Portal Object Import problems

Trying to import my login server, apps, content areas and pages to another portal instance with the same name. When running the import scripts, there are no error messages. In fact they report that rows are being added. When I look for the objects in Portal, they do not show up. I looked in the tables and there were no rows added. Any ideas?

Portal Export / Import Problems

I'm trying to export a Portal application from a solaris development machine running Portal 3.0.7 to a solaris production machine running 3.0.8 and I'm having problems.
As a starter I thought I'd try just the Login Server and the Security bits in that order.
Everything seems to go okay with both the export and import using ssoexp.csh/ssoimp.csh and secexp.csh/secimp.csh but when I navigate to the new production site and try to login with one of the usernames and passwords that should have been imported, I get an authentication failure.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Garry

Folks,
Here is the output I receive after running the appropriate import scripts

From the output you can see that there is data being imported for the Portal users but not OPDSTATS the user I wish to use, and have created on my development site.
However the WWUTL_SSO_TX_PERSON$ table has an entry created for OPDSTATS. I have compared the encrypted passwords for opdstats on dev and prod databases and they are the same.
The logon user OPDSTATS uses a schema called OPDUSER that is not created on the database after import of both Login Server and Security.
I can however logon as portal30 and have tried updating the table WWUTL_SSO_TX_PERSON$ with the portal30 encrypted password for the opdstats user, again this was unsuccessful.
Any idea anyone ?

Work around portal's export/import problem

Hello.
Here in Spain we have tried Oracle Portal's import/export several times with no success (our last attempt ended in Metalink cases 1911182.996, 1911205.996, 2132048.22, 2132045.22, 2132043.22, 2132049.22, 1870233.995 and 2132042.22) . Maybe part of the problem is that our content areas are in Spanish. Anyway, we have given up on that import/export. Right now what we are doing is moving the control and data files whenever we HAVE to take our portal to another machine. We are looking for another way of doing it. This is what we are trying to do now:
DESTINATION DB
==============
* start with a portal installed here
* create the script that will later enable the constraints of schemas PORTAL30_DEMO, PORTAL30_SSO_PS, PORTAL30, PORTAL30_SSO
* disable the constraint of schemas PORTAL30_DEMO, PORTAL30_SSO_PS,PORTAL30,PORTAL30_SSO
* truncate all tables in these schemas (except WWSEC_ENABLER_CONFIN_INFO$ in portal30 and portal30_sso)
* drop sequences
* import these schemas' tables and sequences from the origin DB
* enable the constraints
* if necessary run the ssodatan
Has anybody done it already? With what results? How are you importing/exporting a portal right now?
If this doesn't work (we believe it will) we will look at portable (?) tablespaces.
Thank you, Mere.

Has anyone followed this migration while paper?
As far as I can tell, it takes nothing from the portal30 schema. Not sure how the applications will get set up without importing some of this data

Coping Portal objects from Test to production on different Domains

I want to know if anyone besides my company uses separate domain environments to do development, QA, and production. How did you get around the object owner issues that come from this level of security. Did you have to Export OID objects from one environment, and import them into the other environments to get a common GUID? Do you use a common user to do development? I would like to hear some common/best practice advise if you have any.
For those that want to understand the issues here is a little example:
For this example, I am going to call my company Acme (I like this name). Acme uses a Sneaker method of security (Sneaker method means - To move data from one level to another, you must put in on a diskette, tape, or CD and put your sneakers on the floor and walk it to another location to install it.). While this is the most secure method out there to day, it makes working in development EXTREMELY difficult. Completely isolated environments require special concerns. I wanted to know if anyone out there does this now, and how they manage these issues.
Domains:
www.Acme.com
www.QAAcme.com
www.DevAcme.com
When you do development on your site you login as a portal developer JSmith, or KJones, of BRight on the www.devacme.com domain. You build your Portal objects and custom stuff. Now you want to move it to QA, so they can test it and promote it to Production. You build your transport sets. You export using your UNIX script and get your file. You burn the file and the UNIX script to CD.
You then take the CD to the www.QAAcme.com domain Portal server and login to that system as Oracle / OrcAdmin (God mode). You run the Import script as you normally would. <Error> This doesn't work completely because your user Jsmith is different on this domain and doesn't carry the same GUID in OID. While privileges and spelling are identical, the GUID's in OID differ and the domain names dont match. (Problem - Separate domains and OID identities - objects without matching owner GUID's will not import.)
When you check your stuff you realize that some or most of your work is missing, and all of the security that you placed on the objects is not working correctly either. Because domains are different, any OID users which you assigned permissions to are now not working at all. You will have to redo all the permissions work on this domain just like you did on the other domain. (Problem - there is no easy way to change domain names associated to OID users or group accounts, even if the names are EXACTLY the same. Permissions do not move over for users so assigning item level security is a waist of time since you will have to manually do all that work over again.)
To correct then problems above, you go and export OID user objects like OrclAdmin, IAS_Admin, and a few others. You import these identities on each domain. Now what? Do you give developers 1 identity to do their work? Pass out the Admin passwords on Dev to all the developers to do as they please? Do you build a Dev User for each Developer you have and manage those ID's outside of your normal routine?
This should draw a somewhat clear picture. There are more issues besides these. I left those out of this talk for now.
If you have questions please let me know. I would like to hear input on this. Right now, I don't have any easy solutions, just a lot of extra work. Thank you in advance for any input.
Frank

