Invalid URL for file reference

Hi,
I'm having a problem with a webdynpro application running from Portal 6 SP14. The application contains a link to a file sitting on a client machine. Whenever this file does not actually reside on the server machine, it generates this error:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDRuntimeException: Invalid URL=S:\SCA_IT\SCM Data\Projects SCM\Plant Maint\Portals Request- Sweden.doc
    at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.serverimpl.core.url.AbstractURLGenerator.checkURL(AbstractURLGenerator.java:566)
    at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.sal.url.core.URLGeneratorInternal.checkURL(URLGeneratorInternal.java:303)
    at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.uielib.standard.impl.LinkToURL.getReference(LinkToURL.java:206)
    at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientimpl.html.uielib.standard.uradapter.LinkToURLAdapter.getReference(LinkToURLAdapter.java:235)
    at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientimpl.html.renderer.uielements.ie6.LinkRenderer.render(LinkRenderer.java:45)
This file actually exists on my client machine, but it generates the error anyway. It does not happen with applications running on Portal 6 SP9. The new one seems to validate if the file exists on the server or not, and if not generates this error. Is there any way for me to validate this URL, or to allow the URL to point to the client machine instead of the server machine? Any help would be appreciated.

Some additional data I forgot to add:
I have tried to catch an invalid url in the code, but because there isn't an actual syntax error in the URL, it allows it through, and it seems to pass on the validation to the portal and that's where the error is generated.
try
               File doc = new File(docPath);
               URL docURL = doc.toURL();
               wdContext.currentContextElement().setValidURL(docURL.toString());
          catch(Exception e)
               wdContext.currentContextElement().setValidURL("");
I have also tried setting the URL with the original docpath, but with the same result.

Short of dismantling and recreating a page how do i find out whats causing [Error: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay]

Hi,
i received an indesign file to include in a folio that had links to the creators desktop where they had the assets for the web content overlay. When i try to update the folio i get the error message:
"Content generation error.
[Error: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay]"
Which is fair enough.
The problem is, i have gone through and changed all URLs that I can see, but there is one somewhere, that I just can't find.
Is there a way to get a list of all web content overlays in a particular file? otherwise i will need to recreate the whole page again, and it has some pretty complex interactions which i rather wouldn't do.
I also cannot ask the original doc creator to just change the links as i'm sure he'll have the same issues as me, at not being able to track down the erroneous link.
The problem I have with DPS is that its not very transparent. you'll have to click on everything, and into every group to see what actions are on it, which can be extremely time consuming and frustrating when complex interactions are included.
thanks in advance for any assistance

I’ve found watching the process helpful to narrow down the page.
Working off a duplicate of the file, delete one layer at a time until you figure out what layer the problem is on.
From there it’s a bit easier to narrow down.

Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay. Help?

I am doing a french tranlation to an existing folio app that someone else created.
There is one page in my folio that is comprised of garbage and a trash can. You touch the garbage and drag it into the trash, and things change, etc.
I have an index.html file and a bunch of other images.
I can't even successfully add the article to my folio, I get this warning: Content Generator Error. Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay.
Can you walk me through how to get this to work?
Attached is a screen shot of my file structure...

When you specify the .html file, all the content in that folder is uploaded automatically. Here's an article about Web Content overlays:

Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay, ERROR!!!!!!

Hello All,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this error, I was working on my indesign file and was testing it out locally, then I went on to upload my file and I got prompt to install a new version of the Folio panel which I did, now every time I try to upload my file I get this "ERROR: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay", I've searched around and have not come up with an answer. Not sure if its a bug on the new update or what. I tried some troubleshooting which this is what i did. I copied my first page of my document onto a different file and tried to upload one page and then i got the error but then I deleted the images and just left one text box and it uploaded my file without any issues, strange huh. Any ideas????

I was having the same problem with both hyperlinks and buttons in one particular file -- "Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay." It seems to only be a problem in files where I had a link or button previously, and then deleted the object. When I create a new object and create a link or button, it's as though the old link is still lingering somewhere in the file! However, none of the old links is listed in the hyperlinks panel before I create a new one.
This occurred while I was teaching a DPS class, using the Adobe courseware (sight unseen by any proofreader, I believe). In one of the exercise files, the steps for the student to create hyperlinks and buttons had already been done, so I deleted the hyperlinks. (I think I deleted the text frames that contained them, but I'm not sure.) I never had a problem with it UNTIL I downloaded the Overlay Creator/Folio Builder dated June 19 (v21, I think).
In the same file, I also had problems with a NAVTO link, . I don't think there were any NAVTO links in any earlier version of the file, at least none that I ever created or deleted.
I've coded HTML since the days when the only available tool was Notepad, so I'm sure that I used correct URLs (and none redirected). Even the URLs in the deleted objects were correct; I only deleted them so the exercise could be done again.

