Blend tool problems with distributing objects.

Hi Everyone,
First time here so I hope this is the appropriate forum locale for this specific question - of which I have not found a solution online or in these forums.
I have dealt with this problem for quite some time and am sick of manually correcting blends so I am seeking help.
Here is the situation:
I draw a simple oval, copy it and move it somewhat diagonally across the page. I then resize the oval slightly (thinner) but retain the same amount of anchor points.
I then rotate the oval about 2 degrees.
Next I apply a blend - hoping it will blend the two shapes evenly (like it did in pre CS versions) but the blended ovals get closer to each other on one side than the other - so it seems to be a weighting problem... so I checked out each of the blend options and even tried the various methods of making a blend (via panel, or pull down menu, hot keys, etc.) Nothing works to get the shapes evenly spaced. Distribution and alignment panel offers no help either and in some cases makes the objects distribute more unevenly.
Summary: If I make two IDENTICAL shapes/ovals, the blend works fine... but once I modify one of the ovals, before or after the blend is made, even in the slightest bit, the distribution spacing gets skewed/uneven.
I don't think it is a bug since I've had this problem since early CS days. Is anyone else having this problem?
I hope it is an easy fix. I am using a PC version of Illustrator, if that matters in this case.
Thank you ahead of time for your consideration and help.

I've tried all those options (distribute spacing, distribute objects, specified distance, specified steps, etc) without success... it wound up just being the 'ol visual issue described above and the manner in which I set up my illustration.
So after I create a blend, I try the various options to get the objects to align / distribute correctly (to fix the visual issue), but after, say, applying "distribute spacing", the ovals arc slightly so that they are not aligned in a straight manner from end to end.
I then try other alignment options and nothing seemed to correct the alignment from one oval to the next... thus I had to correct it manually.
Anyways, I found that if I set up my illustration so as to do my oval blends on a horizontal or vertical axis (without transforming one side, but keeping them all the same - in a grid-like pattern) and then Free Transform the group of ovals afterwards to indicate perspective and the like -- that seems to be a reasonable solution.
I also learned a new trick in this process / forum post.
I won't be able to reply for a while... All is well now and I gotta get to work, so it's literally back to the drawing board for me.
Thanks again! =)

Problem with distributing hotfix

Hello to everybody!!
have a problem with distributing packets *.msu(hotfix). I run it with command wusa.exe nameofhotfix.msu /quiet /norestart
And it is not install in computers. I give an error
The program for advertisement "SRV2000D" failed ("SRV00014" - "Windows6.1-KB2459530"). A failure exit code of -2145124329 was returned. User context: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Possible cause: Systems Management Server (SMS) determines
status for each program it executes. If SMS cannot find or correlate any installation status Management Information Format (MIF) files for the program, it uses the program's exit code to determine status. An exit code of -2145124329 is considered a failure.
Solution: For more information on the exit code, refer to the documentation for the program you are distributing.
I search with error code -2145124329 in internet. But cannt find any usefull information
how to solve this problem. Please help

Hi,
to analyse further;
Run CALC.exe, place CALC into "Programmer" mode (View, Programmer)
Set CALC.exe into "Dec" mode (Decimal)
Paste the decimal value: -2145124329
Click "Hex" (the conveted result is shown: FFFFFFFF80240017)
Open cmtrace tool
Press CTRL+L (open error lookup utility)
Paste converted Hex value (remove the leading FFFFFFFF)
Click "Lookup" button (error lookup result is displayed)
Operation was not performed because there are no applicable updates.

This all suggests that the update file you are trying to apply, is not needed/is not applicable to the computer under examination. There are various possible reasons for this outcome;
a) the update has previously been applied
b) the underlying product does not exist on this machine, so that patch cannot be applied
c) a pre-requisite update is missing
d) the patch cannot be applied, as the OS version or architecture is wrong/mismatched
e) probably more, but these are the reasons I have observed so far.
You should check or test, either before attempting to apply this patch, or, check for this resultcode, and take the desired action (fail, or, ignore, or send an alert,or whatever you wish to see happen)

What is the problem with converting objects with gradients to gradient mesh?

What is the problem with converting objects with gradients to gradient mesh?

slange,
There may arise some smaller corruption states that may be cured by what you did, as you can see in the list. Sometimes, restarting thrice is needed.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Laptop mode tools problem with kernel 3.0

today I just updated the system and my laptop runs dramatically hotter after that. I read the archwiki, it does talk about the laptop mode tools problem with kernel 3.0 but when I opened the file /usr/sbin/laptop_mode, the lines which the wiki mentions are not there. Does anyone here have the same problem and can you offer the solution?
Here is my /usr/sbin/laptop_mode
#! /bin/sh
# Script to start or stop laptop_mode, and to control various settings of the
# kernel, hardware etc. that influence power consumption.
# This script is a part of Laptop Mode Tools. If you are running a supported
# power management daemon, this script will be automatically called on power
# state change.
# Configure laptop mode tools in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf, and in
# the broken-out config files in /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d.
# Please consult the manual pages laptop-mode.conf(8) and laptop_mode(8) for
# additional information.

# This is a 2 phase locking approach. LMT_REQ_LOCK is the outer lock and LMT_INVOC_LOCK is the inner lock
# We take this approach to ensure the scenario that, "At any point when an event occurs (AC/BATT), the
# kernel can generate multiple events spanning over a couple of events. The first event is honored and
# lmt executes. If the last event triggered at the 9th second, there is a fair chance that a good amount
# of state change would have occured in the OS, to honor that state, we keep an outer lock (LMT_REQ_LOCK)
# handy, so that those changes can also be applied and not forgotten.
# Workflow:
# Event-1 is generated and lmt executes (lmt runtime could span 5-10 seconds)
# At seventh second, 4 events generate. But Event-1 is still running.
# We don't want to discard all the remaining 4 events, but at least honor 1 so that we can act to the changes
# that occured in the last 7 seconds.
# So, Event-2 acquire LMT_REQ_LOCK and waits to acquire LMT_INVOC_LOCK (which is acquire by Event-1)

I had the problem but edited the line in /usr/sbin/laptop_mode and it worked. But thoes lines are not there anymore. I guess they changed it at the recent update of laptop-mode-tools.
Regarding your heat problem; is there any other thing you use to cut down power usage (from AUR maybe)? I use acpi_call from AUR had to edit lines there aswell, but it should be updated by now.

Problem with embedded objects

Hi,
I have problem with embedded objects which contained embedded objects.
When I create an Object in the persistent memory and commit this object I get the following error:
ORA-22805: cannot insert NULL object into object tables or nested tables
In the constructor of my persisten object I create the embedded members in the transient memory:
ATestPersObj::ATestPersObj() : m_count(0), m_lang(NULL), m_cost(NULL) {
m_lang = new AEnumLanguage_OraType();
m_cost = new AAmount_OraType();
}Or when I dereference a reference I get this error:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kokeicadd2], [16], [5], [], [], [], [], []
Can somebody give me a hint?

Hi,
I have problem with embedded objects which contained embedded objects.
When I create an Object in the persistent memory and commit this object I get the following error:
ORA-22805: cannot insert NULL object into object tables or nested tables
In the constructor of my persisten object I create the embedded members in the transient memory:
ATestPersObj::ATestPersObj() : m_count(0), m_lang(NULL), m_cost(NULL) {
m_lang = new AEnumLanguage_OraType();
m_cost = new AAmount_OraType();
}Or when I dereference a reference I get this error:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kokeicadd2], [16], [5], [], [], [], [], []
Can somebody give me a hint?
I've defined the following Type:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE AENUM_ORATYPE AS OBJECT (
                         VALUE NUMBER(10,0)
                       ) NOT FINAL ;

Problem with inherited Objects

Hi,
I have a problem with inherited objects inside Flex using
wsdl as the source of the object. The AS-classes are generated
inside Flex Builder 3.
Inside the wsdl I have 2 complex types:
<complexType abstract="true" name="PersistentObject">
<sequence>
<element name="id" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
<element name="insertTimeStamp" nillable="true"
type="xsd:dateTime"/>
<element name="insertUsername" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string"/>
<element name="updateTimeStamp" nillable="true"
type="xsd:dateTime"/>
<element name="updateUsername" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
and
<complexType name="Contact">
<complexContent>
<extension base="tns3:PersistentObject">
<sequence>
<element name="birthday" nillable="true"
type="xsd:dateTime"/>
<element name="firstName" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string"/>
<element name="lastName" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string"/>
<element name="middleName" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string"/>
<element name="newPassword" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string"/>
<element name="password" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string"/>
<element name="title" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string"/>
<element name="username" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string"/>
</sequence>
</extension>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
The classes in actionscript seem plausable:
public class PersistentObject
* Constructor, initializes the type class
public function PersistentObject() {}
public var id:String;
public var insertTimeStamp:Date;
public var insertUsername:String;
public var updateTimeStamp:Date;
public var updateUsername:String;
and
public class Contact extends PersistentObject
* Constructor, initializes the type class
public function Contact() {}
public var birthday:Date;
public var firstName:String;
public var lastName:String;
public var middleName:String;
public var newPassword:String;
public var password:String;
public var title:String;
public var username:String;
When I want to retreive an object of type Contact, it seems
that only a couple of entries are filled. While debugging the flex
XMLDecoder, I noticed something strange. It seems, like the decoder
is expecting the result xml data to be in alphabetical order:
birthday, firstname, lastname, etc. But since the object is
inherited, the data that is actually received contains elements
from the parent class: birthday, firstname, id, inserttimestamp,
The resulting object has just birthday and firstname filled,
which is somehow wrong. This seems to be a problem inside the
parser itself. What can I do?

