Web Catalog - Item Lock Needs Attention

Hello, I am receiving an error in the web catalog (Item Lock Needs Attention). I tried to migrate about 22 files using the Catalog Manager, but it seems that the application placed a lock on the files.
When I try to delete the file from the front-end, I received this error in EM (Item Lock Needs Attention:) (Context: 0, code: QM3V3HLV), and (access denied for user to path /users/myusername).
I already tried stopping all the BI server components and restarting, but the error still persists.
Any help is appreciated

Hi,
I suggest you also open a thread on the MDM forums as the issue is more related to Core MDM than the SRM side of it, you can reach them [here|SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management;.

Control the query of Content By Search web part or a Catalog-Item Reuse web part from JavaScript

Is it possible/supported to intercept and change the query before it gets issued by a Content By Search or Catalog-Item Reuse webpart?
I am writing a multilingual site utilizing cross-site publishing mechanism, and the out-of-box (OOB) web parts would perfectly work if not for the following requirement that I've got: I need to serve location-specific content to the end user. I have several
versions of each content page for each geographical location, and I have tagged the pages accordingly with managed metadata keywords. I also can deduce the user's location from her browser's IP address and store it in a JavaScript variable. It is here
where I am getting stuck: I am trying to change on the fly the queries the web parts issue in order to attach the information about the user's geographical location, unsuccessfully so far.
I cannot rely on server-side code unless it is a cloud-hosted app code. I am about to give up and consider a custom solution alternative instead, which would be relying on Search REST API and custom client-side scripted widgets in place
of the OOB search web parts. This seems like an expensive alternative as the entire site could have been built using the OOB web parts, if not for the location requirement.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Ivan.

hi
I would check several directions:
- in query transformation you may add keyword filter "Value of a field on the page". Documentation doesn't clearly says what "field" means here: is it only for site columns, or also may work for UI controls on the page. In second case it would solve your
problem (it would be possible to add hidden field on the page and set value via javascript). But chances that it works like this are not high;
- in the query settings of the Content by search web part there is setting "Loading behavior": Choose whether this query is issued on the server while the page is loading, which is better for your main content, or from the browser after the page appears.
I.e. if you will choose 2nd option there will be a chance to intercept the query on the client side in theory. All of this requires experimenting of course;
- by default Content by search web part sends query to /_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery with http post from client side (you may check it in fiddler). You may try to find the exact javascript function which performs the call and override it by adding additional
conditions to the query (fortunately it is not complicated in javascript).

that belong to the supplier that the user gave me,
through abap.
is anyone can help me with wich class+method do i need to use if i have the supplier name or id?
thanks in advanced,

Hi Dana.
You can achieve this through MDM Webservices.
1. Create a MDM Webservice
2. Configure the tables and list the list of fields which you want to retrieve
3. You can specify the search criteria as well(supplier=XXX)
4. Generate it and save it
You can deploy the application in your landscape and call this webservice from your custom application to create shopping cart.
The below link will give you an insight of MDM Webservices.

Content Query Web Part - in 2010 but Catalog-Item Reuse in 2013

In SharePoint 2010 I exported this SharePoint Links List to be a WebPart that I can put for things. It's our company's "Popular Links." "WE" decide what is "Popular." We have a few that I am sharing here.
In 2010 I got this to be a web part that I can pop onto multiple sites on our site collection. Now in 2013, I'd like to use Search if possible to get this to work. I tried and it didn't come out right.
SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Edition RTM dec 2013 CU
I tried the Items Matching a Tag and I set a tag to be "Popular Links" and set the tag on the items below in this graphic. I then set it to look only at these.
This is on the same page on the "home" page, publishing turned on. I don't have the "feel" of the first "list" that I did on the graphic above. It's not CSS as it is on the same page using the same master page.
Also when I click on the link it takes me to the displayform.aspx?id=1 page and I want to have the user just click the hyperlink.
Could I / should I use the Catalog-Item Reuse feature with publishing and get a new site collection setup with this? I am frustrated as I'd like to "share" information in another site, just as this "perfect" example (for me) to
show this information multiple times.
Thank you!

CQWB is supported for Publishing Sites or site having publishing feature turned on, on other it will not work as expected.
You can add it on the page from ribbon insert web part> from categories select Content Rollup > next pane slect Content Query.