Hi Frank,
A very interesting question, which I never tried nor seen. Anyway, maybe I can try to give you a hand...
I believe the major problem doesn't seem to be the GUID but rather the privileges of the users / groups within the Portal. I'm assuming that you really want that the users and groups privileges be assigned to the three Portals, 'cause you wanna test them or something like that... otherwise it would be a lot easier to assign them only to the Production machine - also what the Portal documentation encourages you to do (and never take them with the Portal Export / Import... ie, the Portal ACLs).
In overview, what I think it might work, would be something like:-
1. Export all the OID users / groups to LDIF files.
2. Change the domains in the LDIF files to the Target Portal.
3. Import all the OID users / groups to the Target Portal.
4. Export with the Portal Export to a Transport Set.
5. Export the Transport Set to a DMP.
6. Import the DMP.
7. Backup the Portal Target at this stage - ALWAYS!
8. Before merging the DMP file the WWUTL_SEC_TX_PERSON$ and WWUTL_SEC_TX_GROUP$ tables need to be changed - DN (security is taking IDs of the users/groups internally to the Portal - so this should be fine).
9. Merge the Transport Set within the Portal UI.
Till point 8 it should be easy to be done... and you may check the Portal Configuration Guide over the 10.4.8 Migrating Users and Groups - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/portal.1014/b19305/cg_imex.htm
On step 8 do something like the following:-
-- groups (dn)
update WWUTL_SEC_TX_GROUP$
set dn=replace( dn, 'dc=dev_domain,dc=com', 'dc=prod_domain,dc=com' )
update WWUTL_SEC_TX_GROUP$
set dn_hash = wwsec_api_private.get_dn_hash( dn )
-- users (dn)
update WWUTL_SEC_TX_PERSON$
set dn=replace( dn, 'dc=dev_domain,dc=com', 'dc=prod_domain,dc=com' )
update WWUTL_SEC_TX_PERSON$
set dn_hash = wwsec_api_private.get_dn_hash( dn)
If you do have the opportunity to test this, I'd be much appreciated in knowing whether you've achieved to get this sorted out. And even if there is something I may be missing then you may come back with your questions as I'll try to answer them to my best knowledge.
Alternatively, you can use the cloning notes within the Metalink website, what they do is a schema database export / import and there it IDs with be there. The only downside is that the export / import will do everything and Portal Export / Import is more flexible, ie, you may not be interested in bringging the whole Portal, but just a couple of pages or Page Groups.
I hope it helps...
Cheers,
Pedro.
PS - I hope all the above makes sense, but if not, just let me know (or detail me what do you want where I've failed to understand you).

Using PowerShell to Fix an ObjectSID on a Portal object

Summary
Sometimes the ObjectSID just isn't what you want it to be or it's been unintentionally recalled due to another action. :)
This script should fix the portal object, just pass it the account name and domain on the command line and it will retrieve the SID, find the object by AccountName in the portal and then fix it if it is wrong.
Based on earlier examples by Joe Schulman and Markus Vilcinskas.

CTS+ object-import to repository shows red status

Hi all,
we are using CTS+ for our PI systems. We are using NW7.0 SPS15 and used the HOWTO guide for SPS14 to implement CTS+.
Every thing works fine, beside, that if somebody starts a transport the cache notification for the object-import to the repository always shows an error (integration repository) the integration directory shows no problem. If the cache notification is repeated the error disappears.
Does anybody have an idea what could be the problem or how to track the error?
Thanks for your help.
Christian

Hi Hemant,
thank you for your reply.
My problem is, that note 780747 describes the problem, but does not help...
It could not be a
"Temporary connection error" because the error can be reproduced and vanishes when "Repeat cache notification" is used (other user is used).
It could not be a
"Errors during the retrieval of cache data" because there is no problem shown in the "Problems" tab.
It could be a
"Incorrect configuration" but how do I check this? The rwb shows no problems (other user used than in CTS+) and as mentioned before, there are no problems shown in "Problems" tab.
I think the problem is, because the user NWDI_CTSADM is missing some permisions to start a cache refresh, but the user owns SAP_XI_CMS_SERV_USER, SAP_XI_DEVELOPER and SAP_XI_CONFIGURATOR as described in "How Tou2026 Configure Enhanced CTS for SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure 7.0 SPS14".
So my question is, how do I start a cache notification with a special user?
How can I check whats the problem?
Thank you for you help!
Best regards
Christian

Automate the Portal object assignment !!

