Redlining layers cannot be saved using ECL Viewer

Hi,
I am having an issue saving redlining layers using ECL Viewer. When clicking the save button I get the an error message saying the file cannot be checked in. Storage categories have been setup. User has the correct authorization objects. A category for markup has been defined.
Any ideas on why this could be happening?
Thanks,
Lashan

Thanks Sam. I will check on implementing the note.
I have done further testing on this and my findings are as follows.
1. The error message "Error while checking in and storing:" described above only happens for AutoCAD (*.drw) files.
2. I tried redlining using the viewer for PDF and JPG files in SAPGUI and the layers are created. No issues here.
3. When try the same thing using EasyDMS, the redlining layers are created. However, I am prompted to create a new DIR with *.cgm file. If I cancel this and open the PDF or JPG again the layers are still saved.
Any ideas on why the above is happening? What is the correct behavior for the redlining functionality?
Thanks,
Lashan

Problems using ECL Viewer to display multipage TIFF Files

Hey there!
Maybe someone here may have a good hint due to our problem?
The Situation as it is:
We are using ECL Viewer to display multipage TIFFs.
The Process looks like following:
The first step is to show a list of files situated in the user's personal folder(Network-Share).
Then the user selects one of these Files through a mouse-click -> The File is displayed via ECL Viewer.
Now the user selects the personal-Id where this file should be connected to and selects "SAVE".
The Programm closes the Viewer and saves the Data in SAP Archiv.
>> Everything works fine till here.<<
But now the last processing-step would be to delete this file from the user-folder.
(So next time the users starts it there will be only files he/she has to work on...)
Here an error message is telling us that the file can not be deleted because there s some kind of file lock set...
This problem only occurs only during processing multipage-Tiffs after paging down (swiching to page 2,3,4...) once at least.
Any Idea what's the cause here - or how to get through it?
We are using a CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER objekt as base -> hooked on that is a CL_GUI_ECL_VIEWERBOX and the TIFF itself is displayed wit an I_OI_DOCUMENT_VIEWER objekt.
Maybe we get confused while destroying the "Connections" to the FIle oder something with Automation Queue Handling is not implemented right?
Thanx for any idea, hints, or better practices
Very kind Regards from Austria!

Issue on saving using datasheet view

Hi,
My list contains few mutiple selection metadata columns.
When I edit the document properties using data sheet view, the below specified error is displayed.
"Changes to the current row cannot be saved due to invalid data or missing data in required fields"
This error is displayed even if all the required columns are filled in.
What are the possible reasons for it failing and how to resolve this?
Thanks,
dhijit

This is one of the limitations of Datasheet View, I believe. You'll need to use the standard view to edit the document properties.
Also take a look at https://sp2010batchedit.codeplex.com/, which might help.

Error Library file cannot be saved (using windows vista)

Hello guys,
I'm getting this error when working with Itunes 7 and windows vista
The Itunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
I'm the administrator of my pc and have alreadu authorised Itunes on this pc.
What is the problem ?
Thanks for the help

Thanks anyway Sirius Mac
I'm still trying to see what it can be, very strange that I did not see the message a coulpe of days and sunddenly it's back.

Can one post movies via iWeb which cannot be saved by the viewer?

Does anyone know of a way to make movies on iWeb "view only" and not savable by the viewer of the website? This would enable me to post movies which I want to show but don't want them to have to have access to the file to use as they please.

If someone wants a video, he gets the video...
There's no full protection... One way or another you get all you want... And there are also many tools out there to grab stuff from websites and so on...
However using flash is better than using quicktime under this aspect too...
(Quicktime you just have to save as source and that's it...)
I don't know any way sorry...

ECL Viewer - Redlining in PDF

Hi
I have another issue this time it is with Redlining using ECL Viewer. We are using Seal Systems conversion servers to automatically convert Word documents to neutral file formats at Review status (one of the status in our DIR status network).
We use the neutral file format to do our redlining. Once we are done with redlining we ask the user to incorporate the changes. So user moves it back to previous status and once he finishes changes he brings it back to Review status. At this time conversion servers kick in and automatically convert the existing original document to pdf neutral file format. But in this process it looses our redlines. We want to keep our redlines. So is there a way that we can keep our redlines and not loose them when we run automatic conversion? Please let me know if there is a way to retrieve these redlines back.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards,
Sreepati Hari

Hi,
As per my view it is not possible.
1) The redlining will be a layer above the original PDF file and more over it will not disturb the original PDF or the original file.
2) Whenever you are doing an conversion process, the PDF file will be generated based on the original file and not based on the neutral (PDF) file.
3) The newly created file will overwrite the existing file. so you will lose the redlines and you will have the newly generated file only.
I suggest to go for content revision on that particular status to that you can have the copy of both the old file and new file. This helps you to compare the old and new file created after the changes.

