MDM plus DMS for file storage

Hello folks
We are planning to implement MDM for rich product catalogue for a customer; the latter already has SAP DMS (Document Management System from SAP ERP) where the product image files are stored on a SAP Content Server.
Can we leave the images stored on the DMS Content Server and just use the link in MDM ??? Has anyone achived this already ?
I suppose the url must be generated by DMS as it is only from this component that SAP ERP knows the file is in the Content Server...
Any hint/help on this is most welcome !
Thanks

Hello,
I´m consultant from SAP Germany with experiences in MDM and in DMS systems too.
SAP Content Server is a simple DMS system which is able to store documents and provide them later on demand. For using this CS it is required to have an SAP basis component SAP Archive link version http 4.5 or higher available. This interface is not delivered as an MDM component. But it can be integrated.
I implemented into a PoC such a solution. The major challenge will be to store an image into that content server.
The display of such documents should be able directly from a content server by using Data Managers WEB-pane or onto portal by accessing the content from the WEB-Service.
I wrote a document with a description of such an example.
I´m not sure whether it will be possible to add a document into this forum. But i will provide this document as seperatre mail on demand to everyone who´s interested in..

My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house. Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network?

My home network has an Airport Extreme w/Time Capsule as the base and then an Airport Express and a second Airport Extreme to reach different areas of the house. Is there a way to use the second Airport Extreme for file storage on this network? Network is administered through an iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. Ideally, would like for the second Airport Extreme hard drive to appear on the list of devices in the Finder window.

Ok.. gottcha
The problem is network wise.. Yosemite is about equal to tin cans and string.. pathetic.
Here is my usual set of instructions to get anything working on Yosemite.
The best way to fix problems is a full factory reset of all the AE in the network.
Factory reset universal
Power off the AE.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the AE to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg AEgen5 and AEwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
Even better if the issue is more wireless use AE24ghz and AE5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense.
2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. Ensure the AE always takes the same IP address.. this is not a problem for AE which is router.. it is a problem for AE which is bridged.. you will need to set static IP in the main router by dhcp reservations or use static IP in the AE which is tricky.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric..
5. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
6. Now mount the disk of the second AE in finder... manually.
Use Go, Connect to Server and type in the AE ip address.
SMB://10.0.1.2
Where you will replace that address with the actual address. The network resource should be discovered and then it will request the password.. type that in and make sure you tick to save it in your keychain.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
Do as much as you want of the above... not all of it is necessary.. only if you want it reliable.. or as reliable as Yosemite in its current incarnation can manage.
The most important thing is point 6.. mount the disk using direct IP address and not names.. dns in Yosemite is fatally flawed.

Looking for file storage site from where I could stream my vidos

Hello guys,
I have a .mov file from time to time, which I would like to store/post on the internet and send people it's URL so people can click on that link and watch that video.
I have tried few sites, including mobileMe. They do provide storage for files but the only way people can watch them is that they have to download them first. When I send people link to that file, it does not stream, but it downloads to their computer first. So I am wondering, is there any site where I could store my video files for streaming?
Thanks for any tips or advise.

Hi Kirk,
thanks a lot for your support. This is what I did:
I have wrote a simple html using Taco. Here is the code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 TRANSITIONAL//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body bgcolor ="000000">
<table width="1920" height="720" align="center">
<tr>
<td><embed src="BGI.mov" height="720" width="1280" align="middle"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
I have uploaded this html file onto iDisk Public Folder, just beside BGI.mov video file.
Then I clicked Sharing options. iDisk generated this link:
files.me.com/iceberger/qwg8qk
When I copy this link and paste it into my browser window, my browser still downloads this html to my desktop. But when I open it, there is a question mark and no video is playing.
What I do wrong?
Thank you so much again for your help and for your patience.

Best option for file storage

I want to archive some of my CAD files and other files on a 'by year' basis. Is a flash drive a good option? They seem neat but then again they are a bit small & could get lost. Any ideas on the best option these days?

A 2.5" external hard drive will hold MUCH more and still fit in a shirt pocket should you choose. Lots of storage for a reasonable price. Remember to make backups of whatever meda you choose. You don't want your files to be in just one place.

Can I use the time capsule internal hard drive for file storage?

Can I configure the Time Capsule internal HD to function as a network file server as well as handling time machine backups?
Can the internal HD be partitioned?

