Issue with Save As option

Hello Experts,
I have BEx Web analyzer integrated with SAP- NW portal 7.0.
Everything is working fine .
I go to new analysis and select a query.
After this when I go for " Save As" option.
System and Type comes grayed out. Is there anyway to enable them ?
or
Would they remain disable as we have already selected the query from required system , I am not sure . please suggest
Thank you
Regards,
Khushboo

Hi Durgesh,

Photoshop batch production - issues with 'save for web'

Hi,
I'm having an issue with 'save for web' on a batch. I've just spent the last 2 hours searching the web and this forum and although the issue gets touched upon, the threads either suddenly head off in another direction, end, or i just struggle to make sense of the answers given.
I have 350 images that i want to resize to thumbnails and then save for web. 2 hours ago this seemed like a 5 minute job.
I creat an action called 'batch_thumbnail' and press 'Record'.
I then select 'File' > 'Open' and select an image to open using the dialog box.
I then select 'Image' > 'Image Size' and resize the image to the thumbnail size (200 x 125) and press 'OK'.
I then select 'File' > 'Save for Web and Devices', set my optimisation settings and press 'save'.
Using the dialog box that pops up, i navigate to a pre-created directory called 'thumbs' and press 'save'.
I then select 'File' > 'Close' and on the dialog box that pops up i select 'Don't Save'.
I then stop the action from recording.
So far so good.
I then select 'File' > 'Automate' > 'Batch...' and the dialog box appears.
I select my action in the 'Action' drop down menu.
In 'Source' i set the drop down menu to 'Folder', select 'Choose' and select the target directory with my 350 images in.
In 'Destination' i set the drop down menu to 'Folder', select 'Choose' and select the target directory (thumbs), where i wish to save the thumbs.
In 'File Naming' i leave the first box as 'document name', set the second to '_thumb' and have the third as 'extension'.
I then click 'OK'.
And this is where the problem begins. Everything works fine till it trys to save the second image. I can see what's happening, as the directory path and image name that are used whilst setting up the SFW part of the action, are getting hardcoded into the action. So every resulting image is being saved as the same file, instead of being overriden by the settings in 'File Naming'.
I've tried selecting 'Override action 'Save' command', but it doesn't make any difference. Is it actually possible to batch produce files using 'Save for Web and Devices'?
Cheers,
James

I have written a couple of Save For Web batch processors, they may be of use to you?
They can both resize and run an action if required.

Issue with SaveAs PDF using XSLFOP

Hi, We have been using SaveAs method to generate PDF files using XSLFOP technique successfully, however, recently we ran into an issue where a very large report (about 100+ pages) generated a PDF file that could not be opened. We get the following error when we try to open the PDF file. “There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.” We tried it again with lesser range of dates and the proper PDF file is generated. (Report was about 35 pages). So we think it has something to do with the large volume of data which is causing the SaveAs method to generate the corrupt PDF file. Any help will be much appreciated !! Note : In the same folder where we have the EXE,PBD and DLLs, we have two subfolders fop-0.20.5 and jre. Thanks, Chirag Vora

Hello Chirag,
We submitted this problem to engineering 10 years ago with PowerBuilder 9 !!!
It appears to be a problem with the FOP processor which needs a large amount of memory to complete the task. You can find similar issues with other tools than PowerBuilder:
The oXygen-user October 2003 Archive by thread
As a workaround, you can save the data in XSL-FO format within PowerBuilder, then use the fop.bat file in the \Shared\PowerBuilder\fop-0.20.4\ folder to convert it from outside PB.
This will still give you the memory error until you modify the batch file to increase the maximum heapsize for java.
In the fop.bat file change the java start command to : java -Xms64m -Xmx256m ...
The option -Xms definies the initial heapsize for the java engine and -Xmx the maximum heapsize.
We believe the default maximum heap is 64MB and this is what it is running into (or running out).
Setting it to 256MB with -Xmx and it was able to complete

Provide Edit WebI reports authorization with Save as option.

