Resource Description Property in File System Repository

Hi Experts,
I have a File System Repository that contains files with cryptic file-names. For displaying them in portal I'd like to add descriptions to those files. I searched in SDN and found out that description property is not supported for File System Repositorys. Is that really true?
So what could be an alternative if I have an existing file system directory and I want to add description property.
Best Regards
Manuel

Hi Manuel,
the alternative is to integrate the fileshare via a CM repository in FSDB mode, where folders and documents are stored in the file system, but metadata is stored in the database.
See more infos and restrictions here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/62/468698a8e611d5993600508b6b8b11/frameset.htm
Hope this helps,

Unable to create File System Repository manager

Hello,
I would like to create File System Repository manager to this path: I have mapped a certain Network drive "
main-uni-fs1\pictures$" to the Portal Machine and under this machine it appears as drive "N:\", inside it there is a picture folder which I would like to create the mapping to. I tried setting the "Root Directory" value to "N:\" and to "
main-uni-fs1\pictures$" but I keep receiving an error message at the Repository Component Monitor (see below).
10X,
Roy

Hello Roy,
1> Create a new path that points to the pictures directory on the system. Enter the path lik
mypc.myorg.com\pictures
Under Sys admin -> Sys Config -> KM -> Content MGT -> Global Services -> Network path
Under the user name and password, enter your username and password
username whould be entered like domainname\username
2>Then create a system in for the mypc.myorg.com server under
Sys admin -> Sys Config -> KM -> Content MGT -> Global Services -> System landscape definitions -> System -> Windows Sytem.
(Assuming u are acessing a windows sytem from a portal running on windows platform).
You need to enter system id and description . Kindly remember the system id, since it would be useful in two places while usermapping and creating the file system repository.
3>create a file system rep mgr under
Sys admin -> Sys Config -> KM -> Content MGT -> Repository Managers > File System Repository
Following properties are most important.
Name , ACL manager cache, Security manager(which you would have to set to W2kSecurity manager)
prefix(this is the folder name that you will identify your repository with) Widws landscape System (this is the sytem id of step 2) and root directory (network path of first step only in this case enter it like this //mypc.myorg.com/pictures)
4>Then under user mapping section, you will find you system (the system id of second step) , enter your name as password.
Initially when you configure your rep manager, you dont need to start ur servlet engine. If you modify any property then you need to re start ur servlet engine.
These are the steps for creating repository
If this still does not get resolved. Then kindly read the limitations of creating the file system repository manager in the link that I had posted in my earlier post.
Thanks and Regards

File System Repository limitations

Hi everyone
I'm currently involved in a SAP Enterprise Portal project where we among other things are utilizing KM.
One of my customer's requirements are that we integrate an existing fileshare into KM. This fileshare is currently at ~200 GB and is still growing.
Since this is an existing fileshare we are planning on creating a file system repository manager for integrating it into KM.
To verify that this will actually work I have been trying to find any information regarding limitations of file system repositories in KM, but thus far without any luck. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could point me in the direction of such documentation.
Additionally it would be great if anyone could share their experiences with large file system repositories.
Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Svein Gunnar Standnes

Hi
A general recommendation would be to use small letters in all ID's regardring network drives, repositories etc. See https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/002fb447-d670-2910-67a5-bfbbf0bb287d for advice on how to optimize performance of KM.
Other than that, you could check the documentation mentioned here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/message?messageID=6398301#6398301
It seems as the root directory in your File System Repository Manager is not defined correctly. It should be forward slash instead of backslash.
Go through the settings again and see if the startup error changes or disappears. The startup error indecated that it is a configuration error.

Cm repository manager (FSDB) vs File System Repository

Hi folks,
I want to access the documents in a folder using portal and manage it using KM iviews. I was going through a list of repository managers avaialble and got confused with the cm repository manager in FSDB mode and File System repository manager. would like to know which one is suitable for my scenario and why.
Please help me in this regard.
Regards...

