Linking to related content from WA document

Is there anyway create a related-content link to an FR document from within a WA dashboard, without having the link placed within a grid cell? I would ideally like to use a button, but the "Open Document" services button only allows me to link to another WA document, not FR.
I'm working in WA Studio on Hyperion System 9.
Appreciate any tips.
thanks!

You can use the "External Browser" service button there you have to paste the link of the FR report which can be copied from the workspace.

Migrating Publisher Database and related content from CMS in LSO

Dear Folks,
I am trying to migrate/move the published content from the existing server to a new server. My out come should be I should be play the same content through content player in the new server.
What is the process that is generally followed while moving content from server to server and how the publisher database details are moved?
Regards
S

Hey Hubert,
Still I am trying to get a break through, but looks like this is a technical data migration (BASIS). I was able to freeze on the respective tables. Btw the content is not SCORM or AICC compliant so the learning transactional data will not take a hit while I am moving.

Bullets which include links will prevent correct copy/paste content from word document to wiki page.

I have a word document around 20 pages which contains the following sentence (a bullet with two links):-
Now if I remove this sentence then copy/paste the 20 pages from word to wiki page they will be pasted correctly inside the wiki page , where all the pages, bullets, etc will be mapped correctly inside the wiki page as HTML tables, bullets ,etc.
But the problem if I kept the above sentence then the whole 20 pages will be pasted as plain text inside the wiki page.
So can anyone advice on this ?and how I can overcome it ?

Hi John,
You can try this (1) Save as Word Doc as single file web page (2) Open that file in normal text editor(notepad or so) and copy all (3) Goto Wiki page edit source and paste all (4) Save it
Let us know how it goes.
please 'Propose as answer' if it help you, also de-mark it if it didn't. Thank you!
the result will be as follow, not sure if this is a valid approach can you adivce ?:-

How to add a related content for a particular document in UCM

Hi All
How to add a related content for a particular document in UCM. On which table it stores all the related document details. Can anyone suggest me a document which helps me to know how to add related contents for a document
With thanks and regards
Anoop

I believe there is a PDF doc which comes with the component (it should be at your harddrive when you install it), which describes everything you will need.
In a nutshell, there are two types of relationship: sibling - sibling, parent - child (there are some more nuances, but it follows the same logic).
A relationship is created between two existing items (not sure, if you can also create a relationship for a new checked in item, but it would be just a usability). You select the type of relationship and the item - I believe depending on the relationship you may start from either item. The dialog to start is INFO (display metadata) or UPDATE (update metadata).
When a relationship is created you may watch it also from either end (again INFO is the starting point).
It is quite self-explanatory, so if you have the component installed you may just play around with it for a while and that is it.

Finding then combining content from several indesign documents in one document

Hi everyone,
I wonder if someone can help...
I'm trying to write scripts for indesign server which I want to:
a) search for,
b) pick out, then
c) put together content from one or many indesign documents into a template on the server starting at a pre-defined point in the template.
After that we produce a pdf of the document to pass on / do whatever. I've got so far with the scripting documentation but I'm stuck! This is what I've done so far:
1/ create a document template with a script
2/ add text elements to the document template (header and footnote, title,       body text i.e. intro and data, and the contact details)
3/ add text / content from another indesign file into this       document (so far only done it with a .txt file) ...
... I'm stuck on the indesign documents at the moment. I have       looked at various options, the most appropriate way I can see in       the manuals to get content from one document to another is by       duplicating. My understanding is to do this you have to target the text in the source       document, duplicate it and then add it into a text frame on the       target document. It's the targettting of the text and surrounding       elements in the source document I'm battling with.
any ideas on how I go about this effectively?
Any help and advice appreciated!

