> case my computer crashed, what do I do to backup
You should backup the dreamweaver "site definition" so you
could quickly
define this site in dw again.
dw menu-->Site-->Manage Sites
select this site from list
click Export
Save the .ste file. Move it to some other drive/media.
You should backup the site's assets, the actual files used in
the site which
are in this site's Local Site Folder
If unsure of where these are- go to
dw menu-->Site-->Manage Sites
select this site from list
click Edit
click Advanced tab to find things quicker.
In Local Site information, what's the path listed for "Local
Site Folder"?
Go there. copy that folder and back it up.
Also- if there are any original files such as artwork or such
that are not
within the local site folder, back those up.
Also Also- If your site has a feature such as a "control
panel" or CPanel,
log into it and look for a Backup icon.
Depending on your hosting's features- explore the options.
If it's CPanel on linux/apache, suggest you do this:
a FULL backup.
a Home Directory backup
a Database MySQL backup (if you are using it)
an email forwarder or filter backup (if using)
(again, if your hosting has this) these .tar.gz files stored
on your machine
or backup media will allow you to quickly restore your site
to this host or
almost any other host using CPanel. And even if can't restore
with a single
upload- the .tar.gz files can be extracted/expanded to
recover any single
file that was on the site at the time the backup was created.

How to backup to OSX server sitting in a different network?

Hi, i have a mac mini with 3 TB of external hard drive running on a diffrent network range. I want a couple of users to backup their data on their machine to the mac mini server which is running the time machine backup server. How do i achieve this?

Are you getting an error? The way you have it set up, you can have an error and it will never be displayed. Put and error control on your front panel and see what it gives you. Also, shared variables in a project can be useful. Look at some examples for that.

How to browse an interested portal site?

Gurus:
I use an example to explain my intention:
Say that I have found a good sim file at this URL:
https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700005.sim
Now I wonder if I can find other good stuff in
https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/*
I have tried to make some good guesses and also tried a wild card, but yield no findings.
So is there any way to look into the entire content under
https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/?
Thanks a lot!

- FL1.1 can play SWF pulished as Flash 4 and earlier.
- FL2.x can play SWF published as Flash 7 and earlier.
if you use third-party swf making tool, such as SwishMax, the
SWF will work, but you cannot use fscommand2 in it. such as
FullScreen.
for FL2.x, not all Flash 7 features are supported.
hope it helps,

How to make automatic backups of NW Portal systems?

Hi All,
We have SAP CRM, ECC and NW Portal using MaxDB databases.
For DB Backups and monitoring, we are using Database Studio.
But in this DatabaseStudio, we have no calendar and no automatic backups is possible. In SAP ECC and CRM, we can access the tcode DB13 which give us acces to the DBA Planning Calendar.
Connecting on ECC or CRM backends, we can then plan automatic backups.
But for Portal I dont' find how to use a calendar for automatic backups.
I saw that in DB13, you can select the system you want to backup. Would it be possible to add the Portal and to manage all systems, including portal, in on single backend point? If yes, how can I add portal system / db to this DB13 menu?
If not, do you know if there is any other way to have automatic backups of NW Portal? Or any external tool we can use for doing this?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Xavier Monnet.

You can put any database in DBACOCKPIT and schedule centrally using DB13C.
> If not, do you know if there is any other way to have automatic backups of NW Portal? Or any external tool we can use for doing this?
For bigger production environments I'd suggest getting an external backup too and schedule everything centrally.
Be aware that especially in a Java environment (such as a portal) it's not enough to just backup the database, you have to backup the filesystem content at the same time to be able to restore your system in case of a failure. If you have just the database backup this won't help.

How can we transfer product attributes from an already existing site? We have thousands of items and it would be tedious to do them one at a time. Is this possible through a CSV?

How can we transfer product attributes from an already existing site? We have thousands of items and it would be tedious to do them one at a time. Is this possible through a CSV?

There are two parts to this:
1) It may be that you should have an Apple Education Support person helping you with this. If you have enough computers for this to be a problem, you may benefit from a Server, a site license, and an occasional visit from an Education Support Specialist.
2) The brief answer, if you want Individual Apple_IDs to control each computer, is to buy new copies of Mac OS X under those new Apple_IDs and re-download and re-Install. Mac OS X is customized to the Apple_ID before it is downloaded.

Help on how to import static HTML web site in Portal v2

Hi I am new to Portal and I would like to know if there is a way to upload an entire static HTML Web site (pages and images) into Portal (v2) or do I have to re-create each pages one by one.
Thanks for your time,
Louis-Martin Rivard
Covansys Canada

Louis,
Static HTML pages cannot be mapped to Portal pages. The Portal page concept revolves around
providing a customizable container for content, rather than a HTML page which contains text
and images.
I am assuming that your website has the following structure
/htdocs
/sitennn
/pages
/subsite1
/subsite2...etc
/images
/scripts
You need to upload the zip file as an item and then unzip the zip file. When you unzip the file,
Portal will create the folders and populate them. So, if you have a root HTML file called
index.html, then you can access it as http://<server.domain>/pls/<dad>/docs/folder/<sitennnn>/pages/index.html
Assuming you have specified relative links, all images/content should show up correctly.
Once again, I would like to suggest that unless we are talking a 100+ pages and megabytes of
content, consider recreating/redesigning your website using Portal Pages, instead of upload and unzip. You will have to spend some resources (time, people) and redesign, but it will
pay off in the long run.
hth
ps: Next time, could you please provide the Portal version and platform. It helps a lot, while
trying to come up with a soltion
I read and try to upload a zip file in Portal but the only thing I found is how to upload a single web page in a page group. Can you direct me on how to upload the entire web site?
Thanks for you help, the documentation is very poor...

Failed to restore site collection from development server backup on production server

I get an error as below while restoring development site collection backup on production site collection.
<nativehr>0x80070003</nativehr>
Looked into the log file shows below error.
"Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Schema version of backup 15.0.4641.1000 does not match current schema version 15.0.4569.1000"
However SP1 version installed on both server. Recently upgraded Development environment to 15.0.4571.1502 as production environment has exact same version. Run SharePoint Products Config Wizard successfully after upgrade on Development server.
Any help.
Thanks

Hi Trevor
Thanks for reply.
I am beginner in share point.
Getting below version in Development and Production Environment.
In the beginning
Dev environment has 15.0.4615.1001. Then we installed 15.0.4571.1502.
Production Environment has 15.0.4569.1506. Then we installed 15.0.4571.1502.
So now both versions looks exactly same. But somewhere it didn't upgraded fully. Backup and Restore works in the same server If applied but doesn't
work if I apply from Dev to Production Version.

How do I list product details using check boxes to save having to write the same info over and o

Hi there
First of all
Happy New Year and I hope everyone is well all the best for the future
Now...... back to the point
What I want to do is........
I am making a jewelry ... necklace... shopping site for my girlfriend.... well.... my wife in two weeks.... This site has been a loooong time coming.... I am still not happy with it so it still not public.... but is working ok She very upset it taking more than a year.... but I am still learning and I always want it better
Anyway
I have hundreds of Necklace details to enter..... i thought it would be easy but it is very tmie consuming...... So ...
The necklaces are made from different kinds of stones.... turquoise .. agate ... and about a hundred more different kinds of stones
In my add product form I have a field for entering product details..... to enter the different kinds of stones the necklaces are made from..... sometimes more than twenty for one necklace..... So what I want to do is have check boxes... or radio boxes to choose what stones to add to the description..... So I can have a list of about fifty different kinds of stones all with a check box next to them so that when you choose a box that stone name would appear in the product description
Sounds easy but I can't figure out how to do it.....
I think I need a different table in my database a 'stone_neck' field to store all the stone names.... about 50 fields..... .... with an id field and a name field and maybe a display field ....... I think
Does that sound correct.......?
If so then how do I display the details in a field in a table in my product detail page? I think I need a recordset on my detail page that gets all the stone names.... but how do I display the names of the stones that I have checked in the addprod form ? Do I need to put all every one of the stone info from the bindings panel? and then show region if .......
i am confused
If anyone has any ideas it would be great
Have a great day

Maybe you can take tips by visiting sites of prominent jewelry brands like Tiffany to get some ideas of how to structure your product list details.
Just a thought.

How can I publish just ONE site

Everytime I create a new site and publish it to a folder (to place in my own domain) iWeb publishes ALL of the sites every time, no matter whether changes have been made to any site or not.
How do I publish just ONE site?
If I get mobile.me, will I be able to publish just the ONE site I wish to publish?
Phil

I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

Can't access online backup and sharing web site

Does anyone know how to access the Online Backup and Sharing web site from a computer that does not have the O/B/S software installed? I used to be able to go to My Verizon/My Services/Internet and hit "Launch" for O/B/S, and the link would go directly to the web site for uploading or downloading material. Now, that link takes me to a Verizon page that asks to activate the O/B/S service, and wants to download the software. My O/B/S service was activated years ago and has worked until recently without the software installed. There is no other obvious way to get to the O/B/S web site. (If it matters, I tried this in both IE 9, with Windows 7 64-bit, and Safari.)
After some effort, I got the help number for the outside vendor that runs the O/B/S service. They say that the Verizon web site should link directly to their O/B/S web site, regardless of whether or not the O/B/S software is installed locally, but that the failure to do so is entirely an error of Verizon's on the Verizon web site and they have nothing to do with it. They also said there is no way to bypass the Verizon web site to get to a Verizon O/B/S account on their web site. They said they have received many complaints about this from Verizon O/B/S customers, and that the same problem has even arisen when the O/B/S software is installed on the local computer.
So does anyone know if it is really necessary to install the O/B/S software on any computer used to access O/B/S, and if it is now impossible to access the material from any other computer? That would be a major reduction in the usefulness of the service that was not announced anywhere that I know of. I saw a strong of comments on this issue in the Forums from a few years ago, but the conclusion was that the problem had been fixed. It seems to have arisen again.

Anthony, I tried to private message you several times, but I kept getting an error message stating that my message had invalid HTML that was being removed, and to resend. It did not actually have any HTML, and hitting the resend button just led to the same message.
Also, since my last post, I downloaded the OBS software onto my computer. This gave me access to OBS from that computer. However, even after doing this, I cannot use the old method of directly getting to the OBS web site from My Verizon. The link from "Launch" does not work either on the computer with the OBS software or on any other computer. Rather, the link goes only to the Verizon page saying that my OBS service has not been activated (which it surely has been) and asking to download the OBS software.
If this is happening to everyone and not just to me, this means that material stored on OBS is only available from a computer that has the OBS software downloaded on it. That is certainly not supposed to be the case, and it would make OBS much less useful.
Again, the OBS technical people said that this was a problem that they knew about, but it was entirely a problem with the Verizon web site that they could not do anything about.

How do I manually recreate the site definition (.ste) for an existing site?

My iMac hard drive recently failed and had to be replaced.
Though I had backed up my web site files, I don't have a backup of the site's Site Management (*.ste) file.
Thus, I'm unable to manage this site in Dreamweaver (reinstalled on the new hard drive).
In some forum threads, there are references to "manually recreating the site definition." How do I do this?
Thanks!

paintwlight wrote the following:
Does Putting the site to the remote server constitute an Export, whereby a .ste file would have been created during the Put process and, therefore, exist on the remote server?
No. Hit F1 and search for Export.
If so, I assume that if I copy the .ste file currently on the remote server and save it locally (into Library:Application Support:Adobe:Common:9:Sites:Site Prefs), all will be well and Dreamweaver will once again be able to manage the site.
DW can manage the site after you have defined the site as mentioned
earlier. It does not need the .ste files at all. Those are created by
the user via the Export feature and are not used by DW itself.
Gosh, I wish I would have known about the .ste file before my hard drive died. This seems like way too much responsibility to put on one teeny tiny little file -- especially one that's not kept with the rest of the web site files.
The .ste file contains only the paths to your site and the login
information - if you choose to include that information. It does not
contain any of the actual files. DW does not act as a backup or archival
program. You need to keep backups of your entire site (including source
files used to create the site, such as Photoshop/Fireworks layered
images, Flash .fla files, etc...) as well as backups of the .ste files.

Production Portal is not starting...

Hello All,
I have a very serious problem with my production portal. Every after 2-3 days, the portal doesn't start properlly in the morning, It shows page can not be displayed. The only thing we can do for this is to restart the server.
Can somebody please tell me what could be the problem and how to resolve this issue permanently. Also tell me where do I check for the logs that had generated at the time this issue happened.
We are not using much roles and iviews. We just have 5-6 webdynpro applications which are running on our portal.
We are on EP 7.00 SP9 and we use hostname and not the IP address to access portal.

Hi Vaishali,
I have checked the Default Log file and found some error messages. Can somebody please check and tell me the reason of portal misbehaviour.
