IFS and WebDAV

Can you tell me if/when iFS will support WebDAV?

being worked on as we speak, should be ready for our next release.
out of curiousity: what context would you be using it in (i.e., with what client(s))?

Office 2000 and WebDav

I'm using the ability of Ifs to save edited Office 2000
documents directly to IFS (Web folders & I think this is WebDav
protocol). My problem is that when I open office document from
IFS, a window for network password appears. Window is very
annoying and meanless, because you can press cancle and document
will still open. Problem does not appear with Office 97 (but
it's impossible to use Web folders and WebDav with Office 97).
My qustion is how to set up system, that this window will not
open.
Hope somebody knows the answer.

I also ran into this problem. When an Office2000 application is
trying to open the document, it makes a new connection to the
webserver. When doing so, it forgets to send the authentication
headers, so you have to authenticate again.
see also: the Microsoft website. This is a known bug in
Office2000.
This is fixed in SR-1/SR-1a for Office2000. So I suggest you
install this fix or use the workaround: right-click the document
and choose "Save As..."

Oracle ifs and BEA weblogic

Oracle ifs and BEA weblogic
We have one application server with weblogic and and ifs 1.0.9 , and one db server with Oracle 8.1.7.
with the following configuration:
Web server
appl server with weblogic 6.0 and ifs 1.1.9
Oracle 8i Enterprise with interMedia text
We need to use the iFS API call for our application.
As I know, weblogic 6.0 support JDK1.3 but ifs 1.1.9 supports up to JDK1.2.
Is this configuration possible?
Any conflict if two version JDK co-exist inside same machine?
Any suggestion?
If I separate the appl. server into two machines, that is,
one server installed with weblogic, the other one installed with ifs.
How could I make use the ifs API call from appl. server?
Is there any configuration guides for this setting?
Thanks a lot.

The iFS API is 100% pure Java. You can use it from any other Java application, be it JSP, EJB, or a standalone application.
So it really comes down to the CLASSPATH. The iFS API is split among a set of .jar files, and some of the configuration information is stored in .properties files that are outside of these .jar files. All of this stuff needs to be in the CLASSPATH of whatever JVM is calling the iFS API.
The iFS API uses the Oracle JDBC driver to communicate with the Oracle database. This is another requirement. You can't use another JDBC driver; you have to use ours.
So again, it's all about configuration.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Would you mind to share more detail on configurating weblogic to integrate the iFS API?

Windows Explorer View, Server 2012 and WebDAV

I am using SharePoint Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012. I cannot get Windows Explorer View working from client machines on this server. These machines are Windows 8, running IE 10 (I am also having problems on my Windows 7 / IE 9 machine).
I have done everything on the client that I have read about (Trusted Site, the WebClient services, the patch mentioned in a Kb article), but to no avail.
The client machines CAN open Windows Explorer View on a SharePoint Foundation site that I have hosted on the internet, although in this instance they access the internet directly, rather than through the company network.
Therefore, I take it that my problem lies either on our SharePoint server, or somewhere in the network. The Proxy does not seem to be a problem as this is bypassed for local sites.
Somedody said for an earlier version of SharePoint that the WebDAV server role should be
disabled (which seems counter-intuitive). Does this make sense, or what else should I be looking at on either my server or in the network environment?

Thanks for the reply.
I get the standard message ("We're having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and try again"). I am not using HTTPS.
I do not think that the WebDAV is irrelevant on the server, as there are two separate things there:
Desktop Experience Feature, which installs the WebClient service to allow the server to use WebDAV, and
WebDAV Publiching Role under Common HTTP functions
Curiously, after removign the WebDAV Publishign Role, my Win7/IE9 pc (which is not logged on to my client's domain (although I access their network and use SharePoint in my browser) DOES allow Windows Explorer View.
The domain PCs do not allow it, still. They get challnged for a user name and password three times before they get the standard message. But, I did test a machine of their connecting to an internet-hosted website, and it could use Explorer View.

Transactions accross iFS and 'normal' database

I want to do a combined transaction where file operations are combined with normal table data transactions - for instance I would like to delete a file and at the same time insert a row in my log-table (this is just an example :-)).
The documentation is quite unhelpful here as it gives me no description on how to do this. Has anybody out there tries this ?
Thanks in advance
Jacob

Hi,
Is there a way to do something like this? I need to update a field in another schema on the same database as IFS, based on a action that happens in IFS.
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Jacob Due (jcd@ramboll:
Tkanks for the input but I really want a more general approach :-) - using a trigger will make something happen allways (I might have application functionality that should not trigger any action other than the iFS action), and I really do not like having my application code in database triggers. So what I whish for is that I can somehow have a shared transaction spanning across the iFS and the normal database with full two phase commit.

