SAP - Jive Forum Version Question

Hi Everyone,
Dumb question here. We are running EP7 SP12. I downloaded and installed the SP12 version of the new Jive forum software for the portal, but I saw that they have SP13 and SP14 versions. So, here is the question. Is there any harm in downloading the SP14 version and loading that or should we stick with the SP12 version? I ask because I understand that the TREX search functions integrate with the SP14 version.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Alex,
>I was wondering what forum's setting is for the forum itself, installed out-of-the-box.
So you are asking if it is possible to configure the search inside of the forum application (Jive), right?
I'm afraid that the access to the search administration has been removed and any configuration to the search engine included into the newly integrated forums solution is not officially supported.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Jive Forum APIs

Hi,
I have installed the Oracle Discussion server (Jive Forum) of version *5.5.20 .2-oracle*, but when i used few example over http://docs.jivesoftware.com/forums/latest/documentation/web-services-developer-guide.html in my Fusion Application, I unable to create any new instance of class ServiceLocator. But the ServiceLocator API is present in 5.5.6 version. Can anyone suggest me on this.
My code is:
import com.jivesoftware.forum.webservices.ForumCategory;

import com.jivesoftware.ws.client.ServiceLocator;
public class ABC {
ServiceLocator locator = new ServiceLocator("https://abcdef.com", "admin", "abcd");
ContentService svc = locator.getContentService();
Forum forum = svc.getForum(1)
This is very urgent for me.

Hi,
Is Forums running in a cluster ? If it's the case, did you activated Tangosol (Forums administration console > System > Cache Settings) on each server node ? See the [Installation Guide|https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/012006153200000015452008E/Forums_Install_NW70_SP12upw_v6.pdf], page 11, section If you are running Forums in a clustered environment, ...

How to enable points in Jive Forums?

Hi Experts, I´m facing an strange situation. we are working with EP 7.0 SP15 and Jive Forums patch 2 for SP15. When an user makes a question in the forum and someone replays, the scree says that you have to mark this question as useful or correct for giving points to the user who answer it but....
there is no points in the user or elsewhere....how to enable them? I´ve look for it carefully in the administrator iView and the only reference I´ve found is a system property called pointConcept.disabled ; = false . I´m not sure with the value. The standard one is true but there is no points and if you change it to false, it doesn´t work either....
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.....

Hi Robert, thanks for your quick reply !!
I know that the functionality is not still available, but the problem is that in the forums delivered actually, you can see in the screens that they mention the points and also the screen says that you have to mark it as usefull or answered in order to encourage the rest of the users !!!
So the users starts asking....where are my points gone?
As I´ve said above, in the version of the forums delivered actually , you can see this messages!!!
If points are still not delivered.....how can we hide these standards screens?
Thanks in advance.....

Dynamic internal table in SAP 3.1I version

hi All,
i am new to this form and have the following question.
Currently i am working in SAP 3.1I version and i am required to create a dynamic internal table.
Basically the table name will be entered by the user on the selection screen and the dynamic internal table has to be of this type (entered by user on the selection screen).
Please let me know whether this is possible in 3.1I version and if its possible then how to achieve this.
Note: this requirement has to be done in 3.1I version hence OO concept (ie)
     cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table doesn't work here.

refer this demo code -
parameter p_table type tabname.
field-symbols <tab> type table.
field-symbols <tab1> type any.
types: begin of itab,
      t_name type tabname,
      t_ref type ref to data,
      end of itab.
data itab1 type table of itab with non-unique key t_name.
perform fetch_data using p_table.
perform print_table using p_table.
*&      Form fetch_data
      text
     -->P_P_TABLE text
FORM fetch_data USING P_TABLE1 type tabname.
data itab2 type itab.
itab2-t_name = p_table1.
create data itab2-t_ref type table of (itab2-t_name) .
assign itab2-t_ref->* to <tab>.
append itab2 to itab1.
select * from (p_table1) up to 25 rows into corresponding fields of table <tab>.
ENDFORM.                    " fetch_data
*&      Form print_table

External LDAP connection for Jive forum webcenter Discussion

Hi All,
We could successfully configure external LDAP with Webcenter Discussion forum. In turns Jive forum.
Problem we are facing : It is authenticating for display name instead of actual userid.
EX:
John Paul (display name)
[email protected] (email id)
John.paul (userid)
It is accepting John Paul as username instead of john.paul. This is issue as there can be duplicate display names.
Which parameter and where to configure to make sure Authentication is done for userid only.

I think jive is used in webcenter discussions?
You may have the wrong forum... this is for Webcenter Interaction Products.

SAP BC Forum

Hello All,
It will be very helpfull to have SAP BC forum.
We know that SAP XI will be future integration broker for all SAP systems. But they are couple of customers still working on SAP BC.
This forum will help us to convince customers to move from SAP BC to SAP XI.
Pls let me know your comments.
Regards
Ajay

hi,
BC is no longer developed
I know it will be supported for many years
but it's an old technology (works only on java 1.3)
so what sense would there be to create a separate
forum for that?
you can always ask BC questions here
as many people do with IDOC or ALE
>>>>This forum will help us to convince customers to move from SAP BC to SAP XI.
hehe no... the lack of BC forum (or any other support)
will convince them

OWC Discussions (Jive Forums) - Add custom report - anyone tried?

Has anyone out there tried to add a custom (Java) report class on the Jive Forums Admin Console's report utility? I created a custom report class and want to install it using the Admin Console. However, when I click the "Install Class" button, the error says that the "Class is not an implementation of com.jivesoftware.base.stats.Report". But my custom class extends AbstractForumReport which is a subclass of AbstractReport which implements the Report interface. I have been unsuccessful in finding anyone who has successfully accomplished this.
The version of Jive Forums that I am running is the only one available from the webcenter (10.1.3) companion cd: Jive Forums Silver (5.1.0). I don't have the time or option to upgrade to 11g.
Thank you,
Mark

Michael,
Are you using WebCenter as well to use the forum?
If so, you can set the permissions there as well.
e.g. in WebCenter Spaces, you can change the permissions of the moderator role to include the privilege of editing / deleting posts or replies per space, which gives you greater flexibility opposed to granting people the privilege in the forum app.
I'm quite sure there is a similar setting in a WebCenter Portal application, but am not 101% sure.
Kind regards,
Rob

Mail send error from Jive forum

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem:
in our portal implemented a jive forum, but we cannot send any mail from forum. The portal send mail (e.g. if I create a new collaboration room, I get the invite mail).
What should I configure to repair this bug?
Thanks for your helps

Hi Dwa,
the configuration for the email notification of the Forums can be found in the Administration console from the forums (the Forum Administrator has it).
Explanation is available in [documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/44/9ab759aa3d3ac0e10000000a155369/frameset.htm].

Oracle Jive Forum Viewer Portlet problem in Firefox

Has anyone used the Oracle-provided JIVE Forum Viewer portlet? We have built one with the personalization function enabled, so users can go to the personalize page to select the forum they want to view in the portlet.
Everything works fine now, except that the tree menu to display all the categories and forums on the personalization page does not display or respond to mouse clicks correctly in Firefox. But if you right-click in the region of the tree menu, everything will just become fine.
We wonder if anybody can help us to identify the problem and fix it. Thank you in advance!

hi Yijia
Could this possibly be a question for the "WebCenter" forum?

SAP BASIS forum

Hi!
Will be there a SAP BASIS forum topic? Now all basis guys are asking thir questions in the ABAP general, and they mostly have no answers, because the ABAPers could not help them...
There are not so many BASIS relevant questions, but this might be forum might help them a lot...
Thank you
Tamá

Specifically, I think the SAP NetWeaver Administrator forum is the one that is meant to be for "Basis" related topics.

Jive Forum change root category

Dear Experts
We are using the Forum (Jive Forum) in our Netweaver Portal. The Root category is called 'Forum Home' and the corresponding breadcrumb is: Forums. I should change those two texts but I can't find how.
The root categoy has the categoryID=1. All other categories can be modified in the Administration Panel. How can I access the Settings of the root category and change the titel?
Thanks
Christophe

Hi Lawrence
I did have a look at the Lin provided by Rajendra. But unfortunately the mentioned paths do not exist on my Server.
In the meantime I did find the path on my System:
\usr\sap\SID\Jxx\j2ee\cluster\apps\sap.com\com.sap.netweaver.coll.forums\servlet_jsp\forums\root
properties files:
\usr\sap\SID\Jxx\j2ee\cluster\apps\sap.com\com.sap.netweaver.coll.forums\servlet_jsp\forums\root\WEB-INF\classes
I could also find one of my texts (Startseite der Foren) and was able to change it even without rebooting the System as it is in the properties file: jive_forums_i18n_de.properties
But I am still struggeling with finding the other text (Titel of categoryID=1 / breadcrumb). The documentation above says that the Label can be located with its ID. Where in Firebug do I find the ID of a specific text item?
Thanks for a hint or short explenation.
BR
Christophe
