Question re templates and workflow

I have an elementary question, as I've recently taken charge of a Captivate project in progress. (I will not be doing the Captivate programming).
Is the following workflow possible:
1. Create a template for an on-line course which is composed of 4 modules, each with several lessons, videos and quizzes.
2. Using Captivate, build the course with content (graphics, animations, videos, quizzes).
3. Edit the original template. (e.g. by changing screen-to-screen navigation options, interaction with the LMS, etc)
4. Apply the changed template to the already-built course, and have the course update automatically to reflect the changed aspects of the template.
I am receiving conflicting opinions as to whether this workflow is possible.
Any clarifications most gratefully received.

Lilybiri
Thanks for your (prompt!) response.
This is bad news for our project, becuase I had hoped to get one guy building the slides and quizzes, while simultaneously another guy figures out how to get the course programmed and working on SABA.
Thanks again!

Few questions on Templates and Favorites

Experts,
Few fundamental questions on Templates and Favorites...
1) Can Favorites be shared with other users?
2) Can Templates be transported across systems (Dev or QA or PRD) ?
3) Can Templates be shared across planning area ( Yes, KF names are same across planning area?
Any insights appreciated!!!
Thanks
Krishna

Hello Krishna
1. No, favorites are user specific and are not shared. Templates are.
2. There are no transports in the traditional sense in S&OP. So a Template can't really be transported. What you can do, however, is open a Template in DEV, for example, then log off and log back on - just this time to QA or PRD. This assumes you have the same planning area, KF etc.in each system. Now you can add it to the templates in QA or PRD ... this is how you get it from one system to another.
3. I believe they are not shared between planning areas. If you make a planning area copy, I think they might come over but if you built a new PA2 from scratch, the ones you have in PA1 won't be there. If you want to get a planning view template from one PA to another, you basically follow the steps as in my answer to your second question. Again, for sharing a planning view Template between Planning Areas the attributes, time profiel and key figures you use have to be the same.
Hope this helps,
Jens

Question Slide Templates and importing

I have a template with question slides and I've
saved it as a cp file. I then attempted to import slides and
objects from another project. It appears to be importing, and then
the only slides I have are the originals. None of the new slides
appear. ???

Hi there mfubib
Creating a template is simple. You may create one from
scratch or you may choose to take any existing project and save it
as a template.
To create one from scratch, click File > Record/Create
> New Project... > Other. You then set the size and whatnot
and eventually end up in the editing environment. You then add the
elements that you wish to have in your template. Once your template
looks like you want, you follow what is outlined in the next
section.
To save any existing project as a template, click File >
Save As... and when the Save As dialog appears, click the drop-down
menu at the bottom and choose "Adobe Captivate Templates (*.cptl).
I'm not sure what you mean with "Additional flexibility with
question slide template with Captivate 3". There is no "template"
per se. What we see with Captivate 3 and question slides is that we
may now copy, paste, import and export Question slides. We may also
randomize them by creating question pools and drawing random
questions based on the pool. We may also shuffle answers as well as
customize the buttons used. But that's about it as far as I can
recall. Perhaps if you are able to articulate more about what it is
you are wanting to do, we might better answer the question.
Cheers... Rick

Question on templates and updating linked files

OK I have a master template file. Let's say it is named
a.dwt. I used a.dwt to create another template (b.dwt) that had
more content on it than a.dwt. I would use b.dwt to create a group
of similar looking pages which still had all the elements of a.dwt
but also the additional content of b.dwt.
Now if I make a change to the a.dwt template, all pages
created from a.dwt change except b.dwt. So either I forgot to
create the b.dwt by going to file->new->page from
template->and then save it as a .dwt OR maybe it's not possible
to have a secondary template that gets updated when the first
template gets updated thus causing all pages from the secondary
template to get updated?
Is there any way to go back and make b.dwt update
automatically whenever a.dwt gets updated? The scenario I have
right now is that I have to make certain site changes on both a.dwt
and b.dwt instead of just making the change on a.dwt and that
change flowing into b.dwt and its spawned pages.

Yes, I think that's a possible scenario.

