Shared document problem

How do I make a shared document unaccessible while it's being used by another user on the network (to avoid multiple versions)?
In xls it tells me when another user is currently working on a file and that I can be notified once he or she is done...is there such a nifty feature in Pages as well?

Is the PDF locked? I've run into this error in two situations:
1. When uploading an interactive PDF (as Jorma noted)
2. When uploading a locked PDF

When i open shared Document folder getting "An unexpected error has occurred. " error

Hi,
I am getting "An unexpected error has occurred. " error when i open Shared Document folder in Internet URL. But if i open the foder in newtab i can view the documents with out error also intranet URL also doesnt have any problem. I am using SharePoint
2007. Kindly help me resove this issue

@Manikandan,
Can you check the ULS logs to find what is the error. The default location of log files will be C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\LOGS for MOSS 2007.
If is allowed for you to change the callstack and customerrors mode setting in the web.config then change those values to see the error.
Find: <SafeMode CallStack="false" />
Replace with: <SafeMode CallStack="true" />
Find: <customErrors mode="On" />
Replace with: <customErrors mode="Off" />

I have a new lion server and 4 lion laptops. The laptops loose connection to the shared documents and printers from the server after roughly 1 hour. By disconnecting and re-connecting wireless the connection is regained to shares and printers

I have a new lion server and 4 lion laptops. The laptops loose connection to the shared documents and printers from the server after roughly 1 hour. By disconnecting and re-connecting wireless the connection is regained to shares and printers. We can still surf the web when it goes down.

Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated permit_mynetworks check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access reject_non_fqdn_hostname reject_invalid_hostname permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
However, that's not the problem.
I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions. You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up. Private/policy I think relates to grey listing. Maybe gives you a hint.

Is XML Publisher causing shared memory problem..?

Hi Experts,
Since this week, many of the Requisition/PO are erroring out with the below errors or similar to these errors:
- ORA-04031: unable to allocate 15504 bytes of shared memorny ("sharedpool","PO_REQAPPROVAL_INIT1APPS","PL/SQL MPCODE","BAMIMA: Bam Buffer")
ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called.
-Error Name WFENG_COMMIT_INSIDE
3146: Commit happened in activity/function
'CREATE_AND_APPROVE_DOC:LAUNCH_PO_APPROVAL/PO_AUTOCREATE_DOC.LAUNCH_PO_APPROVAL'
Process Error: ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
Few days back we were getting heap memory error for one of the XML Publisher report.
I heard that XML Publisher requires lot of memory for sources/features,So I want to know whether XML Publisher can be one of the cause for memory problem to occur or this shared memory is not related with XML Publisher sources at all.
Please advice.
Many thanks..
Suman

Hi Robert,
Thanks for your quick reply...
Apps version: 11.5.10.2
database version: 9.2.0.8.0
As I am a beginner in this so dont know much about this.. Can you please guide me on this.
DBAs has increased the shared memory and problem has resolved but here I am more concrened whether the XML Publisher was or can be one od the cause for shared memory problem. Is there any way to check that or this occurs randomly and we can not check this.
Please advice something.

How can I use pages.app to edit an iCloud shared document?

Sharing a pages doc on iCloud is pretty easy. However the recipent/collaborator the document is shared with appears to be able to edit such document only through the browser on iCloud. What if the collaborator has his/her own pages.app installed on the Mac, is it not possible to somehow link or download the shared document so that he/she can use his pages.app on the Mac to do all the editing and viewing?

The second option assumes a service other than Apple's icloud with more direct file management. For example: Download the DropBox apps and set up an account (basic account is free). Load the files to DropBox via Pages using Open in another app, or via the dropbox website in a browser on a computer (the latter would be much quicker). From the Dropbox app, you can open them in Pages and save the file there. Box will do the same thing.
But honestly, just because particular files exist in icloud doesn't mean you actually have to open them on a specific device. Might be much easier to get creative with some folder naming and leave them as is.

Can multiple people edit and update a shared document in Numbers?

Hi!
Just a quick one for you guys!
I have recently discoverer 'Numbers' which is great! I then discovered you could share a spreadsheet which is perfect for us as we quiet often need to be working in the same document from our iPhones. However, we do not seem to be able to see each others changes on the shared document. Is it actually possible for us to both work in the spreadsheet and it automatically update each others spreadsheet or is it that when we are done editing, we can only send it to our own iCloud?
Thanks!
Ry

If you share an iCloud link, you can all edit the same document through a web browser. But it has to be a "full" web browser. Mobile Safari on the iPhone can't handle it.
If you're editing the document in Numbers for iOS then others won't be able to see your changes. You'll have to email or share a link to your edited version.

Shared Documents Folder Gone

I just set up my Mac OS 10.3.9 to file share with Windows XP and have been successfully sharing for a few days. Today I went in to send some documents and my Shared Documents folder was gone...only an alias remained. What happened? And how do I set up a folder again? Thank you

Hi, you should be able to create a folder, say at Root of the Partition, then set Rights in Get Info window for both to read & Write.

