Local check out

I am investigating the use of RoboSource Control 3.1 with
RoboHelp 7 HTML. The online Help says that local checkout is
available, which doesn't post any changes to the database until the
file is checked in. From within RoboHelp 7, how do I specify that I
want the checkout to be local? When I do a checkout now, it appears
to be posting changes to the database before the file is checked in
because if I do Get Latest as another user I see the changes even
though the file is still checked out. I would like to be able to
get the latest version of the RoboHelp project files without
including changes to any files that are currently checked
out.

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
First, since the TFS 2012.4 and VS 2012.4 have been released for a while, I'd like to suggest you upgrade your TFS 2012 and VS 2012 to the latest version for better experience.
And as far as I know, when we add new projects or files to a solution, they're supposed to be pending changes. There is a "+" before these new added files:
When you check in, please right click the solution, and then check in the entire solution. All files in this solution should be checked in to TFS. See the following screenshot:

Checked out files

We are using RoboHelp 8 with just RoboSource Control 3.1 as our only version control applicaiton. They are being used on workstations with Windows XP pro.
We have a problem that I was unable to find in any of the previous posts.
We have two editors that edit the content of our online manuals. They have local copies of the projects that have been added to Source Control from RoboHelp to Source Control initially. both users have the same path for their local copies. Each has their own user id to open Source Control. There is a third user who publishes the content to our website as a quality control measure.
Our problem is keeping files from being published. We often have multiple topics being edited for different lengths of time. For example topics 1, 2 & 3 may all be in draft mode while topic 4 is edited and ready to be published. We do not want the edits to 1, 2 & 3 to be updated to source control so that when our publisher gets the latest version only the edits to topic 4 are published.
It was our understanding that files that remained checked out would not update source control. So, our first method was to create duplicate topics and made edits to those and keep those files checked out while checking in the remaining project files. However, they were automatically added to source control and therefore downloaded when our publisher got the latest version.
After researching a bit, we tried having our editors do a local check out only of those topics to be edited and not create any duplicate copy and not check them in until they were ready to be published. But the Source Control was still updated with any and all changes made to these topics.
The workaround we have tried now is to have the editors notify the publisher what topics are ready and then she "gets" just those files and compiles and publishes. But that seems like an awkward solution to a process that is supposed to allow us to edit and only publish what we need published.
Does anyone have a better solution? Is there a setting I have missed to keep these files from updating source control?
The second thing we noticed is that while Editor 1 has the files checked out locally - on her workstation, RSC has it checked out to her. When anyone else opens RSC, the file status is that Admin user has them checked out even though Editor 1 used her individual login to check them out.
I am confused because this is not how I thought Source Control is supposed to work.

As a test, can you try logging into one of the libraries with these files as an admin and seeing if you can take ownership of it via the document library settings. From here try checking it in again and advising what happens.

Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.

Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.
Summary :
We are using SharePoint 2010 Ent edition and users were able to checkout Pdf files similar to local drafts folder like any other office file without any problem when they used office 2010.
i.e
Unfortunately ever since their machines upgraded with office 2013 recently , this functionality completely stopped working for PDF files. This has now become a big problem for the users when it comes to check out and replace PDF files.
All browser plugins required for this functionality (i.e SharePoint OpenDocuments Class ) are all available and active. All document libraries are configured to Checkout is required for editing files. Browser version
used at the moment is IE9 (32 bit) version with windows 7.
Can anyone please help with this issue and any help to get away with this problem is much appreciated.

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the PDF files cannot be checked out to local drafts folder after Office 2013 is installed.
Did this issue occur with Office files?
I recommend to check if the Office files can be checked out to local drafts folder with Office 2013.
And it is recommended to use Office 2010 with SharePoint 2010 for best practice.
Thanks,

My local library uses a program called Overdrive Media Console to check out audiobooks. MP3 type books go to music on my iPod Nano, but I am unable to delete them because I tunes doesn't display them as content. What should I do? I need the space.

According to my library, I can download MP3 audio books to my Ipod Nano. The material is "checked out" to a program called Over Drive Media Console. and from there, it is transferred to my IPod. the audio doesnt go to Audi Books, it goes to Music. I want to delete some of the books I have listened to, but when I plug in the Ipod and open ITunes, the titles are not there. The manual says to connect to itunes, and delete a "song or other material" but since I did not use ITunes to get the
"song" to begin with, it isnt recognized. How can I get these audioboks off my IPOD? I am running out of space. I tried connecting to Overdrive, but the software doesnt recognize the internal content. It only sets it up for transfer.

The audio books do not display under the music sub-menu
And they shouldn't. They should be under the Books submenu that is further down the list from the Music submenu you are referring to.

One problem I'm having is find the perfect streaming settings for the movies. I did check them on a fast Windows machine and on a brand new Mac at the local CompUSA store. Things worked well on their very fast Internet connection but the longer concept video didn't seem to want to stream. I'm almost thinking to grab some JumpCut or YouTube code and insert it just to get it to work. I know this will put their logos in but I'm just not sure what to do.
One thing I'm aware of and something I did do on purpose is that I made the background images very large -- to accomodate those wealthy folks with the very big, very wide monitors. I wanted never to run out of background "virtual" world no matter how big one stretched the browser window. Also, the necessity to scroll was intentional. Let me know if this is too annoying.
Appreciate any expert helpful comments and feedback on improvements.
No I won't update to 10.4.9! Mac OS X (10.4.8) I said no!

