Display URL prefix for file source

Hi Gurus,
Maybe a real simple one, but please advise as the site is going to go production soon.
Please take a look at this eg.
Filesource1:
i)physical dir(URL): file://localhost/private/htdocs/abc/
URL prefix : file://localhost/private/htdocs/
display URL prefix : http://my.server.com/
ii))physical dir(URL):file://localhost/raid02/htdocs/mkc/
URL prefix :file://localhost/raid02/htdocs/
display URL prefix :http://my.company.com/
I have a single file source(Filesource1) in the admin set up that will crawl two different directory structures with two different display URL.
I had initially crawled with "No display URL" option, then used the Display URL screen to enter both the mappings. It worked(it updated the URL column in wk$URL table to start with 'http://'), however, new crawls dont seem to recogonize the Display URL mappings.Is this because there is more than one mapping?
Is the only solution to create two different filesources with a display URL mapping for each?
thanks,
Sundeep

Hi Leah,
The display URL for a Database Source should point to a separate server that provides web access to the document. It is not meant to point back to the SES instance. As the Admin Guide states:
"This connector requires that there is URL-based access to the records in the result set of the view or query."
In other words, the display URL should be something you can copy/paste into your browser location bar to view the document, with the other server rendering the document information to a user completely independently from SES.
HTH,
Mark

Step 1. Select Source systems under Modelling in the left panel. In the right panel, right-click Source systems and select Createu2026.
Step 2. Select the FileSystem, manual meta data, data using file inte option, and then click to continue.
Step 3. Enter a name and a description for the source system, and then click to create the source system.
Now create an application component
Step 1. Select InfoSources under Modelling in the left panel. In the right panel, right-click InfoSources and select Create application componentu2026.
Step 2. Enter a name and a description for the application component, and then click to continue. (BW automatically adds a prefix of "Z" to the technical names of application components, unlike the naming system used for other BW objects.If u give the name as AC_DEMO it will be saved as ZAC_DEMO in the system.
Now create infosource
Step 1.Select InfoSources under Modelling in the left panel. Right-click the newly created Application Component , and then select Create InfoSourceu2026.
Step 2. Select the option Master data/texts/hierarchies, and then click to continue.
Step 3. Enter your infoobject name, and then click to continue.
Now you will be asked
Infosource(name) assigned to Appln component(name)?
Click continue
Now go back to workbench and see the Infoobject listed under the Application component name (under Infosource)
Right click the infoobject name and select Assign Datasource
Enter the Infoobject name as Infosource name and the source system name and continue
Now you ll get datasource assignment confirmations for Infosource_ATTR and Infosource_TEXT for master data and text.
Click yes and continue
Now you ll be taken to the Infosource(master data) change screen
Source system name will be given
Below that u need to give the datasource name u2026.._ATTR
Click Activate.
Now Click the tab transfer rules
Copy the communication str infoobject names to an excel sheet
For ex if your infoobj are IO_MATNUM and IO_MATNAME (material number and material name) copy and paste as
IO_MATNUM      IO_MATNAME
MAT001     TEA
MAT002     COFFEE
MAT003     SUGAR
GIVE YOUR DATA IN THE EXCEL. AND CLICK File Save As CSV(comma delimited) and save to ur system. Give file name as something like infosourcename_ATTR.csv
Now back to the Infosourcechange screen
Source system name will be given
Below that u need to give the datasource name u2026.._TEXT
And activate
Now Click the tab transfer rules
Copy the communication str infoobject names to an excel sheet
GIVE YOUR DATA IN THE EXCEL. AND CLICK File Save As CSV(comma delimited) and save to ur system. Give file name as something like infosourcename_TEXT.csv
Now create Infoobject to load data
Go to Infosourceu2014Appln Componentu2014InfoObju2014SourceSystemu2014rightclick->create Infopackage
Step 2. Select the DataSource Material number (Master data), enter a description for the InfoPackage, and then click to continue.
Give infopackage description as Infopackage:InfoObj_ATTR
Now take care to select the first item in datasource and click continue
In the next screen click external data tab
Click client workstation
Datafileu2026.file name (browse to give the file u saved in ur system)
There will be an option to remove header data from file.remove 1 row.

