Portal Drive and MS Outlook Integration

Hi,
I have installed the SAP Portal Drive Client on my PC.
It works pretty well. I have observed something that I have not been able to find information on in any documentation.
When I start MS Outlook now (thick client) there is an additional option under the Tools menu in Outlook titled "Portal Drive Intellittach" which is greyed out (inactive).
It appears as though some integration between SAP's Portal Drive and MS Outlook may be possible - does anyone have any information on this please?
Cheers, Phil G.

Update May 29th. I received the following information from SAP Germany Product Management for those interested...
Ad 1. As Portal Drive basically is an enhanced WebDAV client and the official WebDAV protocol (www.webdav.org) doesn't support the exchange of metadata schema information there's currently no way for the client to detect that some properties are mandatory or even enforce the entry. That's why our member of the WebDAV working group already posted an RFC for the WebDAV protocol addressing this issue.
Ad 2. The deactivated "Portal Drive Intellitach" command just hasn't been removed from the Outlook UI yet. It's meant to support the exchange of document links instead of document attachments. As this functionality is directly supported by KM, specific FlexUI commands and the context menu of Portal Drive ("Copy URL to clipboard") it's obsolete now.
We also plan to enhance some features and add new functionality, but I can't give you any details right now as final decisions haven't been made. I hope this clarified some things concerning Portal Drive.
Cheers, Phil G.

Hi,
For this you required transaction code scot , where you need to maintain IP address of outlook server.
then mail to vendor automatically triggred also you need to open some port for the same of server.

Portal Drive and Cluster

Hi all,
We received recommendation to start using portal drive instead of web browser in
order to access KM folders via WebDAV.
I have installed and configured Portal drive as described in SAP help.
Since we have a cluster installation, the server URL is the dispatcher URL.
When providing the dispatcher URL, portal drive fails to connect.
When providing one of the cluster servers url, connection is successful.
Does anyone know if it is possible to work with Portal Drive in a cluster installation
and if so, what configuration should be made in order for this to work?
Thanks,
Moti.

Well, this is supposed to work. If it doesn't, I would recommend to open a support message so the problem gets investigated.
Best regards, Julian

MS Outlook 2007 and SBO outlook integration OK?

I have a client that has MS outlook 2007 installed on some client machines and would like the SBO integration as well, has anyone done this yet and have there been any issues?
Thanks! Amy

Hi Amy,
What version of SBO are you running? We've had problems with Outlook 2007 and Outlook Integration (eg getting the OI toolbar to display properly) when running SBO 2007A.
You can get more details by logging your question with SAP Support but, for what it's worth, my recommendation is avoid it at the moment if you can.
Kind Regards,
Owen

Portal KM and Domino Doc Integration

Hi
Is there anyway I can Integrate Portal Knowledge Management with domino doc.
Regards
Senthil

Hello Senthil,
yes, for the integration of the user interface of any Lotus Notes/Domino application you have the following options:
1: Rendering on Domino
- URL iViews to Domino Web App
- leveraging Enterprise Portal eventing for communication between the Domino iViews and other portal iViews
- leveraging Enterprise Portal styles for consistent look and feel
2: Rendering on Enterprise Portal
- using XSLT and ?ReadViewEntries to render NotesViews (flat and categorized)
- using XSLT and ?ReadEntries to render Outlines for Navigation. Also the assignment of such an iView to a pages dynamic navigation is possible. Navigation events are communicated through portal eventing
- using SOAP or web agents and DXL to render documents
SAP Consulting has alredy implemented all those options mentioned in customer projects. Please get back to me if you need more information or samples.
Regards
Michael

4096 byte sector Drives vs 512 byte Drives and Partition Map integrity

I have a late 2008 Mac Pro, and every so often, if I don't take the time to Defragment my startup drive, or go over it with Disk Warrior, my partition takes a dump. Normally its a invalid file count, invalid directory count, invalid volume structure, or some combination in between. I don't think its the drive or the mac itself (at work we have 200+ macs of various years and models that do this too) since it only happens to the startup drive (1TB-56% full) and I've had apple replace them 2 times now, along with a replacement machine and it still happens. I was wondering if the GUID would be happier on a new 4096 byte sector drive assuming the mac would even be able to use it. Buried deep in the developer site is a tec note that says Mac OS 10.4 and up are able to use the drive, but I haven't been able to find out if anyone outside of Western Digital has actually used them on a mac yet. No one at AppleCare seems to have an answer to my question, or can explain why my map fails regardless of drive.
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2006/tn2166.html

I've created a new topic with the same name in its proper location under Mac Pro (previous to 2009) rather than this one.

