Disabling external content loading in Webengine

I'm trying to utilize Webengine to load a local file, but do not want to load any other objects references in it (such as images). Looking through several websites, and this forum, I could not find any way for that purpose.
Regardless of utilizing Load, or LoadContent, my program always tries to load the images.
I appreciate any leads on how to disable loading the external content.
Thanks in advance.

I appreciate any leads on how to disable loading the external content.Two options:
1. Disconnect the internet.
2. Implement your own url protocol handler: http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/protocolhandlers/
Hint => option 1 is easier . . .

Load external content

Hello everyone
I want to know that with flex mobile development can we load external content like unity3d, .apk or .ipa, video files or html file from sd card or internal memory of device.If possible then some one can please tell me how to do this or possible. Can i use same project for android, ios and blackberry platform.
Thanking you

Chris,
Thank you for the information, that is very helpful and certainly gets me in the right direction. I have one other question and cannot seem to find the answer on this forum or by search the Internet. One of the features that Air 2 is suppose to have is the ability to print w/o showing the dialog. Any idea where an example of that is?
Please forgive me if I overlooked it but I have spent some time looking for this and could not find something or could not see how it was done via the docs.
Thanks again!

Flash Player / Content Loading Issues

A big hello to anyone kind enough to read this!... Hopefully someone can can help me out or point me in the right direction.
The company that I am currently contracting for is involved in the testing of a number of pieces of Flash courseware that one of our associated companies have created. It has been authored in Flash CS3, but uses Actionscript 2.0. The user's target platform is Flash player 9 on Windows XP.
While testing the latest version through Flash player 9 (ActiveX within IE 7) we have discovered that the external movieclip loading does not work correctly, with the movie clips appearing in random location on some PC's, but no on others....
..To add even more strange-ness to this, if we right-click and select the "About Flash Player" menu option, wait for the Adobe web page to load, close the courseware window and re-launch it while the Adobe web page is still open in another browser, then the courseware runs fine.
Just wondering if anyone out there has run into similar problems? We are currently experimenting with various IE settings and other security issues such as MMS.cfg and Trust Files, but at the minute we have to admit we are stuck.
Attached are some images illustrating what is going: "correct_load.png" is when it works as it should do and "incorrect_load" is what it looks like when the troubles start.
Thanks!

Thanks for the advice.. At this point it's like banging our heads against a brick wall..
Strangely enough on some machines the problem does not seem to happen at all. We have tried four PCs so far and two have worked, two have failed. On the machines that failed to run it correctly we have recently uninstalled Flash Player 9 ActiveX and installed the latest Flash Player 10 ActiveX.
The same problem is present on the machines, despite the fact we have added the C:\path\to\content path to settings in the Settings Manager.
We have also added both Global and User Trust Files with the same path and an all-encompassing "C:\", which we know that the customer's machines will have limited installation rights and no access to the internet. On the machines that do run the courseware, they do not either have the local paths as entries on the Settings Managers or in any kind of Trust File. The only difference is that the machines that run the courses are machines that have a full version of Flash (either 8 and/or CS3) installed on them, but I can not see any reason while this would have an effect?
Like you mention, it would be a good place to start looking at the loading line by line - however, the Manchester branch of the group have pretty much refused to give us access the *.fla files (it's a (barely) working relationship between us, not really one built on trust). I'll pass on your ideas and leave it up to them I think! It would be sensible if we did have FireFox v. IE testing, but most unhelpfully, FireFox is on the list of "controlled applications" and so we can't use it here.
Anyway, thanks for the reply and help. I was curious to see what effect having the Adobe page open had on the player, since with previous Flash content we as a company and myself personally have produced have not encountered anything like this.

Managing External Content Types - make it read only?

I have a simple SharePoint list with an External Data column. When I edit item where the corresponding data was removed from the External Content Type I get this error:
No exact match was found. Click the item(s) that did not resolve for more options. You can also use Select button to
choose External Data.
I assume this is by design and I cannot delete underlying data and keep the value in the list - is this correct?
So my question now - is it possible to keep that info in the external list but disable in a picker so new records cannot be created with that particular value? How do I do it?
Thanks,

I don't understand the question exactly, could you restate it. Sorry mate, I might just be braindead.
But, as far as the issue, it is by design. the column is a lookup columns which essentially ties to the external data. if that data is removed, the column on your simple list becomes invalid and any edits of the simple list item will require
it to be changed.
are you wanting to make the ECT read only? that's simple enough. you can pop open SPD and edit the ECT, then remove the C/E/D operations (create/update/delete). That will not, however make it read-only in any other systems that access that
external data, as I assume its not just SP or else it wouldn't be external

Setting up an external content type without having to change it to NTLM authentication?