I am having a problem with an extended class as well.
When I step through the code, everything is going fine and the decoder (mx.rpc.xml::XMLDecoder) sees that the class is an extension and wants to get the values for the superclass first. When it gets into getApplicableValues(), it's looking for the values to be in the order of the definition which would be ok if the values collection didn't include the values from the subclass as well! It goes through the whole definition and doesn't find anything for the superclass because the values aren't where it expects them. When it pops back up to the subclass and starts to decode those values, it finds them because the definition order and values order match.
Is this a known issue? Or, am I misunderstanding something?
Thanks,
Chuck

Problem with shared objects synchoronization.

I encountered a small problem with shared objects.
I'm working on a program that creates chat rooms of a fixed
size of 30 users. When the 31th user comes, a new room is created.
The idea is that the client first connects to the first room
and checks if it's full by connecting to shared objects. If it is
full, connection is closed and process is reapeated on a new
instance of the application.
I use a function to connect to an instance, which takes as a
parameter a number (1 for instance room_1, 2 for room_2, etc). The
function itself creates the necessary Netconnection and
sharedObject objects.
If a room is full, Netconnections and sharedObjects are
closed and function is called again with another number.
I have no problem for connecting to the first room, but after
closing the first connection and connecting to the new room, there
seem to be some problems with the shared objects (especially,
OnSync doesn't seem to execute again after the connection to the
shared objects of the new instance).
I was wondering if you had any ideas what could cause this.
Is it the use of the same variable names for connecting at two
different shared objects?
Here is the function :
function initStreams(room) {
client_nc = new NetConnection();
client_nc.connect("rtmp://192.168.0.4/Elearning/room_"+room);
in_ns = new NetStream(client_nc);
in_ns2 = new NetStream(client_nc);
Replay_video.attachVideo(in_ns);
out_ns = new NetStream(client_nc);
out_ns2 = new NetStream(client_nc);
in_ns.play("my_recorded_stream");
users_name = SharedObject.getRemote("users_name",
_root.client_nc.uri, false);
users_name.connect(_root.client_nc);
users_language = SharedObject.getRemote("users_language",
_root.client_nc.uri, false);
users_language.connect(_root.client_nc);
users_picture = SharedObject.getRemote("users_picture",
_root.client_nc.uri, false);
users_picture.connect(_root.client_nc);
users_finger = SharedObject.getRemote("users_finger",
_root.client_nc.uri, false);
users_finger.connect(_root.client_nc);
I you need more info, I can post more of the code on the
forum.
Any help would be really appreciated

I don't see any onStatus events in the code you posted above.
If you're defining the onstatus event outside the function, that's
the problem. When you define the shared object, you also need to
define it's onStatus event handler.
Also, you really should wait for the onStatus event of the
netConnection before you connect your sharedObjects. If you try to
connect the SO before the netConnection is established, the SO will
never connect.

[BO 4.0 Client Tools] Problems with using Translation Manager

I have Installed SAP BO 4.0 with SP 2 on a Windows 2008 R2 Server with a MS SQL Server 2008 R2 as repository Server.
I have patched the Server with the SP4 for BO. I have installed the Client tools with the same Patchlevel (SP 4) on the same Server.
The Java - Installation is the Installation from SAP BO 4.0
Now I try to use the "Translation Management Tool"
Login with a BO - Administrator and Enterprise authentification.
Next Step ist to load an object from the repository.
This ends with an error Message: java.lang.Exception: initInstance failed. -2
And now? I have no idea.
Who can Help?

Hello Mister Makmerphy,
it seems, that the higher memory limit solved the problem.
I made it in some steps and now I have a memory limit with 3 Gbyte.
And with a last step I've added the last 4 parameters.
But now I have the Problem:
"This server is considered failed because it has stopped 5 time(s) in 60 minute(s)."
And the actuall status is "failed"
Where can I reset this counter.
Waiting another hour to restart doesn't help
System Reboot doesn't help.
Where can I reset this counter or this timer.

Problem With Business Object and printing job

Hello,
We are encountering a problem with the application "Business Objects FINANCE", and we would need your help quickly.
In the application , itu2019s impossible to print Consolidated Subsidiaries nor the Securities Held. If we try so, the application freezes and we can't do anything but killing the application via the task manager.
Though, other states can be printed without problem.
We tried on several different PCs, and the problem occured equally on each one.
The version installed is 10.5, and we can do any tests that you think would be useful to diagnose problem.
Our society is AUBAY SA, and our credential to enter in your support website are : S0005386617
In attachment youu2019ll find a screenshot of the event viewer from the server where the application is install.
Thanks in advance for your answer,
best regards.

check the export parameters of the event triggering workflow.
If there is a problem, try instantiating the object in your wf based on the key.
Also check if the wf is able to import the data.

Problem with Business object attributes in UWL Workitem description

Hi All,
I have developed a workflow which sends the workitem for two level approvals. Once the workflow is triggered workitem sent to the respective user for approval. When user opens the workitem in inbox he can see all the data which comes from the 'Z' Business object in R/3 and he can approve the same. Everything works fine when this process happens in R/3 system.
The problem comes when user opens this workitem in UWL or this workitem is sent to user mail ID executing 'SWN_SELSEN' report, all the attributes of the business object are displayed in the workitem description except 2 . These are the Minimum annual salary(GRMIN) and Maximum annual salary(GRMAX) fields from 'T510N' table.
Regards,
Vaishali.
Edited by: vaishali rautray on Dec 24, 2008 7:52 AM

Hi Saumya,
Thanks for the quick reply.
For storing the Minimum and maximum annual salary values I have created two attributes in the business object which are referring to database fields. T510N is a customizing table. I could see the values for the same, if I test the Business Object or Trigger the w/f in R/3 and check the approval work item in R/3. These values disappears only in case of web interfacing i.e. If I send the same work item to outlook mail or check it in UWL.
I had checked the same and thought if there is any problem with BO or some other processing takes place before these values are retrieved. But I wonder why this happens only if I process the work item outside R/3 system?
Regards,
Vaishali.

Problem with Persistent Object as Reference Attribute of Persistent Object

Hello All,
I have a problem with a persistent class that contains a reference attribute to another persistent class. I can write the reference object attribute to the DB but when I read the reference attribute back from the DB the object is null. Allow me to explain...
I have two tables; one is a data table with one key field of type OS_GUID, the second is a mapping table with several business key fields and two further fields; an instance GUID and a class identifier GUID. The data table is used to contain all the data for an object. The mapping table is used to hold a relationship between the GUID assigned in the data table and the business key. The mapping table has been structured in this way by following the help here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/df/e785a9e87111d4b2eb0050dadfb92b/frameset.htm
and the field mapping in persistent class for the mapping table has been mapped following the help here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/06/f23c33638d11d4966d00a0c94260a5/frameset.htm
The code I use to create entries in the data and mapping table is:
<-snip->
DATA:
    gv_blank_data_guid TYPE REF TO zcl_ps_data,
    gv_data_guid       TYPE        os_guid,
    go_data_ps         TYPE REF TO zcl_ps_data,
    go_data_agent      TYPE REF TO zca_ps_data,
    go_data_map_ps     TYPE REF TO zcl_ps_data_map,
    go_data_map_agent TYPE REF TO zca_ps_data_map,
    go_exc             TYPE REF TO cx_root.
go_data_agent = zca_ps_data=>agent.
go_data_map_agent = zca_ps_data_map=>agent.
TRY.
Check if there's already data with the business key on the DB
      go_data_map_ps = go_data_map_agent->get_persistent(
                         i_data_ref     = iv_data_ref
                         i_action       = iv_action ).
... if there is then exit.
      EXIT.
    CATCH cx_root INTO go_exc.
ENDTRY.
TRY.
Create the data...
      go_data_ps = go_data_agent->create_persistent(
                       i_root_guid = gv_blank_data_guid
                       i_req_date = iv_req_date ).
      TRY.
... finally, write the new data to the data business key map table
          go_data_map_ps = go_data_map_agent->create_persistent(
                             i_data_ref     = iv_data_ref
                             i_action       = iv_action
                             i_data_guid    = go_data_ps ).    "note1
        CATCH cx_root INTO go_exc.
      ENDTRY.
    CATCH cx_os_object_not_found.
ENDTRY.
COMMIT WORK.
<-snip->
The fact that it is possible to pass the object GO_DATA_PS in the call to GO_DATA_MAP_AGENT (the line that I've put the comment "note1" on) indicates to me that the reference to the data persistent object can be written to the DB by the mapping persistent object. After executing the above code the mapping table object and class identifier fields are populated. Also, if multiple entries are written to the tables then the class identifier field in the mapping table is always the same and the object ID is different as expected.
However, the problem I have is if I read an object from the DB using the business key with the following code:
<-snip->
DATA:
    gv_req_date        type        datum,
    gv_data_guid       TYPE        os_guid,
    go_data_ps         TYPE REF TO zcl_ps_data,
    go_data_agent      TYPE REF TO zca_ps_data,
    go_data_map_ps     TYPE REF TO zcl_ps_data_map,
    go_data_map_agent TYPE REF TO zca_ps_data_map,
    go_exc             TYPE REF TO cx_root.
go_data_agent = zca_ps_data=>agent.
go_data_map_agent = zca_ps_data_map=>agent.
TRY.
Read data mapping with the business key
      go_data_map_ps = go_data_map_agent->get_persistent(
                         i_data_ref     = iv_data_ref
                         i_action       = iv_action ).
... then read the data.
      TRY.
          CALL METHOD go_data_map_ps->get_data_guid
            RECEIVING
              result = go_data_ps.
        CATCH cx_os_object_not_found.
      ENDTRY.
    CATCH cx_root INTO go_exc.
ENDTRY.
<-snip->
At no point during this code are the attributes of the object of the persistent class for the data table populated with the contents of the fields of the data table referenced as the attribute of the mapping table. To clarify, when viewing the object in the debugger all the attributes of the mapping object that are simple table fields are populated with the values of the fields of in the mapping table, however, the attributes of the object that represents the persistent class for the data table are not populated with the fields of the data table. I had hoped that by reading the mapping table object the data object would automatically be populated. Is there another step I need to perform to populate the data object?
I'm sorry if the above is hard to follow. Without being able to provide screenshots it's difficult to explain.
If someone has managed to store references to persistent objects in a table and then read the references back could you list the steps you went through to create the persistent classes and include the code that reads the objects please? The code I have almost works, I must be just missing some subtle point...
Thanks in advance,
Steve.

Hi Andrea,
The iObject being replicated at item level for Service Complaints is the SAP standard behaviour.
Generally we raise complaint refering to some sales or service issues. In your scenario you are trying to create a complaint based on an iObject, then you have to mention the corresponding product details. I dont see any business requirement not to copy the iObject product at the item level.
If you want it then I think only you have to write a Z program for it.
Hope this helps!

Chethan

Performance problem with recordset object

Hi,
I have a performance problem with record set object. Is it true using RecordSet object as argument to the method will cause any perfomance degradation?
here is my code.
finStmtList = selectFinancialStatements(rs, shortFormat, latestOnly, true);
I changed the code by populating the recordset in the method that called the above statement. previously the population of valueobject is within the select FinancialStatements.
Now the method looks like
finStmtList = selectFinancialStatements(ValueObject, shortFormat, latestOnly, true);
Is this fix will result in any performance gain?

Can any one suggest me that the above RecordSet Object contains large number of records that counts up to 1000 rows and having 30 columns? I tested the application. But the performance varies from time to time.
Is there any other way to fine tune it?

Javascript problem with "opener" object

Hello again,
In my quest to reuse some automatic generated bsp code to my own advantage, i encounter a problem with the javascript "opener" object.
I open a new window(win2) for a value help, this should return a value to the calling window(win1). It does so by calling a function in win1. My problem is that i get an error, stating that access to win1 is denied.
opener.focus() works: it sets focus on win1
so the opener object seems fine, pointing to the richt window
opener.functionWin1() does not work:
when i want to call a function from win1 i get the message "access denied", this also happens when i want for instance call a propertie of win1 with for example alert(opener.location);
Does anybody know if there is a special parameter i should set, before i can call functions on the opener page? Or has anybody encountered the same pronlem?
Kind regards,
Martijn de Jong.

If you want to set a input field value from a value help page you can write a JS function in the value help page itself, which will take of populating the field in the root page.
See this example script:
<head>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
          function fun()
               s=window.opener;
               txt=s.document.getElementById("<input filed id of the parent page>");
               if ( document.form1.row_sel1.value )
               txt.value = document.form1.row_sel1.value;
               window.close();
    </script>
</head>
