Timeout when retrieving document from Content Server

Dear experts,
after the migration of an R/3 Enterprise system with a file-based Content Server (CS without database) we experience significant delays when a document shall be retrieved from the Content Server and displayed.
The repository, from which documents are retrieved, has the following properties:
Document Area = ArchiveLink
Storage Type = HTTP content server
Obviously the delay is caused by time-outs when R/3 tries to access the content sever.
The RFC trace recorded during the document retrieval contains the following entries:
Trace file opened at 20100825 104048 CEST SAP-REL 640,0,304 RFC-VER 3
Trace file opened at 20100825 104115 CEST SAP-REL 640,0,304 RFC-VER 3

I wonder why R/3 first attempts to contact the Content Server via the SAPCMS RFC destination rather than using HTTP (SAPHTTP)? - The connection tests for both RFC connections are successful.
Is there a way to instruct R/3 to go via the SAPHTTP RFC destination as the first choice and NOT via SAPCMS when documents shall be retrieved and displayed?
Thank you,
Rainer Walter

Hi Ravindra,
thank you for looking into this problem. The Content Server is not based on SAP DB/MaxDB. The repositories are represented as plain directory structures in a file system.
My issue is that R/3 is not using the SAPHTTP RFC connection as first choice although the repository is flagged as "HTTP Content Server" but uses another RFC destination instead. When this attempt is timed out, R/3 eventually picks the appropriate RFC destination. So it takes a considerable amount of time until a requested document is finally retrieved from the repository in the Content Server.
I am confused because the system where I experience this behaviour has been built from a system copy of a production system, and the Content Server for this new system has been built from scratch. In the original production system, no timeout is found when users are retrieving documents, and obviously the original R/3 system is using SAPHTTP right away. The original production system and the new system built from a system copy are accessing different Content Servers.
I am looking for a way to instruct the new R/3 system to immediately use the SAPHTTP connection when talking to the Content Server, and I would be grateful for a hint where I can configure this to get rid of these timeouts.
Best regards,
Rainer

Retrieving Entry Point =True,Roles programatically and retrieving their URL

Hi Team,
I want to retrieve the roles whose entry point is equal to true using WebDynpro, And display their names.
When i am trying to display any role name it is displaying with underscores, like if it is content administration role it is displaying like content_admin_role.
I want it to display it just similar name which will display in portal, like content administration how can i do this?
And for each and every role i want to bring the role URL correspond to it.
I tried this and reached upto some extent but not able to open the role perfectly.
I used the below code for getting the names of the roles.
Iterator rit = null;
 try
 IWDClientUser clientUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
 IUser user = clientUser.getSAPUser();
 rit = user.getRoles(true);
 IRoleFactory rfact = UMFactory.getRoleFactory();
 while (rit.hasNext()) {
 String roleName = (String) rit.next();
 IRole role = rfact.getRole(roleName);
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Role names1..."+role.getDisplayName().toString());
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Role names2..."+role.getUniqueName().toString());
 //wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Role names3..."+rfact.getRolesOfUser(unique,true));
Also suggest me to retrieve the URL's of respective roles, and it should navigate to that perticular role when i open that URL in browser.
Thanks in advance.
Bala

Hi,
First of all you want to distinguish the pcd roles from the LDAP roles. To do that you use a IRoleSearchFilter like this:
IRoleSearchFilter searchFilter = null;
try {
searchFilter = roleFact.getRoleSearchFilter();
searchFilter.setDisplayName("*", SearchAttribute.LIKE_OPERATOR, false);
ISearchResult result = roleFact.searchRoles(searchFilter);
if (result.getState() == ISearchResult.SEARCH_RESULT_OK) {
while (result.hasNext()) {
String RoleName = (String) result.next();
IRole role = roleFact.getRole(RoleName);
You also need to check if the role is assigned to the user, so get the user's roles and compare them to the ones you got from the search result.
In order to get name correctly use:
role.getDescription();
To see if Entry Point = True you do something like this:
IPcdContext targetobject =(IPcdContext) initialContext.lookup(role.getUniqueName());
Object object = targetobject.getAttributes("").get("com.sap.portal.pcd.role.EntryPoint");
if (object instanceof IPcdAttribute) {
IPcdAttribute att = (IPcdAttribute) object;
boolean b = att.getBoolean();
To get the URL of the role you should use:
string RoleUrl = "http://<server>:<port>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://" + role.getUniqueName().substring(4);

Cannot Retrieve referenced URL in wscript file from Local System Account, but not other accounts on the computer.

Hello,
I have a WScript File that includes an external resource (js file).
It works on one computer and it does not work on another computer.
If I run this file from a normal admin command prompt everything runs fine on both computers.
If I run this file from the Local System account using PsExec it runs fine on one of the computers and throws an error "Cannot Retrieve referenced URL" on the other computer.
The reason I want it to run from the Local System account is that it is executed from a Windows Service.
Is there some setting or some way for the IE cache to get corrupt on the Local System account or something like that?

JRV,
You are by far the worst 'support' person I've ever seen. If you aren't going to be thoughtful in providing support, don't pretend. If you're going to pretend, leave your condescension on the shelf. You have provided no thoughtfulness whatsoever to his issue,
and have in no way improved the discourse. You are arrogant and condescending without exhibiting any intelligence whatsoever. I'm impressed Matt kept calm through your demeaning, counterproductive diatribes.
Matt,
First I'd check UAC settings, because I believe that can change how elevation works substantially.
Second, I would check the versions of wscript.exe on both machines, both in System32 and SysWow, and I'd check for updates bypassing WSUS to make sure there's not something silly going on there (totally a shot in the dark, catch-all theory).
Have you made any headway in the last few weeks?
-John
This is not a support forum and it is not for assistance in fixing broken configurations. It is a scripting forum. The OP proved that the issue is not the script but the environment it is running in. You should not get mad just because you are
not getting satisfaction.

