Autonumber setting overwritten

I have over 100 tables in an oracle database where each of them has a corresponding sequence generator. For each of the physical services corresponding to these tables, I have gone to the trouble of setting the autonumber property so that the corresponding sequence generator gets "fired". (thank you to Igor for this guidance). My problem is: When I update my metadata (whenever there is a database change), these properties in the physical layer get "wiped" clean. What tricks are there out there that can be used to keep this from happening? Is there a batch utilitiy that can be run so that if a table is called "foo", the the sequnce "foo_seq" gets associated with it in the corresponding physical data service (as an autonumber property)?
Thanks in advance.
SCott

Please open an enhancement request. Be sure to ask for both of
1) When databases tables are imported, that autogenerated columns are detected and the appropriate metadata is created (this may not be possible as the jdbc metadata may not provide sufficient information); and
2) When database metadata is updated, that user-modified information be preserved. This gets a little tricky as your database modification might involve removing the autogenerated aspect of those columns, thus keeping the autogenerated metadata would be incorrect. Hopefully (1) is possible.

Pass form element value after insert

I have a page with an insert behaivor, it inserts all form
elements BUT one,
I need to pass the value of this form element to the next
page.
If I apply the 'insert' behaivor, it does the insert well,
but the value of
the form element is not passed to the next page, how can this
be accomplised
Aleks

I can't because the value is entered in the form and there is
no value until
it is posted. Remember this is an 'insert page' that then
redirects to the
next page.
I used redirection as:
<%
' *** Insert Record and retrieve autonumber: set variables
If (CStr(Request("MM_insert")) <> "") Then
MM_editConnection = MM_eimmigration_STRING
TM_editTable = "dbo.Users"
TM_editRedirectUrl =
"SPLinkFamilymember.asp?FamUserId=Request('relations')"
Last line has the redirection link.
but didnt work, I get following error, next page I get this
value:
Request('relations')
Instead of the actual value selected in the form.
I am using ASP/VB and MS SQL 2000

Wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 when trying to start HTTP Server

Oracle11gR1 Database on OEL 5 64bit with Oracle10gR3 (10.1.3.3.0) Application Server
I have finished installing Oracle Application Server and in the end it fails to bring up HTTP Server. I checked the logs and saw the following:
/opt/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/http_1/ohs/bin/apachectl startssl: execing httpd
/opt/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/http_1/ohs/bin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libgdbm.so.2: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
I am thinking that it could be a 32bit vs. 64bit libraries. I have tried to create some links but still no luck. Below are the current links that I have in the /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 directories.
1. /usr/lib
# ls -al libgdbm*

Thank you.

My OEL 5 also had the gdbm package installed, but only the 64bit version.
I've installed the i386 version also and now it works.
To check to which dynamic libraries a binary will use you issue the command ldd <binary>
Then you could check to which he will be linked.
Be aware that library resolving could be influenced by environment variables which will sometime also be set(overwritten) by the calling script.

"Space Before" Paragraph after Page Break

Hello,
Here is what I am observing : the "Space Before" setting for paragraph styles is ignored if the paragraph is placed after a page break or on a disconnected page. How do I force InDesign to honour my "Space Before" setting ?
I give you an example : I've created a paragraph style called "Big Title". I've applied this style to section titles and to the index title. I want to lower "Big Title" a few centimeters from the page top, but my "Space Before" setting is ignored. What to do ?

You can force space above a paragraph by creating a non-printing character in the first line of the paragraph, or above it. Two possibilities:
* Add a reference-page frame above paragraph to the paragraph format, using the Advanced panel of the paragraph designer.
* Add autonumbering to the paragraph. Set the autonumber format character to a thin space. Create a character format for the autonumber; set its point size tall enough to create the space above. This has the gotcha of indenting the first line by the width of the thin space.
For either of these solutions, check that the space above setting for the format doesn't upset your workaround; if necessary, change the space above to let the workaround manage it.

How do I set the conversion settings for Word to ignore outline autonumbering for headings?

I have a user manual in Word that uses outline autonumbering for Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. For example, "1.0 Introduction," "1.1 System Settings" and so on).
I know when setting the conversion settings for FrameMaker, you can select the Ignore Autonumber option in the Conversion Settings dialog to keep only the paragraph content. I don't see anything like this for the Word Conversion Settings. Does this capability exist?

To clarify:
I have my paragraphs in Word set up with the required numbering properties using Word's Style settings. In Word, I want the headings to be numbered 1.0, 1.1, 1.1.1, etc. because the intent is for the reader to read through the manual like a book - from start to finish.
I'm single-sourcing my manual from Word into RoboHelp to generate an online help package. However, I do not want my RoboHelp headings to be numbered because the user may or may not read each topic in order (in other words, they may only need to read what's in section 3.2, but won't get there by reading sections 1.0 through 3.1 first). I might also clarify that each heading is its own topic - so Section 3.2 would be a separate topic from 3.0 and 3.1.
So for example, in Word, it reads like this:
     "1.0 Introduction
     [content goes here]
     1.1 System Requirements
     [content goes here]
     1.2 References
     [content goes here]"
And in RoboHelp, I want it like this
     "Introduction
     [content goes here]"
     ---[end of topic]---
     "System Requirements
     [content goes here]"
     ---[end of topic]---
     "References
     [content goes here]"
     ---[end of topic]---
Does that make sense?
So how do I keep the numbering in my Word document, but set up the Conversion Settings in RoboHelp to ignore those numbers and only include the text following the autonumber? I have been able to do this when single-sourcing a FrameMaker book into RoboHelp.

A setting in visual administrator gets overwritten when a developer publish

Hello
Due to problems with logon groups a SAP consultant told me to uncheck "Add Application Cookie" and "Add Session Cookie" in Visual Administrator -> Cluster -> Server -> Services -> Web Container -> sap.com/home~[my app] -> View -> Main -> "Cookie Configuration". This works fine and solves that problem but instead I get a new one. Every time a developer publish something my setting gets overwritten and I need to uncheck it again, save and then restart the j2ee engine again to make it work.
I can not get in touch with this consultant again (he don't answer any email) and not anyone on my company knows how to set it permanent so I hope any of you know how to set this permanently so I don't have to do this every time a developer does something new.
I use NW 7.0 with patchlevel 109044.44 on HP-UX with IA64. I have the same problem on every server.
Thank you in advance!
Br Linus Hellsing

Hello again
We have solved this problem thanks to an employee at my company. The problem was that we didnt have any file called web-j2ee-engine.xml so we created this and set a couple of options in the developers program and then it worked.

Rpd set in NQSConfig.INI before server starts is overwritten while startup

hi gurus
I set a Abc.rpd in NQSConfig.INI before i startup server but after startup SampleAppLite.rpd is shown in Analysis/NQSConfig.INI :(
any inputs will help?
thank you...

thanks for your inputs....
my bad....I should've spelled the details better....
after trying the EM->deployment route, despite showing the Name_BI0001.rpd in EM screen, after bouncing services, Analysis failed to pick up my desired rpd but showed the default samplelite.rpd...
so I thought of doing it differently , as in edit the .ini file to see if it picks up but as i said it failed to read from .ini instead overwrote the .ini with ssamplelite.rpd

SAP Memory, Set and Get parameter

Hi All,
     I am running two programs in background from program1
Eq: Program1 --> Calls 2 programs
                          Program1_01.(First Program)
                          Program2_01(Second Program).
Programs1 schedules Program1_01 and Program1_02 in background. These two programs are interdependent.
Program1_01 extracts data, evaluates and sets the Flag. This Flag is exported to SAP Memory using
Set parameter id 'p_id_flag' field Flag.
Program1_02 checks for Program1_01 is completed in background. If complted gets the Flag value from SAP Memory using "Get paramter id 'p_id_flag' field Flag.
When i checked this is not happning. When saw Flag in Program1_01 is set as Flag = 'X'.
When I came and checked in Program1_02 after Get Parameter statement Falg value is SPACE.
Cn hlp on this?

