Another CS6 build questions thread

Hi guys,
My first post here, I've been reading lots on here today thanks for all the info!, I'm building a new edit of, mainly for pp & ae cs6. I think I'm there with components but would love to hear your opinions and experiences before I click the pay now button in case I've missed something or there's something better about to be released...ideally I'd like to order this in the next couple of days as I have an intense project next week but I could do it on current pc it will just be more painful!
So, I mainly edit using hdv or xdcam ex, lots of video layers & effects especially magic bullet etc...and my current setup doesn't even come close to cutting the proverbial mustard...
Am looking at following bits, but 1 question, a few years ago I had a dual Xeon system with a Canopus dvstorm card on I think premiere pro 1.5, and it was blazing fast lovely real time effects but more noticeable for me was the output render times, I've read a lot over the past three days and it seems that cs6 only uses the processor for output rendering, is this the case? Or am I missing something!?
So (based on videoguys DIY 9 and extensive research online)
Asus p9x79 pro (please advise if the ws is any better? It seems not and I have a pci FireWire card anyway...)
Intel core i7 3930k (c2) (can anyone tell me what the "rev2" difference is?
Evga classified gtx680 4gb (I read...and read...and read....and read...and decided on this over the quadro 4000 please advise!!!???)
64gb (8x8gb) ripjaws 1600mhz 12800 (I've decided to take a punt on these as I've read on here that Samsung lv (1.3??) is more stable...this is the part I'm least confident on so please please feel free to suggest what memory!?) I've gone 64gb as I understand after effect can use it?
256gb Sandisk extreme sata3 ssd (boot)
2 1tb caviar black (striped) (are the velociraptors worth it!?)
2 2tb caviar green (pre backup "dump" drive & music/sound effects etc
Fractal designs r4 titanium
I'm hoping that will speed things along a bit?
My main questions are...
Edit hardware my old Canopus DVD storm, and to a lesser degree my multibridge (now gone) add something, but on this setup there's no 'edit card' if that makes sense? Am I missing something (apart from an I/o device for capture p/tape export ((FireWire??)) any 'high end' work I do is on xdcam so no capture necessary?
Memory...what's the official line? Will the ripjaws work?
Gpu... Are the quadro cards better!? Or do they assume 'professionals' are less likely to over clock there cards and so offer longer warranty ;-)?
Any other criticisms/ recommendations?
Thanks

Quick update...Ive just ordered the parts hopefully arrive tomorrow and I can put everything together!
Thanks so much to everyone who contributes on this forum, I havent replied to all, but I have read SO many posts on here this week!
Have I missed anything (Apart from a hardware raid controller and 10 velociraptors!!!)
I may treat myself to a new Keyboard and mouse, I have a R.A.T 9 at the moment which I absolutley love! but get fed up with swapping batteries and so considering getting the "7" either that or the logitech mx revolution... any other recomendations?
Also was about to order one of these...
http://www.editorskeys.com/video-editing-keyboards/adobe-premiere-dedicated-keyboard.html

Another CS6 Hard Drive Thread...

I hate to do this... because it has been covered A LOT, but I wanted to toss out a drive configuration I am thinking about buying.
sata 6gb
1: 180GB SSD (os/apps)
2: 180GB SSD (media/projects)
3: 180GB SSD (page/cache)
4. 180GB SSD (preview/exports)
sata 3gb
5: 1TB - storage
6: 1TB - backup
I have about $850 in this config and just not sure if its a waste? I just want speed, budget is somewhat important, but whatever makes sense. raid, not to raid...?
the rest of the system is maxed, 32gb ram, hot cpu, quadro 6000 etc...
Just haven't built in awhile and the hard drive config has my head spinning... I want to buy tomorrow, so reply away! haha

Agree, they are small, but here is my reason... This machine will only be used to edit. Typically for a single project at a time. I'm a freelance, one man band ;) and I usually only have one thing going on. So, I thought if I had fast working drives, and then off load those on the TB drive (or externals) when complete, then I have clean "working" drives for the next project.
I shoot single and multicam canon dslr, so the footage isn't crazy big.
But I'm all for building a raid with some raptor or blacks of it makes more sense. Again, just want no bottle neck on drives.

Why is the Insert Panel Missing from Dw CS6 Build 12 v 5861?

Why is the Insert Panel Missing from Dw CS6 Build 12 v 5861?

