CFContent fails with output from CFPDF???

I had a situation where I had to create a PDF containing a
dynamic cover sheet and supporting documents, which are in pdf
format. I used CFDocument to create the cover sheet, stored it in a
variable, then used cfpdf with cfpdfparam to specify that cover
sheet variable, then looped over the files. CFDump says that worked
correctly.
I then tried using cfcontent to display the resulting file. I
would have expected that to work. Intead it throws this:
Attribute validation error for tag cfcontent.
coldfusion.pdf.PDFDocWrapper is not a supported variable
type. The variable is expected to contain binary data.
The error occurred in
E:\WebRoot\www.missionincrease.com\wwwroot\active\Admin\MinistryGrants\fundingRequest.cfm :
line 99
97 :
98 : <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value='inline;
filename=#URLEncodedFormat("FundingRequest.pdf")#'>
99 : <cfcontent reset="yes" variable="#pdfOut#"
type="application/pdf">

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I am experiencing this same issue in our ECC 6.0 system.  We currently have ST-A/PI release 01M_ECC600 level 0001 applied to our system.  These jobs finish successfully in SM37, but I'm seeing the same error messages in our system logs (SM21).
When I try to update the output device that is associated with these jobs, the user ID running the jobs is not valid since it's user type is Communication Data.
Does anyone know if it ok to change the user for this job? Should it be run by DDIC?  I believe the jobs were created automatically when we applied ST-A/PI release 01M_ECC600 level 0001.

  • BPM_DATA_COLLECTION fails with (Output device "" not known) error

    Hi all,
    I have an issue with Output BPM_DATA_COLLECTION_1 job in the satellite system  failing with 'Output device "" not known error.  Since it is collecting data for Solution Manager system why does is it trying to find an output device.
    It did not fail before and now I added another key figure (custom one) which is done the same way the other custom monitors are done in "Z_BPM_ECU_COLLECTOR" report and then in /SSA/EXM program, but the collector job started to fail.
    Also, for some reason there are two BPM_DATA_COLLECTION jobs, one is BPM_DATA_COLLECTION_1 and the other is BPM_DATA_COLLECTION_2.  _1 runs every 5 min and _2 is less frequent. They both seem to runt the same job which is /SSA/EXS. Why are there two jobs scheduled from solution manager in my satellite system?
    Thank you very much for your help!

  • Problem Calling MaxDB stored procedure with output from MII Query template

    Hi,
    I am using Max DB Database studio to write stored procedure, I am calling stored procedure from MII Query using CALL statement.
    Can anyone guide me how to pass output values of stored procedure.
    Examlpe::
    call ProcName('[Param.1]','[Param.2]','[Param.3]','[Param.4]','[Param.5]', :isSuccess, :Trace)
    In the above line of code I am not able to get the output values of stored procedure that is isSuccess and Trace values in Query template when executed. But same thing I get when executed in Database studio.
    How do I call with outputs for any stored procedure in MII.
    Any help would be appriciated.
    Thanks,
    Padma

    My call statement is like this
    call RESULTDATA_INSERT('[Param.1]','[Param.2]','[Param.3]', :isSuccess, :Trace)
    I am able to insert record in DB, But I am not getting output values in Query template.I have done this in Fixed Query, when I execute it throws me "Fatal error as Loaded content empty".
    I tried giving select below call but it dont work.

  • Parametrized query with output from sql

    Hey all,
    has anyone figure out how to use the database connectivity toolset to perform a parameterized query with outputs (SQL)? From the other threads that i have read it would seem that this issue is not resolved. The error i get is:
    Error -2147467259 occurred at Cmd Execute.vi->getjobID.vi
    Possible reason(s):

    Your first approach gave you an error because it took the ? parameter inside the '%?%' string and treated it as whole string as '%?%'. As you set the parameter, it did not understood where it need to insert the parameter.
    Your second approach is pretty much OK, only problem is you are trying to set the parameter with a string and aging creating the string while setting the parameter.
    The solution will be to create the whole string before setting the parameter and set the created String as parameter on the query something like this.
    String parameter = "%"+searchString+"%";
    Then set the parameter string to the query.
    Thanks

