SharePoint Bug? Conflict Error when saving a Page with a "Required" DateTime field in the page layout

Hello,
I've just recently encountered a weird error / bug in SharePoint. Here is the scenario:
- I have a custom column "Test Date" that is of DateTime field type. The field is configured as REQUIRED.
- It is added to a custom Content Type "Test CT" that is based on a "Publishing Page" content type
- I have created a Page Layout "Test PL" which is based on that particular content type.
Now here is what happens:
1. I try to create a page based on both that Content Type and Page Layout in the Pages Library. I manage to create it successfully.
2. However, when I go to try and edit the page, fill-in the required values and try to save it using the PAGE TAB -> SAVE BUTTON, I get the below error/s. Note that this happens no matter what I choose in the drop-down menu for Save Button.
"The file XXX has been modified by USER on DATE"
But I know I am the ONLY user modifying the page.
If I try to save again it gives me options to whether Discard my Changes, Keep Editing, Overwrite Changes, or Merge.
3. HOWEVER, if I use the Save button on the UPPER RIGHT corner of the screen (the shortcut). I am able to save successfully without any errors!
The only thing I've tried that made it work was if I made the DateTime OPTIONAL. But I need it to be REQUIRED.
Is there any workaround to this error / bug?
Thanks

I have some additional info but nothing really good.
If you click the Save in the left side of the Ribbon then it looks like that is when you get the message. If you click the Save in the top right corner you won't get the message. They must be calling different saving functions.
There really is no way around it other than making the field optional which probably removes some server side validation checks causing that message.
We've chosen to remove that field from the page as I needed it required, then they can't publish the page until they go to the properties and set the article date. By removing the field from the page layout the message goes away.
I hope MS will fix this at some point.

Error when saving a default format for a date field in 11g

Getting this error when attempting to save the default for a date field in 11g:

Thoughts and suggestions?

I have a Support Request open with Oracle right now (it's taking a few weeks to resolve) but here's the update:
OBIEE 10g handles DATE types differently than 11g. Both the support rep and I can't figure out how, but they are different. If you bring the column in as a DATETIME in your Physical Layer you can't save it system-wide, even if you do set a time zone for your account (My Account -> Preferences -> Time Zone). If you bring the column in as DATE you can save it system-wide but you can't display the hours/mins/secs, only the M/D/Y. This has been tested on a 9i and 10g database and produced the same thing on both. The problem never occurred with those same columns using OBIEE 10g.
Oracle support has not fully admitted this as a bug, but the rep working on this SR said this will probably be fixed in the next release- 11.1.1.4, which is due out late Jan/early Feb of this year. He is trying to reproduce this so he can log it as a bug (which we all are hoping for!) so Oracle can address it.
For now, I've found that you are stuck with two options: 1) bring the column in as a DATE, display it system-wide as a saved format, but you can't show the time, and 2) don't save that date value with a system-wide formatting and set it manually on every report you need a custom format (don't forget to set your time zone).
If I hear anything more back from Oracle support I'll update this thread.
Sorry guys, looks like we're all stranded on this one...

Bug or error when handling leap years with WDS/DS

Hi all,
I discovered a difference in outcome with Build and Debug (without screens) and Build and Debug with Web Determinations or Determinations Server when calculating days within leap years.
I use the function DayDifferenceInclusive to calculate the amount of days in an insurance period.
the amount of days of the insurance period = DayDifferenceInclusive(the start date of the insurance, the end date of the insurance)
With the regression tester or Build and Debug (without screens) I get the following outcome for the following input:
*93 = DayDifferenceInclusive(02-29-2008, 05-31-2008)*
When we use Web Determinations or Determinations Server we get the value of *92* for the exact same input data when it should be 93.
Is this a bug in the java code? How can we fix this or is there a work around for it?
We're in the middle of System Integration Testing for a huge project so help is much appreciated!
Best regards,
Niels Roest

