Real Time Collaboration on EP 6

Hi,
I have done all the required configuration steps for collaboration, but instant messaging through the CLP is not working. I just checked the installation guide which says collaboration requires a special license. I was wondering if this could be the possible reason RTC as to why collaboration is not working? if so what should I do to get this license else am I missing something here. Help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Rajitha

Hello Rajitha,
sounds more like a software / configuration problem.
Please check your logs and file a support ticket for this one.
The license for collaboration has been bundled into the NW license as from 2004 on.
Regards,
Joerg

Real time collaboration issue after Kerberos authentication setup

Hi,
We are using SPNego (kerberos) authentication for our portal (EP 7.0 SP10). When user clicks on log off link, he comes back to the portal home page again so there is no way for the user to log off from the portal. I don't see this as a problem for the users who are not having access to collaboration. But for the users having access to collaboration, when they login to the portal second time (before expiry of the first login session which they couldn't close as log off is not working), they get warning stating
"You are logged to the same portal already. Real-time collaboration capabilities will not be available in the current portal session until you terminate the other session and then restart this one by refreshing the browser or logging on again."
How to resolve this?
Helpful answers will be rewarded

Most people set the logoff link to a URL which contains soem javascript which closes the browser.

Working Collaboratively Across Teams Scenario Installation Guide
1     Purpose
The purpose of this scenario is to provide an example of how SAP Enterprise Portal can enable your teams to work collaboratively within the same functional team, or across functional teams with the use of the Collaboration Launch Pad (CLP).
Following you will find the information on how you can install this scenario. The Scenario Installation Guide provides you with the information you need to set up your business scenario configuration.
Note that the installation documentation for SAP Best Practices business scenarios is structured on two levels:
     Scenario Installation Guide: one document for a business scenario
     Building Block Configuration Guide: one document for a building block, but several documents for a scenario installation
The Scenario Installation Guide is the backbone of the installation documentation and describes which building blocks you need to install for this scenario and prescribes the order you have to follow when you install them.
For the installation of each building block, you have to refer to the corresponding Building Block Configuration Guide where you can find detailed configuration procedures of this building block.
Always use the Scenario Installation Guide (this document) as the starting point for all your installation activities.
For a successful installation of the entire scenario, it is important:
     that you follow the structure in the Scenario Installation Guide from the first to the last installation activity
     that you carry out all installation activities of a building block before you start with the next building block.
2     Prerequisites
     You have a live SAP R/3 backend system.
     SAP GUI installed on your machine to use Win GUI iView.
     You have read the essential document, Building Block N00: Essential Information.
     You have the End User role (eu_role) assigned to your user.
Collaboration Launch Pad: Activate Link:
The Collaboration Launch Pad (CLP) allows portal users to manage their contacts and launch services for collaboration. Users click a link in the tool area of the portal header to launch the CLP.
If you want to display the link to launch the CLP in the portal header after installing the Collaboration component, you must activate it manually in the attributes for the tool area of the default framework page.
Procedure
1.     Open the portal in a browser and go to:
SAP Netweaver Portal     Content Administration ® Portal Content ® Portal Users ® Standard Portal Users ® Default Framework Page
2.     Double-click Default Framework Page.

Error in Real Time Collaboration

Hi
We got an issue in our project.
When ever any user log's into Portal it is giving a message called
With title Real-Time Collaboration(You are logged to the same portal already. Real-time collaboration capabilities will not be available in the current portal session until you terminate the other session and then restart this one by refreshing the browser or logging on again.)
We are using EP6 SP13
And we are having 2000 Portal users every one is getting this error in portal.
And After restarting the Server we are not getting that error. And again after a month it again starts.
Thanking you in advance for help
From
Srikanth

Hi Srikanth,
We also faced the same error and it was because the same users have already logged into the portal once or more than once.
The capabilities of real time collaboration feature might not work if an user has made multiple login to the portal using same id.
Hope the issue should be same with you.
With regards
Deepa

WebCenter Real-Time Collaboration

Hi everyone,
I am interesting on this subject. Is any documentation regarding installation, configuration of "WebCenter Real-Time Collaboration" and integration with Oracle webcenter.
Greeting
Andres
Edited by: user10387663 on Jan 6, 2011 1:05 PM

I believe what you're looking for is in here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E16671_01/bh.200/e16641/portlets_install.htm#CBHIHBCD
That's a link to the Installation Guide for the Beehive Portlets, including a section specific to Oracle WebCenter Portal. What was called Beehive Conferencing is now being sold as WebCenter Conferencing (as part of WebCenter Real-Time Collaboration).
Hope that helps,

Configuring SSL for Real-Time Collaboration

Hi,
We installed OCS10gR1 because we want to use Real-Time collaboration for delivering support. At this moment we are trying to configure SSL. We already worked through the following guides :
- Real-time collaboration admin guide
- OCS admin guide
- OCS Security guide
- OPMN admin guide
but it's still very fuzzy. It's hard to get a clear overview about the steps to follow to get SSL working for RTC. Is there some kind of "cookbook" or simple guide which describes all the steps in a clear way.
Thank you

Hi,
I ran the SSLconfigTool.sh script on the Infrastructure with success but the midtierSSLConfigTool.sh script didn't come to an end. Probably, I ran the script with the wrong options. I used the following options :
<oid hostname> gary.woerden.centric (hostname on which ocs resides)
<oid port> 389 (default)
<oid admin dn> I filled in orcladmin, but maybe dn=woerden,dn=centric would be better ???
<http server SSL port> 8250 (from portlist.ini)
<https> internet_appserver_registry (I really didn't know what value this must be)
<hostname of the computer> gary.woerden.centric
<True | False> False
The output of the script midtierSSLConfigTool.sh with the options mentioned above:

Office Web Apps Server 2013 / Real-Time co-authoring

Hello,
In general, I would like
to ask the development team or product
manager SharePoint /Office web Apps.
As you already know in the cloud
product version introduces new features. Such as
authoring and other unlike on-premises version . This link demonstrate it.
http://blogs.office.com/2013/11/06/collaboration-just-got-easier-real-time-co-authoring-now-available-in-office-web-apps/ .
Please tell me the plans or roadmaps for the implementation
of these functions in the server version. Or Microsoft
has no plans to develop this area?

great, and as i said, we are working to keep parity, but there are still many features which are technically considered in preview in the O365 environment. after several months, depending on stability, feedback, and whether the feature fits well with
the product, it may either be tested to go into on-prem farms and come out of preview or be dropped altogether (auto-hosted apps).
This feature is definitely one that is key to the future of the product, but there isn't a timeline on when it will come to onprem. there ia a lot of additional testing before anything can be integrated to on-prem as the environments have many
more variables than the rather rigid architecture at O365, as well as the fact that the o365 farms have many of the preview features and so then anything to go into a feature for on-prem needs to be re-vetted in farms without those extras and checked for dependencies
(not normally an issue, but still part of the process).

How can 2 users collaborate real time on a Pages document?

I have two computers at home: an iMac and a macbook pro. We have no problem sharing document via the wireless Timecapsule network. Recently, as we have been deep in editing documents using Pages, we were trying to find out how to configure pages so that we can both edit the same document at the same time (collaboratively) and see each other's edits in real time as we progress. Google docs has this option but it's rather slow.
Is there an option to do this in Pages on a local network?
If no, do you know of any other Apple programs that let you collaborate on text document in real time?
Thank you.

Welcome to the forums!
Pages cannot do what you want. Most word processors can't. However, there are a few solution that can. SubEthaEdit is a collaborative text editor for the Mac, so it can handle this kind of task. It has received pretty positive reviews. You might also check out Collaborate, UNA (although this is more intended for software development), and Gobby.

Remote Extractor and Real Time Infocube for SEM BCS

Hi Experts,
I have somes doubts about the integration between SEM and BW.
There is a cycle that have the next processes:
1.- begin in R/3 with the movements in FI, CO and/or general ledgers
2.- Activate the extractors standards for replicate/extract data to BW. For example, 0FI_GL_XXXX.
3.- Configure a method for take the information from BW to SEM.
4.- My doubt begin here... For take the information from SEM to the real time infocube, where I configure? What Have I for configure?
The real time infocube, What is the proposal? Where take the data? Here, Do the remote extractor begin to apply?
Thank you very much for your collaboration.

We're using 0FI_GL_20 to read directly from FAGLFLEXT into SEM-BCS via a BI remote cube. There are some basic transformations in BI to "populate" the remote cube, then a standard Load from Data Stream in BCS to do final mappings. In the BCS workbench, just create a source data basis off the remote cube.
This works at my current project due to fairly low ECC data volumes. If you are doing any complex mapping on the Company or Fiscal Year / Period infoobjects, you may need to create a inverse mapping routine in the remote cube to transfer selection criteria. If you see messages in the monitor following a data load such as "xx,xxx of xxx,xxx records ignored", that means that you are reading too much data from ECC and it is only getting filtered on the BCS side. We had this problem with a custom extractor and adding an inverse mapping routine cut the load from ~5min to 30sec. (Basically, the custom, template-delivered, extractor only had 0FISCPER, not 0FISCPER3 and 0FISCYEAR, so we would read all 17 K4 periods into BI, map them into BCS, then BCS would throw out the unneeded periods. Unfortunately, we did not have the option to change the extractor, so this was the best approach.).
If I had large data volumes, I would use a regular BI basic cube for staging (or possibly a multi-cube with a mix of basic and realtime, depending on the load requirements to BCS).
If you use 0FI_GL_20, I would strongly recommend you implement OSS Note 1245822, or be on SAP_APPL 603.0002 or later.
Hope that helps,
