Permission Security in Generated Files

Once a project is generated - can there be imbedded security
so that only certain "groups" can view a topic/set of topics? This
would be used so that only one project needed to be created, rather
than multiple for special circumstances.

Hi Christy
If you are deploying WebHelp, your Web Admin folks can assign
security and restrictions to certain folders. This would prevent
those without proper credentials from seeing what they shouldn't.
If it's a .CHM, there really isn't an easy way to do it.
Cheers... Rick

Downloading Captivate generated files

Hello,
My organization would like to make our training content
available to users for downloading to their local machines. How can
I make this possible, considering our training website publishes
links of the generated htm file instead of the swf? Please note
that we would like the Captivate output to remain as htm (instead
of swf).
Thanks,
MM

You're correct that Captivate files are not intended to be
run offline except via the .EXE option. Even then, the .EXE is
truly standalone and doesn't support any of the results tracking
options found in the Quiz Manager.
The main reason HTML is not good for offline use is that any
HTML file with embedded Javascript and Flash (as is the case with
Captivate-generated files) is typically considered "dangerous" by
both the browser and Flash Player security settings when run
locally. This can lead to some functionality being disabled, so
unless you do a LOT of testing with users, I wouldn't recommend
running HTML files from anywhere but a web server.
That said, Rick's suggestion of using .ZIP is probably your
only good option. Not a great one, but as good as it gets.
It assumes that your users either all have some sort of
Zip-compatible decompression software (like WinZip) or are using
Windows XP SP2, which has crude Zip file support built-in. It also
assumes that they unzip ALL the files into a given directory and
don't try to run the HTML file directly from the Zip, which may or
may not work depending on the method used to open the Zip
file.

Error deploying ejb on generated files

Hi,
I am trying to deploy an ear with several ejbs in it, however the deployment fails since there are errors on the generated files for an specific. The error in the logs is:

How to delete the Generated files from application server(open hub)?

hi experts,
when i try to execute process chain the DTP it is giving below dump. Exception CX_RSBK_REQUEST_LOCKED logged.
when i execute the DTP manually and trying to delete the previous request, it is giving for dump ITAB_DUPLICATE_KEY.
so to delete the generated file from application server, how to delete it for specific dates?
Information on where terminated
Termination occurred in the ABAP program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM" - in
"START_ROUTINE".
The main program was "RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS ".
In the source code you have the termination point in line 2874
of the (Include) program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM".
The program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM" was started as a background job.
and when i check the dump it is point out at below code
" Populate the lookup table for 0STOR_LOC
SELECT * from /BI0/TSTOR_LOC
into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table L_0STOR_LOC_TEXT
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE
STOR_LOC = SOURCE_PACKAGE-STOR_LOC.
but the programme is syntactically correct only.
how to rectify the issue.
regards
venuscm
Edited by: venugopal vadlamudi on Sep 28, 2010 1:59 PM

hi experts,
We have written start routine to get the storage location text and sending to File located at Application server through OPEN HUB.
here is the code written in the Transformations
In the global section
Text for 0STOR_LOC
    DATA: l_0stor_loc_text TYPE HASHED TABLE OF /bi0/tstor_loc
          WITH UNIQUE KEY stor_loc.
    DATA: l_0stor_loc_text_wa TYPE /bi0/tstor_loc.
and in the code to get the text
" Populate the lookup table for 0STOR_LOC
    *SELECT * from /BI0/TSTOR_LOC*
      into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table L_0STOR_LOC_TEXT
      FOR ALL ENTRIES IN SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE
              STOR_LOC = SOURCE_PACKAGE-STOR_LOC.
im sure there is problem with the Routine only. i think i need to change the code if so please provide me the modified one.
thanks

How Do RoboHelp 9 WebHelp Generated Files Handle Map IDs and Aliases?

