Using iFS and OID...

Hi everyone,
If I am using OID to store information about users....i.e users are fall under seperate groups with unique info for each group
Group Users (about 200users)
Group1--- usrname, passwd, email, ....
Group2--- usrname, passwd, email, ....
And I also want the same users to create and retrieve and store files through iFS...
How do I synchronise the user information so that it can be used in iFS?
Or do I just have to recreate the profiles for each of the users in iFS..
Thanks...

We are very aware of the importance of supporting OID and LDAP in general as the credential and authorization mechanism for iFS.
Support for OID/LDAP is a feature planned for a later release of iFS. At the moment we cannot comment which release might include support for this feature or when such a release may become available.

IFS and OiD

We have here iFS 9.0.2 installed and using OiD. I'm using the following code to connect to iFS:
CleartextCredential credencial = new CleartextCredential(user, pass); // user and pass are correct
ConnectOptions connectOptions = new ConnectOptions();
LibrarySession s = ifsService.connect(credencial, null); // ifsService is already started
I used this code on other systems, and it worked fine when we had only iFS. But know I got the following stack error:
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-21008: Unable to connect to iFS service
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-10151: Unable to perform authentication
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-12911: Unable to get user verifier (authpassword); account may be locked
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-12955: Unable to get OiD application GUID
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-12951: Unable to get OiD context
The code to connect to iFS must be different when I have OiD? If yes, where can I find an example?
Thanks,

Synchronisation problem when using iFS as Portal document repository

Is anyone using 9iFS as the repository for their Portal documents but getting DRG-11602: URL store: access to <file name> requires authentication when synchronising the PORTAL30.WWSBR_URL_CTX_INDX index. This is run under schema CTXSYS, using ctx_schedule.
We use a URL on the Portal folder to access the iFS document and, if the ACE on the document ACL includes World Read, then the document is indexed correctly but if it has no World Read access then synchronisation fails with the above error. These secure documents are indexed correctly, however, when synchronising IFSSYS.IFS_TEXT.
When you put the URL for the document in the browser then you are prompted for an iFS username/password and this is obviously the problem when synchronising. Oracle Support say that the Oracle 9i Oracle Text Reference, Chapter 2: Indexing, definition of URL_DATASTORE states :The login:password@ syntax within the URL is not supported. Oracle Support have also suggested that using iFS as the Portal repository is not standard practice and that we should simply add our documents as items on the folder. Doing this means not being able to take advantage of the added functionality of iFS such as versioning and, anyway, I thought that Oracle had plans to fully integrate the two products with iFS being the default repository in a future release of Portal.
Until then has anyone got any ideas for a workaround because we are unable to index the contents of all secure documents on our Corporate intranet? We cant be the only site using iFS and Portal in this way!

Hello Raymond,
I must say that I downloaded the JBoss Portal Binary and not the bundle JBoss AS + JBoss Portal, because I already had a JBoss AS working, so it was the best way to do it (as it is said in the JBossPortalReferenceGuide). I have both things (server and portal) in the same directory, but I don't know if maybe one of them should contain the other (I have seen that in the bundle, the portal directory contains the JBoss application server) When I downloaded the JBoss Portal and tried to deploy it by directing my web browser to http://localhost:8080/portal it did not work, so I decided to copy the jboss-portal.sar directory from the JBoss Portal to the deploy of my server. Maybe this was a mistake.
But anyway I have seen that JBoss Portal 2.6 comes with the myfaces jars, and as JBoss AS 4.2 uses Sun RI by default, it is going to collapse anyway. Should I just remove these jars from the portal? As I told you before, I tried doing it and I got two errors of not found classes.
Please, any help would be really appreciated, I am losing a lot of time with this bug, because the server keeps getting out of memory due to it.
Thanks in advance.

Apache challenge for username/password using IFS

We are using IFS and Apache.
When we open a document we are challenged for a username/password.
Has anyone else experienced this - and know how to prevent it. Even when the user has uploaded the file it asks you for the username/password.
Any clues?
Thanks
Chris

Hi Deb,
You can try the following type of code in your client side to pass the username and password to the webservice.
BindingProvider bindingProvider = (BindingProvider) port;
Map<String,Object> rc = (Map<String,Object>)bindingProvider.getRequestContext();
List<CredentialProvider> credProviders = new ArrayList<CredentialProvider>();
credProviders.add(new ClientUNTCredentialProvider(USERNAME.getBytes(),PASSWORD.getBytes()));
rc.put(WSSecurityContext.CREDENTIAL_PROVIDER_LIST, credProviders);
rc.put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, USERNAME);
rc.put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, PASSWORD);;For more details you can have a look at the below link:

Pros and cons of using iFS

HAI ALL,
assuming that i have stored all of my data(both RDBMS and no-relational data html files,xml files)in an iFS.the first thing i want to ask u is
1)if i want to read the iFS and display only the RDBMS data from the iFS ,how fast it can be done compared to traditionally storing the RDBMS data in a table in oracle8i ?
2)if i want to use indexing,how fast is iFS compared to doing indexing in oracle8i ?
3)if i want to search for a particular record how fast is it compared to doing the same in an RDBMS table in oracle8i ?
4)say i want to mirror the contents of the iFS from one oracle8i server to another oracle8i server,what are the pros and cons ?
throw some light on the above points which is crutial for us to either go for iFS or not?
awaiting reply

Ravi, I sorry, but I don't understand your questions. My comments are preceded with >>.
Assuming that I have stored all of my data--both RDBMS and non-relational data, namely html files and xml files--in iFS, the first thing I want to ask you is:
I don't know what you mean, "store your RDBMS data in iFS". You store RDBMS data in the Oracle database directly. 1) if i want to read the iFS and display only the RDBMS data from the iFS, how fast it can be done compared to traditionally storing the RDBMS data in a table in oracle8i?
You don't store RDBMS data in iFS.2) if i want to use indexing, how fast is iFS compared to doing indexing in oracle8i ?
It's the same. Under the covers, iFS uses both the normal RDBMS indexing for its metadata, and the normal interMedia Text indexing for the non-relational data.3) if i want to search for a particular record how fast is it compared to doing the same in an RDBMS table in oracle8i?
It's the same. iFS uses the normal RDBMS searching capabilities under the covers.4) say i want to mirror the contents of the iFS from one oracle8i server to another oracle8i server,what are the pros and cons?
I'm not sure what you mean by "mirror". Are you referring to replicating?null

Oracle ifs and BEA weblogic

Oracle ifs and BEA weblogic
We have one application server with weblogic and and ifs 1.0.9 , and one db server with Oracle 8.1.7.
with the following configuration:
Web server
appl server with weblogic 6.0 and ifs 1.1.9
Oracle 8i Enterprise with interMedia text
We need to use the iFS API call for our application.
As I know, weblogic 6.0 support JDK1.3 but ifs 1.1.9 supports up to JDK1.2.
Is this configuration possible?
Any conflict if two version JDK co-exist inside same machine?
Any suggestion?
If I separate the appl. server into two machines, that is,
one server installed with weblogic, the other one installed with ifs.
How could I make use the ifs API call from appl. server?
Is there any configuration guides for this setting?
Thanks a lot.

The iFS API is 100% pure Java. You can use it from any other Java application, be it JSP, EJB, or a standalone application.
So it really comes down to the CLASSPATH. The iFS API is split among a set of .jar files, and some of the configuration information is stored in .properties files that are outside of these .jar files. All of this stuff needs to be in the CLASSPATH of whatever JVM is calling the iFS API.
The iFS API uses the Oracle JDBC driver to communicate with the Oracle database. This is another requirement. You can't use another JDBC driver; you have to use ours.
So again, it's all about configuration.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Would you mind to share more detail on configurating weblogic to integrate the iFS API?

Questions on SSO and OID implementation on oracle EBIZ R12.0.6 ID 376811.1

Hello Guys,
IS ORACLE 10g enterprise edition is same oracle identity management because I am bit confused what is going on when we logged an SR we have been told to use oracle 10g AS (10.1.3.5) but in the note its always says oracle 10g AS 10.1.4.X. which is in turn an Identity management so we need install oracle 10gAS (10.1.3.5) then on top of that we install oracle identity management which comprises of OSSO and OID . is it correct ??
in reference note 376811.1
please advise
thanks

How to synchronize files in the iFS and a record of table ?

I have table that contains information about a documents. Document's name, author, project number, etc... Documents are files made by Word or Autocad etc.. Documents are saved in the iFS.
One record in the table should correspond one document in the iFS.
Do somebody know how can I syncronice the Table and iFS so, that if someone add's (or delete) a file to the iFS, that reflects to the table too ? This mean that a record should be added to the table.
Do I need some special column in the record that points to document ?
Thanks,
Antti

A better solution is to use iFS metadata to store your additional properties, instead of using a custom table. You could create a Document subclass with additional attributes, your you could attach a Category with the additional attributes to Documents in iFS. Then you could use the iFS API to get and set these attributes and they would be stored, managed, and exposed as part of the iFS content management.

