Creating Custom Properties

Hello,
I have to create custom properties for a folder. I created it through Property metadata. But it is not reflecting in the folder properties. What should I do to reflect it in folder custom properties? Kindly help.
Regards,
Rukmani

Hi,
if your custom property is visible for resources and not for folders you should redefine the validity scope for that property - see <b>Folder Validity Patterns</b> in: <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1a/9a4a3b80f2ec40aa7456bc87a94259/content.htm">Predefined Properties</a>
If this is done and the property is not visible, you should add your property to a <b>Property Structure</b>. See <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3d/51812c9ba14f4fa104fe3971d5507b/frameset.htm">Property Structures</a> for more info.
Hope this helps,

Create custom properties in folder in KM

Hi to all,
In KM I have created a folder and now I need to create a custom field in setting - properties in this folder.
I go to System Administration - System configuration - Knowledge Management - Content management.
Now i go to Configuration - Component Management - Global service and I have created a Namespace, a Group and Properties.
I think that if I go to the Content administrator - KM content - go to my folder - Details - Settings - Properties, I should see the custom field but I don't see it.
Can anybody helps me?
Thanks a lot.

I have similar problem with custom properties for UME. I have added a property userdesig. I can see them in myprofile and user management in a separate tab 'Customized information'. I can also save data in this property.
The problem is when I go to 'Content administrator - KM content - go to my folder - Details - Settings - Properties' I am unable to see the Custom Field.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks
JPM

KM Task Scheduler: How to create custom/editable properties?

Dear All,
I created a KM Scheduler Task using the NDWS Wizard.
The application was successfully deployed and the task runs fine. However, I would like to define some custom properties that could be edited by using the portal, like the standard ones such as Priority, CM Systems, etc.
Is that possible?
I already tried to add it in the portalapp.xml, and also in the auto generated files that are in data and meta folders (..co.xml), but the new properties have not appeared in the screen.
Thanks in advance,
Marco

Hi Romano,
Thanks for the input.
Do you know in which of the .co.xml files should be added? There is one in "data" and another in "meta" folders.
The one in "data" folder (actually in one of the subfolders of "data folder") has the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Configurable configclass="domain.task">
<property name="name" value="domain.task" />
<property name="active" value="true" />
<property name="description" value="Task Test" />
</Configurable>
I added in this file a new property but no result.
The one in meta folder (also in a subfolder of it) has the following:
<ConfigClass name="domain.task" extends="SchedulerTask">
<attribute name="class" type="class" constant="domain.task"/>
</ConfigClass>
In this one when I tried to add a new property the task simple does not show, maybe I am not using the correct syntax.
Do you know in which of these files I should put the custom property and using which syntax?
Thanks in advance,
Marco

Can i view the custom properties created in Window Azure via signing in or without graph API

Hi,
I have a free window azure license and i am using Azure AD for authentication.
Now i want a custom property say "XYZ" in azure AD, My Questions are :
1. Can i create The Custom properties OOTB ?
2. How Can i mange them? Can i mange them from Azure interface or azure is providing any interface to manage them?
Thank You.

Greetings Shekhar,
If you create an extension attribute for an object using the Graph API, you can manage and view that attribute using the Graph API only. The extension attributes are not exposed in any of the Azure portals.
The only way to modify the attribute in the Azure Active Directory would be by using the Graph API. the Graph API samples provide information on both, creating an extension attribute and how to modify it.
Below is a link to the graph API samples on MSDN:

Creating Custom persisted properties?

Hi All,
As as read atg.adapter.gsa.GSAPropertyDescriptor class will be use to create custom persisted properties. Then what is difference b/w custom persisted property, that we creating using property-type = sub class of above class and simple property that is in any table?
Hint: custom persisted property is declared in .xml file outside of table just like transient property.
-RMishra

