Migrate the document from database to Content Server

Dear All;
There is a ECC6 using for 5 years and I am setting up a External Content Server which link to this ECC6 server, from now on the new incoming documents like scanned document, email etc will save to Content Server.
However, for the past 5 years those old incoming documents that save in the ECC database, how can l migrate it to Content Server? In the past the document mostly save with GOS (generic object service) option.
Please advise.
Thanks
Jordan

Hi Jordan,
from DMS point of view I would recommend you to see the reports DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 which can be used to transfer original files from older storage to KPRO storage logic.
If you want to move the originals from an archive or vault to a Content
Server, please use the DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 report I
would kindly ask you to see teh documentation on DMS_KPRO_CONVERT report
in transaction SE38, which explains the whole process and gives
necessary information.
This conversion program offers two possibilites:
- Complete migration:
The meta data of the document info record and the checked-in original
application files are migrated together. The checked-in original
application files are transported into the storage catgories.
- Step-by-step migration:
In the first step meta data is migrated. The original application files
remain in the old storage data. The migration of original application
files starts after you have processed the files with the integrated
viewer and checked them into a secure storage area.
I hope this information could be useful for you. Further I would
really recommend you to get in touch with your local consulting
organisation because this is a very critical and individual process.
To grant that the whole migration is done correctly I can only advise
you to contact your local consulting organisation.
Best regards,
Christoph

Migration of documents from a http content server into sap kpro und sap dvs

hello,
I want to migrate documents from an http 4.5 content server into the sap knowledge provider (kpro) and in sap dvs with an abap program.
I know I have to create a PHIO and a LOIO and write it in the tables DMS_PH_CD1 and (only the LOIO) in DMS_DOC2LOIO.
Where I have to write my url for accessing the document on the content server?In which table?
What fm´s do I need to create the PHIO´s and LOIO´s?
Has anyone an idea and hints (like weblinks) to integrate documents from an content server into kpro and sap dvs?

Hello,
the private key, where the hash is signed with is stored
in your AppServer directory $DIR_INSTANCE/sec and is
called SAPSYS.PSE. Where the PSE is a secude (www.secude.de) specific format which contains the private and the publik key.
But I guess you won't get the private key, because its private, unless you are the Administror
Then signig is done via the normal industry standards. (http://www.rsasecurity.com/)

Write blob data from database to unix server

Hi all,
I need to send the attachment file into the mail. I have a header form in which I have implemented Download/Upload functionality using Apex user guide. When ever a user fill all the entries and submit the form then some field information along with attachment I need to send to the user.
I mean when ever user hit the submit button it should take blob data from my custom table tmp_downlod_files and send to the user as an attachment.
I have searched the post and got lot information but not able to get succeed.
I have implemented java stored procedure for sending automatic mail when user is submitting the form but what I need is to take blob content from database and send as an attachment.
1: So I need to write blob content from custom table to unix server in some location and from there I need to attach that file.
2: the java store which I have implemented for sending automatic mail is working and one argument is attachment which I am passing null for now. So mail is working how to write the file from database to unix server and send as an attachment.
What I did for writing file from database to unix server:

But it is not writing the file from database to unix server.
If I can get how to make working to write file from database to unix server then I will hopefully can send an attachment.

DMS Document Storage in External Content Server

Dear All,
We are working on a DMS scenario, where we need to store the document in an external content server, and not in SAP DB. We are evaluating the solutions around the content server, and we see that SAP provides a HTTP Interface to SAP Content Server, and this interface can be configured through OAC0 and OACT, and managed through CSADMIN. Now, a set of questions:
1. If we intend to use SAP Content Server, do we need to purchase additional license for it? Our understanding is that the software is delivered with SAP Installation DVD, and as such no licensing charges are required.
2. If we DO NOT intend to use SAP Content Server, and rather use an external content server (Possibly utilizing the File System at the OS level as a repository), how will the configuration of OAC0 and OACT look like in such a case? We definitely can not use HTTP Content Server as storage type, How will the entries be organized in this case?
Has anyone worked on a scenario like this? It will be really nice if you can share your experience and expertise in this regard.
Awaiting replies.
Thanks and Sincere Regards,
Sid

Hi Ravindra,
Thanks for the clarification. Do I understand correctly that, for a external content server (without an installation of SAP Content Server) also, we need to specify the storage type as HTTP Content Server ? But in such a case, how will the work processes be handled? As I understand, SAP Content Server engine will handle the incoming/outgoing requests through a Web Server. So, don't we need a similar arrangement for an external content server also? In that case, will the connection parameters be for a HTTP Content Server or for RFC Archive, where we can specify a RFC Destination of type G and connect through it?
Thanks and Regards,
Sid

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.
Regards,
Ravindra

Configuring the file server in KM and access,edit the documents from it

Hi friends,
My requirement is to configure the file server where u will have all the structured and unstructured data stored here. So users can share the documents and create, edit ,save the documents from the file server itself.
In KM what kind of file servers are there apart from the one it supports by default.
Can anybody pls provide the configuration steps regarding how to configure the file server i KM.
To configure the file server is webDAV protocol required?
Points would be assigned for the helpful answer.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sireesha.

