Chapter id issue ECC6.0

Dear Friends,
There are materials that are covered in 3 different chapter ID. Even there is no clarification at the govt authority level. The same material is supplied by different vendors under different chapter ID, this was working and never the govt authorities raised any objection to it.
It is difficult for the client to take up with the each vendor and reach at a final conclusion which chapter id is to be used. And there is also the possibility that vendor may not agree what chapter ID client is proposing to use.
When moving to SAP how this can be taken care?
Please advice to resolve this issue.

Hi ajay
W.r.t. uncertainity of chapter ID, the goods receipiant has to go ahead based on the excise invoice received from the vendor.
The J1ID maintenance is to propose default values.
So, during capturing the excise invoice, based on the chapter id mentioned on invoice, the user can overwrite the chapter id and post the document.
warm regards

Chapter ID issue

Can anyone help regarding chapter ID issue...PO was getting posted and invoice no. were generating with the same material no. without giving any error ...but now they are asking for chapter ID...that can be maintained through J1ID...
but why it was not giving chapter ID error earlier with the same material no......??
Pls reply...

Hi Shruti,
This may be happening because u might have done the entries for the another plant . Please check the plant u r using is maintained in Material -chapter ID combination. Also check the plant excise details are maintained or not.
With best regards,

Segment Release version issue - ECC6 to older ver.

Hi
Our system was recently upgraded from ECC5 to ECC6 and we are facing an issue with one of the interfaces that is connected directly to the R/3 System.
This issue is realted to an outbound interface and it used to work fine when we were on ECC5. The message we are sending is a bespoke extension based on basic type DELVRY03. The segment E1EDL24 have new fields added to them in the 701 release version compared to the 620 version which was the higest available on ECC5.
I tried reducing the IDOC segment release version to 620 and 46C in the partner profile, but the message received by the thirdparty still contains the new fields which is causing an issue at their end.
I would appreciate if you could provide me some guidanace on how to appraoch this issue.
Thanks & Regards
Praveen

Hello Guy's,
We have recenlyt upgraded our quality system to ECC6.
I am also facing the same issue, As per my unnderstadning if I put segment release in WE20 then in ALE communication Layer Idoc should remove the fileds which are not intended for the given release. For example E1EDP01 is having highest release 008 for 701 release. If I set 40A in partner profile the Idoc should generate with fileds only available in 40A release i.e. version 003,but SAP is filling all thefilds which are available in701 relase.
I don;t understand why SAP has given such a functionality though it actually not filter the data at communication layer!!.
Could you please let me know did any of you really see the difference when you use segment release in WE20 when using PI as receiver? I did sevaral test for MATMAS, ORDERS found this segment release is useless.
If you have applied any workarounds(other then updating receiver system mapping) please let me know. I think is there any modification in ECC6???

Chapter ID issue in goods receipt

Hi MM Cosnultants,
We are getting materials from another plant thro STO .
We created a STO ( Chapter ID is nto maintained in receiving plant during STO creation and maintained later before MIGO) and material is sent from another palnt thro SD delivery and billing and excise invoice.
Now when we do MIGO in receiving plant system system copies the chapter id and once i enter the excise invoice ref of supplying plant the chap[ter id disapperas and not able to post and throws the error " Maintain chapter ID for the material XXXXXX "
How to fix this issue.
We dont have option to maintain teh chapter id in old date.
This is critical issue and request help.
Points will be given to the right answers.
Waiting for your reply
Yashwanth

HI,
As you said you maintain chapter ID before MIGO,
IF possible cancel your outgoing excise invoice first and then maintain chapter ID and then again do outgoing excise invoice through SD.

