Content Server 6.40 Presents a Save As dialog for ContentServer.dll file

hi All
we have installed successfully the content server 6.40 on a windows 2008 with iis 7 environment. The installation wen successfully with no errors. however when we run a test by calling the URL http://<server>:<port>/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo URL, instead of getting a response, we are getting a save as file dialog to save the dll file. Also, after the installation, even with the install website tick checked, the website was not installed. we had to do the installation of the website manually for the port.
With content server 620 on windows 2000 this was never the case
if anywone has an idea on how to resolve the issue, please advice
Regards
Ronny

GOT the Solution
to anyone else who could be going through the same issue, see if the solution below solves your issue
The website should get created if all the roles in IIS 7.0 are installed. Therefore, please try to install the IIS 7.0 by selecting
all the roles followed by installation of the SAP Content Server. By doing so, websites should be created automatically.
In the IIS 7.0, all the roles are not selected during the installation by default. Please make sure all the below roles are included and IIS 7.0 is installed, as per the installation manual for the Content Server on Windows 2008:
Roles needed in IIS 7.0.

Filename in Save As dialog when saving PDF file

I have a web site serving up PDF files. Without going into details, the URLs of the PDFs are not just your basic URL but look simething like this:
http://www.domain.com/WorkFlowApp/Clients/demo1/secure/Promo%20Cover%20Cool-MedH i.pdf?userId=55b64ad5-28a2-490e-b3d6-4944099a390f#collab=CollabService@http://ww w.domain.com/ICCollab/IC_Service.asmx?WSDL
In this case the actual filename is "Promo Cover Cool-MedHi.pdf"
While viewing in Safari (OS X), if the user saves the PDF to their local machine, the Save As dialog comes up and the filename field is automatically populated. The problem is, instead of using just the filename, the field contains this:
http---www.domain.com-WorkFlowApp-Clients-demo1-secure-Promo%20Cover%20Cool-MedH i.pdf?userId=55b64ad5-28a2-490e-b3d6-4944099a390f#collab=CollabService@http---ww w.domain.com-ICCollab-IC_Service.asmx?WSDL
I know when performing the same action on Windows using Internet Explorer, the Save As dialog box filename field is populated correctly with just the filename (although it shows up URL encoded as Promo%20Cover%20Cool-MedHi.pdf, which is OK).
I'd like to be able to force Safari to use just the filename in the Save As dialog box. Has anyone come accross this problem and figured out a solution?

Hello Ebnul.nao

Display save as dialog when downloading a file

Hi,
I want to display a save as dialog when the user downloads a file.
Now I get a dialog where the user can choose to open or save it.
I set these headers:
res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filnamn);
res.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/force-download");Thanks!

Sorry!
When the user downloads a file I want to open a dialog where the user
can write a filename and then click Save to save the file.
Today I get a dialog where the user first have to choose if he wants to open or save the file.
When he clicks save then the dialog appears that I would want to be displayed.
I hope this clearifies my question.

Prompting a "Save As" dialog for an accepted mime type

Hi ,
I am using the following code to prompt a "Save As" dialog bod for an xls file:
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename=test.xls");
This does work, it prompts the save as dialog box with the name "test.xls" if i click on save. However if i click on open, it displays an error saying the file could not be found.
Any idea how to specify a custom file name for an accepted mime type?
Thanks in advance

Ok let me try & be more clear.
I have a JSP page. In this page there is an "Create Excel" link. When this link is clicked, the JSP dynamically creates the data. Then the following code:
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename=test.xls");
This causes the file save dialog box to be created. This dialog box has "open" & "save" options.
When the save option is clicked, the user is prompted to save a file named test.xls. However if the user clicks on the "Open" dialog box, then the file is not opened,i get an error message saying the file does not exist.
If i dont specify the
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename=test.xls");
Then the file save dialog box displays a default filename which is the same as name of my servlet. This works for both Open as well as save options.
I hope i have not confused you further..:)
Please help!

Content Server - Delete Item Presentation Template code?

