Web repository manager

Hi,
I am working with NW04S.
I am facing 2 issues which are related with the web repository manager.
1. When we create a web repository manager, we must be able to see it under content management->KM content. When we choose the web repository, we should be able to see the link of the website that we configured.
The issue that I am facing is that I am unable to see this link although my web repository manager is seen in the KM content.
I am able to the see the links for the web sites in the web repository managers that I had created previously.
I have done all configurations according to the config guide. I have created html system, website, html property extractor, cache and then web repository manager.
2. When I went back to check how I had configured the older web repository managers, I found that only the ones that I created recently were present. Very old ones were missing. But these are visible under KM content.
Is there some place where these are archived?
Could you please help me with this?
Best Regards,
Vidhya

Hi,
I checked some other posts on the forum and found that i had to check the component monitor. i did so.
it gives me an error saying that
2007-04-30T03:55:33Z: GET /: com.sapportals.wcm.WcmException: sending request to: http://www.yahoo.com/ request uri: / unable to connect to www.yahoo.com: unknown host: www.yahoo.com (java.net.UnknownHostException: www.yahoo.com)
i have tried the same with cnn.com also.
could someone tell me what i should do?

Web Repository Manager and robots.txt

Hello,
I would like to search an intranet site and therefore set up a crawler according to the guide "How to set up a Web Repository and Crawl It for Indexing".
Everything works fine.
Now this web site uses a robots.txt as follows:
<i>User-agent: googlebot
Disallow: /folder_a/folder_b/
User-agent: *
Disallow: /</i>
So obviously, only google is allowed to crawl (parts of) that web site.
My question: If I'd like to add the TRex crawler to the robots.txt what's the name of the "User-agent" I have to specify here?
Maybe the name I defined in the SystemConfiguration > ... > Global Services > Crawler Parameters > Index Management Crawler?
Thanks in advance,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
I'm sorry but this is hard coded. I found it in the class : com.sapportals.wcm.repository.manager.web.cache.WebCache
private HttpRequest createRequest(IResourceContext context, IUriReference ref)
        HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest(ref);
        String userAgent = "SAP-KM/WebRepository 1.2";
        if(sessionWatcher != null)
            String ua = sessionWatcher.getUserAgent();
            if(ua != null)
                userAgent = ua;
        request.setHeader("User-Agent", userAgent);
        Locale locale = context.getLocale();
        if(locale != null)
            request.setHeader("Accept-Language", locale.getLanguage());
        return request;
So recompile the component or changing the filter... I would prefer to change the roberts.txt
hope this helps,

SAP Web Repository, how can acess it from outside

I'm reading this http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/14/030fc5b63f11d5993900508b6b8b11/content.htm
and it says this:
"You use a Web repository (manager) to provide read access to documents stored on remote Web servers."
This could be really useful to me, but how does this work? I'm able to add objects to it using the transaction SMW0 but how can I get a valid url so that the users in my network can acess these files.
the only FM I know is 'DP_PUBLISH_WWW_URL' but this generates a kind of links that my browser can't process (something like SAPR3://WebRepository/0123456789/ZMY_FILE?Version=00001")
How can I do to create valid links to these documents, so that I can open them im my web browser??

though they have the same name, they are different! The SAP library you mention is about Knowledge Management.
If you want to generate an external URL for the Web Repository (SMW0), first read Note 865853 - WebReporting/WebRFC obsolete as of NW2004s. I don't know your SAP release, but if you are on a 7.0, you need to "release for internet" WWW_GET_MIME_OBJECT function module via SMW0, and probably activate /sap/bc/webrfc service using SICF transaction. Then you'll be able to access your ZZZZZ web document using URL like this: http://youserver:port/sap/bc/webrfc/!?_function=WWW_GET_MIME_OBJECT&_object_id=ZZZZZ&client=220&language=EN
Note: DP is only for allowing the HTML browser (and other SAPGUI controls) to access objects transmitted from SAP to the SAPGUI using the Data Provider service.