  • Problem with output from  report to excel, calling the report from form 10g

    Hi everyone, I'm having a problem generating a excel from a report, which is called from a form, I'm using Forms 10g. The problem is this: My report has a variable number of columns. These columns appear according to data obtained from the database, these columns are dates, In vesion 6 excel file generated shows the columns one after another starting in column A1 to column CP. I mean that the dates are correlative. But in version 10g the excel file generated shows the same report starting in column A to column T, only shows the 20 dates correlative corresponding to this columns, the rest of the dates are down the excel sheet in groups of 20 dates, it's something, the file in 6i grows across and in 10g grows down the excel sheet. The report (rdf file) is the same in 6i and 10g, I compiled the 6i version to obtain the 10g version. The excel sheet generated in 10g looks like the report was in pdf format, because PDF format, cuts the report in pages and the file grows down, if I generate the report in PDF format it has the same structure excel file in 10g has. I hope yo can help because I have days trying to solve this but I have no succes. If someone could help I could email the excel files generated in two versions. Here I put the code I use to generate the files in 6i and 10g. I have tried with DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET in 10g but the result is the same. Thanks for your help. Greetings for all.

    There are two problems with your VI.  First, the basic logic of writing/appending to a file (Excel, TDMS, anything) should go something like this:  Open the file, position yourself at the end of the file, then, in the loop, acquire data and write it to the file until you are finished with data acquisition.  When you exit the acquire/write to file loop, then close the file.  In particular, the opening and the closing of the file should not be inside the loop.
    As others have pointed out, writing to Excel might not be optimal, particularly if you are acquiring data at a high rate (and would therefore be writing a lot of data). We actually use Excel in our data acquisition routine, mainly reading from a WorkSheet to get the parameters of a particular stimulus, but also writing the outcome of the response to the stimulus.  As it happens, our "acquisition rate" in this example is on the order of several samples per minute, so there's no problem using Excel (we also sample 16 channels of analog data at 1 KHz -- this gets written as a binary file).
    Second, if you really do want to use Excel, use the (existing) Excel file to which you want to append as the "template" argument of the New Report function.  Then use the Excel Get Last Row function to position yourself at "end of file", as noted above.
    Good Luck.

  • My line in does not work with output from my ipod

    I hooked my ipod up to the line in and changed the sound pref's to line in.   No sound comes from the speakers, YET, I see the volume graph on the sound prefs at high levels.   I then checked garage band.  even though I can record the sound from my ipod using the line in, it does not play as it's recording in garage band, HOWEVER, when I play the track back it DOES play.   I have the volume up on my IPOD classic, and it plays thru any other output source.
    Then I plugged my radio's output port (amplified) into the port, and it still does not output thru either the line out port OR the built in speakers.  NOTHING I plug into the line in port will make sound out of the computer (either speaker setting), YET, the volume adjustment definately shows that there is sound coming into the computer.  And as I've stated above, when I record the "silent" input from the line in, I can then play it back and HEAR the songs.
    This is very strange and I need it fixed...
    YES: I've changed the sound pref settings to LINE IN
    YES: I've played with the settings of garage band's audio
    YES: I've rebooted
    nothing makes it work.
    Sure looking for a solution.

    Please do not give this any thought.   I was such a dummy.. duh, you have to have something running to PLAY the input!!!  I thought the Monitor was on in garage band, and found it was not.....
    have a nice day
    Sure wish you could remove posts you've made after you do the "DUH" thing.

  • Shaker control with output from load cell

    Hi
    I am using a (analog output) shaker to generate sinusoidal forces at different frequency and of different magnitude. I am also using a load cell (analog input) to sense these forces . The max force generated by shaker decreases as I increase the frequency of vibration. Whereas, the experiment requires the force to be constant when the frequency is changing. I plan to use the max force obtained from the load cell data, as the process parameter, to modify the amplitude of input wave which excites the shaker. I seek help in this regard. I am using PCI6221 and SCC68.
    Thanks in advance.
    RSD 

    Sorry, I have been extremely busy the last couple of days (months?). I still haven't had much time to ponder the problem, but one thought comes to mind, at what frequencies are you running this and what is the load cell, and its supporting electronics, frequency response. You mention that the amplitude decreases as the frequency increases, but that you increase the gain of the driver amplifier. It (the system) is most likely non-linear in its response, so how much you increase the gain will vary. The nonlinearity of the response is one of the reasons there is so much published about control systems, PID controllers, etc.

  • External Drive Disk Erase Failed with the Error Input/Output Error

    I have 2 hard drives in an external FW800 enclosure that I am unable to format. When I go to initialize the drives in Disk Utility, I get the following error message: "Disk Erase failed with the error: Input/output error."
    The drives show up in Disk Utility, but I can't repair them (that option is grayed out). Disk Utility correctly ID's the manufacturer of the drives (Maxtor), their size (200gb each), so it's obviously seeing that the drives are there. But it won't let me format them.
    The drives are new, by the way; they don't have any data/files on them. I have Disk Warrior, but the drives don't show up there to be repaired -- probably because they aren't formatted yet.
    After looking at other posts, I tried switching the jumper settings around on the drives -- from Master/Slave to cable select and back again, but it didn't help. I also tried doing a zero erase (even though the drives are new), zapping the PRAM -- again, no help.
    One question I had is whether this could be a bad FW800 cable? The cable is new -- it came with the enclosure, which is an OWC Dual FW 800 enclosure. Other than that, does anyone have any other thoughts about what's causing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Matthew

    SOLUTION!!!!
    I had the exact same problem. I have the original 20 GB hard drive that came in my Powerbook G4 550MHz and a couple of years ago I traded up for a 60 GB drive and bought a FW/USB enclosure for my original drive to use it to backup my important files. I hadn't backed up in over a year (shame on me!) and I decided maybe I should erase the drive and start from scratch. It was connected via USB.
    At that point DiskUtility gave me the exact same Input/Output error. I tried partitioning the drive into 1 or more partitions but came up with the same error. I couldn't figure out what was wrong so I decided to startup in OS 9.2.2, I did that and let it start up, then plugged in the hard drive and it gave me the standard "This disk is unrecognizable, do you want to eject or erase?" so I clicked Initalize. It worked!
    Just make sure you choose the MacOS Extended option when initializing out of OS 9 (instead of the MacOS Standard option) so it can be read and viewed in OS X.
    If your computer is too new to be able to boot from an OS 9 folder on your drive or an OS 9 CD, then see if a friend or a local library has older computers that are running OS 9 or can boot from it. If not let me know and you can send me your drive and I'll reformat it.
    Kind of crazy...I haven't used the OS 9 partition on my HD in YEARS...was even thinking about erasing it since I don't use any Classic applications anymore...good thing I didn't!

  • Partition failed with error input output

    Hi All,
    I installed a new hard drive (WD 500G) into my 2006 Macbook, Mac OS X 10.4.10.  I also increased the RAM to 2G.  My Macbook reconized the hard drive. However, I followed the steps below to format the HD, but got the partition failed with error input output msg.
    1. Went to  Disk Utility, selected the name of new hard drive in the sidebar.
    2. Select the Partition tab, and selected 1 partition from the drop down menu.
    3. Click Options, then choose GUID .
    4. Select Partition
    In previous posts someone suggested updating the softward to 10.4.11 or the erasing the HD, but erasing the hard drive would take 13 hours according to my Macbook.  Any suggestions?  Please Help!

    The error usually means the drive is bad. But you can try this:
    Erase and Install OS X
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. After formatting has finished quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X.

    I installed arch about a week ago with no dramas, then after installing xfce-volumed I lost all sound and got this from vlc:
    Audio output failed:
    The audio device "default" could not be used:
    No such file or directory.
    So I did a new install and only installed vlc and the same thing happened again.
    Here is the terminal output from vlc:
    [mpeg4 @ 0x7f2868f17280] Invalid and inefficient vfw-avi packed B frames detected
    [0x7f2850000958] pulse audio output error: PulseAudio server connection failure: Connection refused

    No.  I doubt it's a hardware problem either.  It's a matter of getting the right sound drivers loaded for your card.  Don't give up on Arch yet.  These are the experiences you embrace with Arch.  Not run away from! :-)
    You said you were new to Arch so stick to the Beginner's Guide starting out https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide .  Make sure you read every single sentence related to "sound". 
    The Wiki is an awesome resource.  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Main_Page It's power is in the search box so do some generic searches there and it will take you to whole articles related to your problem.
    For sound problems, be sure you check out:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sound
    and
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA
    at the very least.
    In fact there's a whole page devoted to your sound card:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Realtek_ALC892
    It mentions installing some packages from the AUR.
    For AUR, you really want to install "yaourt". 
    Read about that here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt
    Once you have that installed then you use it just like pacman with all the same switches.    So to install the "alsa-driver.hda-intel.hda-codec-realtek-git" package from the AUR as the Realtec_ALC892 wiki page suggests, you'd issue "yaourt -S alsa-driver.hda-intel.hda-codec-realtek-git" from the command line running as your regular user.
    Don't give up.  It's time to dig!
    Hopefully this will get you a little further down the street.

  • SSIS 2012 package runs under SSDT but fails with permission error from SSMS

    I have a simple package that pulls data from a text file located on a Windows file server that runs successfully from SSDT on my client.
    However, when deployed and running the package via SSMS from the client, the package fails with a permission error, with the error stating that the data file could not be opened.
    I have done some investigation and have seen some info that states that a package run from SSMS runs under the account on which you are logged on to the machine, which I would have thought is correct. This is therefore the same account when running from
    SSDT (which works) and I can see from the SSIS Report that the 'Caller' is stated as my account, so if this is the case why isin't the package working.
    I've also seen an MSDN forum answer which stated the opposite that the package when run from the IS Catalog in SSMS doesn't run under the account on which the client is logged on with, which is the opposite of the above, but doesn't indicate which account
    it is using.
    So what account is being used to run SSIS 2012 packages from the IS catalog from within SSMS ?
    If it is the account on which you are logged onto the client running SSMS, why is it not working when the account has the necessary permissions (as provent when running from SSDT) ?

    I am aware it's using my account and not one of the service. There's nothing in the posts above which suggests I'm using the service account. I don't know why people keep assuming that I'm running the package from a job. I've never stated that in any of
    the posts I'm running the package from a job. It's been made quite clear I'm running the package from the IS Catalog on SSMS:
    "This is simply selecting a package from the IS Catalog, right-clicking and selecting Execute package.", as per the Nov 18 post, and in the original post "....So what account is being used to run SSIS 2012 packages from the IS catalog from
    within SSMS".
    Just to be clear, the package is NOT being run from a job. It's using the Execute package option when selecting the package within SSMS from the IS Catalog and it's running under the account on which I am logged on to my client.
    Please read carefully. I was just answering your question "So what account is being used to run SSIS 2012 packages from the IS catalog from within SSMS ?" and stating that you where right and that it uses your account to run the package
    when you execute a package manually from the Catalog and that you can prove that by logging the system variable.
    A good suggestion about using a share in the task to map the drive and I will try this. I would find it strange that SSMS requires this mapping whereas SSDT does not though.
    Ok let us know your findings. If it doesn't work you can also test it with a password and username:
    net use f: \\financial\public  yourpassword /user:username

  • Upgrade from Windows 8 to 8.1 failed with C0000022, unable to repair or rollback

    I attempted to upgrade my desktop PC from Windows 8 (Pro, x64) to Windows 8.1, using the "Update via the Windows Store" download method. The update failed, and now I can't use the PC. I cannot find any way to repair the Windows 8.1 installation;
    nor can I find any way to roll back to the old (functional) Windows 8 installation. I've searched the web for answers, and chatted with MS Support staff, and still no resolution yet. Any assistance to regain a functional system would be greatly appreciated.
    Details
    The PC is a decent spec box. No longer high-spec, but still well above the minimum requirements:
    6Gb DDR3-1333 RAM
    Intel Core i5-750 CPU
    256Gb SSD drive as the primary Windows system partition (C:) with plenty of free space
    1Tb HDD as a second partition for User data (D:) with plenty of free space
    DVD drive (E:)
    NVIDIA GTX260 graphics card
    Logitech USB keyboard
    Logitech USB optical mouse
    An older webcam & printer that required some manual driver updates to function on Win8 (everything else worked out-of-the-box).
    The PC was running Windows 8 Pro (64-bit, clean install) without any issues, for at least four months prior to the upgrade. Before that, it was running Windows 7 (x64, probably Ultimate but I forget) again without any issues.
    All Windows versions are legit MSDN installs (I am a subscriber). I've also seen other install issues in this forum related to ZoneAlarm - I have never installed ZoneAlarm so that is not a factor here.
    The Win8 to Win8.1 Upgrade
    A couple days prior to the upgrade, I enabled Client Hyper-V on the box. Did all the restarts & everything, and it looked like it worked successfully. Windows 8 still functioned as expected afterwards. I never got around to setting up an actual VM though.
    Probably a red herring; just mentioning it in case it could be relevant.
    Immediately before doing the upgrade, I manually snapped a System Restore point.
    Installing the upgrade seemed to take an incredibly long time. I think it is supposed to restart a couple of times... it was maybe six hours or so between the first and second restart.
    After the second restart, it flashed an error message for a split second. I was able to catch the message (on a subsequent restart) by filming the monitor & freeze-framing. The message is "Fatal error C0000022 applying update operation 2 of 758
    (amd64_ava...)". I'm curious why this is dying on and amd64 file, for an Intel chip?
    After flashing that message, it proceeds to a screen where it says "Getting Windows ready. Don't turn off your computer". I left it on that screen for at least 12 hours, but it never proceeded or changed. Strong suspicion it has locked up at this
    point.
    Subsequent restarts just result in it locking up at the same point.
    Loading the WinRE from the original Windows 8 install disc does not help. The snapped restore point can't be found; and the "Startup Repair" option fails with the message ""Startup Repair couldn't repair your PC". The logfile SrtTrail.txt
    states "Root cause found: The operating system version is incompatible with Startup Repair" which seems to indicate the system now thinks it is 8.1, not 8.
    Loading the WinRE from a Windows 8.1 install disc (MSDN) does not help. The snapped restore point can't be found; and the "Startup Repair" option fails with the message ""Startup Repair couldn't repair your PC". The logfile SrtTrail.txt
    states "Root cause found: Boot status indicates that the OS booted successfully" which doesn't seem like a helpful error message.
    How can I get a functional OS back (either finish the upgrade, or roll it back)? What additional diagnostic steps could I perform that would assist in finding & fixing the root cause here?
    A minor version bump of an OS should not brick a functional system! I would prefer not to do a full clean install as that would mean days of reinstalling & reconfiguring all my other (non-app store) apps, settings, etc... but if there is no other option,
    it is a last resort. Of course if it comes to that, I may as well just try Linux instead...