This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
Major issues.
1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.
Read pondini for some work arounds.
Q3 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html

Performance evaluation for file storage.

If I were working in C/C++ I would know what should be an appropriate record size so it could be stored in one cache line, and processed therein; precisely how many pointer transitions will be required to fetch a record, and how microprocessor registers will be used.
This gives an idea about the level of optimization I want to achieve. Can you please point me towards literature that gives a detailed description of how Java Card handles its variable and object references at the lowest level? This becomes a more pertinent issue in case of Java Cards.
While I understand that individual card vendors have specific JVM and JCRE implementations, what is the lowest level I can go to while I'm working with Java card development kit? As of now I plan to use the SimpleFile and Record classes availalbe with kit samples.
Thank you for your help.

As of now I plan to use the SimpleFile and
Record classes availalbe with kit samples.I'll appreciate if you can suggest better approaches.

Can I use one 2tb external hard drive for time capsule and file storage?

I would like to use time capsule, but also keep the hard drive on my desktop for file storage. Can I do this?

Apple advises against doing that.
Any data stored on the disk that Time Machine is backing up to can not be backed up.
Plus the data outside of the Time Machine backup database cause problems when Time Machine starts cleaned up old backups to recover space for new backups.
For these reason it is advised that the Time Capsule disk be used for one or the other but not both.

HT201250 I have two external hard drives. One is my Time Machine backup drive. The other I use for external storage of files (documents, photos, movies, etc). Can I set Time Machine to backup BOTH my Mac hard drive and my other external hard drive?

I have two external hard drives. One is my Time Machine backup drive. The other I use for external storage of files (documents, photos, movies, etc). Can I set Time Machine to backup BOTH my Mac hard drive and my other external hard drive?

Yes you can make multiple backups on one hard drive, for example if you’ve 1TB hard drive installed in your PC and you’ve two Mac Machines with 500GB drive each then you just make two backup images with size of 500GB each.

Using an External HD with USB 1.1 for Media (Movie files) storage?

Many thanks for your attention.
For a Media Storage (mostly movies) HD, I ordered a Maxtor OneTouch II with Firewire and the company mistakenly sent me one with USB 1.1 instead.
I remember reading that for Media Storage, only the Firwire connection will work (for Macs). Or that there are a lot of problems with USB.
Before sending this HD back to company, just checking to see if this is so.
Also (when I get the correct Drive), I've heard that in order to store a Movie File, (a movie on Final Cut Pro or iMovie, etc.), the External Hard Drive MUST be formatted as a "Mac Extended (Journaled)" Hard Drive.
Posting here for people's thoughts, opinions (hopefully not contradictory).
- Ross

Send it back.
Even USB 2.0 isn't good for media. Fast transfer rate, but not a sustained one.
USB 1 won't work AT ALL.
RETURN!

Where is iSQL*Plus distribution zip file for Oracle 8i (8.1.7)?

I am running Oracle 8i (8.1.7) under Windows 2000. The iSQL*Plus Installation and Users Guide Release 8.1.7 Beta for Windows says the iSQL*Plus distribution zip file can be downloaded from the Oracle TechNet site (http://otn.oracle.com). I went there but could only fine iSQL*Plus for Oracle 9i. I even clicked on a link for the 8.1.7 version but ended up on a page with the 9i version. Can the 8.1.7 version still be downloaded? If so, what http address will get me to it?
I want to run iSQL*Plus on my PC to see if I can access my oracle database from an iMAC (apple computer).
Thanks in advance for your help!

John,
iSQL*Plus 8.1.7 beta was available only for a short time. That version was in beta testing and not intended for long term use. iSQL*Plus 9.0.1 (with Oracle9i release 9.0.1 for Windows) is more stable, and has more features. iSQL*Plus 9.2.0.1 (just released with Oracle9i release 9.2.0.1 on most platforms!) is even better. You might want to install a version of Oracle9i and use the new, production releases of iSQL*Plus.

