Document Connection

I am having trouble getting a connection to our SharePoint
2010 Server using Microsoft "Document Connection" Application.  I did managed to get a connection to SharePoint at one point however as soon as I tried to upload a document I received an error 39, although
it uploads the document. Thereafter each mouse click results in this error 39 popping up.
I disconnected and removed the saved SharePoint connection in doing so I cannot reconnect to SP it says “connection failed”, I am sure it is an authentication issue perhaps something to do with our firewall or/and
proxy server as I know Macs work a little differently to PC’s on this front but that does not explain why it worked and now doesn't.<u5:p> I</u5:p> have no idea what is blocking
the connection.
Any help is appreciated
I am using Office 11 14,3.9
Mac OS = Snow Leopard 
Thanks in advanced

  • Problems with Document Connect

    I have a problem with Document Connect. I am unable access office live workspace.
    I have been on the help line with microsoft but they were unable to help.
    Then I went to an apple store and was informed by one of the sales assistance that Document Connect never worked with the apple. Well what was the point in having it then?

    I wish I knew what Document Connect is. I'd bet I could fix it. Not really, but what is it?

  • Document Connection Client - Error 234882975

    Hi, I have been using the MSFT Document Connection client (version 14.3.9) on Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 to access files stored on SharePoint (on an Office 365 subscription) for several years. 
    Yesterday I had an internet outage while trying to access files via DC on SharePoint. Since then, when trying to connect to
    a particular directory, I get Error 234882975. The error occurs ONLY when trying to access the directory that I
    was uploading files to when the internet outage occurred. All other directories work just fine from the DC client. Restarting, rebooting have not effect. I fear I will never again be able to access that directory. And the directory itself on SharePoint is
    just fine; I've had to resort to using a Windows machine to get to it. Can access it from Windows with no issues.
    Does anyone know a solution to this? Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you could not access a particular library using the Mac OS.
    To narrow down the issue, you can use your account in other Mac OS to check whether it works.
    You can also use the other browsers to check whether the issue is related to the browsers.
    If it works, you can clear the your browser cache, then check whether it works.
    What’s more, you can back up the library then restore the library or save your library as a template, then create a new library using the template to check whether you can access it.
    As this is the forum for the SharePoint server, I recommend you can post your question to the forum for SharePoint Online:
    http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/154.aspx.
    More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to SharePoint Online.
    Thank you for your understanding and support.

  • Connecting visio diagrams (plus other MS documents)

    I have been tasked with modelling our business from both a business and technical 'what we have now' viewpoint
    I'm using Visio 2007 for this and have started with a very high level diagram
    I've now started breaking this down into smaller chunks
    The issue here is, without going out and investing in an expensive piece software such as i-server by Orbus (done a bit of research in this
    area), I can't see how I can get the diagrams to interact in some way
    I really want to be able to link to sub diagrams and even word or Excel files where relevant, in a less 'stand alone' way
    Is my approach wrong here i.e. am I missing some important functionality with Visio
    OR should I be using a later version
    Do products such as Office 365 offer improved document connectivity in this area?
    Thanks
    Damian.

    almost all of the MS office products support hyperlinking between documents. It is not uncommon for users to link Visio charts to Word using the Word documents as backup (of course the use of OLE still works for linking and embedding).

  • Passing prompt value to a LiveOffice document

    Hi all,
    I've SAP BW Query as the data source having two prompts of one which is date, and I built a LiveOffice document connecting a WebI report. The prompt values in LiveOffice document are displayed as for ex : comp code : 2000 [0COMPCODE].[2000] and date as 10/0320 [0CALMONTH].[032010]. In case of Comp code I'm passing only 2000 removing the rest of the text and it works fine, but whereas when I modified date prompt in LO document like Comp code its throwing an error while refreshing.
    Getdocument Information Exception (Error  WIS : 10901). In details I can see that date is being passed 32010 instead of 032010 even though I tried to change the format of that particular cell.
    Any solution to this problem ?
    Thanks

    Hi Fred,
    The date format in BEX Query is mmyyyy and I'm trying to pass the same in LO but its going as myyyy, for ex : 032010 is passed as 32010.

  • Not able to open office documents from SharePoint site using Forms auth on a Mac with Office 2011

    I posted the same question on the Mac Office forum (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macstart/not-able-to-open-office-documents-from-sharepoint/7fba517b-ebd1-4e90-a54a-c70c5f035146?tm=1418836613595) but figured it's probably more
    of a SharePoint question so I'm going to try here as well.
    We just discovered an issue where a user logs into a SharePoint site using Forms based authentication.  When clicking on an Office file they get
    'Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you' message:
    The user can download the file and can also open the file within the browser (Office Web apps).  This SharePoint site is on a Web app that uses mixed authentication (forms for external partners) and Windows/Kerberos for internal employees.
     When logging into this same site as an internal user I am able to open the file just fine.
    I checked the 'Microsoft Document Connection' settings and selected and deselected 'Enable Basic Authentication' and neither helped.  
    I also tried to add the site URL under 'Microsoft Document Connection' -> Add connection -> Connect to a SharePoint site.  When I put the site URL in and click 'Connect', I get an error saying that 'Only connection to SharePoint or OneDrive
    servers are supported' message.  If I try the same thing as an internal user using Windows/Kerberos authentication I am able to connect to the site just fine.
    Any ideas??

    Hi Szamir,
    As you are using Form Based authentication to open the documents from SharePoint site, I recommend to check the things below:
    Make sure that the user has permission to view the documents in the site.
    Please select "Sign me in automatically" when you sign in the login page.

  • Connecting an External Monitor to a HP Pavilion 15t-n200

    I have a HP Pavilion 15t-n200 laptop computer and I'm trying to hook up an external monitor. 
    I tried connecting directly to a monitor with an HDMI cable and this didn't work. So I bought a HDMI to VGA adaptor, and still no luck.
    In both instances, I hooked up the monitor and pressed the F4 key to select how I select the other display. But none of the choices: Duplicate, Extend, or Second Screen Only seem to work. In fact, nothing happens when I make any of these selections. 
    Am I missing a step?

  • How do I save NEW documents from Office 2011 to SP2010?

    Hi,
    We are using Office 2011 for Mac, with Safari and SP2010 for collaboration room and document libraries.
    Accessing, opening, reading and saving existing documents from SP2010 works all fine.
    But if I, after having opened and edited a Word document, want to do a "save as" to Sharepoint, how do I do it without having to temporarily store the document somewhere else.
    The "Share - Save to Sharepoint" in Office could be useful if I only could browse thru the folder hierarchy in the saved Sharepoint Locations. I have too many folder to add them all as "Sharepoint Locations".
    I have also tried to MS Document Connection, but as long as I cannot see the Document Connection from Office, it doesn't help much.
    Any advice?.

    I'm not a Mac user, that's my caveat, however there is a button on the ribbon for SharePoint Document Libraries on the Library Tab called Connect To Office.
    If that works with Office 2011 you'll start seeing your SharePoint site as a place where you can store documents in Office.
    Otherwise, you need to click "New" in teh library itself and have SharePoint open Office for you.

  • Connecting an IdeaPad U400 to a HDMI receiver

    Hi group.  I have a U400 with all the latest drivers running on Windows 8.  I can connect the laptop to a projector/monitor directly, but I can't connect to the projector/monitor via an HDMI receiver (Denon 889).  The laptop can't detect the external display.  I've tried changing to various resolutions to no avail.  I've also experimented turning on the devices in different order.  I've tried this under Windows 7 as well with no success.  I have no problems connecting another laptop (Acer 5920G) to the HDMI receiver.
    Does anyone have experience connecting a U400 (or U series laptop)  to an HDMI receiver.  Please share any experience you may have.  Thanks in advance.

  • Document display in crmd_order (f.g. SO33) - how to display email headers

    In CRMD_ORDER, in document flow, You can see and display documents connected with currently displayed contract - among them emails.
    But the information about them is limited: there is main body, attachments, and basic attributes (title, size, owner, create/modify time and a few others). Business requirement is that headers (to, cc, bcc) should also be visible in case of e-mails (at least those sent from CIC). The required information is available in system (CIC even displays it).
    I found out that email (document) display is done by SO33 function group, and wanted to use include LSO33F01, form html_display_document (displaying mail body on screen 1100) to add required headers to mail body for display purposes only. I wanted to use implicit enhancement points. But when I tried to, I found out that's not possible ('Object FUGR SO33 is part of the central basis and therefore cannot be enhanced'). I also found no helpful user exits/BAdIs.
    Question: how can I add required information to email display in CRMD_ORDER (other than editing SAP program) ?
    Thank You
    Marcin Sawicki

    Any suggestions on how to add information on document display screen of CRMD_ORDER? Please?

  • Obtaining an oracle.sql.STRUCT through a pooled JDBC connection

    Hello,
    I am using WebLogic Server 10 and and Oracle 10 and I am trying to obtain a vendor-specific oracle.sql.STRUCT from a ResultSet using a pooled connection defined in Weblogic. I need the vendor-specific object, rather than simply the java.sql.Struct implementation, because a third party library requires it.
    What gets returned in the ResultSet is a non-exposed WebLogic wrapper object which implements java.sql.Struct, but which cannot be cast to an oracle.sql.STRUCT. I can use reflection on this object to find and call the getVendorObj() method to obtain the oracle.sql.STRUCT, but this solution is not acceptable because this is not a published API and is not guaranteed not to change in future versions.
    How can I reliably obtain a vendor-specific implementation of java.sql.Struct through a WebLogic connection pool in WebLogic Server 10?
    Thanks for any advice,
    -Dan Schwemlein

    Joe,
    Thanks again. With your guidance, I have arrived at the following approach, which I'll post for the benefit of others, and which I'd be thankful if you would validate:
    1) Import the jar com.bea.core.datasource-1.0.0.0.jar from %BEA_HOME%\modules, which is the only location of the class WLConnection, which is the only class with the getVendorConnection() method you refer to.
    2) Get the logical connection from the pooled data source, cast it to a WLConnection, call getVendorConnection() to obtain an OracleConnection (from the ojdbc jar), and use this connection to obtain the required oracle.sql.STRUCT from an OracleResultSet.
    3) Be aware of the limitations and follow the guidelines in the document http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/jdbc/thirdparty.html#1043646 regarding security, error handling, releasing resources (close only the logical connection), etc.
    Does this sound like the approach you had in mind?
    Thanks again,
    -Danyes.

    Thank you for the information about the connection being closed.
    I will look into using this configuration setting.
    You say that you can describe a way to get a handle on an unwrapped
    pool object using some documented WLS-specific code. Are you referring
    here to the getVendorConnection() method?yes.
    This method does not help me
    get the oracle.sql.STRUCT object, because even the connection returned
    by getVendorConnection() returns a wrapped WL java.sql.Struct object
    from a call to getObject().I don't believe it. If you are running in WLS, with a local pool,
    the getVendorConnection() will give you the Oracle connection,
    which will give you an Oracle statement, etc, down to an oracle
    STRUCT object. Once you have a direct reference to the oracle connection,
    we're not in the picture when it returns something to you.
    It would be great if getVendorObj() were
    documented and could be counted on in future versions. To use this
    method, one would still have to access it via Java reflection, because
    the wrapper class and its getVendorObj() method would be exposed in an
    API, correct? Could this method be exposed in the API, so that reflection
    doesn't need to be used, or it is exposed somewhere that isn't documented?getVendorObj() is not yet exposed or therefore supported for the general
    wrapped object, so you would have to start from the connection and
    derive all subobjects from it.

    not a published API and is not guaranteed not to change in future versions.Understood. We all benefit from sticking to the J2EE standards,
    but we could also wish Oracle had done so with it's driver objects.
    I will assume your code is running in the WebLogic server, because
    an external JVM can never access the real driver object, which will
    always really be in the WLS JVM. No active JDBC object is serializable.
    How can I reliably obtain a vendor-specific implementation of java.sql.Struct
    through a WebLogic connection pool in WebLogic Server 10?There is no way to get a handle on an unwrapped pool object without using some
    WLS-specific code, though I can describe a way with documented methods,
    and/or I can get our documentation altered to say we'll support the
    getVendorObj() method. We introspect every vendor object, and for those
    implementations that have done the wise thing, projecting any non-standard
    methods as an Interface, we are able to also project that Interface so
    the vndor example code should work. However, in some poorly-done
    cases, such as for some Oracle stuff, there is either no Interface,
    or the Oracle code has extensions that take java.sql objects as input,
    (at least that's the signature of the method) but two lines into the
    method, the Oracle code assumes and casts the java.sql object to a concrete
    Oracle object. In these use cases you need the direct unwrapped object.
    We provide and document Connection.getVendorConnection(), and intend
    getVendorObj() to serve the same for subobjects, but note the dangers
    and responsibilities: We rely on our wrappers to implement the security
    and thread-safety of our pooling system. Because user code can get
    unrestricted access to the actual connection from most JDBC objects,
    we can never trust that we have complete control once a vendor object
    is exposed. Therefore, by default we will close and replace every JDBC
    connection so exposed, as soon as the current thread is finished with
    the pool connection. This hurts performance. We also document a pool
    config setting that will tell us that you take responsibility for any such
    problems, and not to close connections just because they've been exposed.
    HTH,
    Joe