MRK

ECL viewer and Redlining on Web

Hi,
I need a web brower access to some DIR of DMS using ECL viewer and Redlining functionnality.
Do you have an idea?
Regards
Georges

Hello,
In fact, the WebDocument does not inculde the possibility to use ECL viewer.
But I read that viewing with ECL & doing Redlining is possibe via cFolder.
So do you know how to re-use the EAI applet (from cFolder) and include it in a Web Dynpro or something else without using cFolder (<< it is too 'big' for what we want to do)?
Have somebody a documentation about this applet?
Regards
Georges

Redline in SAP document (*.dwg, *.pdf etc.) without ECL viewer Installation

Hi Experts,
We are implementing PLM Customer Collaboration in our Clients' system. Now If ECL viewer is installed in someone's machine, he or she can use Use ECL viewer functionality in cFolders like redlining in the drawing etc.
Now Problem is that though I am providing the Customer Collaboration through web to be used by customers, they can't use the redlining functionality. But, we can't go to every customer's machine & install the ECL viewer in their machine. Do we have any other alternative in SAP to get the redlining functionality without having ECL Viewer installed in local PC.
regards,
Soumen

Hi Soumen,
..Do we have any other alternative in SAP to get the redlining functionality without having ECL Viewer installed in local PC...
I doubt if there are any other options!! At best,what you could do is to enable the WebEx feature in cFolders,setup a meeting with your external partners and do the markup/redlining.

CFolders ECL viewer

Hi Gurus,
In order to support redlining by partners they need to have the ECL viewer installed locally. What is the best way of distributing this viewer to the partners? Is there any licensing involved?
thanks

Rahul;
You have to instal the ECL Viewer in SAP GUI, and in SPRO have to config the viewer of Document Types (1 View, 2 Edit & 3 Print). I used with DMS (Document Management System).
First Install EL Viewer in a Client workstation.
I recommened to use ECL Viewer to view document and use the %auto% to use the software installed in the client machine.

ECL viewer printing format failure (A4- letter)

Hi all,
we are using ECL Viewer 6.0 Patchlevel 5 for viewing and printing CAD Drawings in purchasing, production, QA and so on. We are on SAP ECC 6.0 ( EA-APPL: SAPKGPAD17), and our SAPGUI version is 7.20 Patchlevel 1.
Our designers are using the CAD integration to Solidworks and when they save their work, a TIF file gets created and stored in the same DIR as the original CAD file. The drawing formats are mostly A3 and A4.
Now it happens really often that a user tries to print A4 TIF from ECL viewer which fails, because its sended to the printer in letter format. Since we do not have letter format in our printers, the printout hangs in the printer. All settings and defaults in the printdriver are set to A4, nowhere letter format is set. This seems to be a problem, since we switched companywide to Xerox Printers.
Could this be an issue between ECL-viewer and the global print driver from Xerox which we use everywhere?
Thanks and regards
Martin Schneider

Menu Buttons of ECL Viewer

Hello,
we are going to use ECL Viewer 6.0 for our Invoice approval process (D2-Format FAX and TIFF).
Due to SAPGUI Update from 6.40 to 7.10 we had to get rid of the AL_Viewer, which ist not supported anymore. Now we have some limitations with the handling of the ECL Viewer: There are no Menu buttons, short cuts or hotkey for easy Document viewing control , like zoom, shift, resize etc. These are only available with context menue (right mouse click): Navigation ....
Are there any posibilites of customizing the navigation within the viewer window ?
Kind Regards,
Josef Janetzko

Hi Josef
/*There are no Menu buttons, short cuts or hotkey for easy Document viewing control , like zoom, shift, resize etc. These are only available with context menue (right mouse click): Navigation ....*/
The navigation option is present in the menu option also. But for them to appear in the menu go to options and there u have to select the menu options which you want to make as visible. Pre requisite is ECL viewer has to be installed on the machine.
You can find help on this in sap help->DMS->Function overview of 2d formats-> settings for 2d formats.
