Mappings In Room Template Administration

I have created a new Collaboration room template based on duplicating the existing Meeting_Room_Extended template via Room template administration. I have added the additional page of Documents (via the PCD). When I run the VALIDATE function on my new meeting room template I get informational messages saying that I don't have mappings.
Here are a sample of the warnings:
No mappings provided for iView com.sap.netweaver.coll.documents_2_level on page com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomDocuments
Define the mappings required for the iView in the template
No mappings provided for iView com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomInformationExtended on page com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomDocuments
Define the mappings required for the iView in the template
I know where I need to enter the mappings on the template administration, however, I don't understand the underlying purpose behind the mappings. Can someone please give me an explanation of what the purpose of the mappings is?
Thanks
Angie.
PS: I am running NW2004s (EP7) with SP9.

Hi Angie,
have a look at this presentation from SAP NetWeaver Product Management:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c0bf27c0-1c2e-2a10-80a2-bd78bf6c89c7
I believe that it explains pretty well the concept behind the Room Extension Mappings.
Let me know if you have further questions,
Robert

Room Template Administration

Hi,
Just installed the EP 6.0 SP11 and I've been playing around, what I want to try and do is create a new room template. What I'd like is simply a room template that contains a discussion thread, FAQ and links list.
What I am missing though is a tutorial on how to go about this from start to finish, so if someone can point me in the right direction that would be great!

Hi Craig,
and if it's not enough, take this in addition https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/nw/coll251 - sap netweaver collaboration- modeling and configuring collaboration rooms.pdf
Hope it helps

Error with new Room Template (containing KM Navigation iView)

Hello,
I created a new room template based on a newly created workset which just contains the KM Navigation iView. As I went through the template wizard step by step (Content Administration > Collaboration Content > Room Template Administration) I didn't add any External Parameters (Step 3) and didn't add any extensions (Step 4). In the Mapping (Step 5) I mapped all internal parameter to "room_id" since I didn't know it any better. Then I created a room based on this template. When I entered the room I got the following error message. Is it possible that the following error has to do with the fact that I mapped all internal parameters to "room_id" and that I did not add any external parameters or any extensions?
com.sap.portal.pcm.Title
Portal Runtime Error

Page could not create the iView.
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
Thanks a ton for our help!

Modifying existing Coll. Room Template

Dear KM friends,
I have created a Collaboration Room Template.
But i need to changes in Pages layout, iView settings, even i need to add new pages and delete.
can anybody tell me, How to modify the existing Collaboration Room Template??
Please reply me
thanx in advance
Kantha

Hi,
As per the doc...
Each template contains technical attributes and settings for the rooms or room parts that are created based on the template. In the portal, the templates are stored as Collaboration content.
You maintain templates in room template administration or in room part template administration.
In the template, you define the room or room part structure by assigning a workset to the template (see Maintaining Worksets for Templates). The following special points apply to this assignment:
· You can use one workset as the basis for more than one template, which are differentiated by their external parameters, for example.
When you create a template, the system copies the workset assigned and assigns this copy exclusively to the template. Changes to a workset that is already assigned to a template are made only to this template.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/44/f99140c2eab118e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
You can simply delete or add or modify the pages to the workset in the templete.

How to set a room part as default in a room template?

Hi,
Can you please tell me how to configure a room part as the default one for a room template. The requirement is that this room part must be the first one to be opened when a room of the specific template is opened inside collaborations. NW7.0 . Please provide you suggestions.
Thankyou in advance..

Hello Lorcan,
Thank you for the information. But even after trying to set it as extension the changes was not getting reflected. Another way which I tried to set the room part as default after adding the extensions is below:
Content Administration -> Portal Content -> com.sap.ip.Collaboration -> Template Worksets (where the customized templates are there)->In the selected template I tried setting the property "Default Entry for Folder" as yes for room part "Documents".
As of now room part "Task" is opened as default for the room but I want "Documents" to be opened by default. Please advice on the same.
Thank you in advance..

How can I restrict the Room Template

Hi guys,
Please I need your help. My problem is that I want to know how I can restrict the Room templates displayed in the list box when creating a room.
Thanks
Dakata A. Ibrahim

hi Abdu,
For hiding SAP Standard Templates you can go to
System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Collaboration -> Configuration -> Collaboration -> Room and Room Part Templates
There is an option to hide them. Just check all the checkboxes there.
For Custom Developed templates you can try by giving permissions on the workset level for the template.

Changes on room template in Coll - Content inconsistent !