Referring to: https://www.kenplaysviola.com/content/sharepoint2010-business-connectivity-path-unavailable
and tested to be true. However, I have a site that I am not using NTLM - is there a way around this???

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you can’t
set up an external content type with Basic authentication web application.
What errors have you got?
I have done a test in my SharePoint, when I opened Basic authentication site with SharePoint Designer, I got an error
”Access to this web server is disabled by default because it is controlled by basic authentication and doesn't use SSL…”.
But I could create an External List in the Basic authentication site successfully. I set up an external content type with NTLM authentication site. Then I created an External List in the Basic authentication
site which referred to the existing external content type, it worked fine.
So if you don’t want to change your web Application to NTLM authentication, try to create another web Application with NTLM authentication, then create a site collection and create an external content type,
last create an External List in the Basic authentication site referring to the existed external content type in NTLM authentication site.
Also, here is a blog about
Access denied by Business Data Connectivity, you can take a look at:

Using the External Content Type as a column lookup

Hi.
I am working on a solution that will get data from a web service (third party) and create a list in SharePoint Online (Office365 E3 subscription). The use a column from that list as a lookup column for another list. The reason for this is to allow updates
on the third party data source to update the list in Office 365.
Using SPD 2013, I created that external content type then created the list. However, due to the limitations on BCS (which I just learned after googling it) that the only thing I can use from this column is the ID column.
Has anyone found a work around on the matter? I was thinking of just creating a list app then load the bcs data to it. My problem will be how to update the list every so often.
Thanks!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to use the External Content Type as a column lookup.
Per my knowleage, you can select all the columns in the external list.
You can create a lookup column in the list as below:
If you select Name, then you can get the Name column as below:
There is an article for your reference, although it is about the SharePoint 2010, it still works for SharePoint Online 2013.

Shockwave content loading

I've built a shockwave presentation that is made up of a
number of
movies, external cast cst files and even an externally linked
JPG image
as my background image.
I'd like some advice on how I should set up my shared
components so that
they load up in the right order and the most efficiently.
The problem I've experienced after making everthing shockwave
was that
my background image loaded late so had buttons appearing on a
black
background. I then imported my JPG into a shared external
cast file
(sing standad import). Still seemed to load in the wrong
order.
So, what can I do to ensure my content loads in the right
order?
And where shoudl i put my background image so that it is not
reloaded
every time a new you jump to a new movie?
Thanks.

First off I would build a "loading..." screen of some sort.
Second, use preloadNetThing() to load all external items you
need in the order you like. Then move forward in the project.
Hope that helps.

Disable external tracking?

Hello,
Is it possible to disable external tracking on a link-by-link or email-by-email basis? I've run into a few sites that we need to link to which do not cooperate with the appended query string parameters, some which disagree so much that they throw up an error page listing the parameters as unknown instead of displaying the content we intended our audience to see.
The only way to disable this that I have found is through unchecking the box Setup > Email Configuration > [_] External Tracking - but that's an account-wide setting, and this is only required on a case-by-case basis.
Thanks,
Richard

Hi Leigh,
We are running into the same issue with needing to only apply external tracking to links going to our websites. We have a lot of clients who we post ads for in our newsletters, and we are wanting to disable external tracking for their links.
Sometimes their sites don't accept foreign query strings which causes the URL to come up with an error page.
We also have clients who use the same standard query strings as we do, and they provide their links with these query strings already applied. When Eloqua then applies our external tracking query strings they overwrite the client's values.
Is there any query string that can be appended to a URL that will tell it to ignore external tracking for that link? Or can you think of any other workarounds? We have tried using redirect links, and are able to get around the main issue, but then when we have to report back to our clients, the links contacts are clicking on are not the URLs they provided. We can replace the redirect URL with the client's URL manually, but we send hundreds of newsletters from all of our different brands, so this manual workaround has become a bit of a nightmare.
If there is nothing out their currently, is their anything in the roadmap that might support this functionality? I read in another post from Jeff Butwell that it is a feature that is being considered (Can you manually override Google Analytics external tracking in an email?). This was over a year ago.
Thanks!

