Client in editable mode..

hi all
as DEV system is for changing .etc then wat is the need of editable mode of that client? what exactly we do in this mode? That is also for a short time duration.
Thanks,
j

Hi Jiten,
I hope I have understood your question properly and replying for the same.
Basically clients are kept open in the development system and other systems it is in closed mode.
Now your question is that y do we need three different system in landscape like Dev,Tst,PRD when we can do the same work in other client.
The reason for this is that when we implement SAP and go live with the SAP systems, the end user data is fed to the Production system only, due to which the database of PRD if you see normally is higher than Dev or Tst systems.
That means that the system is working fine without any problems. Now imagine a functional consultant asks a developer to change the program to send the invoice to some other vendor instead of the current one, then in that case the developer will have to modify the program. This can be done on the PRD also, but just imagine if the person who is working on modifying the program does some mistake,then the one which was working earlier also might not work and spoil the system. For this we require to move the changes done from dev to tst system. test it in tst system and if it is working fine then move it to PRD.
For that to generate the change request or transport request the client has to be kept open with specific conditions in SCC4.
Now opening PRD clients also is required in some case cos come of the settings like number ranges cannot be transferred from transport request so you will have to open the client for specific time period where the functional consultant would ask you to do so.
We should not keep this open for a long period cos the customization changes can be made to the production system if the client is open which can spoil the whole system settings and all the hard work.
I hope this will answer your query.
Regards,
Ravi.

Web rich client -- report tabs missing in edit mode

Hello,
A report was created in web Rich client and then was exported in the BO repository. In view mode, we
see all tabs, but in edit mode,only two tabs are displayed.
any idea please?
Thanks a lot.

hi,
I also faced the same issue.
I could replicate the issue suceessfully on a consistent basis.
STEPS to replicate the issue
1.     Create a new webi report using Island Resorts Marketing Universe
2.     Query Panel Objects
a.     Country, Resort, Service, Number of guests
3.     Run query (Tab 1 is created automatically)
a.     Report 1 u2013 Table containing above objects
4.     Right Click Report 1 - >Insert Report -> rename it to u2018Crosstabu2019
5.     Move the report tab to Left such that Crosstab appears as first tab
6.     Drag Crosstab from Templates.
a.     Pull Country and Resort objects as rows to Crosstab
b.     Pull Service as Column to Crosstab
c.     Pull Number of guests as measure to Crosstab
7.     Select Country -> Insert Break
8.     Select Resort -> Insert Break
9.     Select Resort First and Country Second -> Click on Merge Cells button
10.     Select No
11.     Now again click on Merge Cells button
12.     Select Yes this time.
13.     Save the report.
14.     View the report from Infoview. You will see both tabs
15.     Edit the report. (You cannot edit the second tab - Report 1. Edit the first tab u2018Crosstabu2019)
16.     only one tab is visible. Other tab u2018Report 1u2019 is missing.
Observations:
Report Footer appears as the top section in Map -> Structure
So my conclusion is when a reverse merge is applied on Crosstab with breaks, this issue occurs.
But i don't know how to recover the tabs in Edit mode.
Please let me know how to recover the missed tabs in Edit Mode. Also let me know the other scenarios which might lead to the same issue.

SharePoint 2010 and PowerPoint 2010: Open PPTX File in Edit Mode and Open PPSX in in Slide Show Mode

I have the following issue while opening PowerPoint PPTX file and PPSX from the Document ID link provided by SharePoint 2010.
Issue
Initially when I opened PPTX file from the DOC ID link from SharePoint 2010, it is opening up in Slide Show mode which is not how we want it to be.
For PPSX, it is opening in Slide Show mode which is what we wanted.
Thus, I did some research online and found this article at support.microsoft.com/kb/q299824 which requires some modification to the Registry of the client machine.
I did the change as follows
Open Registry
Look for “Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPoint.Show.12”
Set BrowserFlags value to a
After the change, PPTX is opening in Edit Mode in PowerPoint which is correct but PPSX is also opening in Edit Mode in PowerPoint which is not correct
This issue only occurs if I open the document from the Doc ID link in SharePoint. If the documents are downloaded, it will not have this issue.
Questions
Can I set PPTX to open in Edit Mode and PPSX to open in Browser Mode?
Is this fixed as in if I change the registry setting it will affect both file types?
Is there other ways I can achieve opening PPTX in Edit and PPSX in Browser Mode?
[Environment]
My Client machine is running on I.E 9 and Office 2010.
Thank you.

Hi,
To make the PPTX file open in Edit mode and PPSX file open in Slide Show mode, I recommend to edit the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPoint.Show.12 to 8.
I tested the scenario in my environment with changing the key value to 8, after that PPTX file opened in Edit mode and PPSX file opened in Slide Show mode.
Best regards.
Thanks

Web Service Proxy wizard doesn't open up in edit-mode anymore

I've created a web service proxy project for my existing bpel processes and since the bpel processes server has changed, the endpoint has changed as well.
When I update the endpoint in the <webservicename>_Stub.java file from the webservice proxy client everything works fine.
But when I try to go back in edit-mode inside the wizard, the wizard complains about the old endpoint url of the bpel process. If I search in the project after that specific hostname, I can't find any file or folder referring to the old url.
Could somebody explain me why I can't invoke the wizard anymore for a web service proxy client if the endpoint has changed?
Kind Regards,
Nathalie

Hi Nathalie,
Which version of JDeveloper are you using?
With the latest release, 11g Tech Preview 2, I don't think you can re-enter the wizard by double-clicking on the service proxy icon on the application navigator tree.
From the context menu, the only option is to edit handlers, add custom mapping, security or reliability.
I have found that using ant-based tasks is a better way to get predictable and reproducable outputs, even if the learning curve is not easy.
Here is just a snippet to give you a concret sample:
<target name="genproxy">
    <delete dir="./gen_src"/>
    <o :genProxy wsdl="http://${endpoint.host}/pge/webservice?WSDL" output="./gen_src"/>
    <o :genProxy wsdl="http://${endpoint.host}/pge/webservice?WSDL"
                mapheaderstoparameters="true" databinding="false" output="./gen_src"
                packagename="com.selectg"/>
</target>Hope it helps,
-Eric
I add an extra space in the XML, so that the o: prefix is displayed in the XML snippet

Page malfunction in Edit Mode

I've never had a problem before with Contribute, so it is odd
having to post to these forums. I thank anyone and everyone that
replies in advance for your assistance.
I am using Contribute 3.0 to work with a client's web site.
Unfortunately, one of the pages loses all of the content in between
the header and footer, and I'm not quite sure what's going on. It
looks just fine in the "browse" mode of Contribute -- as well as in
any regular web browser. The only time it looks bad is in Edit mode
-- and it is the only page on the site that does this.
You can see the page as it looks in Contribute here:
http://www.dreadnoughtwines.com/listpage_error-screenshot.jpg
I've looked at the code for the site, and I can't figure out
what's going on. Can anyone help me at all? I'd really appreciate
it!
Regards,
Joe

I had this same problem, I was able to fix it by putting full
paths to my CSS and image files. However I still have another
problem in Edit Mode myself, I created a region, where I can edit
the main text block on the page. However I am only able to use the
mouse to edit the bottom half of the text. I can use my keyboard to
arrow up to the lines above this and add the text. The other odd
thing is, when I start typing text, it doesn't show up. But when I
review the page on the temporary URL, it does display the updated
text. Anyone seen this problem?

How to bring the Tcode FI12 in Production System in EDITABLE mode

Dear Sir/Madam,
The T code - FI12 is not in editable mode in Production System. Is it by default remains in NON Editable mode ? Our FI consultant is saying that the users needed it in Editable mode for maintaining BSR Code.
To bring it to Editable Mode, I have to open the Production Client. Is there any alternate exists to bring this Tcode ( FI12 ) in Edtable mode other than Opening the Client ?
Thanks and Regards,
Pranab

Users needed in editable mode
Is this a one time activity or a permanent?
You can transport the changes from DEV to PRO without opeing a client.
OR
You can create a cusomize tcode with same functionality with secondary index to use the same entities in editable mode.
Just work with your ABAPer and get it done.

Add available taskflows without going into Edit Mode

Hi All,
I am stuck with a client requirement. Let me tell you the problem.
We are developing a WebCenter portal application for two types of users customer and partner.
Suppose i have created 10 taskflows. Out of 10 TFs, 4 are mandatory (common) which we have to enforce the users to see after login. Now out of rest 6 TFs, customer user can add 3 TFs and partner users can add another 3 TFs. The TFs which the user can add should be listed down (by name) on the right side of page. Say if i am a customer user then i can see 4 mandatory TFs and rest 3 TF checkboxes will be available for me to add (On the right side of page). If i added the 5th one then only two TFs should remain for me to be added further. The main problem i am facing is the user don't want to go to edit mode otherwise all TFs he/she is entitled to view as per their user group, they could have added it.
How to show the remaining taskflows according to the security group of users in view mode itself.
Let me know if you need any more clarification on understanding my problem.
Awaiting your reply.
Thanks

Hi All,
Anybody implemented this feature or similar requirements. Kindly throw some light on it.

C# COM server events "lost" when raising events while Excel is in edit mode

I posted this question on StackOverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23798443/c-sharp-com-server-events-lost-when-raising-events-while-excel-is-in-edit-mode) but did not receive a good answer, so I'm trying my luck here.
I have an in-proc COM server written in C# (using .NET Framework 3.5) that raises COM events based on this example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd8bf0x3(v=vs.90).aspx
Excel VBA is the most common client of my COM server. I’ve found that when I raise COM events while Excel is in edit mode (e.g. a cell is being edited) the event is “lost”. Meaning, the VBA event handler is never called (even after the Excel
edit mode is finished) and the call to the C# event delegate passes through and fails silently with no exceptions being thrown. Do you know how I can detect this situation on my COM server? Or better still, make the event delegate call block until
Excel is out of edit mode?
I have tried:
Inspecting the properties of the event delegate – could not find any property to indicate that the event failed to be raised on the client.
Calling the event delegate directly from a worker thread and from the main thread – event not raised on the client, no exceptions thrown on the server.
Pushing the event delegate onto a worker thread’s Dispatcher and invoking it synchronously – event not raised on the client, no exceptions thrown on the server.
Pushing the event delegate onto the main thread’s Dispatcher and invoking it synchronously and asynchronously – event not raised on the client, no exceptions thrown on the server.
Checking the status code of the Dispatcher.BeginInvoke call (using DispatcherOperation.Status) – the status is always ends with “Completed”, and is never in “Aborted” state.
Creating an out-of-proc C# COM server exe and tested raising the events from there – same result, event handler never called, no exceptions.
Since I get no indication that the event was not raised on the client, I cannot handle this situation in my code.
I have tested this with Excel 2010 and Excel 2013.
Here is a simple test case. The C# COM server:
namespace ComServerTest
public delegate void EventOneDelegate();
// Interface

I register it using regasm:
%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm /codebase ComServerTest.dll /tlb:ComServerTest.tlb
Excel VBA client code:
Public WithEvents managerObj As ComServerTest.ManagerClass
Public g_nCounter As Long
Sub TestEventsFromWorkerThread()
Set managerObj = New ComServerTest.ManagerClass
Dim dtStart As Date
dtStart = DateTime.Now
g_nCounter = 0
Debug.Print "Start"
' Starts the worker thread which will raise the EventOne event every few seconds
managerObj.StartThreadWork ""
Do While True

Exit Do
End If
Loop
Debug.Print "Done"
End Sub
Sub TestEventFromMainThread()
Set managerObj = New ComServerTest.ManagerClass
Debug.Print "Start"
' This call will raise the EventOne event
managerObj.MethodAAA ""
Debug.Print "Done"
End Sub
' EventOne handler
Private Sub managerObj_EventOne()
Debug.Print "EventOne " & g_nCounter
g_nCounter = g_nCounter + 1
End Sub
This problem also occurs for a C++ MFC Automation server that raises COM events. If I raise the COM event from the main thread when Excel is in edit mode, the event handler is never called. No errors or exceptions are thrown on the server,
similar to my C# COM server. However, if I use the Global Interface Table to marshal the event sink interface from the main thread
back to the main thread, then invoking the event - it will block while Excel is in edit mode. (I also used COleMessageFilter to disable the busy dialog and not responding dialogs, otherwise I'd receive the exception:
RPC_E_CANTCALLOUT_INEXTERNALCALL It is illegal to call out while inside message filter.)
Knowing that, I tried to do the same on my C# COM server. I could instantiate the Global Interface Table (using the definition from pinvoke.net) and the message filter (using the IOleMessageFilter definition from MSDN). However, the event still
gets "lost" and does not block while Excel is in edit mode.
Here's my additional C# code to try to make use of the Global Interface Table:
namespace ComServerTest
// Global Interface Table definition from pinvoke.net
ComImport,
InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown),
Guid("00000146-0000-0000-C000-000000000046")
interface IGlobalInterfaceTable
uint RegisterInterfaceInGlobal(
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.IUnknown)] object pUnk,
[In] ref Guid riid);
void RevokeInterfaceFromGlobal(uint dwCookie);
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.IUnknown)]
object GetInterfaceFromGlobal(uint dwCookie, [In] ref Guid riid);
ComImport,
Guid("00000323-0000-0000-C000-000000000046") // CLSID_StdGlobalInterfaceTable
class StdGlobalInterfaceTable /* : IGlobalInterfaceTable */
public class ManagerClass : IManagerClass
//...skipped code already mentioned in earlier sample above...
//...also skipped the message filter code for brevity...
private Guid IID_IDispatch = new Guid("00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046");
private IGlobalInterfaceTable m_GIT = null;
public ManagerClass()
//...skipped code already mentioned in earlier sample above...
m_GIT = (IGlobalInterfaceTable)new StdGlobalInterfaceTable();
public void FireEventOne()
// Using the GIT to marshal the (event?) interface from the main thread back to the main thread (like the MFC Automation server).
// Should we be marshalling the ManagerEvents interface pointer instead? How do we get at it?
uint uCookie = m_GIT.RegisterInterfaceInGlobal(this, ref IID_IDispatch);
ManagerClass mgr = (ManagerClass)m_GIT.GetInterfaceFromGlobal(uCookie, ref IID_IDispatch);
mgr.EventOne(); // when Excel is in edit mode, event handler is never called and does not block, event is "lost"
m_GIT.RevokeInterfaceFromGlobal(uCookie);
I’d like my C# COM server to behave in a similar way to the MFC Automation server. Is this possible? I think I should be registering the ManagerEvents interface pointer in the GIT but I don't know how to get at it? I tried using Marshal.GetComInterfaceForObject(this,
typeof(ManagerEvents)) but that just throws an exception: System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.
Thanks.

Hi Jason-F,
I’ve found that when I raise COM events while Excel is in edit mode (e.g. a cell is being edited) the event is “lost”. Meaning,
the VBA event handler is never called (even after the Excel edit mode is finished) and the call to the C# event delegate passes through and fails silently with no exceptions being thrown.
Do you mean you didn't raise EventOne event? EventOne handler like following?
' EventOne handler
Private Sub managerObj_EventOne()
Debug.Print "EventOne " & g_nCounter
g_nCounter = g_nCounter + 1
End Sub
After test your code, here is my screenshot
And here is my execute log in C# ComServerTest.

Correctly Hide Edit Mode Elements in Preview Mode

Hello,
I wanted to know how I should modify the code below to correctly show content in the correct mode? The code below works, but when switching to preview mode, I have to manually refresh the page to get the "Preview/Publish mode text" to disappear. I'm aware I could modify the sidekick to force a refresh, but I'd prefer to do it similarly to how CQ does it (eliminate all edit mode components immediately without refreshing the page). Thoughts?
import="com.day.cq.wcm.api.WCMMode"
<%
    if ((WCMMode.fromRequest(request) == WCMMode.EDIT) || (WCMMode.fromRequest(request) == WCMMode.DESIGN)) {
        %><div>Edit mode only text</div><%
    } else {
        %><div>Preview/Publish mode text</div><%
%>

Hi,
As the above code is evaluated server side and edit/preview is triggered client side this approach will not work for you.
You could use the fact that CQ is adding "cq-wcm-edit" class to page body in edit mode and "cq-wcm-preview" in preview and hide your divs by CSS.

How can I edit a page which uses jQuery Tabs that are hidden in edit mode?

My client cannot update the html5 css3 jQuery tabs as they are not visible on the page in edit mode. Is there anyway that he can update with Contribute 6.5 or is there any other CMS which would allow him to update it?

Hello ,
To make scripts visible in edit mode follow the below mentioned steps.
1) Administer the website.
2) Select the role and click Edit role settings.
3) Uncheck the option "Protect scripts, forms and spry widgets".
4) Click OK to save and exit.
Hope this solves your problem.

Hi, I'm the web designer. Here are answers from the client Glenn who
is doing the updates.
He has tried on a PC and a Mac. Works fine for me.
Is this happening all the time, on each copy and paste? - yes
Or it's working for a while than it suddenly stops working?
It did work for a while then stopped. Then yesterday worked once. Then
stopped.
Is this happening on a specific page or on all pages?
I'm only working on one page..
Please provide a link to a page where copy & paste doesn't work and
eventually invite me as an editor (mailto:[email protected]).

Can't open photos in edit mode

I can;t open photos in edit mode in iPhoto '08. When I double click on a photo the main window remains blank (no "!" no"?"). This problem occurs with every photo in the library. My permissions are OK. I've also tried setting the preferences to edit in Photoshop but double clicking on the photos then still accomplishes nothing.

Steve:
Do you get a blank white window in the edit mode? If so that may mean you do not have access to the files. Try the following:download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
FYI:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can't view photos in edit mode

Hello,
I just upgraded to iPhoto '08, and while I can view all my thumbnails ok, the photos themselves won't load at all in edit mode.
I was using iPhoto to try to"jumpstart" my iWeb (per my other help request in another topic) when I noticed this.
I have Leopard 10.5.2, iPhoto 7.1.2 and a 1.8 GHz processor and 512 MB RAM in my upgraded G4 tower. I tried deleting the preferences file, rebuilding the library file, opening in another account, etc, with no luck. I had even just erased my hard drive and cleanly re-installed Leopard, etc. with still the same problems in both apps. Do I just need to add more memory perhaps? I can't think of anything else...?Does Leopard require much more memory than Panther (which I had before) to run properly?
Thanks,
Paul

I've had the what sounds like the exact same problem with iPhoto '08. I, too, have an upgraded 1.8 GHz G4 (AGP Graphics) running OS 10.5.3 (although the original installation was 10.5.1 and the same problem occurred before the software updates). When I try to edit a photo, the edit window opens but no picture appears. Clicking on the various editing tools and manipulating them (blindly, on a blank screen) shows that editing is actually taking place, and that changes can be saved.
An earlier post of mine concerned the first problem I noticed since my OS and processor updates; namely, that the DVD player app won't work, but instead returns an error message saying that a valid device could not be found for playback. Several responses to that post seemed to suggest that the ATI Rage 128 video card might be the culprit and that it would need to be replaced. In the past week I've been on the phone or in email contact with tech support people at ATI, Sonnet, Other World Computing, and Apple, the last being the least knowledgeable of all of them, I'm sorry to say.
The Sonnet guy personally runs a computer just like mine, but with the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac video card. That item costs $209 at OWC. But ATI says it won't work because of the G4's 200 power supply.
These folks think that the iPhoto problem would be solved by the new video card -- but I'm not yet convinced I want to spend that kind of money to find out. Most also say that the DVD Player issue would be fixed, although the OWC guy says it has nothing to do with it.
So we're going blind here, with much conflicting expert opinion. I'll keep watching for further discussion.