Hi All,
Are there any standard tools available which can automate the process of assigning iviews/pages to worksets and roles?
Thanks
Sandip

Hi Bjorn
Do you mean the locale transalations wil be lost for the object attributes (title, description etc) even if we provide the locale values in the XML?
e.g. I have added the following lines in the XML for multilanguage support for an iView Title
<Attribute name="com.sap.portal.pcm.Title" type="text">
                 <AttributeValue value="Auto Test View" locale="en" />
                 <AttributeValue value="Auto Test View" locale_german="de" />
                 <AttributeValue value="Auto Test View" locale="" />
</Attribute>
You mean the german transalations will be lost if I import it????
Hi Tobias,
for test purpose, I created the XML manually. However, we can always create a valid XML using some macro scripts, program or standard Excel to XML mapping tool assuming you would want to create the Portal objects thru an Excel file.
Regards
Sandip

Page Export/Import problems

I have been trying to migrate my portal 3.0.7 development to another portal 3.0.8 development database and have been having problems with the page export and import routines. I have been following the Oracle Export / Import document and first come across the problem when importing the content area as it tries to import its content area page.
I have then tried to export / import pages separately and consistently get the following error.
pageimp.csh s portal30 p portal30 m reuse d pobpage.dmp c Kenny.ogg security

The version of Portal I am using is the Solaris version.
When I look at the new site and click on the pages Tab no new pages are loaded as expected. Does anyone have a similar problem or am I overlooking something?
Any suggestions?

Portal 3.0.8 is now available in both NT and UNIX. So you need to upgrade both your platforms and then use export/import between the same versions. That's easier said than done as I have yet to get the export/import scripts to correctly and fully work on exporting from NT to UNIX Tru64. Originally I ran the scripts on NT and connected to the UNIX DB; however, somewhere I saw that it is more relaible to run the scripts on UNIX. So I am trying that now.
Good luck!
(By the way I notice that Larry declared war on complexity. The laughable irony of this is revealed by a look at these discussion boards!)

Portal objects are not seen in portal contant

HI gurus
When I go to contant Administraction-->Portal contant ,I just see the no portal objects appears.its shows that the objects are required.
I already deployed ESS and MSS Business Packages with SDM but I can't see the content in the Portal Content.
Any help will be appreciated
Regards
Gaurav

Which SCA files have you deployed?
You have to deploy BPERP5ESSXXXXXXX.sca file for theiViews to appear in Portal Content.
You would have already deployed the files PCUIGP.sca ,SAPESS.SCA