Help with chapter/marker issue, please

Using DVDSPRO 2.0.5.
One track, 58 mins of movie.
Have set five chapter markers and buttons, plus one 'Play Whole Movie' button.
Playback via 'Play Whole Movie' button results in playback of Whole Movie track stopping at the end of each chapter and jumping back to Main Menu.
It did not do this playback jump-back on my set-top box, but it DID do it on a client's player. Oh dear.
What am I doing wrong? Why won't the Main Movie Track play straight through (i.e. ignore) each marker and continue to the absolute end, i.e. minute 58?
(End Jump of Whole Movie track is set to Main Menu.)
Can this only be avoided by using Stories, and telling the Main Track that it must play through without stopping at the Chapter Markers?
G4 Quicksilver 860 Mhz Mac OS X (10.3.9) FCP 4.5 HD

My own solution:
Create a second 'Whole Movie' track with the same Whole Movie asset. This Track is connected to the Play Whole Movie Button. The track has NO Chapter Markers. It of course jumps back to Main menu at its end,
The original 'Whole Movie' track with Chapter Markers is re-named to 'Story Track'. The Chapter Buttons are connected to this markers on track.
Might this fix the problem for EVERY SET-TOP BOX?

Page/chapter numbering probs in material converted from Word

Situation: Need to convert ~300 pages (multiple files) of Word into structured Frame. I'm not very familiar with structured Frame (but am working on this), and am a long-time user of nonstructured. Moving Word 2007 files into Frame9 (in TCS2).
Problem: Chapter/page numbering. No matter what I try, including copies of a file that demonstrably works, one copy does not accept the "Continued" settings for page numbering. It resets the TOC to page 1. Copies of that file added to the TOC also reliably reset page numbering to 1. When I go in to see what's going on I find that the Numbering dialog for each problem file shows it mysteriously reset to start page numbering at 1. (These copies are nearly identical, differing only in a numeral in one heading to remind me what chapter each is file supposed to be.)
Further, when I added an autonumbered ChapterTitle paragraph at the top of each file to test chapter numbering, the page numbering problem resolved itself (!) but the chapters don't increment as expected. Numbering string: "C:Chapter <n=1>" for Chpt1 and "C:Chapter <n+>" for the rest of them.
Test setup: Saw this in production files and stepped back to use a simple Word source file as a test. Constructed several Normal paragraphs, a bulleted list, and a numbered list, and two heading levels (Heading1, Heading2) in this file. Saved; closed. Opened the file in Frame (Structured). Created several nearly identical copies and added all to a book file. Added a TOC to the book. Set the numbering: Chpt1 starts Chapter and Page at 1 and all others are set to "Continued" in both categories.
Added the ChapterTitle paragraph to each file after conversion.
In one experiment I applied several of the "target" Frame paragraph formats. Target formats were supplied by writer who works primarily in a structured Frame setup that is similar to the one planned for the converted material. In one file all paragraphs were set to their Frame equivalents. In others there was a mix of original (as brought over from Word) and Frame formats. Made no apparent difference.
Questions: Is this something about structured vs. unstructured? About structured Frame WRT conversion from Word? Either way, has anyone else seen (more to the point, *resolved*) similar?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
Anne

OK--
WRT "<$chapnum>": check, thanks for the reminder. (Yes, I agree that chapter/page numbering tabs are different items.) :-)
To clarify: yes, the idea is a Word > Frame conversion. The process stumbled upon so far starts with opening Word files in unstructured Frame. (I'd never done it, either---never had a need to try. Somebody new to Frame asked if it was possible, so we experimented and voila!) I have recommended dropping files into .mif and then resaving as .fm in order to lose any artifactual Word stuff.
Step 2 is applying appropriate Frame paragraph styles from a supplied list, and creating book files. (The page numbering issue resolved once I added a ChapterHead paragraph. Using the <$chapnum> tag handles the remaining chapter number issue.)
In theory Step 3 will be the move into handling the fully-converted material as structured Frame documents. The key point, though, appears to be the conversion table. I get this from a WritersUSA article by Alan Houser at http://www.writersua.com/articles/frame/index.html:
FrameMaker provides a mechanism called a conversion table to automate much of the task of legacy document conversion. The conversion table maps unstructured FrameMaker paragraph and character formats to elements, and allows you to automatically nest groups of elements. If your legacy documents were created using a style-based authoring tool (typically FrameMaker or Word [!]) and your authors have used those styles consistently, you may be able to automate 80%-90% of the conversion process. If your legacy documents include a significant amount of manual or ad-hoc formatting, the conversion will be substantially more tedious.
Looks like my group will have to create this.
Thanks, all, for the help. :-)

