Need help on content server conversioning formats

Hi,
I need a help on content server. My requirement is to convert PDF to HTML how can i achieve that wether by using IBR or by Dynamic converter and explain how to do this ?
Srinath am fallowing you in the forum hope you can help in this...
Thanks,
DSV

Hi
Dynamic converter is the component that will be used to do the conversion from any format to HTML . So you will have to install the following to get this working :
1. UCM Core Update patchset 6907073 which is build 74 (latest to be released)
2. Dynamic Converter version 8.2.0.862 - This will be available in the above patchset .
3. ContentAccess specific to your OS . This is from patchset 6899823 .
After installing the above 3 component , restarting UCM should get the DC up and working . Then you would need to set pdf as a format to be converted to HTML (from configuration for DC admin) and it should start working fine .
Hope it helps .
Thanks
Srinath

    I need help with Mavricks Server, I get the following: an error occurred while configuring your server.  I have deleted the Server.app several times along with the associated com.apple and Server folder.  Any more help would be appreciated.

  • Need Help with data type conversion

    Hello People,
    I am new to java, i need some help with data type conversion:
    I have variable(string) storing IP Address
    IPAddr="10.10.103.10"
    I have to call a library function which passes IP Address and does something and returns me a value.
    The problem I have is that external function call in this library excepts IP Address in form of a byte array.
    Here is the syntax for the function I am calling through my program
    int createDevice (byte[] ipAddress).
    now my problem is I don't know how to convert the string  IPAddr variable into a byte[] ipAddress to pass it through method.

    Class InetAddress has a method
    byte[]      getAddress() You can create an instance using the static method getByName() providing the IP address string as argument.

  • Do we need an External Content Server to be configured with OLM

    Would like to know if an external content server is mandatory for Oracle OLM on R12.
    I have read notes that Content Servers cannot be hosted on the middle tier of Ebiz but have also been told from other sources
    that it can be hosted but has some limitations interms of file types supported.
    Would like to know if the above is true and if so what are the limitations

    Hi Muthu,
    An external content server is not mandatory for OLM rel. 12.
    You can use an OLM content server, an external content server or any other server that can serve up the content based on URL's.
    Oracle does not support an OLM Content Server being hosted on the eBiz middle tier, even if it has been seen to be working in some installations.

  • ACE 4710 - need help configuring backend server monitoring

    Currently running an ACE 4710, which is handling all of our inbound SSL connections and then forwarding requests thru
    to backend web servers. This all works fine.
    My question is this..Right now we are not load balancing any of the backen web servers. But I now have a requirement that should
    a web server crash or become unavailable I need to redirect that backend connection to another web server.
    Scenario is more like I have 2 web servers both serving same content, but I want one server to take all the connections unless it fails, at that point
    have all the connections forwarded to 2nd server.
    Is there a way to setup the load balancing where the 1st server gets all the connections until a failure happens ?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers

  • I need help installing SQL Server 2012 Express

    I am very much an amateur. I got a new machine. The old one had Server 2008 R2 but the recommendation was that I need to move to 2012 Express.
    When I moved to the new machine, the mover (LapLink) screwed up the version of 2008 R2. IOW, I now have to go forward and install 2012..
    I downloaded all the 64 bit files (5 of them). When I start SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe, the process starts and then I'm given the choice of a new install or upgrade. I chose the new install. The process started and I got the following message ...
    "Failed to retrieve data for this request.."
    There are no hints anyplace as to what this means.
    When I click "OK", a new status window pops up and proclaims that something is wrong. Then all activity stops.
    I don't know what to do. I can't use either version and I really can't tell you much more to help me.

  • Need help to deploy server 2012 with DNS role installed.

