DAM Asset Editor Issue

Hi All,
I am facing one issue regarding the asset editor in cq 5.5 sp2.
When I open image by browsing through the folders in DAM every thing works fine. It shows all the data below the image and image type , Publish to Scene7 link as well.
When I open the same image by searching it wont show image type and publish to scene7 link.
Problem here is for the same image it shows different views when we open it in different ways. Internally if the image type is not coming then it will take default asset editor(instead of jpeg asset editor) because of this some of the metadata changes (custom metadta cahnges which we need) in the center page are not showing up when we open the image by searching.
Thanks,
Maruthi

I've been struggling with this same issue on the same platform (5.5 sp2). Here is what I know so far:
When you are browsing the DAM tree under the Digital Assets tab and open a jpg, then the asset editor retrieves a list of image-specific fields from /apps/dam/content/asseteditors/image/jpeg/formitems .
When you use the DAM Search tab to find the jpg, then the asset editor retrieves the list of generic fields from /apps/dam/content/asseteditors/formitems .
This issue also affects PDFs. The Digital Assets tab will use the pdf-specifc fields from /apps/dam/content/asseteditors/application/pdf/formitems but the Search tab will use the generic fields from /apps/dam/content/asseteditors/formitems .
In other words, the DAM Search widget isn't loading the desired fields into the asset editor. You can force the asset editor to load the correct fields by refreshing your entire browser. I may try to patch this by overlaying the DAM Search widget if I can find it.

Extending DAM Asset Editor formitems and grouping new fields into a widgetcollection

Hi,
I'm a newbie so be kind pretty please...
We have a requirement for one of the websites hosted on our CQ instance to have some extended DAM properties for PDF files.
Eg. Summary (textfield) and Search Weighting (selection)
We have added a new namespace with our new items/properties underneath:
/apps/dam/option/metadata/edexcel
We’ve also extended the pdf asset editor by adding the new fields to formitems under:
/apps/dam/content/asseteditors/application/pdf/formitems
And we are getting the expected result in DAM editor in that when we choose to open a PDF we have new fields to edit our new properties.
We have also been able to prove that using group permissions we can tailor it so that only specific website authors see these extended PDF fields; essentially making the extension local to an individual website.
The issue we are having is trying to assign group permissions so that we can deploy and maintain these in the best possible way. What we are trying to do is group these new fields in formitems into a widgetcollection so that we can assign the permissions we need at one widgetcollection level rather than needing to assign at individual field level.
I have tried creating a widgetcollection under formitems and adding my new fields within and this works ok up until the point when I try to assign read permission at the widgetcollection level. Then what happens is I can no longer ‘open’ a PDF at all.
Is there a way that we can do this? Can you suggest any alternative solutions please?
Many thanks in advance
Claire

Thank you jorg, so you say by applying ACL and deny read access for project B, and if Dam folder is Overlayed under apps such as apps/dam, I can restrict modified version of DAM for project B thereby ProjectB using the foundation Dam and have modified version of dam for project A? Please correct me if I am wrong, since I have the jsp's such as child asset and metadata editor jsp modified after being overlayed.

Adding new metadata in DAM asset editor

Hi All,
I have a requirement wherein two projects reside on same instance, apps/ProjectA and apps/ProjectB . Now Project A has DAM customized, ie. a new metadata added and hence files, /apps/dam/content/asseteditors/formitems and folders with files under /apps/dam/gui/components have been modified to take care of creation of new metadata. Now my question is, Is it possible to have such DAM changes constrained to projectA alone, and Project B using default DAM?
Is it possible to overlay DAM inside the apps/ProjectA alone?
Kindly let me know.

NZ

DAM Asset Share / Asset Editor

I created DAM Asset Share / Asset Editor pages and customizied metadata on editor. I created them in dam admin - New - New Asset Share .... That created both asset editor and asset share pages and I customized them. I configured query builder of that asset share to point to the new asset editor.
But how can I change the asset editor assigned by default to the DAM Assets? For e.g. When I log into damadmin, any asset I open under Geometrix Outdoors or Geometrix is opened with the default asset editor. If I create any asset in a site for e.g. myWebsite, then the asset is opened via default asset editor. How can I modify that editor or override that editor with a custom one?