Tag base in HTML page from web repository

We are using EP 6.0 SP10 with KMC SP10 on host http://ep60:55000/. We want to configure web repository for http://example.com.
We have created HTTP system "ExampleSite" in KM system landscape for web site "http://example.com", created web site "Example" in KM landscape and configured web repository manager "WebSystems" with prefix "/websys" for created web site "Example" with property "External Server URI Handling"="rewrite".
We were create URL-iView on link http://ep60:55000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/websys/Example.
The problem is following:
There is no tag <base> in page content when we opening http://example.com directly in browser.
When we preview created URL-iView page it is opened but tag <base href=http://example.com> is present in HTML page content.
Thefore all relative links point to http://example.com but not to http://ep60:55000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/websys/Example as we need.
What settings (in web repository, HTTP System or anywhere) disables addition tag <base> to page content?

Hi, All. Sorry for tardy reply.
Now i'm attempting to use "HTML Filter" (from repository filters in Content Managenment Configurator) for reset base tag.
Unlike "HTML Stylesheet Filter" working fine (LINK tag is appearing in content of HTML repository documents),
"HTML Filter" doesn'n work (browser display "500 internal error"). This error possess when we use "HTML Filter" for native CM repository (for example: documents).
I find following error in knowledgemanagement.0.log file:
#1.5#C000AC140312000500000002000012240003F737312F4F50#1116241350578#com.sapportals.wcm.protocol.webdav.server.WDGetHandler#irj#com.sapportals.wcm.protocol.webdav.server.WDGetHandler#System#0#####Client_Thread_7##0#0#Error##Plain###Exception while applying filters: null - com.sapportals.wcm.repository.ResourceException: Exception while applying filters: null
Displaying pages from repository without "HTML Filter" works fine.
My filter has following properties:
Base Tag      = http://test.base.tag/
Extensions    = htm
MIME Types    = text/html
Paths         = /**
Active        = checked
Priority      = 99
Repositories = documents
I'm not use properties "Base URL", "URL Handler Class"
What is a reasone of the error?
Did anybody find a solution to remove/reset base tag?

Subscription for a web repository

Hi Experts ,
I am using EP 2004s , I have created a web repository and activated a subscription service for that.
Unfirtunately I am not able to receive any subscription notification emais , I can receive the subscription email for the repositories created inside the portal.
As per my understanding from sap help , for a web repository we should receive subscription notification emails once crawler detects the changes .
I have schedule the crawler accordingly so that it can detect the changes .
Can anybody through some light on , on which basis crawler considers that this document has been modified ?
Any advice , points are assured .
Thanks & Regards,
Amit Kade

Hi Amit
The following snippet is taken from the description of Subscription Event Mapping:
Subscription Event Mapping
A subscription event mapping maps events sent by a repository manager onto events that are meaningful with respect to subscriptions to resources...
As you can see, the Subscription Event Mapping handles events send by a repository manager, but since no events can be send from a Web Repository (as far as I know), you are actually not performing any mapping, and thus it does not work.
I was once told by SAP support that "Send events" does not work for a WebDAV repository, unless the changes/event was triggered from within the KM framework. Since a web repository isn't more closely integrated into the KM, my guess is that a web repository does not support "Send events" triggered from outside the portal either.
With "custom built" I mean that "Send events" (and thus notification emails) might work if you develop a custom web repository manager, that can handle a very good integration between a website and the portals KM.
Kind regards,
Martin

Simple Web and regular Web Repository errors... Need Help

Hello all!
We're running into a problem with Simple Web and regular Web Repository managers in our QA portal environment. These repository managers work very well in our Dev portal, but now that we're trying to implement them in QA, of course they aren't working. :-\
I set up a specific web site in our Web Repository manager. However, when I navigate to the repository's folder in KM, it just hangs. When I go to the Component Monitor and look at the Web Repository manager, the server is in red. The Status is "startup failed" and the specific error is:
"2008-01-07T19:47:48Z: GET /WhitePages/Spider: com.sapportals.wcm.WcmException: sending request to: http://hostname.company.com/ request uri: /WhitePages/Spider Connection timed out:could be due to invalid address (java.net.SocketException: Connection timed out:could be due to invalid address)"
When I try to set up the same web site in the Simple Web Repository Manager, I receive the same error. However, we shouldn't need a proxy configured because this is an internal web site.
This works in our Dev environment, so what configuration should I be looking at specifically? Any tips from anyone?
Thanks in advance to everyone!
Fallon

Hi,
As far as I know such type of problems are common in repositroy managers.
They work on one and don't on the other.
Possible reasons could be the connectivity and access issues.
As u r saying that it is an internal website pls chk connectivity of the QA system with the webserver.
Check ur Repository manager's configuration once again in Sys Admin.
Last option is to create a new Web RM in QA.
I know it is irritating but doesn't takes much time right.
i hope this helps.

