OWB docu recommend using utl_file_dir

Hi,
I wonder about this recommendation from OWB11 docu:
To configure the Target Data File Path for Flat file Targets....Set the UTL_FILE_DIR parameter......
This parameter is recommended not to use in 10g, but preferable to use directories for security reasons.
so, what would be a secure way to handle flatfile-pathes with OWB11 ?
thanks for any hint, LaoDe

Hi,
you are right: Handle it with directories! This is the better and secure way. And that'ts the way how owb handle it. A flat file location in owb is a directory in the database.

Needed to downgrade from Mavericks to Mountain Lion to address slowness on older Macbook, now I can't open documents or use my iWorks.

Hello everyone,
Recently went in to the Genius bar to pay to fix some aesthetic physical damage on my 2010 Macbook (Applecare expired) and while I was there I asked about some slowness I'd been experiencing but couldn't explain. My helper recommended that I switch from Mavericks back to Mountain Lion due to the amount of memory required by Mavericks. I did that, and it did fix the slowness issue, but now I'm not able to open my saved documents or use Pages. May be affecting other applications too those just happen to be what I use most frequently.
When I try to open a document it says I need "a newer version of Pages" but I apparently cannot run the newer version of Pages because it says it requires 10.9 or later.
Help, please? I really need access to my documents.

Try one of these programs. Then save in another format and attempt to open in Pages.

Move Files from one document set to another document set using workflow

Hi All,
Env : SP 2013 Server - SPD 2013.
I'm trying to make a SPD Workflow that must copy a files from one Document Set to another Document set in the same library other document library
Does Someone already get success for Copy files from one Document Set to another Document set?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to move Files from one document set to another document set using workflow.
I recommend to use the custom workflow activity Copy List Item Extended Activityto
copy files to another document set.
You can do this with codeless SharePoint Designer workflows as long as you can install the
Codeplex Custom SharePoint Designer Workflow Activities.
These activities are also built-in to SPD2013. However, you can only use the custom activities in the SharePoint 2010 Platform.
To install the custom activities, please follow the steps as below:
Download the solution file form
Useful Sharepoint Designer Custom Workflow Activities
Copy the wps file to the Disk C.
Open the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell.
Run the command: add spsolution c:\ dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp
Open the Center Administration, click System Setting->Manage Farm Solution-> dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp->Deploy to one or more Web Application.
Open the SharePoint designer, create SharePoint 2010 Platform workflow, add action from Custom Actions.

Not able to copying files/folders from one Document Library to another Document Library using Open with Browser functionality

Hi All,
We have SharePoint Production server 2013 where users are complaining that they are not able to copy or move files from one document library to another document library using “Open with Explorer” functionality.
We tried to activate publishing features on production server but it did not work. We users reported following errors:
Copying files from one document library to another document library:
Tried to map the document libraries and still not get the error to copy files:
In our UAT environment we are able to copy and move folders from using “Open with Explorer” though.
We have tried to simulate in the UAT environment but could not reproduce the production environment.
Any pointers about this issue would be highly appertained.
Thanks in advance

Hi John and all,
One the newly created web applications that we created few days back and navigated to document library, clicked on “Open with Explorer”, we get this error.
We're having a problem opening this location in file explorer. Add this website to your trusted and try again.
We added to the trusted site in Internet Explorer for this web application, cleared the cache and open the site with same document library but still get the same above error.
However, another existing web application (In same the Farm) that we are troubleshooting at the moment, we are able click on “Open with Explorer”, login in credentials opens and we entered the details we are able to open the document
library and tried to follow these steps:
From Windows Explorer (using with Open with Explorer), tried to copy or move a files to
source document library.
From Windows Explorer moved this file to another destination document library and we got this error.
What we have to achieve is users should be able to copy files and folders using
Open with Explorer functionality. We don’t know why Open with Explorer
functionality not work working for our environment.
Are we doing something wrong?
We have referred to following websites.
we hope concepts of copying / Moving files are similar as SharePoint 2010. Our production environment is SharePoint 2013.

Problem with Open document SSO using websphere.

Hi All,
I have a issue,
We configured AD SSO using websphere and its working fine but when we try to login to the open document SSO using websphere it prompting for login credentials.
Is there any steps needed for configure open document SSO using websphere.
We made all the changes in web.xml file for the Open Document ,same as in Infoview web.xml file.
When we launch the Open Document, it prompts for the login screen, we get username and passwd fields we do not get the authentication drop down,if we give the AD credentials , we get "Enterprise Authentication error" .We feel the default authentication mode is taken as "Enterprise".
We have made changes in the web.xml for open document to have authentication.dafault as "secWinAD", also ,for test purpose we made the authentication. visible as "true" but the changes were not taken, we have redeployed the war files.
Any one please help on this.
Environment Details-
BOBJ XI R3.1 SP2
Web Sphere 6.1.0.25 .
Thank you in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Bill.

The same settings in the infoviewapp web.xml must be applied on the opendocument web.xml. Also you must be on XI 3.1 FP1 or higher. There is currently an Edge issue being investigated.

How can I create accurate decimal dimensions when creating a new document or using the art board in Illustrator CS6? When I type in a number with a decimal, it automatically rounds the number up.

How can I create accurate decimal dimensions when creating a new document or using the art board in Illustrator CS6? When I type in a number with a decimal, it automatically rounds the number up.

For my part you are welcome, sdowers.
Unfortunately, the uncertainty arising from the rounding has been up several times here in this forum.
I just came to remember a warning that needs to be given:
The rounding of the representation of a numerical value may be harmless in itself, but if you use it for any operation that changes the value, such as multiplication or whatever, things will go wrong because the operation will be made on the basis of the rounded value instead of the true value. So, as in your first case in post #2, 39.625 rounded to 39.63 will become 79.26 instead of 79.25.

Document Set Creation in document library using REST API in Sharepoint 2013

Hi,
I want to create the document set using REST API call. Currently i am able to create the folder and able to upload the files using REST API's in the document library. Is there any way we can pass the contentype name or Id and create the document set using
REST API call. We need to create the document set along with metadata and upload the files inside the document set.
I need to create the document set along with meta data column values using REST API. Please let me know how we can achieve this through REST API.
Thank you,
Mylsamy

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create document set along with managed metadata fields.
The REST API does not currently support working with Managed Metadata or Taxonomy fields.
As a workaround, we can use the JavaScript Client Object Model.

Download older version of a file from SharePoint Document Library using CSOM and 404 error

Hi,
I am trying to download previous versions including Major and Minor versions of documents from SharePoint Online using CSOM. I get 404 error when I try to download the file. I found several posts on various discussion forums where people are getting same
error but none of those have any solution/answer. Below is one of the threads and sample code I have tried that results in 404 error. If I use the link in browser directly, I am able to download the file. Also I am able to download the current version of file
using CSOM without any problem, it is only the older versions that give me 404 in CSOM.

Hi,
According to your description,
I know you want to get older version of a file from SharePoint Document Library using Client Object Model.
The following code snippet for your reference:
public void GetVersions()
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(“http://SPSite”);
Web site = clientContext.Web;
clientContext.Load(site);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
File file = site.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl(“/Shared Documents/mydocument.doc”);
clientContext.Load(file);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
ListItem currentItem = file.ListItemAllFields;
clientContext.Load(currentItem);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
FileVersionCollection versions = file.Versions;
clientContext.Load(versions);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
if (versions != null)
foreach(FileVersion _version in versions)
Console.WriteLine(“Version : {0}”,_version.VersionLabel);

Yes, I just want to cover up all the pages for those particular area of document numbers.
Nothing sensitive about it. I just want to show the correct document numbers on all pages in print out.
So, I wanted to cover up by comments, but commenting on each page will be difficult. So, I wanted to comment the same on all pages.

Hi Adil,
Document Library is different from a normal list. The document library contains files inside it. You need to update the code to add a document to the library. Then you can get hold of the List Item represented by that file and update its properties. Here
is an example:
$WebURL = "http://aissp2013/sites/TestSite"
$DocLibName = "Docs"
$FilePath = "c:\blogs.txt"
# Get a variable that points to the folder
$Web = Get-SPWeb $WebURL
$List = $Web.GetFolder($DocLibName)
$Files = $List.Files
# Get just the name of the file from the whole path
$FileName = $FilePath.Substring($FilePath.LastIndexOf("\")+1)
# Load the file into a variable
$File= Get-ChildItem $FilePath
# Upload it to SharePoint
$spFile = $Files.Add($DocLibName +"/" + $FileName,$File.OpenRead(),$false)
$item = $spFile.Item
$item["Title"] = "New Title"
$item.Update()
$web.Dispose()