As far as i know asset share and asset editor are form based application which allows to edit/view shared resources available at paths configured in asset shares (in application itself). To edit any of listed resource in asset share you can use "edit metadata" link under "action" in left column after selecting the asset.
If you want to apply the asset editor globaly on applications you should override it from "/libs/dam/content/asseteditors" to "/apps" (i hope this may work)
you can also refer http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/dam/creating_and_configuringdamfinderandasseteditorp ages.html

Java web start error running Asset Editor or any jnlp page

When I try to launch Asset Editor or Import/Export or any of the jnlp pages that runs using Java Web Start, I get an error. Java 7 Web start starts but It throws “Could not connect to Server. Please check your Java Web Start and Browser proxy settings”.
I read conflicting opinions on the internet as to what version of JRE/JDK is needed and potentially some issues running Java Web start with Java 7. I have 64-bit java 1.7.0_45 JDK/JRE installed and no other version. I tried installing 32-bit 1.7.0_45 as well. I have tried to run it from 32-bit as well as 64-bit browser also. All situations provide the same error.
However, when I install JRockit, it seems to work fine. But we cannot use jrockit. We have to use IBM JDK/JRE 7 eventually. Currently, the java web start does not work on Oracle Java as well as IBM JRE.
Any help is much appreciated.

I found a solution for this problem. We have to apply patch 17634436.

Just thought it will be useful for anyone encountering this problem.

OER - Asset Editor Tree View unfiled items

I am using OER 11.1.1.5.0 and in the Asset Editor Tree View I can see general categories of 'Unsubmitted', Submitted' and 'Registered' with various sub-categoreis under each main category. I am puzzled why an Asset which appears in the Tree View initially as as Submitted / Pending Review / DAC Interface / CB Interface should, once all the submission, acceptance and registration stages have been completed, appear under Registered / Unfiled / CB Interface whilst another Asset should appear initially as Submitted / Pending Review / DAC Product / DAC Product - Portal appears, having undergone the same registration processes, as Registered / DAC Product / DAC Product - Portal.
I cannot find any information in the documentation regarding 'Unfiled' assets nor can I see any difference between the Asset Types for these two assets which might cause this to happen.
Can anybody shed any light on this issue ?
Thanks
Chris

It works for me after I did a small tweak by as mine is a demo install.
Idea - is to make an security exception for the OER url in Java control console
Steps to do that :
1.Go to the control panel and uninstall the 64 bit version of Java
Open Programs and Features and select the 64 bit version of Java and select Uninstall.
2.Open up the Java Control Panel
Found as an option in the standard windows control panel
3.Check the version by clicking on the About Tab
If this is not what you expected you can go to java.com and download the latest version.
4.Click on the Security Tab in the Java Control Panel
5.Click on the Edit Site List button in the lower RH corner of the control panel
6.Add your URL to be allowed
Enter the full path that you use to access this such as https://myequallogics.com or the IP address if that is how you access it (as in http://192.168.0.100 - Https is recommended by Oracle.) Once complete hit OK. You should now see the exception on the security page.
7.Close out of the control panel.
8.You can now acess your site through the browser window.
Thanks to Java error: Missing required Permissions manifest attribute in main jar - Spiceworks for letting me know this.

Launching Asset Editor in OER throws exception

Hi,
While Launching Asset Editor, in the middle of my work, I started facing one issue.
From OER Console (http://localhost:7101/oer), when I click on Edit/Manage Assets Link, it downloads registrartool.jnlp file.
When I double click on this file, It launches Asset Editor but this editor does not have Action Menu and also, it does not show any assets under different folders.
On Server, I get exception as

Looks as while launching jnlp file, security context was not carried. Did anyone face this issue? Earlier it was working fine. Just in the middle, it started giving this error.
I have deleted all temp files from my machine. I have deleted server's tmp folder which contains cache but it is of no help.
If anyone has faced this issue, Please suggest.
Thanks,
Parshant

Solved the problem locally. It appears that one of the related projects copied an older version of the javafx jar file from our repository because the project had the checkbox for copying dependent libraries selected. Meanwhile the JDK is using the latest JDK. The apparent conflict was resolved by unselecting the copy dependent libraries checkbox in the properties window for that project.

