Issues with XML Content and Actions to import RRA in FPN (EP7 SPS13)

Hi,
I am having trouble using the import functionality of XML Content and Actions to transport Remote Role Assignments between Consumer Portals. Whenever I want to upload an XML file containing RRA for Roles and Groups that were already assigned to eachother, the import fails and nothing is updated. The error I get:
UMException. Data could not commit to Role: gp:/[full ID of portal role]
Anyone with experience in how to use this?
Kind regards,
Christian Staalby

hi,
@Maksim :
When user launch an URL like http://myserver:port/irj/portal/ import/*filename=C:\test.xml, he is requested to provide username and password; as this link is a shortcut for the upload xml page, there is a check of authorization and only portal admin that have authorization and permission on this page/iview will be able to upload xml file through the URL. Hope this clarify.
@Kumar :
thank you for your answer. What a pity to not be able to pass parameter through standard portal page/iview particularly knowing that we can pass paramater through many kinds of iviews (transactional iview, url iview, VC iview...). I explored some option on file com.sap.portal.ivs.init.par but this was unsuccessful. However, thanks to this [link bellow|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/ComponenttouploadXMLfilewithPCD+objects], I was able to upload through URL the XML file.
The problem is that I can upload only XML file that are stored in the server not in the local user computer. My requirement is to be able to upload local XML file stored on user's computer.
If someone could provide and idea/solution, I would be very grateful.
Cheers

  • Pass parameter through standard page "import xml content and actions"

    Dear Portal experts,
    As you know, a standard portal page is configured to allow the import of XML file. It is located in the portal in the path system admin -> transport -> xml content and actions -> import
    I configured a quick link u201Cimportu201D to the page so now the link http://myserver:port/irj/portal/import allows me to access directly to this screen.
    What I would like to do now is to pass the parameter related to u201Cfile nameu201D through this screen meaning that I would like that http://myserver:port/irj/portal/ import/filename=C:\test.xml  fills automatically the fields u201CXML fileu201D with  C:\test.xml 
    Please do you know how to achieve this ?
    Thank you very much and regards

  • Import of XML file failed in portal using XML Content and Action

    Hi Friends,
    I am trying to import the simple XML file which is just creating the folder in the PORTAL_CONTENT using XML CONTENT AND ACTIONS  which is one way of creating the portal content. GO TO SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION > TRANSPORT > XML CONTENT AND ACTIONS > IMPORT.
    The reason for using this import tool is to upload the backend Business roles, which is not not working on our corporate portal. To test the import functionality I used the following xml file (I got this XML file by exporting the test folder in the portal using the same tool)

  • Issue with XML namespace and Message structure

    Hi All,
    I am using Oracle SOA Suite 11.1.1.4. I have SOA web service application one-way messaging wherein I keep receiving messages from the third party. The issue I am facing is with the XML namespaces which conflicts with the third party's message structure. The details are as below.
    Our Web-service WSDL*
    <schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified"
    targetNamespace="http://amb.com/cad/RealTimeService"

    </schema>
    Using SOAP UI tool a HospitalDiversionMessage Request for the above WSDL will look like*
    <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:real="http://amb.com/cad/RealTimeService" xmlns:ns="http://schemas.com/cad/datamodel/divert/1.0.0">

    Questions*
    1) I cannot figure out how the SOAPUI tool or SOA substitutes "real" as the namespace prefix for the WSDL based HospitalDiversionMessage and what I need to do at my end to match the message structure as per what the third party needs.
    2) I need ns0 namespace prefix to whole of Diversion xml element. Currently it is "real" at top Diversion element and "ns" for its children
    Please suggest, I can attach the other imported XSD if need be.

    Questions
    1) I cannot figure out how the SOAPUI tool or SOA substitutes "real" as the namespace prefix for the WSDL based HospitalDiversionMessage and what I need to do at my end to match the message structure as per what the third party needs.The xml namespace suffixes like real and ns0 are just references used by the XML Parsers. For that matter the "real" can be xyz as well.
    You dont need to make any changes as long as the xml namespace suffixes refer to the same namespace.
    If you see the first soapUI xml and the third party xml have the same namespace references and hence it is not a problem:
    <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:real="*http://amb.com/cad/RealTimeService*" xmlns:ns="http://schemas.com/cad/datamodel/divert/1.0.0">
    <soapenv:Header/>
    <soapenv:Body>
    <*real*:Diversion>
    <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns0="*http://amb.com/cad/RealTimeService*" xmlns:ns="http://schemas.com/cad/datamodel/divert/1.0.0">
    <soapenv:Header/>
    <soapenv:Body>
    <*ns0*:Diversion>
    2) I need ns0 namespace prefix to whole of Diversion xml element. Currently it is "real" at top Diversion element and "ns" for its childrenBased on this, logically both the xmls represent the same xml message. And hence you dont need to make any changes.
    Please refer to the basics of xml namespaces using the following links:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_namespace

    Let us know if you still need clarification.

    Your XML processor should just ignore the tags it doesn't understand -
    no problem.
    It sounds as if you are trying to create a very simplified XML parser
    that looks for text patterns. I advise against this. There are many
    tools designed to parse XML and which will take care of the special
    issues. A simple text approach will collapse the first time someone
    types an ampersand "&" in their text...

  • How do I import an old home movie on DVD into iMovie with video_ts content and .vob files

    Hi, as a new mac user I would appreciate any help to use imovie to import an old home movie on DVD with movie_ts content and .vob

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion and Mavericks even though they have it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • Continuing font encoding and tag issues with snow leopard and CS4oI

    I am looking for help with a font handling issue with snow leopard and cs4 Indesign. Despite numerous calls and hours on the phone neither Apple nor Adobe has been helpful. I have had this issue open with Adobe since oct 5 but they remain totally unresponsive to date. I need to be able to use Type 1 fonts and do the following , export a pdf from Indesign with the following attributes: 1) xml tags for stories and objects. 2) have the fonts encoded as ansi and embedded.
    Some additional information  - exporting to ps is not an option as it destroys the xml tags. and doesn't guarantee that the fonts won't become CID or some other odd encoding.
    As it stands now,
    Leopard (10.5.8) and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
    Leopard (10.5.8) and CS4 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
    Snow leopard and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts and xml tags
    Snow leopard and CS4 creates custom subsetted fonts and some xml tags.
    If any one has any advice on how to force specific font encodings from CS4 pdf exports so that i can preserve the tags and get the correct fonts I would be grateful.

    The font encoding is not a function of the OS version, but rather of how a font is internally encoded and the content you are representing with the font.
    If you are seeing a difference between MacOS 10.5 and 10.6 with the same Adobe software, it probably has something to do with use of a system font that is somehow different from one version of the OS to another. InDesign does not use any of the OS' font handling software.
    Assuming that the fonts are embedded, subset or not, what is your issue with whether a font is ANSI-encoded, custom-encoded, or CID-encoded? It should make no difference for purposes of workflow beyond InDesign for software that adheres to the PDF specification (including all versions of PDF from 1.3 and up to 1.7 plus ISO 32000-1 PDF and all versions of PDF/X and PDF/A).
    Neither InDesign or any other Adobe application provides user choices for the encoding since it shouldn't make a difference. The encodings chosen by Adobe's core technology components are for a combination of optimization and to support proper text search, copy, etc.

  • Polulate Text frames with XML content - PLEASE help me.

    Hi guys,
    I'm trying to import some xml data to an indesign file. Here are the steps I'm doing:
    1- create new document
    2- create master page
    3- create empty text fields in the master to be tagged
    4- import tags from xml
    5- import xml
    then it simply don't auto populate the text fields wiith the xml content.
    I've already spent about 10 hours trying to figure out what can be the problem...
    My structure in indesign (BEFORE importing XML):
    businesscards
    Card
    employeeName
    employeePosition
    employeeAddressln1
    employeeAddressln2
    employeePhone
    employeeEmail
    My structure in indesign (AFTER importing XML):
    businesscards
    Card <!-- has dropdown arrow with xml content inside -->
    Card <!-- has dropdown arrow with xml content inside -->
    Card <!-- has dropdown arrow with xml content inside -->
    Card <!-- has dropdown arrow with xml content inside -->
    employeeName
    employeePosition
    employeeAddressln1
    employeeAddressln2
    employeePhone
    employeeEmail
    But it doesn't populate the text frames...
    I've already tried to write text in the text frames and tagged them, so I can see those colored brackets. But it doesn't work and makes a mess in the structure.
    Please, can someone help me, do you know a good step by step tutorial online? What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance

    It worked! thanks ... But...
    But only if I don't apply to the Master when I apply to the master all the other cards have the same content as the first of the XML. :(
    Even when I try to create multiple pages (cards) with no Master page (too time consuming), I can't figure out a way of having the other cards filed with the remaining data of the XML. :(
    I don't want to drag the elements one by one to every single card (they are so many...)
    Is there a way of having the structure organized in a way to have indesign auto populate and auto create pages?
    thanks for any kind of advice.

  • Issues with Exchange Account and Q10

    Well, I hate to be writing this, but I'm hoping that there might be someone out there that can help get past some first day issues I am experiencing.
    The background: I have a long history with legacy BlackBerry devices, and almost as much history with iOS devices. My most recent phone was an iPhone 4S, and I make extensive use of iCloud to keep my iMacs, iPhone, and iPad connected in real-time. The setup worked. It wasn't perfect, but it worked. However, because I used to have a BlackBerry device (most recent the 9930) and because I don't use the iPhone for more than e-mail, iMessage, and phone calls (generally speaking), I decided to give the newest BlackBerry device a shot. So I bought a Q10.
    At this point I feel compelled to say that the hardware is everything I had hoped it to be. It's solid, has a good weight, and appears to be made very well. I have no complaints with the hardware, including the keyboard (a big selling factor for me), so I won't really get into the hardware as the issues I am experiencing all have to do with the OS. Let me also say that I am very familiar with the iCloud integration issues (missing Contact photos and disabled Calendar sync), so I'm not voicing a complaint over those issues in this thread.
    I have connected my Exchange account. I used to have everything in Exchange before I moved my entire computing world over to Apple, and now I keep Exchange around for e-mail. Therefore, I have no contacts, no tasks, no notes, very limited calendar entries, and a massive amount of e-mail on the Exchange server. However, to test everything out, I have added a single contact record so I can see it show up on the phone and be able to test two-way sync between the Q10 and Exchange. And here is where the first issues crop up. It looks like Exchange connects and then disconnects at random. For example, if I open my Contacts on the phone, I see the one contact (called John Doe). Then, as the phone is sitting there with the screen on, the contact will disappear and I will see a "Start adding contact to your contact list" notice on the screen. Then, after a short period of time, the single contact will return. It is important to note that the entire time this is happening, the All Contacts option is selected in the list so that all available contacts are shown. Additionally, I have SIM card contacts turned off, but if I alter the selection in the view list (All Contacts, Favorites, etc.), the SIM contacts will re-appear when I return to the All Contacts view. At the same time, even though I have turned off SIM Contacts in the settings, the setting has reverted to show SIM Contacts. If I turn off the setting again, SIM Contacts still show up. Possibly related: I can't delete contacts on the SIM card, no matter how many times I try, and it now it seems that I can't get SIM Contacts to go away in the Contacts app.
    Likewise, Exchange seems to connect and disconnect from Calendar. I go to the calendar and move day by day to June 15th. I see an entry that I know is from Exchange (I have no other connected calendars at this time), and it is in blue. I change the calendar color to green and the entry changes color, as expected. However, if I jump back to today and then scroll day by day to get to June 15th again, the calendar entry is missing. After a few seconds, the entry re-appears, but it is, once again, in blue. The setting has reverted itself, and it seems like Exchange is completely disconnecting and automatically reconnecting to the phone like I am setting it up again for the first time. Very odd. As I'm typing this, I just saw something odd. I swiped to wake up the phone, and the active frames screen was the visible screen. The calendar app is still running (since I left it running, minimized, when the phone went to sleep) and the date shown in the active card was Jan 1, not Jun 8. Why? The date (and time) on the phone is correct and is set automatically by the cellular system.
    Nevertheless, looking at BlackBerry Hub, I see only two e-mails in my Inbox from Exchange, even though I have roughly a dozen in my Inbox. The rest are filed in sub-folders. And bam! Just like that... I get the "Add Accounts" screen while looking at the Hub. In other words, as I was typing this, I first saw two Exchange e-mails and then, out of nowhere, the e-mails disappear and I see the "Add Accounts" screen as if no account has been connected.
    So... first question: Is anyone else experiencing this issue? This is very strange, and very frustrating. Second: could this be related to the large amount of e-mails I have stored on Exchange, some of which have large attachments? I selected "Forever" as the sync history length. I have my concerns, however, if this is related to loading historical e-mails onto the phone (in other words, the first sync with Exchange) because there is no reason that I can understand that the phone would blank out as if no account was connected at all. I can understand lag and stuttering while the history is syncing, but not a complete disconnect and reconnect. Considering all of the issues with the one and only contact record disappearing, the calendar entry for Jun 15th disappearing and then reappearing with the wrong calendar color, and e-mail in my Inbox incomplete (two of a dozen e-mails) and ultimately disappearing, I feel like this OS just has some real, significant issues.
    Full disclosure: I do want iCloud to work and am a fan of Apple products, but the lack of full iCloud sync support is not a big enough issue for me to want to send back this phone and/or see it fail so miserably. I will happily move my info from iCloud into Exchange, Google, and/or set up a new Exchange account for personal use (Office 365) because I am not wedded to iCloud per se. But, I won't go through that trouble if I can't even get my first account to work properly. It should also be noted that I do have a basic Google account (non-paid) and I had previously attempted to connect to it. However, I was experiencing the exact same issues with contacts disappearing, e-mail disappearing, etc. So I deleted that account. Truth be told, I deleted the Exchange account as well, and then re-connected to Exchange only to test one account at a time. Unfortunately, even with Exchange only, I am seeing very strange and frustrating behavior as described above.
    Help... please. I want this to work but the frustration I am feeling is growing worse by the hour.