The story so far...
I've added the code kindly provided by getZinger (thanks again!) and am now stuck on the next stage, . I've commented the code where I'm having problems, and essentially have two key issues to resolve:
1/ how I get the documents to be placed one after the other, avoiding the overlay I get on the first insertion page.
   (I am using a fixed value as an insert point as the template I'm using will always have inserts starting on page 3).
2/ how I access the pdf's I want to insert from a location other than C:\Users\Whoever\Documents\
try{
for(myCounter = app.documents.length; myCounter > 0; myCounter--){
app.documents.item(myCounter-1).close (SaveOptions.no);
myDocument = app.open(File("C:/.../template.indd"));
myPDFFiles = ["pdf1.pdf","pdf2.pdf","pdf3.pdf"];
insertPdf();
function insertPdf(){
//I've gone for a static number here as the datapage in the skeleton doc is page 3.
//This seems to result in some of the pages being placed on top of each other :-(
    var myPage = myDocument.pages.item(2);
    /*var myPageNames = new Array;
    //Get the names of the pages in the document
    for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDocument.pages.length;myCounter++){
        myPageNames.push(myDocument.pages.item(myCounter).name);
    var myPDFSet = File("C:/Users/Simon/Desktop/Mexico.pdf");
    for(myIndex=0;myIndex<myPDFFiles.length;myIndex++){
    myPDFSet = File(myPDFFiles[myIndex])
    myPlacePDF(myDocument, myPage, myPDFSet);
    myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, new File("C:/.../test_insert.pdf"), false);
    myDocument.close(SaveOptions.no);
}catch(e) { myDocument.close(SaveOptions.no); }
function myPlacePDF(myDocument, myPage, myPDFSet){
var myPDFPage;
app.pdfPlacePreferences.pdfCrop = PDFCrop.cropMedia;
var myCounter = 1;
var myBreak = false;
while(myBreak == false){
if(myCounter > 1){
myPage = myDocument.pages.add(LocationOptions.after, myPage);
app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = myCounter;
//the files seem to be automatically placed from C:\Users\Whoever\Documents
//I need to change this to accept a different file path somehow but I don't know how
//this is why the myPDFFiles array only has filenames at the moment
myPDFPage = myPage.place(File(myPDFSet), [0,0])[0];
if(myCounter == 1){
var myFirstPage = myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber;
else{
if(myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber == myFirstPage){
myPage.remove();
myBreak = true;
myCounter = myCounter + 1;
once again, thanks for taking the time to read this, any help greatly appreciated :-)

Copy an Image from one document to another

Is there an easy way to copy a rectangle containing an image (not a link to an image) from one document to another?
Thanks.
Chris.

I can now copy-paste text frames and linked graphics from one document to another using snippets, but embedded images still don't work.
If I embed an image from a pdf file it works but not for jpeg images. When I open the new document (for which I placed the snippet) in InDesign, there is a frame (with a dark grey background and a diagonal cross) shown, but no contents. The place() method did not throw an exception. What am I doing wrong?
Chris.

Move a folder, sub-folders, and documents under that folder from one document library to another within a Workflow

Hello,
I'm building a workflow in SharePoint Designer 2010 (Unfortunately we are not on 13 yet), and in that workflow I need to move a folder (with all it's sub-folders and items) from one document library to another document library.
I tried a copy item but that kept failing, I checked content type, columns, and permission and it all looks good.
the other option I started looking into is to Create the folder in the document list and them move all the items under that folder to the new folder. However I can't figure out how to loop through each items in that folder.
Has this issue been addressed? or does someone has a solution.
I looked and searched and all I found was tutorials on moving single items into a folder, but not entire folders.
Thanks
Hani

Why to take pain in creating a workflow that copies folders, sub-folders and all of its contents from one document library to another.
Simply open your source and destination document library in Windows Explorer mode and start copying your folder, sub-folders and contents that you want to copy out of the box.
You will find "Open with Explorer" button under the Library tab on the ribbon of document library.

Link to Document Content Type issue - links not relative

I'm using the Link to Document content type in a library in order to link to documents in other libraries. We just migrated to 2010 from WSS 3.0 (2007) and are having an issue. We view our site internally thorough the internal machine address/name
and also have users connecting remotely from an external url. In 2007, it didn't matter whether we were internal or external, all links were apparently stored as relative because the "link to document" items worked fine either way. This
was despite entering the url fully and not relative. When viewing/editing the properties of that item, it shows you the full url applicable to where you are viewing it...internal if internal, external if external.
However, after the migration to 2010, all links that existed previously are fine, but any new items created using link to document apparently no longer store them as relative so either the internal or external users get the wrong link. For example,
if I put in the link as http://servername/library/doc the external users get that same link and it doesn't work, since it should be like https://myurl/library/doc. Viewing/editing the properties of the item shows an absolute url of whatever location
the item was added. For instance if I'm connected externally and add an item, even if i only enter it as relative, it creates the link as https://myurl/library/doc and then the internal users end up having to connect via that url and that is just a pain
due to AD and certificate issues. The internally created links are obviously not accessible at all from the outside.
I've also tried storing the link as relative when creating the item but it seems to overwrite it with the absolute link.
This is causing quite an issue with us. Does anyone have any insight as to what is going on and how to fix it?
thanks!

