Filtering the catalog content

Hi!
I am developing a BI Beans HTML application and need to implement a filter to control what content in the catalog can be seen by certain users and/or user groups. The filter itself is not a problem, but to use it with an exisiting ExplorerDetail tag is a problem. I don't understand how I can extend this tag. Or should I write a totally new tag for this? I would really appreciate any help, hints and ideas.
Thank you,
Zrinka

In the end I figured out that this was (For some reason) due to a 301 URL redirect from / to /en/pages/default.aspx that someone had added into URL rewrite on IIS. I am still not sure why I was getting the filtering process message, but that's what
did it. I figured it out by looking in my IIS access logs where I could see the request to / but it never followed the redirect to /en/pages/default.aspx never being requested.

Catalog content missing after upgrade to 11.1.1.6.6

We recently applied the patches to upgrade OBIEE from 11.1.1.6.0 to 11.1.1.6.6. But after the upgrade, all of the catalog contents went missing. I can still see My Folders and Shared Folders, but nothing under them. I still have all of the subject area and can still build custom analysis, but all of the pre-built contents are gone. We are using BI Applications 7.9.6.3.
Has anyone else had the same issue?
Thanks,
Yi

Hi,
Yesterday we have encountered the same problem. We have migrated our Development environment from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.1.6.5 and the folders do not show any of the existing reports and dashboards. When we click on the My folder or Shared Folder, we encountered a BI spinning a wheel and nothing loaded. We later found out that during our test upgrade of our staging environment, one of the report failed and the work around was to add the following to the NQSConfig.INI.
EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL = 2;
Even though this is nothing to do with Catalog not loading, we went ahead with this change and restarted the BI components.
We refreshed the page by clicking F5 and the catalog now successfully loaded.
Again, I am not sure whether this was related to above change or just refreshing the page with F5.
Can you try what we did and see whether you could see the catalog contents.
Thanks

How to delete and create the CCM MASTER CATALOG in Catalog Content?

Hi All,
Please provide the solution as we are in real trouble.
We have to delete master catalog and upload it again. Deletion is done because the mapping and all are being corrupted. SAP has suggested to delete the catalog and again upload it and do all the mapping again related to supplier and procurement catalog
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm50/helpdata/en/7f/9b62405c910272e10000000a155106/frameset.htm.
In the link above I found information really useful, however according to the document the CCM MASTER CATALOG should be created automatically by the SAP Catalog Authoring Tool, this happens the first time that you are using the system.
Catalog Creation
You use this function to create catalogs in SAP Catalog Authoring Tool.
You can create the following types of catalogs:
Supplier catalogs
Procurement catalogs
Model service catalogs
Note
SAP Catalog Authoring Tool creates the master catalog, the SRM product catalog, SRM contract catalogs, and the contract catalog for service specifications automatically.
When SAP Catalog Authoring Tool is used for the first time, you must open the Edit Catalogs application once, before you create any catalogs. Choosing Edit Catalogs triggers the creation of the master catalog. If you do not do this, SAP Catalog Authoring Tool outputs an error message when you try to create a catalog.
We have already the Master Schema and we know how to map the CCM MASTER CATALOG to the supplier and procurement catalogs. The main problem is that we need to delete the CCM/MASTERCATALOG and created again.
1. How delete the CCM/MASTERCATALOG?
In a Test environment I have delete the CCM/MASTERCATALOG using the "Edit Catalogs" mode then choosing the catalog and confirm the deletion.
Once this has been done, all the catalogs has been erased including the CCM/MASTERCATALOG, so now we have the system in blank. I am not sure if this is the correct way to delete the catalog or there is an easiest way where the Procurement and supplier catalogs don't disappear once the CCM/MASTERCATALOG is deleted.
2. Once the CCM/MASTERCATAOG is deleted how to created again?
According to the instructions the SAP Catalog Authoring Tool should created this automatically when is used for the first time, however how we can created the CCM/MASTERCATALOG again if the SAP Catalog Authoring Tool is not used for the fist time.
Is there a way where the system can create the CCM/MASTERCATALOG for a second time?
I follow the steps to create the CCM/MASTERCATALOG for the first time however I didn't get a positive result.
Any help provided will be really appreciated.

Hi,
Generation of the /CCM/MASTER_CATALOG is automatic and does not require any additional effort from a catalog admin other than accessing the CDC (Edit Catalogs).
If the catalog is not regenerated at this point it is likely that you then receive an error like 'Error reading catalogs, error reading Master Catalog' or something similar which would indicate that the previous deletion of the master from either table /CCM/D_CTLG or /CCM/D_CTLG_REQ was not successfully completed or that the update operation in table /CCM/D_UPD_STATE remained in update status and never for some reason completed (status 03).
Deletion of the Master catalog should not cause the deletion of any other catalog, unless you have chosen 'delete all catalogs'! Choosing the Master and delete should result in only a deletion request for the master catalog, be aware however that all mapping records between Supplier -> Master -> Procurement catalogs will be destroyed and cannot be 'rejoined' but only rebuilt from scratch. It is also advisable after the Master deletion to chcek with report /CCM/CLEANUP_MAPPING which orphaned items and mapping records require cleanup as it is better to remove these before proceeding with the new mappings.

How to use the catalog in our own Web Dynpro program?

Hi Expert,
How to access MDM catalog and bring the product data back to a our own Web Dynpro program?

Hi Masa,
The Catalog Search UI of SRM that is referred to as UI as aforementioned is a page which is capable of the selection of catalog items is linked from the shopping cart creation.
Our biz requirement content two scenarioes to processing the purchase requirement.
A. Create shopping cart via the catalog (PR) --> SRM PO Process --> SUS(PO and Invoice)
This is the standard SRM purchase scenario and we have already implemented that.
B. Create a requirement document via the catalog (This document is same with the SC but very simple, and we create this function by the own web dynpro program) --> transfer the requirement document to other purchasing system(none SAP) in our intranet.
So the key problems we faced are below:
1. How to connect to the catalog search UI from our own web dynpro program.
( If we connect the catalog via the MDM ABAP API, that will make the catalog serach UI could not be used;
Also it has been failed to simulate the function of SC's connection to the catalog;
So we decide to link the catalog serach UI via the URL, the linkage is "http://<J2EEserver:J2EEport>/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM?sap-locale=EN&HOOK_URL=&mask=&namedSearch=General&username=&password=&catalog=<Repository Name>&server=&datalanguage=EN". )
2. How to transfer the catalog item data to our own web dynpro program.
If we link the catalog search UI by URL, we can not find any good method to transfer the catalog item data to our own program.

How do i install the Motion2 content?

Sorry for the lame post, but I have RTFM and tried installing Final Cut Studio all afternoon and it just wont install the Motion content or Live Type content.
The apps themselves seem to be fine and i have even registered and got the new free filters, but why oh why wont it install the content? What am i doing wrong?
Its a fresh install (reformated disk) tiger with the latest software updates on a G5 Dual 2.5Ghz. nothing else on there!
I have tried repair permissions too. I thought fresh install on a virgin os it would be so much easier....... How wrong i was.....
Please, someone help me or point me in the right direction.
Many thanks!

No, not the additional filters you get when you register installed fine.
On the install disks (motion) there is a pkg called "install motion content" - it gets about half way through then quits saying it wasnt installed properly.
the app itself (motion) works fine, but there is nothing in the templates or tutorials etc.
In theory (and according to the docs) motion should install this content whilst installing, but it didnt - hence i tried installing it from the "install motion content" icon.
The disks are brand new from apple as part of final cut studio 5, so i doubt its a bad disk. Any ides would be nice.
Is there a way of viewing the contents of a .pkg file or extracting it manualy? I do wonder if the pkg is corrupt.
Any ideas much appreciated.

Filtering the library by collection status

I've been using LR for adjusting photos for about 6-8 years now, but have just recently gotten time to start better organizing my stuff. I have about 40,000 images that mostly have keywords and descriptive file names, but are generally without ratings, color labels and are mostly not in collections. I must admit that there's a lot of junk in there (duplicates, mostly) that I have to purge. I can probably work it down to 10,000 images.
In addition to putting ratings and labels on things, I want to sort them into collections, but that task would be easier if I knew which images were NOT in collections so I could concentrate on them and work that set down. I don't see a way to set up smart collections to show images that are not in a collection. Looking through help it appears that the smart collection criteria can be selected from whatever text selection criteria are available, and I don't see inclusion in a collection as one of them. I also don't see collection status as one of the metadata items that could be used to filter things.
In a previous thread from 2007 I found the following workaround:
Clear the quick collection and set it to the target collection.
In the library view, select all the collections. Select all the photos.
Go to the catalog and view all photos.
In the Edit menu, click on "invert selection".
That selects all the images not in a collection. Pressing B puts them in the quick collection.
The only problem with this is that when you select an image from the quick collection and place it in a collection the image remains in the quick collection. In a smart collection filtered by collection status (not in a collection) it would disappear from the smart collection when it goes into a collection. So it would be much nicer if there were a way to filter for "not in a collection" for a smart collection or even in a metadata filter.
The above workaround does work, but you will have to refresh the quick collection whenever you lose track of which images you have placed into a collection.
Of course, the best solution would be not to get into my position in the first place. Always dump the junk out of the catalog and place all the keepers in appropriate collections. It never hurts to have multiple ways of finding something.

I guess I missed the selection source --> collections in the new smart collection dialog box.
I tried it out and it almost worked the first time. The number of images shown with all the collections selected plus the number of images listed in the "Not in a collection" smart collection didn't add up to the total number of images. The first thing I had to do was to clear the quick collection, which isn't listed with the collections, but is counted by the filter. That came closer, but didn't quite get them all. The next thing I did was to change the filter criterion to "A E I O U a e i o u 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9" since the filter appears to be case sensitive.
Now it works fine. Thanks for the new smart collection filter.

Should the Cisco Content Engines be used as a proxy appliance

Should the Cisco Content Engine be use as a proxy appliance like a Blue Coat appliance, Squid cache engine, ISA server, etc...
I am pretty sure it is but just need some feedback on past experiences. Customer would like to by a Cisco product for Web filtering/proxy.
or is it strictly used to help with web base applications.

HI,
the CE is basically able to check every request it supports. If you are using 3rd level products like smartfilter, websense or webwasher you can use the features of those products to supress/forbid certain requests(i.e MSN etc.)

"Cannot find the following asset(s) referenced in the catalog:" error found in catalog.

I created a catalog within the catalog folder for the workspace, the same place the Default.cxml is. I created a library for service interfaces and a library for service implementations following the instructions at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/enterpriseplatform/10.0/AEPDeveloperGuide/WSabb771403789c7a3-3 1e63d5312fb7375fac-8000.html#WSe851854fd1e0856a3adf5f4513046ea7dc4-7ffe. When I use the annotations described my service interfaces and interface library are added automatically.
When I deploy my catalog there are no errors. I use CRXDE Lite and go to /content/mosaic/catalogs/[my catalog name] and I can see my interfaces and service classes in there.
I create a new Flex Project for ADEP Experience Services and selected the catalog I created. Within there I create a new stylesheet in the styleSheets package and it is created at [project]/src/styleSheets/[stylesheet name].I right clicked on the style sheet and selected "Compile CSS to SWF". My style sheet is added to the catalog automatically.
I try to deploy the catalog at this point and it give me the error, "Cannot find the following asset(s) referenced in the catalog: " and then it lists my stylesheet.
Has anyone had this problem and have an idea of what hole I am falling into?

There is something basic I am missing. I started over with my installation.
I moved the quick start jar into its own directory and renamed it "adep-author-4502.jar".
I started the jar.
After the server started I went to the package share and logged in, downloaded "es-sdk-pkg-1.0.186.zip", went to the packages and installed it.
I opened the properties for Flash Builder,
Within Flash Builder I created a new "Flex Project for ADEP Experience Services."
Application type: Web
Under server info I connected to the ADEP server
Within the Experience Services step I selected "Composite Application Framework Services" and left Library File Management as it was.
I downloaded the ADEP SDK from experience services server and created a directory for it locally.
Inside of the new application I created a new composite application catalog.
I created an MXML component. Inside the component I used the [Tile] annotation.
Looking inside the catalog I can see the MXML component was added as a tile.
I right click the catalog I created and selected Composite Application Framework, Deploy Composite Application Catalog.
At this stage I get the error for the tile I added.
Looking under packages the CAF oriented packages are:
mosaic-sdk-pkg-2.0.82.zip
composite-app-pkg-1.0.38.zip
I am using Flex SDK 4.5.1.

How to make the uploaded content available to learners.

Dear Experts,
I'm new to this area on SAP-LSO.
With the help of some experts from this forum, I was able to successfully load a SCORM compliant learning content to the master repository through the authoring tool. The content is now visible in the KM directory in my portal.
Now the problem is,
How do I allow a learner to see/play this content ?
i.e,
a>How and what roles are to be provided for the user who is a learner?
b>How will the learner be able to see/play the uploaded content?
c>Is the content player to be accessed seperately to play the uploaded SCORM Content? If yes, how and where?
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Regds,
Srini
P.S : I tried using, the std BSP Application, HCM_LEARNING and previewd the page LESO.htm but I could'nt find the content which I had uploaded in KM folder through the authoring tool.

How do I allow a learner to see/play this content ?
i.e,
a>How and what roles are to be provided for the user who is a learner?
Give standard role:
SAP_HR_LSO_LEARNER
SAP_HR_LSO_COURSEPLAYER
b>How will the learner be able to see/play the uploaded content?
Link the uploaded content with a WBT course type. When you create course type WBT, there will be a mandatory field about course content.
And put the WBT course type into a course catalog.
You also already set SAP Portal. So, learner will login to SAP Portal and access Learner Tab. There, course catalog is stored, and learner can book the course type. After book, there is a button to access the material.
c>Is the content player to be accessed seperately to play the uploaded SCORM Content? If yes, how and where?
Content player is needed to play the uploaded SCORM content, especially when we create the material using Authoring Tools. But, if learner already in SAP Portal and access the content, Content Player doesn't need to be executed separately.
