4.0 EA1 - Designer import errors

Hello,
during the import of Designer the following log entries are created:
2013-08-09 09:22:31,307 [Thread-33] ERROR ODExtractionHandler - Error during import from Designer Repository

Hello Philip,
clearing the preferences works and the import from Designer works ok.
The 4.0 Release Note also makes a note on this.
Anyhow, the java programs should not give null pointer and cast exceptions due to errors in user maintainable fields. I hope this can be improved that a clear message is given what the reason of the error is.
Best regards,
Joop

Net bridge design rule errors

Multisim 10.1.197 and Ultiboard 10.1.197
I could not get a net bridge to work in a Ultiboard layout, so I tried in a simplified circuit:
In Multisim, place a connector with several pins, for example HDR1X10.
Place a DGND and GROUND. Connect the first to pin 1. Connect the second to pin 5.
Transfer to Ultiboard
Rotate HDR1X10 so the pins numbers increment left to right
Place traces on the top layer so the pads of a net bridge connects one trace to another
Place a net bridge, picking GND and 0 (also tried 0 and GND)
This gives Design Rule Errors:
   Unused pin is connected to NET = GND
   Unused pin is connected to NET = 0
Is there a work around?
Ray

I am having the same problems. This is a very important feature that needs to work since there is no proper work around. This is always the case when there are ananlog and digital grounds that need to be kept separate, but also need to be connected somwhere in a very controlled fashion. I've followed the instructions exactly but what I get is a net bridge with no nets assigned to it's terminals. You can connect it up but you get the DRC errors as stated earlier.
This can be manually fixed by going into the netlist editor and selection each of the nets to be connected and adding on pin from the net bridge to each (NB1, pin _). This removes the DRC error and everything is happy.
The only problem is when you forward annotate again you lose the NB pin assignments and you have to edit the netlist again.
I tried a part in MS with the net bridge as the footprint, but UB will not impor the net bridge when you do that. To get around that I have a 'netconnect' part with just two dots and a silkscreen box around it. This can be placed where you want the bridge and will import each time. This is just a marker wheer you want the bridge to be. You still have to place the bridge manually and edit the netlist to fix the DRC error.
This is a bug. I should be able to assign the netbridge as the footprint of an MS symbol and have it come in with the right netlist connections when I forward annotate.   Alternatively, the netbridge assignments should be made to stick when the netlist is imported again.

Design mode error

Hi,
I'm creating a Flex application in which I use several
extended components I created in a separate lib.
In my root application, only for some of the extended
components, I get the following warning:
"Design mode: Error creating item com.foo.bar in parent
Application. Please choose Design > Refresh to refresh design
mode."
The refresh doesn't work, and those components don't appear
in the design mode.
I couldn't find the cause for some of the components to
behave differently.
All the components work as expected when running the app -
the problem is only in the design mode.
Did someone encounter this problem and know how to resolve
it?
Thanks,
Y.

It is related to the non-visual components. Sorry I didn't
see this thread earlier.
There is a flag you can use in your code to prevent
instantiating these pieces when you are in design view.
First, import the internal name space and UIComponentGlobals
import mx.core.mx_internal;
import mx.core.UIComponentGlobals;
Inside of your source, you can do the following:
if ( UIComponentGlobals.mx_internal::designTime ) {
//Things to do in design view
} else {
//things to do at runtime
I prevent any validators or rpc services from instantiating
in design view. This has made a world of difference.

File Import Error for mpeg-1?