Catalog items visible to everyone, purchaseable only for some users

Hello everybody
Me again trying to find a solution to the following problem:
We need to have some items in our catalog that are visible for every user but only purchaseable via shopping cart / SRM for some authorized users. I couldn't find any possibility in the customizing. So my attempt would be to add an additional attribute in CCM where I can put some kind of flag and then to construct an authorization check based on that flag and on a authorization profile. In case the authorization check fails, the catalog item may not be put in the shopping cart. Preferabily the shopping cart icon should be disabled for such items.
Did somebody out there already think about something similar or already implemented something like that?
It would also be a good basis for offering a publicly viewable, browseable catalog for "window shopping", because I also didn't find a way until now to publish the catalog as a standalone web application without shopping cart functionality.
What do you out there think about it?
Kind regards,
Renaud

Hi Christophe
Thanks a bunch for your great help! I could solved the problem and am now able to have some catalog items visible but only purchaseable for authorized users. This is what I've done:
1. Create a new authorization class (SU21)
2. Create a new authorization object within this class
3. Create a new authorization field within this object
Don't forget to save and quit the SU21 transaction and then reenter it (/nsu21) because only then you'll see your changes / additions... seems to be a "refresh-bug" in SU21.
4. Create a new role (PFCG) and an authorization profile containing the new authorization object. Assign the values needed.
5. Create a new attribute in CCM and assigned it to OCI cust_field5 (because this one is of type TEXT50)
6. Implemented some code in BAdI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER:
DATA: wa_et_sc_item_data TYPE BBP_PDS_SC_ITEM_D.
DATA: wa_catalog_content TYPE BBP_WS_OCI_ITEM_S.
DATA: lv_authorized       TYPE c.
DATA: lt_limtab           TYPE TABLE OF string.
DATA: wa_limtab(10)       TYPE C.
DATA: lv_message_v1       LIKE SY-MSGV1.
DATA: lv_message_v2       LIKE SY-MSGV2.
DATA: lv_message_v3       LIKE SY-MSGV3.
DATA: lv_message_v4       LIKE SY-MSGV4.
LOOP AT et_sc_item_data INTO wa_et_sc_item_data.
* Get corresponding line from transferred catalog data
READ TABLE catalog_content INTO wa_catalog_content
                             WITH KEY line = wa_et_sc_item_data-number_int
                             BINARY SEARCH.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
*   If field content for checking authority against is not empty...
    IF NOT wa_catalog_content-cust_field5 IS INITIAL.
*     Perform authority check
      AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT '<your auth.object here>'
                      ID     '<your auth.field here>'
                      FIELD wa_tab.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        MOVE wa_catalog_content-cust_field5 TO lv_message_v1.
        MOVE wa_et_sc_item_data-ordered_prod TO lv_message_v2.
*       Eliminate leading zeroes from product number
        WHILE lv_message_v2+0(1) = '0'.
          SHIFT lv_message_v2.
        ENDWHILE.
*       Output message
        MESSAGE ID     'ZXXX'
                TYPE   'W'
                NUMBER '000'
                WITH   lv_message_v1
                       lv_message_v2.
*       Remove item from SC
        DELETE et_sc_item_data.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Interesting observation is, that when issueing the message with type = 'I' it does not condense the message text. With type = 'W' it does...
I also found out the reason, why the way via ET_SC_MESSAGES will not work: SAP <b>has hard coded</b> somewhere after the BAdI call the message id and message number... so no way to bypass this without a modification.
Kind regards,
Renaud

Web Catalog - User Folders

We currently are in the process of including the domain name in the OBIEE account name so jsmith will become Domain/jsmith. This is has been changed in the RPD using the UDML script. My question is with the current users folders in the Web Catalog. My first question would be is there any thing that any of you have used to be able to figure out who has requests or dashboards saved in their personal folders/my dashboards.
In regards to moving the contents, the only thing I could think of doing right now is create the folder in the Web Catalog and move the objects under the users folder (jsmith) into the newly named folder (Corp/jsmith) then apply the applicable permissions and ownership. I was wondering if there is any other way those on the forum have done this?
Thanks to all for any suggestions.

There is no easy way to do what you want I think. By default Administrators don't have access to use folders. You can change this but you will need to do this manually for each user folder because if you do it recursively at the /root/users/ level then all the user's permissions are removed. You could do a script that checks the contents of the user's personal folder looking at the file system Web Catalog [Web Catalog Path]/root/users/[user name]/ to see if they have any requests saved or not. They are a few standard items in the user's folder so if you ignore all those plus all the .atr files (permission to items) then you should be able to get a list of users that have saved reports.

When opening elements 12, catalog is locked by another user

When opening Elements 12, I get a message that catalog is locked by another user. No other applicatrions are open and computer was restarted

Yes, I've seen this happen when the form contains a multi-line text field. What happens is that applications generated with the Web PL/SQL generator do optimistic locking by saving a copy of the original contents of each field in hidden fields. When you save the form, it calls the lck procedure in the TAPI, and passes the data from the hidden fields. In theory, if no-one has changed the data in the database since you first saw the form, the data in the hidden fields will match the current data in the database. This works fine for data that has no linefeeds or carriage returns. Unfortunately, if you have a long text field that may contain linefeeds or carriage returns, the browser may have changed the whitespace in the hidden field so that it no longer matches what is currently in the database.
My current work-around is to do a post-generation change to the TAPI's lck procedure, so that it replaces all whitespace characters (tab, lf, cr, etc.) with spaces, and changes multiple spaces to single spaces in both the input data and the data from the database, so that they will only fail to match if the actual readable data has changed. Yes, post-generation changes are a pain, because you have to remember to do them EVERY time you generate - I usually put a reminder in the Comments on the item.
Unfortunately, Oracle is not going to fix this because Designer is a "mature" product. I'm thinking of writing my own TAPI generator and my own Web PL/SQL generator that uses SCN (system change number) for its optimistic locking.

OBIEE web catalog organization (or lack thereof...)

Hi, I'm trying to come up with a "best practices" scheme to allow organizing our "shared" web catalog folders and directory structure. Our particulars are:
- We need to have one group of dashboards / reports that are "enterprise approved"
- we need to have another set of areas available for various business units to do their own work in, but not be available as "enterprise approved", just for business area use
- need to cover analyses, dashboards, filters, prompts, etc.
- would like to keep dashboard related items organized together if possible
- would like to keep prompted analyses separate from analyses used in dashboards if necessary
- power users will all have their own "personal" folders, I'm not worried about those (but if hints on how to arrange to make migration to either the shared "business unit" or shared "enterprise approved" folders, that would be great)
- I'd like dashboards to show up properly, which seems to imply they need to be just one level under the main "Shared" directory
Does anyone have a best practices way of organizing the web catalog to make the above easy to accomplish?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi
Did anyone help you out? I am also looking for a list of best practices or blogs that contain that type of information.
Thanks

Non-Catalog Items

Hi Experts!
For my B2B scenario (ERP backend) I need to be able to add non-catalog items to the basket and to order them.
I read about the XCM configuration for adding items which do not belong to the web catalog by using the component "enable.nonCatalogProducts". But it doesn't work, cause I always receive an error message in my basket after I have added a non-catalog product. Any advices?
Regards!
Mirko

Hi Mirko,
the error message states exactly what the problem is: The material you are trying to order is not available in the sales area you are currently using and which is configured in the Shopadmin application. You will have to either add this sales area to the material or you will have to change the shop setup so that you work in the correct sales area.

Creating Web Catalog for Picture Sale?

Hi Folks, I'm trying to figure out how to create a workflow. I'm able to create web catalogs well enough with watermarked images, but I'd like to be able to link the watermarked images to a paypal payment system and then to a download of unwatermarked images. I have WebAssist Digital FIle Pro to create the shopping cart backend, but what I'm missing is some way to export the images from aperture into a recognizable database with dynamic features.
Say i have image 1 2 and 3 and I want to put the image payment into a link for image 1, etc. First of all, Aperture seems to only output to html and not php. Second, I'm not sure there is any way to add links or item id's to a link in the Export to Web menu. I'm glad the program will add the watermarks, but I'm wondering what the proper workflow might be and am looking for ideas.
Thanks...
Jeff

I started to try and export, but I've only got FMPro 7 and I'm not sure it is capable of interfacing with a server database. The exporter calls for a local serverdatabase, and I'd also need it to be a MySql online db. I realize I could create one locally and then upload it, but it'd be nice to skip that step...
Any help on the procedure would be appreciated. What I could see in the db export was a choice of what size images and type to export. That is as far as I got... Since the links to the files would have to be relative to the online folders, I just wasn't sure how the export was going to fit....
It could be all there, I just didn't want to export another set of full size images for no reason...
Thanks
Jeff

11g - Automatic Deployment of Web Catalog

Hi,
I need a way of automatically deploying a new web catalog for OBIEE 11.1.1.5. Has anyone had any experience of doing this before and can offer some advice?
Presumably I'd need to 'lock and edit' the deployment, then copy in the new webcat files, then unlock again... all using a script.
Answers on a postcard, please!
Thanks.

User,
I have plenty of thoughts on this and I'll point you in what I think to be the right direction.
I wrote a post, http://www.artofbi.com/index.php/2011/03/obiee-11g-patching-capabilities-fusion-middleware-enhancements/, which talks about some new command-line capabilities in OBIEE 11g. The one you want to look at is how to access the catalog manager's command line functionality which may be one of the only two solutions possible for your automation requirements.
1.) Locate the path of your catalog manager runcat.cmd as I highlight in the blog post. From a command-line prompt run the command, runcat -help to see the help menu for this executable. You will see there are functions for diff,creatPatch,applyPatch, etc. Take this as a starting point for your automation.
2.) The OBI Web Services (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e16364/methods.htm#CHDHEHAG) do provide a decent amount of web catalog interaction that could potential help you to automate some tasks but that depends on your full requirements which I don't know.
Outside of those two options you are probably looking at using the antiquated but still viable solution of opening up two web catalog managers and doing the do.
We crave points around here so if this was helpful or the correct answer please kindly award points.
Cheers,
Christian

This is the Firefox Start Page that was used in Firefox 3.6 and prior versions. <br />
http://www.google.com/firefox
The '''about:home''' default homepage looks a lot like that older default homepage, but it is missing the Google menu items at the top left-side of the web page, along with the '''''Sign In''''' hyperlink for signing into Google services and the '''''Options''''' "gear button" for setting Google search preferences.
If you want the orange Firefox button to show, instead of the Menu Bar showing, you need to hide the Menu Bar by right-clicking a blank spot on the Menu Bar and de-selecting the Menu Bar by clicking on Menu Bar in that contextual menu.

How to sort web app items based on few fields of it on search result page?

I have a web app and its search. The search results are on multiple pages means it has pagination. My client's requirement is to have a feature which will sort results based on some web app items. for example we have a field price so when user select the price it needs to sort from high to low. Any one have idea how to do it?

I have just been playing around with this for something else, all you need to do is duplicate your price field into the weighting field and it will automatically sort from High to low for you.

Allow changes to SC fields for catalog items

We're on SRM 5.0 (SRMServer 5.5). In contrast to free-text (non-catalog) items, EBP makes certain fields display-only when adding catalog items to shopping cart. We need to make the following fields available for user's input when the user adds a zero-priced item from the catalog:
- price
- currency
- UoM
One solution I can think of is to make EBP treat zero-priced catalog items as free-text items. To achieve that, will it be enough to implement a BAdI (e.g. BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER) to blank out CATALOGID and CATALOGITEM fields?
Failing that, can we use BBP_SC_UI_CTRL method of BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI to make price/currency/UoM available for input?
I know there're SAP Notes to make Price and UoM changeable for catalog items (693175,748855), but they all entail modifications which I'd like to stay away from as much as possible.
Thanks and Cheers,
Serguei

Thank you for your quick response, Yann.
So, you confirm that the CATALOGID field is available to the BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER BAdI, and that clearing it will open the fields? Also, can I assume that CATALOGID is the only criteria in price determination for my scenario - so that, when CATALOGID is blank, EBP will treat the item price as "manual price", not "catalog price"?
You've brought up a good point about reporting on this field. I'll keep it in mind.
What about the second approach: can BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI (or some other BAdI) be used to modify SC field status for the mentioned fields?
The two OSS Notes are not part of standard, they are not included in any Support Pack, so they're mods, and will be our last option to consider.
Cheers,
Serguei
