Custom portal step-by-step problem

Hello,
I am trying to go through the Custom portal step-by-step provided in Chapter 5 of the Weblogic Commerce Server Developers guide. I am at the stage where I am trying to replace the images that are being used (logo.gif and logo_small.gif). Despite my best efforts I have yet to see the new logos I created. I emtied the cache in the browser I was using; I used a completely different browser. The only thing I can determine is that the server has a version cached somewhere and is not reloading the page. I have tried restarting the server and that also fails to work. I have renamed the original files so that if the server was reloading them it would not find them, but the page loaded as before. I am using Weblogic Application server 5.1.0 with service pack 6, and Weblogic Commerce Server 3.1.1 with service pack 1. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Ted

Hi Ted,
This sounds like your changing some other files, than the files that is
actually being used.
I think that the example portal is deployed as a an archived webApp (war
file). In that case the files that the server uses is in the "portal.war"
file.
Check your "weblogic.properties" for a line like:
weblogic.httpd.webApp.portal=c:/WebLogicCommerceServer3.1/server/webapps/ex
amples/portal/portal.war
If you want to change the files used by the example portal you can unpack
(using a zip or jar program) the war file to a directory and deploy that
directory. You do deploy the directory by changing the line in the property
file to something like:
weblogic.httpd.webApp.portal=e:/WebLogicCommerceServer3.1/server/webapps/ex
ampleportal/
Where exampleportal is the directory you unpacked the war file to. The
directory should have an immediate subdirectory called WEB-INF.
You can now change the files in the unpacked directory structure.
You need to restart the server after the change in the the property file.

Customizing the Wiki sidebar step by step

I'm having severe problems with my Wiki-setup. Frankly the worst Apple-experience in my entire life. When I'm done with this thread, I'm certain that a lot of other people will have an easier time configuring a custom sidebar in their own Wiki. At the moment, I'm lost.
*Apple has posted this: "Extending your wiki server"*
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/ExtendingYour_WikiServer.pdf
Which has a chapter on page 18-23 that takes ut step by step towards a custom wiki sidebar.
This guide is poorly written and takes an abstract approach towards helping the user, in this case, poor me. To summarize:
As far as I know, the relevant files are stored at
*/Library/Application\ Support/Apple/WikiServer*
(themes, wikicontent and such)
And some files at
/Library/WebServer/Documents
(index file that points towards the correct wiki-dir)
*------ QUOTE: ------*
Creating Sidebars
If you haven’t created a sidebar before, it might be easier to customize an example
sidebar to suit your needs.
In the wireframe theme’s theme.plist file, there is a sidebars section that contains an
array of sidebars you can customize:
<key>sidebars</key>
<array>
<dict>
sidebar keys and values
</dict>
<dict>
sidebar keys and values
</dict>
</array>
*------ END QUOTE: ------*
*I assume...*
That "the wireframe themes theme.plist file" is this file:
/Library/Application Support/Apple/WikiServer/Themes/wireframe.wikitheme
Later down, at page 23, there is a part named *Using the Example Sidebars*
*------ QUOTE: ------*
The wireframe theme’s theme.plist file includes several sidebar examples. All of these
examples are commented out by default. You’ll need to remove the comments marks if
you want to use the example sidebars as custom sidebars. If you don’t add any custom
sidebars, the default sidebars are used. If you use at least one custom sidebar, the
default sidebars don’t appear.
Consider commenting out all sidebars you don’t want to use, and leaving
uncommented all sidebars you want to use. Doing this allows you to choose which
sidebars you want and allows you to easily change sidebar settings later on. To do this,
you must start a comment before the <dict> tag for a sidebar, and end the comment
after the </dict> tag for that sidebar.
*------ END QUOTE: ------*
Do I understand this right? I may just edit this file and it will show up on all my Wiki's? What if I want different sidebars on my different Wiki's? Guess different sidebars should be an easy thing to fix, so I doubt the change is made in this file - which gets me thinking, why do I need to edit this file at all? Well.. Let's do it anyway:
*The original file: /Library/Application Support/Apple/WikiServer/Themes/wireframe.wikitheme/themes.plist*
*------ QUOTE: ------*
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

