JavaScript and Content Server Portlets

Header, footer, news, custom, doesnt matter. Can you use javascript in them and if so, to what extent? For mouseovers, animation, div tag management and manipulation, etc...

You can use just about any javascript you want in any Content Server presentation template including ones that are used for portlets.
However, you should be careful to name javascript functions and global variables uniquely so that they do not conflict with any other javascript on the page. To do this, you can append the item id to function and variable names, for example,
function doSomething<pcs:value expr="pcs_id"></pcs:value>() {
return true;

Dynamically Updating Content Server Portlets

[urlHi, I am currently having difficulty dynamically updating content server portlets. I have a portlet of the following form:[/url]
ArticleName Author Title Date mystory author1 title1 04/05/01
story2 author2 title2 06/07/04
story author3 title3 01/02/03
So I have this table where each one of the line items is an article in the content server. So, for example the first line item is an article "mystory" by "author1", with title "title1" and date "04/05/01" additionally there is an article text field, but this isn't displayed unless I click on the article name.
I can set up the basics of this portlet, but when I try to add any real functionality I run into one of two problems.
First Problem: Passing Information
I cannot find a way to pass information between content portlets. For instance, if the user would like to "re-sort" this table based on "date", I would like to have the user click on the "date" column heading and then reload the page. To do so, I would have to pass the section name back to the page so that it could resort based on this data. I have not found anyway to effectively pass information to a content server portlet. I am building these pages through use of the presentation template framework (so I can have access to the content items) but that seems to change the way portlets are handled.
I got around this limitation with a regular portlet by creating an intermediary page which captures passed information and stores it to the session state. Once the information was in the session state, it is accessible to the portlet on the first page. However, this only works because remote portlets do not change their session id once loaded. Content Server portlets, on the other hand, change their session id after every reload of the browser or page change. I can send information from a content server portlet to an intermediary page, but I cannot send it back to the portlet because the session id has changed so I have no idea of knowing where to send the information. I can write it to a session state, but by the time I return to the portal page, the content server has changed its session id so it does not know where to look any longer.
I suppose it would be possible to create an application state variable and append it with some static token (if there is some static variable per portal session) but I would rather not have to deal with application variables if at all possible.
Second Problem: Dynamically Updating PCS Tags
Even if I were able to the pass information back to my content server portlet, I run into another issue. The easiest way to sort content server items is using the filter command in the pcs:foreach tag. So, if I wanted to sort by author name, I could do something like the following <pcs:foreach var="item" expr="filter(folderByName('content'), filtered.name == '"name")" or something like that (the syntax may be incorrect, I just wrote this off the top of my head). However, it appears that the way the presentation templates are compiled goes in the order of PCS tags THEN JSP. So I would have no way of dynamically changing the variable on which I sort. For example, if I clicked on "Date" above in my table, I would like to be able to dynamically change my code so that I sort on date, and not name. I cannot find a solution to this problem.
My workaround is to use the pcs tags to write out all the possible sortings to java array objects. This gives me access to the data on a JSP level and based on whatever the user will chose, I could then display that array. While this works, it is extremely ghetto and inefficient. Any help or suggestions would be fantastic.
Thanks a lot,
Jason Grauel