If Nancy's advice doesn't make it pop up as a window, you may have it set as a tool bar, in which case, hitting Ctrl+F2 will make the tool bar appear/disappear.
To turn it back into a floating panel, click and drag the dashed line on the far left of the Insert tool bar and pull it away from the top. You can leave it as free floating or drag it to another edge until it highlights the edge and drop it to dock it to whichever side of the screen you prefer.

CS6 METADATA QUESTIONS

CS6 METADATA QUESTIONS
Working with record album saved in a wave format, on a computer running windows 7
I break the album into individual songs using markers which I name the title of each song, I check the include metadata box when I export each marker to individual file. In the ID3 metadata I enter the artist , album name, recording date, and genre. In the xmp under riff I enter the album name under product. Before I save each marker to a separate file.
The information that shows up in windows explorer is the file name, album name, and contributing artists. Unless you enter a space after the information entered in the metadata columns, such as album name, windows cuts off the last letter. Is this a windows problem or a CS6 problem?
Is there somewhere in the metadata that you can enter the track no. so it will show up in windows explorer track no. column?
3.Is there anyway to have the marker names entered into the id3 title column and the xmp/rff name columns.?
After the markers have been saved as individual files , windows explorer has the file name, album name ,and artist. I then open each individual song file and copy the file name into the ID3 title column and the xmp/rff name column, add the track no. in the id3 track no column ,and hit file save . At this point windows explorer no longer shows any information but the file name. In order to get the title, album name, and artist to show up in windows I have to hit file “save as” and then save it again as the same file name. Why? Am I doing something wrong?
After I get the information in the metadata of the individual songs saved in a wave format. I then save a copy in the mp3 format . Even though the id3 information is in the meta data of the songs saved in a wave format when I save a copy in the mp3 format the information is no longer available, Why? Is there a way to convert a wave file with id3 information to an mp3 without having to re enter it all again?
Is there another low loss format that would handle the metadata better and allow it to show up when converted to mp3?
Is there a more detailed help article on metadata standards?

I've been doing some workflow rehearsals with Pl and Pr (Still more to try out) and I have shifted my thinking a bit on how to use these two programs together in the most useful way.
I have started thinking of Prelude as the "Turbocharged" version of Premiere's Project window, bins, browser and metadata panel. If you start to think of Pl as a break-out companion, and use the two in conjunction, I think it can make for a very powerful combo.
I know that it has been suggested to only flow in one direction - use Pl first and then switch over to Pr, but since Pl's capabilities for marking, adding and searching for metadata is stronger, i have been going back and forth a lot.
In your example above, you can mark your comment (marker) sections in Pl and send over the clips you are interested in. If you find you need more clips or a different "Answer1", pop back to Pl and do a search, find the clip, and send over to Pr. It's like going back to the well for more media only when you need it. The search is much better over at Pl (in my opinion)
There are still a lot of new features I would add to Pl to make it more robust, but for now it is working well as my Clip org and Search in place of the meager abilities in Pr.

How can I create a new Question thread?

How to create a new "Question Thread" regarding the account payment ?

Hello MotionBoy,
There are two ways to go about creating a new thread to run a step. The first is to create a new sequence, into which you put the LabVIEW step you want to run and any other steps that may go along with it. Then use a sequence call step to call this newly created sequence. Set the Execution Options of the Sequence call step to 'Use New Thread.' This will allow you to run a set of steps in a new thread, not just a VI. The second method, which is only available for a LabVIEW VI, is to use the “Run VI Asynchronously” step. This can be accessed if you right-click within your sequence and select Insert Step » LabVIEW Utility » Run VI Asynchronously. This step will allow you to call a VI and have it automatically open in a new thread. You can further customize this step by opening the configuration menu in the Step Settings.
To address the current behavior of your steps I would like to know if the modules in steps 1 & 2 pass data between them or it would be desirable for them to do so? If so you are going to need a more complex synchronization structure such as TestStand/LabVIEW queues. There is a simple example you may want to look at in the TestStand examples, under the Synchronization folder that demonstrates how to use queues. Otherwise the above solution should be all you need.

"Common" questions thread/board/whatever

I have been seeing so many repeat questions lately that really are very common. How to update control values programmatically and how to pass data between parallel loops to name the two I see most.
I have a suggestion that we create a common questions thread that is put together with links to common forum questions. This can be a sticky, or maybe force it to come up at the beginning of every search no matter the key words put in. I'm obviously open to other suggestions and I'm posting this because there would need to be other things resolved (can all members post to the thread or just NI staff so we avoid follow up questions? Which links to common question responses would be added to the thread? How do we determine the BEST answers? etc.) However, I think it would be a nice place to point users to, rather than to have to go dig up an old thread and point the users to it ourselves, when it's really what they should have looked for in the first place. We could just post a link to the "common questions thread"
This would save ben from posting his AE nugget link (which he probably has memorized) every day, or people repeatedly posting "try a producer-consumer queued state machine - see NI template that is included with LabVIEW"...and the list goes on.
Any comments on how to implement this, or why it's just a bad idea in general?

