Content selector rules and EBCC, wlps3.5

Hi
I'm working on the migration of our portal/commerce app to 3.5 and I'm
having trouble with EBCC.
This is a simple rule I want to migrate from 3.2 to 3.5 :
(Rule)
Name: RetailerTipOfTheWeek
Type: content.selector
ContentType: LoadedData
(When)
(Then)
(New)
ClassName: ContentQuery
CONTENT.language eq USER.b2boost.favorite_language
CONTENT.startDate lte now
CONTENT.endDate gt now
Its purpose is to return documents in the correct language and whith a
validity period (startdate and enddate) active. This allow us to have for
example a document visibile from August 1st to August 15th.
Using EBCC, I can't find a way to use "greater than" or "lesser than" on
date attributes of the LoadedData property set. It was possible with 3.2 so
I assume it's possible unless some features were taken away. Can you tell me
how to do this?
Thanks a lot!
Nicolas

Nicolas,
I'm not sure what you want to do.
I have attached an image which shows creating a content selector where
creationDate is between two times. This was created using WLP 7.0, but I
was under the impression that the code for displaying this dialog has
not changed. (I could be wrong though).
Thanks,
Jalpesh.

Drop Off Library and Content Organizer Rules allow bypassing of destination permissions

I had a test scenario where
User Betty didn’t have permissions to a destination library (only I had permissions to it)
Via the Content Organizer rule and the Drop Off library, Betty could send a document to a library where she didn’t have access.
Anyone addressing this issue and how? We just don't want people to be able to send things to a destination where they don't have access, but looks like the Content Organizer Rules impersonate some part of the move.
What's odd is you can see the "CreatedBy" as Betty, but she can't go to the library and even see the moved document...permission is denied.

Hi Bubberz1,
This is the known and documented behavior of the content organizer. To prevent someone from using the content organizer in this way, you'd need to prevent them from having access to add documents in the drop off library in the first place, or else
use some other process, such as workflows, to move the documents using the creator's permissions.

Programatically passing values to a content selector

HI,
Currently Iam manually providing values to a property while creating a content selector from BEA Workshop.
Please let me know whether it is possible to programmatically pass values to a property while creating a content selector from BEA Workshop.
Thanks and Regards

Hi
have you looked at pz:contentSelector tag , the query and appendQuery attribute?
query
Optional (String) - A content query string used to search for content. This query overrides any query that was defined for the Content Selector in the Content Selector designer.
Example:
query="cm_contentType contains 'text' && author='Salinger'".
appendQuery
Optional (String) - A content query string to append to the resulting content query from the rule. If the content selector rule conditions do not match, this value will be ignored. If this value starts || (two vertical bars), it will be logically OR'ed with the content query. If it starts with && (two ampersands), it will be logically AND'ed with the content query. If it doesn't start with || or &&, it will be logically AND'ed with the content query
You can also programmatically achieve what this tag does

Content Organizer Rule - route new doc to auto created folder

I have set up a content organizer rule and used the "Automatically create a folder for each unique value of a property:" Check box. The folders are created properly but I now want to set up a rule that will route documents
to folders that have been automatically created.
E.g. I have uploaded a document with a serial number of 100-150 and a folder has been automatically created.
Now the user uploads a document and identifies the serial number the document as 100-150, I would like to route this new document to the folder that has already been created.
Note: There will be numerous folders created as users upload new documents with new serial numbers, so creating a rule for everyone would not work.

Hi,
In edit Content Organizer rule page, I see there is an option as Automatically create a folder for each unique value of a property:
However, unlike the drop down used in the property based filters above, this drop down *only* contains properties that are required by your content type.
This is done to prevent adding folders that have no values for a property.
If you need to put similar documents to the same folder, you could consider making use of this feature.

SharePoint 2010 - Content Organizer Move and leave a link

Hi everyone,
We have activate Content Organizer on two Site collections, one name FromSC
(From Site Collection) and the other name ToSC (To Site Collection).
We have created a new "Send To Connections" with the Action "Move and leave a link"
The document is moved from the librairy in the site collection "FromSC" to the librairy in the site collection "ToSC" but we don't have any link in the librairy in the site collection "FromSC".
Anyone have the same problem?
Regards,
Social Technet Microsoft.

