Cprojects and object links to other project phases

Hi experts,
Have anyone of you some ideas how to creating a object link to another phase in another project? Are there possibilites for enhancing the the type of objects link via a BAPI or something in cProjects 4.0?
Thanks, Camilla

Hi Camella,
You can try this in IMG activity
"Make Settings for the Linked SAP Objects". But you need to try copy an existing entry and change relevant tables parameters
I have done this for R/3 Transaction in cProjects 4.0 + ECC 6.0 and Iam sure it will work for Project Phase also
Pls,let me know the version you are trying this feature
regards,
Ramakrishna

Link to other project - CAPS error

Using Captivate 3 and publishing as htm/swf files
I have created a menu - each button links to another Captivate project (that is a .cp file)
One of the 5 buttons was linked to Create_send_email.cp.
To publish in our LMS I renamed the file create_send_email.cp. (It prefers all lower case)
Captivate won't allow me to change the link.
Every time I delete the Create_send_email Project, and browse to select the create_send_email.cp project it simple reinstates the upper case C.
Btw I havbe browsed the KBase and the forums... and I gether there is an issue with linking to other projects. Also read about the cache in Captivate 5 but perhaps not relevant here??
Thanks

This error appears have to sorted itself after I republished everything - perhaps the upper case C displayed in the Button properties was removed by the publish process.

How to export/Import default prefs and object styles with no project open?

I would like to export my preferences and object styles with no projects open and them import them on my team's machines so that no matter what project we create, we all start from the SAME set of defaults. When I open captivate and check both with no projects open, there is no ability to import/export. I know I could open a project and export, but then importing is an issue.
I'm using CP8 on a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine.
Help?
Thx.
Lori

After a fresh install I start by editing the Preferences globally, that means by using Edit, Preferences before opening any project (like switching to Expert UI, default language, replacing feedback captions by shapes). There is indeed no way to import preferences from a specific file. I will do the same for some object styles (like creating a blank Highlight box for audio objects). You can only export/import from and to a project, same like for all Library assets.
However the Object styles: they are part of the default theme, along with their theme colors, master slides and skin. You cannot edit everything without having a project open. I would recommend to create a custom theme in a project, in which you have all the wanted object styles. Changing the theme colors (you can have a custom theme color palette) will change partially colors of the objects. Once you set that theme as default theme, you'll have all the object styles in the projects that use the default theme.
To transfer Preferences, custom themes to another machine, maybe this article could help you out. It was written for a different purpose, but you'll find the location of a lot of files that you could transfer in this post:

Any speed difference between Apple Wifi Router(air express) and Tp link(or others) wifi router)

Any speed difference between Apple Wifi Router(air express) and Tp link(or others) wifi router?
I'm using a tp link router and sometimes it takes a long time delay for my 2 mac computers to connect each other. I don't know this is because of the router compability or the computers.

Anyone knows?

Easy DMS and object links

Hi
I have added cProjects object links from DMS. It works fine if I create an object link from cProjects, but if I add an object link from DMS there is no link created in cProjects. Ideas anyone??
Regards Camilla

Hi Camilla,
Regarding your description I would kindly ask you to check your
object link settings.
To grant that allways the currenct screens and authorizations were
called please maintain also the value "1" into the "Authorization"
column. For further informations on this maintainance please see the
attached note 375452. It's important that you not enter the mentioned
screen number wihtout the leading "1" as this number is added
automatically by the system (e.g. object MARA 1201 maintain like MARA
201). You can do this in customizing under:
Transaction SPRO
> Cross-Application-Component
    > Document Management
         > Control Data
             > Define screen for object links
If you need the dynpro number or object you will find all standard SAP
objects and their screen number in function module CV130 (Screens) by
transaction SE80. Please maintain all necessary SAP objects.
Best regards,
Christoph

Using Captivate 4: Link to other project is not working

hi,
I am using Captivate4. I want to give action to the click button to open other project, but it is not working. What should I do, any specific settings, so that it start working.
Thanks in advance.
Lucky

Hi again
Ideally, yes. You typically see the best and most predictable result when linking like to like. If you are willing to live with the idiosyncracies of mixing output formats, you are also free to link EXE to SWF or Vice Versa.

Publishing external files and their links when all project is published on CD

I am restricted to publishing my whole project on CD. The project is divided up into lessons (individual projects), which I link to each lesson by creating a button to link to a URL/file and link to the html file. In select lessons, I have SWF's, PDF's that I link to a new window and not continue playing the project.
How do I set up a whole project to link to consecutive lessons as well as SWF's and PDF's that all have to reside on the CD?
I'm at a loss because my links end up being broken when I publish to a CD...

Hello again
In a perfect world we would see that there would be no issues with linking. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world.
In Captivate 3, you could create a link to an asset such as a Microsoft Word document, Adobe PDF document, Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or whatever. Once you did this, you simply ensured that the asset was in the same folder as the Captivate output linking to it. Most of the time things just worked. But sometimes we saw that instead of opening the asset, the browser opened and couldn't find it. The odd part of all this was that the address listed in the browser address bar was actually correct. And if you just clicked there and pressed Enter, voilà! The asset popped open.
In Captivate 3 you had a companion application called MenuBuilder. This application was intended to be used to link to assorted files. It was like a Captivate that was very limited in scope. It created what I refer to as "one slide wonders". I discovered this application could help when you needed to create a link that would work.
Do you have Captivate 3 handy? If so, you may be able to use the companion MenuBuilder application to overcome some limitations.
If you don't happen to have it handy, shoot me an E-Mail message at rstone75 (at) kc (dot) rr (dot) com and tell me the exact file names you need to link to. I'll be happy to create some small SWF files and send them back that will help with the linking.
Hopefully this was helpful... Rick

Link to other project

Hi!
I am a Captivate beginner. I am trying to link to another project from a button. I selected:
If user clicks on button:
On Success - Open other project
Project - (Name of project)
When I try to project it to test it out, I get the following message: "The project (Name of project).htm, (Name of project).swf is launched at this point but is unavailable from this preview."
What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help!!!!

Hi there
You aren't doing anything wrong. You are testing from a Preview. The message is telling you that you will need to Publish it to see it in action.

Updating projects with activities linked to other projects.

Im kind of new at this. I am working on a project with several contracts. i am thinking of setting up each contract as a separate project in an EPS and linking the milestones in all the projects to create a master schedule. On a weekly basis i recieve schedule updates from the contractors. What im wondering is if there is a way i can copy the new schedule in with all the updates without having to re-link all the activities everytime I get an updated schedule? also is this the best way to create a master schedule?

*794503,*
It sounds like your sub projects (contracts) are in sort of a design on the go mode?
To make things a little more manageable I would suggest that you establish a set of standard start and finish milestones for each project in order for you to be able to ensure that your master project major milestones (hopefully integrated with your cost or earned value milestones) remain logically tied to those designated sub project milestones.
With that said, I would just paste the new edition of each contract's schedule into their respective projects. I would make an export (.XER) backup before pasting any new data. It's better to be safe than sorry!
Be mindful of the fact that you probably need to make sure that the logic ties gets pasted by not clicking the box (Relationships / Only between copied activities) on the "Copy Act. Options" dialog box. Otherwise, you'll have to manually tie all of the logic again. A royal pain in the "A" double "S"!!
**Use a copy of the latest project/contract schedule update and as a baseline. Format your bars to also display that baseline schedule on row #2. Also insert a schedule variance column to display date changes between your original vs. newly updated schedule. For analysis of changes.....maybe build a new layout and filter to only display those act's that have major date changes (sched. variances)?
**Another tool to use after the fact would be *"Claim Digger"* in order to analyze the details of what changes were made with each new schedule update.
There is no way to eliminate all of the manual work. :( Some manual verification will always have to be performed.
It would be very smart to get a good grip on how you'll handle these changes early in the project before the situation gets out of hand.
For every "schedule change" made to your schedule the chance of a scheduling error increases. So there you go.
Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

Importing Slides and Objects from another Captivate Project

Hello,
I'm working in Captivate 4. I am creating an updated version of a course which was also created in Captivate 4. The course consists of slides imported from PowerPoint as well as screencaptures from an application.
To save time, rather than re-creating all the objects, I imported them from the older course. However, after I did that, any attempt to insert any standard objects (rollover images in this case) gave me an error message and the application shut down. The file is completely corrupted. Does anyone have any idea why this happened? The only other thing I can think of is that I do tend to copy and paste images onto slides (rather than using the insert functionality). Although most of the time, the application allows it, sometimes it locks up the course. Could that be the culprit? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Seems indeed that something got corrupted, could be a slide (or more) or objects. But it is difficult to tell the real cause. To detect the culprit, try to copy to a new blank project (same resolution), but not all slides at once. How did you copy/paste images: from another application or between slides? If it is from a graphical app please use the Insert function to preserve quality.

Netscape.cfg error on startup and no linking from other programs...

When I start up Firefox 4.0.1, it gives an error message regarding a netscape.cfg file. If I happened to use a link embedded in an email to open Firefox, it does not appropriately link -- instead it still goes to my homepage. If Firefox is already open, it will link from another program.
I am not the only person having this problem.

Menchar,
Where did you get this application, and has it ever worked before? What version of Measurement Studio, Visual Studio, and NI-Daq was it built on ? If it has worked before, what changed, and is it possible to strip down any parts, so you can test the pieces individually rather than the program as a whole? Also are you getting NTDLL errors while doing anything else on this computer? It may be a corrupt NTDLL.dll file http://www.downloadatoz.com/howto/How-to-resolve-ntdll-dll-error.html.
You can view the OCX file path if you go to Project » Add to Project » Components and Controls and select a specific CW control under the Registered ActiveX Controls. I have attached a screenshot showing an OCX file pat.

Find Text and create link to other PDF

Hi all,
I need to know if the following is possible with either Javascript or VBA..
- Open a PDF
- Find all text that starts by a specific set of character (let's say in this case '1M-')
- For each text found, Select the entire word (not just 1M-) and..
-Highlight it or change its color
- create a link to an other PDF. (the other PDF will have the name of the selected text).
- Save the PDF and close it.
I already started using VBA, but I'm not a 'expert' programmer.
Thanks
Marc

Would it be possible only with VB/VBA ?
Just so I get this straight. When it's Javascript.. is it internal to a PDF file or it could be Javascript in a HTML page ?
If it's in the HTML page only, can I do everything in Javascript ?
I'm sorry for those question but I'm really not a pro in programming.. I'm more on the mechanical side and just want to help my company to get a better product .
Thanks
MA

CProjects object link greyed out in DMS

Hi Everyone,
We have cProjects 4.5 setup in our environment.The RFC connections to SAP DMS have been established. DIR's of all 'Document Types' can be assigned to a project successfully.
Now,in DMS, for a DIR XYZ,'cProjects Elements' object link has been established.However, when we attempt to add a Element in cProject Elements, the netire section gets greyed out and a message is displayed as follows.
" Object link to DPR_OBJLNK cannot be changed in this transaction,Message no. 26321 ". Its understood that linking cannot be performed from CV0*n transactions. In that case,from where would this feature be enabled?
Regards,
Pradeepkumar Haragoldavar

Hi.
we have the same problem.
SAP ECC 6.0 on client 300, cProject on client 400, RFC connection established.
From cProject we can link DMS documents to tasks.
But, in DMS we can't see the link to the cProject task (object DPR_OBJLNK).
Is it possibile to see cProject tasks linked from the DMS documents ?
Is it possible to link cProject tasks directly from DMS documents ?
Thanks.

Can I create a custom table of contents and link to other .pdf files based on responses to a form?

Hey Everyone! First post ever, so bear with me:
I'm trying to create a streamlined method to use a form to let myself and others add information and select certain options to put together a custom table of contents. Basically, I would like to have a form with a series of text fill and single/multiple choice options that will automatically populate a table of contents based on the selections and will link to other .pdf files that are associated with the selections. I was hoping this would be possible with a form, but I'm relatively new to the function of the software as a whole and my research came up short. Any suggestions on how to start are more than welcome, and if I wasn't quite clear enough I would be happy to elaborate.
Thanks for your time!

You would need to search for other PDF creation software that can accomplish what you desire.
There are many cheaper PDF creation alternatives other than Adobe's Acrobat Pro software.
Also, try doing a web search under these terms to see if you can find an app/software/solution that may work for you.

Object links to other SAP objects
You can make an object link to SAP objects that are not shown in the
    possible entries list. To do this, proceed as follows:
o   In the standard system, there are already two special screens for
        the module pools SAPLCV130 and SAPLCV140 for the linked SAP object.
        You must create two new screens with the same number for the module
        pools SAPLCV130 and SAPLCV140 .
        The processing logic must follow that of screen 1204 in program
        SAPLVC130.
o   Create function module OBJECT_CHECK_XXXX (XXXX = object name)
-   If the object can be classified, this function module already
            exists .
-   Otherwise copy the function module for linking equipment
            DOCUMENT_CHECK_EQUI and change it as required for the new
This is little bit technical and I am not able to understand.

Hi,
from my point of view the best way to manage these documents in the HR transaction PA10, PA20, PA30 instead linking documents to HR objects.
In the standard there is no suitable object for document-object links. Please see all the available SAP standard objects in SE80, function group CV130 under screens.
So you can go to PA30 and use the service for object button in the upper left corner. Here you can add business documents for each person.
