Portal Drive Cache

Hi All,
I have a question about the portal drive cache.
Portal Drive is a web dav client to connect to your portal content with the windows explorer.
My problem ist that Portal Drive stores cached data on the c:\-drive, in my environment
it is C:\Documents and Settings\tfelp4\Local Settings\Application Data\Xythos\cache.
My requirement is to store the cached files on another drive like d:\, because the c-drive is already full and only
used for storing pinstallation files.
Thanks for helping me
Steve

Any ideas so far??
Thanks in advance
Thomas

    Hi Sybille,
    the Disk Cleanup Tool in Windows. But this tool has a problem with a path with more than 255 chars.
    Hm, I never had such a problem, but as I'm just using some small test content on my local server, maybe I don't have paths which are that long...
    CLEAR CACHED FILES under options in Portal Drive Client. After that I could execute the tool.
    That should be o.k. what´s your opinion?
    Yes, that sounds like almost better than a workaround, almost a "solution", if your users can live with the cache cleaned when they want to clean up their drive. And if they want to clean their drive, probably cleaning this cache, too, makes absolutely sense...

  • 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.

    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

  • 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.

  • Portal Drive Authentication Issue

    Hi Folks,
    I have installed the Portal Drive on my Desktop. It works quite good except the authentication of my user-id.
    This means, whenever I connect to a KM folder that can be accessed by "Everyone", everything works well. All functionalities are proper. If I cange a document, I can see that the user is "Guest".
    But whenever I try to connect a KM Folder, in which the Access Rights are set only to my user, then the Authentication fails.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    I am using Portal 7.0 SP16.
    I setup Portal Drive in my local system. I am able to connect to a folder in km repository for a machine having only one portal instance.
    But when I tried to connect to folder for a machine having two or more portal instance, it is not able to connect.
    I tried all the machine with only one portal instance and it works fine but it doesn't connect for machine having more than one portal instance.
    Any help would be great to resolve this issue. I am getting error like:
    " server is currently experiencing a problem connecting users. Please try later."

  • Drive Cache Errors in Logs

    I noticed that the same two entries in /var/log/errors are flooding my logs and I would like to know if this is an issue I can resolve or a red flag for bigger things...

    Does anyone know whats causing the entries above and how I can resolve this?

    is your drive new or old, you can ignore this message since the kernel thinks that the drive does not support caching. if your drive supports caching but the kernel is not recognizing it, you can change it yourself by using hdparm/sdparm

  • Portal Drive Error--re-install SAP NW Portal Drive software and try again

    Dear Experts,
    Could you please let me know if there is any permanent fix for
    Portal Drive inconsistence behaviour.
    1.We use NW2004s SPS 13.
    2.After the installation of Portal Drive (version 4.5.6796 ) on an
    desktop, windows is not stable and must be restart (cold start).
    3. After the restart the problems still exists and only a
    deinstallation resolves the problem.
    4. Sometimes the problem occurs on connecting to a service,
    sometimes on disconnecting.
    Sometimes on starting windows, but before the load of Protal
    Drive.
    5."Presently we are getting error SAP NetWeaver Portal Drive is not installed or configured correctly.Please re-install SAP
    NetWeaver Portal Drive software and try again"
    6. If we uninstall it and reinstall, it is working fine.
    I wanted to know if there is any permanent fix for this inconsistance in Portal drive.
    Because i have received complaints from more than 9 users in this week.
    Really thanks for helping me

  • Debugging Drive Cache

    I am writing a custom plugin using Drive 3.0.1.104.  For the most part, my plugin is working well.  Occasionally, however, it looks like the Drive cache is not consistent with state of the content in my CMS.  When this happens, I notice the wrong context menu items will be enabled in Finder/Explorer (e.g., "Check In..." vs. "Cancel Check Out..."), and the Drive icon in InDesign does not contain a checkmark or a pencil.  When I look in the logs, I will often see exceptions like "FileSystemException: Invalid Handle" or "ModelObjectNotFoundException: Cannot find class com.adobe.drive.data.internal.model.Asset with id='144'".
    I assume this is due to me sending inconsistent information to Drive via the UpdateRecipe.  However, since Drive is a black box and this is happening intermittently, it makes it extremely difficult to debug issues like these.  Is there any way to open the hsqldb database so that I can try to understand the current state of the Drive cache?  I have downloaded hsqldb, but don't have the password to get into the database.
    Thanks,
    Rich

    The database files of Adobe Drive are under the following folder:
    Win XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[current-machine-user]\Application Data\Adobe\CS5ServiceManager\database
    Win 7: C:\Users\[current-machine-user]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CS5ServiceManager\database
    Mac: /Users/[current-machine-user]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS5ServiceManager\database
    To browse database, execute the following command to launch hsqldb util.
    java -cp [path-to-hsqldb.jar] org.hsqldb.util.DatabaseManagerSwing
    A 'Connect' dialog will appear. Input the following info In 'Connect' dialog to open the database.
    Type: HSQL Database Engine Standalone
    URL: jdbc:hsqldb:file:[path-to-database, above shows the details]/adrive-db
    User: SA
    Password:[no password, leave it blank]
    After successfully connect to the database, you can input sql to browse database content.

  • 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

  • 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.
    Message was edited by: Phil Gleadhill
    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.

  • Drive cache disabled

    We lost a drive in our XRAID. Pulled the bad drive and put another in. It started rebuilding automatically (RAID 5) and everything is up and running. But, I noticed that drive cache is enabled for all other drives in the RAID except the new one. Is this a problem?

    The Apple Drive Modules use an Apple specified firmware from the manufacturer. The RAID chassis itself relies on this. So when you replace it with off-the-shelf drives you may not get all the functionality and control, as you're seeing.
    No way to fix this other than getting a drive from Apple, or in getting one with the same firmware (maybe same exact model #) that Apple uses on the 500 GB drives.

  • Drive Cache Disabled on recently replaced RAID drive

    Hello. We recently had a 250GB drive go down in the Xserve RAID at my work. Unable to get a replacement, we put a 500GB drive in. We realize that we will only get 250GB capacity out of the drive. Everything seems to be working fine, but in the RAID admin utility, the newly replaced drive has "drive cache disabled" showing, as well as "powered on hours: unknown"
    My questions are: What are the consequences of this? Is this something a firmware update would fix? Any other concerns?
    Thanks
