IFS capability

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if this scenario is possible with IFS? Most of the examples is the developers guide show delivery to IFS as web URL's. We and outside (the database) app to pass static files to IFS for XML creation and transformation, and return the resulting data back to our custom app as a text file.
Scenario:
We are currently considering developing an interface engine using a VB front end for handling TCP/IP protocol traffic, ecapsulating HL7 messages into files and delivering the file to IFS for parsing.
Upon receiving the new file, we would then need to have an XML document created (in IFS) by querying the ORacle 8i (816)database to get results for the original message. Those results need to be encapsulated into a text file and made available to the VB app. We are considering taking this approach as opposed to having the VB app directly connect and query the database to due away with problems of state, connection overhead, and managing multiple threaded connections.
Can anyone tell me if IFS can handle this file passing scenario?

The best place to start is with the javadoc. The 'versioning objects' are Family, VersionSeries (VS) & VersionDescription (VD).
Start off with the example that you're versioning a Document (which is a subclass of a PublicObject). There will be one Family object and one VS. A future enhancement will support multiple VS per family. For each version, there will be one VD and one Doc.

MS Word "Save As" in iFS

Hello
I have following problem and I am seaching for a soulution or statement: We use iFS 9.0.1.0.1
I have create my own parser. The parser look for MS Word document (doc).
When I copy a MS Word document viva SMB anything is good.
When I open a MS Word document, witch is stored in iFS and the I say "SAVE" it look quit good, it's works (SMB).
BUT
When I open a MS Word document and I say SVAE AS into a iFS directory I get the answer "the filename is not correct"
My debugs says me, the constructor from my own parser it's calling 100 times(or more) and only the constructor is calling not my parser (inputstream) method.
What is my bug, or is that a feature ?
Ralf Flatau
My parser is quit simple, it is a modification of the parser from the documentation
Ralf Flatau

I have Adobe Acrobat 8.0 and Reader 8.0. In MS Word 2007, if I click Save As, I can select the file type as PDF. I do not know which program is allowing this (Word, Acrobat or Reader). When I select PDF, my Save As window changes slightly, giving me options, such as saving in Standard or Minimum size formatting (and no, minimum size formatting doesn't perform the way I need it to). I can also click on an Options button, which is where I can choose to remove the accessibility options as I mentioned previously.
So, sorry, I didn't know that Reader was not the program performing this. It must be Acrobat.
I'll rephrase my statement: I know a program that I'm using at the time I save a Word 2007 file as a PDF has the capability to save a PDF exactly as I need it.

Logging in ifs and renderering capabilities out of the box

Hello there
Just wondering if anybody could clarify/confirm a few things for me...
I'm currently trying to use 9ifs as a 'conversion' engine. I have an XML file within a 9ifs repository that I wish to transform using an xslt when I retrieve it.
Does 9ifs contain out of the box functionality to perform this? If so, how do I use it or do I need to write a custom renderer to perform the tasks that I have specified?
I have had a play with the SimpleXmlRenderer however have not been able to find any solid examples of how to use it nor do I know whether it is possible to use it to specify the xslt that will perform the transformation.
I have also heard that 9ifs has an inbuilt 'logging' capability - ie it can keep a record of files that have gone in to 9ifs or gone out. Is this also true and how would I use it?
Finally, I have heard that one of the capabilities of ifs is that it provides 'transactional' support in either putting files into the repository or taking files out - ie a file is either there or it is not, there is no in between, corrupt file state. Can anybody shed any light on this as to whether it is true or not?
Jason

The CMSDK does not include any out-of-the-box XML transformation capabilities, but it is very easy to code XML/XSLT transformations using Java, and I believe Internet Explorer has built-in support for it, so one could consider that built-in functionality. You could write your own servlet to perform any kind of transformation you wish on any file in the CMSDK, and serve up the resulting file via HTTP, for example.
The CMSDK is extensible and configurable in a way that could allow you to keep track of files uploaded and downloaded into the instance. You can write custom code and plug it into various extensibility points which allow you to modify default behavior or extend it to include custom operations. See the developer's guide and the javadoc for more details.
The CMSDK is a transactional object store -- it is true that files can be uploaded and modified within a transaction, and completely rolled back in case of failures.

Viewing and printing capability

Hello,
What are the viewwing and printing capability from iFS ? What printing format are suported ? Can I send multiple documents to a print server ?
Thanks, Marco Anzile from Switzerland.

The current version of iFS is not a print server. We are considering this for a future version.

Searching multi-media content in IFS

Is it possible to search multi-media content
in IFS? For example:
"Find all audio clips with a trumpet in it",
or - "Find all video clips with whales in it"??
Any help in answering this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,

(Hey, here's proof that I really do search the archives before posting. :-))
Moments ago, I was asked ...
Do you know if Oracle UCM has the capability to do speech recognition & transcription of audio and video files, and then make that transcription searchable?
So somebody checks in a piece of video, which presumably passes through FlipFactory on a refinery: can FlipFactory do anything fancy with the audio portion?
Likewise, if someone checks in an MP3 file, has anyone figured out how to get the content server to pass it through speech recognition and index the result?
My gut call would be to start out by passing, say, an MP3 file through some speech recognition software that produces an N%-accurate text file (before working with the content server). Then one approach would be to checkin in the MP3 & text file as the primary & alternate files respectively for a new content item: the content server would then index the alternate file, would it not? Another approach would be to create a folio of these two separate items.
Perhaps searching the recognized speech of a video clip could work in a similar fashion?
How did you solve this issue? :-)
Thanks!

Timestamps overwritten due to an administrative change to iFS

Hello:
We had a user who asked for write privileges to be added to her iFS account. When we made the change giving her write capability, every file currently existing in her project (under her ownership) was given the timestamp of when we made the privilege change. This gave our auditors a fit. Is there a way to prevent this -- timestamps being overwritten due to an administrative change to iFS?
Thanks,
Brian

Hello, Jack.
Thank you for the question. Once you update your payment information in iTunes for the expiration date change you should be able to renew the subscription to Netflix. The steps in the first article walk you through updating your payment information. Once this is done see the section labeled Managing auto-renewing subscriptions on a computer in the second article below.

Ifs design question

I am a newbie with a design type question.
I am storing gif files using ifs. I have to also maintain information on each gif, such as the name, date, type, classification, etc.
How can I tie the two together? Is there a way to make them one entity, or do I have to make them two separate objects and link them together somehow? Will this require more than out-of-the-box capability? (The end users will have to be able to input the name/date/type information each time they add a new .gif file.)
The end users will be using the webui.
Any ideas will be appreciated.

Basic file information, such as the file name, creation and modification dates are stored in the Internet File System out-of-the-box. Custom attributes, such as Type and Classification, would require you to subclass the Document type, add the attributes, and create a JSP or servlet with fields that will allow your users to input this information at runtime. From the end-user's perspective, this information will be stored "in" the file. In practice, the meta-data are stored separately from the content of the document itself, but that is hidden from your users (and largely handled for the developer via our API).
The process of subclassing the Document class and creating a JSP to edit and display custom file attributes is described in the Internet File System Developer's Guide.

How do I add multiple family members to eprint capability on my 8600 pro?

I dont know how to add my wife and son to the eprint capability on my 8600 pro, i tried adding them as seperate users under hp connected but it wont let you use the claim code more than once. Anyone have any ideas? I'm sure someone has done this before, any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks in advance

Hi AV55,
I think you misunderstood banhien's earlier post. Your wife would need to log into her ePrintCenter/HP Connected account and then add each family member as an authorized sender following the steps banhien posted.

I am using an epson artisan 835 printer wifi compatible is it also capable to use with my iPad? How do I set it up to print documents from my iPad?

I am using am Epson Artisan 835 printer, wifi compatible . Is it also capable to print (AirPrint) from my ipad? Where do I get an email address for my printer?

See here for Airprint-capable printers: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
Your printer isn't on the list but you may be able to print with Epson's app or other print apps from the App Store.

How do I add an e-mail address and capability to send a fill-in pdf file

I have Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2 on my PowerMac G4 running OS 10.4.11. I created some pdf forms which have the fill in capability and posted them on my web site. I want to be able to allow someone to click on a button to automatically send the file to my e-mail address. Is that possible if someone is just using Acrobat Reader on a Windows or Apple machine. I see that one cannot "save" the filled in document but they can "print" the filled in document or print a blank (not filled in version). If they could actually save the filled in document that would be just as good because they could attach it to an e-mail. So, is there a way to create a button to e-mail the filled in form to my e-mail address when someone completes it or a way to save the filled in copy as a file (so they can do that with just Acrobat Reader)? Thanks so much for any info.
Barry

>If they could actually save the filled in document that would be just as good because they could attach it to an e-mail
In Acrobat Pro, open the form and go to the Advanced menu and choose enable usage rights for Reader users.
Now, they will be able to fill out the form and save it to send it back to you in an email.
Be aware that there is a 500 use per form limit so this isn't a good answer for high volume use forms.

Need to find professional income tax preparation software, capable of handling 1065, 1120, 1041, 990, etc. preferably PPR compatible with Mac's OS

Need to find pro tax prep software compatible w/Macs. My software maker, Drake, does not have Mac version. I've checked Pro-Series (no) and maybe 1 other. I don't want to spend Lacert kind of $$ (neither do the majority of longtime Lacert users apparently). Obviously, no Turbo Tax, Tax Cut or any other commercial, deduction & crdit missing commercial software. They would ned to have the ability to 1) convert a few years of Drake to their program, 2) Covert files created on PC to files that 10 OS could use. Also, would like them to have reasonable PPR program, free efile, free unlimited states, capable of 1040, 1065, 1120, & (S), 1041, 990. Built in tax knowledge base. I'd be eternally indebted to you if you found sometghing as intuitive and value oriented as Drake but for OS 10. BEGINNING TO THINK APPLE bends over backwords for artistic tools but not so much business tools. Too bad, I've had a few tax returns that have bordered on art.
I will likely need to add Parallels & Windows 7 OS, preferably 64-bit to this Macbook Air. If so, I do not think I have sufficient memory or storage so would like to download & install onto NFTS (sp?) formatted 1TB HD. I do not know if hard drives, USB hubs, Optical drives etc. that work w/ Windows (as long as you choose correctly btwn SATA & IDE) will work on MacBook Air. Help greatly appreciated. So if you happen to know any pro tax prep software ompatible w/ OS 10 and/or, you could give me some info on what characteristics peripherals would need to have to use on MacBook (I'm hoping that most are inrterchanheable but my hoping ain't gonna make it so. OR if you know any great deals on Parallel-I saw some promos but not from reliable places. If I could find on Bradsdeals or Coupon Cabin I'd feel safe. I've seen an Apple ad for a bundle of software w/ some other decent parts (Snagit) . I'd love to find a promo that applies to the bundle and download all 9programs for $9.99 (right). Too many questions, sorry for any protocol violations. As you might have noticed, a keyboard is high on my agenda- I hate laptop keyboards though Apple's seems better than most. I also hate using scroll pads. Much rather have mouse. Real challenge is to find Bluetooth OS 10 keybrd that has numeric keypad. I wonder if the financial dept. @ apple uses keyboards w/ no numeric keypad, saw one that started at $99. I spent all the $$ I have on a MacBook, none leftover for overpriced peripherals, esp. w/ 2 kidfs going off to college in Sept.
Thanks for allowing me to whine & ramble. Feel free to call me on any breach of protocol as I am 1st time poster.
Thanks for your time and consideration, I HOPE I'M CORRECT IN MY GUT FEELING THAT I've joined the forces for good by switching. Too many PCs ruined by malware.

Bill I've also run into a very similar problem, I own many Macs but I've had a PC for Tax Stuff. My PC broke and I refused to buy another one so I began to search for an alternative. Window's Emulators have given me so much trouble with my Tax Software.
However, I've since found out that Intuit has a cloud based tax solution that works with a MAC because it's all done online. Which means you'll need a reliable internet connection whenever you want to prepare a client's return.
It's suppose to support all of the major returns (1040, 1041, 1065, 1120, 1120S and 990)
I've yet to use this solution, but it's the best thing that I've been able to find so far. This is what I'll be using this upcoming Tax Season.
So I figured that it would be worth mentioning. Good Luck!

Error in starting iFS from NT 4.0

Hi,
Im having difficulty in starting "ifsstart" and I am getting the following error message in the the ifsagent & ifsprotocol log files.
IfsException in starting ServerManager; FATAL
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-10620: Unable to construct connection pool
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-10633: Unable to create library connection
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-10600: Unable to construct library connection
java.sql.SQLException: Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-12705
Server Manager exiting.
Any ideas?

If you get an error like:
java.sql.SQLException: Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-xxxxx, it usually means that you can't even access the database at all. I think that you might no be able to use SQL*Plus at this point. Of course, you can't start iFS without having a connection to the database. This is what the error means.