Hi,
The problem simply lies in fact that pid was provided in lowercase.
Use:
SET PARAMETER ID 'P_ID_FLAG' FIELD flag.
GET PARAMETER ID 'P_ID_FLAG' FIELD flag.
It works fine then.
Note!
Though SAP claims it is mandatory to create pid in TPARA table, in fact this is not required. Each time SET PARAMETER is executed, system checks if data object P_ID_FLAG was defined in SAP memory. If not it will automatically create it for us. But be carefull here. If there is such data object, its value will be overwritten.
As for your last question, your statement (FREE MEMORY ....) is ok.
Regards
Marcin

How to set the parameter ID value for a range

I am trying to call transaction KSB1 (Display actual line items for cost center) by supplying all the default values for the selection options/parameters and skipping the selection screen from the calling program. However, for the cost center range, both HIGH and LOW field have the same PID (i.e. KOS). Same thing for the cost element range. When I set the value for PID "KOS", only the low value got populated.
I tried to pass a BDC table to the
CALL TRANSACTION 'KSB1' USING bdc_tab
, but the PID used before takes higher priority so the bdc_tab values got overwritten by the PID values for those fields.
Does anybody know how to find or set the PID for a selection range? I need PID for Cost center range, cost element range and the period (PID="VPE").
Any advice is appreicated. Thank you
Minami

otherwise try to make use of SUBMIT command.
<b>Hi Preetahm ,
KSB1 is a Report , not a Tcode to maintain master data or any thing like that ?, u can also cross check?</b>
by using SUBMIT command u have to <b>RKAEP000</b> this program along with the selection screen.

How can I use an old XMP file on a new set of images??

I’m pretty sure Adobe NEVER intended for someone to copy an XMP file from one photo to another outside of LR as a way to replicate settings.   You can make a preset from a photo, as discussed, or if you don’t want to do that, copy-paste the settings from a representative photo that you initially select to one or more new photos. You could have a special LR folder that holds standard photos to copy/paste from. Of course creating a Develop preset from the representative photo is the “normal” way to handle such situations, but maybe you have hundreds of different situations to copy settings from and don’t want to create presets for each one, but I’d argue that you could create a complex folder hierarchy for your presets and still have them findable without that much problem.
As far as the mystery about why some photos show Reset and some show From Metadata, is the Process Version (down in Camera Calibration) of the photo before reading the settings the same between the two situations? And in general, are these virgin photos newly imported into LR or have some been modified in LR, already? Does an XMP file already exist for any of these, where that XMP is being overwritten by your external-to-LR copying? Or do you have auto-write-XMP enabled and your hand-copied XMP is getting overwritten by LR, automatically, before you have a chance to read in anything?

How can I set up password-protected Guest account

Hi everyone
I need to set up password-protected guest account. The aim is to get:
a) an account with password. So only authorized person can use it.
b) all changes in this account should be overwritten at log-off, just like Guest account behaves.
So I need either to find a way to set password for Guest, either create a 'normal' account and somehow automate it self-cleaning at logoff.
I tried to run terminal and use
sudo su
passwd Guest
[entering password 123]
Afterwards I can't login as Guest at all. System doesn't ask for a password, nor logs me in.
Thx for any help

This question was asked 2 years ago and still hasn't been answered.
If there is not a way to add a password to guest account, what is the script that get's executed when the Guest account log's off? I can execute that on an account that I create called 'localGuest' or something like that.
I have an enterprising member of my family who has figured out that my computer is exempt from the network curfew and they are using Guest to bypass that. I have since disabled guest; however, I do like using the fresh guest environment to test software development.

