Running chgrp for SAP Output Files

Hi All,
Have a situation I need some help with please.
We are integrating our SAP system with another application. As part of the process, the SAP system outputs a file to the OS. By default, this file is created with user SIDadm and group sapsys. The external user, however, is not part of the sapsys group, so therefore has no access. chmod 777 on the files nor adding the external user to sapsys are options.
I need to know if anyone knows how to run the chgrp command on the files created by SIDadm so the external user can grab them. Thanks!!!!

Thanks guys. Issue resolved with a combination of running 'site umask 022' command when the file is sent to SAP, and now have a scheduled job that runs a chgrp -R appint <filepath> every 5 minites. It's not 100%, but it changes the group assignments correctly for the files, which is what we needed.
Appreciate everyone's input.
-Tim

Server/browser requirements for WebHelp output files

What are the UNIX server and browser requirements in order to
display a WebHelp project output file correctly?
When I generate the primary layout, I am not selecting 508
format, and I select Java Applet as the preferred method for the
Navigation Pane (checking the radio button for DHTML > Java
Applet > Pure HTML as the order of preference.
When viewing the help project on the UNIX server through
Mozilla, the page appears to load and reload, load and reload.
Sometims pressing Esc. stops it and you can view the TOC and
content pane. The way around this is to generate Pure HTML only,
but then the index and the glossary become very difficult to use.
Robohelp Webhelp descriptions claim to work on all platforms
and in all browser types. What requirement are we missing on our
UNIX server so the project can display correctly?
Thanks in advance for your time and trouble. :-)

Hi GEWB,
Here are some more details--
Generate Webhelp output setup:
Use lowercase filenames (recomm. for UNIX)
Toolbar buttons: Content, Index, Search
Navigation: Add breadcrumbs links
Additional options: Enable Highlight Search results, Synchronize TOC automatically
Navigation Pane preferred format: DHTML > Java Applet > Pure HTML
Optimize speed for: Web site
Q: how are you setting up your Linux to open the default project page?
A: I use Linux only to launch the webehelp output.
Q: Are you opening the GENERATED project default page or trying to open the project source files?
A: I am trying to open the generated project default page. I copy the Webhelp folder to a Linux machine and launch the index.html page to see the output.
Q: Why are you replacing the foreward-backward slash?
A: In Linux '\' is not supported for hyperlinks/filepaths. Therefore I changed the backward slashes to forward slashes.
The scenario:
When the project files have filepath such as ../../doc/xyz/,
when I view in Windows (IE)- I can access the link
when I view in Linux (FF)- I see broken link with error message somewhat like "cannot find ..\..\doc\xyz\". (Note the changed usage of slash)
This indicates that the generated files changes the forward slash to backward.

How to set PDF version for the output file in ES4

I am using LiveCycle ES4 for converting word docs to PDF. In our client we invoke createPDF method of GeneratePdfServiceClient class. We are using a custom PDF setting in LiveCycle in which we have defined configuration as per the business requirement.
We need the PDF version of the document to be set to 1.4. For this, we are setting the value for compatibility (under File Option) to Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4) in custom PDF setting template in LiveCycle adminui and in Acrobat preferences. Both these setting are not working and the resulting document has PDF version set to PDF1.5. Can you tell me how the version of resulting document be set to 1.4??

Hi Neelam,
I tried it and did the personalization as the help documentation said.
But I don't know why it doesn't work:(
I followed these steps:
1. open workbook and select a value for the variable used in query
2.click personalized variable and new window pop up then I select the value I chose and added to the selection.
3.click ok and quit
4.save workbook
but next time I open this workbook, the variable selection window still pop up.

I attached the images of the files the installer is looking for and also the /oracle/<SID>/11ginstall_11202.log
I also attached the thing i put in ENV command
Not sure if its the issue in the oracle profile or installer itself or wrong input
please help

Hi Frogoso,
Please have a check on the known issues SAP note for Oracle installation.
Section G: is related to Solaris
1431796 - Oracle 11.2.0: Troubleshooting the Software Installation
You may re-check whether all the Solaris related pre-requisites are met before executin RUNINSTALLER.
Suggestion here would be to go with latest available Oracle patch 11.2.0.4 as you are installing a new system.
Hope this helps.

Using Custom XSLT File for html output file

Hi all
I have probably rather a silly question but I have not found a solution yet.
I would like to use a custom XSLT file, which I already have and is working, within a Biztalk Map. The custom XSLT is generating a html file out of an xml file. However I'm not able to succeed so far because I have probably some issues in defining the correct
target schema.
The output that I get at the moment is just a duplicate of the input, probably because I have used the schema for source and target.
So my question is, how do I create a html file out of an xml with a custom XSLT file?
Sorry if this is a nooby question but I couldn't find an answer.

Hi Jerome,
Sorry, your question is not very clear. "I would like to use a custom XSLT file, which I already have and is working, within a BizTalk Map. The custom XSLT is generating a html file out of an xml file" - You have an XSLT which you use for map and how
its generating a HTML file? Are you using something like this?
Changing an XML Response to an HTML output using a Map
If your requirement is to output the html file from the received XML file using XSLT, then use a custom pipeline at send port like XSLT Transform Component and provide the XST which would change the XML to HTML. Here is an example of an XST which I have
used in the past, which converts the received OrderResponse XML to nicely formatted HTML.

