Edit-In-Place with CMSDK 9.0.4.2.X ?

Hi all,
Oracle Content Services and Oracle Content DB ship with a special Active-X-Component "Edit-in-Place" which allows the user to edit documents directly in an Oracle-Drive-connected DMS repository. This feature is used i.e. in Oracle ADF to build web applications in which the user can edit documents in MS Word et al. simply by clicking the "edit-in-place" link.
Unfortunately, we run Oracle CMSDK 9.0.4.2.X, so we have doubts about using the "Edit-in-Place" control in our environment.
Does anybody know
- whether it would be possible to include the Active-X-control "Edit-in-place" in our Oracle ADF applications running on AS 10.1.2.0.2
- whether the "Edit-in-place" control would work with the Oracle CMSDK 9.0.4.2.x
- what system requirements are generally needed for the "Edit-in-Place" control
- whether this use would be certified and licensed appropriately
- if the control can not be used: Is there any workaround or best practise on how to edit documents in the CMSDK repository directly from web applications?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
we implemented a cross-browser edit-in-place solution for CM SDK 9.0.4.x. If you're interested check out inxire.com.

Hi Matt,
Thank you for your very useful reply.
I have non blocking serial approval workflow.
In my workflow I have attachment as PDF document to be signed. URI of that document is from Odrive. Foe example O:\sjrwmd\DMSFAContainer\DMSFALibrary\36397\P041282\978599\Invoice_with_2_blank_sig_OD_2.pdf
When task has been assign to any user, from task detail page of the worklist application user click / open that pdf file and sign the document. When user save this document Odrive should save that to Contentdb.
Just wanted to know that why it is not ODrive bug?
I was able to do following test It works only in Acrobat 6.0.
Steps I did,
1) Upload pdf file to folder with manual versioning enable.
2) Manually checked out file from web ui.
3) Login to ODrive using same user
4) Created html file with link (Please replace href portion to your url of the file)
<HTML>
<BODY>
Testing Link <BR>
<a class="blue" href="O:/sjrwmd/DMSFAContainer/DMSFALibrary/36397/P041282/978599/Invoice_102_wit
h_blank_sig_OD.pdf" target="_blank">Invoice_101CD.pdf</a> <BR>
<a class="blue" href="O:/sjrwmd/DMSFAContainer/DMSFALibrary/16966/P040577/246361/ST_Memo.doc"
target="_blank">ST_Memo.doc</a>
</BODY>
</HTML>
5) Open html in browser
6) Click on document link
7) Will open pdf files in browser
8) Sign the document
9) Click on save a copy button.
10) In the save a copy dialog , file name place paste your file url of o drive for example in my
case
O:/sjrwmd/DMSFAContainer/DMSFALibrary/36397/P041282/978599/Invoice_102_with_blank_sig_OD.pdf
click save
11) This should save updated file
12) Checked in document
I will look into programmatically way to achive this.

Jigar

Geotagging - how can I edit new places that I have previously created but with typos, errors etc? How do I delete a place I have set up?

Geotagging - how can I edit new places that I have previously created but with typos, errors etc? How do I delete a place I have set up? Then I could create a new, correct entry. I'm using iPhoto '09.

Is it OK to reply to my own question?? Thanks to the related posts that appeared AFTER I'd made the post above, I learnt about the 'Manage my places' item under the Windows menu. I felt a bit dumb not knowing this.
BUT it doesn't completely resolve the issue. The info shown in the EXIF (using opt-cmd-I) under Places has the place name I choose, but it is followed by a few other lines that are incorrect and do not seem to be anything to do with any data I can see under 'Manage my places'.
Can anyone explain where these other entries might come from, and how to edit them?

Edit-in-place NOT working...

I've recently installed FCS at our small shop. I've read the Geller book, followed the Admin manual, and pretty much have gotten it to work.
However, I can't get "edit in place" to work. It did work when I initially installed the system and tested it. And now, after a complete re-install, it doesn't work.
I am using two local RAIDs. Each have a media directory that I set up as a device. For example:
One device is called "Mojo Project Media 02"
In the Device Pane (on the Admin / Client Java Interface) the Local Directory reads:
"/Volumes/RAID_02/Mojo Project Media 02"
So the Mac edit-in-place URI reads:
"file://localhost/Volumes/RAID_02/Mojo Project Media 02"
I can't get the edit in place URI to not ad "localhost" but I don't think this should matter.
Whenever I try to move media into a Browser Window from FCS, it tells me I must copy it to my local cache first. This didn't happen when I first installed/configured the system.
Can you not set up edit-in-place for a local directory (ie. a volume locally attached to the server with FCS installed)?
I know it worked before. Is there something I am missing?

