Launching a Preview Session Outside the ATG Business Control Center

I have setup a remote preview server on ATG 10.1.1. Everything works great when viewing it inside the BCC however I’m wondering how to access the preview server outside the BCC. According to the ATG documentation, it sounds like that’s possible. The ATG docs state:
“Users can preview project asset changes outside the framework of the Business Control Center. For example, you might want employees or outside reviewers who do not have access to the Business Control Center to evaluate changes to a Web application while it undergoes development. In this case, you can enable preview on servers that do not have the Business Control Center installed, then give reviewers URLs to the launch pages on these servers. They can invoke these URLs from any browser window.
Note: Users who are not logged into the Business Control Center can invoke preview sessions only with URLs to a server where the Business Control Center is not running. In order to avoid security breaches, URLs to preview sessions on the Business Control Center server are blocked.”
This is the only information I found in the documentation that talks about viewing preview outside the BCC. Based on this limited information, there are a lot of questions I have about how this actually works.
1. Any attempt to hit any page on my remote preview server outside the BCC, I see the following exception:
“ERROR [PreviewProfileRequestProcessor] An attempt was made to preview a project without logging in as a user with access to publishing assets. If you are running a local preview instance, the preview URLs registered with the PreviewURLManager may be misconfigured. Ensure that the preview URLs are configured with the same host and domain name used to access the BCC server. This preview request URL is: http://localhost:8280/sample_catalog/index.jsp. If you are running a remote preview instance, the Preview feature does not support remote preview on servers running the BCC. Ensure that the remote preview instance is not running any of the BCC related modules. If you received this error and did not try to perform a remote preview, then you may need to disable preview in the current web application by setting the atg.preview context parameter to false in the webapps web.xml file.”
I am not running the BCC on this instance so I’m not sure why I am seeing this. Is there something configuration I'm missing here?
2. I don’t understand where these urls would come from that a reviewer would use to preview the application. There is no "remote preview url" when previewing a page from within the BCC to copy and send to a reviewer so how would a BCC user send a url to a reviewer?
3. Assuming the reviewing knew which page to hit in the remote preview server, how would that page use the assets from a project? Should the project id of the project be include as a param to the url?

Shaik, if only it was that simple :( Do you have much experience working with remote preview or are you just guessing here like I have been? In order to help clarify my post though, here is the scenario that describes the basis for my questions:
A business user is working on a project within Merchandising of the BCC
1.     The user makes a change to a category
2.     The user clicks the Preview Button on the tool bar
3.     The system displays the Preview launcher screen
4.     The user selects a pre-configured profile user and page for the preview session
5.     The user clicks the Flexed based launch button
6.     The application displays within the context of the BCC browser/tab
7.     The business user would like to send that url to a reviewer who does not have access to login to the BCC
What happens from step 6 is that a giant iframe launches from within the context of the BCC browser/tab. If you are using remote preview, it is still an iframe and still displays within the context of the BCC browser/tab, the only difference is that the BCC is proxying information to the preview instance in order to initialize the preview session to display the application in the context of the business user’s project. The url the user sees in the browser is the url for the BCC, not the remote preview server. Because the UI for Merchandising and Preview is built using Flex, there is no way to click on the Preview button to open it up in another tab or browser. The only way your suggestion would work is if there is a way to configure the Flex UI to have it open up preview in a new browser/tab which I doubt is possible.
I hope this helps better explain my post. With that said though, this brings me back to my original questions.

Can find E-Business Control Center

I'm running portal 4.0 on solaris and currently trying to get things working. I've managed to get most up and running but I can't the e-business control center up and running? It looks as if I'm missing the files which has something to do with the EBCC?
regards
Stig

Stig,
For the GA Release of WebLogic Portal 4.0 EBCC is available on Windows NT/2000 only.
You have to download EBCC separately and then install it on a Windows NT/2000 box.
If you go to download site and select the "Sun Solaris" platform ans then "Procees to Download",
you will find the link for downloading EBCC just below the link for dowloading portal 4.0.
EBCC for Solaris will be available with Service Pack 1 which is planned to be available around
mid-December.
Hope that helps,
Michel.

