[AS] Linking to/copying graphics to a server location in ID CS4

Situation:
I have an indesign CS4 document with a graphic placed locally from the desktop. I then via script copy that indesign file to a folder, and then copy the graphic files into a sub-folder. (that part works ok).
If I open the indesign document locally, it finds the local graphic files. If delete the local graphic files, and open the indesign document locally, it finds the server copy of those graphic files. If I open from the server, same type of results.
... I tried relink - here is the guts of it...
relink OpenFile's link <graphic> to <newpathlocation>
where <graphic> would be the graphic to update and <newlocation> is the server path; those parts of the script evaluate properly; I am getting the proper graphic name and the proper server path location.
What is the best way - via apple script - to have it always reference the graphic files copied to the server; even if the parts exist locally?
Thanks in advance -
RbS

I did try relink.
Script Moves parts to server location.
Script Moves Indesign file to server location.
Those steps work fine.
Scritp them attempts to relink using the following command:
relink openFile's link newloop to (pathtoIDfile & newLinkFIleName)
where newloop walks the links
I thought about deleting the content and then flowing the graphics back in, but I am feaful of losing any modifications (such as scaling, etc) that may have been applied.

  • Drive Redirection virtual channel hangs when copying a file from server to client over RDP 8.1

    Problem Summary:
    A UTF-8 without BOM Web RoE XML file output from a line of business application will not drag and drop copy nor copy/paste from a Server 2012 R2 RD Session Host running RD Gateway to a Windows 7 Remote Desktop client over an RDP 8.1 connection and the Drive
    Redirection virtual channel hangs.  The same issue affects a test client/server with only Remote Desktop enabled on the server.
    Other files copy with no issue.  See below for more info.
    Environment:
    Server 2012 R2 Standard v6.3.9600 Build 9600
    the production server runs RDS Session Host and RD Gateway roles (on the same server).  BUT,
    the issue can be reproduced on a test machine running this OS with simply Remote Desktop enabled for Remote Administration
    Windows 7 Pro w SP1v6.1.7601 SP1 Build 7601 running updates to support RDP 8.1
    More Information:
    -the file is a UTF-8 w/o BOM (Byte Order Marker) file containing XML data and has a .BLK extension.  It is a Web Record of Employment (RoE) data file exported from the Maestro accounting application.
    -the XML file that does not copy does successfully validate against CRA's validation XML Schema for Web RoE files
    -Video redirection is NOT AFFECTED and continues to work
    -the Drive Redirection virtual channel can be re-established by disconnecting/reconnecting
    -when the copy fails, a file is created on the client and is a similar size to the original.  However, the contents are incomplete.  The file appears blank but CTRL-A shows whitespace
    -we can copy the contents into a file created with Notepad and then that file, which used to copy, will then NOT copy
    -the issue affects another Server 2012 R2 test installation, not just the production server
    -it also affects other client Win7 Pro systems against affected server
    -the issue is uni-directional i.e. copy fails server to client but succeeds client to server
    -I don't notice any event log entries at the time I attempt to copy the file.
    What DOES WORK
    -downgrading to RDP 7.1 on the client WORKS
    -modifying the file > 2 characters -- either changing existing characters or adding characters (CRLFs) WORKS
    -compressing the file WORKS e.g. to a ZIP file
    -copying OTHER files of smaller, same, and larger sizes WORKS
    What DOES NOT WORK?
    -changing the name and/or extension does not work
    -copying and pasting affected content into a text file that used to have different content and did copy before, then does not work
    -Disabling SMB3 and SMB2 does not work
    -modifying TCP auto-tuning does not work
    -disabling WinFW on both client and server does not work
    As noted above, if I modify the affected file to sanitize it's contents, it will work, so it's not much help.  I'm going to try to get a sample file exported that I can upload since I can't give you the original.
    Your help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Hi Dharmesh,
    Thanks for your reply!
    The issue does seem to affect multiple users.  I'm not fully clear on whether it's multiple users and the same employee's file, but I suspect so.
    The issue happens with a specific XML file and I've since determined that it seems to affect the exported RoE XML file for one employee (record?) in the software.  Other employees appear to work.
    The biggest issue is that there's limited support from the vendor in this scenario.  Their app is supported on 2012 R2 RDS.
    What I can't quite wrap my head around are
    why does it work in RDP 7.1 but not 8.1?  What differences between the two for drive redirection would have it work in 7.1 and not 8.1?
    when I examine the affected file, it really doesn't appear any different than one that works.  I used Notepad++ and it shows the encoding as the same and there doesn't appear to be any invalid characters in the affected file.  I wondered
    if there was some string of characters that was being misinterpreted by RDP or some other operation and blocked somehow but besides having disabled AV and firewall software on both ends, I'm not sure what else I could change to test that further
    Since it seems to affect only the one employee's XML file AND since modifying that file to change details in order to post it online would then make that file able to be copied, it seems I won't be able to post a sample.  Too bad.

  • How to find out which documents are linked to a graphic

    We're in the process of cleaning up our network drive by moving relevant files to a new drive and deleting duplicate or other unnecessary files. We have a lot of files and it would not be practical to do this migration in mass so we would like to do it piecemeal, deleting files as they are migrated to the new drive.
    In the past, if a graphic file was used in multiple documents, we would link the documents to the graphic, wherever the graphic was first stored (which has cause many problems). Moving forward we want to keep all the graphic files with the document that uses them (even though that will create multiple copies of the same file).
    My concern is that a graphic file in one folder may be linked to multiple documents and if we delete that graphic, when it comes time to migrate the other linked documents, it will be cumbersome to track down the missing graphic.
    Does anyone know an easy way to identify all of the documents that are linked to a graphic? Is there a Where Used script for graphics or something?
    We are using FrameMaker 8 on Windows XP Professional.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    I know of a Perl script that separates used from unused graphics: http://members.shaw.ca/philip.sharman/graphix/graphix.htm
    You will also need a Perl environment.
    We've tested this script with Strawberry Perl: http://strawberryperl.com/
    It is working, but you need to map network drives. It doesn't work with UNC paths.

    Not to mention that some FTP servers can return more than one return message per operation whereas others may return one message for the same operation.I had the problem using the LIST command to determine if a file exists on the server.

    But the basics were quite easy to code. The entire package is 500 lines, includes comments and blank lines for formatting, and supports the basic FTP client command set. Not really a complex piece of software to write - but I found that many developers seem to think that writing network socket software is complex. Not really the case...Mine's a big larger, but incorporates functionality similar to what Chris provided in his, such as being able to use SQL to query a remote file using pipelined functions, or functionality to write the results of a query directly to a remove file.

  • My client needs to be able to create a link to a document on the server in Incontext editor

    My client needs to be able to create a link to a document on the server, but I dont want to allow FTP/File manager access as this gives him opportunity to delete pages and files.
    How can you give him safe access without giving access to the files?

    The only other way to upload the document to his site is to use Media Downloads, also known as Literature in some part of the system. Then, inside the InContext Editor you click on the link and and select page from my site, then link to the literature item created.
    That's all.

  • I want to install Snow Leopard Server on our MacPro (2.66) using Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server disks?  I kept getting an error for backwards compatibility.   Is this possible or do I need to purchase another copy of Snow Leopard Server?

    I want to install Snow Leopard Server on our MacPro(2.66) using Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server disks?  I kept getting an error for backwards compatibility.   Is this possible or do I need topurchase another copy of Snow Leopard Server?

    The OS disks that are shipped with a particular product
    are set up so that tey will only install on that product.
    It will install on any Mini of that exact vintage, but that
    is all.
    This is to prevent people from doing exactly what you
    are trying to do.  The license for OSX shipped with any
    is only valid for that product.  Also, Snow Leopard,
    including Server, is only permitted to be run on one
    computer at a time.  Bottom line, unlike Lion, legally
    you cannot install the same copy on multiple
    computers unless some "family pack" or site license
    is purchased.
    Yes, you need to purchase another copy.
    The copy of Snow Leopard license is here:

    how can i copy ztable from development server to ides server?

    Hello Suresh
    The simplest way is to use a transport request.
    Another possibility is to check for SAPLINK plugins which allow to download table definitions (including data elements and domains) into a flat file. Upload on IDES again via [SAPLINK|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/SAPlink].

  • Make "Share Link" instantly create link and copy to the clipboard

    This one you should lift from Dropbox. When right-clicking a file and selecting Share Link, don't send me out to creative.adobe.com. Just make me a public link and copy it to my clipboard, allowing me to paste it into a message, email, tweet, whatever. Going out to the site and verifying the creation of a public link feels bureaucratic.

    Select text or image.  Go to Link field on the Properties panel.  If you don't see Properties, hit Ctrl+F3.

  • Moving the mailbox database copy from one exchange server to another exchange server 2010 DAG

    Hello Team
    is it possible to the move the passive copy of database and logs from one server to another exchange server in the same DAG with out removing  and deleting the mailbox database copies in exchange 2010
    normaly procedure is
    Remove the mailbox database copies and manually delete the .edb files and logs from the physical location and re-add the mailbox database copy to the new server in the DAG.
    is that any way to achieve to move the passive database copy to another exchange 2010 server in the same DAG ?

    From your note, you appear to have a two-member DAG (with a server hosting your active database, and a second hosting the passive copy), and you want to move your passive database copy from the current passive server to another.  Your note
    about what "the normal procedure is" isn't 100% correct - there are many ways to handle this task, and all can be considered "normal". Why not just add the third server to the DAG and
    add a database copy on that third server?  Once it is fully seeded, you can remove the current passive copy.  This way, you never lose your redundancy.
    Yes i can add the third and fourth  serve in DAG , but i cannot add the mailbox database copies to the 3rd and 4th mailbox server in DAG as am using RTM version of exchange 2010 which is allowing to have only 5 database inclding mailbox datbase copies
    and also currently my lab setup is  two member dag (with a server hosting your active database,
    and a second hosting the passive copy) in the same site named SITE A
    and recently i have created new SITE B and included the 3rd and 4th DAG members in the same DAG
    i want the  mailbox database copies from the mailbox server  database  in SITE A  to
    Mailbox server database in  SITE B as  passive copy
    That is why i want to move the mailbox database without deleting / removing it manually
    Hope you understand my situation!

  • System Copy of our Production Server using orabrcopy method.

    Hi
    We are planning to do a System Copy of our Production Server using orabrcopy method.
    But as the Production Server Java Version is below 1.4.1, Orabrcopy could not be executed.
    As per the planned downtime of the Production Server, we have copied all the database offline. ( say 9th of August)
    but we could not create the control , trace, init<sid>.ora files using ORABRCOPY.. during offline database copy.
    Now the system is up and running.. We havent created the files yet.
    I have 2 questions..
    1. Is there any other method so that we can create the control , trace, and init<sid>.ora files.
    2. If we create the control trace files now ( 13th of August ) can we use the offline backup that we took on (9th of August) to perform a System Copy..
    Need your addvice..
    Thanks and Regards
    Paguras

    Basically, orabrcopy does (aside from other things) an
    alter database backup controlfile to trace;
    You can enter that manually (anytime) and use the resulting .trc file in saptrace directory as a base for control.sql, however, in this case you need to "know" what you're doing. ORABRCOPY is a "nice frontend" for this because it uses the same statement to create CONTROL.SQL, it just edits it appropriately which you will need to do manually.

  • Html link on web page points to server volume - possible?

    Hi there
    I don't know if this is exactly the right forum for this question but I'm *just sure* someone where will be able to point me in the right direction!
    I'm working on an intranet blog for my company... a resource for company standards, workflow questions, and the like.
    I want to occasionally post a link there to a particular folder - where the afp/html link will open the served up folder.
    I tried
    <!--<a href="afp://Volumes/xxxx/xxx/xxxx">here</a>-->
    but if I'm not logged on that link returns a "Connection failed - the server may not exist or is not operational at this time".
    If I am logged on, the folder window will pop up, but I still get the error message.
    IDEALLY it would be good to somehow embed logon info in the link.
    Eventually, if we ever go public with this resource, I'll have to think about security issues posed by links to our server in a public website, but that's a problem for another day.
    Right now I just want to link to work behind our router. Any and all advice appreciated! Thanks!

    Matt, thanks for your advice, but I couldn't get your suggestion to work at all.
    Back to the drawing board - unless there are other suggestions lurking in the wings. (hint! hint!)

  • Urgent:db link from oracle 10g to sql server 2000

    Hi
    I have a db link 10g from oracle to sql server 2000. This was created a couple of years ago. This is working.
    I have now created another db link from same oracle server to the same sql server but it is not working.
    But I am getting ORA-28500 and IM002 error
    .Please advise.
    I am unable to understand what is wrong because I have followed the hs odbc set up on this db link in the same way as I had done 2 yrs ago.
    Thanks
    Shailaja

    Just sorted the problem.
    Basically I am using HSODBC to communicate from Oracle (on windows 2003 64 bit)  to SQL Server.
    To do this, I need to create a ODBC connection from Oracle to SQL Server.
    HSODBC is a 32 bit application and hence we have to use the ODBC 32 bit driver when we create the ODBC connection.
    When I created the  ODBC connection from Oracle to SQL Server, I was using the ODBC 64 bit driver and hence the system was unable to find the data source name.
    I have now created ODBC connection from Oracle to SQL Server using the ODBC 32 bit driver and everything works fine now.
    No offence to anyone but as you all work using Oracle software , I was hoping a better response than some of the above responses. You can just say that you didnt understand the question or you dont know the reason why that happened.
    I just listed how the problem was sorted so that any one in future having the same problem can benefit.

  • Illustrator CC 2014 randomly loses ability to link/relink/place graphics

    I am helping troubleshoot a client that is having issues with Illustrator on her Mac (note: i am not an illustrator person, i am just assisting in troubleshooting)
    After opening certain .ai files, she is able to link/relink/place graphics several times with no issues, and then after a few times (ranges between 2-10 times), "Place" or "Re-link" stops bringing up the browse window again.
    On another file, one where the existing linked graphics (qty 5) were renamed, it asks to relink the first two and pops up the browse window, but on the third one, as soon as we click relink, it doesn't popup browse window, but opens the file with the remaining 3 graphics not showing up.  We can then try place/relink/etc and nothing happens.
    I have attempted uninstall/reinstall including removing the plugins folders and .plist files, removing recently-added fonts, clearing the font cache, disabling plugins, disabling extensions, but nothing appears to fix it.  Install is being run over creative cloud, which is configure to keep the app up-to-date, so my suspicion is that a recent OS X or CC update caused the issue, however the user couldn't pinpoint to me how long its been going on.  OS X is yosemite and is up to date.

    I cannot remember offhand, i do think it is.. however it does come up several times within an instance of the app being open, and then just stops.  I will check and give "list" a try when I can.

  • Leave a copy of messages on server?

    OSX6.8, Macmail 4.6 running in IMAP. How do I setup to leave a copy of messages on server, so that I can also read the emails on my iPhone? In POP I think there was an option in Prefs>account>Advance. With IMAP, it is replaced with "Keep Copies for offline viewing".
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Never mind... I had a "rule" in Mac Mail moving thing to a folder "On My Mac" and when the rule moved the item on the Mac Pro it was causing the server to (correctly and logically) erase it. All better now :-)
