Edit Original application file

Hi,
How to edit an original application file in a document.

Hi,
Editing files (originals) attached to DIR depends upon the format of the attached file, authorization provided to the particular user.
the settings for workstation application has to be provided in dc30 for the particular attached file which needs to be edited.
for more advanced way in editing you need to have ECL Viewer to be installed on your system which helps in redlining/marking and even more editing options.
Thank You,
Manoj

Problem in Creating Source Files (Templates) for Original Application Files

Dear Friends,
I am trying to ccreate "Source Files (Templates) for Original Application Files" . I checked the link
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/Templates-Document+Management
I created a new DOc. type TMP with no statuses, checked in KPO, assigned no. ranges.
Created DIR & assigned the template file, checked into storage category. DIR no. 10000000390 created.
In Workstation application "DOX" in define templates for originals : doc. type: ZGA, application: DOX; language- EN; no - 01; In source doc- entered doc. type- TMP, doc. no.- 10000000390, part & version
Assigned for required source file copy" ZGA doc. type. -- Default Appl. as "DOX" workstation application.
Now created a DIR with ZGA doc. type, when clicking on originals , DOX prompted and clicking on "create with template" . TMP doc. 10000000390 template open in a new window. I edited & saved. close the MS word window. When comes to DIR, it prompted, Original was changed Do you want to save the original?.
clicked on yes.
Saved the ZGA DIR. When I saw the new ZGA DIR created it didn't capture. Where I went wrong ?

Dear Ravindra,
By going this below link, it seems we can use template for creating ne wdocument & attach the same.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/Templates-Document+Management
Following messages if you read, it may be clear.
By having templates in place we can utilize the pre-defined documents instead creating right from scratch.
Entries can be done in the Template and save the document.
Templates are used for standardization and uniformity. By using templates time consumption for creation of documents will reduce as most of the details are maintained in the master template and the same can be utilize by using the template when creating documents.
If in DMS editing functionality is not there what is the use of templates- documentation?

Sai Krishna

Hi DMS Gurus and SAPIENS,
Welcome to New Year 2009, Wish you all and your family a Very Happy Prosperous, Peacefull, and sucessfull New Year 2009.
Like we all know any Word document in a PC or System can also be searched by giving the known Words in the file as the search criteria.
why there is any 3rd Party software required to avail this feature, that too in DMS which mainly deals with external Documents.
will be more happy if this can be achived with SAP-DMS standard funtionality or configuration.
if Like the TREX server has to be Integrated with DMS Server as a stand alone server?
will this be Completely Taken care by Basis or Functional involvement is required.
Please Clarify.

Making change in original application file for new version

Hi
I am new to DMS.
I have a basic query about versioning of DIR.
I have created a DIR with status in Released.
I have attached a original application to the DIR. Now when I am creating a new version of DIR, original application file is also getting copied to the new version which is desired.
My problem is I want to make changes into original application file in new version of DIR and want to save. But I am unable to do so. It is not allowing me to change the original application file for new version which is desired for storing some ISO documents.
Is there any settings which I am missing?
Waiting for reply ASAP.
Thanks and Regards,
Niraj Sikligar

Hi
If you want to make changes in the "Release" Status, go to dc10, select Doc type and define status screen. Do not put "S" (Lock mode) for Status - Release
Also please check in new version , you are clicking on Edit symbol in Orginals tab, if u double click the file, it would open always in display mode , and it wont allow you to make any changes

Original application file name

hello,
is it possible to view original application file name while searching document (attached file name not document name)?
is it possible.currently i am not using EasyDMS.
points will be awarded,be sure.
thx in advance..

Hi,
maybe it is possible to create a special classification characteristic which includes the original file name. This file name is normally stored in table DMS_PHIO2FILE. Here you will find the original file path and name.
You can also use report DMS_KPRO_READ. Here you can also enter document data and you will receive all necessary data on the attached originals as PHIO ID, LOIO ID and filenames.
Hope this information is usefull and don't forget to reward points
Best regards,
Christoph

Original application file with extension .flc not opening

hi,
I have got an requirement from my end user for DMS. He operates a software named FLOW LOGIC CONTROL, from there he generates a document with extension .flc.
I am able to check in the docuemnt in DIR, but when I try to access the same through DIR, it does not open.
I have defined work station application as FLC with file format as .flc and application (path and programme name) as %AUTO% for Define work station application in network in customizing.
Do I need to define application other then %AUTO% ? If so what it will be?
I have tried to open same file through DIR on the desktop where the software is running, but there also I could not open original application file.
Kindly help me resolving the issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Niraj Sikligar

Hi NIraj
The filed which I mentioned to You mentions the Path of the application which is used to display or change the Original Alpplication file.
example.
If you want to change or display Word document that you have checked in the content server, when you say display the system find the path where this Program ( eg. WINWORD.Exe ) .
eg Path C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.exe
Check in your PC this Path.Whenever you open a word document it uses this path for winword.exe to process word document.
So in your case the program may be installed in your PC or on some anather Computer.If its on your local machine the Mention * %AUTO%
If 2D or 3D Document mention it as suggested earlier reply.( I Think in your case a Engineering document is getting generated.And it must be 2D or 3D doucment. ).
If your program in on anather machine then give path name of that program.
Please press F1 in the field * Path with program Name * to check the help for possible entries.This will help you to solve the problem.
Hope this helps you
With regards

Using a URL as the original application file in DMS/KPRO

DMS and KPRO
Has anyone had any experience with creating a DIR that points to a document stored on another server via a URL. Such that the original document is not physically checked into the DMS vault. When I enter the URL as the orginal application file the DMS checks the file into the vault and the URL is lost. Is there possibly a better way to try and reference the URL so that I can get to the document and utilize the functions/features I need from SAP?
Thank you for replying in advance.

Hello,
I've followed the thread because we have the same problem. We made all the suggested changes but unfortunately we were not able to add URLs as original applications. We received an error message - which does not say much: "E:26:504 com URL". After some debugging we found out, that the URL http://www.sap.com was treated as a file with the extension .com -> this resulted in the error message. We've made a number of screenshots, with all our customization settings. Can you tell us what to do to add URLs.

Edit original, photoshop file grayed out

I am running CS5.5.
I Just started a new project. I made a title in Photoshop CS5 I imported it into my Premiere project dropped it on the time line and it works. But when I tried to Edit Original the command is grayed out.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Dennis

I have re-phrased my response to make it NOT sound like having the suite is a requirement for the 'Edit in Adobe Photshop' option to appear.
If you have Photoshop stand-alone installed you will still get that option, in most cases. It just needs to be able to see that Photoshop has been installed. However, I've run tests where I had the suite installeld, installed a later version in addition to the newer suite version, and then upon choosing 'Edit in Adobe Photoshop', the file opend in that later standalone version of PrPro because the OS had changed the affilliation to that version upon install.
I know that there are also cases where the affilitation has been inadvertently set away from Photoshop altogether. Knowing that the user has installed the suite (or both standalone prodcuts of the same version) virtually eliminates that possibility. But in this case, the user was just not seeing the menu item.
@ welchphoto... Perfectly understable mistake. I've done that too. I'm just glad it we could solve it quickly for you.

Deleted/edited original iPhoto files and photos import every time I connect

I think I may have done a bad thing...
I was moving photos from my computer to my external hard drive and deleted and edited some originals iPhoto files. Now, every time I connect my camera, every photo imports and it takes forever! Is there any way I reverse this or is this a lost cause?
Help, please!

Can you run that one by us again...
I was moving photos from my computer to my external hard drive and deleted and edited some originals iPhoto files.
How did you do this?
Now, every time I connect my camera, every photo imports and it takes forever!
Isn't that what you want to happen?

