of used.
It ran successfully.
When entering TimeMachine, history shows the top level drive and navigating down the Users folder shows only my 'test' user account. My user account 'ritchiem' is not listed.
There was no error presented from Time Machine an the System Preferences panel reported it was successful.
Console.logs shows that backup was performed successfully.
Steps already taken to address issue:
I have verified/repaired permissions on my boot drive, a few files were changed but none in /Users/ritchiem
I have deleted the Time Machine preferences: /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
I have tried a second external hard drive, in this case it was more interesting:
It was reported as being to small to perform the backup. So I added some exclusions such as my large iTunes library.
This allowed the Time Machine to proceed but again there was no backup performed of any file in home space.
This is where I thought I must be doing something wrong and went to the Apple Store the genius tried all the usual suspects, permissions, preferences. But no success.
It was only then that one of his colleagues picked up on discussion that it was only my user that was being skipped and suggested the risky move of renaming my user. He showed me the 'Advanced' panel in the Account System Preferences. (I never realised you could use a nice gui to do the renaming of a user in all the right Apple places.)
So I swapped users and renamed my account, and moved my home space to a new user name. mv /Users/ritchiem /Users/martin
I then logged back in to my account to verify the rename all worked and it had.
_*Time Machine now worked!*_
HOWEVER, that is a total hack. I use the username 'ritchiem' all across my local network and it was not recommended to have a user ritchiem but a home space in /Users/martin.
I renamed my account back to 'ritchiem' and Time Machine again is blocking backups of /Users/ritchiem
Somewhere on my drive there MUST be an exclusion that is preventing the first user that I created on my 2008 MacBook from being backed up. So far my grep-ing of the filesystem for 'ritchiem' has not shown any likely suspects. If anyone here knows where the mystic plist/file is that I need to zap then that would be great.
If of course you have another work-around that does not require me to rename either my account or my home space then that would be great.
Oh and I also tried to trick TimeMachine by creating a symbolic link in /Users to my home space (ln -s /Users/ritchiem /Users/martin). It resolves the link and refuses to backup the contents of my home space just as before.
Please remember here that in all backups that Time Machine performed there was no error, console.log and the UI all report success.
Now if I had a new blank machine and some time I could test out the theory that it is always the first user of a freshly installed machine. However, if other people have it working then it is perhaps not that simple.
TIA
Martin

Thank you for all your advice and suggestions. Apologies for the delay I had difficulty locating my original install DVDs.
Summary
I have performed all the steps and checked items as requested however backups are still not including my home space (/Users/ritchiem)
What I do find interesting is the output of the TimeMachine backup log (at the very end of this VERY long post) which states that 84.8 GB should be backed up but only 24.3 GB is actually backed up.
Would love to know why TM decided 60.5GB of data should not be backed up but not explained in any of the log files and a successful backup reported.
Before I go on to the details of what i've done, I should also mention in case it is important that I have of course been logged in with my user (ritchiem) whilst performing all of these backups. I assume that is normal and that you shouldn't have to log out for TM to actually backup your data. To verify this previously I have logged out user ritchiem and logged in as a test account. The path /Users/ritchiem still failed to backup. I have not tried this recently, however, I would be really surprised if you had to log out of your user account for the data to be backed up.
Detail
So to answer V.K. first: My drive did indeed have some items that it said I should repair. Hence the search for the install DVDs. I ran the Disk Utility from the Leopard installer and it repaired the drive. The verify now runs green.
As I had just rebooted the machine and it was all fresh I repeated Pondini's previous steps as well.
* Disabled TM
* Exited System Preferences
* Deleted /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
I then also deleted the Backups.backupdb from my external drive so everything was fresh and new. I would have just formatted it (which would have been waaay faster, but I have some copies as backups on there for now.)
I started the TM prefs panel and added a few items to the disabled list to a) speed up the backup but also b) I have a 320g internal drive and only a 250g external. My total disk usage is 288 which won't fit, especially with the breathing space TM likes to have.
Here is the data from console.log from the first two backup runs:

What I find interesting is that only it only copied '191916 files (24.3 GB)' It said it was going to backup '103.06 GB requested (including padding)'.
As requested here is the hidden .exclude.plist file, I printed the contents using the Terminal rather than TinkerTool.