Not able to crawl all items from External content type

Hello All,
"All the records in my external content source are not getting crawled, only 1/3 rd of the data are getting crawled."
Steps:
I created "External content type" using sharepoint designer which connects to a SQL Server database.
Have written a SQL View joining 2 tables, which return 9,00,000 rows when executed using the SQL Server management studio.
I used the default "Business Data Connectivity Service" and "Search Service Application" and made sure the necessary permissions are set.
Created a External Content source for the search service application and selected the "Business Data Connectivity Service" -> "Crawl selected External datasource" -> <my external datasource i created in sharepoint designer>
Issue
When i ran the full crawl for the first time it crawled "3,49,923" records in 01 hour and 07 seconds. And returned 1 error "Error crawling LOB Contents.(Error caused by exception: System.InvalidOperationException. There is an error in XML
document...)
Later i removed the below item from the index and started a full recrawl, this time it crawled "3,49,924" records 1 record extra from my previous crawl
and no errors were returned.
Please let me know what could be the issue. It doesn't look like the permission related issues as i am able to crawl the 1/3rd of my total data. Also i am able to search the crawled data. I also set the throtteling limit for the "Business data catalog"
to -maximum 10000000 -default 1000000 which is less than the data it has to crawl.
SRIRAM

Hi ,
I started the change suggested in the link shared by you, but got stuck at a point,
The field which i set as identifier in BCS earlier is not having unique values. Total rows returned by the sql view is 899000, but the unique values present in the column that is set as identifier is
3,49,923, which is equal to the number of rows crawled. - Is this the reason why it didnt crawl all records?
The table that is used in the sql view has composite key, - Is it possible to have multiple identifier in BCS as well?
Is it possible to make BCS to ignore the identifier? i mean creating BCS without an identifier column?
Please let me know your suggestions on this.
Thanks,
SRIRAM
Yes, BCS needs a UID. This is so it can figure out changes over time to a single record. Otherwise all changes to a row could be a potential new row without BCS knowing any better.
Yes, or just have it run off the composite key instead of the field you're using now.
Nope, BCS needs a UID field like in answer 1 :)
Good luck!

How to read the content from a External Content Type with out creating External List in Sharepoint 2013?

Hi,
I have a requirement to read the External Content Type and storing the Data in a Session Variable. The Reading of the content from External Content Type with out creating a External List.
Please help I am trying to find the solution, but unable to do that.
Thanks,
Pradeep

Hi,
Firstly an external content type designed to work with SharePoint list and there is no way to read apart from this.
If you are looking the solution out of the " Business Connectivity" then find that data source has been exposed through WCF and Web Service ?
So you can use REST API and CSOM to consume those data in SharePoint.
You can also leverage the ADO.NET option if the datasources based on MS technologies.

Get "An Error occurred while retrieving data From ProjectWebApp.." when searching content on an External Content Type

I have set-up an ECT in SPD2013 on SP2013. It is a SQL Data source called ProjectWebApp. I have BCS/SSS set-up. I can create an ECT OK in SPD. I can add the ECT to a custom list.
The problem is when I add a new item in the list the following error message appears in red
An error occurred while retrieving data from ProjectWebApp. Administrators, see the server log for more information
I cannot filter or return any results. There is data in the DB.
Another test I do is to try and create a new App/List using the "External List" template. When
I select the ECT a red message appears "External Content Types are not available". which is odd since I can add an ECT to a list as mentioned above.
Any ideas?

DMS Document Storage in External Content Server

Dear All,
We are working on a DMS scenario, where we need to store the document in an external content server, and not in SAP DB. We are evaluating the solutions around the content server, and we see that SAP provides a HTTP Interface to SAP Content Server, and this interface can be configured through OAC0 and OACT, and managed through CSADMIN. Now, a set of questions:
1. If we intend to use SAP Content Server, do we need to purchase additional license for it? Our understanding is that the software is delivered with SAP Installation DVD, and as such no licensing charges are required.
2. If we DO NOT intend to use SAP Content Server, and rather use an external content server (Possibly utilizing the File System at the OS level as a repository), how will the configuration of OAC0 and OACT look like in such a case? We definitely can not use HTTP Content Server as storage type, How will the entries be organized in this case?
Has anyone worked on a scenario like this? It will be really nice if you can share your experience and expertise in this regard.
Awaiting replies.
Thanks and Sincere Regards,
Sid

Hi Ravindra,
Thanks for the clarification. Do I understand correctly that, for a external content server (without an installation of SAP Content Server) also, we need to specify the storage type as HTTP Content Server ? But in such a case, how will the work processes be handled? As I understand, SAP Content Server engine will handle the incoming/outgoing requests through a Web Server. So, don't we need a similar arrangement for an external content server also? In that case, will the connection parameters be for a HTTP Content Server or for RFC Archive, where we can specify a RFC Destination of type G and connect through it?
Thanks and Regards,
Sid
