Filtering of documents in KM

Hi,
I have created a repository in km, say, documents/demodocs in which user1 and user2 can add the documents. But the documents added by user1 should not be visible to user2 and vice-versa.
How can I achieve this ?
Helpful answers will be rewarded.
Regards,
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
You didn't mention the 90000 users...
How about this, perhaps is a little tricky .. but...:
1. create a folder for example /docs/test
2. create a group yourGroup, and add all the users to that group.
3. In the KM Content give ownership permission to that group over the folder test, you have to remove any detail and permission command from any Navigation iView that users have access to, because of course they can change the permissions over the folder test if you let them.
4. Develop your own upload program
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/1750In
5. Once the file is uploaded, inside the same program, first create a new acl, the document inherits the acl from the parent folder, so add the user as owner and remove the group.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/1070413a-29e7-2a10-cc81-cdc92cdd231b
like this
IUMPrincipal groupToBeRemoved =WPUMFactory.getGroupFactory().getGroup("yourGroup");
          ISecurityManager sm = resource.getRepositoryManager(). getSecurityManager(resource);
          if(sm != null && (sm instanceof IAclSecurityManager)) {
               IAclSecurityManager asm = (IAclSecurityManager)sm;
               IResourceAclManager ram = asm.getAclManager();
               IResourceAcl ra = ram.getAcl(resource);
               if(ra == null){
                    ra = ram.createAcl(resource);
                    ra.addOwner(resource.getContext().getUser());
                    ra.removeOwner(groupToBeRemoved);
Now, You have a folder with documents from different users, user A can't see files from user B, but in the upload program you have to take special care about the names of the files to upload. If user A wants to upload the file name foo.txt and the user B already did upload a file with that name, your program gonna generate an
NameAlreadyExistsException.
Hope this help...

Oracle Text - Problem with filtering binary documents (.doc, .pdf, etc...)

Hi, I have a problem with filtering binary documents (.doc, .pdf, etc...). I use SQL*PLUS for remote access to Oracle 10.2 on Linux and I create table:
CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, text VARCHAR2(100));
I insert to this table:
INSERT into test values(1, 'PATH/text1.doc‘);
INSERT into test values(2,'PATH/text2.doc‘);
and then:
CREATE INDEX test_index ON test(text) indextype is ctxsys.context
parameters (’datastore ctxsys.file_datastore
filter ctxsys.auto_filter’);
Message "Index created" is displayed, but objects: DR$test_index$I, DR$test_index$K, DR$test_index$N, DR$test_index$R and DR$test_index$P are empty => index wasn´t created probably.
I don´t know, where is bug, either bug is somewhere in this code or on the server (wrong installation oracle or constraint privileges). Do you know in what is bug?

The following is an excerpt from the 10g online documentation. Note the items that I have put in bold.
"FILE_DATASTORE
The FILE_DATASTORE type is used for text stored in files accessed through the local file system.
Note:
FILE_DATASTORE may not work with certain types of remote mounted file systems.
FILE_DATASTORE has the following attribute(s):
Table 2-4 FILE_DATASTORE Attributes
Attribute Attribute Value
path path1:path2:pathn
path
Specify the full directory path name of the files stored externally in a file system. When you specify the full directory path as such, you need only include file names in your text column.
You can specify multiple paths for path, with each path separated by a colon (:) on UNIX and semicolon(;) on Windows. File names are stored in the text column in the text table.
If you do not specify a path for external files with this attribute, Oracle Text requires that the path be included in the file names stored in the text column.
PATH Attribute Limitations
The PATH attribute has the following limitations:
If you specify a PATH attribute, you can only use a simple filename in the indexed column. You cannot combine the PATH attribute with a path as part of the filename. If the files exist in multiple folders or directories, you must leave the PATH attribute unset, and include the full file name, with PATH, in the indexed column.
On Windows systems, the files must be located on a local drive. They cannot be on a remote drive, whether the remote drive is mapped to a local drive letter."
With accessible paths and files, you get something like:
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, text VARCHAR2(100));
Table created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT into test values(1,'c:\oracle11g\banana.pdf');

1 row created.

Table created.

Question about metadata filtering and document sets

Hello,
I have a question about the metadata filtering when using document sets.
When i use the metadata filter for example for "Installatie: P00001" it shows.
But i wan't to show only the document set and not all the documents. Is this possible OOTB?

Hi striker,
You can add the "Content Type" in Hierarchy Fields for your list, then click the "Document Set" to filter the document set type item, then you can input the "P00001" in Installatle key filter, click apply, then it should show only document set
items with field value P00001.

