File System Repository Errors

Hello All-
I'm having a puzzling time trying to set up a file repository. My portal (EP6, SP14) is sitting on Unix box. I am attempting to connect to a NAS as a windows share. I've added the windowsKM system in system landscape and I've added the corresponding KM landscape. I then added an network path pointed to
<IP>\Share, set jCIFS and used Domain/User as my password. I've then set up my repository, making sure the localroot matches the network path. To minimize variables, I'm just using ACLManager, not Windows ACL, to keep things simple.
I believe I've followed all the steps as specified in the manual. But no luck. I keep getting the following types of errors. Either "Startup Error: The localroot does not exist: /usr/sap/EPD/JC02/j2ee/cluster/server0/
15.233.66.264\portshare" or "getting mapped math - java.io.IOException: Canonical path not available for portshare." (I'm getting that when I use the UNC).
Does anyone recognize these errors and can point me to where I'm going wrong? I've dug through the logs and message board and I can't find anything obvious.
Plenty of points awarded for any and all helpful answers!
Thanks-
Jim Orbin

Hi James,
Would like to clarify few points..
a. Does your share "
15.233.66.264\portshare" refer a different unix machine or the same machine ?
Same Machine: If this is the case, you need not provide the "IP Address" and other stuff. You can directly provide the actual path eg: /usr/docs
Different Machine: Pointing the repository to other unix systems gives some problems. Does your Unix box have GUI mode. If so, a way to solve this..
You will have a NFS (Network File Share) tool available. Use this tool and create a Network file share.
Steps:
1. Launch the NFS Server link from NFS tool and create a share in the Machine which hosts the docs. This machine is to act as the "NFS Server"
2. Now go the Portal server.
3. Here, launch the NFS Client link from the NFS tool and create a link to the share in the source machine which hosts the docs.
4. Now, all the source docs from the host machine will be available in your portal server as a network share folder .
ie.Documents under //machine 2/docs will be available in portal server under /usr/docs as a link.
5. Now give the local path ie. /usr/docs in your repository config.
The File System Repository will now work fine with no trouble in locating the folder in the same machine.
Hope this helps. Pls get back if you still face issues.
Regards,
Venkat.

File System repository error in component monitor

Hi,
I created a file system repository in our portal server which will connect to windows file system and display the folder structure.
I created a File system repository manager with the following properties mentioned below
Prefix (must start with /): /FMICDelaers
Lookup mode: caseless
Root Directory:
fendercorp\FMICDelaers
Repository Services:
Property Search Manager:
Security Manager: W2kSecurityManager
ACL Manager Cache:ca_rsrc_acl
Windows Landscape System: B2B_Windows
I have given full acees to everyone for FMICDealers folder on fendercorp server.
We have created a networkpath called B2B_windows as mentioned below
jCIFS Protocol: yes
Description:

Hi
A general recommendation would be to use small letters in all ID's regardring network drives, repositories etc. See https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/002fb447-d670-2910-67a5-bfbbf0bb287d for advice on how to optimize performance of KM.
Other than that, you could check the documentation mentioned here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/message?messageID=6398301#6398301
It seems as the root directory in your File System Repository Manager is not defined correctly. It should be forward slash instead of backslash.
Go through the settings again and see if the startup error changes or disappears. The startup error indecated that it is a configuration error.

Error in configuring Windows File System Repository

Hi All,
While trying to configure Windows File system repository we are getting the following error
1. Getting this error when we give
<ip address>\<shared folder name>
Startup Error: The localroot does not exist:
10.1.100.44\Shared_folder
2. Getting this error when we give
<ip address>
Startup Error: host is unkown in file path '
10.1.100.44' - invalid network path:
10.1.100.44
Could any one help in solving this issue.
Regards,
Sravanthi

