Perl client for InDesign Server

Please help to setup a perl client for InDesign server to run javascripts: Below is the code I tried to run "MakeDocument.jsx"
use SOAP::Lite;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
my $soap = SOAP::Lite->new(proxy=>'http://172.16.32.43:18444/service?wsdl');
my %script_parameters = ( "scriptFile"=>"MakeDocument.jsx", "scriptLanguage"=>'javascript');
my $result = $soap->call('RunScript',%script_parameters)->result;
print $result;

What's the error you are getting? Where is the script placed?

Issue in setting Load balancing for Indesign Server CS5.5

Hi All,
I need to set up load balancing mechanism for Indesign Server CS5.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2(64 bit version).
I have dutifully following all steps defined in "WORKING WITH LOAD BALANCING AND QUEUEING FOR ADOBE INDESIGN CS5 SERVER.pdf"
After running Indesign server using batch file "startup-indesign-server-CORBA-4instances.bat" from "<ID_SDK>\samples\load-balancing-and-queuing-clients\indesignserver-startup-scripts", I get only one instance of Indesign Server running. How to run multiple instances of the INDD server ? Is running multiple instance has something to do with type of licensing ?
Now I run Clover.cmd script, I get this screen. I have no idea why its not working. Please help. Please let me know, if the scenario is not clear and more information is required.
Thnx,
D

This is the image after running clover.bat

Installing Transparency Flattener Preset for Indesign Server CS4

I'm trying to figure out how to install a transparency flattener preset for InDesign Server CS4.
I can see how they are installed for the InDesign app. Edit -> Transparency Flattener Presets...
But I'm not sure which directory to install these on for the server.
I've seen a post that mentions:
C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0\en_US\Transparency Flattener Presets
/Users/<UserName>/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 6.0/en_US/Transparency Flattener Presets
for the Desktop version. But when I place files here even for the CS4 Desktop, they don't seem to show up in the UI.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Dennis

Thanks, to get this working in a server script, I ended up just programmatically creating the flattener preset, rather than worrying about the .flst files. (Java code below)
//Setup Transparency Flattener (if not in application)
FlattenerPreset flattenerPreset = app.getNamedChildFlattenerPreset("Test");
if (flattenerPreset == null) {
      flattenerPreset = app.addFlattenerPreset();
      flattenerPreset.setName("Test");
      flattenerPreset.setRasterVectorBalance(VariableTypeUtils.createLong(100));
      flattenerPreset.setLineArtAndTextResolution(2400.0);
      flattenerPreset.setGradientAndMeshResolution(400.0);
      flattenerPreset.setConvertAllTextToOutlines(false);
      flattenerPreset.setConvertAllStrokesToOutlines(false);
      flattenerPreset.setClipComplexRegions(false);
pdfPreset.setAppliedFlattenerPreset(flattenerPreset);

For a start, you need to use the

Visual Studio compiling 64 Bit Plugin for InDesign Server CS5

Hello guys,
Again I have a problem compiling 64 bit plugins, but this time in windows environments, the 32 bit compiling works fine (also on 64 bit machines). The first thing I've done was creating a new project configuration for 64 bit environments copying the 32 bit settings. Now I changed the precompiled libraries to use the 64 bit ones and changed the output directories. After that the compilation process completed without errors, but the resource files have not been copied to the output directory (the directory for them has been created, but it remains empty). Adding the created plugin into the servers directory ends up with a server message that the plugin could not be recognized. Have I missed something that is necessary for compiling 64 bit plugins?
I'm using the 64 Bit Developer Version of the indesign server CS5. The operating system is a Windows Server 2008 x64 R2 with Visual Studio 2008.
Thanks!
P.S. a plugin compiled with 32 bit settings (including 32 bit libraries) also works for the 64 bit version of the server, so does it make any difference if I'm using 32 bit or 64 bit libraries?

The libraries were all correct (all using 64-bit). The problem was a pathing issue. libxml2 needs iconv.dll, but it couldn't find the 64-bit version that I built. Once it found it, everything worked correctly.
The funny thing about depends.exe is that it isn't right all the time. For example, if you open one of the 64-bit .aip files that ships with Illustrator (rename it to .dll first), you'll see what I'm talking about. It complains that you're mixing x86 and x64 CPU types, even though you're not.
The program I used to discover my issue is Process Monitor (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx). I've been using it for years and love it.