*Other Steps*
Whilst running TM I also setup dtrace to log every file open: (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20071031121823710)
Looking for any files in my home space that it might have opened returned none:
ramaII:~ ritchiem$ grep "/Users/ritchiem" tm.dtrace |grep "entry backupd" |wc -l
0
Yet looking for all the files backed up from the /Users directory there were 458!
ramaII:~ ritchiem$ grep "/Users/" tm.dtrace |grep "entry backupd" |wc -l
458
Dtrace also highlights the files that backupd uses unfortuately the only files it opened before it started its backup were:
0 17720 open:entry backupd /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
0 17720 open:entry backupd /var/db/.TimeMachine.Cookie
0 18506 open_nocancel:entry backupd /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd.bundle/Contents/Res
ources/StdExclusions.plist
The only file on that list I haven't seen mentioned before is the StdExclusions but I'm sure that is the same on everyone's machines... just incase though:

*Next Steps*
I've been thinking about what i could try next and not having many ideas. So I'm really hoping someone here will have a flash of inspiration.
If I find some time at the weekend then I will try renaming my account again and verifying that it does backup under a new name.
Just incase there is something odd about the first user account created, i.e. UID:501 I will make a new 'ritchiem' account (which will have the next UID, UID:504) and see if that gets backed up, I can try this while my current account has been renamed. If that does work then I can copy my files back in to that account and verify it isn't something in my home directory that is upsetting TM. Although I doubt this is the case as it never read any files from home space during the backup process.
Here's hoping there is something in the above logs etc, that give a clue to what might be going wrong.
Cheers

Edit MSS 60.1 iView

Hi,
EP: 6.0 SP14
SAP: 4.70 X200
MSS : 60.1
I need to make a couple of changes to the standard worksets. NWDI is not configured. So can I simply install NWDS and make the required changes to these iViews by importing the PAR files and adjusting them, or is there something else to be done? I have read something about using Content Mirroring here but not sure if I need to use it before updating the source files. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks and regards

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Can you please highlight why I'd need PDK? I have seen quite a few posts on this forum but none have mentioned about PDK so far. The procedure mentioned so far is to simply download the PAR file from Portal, Import into NWDS, adjust the application, and upload back into portal. Please correct me if I am wrong. What is PDK giving??? Wouldnt the application compile without it? Is there anything else to consider such as deployment descriptors???

Error when copying the folder Manager Self-Service in the portal

Good Night.
I am implementing Employee Self-Service and Manager Self-Service
For ESS i did the following:
1. I created a new folder for my project.
2. I copied Employee Self-Service folder from the standard part into my folder.
3. I deleted the pages and worksets that not needed
4. I did the config in the backend and put the pcd in the backend config for it to be displaying the content.
And for MSS I wanted to do the same steps:
But the system display the following message of error:
Error
Source object not found. It may have been deleted.
[Error|http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/0524ec1cc5.jpg]
The steps that i did are:
Portal Content==>Content Provided by SAP==>line_manager=>Right Click -->Copy.
And in the new folder --> Right Click -->Paste.
How can solve this issue?
Kind Regards

Force language for one specifc business package only

Dear collegues,
we have the requirement to force the language for one specific business package only. Other business packages should remain with multiple languages. So therefore I cannot force the language by user. I can force the language by i-view but that doesn't change the top level navigation. I cannot force it by workset or role.
Any clue wether this is possible and how it could be done?
Best regards
Tim

Hi,
I would say that manual actions is the only way to do it...
What I would do is:
1. Multiple Property replacement (Portal funtionality) on all object in the BP structure
2. Manual set the language on the remaining objects
if that not works then as last resort you could...
3. remove all languages that you do not want to use via, the PCDinspector
Please not that its not best practice to change parameters on the main objects of a BP as updating the BP can result in overwriting your custom set proerties. It's alwayt better to make Deltalink copies first.
SAP propagates the "content mirroring" functionality for it but I'm not a personal fan of it as it sets the inheritance of nested object not the way you would expect.
Good luck!

Role Migration EP60 NW04

Hello,
its mybe an easy question, but i dont find an answer in the manual :-(.
i would upload some SAP BW roles to the Enterprise Portal.
In EP 5.0 i know there was a tool named "Role Migration".
So i search this forum where this is located now.
All Postings say that there mus be an entry under "System Administration - Transport"
But in my Portal there isnt only:
Export
Import
Upload von Content und Aktionen
Unification-Synchronisation
Does anybody know where i can find the "Role Upload"?
Best Regards,
Patrick

hi John,
it is very strange :-/.
I take a look in an other NW04 SP9 Portal and it has your entrys. My Portal didnt have this. I have the Super Administrator role assigned.
Never seen this before that an menu entry are lost.

