VERY COOL: the web app for review & approve

I have downloaded the package at
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/FinalCutServerIntegrationSample/
read the readme, which is actually a manual, and set up everything accordingly. And now I have a very cool web app for review & approve with the same look and feel as the client. This is such a great feature that I really have no clue why apple is hiding it. There are third party apps that are less cool and cost a lot and don't send comments and flag back to FCsvr as this web app does.
And the best thing: it's very easy to install.

Don't give up so soon..
Delete all XML files in the xmlin folder. try it again and when you see in "search all jobs" go to the administrator/log panel en double click on the upmost row (the one that inform you that the script has run). If it says cannot read XML file, the go to the xmlin folder and check if there is a new XML file. There probably is but not with the title you gave to the asset. This means that the script had problems assigning the title to the name of the XML file.
Try now uploading a new file. Don't change the filename and give a tite of something without spaces. See if it works then.
Also be aware that you set the priority probably to medium. A normal device scan would probably stop this.

  • Unable to run Web App for the 2nd Time

    Hi,
    I am using Weblogic 8.1 sp5 as my deploying platform. Using the official tutorials, I am able to export my JSC2 web app into a WAR file that is deployable on my Weblogic server.
    Upon running the application, it works perfectly. However, upon closing my browser and then restarting the browser, running the web app again yields exceptions, please refer to the bottom.
    What am I doing wrong? I am suspecting the web-app wasn't detroyed properly when another instances of it is started...
    Please advise.

  • SQL Server 2008 on the Web/App server for BPC 7.0

    In a multi-server environment (DB/OLAP on a 64-bit platform, Web/App on a 32-bit platform), is it necessary to have SQL Server on the Web/App server if Reporting Services is not used?  Could you explain why SQL Server is needed on this server if Reporting Services is not used?

    Hi
    Reporting Service is a requirement for BPC. If it is not deployed on App Server, it can be deployed elsewhere but is required.
    Other SQL related things that go on App Server include:
    Reporting Services
    Shared Features
           Client Tools Connectivity
           Management Tools - Complete
           Business Intelligence Development Studio
           Integration Services

    Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility Components from Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Feature Pack
    Reporting Services/Integration Service requires SQL license(s). Standard ediiton of these can be used if you are not performing Load Balanced deployement.

  • Why should we trust the web app pool account for delegation?

    Hello,
    Can someone explain to me why we must trust the web app pool account for delegation in AD?
    here's what I understood:
    {Client computer}                                    {Web server}                         
    {SQL Server}
    domain\user1 ---auth. on web portal ----> [web portal]-domain\appPool-> the appPool account takes the identity of user1
    correct ?
    Thanks !

    To enable the MBAM Servers to authenticate communication from the Administration and Monitoring Website and the Self-Service Portal,
    you must register a Service Principal Name (SPN) for the host name under the domain account that you are using for the web application pool. More via https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn645356.aspx?

    After i installed updates for my mac mini server, the web services for the server app wont start, it gives an error massage: "Error Reading Settings"
    The system logs reads:
    Mar 29 22:06:25 server servermgrd[82]: servermgr_web:  Error Domain=XSServerFoundationErrorDomain Code=4 "Failed to read settings: Exception:
              undefined method `downcase' for nil:NilClass

              undefined method `downcase' for nil:NilClass

    To check the local network for some of the common configuration problems, launch Terminal.app and issue the following diagnostic command:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    That'll report some local configuration information and then either no errors detected and no changes required, or it'll point to whatever configuration errors or issues it might detect.  That doesn't catch everything, but it catches the common errors.
    FWIW, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are poor choices for the local network, as VPNs are based on IP routing and IP routing gets tangled when the same subnet is used on both ends of the VPN. 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are near ubiquitous in home networks and coffee shops.

