Open KM folder via WebDav - Invalid Item ID

Hi!
In our KM SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 we have some folders where a ! is in the name. There was no problem accessing these folders via WebDav since we installed SP 18. If I will access this folder now via WebDav, paste WebDav Url from flder into IE7 and open the link 'Navigation user interface' afterwards I will get an message like this: Invalid Item ID - the item you are attempting to access does not exists. Check wether the name of the associated repository is correct. In the Portal Log i found the following information: Syntax error in URI placeholder: <path to folder>
Any idea?
Thanks, Daniel

Hi Nitsan,
It depends from where you want to open the webdav folder.
1. From explorer:
Go to My network places, and add a new one with the URL you used before. Now it should open directly as a webdav folder. You can also map this to a network drive.
2 From a website:
Insert a link in the website using the following format:
<a style="behavior: url(#default#AnchorClick)" title="Webmap" href="" folder="http://<hostname>:<port>/irj/go/km/docs/<km path>">Webfolder</a>
This should open directly from the website as a webdav folder.

Launching a network folder via Log-in items

Hello,
I have a network drive, and what I wanted to do was have the finder open those network folders whenever I boot up. So, I used log-in items to add the various folders. Now that I see that it launches a new finder window for each folder, I want to stop it. The problem is that the folders no longer show up as items in my log-in list. In other words, they are still opening up on log-in, but I can't see them set up as log-in items. Any suggestions?
Thanks

So this is a user specific issue.
Log into your user account.
Open a finder window.
Open the Library.
Remove the Preferences folder to the desktop.
Log out and back in.
The system creates a new set of default preferences.
Is the issue gone?
If it is then there is a corrupt preference file.
You can try to isolate which one is causing the issue by moving preferences to the newly created preferences folder in batches in order to isolate the culprit.
You could also just return key preferences such as the com.apple.mail.plist and simply set up new preferences just like you did when you first started the computer.

Edited by: luisurea on 27-jul-2011 14:46

luisurea: I'm not sure that the itemfile and vatfile records you indicate are being produced by RETL DWI batch code such as slsildmex.ksh. I assume you're running version 13 of DWI/RDW? What matters to RDW is that every row from the incoming RDWT file which slsildmex.ksh consumes, is output to slsildmdm.txt file, and that every row from slsildmdm.txt file is consumed and properly loaded to RDW target table sls_item_lm_dm table. DWI modules like slsildmex.ksh do have reject processing, for instance if an RMS.ITEM_LOC_SOH/ITEM_LOC record is not found for data in the RDWT file. In that case, the batch log and error (rfx/log and rfx/error) output of the run of slsildmex.ksh should have noted such a reject. I'm wondering if your itemfile and vatfile are artifacts of an RMS batch process such as posupld. If you're doing proper data validation from the RDWT file, to slsildmdm.txt file, to SLS_ITEM_LM_DM table in RDW, and the F_SLS_AMT (i.e. retail value) facts match how you have RMS/ReSA configured, then your sales integration to RDW is fine... and thsoe files might be more related to RMS sales uploading. Hope that helps,

Opening a km folder using WebDav url

Hi all
I am trying to open a folder in km using the webdav url via explorer.
I get a message :
The folder you are looking for has no displayable content.
You can try one of the following:
Access the folder using the Navigation user interface.
Access the folder as a Web folder. Your operating system and browser dictate whether or not this will work.
I want to open the folder automatically as web folder.
Is there any way I can configure this ???
Thanks

It depends from where you want to open the webdav folder.
1. From explorer:

When opening a folder with "items as icons" view, a millisecond fast random image appears in place

Hi,
since I updated to Yosemite (but cannot assure it's related or started exactly that moment) I've been experienced a weird issue.
When I open a folder to navigate it, and it's set on "show items as icons", I see all the icons, for just less than a second, replaced by random images.
It's like if while the proper folder/file icon it's loading, that space is temporarily occupied by the impression of another one (or parts of it), coming from my computer. Sometimes is a photo, sometimes another folder icon not related, sometime is the icon of a software.
The picture then goes away (it stays less than a second) and the icon for the file/folder is then the appropriate one.
I have a Macbook Pro 15-inc, mid 2010.
Is it a known issue? If yes, how can I solve, if possible, this?
Hope can be helpful to others too.
Many Thanks