Hint: custom persisted property is declared in .xml file outside of table just like transient property.You can not have a persistent property outside <table>. If you do that your repository definition xml validation will fail during startup.
As as read atg.adapter.gsa.GSAPropertyDescriptor class will be use to create custom persisted properties. Then what is difference b/w custom persisted property, >that we creating using property-type = sub class of above class and simple property that is in any table?Any regular persistent property in your repository is going to be handled through GSAPropertyDescriptor or its sub-class. In case you specify property-type as a sub-class of GSAPropertyDescriptor, then in that case some additional methods like rawToReal() and realToRaw() come into picture while calling getPropertyValue() and setPropertyValue() respectively.
rawToReal() - converts from the database value to the property value as returned by RepositoryItem.getPropertyValue(). E.g. for a property that specifies a reference to another item, we can convert the ID stored in database of an item into the RepositoryItem itself to be returned from getPropertyValue().
realToRaw() - converts from the value given to setPropertyValue into the value given to which will actually be stored in the database. E.g. a property that specifies a reference to another item, we can convert from the RepositoryItem object passed in () to its ID.
The above default implementations are already provided in ATG Repository APIs and if you want to customize or change the default behavior then you can extend GSAPropertyDescriptor and define that class as property-type.
As Shaik mentioned, one GSAPropertyDescriptor customization is already there in form of EnumPropertyDescriptor which comes into picture for "enumerated" data types. It is done by not specifying the class name in property-type but through an indirect approach where a type name for a repository property can be registered with this method:
RepositoryPropertyDescriptor.registerPropertyDescriptorClass(String typeName, Class propertyDescriptorClass)
Hope it helps.

Retrieving empty values from multi value string in user profile custom properties

Hi,
I created a webpart to save and retrieve data from custom properties. I use the code below to get the stored data:
for (int i = 0; i < profile[property].Count; i++)
Item = profile[property][i] == null ? string.Empty : profile[property][i].ToString();
list.Add(Regex.Split(Item, @"\,\#"));
Nothinig special about it.
In my development environment, it works fine. The problem is in my UAT environment. I'm facing an issue that i hope someone has been through. When the custom property is a multi value string type, it returns a empty string. I tested with HTML and single
value fields and it works fine.
Independently of the field type, it saves the data all right.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!!

Thanks, Chitvan Jain.
I did as you suggested, but nothing changed. The problem is that profile[propname] comes already blank when using multi value property, even if there is data to be retrieved.
One funny thing is that, somehow the code manages to count the number of values there is in the property. Only the data is missing. We can see the exact number of column, cause i check if there's the right number of data, if there isn't, i add up a empty
string on the grid cell, but only for viewing. The empty string is not stored in the property.

Custom properties added by EWS not visible in Outlook

Hi all
I'm a first-time Exchange and Outlook addin developer and I'm stuck on a problem.
I'm working on a project where we use an Outlook 2003 addin that tags items; mail, appointments and tasks
with custom properties.
In Outlook we do this by adding the data as UserProperties.
After the items have been saved an onsave eventSink triggers on the Exchange 2007 mailbox server and using CDOEX, checks for the tags, collects some data and sends them to an web service wich stores the data on an AX server.
This works fine.
Then we want the AX server to be able to update and create new items back against exchange, and for this we use Exchange Web Services.
I've made an application that performs the operations agains EWS, and everything works smoothly except when we add the custom properties.
We add them as extendedproperties with the following code:
ExtendedPropertyType extendedProperty = new ExtendedPropertyType();
extendedProperty.ExtendedFieldURI = new PathToExtendedFieldType();
extendedProperty.ExtendedFieldURI.DistinguishedPropertySetId = DistinguishedPropertySetType.PublicStrings;
extendedProperty.ExtendedFieldURI.DistinguishedPropertySetIdSpecified = true;
extendedProperty.ExtendedFieldURI.PropertyName = propertyName;
extendedProperty.ExtendedFieldURI.PropertyType = MapiPropertyTypeType.String;
extendedProperty.Item = propertyValue;
This worked well for the eventSink, we found the fields and got the values just like we did for items tagged by the Outlook addin.
However, the Outlook Addin could not find them in the UserProperties object for the item, and Using Outlookspy I could plainly see that they were not present.
After a bunch of searching I found a thread on this forum that discussed adding custom properties as ExtendedPropertyTypes via EWS using a guid as a PropertySetType.
Here it is: http://forums.microsoft.com/technet/showpost.aspx?postid=1764780&siteid=17
I followed the instructions here, and now both the eventSink and Outlook are unable to find the properties.
My question is:
How can I apply my tags so both my Outlook addin and EWS can create, update and read them, as well as allowing the eventSink to easily read them?
The simplest way, I imagine, is if I could make Exchange Web Services place the properties in the "UserProperties" object.
I would greatly appreciate any help.
thanks
Ragnar Fatland

