Do I need an IIS component?

For as long as I've been working with my current employer
(just over a year) and for quite some time before that, we have
published help files onto a dedicated server using an IIS
component. Specifically, we use RoboEngine to publish a help file
in WebHelp Pro.
We're taking a look at how we do things, and the question
came up, "Why don't we simply generate the output onto a secure
shared drive without the IIS component?" Why indeed?
So, I'm posing this to the experts out there. What is the
advantage to publishing to a Robo server? I know that you can
gather a usage summary, but we don't use that anyway. I believe
that RoboEngine gives us the natural-language search. Personally,
I'm not a fan of natural-language search, but enough people may be
that could impact this decision. Is there anything else it does
that I'm missing?
Is there a performance issue if we have the users access the
generated files directly? Our help files are a bit intense and are
accessed several times per hour. If I have an update during working
hours, will generating a new output cause a problem?
What do you do with your most intense HTML help files?

No, that's a pretty fair question. I'm not even sure that we
would stop using it.
A little bit of background: I work with about a dozen help
files with another co-worker. We both update these files as
requests come in. We store the files on the network drive and
"check them out" by copying them to our hard drives. For the most
part, we are able to work with each other on these files.
Sometimes, we run into some snags and are uncertain if it is
the IIS component that's causing it. Or maybe if things would run
more smoothly without the RoboEngine. Specifically, the engine
crashes sometimes, and we have to go through a troublesome process
to get it running again. Since people rely on our help files to
perform their jobs quickly (call center), it is a definitely
problem when we have a crash. Granted, it doesn't happen often, but
when it does, it makes quite an impact.
It was then brought to my attention that while we suffer with
a crashed server or a broken Search function on robo1, we do not
run into this problem with one of our help files. This help file is
published to a shared drive with no IIS component. So, we are
wondering if we should continue using RoboEngine. We don't actually
use that much of the features (I'm sure they looked good on paper,
but we don't really make much use of them), so we're evaluating if
it's worth the pain. Of course, I also recognize that I'm examining
one small help file versus multiple, larger help files. Perhaps we
would suffer potential crashes regardless of where we store our
output files.
So far, the biggest advantages would be:
Natural language search
Usage summary
Incorporating baggage files into the search function
The only one we might use would be the natural language
search. Personally, I'd rather just do a text search anyway.

Oracle - Need to Know Component

Hi, Need help getting the Oracle Need to Know Component working? Have enabled it in accordance with the manual but it doesnt seem to take effect and offer any additional functionality above the standard UCM security Model. Any ideas? Have added elements of IDOC Script which have still not made a difference? Has anyone got a tried and tested model that I could use to get this NTK things to work? B

While I cannot offer direct advice about how to get this going I can offer some warnings on this component. Make sure it does and acts as you EXPECT it to. What does that mean? Well, recall that the NTK component allows searching of content and does return metadata of content you may not have access too. I mean, that IS the point of the component, but this has some dangers.
Say for example you have content checked into the system titled August Layoffs. And Little Timmy is listed in that file. Maybe Timmy happens upon the file by accident and finds the title somewhat intimidating. So, he performs a full text search on his name. And the file shows up. Little Timmy gets mad.
Watch your back.
Ok, that was a little bit dramatic, but I hope the point is clear. It is a neat component, just take the time to be sure it does exactly what you want or it may surprise you.

You might want to look to see if these components are already in your database. Look under TRANSISTORS in the database. These are the only 2 in mine.
http://www.duncanamps.com/spicemiscsemi.html also has these same 2 but there are from different manufacturers. You can look at these also if you want.

Need help with Component- TileList

Hi,
I'm trying to make a gallery using the component: TileList. Here is what I've done so far:
I've created two arrays(aTop & aBottom) to store the movie clips(mc1-mc10 & mc11-mc20 respectively) which will be shown when the corresponding drop down menu is selected. I've placed the movie clips mc1, mc2, mc3...,mc20 off the stage so that they are not visible right now. What I need is when the user selects the drop down menu, then the corresponding images(movie clips) will be shown in the TileList that I've created.
I've used the following code. Instance name for the TileList is: tlGallery & instance name for the Combo Box is cbClothes.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import flash.display.*;
var aTop:Array = new Array(mc1,mc2,mc3,mc4,mc5,mc6,mc7,mc8,mc9,mc10);
var aBottom:Array = new Array(mc11,mc12,mc13,mc14,mc15,mc16,mc17,mc18,mc19,mc20);
function showGallery(evt:Event):void
 if (evt.target.selectedIndex == 0)
 var dpImage1:DataProvider = new DataProvider(aTop);
 tlGallery.dataProvider = dpImage1;
 else if (evt.target.selectedIndex == 1)
 var dpImage2:DataProvider = new DataProvider(aBottom);
 tlGallery.dataProvider = dpImage2;
cbClothes.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,showGallery);
After selecting the top-down menu, I'm getting 10 placeholders in the TileList but I can't view the images(movie clips). I need to find out where I'm making the mistake. Am I following the correct procedure to load and show the TileList with the movie clips?

Flash CS3 has this Example and it should work for any version:
This example demonstrates how to create a TileList instance and dynamically populate its contents with a symbol from the library.
To run the example, follow these steps:
Add the TileList component to the library.
Draw a star and create a movie clip symbol from it named "star".
In the symbol properties for star, check the box that says "Export for ActionScript".
Save this code as TileListExample.as in the same directory as your FLA file.
Set the Document class in the FLA file to TileListExample.
package
 import fl.controls.TileList;
 import fl.data.DataProvider;
 import flash.display.Sprite;
 import flash.events.Event;
 public class TileListExample extends Sprite
 public function TileListExample() {
 var dp:DataProvider = new DataProvider();
 var totalEntries:uint = 42;
 var i:uint;
 for(i=0; i<totalEntries; i++) {
 dp.addItem( { label:"star"+i, source:star, scaleContent:false} );
 var myTileList:TileList = new TileList();
 myTileList.allowMultipleSelection = true;
 myTileList.columnWidth = 125;
 myTileList.rowHeight = 150;
 myTileList.dataProvider = dp;
 myTileList.columnCount = 3;
 myTileList.rowCount = 1;
 myTileList.move(10,10);
 addChild(myTileList);

Need recommendation - iis with two physical servers and clusters

Hello,
I was hoping to get a recommendation/opinion or two on the configuration I've inherited. I'm looking
at the following configuration using weblogic 8.1 sp4 server (to be upgraded to sp6) running on two physical machines:
MachineA:
Domain: myDomain
Cluster: cluster1
Servers: Admin Server:9001 (not part of cluster)
ManagedServer1:7001
ManagedServer2:7010
MachineB:
Domain: myDomain
Cluster: cluster2
Servers: Admin Server:9001 (not part of cluster)
ManagedServer3:7001
ManagedServer4:7010
On MachineA: IIS Proxy Plugin with parameter in .ini file
WeblogicCluster: MachineA:7001, MachineA:7010, MachineB:7001,MachineB7010
Naturally, the IIS is acting as a round robin load balancer..
The domains were created using the wizard on both machines and basic domain template..
For proper failover to be taken advantage of, does something different need to be configured? Or is it fine?
And if so, does group replication have something to do with it?
Should either of the clusters be Managed Servers across physical machines?
or should this just be one cluster of 4 managed servers across two machines?
I really am not sure on any of this, even though i've read through much of the documentation for clustering..twice.
I should mention that there is only a .war file deployed with 4 connection pools and 4 Data Sources..No EJBs or JMS
Would really appreciate any feedback or opinions/advice..
Thanks

This is what I'd do
MachineA:
Domain: myDomain
Cluster: cluster1
Servers: Admin Server:9001 (not part of cluster)
ManagedServer1:7010
ManagedServer2:7020
MachineB:
Domain: myDomain
Cluster: cluster2
Servers: Admin Server:9001 (not part of cluster)
ManagedServer3:8010
ManagedServer4:8020
I just changed the port numbers so they flow and have a pattern - 70* port numbers belong to cluster 1, 80* port numbers belong to cluster 2. No technical benefit apart from it makes it tidier in my opinion.
Port 9001 for the admin server is normally the domain wide admin port - you could be using that, so that's fine, but my admin server is running 7001.
You also only need one admin server per domain, this can run on MachineA
Replication groups are used to help WLS figure out where to place the secondary http session. It will try servers on a different machine/replication group first, if none available, it will create secondary on the same machine.
What you will end up with is a domain with 4 managed servers in it. The admin server will run on machineA, say using port 7001, each of the managed servers will contact the admin server to download it's config.
The cluster1 will contain 2 managed servers and the same for cluster2.
providing you have your cluster multicast addresses set up and the cluster is working, that should be all you need to do for the session failover.
There's some BEA sample code somewhere which will deploy a web-app and show which managed server you've attached to. If you find that and then connect through IIS, shut down the server that the JSP tells you, you should be able to see the session fail-over nicely.
Hope that helps,
Pete

Need help with component label

Hi all,
I want to have label for my components. so when any existing components on the page is opened for editing(for example if I open any components in edit mode from foundation, Tab name is seen and if there is multiple tab like in textImage component its confusing what component is that)I am using fieldLabel properties to show label in my component but this properties is not working for me. Please advice...
Thanks A lot in Advance..

Hi,
Yeah, its clear now. sorry for confusion. So as i understood you actually want to show label for your component not the tabs and OOTB using title will not help you. If you want to achieve this then you have to change your hierarchy.
Yake an example:
If your current hierarchy is like below
dialog (tabpanel) --> items (widgetcollection) --> tab1 (panel)--> items (widgetcollection) --> etc.....
then you have to move your tabpanel inside another panel which has property "layout" and value as "fit", so the new hierarchy will look like this
dialog (panel) -->items (widgetcollection)-->Main Tab(tabpanel) --> items (widgetcollection) --> tab1 (panel)--> items (widgetcollection) --> etc.....
and at panel use property "title" to set the main title
The look and feel will be different than to normal tab panel obviously as you used panel but hope it will be fine.
Let me know you need more information.
I would also suggest you to refer - http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/widgets-api/output/CQ.Ext.TabPanel.html from more info.
Thanks,
Pawan

Need to Know Component

Hi, I wanted to know if this component (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10316_01/cs/cs_doc_10/documentation/extras/needtoknow_10en.pdf) has been updated for 11g?
I recently downloaded the 10gR3 version but doesn't seem to work with WCC 11g PS3.
Has it been superseded? Would really like to know as I have a client that needs finer grain control than just security groups, roles and accounts.
Thanks!

If you need finer grained security settings, I would recommend using Access Control Lists (ACL).

Help - need text editor component

Hello,
I need a simple text editor component to add to my application.
I need to load it from a database file line by line.
It must be able to handle page breaks (new page) when the user types more than will fit on a page.
I have not been able to find anything to do this in java, I found a .net TextControl, but I want to stay in java if possible.
Are there any code samples or anything available to do this?
If it does not handle page breaks, it is useless to me because I need to write the text back to the database and must be able to handle multi-page.
I thought about fileing a jtextarea one page at a time by loading the text in an array. I still have the problem of if the user types more than will fit on a page.
Thanks for the help.

When I need to Create Component

Hi Gurus,
I have few doubts on EP implementation Can plz help me to clear all.
1. When do we need to implement JspDynpage?
2. When we need to create AbstractPortalComponent?
Using AbstractPortalComponent how to call a Jsp file?
Please help on these doubts. Thanks in advance.
Ian

HI Ian....
JspDynPage is used when u segregate the controller from the Presentation
it represents the MVC architecture....
u have the Model to control data flow.....and jsp to present (View) and JspDynPage as the Controller...........
thats how it works...
where as the Abstract Portal Component doesnt follow this architecture.....
u write the presentation sa well as the business logic completely in the doContent() method......
it depends on ur choice as to which method to follow based on ur requirements or business logic...
Now..as to call the jsp from an Abstract Component....u can get the HttpServletRequest from the IportalcomponentRequest...and the use it to sendRedirect() to a jsp page....
hope this helps....
Regards,
Sudheer

Need help in Component Mapping - "Mapping has not been completed" !

Hi Experts,
i read the SAP Galileo Press Book "Web Dynpro for ABAP" and i try in Chapter 2 some exercise for Multi-Component-Architecture.
In this Chapcter i have 2 Components "Main" and "Nations". In one of this Components i created Node´s and Attributes in the Context of Component-Controller. After this i changed to the View and tryed to mapping the Component-Controller and View.
Before i explain what i have done, i want show us the following Error:
Note
-> The following error text was processed in system FID : Adapter error in TEXT_VIEW "TV_LANDX50" of view "ZZWDC_CHAP02_NATIONS.V_NATIONS": Context binding of property TEXT cannot be resolved: The Mapping to Node COMPONENTCONTROLLER.1.T005T Has Not Been Completed.
-> The error occurred on application server fidvfid0_FID_00 and in work process 0 .

hello,
i think you missed mapping the layout with the context attributes....check out the property of all the elements in the view, if not mapped map it by selecting the attribute from the node.

Need help understanding component id values in a region

Hi, I have an adf region that is assigned the id of r1. The region uses a .jsff that has various UI components, for example a commandButton assigned the id of cb1. I'm trying to understand how ADF creates the id for the button that's rendered.
For example, in this case, the id of the button is something like a:b:r1:1:cb1 (where a & b are the ids of other parent naming containers). What does the ":1" in r1:1 indicate? It seems like it's some index value and not referring to a naming container, but not sure what this means in the context of a region.
Other times, I've noticed that the id of the same button is something like a:b:r1:0:cb1. In this case, r1:1 got changed to r1:0. What is the meaning of ":1" and "{noformat}:0{noformat}" in the ids and why would this change?

I am assuming that your mum's email address is a sub-account of your dad's.
If it is you need to set up a BTID for her. This will allow her email account to be managed and only accessed by her rather than being managed by your dad.
If your dad is the account holder log onto his MyBT and go to "My Extras" and you will see "Manage BTMail" Click on that and you should see their email accounts. Make sure that you "gift" your mum's email to her.
You should now set up a BTID using your mum's email address and password as the BTID username and password. Once you have done that she should be able to log onto MyBT using her BTID and you should be able to log onto her email.

http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/48680/c/346,6769,7012/related/1
You should make your dad's BTID the same as his BT email address and password. It makes it easier to manage and allow access to other BT features. It is his email address and password that you put onto Outlook Express.

Need Help: IIS/Coldfusion/Oracle10g Client/9.0.4

Has anyone configured IIS 5.0, ColdFusion MX with 9.0.4 Application server? I have successfully configured the IIS plug-in, but am having problems with IIS plug-in not loading. Has anyone else had this problem? THanks.

We followed the exact steps as listed in the 'Repository Installtion guide' we did not encounter any problems.
Couple of suggestion
1) Can you check whether there is ample space on the database on which the repository is being created.
2) Can you try to create the repository using the manual method (through RAU) and check if you still are facing the problem
3) Can you try the sql script method on an other database you have and check if you still have the problem.

Need help creating component with 'application.createComponent'

I am trying to create a button component by doing the following
application.createcomponent("javax.faces.command") ;
However it does not seem to work. I can create pretty much any other component by this method but for some reason I am unable to do this with the 'javax.faces.command' component family. Shouldn't this work?

I think that the component type of the commandButton is "javax.faces.HtmlCommandButton"

Do I need an IIS component?
