Time Based Publishing - Not Working

Hello SAP KM Gurus-
I had configured Time Based Publishing to work on our clustered portal. Everything worked fine until we went to a central instance / dialog set-up. Now Time Based Publishing no longer works and I can't seem to get it to work no matter what I do. I have so far: scheduled the job on only one instance (as per the clustering guidelines in SAP Library), turned it on with properties with the repository (and for the folder I wish to use) and have checked to make sure the service is okay in KM Configuration. However, it seems like the job never comes by to hide the documents b/c they just show up for Read users no matter what I change. As I stated before, this was working fine until we went to the new configuation.
I've checked SAP Notes with no luck. Anyone have any idea why this is not working? I'm fresh out.
Any help greatly appreciated...
Jim

Hello Anjali-
Thanks for your post. Yes, I have checked that. Here are my settings - I have Check Valid From assigned to one instance running on the Central Instance and Check Valid To assigned to the other instance (we have two instances on each server) as per the help docs. In component monitor, tbp is coming up green and the properties it is State-Ok. On the repositories, I have both tbp and properties assigned and when I enable tbp I can get the lifecycle tab for the documents. It appears as if everything is set up right. However, the read users can see the documents just fine when they shouldn't. It seems as if the Check Valid From and Check Valid To jobs just never run.
Is there anyway I can see if the jobs have run and what the schedule was? The tbp report also showing nothing... Does it look like I'm doing anything wrong above. I'm on EP 14/KM 14 by the way...
Thanks for your help-
Jim

Time Based Publishing not supported in WPC

Hi all,
I want to implement Time Based Publishing for some WPC resources (for example: web articles or paragraphs, ie: not for pages, but resources).
Sadly, it seems that is not allowed. There is the following note: 1310768 - Time Based Publishing not supported in WPC.
Does anyone know an alternative way to achieve this TBP behavior? I thought developing some task scheduler service, or perhaps a namespace filter.... , some help will be thanked!
Question aside: I don't understand why standard TBP is not supported, being a WPC's web article a standard KM resource. Don't you find strange?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Marcelo

In case anyone is interested, I asked SAP about it.
They said that TBP for WPC is only available to pages, and since 7.3 is the only time based publishing feature available for WPC. Beside that, they made clear the difference betweeen WPC and KMC... I supposed (wrong) that WPC was relied on KMC,
So.. I'm really stuck on this.
I'll keep this question opened in case anyone could help or maybe share an idea,
Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Marcelo

Time-based publishing stopped working

Hi,
We currently have a problem with time-based publishing in KM. Since a few days ago, documents stopped becoming visible once they reach their "valid from" date. We have not been able to publish documents with TBP since then on that system.
These errors keep appearing in the knowledgemanagement.#.log files, which seem related to this issue :

Hi,
1. Have you checked that tbl service continue assigned to your repository ?
2. If you create a new repository and assign these service, does it work ?
Enables users to define a time frame during which documents are published (visible).
Note that the time-dependent publishing service requires the application property service.
This service cannot be configured.

Hi,
I am facing issue in time based workflow. I designed a worflow with two actions. Wait action is the first action and second action is send email. For send email the from address is current user and TO is owner of the record. One thing I noticed is that its working fine when "I" triggered the workflow and assign owner as "me". Its not trigerring the mail when owner is somebody else. I can see the instance with the following error message in the workflow monitor.

File adapter - Write - Elapsed Time based batching not working.

We are creating an asynchronous BPEL process that creates a file every 2 mins with the messages the BPEL process received in the last 2 minutes. We are using a file adapter with only "elapsed time" set to 2 minutes (Number of Messages and File size disabled) . If we deploy this into BPEL console and use bpel console's stress test feature, it doesnt create any file at all. If we use a file adapter based on Number of messages, it works fine. Can any one of you suggest what could be the problem ?

Unfortunately, this is documented bahaviour (solution/workaround anyone?!):
Elapsed Time Exceeds:
Specify a time which, when exceeded, causes a new outgoing file to be created.
Note:
The Elapsed Time Exceeds batching criteria is evaluated and a new outgoing file is created, only when an invocation happens.
For example, if you specify that elapsed time exceeds 15 seconds, then the first message that is received is not written out, even after 15 seconds, as batching conditions are not valid. If a second message is received, then batching conditions become valid for the first one, and an output file is created when the elapsed time exceeds 15 seconds.

