How to restore broken links after server migration in Indesign CS3???

Hi All,
I have used my google skills to no avail and everything I have read here has been a dead end for me. I can't be the only person in this situation, so hopefully someone can help!
My marketing department has reached the storage limits of our shared network drive. Located on this drive is our (HUGE) image library which acts as a single central respository serving up our indesign links (read here: we don't package files - to conserve space). We have decided that in an effort to create a true archive and have more space for our image library we need to migrate the library to a new 16 terabit Drobo (yay!).
The problem is that every INDD file that links to the current library will now suffer from broken links. We literally have hundreds of INDD files and thousands of links. The good news is...the file structure isn't changing at all! Just the server location is changing. Is there any way to to a batch update of the links that tells INDD to look for the exact same file path on a different drive?
In short:
current image library (old server): marketing/image library/photos/products/multiple product folders
new image library (new server): drobo/image library/photos/products/multiple product folders
I want to point InDesign to the new server and have it pick up the file path without having to navigate to each and every file individually. Voila!
Is this even possible? Is there any 3rd party software to help? Other architechture solutions that might be suggested?
Thanks so much for the help!
Alex

You can specify a platform-specific path name, or a path in a platform-independent format known as universal resource identifier (URI) notation, or Mac OS 9 path name (for Mac).
For example any of the following notations are valid:
Windows
c:\dir\file (Windows path name)
/c/dir/file (URI path name)
//10.44.54.70/Test/images (uniform naming convention (UNC) path name of the form //servername/sharename)
//Apple/Test/images
\\10.44.54.70\Test\images (Windows path name)
\\Apple\Test\images (Windows path name)
where 10.44.54.70 IP address of the server, Apple -- DNS name of the server, Test -- share name
Mac
The following examples assume that the startup volume is MacOSX, and that there is a mounted volume Remote.
/dir/file (Mac OS X path name)
/MacOSX/dir/file (URI path name)
MacOSX:dir:file (Mac OS 9 path name)
/Remote/dir/file (URI path name)
Remote:dir:file (Mac OS 9 path name)
Remote/dir/file (Mac OS X path name)
You can just copy a part of the path in Links panel and paste it to the script's dialog. In CS4, make sure to choose "Copy Platform Style Path" in context menu.
The case of the characters doesn’t matter: you can type both in upper and lowercase in the script's dialog. For example — Test, test, TEST, TeSt — are all the same for the script.

I can't download forms developer or discoverer

The links appear to be broken for forms developer and discoverer. Does anyone know how I can obtain these two?
Thanks.

Please try and identify which server you are downloading from and then try one of the other two. The three servers are: download-west.oracle.com, download-east.oracle.com, and download-uk.oracle.com. It should be visible in the status bar at the bottom of the browser.

Broken link ;no folder to fix it;

I am using the trail version of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3. I am
just learning use it. I had two projects to complete. One is
working perfectly. The other one isn't. I set up my home page and 3
other pages. On one of my pages, I will not return to Home. I ran
Design Check on it. It displays that I have a broken link. In the
area where it should display the folder so you can fix it, it
displays files. I have completely redid this page too many times to
count. I even redid the site from scratch. I still get this. I
didn't set up this page any differently than any other as to
returning to the Home page. Does anyone have any ideas how to
correct this? I do not know what to do.

The broken link error

Hi,
Please help me with this broken link error in Office Excel 2010. Thank you.
The problem is: a broken link cannot be removed from the file. The link was used in data validation, which refers to a list of values. After the path was corrected, it still shows there’s a broken link. Here are the details:
I have 4 files named “000TVA_Test – 3”, “000TVA_Test – 4”, “000TVA_Test – 5”, and “000TVA_Test – 6”. The posterior files were developed based on the previous files.
In Test-3, sheet “Template “, cell “L4”, “O4”, “R4”… were built as dropdown list using data validation. The list source is in the “Library” worksheet. There’s no problem so far.
Test-4 was firstly copied from Test-3. In this file I renamed the worksheet from “Library” to “Setting” and the link was broken from here. I can also fix the broken link in this file. (While I didn’t realize there was a broken link.)
In Test-5 I fixed the path, but every time when opening the file, the broken link still shows.
In Test-6 I’ve removed the data validations. The broken link is still there.
I tried to find solutions online. I tried common methods, cannot find anything in the files is still using links. I also tried the “findlink.xla” add-in, but it only worked for Test-4, and couldn’t find the link in other files.
Please help. Thank you!
I uploaded files here: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=1A97736E0ABBAA41!113&authkey=!AF5wAd9rwUPnYyE&ithint=folder%2cxlsm
Thanks again!