Thanks A. Richards.
After much testing, I realized that on the FCSr machine that it indeed had edit-in-place status because of the storage directly attached to it. BUT the other client computers did not.
So basically, since we don't have the $1000 a seat for XSAN and we are only cutting DV and DVCPRO HD...
We could configure our Mac Pro Server to be an AFP share over the network; it's plenty fast over Ethernet since it's aggregated over 6 gigabit ports to a switch and has PCIe RAID storage attached. We could give this edit-in-place status IF...
We used another machine (server class) to install FCSr on.
This would work right?

Is there a way to edit a PDF with a full blown version of Adobe 5.0

Is there a way to edit a PDF with Acrobat 5

If it is a form, then there should be fillable fields that change to an I-bar as you move the hand over the field. If the hand does not change, then it is not technically a form -- only looks like one. You can use the form tool in AA5 to add fields to complete, use the typewriter tool (or it is some other name in AA5), or select the text touch up tool and hold down the ctrl key as you place the cursor to create a new text box.

'Edit in Place' for XLSM-files (Excel Macro-Enabled)

Hi,
is it possible to activate 'Edit in Place' for xlsm-files (Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook file)?
For xls(x)-files there is the link 'Edit This File', but not for files of type 'xlsm' allthough they could be dealt the same way with Excel.
I know I can edit this files using the 'Add-in for MS Office' and via the 'Vibe Desktop', but it would be nice to deal them like other Excel-files.
thx

Hi Martin,
Yeah, the Vibe docs can help on occasion
Still, thanks for feeding it back to the forums as it can be quicker finding a hit in the forums than having to go through the docs!

How do you edit the "place" in Places?

I've been working on assigning places to images in my Aperture library. I'm doing this manually.
At the top of the Map View, you see the Country, State, City and Place. I cannot figure out how to edit the Place. Aperture keeps assigning the same Place to all of my images.
For example, I have photos from Berryville, Virginia. When I add that location, it automaticallly adds Folly Beach as the Place. Same thing happens with some photos taken in New Orleans.
Moving the Pin doesn't solve the issue. I've deleted the loation and tried adding it again, but the same thing happens. I don't see anything in the Aperture user manual that addresses this.
Any help would be appreciated.

It took me some time to figure it out, too:
What I do for my older pictures without gps data is:
- select the picture in the places view
- Main menu -> Metadata -> assign Location
- in the search field (upper left corner) I enter the name of a Landmark that I am looking for
- Aperture will show the landmark on the map, marked by a pin, and a place name that I do not want
- then I move the pin to the precise spot on the map and adjust the radius to a very small value, so that not all my pictures will show up in the same location
- now in the bottom row text field the place name can be edited. I change it to the name I want and press "assign"
Hope that helps

Edit in Place without installing Oracle Drive

Hello
We wish to use the functionality of 'Edit In Place' through our own custom jsp pages however we do not wish to deploy Oracle Drive to users as we want to force them to use the business logic inherent in our custom jsp pages.
Is there a way of using 'Edit In Place' without deploying Oracle Drive?
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,
You could build your own "edit-in-place" functionality with some custom programming, given that you are writing custom JSP pages.
The Content DB Development Kit has a topic titled "Custom Web Applications" with an explanation on how to configure custom servlets.
You could write a custom servlet that uses the Content DB API to update Documents and interact with your custom JSP/HTML page, which could provide an "edit-in-place" GUI.
You could use a product such as Editize (http://www.editize.com) to provide the editing functionality.
When the client-side editing is finished, the changes can be sent to your custom servlet, which would update the Document.
If you build this solution, you may be able to offer it to other Content DB customers!

Edit-In-Place still caching media

FCSvr system, XSAN, Edit-In-Place set for all Devices. But when FCP projects are checked out by the editors, it still loads all the video files into their local Cache. Unable to duplicate the problem on my own system. The difference is that they have some Ethernet only clients, and some Fibre clients (FCP only on Fibre clients). Why would Edit-In-Place still download the video files to local cache?
FYI, I've set up FCSvr systems before, this is my first mixed (Fibre + Ethernet only) environment, and the first time I've seen this odd behavior.

