Windows File System Issue

I have a system built using Oracle text that worked fine until we moved some content to a Windows file server. The old system used a Unix system with a samba server sharing out networked files. This system is still available and the content indexes are fine. The new system, which uses shared Windows drives, just won't generate any indexes. The Windows box has wide open security - everyone has full access. The file links in my database work - I can select them and cut and paste them into explorer to open them. The code I use to create the indexes is exactly the same for both the Unix server and the Windows server, but it just doesn't index the Windows content.
Any thoughts?

Try starting the local database service as the local administrator user, as the default internal windows account has no rights to access a network drive.

Windows & File System Repository - security issues

Hello,
I got a strange behavior in EP 6 SP 2 using KM and Windows file systems. Here is the scenario:
- I created a Network Path and a File System Repository pointing to a Windows 2003 File System, following the portal help instructions. Both EP6 server and Windows 2003 server are in the same domain.
- according the KM Monitor, the repository is up and running
- the portal users can access their respectives folders in the file system after having their uids / passwords mapped in the user mapping option
- the portal is assuming the permissions (read & write & list folder & etc) from windows
So far it seemed to be everything ok - but after some tests we got the problem:
- user "A" has his uid/pwd mapped in portal, and read & write access to the file system "dept_folder". He can access the folder through a KM iview, with r/w privileges.
- user "B" has his uid/pwd mapped in portal, and ONLY read access to the file system "dept_folder". He can access the folder through an KM iview, with read privileges.
- and here comes the problem: if user "A" is logged, and user "B" replaces his uid by user "A" uid in the user mapping (only the uid, the password doesn't matter) he can access the file system "dept_folder" with the same privileges than user "A".
I looked in SDN, SAP Notes and SAP Portal Help trying to find an article related to this, no success so far. We have CM Patches 2 & 3 applied, and Patch 4 doesn't have any comment about this specific security problem.
Has someone already face this problem ? Or could be something wrong in my configuration ?
Rgds, and tks in advance
Fernando Cervantes

Hi David
The same occurred here, I think I know the reason. Let me just give you an overview of my configuration:
Network Path id          ccc-ccc1fs-drive_i
Description *           DRIVE I - CCC1FS Server
Network Path *
ccc1fs\Drive_I
Password           *********
Re-Enter Password      *********
User *           ccc\service
The user was provided by the Windows administrator and has full control for this folder.
File System Repository
Description                  File System drive_i CCC1FS Server
Prefix *                /ccc-ccc1fs-drive_i
Root Directory *           //ccc1fs/drive_i
Windows Landscape System      Windows
ACL Manager                Not set
Security Manager          W2KSecurityManager
The important here is the Security Manager configuration - it must be W2KSecurityManager, otherwise you will have the user permissions overrided by admin user permission. And you will need to configure a Windows system landscape too.
I hope this can help you...concerning the bosses, I got the same situation, I said the whole stuff would work fine
Rgds,
Fernando

Error in configuring Windows File System Repository

Hi All,
While trying to configure Windows File system repository we are getting the following error
1. Getting this error when we give
<ip address>\<shared folder name>
Startup Error: The localroot does not exist:
10.1.100.44\Shared_folder
2. Getting this error when we give
<ip address>
Startup Error: host is unkown in file path '
10.1.100.44' - invalid network path:
10.1.100.44
Could any one help in solving this issue.

Hi Chiluveru Sravanthi
According to the documentation, there is a difference between the path syntax for the repository manager and the network path. Did you pay attention to this difference when doing your configurations?
Network paths (Network Path)
Specifies the path to the Windows remote server.
The path consists of the IP address of the Windows remote server, and a path specification.
For example,
192.168.0.1share
Alternatively, you can enter the UNC name and path of the server, for example,
servershare.
SAP recommends that you specify the IP address, since you can then check the availability of the server more easily, using the ping command.
Note: It is not sufficient to enter the server name alone. Specifications in the form of c$ cannot be resolved either.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/63/7f283ac3d7c54b94964931fa1b4ed9/frameset.htm
File System Repository Manager (Root Directory)
This denotes the path to the root directory in the file system to which the repository manager is assigned.
If you want to integrate documents from a Windows system, this can be a drive letter (followed by a colon) or directory path on the local server or a remote server share (for example, //myserver/myshare/somedir).
If you are running your portal on UNIX and want to access the file system on another UNIX host, you must mount the required directory on the portal server.
Example path when using a UNIX system:
/usr/company/share
The repository manager is responsible for the specified directory and all its subdirectories.
Note that multiple repository manager configurations are not allowed to have the same subpath in their Localroot parameter.