I know the code to create a content item:<pcs:value expr='pcs_location'></pcs:value>/published_tools/content_item.jsp?fid=" + detFolderId + "&det=(data entry template name)
And to edit a content item:<pcs:value expr='pcs_location'></pcs:value>/published_tools/content_item.jsp?ciid=<pcs:value expr='item.pcs_id'></pcs:value>
But what about deleting a content item?
Thanks! Tim Halbach Stiefel Laboratories

I was wondering, did you find out if this is possible. We are trying to do this. as well. We have been able to setup the Editing from the Portlet level, but haven't found a way to handle deletes.

Why Open / Save dialog for a download file does not work in IE

Hi
have a problem of opening the file downloaded in IE. However I am able to save it to my desktop and open it. I am not able to directly open it when I click on OPEN button.
when I do some research, I have found that the file is getting saved at . C:\Documents and Settings\skadiy000\Local Settings\Temp
where as IE 6.x is looking at .. C:\Documents and Settings\skadiy000\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\some new folder
Working well with Firefox 3.x.
I am using Spring 2.5 with Spring WebFlow 2.0.3 and JExcel.
Appreciate inputs.
Thanks in advance

Hello Patrick,
I've used the file browse item in the IE6 environment in the past, and I'm using it today with IE7, without any problems, so I don't think this is an IE bug. I also don't think it has anything to do with the popup blocker, as the save window is a modal one, and not a popup.
I can't think, right now, of any specific security parameter that will prevent the opening of the save window, but if the other computers you tried this page on, are all connected to the same network (for example) I would start looking there.

Arie.

How to save .JPEG Image on SAP CONTENT SERVER?

Hi,
 I am working on online interactive form where i am getting scanned signature as .JPEG image that i want to store on SAP CONTENT SERVER. I am using webdynpro abap tool for application developement .
 Please guide me . Thanks in advance,
Saurin Shah

Hi
You can do it but there is one very critical exception to do it depending on the Webserver that you are using :
1. Is you are using Sunone Webserver then you cannot install multiple instances of CS on the same webserver instance.
And if using IIS then the only thing that you need to do on the webserver front is to restart the Webserver after the second instance is installed so that the webserver picks up the config entries made for the second instance's install.
With Apache webserver you will have make the entry in the httpd.conf for the second instance as you had done for the first instance
Eg for this is :
This is my first instance:
LoadModule IdcApacheAuth "D:/oracle/ucm/cs2/shared/os/win32/lib/IdcApache22Auth.dll"
IdcUserDB cs2 "D:/oracle/ucm/cs2/data/users/userdb.txt"
Alias /cs2 "D:/oracle/ucm/cs2/weblayout"
<Location /cs2>
 Allow from all
 Order allow,deny
 DirectoryIndex portal.htm
 IdcSecurity cs2
</Location>
This is my second instance:
LoadModule IdcApacheAuth D:/oracle/ucm/idc1/shared/os/win32/lib/IdcApache22Auth.dll
IdcUserDB idc1 "D:/oracle/ucm/idc1/data/users/userdb.txt"
Alias /idc1 "D:/oracle/ucm/idc1/weblayout"
<Location /idc1>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

IdcSecurity idc1

Hope this helps

Content Server not working correctly

Hello,
I am having problems with my Tandberg Content Server. For several years, we have used the Tandberg Content Server (TCS) in combination with our Tandberg Management Server (TMS) to schedule and record video conferences. I schedule 60 video conferences a week to roughly 20 rooms, using the TMS. Of these, about 14 video conferences per week are recorded.
Originally, I only had one recording alias on the TCS set up, and it worked fine. But I recently added a second recording alias, due to the growing number of requests for recordings of the video conferences. It seemed to go okay.
Now, however, the Content Server isn't working quite right. It will record two different video conferences at the same time, but once it's finished encoding them, the link that you get to send to people is messed up: often (but not always) the link merges two seperate video conferences together in one video. Two one-hour video conferences will be merged together in one two-hour recorded conference.
The problem only occurs with video conferences that occur at the same time. Strangely, if I search the Content Server's F drive, under Data/Media, the recordings are all there, and they are seperate. They are only joined together on the Content Server link.
I have made sure that we are indeed recording on seperate recording aliases.
Because the videos in the Data/Media bin are always labled something like O1110292903-0593923929.wmv, I can use guesswork to reconstruct a valid URL to get a working link, but it's a lot of extra work: I want to be able to log in to the Content Server admin interface and be able to send someone a link in a few minutes.
Any ideas on what's going wrong? I created a trouble ticket with Cisco earlier in the week, but have not heard back from Cisco tech support, so I thought I'd open it to the Cisco community.

HI Ron. Good morning. Since our webex the last time, I do believe we can use participant templates in the mean time until we find out whats going on when using TMS this way. When using the recording drop down and all the systems aren't registered to Gatekeeper seems to be the trigger here, but to get you running, this is what I propose we try and do here.
You may have to purge the Content Server out of TMS so TMS doesn't "know" about the IP address of the Content Server.
You will have to examine your routing and preferred MCU in routing here, and make the two changes:
Administrative Tools>Configuration>Conference Settings. All the way at the bottom you will see:
I had to change this to Always and Preferred MCU type in routing to MPS. This is logical since this is the only MCU you have and you need the MCU in each booking (from my understanding of what you said during the webex).
So:
1) Jot down all the conferences that have the Content Server involved, and remove the recording from each conference.
2) Purge the Content Server from TMS.
3) Add participant template with just the IP address of the content server: Booking>Participant Templates and build one like shown below. The number field should be the address of the content server and IP zone should be IP zone for your system.
Go ahead and save the template.
Make booking with this template and another endpoint (don't add the MPS since it should automatically). Check the connection settings and the MPS should be call the IP of the TCS and the other endpoint.
Click Save conference.
If the conference saves ok, build another with a different room and same template again, and click save conference.
The caveat is that when calling the IP of the TCS, the TCS will use what you have configured as the default recording template under Configuration>Site Settings
Just choose which one you want to use all the time if you can.
The way it shows on the TCS is:

Content server for Document attachment through "services for object" Icon.

Guys,
I have typical problem in installation of Content server for storing external documents.
We all know that we can attach the document in SAP using the icon SERVICES FOR OBJECT. By this we can attach the document to the specific object we want.
-Since my client wants only document attachment method not to completely implement SAP DMS, I proposed this method of attaching documents through services for object method.
-If documents are stored though services for object ,The attached document will directly get stored in sap database(correct me if I am wrong) while in DMS it ask you to select the storage location while u check in for any document
-By storing the doc thru "services for object " For long run when we store the documents in sap database our system will drastically get slow down.
-In this regard I have a plan to incorporate external storage server.
-Now I should know that how I should customize content server configuration so that the attachment through services for object will store into this content server I need to know how to define Client, Content Category, Content Repository, Document Area, Physical Machine, IP Address, Port. (OACT & OAC0)
I appreciate for immediate solution and Points will be rewarded for sure.
Regards,
Murali.S

