DSS and QTSS Publisher

Hi there
I installed DSS recently on my iMac 1.8GHz. After some minor problems, it works nicely now.
Well, I would like to have the playlists a little more "dynamic". I've been desperately looking for any software, that makes the editing of playlists easier. Editing them via the DSS interface is - well - annoying...
I found the QTSS Publisher and I thought to myself, well this might work. Unfortunately it doesn't. The application says "Server is not responding" and won't start.
I believe that QTSS publisher won't be able to work with DSS (unfortunately), but I would like to hear some other thinkings...
Anyone has a solution or suggestion for this issue? (In the worst case: just tell me that i'm right, and it won't ever work...)
Thanx, Lukas

First thing to check are your firewalls. Do you have the internal firewall turned on? If so, are the proper services allowed?

Darwin Streaming Server and QTSS Publisher

We have a QTSS server set up on an Xserve and can connect to it using QTSS publisher, the problem comes when we try to connect to a MacbookPro that's running DSS. any connection attempts give an error that the server didn't return a response. the MBP is connected to the xserve and is on the same subnet with no firewalls. is this a limitation of QTSS Publisher?

I must admit I haven't tried it in awhile, but didn't think it had changed that much. If you can actually get the delay down to 0.1 seconds, there's a lot of Keynote users that will be VERY happy to try that out

What happened to QTSS Publisher?!?! What's the new workflow?

Hello everyone,
At my the art college I work at, I administer some HDTV's that run from Mac Mini's that load QTSS Playlists from the QTSS Server as .sdp files.
Or at least I DID until we upgraded to Leopard Server 10.5, which promised better performance when streaming HD content.
Three different TV's (on 3 dif mini's, with 3 dif .sdp's) used to stream .sdp Playlists made in the program QTSS Publisher. It's kind of like iTunes for QT video files. But now that the server is 10.5, the client can't see the server and there is no new client to download.
My video students and I would be very grateful if anyone could point me to the workflow that is supposed to replace QTSS Publisher.
What do you do with 10.5 Server when you want to concurrently stream different playlists of 20 successive videos, each?

The screen size is too small on the webpage created by QTSS publisher

Hello,
I published a video file using QTSS publisher.
I'm using "Publish media to Quick Time Streaming Server (instant-on) and Webpage action "Auto-play in Web page".
The screen size is fine when playing via the streaming link but when I create an actual webpage using QTSS publisher and dropping the movie file to that webpage, the screen size is extremely small while playing. Is there a way to make the playing screen size bigger in the webpage?
The html looks like this:
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="640" height="304" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">

There wasn't an option on sizing when creating the webpage using QTSS publisher. Does it need to be manually edited?

QTSS Publisher not allowing me to upload anything

I am trying to use QTSS Publisher to upload movies for streaming. When I log in I get an error about being not able to make a folder because I do not have admin privileges. Our server admin has given me full rights and I still can not do anything with QTSS Publisher. I also have a server that I can use to experiment. I am able to publish to it with QTSS Publisher, I am the only user on that server. Is the admin the only one that can publish with QTSS Pub.?

try creating a new admin user account on your machine and create a new library. try importing a CD.

QTSS Publisher Not Connecting to Server

I have QTSS running and working on my server, but I want to content manage my streams with QTSS Publisher. I downloaded and Installed QTSS Publisher on my computer and on my Server (XServe 10.5.6 - 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) All required scripting is running (Apache) but after I install QTSS Publisher, and enter my server and login for the server I get an error saying "The server didn't return a response". I get this error even when I am on the server! Is this a compatablity issue? Its seems so powerful but I cant get it to work! PLEAse let me know something!!

How do I Manage media for QTSS without QTSS Publisher?

Mac OS X Server Server Administration For Version 10.5 Leopard
p. 49 says:
“Media Streaming Management
QuickTime Streaming and Broadcasting Administration provides instructions for
administering QuickTime Streaming Server (QTSS) using Server Admin.
QuickTime Streaming and Broadcasting Administration also describes QTSS Publisher, an
easy-to-use application for managing media and preparing it for streaming or
progressive download.”
But the manual QuickTime Streaming and Broadcasting Administration For Version 10.5 Leopard
Has no reference whatsoever to “QTSS Publisher” or “Publish”
And the Migrating from Mac OS X Server v10.3 manual
Says on p. 69:
QTSS Publisher Files and Folders
QTSS Publisher has been removed from Mac OS X Server v10.5. However, files created
using QTSS Publisher on v10.4 should continue to work on v10.5.
What gives?
How do I migrate and then upload and manage my QTSS files now? The manuals are vague!