PPP and PPPoE configuration are described in the [Network Administration Guide|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4555/modemtm-1] .
A WWAN device should appear as a serial device in the */dev/term* directory. The [Wireless Wide Area Network|http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=134] discussion group is probably the best place to get specific questions answered regarding your setup.

Using JMX for detecting changes in windows file system?

Can anybody help to find way to watch changes in windows file system.........Or say files are transfer in mounted drive i want to start access to those files as and when they come in drive.....do not wait while transferring all files ..

Hi,
JMX is a technology that will let a Java process expose information to a remote client application.
It doesn't define what information to expose, but simply how to make it available externally.
JMX per-se cannot be used to detect the kind of things you describe, but if you are able to detect them, JMX will help you making the information available to external applications.
Hope this helps,

Can see windows file system, its in the grub menu, can't load it.

Hello.
I can mount and access my window file system. I can also see it's entry in the grub menu, but I cannot load it.
I used os-prober to detect the windows installation and then install grub.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
This is my file system, just in case:
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name
1 2048 206847 100.0 MiB 0700 Microsoft basic data
2 206848 315121663 150.2 GiB 0700 Microsoft basic data

After you run
# grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
are there any errors during the mkconfig -o usually its says found this os then this os using os prober. Are you seeing all the os currently installed on your partitions?

Retrieving Windows File System Icons

I am building a tool similiar to windows explorer in Java 1.3.1
Does anyone know how to access the windows file system icons. I noticed that java 1.4 has a method in the FileView class called getSystemIcon(File f) to retrieve the icon. Does anyone know how to do this in 1.3.1 ?
Thanks,

I wrote a program that displays all of the UIManager properties in a table format. Try running it and clicking on the FileView tab.
http://www.discoverteenergy.com/files/ShowUIDefaults.java
Once you know which property you want to access, try something like this:
UIDefaults defaults = UIManager.getDefaults();
Icon computerIcon = defaults.getIcon( "FileView.computerIcon" );

URM Adapter for File System issue.

Hi, I am just starting out on using the URM Adapter for File System and I have a few questions about issues I am facing.
1. When I try to create multiple searches and map them to Folders/Retention Categories in URM, it does not work. I am able to map one search via one URM source to one Folder/Retention Category (without my custom attribute from question 1). However in Adapter’s Search Preview I am able to perform a search on the documents successfully. Would different searches require different URM sources in Adapter?
2. Does the adapter work with other Custom Attributes? I have added an attribute in addition and in the same way as "URMCrawlTimeGMT" is added in Oracle Secure Enterprise Search (I created a custom Document Service and Pipeline to add a metadata value) and in the URM Adapter’s config.properties file and when I create a search in Adapter based on the custom attribute, it does not map the documents into URM. I am however able to search the documents in Adapter’s Search Preview window with the custom attribute displaying correctly.
Any help with this topic would be really appreciated. Thank you.
Regards,
Amar

Hi Srinath,
Thanks for the response, as to your questions,
1. I am not sure how to enable Records Manager in adapter mode. But I am able to login to the Records Manager web page after starting it up through StartManagedWebLogic.cmd URM_server1.
2. The contents of the file system should be searchable in Records Manager, and should be able to apply retention policies to the documents in the file system, I do not need to have SES, but apparently the adapter needs to have SES as a pre requisite.
Upon further investigation I found that in the AGENT_DATA table the values being inserted were "User ID"(UA_KEY) and NULL(UA_VALUE), so I just made the UA_VALUE column nullable and I was able to pass that step. Is this the wrong approach to fix the issue.
Could you please let me know about enabling Records Manager in adapter mode, I am not able to find documentation online, I have been through the Adapter installation and administration guides. Thank you once again.
Regards,
Amar

File System issues in Flash Builder 4.7

We recently upgraded from Flash Builder 4.0 (and in one case, Flash Builder 4.5) to Flash Builder 4.7. We are using Team Foundation Server for collaboration. We've been having a number of issues, mostly with our file system:
After downloading a library from TFS, this library will sometimes disappear after downloading another library from TFS.
Also, after removing an association to a library, that library may disappear.
When adding additional libraries to source paths, we often find that the library is not acknowledged (errors when trying to use a member of that package)
After fixing some compiler errors reported in the source code, the Problems window does not always reflect this.
The compiler error icons in the left column do not always match the line of code it is next to.
Any experience or resolutions for these issues would be much appreciated.

Hi Blake,
In another page (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1056583), Adobe states that it will be possible to download 4.6 in alternative to 4.7, to still have the Design View. However, I have not seen such possibility yet.
I will not say that "real programmers don't use design mode". They do, if it works fine.
However, the Design View was not very useful for mobile projects, if you wanted to create an interface which, at run time, adapts to different screen estates.
It was very good to draw an initial mock-up, but only the simulator (and the device) can say how the app really looks like (if you want to know more, please have a look here: http://aliencoding.com/2013/02/22/adobe-flash-builder-4-7-has-no-design-view-is-it-blasphe my-no-but-the-software-contains-some-other-blasphemous-aspects/).
If you develop for desktop, then I agree the Design View lack is a real drag. I think Adobe should at least lower the price of the program, now that it's been scaled down for (I think) copyright issues (the Design mode relies on Flash professional components that was not donated to Apache).
I love this platform because it really saved my butt in cases of real fast devployment, BUT NOW it lacks support for Windows 8 that PhoneGap has...
Can we say... it is a legacy framework by now?

Mac Windows file system

I have a 500gb external hard drive that I'd like to use on both my mac and pc and I'm not sure what file system to format it in or what program i should use to format it with? I believe Fat 16 or 32, I'm not sure can be formatted with disk utility but there are file size limitations.

Is there a file system with no space limitations?
Every filesystem has some size limit, and FAT32 is the best of those which can be read and written by Mac OS X and Windows out of the box. Third party software is needed to use any of the others.

Firefox corrupts windows file system

Since upgrading to Firefox 32.0, my Acronis Backup stops with the error message
"Backup of file or folder c:\Users\Robert\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<Firefox.Profile>\Cache" failed. File or folder does not exists."
The problem no longer occurs after running chkdsk which implies a file system corruption, but it re-occurs when opening and closing Firefox.
Note that I use hibernation (i.e. I open and close the browser, hibernate, wake up and then note the file system corruption)

Yes, I have checked that the folder is not explicitly specified. Also, after running chkdsk, the backup runs successfully, even if the folder does not exist.
I have run some more tests, and am now very confident that this is indeed a bug.
Reproduction:
1) Start & Close Firefox
2) Run Backup --> Error
3) Create an empty folder named "Cache"
4) Run Backup --> OK
5) Start & Close Firefox --> Folder "Cache" is renamed to "Cache.Trash<Number>"
6) Run Backup -> Error
repeat as desired
I have found a temporary fix: When I remove the delete permission on my manually created "Cache" folder, Firefox does create a "Cache.Trash<Number>" folder, but cannot delete the Cache folder. The backup will run in this case.

Windows file sharing issues with Leopard

One of my clients has a Mac Mini server running Leopard with all updates installed. He has 2 Windows PCs in his office (1 XP and 1 Vista) and 1 MacBook Air running Leopard.
I created two folders in /Users/Shared and created a new full (standard) user account (SMB doesn't seem to like "share only" accounts). I turned off the OS X Firewall and set the two folders to be read/write shares for the new account I created. I turned on SMB sharing in Options.
On the Windows XP machine, I can read/write to the Mac Mini's shared folders just fine, however I cannot delete files for some reason. I always get an error saying the file is locked or I don't have permission to erase it. I tried moving the share folder to different locations, thinking it was a parent folder permission issue. No dice. It doesn't seem to matter who creates the file, I cannot delete it from the Windows computer. I can delete it fine from any Mac in the office.
Any ideas?

The default behavior for the /Users/Shared folder is that you can only delete files you put in the Shared folder - this is called the "sticky bit." ie: User A saves/moves a file into Shared, User B can read/write that file but cannot delete it, User A can read/write and delete. The sticky bit can be set via Terminal.