Problem in Time Based Publishing Content

Hi every1,
Im working with Time based publishing.
Using xml form builder i created 3 contents means 3 xmls.
Then i created one iView for reading the contents (KM Navigation iView) and i setup the properties like
layout set, layout set mode, root folder of contents.
After creation of iView i checked in the preview all 3 contents visible in my iView.
Now i want to show time based content in that iView.
Contents displayed as per time based
for that i enabled time based publishing and life time of particular content(xml)by using the given way
Time dependant publishing in Km. I clicked on the right hand side of the name of my folder-> go to details -> Settings -> Lifetime. there you have to enable the time dependant publishing. Then i opened the folder and click on the rt hand side of the document-> properties -> lifetime, here give the time span of the document.
After life time setup , again i seen in the iView for reading the contents (previous created) in the preview
again all 3 contents displayed including life time expired content also.
Please give me solution for this, or any more configurations required.
Note :
I required to display the contents in between time applicable only ( from time and until time).
Thanks in advaince
Vasu

I have waited more than 3 hours for settings to apply.
But i couldn't find any changes.
any other solution?
Thanks

Repository Services - Time based publishing missing

Hi,
We are running NW07, and want to configure time based publishing.
I can't find the Repository Services for this it is suppose to be under
System administratoin -> Content Management -> Repository Services
But it is not,
can anyone help?

After that, you have to define the real lifetime
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e8/a9a76828b8dc469969ff450ec81ced/frameset.htm
An keep in mind that only users with not more than read permissions will see the document only during its lifetime. Users with write additional permissions can always see it
Kind regards
Karin

Time Based publishing on taxonomy

Hi there,
we have built a news application where everyone can post it's own news items. Location of the user is a personal folder created by using a userhome filter. The folder has time based publishing activated, the lifetime can be entered in the edit form or directly on the news item through 'details'.
To display all items for all users, a taxonomy is used. However, the lifetime is ignored and all items are visible to all users.
I have activated the tbp service on the /taxonomies repository, as well as enabled 'lifetime' on my 'news' subfolder (everyone has read permissions on this one). Unfortunately, still all items are visible to all users.
Is TBP possible on a taxonomy?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
we have kind of the same scenario here.
We have a KM Folder where editors are editing news. This folder has a taxonomy to display different views on this news folder. TBP is activated in the folder.
It works like that:
Endusers only see valid news in the taxonomy folders. BUT editors are seeing even the expired ones, nevertheless that they only have Read permissions in the Taxonomy and /taxdata repository. So it seems to us that the "Full control" permission from the Source KM Folder is kind of overwriting the Read only permission in the Taxonomy. (Maybe you have the same problem)
Our solution might be that we are programming a "KM Resource List Filter" to filter out the unwanted expired news out of the taxonomy folder for the editors as well.
Cheers
Christoph

Time-based publishing in Web Page Composer

Hi,
I'm evaluating Web Page Composer (WPC) for a customer and one of the requirements is time-based publishing for web pages and navigation, but I cant find any information on that subject.
Do you know if its possible to set up time-based publishing for WPC pages?
Thanks
Martin

FYI.
I contacted SAP about time-based publishing for WPC pages and unfortunately this feature is not implemented in current versions of WPC. My request has been added to the feature request list for future versions.

Dependency between time based publishing and statemanagement?

Hi,
how it is the dependency between time based publishing and statemanagement?
thanks¡¡

Hi,
If you publish documents time-dependently, there is not normally an approval process. Time-dependent publishing can, however, be combined with an approval process.
If you want to publish both time-dependently and with an approval process, a document can only be viewed by people with read permission if it is valid and if all approval steps have been successfully completed.

Check time based publishing from Java

Hello all,
How can I check whether a resource is valid with respect to time based publishing from Java?
I had a look at the IResource JavaDoc, hoping that there would be an isTimeBasedValid() (or thereabouts) method, but there isn't.
So obviously I must simply check the valid from and valid untill properties against 'todays' date/time. The problem is that I don't know the name of these properties. I imagine that they are in the namespace 'IWcmConst.SAP_WCM_NAMESPACE' but as far as the name goes, I'm stuck. I had a look at the IWcmConst JavaDoc, since I know that other properties have constant values there, such as displayname and description etc, but I can't see constants for valid from and valid untill.
As per, any help is greatly appreciated.
Patrick.