When attempting to add mpeg1 files to render queue, AME 5.0.1.0 displays a messagebox "File Import Error" "Error while decompressing the source file".
These mpeg1s are direct from my Sony DSC-N2 point-&-shoot. GSpot identifies them as mpeg1 video codec & 32khz,64kbs,mono layer2 audio. VirtualDub has no problem with these files.
Any ideas? I'd upload them here but as uncompressed mpeg1s they're 41 & 19MB.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for posting the clip. I tested it and was able to reproduce your results. In Adobe Media Encoder 5.0.1, installed as part of CS5 Design Premium on Windows 7 64-bit with QuickTime 7.6.9, encoding the file to F4V (or FLV or H.264) was very very slow. It looks like AME is duplicating every frame many times over, which was confirmed when I stopped the encode and examined the partial file.
The problem did not occur, however, on a similar computer with CS5 Production Premium installed.
The reason, if I understand the inner workings of AME well (which I like to think that I do), has to do with which codecs are installed with AME, which is dependent on which Adobe products you have installed. Only Production Premium, After Effects, and Premiere Pro include the MPEG codecs necessary for AME to decode MPEG files natively. Design Premium, Flash, or any other Adobe product that installs AME do not install the MPEG codecs.
In theory, AME shouldn't be able to read your MPEG file at all. But when QuickTime is installed AME has a rule that allows it to ask QuickTime if it can decode certain types of files if AME can't decode them natively. In this case, yes, QuickTime can read this MPEG file. So it's actually QuickTime that is decoding the file for AME, and then AME takes those frames and encodes them to the output format. If you didn't have QuickTime installed, AME would just produce an error when you tried to open the file. (I confirmed this by uninstalling QuickTime; this is also why your previous bad QuickTime install was generating the error you first posted about.)
The problem here seems to be that QuickTime and AME aren't talking together very well. Either AME isn't requesting the frames correctly, or QuickTime isn't handing over the frames correctly.
The best workaround for you will be to use a different program to transcode your MPEG files to a different format. Either directly to F4V, or to an intermediate format (QuickTime, AVI, other) that you can then import into AME so it can properly transcode it.
Or you can take Jim's suggestion and shoot with a camera that produces files that are more friendly to editing. MPEG files are notoriously difficult to decode efficiently for editing, and the wide variety of implementations of the MPEG guidelines makes it nearly impossible for editing programs to be compatible with every single device that can write MPEG files.
I do have some good news: this problem has already been resolved for a future release of AME; my test of an internal build did not reproduce the problem.

FDMEE Import error "No periods were identified for loading data into table 'AIF_EBS_GL_BALANCES_STG'

Hi,
We are having trouble while importing one ledger 'GERMANY EUR GGAAP'. It works for Dec 2014 but while trying to import data for 2015 it gives an error.
Import error shows " RuntimeError: No periods were identified for loading data into table 'AIF_EBS_GL_BALANCES_STG'."
I tried all Knowledge docs from Oracle support but no luck. Please help us resolving this issue as its occurring in our Production system.
I also checked all period settings under Data Management> Setup> Integration Setup > Global Mapping and Source Mapping and they all look correct.
Also its only happening to one ledger rest all ledgers are working fine without any issues.
Thanks

Hi,
there are some Support documents related to this issue.
I would suggest you have a look to them.

How do I convert an excel (2008) document to Numbers? When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error. The file format is invalid"

How can I convert an Excel (2008) document to Numbers. When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error. The file format is invalid.

That extension identifies the most current Excel file format, a format that can be opened by Numbers '09 (and by Numbers '08).
A check with Numbers '09 shows it capable of opening .xlsx files when right-clicked (and Numbers chose as the application to open, when double-clicked (if Numbers has been set as the default application to open this type of file, or when dragged to the Numbers icon in the dock.
I see two possibilities for Numbers inability to open it and the message you receive:
1. The file is not actually an Excel file, and the sender has added the .xlsx extension to the filename manually.
2. The file is an Excel file, but has somehow been corrupted.
Have you tried opening the file with a different application? The open source Office suites, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice and NeoOffice can also open .xlsx files. If they're unable to open this one, that would point toward the file itself being faulty. You can download these applications from their rspective websites, linked in the names above. All request a donation to support future development, but only Neo requires one to have been made recently, and that only for the current release (which won't be necessary to open .xlsx files).