Niels,
thanks for that - and it looks like in the Netherlands daylight savings started on the 30th of March 2008, which as far as I know is the trigger for this error.
I have reproduced the issue against 10.1 using the period 01 October 2010 to 30 October 2010, which contains the date that daylight saving started in Australia.
As for ways to work around the issue, I can offer 3:
* wait for 10.2 - it's in beta at the moment (though given your opening comments, this might not be an option for you)
* set your server locale to one that doesn't have DST
* work around the issue in rules:
Firstly, the issue is that the shipping version fails because it doesn't take into account that one of the days is shorter than the standard 24 hours.
The trick is to replace the DayDifference function with the HourDifference function and round to the nearest number of days.
So given a rule that looks like:
the result = DayDifference(date one, date two)
it can be rewritten as:
The result = round(HourDifference(date one at 00:00:00, date two at 00:00:00) / 24, 0)
* the whole "at 00:00:00" is necessary because HourDifference works on datetimes, not dates.
Sorry for the hassle.

Andrew

Replicate data on subsequent page with Fixed Number of Fields in the Layout

Here is a tricky one. I have a Report that is generating a sort of Master Detail Report. This report prints on a Pre-printed form.
1. 1/3 of the Page is dedicated to logos and Company information.
2. Second 1/3 part of the page is dedicated to the Customer information (Name, Address, Phone/Fax details)
3. Final 1/3 part of the page is the detail which can accommodate up to 4 rows. In this section, there are individual fields for the 4 Lines. The goal is to show up to 4 records in the Detail and if there are more records being fetched in the cursor (More than 4), then I need to print the Header section again since its the same Customer and the Detailed records start from Record Number 9 and then 17 and so on.
I am populating the Header and the Detail records in a Formula Column and not in the Main Query. The Main Query is pretty simple, it just gets all Customers based on a Zip Code. This is why, there is only one Repeating Group and all the items (Master record) and the Detailed Records (Which are basically individual fields placed one below the other) are part of the same Repeating Group. They are being populated in a Formula Column and not a Query.
Having said this, is this a very cumbersome way to take this approach? The Report already exists in this state and I need to make some modifications and this feature I am talking about would be a big leap.
Thanks

I have changed the Report and it has become simpler and more manageable. What I now have are two separate Queries. The Main Query gets all the Customer Information based on Zip Codes and lists all the Personal Information in the middle section (The top section is left blank for the Pre-Printed form). There is now another Query which is linked to the Main Query based on Customer ID. The second Query is retrieving Multiple Records.
Q_1 = Main Query getting Customer's Personal Information
Q_2 = Detail Query getting all the Invoices for the Customer with different dates
Now, is there a way to say that if Number of Records > 5 (Invoice Detail Repeating Group), print the details on the following Page? However when I am doing this, I also want the entire Header section to be replicated on the following Page.
Example: Customer ID 1001 (David Taylor) has 10 Invoices that need to be displayed. My output should be like below

Error when saving a modification or just closing Acrobat with a pdf open.

Then i receive a Microsoft visual C++ Runtime Library error with Acrobat.exe and 'R6025 - pure function call' as the error code.
Next this other window pops up saying there is an unknown software exception.
I have reported this bug to Adobe, but would appreciate any assistance.

Error when saving

Hello BW Experts,
I am getting this error while saving a query in Bex.
'The query could not saved due to a problem in transport'.
I am actually creating a test query production. I am not sure why it is refering to the transport. From what i understand there is nothing to deal with transports.
Anyone experienced a similar problem before.
Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
BWer