OK, well, there were other problems they didn't tell me about. Some video assets could be drag-and-dropped from a Projects window in FCSvr to the Browser in FCP. Others could only be done from an Assets window in FCSvr. And this had been going on since the FCSvr 1.5 upgrade.
I attempted to change the URI, but FCSvr would simply revert back to the original every time I tried. I logged out, and the whole system seems to work fine now. Go figure.
Anyone see any quirks with the FCSvr 1.5 upgrade?
Now they want to upgrade everything to Snow Leopard. I'm not touching the Leopard Servers until I see a more stable SL Server!
Still, very odd problem. Wish I knew what it was exactly. Seems playing with URI's reset something. But it all works now.

Edit in place and versioning

Hi
Having built a very fast network to make use of 'Edit In Place' we are surprised to see that Edit in place does not appear to support versioning? i.e we want to drag out a project, work on it and then drag it back into FCserver, where a new version is created. Any thoughts?
There only seem to be hints in the manuals about using EIP, contradicted each time by the statement that 'Checking in and out' is the best way to use FCserver...
Thanks
Dan

Thanks John - I think you made a vital link in my understanding!
I've been messing about this morning and all my problems (touch wood) seem to be resolved after your last comment.
You may remember replying to my thread a while back about metadata... Even that seems to be fixed now!
I think I should outline my workflow - it may help anyone reading!
Firstly, I have changed my compressor cluster to a custom one. I was having problems using 'this computer' cluster; freezing transcodes and i think it was screwing with my Log and Transfer metadata too. Anyway, it tells you how to change it to a custom cluster in the setup guide - takes two minutes. I recommend it, even if you only ever use the admin user to use FCServer like we do.
Ok, the workflow:
-Create a new (filesystem) device with an Edit In Place path using the java client app (not the server pref pane). call it XXX_JOB for example. remember to create a folder in your storage/raid/san first!
Local Directory:
/Volumes/Data/FCSvrDevices/XXXJOB
Macintosh edit-in-place:
file://localhost/Volumes/FCSvrDevices/XXXJOB
(nb: our server has a RAID called 'data', it's share is a mounted as a volume on the local machine called 'FCSvr_Devices')
-Create a production scan for the device - set it off - make sure it is setup to read the correct directory levels for its production name and metadata name. in my experience this takes some fiddling! the workflow example book regarding this setting features a few misprints too!
-In this order; open FCP on the local machine, set the capture scratch to the XXX_JOB device you just made (our devices are on a server volume mounted locally - v.important for EIP to work). Save the project with the exact name you want the production to be - XXX_JOB.fcp. Open log and transfer, add your metadata and set it off. when it is done save your project and close FCP.
Check locally in finder that as a result of changing your scratch you have something like:
FCSvrDevices/XXXJOB/capture scratch/XXXjob/mvixxx.mov
(Where FCSvr_Devices is your storage device/raid/san, XXX_JOB is the new device and mvi_xxx.mov is a file from L&T.)
-If all is well you should soon after have a new production folder called 'XXX_JOB' in FCServer. If you double click this you should see all the files you ingested using L&T. You may now upload your local FCP project to this production. If your Edit In Place has worked properly then you will not duplicate your original media. We do this because we don't want to have any extraneous copies or have to take any unnecessary steps in deleting them.
-When you check this project out you will get a pop up asking you if you want to use original or proxy media. since we are editing in place it doesn't matter. hit 'check out' and only the FCP project will come down. you can now edit away, adding more media as you go from any EIP enabled device - we've found it even works using finder (allowing the use of finder's cool spacebar preview that FCServer doesn't have!). When you check back in FCServer doesnt duplicate any media. you just get a nice new version of your project and no uploading or caching! you can view the assets used in the project by double clicking to 'enter' the project.
This seems to work perfectly now. If anyone has any thoughts as to if this is the best way of doing it i would be interested to know.
Thanks again John

Edit-in-place isn't working

Hi
I've a problem with the edit-in-place config. I have mapped the device with "afp://..." and put the path into the field "Macintosh edit-in-place URI":
file://localhost/Volumes/Data/FCS/...
The file path shouldn't be the problem in order of the finding items when I test it in Safari.
But I still need to cache the asset when I drag'n drop the file into a final cut project. And I don't get a grey dot in the list view in front of the asset.
Any ideas to fix the problem?
thanks!

