AME in iAssets

Dear Members,
We're implementing iAssets.
Since we have a complex approval process ,to satisfy the requirement of our organization we have setup many custom approval rules in AME.
Here I have one doubt.How the system(i.e.,iAssets) will know which custom approval rule in AME to use?
Is there any profile option or setup related where we can say that our iAssets should use so and so custom approval rules in AME?
Your inputs will be of great help.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Arun Reddy.

Hi All,
I am trying to create a rule for i-procurement using AME. If an item is "IT", it needs to go thru the normal chain of hierarchy which is working fine.
Now we have a requirement to send it to 2 more people after approval from chain of hierarchy. For this I created a post approver group and added 2 people say Person A and Person B in the group.
SO for example. if item is "IT", the approval route should be
Person 1 -> Person 2 -> Person 3 -> Person A -> Person B. So Person B should always be the final one to approve.
Then I attached this to the rule by making it a combination rule.
It works until the point when Person B who is in the approval group is also in the chain of approvals, it goes thru the chain first and then goes to person A and stops there as Person B has already appeared in the chain.
Like this Person 1 -> Person 2 -> Person B -> Person A -> (Person B is skipped) as Person B already approved once. We want Person B to be final approver. We want it this way
Person 1 -> Person 2-> Person A -> Person B
I changed the variable repeatedapprovers but doesn't work the way we want.
Appreciate any ideas.
Thanks

Adobe Media Encoder (AME) Freezes Machine in Windows 8.1

I'm running adobe CC on win 8.1 and every time I render a video from After Effects to AME the whole machine freezes and I would have to restart at that time...Any one running through the same issue?? Any solutions??
Thanks
TK

Nothing but problems since the 8.1 update. Media Encoder renders perfectly fine up until the same point on my sequence, (though i can render that section on its own without issues).
The log file looks like this:

Error compiling movie in Premiere and failed export in AME (CS6) - PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi,
I'm trying to export from my timeline which contains multiple mxf files shot with a canon xf105. i'm using cs6 on an apple mac and I never had this issue before:
When I try to export to a quick time movie directly from Premiere I get this message after 5 seconds:
When I send the video to AME I get this message including a sound of a sheep after 10 seconds:
I have about 100 7 second clips that make up an 11 minute movie. I copy and pasted 4 clips (28 seconds) into a new sequence and tried to export it and it worked, both directly through premiere and through AME. Does that mean that premiere and AME can't handle so many clips? Or why is it showing me an error?
I'm helpless and I need to finish this project very soon, I would be SO GRATEFUL for any help. Don't know what to do ..
Thank you!

Thank you John. I sat all night for about 8 hours on it and found out what caused the error. I had about 100 clips in my timeline that I was trying to export as one movie. Four clips caused the error. These four clips would playback perfectly in premiere, the whole timeline would render and everything seemed normal. Only after exporting 5 clips at a time I could see where the export would fail and show an error. At the end it was four clips, these four would playback fail to export, causing the entire sequence to fail.
I have one question about this:
1 How and why did this happen? Does that happen often with MXF files shot on a canon xf camera?
2 How can I avoid this to happen again in the future?
3 Isn't there a quicker way to find out which clips are causing a problem, rather than having to export each of them first to find out (which is a very annoying thing to do if you're literallt working with hundreds of clips)?
Would be great if somebody has any insight for future reference!!!
Thank you!

Urgent Help required on Manager Self Service HR AME Rules

Hi,
I am implementing R12 Manager Self Service and creating custom AME rules for routing approvals. Can anyone tell me the steps to create rule for:
1. Change Job in job KFF (What query? Which attribute?)
2. Change Job Title (ass_attribute2 under assignment DFF)
3. Change in Organization field
Also, I have created rule for Leave of Absence. But upon approval, employee's status still showing active for that duration. How to link it with absence approval? This is standalone HR with no Oracle Payroll.
This is very urgent so any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mayur.

Can u please elaborate your leave of Absence requirement

PP CS4 Problem with exported H.264 .mp4 video. Can't AME do proper encoding?

