Setting "article access" parameter in sidecar.xml

Hello.
It must be to be possible to set "Article access" setting in sidecar.xml as <articleAccess>Protected</articleAccess>, (or whatever there must be instead on Protected).
But in practice this setting does not have any effect. The "article access" setting does not change.
Why?

Protected should all be in lower case.

Access parameter from web.xml

<servlet>
<servlet-name>serverText</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>abc</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>serverParam</param-name>
<param-value>parameter</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
Hi, above is what i defined in my web.xml.
i want to know how to get the serverParam from my jsp file.
i tried to use String param = pageContext.getServletConfig().getInitParameter("serverParam");
but i got null.
please help me.
thanks

hi,
well all jsps are compiled to servlets before running anyway, well if you using a jsp you can still do the
String param = getInitParameter("serverParam");
you could do this in the jspInit method
public void jspInit()
String param = config.getInitParameter("serverParam");
// config is the implicit ServletConfig object
The getInitParameter method is actually defined in the javax.servlet.ServletConfig class, the ServetConfig object is available as an implicit object by name config in a jsp page with page-level scope). well hope this was useful.

Preserving a field's value on changing the field access parameter?

I have a form that has a number of fields that are set to "protected" and have calculation scripts on them. If the user selects a specific radio button option elsewhere, the form sets the .access parameter to "open" and disables the calculation so that the user can enter whatever they want into those fields. The problem arises when the user imports XML data via Acrobat. The radio button choice is made (since it is bound to an element in the schema), but when the form changes the access parameter of the fields to "open", it fires the calculate event on the fields and we lose the value assigned to those fields from the imported XML.
Is there any way to preserve the fields value when it changes from "protected" to "open"? Here is an example PDF w/ XSD.
The more I dig into this the more I think this might be an issue with calculate.override not disabling the calculations on a field, even when it is set to "open" - at least until the user manually edits that field.

Ok, worked out a solution. It's specific to my application, but maybe someone else will get something out of it. What I did is moved the calculation script from the field I am changing the access parameter of (call it "Field A") to the fields that feed into that field (call them "Field B" and "Field C"). Now, when the user triggers the exit events on B and C, each one fires a script that updates the value of A. For my application, this works only because B and C are hidden from the use if they toggle the radio button allowing them to manually enter A.
Basically, instead of A pulling values from B and C to calculate it's value, B and C check each other and push values to A.

Why I can't import the sidecar.xml anymore?

For more than 1 year I used sidecar.xml generator for write the titles of the articles and the export/import in every different size of each issue of my magazine. To import I chose "import multiple articles" and chose the sidecar.xml folder.
Now with the latest update this seem don't work anymore and it's a HUGE problem for me and I think for many others. I read about this new path-based sidecar.xml files but I don't need it, I want to use the old way to import my xml that worked fine.
On your release notes: "There are now two different methods for using sidecar.xml files to import articles. The classic sidecar.xml workflow is still supported—the sidecar.xml format and workflow remains unchanged." and then why I can't import anymore the sidecard generated from sidecar.xml generator?

Hi Bob，
I’m Tyler. I have the same problem of ‘can’t import the sidecar.xml’.
I did some work as the metrosur provided on the top:
• Write the titles in the xml files (manually or using sidecar generator)
• Copy the xml file (without folder) in the main folder with all other indesign folders
• Upload all directly to Adobe servers
But there was a new issue happened that can’t order article automatically
Could you give me some help about a few questions？
1) I saw your workaround in comments, but I can’t try this way for the moment.
I want to ask that can solve this order problem?
2) Do you know what time is this problem will be resolve because it’s very important to me.
When this issue resolved, can you announce it in the comments or others？
I would very appreciate for your help.

Not able to import the article with sidecar.xml

Hi,
With the new DPS version (ver. 18), we are not able to import the article with sidecar.xml. Could you please check and suggest the solution for the same.
With Regards,

I read that your sidecar needs the author-value to be working.

V18 : can't import multiple articles with sidecar.xml ?

Hello,
I have successfully upgraged to v18 (tools and folio panel).
Now, I can't import multiple articles if there's a sidecar.xml file.
If I remove the sidecar, it works.
Do you experiment this problem ?
Thanks

Update articles loaded with sidecar.xml file

I've used a path-based sidecar.xml file to load a folio, which worked great. Now I've made fixes on the files and want to Update them, but I get an error message when I try. I also tried to "Relink" the files, which has worked in the past but now doesn't. I have alternate layouts for iPad and Retina versions, and the sidecar is set to select the Retina layout. Has the v32.1 update changed anything about this? Is there a workaround?
Thanks, Beth

Path-based sidecar.xml adding more articles to folio

Hi -- I've created a path-based sidecar that works great. Now I want to add more articles to the folio. How do I do that? If I upload the whole works again through "Import using sidecar.xml," does it write over the existing articles? If I "Import as single articles," the new content, how do I get a new sidecar file in there?
Thanks!
Beth

Hi again Tomek -- I'm back on this project and have failed at using your technique to upload a new sidecar.xml file after adding another article to my folio. I updated the xml, and moved it into a folder as instructed. That folder had no name for my first try, then I tried naming it sidecar.xml. Neither worked when I went to the Builder, selected Import Multiple Articles and picked just that folder. I got the attached error msg. I must be doing something wrong.
Update: Since I'm using path-based xml, I had to edit the code to have it update the meta and NOT load the articles again. I found this in the Help pages for v31:
To update metadata in existing articles, edit the sidecar.xml file, insert the <metadataUpdateOnly/> element immediately after the <sidecar> element, and then import the sidecar.xml file using the "Import Using sidecar.xml" option in the Import Article dialog box.
It worked. Also, the xml file is NOT in a folder by itself. Thought you'd like to know.
Thanks anyway! Beth

Statements in sidecar.xml

Hi.
Can it be possible, that, when importing multiple articles, builder panel is ignoring statement
<smoothScrolling>never</smoothScrolling> in sidecar.xml?
Every article get labeled as smoothScrolling --> Horizontal Orientation in Adobe server, but i have set that to never in sidecar.

My horizontal orientation pages are 1024x1370px in size.
I can set smooth scroll off in DPS server individually on every article.

Sidecar.xml and horizontal scrolling

Just followed the documetation and just uploaded a folio with a sidecar.xml file with
set to never and set to true. This should have set the articles to Horizontal swipe only but it never. I had to go into the folio producer tools and set it there. Am Idoing something wrong?

Christian,
the syntax for using the "horizontal scrolling only" feature in a sidecar
file is
it can be "true" and "false".
You mixed up with the values for smoothscrolling articles, wich can be
"portrait", "landscape", "always", never.

Set and get parameter id

Hi,
I need to store one variable value and I need to retrieve the same variable value in same program. For this I have written set and get parameter ids in the same program. It is working fine but if I log off the system and if I logon the system it is not working I mean before log off the variable is showing some value if I log on again that variable is showing empty. But I want to capture the field values after log off and log on also. Is there any other option can I use table?
Please help me I will give points.
Thanks.

Hi
SAP memory is a memory area to which all main sessions within a SAPgui have access. You can use SAP memory either to pass data from one program to another within a session, or to pass data from one session to another. Application programs that use SAP memory must do so using SPA/GPA parameters (also known as SET/GET parameters). These parameters can be set either for a particular user or for a particular program using the SET PARAMETER statement. Other ABAP programs can then retrieve the set parameters using the GET PARAMETER statement. The most frequent use of SPA/GPA parameters is to fill input fields on screens
SAP global memory retains field value through out session.
set parameter id 'MAT' field v_matnr.
get parameter id 'MAT' field v_matnr.
They are stored in table <b>TPARA</b>.
ABAP memory is a memory area that all ABAP programs within the same internal session can access using the EXPORT and IMPORT statements. Data within this area remains intact during a whole sequence of program calls. To pass data
to a program which you are calling, the data needs to be placed in ABAP memory before the call is made. The internal session of the called program then replaces that of the calling program. The program called can then read from the ABAP memory. If control is then returned to the program which made the initial call, the same process operates in reverse.
ABAP memory is temporary and values are retained in same LUW.
export itab to memory id 'TEST'.
import itab from memory Id 'TEST'.
Here itab should be declared of same type and length.