Searching multiple Content Server Portlets

I am able to search single Content Server Portlet and get results using following lines of code.
IPTSession ptSession = new InProcSession();
ptSession.Connect(AppSettings.PTUserName(), AppSettings.PTPassword(), null);
IPTSearchRequest ptSearchRequest = ptSession.GetSearchRequest();
ptSearchRequest.SetSettings(PT_SEARCH_SETTING.PT_SEARCHSETTING_APPS, PT_SEARCH_APPS.PT_SEARCH_APPS_CONTENT);
ptSearchRequest.SetSettings(PT_SEARCH_SETTING.PT_SEARCHSETTING_ASSOC_PORTLET_ID, 10468);
IPTSearchQuery ptSearchQuery = ptSearchRequest.CreateBasicQuery(query, null);
IPTSearchResponse ptSearchResponse = ptSearchRequest.Search(ptSearchQuery);
return ptSearchResponse;
However Type Cast exception comes at run time when we pass array containing multiple Portlets ID although code gets compiled
IPTSession ptSession = new InProcSession();
ptSession.Connect(AppSettings.PTUserName(), AppSettings.PTPassword(), null);
IPTSearchRequest ptSearchRequest = ptSession.GetSearchRequest();
ptSearchRequest.SetSettings(PT_SEARCH_SETTING.PT_SEARCHSETTING_APPS, PT_SEARCH_APPS.PT_SEARCH_APPS_CONTENT);
int[][] ar = new int[2][];
int[] int1 = new int[]{ 0, 10468 };
int[] int2 =new int[]{ 0, 23757 };
ar[0] = int1;
ar[1] = int2;
ptSearchRequest.SetSettings(PT_SEARCH_SETTING.PT_SEARCHSETTING_ASSOC_PORTLET_ID, ar);
IPTSearchQuery ptSearchQuery = ptSearchRequest.CreateBasicQuery(query, null);
IPTSearchResponse ptSearchResponse = ptSearchRequest.Search(ptSearchQuery);
return ptSearchResponse;
It will be quite useful if anyone of you can help us if Plumtree API support this. Or else we need to build another layer to search each Portlet and merge results.
Platform Details:
Plumtree Portal 5.0.4
Content Server 6.1

Hi Praveen,
I have not done portal configuration for SAP DMS. But as per the link below, you can assign multiple SAP DMS repository managers which can refer to separate content servers.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_dimp50/helpdata/EN/32/2a840d132af04fa2f0b31ebf3e8a78/content.htm
Wait for other expert comments if they can answer your query.

Plumtree - IIS and Content server - tomcat

Can you please let me know that I have installed the plumtree on IIS. Now I have to install Collaboration 3.01 and Content Server. But the content server and Collaboration can be installed on following servers
- Weblogic
- Tomcat
- Websphere
Then can you please let me know how do plumtree installed on IIS will interact with Content server and Collaboration. IS there any way. This is very critical please reply soon.

------- Michael Bruce wrote on 7/14/04 7:41 AM -------Both Collab and content servers run on a Java server framework. That means that you have to have Tomcat, WebLogic, or WebSphere running and hosting those applications. Portal server can run on IIS. Portal interacts with Collab (as well as content, workflow, your portlets, Lotus notes integration, and many more) through http. The Portal makes a request to collab for content. Collab receives that request and processes it. The results are returned (Response) to the portal and the portal renders them as needed.
To re-phrase, IIS do not interact with Collab or Content servers. Portal does, and it interacts using HTTP.
Please let us know if that answers your question.
Hope that helps,Michael [email protected]

Document stores in both SAP database and Content Server

Hi,
We don't want to store doc. in SAP database and chose to use content server. We have KPro checked in configuration also.
Our basis team has created a content repository ZP that points to the content server, in the document area.. they enter "ARCHLINK" instead of DMS. So they told me to create doc. and pick this new ZP to store the doc. But we I created a doc. in CV01N, went to check in the original, the new repository ZP is not on the list of choice to pick from. So I cannot store the doc. in that new content repository.
Our basis team told me that if we use DMS in the document area, the doc. stores in both SAP database and Content Server. We don't want to have doc. stores in SAP database that's why we have content server.
How can I create DMS and store in content server only (not SAP database) ?
Thank you,
Sam Schwartzberg

Hi Samantha,
While check-in activity are you able to choose the new content repository i.e. ZP?
If not then use t-code OAC0 and while creating the repository check whether the certificate is activated by basis or not .
If not then you need to activate the certificate for the new repositoty in CSADMIN then only it will appear in the list while "check-in" the dcouments.
Please check for the same. Also check the t-code OACT , this new repository is shown or not.
I hope this will resolve the query.

Ravindra

Configuration RCM and Content Server

Hi,
We want to use RMS (Record Management System) to manage documents (.doc, .xls, pdf...) and save these documents on content server.
How can I configurate RCM and Content Server?
Please give me link to manual.

Hello,
I will suggest you to better to go with VAULT object setting in DMS. Because if you use content server then there will be few constraints. like you can access doc only via sap and its related objects. but via VAULT setting you have sepearte system where you store it and physically access it at any time without going via SAP and its related object.
only u need to provide the ADMIN rights for system maintenance.

Content Server Portlet Template Searching

I am trying to use the Community Directory Portlet Template. I basically used it as it came (no editting of templates). I created a couple of folders and added & published content items in those folders.
The problem is that the Search within the portlet is not returning anything (even searching for '*') returns nothing.
Is there some setting I missed or something? I've tried publishing the whole folder from Content Server Explorer and still no luck. Searching for text in the published items from the Content Server Explorer does work, but searching from the portlet does not.
Thanks.

Hi Raj ,
ORA-01013: user requested cancel of current operation error comes up usually in 2 cases :
1. When CS is losing DB connection intermittently
2. DB is timing out with the queries being fired from the UCM
Add the config variable DatabaseConnectionKeepAliveInterval=300 (for SCS to send Keep Alive Packet to the network so that the connectio drop is avoided)
The value provided is ins secs.
Secondly drop / rebuild the indexes for the following tables :
DOCMETA , COUNTERS, DCOUMENTS , REVISIONS
Then execute the statistics procedure on the DB so that all the indexes are updated with the latest db stats.
Test to see if the issue still persists.
Hope this helps
Thanks

Sorry I forgot to add this information to my previous post.
Please note that I am using RDBMS Authenticator in 8.1 SP2 with oracle 9.2.0
and the set up is very fine with no problem. Order of the Authenticator
changed with RDBMS Authenticator as the first one.
Thanks,

Content Server Portlets Not Displaying

Help!
We're running Portal v5.04, Java under Windows, Content Server v6.0, Tomcat v4.1.31. Multi-machine installation...
After logging into the portal as Administrator (or some user with admin privileges), we get an error where the Content Server Administration portlet is placed saying "Content Administration cannot be displayed due to an unknown error.". Get the same thing with any other Content Portlet...
This installation was fine beginning of last week, but started showing this problem late in the week. All of the diags I know of for testing Content, Collab, and Studio (all installed on the same server) show all greens. Tried looking at logs - nothing. Tried PTSpy during login (portlet is on "My Home" page - should display automatically) - nothing remarkable.
We have multiple admins, and it's possible that something was changed (unbeknownst to me). Frustrated and not sure even where to start looking for a solution to this. Any Ideas?
Thanks!
Mike Sanders, LLUMC

The fact that bouncing EBS fixes the issue temporarily indicates that the problem is most likely on the EBS end, but we haven't encountered that specific issue. What OS are you using to host EBS? Are you purging the J2EE cache when you bounce the services?
Feel free to reach out to Anne or myself if you'd like to dive into this. We could test with an alternate content server to see if that helps isolate the problem.
Best,
John Hobart

Solution Manager and Content Server / KW

Hey guys,
Im supposed to assess the advantages of using a content server instead of the database used by SolMan to store documents.
Found some articles about connecting the content server but got confussed about the whole knowledge warehouse thing that seems somehow to be integrated in SolMan.
Apparently that's a different Version of the KW, providing a change history but lacking some other features. Found e.g. this document here: [Solution Manager and SAP KW Documents |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/EN/a4/4f691faacf423db80f286787c5a527/content.htm]
Can someone give me an overview about what's possible by using these two things togehter?
It's been kind of hard to find some good infos and I'm relatively new to that topic (especially the KW thing), so I really hope you guys can help me.
Cheers Joerg

Hello LuongDK,
Please refer to the FAQ section on http://service.sap.com/solutionmanager, Check the installations section:
Which system should I use to install SAP Solution Manager?
The system has to be dedicated to the SAP Solution Manager. No other components can be installed on top of SAP Solution Manager.
SAP Solution Manager does not necessarily require separate hardware. It can be installed as a separate instance on an existing hardware.
This means that the hardware can be shared if it is sufficient to support 2 systems. However a MCOD option is not recommended at all.

Amit

I do not know why is this happening, cause Authentication works, except for that ugly exception that I think is thrown after trying to render the content presenter portlets
Some of the content presenter portlets work(I mean i can see it's content and can be modified)fine but the ones recently added don't Does anybody knows the reason???
It does not work even when i start a new project.

