DMS:Original file path overriding configuration ?

Hi,
Running 4.6c. We use vault method for originals. We have configured data carrier type "Server,frontend" -> PC and are maintaining a path as c:\ for the temporary files. We also have configured 'frontend computers' by putting in the entry as 'Default' data carrier.
Example: Using CV01N, one person Bob, creates a DIR - 100, checks in the original into the vault and saves the DIR. When another person Frank, using CV02N opens DIR - 100, tries to change the original, there is a pop-up with two fields: 1. Data Carrier (blank with a drop down option) and 2. Original: displays the full path of the first person's PC as C:\Document and Settings\Bob\SapWorkDir\<temp. file name>.
Issue-we get a 'ftp:subcommand local error' for Frank when trying to access the original. We also observed that sometime, it would actually create the path C:\Document and Settings\Bob\SapWorkDir\<temp. file name> for Frank on Frank's PC!!
Is the original overriding the configuration? Should it not create the temporary file in C:\ as we have configured in DC20?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Athol,
Appreciate your helpful input for my query. I tried setting up the profile and have a couple of questions:
1. Define profiles -> Determine definitions for applications. Is the 'Work Directory' the field to configure the path e.g C:\?
2. Since we have the vault configured, I assume that I use the vault value in the Define profiles -> Determine definitions for applications -> Storage Category
3. Define profile -> Determine definitions for applications -> Default values, does anything need to be checked. There are three attributes Display, Print and Display in WWW.
Would appreciate if you can clarify the above.
Thanks!

DMS Original File Display issue

Hello All,
This is regarding Original File dispaly issue in DMS. User is using CV04N transaction to download the file. After going in the DMS screen user is selecting the file, Right Click & select the option "Copy to". Then user select the option to save the file on Desktop. If required user change the description of the file & save it on Desktop.
But when he tries to open that file from the desktop, file is not diaplayed & does not give any error. In some cases file is taking more than 10 mins to open the file.
This issue is faced by only two users whereas on my laptop file is displayed properly without any issue.
What could be the reason behind this? Waiting for your valuable reply.
Thanks

Hi,

DMS - Original file drawing

When creating DIR in DMS i am attaching a Autocad drawing file. Some of the users who are viewer of this DIR have Autocad installed on their desktop while others do not have Autocad installed on their desktop. For users/viewers who have autocad installed they should be able to open the original/attached file in the native application i.e. autocad whereas for others the original/attached file should be opened through SAP viewer.
In define workstation application, if i put %AUTO% for display i.e. Application type. Will it work? If not what should be done.

Dear
For viewing autocad file in SAP ECL viewer you have to check setting in SPRO
Steps:
SPRO--->General Data >Define Workstation Application>Select ACD(Autocad file type)-->Clcik   Define workstation application in network --> Add new Entry -->
Type    ||        Appl       ||       AT         ||        Description     ||            Application(path and program name)
PC         ||     ACD       ||     1       ||     Autocad      ||      EAIWeb.webviewer2D.1 %SAP-CONTROL%
PC         ||     ACD       ||     2       ||     Autocad      ||      %auto%
PC         ||     ACD       ||     3       ||     Autocad      ||      %auto%
This will solve your problem

Manually Edit An Alias Original File Path?

How do I edit the original path that an alias uses?
I have created an alias to a network volume, but the patch that the alias is using is by share name (/Volumes/Share Name) whereas I want it to use the ip (/192.168.2.5/folder).
However, I can't figure out how to manually edit the alias path. Once upon a time the "Select new original" dialoge box had a "Go to:" line where you could manually enter a path but in 10.4 it is gone).
Any help would be much appreciated.

Well, you could do a couple of things. You could place the .afplocs files somewhere in the hard drive (e.g.: /Documents/afploc_folder) and then place aliases to those .afplocs in the doc (just drag them to the Dock from the Finder). You can even assign them custom names and icons through Get Info.
Another option would be save the .afploc file, and then select the original alias you wanted to modify, and assign it the .afploc as new original through Get Info.
Both these methods provide you with a clickable dock icon, that will connect to the volume.
I vaguely remember about a BSD command called mkalias that creatd aliases from the command line rather than from the Finder, but have no details on that. Maybe you should do a little research about it.
Good Luck.