First off, I do not recommend looking at your time machine while it is running. You can tell if it is running by making sure its menubar icon is shown in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Time Machine. If the icon is moving, it is running. You can manually backup, which I recommend over automatic backup, as automatic backup can get in your way. Spotlight, if it is indexing (check the menu in the upper right that looks like a magnifying glass), will also slow matters down, and adding things you don't want Spotlight to search to your Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy pane will help. Note this affects areas you can search in Time Machine as well. If searching content of files is of little interest to you, I find Find Any File much quicker for finding by file name. Backup when you aren't doing anything else, as otherwise, you may find yourself backing up files that haven't had the opportunity to close.
Time Machine also works best if your destination drive is at least twice as capacious as your source drive. Otherwise it is spending a lot of time trying to find places for the archived files, and barely is more archival than a simple clone.

How do I stop extra windows or programs from opening automatically when I access my Applications folder via Finder?

Each time I access my Applications folder via Finder, a bunch of ejectable windows or previously downloaded programs open up on the desktop. I have ejected each one or placed it in the trash, but it still happens. How do I stop this from happening?

I asked the same question on Yahoo! Answers, and I was advised to reinstall Firefox, which I have just done (with version 3.6.8). The problem seems to be solved. Prior to doing this, I attempted to uninstall my previous version, but Control Panel wouldn't let me do this, nor would Windows Explorer allow me to send the whole Mozilla Firefox folder to the Recycle Bin. I went to Plan C, which was to delete all the subfolders in the main folder, followed by the leftover files, and finally empty the Recycle bin. Then I used Internet Explorer to download the newer version of Firefox, and installed it. No more extra home pages, so far.

GW 7: Open a custom folder via ViewOpen token

Hello,
I'm trying to open a custom folder via ViewOpen(6;;"FirstName
LastName\CustomFolder"). This has been working with GroupWise 6.5, with
GroupWise 7.x it opens the Inbox only.
Has there been any changes to ViewOpen token function between GroupWise 6.5
and Groupwise 7.x, or is this a bug?
Thanks for your reply

Right - which leads to the more general point that the folder name
structure is different in 7.0

Viewing via 'date modified' & opening a folder updates its date... help!!

Hi,
So I am trying to be organized, and am sorting through some old files, all arranged as a bunch of files and subfolders within project folders. I sort these project folders by date, with the oldest at the top of the window. I open the oldest folder (with the triangle, not in a new window) to see whats in there, do the same with any subfolder that may be there, close them again, and a few seconds later the main folder date updates to the current date and jumps to the bottom of the list. This is infuriating me!, I now have projects that haven't been opened since 2001, inside a folder showing 'date modified' as 5 minutes ago.
It appears that opening a subfolder will update the date of the folder it is in. This is ridiculous!! you try to be organised with your filing and that's the thanks you get! now when i view all these projects by date, I wouldnt have a clue how old they were unless I open the folder. stupid!
I have noticed this with 2 macs, can anyone help, this can't be normal procedure. note, I havent opened, let alone saved anything, just viewed the contents of folders.
help!!

Hi folks,
This issue has been driving me crazy, and I've been searching everywhere for a solution... today I am happy to report that I found one!
Limit Point Software has just released a great utility for dealing with this issue where folders have their "Date Modified" altered after you just opened the folder.
It is called "SyncFF" and you can download at:
http://www.limit-point.com/Utilities.html
Here is the product description:
SyncFF is a drop utility for setting the modification and creation date of folders to the latest modification date of their contained files. This way the modification date of the folder matches the modification date of the "oldest" file it contains. The process is recursive, which implies all subfolders are processed too. Universal Binary, Mac OS X 10.4 and above.
It works wonderfully, and it is so nice to have the proper modification dates on my folders and projects again.
I should also say that the developer is very helpful and responsive to feedback.

