Retrieve comments in Precondition in TS3.5

HI,
when I write comments (with // syntax) in the "Edit/View Expression" field of the Precondition Window of a step (TS3.5), this one is cleared when this window is closed.
I don't have the same comportment with TS3.0 !
Is it a bug, or a new feature of TS3.5 ?
Best regards,
Emmanuel

Emmanuel,
This seems to be a bug in TestStand 3.5.
Thank you for reporting it.
The R&D Team already knows about this issue.
Best Regards.
Antonio Lie.

  • How to retrieve comments from one OfficeTask activity and use them in another OfficeTask activity for Multi level Approval sequential Workflow

    I'm designing a sequential site workflow using Visual Studio 2010 for Project Server 2010. In my case, I have following 6 stages in the workflow:
    1. InitialProposal Stage
    2. Approval Stage1 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members1
    3. Rejection Stage
    4. Approval Stage2 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members 2
    5. Execution Stage
    6. Completed Stage
    Requirement is workflow should move to Approval stage2 from Approval stage1  if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group1and it should move to Rejection Stage even if a single member rejects it.
    Workflow should move from Approval Stage2 to Execution Stage if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group2 and it should move back to Approval Stage1 on rejection by a single member of the group.
    I'm using inbuilt PSWApproval content type and OfficeTask activity for creating approval task for the group members at both stages.
    On task rejected in Approval stage2, task will be assigned again to Approval Stage1 and I want to show comments given by members of Approver Project Security Group2 to the members of Approver Project Security Group1 with this assigned task
    but I'm not able to retrieve comments from officeTask activity.
    My question is where exactly these comments are saved? how can we retrieve them and use them in another officetask activity? If this is not possible then what is the possible solution for meeting above mentioned business requirement?

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for your suggestion.
    By comments field I'm assuming OfficeTask.Comments field. Problem is, this field is always null. I tried accessing this field in CheckExitCondition activity as well as in OnTaskCompleted but in both the cases, it was null only(I wrote comments while approving
    the task).
    I used a code activity within OnTaskCompleted activity and following code for accessing Comments and Description fields:
    public string officeComments;
            public string officeDescription;
            private void TaskCOmplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
                CodeActivity Sender = (CodeActivity)sender;
                Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask ofctask1 = ((CompositeActivity)Sender.Parent).Parent as Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask;
                officeComments = ofctask1.Comments;
                officeDescription = ofctask1.Description;          
    Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong here, I'm very new to Workflows. Also, do I need to set any specific property of officeTask for retriving comments?
    Thank you

  • Retrieving SharePoint Comments from a Pages Library

    Hi,
    I wonder if there is anyway to retrieve comments from a SharePoint Pages library. We have comments enabled in our Pages library and need to create a filter that brings results based on the number of counts of comments. I wanted to retrieve comments initially
    from SPQuery but apparently comments are stored in a social feature database as opposed to residing in the library. I tried fetching the the comments following this
    blog but for some reason the comment count returned is always 0.
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    I have tested belwo code and working fine here. Are you sure that you have comment on page?
    SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate
    using (SPSite esite = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.ID))
    var ctx = HttpContext.Current;
    try
    var sc = SPServiceContext.GetContext(esite);
    HttpContext.Current = null;
    var soc = new SocialCommentManager(sc);
    SocialComment[] comments = soc.GetComments(new Uri("http://siteurl/MyDocuments/Forms/AllItems.aspx"));
    int number = comments.Count();
    catch (Exception ex)
    Log.Error(ex);
    finally
    HttpContext.Current = ctx;

  • Synching comments with Lightroom/Smugmug

    I have been in discussions with a developer at Smugmug about a problem I'm having with the Publish module.  When I publish even 1 new photo to Smugmug, the process first publishes the photo, then syncs comments.  Lightroom takes FOREVER to sync comments. 
    For example, I have a gallery with 46 photos in it.  It's a private gallery, and the person depicted has left comments on about 1/2 the photos.  I am trying to sync these comments with Lightroom, then remove the photos from Smugmug that have no comments, and then change the gallery to public so she can share it.  I started the sync about 20 minutes ago[1], and the progress bar is less than 25% of the way across.  I only have 3 galleries on Smugmug that were Published from Lightroom at this time, and I'm publishing from a Lightroom catalog that only has the last 6 months of photos in it - not my master catalog that has photos going back to 2000.
    There seems to be a very poor method of communication between Lightroom and Smugmug about which photos have new comments on Smugmug.  The Smugmug developer says he is limited in what he can do with the SDK functions he can access.  He writes:
    Unfortunately, I am constrained by the LR SDK in many ways and retrieving  comments is one of those cases. Within the method in LR that requests  comments, I have no access to the publish collection that they are  contained in, so there is no way for me to easily grab all the image  comments for a given album. I know how painful this process is, and I  have tried to tackle the problem from a number of different ways. I have  made some requests to the LR development team to improve this, but I  doubt we'll see anything until LR4.
    I'm quite concerned about his belief that you won't fix this in the current 3.x release.  Please fix this in 3.x!  IMHO it's a really poor business practice to force users to pay you more money (e.g. to pay for an upgrade) to get a fix for serious usability issues in a current program.  Upgrading should be something users gladly do to get new features, not something users reluctantly do in order to get something fixed that was badly broken in the previous release.  The former has been (until now) Adobe's practice, the later has been seen far more often in Microsoft's practice.  Please don't emulate Microsoft's practice here!!!
    jc
    [1]  Is there a log file I can look at to determine exactly how long it takes to sync comments?

    As the developer in question, I'm adding some additional technical info.
    Unlike the majority of other methods related to PublishedCollections in the LR SDK, the method for syncing comments (publishServiceProvider.getCommentsFromPublishedCollection) doesn't actually provide the PublishCollection instance as a function argument.
    The method provides an array of PublishedPhotos for the PublishedCollection, but the LR SDK doesn't provide any way to determine PublishedCollection given a PublishedPhoto that is contained within it.
    Given that there is no way (that I am aware of) to derive the PublishedCollection that these PublishedPhotos are contained within, I have no option but make a single request to API for each image to retrieve the comments, which could result in hundreds of API calls where I could achieve the same thing with a single API call if I had access to the PublishedCollection object.

  • Publish Comments not showing

    Two reviewers, both with Adobe Acrobat X Pro, open the PDF attachment in a shared review they were invited to. One sees the Publish Comments/Retrieve Comments buttons, and the other does not see them. What could be the problem?

    Permissions are one thing.  The comments are kept in an XML file on the server and everyone who participates in the Shared Review should have Read/Write privileges.

  • How to retrieve version and encoding info from SAX parser

    I want to have access to the version and encoding info in a parsed XML document (when using SAX2). Who knows how this works?
    If not possible with SAX2, what other solutions are there?
    Second question: how to retrieve comments in XML files?
    Thanks in advance!

    thanks for answering, but ...
    LexicalHandler is fine for retrieving the comments,
    but does not give me the encoding (specified by
    encoding="UTF-8") and version (specified by
    version="1.0").
    I am feeding my parser with a byte stream, the parser
    resolves the correct encoding and i want to have
    access to this value!!hi , It is unlikely that you will get the encoding and version . This is being addressed by the DOM level3

    Hi,
    We can use SocialCommentManager to retrieve comments by two ways using the URI parameter as key:
    •.GetCount(Uri) = Retrieve all comments;
    •.GetComments(Uri) = Retrieve all current user comments;
    The following code for your reference:
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using Microsoft.SharePoint;
    using Microsoft.Office.Server;
    using Microsoft.Office.Server.SocialData;
    using Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles;
    namespace UserProfileCodes

    SPServiceContext context = SPServiceContext.GetContext(site);
    SocialCommentManager socialCommentManager = new SocialCommentManager(context);
    SocialComment[] comments = socialCommentManager.GetComments(uri);
    Console.WriteLine("Comments for the URL: "+uri.AbsoluteUri);
    foreach (SocialComment comment in comments)

  • Adding Description in Upload Template & Input template

    Hi experts,
    In my project i have a situation where the user wants to Upload the Description also , which is not a Master Data type which keep on changing.
    So the issue is How to Upload the description via Flat file Upload.
    Second is the same Description needs to be there in INPUT Template also which the user wants to input based on the situation so this should be a dynamic field rather than a Static Master Data field.
    I tried inserting Comments option , But here i have some doubts like,
    1. Can i get these Comments in reports as a Column against Each Row i.e
      Customer     sales Region    Order 1    Comment 1  1000
      Customer 2  Sales region 2  order 2    comment 2   2000
    2. I know that when u copy this from Version A to B comments are not copied , Is there any Standard way to copy Comments also.
    Your opinions are appreciated.

    Dear Krishna Chaithanya,
    I will try to answer your question:
    1. Can i get these Comments in reports as a Column against Each Row i.e
    Customer sales Region Order 1 Comment 1 1000
    Customer 2 Sales region 2 order 2 comment 2 2000
    ==> You could retrieve comments data in BPC Excel through EVCOMM() function. Those syntax can combine with EVDRE() function. BPC always keep a history of comment. For example: You sent one comment is "ABC" and then update it, BPC keep two data and you will see the last data into BPC Excel.
    2. I know that when u copy this from Version A to B comments are not copied , Is there any Standard way to copy Comments also.
    ==> Maybe you can find copy comment package which SAP provide it as default and you have to add it manually.