"Template import error: No VM configure file found" on brand new setup

Previously, I posted Console does not launch OVM 3.1.1, Win7x32 Firefox15/IE8 - Empty .jnlp file which was about VM Console not launching. Since this is a new installation, and it seemed to be a unique problem, I scratched the whole installation and started again from scratch. Everything, including the NFS file server, was re-installed from scratch CD OS installation.
The process is pretty straightforward once you're used to it, and in less than three hours I was ready again to import my first template (a template I had imported before). But now, I submit the the request, and almost immediately the process aborts. (You can see in the information below, that 1 second passes between the Import request (06:32:36) and the failure.)
Thing is, it takes about three minutes, even locally on the web server, to get an index of that large file (tar tzf), and at completion, the vm config file is listed.
Am I misreading the error? My web searches for enlightenment found only one good hit on this error, and in that case it appeared to be an "out of space" issue. In this case, though, I'm importing a 5GB tarfile into a 390GB, otherwise-empty file system, so I don't think that is the issue. The failure in ovs-agent.log is below. What other information may I provide to get to the bottom of this? (Thanks for any guidance/help, of course!)

How did you get the template to where you staged it?
I'd say the template is corrupt or you only have a partial template.
I did notice the call to the template is based on the short name of the host. Can you confirm the VM manager can access the http path via short name?

File Import Error - Adobe Media Encoder, help!

I'm at a complete loss. AME worked very well for me for a long time and booting it up yesterday gave me a paralyzing error.
Upon trying to import an MOV, MP4, and later a WMV, I received the following error:
File Import Error
The file C:\Users\tj\Desktop\New folder\SH_GS_PeekPlay_DEMO_720.mp4 could not be imported. Could not open source file. Please check that file exists with correct permissions.
I've tried everything I can think of:
1. Moved the file off the server and onto my desktop.
2. Double checked file permissions (all of which I have)
3. Uninstalled AE and Premiere to try to get rid of Media Encoder.
4. Searched for a way to uninstall AME so I could put a fresh install (can't find how to do this)
5. Manually updated AME
6. Reboot (multiple times between these steps)
7. Contact customer support - no help thus far.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit with Adobe CC and AME 7.0.1.58

Tried that as well.
To rule everything out, I had the files placed:
1. On company internal server
2. External Harddrive connected through Firewire
3. Internal Hard Drive (with OS)
4. Internal secondary Hard Drive (data only)
5. On Desktop (technically 1st internal drive)
I have since fixed this by uninstalling every single Adobe application (including Flash and Air) and redownloading and installing each.

Word to Pages "Import Error"

I have a load of files created by drag and drop editing of pdf files into Word tables. I want to use pages to edit these ... it should be easier with services. Most of the files open fine, but a few give me an Import Error. Any ideas? There are no obbvious differences between the accepted files and the rejected files. I mightjust gie up with Pages, leaving it for the Mrs to play with ... Keynote seems nice though!
(Sorry is this has been asked and sorted, but search is off-line and I couldn't find it in the messages when I browsed)

Julian,
Pages simply won't support a table with that many rows. If you need that many, you must use another application.
Perhaps the originator could use a tabbed list rather than a table. That's the only way you will be able to contain a list that long in Pages. You can do the conversion yourself if you open the Word document in LibreOffice, Copy the Table, Paste the Table into Numbers, Export the Numbers doc to CSV, and import to Pages. In Pages Find and Replace the Commas with Tabs.
There are probably other ways, but that's what comes to mind here.

Excel Import Error

I am getting this message:
Import error
This document was created with an unsupported version of Excel. Only documents created with Excel '97 or later can be opened.
I have searched and haven't found a solution.
This file was created in Open Office and has been edited in Excel 08(mac). Clearly not an old version of Excel. I have opened it in Open Office and re-saved, but Numbers still won't open it.
Weird.
Kirk

Found the answer. Both Excel and Open Office were saving the file back to version 5.0.
After forcing a resave and specifying a newer file type, it opened in Numbers.

