Back link in Catalog

We are trying to activate a link "Back to SRM" and deactivate the Back link itself in the catalog (to prevent duplication of items). We have looked at OSS notes 1132038 as well as 1445078. However, we still cannot get it to work correctly. I am working with OSS to resolve this but I was hoping someone on the forum may have a solution. We also added the inbound/outbound handlers in the call structure with no effect.
When our users log into SRM, the first page is a Welcome Page. When they click on Shop Full Functionality, it opens a new window. Then, when they click on Add Item, the catalog opens within the create shopping cart screen (not a separate window). I am not sure if our portal administrator is looking in the wrong area or not. OSS recommended to have the catalog open in a separate window so that the user could just click the red X instead of the back link. But, we are still seeing the back link and the catalog is not opening in a separate window.

Dear monique,
The catalog no longer opens in a new window from SRM 7.0 as we now use Portal as UI or NWBC, in order to maintain session reliability the catalog frame is launched from within the Shopping Cart Guided Application Framework, this SC 'session' is then placed in ACTION SUSPEND, until the return from catalog is generated where the session is triggered to reopen with a RESUME command.
If you wish to remove the portal navigation 'back' link, I believe you already have a note for doing so, if this has not worked, re-trace all the steps in case something was missed. It should work. By adding the bypassinb/outb_handler parameters into the call structure you should then have available the Return to SRM link instead in the catalog.
You are also correct, use of teh integrated call structure in SPRO is no longer recommended, it is relevant for older UI technology like ITS.

Use of the 'Back' link in Catalog/Portal - Useful info for Catalog Admins

Some info for anyone out there who may have noticed the small 'issue' with catalog items being duplicated when exiting a catalog using the Portal 'Back' link rather than the 'Return to Application/SRM' link.
A problem has been identified there where portal navigation causes duplication of catalog data even where no item is selected in the catalog.
The process might be:
1. User accesses a catalog (any, SAP or External) and selects/adds to cart an item.
2. User selects the 'Add Item' button in the 2nd step of the SC GAF, returning to the same catalog.
3. User clicks on the Portal 'Back' link and is returned to the 2nd step of the Shopping Cart Guided Application Framework
4. The initial shopped item is duplicated in the shopping cart even though no items were selected by the user.
To ensure that this does not happen SAP have created note [1445078|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1445078] which provides the means to remove the 'Back' link thus negating the possibility of this issue occuring in the case of any catalog access.
Please follow the steps provided in the note to modify the Portal Content and remove the back link entirely.

Backing up lightroom catalog - preview folder?

If the preview folder is not backed up, what effect does this have on lightroom? I am thinking only main effect would be those images that are no longer connected, you will lose their thumbnails/previews. Am I right in my thinking? For backup routines, do you usually include the preview subfolder?

The LR backup does not include backing up previews, it backs up the catalog file itself. These can be regenerated at any time, so backing them up isn't necessary, and if backup outside of LR I am not sure how you would re link them anyway so perhaps would be pointless.

How do I back-link to a text box, pop-up, or sidebar?

I can make a hyperlink from a text box, pop up window, and sidebar to a bookmark, but can't make a return link to any of these? Is it just not possible, or did I miss something.
Thanks.

I don't know what you mean by "unique link/bookmark pairs." I believe all bookmarks are unique.
You just said what I said.... Thanks for confirming.
A bookmark needs a link to work. A link needs a bookmark to work. Those two things create a unique pair that work together. A & B. To B from A.
Are you asking how to back-link or how to bookmark?
You cannot create A & B and then expect the user to do: A ▶ B ▶ A
If you want B ▶ A, you need to create another pair: C, D
Put C next to B and D next to A, then the user can do: C ▶ D, which in effect takes them from B back to A.
Now you have two unique pairs: A/B & C/D

JSF 1.2 - Roundtrip just to create a simple Go Back link scenario

From what I've read, it seems JSF 1.2 treats everything as HTTP POST. Hence, doing a simple Go Back means one has to do a round trip to the backend database and back. Here's how I've done it:
1. Create a form and populate it with a list of information. For each line of info in the list, I define a h:outputLink that have four f:param directives to pass the parameters I want to a second form. Of course, the name/id of these params have to be unique. Say, if you want to create a second set of h:outputLink for the list, you have to define new unique name/id. Yuck! Why must name/id be unique? After all, they just going to become URL parameters.
2. To create a "Go Back" link on my second form, I define a h:outputLink with the same number of f:params deriving their values from the URL parameters received from the first form. I have tried the h:commandLink/h:commandButton without success - they just resubmitted the second form without redirecting back to the first form.
3. Once the "Go Back" link is clicked, I have to do a roundtrip to the backend database just to "refresh" the first form - and if I have multiple backing beans providing data for this form - this roundtrip can become quite expensive.
What I gather from doing the JSF for the last five weeks:
1. All requests are submitted as HTTP POSTs - this much is obvious. Thus, this will break the ability to do "light" navigation (such as a Go Back link), bookmarking and so forth due to the POST nature of JSF 1.2 or earlier. JSF 2.x might be different though - I may have to check the spec to confirm this. I have heard that one may need to use Facelets and not JSP as the view technology - otherwise certain features of this implementation will not be available.
2. To pass information as parameters means one has to validate URL parameters to prevent URL tampering from third parties.
3. I can use session scope for the form - but this is an "ugly" way of doing it i.e. If I move to a different area of the website and come back to the form, I can still see the previously generated data - until the session expired of course - then the form is reset to it's pre-submit status. I can appreciate the use of session scope in situation where one want to keep certain information active e.g. when a user logged into a forum or a secured session (HTTPS). To use session scope to just navigate between forms (while maintaining the status of the displayed data) is too much of an overkill.
If there are better ways of doing something trivial like a Go Back link or bookmarking then I'm all open ears. If not, I might have to ditch JSF 1.2 and investigate JSF 2.0. Hopefully, this release would be less painful.
Looking forward to JSF experts' comments surrounding this issue. I'm sure I'm not the first to complain about this framework and I won't be the last. Enough rant...

First, outputlinks do not generate POST.Appreciate your reply. I stand corrected with this comment. But reading a few articles, for example: [JSF Discussions and Blogs|http://ptrthomas.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/jsf-sucks/], one has to wonder how JSF 1.x stacks up.

Second, how would you do it all in plain HTML/JSP/Servlet without JSF? If you tell how you would do it, then we can suggest the JSF way of it (but with the time you should probably already have realized that your concern/rant makes no sense).Sorry, Bauke, I went from Java straight to JSF for the past five weeks but if I have to guess one would use HttpServletRequest or HttpServletResponse in HTML-JSP-Servlet scenario. What I have done with the roundtrip actually works for me albeit I'm hitting the backend twice instead of once (there are pros and cons of doing it this way but I won't go into detail here). However, this still begs the question about doing something trivial like a Go Back link or bookmarking and why it's not so trivial in JSF.

At any way, you may find JBoss Seam interesting. It has an extra scope between request and session in: the conversation scope.Thanks. I could try it or move straight to JSF 2.0 or later.
Don't get me wrong, I love JSF. But I won't see its real potential until I move to JSF 2.x or later. Integrated Facelets support is something I'm looking forward to -:)

Pse6 won't let me back up my catalog or burn a cd

HELP- I've searched forums and knowledge base but find no solution to the problem that pse6 does not recognize my CD drive on vista so I can't burn any CD or worst yet, back up my catalogue which is huge now. I feel cheated in buying the newer version that won't due what pse4 did on my old window xp. WHAT can I do?
I'm not confident how to use these forums either. Have not had my pse6 a year yet, but more than 90 days. got it in April I think.

Wow, Paige,
That is such helpful good news!! I'll try this then.
Something else I've encountered. After backing up my catalog to hard drive, I wanted to do another incremental backup. But the program won't let me go furthe after I've identifying the hard drive as "G"- It wants me to name the precious file or back-up- but the whole catalog was dumped into the hard drive as separated files, not as a group, and without knowing hoe to identify my previous back-up (the hard drive doesn't give it a name- I can't go any farther- it won't do an incremental back up.
But I'm going to try the uninstall reinstall PSE as my next step and see if I can't have it working so I could make a CD if I want.
SO GRATEFUL for all the help I'm getting. This is fantastic!!
Eager learner,
Wendy

Clicking on one link on a module in my.yahoo page produces 5 back links

After clicking on a link in the "Top Stories" or "YahooNews: Political News" modules. FF generates 5 back links (that I can verify by looking at the drop-down history on the back button). Sent request to Yahoo support who told me it is a browser problem.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://

