MetaData Services (MDS) Question

I have extended a View Object (VO) and created a substitution for it. As I understand it, the substitution is stored in the MDS.
If a Controller (CO) references the VO, will the substitution be picked up? Does the CO need to be extended in this case?
Thanks

Hi,
CO will automatically refer the extended VO...no need to extend the CO.

Exception in Metadata Services Layer.

Hi,
I am getting an exception in Metadata Services Layer when deploying the SOA Composite to SOA Server.

As I was able to make out from the error that this is issue related to tablespace but the tablespace set by DBA is autoextendable with a max size of 8 GB and the table space size currently was 1 GB. Do you forsee any other problem here.
The version of SOA Suite and JDeveloper is 11.1.1.5.0
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Arik,
Thanks for your reply.
Could you please share some document or link from Oracle for this problem explanation and solution because I was unable to find this on the internet.
Also now we are facing issues with SOAINFRA Schema. Can this be even part of the earlier problem that we faced for MDS Schema.
The error are detailed below:
Caused By: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01654: unable to extend index DEV_SOAINFRA.CI_CREATION_DATE by 128 in tablespace DEV_SOAINFRA
Not fatal connection error ... not retrying: class com.collaxa.cube.engine.EngineException: Global retry rollback fault thrown.
The current JTA transaction is aborting due to an user rollback fault being thrown. The upstream component should retry in a new JTA transaction upon catching this fault.
This exception was caused by a global retry fault being thrown from downstream component. The user had directed the BPEL engine to roll back the current JTA transaction and retry within new JTA transactions for the specified number of times and retry interval.
There is no action recommended.
Any help will be appreciated.

Metadata Repository mds-adf is not targeted to JMSServer-0?

JDeveloper 11.1.1.4.0, Oracle database 11.2.0.1.0
We're developing an ADF application and I'm trying to activate MDS using the database. I've followed along with docs and this blog post, http://biemond.blogspot.com/2009/07/mds-repository-for-adf-11g.html, run RCU on my database, added Application Development Runtime. When I deploy my application, I get the "Deployment Configuration" dialog box, but when I hit the "Deploy" button, I get his message in a dialog box:
Warning! MDS configuration information appears invalid. Metadata Repository mds-adf is not targeted to JMSServer-0 or JMSServer-0 is a member of a cluster. Deploy anyway?
I hit yes, then I go to Enterprise Manager to see my MDS repository partitions, and I have no partitions found.
Any ideas?
Edited by: Richard Cook on Jul 5, 2011 10:51 AM

On the EM front page, under "Fusion Middleware" I have "Metadata Repositories", with my mds-adf repository there.
Today, there is a repository partition, "idm_V2.0", put clicking on the glasses icon I get "This partition is not being referenced by any application".
My application "idm(V2.0)" is deployed to DefaultServer.

Sharepoint 2013 Publish ContentHub Error Metadata web service application proxy Metadata Service Application Proxy.

I'm trying to republish the content hub but getting mms errors. I checked the coorlation id but make no sense of it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to republish the content hub.
I recommend to execute the following PowerShell command to add all permissions needed:
Initialize-SPResourceSecurity
In addition, you can create a new managed metadata service application and also a new application pool account to check whether it works.

The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available.

I've been trying to create new Managed Metadata services but get this error when trying to manage them:
The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available. The Application Pool or Managed Metadata Web Service may not have been started. Please Contact your Administrator.
I've checked that the application pool that the Metadata service uses is running and that the account it's running under is in the farm administrators group. I've checked that the WCF hotfix is applied on the system by re-downloading KB971831 (I have Windows 2K8 SP2) and trying to run it again but it says it doesn't apply to my system (as I had installed it before installing SharePOint)
I'm not sure what else to do - can anyone give any pointers?
Thanks

I've got the default one working again now, the new one "TM Metadata" has been added but shows the same error on the management page.
I have some info from the logs:

UPDATE : I've just gone back to IIS to check the pools and it looks like adding the 2nd metadata store has knocked out the app pool that the SecurityTokenService runs in.

