AutoVue Desktop Deployment

I am trying the new AutoVue Desktop Deployment and I have a couple of questions.
1. When I use the application VBExample.exe I get a connection error. Could not initialize socket on localhost:5099;.......
Please tell me what I need to do. I also put in what I think is the appropriate code to do in in my application and I get the same error.
ax.initActiveX()
ax.setFile("upload://" + txtURL)
2. If I try to run autovue.exe from the C:\oracle\AutoVue Desktop Deployment\bin I cannot open any drawing files I get unsupported file format. Additionally, in the about screen it shows Oracle AutoVue Office 20.1.0.
Thanks for your help!!!

Hi Paul,
For issue #1, it seems your Desktop Deployment is not installed properly. The log file located in <AutoVue Desktop Deployment installation dir>\bin\Logs should contain the error in more details. I would suggest re-install Desktop Deployment to see if the problem still occur.
Regarding your code, after ax.initActiveX() is called, you need to wait for the doneInit event that signals the ActiveX is completed initialization, and only then you can call the setFile method
For issue #2, i am not sure which flavor of the product you have (AutoVue Office, 2D Pro, etc.) Each flavor support different set of file formats so please make sure the file you are viewing is indeed supported by your product flavour.
Thanks

Gets wrong EventID in OnonFileEvent(..) of AutoVue Desktop Deployment.

Gets wrong EventID in OnonFileEvent(..) of AutoVue Desktop Deployment.
Following is part of code written in Delphi 5:
procedure TfrmTest.AutoVueViewFileEvent(Sender : TObject; const arg0 : IDispatch);
const
dispparamsNoArgs : TDispParams = ( rgvarg : NIL; rgdispidNamedArgs: NIL; cArgs : 0; cNamedArgs: 0 );
var
sMethodName : Widestring;
iDispId : longint;
v : Variant;
begin
sMethodName := 'getEventID';
arg0.GetIDsOfNames (GUID_NULL, @sMethodName, 1, LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT, @iDispId);
arg0.Invoke (iDispId, GUID_NULL, LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, DISPATCH_METHOD, dispparamsNoArgs, @v, NIL, NIL);
if (iDispId = EVENTID_FILEEVNT_ONPAGELOADED) then
    AutoVueXDesktop.printIt();
end;
Procedure AutoVueViewFileEvent(..) is assigned to OnonFileEvent of AutoVue.
But we never get Event ID as EVENTID_FILEEVNT_ONPAGELOADED (i.e. 18), we always get value like 32770
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
Need to get Event ID as EVENTID_FILEEVNT_ONPAGELOADED once file loaded completely in viewer.

I would recommend you review the code you are using and ensure you test for return codes
The id you always get is the one for the function you are trying to look for, so the behavior you see is expected
Please review IDispatch::Invoke prototype
HRESULT Invoke(
[in]       DISPID dispIdMember,
[in]       REFIID riid,
[in]       LCID lcid,
[in]       WORD wFlags,
[in, out] DISPPARAMS *pDispParams,
[out]      VARIANT *pVarResult,
[out]      EXCEPINFO *pExcepInfo,
[out]      UINT *puArgErr
You should be testing the result, in your case v, not the function ID

Autovue desktop deployment installation on terminal.

Hi,
We are trying to install Autovue desktop deployment installation on citrix - VDI solution.
It seems like the installation installs files on the user that run the installation and when other users are trying to open autovue they are getting error message.
I tried to put config.properties file on each %userprofie% but it doesn't help.
Do you know if there are special installation instructions for installing on terminals server / citrix?
Regards,
Sagi.

