Use of Related Content

Hi,
Can any one explain me what is Related Content at Workspace--Administration--Mangedocuments and Why it is used for?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can use related content document to create link to a report in your repository, then you can use this related content document in a task list so that users can generate the report directly from there rather then browsing in the report repository. As you know, you can not link a report to a task list just like you can attach a web form or data grid. So, this is an alternative.
When you try to create a new related content document, use the resource server drop down. You will see a URL for your report repository. There you can select a resource document. If you don't see any URL in resource server drop down, contact your IT who has configured the system.
If you want to load ppt, word or excel files, use "custom document" to upload them.
Hope this helps.

Financial Reporting Related Content Link

Hi,
i developed some Financial Reporting reports using 9.3.1 version.
I've used the Related Content feature in order to obtain a link from a report to another.
The problem is due to the fact that the new report linked to the related content opens in a new different window respect to the source report.
I need to open the new report not in a new window but in a new frame (just a new tab in the worspace env.)
I want obtain the same effect that i have when i lauch a report in the workspace env. without open a different window.
Any idea of which parameters or setting needs to be manage in order to obtain this behaviour?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Stefano

Hi Stefano,
My related content opens in a new lower workspace tab on version 9.3.1. (9.3.1.0.0.248 in both IE and Firefox)
Can you give the exact version and perhaps the code, are you using the default code or inputting manually?
Here's an example of one of mine:

Help needed setting up Related Content in HCM 9.1 PeopleTools 8.51

I need some help setting up Related Content in HCM 9.1 PeopleTools 8.51.
I created a new service id in "Define Related Content Service". Its simple, it basically goes to google.com.
Then I assigned Related Content to Application Pages on the "Manage Related Content Configuration" page. I'm my scenario I added it to Careers right under the root menu.
Then I went to the careers page, but the "related information" link doesn't appear. How do I get that related information link to appears in the top of the component/page?
Thanks,
-Cory

In order to get this to function, there are some baseline server configuration requirements that you need in order for it to work.
1) Define the authentication Domain on the webserver
2) Define the authentication Domain on the web profile
3) Enable Single Sign-On
The following document in 'My Oracle Support' will provide you with the details on configuration related content services.
E-PORTAL: How To Configure Related Content Service. [ID 984855.1]
In addition here is a link to the online PeopleBooks that discusses the configuration of the related content services.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E18083_01/pt851pbr0/eng/psbooks/tprt/book.htm?File=tprt/htm/tprt20.htm#H3002
In addition, there are also some know limitations on the use of related content that are different dependent on the tools version you are using.
Hope this helps.

You can pretty much do anything with metadata, but depending on how many "N" relations are can reach limits in HTML or query strings, or Javascript for Dropdown lists or DB tables.
So planning for maximum use is needed.
If you create a metadata field xRelationToSite and put a drop down list with the list of web sites or sections you want to relate content to, then each content can be set to relate to one or many sites.
Then a new field could be created like xRelationToFolder and you can link content to different folders so that one file is outside of folders but you can make a Virtual relation to 10 or whatever folders instead of copying the same file into 10 folders.
Or you can relate content to each other by setting a metadata field xRelate to one value for all related files. xRelate is a free text field and you can put any value in there. Then you can check in any number of files and specify any text string in xRelate and bing bang boom they are all related.
That is the 1 to many relation with one value being related to multiple files via that one metadata field value. You display the list by doing something like a Library folder query to simulate a folder. (Weblayout Editor)
Then you could create a new page and or a new query in the Library page with a query that uses an AND or an OR operator (or create your own customizations if you don't like the library pages) to take the relationship to a N to N or many to many relation.
Since this is all metadata it is not so hard code limited like other options that are maybe "easier" like the Related Content Component but it is more robust since it is conceptually simpler.