  • Not using the most recent checked in version of the web app DLL in Release build

    Hi folks
    Got some peculiar behaviour - I have three build configurations set up within VS2K13 for Debug, Release and DebugOnLive.
    There are some basic XML transformations to update emails, db-settings etc - all very simple and working.
    Needed to do a DebugOnLive build to test an emergency fix and everything built fine.  Tested on the pilot site, saw the fix was working and proceeded to rebuild for Release.
    Everything seemed great except the web-app DLL with the fix in that was used for the release build was not the latest version even though the pilot build had used the latest version.  I had to recheck in the DLL to get it to use the updated version!
    Is this behaviour 'by design' - it seems peculiar you would have to re-check in to change the build if all you are doing is swapping some settings?  You are fixed - all you are doing is building for a different configuration or am I misunderstanding?
    mmacneill123 (MCP)

    Hi Mmacneill123, 
    Thanks for your reply.
    You said that “the issue is that I have already checked in the changes…”, and you said “if I check in before 
    EVERY build, everything works fine!” too.
    You’re using the default build process template in your build definition? You configured these 3 configurations in your build definition to build your solution 3 times?
    If you remove that DebugForLive configuration, only configure Debug and Release in your solution and build definition to perform build, everything will works fine?
    After you changed the configuration from “DebugForLive” to Release, please check in on your solution first, then queue build definition to build your solution. After you changed the configuration each time, please check-in on your solution first,
    then perform build.

  • What is the best app for Maintenance/Cleanup for my mac? Do I need Virus Protection?

    What is the best app for Maintenance/Cleanup for my Mac? Do I need Virus protection?

    How to maintain a Mac
    Make two or more backups of all your files
    One backup is not enough to be safe. A copy of a backup doesn't count as another backup; all backups must be made directly from the original data.
    Keep at least one backup off site at all times in case of disaster. Backing up to a cloud-data service is one way to accomplish this, but don't rely exclusively on such backups.
    In fact, don’t rely exclusively on any single backup method, such as Time Machine.
    If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    Keep your software up to date
    In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
    Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Don't install such modifications unless they're absolutely necessary. Remove them when they are no longer needed. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all system modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of difficulties with system updates.
    Don't install crapware
    ...such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac," "TuneUpMyMac," and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
    As a rule, you should avoid software that changes the way other software works. Plugins for Photoshop and similar programs are an obvious exception to this rule. Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
    Only install software that is useful to you, not (as you imagine) to the computer. For example, a word processor is useful for writing. A video editor is useful for making movies. A game is useful for fun. But a "cache cleaner" isn't useful for anything. You didn't buy a computer so you could clean caches.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
    Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts
    Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions.
    Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
    Avoid malware
    "Malware" is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but it's now increasingly common and dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against malware, but you can’t rely on it—the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party "anti-virus" products for protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness—not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    Don't fill up your disk or SSD
    A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a startup failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
    While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
    Relax, don’t do it
    Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime for maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform.
    A well-designed computing device is not something you should have to think about much. It should be an almost transparent medium through which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that needs a lot of attention just to keep going, use a PC, or collect antique cars.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

    Hi, I'm currently browsing the web looking for a case that is compatible with the smart cover for the iPad 2. If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to read all opinions! Thanks!

    I love the Smart Cover. It fits the way I work and I love the instant on/off and the always available screen protection. I wouldn't use my iPad without it.
    I got a Cover Buddy for the back, because I wanted the back to be less slippery when I'm using the iPad in the classroom, teaching. I picked this back cover because it's VERY lightweight, easy to get on or off and, protects the corners, has accurate cutouts for the ports, and (in the colors) has a rubberized surface:

    I have a Built NY "hoody" slip on case with a hard internal shell that I use when I'm in the field and I can put the iPad with the Smart Cover and the Cover Buddy inside this . But for everyday use, the Smart Cover with the Cover Buddy is a terrific combination.