LR3.2 import problem on computer with Windows OS

LR3.2 import problem on Windows OS
This is a continuation of a question that I posed on August 22, 2010 in the discussion string "Cannot import CR2". I have not been able to resolve the issue of importing an image into an existing folder location. I had not been able to work on this issue for a number of weeks due to other circumstances, until today.   Note that the following people had attempted to provide answers and suggestions already: ssprengel, JayS In CT.
I use a laptop with a Windows operating system and a Macintosh desktop with Snow Leopard. I run Lightroom on both of them. The Windows laptop has Windows Vista Home service pack 2, version 6.0 [6002]. Around August 12th I upgraded from Lightroom 2 [481478], to Lightroom 3 on the laptop. I left the LR2 on the laptop as well as LR3. On September 12th I upgraded the laptop to LR3.2. No other changes have been to the laptop or its software applications that I know of.
My current attempts at resolving the issue reveal that when I created a new catalog "Test Catalog" in LR3 and saved that catalog to my desktop new folder labeled "Test Catalog" that I can import an image into LR3.2 to a new folder on the laptop's desktop. I then deleted the images via LR3.2 Folders Remove function and tried to import the images into an existing folder as presented in the LR3.2 Import dialog, but get the error message "The following files were not imported because they could not be read.".   When I import images into a new folder placed on the desktop, I can use all functions in LR3 e.g. Develop module. I cannot import images into existing folders on the laptop's hard drive - I have tried importing into the entire existing folders in the following hierarchy: c:\users\Michael\My Documents\My Pictures\2010 but always get the same error message.
LR3.2 does correctly backups upon exiting each time I quit the program, so I know that there isn't any issue of writing to that backup folder which is contained in an upper folder that contains the lightroom catalogs. I have even created a new Word file, saved it into the folder with Lightroom catalogs, opened it up, modified it, saved it, and saw that it works OK, so that tells me there is no problem with a Read-Only folder attribute.
I cannot recall if upon the upgrade from LR2.6 to LR3 that I chose to upgrade the catalog to LR3 version. Would that matter, if yes, what do I verify, how do I manual upgrade the catalog.
History of actions between August 10th that I have taken follows between the [[[[ and ]]]]:
[[[[Preference settings for Default Catalog are set to start with a specific catalog that I call "Lightroom master catalog", it is not set to the "Load most recent catalog".
All of the following were using my laptop: Previously I had no problem with LR2 for any functions. I just purchased an Epson 7000 media storage device, and in early August and practiced importing images into LR2, and those images were pulled in OK. Next, I upgraded to LR3. I discovered that the Epson's images had been placed into a wrong folder when I opened LR3. I used the remapping function in LR3 to move the images into the correct folder. Next, I used a SanDisk card reader to import images into LR3 into an existing folder of images, but the following error message appeared "the following files were not imported because they could not be read" (Import Results said 'some import operations were not performed'). I tried importing a single image, and multiple images, but had the same error. I tried switching the card reader to each of 4 different USB port on the laptop, with the same error occurring on each USB port used.
In order to try to isolate the problem. I took the SanDisk card reader with the memory card and successfully imported the images into LR3 on my Macintosh desktop computer; so to me the problem is not the card reader or the memory card. I also used the SanDisk recovery disk while using my laptop to look at the files on the memory card and I could see all the images correctly while in the recovery program, but I have not copied the images to the laptop's hard disk, and have not tried an import into the laptop's LR3. I did not import images directly from my camera to the laptop LR3 since I did not think it would help with the troubleshooting.
I then ran the Repair from the Adobe LR3 CD upgrade disk, on my laptop. Then I tried doing the import using the SanDisk reader and memory card, but the same problem occurred and same error message, that the files could not be imported (I was trying to import into a folder of existing images). I then used the Laptop's Control Panel function to remove LR3 application. Then I did a fresh upgrade of LR3 on my laptop, but the same error message and I am unable to do any import of the memory card from the card reader. I then tried to do an image import from the Epson 7000 into the laptop, and the same error message and I am unable to do any import into a folder with existing images.   I then tried doing an image import into LR2 on the laptop, and got the same problem to occur when trying to import into an existing folder of images. I have a couple of Canon EOS SLR digital cameras, and the issue occurs for any of the file types of the cameras.
Went into LR3 Preferences, General Tab, I now checked the previously unchecked box for Import Options - "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected".
Connected the Canon XTi directly with a cable to the laptop computer. Note that Canon's information said that Picture Transfer Protocol is automatically used when the XTi is directly connected to a computer, so I did not need to change anything in the camera's menu for communications choices (there is no communication menu in fact). I selected one image and copied it to the laptop desktop. Tried to import it into LR3 into a folder of existing images but got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location." While in LR3, I changed the location of where the file would be copied into - any of my existing folders of images; tried 5 different folders, but kept getting the same error message.
With the card reader connected via USB port on the laptop, I copied one image file to the desktop, and then tried importing into LR3 into a folder of existing images. Got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location."]]]]

I am not clear if by 'import' you are trying to copy or move the files from a location to another or if you are adding the files to a catalog. My comments may not, therefore, be too helpful.
Firstly, with both LR2 and LR3 installed you will have both catalogs present, but if you try to open the LR2 catalog with LR3 you will be prompted to update the catalog. You will thus know which catalog you are working on.
Secondly, if you are reading direct from the camera, you should connect using the 'PC connection' mode.
Thirdly, there is an issue with reading .CR2 files directly from the early Canon DSLRs (in Europe named 300D, 350D, 400D). While they are visible with the Canon software, they can not be seen with Windows explorer nor can they be accessed with Lightroom.
I suggest that you take the CF card out of the camera and copy the files using Windows Explorer in to the destination folder. You are then sure that the files are on the PC.
If you have the right Codec installed, you can view them with Windows photo gallery; if you don't, you can use one of the Canon software packages to view the files. You are then sure that the files are not corrupted.
Then import the files to your LR catalog using the normal import routine selecting 'add without moving'. I have tried this routine successfully using my 350D using both LR1.x and LR3.x. If that doesn't work - I'm lost.