I am having similar symptoms using Lightroom 1.2 and CS2. I just updated to Lightroom 1.2 this week.
The first time I select edit in CS2 Photoshop launches fine and the image is transferred. If I attempt to edit a second image Lightroom hangs indefinitely on "Preparing the file for edit". Lightroom is dead at this point. Any attempted operation, including canceling the edit, just adds to the hanging stack. The only out I have found so far is to exit Lightroom, tell it to abandon all uncompleted tasks, and then restart it. At that point it will again work correctly to edit one image. It is the editing that causes the hanging, other functions performed after an edit do not (e.g. working in the develop module on a second image).
Lightroom 1.1 did not have this problem. The images I was working on were imported into Lightroom after I updated to 1.2. I am working under XP Pro and off of an internal (vs external) hard drive.

Putting video clips (mov) in to edit work place time line after photos (jpeg) getting error message, the importer reported a generic error. ? please help thanks

premier elements12, putting video clips (mov) in to edit work place time line after photos (jpeg) error message, the importer reported a generic error. ? please help.

Thanks for the reply.
Some general comments...
Regarding:
THERE ANY WAY I CAN PUT MULTIPLE RANDUM TRANSITIONS IN TO THE TIME LINE WITH JUST ONE CLICK ? .
There is no transition choice for random transitions across the Premiere Elements 12 workspace Timeline. But, the Elements Organizer 12/Create Menu/Slideshow and its Slideshow Editor does have that random transition choice. So, one possibilitity would be to create your slideshow in Elements Organizer 12 Slideshow Editor and then move the slideshow into Premiere Elements with the Output of Edit with Premiere Elements Editor command.
Pending more details of the slideshow you are creating, I think that you would get your best photo quality and overall results staying with Premiere Elements 12 workspace (1080p) project and the transitions randomized manually.
perhaps applying the default to all (all at the same time),
using Timeline Menu/Apply Default Transition,
and then replacing transitions randomly for the random transition look).
Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
Thanks.

AI CS3 - symbol position changes when editing in place?

I'm encountering a very frustrating bug with CS3 - wondering if anyone knows a workaround.
I'm working with very detailed symbols that are precisely positioned on a grid. In order to help position the symbol, I embed a rectangular guide element (the same size for each symbol) within the symbol itself, to act as the outer bounding box.
However this seems to be working against me - after painstakingly positioning a symbol in its place on the grid, if I ever need to modify the symbol via edit in place, as soon as I enter isolation mode, the symbol will jump randomly 1-10 pixels up and to the left, systematically. When I exit isolation mode, it generally stays in its new position and has to be re-moved.
T

Does this happens with all symbols, or if there some element in your symbols that sets this off. Try putting a rectangle with fill & stroke of none that is slightly larger than your symbol, could even use a multiple of your grid size.
I do this for logos that are lopsided (eg: a logo with a ®) so they center perfectly when using the align command, and has worked great when making design changes to logo that would have otherwise affected their positioning

Setup Edit in place

I need to setup edit in place on our main array. I have plenty of bandwidth so that's not an issue.
how do you make your main library an edit in place device? I've tried adding file:///volumes/volumenamehere in the mac edit in place url field
what's wrong?

I got it working. I will post this just in case it helps someone else.
this is the setup:
dedicated macpro running FCS with a locally attached SATA RAID called FCS_RAID
It is a server, both public, dhcp, and some other stuff not relevant. I am directly connected via 2 gigabit ethernet cables (trunked) and use a locally assigned IP e.g. 168.254.xxx.xxx
the volume is mounted and is accessible as file://localhost/Volumes/FCS_RAID/
I am wanted to use the Library (default created by FCS) as an edit in place device since that is where the media lives
to get EIP to work I copied the path from the "Local Directory" field. So basically file://localhost/whatever it says in the local directory field
What is not working properly now is the location in which the project thinks the files are located.
This is our simplified workflow:
P2 dumped to external drive during shoot
archived raw etc
footage is logged and transfered in FCP and media managed to a DROBO
from there is is uploaded to FCS and our main RAID.
If I were to check out the project I'm sure the file locations would be updated to the local cache but since I'm doing an edit in place I want to use the media on the RAID. But, when I "reveal in finder" I see that the media is linked to the DROBO instead of the RAID. Now the media is also located on the RAID in the standard "library" location.
Why didn't FCS update the FCP project to the new location of the media?
I can work around this by unmounting the DROBO and relinking the media to my RAID but I don't want to.
Thanks for your help guys.