The text below was written by our team's developer/architect. I am the help author who uses RoboHelp to write content and generate the help files, but I am clueless how it all gets generated and is deployed. Please help. We use RoboHelp 9. I use it in Windows XP and our app and help run on IE 7, 9, and Firefox (multiple versions).
"Our application uses the numeric identifiers associated with the Map ID. For example, to get to the <appname>_home_page.htm file, we use the number 1053. <appname> = pecs, in this example.
All of this is used in a call to a RoboHelp method defined in the RoboHelp_CSH.js file. The mehtod we are calling is the RH_ShowHelp() JavaScript method and the code to perform the call, when you click on Page Help, is this:
RH_ShowHelp(0, ''/pecsHelp/index.htm>pecsHelp',HH_HELP_CONTEXT,topic);
Topic is translated to the Map ID number for the page help. HH_HELP_CONTEXT is defined in the RoboHelp_CSH.js file. This method translates into a URL and from what I have seen, the URL that gets generated is this:
http://{server}[:port]/pecsHelp/index.htm/{server}[:port]/pecsHelp/index.htm#<id=1053>>pecsHelp
Server and port get replaced with the appropriate values. I have no clue how id=1053 is supposed to get translated to mean "pecs_home_page.htm". If you check the PECS_help.h file, you will see the following entry:
#define PECS_Home_Page1 1053
Then in the RoboHelp alias file (PECS 3.0.ali), the following line is in the file:
<alias name="PECS_Home_Page1" link="pecs_home_page.htm"> </alias>
But both of these files are used during the WebHelp generation process and I don't know how the WebHelp generated files handle the Map ID and aliases."

You need to assign the numbers you find in the pecs_help.h file to topics in your help. You do this in Context Sensitive Help > Map Files > All Map IDs. (From RH7, but I assume the location is similar in RH9.) This creates the entries in the .ali file.
Peter Grainge suggests a couple of sites to read for a greater understanding here:
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/using_map_ids.htm
(Although the second site is based on RH X5, the basic concepts and procedures should be very similar. )

Unable to open document. Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file.

System:
Adobe Acrobat X Pro, 10.1.2
Windows 7 Enterprise, 32-bit
Quad Core badass CPU
4GB RAM
MS Word 2010 (Office 2010)
I installed the latest version as Administrator and am running as Administrator. I have all rights to all files on the PC.
When I attempt to create a PDF from any Word document, whether .DOC or .DOCX, I get an error window every time:
"Unable to open document:"
"[document location]"
"Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file."
This happens after the little notice pops up "Starting the application which created the document...."
If I open Word and create PDF from the ribbon, it works. It still won't allow me to create from Acrobat.
It creates PDFs from Excel files but not DOC files. I've searched for solutions but found none. I did find this from July of 2011:
"I have found out from Adobe technical support that this is a known issue with Office 2010 SP1 installed. This is an FYI for anyone else experiencing this issue, remove SP1 and it will work ok. They said an update to correct this issue will be coming within the next quarter."
I have updated to the latest version 10.1.2 and still have this problem.
This is a major issue, because it also fails on batch conversions, which is what I really need for the 100 or so documents that need to be PDFed. I'm not going to open each individual file and save each one from within Word.
This is a KNOWN ISSUE at Adobe, and if you look through the forums you'll find many people having this problem, and so far, I have not seen any solution.
If anyone has found the solution, please post it here.
Thanks!

I think I found a solution. It seems to be relatet to normal.dotm.
In our environment we have upgraded from XP & Office 2003 to Win7 and Office 2010. Normal.dot is stored on the users home share. When Office 2010 is started for the first time (for a user) it takes some of the old stuff from normal.dot and puts it in the new normal.dotm. When this happens, we get this error in Acrobat X.
The solution is to rename both normal.dot and notmal.dot to e.g. normal.dot.old and normal.dotm.old. Office/Word 2010 will then create a new, "clean" normal.dotm.
(By the way, if you are in a corporate environment, you might have changed the default path to normal.dot in Office group policies. You can see it here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\14.0\common\general\usertemplates)
I would be interested in knowing exactly why/what in normal.dotm caused this error. I can provide you (Adobe) with a faulty normal.dot(m), if you're interested.