How to set default file path for save

Hello all,
I'm currently blocked on the below issue and is hoping to gain your help and insights.
We have recently upgraded to InDesign CS6. Now when an INDD file created in an older version of INDD is opened in CS6, all the save dialogs would not default to the location of the original INDD file. Though if the same file is opened in the version of InDesign that created it, the save dialog goes to the proper location by default.
Debugged using our custom plugin as a gate way, and found out that after InDesign CS6 performed the document upgrade/convert, the database for the converted document loses file information. i.e. IDataBase::GetSysFile() returns nil. I think we can figure out some way to get the original file path. For example, we can intercept "kAfterOpenDocSignalResponderService", and get the original file path of the opened file from IDocumentSignalData. Though I haven't yet able to figure out a safe way to set this file path to the document, so that the save dialogs would by default point at this path.
Utils<Facade::IWorkgroupFacade>()->InitDocumentAssetManagement(docRef, filePath) seems to do the right thing, but it seems to be quite intruding, and I'm afraid that it is overkilling and will cause bad side effect for the use case I'm looking for.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions to achieve this without implementing/overriding the file save dialog.
Thanks.
-Jeff

You should be able to avoid writing your own open-doc trap by using kDocBoss's IOpenedFileInfo to obtain the original file's path. It seems fairly reliable; the only time I've seen it come up empty is for an opened QuarkXPress document.
I'm afraid I don't know of a sanctioned way to change IDataBase::GetSysFile() without going through the database's SaveAs machinery. Overriding this behavior might only be possible by replacing the regular Save dialog with your own.
But if InitDocumentAssetManagement() is helping, maybe the workgroup/asset management approach is worth pursuing. Have you tried spying on that call in the debug app? You might be able to isolate and use one of the commands that it's invoking (IAMSPManager::BindAsset() / kSetAssetAttributesCmdBoss?) without all of the side-effects of the higher-level call.

"File Path and Name" field not displaying correctly

Post Author: DaveWoo
CA Forum: General
Hello,Here's my situation: I'm currently upgrading from Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2003 to Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005. I have several reports (programmatically generated using VB.NET) that use the "File Path and Name" special field. Now, in the old version of Crystal Reports (2003), the field properly displayed the original file path and name; however, in the new version (2005), the field displays as "C:\DOCUME1\Username\LOCALS1\Temp\Filename{F2459406-3719-4C8B-917C-4A7055A18C76}.tmp" - in other words, the location of the temporary .rpt file.How do I get the "File Path and Name" field to correctly display the path & name of the original file, like it did in the prior version?- Dave

This is a known issue tracked under ADAPT0000962216. At this time I do not know when this will be resolved, however Service Pack 2 for CR 2008 is targeted to be released by September and this may contain the fix.

Massive mp3 file(path) move question

Alright so I recently purchased a 2 terabyte network server for my home network. The purpose of this is to move all my music, movies, photos, etc. to the network drive in order to clear out all that space on my laptop's drive. At this point and time, I've only copied all my music to network drive. Figure the next step would be is to delete all my music off my local drive. But then got a little worried about iTunes. Now when I delete my music off my local drive, iTunes will be looking for the mp3s via the originated file path. Obviously the file is not going to be there. So when this happens in iTunes, the circularly enclosed exclamation point pops up and iTunes wants you to manually and find the file for it to play. So essentially my question is... Since I'm doing this on a large scale, Is there an easier way to get this done?
Best solution I was able to come up with was to delete all the songs in iTunes and re-drag all the music back in there. BUT... the problem I have with that a good majority of the music's album artwork were manually put in by me (kind of uh...yeah about seeing the album artwork on the screen when I'm listening to my iPod). So I don't want lose all that it. Help! Kind of long, I know. Appreciate any help or suggestions.

File path select pop ups. Multiple searches found

I just had a new HD installed, and I now have mountain lion. When I open Logic pro on an existing song, I now get a "File Path Select" box, which says that there are "multiple matches found in file." Is this because my audio interface, Inspire 1394 is no longer compatible with mountain lion? What can I do to remove this?

Do you have many files with the same name in different songs, like "Bass" or "Guitar" etc? Perhaps with the new drive, the original file paths connecting your files to your songs no longer exists, so logic is searching and finding multiple files matching the file name that the song is looking for. Do you see the filepath belonging to the song in the select box? If so, select it.

Aperture using 3 week old file paths for referenced files after Rebuild

I recently had major problems with some Nikon D60 files (the referenced files switched original files). I had to re-import everything a start again. Having sorted everything out, I then relocated the files with new files names (thinking that the original file names may have caused the problems).
This was 3 weeks ago. However, when I Rebuilt the library today, these renamed images went offline because Aperture has kept the original file paths (with the original names).
Does anyone know how to update file paths to the current ones? (rather than some random previous one).

