16:9 format TV instructions

I've created my FCP project as a DV NTSC Anamorphic project. When I play it on a wide-screen TV it shows up first with black bars along the sides. When I press the "pixel shape-Wide" button on my converter it fills the screen properly. Is this the normal procedure and instructions to give to my client showing the video at a trade show?

From what you describe, your source is anamorphic but the TV doesn't know. What are you playing back to the TV from? DV tape? DV? VHS (shudder)?
Most widescreen TVs will automatically go into "wide" mode when you play an anamorphic source, although the TV has to KNOW that it's an anamorphic source. If it's a DVD, make sure it's been authored as a 16:9 anamorphic disk, with all tracks, menus etc specified as 16:9.
If you authored a DVD in iDVD, it doesn't carry through the anamorphic flags properly and you sometimes have to do the kind of manual switching you describe. There is an app called "Anamorphicizer" which fixes this, do a google search and you'll find it.
In DVD Studio Pro, all menus and tracks should be designated 16:9 (DVDSP's myriad letterbox/pan-scan options are designed for 4:3 playback, good to set them, but I don't think they are relevant to your particular problem at the moment).
If you're playing from a DVD, the FIRST thing to make sure of is that the DVD player is set up for a widescreen TV.
If it's a DV tape or VHS tape, depending on how you're connecting to the TV the anamorphic flag may not be detected, and you'd have to set it manually as you describe.
Best and most foolproof option for you is to burn an anamorphic DVD (properly authored of course). This will play back correctly on any correctly set up DVD player: in widescreen on a wide TV, or letterbox mode on 4:3 TV.
Best of luck and hope this helps.

R12 - Format Payment Instructions errors (AP check printing)

Hi,
When I create payments with payments manager on R12.1.2, the process always fails when it's submitted to format and print.
It uses seeded oracle check templates, and the Format Payment Instructions conc. prg which fails.
log file says:
oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XMLParseException: PI with the name 'xml' can occur only in the beginning of the document.
I already tried with an empty template as well, but didn't help.
Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this?
Thanks,
Attila

What did you do for the Custom payment formats ? Did you convert them as XML publisher as per Note id 562806.1 ? We are even upgrading to R12.1.2 and the Payments error out in the Formatting stage. If you can share the information, it will be helpful to us.
Thanks,
Ashok

Format Payment Instructions with Text Output issue

Hi All,
We have requirement like don't want print checks in oracle, just process the payment, generate the document number(check number) in oracle and send the data file to third party system. It takes care the check printing.
For this I developed e-text xml template, created the payment format of type Disbursement Payment Instruction, attached to bank account and Payment process profile.
When I am processing payment it is submitting 'Format Payment Instructions with Text Output' instead of 'Format Payment Instructions' but that program extracting the previous check information which not related to supplier and as well as payments batch.
Please let me know what would be the issue?
Thanks
Praveen

Hi Javvaji,
Please check the following steps,
1) Created XML Pubblisher template and attached the .rtf (Type - eText-Outbound, Default Output Type - eText)
2) In Payable Manager responsibility Create a Payment Format ->
Setup-> Payment Administrator-> Formats (Add XML Publisher Template created in step1)
3) Setup-> Payments -> check existing Bank & Bank Branches
4) Setup-> Payments -> Bank Accounts -> Create the payment Document Number
5) Attach the Bank account to a valid supplier: Payables – Suppliers -> Entry
6) Now to create the payment Process Profile (PPP)
Navigation : go to Payables -> Setup-> Payment Administrator
7) Now to attach everything (PPP,format,document etc.) to the Template
First step to Create a “Template”
Navigation: Payables,Vision Operations -> Payments -> Entry -> Payments Manager
8) Then go to Tab “Payment Process Requests” Then click on “Submit Single Request”
9) Check View -> Requests
No output generated in 'Format Payment Instruction' program.
which program I can get the eText output?
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Sagarika

No parameter view when running "Format Payment Instructions" conc prog

Hello everyone. When submitting the Format Payment Instructions program (when making a payment) I am not asked for any parameters. Previously the program would ask for parameters. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what to do about it? Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
It is a memory or buffer related problem. Contact your BASIS.
Looks like there is a shortage of space. Analyse the dump in ST22 and look for its proposals.
OSS note 965351 might be applicable (if you are on 640/ unix).