    I want to deploy an image using wds on server 2012. I will be using an answer file for unattended installation with little touch as possible. My answer file works great but I can't get the auto-logon to work and the FirstLogonCommand to run. I added
    Components\7 oobeSystem\amd64_ Microsoft-Windows- Shell-Setup _neutral\FirstLogonCommands to my answer file using Windows Image Manager and added these values:
    CommandLine = powershell -command Install-WindowsFeature DNS –IncludeManagementTools -IncludeAllSubFeature -Restart
    Description =Install dns server
    Order = 1
    Then I did auto logon located at Components\7 oobeSystem\amd64_ Microsoft-Windows- Shell-Setup _neutral\Autologon and added these values:
    Domain = contoso
    Enabled = true
    LogonCount = 1
    Typed the password
    Username = Administrator
    These two components alone don't work. It installs server 2012 OK and bypasses all the screens I want to bypass it even joins the domain
    contoso successfully. I have to manually logon and then when I logon no scripts or anything is ran. When server manager opens dns role is not installed and not even located under tools.
    Things I tried:
    Open cmd as admin and typed "powershell -command
    Install-WindowsFeature DNS –IncludeManagementTools -IncludeAllSubFeature -Restart." this worked and installed roles successfully
    If I missed anything to help you troubleshoot just ask.

    Unfortunately you are posting in the wrong forum.  You need to post deployment issues in the Windows Server Deployment forum.

  • Need help regarding Weblogic Server Hang up

    We are facing a problem at the client’s place on the production environment.
    The weblogic server is hanging up once every week. The application is running fine till then, but once the server is hung we need to restart the weblogic again.
    Also after observing the behavior of the memory usage of the application in the weblogic admin console we came to know that the memory usage is gradually increasing day by day. We are not sure why this is happening.
    We tested the application to check for any memory leaks using JProbe. We couldn’t find any memory leaks in the application. We even tested it onsite but couldn’t find any memory leaks.
    I need some help on this issue as this is happening on the production environment and needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
    The configuration we are having on the production environment is:
    bea:8.1
    JDK:1.41_02

    1. You say its a hang, get multiple threadumps and see whats happening at the time of hang. this will give you a clue into the work thats going on and thats stuck.
    2. are you seeing outofmemoryexception? If yes only then you will need to suspect the memory leak. First thing in such situation is try to increase the heap by about 1/3rd more (this is just a guestimate not a recommended practice) , that can potentially buy you time to analyze the problem.
    3. you should also check if weblogic objects are leaking , check the jprobe snapshots if you have any to see if you find any weblogic object that are not getting garbage collected and growing continuously. there have been a few memory leak fixes since 8.1 release. if you find something contact support@bea and find out if any existing fix will help.

  • Need Help Finding a Server-Side printing solution - CFMX 7.0.2

    I would like some help in figuring out how I can print PDFs
    to a specified server-side printer. I am running MX 7.0.2.
    Simplifying my process a bit, I would like to create a pdf,
    send that pdf to a server-side printer, then write to a database
    the date&time of when that pdf was printed (actually when it
    was sent to the printer).
    Any advice or a good place to look to help me?
    Thanks.

    First thing I would look at is the capabilities of the
    printer. Good
    quality network printers meant for the job should have all
    you need
    built in. You will just need to send the file to be printed
    to a
    specified directory, URL:port, email address or other network
    protocol
    the printer has been designed to monitor and print anything
    that comes
    its way.
    If your printer is a desktop printer doing a network job you
    will have
    more work to do. The next thing to check out is the printer
    driver
    capabilities, can it be run from the command line or some
    other method
    that is automate-able. ColdFusion can fairly easy send
    command line
    instructions in this type of situation.
    If that is not an option you may be down to the hardest
    choice. If you
    can run some application that can print the document you may
    be able to
    use COM objects to do this programatically. This is a
    challenging task
    and usually very fragile. For example, using COM objects to
    interact
    with MS Word is very difficult - since Word will often
    generate dialog
    boxes that can only be responded to by a user directly
    interfacing with
    the server.

  • Need Help with simple date conversion

    Hi all,
    I have been creating integrations from custom Oracle tables to my Hyperion Planning application. I have most of them working, but am having issues loading dates to the application.
    The dates in the source are formatted as M/DD/YY.
    Hyperion can only recieve the dates if they are in MM-DD-YYY format. (atleast that is the error I receive when I load the interface)
    Could someone please help me build an ODI expression that will convert/format the date? My SQL is pretty weak.
    Thanks,

    Thanks for the reply. I guess one of my issues is I am trying to do this conversion in my Sunopsis Memory Staging Area. So I guess I should be using SQL to convert the date, but I am still having issues.

  • I need help with a question about formatting and recovery

    Hello, I have accidentally downloaded a trojan virus onto my computer and I have been told by tech support that the only way to completely rid my computer of its effects is to format my hard drive and restore my computer to factory defaults. I only NEED a handful of files and they arent infected so i already have them on a flash drive ready to be copied over to a restored version. 
    My Toshiba A665 S6050 supposedly has the recovery items and to access it you must hold "0" while starting it up... is that true? if it is true, after I format my hard drive, will i still be able to hold "0" on start-up and restore it to factory defaults or will formatting it wipe out that function?
    Thanks ahead of time , -Mark

    Mark, if you elect to restore your hard disk to it's original out-of-the-box contents, then the whole disk will be exactly the way you got it, including the recovery partition.
    See the section Recovering the Internal Storage Drive, which begins on p. 61 of the User's Guide.

  • Problems with string encoding - need the text content in char* format.

    The problem is non ASCII-characters, which comes out as some sort of unicode I need to desipher.
    Here's what I got:
    A text frame object with the TextString "Agnartjørna"
    I get the text content of this object into an ai::UnicodeString the following way:
    AIErr
    VMGetTextOfTextArt( AIArtHandle textArt, ai::UnicodeString &ucStr)
        ASUnicode *textBuffer = NULL;
        AITRY {
            TextFrameRef ateTextRef;
            AIX( sAITextFrame->GetATETextFrame( textArt, &ateTextRef));
            ATE::ITextFrame ateText( ateTextRef);
            ATE::ITextRange ateRange = ateText.GetTextRange( true);
            ASInt32 textLen = ateRange.GetSize();
            AIX( sSPBlocks->AllocateBlock( (textLen+2) * sizeof( ASUnicode), nil, (void**) &textBuffer));
            ateRange.GetContents( textBuffer, (ASInt32) textLen+1);
            /* trim off trailing newlines */
            if ((textBuffer[textLen] == '\n') || (textBuffer[textLen] == '\r'))
                 textBuffer[textLen] = 0;
            ucStr.clear();
            ucStr.append( ai::UnicodeString( textBuffer, textLen));
            sSPBlocks->FreeBlock( textBuffer);
            textBuffer = NULL;
           AIRETURN;
        AICATCH {
            if (textBuffer) sSPBlocks->FreeBlock( textBuffer);
           AIPROPAGATE;
    Now, the next step is to convert it into a form that I can use to call regexp.
    Baiscally, I want to detect the ending "tjørna" (meaning small lake) on a map label, and apply a standard abbevriation "tj^a" (with "a" superscripted).
    So the problem is to obtain the regexp pattern and the text content in same encoding.  And since the regexp library is old *char based, I would like to convert the text content in to plain old *char.
    Hence the following code:
    static AIErr
    VMAbbreviateTextArt( AIArtHandle textArt,
                             vmTextAbbrevEffectParams *params)
        AITRY {
        /* first obtain the text contents of the textArt */
           ai::UnicodeString ucText;
          const int kTextLen = 256;
          char textContent[kTextLen];
          AIX( VMGetTextOfTextArt( textArt, ucText));
          ucText.as_Roman( textContent, kTextLen);
    But textContent now has the value "Agnartj\xbfnna"  (According to XCode),
    which will not get a match on the pattern "tj([øe][rn])na\\" (with  backslash matching the end of the string)
    Any other ways to convert the textContent to a plain *char string?

    Thank you very much, your method will work fine. with
    the "UTF-8" parameter the byte[].length is double,
    cause every valid byte is preceeded by an -62, but I
    will just filter the valid bytes into a new array.
    Thanks again,
    StefanActually what you need to do is to find the character encoding that your device expects, and then you can code your strings in Arabic.
    That's the way Java does things; Strings and char values are always in UNICODE (see www.unicode.org) (which means \u600 to \u6ff for arabic) and uses a specified character encoding when translating these to and from a byte stream.
    Each national character encoding has a name. Most of them are identical to ASCII for 0-127 and code their national characters in 128-255.
    Find the encoding name for your display and, odds are, the JRE has it in the library.
    BTW the character encoding ISO-8859-1 simply maps UNICODE characters 0-255 on to bytes.