I first created an extended property:
ExtendedPropertyDefinitionepdGuid =
newExtendedPropertyDefinition(
DefaultExtendedPropertySet.PublicStrings,
"Guid",
MapiPropertyType.String);
Then I setup the service:
ExchangeServiceservice =
newExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2010_SP2);
Find all the items:
FindItemsResults<Item>
userItems = service.FindItems(newFolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox,
userMailbox),
newItemView(int.MaxValue,
0)
PropertySet =
newPropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties,
epdGuid)
Loop through the userItems:
foreach(varitem
inuserItems)
if(item
isEmailMessage)
EmailMessagemessage = item
asEmailMessage;
Do a message load with the PropertySet (if you don't do the PropertySet you won't see any extended properties):
message.Load(
newPropertySet(epdGuid));
Then you can loop through the extended properties:
foreach(varextendedProperty
inmessage.ExtendedProperties)
if(extendedProperty.PropertyDefinition.Name
== "Guid")

Error creating custom reports. Permissions issue with custom reports

I am having permission issues with reports. I am building a new Configuration Manager 2012 infrastructure and I have configured the Site server on Server1 and the DB is on Server2. Server2 also hosts the Reporting Point and SSRS roles/features. If
I look in Monitoring at the Site Status and Component Status are all green no issues with the setup.
Running SQL 2008 SP2 (no CUs). I have a service account that I used to install Configuration Manager and SQL. This service account is running the SQL service on Server2 and i am using the same account as the Reporting Services Point Account.
I log into the SCCM console with a different user account, lets call it Admin1. This account is a member of the Full Administrator role. I can run any built in report.
When I open the SSRS website and try to create a custom report I connect the DataSource using Windows Authentication. So the Datasource is connecting using the logged in users account. In this case Admin1. I test the connection and it connects fine.
I test this query. (Select * from v_R_System) I only have about 10 workstations discovered so the report shouldn’t be very big. I get an error “The Select permission was denied on the object ‘v_R_System’, Database ‘CM_XXX’, schema ‘dbo’. (Microsoft sql server,
Error: 229)”
I have fixed the SELECT permission error by going into the database (using SQL Management studio) and granting Admin1 Select rights to the Configuration Manager database. I can now run the above query and make custom reports.
My 2<sup>nd</sup> problem is that other members of the Full Administrator role cannot run these custom reports unless I go into the database and grant them the SELECT permission.
Question:
Should I have to manually go into the database to add SELECT permissions(i could use a group)? shouldnt Configuration Manager take care of this for me?
Maybe the built in reports use the SQL service account rights and the custom ones do not? Am I doing something wrong with the Datasource when I create these custom reports?
What is the correct process for creating custom reports?

I think i am getting closer to a solution. After the Custom report is created. i can go back into the report. Delete the DataSource. Then browse for a dataSource. there is a datasource located in http://server2/reportserver/ConfigMgr_XXX/
That datasource is used by all builtin reports. if you view the properties on the Credentials tab it is set to "do not use credentials" and the option is greyed out / cannot be changed.
it looks like i still need the SELECT permissions on the database to create the report initially but at least i have solved the problem with viewing these reports.
Can anyone confirm that what i did is correct?

Using SDK to create custom XMP panel in Bridge CS4

Using the SDK materials how exactly does one go about creating their own custom XMP panel for Bridge CS4?
I feel like I'm getting close- I was able to copy the BasicControlSamplePanel folder from SDK to my local C drive @
C:\Documents and Settings\tony\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels
I figure once that file is in the right place I can simply modify it to get custom fields
Now when I did this I noticed in Bridge when rightclicked on an image and clicked file info- the BasicControlSamplePanel tab was visible but upon clicking on BasicControlSamplePanel tab there was nothing in this dialogue box. Tried restarting computer- and still nothing- seems like it is the correct folder what do I need to do to get the properties to show up
Help please
Thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,
please refer to the section "Creating custom XMP properties using XML" in the XMP FILEINFO SDK PROGRAMMER’S GUIDE for information how to create custom panels for the metadata panels in applications like Bridge or Premiere.