Filtering in Document Count

Hi,
I have a doubt on Query.
I need to display the Count of Closed and Pending service Orders in the report.
I have info Object 0CRM_USSTAT which contains all the status of the Service Orders.
Based on the document "How to Get the Document Count in a Query using Formula Variable with Processing Type Replacement Path", I can able to count the Service Orders. But i need to display the count only for Closed Service Orders and Pending Service Orders.
Can u pls provide what are the steps i need to perform.
Thanks,
Shahina A

Hi Shahina,
How to Get the Document Count in a Query using Formula Variable with Processing Type Replacement Path :
Pre-requisites:
Document Number (Purchase Order/Sales Order Number) should have been included as a characteristic in the Info Cube. It can be defined as a Line Item dimension for better Query performance.
Summary
In some business scenarios, it may be required to find out the document count for analyzing certain Key Performance Indicators (For example Number of Orders in a given period). This article illustrates the steps to get the Document Count in a Query using Formula variable with processing type as Replacement path. This article also brings forth one of the major differences between Calculated Key Figure and New Formula.
Create a New Calculated Key Figure
The first step is to create a New Calculated Key figure for the Number of Documents/Orders.
Open Query Designer.
Create a new query or open an existing Query.
Drag and drop the required Characteristics and Key figures to the rows and columns depending on your business-reporting requirement.
From the context menu of the Key Figure directory, choose New Calculated Key Figure.
Provide a description, for example Number of Documents/Orders.
The next step is creating a formula variable for getting the document count.
From the context menu for the Formula Variable, choose New Variable.
Provide the technical name and description for the variable.
Choose the Processing type as Replacement Path.
In the next screen, select the Characteristic Info Object based on which the number of documents is to be displayed in the report (For example: Document Number / Order Number).
Choose Next.
In the Replace Variable with drop down box, choose Attribute Value.
In the Attribute drop down, select Characteristic Reference (Constant 1).
Choose Next.
On the Save Variable page, an overview of the settings made for the variable will be displayed.
Confirm the entries and Choose Finish.
Open the formula variables directory and use Drag & Drop to transfer the formula variable as shown in the screen shot.
If the Formula variable is directly assigned to the Calculated Key Figure, a warning Calculated Key Figure is not defined correctly will be displayed while executing the Query.
To avoid the warning message, the formula variable is multiplied by 1 as shown in the screen shot.
Choose OK.
In the Properties of Calculated Key Figure dialog box, assign a Technical name for the CKF.
Set the number of Decimal placed to 0.
The most important step here is to set the Time of Calculation to After Aggregation.
Then only the total Number of Documents/Orders will be displayed correctly in the report.
If itu2019s set to Before aggregation, when an existing document is changed in the source and data is loaded to the cube using a new delta request, the document count will be displayed as two instead of one.
By Default the Time of Calculation is set to After Aggregation.
Choose OK.
The new calculated key figure is available under Calculated Key Figure in the Key Figure directory, and can be included in the query definition using Drag & Drop as shown in the screen shot below.
You may have to include another Key Figure also in the definition; otherwise an error message will be displayed in the query. If you donu2019t want to display the newly added key figure in the report, you can hide it by choosing Properties from context menu of the key figure and selecting the Hide option.
Save and Execute the Query.
The sample report shown here displays the total number of Documents/Orders for each plant on a daily basis.
Why Calculated Key figure instead of New Formula?
The replacement of formula variables with the processing type Replacement Path acts differently in calculated key figures and formulas:
If you use a formula variable with u201CReplacement from the Value of an Attributeu201D in a calculated key figure, then the system automatically adds the drilldown according to the reference characteristic for the attribute. The system then evaluates the variables for each characteristic value for the reference characteristic. Afterwards, the calculated key figure is calculated and, subsequently, all of the other operations are executed, meaning all additional, calculated key figures, aggregations, and formulas. The system only calculates the operators, which are assembled in the calculated key figure itself, before the aggregation using the reference characteristic.
If you use a formula variable with Replacement from the Value of an Attribute in a formula element, then the variable is only calculated if the reference characteristic is uniquely specified in the respective row, column, or in the filter.

Automator still broken - mp3s classed as 'documents' and other "quirks"

Without going into rant mode, it appears that automator is broken.
Can anybody explain why, amongst other things which make absolutely no sense, it thinks that .mp3 files are documents?
I have been trying to use folder actions to keep my downloads folder organised, which used to work fine (albeit with a few quirks if I recall) back in Tiger, but I haven't been able to get work since Leopard/ Snow leopard .
Just checking there isn't something specifically wrong with my machine before I file a bug report, which I'm pretty sure I did in leopard and then in snow-leopard too.