FR: how passing POV parameters through Related Content

Hi,
i'm using Financial Reporting as a reporting tool for my budget application over a Planning 9.3.1 system.
My question is about the possibility to use the related content in order to pass report POV parameters.
As we know it's possibile in FR open a new report starting from the cell of a initial report throught Related Content but i ask if is possible pass the current report POV to the new one in order to obtain a kind of "drill-down effect" based on a initial user-selection.
Thank in advance.
Stefano

Hi Stefano
Yes it is possible providing that you have set up your reports correctly.
A common example would be:
Report1: Standard P&L report (Accounts in rows, Period in columns, Entity on POV) - initially run at a summary Entity level with drill link by account to
Report2: Entity in rows, Period in columns, Accounts on POV - use IDescendants(Current POV for Entity)
Effect is you start with a standard P&L report where you find an account with a variance you want to investigate (e.g. Staff Pay) click the related content link in the report and it will pass that account into the POV on the second report and expand the Entities down the row.
Hope this helps

Related Content Field Mapping using "Page Field" mapping type

In PeopleBooks it refers to a Page Field mapping type whene mapping fields from the component to it's related content.
Is this a misprint in PeopleBooks, did this feature not make it into 8.50.09 or is this option only available under certain circumstances.
I'm trying to pass a non key field from level 0 to the rel content url.
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this.
Graham

Hi Jim
Thanks for the reply.
It appears that you can't select the "Page Field" mapping type unless you have the related content specified by PAGE ratehr than component.
PBOOKS states Page Field: use when you want to map the service parameter to any level 0 page field.
In the component buffer fields in level 0 could be any page. I was hoping to pass ANY level 0 field through to the Rel Content URL for any page in this component.
Kind regards
Graham

Passing filter/POV values from WA to FR using Related Content

I have a WA document with a spreadsheet and a drop-down menu that filters values in that spreasheet. I want to create a related content link between the WA doc and a separate FR report, such that the chosen filter value is passed along and changes a related POV on the FR report. Is this possible? Also, is it possible to open a related content URL via a button or some other control, instead of clicking within a spreadsheet cell?
Appreciate all help.
thanks,
Axe

Iain,
it worked! By joined effort of you and Oracle (are you part of Oracle now?) - but mainly you - it worked.
First it didn't work. What I didn't realize that you were using smartcut in your example. I used related content's link. RC link has some paramenters after ? mark, so when I added another ? with attribute - it didn't take it. After some heated conversation with oracle where they first told me that this is impossible and then I poinetd them to this forum they gave me a hint.
I will be using RC link as it allows me to open it in PDF (smartcut opens in HTML).
Here is how my final statement looks like:
http://<servername>:19000/workspace/index.jsp?module=tools.relatedcontent&repository_path=/Formatted%20Reports/ECE%20Reports/All%20calls%20by%20employee&elementType=2&repository_name=All%20calls%20by%20employee&repository_format_id=pdf&run=1&sso_token=$SSO_TOKEN$&$CONTEXT$&rcp_version=$RCP_VERSION$&rcp_alias=$RCP_ALIAS$&mimetype=application/hyperion-reports-report&attribute=Time.id.Nov&attribute=Cost%20Center.id.2232
Thanks again!

Output from Web Analysis Related Content will not Export to Excel

I have Web Analysis reports, data in which is sourced from an EIS database. I have drill thru reports that are accessible from "Related Content". The resulting report is created fine, but cannot be exported into Excel. Specifically, I'm prompted for the location of Excel on my pc. Once I browse to it, it will open in Excel.
I have upgraded from Office 10 to Office 12, although I cannot say for certain that is when this problem started occurring.
Secondly, there are no other BI+ issues with export to Excel. For example, FR and WA export fine. The ExcelPath in the webanalysis.properties file takes care of that. I'm hoping there is something similar to update for this problem.
Thanks for reading, hopefully someone else has encountered this and successfully resolved. BI+ version is 9.3.1.

Have you tried the print button in the web analyzer it does export the input filter parameters as part of the exported PDF document.
You can include any additional text elements and use a custom export template if required.

How can I use a relative path in a Virtual Directory tag?

