While I have written about my experiences with the Oracle User Productivity Kit before, I generally get questions on the product on a regular basis. Some are simple and some are complicated, but usually they are all worth sharing.
If you’ve ever been working in a Multi-User User Productivity Kit (UPK) environment, you may have run across the error “The document ‘EmptySound’ has been deleted. To complete this operation, restore the document.” or several other similar variations.
This type of error is unfortunately going to be common working in a collaborative workspace. The error is simply telling you that either you or another Author has deleted an object within a Module or Topic file that is still being referenced. In order to publish your UPK content successfully, you will need to either remove the reference to the deleted content, or restore the content.
Fortunately, when working in the Multi-User version of UPK, there is an extra “Deleted Documents” repository. This repository will contain any deleted items (including version history) of anything that has ever been deleted. This repository cannot be altered by Authors, so in essence, no one can ever truly “accidentally” delete something.
To restore a deleted document using the Multi-User version of the User Productivity Kity, you will need to complete the following steps:
- From the Library screen, you will need to click on the drop-down button for the View field (which will normally indicate Details View) on the View toolbar, and select Deleted Document. A list of all content objects that have been deleted (but not purged) will be displayed.
- Right-click on the document that you wish to restore, and select Restore from the context menu. This will be the only option that is available on this context menu.
The document will be restored to the Library, and it will be placed back in the folder it was originally deleted from. If you want to see where the document is going to be restored to, the location is also shown in the Original Location column in the Deleted Documents view.
As an additional note, restore the document will cause an additional “version” of the document to be available in the version history (as will originally deleting the document). Not that this really matters, but if you’re wondering why a couple of extra versions might now be visible, this is why.

Olympics: Hockey (USA vs Canada)
Filed Under Entertainment, Events
Today was the big hockey game between USA and Canada. Many were preaching that this was to be the biggest game of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics in terms of media attention and viewers.
I’ve caught a few random Team USA Hockey games, but this was the big game that I was really interested in. What could be more exciting in hockey than USA vs Canada? Two great rivals, with a majority of the players who know each other from the NHL - either as rivals or sometimes the same team, now back to their respective countries.
In doing my part to support the claims of epic viewership, I too was compelled to watch this game — and I am glad I did! It was an excellent match. Both teams put on quite a show…
I was a little disappointed that this aired on MSNBC instead of regular NBC, which basically meant I had to watch it in SD instead of HD. While not the end of the world, this was a pretty huge game and would have been worth putting on one of their HD channels (at least locally).
Team USA upset Canada with a 5-3 stomping that was a tense game all the way to the end. With this win, Team USA finished first in their group and received a bye into the Men’s hockey quarter-finals along with an extra day of rest.
After the game there was a small story about this potentially being the last game that NHL players are allowed to compete in the Olympics. Initially I was suspecting an Olympic ruling, but instead it’s a greedy ruling by the NHL. They are upset with the two weeks of downtime they have every 4 years during the Winter Olympics, and feel it “hurts sales.”
To be honest, I would be skipping any NHL game during that time, and would only be watching the Olympic games anyway. All they will be doing is making USA Hockey teams look bad to other countries and even casual viewers by not sending our best players. In my opinion, this is a stupid move because seeing Team USA smack Canada around in Hockey was definitely a huge motivator to watch more hockey for me. I guess we will see how this pans out…
And now, back to Curling…

Sioux Falls Skyforce
Filed Under Entertainment, Events
Earlier this week Sonja had a co-worker who had a few Skyforce tickets that were going to waste, so we had the opportunity to go see a Sioux Falls Skyforce game this evening. Although it did dip into my Curling schedule, it was well worth it.
We’ve been to quite a few hockey games, but the fan base for basketball is easily double that of hockey. You can also tell in it’s sponsorship by the number of give-aways, presentations of donations, and even in the quality of entertainment. The Skyforce game had 5-6 characters interacting with the audience throughout the show, which by themselves were worth watching.
The Sioux Falls Skyforce finished with a 110 - 102 victory over the Dakota Wizards.
Even with all the basketball action though, the big news of the evening is still the USA Men’s Olympic Curling win against Sweden today. Even more incredible, they put Shuster back in the game. I was worried for him, because had they lost there would have been a lot of media backlash on him. However, this win right after being back in the game may just be what the whole team needed.