MP4 Video throwing error: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay

Converted a 15 second flv video to the following using Handbrake:
mp4
H.264 codec
"Placed" mp4 file into my article
Set Autoplay= On and 0.125s delay
Try to preview via InDesign a get the error: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay
Try to update my article via Folio Builder and I get the same error.

It seems that you "placed" your video into the frame selected as Web Content in Folio Overlays Panel.
Delete that frame.
Place (in the normal InDesign way, not"place") your mp4 file onto the page.
Adjust the size of the frame to your video measurements.
Look at the Folio Overlays Panel. Your placed file should appear ther as Video Overlay.
Set your options and you are done.

Drop-down Menu to Open URL for File Download

I am using Adobe Captivate 5.5 and was wondering if it is possible to create a drop-down menu that can be used to open different URLs for file downloads, kind of like the Attachments button Presenter has. Captivate seems to have a dropdown widget available but I can't tell if this would work for this purpose.

Hi Theo
You can use any composition to create a menu with setting for show target on rollover and then link targets to specific pages.

Why am I getting the flag Invalid URL for web content overlay when making scrolling panel in Indesig

Why am I getting the flag 'Invalid URL for web content overlay" when making scrolling panel in Indesign? Iam making additions to existing articles but the problem is new. The articles were originally made using CS and now I am on CC, which I have just uninstalled and re installed, no difference, can anyone help please? Steve

Hi Bob, thankyou very much for coming back on this. The flag is coming up towards the end of the preview process on desk top. I have made dozens if not hundreds on my two published apps on the app store, but have not done an update for nearly a year, in which time I have needed a refresher, and as usual went to Lynda. In this case I have followed to the letter your DPS course, which is great, and I found the process of making the scrolling panels somewhat easier than when I started 2-3years ago. Initially I was mystified that the flag talked about url and web content, but just put it down to something I had missed in recent improvements in CC.
I tried over and over, but always got the same result. I thought at one point it might be because the content of my slide was copy and photo, so for a test I deleted the photo. Same result, and many of my existing slides are copy and picture.
I also uninstalled Indesign CC and reinstalled in case of corrupted content, I also copied to IDML and relaunch, same problem. I am sure I have made the scrolling content as instructed, The one thing I havn't done is trash my preferences, if you think that would be a good Idea could you please direct me to some content at Lynda on how to do it in CC. Many thanks, Steve

Invalid URL for Facebook only

Hi there,
Since last night, every time i try to connect to www.facebook.com on my macbook the message "invalid URL" comes up and i can't reach my profile.
I thought it may have something to do with my internet provider but it works fine on my ipad...
I have tried with firefox, chrome and safari and all 3 come up with the same invalid message except that the reference starting with #9.54e0fc ends differently...
Any ideas on how i can fix that?
Thanks in advance !

my friend has recommend me to flush dns following this
How to Flush DNS in Mac OS X
If you are an Internet or web developer or do a fair amount of administrator tasks on your Mac, then the requirement to flush DNS cache will arise. Depending on what version of the OS is installed on your computer (Leopard vs Tiger), there will be a slightly different command to flush DNS.
Step 1 – If Mozilla Firefox is installed on your computer, exit the application if it is open.
Step 2 – Open the terminal on your computer.
Step 3 – On a computer running Lion (Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6, or 10.7) enter the following command followed by pressing the “return” key:
dscacheutil –flushcache
Step 4 – In Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, enter the following command followed by pressing the “return” key:
lookupd –flushcache
But everythime i reach step 4, it asks me for my password and my keyboard freezes so i cant type anything...lemme know if it works !

Portal URL for file v. text v. PL/SQL item types?

I am using Portal 10.1.2.2.0. From the Portal OWA logger data, how can I tell a file item type from a text item type from a PL/SQL item type?
The OWA_LOGGER_DOC view iis looking for url like '%/docs/%', but all the document URLs are '%/ITEM/%'. The URLs to text items also appear to be '%/ITEM/%'.
How can I tell that a Portal URL is pointing to a document?

