File Activity Timeout

I am working on a php website in dreamweaver and every time I
make any edit change the file activity dialog pops up and then
times out. Now, my server is offline right now but I'm not working
on the server. I'm working on my local copy. Here is my setup:
Local windows workstation:
Remote apache/php/mysql via ftp
Test = same server
I just want to edit some files, I don't want to connect to
the database, don't want to make any database changes or map to any
database fields. I just want to edit some text and get some work
done while the server is down.
Why does Dreamweaver need to talk to the server every time I
edit text or insert a field? This is absolutely terrible. I can't
do anything. It takes forever to do just one thing?
Besides, the big selling point of dreamweaver 8 is that the
file activity is supposed to happen in the background. This is not
true. The file activity locks up dreamweaver until it times out or
until I click on close.
Is there a fix for this?
I should have just stayed with Dreamweaver MX 2004 as there
is really no benefit to upgrading. What a waste.

Have you tried it out with AIR 3.2?
thanks,
Ignacio

The Background File Activity Window Is Annoying. Any tips on removing?

So, I just started using Dreamweaver CC after having been on hiatus from the program for nearly a decade. I have to say, most of the things I hated it for, and stopped using it because of, have been corrected. Kudos, Adobe, for fixing what was everyone's least favorite program in the suite.
Anywho, all that said, I am still annoyed on a very VERY regular basis by the program issuing an extremely pesky pop-up window anytime I attempt to Put files to my Remote or Testing server. I took a screenshot of the nasty bugger and have attached it here. The Background File Activity window closes when the Put action results in no errors or warnings. That's fine, but EVERY SINGLE TIME I put an HTML file that has references to external files (**so ya know like ANY HTML FILE EVER**), the window stays up and requires me to take action on closing it. THIS IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING. The error message displayed in the window doesn't even seem to be accurate (- error occurred - Access denied. The file may not exist locally, may be open in another program, or there could be a local permission problem), because it DOES put the HTML file in question. Perhaps the worst characteristic of this window is that is floats above everything else on my desktop. That means if I want to do a local>remote sync or just upload a bigger bunch of files, and then jump back into Photoshop to keep working on assets in there, I eventually am interrupted by this window popping up. This thing is worse than my cat trying to lay on my hands when I'm typing.
So, if anyone has any suggestions on how to turn this frustrating dialogue off, I would be very grateful.
My system specs are: Yosemite (Mac OS 10.10.1) and Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 (15.0.0.6947).

its not FTP information, the site is defined as Local
Network. I have a drive
lets say M:\ mapped to \\machine\webroot or whatever and then
point my DW8 site
to M:\webroot
It can synchronize all it wants, all day long for all I
care...... just lose
the focus so I can switch windows??? You don't name something
'background' file
activity when its in your face and causing nothing to respond
appropriately in
the 'foreground' lol.

How do I turn off background ni file activity when not using Labview? files such as nimxs.exe, nipalsm.exe, nipalsm.exe, nisvcloc.exe, nicitdl5.exe

How do I turn off background ni file activity when not using Labview? I use labview rarely, and I also use my computer for demanding multimedia applications, including multitrack digital audio recording. I need to reduce as much background activity as possible, and taking a look with task manager I see files such as nimxs.exe, nipalsm.exe, nipalsm.exe, nisvcloc.exe, and nicitdl5.exe running even when I haven't used Labview (8 I believe). These files run even after I right click the NI icon on the lower right and turn off the application. I would like the computer to boot up without these files, and for the necessary files to be activated only when I start the program.
Can this be done or do I have to remove labview from the system to improve performance?
Thanks

Hello, those processes are part of running NI services that start when Windows boots. These processes serve varied purposes and stopping them can have undefined and unknown consiquences for your NI products. These products run at "normal" priority meaning that they should be preempted by any process running at a higher priority which I would expect your other application to be doing given their time sensitivity. That being said, in Windows XP (I can't speak for other OSes), you can lower their priorities even greater through task manager (right click the process»set priority) to further remove them from contention for resources. If you want to prevent them from running you can set the service startup type to "manual" in Control Panel»Administrative Tools»Services. Right click the process go to Properties and Under the General tab choose Startup Type»Manual. This will start up the processes only when something directly starts it up. LabVIEW will start these processes up as it attempts to use them. When you shut down LabVIEW you will need to manually shut down these processes through task manager. Again, doing this can cause problems with your NI products on your system and it is not advised.

