Transport Collaboration Room Template - Mappings without CTS

I need to transport a custom C-Room Template with some custom mappings. Can this be done without using the CTS Transport method?
We do not have CTS configured on our Portal. EP 7.0
Thanks,

Template was rebuilt manually.

Differents Email Notifications for each Collaboration Room Template

Dear all,
I have two collaboration room templates. I want to know if I can have one Email (Notification) template for Room Template 1 and a second Email (Notification) template for Room Template 2.
Example:
For Room Template 1 --- > Invitation Email 1.
For Room Template 2 --- > Invitation Email 2.
Cheers,
Andres.

Without knowing more about your customizations it's not possible to give you an exact answer. However, the way that I do this is by modifying the underlying workflow.
I usually do something like this:
<Action id='0' process='TaskDefinition-Notification-Process'>
    <Argument name='template' value="mytemplate"/>
    <Argument name='to' value='$(toAddr)'/>
    <Argument name='cc' value='$(ccAddr)'/>
    <Argument name='from' value='%%FROM_ADDRESS%%'/>
    <Return from="notificationException" to="notificationException"/>
</Action>Note the toAddr variable, the ccAddr variable and the single template. You can either build it as one big list of email address and send it out once or use the standard workflow looping techniques and loop over the sub process over and over.
As with anything Sun IDM, there's a thousand ways to do to this, including hooking into a the viewOptions.process variable to define your own workflow where this can be done.
Anyway, that's how I solved it.

Hi Ravindrakvs,
cRoom templates are defined in portal.
Check with your portal team. They can provide you the path and details of cRoom templates.

Collaboration Room Template Rebuild Failure

I was trying to rebuild a room template by using the same name. So what I did was that I duplicated the old one and gave it a unique name and deleted the old one. Then I tried to create a new template using the same name as the one I just deleted. It didn't let me move to the next step and gave an error message saying no valid name specified. The old template is gone no longer to be found nowhere not even in the backend. Any advice. Thanks

I was able to Delete the Room Template and create a new one with the same Name as the Room Template deleted before.
Steps:
1. Delete Room Template
2. Go to PCD Inspector
3. In PCD Inspector Navigate to Portal Content > com.sap.ip.collaboration > RoomTemplateVersion
4. Delete the Folder of the Template you just deleted
5. Create a new Template with the Name of the Room Template created before
It should work fine. I've done it twice.
Point's appreciated

Collaboration Room Template problem with Roominformation iView

Hello all,
I'm trying to make a custom collab room template, but I'm having troubles with the Roominformation iView. It always gives me an error
<i>Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing your request
Exception id: 11:28_30/10/07_0005_2777350
See the details for the exception ID in the log file.</i>
What I've done is copied the Room information extended iView , paste it in a page, assigned that page to a the collabroom workset.
Is there perhaps some configuration I have forgotten ? If so, where do I have to do the configuration ?
Thank you in advance !
Abjuh

Okay, found the problem. It was indeed some configuration that I've forgot.
com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomInformationExtended
iView property com_sap_netweaver_coll_information_roomid = room_id (=parameter)

Problem at 'Extension Stores' of Sessions in Collaboration room template

Hi, ALL:
I make a change on 'Persistence Mode' of 'Session' from DB to FSDB. But, after create a test session to validate setting properly or not. Session record still save in the original KM folder (root\sessiondata), not in the specific folder. I apply the same setting to the other item (Documents, News) on the duplicated template (duplicate from build-in template SAP_Project_Template_2), I can see the file on the folder.
Any advice would be very appreciated.

Transfer collaboration rooms with all content

Have seen the link
Collaboration Room Transport
Are there any known issues in this?
Have anyone done this and what all issues can be taken care of.
Please update..

Hi Suneel,
you can only transport collaboration room templates, unfortunately not the existing rooms :-(!!!!!!!

Mappings In Room Template Administration

I have created a new Collaboration room template based on duplicating the existing Meeting_Room_Extended template via Room template administration. I have added the additional page of Documents (via the PCD). When I run the VALIDATE function on my new meeting room template I get informational messages saying that I don't have mappings.
Here are a sample of the warnings:
No mappings provided for iView com.sap.netweaver.coll.documents_2_level on page com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomDocuments
Define the mappings required for the iView in the template
No mappings provided for iView com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomInformationExtended on page com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomDocuments
Define the mappings required for the iView in the template
I know where I need to enter the mappings on the template administration, however, I don't understand the underlying purpose behind the mappings. Can someone please give me an explanation of what the purpose of the mappings is?
Thanks
Angie.
PS: I am running NW2004s (EP7) with SP9.

Hi Angie,
have a look at this presentation from SAP NetWeaver Product Management:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c0bf27c0-1c2e-2a10-80a2-bd78bf6c89c7
I believe that it explains pretty well the concept behind the Room Extension Mappings.
Let me know if you have further questions,
Robert

Collaboration Room Mappings

I'm in a bit over my head, I've been charged with setting up collaboration room templates. I've been through the EP300 information regarding rooms. Unfortunately I've not had much luck with the mappings. I understand in theory how they are supposed to work, but I'm unable to find solid examples of what the mappings actually mean and how they are used. Both in the 300 coursework and in searching service and sdn.
Is there a good source for information on Mappings and what mappings are required for RoomTasks, DocumentsandLinksTeam, etc?