Why do I get "Import Errors"?

I just shot 16 clips with my Canon HD camcorder (AVCHD). I put the memory card in my desktop computer (Windows7) after I had PrE11 running. Then I clicked Video Editor/New Project/Videos from Flip cameras, AVCHD cameras.
I saw all my clips and I clicked on some in the Preview window. They played OK. But when I clicked on Get Media I got this message: Import Errors/ Error Message/File already exits at C:\Users\Tommy\Videos\
What's happening? I didn't change the Presets: File Name, and Name:Untitled.
Can someone tell me what to do to get my new clips into the Timeline.
By the way, the clips I just took were the only ones on the memory card.

Tommyvincent
This is my take on your situation based on what I understood from your description:
However you did it (maybe hitting some buttons more than once or other) your videos got imported and saved to C:\Users\Tommy\Videos\. Did you look to see if they were there? If not, please take a look in that area to confirm or refute.
If they are in my video already as I suspect, then you have at least two choices
a. Import them into Premiere Elements 11 with the program's Add Media to get them into Project Assets (correct project preset)
or
b. delete them from C:\Users\Tommy\Videos\ and then repeat the import using Add Media/ and the Video Importer route that you wanted to use.
Please review and let us know the outcome.
Thanks.

The Brorsoft Video Converter software gives me an 'import error' message when I attempt to import files from a folder on my desktop. That folder contains many mpg files (MPEG-2 Video, AC3). Those files in the folder on my desktop came from a Sony video camera.
I need to convert those mpg files to Apple Prores 422 HQ so I can then edit them in Apple Final Cut Pro X.
But when I go to import those mpg files into the Brorsoft Video Converter software, it comes up with a message saying: 'import error', indicating that the Brorsoft Video Converter software does not understand the type of file.
I am on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8.
I've emailed Brorsoft support but I don't think English is their first language – they've emailed back to me asking for clarification of the problem. And I need the problem fixed as I have to edit this video for someone that has many waiting customers.
Could something have changed in the files when I copied them from the video camera to the desktop?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Paul

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I was using a friend's video camera – I've just texted him for the exact model of Sony video camera. I didn't yet have the Brorsoft Video Converter software when I had to give the video camera back to my friend. So, I copied the files off the video camera to my desktop.
It records onto an internal hard drive. And yes you're right, I don't need to go HQ. I also tried plain Apple Pro Res. That didn't work either. It comes up with 'Import error' message, so it seems like it just doesn't understand the file type.
When I go 'Get Info' on one of the files off the camera, it tells me it is an 'MPEG-2 video, AC3' file.
I'll try and get MPEG Streamclip like you suggested and see if that works.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Paul

Import error moving from iPad to iPhoto

Somewhat puzzled by the inability to import photos from my iPad to iPhoto.
Here's what happened:
1. Used camera connector to transfer high-def JPG format files from a Nikon D50 onto the iPad (no problem, and the *iPad displays the pictures* perfectly).
2. Attach iPad to Mac and start iPhoto.
3. iPad is shown as attached and import window is displayed, correctly showing 176 photos to be imported but *no images are displayed*, only the dotted outline boxes.
4. Attempt 'Import All...' and an *import error is shown listing all 176 JPG files* as not imported.
5. Start Image Capture utility and attempt 'Import All', same error is reported.
6. Attempt selecting just one photo and importing just selected item (fails in both iPhoto and Image Capture with the same import error).
It looks like the iPad can read the JPG files but for some reason the Mac cannot.
Setup details:
iPhoto '08 v7.1.5
Macbook Pro running OS X 10.6.2
iPad running iOS v3.2
Image Capture v6.0.1
Any ideas?
Regards,
Mark

Updated to OS X 10.6.4 and everything seems to work correctly.