Powershell Script to create "custom" Document Library

I have a powershell script which creates a Document Library for every user in AD.
This works, but rather than using the default Document Library I want it use a custom Document Library. However this isnt working.
My script to create the default Document Library is this...
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load("Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c")
$site = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite("http://servername/sitename");
$siteweb = $site.OpenWeb();
$webs = $siteweb.Webs;
$strFilter = "(&(objectCategory=User)(name=accountname))"
$objDomain = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry
$objSearcher = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher
$objSearcher.SearchRoot = $objDomain
$objSearcher.PageSize = 1000
$objSearcher.Filter = $strFilter
$objSearcher.SearchScope = "Subtree"
$colProplist = "samaccountname"
foreach ($i in $colPropList){$objSearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add($i)}
$colResults = $objSearcher.FindAll()
foreach ($objResult in $colResults)
$objItem = $objResult.Properties; $objItem.samaccountname
$listTemplate = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListTemplateType]::DocumentLibrary
$listId = $siteweb.Lists.Add($objItem.samaccountname, "", $listtemplate);
$list = $siteweb.Lists.GetList($listId, $true);
$roleDef = $siteweb.RoleDefinitions.GetByType("Contributor");
$user = "domain\" + $objItem.samaccountname;
$rolAssign = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPRoleAssignment($user, "email", "name", "notes");
$rolAssign.RoleDefinitionBindings.Add($roleDef);
if(!$list.HasUniqueRoleAssignments)
{$list.BreakRoleInheritance($true);}
for ($i = $list.roleAssignments.Count - 1; $i -gt -1; $i--)
{ $list.RoleAssignments.Remove($i) }
$list.RoleAssignments.Add($rolAssign);
$list.Update();
Now I have a custom Document Library named "TESTLIB" so if I substitute the line:
$listTemplate = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListTemplateType]::DocumentLibrary
with
$listTemplate = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListTemplateType]::TESTLIB
Then it errors with this...

Add custom properties to People Search Results

Good morning,
I am trying to include some custom properties to our Search Results. These are the steps I have followed so far:
Create User Profile Service Property and sync to AD. The property is populated for different users.
Run full crawl
Create managed property on the Schema, and map this to the crawled property
Created a new version of the Item_Person.html template and changed its title.
Upload to the Display Templates gallery, and created a new Result Type with this as its template
Added the new property to the mso:ManagedPropertyMapping tag
Went to Search Result Types, and selected "Update" on the Property Sync alert
On the new template, the new property appears on the object ctx.CurrentItem, but its value is null.
Am I missing something? Tried running full crawl and incremental crawl. Even tried removing the index first.

Hi,
Please try to add custom properties using Central Admin.
I find a thread with the same question, check this:

How to access custom properties on JavaBean DC attributes

I created a DC from a Java class and defined some custom properties on one of its attributes. How can I access these custom properties through EL? I don't see the custom properties in the Expression Builder.

Hey Frank
Sorry for the sparse description. By custom properties I mean the ones you can add through the "Custom Properties" tab in the same editor that also lets you edit the UI Hints. This is the editor that opens when you try to edit an accessor on a data control from the DataControls.dcx viewer. In my case, I have a TestDC data control that exposes an "employees" collection of type Employee. Employee has the attributes "startDate", "name", and "age" which are of type java.util.Date, java.lang.String, and java.lang.Integer, respectively. In the DataControls editor, I select the "employees" accessor and click on the pencil icon. This opens the editor for the Employee.xml file (root element is PDefViewObject, always appears in a persdef package). From the Overview, click on Attributes, and you'll see the Custom Properties tab below the list of attributes. I added some properties here for one of the attributes but I don't know how these are supposed to be accessed through EL.
Here are two screenshots in case my written description sounds confusing.

Combo box in "Filter by Custom Properties"

Hi to all,
I create some custom metadata properties properties in order to classifie the documents in KM.
This metadata properties has a set of Allowed Values, so the value is selectable with a combo-box in Detail box of KM.
Now I have to enable the Filter by Custom Properties with the combobox in place of textfields.
How to do?
Regards,
Giampaolo

What you want is not the Filter by Custom Properties but the Filter by Predefined Properties.
In you search options configuration add your properties to the predefined properties list and you'll get your combo-box.
To configure your search options go to:
System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management -> User Interface -> Search -> Search Options Set