That is probably a bit vague, so I will explain in more detail. We are using BEA
WL Portal 7.0 and our team is developing multiple portal applications. We have
a core set of portlets (consist of JSPs) that we need to reuse in multiple portals
(Web Apps), however from a version control perspective they need to reside in
one common location. So, the solution I came up with is to use a virtual directory
for the the common directory and add this to weblogic.xml for each web app. This
works fine. However, each developer has different directory names for their project...ClearCase
view names to be specific... plus we have integration views, QA views, etc...
so we can't have any "C:\mystuff\mydomain" absolute paths anywhere in the portal
configuration. Does anyone know of a way to use a relative path for a virtual
directory? I have tried various versions of ../../ for example to try to backup
and then recurse down to the directory, but this is not working. Any ideas?
By the way this is basially just a hack for development, when we package the WAR
for QA, Prod, etc... we copy needed files and there are no virtual directories.
In other words, I don't care how "creative" solution is :)
This is what I have right now, which I need to replace with a relative directory
name:
<virtual-directory-mapping>
<local-path>C:/Projects/TouchPoint_v1.0_Fix/tp_portal/bipiportals/beaApps/portalApp/tp-shared</local-path>
<url-pattern>*</url-pattern>
</virtual-directory-mapping>

Well, in fact you can in a special case :
- The file you want to access is in the same directory than the applet (or in a sub-directory)
If this condition is OK, you can open the file using :
java.io.InputStream MyInputStream = <YourAppletClassName>.class.getResourceAsStream("sidira_interactif2.svg")
With this stream, its easy to read the file content.

Use of a content server to store attachments in SRM

Hi all,
We already have an SRM system in production storing many large attachments on table BBPCONT.
We are facing huge performance problems because:
       a) SRM holds the whole file content in memory during document upload.
       b) During the process of saving the document, SRM creates one record in VBDATA table for each row that will be stored in BBPCONT. For large files, this process of inserting data at VBDATA takes a very long runtime.
I have two questions:
   1) Anyone already handled this situation ?
   2) We are thinking about using an external content server to store attachments. My concern is related to the attachments already stored at BBPCONT. Will these documents be available to the user or it is necessary to build conversion programs to move attachments from BBPCONT to the external server ?
Best Regards,
Roberto

Hello Roberto,
1) Yes, but we anticipated this performance issue by switching to an external Content Server. I also remember one performance issue: when you are uploading an attachement in your session, the system will store it in a temporary table BBP_TRANSCONTENT (the content is not stored in memory). It will be definitively stored in BBPCONT only if the user saves the purchasing document (otherwise we pollute the final table).
2) You have to "migrate" old documents from BBPCONT to the new Content Repository (ex:Content Server). There is a report for that : RSIRPIRL.

Linking to related content from WA document

Is there anyway create a related-content link to an FR document from within a WA dashboard, without having the link placed within a grid cell? I would ideally like to use a button, but the "Open Document" services button only allows me to link to another WA document, not FR.
I'm working in WA Studio on Hyperion System 9.
Appreciate any tips.
thanks!
Axe
Edited by: axe1 on Apr 7, 2010 12:30 PM

You can use the "External Browser" service button there you have to paste the link of the FR report which can be copied from the workspace.

Related Content does not display on the name change page

Hi all,
Currently, i am doing some research for the related content. I find that delivery configuration has been on the Name Change component (self service). Then I do the security configuration but the related content option does not display on the name change component. No idea which step next i should take.
Please advise.
Any reference or docs is also welcomed.
Dennis

Hi,
What do you mean by my two nodes are all local.
Are you trying to use Related Content within one environment?
Make sure you have an authentication domain set on your webprofile and that your hosts file reflects this.
Make sure there is no proxy or firewall in the way.
Make sure Integration Broker is setup correctly.
Try pinging your server including the authentication domain.
Try looking for log files in the application server and errorLog.html in the Webserv folder.

Related Content links in the repository tables

We have 150 FR reports and many of them are using Related Content links. I am trying to find the easiest way to view all the Reports that have Related Content links and which reports they are linking to. I was trying to see about writing a sql against the tables but need to know which tables to join and what fields to select.
If anyone has a sql they have built to do similar selects or a feature in EPM that I am missing let me know.
Thanks!
Robert

Indeed, we have the same issue with our Solaris 10 containers.
None of the network interface are visible since we upgraded to Solaris 11.1.
Highly likely that we will have to fallback to 11.0

Related Content on Formula Cells

I am trying to create a report that has related content. I want to apply the related content to formula cells but that functionality is disabled on the formula cells in FR Studio. Is there a configuration or property that must be changed to get this to work?
Thanks
Ronnie

Which version are you using?
11.1.2.0 added the functionality to add Related Content links to be created in any part of a report - such as formula and text rows and columns, row and column headers, images, text boxes and even all of the cells in a grid.