I installed elements 12 on a Win 8.1 computer and moved all my photos from my old XP machine. I updated to elements 12.1. Now, many/most of my photos will not open because I do not have "permission" to open the files. How do I fix this so I can work with MY photos?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

Error while collecting files in AE CS3 - You do not have permission to open this file (-54)

I've got a rather large project that I'm attempting to collect. 35,000+ files to collect (lots of image sequences as footage), totaling near 80GB. The collect process starts and copies files for a while, but inevitably errors out during the copy procedure with the error "You do not have permission to open this file" -- a different file each attempt.
I'd read some complaints of a similar error last year due to QT 7.4, but I'm on the current Quicktime (7.6.4).
Anyone seen this before? What can I do!? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Imaginary Forces

Well, we're just a small shop, but since it usually falls upon me to administrate, here's a few general tips:
Hide all resources that are not meant to be accessed by certain people. This can be done easily by using different sub-nets on your network and defining access privileges. Write down the network MAC addresses and use a whitelist/ blacklist. A bit of work initially, but a lot safer than working with user names.
Forget about individual user privileges. At one point or another everyone will bump into situations where they cannot access stuff, but need it for their work. Simply ramp up all users to Power User status, but assign individual groups to them which only you can manage. That leaves it up to you to define who can access what, but without having to dig so deep that you always end up with individual adjustments. You merely add or remove users from groups (which is more practical for interns and freelancers, even)
Quota can do miracles for you. If a user only has x GB of storage available, he'll quickly learn to not create redundant data by copying files.
Prevent all local storage. Artists have a tendency to offline files at whim for experimentation and then forget about it. Give them a "garbage dump" directory on the server instead where they can store their private data and any non-persistent work files, but with quota. Use server-side desktops and user home directories, if possible, but unfortunately many programs cause problems with that (including Adobe's), so it's not always an option.
For each new project, create a pre-defined folder structure. We e.g. use number_clientname_worktype_year for the root, and inside have directories for compositing, 3D stuff, print, client data etc.. Define it so from the getgo, that specific structures like project directories for 3D programs with their sub-folders for textures etc. are in place, but users cannot create additional folders. When they are forced to use existing folders, they will be much more careful in naming their files.
Define versioning rules and naming conventions. Now "siginificant milestone" is a matter of view, but I at least try to create new version files for that. So if e.g in the morning I open up a comp project and change a few things in it that take more than 10 minutes to reproduce, this is significant and a new version is safed. I don't care much for simple things like adding effects - I can reproduce them in a wee in case of crashes or data loss - but complex masking, elaborate 3D modeling, dynamics simulations etc. qualify.
Of course back up every day, at least incrementally. If following the above rules, this can be as easy as copying the project folder to an external disk.
As for the rest - simply be hard-nosed. Your artists will whine and complain for a while, but they will get used to it and eventually see the wisdom in a regulated system. It's also up to you to brief them accordingly and remind them from time to time.

After Effects error: opening movie - you do not have permission to open this file (-54)

Hi all,
I'm new to after effects. I have just started receiving the following error every time I try to render my movie:
"After Effects error: opening movie - you do not have permission to open this file (-54)".
Yesterday morning, I was able to render movies, however, after I did Apple's latest update I've started receiving the following error. What is happening is that I'm trying to render a movie. It gets to a certain point in the movie (about 0;00;16;09) and then this error pops up. This morning I've tried to repair the permissions with disk utility, but that doesn't seem to have helped.
I've searched Google and the Adobe support forums with no luck. Please help.
Thanks in advance for you help,
William

Have been able to downgrade to QT 7.3 using Pacifist. Did NOT require re-install of OS.

Now that I am back to QT7.3, iTunes7.6 is now asking me to update QT to 7.4 in order to be able to view the new movie rental feature of the iTunes store... which sorta sheds some light on the no permission error. Now that iTunes is renting, not just selling, movies, QT is now all fussy about ownership and permissions. Just a guess.