In the same way
Go to Infosourceu2014Appln Componentu2014InfoObju2014SourceSystemu2014rightclick->create Infopackage
Step 2. Select the DataSource Material number (text)enter a description for the InfoPackage, and then click to continue.
Give infopackage description as Infopackage:InfoObj_TEXT
Now take care to select the second item in datasource and click continue
In the next screen click external data tab
Click client workstation

JFileChooser Displays Garbage Icons for Files in 1.4.2-02

Since switching from 1.3.1 to 1.4.2-02 I no longer get meaningful icons displayed beside file names by JFileChooser. What it is displaying do not look like anything meaningful. I suspect it is just grabbing some random chunk of memory and interpreting it as an icon. In 1.3.1 I got a folder icon for directories and a dog-eared piece of paper for files. I have not changed any of the code here, except to fix a bug where I was passing an invalid object (not a Component) to showOpenDialog, and the problem occurs both before and after that change. I appreciate that I can create a FileView to display whatever icons I want, but I do not understand why the default is garbage.
     JFileChooser chooser;
     String     directory     = parent.getProperty("directory", "");
     if (directory != "")
     chooser = new JFileChooser(directory);
     else
     chooser = new JFileChooser();
     // select only Text and Excel files, but permit multiples to be chosen
     chooser.addChoosableFileFilter(new TxtFileFilter());
     chooser.setFileFilter(new XlsFileFilter());
     chooser.setMultiSelectionEnabled(true);
     // display the dialog and wait for a response
     int option = chooser.showOpenDialog(desk);

I have since determined that the problem is in FileSystemView.getSystemIcon, which returns a garbage icon on my system.

FM for fetching file type by providing the URL link for file.

Hi All,
We have a requirement to fetching file type of image viz .jpg,.bmp,.tiff by providing the URL link to image.
For example
http://AttachmentWebsite/AttachmentWebsite.aspx?Num=ATT-F19220090818095048&Ext=.JPG&RC=N
Is there any FM to fetch file type from link.
regards,
Nitin
Edited by: Nitin Sikka on Aug 20, 2009 8:35 AM

diff URLs. but if they contain the pattern "EXT*=.<extn name>" then the above code will work
else you have to search for all formats.
data:res type MATCH_RESULT,
DATA : s1 type string VALUE 'http://go2ntlweb14/AttachmentWebsite/AttachmentWebsite.aspx?Num=ATT-F19220090818095048&Ext*=.JPG*&RC=N '.
FIND first OCCURRENCE OF REGEX '.(JPG|TIFF|PNG|JPEG|BMP)' in s1 RESULTS res.
if sy-subrc is INITIAL.
SHIFT s1 by res-offset PLACES.
endif.
WRITE : s1+0(4).

URL prefix for testing server?

My site is hosted by Pair Networks, which uses MySQL and PHP
for dynamic content. The site has separate root URLs for the SSL
and non-SSL portions of the site, and I have two separate "sites"
in Dreamweaver to manage the content. But when I set up a database
connection on the SSL side, the connection only works if the SSL
site's testing server has the URL for the non-SSL site. How do
other Pair customers set up their Dreamweaver sites? Any
suggestions would be great.

Do you have the "User Secure FTP (SFTP) option" checked in
the Remote Site
Definition of the Secure site?