Hi Chiluveru Sravanthi
According to the documentation, there is a difference between the path syntax for the repository manager and the network path. Did you pay attention to this difference when doing your configurations?
Network paths (Network Path)
Specifies the path to the Windows remote server.
The path consists of the IP address of the Windows remote server, and a path specification.
For example,
192.168.0.1share
Alternatively, you can enter the UNC name and path of the server, for example,
servershare.
SAP recommends that you specify the IP address, since you can then check the availability of the server more easily, using the ping command.
Note: It is not sufficient to enter the server name alone. Specifications in the form of c$ cannot be resolved either.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/63/7f283ac3d7c54b94964931fa1b4ed9/frameset.htm
File System Repository Manager (Root Directory)
This denotes the path to the root directory in the file system to which the repository manager is assigned.
If you want to integrate documents from a Windows system, this can be a drive letter (followed by a colon) or directory path on the local server or a remote server share (for example, //myserver/myshare/somedir).
If you are running your portal on UNIX and want to access the file system on another UNIX host, you must mount the required directory on the portal server.
Example path when using a UNIX system:
/usr/company/share
The repository manager is responsible for the specified directory and all its subdirectories.
Note that multiple repository manager configurations are not allowed to have the same subpath in their Localroot parameter.

Access Denied when access to File System Repository

Hi,
Our SAP Portal install in Windows 2003, and access to a unix's file system that created from File System Repository of Portal. When I access it in KM content, SAP Portal return the following message:
System Error
An exception occurred during the program execution. Below you will find technical information pertaining to this exception that you might want to forward to your system administrator.
Exception Class: class com.sapportals.wcm.repository...
Exception Message: Access denied
If I double-click any file,
IE return 403: The requested operation is forbidden for this resource.
Please help me to fix this problem?
PS: The unix's file system mode is 777.
The permission of folder in Portal File System Repository is everyone full control.

Hi,
to my knowledege, this combination is not supported. You can integrated Windows-File-Shares in a Unix-Portal: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ed/b334ea02a2704388d1d2fc3e4298ad/frameset.htm but not the other way round

File System Repository problem

Hello guys,
I'm on:
J2EE Engine 6.40 PatchLevel 98256.313
Portal 6.0.14.0.0
KnowledgeManagementCollaboration 6.0.14.4.0 (NW04 SPS14 Patch 4)
running on a Windows machine.
I'm trying to set up a File System Repository to connect to a remote share on another Windows machine. I followed the documentation and also some hints here from SDN and still can't connect to the share.
In component monitor it says:
Startup Error: The localroot does not exist:

In a trace log I'm getting this:

I had an idea that it could be because of the Serverlet Engine User, which is set up due to documentation, but is only a local user not a domain user. I don't know to which extent this user is important for FS Mount Service. I thought, that for connecting to a remote share, there is only important the user and password set up in Network Path settings in CM.
Changing the user on which is EP running is quite a difficult step due to our security policies and so on. So I would rather not experiment with this until I try all the other possibilities.
Could you, please, give me some advice?

Hi Jiri,
have you used double forward slashes in your network path? Please try: //10.80.1.55/Test_portal
You can also test from the portal machine that you can mount the drive via command shell:
"net use t:
10.80.1.55\Test_portal /user:DOMAIN\USER"
(make sure you specify the user with domain)
Hope this helps,
Robert

Unable to create File System Repository manager

Hello,
I would like to create File System Repository manager to this path: I have mapped a certain Network drive "
main-uni-fs1\pictures$" to the Portal Machine and under this machine it appears as drive "N:\", inside it there is a picture folder which I would like to create the mapping to. I tried setting the "Root Directory" value to "N:\" and to "
main-uni-fs1\pictures$" but I keep receiving an error message at the Repository Component Monitor (see below).
10X,
Roy

Hello Roy,
1> Create a new path that points to the pictures directory on the system. Enter the path lik
mypc.myorg.com\pictures
Under Sys admin -> Sys Config -> KM -> Content MGT -> Global Services -> Network path
Under the user name and password, enter your username and password
username whould be entered like domainname\username
2>Then create a system in for the mypc.myorg.com server under
Sys admin -> Sys Config -> KM -> Content MGT -> Global Services -> System landscape definitions -> System -> Windows Sytem.
(Assuming u are acessing a windows sytem from a portal running on windows platform).
You need to enter system id and description . Kindly remember the system id, since it would be useful in two places while usermapping and creating the file system repository.
3>create a file system rep mgr under
Sys admin -> Sys Config -> KM -> Content MGT -> Repository Managers > File System Repository
Following properties are most important.
Name , ACL manager cache, Security manager(which you would have to set to W2kSecurity manager)
prefix(this is the folder name that you will identify your repository with) Widws landscape System (this is the sytem id of step 2) and root directory (network path of first step only in this case enter it like this //mypc.myorg.com/pictures)
4>Then under user mapping section, you will find you system (the system id of second step) , enter your name as password.
Initially when you configure your rep manager, you dont need to start ur servlet engine. If you modify any property then you need to re start ur servlet engine.
These are the steps for creating repository
If this still does not get resolved. Then kindly read the limitations of creating the file system repository manager in the link that I had posted in my earlier post.
Thanks and Regards

Unable to create File System Repository using Network Path

Hi All,
I am trying to create a File System Repository.
I created a networkpath and windows system and used the same while creating File Repository according to the steps in help.
With out using Networkpath(i.e.,If I use IP address,I am able to create File System Repository).
But with the network path,it throws the following error as seen in Component Monitor.
Startup Error: The localroot does not exist: C:\usr\sap\IGTE\j2ee\j2ee_00\cluster\server\NWP_001
My network path is NWP_001

Did any one face this problem?
Any help please........
Rgds,
Santhosh

Hi,
I am getting the same error even if I replace(\) by slashes(/).
I tried on EP6SP12 as well as EP6SP2 and got the same error on both.
The repository is searching for a folder named with
n/w path on the portal server itself(i.e, it is searching in the following folder
C:\usr\sap\IGTE\j2ee\j2ee_00\cluster\server\NWP_001
My network path is NWP_001),instead of searching on the remote system.
Can any one help me in solving the problem
Thanks in Advance.

File System Repository

Hi all,
I want to create the file system repository for my system .
Here is what i have done.
Created a directory on my local machine and shared it giving the folder full access.
Created a system in CM and system configuration (KM windows system) and I have done user Mapping
Created Network path and I have given my user name and pwd in that.
While creating the file system repository I have given Windows Landscape System as what I have given in CM and Security Manager as W2ksecurity Manager.
But it shows the following error in component Monitoring.
Startup error: The local root does not exist:
172.25.12.154\smilies
I have reffered the following link
[Integrating Documents from a Windows System into KM |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ed/b334ea02a2704388d1d2fc3e4298ad/frameset.htm]
What is the problem? Whether I have missed anything ?
Thanks & Regards,
Hemalatha J

Hi Hema,
1. Does the User specified in Network Path have full access to specified folder?
2. Check the Host within URL Generator Service (Content Management -> Global Services -> URL Generator Service)
3. Check your KM-Windows System (User Mapping Type = admin,user?)
4. Did you define an Alias for you KM-Windows System? The Property Windows Landscape System within the FileSystem Repository must point to the Alias name of your KM-Windows System
Best regards,
Denis

File System repository manager

Note: EP and Share Drive are on the same domain.

Hello sm,
You can monotor your repository manager cofiguration, whther it has been activated or not.
It should show in green symbol if it has been correctly configured and active.
Goto system Admin>monitoring>KM>Component monitor>Repository managers-->Check ur repository.... Green color indicate is working fine...
Red color indicate error...
you can check your configuration for the repository.
Example configuration of a UNIX file system repository manager:
Name = fs_rep_unix
Localroot = /usr/company/share
Prefix = /company-share-unix
Read Only = deactivated
Send Events = activated
Repository Services = properties, rating
ACL Manager Cache = ca_rsrc_acl
Security Manager = AclSecurityManager
You can check your Local root i.e. your Root directory. The format should be correct as given in the example.
Don't foget to appreciate, if helpful!!!