Hi,
Based on your description, I have done a test in my SharePoint 2010 and I re-appeared your issue.
I have followed the following article to create a new "Send To Connections" with the Action "Move and leave a link".
http://www.boostsolutions.com/blog/how-to-configure-send-to-connections-in-sharepoint-2010/
A link is created when I manually move the document to the Send To Connection.
But if I am using the rule "Content Organizer Rule" the link is not created.
Besides, I have created a new "Send To Connections" with the Action "copy" and I got the same results.
By testing, I came to the conclusion that it is by default that when we use the "Content Organizer Rule" and choose the target location with the screenshot, it just take the connection as a destination path rather than using its action.

Integration between contentselector rule in ebcc and Vignette - Third party cms..???

OK, this should be really basic, but I can't find the answer anywhere.
We wish to use the bea personalization server <pz:contentselector> tag so as to
display personalized data to the users.The content should be retrieved from the
third party content management system and we are using DocumentProvider for that.
The question is - Can we create a contentselector in ebcc which picks up the content
from the vignette(third party CMS). If yes,what are the configurations that need
to be done and how?
I have alraedy configured DocumentManager and DocumentConnectionPool entries to
be set to VignetteDocumentProvider in the meta-inf\application-config.xml.
The question is what configurations to be done so that I can create a contentselctor
rule in eBCC so that it picks up from JNDI i.e Third party CMS. I really need
an answer to this as soon as possible.Can anyone please help me out. Thanks a
LOT in advance.

Hi,
In the Oracle Manual "TEXT REFERENCE" there is in the addendum B a list of supported formats, I looked in 10.2 manual, there is no note of Outlook, if I look in 11.1 I see that Outlook is supported, see http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/text.111/b28304/afilsupt.htm. Also ZIP,DOC, XLS are mentioned with all the versions Oracle Text supports.

Is there a limit to the number of content selectors?

I'm on WebLogic 8.1.4.
I am using content selectors to pull metadata from Documentum, and I am currently experiencing 2 problems --
Problem 1) I can't seem to create subdirectories under \META-INF\data\contentselectors\GlobalContentSelectors\. If I do so, and create some content selectors under a subdirectory, it will not work. I would like to organize my content selectors into subfolders under the GlobalContentSelectors directory.
Problem 2) I have created about 22 content selectors under GlobalContentSelectors directory, and I can preview the results queried for each .sel file, under the "Content Preview" tab, either in WL Workshop or in the Portal Admin page. I.e., there are results returned for every content selector created. However, when I generate a portlet from the .sel file, and invoke the content selector in a .jsp file, the content selector returns 0 results. I've created a content query in the same jsp file with the exact same query as in the content selector, and that works fine in the jsp. Next, I tried deleting 21 of the content selectors, leaving the one content selector I was working with, restarted the server, and reloaded the jsp file, and this time it works. Then, I put back all 21 of the content selectors, and restarted the server, and it stopped working again. This is very bewildering. I see a stack trace in the logs, but I'm not sure if it is related (See below).
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!

I don't think it's an issue of file length, however, as a test you could revert to your previously working file and place all the new CSS in a new file, and see whether that makes any difference.
If you clear the error console and reload the page, do you get any unexpected style warnings? By unexpected, I mean things other than, for example, -webkit-transform is not recognized and is being dropped. Illogical messages can indicate an unnoticed typo.

Display PDF in JSP using a content selector

Hello,
We are running on WLP 8.1 sp4. We have documents (Word and PDF) stored in the Weblogic Portal content management system. We have made several tries, but are unsuccessful in rendering a PDF inside a JSP using Content Selector tags. We can get a link to display and other properties of the content type, but we have not been able to show the actual binary property of the PDF. Has anyone climbed this mountain before, any help will be greatly appreciated!
Rob
The following displays links to the documents, but not the actual document.
<pz:contentSelector rule="novel_flu_db_archived_reports"
id="fluArchiveQuery" />
<utility:notNull item="<%=fluArchiveQuery%>">
<utility:forEachInArray array="<%=fluArchiveQuery%>" id="docA" >
<cm:getProperty id="docA" name="file" conversionType="html" />
<ad:render id="docA" />
</utility:forEachInArray>
</utility:notNull>

Thank you for the response.
Option 1 - would be great, but I am having problems getting this to work (see thread "Problem accessing a file stored in the CMS from link on JSP")
Option 2 - I need to look into, as we need to be compliant with Accessibility standards and I can't remember if IFrames pose any problems for screen readers.
Option 3 - introduces an additional step to the work flow, we would like to avoid extra work (if possible)
In looking through the archives, there was mention of a "stand alone" JSP which was not under a Portlet or the Portal. The PDF was displayed in the stand alone JSP where the mime type was altered to PDF. Would this be an option?

Hi Sarah,
The load balancing mechanism for GSS requests is done via different methods. We can use these methods to define how the load is shared for different balance clauses within the same rule. The 6 methods we use are:
–round-robin—The GSS cycles through the list of answers that are available as requests are received. Each resource within an answer group is tried in turn. The GSS cycles through the list of answers, selecting the next answer in line for each request. This is the default.
eg: if we have 2 answers in answer group then GSS will provide them alternatively.
–least-loaded—The GSS selects an answer based on the load reported by each VIP in the answer group. The answer reporting the lightest load is chosen to respond to the request.The least-loaded option is available only for VIP-type answer groups that use a KAL-AP or Scripted keepalive, as they provide the GSS with detailed information on the SLB load and availability.
eg: if one answer has higher load than the other, than first answer will not be provided until its load goes down the other answers
–ordered—The GSS selects an answer from the list based on precedence; answers with a lower order number are tried first, while answers further down the list are tried only if preceding answers are unavailable to respond to the request.
for eg: answer with ordered number 1 will be provided first till it becomes unavailable. Once it is unavailable then answer with ordered list number 2 will be provided
–weighted-round-robin—The GSS cycles through the list of answers that are available as the requests are received, but sends requests to favored answers in a ratio determined by the weight value assigned to that resource.
eg: if one answer has more weight(80%) than the other answer(20%), then it will be used 8 times out of 10.
–hashed— When the GSS uses the hashed balance method, elements of the client's DNS proxy IP address and the requesting client's domain are extracted to create a unique value, referred to as a hash value. The unique hash value is attached to and used to identify a VIP that is chosen to serve the DNS query.
The use of hash values makes it possible to "stick" traffic from a particular requesting client to a specific VIP, ensuring that future requests from that client are routed to the same VIP. This type of continuity can be used to facilitate features, such as online shopping baskets, in which client-specific data is expected to persist even when client connectivity to a site is terminated or interrupted.
The GSS supports the following two hashed balance methods. You can apply one or both hashed balance methods to the specified answer group.
• By Source Address—The GSS selects the answer based on a hash value created from the source address of the request.
• By Domain Name—The GSS selects the answer based on a hash value created from the requested domain name.
for eg: a user using same source ip will get the same answer from GSS if we do source address hashing.
-DNS Race (Boomerang) Method-The GSS supports the DNS race (boomerang) method of proximity routing, which is a type of DNS resolution initiated by the GSS to load balance 2 to 20 sites.
The boomerang method is based on the concept that instantaneous proximity can be determined if a CRA within each data center sends an A-record (IP address) at the exact same time to the client's D-proxy. The DNS race method of DNS resolution gives all CRAs (Cisco content engines or content services switches) a chance at resolving a client request and allows for proximity to be determined without probing the client's D-proxy. The first A-record received by the D-proxy is, by default, considered to be the most proximate.
Use case is mainly with CRA's.
Hope this helps. Please feel free to revert if you have follow-up questions.
Thanks,
Swati

Corrupted Content Selectors

I recieved the following error after running a Content Selector - which causes
ALL of my Content Selectors to stop functioning - and NO content to render.
"'weblogic.kernel.Default'> <<anonymous>> <BEA1-1CBD107156D1> <BEA-401004> <An

Did you clone one of the .sel files without opening it in Workshop? This
is a known issue (CR106758 -
http://e-docs.bea.com/wlp/docs81/relnotes/relnotes.html#1067991).
This error will occur if 2 .sel files in
contentselectors/GlobalContentSelectors have the same
<cr:name>...</cr:name> value, since that is what the rules parser uses
to generate the internal rule representations (the file names don't
really matter to the parser).
Otherwise, I'm a bit stumped. Try refreshing and notifying all
repositories in the datasync webapp for the application and see if it
goes away.

