Teamsite websphere commerce integration - content-management-system

Is there any high level document related integrating Interwoven HP TeamSite CMS and IBM WCS 7 Aurora Store? Or the pros and cons of doing so?

There are two methods to integrate CMS into WebSphere Commerce. One is using the dataload tool to monitor an RSS feed (or some other XML type). Another is to use the CMS punch out capability. Typically most business partners and IBM team have assets for this integration. I would contact them.

There should not be any high level document but there are pdfs in which I think you will be able to find your solutions.
These are the pdf's and list of keywords you should refer:
TeamSite_Aura-mart_TechNote_en.pdf
TeamSite_AdminGuide_en.pdf
Keywords : "Clusters or Microsoft clusters in Teamsite" OR "WCM Architecture"
Hope this is helpful!

Is SAPJCo specific to a SAP installation or can be reused between different SAP Boxes?

I'm trying to connect to a SAP system using SAP JCo. Our client is taking long time to download and give the SAP JCo. Is SAP JCo dll and Jar specific to a SAP Box or can be used across different boxes? Can I use a SAP JCo downloaded using SAP ID registered in our SAP Box and use it?
Note that the redistribution of the connector is not allowed by SAP.
-> if you develop an application for a customer, this customer has to download and provide you the JCO lib for his SAP installation.
See : https://support.sap.com/en/product/connectors.html
SAP JCo is library which can be used to communicate with any SAP on-premise system that supports SAP's RFC protocol. This is comparable to a database vendor specific JDBC driver.
Just provide the logon credentials and connect to any available system of this type.
You can find further general information about the SAP Java Connector here:
https://support.sap.com/jco
(Much appreciate trixx's suggestion in the comments; I am editing this reply to directly answer op's question instead of giving general statement)
SAPJco is not specific to an SAP installation. Assume you have a valid S-ID to access SAP software download page ("Connector" section) to download the JCO file. Once you download it, you can start with some simple examples. Here is one blog for reference.
(original reply was:
Your best bet would be to search in Google through keywords like "SAP JCO sample" to read some very basic examples, and try to practice from them. Once you start to get used to the design pattern, you can blend your requirement in and become productive. It is not difficult to get started. Keep learning and practicing. )

SAP BO 4.1 Auditing without Universes

Morning all,
I have recently deployed Crystal Reports 2013 and Crystal Server 2013 in a test environment, as we are currently using the 2008 version of both products.
As this deployment is in a test environment; I am keen to implement and try out as much as possible to implement the best solution as possible.
One of the things I have enabled is Auditing. Once set-up I went looking for the best way to utilise this but everything seems to allude to needing a Universe creation tool (Information Design Tool) which I don't have and can't obtain, as our SAP products are provided via a third party and we don't have access to the BI Client Tools.
So I'm back to trying to figure this all out via custom Crystal Reports.... I've read plenty of articles, one which provided me with the links needed between the Database Tables, but there don't seem to be any articles on what tables etc to use.
Has anybody done this?
Thanks in advance for any help, I'm tearing my hair out at the minute!
Direct RBMS access
Have a look at the official SAP documentation (I'm using the BusinessObjects manuals, but information in them should apply to Crystal Server as well), more specifically the Business Intelligence platform Administrator Guide (SP doesn't really matter, auditing doesn't tend to change much within a major release).
There are two sections that are important for you:
The Auditing chapter, more specifically the section regarding Audit events.
The Auditing Data Store Schema Appendix, which contains all the detail regarding the audit schema you could need.
Using a universe
Have a look at the SCN blog post Unlock the Auditing database with a new Universe and Web Intelligence Documents for BI4.1. It contains a download link to an LCMBIAR file which you can import into your BI4 environment, without the need for a universe client tool. There's also a webinar and documentation available. The prebuilt WebI documents should save you a lot of time.
Requirements:
BI Platform BI 4.1 Support Pack 5 or greater for the Web Intelligence Documents
BI Platform BI 4.1.x for the Audit database to be queried
Instructions:
Download the content (take the highest build numbered zip file)
Import one of the five 'Universe' LCMBIAR files into your system using Promotion Management (it will go into BI Platform Auditing folder)
Import the Web Intelligence LCMBIAR file (it will go into BI Platform Auditing folder)
Edit the connection that is imported (in BI Platform Auditing folder) with the correct login credentials.
Open the Web Intelligence document STA1 - Start here - Events over time.wid as your starting point!
The only issue might be with step 4, where you need to edit your connection. I don't know if you'd be able to edit the imported connection through the Crystal Reports application?

What data/service is where?

What management tools (open source or otherwise) are there to track the location of data, the services that deliver/use that data and the services themselves. If you believe the snake oil a combination of DB, ESB and SOA will deliver anything anywhere, but how do you know what's where. BTW I'm not interested at the WSDL level, I'm thinking of a tool that the users/BA community would populate and use.
A combination of SOA and Database is now the bedrock of most applications, however what used to be called Data Dictionaries, and would now be Service Catalogues? or MetaData repositories still seem to live in purely DataCentric world.
Software AG's CentraSite.
Disclosure: I work for Software AG :)
There are public and Enterprise service repositories for this.

Choosing a Portal / CMS software for developing multi brand websites?

We are in the early stage of overhauling a multi-brand website built using a custom developed java mvc framework to enable web 2.0 features. Built-in features we are looking at are: i18n, sso, content search and indexing, personalization, mashup support, ajax support, rich media content storage and management support, friendly to search engine optimizations, bookmarkable URLs, support for social networking sites, support for page composition and decoration using templates.
A combination of these features are supported by many portal and cms software.
Any insights will be very helpful in using a portal/cms combination to address this requirements!
This is a follow-up on this post focusing on the portal/cms angle
we are developing the same sort of thing, we are using Umbraco, open source, by far the best opensource we have come across
Joomla comes to mind. The ability to skin and implement templates is a core strength of the product. You can create channels of content as well as enable varying levels of user customization via roles.
Another nice feature is that you can export your changes to your template. that way you can port your changes easily from QA to a customer site.
Finally, there is a very active community of extension developers with customizations, as well as numerous template designers.
If you require a Portal that does integrate with your CRM such as Salesforce and yet allows you to build a Mobile-Optimized branded portal for Customers, Partners or any other groups of users you can check out Magentrix:

I will appreciate any help to choose between them.
Thanks in advance
I have not much experience with Nuxeo, but here is for Alfresco:
1.If possible DMS should be open source
Yes.
2.Initially DMS should support up to 500 users
Yes, if you have a good server.
3.System should be scalable in sence od users or content
Yes.
4.Docuemtns/Content should be stored on a file system
Yes. Only metadata is stored in a database.
5.Document should be able to be marked for later destruction
The free Records Management module has retention capabilities.
6.Mandatory to have workflow capabilities
Yes.
7.Mandatory to have version control capability
Yes.
8.Nice to have SSO(Single Sign On) with Liferay portal
Yes.
9.Nice to have posibility to expose some of funccionality via portlets in Liferay
Alfresco and Liferay work very well together.
10.Document management should be done via the web interface
Yes.
11.Nice to have shared drive capability
Yes.
12.Nice to have events and notifications about add/change content
Not sure about this one. The Share module has this feature, but not sure about the main DM application.
Don't know the Nuxeo system, but we are using Alfresco as a document storage and session server. We have our own GUI and only use it as a back-end system. So far we had no problems. Plus Alfresco has a nice REST interface which makes it easy to integrate into any existing system.