OK, I figured out a way to do this in my environment (Oracle Portal Version: 10.1.2.0.2 (Build: 150) ). Your mileage may vary.
I created a procedure which includes the following:
    p_headingText IN VARCHAR2,
    p_fileName IN VARCHAR2,
    p_descriptionText IN VARCHAR2)
is
    l_portalGuid VARCHAR2(50);
begin
    select GUID into l_portalGuid from portal.wwv_things where ID = p_fileName;
    htp.p('<p class="PortletText1"><a href="http://[HOSTNAME]/pls/portal/url/item/' || l_portalGuid || '">' || p_headingText || '</a> ' || p_descriptionText || '</p>');
end;This seems to work for me. (Sorry about the long line.) p_headingText, p_filename, and p_description are passed from the custom item type. Good luck!

Invalid Url for Web Content Overlay

I am constantly getting this error when I try to upload a page with a web content overlay -- i even get thi smessage if i try to upload http://google.com.
sg

This link is likely being redirected, and redirects aren't allowed in Web Content overlays. For example, http://www.google.com will work, but http://google.com won't. Check the URL on a mobile device. A lot of sites get redirected to the mobile version: http://twitter.com becomes http://mobile.twitter.com.

Lync converts URL's containing & with %26 creating an invalid URL for use in Chrome.

I have a web app that uses the "&" character in the URL. If this URL is copy/pasted from a browser to Lync during an IM, Lync converts the URL to use %26 instead of & which does not work in Chrome. The link opens an empty page since the
app does not understand what to do with %26. Is there any way to stop Lync from converting the & characters to %26 in the URL?

Hi Lisa
I don't agree with your answer. The & character is part of the ASCII set and it is not an unsafe character. Actually, it is one of the reserved characters in URIs (see section 2.2 in RFC 3986). Here's the relevant quote from this RFC:
Percent-encoding a reserved character, or decoding a percent-encoded octet that corresponds to a reserved character, will change how the URI is interpreted by most applications. Thus, characters in the reserved set are protected from normalization
and are therefore safe to be used by scheme-specific and producer-specific algorithms for delimiting data subcomponents within a URI.
The & character is very often used in URLs, as it separates the GET parameters. E.g. if you search "GET parameter" in bing, the URL of the result page looks like this: http://www.bing.com/search?q=GET+parameter&go=Senden
Therefore it is very annoying that Lync does convert all &s to %26, which makes many URLs worthless.
Please check whether this bug is fixed in newer versions of Lync. I would also appreciate if this could be fixed in a bugfix release of Lync 2010, but I don't know whether you still do bugfixes for this version.
Best regards
Adrian

Need information for file type conversion from Oracle

Hi,
I need a scenario where there is third party tool which supports file types (.lnb (Link Notebook Chart),.anb(Analyst Notebook Analytical Chart),.anx(Analyst Notebook Exchange Chart),.tcv(Text Chart Visualisation))
I am having a Oracle database where I want to create a file from a Table so that the third party tool could understand
the file supported types.
Any help will be benefitial for me
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
If I use as:
DECLARE
fileHandler UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
BEGIN
fileHandler := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('test_dir', 'test_file.tcv', 'W');
UTL_FILE.PUTF(fileHandler, 'Writing TO a file\n');
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(fileHandler);
EXCEPTION
WHEN utl_file.invalid_path THEN
raise_application_error(-20000, 'ERROR: Invalid PATH FOR file.');
END;
If I use the file naming convention i.e extension type as .tcv will it support ?
Thanks and Regards

Invalid value for parameter error when value is in list of allowed parameters

I have some documents with a lot of paragraph styles that have been organized into groups. I have a simple script that is meant to ungroup these styles and delete the now-empty groups.
Code:
#target indesign
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
if (myDoc.paragraphStyleGroups.length > 0)
myDoc.paragraphStyleGroups.everyItem().paragraphStyles.everyItem().move(LocationOptions.AT_END, myDoc);
myDoc.paragraphStyleGroups.everyItem().remove();
alert("Done")
The error I receive is (emphasis mine):
JavaScript Error!
Error Number: 30477
Error String: Invalid value for parameter 'reference' of method 'move'. Expected ParagraphStyle, ParagraphStyleGroup, CharacterStyle, CharacterStyleGroup, CellStyle, CellStyleGroup, TableStyle, TableStyleGroup, Document or Application, but received Document.
As you can see, my pickle is that my value is of an allowed type. This only happens in some documents, and there's nothing that obviously distinguishes those documents from the ones in which it works.
One thing I've noticed is that the error sometimes takes a while to appear (a minute or so), but none of the styles have been moved once I click OK. So, I don't know if it's specific to one style. I doubt it, only because other documents with the same style set work.
Can anyone shed any light on what this error could mean in this context? I definitely have an activeDocument, so what could cause a Document to not be a Document?
Any help much appreciated!

Hi,
It occurs when 2 or more styles have the same name, probably.
