WebDAV & cProjects/cFolders

I'm having a problem connecting via WebDAV to cProjects 4.0, but I can't find what steps I must have missed. We do not have Enterprise Portals installed.
The URL for cProjects is http://xxx.yyy.zzz:8001/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/cprojects
In SICF I've created an alias of default_host/cpr_webdav which refers to default_host/sap/cpro and have activated the service default_host/sap/cpro.
In the cprojects "Settings for webDAV" config I've set URL 1 to http://xxx.yyy.zzz:8001/cpr_webdav and ticked cProjects & cFolders.
I'm using 'My Network Places' -> 'Add Network Place' to connect to webDAV and I use http://xxx.yyy.zzz:8001/cpr_webdav as the network address. A login is requested and I enter my SAP UserID and Password (which is the same for all 3 clients on this system). I then get an error message 'The folder you have specified does not appear to be valid'.
I've also tried adding "?sap-client=xxx" to the end of the URL to force a specific client with the same result.
Are there any additional authorisation objects required?
Are there any prerequisite services which need to be enabled?
Have I missed any steps?
Thanks for any help as I'm tearing out what little hair I have left

Hello Paul,
you do not need the Enterprise Portal to be installed to use the WebDAV functionality.
The name SAP NetWeaver Portal drive is a little bit misleading.
It is called Portal drive, since it is the WebDAV client for the Knowledge Management (KM) of the portal also.
When using the SAP NetWeaver Portal drive with cFolders no portal is required as the SAP NetWeaver Portal drive acts also as WebDAV client for cFolders. The SAP NetWeaver Portal drive is a 3rd party WebDAV client from a company called XYTHOS (http://www.xythos.com/home/xythos/company/company.html), which can be used by SAP customers for free.
You can download the Installer for the SAP NetWeaver Portal drive from SAP Service Marketplace under http://service.sap.com/swdc
-> Download -> SAPSupport Packages and Patches -> Entry by Application Group
-> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NetWeaver2004s -> Entry by Component -> Frontend -> Portal Drive 4.4

Configuration Guide Cproject & Cfolders

Hi Experts,
Good Day !
Currently we are using SAP ECC 6.0 and want to implement cProjects/cFolders . I am looking for cFolders configuration guide which provides all the necessary details for cFolders set-up. (such as - how to create cFolders URL, System Connections u2013 setting up HTTP servers etc.. ).
Also I will be grateful if someone provides me a step-by-step procedure for cFolders implementation.
Eagerly waiting for your reply.
Thanks
Mairaj

cProjects and cFolders form the cProjects Suite solution, although both products can also be used independently. cProjects Suite provides extensive features to collaborate internally/externally with partners using a HTML-like interface and Web application technology.
Difference:cProjects is a project management tool and provides associated functionalities and is web based and hence can be accesses externally in an organisation. It follows a stage gate methodology and has better resource management functions. cFolders is complimentary to cProjects and useful for collaboratively sharing of project related information,documentation.
Config guides are available on help.sap.com:

Authorization in WebDAV for cFolders

Hi
I have autorization rules set for the collaboration folder structure from none to write to read etc.
In cFolders application for that user it all applies. But when I get the WebDAV URL in that user login, these authorizations is not applied. i.e. even folders which are set 'none' (not visible in cFolders application) are visible.
Is this the way WebDAV behaviour is or am I missing something?

Hello Senthil,
you can use WebDAV for two purposes:
a) maintenance of cFolders settings with special URL
b) to maintain documents in cFolders via the MS Windows Explorer using the SAP NetWeaver Portal Drive.
You do not need the Enterprise Portal to be installed to use the WebDAV functionality together with SAP NetWeaver Portal Drive.
The name SAP NetWeaver Portal drive is a little bit misleading.
It is called Portal drive, since it is the WebDAV client for the Knowledge Management (KM) of the portal also.

Cprojects / Cfolders new Install

We are planning a new installation of the Cprojects and Cfolders.
We are having a problem with the new names of the products and what material needs to be installed.
What we have planned is to install:
Netweaver 2004s ABAP only instance on the Iseries
Put CPRXRPM400 addon via SAINT
Then adding CPRXRPM_UI into our current 2004s Portal that is also used for our BI-JAVA on windows/SQL.
We are planning to put Content Server on MAXDB on its own Windows Server.
Does anyone know if we need any other products to install Cfolders/Cprojects. (New Product Development)
I found that CPRXRPM is included in Solman, SRM, SCM and CRM, are we way off base installing on its own server ABAP only?
Regards,
Brian

Hey Peter,
We are currently working on ECC 6.0 and having DMS in function.
Can you please suggest the best way the infrastucture should be set for the cFolders 4.5 and cProjects 4.5 (going for these two applications for the first time)
I have gone through some of the SAP notes, i.e. note : 1088160 - cProjects 4.5 FAQ note and the other related notes with that.
Full points on useful reply.

Unable to add XML files to genericObjects Folders using Webdav - cFolders

Hi All
I am not able to add XML files to genericObjects Folders using Webdav in cFolders
What could be the reason.. When I try to copy, it says "cant read from source file"
Regards,
Aby

Yes.. I downloaded the ECN.XML file from se80, edited and then used "Uplload and replace"..
Also I did the same thing to add some more vocabulary in the cfx text XML, so that it would reflect correctly to map with Additional attributes in the PDX profile.

WebDAV & cFolders 4.00

Hello All!!!
I'm novice at cFolders 4.00. Can anyone help me to solve such problem. I've configured a connection via WebDAV to cFolders 4.00. It works fine. But is it possible to access my Collaborative Scenarios and documents in cFolders via WebDAV? And how this can be done?
TIA, Vorobiev Mikhail

Sorry for my poor English
I tryed to explain what i mean.
I want to realize ability of Standards in cFolders - namely I mean following ability:
Extract of description cFolders "You can link objects that you created in any of the collaborations in cFolders (or imported from the back-end system) to another object in a Standards collaboration".
I try to link objects in collaborations to another object in a Standards collaboration, but i can`t do this. How to do this, how to link objects.

Documents in Cfolders?

When you create documents in Cfolders (3.1 not 4.0), what technology does it use? I am aware you can publish DMS documents to Cfolders and you can use KM to create documents in 4.0 with webdav but what technology is KM using to create documents and folders within Cfolders 3.1? Can you specify an external content repository for these documents like an HTTP content server?

Hello Athol,
for the creation of documents via TA CFE01/CFE02 or WEbDAV the cFolders APIs are used in the background:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ppm400/helpdata/en/30/cce8bf627db74fa531f89b9aed229f/frameset.HTM
For document creation CFX_API_DOC_CREATE is used.
The content server has to be defined in advance per user in cFolders:
For details see: chapter 7.3 Distributed Content Server: Overview in cFolders Configuration Guide:

Hello,
RTCCTOOL is making recommendations to maintain your system for service delivery, and these are not errors.
The red traffic light is not an error, it means the Note has not been downloaded, the yellow light means it has been downloaded but not applied, and green means it has been downloaded and applied.
Your component list is not complete as it is not listing the SP levels for all components.
Also keep in mind, if you did not use SNOTE to apply the Notes, but transported them, then RTCCTOOL will not know this, so if they have been transported, you would need to se tthe status manually in RTCCTOOL.
But you are showing as an exapmple ST-PI SAPKITLRD2 in your component list and RTCCTOOL is recomending ST-PI SAPKITLRD3. This is the curent version that is being recommended.
Do you really need to upgrade? I would recommend you do as patches contaim fixes, and you may or may not encounter the errors they fixed. However if you do encounter errors, you will need to upgrade, and support will recommend this be done.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Paul