Hmm...I thought I had the thread set to email me if there were replies and I never received an email so I thought there were no replies. I came back to this since another issue cropped up that is related and there were replies!
I cannot recall how things were set up exactly in 2007 and there's no way to look back now. I'm a novice when it comes to AAM/DNS/IIS really. Maybe you can suggest what it should look like?
We have our site which is accessed internally by http://machinename . Externally, we use https://sharepoint.mydomain.com .
In AAM we have http://machinename listed in the default zone with the same url for internal and public. We also have https://sharepoint.mydomain.com listed, in the internet zone and it also has the same url for both internal and public.
In IIS, the sharepoint site has bindings for port 80 and 443, but nothing specific to https://sharepoint.mydomain.com
DNS....I'm not sure what should be here, if anything.
We can access the site just fine externally, there are just a few instances where some links do not work correctly and point to the internal url instead of external when you are external. The original post is one time and the other, found the other
day, is a search box webpart that points to a relative url for the results page but externally it ends up going to the internal url.
I'd appreciate any guidance. Thanks!

Output from Web Analysis Related Content will not Export to Excel

I have Web Analysis reports, data in which is sourced from an EIS database. I have drill thru reports that are accessible from "Related Content". The resulting report is created fine, but cannot be exported into Excel. Specifically, I'm prompted for the location of Excel on my pc. Once I browse to it, it will open in Excel.
I have upgraded from Office 10 to Office 12, although I cannot say for certain that is when this problem started occurring.
Secondly, there are no other BI+ issues with export to Excel. For example, FR and WA export fine. The ExcelPath in the webanalysis.properties file takes care of that. I'm hoping there is something similar to update for this problem.
Thanks for reading, hopefully someone else has encountered this and successfully resolved. BI+ version is 9.3.1.

Have you tried the print button in the web analyzer it does export the input filter parameters as part of the exported PDF document.
You can include any additional text elements and use a custom export template if required.

How do document permissions differ from its document library and a content roll-up webpart?

I have an excel spreadsheet (a group schedule), in a document folder, on a page that only IT management can see/access/edit, in a site that all IT group members have access to.
for example: http://IT Group site/IT Management Page/Schedule/2015.xlsx
On the group's homepage, I have a content roll-up web part that displays all document library contents in the group site.
IT management consists of 3 people. They can all edit the spreadsheet from the original location, but when they access the document from the content roll-up web part on the group's homepage, they cannot save any changes.
Accessing the file from here: http://IT Group site - content roll-up web part link "2015.xlsx" points to "IT Group site/IT Management Page/Schedule/2015.xlsx"
The error received says "'http://IT Group site/IT Management Page/Schedule/2015.xlsx' is read-only. To save a copy, click OK, then give the workbook a new name in the Save As dialog box."
Where would the permission issue be?
As the SharePoint site owner, I can access the file without any problems saving from either location. Also, I created an IT Management group that has full control over the IT Group site/IT Management Page, and full control over the IT Group site.
Thanks for any info you can share.
Stephanie

Thanks Cameron -
I have no special settings on the document library where the schedule is saved. No content approval necessary or different permissions. The library is set to open documents in client application, and check-in, check out is not activated.
I have logged in to one of their computers. They can access the spreadsheet directly from the document library and make changes freely, and save that version directly to the server, but not from any web parts. Just to test, I created a summary link web part
on the same page that lists the document library, created a link to the file, and the file opens, but they cannot save any changes without renaming the file. The only place they can truly edit the spreadsheet without renaming is from the document library
directly.

Xcelsius and relative cell in Excel from another document

Hi, gurus.
I have one question about Xcelsius opportunities. Can I use relative cells in Excel document, which as links to cell in another excel document. For example I have two Excel document. At first I use relative cell like this "='\job\[test_1.xlsx]List1'!$C$6", after them I imported file with this link to Xcelsius and I can see value from another document, when I work with Xcelsius only. When I view my result or exported in swf - I see that this value become 0, like empty cell.
Can I use relative cells in Xcelsius or it is them limitation?
Thanks in advance, Ruslan.
Edited by: Ruslan Latypov on Aug 10, 2011 11:15 AM

Thank you. I think so too. But I have no confirmation...
And I think this limit like limit for work with Excel Macros, because If we may use macros in another document, with work opportunity with relative cells we can get data with VBA scripts computing.

