Properties for Accessibility Standards

I have created forms in Adobe Livecycle Designer 8.0 to be used online. In order to make these forms "Accessible" for our website, I need to be able to add form properties and test the accessibility from within Adobe Professional ( this functionality isn't available in Designer), but the Properties options are greyed out when the form is opened in Professional. Designer does allow you to add some properties (Title, author etc.) from within the program but once they're opened in Reader or Professional the properties do not show and therefore do not allow it to pass accessibility testing. We need to be able to use online forms but meeting accessibility standards is mandatory for our website here.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I am truly hoping SOMEONE has an answer for this! I realize your post was some time ago - in case this went "off forum" here is the background.
In LiveCycle Designer ES, you can set the default "Form locale" under "Defaults" on the File Properties page. This is essentially the default language for the form. The problem comes when you generate a pdf from the form. Regardless of this setting, if you view the Advanced tab under the pdf's document properties, the field "Language" under Reading Options is blank, and greyed out - you cannot change it. This is the field Adobe uses to check for accessibility- if it is blank it gives an error message upon an accessibility check reading "the form lacks a language specification". I have searched all over this forum and all over the web trying to figure out how to correct this with no luck. Any pointers????

API to access and set properties for MP4 files

I am looking for some APIs in Visual C++ to use in Visual Studio to set
and get properties for .mp4 files. Can anyone help me in this regard?

Hi Rahul,
Try using the Windows Media Format SDK with help from the below document:

How to create F4 for the standard transaction

Hi all ,
How to create F4 for the standard transaction for a particular field .
Bye

Santosh,
You can create F4 values for a field in a standard Transaction .
1. First search for a standard search help meeting your requirement .
2. If you don't find one, create your own custom (z) serach help .
( 1 is preferable )
After that, include that serch help to the standard field in the transaction .
For this u need to go to the screen
( F1->F9-> screen-> Field )
Click on the property of the field and include the search help .
You ll require the access key from the basisi guys as u r changing standard .
Hope it helps,

Error editing task sequence: Failed to load dynamic properties for class "SMS_TaskSequence_ApplyWindowsSettingsAction" From XML into WMI

I've started getting an intermittent error editing my Windows 7 OSD task sequence. Sometimes I can open the TS to edit, but when I try to apply changes I get the error. Other times I get the error when trying to open the TS. If I try again
right away, I still get the error, but if I wait a few minutes and try again sometimes it will open the TS.
The error reads:
ConfigMgr Error Object:instance of SMS_Extended Status{Description = "Failed to load dynamic properties for class \"SMS_TaskSequence_ApplyWindowsSettingsAction\" from XML into WMI";Error Code = 2147943746;File = "e:\\qfe\\nts\\sms\\siteserver\\sdk_provider\\smsprov\\ssptspackage.cpp";Line = 3454;Operation = "ExecMethod";ParameterInfo = "SMS_TaskSequencePackage";ProviderName = "WinMgmt";StatusCode = 2147749889;}
Coinciding with this error, I show the following entries in the TaskSequenceProvider.log file:

I exported the task sequence and checked in "object.xml" for the "ApplyWindowsSettingsAction", to see if there was something odd in the xml, but I don't find anything that jumps out as being wrong. Here's the section of XML for
that step. I've removed identifying info, and replaced it with a generic term in bold.

Is there any other log I should check for a clue on this issue? What could be causing this error?

Thanks for sharing that! I tend to save contacting MS support until after I've exhausted other options. I'm always afraid that I'll spend the $500 to open a case and then it turns out to be something simple that I would have found if I had just
kept working on it myself a little longer.
It looks like that link is for an update released in February as KB3023562. I downloaded and installed it. I'll try opening/editing/saving the task sequence a few times today to see if the issue is resolved.
After I had already installed it, I thought to look up that update in configmgr. The update is listed as superseded by 2 other updates. The newest of those is KB3046049, which just installed last night with the other March patches, so it's possible
that I didn't need to install KB3023562 after all.

How to make Javascript access standard JSF component

Hello all,
I'm in need of a proper javascript code that access standard jsf component.
Like we do for html tags;
if( el.tagName.toLowerCase() != 'select')
I need to do the same thing for a jsf tag i.e; <h:selectOneMenu>. How to make javascript access <h:selectOneMenu> like it does with <select> tag ? Please let me know asap. Extremely sorry if the question is kind of stupid....cause I'm a beginner for JSF environment.
Any sort of help, suggestion or advice would highly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Ummmm, I may be off the beaten path, but by the time your javascript is called the h:selectOneMenu would be a select tag within the dom. You should be able to reference that tag as you normally would.

Configure ODBC to access a CSV file on Linux for access from BI Server

How to configure an ODBC connection to a CSV file on Linux for access from the BI Server Repository physical layer
I am migrating a working windows OBIEE installation to Linux and can not seem to connect to csv files on Linux (from th BI server also running on the same Linux machine).
I am using SUse Linux Enterprise server / 10 (Slash 10) standard odbc drivers
My odbc ini file entries are:

The csv files I want to use are in the directory /data/oracle/OracleBIData/idc to which I have set up a working and checked connection ([idcbicsvfiles]) on the linux machine itself.
The error message I get when I select view data in the physcial layer is:

[nQSError: 43093] An error occurred while processing the EXECUTE PHYSICAL statement.
[nQSError: 16023] The ODBC function has returned ans error. The database may not be available, or the network may be down.
Please can anybody give me a clue on how to get this working e.g. a working odbc.ini file from your own installation (and/or a tip for the odbc driver choice/configuration)
P.S. I know this is not supported by Oracle but can not imagine, that nobody is using this.

Issue when accessing standard LM transactions via ITS

Hi,
We are implementing WM using ITS Mobile.
We have developed certain custom screens and also used standard transactions such as LM02 and LM04.We have created a internet service for transaction LM01 and published all our custom and standard screens within the service.
When testing the transactions in R/3 using LM01 transaction..there were no issue...
But when testing the same in ITS....once we enter into a standard transaction like LM02(By clicking the corresponding menu entry) and click on Back button...it must bring me back to my menu( transaction LM01)...instead...my ITS session gets logged off...displaying message...'You have been logged off from SAP NetWeaver Application Server'.
We are facing the same issue when we try to access standard LM transactions via ITS...
I tried to analyze by debugging from ITS....but the flow of R/3 and ITS remains the same...
These are my service parameters..
~THEME     99
~SINGLETRANSACTION     1
~ITSMOBILE     1
~TRANSACTION          LM01
~SOURCES     ZWM_MENU,itsmobile
~GENERATEDYNPRO     1
~POPUPS     1
Did any of you face a similar kind of issue when accessing standard LM transactions in ITS ?
Kindly Suggest.
Regards,
Thyagu.

Hello,
I am also trying to implement WM using ISTMobile, but i have a little problem... when i am in my local network the service works and calls the page in the browser, but when i am in other network it gives me "Could not connect to remote server" (off course).
I undertand that i can´t access my server through other networks... but can anyone tell me if i it is possible to access SAP ITSMobile transactions through the internet?? Is the solution create a VPN network to my local network or something like that?
Thanks a lot.

Price Determination in Sales Order - for a Standard product & Custom Produc

Hi,
The price information is not displaying at Item Level in Sales Order for my own product 'SalesProduct1' and to my custom Sales order (z-TA). However, for standard products (Ht-1000, HT-1010, HT-1100 etc.) the price information is getting displayed successfully in z-TA.
Also, in standard sales Order transaction (TA: Sales process). The price information is getting displayed successfully for both Standard products (Ht-1000, HT-1010, HT-1100 etc.) and for my own product (salesproduct1).
Could you please help me out, how to rectify this problem ie. How can I diplay the price information for salesproduct1 in Z-TA?
I tried to duplicate all the information that is there in standard products like category, sales Area etc, except PR00 price condition to my custom salesproduct1. However, in the place of PR00, I have added 0PR0 price condition and price information.
Still the price information is not reflecting in my custom sales order (z-TA) for my salesproduct1.
I also verifed that the SalesAreas are same for BP, Product org, Product price condition, Sales Order org info.
I also checked that BP the Customer pricing procedure is Standard and for Doc. pricing procedure in Z-TA, TA is Standard.
I also confirmed that in price procudere determination there exists a record that mathces with these salesarea, cust pp, doc. pp.

Hi,
in order to get closer to the root cause of the issue, you might want to make use of the pricing analysis / price trace. Set the user parameter PRC_TRACE = X via transaction SU3. Create an order in SAP GUI and navigate to the item level conditions tab. You should find the button accesses. In the accesses screen you will find details on condition determination and why it failed / succeeded.
Best Regards,
Michael

Please guide me
Thanks

Microsoft uses ODE and DDE. What you want to use is OLE, and as such, I believe you are going to have to do some JNI programming to get Java to work with that interface the way you intend.

Load Balancer for Access Manager

Which load balancer can we use for Access Manager?
Please give me some advice. Thank you in advance.

Jerry,
the doc url u posted has wrong information. See ticket 64634727.
The steps listed in this doc donot work.
I have successfully configured loadbalancing with Sun LB plugin that comes with AppServer.
Here is what I did....
LBplugin(on WS6.x)-----> AM1 and AM2.
LB vip : am-lb.sun.com
am1 : am1.sun.com
am2: am2.sun.com
The steps I followed are :
1. add the LB vip to orginatination-alias,
2. donot add the LB vip to platform as stated in the doc. jst add am1 and am2 hosts to platform.
3. update /etc/opt/SUNWam/config/AMConfig.properties and update only the following attrib. Donot touch any other attrib.
com.sun.identity.server.fqdnMap[LB-vip]=LB-vip
for ex:
com.sun.identity.server.fqdnMap[lb.am.sun.com]=lb.am.sun.com
The doc u listed is misleading and needs to be taken down.
See ticket that I mentioned above. I wasted like 4 weeks trying to get this working and in the end it turned out to be a bad documentation.

1) which SVN for Access dev? 2) alternative for use on peer-to-peer network ?

a - As I understand it typical SVN solutions require a server on your network... true?
b - Which SVN solution should we consider for keeping up with Access development revisions, etc?
c - Is there a solution that will work on a peer-to-peer network?
d - Free alternatives and low coast alternatives are?
thanks for any help.

> As I understand it typical SVN solutions require a server on your network
Sure, “typical” means “many”, so yes. However many others are file based and ONLY require a share folder and thus don't require a server. And then from that shared folder you can often use add-ons to sync that folder to web based systems like GitHub. So
you can "mix" such file only systems and then over time use web based server with that system that does not require a server, but only a shared folder.
>Which SVN solution should we consider for keeping up with Access development revisions, etc.?
Actually, you can just simply “copy” the current version to some folder before you “release” that version. So copy and add a “version” number to the accDB file. If you application is MyInvoice.accDB, then copy to server with MyInvoice-1044.accDB (verison
1044). Since Access is a “single” file, then this works rather well compared to other systems that have “many” files. In fact I copy both the accDB, and the compiled version accDE to a folder on the server (with version number added to the file name as per
above). Thus you can go back to any previous version with great ease.
However, you might be talking about source code control in addition to versioning of software. (often the term is interchanged, but it should not be). Source code control (SCC) is a “common” means to achieve versioning of software, but ALSO allows multiple
developers to work on the project at the same time (collaboration). So there is a big difference between SVN, and SCC.
Access for a VERY long time has supported Microsoft “standard” source code control interface. While Access is a “single” file, Access is able to “logically” view each application part as a separate file. So the fact of “one” file, or “many” files does not
matter – say no more then a zip file is “one” file, but inside there are “many” files! So SCC is 100% possible in Access, and since Access has a resolution down to an object by object basis? Then developers can check-in/out individual forms, query
code modules etc.
Access versions all the way up to 2010 support the “standard” Source Code interface.
So:
Using GitHub you see this:
Using VSS, you see this:
Note that using Git, TFS, VSS etc, they ALL give the above UI with check boxes beside each object, and all give a cool "check in/check out" right click context menu not shown above.
The above Git shot is running in "file mode" without a server. Visual Source Safe is also file based, but VERY old and quote hard to find now.
So the great news is that Access has for a very long tie supported SCC, and thus is a great way to “version” your software. And Access will show you OBJECTS that are checked in/out by you as per above with the check mark and lock icon.
So inside of the access GUI you could with any SCC system that supports the standard SCC interface would know what objects are locked and you not taken ownership of. (note the "lock" and "check mark" icon beside each object.
However, Access 2013 dropped support for SCC. So all of the above cool options are NOT available for 2013.
Since Access is a “single” container, then versioning tends to be rather easy. Just copy the file to a folder with a version number appended to the file name, and you are done!
You not distinguished between versioning of your software, and that of source code control – so it not clear if you looking to just keep versions of your software, or allow team development on your application?
While SCC will give you versioning, it also allow multiple developers to work on the same application at the same time (collaboration). SVN does not necessary give you this multiple developer ability.
As noted, versioning for Access is easy - just copy the accDB (front end) to a folder on the server with a version number appended to the file name. Works quite well. I have a table in the front end with a version number, and a version number in the back
end table. My deployment code reads that version number and copies the files to the server for me.
(It is assumed that you have a split database).
However, if for 2013 you need both versioning and SCC (say to allow multiple developers), then you likely have to roll your own. I would suggest using “save-as text” command to export all access objects to a folder, and THEN use one of MANY source code control
systems that operate on that folder. Such a setup could easily be cobbled together in an afternoon of your time. And “many” SCC systems provide a GUI that is external to the developer tools/environment. This would allow you to use free tools like Git and GitHub.
For just versioning of your software? Then SCC is likely overkill, and if you using Access 2013, then you cannot use standard SCC providers anymore anyway.

Creating 508-Compliant InDesign PDFs for Accessibility

Over the next few weeks my company will be reformatting all of the attachments on our Web site to meet "508" complaince standards for accessibility (a govenment contract requirement). While we are quickly getting a handle on how to create 508-compliant PDFs from MS Word and other MS Office documents, I keep running into problems when converting our InDesign documents. Our InDesign documents (often education posters) are usually more complex than the other standard documents created in Word, which is why we used InDesign to create them in the first place, but I'm having difficulty finding supporting documentation that is detailed enough to help me problem-solve the 508 issues I encounter. Adobe has some basic InDesign "accessibility" information on its Web site, and it offers a document called "Creating Accessible PDF Documents with With Adobe InDesign CS4" that offers a good introduction to the concepts and process. But I just can't seem to find information that is in-depth enough to help me create or modify InDesign documents that don't require endless hours of hit-or-miss fixing in Acrobat. I've checked standard third-party references such as my Acrobat and InDesign "Bibles," but no one seems to go into great depth on using the more detailed screens and options related to creating accessible documents. Are there other resources out there that can help? There must be an Indesign Accessibility Guru hiding somewhere (inaccessible!).

Usually there aren't too many responses to questions about creating accessible files because it's a fairly specialized area. I only know about it in a superficial way.
Chad Chelius has created a Lynda.com video which has the best information I've seen about the subject:
