Documents loosing links over network to server

Hi
BACKGROUND
We are working in CS4.
Running Mac OS 10.6.3.
We all save our work to and on a company server.
All documents and links reside on this server.
PROBLEMS
What is happening is an operator will create a document, in a new folder on the server, save all the links and the indd doc to the same place.
While working all the links are linking, and updating, and working.
The same operator will save the document, and close it.
Then come back to open it later, only to find that now all the links are missing, and not linking.
The links folder has not been moved, changed, updated or amended in any way.
Many of the links are static hires tif images that do not move or change at all, and even these go missing.
Why would the document save with all the links intact, only to open again with all the links missing?
I would appreciate any help in this regard as this problem slows down our workflow and
productivity as each time the operators have to relink all the images to the job before
work can continue.
Regards

Start by checking that the times on all computers and the server are synched and that they are set to the same time zone.
It may also matter what protocol you are using to connect to the server. Is it Appletalk, SMB, etc. Basically, if one isn't working you could try something different and see if that helps.
Lastly, did the problem only just start with the 10.6.3 update? If so, it may require a patch by Apple or Adobe to fix permanently.

Agreed. I have a couple thousand forms in my system. No sooner did I get through many of them after ugrading to CC, Adobe upgraded again. It begins all over again. [sigh]

Import Data over network link in oracle 11g

We want to take export of the OND schema in production database and
import it to the OND schema in UAT database over a network
link by using data pump,in Oracle 11g.Kindly share the steps.

Scenario:
Directly importing the TEST01 schema in the production database (oraodrmu) to test database oraodrmt, over
a network by using database link and data pump in Oracle 11g.
Note: When you perform an import over a database link, the import source is a database, not a dump file set, and the data is imported to the connected database instance.
Because the link can identify a remotely networked database, the terms database link and network link are used interchangeably.

Problems with open an Indesign-Document over Network

Hallo,
we have a specialized problem with opening indesign-documents over network. Our users works with windows-pc (windows7) and adobe CS5 and CS6 and they will use there documents which are on our macserver 4.0 which works on OS X 10.10.2.
Sometimes the usurers become this Message
Wouldn't work indesign proberly on windows with documents which are on a macserver?
Please help me.
best regards
chris mueller

@Naga Sai J – you cannot open an InDesign CS4 file in the previous version.
But you can export an exchange file format for InDesign CS3.
Go to File/Export and chose INX for export: "InDesign CS3 Interchange-Format (INX)"
That .inx file could be opened with InDesign CS3.
After opening the .inx file, examine it well!
Some things might have changed (things regarding to newer or changed features from InDesign CS4).

Opening microsoft office documents from link in flash site

I have created a flash site, (its an internal site so nobody
outside the network will be able to access it) and I have numerous
documents linked in it. The documents all reside on the same server
as the flash website. When I click on the link to open a microsoft
office file (I have .doc, .xls, and .ppt on there) IE gives this
error:
Action canceled
Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you
requested. The page might be temporarily unavailable. I have
tried adding the domain to trusted sites under tools->options,
but that doesn't seem to work. After I get the Action canceled
error, if i hit enter or click the Go button next to the address
line, it will then go on and open the file. There is some kind of
communication error I can't figure out. The odd thing is that .pdf
files are not affected. They opened just fine from the get-go. Only
Office files. Is there a line of actionscript that needs to be in
there? Or a setting in IE that I am not thinking of? PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks

Trouble With Links to Network Files Within Online PDF

I posted this at the end of someone else's thread who had a similar problem but it may have gotten lost in the shuffle. Either that or no one has an answer. Here goes...
I create a Word document that contains links to network files (tested and working) and convert the document to a PDF. The links still function in the PDF when I test them. However, when someone opens the document from our intranet, the file:/// is replaced with some form of a relative link, either to a users C: drive or to an http:// directory. If I then go into the PDF and change the link action from Open File to Open Web Link and provide the full file:/// path, everything works as intended. This really wouldnt be a big deal if I was the one maintaining the document or if it were an occasional thing. The problem is that updating or adding a link to the document means correcting the existing links all over again. This is very cumbersome for the user who maintains the document.
I'm using Acrobat 8 Professional. Any ideas?

I'm having a similiar issue with cross platform (Vista to Mac OS X 10.5) file linking. We currently store indesign files on a folder in a shared drive (the mac unix path to the drive is /Volumes/SharedDrive and the vista path is Z:\) and link assets in the document to another folder stored on the shared drive. Note that all linked assets are not stored in the same location on the shared drive, for instance a linked image could be deep in the folder structure (/Volumes/SharedDrive/Marketing/Images/Fall09/example.jpg).
The Vista computer references files differently than the mac on the shared drive, it seems to mount the network drive directly on the root level rather than in the /Volumes folder. I've tried to symlink the graphics folder (the one containing all the linked assets) to the root level of the hard drive (ln -s /Volumes/SharedDrive/Graphics /Graphics) but when we tried relinking the assets InDesign figured out it was a symlink and resolved the path to the absolute path. Is there some sort of configuration option in mac to mount this windows drive (it is on SBS Windows 2003) in a way that won't cause linking conflicts between mac and pc? Any thoughts are much appreciated!
Thank you for all your help!

Where can I find a list of NI-DAQ functions supported over the RDA server?

Hello,
I am developing an application in Microsoft VisualC++ for PXI6071E MIO card remotely using RDA server.
What I found out is that not all the functions described in the "Traditional NI-DAQ Function Reference Help" shipped with NI-DAQ version 7.0 are supported over the RDA server (e.g. Init_DA_Boards, or AO_Configure).
Is there any document available where the functions supported by the RDA server are listed? It will help me a lot instead of manually executing all the needed functions and building this list by myself.
Thank you in advance,
Silvius
Silvius Iancu

Hello Sarah,
Thank you very much for the link.
Based on this article I included the easyio.h and easyio.lib from LabWindows/CVI into my VC++ project and I managed to perform the needed operations using Easy IO function calls.
As a result of my own tests, the Analog Input functions provided by nidaq are not supported by the RDA server, but the General Purpose Timer/Counter functions are well supported.
Hopefully the future versions of NI-DAQ will be fully supported by the RDA server.
Thank you for your help,

CC So slow over network

Creating a new document and linking a 300mb PSD file takes 8 minutes to insert and it is over gigbit.
To copy 300mg file to the desktop takes 15 seconds
As a test created another Illustrator file and linked to the desktop 300mg file and it insert instantly; then I opened CS6 and performed the same two tests: firstly linking the same 300mb file over the network took under 10seconds and linking the local file took about 3 seconds.
So the big Q of the day is why Illustrator CC does not want to play nice with files over the network, working locally is not an option. Are there any preference settings in Illustrator to fix this issue or any other setting to help things?
Regards
Dave

Dave,
You should be aware that it is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

Files deleted over network

Hi, some of users over the network accidentally deleted a folder from XServe, and he asked if it can be recovered, when someone deletes a file/folder over network OSX reports that "the item will be deleted immediately", is this true? it wont going to be stored in some "Network Trash Folder"? or ".Trashes"? or "Temporary Items"??
And if it really wont be recovered, is there a way to prevent this in the future? like to tell OSX Server to put all the files/folders deleted over network to be stored in a special folder for a certain time to prevent loosing important files accidentally or by other users??
Thanks

Bertrand> This seems a nice idea, but its not exactly what i need, people still need to delete files from the server, but sometimes they delete important things and im looking for a way that the OSX Server keeps the remotely deleted file for a certain amount of time so it can be restored if needed. many times users accidentally delete files from the server and hit the "OK" button without noticing they just delete an important file from the server and not from there HD, for example, in Apple Share IP on OS9 if you delete a file over the network it would keep it in the user Trash and he empties it, and if he for example restarted his computer, the file on the ASIP would be stored in "Network Trash Folder".. why the mighty OSX Server doest have this great ability?!
Steve> Tapes is great for backup and archiving, but its not what i am really looking for, it has the same problem i have with Time Machine, time machine wont backup a file copied to the server and accidentally deleted within an hour, so Tapes, wont backup a file copied and deleted within a day..
WelshDog2> just a question: if i dont have any partition on my XRAID, how can i make it backup its self on its own HD's?! is this possible?! it wont solve my problem but its good to know if this can be done..
Thank you all guys for your replies, i really appreciate it..

RF Related Documents and Links?

Hi Friends,
We are implementing RF Fuctionality for our clients, we are shortage of enough meterials. Could you help me in sending the documents or links. If there is documents, Kindly forward it to [email protected] .

Hi
I think you will get the SAP Console preinstalled with the SAP GUI Installation you can find it in Control Panel with the name SAPConsole Administrator. This communicates with SAP using some Telnet server and there are lot of telnet servers available in the market.
Some Useful Information for SAP Console and Telnet Server:
SAP Console Framework which enables users to execute R/3 transactions from Character based device including RF devices.
SAP Console consists of following three main components
1. SAP Console Software / Interface component
2. SAP Console Administrator Defining properties of SAP console
3. SAP Console I/O Engine I/O engine through which SAP console and User interact
Installation of SAP Console is a part of SAP GUI installation
Telnet server installation on the same machine in which SAP console is installed.
Standard Telnet server are
1.Slnet From Seattle Labs
2.GS_Tnet from Georgia Soft works
But any Telnet Sever application can be used which supports VT220 emulation.
Telnet Client is the Interface which is used to execute transactions. Ex. RF device
2) It comes preloaded with SAP GUI so need not worry about installation.
3) Yeah Packing process is supported in RF and you can get the couple of transactions related to RF and they start with LM*
For the rest you have transaction codes available like for example LM74, LM47, etc or else best thing is you use LM00 which is the starting transation code for your RF related activities.
Or else search for LM* in TSTC table.
Most corporations who implement an ERP system are confronted with the issue of how to simplify and streamline the logistics process utilizing radio frequency (RF) technology. For SAP R/3® users in particular, this issue has always been addressed by selecting and implementing a 3rd party RF Middleware system. Since SAP did not offer any type of RF solution, this became the only choice. In the latter part of 1999, SAP quietly introduced a product named SAPConsole to finally address the issue of supporting character-based RF devices from SAP R/3. The question that now needs to be answered is, What is SAPConsole and will it work for my application.
This guide will clear up the mystery about SAPConsole and describe the benefits and limitations when evaluating an SAPConsole Approach to RF Data Collection.
For RF SAPConsole to work companies will need, along with the SAPConsole implementation, to also implement a WLAN network using the appropriate technology, frequency, compatibility and so on. The SAPConsole consultant should be able to provide advice on this.
History of SAP Console
Several years ago SAP partnered and subsequently purchased OFEK-tech, an Israeli company specializing in Warehouse Management and Control. As SAP OFEK-tech, one of the main objectives of this new partnership was to develop native support for radio frequency (RF) devices for the SAP R/3 Warehouse Management Module.
Parallel to the OFEK-tech effort, SAP initiated a new more comprehensive Warehouse Management systems strategy starting with R/3 version 4.5 known collectively as the Logistics Execution System (LES). LES integrates the applications of Warehouse Management, Shipping and Transportation, and can operate in an integrated mode similar to all the other modules (MM, PP, etc.) or as a stand-alone system (Decentralized WM).
These two initiatives finally came together starting with LES in version 4.6B. The new RF solution for LES offers several new Mobile Data Entry transactions specifically designed for RF users and the supporting operations. This whole suite of functionality including business transactions, configuration, and RF device support is sometimes mistakenly referred to as SAPConsole, since it was first released with version 4.6B. Technically, it is more correct to call this RF solution the SAPConsole Approach.

Help! Saving an image to stream and recreating it on client over network

Hi,
I have an application that uses JDK 1.1.8. I am trying to capture the UI screens of this application over network to a client (another Java app running on a PC). The client uses JDK 1.3.0. As AWT image is not serializable, I got code that converts UI screens to int[] and persist to client socket as objectoutputstream.writeObject and read the data on client side using ObjectInputStream.readObject() api. Then I am converting the int[] to an Image. Then saving the image as JPEG file using JPEG encoder codec of JDK 1.3.0.
I found the image in black and white even though the UI screens are in color. I have the code below. I am sure JPEG encoder part is not doing that. I am missing something when recreating an image. Could be colormodel or the way I create an image on the client side. I am testing this code on a Win XP box with both server and client running on the same machine. In real scenario, the UI runs on an embedded system with pSOS with pretty limited flash space. I am giving below my code.
I appreciate any help or pointers.
Thanks

While testing more, I found that the client side is generating color UI screens if I use JDK 1.3 JVM for running the server (i.e the side that generates the img) without changing single line of code. But if I use JDK 1.1.8 JVM for the server, the client side is generating black and white versions (aka gray toned) of UI screens. So I added code to save int array that I got from PixelGrabber to a text file with 8 ints for each line in hex format. Generated these files on server side with JVM 1.1.8 and JVM 1.3. What I found is that the 1.1.8 pixel grabber is setting R,G,B components to same value where as 1.3 version is setting them to different values thus resulting in colored UI screens. I don't know why.

Accessing shared files over network

I am having some problems with a couple of database files that I access with a Java program over network. Different computers running this program all need access to these files, and my question is if anyone know of a good way to make sure that only one user have access to these files at the time. There is no server software running were the files are stored, they are simply reached through file sharing. Currently I am creating a lock file indicating that someone is editing the files, however if I am unlucky 2 users create that lockfile at the same time and then both get access to the file corrupting it. Anyone experienced this and know of a nice solution to avoid it?

Very new user needs help setting up a three user network plus server

Hi,
I'm an owner/manager of a recruitment company in the UK and we use three mac minis in our office to run our recruitment software (on a filemaker database) internet, mail and MS Office 2008.
We currently use one of the mini's as a 'server' in so much that it has a external HDD attached and shared across the network. We use Airport Extreme to share the internet.
Although to begin with this set up has served us well the amount of data travelling across the network and the prospect of a couple of new employees starting has made me think it's time to invest in a network and server of some description.
With my very limited knowledge i'm proposing the following but would greatly appreciate some assistance from the forum users!
Install OSX 10.5.3 Server on one of the Mac Minis
Get an ethernet switch and cable the three minis together
Use the external HDD as a time machine backup and store all files on the 'server' HDD
Continue to use the Airport Extreme to share the internet over airport.
I have a couple of questions:
Can the Server computer still be used as a desktop or do we need to buy a new mini
Does this set up make the airport base station redundant
As we grow I would envisage enlisting the help of a specialist Mac IT support company but in the mean time any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you again in advance.

I would get something better specified than a mini to be my Mac OS X based server, and although you can run it as a desktop I wouldnt advise it.
You ought to go out and buy the book Mac OS X Server 10.5 Essentials - The only Apple-certified book on Mac OS X Server - which Ive found to be a godsend of a book in getting Leopard Server going. Make sure you get the 10.5 version. Im in the UK and got it from Foyles in London.
Your approach is fine, but Leopard Server isnt as plug and go as the rest of Apples products. In particular it just doesnt function correctly if you do not have working DNS before you start. Period. If you dont understand DNS in your office or If having read the book you find its too technical you might be better off buying a no-brand Network File Store/Disk or even a Time Capsule from Apple if its mainly shared disk space that you need.

Templates and document relative linking.

Im trial using DW cs5 and find that if i make a template and then
use that template to make pages it doesnt make document relative links.
Instead it makes links relative to my local drive. ie c/documents/foo.
Even if I have the template file with document relative links, when I make the page it turns into local relative and to upload this to a server wont work.
Am I missing something ?
I can figure it out.
CS4 did this fairly easy.
Cheers

I dont know how to fix this.
My site is set to relative document linking and the template is linked that way but when I make a new page from template it reverts to local linking.
instead of ../../ images , I get c://documents/ etc.
I dont know whats going on.

NPS: Event 6274 - Network Policy Server discarded the request for a user

Intermittently I will get desktop (wired) and laptop (wireless) computers experiencing issues with NPS (they drop off the network).
Some computers are affected more than others, although they are identical hardware and based on a standard image.
In the event log of the NPS servers I can see the following messages:

How do I debug when an internal error occurs but there is nothing in the system event log? Where else can I look?

A belated thanks for your reply.
Our environment doesn't have NPS accounting configured so that was easy to rule out.
The mid-day drop outs have stopped after I added "set protocols dot1x authenticator no-mac-table-binding" to our Juniper switches (which prevents mac address aging from clearing the active dot1x client session).
I believe the above error message occurs because the RADIUS session ID is rejected / ignored because of some quirks in the RADIUS standard. At the start of a dot1x authentication request a RADIUS session ID is created. For whatever reason the
RADIUS/NAP server stops responding and the Juniper switch fails over to the backup RADIUS/NAP server configured. The session ID is kept (per RADIUS standard) but the backup RADIUS/NAP server doesn't know about the session, so this event: "Network
Policy Server discarded the request for a user." occurs.
It would be nice to see a clearer error message "Invalid RADIUS session" or similar.
There is a Microsoft guide on how to set up RADIUS/NAP servers in a highly available configuration - something to do with RADIUS proxy servers.
It would be even nicer to see some kind of RADIUS session synchronisation between NAP servers... if it doesn't already exist?
I am having the same exact issue you posted on here except I have Extreme Network switches. Some of my computers, various hardware, will randomly not authenticate during re-authentication. The switch says that it failed to contact the NPS server so then it
switches to my backup server. The client has a random time on how long it waits to authenticate so sometimes I end up having the disable/re-enable the port they are connected to so that the session is started again. I see that you basically removed the option
to force clients to re-authenticate Any downfall disabling that?. Any idea why the NPS server is no longer responding? Are you using Windows Server 2012?