Chapter point End Action not working

I'm creating a a training DVD in which one timeline has several spots where the DVD should pause while the class discusses the scene that has just played. I've added 5 seconds of black to mark those spots, and at the beginning of the black I have a chapter point that has an End Action to go to a menu with a "Continue" button. At the end of the black I have another chapter point that the "Continue" button links to. On one of the point that route to the "Continue" menu, it doesn't route to the menu, but just jumps back to the last chapter point...essentially looping that section. It doesn't do this when I "Preview" from the main menu...all works correctly there, but when I Build the project to DVD Folders and play on my PC, that's when it happens.
Steve Brame

Nope...no overrides are set. I have several other chapter points on the timeline that are set up identical to this one, and they link correctly to their respective menus...only this one didn't. I deleted the point and recreated it and now it works. I'd noticed several other Chapter Point issues here that were solved by this action.
Thanks!

IMovie to iDVD re:Chapter Markers

I have been working on a video for the past few weeks and using iMovie '09 I assembled the clips, added audio and added in chapter markers as well. I have tried to Share>iDVD and Share>Media Browser and both options do not show my chapter markers. The video I am working on is 1:42:21 so yes... fairly long but not TOO long for one DVD or anything like that.
When I drag random clips into a new project (all of 41 seconds) and add chapter markers I can Share>iDVD and the markers come up fine in iDVD but when I try to do the same with my 1hr+ movie it takes about 2:30 hours to render and then I still get no chapter markers. I feel like I am spinning my wheels and there is definitely a way to make this happen.
Is there an iDVD or iMovie master out there who can help me out? I am getting very frustrated and have probably tried about 10-15 times (rendering at 2-4 hours each!) I don't understand WHY the chapter markers will show up for the short video and I do everything the same for the long video and get nothing. PLEASE HELP!

Hi appleNewbie34
And welcome to apple discussions. All of my own iDvd'09 projects to date have been well under 60 mins. so I don't know how much help I can offer you on this particular issue of a dvd that approaches nearly 2 hrs. You claim that your shorter projects have no chapter marker issues. Exactly how long /short were those initial projects and did they incorporate the same type of video? Or did the source video also change on these longer projects?
Here's what I was able to find and hopefully some of this will help but if not just come on back.
First, I'd recommend you delete all encoded assets. Let's start again (even though you may have already done this many times before).
Second I'd like you to quit iDvd.
Third, drag and drop the plist for iDvd to the trash. Looks like this:
com.apple.iDvd.plist
Fourth, Restart your mac.
Fifth, repair permissions from apple's disc utility.
Sixth, fire up iDvd Also please make sure all of your titles fall within the TV Safe area like this:
Click Here:
Then follow these steps to create a disc image to the desktop:
Click Here
Seventh, now I'd like you to test the disc image for proper playback with apple's dvd player application as follows:
Lastly, let's assume it plays exactly as expected (chapters and all) .... Now it's time to burn the image to Dvd-r. I recommend using Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, or Maxell. Please avoid using Memorex while we troubleshoot.
Feel free to post back with the results.

Chapter Markers etc..

I exported my project from FCP6 to compressor then to mpeg 2 etc. I checked the chapter markers box. I open dvd studio pro 4 and get it all set up with the cover and index I want and import my project. I watched several tutorials because I am new to dvd studio pro 4 and get a good idea on how to assign the buttons. So I select the button I want then go to the box to set my asset but it assigns the entire project. I cannot select any sort of chapter 1 or anything that will turn the box black without it containing the entire thing.
Things I have tried:
1: Exporting as a quicktime without any markers then go into dvd studio pro 4 and make my own.
2: Export into compressor without any markers and then make my own in dvd studio pro 4.
3: Export both 1 and 2 with markers and try that in dvd studio pro 4.
I know it has to be something easy that I am missing but I am not sure what,
What is it I want to do?
1: I want to know how to make the proper markers for dvd studio pro 4 to accept.
2: I want to know how to set the assets properly so that it reads each chapter individually,
3: I want to know if I need to make a chapter 1 or is that a default by dvd studio pro 4 as I always see a marker at the beginning?