Hello Experts,
I am new to BO authorizations.
I have a scenario where i need to provide my users Edit rights(not modify) and provide them with Save As access while denying the save access(So that they don't overwrite the original report with their changes).
I was able to provide my users access to reports (like view & refresh) but they are not able to edit reports(have already provided Edit report access for Webi), also "save as" come grayed out while Save option is active.
Can anyone suggest how shall i proceed to give the users required rights.
Thanking you in anticipation.
We are on BO 4.0 SP6.
-Neeraj

Hello Anurag,
Thanks for your reply.
I have already assigned Schedule & VOD access for the folder but that doesn't help. and at Webi Application level i have allowed almost all the formatting options.
also the Manage - top level security for folders wont work for me as I have to give the users access to their specific folder "A" only.
Best Regards

Issues With Save For Web CS6

I'm having some issues with my file when trying to Save For Web. A band of transparency appears above my image even though I have everything cropped to the artboard, and the artboard is exactly the size I want the final image to be. If I uncheck "Clip to Artboard" the band of transparency disappears from the top, but reappears on the right side. It seems as if the artboard area is calculated differently in the Save For Web screen; its slightly off. I've included some images so you can see the issue.
Trying to save for web as a .png with "Clip To Artboard" selected; a tiny (one pixel tall?) band of transparency on the top of the image.
Trying to save for web as a .png without "Clip To Artboard" selected; the image seems to shift and the band of transparency appears on the right size. Also some of the pieces of the image appear on the bottom outside of the artboard.
I made sure to crop each element of my image to fit exactly on the artboard. Previously, I had made sure to use a clipping mask exactly the size of the artboard and still had these issues. I would like my .png to not have a band of transparency. It has the same issue when I change it to .jpg, but instead has a white matte band. What am I doing wrong, or is this just an issue with Illustrator? Thanks in advance!

Depending on your use of the image in context, won't the transparent strip "disappear?"
The only solution I know is to open it in Photoshop and manually crop out the transparent strip. AI or Save for Web also seems to antialias the edge of free-standing art over a transparent background. I just make the artwork slightly larger than the final cropped size, save for web, then crop in Photoshop.

FF_5 - Issue with Account Balance option while processing BAI file

Hi All,
We are getting a runtime error while trying to process the same bank file again through transaction FF_5 with 'Account balance' option checked. And the message says 'The ABAP/4 Open SQL array insert results in duplicate database records.' with the command 'Insert_FEBPI'. This happens only when we have combination of uploaded and not uploaded statements in the bank file.
I could find a OSS note for the same issue but that was for the file format MT942. We are using BAI file format. Can some one please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jalendhar

This is standard SAP functionality. If there are no applicable notes, then you should open an OSS message.

Colour issue with 'Save for Web' - Photoshop Elements 6 (Mac)

Cross posted here, but no answer so far. Sorry for cross posting. For me, this is urgent, but I know it's not for anyone else, so apologies for putting 'urgent'.
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/images-graphic-design-digital-photography/150670-colour-i ssue-save-web-photoshop-elements-6-a.html#post840419
This is a similar issue to this:
Save for web color issue
Except the user who posted the above was using photoshop cs3, and I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.
When I work on a photo, I get it just right, then go to Save for Web, and the original it previews is loads lighter than the orginal I was working on in the first place. See 'Picture 1' attachment.
I have changed the colour settings on the Save for Web options - I've chosen each one in turn, and none fix the problem.
There seems to be no similar option in PSE6 to this that fixed it in CS3:
IN the save for web box there is a small round button with an arrow in it (near the Done button).
In the list when this button is pressed deselect Convert to sRGB
I used to use PSE2 on a PC, and never had this problem. I didn't need to mess about with colour profiles or anything similar on the PC. The original was the original, not a washed out version of the original. Why spend ages getting the file just right, only for Save for Web to screw it up?
Any advice to fix this would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks very much for your reply.
I've uploaded the images here:
http://jimpix.co.uk/images/Picture 1.jpg
http://jimpix.co.uk/images/Picture 2.png
I deleted the prefs. file you suggested, and then opened PSE6.
I then tried the profile setting you suggested - but it's not an option:
http://jimpix.co.uk/images/Picture 3.png
I tried 'remove profile' just in case that worked, but the same effect happens on Save for Web.
Not sure what to try next!
Thanks

Adobe Photoshop issues with save as!