Hi,
Based on my tested the files downloaded, I found that Test-5 & Test-6 included the "A defined name that refers to an external workbook", Test-4 had not. (Please click Formula Tab>Name Manage, you'll see them.)
However, the Break Links command cannot break the following types of links:
A defined name that refers to an external workbook
A ListBox control with an input range that refers to an external workbook.
A DropDown control with an input range that refers to an external workbook.
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/291984/en-us (It also applies to Excel 2010)
Thus, we'd better try the workaround： re-build the Test-5 & Test 6.

Database link in forms 6i stopped working in database 10g release 2.

Hi,
We have Forms 6i with all patches added.
We were able to recompile the form that contains database link in database 10g release 1 environment. Recently we migrated to database 10g release 2.
We still can run the form (previously compiled in database 10g release 1), but when we tried to modify the form and recompile it in databbase 10g release 2,
the forms developer closed down without giving any error message.
When we removed any reference to the database link from the form, we were able to recompile the form with no problem. Database Linkd in SQL works.
The question: what do we need to do in the database 10g release 2 to make the link in forms 6i work?
Thank you. Lev.

I recently upgraded my development environment from Forms 10.1.2.0.2 to Forms 10.1.2.3 and am experiencing the same problem -- not able to COMPILE a form that references a database link. The error is: "Error 352 at line 99, column 3 Unable to access another database 'LINKNAME'". This occurs on an UPDATE statement within PL/SQL code in a form trigger that used to compile and work fine.
I tried the database link in SQL Plus and the link is working fine.
Database environment is 10g 10.2.0.3 on Windows Server 2003.
Is anyone able to do this?

Calling Stored procedure in Oracle 11g from Oracle forms developer 6i

We have Oracle 11g (11.1.0.7.0 ) database (64 bit) installed on Windows Server 2008.
In this database, we have stored procedure ABC(arg1) which is accesing a table in another instance through DB LINK. If we EXECUTE this procedure from SQL/TOAD. It runs successfully and generates the desired output.
If we write the contents of the stored procedure in the PROGRAM UNIT / ANY TRIGGER in FORM 6i then also, It runs successfully and generates the desired output.
It is also mentioned, that if we try to use any table in the same instance (and not through DBLINK) then it works fine.
However, if we try to call this stored procedure (which is accesing a table in another instance through DB LINK) from ORACLE FORMS 6i in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger then the FORM BUILDER gets hanged while compiling the form developed in FORMS 6i.
Please provide a solution to this problem.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Hemant Singh.

Forms 6i was never meant to run against a 11g database, this was not tested and is also not supported.Well, that is not completely true. Developer 6i is supported against a 11g database, but only for Oracle Apps R11. That means that for most other customers (not Apps) Forms 6i will work against an 11g database. However, only Apps R11 is supported, and patches are only created specifically for Apps. We are also running Forms 6i against an 11g database without (well, minor) problems.
In this case, you need to find a solution. You can try to put the stored procedure in a package. The package body, with the reference to the remote table, will be hidden from Forms this way.

Broken Links in iTunes - files have not been moved

Hi,
I'm running iTunes on my XP machine. I have about 10,000 tracks in my library. Every so often (well quite often nowadays) I get a load of tracks that have the exclamation mark next to them saying the file can't be found. I have not moved any of the tracks. When I double click ont he first offending track it asks if I want to locate it. I click OK, and it presents the folder where the file actually is (and always has been!) I then have to go through the rest of my library - each track with an exclamation mark just needs to be double clicked and it miraculously remembers where the file is!
OK, so the questions are:
1) Why is iTunes forgetting the locations of files that haven't moved? I'm guessing there might be some issue with the iTunes Music Library.xml - but I ahve no idea what.
2) Can I stop it happening? Obviously the best solution is to dump windows and buy a mac - which will be happening in a month or so...
3) If I can't stop it happening, is there a way for iTuens to just show me the broken links so that I can go through the double-clicking process easily?
4) If I delete the library and recreate, will iTuens remember things like bespoke artwork, ratings, etc?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
X.

