Updating Content Area File Items

I have added an item (type FILE) to one of my content areas. This file is an HTML document named Oracle.HTML. The problem that I am having is that if I have to update the Oracle.HTML file and re-upload that file to the database, Portal is kind enough to rename the file (Oracle_0.HTML). If I do it again (Oracle_1.HTML).
This is problematic in a web environment where we have links to other documents.
I have set item versioning to NONE on the content area. I have also tried setting the item versioning to simple and then telling Portal to overwrite current version when updating the item. Neither of these help out.
Is there a way around this? Is there a way to directly load the BLOB into the database?
Help, I cannot have HTML documents in my content areas that link to each other!

Mark,
You are hitting bug 1531318. A workaround to this bug is to zip the files you want to update. Add the zipfile to the content area, and unzip the files. In this way, the original file names are kept. This works for more files simultaneously, but also for 1 file at a time.
The bug should be fixed with portal 3.0.8.6.4 , but in my case, oracle customer support could send me two updated packages, which solved the problem.
Hth,

How do I update linked FM files without losing TOC entries or Map IDs?

Hi,
I'm using RH 10 with linked FM 11 files to create a WebHelp project and this is what happens when I do an update or force update of a linked file in the RH project:
After the update, the topic that contains updated content gets deleted from project TOC in RH.
After the update, any Map IDs assigned to the topic that contains the updated content are deleted.
Can someone please advise how to update a linked file without losing TOC entries or Map IDs?
Thanks a bunch!
Gabe

HI Gabe,
You will want to link the TOC from FM in your conversion settings, and set the map id's via TopicAlias markers in FM.

InCopy CS5.5 update content does not work

I am an editor using InCopy for editing my magazine. I only have InCopy. My art director who uses the full InDesign suite, and I work remotely. She sends InCopy files to me via Dropbox. When she makes changes to the files, my content update does not work. It is shaded grey. It worked a couple of times and then stopped. Does my art director need to do something on her end to ensure I can update content in files she sends to me?
Thanks for any help someone can provide.

Hi and thanks for the quick reply.
This is the problem:
My art director is using Indesign to create Incopy files for me to edit. We
both are working from remote locations and are using Dropbox (remote server)
to store our files. We have been having some problems... When my art
director changes an image I do not see the image change/update on my end.
How do we solve this problem?
We are both using the latest version of the software she is using InDesign
CS5.5 and I'm using InCopy CS5.5.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Mary

Error Creating File Items in Content Area

Received the following error message when trying to create an item in a content area:
An unhandled exception has occurred, ORA-01403: no data found.
I checked in the Apache error_log file and the only messages I see relate to portal30.wwv_add_wizard.edititem and portal30.wwv_additem.additem (had to be described for execution).
Any suggestions? Thanks

This is an unusual problem. Please work with Oracle Support to resolve it.

Internal File Names within Content Areas

I have a problem where I have loaded up a series of inter-linked HTML files created in an HTML editor (e.g. Dreamweaver). They all exist within a folder and all the links work. As soon as I amend a file and reload it, it gets a new name on the database (for example index_0.htm and then index_1.htm). Therefore because the name has changed the links no longer work. I have item versioning switched off in the content area and the folders where the items reside.
Is there any way around this problem?
null

This behavior has been fixed for Portal 3.0.8, which is going to be part of 9iAS release 1.0.2.1, due out later this month.
In the meantime, perhaps you could have dreamweaver update the links for your files as part of a dreamweaver "site" definition. If you update the name for one file say from ("myfile" to "myfile_1", all the other links would then be automatically updated by dreamweaver to reflect that). What version of Portal are you currently using? 3.0.6 or 3.0.7?

Good morning
I am trying to upgrade my iPhone via my macbook but the following message keeps coming up and the download does not work
"There are purchased items on the iPhone “Mark Price’s iPhone” that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this"
Please advise how I can transfer these files, I am not sure what files are in question.
I've only had the MacBook a couple of days, I am PC savvy but this is all new to me so please keep it as simple as possible. I am a brit based in Bahrain.

okay I've done everything regarding the transfer process (via file>transfer purchases) and syncing, so everything on my iPhone device seems to have been transferred to my iMac... however, I still get that message ("There are purchased items on the iPhone..."), trying to upgrade the iOS Have tried several times the same process of hitting transfer purchases via file, but nothing seems to make that message go away! Would have been nice to know which files I actually do need to transfer, which I don't get any info on of course...
Starting to get really annoying this thing.. Any smart suggestions what's going on?

