Remote preview?

DW CS3 - classic ASP
I can't seem to wrap my head around this.
I have been working locally, manually entering data in a database and previewing all pages in a browser before uploading to the server (database included).
I'm rebuilding my site with the goal of leaving the database on the server and allowing users to insert data that will be screened and approved by me (the administrator). I will also be adding data to each new record prior to approval.
Since the database will reside on the server, I will obviously lose my preview capabilities of this dynamic content, correct? Is there any way to preview how remote dynamic content will look in a webpage prior to publishing??
I'm guessing not.

I really do appreciate the suggestions and will look into them. I do think I'm miscommunicating my thoughts to some degree, and it's very hard to explain in words alone. My site is a small nonprofit service I provide for my local community. Using the tools I already have should really be sufficient for what I'm doing. I just don't think I'm explaining myself well. Switching to a new applicaton and the time it takes to learn seems drastic just for this small issue I'm trying to convey.
I think one of the mistakes in my explanation was using the word "users" intended to mean public users, not associate users. I am the only person that manages my site. No one else needs to access any files or will be making changes to any part of the site other than me. So from that standpoint, CMS would not be useful.
Though I'm certainly no expert in ASP or any other language, I did create my website from scratch and continue to build a dynamic and functional environment for both myself and my viewers. I'm constantly learning and would like to believe that I just keep getting better at it.
I believe my issue was entirely too small to post in this forum, and I'm positive I can remedy it on my own. Thanks again for your input!!

Encore Remote Preview Buttons Not Working in Preview Mode

I have had this annoying problem on several ocassions and it's back again. I have never been able to figure out what causes it.
When in the prview mode to test the DVD compliation to see if the remote buttons will change between the menu buttons I created, I am unable to select any of the three buttons in the menu with the remote selector at the bottom of the preview window. I am able to select them with a mouse click but not with the remote buttons meaning that when the DVD is built, a real reomte will not change the titles that are associated with each button.
What can be causing this to keep happening. The compilation in Encore is a linked composition form Premier CS4--both Encore and Premier are CS4.
Please help please.
Thanks!!

I know this post is old, but I found it as I am having the same issue. Encore CS5. I have a menu that I have 9 buttons layed out, near the bottom, and the previous/next and main menu buttons are near the top. The 9 on the bottom are each numbers 1-9. However when I preview it starts at 1 then pressing right arrow does not jump to number 2 but #11, the "next" arrow button on top of page.
I will post a screen shot with buttons 1-9 hilighted, showing they are not touching, and the button routing turned on.
Any thoughts?
I guess I will make a new menu and see if I just need to reuild it.

Not able to set up the preview server

I've referred ATG documentation for preview server setup, tried to set up the preview on BCC.
Please find the steps I've followed to set up preview.
1) Added the store module t as a required module to the versioned module, so that my versioned ear include all the pages of preview in my versioned EAR.
2) Added the 'preview' layer to the runAssembler while creating the build.
3) Created the preview configuration files as mentioned below.
PreviewHost.properties
==============
$class=atg.service.preview.PreviewHost
hostName=localhost
port=8380 #port where my BCC is running
PreviewManager.properties:
=================
$class=atg.remote.commerce.assetmanager.preview.service.MerchandisingPreviewService
# Explicitly sets the document.domain property in both the BCC page
# and the preview page to "oracle.com"
previewDomain=localhost
defaultPreviewUserId=123456 # This is existing user profile id.
PreviewPath.properties:
==============
$class=atg.service.preview.PreviewPath
# Explicitly sets the document.domain property in both the BCC page
# and the preview page to "oracle.com"
defaultPath=/myAppContext/
PreviewURL.properties:
==============
$class=atg.service.preview.PreviewURL
name=PreviewURL
host=/atg/dynamo/service/preview/PreviewHost
path=/atg/dynamo/service/preview/PreviewPath
types=ProductCatalog=product|category
PreviewURLManager.properties:
===================
$class=atg.service.preview.PreviewManager
previewURLs=/atg/dynamo/service/preview/PreviewURL
4) Now created the Ear with the required modules for versioning and preview.
Application is starting without error, but when I access my application at "http://localhost:8310/myAppContext" I'm getting the following error.
HTTP Status 403 - An attempt was made to preview a project without logging in as a user with access to publishing assets. If you are running a local preview instance, the preview URLs registered with the PreviewURLManager may be misconfigured. Ensure that the preview URLs are configured with the same host and domain name used to access the BCC server. This preview request URL is: http://localhost:8380/myAppContext/. If you are running a remote preview instance, the Preview feature does not support remote preview on servers running the BCC. Ensure that the remote preview instance is not running any of the BCC related modules. If you received this error and did not try to perform a remote preview, then you may need to disable preview in the current web application by setting the atg.preview context parameter to false in the webapps web.xml file.
Note: I've enabled the preview for my versioned and non-versioned applications.
Can anyone suggest me what went wrong in my configuration?. Please provide the steps you have followed to set up the preview for your application.
Your help is very much appreciated.