Stacks doesn't display the icons for files

My downloads stack doesn't show the icons for the files it contains
Best way to describe is by showing a photo
http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/6176/screenshot20100102at130.png
I don't know why this happens, any help would be appreciated, tried searching the internet for answers but couldn't find anything listing a similar problem

*THANK YOU!!!*
I'd been having this problem for weeks and it was driving me nuts!! I tried installing the 10.6.3 v1.1 Combo Update today (thinking the problem was caused by the first upgrade to 10.6.3), but that obviously didn't work. Tried messing w/ Airfoil b/c some people complained about it screwing up icon previews; didn't work. Tried deleting the Quicklook.thumbnailcache; didn't work.
After reading this post I opened the Console and saw a .mkv file was screwing with quicklookd.
Deleted it -> problem solved!
Thanks again!

URL prefix under IIS for multiple sites

I'm trying to set up DW8. I webmaster a large number of sites
for clients using a variety of hosting companies and web servers. I
use IIS under Win2K Pro.
Pre-DW, my setup has been to have a test area with folders:
Inetpub\wwwroot\site1, Inetpub\wwwroot\site2, etc. To test I browse
to localhost/site1, localhost/site2, etc. Then I copy the files to
another part of the disk: websites\site1, websites\site2, editing
them to change directions to the include files (sometimes I work in
ASP, sometimes in PHP). Even with a utility we've made special for
this task, this is a ROYAL PAIN. Then I upload site1 to server1,
site2 to server2, etc.
I have to do it this way because IIS will only recognize one
website at a time, and I jump around from site to site so often
it's a real pain to turn the sites on & off via the Control
Panel.
Now I'm trying to set up site definitions on DW8. For Site1 I
say the URL is www.site1.com, the local testing spot is
Inetpub\wwwroot\site1, and it gives me this "site URL prefix for
the testing server does not match the site URL prefix specified in
the HTTP address". What do I do? What have you-all found is the
easist approach:
1. fool DW about where files are kept?
2. Do the PITA switch between which site IIS thinks is
"live"?
3. host a local multi-site server?

Winrm and URL Prefix

My company changed the default wsman URL Prefix for Winrm. As a consequence, we cannot access file shares on Failover Clustering. We get Event Error codes 142 and 49 under the Windows Remote Management Event logs. Changing the URL Prefix back to
wsman resolves our issue. Is there a way to resolve this issue keeping our changed URL Prefix?

Hi Jeffreyw1,
Based on the description of your cases, you wanted to change the default wsman URL Prefix for Winrm. After discussion with escalate engineer i got we
had better use the default settings for it. Changing it is not supported.

URL Prefix in a reverse proxy scenario

Hi,
we actually have a problem with url-generation in our reverse proxy scenario.
We configured our reverse proxy (apache; not a web dispatcher) to map an url from
> http://external-host/url-prefix/irj/portal
to
> http://internal-host:50000/irj/portal
Our problem is that the html portal logon page generates absolute urls to resources like http://external-host/com.sap.portal.epcf.loader/... As you can see it is dropping the url-prefix. So our pages are not displayed properly and forms cannot be submitted.
Is there a way to tell the url generator to put a prefix into each generated absolute url?
We have SAP Netweaver Portal 7.31
thanks & regards,
Christian Buschmann

Samuli Kaski wrote:
Anything is possible. A recommended configuration would be for you to setup DNS aliases for all of your applications (SAP Portal, Ruby, etc.). That way you can have virtual host specific reverse proxy mappings. Believe me, it will pay off.
Yeah, that's what we have done on other sites. But it has the drawback that you have to get seperate ssl-certificates (extended validation) for each domain or have to update the existing ssl-certificate with additional dns-aliases.
So we tried on this site to sepearte each application by url-prefixes. So each application is covered by the same certificate.
Having a non-standard configuration means you will have to implement tweaks here and there not to mention how painful it is to maintain such a configuration.
Still, if you want to try it out try the following configuration
<Directory /app2>
          ProxyPass /app2/ htp://portalhost/
          ProxyPassReverse /app2/ http://portalhost/
</Directory>
Apache will use URL prefix /app2 for any URL generated by AS JAVA. That said, you will run into problems eventually since URLs get generated in so many ways, including URLs within HTTP responses which Apache will not change.
That's our problem now. Apache does map the url from http-request but the http-response-content from sap-portal is untouched. So absolute links within html pages generated by sap-portal are pointing to the wrong path. Protocol, host and port are correct but the path is missing the url-prefix.
So i don't want our apache to correct the links and rather want sap-portal to produce correct links. It's working fine with protocol, host and port for urls, but i can't set an url-prefix for the path-component.
So my hope is that you can make the url generator from sap portal aware of our url-prefix (maybe depending of virtual host, or by setting a field in http-request) like it's aware of incoming protocol, host and port. So that every generated link will get an url-prefix for it's path component.

URL parameters for a Database Source in SES

Can anyone provide us a valid url format for creating a Database Source in SES? I have followed the SES Admin documentation, and have tried a variety of options, but am not getting the results I desire.
I have set up a view to my database table using the following syntax:
create or replace view test_tablename2 AS
SELECT 'docserver?docid=' || id URL,
id KEY,
'en' LANG,
POSTDATE LASTMODIFIEDDATE,
DOCUMENT CONTENT,
'text/html' CONTENTTYPE,
SUBJECT TITLE
FROM tablename2;
I also set up the Database Source in SES with the following parameters:
Database Connection String: jdbc:oracle:thin:@IP Address: 1521: MAINDB
URL Prefix: http://<SES computername.domain>: port/
(I can't include the IP address, tablename, or machine names in this forum because they are classified).
So, it crawls fine and gives me the expected number of documents found. And, when I search the source, I get a list of results. But, when I click on the link to the document, I get a 404 Page not found error. The url for the found doc shows as: <SES computername.domain:port/docserver?docid=1866
If I click on the "cached" link, I can see the document just fine and the url displayed is:
http://computername.domain:port/search/query/cache.jsp?id=438567&q=%&fid=
So, obviously, I still don't have the url for the docsever right.
Anyone have any ideas, please?
thanks,
Leah

The display URL for a Database Source should point to a separate server that provides web access to the document. It is not meant to point back to the SES instance. As the Admin Guide states:

How to display a dynamic image file from url?

Hey,I want to display a dynamic image file from url in applet.For example,a jpg file which from one video camera server,store one frame pictur for ever.My java file looks like here:

F.setSize(480, 240);
PlayJpg A = new PlayJpg();
F.add(A);
A.start(); // Web browser calls start() automatically
// A.init(); - we skip calling it this time
// because it contains only Applet specific tasks.
F.setVisible(true);
Thread count = null;
String urlStr = null;
int sleepTime = 0;
Image image = null;
// called only for an applet - unless called explicitely by an appliaction

I only get the first frame picture for ever by my html.But the jpg file is dynamic.
Why?
Can you help me?
Thanks.

Hi,
Add this line inside your run() method, right before your call to repaint():
if (image != null) {image.flush();}Hope this helps,

How to generate an XML Configuration File for EBS Source Type

Hi,
We have installed SES, I want to integrate it to enable for searching repository contracts.
In the sources I have selected oracle.apps.okc.repository.textsearch.server.RepHeaderSearchExpVO.
For this source I need to specify the Configuration URL.
Here I need to provide the path for configuration XML file. But before that I need to generate the XML Configuration file.
Is there any steps on how we can create this XML file.
like I would want to know how we can create the XML file and on which folder on the server should I be putting it
Thanks

