Do I need "check in/check out" turned on with Contribute?

I'm the only user of the site, but I have a guy who accesses
a few pages with Contribute. Can I turn off the Check In/out
feature? Or will I lose the ability of Contribute to see when he's
editing a page? I'm assuming it has to stay on, but it is quicker
and easier for me to not have it on. thanks.

What's common practice for this?
This situation really needs a proper Content Management System (CMS): Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, Expression Engine all come to mind.
She's a content contributor, you're the system admin. She needs a bulletproof browser-based editing environment to do her thing without worrying about anything else.
Down the track, she'll probably want repeat content that she can control on different pages, content expiry, scheduled content, categories, tags, sidebars, headlines: all standard CMS features.
Using Dreamweaver and Check In/Check Out is just going to create one issue after another.
The current solution was probably adequate in the past but it's reaching the limits of its scalability. It's really time for a new solution.
Have you considered a CMS?

Check out TopLink integration with JDeveloper 10g

I just thought you might want to get a look at the upcoming integration of TopLink and Oracle JDeveloper 10g.
You can download the JDeveloper 10g preview now and play with it.
See demo: http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/viewlets/905p_adf_toplink/toplinkEditor_viewlet_swf.html
and follow the tutorial:

John,
"1) When I did this last step, it created a new set of 'Offline Database Objects'. It would be nice not to have to redirect the new classes at my original objects or create a new diagram from the new objects. (I would like to bae able to get rid of one set of Database Objects.)"Currently, you are running into the issue since you already have offline tables that you are using to create online tables. You then are creating Java objects from online tables. Each time you create Java Objects from online tables, offline tables are created and cached with the project; the generator is not smart to recognize whether these tables exist offline.
That's a great suggestion and we already have this under consideration for future release. What you are asking is the ability to generate Java Objects from offline tables.
�2) The Database Objects that were created when I generated the classes all have the schema name prepended. My original Database Objects have the 'package' prepended. I would like my Java classes to map to unqualified tablenames.�Another great suggestion; we have already taken this into consideration for this release.
�Also, can I model sequences for my tables and have those automatically generated along with the tables and constraints? �You can always create a SEQUENCE table offline or online (on the database; see connections tab) in Jdeveloper and then use it in the TopLink mapping editor with your data model. Let me know if you need more info on it.
�Is there a place I can modify the default datatype to java type mappings? For example, what if I would prefer my classes to be generated with BigDecimal attributes instead of Double? �Yet another great suggestion, we will keep it in mind for future release.

Turning off Check In/Check Out Feature

Hello All,
I am taking over a website that had the feature of Check
In/Check Out turned on. I turned off this feature since there is
only one website developer. My understanding of this feature is
that it is useful when you have more than one website developer. I
would now like to get rid of the multiple thousands of LCK files
that are the result. Can I just go in and delete them or should I
do it another way? Please help. Thank you.
Cynthia

Use FINDER/EXPLORER to delete them, but you should DOWN synch
all locked
files first.
I'd leave checkin/checkout turned ON, Check out the entire
site. Then turn
CI/CO off, and manually delete the lock files.

How to turn off Check Out prompt in RH7 for VSS version control.

Using RH7 HTML, and VSS version control. Have been using without problem for 2 years. Now I had to get a new computer
set up, VSS seems to be correctly set up with RoboHelp, and asks to 'get latest' when I open a project, in the usual way.
However, each time I try to edit a topic in RH now, I am prompted to check out the topic.This should happen automatically. the RH tip that displays says:
"To turn off prompts when performing version control tasks manually, clear the option on the version control tab. Files are then checked out automatically.
Note: Files not selected in the list cannot be checked out."
this is unclear - there IS no version control tab, and which option are they saying to clear? there is a version control toolbar, and File>Version Control menu, neither of which has a 'prompt checkout' option.
I need not to check out manually every time!

Use the Tools > Options menu. There should be a "Version Control" tab in that dialog box.

I get a message that itunes has stopped working. When I check out why it is because of the dep security on my computer. When I try to find the program for itunes for the .exe file i cannot find it to turn off the dep for that file

In workflow need to check in passed validaitons and check out failed once?

Hi All,
Can any one let me know is the following requirement possible?
In workflow can I able to split records based on validation result? I need to check in passed validations and check out failed validations..
Regards
Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
You can try out both branch step and validation step and see which serves your purpose better.
In branch step you can give multiple validation/validation groups,if result is TRUE take the first branch and check in at STOP.
If FALSE,take dont checkin at STOP,either cascade or Rollback as the case be.Also here you can call the same or other Workflow.The split branches can later be combined using MERGE or Group.
Other way can be by using Validation step,setup iteration threshold.here failed jobs will be sent to previous step and passed ones will move ahead in WF.Later you can checkin at STOP and failed jobs would still be in WF in checkout state.

DMS - need to check out originals using BSP

Hi,
I am trying to check out DMS originals through a BSP application. For this purpose, I use the function module 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTVIEW2'. When this FM is used in a SAP GUI report program, the originals are checked out into the TEMP directory. But when the same FM is used in a BSP application, the FM fails with the exception 'Document Program not started via RFC. No return possible'.
Alternatively, I tried using the method 'checkoutview' (in the class 'cl_incl_doc_files'). The method executes without any error, but it does not check out the originals. The original is not available in the 'TEMP' directory. Will this method check out originals to the 'TEMP' directory?? If so, is there any specific thing that needs to be set? Have anyone tried using this?
My requirement is that the originals need to be downloaded to the local machine.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Vidhya.

Dear Pranav,
I checked these settings. They are already maintained in SM59. Still it is not working out. I tested the connection also and it is fine. What else could be the reason??
I am also trying an alternate method. I am first downloading the contents of the file (in binary format) into an internal table using the function module 'SDOK_PHIO_LOAD_CONTENT'. Then, by calling the function module 'GUI_DOWNLOAD', I try to download it as a PDF file. Again, when I try this in a report program, it is successful .When the function 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' (or the method 'cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download') is called from a BSP application, it throws the exception 'CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR'. Is it because through BSP application we cannot download to the local machine?? Is there any other way to achieve this?? I tried all possible ways. In no method, I get full solution.
This is urgent. Highly appreciate your help.
Regards,
Vidhya.

My local library uses a program called Overdrive Media Console to check out audiobooks. MP3 type books go to music on my iPod Nano, but I am unable to delete them because I tunes doesn't display them as content. What should I do? I need the space.

According to my library, I can download MP3 audio books to my Ipod Nano. The material is "checked out" to a program called Over Drive Media Console. and from there, it is transferred to my IPod. the audio doesnt go to Audi Books, it goes to Music. I want to delete some of the books I have listened to, but when I plug in the Ipod and open ITunes, the titles are not there. The manual says to connect to itunes, and delete a "song or other material" but since I did not use ITunes to get the
"song" to begin with, it isnt recognized. How can I get these audioboks off my IPOD? I am running out of space. I tried connecting to Overdrive, but the software doesnt recognize the internal content. It only sets it up for transfer.

The audio books do not display under the music sub-menu
And they shouldn't. They should be under the Books submenu that is further down the list from the Music submenu you are referring to.

How can I turn off blocking "check out" on a secure server?

Certain websites "Check Out" portions are blocked. Warning says " OCSP response is not yet valid (contains a date in the future)
Error code: sec_error_ocsp_future_response. Authorization of received data could not be verified."
What does this mean and how do I bypass it. One site in particular I have used many times in past.

hello donaldshaw, please check that date, time and timezone are set correctly on your device!

I have a file checked out in a place I can't get to. I need it checked in. How!

Thanks for your help.

Hi JJQuinn,
Thanks for your post.
What’s the version of your TFS and VS?
The appdev is your development server and build machine? You can log on that machine to check that user and check the file be checkout under which workspace.
If you’re using VS 2013, open Source Control Explorer, right-click on that file and select Find>>Find by Status…, then you can view this file be checked out under which workspace.
You can execute the tf undo command to undo that checked out file like below:
tf undo $/teamprojectname/…/filename.xx
/workspace:workspacename /collection:TeamProjectCollectionUrl

I have a normal apple account can i enter my vat reg number at the check out or do i need a business account?

like do i have to make a business account to get a invoice for my tax return thing or do i just add it during the check out in a my normal account

I'm not sure if it will work with a normal account, but it looks like you can just enter it when you have a business account.
From http://store.apple.com/uk/help/payments
Where do I enter my VAT registration number?
If you are buying for a business and have a registered account on the Apple Store for Business, you may enter your VAT registration number when you choose your payment method and when you verify your order during the check-out process. The VAT registration number will be printed on your invoice. If you do not have an account, click here to register or call 0800 048 0408.
You might want to try calling that number to see what your options are with a normal account.

Can I get my Macbook Pro just checked out and tuned up at the genius bar?

I'm having a hard time getting my questions answered. Basically I've had my Macbook Pro for four and a half years, but it's still doing mostly fine. It's just showing it's age slightly I think, with more spinning wheels than usual and odd things like the date is usually set to 1999 when I turn the computer on, but it rights itself in a few minutes. Also most the time when I plug it in it says it's not charging and I have to try multiple times. None of this is a huge deal, it's just that I really need the computer to last me preferably at least another year, so I worry about it a bit. I do take good care of it though. I'm about to move out of the country for a year, so I'd like to get it just checked out and perhaps tuned up a bit so that any problems are taken care of and it's in the best shape before I move away. I'd like to make a genius bar appointment, but the closest Apple store is a two hour drive from my home, so I don't want to go into it not having any idea how much it will cost or if they'll even be able to do what I'm hoping in the span of a single workday. I really don't want to have to drive back later to pick it up or have it sent off somewhere to be repaired, although if it does have serious problems I'd be willing to do that. I'd just like to know going in to it what the price range is likely to be like. I don't want to make the drive to the Apple store and have them tell me it's going to be a few hundred dollars just to have my computer looked over. And I don't even know if they offer that service, let alone if they can do it in a single afternoon. I've tried calling the store and conversations with the automated person really are not helpful. He just tells me to go online and make a reservation, and I can't figure out how to get my questions about cost and service answered.
Also, am I being foolish hoping my four and a half year old Macbook will last at least another year or two? I have no idea what the "life expectancy" is for these things. I know nothing really about computers at all, so forgive my ignorance.
Any help and insight is very much appreciated.

The genius bar technicians can check your MBP for possible hardware problems and specific software issues that you may have. The diagnosis will be free. Any extensive repairs will not be free.
If you have minor software problems, you essentially will have to deal with them yourself. Examine these two comprehensive documents for possible problem definition and solutions. If you encounter problems that you are unable to cope with, start a new discussion and there will be persons willing to assist you in solving them.

"This document could not be checked out." SharePoint 2010 checkout action using IE8

I am setting up a two-server farm, and most everything works, except the checkout action for a document. This problem occurs in both site collections, one of which requires checkout, and the other does not.
Here are the options I've tried:
Snow Leopard, Firefox 3.0.1 - works
Snow Leopard, Safari - works
Win 2003, IE 7 - works
XP, Firefox - works
XP, IE 8 - "This document could not be checked out. You may not have permission to check out the document or it is already checked out or locked for editing by another user."
In IE8, I am able to open a document as read only then use the button presented by Word to check out the document. I cannot use that as a workaround, as not all users have a version of Office that will allow checkout in that way.
Checkin works fine. I need to resolve the checkout error.

I was having the same problem mentioned here. I noted that this problem only appears when I use the FQDN in the URL ex 'http://hostname.domain.com/default.aspx'. If I access the Sharepoint site using the URL 'http://hostname/default.aspx', then
I do not have any problems checking files in or out.
I ran into this same error pattern when trying to do a document edit (library is set to force a check out), or do a direct check out via the ribbon menu or item context menu. Oddly enough when we would use the 'Edit Properties' ribbon button (which forces
a check out) we did not get an error and the document's status would change to 'checked out'. Below are the two messages we would receive when trying to do a check out:
IE error message - "This document could not be checked out. You may not have permission to check out this document or it is already checked out or locked by another user." - Click OK
IE Error message - "The document could not be opened for editing. A Microsoft SharePoint Foundation compatible application could not be found to edit the document." - Click OK
After trying several different suggestions I realized that I wasn't having the problem when I was accessing the site locally via FQDN but only when I was using the Public Site URL (via https). Turns out we were getting the error because we did not have
an AAM currectly setup. Once I changed our AAM for the Internet zone with the Public URL value instead of the FQDN the error went away.
Hope this helps anyone else trying to track this down. Oh and this was SP2010 w/SP1 (Patch version 14.0.6106.5001) on Win2008 R2 with clients running both Win7 and WinXP using IE8.

Do I need "check in/check out" turned on with Contribute?
