Is it possible to use WEBDAV instead of FTP

We would like to use the PI system also as a kind of FTP Server.
For Server to Server communication we will use FTPs.
In case users have to place files on the PI system (on dedicated directories) we would like to provide them a possibility to do this seemlessly and in a secure manner.
Therefore WEBDAV seems to be the right choice as this offers the https protocol and in addition in can be integrated with MS Explorer. So, users can easily drag & drop files.
But there are some concerns:
Is WEBDAV already available with a PI installation or do I have to install addtional usage types like KM or Portal?
Even if WEBDAV is part of the PI: how can I access these files later on with PI means? As far as I know WEBDAV is storing the information in the MIME repository which is a part of the database. Is there a way to store the data in the filesystem?
I know there also exists a WEBDAV solution for SAP DB but we are running Oracle.
Maybe there are better solutions than WEBDAV. FTP is no choice at all as we have to use a secure protocol. Ok I know, we could use FTPs but this can't be integrated into MS Explorer. You will need additional client software.
Any ideas & thoughts are welcome.

Hi Klaus !
As far as I know, WEBDAV is not natively supported by XI/PI. You could use a Java Proxy server adapter, that is supported by XI, that consists of a java application that runs in the XI server that could receive messages from XI (coming from a ftp/file adapter or also from a java proxy client) and have the logic to "speak" the webdav protocol to the receiver repository.
Maybe using XI for this purpose will generate too much overhead.

Is it possible to use Oracle instead of DB2 with Netweaver Test-drive 2004?

Dear all,
Recently I ordered on SAP Knowledge shop the Netweaver Test-Drive 2004 DVD (the 32-bit version for Linux (Red Hat Enterprise)).
Before the installation I had already installed Oracle Enterprise 11g (Release 2). However the DVD installed both AS and DB2.
What I would like to ask is that is it possible to use my already installed Oracle database with Netweaver and
remove DB2 from hard disk?
Kind Regards,

PSE 7: Is it possible to use VLC instead of Quicktime to play movies?

Hi, I have VLC (VideoLAN)installed (using Vista). It plays my .mov video files. But PSE 7 still requests Quicktime to be installed. Isn't it possible to use VLC within PSE? Thanks. /Frank

It's not possible (that I know of) to play movies using the VLC engine within PSE.
You can try installing a QuickTime alternative and then you may be able to play the .mov files in the PSE Organizer, but I don't have PSE to tell you. See http://www.codecguide.com/qt_lite.htm for more info
you could go to http://www.adobe.com/go/wish/ and request this feature/functionality

Is it possible to use my time capsule built in hard drive as a airport disk for my home network instead of just a back up with time machine?

I am setting up a new wireless office system for at my job. We have 5 employees and are looking for a wireless hard drive system for us to dump files on and pull files from. We plan to use dropbox for things we are currently using/modifying but would like a wireless hard drive to store our older and completed information/projects on so we can still access them if necessary without using up all of our dropbox space. I'm looking at either getting the new airport extreme and just hooking up a lard external hard drive to it or getting the new time capsule.
I am wondering if it is possible to use the built in hard drive on the time capsule as a wireless hard drive for collaborating/accessing instead of just as a time machine back up? If so then it seems to make sense to buy the TC w/ 3tb hard drive instead of buying the extreme and a larger external drive.

Yes, it is. Note that both the original and backup copies of a file shouldn’t be on the same drive, as it may fail at any time.

it possible to use bpm uwl or mdm uwl iview instead of standatd uwl?

Hi thanks for reply.
issue not solve yet...
i just joined organization, it has standard UWL. And in last oragnization i seen advance UWL which showing details of item, add note, attachment while approve n reject.
I am developer. n some where i seen advance UWL and BPM n MDM iview showing advance falicity of approve n reject.
Also seen in portal content about MDM UWL iView, BPM UWL iView.....
might be that was customized standard UWL iView....
n i think there are some xml file in mdm n bpm so we can show item in UWL list or to do customize UWL with .xml.
so my thing is there are any cotmization in MDM BPM .xml or standard so we can use that iview or xml instead of UWL standard UWL or .xml

Is it possible to use NUMCHARS to display the number of characters in a block of text instead of the whole document? How?

Is it possible to use NUMCHARS to display the number of characters in a block of text instead of the whole document? How?