Hi Tom,
I did this last night (literally). Here is what you need to do. I am working under the premise that your current server is a Tiger server. If this is not the case, then you may have to adapt the Tiger server locations I am providing to your version of server.
If you have not tweaked Apple's configuration in any way, your current streaming media files are located in /Library/QuickTimeStreaming/Movies on the Tiger server. You will need to copy these files to the same location on the Leopard server. Next, you will need to set the permissions and ownership of the files you just copied. If you execute the +ls -l+ command from /Library/QuickTimeStreaming/Movies, you will find that the permissions for the stock sample files are -rw-rw-r--, and that the owner:group is +_qtss admin+. So to change your files to match these parameters, execute (as sudo) the chmod command +chmod 644 <filename>+ as well as the chown command +chown _qtss:admin <filename>+. Now when you execute +ls -l+, you should find that the owner, group, and permissions for all the files are the same.
Once that is done, the rest is fairly straightforward per Apple's documentation. One thing I will say, as this burned me last night, is that if you change IPs, and you are also using the Web server component, things will get a bit funky. The files themselves will be fine, but QTSS will become unbound from whatever IP it was set to originally, and Web server will prevent it from starting. You'll have to re-bind QTSS to the appropriate IP (if your server is multihomed), re-enable streaming on port 80 if necessary, start QTSS, then start the Web server.
Good luck! Hopefully through my suffering you will suffer less.

Where is QTSS Publisher in 10.5 Server?

From the Streaming Server FAQ:http://www.apple.com/quicktime/streamingserver/faq.html
"QTSS Publisher comes installed on Mac OS X Server in the /Applications/Server directory. The application can be installed on other Mac OS X computers by simply copying it to those machines; no installer is required. QTSS Publisher is also available on the Mac OS X Server v10.4 Admin Tools CD."
No such application exists in the /Applications/Server/ directory in v10.5...and it's not on the Admin Tools CD, either. Does Publisher not exist anymore after v10.4, or has it moved to where I can't find it?

The program was REMOVED from Mac OS 10.5 Server.
But the functionality still remains in an HTML WEB INTERFACE.
First turn on web admin access in the Server Admin app, then you need to ascertain the network address of your Streaming Server, then launch Safari and enter it:
172.xxx.xxx.xxx
with ":1220" at the end, like so:
http://172.xxx.xxx.xxx:1220/
Then you can log in with the web admin password you set in Server Admin, setup Playlists and everything else.
It's weird that they just killed this with no word, but it's okay. QTSS Publisher was buggy never worked well to begin with. The web interface is good at catching problems and alerting you instead of just immediately crashing.
Good luck.

QuickTime (QTSS) Publisher

What happened to QuickTime (QTSS) Publisher in Leopard Server?
I am seeing conflicting information from Apple, most noticeably it is referenced on http://www.apple.com/quicktime/streamingserver/, yet it is absent from the 10.5 QT Streaming manual, images.apple.com/quicktime/pdf/QTStreamingTB.pdf. As far as I can tell, it is not included with a default Leopard Server install, nor is it available for download, nor is it on the admin tools disc.
Did it quietly disappear, and what is taking it's place?

QTSS Publisher has indeed been removed from 10.5 Server. I'm not sure what, if anything, Apple intends admins to use as a replacement.

Problems with reports and XML-publisher - No XML

Hi!
I'm having a problem with Apps and XML-publisher. I made a report file, which queries some views. When executing in reports, I get all the data I expect.
Now, when I upload the reportfile to Apps and let it generate XML, my xml-file is empty (well, almost empty)
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<T03501684>
<LIST_G_PERSOON>
<LIST_G_PERSOON />
</T03501684>
Anyone who can shed any light upon this problem?

OK, finally solved the problem... A good night's sleep always helps ;).
After just trying each queried table one after an other, I found the problem:
The difference between Oracle Apps (Dutch locale) and the reports builder (English) is the language... And our functional people have changed some names, but the Dutch ones, leaving the english names in place and one of the tables I query has language specific data, which is also appears in a where clause.

Where are you hosting the site a what are you using to upload the site files to the server?

The problem is when we create and then publish to ibooks review it can not be shown completely. How can I solve this problem?

The problem is when we create and then publish to ibooks review it can not be shown completely. How can I solve this problem?

If you are saying, that you published the book to the iBooks review team and cannot be seem in the store.
Use your iTunes Connect account > Manage your Books to check on its status. It takes time so you need to allow a few days.
If its a problems viewing on your iPad Follow the above advice and another option is is export your book, open iBooks on your Mac and drag the book into iBooks.
You can iTunes > add to libray and sync to your iPad.