Dear Sireesha,
Well KM supports mostly all the File server however we have some restrictions with Novell FS and Sharepoint Server from Microsoft. Like versions and other meta data have some issues.
Alsothough to configure a File Server you need to first create a FS repository Manager. Details can be found in the help guide:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/92322ab24e11d5993800508b6b8b11/frameset.htm">FS Repository Manager</a>
Yes WebDAV protocol is required here.
You can create WebDav RM as well.
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/4a/217fb6c33c6748a1715a161ac942cd/frameset.htm">WEBDAV</a>

You mean when you click on the hyperlink you want that row to disappear from the page, but not delete the row from the database until a commit/submit button is pressed?
Personally, I think I'd prefer that you have a delete checkbox next to every row and NOT remove them from the display if I was a user. You give your users a chance to change their mind about their choice, and when they're done they can see exactly which rows will be deleted before they commit.
You know your problem, of course, so you might have a good reason for designing it this way. But I'd prefer not removing them from the display. JMO - MOD

Storing documents with BDN to content server

Hi,
Could anyone please tell me if it is possible to store documents to a content server using BDN (transaction OAOR)? So far I can only store documents to the R3 database. In the Archive Link customizing the link table should be updated with the right entries containing the relevant document type, document class, and repository id.
Every hint is much appreciated.
Regards
Thomas Hørlyck

Thanks for the answer, but my question was whether it is possible to store documents to an external content server using transaction OAOR (Business Document Navigator). Right now it is only possible to store documents to the R3 database with OAOR.

Migrate the EJBs from JVM to OC4J...?

We are plan to migrate the EJBs modules from Oracle8i JServer to OC4J.
From now we have developed the EJBs by using JDeveloper as the following
conditions;
- JVM: Oracle8i JServer (8.1.6.3.0)
- EJBs: Session Beans only
- IDE tool: JDeveloper 3.2
And now we wanna migrate or re-deploy to the OC4J. Is there any good
suggestions or idea to do it? Also I wanna know sth to considerate...
Thanks in advance for any advice