Default java / jsp file which gets executed before DAM asset rendering

Hi,
I have a requirement to implement access control on DAM assets on the basis of a metadata property (tags).
Is there a default JAVA / JSP file which gets executed before rendering a DAM asset?
If yes, how can I override it?
If no, how can I add a new JSP / JAVA file to be executed before rendering of each DAM asset?
Thanks in advance,
Anurag

Hello Anuran,
I dont think there is any api which is executed when you rendering any DAM asset on page component because for each type of DAM asset there are different APIs available which you use the render those dam asset like "Image" class to render the image asset.
Each dam asset also support having different rendition format and if you are interested in that then refer http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/javadoc/com/day/cq/dam/api/DamEvent.Type.html
Please let me know if you need more information
Thanks,
Pawan

Dam:asset scripts location

Hello,
I dont find the location of the dam:assets scripts. For example the assetthumbnail script which is launched when you update one asset's thumbnail via this url /assetname.jpg.assetthumbnail.html .
Where these scripts are located ?

This is handled by a servlet in the cq-dam-core bundle.
It can only be seen as component in the felix web console: http://localhost:4502/system/console/components/com.day.cq.dam.core.impl.servlet.Thumbnail SetterServlet
Cheers,

Restrict custom metadata for DAM assets

Can we restrict custom metadata to appear only for a few DAM assets? For eg, I have assets under two folders, myProject1 and myProject2 in DAM. Suppose I want the custom metadata fields to show up only for the assets under myProject1, can that be done? If yes, how?
This is with respet to the details in http://wem.help.adobe.com/enterprise/en_US/10-0/wem/dam/how_to_edit_metadata.html

Hey Sham,
I have customized the granite interface to have the additional metadata field.
I have even overlayed /apps/dam/gui/content/assets/metadataeditor/items/content/col2/image/items to add an additional metadata node , to be present in the granite interface, but i see that it works fine for "projectA", ie. both png and jpeg files have the sample metadata in the granite interface, but the .png files of projects, other than "projectA" eg geometrixx have the sample metadata field, while the jpg files dont, after using the function: function(f, r, p) { if (p.indexOf("/content/dam/project/providers") != 0) { f.hide(); } return true;.
Kindly suggest where i have gone wrong.

NZ

Comment feature to Dam:assets

Hello,
I would like to add comments to our DAM assets.
I created a node comments owning the propertysling:resourcetype=collab/commons/components/comments
I tried to use the createcomments script with this url http://server:4502/content/dam/myasset.ai/jcr:content/alt/comments.createcomments.html
The create comment page is successfully displayed the comment is not stored when I click on "create".
In fact a node /content/usergenerated/content/dam/myasset-ai is created with no children.
When I want to create an other comment a new node is created
/content/usergenerated/content/dam/myasset-ai0
That's pretty weird...
Instead of trying to comment an asset I created a dummy node of type nt:unstructured and ran the script on it
ttp://server:4502/content/dam/dummynode/jcr:content/alt/comments.createcomments.html
This time the comments are sucessfully created.
So is there a way to comments the dam:assets ?

I thinks I found the problem.
In the com.day.cq.collab.commons.impl.servlets.createComment servlet the addComment function is parsing the node url and use the function JcrUtil.createValidName. This function remove some "illegals" character as ".". So that's why the comment node created for my assets are named asset-extension instead of asset.extension and so the comments aren't successfully linked to my assets.

Register brand based metadata for DAM assets

Hi,
     I am trying to create new metadata property for DAM assets specific to our application. I follow the procedure stated in the below link.
     http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/dam/how_to_edit_metadata.html#Creating%20New%20Metad ata%20Property%20for%20Assets
     But the procedure talks about adding metadata which will become applicable for all assets. Hence, double clicking on any DAM image will show all metadata added as above.
     But as per our requirement, the metadata set must be different for different brands (different folders) inside the same dam. So, when clicking on a image in folder1, the metadata edit page should show metadata specific to that folder1 and when image in folder2 is clicked, the metadata edit page should show metadata specific to folder2.
     Any pointers to achieve this will be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

Just a guess but you might have to change /libs/cq/ui/widgets/source/widgets/wcm/DamAdmin.Actions.js and then replace
var json = CQ.HTTP.eval("/libs/dam/content/asseteditors/asseteditor.overlay.infinity.json" + suffix);
            if (!json.formItems) {
                json.formItems = CQ.HTTP.eval("/libs/dam/content/asseteditors/formitems.overlay.infinity.json" + suffix);
With your own servlet JSON response based on current path and then render mentadata you want to render.
If your requirnment is just persisting certain metadata based on current path and not edit it from UI, then change DAM Update Asset workflow and add additonal step after metadata extraction to do this.

Fixed Asset Importation Issue (Capitalisation Date)

Hello experts,
I have an issue regarding fixed asset importation.
I've import the fixed asset master data correctly in the system, with it's correct capitalisation date, APC, depreciation cumulative value and everything else correctly in the master data. Under Administration --> Data Import/Export --> Data Import --> Import Fixed Asset Master Data from Microsoft Excel.
However, where the issue is, it's now on the fixed asset history sheet, where the capitalisation date, is defined as the first date of the fiscal year "01/01/2014". Where by none of these assets were purchased on that date. But everything else on the report is correct except the capitalisation date.
Due to this issue, it is hard to explain how an asset was purchased on 01/01/2014, which have a use full life of 4 years, has depreciate completely in 2015. But if I check in its master data, I find out the capitalisation date is like in 6 years ego.
Note: I'm using SAP Business One 9.0 PL11
Any suggestion, comment or help is highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Cedric Kayitare

Hi Cedric,
Capitalization date won't change it self after import. Check your import sheet which capitalization date you have enter. you need to execute fiscal year change and then import sheet.
If you have capitalization date for different years then you should have all period created and then year transfer.
In that case you will have to run depreciation from SAP for all corresponding year.
Post your sheet with heading for more understanding.
Regards,
Chintan

Asset Revaluation issue - Reval of Current year depreciation

Hi All,
We are setting up the system to do asset revaluation for our company code in South America. My client wants to
revalue the assets from Jul'09 to Dec'09.
1) We have maintained inflation indexes for the last day of each period in the year 2009.
2) Maintained Posting Variants and Time Base and Exposure variant accordingly for all the periods and year as 9999.
3) Assigned the appropriate Time base and exposure variant in the period control method.
4) Maintained the Revaluation Areas:
a) Area 01 - Book
b) Area 02 - Inflation Adj (Revaluation Area)
c) Area 03 - Derived (Area 01+Area02)
d) Area 22 - Infla Adj in Group Currency
5) Maintained the Revaluation key and assigned it to the relevant Asset classes by Depreciation Area (02 and 22)
6) Maintained the transaction types as below:
897 - Revaluation (downward) current year
892 - Revaluation (upward) current year
891 - Revaluation (downward) prior year
893 - Revaluation (upward) prior year
7) Maintained the Inflation Method and last revaluation date on Inflation method as 01.07.2009.
8) We have also activated the Revaluation after useful life.
With this setup in the system I took a test asset which had depreciation postings for the period 08 and 09. When I
ran the J1AI - Revaluation (Inflation) Program in the test run mode the outcome was that the APC value of the asset
was being revalued and Revaluation of Prior year Depreciation but not the Revaluation of current year
Depreciation. Can anyone tell me why current year Depreciation is not being revalued.
Am I doing something wrong process-wise or configuration-wise?
Please help me in resolving this issue.
Regards,
Raj

Hi Rajesh Phanibatla,
I've always happened that Issue. But what I realized is that although the program output (J1AI) does not show you nothing on "Rev of CY Depn", the system calculates. This only happens for the first month of adjustment (In your case, Aug 08).
Try checking the test asset with the Assets Explorer (AW01N) just after running the adjust (J1AI) in background process (NO test mode) at 31.08.2009. See if the area Area 02 - Inflation Adj (Revaluation Area) on "Posted values" tab shows something different to zero on month 08 with "Planned" status.
Then, for the adjustment of the following months, the output of the program will show you the "Rev of CY Depn" value.
If you want, let me know your email to show you a presentation (PowerPoint in spanish) that has screens that I captured on that occasion that happened to me.
I hope this is your case and can help you that I said.
Good Look!
PD: Sorry for my bad english :S