Hi Murali,
Don't Worry, its possible,
All attachments can be stored in SAP Content Server also, but through archiving process.
Set up a database storage system.
Preparation
Make sure that the HTTP plugin is active.
Transaction SMICM, "Display Services" function key (shift F1)). The list of services must contain a port other than 0 for HTTP.If not, you must adjust the relevant profile parameter.
Typical entry:
icm/server_port_0 PROT=HTTP, PORT=1080, TIMEOUT=900
Make sure that the /sap/bc/contentserver service is active.
If no user is defined, then use transaction SU01 to create a new user. Use the "System" user type.Assign
the SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW profiles to the user. (Eg: HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER etc)
Transaction SICF, select: default_host - sap - bc -contentserver. Select the function to display/change the service. Make sure that a user is defined.
Using the relevant data from the newly created user, maintain the anonymous logon data for the
/default_host/sap/bc/ service and save & activate the changes in transaction SICF. Double click on content server and give the user name which has been created (HRUSER/PLMUSER/PPUSER/MMUSER etc)
Check the system PSE.
Start transaction STRUST. Expand the system PSE. The system PSE must be "green" for each application
server.
Determine a suitable exchange directory.
The exchange directory must be accessible from each application server. If all application servers are running on the same platform (for example, Windows), one network directory that is accessible on all application server (for example,
server\share) is sufficient. You can generally use the global directory
(profile parameter DIR_GLOBAL).You can use the RSPARAM report to determine the profile parameters.
Setting up the storage
Create a table for storing the data. Using transaction SE11, create a copy of the SDOKCONT1
table. If you want to create the repository database, you can name the table ZCONT_DB, for example. Save the
table as a local object. Activate the table.
Create a repository.
Use transaction OAC0 to create a new repository.
Use the following parameters:
Repository Max. two characters, for example, Z1
DocArea: ARCHLINK
Storage type: R/3 database
Storage subtype: normal
Version no. : 0046
Contents table <table name> for example: ZCONT_DB
Exchange directory <directory name> for example:
server\share\
Make sure that the exchange list ends with a \ (or /on Unix).If you are using a variety of platforms, you must use transaction FILE to define a suitable logical file name and use this name. Save the settings.
1. Maintain view table TOAAR_C, via SM31
 Cross client table displayed as information, forget it
2. In field 'StSytm' you must entered 'Z1' as your system need, or anything that you need but you must configure HR Archive link too.
3. In field 'Arch.path' (direct above Spoolpath), entered path in your system, this real path in your operating system. May be you should confirm to your Basis consultant where exactly you could store picture files. So if you enter '/', your file exists at root directory at your UNIX system.
4. Choose 'File store' radio button
5. Save.
First
1. You have to create a number range for SAP ArchiveLink.
 IMG: Basis Components-> Basis Services -> SAP ArchiveLink -> Basic Settings-> Maintain number ranges
 (Trxn OANR). Create number range 01 from 0000000001 to 9999999999 without the external number flag.
2. Document type HRICOLFOTO must exist with document class JPG.
 IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->System Settings->Maintain document types
 (Table TOAVE, Trxn OAC2).
3. Document type HRICOLFOTO must be linked to object type PREL and Infotype PA0002.
 IMG: Personnel Management->Personnel Administration->Tools->Optical archiving->Set up Optical Archiving
 in HR. (View V_T585O, no Trxn). In the first two columns there are minuses, the third (Date) has
 a plus - don't put a flag in the check box.
4. Check which content repository (Archive) is linked to document type HRICOLFOTO and object type
 PREL. IMG: Basis Components->Basis Services->SAP ArchiveLink->Basic Settings->Maintain Links (Table
 TOAOM_C, Trxn).
Test
Test the repository.
Use transaction SE38 to start the RSCMSTH0 report. Specify your repository (i.e. Z1) and start the test.
The report must run without errors. If no problems occurred, you can use the new repository with Archive Link after you carry out the Archive Link Customizing. If problems do occur, check whether one of the related
notes helps.
For More Details :
http://service.sap.com/archivelink.

NOTE:- Screen Shots are missing, i was not able to paste here, One more thing is we did this for uploading a PHOTOS into Content Server, Similarly you have to create a REPOSITORY and Z-TABLE to bring all the Attachments from all the selected Objects and then route them to the CONTENT REPOSITORY.
Your Senior ABAP guy would help you in this, if not i may try to help you more by monday.

Diff. between content server and archive server(SARA on content server)

I am very interested about difference between content server and archive server. Is there content server supplied by SAP and archive server by third party producers or something else?
If so dditionally what needs to be done to archive data (via Sara) on content server. I did it on sap R/3 4.0 on an archive server. Is it huge difference to do it on 4.7x2 on content server?

Hey,
The content server is used to save documents,
and SARA (and other third party producers) are used to archive old data.
For example:
You should use Content server - When you need to save un-structured data about worker (e.g: pictures, documents and etc) .
You should use SARA (and other third parties) - When you need to move to archive old
worker which have left your organization before 5 or more years (there for they are not relevant for you)
Here is some more information about Content server
from help.sap.com:
"Therefore, besides the SAP database, an external content server is always available in every SAP system installation. In this way, the necessary technical infrastructure is provided for all document-centric applications and business scenarios that do not require a long-term archiving solution"
Here is some more information about SARA and archiving
from help.sap.com:
"Data Archiving removes from the database application data from closed business transactions that are no longer relevant for the operational business. The archived data is stored in archive files that can be accessed by the system in read-only mode."

FileName from the Content Server

Hi All ,
I need to show the FileName of a File uploaded into SAP Content Server .
Example if I upload fiel ABC.pdf I should be able to get the name "ABC.pdf" form content server
is there any FM available ?
Note : While storing the file into content server it is creating the unique ID(system generated GUID) for each uploaded File.
Using this ID I am able to show the contents of file using FileDownload but the label I need to show as the FileName and
not the ID.
Regards,
Ravi

I am having this problem as well, with IE5.0 as well as IE5.5 on Windows 2000. I have tried the above suggestion and that doesnt seem to work. I have also tried to use a
Content-Disposition of "inline" to just view
the document and that seems to work incorrectly too; an IE dialog comes up
asking to open/save the download JSP.
I have tried loads of variations and based
my code on Marks stuff posted in this group
e.g. renderContent.
Any more suggestions/work arounds?

Using SAP Content Server for SAP E-Recruitment

Hi SAP Experts,
We are presently implementing SAP E-Recruitment using BSP services, We are successfully runnig with Whole E-recruitng cycle when we use SAP system DB as storgae for External Candidtes' Documents.
But, Our Client wants to have SAP Content Server to store all documents uploaded by External/Internal Candidates becuase client is worrying that if SAP system DB holds such huge data base of Resumes, it may slow down the performance of SAP System.
So, We need inputs from you suggesting whether is it feasible to use SAP Content server for SAP E-Recruitment Implementation. SAP no where suggests to Content server. So, we are in deliema to go for content server or not. If it is feasible to use Content server, pls provide me proper links or documents for reference.
Please give your valuable inputs,
Thanks & Regards,
Sudheer Kumar P

Hi Sudheer,
We are considering the same option. We are concerned about performance after all these documents are uploaded too. Did you install a content server? How did it go and was it difficult to set up with e-rec?
Thanks

View contents of SAP Content Server

Hi all,
We have successfully installed and configured SAP Content Server - the storage system is database. From a separate test system, we use archivelink to send an image to the content server. As per the logs, the image was successfully sent to the content server. Is there any method we can use to check whether the image is indeed stored on the content server? We use Database Studio to do administration on the MaxDB database of the content server but it does not provide any facility for viewing the contents. Please suggest how can the image or any other data be viewed.
regards.

Hi Gagan,
Thanks for your reply. Your suggestion will indeed confirm whether the image is present on the content server or not. However, I want to know whether there's some way we can 'see' the image on the content server. I downloaded another tool called SQL Studio. There you can browse the tables/indexes/synonyms, run queries etc but I'm not able to know which are the relevant tables I need to look into. There should be a table that must be keeping the image or at least a record concerning the image.
Any other suggestion.....
regards

Test content server connection doesn't work

Hello,
I have installed Content Server 6.40 in windows2008 and the test connection does not work. The URL http://onecsrdev:1090/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo
says
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.
I loof for the contentserver.dll file and it does not exist in the server. When I installed the content server I mark the flag install website, so I don't understand what the problem is.
I have updated the MAXDB software to 7.6.06.11 because the DVD installation release is not valid for windows2008. SAP has guided me through this issue.
Thanks and best regards,
Ana

You get a connection to "onecsrdev"? Can internet explorer resolve the name? Proxies activated?

DMS Document Storage in External Content Server

Dear All,
We are working on a DMS scenario, where we need to store the document in an external content server, and not in SAP DB. We are evaluating the solutions around the content server, and we see that SAP provides a HTTP Interface to SAP Content Server, and this interface can be configured through OAC0 and OACT, and managed through CSADMIN. Now, a set of questions:
1. If we intend to use SAP Content Server, do we need to purchase additional license for it? Our understanding is that the software is delivered with SAP Installation DVD, and as such no licensing charges are required.
2. If we DO NOT intend to use SAP Content Server, and rather use an external content server (Possibly utilizing the File System at the OS level as a repository), how will the configuration of OAC0 and OACT look like in such a case? We definitely can not use HTTP Content Server as storage type, How will the entries be organized in this case?
Has anyone worked on a scenario like this? It will be really nice if you can share your experience and expertise in this regard.
Awaiting replies.
Thanks and Sincere Regards,
Sid

Hi Ravindra,
Thanks for the clarification. Do I understand correctly that, for a external content server (without an installation of SAP Content Server) also, we need to specify the storage type as HTTP Content Server ? But in such a case, how will the work processes be handled? As I understand, SAP Content Server engine will handle the incoming/outgoing requests through a Web Server. So, don't we need a similar arrangement for an external content server also? In that case, will the connection parameters be for a HTTP Content Server or for RFC Archive, where we can specify a RFC Destination of type G and connect through it?
Thanks and Regards,
Sid