Trying to export a Video of ~60mins using the H.264 Codec .mp4 which converts in AME successfully, allthough when playing back the f
ile, it has problems after ~40mins. When i try to jump to a later point in the timeline to playback i.e. 48th minute or 50:10 or wha
tever, the image freezes, audio continues and it takes 10-20 secs untill the video image continues.
I tried different playback programms like VLC,Windows media etc. and different compressions 2-5Mbps as CBR and VBR1 / 2, nothing cha
nged.
Source is Sony DV and i have some still images as .png. Since the first 30mins work alright, i thought i try out if something with t
he source material in the timeline is causing the problem , so i cut after the 30st minute and copied the first 30mins behind that
to get a 60mins video, but exaclty the same playback issue after ~40th minute.
Is this an most likely a problem caused by AME using H.264 .mp4 Codec?
Other videos i did months before in the same way using the same source material worked fine. Adobe Premiere and AME is up to date!
Thank you

hmn sounds like it makes sense. I have seen that "i-Frame in GOP" somewhere in PP i think.
Allthough i recall that i had videos i exported which played fine till the end with no delay at a later seek distance.
I noticed that quicktime player has the same issue but is much quicker than VLC.
Is there a work arround or alternative? Can it be improved?
I need H.264 & .mp4 for webpodcast on vimeo.com
The only thing which looks strange to me ist that the lenght of the delay showing the images (i guess finding it) takes almost the same time
as on other later point like at the very end. Id assume that if its normal behavior the delay should become bigger and bigger with a later point in time ?
Appreciate your time to answer jim,Thanks

Trying to Live Webcast on YouTube using AME and external mic on apple computer

Hi. Im an ADOBE forum newbie Ive tried to flick through the forums to find a solution to this but cant. Basically i am trying to webcast on YouTube via my mac but using an external mic.
I have a macbook AIR. And i recently bought a behringer 302USB mixer to input my audio from the microphone i have to the computer via the USP port.
When i look in the system preferences/sounds, it recognises the USB mixer and it shows that sound is being input by the volume level indicator moving.
However, the microphone isnt recognised as an audio input in adobe media encoder (im presuming this is the same as FLME .. i couldnt find a forum for flash live media encoder) ... it seems to automatically use INTERNAL MIC ...
WHen i decide to try and see if the USB set up works in garage band, it records fine ... same for quickime .. so it seems to pick up sound and record to computer .. what i seem to be struggling to do is direct the sound to the media encoder for it to record the sound from the USB mic .. as opposed to the internal mic ..
I tried a little trick by attempting to redirect via SOUNDFLOWER .. then into AME via soundflower ... it recognised soundflower .. but the audio came out silent ... so it once again didnt seem to recognise (or process the audio live ...
I need to use an external mic as my internal mic picks up too much noise .. and the external mix is very directed in what sounds it picks up ...
Does anyone know a fix?? .. this is driving me mad ...
cheers
Billy

It's not only the files in the Programs folder which are installed by most Windows applications, but also the files in other folders (e.g. Programdata) as well as the Registry settings, which are required to run an application. Installing an application in a folder, coping it and running it from somewhere else was possible in the good old DOS times.

Quicktime encoding using x264 encoder failing in AME 6.0.2.81 and Mac OS 10.8.2

I'm trying to encode an x264 codec Quicktime using AME 6.0.2.81 and Mac OS 10.8.2. I also tried it with two versions of the x264 encoder which I downloaded from here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24173/x264encoder
This encoder works 100% fine and better than the h264 encoder when using Apple Compressor and Apple QT Pro V7. I've been however trying to transition all of my video encodes to AME due to a number of reasons: dynamic link to AE, Premiere and the interface to name a few.
Everytime I start an encode it gives me an error and I hear that blasted sheep. lol. This is what the log displays, which is frankly probably no help to anyone.
- Encoding Time: 00:00:00
01/13/2013 04:48:10 PM : Encoding Failed

Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
I've also tried to specify the bitrate and have had no luck. Whether I specify the bitrate or not, I still get the error. The source video has been PNG sequences and ProRes movies at 1920x1080, 29.97fps. Both result in the same unknown error.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I know this is pretty old now, but I thought I'd add a reply for those who are having this issue. I just had AME CC 2014 fail on me today, and this is the FIRST thing I've ever tried to render with it. I'm using a TGA sequence and exporting to an X264 codec Quicktime MOV file at 720p. I restarted a few times, repaired permissions etc. and nothing worked except for the following.
I went to:
Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder/8.0/
I deleted the entire 8.0 folder (or you could delete whatever version you are having problems with). I then restarted AME and the preferences were recreated and I could successfully use the x264 codec again. Hope this helps someone.

