Using BC as a directory?

Hello,
I'm considering using BC for a community based website which will likley also have a
directory listing with search facility.
Does anyone know if directory listing and search is easily done in BC or even possible?
Would an alternative like joomla be a better choice of CMS.
Any insight would be good thanks.

Hi,
Yes, you'll build your directory/listing using "web apps". - http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/topics.html#dynamicpod_reference_10
Hope this helps!

How do I use a specific host directory in the ftp setup?

I am reestablishing links in CS4 to my websites after an upgrade from Vista to 7.
I use Go Daddy and the subdirectory capability. I had a difficult time setting up the ftp connection and saw in another posting that the Host directory should be left blank. This indeed worked. The problem is that I want to control access of different designers to different websites that are contained in one hosting account. When I use the correct Host directory in the Site Definition dialogue box as I did with my setup on Vista, I get the error message:
"An FTP error occurred - cannot open remote folder [FileName]/. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem."
However, the file does exist. I have tried various uses of forward slashes, in front, in back, and both, without success. I'm sure there is an answer.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

Can you verify that your user account has access to those other accounts? Is this a reseller account where you have accounts under your own or is this a dedicated box or VPS where the accounts can be in different directories? Is this a Windows or Linux box
There's a few things that could be going on, but if it ends up being a permission issue Godaddy will be the only ones who can help with that. But just an example of a path on a Unix/Linux environment, "public_html/". There is no leading slash but there is a trailing slash in the path. If you are connecting to a Windows server it could be slightly different, but my only experience with Windows is in a networked/VPN environment so if that is your case I am sure someone else here can help you out.

CDIR is a DDIC structure used in the IMPORT DIRECTORY

CDIR is a DDIC structure used in the IMPORT DIRECTORY statementmy question is is it usqable for all cluster databases we make indeoendently apart from INDX or just for INDX

I have no real details, but based on your question I am guessing Thunderbird does not check the drive letter only the path. so H:\Stuff and G:\Stuff would be the same thing. Try a change to the actual folder names.

EPM Provisioning when using an external user directory

I intend to use an external user directory, probably MSAD.
Now from what I understand provisioning is done within native directory. How do I get the users which exist in the external user directory to show up in native directory OR how do I go about provisioning users who exist in the external user directory?

I did see that link, and while I understand what needs to be done to configure the external user directory, my confusion is this:
Once the external user directory is configured, I will see the users in shared services under the section "OID" or "MSAD" in user directories. That is fine. Now I want to provision and start assigning hyperion roles such as administrator, planner etc to the users. As per the documentation, only users in native directory can be assigned provisioning. However, I seem to be able to right click on a user under MSAD and provision it.
So my confusion is, it seems that I can provision users listed under the external directory. So why does documentation say provisioning is done to users in Native directory. If that is indeed the case, then how do I get users in external directory into Native directory within Shared Services?

SAPCL Having more than one DB2 use the same trace directory.

Hello,
Looking at the DBACOCKPIT SAP Collector settings panel, we have all of the DB2 subsystems that run in a given LPAR use the same trace directory. (HFS path of trace directory.)
In our case, that directory is /usr/sap/saposcol/traces. This means that we have trace files called db2cl* from all of our alert routers running on an LPAR in the same directory. It is a little confusing, but we can handle it. The question I have is that there is a cmds.alr file in that same directory. The contents of that file seem to change occasionally. At times throughout the day, the file seems to be contain information related to the five alert routers using that trace directory. Is it OK for the contents of this file to change?
Another question I have is related to the sapcl file that is in this directory. The timestamp on this file seems to change periodically. Sometimes the file size changes. Note 958252, the SAPCL FAQ says "The trace directory is required to save errors or trace files and to start the alert router. To start the alert router, the system loads the executable SAPCL from the database, saves it temporarily in the trace directory and starts it in USS."
With 5 alert routers, sharing the same trace directory, you could end up with 5 sapcl executables that get changed around based on what a particular alert router needs.
Would it be better to point each alert router to a different trace directory?
Thanks,
Ron Foster