How to set up permission for portal objects and folder

Hi All,
We are implementing EP 7.0. For creating portal objects, I have assigned "Super_admin, Content_admin, System_admin and User_admin" role to my userid and created iviews, roles and folder.
During SAP audit they asked us to open a Iview to show the permission,   the below are the value shown in permission editor.
Role Name           ====== Administrator ===== End User ======Role Assigner
Everyone             ====== Read            ======Yes        ====== No
Super_admin_role ====== Owner            =====Yes         ======Yes
SAP asked us to change the permission and said "Super_admin_role" should not be used, they asked us to create a group or role and assign. We are not clear what SAP wanted us to do.
Can any one let me know how this permission needs to be given and whether "Super Admin" role can be assigned to a userid.
Thanks in advance.
Rgards,
H.K.Hayath Basha.

Hi Michael,
I didn't create any role. I will let yo know what I have done so far.
1. Created a group called "ADMIN_GROUP".
2. Assigned "SUPER_ADMIN" role to group "ADMIN_GROUP.
3. Assigned userid "ADMIN_USER" to group "ADMIN_GROUP".
4. Opened the persmission of "PORTAL_CONTENT" folder and added group "ADMIN_GROUP" and set this group as "OWNER", "END_USER" check box is ticked and "ROLE_ASSIGNER" check box is checked.
5. Removed the role "SUPER_ADMIN" from group "ADMIN_GROUP".
6. Logged into portal using "ADMIN_USER" created a folder called "TESTING". Then opened the
    permission editor for the folder "TESTING", it showed three record
    "ADMIN_GROUP"           === OWNER === 'X' === 'X'
    "EVERY_ONE"               === READ     === 'X' === ' '
    "SUPER_ADMIN_ROLE. === OWNER === 'X' === 'X'
7. I am not able to delete "SUPER_ADMIN_ROLE" from the permission editor, as it is greyed.
With the above steps what I have achieved is I have given permission to group "ADMIN_GROUP". Is this what we need to do. Did I did anything wrong.

On windows 8 and itunes I have importing problems the DVD is only reading the music cd from 1.5x to 4.0x for 95% of the time, it does hit speeds of 30x for the other 5% of the time. Is it a driver issue with the DVD or is it a windows 8 issue?

No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?

Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?
With a brand new Mac Pro and very latest Final Cut Studio complete with updates I'm having a little problem trying to import footage directly from a JVC GY-HD111E (yes I'm in PAL land, UK) via FireWire into FCP.
Footage is 720p/25p and timeline is set up in FCP that way.
I'm doing a 'capture now'. The first clip I'm trying to import is about 45 minutes long with no cuts/breaks whatsoever.
What happens is after about 60 seconds or so, it FCP automatically breaks the clip for no reason and starts a new one, trouble is, when it does this I lose about 4 seconds of footage at that point.
It continues to break clips randomly, sometimes after 40 seconds or so, sometimes after 95 seconds, but usually between 30 seconds and 2 minutes and each time it starts a new clip I lose between 1 and 6 seconds.
As I say, there are zero breaks or cuts in this clip, I have a 45 minute clip that was shot in one take, not even a pause anywhere.
Is this a JVC issue or a Final Cut issue?
It's a pain as it simply means I can't import my 9 hours of footage hence I can't get on with this project.
Any ideas why this phenomenon is happening?
Thanks guys.

I mean I get the same errors.
Let me explain again.
There are NO start/stop/pauses in this clip.
I'm trying to import just ONE clip with no breaks, again, there are NO start/stop/pause, it is one continuous clip of 15 minutes duration.
The JVC creates some sort of errors at the Firewire output stage, it drops frames or other errors, FCP gets confused and creates a new clip, even though it is the same clip, but due to the GoP structure, it looses a few seconds too hence I can't import the footage as I keep loosing bits here and there mid clip. It is randam, every 30 to 100 seconds or so it will do this.

Generate URL to Portal Objects in Web Dynpro

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in I have to generate a URL to portal objects such as iviews/pages from the PCD. I am able to retrieve the PCD contents but I am not able to generate the URL dynamically.
I cannot use WDPortalNavigation.absoluteNavigate method, since I need the URL of the object.
IUrlGenerator can be used, but it is asking for the IPortalComponentRequest object. Now where can I get this object in web dynpro.
Or is there a way to generate the URL of the iview/page dynamically in Web Dynpro. I have to use standard API only.
Please provide inputs on this.
Thanks in advance.

Use the below url
/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2f<yourfolder ID>!2f<if any subfolder id>
!2fcom.abc.xyz
where com.abc.xyz is the ID of the xyz iview/page
Use that url in your webdynrpo