OSS NOTE 194051
Symptom
An error occurs when you save a query:
Error when saving
"The query could not be saved due to a problem in transport".
Other terms
Business Explorer, query, transport, save, R9 124
Reason and Prerequisites
There are 4 possible reasons for this problem:
1. The BEx default transport request or the development class-dependent transport request is not maintained or released in the Administrator Workbench.
2. The system is set to "cannot be changed". Refer to Note 337950 (as of 2.0b SP 11), which describes how query objects can be edited in systems that cannot be changed.
3. You are not authorized to write to Workbench requests.
4. The BEx default transport request or the development-class-dependent transport request in the Administrator Workbench has another target system than the query (the transport destination of the query is determined via the transport layer of the query's development class (as of 3.0: of the package)).
The error only occurs for query objects which already have a development class, that means, which were already placed on a transport request.
Solution
Solution for Cause 1:
a) Start the Administrator Workbench
b) Choose 'Goto' to change to Transport connection
c) Choose "Request BEx" or "BEx development classes" in the toolbar.
d) Create a (new) request.
e) All changes in the BEx are now written to this request.The end user is no longer confused by 'Transport' dialog boxes.
Solution for Cause 2:
See Note 337950
Solution for Cause 3:
Authorize user to write to Workbench requests.
Solution for Cause 4:
Create a request for each target system. Assign the request suiting the target system of the transport layer of the development class (of the package) to each development class (as of 3.0: to each package) used for BEX objects.
If this does not change the situation, further information is useful for error analysis.
Go to Transaktion SE16, Table RSZCOMPDIR. In field COMPID, select the technical name of your query. Read the COMPUID of your query.
Go to SE37, function module rso_elem_get_related. Parameter I_IOBJNM is set to the COMPUID, and parameter I_OBJVERS (object version) is set to A. Only the export parameters E_T_OBJ_EXISTENTIAL and E_T_OBJ_DEPENDENT are of interest.
These entries are then entered in function module rs_tr_objects_check_insert in import parameter I_T_TR_OBJECT. In this parameter, fill field PGMID fixed with 'R3TR' and field OBJECT fixed with 'ELEM'. Field OBJ_NAME is filled with the contents of field OBJNM from export parameters E_T_OBJ_EXISTENTIAL and E_T_OBJ_DEPENDENT. The other fields are not relevant.
The export parameters of this function module are required for further error determination. Add this information to your OSS message. The table of messages E_T_MSG is important in particular.

Font licensing error when Saving?

I use Illustrator CC and get a licensing error when saving designs with downloaded fonts.
The designs look fine on my computer and fine when I open them from my drop box account.
The problem comes when others open the design, the fonts change to Arial in most cases, which is causing design issues.
This is even happening when the design is saved as a PDF.
How do I solve this problem?
Can I get licenced fonts?
Where are they available?
Many thanks for reading.

You can have your other contacts download and install the same fonts
or
you can select all the text in your document and create outlines of the fonts, printers often ask for this option.
or
You can purcahse fonts from say Adobe and if I am not mistaken you can have those installed on five work stations, I do not know if you are allowed to consider a colleague as legal user of the fonts. And I do no recall if the number of seats for the fonts have changed but it used to be five seats. As I recall.
or
you can purcahse from My Fonts as well http://www.myfonts.com but again the other contacts ave to have the fonts installed as well check out how many seats for the fonts ypoouare entitled to and if that includes remoe sites for the seats.

'Install App for SharePoint' There were errors when validating the App Package

Hello,
When testing with an app, I tried to add an
app event receiver before learning that remote event receiver are not allowed with
Sharepoint-hosted app. So I reseted the Handle app installed and
Web Project properties of my project and tried to redeploy and this error occurred :
'Install App for SharePoint' There were errors when validating the App Package
Something other than the project's properties have been modified but I don't know what.

I think the best way to figure real reason out is to look at ULS logs.
This is example, what I had:
Unexpected App Packaging: CreatePackage: Unexpected exception: There were errors when validating the App package: There were errors when validating the App Package. Other warnings / errors associated with this
exception: The current version of SharePoint is less than the SharePointMinVersion specified in the app manifest. CurrentVersion='15.0.4693.1000', SharePointMinVersion='16.0.0.0'.

Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
Release the keys.

Error when saving an Outlook attachment eg. Word Doc after opening it.

we made the group policy change which was giving an error when saving from opened attached files.
But for 1 particular RDS user the error still seems to be occurring. i've tried the following,
1. recreating outlook.
2. recreating user profile.
3. deleted the group policy history from the registry.
4. tried removing outlook add-ins.
your help would be really appreciated.
kind regards

Hi,
What is the error? Does outlook crash? Would you please also detail the group policy change?
We can try cleaning out the Temporary Outlook Files folder to check the result.
We can refer to the following link for the detailed steps to locate and find the temp folder:
http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/securetemp.htm
Then we need to use OutlookTempCleaner to clean the folder:
