Using files stored on remote web server/cdn as content repository

Hello,
Is it possible to create a document/asset in WCC that does not have it's physical file stored within the local file system/database but instead is stored in a CDN?
We want to develop a system whereby files that are stored in a CDN are searchable/viewable/downloadable by users. The file metadata (name, description, mime type, size etc) including the URL for the file within the CDN is known. If we could send the metadata to WCC, is it possible to create the asset such that when the user clicks to view the web-viewable format the CDN URL is used and, likewise, when they click to download the video the file URL for the CDN is used.
Thanks
Iain

With the direction given by SnakeEyez02, I was able to solve my issues. Going to get very detailed here....
I was somewhat stuck because I couldn't understand that when you create the site locally, how do you get it to work online. When I created the DB locally and had usernames and pwords to access, it worked fine. I thought that I could 'preview' the remote site in dreamweaver, which can be done, but takes a bit of work around (create new DB connection, add your IP to remote access list, etc). So I was stuck trying to 'preview' my site on my machine, which won't happen because the hostname should be 'localhost' even on the remote. This is because the website AND db are running on 'localhost' because my host (Bluehost) runs off 'localhost'. So I could never 'preview' the remote site due to the db running "locally" on the remote.
With Bluehost, they automatically change a few things:
Bluehost places certain characters in front of any username and the database. So when I export from local and import to remote, my DB went from "TBO_Golf" on the local to "(Bluehost characters)_TBO_Golf" on the remote.
The username and pword combo I was using on my local test had to be changed to match my remote credentials. Bluehost limits the amount of characters on usernames and places specific characters in front of any username. So I had to change it from "(Local username)" to "(bluehost inserted characters)_(username)" and matching password. I could have left it and it would have worked, but every time I wanted to update, I would have to change the username/pword combo every time I went from local to remote and vice versa. So I'd rather save myself the headache and just change the local to match.
So, when I uploaded the site to the remote, the only thing I had to do was update the DB name. I went to the website and 'TA-DA!!!' My dynamic pages now work!
Thanks so much to SnakeEyez02 and Rob Hecker2 for their help!

  • Accessing a csv file on a resin web server

    Hi guys,
    Im trying to access a CSV file on a resin web server using the following:
    File csvfile = new File("http://localhost:8080/FYP/"+WebCourse2+".csv");
    and it does not work
    when I use a local file location as follows, it works fine:
    File csvfile = new File("C:\\QMULFOLDER0203\\FYP\\Database\\"+WebCourse2+".csv");
    Am i doing something wrong?
    Thanks
    tzaf

    the only prob with that is that i use the methods exists() and isFile() to make sure the csv file is available and is a file
    File csvfile = new File("C:\\QMULFOLDER0203\\FYP\\Database\\"+WebCourse2+".csv");
                                                           //File csvfile = new File("http://localhost:8080/FYP/"+WebCourse2+".csv");

  • DLL in "\Program Files\...\Web Server Extensions\15\BIN\" folder

    Hi!
    Anyone, please, tell me
    1. Why some assembly are in this folder - "\Program Files\...\Web Server Extensions\15\BIN\"?
    2. What kind of assembly must be there?
    About year ago I have a problem with my custom solution, it can't found one of my dll, although it was in GAC. After I put it in BIN folder, it worked. Now I have a similar problem - I have dll in GAC, but page through error "assembly not found".
    This error repeated through time, I can't understand why...

    Hi
    If your DLL are in bin folder of web application then your solution is sandbox solution and if its in GAC then its Farm solution.
    so if you deployee any custom solution as sandbox then your DLL should be in BIN folder of web application
    Check below link which can help to more understanding about dll deployment

  • Deploy .war or .ear file to sun java web server 7.0 update 4

    Hi
    This could be a very daft question, but still I would like to get a clarification.
    My clients are a financial organisation, and for security and various other reasons they accept only .ear files. But this time the development and deployment would be done on Sun Java Web Server 7.0 update 4 . Now since its a web server I don't think I can deploy an .ear file.
    But sure I would like to get an answer from the experts here, is it possible to deploy and .ear file to Sun Java Web Server 7.0 before I can go back to my clients.
    Please help me here as I'm in a real big confusion here. Your help would be highly valuable to me.
    Thanks
    Jagdish

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply and I appreciate your help. Well I tried deploying an .ear file directly and web server 7 complains that it doesn't have a .war extension, understandably so.
    And then ripping apart the .ear file and deploying the .war file does work, as is expected of a web server.
    Well, about my customer is a bank and they have a very tight security policy, and why they need an .ear file is beyond my understanding. Well as far as this issue is concerned, I need a strong point so that I can get back to them that we need to comply to the third party software.
    But I didn't wan't to get back to them saying we can only provide a .war file and then later find out an .ear file could have done the job. And being seen as the technical experts we can't afford to make any mistake.
    Thanks

  • Windows 2008 Server crashed - How to find location of remote shared files that they used to access on remote web app?

    We have a client that was running windows 2008 server.  A previous IT person had setup their system, so we were walking into a situation where there were many unknowns.  Server was mainly handling emails only, and we were able to get their exchange
    database off and export PSTs to hosted exchange via microsoft.
    Everything went fine with that, however one user said that he used to access files on the server via the remote web app as he described.  He would go to the following url:
    https://mail.theirdomain.com/remote/menu.aspx#
    and he would use his login and then he would see several links to folders.  He could then click on those and see his desired files.  
    We were able to get the server booted again, however we could not find any of the files he described on it at all, leaving me to suspect that perhaps this remote link was accessing another PC.  
    We have the old server up and running, however the link above is no longer active because we have pointed the domain to the new hosted exchange server.  As I am still learning and my boss wanted me to research this on my own and figure out how to find
    out where these files are located.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  
    Just as a note I did try access mail.localhost.com/remote/menu.aspx# on the server but this did not work.  Is there any way in the IIS 7 management console to figure out where this was pointing to?  

    I figured it out - The server was using sharepoint to host these files.  I browsed localhost:987 and opened the sharepoint site locally on the server.  They had several documents to be exported, however when clicking on Open in Explorer it was
    giving an error that local client was not configured.  I installed Desktop Experience and after that was able to open it in Windows Explorer and copy all files off.  

  • How to preview graphic files on a home web server setup?

    I apologize if this question is not asked in the most technical way, but here goes:
    I'm read online on how to create a home web server or ftp server on a Mac computer. (I plan to do this with my G5, running OSX 10.6.4)
    I would like to have a library of folders containing all of my graphic files that I've collected over the years in order to have access to them (if needed) when i'm working remotely.
    I want to be able to easily view all of these graphic files like I can with Adobe Bridge (eps, psd, ai, gif, jpg, png, etc).
    Is there software I can use that will allow me to view a gallery thumbnails of all of these file types when I am away from home and logging into the ftp server or web server?
    I know software such as Transmission FTP will allow me to look at one image at a time, but I'd like to view an entire gallery of thumbnails at once for quick reference.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi johnny-griswold;
    The G5 was called a PowerMac and used a PowerPC processor.
    The MacPro is an Intel based Mac and is capable of running 10.6.4.
    You might what to drop your references to G5 because they are only confusing things.