Hi Collaboration experts,
I have a question on Collaboration Rooms again.
I have created a Java WebDynpro Wizard to create a new room, which works perfectly fine. I offer the possibilty to choose one of several room templates I have created for certain purposes ( BI context ). Then I use the ITemplate to get the related parameters I have defined when creating the template ( Portal -> Content-Admin -> Collaboration-Content ). The user can now enter values for those parameters. I have, for example, an iView in my template that displays an url and it works perfectly well that the user can choose any url to be displayed during my room creation wizard.
But when I change anything on the parameters, e.g. the description, in the template designer in Portal -> Content-Admin -> Collaboration-Content, the chnages are not consistent. When I run my wizard and get the parameters of the related template via ITemplate, I still get the former description, although it has been changed in the portal.
Can anyone tell if this is an error? Or am I missing something?
Thanks for your answers!!! ( Reward points are waiting for you )
Regards,
Sabine

Hi Thierry,
for each room you create also a group is created. The group name contains cryptical characters but also ROOM. Search in "User Administration" for room and you will find the group.
Check if the user is in this group.
The user normally will be added to this group if you add a room member in the room administration part.
The user needs also rights for the KM Content parts of the room. I don't know now where exactly but this is pretty fine described in the How to's.
Regards,
Stefan

How can I use KM document iView in a room TEMPLATE?

I want to use a KM document iView in a room template. The target document for this iView will contain some standard html content for every room built from this room template. This file's content and the folder structure for the room template will come from a room extension. The iView should be able to display the HTML in the target document, which will always have the same name (roomHome.html). How can I configure my room template so that each instance of rooms built from this template will be able to navigate to its own unique instance of roomHome.html?

It's not possible to tag text with multiple languages in Pages 5. Go back to Pages 4, which should still be in you iWork folder.
For the whole doc in Pages 5, use Edit > Spellling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar.

Room Template Changes not reflecting

Hi,
I have a Collaboration room template called Community. In that I have the Quick Poll Maintenance iview. I was getting the following error while creating a quick poll. When I try to add an image to a response in the quick poll, it gave me portal error. This was happening only inside the Collaboration room and not outside. Then I changed the mapping of the property PathToImages for the iview in the template to private_docs_path and saved the template.
Now the error does not come in the new rooms that I create with this template. But the old rooms are still having the problem. Any idea why?
Alos, for my old room the template is being displayed as Community_&VER&22 and for new rooms is Community_&VER&28. Is there any way to synchronize the the template versions?
Regards
Ranjith

Hi,
which version of the portal are you using?
Starting with NW04 SPS 17 / NW04s SPS8, you can transfer changes from the template to existing rooms. Before these releases, this is not possible. Please have a look at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/44/168eb1c3641a75e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm

Error in Room Template Creation

hi,
In portal we developed our own room template.Due to some reasons we have deleted that room template also.After deletion the room template name is not appearing in the dropdown when I try to create a room.
But when we tried to create another room template with the same room template name which I have deleted earlier, it is giving an error 'No valid name for room template'. what is the reason.........
Is the deleted room template existing anywhere?
Thanks and regards.
shami.

Hello Shami,
Deleted room is not existing but its record is maintained in Room Template Version Folder.( I am referring NW2004s, EP7.0, SP11)
So it might not allow the deleted name to use.
Sorry I can't attach the screen shot to prove my point .
Thanks and regards,
Pradnya

Collaboration Room Template problem with Roominformation iView

Hello all,
I'm trying to make a custom collab room template, but I'm having troubles with the Roominformation iView. It always gives me an error
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing your request
Exception id: 11:28_30/10/07_0005_2777350
See the details for the exception ID in the log file.
What I've done is copied the Room information extended iView , paste it in a page, assigned that page to a the collabroom workset.
Is there perhaps some configuration I have forgotten ? If so, where do I have to do the configuration ?
Thank you in advance !
Abjuh

Okay, found the problem. It was indeed some configuration that I've forgot.
com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomInformationExtended
iView property com_sap_netweaver_coll_information_roomid = room_id (=parameter)

Room Template

Hello Folks,
I have an issue with the room templates.Can I use a old template name to a new template.after the old room template was being deleted?.
When ever I'm trying to do this..I get an error.Please clarify.
Thanks and Regards
Neha Chaturvedi
PS: Helps will be rewarded

Hello Neha,
Room Templates deletion:
Whenever the room templates are deleted. They are stored internally but hidden. Thus, a user cannot use the same name for the template over and again.
So, if this answers your query do reward it with 10 ;o)

Creating a gradient background in the 'Dark room' template

Hi All, having finished my website using the 'Dark room' template, everyone has told me that the background is too heavy.I have tried putting a much lighter gradient fill in instead but it won't go into the main body of the page. I was told at the Apple Mac store that it's probably a design fault, but I didn't have much confidence in them. Can ANYONE HELP PLEASE, as otherwise I've got to start from scratch so they tell me.

Not in the template.
It's an image with the IMG element. Remove the image from the folder and you will see a border.
The only way to remove the image visibly from the page is to replace the spotlight image by an image with the same background as the page.
You do so in the folder of your page.