I see. Are you using "mailto:" on each of those forms? This
method of
sending form data is notioriously unreliable, you know? It
depends on a)
your visitor's browser knowing what to do with such a link,
and b) your
visitor's email client knowing what to do with such a link,
and c) your
visitor not being put off by the security alert message that
may pop up when
they click. Nevermind the fact that it fails completely in
public locations
that do not have an email client installed.
Why not do this the right way with server scripting? In that
case you could
have a single page with a single form, and let the visitor
select a name as
the recipient from a list/menu field.

Questions on OCS and workflow

I am wondering whether I can configure the following:
- Can I have multiple views? Example, view documents by Author, Project, Category? Can I customize document
views?
- Can I control access rights on a single document?
- Can I monitor or extract a report on how often a document is accessed?
In addition, I have the following problems with OCS Workflow:
- The Workflow has no default email notification. Documentations indicated that Email Notification has to be configured to work with SendMail. Can Email notification be configured with OCS Mail instead?
It does not make sense to use SendMail instead of OCS Mail.
- Document can be viewed by Workspace members once it is uploaded. What is the purpose of workflow then?
- Document has to be manually submitted for review to initiate a Workflow process. Can this be performed automatically?
- WorkFlow approver is defined by the user. It should have predefined approvers.
- In Workflow notification, Notification Detail provides the URL but does not have a URL link back to the document. In this case, the review process is manual because the approver does not have an easy
way to preview the document.
Are my comments correct? Are there any workarounds?

Roger,
1) The default SPINCOUNT value is 0 (no spinning) for all platforms that are supported today. (At one time we had a default value of 5000 for Sequent hardware, but it has been many years since we supported that platform.) The SPINCOUNT value that will work best for any application depends on many factors, including the number of CPUs on the machine, the hardware platform, and the indvidual application. SPINCOUNT will only be useful when the machine has more than one CPU.
2) /Q logs Q_CAT:1447 after 50 unsuccessful attempts to obtain the semaphore when the semaphore has never been released and reobtained by a different process or the same process during that period. The Access Control List code uses the same rule for logging LIBTUX_CAT:1511. If TMSPINCOUNT is set, then the number of unsuccessful attempts to obtain the semaphore is incremented by 1 only after TMSPINCOUNT spins have been done.
Code for the BB semaphore and the semaphore used by /Domain follows a different rule. This code will log LIBTUX_CAT:5005 or LIBGW_CAT:5010 if a process has to wait for the semaphore for 10 seconds and the semaphore has never been released by the original owner during this time period.
3) TMSPINCOUNT is used for the BB semapahore, AOM semaphore, ACL semaphore, /Domain semaphore, and /Q semaphore. Locking the GTT uses the same BB semaphore that used to lock other tables in the BB.

Ed

Develop Form and Workflow in SharePoint Online and On-Premise

Hi Expert,
I have the question about Form and Workflow in SharePoint Online vs ShrePoint On-Premise
Current Problem : Customer is implemented Form and Workflow in SharePoint Online but they have a problem some features that didn’t work in SharePoint Online. I will have a meeting to discuss Do and Don’t Form and Workflow in SharePoint Online compare SharePoint

Hi MasterBird,
For SharePoint 2013 On-premise, we can :
Comlete control of our environment and data
Supports heavy customization
Keep sensitive information in-house
Easier integration into line of business systems
Full development options for developers
For SharePoint Online workflow:
Workflow 2010 & 2013 are available with Standard and Enterprise Editions without having to install
If using Windows Azure workflow functionality is the same as 2013
Cannot create custom Visual Studio workflows
For InfoPath Form Services you will need Office 365 Enterprise Could Edition or SharePoint Online Plan 2

Work Flow Template and Work flow tasks

Hi,
Work Flow Template and Work flow tasks are the two objects which are found surprisingly in our client system(when we go to PP01/ HRP1000 IN SE16 ).My employer wants to know what these are:
Can any one please tell me about "Work Flow Template and Work flow tasks".
are the SAP Generated?
Can we delete them if we don't need?
Thanks in Advance
Gopi Palleti

Hi Gopi,
Workflow Template and workflow tasks are part of SAP Business workflow.
A business workflow is an executable process embedded in SAP applications that you use to automate business processes.