TAGS have the potential of codifying YOUR expertise in such a way that a novice can stand on your foundation.

Ben, good plug for tagging - there's one problem though. You're by far the most diligent tagger, but most of your tags are hyphenated or underscored on the compound words. For instance, if I search for "Converting array to cluster", I'm guessing the search engine would not return the result that you have tagged "ConvertingArray-to-Cluster". Or am I wrong here - does the search engine throw out the hyphens and underscores?

The search
engine is smart enough to ignore
underscores. So by constructing tags using an underscore between key
words let you create a connection between them.
All tags
(a text string delimited by spaces before and after) are counted and a
connection made when they are included for the same post.
So
by
constructing hierachial names and grouping them in a sinlge post you
create structure that if repeated, will create your own outline.

Another color management question

Hi folks,
Apologies for yet another color management question, but Im getting very confused and could do with some help. I use a Canon 10D and Canon 30D. Ive come to LightRoom from Pixmantec Raw Shooter.
As Ive gotten more serious about producing high quality images for both the web and as prints, I thought Id invest in the Colorvision Spyder2 calibration product. So my monitor is now calibrated (quite a difference from what I was seeing!) and I have a calibration profile applied.
My needs are pretty obvious I want my images to look the same wherever theyre viewed including exported files (such as JPEGs) whether this be on my monitor (in LightRoom, a web browser, Paint Shop Pro, whatever) and on a printer.
Perhaps Im getting confused because Im trying to compare what LightRoom does with what RawShooter does.
In RawShooter, when exporting from RAW to JPEG, I can specify the RGB Working Space Im using and then select my monitor profile. I think that what happens is that the export mechanism takes this profile into account and, low and behold, the JPEG looks fine when viewed in any web browser - the colours are exactly the same as in RawShooter. In Paint Shop Pro they look fine too unless I enable Color Management in which case (Im guessing) the monitor profile is, essentially, applied twice! But the upshot is I seem to get the results I want.
What I cant figure out is how I do this in LightRoom. I can make the same adjustments to the RAW image as I did in RawShooter, but there doesnt seem an option for me to select my profile on export to JPEG only the standard 3 color spaces. Anyway the result is a JPEG that looks somewhat different when viewed in a web browser, or Paint Shop Pro with Color Management turned off. However, if I turn Color Management on in Paint Shop Pro, then it looks fine. So Im assuming that my profile isnt accounted for when exporting JPEGs from LightRoom.
So any pointers or explanations would be really appreciated. I also acknowledge that this is my first foray into color management, and feel free to tell me to go and read some introductory article (link please!) and then come back with a sensible question if thats whats needed!
Thanks in advance.

Lightroom color management.
a.) Monitor profile used: The profile set as the default in your operating system (e.g. Windows xp). (your monitor profile software usually does this when you calibrate/profile your monitor).
b.) Working space: ProPhotoRGB
c.) Export color space: You can choose one of the following sRGB; Adobe RGB or Pro Photo RGB.
There is no option (afaik) to change a.) or b.) the option you choose in c.) will affect how the exported image will be displayed in color managed applications or non-color managed applications.
Non-color managed applications are not able to display Adobe RGB or Pro Photo RGB correctly. I guess if you wish a consistent display of your images in color managed and non-color managed applications then the only common factor is sRGB and you should export your images in sRGB color space.
The benefits of the other expanded color spaces are in printing and you also would have to get this end of your color management correct. Printing profiles to match your printer and each paper being used etc.
Until you can get this all sorted out you will get better results from sRGB, this is also applicable when using most commercial printing services.

Why my question thread is locked?