+"4) Absolutely not; the ITL file holds ratings, playcount, date added and other metadata that will be lost. And you can't get it back by rebuilding your library from the XML file."+
Actually, this is exactly what you can do with the XML file. Prior to iTunes 5.0, importing the XML did not capture rating, playcounts, etc. even though the data was written to the XML file. Since then, you can recreate your Library completely by importing the XML file.
A while ago I performed two tests:
a) One where I deleted the total song references from the Library, then 'imported' the XML file (from a previously saved iteration)
b) The other, I opened iTunes with no Library database to start, forcing it to act like a new install, then imported the XML file
In both cases, the XML file was completely read, including Ratings, Play Counts and Last Played attributes. All playlists (both Smart & Static) were recreated in their proper folders. It seems to have recreated the Library almost as well as the ITL file would. Looks as if iTunes v6.0.1 (and later) now reads and uses the complete XML file upon 'import'.
I say 'almost', as there were settings differences when starting from a 'virgin' iTunes. Also (and this is important), the create/load time when using the XML file was severely long. iTunes needed to read, interpret, and act on the information within the XML file and that took a long time. At that time, I had close to 12,000 song references and over two dozen playlists. Using a 'good' backup ITL file is an almost instantaneous fix.
Bottom line: Either file will work in recreating the Library. A backup ITL file, in my opinion, is still the easiest and fastest way to recreate your Library if one has a choice. In some cases, where one cannot place the music into the correct path for the ITL file to work properly, one can globally change the XML file to reflect the new path and use that for a very close approximation. I would suggest making and archiving legacy copies of both files a big part of your backup strategy (along with the music files, of course).
Hope this clears things up for you.
Best of Luck

Reporting broken links

Is there a quick and easy mechanism to report broken links? A documentation link form help.sap.com doesn't work:
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/PftPF/en/pf_usersguide_780c.pdf
Maybe I'm blind, but I just can't seem to find a "report a dead link" type of thing.

Hello Mark,
That website doesn't have any feedback mechanism I am aware of. Just a thought, but if you post this in the forum category most related to that topic, someone from Product Management in SAP might see it as they read the forums here and the documents posted on the help.sap.com portal are written by people in the Product Management org.

RH8 fixing broken links

In RH8, I'm trying to fix broken links. I find the topics, then they move from the Broken Links folder to the correct folder but then the topic still looks like it has a broken link! Can anyone advise? here's a pic

Hello again
Unfortunately you are totally misunderstanding things. Please allow me to try and explain better.
ANY folder in your project is going to have an FPJ file inside it. This is a "behind the scenes" file that RoboHelp uses to keep track of the files that are part of the project.
In the image you provided, there are two folders in the project location with similar names:
Ranger_Help
Ranger_Help_
Only the Ranger_Help_ appears to actually be part of the project because the other folder Ranger_Help isn't appearing in the image capture showing the project inside RoboHelp. So unless something screwy happened, you should not find an FPJ file inside that folder. Then again, you may find one. It all depends on what happened.
Personally, I'd look inside the Ranger_Help folder and see if the files representing the broken links are inside. They may well be. And if so, I'd copy them to the Ranger_Help_ folder and see if that resolves things.
This project is beginning to resemble a bowl of spaghetti!
Cheers... Rick

Broken Links - Bookmarks

I recently had a lot of broken links in my project - many of
which I was able to fix. The broken links I was unable to fix, or
remove from the list, are bookmarks in the project (95 of them to
be exact.) I test the link, and it is fine - it's not broken. Why
is it showing up in the broken link list? If I try to restore the
link, I'll get an error stating that the "#" character cannot be
used in the path. The "#" character signifies that it's a bookmark,
created by RoboHelp, so I don't know why this is happening. Can
anyone assist?
Thank you,
Danni

If you are linking from the top of the topic to a bookmark in
the same topic, you don't need the filename in the link, but
correct form is with quote marks..
If the bookmark is called bookmark, the link would be
< a href="#bookmark" >Go to the bookmark</a>
(spaces inserted only for display here)
The bookmark itself would be
< a name=bookmark></a>
I hope this is relevant to your problem.
