Improvements in Oracle SCM Check Out and Check In mechanism (better Oracle

Oracle SCM - the Software Configuration Manager provides the backend source code control services for Oracle Designer. It offers among other things functionality for Version Control: Check In, Check Out, Branching and Merging and it records Check In/Out notes, Version Labels and version events. In comparison with several other tools for version control, it has a few oddities or lacks some functionality that might have been very handy. It turns out that most of that functionality can be created fairly easy, with additional triggers on the Oracle SCM tables. I have demonstrated in a previous post how two of these additional pieces of functionality can be implemented: Building Check In protection into Oracle Designer/Oracle SCM - Check In only by the user that did the Check Out (http://technology.amis.nl/blog/index.php?p=784). I intend to write further articles to demonstrate implementations of all others enhancements listed in this post: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/index.php?p=799.
Please let me know - through comments on that Blog article - if you are interested in any of the mentioned enhancements.
best regards,
Lucas

The first query points to many threads where a similar question has been asked. You can change the query search words to get more hits.
If you are looking specifically for OM, it will also help if you network with some non-IT guys to understand how, in general, Order Management is used in various industries. You can talk to Order Entry clerks to understand order taking process (such as customer calls, they create a quote, customer approves, quote is turned into order), you can talk to Warehouse personnel to understand order shipping process (Such as order ship date nears, they run a report to find which orders need to ship in the next x days, they generate pick tickets to get material, they generate packing slips, generate invoices, shipping notices etc.)
Talk to some AR folks to understand credit processes and invoice /collection processes.
These folks don't have to use Oracle. What you are looking for a generic understanding of how the business /processes work.

MDM Record Check out and Check in from the Portal

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to figure out what is the standard way to trigger the Check out and Check in from the Portal.
How do I need to configure the MDM workflows and the Portal, so the standard Item Details iView would automatically check out the record when the Edit button is pressed.
Do I need to configure Guided Procedures or UWL on the Portal or can I avoid that?
Thanks for your help in advance,
Boris

Hi Boris,
When we connect MDM to a front end system like Portal,the portal will replicate all teh functionalities of the backend sytem from the front end as in this case in EP.
But when we maintain Master data form the MDM Data Manager we get a lot of options in the context menu ,when we right click a record in the record pane.
All of these cannot be made available on the portal,but however the feature of Checkout can be made possible if you try to update the record through a MDM workflow.
As in MDM workflow you have to option of Checking ou the record at the beginning of the Uddate and then checking in back at the completion of the record update.
For this you can use the MDM workflows and integrate it through EP using UWL.
Kindly refer some additional docs which will guide you in the configuration of the same:

Opening/Saving documents from SharePoint 2013 in Firefox/Chrome bypasses Check Out and Check In

My clients have an Office365 installation with SharePoint 2013.
When I navigate to the site in IE and click on a checked-in document, it opens in Microsoft Word with a message
Server document To modify this document you must check it out
with a Check Out button alongside.
However, if I navigate with Firefox or Chrome and click on the same link, it just downloads the document to the browser's default download location. If I then open the document in Word, there is no
Server document warning and it is entirely writeable and it's also lost its link to the document library.
Is the work-around for this that one cannot use Firefox or Chrome with SharePoint, or is there some setting in these browsers that will bypass the download and load the document directly into Word?
Thanks
Edward

Does anyone have a better fix for this? We are attempting to launch support for a second browser - Chrome - but because of the issue with Office 2010 on the clients, the protocol handler from Chrome fails to connect the requested document directly
to the MS Office app, but rather downloads the file. IE Tab is not an option because it then defeats the purpose of having Chrome altogether since it simply uses IE8's engine. IE8's performance with large lists on SharePoint 2013 as well as the
HTML5-based functionality is simply dreadful which is the primary driver for an alternative browser.
We are aware installing Office 2013 on a machine fixes it, but that is not an option due to the current licensing.
Hope for Chrome 31? Firefox seems to work fine in our testing, but the organization wants to go Chrome instead of FF.

How to enable multiple check-out and check-in for offline editing (sharepoint 2010)

I have a SharePoint site where I am using check-in check out feature for one of 'Project' document library.
By default SharePoint supports single document to be checkout for offline editing (when i click on checkout, SP ask for 'Use local draft option' for offline editing), if I select that check box, it take a local copy for offline editing in my 'SharePoint
Draft' folder.
but when I try to check-out multiple files from 'Project' document library, it does not show any form for confirmation, as shown above (use 'Local draft option') and files get checked out on server it self, but I didn't find any local copy in 'SharePoint
Draft' folder. mean sharepoint does not support multiple file check-out feature for offline editing.
Please suggest if we can check out multiple files for offline editing in sharepoint 2010.
Thanks

Sagar, Thanks for reply, but none of the link is useful.
These all links talk about the check-in check-out feature, but my issue is that, when I do select multiple files for checkout Draft’s dialog
box does not appear and offline copy of files is does not created. how to fix that issue.