Problem with E-Business Control Center

Hi,
I am trying to create a content selector using the e-business control cnter. When
I try to save it I get the following error.
The content selector is not complete. Please complete before saving. Could not
save the rule. Could not find GlobalContentSelectors to save the rule.
Can somebody help me with this?
Thanks and Regards,
Subramaniam

Hi,I have also somewhat similar problem in creating content selector using e-business control center.The problem is that in the Window titled "Select Customer Segments", there are no radio buttons for specifying whether Qualifying visitors may belong to Any or all of these segments. Although it is mentioned in the documentation yet not available in actual.So when we try to save it the following error appears"Atleast one selected clause has not been completed. Offending clauses: [Action clause has not been completed.].Please tell me what to do?Regards,Atif

Retrieve a session outside the servlet/JSP

Hi,
I know that we usually use the following code to retrieve the session:
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
but what if we don't have the request.
In my case I want to access the session to save some information before going to my tierP (JSPs + Action beans, ...) to be able to retrieve them after.
Is the only way to do so would be to pass the session in param to my TierB ?
Thanks for your help!

I guess I also have to mention that I don't have access to a database... our databases are on our old mainframe (Cobol), then we are only connecting to the mainframe to get all the info we need, but once on the Java side I need to keep some information in my TierB if possible.
For more details, I receive 1-9 questions from the mainframe everytime I link to it, but I don't want the TierP to deal with all those questions, then I would like to save them in the session in the TierB and always pass only 1 question to the TierP. When I get back to the TierB, I have to check if there are questions left, if not, link back to the Cobol side, if so, just pass the next question.
This is a very small summary, but I think that you should have the main idea.
Thanks again!

ORACLE ATG Web Commerce Business Control Center language

Hi!
I have just installed ATG 10.1.1 and my BCC is showing a mixture of German and Englisch?
Is there an option to choose the language I want to have shown in BCC?
And please don't answer with change your browser settings etc. !
Thanks and regards,
Heiko

There is a number of things that you may have to do, depending on the locales of your ATG server and browser:
- start the ATG instance with -Duser.language=en -Duser.locale=US
- in BCC, go to the Personalization section and set the language of your user to English
- set your browser locale to English
A combination of those configurations will set the BCC language to English.
By the way, make sure that your BCC is set to English before trying to configure the deployment, especially agent. At least in 10.1, configuring deployment (and who knows what else) doesn't work in languages other than English.

Can We Configure the iOS 7 Control Center?

Is there a way to individually configure the Control Center?
I added the suggestion below to www.apple.com/feedback, but should have asked first.
Subject: Add Cellular Data & Location Buttons to iOS 7 Control Center
We often have days when we don't have the opportunity to recharge our iPhones adequately. At such times conserving battery power is paramount. However, the buttons for Cellular Data and Location require several steps each to turn on and off.
Please add buttons for Cellular Data and Location to the Control Center so they can be accessed easily to better conserve battery power.

No, it is a core component of iOS and not user configurable, with one exception. On the iPad, under general settings, there is the option of what to use the side switch for - mute, or lock rotation. Changing that will change the corresponding (right-most) button in NC. However, that does not apply to an iPhone anyway.
BTW, just us fellow users here, so submitting this via the Apple feedback link was the right way to actually get the idea seen by Apple.

Double Clicking the Job in Control Center hangs the Mapping

i have deployed a mapping.
When i run the mapping the mapping fails
When i double click the job for the particular mapping in the control center,The system hangs.
Please let me know the reason for the same and how to resolve it.

Thanks for the reply David. I'm using OWB 10.2.0.4. Is this a known bug? I don't mind splitting into 2 mappings. My only concern is that ~60% of the data processing are overlapping. I'm using MOLAP. Is there a way to share staged table data on 2 different mappings?

How do I get the Brother Printers Control Center to work again?

The Brother Control Center for Brother's MultiFunction Printer/Scanners disappeared after upgrading to Snow Leopard. The previous files were erased in HD\Library\Printers\Brother\Utilities\ and the Control Center is gone. The Brother USA website http://www.brother-usa.com only lists software updates for 10.5. 10.6 is not listed as an option
How do I start the Control Center to scan documents and chose between different Brother printers?
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for this link. It helped me find the solution.
1. Take the Brother Install DVD and reinstall the printer software.
2. Ignore that there is newer software on your computer.
3. Restart the computer
4. Go into the HD\Library\Printers\Brother\Utilities\Control Center directory and restart the ControlCenter
5. Run Software Update and install the SL printer update
6. Reconfigure the ControlCenter software buttons via the customize buttons as needed
Everything seems to be working fine again.

How to hide the preview section in the crystal report viewer activex cntrl.

Dear All,
I am using the Crystal report viewer ActiveX to display the Crystal report. When the report opens in the Crystal report viewer ActiveX control, a preview section comes at the left hand side of the panel. How can I hide the preview section from the Report viewer control.Is it possible to customize the the report viewer control. Awaiting for your suggestions.
Thank you.
Regards,
Rahaneef

Just to get the terminology correct. I believe you are meaning the Group Tree(?).
Vb Code:
CrystalActiveXReportViewer1.DisplayGroupTree = False.
Also, do consult the developer help file;

Is it possible to have a 'celular data' shortcup icon on control center instead of the sleep icon? That would be VERY useful, can I don that recomendation to Apple?

Wouldn't it be usefull?!
I personally rarely use the sleep button, or even the rotation lock up button…
What do you think? Maybe it would be easy for Apple to do this in the next update.

Thank you for your help.
Am I the only one thinking it would be just great if we had the chance to customize the shortcuts on control center?
What do you think?
Have anyone made that recomendation to Apple yet?

Can Discoverer have link to display documents stored outside the database?

I posted a message some time ago called "Possible for Discoverer to display BLOB type documents stored in database?" and got great answer.
Now our customers are asking if it is possible, from Discoverer, to link somehow to a file stored outside the database on the Unix file system and get their computer to display it? Can anyone tell me if this is possible please?
The only thing I've seen in the documentation that may be related is in Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Configuration Guide, section 10.6 List of Discoverer user preferences. It says there that Discoverer preference ProtocolList can be set so that Discoverer hyperlinks can be set to use protocols such as telnet, but the default is HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP.
THank you in advance if you can help.

Julie.

Hi Rod,
I have tried the second method: "create a Oracle directory pointing to the Unix directory containing the files". I have had success with it, but I'd be grateful if you could advise me if you would have done this the same way as described below:
I put two Word docs and two text docs called clob_test1.txt, clob_test2.txt, blob_test1.doc, blob_test2 in the Unix directory corresponding to an Oracle directory called 'EIF'. I thought an extrenal table was needed so that Discoverer would have an object to write a queruy against. So I created a file called lob_test_data.txt with the following contents:
1,01-JAN-2006,text/plain,clob_test1.txt
2,02-JAN-2006,text/plain,clob_test2.txt
3,01-JAN-2006,application/msword,blob_test1.doc
4,02-JAN-2006,application/msword,blob_test2.
THen I created an external table using the following DDL:
CREATE TABLE jum_temp_lob_tab (
file_id NUMBER(10),
date_content DATE,
mime_type VARCHAR2(100),
blob_content BLOB
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY EIF
ACCESS PARAMETERS
RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
BADFILE EIF:'lob_tab_%a_%p.bad'
LOGFILE EIF:'lob_tab_%a_%p.log'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
file_id CHAR(10),
date_content CHAR(11) DATE_FORMAT DATE MASK "DD-MON-YYYY",
mime_type CHAR(100),
blob_filename CHAR(100)
COLUMN TRANSFORMS (blob_content FROM LOBFILE (blob_filename) FROM (EIF) BLOB)
LOCATION ('lob_test_data.txt')
PARALLEL 2
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
then created a Discoverer End User Layer folder against this external table, and used exactly the same technique as we did for downloading the BLOB from the database table (creating a new folder item containing a URL calling a database procedure which calls the Oracle code to download the doc). THis worked, but sometimes my PC didn't seem to know that the Word docs were Word docs and it needed to launch Word. Other times it did manage to do this OK. It always displayed the two .txt files as HTML docs.
Just wondered if you'd be good enough to critique this approach.
THank you, Julie.

Load a new SAP session on the same screen without leaving it.

Hi,
I went through demo DEMO_ABAP_OBJECTS_SPLIT_SCREEN and really it is meet my business requirements especially when double clicking one node it is navigate to the proper website. the only thing I need is instead of calling the airline website I want to load an SAP session on the same screen with leaving it.
Please, I appreciate your help on this.
Thanks, Thoram...

I am sure this can be done. I am a newbie so I have not performed this type of task before. You can try this in your sandbox environment first. The databse and its connection information for ABAP stack is in the DEFAULT.PFL. ABAP uses windows authentication to connect to SQL Server.
1) Stop the SAP instances running in the server.
2) Make a backup of the databse you want to move to another instance.
3) Restore the backed up database in your new instance.
4) Make changes to the following entries in the default.PFL of the <SID>.Also check these entries in the instance profile (<SID>_DVEBMGS01_<server_name>) to make sure nothing is overwritten from the DEFAULT.PFL
dbs/mss/server = <server_name\instance>
dbs/mss/dbname = <SID>
dbs/mss/schema = <six>
j2ee/dbtype = mss
j2ee/dbhost = <server_name\instance>
j2ee/dbname = <SID>
If you use JAVA AS also then launch the configtool.bat and click on "Secure Store" and change "jdbc/pool/<SID>/Url" to include the instance name i.e. "jdbc:nwmss:sqlserver://<sql_Server_Name>\<instance_name>;databasename=<db_name>".
I hope this helps!