Javascript code for setting output file name of emailed form in Livecycle

I was given a task of creating a new form with livecycle. I have no knowledge of javascripting so I am struggling with one of the things I am trying to get this form to do. The overview of this form is people around my company fill out this form then hit a button to email the completed form to me. I was able to accomplish part of this task by using the following code within an up mouse event script on a button.
oDoc = event.target;
oDoc.mailDoc({
cTo: ********@******.com,
cSubject: "IB Update Request - Instance" + IBInstance.rawValue,
This takes the form and emails it to me with the data from the field called "IBinstance" in the subject line which is what I want but the file name attached to the email is garbage. presently is says "newupdateform.pdf - Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf"
What I would like is some javascript code that I can take the data from the field called "IBinstance" and use it as the name of the file being sent in. Is there a simple code that i can put in this event to allow me to do this?
Thank you

Hi Joerg,
I have been trying to solve this as well, but gave up. I also could not get the workaround you found to work with EFM files.
If you do find a solution, please update your message to share?

1 input file to 2 output file mapping. Please help!

Hi Experts,
I have a snenario where from one input file I have to generate two output files. My sender and receiver systems are the same since I want to generate the output files in the same location. I am using both the systems same just for testing purpose.
So in IR I have created
1. one outbound interface for the input file
2. two inbound interfaces for the output files
3. one message mapping containing one input message
 transformation to two output messages.
4. one interface mapping containing one input interface
 transformation to two output interfaces.
In ID I have created
 1. one file sender channel and two receiver channels for two output files with different names.
 2. two receiver agreements
 3. one sender agreement
 4. one interface determination of type "Enhanced".
 5. one receiver determination
But when I run the scenario given one valid input file I am getting the error in the sxmb_moni : RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Cannot produce target element.
However message mapping and interface mapping works perfectly if I test it in IR with the same input file.
Can somebody help me understand what I might be doing wrong?
Have I done the configuration correctly for 1:N mapping?
Please help! I will be greatfull to you if you can help me.
Thanks
Gopal

If my input file is like this:
 <ns1:LocationMsg_MT xmlns:ns1="http://www.abc.com/Gopal">
 <Location>
 </Location>
</ns1:LocationMsg_MT >
Then my scenario is working.
But my input file will be like this:
<LocationMsg_MT>
 <Location>
 </Location>
<LocationMsg_MT >
This is giving problem.
How to handle this kind of file?
Thanks
Gopal

Creating .RTF output files - PI7.0 Receiver file adapter

Hi Experts,
I am currently facing an issue with the Receiver File adapter where in the output files are required to be of the format of .RTF (Rich Text Format).
The scenarios is an outbound proxy from SAP ABAP - > PI 7.0 -> .RTF File
All the data required to be present in the file will be coming in the source structure
Can the File Receiver Adapter handle this ?
Is there a way to generate Files with extension .rtf ??
It is a requriement since the output files will be used as Reports , and so the desired format.
I am unsure if I will have to use XSLT mapping , in this because i am new to that , Kindly let me know how to go about it ,. any links or pointers on how to achieve the same will be welcome.
thanks
Dev
Edited by: sd on Feb 17, 2010 8:23 AM

Thanks for your reponse Praveen
Can you please let me know how can i put the extension as .rtf for the output files i am generating ??
as far as the formatting is concerned ... it is like ... the header needs to be of a particular Font , a particular font size , bold etc and so is the case for line items
I am unsure if it is possible using an Adapter module as well
thanks
Dev

URGENT : Updating Saudi Payment Output File

I had created the formula for same and attached at the "Organizational Payment Method" Level, via "Further Information" in "Other" Tab.

REG: Output File Name

Hi All,
I have a file to file scenario where mapping is not used. My Input file name is "XXXX.txt" and i want the output file name as "XXXX.dat". But the problem is XXXX is not a constant value but a dynamic value and i cant use a UDF because there is no mapping for this interface. Is there any other method by which this can be achived?
Thanks,
Siva

Hi!
For your input file you can work as follows:
Put the file in a special directory and then read this directory using wildcard filename definition:
e.g. *.txt looks for and processes all files ending with *.txt
For your output file (receiver file adapter) you may work with os command "rename" and/or try it using this stuff:

Dynamic file name in case of .txt output files

Hi all,
I have a query related to dynamic file name scenario.
In case of IDOC-XI-FILE sceanrio,
Is it possible to generate .txt file name based on Plant number like
%<Plantname>%_%<BusinessDay>_filename.txt
Note:I have implemneted this for .xml output files but I am not able to implement it for .txt output files .
PLEASE HELP ME .
Regards
Prabhat

Hi Prabhat,
I think, the normal Dynamic File Name generation should work fine in your case also. Even if you perform Content Conversion, you can use Variable Name Substiution to create your Destination file name as, the name of the file is determined first and only then is the content converison perfromed.
for info on content conversion, I would suggest that you go through this thread and check my reply,

How to find Concurrent Request output file Document ID if exists

Hi,
My Concurrent Request when runs, it produces an output file.
This output file is located on the server.
Could any one let me know from which tables i could get the document id and the node id of the node where this document resides if it does in the Oracle Document Management System.
I want to do is use this in the workflows to set the attribute value using procedure
SetItemAttributeDocument
Thanks in advance,
P

On the Concurrent Requests table (FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS), the OUTFILE_NODE_NAME and OUTFILE_NAME indicate where the output file is stored. As far as I know, this is only on the server running the concurrent manager and not in the Oracle Document Manager System.
What are you trying to do with your output? If you are simply trying to provide access to it, you might be able to construct a URL similar to the standard concurrent request completed notification (basic email which provides a link to the output of the completed request).
