Requesting thoughts on Documentum, Sharepoint, and CMS with FrameMaker

My company is considering getting a CMS to be used with structured FrameMaker. We now have version 9 but willing to upgrade to version 10. I know that version 10 has the ability to connect to Documentum and Sharepoint.
I would like to know others' experiences with FrameMaker and a CMS...any CMS.
At the present, we work from shared drives, copying all imported illustrations (eps) by reference.
A few years ago I worked at a company that had Documentum. At that time, the writers had to check out all the illustrations and the Frame files to their desktops, copy the illustrations in by reference, make the PDF, and then check all back into Documentum. At the time, the rule was that one could not link to files within Documentum, only file on the desktop.
So, I am wondering if the above is still true. Moreover, how do others handle the need to link to illustration files that are in the CMS without (if at all) checking them all out. We create large manuals (200-300 pages) with many illustrations that are used in multiple manuals.
Any thoughts about Documentum, Sharepoint, or any other CMS is appreciated. I am not looking for dissertations on the subject, just indications whether it can be done and if not, how it is done.
Thanks in advance,
Van

And if anyone is using SDL's Trisoft, I'd love to hear about it, especially
with FM11 and/or DITA.

  • Problem opening documents from SharePoint (2013) libraries with Office 2010 and 2013 components installed

    Hi
    I've been encountering the problem of Office files failing to open from SharePoint 2013 libraries with the prefix of 'ms-excel:ofv|u|' etc. in the url. Following the
    helpful questions and answers in the forum, I've identified the likely cause as the fact that my main Office installation is 2010, but I also have installed OneDrive for Business 2013 (which I need in order to sync document libraries with my local drive).
    The solution I've seen suggested elsewhere of deactivating the SharePoint integration of Office 2013 components fails for two reasons: there is no way (or at least, I can't find one) of deactivating SharePoint integration probably because, deactivating
    SharePoint integration would likely stop the syncing of libraries/folders.
    One thing that I have noticed in my case that I've not seen mentioned elsewhere is that if I right-click a document and select 'open in new tab/window' the required
    document opens directly in the relevant office package. I don't know if this is a useful observation, but it seems to be new information.
    My question is, is there a way I can continue to sync libraries and open Office documents directly in Office 2010? My thoughts are possible changes to registry settings
    (which I can do, but don't know enough to find the correct ones myself) or (re)installation of software in some appropriate order to leave the correct settings.
    I have 'repaired' my Office 2010 installation without any observed affect on behavior.
    Thanks
    Ray
    (I've just seen a suggestion that Office 2010 SP2 may fix this issue. I've requested to test this, but whilst this may fix my problem, rolling it out to
    other users may be more problematic. In the meantime, other suggestions of solutions are welcome)

    Hi,
    According to your description, it is a good way to do a test about office 2010 SP2, here is an article about this issue- limitations of using the OneDrive for Business sync app with Office 2010 applications , it may help you.

  • Has anyone had success using SharePoint and FrameMaker 10 together using CMS?

    Has anyone had success using SharePoint and FrameMaker 10 together using CMS?

    Thanks for reminding to at least update the results thus far.
    Update 4:
    I did get quite a bit of support initially although slowly over a period of a month or so. After Adobe FM support and my SharePoint systems engineer reviewed how FM10 was setup on my computer (which I am the admin for our department’s SP site) and how it interfaces with our SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition, there was two conclusions:
    Basically Adobe FM Support said that FM10 did not support claims-based authentication and they can no longer help me. They said it will work with FM11 when it comes out.
    My SP Systems Engineer, said that FM10 is connecting to SP 2010 just fine but that the FM10 has a software glitch that causes FM10 lose control when executing checkout procedure within FM10. I can checkout and edit that same file in SP with no problems.
    About a month later, I upgraded to FM11 and ran into the same problem. I attempted to get Adobe FM Support to help and they said they will look into and get back to me. That was in July and I have not heard anything more from them, and to be honest, my schedule has been extremely busy the last 5 months that I have not had time to pursue it any further.
    Needless to say, I was very disappointed with the SP interface and, overall, the lackluster support I received from Adobe. Having a working SP interface was one of the criteria for purchasing TCS3.5 (and subsequent upgrade) in the first place.
    One thing of note, we migrated from SP 2007 to SP 2010 in February 2011 and, at the time of Adobe support, I still had access to my SP 2007 site. FM10 and FM11 had to no issues working with SP2007. Unfortunately, SP 2007 is not an option for me anymore.
    Also, another observation of FM10/11 not working with SP 2010, it seems that FM10/11 is automatically configured to work with SharePoint Drafts folder locally when connecting to the SharePoint library. This worked just fine with SP 2007 but SP 2010 does not use SharePoint Drafts folder locally the same way (the programming changed, don’t recall where I saw it, probably when searching this issue online)  and I suspect that is one of the main issues why it does not work correctly.
    So at this time, I have not found a working solution to this problem.

  • Project Pro 2013 and syncing with SharePoint Online 2013 (Office 365)

    Good day,
    I am experiencing some challenges with a Project Pro master project file and syncing to SharePoint 2013 (Office 365).
    What works
    Individual projects can be synced to SharePoint without issue. Once synced, the site start page presents the Project Summary gant, clicking the Tasks link takes me to the tasks. Project files are stored in the Site Assets directory in each SharePoint site
    (one site per project file).
    What doesn't work
    When I create a new project (and sync it to a new site), then add two (2) existing project files that reside on SharePoint and then sync to the new master project site I
    don't see any content in the Project Summary gant, nor do I see any tasks in the task list. I can't figure out if this is not supported or if I've done something wrong. There are no error messages or indicators that I've done something wrong,
    short of the master project projects not showing up on the master project site (nothing in the project summary gant and no tasks).
    Some help would be greatly appreciated. Being able to render a master project is crucial to understanding timelines for many projects in a single view.

    Steven,
    This is by design. Inserted Sub projects will NOT show in the Master Project Tasks list. You will only see tasks inserted directly at the Master Project Level.
    Moreover, if you set up a dependency between Master project Task and Subproject task, then the sync will not work. All in all, there are limitations for this process, which is where Project Online/Project Server needs to be considered.

  • Add button to SharePoint 2013 form with InfoPath and/or SharePoint designer

    Since I am new to working with Sharepoint 2013, I have the following questions to ask you about Infopath 2013 and possibly SharePoint Desinger 2013:
    1. Yesterday I created a custom list in my 'test area of SharePoint' and opened the list in Infopath 2013 to see what the form would look like. Now I have alot more columns and edits to add to the list. I am planning to add more columns to the list when
    I am in my 'test area' and then make cosmetic changes to the form using Infopath 2013. I am thinking that if I continue this way, I may lose some ediut changes I have made using Infopath 2013. Thus can you tell me the best way to add more columns to the list
    and/or modify the existing columns and not lose the edit changes that I made using Infopath 2013?
    2. The infopath 2013 form does not contain any buttons to click. I need a button to show up for every user to click so that a workflow can be started. Do I need some kind of a task list(action)? Thus can you tell me how to add this type of a button to the
    form?

    Wendy, Please go through this video from
    channel 9 (http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/NickDallett/InfoPath-2010-Customize-a-SharePoint-List-Form)  which will uilding froom explain similar form building from scratch.
    As per Peter's replay yes you can update form even after add columns in list and you can add extar control like button to your infopath form.
    Workflows are usually started when creating or updating an item inside a SharePoint document library. 
    Open the workflow in SharePoint Designer and under "Start Options' on the workflow's home page, remove the check from "Start workflow manually...". Be sure the check either "Start on create..." or "Start on change...". In
    your case I think you would use "Start on create...".
    Hope these inputs will help
    Please 'propose as answer' if it helped you, also 'vote helpful' if you like this reply.

  • SharePoint Online integration with OnPremises Documentum

    Hi,
    I need some guidance here.
    We have dedicated SharePoint 2010 implementation in MSO environment. Now I would like to use SharePoint as front end to create an application and the plan is to store all documents (uploaded via this application) in on-Premises Documentum repositories.
    The reason why these documents cant be stored in SharePoint online is because these are the confidential and secret documents. So is there any solution to handle such kind of scenario? Or do we need to go for some third party solution?
    I heard of this EDRSMS connectors provided by EMC but does MSO allow to install these connectors on SharePoint servers?
    Thanks,
    -Prashant

    The only way I see is create a SharePoint App hosted on an application server (logically, somewhere in your environment) that accesses the Documentum repository and provides a UI for it. SharePoint Online also has support for BCS, but I'm pretty sure it
    won't allow you to install custom .NET connectors for Documentum.

  • Infopath 2007 and SharePoint 2007 error with Web Service Submit and Recieve

    I have an InfoPath form with code. The code submits the form to SharePoint and to SQL DB through Web Service. The form has some workflow. When form is in a "New" state if submits to SharePoint and Database through custom web service. Works fine
    from both Client and SharePoint browser form. The database ID is returned to the form and then stored in a field. In second stage of workflow additional fields are shown for Supervisor to fill out. I then have an "update" web service to update the
    database. I set all the field values in the Web service then execute both the update Web Service and the SharePoint submit. I get an error (both if running from desktop or SharePoint) Error is
    "The string '' is not a valid AllXsd value"     
    I know sometimes this happens with dates. But I've got all the dates set. The funny thing is in the first submit there are 2 dates in the second submit there is one date. All are set the same and on the first submit no problem submits correct dates to SQL
    database through web Service. Second submit has 2 Boolean fields that I also default to a value of false. I've debugged and looked at all the values and everything has a value. I use delete NIL to make sure value in Web Service is set. I can save the data
    in the form but not submit it because I get the web service error. If I save the data in form and download it and copy all the values in the XML to my Web Service and invoke the web service works fine. So there is no error in the web service. The first
    submit submits both dates and some integer values. The only difference in second is the Boolean value but it is set to default of false for all checkboxes.  I'm going out of mind trying to see what could be wrong.   Also difference with second
    is it sends in the ID of the record that was set in form by result of first submit query sending back the DB value. That value is an integer but I also set correctly.

  • SharePoint Designer 2013 with SOAP DataSource and Windows Authentication

    I am trying to display a list from another subsite in my Web Part Page using a DataView web part.

    Is there a guide available that talks about configuring this or troubleshooting this? What should I check?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    we are using same laptop with my wife for our 2 iphones and when sincronizing, she's getting my apps and is requested for my apple id and password when getting a new app on her device. How can i fix that issue?

    Each phone needs to set its own sync settings on the various tabs in iTunes.  On the Apps tab, for example, uncheck the apps that you don't want on the phone being synced.  This article may also be of interest: http://gigaom.com/apple/itunes-101-multiple-devices-one-itunes-account/.
    You can change the Apple ID used for purchasing on her phone by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using her Apple ID.  However, be aware that if she has any apps on her phone purchased with your Apple ID she will still be prompted to enter the password associated with this ID for all future updates of these apps.  This is because apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID in Settings>Store.

  • I just paid for what i thought was light room and have ended up with nothing,creative cloud wont open anything.

    wanted light room and have ended up with creative cloud which wont open anything.wth?

    Adobe does not market old version of their products the old downloads are available mostly for old licences users so they can download their licenced products should they need to.  So if you do not have a licence for Lightroom 3.6 after your 30 days trial install expires you can not use it or purchase a licence.
    It would be a good Idea for you to get a new computer with Windows 7 or 8 on it.  I prefer Windows 7.  If you are still running XP though its a good OS and runs on old Hardware that Windows 7 and 8 can not run on.  Its best to turn those old tired machines into network print servers and have nothing of value on them.  For Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft and security holes that are still in XP will not being plugged.  You just inviting the waiting intruders in they will show up it you connect to the web and uses it.
    If you are using old hardware for a modest price you can get a new machine that is more powerful then the one you using.  With wireless devices it nice to have a network printer your current machine will be of no value to anyone.  If you hate the idea on scrapping a working machine a print server may be the was to go IMO.
    If you purchased a Photographer CC subscription you can install the subscription Photoshop CS6 version 13.1.2 that should run on XP with some newer PS features unavailable like 3D any feature the requires a GPU.  CS6 does not support any GPU on Windows XP.   You can do all that LR can do to images and more with Photoshop.  I do not even download Lightroon.  I don't need its library system or desire a second UI over the Adobe RAW conversion Engine.   This save disk space and I don't have to maintain and additional Adobe product and a simpler work-flow.
    Besides CS6 you can install LR 4.4 I do not use LR so I have no ides if it will run on XP.  XP not listed in LR 4.4 requirement.
    found this
    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 does not support Windows XP. This decision did not come lightly and was based on a number of factors. With each version of Lightroom, our goal is always to provide a consistently excellent customer experience. Developing and testing across Operating System versions and platforms to ensure that we’re achieving this goal is a significant effort that takes time and resources. XP is substantially different from Windows Vista and Windows 7, and requires an independent testing matrix, which increases the complexity of our development efforts. Every cycle we need to make difficult resource tradeoff decisions and operating system support competes heavily with new features and performance enhancements planned for each version. The decision this cycle was to end XP support for Lightroom going forward.
