Creating File System Repository for a remote system

Hi Experts,
My requirement is that I need to create a KM repository in EP from where I need to upload documents into the BW system. Is File System Repository the right type of repository which I need to create for this purpose?
If yes, then in what format do I have to specify the value of the Root Directory property of the repository? I have a folder /data/docs created in the BW system within which I want to upload documents using this repository. But since this folder is located on the BW system which is a remote system for EP, I am not sure how I have to enter the path to this folder.
Can anyone give me any hints on this?
Warm Regards,
Saurabh

Hello Saurabh,
I don't think an FS repository is what you are looking for in this scenario, you could instead use a BI Repository Manager, for more information see:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/c1475079642ec5e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm

  • Unable to create File System Repository using Network Path

    Hi All,
    I am trying to create a File System Repository.
    I created a networkpath and windows system and used the same while creating File Repository according to the steps in help.
    With out using Networkpath(i.e.,If I use IP address,I am able to create File System Repository).
    But with the network path,it throws the following error as seen in Component Monitor.
    <b>Startup Error:    The localroot does not exist: C:\usr\sap\IGTE\j2ee\j2ee_00\cluster\server\NWP_001
    My network path is NWP_001
    </b>
    Did any one face this problem?
    Any help please........

    Hi,
    I am getting the same error even if I replace(\) by slashes(/).
    I tried on EP6SP12 as well as EP6SP2 and got the same error on both.
    The repository is searching for a folder named with
    n/w path on the portal server itself(i.e, it is searching in the following folder
    <b>C:\usr\sap\IGTE\j2ee\j2ee_00\cluster\server\NWP_001
    My network path is NWP_001</b>),instead of searching on the remote system.
    Can any one help me in solving the problem
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Unable to create File System Repository manager

    Hello,
    I would like to create File System Repository manager to this path: I have mapped a certain Network drive "
    main-uni-fs1\pictures$" to the Portal Machine and under this machine it appears as drive "N:\", inside it there is a picture folder which I would like to create the mapping to. I tried setting the "Root Directory" value to "N:\" and to "
    main-uni-fs1\pictures$" but I keep receiving an error message at the Repository Component Monitor (see below).
    10X,
    Roy

    Hello Roy,
    1> Create a new path that points to the pictures directory on the system. Enter the path lik
    mypc.myorg.com\pictures
    Under Sys admin -> Sys Config -> KM -> Content MGT -> Global Services -> Network path
    Under the user name and password, enter your username and password
    username whould be entered like domainname\username
    2>Then create a system in for the mypc.myorg.com server under
    Sys admin -> Sys Config -> KM -> Content MGT -> Global Services -> System landscape definitions -> System -> Windows Sytem.
    (Assuming u are acessing a windows sytem from a portal running on windows platform).
    You need to enter system id and description . Kindly remember the system id, since it would be useful in two places while usermapping and creating the file system repository.
    3>create a file system rep mgr under
    Sys admin -> Sys Config -> KM -> Content MGT -> Repository Managers > File System Repository
    Following properties are most important.
    Name , ACL manager cache, Security manager(which you would have to set to W2kSecurity manager)
    prefix(this is the folder name that you will identify your repository with) Widws landscape System (this is the sytem id of step 2) and root directory (network path of first step only in this case enter it like this //mypc.myorg.com/pictures)
    4>Then under user mapping section, you will find you system (the system id of second step) , enter your name as password.
    Initially when you configure your rep manager, you dont need to start ur servlet engine. If you modify any property then you need to re start ur servlet engine.
    These are the steps for creating repository
    If this still does not get resolved. Then kindly read the limitations of creating the file system repository manager in the link that I had posted in my earlier post.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Creating File System in SOLARIS

    Hi Everyone,
    We installed SOLARIS in SunFire server. There are 3 hard disks, namely, 0, 1 and 2. Default is zero. We formatted the disk 1 and 2 and now we're having problem creating a file system. Every time we log in to the server we automatically go to disk zero (0), which is the default. How can we create file system in disk 1 and 2?
    We'll appreciate your answers. thank you.

    newfs?
    I'm not sure what you mean with "we automatically go to disk zero..".
    > We'll appreciate your answers. thank you.
    I suggest you take a Solaris class; no offense but if you have no clue how to administer your operating system running a SAP installation on top can be very tedious.

  • Do we hav to create a separate repository for Designer Repository??

    Hi,
    The basic installation of OWB paris makes a repository owner and a repository user for you.
    This owner serves as the design repository owner as well as the runtime repository owner.
    For creating your mappings and deploying and executing them you just need to associate a target schema with the repository owner which you can do from the repository assistant from within the design center.
    I hope you are talking about OWB paris and I have been able to guess your question correctly.

