Retrieving files stored in KM

Hi all,
I have a requirement to put BI webreports on the Portal (Knowledge Management section) using the Information Broadcaster (part of BI70/nw2004s).
Then an external application wants to fetch these reports (html files, gifs etc) and ftp them to an external webserver.
Is it possible to access the files in KM and if so, how? Is it just a DB/file directory structure in which all KM contents is stored? How can it be accessed?
Many thanks for your help!
Points will be rewarded!

Hi Marco - it sounds like you understand the Info Broadcaster part of this, and you'd now like to know how to access the files that are in KM from some external app, is that right?
Frank mentions WebDAV, this is a possibility if your app is WebDAV-capable. In that case, the URL to access the docs would be something like
http://<server>:<port>/irj/go/km/docs/path/to/document/in/km.txt
where /path/to/document/in/km.txt is the actual path where you broadcast to.
Or, you can go to Service Marketplace (http://service.sap.com/swdc) and download the Portal Drive, which will map these WebDAV folders to local drives on your Windows machine.
Finally, if you set up a new repository manager and use FSDB mode <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/62/468698a8e611d5993600508b6b8b11/frameset.htm">as outlined here</a>. This will make KM store the content and folder structure of your files in an existing file system, where you can pick them up with your application.
By default there isn't one of these, so you'll have to set a new one up. The "/documents" repository puts everything into the database.

RETRIEVE OF ETXT FILE STORED IN BLOB

Hi,
I have a question on utl file. I wrote some text in an utl file (text file) and stored it as blob in data base at back end while my team mate has to retrieve the data stored in blob in front end using java. when he retrieves, the file which i stored as blob is retrieved as html file not as text file i stored initially . when we retrieve a file stored as blob, how a blob file will be retrieved..is it depends on front end programmer or is there any format where a file stored as blob will be retrieved only on that format? Kindly give your expertise on this question

As Billy said, the passing through correct mime type is the only reliable way. If you have already loaded tons of blobs without providing this information, you may try a small workaround to determine the right mime type for your files by emulating the file utility behaviour in the database - you have to load the /etc/mime-magic or something similar for your os into the database and then compare certain bytes of your lobs with those recorded in the mime-magic file. An example how it can be done is here
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-9592_11-5219073.html
You could so complete the missing information in the database without to unload your data , but you should be aware - this can not replace the need to provide right mime type information by loading into database.

How to view all files stored in iCloud

How do I view all my files stored on iCloud?
I purchased additional iCloud memory space , backed up my iPhone then deleted videos from my iPhone to free up space.
Now I would like to retrieve a home video. Where/how do I see what's saved in my iCloud account?

You can't use iCloud to free up space on your phone like that. Videos are only stored in the iCloud backup, and can only be accessed by restoring the backup to your phone. However, if you delete the videos from your phone and continue to back up, the backup containing the deleted videos will be overwritten by one that doesn't and they will be lost. Hopefully haven't backed up your phone since you deleted these videos. If not, restore the backup to your phone to recover them.
In the future, import your camera roll photos and videos to you computer using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Then you can delete them from your phone and sync them back later if you ever want to.

Oracle reports to display PDF/Excel files stored in the Database

can we use Oracle reports to view/display PDF/Excel files stored in the Database? Thanks Lalitha

A document stored in the database can be easily retrieved in or via the browser using mod_plsql. Simplified:
select content, mime_type
into v_blob, v_mime_type
from ...
owa_util.mime_header(nvl(v_mimetype,'application/octet'),false);
htp.p('Content-length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(v_blob));
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(v_blob);So, the link in your report should point to this database procedure.

Diaplay Word file stored in blob into a browser using JSP

Dear All
I have files stored in oracle table in a blob field.I store the files using forms 10g and webutil. I can upload the files and display them successfully in forms, however when i use JSP to retrieve the files and display them in Internet Explorer, I'm able to display the pdf files, bmp , jpg and video but I'm getting junk characters when I try displaying (word , excel , access or powerpoint files which might contain arabic Characters )
the code I use to display the files is as follows :
<%
try
Connection conn = null;
String username=session.getAttribute("username").toString().toUpperCase();
String password=session.getAttribute("password").toString().toUpperCase();
String ip = "*****************";
String sid = "***************";
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@"+ip+":1521:"+sid,username,password);
String par = request.getParameter("LETTER");
String par1 = request.getParameter("SERIAL");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from TableName where PK1 like '"+par+"'"+" and PK2 like '"+par1+"'" );
if (rs.next())
Blob pic = null;
byte[] blobBytesArray = null;
OutputStream stream = response.getOutputStream();
pic = rs.getBlob("BLOBFIELD");
int len = new Integer( new Long( pic.length()).toString() ).intValue();
blobBytesArray = pic.getBytes(1,len);
if (blobBytesArray != null)
if (blobBytesArray.length > 0 )
stream.write(blobBytesArray) ;
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("Exception: " + e.getMessage() + "<BR>");
%>
can you please guide me of how to display other file types.
Best Regards.

Hello,
Ideally when you store the document put the content-type in a column and set the content type in your JSP. This will indicate to the browser what is the type of file and you should not have any issue with any type.

Whats is the easiest way to store and retrieve files using a DB?

Hello,
I have a web application where my users need to upload and retrieve files(.doc, .ppt. excel). I want to store them in the database instead of on the server. Anyone have any ideas on the easiest way to do this?
Thanks,
Danny

Well, there's a BFILE data type-- that allows you to store essentially a pointer to a file in the database, though the file itself would be stored externally.
A better option would be to store the data either as interMedia Text or as a B/CLOB, so all the data from the file would be stored in the file. interMedia Text gives a number of benefits if you're going to be working with the data-- i.e. searching the data, etc, but the additional work & restrictions may not be worth it if you just want to get the data in and out of the database whole.

HT1660 when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retireved?

when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retrieved?

The file is just left where it was when it was connected to the library. Typically:
<User>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/<Artist>/<Album>/## <Name>.<Ext>
If you want to add it back just drag it into iTunes. If you want to cull the files you kept previously add the entire iTunes Media folder back into iTunes (or use one of Doug's scripts that has the same effect), then delete (and don't keep) the recent additions.
Note that warning/prompt is only issued when the files you are removing are located inside the designated iTunes Media folder.

I downloaded a word file from an inbox mail (the mail app) onto my iPad2, where is this file stored? How can I delete it if it takes up space in my iPad? Any ideas??

I downloaded a word file from an inbox mail (the mail app) onto my iPad, where is this file stored? How can I delete it if it takes up space in my iPad? Any ideas??

Did you ever figure out what happened?
I had the same experience as you did, but in my case it was a big fat pdf that Mail insisted I had to download before I could view it. As happened with you, I saw the file actually downloading, and after a time I was able to view the pdf. It's been my assumption that the pdf is still somewhere on my iPad, but I have no idea where, nor how to delete it if it is still there.
Thanks.

Opening pdf files stored on server

Hi
We have an application in which we display pdf files stored on the server.
Pdf files opens in a new browser.
User selects the invoice number from a list and based on the invoice selected, we get a pdf file from R/3 system. This file is stored in a particular folder on the server. We extract this file from the folder to show it to the user in a separate browser.
This functionality works fine in the development system but not in test system.
We have recently installed our test system and have done all required settings in config tool.
Config Tool --> Display configuration --> HttpHttps --> Root and Alias folder.
But despite this the functionality is not working.
Is there some other setting that I have missed.
Unfortunately these settings were done in the dev system by someone else and I do not have a document for it.
Can anyone help me please.
This is very urgent for me as we are plannning to migrate our production system as well. I may face the same problem over there as well.
Regards
Vineet

Hi,
We have the same requirement at our client end. Could you please guide me for the same?

How can i display a pdf file stored in my KM from webdynpro link ?

Hi experts,
i try to open my pdf file stored in km, in the same window of my webdynpro java who has the fire link ?
i user tow iviews with inBound and outBound plug, the first one has the fire link and the seconde an iframe witch i set source parameter to my km link where my PDF is stored. Unfortunately, the iFrame don't work correctly, and my PDF is not be displayed
Can you give some advices ?

Hi
Recently in my project I came across a scenario where my Web Dynpro Project had to pick the image from KM. The images to be displayed will be placed in KM. This will avoid loading the images into the Web DynPro project. More over when you have KM installed on your EP server, one can use it for storing backend data and resources. The KM Admin will be undertaking this task of uploading the images to predefined folder structures. Through the application path to the image will be provided dynamically giving you the flexibility to decide which image to be displayed according to the business logic.

HT201250 I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?

I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them? No, they were not part of previous Time Machine backups, and I have checked both the hard drive the documents were lost on and the new one that I now use for backups. Any suggestions would be helpful, as the lost files are old pictures that are gone forever. :[ Thanks!

1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.

How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

Get a free app called MPEG Streamclip.
Available here.
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
Drag your clip or clips into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to export the clips in Apple Intermediate Codec.
Sometimes, MPEG2 clips also require that you install the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. This is available from Apple for $20.

I can no longer see the files stored in my 160 ipod

I had 42 gigas in files. I was trying to copy one of those files from the ipod to my laptop and suddenly it frozes. I had to restart the laptop. When i open the ipod to se the files stored, i was no longer abble to see the files, eventhoug when i see the memory ocuppied in the ipod, is still there, but i can access to them. The music still works perfect. I had a couple of smaller files, like 1Giga and they still there and I can access to them perfectly. But the problem is in the file with the 42 Gigas.

Check your iPod's hard drive for errors. Open My Computer, right-click the drive, Click Properties, Tools, Check Now..., Select Options, Start.
Some of your missing files/folders may be restored although their names may be lost. 4gb is the max. file size on FAT32 so are we talking a 42gb folder rather than a single file?