The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available. The Application Pool or Managed Metadata Web Service may not have been started. Please Contact your Administrator.

Hi,
I'm not able to access the term store. I get an below mentioned error.
"The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available. The Application Pool or Managed Metadata Web Service may not have been started. Please Contact your Administrator. "
Since this is happening on my local machine (Dev environment). I have full control on the term store and the all the site collections.
Hence, this is not a permission issue.
I have checked, the Metadata service is active on the machine. All the application pools in IIS is running.
After reading one of the recommendation on internet, I created a new Managed Metadata Service.
After which I was able access both (old and new) MMS from Central Admin only (highlight the MMS from manage service applications and click Manage ) and not from the site collection (term store management).
Now again its not working after I did an IISRESET.
The managed metadata service (Managed Metadata Service Connection) is grayed out.
ULS Error says:
Failed to create ManageLink for service proxy 'Managed Metadata Service'. Exception: System.TimeoutException: The request channel timed out attempting to send after 00:00:09.9999999. Increase the timeout value passed to the call to Request or increase the SendTimeout

Hi Victoria,
Thanks for your reply
I tried making all the changes you had recommended and which are mentioned in the link you have provided.
I tried making all possible combination of changes to the web.config and client.config files but it does not make any difference to the environment.
One thing is that, my error in ULS logs has changed.

Managed Metadata Service and Content Type Hubs - Service Connection necessary?

I created a site collection and activated the content type hub feature at the site collection level. We have an existing managed metadata service but I am unable to edit its settings, so I created a new MMS in a new database, however; there is no "service
connection" row below the MMS row for the new MMS Application, but there is one for the old MMS Application. Will this still work with my content type hub? If not, how can I get the service connection setting/row? I have to do this via PowerShell since
the menus in the ribbon are not usable due to our JavaScript settings...

Are you using Custom claim provider??
If you are then try this:

User Profile Application and Managed Metadata services are missing

Running SharePoint 2013 servers on a set of 2012 R2 Servers. One of our farm administrators deleted the Secure Store service account. They recreated the Secure Store account, but after doing so, the Managed Metadata Service and User Profile Service
are now unavailable.
When going to the User Profile Page, there is an error that says "Sorry, something went wrong."
When going to the Metadata page, there is an error that says "The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available."
There is an additional error that says "The Security Token Service is not available."
How can all three services be brought back online?

That specific event log error is as follows:

The tagging service is unavailable - Managed Metadata Service issues

After SP1 I am unable to use the tagging service in my test farm of SharePoint 2013. Users see the error message popup "The tagging service is unavailable. Please try again later."
I've ensured that the Managed Metadata service is up and running and is the location for keywords. I've tried deleting and re-creating the service to no avail.
Any ideas on what might be happening? The service looks fine, the database looks fine but no tagging....

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you were unable to use the tagging service.
Per my knowleadge, even if the Managed Metadata Service is associated with the web application and term store is accessible from within the site collection, it still needs to be set as the default for the web application.
To set the service as the default you need to click on the proxy service, and then select the top two check boxes.
For more information, please refer to:
The tagging service is currently unavailable
Tagging Service is not available when using hashtags in Microblog entry

Jason - thanks for the input. Unfortunately the service was already set to the default for the web app (both top checkboxes are already checked.) The service looks identical to my Prod and DR farms, but simply doesn't work. I've blown it
away and recreated it without success.

