Moving InDesign files on a server that has stable INCX links

What concerns are there with moving InDesign files into different folders on a file server that has INCX files linked as Unassigned InCopy Content? The INCX file location would stay constant. Were are not planning on using assignments. Our editorial/art staff currently moves InDesign documents from folder to folder to indicate the status of a document in the editorial workflow. Im curious if we can still do this once we transition to an InCopy/InDeisign Live Edit workflow. Ive done some initial testing with positive results. The InDesign link to the INCX files seem to stay intact.
Any thoughts or concerns would be appreciated! -Mike

Cool, thanks for the info. Wonder how you found that little tid-bit of information, must have been some sort of experiment.
I once had a user work on a locally existing InDesign file for a few hours who wasn't in the habit of saving (since Indesign has such a great recovery feature.) Unfortunately, after a few hours of work, he went to finally save the document, but InDesign refused... couldn't even do a Save As. He called me down to his office in a panic since the document was still open. After a few minutes of checking InDesign logs on his Mac, I noticed a conflict in folder paths. I asked him if he moved the location of the InDesign document while the document was still open. He admitted that he probably did. After moving the InDesign document back to the original folder (same folder as the locked temp file), he was able to save the document. Go figure!

How to install PI instance on the same server that has Solution Manager 4?

I am planning to install PI 7 on a windows 2003 server that has Solution manager 4 running on it already.
I am planning to install an additional Oracle instance and put PI on it.
What are the steps involved?
Please advise.
Thanks and regards,
Bhaskar

Barry,
I went throught this link when I firt tried MCOD. may be the mistake I did was that I tired installing two separate instances like Sol Man and XI into the same oracle database. it used to fail at the step of Creating table Spaces.
I tired this when I saw some docs on MCOD (I think from IBM).
May be the approach was wrong.
Let me try this new method of installing two different Oracle instances and put Solution manager on one and XI on the other.
I will update you some time today.
Thanks for the help so far.

How to setup default gateway in a DHCP client. The default gateway will be the Ip address of the server that has RRAS installed, hence routing cabalities.

How to setup default gateway in a DHCP client. The default gateway will be the Ip address of the server that has RRAS installed, hence routing cabalities.

Hi Bill,
Thank you for replying back...Yes, I was actually asking how do you set the default gateway address on the DHCP server?,
I believe I got the answer below:
To configure the DHCP default gateway option Click Start, point to Administrative Tools and then click DHCP. In the console tree, expand the applicable DHCP server, expand IPv4, and then right-click Scope Options Click Configure Options, check 003
Router, type the applicable Server name and IP address, and then click OK.
Thank you

How do I open a Numbers file sent to me that has been converted to Excel? I already have MS Office for Mac.Ow

How do I open a Numbers file sent to me that has been converted to Excel? I already have MS office for Mac, but nothing comes up when I click on the imported file.

If it indeed has been converted from Numbers to Excel, it will have a .xlsx suffix at the end of the name. Do a Get Info on the file if the suffix doesn't show. Else, it may still be in Numbers format and be unreadable by Excel.
If it is in the right format, and you don't want to have to do what mende1 has instructed above for every successive file, click on the "Always open with..." option. That will associate the .xlsx suffix to Excel from thereon.

Problems with sharing InDesign files on Windows server

Hi there. We have four designers that are working with InDesign CS5 and InCopy CS5. Three of these designers are working on Macs running OSX 10.8. The other is working on a Windows 7 machine. All of their files are stored on a Windows Server 2008 R2 file server. The problem is that whenever one of them makes updates to some files in a project and they save it, the others are unable to checkout any assignments from within either InDesign or InCopy. When they try to checkout the files to make changes, they get the following error message: "In use by Unknown in Adobe InDesign from document <file name>.indd"
The strange thing is that their files used to be stored on a Server 2003 file server and they never had any problems. But since we moved them over to this Server 2008 R2 machine I can't help but wonder if it is a problem with the server. In either case, I wanted to ask this question in here to get any opinion on what this could be.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Stefano,
I got similar problems, any solutions for me?
Thanks...

Creating a file on application server that exceeds 10 Million charecters

Hello All,
We have custom IDocs which carry Strings of 1062 characters in each of their segments.
Now the requirement is to create a single string file out of these idocs data.
It is expected that each of these IDocs can go up to having more than 70,000 segments.
So, now when this is concatenated into one single string it can go upto 7 Million charecters.
My questions are:
1. Can we create a text file with so many charecters in a single line or is there any limitation for this ?
2. I have found a datatype CHAR30000, using which i'm currently concatnating around 30 segment data and then writing onto the file. Now once I wrote a single line, how can I set the pointer to End of line ?
3. Is there any limitation in ABAP to create such a long string text file using method mentioned above ?
Thanks for responding back!!
-Sri

No, It should be something like below.. for writing the file onto application server , which aint working though...
*Writing output data into the file.
lw_endofline = 30000.
OPEN DATASET p_fileop FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
LOOP AT int_output INTO wa_output.
    TRANSFER wa_output-sdata TO p_fileop.
    "SET DATASET p_fileop POSITION lw_endofline.
    SET DATASET p_fileop POSITION lw_endofline.
    lw_endofline = lw_endofline + 30000.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET p_fileop.