This is not exactly the answer you were looking for, but if you need to get it done now before you will have time to figure out the solution to your FCP chapter markers issue, you can add markers to the track timeline right in DVDSP. Then, when you want to set the targets for your buttons, you will find the track's markers available to select as the target.

Slideshow Menu Chapter Forward Oddity

Anyone encouter this?
When I test my DVD project on a burnt DVD-R I encounter a strange Slideshow/Menu/Chapter Forward issue.
If I am playing a slide show that pauses at each slide indefinitley then I hit Menu (it is set to return to the menu button that triggered it) then hit menu again, it returns where it previously left off. But when I then hit chapter forward it it goes to the previous menu, the one that you were at to get to the slide show. Then when you hit menu again it goes to the Title menu. I think I can figure out the last part since that's how the selecting menu button is programmed, but the rest is wacky.
Thoughts?

Depending on the theme you choose, yes. Check the ‘Show Title Slide’ button in the Settings. It will use the Album title as a name for the Slideshow.
To insert a new title page in the Middle of the Slideshow, make a JPEG with the title and import it to iPhoto.
Or use another app...
BTW: these are all iPhoto 09 queries and you’re posting in the v5 forum.

Delayed chapter end action

Having end actions available for all chapters is a great advance - but I seem to have a problem with it in practice. The clip keeps playing for a second or two after the chapter point before responding to the end action. This happens regardless of whether the clip is playing or whether you skip forward through the preceding chapters to the one with the end action.
I can sort of adjust the position of the chapter point to allow for this, and I think it is slightly better if I put 2 end chapter points the minimum legal distance apart (both with the same instruction) and of course I could edit the original video so this flaw (if it is one) would not be so noticable (but really this would require a separate edit for the 'play all' version - which would defeat at least half the benefit) - but I wonder if ther is a better solution?
Cheers,
Malcolm

Hmmm...
Are your source files .m2v or are you letting Encore transcode non-mpeg files?
.m2v
If you're letting Encore transcode, then are you adding the chapter markers after background transcoding using the Transcode Now command?
No, all files are encode from the PPro timeline with chapters named and in place. (I have since tried moving them back a bit on the Encore timeline and added a 'second stop' where Encore allows - but this is only after encountering the original problem)
I'm asking a lot of questions because I haven't seen the behavior you describe.
No problem - thanks a lot for your help.
If your source files are already transcoded .m2v or .mpg files, then this may be a chapter placement issue. Once a file is transcoded, Encore can only put chapter markers at GOP headers (I-frames). Since PAL(?) I-frames are about a half-second apart, you could be getting chapter markers in the finished DVD that are not where you thought they were. NTSC works the same way.
I understand this but it shouldn't be a problem if the chaapter points are put in on the PremPro timeline? (btw this was a PPro 1.5 project - I guess I could try it in 2 as well?) We work in PAL (and ony convert to NTSC if needed - it wasn't in this case).
Cheers,
Malcolm

Missing page numbers while generating PDF from Framemaker book

FrameMaker 9 book files have the correct master page applied and page numbers appear right. However, when generating PDF, the page numbers including the footer is missing.
I created another book file, yet same issue occurs.
Also, tried generating separate PDF for each chapter, same issue occurs.
I have installed Univers font from ATM, I'm using WIndows XP. The Footer tags are in Univers font. Could that be the reason?
Please advise.

Error7103 wrote:
We have seen a similar problem when the page# was at the right edge of the header or footer frame, and the tab that put it there was too far to the right.
This is an old problem. It comes from setting tab stop positions in paragraph formats with the cursor in the text frame on the TOC reference page. Nothing wrong with this, EXCEPT when the master page text frame has been made narrower than the reference page's text frame. One way to avoid the problem or to fix it, is to set tab stops in a paragraph in the body page text frame, so the width is correct. Another way is to set the tab stops accurately by number, rather than by eye. Visually, the reference page tab stop will look correct, but the generated TOC uses the master page text frame - if it's narrower than the reference frame, this problem occurs.
I seem to remember that this might have been fixed in more recent FM releases, but I think that's a false recovered memory, because this is not a bug, just a discrepancy in measurement. There's no way to expect that the prototype paragraph format on the TOC reference page can know if a tab stop will be out-of-bounds on the generated TOC page.