    OK, so Microsoft support were eventually able to resolve this. Details:
    Apparently a few other tools are also available in WinRE (including RegEdit). This can be useful for connecting to a hive from the previous O/S, to inspect keys etc.
    Windows 8.1 really, REALLY does not want to let you boot into Safe Mode, especially if it thinks you are part-way through an install. Usual boot-time key combinations would not work. Options from install disks would not work. The only way we could make
    this happen was (on tech support's explicit instructions) to
    physically yank the power cable out of the box, while it is booting, three times in a row. Apparently that is the magic combination to fool the system into loading safe mode.
    Once in Safe mode, tech support went through the process of disabling/enabling devices and services one at a time, to identify the root cause: the NVidia driver. The version I had installed was from October 2013... foolishly I had assumed it would support
    Windows 8.1 because the driver was only 2 months old, but apparently not. Anyway, updating the driver to the latest version resolved the issue, and (eventually) allowed the install to complete & get a functional system back.
    I'm recording all the details here, in the hope that it may help someone else (particularly if you are not fortunate enough to have access to Tech Support).
    Also, if any Microsoft staff are reading this, I would like to make the following points:
    Yank the power cable out during the boot, three times in a row, just to access Safe Mode?
    Are you freakin kidding me? It is 2014 and this is your latest, greatest flagship product. I should not have to risk physical damage to the power supply or PC itself JUST TO ACCESS SAFE MODE. Yes, you should be embarrassed.
    Something I mentioned earlier that I want to revisit - a minor OS version upgrade should not brick a user's system. If there is a chance of that happening, you should take reasonable steps to assist the user in preventing that from happening. Using
    this example, the first step in the upgrade process could've checked the computer for all the installed drivers & their versions, and then compared them against a list of known drivers & versions for compatibility, warning the user where appropriate
    before proceeding with the install ("your xxx driver is known to be incompatible with Win8.1, upgrade it then try again" if it's on the blacklist; maybe "your xxx driver is not known to be compatible with Win8.1,
    proceed at your own risk" if it is not on the whitelist). I accept that you cannot hope to cover every possible version of every possible driver, and that it is (theoretically) not your job to ensure other folks software is compatible with the OS. However
    you could at least make the effort to blacklist/whitelist the obvious ones... with graphics cards you really only have a choice of NVidia, ATI and Intel. Helping users to avoid bricking their systems will at least make your software seem less user-hostile.

  • SSIS 2012 is intermittently failing with below "Invalid date format" while importing data from a source table into a Destination table with same exact schema.

    We migrated Packages from SSIS 2008 to 2012. The Package is working fine in all the environments except in one of our environment.
    SSIS 2012 is intermittently failing with below error while importing data from a source table into a Destination table with same exact schema.

    the specified type.".
    End Error
    But when we reorder the column in "Updated" in Destination table, the package is importing data successfully.
    This looks like bug to me, Any suggestion?

    Hi Mohideen,
    Based on my research, the issue might be related to one of the following factors:
    Memory pressure. Check there is a memory challenge when the issue occurs. In addition, if the package runs in 32-bit runtime on the specific server, use the 64-bit runtime instead.
    A known issue with SQL Native Client. As a workaround, use .NET data provider instead of SNAC.
    Hope this helps.