Deploying Content Selectors

How do I deploy Content Selectors to a remote server. They do not seem to be packaged
into the EAR from Workshop. They do not show up on the WebLogic Portal Console
Admin by default - is there something else that I need to do?
- Thanks,
Noam

This has changed significantly since 7.0 from an EBCC based Datasync to a file
or database driven framework. A little background: In development mode, the
portal utilizes the XML files to describe Content Selection Queries within ".sel"
files stored within the META-INF\data\contentselectors\GlobalContentSelectors
directory. This is also the case when deployed in an exploded format. Once deployed
in a production mode as an EAR file, the Portal loads these files into the database
via the Datasync webapp at http://server:port/portalDomainDatasync/index.html.
There, options are provided to "bootstrap" the Master Data Repository and view
the resultant rulesets, as well as to merge and overwrite the files by uploading
a JAR to the server.

How get link value of content selector

Hi everybody
I have a content selector and I display the content like this:
<pz:contentSelector rule="selecContenido" id="nodes"/>
<utility:notNull item="${nodes}">
<ul>
<utility:forEachInArray array="${nodes}" id="node" type="com.bea.content.Node">
<li><cm:getProperty id="node" name="title"/></li>
<li><cm:getProperty id="node" name="cellphone"/></li>
</utility:forEachInArray>
</ul>
</utility:notNull>
the "cellphone" property is a link to another content, then when I see the result of JSP, I get something like that:
*this is the title
*/BEA Repository/6005
How can I get the values of "cellphone" content?
THANKS

Sorry Ryan, I'm not very sure if I understand well, but I don't know how can I get the id and use it to get link content values.
<utility:forEachInArray array="${nodes}" id="node" type="com.bea.content.Node">
<cm:getProperty id="node" name="title"/>
HERE IS THE PROBLEM ( I need use <cm:getProperty id="node" name="cellphone"/>)
<utility:forEachInArray array="${nodes}" id="node" type="com.bea.content.Node">
<cm:getProperty id="node" name="cellphone_name"/>
</utility:forEachInArray>
</utility:forEachInArray>
thanks

Unable to find Transfer Rules and Data Source for 0PERSON Info Source

Hi,
I'am working on SALES ANALYSIS Configuration with the help of SAP Best Practices.
I'am trying to load Master Data Attributes/Texts/Hierarchies.
I'am able to load for allmost all the InfoPackages which i created for particular DataSource.
Now i need to load master data for 0PERSON InfoObject under that Person (Attributes) and Person (texts) are there,for this 2 Transfer Rules and the DataSource has to be defined by default as it is defined for other Attributes/Texts/Hierarchies.But i'am unable to find a DataSource and Transfer Rules to create a infopackage for PERSON Attributes and Texts.
Please gudie me with a solution in order to get these Transfer Rules and DataSource for this Attributes and Texts.
With regards,
Pradeep.B

Hi,
Install the corresponding master data objects from Business content. Go to data source find out the needed datasource, replicate it. If you want you can migrate it also.
If still you are not getting 0person masterdata object datasource & transformation structure, then you have to create the transformation, Infopackage.
Hope if you will install the business content again, it will solve your problem.

Content Selector Results After Re-ordering the Content in Admin Console

Hi All,
I am working on weblogic portal 10.2 and MySQL 5.0
I have created 3 sample contents in portal admin console.
And I have re-ordered the contents as mentioned in documentation below.
http://e-docs.bea.com/wlp/docs102/cm/contentTypesCm.html#wp1096803
Once they are re-ordered , I can able to see the changed order in the table "cm_node"
But if I am trying to access those contents using content selectors, with the created type, those contents are not coming in changed order.
results of content selector is order of creation ,
pls suggest how to get the results of content selectors as per latest re-ordered content