Launching a Preview Session Outside the ATG Business Control Center

I have setup a remote preview server on ATG 10.1.1. Everything works great when viewing it inside the BCC however I’m wondering how to access the preview server outside the BCC. According to the ATG documentation, it sounds like that’s possible. The ATG docs state:
“Users can preview project asset changes outside the framework of the Business Control Center. For example, you might want employees or outside reviewers who do not have access to the Business Control Center to evaluate changes to a Web application while it undergoes development. In this case, you can enable preview on servers that do not have the Business Control Center installed, then give reviewers URLs to the launch pages on these servers. They can invoke these URLs from any browser window.
Note: Users who are not logged into the Business Control Center can invoke preview sessions only with URLs to a server where the Business Control Center is not running. In order to avoid security breaches, URLs to preview sessions on the Business Control Center server are blocked.”
This is the only information I found in the documentation that talks about viewing preview outside the BCC. Based on this limited information, there are a lot of questions I have about how this actually works.
1. Any attempt to hit any page on my remote preview server outside the BCC, I see the following exception:
“ERROR [PreviewProfileRequestProcessor] An attempt was made to preview a project without logging in as a user with access to publishing assets. If you are running a local preview instance, the preview URLs registered with the PreviewURLManager may be misconfigured. Ensure that the preview URLs are configured with the same host and domain name used to access the BCC server. This preview request URL is: http://localhost:8280/sample_catalog/index.jsp. If you are running a remote preview instance, the Preview feature does not support remote preview on servers running the BCC. Ensure that the remote preview instance is not running any of the BCC related modules. If you received this error and did not try to perform a remote preview, then you may need to disable preview in the current web application by setting the atg.preview context parameter to false in the webapps web.xml file.”
I am not running the BCC on this instance so I’m not sure why I am seeing this. Is there something configuration I'm missing here?
2. I don’t understand where these urls would come from that a reviewer would use to preview the application. There is no "remote preview url" when previewing a page from within the BCC to copy and send to a reviewer so how would a BCC user send a url to a reviewer?
3. Assuming the reviewing knew which page to hit in the remote preview server, how would that page use the assets from a project? Should the project id of the project be include as a param to the url?
- Michael

Shaik, if only it was that simple :( Do you have much experience working with remote preview or are you just guessing here like I have been? In order to help clarify my post though, here is the scenario that describes the basis for my questions:
A business user is working on a project within Merchandising of the BCC
1.     The user makes a change to a category
2.     The user clicks the Preview Button on the tool bar
3.     The system displays the Preview launcher screen
4.     The user selects a pre-configured profile user and page for the preview session
5.     The user clicks the Flexed based launch button
6.     The application displays within the context of the BCC browser/tab
7.     The business user would like to send that url to a reviewer who does not have access to login to the BCC
What happens from step 6 is that a giant iframe launches from within the context of the BCC browser/tab. If you are using remote preview, it is still an iframe and still displays within the context of the BCC browser/tab, the only difference is that the BCC is proxying information to the preview instance in order to initialize the preview session to display the application in the context of the business user’s project. The url the user sees in the browser is the url for the BCC, not the remote preview server. Because the UI for Merchandising and Preview is built using Flex, there is no way to click on the Preview button to open it up in another tab or browser. The only way your suggestion would work is if there is a way to configure the Flex UI to have it open up preview in a new browser/tab which I doubt is possible.
I hope this helps better explain my post. With that said though, this brings me back to my original questions.