  • The web app input form is not holding what i enter in it

    Am setting up a business directory using the web apps, and two of fields are custom, one for map and video, {tag_map embed} {tag_video embed}. Now when I add a business using the web app input form. All the other fields work perfect in the list and detail page, but in the detail page where the map and video tags are, they are empty, the form isn’t taking what I enter in the map and video field. I tried text (string) and text (multiline), no change. But when I add the business in the back end, it works. So it makes me think there is something wrong with the input form. I also try with the edit layout form once the business was added, that didn’t work too.
      Any ideas what would be causing this to happen

  • Mapping of Web App context root and the physical directory of the web app

    I'm running Weblogic 7.0 on Windows2000.The physical directory of my web application
    is D:\WL8\weblogic81\TestDeploy\build\TestWebApp and under these directory I have
    my JSPS, static HTML and WEB-INF. I define the context path of this web app in
    the weblogic.xml ;-
    <weblogic-web-app>
         <context-root>/testapp</context-root>
    </weblogic-web-app>
    As a result of deploying this web app in the server (or it may be created manually
    also), the following entry gets inserted in the server's config.xml ,-
    <Application Deployed="true" Name="TestWebApp"
    Path="D:\WL8\weblogic81\TestDeploy\build" TwoPhase="true">
    <WebAppComponent Name="TestWebApp" Targets="myserver" URI="TestWebApp"/>
    </Application>
    Now, whenever I make a request of the form "http://localhost:7001/testapp/..",
    it's properly executing my web app. My question is, how does the container knows
    that for any request for the web app with context path as 'testapp', it has to
    server files from D:\WL8\weblogic81\TestDeploy\build\TestWebApp. In the above
    process, nowhere such mapping is specified. I expected something like Tomcat's
    server.xml, where in docbase we clearly specify this mapping between the context
    path and the physical directory. Please help.

    Let me give some more details and hopefully this will make things clearer.
    Say you deploy /foo/bar/myweb.war and in myweb.war you configure a
    context-root of /rob
    During deployment, the server creates an ApplicationMBean with a path of
    /foo/bar/. It then creates a WebAppComponent with a uri of myweb.war.
    Next, deployment calls back on the web container and tells it to deploy
    the WebAppComponent. The web container reads the myweb.war, parses
    descriptors etc. The web container then updates its data structures to
    register that myweb.war has a context path of /rob. (It has to figure
    out all the other servlet mappings as well.)
    When a request for /rob/foo comes in, the web container consults its
    data structures to determine which webapp and servlet receives the
    request. This is not a linear search of all webapps and servlets.
    There's much better ways to do pattern matching.
    Hope this clears things up. Let me know if you still have questions.

    Thanks for the answer. Still one thing is not clear. Whatever context path I declare
    for my web app as the value of <context-root> element in the weblogic.xml (in
    my example it's "/testapp"), it is no where mapped with the "URI" attribute (or
    any other attribute, sub-element whatsoever in the <Application> element).
    Application Deployed="true" Name="TestWebApp"
    Path="D:\WL8\weblogic81\TestDeploy\build" TwoPhase="true">
    <WebAppComponent Name="TestWebApp" Targets="myserver" URI="TestWebApp"/>
    </Application>
    So when a request of the form http://myweblogic.com:7001/testapp/... arrives at
    the server, how does the server knows that it has to serve this request with files
    from D:\WL8\weblogic81\TestDeploy\build\TestWebApp ? It should not be like the
    web container iterates thru all the web application entries in config.xml and
    tries to match with one context-root declaration. I repeat, I expected some mapping
    similar to Tomcat's server.xml, where in the <docbase> element u clearly specify
    the mapping between the context path and the physical directory

    It's a little clearer in the case where you had a full-fledged EAR.
    Then you'r application path would map to the "root" of the EAR, and the
    uris would point to the various modules (eg webapps.)

  • Why aren't apple doing something to sort out the facetime app for mac

    Why aren't apple doing something to sort this out, there is obviously something wrong as so many people seem to be having the same or very similar problems, I was about to buy the facetime app for my mac but not sure I should now
    Come on apple, no use sticking your head in the sand, get it sorted.
    After all, you are quite happy to take peoples money for your app, the least you can do is to ensure it works.

    Backing up and restoring is not the same as downgrading.
    Apple have stopped signing 5.1.1 which is why you can't downgrade.
