Automate Action overriding export step

I have recorded a set of actions that I am automating for a few images. At the end I recorded the export and close steps (I records Save For Web - PNG 24 settings). The issue is that the script overrides each image once it's saved.
How can I run the image editing part of the script, and then insure that each file is being exported seperatly with a different name? Should I have not recorded the export part of the script?

thanks. I just tried that and it's still using the "test.jpg" name I give the recorded sample and then overwrites all automated images.
Do I need to run an image process Action and then run a Save As Action afterwards?
It looks like under File > Batch... that the files will be given a different 'starting Serial #' to differentiate.
Under my Save recorded action I have:
As: JPEG
Quality: 9
Matte: none
In: file name.test.jpg
This makes each image get replaced, how can I correct that?

I am unable to create an Action to Export from .ai to .psd. The OPEN and EXPORT steps in the Action

I am unable to create an Action to Export from .ai to .psd.
The steps in the Action such as Open and Export seem inextricably linked to the file from which the original Action was recorded.
The steps in the Action do not seem to be generalized commands that I can apply to any folder of .ai files.

I'd recommend to exactly describe what you're doing. How did you set up your action? Which settings did you choose in the Batch Process dialog? What exactly went wrong? What did you expect instead?
Whatever issues you're suffering from, there is no way to provide a hasty answer and no way to give an elaborate answer without knowing the details.

Per-Signature SigEvent count since reset
Sig 60000.0 = 1
Yes, single signature fired, but the number of "Preliminary Stage Alerts" was 60 !? What happened with other 59 alerts ???

Only when the alert has at least one action will it be passed to the event action handler.
So the other 59 alerts did not have any event action. Either no action was added directly from the signature definition, or the alerting type actions were removed because of summarization, or the actions were removed by filters.
There are several signatures that are intentionally created without actions. These signatures are what we call meta component signatures. On their own they don't mean much and so we remove all actions and they do not generate alerts into the eventstore. They trigger internally in sensorApp but do not get written to the eventstore. These alerts are internally monitored by Meta signatures. When multiple component signatures are triggered, then a Meta signature may trigger and it is the Meta signature that would have a produce-alert event action and be written to the eventStore.
With summarization the signature has a produce-alert action, but the summarizer routines see that the signature is being triggered multiple times with same addresses. The summarizer will allow through an alert on the first triggering. Later triggerings with the same address set will cause the summarizer to automatically remove the produce-alert action (and other alert causing actions). So the summarized alerts will not get written to the eventStore.
NOTE: In your output this happened for at least 43 of these alerts.
Filters may also be matching the alerts, and the filters may be removing the event actions.
So if the event actions have all be removed (or none were ever added), then the alert will not be passed to the event action handler.
In your output only 1 of the 60 alerts wound up with any actions needing to be executed.

Releasing transport request has an error during the 'export' step.

Hello Everyone,
My environment is ERP 6.0 EHP6, AIX 6.3, Oracle 11g.
We have a transport request that was created in our development system by deleting some obsolete roles. When we try to release the transport request to our q/a system it terminates with errors in the export step.
The errors are.
   End of export R3TRTABUUSR10
   no E071K or E071K_STR entries found for R3TRTABUUSR11
   Start export R3TRTABUUSR12 ...
   no E071K or E071K_STR entries found for R3TRTABUUSR13
Of course we cannot create a new transport request because the roles were deleted.
Can someone please explain to me what could have cause this type of error and possibly how to resolve it?
Regards,
Ron

Hi Ron,
As per your log, no E071K or E071K_STR entries found forR3TRTABUUSR11
no E071K or E071K_STR entries found for R3TRTABUUSR1
Looks like there is no entry found for E071K or E071K_STR in table USR11 and USR13.
Please check those table and make sure the above entries are there, if not that could be the issues.
Also, please check if these tables (USR10, USR11, USR12 USR13) are active in SE14.
Thanks

Hi,
we also had faced the same issue,
for this, first we need to run table scripts for creating BOM tables in ur source. U have look into the BI Apps configuration guide for more details.
If ur schema in which u r creating the table is not apps. In DAC, goto tools->seed data->Actions->table actions and select the task 'OPI Truncate table" and click on the value corresponding to that action and change the schema name and trigger the load.

Automate actions in ACS 5

Hello,
I wanted to know how to automate actions in ACS 5. In many areas of the UI, we can either create new entries or import many entries with csv files. I wanted to know if it is possible to automate these actions such that the ACS, at regular basis, automatically import new and updated csv files. This will allow to keep the ACS synchronized with other database or files generated by other tools.
Is there a way to script on ACS to do that ?
Thanks a lot,
David

Hi David,
Unfortunately as far as I know this is know possible. I checked the programming guide, and it seems mac addresses in end station filters is not an object that is importable:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.1/sdk/cli_imp_exp.html#wp1060859
The only option I see here is to make a pseudo web client which would interact with ACS thru HTTP, but this could be a bit long to develop.

By publishing this workflow, conditions and actions inside Impersonation steps will run using your credentials

In a SharePoint 2010 workflow that accesses a custom list, I am getting the following warning message before I publish the workflow to the SharePoint test server:
"By publishing this workflow, conditions, and actions inside impersonation steps will run with your credentials".
The only step in this SharePoint 2010 workflow is the impersonate step.
Thus would you tell me what I can do to have the workflow run under different credentials?

Hi,
As the warning says, any actions within Impersonation step would be carried out under your credentials if you published the workflow. If you intended to just add a Step in the workflow, then use different icon that says Step (with down arrow). Impersonation
step is used to modify the permissions on the item.
Once you have this, the workflow will be executing under the credentials of whoever starts it. Hope it helps.

Free Automatic Duck .AAF export plug-in not compatible w/After Effects 6.5?

Greetings,
There is a free export/import module for FCP that Automatic Duck produces for Apple that lets you export your time line as an AAF sequence. As most of you know, the AAF sequence can be imported in to After Effects and other programs that support AAF, and all of the cuts are in place exactly where they are in the exported FCP sequence. For those of you who do not know the plug-in can be found at the following address, " http://images.apple.com/movies/us/downloads/AutomaticDuckAAF.dmg.sit "
There is still an issue when importing a FCP produced AAF sequence into After Effects 6.5. Does any one know of a go around or solution to this problem?
I spend extensive time searching the film/video web community to find the answer, to no avail!!! I do not believe I am doing anything out of skew to cause the problem, but I will explain the steps that I am taking. First, I take a sequence in FCP that is CUTS ONLY, and with the sequence (timeline) itself active or selected (and not in the browser window) I go to the "file" menu -> "export" -> "Automatic Duck AAF". I save the sequence and it is parsed by the plug-in. Then in After Effect 6.5, I import the AAF sequence. Every-time, every way I have tried, I get an error in After effects that says, " After Effects: AEGF Plugin AAF: Error during parsing: Invalid document structure (5027 12) " and "Error occurred while creating project"
I really need a solution to this problem, because I have a cut that all green screen and of course is is not consistent. Exporting a QT reference is going to be a pain, so I need to get this working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I own approximately half of Automatic Duck.

Action batch export issue with image trace

So, currently I'm working on batch processing jpeg sequences using illustrator's image trace and distortion effects. I have batch exported the image traces of the sequences via Adobe bridge. Now I'm trying to create an action which opens the .ai files containing those image traces, apply a graphic style to the trace, and export a png from that. I'm banging my head against the wall trying to get this to work right now. If I do the steps (step by step... not using a recorded action) I want on a single file, it works great, but the moment I batch export using the action I've created, it puts the original .png image that the image trace was linked to, on top of the image. The result is a bunch of .png exports that look exactly like my original image sequence. If I add a "save" function to the action and open the resulting .ai files, I can see that the image trace vectors are in the file. The "linked png" however visible on the layer above those vectors. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? How do I get rid of that pesky linked image.
Also, for anyone who might be thinking that it has something to do with expanding the image trace before applying effects, this issue I'm running into, I've determined, is happening higher up in the hierarchy of the actions... If I simply make an action to open the image trace illustrator file and save it back out, the same issue occurs... placing the .png "linked file" on top of the vector image.
While I'm at it, I might as well ask if anyone knows how to change the illustrator default image trace preset.... Without being able to change it, or much less specify in the action sequence that I'd like to use a user created image trace preset rather than the default setting, it's greatly overcomplicating my workflow. Makes what could easily be one-step batch processing into two. Seems pretty silly if you ask me.
Please, if you guys have any insights on this, let me know. It's super frustrating... By the way, if you're wondering what type of effect I'm going for, the idea (as well as some explanation into their own process) starts at 12:44 of this video (http://vimeo.com/77427470).
THANKS!

Just wanted to let you guys know, for anyone who might be having my same issue... My home computer, even after a fresh install of Illustrator, was still placing the linked jpeg over the traced vector shapes when batch exporting... I did however find a workaround. Rather than using Bridge CS6 for the batch image tracing, I used Bridge CS5 to trace in Illustrator CS5. Then, I used Illustrator CS6 to batch export an action that imported and applied an effect to those image traced sequences. When you do this, it forces you to expand the tracing on import (because of the difference in Illustrator versions I'm assuming). This way, when you batch run the action, it's already working with expanded vector shapes. Not sure why this works, but it does.
Also, I was having some issues getting Illustrator to apply the graphic style when batch exporting. I got it to work by copying an object with that particular graphic style to the clipboard, then adding in the action I was running a "paste" command, followed by a "clear" command. I can only assume that Illustrator was having issues loading custom graphics styles while batch exporting. The paste/delete technique is annoying, but gets it done.
Anyways. Just wanted to check in on this one. I'm happy I was able to muscle my way through it all.

Override Export File Name

Hi Everyone,
I have a question which I cannot see being asked in the forum yet.
I'd like to override the standard behaviour of exporting files to the target system by loading an once exported file again if the POV has not been validated since the last target data load. This is to speed up batch loading (we load 1500 POVs every night to Essbase). As such I need to overwrite the name of the export files as they are not unique and file names may be used more than one time for different POVs.
Is there any way to do this in an action script? I can see that strFile occurs as a parameter in the function calls for BefExportToDat, ActExport etc. I was not able to find an API function for this purpose yet and manipulating tPOVPartition.PartLastExpFile for the location was not doing the trick as this entry is overriden in the background after export.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hauke

Wayne,
Thank you for your answer. You lead me into the right direction. Obviously, something was going horribly wrong when I tested the manipulated export script for the first time. This caused FDM to overwrite export files during batch and made me believe that the file names are not uniquely exported for all POVs.
For anyone interested, FDM is keeping the export filenames unique for all POVs as long as historical export data files exist in the Outbox folder. When you clear the Outbox folder, file names are reused in different POVs during export. You may query the last file which was exported for any POV in the tDataArchive table in FDM.
I am querying this table instead of tLogActivity now and move the file which was exported last for the respective POV and the filename has not been reused by another POV (due to clearing Outbox) afterwards to the filename which is created by FDM before exporting. This is speeding up the export batch to run in one fourth of the time compared to the original export behaviour as the database is not queried for all these files.
Best regards,
Hauke

Automatic Workflow for Exporting

Hi all. I am a teacher who has to write lesson plans. Because I work in a PC district and use pages to write my plans, every week I have to do the same thing 3 times (once for each class):
1. Type the plans in pages
2. Click share in the menu bar
3. Click export
4. Choose desktop as the location
5. Choose pdf as the format
6. click save (since I use the same name as the pages file I don't have to change that)
All this clicking drives me crazy. There has to be some way to automate this. Perhaps with an applescript or something? What I want is something like a button or selection in the menu bar that will do steps 2-6 above automatically without any input from me. Any suggestions? BTW...I have no experience with applescript but am a basic/proficient Java programmer and am willing to learn.

It may be a good idea to go to my idisk:
<http://idisk.me.com/koenigyvan-Public?view=web>
and download:

I upgraded from firefox 3.6 to 4.0. Now have to plug in all user name & passworgs to every website that asks me for it. Used to be automatic. Need a step by step to resolve it. Can you help ?

Upgrade from firefox 3.6 to 4.0.
Every website that have my username & password asks me for this info. before letting me in.
Need a step by step solution for this.
Thanks.

I, too had my book marks disappear when I upgraded to FF 4.0
I am now back and enjoying FF 3.6.17 (my original) yet I am still
without my book marks and am floundering trying to recoup.
Any help appreciated. If unable to see my book marks in the near
future I will definitely jump ship. It's too bad that FF people have
created this problem. I am mystified and disgusted with their actions.

Adding a Lightroom action to Export Actions folder

Despite endless monitor calibration with Spyder, my prints from Mpix come out much darker than they appear on my Intel iMac monitor (running OSX 10.5.5). I have tried using Shades to darken my monitor, but I don't like my screen looking that dark all the time, and I am afraid if it is not on all the time I will forget to use it when photo-editing. I am considering leaving Shades off and adding an action to my export preset for printing that would increase the brightness in Lightroom 2.1 by a certain amount. I know I could use a Photoshop droplet to do the same thing, but Lightroom will already be open, so I'd prefer to do it in Lightroom. How would I go about creating this action? I think I know where it goes once I've created it, but I don't see any menu item or subject in the Help files for how to create one. I'd appreciate any available help. Thanks

You should try using their icc profiles.
Apparently, they will send their profiles if you ask for it as others have been having the same issues with Mpix. I you have LR 2, you can export directly to these icc profiles. Also, make sure that you calibrate to a reasonable brightness of around 100-120 cd/m2, which is usually around 2/3 of the brightness scale on most monitors. These intel iMacs have very bright screens and might need even lower settings.

Action on checklist step

Hi there
I am having some trouble with actions on certain checklist steps. For example I have a checklist, where when I complete one step a new one open. When the step open, I want the responsible person to get an email.
I have no trouble getting it to work on the Service Request level, when changing status, but on the checklist it will not work.
Does anyone have some hints, links to documentation about it or something else that could be helpfull?
Kindly Regards
Nicolai

Hi Nicolai,
did you get it work - I am currently having the same Problem when assigning an Action to a checklist step. The Action is not triggered for the respectiv step.
Thanks