Getting the character count for a paragraph is trivial:
Sub NumChars1()
MsgBox Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Characters.Count
End Sub
Even outputting it to the document is trivial:
Sub NumChars2()
With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
.Range.InsertAfter .Range.Characters.Count
End With
End Sub
The real issue comes when you want to update the document. If the destination paragraph is only ever empty or contains the character count of the previous paragraph, you could use:
Sub NumChars3()
With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
.Next.Range.Text = .Range.Characters.Count & vbCr
End With
End Sub

Is it possible to share a Mounted Blank Disk Image using WebDav?

I am trying to find a good solution to give individuals the ability to change files in there hosted websites on the Mac Mini Server (10.6.4), but also having a limited folder size. I have seen a few post on using Blank Disk Image as the share folder. I have created the folder and I can see it contents using a WebDav client, but no matter what permissions I put, anytime I try to upload or delete a file from the image I get a 403 error, saying "Forbidden". I can get the WebDav to work on normal shared folders, so I am wondering if it is even possible to share a mounted blank image using WebDav?

It seems if I make an MS-DOS(FAT) image, I can actually make changes to this image file using WebDav, but I cant see how to changer the permissions of the folder. All the methods I have tried do not actually seem to change the file permissions, they default to read and write for everyone.
I am trying to figure out if I am trying to get something to work that is not even possible. I need to be able to limit the size of a folder, share it with specific groups/users in the Open Directory. It also has to be viewable on both Windows and Mac Systems. FTP does not seem to work, since it gives access to the root. I want to be able to have a student/student group post to a wiki, have a website for there project, but they should only have access to this image....
Does anyone know if you can share a mounted image through WebDav, or if there is another way I can setup multiple folders and have websites point to this folder and give only selected users access to the folder for uploading and sharing files?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated

X4200 server, is it possible to use SATA drives instead of SAS drives

Hello,
We are planning to purchase X4200 servers; According to documentation, they use SAS drive, which are quite expensive. So is it possible to use SATA drives? I read somewhere that their interface is similar and SATA can work with SAS.
Thanks
Steve

Hello,
I don't see any SATA drives listed for the X4200.

[CS3 JS SDK] Possible to Use HTTP URLs for Links?

I am attempting to use JavaScript to implement a connector from CS3 (InDesign/InCopy in my case) to our content management system. Our CMS provides an HTTP-based API. By using the HttpConnection object (from the Bridge code, see posts on "httpwebaccess library") I can access our repository using HTTP URLs and, for example, get an InDesign document or INX file (and the UI support in CS3 scripting makes it possible for me to build all the UI components I need without having to write a true plugin).
However, what I *can't* seem to do is create Link objects that use a URL, rather than a File, to access resources.
My goal is to be able to store in our repository InDesign documents that use URLs to other resources in the repository for links (e.g., to graphics and InCopy articles).
However, as far as I can tell from the scripting documentation and my own experiments, the URL property on Link is read-only in JavaScript (even though the scripting API HTML indicates it's a read/write property) and Link instances can only be constructed using File objects.
My question: have I missed some trick in the scripting API (or elsewhere) that would allow me to create links that use URLs instead of files (and having done so would InDesign resolve those URLs?)? Our repository does support WebDAV, so that might be an option, but it would depend on mounting WebDAV services in consistent places on client machines, which is dicey at best, given the weak nature of the WebDAV clients on both Windows and OS X).
Or are my only options to either copy linked resources to the client's local file system (or a shared network drive) or implement a plugin that implements my desired behavior for links?
And if the answer is a plugin, will that even work?
This is in the context of CS3. Has the Link mechanism changed at all in CS4 such that I could do what I want in CS4 where I cannot in CS3?
Thanks,
Eliot

Hi,
It is not possible to use HTTP URLS in CS3. You will have to create a plug-in to use Custom Data Links.
I think it is possible to use HTTP URLs in CS4 as per the User Guide.