It would be good for you to migrate to OC4J as performance in OC4J is a lot better. Here is a little migration writeup I had done sometime back. It is work in progress. Hope this helps.
Migrating EJB components from Database EJB container to OC4J
Author: Ashok Banerjee [[email protected]]
Oracle recommends the new J2EE containers in Oracle9iAS (OC4J) for deploying J2EE components. The goal of this paper is to recommend ways to migrate existing EJB applications, from database EJB container, to OC4J.
The database EJB container runs on the aurora session based Java Virtual Machine, whereas the new container runs on standard JDK (version 1.2.2 onward) .
The database EJB container runs in a database session. The database is itself the middle tier, in such a configuration. Users therefore have a logically three tiered architecture, that runs physically on two tiers. The database serves as both the middle tier and the backend. In such situations users would use the "kprb" driver (used for requests made from within the database). No further authentication is needed if the backend database is the same as the middle tier. Users can also use one database as the middle tier and another database as the backend.
In OC4J the middle tier does not require a database installation on the middle tier. This helps make the middle tier lightweight. OC4J is also seen to significantly faster than the EJB container inside the database. Since OC4J runs on regular JDK the user can run OC4J on the Java Virtual Machine which is best for his/her specific needs. OC4J however has a limitation in that does not support pure CORBA clients. Currently OC4J does not support RMI over IIOP either.
To migrate existing EJB applications from inside the database to OC4J the set of changes is minimal.
Code changes
1. Change all references in the code and any configuration files using JDBC URLs from kprb driver to either thin or oci. "kprb" driver is only for applications running inside the database. The new OC4J runs outside the database and therefore it must use thin or oci driver.
2. The database EJB container clientside JNDI lookups were like:
env.put (Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "oracle.aurora.jndi");
env.put (Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, user);
env.put (Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
env.put (Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, ServiceCtx.NON_SSL_LOGIN);
Context ic = new InitialContext (env);
while in OC4J container the lookup code should read:
env.setProperty("java.naming.factory.initial","com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory");
env.setProperty("java.naming.provider.url","ormi://localhost");
env.setProperty("java.naming.security.principal","username");
env.setProperty("java.naming.security.credentials","password");
Context ic = new InitialContext (env);
3) Remove all references to oracle.aurora.* classes - they will not work with OC4J. These classes are specific to the container in the database.
4) Check for client demarcation of Bean Managed Transactions and remember that transaction in OC4J cannot be propagated across tiers. In other words client demarcated transaction will work provided the client is another EJB or a servlet in the same OC4J instance. This is also listed in the "Current Limitations" section.
Build changes
1. For EJB in the database we use loadjava to load classes into the database - this step is not necessary any longer for middle tier EJBs. The user merely needs to ensure that the classes are in the classpath.
2. Similarly the concept of resolver specification in the database EJB container ceases to be useful in OC4J. To make classes "findable" the user sets the classpath. In OC4J any jars in the $OC4J_HOME/lib directory are on the server side classpath of the application classloader. The user can also include classes in their own ear files before they deploy the ear. [If you do not know about the resolver specification, then you have not used it and do not need to know about it].
3. The database J2EE container did not have support for .ear files. The OC4J container supports J2EE standard .ear files. Both makefiles and ANT files are available in the code samples on OTN which show how to build ear files and also provides samples for the structure of the EAR files.
EAR File contains META-INF/application.xml
META-INF/orion-application.xml [optional]
applicationEjb.jar
applicationweb.war
applicationEjb.jar contains
META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
META-INF/orion-ejb-jar.xml
EJB classes
applicationWeb.war contains
WEB-INF/web.xml
WEB-INF/orion-web.xml
WEB-INF/lib/jar files needed
WEB-INF/classes class files needed for JSP servlets
For further information on how to write the xml files etc. please refer to their respective DTDs.
Both web.xml and ejb-jar.xml should be unaffected by the migration.
4. The deployejb tool used to deploy EJB to the database has been deprecated. In OC4J EJBs are deployed as shown below:
% java -jar admin.jar ormi://localhost:<rmi-port> userName password -deploy -file ejbdemo.ear -deploymentName jndiName
5. The ApplicationClientContainer does not need aurora_client.jar in the classpath instead it needs oc4j.jar in the classpath.
Configuration Changes:
1. In the database EJB container the configurations exist in database tables but in OC4J the configuration exists in industry standard XML files. By default these files are located at $OC4J_HOME/config directory. Users can start their OC4J instance with a different configuration using the -config switch to specify a different server.xml file.
%java -jar oc4j.jar -config config1/server1.xml
2. In the database EJB container scalability was achieved using the MTS architecture and session based Java Virtual Machine. In OC4J scalability is achieved by clustering and using the loadbalancer. For more details on loadbalancer please read <link to loadbalancer.doc>
3. The bindds tool used to bind data-sources to the JNDI namespace of the database EJB container is deprecated. In OC4J datasources are bound to the the namespace using the data-sources.xml in $OC4J_HOME/config. Non oracle data-sources can also be bound to the namespace. A typical entry in data-sources.xml could look like:
<data-source
class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
name="OracleDS"
location="jdbc/OracleCoreDS"
xa-location="jdbc/xa/OracleXADS"
ejb-location="jdbc/OracleDS"
connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
username="scott"
password="tiger"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@dlsun1688:5521:jis2"
inactivity-timeout="30"
/>
4. Database EJB container used database authentication (database roles and database users) to authenticate users to the middle tier. OC4J uses principals.xml file to list groups and users and perform authentication. One can also implement UserManagers for OC4J to perform more complex authentication.
5. The ports used by OC4J for RMI, JMS and HTTP are all specified in rmi.xml, jms.xml, web-site.xml.
6. Both OC4J and the database container SSL (client authentication as well as server authentication).
7. The database EJB container could only be remotely debugged using a jdb like interface by starting a debugagent on the server, and a debugproxy on the client. OC4J containers on the other hand run on JDK and can be debugged with any debugger. This is very useful for debugging EJB/Servlet application running in the server.
8. The database EJB container comes with a database and hence has AQ (Advanced Queue) available for JMS. With OC4J there is a default in memory JMS implementation. OC4J server program can also connect to other JMS implementations(including AQ) using jms.xml. However a JNDI context may need to be implemented for AQ.
Current Limitations
1. The OC4J container at present does not support 2 phase commit.
2. The OC4J container at present does not support transaction context propagation across tiers. Hence client demarcated transactions are not supported in OC4J except where the client demarcating the transaction is in the same container, for example an EJB having its transaction demarcated by another EJB or servlet, in the same container.
3. In the classic container Oracle did not support RMI-IIOP tunneling through HTTP however in OC4J RMI over HTTP is supported.

