Entering UCM stage

2676205May 19 2014 — edited May 24 2014

Hi, this is probably the wrong place, but "workflow" was the only term that looked vaguely recognizable to me! We are using Oracle (I log into something called "ucmstage") to make edits to selected parts of a company website. Only certain users have permission to edit website content. After logging in through Oracle to ucmstage, users are supposed to hit control-shift-F5 to get into editing mode. Once things are edited, they are updated and pass into workflow for approval. However, I have attempted to get into ucmstage using control-shift-F5 387 times and I cannot make it work. It works fine on coworkers' computers down the hall, but not on mine. Because we are such a giant company, Tech Support is kind of off on Mars and may or may not answer me in this millennium, although they do mean well. I have many increasingly agitated clients (I'm in marketing) wanting their website additions/corrections made ASAP, but I cannot even GET IN to start. It is beyond frustrating. I am Art History Word Girl, not Tech Chika, but surely we have progressed to the point where simply getting into a content server should not require doing multiple regressions or having an advanced grasp of coding. If you have any, ANY, tips n' tricks for me, please do not hold back. I at my wits' end with this silliness. Thanks very much.

I do not know anything about BI Publisher, but I assume it has an option to send the output to a printer. Simply Googling for it:
Configure a Printer in Oracle Analytics Publisher
Browsers cannot send output directly to a printer. There is always some user interaction before sending the output to a printer.

Small print: there is a non-standard way to send some output directly to the printer from a browser. However, it involves hacking the Windows registry (I only know this trick for Windows):
Create a PDF file with extension .pdfp. Windows doesn't know this extension, so it will create a new registry entry for pdfp.
Change the Open behaviour in the registry (find it somewhere in \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE). Instead of opening the file, print it. In my case, I use Sumatra pdf:

"C:\Users\someuser\AppData\Local\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe" -print-to-default "%1" %*

Of course, this command will change per configuration.

If the print engine was NOT Bi Publisher, I'd recommend Apex Office Print. They have functionality to print to a network printer included with the product. Since this is a Bi Publisher question, you MIGHT get a better response if you posted it to that products support forum..
Thank you!