DVD training presentation

Hi All...my client wants me to put together a training DVD which allows them to manually work through slides. Okay this part is easy. Create a photo slideshow, set the transitions to Manual. Done!
Not so fast...every couple of slides they want to have a movie/animation play.
I can't seem to find a way to have a couple of static slides, then a video, then a couple more static slides, etc, which automatically pause, then can be manually advanced to the next section.
I am happy to create the whole thing as one movie, with many chapters, but i can't work out how to pause the movie at the end of each chapter??
I think that this can all be done using DVD Studio Pro, but I can't afford to upgrade both my computer and my software!! (although I wish I could..ha ha)
Any ideas??

Hello agun01,
while I second the opinion that DVDSP is much more flexible and powerful, there is another option to create an "auto-pause" DVD. Using the allmighty myDVDedit (http://www.mydvdedit.com), you can modify certain parameters of a created DVD.
I would proceed as follows:
• create the slides and movies you need, then put them all in sequence in iMovie
• create a slide that says "press forward to go to the next chapter" and place the slide in the timeline at each point where you want to have a break.
• place chapter markers at the end of each "break slide" (the one with the instruction)
• create an iDVD project and import your movie without creating a chapter sub-menu. Create a disk image.
• extract the VIDEO_TS folder from the disk image and set permissions to "read & write".
• open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit and select the main movie (VTS1) in the left-hand pane.
• underneath the preview window select "Cells". This will show you the chapters in your DVD. Expand the view for each chapter by clicking on the little arrow on the left and set "Still Time" to infinite. This will pause the DVD at the end of the chapter until someone hits the forward button on the remote
• preview your work with DVD Player, then save and close myDVDedit
• set permissions back to "read only" and create a new disk image using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
the process described is basically nothing else than what you would do in DVDSP, only that you do it in "post production" - and that myDVDedit is free
hope this helps

Invalid login with rest functionality user

Hi all.
Following the "Web Services and Integration Framework Guide" for ATG 10.0.1 part III, I create an internal user "intRestUser" with BCC giving him the same roles of "admin".
After, io defined under my localconfig atg publishing server /atg/rest/security/restSecurityConfiguration.xml
<rest-security>
<default-acl value="Profile$login$intRestUser:read,write,execute"/>
</rest-security>After, I started JBoss server, switched the /atg/rest/processor/RestSecurityProcessor allowAccessForUnsecuredRepository to true and tried the following things
1) a snippet of JavaCode
public class TestRestCalls {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          RestSession session = RestSession.createSession(myIpaddress, myPort, "intRestUser", "pwdRestUser");
          if (login(session)){
               try {
                    RestResult result = RestRepositoryHelper.getItem("/atg/commerce/catalog/ProductCatalog", "product","6137329", null, session);
               } catch (RestClientException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
     private static boolean login(RestSession session){
          boolean result = false;
          session.setUseHttpsForLogin(false);
          session.setUseInternalProfileForLogin(true);
          try {
               String loginStatus = session.login();
               if(loginStatus == null || "null".equals(loginStatus)) {
                    session = null;
                    System.err.println("Login Failed");
               }else {
                    result = true;
                    System.out.println("Login Successful");
          catch (Throwable t) {
               System.err.println("Exception: "+t.getMessage());
          return result;
}It goes into exception at session.login() with this message:

In this case I've in Jboss console

to perform a remote preview, then you may need to disable preview in the current webapp by setting the atg.preview context parameter to false in the webapp's
web.xml file.3) I login with my intRestUser into BCC Home and after re-try step 2)
In this case in console I've an exception

...4) Finally I login with my intRestUser into BCC Home and after I call a rest service url directly as for example
http://myIpAddress:myport/rest/repository/atg/commerce/catalog/ProductCatalog/product/6137329
In this case it works.
So, the BCC login bypass the direct authentication by InternalProfileFormHandler but only using the same browser session.
So, the question is: why the java code or url code authentication don't work?
Thanks in advance

simplified restSecurityConfiguration.xml

I'm also experiencing the same issue. Seems like the problem is related with the Preview functionality. If I remove preview, the error goes away.
Anyone knows a way to have this working with preview enabled?

Unable to install Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 Release Preview on RTM 8 Enterprise

Unable to install Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 Release Preview on RTM 8 Enterprise
Standalone installer available here
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28972
fails with error code 0x80004005
Is this because my installation has issues, or would the admin pack files be updated for RTM?
Thank you in advance for any insight

Found the solution here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itprogeneral/thread/6d8745e0-c4c1-463a-b4bb-09f6c9c22527
Workaround:
Download the RSAT package intended for Windows 8 Release Preview: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28972
Extract the .msu file with a tool such as 7-Zip.
Open an Admin command prompt and change directory to where you extracted the .msu.
Run the following command to install (if x86 you probably have a different .xml filename): pkgmgr /n:Windows6.2-KB2693643-x64.xml
Wait a while. You can look in task manager for pkgmgr. When it disappears, the installation is done.
Use the tools as per usual.

Cannot preview locally, only remotely

I'm sure there is a simple answer to this; I just don't know it:
I want to preview pages locally before I publish. However, none of the graphics show up when I save to my local site then Preview in Browser, and the hyperlinks don't work either.
• I have site preferences set to "links relative to site root."
• When I look in the Properties of a particular graphic, it shows Src as "/images/navbarnew/STIcon.png" (/images is a folder in the root), but nothing shows up in the browser.
• Likewise when I try to follow a hyperlink while previewing locally, I get an error message "cannot be found." Here is what appears in the browswer window after clicking the link: "file:///smarttime/index.html" (the correct location, on the web site, would be "[url.com]/smartime/index.html" Apparently, the link is being saved local to my file system, not to the site root. Why is this? (Maybe I created this page before I saved the preferences?)
• Here is the actual HTML:
<td><a href="/smarttime/index.html" target="_top" onClick="MM_nbGroup('down','group1','smarttime','/images/navbarnew/STicon-down.png',1)" onMouseOver="MM_nbGroup('over','smarttime','/images/navbarnew/STIcon-over.png','/images/n avbarnew/STicon-owd.png',1)" onMouseOut="MM_nbGroup('out')"><img name="smarttime" src="/images/navbarnew/STIcon.png" border="0" alt="SmartTime" onLoad="" /></a></td>
So clearly the links (graphics and hyperlinks) work fine remotely. Maybe something with my browser settings?
Thanks in advance!

If you are using links relative to the site root, you need to use the option to preview using temporary files. Go to the Preferences panel (Edit menu on Windows, Dreamweaver menu on a Mac), and select the Preview in Browser category. Select the option to preview using temporary files. This will display your images correctly and allow you to follow links.
Alternatively, you need to set up a local testing server.

Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in preview.

Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in encore preview. This only happens for a Blu ray project. When a user presses the menu button it should go to the previous menu they were on but it goes to the main menu. When they press the title button they should go to the main menu but it doesn't do anything. My DVD projects work as expected.I've tried creating a new "test" project with different footage and still get the same undesirable results.
Overrides grayed out and set to "not set" for timelines and menus.Project settings and build are set to blu ray. Also I've noticed when I preview a Bluray project the preview window shows a red colored disc next to the Title button when viewing the timelines and green when playing the menus but not so for a DVD project it displays red if motion menus and or timelines are not rendered/encoded. I'm not using motion menus and all the media is encoded according to the project specs.
I've searched this forum but couldn't find the answer. Any help or redirects to a solution would be appreciated. Working with CS5. Thanks.

I found out on my Samsung Blu ray player the remote has a tools button on it that brings up audio, angle, chapter selection etc.and also title selection which is actually the menus and the timelines unfortunately. It's not as easy or direct as last menu selected but it's a workaround at least. I also plan on using a pop up menu. I'll let you know.

No remote image preview in CC

I updated to Dreamweaver CC and none of my remote image's will preview in design mode. They only work in live mode.

I would try clearing the DW Cache file and see if that has any effect: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
DW seems to have always had intermittent issues with displaying external files in Design View. The official word from Adobe has been "it degrades performance so we suggest turning off remote file display" which obviously isn't much of an answer when you're making html emails and the like.
Others have essentially given up on getting it to display external files and use local versions of the images, then before upload, they do a quick find & replace to add in the absolute path to the online versions. It's probably not a great answer for you either, but it would allow you to continue working.

DW is previewing locally instead of remotely

When I use the "Preview" drop down to choose what browser to preview my file in, Dreamweaver isn't going to the server to bring the file up in the browser. It is pulling the local file so that on my .asp pages where i am using include files, they won't appear correctly in the browser.
When i click that preview drop down, it no longer asks me if I want to update the file on the server to preview it.
How do I get this back to the way it was, and do you have any idea why this might have changed in the first place? I don't remember changing any settings, but I may have and didn't realize what I was doing.
I am using DW from CS5 on OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
tia!!!
Jd

Ok, I found the answer. Please note, I have never previously defined a testing server in DW, so I have no idea what or how this was changed, maybe it was a DW update, or an OS update, or a change in our network that caused DW to detect that a setting needed to be changed - I am completely clueless...
Anyways, when i go to the Manage Sites dialogue box, choose a site, click edit, and then select Servers, i turned the checkmark on for Testing as well as Remote. And Wa-la!!!! - DW is back to previewing the way it used to.
I had to go and do this across all of my sites, and they are all working successfully!
Thank you to anyone who put some effort in on my question. I truly appreciate your help, time and efforts. I hope this post helps somebody else along the way!

LR5 Smart Preview Portability Question : Can files be edited remotely?

I understand how Smart Previews work. What I'm unsure of is...will we be able to edit these files remotely, separate from the host computer? For example, I'm an image editor and I live 500 miles away from the photographer that I work for. Can they (the photographer) download the images after shooting, create Smart Previews then send me the 'Smart Preview' folder of images, I edited them on my own computer then return the Smart Previews back to them fully edited?

You don't actually edit smart preview files. Meaning: you edit the photos in the catalog, it's just if they have a smart preview they don't need to be online. In other words, the smart previews are tied to the catalog, and exist in it's bowels - edits are never stored in them, and you can't detach them from the catalog and do things with them, like send them to somebody. If you edit an offline photo by way of it's smart preview, the edits are stored in the catalog and/or the xmp of the photo, just like if you'd edited the actual photo.
So what your photographer would have to do is send you a catalog which includes smart previews, and you would return an edited catalog to them (without the smart previews), to import .
eh?

Cannot preview remote image in design view

Hi,
I am using Dreamweaver 2004 MX and has just inserted an image referencing to a remote server.
However, Dreamweaver is unable to preview the image and only a small gray box can be observed.
I can preview it when the page in browser.
What's wrong with my DW?
Thanks

I'm not sure whether Dreamweaver MX 2004 has the ability to display external images in Design view. In Dreamweaver CS4, you turn this feature on and off by selecting Commands > Display External Files. If that option isn't available on your Commands menu, it means your version of Dreamweaver doesn't support the display of external files.
Unfortunately not, David. Handling external links was not introduced until DW8 (one after MX 2004).
Commands > Display External Files was introduced in the 8.0.1 updater for DW8 to enable this new (at the time) feature to be switched off.