That's because it's not part of the core API.

As far as I can tell, properties used by the TBP service should be considered an implementation detail. To obtain the information you need, you'll first have to get an instance of the currently running TBP service, and then use it's methods to obtain the dates (see <http://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/60_sp2_javadocs/km/com/sapportals/wcm/repository/service/timebasedpublish/ITimebasedPublishServiceManager.html>).

XML Forms Time-based publishing

Hi,
I'm testing an XML form that uses Time-based publishing but it isn't working correctly. The fields in the Edit form that correspond to Valid to / from are working. When I input the timestamps, they show up in the properties. I have also activated the Time Based Publishing service for this folder (it is in the documents repository). I have created two forms, one that should be published and one that shouldn't. When I test the iview with my administrative user, both appear (this is the expected behavior)
When I log in with a user who only has Read permissions on that folder, I can't see any content. I've tried different combinations of dates for the elements but nothing seems to be getting through. I've also waited for the 15 minutes that the guide establishes for the content to appear but nothing shows up. What could be the problem?
Thanks for your help,
Luis

hi
There are Valid to & Valid from properties in the data model section of the XML Forms Builder. Would imagine you could play around with these as a starting point.
when creating the XML Form, you can drag and drop the KM Properties "Valid From" and "Valid Until" from the left pane "Data Model" -> "Properties" -> "Lifetime" on your form. activate the tbp (time-based publishing) service on the used repository and also to "Enable Time-Dependent Publishing" on every folder where you want to use the forms (from the folder menu "Details" -> "Settings" -> "Lifetime".pèleas also go through this

XML form Time based Publishing

Hi Everyone
I added the valid until and valid from properties to the XML form and activated the time dependent publishing for the folder where this form is displayed. My problem is that it is not taking the time that I enter in the XML form fields but considering the time only if I go to the details tab of that particular doc and set up the lifetime. I want to set this up in the edit form of the XML form. Can somebody please tell me if I am missing something.
Thanks

My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi

Following a question solved on March 24 by LaPastenague, but gone bad again.
Apple AirPort Time Capsule
I felt the need for a physical backup of my data, as I would not completely trust the different clouds. I use, and have used Dropbox for 4-5 years and are very satisfied with that, but I am still not sure if or when a political lunatic will shut off the internet.
I purchased the Apple AP Time Capsule 2T, because all my other stuff are Apple, and that it's wireless. My old backup is Maxtor 300 GB.
Since we stay 2-3 weeks on two locations, one in Norway and one in Sweden (two different countries) we must use Mobile Broadband 4G, cables or fibre connections are useless for us, and we don't have it up to the houses. I have one mini router for each country, we bring with us iPhones, iPads, iMac, Apple TV, APExpress. When we pass the boarder I change the mini router, and the system continues working perfect on the WiFi, except the APExpress that needs to be reconfigured, but then it works.
The APTC was difficult to make working as it would not accept to be in an existing network, but with good help from the Apple Community, LaPastenague, with forcing the TC connect to the APE with Ethernet cable in bridge mode, ref "My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi" from March 24, the problem was solved and all gadgets worked together in a perfect harmony, until we changed location.
Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
I have a slight feeling that the two WiFi bands are making the trouble as during the configuration of the TC sometime the last figure 6 and 7 pops up, and that has something two do with the two different 2,4 and 5 GHZ bands
So, I am curious if you have any idea ?
I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?

I can deal with the last question first and easily.
I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?
Open the airport utility .. go to the disk tab and select erase.
When you select erase you will get mulitiple options.
Quick removes the file table but does not delete the files,, it takes 2min or less.
A Zero out data is the secure way,, by writing 0 ie low level drive format.
It can take several hours..
7 pass will take a week.. not recommended..
35 pass erase is ridiculous.. it would take a month.. put an ax through the TC. It is quick and better.
Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
The fact that it did work and has now failed might point to faulty unit.
The only way to tell is reset it properly to factory and start over.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Generally having multiple wireless AP should not cause problems.. but it is better to set channels manually.. so it doesn't go beserk rotating channels.
Remember to keep all names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Sadly though the Apple routers have no logging now and no SNMP and almost nothing to help diagnose a problem, so if it continues .. take it back to apple.. they have given you no other method of fixing it.
