IPhoto 7.1 Issues with colour from external editor

Further to my previous post.
When i saved a document edited in Photoshop CS3 to iPhoto 6 the process would be:
File>Save As, which in turn required three dialogue boxes to be checked, the last one being "Replace existing document with the edited version". This option no longer exists.
Any suggestions please as am totally confused.

When I edit a photo with PS CS3 and it remains a jpg file, I only get the window with the option to pick the compression/quality level of iPhoto. But if the edit I make requires a format change to psd then I get window shown below and have to pic one of the two options presented depending on if I want to keep it as a psd file or not.
If it stays a jpg then you will just get the quality level selection window.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Issues with importing from excel

I have been running into a several issues with importing from Excel.
First my configuration
I am running SQL Developer ver 1.5.5 Build MAIN-5969
I am on a Windows XP Professional Version 2002 with Service Pack 3
I am importing into an Oracle 10g database.
1. SQL Developer doesn't work on Excel 2007, I have to save all my files into Excel 97-2003 format before I can use them.
2. If I run into an error loading and stop the process, SQL Developer doesn't release the Excel file and I get a sharing violation if I try to save the spreadsheet without closing SQL Developer.
3. I have found that I have to set print area to the area I want to work with, otherwise the import wizard tries to keep adding rows.
4. When using the Import wizard, it keeps adding commas on fields with numerics unless I specify the column in excel as text. Currently the column is formatted as General in the spreadsheet or I can change the wizard format to say the column is an integer, but it actually is just a code field with numeric characters so it may have leading zeroes that I need to keep.
This might be related,
I have a column in excel defined as text but only contains numerics. It is of length 4, but the wizard sets a precision of 5 with a datatype of VARCHAR2. If I try to change it to 4, I get an error saying the field is not large enough. Yet, when I do a LEN on the column, it only gives me a 4. I have other fields in the same sheet that a 3 position numeric and 2 position numeric and those are fine. I am thinking this is related to the comma being inserted in a numeric field for anything greater than 3 positions.
5. Importing excel dates to oracle dates doesn't work. I have to convert the excel date column to text then import as a VARCHAR, then convert to Date once in the database.
6. The default of nullible is not set on any columns and I have to set them before the import. (I would prefer it set to nullible and I have to uncheck the box to make it not nullible. I would prefer to import all of the data and then deal with the nulls after they have been pulled in)
7. When I select header columns included it uses that as the column names. Is it possible to do the name length check then? It has bit me a few times where I try to import and forget to check the name length and then I get an error when I start running the import.
8. If one of the columns to import has all nulls, then the precision comes out to 0 and if it isn't changed an error occurs on import. Could this situation default to a precision of 1?
9. It would be nice if there was a completion message displayed and a cancel option while running.

On point 3.
I have a column in excel that consists of numbers. 4 digit numeric codes. Ex, 1111, 2345, etc
The column's format is general. It displays as just 4 numbers.
When I start the wizard initially, the column appears with data as 1,111, 2,345, etc, on the Data Preview screen.
It determines the precision to be 5 on the column definition screen.
If I change the precision to 4 then continue, that field will error out when I verify with "not big enough to hold the data in source columns"
If, I change the excel column to a TEXT column.
Excel still displays as 1111, 2345, etc
The wizard then displays the same data 1111, 2345 on the Data Previeiw screen
Yet, when I get to the column definition screen it still sizes it as a 5
If I change it to a 4, I get the same error when verifying.
If I leave them alone as 5, then it processes just fine.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

Any issues pulling files from external partners using PI File adapter?

I would like to know if there are any issues with pulling files directly from external partners using PI File adapter.
We are estimating 60 communication channels to pull files from the external vendors (25 vendors). Polling for these communication channels will be done for every 5 minutes. We have a load of around 500 files per day with peak size as 50MB and average file size as 2MB. We are currently using PI 7.0 SP12.
Did any one face any problems with respect to performance or any other issues?