Batch status disappearing after taking the UD (QA11)

Hi Experts,
We are facing the following issue (ECC6.0 EHP5 with no enhancement activated):
- when the UD is made for the IL created at GR from purchase order (origin 01), the batch status initially set at GR (Q) is cleared; same time the UD for the IL is recorded and kept correctly (UD has the new status)
- when this UD is changed for the same IL, the batch status is getting updated with the new status; the UD for the IL is correctly updated, too.
We have implemented the note 1687321, but the problem still persists.
Has anyone of you faced the similar problem? Any hints where to look for the root-cause?
I've checked the user exits for batch update and QA11 (based on forum posts), but they are not called at making UD or they have correct values.
Thanks for help,
/J

Hi FF,
I think we are on the same page with terminology
Indeed, our process is a bit "enhanced" I would say. When doing the GR from purchase order, the batch characteristic LOBM_UDCODE is pre-filled with the UD of "Q" (LEANQM1 Q) whereas the IL created upon packing of HUs has no UD.
Then, when user makes UD for this IL, the pre-filled UD on batch level should be changed to the UD user made. It is not and the value disappears. I've run some checks on the ABAP code and the issue seems to be caused by the VB_CHANGE_BATCH used in the MQEVAF40 in form charge_klassifizieren. When the initial UD is made (QA11), the internal table for this f-n module has only the new values the batch classification is to be updated with. When the UD change is made (QA12) - both new and old values are provided. If I change the internal table values to include old and new ones for the initial UD, the process works correctly (batch LOBM_UDCODE is updated with new value).
As we are upgrading to ECC6 EHP5, I've compared the flow to the ECC5 and the values provided to VB_CHANGE_BATCH at initial UD (QA11) are the same for both systems. The process works in ECC5. As result, we have created the OSS message.
In MSC3n changes to the batch characteristics are visible from change docs - and the log is kept for QA11 and QA12. For the removal of LOBM_UDCODE it displays "deleted" values, and for QA12 it shows "created" values. In other words - change logs are working correctly.
Once SAP responds to OSS message I will update this tread. Any ideas appreciated.

SAP upgrade - questions for report painter and query

Hi Experts,
I have two quwstions of SAP upgrade.
My requirement is: SAP upgrade from 4.6B to ECC 6.0 with non-unicode.
1.Does SAP upgrade influence the report painter? If influence, could you tell me what should I do for this case.
2. We have so many queries (SQ01) in our system and many of them haven't been run for a long time. we need a tool to get the runtimes of queries in a certain durition.
For example: From 2008/01/01 to 2008/03/31,I want to know how many queries had been run/ query name/ runtimes of each query.
Best regards,

> 1.Does SAP upgrade influence the report painter? If influence, could you tell me what should I do for this case.
You can check
Note 1155524 - ReportWriter: Upgrade Issues ECC6.0 -Common Customer Issues
> 2. We have so many queries (SQ01) in our system and many of them haven't been run for a long time. we need a tool to get the runtimes of queries in a certain durition.
Such a tool was RBE (Reverse Business Engineer) - which is out of support.
You can try to get that information from ST03. If that is not enough there's no other way than booking an SLO service to find out the queries that have not been used (http://service.sap.com/slo).

My markers/chapters created in FCP cause multiplexer error in iDVD

After two days of trying to figure out what causes this multiplexer error in iDVD - I have deduced that it is chapter markers in FCP. I can burn projects from quicktimes exported from FCP without chapters, but cannot burn ones with chapters.
Obviously I'd like chapters - has anyone run into this before and found any solutions?
Thanks.
Also, how do we let Apple know of these bugs so that they can fix them?

I regularly export from FCP to iDVD with chapter markers with no issues. Make sure you don't have a chapter marker too close to the beginning of the project; make sure the markers aren't too close together (like more than one second). I've heard of chapter marker issues if they are right on transitions tho I've never had that problem. Make sure nothing is selected in your timeline before you export
Obviously you want to export as Quicktime Movie, not Quicktime Conversion. Make sure you have iDVD set up to recognize chapter markers; sorry if these are obvious, just trying to think of everything.
Also, don't forget to mixdown your audio before exporting
The iDVD forum can also be helpful