  • Detect Files or Directories for a remote server

    Hi, I need to write an application to list the directories and files for a remote server, given a URL: http://<IP>/, the dirtectory tree looks like this:
    dir1/ subdir1/subsubdir1/files4
    files3
    subdir2/
    subdir3/
    files1
    files2
    I have some functions like changing directory (cd), return back (cd ..) etc. and open applications for files. My questions is .. how to detect whehter this is a directory or file (e.g. http://<IP>/dir1/subdir1 and http://<IP>/dir1/files1 ),
    also, if I am now at http://<IP>/dir1, how can I know that I am now at the top of the tree and need to lock the (cd ..) function?

    HTTP URLs don't have a directory structure, although the way they are formatted looks like they do. Also, HTTP requests will normally not return something that maps to a directory, but if it does you will get an HTML page listing things in the directory. (Most sites disable this function.)
    I think you should go back and review why you think you need this. If you're trying to write a web spider, for example, that isn't how you do it.

  • Create parameter in repository for modified date

    Hi all,
    I am new to designer.My client wants a report in repository to populate the modified date of forms and formsname.What parameter do i need to create to diplay the
    1) Name of form
    2) Form Name
    3) Modified date or Updated date of form
    Thanks for your help

    discoverer OLAP reporting is different from the relational reporting. You need to create these two attributes in your OLAP dimension to query on those attributes. The parameter to query the report should be created in the OLAP dimension not in the OLAP report.
    If you want I can explain in more detail but you should be familiar with discoverer olap reporting.
    Thanks

  • I need to create file on disk for a print shop.

    My four page newsletter is complete. It prints out fine as single 8 1/2 x 11 sheets. Now I need to create a file I can take to a print shop to be printed on an 11 x 17 sheet front and back. I can get my file to the 2 up configuration, but how do I position pages 4 and 1 on one side of the sheet and 2 and 3 on the other side so the newsletter will read correctly? Thanks.

  • File System Repository - User Mapping not Working

    Hi,
    I tried to integrate a file system into KM. For doing so, I followed the guide located at [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ed/b334ea02a2704388d1d2fc3e4298ad/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ed/b334ea02a2704388d1d2fc3e4298ad/frameset.htm].
    The only problem is, tht the user mapping doesn't seem to work...
    The portal is running on a UNIX system, whereas the file share to be integrated is running on a Windows 2003 Server.
    Here are the single steps that I performed:
    -  Creation of a KM Windows System in the system landscape directory with the ID "MySystem". User Mapping is set to "User,Admin"
    -  Creation of a Windows System in the system landscpe of the KM with the ID "MySystem"
    - Creation of a Network Path in KM with following settings:
    jCIFS Protocol is activated; Network Path = "
    My Server\My Share"; User = "My Windows Domain\My User" and the according password. The specified user has administration permissions on the server.
    - Creation of a readonly File System Repository Manager with following settings:
    Root-Directory = "
    My Server\My Share", SecurityManager = W2kSecurityManager, ACL Manager Cache = ca_rsrc_acl, Windows Landscape System = "MySystem"
    - Configuration of the W2KSecurityManager: I specified the DomainFile-setting as "/etc/companydomaincontrollers.txt"
      and placed such a file in the KM with following setting: "My.Server.Domain=According IP Adress"
    - In UME I carried out user mapping for index_service user and placed the above mentioned admin user into the user mapping.
    Result: The indexing works fine, all fles are indexed. When I however try to carry out a user mapping for a "normal" portal user in the UME it doesn't work: The portal user has no access to the file system. (I used the same admin user for mapping... so it should work).
    Any help is appreciated...
    P.S. With portal super admin users I can however access the fle system repository, even without user mapping. But I think this is ok, because I read in one forum message that admin users have always access in general....

    Hi Frank,
    thanks for your reply.
    I have as well definied an Alias Name with exactly the same id. So this gives us following:
    System landscape directory: KM Windows System with id="MySystem" and Alias="MySystem"
    KM System Landscape: Windows System with id="MySystem"
    In the created file system repository manager I also set "MySystem" for the Windows Landscape System parameter.
    So I think that this should be correct (I also considered upper- and lowercase letters).
    Maybe the probem lies in specifying the domain names? When I applied user mapping I always additionally specified the Windows domain name of the users, which is correct I think.
    In the security manager configuration for the domain controllers (-> [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/a9/c54e9e09448d46b73d154e93d5e995/content.htm]) I however mapped the network domain of the file share server to the according IP adress. Maybe this is wrong?