Dreamweaver and webdav connection

Hi All,
I was able to create a webdav connection for my site.
I'm getting an error copying some files, I see that it's an issue in CS3
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402079.html
I'm testing cs4, still an issue in cs4? where is the patch?
Thanks!
Johnny

FYI, It's not an issue with DW CS4... it's an issue with IIS6 and WebDav. (remove a filter in IIS6 for the webdav site)

ColdFusion Builder 2 and WebDav

I maintain a website that is hosted by a University. Files are synced from my local machine to their server using WebDav. For the previous 5 years I have used Dreamweaver which supports synching to a remote site via WebDav in the site definitions. I have recently begun using CFBuilder, however, which appears to only support synchronization via SFTP or FTP. My question is 2 part:
1. Is there a plugin for CFBuilder / Eclipse that will give me the option of synchronizing via WebDav
2. If there is no plugin what other option would be *Easy*? I have Transmit so I suppose I could use it if that is really the best option.
Server is running CF9 and I am on an iMac running CFBuilder 2 on Snow Leopard.
Thanks.

Please google Eclipse and WebDav. Here is what I turned up.

RSP 2.4 and WebDav

I'm running into some problems of trying to setup webdav to work with RSP. I've installed webDav via IIS 7.0 and have played around some settings. It seems to be functional at the moment but as I'm still unable to connect to the webdav server from the Remote Support Platform. Is there a step I'm missing? or can anyone provide some steps to configure it properly?

Hello!
I have a problem with using RSP 2.4 for connecting with SAP Support and our partners. For the first time, I've tried to establish a connection between two our sbo-servers via RSP. ISS was activated on both servers and WebDAV was on.
I've installed RSP 2.4 and here is some steps in the Installation Wizard (on sboname1):
* Internet Connection: Enable HTTP Proxy - Address, Port, UserName, Password are input and Test Connection is successful;
* SAP Channel: System Number, Installation Number, S-User, Password are input and Test Connection to SAP server is successful;
* Partner Channel: WebDAV URL = http://sbonumber2:name2, sa user and password are ok, but no positive result in Test Connection. Name2 should be defined on another sbo-server in that RSP - but it didn't help.
* Software Updates: Download Authorization is not successful in contempt of the same S-User and Password input...
So I need to skip some ticks and as a result there is no connection between sboname1 and sboname2.
Is there some instruction for WebDAV-setup for RSP?

Running ifs and ctx as service

I am trying to run ctx and ifs as a service so that I can log off the administrator. I have created a service using the windows2000 resource toolkit, and start ifs and ctx in a .bat file for the service to run. I added two dependencies to the service: OracleTNSListener and OracleServiceORCL817. I get these errors in the log files:

Urgently need advice.

If you have database and iFS on one computer, your problem is probably the sequence of starting services.
You probably don't have database or/and listener started by the time you start iFS.
Maybe the solution is to modify your scripts to check that database is started or to wait some time before starting iFS.

IFS and iAS (OAS)

We currently use OAS as our web server. All pages are dynamically generated and stored on our Oracle 8i database. My question is this: Is there a way to connect from my OAS web page to iFS and be authenticated to iFS with the username/password combination I entered to access the web site?

Here's the JspLogin class I used in a demo once. It implements the IfsHttpLogin interface.
Once you've instantiated it you'll need to connect to the repository and obtain a LibrarySession interface and then invoke the setSession() method on the JspLogin object.
The code will look something like this
LibraryService ifsService = new LibraryService();
CleartextCredential me = new CleartextCredential(username,password);
ConnectOptions connect = new ConnectOptions();
connect.setLocale(Locale.getDefault());
connect.setServiceName(service);
connect.setServicePassword(schemaPassword);
LibrarySession ifsSession = ifsService.connect(me,connect);
if (DEBUG) {
Alert.log("JspUtilities.obtainSession: Session Created.");
JspLogin login = new JspLogin();
login.setSession(ifsSession);
httpSession.putValue(IFSHTTPLOGIN,login);
Note IFSHTTPLOGIN is defined as follows
public static final String IFSHTTPLOGIN = "IfsHttpLogin";
I used this code once in a demo. I've not tested that the Login object this creates will allow the complete iFS WebUI to run. This code is definitely supplied as is, with no warranties or anything else for that matter.

IFS and Excel Documents

Good Morning,
I am new to working with iFS. My questions revolves around placing excel documents into iFS. We want to place excel spreadsheets into iFS and then we want to read the data from the excel sheet into the database. Is this possible?

could you explain exactly what you mean? do you mean parsing the contents of the excel spreadsheet (into CSV for example)?

IFS and EJB

There are two ways to search by 'section' in XML documents.
First, if you define an iFS content type whose name and structure matches the schema of your XML document, the iFS SimpleXMLParser will automatically decompose the XML document and store each section as attributes on the iFS object. Refer to the Oracle iFS Developer's Guide for instructions on creating new content types and parsing XML instances.
Second, you can store XML documents in iFS without parsing the XML using the Web UI upload via browse interface. Oracle iFS 1.0 is configured so that it uses interMedia text to index the XML document. Subsequently, you'll be able to execute content searches for the document using section criteria (e.g. content contains 'interMedia' within 'Title').

IFS and Highlight

Is it possible to create a Highlight for a Context Search within iFS and how i do them?
I got a SearchResultObject and would like to create and display a highlight on each result object.
Thanks for all contribute.

IFS and Portal repositories

I need to craft a content management solution using both iFS and portal and whilst I thought this would be easy - it isn't. Why do iFS and Portal use different document repositories?? (they should either be the same - or at least be configurable to be the same!!). I know that you can extend iFS but I'm noJava expert so wouldn't have a clue how to go about it.
Has anyone written anything for iFS that would allow me to read and write documents to the Portal repositories?? If so would you be willing to share the information.
Thanks
Tim

The following thread, http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum36/HTML/001021.html,
confirms Oracle are looking at integrating but with no timelines. I agree customising Portal to us iFS as for it's doc mgnt is an ideal solution. It is something that we are currently embarking on and will let you know how it goes.

IfS and ifSWithoutElse: What is their functinality?

Hi All,
In SP 15 two new standard functions: ifS and ifSWithoutElse have been added.
How are they different from if and ifWithoutElse functions?
Could not find much about them on SAP Help.
Regards,
Anurag Mahendru.

It has been clearly defined in the oss note
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1090369
For your benefit and the benefit of the group I am pasting the content from the above oss note
*********************Start of note**********************
Summary
Symptom
The behaviour of functions 'if' and 'ifWithoutElse' in Message-Mapping has been changed. We have changed it after we've become aware of the fact that both functions behave inconsistently with the documentation.
This change has some important consequences, which are described in this note.
Let us consider the function 'if'. The situation with 'ifWithoutElse' is analogous to it.
There are, in fact, two distinct use-cases for the function 'if':
1. One is when the function is used as an if statement. For example, consider this pseudocode:
if <condition>
value = <expression1>
else
value = <expression2>
end
In this case, one expects that the <condition> expression is evaluated first and then, depending on the value of the condition, one of the branch expressions is evaluated and assigned to variable 'value'.
2. The second use case is when the function is used as a procedure. In pseudocode:
value = if (<condition>, <expression1>, <expression2>)
In this case, all three expressions (<condition>, <expression1> and <expression2>) whould be evaluated first and the results of this expressions would be passed to function 'if', which in turn, would return one of them, depending on condition value, to be assigned to 'value' variable. This second use-case is also known in some programming languages as function 'iif'.
In Message-Mapping, the analog of evaluating an expression is advancing a pointer on one of the argument queues of a function. It turned out that the function 'if' did not consistently work either way and that the customers need both variants of the function. The SAP Note 1053706 has delivered the first patch to the function 'if'. This patch was not functionally complete and the function 'if' was patched again. The SAP Note 1085331 has delivered the finally fixed function 'if'. With this Note, the function always works as in use-case 2 above. That is, all arguments are evaluated first, then value of one of them is returned. To minimize compatibility problems with old usages, the function makes one exception to this rule: in case when evaluating one of the branches throws an Exception, the function ignores it, if the exception is in the branch that is not selected by condition.
This change in behaviour can lead to some of the Message-Mappings producing different results than before implementing the patch.
One common problem situation is when one of the branches of function 'if' contains a User-Defined function that produces side-effects. Like increments and stores a counter in 'GlobalContainer', for example. Such functions will be executed more times than before and will cause the numbering to go awry.
Other terms
Message Mapping, XI, PI, IF,IFS IFSWIthoutElse Boolean functions
Reason and Prerequisites
See above.
Solution
To provide customers with functions to use in use-case 1 above, SAP will deliver new standard functions 'ifS' and 'ifSWithoutElse'. The 'S' in the names states for 'Statement'. The new functions will be delivered in
Patch level 1 of SP21 of XITOOLS 3.0,
and SP22 onwards
Patch level 1 of SP14 of XITOOLS 7.0,
Patch level 2 of SP15 of XITOOLS 7.0
and SP16 onwards
SP05 of SAPXIESR 7.1 and SAPXIPCK 7.1,
and subsequent Support Packages of each corresponding major release.
It is not recommended to install the patches between SAP Note 1053706 and 1085331. If you decide to install a patch from Note 1085331 or any subsequent release, carefully test Message-Mappings before deploying the patch in productive systems.
In case the upgrade is necessary and Message-Mappings do not work as before, there is a possibility to workaround the problem. There's no known generic workaround for all kinds of problems that can arise.
Note :
IFS and IFSWIthoutElse functions have a Limitation.
When the The IFS and IFSWIthoutElse functions have the UDF of type Queue or Context, it will be executed unconditionally.
i.e the Queue UDF will be executed once even it does not have a matching condition in the input queue and the Context UDF will be executed once for every Context in the input queue, even if there is no matching condition in the input context.
For situation with functions leaving side-effects described above, we recommend to add a new argument to the User-Defined Function and create the side-effect conditionally based on that argument. Most probably you will want to put in this additional argument the same queue that you use in condition for function 'ifS'.
Please read the relevant Note 1158485 also.
