CamStudio is a tool (open source) for recording screen activity into standard AVI video files (screen casting software). It also have the audio record feature. It can also used to convert AVIs into Flash Video format.

ATG CA - different activity sources used @ BCC

Read about how a new link can be added in BCC home page @  http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.com/2012/03/atg-ca-bcc-home-screen-how-to-add-new.html Normally an ActivitySource.properties file define the set of actions that it supports under a genericActivityDefinitionFile. But some ActivitySource.properties  define the actions  using the workflowActivityDefinitionFiles. For example consider the default "Content Administration" ,  "SearchAdministration",  " Merchanding "  and "Personalization" options in BCC homepage. Below I listed the ActivitySource.properties and other properties for these links. To get all these activitysource names, just take the / atg/bizui/activity/ActivityManager  component @ dyn/admin. Content Administration ActivitySource  --> /atg/bizui/activity/PublishingActivitySource genericActivityDefinitionFile Search Administration ActivitySource  --> /atg/bizui/...