Role updation during Flat File Active Sync

Hi
I have defined a role which assigns default values to some attributes for a particular resource.
And this role am assigning it to the user in the Flat File Active Sync form during user creation.
But the problem is the attribute-values defined in the Role are not getting updated in the user data during the creation process. The next time there is an update, the values get reflected.
I want this to be reflected during the first creation process itself. Please let me know what changes needs to be done in the following code -
<Field name='accounts[Lighthouse].roles'>
<Expansion>
<filterdup>
<appendAll>
<ref>accounts[Lighthouse].roles</ref>
<s>Initial-Provision-Role</s>
</appendAll>
</filterdup>
</Expansion>
</Field>
This is done after assigning the user to the resources.
Please help asap
Thanks
Bushra

no....what i mean is that instead of using the user forms to set all the values, call a workflow instead. I believe the field in the configuration is called "process workflow" or something like that. this will be called instead of the forms. inside that workflow create a view, or get the existing view...set the new role....refresh the view...then call the create/update/delete user etc.
a create view is s provisioning task...so you cant call it from a workflow. take the "provisioning task" part out of the header of the create user workflow and it should work just fine.
this may be much more complicated than what you actually need. Its just the way i would handle it. I dont like using the user forms and always call a workflow instead. gives me much more flexibility

Flat File Active Sync - Notify admin incase of data processing errors

Dear Friends,
We have couple of Requirements to use OOTB flat file active sync adapter
1. To read data from a flat file and update the records in Sun Identity Manager system
2. Notify admin if there are any data processing errors while reading data from a flat file. The data processing errors can occur if there is an invalid data. for example, lets say the input flat file has 3 columns defined, but the file conatins records which has four values.
firstname,lastname,email
testfirst,testlast,[email protected],12345
Req#1 is working fine. There are no issues with that.
Req#2: if the file contains invalid data, i noticed that the active sync adapter throws an Array Index out of bound exception. so, we need to send an email notification to the admin whenever data processing errors occurs.
I noticed that whenever the data processing exception occurs, the active sync adapter stops processing records and the active sync input form was not triggered. Unless active sync form was triggered, it's very difficult to determine whether the data was read successfully or not.
Please let me know if there are any configurations/customizations to me made on OOTB flat file active sync adapter to handle data processing errors and send email notifications to administrators.
Appreciate your help
Thanks
Vijay

Hi,
We have same requirement that
"Notify admin if there are any data processing errors from a flat file.
The data processing errors can occur if there is an invalid data or account is locked etc..."
In short notify admin if any error logged in Active sync Log file while active sync runs.
Yes,I noticed same that whenever the data processing exception occurs, the active sync adapter stops processing records and the active sync input form was not triggered. Unless active sync form was triggered, it's very difficult to go ahead to meet the requirement.
Please let me know if there are any configurations/customizations to me made on flat file active sync adapter to send email notifications to administrators.
Thanks,
Sudheer

What happened to the file activity window indicator?

In Dreamweaver CS5 and earlier versions when I would upload my files to my web server the file activity window would show the progress as the bits uploaded. Now in CS6 the bits aren't showing... only the overall progress. This is a drag when I'm uploading a large file and can't monitor the progress. The progress bar doesn't really show you as a large file is uploading. Is this a new change or can it be restored to how it use to be somehow?
Thanks,
BC

I found the answer to this problem at this link:
http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/06/ftp-improvement-in-dreamweaver-cs6.html
Seems the activity window has in fact changed in CS6. To see the progress you hold your cursor over the file you are transferring.
Not sold on DW CS6 so far to be honest...

Excel File Activity.XLS for P6 - Where to find.

I'm looking for the Excel File Activity.XLS which can be used in import Activity Data from Excel to P6. My searches have come up with nothing - ive used the code Solution ID: prim4617
And I do have a maintenance agreement - just looking for a quick download.
Cheers for any pointers.

If you have a maintenance agreement, you can contact Oracle support. They should be able to point you to the solution ID in the Knowledgebase. In any case, the solution ID is 893887.1. Good luck!AMA, I believe the solution you quoted above is for the P3.1 files. For P6 see "How To Import And Export Project Management Activity Data To Excel [ID 903308.1]".

Set default for background file activity

Does anyone know how to have Dreamweaver 8 have the
Background File Activity to default to
always show details"
? I know it seems like a little thing but I always have to try
to get to the arrow to click it to show Details and when there are
just a few files, it's nearly impossible to get there quickly
enough.
I thought that perhaps DW8 might remember the last setting
but that doesn't appear to be the case. My system is running
Windows XP Pro SP2 with IE 7..
Thank you,
Stretchr

Done! I hope that they listen to our suggestions. I am still
more than a bit wary of how this product will fare now that Adobe
owns it but maybe I'll be surprised.
Cheers,
Stretchr

Background File Activity Hangs

I've about had it with Dreamweaver because of this one single
problem. If I restart my system and open Dreamweaver, I can work
for a few minutes or an hour, or a few seconds, or a whole day, but
at some point along the way, guaranteed, Background File Activity
hangs during a PUT function or a Save (automatically put) function
and the resulting file on the server corrupts itself and reads a
zero length.
This is particularly annoying because it screws up my site's
styling...GRRRRR.

Just guessing here (I haven't experienced this), but does it help to rebuild your site cache? Site->Recreate Site Cache
Or, commonly these days, follow the steps for removing a corrupted cache file here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/417116
Note that it may take some time to rebuild the cache if you have a lot of files in your site(s). Perhaps longer if the local files are on a different computer (LAN).

Print file activity error

Hey, i'm trying to use a Print File activity in my runbook, but i get error. The message says "Error while printing the file. Syntax error in a file name, folder name or volume label". Just it, nothing i can use for further troubleshooting.
My runbook consists of Generate Random Text, Append Line and Print File activities. Filepath is c:\temp\test.txt.
I would be grateful for any advice, because I couldn't find answer on technet library or anywhere in the internet.

Hi,
you are running it with Runbook Tester. Is the filepath available on the system where you run Runbook Tester?

Can't upload file - FTP error - file activity incomplete

I'm totally new to Dreamweaver and websites - trying to pick
up and run with a voluntary organisation's website. I have the
public_html folder on my PC. I have set up the 'New Site' within
Dreamweaver; made changes to the index.htm and have tried numerous
ways of 'putting file to the remote site'.
I get the error message as above - FTP error - file activity
incomplete re this 1 file called index.htm.
I have no idea how to trouble shoot this - used a colleague
who successfully uploaded a sample index1.htm, yet when I tried I
couldn't do anything; used my website host technical support but
they don't know Dreamweaver and although they tried various ways
they couldn't help.
Please, is there anyone who can throw some light of what
might be the problem?

Hi Eunice,
In your site definition in DW, you set up the FTP parameters.
In the
Advanced tab, check the following:
Access: FTP
FTP Host: Enter the URL of the server, without any
http:// or www
or subdirectories (i.e. just servername.domain )
Host directory: /public_html/
Login: Use your username that you created the site with
Password: Use your password for that account
Select the "Save" and the "Use Passive FTP" check boxes. Then
click "Test".
You should get a message saying "Macromedia Dreamweaver
connected to your
Web Server successfully."
If this doesn't work, then you need to double check your
login information
and your Internet connection.

That annoying "file activity" alert

what on earth is that "file activity" alert I always get now, whenever I go back to DW from having been on anoter app? this happens only on the mac, not on the pc at work... on the mac it didn't used to happen at the beginning, right after I had installed DW, about two months or so ago, but now I get it all the time, also whenever I click on the left, where the list of files is... how can I hide this PERMAMENTLY??
thank you...

Figures. I was looking through preferences but never even saw that little button in the left corner. I've just been clicking away from it in frustration all this time without even looking it over in depth. Thanks.

Flat File Active Sync Errors

Has anyone seen this error before:
[#|2007-10-13T18:18:31.571-0400|WARNING|sun-appserver-ee8.1|javax.enterprise.system.stream.err|_ThreadID=12;|
FATAL EXCEPTION (IDM): Unable to update task results due to fatal exception.|#]
It keeps popping up the in the app server every ten minutes (the polling interval configured in the FFAS is 10 minutes). Also it seems the only way we can get the activesync to start is on server startup we are never able to manually start or stop it...I think these two issues are related and that somehow somthing maybe got corrupted in the db maybe?? Has anyone encountered a similar problem. This is the flat file active sync on IDM 7.1 on Sun App server 8.1. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'm seeing this error with our active sync processes. They seem to be executing on both of our active sync back end servers. Don't know why. It is causing problems though. We are running IDM 7.1.1.7.