Can you change a story or text frame's index? (re autonumbering)

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the index of a text frame or story without changing the actual visual layout of an InDesign document? So far all I can come up with is to cut the frame and repaste it into the document. You can move a story within the index list of a document, but that visually cuts and pastes the story text.
actDoc.stories.item(1).move(LocationOptions.BEFORE, actDoc.stories.item(0));
I can't see any method to change the index of a text frame (other than cutting and repasting).
I want to put together some tests. I have a bunch of questions. Each question is a single story in a single text frame in an InDesign document. The text frame is linked to an InCopy document. The first paragraph of the question has a "QuestionNumber" style but the para style has no numbering. I want to have only one version of each question (the InCopy story) but to put the questions into different tests in different orders with different numbering. What I do is to create an InDesign template for the tests that has a QuestionNumber para style that includes autonumbering with the "Continue Numbers across Stories" option checked. This works beautifully and the questions are numbered in the order in which the text frames (and stories) are (via a script) copied from the question document and pasted into the test paper document. When the same question/story/textframe is used in two tests it is numbered in the order in which it is pasted into each test paper (but the original stays the same because it has no numbering).
The next step would be to be able to reorder the question numbers within the test paper (if you wanted to, say, swap questions 18 and 20). To do that you have to change the index of the story because the autonumbering across stories seems to depend on the index of the story.
What seems to happen is that stories are indexed in the order in which they are pasted into a document, but text frames are indexed in the opposite order. If you paste a text frame with one story into a new document, it is textframe.item(0) and story.item(0). If you then paste a second one into the document it is story.item(1) but textframe.item(0). The first text frame becomes textframe.item(1). When you cut a text frame and repaste it, it is reindexed as if you were pasting it for the first time.
The autonumbering also seems to be segregated by page. If you have questions 1 and 2 on page 1 and questions 3 and 4 on page 2, you can move around the text frames for 1 and 2 on the page but the numbering stays the same. Likewise for 3 and 4. If you drag 3 across to page 1 it stays as 3 but if you drag question 4 across to page 1 it becomes 3, and the original question 3 on page 2 becomes question 4. It is confusing but makes sense in a weird way once you get the hang of it.
Anyway, I have probably answered my own question and the best way to renumber the questions in a test is to run the script again and create a new document using a new question order.
But any other ideas are welcome.
Thanks.

hi Brian
which version of InDesign you have ?
I have checked these steps on CS3 and CS4:
first I've set ON to option in preferences to preserve links when placing
then I've placed DOC file as AnchoredTF in new Story
then I've copied this AnchoredTF and pasted it on page, and then I've pasted it as another AnchoredTF - each time there was new lick created to the same DOC file
then I've set OFF to option in preferences to preserve links when placing
and even when I again copied and pasted this AnchoredTF with placed DOC file - it still add new link on Links palette
so maybe with InCopy stories there is next bug or next "feature" ...
[edit]
ok - I've checked InCopy file - after exporting TextFrame as InCopy Story
and it's like you've said - pasting on page - new link is created - pasting as Anchored - link isn't created ... no matter if option in preferences is set or not ...
verdict - we've found new bug
BUT ... if you link it again - by CTRL+D method - link is preserved even if option in preferences is set to off so you can have more than one InCopy Story placed as AnchoredTF in same parent Story ...

How to Insert more than one record at a time- with fixed set of values in one field

Can someone guide as to how to insert multiple records at a time using ASP VBScript in Dreamweaver CS4 or ADDT.
If someone can guide then the exact problem is given below.
I have a MS access database with one table. The table has three fields. The first field is an autonumber field for ID number.
The second field contains string values- One out of 7 predefined values. One set of records consists of 7 records containing all the seven types of predefined values in fields no 1.
The third field is a numeric field and can contain integers.
I want that the user can enter data for the table using an ASP form in such a way that he enters one set of records at a time in one single screen. This way he will not have to remember that he has /has not entered all the seven set of values for the field no 1.
I am not creating fields with the 7 types of field1value as their names as it will increase the number of fields drastically.
Please help for dreamweaver ASP VBScript.

I have successfully inserted seven records in one form submit operation by looping through the command object execute method.
However, the data that is being inserted by the command object is repetition of the first record and the command object is not taking any data from the text boxes for the second record onwards. In this I had used the isert record behavious generated by DW CS4 and modified it to suit my requirement. However, the data inserted in the first row is getting repeated in all the seven rows.
Please help.
Also advise if there are any free dreamweaver server side validation extensions available.

