Doubt in configuring entry points for iviews

Hi, I have followed the steps of the help about configuring entry points for iviews:
1.-> in the pcd I have created a folder to store iviews for WPC.
2.->I have gived read permission.
3.->I have desactivated the hide root folder check por pcd repository.
4.->I have created a folder in km.
I am loosing in the step "Create a entry point for the folder that you created in step x".
How link the pcd folder that store the iviews with the km folder?
when I try to create a entry point I only can see km folders, How can I choose my pcd folder?
Thanks.
Regards.

Try this:
Procedure
1. Choose System Administration → System Configuration → Knowledge Management → Content Management → User Interface → Mapping → Component.
2. Edit the wpcDragExplorerEntryPoints configuration object.
Use the following parameters:
Parameter: Description
displaymode:Specify select
maxproviderprio: Highest priority number that standard entry points can have and still be displayed in the Web content browser
entriesperrow: Number of entry points displayed in each row (default: 5)
entrypointsprefix: Prefix of the entry point repository: If you specify a value for this parameter, standard KM entry points are also displayed in the Web content browser.
Default: /entrypoints
sharedcontent: Semicolon-separated list of paths to be displayed as global entry points for shared content
Examples of parameter values (for sharedcontent param):
displaymode=select,maxproviderprio=30,entriesperrow=5,entrypointsprefix=/entrypoints,sharedcontent=/wpccontent/Cross-Site Content;/pcd

Web Page Composer: Problems creating entry points for iViews

Hi experts, i´ve been trying to add an iView to a page. I know i have to create an entry point to a folder created on the PCD.
I followed instructions on help link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/06/4776399abf4b73945acb8fb4f41473/content.htm
Now, when i try to create a new entry point link to the pcd folder i don´t see any navigation that can get me to the pcd.
Actually When i click the browse button it opens the Web Content folder where i can see 2 subfolders
- Cross-Site Content
- Sites
I also have this options:
- Favorites
- Personal Documents
- Recently used
- Common folders
- Public Documents
None of it seems to be the access to the PCD.
I´ll appreciate any help
Thanks in advance

Hi Sandeep,
i don't know if your problem was solved already.
Here a quick overview of all steps, that you need to perform.
1. Make your PCD available in the KM.( See Link below for details) Your folders need to have 'Read'-Permission for the Everyone-group!
2. Search your iView-folder now in the KM. Look at Details -> Properties -> Access Links -> ID
3. Provide this ID in the wpcDragExplorerEntryPoints . (Should be sharedcontent=/wpccontent/Cross-Site Content;/documents/MyFolder; /pcd)

How to enable keyboard shortcuts for configuration entry point?

Hello All,
In my process model, I have a configuration entry point sequence (sequence). I can able to select the corresponding entry from the menu bar ie. configure --> options (for eg). Now I need to have a keyboard shortcut for the same. In my case if I press (for eg) ctrl+w, the configuration entry point sequence must be called.
Note - I have to do this using .NET programmatically.
Is there any way I can incorporate this mechanism...?
Thanks
Arun

Hello Arun,
At this time there is not anyway to customize the keyboard shortcut keys for menu items you add to the TestStand sequence editor. R&D is looking into implementing this in a future version of TestStand. I'll pass along your feedback to them, and let them know there are others interrested in this feature.

Kind of expression for enabling configuration entry point

I need to enable a configuration entry point not only with the "classic" 'CurrentUserHasPrivilege()' (of Engine obj) expression but also if a certain callback is present in the model client file.
I try to use RunState, ThisContext and Execution objects but without results.
Any suggestion?
Many thanks
Luigi Magni (System Engineer - CTA)

Hi LuigiM,
I set the enabled expression to the following:
PropertyExists("RunState.InitialSelection.SelectedFile.Data.Seq[\"MySequence\"]")
To one of the Configure Entry Point callback sequence in the process model e.g. the Configure Report Option.
As you can see, the Report option will only be enabled if there is a sequence call 'MySequence' in the the active sequencefile.
This seems to work quite well.
The RunState.ProcessModelClient only appears to be available once the SequenceFile is executing.
Hope this helps