Check printing "Format Payment Instructions" stuck at printing phase

Hi,
One of our end users is complaining that he is running a Check Print Request (Format Payment Instructions), which is running since morning, though it completes within 2 minutes.
when i checked the logfile, i found that the request processing was completed successfully and the request is stuck at printing phase:

I verified that the printer is working fine. I was able to print the sample file from OS and also the Active User Request output.
Also, the same request if printed via other check printers, is going fine and users are able to print the check.
Also, when i checked the OPP log, i did not find any messages for this request that the XML publisher has worked on it to convert it to PDF, the desired format.
Can someone help me with this.
thanks.

What is the application release? OS?
- solaris sparc - 64, R12.1.1, on 2 node RAC 11g
Since morning, the request is running and log is showing the same message.
Have you tried to submit the request again?
- Yes, more than twice.
Now, the user is saying that till 2 days back, he was able to print the checks via the same printer.
What if you submit the request as another user and print to the same printer?
- That I have to check with the Users.
I verified that the printer is working fine. I was able to print the sample file from OS and also the Active User Request output.
Any stuck jobs in the printer queue?
- We restarted the printer too and fired new jobs. All is fine.
Also, the same request if printed via other check printers, is going fine and users are able to print the check.
Since you are able to print the same request to some other printer, and you are able to print to the same printer from the OS/Application, then most probably this is an issue with that specific concurrent request (not concurrent program). Also, please check if you have any locks in the database (bounce the CM/Database if possible and try again).
- CM and Database are brought down at night and then started in the morning every night. So DB and CM have been bounced twice since the issue was reported.
Hussain, how can we check the issue with Conc Request, if any.

Format Payment Instructions - Need the XML file.

Hi,
We have a requirement to print first page of this check print program to go to one printer and the second page onwards should go to different printer.
In order to achieve this requirement we had planned to have 2 programs. first program will be the standard 'Format Payment Instructions' which will print only the first page and we will have second program which will call the JAVA FO Processing API with the XML file generated from the first program and the layout name to generate the PDF file.
But the problem here is we are not able to find the XML file for the 'Format Payment Instructions' program. Does this program generates the XML file in a different directory? Can anybody help us with the Unix path name where the XML file will be generated.
Thanks
Lakshmanan A.

You can upload the ECCN XML file from the GTS cockpit -> SAP Compliance Management -> Classification/Master Data -> Load ECCNs from XML file.
You normally get the ECCN XML files from data provider website.

XMLP Format Payment Instructions - Release 12.

Hi,
I am running a Payment Process in release 12, I am using the seeded XML UK BACS template however the Format Payment Instruction process is not producing an output.
Has anyone come across this problem before- are there additional config/setup steps required?
Regards
Carl

Did you resolve this? I'd like to see how you resolve it. I'm actually trying to figure out where this program "Format Payment Instructions" gets the printer that it's calling. I found where I can disable it so it prints nothing. But I'd like to know for sure what is going on and where the printer value is.
You can go to System Administrator > Concurrent Programs > Define > Search for this concurrent program and unselect "Print" but that doesn't resolve the issue completely since it disables printing.

I used bootcamp assistant to partition my hard drive to install windows. When I got to the part to install windows, I selected the bootcamp partition and then choose format as instructed but it would not continue stating that the partition was in GPT par

Please help!! I partitioned my macbook pro hard drive in bootcamp so that I could install windows. Everything appeared fine until I got to the install part. I selected the BOOTCAMP partition and then selected format as instucted. That was it. The install could not proceed because it says the partion is in the GPT format instead of NTSF. At this point it erased the "BOOTCAMP" name from the partion but the partion still exists.
I tried to reform by going back on the OS side, in disk utitly, erase and format. It will not allow me to select NSTF format.
What do I do to fix this??
Thanks for you comments.
Kristina

In Boot Camp Assistant when you select the format option the Boot Camp partition it automatically formats the Boot Camp partition as NTFS since this is what Windows requires. There is no option to select NTFS or any other format type.
