Filebased or DB-based ContentServer?

Hello Experts,
can you give advices, when to use file-based or database-based?
Is it just better handling-comfort for BackUp and Restore when using MaxDB?
Is this just a choice withing technical-handling issues?
Or are there maybe aspects in handling of customizing-issues, which is not known in Basis-Administration?
I can only find a HowTo #586895 FAQ 4. Creating repositories in the file system
But no aspects for decision finding which way to go.
Maybe you can give advices some?
best regards
tg

Vorteile
Datenmenge
Weitaus besser geeignet für Verwaltung großer Datenmengen (help.sap.com)
Betriebssicherheit
Rollback-Verfahren bei Abbrüchen und Störungen
Administration
Kein SQL nach Systemkopien nötig
Kopieren von Repositories
Problemloses Kopieren von Repositories mit Copy&Paste, Drag&Drop
Installationen
Keine doppelten CS-Installationen mit mehreren Ports nötig, um produktive CS-DBs in q-System CS-DBs restoren zu können
Nachteile
Nicht Point-in-Time recoverbar
bei Restore eines SAP-Systems
a) fehlende Dokumente im CS
b) Leichen im CS, die aus SAP nicht mehr referenziert werden.
Kann aber mit DMS_KPRO_CHECK1 behoben werden.
Immer Probleme beim Kopieren von Repositories
Längere Laufzeit beim Restore im Fall endlos vieler kleiner Dateien

Adding a custom meta data field which lists out content id based on query

How can we add a custom meta data filed which lists out content id based on query like dDocType <matches> `AssociatedProduct`?
Or other alternative would be to have a custom metadata field such that it allows selection of content id using link wizard which we typically use in site studio. It would be preferable to have this second option as it is user friendly. Can we do this on a check-in screen?

Thanks for the reply Deepak.
We got it resolved. We did following changes in /ucm/custom/SiteStudio/resources/ss_custom_field_resources.htm file and it worked cleanly.
Added following section at the end before body tag

ContentServer Managing 3 HardDisks?

Hi,
is it possible to operate a Contentserver (Filebased) that has installed 3 HardDisks? What Customizing has to be done to use all 3 Harddisks for one DMS-System?
Thanks for you Help!

i don't think it is possible to configure using File storage
Since Document gets stored in root directory only.
it can be done by installing three content server in the 3 m/c
or
use content storage using MaxDB
Install MaxDB in three M/c and then Configure Content server using CSADMIN t-code

Creation of a Goods receipt based on an ASN in SRM

Hi,
we want to implement a scenario like this (with SRM 7.0):
1) Requester creates Catalog SC;
2) SC gets approved;
3) PO is created (at this moment we haven't chosen between classic or Extended Classic scenario)
4) Supplier Connects to a Portal (not SRM) and post an ASN in SAP Backend
5) (THIS IS THE QUESTION): is it possible for the Requester (who created the SC) to post (in SRM) a GR based on the ASN that it has been created in SAP?
Additional Info: in this scenario SUS system is not foreseen; only SRM (EBP) and SAP backend system
Thanks

SSO to Microsoft based application

Hi,
I want to enabler SSO from Portal to an ASP application running on IIS 5.0 and Win2k.
I have gone through the document "Using SAP Logon Tickets for SSO to Microsoft based web applications.
I taken the Web Server Filter approach to enable SSO, have downloaded SAPSSOEXT.dll file and added it as a ISAPI filter in IIS server.
Now the doc says "The name of the hhtp header variable can be specified using the parameter remote_user_alias in the filter configuration file".
I have no clue how to go about doing this.
If anyone has done something like this before, please help.
Also please let me know if I am moving in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.
Vivek

Have a look at this document: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webas/def/enabling single sign-on for asp.net applications in enterprise portal 6.article
It describes it in more detail (we used it a bit different, and sent the authentication string as a parameter to a .net webservice and programatically verified it).