When to use Managed Metadata service in Sharepoint 2013 and 2010

Hi Folks,
I have been working on sharepoint from quiet some time now. I have been using managed metadata service also.
What I have not been able to find out so far is when should I be using MMS.
What are the real advantages that I can draw out of it.
I have one application that has Managed Metadata installed and has various terms stores and terms.
The Managed metadata service created is utilized in search,
What I do not know is what is why are we using it at all.
What is benefit of it.
Managed metadata service could also be used in navigation is what i know.
But what confused me is when is the best scenario to use it for navigation.
Why can we not use the navigation provider in the managed metadata service.
There might be other uses also, but that is not clear to me.
Can any one tell me why and in which scenario to really use it.
I know how to configure the mms and how it works though the jargons around the managed metadata.
Regards

Managed Metadata has some specific advantages that make it useful for certain situations.
A managed metadata column has the following advantages over a lookup or choice column:
A managed metadata term set can be shared across the entire SharePoint farm, so you can use it in different site collections.
You can set up "synonyms" so that multiple similar terms resolve to the same underlying piece of information
Terms can be hierarchical (terms can be nested under other terms), and the SharePoint interface allows hierarchical filtering. For example, if I have a term set for Location, and one of my terms is North America, with terms below that for United States,
Mexico, and Canada, I could choose to filter my list to show me all records with any North America location (inclusive of US, Mexico, and Canada), or to filter on a specific term (such as Mexico).
You can allow people to enter new terms, which will then appear in the term set.
You can specify information owners/stakeholders who maintain the term sets without them needing elevated access to sites; normally only site owners can mess with site columns and content types. Managed metadata lets you separate information management
(what terms/synonyms should be used) from site management (granting access, creating groups and lists, etc).
There are some disadvantages too. For example, with a lookup column, the lookup list can store additional columns of information. A managed metadata term set (on the other hand) only really stores terms (and descriptions/synonyms), but not related
info. You might be tempted to do something like create a term set for part numbers, representing every part that your company produces; the term set would handle the part numbers just fine, but wouldn't let you add extra columns of information for
description, weight, price, etc. In such a case, a lookup list is the better option.
Microsoft has some suggested guidelines for when to use managed metadata/term store:
SharePoint 2013:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee519604(v=office.15).aspx
SharePoint 2010:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee519604(v=office.14).aspx
A brief summary...
Managed metadata is a good option when the potential metadata meets the following criteria:
Is something for which a user will select a valid value
Represents information that is likely to be used multiple times
Has valid values that can be organized hierarchically
Includes synonyms or abbreviations that should be aggregated
Can be applied in one language, but might be viewed in other languages
Managed metadata is not a good option if the potential metadata meets any of the following criteria:
Is represented by a built-in column (such as “last modified date”)
Has an infinite number of valid values
Has different valid values in each location that it is used (such as different values for the “version” attribute depending on which product team’s site the item appears in)*
Has only “yes” and “no” as valid values
*This type of metadata could still be captured in site collection-specific term stores

MDS questions

Hi I would like to ask two questions about MDS
1. can a user undo his customizations? If a user decide that doesn't want the changes he made anymore and wants to restore the default how can this "cleaning" be performed if you use
MDS database repository (not file)?
2. how can I save a query?
I followed the instructions of the ADF manuals and the instructions at Edwin Biemond's posts:
http://biemond.blogspot.com/2009/07/mds-repository-for-adf-11g.html
http://biemond.blogspot.com/2009/07/adf-web-applications-and-oracle.html
and it worked for all components (I changed column widths, order etc and the changes persists) but when I tried to save a query I get
oracle.mds.exception.ReadOnlyStoreException: MDS-01273: The operation on the resource /persdef/gr/helex/it/marketsystems/marketoffice/datamodel/vViewObjects/R_investors.xml failed because source metadata store mapped to the namespace / BASE DEFAULT is read only.
In a similar request (the poster didn't use ADF BC) Laura Akel replied:
"You can listen to the QueryOperationEvent by registering a queryOperationListener to the query component and implement the save mechanism for the event types create update and delete.
You can make use of the helper methods on oracle.jbo.uicli.binding.JUSearchBindingCustomizer class such as createPersonalization(ViewObject vo, ViewCriteria vc),
deletePersonalization(ViewObject vo, String vcName), updatePersonalization(ViewObject vo, ViewCriteria vc)"
is this the only way? If it is can you please clarify it ?
thanks