Hello,
There are two configuration parameters in transaction DBACOCKPIT -> u201CSAP Collector Settingsu201D to determine the SAPCL directories.
HFS path of collector:
This is the directory, where the files u201CDBRM.db2cldbu201D and u201Csapdb2clu201D are located. The two files are used during installation of SAPCL and u201Ccopiedu201D into two targets:
A) Linked into DB2 Load library to be used as the stored procedure SAPCL.
B) Stored into a database table to be used as Alert Router.
This directory is accessed during installation only. Not during runtime.
HFS path of trace directory:
This is the directory, where trace files are stored of the stored procedure SAPCL and the Alert Router. In addition, this is used during startup of the Alert Router. Startup of the Alert Router is done by the following steps:
1. Unload the Alert Router executable out of the database table into the file u201Csapclu201D.
2. Creating the Alert Router parameter file u201Ccmds.alru201D. E.g. it contains the SSID.
3. The executable sapcl is started and the name of the Alert Router parameter file is used as the input parameter of sapcl to determine the behavior. E g. /u/sapr3/s12run/trace/sapcl /u/sapr3/s12run/trace/cmds.alr
To keep the input parameters files separate for each SSID, it is recommended to have a trace directory for each SSID. It is also recommended to have a trace directory for each DB2 member of a data sharing group. However, this is just a recommendation. Every time, an Alert Router is stared, the files u201Csapclu201D and u201Ccmds.alru201D are recreated and overwrite the existing files. After startup of the Alert Router, the two files are no more used.
In the case, where you are using different patch levels or versions of SAPCL and you are using the same trace directory for all SSIDs, it is very likely, that you see different sizes of the file u201Csapclu201D. This is because different patch levels or versions of SAPCL have different sizes and you always see the file size of the most recent stared Alert Router.
In case, that two Alert Routers are stared at the exactly same time, it could end up in problems.
Here is an example of the contents of cmds.alr of a two way data sharing group with the SSIDs SGC1 and SGC2 with a shred directory /u/sapr3/jotrun:
ssid=SGC1 sqlid=SAPJOT planname=CSAPCL FKTID=13 ACE=0 DBTRACE=0 TRACE=0 TRCDIR=/u/sapr3/jotrun/traceSGC1 GUID=4D0685A211780174E10080000A11C971
ssid=SGC2 sqlid=SAPJOT planname=CSAPCL FKTID=13 ACE=0 DBTRACE=0 TRACE=0 TRCDIR=/u/sapr3/jotrun/traceSCG2 GUID=4D0685C411780174E10080000A11C971
You can see, that almost all parameters are the same, except u201Cssidu201D and u201CTRCDIRu201D. TRCDIR come from the SAP Collector Settings parameter u201CHFS path of trace directoryu201D. Please note that there is not slash between u201Ctraceu201D and u201CSGCu201D. The directory name is u201CtraceSGC1u201D and u201CtraceSGC2u201D.

Configure WebSphere Portal Server to use LDAP (Oracle Internet Directory)

I did configuration for WebSphere Portal to use security with LDAP Oracle Internet Directory (OID). The script for configuring works well (WPSConfig.bat action-secure-portal-ldap)
But when i start Portal Server it cannot start successfully. I did check in log file and found a error on SystemOut.log as attachment log below. I don't know what happen with WebSphere Portal Server.
If you guys know how to fix it please let me know or point me some documents to configure this again.
Thanks in advanced.

There is no clear documentation available to enable custom security but IBM info center has decent documentation for LDAP based security. I would say follow the steps mentioned for IBM directory and then modify the necessary configuration parameters for OID. This should solve your issues. For better help open a PMR with IBM to get necessary quick help.

Use of AppSet virtual directory in BPC70MS

We are running OutlookSoft CPM 4.2 and using appset virtual directory directly.
The appset virtual directory is created by default in OutlookSoft CPM 4.2.
For example:
- Open input schedule through the virtual directory by Workbook.Add method from another input schedule.
- Save some kinds of data through the virtual directory by Workbook.SaveAs method.
However, there is no appset virtual directory in BPC 7.0 MS by default.
Therefore we have created the virtual directory by hand.
It seems that the virtual directory works fine when the client is Windows XP.
But there is a problem when the client is Windows Vista.
When we access the input schedule directly from the virtual directory,
the authentication dialog box appears for the first time in the Excel session.
We would like to omit the authentication dialog box because it is annoying for users.
Does anyone have some idea to solve this problem?

Using a virtual directory outside of osoft that's means you are not longer into SAP BPC.
So the authentication in that case it pure IIS authentication.
IIS authentication is Intergrated Windows authentication (using windows credential for login) or Basic authentication.
You are using IE for connection to IIS which means you have also security setttings from IE.
For example you have the setting for security that "prompt always user name and pwd" into IE.
Tools- Internet Option- Security
Click what kind of site it is your site: Intranet, or trusted site or Internet. and after that click to Custom Level and go to User Authentication.
If there is prompt user name and pwd then for sure every time when you will access any site (from coresponding group. Internet, Intranet or trusted sites) you will be always asked to input user name and pwd.
So first level of authentication for BPC is IE and IIS authetntication. In your case you don't pass this level of authetication.
I hope this will help.
Again it is not a good practice to have virtual directory outside of OSOFT. When you will do a transport into other enviroment it will represent again an issue.

FTPs connection error:When using Variable substitution for Directory path

Hi
I am transferring data from BI to xml file via PI: Here a Client proxy from BI sends the data to PI and the PI FTPs the XML file to a remote location. For FTP I am using FTPs SSL connection.
It was working fine untill I used Variable susbstitution to determine Directory path dynamically. I am using this because different xml files are intended to goto the different locations.
I did the variable substitution like this:
Target Message Structure:
---> Target Directory: %var1%
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<MT_BI_EXTRACT_FILE>
<Header>
<Directory>/Customer</Directory>
</Header>
<Detail>
</Detail>
</MT_BI_EXTRACT_FILE>
And in the variable substitution I am doing it this way
payload:MT_BI_EXTRACT_FILE,1,Header,1,Directory,1
And the error I am getting is:
Attempt to process file failed with Error when getting an FTP connection from connection pool: com.sap.aii.af.service.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: iaik.security.ssl.SSLException: Peer sent alert: Alert Fatal: handshake failure

Does anybody have some Idea of this ??
Regards
Naina

Hi,
I guess the problem is not with Variable Substitution..
Error when getting an FTP connection from connection pool:
So its a connection problem..
Also check the option Disable Security check and try again...
Try to check again if the interface is executing properly without Variable substitution and let us know..

Using a Trading Partner Directory Implementation for Companies

Hello experts,
I am looking into configuring delegate useradmin using companies.
The UME approach requires a engine reboot and somhow doesnt fit our requirements.
The second approach - "Trading partner directory implementation" seems feasible.
To implement this do I need to have any additional Bussiness package or additional installation for my portal? The document does state that this approach is only available with SAP supplier relationship management. What does this mean??
thanks,
Vineeth

Hello Peng Ronan,
Did you have any success with your Trading Partner Directory?
Our project includes ECC, CRM 5.1, SRM6.0 and Portal7.0. We have this CRM scenario where a customer (manager) logs on and approves one of his employees, already self-registered, as a customer Portal user. UME seems to support that scenario, but it can only retrieve company information from a SRM backend system using a custom implementation of the Trading Partner Directory interface. In our case it is a CRM scenario and CRM Business Partners are not replicated on SRM.
What is that SRM Trading Partner Directory interface and how much effort is involved in this custom implementation?
Does the portal need to restart for new Companies to be added?
Is this only for EBP scenario?
Is there a better way to update the list of companies in UME from a list of CRM Business Partner?
Thanks

How can I create digital signatures for my users using Windows 2008 Active Directory Certificate Services?

Hi,
I need to create local digital signatures for my users. How can I do that using W2k8 Active Directory Certificate Services? We are gonna sign Office 2010 documents.
What company offers cheap digital signatures solutions?
Thanks in advanced

Consider the following:
if you use your local CA server to issue digital signature certificates, there is no cost, because you are eligible to issue so many certificates as you need. However, documents signed by these certificates will be considered trusted only within your AD
forest and other machines that explicitly trust your local CA. Any external client will not trust your signatures.
If you want to make your signature trusted outside your network (say, in worldwide), you need to pruchase a certificate from trusted commercial CA (VeriSign, GoDaddy, GlobalSign, StartCom, etc) according to respective vendor price list. In that case you
don't need to have your local CA server, because it is not used. All certificate management is performed by the external CA. A most common scenario is to purchase signing certificate for particular departament principals (head managers) or few certificates
for a whole company (all documents are revised by a responsible person or persons who holds signing certificate and sign them after review).
so, it is not clear from your post what exactly you need.

Can I export using a single dump directory to multiple locations in oracle

I'm trying to do a full database export using expdp utility in oracle 10g. I have a single dump directory that is mapped to a particular file location say /export/dump. I don't want the entire dump file to be stored in the above path. Instead I want the dump to be distributed among multiple files. I know that this can be done using FILESIZE parameter which will distribute the contents to multiple files according to the size we have specified.
My problems comes here, I want to export my data to multiple locations, the path is different than what I mentioned above, say /first/dump. Now my question is should I create multiple dump directories for each location before exporting or can I omit directory attribute in expdp and specify the complete path in the FILE parameter itself.

No. EXPDP needs the server component LOGICAL DIRECTORY. If you don't specify the directory, it will go to the default EXPDP path which will be mostly /rdbms/log. It's defined by the parameters DATA_PUMP_DIR.
You will have to specify directory attribute if you want to point your dumpfile to go to any specific location and you cannot give the directory path in the file name in EXPDP (unlike conventional exp)

Unable to use class in same directory

I am not really new to java. But havent worked with these environment variables for a long time. I am not able to use my public classes in the same directory. I know it is perfectly legal but I am not able to solve the problem. My environment variables are set fine as I can even import org.xml.sax.* an other classes.
Would appreciate a quick reply.
Thanks

solve the problem. My environment variables are set
fine as I can even import org.xml.sax.* an otherDoesn't mean anything, they're not found using the CLASSPATH. You should set this variable in your system environment to either containg nothing or at least a dot "." if you want to use the current directory. Alternatively, use the -classpath argument.