Do not have permission to open a file.

I don't have permission to open a file, what is mine and I am the administrator of my macbook.
It shows this when it want to change my settings to Read and Write:
Fetching... but it doesn't get my account.
The Staff en Everybody doesn't work either.
It still remains locked.

Select the text on the line below by dragging across it. Don't include the blank space at the end of the line. Only the text should be highlighted.
ls -Oeln
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V, then press the space bar.
Now switch to the Finder and and select the item in question. Drag into the Terminal window. More text will be added to what you entered.
Click in the Terminal window to activate it, then press return.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear. Post any lines that appear below that line—the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then quit Terminal.
If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting.

Can I force my computer to ignore the fact that it doesn't have 'permission' to change certain files and compress them anyway?

I'm trying to compress everything on my external USB hard disk using the File> Compress Items option in the Finder. However, every time I try this, it thinks for a little while and then tells me it can't do it because it doesn't have 'permission' to edit such-and-such a file. I have gone into the 'Get Info' panel for the hard disk and tried changing the permissions to read & write for my own account, 'staff', and 'everyone', checked the checkbox for 'Ignore ownership on this volume', and chosen 'Apply to enclosed items...' from the little gear/cog menu under 'Sharing & Permissions' section of the 'Get Info' panel. I have also tried sending the problematic files to the trash, but every time I do so, when I select 'Compress items' again, it just finds more files that it doesn't have 'permission' to edit. I cannot 'repair disk permissions' from disk utility, and when I select 'repair disk', it says that there is nothing wrong.
There is no reason that I shouldn't have 'permission' to edit these files. They are all my own documents and photos etc, or ones that have been downloaded from the internet. The computer is not connected to any kind of network, and there is only one user account on the computer, which is an 'administrator' type account.
My question is -- how do I bypass this 'permissions' problem? Is there a way to 'force' compress, like when there is a problem emptying the trash and you can choose to 'Force Empty Trash'?
Thanks in advance for any aid or advice,
lsrw.

You caant get the'a from he'a.
You could have it wake at 2:55 and then shutdown at 3:00 but then it won't wake in the morning.
Not shure why you want to shut down instead of sleep. It uses only a small amount energy sleeping with the display off. It would probably use more energy to have it wake up in the morning before you get there than to have it sleep all night.
If you are having battery issues you should replace the battery. I have seen it stated elsewhere in this community as batteries go bad they can damage the system. Your's might not be near that state but you should consider replacing it.
With it plugged in there should be no difference in the charge on the battery whether it is sleeping or shutdown. It charges in both states and maintains a full charge while plugged in.

Why do i not have permission to view a file on my mac?

Back up all data. Quit Preview if it's running.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following items, if they exist:
Caches/com.apple.Preview
Containers/com.apple.Preview
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Preview.savedState
Launch the application and test.

How I can know if a user has the permission to read a file or not ?

Hello,
I have other question :
How I can know if a user has the permission to read a file or not ?

I don't think common operating systems have an easy way to do that check.
If you have a limited number of files, implement access control yourself, instead of using operating system permissions. E.g. write a configuration file that contains:
# Syntax: "filename": "list of users who can access that file"
somefile.txt: fred, alice, bob
somedir/anotherfile.txt: bob, joe
Read in the configuration file and check against it when a file is being requested.

Hi, I have a macbook pro with a new hard drive installed. My WD external drive backup on time machine now wont let me access the files. I get a prompt saying 'you do not have permission to access the files'

hi, I have a macbook pro with a new hard drive installed and restored. My WD external drive backup on time machine now wont let me access the files. I get a prompt saying 'you do not have permission to access the files' After my new drive was installed I plugged in time machine and it started backing up. I paused it when I realised that it was running for more than a few minutes. I now realise that it probably started backing up the new hard drive all over again. Which makes me think that the original back up must be on the WD back I cant seem to access it. Any ideas would be helpful.