What's needed for a PDF processing module for InDesign Server?

Hello,
After digging through lots of documentation and whitepapers, I am still puzzled about what would be an efficient way to implement a software module that handles some specific processing tasks of PDF output (automatically generated in InDesign Server and targeted for various types of print configurations from small-run LFP up to very high volume commercial printing).
We have a working standalone script that uses Acrobat's preflight and correction functions, and now we would like to port and integrate this into a server-based workflow. Apparently, there is no Acrobat Server product available. Distiller Server does exist, but seems to be limited to converting PostScript to PDF without the PDF-to-PDF processing features we need. Some of the functionality that is typically found in RIPs (e.g. converting colours to a preset output intent with highly configurable options [for pixel/vector elements, black and spot colour ink issues etc.] and flattening native transparency) could probably be implemented using the Adobe PDF Print Engine, but this seems a bit overkill and would probably require extensive programming from scratch. I suspect there should be a smarter way to use existing software – but which? I am not yet familiar with InDesign Server; does its SDK permit full access to the same parts/functions of the PDF library that Acrobat uses for its preflight and correction features?
Any help is welcome.
Eric

I have spent some time geting Java automation to work with InDesign, it's not my favorite language but I learned some things that may help and put them into some course content that Adobe should put out shortly; will post here when it is available online.
Our company, Silicon Publishing, provides general InDesign Server automation training, though we don't have a current offering that specifically targets Java we teach some of the basics of working with Java (many unique techniques!) and could arrange a limited form of training.
The documentation and samples with the SDK should take you part of the way there: for specific scripts, it has been helpful to us to get things working in an easier-to-write (i.e. JavaScript) script first, then translate such a script to Java, taking into account the unique characteristics of the language and various tactics (outlined in the SDK documentation) to address these.

Kuassi,
I see that files "javadoc.zip" and "demo.zip" report the same file sizes for both 10.2.0.2 and 10.2.0.1 versions. Are the 10.2.0.2 versions of these files identical to the 10.2.0.1 versions?
Thanks,

Requires Oracle client for windows server 2008 Version 6.1

The amount of information you provide is surprisingly sparse, assuming you want assistance.
So - if you want help, you might wnat to provide some information:
- the operating system (including edition, and major service pack if WIndows, or distro && major/minor release and kernel if *nix)
- the URL froim which you downloaded
- the country yuo are in (since ORacle could redirect to several sitres based on region)
- the command or executable, including directory path, you run or double-click on
- the 'exact' error message, or if a generic one like "Unknown", perhaps a screen shot to convince us that it is actually such a generic message
It's just a suggestion, but answering in such detail actually tells us you are serious about resolving the issue - you put in effort, and that may convince us to return some effort.

Docs about "Debug settings.xml" for Indesign Server

Hi,
In the "Indesign Server Debug" CS5.5 I found a file "Debug Settings.xml" (also in the desktop version). I suppose this is about enabling/disabling certain loggings. Default, all features are disabled. I tried to enable some of the features but I can't see any difference in the logging.
So, I have 3 questions:
- Is this somewhere documented on what this settings do? What can I expect if I enable a certain feature?
- In the desktop debug version there is a menu "Test" with many diagnostic and other tests. Can these somehow being performed in IndesignServer debug? Is this documented somewhere?
- I followed the steps described in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/883151 to obtain a "Leaks.txt" file. The approach described in that thread works in the desktopversion of Indesign but not for IndesignServer. Any ideas how I can obtain this for IndesignServer?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Bart Devos.