Hi Yogi,
the File System Repository Manager has following restriction: You can not use Predefined Properties, versioning, lock documents and create links.
With the CM Repository in FSDB mode you could use metadata like locks and predefined properties, which would be then saved in the DB, but you have to make sure that you don't allow access on FS level (so without portal). Furthermore you can use resource properties like Description, Read-only, and Hidden which is not supported by the file system repository manager.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Problem with File System Repository after release change

Hello,
we have been changing the Portal release from EP 6.0 to SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 SP17. The OS of the host is Windows 2003 Server.
If I open the component monitor to watch the repostitories, the state of the file system repositories are red and a error message occurred:
Startup Error: getting mapped math - Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password
I checked the logon credentials....they are ok. Also I checked the access from the Portalhost to the Windows File System....it´s ok too.
In our previous portal release the FSR were ok!!
Is there a difference between the file system repository configuration in portal 6.0 and portal 7.0?
Thanks and regards
Tom

Hello Hussain,
I have checked the username and the password of the user who have full access on the Windows file system, but the same error occurred. In the Network Path we have configured a domain user for the file system access. Here is the configuration of the network path:
Name: Test
Description: Test
Networkpath:
Host\share
Password: ****
Re-enter Password: ****
User: domain\user
Here the configuration of the repository:
Name: Test
Description: Test
Prefix: /Test
Lookup Mode: caseless
Root Directory:
Host\share
Repository Services: Nothing
Property Search Manager: com.sapportals.wcm.repository.manager.generic.search.SimpleManagerSearchManager
Security Manager: AclSecurityManager
ACL Manager Cache: ca_cm_rep_acl
Windows Landscape System: Microsoft_Windows_KM
Read only: unchecked
Could it be that I need a user mapping for the access of the windows file system?
Perhaps the configuration of the Windows Landscape System is wrong?

Creating File System Repository for a remote system

Hi Experts,
My requirement is that I need to create a KM repository in EP from where I need to upload documents into the BW system. Is File System Repository the right type of repository which I need to create for this purpose?
If yes, then in what format do I have to specify the value of the Root Directory property of the repository? I have a folder /data/docs created in the BW system within which I want to upload documents using this repository. But since this folder is located on the BW system which is a remote system for EP, I am not sure how I have to enter the path to this folder.
Can anyone give me any hints on this?
Warm Regards,
Saurabh

Hello Saurabh,
I don't think an FS repository is what you are looking for in this scenario, you could instead use a BI Repository Manager, for more information see:

File System Repository

Hi all,
I want to create the file system repository for my system .
Here is what i have done.
Created a directory on my local machine and shared it giving the folder full access.
Created a system in CM and system configuration (KM windows system) and I have done user Mapping
Created Network path and I have given my user name and pwd in that.
While creating the file system repository I have given Windows Landscape System as what I have given in CM and Security Manager as W2ksecurity Manager.
But it shows the following error in component Monitoring.
Startup error: The local root does not exist:
172.25.12.154\smilies
I have reffered the following link
[Integrating Documents from a Windows System into KM |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ed/b334ea02a2704388d1d2fc3e4298ad/frameset.htm]
What is the problem? Whether I have missed anything ?
Thanks & Regards,
Hemalatha J

Hi Hema,
1. Does the User specified in Network Path have full access to specified folder?
2. Check the Host within URL Generator Service (Content Management -> Global Services -> URL Generator Service)
3. Check your KM-Windows System (User Mapping Type = admin,user?)
4. Did you define an Alias for you KM-Windows System? The Property Windows Landscape System within the FileSystem Repository must point to the Alias name of your KM-Windows System

File System repository manager

Hi All,
I am working on configuring a File System Repository Manager. I followed the documentation at
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/e3/92322ab24e11d5993800508b6b8b11/content.htm
and
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/284
I made all the configurations and also restarted the portal still do not see the repository in the KM content under root. We are on Netweaver Portal 7.0 on AIX 5.3/DB6, Shared drive is on Win 2003 OS.
Here are the some details on the configurations I made:
Network Path:
jCIFS Protocol: Active
Description: Documents on Shared Drive
Network path:
<IP Address>\public\temporary
password: ***********
USer: Domain\User
File System Repository:
Description: Documents on Shared Drive
Prefix: /abcdef
Root Directory: //<IP Address>/public/temporary/FileShare
Security Manager:AclSecurityManager
ACL Manager Cache: ca_rsrc_acl
Read Only: Not Active
Please advice - thanks -sm
Edited by: sm on Oct 24, 2008 4:34 PM
Note: EP and Share Drive are on the same domain.

