Hi Sara,
From several simmilar past cases, please check if:
1. the URL maintained in the IMG config in LMS was not correct. Although the URL was a WebDav compliant url, the config require a specific URL (see properties of the repository > WebDav url.)
2. the actual service pack for the authoring environment was not installed. Could you please check the patch level of your systems?
3. Could you also check it the configuration of your portal relies on NT authentication? This must be basic authentication (see note 590060 on this)
Please consider also SAP Note 914824 with informations regarding LSO AE.

Javier

  • Authoring tool issue

    Hi all,
    I'm getting the below stated when ever i try to access the master repository from authoring tool, the user credentials are passed correctly to the repository. If i try to access the URL directly with those credentials server is accepting the user inside but from the authoring tool the same is not happening. Help us if anyone worked on this before.

  • How to delete a customization from a form - To import a managemt pack from the Authoring Tool

    I am having issues importing a management pack created in the authoring tool. How do I delete a customization from a form since only one can be present? Is there documentation on this?

    If the MP defining the first custom form doesn't contain anything else you need (such as class extensions) delete the first MP. If it contains other stuff you need, delete the form from the Authoring Tool, increase the version the by 1, seal and import.
    Then import your 2nd MP containing your new form.

  • Call "EchoSign's built-in authoring tool" from my website

    Hello. Could you please tell me if I am able to use "EchoSign’s built-in authoring tool" outside of EchoSign website? I mean maybe there are some API methods with help of which I will be able to add such fields(as when using "EchoSign’s built-in authoring tool") to a document without need to sign in EchoSign website and upload a document to it? Thanks.

    Hello!
    This is the flow….
    1.      Open up my app
    2.      Click on a button to send SOAP request to EchoSign to send document interactively
    3.      Received URL to launch EchoSign and EchoSign app is displayed
    4.      When I’m done and click on Send on EchoSign page, the page stays there.  To get rid of EchoSign page, I have to close the window and manually bring up my app again
    Would like for EchoSign to automatically close after “Send” is successful, and my app shows up again in place of EchoSign.
    Thanks,
    Rachel

  • Inconsistency between catalog authoring tool & Search engine

    Hi,
    We are on CCM2.0 and SRM5.0 with catalog deployment in the same client as SRM.
    In our implementation we are using master catalog and product catalog. We have very recently deleted around 65 items from our product catalog which is mapped to mater catalog and hence those 65 items are not found anymore in master catalog in CAT (Catalog authoring tool).
    This master catalog when published, we expect that these 65 products should not be available for end users.
    But end users can still see the deleted items through CSE (Catalog search engine). Thus there is data inconsistency between CAT & CSE.
    Has anyone faced similar issue before if yes can you please share the same with us.
    Edited by: Manoj Surve on Mar 24, 2009 7:05 AM

    Run TCODE SE38 program /CCM/CLEANUP_MAPPING to look for errors/orphaned records in test mode.
    If you want to clear out orphaned records uncheck the Test Mode but:
    Warning: This program can slow down a production system as it clears out the memory buffers for user catalog searches and these have to be built up again by the users doing searches.  This can be  hours to days depending upon the size of your system and the number of users.
    In Dev or UAt no problem.
    Hope this helps?

  • Help Authoring Tool Options & Enhancements

    I have been using RoboHelp x5 since 2005. For this year's
    budget meeting I have to provide options/cost comparison on other
    tools that are available. One thing that is of crucial importance
    is that my background is not in computer/technical (no can do code,
    scripting, etc), which is why RoboHelp was chosen in the first
    place.
    1) Can anyone offer an "addon products" to use with RoboHelp
    (i.e. to enhance search function, etc)
    2) Can anyone offer any advice (pros and/or cons) about any
    of the following Help Author Tools?
    • AuthorIT
    • Doc-To-Help
    • chm2web
    • FAR
    • Help & Manual
    • Help Generator
    • HelpConsole 2008
    • HelpNDoc
    • HelpServer
    • HelpStudio
    • HelpTron
    • HyperText Studio
    • Macrobject Word-2-CHM
    • Macrobject Word-2-Web
    • MadCap Flare
    • Mif2Go
    • WinCHM
    Any assistance will be MUCH appreciated!
    Cindi

    Hi, Cindi,
    If you're an experienced RoboHelp user and happy with the
    output that you're getting with it then I would question the
    benefit of switching to another help authoring tool. This may be
    necessary in some circumstances —- for example, if you need
    to output your help content in a format that RoboHelp does not
    support, such as Microsoft Help 2.0 -— but for the most part
    the time and effort required to learn the new tool and convert your
    existing content for use with it will outweigh the benefits of
    switching to it.
    Here are a few notes on the tools you listed.
    > chm2web
    > Help Generator
    > HelpConsole 2008
    > HelpNDoc
    > HelpServer
    > HelpTron
    > Macrobject Word-2-CHM
    > Macrobject Word-2-Web
    > WinCHM
    I see little or no mention of these tools in any of the
    Help-related forums that I frequent. This isn't necessarily a bad
    thing, of course, but I believe it indicates that few professional
    help authors are using them. I'd expect the cheaper of these tools
    to provide few or no editing facilities, and in some cases they may
    be designed to perform a single, very specific function, such as
    compiling a set of existing HTML files into a .chm file.
    > FAR
    This is an excellent tool for performing search-and-replace
    operations across a set of HTML files and compiling them into a
    .chm file or Help 2.0 file. It provides no facilities for creating
    and maintaining your topic content, however, so you should really
    only view it as a potentially useful add-on to RoboHelp.
    > Mif2Go
    This is like WebWorks Publisher (not on your list): an
    application that takes source content authored with Adobe
    FrameMaker and converts it into a number of different help formats.
    If you've already authored a lot of content with RoboHelp then
    moving it into FrameMaker and setting up the Mif2Go or WebWorks
    templates appropriately could be a big undertaking.
    > HyperText Studio
    This was up-and-coming five or ten years ago but, for
    whatever reason, it seems to have dropped completely from view
    (though I'm aware that it is still for sale).
    > HelpStudio
    This is a quite heavy-duty application that appears to be
    more popular with software developers than with full-time help
    authors. A "lite" version is now being given away with Visual
    Studio.
    > AuthorIT
    > Doc-To-Help
    > Help & Manual
    > MadCap Flare
    These are all significant players. I've used AuthorIT only
    and, while it's certainly a powerful tool, the learning curve is
    quite steep.
    You can read detailed reviews of many of these applications
    at the Writers UA site (
    http://www.writersua.com).

    I am trying to install on Windows 7 Ent. and Windows 2012 (both attempts fail with same error).
    The VS 2008 shell piece was installed, however, as others have experienced the prereq check issue, I removed it from the input file in the setup folder, which resolved that piece. 
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.
    Regards, Zoeb Khan

    When installing the VS Isolated Shell, make sure the actual binaries (found on the root drive or where you extract the web installer) are installed. This will resolve the above error and also the Prerequisite issue that a lot of people are coming across.

  • Service Manager Authoring Tool 2012 SP1 Missing DLL's

    Hello All,
    Originally posed this to the MS partner forums and was asked to post here.
    I'm hoping someone familiar with the Authoring Tool For service Manager can help me. I'm using the Service Manager Authoring Tool 2012 SP1 found at the link below. I believe this to be the latest available.
    Although the splash screen says Service Pack 1 Beta? Hoping the dev forgot to update the splash screen.
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36214
    I'm trying to create a new custom Service Request form and am getting prompted for some DLL's that seem to be workstation related or at least the Aerolite.dll makes me thing Windows Aero. (Could be wrong)
    I've successful created a new Management pack, and I created a new Class that inherits the properties of the Service Request Class. I've added all the properties I need for the new form. All is well no issues there.
    The next step is to create a new custom form. I select the create new custom form. Give it a simple name, and select my assembly then the form type. I'm then prompted for several DLL files that are not on my system
    and I'm not sure where to find them.
    The DLL's are:
    Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.UI.ExtendedControls.Aerolite.dll
    WPFTToolkit.AeroLite.dll
    I can select cancel several times to get ride of the prompt for the DLL's and can customize the from without issues. I don't think this is correct but I have been able to create the form.
    Does anyone know where I can find the above DLLs? Am I doing something incorrect here? Is this a bug in the authoring tool? If so is there an updated version I should be using?
    I also receive the same prompt for DLLs when attempting to create a custom incident form....
    My test environment is running Server 2012 R2 with Service Manager 2012 SP1. Went ahead and tried this using the Service Manager 2012 SP1 Eval VHD and had the same issue...

    Hello Gabe,
    The following post provides some insight on the Aero DLL's.
    Hi Matt,
    The Aero dll is only available on Vista so the tool will not find it when running on a different OS (e.g. Server 2008). However, you can safely cancel out of that it does not affect the form.
    Regarding moving controls between tabs, unfortunately that's not supported this release.
    It sounds like you did everything right, so let us try your MP here and see if we can reproduce the crash you are seeing and investigate it.
    Thanks,
    Cori
    Another post regarding 'Beta' on the splash screen.
    Yes, someone forget to change the splash screen :)

  • Add Object Attributes to a DisplayObject that is created in the Authoring Tool

    Hello, how can I add attributes to a Display Object, that I have created in the Authoring Tool, so I can acces it by:
    myDisplayObjectInstance.myNewAttribute
    Is a DisplayObejct a dynamic class, that can be extended from anywhere?
    Thanks a lot

    I just found the syntax to add a new ObjectAttribute to an Instance of the Object. But is this ObjectAttribute also added to all other  Instances of the Obejct?
    My plan was to create a MovieClip and set some ActionScript inside its timeline in the first frame that adds some Objcet Attributes to that MovieClip, so that the new Object Attribute can be used for all Instances of this MovieClip, that are created in the runtime.

  • VM Role Authoring Tool - Disable AdminCredential username and password in the UI and provide hardcoded value

    I am want to keep AdminCredential as a parameter in VM Role Authoring Tool but I do not want user to be able to able to provide the password. As an Enterprise, we have a password policy that we use for Admin Password. The reason i want to keep it as an parameter
    is because if we ever decide to change the policy, i do not have to go back and change it at 100 places it was used. I just change the parameter value and it gets applied everywhere.
    This is what i have tried so far:
    I added the AdminCredential parameter in the separate category. I made
    Configurable to No and provided DefaultValue
    in the format Administrator:Password1 in the parameter and imported the definition in the Admin Portal. Now Administrator:Password1 shows up in the username field and password is still editable.
    In short, if possible, i do not want users to see the AdminCredential parameter. If i cannot hide the parameter, i want to disable username and password fields and provide hard coded value for it.
    Is there a way to achieve what i am trying to do?

    The assumption with Azure Pack is that the OS is Server and the OS has been generalized.
    Now, in the Azure Pack world this local admin credential is actually a special credential.  You cannot take it away, but you can set a default value in the designer.
    If a default value is set, you may be able to hide it from the view definition (I am not sure, since this is a special parameter), but you cannot remove the parameter from the resource itself.
    And a credential in Azure Pack gets interpreted to a username plus password string.
    I have added secondary accounts that capture a password string and a username (as strings, not credentials).  But again, I am not positive that this is allowed.
    Sorry for not having a straight answer, maybe someone will jump in with a better one.

  • New authoring tools available (Sept 1)

    The v15 Folio Producer tools are now available here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=172&platform=Macintosh
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=172&platform=Windows
    If you install these authoring tools, the folios you publish are compatible with the current Adobe Content Viewer available on your iPad, Android, and PlayBook devices. However, if you created a custom viewer app using an earlier set of tools and don't want to submit a new version to the store, you don't need to update your authoring tools.
    If you install the newest version of the Adobe Content Viewer on an Android device, you can use the new Preview on Device feature. The updated Android viewer is available here (or you can search for it in Market):
    https://market.android.com/details?id=air.com.adobe.contentviewer
    The Preview on Device feature is not yet available for the iPad. When using the Preview on Device with the Android viewer, make sure that you have the newest viewer, that you turn on USB Debugging on your device, that you install the required device drivers to transfer files from your computer to your mobile device (Windows only), and that you start Adobe Content Viewer on your attached device when you open the Preview menu in your Folio Builder panel. See Use Preview on Device for details.
    The updated version of the Viewer Builder is not yet available. It is scheduled for release next week.
    See What's new in this release for details. However, note that the new Viewer Builder features mentioned are not yet available.

    Hello Bob, i welcome myself in public forums. I'm quite desperate now. Finaly we are able to use full DPS, so we start to upgrade our tools from Drop 10 to current tools (so i'm on CS 5). Unfortunately even after many tries (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/916/cpsid_91689.html) i'm still stuck with error of folio builder requesting upgrade.
    BTW because of quite non-helping names of .dmg i'm even not sure that i'm downloading REALLY the newest tools, because name is just AdobeDigitalPublishingPatch-All and files on this dmg are from 25th of August. Here is screenshot from installation of this update:
    Any idea what to do? And no, reinstall CS 5 is not the answer, it's late evening here and i don't have access to medium and serial number in IT section.
    And please can you improve informations about what version belongs to which "Drop" (and which viewer is supported by this version), and can you improve naming of downloads so it's crystal clear what is what?
    Thank you.

  • Authoring Tool - Where are the updated MPs for the Library After Applying Update Roll Ups

    All,
    Fairly recently, I took a client to SCSM 2012 R2 UR3. Today I dropped by to do some work for them on custom MPs, and when I attempted to open them with the SCSM 2012 R2 Authoring tool, I could not, because the 7.5.3079.148 MPs (UR3 version) are not in the
    library. I have searched high and low to locate these MP files to drop them into the library, but I am coming up empty handed. Where are the .MP files? I am aware that we can just directly alter the referenced MP version number in the MP itself, but I want
    to know where do we actually find these correctly versioned files for the authoring tool. 
    Thanks,
    Z

    Hey Everyone,
    I have heard back a few times from MS, but with nothing substantially helpful other than they created a bug for it. Today they called again and said this is listed with a low priority, because not enough people are complaining about it, which has a several-months
    time frame for resolution. He asked me to submit Connect Feedback and get people to Upvote it and state that they can reproduce the problem. So, I went out there, found one connect request already submitted (By Thomas Bianco above) and attached to the bug,
    and I Upvoted and clicked the Repros link on it. Here is the link below, so please get out there and and Upvote and click the Repros link.

    Thanks!

  • SCSM Authoring Tool verification error when creating a new property

    I am needing to add several new fields to an existing customized ServiceRequest Extended Form.  Using SCSM I exported the management pack (as a bundle) and then used PowerShell to export to a .xml.   Now when I open the class and try
    to create a new property I get an error stating:
    The management pack could not be verified due to this error:
    Verification failed with 1 errors:
    Error 1:
    Found error in ...servicerequestextendedform.category with message:
    The Target attribute value is not valid.  Element ....ServiceRequestExtendedForm.Category references a Target element that cannot be found.
    I am very new to this.   Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    you probably want to go back to original sources, rather then exporting from Service Manager, since the export will break any sealing and might cause issues when authoring or resealing. 
    You'll also need :
    a Sealed version of the class extension, since this is going to need to be loaded into the authoring tool before you see the extra properties,
    an unsealed copy of the MP that contains the form customization, so you can edit it 
    the original key used to seal the current customization, so you can seal the upgraded form using the same key so it will upgrade the MP correctly in your production environment.
    The specific error you're running into looks like a MP reference error, but it's hard to be sure without seeing the original XML. i'd make sure that you have opened the sealed versions of any other MPs this MP depends upon. 

  • Help Authoring Tool

    I would like to add a comprehensive help feature to the application I'm creating. Ideally, I would like a "mini website" which the user would access via a link from the navigation bar. If it's possible, I'd like to program the link to be context sensitive (i.e. pull up help for the given page, but once the user is in the help website, he/she can use a search tool or jump to the Table Of Contents or Index).
    Is there a help authoring tool (e.g. Adobe's Robohelp or something similar) that works particularly well with APEX? Is there something built into APEX that I haven't found yet? (note: I'm new to APEX programming). Any advice on any of the tools would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    APEX includes built-in features to develop a help system for your application.

  • Pixel Bender authoring tools

    I have a few questions about the Pixel Bender authoring tools
    when Pixel Bender is officially released. I hope someone can answer
    these for me or point me towards the answers.
    1) Will the Pixel Bender Toolkit be freely available? If not,
    will it become a part of Flash CS4, After Effects CS4 and Flex
    Builder 3.2?
    2) Will the command line compiler be freely available, along
    with a language specification?
    3) Is the Pixel Bender format open, so that we can expect
    third-party development tools? [The answer seems at least partially
    yes, since Conduit for Pixel Bender has made its appearance]
    To clarify where I'm coming from: I own Photoshop CS4 and
    Flex Builder 3 and I'm looking forward to create Photoshop plug-ins
    using Pixel Bender. It would make for some nice speed gains,
    cross-platform compatibility and a lot less hassle than the PS SDK,
    for those plug-ins that don't require the SDK functionality. I have
    no need for Flash, so it would be a shame if I had to buy it to
    generate Pixel Bender bytecode.
    Thanks!
    Simon

    Kevin, thank you for answering. My major concern was that in
    order to write pieces of code for one of the Adobe programs, people
    would need to buy another (expensive) program, such as Flash. I'm
    happy that's not the case.
    As to my point (3), I understand the decision to keep the
    run-time Adobe-only (for now) and by 'open' I was indeed referring
    mostly to authoring tools.
    Thanks again!
    Simon
    Oh, I'm not sure whether this is the correct place, but let
    me sneak in a feature request in relation to Photoshop: it would be
    really great if the Pixel Bender plug-ins for Photoshop would get
    the option to be supplied with color data in a standard color
    space, such as RIMM RGB (used in ACR/Lightroom). That way, the
    plug-ins would effectively be color managed, without the hassle of
    performing color transformations inside the kernel.