A question and out CA 'domain controller' templates, and kerbros/KDC in general

Hello All
Can someone please help me with the following question. This may be two questions (so if you think I have to post separately please let me know).
I was reading an MS article called "Active Directory Domain Controllers and Certificate auto-enrolment" which was very helpful but through up some questions too.
for example the article talks about a 'template' called 'Directory E-mail Replication' what is this? in other words we have all heard of MS Exchange for corporate email, but the name of this template seems to suggest 'Domain Controllers' send e-mails to
reach other? (over and above their normal AD replication) or is this template used for sending AD replication data via SMTP rather than RPC (which is something I have never heard of). Can someone please explain the purpose of this template, thanks very much.
Also I want to understand the relationship (if any) between these Domain Controller PKI templates and Kerberos in general (can someone point me to a white paper of good blog article)
For example my understanding at the moment if Kerberos is basically a 'symmetric' key encryption system where by the KDC (Key Distribution Center) take care of administering all these symmetric key pairs, is this basic premise
correct?
I understand (at a very basic level) to concept of Kerberos TGT and TST (ticket granting ticket and ticket service ticket) and the fact the client cannot read the contents of either of these (rather the KDC is the trust anchor and deals with all the encryption
and description of the keys to provide/proof identity authentication, and the client simply presents these tickets)
Hopefully the above is correct (or on the right lines), what I do not understand is how this (Kerberos/KDC) relates to DC's and their 'Domain Controller' templates or how these Domain Controllers use the certificates generated from these templates for encryption
(I presume to encrypt the AD sync traffic, but isn't this done via Kerberos).
Also AD CA is optional component therefore my logic suggests there should be no relation to these Domain Controller templates and Kerberos
As you can see I have some fundermental gaps in my knowleague and would really appreciate someone helping me out here
Thanks very much

Re the template Directory E-mail Replication.
Yes, you are right - these are only used for (optional) AD replication via SMTP, and yes this is rather uncommon. I have only encountered this type of replication in a few environments with very specific - and historically grown - firewall and trust requirements.
Re Kerberos and certificates:
My favorite white paper is this:
Windows Vista Smart Card Infrastructure. See especially the details of how Kerberos is used with smart cards as depicted in Figure 16 and the text below.
When users use smartcards to logon to their computers they authenticate to DCs and DCs authenticate to them. So DCs also need certificates.
See
RFC 4556 for details of how public key cryptography is used to protect the Kerberos protocol.
So in summary certificates are used for authentication and encryption.
You are right that otherwise - if you don't use smart card logon for users - DC certificates are optional and not needed to do default Kerberos authentication.
Another reason DC certificates are often deployed is for allowing LDAP browsers and other management tools to connect to AD via LDAPs.

QPLD Template and Report Question

I have learned that after creating a Query, I choose a Template (original or a user edited one) and create a Report. Then if I Click on the Report, I can now print or preview. To my surprise I also clicked on the Template and then Printed/Preview and I also obtained a result and this was unexpected. What is the Template running, is it the same as the Report? If yes, why do we need the Report?
I find the QPLD a bit confusing despite the training I have done. Any tips how to improve my understanding of this facility?
Thanks a lot
Robert

Hi Suda
This Question is a bit different from my previous points but it relates to my attempt to create a Label layout. so the position now is a s follows. Taken the various tips I have received, I was able to create a modified Template with my Address details in the Repetitive Area0 of the Template. I was surprised to see that I can print out all the records from the B/P table by clicking once on the Template and then go to print. This printed out correctly the Records but without taking into account the full Query.
Next I tried to print out the Report which was created on the basis of the correct template but this did not work and I am getting an INTERNAL ERROR message. I cannot see why and therefore i am trying to understand the difference between the two ways of printing.
I have noticed that in the Report Layout some fileds are Duplicated both in the repetitive Area0 and repetitive Area1. I also see that the Report Layout contains some added Fileds that contain the Query.
thanks
Robert

Best Practice Question - Data Def and Template setup

EBS provides reports and templates. As expected the template did not fit our needs and the data objects did not include all the elements required. I've built custom objects for both (thanks to help from the forum).
Should the templates and data definitions be setup under their corresponding application or under the custom application (ie PO vs XX )?
In my case if I setup the data definition and template under the XX application then all the EBS OAF web pages dont show my new reports. I'd have to also build OAF extensions to show custom reports (seems stupid).
Is there any negative impacts of registering custom data definition and templates under their corresponding applications (like Purchasing, Inventory)? Or is there a better way that I'm missing?

not really. I would make it work by anymeans neccessary. The problem you are experience I've had issues with too.
The concurrent program and has to be the same as template application, same for for the data definition.

May Release: New partner support, Infrastructure updates, Site templates and bug fixes

Link: http://www.businesscatalyst.com/_blog/BC_Blog/post/May-release-New-partner-support-Infrast ructure-updates-Site-templates-and_bug-fixes/
We are announcing a new Business Catalyst release, scheduled to go live on Thursday, May 3rd. With this release, we are continuing our investments in system performance and stability by increasing our web servers capacity, enabling HTTP acceleration to provide faster site loading times, and improving the site creation speed by using pre-generated sites.
On the product side, we have completely revamped our partner support workflow taking advantage of the Adobe support infrastructure and tools, enhanced the site templates workflow for partners, and included lots of bug fixes and improvements. Read through the following sections to get detailed information about this release:
Partner support
Infrastructure updates
Features and enhancements
Issues fixed by this release
What's next
You can jump to the corresponding section by clicking the above links.
Partner support
Updated Help & Support partner experience
Following Adobe ID support, we have upgraded BC support tools (cases, chat, documentation) with standard Adobe tools. As a partner, you can now benefit from the same support tools as the rest of Adobe Creative Suite, and can track your support cases with Adobe BC, Dreamweaver, Muse or Photoshop in a single place.
Partners with more than 100 paid sites will get 2nd level chat support, which includes a higher priority, by default. If you have more than 100 paid sites, but spread across different Partner Portals, please ask support to enable 2nd level chat for you.
Support experience for your Small Business owner clients can now be owned by partners (see below).
Custom Help & Support URL for your clients
As a partner, you are probably already offering various additional services to your clients besides building & maintaining their BC site. Support, tailored specifically to your client needs, is usually one of these value-added services. We are now enabling you to take your Support service to the next level. In Partner Portal Settings, you have the option to set a custom URL for what will open when your client clicks on Help & Support inside Admin Console:
If you have multiple partner accounts, for different verticals, you can specify a Support URL for each of these.
The default Support experience provided by BC for your clients will be updated in a few releases to be similar to the partner support experience. This includes BC-branded support cases and documentation. If you'd like to keep a white-label experience for your customers, please set your own Help & Support URL in Partner Portal.
For more details please read the Improved support workflow and new forums announcement on our blog.
Infrastructure updates
Between our April release and the following infrastructure updates have been enabled
Limited trial sites for free partners – starting with our May release, the number of trial sites a Free Partner can have will be limited to 100. Once the limit is reached, Free Partners that need to create a new trial site have the options to upgrade to a higher partner plan, upgrade some of the trial sites to paid or delete unused/expired trials.
Automatic trial expiry extension - with this release, trial site expiry date will be automatically extended with 30 days every time an admin user logs in the system through the admin interface or through FTP.
Installed additional hardware - we have installed additional web servers on all our data centers, that translate into an increase of the existing capacity with over 70%.
Updated DNS infrastructure - we have improved the DNS resolution for email delivery so that we can increase the rate at which we're sending the system operational emails
HTTP acceleration – all sites static assets are served from a new cache engine (images, CSS and JavaScript files, together with improved headers that should allow the browser to cache them better for a browsing session). This update has been turned on along with our April release, and has made all the BC sites load faster on first and on subsequent loads.
Accelerated site/partner creation – we've changed the way new sites are created for faster speed, pre-creating them and reusing pre-created sites when needed, and have also improved the creation process for new partners, minimizing the impact of new CCM customers on the existing datacenters.
Adobe ID for partners - in order to support an integrating experience between the various Adobe tools a partner may use (Dreamweaver, Muse, Support forums) we have added Adobe ID support for Business Catalyst partner accounts. Starting April 19, partners are asked to merge their current Business Catalyst account with their Adobe ID accounts. For more details about the transition process and FAQ please read the Introducing Adobe ID blog post.
Updated Terms of Use - Along with several other changes in our processes in the past few months, we also revamped our Terms of Use and the signature process by requesting every admin user to sign a TOU. We have completed the rollout for partners, and we might be pushing an updated partner Terms of Use version within the following weeks. For more details and questions about this change, read the New Terms of Use for Business Catalyst blog post.
Features and enhancements
Site templates
To support the increasing number of partners building, sharing or reusing templates to create new sites, we're extending our site templates support from our partner portal with a new template type and improved management support. The update is going to enable partners to mark sites as templates and choose between making them available in Online Business Builder and keeping them private in their partner portal. A template site will not expire and has the same limits as any other trial site.
Based on your partner level, you can create private or public templates using the Site Details screen or the Tools>My Site Template section from your Partner Portal. Standard partners can only create private templates, while Free Partners can only view site templates that have been transferred to their accounts by other partners.
The number of templates a partner will have will be limited and will vary based on partner level: free partners can store up to 5 templates in their partner portal, standard partners have up to 100 site templates while Premium Partners might have up to 200 templates. Paid sites marked as templates are not counted against these limits.
Business Catalyst Partner fixes
While we are really focused on making the Business Catalyst integration into Creative Cloud a smashing success, we are slowly resuming our efforts to deliver fixes that have been requested by our partners. This release includes the following partner fixes:
Improved product custom fields - we have increased the maximum number of characters for product custom fields to 1024 (previous limit was 256); this gives partners and customers additional space to use when working with products
Improved Secure Zone subscribers list - we have added the customer email address in the Secure Zone Subscribers list to enable partners better filter and manage customers
Better experience when exporting data - to prevent customer confusion when exporting data from Mac computers, we have removed the export to excel option and exporting in CSV format by default.
Social plugins integration updates
Starting with our May release, we are updating the social plugins support to require users to get the plugin code from the third party provider and saving into his Business Catalyst website. The module tags and configuration will remain unchanged, but will render an empty tag until the partner or site owner will update the module template to include the corresponding module code snippet from the third party platform provider.
For more information about how you can enable the Social Plugins on a Business Catalyst websites, read the Social Media: Integrating Facebook and Twitter knowledge base article.
Other changes
Updated weekly emails - Starting with our May release, the information in the site weekly emails has been filtered based on the site's plan. For example, webBasics site reports will no longer include the sales report.
Localization - we improved and increased the coverage of the admin interface translations into German, French and Japanese
Site Settings -> Ignored IP addresses has been relocated under Reports -> Visitors -> More.
BC-Dreamweaver integration performance improvements
Development Dashboard has been removed, as it didn't provide a clear useful, ongoing benefit. The information present in the development dashboard has been integrated into our new Help & Support section.
Payment gateway settings - for more privacy and data protection, we have updated the Payment Gateway configuration screens to obfuscate the sensitive login information. Fields that have been obfuscated are now requiring confirmation.
Report abuse badge on trial sites - for compliance reasons, a "Report Abuse" link has been added to the front-end of all trial sites of free partners that don't have any paid sites. When they click the Report Abuse link, site visitors are redirected to a form submission page on businesscatalyst.com site.

What's next
The first item on the what's next list might not be news for many of you, but it's definitely one of the most important milestones this year. The Creative Cloud launch is just around the corner, and Business Catalyst is playing an important role in that, as the publishing platform for Adobe® Muse and Dreamweaver. This launch will capture all our attention within the next weeks as we want it to be our best ever.
We'll start our next development cycle on May 15th, while the next Business Catalyst release is going to be pushed live in mid June. That being said, the following items are already on our launch plan for the next release and a few more will join the list. Please expect an update on our 2012 plans around mid May.
HTTP throttling – all page load and API calls to BC will be protected against attacks, this might trigger problems for API heavy sites. We are looking into enabling this update along with our June release, and will help make sure that a reasonable number of requests will be accepted from the same computer per minute.
Automatic site deletion - Starting with the June release, we are going to start automatically delete expired trial sites and canceled sites. Customers will be notified twice before we are going to proceed with deleting the sites.
Thank you,

In reference to this change in the Custom Reports... Better experience when exporting data - to prevent customer confusion when exporting data from Mac computers, we have removed the export to excel option and exporting in CSV format by default.
What is the customer confusion we are trying to stop here? I've got even more confused customers at the moment because all of a sudden they can't find the export to excel option but know it exists if they log in on a PC?

Missing Workflow XAML Feature Error during site creation from custom template Microsoft.Workflow.Client.ActivityNotFoundException

Hi,
I am using SharePoint 2013 Enterprise with the March CU.
I created a project site template with libraries, lists and workflows and saved it as a template with content. When I try to create a new site using this template, I get the error pasted at the bottom.
I was using SharePoint designer workflow custom activities created in VS2012. I uninstalled those and decided to call a web service directly from SharePoint designer. The workflows work fine inside of the site which I want to create a project template
from. When creating a new site from the template, SharePoint complains about a missing workflow XAML feature.
Do I have some leftover references to the custom features? Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Hi Jerry Choinski,
For your error, It could possibly have something to do with that the workflow did not publish before saving your project site as a template.
The "Elements.xml" file, which is packaged within the "wsp" solution file contains 2 "<File" elements. One file element represents the XAML file, and the other
represents the WF association file. If the WSPublishState value for each "<File" element differ (one has a value of "3" and the other a value of "1"), the error will occur. For solving your problem, please update the WSPublishState value for both "<File"
elements to “3”.
PropertyName="WSPublishState"
Value="3"
Also note that the WSPublishState property is also duplicated within the "MetaInfo" property, so both occurrences should be updated. Then the resulting files need
to be re-packaged into the template.

Digimarc and workflow.

Hello,
I have a question about Digimarc and worflow.
As I am beginning to post my work online in a recently created gallery I have chosen to place Digimarc digital watermarks on my images to add another layer of protection. I have some questions about workflow.
Most of my work is being done in Lightroom 5. Some of the images are edited in Photoshop CS 6 for other effects not available in Lightroom. Here is where I have a question:
After I do all the work I need to do in Lightroom (even when images are edited in Photoshop they are returned to Lightroom) I export the images as JPEG. I then have to open them in Photoshop CS 6 to embed the Digimarc digital watermark. In doing so I am forced to save the image again. In other words the image was compressed when I saved it as a JPEG the first time and is compressed yet again when I save it as a JPEG after I apply my Digimarc watermark. Can anyone think of a way to avoid this ? Is there a Digimarc plug-in for Lightroom that would allow me to avoid this last step ?
Any ideas or suggestions ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi David,
Workflow Task (Organizational object type WF) is Client dependant and the Workflow Template(Organizational object type WS) is Client independant.
Whereas the customer task(Organizational object type T ) is Client dependant and
Standard task (Organizational object type TS ) is Client independant.
Note : Workflow Task and customer task are Obsolete
Thank you

Unable to check-in, check-out and workflow videos in an Asset Library

Hi All,
This may seem like a silly question but I have yet to find anything official about why you cannot check in/out video files in an Asset Library or workflow them. We have an approval workflow in our publishing environment which works great and I'm able to
check in/out and workflow images and even documents in an Asset Library but not Videos. We want videos to go through an approval process as well and I'm not talking about simple Content Approval, we want it to go through an approval workflow but check in/out
is grayed out/disabled and of course we can't workflow the videos.
I take it there must be some reason for this but I haven't been able to find an explanation. Any info you can provide me was to why this functionality is disabled would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Lisa

Hi Lisa, it appears to me that Video content type do not have checkIn/Out feature as it derived from folder CT. You can use document library to upload video using document content type and then checkIn/CheckOut. Hope this helps.