Deactivate check-out and check-in request

The SAP-delivered process for maintaining a solution via a maintenance project is the following:
1. In the Solution Directory, select process structure element (business or interface scenario, business process, or process step).
2. Click "Request" button to request check out.
3. Click "Check out" button to approve request and check out process structure element to the Maintenance Project associated with the solution.
4. Complete the updates in the Maintenance Project associated with the solution.
5. From the Maintenance Project, request check-in to the solution.
6. In the Solution Directory, click "Check in" to check the updated process structure element back into the Solution Directory
We require neither the check-out request nor the check-in request steps for our solution. Is there a way to deactivate these?
Thanks in advance for your input,
Lori

I'm sure whether this is what you mean, but if you open you Solution by means of TC:SOLMAN_DIRECTORY and press once on the solution of your choice, you will see an overview of the properties of your solution.
If you then pick the middle tab on the right, you can set/unset the option for:
"Enable Check-out/Check-in of Solution Structure Elements".
That's it.

Possible problems with Check out and Open Component and delayed publishing

Hi,
I've experienced some seemingly wrong behaviors of the checkout and open component and also with the delayed publishing feature, I've listed it down :
1) The all important one:
We know we've delayed publishing features for content, if we set the Release Date metadata at a future date, the content will not be released immediately, but do we have a delayed publishing features for a website page. Through manage website the user can add / delete a page(section), may do include or exclude from navigation etc.. but can they set a future date when a particular page can be included in or excluded from navigation? This should be a standard feature for a WCM solution and I hope there is some solution for sure.
2) Can we set a datefield with a calendar feature as a page custom (section) property?
3) Again the issue with checkout and open component, only the user with admin privilege seems to be able to change the content, normal contributors cannot, cause every time is tries to check in with the old author name, so the user has to have admin privilege to assign a different doc author's name. No trace also who is making the changes.
4) Also facing a lot of problems while trying to implement when we use this checkout and open component. As we cannot check who is making the change there is to way to set us a step for self review, also user can only approve or reject but cannot edit the doc before passing it to the next step, if the step user is created using tokens then only checking out of the doc takes it pass the step user, but everything is working perfect with contributor data file. No problem whatsoever. Even if we use manual check out and then check in (i mean without using checkout and open component) this is working fine. But the main problem with non-technical users will be they would not like the content server portal at all and they would always prefer ms word over anything else. They would directly like to double-click on the website page, the word doc will pop up and they would make change and save.
Issue 1 and 4 are killer issues for us, I need your help to find a solution. I have few more issues that i will post later.

Nirmalya

Hey Shotdawq,
I was a bit low on bandwidth, so could not visit the forum any sooner.DIS is dynamic integration studio, it works on the webdav protocol.
you will need to install DIS on the client machines. The POC that i did was integration of SiteStudio with CheckOutAndOpenInNative.
I am also planning to referenc this functionality from WebSphere, what i have in my mind is to copy the java script from my sitestudio page and paste
it in the JSP, and then using the CIS or RIDC will execute the serverices. At present i am stuck in some other work, If i get this thing working i will
update you. In the meanwhile if you have some question for me, feel free to throw them.
cheers,

Can I get my Macbook Pro just checked out and tuned up at the genius bar?

I'm having a hard time getting my questions answered. Basically I've had my Macbook Pro for four and a half years, but it's still doing mostly fine. It's just showing it's age slightly I think, with more spinning wheels than usual and odd things like the date is usually set to 1999 when I turn the computer on, but it rights itself in a few minutes. Also most the time when I plug it in it says it's not charging and I have to try multiple times. None of this is a huge deal, it's just that I really need the computer to last me preferably at least another year, so I worry about it a bit. I do take good care of it though. I'm about to move out of the country for a year, so I'd like to get it just checked out and perhaps tuned up a bit so that any problems are taken care of and it's in the best shape before I move away. I'd like to make a genius bar appointment, but the closest Apple store is a two hour drive from my home, so I don't want to go into it not having any idea how much it will cost or if they'll even be able to do what I'm hoping in the span of a single workday. I really don't want to have to drive back later to pick it up or have it sent off somewhere to be repaired, although if it does have serious problems I'd be willing to do that. I'd just like to know going in to it what the price range is likely to be like. I don't want to make the drive to the Apple store and have them tell me it's going to be a few hundred dollars just to have my computer looked over. And I don't even know if they offer that service, let alone if they can do it in a single afternoon. I've tried calling the store and conversations with the automated person really are not helpful. He just tells me to go online and make a reservation, and I can't figure out how to get my questions about cost and service answered.
Also, am I being foolish hoping my four and a half year old Macbook will last at least another year or two? I have no idea what the "life expectancy" is for these things. I know nothing really about computers at all, so forgive my ignorance.
Any help and insight is very much appreciated.

The genius bar technicians can check your MBP for possible hardware problems and specific software issues that you may have. The diagnosis will be free. Any extensive repairs will not be free.
If you have minor software problems, you essentially will have to deal with them yourself. Examine these two comprehensive documents for possible problem definition and solutions. If you encounter problems that you are unable to cope with, start a new discussion and there will be persons willing to assist you in solving them.

How to hide check-in, check-out and publish buttons

hi,
i am new here and hope someone can help me:
users of a community can edit some content items. they can open these items with this link (from administrators guide for al interaction publisher 6.5 p. 10-28):
</pcs:value>/published_tools/content_item.jsp?&view=submit&ciid=<pcs:value expr="pcs_id"></pcs:value>" target="_blank"></a>
the link works, users can edit the items.
problem is, that i do not want to show the "publish button" to the users. the content item should be published automaticaly after the user clicks on "save". i also do not want users to see the check-in, check-out and preview buttons. they should just open a content item (+ simultaneously check-out), edit it and save it (+ simultaneously check-in and publish and close the content editor).
i thought this can be done by the "view" parameter, but nothing happens if i use it. any ideas?
thx
volker
Edited by: vhspec on 03.06.2009 00:58

Hi vhspec,
This is a common problem. A creative way to solve the problem is to point yourself to the description field of each input on a data entry template. When you have the need to make any dynamic changes to the entry templates simply drop some javascript into the description field of an input and write the appropriate javascript code to either hide buttons, change behaviour etc. When the data entry template is displayed to a user the javascript in the description field will be executed by the browsing. Fortunately publisher does not check the description fields or encode them so you can get away with a lot.
The only problem with this approach is while you are altering the UI the underlying data model will still allow users to publish. So if an unauthorised user saw fit, they could publish content.
Have you considered creating a workflow so that users in specific groups cannot publish? that way only a controller down the line would be able to approve and publish.

How can I use my iPad to check-in and check-out books to my students in my classroom?

How can I use my iPad to check-in and check-out books to my students in my classroom?

Assuming there won't be any wi-fi netwokrs, will there be cellular reception there?
If so, you need to check if a carrier or the carrier if there is only one, offers a data only plan for the iPad and similar devices along with providing a mico-SIM card. If a carrier offers a data only plan with a full size SIM card, you can cut the SIM card down to mico-SIM size. There are devices that provide for this.
If there is cellular reception but a carrier or the carrier doesn't have a data plan only for the iPad and similar devices but offers a tethering plan for phones on their network, you can tether your iPad to the cell phone for internet access via the carrier's cellular network.

I have windows 7 and my speakers worked then after update my speakers do not work and everything checked out and says they are working and that soundcard is working but no sound now.

My Check Out and Open is creating a new document!

Hi there,
As the subject say, my Check Out and Open is creating a new document with a new ID instead of making a new revision of the document.
It creates a new document starting the revision with the number 2! And if I make Check Out and Open of this, it creates a new document with the revision starting on 3.
I can´t get a list of revisions of a document... it creates allways a new one...
Can you explain me why? I really need to fix this.
Thank you,

Hi
Yes the behavior is normal and thats because COAO is doing 2 steps in one viz checking out a content and also opening it for Editing. So effectively you are combining these 2 actions into one. So the content is checked out and hence shows up in the My checked out content.
As for the DIS and COAO , I have not seen a way other than this of working , dont really know why this is the case but I haven't found out a way for making it work in a normal way. Once DIS (WEI) is uninstalled the COAO works normally as in a new revision for that content is checked in .
Hope this helps
Thanks
Srinath

Business process check-in/check-out - who has checked out and when?

We have been using the business process check-in/check-out functionality for 18 months and there are an increasing number of process's that have been checked out to the maintenance project and never checked in again. Is there a straight forward way in the system to see who had checked out a business process and when? When using the SOLMAN_DIRECTORY transaction it is easy to see which process's are checked out as they are marked the red OUT symbol and have check-out status = checked out - but no other information about the check-out seems to be available either in this transaction or on a separate report.

Hello Steve,
What Peter neglected to tell you is once you enable history on the Solution a history log will begin to populate.
It will show as the standard "Log" icon for HISTORY. Every change will be logged at each level of the structure.
Here is an example of a History log line....while it is not a check-in.out change it will give you an idea
Name Date Time Change Object Old Value New Value
I809573 24.01.2011 22:33:32 Process Availability Material Management 7 x 24 h
What you can do is filter the report on the values that will give you the check-in/check out against the objects you want to track.
This is how you can use the "Enable History" to get the information you are interested it.
Just two things to be aware of : 1) The history will not be retro active (unless it was already enabled), so it will start from the day you enable logging (history), and logs take up space, which at some point maintenance will likely be required, however I don't see these logs having high disk usuage.
If it were documents that you wanted a report on check-in/check-out for, you likely could use the transaction Solar_Eval under Documents, but there are no standard reports for this...and filtering the History log file accordingly is about the best reporting
that would give a result. This log file can be printed, or you could capture the printoutput to a file and there is your Electronic version of the report.
I hope this has helped.
Regards,
Paul

Why can't I check out and down load LR5?

Why can't I check out and down load LR5? Are the servers overwhelmed? Very frustrating!!!!!!!

I had the same problem yesterday trying to upgrade 4 to 5 - I ended up doing the upgrade over the telephone, where the "nice lady" said they were having a few server problems. I say "nice" but she downright annoyed me by trying every angle she could think of to flog me a full cloud subscription