OK, so I'll edit the file according to the manual. 1: Remove the comment marks because I want to use the exampe sidebars as custom sidebars. And add a custom sidebar so that the default sidebar will not appear.
*Edited version example, according to documentation of file: /Library/Application Support/Apple/WikiServer/Themes/wireframe.wikitheme/themes.plist*

Then, to make the changes take effect, I use this command re restart the service:
sudo serveradmin stop teams; sudo serveradmin start teams;
I launched Safari and check the website. Theese changes had NO effect on either of the Wiki's. Which is actually a good result because I want to controll this for each wiki. But there is no documentation about how to do this
Back to the drawingboard....
Well, since I should be able to to control this separately for each wiki maybe I should try to edit the theme.plist file located inside one of the specific themes? Such as one of theese, located at /Library/Application Support/Apple/WikiServer/Themes/
block.green.banner.wikitheme obsidian.blue.banner.wikitheme
block.green.wikitheme horizon.blue.banner.wikitheme obsidian.blue.wikitheme
block.red.banner.wikitheme horizon.blue.wikitheme obsidian.green.banner.wikitheme
block.red.wikitheme horizon.green.banner.wikitheme obsidian.green.wikitheme
float.green.banner.wikitheme horizon.green.wikitheme obsidian.orange.banner.wikitheme
float.green.wikitheme horizon.grey.wikitheme obsidian.orange.wikitheme
float.orange.banner.wikitheme horizon.red.banner.wikitheme
float.orange.wikitheme horizon.red.wikitheme
Well, let's try this.
I'll edit the /Library/Application Support/Apple/WikiServer/Themes/horizon.green.wikitheme/theme.plist file which is from the theme I use for one of my Wikis. Originally, it looks like this:
*------ QUOTE: ------*

I'll run this command once again: sudo serveradmin stop teams; sudo serveradmin start teams;
I launch Safari and guess what happens! The Wiki has decided to revert to the theme which I choose as the default theme when I installed Mac Os X Leopard Server! It reverted to the Block Green Books theme, and the sidebar is still not changed. If I go via the Wiki's admin interface to rechoose my origional theme, it's become unavailable.
If i change the /Library/Application Support/Apple/WikiServer/Themes/horizon.green.wikitheme/theme.plist back to it's origional state, then run the sudo serveradmin stop teams; sudo serveradmin start teams;
I'm back with a working Wiki, but still no custom sidebar.
No success. Does anybody have any suggestions, please?
I'm crying my eyes out over here :-/

Eureka! I found a solution that helped me along the way. I'm now able to add as many Custom Dynamic content in the sidebar as I wish. But I haven't been able to remove "What's hot" and "Upcoming events" yet.
*THIS is how you customize the sidebar in your wiki server running on Mac Os X 10.5 Leopard*
1: When you have a working wiki, use you're Terminal.app to access this dir:
/Library/Collaboration/Groups/[NAME OF YOUR WIKI]
Inside this foldere there is a file named metadata.plist
This file is where you add your content. BUT you MUST do this in the correct order to make it work. This is how:
1. Edit the file and insert content like shown in the example bellow.
2. Save the metadata.plist file and go to the Application Server Admin and restart the webservice Click stop, what until it's stopped, and click start again.
(If your're running the server in simplemode, you just use server preferences and stop and start the webservice again).
3. Run this command in the terminal: sudo serveradmin stop teams; sudo serveradmin start teams;
4. Now you can se that you're changes have been made.
Issues: If you access the wiki via you're browser and you get "internal server error" -It's because the syntax in the metadata.plist file is wrong, so revert to your backup and try again.
If you don't restart the webservice like described in step 2 above, and then try to access the wiki via you're webbrowser, the wiki will overwrite your new settings and you're changes will not be saved.
This is still by far the stupidest undocumented issue I've experienced with Apple. If Steve S knew about this, he would be ashamed
The file shown bellow is not entierly like the one that will work in your wiki, this is because the GUID id unique for every wiki - and our file bellow specifies to use the green theme as well. So instead of copy/paste the file I'm showing here, just modify your own by adding lines like this:
<dict>
<key>displayName</key>
<string>Final Cut Pro</string>
<key>howMany</key>
<string>10</string>
<key>sort</key>
<array>
<string>modifiedDate</string>
</array>
<key>sortDirection</key>
<array>
<string>reverse</string>
</array>
<key>tag</key>
<array>
<string>FCP</string>
</array>
<key>type</key>
<string>custom</string>
<key>uid</key>
<string>CustomTagSidebar</string>
</dict>
Look at my file bellow to learn exacly where to place the lines.

How to Including custom text in the step "User Decision"

Hi All
Please help me in this regards I got problem
How to Including custom text in the step "User Decision"
Regards
Poonam
Edited by: Julius Bussche on Feb 2, 2009 1:59 PM
Please use the corect forum, meaningfull subject titles and use the search before asking questions

Hi Poonam,
If I understood your problem correctly...
When you create a user decision a screen will appear.
In the decision tab under Title you can give your custom text.
Even if you want to give some variable (value of which will be determined at runtime) you can give that as well.
Like you have created a container for BOR objects MAT_DETAIL, in that object there is a field MATERIAL.
You can define your custom text as below:
Title: Would you like to create new material or display material &
Parameter 1: &MAT_DETAIL.MATERIAL&;
In Title you can give as max. as 4 &(ampersand). And each & will be replaced by each Parameter at runtime in same sequence.
In parameters you use to select the container defined by you earlier.
Hope this will help.

TS3276 Web through this step-by-step, but alas it did not solve the problem. For some reason I can download mail on my Macbook Pro, but no my iMac. Connection Doctor shows all green lights.

Went through this step-by-step, but alas it did not solve the problem. For some reason I can download mail on my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but no my iMac. Connection Doctor shows all green lights. This started today when I was prompted to re-enter incoming mail server passwords. I re-entered passowrds yet again to make sure they were correct. Rebuilt the inBox. Connection Doctor continues to show all green lights, but am still unable to download mail to the inbox. Has anyone else ever run into this problem?

I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

TS4062 I've done all of these recommended steps. My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync. Any other suggestions?

I've done all of these recommended steps. My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync. My iTunes is version 11.0..3.42, iPhone is 6.1.4, and iPad 6.1.3. Any suggestions?

All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

Step by Step to access custom Java API in Application Service.

Hi Experts,
I have a situation to access the custom Java API in CAF. The Java API fetches the data from MDM. I need to get the data from that API and and use it in the CAF Application Service layer? Is there a way to access the JAVA API in the Application Service Layer? If so please do help me out. Step by Step solution would be appreciated.
thanks in advance.
Regards
Ketan

Hi Ketan,
You can do it in two ways.
1. You can create your own custom class in the ejbmodule which you can see in the Navigator view.
2. You can have a ear having the custom class. This ear will be in a separate DC and CAF will have dependency to it.

Hi John,
I would like magic of course. However, in this case I want something special: my authentication provider uses special means and contents of headers, cookies and service from external identity management systems to determine the user's identity.
I do not want the application to present the login dialog! I want to derive the identity and the fact that the user is logged in from whatever the authentication provider returns in terms of Subject.
Ideally, the flow is something like:
- user accesses an unprotected resource - resource is shown, no interaction with authentication provider
- user presses a link or button that takes him/her to a protected resource
- the authentication provider is contacted to work with the identity asserter to establish the identity of the current user and create a subject object for this user
- the application can access the subject and principals
- ADF Security recognizes the identity and the roles (based on the principals) and coordinates access based on this.
the authentication method is client certificate. presumably this prompts WebLogic/OPS to use an identity asserter to work with custom headers and cookies ("... when you configure a web application to use CLIENT-CERT authentication. In this case, WebLogic can perform identity assertion based on values from request headers and cookies. If the header name or cookie name matches the active token type for the provider, the value is passed to the provider."). No login form should be presented to the user, as all information required to perform the authentication is already available.
I am trying to understand what I must do to have the ADF application adopt the subject set by the authentication provider - if anything?!
If you more ideas to share - I would love to hear them.
best regards,