Patrick

Local mcm network/ Storage; adding files to MCM via USB

Am planning the set up of my MCM. Currently use 2 WIN8.1 pc's with all files except o/s and programs on an external 1tb HDD via 3.0 USB device connected to one of the pc's, accessible via WINDOWS network. I think the MCM eliminates an issue, my Windows network files are only accessible when both pc's are "on". The router is not built for easy file local network type access. Since I wish to use MCM in RAID 1 with drive one as my " main storage", and drive 2 as mirror, can I simply attach my external HDD with all my files to the MCM and transfer same to MCM? Or would it be better to leave all files on the external HDD (but connect the external HDD to the USB 3.0 on the back of MCM) and let MCM do the rest. My reasoning is that the HDD of any pc ought only contain o/s and programs. And most importantly, be accessible to me from anywhere. Thoughts?

If you attach your USB drive to the MCM, then it will appear as another share (basically if you connect to the MCM via the Windows network, it will look like another folder on the MCM). However drives connected by USB are not part of any RAID set-up on the MCM, they are just simple extensions of the storage space available and served up. There is no "do the rest" involved, the MCM will just make the drive accessible on your network as-is. So if you want the files kept safe from drive failure, then you need to copy them onto the internal drives (in RAID1, the pair will appear as a single drive with the content mirrored on both). You can do this most easily by doing the USB connection onto the MCM and then using the web file viewer app in the MCM dashboard to move (or copy if you prefer) the files from the USB drive to the MCM internal ones. That is the fastest way, as it keeps all transfers within the two units. If you do it via a computer connected to the MCM over the network, then the files will have to go via that computer which slows everything to a crawl (especially if said computer is on wifi). If I was you, I would put the files onto the MCM, and if you're being paranoid keep a third copy on the USB drive which you update from the MCM master periodically (and probably keep that drive disconnected and in a fire-safe or similar when not in use) if the data is mission-critical. And accessible to anywhere will be as standard on your local network (the MCM will just appear as another computer/location on your Windows network, with its shares as sub-folders from it), and from anywhere at all if you enable the cloud access and set your travelling devices up appropriately with the relevant WD apps.

FPN (Federated Portal) and WPC (Web Page Composer)

Hi all,
We implemented various web sites based on WPC (Web Page Composer) and now we need to federate this instance with other consumer nodes.
I read on SAP 880842 note that it's not possible to federate WPC.
Is there any options to federate sites developed in WPC?
What can I do in this scenario?
Thanks!

Thanks again Marcus.
But we can't use this option because we'll loose the WPC structure... It will need to be rebuild all site navigations...
We are working now with WPC content mirror (copying content from one server to another).
But we still need some help. We need to automatic copy KM content. Can you help us in this case too?

What is the Creative Cloud Files (archived) folder for?

I see its content mirrors the same stuff that's currently in my Creative Cloud Files folder on my Mac finder.

This effectively a back up of your Creative Cloud folder if you uninstall and re install Creative Cloud. The Creative Cloud folder is not deleted during an uninstall to preserve your data.

How can I remove users assignments on role import?

Hello,
I am importing a role that aleady exists in the portal in order to change some of it's assignments. Overwrite is also checked.
The problem is that if I want to add something to the existing role it is updating but if I want to remove something it is not. For example, I am overwriting a role which has users assigned to it and I would like to remove these assignments at the new import.
I tried importing it without user= like this:
[role]
rid= myRID
rdesc= myDesc
group= myGroups
And also with user= only, like this:
[role]
rid= myRID
user=
rdesc= myDesc
group= myGroups
Yet the users are still assigned to the role.
Of course I can manually remove the users from the role using the Identity management options but the thing is that I have more than 100 roles that I need to remove the assignments from them and I don't want to do it manually.

Hi Roy,
you are partly right. In case of content mirroring the new role would be a delta link to the old role. I assume that when you delete the old role the connection to the original objects will be broken. There is a nice comparison of copy/paste and content mirroring in the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/ed/fd25c7c14c4094a9fbb19851d79dd1/frameset.htm">SAP Library</a>.
However, keep in mind that you could always re-create the role manually.
Alternatively you could have a look into the How To Guide regarding the<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/93/28f999daa6434a845da6bf9ab5072c/frameset.htm">XML Content and Actions</a> upload. It sounds promising.
You will find the How To Guide located at service.sap.com/nw-howtoguides => Portal, KM and Collaboration => Portal.
Best regards,
Martin