I'm using the sample at wlp docs
package login;
import com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.content.JspContentContext;
import com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.content.backing.AbstractJspBacking;
import com.bea.p13n.security.Authentication;
import com.bea.portlet.GenericURL;
import com.bea.portlet.PostbackURL;
import javax.security.auth.login.LoginException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public class LoginBacking extends AbstractJspBacking {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public static final String REDIRECT_ACTION = "redirect";
public boolean handlePostbackData(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
if (isRequestTargeted(request)) {
if (request.getParameter(GenericURL.STATE_PARAM) == null) {
String username = request.getParameter("username");
String password = request.getParameter("password");
PostbackURL url = PostbackURL.createPostbackURL(request, response);
if (username != null && password != null) {
try {
Authentication.login(username, password, request, response);
catch (LoginException le) {
request.setAttribute("loginErrorMessage3", new String("true"));
return false;
else if (request.getParameter("logout") != null) {
Authentication.logout(request);
url.addParameter(GenericURL.LOADSTATE_PARAM, "false");
url.addParameter(GenericURL.PAGE_LABEL_PARAM, "login");
try {
JspContentContext jspContext = JspContentContext.getJspContentContext(request);
jspContext.sendRedirect(url.toString());
catch (Exception ie) {
ie.printStackTrace();
return true;
In fact the problem is at the line that executes redirection ... jspContext.sendRedirect(url.toString());

Kpro usages with common server storage and Content server storage

Hi Sap Gurus,
Can any one tell me is KPro tick that we make in Document type if it is related to the storage types we are going to use,
Can this KPro feature for Document type can be used for any document type irrespective of the Storage type, like weather storage type may be Vault, Archive, SAP DataBase, or the Content Server,
let me also know waht is the benifits of going for this Kpro Tick in Document type (apart from Storing n no of original files in the DIR)
we are trying to store original files in acommon Server (not content server) can we avail all the features of Kpro Tick.
Points awaiting,
Thanks and regards
Shanti

Hi,
Kpro marked in any of the document type is for indication of using content server as a external storage system.
Yes, Kpro can be ticked to any document type but since this is related to only external storage device so this wont support storage systems like Sap Database, Vault but supports to Archieve through Archievelink interface.
Benefits are many and depends upon the business requirement..
1. all the documents related to the organisation can be storaged in external content server rather thn in SAP database of R/3 system which avoids load on R/3 database.
2. as you said, n number of files can be attached.
3. it can be used in terms of attachments in Additional files, product stucture and so on.
4. if Content sever is used also along with cache server then this main server can be used as a central storage location from where globally users can do transaction of documents without and error and in short time.
Only Kpro storage provides all the functionality, you will be using common server which will be only accesible for storage purpose but not for the extra functions which Kpro provides..
hope this helps u..
Thank You,
Manoj
pls consider points if useful..!!

SAP DMS and Content server installation.

Hi,
I am new in DMS. i have done configuration of DMS . now i want to store document on Content server.
so how to install content server on windows server 2003.
How to connect DMS and content sever?
How to access document ?
please help.
Thanks,
Dipak.

Hi Ricardo,
1. By using T-code DC10-Document type creation:- you will create Document type first.
a. create document type
b. define status if you need.
c. Object Linking- if you want document attach to SAP object then you need to configure by using same T-codeDC10.
and please go through below link:
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/print46c/en/data/pdf/CADMS/CADMS.pdf
2. You want to Store document into SAP database/file system/SAP Content Server.
a. you need to decide first where you will store document.
suppose you select store into SAP Content Server then you need to select KPRO check-box in DC10. then you need to create Content repository by using OAC0 tcode an create storage Category in OACT transaction.
b. suppose you want to store into File system then you need to configure Data Carrier in DC20 T-Code.
c. if you want to store SAP Database then also you need to Content repository same like SAP content Server in OAC0 tcode and select storage type as SAP DATABASE.
and then create storage category.
if you have any query please let me know
Thanks,
Dipak.

Thanks!
Patricia

Hello Everybody,
my team and me need your help.
We have the same problem...
- Installed Content server on Win 2003 server
- Using SAP ECC 5.0 and trying to create and configure content repository via 'OAC0'
- This is initially our test environment so here we are not using any certificates
When we try to connect the Content Server from ECC 5.0, an error popup appeared : HTTP error 401 "Error in configSet".
Is somebody has an idea ?
Latheef (or someone else), could you please forward me the Configuration document on SAP Content server ?
My mail is : <email address deleted by moderator>
Thanks in advance & Regards,
Christophe