Hello sm,
You can monotor your repository manager cofiguration, whther it has been activated or not.
It should show in green symbol if it has been correctly configured and active.
Goto system Admin>monitoring>KM>Component monitor>Repository managers-->Check ur repository.... Green color indicate is working fine...
Red color indicate error...
you can check your configuration for the repository.
Example configuration of a UNIX file system repository manager:
Name                = fs_rep_unix
Localroot           = /usr/company/share
Prefix              = /company-share-unix
Read Only           = deactivated
Send Events         = activated
Repository Services = properties, rating
ACL Manager Cache   = ca_rsrc_acl
Security Manager    = AclSecurityManager
You can check your Local root i.e. your Root directory. The format should be correct as given in the example.
Don't foget to appreciate, if helpful!!!

How to control permissions in KM using File System Repository Manager

Hello everybody
I have a scenario with 15+ file servers which content needs to be mapped into Portal KM as read-only.
Windows Authentication is configured on the portal, so the users don't need to supply the portal with username/password.
Now the users are of course only allowed to see the same content in the portal as they can see on the file servers. I know that the permission mapping can be done using a File System Repository Manager with W2KSecurityManager, but in that case the users will have to maintain the mapping of rights from windows to portal manually. And with ever-changing passwords this is too big an administrative task. So I am looking for another solution.
My question is therefore:
How can you configure the File System Repository Manager in a way where it the user does not need to maintain "user mapping" manually, but only need to logon to the portal (through windows authentication) and can see the same files from the portal as he/she can see from the file servers.
Can this information in some way be taken from the configured Windows Authentication? Or is the only solution to enable WebDav on the file servers and and follow the "Integration of Windows File Servers into the SAP KM platform Using SSO and the WebDAV Repository Manager"-guide?
Any help will be rewarded.
Best regards,
Martin Søgaard

Hi again Dirk
I just studied the "Integration of Windows File Servers into the SAP KM platform using SSO and the WebDAV repository manager"-guide in depth and I don't quite understand what rights the cmadmin_service and notificator_service are supposed to be given in the Active Directory. In the guide it says:
"A number of global services and repository services need to perform operations on resources in various repositories. For example, the index management service must read all resources it is meant to index. When an index is created, the service user index_service is used. Therefore, this user has to have at least read access to all repositories that are to be indexed. Other users that are used by the SAP KM platform are the service users notificator_service and cmadmin_service. When a search is taking place, it is the user that is currently logged on to the portal."
I dont quite understand what the two service users are doing but more importantly, I need to give the two service users the correct permissions in the Active Directory (or through user mapping). I understand that index_service only needs read_only permissions, but what permissions should the cmadmin_service and notificator_service be given?
Best regards,
Martin

Windows & File System Repository - security issues

Hello,
I got a strange behavior in EP 6 SP 2 using KM and Windows file systems. Here is the scenario:
- I created a Network Path and a File System Repository pointing to a Windows 2003 File System, following the portal help instructions. Both EP6 server and Windows 2003 server are in the same domain.
- according the KM Monitor, the repository is up and running
- the portal users can access their respectives folders in the file system after having their uids / passwords mapped in the user mapping option
- the portal is assuming the permissions (read & write & list folder & etc) from windows
So far it seemed to be everything ok - but after some tests we got the problem:
- user "A" has his uid/pwd mapped in portal, and read & write access to the file system "dept_folder". He can access the folder through a KM iview, with r/w privileges.
- user "B" has his uid/pwd mapped in portal, and ONLY read access to the file system "dept_folder". He can access the folder through an KM iview, with read privileges.
- and here comes the problem: if user "A" is logged, and user "B" replaces his uid by user "A" uid in the user mapping (only the uid, the password doesn't matter) he can access the file system "dept_folder" with the same privileges than user "A".
I looked in SDN, SAP Notes and SAP Portal Help trying to find an article related to this, no success so far. We have CM Patches 2 & 3 applied, and Patch 4 doesn't have any comment about this specific security problem.
Has someone already face this problem ? Or could be something wrong in my configuration ?
Rgds, and tks in advance
Fernando Cervantes