Exception access violation using jlong instead of jint

Hi,
I hope you can help me.
I'm using Java5 under Windows XP and I'm developing under Eclipse.
I try to use an "old" c-Application accesed via JNI.
Status Quo is that, I have access to the c-side, over my JNI-conform DLL. My current task is to translate the c-side structs to java-objects. This also works, but only with limitation.
Calling methods bidirectional is working, manipulation a java-object is like a walk on an warm and sunny Saturday afternoon.
But I'm not able to use all possible parameters (for now I have tried to use jobject, jstring, jint, jboolean, jlong).
The first problem I had, were using Strings as parameters, but this now I deal with the loopway over java/lang/object (using java/lang/String results in an access_violation).
The next problem, and the harder one, is, that I cannot use the type long or jlong.
int (jint) is no problem, with int all works fine, but if I change the environment, creating and using long, I allways get an the access_violation shown below.
Is there anything, I need to know?
working c-side-code:
jobject someObject;
jint anIntegerValue;
anIntegerValue =5;
jmethodID mid3 = (*env)->GetMethodID(env, cl, "initReturnSomeObject", "(ILjava/lang/Object;)Ljava/lang/Object;");
               if(mid3 == (jmethodID)0) printf("\ndooofes MethodName4!\n");
                         else {
                              const char* myParams;
                              myParams = "ooooohwow!!!";
                              someObject = (*env)->CallObjectMethod(env, jobj, mid3,
                                         anIntegerValue, (*env)->NewStringUTF(env, myParams));
                         }wokring java-side-code
public Object initReturnSomeObject(int i, Object obj) {
          String s = (String)obj;
          System.out.println("String: "+s+"\nInteger: "+i);
          some = new SomeObject(s,i);
          if(some==null) System.out.println("Some is not yet initialized, FEAR!!!!\n");
          else System.out.println("Yoh, I'm soooo many good!! \nSome:\nString: "+some.getS1()+"\nInt: "+some.getI1()+"\n");
          return (Object)some;
so, und this code, doesn't work. you can see, the changes are dramatically!! ;)
sorry for my sarcasm. I do not know, why it doesn't work.
jlong aLongValue;
aLongValue = 2;
jmethodID mid3 = (*env)->GetMethodID(env, cl, "initReturnSomeObject", "(JLjava/lang/Object;)Ljava/lang/Object;");

                                        aLongValue, (*env)->NewStringUTF(env, myParams));

Hi,
I'm quite sure, the signature is correct. For failure check, yesterday I ran javap to check the signature, but I do also mean, that I changed the signature afterwards for several time. And, it works ;) at least the way, using Integer.
Trying to use java/lang/String everytime I got the Error, that the method could not be found - this is the part, I was wrong in my description. So the error-Message is a different one.
Belonging to the question for assumptions I made... it's difficult. I'm quite new to JNI, so, I don't know, what I can assume to do. The Method call seems to be a kind of reflection-mechanism. So I assume that the behaviour is similar. But reflection I'm not very firm, either ^^.
What I do assume is, that the parameter-value J fits to the java-type jlong. But a work around on this, I will try today. getting the jlong into an char* or using long instead of jlong or using Ljava/lang/Long; or a casted Long as Ljava/lang/Object; ...
I'm anxious to the ideas, I will have, bypassing this point. if there is no way, I will write a file, send a email or something like this ;)
Thx for thinking about my problem jschel!! It's great not to be alone.

Is it possible to use backup files previously copied to an external hard drive to backup an iPhone?

My sister froze her iPhone by trying to turn it off during a software update (not sure why) and restored it because she thought it would fix it. Unfortunately she unintentionally deleted all of her data and settings. She doesn't use iCloud, so I'm assuming all her files are backed up to her computer when she syncs her iPhone, but using iTunes I can only find two backup points using Edit>Preferences>Devices, both in the past few minutes. I know that each sync overrides the last backup files instead of creating newer ones, so apparently older backup files from her computer can't be used to recover her data. However, we both periodically use an external hard drive to back up our computers by basically dragging and dropping our files onto it, so there is an earlier version of her User folder on the external hard drive. It would definitely be preferable to use the backup files from a few months ago that are on the external hard drive and lose a few photos than to lose years of data, so would it be possible to direct iTunes to those backup files (AppData etc) instead of the ones saved on her computer hard drive? There's not any kind of browse option I can see that could allow me to get iTunes to search for backup files on the external hard drive and I'm not computer savvy enough to manually find the files and connect them to iTunes. Is it even possible to use backup files from an external hard drive? Do I have to replace the ones that exist on her computer now?

Is it possible to use both an ILB and an ELB (listening on the same port) in the same Azure cloud service?