Adding query string to files already within shared documents

Am a Sharepoint newbie, so hopefully this is an easy one. Am trying to add a query string to some hyperlinks (of PDF files) that are already published in a Shared Documents web part. What's the best way to accomplish this? Can't seem to find an easy
way to edit the raw HTML anchor tag, which would be so simple. Is the anchor tag HTML exposed someplace where I can edit?
Thanks in advance.

You could potentially modify the rendering of a specific Shared Documents by modifying the XSL of your view in SharePoint Designer. However, this will not affect all libraries and not all views of the library, just the specific page.
The jQuery method is actually very easy and can be deployed site-wide by adding a reference to your MasterPage, or to a specific view / page by using the Content Editor Web Part. The actual jQuery would look something like:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a[href$='.pdf']").attr('href', function(i, v) {
return v + '#YourCustomQueryString';

Reader XI crashes on Macosx when opening shared document

I am unable to open any of our documents for shared review on my Mac. 100% of the time it results in a crash. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, removing Adobe prefs from the Library directories.
The directory that holds the shared documents is actually mounted and is accessible.
Partial log output:

So what we're doing in this case is opening a PDF file that is attached to an email. The crash is the same whether we try to open the attachment or if we save it to the desktop first.
The only files available on the network are the XML files associated with the shared review. And Reader doesn't know how to open those files directly.

Extend/modify deadline in Acrobat Pro 8 shared document review

Is it possible to extend or modify the deadline for an Acrobat Pro 8 shared document review?

Christian,
No it's not possible to extend/modify the deadline in Acrobat 8 shared reveiws. These features have beed added in Acrobat 9. In Acrobat 8, the reviewers can add comments even after the deadline has expired. The review file can however be checked out of the review by saving a copy of the file using the 'save an archive copy' option under file menu(File> Save as archive copy), when the reveiw process is complete.
Thanks,
Richa

Shared documents and UCM

We are in the process of replacing our shared network drives with UCM in my organization, and during our information audits we have discovered that many folks throughout the organization make rampant use of shared Excel files. We are now being asked how UCM can support these documents, and we have no answers.
Does anyone know of a UCM feature or component that would allow a shared document to be opened and edited by multiple users in realtime? I'm thinking like Google Docs type functionality.
Thanks,
Phil
Edited by: Phil on Jul 20, 2011 12:04 PM

Phil,
UCM itself is a document management system, so it has almost no control about what desktop application can or cannot do with a document.
However, UCM controls check-out and check-in of a document, and there the rule says that a document can be checked-out (-in) by a single user only. The exception is so-called folio which is an XML construct able to reference multiple documents - thus, a single user can have a single document checked-out, but the folio is kind of checked out by multiple users (a good use case is a book consisting of chapters written by many authors).
Nevertheless, even the standard mechanism, that is, a file (Excel sheet in your case) checked-out by a single user will not prevent editing by multiple users. Only the design will be lame - the file while being edited will have to be stored outside UCM and it will be checked-in by the single user when done.

Shared documents not recieved by recipient

This undermines the whole paradigm.
I've shared documents with 2 people today and neither has received their invite to share.
It can't go on I tell you!

I'm very sorry to hear it. Any chance they hit their spam folders and/or were filtered out by some kind of corporate spam filtering?

"Shared documents" VS "document library"

What is the different between ”Shared documents” and document library?
Where do I find the ”Shared documents” and what page can you recommend me to read about it?

"Shared Documents" is nothing more than a document library that automatically gets created when certain site templates are used (e.g., Team Site.) In SharePoint 2013, you will notice the library has a display name of "Documents" but a URL path of /Shared%20Documents/.
Other than that, there is nothing special about it. If you don't have one and you want one, you can create it just like any other document library.

How to get all folders with Name and ID in Shared Document.

I tried this snippet and it is returning only Name not ID of the folders, Any help where am i going wrong?
$.ajax({
url: "/<sitename>/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('Shared Document')/folders?$select=Name,ID",
method: "GET",
headers: { "accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
success: function(data){
console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
error: function(data){console.log(JSON.stringify(data));}

What kind of folder and which ID?
Assuming you are wanting the folder objects created from the New Folder button in the ribbon, try this search by Content Type:
https://yourdomain.sharepoint.com/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Documents')/items?$filter=startswith(ContentTypeId,'0x0120')&$select=Title,ID
Note that several IDs are returned; the ID (GUID) of the list item and the list's ID column (1,2,3, ....)
Your example returned an ID property, but it was a URL.

Spell check doesn't work on shared documents

We have four computers (Mac) running CS6 (multiple licenses) and sharing documents via a server. Beginning with CS3, we were not able to spell check a document multiple times. Now, with CS6, three computers cannot spell check ANY shared documents. One computer (the one that created the original document) can spell check anything multiple times. When the other computers try to spell check something the dialogue box opens and you hit "start" but nothing happens, as though there are no spelling errors (which there certainly are). All other computers are able to spell check documents originally created on that computer. Copying documents from the server to the computer's hard drive still does not allow them to be spell checked.
Thoughts?

Is this a statement or do you want some help? If you want help you have to tell us what you see and why you say it doens't work. No one but you sees your screen!