Backing up KM Folders via Portal Drive

Hi Experts,
We've implemented Netweaver Portal 7.0 with SP14 for a local company. Company migrated all shared folders from filesystem into KM via Portal Drive.
Portal is running on a VMWARE machine with Linux OS.
Followings are common questions, when we implement a Document Management SYstem on KM. I'm writing my answers but need help in Q2 esp.
Q1: How to backup files in KM?
A1: KM repostory is default DBFS mode ad all files within KM are stored in DB. So backing up DB means backing up KM thus all files.
Q2: How to backup/restore single/multiple files in KM in case of accidental deletion?
A2: In case of accidental deletion, with SP14 "Deleted Items" functionality given to KM and you can view and restore files deleted.
In case of permanent deletion, there is no option for KM file backup/restore other than DB.
Here we tried to simulate something following to backup files and restore in case of problem just like FileSystem document management:
On Backup Server, we installed Portal Drive and mapped the Portal KM Folders.
Then created a FileSystem backup on this mounted FS. But unable to backup in specific cases.
Not sure what is causing the problem, may be backup software, may be VMWARE architecture or may be linux or SAP portal for the last.
Here is the error code we get when we tried to backup KM Folders on a 32-bit windows 2003 server with Netbackup.
6/4/2008 2:14:53 PM - granted resource MediaID=@aaaae;Path=Z:\bck;MediaServer=bkcompany

May be this specific case is encountered by any of you
Does anyone have any solution or sample implementation like above.

Outlook integration on terminal server

Hi Experts,
I am facing Outlook Integration problems with one of our clients who uses outlook integration on their terminal server for about 10 users. They were on SAP 2007A SP00 PL47 and using outlook integration on terminal server for about 10 users without any problems.
I recently upgraded them to SAP 2007A SP01 PL7 and after that there are add-on initialization errors on the terminal server with outlook integration and payment add-on. The add-ons are installed and working OK on application server and other client machines.
On the terminal server;
1. Initialization of add-ons failed giving "Initialization Failed" error. I tried to reinstall add-on on Terminal server but same result.
2. When trying to logon to SAP within Outlook; system gives ""XYZ" is not a valid company name" error and login fails.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Dave

Portal Drive Single Sign On and Kerberos Authentication

Hi,
We are using NW2004s SP10 Portal and we have successfully configured Kerberos authentication with Windows Active Directory 2003. To access the KM Content in windows explorer format, we are using Portal Drive but Portal Drive still asks for authentication i.e. SSO is not working for Portal Drive. I have understood from the forums and sap help site that SSO from portal drive will work only for NTLM authentication and client certificates. Can you please help regarding below questions.
1. Can Kerberos and NTLM authentication be configured together.
2. If yes, what are the steps to configure NTLM authentication for NW2004s SAP Portal and Active Directory 2003.
3. Any other approach to make Portal Drive SSO work.
Helpful answers will be rewarded.
Regards,
Chandra

Hi Gregor,
I did two things:
first i made a change in the portalapp.xml in the PAR file "com.sap.km.cm.par". In the section authentication scheme for "docs" I changed the authentication scheme to "default" to make sure that documents are opened using the default authentication scheme (SPNego) instead of basic authentication
second, I used the SPNego wizard to configure SPNego. So I didn't adjust anything in the Visual Admin or the authentication template apart from adding the Template to the Ticket policy configuration.
Again, this only worked after installing the latest vesion.
Hope this helps