I'm building a test Lync deployment on Azure; yes, I know this is not supported, hence "test".
Lync Front-End servers expose two set of web services, one for internal users and one for external ones; they listen on different ports (443 and 4443) on the same servers; when external services are published, you need a reverse proxy or a port forwarding
in order to map port 443 of a public IP address to port 4443 of the Front-End server(s). When you have multiple Front-End servers in a pool, you also need to load-balance them.
So, a typical Lync deployment looks like this:
       Internal users
               |
               443
                  |
          Internal LB
        192.168.0.20
        443         443
          |               |
   Lync FE 1     Lync FE 2
192.168.0.21 192.168.0.22
          |               |
      4443        4443
          External LB
       Public IP Address
                 |
              443
                 |
       External Users
This should be easily replicated in Azure, as it supports both external load balancing and internal load balancing. They are even supported together in the same cloud service, so this configuration should be easy. However, it looks like "should"
is the keyword here.
After creating the external load balanced endpoint (which listens on external port 443 and forwards to port 4443 on the servers), I'm trying to create an internal load balancer and add internal endpoints to is; however, while the ILB can be created successfully,
adding an internal endpoint listening on port 443 and forwarding to port 443 on the servers fails miserably, with an error stating that port 443 is already in use by another endpoint:
Update-AzureVM : BadRequest : Port 443 is already in use by one of the endpoints in this deployment. Ensure that the port numbers are unique across endpoints within a deployment.
For reference, my commands are:
Add-AzureInternalLoadBalancer -InternalLoadBalancerName "LyncILB" -ServiceName "LyncFrontEnd" -SubnetName "LabSubnet" -StaticVNetIPAddress 192.168.0.20
(This completes successfully)
Get-AzureVM LYNCFE1 | Add-AzureEndpoint -Name "Https-Int" -Protocol "tcp" -LocalPort 443 -PublicPort 443 -LBSetName "HttpsIntLB" -DefaultProbe -InternalLoadBalancerName "LyncILB"
(This fails)
The existing external endpoint is configured as such:
Get-AzureVM LYNCFE1 | get-azureendpoint
LBSetName : HttpsExtLB
LocalPort : 4443
Name : HTTPS-Ext
Port : 443
Protocol : tcp
Vip :
ProbePath :
ProbePort : 4443
ProbeProtocol : tcp
ProbeIntervalInSeconds : 15
ProbeTimeoutInSeconds : 31
EnableDirectServerReturn : False
Acl : {}
InternalLoadBalancerName :
IdleTimeoutInMinutes :
LoadBalancerDistribution :
The error doesn't even make a lot of sense; the external load balancer listens on a public IP address, while the internal load balancer listens on a private IP address in the internal network; there
shouldn't be any conflict here... however it looks like there is one instead.
Why doesn't this work? Am I doing something wrong, or is Azure networking just being silly as usual again?

Hello Massimo Pascucci,
The issue that you are facing when creating an endpoint with internal loadbalancer is the limitation of not allowing same ports to be listening under a single cloud service. This reason for this is that there is a limitation of only one private IP (Also
known as the Internal load balanced IP) per cloud service.
There is also a limitation on the Internal load balancer more than one port to be published per load balancer:

How to modify a lookup field-type to use checkbox instead of radiobutton?

How to modify a lookup field-type to use checkbox instead of radiobutton?
I would like to modify the behavior for the lookup field.
Normally you get a screen where it is possible to search through a lookup. The items resulted from the search are listed as radiobutton items. Therefore you can select only one at the time to be added.
Is it possible to have the items to be listed as checkbox instead? So that you can check multiple items and therefore be able to add multiple items at the time?
For example:
To add the user to 10 different groups on MS-AD.
It is desired to have the ability to check multiple groups to be added instead only one at the time.
My client would like to use this feature in many other situations.

Displaying will not be a big deal but with that you have to customize the action class and its working as well.

Query on integrating windows file server into SAP KM using WEBDAV

hi
I have sucessfully integrated windows file server into SAP KM using WEBDAV. I have query in it regarding the possible validation against the portal Database user. Can we configure such that the user comparison happens for LDAP as well as database user. Have anyone configured such a scenario?
Regards,
Ganesh N

Hi Ganesh,
this should work in principle.
However you would need a user in Active Directory for each user in the portal database that should connect to the file server if you are using the SSO22KerbMap Module as I assume.
In my whitepaper I have mentioned this for the internal user index_service that does only exist in the portal database.

Possible to use menuBar with task flow based ADF menus?

Hello -
I've just worked through the " [Create ADF Menus for Page Navigation|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/11/cuecards111/adf_set_43/ccset43_ALL.html] " tutorial. It shows how to create menus based on your task flows.

Hi,
The XML menu model extends the Trinidad TreeModel, which extends Collection model. This allows you to access the hierarchical menu structure so that you can use af:iterator to build a structure to display in a af:menuBar