Reverse what?

InDesign v 3.0 -- Linked files & Edit Original command problems

I am running InDesign v 3.0 and Photoshop CS5 on a new Mac Pro. When I use the Links pallet, after having selected a linked image with the black arrow, and choose "Edit Original", the image file will open in Apple Preview, rather than in Photoshop CS5. How do I specify it to open in PSCS5? Also, the "Update Link" menu is always greyed out so I cannot select it. Thanks!

In the Finder, select the image type you want to open in Photoshop (TIFF, JPEG, etc.). Choose File > Info. In the Open With section, choose Photoshop CS5 from the list of applications. Click Change All.

Why no 'Edit Original' with raw or dng files?

Is there a reason Lightroom does not allow the ability to use an external editor on the original raw/dng file? Why force people to use the Capture NX raw converter if they would like to use their camera specific converter instead?

This is a great point. There are many instances where I need to use a camera manufacturer's conversion software because I am unable to get similar results in Lightroom (Still a problem in LR3 - many posts about this in these forums).
I was going to write about a tip for a workaround, but instead I actually uncovered a very unfortunate behavior in LR3.
Previously, in LR2.x, you could drag any thumbnail from the Grid view onto the app of your choice in the dock. It would immediately open the original file (including RAW images) in that editor, and you could then save a Tiff to be re-imported into LR, or whatever you wanted to do. It was great flexibility, and got around having the formal ability to assign an external editor for RAW files (which by the way I agree, is necessary functionality, and should be included).
NOW, in LR3, this behavior has been shut down. You can no longer drag thumbnails from the grid view onto an external editor.
Adobe Lightroom team - this is a huge mistake. Please restore the old functionality. You should know - trying as hard as you do, your RAW rendering is still not the only game in town. I own your product, along with five other RAW editing applications. Sometimes I need to try each one to see how a particular image works out. I still prefer to use Lightroom as my cataloging software. This will change if you start to close things down to force users to stay in your ecosystem.
Apple Aperture takes a similar approach - when you drag an image onto an application, you only open a jpeg preview of that image, not the original RAW file. This is one of the reasons I ditched Aperture and moved to Lightroom. I liked the flexibility. Now that this has been taken away, it gives me another reason to consider passing on this upgrade. Please give this some thought. You do not have all the answers for RAW rendering, and realistically, unless camera manufacturers standardize, you probably never will. Give us back our flexibility, or better yet, build it in formally as the original poster suggested.

Edit original command inactive for c4d files in after effects

Hi, I created some c4d files in After Effects CC (Mac) yesterday. Today I wanted to edit the files using the "edit original" command. But it's inactive (grayed out).
I tried several times, reloaded the After Effects and Mac. But it's still not working.
Does anybody know how to fix it? Please help!

Yes, I'm sure I'm using the correct workflow by selecting the c4d in project panel and choosing Edit -> Edit Original. It's always inactive - you can see below.
Also read through the resources and checked the software - it's up to date.
My applications information:
One other strange thing that I noticed — all c4d files do not have the proper icons as I see in tutorials. The sons for some c4d files are just white pages, for others — black exec screen:
Do you know why it is so? Could you please help me to fix these issues?

Edit original for linked file

Why does Illustrator take me to Preview instead of Photoshop when I go to Edit Original for a linked Photoshop file?

This is actually controlled by the Mac OS, and easily corrected by doing a CMD I on any file, and changing the application for Open With.
In this example I have set all my .psd files to open in Photoshop CS4.
A useful keyboard shortcut for edit original: hollow arrow tool double click on a linked image on your canvas.

Do I violate Adboe Macromedia license if I develop a independent desktop application allowing open/edit/save psd file right in my own developed application? (support psd file version is up to CS4).
thanks and regards

No we do not have an open source code for reading .folio files. You can read .folio file in Adobe Content Viewer and in your customer viewer app.