Office 2013 vs SharePoint 2010 - Unable to check out documents to SharePoint drafts folder

My company is foisting Office 2013 on us without upgrading SharePoint 2010 Enterprise. One of the issues I have discovered since receiving Office 2013 is that SharePoint no longer provides the option to save checked out documents to my local drafts folder.
This is despite having Office set to save checked-out files to the server drafts location and the Office Document Cache Handler enabled in IE9. Is there a registry setting or something I can change that will re-enable this feature?

Hi Nellie,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to re-enable the add-on Office Document Cache Handler in IE9.
We can re-enable the add-on in IE9 using Group Policy:
Launch the Group Policy Editor.
Go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Security Features > Add-on Management >
Add-on List.
Set this policy to 'Enabled'.
In the Add-on List, add the CLSID of BHO (Browser Helper Object) (i.e.) {B4F3A835-0E21-4959-BA22-42B3008E02FF} as the ‘Value Name’ and 1 as the 'Value'.
Log out of the machine and log back in again for the setting to take effect.

How can i access my old correspondense with old password in Mozilla Thunderbird? How can i check out from my password?

I had my website moved to other hosting. Accordingly, i changed a password, and when i checked in on my computer the first time with a new password, i stupidly checked the box "remember me on this computer", but i lost access to all my old emails that were laying in Thunderbird on my PC. How can i check out from the current password and log in with the old one so that i could access my old correspondense?

'''Pop mail accounts '''can only access the server Inbox.
Messages are downloaded to your computer and stored in the Thunderbird Profile mail account.
Usually, the copy on the server is removed unless you select to 'leave messages on server' in Account Settings..
'Tools' > 'Account Settings' > 'Server Settings' for pop mail account.
These emails are stored on your computer and can be accessed in both 'online' and 'offline' mode.
You would need to make sure you periodically create a backup of these emails.
'''IMAP mail accounts '''see a remote view of any subscribed folder on the server.
Subscribed folders download headers only and when you select to read an email, it is retrieved from the server and stored in a temporary cache to faciltate quick access to reading.
These emails are not stored in your Thunderbird profile folders on your computer, so would not be visible if you changed to 'offline' mode. They are stored on the server.
If you did not synchronise those subscribed folders then a copy was never stored in your Thunderbird profile imap mail account.
As you have modified the IMAP mail account and it is currently accessing the new hosting server, so cannot display anything on a different server, I would leave it alone because it is working just fine.
What you could try is to create a new IMAP mail account with server settings to the old host server using the old password.
File > New > exisitng mail account
Enter name, email address and password
click on 'Continue'
If you do manage to get access, then synchronise the subscribed folders to get a copy downloaded to Thunderbird Profile folders. As those folders are constantly updating to match the server, once you have the emails downloaded, go into 'offline' mode and move them into 'Local Folders'; you will need to make new folders in Local Folders account for those emails.
However, it is possible that you may not get access as that contract has ended. There is no obligation for the old host company to keep your emails if you do not have an account with them. In which case those emails will be lost.
After creating new imap mail account, if you get access do as advised to get emails into Local Folders, once emails are in Local folders you can remove/delete the imap mail account. If it does not work, you can delete the imap mail account.

Why can't I check out a project?

I've got TFS 2013 Express installed on my desktop PC (an older HP Pavilion Elite desktop running Windows 8.1 Pro). Sometimes when I get into Visual Studio 2013, open up a solution and try to check out a project within the solution, with less than 100 files
in it, TFS never finishes checking out the project/files.
Why is that? What's going on and what can I do about it?
Rod

Hi Rod,
It would be better to let us know the detailed scenario and reproduce steps. When you work with TFS, you can edit your source code by Visual Studio after connecting to the team project in TFS. And you can change the source files in source control explorer
and it will be checked out automatically.
You can create a new workspace and then do a workspace mapping to get the source files to a new local path. And then try with the new workspace. If the issue persists, please elaborate more details with screenshots.

Problem to check out object in siebel 8.1, using Windows Vista

Hi people,
i'm quite new to siebel and recently, i am supposed to start developing applets and BCs. The problem is, i cant check out object from the server. whenever i hit the button Check Out, the system (Siebel 8.1) is hang and stop responding. Can anyone help me on this? Thank you so much.
Zaly#

Hi,
i've tried both ODBC, SSD Default instance and SSD Local Db default instance. Both yielded same result, which the connection is successful. But for SSD Default Instance, whenever i tried to hit the button 'Test Connect' for 2nd time or more, it will stop responding and hang. Only the first time is succesful.
I really dont have the idea how the problem occurs. but it works well if i do check out in computer that runs on window XP. Is the problem comes because i'm using vista?

Unable to Check-in and Check-out the documents

Hi All,
When I checkout files from share point, I am unable to locate them on my file system. I have T440S Windows 7 (64 bit ).<u5:p></u5:p>

Editing XMP metadata in Bridge for checked-out files?