Repeating XML content from db and linked images

I'm using XML to flow content from a database into an ID CS2 pub. There will be an .ai file associated with each record which will be placed into a tagged inline frame in each repeating element. I would like to store the .ai files in their own directory and have a field in the database that references the path to each specific file for each particular record.
So...do I simply need to put a placeholder image in the layout and tag the path to the link with the same name as the db field referencing the image path? How do I tag the path to the linked image?
On a related note, I would also to include a symbol with certain records (there's a field in the db that's a "yes-no" checkbox--if this box is checked for any record, I would like the symbol to appear on the page with that record).
Hope I'm being clear here.
Thanks for the help.

Hello bshannon,
Thanks for your answer, I tried your suggestion but when I use URLDataSource I get the error message http 500 (in my original post I said that using URLDataSource the mail was sent but without the image... my mistake, I was getting this same error). I traced the error and I found that it is caused by a null pointer exception... let me explain
This is the code for the jsp that returns the image:
4        <jsp:useBean id="coverImage" class="com.mqm.struts.getImageAction" scope="session" />
5       <%
6           // Desired size of the image to return
7           int heigth = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("heigth"));
8          int width = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("width"));
9
10          // Each item can have up to 6 images (ordered by id), this indicates wich of one we have to return
11            int imageIndex = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("imageIndex"));
12        byte[] imgData = coverImage.getItemImageAction(request.getParameter("itemId"), request,heigth, width, imageIndex );
13        response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
14        OutputStream o = response.getOutputStream();
15         o.write(imgData);
16         o.flush();
17         out.clearBuffer();
18         o.close();
        %> getImageAction is my DAO class that actually reads the image data from the DB, when I use this 'getImage.jsp' inside any other jsp in the app it works, but when used as described in the first post the request parameter in the line 12 doesn't have the session info, apparently creates a new session or something and since I use information in the session to create the DAO factory I can't connect to the DB and get this error..
pls tell me if I explained my self or I'm just talking non sense
regards

Financial Reporting Related Content Link

Hi,
i developed some Financial Reporting reports using 9.3.1 version.
I've used the Related Content feature in order to obtain a link from a report to another.
The problem is due to the fact that the new report linked to the related content opens in a new different window respect to the source report.
I need to open the new report not in a new window but in a new frame (just a new tab in the worspace env.)
I want obtain the same effect that i have when i lauch a report in the workspace env. without open a different window.
Any idea of which parameters or setting needs to be manage in order to obtain this behaviour?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Stefano

Hi Stefano,
My related content opens in a new lower workspace tab on version 9.3.1. (9.3.1.0.0.248 in both IE and Firefox)
Can you give the exact version and perhaps the code, are you using the default code or inputting manually?
Here's an example of one of mine:
http://reporting.uk.foo.com:19000/workspace/index.jsp?module=tools.relatedcontent&repository_path=/Finance/Productivity/Pre%20-%20Chargeback%20Spend%20Trend%20Chart/CQW%20-%20Pre-Chargeback%20Spend%20Trend%20Chart_Alt&elementType=2&repository_name=CQW%20-%20Pre-Chargeback%20Spend%20Trend%20Chart_Alt&repository_format_id=html&run=1&sso_token=$SSO_TOKEN$&$CONTEXT$&rcp_version=$RCP_VERSION$&rcp_alias=$RCP_ALIAS$&mimetype=application/hyperion-reports-report
Hope this helps, Iain

How to display related links iview in content area?

Hi,
I have created Related links, but they are opening in a separate windows even though I have set the attribute of the iviews to "open in portal content area".
Please let me know how I can display the iviews of the Related links in the content area.
-Ashwini.

Hello Ashwini,
I don't think you have changed the property at the right place.
Open the iview for which related link is added. Now from the drop down box at the top right select Related Link. The related link editor will open which will show the related link iview. Select the iview and click the EDIT button at the bottom. The related link iview will open. Now Change the "Launch in new WIndow" property.
When you add an iview as reletd link to some other iview, a delta link is created and added to the iview.
This will solve ur problem.
Regards
Deb
