Automatic content expiration

Hello,
In educational market we have an important feature lacking in current DPS implementation (maybe?). We need a way (API, Folio configuration, etc) to allow automatic content expiration. Consider an Editor that sells eletronic books for schools and wish to guarantees, according to his business model, an annual renovation fee to allow the school to continue using his content, of course using entitlement.
Is it possible already or should I post this on the feature request sub forum?
Best regards,
Luiz Ribeiro

This isn't something DPS supports today, and once a reader has downloaded content to their device it remains on their device until the reader chooses to remove it. There is no revocation support.
We have heard this request from other customers, and it's being considered for future releases.

Managing content expiration.

Hi everybody!
I am in charge of develop a solution that manages content expiration based on a sort of categories.
I am thinking to do the tasks below:
1- Creating a table in the configuration manager UCM applet and populate this table all category and expiration times.
2- Creating a view that will look for the category table
3- Define this view as a combobox in the check-in form. So, users can choose which category a content belongs to.
4- After calculation, expiration date will be set in dOutDate CHECKIN optional parameter.
Lately, some developers came up with the argument that I could use URM or IRM to manage content expiration.
I'd like to know if my idea is appropriate or it's possible to use URM or IRM to accomplish the task.
Thanks
José.

First of all, I think you should approach your requirement from business, or compliance side, not from its technical implementation.
If I read between lines correctly, you want to automate expiration of content (by setting expiration date) based on rules in a custom table (and most likely also the date of its ingestion). If you requirement is really that simple, you may go easily with the functionality of the new component Framework Folders, which introduced Folders Retention - see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10978/c08_folders.htm#BCFEHCDJ
Note that retention folders are query folders, i.e. rather "assign" a folder to an item, you can create a query - an item can correspond to several queries at once. And retention rules are a bit more flexible (you may retain x last revisions rather than delete everything, it works with the concept of "fiscal year". etc.)
Records Management (URM, I'd forget about IRM for this case) will be more formal and more complex to setup:
a) it will ensure that content will not be deleted earlier
b) it will keep audit
c) disposition rules can be even more flexible
d)it minds exceptions (so-called "freezes")
etc.

Deactivate automatic content migration for Web Page Composer (WPC) 2

Hi,
on our production system we are using at the moment Web Page Composer for SAP NetWeaver 7.0. Soon we would like to upgrade the system to release 7.3
We have now already set up the content for the new Web Page Composer on a pre-production system. After the production system is upgraded to the new release, it is planned that we will transport the content for the new Web Page Composer from the pre-production to the production system.
As far as I know, the content of the old Web Page Composer gets automatically migrated during the upgrade of the production system. Due to the reason we will the use content of the pre-production system, the automatic migration step is not necessary anymore during the upgrade.
Is there any configuration option that allows us to disable the automatic migration of old Web Page Composer content?
Best regards
Mario

Regarding the feedback of the SAP support, it is not possible to deactivate the automatic content migration for the Web Page Composer.

If I create and publish content with the trial version of Captivate 8 will it (the content) expire?

I see this is the case with Captivate 6, content expires 30 days after publishing or something like that.
Does anyone know if they have kept this "feature" with Captivate 8?
Cheers

Hi there
Indeed, to my knowledge it behaves the same way.
Logically, I would wonder what (if any) incentive Adobe would have to change it?
Cheers... Rick

Any Functionality to automatically put expired batches into quarantine?

Hi guys and girls,
Do you know of an SAP functionality that will automatically put expired batches into quarantine status.
From a replenishment point of view our systems think that batches are available as long as they have status released, so this feature would be extremely helpful in decreasing supply risk.
Thanks,
Jannik

SAP has given function called dead line monitoring to help on this. Tx is QA05 or QA07.
Search in this forum you will get lot of info on this.

Automatically remove expired guest accounts

I have WCS 6.0 and under Administration -Settings - Guest User Settings, there is an option to automatically remove expired accounts. I checked that box and clicked saved.
I had some expired accounts but those were not removed. Do i need to restart the WCS service for that to work or does it only take effect with new accounts created after saving that setting?
any ideas?

Try this with accounts created AFTER saving this setting, that should make a difference.
If not let me know.

Content expiration from web page

Hi, all - Dreamweaver 8.0.2, Win XP, using asp, vbscript, and
SQL database (and utilizing WebAssist's Super Suite).
I'm going to be developing a "clients only" area with asp
pages connecting to a SQL database. As part of the project, I need
to develop an administration area where our technical writing staff
can add documents to the site (via an upload/web form) with a field
on the form that lets them enter the date they want the content to
expire. 'Expire' meaning the link to a particular file (this could
be old release notes, product bulletins, etc.).no longer show up on
the web page to the client once a given date is reached.
I'm only assuming that you would enter the expiration date in
a column in the database table and then run a query that compares
the column date to today's date and if the comparison yields some
value, then the link is either displayed or it's not. Would that be
fair logic?
I'm really not sure how to approach this - is this something
that can be written in asp code or would this be more of a server
function? If anyone has ever done this, I would be very grateful
for any suggestions or 'best methods' in which to achieve this.
Thank you.
John

You'd write it in the SQL for the query:
SELECT field1, field2 FROM myTable WHERE expirationDate >
GETDATE()
The GETDATE() function assumes that you're using Microsoft
SQL Server;
you specified only "SQL", and that's the query language that
almost all
databases use.