Our custom connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability because we do not want to change the XMP of a file in our DAM system without checking in a new file version.
However, when a file is checked out through Adobe Drive, we would expect to be able to edit its XMP metadata in Bridge just like we can for local files.
It looks like this is still not possible with Adobe Drive 3, i.e. if your connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability you cannot edit XMP for checked out files either.
It seems weird that you can edit XMP metadata for checked out files with regular CS applications but not with Bridge. Is this something that is expected to be fixed in a future version?
Thanks

In our design, editing XMP data in Bridge and in regular CS applications is different, the former one will be routed to SetXMPHandler in you connector, in the latter case, CS applications take the normal file writting ways to embed XMP data in the file content.
The purpose of this design is to offer similar user experience for normal users when they edit XMP data for AD assets and local file assets, they don't need to check-out files first.
To address your issue, I think you can add some codes in SetXMPHandler to auto check-out files before real XMP operation, and check-in them before exiting the handler
We will consider to make some enhancements for this part, that's, to allow editng XMP data for the checked-out files in Br, in the next release, thanks for this advice.

"This document could not be checked out." SharePoint 2010 checkout action using IE8

I am setting up a two-server farm, and most everything works, except the checkout action for a document. This problem occurs in both site collections, one of which requires checkout, and the other does not.
Here are the options I've tried:
Snow Leopard, Firefox 3.0.1 - works
Snow Leopard, Safari - works
Win 2003, IE 7 - works
XP, Firefox - works
XP, IE 8 - "This document could not be checked out. You may not have permission to check out the document or it is already checked out or locked for editing by another user."
In IE8, I am able to open a document as read only then use the button presented by Word to check out the document. I cannot use that as a workaround, as not all users have a version of Office that will allow checkout in that way.
Checkin works fine. I need to resolve the checkout error.

I was having the same problem mentioned here. I noted that this problem only appears when I use the FQDN in the URL ex 'http://hostname.domain.com/default.aspx'. If I access the Sharepoint site using the URL 'http://hostname/default.aspx', then
I do not have any problems checking files in or out.
I ran into this same error pattern when trying to do a document edit (library is set to force a check out), or do a direct check out via the ribbon menu or item context menu. Oddly enough when we would use the 'Edit Properties' ribbon button (which forces
a check out) we did not get an error and the document's status would change to 'checked out'. Below are the two messages we would receive when trying to do a check out:
IE error message - "This document could not be checked out. You may not have permission to check out this document or it is already checked out or locked by another user." - Click OK
IE Error message - "The document could not be opened for editing. A Microsoft SharePoint Foundation compatible application could not be found to edit the document." - Click OK
After trying several different suggestions I realized that I wasn't having the problem when I was accessing the site locally via FQDN but only when I was using the Public Site URL (via https). Turns out we were getting the error because we did not have
an AAM currectly setup. Once I changed our AAM for the Internet zone with the Public URL value instead of the FQDN the error went away.
Hope this helps anyone else trying to track this down. Oh and this was SP2010 w/SP1 (Patch version 14.0.6106.5001) on Win2008 R2 with clients running both Win7 and WinXP using IE8.

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.

DW CS3 does not display confirmation dialog when checking out file

We have 3 developers set up with DW CS3 Version 9 build 3481.
When checking out a file that is already checked out one pc will
display a dialog box to confirm that you want to check-out the file
as it is already checked out by someone else. This is good as we
want this dialog to appear. However on the other 2 pc's there is no
dialog box displayed and the checkout process continues as if the
file was never checked out.
The text of the confirmation dialog box reads as such :
"index.cfm is checked out by first.lastname. Are you sure you want
to override his/her checkout?". I have been through the preferences
and verified that we have setup the sites in the same manner but we
still have this issue.
Is there a known bug regarding this feature? Is there a
preference setting somewhere that I have missed?
thanks

Are each of your developers sharing the same local site?
That's why you are
getting this error if they are. The proper setup would
involve THREE
locations:
1. Local sites (unique to each workstation)
2. Staging server (shared by all workstations)
3. Production server (the live site)
You would have TWO site definitions, which would be -
(for each workstation)
1. Local = #1 (unique location for each workstation)
2. Remote = #2
(for one MASTER workstation)
1. Local = #2
2. Remote = #3
Use the first site definition for day-to-day work and
checking files in/out.
Use the second site definition ONLY for pushing files from
the staging
server to the production server.
That's the only way it will work....

Can't check out one file individually

Hi
I am on Dreamweaver CS5 on PC and have this weird problem where when I click on an individual file on the "Remote Server" side of the file menu and then press the "Get" icon - Dreamweaver keeps asking me "Are you sure you want to check out the entire site?". The only available options at this point are Ok and Cancel.
Anybody experienced this problem before? I have no way of checking out individual files!
Cheers
Graham

Are you the only one working on this site? If so, you should disable the check-in/check-out option as it really has no benefit UNLESS you are working from several different locations and are concerned about version control.
Have you tried just double clicking on the local file instead of your procedure? That will always force the GET and CO of the remote file.