Sumit

Web Repository clarifications

Hi,
I am an sap newbie
I am creating a web repository in KM. This is the scenario I want:
I want all html pages contain within a website (ie. http://www.xyz.com) to be stored in the repository.
So I created an HTTP system to http://www.xyz.com and then I configurate a Website with the HTTP system, with a start page of /main/index.html and a system path of /main
I then created an index and so forth. However, when I try to access the repository, I could only access the start page.
Any pointers? Or was my concept about the repository incorrect?
Points will be generously awarded.
Charles

Thanks for your reply.
yes I have followed all the steps in the link.
I have created an HTTP system with server URL http://www.xyz.com, a Web Site to the system (with the same system ID) with /main/index.html as the start page and /main as the system path. I then configurate a cache, and created a Web repository manager with the Web Site and cache I just created.
I gather that all documents of the website, with URL beginning with http://www.xyz.com/main will be stored in the wb repository once I have accomplished the steps above?
However, when I try to access the web repoistory via KM Content, I can only see the Web Site, and when I clicked on it, I arrived at the start page http://www.xyz.com/main/index.html. How to make it such that all the resources beginning with http://www.xyz.com/main will appear in the web repository? I have created an index and configurate the crawler, but still the same.
And what's the difference between a Simple and a Standard Web repoistory? I have read the sap documentation and still don't get it
Thanks, points will be generously awarded

How to see properties in details dialogue in a web repository

Hi everyone
I have set up a web repository that uses a number of web property extractors to extract content from meta tags into predefined properties. The funny part is that I can use these predefined properties in my search scenario, but I'm not able to see the properties in my details > properties dialogue. Is there any special configuration that needs to be done in order to see these properties when one is using a Web Repository Manager?
I have configured a property group in "Property Structures"-configuration that contains all predefined properties and added this group to "all_groups". But still I dont see the predefined properties even though there must be something in them when I can use them in my search. And just to specify: I cannot see the predefined properties at all - its not just the content that is missing.
Any help will be rewarded!
Best regards,
Martin Søgaard

Web Repository

Hi,
I am trying to set up a web repository manager and have issues. I have created the http system, the web site and the web repository manager. I see it when I go to KM Content admin but cannot see any other information on the web site.
When I go to Knowledge Management -> Component Monitor, I see that in the repository manager I have created, the server has a red light saying error startup failed. Any idea how to fix that?
I haven't entered userID/PW in my http system as the web site doesn't require authentication. Am I right?
Thanks
Renaud

Thanks for the quick response, Renaud. I tried the Simple Web Repository Manager, and that doesn't work either -- same issue. We restarted our portal this morning after the configuration and still no luck. My next try will be creating the URL iView... however, since this is our QA portal environment, that will be a little more difficult to do on the fly.
Thanks again for your response. I posted a separate question with my problem to see if I receive any additional suggestions (and so I can award points!
Kindest regards,
Fallon

SOAP/Web service based repository manager

Hi,
We would like to implement a repository manager using SOAP/Web service messages to connect to the document store. The solution will have to support most opperations as the WebDAV repository manager supports. TREX has to be able to crawl for indexing/classification, but I guess that is not a problem.
Is the some information out there on creating repository managers like this, and how they tie in with ACL managers, cahces etc?

BOE integration in SAP NW Portal via repository manager and km content

Hi BO XI experts,
we try to synchronize a BO folder of BO InfoView through the KM Content in SAP Portal. Following the instructions of the book "Integrating SAP Business Objects XI 3.1 Tools with SAP NetWeaver", we
- installed the system under System Administration --> System Configuration --> System Landscape
- checked settings in the web.xml file
- integrated a Crystal Report through upload and apply of the par-file com.BusinessObjects.pct.masteriview.par
--> the iView for a specific report contained in the InfoView works fine
- integrated the par-file BusinessObjectsKM.par
- created a new Business Object Repository Manager through System Configuration --> Content Management --> Repository Managers --> Business Objects Repository with a new prefix
- went to Content Admin --> KM Content and tried to open the new repository with this prefix
Before upgrading our systems with EP 1 for NW 7 (and EP 4 for SAP ERP 6) this repository worked fine.
After this, we encounter the following error and cannot open InfoView content anymore:
System Error
An exception occurred during the program execution.
Exception Message: Your operation cannot be fulfilled due to a network problem, please try again.
Go back and try again
The SSO connection seems to work fine as the a single Crystal Report can still be opened through the iView.
Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
Carolin

Hello Ingo,
thank you very much for responding so quickly. Yes, I tried it with a new BO repository but without any changes. I also repeated the upload of BusinessObjectsKM.par - file.
I'm wondering about the result of my system connection test of the BOE system.
There I get the message:
Retrieval of default alias successful
Connection failed. Make sure that Single Sign-On is configured correctly
As the Crystal Report iView works correctly and therefore SSO is supposed to be installed properly, I do not understand why we receive this message. Could the problem, in spite of the crystal report working fine, lay in a uncorrect system configuration?
Before, when the repository worked properly, I did not verify the connection test.
The enhancement packages should not have had any impact on our BO installation.
Thank you for your help.
Carolin

Web Enterprise Manager Default Port Number in Oracle 9i

Enabeling Auditing on database 9.2.0.8
Web Enterprise Manager Default Port Number in Oracle 9i:
Does anyone know the default port number of the web enterprise manager (Oracle 9i)?
If I installed or configured enterprise manager and I forgot the port, where can I find it?

You must read the part in the Installation Documentation for certified repository databases to ensure that your database is OK.
My advice is always, never start any installation (not only Oracle) without reading the Documentation, Release Note and any README.
You will spend less time in the installation as Configuration if you use the required documentations for your platform.

LiveCycle Content Sevices ES used as a Web Content manager

Is it possible or was the product meant to be integrated as a Web Content Management system. I was reading through a powerpoint presentation that was done by Marcel Boucher and it appears that this functionality was removed and not replaced.
Does LC CM ES have this ability?

Content Services is still available, the underlying technology was changed to use CRX as the repository. If you need to store and retreive content that will still work. If you're looking for a full Web Content Management system then you may also want to look at Adobe Experience Manager.

DB type repository manager for information broadcasting?

I read some article which says only FSDB type of repository manager can be used for BI informaiton broadcasting. I want to broadcast to MOSS server, which uses IIS, but stores everything in database. Is there anyway to use DB or WSDL type repository manager for broadcasting?
Thanks
Jane Zhou

Where did you get this information from? Is there any document that states that? Below is the information I got, it says FSDB has to be used:
Can I use information broadcasting to distribute precalculated queries, Web applications, and workbooks to a third-party file server, Web server or document management systems?
Yes. With information broadcasting, you can precalculate queries, Web applications, and workbooks and publish them into the Knowledge Management of the SAP NetWeaver Portal.
In KM, you can easily create a Repository Manager (CM repository with persistence mode FSDB) that is attached to a file system directory (for example, the directory of an Internet Information Server (IIS)). You have to create a link in the KM folder of documents to the folder of the CM Repository attached to the file system or you can define your CM Repository as an entry point in KM. For more information, see SAP Note 827994 (SMP login required).
Information broadcasting can automatically put a new report on the third-party file server (for example, using the data change event in the process chain). KM offers repository managers for many different file servers, Web servers, and document management systems (such as IIS and Documentum):
1.                            Create CM Repository attached to file system.
2.                            Use iView KM Content to create subfolder in file system (optional).
3.                            Set permission to Administrator (optional).
4.                            Create link in /documents to folder of CM Repository attached to file system or define CM Repository as entry point. (See SAP Note 827994.)
5.                            Schedule Broadcasting Settings that export to a linked folder of CM Repository.
Because documents created via Information Broadcasting have additional attributes attached to them which mark them as broadcasted documents, it is not possible to store these kind of documents in a "pure" file system repository because such a repository usually only stores properties like "last changed", "creator", etc. Fortunately, KM provides a mechanism to nevertheless use a file system repository to store the documents. The additional properties will be stored in the database. Details are given here and here.
The "persistence mode" of the repository must be "FSDB" to allow this kind of behavior. Please note that because of the distributed storage of file and additional properties, the property assignment will be lost when moving around the document in the file system using some non-KM tool like windows explorer.
