RE: [OzMOSS] Search scopes and PDF documents

[Clayton James]

Hi Andrew
 
By default Content Types aren't searchable, you need to enable this in your SSP.
I don't have my SSP in front of me so the following may be a little different.

1.  
Go into Search Settings
2.  
Open Metadata Property Mappings
3.  
Find the property Content Type, open it and check the "Allow this 
property to be used in scopes".

This should hopefully do the trick.

Subject: [OzMOSS] Search scopes and PDF documents



Hi,
 
I was wondering if anyone had come across the following problem and could point 
me in the right direction to a solution.
 
I have installed the FoxIT PDF iFilter to index PDF documents which seems to be 
working fine. I then created a search scope which limits items to a particular 
content type via a property query. The PDF files are uploaded to the document 
library as this content type and then a full crawl is performed.  The problem 
is that none of the PDF files appear in the search results for the scope.  It 
appears that the search scope is not including any PDF files as when you create 
and update the scope the number of items in the scope is less than it should be 
(i.e. not including the PDF files).  If I do a search via the entire site it 
finds the PDF files without fuss.  This means that the indexing is working 
correctly and so it must be something to do with the search scope.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Guys, we've had one issue for the entire time this list has been hosted

Re: [OzMOSS] [listserver] List Posting Error Notification

[Bill Williamson]

Two issues, one of which I've raised months ago...
-admin email spam
-about 1 in 3 emails sent is corrupted due to the list software not
understanding how to handle inline MIME attachments and sticking the
signature in the middle of UUEncoded text


The second one makes the list very tedious to use for about half of us.

RE: [OzMOSS] [listserver] List Posting Error Notification

[Paul Noone]

Matthew,

No one wants to jump ship. We simply want to limit the problems and return 
stability.

It's a gross understatement to suggest there has only been one issue, unless of 
course the same one recurs with high frequency and is responsible for all the 
others. It seems that some people have been lucky but many others, like myself, 
have had nothing but problems since subscribing.

I try to put my inherent paranoia aside when receiving the "you are not 
subscribed" messages. :)

If it assists in debugging, the problems I am receiving are as follows:

Problem:   Can't post to list. Various errors.
Affected:   Usually affects everyone.
Frequency:Intermittent
Solution:Resubscribing sometimes does the trick.

Problem:   Read receipts and/or Out of Office replies.
Affected:   All
Frequency:Constant
Solution:Server-side filtering and unsubscribe (with message) those 
responsible.

Problem:   MIME types and multi-part messages garbled
Affected:   Most
Frequency:Constant
Solution:Enable and properly configure mime-types. Limitation of list 
software? Client-side email software can also be the cause.

Problem:   Outages (server or otherwise)
Affected:   All
Frequency:Intermittent
Solution:Change host? Account payment?

I appreciate that this list is not the only one to be affected by these 
problems and that some might occasionally be unavoidable. But it's also just 
possible that moving to a proven platform and solution might rectify many of 
these.

RE: [OzMOSS] Search scopes and PDF documents

[Andrew Haughan]

Thanks for the reply Clayton,
 
I have already performed the step to allow me to use content types in
the search scope.  All other document types are working as expected in
the search scope for this content type except PDF files. e.g. if I
search for something inside a particular word document in this scope it
is returned without any problems but if I search for something inside a
PDF file it does not.  However if I do an all sites search for the same
content inside a PDF then it is found.

[Bill Williamson]

Paul put it much better than I have been.  None of my comments mean any
disrespect, nor is there a lack of appreciation for the work that has been
done thus far to host the list.

It just feels like we should take the list out of beta and into production
(groan) now that it has become a full and useful thing.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused by the errors you may be experiencing with 
the system.
Matt, Dan and I are looking to move the listserver off the current platform 
which is MailEnable. We will be looking for a proper SharePoint implementation 
with search, auto subscribe etc.

Thanks for your patience in this and we hope to resolve this soon.

Please feel free to 'little r' me if you have any concerns.

RE: [OzMOSS] [listserver] List Posting Error Notification

[Ishai Sagi]

Aaron,
Hosting this list on sharepoint sounds like a very bad idea. Sharepoint is not 
an email-list management tool, is not designed to do it, and the workarounds 
that are embedded in the product do not allow for something like ozmoss.
I suggest we use a tool that was designed with something exactly like ozmoss in 
mind. If you insist on using Microsoft-built things, I know there used to be 
some products like Auto-DL (part of exchange 2000 SDK) that can be customized 
to work as a list server - using a real email server (exchange). However, I 
suggest we use a web one, and give administrative rights to our most common and 
trusted users, instead of relying on one company or one person - be it Readify 
or someone with a spare server and bandwidth(no offence Daniel).

I do appreciate the effort that went into starting OzMoss, and I think it 
proved a great tool - I know people from all around the world are subscribing - 
not just Australia. But if things continue this way, I fear that OzMoss will 
lose people who get annoyed with getting "Posting Errors" and other "junk" all 
the time, not to mention all the other stuff reported by people on this thread.

Just my 0.02$. I hope I wasn't too blunt - still trying to figure out when I 
should stop.

It seems like a no-brainer to me... just move it.  If people want a SharePoint 
site to collaborate, create knowledge bases, and share IP (hey, now doesn't 
that all sound like a novel idea ) then sure... fire up a portal.  There's no 
value in having people run mailing lists though - it's a waste of resources.

some products like Auto-DL (part of exchange 2000 SDK) that can be customized 
to work as a list server - using a real email server (exchange). However, I 
suggest we use a web one, and give administrative rights to our most common and 
trusted users, instead of relying on one company or one person - be it Readify 
or someone with a spare server and bandwidth(no offence Daniel).

 

I do appreciate the effort that went into starting OzMoss, and I think it 
proved a great tool - I know people from all around the world are subscribing - 
not just Australia. But if things continue this way, I fear that OzMoss will 
lose people who get annoyed with getting "Posting Errors" and other "junk" all 
the time, not to mention all the other stuff reported by people on this thread.

 

Just my 0.02$. I hope I wasn't too blunt - still trying to figure out when I 
should stop.

Hi All,

Sorry for any inconvenience caused by the errors you may be experiencing with 
the system.

Matt, Dan and I are looking to move the listserver off the current platform 
which is MailEnable. We will be looking for a proper SharePoint implementation 
with search, auto subscribe etc.

 

Thanks for your patience in this and we hope to resolve this soon.

 

Please feel free to 'little r' me if you have any concerns.

 

Cheers.

 

Regards,

Aaron Saikovski

Matthew,

 

No one wants to jump ship. We simply want to limit the problems and return 
stability.

 

It's a gross understatement to suggest there has only been one issue, unless of 
course the same one recurs with high frequency and is responsible for all the 
others. It seems that some people have been lucky but many others, like myself, 
have had nothing but problems since subscribing.

 

I try to put my inherent paranoia aside when receiving the "you are not 
subscribed" messages. J

 

If it assists in debugging, the problems I am receiving are as follows:

 

Problem:   Can't post to list. Various errors.

Affected:   Usually affects everyone.

Frequency:Intermittent

Solution:Resubscribing sometimes does the trick.

 

Problem:   Read receipts and/or Out of Office replies.

Affected:   All

Frequency:Constant

Solution:Server-side filtering and unsubscribe (with message) those 
responsible.

 

Problem:   MIME types and multi-part messages garbled

Affected:   Most

Frequency:Constant

Solution:Enable and properly configure mime-types. Limitation of list 
software? Client-side email software can also be the cause.

 

Problem:   Outages (server or otherwise)

Affected:   All   

Frequency:Intermittent

Solution:Change host? Account payment?

 

I appreciate that this list is not the only one to be affected by these 
problems and that some might occasionally be unavoidable. But it's also just 
possible that moving to a proven platform and solution might rectify many of 
these.

Paul