The only strategy that I can think of involves a lot of pain.
First you should remove all but the plugin that you're working on. The point of this is to check there might be some other plugin that is leaking. No point trying to fix a problem when it's not in your code.
Once you verify that nothing is leaking without your plugin, use Dolly to create a simple plugin and add it. Check this for leaks. This is to create a base system that we can be confident doesn't leak.
Now comes the painful stuff. Slowly add a piece of your code at a time being sure to test your changes.(That's important, don't just add code but test it throughly to see if you trigger leaks.)
When leaks appear, go through what you just added and start commenting things out. Hopefully you'll get to a line that you can comment and uncomment to make the leak appear and dissappear.
But be careful. Sometimes the leak isn't in the line that you find, but at least you're probably in the ballpark. This should help narrow your focus to where you need to look.
Once you fix that leak kept slowly adding the rest of the code, testing as you go. Who knows, maybe there's more than one leak.
It's not the prettiest approach but I find that it works.

Develop plugin for indesign server

Hi,
i donno if this question is really trivial or if i'm just approaching this the wrong way. I need to develop a plugin that i'll have to run using indesign server. I have been reading the sdk documentations and trying to understand whatever i can. I've also developed the writefishprice plugin, however from what i understand that one won't run in the server. Is there any documentation that i can read that'll get me started on this, right now i feel like i'm between a rock and a hard place. any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Paul

Hello,
Even I have developed an Indesign server plugin, but I also face the problem in its invokation. I have read " indesign-server-plugin-techniques.pdf". It talks about how to make your plugin so as to make it compatible with indesign server, but doesn't talks about how does the server plugin gets invoked??
Kindly help.

Hi Ole!
This reminds me. I think your scripting documentation and sample scripts are too difficult. :-)
Likewise, I can't tell whether you're suggesting a workaround here or not. I've just got, you know, something hanging out with the right side at 38.768, and I want it at exactly 37.1, and I don't want to move the left side, and I can't drag the handle where I want it even if I want to, because it only goes to 36.934 or 37.226 argh, and I still don't have a way to simply put it at 37.1(00).
Failing that, maybe one of you wonderful guys will tell me how to correct this:

It says it was expecting a string or nothing and I hate to disappoint it, but I found that "thin space" in the dictionary and had the audacity to think I could use it. Which I suppose I can, somewhere, only apparently not here.

Hi Roy, Dave,
Actually, that's the difference between the resize and reframe methods in scripting, which mirror the difference between the scale x/scale y and width/height fields in the Control panel. But I agree that the Proxy version was better.:-)

Oracle client for siebel server configuration

Hi ,
To install siebel as prerequisite we are installing oracle client on the siebel server machine. Our client is providing ldap.ora instead of tnsnames.ora file. Through out my earlier projects we used to have tnsnames.ora entry which is having connection details of database. CAn you Please confirm instead of having tnsnames.ora , can we use ldap .ora which is having Db server details in it. Have you ever seen other clients using this way without tnsnames.ora for siebel installation.
Can you please provide any documentation which confirms that we must need tnsnames.ora, not ldap.ora.
Thanks much in advance.

Oracle 11g Client for Windows Server 2008 Relase2 Operating Stystem

Hi,
I am having a server with Operating System as Windows Server 2008 R2 version 64 - bit.
I am using SSRS 2008 which is 64 bit, for retreiving the data from Oracle (which is 11g - 32 bit), I am unable to create data source for Oracle.
I had installed ODAC Components of Oracle 11.1.0.7.20 on the server, but still I am getting the following error:
"The 'OraOLEDB.Oracle.1' provider is not registered on the local machine."
Does any one know how to install Oracle Client 11g on Windows Server 2008 R2 Operating system?

Helios,
It is wonderful that you are polite and encouraging to new people.
While you are responding, could you explicitly direct people to use the correct forum. This has at least 2 benefits:
1) Ensures that the person gets the widest possible amount of assistance;
2) Ensures that the rest of us do not need to waste time on improperly placed questions.
I suggest 'explicitly' since some people do not get the hint, and keep returning to the original thread.
This thread belongs in 'Database - General' or 'Database - Install'.

Alternative Mail clients for Exchange server?

i hate Entourage, and need to look into alternatives after Mail stopped communicating with works Exchange server today!
Can't find any reason for the failure (even though my laptop and desktop both are having the same problem and both worked fine on friday!).
I looked at Thunderbird, but that doesn't support Exchange servers.