    To follow-up with this issue:
    I ended up performing a security wipe on my device. The security wipe finished, and I was about to reconnect with Exchange when I decided to visit our host's web site to see if they had any articles covering the issues I was experiencing. While they didn't have anything specific, I did find a step-by-step guide to connecting a BB10 device to Exchange... and right there at the end, it said "Do NOT enable memo sync."
    I contacted support, and the rep told me that OS 10 has an issue with memo sync and it can cause all sorts of unpredictable behavior. Now, whether or not this is accurate I can say this: So far, the device is not disconnecting and reconnecting like it was before. Problem is, is this a result of not enabling memo sync, or is this a result of the security wipe?
    I may have overlooked it, but I don't recall reading anything about that anywhere else. I'm tempted to try re-enabling the memo sync to see if everything blows up again. At least that way I can see for myself if the memo sync is a real issue. Of course, perhaps it's an issue with SherWeb (our host) specifically. Hm...
    Anyway, for those that were interested, and for those that may come along in the future with a similar situation, the strange behavior that I first reported is no longer happening. I just don't know if it was a result of a security wipe or a result of not enabling memo sync with Exchange.

  • Issues with iCloud synchronisation and contacts over two or more devices.  iTouch and iPad2 sync with different results from iMac.  Thoughts?

    Has any one experienced issues with iCloud synchronisation and contacts over two or more devices? The primary machine is an iMac running Lion. Address Book was created from vcf file (backup of address book prior to moving to iCloud). iTouch replicates Contacts just fine and matches the Address Book on the iMac. The iPad 2 does not showing only 123 contacts where there should be 200. I have turned off iCloud on both devices thus erasing the iCloud content of both devices and staring from scratch with both devices with identical results. Even turned off iCloud on the iMac and erased the Address Book and rebuilt with the same results. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I am going nuts.....

  • Issues with Office 2010 and Acrobat Pro 8

    Good Day All;
    We are in the middle of upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 with Office 2010 and I was wondering if there are any issues with importing Office documents into Acrobat Pro 8. I have found out that there are a couple of issue with Office 201 and LifeCycle Designer.
    Any comments would be helpful
    Regards
    Chomp

    Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Microsoft Office 2010 and the PDFMaker plugins will not install. Only Acrobat X is compatible with Office 2010, and at this time only in 32-bit mode.
    Acrobat 8 is also not officially compatible with Windows 7, again Acrobat X is the first version to carry approval for that OS. It will still install, but Adobe cannot guarantee it will operate perfectly in all cases, and doesn't provide install support for that combination.

  • Issue with XML encoding

    Hi,
    I am querying an SAP instance for data, and I am getting back the data in an XML document...to which I need apply XSL transformation.
    The instance is an German one... so I am getting a few strange characters because of which, the parser is uanble to apply the transformation.
    I wrote a small java program to get more info on this particular character causing the problem, it turns out to be an ISOControl character. The properties (got by using the Character class API) are as below.
    1. Character 1:
    The getDirectionality is:0
    The getNumericValue is:21
    The getType is:2
    The isDefined is:true
    The isISOControl is:false
    The isMirrored is:false
    The isSpaceChar is:false
    The isUnicodeIdentifierPart is:true
    The isUnicodeIdentifierStart is:true
    The isWhitespace is:false
    2. character 2:
    The getDirectionality is:9
    The getNumericValue is:-1
    The getType is:15
    The isDefined is:true
    The isISOControl is:true
    The isMirrored is:false
    The isSpaceChar is:false
    The isUnicodeIdentifierPart is:true
    The isUnicodeIdentifierStart is:false
    The isWhitespace is:false
    These characters appear to be white space in normal text editors...
    This is how I am applying the transformation
    TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
    Transformer transformer =
    tFactory.newTransformer(
    new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource
    (XSLURI)
    StringReader sr = new StringReader(xmlToApply);
    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
    transformer.transform(
    new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource(sr),
    new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult(sw)
    return sw.toString();
    I have tried to use "UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1" and other encodings, but in vain. Appreciate any pointers on this...

    Also the postings are from 2 different perspectives... this is to address the issue that I am facing with XML parsing and how to eliminate that using XML apis...
    My other posting about a possible work around (encoding) for the problem creating string...

  • Driver issues with HP Z440 and SCCM 2012 R2?

    Greetings, we received our first charges of Z440 workstations last week. We immediately downloaded the HP Z440 driverpack from http://ftp.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/HP_Driverpack_Matrix_x64.html and imported those into our System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2. Of course we did use the Win 8.1 drivers to inject into our boot image and wie normally imported the Windows 7 drivers for the Windows 7 deployment.Well, unfortunately SCCM WinPE5 does not show any drives installed, even with the correct drivers installed. We even tried to import  the WinPE 5 driver pack and the drivers from SoftPaq download manager, but none of those seemed to work. Is there any known issues with Z440s drivers and SCCM? Please help me out on this, it's pretty urgent. Thank you & kind regards

    The problem cannot be replicated. My Z440 has an 1TB WD SATA drive attached to port 0 of sSATA 6 Gb/s. Download and install the ´Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) for Windows 8.1 Update´:   https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=39982 Download and extract the ´Intel Rapid Storage Technology Enterprise Utility and Driver for Microsoft Windows (64-bit Editions)´, 4.1.0.1046 B(12 Nov 2014), sp69762.exe:http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=6978829&swItemId=wk_139802_1&swEnvOid=4059 Copy the IRST driver “64bit_RSTe_4.1.0.1046_F6_Drivers” abd sub folders into “C:\z440_x64\64bit_RSTe_4.1.0.1046_F6_Drivers” Open the ´Deployment and Imaging Tools Environment´ command window as administrator and create bootable USB media:copype amd64 c:\winpe_x64 Dism /Mount-image /ImageFile:c:\winpe_x64\media\sources\boot.wim /index:1 /MountDir:c:\winpe_x64\mountDism /Add-Driver /image:C:\winpe_x64\mount /driver:C:\z440_x64 /recurseDism /Get-Drivers /image:C:\winpe_x64\mountdism /unmount-wim /Mountdir:c:\winpe_x64\mount /commitMakeWinPEMedia /UFD c:\winpe_x64 d: Boot Z440 to F10 Setup.Set Factory Defaults and exit.Boot to WinPE media created above.I also tested the wim file as the boot image in SCCM 2012.

  • Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

    Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

    That's what I would have thought, but even after saving the setting, as soon as I shut down my computer or log out of Mail, it automatically defaults back to 25. It's a bit frustrating.
    Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of those horrible pop-up banners but still have my glass sound and number of emails in the red dot when I get an email...
    These little tweaks are the only thing I HATE about upgrading my OS.
