Get file metadata with Reader API

Hi
It is possible to retrieve the metadata of a file with the Reader API? How?
Thanks

My project was generated by the wizard, but when try to use the PDDocGetXAPMetadata function the project does not compile with this error: "'PDDocGetXAPMetadataSELPROTO' : undeclared identifier".
Any ideas?

XML cannot fully get all metadata with "getItemRequest"

Hi All,
My client is using GroupWise 7.0.3.
We want to get the dropdown list custom field data of document, but the XML file cannot fully record all corresponding custom field data by using "getItemRequest".
For example:
GroupWise Client - Document 1 :
Dropdown list custom field 1: aaa
Sub dropdown list custom field 1-1 of custom field 1: aab
Sub dropdown list custom field 1-2 of custom field 1: aac
Dropdown list custom field 2: bbb
Sub dropdown list custom field 2-1 of custom field 2: bbc
Sub dropdown list custom field 2-2 of custom field 2: bbd
Sub dropdown list custom field 2-3 of custom field 2: (Empty data)
XML recording - Document 1:
<custom type="String">
<field>custom field 1</field>
<value>aaa</value>
</custom>
<custom type="String">
<field>custom field 1-1</field>
<value>aab</value>
</custom>
<custom type="String">
<field>custom field 2-1</field>
<value>bbc</value>
</custom>
<custom type="Numeric">
<field>custom field 2-3</field>
<value>0</value>
</custom>
In my program, i just call "getItemRequest" and export the response to XML
Code:
WebReference.getItemRequest req = new WebReference.getItemRequest();
WebReference.getItemResponse resp;
string outPath = @"c:\GW\"
string FileName = filename.toString();
req.id = doc.ID;
req.view = "View";
resp = ws.getItemRequest(req);
if (0 == resp.status.code)
if (null != resp.item)
ObjectToXml(resp, outPath + FileName + ".xml");
Am i missing something or step?
Or what i need to do?
Could anyone to give me some suggestion?
Thank you very much.

Hi Preston,
But client doesn't update GW, therefore we will find another ways.
However, thank you for your advice.

You can try GW 2012.
There is little support for Document Management in the SOAP API.
When you try GW 2012 and you still have a problem, let me know.

Is it possible to create the adhoc network and get it work with WLAN APIs (WlanConnect) instead of netsh commands...?

Hi All,
I am facing issues in creating adhoc network in Windows 8.1. After searching in internet, I found that adhoc works with
netsh commands.
1. I have tried neths commands and able to get it work on windows 8.1,
but I want to do it through the WLAN APIs ie. WlanConnect ,
2. I am able to initiate the adhoc network(on Windows 8.1) by using WlanConnect API and other device are also able to connect to the Windows8.1 initiated adhoc network but the DHCP is not working.
-> clients are not able to get the IP address.
Is it possible to create the adhoc network and get it work with WLAN APIs (WlanConnect) instead of netsh commands...?
Thanks
akhil

Hi,
Did you mean to write a program to implement that creating adhoc via UI? This should be development issue.
But this is Windows 8.1 client forum and there is no professional on develop.
To help you better, I suggest you submit a new case on MSDN forum to help to check your code as they will be more professional on your issue:
This is the MSDN forum link.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

How to get cluster name with c++ API?

Hi everyone,
I want to get cluster name with c++ API, do you know how to do that?
Thanks very much!!!

Hi Robert,
For Java, we can get the cluster name like this:
cache.getCacheService.getCluster().getClusterName(),
for c++, just as you said, do you mean that i can try to get cluster name like this:
Sting::View name = cache->getCacheService()->getInfo()->getServiceName();
InvocationService::handle invocation = cast<InvocationService::handle>(CacheFactory::getService(name));
String clusterName = invocation->getInfo()->getServiceName();
But i can not get the right result.
I know little about how to use InvocationService, could you give me example?
Thanks very much!!!
GuangyinHi Guangyin,
I do not know the C++ API, I never used it, but what you wrote definitely does not look right.
InvocationService is a way to send arbitrary Java logic (you need to write both the Java logic and a C++ counterpart class, the C++ class will serialize itself with POF and the Java class will deserialize the same data appropriately) as a command to the cluster via the TCP*Extend connection and the command would execute on the proxy node and thus it would have access to the cluster itself.
You probably should start with the documentation of the Coherence*Extend C++ API documentation for samples.

I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section).

I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section or IRS.gov or credit card statements). I have uninstalled Reader XI, cleaned and reinstalled. I have no problem right-clicking and downloading and then viewing the files. No problem viewing acrobat files. I'm runnnig Windows 7, IE9. I can acces them through Chrome.

RESOLVED
I found two suspect programs that were installed within the last 48-hrs that may have caused the problem
1) - Libre Office - latest update. This is a fork of Open Office. (unlikely)
2) - ManyCam video manipulation software (likely)
Following info here, I opted to try to open an Adobe PDF file that was on my hard drive. When I did, it refused and IE10 gave me an ActiveX error (AHA!!). When I checked the installation of ManyCam, it had installed a version of DirectX that may have over-written the resident versions or disabled them somehow.
I uninstalled ManyCam but left Libre Office's update in place, then I ran a system restore from a point 24-hrs before the installations.
This resolved the problem 100%.
So, the suggestion here is that there may be one or more program in the wild that is interupting the ActiveX or DirectX systems. They may be running or installing an older version. In this case it appears the handlers were broken.
Once the system restore had completed I was able to open Adobe PDF files within my IE10 browser from the Internet as well as open PDF files from my hard drive.
Note that this same issue also clearned up a problem I was having with the Comodo Dragon web browser, which is a fork of the Chrome project. Once I eliminated the suspect program and ran the system restore all was well. In the instance of the Comodo browser it was unable to open or reach anything - dead white screen below the menu bar.
So my suggestion would be to take an inventory of recent program installations, remove/uninstall them, run system restore from a date before the suspect programs were added, and see what happens. In my case that fixed the problem.

List of file renditions with CIS API

Can anyone tell me how to get a list of file renditions with their related info (file type, file size, etc) through the CIS API? This would be similar to the web function
http://localhost/idc/idcplg?IdcService=RENDITION_INFO&dID=599&dDocName=EDAM000231
for example. I cannot find anything in the API that allows me to look up the renditions.

Dear Kirby, Thank you so much for your reply.
I'm familiar with Metadata. I've worked with Canto Cumulus and Filemaker.
I guess a more important question - where is the Faces data stored?
I'm looking to export a text version by file name, such as in a spreadsheet. Something like this
File Name     PhotoFile_01.jpg     PhotoFile_01.jpg     PhotoFile_03.jpg
Faces ID'd    Nina Totenburg        Carl Kasel               Tom Ashbrook
Faces ID'd    Carl Kasel                Peter Sagel
Faces ID'd    Terri Gross               Terri Gross              Nina Totenburg
Faces ID'd     Renee Montaigne    Tom Ashbrook
OR
File Name                    Face 1               Face 2          Face 3               Face 4

PhotoFile_03.jpg         Lisa Liu            Geena Davis
Anything that would identify the faces in a photo to a text file ....
Yes I understand that most of the IOS software is supposed to make it easier for the new and less techie user. But if you are going to create all these versions and mini files for the photos, why not make them accessible to a power user. I'm not a coder, but I've been using macs for 25 of my 40 years.
What gets me is that you go to the trouble of identifying all the Faces. What is Faces really supposed to help you with?
I mean Facebook is better at face recognition than this. Don't go on a tangent - about this - just sayin'.
Thanks for your time!

Can we resize swf file created with AIR API in AIR application?

Hi,
I created a .swf file with AIR API.
I want to open and resize it in AIR application. This .swf file taking dimensions as default in which it opens.
I want to change its width and height.
Is there any way to change its dimensions?
Please suggest me the solution.
thank you

Loading a Flex WindowedApplication into another is not supported. However,
you might be able to access the WindowedApplication and size it. Sub-Apps
in AIR should be based on Application, not WindowedApplication.

Getting file sharing with Avahi working...

I am trying to get files from another computer on my home network. I have set up the Kpf applet, and I can browse the files happily on the host computer. But when I try it on a different computer running KDE, I get this:
An error occurred while loading zeroconf://local/_http._tcp/(shared folder):
Unknown host (hostname).local
I am getting to it from the zeroconf:/ kio slave. Why isn't it working? I have avahi's daemons running...
EDIT: Ok I found out that the system trying to connect can't connect to a share of a folder on it. Maybe that's the problem? I can also connect to the share on system that's trying to connect. Also the system that's trying to connect is wireless with an ndiswrapper driver... I'm hoping that's not the problem.
I have searched around and found a howto on the Ubuntu Forums here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … ight=avahi
Which says to use vsftpd, which doesn't seem to be working for me (I think). Is there a way to test it?

It appears to be missing metadata. Since you are trying to get the schema, this is most likely a field that is required but not present (something silly, like labels). Try the following scripts posted below that verify metadata.
When creating solved level hierarchies, all of these dimensions require 4 special dimension attributes. All 4 of these dimension attributes require a level attribute to be mapped to a populated column in each of the solved hierarchies.
The 4 special attributes are:
GID
PARENT_GID
ET
PARENT_ET.
You can check if these attributes exist with the following query:
SELECT DA.OWNER,\n\
DA.DIMENSION_NAME,\n\
DA.ATTRIBUTE_NAME,\n\
NVL(DA.DISPLAY_NAME, DA.ATTRIBUTE_NAME),\n\
NVL(DA.DESCRIPTION, DA.ATTRIBUTE_NAME),\n\
(CASE WHEN D.DESCRIPTOR_VALUE = 'Long Description' THEN 4\n\
WHEN D.DESCRIPTOR_VALUE = 'Short Description' THEN 5\n\
WHEN D.DESCRIPTOR_VALUE = 'End Date' THEN 1\n\
WHEN D.DESCRIPTOR_VALUE = 'Time Span' THEN 2\n\
WHEN D.DESCRIPTOR_VALUE = 'Year Ago Period' THEN 3\n\
WHEN D.DESCRIPTOR_VALUE = 'Grouping ID' THEN 6\n\
WHEN D.DESCRIPTOR_VALUE = 'Parent Grouping ID' THEN 7\n\
WHEN D.DESCRIPTOR_VALUE = 'ET Key' THEN 8\n\
WHEN D.DESCRIPTOR_VALUE = 'Parent ET Key' THEN 9\n\
ELSE 0\n\
END)\n\
FROM ALL_OLAP2_DIM_ATTRIBUTES DA,\n\
all_olap2_entity_desc_uses edu,\n\
all_olap_descriptors d\n\
where\n\
DA.OWNER = EDU.ENTITY_OWNER (+)\n\
AND DA.DIMENSION_NAME = EDU.ENTITY_NAME (+)\n\
AND DA.ATTRIBUTE_NAME = EDU.CHILD_ENTITY_NAME (+)\n\
AND EDU.DESCRIPTOR_ID = D.DESCRIPTOR_ID (+)\n\
ORDER BY DA.OWNER, DA.DIMENSION_NAME, DA.ATTRIBUTE_NAME
For these 4 attributes, it's not enough that they just exist, (note you can name them whatever you want) but they also have to be marked as the appropriate type as per the above SQL.
Note also that the above SQL checks for other specially marked attributes such as Long/Short Description and End Date/Time Span. These attributes can exist without being marked as such (and can even be missing completely), and OLAP API will still function. However, I believe the OLAP API functions "better" if these attributes exist and are marked as special.
The below SQL will check your column mappings for all attributes. (As a general rule, you shouldn't have to worry too much about mapping any CWMLITE logical entity to a valid table/column, because the CWMLITE API should catch if you don't use a valid table/column.)
select owner,\n\
dimension_name,\n\
hierarchy_name,\n\
level_name,\n\
attribute_name,\n\
table_owner,\n\
table_name,\n\
column_name,\n\
(case when dtype = 'NUMBER' then 0\n\
when dtype = 'DOUBLE' then 5\n\
when dtype = 'FLOAT' then 4\n\
when dtype = 'DATE' then 7\n\
else 1 end)\n\
from\n\
all_olap2_dim_level_attr_maps\n\
ORDER BY OWNER, DIMENSION_NAME, HIERARCHY_NAME, ATTRIBUTE_NAME
Finally, note that any hierarchy which you map as coming from an AW will be a solved level hierarchy.

How get the metadata with intermedia?

Hi all,
In my application I record Microsoft Word documents into a blob column, but before record this file I need to verify the version of Microsoft Word who created this file.
Anyone can help me with this?
Tks,

interMedia can extract metadata from supported Image, Audio and Video files, but not from text documents such as Microsoft Word documents. See the Oracle Multimedia Reference (version 11g) or Oracle interMedia Reference (version 10g) for a list of supported formats.

Can an embedded Flash SWF save and get a variable with Reader?

My SWF content contains text in different languages. The user selects a language and it appears.
Is there a way to store this setting locally so that the correct language appears when the pdf is reopened?
I only need a two-letter string, like "EN," "FR," "ZH," etc. and the SWF does the rest.
I've tried calling multimedia_saveSettingsString from the SWF Actionscript, and I've tried setting an Acrobat global variable and setPersistent using Actionscript and local .js files. It works in Acrobat, but not Reader on a users system.
I also tried using a separate pdf form to store a global variable, and then attempted to get that variable using the SWF Actionscript.
Could the be an issue with security settings or Acrobat properties?
I'm not a virtuoso at this, so script examples would help.
(Windows 7; Actionscript 3; Acrobat 9 and XI are available; Adobe Reader 9 is in the installed base, but I may be able to switch to a higher version of Reader)
I asked a similar question in the Acrobat Javascript community, but got no responses. I reworded it here with additional detail
Thanks.

Here's the section from my example that's linked to the Save and Load buttons. evalText, infoText and replyText are the three TextArea fields.
Note that it's important to send a string, but return an object and cast it back into a string. EI.call() has no clue what's being sent back from JavaScript.
// button handlers
butSave.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doSave);
function doSave(e:MouseEvent):void {
    var rtn:Object = ExternalInterface.call("multimedia_saveSettingsString",evalText.text);
    if (rtn == null) {
        infoText.appendText("Save: REPLY = null");
    } else if (rtn.toString() == "") {
        infoText.appendText("Save: REPLY = empty string");
    } else replyText.appendText("Save: reply = " + rtn.toString());

Need file adapter polling with read operation to be triggered by a BPEL without using synchronous read

The scenario is:-
Web Service Client -->input-->BPEL-->if input valid-->trigger file adapter with read operation--> receive file
i am not able to stop the polling until it is required to trigger the polling.
As soon as i deploy the composite the file adapter starts polling without waiting for input.
Since i am using two receive activities, the second one which is suppose to receive file from file adapter is always showing pending state. (asynchronous callback)

Hi there,
IMHO the traditional read is used only as inbound operation, that means
that it starts polling the input folder as soon as the composite gets
deployed - which is the same you are experiencing.
In your case you need an outbound operation that needs to be invoked at
a certain moment. I don't know what are the reasons not to use sync
read, but this is the only outbound read operation supported by the
adapter. If you can not use the sync read, then you would have to design
some custom solution where you call a web service or EJB for instance
that reads the desired files.
Another option I can think of, though have not use personally is using
the adapters programatically in Java - take a look at this blog post as
it seems related to this topic -
https://technology.amis.nl/2012/01/22/using-the-oracle-weblogic-technology-adapters-with-custom-java-message-driven-bean-mdb-triggered-by-file-adapter-part-of-the-story/.

Lingo and file metadata

Hi,
is there any way to get file metadata into Director?
What I'm talking about is e.g. Quicktime Infos like Author,
Director, keywords,...; same with pictures and sound-files
By the way, I'm not too deep into metadata yet, so perhaps
I've already missed the point, so pleease give me a hint:-)

By default, Lightroom metadata is saved to the catalog file. For Camera Raw, Photoshop, and Adobe Bridge to view changes to Lightroom metadata, including Develop module adjustment settings, metadata changes must be saved to XMP in Lightroom. When you save metadata to a raw file, the changes are saved in an XMP sidecar file. With other file types, the metadata is saved in the file itself.
For more information on Medata & XMP please check the following help link.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/lightroom/using/WS638E3AC9-A04C-4445-A0D3-F7D8BA5CDE37.html
Hope this help.