The save as is saving the photo the first attempt as a paper looking file with the tab turned down, as a jpg and if I save as again
it saves correctly as a jpg with the photo, how do I fix the issue of the first saved file incorrectly?

Issue with 'SAVE AS' RESTful service call in 4.1 SP5 ?

Hello Everyone,
I'm facing an issue when trying to save a webi document into another folder using 'SAVE AS' RESTful call, it's giving 500 Internal server error (through AZOT & RESTClient)
Following are details:
We are on to BusinessObjects version 4.1 SP5. In the AZOT workflow, I have created a new document and in the next call I'm trying to save this newly created document into another folder, then this is error is observed.
RESTful service URL:- [POST] : /documents/{docId}
Request Body:
                         <document>
                            <name>Testing SAVE AS</name>
                            <folderId>219060</folderId>
                        </document>
Response:
Can anyone help me with this ?
Thanks,
Ram

Hello,
Thanks for your prompt replies.
@Saritha:
1. On new document Save call is giving message as "NOT Modified", as i didn't perform any actions.So Yes, I'm able to perform SAVE.
2. Yes, I have performed other operations like creating a Report.
@Eric: 3. Yes, the folder which I'm trying to save is writable for the user.
My Observation: When I'm trying to 'SAVE AS' on new document its giving 500 error as I said earlier.
1. But, after creating new document, I created a new Report for that document, then 'SAVE AS' working. That means after performing some action/modifying the document 'SAVE AS' is working for me.
2. Same issue(500 error) observed when trying to perform 'SAVE AS' call on the EXISTING document as well (which is create in BI Launchpad, refreshing and working fine).
So, is it mandatory to perform any action (which brings the document to Modify mode [i guess]) before this 'SAVE AS' call ?
Thanks,
Ram

Issues with save in Illustrator CS4

When I try to save a file in Illustrator it takes ages for the "Illustrator Options" dialogue to appear, upwards of 30 seconds. During this time illustrator is frozen. I have tried saving a file with just a single line in it and all swatches brushes etc deleted and this still occurs so it is independent of file size and complexity. Also it happens regardless of the file type I am saving, eps ai etc.
This also occurs when saving a file with the same name (Ctrl+S), it just takes ages and freezes Illustrator in the meantime, though obviously no dialogue box appears.
Once the progress bar appears it seems to progress at the correct speed, it's just there's that initial long pause before saving commences.
Files also open at the right speed.
Saving different files in other programs e.g. psd files in Photoshop works fine, so I'm sure this is an Illustrator problem rather than a drive or hardware problem.
I am running CS4 on a PC and have run updates recently. This problem just started occurring a day or two ago.
Any help or pointers would be very much appreciated!

ok i think I've got this sorted. I found the thread where someone was having a similar problem because of installing a new printer so changed my default printer to adobe pdf (even though I have had the same printer for years) and this solved the problem.
A new conflict must have just started for some reason, perhaps something to do with switching to cable broadband and the new equipment related to that (?)

Issue with Capture Task Option showing correctly in MDT 2013

I am aware that having the variable of DomainJoin will prevent the capture dialog from appearing when running the task. The problem is, even when the options are greyed out due to the domain settings not being applied from a different setting in the workflow
it still breaks the task.
E.G.
I am using the database, and have my workflow as such:
[Settings]
Priority=Model, TaskSequenceID, LSettings, CRoles, RApps, LApps, MMApps, MMSettings, Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty
DataBase:
Location Settings: Overall settings for Domain join, wizard skips, etc info per gateway
Role Apps: Apps per role
Make/Model Apps: Apps specific to a piece of hardware
CustomSettings INI:
Model/Task Sequence/Default: I have tried to null out the DomainJoin settings with these variables by adding workgroup join by task ID, Model, etc and nothing seems to work. I've verified in other tasks
that these settings take place of what's in the DB, but the DB settings are still there, greyed out and causing an issue.
[X86SYSANDCAP]
JoinDomain=
JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP
[VMware Virtual Platform]
JoinDomain=
JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP
As shown below the model/TS specify the workgroup (1st pic is normal deploy, 2nd is cap) but the greyed out settings are still having an effect. Skip Capture is set to NO at each level, and when I remove the Domain from the DB it shows up correctly.
Not sure what to do besides removing the domain everytime I want to do a capture, which seems a bit unreasonable and I don;t want my T1s in the DB.

I highly recommend to always use the standard Client task sequence for a build and capture. Much more reliable.

PDFOpenOptions issue with open(file, options)

Hi guys,
I have a script to open JPGs and now I need to adapt it to open PDFs.
I'm getting a "wrong type of enumerated value" error exactly because of the way I'm working the PDFOpenOptions (line "open(fileList[i], pdfOpenOptions);").
I found quite a few scripts that define pdf open options just like I did, but in all of them the root path was hard coded (I need it dynamic).
So, where am I going wrong? Too much time on it, can't see errors anymore... (mac, cs4)
#target photoshop
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
app.backgroundColor.rgb.red = 255;
app.backgroundColor.rgb.green = 255;
app.backgroundColor.rgb.blue = 255;
var pdfOpenOptions = new PDFOpenOptions();
pdfOpenOptions.antiAlias = true;
pdfOpenOptions.mode = DocumentMode.RGB;
pdfOpenOptions.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
pdfOpenOptions.resolution = 72;
pdfOpenOptions.supressWarnings = true;
pdfOpenOptions.cropPage = CropToType.TRIMBOX;
var fileList = File.openDialog("Select files to batch",true);
if (fileList != null) {
     for (var i in fileList) {
          if (fileList[i] instanceof File && fileList[i].hidden == false) {
               open(fileList[i], pdfOpenOptions);
alert("Done");
else {
     alert("No files selected");
Thanks in advance!

Cool!
I had to figure some other things out like extracting the path from openDialog
which I didn't find anywhere else.
So it's finely time to share a decent and commented script (with the invaluable
help of Muppet Mark, thanks man!):
//This script is set to open pdf files,
//make 256x256px JPG duplicates,
//create a folder named zJPGs relative to the doc's path
//and save the files there
//Gustavo Soares,
//with the great help of Muppet Mark and many others
#target photoshop
//set units to pixels
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
//avoid displaying dialog boxes
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
//set background color to white

app.backgroundColor.rgb.green = 255;
app.backgroundColor.rgb.blue = 255;

IPTC issues with Save for Web

I have images with the copyright notice field, copyright status, provider and source fields filled in.
When I do a save for web, I'm trying to adjust the IPTC data that gets saved but nothing I do seems to work. On thumbnails, I don't need any of that data but I can't get it removed. No matter what I select, there's always stuff in the copyright notice field.
Similarly, if I try to simply change the copyright status field and leave everything else as is, I usually lose (data gets wiped out) provider and source and I get extra data put into the copyright URL field which wasn't there before.
I also get the file data cannot be read error when opening up these files sometimes because photoshops seems to mess up how it writes the IPTC data. Image data seems file, it's only when photoshop fills in the copyright url with the same data from the copyright notice without asking me.
In CS2, I had to use ImageReady because it would wipe out all the data and then I just used iView to easily put back in the 3 fields I was using. Now that IR is gone, I figure I need to migrate this to CS3 but no matter what combination of options I select, it seems metadata handling is horribly inconsistent.
Can anyone tell me how it works? I've tried making a script step to set the data I want, I've tried working with an image with the fields the way I want them and then doing the save for web so it records the data I want, I've tried both with and without the include XMP option but I can't seem to get anything to work properly.
Edit: Didn't make it clear but I'm trying to record a batch action where I scale images to 6 different sizes and then do a save for web at each size.
Please help.
Thanks

Depending on your use of the image in context, won't the transparent strip "disappear?"
The only solution I know is to open it in Photoshop and manually crop out the transparent strip. AI or Save for Web also seems to antialias the edge of free-standing art over a transparent background. I just make the artwork slightly larger than the final cropped size, save for web, then crop in Photoshop.