There are purchased items on the iPhone "asingh's iPhone" that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone. Are you sure you want to continue?

When I am trying to upgrade my iphone to IOS7.0.2 by connecting my my iphone and macbook, it shows "There are purchased items on the iPhone “asingh’s iPhone” that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone. Are you sure you want to continue? ". I hit the same issue and lost a lot of apps from my iphone. Can someone help on how to resolve this issue? I can automatically upgrade my software on the iphone but how shall I resolve any future updates of "Apps"?

I appreciate the answer, but what you describe is not entirely accurate. First, to even see view, you have to enable the menu by clicking on the icon in the upper left. View allows you to show the sidebar.
Second, you will NOT see your devise listed in sidebar or anywhere else. Instead, you have to click on "devise" from the sidebar menu, wait a minute, and then it will finally show up under "devise." Or maybe it just takes a minute to show up whatever you do.
Third, right clicking on your devise will take you to a menu with "transfer my files" on it, but then iTunes will refuse to make the transfer. Instead, it will tell you that <your apps> on your <devise> could not be transferred to iTunes "because you are not authorized for it on your computer." Apple unhelpfully suggests going to store> authorize this computer. There is a "store" menu item on the sidebar, but it has no "authorize this computer" sub-menu. Instead, go to the horizontal menu at the upper left, and THERE you will find "store" and the "authorize this computer" sub-menu. Now you can transfer your files, to who knows where.
My iPhone 5 is my first Apple devise. So far my experience has been, to do A, which must be done right now, you must first do B. To do B you must first do C, which is unexplained save in answers in user forums. To do C you must first do D, which, after several hours of research and puzzle solving, can eventually be done.

How to customize the default add item in a content area

Hi!! I want to know what can I do to introduce a file in a content area, but I don't want to use the default page that portal use. I want to customize the add item option, the same that I have done with the folders. The problem that I have is that I need the user to have the file on his/her pc, and the api add_item needs the file on unix, where de DB is installed.
If anyone has any idea, please help me.

Hi All,
Thanks for all your reply, but maybe i didn't describe my problem clear. My problem for the combobox is that once the combobox has a selected value, then there is no way to clear it in the UI even I remove all the items in its ValidValues. From the user interface, the selected value still stays there but actually this combobox is empty and does not have any items. My question is how can I remove the current selected item in the combobox.
Thanks,
Lan

Export of items in a content area

We have items of type image in a content area. In the
browser the image url appears as follows:
/pls/portal30/docs/1234.gif
When migrating content areas does the item content
also get migrated (eg: the image file) and also
are the appended numbers eg: 1234.gif and itemids
kept the same in the new instance or are they changed.
Also is the correlation between the image and the number
maintained in the new instance.
Thanks,
Suzanne

Yes. All these correlations are automatically taken care.

Translating items in a Content Area

Hi,
Here is a strange problem that happens to me : we have a content area that support both english and french. english is the native language and french was added on the 'translation' tab, with the 'online' option checked.
A user who has the 'view' and 'add with approval' rights can add a file item in a folder. This is done with the english interface. Then, if the user change the interface to french, edit this item and choose another file (in order to translate the item), the item will disappear of the folder! If the interface is in english, this item awaiting approval is visible, if the interface is in french, the item doesn't show up!
The administrator of the folder can see the item in any language...but not the user! Once the item has been approved, some strange things happen, but it seems ok in both languages, also for the user.
what is happening ?
we have Oracle Portal Version: 3.0.9.8.1
Thanks for any help!
Fabian Cretton

Hi Philip
One problem (at least with 309, havn't checked with 902) I experienced is when 'Item Versioning' for the folder is set to 'Audit'. The only way how a translation 'sticks' is when you override the current version of the item (i.e. when Version Control is not used / set to 'Simple', so you can override the current version), which is not possible with 'Audit'.
Hope that helps

How to zip files in a content area

Hi!!
We have a lot of documents in a content area, and every day the number of documents is going up. The question is, if we can zip these documents or something similar.

If you're asking about compressing the files in the repository, or adding a bunch of items to a zip file, neither of these features are currently available.
You would have to download the files, add them to a zip on the desktop, and then upload the new zip file.

If you changed your Apple ID, you will not be able to update any of the content that you used in the past. The worse case scenario here would have been to change the password. Really all you needed to do was go on the Apple site and change the password, unless you provided them with information. This will make it difficult for you to deal with turning off Find My iPhone and other Apple ID related steps. All you really needed to do was delete the email.