Well, mp3 files are documents for those applications that handle them, just as text files are documents for applications that handle text. I think what is being filtered are document files (vs applications and folders) - there are additional filters for various document types, such as music.

Oracle Text - Compressed (ZIP) documents support

Is it possible for Oracle Text to index files of various formats like DOC, PDF, HTML compressed in the ZIP archives?
I have read some Oracle text documentation and it seems that this feature is not available out-the-box?
Does anyone have any idea how this functionality can be implemented?
I think USER_DATASTORE might be used for this, but this does not seem like a good way how to do it.
The second option is using a Oracle Text FILTER class. But the default INSO_FILTER does not support indexing of documents in ZIP packages according to my tests.
So far I was not able to find any other filters, which support this feature.
Regards.

What version of oracle are you interested in?
11.1.0.7 (the latest) returns Oracle text to INSO filters for document processing, and in [Text Reference Section B.2.5|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/text.111/b28304/afilsupt.htm#g639477] (Archive File Format), ZIP files are supported.

Extracting elements from an xml string - org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredText

Hello all,
I am new to xml, and I thought I had a handle on things until I got this problem...I am getting an xml string from the body of an e-mail message, and then I am trying to extract elements out of it. Here is an example xml string:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<filterRoot>
 <filter action="MOVE" bool="AND" name="My Saved Filter" target="Deleted Items">
 <condition attribute="TO" bool="AND" contains="CONTAINS">
 <value>[email protected]</value>
 <value>[email protected]</value>
 <value>[email protected]</value>
 <value>[email protected]</value>
 <value>[email protected]</value>
 </condition>
 </filter>
</filterRoot>I am trying to extract the <filter> element out and store it into a Vector of Elements (called, not surprisingly, filters). However, I am getting a class cast exception:
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredTextImplIt is being called from where I trying to extract the <filter> in this way:
 filterRoot = doc.getDocumentElement(); // get topmost element
 NodeList list = filterRoot.getChildNodes();
 Vector newFilters = new Vector();
 debug("There are "+list.getLength()+" filters in document");
 for(int i=0; i<list.getLength(); i++) {
 Node n = list.item(i);
 debug("Node "+i+" getNodeValue() is "+n.getNodeValue());
 Element temp = (Element)n;
 newFilters.add(temp);
 }Perhaps my question is, how do I correctly get hold of the <filter> node so that I may cast it as an Element?
thanks,
Riz

Yes, I already knew that it is not a bug.
But, I got next step problem.
I put "false" to "include-ignorable-whitespace" feature in xerces parser.
But, I still found unnecessary TextNodes in my parser object.
Feature link : http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-j/features.html.
I use xerces-2_8_0.
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/include-ignorable-whitespace", false);
parser.parse(inputSource);
document = ps.getDocument();
System.out.println(document.getDocumentElement().getChildNodes().length()); // still wrong lengthIs tehre any example of usage this feature?
What is default defination of white-space "\n "(enter with one space) or " "(juz white space) or something else?

When Creating Credit memo pricing formula gets triggered even if pri typ D

Hi gurus,
We have a copy control set up from billing doc to credit memo doc with all the item catergories pricing type as D (Copy pricing elements unchanged ). We have a discount condition in pricing procedure which is set to statistical based on a condition base formula.
When I create a credit memo all condition are copied from billing document but the discount condition is set to statistical, which in term throws off the further calculations.
I found out that this is happening because the condition base formula is getting executed during copy and discount condition get statistical.My understanding was that ,making the pricing type D should not even touch the formula,it should copy conditions as it is.
Have anybody seen this issue before , is there a way to control it ? Or this is a SAP bug ?
Please respond,below is the excerpt of our pricing procedure in billing and credit memo
Billing doc pricing :
ZVEN Vendor List Price 135,00
ZVDC Vendor Discount 50,000-    -
>    not statistical
Customer Discounted 67,50
Credit memo pricing :
ZVEN Vendor List Price 135,00
ZVDC Vendor Discount 50,000-    -
> statistical
Customer Discounted 135,00
Thanks in advance for your help...