How to retrieve the Conversation ID in ABAP

Does anyone know how to retrieve a conversation ID in ABAP?
You can retrieve the reference ID from SXMSPMAST but how do you retrieve the conversation ID?
Table names? FM?
ABAP not Java or UDF
All suggestions welcome.
Regards,
Nay

As I said in my question, I am not asking for how to retrieve the conversation ID in a UDF. Please read my question....
I am asking, given a specific message ID, how can I retrieve the conversation id for that message ID on the ABAP stack - e.g. with a function module, what table names etc.
thanks, Nay

Retrieve the default content access account for search through code

Hi there,
       Does anyone have the code to retrieve the default content access account (crawl account) for the MOSS search? I tried looking into Microsoft.Sharepoint.Search.Adminstration.SearchService namespace. It has a "crawlaccount" property but not sure how to initialize it.
Thanks,
Kish

try:
using Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
   using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://basesmcdev2/sites/tester1"))
                SearchContext context = SearchContext.GetContext(site);
                Content content = new Content(context);
                return content.DefaultGatheringAccount;

BI Content Datasources' ABAP Logic

Dear Friends,
Where and how can I find the BI Content Datasources' ABAP Logic. I am particularly looking for the code for 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM.
Thanks!

Hi,
Go to transaction RSO2 (Generic datasources) in ECC, put the datasource name in the transaction data field and click on display, then you will get a warning message at the bottom of the screen like below:
datasource 2lis_03_bf is extacted using function module mcex_bw_lo_api
likewise you can check for other datasources as well. Go to the function modules in SE37 and check the code there.

URL encoding in ABAP

Hi all,
do you know an ABAP function to encode a string to pass in an url so that to get "http%253A%252F%252Fsap.com%252Fxi%252FAP%252FCRM%252FGlobal"
I'm passing dynamicParameter via an URL from an ABAP to a Java WD appli. They are automatically decoded on java side, but I need to encode them on ABAP side.

Hello ehoff5,
I would be concerned too if I was not able to play my music in iTunes. It sounds like the music files may be in a location that iTunes is not expecting. I recommend reviewing the following articles to locate you music files on your computer:

URL Content Rule with SSL

Hi
I have two different ssl services on the same servers. One service is published with standard 443 port and 444 port.
I would like to balance those services with two different contents. They should have the same VIP address and the standard ssl port (443 tcp). Then, the difference between both contents would be the url.
content 1
url "//myserver.com/APL1/*"
vip address 192.168.1.1
port 443
add service service1_443
add service service2_443
content 2
url "//myserver.com/APL2/*"
vip address 192.168.1.1
port 443
add service service1_444
add service service2_444
I've tried it but it doesn't work.
Have I done anything wrong?
Regards

the main purpose of SSL is security.
So, what is security ?
Securit means you don't want other person/devices to see the content of your traffic.
If nobody can see the content, this includes the CSS.
So, the CSS is unable to see the URL which is part of the content.
Your solution can't work.
Unless you install an ssl module with the key of the server so the module can decrypt the traffic.
Regards,
Gilles.

How do i retrieve the url for external window

Hi forum
I have created a new application in my existing proj. In the existing proj i have a button on click of which i need to call the view of the new application i hv used the following code, but i dnt know how to retrieve the url for this new application.
IWDWindowInfo windowInfo =(IWDWindowInfo) wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("AgencyFee_ReportsPrinterFriendlyWindow");
 IWDWindow window = wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(url, window name, false);
Thanks & Regards
Jaspreet Kaur

Hi,
If you have an application associated this window you can create the URL as mentioned below
WDDeployableObjectPart deployableObjectPart = wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart();
 try {
 WDURLGenerator.getApplicationURL(deployableObjectPart);
 } catch (WDURLException e) {
 // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e.printStackTrace();
OR
 try {
 String url = WDURLGenerator.getApplicationURL("<deployableObjectName>", "<applicationPartName>");
 } catch (WDURLException e) {
 // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e.printStackTrace();
 IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(url , "title");
 window.show();

Retrieve ICM url

hi, is there a way to retrieve the url of an ICM cached object, if you 'lost it'.
background. activex controls are blocked in IE these days preventing then to run without user 'click to activate and use this control'. that ruins most of the interaction you can get from controls specially if the page has to be reloaded as the control will then have to be reactivated each time.
this is specific for the phtmlb:ganttChart rendering that this happens.
however there might be an easy fix. during the rendering of the control it puts the svg graphic file in the ICM cache, then renders it on the current page like this :
<embed src="/sap/bc/bsp/sap/sbspext_phtmlb/238084D3CD28DA4687A0FD58332F4374.svg" height="
 298
 px" width="
 657
 px" type="image/svg+xml" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/"></embed>
what i would do, would be to grab that svg file, put it into a js script and then embed that on my page instead. that would eliminate the click to active issue (known workaroudn that works on any type of active x control).
so ... how do i get a hold of the url that is in the ICM cache. i can se its there with the monitor, is there any way to retireve it, something that binds it to my current IE session or something.
anyone got any suggestions?

recoded the phtmlb extension to fit my needs. no need to read out the ICM path anymore.
there is another post showing how that was done.
