Display Collaboration rooms only to authorized users

Hi... The Collaboration Room iView supplied by SAP comes with three tabs "My Rooms", "Restricted Rooms" and "Public Rooms". I want to display only the rooms that the external user is authorized when he logs in. The user should not be able to see any other rooms that he is not a member of. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Yashin,
in the iView of the room list you can manage the visible tabs. If you want to see only the tab my room change the value "Pre-Selected Tab of the Roomdirectory" in the Room List iView from the value "ALL" to the value "MYROOMS". Here you can find more Information about this:

How to get the list of collaboration rooms for a particular user??

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement to get the list of all the collaboration rooms for a given user. I have started developing the Web Dynpro application by reusing necessary jars required to the web dynpro application.
on some action I am trying to execute the below code:
IRooms roomsAPI = (IRooms) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IRooms.PORTAL_SERVICE_ID);
which I have got from help.sap.com
But, there's some exception being raised and not able to retrieve the list of rooms.
Could somebody tell me what am I doing wrong.
Regards,
Raghu.

Hi,
the below is the code that I have used to get the list of rooms. But I'm getting into the NullPointerException .
I have added the catch block for time being, but could you please let me know the reason for NullPointerException?
public void onActiongetRooms(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActiongetRooms(ServerEvent)
     IWDMessageManager msgMgr = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
     try{
          IService service = PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IRooms.KM_SERVICE_ID);
          IRooms roomsAPI = (IRooms) service;
          String roomID = "00bd6231-fdca-2c10-919c-97bf74054b7d";
          IRoom room = roomsAPI.getRoom(roomID);
          String roomname = room.getName();
          msgMgr.reportSuccess(roomname);
     } catch (NullPointerException e) {
          // TODO: handle exception
          msgMgr.reportException("Null Error:"+e.getMessage(), true);
     catch (RoomInstantiationException e) {
          // TODO: handle exception
          msgMgr.reportException("Error :"+e.getMessage(), true);
    //@@end
Any thoughts are much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Display Community Names, only when Current User is a Member of that Community

Greetings,
I have a Community Site Collection(say ABC). Within that I have many Community Sub-sites(say X,Y,Z). I want to display the Community Sub-site Names in Community Home-page for the Condition,
When Current User name Exists in "Community Members".
1.For that i have to access "Community Members" list from all Sub-sites(say X,Y,Z) within Community Site Collection(say ABC).
2.Display Community Sub-sites Name Queried for Current-user Name Exists in "Member" Column of "Community Members" List
Is this the Correct Solution for my Requirement? Or any Best Practice available?
Thanks in Advance for help

Thanks for your Reply
You mean I need to use Custom Webpart and Content Editor in my Community Homepage.
1.Custom Webpart for displaying all Subsites within SiteCollection and
2.Content Editor to hide Community name(By Using JavaScript)
I can display all Subsites within SiteCollection using Spweb.getsubwebsforcurrentUser()
But it seems complex to hide non-member community names. The reason is that for a particular user itself i need to filter out "Is this Current User Member of this Community?" for all Subsites
Any better Solution? Hope it would be
Thanks,

Output display issue in only a particular user account.

Let me start off by noting that I recently switched to mac from windows. Last night I was browsing around the system just getting a feel for the environment when the color / display changed and looked something like a display one would see from booting up in safe mode on a windows machine. I went on to restart and log back into the user account where I was having the display issue, but that did not work. I ran the tech tool deluxe suite to try and find the problem, maybe the video ram? That test came back with no issues to report. I went into the administrator account and found that the display there was normal, and then checked the problem account once more to find that my problem was not solved. Luckily I did not have a lot of information on the problem account so I went onto delete the problem account and recreated a new one. This solved my display issues. Does anyone have any idea why this would have happened or what I can do to prevent it from happening? Should I contact Apple because I am not sure if this may be a hardware/software issue/defect? Thanks.

If you open the Universal Access pane in System Preferences and select "White on Black" in the Seeing tab does that replicate the problem? I'm not familiar with Safe mode on a Windows machine.

Company logo not displayed in preview only for few users

Hi to all.

Thanks in advance.Regards

Hi,
Check this things first.
1. Your logo check on which client may be at dev client it's working but at other cllient it's not working for that u have to transport logo from dev client to other client.
2. What the format of your form because size can be littlebite change printer wise.
3. Check the size of window in which u declare logo or granphic window.
4. Check the upper window or side window of graphic window.
Rewards points if it is useful.

Multilanguage Collaboration room ?

Hello all,
does anybody know, if there are multilanguage collaboration rooms ?
I think about following scenario.
User A logs in to the portal with language EN and sees in the room only items, documents etc., that exist in 'his' language EN. User B logs on with language e.g. japanese and does corresponding only see items in language japanese.
Does this work ? Or are there alternatives ?
Thank you

Hi,
the translation of KM-Documents is not supported in the standard. This means that is it not possible to show an announcement or a document within a room only in the user's language. As a general rule you can say that in the moment all data that you create in the PortalContentStudio can be translated, content created in KM can not. You can try to use taxonomies to sort document by language (by creating an additional property that has to be maintained when creating a document). These two documents are nor related to each other (which e.g. means that you will not be forced to update one if you have changed the other). Then you will need two pages within a room (and two roles) - one for each language (if there are only two languages). Maybe that there are more options by doing some custom coding, but I am not a developer so I am sorry but I can't tell you
Kind regards

A user can only see the public area in a collaboration room

Hi all,
We have experienced that a certain user can only see the public area of
a collaboration room although the user has member rights to see more
content.
We have tried to remove the user from the room and add him again. It
did not help.
Other users have been added before and after this user without problems.
What could be wrong with this user?
Regards,
Ashwin

Hi Ashwin,
Check the roles and the groups by this user.. Is the same of the others users?

Can iBooks Author hide sections of a book to be revealed only after the user selects a correct choice?

Can iBooks Author hide sections of a book to be revealed only after the user selects a correct choice?

'downside'....really?
Well, yes, in the sense that simplicity has a price: it comes at the cost of reduced functionality. (If all the functionality were still there, things wouldn't be as simple; it's an inevitable trade-off.) It looks like IBA was designed with the iWeb philosophy: make simple things really simple, and leave out the stuff that's too complex to control for non-experts. The upside of course is that non-experts can use the tool really easily.
K T wrote:
No pain - no gain. You didn't come up with the content for your books without putting in fair time
Sure. But almost all that effort went towards creation of the content, not towards laying it out with IBA (which was remarkably easy). So, in that sense, IBA more than met my expectations. The things it does do, it by and large does really well, and without much expertise needed on my part. The only thing that was complex was the HTML widget, which took some programming. But that's entirely my own fault, not IBA's

Can I create pages that only authorized users can access?

I need to create pages that only authorized users can access, is that possible to be done with Muse?

Hi Natalia,
If you are using Business Catalyst as a host , then "Yes" you need to publish a website to use Secure zone of Business Catalyst.
If you are using a different host or BC then you may use third party widgets like

Will LDAP migration of users affect their Collaboration Rooms??

Hi,
We are having EP 6.0 with MS-AD readonly Ldap.
We are having domain migration in process now, ie users
are being migrated from dom1.comp.com to dom2.comp.com.
I was wondering how this is going to affect all the collaboration roooms
that we are having, because the user's unique id will change once this
migration is done.(isnt it ??) So would we have to re-assign the users
permisions in each of these rooms?
Also what other things are bound to get affected.
Any help on this would be great.
Regards
Vineeth

Hi,
Yes it will change then (I hopeed you were using samaccountname).
I've got little experience with collboration, but if there is a mass export and import which requires little manual steps that indeed seems like the best way to go.
An alternative would be to program your own export and import functionality by using the collaboration java API.
This should be fairly trivial for a programmer since the API appears quite good

Accessing Collaboration Room with Room Link (URL) doesn't work

hi all
i'm trying to access a collaboration room by room link (url) but it doesn't work. the room url is: https://www.sportal.ch:443/irj/index.html?NavigationTarget=CollaborationConnector://portal_content/com.sap.ip.collaboration/Rooms/b0ce78ec-3f30-2910-2184-b171271d4d95/workset&NavTargetAsRoot=true
i have checked the roombackend-properties => they are ok
i have checked the roles and permissions => they are ok
what me surprises: when i open a new browser window and type in the mentioned url, our portal-start-page is displayed but in the content area there is no content displaied. i expected, that when i type in the url, then the authentification-dialogue would appear, but it does not.... (does this url only work if i am already logged in the portal??)
if you have any ideas, how the problem could be solved, please let me know!
thank you for your help.
greetings

hi ingo
thank you for the input. i have now solved the problem, perhaps my solution fits for you too. here it is:
when i use the function "send room-link" the url looks like this:
https://www.sportal.ch:443/irj/index.html?NavigationTarget=CollaborationConnector://portal_content/com.sap.ip.collaboration/Rooms/9020275c-8348-2810-28a6-a8c1ae60e192/workset&NavTargetAsRoot=true
with this url i can not access the collaboration room.
but when i change the url like this:
https://www.sportal.ch/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/com.sap.ip.collaboration/Rooms/9020275c-8348-2810-28a6-a8c1ae60e192/workset&NavTargetAsRoot=true
now i can access the room (with authentification).
OK, for me the main problem is solved, but can someone perhaps tell me whats the difference between:
NavigationTarget=CollaborationConnector
and
NavigationTarget=ROLES
thank you for your help!

Collaboration Room iViews give error -- Database related errors -- Pls Help

Hello Everyone,
We are on EP 6.0 SP 17 (Netweaver 2004).
KMC component was installed separately (Deployed manually).
We are trying to create simple Collaboration Rooms and we are facing some issues with the same.
I am following the documentation on SAP Help for the Room Creation:
Help  SAP Netweaver 2004  People Integration  Collaboration  Administration Guide
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1d/3d59fdaa5ebb45967ea107d3fa117a/frameset.htm
We are able to create rooms based on pre-defined templates and we are also able to add members to rooms, send/receive the invitation emails. I am able to work with Instant Messaging also.
But the problem is that some of the iViews related to Collaboration Rooms are giving errors.
1. Discussion iView gives an error saying You do not have access permission (even the user has all the necessary roles assigned).
Log for this error is as follows:
Exception ID = 90c3315f-c29d-2910-87ac-806aa372da7f com.sapportals.wdf.WdfError at com.sapportals.wdf.WdfCompositeController.buildComposition(WdfCompositeController.java:678)at com.sapportals.htmlb.AbstractCompositeComponent.preRender(AbstractCompositeComponent.java:33)

 at com.sapportals.htmlb.Container.preRender(Container.java:120)
 at com.sapportals.htmlb.Container.preRender(Container.java:120) .
--- Nested WDF Exception -
com.sapportals.wcm.WcmException: The SQL statement "INSERT INTO "KMC_URIMAPPER" ("HASH_KEY","EXTERNAL_KEY","CONST_INTERNAL","VAR_INTERNAL","EK_PREFIX","EKHK00","EKHK01","EKHK02","EKHK03","EKHK04","EKHK05","EKHK06","EKHK07","EKHK08","EKHK09","EKHK10","EKHK11","EKHK12","EKHK13","EKHK14") VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)" contains the semantics error[s]: column "EK_PREFIX" not in any scope
I tried to change the permissions of the Discussion iView, but it did not work either.
2. Some iViews like Room Information throw a Runtime Error as follows:
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : pcd:portal_content/com.sap.ip.collaboration/RoomPartContent/Generic/Pages/com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomDiscussionPage/com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomInformationExtended
Component Name : com.sap.netweaver.coll.appl.ui.room.RoomInformation
The exception was logged. Inform your system administrator..
Exception id: 02:17_02/02/07_0006_213711350
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
I have figured out that the following error message is common in most or the error messages:
The SQL statement "INSERT INTO "KMC_URIMAPPER" ("HASH_KEY","EXTERNAL_KEY","CONST_INTERNAL","VAR_INTERNAL","EK_PREFIX","EKHK00","EKHK01","EKHK02","EKHK03","EKHK04","EKHK05","EKHK06","EKHK07","EKHK08","EKHK09","EKHK10","EKHK11","EKHK12","EKHK13","EKHK14") VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)" contains the semantics error[s]: column "EK_PREFIX" not in any scope
Are there any database related configurations required for making the Collaboration Room Discussion functionality work properly?
Are there any KM related configurations necessary other than those mentioned in the document I am referring to?
Are there any database related configurations that are required?
I would really appreciate any help in this matter. Please advise me about any ideas you may have?
Thanks,

Hello Lars,
First of all thank you for your reply.
do u use Collaboration first time?
Yes, we just started using Collaboration and this is our first requirement.
Which roles do u have?
I have all the required roles (Super Admin, Content Management, Collaboration, Collaboration Room Creation).
I know that these features are available in NW04 SP 17 without any limitations. I have reviewed SAP Notes 707730, 711093, 709354 and 946470 also.
This problem is with only a few Collaboration iViews.
I am able to create Rooms, Enter Rooms, Receive Invitation e-mails without any problem.
Any suggestions about any possible missing configurations ?
Thanks Again,
Raj

Sort order of documents in a collaboration room

hi everybody
i have a collaboration room where documents are stored in it. the sort order of my folders in the collaboration room is determined by the names of the folders.
now there are many folders in folders and at the bottom-level-folder there are the documents stored. these documents are sorted by the names of the documents too.
now my problem:
the sorting of the folders by name is OK, but at the bottom-level in the bottom-level-folder i need the documents sorted by "modified"-date (for all users). How can i easy made this change? (hope not to make a new layout set...:-() can you please post a guidance?
thank you for your help!
flo

thank you for your feedbacks...
the suggested solutions are not bad but i have this problem:
in the collaboration room we use two layout sets, one for the users with write-permission (layout set FileExplorer) and one for the users with read-permissions (layout set AnonymExplorer).
in the collaboration room the folder-structure for documents should be sorted by folder-name but in the bottom-level-folders, the documents should be sortet by modified-date.
now the problem is, that i can assign only one layout set to a folder, that would mean, that the users with the read- and write-permissions both would have the same view...
do you see another solution?
please help!
thank you
flo