Issue with SharePoint foundation 2010 to use Claims Based Auth with Certificate authentication method with ADFS 2.0

I would love some help with this issue. I have configured my SharePoint foundation 2010 site to use Claims Based Auth with Certificate authentication method with ADFS 2.0 I have a test account set up with lab.acme.com to use the ACS.
When I log into my site using Windows Auth, everything is great. However when I log in and select my ACS token issuer, I get sent, to the logon page of the ADFS, after selected the ADFS method. My browser prompt me which Certificate identity I want
to use to log in and after 3-5 second
and return me the logon page with error message “Authentication failed”
I base my setup on the technet article

This is perfectly correct on my case I was not adding the root properly you must add the CA and the ADFS as well, which is twice you can see below my results.
on my case was :

how can i make this as an parameter?

Hi Prashant,
Subqueries are not Supported in Conditions..As of Disco Plus Rel 10.1.2.54.25
A plausible workaround can be:
1. Create a View with foll. Query
create or replace view TEST_VIEW as
select hpah.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER emp_no,hpah.FIRST_NAME,hpah.LAST_NAME,hpah.PERSON_NAME,
--hpah.JOB_NAME,hpah.ASSIGNMENT_ORGANIZATION_NAME,
hpah.ASSIGNMENT_TYPE,hpah.USER_ASSIGNMENT_STATUS,
SUBSTR(pj.name, 1, instr(pj.name, '.', 1, 2) -1) job_code,
SUBSTR(pj.name, instr(pj.name, '.', 1, 2) + 1) job_title,
(select haou.ATTRIBUTE1 from hr_all_organization_units haou
where haou.ORGANIZATION_ID = hpah.ASSIGNMENT_ORGANIZATION_ID ) Function,
(select haou.ATTRIBUTE2 from hr_all_organization_units haou
where haou.ORGANIZATION_ID = hpah.ASSIGNMENT_ORGANIZATION_ID ) org_desc,
SUBSTR(hpah.ASSIGNMENT_ORGANIZATION_NAME, 1, 6) dept_code,
SUBSTR(hpah.ASSIGNMENT_ORGANIZATION_NAME, 7, LENGTH(hpah.ASSIGNMENT_ORGANIZATION_NAME)) dept_title,
hpah.GRADE_NAME,hpah.LOCATION_NAME,hpah.SUPERVISOR_NAME,
hpah.PERSON_START_DATE,hpah.ORIGINAL_DATE_OF_HIRE ,
hpah.SALARY_BASIS,hpah.BUSINESS_GROUP_ID,hpah.ASSIGNMENT_ID,
decode( hpah.SALARY_BASIS, 'ANNUAL', ppp.proposed_salary_n,
'HOURLY', (ppp.proposed_salary_n *2080),
ppp.proposed_salary_n
) salary,
sysdate run_date
from
hrfg_person_assignment_history hpah ,
per_pay_proposals ppp,
per_pay_bases ppb,
per_grades pg,
per_jobs pj
where hpah.ASSIGNMENT_ID = ppp.ASSIGNMENT_ID
and hpah.SALARY_BASIS = ppb.PAY_BASIS
and hpah.BUSINESS_GROUP_ID = ppb.BUSINESS_GROUP_ID
and hpah.GRADE_ID = pg.GRADE_ID(+)
and hpah.JOB_ID = pj.JOB_ID (+)
--and hpah.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER = 100779
order by hpah.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER
2. Create another table say TEST_TAB
create table TEST_TAB (emp_no, start_dt) as
SELECT hpah2.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER , MAX(hpah2.PERSON_START_DATE) PERSON_START_DATE
FROM hrfg_person_assignment_history hpah2
GROUP BY hpah2.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER
3. Add both of them in Disco Admin and create a join between TEST_VIEW.emp_no and TEST_TAB.emp_no
4. Bring both these Objects in a new report in Disco Plus
5. Create a New Parameter (Base it on PERSON_START_DATE Col of TEST_TAB)
6. Choose Option Create Condition with operator <=
7. Checkmark "Require User to Enter a Value
8. Execute Report
I believe this should work. Either ways let me know if it helps or u get another workaround. (This scenario looks quite interesting)
Thanks,
Chinmay

BW:Inventory stock Report issue based on Vendor and PO number

Dear Guru's.
Requirement is to report different inventory stock's (Total Stock, blocked stock, stock in transit..etc) based on plant, material, storage location, vendor and purchase order in BW.
For Example:
Plant
material
Stock in Transit
Total Stock
1000
50000001
0,00
100kg
1000
50000002
500kg
600kg
If we drag the Vendor or Purchase Order Number into the report, Data gets Splitted into +ve (Inflow) and -Ve(Outflow) values.
For Example:
Plant
material
Vendor
Purchase Order
Stock in Transit
Total Stock
1000
50000001
54545
567896
+300 kg
+400kg
1000
50000001
-300kg
-300kg
1000
50000002
54549
567899
+900kg
+800kg
1000
50000002
-400kg
-200kg
I Think this is because no vendor assigned to outflow data. this is my guess i don't have much knowledge on MM. i have tried to restrict the keyfig's with stock category, but for most of the vendors or PO 's its unassigned.
But we need the data in single as follows. can any one suggest me any steps to achieve this in BI or BO.
Plant
material
Vendor
Purchase Order
Stock in Transit
Total Stock
1000
50000001
54545
567896
0,00
100 kg
1000
50000002
54549
567899
500 kg
600kg
Thanks in Advance,
Dev

Hi Sheshu and hi Srinu
Already tried constant selection but it did not helped, the same keyfigure value is displayed in all the rows.
that means the total stock value is repeated for all the vendors for a particular material.
For example:
Plant
material
Vendor
Purchase Order
Stock in Transit
Total Stock
1000
50000001
54545
567896
0,00 kg
+400kg
1000
50000001
54546
567898
0,00 kg
400kg
1000
50000001
0,00 kg
400kg
1000
50000002
54549
567899
+900kg
+800kg
1000
50000002
+ 900 kg
+ 800 kg
Regarding the BO settings, i need to try it.
Any more suggestions will be much more helpful.
Thanks and Regards, Sri

MRP - Auto creation of del schedule lines based on planned delivery time

Hi,
We have activated MRP (type PD) where Purchase requiesition is auto created by system for requirement quantity. We require to optimize delivery schedule in such a way that entire PR quantity is broken into various delivery schedule based on planned delivery time and requirement. Scenario can be further explained with following example.
Material Requirement for a month is say 1,25,000 units
Closing Stock say 25,000 units
PR Generated by system for 1,00,000 units. The entire quantity is schdulled with only one delivery schedule line as per planned delivery time.
The requirement is to generate multiple delivery schedule lines automatically in Purchase requisition based on planned delivery time so that Purchase orders can be placed with system generated delivery schedule lines.
How can it be achieved ?
Regards,
Nirav Kinkhabwala

Nirav,
This subject has been discussed repeatedly in this and other forums. I must assume that you overlooked the rules of engagement, which state that you should first search the forums and other public sites, before posting questions here.
Standard SAP MRP cannot be made to generate multiple items in a Purchase requisition. The functionality you seek is usually achieved when converting purchase reqs to Purchase orders, where many single purchase reqs can be adopted into a single Purchase order.
You also might want to investigate use of Vendor Scheduling agreements.
Best Regards,

How can I pubish SWF interactive magazine to flash based website? It's not working!

I hope someone can help me launch my first interactive magazine (SWF) to our website with ID 5. Okay, my hard copy mag came out great so then I started on the interactive edition. Everything was going swell with adding 3 short videos ( FLV ) and creating 3 slide shows. When I previewed it by exporting to SWF I could preview it in my browser fine. Page curls, fade in words (although the “hide until animated” options only works in two out of about 7 instances. (same settings) file:///C:/Users/lauralaptop/Documents/NEW%20PUBLICATION%20QUARTERLY%20JOURNAL%202011%20se pt%202/LIFE%20apr-may-june%202011%201st%20issue%20INTERACTIVE%20TRYOUT%20Aug%2031%204pm.ht ml
I then followed instructions from another Adobe exercise, exported it to Flash, went to Publish Settings, but of course when I pressed “publish” I didn’t get the same result as the teacher…I got an error message about text. I searched a forum with the same message I got and saw that making sure my text setting was set for Classic, solved someone else’s problem. So I did and was able to “publish”. But now, when I open either the SWF or HTML file, it’ just rapidly repeating the 12 pages in my file in a loop!
file:///C:/Users/lauralaptop/Desktop/LIFE%20apr-may-june%202011%201st%20issue%20INTERACTIV E%20TRYOUT%20Aug%2031%204pm.html
I have spent most of the summer self teaching myself InDesign CS5 (not easy!) and am excited to be able to put out an interactive SWF file that can be opened in a Flash player through our Flash based website. I feel like I’m just inches away for launch but now I’m getting frustrated. Isn’t this going to be possible?
Also, when I publish it in Flash, it creates a SWF file AND an HTML file. But on our website, I have only one option to make a link to a document OR an outside link to open a file. How does that work?
Many thanks for whoever can help me out here. This was supposed to be a spring issue. Had to change it to summer and now I guess it’s a fall launch!