I found that my question thread is locked, why?
Hi Guys,
Here are two questions about ABAP.
(1)
UML provides various diagram types. Mark the valid UML diagrams
(More than one answer is correct)
1 Aggregation
2 Composition
3 Class
4 Component
5 Behavior
I think the correct answers are (1) (2) (3). But the standard answers are (3)(4)(5).
Why?
(2)
Mark the valid logical nodes.
(More than one answer is correct)
1 Node
2 Table
3 Structure
4 Complex Data Object
5 File
The standard answers are (2) (3) (4). Can anybody explain it in details?
Thanks.
Edited by: Michael on Jan 29, 2008 3:36 PM

Hi Micheal,
The answer for the first question is:
1)
Firstly Aggregation & Composition are types of relationships and they are part of an UML Diagram used to connect the various classes/parts of that specific diagram.
They are not the actual diagrams
The remainig three options
Class,
Component &
Behavioural are the UML Diagrams, which contain the various classes,components, packages etc.
Hence the options 3,4,5 are correct.
The UML Diagrams are categorized as
Structural and Behavioural Diagrams.
Under Structural Diagrams
Class Diagram
Object Diagram
Component Diagram
Deployment Diagram
Under Behavioral Diagrams
Use Case Diagram
Sequence Diagram
Collaboration Diagram
Statechart Diagram
Activity Diagram
If you are still not clear then please go through the below link which clearly shows the various relations existing and about the UML Diagrams.

Re: another build question! (sorry lol)

Hi all
right, after days and days of researching all the excellent articles on here ive had to write a post! So apologies for going over old ground
Im going to build a new CS5.5 rig (having had a guts full of Apple and their FCPX fiasco its back to pc!)
so although i appreciate the 990x o'c is prob best option, bang for buck is leading me down the sandybridge i7 2600k o'c option on p67 mobo with 16gb of ram (option to take to 32 down the line when the chips are out)
anyway, im sorted on chip mobo (msi big bang marshal p67), nivida 570 etc , its the drives im struggling on!! Im edit avchd video and some after effects, small amount of 3d, and in FCP i always transcoded everything to prores. Now on cs5.5 it looks like real time performance is possible with high end hardwear.
So mobo, ram, and chip aside, my HDD config im unsure on, ive not really got the cash to go crazy with raid controllors etc, but understand need for seperate drives, etc and tbh might even go downt he cineform route as a prores alternative (prob avoiding hassles of drive speed with avchd)
im thinking as the SSD's are now dropping in price and the ocz are producing these 500 mb r/w speed sata 6 120gb drives for a reasonable price, would 3 of these drives (one for os, one for media , one for scracth disk ) be a good set up or is it a waste of cash and should i raid 0 from bios/mobo?
I appreicate that 120 gb drives for media etc are small, but i would take project media from another much large backup drive and just use the 3x ssd set up as working disks for editing & os? once project over, clear out drives to larger back up and start new project!
Its either that or i go SSD as bootdrive, but some sort of cheap raid set up for my scratch disk, media drives? prob is if i do that, from what ive read (brain dead now) i would be best off with 2 x raid 0 as scratch disk and orginal media respectively when workign with avchd
HOWEVER, on my mobo there are only 4 sata 6 ports, so if i use one for ssd boot drive, and then im left with 3 x sata 6 ports and another 4 x sata 3 ports to raid on? how does this work? any point in getting the sata 6 drives as one would be stripped with a sata 6 drive plugged into a sata 3 port (this was my reasoning behind using 3 small sata 6 ssd's plugged to the sata 6 ports and rest of sata 3 ports as storage and backups!
confused lol!! I just want the overclocked sandybridge system with decent gpu card, as much ram as possible at present, but im thinking my bottleneck will be in the HDD config! any suggestions are much appreicated! im not that techy so whilst have read all the articles am more confused now (plus normally a mac user, so its out of the box configuration usually!) for what its worth looking to purchase something from scan uk in terms of parts! total build cost including a reasonable screen £2,000
many thanks

You have a limited budget, especially in the UK, but then don't we all?
Going for the 980X will triple the cost of the CPU, but even when editing AVCHD material the gains are not sizable enough IMO to justify that cost differential. Add to that you will need 24 GB instead of 16 GB and that carries an additional price tag. Both factors will easily move you out of budget range if you want to have a number of disks and possibly a raid controller.
Did you read my article To Raid or not to Raid, that is the question. It can be found under the Overview tab at the top of the page? (Currently responding from abroad on my notebook and not having the bookmarks available for easy linking). http://forums.adobe.com/thread/525263
With media and projects I would advise against a raid0, because of the lack of redundancy. For pagefile, media cache and previews (scratch disks) raid0 is quite OK. They will be recreated if needed. The performance gain from a raid0 for media and projects over a parity raid is easily offset by the time spent on making backups. For parity raids do not use WD Caviar Blacks, but look at the Hitachi 7K3000 line of disks.
The question of Sandy Bridge versus the old X58 platform is essentially one of 'which limitations are acceptable to me'.
The Sandy Bridge is a great processor and at least the equal to the old i7-9xx quad cores. However, the platform, the chipset, has its shortcomings in terms of PCIe lanes. Whether that is relevant to you, only you can decide. But hey, we would be in serious trouble if Intel did not manage some progress in two years time from the i7-920 to the i7-2600K. So of course the i7-2600K shows much more potential than the almost retired 920, it is the chipset for the Sandy Bridge that is 'flawed' in comparison to the X58, but that is no surprise, since the Sandy Bridge is a 'middle-of-the-road' platform and the X58 was a 'high performance' platform.
BFTB-wise I think that within your budget limits, you should look at the i7-2600K, but with the best disk setup you can afford.

Stable updates to Dreamweaver CS6 build 5842 (Was: Simple Questions)

I'm using creative suite 6 design & web premiun. Question: Using Dreamweaver cs6 version 12.0 build 5842 and I'm wondering if there are any version updates I need to do and if they are stable? I see updates 12.0.1 and 12.0.2 and 12.03 listed and see there have been issues. Question: Are these now clean for updating and do you need to install all of them or just the newest update?. Question: I do updates within dreamweaver but wondering if these are separate stand alone updates?

There are several versions of DW CS6 for perpetual license holders & Cloud subscribers.
Perpetual Licensed 12.0 was the ORIGINAL release. 2 subsequent updates, 12.01 and 12.02, were made available to fix some early bugs. In my experience, they were both stable. If you don't have them already, get the last update 12.02 in DW's Help menu, by clicking on Updates.
Additional CS6 updates were made available to Cloud subscribers only: 12.1 & 12.2. These included some significant changes to the interface. Among them, changes to the Insert Menu with the removal of some features and the addition of others. See link below for details.

Another CS6 Worksation Build Proposal for review and comment

Hi All,
I've put together the following video editing system build after reading this forum for many months and would really appreciate any feedback or comments. Of particular interest are comments on the hard disk setup, location of the media cache and connection speed and disk size allocation. I'm trying to put together a fast, stable, easily managed system from a file management perspective for home video editing using CS6. Video Editing will be the primary task for this workstation but it will also be the main desktop PC in the house for other general computing purposes.

( 2 x 6gb SATA connections )
F Drive:
Backup
2 X 3TB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM HDD ( RAID 1 )
( 2 x 3gb SATA connection )
I chose the ASROCK Extreme 11 due to the number of SATA3 ports. I haven't found any other 2011 socket mb's with the amount of SATA ports I require. Any alternatives recommended ?
My understanding is that HDD's wont benefit from a 6gb SATA3 connection so there is no point using these ports for any HDD - is this correct ?
I have viewed Todd's 'Optimizing Hard Disk Video' where he puts the Media Cache on the C drive. Where would you recommend the Media Cache be placed ?
My intention is to backup everything from both D & E RAID 0 volumes to F drive. I note some systems and recommendations have the exports being written directly to the larger, slower backup HDD but doesn't this mean the export takes longer to write ? I am assuming I am better off writing out my export file to a fast SDD and then backing up to my F: HDD later.
Any comments on the size of my E drive for Preview, Export, Media Cache...would 2 x 256gb drives in RAID 0 be adequate, considering I'm using this drive purely as temporary storage.
I also acknowledge that the C drive at 512gb may be overkill but I'd rather not run out of space there, especially if I need to use that drive for the pagefile and media cache or anything else recommended.
I look forward to reading your comments and suggestions and really appreciate any feedback / alternatives suggested.
Kind Regards
Martin.

Hi Harm,
Thanks for the feedback - very much appreciated.
The reason I chose the 1600mhz sticks instead of 2133mhz was because of stability fears, not because of price.
Also, I don't think I have seen any 64gb memory kits running at 2133mhz ?
If you think using the 2133mhz memory is worthwhile and stable, and gives a valuable performance boost I will consider that upgrade.
The GSkill 1600mhz is 1.5 volts and I have read concerns on this forum about using that voltage.
I'd really appreciate any suggestions from anyone about what 64gb 2133 mhz memory kit to purchase that is stable and runs well with an ASrock Extreme 11 motherboard and the 3930k processor.
As per other posts on this forum regarding memory, I'd rather have more memory over faster memory, hence why I am going for 64gb straight away.
As to the C drive size, I'll consider scaling that back to 256gb
Thanks again for reviewing and taking the time to comment.
Cheers Martin.

Another RAM preview question. CS6

Hello everyone! I am currently working in After Effects on a video that uses an evaporation effect. When I use the RAM preview function only about 200-250 frames load out of 1200. At this point After Effects stops loading a RAM preview and just plays the few seconds of video it has loaded. I am trying to watch the entire 12 seconds of the evaporation effect.
I then tried to use footage that has no effects added to it, and the same thing is happening. I recently cleaned my disk cache, and this problem started happening. I feel like that is a coincedence though.
This problem was not happening a few weeks ago and after searching the forums I have not been able to find a solution that worked. Thank you for any helpful responses you can give.

such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,

Yes, another computer build but with a specific purpose.

Firstly, I thankyou if you have even opened this thread. Forgive me if my question seems innane!
I am planning a new computer build for the following purpose
PS CS6 - working files at 2GB plus
Premiere CS6*
*My video work is very specific. Projects are atypically less than 5 mins in duration and often 30sec TVC type spots.
Source material is AVCHD, PNG and in near future uncompressed files from the Blackmagic Cinema Camera (10bit)
Final output is to be broadcast HD quality at top end and many at web level via YouTube.
I try to be 'tidy' in my editing and keep track numbers to 4 (if that makes any difference?)
I am not the most tech savvy guy by a long shot, compared to Bill and Harm I'd be luck to rate .2 on the richter scale.
My thoughts thus far are this:
Full tower
3690 proc
64GB of ram
MOBO? Not sure if to wait for 'Blunderbolt'
****Numerous HDD's as required
GTX680
Win 7 64
****So the question I know will roll your eyes! Mother look away now... This may get ugly!
Given the short durations and 10bit source, can I avoid RAID? I know enough that a few layers of 10bit must be a huge amount of data (back to no other way than raid) but wondering how it compares to different intensive compressed codecs such as AVCHD? Should I put on my tin foil hat and hide?
I would really appreciate your thoughts.

I do not know enough to answer your question regarding RAID. However, I did notice that you wanted to get an i7-3960 CPU. I may not be a guru but from my experience with the i7-3930 and what I have read since those processors came out, there is not enough of a difference between the two chips to make up for the price difference. I'll even risk to say that you'd be paying an extra $500 just for bragging rights. The i7-3930 is just as good, just clocked a bit lower and has 3 megs less L3 cache. Once you overclock the 3930, it basically performs just as well as its much more expensive brother.
Save money on your CPU and put it somewhere else where it will make more of a difference to your system.

Report Builder Question: Printing PO's from E-Business Suite - POXPRPOL

I'm hoping there's someone who has the time to help me: We are using Report Builder 9, Oracle 9i, and E-Business Suite 11.5.10.
I am a new developer using Oracle, and need to make some changes to the seeded (default) POXPRPOL (Purchase Order Print - Landscape) report, using Report Builder.
I have two problems:
1. When I print PO Releases from E-Business Suite, and specify I want releases 1 through 2, I get those fine, but the first page is my "Purchase Agreement". The question is: Is there any way (programatically or otherwise) to say "When the "Release" fields are filled out, don't include the Purchase Agreement?
2. Somehow, after making a few changes to the POXPRPOL report, my quantity has disappeared. Is there any suggestions on how this could happen? I look at the query where they are using "POL.QUANTITY_TO_PRINT" for the working and the non-working reports, and they look identical.
I'm hoping DESPERATELY that someone can help me - I'm really in a bind...
Thanks!
Steve

Srini,
Thanks so much for your reply!!!
1. Ok, but how do I hide a whole page? I noticed the conditional formatting, but I want to "not print" a whole page when this page is a "Purchase Agreement".
2. I've checked the source - it's coming from POL.QUANTITY_TO_PRINT - POL is a view that is unpopulated. I assume it's populated at run-time. So now I am trying to track down where it's populated, but can't find that in report builder. The quantity is being taken into account, because I put a total at the bottom of the page, and that number matches price * pol.quantity_to_print. Very strange...
Finally, here's another question, if you don't mind:
3. When I print a purchase order that is set up as a blanket, as I mentioned before, I get my "Purchase Agreement" first, and then one (or more) pages per release. But the "Page Number" on each is "1" because each is a one-page PO. But my "total pages" is "3", so each page reads "Page 1 of 3". Any idea if there's a way around that?
Thanks again! Hoping you have some more insight! :)
Cheers!
Steve
