Portal on Unix cannot mount Windows File server

Hi Experts,
We had installed a NW 7.0 portal onto HP-UNIX server and integrated it with MS AD server. Now, we are facing an issue that we cannot mount windows files server when we tried to configured it with TREX. Had anyone tried this function or it is the limitation? Is the following statement still correct or do we have workaround solutions?
"If you are using the Microsoft Active Directory Service, you can only integrate documents into a Windows portal. The combination of Microsoft Active Directory Service and a UNIX portal is not supported."
Best Regards

Hi Tom,
have a look at this link:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/ed/b334ea02a2704388d1d2fc3e4298ad/frameset.htm]
Your issue should work, but the prerequisite is for using the windows permissions:
"If you are using Microsoft Active Directory Service, you have to operate the Windows domain in mixed mode". If it is running in Native mode you cannot use the windows permissions. Nevertheless integrating documents into KM should work. The KM uses its own permissions instead.
Best regards,
Denis

Mount windows file server over vpn

I have a Windows(2003SP2) file server within some LAN with IP 192.168.10.10 and with shared folder structure like
/Sity/District/
I am authorised to connect to this LAN over VPN (it works) and to connect to /Sity, but I am authorized only to see and modify files within /District folder.
With the command 'smbclient -U username //192.168.10.10/Sity' in Terminal I can connect to the server and e.g. get all the files from /Sity/District/. However, neither mount_smbfs in Terminal nor Connect to Server in Finder can mount the share - error is
mount_smbfs: negotiate phase failed: syserr = Connection refused, Finder complain about the username and the password. The /etc/nsmb.conf has the following structure
[default]
minauth=none
Is there a way to mount such share?

Yes, it replies 'could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct'.
Same for almost all combinations of smb://WORKGROUP;user:password@IP/Sity[/District]
I also tried different options for mount_smbfs like '-I' with no result. Error reads
mount_smbfs: negotiate phase failed: syserr = Connection refused
There is also no network browsing (mDNSResponder: NOTE: Wide-Area Service Discovery disabled to avoid crashing defective DNS relay 192.168.1.1.)
But the smbclient works and I can get the folder structure.

Query on integrating windows file server into SAP KM using WEBDAV

hi
I have sucessfully integrated windows file server into SAP KM using WEBDAV. I have query in it regarding the possible validation against the portal Database user. Can we configure such that the user comparison happens for LDAP as well as database user. Have anyone configured such a scenario?
Regards,
Ganesh N

Hi Ganesh,
this should work in principle.
However you would need a user in Active Directory for each user in the portal database that should connect to the file server if you are using the SSO22KerbMap Module as I assume.
In my whitepaper I have mentioned this for the internal user index_service that does only exist in the portal database.

Problem while integrating windows file server into SAP KM using WEBDAV

Hi
I am trying to integrate windows file server into SAP KM using WEBDAV . I have downloaded the kerberos ini filter and included in the windows system. I am only trying to bring the files in the same system into KM but with no luck. When i check the log file in the kerberos folder i am getting
<b>12:02:22 10828/10476 E OnPreprocHeaders: Found 0 UserPrincipalNames for ADSI Filter (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user) (userPrincipalName=xxxx))</b>.

                       Add the ServicePrincipalName HOST/idbsrv8.idbhq.org.
Can anybody please help me in this regard???

Hi Ganesh,
this error message tells you that there is no user in your active directory that has the userPrincipalName xxxx.
The SSO22KerbMapModule works as follows.
1. It receives a SAP Logon Ticket from the WebDAV request.
2. If valid the SAP username is extracted. In your case the SAP username is xxxx.
3. It then searches for a user in AD. It does so using the attribute in the ini-file that has been specified to contain the SAP username. In your case the SAP username should be identical with the userPrincipalName.
So you have to make sure that the portal user id (j_user) is mapped to the same AD user attribute that is specified in the ini-file .

Server 2012 R2 SMB - The process cannot access the file '\\server\share\test.txt' because it is being used by another process.

Hi,
We are having issues with Server 2012 R2 SMB shares.
We try to write some changes to a file, but we first create a temporary backup in case the write fails. After the backup is created we write the changes to the file and then we get an error:
The process cannot access the file '\\server\share\test.txt' because it is being used by another process.
It looks like the backup process keeps the original file in use.
The problem doesn't always occur the first time, but almost everytime after 2 or 3 changes. I have provided some code below to reproduce the problem, you can run this in a loop to reproduce.
The problem is that once the error arises, the file remains 'in use' for a while, so you cannot retry but have to wait at least several minutes.
I've already used Process Explorer to analyze, but there are no open file handles.
To reproduce the problem: create two Server 2012 R2 machines and run the below code from one server accessing an SMB share on the other server.
Below is the code I use for testing, if you reproduce the scenario, I'm sure you get the same error.
We are not looking for an alternative way to solve this, but wonder if this is a bug that needs to be reported?
Anybody seen this behavior before or know what's causing it?
The code:
string file =
@"\\server\share\test.txt";
if (File.Exists(file))
File.Copy(file, file +
".bak", true);
File.WriteAllText(file,
"Testje",
Encoding.UTF8);
The error:
System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file '\\server\share\test.txt' because it is being used by another process.

Hi,
There is someone else having the same issue with yours. You could try code in the article below:
“The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process”

Have you moved from Unix/Oracle to Windows/SQL Server

I am looking for people that have moved from Unix/Oracle to Windows/SQL Server...
Would you do it again ?
Did you save money ?
Were you using Zones to virutalize on Unix ?
Did you gain or loose overall Performance ?
Have you had to perform a recovery on SQL Server ?
Have you done a recovery in Oracle ?
Were you using Rman ?
Which worked better ?
We are going through an analysis of does it really make sense, save money and effect performance to move from a strong unix/oracle environment to a MS/SQL environment.
THanks Rob

Hi,
All our R/3 legacy systems are Windows/Oracle.
All the new systems (BW, SRM, CRM, XI) are Windows/MSSQL.
It was an order from the management to make the switch because of the high prices of Oracle licences.
The official motto is now Oracle on Unix only and SQL server on Windows only.
We get the same level of performance as with Oracle, but we, old SAP Oracle grumpy admins, are much more comfortable with Oracle admin than SQL server admin.
imho, SQL server may seem simplier but it is much easier to look under the hood whith Oracle.
We have to reinvent the wheel and it's kind of frustrating but we will cope with it...
I would say that SQL server is not a good choice for BW usage because there is a lot more litterature on BW database optimisation for Oracle than MSSQL.
The official SAP class does not speak at all about SQL server but has several chapters on Oracle...

Can I store referenced master files on a shared folder on a windows file server?

I have a windows file server where I have setup shared folders that my Macbook can access. Is it a supported configuration to keep my referenced master files on the windows share?

I hardly ever use the Bridge. I mostly use the Bridges to work one groups of new image RAW to edit metadata and create ACR settings. I don't use bridge features like collections or use the bridge to organize my image and I also don't use Lightroom. I mostly use Photoshop and Window's File explorer with my Image files. I have installed FastPictureViewer Codeg package to get thumbnails for RAW and PSD files in a Window's dialog. I don't like the delays introduced in workflows that are cause by the overhead requires for Bridge Cashes and Lighroom Databases.
However for you with 50 users sharing assets on network drives I would think you would need a library system above and beyond Bridge and Lightroom. A library system that provides access and version processes so users don't step on each others work.
If you want to use the bridge I do not believe it would be possible to use a shared cashed where multiple instances of the Bridge could concurrently maintain a common cache. I do not believe either Bridge or Lighroom design would have the locking protocols required for shared concurrent use.

When I access a windows files server with the mac I am adding .apple (hidden files). How can I prevent this.

When I access a windows files server with the mac I am adding .apple (hidden files). How can I prevent this?

Look for a program called BlueHarvest. I'm not sure if it still works with Mountain Lion.
I believe your file server can be set up to handle the metadata files, but I suppose that would depend on the Server software and your IT staff.

Migrate documents from the windows file server into km

Hi All,
I have around 100 GB of documents in a file server and i want to migrate the same data in to KM.
I am sure that there should be some standard process to do this,can any one please help me out in solving this.
Thanks
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
what do you mean by migrate? You could use a Windows Filessystem KM-Repository to integrated these files directly into KM (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/92322ab24e11d5993800508b6b8b11/frameset.htm)
Otherwise you could use WebDAV (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/4a/217fb6c33c6748a1715a161ac942cd/frameset.htm, http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/9600e5391e25dee10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm) or the Portal Drive (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/42/c99b91341a6bade10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm) to copy these files in a (for example) DB repository.

Mac Lock Files on Windows File Server.

Hi Pro,
got some problem with Mac based design studio who have some weird issues with files locking on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server. After investigation, it is 100% a file locking issue. Some programs including preview, acrobat, indesign, finder or opening files (assuming locking them) and not releasing. Killing all the programs or remounting the share is working (releasing all lock files) but it's only a workaround not a fix. Do you any hints ? or Solutions ? all 10.7.3 Mac, using SMB protocol on a windows 2008 R2 File server.
Thanks to all !!!

yeah try this ... sorry french blog .. try google translate:

File shares in EMC Isilon NAS not being accessible .........in windows file server

Hi
We have an odd issue in windows 2003 server where the users are not being able to access the shares in EMC Isilon NAS drives.
Found that the KB 3002567 installed on last Tuesday March 10 2015, caused the issue and related to Data that resides on EMC Isilon clusters is unavailable to SMB/SMB2/SMB3 clients.
Finally resorted to uninstall the particular patch from the Domain controllers of 2003 & 2008 and the shares are being accessible.
Is there any alternative to this process of uninstallation of the patch KB 3002567 ......since this patch has to be uninstalled in pending DC's?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks & Regards S.Swaminathan Live & let others live!!!