Thank you for your quick reply, Rob. Well, i can't open the link you gave me to mysite (got a 404 error), could you resend it?
Originally, I exported the file to SWF (player) and just tried to link that file from our flash based website. It opens fine, page curls fine, slide shows fine, but when you click on the photos with videos, page 5 (father and baby) and two others, the image disappears and only a white comes up to fill that area.
http://scpres.org/#/media-sermons-online/our-publications. Could you go to this link on our website to see what I mean? Go to the NEWSBREAK TRANSFORMS and click on the Life, Stories of Transformation.
Rob, here is where i have very limited knowledge: As I said we use a flash based (read very user friendly) web hosting company. When I am in the back end to upload the swf file, I have only one option - "attach a video, attach a document, attach a link" so how would I upload a "folder" with more than one item to the server?
I thought it would be considered a video since the SWF file says SWF movie, but when I when i try to upload as a video, it doesn't come up as importable. (am i sounding really stupid?) Maybe I should admit that yes, I'm an ID5 newbie AND yes, I'm no spring chicken but I have been working in CS2,3,4 for several years and now 5 and am quite proficient in the create aspect of Adobe products. It's just now the technical part about how to actually get my in work published to the site.There isn't anyone else in my company able to help me so I have to reach out to this forum!
I love ID and this is just my first effort but I'm looking forward to creating many more interactive magazines for my company.
Thanks for any help.

How to create a report based on a DataSet programatically

I'm working on a CR 2008 Add-in.
Usage of this add-in is: Let the user choose from a list of predefined datasets, and create a totally empty report with this dataset attached to is. So the user can create a report based on this dataset.
I have a dataset in memory, and want to create a new report in cr2008.
The new report is a blank report (with no connection information).
If I set the ReportDocument.SetDataSource(Dataset dataSet) property, I get the error:
The report has no tables.
So I must programmatically define the table definition in my blank report.
I found the following article: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/869, and came up with something like this:
internal class NewReportWorker : Worker
      public NewReportWorker(string reportFileName)
         : base(reportFileName)
public override void Process()
         DatabaseController databaseController = ClientDoc.DatabaseController;
         Table table = new Table();
         string tabelName = "Table140";
         table.Name = tabelName;
         table.Alias = tabelName;
         table.QualifiedName = tabelName;
         table.Description = tabelName;
         var fields = new Fields();
         var dbField = new DBField();
         var fieldName = "ID";
         dbField.Description = fieldName;
         dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
         dbField.Name = fieldName;
         dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
         fields.Add(dbField);
         dbField = new DBField();
         fieldName = "IDLEGITIMATIEBEWIJS";
         dbField.Description = fieldName;
         dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
         dbField.Name = fieldName;
         dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
         fields.Add(dbField);
         // More code for more tables to add.
         table.DataFields = fields;
         //CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo info =
         //   new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo();
         //info.Attributes.Add("Databse DLL", "xxx.dll");
         //table.ConnectionInfo = info;
         // Here an error occurs.
         databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
         ReportDoc.SetDataSource( [MyFilledDataSet] );
         //object path = @"d:\logfiles\";
         //ClientDoc.SaveAs("test.rpt", ref path, 0);
The object ClientDoc referes to a ISCDReportClientDocument in a base class:
   internal abstract class Worker
      private ReportDocument _ReportDoc;
      private ISCDReportClientDocument _ClientDoc;
      private string _ReportFileName;
      public Worker(string reportFileName)
         _ReportFileName = reportFileName;
         _ReportDoc = new ReportDocument();
         // Load the report from file path passed by the designer.
         _ReportDoc.Load(reportFileName);
         // Create a RAS Document through In-Proc RAS through the RPTDoc.
         _ClientDoc = _ReportDoc.ReportClientDocument;
      public string ReportFileName
         get
            return _ReportFileName;
      public ReportDocument ReportDoc
         get
            return _ReportDoc;
      public ISCDReportClientDocument ClientDoc
         get
            return _ClientDoc;
But I get an "Unspecified error" on the line databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
What am i doing wrong? Or is there another way to create a new report based on a DataSet in C# code?

Hi,
Have a look at the snippet code below written for version 9 that you might accommodate to CR 2008, it demonstrates how to create a report based on a DataSet programmatically.

Training and Event Management Implementation based on competencies

Dear Friends,
My client is going ahead for Training and Event Managment Implementation. They have a basic requirement to start with and that is :
1) They have done competency mapping for all its employees and they want that the competencies of each employees(along with the skill levels) to be recorded in the system and that has to be the starting point of using Training and Event Management module.
2) They want, if the competencies can flow based on Job/ Position.
3) Some identifier to the competencies, whther it has flowed from Appraisal or any other sources in the Final Training Needs.
Kindly provide me help, as to how I will be able to achieve that and in what Infotypes the data pertaining to Training and Event Managment will be stored.
If u all can kindly share with me the User Manuals and Configuration Docs of Training and Event Management, it will be of great help.
Thank you all.

Hi,
Competencies can be stored as qualifications in PD and then by activation of PD PA intergration can be seen from pa30 infotype 24.
Qualifications can be stored against a Job/Position and are called as the Requirements. They are seen as a separate Tab and to which ever position the person is linked to the corresponding qualifications of the position will appear in the requirements tab.
You can maintain the proficiency and a note along with the qualification when assigned to a person.
Also Appraisals can have qualifications in the template rather than criteria and criteria groups.
Also after training is completed during the follow up we can create an appraisal and transfer the qualifications or simply transfer the qualifications to the employee.
Regards,
Divya

How to build the members in essbase based on levels using EAL

Hi All,
How to restrict the members to build the in essbase based on levels using EAL.
I've requirement, in one dimension, needs to build the one level1 member as level0 in essbase.
please let me know the procedure, if any one implemented or face similar.
Thanks in advance,
Kiran

there's no such functionality in EAL to create Essbase outlines based on levels. the only workaround to this is to use Mapping tables:
1- create the dimension in essbase with the desired HFM level 1 members as level 0.
2- set this specific dimension to mapping in your design grid within your EAL Bridge
3- create the SQL Mapping table and start mapping those members from HFM to Essbase.

How can I convert an outlook pst file to mac mail without using a windows based computer

I recently bought the new iMac as my older Windows based computer crashed with a bad motherboard. I have been trying to find a way to convert Outlook 2007 pst files to Mac Mail without the need to use a Windows based computer since all I have now is a Mac. I have the copies of the pst files on my Mac, so I am looking for the most efficient way to convert them to the format that I can then open them in the Mac Mail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi - thanks for the instructions but where do you get the option for Quicktime. If I do File - Export I only get the options for File name, place and size but no option that allows to select quicktime:-(
Have you got any more tips?

Is there a way to create a collection based on the "previous import"?

is there a way to create a collection based on the "previous import"? that would make it easy to mobile sync the last import to my ipad, and do further picking/rejecting while away from my laptop.

well, yes, of course i could do it that way. i guess i wasn't specific enough. is there a way to create a smart collection, with the photos in the "previous import" as members of the smart collection. earlier i mentioned about using this smart collection to mobile sync with my ipad, to do further flagging.
so my intention, use a smart collection to mobile sync with my ipad, and the smart collection to include the photos from my previous import.
i guess another way to ask the question, is there a way to create a smart collection, by using some rule or condition in the smart collection, to automatically include previous import photos.
the documentation says that "previous import" is a collection, even though it shows up in the catalogue side bar section. but i see no way to choose that collection when making a smart collection.
