Adobe Drive 2 and Alfresco CMIS in virtual PC

0. MS virtual PC with windows XP started
1. alfresco 3.3. installed and started in the virtual-pc image
2. adobe drive installed and started in the virtual-pc image
3. enter the URL cmis://[IP-ADDRESS]:8080/alfresco/service/cmis

    although http://[IP-ADDRESS]:8080/alfresco/service/cmis
    in a browser gives a XML-answer
What could I do to get Adobe Drive 2.0. running in virtual PC?

Hi,
If you want to use alfresco CMIS server, please download the Adobe Drive 2 installer @ http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/drive2.html, this installer includes CMIS connector for connecting alfresco server.
If you download Adobe Drive 2 installer from Adobe.com (http://www.adobe.com/products/versioncue/downloads/index.html), it doesn't contain CMIS connector.
Currently, Adobe labs provides the Adobe Drive 2.0 773 build for your download, but we will update it to 796 GM build(including CMIS connector) soon.
Thanks,
Zhiqiang

Adobe Drive and Alfresco Enterprise Fails to Check-in With Custom Content Types

Hello all,
I've been struggling with some drive limitations over the last few weeks as we try to utilize the CMIS connector to Alfresco. I am currently testing with Adobe Drive 3.2.0.41 and Alfresco 4.0.1 Enterprise but have tested this behavior with Drive 4.0.2.6 paired with Alfresco 4.1.1.3 and seen the same behavior:
The issue I am seeing is that I am unable to Check in a new document into the repository when there is a rule set up to apply a custom content type from our model. After entering my check-in comment and pressing OK, I get an unknown error from Bridge, InDesign, or Photoshop. It works fine if I do not specialize our type with a rule (leaving the content as cm:content). The error I recieve in Alfresco is: org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.CopyServiceException: The source and destination node must be the same type.
I understand that this might be a limitation of Drive and Alfresco working together, but I just wanted to see if anyone had any experience with this issue or any potential workaround, since it is pretty limiting for alfresco to not have any non OOTB content types.
Thanks, your help would be appreciated.

Adobe Drive CC still has this issue. I can dra-n-drop a .PSD into Alfresco 4.2 and it will work perfectly - unless I use Adobe Drive to edit and check-in the file.

Guide to connect Adobe drive with Alfresco CE

Hallo everybody!
Since adobe remove version cue, i search for a replacement. Can somebody please write a short guide how to configurate Alfresco CE to optimal work with adobe drive? Its drive me creasy, bljad! I think, i am not alone with this problem. Feel free to write here everethink, you found about it. Together we find a solution, i think.
The interest were (after connect Adobe drive to Alfresco CE):
- how configurate the space, where Alfresco CE saving the files ?
- how to set permissions to Alfresco CE drive to chek in the files from adobe programms?
- in bridge i cannot see the thumbnails of files (only the standart thumbs, maby it has something to do with the permission rights?)
- how can thomebody else from anywhere connect to Alfresco Cmis that is locally on my pc, like earler in versioncue, to callobarate)
Thanks to everybody for suggestions and help!
Adobe drive 2.1
Alfresco CE 3.4

Hi Borisbritva,
To work with Adobe Drive, you just need to install and launch Alfresco CE server. No special configuration.
Section 'Using the CMIS Connector' in CMIS CONNECTOR FOR ADOBE DRIVE 2.1: TECHNICAL NOTE doc shows the detailed steps on how to connect Alfresco server with Adobe Drive 2.1. Below is the link for the tech note:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/creativesuite/cs/adobedrive/CMIS_Connector_Tech_Note.pdf
For "how configurate the space, where Alfresco CE saving the files ?" & "how to set permissions to Alfresco CE drive to chek in the files from adobe programms?", I think you need to read Alfresco Document ( http://www.alfresco.com/resources/documentation/ ). For simply try, use admin account to connect Alfresco Server with Adobe Drive. CMIS CONNECTOR FOR ADOBE DRIVE 2.1: TECHNICAL NOTE doc gives the detail info about how to browse, check in, and check out files.
For "in bridge i cannot see the thumbnails of files (only the standart thumbs, maby it has something to do with the permission rights?)", Adobe Drive 2.1 with CMIS connector doesn't support it. But Adobe Drive has exposed API to retrieve thumbnails of files. If you have interest, you can download Adobe Drive SDK ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/adobedrive/eula_21.html ) and try it.
For "how can thomebody else from anywhere connect to Alfresco Cmis that is locally on my pc, like earler in versioncue, to callobarate)", Adobe Drive 2.1 with CMIS connector support it. Just replace 'localhost' with you external IP address in Server URL when connect to Alfresco server.
Thanks,
Hui

We are using CS 5.5. If I update to OS 10.9 can I download the latest version of Adobe Drive and have it work with CS 5.5?

Adobe Drive 2 and Alfresco CMIS interface problems

Hi,
we are currently testing Drive2 with the 3.3 Release of Alfresco. Connection, reading and writing towards Alfresco via AD2 is stable and showing good performance.
Sadly, checking in files created via AD2 fails with an Error on the Alfresco side whenever we try to execute check in from AD2 (on Windows clients as well as Macs). As the check in is not possible, files are added to the repository bute cannot be seen by any other users.
Although the error is on the Alfresco side, the log suggests that AD2 may be calling methods on the Alfresco side twice or in the wrong sequence or context.
Here's a clipping from the log:
8:17:31,712 ERROR [org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.AbstractRuntime] Exception from executeScript - redirecting to status template error: 08080005
Wrapped Exception (with status template): 08080183 Failed to execute script 'classpath*:alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/cmis/children.post.atom.js
': Duplicate child name not allowed: A0122610_gb.jpg
Can anyone advise how we can come around this or find a solution for this problem ?
Kind regards,
dimgy.

Hi dimgy,
Can you tell us the exact Adobe Drive build number and Alfresco version?
For Alfresco, please tell us the download filename and file date. It would be better if you can give the download URL. We have submitted several bugs to Alfresco. Some had been fix and others are still in progress. So we need to know the exact version.
Regards,
Guo Wei

Adobe Drive and Adobe Premiere

Is it possible and/or practical to use Adobe premiere with Adobe Drive to work with content from a DAM system?

Adobe Drive does not have integration code in Premiere as PS, AI or ID, so you can not check in or check out a file from Premiere. However, Adobe Drive can still mount the DAM server as a local drive, and you can use check-in/check-out from OS explorer or Finder.

Developing: Endless loop in Adobe Bridge with and Adobe Drive CMIS Connector

Hi
Currently I’m implementing a CMIS-Server for the dam system of my company, using the apache chemistry framework. One of the main requirements is that adobe drive works with it.
At the moment I implemented only the navigation services (getChildren, getObject, …) and the repository services and test them against adobe drive. It’s already possible to navigate through folders and read assets with ad4 and the finder. So 3 days ago I installed adobe bridge (CS6) and test my server again.
My test environment is very easy.
root(1 object)->test1(0 objects; empty)
First I’m opening my repository with adobe drive and then I switch to bridge and connect it. Bridge shows me the folder test1 with no errors. So I double-click it and now bridge is in an endless loop. The notification switch between ‘Keine anzuzeigenden Elemente’(No elements to show) and ‘Einen Moment bitte, die Suche läuft …’(Searching, please wait …). This only happens in bridge. When I open the folder with the finder it just works, without the loop.
So I logged all requests, which were send by adobe drive, and get this list.
Connecting with adobe drive
getRepositoryInfos
getTypeChildren (null) -> all basetypes
getTypeDecendants (cmis:document)
getTypeChildren (null) -> all basetypes (Why two times?)
getTypeDecendants (cmis:document) (Why two times?)
getRepositoryInfos (Why two times?)
getObjectByPath (/.hidden)
getObjectByPath (/.hidden)
getObjectByPath (/.hidden) (Why so often?)
getObjectByPath (/DCIM)
getObjectByPath (/mach_kernel)
getObjectByPath (/.Spotlight-V100)
getObjectByPath (/.metadata_never_index)
getObjectByPath (/.metadata_never_index_unless_rootfs)
getObjectByPath (/.metadata_never_index)
getObjectByPath (/mach_kernel)
getObjectByPath (/.metadata_never_index_unless_rootfs)
getChildren (cmis:folder,0) (rootfolder) returning only one element (test1)
getObjectParents(cmis:folder,127) (test1) returning the rootfolder
getObjectByPath (/.hidden)
getObjectByPath (/mach_kernel) …
Open the Cmis repository in bridge and doubleclick the repository
getChildren (cmis:folder,0) (rootfolder) returning only one element (test1)
getObjectParents(cmis:folder,127) (test1) returning the rootfolder
Then I double click the test1 folder
getObject(cmis:folder,127)(test1)
getChildren(cmis:folder,127) -> empty list
… (endless loop)
I already checked getObject and getChildren against a reference implementation (FileShare Repository of apache Chemistry) and it returns exactly the same structure. Only the name and the timestamps are different. So my second though was to check the repository capabilities and as well they are both equal. Now I’m a little bit desperate because I spend already 3 days in try and error bugfixing but nothing worked. So here are my questions.
Is there a logfile for bridge because I thing this refreshing happens after an exception. I already checked the adobe drive log and it contains only asset not found errors for (e.g mach_kernel …).
In which circumstances does bridge reloads a folder?
Debugging of adobe drive: I already read http://forums.adobe.com/message/3928595 but it doesn’t work in AD4 any more, I only get info/error/fatal messages.(I changed the log4j config files in AD4ServiceManager.) Does something changed or did I forget something?
Why does AD4 make 2 or more times the exact same request? (Look table above).
I hope my English is good enough to understand.
Thanks

After two months I'm a little bit smarter so I can answer some of my question by my own.
No there is no logfile for bridge, but I was able to debug the scriptcode from the ad plugin, which is installed in bridge.
If an error occures in the plugin
I was able to decompile the cmis connector. That helps a lot when ad logs with weird exceptions.
Because AD maps the actions of the filebrowser(finder,explorer) to cmis and this one does sometimes the exact action two or more times.
Unfortunately is wasn't able to fix my main problem, but I found a workaround to use cmis in bridge. I deactivated the ad plugin in bridge and after that action, bride display the cmis volume as normal volume. Sadly some actions like to manage relationships etc. are with this workaround not usable but for me this is alright.

Corruption in text files retrieved through Adobe Drive on Mac

I am running an OpenCMIS based CMIS server on Mac. When viewing text files retrieved from the CMIS repository through Adobe Drive, there is nontextual content appearing at the end of the file. XCode, for example, ends up displaying this content as a variable number of '¿' characters. This is not just a visual problem as file comparisons between a file retrieved through Adobe Drive and the same file retrieved through other means detect the files as being different.
This is only happening with text files. Binary comparison of nontext files retrieved through Adobe Drive and files retrieved through other means detect the files identical.
This only occurs when the CMIS server is running on a Mac and Adobe Drive is running on a Mac. Adove Drive running on a Windows machine and connecting to this same CMIS server does not have this problem and vice versa.
This problem does not occur if I retrieve files through other CMIS clients.
Any help/resolution you could offer on this issue would be appreciated.

Having same issue. Using Indesign CC 2014.2 update, OS X 10.10.3 and any server using a smb, afp, or cifs connection.

Using Acrobat with Adobe Drive

I am exploring using Acrobat professional with Adobe Drive 2.1. I have not seen an explict statement that Acrobat can use Adobe drive.
Here are my questions:
1. Can Acrobat 9 or 10 interact with Adobe Drive 2.1?
2. Are there any Acrobat limitations to using the exposed Adobe Drive 2.1 CMIS functionality?
Thanks
Tom

FatMac>MacPro is correct about using Preview to read PDF's. It is built in, reliable and kept up to date by Apple software updates.
Adobe Reader has had vulnerabilities that can cause your Mac to be attacked via malicious PDF's. Keeping Reader up to date is essential for good security, however Adobe updaters nag so much that it is simpler to avoid installing it if at all possible.
PC users recommend it because they had no PDF support for so long, OS X has always had PDF support from Apple.

How to change Cache path of Adobe Drive manually?

Hi there,
i have a problem with one of my clients running Adobe Drive 2.1. The Operatingsystem Username of the Standard User on the Client computer was changed (MAC OSX) and now Adobe Drive links its cache file to the old user profile folder. If i try to change it in the Drive settings, it says something like "cannot be done, try again later". Think it must be a rights problem. Tried different ways with new users in the system, drive reinstllation with deletion of preferences a.so. still with the same result, i can't change the path to the cache folder in Adobe Drive and this prevents me from logging in to the cmis server. So the client can't use the Connector and Bridge to handle the connection to the cmis server - a bit unhandy
I think there must be a file in which the cache path of Adobe Drive is hardcoded, but i haven't found the correct file yet (looked in the package contents of Adobe Drive via the Mac Finder). Can you give me a hint, where i can find the cache-path entry?
Many thanks.
best regards,
Volker

Hi LUXMEDIA,
To change cache path manully, please follow the below steps:
Assuming that the original cache location is /User/userA/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS5ServiceManager/diskcache, the new cache location is /User/userB/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS5ServiceManager/diskcache
1. Quit Adobe Drive, and kill CS5ServiceManager
2. Copy files under /User/userA/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS5ServiceManager/diskcache to /User/userB/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS5ServiceManager/diskcache
3. Launch Terminal, input the following commands:
3.1 cd /User/userB/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS5ServiceManager/configuration
3.2 ls -al
you will see .settings folder
3.3 cd .settings
3.4 ls -al
you will see a file with the name org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences.OSGiPreferences.11.prefs
3.5 vi org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences.OSGiPreferences.11.prefs
change 'system/cache_location' value to '/User/userB/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS5ServiceManager/diskcache'
4. Relaunch Adobe Drive, go to settings panel, you'll see that the cache path has been updated.
Thanks,
Hui

Viewing XMP Metadata in Adobe Bridge via Adobe Drive Connector

Hi there,
I've been trying to view remote file XMP metadata in Adobe bridge via our adobe drive connector. I've added the READ_XMP_METADATA capablitiy, and I've seen the DataType.XMP has been requested. but I'm not sure how to display the metadata on the Adobe bridge metadata panel. since the metadata is embeded in the file, when i browse the file in local drive, the metadata shows fine, but when it's on our remote server, some how bridge doesn't extract the info and display it. I can see the metadata when I browse the remote file in windows explorer adobe drive. and we do download the file to local to a temp copy, browse the temp copy in bridge also showing the metadata, The only thing not working is browsing the remote file in bridge via adobe drive connector.
Please advise what should be done, in the programmer's guide, it says for each item, request that the server return the XMP data for that asset. How should I do that? If the XMP is embeded in the file, why would I need to request for it, would it be automatically extracted from the file?
Thanks,
Katherine

Adobe Drive 3 crashed my InDesign/InCopy CS4 on Mac

Hi all,
Word of warning: recently my CS4 installs of InDesign and InCopy stopped working - crash on startup. The crash report indicated something wrong in a required plug-in AWS/AWSUI. After some digging, I found that this plug-in seems to do things related to Version Cue and Adobe Drive - and the light bulb went on: I had installed Adobe Drive 3 a few days before.
Uninstalling Adobe Drive 3 revived my CS4 apps.
Posting my findings here to help other hapless souls that fall into the same trap...
Cheers,
Kris

3 ObjectModelLib.dylib 0x0160891c ShuksanInit(IStartupScreen* (*)(), IPlugIn*) + 21580
Clean installation of Adobe InDesign is required here or try creating a new administrator user account and then launch Adobe InDesign and see if it eradicates the crash. See this link for creating a new user account on Mac. http://support.apple.com/kb/ph6651. The new user account type should be Administrator.

Adobe Drive CMIS connector and Authentication

Hello,
We have undertaken a project to make our DAM CMIS compliant and thus get connected with Adobe Drive using it's inbuilt CMIS connector. We will be following RESTful AtomPub binding of CMIS for this.
CMIS spec doesn't talk a lot about the authentication and seems like it is outside the scope of CMIS. I wanted to know how Adobe Drive client gets authenticated with any CMS/DAM using its CMIS connector. What is the mode of authentication used - is it HTTP basic, digest authentication or something custom. So I am not sure what would Adobe Drive send to get authenticated and what would it expect in the response. How do we pass back the session token that we will create.
Any pointers wrt this are appreciated. That will really help us make progress on this project.
Thanks!
Mandar Kulkarni

Drive CMIS connector uses HTTP basic authentiction.
Thanks.

Editing and sharing custom metadata/keywords through Adobe Drive in Adobe Bridge

I am part of a four-person video production unit operating within a local governmental entity. We are currently using four licenses of Adobe Master Collection CS5, and are about to get access to dedicated SAN storage.
We would like each user to have the ability to assign specific keywords to any given video clip (or remove keywords from clips) within Adobe Bridge, and have the three other users see the same results. I've noticed that Bridge alone will allow for keywords to be added or removed, but this list is specific to each user. Importing one list into other users' profiles is a start, but would no longer work, once keywords are added or taken away.
The overview page for Adobe Drive 3 says that it, "allows users to edit and view custom metadata/properties through Adobe Drive in Adobe Bridge," but I haven't found any explanation in either the website, forums, or user's guides that delves any farther into this area. If we incorporate Adobe Drive/Bridge into our workflow, will we be able to share/sync keywords between users? Is there some other (affordable) solution that would let us do this?
Thanks for any insight you might be able to offer.
Chuck

Hi,
Thanks for sharing your case.
The keywords you mentioned is XMP metadata, if all your digital assets are managed by ADEP CQ DAM service, you can use AD3 with built-in ADEP connector to communicate with the DAM server, then, I think it can meet your requirement, it means, the keywords can be set by one user through metadata panel in Bridge, and can be viewed by other users.
for custom properites, it's different from XMP metadata, it refers to the properties of one asset which is managed by a Content Management service. users have to use another UI to edit/view them in Br after AD3 is installed.
here are some requirements to use it.
1) CMIS 1.0 compiliant server should be used to manage all your digital assets
2) use the built-in CMIS with AD3 to connect to the server.
if other kind of servers are used, you should develope a custom connector through AD SDK to enable custom properties feature as well as some other handler required by AD SDK
thanks

How can I get Adobe Bridge to show XMP metadata using Adobe Drive 4 CMIS Connector?

I have successfully connected to an Alfresco Enterprise Edition 4.1.0 repository, using the Adobe Drive 4, created a test folder and uploaded a jpeg file containing XMP metadata into it.
When I view the image's metadata (using Adobe Bridge), I observe that only part the standard file properties are displayed.
When I view a local copy of the image using the same, I see all fields of the standard file properties plus available metadata.
My question: what should I do in Adobe Bridge to be able to see all available XMP metadata?
Kind Regards and Appreciation

How did you get through to customer service? They've changed the website and I can't even find phone numbers or a chat button any more.
Here's my story that I posted on discussion yesterday, but no one has replied:
I am screaming and pulling my hair out right now! The last six months with Adobe has been a nightmare.
Once again I am completely locked out of Creative Cloud and cannot use the apps even though my automatic monthly deduction for payment was just made a couple of days ago. Creative Cloud continues to reset itself to the trial version which runs out in 30 days and after that I am locked out once again.
Now it looks like it is harder to access support than before. Where are chat and the phone numbers now? This was a nightmare with countless hours spent on chat and the phone over the last six months, and now I don't even know how to access support in order to spend even more time that does not solve the problem. What am I to do?
I cannot use the product I have paid for!
Please help!