EFS Encrypted Files over home workgroup network via WebDAV avoiding Active Directory fixing Access Denied errors

This is for information to help others
KEYWORDS:
- Sharing EFS encrypted files over a personal lan wlan wifi ap network
- Access denied on create new file / new fold on encrypted EFS network file share remote mapped folder
- transfer encryption keys / certificates
- set trusted delegation for user + computer for EFS encrypted files via
Kerberos
- Windows Active Directory vs network file share
- Setting up WinDAV server on Windows 7 Pro / Ultimate
It has been a long painful road to discover this information.
I hope sharing it helps you.
Using EFS on Windows 7 pro / ultimate is easy and works great. See
here and
here
So too is opening + editing encrypted files over a peer-to-peer Windows 7 network.
HOWEVER, creating a new file / new folder over a peer-to-peer Windows 7 network
won't work (unless you follow below steps).
Typically, it is only discovered as an issue when a home user wants to use synchronisation software between their home computers which happens to have a few folders encrypted using windows EFS. I had this issue trying to use GoodSync.
Typically an "Access Denied" error messages is thrown when a \\clientpc tries to create new folder / new file in an encrypted folder on a remote file share \\fileserver.
Why such a EFS drama when a network is involved?
Assume a home peer-to-peer network with 2pc: \\fileserver and \\clientpc
When a \\clientpc tries to create a new file or new folder on a \\fileserver (remote computer) it fails. In a terribly simplified explanation it is because the process on \\fileserver that is answering the network requests is a process working for a user on
another machine (\\clientpc) and that \\fileserver process doesn't have access to an encryption certificate (as it isn't a user). Active Directory gets around this by using kerberos so the process can impersonate a \\fileserver user and then use their certificate
(on behalf of the clienpc's data request).
This behaviour is confusing, as a \\clientpc can open or edit an existing efs encrypted file or folder, just can't create a new file or folder. The reason editing + opening an encrypted file over a network file share is possible is because the encrypted
file / folder already has an encryption certificate, so it is clear which certificate is required to open/edit the file. Creating a new file/folder requires a certificate to be assigned and a process doesn't have a profile or certificates assigned.
Solutions
There are two main approaches to solve this:
     1) SOLVE by setting up an Active Directory (efs files accessed through file shares)
          EFS operations occur on the computer storing the files.
          EFS files are decrypted then transmitted in plaintext to the client's computer
          This makes use of kerberos to impersonate a local user (and use their certificate for encrypt + decrypt)
     2) SOLVE by setting up WebDAV (efs files accessed through web folders)
           EFS operations occur on the client's local computer
           EFS files remain encrypted during transmission to the client's local computer where it is decrypted
           This avoids active directory domains, roaming or remote user profiles and having to be trusted for delegation.
           BUT it is a pain to set up, and most online WebDAV server setup sources are not for home peer-to-peer networks or contain details on how to setup WebDAV for EFS file provision
         READ BELOW as this does
Create new encrypted file / folder on a network file share - via Active Directory
It is easily possible to sort this out on a domain based (corporate) active directory network. It is well documented. See
here. However, the problem is on a normal Windows 7 install (ie home peer-to-peer) to set up the server as part of an active directory domain is complicated, it is time consuming it is bulky, adds burden to operation of \\fileserver computer
and adds network complexity, and is generally a pain for a home user. Don't. Use a WebDAV.
Although this info is NOT for setting up EFS on an active directory domain [server],
for those interested here is the gist:
Use the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in to configure delegation options for both users and computers. To trust a computer for delegation, open the computer’s Properties sheet and select Trusted for delegation. To allow a user
account to be delegated, open the user’s Properties sheet. On the Account tab, under Account Options, clear the The account is sensitive and cannot be delegated check box. Do not select The account is trusted for delegation. This property is not used with
EFS.
NB: decrypted data is transmitted over the network in plaintext so reduce risk by enabling IP Security to use Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)—which will encrypt transmitted data,
Create new encrypted file / folder on a network file share - via WebDAV
For home users it is possible to make it all work.
Even better, the functionality is built into windows (pro + ultimate) so you don't need any external software and it doesn't cost anything. However, there are a few hotfixes you have to apply to make it work (see below).
Setting up a wifi AP (for those less technical):
   a) START ... CMD
   b) type (no quotes): "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyPersonalWifi key=12345 keyUsage=persistent"

       a) on the "Anonymous Authentication" and click "Disable"
       b) on the "Windows Authentication" and click "Enable"
      NB: Some Win 7 will not connect to a webDAV user using Basic Authentication.
        It can be by changing registry key:

     *THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT* if your filenames or foldernames contain characters like "+" or "&"
     These folders will appears blank with no subdirectories, or these files will not be readable unless this is ticked
     This is safe btw. Unchecked (default) it filters out requests that might possibly be misinterpreted by buggy code (eg double decode or build url's via string-concat without proper encoding). But any bug would need to be in IIS basic
file serving and this has been rigorously tested by microsoft, so very unlikely. Its safe to "Allow double escaping".
8 in IIS, on the left under "connections" right click "Default Web Site", then click "Add Virtual Directory"
       a) set the Alias to something sensible eg "D_Drive", set the physical path
       b) it is essential you click "connect as" and set
this to a local user (on fileserver),
       if left as "pass through authentication" a client won't be able to create a new file or folder in an encrypted efs folder (on fileserver)
             NB: the user account selected here must have the required EFS certificates installed.
                        See
here and
here
        NB: Sharing the root of a drive as an active directory (eg D:\ as "D_Drive") often can't be opened on clientpcs.
      This is due to windows setting all drive roots as hidden "administrative shares". Grrr.
       The work around is on the \\fileserver create an NTFS symbollic link
          e.g. to share the entire contents of "D:\",
                on fileserver browse to site path (iis default this to c:\inetpub\wwwroot)
                in cmd in this folder create an NTFS symbolic link to "D:\"
                so in cmd type "cd c:\inetpub\wwwroot"
                then in cmd type "mklink /D D_Drive D:\"
        NB: WebDAV will open this using a \\fileserver local user account, so double check local NTFS permissions for the local account (clients will login using)
         NB: If clientpc can see files but gets error on opening them, on clientpc click START, type "Manage Network Passwords", delete any "windows credentials" for the fileserver being used, restart
clientpc
9 in IIS, on the left under "connections" click on "WebDAV Authoring Rules", then click "Open Feature"
       a) click "Add authoring rules". Control access to this folder by selecting "all users" or "specified groups" or "specified users", then control whether they can read/write/source
       b) if some exist review existing allow or deny.
           Take care to not only review the "allow access to" settings
           but also review "permissions" (read/write/source)
       NB: this can be set here for all added virtual directories, or can be set under each virtual directory
10 Open your firewall software and/or your router. Make an exception for port 80 and 443
       a) In Windows Firewall with Advanced Security click Inbound Rules, click New Rule
             choose Port, enter "80, 443" (no speech marks), follow through to completion. Repeat for outbound.
          NB: take care over your choice to untick "Public", this can cause issues if no gateway is specified on the network (ie computer-to-computer with no router). See "Other problems+fixes"

HOTFIX - MAJOR ISSUE - fix KB959439
11 To fully understand this read "WebDAV HOTFIX: RAW DATA TRANSFERS" below
      a) On Windows 7 you need only change one tiny registry value:
           - click START, type "regedit", open link
           -browse to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MRxDAV\Parameters]
           -on the EDIT menu click NEW, then click DWORD Value
           -Type "DisableEFSOnWebDav" to name it (no speech marks)
           -on the EDIT menu, click MODIFY, type 1, then click OK
           -You MUST now restart this computer for the registry change to take effect.
      b) On Windows Server 2008 / Vista / XP you'll FIRST need to
download Windows6.0-KB959439 here. Then do the above step.
         NB microsoft will ask for your email. They don't care about licence key legality, it is more to keep you updated if they modify that hotfix
12 To test on local machine (eg \\fileserver) and deliberately bypass the firewall.
      a) make sure WebClient Service is running
            (click START, type "services" and open, scroll down to WebClient and check its status)
      b) Open your internet software. Go to address "http://localhost:80" or "http://localhost:80"
            It should show the default "IIS7" image.
            If not, as firewall and port blocking are bypassed (using localhost) it must be a webDAV server setting. Check "Authorization Rules" are set to "Allow All Users"
      c) for one of the "virtual directories" you added (8), add its "alias" onto "http://localhost/"
                e.g. http://localhost/D_drive
            If nothing is listed, check "Directory Browsing" is enabled
13 To test on local machine or a networked client and deliberately try and access through the firewall or port opening of your router.
      a) make sure WebClient Service is running
            (click START, type "services" and open, scroll down to WebClient and check its status)
      b) open your internet software. Go to address "http://<computer>:80" or "http://<computer>:80".
              eg if your server's computer name is "fileserver" go to "http://fileserver:80"
              It should show the default "IIS7" image. If not, check firewall and port blocking.
              Any issue ie if (12) works but (13) doesn't, will indicate a possible firewall issue or router port blocking issue.
     c) for one of the "virtual directories" you added (8), add its "alias" onto "http://<computername>:80/"
               eg if alias is "C_driver" and your server's computer name is "fileserver" go to "http://fileserver:80/C_drive"
               A directory listing of files should appear.
--- ON EACH CLIENT ----
HOTFIX - improve upload + download speeds
14 Click START and type "Internet Options" and open the link
      a) click the "Connections" tab at the top
      b) click the "LAN Settings" button at the bottom right
      c) untick "Automatically detect settings"
HOTFIX - remove 50mb file limit
15 On Windows 7 you need only change one tiny registry value:
      a) click START, type "regedit", open link
    b) browse to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WebClient\Parameters]
       c) click on "FileSizeLimitInBytes"
       d) on the EDIT menu, click MODIFY, type "ffffffff", then click OK (no quotes)
HOTFIX - remove prompt for user+pass on opening an office or pdf document via WebDAV
16 On each clientpc click START, type "Internet Options" and open it
         a) click on "Security" (top) and then "Custom level" (bottom)
         b) scroll right to the bottom and under "User Authentication" select "Automatic logon with current username and password"
         SUCH an easy fix. SUCH an annoying problem on a clientpc
   NB: this is only an issue if the file is opened through windows explorer. If opened through the "open" dialogue of the software itself, it doesn't happen. This is as a WebDAV mapped drive is consdered a "web folder" by windows
explorer.
TEST SETUP
17 On the client use the normal "map network drive"
            e.g. server= "http://fileserver:80/C_drive", tick reconnect at logon
            e.g. CMD: net use * "http://fileserver:80/C_drive"
         If it doens't work check "WebDAV Authoring Rules" and check NTFS permissions for these folders. Check that on the filserver the elected impersonation user that the client is logging in with (clientpc
"manage network passwords") has NTFS permissions.
18 Test that EFS is now working over the network
       a) On a clientpc, map network drive to http://fileserver/
       b) navigate to a folder you know on the \\flieserver is encrypted with EFS
       c) create a new folder, create a new file.
           IF it throws an error, check carefully you mapped to the WebDAV and not file share
