Connect to a Version Cue Server using WebDAV Adobe recommends managing non-Adobe files with Adobe Bridge. However, if you're collaborating with other users who don't have access to Adobe Bridge, you can use the Version Cue WebDAV Server URL to access projects on a Version Cue Server. You can access a Version Cue Server by using a WebDAV-enabled application, such as a Microsoft Office application.

In Mac OS, specify the project's WebDAV URL by using the Connect To Server Command from the Finder. Before attempting to connect, refer to your application's documentation on using its WebDAV features. ❖ Enter the Version Cue WebDAV URL, the port number (3703, or 50900 if you're connecting to a server that is running on the same system as a Version Cue CS2 workspace), "webdav," and the project name. For example: http://153.32.235.230:3703/webdav/project_name Migrate projects to the Version Cue 3.0 Server If you currently use Version Cue CS2, you need to migrate your projects to Version Cue CS3. When you migrate Version Cue CS2 projects to Version Cue CS3, users assigned to those projects are also migrated. You cannot migrate Version Cue CS2 projects to Version Cue CS3 on Intel-based Macintosh computers. Before migrating projects, ask all users to synchronize their assets so project data is up to date. 1 Locate the folder "com.adobe.versioncue.migration_2.0.0" on the computer on which Version Cue CS3 is installed and copy it to the Version Cue CS2 Plugins folder. 2 Restart Version Cue CS2. 3 Log in to Version Cue CS3 Server Administration. 4 Click the Advanced tab, and then click Import Version Cue CS2 Data. 5 Enter a Version Cue CS2 administrator login and password, and click Log In. 6 Select the project you want to migrate, and click Migrate. Note: If the Version Cue CS2 project has the same name as a project that exists on the Version Cue CS3 Server, Version Cue will append a number to the end of the Version Cue CS2 project name (for example, Test Project (2)). If a Version Cue CS2 user has the same user name as an existing user on the Version Cue CS3 Server, Version Cue will use the existing Version Cue CS3 user account. 7 When Version Cue Server Administration displays the confirmation page, click End. 8 Stop the Version Cue CS2 workspace. 9 Uninstall Version Cue CS2. 10 Restart the Version Cue CS3 Server. This resets the port to allow access from both Adobe Creative Suite 2 and Adobe Creative Suite 3 components.

User Guide

Display the Version

Cue Server Administration login page to identify the Version

Cue URLs that remote users and

WebDAV applications need to access the server. Alternatively, view the URLs in the Inspector in Bridge.

Click OK.

A shortcut to the remote server is automatically included in your list of available Version

Cue Servers.

Connect to a Version

Cue Server using WebDAV

Adobe recommends managing non-Adobe files with Adobe Bridge. However, if you’re collaborating with other users

who don’t have access to Adobe Bridge, you can use the Version

Cue WebDAV Server URL to access projects on a

Version

Cue Server.

You can access a Version

Cue Server by using a WebDAV-enabled application, such as a Microsoft Office application.

In Windows, specify a project on a Version

Cue Server as a network place by specifying the project’s WebDAV URL.

In Mac

OS, specify the project’s WebDAV URL by using the Connect To Server Command from the Finder. Before

attempting to connect, refer to your application’s documentation on using its WebDAV features.

❖

Enter the Version

Cue WebDAV URL, the port number (3703, or 50900 if you’re connecting to a server that is

running on the same system as a Version

Cue CS2 workspace), “webdav,” and the project name. For example:

http://153.32.235.230:3703/webdav/

project_name

Migrate projects to the Version

Cue 3.0 Server

If you currently use Version

Cue CS2, you need to migrate your projects to Version

Cue CS3. When you migrate

Version

Cue CS2 projects to Version

Cue CS3, users assigned to those projects are also migrated.

You cannot migrate Version

Cue CS2 projects to Version

Cue CS3 on Intel-based Macintosh computers.

Before migrating projects, ask all users to synchronize their assets so project data is up to date.

Locate the folder “com.adobe.versioncue.migration_2.0.0” on the computer on which Version

Cue CS3 is

installed and copy it to the Version

Cue CS2 Plugins folder.

Restart Version

Cue CS2.

Cue CS3 Server Administration.

Click the Advanced tab, and then click Import Version

Cue CS2 Data.

Enter a Version

Cue CS2 administrator login and password, and click Log In.

Select the project you want to migrate, and click Migrate.

Note:

If the Version

Cue CS2 project has the same name as a project that exists on the Version

Cue CS3 Server,

Version

Cue will append a number to the end of the Version

Cue CS2 project name (for example, Test Project (2)). If a

Version

Cue CS2 user has the same user name as an existing user on the Version

Cue CS3 Server, Version

Cue will use

the existing Version

Cue CS3 user account.

When Version

Cue Server Administration displays the confirmation page, click End.

Stop the Version

Cue CS2 workspace.

Uninstall Version

Cue CS2.

Restart the Version

Cue CS3 Server. This resets the port to allow access from both Adobe Creative Suite 2 and

Adobe Creative Suite

3 components.