AME Taking Really Long Time To Open Encoding Settings

With the release of the 2014 versions of AME, I have experienced really long wait times when opening the encoding settings for a job. For example, if I add a 1920x1080 image sequence to the encoder, pick Quicktime as the container and any of the available codecs, clicking on the codec name to open it's settings causes a really long delay, maybe 3 minutes, before the settings dialog will open. I am using a Macbook Pro with Yosemite. Previous versions before 2014 version never had this issue. Is this a known issue?
thx

This is a known issue with running AME on Yosemite. We are working with Apple on the issue and hope it will be fixed in an upcoming OS update.

How can i use AME for the new OAF page.

Dear all,
I have developed a new OAF page and registered under Employee Self Service.
How can i use AME for the approval process.
Appreciate your ideas?
zamora

I will try to answer based on my experience of working with iProcurement and AME. It depends on how you want to make a call to AME , directly from OAF Page or from Workflow and your requirement. You didn't specify what you want to show the users on OAF Page and your business requirement.
Before calling AME Engine from the OAF page or workflow, I guess you did already setup AME Transaction Type and it's Approval Groups, Conditions, Action Types and Rules. Do some testing from AME Business Analyst Test Workbench. Please note that, AME provides lot of PL/SQL API's that you have to call from your programs (java or workflow pl/sql)
Let's look at the workflow and putting an OAF Page as notification.
As Sameer said, you have kick-off workflow process from PR of CO and with in the workflow function, you make a call to AME Engine API's with the AME Transaction ID. This transactionId belongs to the AME Transsaction Type that you setup. Based on the rules setup, AME Engine generates list of approvers/approver and stores them AME Tables for that transactionId. Then, it sends a notification to the approver.
In the workflow, where that notification is defined, in the message body you have to put an attribute(&XX_WF_FWK_RN) of type document/send. And this attribute will have the constant JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=XX_FUNC&paramId=-&DOCUMENT_ID-. This function is SSWA Jsp function that makes a web html call to your OAF Region.
If your requirement is to just show the list of approvers on the OAF Page, you may have to call AME API diectly passing your AME TrasnactionId with other parameters. Then AME generates list of approvers and stores them in AME tables with each approver status. You can pickup those approvers using VO and show them on OAF Page.
Hope this gives some idea.

How do I interpret multiple footage files at the same time in AME CC?

I have about 50 ProRes QT files that I need to transcode. But AME CC is seeing them as Square and I need to set them all as D1. When I select all my files in the Qeue and go to interpret footage, the option is grayed out.
I'm running on Mac OS X 10.7 if that helps at all.

Is there a way to set a default "Source Range" in AME when exporting from Premiere Pro CC?

When exporting a sequence from Premiere Pro CC, you are able to toggle between 4 drop down options within Adobe Media Encoder on what Source Range you'd like to export (Work Area, Sequence In/Out, Entire Sequence, Custom) as seen here:
Is there a way to set the default Source Range to something besides Sequence In/Out?
My reason for asking is that sometimes I export multiple sequences at once using AME's Queue. I add my custom presets to each Sequence and hit export, but SOMETIMES I may have accidentally marked an in point on my timeline and by default it's set to export only that In-to-Out part of the sequence.
I know what you may be thinking...well, just don't add any In/Out points to your sequence on the timeline or clear them first. The trouble is that I often don't see them or catch them when working quickly. In Premiere Pro CC, I use the "Lighter Brightness" Appearance setting because it's easier on my eyes after editing 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. Sure, darker looks cooler, but it kills my eyes for some reason. Anyway, PPro CC has a troublesome appearance issue in CC where it's not "optimized" for editing when you change it to a lighter appearance like it was in CS6. I've already contacted Adobe about this and another appearance issue (involving highlighted clips when in Lighter Appearance setting) and they are "actively working on fixing this appearance issue asap".
For reference, here's Premiere Pro CC in/out points in default dark appearance (notice the slightly lighter grey area):
Now here's that same in/out in "Lighter Appearance":
Not exactly optimized. Can hardly see it. Good luck spotting that little guy on a long timeline. Sadly, this affects in/out points in the Source Window as well. Really hard to see.
Conversly, CS6 looked the best (the blue REALLY stands out making things easy to see):
So my question again...is there a way to set the default "Source Range" to something else besides Sequence In/Out so that I don't end up doing what I just did and leaving for several hours while batch exporting only to come back and find that I exported only a "portion" of one of my big sequences?
Thank you!

Here is the solution: Slow down. Give your project some love. Smell the roses.
Agreed about the roses but alas my next project always calls. Actually, I think what happens is I give each project SO much love that when it comes to exporting, I've run out of time.
shooternz wrote:
Then it would not be a default...it would be an option and you already have that option.
Semantics aside, I would love to be able to have it at least default to whatever option was last chosen. Or, perhaps I shouldn't use the word default again...I'd love it to simply remember my preferred setting. That's all.

Is there a way to merge videos together with AME, or with other Adobe product(s)?

Ideally, I would like to import three videos into the Adobe Media Encoder for re-encoding and merge them together into only one resulting video file. Is this possible?

It's currently not possible to do this directly in AME. You'd have to put the clips together in a Premiere sequence or AfterEffects comp and export that sequence/comp to AME. I'm not sure which other apps allow you to essentially stitch together separate clips.

Error while opening AME Approval Function

Hi All
I am trying to open the AME "Approvals" Function in R12 Vision Instance and I am getting the following Error.
The requested URL /pls/VIS/OracleSSWA.Execute was not found on this server.
Seeded approval functionality for iRec is working fine.
I am logging in with a vision instance user only with a seeded responsibility "FED AME Application Administrator".
I checked the function details but could not make out any thing. Here are the function details

In R12 old AME functionality will not work. Old AME pages as in 11.5.10, AME.A are built using mod PL/SQL. But in R12 mod PL/SQL is not supported. In R12 all the AME pages are build using OA Framework now and using RBAC mechanism for assigning responsibilities.
For setting up AME Rules in R12 one can follow the following note
Approvals Management Responsibilities and Setups in AME.B
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=434567.1&blackframe=1
Following are the error you might get while opening the AME Approval function from old responsibility.
1.
The requested URL /pls/VIS/OracleSSWA.Execute was not found on this server.
OR
2.
Can not access function AME_WEB_APPROVALS. This installation does not manage mode pl/sql. Please contact your System Administrator.

Getting error while calling AME api from the page

Hi,
I am calling ame api ame_api2.getallapprovers7 from our custom page.I have written following code-
public void getapprovers(String transactionid)
String OutError = "";
ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
OADBTransaction trans = getOADBTransaction();
String insStmnt = "BEGIN " +
"ame_api2.getAllApprovers7(applicationIdIn => :1,transactionTypeIn =>:2,transactionIdIn =>:3,"+

stmt.setString(2, "XXXXCWKAPP");
stmt.setString(3, transactionid);
stmt.registerOutParameter(4, OracleTypes.VARCHAR);
stmt.registerOutParameter(5, OracleTypes.ARRAY,"XXXX_APPROVER_TABLE");
stmt.execute();
// OAExceptionUtils.checkErrors as per PLSQL API standards
OAExceptionUtils.checkErrors(trans);
ARRAY arrayError = stmt.getARRAY(5);
Datum[] arr = arrayError.getOracleArray();
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)
oracle.sql.STRUCT os = (oracle.sql.STRUCT)arr;
Object[] a = os.getAttributes();

if (OutError != null)
// OAException.raiseBundledOAException(al);
4 and 5th parameters are out parameters and 5th parameter provides the approver records and it should have the same data type as ame_util.approversTable2. I have created this table type explicitly in oracle by the name XXXX_APPROVER_TABLE but i am getting the error while running the page "java.sql.SQLException: Fail to construct descriptor: Unable to resolve type: "APPS.ETHR_APPROVER_TABLE"". I requirement is to take the 5th parameter in ame_util.approversTable2 data type.
Please help me urgently.
Thanks
Ashish

Hi Kumar,
The ETHR_APPROVER_TABLE is custom pl sql indexed table that I have created.following are the parameters of api-
procedure getAllApprovers7(
applicationIdIn in number,
transactionTypeIn in varchar2,
transactionIdIn in varchar2,
approvalProcessCompleteYNOut out varchar2,
approversOut out nocopy ame_util.approversTable2);
i need a out variable of type ame_util.approversTable2 so get the values.
I have changed the code and now getting the following error-
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-03115: unsupported network datatype or representation
I have only changed this statement.
stmt.registerOutParameter(5,OracleTypes.PLSQL_INDEX_TABLE);//,"XXXX_APPROVAL_TBL");