Hi Chris,
See, mapping is done for configuring the pages u have added in your workset, i.e as they are linked to each other, so mapping is the physical way to provide the path for them.
For doing mapping u need to compare the mapping of your new template with the standard and then u need to create the extensions for that.
And about ur answer mapping is always required when u are creating a new template but when u are duplicating the original template that time u don't need to do mapping as it will take the original mapping by default.
Best Regards
Shashank Saxena
I hope if u got the answer for ur post then plz reward with points which is at the left side of ur page. thanks

Help: Collaboration Room Bugs/Issues

Hi,
I have created my own collaboration room template by duplicating the standard Information Site template.
However, i am facing a few issues related to collaboration room creation, which might be standard features/bugs in collaboration room.
1. When i create a new Room, all the users of that room (members as well as administrators) get full access to room documents, headers, news, Faqs etc.
The permissions started working fine when i changed permissions in KM Content --> Room_Extensions.
All the existing rooms showed the correct permissions.
However, whenever i create a new room, every user gets full permissions to all the parts of the room.
This is despite the fact that i have removed all the users from full permissions to the room_extensions folder in KM and reset the child permissions.
2. I have attached the iView com.sap.ip.collaboration/TemplateContent/Homer/iViews/ com.sap.netweaver.coll.RoomMemberList (Team Members iView)to my room template.
When i create a new room based on my template, i do not get the users specific to a particular room.
What i get in the Team members list is all the users listed in the Contacts list in Collaboration Launch Pad.
3. When i try to preview some of the iViews stored in com.sap.ip.collaboration/TemplateContent/Homer, i get an exception. On attaching these iViews to the Collaboration Rooms, i get a message stating "Invalid Item ID" index.xml.
I get the same message even after attaching these iViews to a collaboration room template and creating a room based on the template.
Any help regarding these issues would be highly appreciated. Full points for helping me with these issues.
Regards,
Vibhu

Hi Vibhu,
here my comments:
1) These are the standard settings (every room member gets full access) for the permissions of KM content created during a Room creation. Since KM can't distinguish between the room roles, we can't set 'better/stronger' permissions. You can only set manually permissions on concrete users.
2) It seems that you have not set the mappings for this iView. For the RoomMemberList you need the following settings:
StartURI        room_rootrolegroup_rid
path            room_rootrolegroup_rid
roomrid         roomid
in the documentation you find more mappings for iViews delivered by SAP, which You have to set in the templates.
Please see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3f/fcfe06fd7f1321e10000000a114cbd/content.htm for more information.
3) That's possible since some of the iViews needs certain iView-Parameters set to work properly. Please check if this iView needs some mappings under the link in the documentation under 2)
4) Up to now we are treating groups as you described. We are working on a solution where we work with groups as room members and we don't resolve the members of the invited/added group.

Room Template Changes not reflecting

Hi,
I have a Collaboration room template called Community. In that I have the Quick Poll Maintenance iview. I was getting the following error while creating a quick poll. When I try to add an image to a response in the quick poll, it gave me portal error. This was happening only inside the Collaboration room and not outside. Then I changed the mapping of the property PathToImages for the iview in the template to private_docs_path and saved the template.
Now the error does not come in the new rooms that I create with this template. But the old rooms are still having the problem. Any idea why?
Alos, for my old room the template is being displayed as Community_&VER&22 and for new rooms is Community_&VER&28. Is there any way to synchronize the the template versions?
Regards
Ranjith

Hi,
which version of the portal are you using?
Starting with NW04 SPS 17 / NW04s SPS8, you can transfer changes from the template to existing rooms. Before these releases, this is not possible. Please have a look at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/44/168eb1c3641a75e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm

Modifying existing Coll. Room Template

Dear KM friends,
I have created a Collaboration Room Template.
But i need to changes in Pages layout, iView settings, even i need to add new pages and delete.
can anybody tell me, How to modify the existing Collaboration Room Template??
Please reply me
thanx in advance
Kantha

Hi,
As per the doc...
Each template contains technical attributes and settings for the rooms or room parts that are created based on the template. In the portal, the templates are stored as Collaboration content.
You maintain templates in room template administration or in room part template administration.
In the template, you define the room or room part structure by assigning a workset to the template (see Maintaining Worksets for Templates). The following special points apply to this assignment:
· You can use one workset as the basis for more than one template, which are differentiated by their external parameters, for example.
When you create a template, the system copies the workset assigned and assigns this copy exclusively to the template. Changes to a workset that is already assigned to a template are made only to this template.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/44/f99140c2eab118e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
You can simply delete or add or modify the pages to the workset in the templete.

Collaboration Rooms and Document Uploads from Network

Hi,
We are starting to use Collaboration Rooms and would like the Documents iview to point to our network file system, so when a user uploads a file he can do it via the portal or our network drive. We are using FSR's elsewhere and are wondering how to incorporate it into a collab room document iview. Our portal environment is NW04 Stack 12.
Any assistance would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Kris

Hi Kris,
what you need to do is to create a collaboration room template that would integrate a KM Navigation iView that points to the file share. Of course, first you need to integrate the share via repository manager in KM.
I hope you know how to integrate the share into KM. For more on how to create a room template check the info in this thread:
Collaboration Room Creation error on NW04 SP9
Hope this helps,
Robert