CCM 2.0 - Files Storage for high volume of files

Hi all,
I have seen in one message the following information:
<i>1. Files storage.
My point is that I think you've created a virtual folder on the SRM Server in SICF, which means that all your files are stored internally in the database, and not physically on the server.
The most simple way is to create a physical folder on the server OS, and then create analias in SICF to this folder. You then will be abble to load in mass the pictures on the server using FTP, or network Share.</i>
I want to upload images in the Catalog (CCM 2.0) and in my case I have high volume of files. Where is the best place to stored this data, in the database or in the server?
And if it is in the server, how I can create an alias?
Many thanks!!
Regards

Hi ,
What we had done for image upload for CCM 2.0 was like this:
1. in SE80 go to MIME repository -> drill down to services -> bc /sap/bsp - >Create a personal folder
2. Import your image .jpeg in this folder.
3. Derive an URL with the structue : server name/domain name/services/file name
4. test this URL in IE browser ,it should open the picture in IE for you.
5. then paste this URL in the characteristic 'image' of an item in master catalog in CAT
with this in EBP we could see the photos of the items.

HT204053 best storage for filies deleted but used frequently wd drop box flash drive

best storage for filies deleted but used frequently wd drop box flash drive

Thanks LowLuster! With that info I have another questions if that's ok. First, I'm sure it's formatted to fat32. I have learned I can't transfer movies over 4gb. I use an external hard drive for those. The files are ones I've downloaded from YouTube in the mp4 format and are never over 1gb. They're all mb in size.
I didn't realize flash drives had limited writes. Is there any way to confirm I've reached the limit? Both times I reformatted it I was able to add back the videos I previously had on it. I would say there were a hundred or so. Both times I left some "growing room" on the flash drive so I could add more files. And, both times I was able to continuing adding until I had reached the max capacity. The problem occured after I tried deleting files to free up space. Does this make sense with "the amount you have used it" theory? Does it start to become buggy at that point, or does it just make writes to the drive impossible?
Thanks

MDM JAVA API SCA file for MDM 7.1 SP04

I need to download MDM JAVA API SCA file for MDM 7.1 SP04. When I added to the download basket through service marketplace it is looking for the approval process, just for the API file. I was able to get the other files though like webdynpro framework, change tracker. We haven't setup the Solution Manager yet. It might take a while. Meanwhile is there any other way to get the SCA file.
Thanks

Opened message with SAP and they have approved the download basket. Now able to download the sca file.

Use external drive for Time Capsule backups AND file storage?

I have an external drive formatted by my MBP. I'm using it to store my iTunes music library and iPhoto pics. Can I use the drive for Time Capsule backups as well?

Yes, but that is not recommended. Storage and backup should be kept separate to reduce the chances of a disk failure. This is especially important because you cannot even partition a Time Capsule drive. Go get a separate drive for your storage needs. Get another drive for a second backup and use a different method of backup than Time Machine

What are the file storage names for Palm Desktop 4.1.4? My data appears to be lost

Hi,
I am using Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and have the Application loaded on a Flash Drive. This was done long ago and maps to the E:.
I am on Windows XP SP2. I usually insert my flash into a USB port on my PC and start a shortcut which points to and starts the desktop off of the E: drive.
I decided i wanted to also place the dekstop on my C: drive and started the install from the Flash drive. In my rush and stupidity, i did not correctly tell it to install to the C: and it ended up reinstall to the E:     So when i bring up the desktop, all is gone !
I have looked and search in every way i can think of looking for files from .DAT, to .PDB, .PRC, etc etc. If i take older version i find of many of these files and place them in the E: root directory in which the desktop OPTIONS Menu says the data is stored, nothing changes.
The OPTIONS menu under TOOLS in desktop states data files go to E:
The application is installed under E:\PalmDesktop
The .EXE, .DLL, files are under E:\PalmDesktop   as well as under E:\
When the reinstall of the desktop occurred other folders that were under E:\PalmDesktop such as Components, Helpnote, Update etc and well as one with my name Brian don't appear to have been touched.
I am not sure if my data is lost forever or not.   Can someone provide me with the exact file names that data in the desktop such as "Contacts" is stored in so i can try to find them. I must admit i have never had such a difficult time finding the data files for other products as i have with this one, but then again maybe thats a good thing.
Thanks in advance for anyones help - Brian
Post relates to: Tungsten C

check in your flash drive Palmone>username
The username that you've been using is Brian? if you see that folder open it and look for folders address (contacts) datebook (calendar) todo (tasks) memo pad (memo)
then check if you have address.bak or adress.dat for contacts, datebook.bak for calendar if you see those try importing them to your palm desktop.