Moving indesign files (.indd) and link files

Hi guys
How can I move indesign files (.indd) and link files to another folder without breaking the link? or recreate the link.
I couldnt find any good answer.
Thanks

As per my knowledge, such scenario is not supported by product, these links are of "absolute" type (let Adobe team prove I am wrong).
If you have 360 files and need to rename/move the whole project, the only reasonable way is to write a script that would find and update all references with new location.
The only other trick that comes to my mind is to manipulate the file system (NTFS or whatever Mac OS X uses), i.e. create a hardlink for folder, and/or bunch of softlinks for files, between old and new location, so that from the program's point of view the path and filenames would be the same. A sort of a quick & dirty hack.
But it only makes sense to do so, if you do not need to reuse old location and filenames. A script to fix broken links, especially if you handle and support it yourself, will resolve this problem forever.

Moving Indesign files into Muse

Is there any way to move or upload a formatted indesign file into Muse with out losing the formatting?

Hi,
Did you check this tutorial
Build graphics in InDesign | Adobe Muse CC tutorials
Do let me know if you have any question.

Why can't I open an InDesign file on a computer that only has Creative Suite (no cloud)?

I have one computer with the cloud. One computer with the whole suite. When I try to open a document on my computer with the suite that I had previously saved from my computer with the cloud - I receive an error message.
Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

Please post the text of the error message so someone may be able to help
You may also want to check the indesign forum to see if other people are having problems going between versions

Moving of file on application server

Hi,
 i am trying to move a file from one directory to other on the application server. i am using the following code.
open dataset f_fdir for input in text mode encoding default.
do .
 read dataset f_fdir into itab.
 if sy-subrc ne 0.
 exit.
 endif.
append itab.
enddo.
close dataset f_fdir.
open dataset f_fdir1 for output in text mode encoding default.
loop at itab.
 transfer itab to f_fdir1.
endloop.
close dataset f_fdir1.
delete dataset f_fdir.
but the file i am trying to move is prety big and is causing memory problems. is there any code where i can read a row at a time or a block at a time and copy it rather then the entire file at a single time. i am very new to ABAP so you help will be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Ravi.

Hi Ravi ,
1.
In TEXTMODE =>If you read from or write to a file that is open in text mode, the data is transferred line(row) by line(row). The system assumes that the file has a line structure.
2.
Do not worry.
You are doing right way.
Thanks,

Unable package OSX indesign file on Win Server

I package on to a AD based server,,, it creates a folder.. but it is empty
I package locally on my MP desk top it's ok..
Using CS5 .. but problem was there since CS4

Package the file to your Desktop and see if you can copy it up. My money is on file name length being the issue. If you can then it is time to call the helpdesk or Active Directory administrator to ensure that you have enough permissions for InDesign.
Though many run InDesign over the network it isn't officially supported and I think generally the permissions level is like most applications in the print industry where they ask for a broadbrush huge amount of permissions. I don't believe there is a system administrator guide for permissions anywhere, as that is considered supporting network indesign work.
I don't think Active Directory is wildly popular in the Mac world, but they have made progress every release since Panther to make it better. If the file name isn't your issue you may want to see if your AD administrator can set you up with a stunt share with full permissions to see if ID will play nice with it. My bet, again, is on file name length.

Can I save and read text files on a server that I host?

Hello everyone,
I am a java hobbiest. I was wondering if I set up my own server, running out of my house, could I have my applets save to my computer and read from my computer without having to learn JDBC and a DATABASE language. In other words could i just have my applet save and read text files from and to my server?
I'm trying to set up a sight for my 5th grade class where parents can log into. Thanks for your time.
Oh yeah, which is easier, learning how to set up a server or learning JDBC and a DATABASE language?
If you have any other good idease please tell me them
Thank you, Bryan

Short answer: This isn't gonna work
Long answer: For this to work, the first thing you're going to need is a static IP address and a DNS name registered -actually you don't necessarily need #2 but you're probably gonna want it and it's by far the easier of the steps.
As far as I know to get a fixed IP address you've either gotta be directly attached to a larger network (ie university network) or get a leased line from an ISP.
Once you've got that done come back to us.

SQL Loader - Loading Text File into Oracle Table that has carriage returns

Hi All,
I have a text file that I need to load into a table in Oracle using SQL Loader. I'm used to loading csv or comma delimited files into Oracle so I'm not sure what the syntax is when it comes to loading a text file that essentially has one value per row and each row is separated by a carriage return. So when you open the text file, the records look like this:
999999999 <CRLF>
888888889 <CRLF>
456777777 <CRLF>
456555535 <CRLF>
345688888 <CRLF>
So each row is separated by a hard return and I need to tell sql loader that the hard return or next row is the next value to insert into the table. Below is an example of a control file I tend to use as a template for loading csv files but I need to modify it to accomodate this new structure.
OPTIONS (DIRECT=TRUE,ROWS=100000)
UNRECOVERABLE
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'C:\input.txt'
BADFILE 'C:\input.bad'
APPEND
INTO TABLE TEST_TABLE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
TRAILING NULLCOLS
COLUMN_1
How to I modify the control file above to use hard returns as the field/row delimiter for my text file?
Thanks