How to migrate the data from DEC RDB 5.1 to Oracle 11g

Hi,
As part of my project, we need to migrate the data from DEC RDB 5.1 present on Alpha server with VMS 6.1 OS into Oracle 11g. The size of the data in DEC RDB is around 40 GB.
Could you please suggest various ways of getting this done in easy and simpler way?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
when Oracle bought Rdb from Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in 1994, the name of the product changed from DEC Rdb to Oracle Rdb. Meanwhile the actual version of Rdb is 7.2, so you are on a VERY old version. And that excludes the suggestions from the mentioned note to use a database link from Oracle RDBMS to Rdb, that is simply not possible with that old version of Rdb.
But Rdb 5.1 knew already the Rdb Management Utility (RMU) - I just checked that with Rdb 4.1 which is even older.
There are two commands that are helpful for your task.
RMU/EXTRACT - that writes the metadata into a file. That output helps you to build a script to create all the objects in your target database.
RMU/UNLOAD - that writes the data of each table into a formatted file (one file per table). That output can be used by the SQL*Loader to load your data into the target database.
You can read all details about these commands in the online help on your Alpha. At first, issue the HELP command and look in the output list whether it lists a command RMU or RMU51. Then run that command:
$ help rmu /extract
and
$ help rmu /unload
Replace rmu by rmu51 if the help command shows you that rmu51 exists but not rmu.
There is one caveat. Do you use blobs in your Rdb database? If you don't know that, create an the output with RMU/EXTRACT and search the output file for the string LIST OF BYTE VARYING. If there are none then you have no blobs. If you have some you need to take more care of them, they can't be unloaded into a formatted file, that must happen programmatical. If you have such fields then let me know, then I'll tell you how to get them out of your Rdb database.
Best regards
Wolfgang
P.S.: For Rdb related questions it is better to ask in our Communities at https://communities.oracle.com/portal/server.pt/community/rdb_product_family_on_openvms . That forum is watched by Rdb Support and Development.

Have a error in getting the values from database randomly

Hi to all
I am new member to this community and new to java programming, i am the one of them who got benefited through this site , with that hope i am asking u to clear my doubt.
Actually i want to get the data from database randomly, i dont have problem either in database connection and generating random number,its working fine. but when i have to get the data from database with generated random no using absolute function , i am getting an exception
eg : rs.absolute(2);
i could not move to the second row of my result set.
not only absolute function whatever the function i am using except next method, getting exception.
my code :
package practical;
import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class gen {
     Connection con;

How to migrate the data from DB to another DB

Hi folks,
             In my project I have one requirement. Let me explain in detail we are maintain two databases one for
             master database called *GIIS* and one is history database HIST. Both DB version is 10g R1.
             (Both DB’s have same no table as well structures)
             1. The GIIS database contains nearly 400 tables (master table as well as temporary table)
                   each Master table having it’s own temporary table.
             2. Whenever we made the entry first it will go to temporary table after authorized that entry it will move to the master table
             3. But the temporary table contains the data after move to master table .
             4.     The temporary table data’s will be move to the HIST database each and every day at the night.
                This migration we done through the procedure. After migration complete the temporary table data’s will de deleted.
My Question:
           1.     Whether it’s good practice to migrate the data from GIIS DB to another HIST DB using oracle stored procedure.
                 (we created the DB link from GIIS to HIST)
           2.     If not can any one suggest me the way to migrate the data from GIIS to HIST.?
           3.     Is there any other possibility to migrate the data from GIIS to HIST with out using procedure?Thanks
Arun

Hi Mr.Aman Brother
First of all sorry . I am not saying that don't command my requirement. Just i want know the way of migrate the data from one DB to another DB.
you saying that IMPORT/EXPORT is one of the way to do migration.
But in client side they don't know how to do the IMPORT & EXPORT the database..
Can you suggest me the another way to do that
Arun,
If the client doesn't know how to do exp/imp, I would really doubt and would be immensely concerned before suggesting the client any other way. If they don't know, tell them that there is a concept called test database which is used for learning so they should invest time to learn this technique since the other options suggested by fellow members are far more tougher than this one.

Problem in printing the data from database when i print inside servlet

hi to all!
the objective of the code below is getting the data from database table and has to send that data to the web browser using out.println .note: out - PrintWriter object
In a getQuestion method, i am getting the data from database table and store it in String q and when i print the q within this method it is getting printed, but i got the null value when i printed the String q inside service method doPost. why..? its puzzling me.
package servlet;

               o2=new StringBuffer(rs.getString("option2"));
               o3=new StringBuffer(rs.getString("option3"));
               System.out.println(q);

//why the value of q is not getting printed, instead i get null
out.println("<h2>"+ q +"<h2>");
out.println("how is it");
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