Pass Parameter To Configuration Entry Point

In TestStand 2010 I have added a configuration entry point to select a configuration file. (Configure\Select Config File). I'm displaying a LabVIEW GUI which basically prompts the user to select a file. The file path needs to be stored in "FilePath" variable in TestStand.
Problem statement:
1. I'm trying to modularize this configuration entry point. Hence, I would write to "Parameters.FilePath" variable of configuration entry point stored in process model. This variable would be of "pass by reference" type and should eventually update the caller sequence.
However, I don't know how to pass the value from "Parameters.FilePath" to the caller sequence. I'm currently updating the station global variable directly which I think is not the correct method if I think of modularity.
2. I want the configuration entry point that was created ("Select Config File") to be enabled only when testing has not started (I'm just using single pass for my project).
Which variable in TestStand would tell me if the execution entry point "Single Pass" is called or not?

hi bce,
[ If I used a station global, how would my changes be saved? Can you do this programmatically? Is there a better way? ]
When Teststand closes, it automatically saves the StationGlobals. You would use PropertyObjectFile.SaveFileIfModified if you needed to force the save. But you shouldn't really need to do this as the latest value is available to all sequences and sequence files.

Sub-menus Configuration Entry Point

From the configure Menu in Teststand, I want to generate a pop-up or a sub-menu whereby a user can input a time that would be read in by Teststand
sequence. Is this possible? By default, I want the time to be set to 8:00AM, in case of the user not making any selection. How can I go about doing this? I was told that this may be possible via Configuration Entry points in the Sequential Model. Can some experienced forum members shed some light on this matter?

Would they need to set it during every execution? if so then it makes sense to override the Process Setup Callback.
Otherwise, it sounds like you would need to store this to disk somehow. I wrote an example:

I hope you find it helpful.

Calling a Configuration Entry Point from a C# code module

Hi,
Is it possible to call a configuration entry point from a C# code module?
I have a custom process model which creates some configuration entry points.
One of the entry points, calls a C# method in a code module to display a Startup screen for the operator.
In an Editor User Interface, I have added a toolbar, now I want to execute the previous entry point initiated from my C# code to get the Startup screen again when a button is clicked on the toolbar.
Best regards

Hi James,
Thanks for your suggestion, but unfortunely the code hangs after executing the entrypoint, if have tried it in two ways, but both have the same result. Do you have any idea how to fix this.
Trial 1:
 Engine engine = new Engine(); ApplicationMgr applicationMgr = (ApplicationMgr)engine.GetInternalOption(InternalOptions.InternalOption_ApplicationManager);EntryPoints entryPoints = applicationMgr.ConfigurationEntryPoints; int intIndex = 0;foreach (EntryPoint entryPoint in entryPoints) { switch (entryPoint.Name.ToUpper()) { case "TOGGLE ONLINE <-> OFFLINE": object objEditArgs = System.Type.Missing; entryPoint.Run(objEditArgs); // Application hangs after executing this command, the entrypoint does not execute! break; default: break; }
 intIndex++;
Trial 2:
 Engine engine = new Engine(); ApplicationMgr applicationMgr = (ApplicationMgr)engine.GetInternalOption(InternalOptions.InternalOption_ApplicationManager);EntryPoints entryPoints = applicationMgr.ConfigurationEntryPoints; int intIndex = 0;foreach (EntryPoint entryPoint in entryPoints) { switch (entryPoint.Name.ToUpper()) {
 case "TOGGLE ONLINE <-> OFFLINE": // Application hangs after executing next command, the entrypoint does not execute! applicationMgr.GetCommand(CommandKinds.CommandKind_ConfigurationEntryPoints_Set, intIndex).Execute(true); break; default: break; }
 intIndex++;
Best regards

Pass data from configuration entry point

I have a need to post data from a Configuration Entry Point during a Test UUTs execution. I would like to update a parameter in my test sequence, using the configuration entrypoint if the test sequence is actively running in Test UUts. If it's not active, I would update a .ini file which gets read by the process model when a new Test UUTs entrypoint is started.
My first guess has been to determine if the TestUUTs sequence is active, and I have tried using the PropertyObject RunState.ProcessModelClient.IsExecuting, but I just realized the Configuration Entry Point is always running in the process model.
Everything I have read indicates that most Configuration Entry Points just write data to a file. Am I doing something fundamentally wrong?
How do i determine if my sequence file is being executed with TestUUts?
Thanks for your help. Woefully confused,
Brian

Transport KM rooms as entry point for broadcasting from Portal 7.01 to Portal 7.4 possible?

Hallo together,
is it possible to transport entry points (for broadcasting) from one portal to another?
For our upgrade BW 7.01 to BW 7.4 we want to transport the KM Content (including the rooms).
Transporting the rooms and room structures is no problem, but the transported rooms are not visible in ENTRY POINTS -> My Room Folders.
Only rooms that are newly created in the 7.4 Portal are visible in that folder.
Is there are way to make the transported rooms also visible there?
Thanks and best regards!

Hi Ramakrishna!
I know that WP-PI 6.00 will work fine with R/3 4.6C but my doubt is if I can use WP-PI 6.00 (which is
EP 6.00 plug-in) to connect the R/3 4.6c with an EP 7.00.
I didn´t find anything like WP-PI 7.00 in SAP Marketplace. I´ve already read the note you pointed out but it refers to EP 6.00. It also says you can use WP-PI 6.00 por EP 5.0 or Sap Workplace. But can I also use it with EP 7.00?
Thanks for your help.

GetCommand does not return my configuration entry points?

If I'm in a client sequence file and I want to dynamically execute my own configuration entry point in the process model what is the best way to accomplish that?
I am trying to get the application manager through an activex step using Engine.GetInternalOption(InternalOption_ApplicationmManager) and then I choose the GetCommand method with CommandKind_ConfigurationEntryPoints_Set. It will only use an index for one of the 3 default configuration entry points (Report Options, Model Options or Database Options). It throws an index out of range if I try to get my own. This is from James Grey's post here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/Calling-a-Configuration-Entry-Point-from-a-C-code-module/td-p/1... (I'm not in .NET though. I just want to use activex steps in TS). The 3 default ones work perfectly. It's only when I try my own that I've added.
Any thoughts?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I can call it directly as well but it doesn't exhibit the behavior I want.
Basically we have a process model with a Configuration Entry point called About Test. This calls a sub sequence which has 2 steps in it. The first step is a callback and the second is a VI call. The VI displays a splash screen with our company logo, disclosure and the text (usually a software part number) returned by the callback.
What I want to do is put the SequenceFileLoad callback in our clients and have a step in there that will invoke the About Test entry point upon sequence load.
The series would look like this:
SequenceFileLoad(client)>>About Test Configuration Entry Point(model)>>SubSequence(model)>>About Test Model Callback (client)>>VI Splash Screen(model)
All of this would be a lot easier with a (ProcessModelFileLoad): http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand-Idea-Exchange/ProcessModelFileLoad-Engine-Callback/idi-p/225016...
So back to my point about it not working correctly. It doesn't seem to be invoking the model callback when I use New Execution or call the sequence directly.
Also, what is the explanation for my config entry points not showing up at all in the list? it seems that function should grab all config entry points in the model.....
Thanks a bunch,

Creating second InfoView entry point for SAP users in XI 3.1

Hi All,
I have BOE XI 3.1 up and running with the Business Objects Integration kit SAP Solutions kit I would like to create a second infoview entry point for SAP users on the same physical box (single server) as regular InfoView.
I am trying to mock this up and have detailed the following steps below. I suspect I am missing a few steps (for example, where do I specify the entry port?). I am sure step 2 is wrong, as I the desktoplaunch no longer exists in Xi 3.1
1. Copy the InfoView.war file to a new directory ( Program Files/Business Objects/ Business Objects Enterprise 12.0/java/applications/sap). I imagine I would need to rename the war file (say SAPInfoview.war)?
2. Create a xml file with the following logic (the part in bold I consider to be wrong...):
<Context docBase="Program Files\Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 12.0\java\applications\sap\SAPInfoview.war" path="/
businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch"
crossContext="false" debug="0" reloadable="false"
trusted="false"/>
3. Save the xml file (what name? does it matter) in Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\conf\Catalina\localhost
4. Restart Tomcat
5. Change the web.xml to make SAP security the default. But this should not be the regular infoview web.xml. I'm not sure where this would reside.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Ingo,
You've been working with Duncan and Sartaj on this. The client has two set of users: non HR which has no BW or R/3 authorization restrictions, and HR, which has authorization restrictions.
They have deployed SSO using AD for the non HR users. They also want to leverage InfoView rather than the SAP portal. For the HR users, we therefore need to capture the SAP id and password at login time to enforce security at the BW and R/3 levels. We could use the existing Infoview entry point (SSO will fail and they will be prompted for a SAP login). I do remember that we offered a second InfoView entry point for SAP users in XIR2. I thought this may be more elegant.
Thanks,
Steve