I have not heard of this one before... If it's due to change in My Yahoo, we'll probably accumulate more posts about it.
Meanwhile...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Back Link in reports

Hi,
I have created back link in narrated view for moving back to the previous page in a report (not in dashboard), its working fine until i keep using it in the tool. But as soon as i download a report it also gets downloaded and appears as a hyper link in the document like excel or pdf.
Is it possible to add the back link with other links like export, print etc so that it does not gets downloaded.? I am using OBIEE11g
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Instead of a narrative view, add a static text to the dashboard page as,
{input type="button" value="Go Back One Page" onclick="history.back();"}
Replace {} with < and >

Return, Back Links on Dashboard while drilldown??

Hi Experts,
On a dashboard if we drilldown then it goes to drilldown report and a Return - Back links are present for two drill downs. How can I add Modify, Print, Download links to this list and how can I disable or enable these links completely i.e. even Return, Back links must not be shown while we drill down. [http://www.imageping.com/show.php/59962_return.jpg.html]
Thanks in advance,
-N-

Hi -N-,
I recommend you add some Javascript to the bottom of your dashboard that searches for and removes the "Return" and "Back" elements. The others can be handled via the "Show Report Links" option in the dashboard setup. But the "Return" and "Back" are automatically added on drill down and there is no out fof the box way to remove them.
To get you started, here is a piece of JS that removes <HR> tags from Guided Nav. Link objects. You'll need to modify it to search for <a> tag objects in the page and remove only the "Return" and "Back" objects.
<script type="text/javascript">
var aElm=document.getElementsByTagName('hr');
for (var i =0; i <aElm.length;i++){
aElm\[i\].parentNode.removeChild(aElm\[i\]);
} // end for
</script>
Good luck!

"Back" link in report

<p>Hi Jamie</p><p>I have a report which has multiple groups in it. When I click on a particular group it displays that groups data in another window (in the crystal report) but in InfoView it basically drills down to a lower level and the only way to go back is to go to the drop down path menu on the top of the page or right click in the report infoview screen and select "back". </p><p>I want to set up a hyperlink that will allow the user to go up one level. I have seen examples in the PPT document that shows this "Back" link but did not see it in any of the report examples. Could you assist me with this?</p><p>Thanks<br />AJR</p>

hey AJ,
this is something that i wish that we had the functionality built for...what you saw in the powerpoint are links that will take you to the top level of a report...simply a wetargetpath formula that grabs the current prompt values.
the problem with the back one or more levels that you mentioned is that there are way more factors to consider such as DrillDownGroupLevel, using report part to report part linking, etc.Â these values would have to be passed page to page on the url or be stored somewhere more permanent than the current viewer page. possible, yes, but way more work than the simple link to the top level of a report.

Error backing up a catalog: "low on disc space"

I have problem backing up my catalog in Photoshop Elements 11. I have a new computer and want to move my Potoshop catalog to this one. But when trying to back up on the existing PC, it first says «Please wait while Elements Organizer prepares for backup...». Then after a while I get the following error message: «Your system is low on disc space, and Elements Organizer cannot perform this operation. Try removing some files to free up disk space.»
In trying to back up to a directory on a USB-drive with 847 GB free space. Photoshop says that it will back up «Size: 143 041,10 MB» so there should be plenty of free space. I have no problem copying files to this drive so it is accessible.
Photoshop is installed on the C-drive (18,4 GB free), while my picture files are stored either on C:, on E: (46,6 GB free) or on I: (1,76 GB free).
Any suggestion for how to solve this?

Hi
I'm getting this same issue/ Also Elements 11. Backup was fine a month ago. Just wondering if you found a way to solve this.
I can do an incremental backup just fine but I want to do a full backup, Trying to get this to work to migrate to new laptop in a week or two's time.
I've tried all tips ago, incl re-indexing (which has helped organizer performance significantly)
My Catalog size to be backed up is 418GB (some of my catalog is on C: drive, but most of my videos in the catalog are stored on H: drive)
I have 865GB free on H: dirve, my target disk
I have 93GB of 451GB free on C: drive

PSE organizer v8.0 - crashes when backing up the catalog

I open the organizer, select File, then select Back-up catalog, and the pop-up window for 'Step 1 Backupp Options' appears; I select Full Backup, and then I select Next.....and crash. Program closes and a 'Crash Report for "Elements Organizer"' screen appears...saying a crash report has been generated (which I did send). Sadly this is the first attempt at backing up the catalog - 16G worth of data based on the My Pictures folder size. HELP !!! I really don't want to loose all my efforts associated with tags and organizing.

Summary/update: I'm moving my photos and catalog from a Win XP to Win 7 computer, both which have PSE8.0. Back-up wouldn't work on the old, XP, computer...kept crashing Photoshop Organizer. So I moved all the photos and the entire catalog folder (as found in /help/system info) to my new computer.
Now I'm not sure if this is a recommended method, but I replaced on the new computer the Catalog folder contents with the Catalog folder contents from the old computer. I then opened Organizer with fingers crossed. My photos were there. And my tags were there.....the most important thing I wanted to transfer. But none of the photos when selected where 'found'. So I had to go through the somewhat painful process of reconnecting my picture folders. See (www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm) (specifically, Quickly reconnecting large numbers of photos (PSE 6,7,8). I never got the 'Reconnect an entire folder tree all at once' method to work unfortunately.
I thought I was done. BUT, a LARGE chunk of photos have the wrong dates associated with them. I have 4700 photos.
QUESTION: Is there an easy to fix the dates (and not one at a time). And why would all be good but the dates. Meaning, photos are there, tags there, but dates wrong on some photos but not on others. And that's the frustrating part, I have to one by one, practicially, search for photos having a wrong date.

When backing up LR catalog to an external drive, what do I copy?

Hi,
Let me explain what I'm doing with back ups for the LR catalog. First I backup the catalog to the same drive my photos are on, simply to allow LR to access the catalog without having to power up an external drive. That LR folder contains 1.) the LR catalog, 2.) a previews file (lrdata), and a backup labeled with the date of the backup. At least once a week, however, I copy the LR file to an external hard drive, to another LR folder. I notice when doing this that the entire catalog is transferred to the external drive each time I do the copy.
Question 1: When doing a catalog backup to the photos folder, should I delete the previous backup? I.e., I did a back up today; on Saturday I'll probably do another. Should I just save the last dated backup and delete the earlier dates?
Question 2: Should I just copy the updates to the external drive? Or is it more appropriate to copy the catalog, previews, and latest update? It seems to me the latter is the best alternative, but perhaps it's not necessary.
Thanks much in advance,
BAB

there's really no right answer, but these are my recommendations
Do not make a backup of your catalog file to the same folder as the photos unless it is on a different physical hard disk than your working catalog. You can save as many backups as you want, the amount of insurance that you take out (the number of backups) is entirely up to you. I keep at least one month, and then some older catalogs as well.
I don't know what updates you are referring to, but there is no reason or benefit to copy/backup previews
Additional comments ... I strongly prefer an automated backup approach, that doesn't rely on a human being remembering and having the time to make a manual backup. Thus, I would recommend you have Lightroom automatically place the catalog backup on the external drive. I don't really know why you are opposed to powering up your external HD, that's what it was made for, to be used! Mine is powered on 100% of the time. Furthermore, if your backup to the photos folder is on the same hard drive as your working catalog, I would strongly recommend you not do this ... because the day that this disk fails (and it is 100% sure it will fail at some time in the future), you have lost your working catalog AND most recent backup and thus it is possible that you could lose nearly two weeks of work when this disk fails (and more if you just so happen to have forgotten to manually make copies to the external HD).
Additional comments 2 ... Nowhere have you mentioned making backups of all of your photos. I assume you are doing that, and if you're not, stop what you are doing, do not celebrate Hanuka or Thanksgiving, and make backups of all of your photos immediately. Of course, you might have been asking only about the catalog backups and you have done a thorough job of making backups of your photos, in which case ignore this paragraph

Back link in the portal coponent

Hi,
I developed two ivews. From the first ivew i am calling second ivew by using EPCM.doNavigate and in the second ivew i am placing one hyper link so that again i can go back to first ivew.
I called the same way but it is not showing.Is the histroy.back supports in the portal
Please can one provide me the solution
Thanks

If you are publishing a PDF why don't you store it in you KM and then create a URL iView that can be created and linked in the Portal.