How to include input user parameter values in XML report output?

How can i include input user parameter values in XML report output. I a have a report which can be run by providing start date and end date. I would like to include value of these parameters in XML output to enable me to figure out dates for report, just by looking at XML output.
Rgds,
manish

I think all the XML attributes can contain lexicals. If you bring up the property palette against the report object you can just set the following:
XML Tag Attributes: myParameter="&<P_1>"
where P_1 is your user parameter.

How do I create a sidecar.xml file?

Hello- I have used Johannes' very rad sidecar generator and adobe's instructions on how to upload the file, but can't seem to get it to work. I have a feeling it's because they both start with an assumption:
"Use a text editor or an XML editor to create a sidecar.xml file..."
"Write the lines into a sidecar.xml file"
How do I create the original sidecar.xml file, in which to paste the metadata generated by Johannes' tool?
http://projects.nordsueddesign.de/sidecarxml/#
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60606c7754128c7a9c00e-7f ff.html

You use the web interface of xmlsidecar generator made by Johannes Henseler and the push the button there "generate". Copy paste that into a plain text file and then change tex extension from txt to xml. That's how you do a sidecar.xml the easy way.
Afterwards, yo've got to import "multiple files" (or "many files"... my DPS is a Spanish one) from Folio Builder.
If the folder are structured properly, folio builder will start swallowing the data of sidecar and uploading the articles.
Right now, while posting this, my pc is doing that with about one hundred articles. As happy and busy as a beaver in heat

Sidecar.xml not working with smoothScrolling

Hi everybody!
I am struggling with a big problem with the sidecar.xml file because it does not load the <smoothScrolling>always</smooothScolling> instruction.
I have created a very simple "test" folio with only two articles each made of two pages either in horizontal and vertical, so I have the followinf structure:
<FOLIO> (main folder)
sidecar.xml
<001> (first stack)
001_v.indd (an indesign file with 1 page 768x1024)
001_h.indd (an indesign file with 1 page 1024x768)
<002> (second stack)
002_v.indd (an indesign file with 2 pages 768x1024)
002_h.indd (an indesign file with 2 pages 1024x768)
I have created the sidecar using the utility of Johannes Henseler so I am sure it is correct and here it is (I have just removed the link section which was very long):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="true" ?>
<sidecar>

Well.. what it happens now is that I create a new folio with the Folio Builder Panel and then I import using the multiple article option. Everything seems ok (the two articles are imported and the description, article title, author, kicker are correct) but the "smoothScrolling" results to be deactivated! (in my Italian version I have the following text "Scorrimento uniforme: disattivato (allinea a pagina)" (that I translate as "never") instead I was expecting to have "Scorrimento uniforme: entrambe le direzioni" (that I translate as "always").
And what is worse is that if I try to modify the property in Indesign using the Folio Builder Panel I get this error message:
Errore di generazione contenuto.
[Errore: Gli articoli con scorrimento uniforme devono contenere almeno una pagina singola. Aprite la finestra di dialogo Proprietà per modificare le opzioni di scorrimento uniforme.]
I try to translate:
Generating content error.
Error: the articles with smoothScrolling must contains at least a single page. Open the dialogue window Property to modify the options for the smoothScrolling.
Actually the Indesign source files 002_v.indd and 002_h.indd have already two pages so I do not understand what the error means. It just says to modify the property, but this means I can not have the smoothScrolling on "always" and I do not understand why!
I just would like to have a "smoothScrolling" effect between two pages of various articles using the sidecar.xml file!
Please someone can help me?

Smooth scrolling and flattenig does not work in combination. I think there
is no way to enable that.