Automatic content related with for Web Items (here: Charts)

Hi Experts,
is there any way to automate the width property of web items, e.g. charts, related to the content?
In this case, I have a column chart with three columns. If the column count in- /decreases (e.g. when dynamically changing query dimension options), the chart width should change automatically as well.
Any ideas? At the moment I have to set a fixed with in pixels.
Many thanks!
Best regards
Tobias

Hi,
Yes u can do this.
It's not possible directly with simple direct FCC.
Try this..
Access all the records, header, I and C records as a single record... no difference between them.
In mapping all the records are under a single name so based on the logic for connection between the header and I and C,
u can create or split them into the structure u are expecting in the mapping...
U can go for 2 MM in a single interface mapping...
Let us know still u face any problem..

Does SSRS Cache report generate a new cache automatically after expiration?

When you cache a report in SSRS 2008 and set it to expire after a number of minutes, for example 30 minutes, Does the report refresh after it expires and generate a new cached report automatically or it refreshes only when the report is requested or run?
For example, if I run the report at 10:00AM, it will expire at 10:30AM, then when someone else runs the report at 11:15AM, Will there have been a new Cached report or it will be processed as new(in other words, it is not based on a Cached report)?
Thanks!

Hi,
When the expire time is reached, the new cache will not be created until the next time the report is requested.
If someone runs the report at 11:15AM, the last used time would be 11:15AM and it will be expired at11:20AM. There is no cached report, unless you have a cache refreah plan.
You can check the ExecutionCache table in the ReportServerTempDB to verify if a new cache is created or not.

Portal Content Expiration

Hello,
Is it possible to change the way the expiration period of content is displayed in the Add Item Wizard? We would like to force the users to enter an expiration date. Out of the box the Never Expires radio button is selected. I have looked at the File Type in Shared Objects and I set a default date which was better but the ideal solution would be for that date to be dynamically populated and the 'Never Expires' option hidden.
Is there a way of acheiving this?
Thanks in advance
Lisa

Hi Candace,
Thanks for your response.
Unfortunately, I am unable to remove the expiration date from the wizard completely as the users may be adding content that is valid for 3 months, 6 months, 12 months etc. By assigning a default value for the expiration date, it avoids the 'Never Expires' option being pre-selected in the Wizard but I have not managed to find a way to set the default date to be relative to the date of upload. i.e. if a user uploaded something today, I would like the date to be shown as 29 Mar 2005 but tomorrow it will default to 30 Mar 2005.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks Again
Lisa

Content Expiration

Is there a way to expire content from the Teaming site. My management is wanting to know if there is a way to police expired content.
Thanks.

With a Teaming workflow, you can set a time-based transition from one (or all) states to a state called (for instance) 'archive' state. The time-based transition will let you specify the days, hours or minutes after which the transition should occur. When the entry enters the 'archive' state, you can add an 'on entry' action to move the entry to a pre-defined folder (for instance) 'outdated/archived content'.

Automatic Content Distribution issues

Hi I am trying to test On Demand Content distribution in my environment and its not working. Feel like I am missing something obvious. Also I read over this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/neilp/archive/2013/01/03/on-demand-content-distribution-fallback-distribution-points-a-2012-configuration-manager-micro-depp-dive.aspx
My 2012 test environment:
1 Primary site with co-located DP (Subnet in BoundaryGroup1)
S01 (Secondary site 1) with co-located DP (BoundaryGroup2)
S02 (Secondary site 2) with co-located DP (BoundaryGroup3)
Only one subnet and one DP is assigned/member in each Boundary Group.
All my packages are set to ‘Distribute the content for this package to preferred distribution points’ and fallback is NOT enabled on the deployments
TestPackage1 is currently deployed to Primary site and S02 DPs. I have a client being managed by S01 and want to download TestPackage1. In the cas.log and execmgr.log it states No DP found with the package and deployment fails. The deployment is set for "Available".
When I look at the distmgr.log on both Primary and S01 I dont see a DMB file created and package is never deployed to the S01 DP.
Thanks for the help.

Can you please zip mp_location.log and distmgr.log on site S01 to SkyDrive? I need to take a look at there logs.
Suspected causes:
1. The instruction file has not been dropped by MP.
2. The instruction file has replication error.

Automatic delete expired w/RMAN

I'm looking for some rman scripts to delete
obsolete bacuppieces from disk.
We make incremental level 1 backups every day, and incremental level 0 every sat.
We are backing up files to disk.
I want to delete obsolete backuppieces from disk, and i need rman to do it.
I can do a CHANGE BACKUPPIECE FOR DELETE'
but, i need to know the obsolete backuppieces names first.
The problem is, i don't want to remove those
files manually in order to CROSSCHEKING afterwards.
I would be nice to implement
some new rman command like
'delete obsolete completed before...'
wouldn't it?
RDBMS 8.1.6.3
and RMAN 8.1.6.3
Thank you.

Take a look at the script rman1.sh. It usually can be found at $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo directory.
You may be able to copy this and modify it to remove the backups that are obsolete.
Make sure to test this out and it works as you expect.

Need best practice when accessing an ucm content after being transferred.

Hi All,
I have a business requirement where I need to auto-transfer the content to another UCM when this content expires in the source UCM.
This content needs to be deleted after it spends a certain duration in the target UCM.
Can anybody advise me the best practice to do this in the Oracle UCM?
I have set up an expiration date and trying to auto Replicate the content to the target UCM once the content reaches the expiration date.
I am not aware of the best practice to access the content when it is in the target UCM?
Any help in this case would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ashwin

SR,
Unfortunately temp tables are the way to go. In Apex we call them collections (not the same as PL/SQL collections) and there's an API for working with them. In other words, the majority of the leg work has already been done for you. You don't have to create the tables or worry about tying data to different sessions. Start you learning here:
