Using iFS (ASP).

Hello!
I have a few questions about using iFS.
(1) Can I access iFS tables from sqlplus using sql?
(2) If I have a web application through which my clients access applications and store their files in my database(iFS).
Can they have the option to want to access the files on their local directories?
If not, how do I copy all their files into the iFS tables?
Thanks, in advance...

To reply to Eniba's questions:
(1) As an administrator, can I create a hierarchy in which only users in a specific group can view/modify/print/or access files in their group?
You can create Access Control Lists for specific groups, and then assign those ACLs to documents and folders to restrict access. Printing is not controlled by iFS. However, when you put a new document into a folder it does not automatically get the ACL from the folder, it gets the ACL from the user.
(2)Can I also have control over the amount of space that each user accessing my file system is allowed to have?
Yes, there is a Quota system in iFS. See page 4-16 in the Solaris Setup and Administration Guide.
(3) When using iFS on the web, can I recustomize the front end interface that the users view? i.e Customise it such that users can only see what I (System Admin) wants them to see, based on their login information.
Not in iFS 1.0.

Performance degradation using Jolt ASP Connectivity for TUXEDO

We have a customer that uses Jolt ASP Connectivity for TUXEDO and is suffering
from a severe performance degradation over time.
Initial response times are fine (1 s.), but they tend to increase to 3 minutes
after some time (well, eh, a day or so).
Data:
- TUXEDO 7.1
- Jolt 1.2.1
- Relatively recent rolling patch installed (so no there are probably no JSH performance
issues and memory leaks as fixed in earlier patches)
The ULOG shows that during the night the JSH instances notice a timeout on behalf
of the client connection and do a forced shutdown of the client:
040911.csu013.cs.kadaster.nl!JSH.234333.1.-2: JOLT_CAT:1185: "INFO: Userid:
[ZZ_Webpol], Clientid: [AP_WEBSRV3] timed out due to inactivity"
040911.csu013.cs.kadaster.nl!JSH.234333.1.-2: JOLT_CAT:1198: "WARN: Forced
shutdown of client; user name 'ZZ_Webpol'; client name 'AP_WEBSRV3'"
This happens every 10 minutes as per configuration of the JSL (-T flag).
The customer "solved" the problem for the time being by increasing the connection
pool size on the IIS web server.
However, they didn't find a "smoking gun" - no definite cause for the problem.
So, it is debatable whether their "solution" suffices.
It is my suspicion the problem might be located in the Jolt ASP classes running
on the IIS.
Maybe the connection pool somehow loses connections over time, causing subsequent
users having to queue before they get served (although an exception should be
raised if no connections are available).
However, there's no documentation on the functioning of the connection pool for
Jolt ASP.
My questions:
1) What's the algorithm used for managing connections with Jolt ASP for TUXEDO?
2) If connections are terminated by a JSH, will a new connection be established
from the web server automatically? (this is especially interesting, because the
connection policy can be configured in the JSL CLOPT, but there's no info on how
this should be handled/configured by Jolt ASP connectivity for TUXEDO)

Hi,
For ASP connectivity I would suggest looking at the .Net client facility provided in Tuxedo 9.1 and later.

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.

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.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Luis:

IFS logging/tracing when using IFS Java APIs

We are using IFS 1.1 and the java APIs that come with it
(oracle.ifs java packages). In the IfsDefault.properties file
you can specify tracing options. I have enabled tracing in this
properties file, but I don't know where the tracing output
goes. Where/how can I specify the output file for this tracing?
Thanks
Bryan - [email protected]

I think posting the question in the IFS forum (or the database forum if there's no IFS forum) will be the fastest route to an answer on this one.
Unfortunately, we're not IFS experts in the JDev team...

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:

Who uses iFS?

I have a potential client that is thinking about implementing iPortal as an intranet and iFS as a content management system. To persuade them, I would like to show them that other customers have used these products successfully. If you know of any organizations using these products, can you please provide me the following:
- Name of organization
- # users
- # of documents stored
- How long been in production?
- General experience of product
Thanks so much,
Ken

Ken,
We are in the UK and are actively using iFS internally and we have also worked closely with the API and created our own interfaces. We have also implemented at two clients and have several lined up who are looking at iFS for their requirements.
Internally we have been looking at iFS in a development environment for about 8 months, and using it actively in a live environment for the past 4 months. Overall we think it is an extremely powerful application (we have been involved with document management for some time now), there is a tremendous amount of potential there. We are also looking at using iFS for more than straight forward document management.
Hope this info helps but if you want any more information then email me.

Hello, is there a way that the Test Stand APIs can be used for ASP / Web?

Hello,
I do hope someone can be an idea.
Is it possible that the TestStand API's can be used for ASP/Web?
Currently, we are using Teststand running on exectuble application, but if the TestStand API's can be used on web (Just the operator interface), then it will be easier for engineers/operators to see the results locally and remotely by a web browser.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help.
Mhelinx

Mhelinx,
i don't think that the TestStand API can be used in ASP very nicely.
TestStand is an ActiveX Server and it seems to be possible to use ActiveX in ASP, but i have read that doing will require reboots of the server from time to time (never done that myself, so relying on 3rd party information).
But there is another, maybe better approach:
Using LabVIEW as your user interface, you can use the Webserver capability of LabVIEW to include the functionality of your UI into your ASP webpages. You can create different "looks" for your application in the webpage while the LV UI stays always the same......
I have never done this as well, and it might be a bit tricky to access data from the visible controls though.
hope this helps,
Norbert
PS: If you are using C# for the UI, i think that this is possible as well....
CEO: What exactly is stopping us from doing this?

Using iFS with weblogic

Hi,
I would like to know if anybody has used iFS with weblogic before. If so could you please share the information like how to make it work. I would like to know the classpath settings etc...
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

while i don't work for Oracle, i would suggest this is not a supported configuration. ;)
having said that, it should be easy enough to accomplish. just make sure your classpath (better yet, your WAR or EAR file) includes the required runtime iFS jars (repos.jar, adk.jar, utils.jar and email.jar), and then use JDBC to get iFS service configuration information. (See my response to Satya in the "custom JSP in OC4J" thread.)
that should work just fine.

Connectionstring to be used in ASP for instant client ??

Hi,
I'm trying to use oracle instant client for one of my projects.
I have installed basic, sqlplus and ODBC for instant client.
I have set all the environment variables. I have the tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora
So far I have succeeded in connecting to a DB Server through sqlplus. I also created a DSN successfully using the driver "Oracle in instantclient10_2" which gets installed when I install instant client ODBC. These indicate that mos tof settings are right. It is good so far.
Now I'm trying to use a connection string in ASP which connects to a DB server using this instant client.
I need one DSN connection string and one DSN-less connection string.
So far I have tried the following:-
1)
Driver={Oracle in instantclient10_2};Server=<Service Name>;Uid=<UserID>;Pwd=<Password>;
This resulted in the error:-
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
2)
StrCon.Open "Driver={Oracle in instantclient10_2};Dbq=<Server IP address>:<port>/<serviceName>", "UserID", "Password"
This resulted in the error:-
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
Can you please help me out with these?
Thanks in advance
Jai

Hello,
I tried to use either of the 2 connections you gave but I still get an error:
DSN
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 5 (Oracle in instantclient10_2).
DSN-less Connectionstring:
Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 5 (Oracle in instantclient10_2).
Thanks in advance,
Do you have an idea as why this happens?

Use of asp:Grid in SharePoint 2010

Hi,
I have a form in SharePoint where data from a table in Database is exposed to user via asp:Grid. This grid has bunch of input fields and checkboxes to represent data in the table. There is also a Save button on the form upon pressing it, data should be saved
back to the table. Right now all the rows in the grid are being saved when Save button is pressed even though 1 out of 100 rows in the grid are edited. I do not have row wise edit button/link because we do not want user to click on edit link of every
row for eiditing multiple rows. Is there any way the unique identifier of the row is saved in a hidden field when editing a row and only those rows are saved back to the DB?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update mutiple rows when using Gridview in SharePoint 2010.
We can update multiple records in a GridView on a single button click using JSON in ASP.NET.
For more information, you can refer to:

Using ifs for multiple companys

All,
Let stay I want to use one ifs instance to support two companies?
I'm able to create different directories off of /home like
/home/company1/bob
/home/company2/sally
Its ok to day that there should only be one user named "bob" per
company. But if company 2 has a user named "bob" the user
manager does not know anything about his home directory.
So I could concatenate the company to the user names like
/home/company1/company1_bob
/home/company2/company2_sally
/home/company2/company2_bob
I would also like no not abandon the IFS management console to
administer the names.
But there must be a better way.
Any ideas?
Mitch

If I want to do this at the database level, would I need to
create multiple,
ifs domains
ifs nodes
ifs services
configured with different database partitions?
How would one do this?
Is it documented anywhere?
Anyone?

Releasing a license using Viewrpt.asp

I am using Crystal Report Server XI and have written a small .asp app.
This app creates a SessionManager, get's an EnterpriseSession and generates a logontoken.
This logon token is used as the APSTOKEN in the viewrpt.asp URL string.
When viewrpt is accessed using this APSTOKEN, the CMC shows another session being used (as well as a license).
I have not found a way to release this licese once the webpage has been closed.
I have created FRAMESETs and used the ONUNLOAD event but no command I use will release the license.
I have tried some of the following:
Session.abandon
Session.Logoff
Response.Cookies("LogonToken") = ""
Nothing works.
The license is eventually released after 20 minutes.
Because users are also using InfoView, I cannot change the default timeout in web.config.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ray

There are two kinds of tokens - the failover token (the default token), and the WCA token.
When you use the failover token, it creates a new EnterpriseSession object that is independent of the original EnterpriseSession that created the token. The original session will have no control over the session created by the token.
The WCA token does not create a distinct EnterpriseSession when it is used, but is tied to the original EnterpriseSession that created it. When the original EnterpriseSession is terminated, any session created by the WCA token is terminated as well.
The 20 minutes lifetime suggests you're using the failover token, and that it's terminating only on HTTP Session timeout.
Separate issue from the above is how to trigger a logout on the server when a client closes a web browser. There's no consistent way to do so that works across all web browsers - the OnUnload was a common method used when a report was displayed in the Java Applet viewer or the ActiveX viewer - when the applet or ActiveX viewer was unloaded, a cleanup page can be triggered on the server. However, this is problematic when using the DHTML viewer, since it's not a client component that's unloaded when report-viewing is done.
There is a 'trick' that works for Internet Explorer 6 that triggers a JavaScript when a window is closed - there's many descriptions of this method found by Googling - however, it's specific to IE 6.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda
