WoodWing Publishing Solutions
Smart Connection Pro & Enterprise
Since 1997, WoodWing Software engineers have
worked with the Adobe InDesign engineering team
to create editorial solutions for Adobe InDesign and
InCopy. With a combination of publishing experience
and a deep knowledge of the Adobe InDesign/InCopy
architecture, WoodWing Software offers solutions,
productivity tools and plug-ins that make publishing
with these programs faster, easier and much more
effective.
Smart Connection is a powerful workflow solution
aimed at publishing environments where Adobe
InDesign CS3 and InCopy CS3 drive production.
Smart Connection allows designers to work on a
layout while editors write content - simultaneously.
One can even assign different stories from one page
to separate editors. Editors have the ability to see
how their copy will rest on the designed page. Smart
Connection’s easy-to-use interface is one of its very
much appreciated features. The open XML-based
architecture allows quick and flexible integration with
a variety of platforms and systems.
WoodWing products include the acclaimed Smart
Connection Pro & Enterprise editorial solutions, Smart
Layout, Smart Catalog, Smart Styles, Smart Speller,
Smart Hyphen and others. WoodWing is based in
Zaandam, The Netherlands, and has offices in Kuala
Lumpur and the United States. Customers are served
through select partners.
Smart Layout
Smart Layout optimizes and speeds up the layout
process by adding the Article concept to InDesign. An
Article consists of several elements, such as the head,
intro, body and also images. Smart Layout defines a
relationship between these elements.
Smart Layout’s intelligent behavior and automatic
processes strongly improve the efficiency of InDesign
users working with multiple columns of text. This is of
particular interest for newspapers and magazines with
tight deadlines.

Smart Catalog
Smart Speller
Smart Catalog is a scalable and powerful solution to
publish variable data right from inside Adobe InDesign
CS3. Smart Catalog links data from a plain text- or
XML file, or a database to an InDesign document.
Once the corresponding links have been set up, Smart
Catalog lets you manage the data in your InDesign
document.
Smart Speller adds the enhanced spelling functionality
of the language institute *TALŌ to Adobe InDesign and
Adobe InCopy CS3.
Smart Speller offers tremendous improvements to the
spelling provided by InDesign and InCopy. In addition
to enhanced spelling functionality for languages that
are standard available in InDesign and InCopy, Smart
Speller also introduces spelling functionality for other
languages that are not available in standard InDesign
and InCopy.
Smart Catalog can be used to efficiently create any
publication that links to external data. Examples
include price lists, image catalogs, product overviews,
travel brochures, exhibition books, etc.
Smart Hyphen
Updating the publication with the latest information
then becomes as easy as one push on a button.
Smart Hyphen introduces the intelligent syllable
technology of the *TALŌ language modules to Adobe
InDesign and Adobe InCopy CS3, adding an almost
human understanding of language. Smart Hyphen
offers tremendous improvements to the standard
hyphenation provided by InDesign and InCopy,
and also adds a number of languages to these
applications. Languages are continually maintained
and updated. Text flow and white space will be
improved dramatically.
Smart Styles
The award-winning Smart Styles automated styling
tool delivers powerful formatting capabilities to Adobe
InDesign CS3 users. This unique software combines
object-, table- and smart text styles into powerful
Smart Styles.
Smart Styles are conveniently stored in libraries and
can be applied with a simple drag and drop to set
all of the styling attributes of the object or group of
objects. Smart Styles removes repetitive and timeconsuming tasks and ensures consistent formatting.

Introducing Smart Connection
Enterprise
Welcome to Smart Connection Enterprise,
a prominent member of WoodWing’s Smart
Publishing Team.
For copy-driven stories, Smart Styles can be used
to quickly format the complete story in one single
action.
Smart Connection is a powerful workflow solution
aimed at publishing environments where Adobe
InDesign CS3 and InCopy CS3 drive production.
Smart Connection allows designers to work on a
layout while editors write content - simultaneously.
One can even assign different stories from one page
to separate editors. Editors have the ability to see
how their copy will rest on the designed page. Smart
Connection’s easy-to-use interface is one of its very
much appreciated features. The open XML-based
architecture allows quick and flexible integration with
a variety of platforms and systems.
Smart Layout can be used to easily create layouts
for new articles consisting of multiple unlinked stories.
These Smart Layout items can be sent to InCopy as
one unit without the need to select all elements one by
one. Smart Layout further enables InCopy editors to
create articles with multiple components and to adjust
an article so it fits the Smart Layout item exactly.
Smart Speller adds the enhanced spelling
functionality of the language institute*TALŌ to Adobe
InDesign and Adobe InCopy CS3.
Smart Hyphen introduces the intelligent syllable
technology of the *TALŌ language modules to Adobe
InDesign and Adobe InCopy CS3.
Smart Connection Enterprise in combination with
WoodWing’s Smart Styles, Smart Layout, Smart
Speller and Smart Hyphen plug-ins form a Smart
Publishing Team.

Chapter 02 Introducing Enterprise
1. Enterprise new features
individual item is still following its own workflow, but
the Dossier itself has a workflow of its own. Apart from
the ease in the content creation process, the Dossier
is also very important when sending content to other
systems (Web/Archive).
The following features are new to Smart
Connection Enterprise version 5.0:
For version 5.0 we limit Dossiers to some simple user
interface features within InDesign and InCopy. This will
be further expanded in future releases.
Pagination per edition
This feature introduces the possibility for planning
tools to vary the page numbering on a per edition
basis. Changing the viewed edition in InDesign will
update the page numbering accordingly. Equally the
generated output PDF or EPS page numbers will vary
per edition will vary.
Full scripting support
Introduction of scripting to InDesign, InCopy and
InDesign Server for easy access to the Smart
Connection Enterprise functionality. This includes
among other things:
log in/out,
all types of queries,
creating, opening and saving articles in
InCopy and layouts in InDesign
creating, checking in/out and placing of
articles and images on a layout
Prevent download of placed objects
In InDesign, the linked objects are no longer
downloaded to the client if they are not needed. This
drastically improves the performance when images
are stored in the Enterprise system.
Relative date/time queries
The user query functionality has been extended to
include relative queries. The options Within Last and
Within Next have been added to date/time criteria
with the ability to specify a number of minutes, hours,
days, weeks or months. Also fixed options to query
Today, Yesterday, Tomorrow, Last Week and Next
Dossiers
Dossiers are introduced to facilitate the cross-media
content production process and allows the grouping
of (news) items. For example: articles, images, video
clips and audio clips that are related to the same topic
can be packed together in a single dossier. Each
Intro
Access rights on meta data
Through the Dialog Setup screen of the WebApps,
it is now possible to mark fields in the dialogs as
restricted. Restricted fields require that the user has
been given the right to change that property. Like
other access rights, the right to change restricted
properties is controlled through Access Profiles.

articles at the same time.
Larger work area—Dynamic panes enable
to adjust the work area to your needs.
Automatic save—Safety backup in

View versions—Open old versions in readonly mode.
Flexible dialogs—Customizable workflow
dialogs.
Word counts—Characters, word and
paragraphs are shown.
More basic formatting—Subscript,
superscript, bullets and numbering
CS3 Text Variables and Smart Catalog

Preserve advanced formatting—Various
advanced InCopy formats are preserved, even
when not shown in the editor, such as drop
caps and line indentions.
Sticky Notes and improved page navigation
at preview pane.
Locate frames between text and
preview—Find current text frame at preview
or vice versa.
Improved interface—Resizable text area
and side pane with preview, versions, word
count and messages.
Paste HTML from web sites—All text
and most formatting is converted into InCopy
format, such as fonts, colors, sizes.
Admin SOAP interface
For integration purposes, Enterprise version 5.0
introduces a SOAP interface that gives integrators
the opportunity to act on the administration part of
the Enterprise Server. The unlocked functionality
includes:
Listing, creation, retrieval and modification of
publications
issues
sections
editions
Listing, retrieval and creation of
users

Web Editor useability enhancements
The Web Editor that is part of Smart Connection
Enterprise version 5.0 has been entirely redesigned
from the ground up and offers a robust architecture
with the far future in mind.
It contains the following new features:
Multiple tabs—Each article displays in its
own tab, thereby facilitating working on multiple
Chapter 02 Introducing Enterprise
more information and examples, see the Enterprise
User Guide.
Server-side licensing & concurrent licensing
In Enterprise 5.0 the server installation needs to be
activated before it can be used. After activation the
number of concurrent connections to the Enterprise
system is maximized by the number of purchased
seats. The new licensing system also adds support for
subscription licensing. Part of the same system is the
ability to install client licenses of InDesign/InCopy and
the Web Editor as concurrent licenses. The Enterprise
system will limit the number of clients that can work
at the same time on a system, but the software itself
can be installed on more workstations then the limit
allows, thus using seats more efficiently.
Planning SOAP interface
A number of new features have been added to the
planning interface:
A displacement of the content with respect to
the outside frame can be specified for adverts.
This allows adverts with a large bleed to be
positioned correctly on the page
A layer name can be specified for an advert.
The InDesign client will move the advert to the
specified layer and create the layer if needed.
Planners can now make changes to layouts
that are open in InDesign for editing.
For new and existing pages a master page
can be specified which should be used as its
basis
Current Issue concept
With this feature the users no longer have to think
in which issue they need to store their objects and
create queries that have to be updated each time after
starting work on a new issue. The current issue can
be set on a per publication basis in the publication
setup. Users simply store their work in the issue
labeled Current. As a result, the issue drop-down in
the workflow dialogs will contain an additional Current
and a derived Next issue entry. Both entries will show
the value of the named issue in parentheses. The
issue list box in user query setup dialog will have three
new entries: Previous, Current and Next which are all
bound to or derived from the set current issue. For
InCopy cross-media enhancement
It’s now possible to create hyperlinks in the text in
InCopy (and InDesign) such that the URL can be used
in a web CMS to create a real hyperlink.

Many more features: Articles in draft, work
off-line, User Messages, Spelling checker, etc.

1. The Enterprise concept
This chapter explains the concept behind the
Smart Connection Enterprise system itself, as
well as its components and terminologies used.
Smart Connection Enterprise (Enterprise) conceptually
separates design from content to allow designers
and editors to work in tandem. This parallel workflow
enables them to work simultaneously on the same
publication, section, or on a single page.
Enterprise uses a workflow approach common among
publishers. It is publication based, meaning that it takes
a publication such as a newspaper, magazine, book or
newsletter as its foundation. The System Administrator
sets up the workflow for the particular project, then
allows designers and editors access as needed. For a
typical publication the workflow will most likely follow
this setup: Publication / Issue / Section. (See figure 1
on the next page.)

1.1 Flexibility
1.2 The Enterprise structure
Smart Connection Enterprise is also effective for
publishing processes unrelated to magazines,
newspapers or other periodicals. As an Administrator,
you can change the terminology to suit the workflow
needs. The workflow terms could be “Client” instead
of “Publication,” and “Brand” instead of “Issue,” and
“Project” instead of “Section,” if your workflow is client
and project oriented. This adaptability to numerous
environments makes Smart Connection Enterprise
extremely flexible.
A typical Enterprise workflow based on a publication
setup consists of a hierarchical structure as shown in
figure 1.2 on the next page.
As you can see, the first layer within the structure
consists of three areas: Users, Groups and
Publications. Each created user needs to be assigned
to a group in order to have access to a publication.
Since the users and groups reside on the same global
layer as the publications, they need to be created
only once and can be assigned to any created
publication.

Figure 1.2 The Smart Connection Enterprise structure
A Publication could for instance be a magazine or a
newspaper and can consist of the following:
Issue Such as today’s issue or tomorrow’s
issue. Note that an issue can have its own
setup of editions, workflow, routing rules and
user authorization rules, thereby overruling the
publication setup.
Edition Such as a morning edition or evening
edition.
Section Such as a news or sports section
Workflow The workflow that a layout or its
components need to follow (such as the first
draft and final version of an article).
Routing rules An automated workflow where
a layout or its components can be routed to a
particular group of users once a certain status
has been reached.
User authorizations Rules that provide
users with access to web applications and/or
specific functions within the client application.
Admin authorizations Rules that provide
users with administration access to the
publication.

Chapter 03 The concept
1.2.1 In detail
issue feature in InDesign and InCopy, see the Smart
Connection Enterprise User Guide.)
The following section describes each area in more
detail.
Issue For each publication, one or more issues
are created, such as today’s newspaper, this year’s
catalog or next month’s magazine.
Enterprise determines the previous and next
issue based on the order of the issues as set
on the Publication Maintenance page.
With Smart Connection Enterprise 5.0, a new
feature is introduced: Current Issue. For
each publication, a current issue can be set to be the
issue that is going to be published next. In a daily
newspaper environment, this would typically be
tomorrow’s paper. (This option is set on the Publication
Maintenance page, see section 3.1 Creating your
Publications in Chapter 8: Publication and Workflow
Setup.)
When an issue needs a different setup for editions,
sections, workflows, routing rules and user
authorizations than those set for the main publication,
these settings can be overruled and individual settings
that apply just for a specific issue can be set.
Editions Editions have been introduced since
Enterprise 4.2 and allow the creation of different
renditions of the same publication, such as localized
publications of the same regional newspaper where
articles or adverts can be varied whilst keeping the
remainder of the newspaper identical.
When a current issue is set for a publication (which is
optional), users will be able to save to and query on a
‘current issue’ rather than referring to a specific issue
by name. This is especially handy when creating a
query since the query only needs to be created once
and can be used every time, giving different results
depending on which issue is current at that time. (For
more information on the functionality of the current
It is possible to assign either a complete page to one
or more renditions, or only certain components of a
page. The output will then generate different renditions
when needed or combine renditions when possible.
15
Basics
Publication At the highest level within the Enterprise
structure, a publication can be created that represents
the actual newspaper, magazine, catalog etc.
Together with the current issue option a ‘previous
issue’ and ‘next issue’ is also introduced, allowing
users to save to or query on issues that preceded or
will follow the current issue, again without having to
refer to it by name.

section to be routed to a particular group of users
once a certain status has been reached. For instance,
a rule could be set up for a news article to be routed
to the Chief Editor as soon as it reaches the status
Final Version.
Basics
(For more information on the functionality of editions
in InDesign and InCopy, see the Smart Connection
Enterprise User Guide.)
User authorizations Authorizations to the files of your
publication as well as access to the web applications
are set with a number of authorization rules. Each rule
defines the authorizations for a user group which can
be set specific per section and/or workflow status.
Section A section can be set up for a publication to
specify a news or sports section of a newspaper, a
chapter of a book or product range in a catalog.
Workflow A workflow consists of a file type/status
combination. File types are determined by Enterprise
and the following file types are currently available:
Article
Article template
Layout
Layout template
Image
Advert
By adding a group of users to the User Authorization
section of a publication, these users will be granted
access to the web applications as well as certain
features within the client applications InDesign and
InCopy, depending on the settings set in the access
profile.
Advert template
Plan
Audio
Video
Library
Dossier
Admin authorizations By adding a group of users
to the Admin Authorization section of a publication, all
users will have access to the Maintenance section of
that publication.
The administrator manually sets up a group of statuses
for each file type, one for each stage of the workflow
that it needs to pass. For example: an article workflow
could be set up containing a First Draft, Second Draft
and Final Version status.
Deadlines Deadlines ensure that users know when
files (articles, layouts, etc.) need to be finished by.
Deadlines are determined by first deciding on a
publication date: the final date when the issue is
going to be published. Using this date, a Deadline
is determined: the date when the issue needs to be

ready for output.
Other deadlines can then be assigned to editions,
sections and statuses and can be entered as either
a fixed calendar date or a date relative to other
deadlines or the main deadline. Relative dates are
preferable since they allow automatic and instant
updating of all other related deadlines set throughout
the publication.
Basics
A color coding and reporting system is used
throughout various parts of the interface (both on the
server side and client side) allowing users to visually
track the current deadline status for that part of the
publication.
Non-working days and holidays can be set up
in Enterprise so that they are excluded from
the deadline calculation. (For more information, see

also act as a client. All of these clients connect to the
customizable Application Server via a publishing
oriented XML/SOAP interface. The Application Server
has all the business logic to determine which actions
are allowed, which actions trigger other actions etc.
The application server connects via a Database
independent module to the underlying SQL database
and a file server to store the binary files. See section 4:
Architecture in-depth for a more detailed description
of each layer.
Enterprise uses a three-tier architecture consisting of
the Client, Application Server and Database:
Client
SOAP
Application Server
During the nineties the three-tier model was used
more and more to allow scalable solutions, with a big
boost during the internet hype. Often ignored is the
de-coupling of the layers and as a result, a lot of threetier systems have a lot of business logic encapsulated
into the clients, making customization impossible and
limiting flexibility.

if integrated with a CMS it will talk to a completely
different server without the WoodWing server involved
at all. The same independence is also available
between the Application Server and the Database.

Figure 2b. Application Server and Database separated
One possible set-up is to run all layers on one machine,
a typical demo setup which we don’t rule out here.
For small installations, the Application Server and the
Database can run on one machine:
You can introduce as many additional application servers
as you want or need. Depending on your database
choice, you can also distribute your database:

Another typical setup is to have the Application Server

3. Integration
4.1 The clients
Besides the free choice of which database to use,
you are also free to choose the complete back-end
system. Because the client applications communicate
with the server via an open SOAP interface, any backend can be integrated as long as it provides a thin
SOAP layer. System Integrators never had such an
easy way of fully integrating InDesign and InCopy
whilst publishers can easily integrate InDesign and
InCopy with any content management system such
as EMC’s Documentum.
The clients communicate with the Application server
using SOAP (XML messages via HTTP). The SOAP
interface is documented in a so-called WSDL which
allows you to integrate any client or integrate the
Enterprise clients with any server. Several WoodWing
partners have created additional applications using
this SOAP layer, including planning tools, wire tools
etc.

4. Architecture in-depth
Besides the traditional clients, Enterprise also comes
with a number of Web applications (WebApps). The
out-of-the-box WebApps can be used to manage the
stored database files by browsing and querying for
your files and subsequently changing document meta

or showing management information via convenient
pie-charts, column charts and much more. (For
more information on the WebApps, see the Smart
Connection Enterprise User Guide.)
The Application Server consists of the following
modules:
SOAP
These WebApps are PHP pages implementing specific
features. The PHP page itself executes on the server
where the user can use any web browser as the frontend user interface. As usual with Enterprise, it’s all
open, so the user interface of these WebApps can
be customized via HTML templates, the functionality
can be adapted via PHP or you can have your own
WebApps developed. The WebApps also connect via
the Application server which means all business logic
is in full effect and the WebApps themselves remain
very simple.

We have put a lot of effort into this layer to ensure
that it is flexible enough to integrate with any backend system. Also, it has been designed with remote
usage in mind. With traditional three-tier systems, the
communication is typically very chatty, meaning a lot
of messages are send back and forth resulting in poor
remote performance. The Enterprise SOAP protocol
has been designed from the ground up to be as
least chatty as possible, thereby ensuring maximum
performance and scalability.

The SOAP services are used for clients to connect
via HTTP. The PHP interface goes directly into the
business logic layer with the same calls as those used
by the SOAP layer. The business layer connects to
the Database via the Database Interface offering DB
independence.

The Application Server contains PHP sources and

via CGI or ISAPI/NSAPI.
file system, the latter being the default setup. When
storing the files in the file system, it is important to
realize that the client layer does not access the file
server directly; this is all done via the application server
which guards over the files. So from the client side
there is no need to mount a file server: the network
communication is all plain internet protocol.
Basics
The configuration module contains all typical
settings used to configure the application server. If
needed, the business logic layer can be further
customized via PHP.
The default data model contains tables for the editorial
entities such as publication, issues, section and
objects but also holds relations between objects for
tracking which article is placed in which page, which
article is planned, which pages are part of which
InDesign layouts, which versions are available etc.
Furthermore it also contains tables for Enterprise’s
publishing oriented security model. Lastly some
tables are available for globally defined queries and
user specific settings to allow roaming users.
Depending on the setup, the business logic will store
all files as blobs inside the SQL database or it will
store all meta data and relations in the database and
the files themselves into a file system. In the latter
case, which is the default setup, the file system is
conceptually part of the database layer.
4.3 The database layer
As indicated earlier, the database can be any common
SQL database. Supported databases vary per
reseller and integrator. The data model can be easily
customized to allow custom meta data fields on top
of the very rich meta data offered out of the box. If
needed, the data model can also be integrated with
existing databases. Enterprise even allows the use of
non-SQL databases which would just require a PHP
script to connect to the non-SQL database.
As was mentioned in the previous section, the actual
files can be either stored inside the database or in the

Basics
Deployment strategy
1. Where to store the files
Before actually starting your installation, you
need to consider the deployment strategy.
As explained in the previous chapter, Smart
Connection Enterprise can be installed in
various configurations. This chapter will provide
some basic guidance. Consult your local reseller
or integrator for advice based on your particular
situation.
Enterprise supports three models to store the actual
files:
As plain files in the file system
As compressed files in the file system
As a blob inside the database
In all cases, the database contains all meta data and
the client layer will never access the files directly, this
is always done via the application server.
When using MySQL, we strongly advice to
store the files outside the database. For other
databases we advice to store them outside the
database as well, except if there are compelling
arguments not to.
26
Chapter 05 Deployment strategy
2. Machine setup
For larger systems (150 users and up) we
advise using a dedicated server for the File
Store, a dedicated database server and one or
more application servers.
As explained in the previous chapter, there are various
options for allocating the Enterprise components to
machines. The components to allocate are:
The Application Server
The Database
The File Store (also needed when storing the
files as blobs in the database)
3. Network configuration
It is impossible to provide generic advice on how
to allocate these modules to machines as it highly
depends on the hardware used, type of publication
(file sizes), interaction frequency, number of users etc.
Therefore, please keep in mind that the following are
just some generic rules of thumb:
Although typical clients are connected to a 100 Mbit
network, we strongly advise a 1 Gbit (or higher) network
between the application server and the server holding
the files (data base or file store). A separate network
segment is recommended as well.
For very small systems up to 50 users, put
all components on one machine. This means
the least administration overhead.
For small to medium sized systems from
50 to 150 users, separate the application
server to a separate machine and run the
database and File Store on one machine.
Depending on the hardware used it could also
make sense to separate the file system and run
the database and application server on one
machine. Depending on the actual system load
you could introduce an additional application
server.
Client
100 Mbit
or more

Figure 3. Preferred network configuration

1 Gbit or
more
Basics
Whichever configuration you choose, it is important
to realize that any file transfer happens from database
to application server and from application server to
client. Whenever the files (either inside a data base or
file store) are not stored on the same machines as the
application server, each file will be transferred across
the network twice.
Chapter 05 Deployment strategy
Basics
When the system will be used by many client
applications, we advise to set up separate network
segments for both the client and application servers.
In other words: use a network segment for a number
of users and a dedicated application server for these
users. Each application server is then connected to
two network segments: the client segment, as well
as the high-speed segment to connect to the data
base/file store.

steps for completely installing the Enterprise
server components. As a starting point it is
assumed that the basic server installation

Section G Upgrading to Enterprise 5.0
Section H Testing the installation
1. Upgrading your server
If you have already installed Enterprise server and
want to upgrade to version 5.0, you need to replace
the server software and update the database model.
(See Section G: Upgrading to Enterprise 5.0 for more
details.)
The following sections will start with the generic actions
for a standard installation using the standard paths
on Mac OS, Windows or RedHat Linux. Following
that, additional information is given for customized
installations. If a single server setup is performed,
the basic installation steps should be sufficient to
set up the system without modifying any Enterprise
configuration file.
2. Server installation
At high-level, the installation consists of the following
steps:

Chapter 06 Server installation
Section A. Dbase installation & configuration
Section A1. MySQL installation
Smart Connection Enterprise 5.0 has been extensively
tested and is certified by WoodWing to work with
either MySQL v4.1.x and 5.0.x, Oracle 9/10 or MSSQL
2005.
Enterprise has been extensively tested and is
certified by WoodWing to work with MySQL.
Contact your local reseller/integrator or visit
www.mysql.com for the latest information on certified
versions of MySQL. In general, we advice to always
use the latest/newest versions of all supported
applications.
Installation of each of these database servers is
different so each will be documented under its own
heading. Note that we will mostly skip the installation
of the database server itself and refer to its installation
manual to correctly install the database server.
Special consideration though will be given on how to
configure the different database servers to work with
Enterprise.
Before installing MySQL v5.0.x, make sure
that any other currently installed version of
MySQL is not running. (For more information, refer to
the MySQL Read Me file.)
Using XAMPP or WAMMP. XAMPP or
WAMMP (Windows) is a distribution which
combines Apache, PHP and MySQL in a single
package, thereby making it ideal for quickly setting up
a new Enterprise server. XAMPP is available for most
operating systems and is readily available at http://
sourceforge.net/projects/xampp. First install XAMPP
and then complete the configuration of Smart
Connection Enterprise by following the relevant
sections in this manual.

Select this option to make sure MySQL is
started automatically. Normally this option is
already selected by default.
Step 6. If you install MySQL in a folder other than
C:\MYSQL, or if you intend to start MySQL on
NT/Win2000 as a service, you must create a
file named C:\MY.CNF or \Windows\my.ini with
the following information:

Option 1: Creating Separate Users
Creating two separate users involves creating a Root
user (who has limited database access and can not
alter tables) and creating a WoodWing user having
most rights and for example the ability to alter tables.
Normal users of the system would typically use the
Root account to log in to the Oracle database.

added.)
Creating two separate users involves creating a Root
User and a WoodWing User.
Creating the WoodWing User
Step 1. Log in to the appropriate Oracle
Enterprise Manager with user name SYS as

Section B. ionCube installation
Server
For security reasons, Smart Connection Enterprise
Server uses ionCube to encrypt some of its PHP
modules. ionCube is a third-party product that
is shipped within the server software package.
The ionCube product consists of modules that
are precompiled and so they are dependant on
the operating system, the platform and the PHP
version used. Those modules can be found in the
/SCEnterprise/server/ioncube folder. The module that
matches the platform, processor and PHP version
needs to be loaded by the web service on startup.
Section B1. How to install ionCube
The following table lists the supported platforms by
ionCube. Some platforms are supported out-of-thebox, some need manual installation steps and some
are not supported (see the overview below the table

Explanation
ionCube works out-of-the box. The module
is located in the /server/ioncube folder and is
loaded automatically by the web service.
If your platform/processor is not listed, it might
be available at:
For Windows installations, the ionCube module
needs to be configured in the php.ini file:
[1]
http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php
[4]
zend_extension_ts =
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\
SCEnterprise\server\ioncube\
ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll
If so, see Section B3: How to upgrade
ionCube.
A version of IonCube is only available for PHP
v5.1. This version is not officially supported by
Smart Connection Enterprise which requires
PHP v5.2. However, you can use it for demo
purposes.
The ionCube module in the /server/ioncube
folder is present, but is for the wrong processor
type. You need to move the module away to
a new sub folder and then copy the correct
modules from “sub folder” (see column at table
above) to the ionCube folder. Then restart web
service.
Section B2. Shipped ionCube versions
For example, assume you have PPC processor
for Mac OSX, you need to do the following:
1. Create a directory named
/server/ioncube/dar_x86
2. Move ioncube_loader_dar_* to
/server/ioncube/dar_x86
3. Copy /server/ioncube/dar_ppc/*
to /server/ioncube
4. Restart Apache: sudo apachectl restart

Section C. PHP installation & configuration
Enterprise has been extensively tested and is certified
by WoodWing to work with PHP v5.2.0 to 5.2.4.
Contact your local reseller/integrator for the latest
information on certified versions of PHP.
For Linux, also install the MySQL extension for
PHP.
Windows
For Mac OS and Linux it is important to use a PHP
distribution that includes the GD2, SOCKETS,
MBSTRING and EXIF libraries. The Mac OS PHP
distribution by Entropy and the XAMPP distribution
contains these libraries. Red Hat Enterprise Linux
v3.x PHP distribution is also known to include these
libraries.
The PHP installer for Windows will prompt you
to select your IIS version. The following table
shows which version is built into which version
of Windows:

When MSSQL is used in combination
with MS IIS, it is required to use the ISAPI
version of PHP. The ISAPI version of PHP can
only be installed manually.

When one of the following DLLs is missing,
copy them from PHP setup’s extensions folder
(available on the Enterprise CD in the Manual
Installation/Extensions folder) to C:/php/ext:
php_gd2.dll
php_exif.dll
php_sockets.dll
php_mbstring.dll
When using MS SQL Server, also copy
php_mssql.dll.
Location (depending on installation): user:local:
php5:lib.
The php.ini file can be edited by using a
text editor such as TextWrangler or
BBEdit. Use the menu File > Open Hidden to
browse to /usr/local/php5/lib or use Finder to
directly open the folder by selecting Go > Go to
Folder. Enter /usr/local/php5/lib/. Alternatively,
start the Terminal (Applications:Utilities:Terminal)
and enter:
cd /usr/local/php5/lib
sudo pico -w php.ini
Type the Root Password and you are ready to
edit.
Make sure when using MSSQL 2005
that the Client Tools are installed on
each of the Enterprise Application Server
machine(s), otherwise the connection to the
database will fail. This is because PHP5 ships a
bad version of the ntwdblib.dll module
(2000.2.8.0) which also resides at a bad location
(c:\php). This module needs to be removed
manually after PHP5 installation. A newer
version (2000.80.194.0) is installed at a better
location (c:\windows\system32) by the Client
Tools installation. After this update, it is required
to reboot the machine or restart Internet
Services. Note that installing Client Tools will not
install the MSSQL server, which is good to know
when your Application Servers are running on
different machines than your database.

A typical setup would be to create a root

Since you are editing PHP code, always use forward
slashes (/) as path separators and make sure to keep
the correct PHP syntax.
When the database will be on a different server than
the Application Server or when you do not use MySQL
or files must be stored in the database, or you want to
use a different file structure in the File Store, you also
need to edit configserver.php. (See Chapter 9: Server

Step 4. Creating the SCEnterprise database
Step 5. Configuring configserver.php
How to create the database depends on the database
server used. Please note that the database does not
have to be named SCEnterprise, you can name it any
way you want. Make sure though that the DBSELECT
option in config.php is named likewise.
When not using MySQL or when the database
server is separated from the application server,
the configserver.php file needs to be edited. You
can find configserver.php in the same location
as config.php. Open it in a editor and adjust the
following values if needed:
MSSQL Server
Inside MSSQL Server Enterprise
Manager, create a database named
SCEnterprise.
DBTYPE
Either oracle, mssql or mysql (default)
(Make sure the values are in lower case.)

See section A2.
Chapter 06 Server installation
DBSERVER
Usually localhost, but dependent on where the
database server is located.

Step 6. Run wwtest.
After creating the database, it is wise to
run preliminary tests on the wwtest page
(http://localhost/SCEnterprise/server/wwtest)
to find out how the installation is progressing.
Fix any errors until wwtest reports no more
errors. If that is the case, proceed to Step 7.
(See also Section H: Testing the Enterprise
Server.)
Figure F. The DBAdmin page
Step 7. After creating the database,
open your web browser and go to
http://localhost/SCEnterprise/server/admin/
dbadmin.php (see figure F). If all is well, the
web page will tell you that no tables have been
created yet. Click on Update to create the
Enterprise tables and populate them with initial
values.
Oracle
To be able to run dbadmin.php succesfully,
you need to set the DBUSER in config.php
to Woodwing. This is a temporary measure
because the normal Root user does not have
the privileges to create or alter tables. Be sure
to reset DBUSER to Root after having run
dbadmin.php.
When a Combined User has been
created (see the section Creating
Database Users), this step is not needed.

Additional Enterprise Server Information
The standard setup uses a database user root
without password. This is obviously not secure (it is
just used to ease initial installation) and we strongly
recommend to create and use a new database user
WITH a password.
If any problems arise, you may want to create
the database yourself by executing the relevant
sql scripts available in the /scenterprise/server/
dbscripts folder in your database tool.
The following assumes you are upgrading from Smart
Connection Enterprise version 4.10. Replace 410 by
420 when upgrading from version 4.2.x. Replace by
340 when upgrading from 3.4.x:

Server
Smart Connection Enterprise version 3.4 or higher
can be upgraded to version 5.0. This is a fairly simple
process, but before you upgrade you may want to
backup your data first as a safety precaution:
Step 1. Create a dump or backup of your
existing SCEnterprise database.
The configuration options are documented in the
configuration files themselves but you may also want
to read Section F: Installing Enterprise Server and/or
Chapter 9: Server Configuration.
Step 2. Back-up the File Store. (See Section F:
Step 2 for locations.)
Next, log in to Enterprise as administrator by opening
http://localhost/scenterprise/ in your web browser.
Step 3. Back-up SCEnterprise config files.
(See Section F: Step 3 for locations.)
Step 4. Back-up the SCEnterprise directory if
you have made modifications to the code. (See
Section F: Step 4 for locations.)
After having made the backup, remove the old
SCEnterprise folder and copy the new SCEnterprise
folder to that location. Then, if needed, reconfigure
SCEnterprise by editing config.php and/or configserver.
php. Note that it is not allowed to just copy the old
config.php/configserver.php over the new ones, as
important modifications to the configuration files have
been made and are necessary to run Enterprise 5.0.

3) When upgrading from Enterprise version 4.1
to version 5.0.0, you need to manually set the
identity flag on the first column (named 'id') of
the following tables:
smart_authorizations
smart_config
smart_ticket
This can be done in the MSSQL Enterprise
Manager.
The rules for creating custom properties have been
tightened so that more databases can be supported.
The smart_objects table (prefixed with c_) now uses
the name of a custom property (not the display name)
as the field name. Therefore, as from Enterprise
v4.2, it is not allowed anymore for the name of the
custom property to contain spaces and/or nonASCII characters. This means that if you have defined
custom properties which do not follow this new rule,
you need to rename the custom properties.
These changes are not required when
upgrading to Enterprise version 5.0.1 or
higher, since these settings are part of the
respective update scripts.
It may be needed to ‘ALTER TABLE’ the
smart_objects table, especially when using
an Oracle database since on Oracle these
changes are not automatically implemented.
When completed, a page displays showing that the
converted profiles have been added.
If you have defined named queries it may also
be needed to modify those as they may contain
references to custom properties by name.
Figure Gc. A message
displays
confirming
that the profiles have
been converted
Although it is not required by the system, when
upgrading to version 5 it is advised to change
the field types of the custom properties of type 'list'.
These fields are present in the smart_objects and
smart_deletedobjects table and are set to either BLOB
or CLOB by default. You may change these to
varchar(200) manually, in BOTH tables. This may
increase performance as well as prevent SQL errors.

Licensing

Server
Licensing
After installing Smart Connection Enterprise
Server, a license for it needs to be activated in
order to be able to use it. Similarly, licenses need
to be activated for the Web Editor as well as for
InDesign and InCopy.
This chapter explains all steps related to activating,
deactivating and removing licenses.
64
Chapter 07 Licensing
1. Introduction to licensing
1.2 Web Editor licenses
The following sections describe the various licenses
available.
The Web Editor application requires separate client
licenses to be activated. Web Editor licenses are per
concurrent user, which is taken once the user enters
the Web Editor. After closing the Web Editor (without
logging off) the user is still occupying a Web Editor
license which will be freed after log-off from the Web
Applications.
1.1 Server connection licenses
Before the server can be used, you will need to activate
Server Connection Licenses per concurrent user. An
external system or automatic process (such as Smart
Mover or a Planning System) also makes a connection
to the server, so will also need a connection license to
be available. When you have reached the number of
concurrent users, additional users won’t be able to
logon.
1.3 InDesign and InCopy licenses
An administrator can at any time logon to the
WebApp to remove logons for making
connections available again.
When using multiple system instances (each with
their own database) you will need to divide your
server connection licenses among the systems. The
concurrency is only offered per system instance.
When concurrent licenses are used and activated
server-side, you still need to activate the InDesign and
InCopy client plug-ins for concurrent licensing. With a
concurrent license serial you can activate an unlimited
amount of InDesign/InCopy plug-ins for concurrent
licensing. When logging in, the server will determine
if a concurrent license is available. If not, the log-on
will fail.
65
Server
Smart Connection Enterprise for InDesign and InCopy
can either be licensed seat-based or per concurrent
user. Seat-based licenses are activated client side via
the activation wizard or an activation file to activate
without user interference. Concurrent licenses are
administrated server-side via the same screens as the
server connections.

Concurrent client licenses require an additional
activation step on the server, using the same screens
as the server connections (as explained in the following
sections).
With a concurrent license serial you can activate an
unlimited amount of Web Editor users or InDesign/
InCopy plug-ins for concurrent licensing. When
logging in, the server will determine if a concurrent
license is available. If not, the log-on will fail.

1.2.2 Adding users and groups with LDAP
Group Data—Name, Description
Memberships—User groups that are defined
both in Enterprise and LDAP are assigned to
the user logging in
Server
By integrating LDAP with the Smart Connection
Enterprise server, the administrator is able to better
control user authorization as well as better maintain
user accounts.
LDAP Configuration
The first step is to enable LDAP for PHP. In the following
installation steps, it is assumed that you have installed
PHP in the C:\PHP folder.
With LDAP enabled (which is optional), user
authorization is controlled via the LDAP server and
not anymore through the Enterprise server. When
LDAP finds the log-in valid, Enterprise synchronizes
the user account by also making it available in its own
database (when missing). It will then check if there are
any user groups that are defined both in Enterprise
and LDAP. Only taking those groups into account, if a
user is assigned to a certain group in LDAP, that user
will be assigned to the corresponding Enterprise user
group as well.
Step 1. Check if the C:\PHP\ext folder exists. If
not, your PHP installation is not complete. Most
safe is to remove the entire PHP installation
and install a complete PHP version. This can
be done by renaming the C:\PHP folder and
creating a new C:\PHP folder to which you
install (or copy) a full new installation.
Step 2. Check in the C:\PHP\ext folder if the
php_ldap.dll module is present. If not, reinstall
PHP as described in step 1.
Synchronizing Users and User Groups
User groups that have already been set up in LDAP
can be synchronized by importing them to the
Enterprise server as opposed to creating groups
manually. Users are synchronized after successfully
logging in, after which a user account is created and
his/her (LDAP) group memberships are synchronized
with Enterprise.
Step 3. Check if the extension_dir option
is set correctly by opening the php.ini file
and searching for the extension_dir setting.
Make sure the setting looks as follows:
extension_dir="C:\PHP\ext"
The following data is synchronized:
User Data—ID, Full Name, Password,
E-mail, Deactivation
If there is a leading “;” semicolon (such as
;extension_dir=...), make sure you
remove the “;” to enable the setting.
84
Chapter 08 Publication and workflow setup
Step 4. Check if the LDAP module is enabled
by opening the php.ini file and searching for
php_ldap.dll. Make sure the setting looks as
follows: extension=php_ldap.dll.
information about the meaning of LDAP
configuration parameters.
Step 8. Run the http://localhost/SCEnterprise/
server/wwtest page and check if there are NO
errors or warnings. If the LDAP module could not
be found or loaded, download the Dependency
Walker tool from internet. Drag and drop the
C:\PHP\ext\php_ldap.dll module onto the tool
and see if there are any errors shown (ignore
the error about a missing php5ts.dll module) If
there are any modules missing, download them
from internet and install them at the appropriate
location.
If there is a leading “;” semicolon (such as
;extension=php_ldap.dll), make sure
you remove the “;” to enable the setting.
Importing user groups
Once LDAP support is enabled, you can import user
groups from LDAP into Enterprise:
Step 6. Restart IIS/Apache. (On Windows 2000
Server running IIS, it is not enough to just restart
IIS after enabling the php_ldap extension. You
have to restart the server itself.)
Step 1. Select Group from the Maintenance
menu. The Groups Overview page appears.
Step 2. Press the Import button.
Step 7. Enable LDAP for Enterprise by
uncommenting
the
NETWORK_DOMAINS
and LDAP_SERVERS options in the
configserver.php file. Enter your LDAP
server configuration in NetworkDomain and
LDAPServer objects as shown in the shipped
examples. Note: Comments are left in the
file referring to php files that provide more
Step 3. Select the network domain you want
to import from.
Step 4. Optionally: apply a query like ‘*Admin*’
to narrow down the results.
Step 5. Tag the groups you want to import.
85
Server
Step 5. Check if the SSL libraries are installed.
Browse to the c:\windows\system32 folder
and check if the ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll
modules are present. If not, copy them from the
PHP\Win32 binary package to the c:\windows\
system32 folder. After having copied the DLLs
to the systems32 folder, remember to add Read
and Execute permission to “everyone”.
Chapter 08 Publication and workflow setup
Step 2. Setting up access profiles
Step 6. Press the Import button.
The tagged groups should now be present in the
Enterprise database (including the group description
field).
Access profiles are groups of access rights which
can be applied to different user groups for different
publications. Access profiles are defined globally,
meaning that they can be reused when defining
multiple publications.
Through access profiles, certain features can be
disabled, preventing the user from using them. Access
Profiles are assigned by section/status combination
(when defining user authorizations for a publication/
issue) for one or more groups of users.
Server
The purpose of this is to be able to ensure that for
example changes to a file can only be made by users
from a specific group and only when a certain status
has been reached, thereby preempting unwanted
changes.
To create an access profile, do the following:
Step 1. Select Access Profiles from the
Maintenance menu. The Profile Overview page
appears. A default profile, Full Control, already
exists. (See figure 2a on the next page.)
86

of all rights and features, grouped under their relevant
headings:

Feature
Chapter 08 Publication and workflow setup
Server
The View and Read access rights can be
confusing at first. Normally people have View
and Read access rights if they are allowed to open a
file for reading. View only allows users to see files and
their status without providing the ability to open those
files for reading.
When a placed InCopy file is opened, the user
not only needs Access rights to the InCopy
file, but also Read access rights to the InDesign file in
order to enable Write to Fit. Here the separation
between View and Read comes in handy: for InCopy
users you can set not to have View access rights, but
do grant Read access rights to the InDesign file. This
way, they don’t see the InDesign files in their list but
they can open InCopy files and see them on the page
they are placed on.

Because of this, it is good practice to grant everybody

can access files if needed. The View access can
subsequently be used to determine which files are
shown to the user. Without the View access, the user
doesn’t see a file and thus cannot open the file.

Step 3. Setting up a publication
Section into your own terms, for example into Program,
Region, Book and Chapter. (For more information see
Section 10 Customizing the Web User Interface in
Chapter 9: Server Configuration.)
There are two types of publications that can be set
up: Periodic Publications (such as magazines and
newspapers) and Project-Oriented Publications
(typically used by books and ad-agencies).
3.1 Creating your publications
Periodic Publications
For periodic publications the sections, editions,
workflow and authorizations are all defined on
publication level. When a new issue is created, the
issue automatically receives the sections, editions,
workflow and authorizations for that publication.
To create a new publication, do the following:
Step 1. Select Publication from the
Maintenance menu. The Publication Overview
page appears. A default publication, WW
News, already exists.
Server
Project-oriented Publications
For project-oriented publications, Enterprise Issues
are used per project. For this purpose, Enterprise
allows you to define sections, editions, workflow and
authorizations per issue.
A
You can mix the periodic and project driven
publications within one Enterprise system. You
can even combine them within one publication. Note
that if you choose for an issue to overrule the
publication definitions, you will need to redefine these
completely for that issue.

Chapter 08 Publication and workflow setup
Step 4. Assigning administrators
At the most basic level, only a publication
name needs to be entered for creating a
publication. All other options can also be set at a later
stage.
There are two levels of administration. The first level
gives maintenance access to all publications and is
defined by enabling the Admin option of user groups.
(See Step 1: Creating Users and Groups earlier in this
chapter). The second level gives access to a single
publication. This can be done by adding groups under
Admin Authorization of the publication’s maintenance
page.
User, groups and profiles don’t have to be
defined per publication. Enterprise works with
a global list of users, groups and access profiles which
can be assigned per publication. (For more information,
see Step 1: Creating Users and Groups.)
When logging in as a user that belongs to the admin
group, all maintenance options for all publications are
available as well as all application options.
Figure 4. Two created groups with different administration
levels
In order to give members of the editors group
maintenance access to a specific publication, that
group needs to be added to the Admin Authorizations
section of that publication.
93
Server
For example, assume there are two groups as shown
in the figure 4a. The admin group has the Admin
option enabled. The editors group has the Admin
option disabled.
Chapter 08 Publication and workflow setup
Step 5. Creating an issue
To also give members of the editors group
access to the Applications section, the group
needs to be added to the User Authorizations section
of that publication. (For more information, see Section
11: Controlling User Authorizations.)
To create a new issue, do the following:

will not working properly.
To create a new section, do the following:
Step 1. For Periodic-oriented Publications:
Open the Publication Maintenance page for
the publication to which you want to add an
issue and locate the Section menu. (See figure

To be able to create sections per issue, you
need to enable the Overrule Publication option
for that issue. (For more information, See Step 5:
Creating an Issue.)
Chapter 08 Publication and workflow setup
Step 7. Creating editions
Slight differences exist between a Section
Maintenance page opened from the Publication
Maintenance page compared to one opened from the
Issue Maintenance page.
The editions option allows the creation of different
renditions of the same publication and works by
combining content that is similar with content that
in certain places differs. For instance, it is possible
to assign either a complete page to one or more
renditions, or only certain components of a page.

When outputting the publication, different renditions
will be generated by combining only those parts of the
publication that belong to the same edition. (See also
Chapter 3: The concept.)
To create a new edition, do the following:
Step 1. Open the Publication Maintenance
page for the publication to which you want to
add an edition and locate the Edition menu.
(See figure 7a.) Since we are working with a
newly created publication, no editions exist
yet.
Step 3. Fill the relevant fields.

Publication' option is used.
Enterprise is a workflow-driven system and each file
type within the workflow (such as a layout, article or
image) needs to be given a workflow status.
Step 2. Select New. The Edition Maintenance
page appears.
Each file type can have its own workflow (a set of
statuses grouped together in a status list) that can
be different per publication or even issue (for project
oriented workflows). A typical status list for a file could
for instance be First Draft, Second Draft, and Final
Version.

Step 3. Enter a name and description.
Step 4. Press Update to create the edition.
The Publication Maintenance page will appear

Now that a publication has been fully set up and
the necessary structure is in place, deadlines can
be assigned in more detail. This is done by setting
relative deadlines for editions, sections, statuses and
section/status combinations. The aim of this is to
finely control deadlines for each part of the publication
structure. (For more information on the concept of
deadlines, see Section 1.2.1: In Detail in Chapter 3:
The Concept.)
IMPORTANT: For the deadline functionality to
function properly, it is imperative that the next
sections are followed in order.

9.1 Defining relative deadlines
To set up a relative deadline, do the following:
Step 1. Open the Publication Maintenance
page for the publication to which you want to
set relative deadlines for.
Step 2. Click on the Alarm Clock icon next
to Time Settings. (See figure 9.1a on the next
page.)

Server
In the example shown in figure 9.1c, three editions
exist: Main, North and South. The North and South
editions must be finished earlier because newspapers
must be transported to the North and the South
regions. So for Main, 1 hour is entered and for North
and South 4 hours. Click the Update Editions button
to store these values to the database.
Chapter 08 Publication and workflow setup
Relative deadlines of Section States
In the scenario shown in figure 9.1d, all sections must
be finished at a certain time and the front page is
finished last. So 1 hour is entered for the front page
and 4 hours for all other sections. This means that
all sections except the front page must be finished 4
hours before the issue deadline. Click the Update
Sections button to store these values to the
database.

Normally, the above information is enough to manage
your deadlines but it may be that for certain sections
certain states normally take longer. This section allows
you to reserve more time for these states.
Click the Update Sections/States button to
recalculate these values from the Relative Deadlines of
States table and to store the values to the database.
This means that all section/state combinations are
reset to their default value as defined in the states
section.
Figure 9.1e Relative deadlines for statuses
Controls the time that each state is supposed to last.
All states are categorized by workflow type and are
ordered by their order in the list. The highest numbered
order is supposed to be last, so the time needed for
this state represents the time until section deadline.
Finishing the definition
You must have updated all these tables to
have a complete definition. Ensure therefore to
fill in the form from top to bottom. Click on ALL update
buttons at least once to complete the definition. If you
decide to add a section or state to the publication
definition, keep in mind that you have to update the
relative deadlines as well in order to have correctly
working deadlines.
When finished entering values, click the Update
States button to store these values to the database.
It is also possible to edit the relative deadlines
of states in the states maintenance screen.

Step 10. Automatic routing
routing when using one of the WebApps. But the
group is not shown the moment you check in a layout
or article on the client side.
Enterprise allows you to route files to a particular user
or group. When a user watches his/her Inbox, all files
will be shown that are either routed to him/her or any
of the groups he/she is a member of.
To create new routing rules, do the following:
Step 1. For Periodic-oriented Publications:
Open the Publication Maintenance page for the
publication to which you want to add routing
rules and locate the Routing menu. (See figure
10a.) For Project-oriented Publications:
Open the Issue Maintenance page for the
issue to which you want to add routing rules
and locate the Routing area.
The automatic routing features allow you to setup
routing to be applied automatically whenever a file
reaches a particular status. This can be defined per
section and/or status.
Server
For periodic-oriented publications you
will create new routing rules via the Publication
maintenance page.
For project-oriented publications, you
will create new routing rules via the Issue
maintenance page.
To be able to create routing rules per issue,
you need to enable the Overrule Publication
option for that issue. (For more information, see Step
5: Creating an Issue.)

Not all groups can be used for routing. Only
groups with the Routing option enabled can

restriction works on the client side but not on the
server side. So if you have not enabled the option for
a group you still can select the group for automatic

Authorizations to the files of your publication as well
as access to the web applications are set with a
number of authorization rules. Each rule defines the
authorizations for a user group which can be set

As the first step in setting up your authorizations,
we strongly advise to analyze your workflow,
user groups and the required access control on

Users can be assigned to multiple user groups.
Using this efficiently, it minimizes the number
of authorization rules you need and thereby easing up
the setup and maintenance.
Introducing a user group like All or All for <my
pub> allows you to set some generic access
control like View and/or Read rights for everybody
involved with the publication. This again minimizes the
number of authorization rules.
Step 4. Add the authorization rule by: a) Clicking the Add Authorization button.
110
Chapter 08 Publication and workflow setup
Step 12. Final settings
Because of this, it is good practice to grant everybody
working within a publication Read access rights
to every file in order to make sure that the system
can access files if needed. The View access can
subsequently be used to determine which files are
shown to the user. Without the View access, the user
won’t see a file and thus cannot open it.
To finish setting up the publication, return to
the Publication Maintenance page and in the
Current Issue drop-down menu, select the issue that
needs to be set as such (i.e. the issue that will be
published next). Note also that the Previous Issue and
Next Issue options are controlled by Enterprise itself
and is based on the order of the issues as set on the
Publication Maintenance page.
(For more information on the Profiles that are assigned,
see Step 2: Setting Up Access Profiles.)
111
Server
When multiple Issues are set up and the
Current Issue option is being used, it is
imperative that an order sequence is truly specified. If
this is not done (or not done correctly), Enterprise may
not be able to properly determine the Previous and
Next issues. (For more information on ordering issues,

Restricted
When checked, only users that have the option
‘Change Restricted Properties’ selected in their
Access Profile are allowed to edit the field. For all
other users the field will behave as an uneditable field
and will appear grayed-out.
When not checked, the setting of the ‘Change
Restricted Properties’ option in the user’s Access
Profile is not taken into account.
B13.2 Restricted meta data
When adding an action property, the way that meta
data field interacts with the user can be controlled
via three check boxes: Editable, Mandatory and
Restricted.
The working of each interaction is as follows:
Editable
When checked, the user will be able to edit the
content of the field, for instance by editing the default
value or by entering a new value.
When not checked, the field will appear grayed out
and will not be editable by the user. This can be used
for instance when a default value is given for a meta
data field that should not be changed.
Note that not all combinations of setting these
three options can be used. For instance:
making a field mandatory but not editable is illogical if
no default value is given.
Mandatory
When checked, the user is required to enter a value
in the field. If no value is entered and the user attempts
to go to the next step of the process (e.g. by clicking
an OK button in the dialog), the user is prompted that
a value is required for that field.
When not checked, the field can be left blank by
the user.

The first three columns returned should always

To support status colors and automatic
updating of column fields, your query also

StateId. Normally these are returned as the last
columns.
Step 2. Press the Update button to add the
query to the system. The Overview of Queries
page appears again.
Optional. Entries listed in combo box

must be separated using slashes ( / ).
While working on your named queries we

no default is set, the first entry is

The parameters can be used inside the SQL with

Newly created named queries will only be
available to a user when he/she logs out and
logs back in to the system. However, changes in the

The basic configuration settings are kept in the
config.php file. Check the following entries.
DBUSER
Database user to be used by the Application
Server. Note: this is the single database user
that is used by the application server to access
the database. This database user account
needs SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE
privileges.
1.1 Application server settings
BASEDIR
OS file path of the SCEnterprise folder. Make
sure you edit the correct BASEDIR setting of
your OS.
For creation and deletion of custom properties,
the database user also requires ALTER TABLE
privilege.
The application server itself authorizes all
requests for the user logged on via the
Enterprise user tables which are completely
separate from the database users. Default is
'root'; for MSSQL Server you could use
'sa' as default.
INETROOT

Chapter 09 Server configuration
2. Configuring your database usage
3. Where to store the files
The file configserver.php holds a number of settings
to configure your database usage. Verify the following
entries.
As explained in Chapter 5: Deployment Strategy, files
can either be stored inside the database or inside a
file system. This is determined by the following setting
in configserver.php:
2.1 Advanced database settings
DBTYPE
Type of database to used:
"mysql" MySQL (default option)
"mssql" MSSQL Server
"oracle" Oracle
DBSERVER
IP address of your database server. By default
this is the same machine as the application
server. Default value for Macintosh is
'127.0.0.1'. For Windows or Linux, default
is 'localhost'.
For MSSQL and ORACLE the machine name
must be entered, not the ip address.
When storing files inside the database, the
maximum file size per file is limited to 4 Gb.
DBMAXQUERY
Maximum number of records returned in query
results. Default is 100 records. When set to
zero (0), there is no limit and all records are
returned.
The filestore (ATTACHMENTDIRECTORY)
always needs to be created, even when using
DB as file storage. Make sure to do so and set the
correct permissions as well.
167
Server
ATTACHSTORAGE
Methods for storing files:
FILE
When storing files inside the file
system using numeric structure
(default option).
DB
When storing files inside the
database. (Only supported for
Oracle systems.)
REALFILE The same as FILE but then
not using a numeric structure
but using the Publication/Issue/
Section structure instead. Names
of articles, layouts etc. are used
as the filenames in the Filestore.
Chapter 09 Server configuration
4. Setting up multiple application servers
Server
3.1 The ATTACHMODULO setting
When choosing to store the files inside the file
system with the FILE storage option, you can use
the ATTACHMODULO setting to determine how many
objects share one folder. (For more information, see
Chapter 10: Server Internals.)
If you need or choose to use multiple application
servers, you can set them up using the standard
installation steps (PHP, WebServer, Enterprise Server,
Test Enterprise server), pointing them all to the same
single database.
The required sub folders inside the File Store folder
are created automatically, except the root folder. The
newly created sub folders carry the same access
attributes as their parent root folder. Make sure that
the root folder exists and that the access rights are
correctly configured. The WebServer user needs the
following access rights set:
Per client machine you can determine which
application server is used by editing its
WWSettings.xml file (see Chapter 12: Client
Configuration) and setting the URL of the application
server.

The database can also reside on one of the
machines used as Application Server.
When using MSSQL or Oracle as the database
you need to install the database client libraries
on the application server.

5. Monitoring system activity and logging
The low-level logging is turned on with the following
setting in configserver.php:
Enterprise offers two facilities: high-level monitoring
and low-level debug logging. The high-level monitoring
records all processed SOAP requests. The low-level
debug logging dumps all SQL queries and SOAP
details for debugging purposes.
DEBUGLEVEL
Possible settings are: NONE,
FATAL,
ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG
The amount of information gets richer from left
to right.
5.1 High-level monitoring
NONE disables the low level logging.
The high-level monitoring is configured in the
configserver.php file:
Disable logging
Logon and Logoff only (default value)
All SOAP calls (note that this creates
a very large log file.)
An empty string disables low-level logging
which is the default.
The result of the SOAP logging is written to the
smart_log table and can be viewed via the Log
web application. (See Section B17. Log in Chapter 8:
Publication and Workflow Setup.)
With low-level logging turned on, the
log files keep growing, thereby
consuming disk space and reducing
performance.
When low-level logging is turned on, a
warning Running in Debug mode is
shown in the web logon screen.
5.2 Low-level debug monitoring
The low-level debug logging writes files with all SQL
statements (mysql.log), details for all SOAP calls
(soap/<date>/<time>_<call>_Req.xml) and time
spent inside the Application Server (soap-debug.log).

Chapter 09 Server configuration
6. Automatic JPG/PDF/EPS creation
thumbnails are also always saved per page no matter
which feature is set. The server decides whether to
store the page files in File Store or in the database.
(See Section 3: Where to Store the Files.)
While saving a document in InDesign, the Enterprise
plug-in for InDesign can automatically generate JPG,
PDF or EPS files per page and sent them to the server.
This behavior depends on some feature settings made
at server side.
Using both PDF and EPS is not supported.
There are six features that can be enabled:
The features can be configured in the
configserver.php file. The following example will store
previews for each save and store EPS’s when saving
the document into any ‘produce’ status:

Features are retrieved from the server during
client login. After making changes, you have
to log out and log in again to activate them (only for
running clients).

CreatePagePDF
"on save" means that the page files are sent to the
server when the user saves the InDesign file (to the
server). Note that native InDesign files can be stored
locally only, in which case the page files are NOT sent.
(For more information, see Section 7: Storing Layouts
and Articles Locally.)
3
4
CreatePagePDFOnProduce 5
3
on save
on produce
The page file format depends on the chosen feature
and is sent by the InDesign plug-in together with the
native InDesign file (which is always sent). Note that
1
"on produce" does the same but only when the layout
has reached a so called ‘produce’ status, which is
170
Chapter 09 Server configuration
a property of the status. (See Chapter 8: Publication
and Workflow Setup.)
In this example, assume that you have a "print" status
defined for layout objects for which the 'produced'
status is enabled. Then, each InDesign client must
have a "print" PDF style defined.
The CreatePagePDF option has special treatment
by the client software and is used when a saved
document does NOT reach any 'produced' status
(yet). In that case, the given PDF style name is used
as defined in InDesign. This can be done as follows:
4
define
('SERVERFEATURES',
(array('CreatePagePDF'
=>
style)));
If you like to use the default style instead, give the
[Press Quality] value as follows:
define
('SERVERFEATURES',
serialize(
array('CreatePagePDFOnProduce’
=>
'[Press Quality]')));
serialize
’my
own
This is the default configuration.
Since InDesign CS2, many PDF presets are
renamed. For example, for the English version,
[Press] has been renamed to [Press Quality].
English: [High Quality Print] [Press Quality]
Note: This is not a complete list.
The CreatePagePDFOnProduce option does
basically the same as CreatePagePDF, but then
only when the saved object reaches the produced
status. However, if NO style is given, the status name
is considered to be the PDF style to be used at client.
This allows you to use different output definitions
depending on the reached statuses.

Chapter 09 Server configuration
7. Storing layouts and articles locally
The Enterprise InDesign and InCopy plug-ins can
store native files (InDesign/InCopy documents) to the
local hard disk without sending them to the server.
This is done to reduce network traffic and speed up
intermediate save operations.
Server
If the user selects the menu File > Save, the file is
saved locally. When the menu Smart Connection >
Save Version is selected, the file is saved locally and
sent to the server as a new version. Only for the server
save operation, the save dialog is raised to let the user
change status or add comments.

You can also set the behavior to always save
to the server. This is done with the server
feature
AlwaysSaveDocIntoDatabase
in
configserver.php. For example:
If the AlwaysSaveDocIntoDatabase option is
enabled, a layout document reaches a special state
at InDesign wherein it is not saved to the server yet
although an article is placed on it. When opening that
article in InCopy a warning dialog will raise: “The story
has been placed on a layout which is not saved since
then. Therefore, no layout information is available...”. In
that case the InDesign document will not be opened,
and InCopy will treat it as an unplaced article.
define
('SERVERFEATURES',
serialize
(array('AlwaysSaveDocIntoDatabase')));
When the InDesign document is closing it will be
saved to the server to ensure data integrity.
Using this feature, native files are always sent to the
server regardless of which save menu entry is selected.
Then, in both cases the save dialog is raised.
Note that the warning dialog won’t raise when the
UseXMLGeometry option is enabled. (See Section
11: Geometry Update and Remote Module.) This is
because layout information is always synchronized.
1
The following table shows when native files are sent to
the server or only saved locally.
Optional. Default is "No". The native layout file
is only sent to the server when the server feature
AlwaysSaveDocIntoDatabase is set.

8. Security
8.2 Security related facts
The standard installation steps of Enterprise
have been written with ease of installation in
mind. After a successful installation please check the
following notes to make sure you end up with a secure
installation.
Enterprise uses its own user definitions and password
which are used to authenticate the clients with the
application server. The application server applies the
business logic and authorization rules what a specific
user can do. The application server itself always uses
the configured database user that has 'full' access to
the database.
8.1 Security checkpoints
Enterprise user passwords are stored encrypted
inside the database.
For each client session, a ticket is created and
returned to the client application. Instead of sending
passwords, the ticket is sent along each SOAP call
(between client and Application Server).
If you use the file system, the default location is the
FileStore directory in the root of your disk. Change this
into a better place and set the location in config.php.
Next, make sure the access rights are set as narrow
as possible. (For more information, see Section 3:
Where to Store the Files.)
If you raise the security level of your web
browser, cookie support might get disabled
implicitly. However, cookies are used by the Smart
Connection Enterprise system, so make sure you
enable it again after raising the security level.
173
Server
The standard MySQL user root does not have a
password. Set a password for root (or even better delete the root user and create a new MySQL user
account with password) and enter this user/password
into config.php as well.
Chapter 09 Server configuration
9. Versioning
8.3 Logon expiration
Enterprise expires logon sessions automatically after
a configured time of inactivity. The term can be set to
be different for web clients because these are typically
not logged off.
Enterprise offers versioning capabilities. Via either the
Query/Browse option, Smart Browser or via InDesign
or InCopy, you can view a list of versions for a file
and rollback to an older version. This will create a new
version based on this older version.
EXPIREDEFAULT
Generic logon expiration time in seconds.
Default value: 24*3600.
EXPIREWEB
Logon expiration time in seconds for web
based clients. Default value: 3600.
Enterprise stores up to a configurable number of
versions per file. Besides the total number of versions
to save, you can also define how many of the oldest
versions should be saved.
Server
When the total number of versions is exceeded, the
version will be deleted that comes after the configured
number of oldest files to keep.
These numbers can be set per type of object in
configserver.php:
MAX_ARTICLE_VERSION
Total number of versions to store per article.
Default value: 10
MAX_IMAGE_VERSION
Total number of versions to store per image.
Default value: 5

Server
You can change the look and feel, language and the
used terms of the web pages shown by the user- and
admin web applications. Enterprise offers a framework
that separates your customizations from the core
system. This simplifies updating new versions of the
system by keeping your customizations.
The look and feel is determined by the HTML templates,
style sheets and images. These files reside in the
.../config/templates/ and .../config/images folders. You
are free to edit those files, but care needs to be taken. Use a
UTF-8 text editor for the HTML templates. Make
sure that the content and location of keywords (e.g.
"<!- - CONFIG:ISSUE - ->") remain untouched.
Before you start making changes, you need to
understand how web pages are shown by the web
applications. For each user request, a PHP script reads
in a HTML template from the /config/templates folder
and a dictionary file (enUS.xml for example) from the
/config/resources folder. All keywords shown in the
template file are replaced by values defined in the
dictionary. For example, if the template carries the
keyword"<!- - CONFIG:ISSUE - ->", the
current language is English and you are using the
standard shipped templates, it will be replaced with
the value "Issue" before the requested page is
actually shown to the user. Note that the replacements
are only done in memory, so the template files remain
untouched.

Chapter 09 Server configuration
10.2 Selecting the language
Web users can overrule the company language setting
by setting their own language. This is done in the My
Profile option in the Web Applications menu. The
available languages are listed in a drop down box.
Out-of-the-box, Smart Connection Enterprise offers
thirteen languages that you can choose from: English
(default), French, German, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian
Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Chinese,
Russian and Polish. The language of the server is
defined in the .../config/configserver.php file in the
SERVERFEATURES definition: 'CompanyLanguage'
'enUS' .

10.3.1 Method 1 (one language)
Modify the configlang.php file (make a backup first):
(See next page.)
177
Server
You might want to use different terms than those
standard shipped. For example: as a newspaper you
might be quite happy with Publication/Issue/Section/
Status terms, but as a book publisher you might want
to use Project/Book/Chapter/Status terms instead.
There are two different methods for changing the
terms to suite your workflow: one for a workflow that
contains one language and one that contains two or
more languages.

Chapter 09 Server configuration
10.3.2 Method 2 (two or more languages)
11. Geometry update and remote module
Step 1. First make a backup of the language
files in the config/resources directory that you
wish to edit.
Step
2.
Open
the
dictionary
file
../config/resources/enUS.xml (for English) in a
text editor that supports UTF-16 encoding.
Step 3. Each line of the XML file
shows
the
following
format:
<Term
key="ISSUE">Issue</Term>.
Make sure you respect the XML format, else
the system might fail reading the dictionary file.
However, a disadvantage of the XML Geometry
Update feature is that there won’t be layers available
(all layers will be packed into a single layer). This
means that layers cannot be used in the Layout View
of InCopy and a preview of the last saved InDesign
file is shown depending on active layers at saving
time. Another disadvantage is that the resolution of
non-editable articles is limited to the resolution of
generated geometry preview files. Zooming to higher
percentages can therefore result in a more blurred
view.
Currently the XML Geometry Update feature is
not working with Editions and not fully working
with Sticky Notes.
179
Server
By default, when a placed article is opened in InCopy,
the layout file is opened as well. The same happens
when sending layout updates from InDesign and
receiving them in InCopy. Big layout files will cause
long wait times and more network load. If you wish
to significantly reduce these aspects, you might
want to enable the so called XML Geometry Update
functionality exposed by the Remote Module since
Enterprise v3.3. When enabled, a tiny geometry file
and a geometry preview file is saved by InDesign
and loaded by InCopy, instead of a large layout file.
Optionally, the preview files can be suppressed to
make it even more faster.
Chapter 09 Server configuration
12. Messages and events
To enable the XML Geometry Update feature exposed
by the Remote Module, add the UseXMLGeometry
entry to the SERVERFEATURES configuration in the
configserver.php file or remove the entry to disable it.
Note that this setting can only be done system wide.
Enterprise has an event mechanism built into both its
InDesign and InCopy clients and its server, offering the
following functionality:
User Messages
Live Update
Hot Inbox
Custom Event Handling
Server
By default, the geometry files will carry layout preview
information. For performance reasons you might
want to suppress the preview. In that case you won’t
see the layout in InCopy. Nevertheless, you can still
‘write-to-fit’. To suppress the geometry preview,
add SuppressGeometryPreview entry to the
SERVERFEATURES section.
Events are broadcasted by the server and received
by all InDesign and InCopy clients. Broadcasted
packages are limited to 1024K, which stands for 45
item properties on average use. The server never
exceeds this limit. Fields exceeding the limit are not
sent.
By default, geometry preview files are 72 DPI. This
way the files are small, but articles placed on large
pages might become unreadable. In that case you can
change the resolution of the preview files by adding a
GeometryPreviewResolution entry followed by
a value indicating DPI.
For segmented networks (with multiple sub
nets), multicasting needs to be used instead
of broadcasting. A separate tech note about
multicasting is available from your reseller or
integrator.
For example configurations, see Appendix D:
Geometry Update Examples.
MULTICAST_TTL
Time-To-Live options for multicasts.
Make sure this value is set correctly for
your network. More info about TTL values can
be found at http://www.geniusweb.com/LDP/
HOWTO/Multicast-HOWTO-2.html.
180
Chapter 09 Server configuration
12.1 User messages
MULTICAST_IF
The network interface used to send out
multicasts. If your server machine has
more than one network card, make sure this
setting points to the right interface.
Users can send messages to object items raising
dialogs at InCopy and InDesign clients. Enabling User
Messages, enables the "Send Message" entry in
the Enterprise menu when the user is logged in. In
the SERVERFEATURES of the configserver.php the
following options must be set:
Messaging
EventPort
MC_MEDIATOR_PORT, MC_MEDIATOR_ADDRESS
The MC_MEDIATOR_PORT setting is
an UDP port used for the IP address
indicated with the MC_MEDIATOR_ADDRESS
setting. This can be the local address if the
mediator is running on the same machine as
the Smart Connection Enterprise Server.
(See section 12.4: Example Configuration on how to
set these changes.)
Server
Events are not considered to arrive client-side 100%
guaranteed. Therefore, events are not required for
clients to work correctly. There are some scenarios in
which events might not be received:
User is not logged in
System file dialog (such as file save-as) lays
on top while OS’s message queue is full
Client machine is disconnected from network
12.2 Live update
Items shown in database view are updated
automatically as soon as their properties are changed
in the database. In the SERVERFEATURES section of
the configserver.php file, the following options must
be set:
Broadcasting
EventPort
(See section 12.4: Example Configuration on how to
set these changes.)
181
Chapter 09 Server configuration
12.3 Hot inbox
12.4 Example configuration
Newly created / incoming items are shown directly
in user’s inboxes. Enabling this feature implicitly also
enables Live Update. In the SERVERFEATURES
section of the configserver.php file, the following
options must be set:
HotInbox
Broadcasting
EventPort
In the configserver.php file, the following changes
must be made to use all flavors of messaging:
define('SERVERFEATURES',
serialize( array(
new Feature( 'Messaging' ),
new Feature( 'Broadcasting' ),
new Feature( 'EventPort' , 8093 ),
new Feature( 'HotInbox' , 'Inbox'),
)) );
Server
(See section 12.4: Example Configuration on how to
set these changes.)
You are free to change the event port number. If you
are using more than one system on a single network,
the port must differ or else clients will try updating
views using sent data of foreign databases which
obviously makes no sense.
In the SERVERFEATURES section of the
configserver.php file, the following options must be
set:
Broadcasting
EventPort
The HotInbox’s value must match a Named Query
showing the user’s inbox. An example of an inbox is
given in Appendix C: Named Query examples. The
client will add all new items to the inbox view that
have a RouteTo property matching the current user
logged in. Note that there is no further checking done
(for access rights, item locations, statuses, etc), so
it’s added to the view regardless of the inbox query
definition. If an item disrespects the query it disappears
when the user manually refreshes the entire view
(running the inbox query).
When a new item is created, only the most
important fields get updated in the palette.
(See section 12.4: Example Configuration on how to
set these changes.)

13. Email notifications
13.1 Basic email configuration
Enterprise can send automatic email notifications
when files are routed to a person or a group. When
a user received such a notification he/she can look in
his/her Inbox to see which files are waiting. To enable
this feature, you need to perform the following steps:
In the configserver.php file, the following settings
should be configured for email notifications:
EMAIL_NOTIFICATION
Subject for the e-mail notifications.
Default value: "WoodWing SCEnterprise
notification for %routeto%"
Step 1. Set the basic email configuration
options
Step 3. Enable per user if notifications should
be sent.
EMAIL_SMTP
SMTP server to send email.
For example smtp.mydomain.com
Default value: ""
EMAIL_SMTP_SENDER
E-mail address to use as the sender of the
notification e-mail.
For example scent@mydomain.com
Default value: ""
EMAIL_SMTP_USER
Logon name if required for your SMTP server.
Default value: ""
183
Server
EMAIL_NOTIFICATION_FILE
File to use for the body of the e-mail
notification.
Default
value:
BASEDIR."/config/
templates/email.txt"
Step 2. Enable the email notification option per
publication
Chapter 09 Server configuration
13.2 Enable email notification per publication
EMAIL_SMTP_PASS
Password if required for your SMTP server.
Default value: ""
Per publication you can configure if you want to enable
email notification. This is done through the Publication
Maintenance page by selecting the Email notifications
option. (See Section 3.1 Creation your Publications in
Chapter 8: Publication and workflow setup.)
The
value
of
the
setting
EMAIL_NOTIFICATION or the contents of
the file set with the EMAIL_NOTIFICATION_FILE
can contain the following placeholders that will be
replaced by the appropriate values:
13.3 Enable email notification per user
Name of the file the notification
is about.
%routeto% Name of the user or group this
file is routed to.
%state%
Workflow status of the file.
Server
%name%
Per user you can set two email options via the User
Maintenance page:
Send email notification when file routed to
me
Send email notification when file routed to
one of my groups
184
Chapter 09 Server configuration
14. Reporting
The class scent_reportutils (as implemented in
/server/apps/report.php) offers a useful
function to get a list of all statuses and their colors for
a particular publication/issue:
function getColorList( $inPub, $inIssue,
$objType, &$graph, &$colors )
Enterprise allows you to define any kind of report via
small PHP scripts. These files have to be put into
the /config/reports folder. Inside your script you will
need to implement a function called SCEntReport that
accepts two parameters for the selected publication
and issue. The HTML result of the report should be
returned by this function.
Enterprise includes a limited license of the
KavaChart
components
from
Visual
Engineering Inc. that we use for charts. To use
KavaChart components in your own scripts, you can
buy a KavaChart license that comes with developer
documentation. See www.ve.com for more
information.
The following is an example report:
// Result into a table: first column pie chart:
$txt = "<table><tr><td>";
$txt .= graphpie($graph,350, $colors);
// second column list of status and the count of objects
$txt .= "</td><td><table>";
foreach ($graph as $key => $value)
$txt .= "<tr><td>$key</td><td align=\"right\">$value</td></tr>";
$txt .= "</table></td>";
return $txt;
} ?>
185
Server
<?php
function SCEntReport( $inPub, $inIssue )
{
// First get associative array with status/counts and list of colors
// for these statuses
$reportutils = new scent_reportutils;
$reportutils->getColorList( $inPub, $inIssue, "Article",$graph, $colors );

15. Password management
16. Server-side preview generation
The life-span of a User Account and/or its password
can be controlled, resulting in less interaction by the
administrator. Use of character type and password
length can also be controlled.
Some Enterprise components generate previews
from images, for example the Upload page or Smart
Upload. Typically file formats like PSD and PDF/EPS
are not always (fully) supported. In order to have
more sophisticated preview generation capabilities
you can also install and configure server-side preview
generation. Doing so will also enhance the meta data
extraction capabilities.
PASSWORD_EXPIRE
Days after which a password expires.
Server
PASSWORD_MIN_CHAR
Minimal characters in a password.
The following additional components are required for
server-side preview generation:
PASSWORD_MIN_LOWER
Minimal lower case characters in a password.
Imagemagick
PASSWORD_MIN_UPPER
Minimal uppercase characters in a password.
Imagemagick is free software (under the General Public
License) and runs on all major operating systems. See
the website www.imagemagick.org.
Ghostscript
PASSWORD_MIN_SPECIAL
Minimal special characters in a password.
Ghostscript is copyrighted and is available under
several licenses:
AFPL: Owned by Artifex Software, Inc. and
artofcode LLC, formerly Aladdin Ghostscript.
This version is the most up to date: it supports
the newest PDF features and image formats.
This version may be used freely but may not be
distributed commercially.

Webserver user
platform
www
Mac OS
IUSR
Windows
nobody
Linux
When experiencing issues with server-side preview
generation, check the following:
First try to test Imagemagick via the test page
(http://yourserver/SCEnterprise/server/wwtest) and
follow the test preview link.
Press the Show versions button to see whether the
Imagemagick commands convert and identify
can be found and executed successfully. On Linux
and Mac, the Ghostscript version will also be shown.
If the version numbers can not be shown:
The preview application uses the Temp
subdirectory of the ATTACHMENTDIRECTORY
for temporary files. Ensure that the WebServer
user has got Read and Write access rights
set.
Check the settings checkbox before pressing
the Show versions button, and see whether the
Imagemagick (and Ghostscript) paths are part
of the PATH setting.
Be sure that the webserver user has execute
access for the Imagemagick and Ghostscript
executables (convert, gs).
Macintosh and Linux
16.2 Enterprise configuration

190
Chapter 09 Server configuration
18. Modifying business logic
Try calling the Imagemagick commands convert
and identify in a shell (command prompt) to
see whether the installation was successful. Type
convert
–version, or /usr/local/bin/
convert –version.
Enterprise offers two facilities to enhance or modify
the server’s business logic:
Event Handler to execute PHP code when a
business event occurs.
Windows
Overrule business logic calls via smartserver.php.
To change behavior when setting meta data,
implement
the
validateMetaData($user,
MetaData &$meta) function in smartvalidator.php.
Throw a BizException to cancel setting the metadata
when for example user’s input is invalid.
You can for example apply naming conventions
or filter meta data to prevent a user from setting a
specific field.
Next, try uploading an image and view the preview
by pressing the Preview button. If this fails, check the
Verbose checkbox and check the command line and
possible error messages. Check the access rights of
the input and output directory (the Temp subdirectory
of the ATTACHMENTDIRECTORY).
Next to this test page, you can also specify a
value for OUTPUTDIRECTORY in configserver.php.
Error information will be written to a file named
imagemagick.txt in the output directory specified.
191
Server
The convert command can also be
a system command. Be sure that
the Imagemagick path is the first
path in the PATH setting, or specify
the Imagemagick path explicitly in
preview.php. If the wrong convert
command is used, the error message
'Access Denied' may appear.
Chapter 09 Server configuration
Server
18.1 Custom event handling
18.2 Overruling business logic
You also have the possibility to develop your own
server operations that are triggered by workflow
events. These operations can be implemented in
the eventhandler.php located in the SCEnterprise\
config\code sub folder of the web root folder on the
SCEnterprise server. This event handling mechanism
can be used for example to integrate Smart Connection
Enterprise with your CMS. The following workflow
events will be triggered:
logon / logoff
createobject / deleteobject
saveobject
setobjectproperties
sendto
lockobject / unlockobject
createobjectrelation / deleteobjectrelation
updateobjectrelation
deadlinechange
sendmessage
deletemessage
Enterprise uses the SmartServer php class to
implement its business logic. All standard logic is
implemented in the SmartServerBase class that
resides in the folder /SCEnterprise/server.
Inside the file /config/code/smartserver.php you can
find the empty SmartServer class that can be
used to override any of the business calls. Typically
you will use this to overrule one of the business calls
(for example LogOn). In your implementation you can
execute some code, call the base class implementation
and after this execute some code.

19. Advanced settings
PASSWORD_CRYPT
Reserved for future usage.
Default value: 'Server'
Below is a description of advanced settings that were
not described previously. We don’t expect you will
need to change these settings.
SERVERADDONS
Mechanism to enable/disable add-ons.
Supported values: 'JournalDesigner' => 'PlanSystem'
Default value: serialize(array());
19.1 Configserver.php settings
DBPREFIX
Prefix used for all database table names. This
must not be changed.
Default value: "smart_"
CACHEDIR
The directory temporary objects are cached in.
Default is the FileStore/cache folder.
UPDATE_GEOM_SAVE
If ON, client gives warning dialog when
geometry update is available. Note that when
using this setting, UseXMLGeometry should
be disabled and vice versa.
EXTENSIONMAP
Mapping of file types (extensions, for
example image.jpg) to their mime type
and object type in the Enterprise database. A
jpg would become an Image when uploading in
the WebApp.
PERSONAL_STATE
When PERSONAL_STATE is defined as ON,
users of the system can create an article or
layout without immediately bringing it into the
workflow. The user chooses the 'Personal'
state and as long as the article or layout is in
that state no implicit actions (dependent on
state) are performed and the article/layout is
left alone. As soon as the article or layout is
ready it can be brought in to a workflow state
(again) and normal procedure can prevail.

4. Numbered storage
For example: assume you have enabled
the
features
CreatePagePreview
and
CreatePagePDFOnProduce (see Chapter 9:
Server Configuration, Section Automatic JPG/PDF/
EPS Creation) and configured File Store storage.
Then, saving an InDesign document (object id =
57) consisting of two pages to a status that has the
produce flag enabled, page files are saved in the File
Store as shown in table 4.1:
By default, each object file stored in the File Store has
the following naming conventions:
For the files directly belonging to an object:
[object ID] – [“thumb” | “preview” | “native”] . [version #]

Chapter 10 Server internals
4.1 Structured storage
Per object you can have more than one file.
For objects likes pages and images several
so-called renditions are stored which include the
native file, thumbnail files, preview files etc. Also, per
version additional files are stored and for layout objects
also files per pages are stored.
Alternatively to the numbered storage, files can be
stored respecting the Publication / Issue / Section
structure as objects are stored in the database. To
enable this feature, set the ATTACHSTORAGE setting
of configserver.php to REALFILE value.
Server
To ensure optimum performance when many files
are stored, the system automatically creates sub
folders. For instance, if you are about to store more
than 1000 objects in one folder, the system creates a
sub-folder named “1”. Files between 100 and 200 are
stored inside that folder. The folder creation is done
recursively, so if you store the 1000th file in the File
Store, sub-folder named “10” is created inside the
“10” folder.
You can configure the number of objects to be stored
inside one folder via the ATTACHMODULO setting
inside the configserver.php file (the default is 100).

Chapter 10 Server internals
5. Backup or removal
script created with step 1 above and press
Go.
It is possible to backup the complete content of the
Enterprise database. This can also be used to recreate the database into a new installation.
Step 2. Copy recursively the files from step 2
into your File Store. After this make sure access
rights are set correctly.
Server
With the default configuration, Enterprise stores meta
data inside the database and the actual files inside
the File Store on disk. To back-up your installation, do
the following:
The description provided above cannot be
used to copy the content of one Enterprise
setup into another Enterprise that already has content
inside.
Step 1. Export/backup your SQL database.

export and export to file. For more info on
backup of MySQL see:

6. Basic client configuration
Windows XP
The installation installs a configuration file named
WWSettings.xml through which various Enterprise
settings can be controlled. This default configuration
file includes two Enterprise servers: localhost and
WoodWing. The first assumes to have the Enterprise
Application server on the same machine as the client
machine. This obviously is not the normal production
situation. The WoodWing server can be used for testing
and we advice to remove this from the configuration
file for production, just to prevent any mistakes.

1.1 Fixed list of application servers
1.3 Enable automatic view updates
For information how to set the list of application
servers, see Section 6: Basic Client Configuration in
Chapter 11: Client Installation.
The Enterprise plug-ins for InDesign and InCopy
automatically update the Smart Connection palette
on most user database actions such as Save, Close
etc. These automatic view updates can be enabled
with the setting below:
1.2 Dynamic list of application servers
When using a different or customized server, it might
be required to get a list of servers from the Application
Server. For this usage you must use only one
ServerInfo element below Settings. That server is
then used to retrieve the list of servers dynamically.
For instance:
<SCEnt:ViewUpdate/>
The disadvantage of this option is that for each
update a query is sent resulting in server and network
load. A good alternative is enabling the broadcasting
mechanism as written in Chapter 6: Server
Configuration, Messages and Events. This causes
significantly less server/network load.
1.4 Automatic check-out on place
The following setting can be used for InDesign to force
articles to automatically check-out after placing.

user is the user name of an authorized proxy user.
The password is the password associated with the
proxy user.
The following setting can be used to let the Smart
Connection Panel update automatically. If you do
not set this, then the browse content of the panel is
not updated automatically but needs to be refreshed
manually.
1.8 Silent save
To suppress the Save dialog when using the Save
Version command, add the following setting:
<SCEnt:AutoRefreshPanel/>
<SCEnt:SilentSaveVersion/>
1.6 Ask before updating links
1.9 Automatic XML mapping
Client
The following setting can be used to prevent automatic
updating of links in your document. When this setting
is set you will be asked if you want to update the links
in your document.
The following setting can be used for both InDesign
and InCopy to automatically call the Map Styles to
Tags and Map Element Labels to Tags commands
before an InCopy file is saved to the database.
<SCEnt:SkipUpdateLinks/>
This makes sure the InCopy XML articles contain
additional XML tags that allow easy conversion with
XLSLT. An obvious downside is the fact that saving of
InCopy files (also check-in articles from InDesign) will
become somewhat slower.
1.7 Use proxy settings
The following setting can be used to enable clients
behind a proxy server.
<SCEnt:Proxy address="proxy_
address" user="proxy_user"
password="proxy_password"/>
The address is the address of the proxy server. The

1.11 Automatic logon
The following setting can be used to automatically
login to the server at start-up. Obviously using this
setting can introduce a security breach. The value of
the location should be the name as specified in the
server list. (See section 1.2: Dynamic list of Application

1.12 Logging
The Enterprise plug-ins for InDesign and InCopy
offer extensive logging capabilities. The following
setting dumps files of all network requests and
responses. Most interesting are typically the SOAP
request and response. With the Advanced attribute
set, a sub folder is created per session, storing all
calls sequentially. This attribute is meant to be set
temporary for detailed analysis because the required
storage space will grow significantly.
If the Advanced attribute is not set (or set to
"false"), per type of call only the last one will be
saved (overwriting any previous one). Required
storage space will stay about the same, but now only
the last call of each type can be traced and there is no
way to determine the call sequence.

Chapter 12 Client configuration
Apart from the log file there is also a logging mechanism
that writes all kind of information to a log file. Note that
this file keeps growing and can become very large.
You can also filter logging in specific areas, for
example:
<Logging level="0" allareas="0">
<area name="SCEnt-Workspace"/>
<area name="SCEnt-Logon"/>
</Logging>
The location of the WWLog.xml is inside the
InDesign and InCopy folders.
Up until version v3.4, a log file existed named
WWLog.txt which was located in both the
InDesign and InCopy application folders. Since version
v4.0 these files have been renamed to
WWLog_InDesign.txt and WWLog_InCopy.xml.
The Logging attributes have the following options:
level
all = 0, info = 2, warning = 5, error = 8

1.16 UseRecoveryBaseFolder
By default the client creates a sub folder in the
user's documents folder to (temporarily) store the
files received from the server. For sites that are using
roaming profiles where the user's folder is located
on a server, this results in degraded performance as
the file is transferred at least three times across the
network. The UseRecoveryBaseFolder setting allows
the client to store documents in the same folder as
where InDesign stores its recovery files. This recovery
location can be configured through the File Handling
preference of InDesign and InCopy.

Chapter 14 Web Editor configuration
2. The workspace folder
3. Implemented GUI technology
A workspace folder is used as a temporary storage for
draft versions of articles. The location is defined in the
WEBEDITDIR option of the configserver.php file.
Each article component can be edited in the Web
Editor via a so-called text widget. These widgets rely
on a third-party component named TinyMCE. The
Web Editor embraces this product to outsource all
text editing and formatting complexities. Currently,
TinyMCE version 2.1 is implemented and can be
found in the /server/tinymce folder.
By default, articles are automatically saved to the
workspace folder every five minutes. (For more
information, see Section 1.2 Server Features.)
Read-only articles are not auto-saved.
Many GUI widgets, such as the workflow toolbar and
its buttons, the slide bar between the two panes, the
tabs in the side pane and the dialog borders with their
grayed-out background overlay are all implemented by
DHTML Suite modules. The Web Editor embraces this
product to outsource GUI complexities and browser
compatibilities. The suite can be found in the /server/
utils/dhtmlsuite folder. If needed, the look & feel of all
widgets mentioned can be adjusted via the files found
in the /config/webeditor-themes/ww folder.
The folder is also used for storing (temporary) files
when the Compose, Preview and PDF Creation
options are used. Ensure therefore that InDesign
Server has got full access to this folder by means of
the WEBEDITDIRIDSERV setting.
Web Editor
When the Check In or the Abort Checkout
option is used, the temporary sub folders are
removed again.

4. Article templates
5. Save version dialog
Article templates that users have access to via the
Start Article page, need to be made available by the
Administrator (Company templates by the sys admin,
Publication templates by the pub admin.). It is not
possible for Web Editor users to either create or store
templates themselves.
Users can save an intermediate version by pressing
the Save Version button in the toolbar. This will bring
up a Save Version dialog where settings can be set for
saving the article.
The Save Version dialog can be suppressed by adding
the following option to the FEATURESET section of
the configserver.php file:
new Feature( 'SilentSaveVersion' ),
Templates should be stored in InCopy format
with a .wwcx file extension.
The Web Editor works with two types of article
templates: Company templates and Publication
templates.
6. Workflow dialogs
Workflow dialogs raised in the Web Editor are
dynamically drawn and respect customizations made
through the MetaData and Dialog Setup admin pages.
(For more information, see Section B12. Meta Data in
Chapter 8: Publication and Workflow Setup.)
The following features are currently not implemented:
Tab support (grouping)
Date/time and Boolean fields
Min/Max value validation
Read-only and mandatory fields
Protected fields
Publication templates are specific to a
Publication/Issue/Section and stored as any
other object in a publication/issue/section
location.
247
Web Editor
Company templates are used throughout
the company and are stored in the
/config/articletemplates
folder.
Templates
stored in this folder become available for all
users, regardless of their defined access rights.
One such template is provided by Enterprise,
named “default”. (Contrary to Enterprise 4.2,
this template is not any more required for
converting plain text articles to InCopy articles.
Enterprise 5 will keep plain text as it is.)

The first step is to execute all tests on the wwtest
page. (For more information, see section G: Testing the
Enterprise Server of Chapter 6: Server Installation.)
Extra
In case something unexpected happens on
the client, it could be useful to turn on client
logging. (For more information, see Chapter 12: Client
Configuration.)

2. Common errors
When saving a file from a client application, I get
an error
For example:
HTTP error 413
Unsupported encoding, use one of ISO8859-1, US-ASCII, UTF-8
Empty page when going to http://Server/
SCEnterprise
Try adding /index.htm at the end of the URL. If this
works, then the problem is either that your web server
has not set index.htm nor index.html as the default
page or it has set index.php as the default page
with a higher priority. (The latter happens typically on
Linux installations; check the PHP installation steps in
Chapter 6: Server Installation for solutions.)
When such a low-level error happens it typically means
some maximum value has been exceeded such as the
maximum upload size. (See the PHP installation steps
in Chapter 6: Server Installation for which values need
to be increased in config.php and conf.php (Linux).
Logon/logoff Test fails in a Smart Connection
Enterprise/IIS web server configuration
Performing the logon/logoff test on the wwtest page
results in an error similar to: “LogOn Logon FAILED:
HTTP Response 401 Authentication Failed Time
elapsed: 0.02s”
Extra
This error message refers to the fact that the access
rights are not correctly set for the web user. You
should open IIS and check the Anonymous Access
and Authentication Control settings on the Directory
Security tab. Click the Edit button and make sure that
at least the Anonymous Access check box is set. It is
not necessary to also have the Integrated Windows
Authentication checked (you may do this but it is not
required).

3. Verifying client version information
4. Verifying server version information
To check which version of Enterprise is installed for
the InDesign and InCopy clients, do the following:
To check on the server side which version of Enterprise
is installed , do the following:
Mac OS: From the InDesign or InCopy menu,
select About WoodWing Plug-ins
Step 1. Open your browser and enter
http://<yourserver>/SCEnterprise/server/
wwtest.
Windows: From the Help menu, select About
WoodWing Plug-ins
Step 2. Click on the Configuration Overview
link at the top of the page. The Configuration
Overview page appears with the exact version
of Enterprise listed in the header.
The About WoodWing Plug-ins Window opens and
displays the WoodWing web address plus a list of
WoodWing software and the version(s) installed on
your system.