Entry points for integrating Openoffice writer into Java swing application

I googled the web and also took a look in below 2 web sites, just seems it is very difficult to get an entry point for me to try my frist application with open office writer integrated with my swing application.
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide
http://api.openoffice.org/
What my question is:
1. Where can I get the completed jar files for using the open office writer api for my java application?
2. Is there any step by step practical example for using the api? It seems that the above links are quite messy and difficult to find an entry point to get a start, but just contain many segments separated through out the web site.
Thanks much for any suggestion.

Entry Point for internal KM links

Hi,
Using a KM Navigation iView (LinkListExplorer Layout Set) I want to add a link to an internal KM document using "Organize Entries" -> Context Menu -> New -> Link. When I press browse I can start browsing from where the link will be inserted, but I want to start browsing for the target "higher" in the KM structure. A shot in the dark was to set the Root Folder for Navigation parameter to where I wanted to start browsing (but this did not help).
Someone got a solution for this, or can point me in the right direction?
best,
Bjorn

Hi,
In the KM Navigation iview you have two parameters:
Path to Initially Displayed Folder: from where you want to navigate.
Path to Root Folder for Navigation: you can leave in blank this field.
When you press Organize Entries, you can only navigate from where you have defined in the iview.
An approach is you can use entry point repositories, when you press browse link button, you are going to see these repositories. These entries are going to appear as Favorites, Personal Documents, Public Document so on.. in More link you see all your entry points.

AD SSO with entry point for SAP users....

A client would like to use Active Directory (AD) Single Sign On rather than SAP for authentication purposes. There are two potential scenarios we would need to support:
Scenario 1, access to SAP BW (General Ledger, Profit Centre Accounting) and relational systems. There would be no security restrictions at the database level (OLAP and relational). The majority of users would access data from this scenario.
Scenario 2, access to HR SAP BW OLAP cube. SAP Security roles would be enforced.
Scenario 1 user and a scenario 2 user are not mutually exclusive. Therefore an HR user could have the rights to query a relational system or a non HR SAP system. Second, not all users in Scenario 1 will have an SAP account, but they will need to access non HR SAP data. Valero does not want to create new SAP accounts for these people.
I see two possible solutions:
1. Create two infoview entry points (eg different ports). One for AD SSO, the other for a SAP challenge and response. We used to have two infoviews in XIR2 when we deployed the SAP integration kit. How would I do this in 3.1?
2. Use Server Side Trust and SNC.
Can anyone offer any opinions of ideas?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
you are correct that SNC for the client authentication and the server side trust (based on SAP Crypto. lib.) will solve this

Entry point for copying room content

Hi ,
We are having a lot of collaboration rooms ,and am thinking if there is
an easy way of transferring content from one room document folder to another
room's document folder. Copying shows some entry points like public documents,
personal documents etc but copying to any of these is not what I need.
Afterwards how can I copy to the respective room document folder which is
identifiable only by a long roomid in KM Content ?It s a long list .
So is it possible to add an entrypoint for our rooms in entrypoint
providers? If so what entry can i have for the provider class?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Vineeth

Hello,
If you want to make a extra entrypoint read the following.
in the help link they describe how you can add one using the entry points provider etc...
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/54/3d754067025537e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Another entry point like solution for your problem could be to make a folder with links to all KM folders you need to link to. You can add a picture to each of these links by picking the properties > settings > rendering tab.
If you change the layoutset of this folder to the entrypoints layoutsset. you have a screen that looks like entry points.