Hi,
Thanks for reply...i checked1307549.1 in metalink, In that link they are telling us to modify some tables in the data base.i have some question regarding the following steps please help.
=== ODM Solution / Action Plan ===
1. Use the following query to find fields with "plain text" values:
select svr.svr_name, spd.spd_field_name, svp.svp_key, svp_field_value
from svp
inner join spd on spd.spd_key = svp.spd_key
inner join svr on svr.svr_key = svp.svr_key
2. Set these plain text values to null after making backup of table.
*(kashyap:: Which fields values we have to change)*
3. Edit the Directory Server to re-set values.
*(kashyap:: could you please explain this)*
Expected error at this stage:
-- no "System Error call admin...", but that makes sense since the values in question pertained directly to the Directory Server --

Logging in ifs and renderering capabilities out of the box

Hello there
Just wondering if anybody could clarify/confirm a few things for me...
I'm currently trying to use 9ifs as a 'conversion' engine. I have an XML file within a 9ifs repository that I wish to transform using an xslt when I retrieve it.
Does 9ifs contain out of the box functionality to perform this? If so, how do I use it or do I need to write a custom renderer to perform the tasks that I have specified?
I have had a play with the SimpleXmlRenderer however have not been able to find any solid examples of how to use it nor do I know whether it is possible to use it to specify the xslt that will perform the transformation.
I have also heard that 9ifs has an inbuilt 'logging' capability - ie it can keep a record of files that have gone in to 9ifs or gone out. Is this also true and how would I use it?
Finally, I have heard that one of the capabilities of ifs is that it provides 'transactional' support in either putting files into the repository or taking files out - ie a file is either there or it is not, there is no in between, corrupt file state. Can anybody shed any light on this as to whether it is true or not?
Jason

The CMSDK does not include any out-of-the-box XML transformation capabilities, but it is very easy to code XML/XSLT transformations using Java, and I believe Internet Explorer has built-in support for it, so one could consider that built-in functionality. You could write your own servlet to perform any kind of transformation you wish on any file in the CMSDK, and serve up the resulting file via HTTP, for example.
The CMSDK is extensible and configurable in a way that could allow you to keep track of files uploaded and downloaded into the instance. You can write custom code and plug it into various extensibility points which allow you to modify default behavior or extend it to include custom operations. See the developer's guide and the javadoc for more details.
The CMSDK is a transactional object store -- it is true that files can be uploaded and modified within a transaction, and completely rolled back in case of failures.

Using iFS as a repository for file upload attachments

We are creating an auction website where auction owners are allowed to post any number of attachments (*.doc, *.pdf, etc...) to describe the product being auctioned.
What is the best way to go about managing these file attachments? The difficulty lies in storing them uniquely. Should we use iFS or store them as BLOBs?

Where can i find a sample application does something like this ? i.e a document management system such as the one fisher1 has discussed about where any file(*.xls,*.pdf etc) can be uploaded.Iam trying to design such a system myself but have little material(in the form of examples,books etc) to go on.

Integration and reconciliation of OIM and OID

I need to do integration with OID and OIM, when i import the XML file, there are two XML files,
1) oimOIDuser
2) oimUser
which xml should be used for the integration of OIM and OID.
and for the trusted source Reconciliation.
-sudhan elango.

oimOIDUser.xml
If you are using OIM 9.1.0 or later then you don't have to import the connector
You can install it by copying the contents of the installation in OIM_HOME/xellerate/ConnectorDefaultDirectory
and then Deployment Manager-> Install connector and from the connector list select OID connector and Load
Hope it helps,

Transactions accross iFS and 'normal' database

I want to do a combined transaction where file operations are combined with normal table data transactions - for instance I would like to delete a file and at the same time insert a row in my log-table (this is just an example :-)).
The documentation is quite unhelpful here as it gives me no description on how to do this. Has anybody out there tries this ?
Thanks in advance
Jacob

Hi,
Is there a way to do something like this? I need to update a field in another schema on the same database as IFS, based on a action that happens in IFS.
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Jacob Due (jcd@ramboll:
Tkanks for the input but I really want a more general approach :-) - using a trigger will make something happen allways (I might have application functionality that should not trigger any action other than the iFS action), and I really do not like having my application code in database triggers. So what I whish for is that I can somehow have a shared transaction spanning across the iFS and the normal database with full two phase commit.

Question about multiple resource objects using the same OID target account

In Oracle Identity Manager 11g with OID connector as a target system.
Is it possible to create multiple resources that use the same OID IT Resource. Each resource is responsible for provisioning certain OID attributes of the same OID account. For example 'OID User' would provision the basic account and a separate resource called 'Department1 User' would provision attributes not provisioned by OID User.

Yes, definitely. Here is how it would work:
- You would have to make sure that the resource OID User always gets provisioned first, so that the account exist when these additional attributes are being set for the user via the other resource Department1 User. You can do this with Resource Dependency in OIM.
- Now for using the same IT Resource, just create the new form and in the IT Resource type form field, map the properties to the same IT Resource Definition, so when the Provisioning Process gets invoked it uses the same IT Resource instead.
Thanks