Customizing OI to add step progress bar

Hello custom RTOI experts! I am attempting to make a customization to the full-featured LabVIEW RTOI (for TestStand 3.0) in order to provide the seemingly simple feature of a step completion progress bar on the execution page of the tab control. Let me explain a little behind the concept I'm going for. There are some steps in my sequences that take a relatively long time (15 minutes or so). During this period, a requirement of mine is to have a progress bar that gets updates every so often such that by the time the step would ordinary complete, the progress bar is at 100%. Initial attempts involved a separate VI that managed the progress bars, but having yet another window is not the ideal UI design... Instead, I was hoping to integrate this functionality into the RTOI so that each time a new step begins executing, additional custom data (the expected step duration) is (optionally) sent to the RTOI providing the progress update portion of the RTOI code the necessary data.
Is there any sample code out there that performs some similar task so that I can get a better feel for how the pieces fit together? In particular, there are a few things that are befuddling me:
1) What is a good way to store this custom information (step duration) in the sequence file? Should I modify the basic step types to add a new duration field which can be optionally set to something greater than the default, 0?
2) How should the step duration get passed to the RTOI? My current thought is to override the PreStep engine callback to send the custom duration field in a custom UIMessage, but that may be partly because I'm not familiar enough with the structure of the data is that is that is accessible via the sequence context...
3) How do I link the progress bar data to the actual execution page that is currently being viewed. Up to 4 executions can be running using the parallel model or the batch model in my sequences, so something would clearly need to be done so that when execution 1 is visible, the associated progress bar is shown, etc... I'm assuming I can trap on some event when the user clicks on an execution in the list bar, but there is no similar code in the out-of-box RTOI - all that appears to be managed automatically by linking the controls to the execution manager.
Thanks for any pointers or code samples (or even suggested reading) that anyone can give.

Thanks for the response.
I may indeed want to use the ProgressPercent message, but I'm not so sure just yet. I did not want to leave the responsibility of sending UIMessages up to the VIs and other code modules called by the sequence - I was hoping for a simple solution to provide a new field (ExpectedDuration) that can be set for any given step. In this way, the RTOI can manage updating the progress simply by counting seconds. Perhaps there is some timer callback that can be leveraged to perform this function?
What I have so far is as follows: I have a new step type called PassFailTestWithDuration. It is a copy of the PassFailTest step type with the addition of a ExpectedDuration property and a new PreStep which calls the PostUIMessageEx with a custom event (10001). The expected duration and the RunState.TestSockets.MyIndex both get passed as parameters. Inside the RTOI, I have added a UserMessage callback VI which stores the data in the appropriate slot of a global (indexed by socket index). (The global array is implemented as what I've heard called an action engine - there are init, read, and write actions that it can perform on data stored in the VI, and it is set as non-reentrant so that race conditions cannot occur). Each entry in the global array has 2 fields - the expected duration, and the current elapsed time. My idea was to continually update the current elapsed time for all active executions and simply show a progress bar for the "active" execution by displaying its elapsed time/expected duration in each necessary event...
I think my main question now is - how do you determine the RunState.TestSocket.MyIndex of the active execution in the execution manager (or application manager)? It seems like such an obvious thing to want to know, but I don't see it anywhere.
Thanks again for any hints you can provide!

XI: Alerts - Step by step issue " Prompt for customizing request"

I am going through Michal Krawczyk's blog XI: Alerts - Step by step
Michal Krawczyk and between step 4 and step 5 I run up against an issue. I cannot save it because I get a popup saying "Prompt for customizing request" then I click the list button and it says " You can only include objects of this type in customizing requests only" ( a little redundant I must say ) but anyway - the net result is I can't save and lose all the work I just did.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks - Andrew

Scott,
I have replied in your another thread for this issue. I request you to please make one thread only so that it will not confuse you and the SDNers.

Custom fields in ME21n ,step by step procedure/weblog ?

I need to add a custom field zz1 to ME21N transaction at header level and make it available for input in the screen. Is there any step by step proceurec/approach which is generic for adding this functionality to any standard transaction?
Rgds,
Ajay

Hi,
Try this..
In ZXM06TOP
DATA: gl_ekko_ci LIKE ekko_ci.
In the FM EXIT_SAPMM06E_006
ekko_ci = i_ci_ekko.
In the FM EXIT_SAPMM06E_007
*transfer values in own structures
move-corresponding i_ekko to gl_ekko_ci.
In the FM EXIT_SAPMM06E_008
E_CI_EKkO = gl_ekko_ci.
if gl_ekko_ci-ZZ ne ekko_ci-ZZ.
e_ci_ekko-ZZ = ekko_ci-ZZ.
e_ci_update = 'X'.
ENDIF.
Please let me know if it works..
Thanks
Naren