Using a session object to hold the value of a record set?

Hi,
I'm trying to hold the value of a record set (or literally the content of a column in a query in a db) in a session variable so that I can call on this later and insert into another table.
I'm not sure of the correct syntax, I've already made a connection to the DB. I'm trying the following but it doesnt seem to like the code:
<% session.setAttribute("code",rs("column_name")); %>
<%String attrib =
String.valueOf ( session.getAttribute("code")); %>
Hello <%= attrib %>
Any ideas, I dont know how to reference the record set, I declared the recordset previously as rs. Help! Can't find examples anywhere on the net!

So just to recap. I appear to be seeing the column name "custorderno" within the Microsoft Access query "lastcust". But I get "no data found" when I run the following code (which I have sectioned off)
<!-- connect to database and lastcust query --!>
<%
try{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver").newInstance();
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=C:/Tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31/webapps/ROOT/Oatcake.mdb","","");
Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT * FROM lastcust";
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(sql);
while (rs.next()) {
%>
<TR><TD><%= rs.getString("custorderno") %></TD>
</TR>
<% session.setAttribute("code",rs.getString("custorderno")); %>
<% String attrib =
String.valueOf ( session.getAttribute("code") ); %>
Hello <%= attrib %> [B]
<%
%>
</TABLE>
<%
if (statement != null)
statement.close();
if (conn != null)
conn.close();
catch (Exception e) {out.print(e);}
%>
</BODY>
</HTML>
No as mentioned I am (as you can see) declaring everything as a string when in actual fact the contents of the "custorderno" within the query is set to a autonumber within MS Access.
The while loop does work by returning the contents but the session object part is not working correctly with the following result returned:
[B]java.sql.SQLException: No Data Found
Help please!

How to set the value of an array element (not the complete array) by using a reference?

My situation is that I have an array of clusters on the front panel. Each element is used for a particular test setup, so if the array size is three, it means we have three identical test setups that can be used. The cluster contains two string controls and a button: 'device ID' string, 'start' button and 'status' string.
In order to keep the diagrams simple, I would like to use a reference to the array as input into a subvi. This subvi will then modify a particular element in the array (i.e. set the 'status' string).
The first problem I encounter is that I can not select an array element to write to by using the reference. I have tried setting the 'Selection s
tart[]' and 'Selection size[]' properties and then querying the 'Array element' to get the proper element.
If I do this, the VI always seems to write to the element which the user has selected (i.e. the element that contains the cursor) instead of the one I am trying to select. I also have not found any other possible use for the 'Selection' properties, so I wonder if I am doing something wrong.
Of course I can use the 'value' property to get all elements, and then use the replace array element with an index value, but this defeats the purpose of leaving all other elements untouched.
I had hoped to use this method specifically to avoid overwriting other array elements (such as happens with the replace array element) because the user might be modifying the second array element while I want to modify the first.
My current solution is to split the array into two arrays: one control and one indicator (I guess that's really how it should be done ;-) but I'd still like to know ho
w to change a single element in an array without affecting the others by using a reference in case I can use it elsewhere.

It isn't possible to get a reference to a particular element within an
array. There is only one reference to the one control that represents
all elements in the array.
While it may seem better to use references to update
an element within
an array, it shouldn't really be necessary, and it can also lead to
race conditions. If you write to an element that has the
possibility of the user changing, whether you write with a local, a
reference, or any other means, there is a race condition between the
diagram and the user. LV will help with this to a certain extent,
especially for controls that take awhile to edit like ones that use
the keyboard. In these cases, if the user has already started entering
text, it will not be overwritten by the new value unless the key focus
is taken away from the control first. It is similar when moving a slider
or other value changes using the mouse. LV will write to the other values,
but will not rip the slider out of the user's hand.
To completely avoid race conditions, you can split the array into user
fields and indicators that are located underneath them. Or, if some
controls act as both, you can do like Excel. You don't directly type
into the cell. You choose w
hich cell to edit, but you modify another
location. When the edit is completed, it is incorporated into the
display so that it is never lost.