From the KM article
Using AutoVue Desktop Deployment on Citrix(Doc ID 1905348.1)
Citrix is not a supported environment which means that we can't log bug when an issue is only reproducible in a Citrix environment.
Putting %userprofie% in the config.properties is useless as it is a WINDOWS convention not a java one
it is also not a must that all user have a config.properties (c:\Users\username\AutoVue\Offline_Files\Config.properties), not for Desktop deployment (for OCX, it is)
You will need to look in to the logs (see related KM notes articles (Enabling Logging when Using AutoVue Desktop Deployment(Doc ID 1342222.1)
and debug it from there, it will probably be a file permission issue

Autovue Desktop Version Batch Printing Help

I currently have the Autovue Desktop Deployment version 20.2.2 installed on some machines. Is there a way to add many files at once rather than one at a time? I have a list of about 200 files to be printed. In older versions of Autovue Desktop Version, like version 15, the batch print functionality worked differently. Where I could create a script that would read a batch file. Is there a way to do the same with the newer version 20.2.2? I have a list on a text file of file paths including file names to be printed. I want Autovue 20.2.2 batch printing to read the list and print each file. Is this possible? Can I feed the batch printing process a batch file? I have explored creating my own Jvue applet but I would like to be able to use the Desktop Version since it already has a batch printing tool.

No, there is no such support in DD 20.2.2

VDI - RemoteApp does not start in "Virtual machine-based desktop deployment" environment

Hello dear community,
I would like to familiarize myself to the subject of desktop virtualization and have built up a test environment for this purpose. Most went smoothly, but now I'm trying for days to figure out, why the deployed RemoteApp programs in my test environment not
start. Unfortunately posts here and in other blogs were not helpful. I hope you can point me to the right direction. :)
My environment
Server 1
Windows Server 2012 R2 Std with the roles
   AD DS,
   DNS,
   DHCP
Server 2
Windows Server 2012 R2 Std with the roles
   Hyper-V,
   Remote Desktop Services (Connection Broker, Virtualization Host, Web Access),
   IIS
VMs
Windows 8.1
RD Client 1
Laptop with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 28, RemoteApp and Desktop Connections
RD client 2
iPad with Microsoft Remote Desktop App
Setting up the environment
The installation of the environment I made as mentioned in the following blog post. http://blog.itvce.com/?p=1569 But with only two physical servers.
What does work?
Prepared with SysPrep and "cloned" Windows 8.1 VMs created in the collections of virtual desktops are accessible via WebAccess (RDWeb) using IE, FF, Windows Start menu and also from the iPad as a complete desktop for authorized users/groups. The VMs
wake up in Hyper- V from the saved state and roll back to it after the user logs off. So far so good.
What does not work?
Now to what does not work. One collection of virtual desktops I have reserved for the publication of RemoteApp programs. So this new collection - like the above - was created. The VMs were built and successfully registered in AD. Then I used "publish RemoteApp
Programs" wizard in the collection. The available programs were successfully read from the VM. WordPad, Calc and Paint I used for the test. The programs/apps will then appear in RDWeb.
In RDWeb I now click on the Calculator, the warning described in many blogs appears that resources are passed through and then that the certificate could not be verified. Although I have already added the certificate to the trusted root CA in the user and the
computer area, I acknowledge that I would like to connect despite the certificate error with "Yes".
After about 20 seconds the "Connect to ..." window disappears and that it was. In Hyper-V Manager the corresponding VM does not move even if it's running. If the VM was not running and in saved state, it is at least started. But the Calculator will
still not start.
Can anyone give me a proper hint what to do, which Bing, Google and Technet did not have?
Thank you in advance!
Kay
PS: Since I am from Germany, I have asked the question first in the German forum. Unfortunately, without success.

Hi Kay,
Thank you for contacting Microsoft.
From your description, I learnt that the issue you are experiencing is that you want to eliminate the certificate warning when launching the Remote App applications. Please let me know if I misunderstand your purpose.
Firstly, please let me know what certificate you are using. Then please export and import the certificate on the RDSH server. We need to manage the certificates. Please refer to
the steps below.
1. Open the Collections which you want to manage, click
Edit Deployment Properties.
2. On the Certificates page, select
Select existing certificate.
3. When the
Select Existing Certificate page appear, please select Choose a different certificate, locate to the right exported certificate path, and type the correct password, and
select Allow the certificate to be added to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store on the destination computers.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to finish the certificate configuration, here we can use the same certificate.
If anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Sophia Sun

Desktop deployment does not show all localized strings when deployed to windows 8.1

We created a desktop application using the .Net 4.0 framework that contain localized strings. When deploying the app to Windows 7 and Windows 8 vm, all of the strings appear. It even works on Win XP. My issue is when deploying the same
application to the win 8.1 vm, several of the localized strings do not appear. It is as if the OS picks and chooses which string to appear. Has there been any changes to the Resource Manager that we should be aware of? Was there an update
in windows 8.1 that is causing the issue? Is it the Oracle VM that is the culprit? Not sure, so if you have any insite to this issue we are having, by all means respond to the post
David Moss

Hi,
I think that the problem is related to .Net Framework 4.0
Windows 8.1 include .Net Fra 4.5 that may be not supported by your desktop application. that why serveral of the localized string don't appear.
I think that you can downgrad the .Net framework to 4.0 version, from Windows 8.1, launch appwiz.cpl (from Metro Interface) => display installed updates, locate .Net Framework 4.0 and remove /uninstall it)
Reboot the W8.1 machine and retry to launch the desktop app and let me know if the problem is resolved.

DNS Issues with Hyper-V 2012 R2 VDI Pooled Desktop Deployment

Good afternoon all!
We are running a POC VDI deployment on a Nutanix system, and I am having a DNS issue. I would appreciate some help trying to figure this out. Two situations that are causing issues that I can see:
1. VMs go into a saved state if not being used: This in itself is not an issue, and I see it as a way to save resources not being used; however, if a VM is saved for a few days, the DHCP address often gets reassigned. Now if users are connecting, and that
saved VM with the stale address is called to wake up, the VM is not found.
2. Recreating the pool after updating the golden image: This is the bigger issue. After a couple days of running smoothly, I was asked by my pilot users to add Firefox. I installed it and recreated all the VMs in the pool. When this happened, they all got
new IPs, but the old DNS records were not updated. This made the broker unable to find a single VM in the pool. I could not ping a single one.
Has anybody else run into these DNS issues with a VDI deployment? If so, what did you do to resolve it? If not, have any ideas on what is going on here?
Thank you in advance!
Eric

Hi Eric,
As per my research, I can say that the default behavior. When we will recreate the VM it will change the IP address dynamically. But from your description it seems the DNS record is not getting update and due to that you can’t find your VM with hostname or
IP. But for this you can set one option under DNS server with which DNS record can update the new IP address. The option you need to set is “Dynamic updates>Nonsecure and Secure” under general properties in sites. You can check below snap.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Supervisor Desktop deployment - desktop shortcuts

I am attempting an automated install of Supervisor Desktop 8.5 using the MSI on Windows 7 and XP. When I install it, I would like desktop shortcuts to be created automatically on the Public Desktop (All Users). Is there a command line switch or parameter for that, or how would that be accomplished?

You cannot add columns but you can hide them in the Preferences window.
This already exists in the Oldest Contact column. The first number is the contacts waiting, the second number is the amount of time the longest contact has been waiting. E.g: 5 [00:08:00] indicates five contacts are waiting and the longest wait is eight minutes.

Detect Desktop Deployment 20.2.1 version programmatically

There is the 3d Pr Advanced, and the Electro Mechanical Advanced, etc
How can that be determined programmatically, from Java programming?

Hi,
Can you please try using the following Java code:
        Profile p = m_JVue.getActiveVueBean().getProfile();
        String productResName = p.getString("RUNTIME", "JVUE_LONGNAME", "");
        String productName = Resources.loadFrameString(productResName);
        System.out.println("PRODUCT NAME = " + productName);

AutoVue viewer caused crash while viewing .XSLX documents.

We use AutoVue Desktop Deployment Viewer incorporated in our application (using JNI). When viewing XLSX (Microsoft Excel) documents on Windows 8.1 x64 system it caused crash of application. It's reproducible only on Windows 8 (8.1 or Server2012) systems. If we set compatibility mode (Windows 7) then problem isn't reproducible.

I would recommend you log a ticket with customer support

Detect programatically if AutoVue DD is installed (Windows/Linux)

Hello,
I need help on detecting if user has AutoVue Desktop Deployment installed (on Windows/Linux OS) via Java. In Windows I thought of looking out registries under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\" with no success (at least I couldn't find any registry about AutoVue). In Linux I guess I could use something like "whereis" to find autovue.exe but Windows is priority right now. Hope you guys can help me pointing some ways to solve my problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I agree with you that this may not be an AutoVue specific question, feel free to edit/delete this topic.
Anyway, based on your answer I could find a registry under this location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Oracle AutoVue Desktop Deployment
Thank you.

Change markup author name (AutoVue DD)

Hello,
I'm trying to change the author's name when creating markups using AutoVue Desktop Deployment (this is a must). I've implemented custom functionalities on events (such as ONOPENFILE) using the code examples provided in the docs. At this time, if I create a markup, AutoVue automatically set author's name as my Windows logged in username (I suppose). Is there any way I can change this behavior, so that I can set the author's name programatically? Or setting it on a file or something?
Thanks in advance.

The username that appears on your markup is the windows user or if connected to a DMS (CS use case) the DMS login name
Modifying it, is not supported

AutoVue20.2 - 2DPro - Initialization failed. Could not initialize socket

Hi,
We are running a standard install of AutoVue 20.2 2DPro. We have the situation of the JVueAX.ocx activeX being coded in VB.Net.
When we run the custom application as an admin user there is no issue, however when there is a restriction placed on the users (ie non-admin restricted to read & write on most things) we get the following issue in a popup messagebox.
Error

An error occurred while connecting to the server.
Restart the applet?
So it appears to be a permissions issue.
We have changed the security settings on the Autovue folder but that doesn't alter the outcome.
We have looked for more debug and altered the Log4j.xml to be all DEBUG but that didn't increase the output.
The install log is 3007 of successful and no warnings or failed components.
So we now ask for your input. What port needs opening or what file/folder needs the modify or full control assigned? Or is there a manual we may have misread?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
I have reviewed the AutoVue Desktop Deployment post.
Cheers,

The fix for this is to copy a file called Config.properties into the %userprofile%\AutoVue\Offline_Files
for each user.
In the text file Config.properties are these lines.
#Offline Files Configuration
[WORK OFFLINE]
INSTALLDIR=C:\Oracle\AutoVue Desktop Deployment

Main and Secondary windows

Hi,
I'm using AutoVue 20.2.0 Desktop Deployment to display AutoCAD drawings, both vector and composite.
Where do I find out more details about the use of this AutoVue Secondary window. I'm seeing that the ini file settings are not being used when the drawing is the second or subsequent file to be opened.
Also the ability to open multiple drawings (or files) on first request seems to halt the opening of secondary windows. But when you have a Main Autovue window open, the Secondary windows open with multiple drawings (or files).
Your thoughts and questions are very welcomed.
Cheers.

Thanks 754009.
The VECTORFIT=1 is not working.
Deployment: AutoVue Desktop Deployment 20.2.0 We are integrating with an AutoCAD drawings repository system and the deployment of java is the one that came standard with 20.2 at the time so that is 1.6.0_26.
How is it used? The application calling for the opening of one or multiple drawings (.DWG) using a direct path call to the standard autovue.exe path (C:\ORACLE\AutoVue Desktop Deployment\bin) each call is made individually. I dont have control over how the calls are made .
The same functionality works in a command shell, so its not the calling method. Steps to replicate? Pick 4 drawings and script it up in a text viewer with each drawing being called by autovue.exe on a separate line. Ensure there is a CR after the last line. Then Copy the text and Paste into a cmd shell.
I like the concept of the Secondary window because you can close all Secondary windows by closing the Main window.
The other thing is that when I make a multiple call without any AutoVue running, only the Main window opens with the last requested drawing. If you perform the same multiple call again, all the drawings open in Secondary windows. So do I need another process (e.g. the document server) running in the background to make it work?
So my Questions are:
1) what INI file controls the Secondary window
2) where is any documentation that relates to the Secondary window and how it works