Hi Swapnil,
I dont thik its an SAP bug. In order to answer your query, we need to understand further more on the issue,
1) IS ZVDC defualted to statistical in the pricing procedure ? or are you explicitly putting to statistical based onthe condition base formula ?
2 ) if you are putting as statistical explicitly then we need to check the logic in the base formula. Probably you are filtering the document type or category in the logic?
Can you send me the logic, in the base routine, ?
sit with an abaper and try to debug the routine.
the routines should definetly be called even if you are copying.
the indicator D just copies the unit price thats it, the condition value is calculated from the routines only,
i feel there is some thing in your routine which needs to be corrected.

Using Oracle Text with MS WORD

Hi,
We have just installed Text and we want to use it for indexing hundreds of MS WORD documents that are in the same directory. But I could not find a document / example about indexing/filtering Word Documents. I will be grateful iy you can help me for finding these..
Thanks..

You could specify INSO_FILTER for FILTER preference
in command for creating index
(see
http://otn.oracle.com/products/text/x/samples/indexing/filters/inso_filter/inso_filter_idx.sql) or
use USER filter.
For example see also
http://otn.oracle.com/products/text/x/samples/indexing/filters/INSO_Filter/index.html
(for loading data you could use any other tools than SQL*Loader)

Configuration framework system error - the configurable won't be loaded

Hi, I have followed the tutorial on how to url=https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/kmc/Implementing%20Resource%20List%20Filters%20for%20Flexible%20UI%20Navigation/index.htm]Implement a Resource List Filters for Flexible UI Navigation[/url]

Oracle Text and Java (jsp)

Hi,
I stored files( pdf,word) in blob column. I created index (INSO_FILTER) and i would like to query the files.
String sword="test";
String query = "Select COMPID,CREATED,NAME,CVNUMBER from COMPANYCV" + " where contains(CV,' "+sword+" ') > 0 " ;
System.out.println(query);
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
works fine i get the compid,date,number and filename of the stored file in the blob column. This info is displayed als a link(url). ie. <A HREF="ShowCv.jsp?NAME=doc1.pdf...... So when the user clicks on it, the appropriate program opens (word,acrobat reader) and the content of the file is shown.
But i also want to know how many times the word test" is found in each of the documents? How can i do this in java (jsp)?
And i want to highlight to word that is searched for in the document? Any help on doing this ( examples)? The doc should open in the browswer( html -version) and words
should be highlighted.
plz help!
ps.
if i use:
select score(1),NAME,COMPID from COMPANYCV where contains(CV, 'BLOB',1 ) > 0 order by score(1) desc
i get:
100,Test2.doc,4
39,Test1.doc,5
the score is 39 with Test1.doc! But the word blob is not present in that document. What does the "score" realy mean?
thx

ok so far so good. Here is what i did;
filter-> html
I created a table filterresult:
query_id number
document clob
in sql:
begin
ctx_doc.filter('cvindex', 30, 'filterresult',0,FALSE);
end;
so now the word document with pk=30 is stored in de blob column as html.
in my jsp i call:
String sql= "SELECT DOCUMENT FROM FILTERRESULT WHERE QUERY_ID=0";
//System.out.println(sql);
rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
while(rs.next()){
clob=((OracleResultSet)rs).getCLOB(1);
is=clob.getAsciiStream();
int pos=0;
int length=0;
byte[] b = new byte[clob.getChunkSize()];
while((length=is.read(b))!= -1){
pos+=length;
os.write(b);
and the word document shows up in html in my browser!
I created another table:
table highlightresults(
query_id number
offset number
length number
highlight->
in sql:
begin
ctx_doc.highlight('cvindex', 30, 'steven','highlightresults');
end;
i want to highlight the word "steven" in the word doc with pk=30.
I got no error on excecuting this, but how do i combine the 2 thins: how can i open the filtered word document (html) with the highlights shown in a color??
plz help!
also; can someone give me and exampple on how to call these sql statements, like:"begin
ctx_doc.highlight('cvindex', 30, 'steven','highlightresults');
end; " in my JSP (java) page!
thank you

Manual bank statement - report

Hi SAP Gurus,
Is there any standard report in SAP which can pull out the entries maintained through manual bank statement, the business transactions used for a year??
Regards,
SATVIR SINGH

Hi:
I guess your requirement can be met through FBL3N. As you know FF67 credits Bank Incoming clearing a/c and debit Main Bank account as BRS is posted and vice versa for Outgoing. This posting is done using document types as defined in SPRO...Financial Accounting....Banks...Business Transactions...Payment Transactions....Manual Bank Statement..Define posting key and posting rules....Define posting rules...There you will see doc type against various transaction types you use for postings BRS.
All posting done through FF67 can be tracked by executing Main Bank Accounts GLs in FBL3N and filtering the document type.
Hope it will help you.

Problems with the Search for room content

Hi,
I face a problem configuring the search for room content using KM search iView (com.sap.km.Search).
I found the chapter Configuring the Search for Room Content in the help. So I set up the following things :
1- I assign the room_id iView parameter to the roomid room parameter (in the template)
2- I added room_cm_search component to the component set (I added it at the bottom of the "component for basic search function")
3- I select the entry "Folder" as the default search scope in the search option set. I specify a root folder for search as well.
But it doesn't work properly. It always returns "no result found". And if I add the room_cm_search component at the top of the "component for basic search function", It runs the search on all the documents of the default search scope, and not only on the room documents.
Can you please tell me the right way to configure the search for room content using the com.sap.km.Search iView ?
I work on EP 7.0 SP 10.
Thanks a lot,
Loïc LEVEUGLE

Hi Loic,
the Room Content Search iView is a special Search iView that is filtering for documents that were created in the Room Context (all documents get a specific metadata that is keeping the roomiD) . The easiest thing is to use the standard iView used for the delivered templates from SAP.
I would advise to use the iView that is already preconfigured for a room template or part template and can be found and referenced in your template from the following path: Portal Content ->com.sap.ip.collaboration--> TemplateAndPartContent --> Generic -->iViews and take the iView "Search Room"
If you reference that iView in your room template or room part template, you have to think about the correct configuration in the template configuration iView. Just take as example the configuration of the part template "SAP Search Room".
Or even better: Copy a template (room or part) from SAP that is containing the Room Search and delete everything what you don´t need out of the template. You safe time and you can add all additional content you´ll need to your template. Some ideas can be found in the following "How to Guide":
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0496f69-cb70-2910-21a6-c4cf2cc66311
What you have written under 3 -> would never work as the root folder for search doesn´t make any sense as the documents of a room are stored in different folders and you can´t define a root folder. Therefor you have the specific room_id parameter that is filtering what documents belong to the room.
Good luck,
Anja

Input Controls / Hierarchy

Hi,
We're looking into upgrade Service Pack 2. One of the nice new functionalities in Web Intelligence are input controls. When playing around with them a bit, we found them very useful to apply different selection filters on several objects, each belonging to a different dimension.
When we wanted to use input controls to sort of "select down into" a hierarchy within 1 dimension (so several object related to each other in a hierarchy), we found a selection on an object at eg. the top level of the hierarchy does not apply to the list of value of the input control for the lower levels (objects).
For example, dimension month.
Hierarchy: Semester > Quarter > Month
3 input controls on 3 objects: Semester, Quarter, Month
Selecting eg. Q1, does not limit the list of values of input control for Month to Jan, Feb, Mar
Instead all list of months need to be scrolled
This is unfortunate. For the above example, this is not that big an issue since the list of values in any case only has 12 entries. For other hierarchies however ...
Are we overlooking something? Can we get to above functionality from Input Controls?
If not in SP2, is this planned for the future? eg. SP3?
Thanks for feedback!
Raf

Hello Raf,
Thanks for your feedback about input controls.
This feature has been introduced as a first step in SP2, and will be improved in the coming releases (esp. with the XI 4.* codeline), and input controls dependencies is indeed listed with the highest priority on our improvement list (and more generally "context aware" input controls).
In the meantime, you may partly workaround the limitation, if you need to control 2 hierarchy levels, by defining an input control L1 to select first level, filtering a document area where you insert a table T2 listing entries for the second level.
Table T2 can be defined as input control (cf. table contextual menu) to filter another set of report elements.
For instance you can list all European countries with L1, set T2 to list European Cities, so when you select Norway from L1, you'd get T2 filtered to select only from Oslo, Stavanger, Narvik, Trondheim, etc.
(This behavior is currently restricted to an input control to a report element as input control only, i.e. no more than two hierarchy levels)
Hope that helps,
David.

Thank you. I am already using KB61 for reporting line item.But the problem is, you need document no's. I had collected all the line item's corcerning the particular cost center by using the report KSB1 and also filtered the document number's from that list (Ref. Doc Number).
But with document type SA,KG ,KL etc are accepted by KB61 when entered as Accounting document number. Document with type WA,WE,AB are not accepted and error message prompted is "Document is not in Database, Search document archive?".
Now finally, how can we repost line items with document type AB, WA ,WE, RE, & RL etc.
Thanking you , once again for helping me out.