  • UCCX Reading XML file hosted on IIS web server

    hi guys,
    i have a customer on CCX 8.5 environment and they have a .NET application running on an IIS web server. As part of this .NET application, the app produce an XML file.
    My questions is
    "Can CCX read XML file that is hosted externally on IIS web server rather than parsing the XML file on CCX document repository?"
    All of the examples of XML parsing points to the XML file in document repository.
    Any pointers to links and documentation/example on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
    If this is not achievable, if you could kindly suggest a different way of doing it too would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Daniel

    Hi,
    to be quite honest with you, I don't know anything about Sharepoint - so I am afraid I cannot help you with its XML editing capabilities. XML is just a well formed text file that follows some logical rules, so no additional application is required for editing, in fact, I always encourage everybody to use Notepad/Textpad/ to read and edit XML files. Of course, if it's not possible, you will find a great number of various user friendly XML editing applications.
    A UCCX script will normally access an XML using the Create URL Document step and then, using the Get XML Document data step with the help of an XPath expression, will filter out the necessary information from the XML document.
    The protocols used are standard and well known, including HTTP and XPath (and XML itself). So it does not really matter what kind of HTTP server serves the XML file, IIS is just an option.
    Examples may be found in the Scripting guides for your particular UCCX version.

  • Slowness during AE rendering using file stored on the network

    Hi,
    i work as IT consultant in a design studio.
    This studio has 3 workstation with 2xquad xeon ,16gb ram , 15000 rpm disk, Nvidia tesla card,  fast enough to perform rendering with 3dmax using vray and other stuff.
    They work a lot with watches and boat.
    This spring they started to do presentation with AE cs4 and as other 3dsmax project store all data on a 2x2 xeon 4 gb debian x64 samba server with 2tb raid 1 sata.
    The network is a gigabit and they can transfer to the server 100/120 mb/sec (i can achieve locally on the server 170 mb/sec from the raid).
    The issue is that 3dsmax and other programs works efficiently on the network instead AE is very very slow using project stored on the server.
    I've tried to set up disk caching on local workstation  but there aren't changes, so i've inspected network traffic of AE with Wireshark and i saw that AE continuosly request always the same files (seems doesn't use an algorithm of caching) .
    My conclusion is:
    - our network is fast for transfer but slow with latencies ( for request a file we need 50-500 ms )
    Solution:
    - change topology of the network : switch from gigabit to fiber cabled network (too much money)
    - discover some trick of AE
    I appreciate a lot ur help.
    Ps:sorry for my bad bad bad english.

    i forgot, copying on local disk the project folder AE spend 10 minutes to render, the same project on the network spend 1,30 hours.

  • Setup automated Powershell to upload files to a remote ftp server with ssl

    Thanks in advance for the advice!
    I need to create a script to upload a file to a remote server to transfer some large files, and I've been reviewing some methods needed, and have a few questions.
    Is there a best practice for sending large files? 
    Is the webrequest or put commands better to use?
    This will be the first time we use Powershell on this server.   Should I change the executive policy on the server or should I change it in the script when running for security purposes?   This is a data warehouse therefore our strategic
    data is else where but want to make sure everything is secure as possible.
    I am able to run something similar on my laptop which works but when I try it on the server it is blocked.   I'm assuming I'll have to open up port 22 for this application to work.   How can I confirm that this is the port Powershell
    needs open for these transfers. 
    Any references to learning links appreciated since I'm new to Powershell.
    Thanks!

    Sorry but we cannot help you with this.  We suggest you contact a support tech or consultant to help you set up your system.
    Start by learning how PowerShell works and how to set it up. As fro the SSL you will need to postyourscript with any issues and errors.

  • Error 43 when accessing LabVIEW 2009 write/read file functions through the web server functionality

    Is there any way around to avoid Error 43, "Operation cancelled by user" when using Web server?
    I am using the example VI:s RemotePanelMethods-Server.vi and RemotePanelMethods-Client.vi to acces the MainGUI.vi from my workstation to a lab computer. * LabVIEW 2009 is installed in both machines.
    * MainGUI.vi is wired to the VI access list in the Server VI but it also contains a hierarchy below that isn't, is this a problem?
    * Several functions in MainGUI calls file read and write operations
    The problem ocurrs when file read/write operations with no preselected path are selected through the Client. The traditional popup window requesting the file to read or write is never seen in the Client, but only the Error 43.
    Thanks in advance