Hi David
The same occurred here, I think I know the reason. Let me just give you an overview of my configuration:
Network Path id          ccc-ccc1fs-drive_i
Description *           DRIVE I - CCC1FS Server
Network Path *
ccc1fs\Drive_I
Password           *********
Re-Enter Password      *********
User *           ccc\service
The user was provided by the Windows administrator and has full control for this folder.
File System Repository
Description                  File System drive_i CCC1FS Server
Prefix *                /ccc-ccc1fs-drive_i
Root Directory *           //ccc1fs/drive_i
Windows Landscape System      Windows
ACL Manager                Not set
Security Manager          W2KSecurityManager
The important here is the Security Manager configuration - it must be W2KSecurityManager, otherwise you will have the user permissions overrided by admin user permission. And you will need to configure a Windows system landscape too.
I hope this can help you...concerning the bosses, I got the same situation, I said the whole stuff would work fine

File System Repository - User Mapping not Working

Hi,
I tried to integrate a file system into KM. For doing so, I followed the guide located at [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ed/b334ea02a2704388d1d2fc3e4298ad/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ed/b334ea02a2704388d1d2fc3e4298ad/frameset.htm].
The only problem is, tht the user mapping doesn't seem to work...
The portal is running on a UNIX system, whereas the file share to be integrated is running on a Windows 2003 Server.
Here are the single steps that I performed:
- Creation of a KM Windows System in the system landscape directory with the ID "MySystem". User Mapping is set to "User,Admin"
- Creation of a Windows System in the system landscpe of the KM with the ID "MySystem"
- Creation of a Network Path in KM with following settings:
jCIFS Protocol is activated; Network Path = "
My Server\My Share"; User = "My Windows Domain\My User" and the according password. The specified user has administration permissions on the server.
- Creation of a readonly File System Repository Manager with following settings:
Root-Directory = "
My Server\My Share", SecurityManager = W2kSecurityManager, ACL Manager Cache = ca_rsrc_acl, Windows Landscape System = "MySystem"
- Configuration of the W2KSecurityManager: I specified the DomainFile-setting as "/etc/companydomaincontrollers.txt"
and placed such a file in the KM with following setting: "My.Server.Domain=According IP Adress"
- In UME I carried out user mapping for index_service user and placed the above mentioned admin user into the user mapping.
Result: The indexing works fine, all fles are indexed. When I however try to carry out a user mapping for a "normal" portal user in the UME it doesn't work: The portal user has no access to the file system. (I used the same admin user for mapping... so it should work).
Any help is appreciated...
P.S. With portal super admin users I can however access the fle system repository, even without user mapping. But I think this is ok, because I read in one forum message that admin users have always access in general....

Hi Frank,
thanks for your reply.
I have as well definied an Alias Name with exactly the same id. So this gives us following:
System landscape directory: KM Windows System with id="MySystem" and Alias="MySystem"
KM System Landscape: Windows System with id="MySystem"
In the created file system repository manager I also set "MySystem" for the Windows Landscape System parameter.
So I think that this should be correct (I also considered upper- and lowercase letters).
Maybe the probem lies in specifying the domain names? When I applied user mapping I always additionally specified the Windows domain name of the users, which is correct I think.
In the security manager configuration for the domain controllers (-> [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/a9/c54e9e09448d46b73d154e93d5e995/content.htm]) I however mapped the network domain of the file share server to the according IP adress. Maybe this is wrong?