The value should be set for Base image URL and Image file directory

Hi experts
Now customer has the following issue.
XML Publisher concurrent request, using RTF layout template with LOGO, does not generate the LOGO for Excel output.
but in output formats PDF, it is shown normally.
from the debug log, we can found the following error message
======
[051812_054716051][][ERROR] Could not create an image. Set html-image-dir and html-image-base-uri correctly.
======
so I tell the customer to do the following action plan.
1. in XML Publisher Administrator resp > Administration expand the HTML Output section.
2a. enter a value for 'Base image URI'
2b. enter a value for 'Image file directory'
Customer set the value as following and retest this issue,but he found the issue is not solved.
Base image URI: /u01/r12/ebssnd/apps/apps_st/comn/java/classes/oracle/apps/media/XXSLI_SONY_LIFE_LOGO.gif
Image file directory: /u01/r12/ebssnd/apps/apps_st/comn/java/classes/oracle/apps/media
I verified 'Base image URI' and 'Image file directory' settings:
1) Change output type to HTML.
2) Click the Preview.
but the image is correctly displayed on HTML, so I think the issue is caused by user's uncorrectly setting of the base image URL and/or image file directory
but could anyone give me some advice on which value should be set for Base image URL and Image file directory
Regards
shuangfei

First thing to do is to edit the post and use some tags to format the code as it is unreadable and too much!
Read the FAQ (https://forums.oracle.com/forums/help.jspa) to find out how to do this.
Next we need to know the jdev version you are using!
As the code is generated I would first try to generate it again after the db change.

Webdispatcher not redirecting for multiple url prefixes

Hi Experts,
Web Dispatcher configuration already in place.
We are already using the URL's for NWBC through webdispatcher & masked the hostname & ports for Development/Quality systems in Development webdispatcher systems.
Now currently we have created the Url with port for EP development systems as "https://abc.company.com:8200" & I have placed the relevant details in configuration profile but the re-direction is not happening and by default its taking the prefix ashttps://abc.company.com:8200/sap/bc/nwbc instead ofhttps://abc.company.com:8200/irj/portal .Also note if I replace the redirection rule & set as icm/HTTP/redirect_0= PREFIX=/, TO=/irj/portal redirection works but the rest of the multiplesystems which is Abap & using nwbc prefixes will not work.So to summarize , we want to use both the redirections for nwbc as well as portal in one webdispatcher.

Hi Tim,
Unfortunately this is not possible; you can't associate multiple certificates to a single proxy list due to the fact that SSL handshake is done first with no visibility of the URL being requested, so the CSS won't know which public server to use in order to perform the traffic decryption.
But there are a couple of options that you may want to look at (depending on the URL string)
If your URLs are subdomains and you hold a wildcard SSL certficate to match multiple requests, i.e your domain being "pets.com" you can have a certficate that will match request for dogs.pets.com or cats.pets.com because the cert will be in the form *.pets.com
The second option is SAN (Subject alternative names) certificates; which give you the option to include up to 4 flavors of the domain within the same file, such as pets.com, pets.net, www.1pets.com.
I hope this helps.

Q: General : Can workshop test form display a browse icon for file input?

Hi,
Is it possible to write a web service which takes in say a license file for validation
and returns a boolean true if
valid and false if not valid? Can the workshop test form display a browse icon so
that I can select the license file
from my local system? Or do I have to write an html/jsp front-end to the web service
myself?
Thanks,
Sadhana

Hi Adam,
Thanks a lot again for answering my question with such a nice
explanation!

"Adam FitzGerald" <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi Sadhana,
Web services have two mechanisms to receive data that are part of the SOAP
1.1 specification.
The first mechanism is to pass the data as a parameter to the web service
operation
- this only works if the data is text based and can be imbedded in an XML
SOAP document
(i.e. it cannot be binary information like images or music not can it be
complete
standalone XML documents). We demonstrated this technique in class and it
is the
most common way to transmit information.
The second mechanism is to add the data to the SOAP request as an attachment
(similar
to email). This mechanism is not available directly in Workshop but WebLogic
server
does provide this capability if you use web service handlers. See the URL
below for
more information.
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs70/webserv/design.html#1053805
There is also a third programmatic solution. You could provide a URL for
the file
or document that you want to process as a parameter for the web service
and then
the web service could use the java.net API to retreive the document dynamically
during
processing. This has obvious preformance and security problems but it might
be applicable
in some situations.
Good luck