              i.e. mapped to "http://fileserver" not "\\fileserver"
           Check that on clientpc the required efs certificate is installed. Then check carefully on clientpc what user account you specified during the map drive process. Then check on the \\fileserver this
account exists and has the required EFS certificate installed for use. If necessary, on clientpc click START, type "Manage Network Passwords" and delete the windows credentials currently in the vault.
       d) on clientpc (through a webDAV mapped folder) open an encrypted file, edit it, save it, close it. On the \\fileserver now check that file is readable and not gobble-de-goup
       e) on clientpc copy an encrypted efs file into a folder (a webDAV mapped folder) you know is not encrypted on \\fileserver. Now check on the \\fileserver computer that the file is readable and not gobble-de-goup (ie the
clientpc decrypted it then copied it).
        If this fails, it is likely one in IIS setting on fileserver one of the shared virtual directories is set to: "pass through authentication" when it should be set to "connect as"
        If this is not readable check step (11) and that you restarted the \\fileserver computer.
19 Test that clients don't get the VERY annoying prompt when opening an Office or PDF doc
      a) on clientpc in windows explorer browse to a mapped folder you know is encrypted and open an office file and then PDF.
            If a prompt for user+pass then check hotfix (16)
20 Consider setting up a recycling bin for this mapped drive, so files are sent to recycling bin not permanently deleted
      a) see the last comment at the very bottom of
this page:
Points to consider:
   - NB: WebDAV runs on \\fileserver under a local user account, so double check local NTFS permissions for that local account and adjust file permissions accordingly. If the local account doesn't have permission, the webDAV / web folder share won't
either.
- CONSIDER: IP Security (IPSec) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to protect files during transport.
MORE INFO: HOTFIX: RAW DATA TRANSFERS
More info on step (11) above.
Because files remain encrypted during the file transfer and are decrypted by EFS locally, both uploads to and downloads from Web folders are raw data transfers. This is an advantage as if data is intercepted it is useless. This is a massive disadvantage as
it can cause unexpected results. IT MUST BE FIXED or you could be in deep deep water!
Consider using \\clientpc to access a webfolder on \\fileserver and copying an encrypted EFS file (over the network) to a web folder on \\fileserver that is not encrypted.
Doing this locally would automatically decrypt the file first then copy the decrypted file to the non-encrypted folder.
Doing this over the network to a web folder will copy the raw data, ie skip the decryption stage and result in the encrypted EFS file being raw copied to the non-encrypted folder. When viewed locally this file will not be recognised as encrypted (no encryption
file flag, not green in windows explorer) but it will be un-readable as its contents are still encrypted. It is now not possible to locally read this file. It can only be viewed on the \\clientpc
There is a fix:
      It is implimented above, see (11) above
      Microsoft's support page on this is excellent and short. Read "problem description" of "this microsoft webpage"
Other problems + fixes
PROBLEM: Can't find server due to network location.
     This one took me a long time to track down to "network location".
     Win 7 uses network locations "Home" / "Work" / "Public".
     If no gateway is specified in the IP address, the network is set to '"unidentified" and so receives "Public" settings.
     This is a disaster for remote file share access as typically "network discovery" and "file sharing" are disabled under "Public"
     FIX = either set IP address manually and specify a gateway
     FIX = or force "unidentified" network locations to assume "home" or "work" settings -
read here or
here
     FIX = or change the "Public" "advanced network settings" to turn on "network discovery" and "file sharing" and "Password Protected Sharing". This is safe as it will require a windows
login to gain file access.
PROBLEM: Deleting files on network drive permanently deletes them, there is no recycling bin
       By changing the location of "My Contacts" or similar to the root directory of your mapped drive, it will be added to recycling bin locations
      Read
here (i've posted a batch script to automatically make the required reg files)
I really hope this helps people. I hope the keywords + long title give it the best chance of being picked up in web searches.

What probably happens is that processes are using those mounts. And that those processes are not killed before the mounts are unmounted. Is there anything that uses those mounts?

Problem in connecting to beehiveonline via WebDAV

Hi,
I am seeing a strange behavior when connecting to beehiveonline via WebDAV. Need your help to sort out the same.
If I try to connect to https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/content/dav using internet explorer, the browser automatically redirects me to the SSO login page. After I login, it moves back to the workspace listing page successfully.
But if I try to connect to the same URL via "Add Network Location" or "Map Network Drive" the system is failing to connect. I am using the same SSO credentials. I am using Windows 7 laptop (not sure if that matters).
I have been using this (beehiveonline via WebDAV) for a some time now; this was working perfectly alright before last ~10 days. For the last ~10 days, this does not seem to work.
Can you please review and help.
Thanks, Raja

Raja,
I have some troubleshooting tips for webdav - see if any of these work and if not we can have a call and talk through the options.
Troubleshooting Tips
@ 1. While connecting to Webdav using web folders, the login prompt keeps appearing.
Try connecting to the webdav server using https url: @ http://beehive.oracle.com/content/dav
If above doesn't help, try below steps:
Stop "Webclient" service (Go to Start-> Control Panel-> Administrative Tools -> Services. Select "Web Client" and stop the service)
Set 'Startup Type' of Webclient service to 'Manual' Set up web folder using url: http://beehive.oracle.com/content/dav
(without specifying port)
2. My web folder was working properly. Now suddenly dav operations don't go thru and can not access stbeehive. I deleted the mapped network place and re-mapped, it still does not work.
This happens when the webdav server is bounced and your dav cookie on the client is not expired. Delete all cookies in Internet Explorer browser (Tools-> Internet Options - > Delete -> Delete cookies) and try reconnecting.
3. Through web folders, I created a new folder, but the folder did not appear and when I try to create it again, it says it already exists.
Stop "Webclient" service (Go to Start-> Control Panel-> Administrative Tools -> Services. Select "Web Client" and stop the service). Set up web folder using url: http://beehive.oracle.com/content/dav (without specifying port).
4. After copying a file from one folder to another within Web folder, it shows the file size as 0 bytes.
This is a known issue with the web folders client. After the copy/move operation, it does not issue a PROPFIND to get the details of the newly copied/moved file. Refresh your folder (press F5) and the correct sizes should be displayed.
5. In web folders, I double-click a jpeg file. The MS Picture Viewer application opens but it does not display the jpeg file.
The MS Picture Viewer application is not webdav enabled. Try opening the file in Internet Explorer instead.
6. I did some dav operations through the browser. After leaving idle for about an hour, it asked me for username/password again.
This is due to the dav session timeout.
7. I did some dav operations through Internet Explorer (IE). Then, I did some operations through web folders. After leaving idle for about an hour, I tried to access through IE. It did NOT ask me for username/password.
Sessions involving non-browser dav client like web folders are intended to be longer (default timeout value is 16 hours). Since you last did an operation using web folders, your dav session has been extended.
8. I have uploaded a document with a non-English name. When the document is listed, the file name is garbled.
or I have uploaded a document with non-English contents. When I open them, they are garbled.
Your dav client is not sending the encoding information correctly. Please try setting your "Content" user preferences ("document_uri_encoding", "document_character_encoding") to the encoding used by your dav client.
9. I am not logged into Web Folders. Now, I login through IE and click on a MS Office document (word/excel etc). I am prompted for my credentials again.
This can be resolved by opening the MS word document inline in Internet Explorer. Steps required to configure are available at:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/162059.
10. I have opened a MS Office document inline in the browser. I click "Back" or close the web browser window. I am prompted to enter credentials again.
This can be resolved by following the steps given at: @ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822128
Known Issues
Generic Issues:
@ There is no support for non-ascii username/password. Windows Vista Web folder is not supported.
Navigation through browser into URLs containing characters [ or ] may result in 404 error.
Windows Web Folders:
It throws a common error dialog box for all the error scenarios. It does not pick the message sent by the webdav server
If you create/update/delete a document and it has to go through a workflow process, Web Folders doesnt interpret the response status code correctly and throws an error.
Cadaver:
Copying/moving fails for files/folders which have spaces in their names Use cadaver ver 0.22.5 or later. Earlier versions have encoding issues.
Mac OS:
Lot of files whose name starts with the dot character like ".DS_Store" are created implicitly by Mac Finder
I uploaded a document to my personal workspace Documents folder. Then Get Info on that document in the webdav folder. There is a checkbox for "Lock". If you click the checkbox, it immediately gets de-selected. This is because this client does not send a webdav lock request.
Maybe one of these will do the trick