The volume as described would be handled with no issues.
Memory tuning and threads tuning may be required - see this guide:

IDOC with extension from external ECC system

Hello experts.
I have a scenario where I need to receive an IDOC with extenstion from an external system.
how can I define the xsd of that IDOC in my PI system?
will I need to receive an xsd file from the external system and import it as an external defenition?
how is it done? (this 3rd party doesn't have a PI system, so they can't export XSD like me)
another option is to build a similar IDOC with extenstion in our SLD, and import it into the PI system... but it seems a bit problematic.
I'll be happy to hear suggestions from people who had to implement a similar scenario.
thanks,
Imanuel Rahamim.

Hi,
Three questions:
1. how your external system will send to you the data: by an Idoc-XML file ? or by directly an IDoc (so with an ALE config) ?
if it's ALE config, then you should have also a connexion to this Ext. ECC system, for instance to return back an acknowledgment. And so, if you have a connexion, you can import this IDoc into PI.
If it's a file, they have to provide to you an XSD file, that you can use as External Def, and create a Service Interface. So it will be not really like an IDoc, but like all other message which look like an idoc.
2. with this ext. ECC system, do you have a logon connexion ?
if yes, you can import this IDoc into PI.
3. Do you have to send the same IDoc to your own ECC system ?
if yes, that means the extension has to be developped in also in your own ECC. In that case, you will be able to import it PI and use it for source and target.
> how is it done? (this 3rd party doesn't have a PI system, so they can't export XSD like me)
you can find on SDN, some program to generate an XSD from a DDIC table/structure, but for complete IDoc, I don't know.
Anyway, if it's really an ECC system, the better way to exchange data, it's to do an ALE config from their system to your PI, and no issue to import the IDoc def in PI.
regards.

Back to iphoto from external editor?

I set PhotoShop Elements as my external editor so when I edit a pic in iphoto it opens up in the PhotoShop edit window. How do I save the file so it goes back to iphoto? When I hit save, I'm asked where - so where do I save to iphoto?
Many thanks, M.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Are you seeing what's in these screenshots?
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds

Issues With 2 TB External Drive via USB

I've had the Extreme sine August and everything about it has worked great. I had a Seagate 500 GB external drive connected to it and all of my devices could access it and use it.
Now, I upgraded to a 2 TB Seagate Free Agent and I can't get it to work with the Airport Extreme.
The 2 TB drive shows up in Airport Utility, works fine when connected directly to the computers, is brand new with 3.0 capabilities (although nothing in my setup is usb 3.0) and has been tested as both OS X Journaled and FAT32.
I've seen one publicly posted issue around this drive (unresolved), and have noticed a couple unresolved issues with drives this size not working via USB on the Extreme.
Is the Airport Extreme just not handling 2 TB drives?
Is there something I'm missing?
Is there anything somebody else has done to make a drive work that wasn't?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks.

I bought two Seagate GoFlex 2TB drives from CostCo @ $99 each. I formatted both drives as Mac OS. One of the two showed up with NO Disk Need Repair error and worked great but I couldn't get the second one to work. After physically attaching both via USB to my MBP, I formatted the second one again as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to no avail. Then I checked the first one and found the discrepency. The first one was formatted as Mac OS in the DISK and in the VOLUME. The second one was only formatted as Mac OS in the Volume. The "DISK" part was still in the original facotry format of MS-DOS (FAT). I had forgotten to format the "DISK". Once I re-formatted the "DISK" as Mac OS then hook up to the USB hub to the ABE, a sweet success!

Having issues with permissions on external hard drive.

I'm very new to my MacBook Pro, and I'm having an issue with my external hard drive. I used it to bring important files (mostly music) from my windows 7 laptop to my mac. Once I finished that I noticed that I was missing some of my music which luckily I have on CD so I uploaded them to another computer and loaded them onto my EH. This is where the problem occurs, when I drag my music from my EH most of it gets copied, but a small number end up giving me an error and won't go to iTunes. I've dug a little deeper into the issue and it all comes back to not having proper permissions to us my EH. However the songs that were imported still open in itunes when clicked on. I've tried looking for the lock symbol under Get Info, and it isn't there.
Any Ideas?

Yes - with Windows/Mac 'compatibility, it's really a one or the other compatibility - without third party software. Just as Paragon has software that will enable you to read & write to an NTFS volume on a Mac, so they have software for Windows that will read Mac-formatted drives - http://www.paragon-software.com/home/hfs-windows/.
NTFS, with Paragon's NTFS for Mac, is probably the best way to go if you want to 'share' the drive with both Macs and Windows machines.

Issue with load from livecache

Dear all
In our APO system we have encountered a strange issue with data loaded from livecache into the infocube.
Problem is in the infocube, where there are two requests with a forecast version data with the same amount of data.
When I look in my infocube in APO I see e.g. the two following request IDs for a given product:
REQU_4CZ4SQ5PSM9V5PHJCHTIS24GK is the most recent load from Livecache (replacing any previous livecache loads).
APO_R43U3KZLM0V3WVK112YEK3KKLE cannot be located. It is not available on the infocube manage section
Ultimately this results in double data for this given product.
Do any of you have an idea as to what this APO_* request could be triggered from?
This is the input from the BW-team:
This indicates that an APO program has modified the infocube data without updating the request tab of the manage infocube. But it has updated the request id of the data which is transformed. With subsequent loads into the infocube, these records are split based on different request idu2019s, and loaded collectively into BI.
I hope you can help me out.
Best regards,
Anders Thinggaard

Hi Visu
It seems I made a typing error in my description of the problem. It is of course the DESTINATION combination, not the SOURCE combination, that is written into the infocube when realigning on the infocube.
This, of course, creates the request ID starting with APO. Besides that I get the request starting with REQU when I load from livecache using an infopackage. So far so good.
What confuses me though is that when I load back into livecache (load my planning area) is seems to pick up the correct amount of data (not taking the APO* request into account) whereas my load to my external BW out of my APO infocube seems to pick up both the REQU* and the APO* requests, resulting in dublicate data.
Have you had this challenge as well?
My first idea is to make the BW team make some ABAP coding leaving out any request ID starting with APO*. However it seems to me that this is a stardard functionality of APO, and I'd like to get to the bottom of this...
Best regards,
Anders
P.S. As I understand, the copy logic only dertermines whether data from source combination is added to or overwriting the data for the destination combination.

Oracle 10g - issue with "DELETE from TABLE WHERE ID in (1,2,3)" (cfqueryparam used)

Hello, everyone.
I am having issues with running a DELETE statement on an Oracle 10g database.
DELETE
FROM tableA
WHERE ID in (1,2,3)
If there is only one ID for the IN clause, it works. But if more than one ID is supplied, I get an "SQL command not properly ended" error message. Here is the query as CF:
DELETE
FROM TRAINING
WHERE userID = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" value="#trim(form.userID)#">
AND TRAINING_ID in <cfqueryparam value="#form.trainingIDs#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INTEGER" list="yes">
Anyone work with Oracle that can help me with this? I'm an experienced MS-SQL developer; Oracle is new to me.
Thanks,
^_^

Nevermind.. a co-worker just told me that I still have to use parenthesis around the values for the IN clause.

I also have a question regarding dimensions. I have a model in PAS which has data from different data sources (BW and excel). In excel I have dimensions which are not loaded from BW (they don't exist there). How to create such dimenison?
Thank you a lot in advance.
Best regards,
Petra

Petra,
The Forum isn't really designed as a training system but rather where people can share questions or get a separate pair of eyes to look afresh at issues that aren't working for some reason. This is particularly the case for something which is as important as creating dimensions.
The idea of the SSM Cube Builder/Model Designer was to enable people to build models with their relevant dimensions and metrics for demos and simple initial systems using manual data entry. If you are getting into building dimensions that will be outside BW then you are moving into the implementation arena rather than demo creation and need to work carefully so that things tie up.
I doubt people would expect to be able to set up/implement BW without training and SSM is the same.
If you would like training or would like to collaborate on a first project to enable skills transfer then my colleague Pedro and I would be happy to discuss this. We have done this with other people and it has worked well.
Regards
Colin

Quality issues with calls from US to Korea

I've always been a big fan of Skype. I have a premium account and I use "Skype to go" to call from the US to South Korea. Starting about 5 months ago, the quality of these calls has severely degraded. It is almost not worth the call. It is very difficult for me to hear the people I've called and for them to hear me as well. There is no Skype customer support contact phone number listed anywhere on the Skype website that I can find. Otherwise, I'd be addressing this issue with a real person. Is there a reason for this call quality degradation? Is there a fix in work? Is there a customer service number I can call? Is it time for me to leave Skype?

rates are available on http://www.skype.com/en/rates/ just enter Itay in the destination and check the rates lower down the page.
If you are going to make a lot of calls - check the subscriptions available too...
There are subscriptions that include landlines and mobiles as well

Issue with calling an external web service using web service proxy

Hi,
I've created several web services using JDeveloper succesfully in the past, however I'm getting an issue with one that was working ok previously. Have spoken to the developers of the external web service and they say they haven't changed anything. Also if I test the external web service through soapUI for example it seems fine so it would seem that the issue is with the autogenerated code created by JDeveloper.
Basically I get the following exception as it sends the request to the external service:
java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed: Bad Authentication header format: 'Basic realm="Integration Server" encoding="UTF-8"'
Expected "," at position 33
The user name/password appear correct.
JDev version 10.1.3.42.70
Any ideas?
Many Thanks
Gary
Edited by: user10916721 on 08-May-2012 09:54

Found the answer. Basically I had one proxy web service working and one not both linking to a middle tier written in web methods. THe issue actually ended up being with the web methods code in that the one web service (that was not working) was put together using a backwards compatability mode. Once this was switched back then started working again in JDev.

BO XI issues with properties from BPC

Hi all,
I post again my message (it was not in the good forum) and I complete with answers to Andrey.
We created an universe on a BPC cube, after creation, we see all the properties of the dimension, but this is impossible to see the values of the properties, only their names.
Andrey asked "What do you mean by "to see the values of the properties""
What I mean is that if we make a request with WEBI on the universe, then we cannot see the values of the properties, ie I cannot see the value of the property "EVDESCRIPTION" in my request for example.
My colleague is trying to make a request that displays some accounts in line with the description of the account for example, and we can only see the ID of the account, but the EVDESCRIPTION property is empty each time, and this is the same with all properties of all dimensions.
Did someone already encounter this issue ?
Thanks

Post from thread: Re: BO reporting on top of BPC NW
Problem during Query development:
1. If we put unverse's dimension (in terms of BO) to Query and then execute query we can see the data from the dimension.
2. BUT
when we add an object "Measure" (for example YTD) to "Dimension" and run query - we have no data returned back. (even just Dimension data).
I found this issue documented in SAP note 1495455
It says:
Symptom
Business Objects Enterprise report has been created using the ODBO provider delivered with BPC 7.5 NW.
Report works well with only dimensions retrieved.
Same report using measures, gives error:
" The 'No data to retrieve. Query 1' "
Environment
BPC 7.5 NW.
Cause
This is because of the default behavior of ODBO provider.
If no restriction on any dimension, the ODBO provider takes the default member of a dimension to build the query.
The default member is the first member along a hierarchy.
The original ODBO comment is:
"We loop through our contexts and for each context, we create a
fully-qualified tuple consisting of the member as specified in the
context followed by the default member(s) of the
hierarchy(s) on the slicer axis as derived above."
Resolution
So the cube does not have transaction data and the WebI reports the no data message.
This is not a bug.
I took this to mean that you need to set a filter on each dimension (class in the Universe). Once I did this, I was able to get data.

Issues with charsets from NUC ERP system to UC BI System

Hi guys
We are actually in the process of Upgrading and Unicode Migration for BI and ERP Landscape
BI Landscape is the first stage so we are facing an issue with char sets
ERP system generates a plain txt file which is later pick up by BI system to run a chain process.
This plain txt file, contains Spanish Special chars which are causing the issues.
I have found a note which converts file at OS level from one code page to another code page
Is there another more transparent solution, like forcing NUC ERP System to generate the plain file in a format which can be read by UC BI System