Problem with File System Repository after release change

Hello,
we have been changing the Portal release from EP 6.0 to SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 SP17. The OS of the host is Windows 2003 Server.
If I open the component monitor to watch the repostitories, the state of the file system repositories are red and a error message occurred:
Startup Error: getting mapped math - Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password
I checked the logon credentials....they are ok. Also I checked the access from the Portalhost to the Windows File System....it´s ok too.
In our previous portal release the FSR were ok!!
Is there a difference between the file system repository configuration in portal 6.0 and portal 7.0?
Thanks and regards
Tom

Hello Hussain,
I have checked the username and the password of the user who have full access on the Windows file system, but the same error occurred. In the Network Path we have configured a domain user for the file system access. Here is the configuration of the network path:
Name: Test
Description: Test
Networkpath:
Host\share
Password: ****
Re-enter Password: ****
User: domain\user
Here the configuration of the repository:
Name: Test
Description: Test
Prefix: /Test
Lookup Mode: caseless
Root Directory:
Host\share
Repository Services: Nothing
Property Search Manager: com.sapportals.wcm.repository.manager.generic.search.SimpleManagerSearchManager
Security Manager: AclSecurityManager
ACL Manager Cache: ca_cm_rep_acl
Windows Landscape System: Microsoft_Windows_KM
Read only: unchecked
Could it be that I need a user mapping for the access of the windows file system?
Perhaps the configuration of the Windows Landscape System is wrong?
regards
Tom

File System Repository - using DFS path

Hi, I want to integrate a windows share through a DFS (distributed file system) path. I only found this thread about DFS support where Marcel Rabe says that they have connected KM to a Microsoft based DFS.
Has anybody else managed to use a windows share through a dfs path?
I've created a network path where I have configured the dfs path with the correct user and password. I've provided the domain for the user like this:
domain\username
Then I've created a File System Repository where I have defined the same dfs path as Root directory. I use AclSecurityManager but I've also tried to change it to "not set".
The Component Monitor shows the following error:
Startup Error: getting mapped math - Access is denied
But I know that the username and password are correct.
Any ideas?

Hi Marcel,
that's exactly the problem we are experiencing with the same setup and same error-message.
Did you manage to resolve the problem? I'm gratefull for any hint.

Alexander

Creating File System Repository for a remote system

Hi Experts,
My requirement is that I need to create a KM repository in EP from where I need to upload documents into the BW system. Is File System Repository the right type of repository which I need to create for this purpose?
If yes, then in what format do I have to specify the value of the Root Directory property of the repository? I have a folder /data/docs created in the BW system within which I want to upload documents using this repository. But since this folder is located on the BW system which is a remote system for EP, I am not sure how I have to enter the path to this folder.
Can anyone give me any hints on this?
Warm Regards,
Saurabh

Hello Saurabh,
I don't think an FS repository is what you are looking for in this scenario, you could instead use a BI Repository Manager, for more information see:

File system task error ; Access to the path " " is denied

HI All,
I have created a simple package to copy xml files from multiple source folders to destination folder.
Folder names and paths are stored in a sql table. I use execute sql taks to get folder and path names. set the restult set to full result set in the execute sql task.
Then for each loop is used to loop through each file name. File system taks is inside the for each loop. Destination vairable and source varable were created and assigned them inthe file system task.
But I am getting an error message.
[File System Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Access to the path '\\cor\Groups\DN\Share2\Servicing \RESPONSE_FILES\Services' is denied.".
But I am able to do this if i design the package to move just one file. i.e without using variables. I get the error message only when I use variables.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this please?
Thanks
shamen

How to give the access please.
Ramu Gade
Login using a sysadmin account
Go to the folder right click security and you've the option to add new account. You should give account write access if you want to copy files to folder.