  • Shared Review: Synchronization issues... Help!

    Hi!
    Context:
    We make extensive use of Adobe Acrobat for shared reviews using email attachments and links.
    A couple of writers in the team have upgraded to use Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with others using Pro 9.
    Our shared email reviews make use of an internal web server folder
    Problems:
    During a recent trial using PDFs sent as links, we have encountered a significant number of cases where comments were:
    a) Not visible to all reviewers/initiator.
    b) Visible to the reviewer adding the comment, but not visible to others.
    c) Lost to all users.
    Note, that we experienced the same issues when using PDF sent as email attachments.
    In most instances, we have been able to access the internal web server folder and see the review PDF with associated XML review files, using Windows Explorer or a Web browser. However at times we have also lost review comments, where the XML files were not created.
    We have a number of reviewers that work from various locations and connect using VPN and the local network. In all situations, the Web server folder can be accessed and updated by the user.
    Whilst different connections may cause problems for Adobe Acrobat, we have experienced situations where:
    The Publish button was clicked
    The PDF was closed and no warning was given that review feedback was not saved in the Web server folder.
    Related Issue from 2010:
    In my search for answers, I came across the following entry from 2010, that refers to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3325019#3325019
    Today, I opened a review file with review XML files visible in the Web server folder, however Adobe Acrobat XI PRO did not display any comments.
    However, after removing the contents of the \AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Synchronizer\resources folder,  Adobe Acrobat displayed all comments as expected.
    Solution ?
    I cannot expect all initiators and reviewers to clear down the \synchronizer\resources folder on a regular basis to clear out issues with the files created by Adobe Acrobat.
    Similarly, I cannot expect reviewers to restrict working on shared reviews to when they are directly connected to the office network rather than via VPN.
    The "solution" presented in the above entry suggests a temporary workaround, however, given that the entry was reported 3 years ago with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, I am concerned that this issue continues to persist through to Adobe Acrobat XI Pro!
    Can anyone suggest a more permenant solution to the problems above?
    Just a thought...
    Is it possible and straightforward to switch off the Adobe synchronizer?
    What would be the impact of switching off the Adobe synchronizer?

    Hi there,
    I am having a similar problem, wherein I could not reliably retrieve comments on a PDF for which I was the review initiator. It seemed I had fixed the problem by manually deleting all the resource files. I was able to reply to comments and publish new comments. However, now I am not able to retrieve my own comments, nor can anybody else (other non-reviewers) see the comments I published.
    I am looking at the XML files on our server that hosts our PDFs and there is one XML file that I believes pertains to the comments I made and published.  However, it is empty of comments. I'm pretty desperate to retrieve these comments, as they represent a day or so of work for me and other innocent third parties.
    Is there any other way to retrieve these comments? I have a bunch of deleted "resources" files from last week, I'm wondering if there is any way to force-sync to one of these resource files?  Might the resource files contain my comments?  I can't accept that the comments are just lost in the ether when I was getting "successfully published" messages from Adobe each time I clicked "publish comments."
    Another thing to note:  Every time I open the "_review.pdf" file, the "Welcome Back to Shared Review" screen shows a different server name in the "Review Server" line.  That seems a bit troubling, no?  Is it possible that my XML files are stored on a different server than the server that hosts the PDF file?  In which case I can troll through all of our servers for the XML files that contain the missing PDF comments?
    Help help please help.

  • Can't add additional reviewers to a review using review tracker

    I'm using Acrobat 3D 8.1.7 in Windows XP.
    We love the shared review, but have found this tool to be a bit balky.  Reviewers are able to add their comments and I am able to retrieve them and the server status is fine while I am retrieving comments. However, when I click on Review Tracker and get the window that displays the updated reviews, reviews I've sent, etc., it always shows the server status as not currently connected.  Under Review Servers, it always shows the red button which indicates that I'm not connected, but if that's true, how am I able to get my comments from the reviewers?
    When I select a pdf from this page, I am given the option to email all reviewers or add reviewers.  The email all reviewers works fine, but I'm unable to add a reviewer.  When I click it, I get an e-mail with either a link to the shared review or a pdf as an attachment.  There is a prepopulated message in the body of the e-mail.  However, it just doesn't send, but hangs.
    Can you help me figure this out?
    Thanks.

    I don't know if that is the case here, but it seems like you cannot add an additional email address if it is already in use with an Apple ID - so in case your daughter uses her address with her Apple ID, that is why you never get a verification email. I had the same problem and after a long time I stumbled across this. Why one cannot simply receive an error message informing about this, is beyond me. Would simplify things a lot. Or, alternately, Apple could add that info when you try to add a new address. Details.

  • Joomla Publish plugin

    I am looking in to writing a publish plugin for a gallery component running under the Joomla CMS (1.5).
    I don't know lua, so I'm going to have some learning to do, but my question is has anybody done something similar?
    If so, was xmlrpc or another authentication/protocol system used? Although I undrstand PHP and C++ I'm unsure of the best method to use for remote user authentication and everything else!!!
    I realise I am going to have to write the api for the component (Joomgallery - http://www.en.joomgallery.net ) because none exists, but before I embark on this I need to know the best way to go about this.
    I realise this is a big ask, but if someone has done something similar it will give me a starting point to research, I have never used xmlrpc either so maybe more stuff to research.
    My ultimate goal, to create a plugin that will handle publishing of categories as well as images, the ability to retrieve comments and rankings and ultimately the ability to link to the cart system i.e. retrieve orders to create collections with sub collections of print sizes/finishes of selected images.
    Any insight of where to start, what to research etc would be much appreciated.

    I'm not familiar with Joomla, but I have written plugins that communicate with servers via xml-rpc.
    Download any of my plugins and inspect the code for checking the server for an update - it uses the usual client as master, server as slave, which is the easiest to do.
    I also wrote a system whereby server can be master (client replies to server commands instead of the other way around), and one where both sides were peers (either side could issue spontaneous commands that the other would reply to), but client side as master is simplest (the usual: client issues commands, server responds) and therefore recommended if possible.
    Note: xml-rpc is great once the infrastructure is in place. Although if you only have a relatively small set of things you'll need to do, and don't plan to reuse the parts, and/or talk to foreign servers that also speak xml-rpc..., a regular web-app kinda thing (using url-params) may get you to a working solution sooner.
    If Joomla speaks xml-rpc already, then maybe it's a no-brainer...

  • Which is quicker?

    HI all.im writing a program that is to search an xml file for the different components that can be present, CDATA, elements...etc
    There are two ways im thinking of approaching this.
    The first is creating several threads, each one is responsible for retrieving a different type of node.For example, one thread is responsible for retreving elements, another thread is responsible for retrieving comments and so on.
    The other approach is to have one the one exectuing thread that performs a switch statement on every single component it encounters in the xml file.
    My question is, will the multi threaded approach be quicker?Im not sure because in the multi-threaded approach, each thread will have to travers teh xml file exactly once, and in the other approach, using the one thread and a switch statement, this will have to traverse the file structure once also.
    Many thanks!

    Don't fall for the myth that two threads are quicker than one on a single-CPU machine.i think it's depends on how th ethread is used. For application that perform
    read and writing to/from disk..then, thread would most likely make the
    application faster. Your computer (for single processor..doesn't matter if i's "Hyper-Thread" or not) only run one thread at a time. However, when you make an IO call..the latency time is much greater than if you were reading and writing using RAM. during this time..you thread is block or waiting (forgot which..but i think it's block). if you multi-thread the applicatioin..while you are block, you can perform other task..this in sense, speed up the application.
    a good example is when you ask for an HTML page.. the server may takes 5
    minutes to send you the information (given that your socket timeout is not
    smaller than this time perdiod). while waiting for th eserver response, you could
    be doing something else.
    As for working with DOM....I don't think multi-thread will help you here...since it's
    likely that the DOM is in memory (RAM). Actually..inproper use of thread may
    slow down you application (swapping data to register at context switch if lots of
    thrashing occurs).
    As mention in previous reply. you may wants to consider using SAX parser for
    speed performance. SAX will parse th edocument once, while it's parsing, it will perform a "call back" to the startElement, endsElement, characters, etc..This is where you provide the code to listener for the nodename, values, etc.. Dom will parse the document and store it in memory before the DOM can be used. However, you should not worries about speed performances until you profile you application to determine where the bottle neck is. What type of parser to use should depends on how you use the XML data. worries about this first.

  • Loading comments for members into outline and retrieving UDAs into OBI EE.

    Essbase 9.3.1 and Obi EE 10g(the latest)
    1. I want to load some text info into comments for some outline dimension members from relational database but there is no such option(COMMENTS) in Dimension Buid Properties. Did anybody have a try to do it?
    2. Can retrieve text info from UDA рroperties in OBI EE 10g!(I know there is some option in 11g).
    Example
    Dimension Product
    -Bread UDA:Brown
    -Meat UDA:Tasty
    -Car UDA:Heavy
    I want to see Brown, Tasty and Heavy in OBI EE.
    I can understand whether the Bread Brown or not and whether the Bread Tasty. But I want to get info as written below
    -Bread -Brown 1000
    -Meat UDA -Tasty 1500
    -Car UDA -Heavy 12000

    I can do it in EIS, I took a look in the DBAG for a few minutes, but could not find anything. Usually, though, I assume that if I can do it in EIS, then I most certainly can in a load rule, or some such. Just a question of finding how! I am sure someone knows.