SAP Netweaver Portal - Folder structure and report publishing strategy

Hi gurus,
I'm working on a project in which we are publishing BW reports in SAP Netweaver Portal (prior to this, we were using SAP Bex Browser) organizing it by Department (workset, 2nd lvl of navigation), Business Processes (workset, 3rd lvl of navigation) and "iview types" (transactions, queries, dashboards and so on). On 1st level we have a workset simply called "Reports".
For each PFCG role we have on BW (ABAP Server), we created a portal role and defined which of the higher navigation tiers is visible to users (delta-linking the top level navigation worksets to the portal role and setting visible accordingly) and then we assigned Portal roles to the appropriated Group (PFCG role) so all users that have access to certain PFCG role can have access to the corresponding Portal role.
For example:
In BW (ABAP) we have a PFCG Role: Sales PMR Analysis - Administrator, which grants access to Sales Infoproviders, queries and data for PMR analysis. The user that have access to it, should be able to see:
|Reports|
|Sales Administration|
v PMR Analysis
> Web Queries
> Transactions
> Dashboards
> Workbooks
In Portal we create a workset that has: "Reports" and under it, all Departments (Sales Administration, Financial, Services, Human Resources and so on) set as "not visible". We create a Portal role called PMR Analysis and add the Report/Departments workset, set Sales Administration as visible and add worksets/folders named PMR Analysis, Web queries, Transactions, etc, and all the corresponding iviews under it.
If we assign this new Portal role to the Group of the corresponding PFCG role, the user will see exactly as the example from above.
Pros: The users have a clean view of the reports he/she has access.
Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist.
One of the options would be to grant visibility to ALL departments, business processes and iviews in Portal and let PFCG security roles control user access, but that might be confusing to have an overwhelming amount of links, making it hard to find what the user needs, specially during first access. Not to mention possible security breaches.
So, I'd like to know how other consultants are defining this kind of folder structure and report publishing strategy in Portal. Ideally we would like to be able to have:
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
I'd appreciate if you guys can share your experience on this.
Thanks in advance.
Leandro

Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist
This is not a refutation: your BW developers/consultants should be able to write reports, which points you in case of insufficent backend rights. EP is not designed to be familiar with ABAP security concept and cant take any influence at it.

Yes, bad idea.
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
As you already wrote on your own, this would be not good
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
This is not covered by SAP, if you wanna provide that, develop it on your own.
cheers

How to disable 'Save' button when OAF and XML Publisher integrated...URGENT

Hi,
I am new to the OA Framework and XML publisher. I have been working on a requirement where I am designing a new page in Manager Self Service with few fields and a submit button. Also designed a RTF template in XML publisher to display the output in PDF format.
When the details are entered on the page and click on 'Submit' button, the PDF will Open with the data populated. This is working perfectly... thanks to the forum.
But my issue is: When the submit button is clicked, it displayes a dialog box with Open/Save/Cancel options and if I click the 'Open', the PDF will be opened. But my client is a retail client and they don't want store managers to save this PDF so either I have to skip this dialog box and directly open the PDF or I have to disable the 'Save' on the dialog box.
Gurus -- Please help me how to achieve this. This is very urgent
Below is the piece of code I am using in the controller to generate the PDF.
TemplateHelper.processTemplate(
((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getAppsContext(),
APP_NAME,
TEMPLATE_CODE,
((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getUserLocale().getLanguage(),
((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getUserLocale().getCountry(),
inputStream,
TemplateHelper.OUTPUT_TYPE_PDF,
null,
pdfFile);
Thanks in Advance,
Naren

Frank, thanks for the update.
But do you want me to try ControllerContext.getInstance().getCurrentViewPort().isDataDirty(); in button disable property?
I have written one method in my am like
public boolean isTransactionDirty(){
return getDBTransaction.isDity();
and exposed that method to client side and i try to use this method in my button disable property as
disable#{bindings.isTransactionDirty.execute} but this is not working.
Thanks

BIEE and BI Publisher standalone

Hi,
I am new to BI, I went through OBE for BIEE and BI Publisher. I have installed BIEE (and BI publisher desktop) successfully, when I launch BI Publisher shipped with BIEE, I dont get admin tab and thus account tab in preferences. Moreover, no option to create new report etc however, I can work in Dashboard and Answers. Then I installed BI Publisher standalone, I performed this installation twice, once it was installed at 9704 port (when OC4J of BIEE was stopped) and next time at 9705 port (when OC4J service was running). With this new installation I got admin tab and was able to create report and word template etc. But with that installation I was unable to proceed with section "Creating BI Publisher Reports Based on Various Data Sources" of BI getting started OBE : http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bipub/intro/gettingstarted.htm as MS word can either connect to 9705 BI installation only. Can any one please guide me what I am missing and that should BIEE and BI Publisher standalone be installed on same PC or not, or, what else I need to do to complete that OBE.
NOTE: I have done all installation on VMWare, I hope it has nothing to do with the problem I am facing.
Thanks in Advance and Best Regards,
Qamar

There are several reasons as to why you can have the BIP Admin tab missing in your installation. This issue is very well covered in the forum so I suggest you use the forum search and read them all.