Help! AME Stops in the Middle of Encoding - AME 5.5

Hello - I am hoping someone can help me as I am hitting a brick wall with my production suite! I am going to be as detailed as possible however I am not an expert in how software and my hardware interact.
Issue - My Adobe Media Encoder stops in the middle of encoding and does not complete the task in the queue.
Software -
1. Adobe Production Premium - Premiere Pro CS 5.5 (v5.5.2) and Adobe Media Encoder (v5.5.1.12)
2. Mac OSX v10.7.5
Hardware -
1. 12GB Ram
2. ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB Graphics Card (obviously not supporting Mercury Engine)
3. 2x 2.4GHz 6-Core Intel Zeon
Issue History
- Until this point, all of my projects, videos, and exported media have been 78 minutes or less. I am now working on a project that is 112 minutes of full HD footage. Before Thursday, AME has performed flawlessly for me. The project in Premiere Pro has source video footage that is 1920x1080 29.97 (50mbps). On this Premiere Sequence there are several dynamically linked AE compositions with upper and lower thirds and titling. Finally, there are maps that are in native 720p size movies that are scaled to fit throughout the program at the beginning of each chapter.
- I am attempting to export and encode this video for use in Encore. I have queued the project for export out of Premiere into AME using the following settings:
H.264 Blu-ray
Video Only
VBR 1-pass
Custom Bitrate - 26.5 target, 35 max
Render at Maximum Depth
Use Maximum Render Quality
Prior to Updates in Software:
- On Thursday I queued 4 files for export: 2- PCM audio only files, 1-H.264 Blu-ray video only, and MPEG-2 DVD video only
- AME ran over night and produced the following: 2 audion files completed successfully, 1 H.264 file completed successfully, MPEG2 file seemed to be 'hung up" and AME was not responding.
- Shut down/forced quite AME and tried to encode only the H.264 file. The encode failed as it hung up at different points in each attempt in AME.
- I searched and installed updates for my adobe production suite (premiere pro, AME, and others were updated to the versions listed above).
- Friday I attempted to export the H.264 file from Pr to AME and it encoded successfully!
After Updates were Installed:
- I had to make some additional revisions to the project in Pr after reviewing a draft Blu-ray. Now trying to export the revised video has failed each attempt:
- On Saturday, I experienced the following results with AME:
2 PCM Audio Only files - encoded successfully in AME (with Pr running)
H.264 Video Only file (specs above) failed - the AME froze about 1/3 through the composition.
At this point I shut the computer down and let it sit overnight.
- Today (Sunday), I tried again and experienced the following:
H.264 Video Only encode (same specs) though this time I shut down Pr thinking this would save RAM and the encode failed again. I did notice that it locked up at the same point as the previous attempt on Saturday which was a new symptom.
RAM usage was 7-9GB during the encode.
The place where AME locks up is immediately before a transition from the source video to the 720p map footage. Although there are two other segments with the same transitions and 720p footage that it did encode through.
I have researched this issue on this forum and have read the following thread thoroughly: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856263
The above thread described the issue I was encountering before I installed the updates precisely. But now I am still unable to successfully encode this project in AME to H.264?
I am hoping someone can provide something to help, I have a completed project and I can't get it encoded! (I contacted Adobe and they said my SW was now unsupported from their customer service).
Thanks for any help with this!!!
Chris

Thank you Todd for your quick reply - I contacted Adobe via Live Chat and never got a case number... I did however send the transcript of the conversation to my email...
Khongyairong: Please give me 2-3 minutes while I check and see what best I can do to resolve this issue.
Christopher Kratzen: sure - I have checked the forum for similar issues and found that there was a large thread on the subject - but no clear solution. I am starting to panic because I can't get my project to export
Khongyairong: Okay . Thank you.
Khongyairong: Thank you for your patience.
Khongyairong: Christopher, I am sorry to inform you this, we don't have support for CS5.5 , we have support available only for CC and CS6 . I request you to please refer support portal or forum where you can repost your issue and our experts will be giving you the answers.
Khongyairong: You can also purchase the phone support if you want a support.
So your advice would be to pursue Adobe Technical Support on this issue? I wasn't sure how to go about this since I really haven't had an issue until now... the production suite does a spectacular job with everything else! Just need to get my finished program encoded....