Thanks for the reply. I will check out the links.
I should have mentioned that all renaming/moving of files was done from within Aperture. Aperture is not updating its own file paths.
The process is this. Having moved/renamed the images (using Aperture's Relocate Masters) I am able to use the software, close it down, restart etc and the images will be found correctly with few/no 'lost' images. It is when I use 'Rebuild' that the file paths revert to an old, previously used version that is no longer valid. It is as though there are two preference files, each with a different file path information. There was a post sometime ago that mentioned using Terminal commands to force Aperture to update to the correct files paths/directories. I haven't been able to find the post yet though.
These particular files (Nikon D60) are not from my own camera so I am not sure why I have had such an issue. Normally I am using a Canon 5D MK2 or a Phaseone digital back. However, even with my own equipment I do regularly have to 'Reconnect' one or two image files that have become lost which is annoying. So I am keen to get to the bottom of this issue.

How to maintain keywords for a original files in DMS?

Hi,
How to maintain a Keywords for all original files which are already available in content server? I have done the following steps for full-text search(content search) with in originals.
1.Configured RFC from TREX to R/3
2.Created SSR with VERITY search engine
3.Configured MIME types in DMS
4.Indexing has been done
5.We ran RSTIRIDX program as a background job.
After doing above all for activating full text search in CV04N, The text box search text is enabled, how ever when we try to search for a text in original we are getting the message:"No documents found with these selected parameters".
Awaiting for your valuable response.
Thanks
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
could you please test the search behavior also in transaction SKPR07 because this transaction offers different tools for testing and analysing the TREX search. The class for DMS is DMS_PCD1.
Best regards,
Christoph

I cannot play music from my library on either my external drive or my laptop - keep getting same message "___ song (all of them) could not be used because the original file could not be found. I have tried changing the path in prefernces many times.

I cannot play music from my libray on either my external drive or my laptop. I keep getting the same message - "___ song (all of them) could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have changed the path several times under preferences and it still won't recognize any songs from either my laptop hard drive or my external drive. I can't play any music at all.

I think I've fixed this on my machine. If you look in the ITunes folder there is a subfolder called Previous iTunes Libraries. In my case for some reason this contained the one which had always worked and a new one was in the main folder. I closed iTunes, deleted the new one, and moved the old one back to the main folder, then opened iTunes. It then rebuilt the library and it plays correctly. Hope it works for you.

File path defaulted to 'C:\fakepath' when attaching an original on PLM WUI

Hi,
When trying to attach an original via PLM WUI, we notice that the file path is defaulted as 'C:\fakepath' instead of the document path of the original.
We see this behaviour happening only with PLM WUI, and the functionality works perfectly fine with SAP GUI.
Any expert opinions appreciated.
Regards,
Vivek Pandey

HI Vivek,
If you go to Internet Explorer; Tools; Internet Option; Security; Custom; find the "Include local directory path when uploading files to a server" (it is quite a ways down) and click on "Enable" You may have to restart your computer, but this works & eliminates that "fakepath" that inhibits the upload file path.

File reading (with configurable path) in ADF?

Hi,
I am developing an ADF application in Jdeveloper in which a drop-down list is populated by reading from a txt file.
Currently I am using a static path inside the code (in java bean) to read the contents. However i want to make this path configurable.
How can i make this file path configurable in deployment plan?
Regards,
Komal Babar

Dear Frank,
if you can give more detailed explanation, that will be nice, because i got more or less same requirement.
if we create "Resource" Directory in web content or some where, how can we access through
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestContextPath();

SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 Configuration file path: is empty

I have begun installing SQL 2012 Service Pack 2 on a test system and I go to the page where it is Ready to update. The configuration file path: at the bottom of the screen was empty. Is this normal or will I need to go to the default locations
of Bootstrap to find the configuration file this upgrade is going to use? This is something that is odd as a majority of our current installations is automated using a configuration file and a path for the Upgrade files.
Rick

Hi Rick,
Based on your description, I make a test on my computer. When I go to the ‘Ready to update’ page, I also find that the ‘configuration file path’ box is empty, below is my screenshot. This is a normal phenomenon during the installation of SQL Server Service
Pack.
We don’t need to find the configuration file from SQL Server setup location, just click the Update button to perform the Service Pack installation. After the update process, I install SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 successfully.
Besides, there is also a similar article about installing SQL Server Service Pack for your reference.