As per the 11g release notes (see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/11/11.1.1.1/knownissues.html#cust8), to get queries from an af:query element to save properly I had to add the following to the adf-config.xml:
      <persistence-config>
        <metadata-namespaces>
          <namespace path="/persdef" metadata-store-usage="metadata"/>
        </metadata-namespaces>
        <metadata-store-usages>
          <metadata-store-usage id="metadata" deploy-target="true"
                                default-cust-store="true"></metadata-store-usage>
        </metadata-store-usages>
      </persistence-config>inside the mds-config element. Since I've never tried saving queries without the above in place, so I'm not sure if your exception is the expected error if the above is missing from adf-config.xml.
I did once see a similar exception to the one you have posted. In my case, I hadn't selected the UserCC class in the 'Customization Configuration' section of the adf-config.xml.

Web Service Security Question

I have created a web service in the NetWeaver portal using a Portal Service. I have marked the service as requiring basic http authentication. However, when I call the web service from the Enterprise Portal Web Services Checker in NWDS it just let's me supply the params of the web service and no authentication. Any ideas?
I also noticed that my web service does not appear under the Web Services Container or Web Services Security section in Visual Administrator. Anybody have any idea why this is?
Thanks in advance.
Curtis

Hi Curtis,
My guess is that since you are logged into the Portal while calling this web service, it will use the current session cookie to authenticate automatically. I'm not sure on the second question, tried a restart?

Raj

Azure Media Services Pricing Questions

I am contacting you in regards to pricing structures for Azure Media Services. I would like to clarify some details outlined on the Azure pricing page.
I work for a company that provides content security solutions, and we provide Microsoft Playready related DRM solutions to our customers.
I have a customer who has an Enterprise Agreement and is using Azure Cloud services. They are planning to utilise the Azure Media Services and I wish to help clarify some points
for them.
Can you please provide answers to these questions ?
For Content Protection (DRM) does the customer need to prepare their own Playready License servers? Or is this fully covered in the Azure Content Protection service ?
For the PAYG plan for Content Protection, there is a price of $0.21/ 100 licenses.
Can you please confirm the definition of “license” in this scenario ?
Is the license in reference to issuing one license per streaming session per unique user ?
If the user watches multiple contents/assets is a license required for each asset ? Is only one license required per piece of contents ? Or multiple licenses during viewing ?
When using key-rotation for live services, does that impact the number of licenses required ?
Are there any conditions for using Azure Encoding & Processing services in order to attain the Content Protection price? (for example certain amount of minimum usage of encoding?
Are there any conditions for using Azure Streaming services in order to attain the Content Protection price ? (for example certain amount of minimum streaming usage?)
Is the PAY pricing plan for Content Protection relevant to content encoded as HLS and encrypted with Playready ?
Is the separate Playready DRM licensing costs ($0.35/ client and $0.02/quarter per active client) still relevant for Silverlight players when using Azure Content Protection services ?
Is the separate Playready DRM licensing costs ($0.35/ client and $0.02/quarter per active client) still relevant for other players (HLS players) when using Azure Content Protection services ?
If I have other questions about Azure Media Services, can I raise them to this contact email address ?

Will,
Thanks. The first point that the license server is included in the Azure service is now clear, thank you.
For the other questions, the link you put me through to is for support options for Azure. I am being asked to clarify these questions by my customer who is considering using Azure Media Services but is not currently subscribing and I don't have an existing
support account. My customer does have an Enterprise Agreement.
If you are not able to answer the questions above, would it be possible to receive an email address for where I can direct these questions about Azure Media Services pricing structure and billing ? (this is for evaluation purposes before becoming a
subscriber/user)
Please confirm an available address for someone with the answers. I have already contacted MS online technical and billing support groups and have been asked to post here, but not been given an address I can contact with the above specific questions.
Thank you.
Regards
Lincoln
