CHARM Project transports out of sequence

Hi All.
We've implemented a project using CHARM but we found that 7 out of 287 transports were imported not in the proper sequence as they were in the PRD queue.
The 7 transports were attached to 1 Urgent Correction with 8 transports altogether. The 8th transport request was imported first before the first 7
when the project import was done. This Urgent Correction was implemented along during the project import (was not imported to prod prior to the project implementation) .
Is there a way to make sure that when using CHARM for project import, the transports will be imported in correct sequence as per release date in the prod. queue?
Thanks,
Tess

We will create a a seperate maintenance cycle

Charm and transport sequence

Hi,
If I have corrections A, B, C and D containing changes to the same object. A was released as a transport first, B second, C third and D fourth. They go through testing and the workflow in Charm, with final approval sequence of D, C, A. D was quickest to get tested, perhaps simplest change. C was second and A was last, perhaps the one to test longest. B on the other hand looks like it will need more time. I want to import A, C and D into production. I want to do mass imports into my production system. Using Charm, how can I ensure that (1) correction transport sequence in the import queue is A, C and D (transport release sequence is obeyed) and (2) B is not in the production system queue (release of transport in dev system does not add it automatically into the import queue in production)?
Don't worry about low level detail description, I am after guidance/ideas on how to achieve this.
Thank you,
Mike

Hi Prashant,
if you use normale correction SDMJ with project import, the import sequence A, C, D is secured, since the transports are imported in the sequence they were released in the development system.
If you want to prevent to import B you can use transport of copies.

Christoph

I have a finalized project in iMovie '11. Shared it on Youtube, Facebook, and Vimeo. Then, when I shared it to iDVD, it reverted to a previous version of the project, so my titles and pictures were out of sequence. My final project is now gone!

I have a finalized project in iMovie '11. Shared it on Youtube, Facebook, and Vimeo. Then, when I shared it to iDVD, it reverted to a previous version of the project, so my titles and pictures were out of sequence. Now, in my list of projects, my project is there, but finalized as the previous version which is all out of sequence. My true final project is now gone! What happend?
I didn't notice this problem until after the DVD was burned in iDVD. Then, when I played the DVD in a public setting, I was a bit embarrassed by what played.

Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

Adding a new system to existing ChaRM Project

Hi,
We have configured Charm in our landscape and we use Solution Manager 7.1 SP08.
Requirements:
Add a new system to the existing ChaRM Project.
Edit the logical components for e.g. To replace current SID (QA1) with another SID (QA2)
Add items (Systems or Tasks)to the existing task list
We faced problems (duplicate record dumps), while configuring as per our requirements above. SAP suggested us to
Close the Project and create a new one to include a new system. [This is not feasible for us]
Close the current maintenance cycle and create a new one if you want to edit the logical systems or to add any task or system to the existing task list.
So we have the following questions
What is the impact on closing the current maintenance cycle? We have half of transports in released and half in locked status.What happens to the transports that are not yet released?
Will they automatically get released or
Will they not get impacted or
Will they get assigned to the new maintenance cycle automatically or
Do we need to do it manually or does it not matter
Since we are close to starting our ITC, how do we go about that? How will we bundle our transports for our ITC with different maintenance cycles holding transports
What is the impact on locking a maintenance cycle?
What is the impact on project team members on creating a new maintenance cycle?
How does the maintenance cycle get impacted if we refresh existing systems?
Have you faced a similar problem? Is there an alternate solution?
If we need to add a new development system to the Project do we need to close the current project or just add it to a new maintenance cycle?
Reporting
How do we run a report for stats by Maintenance cycle
--> System --> Transport released
--> System --> Transports created (not released)
How does reporting get impacted if we make the changes stated above

Hi Nanada,
check the below blog,to adding - Add a new system to the existing ChaRM Project.
Charm task list creation for newly added system... | SCN
So we have the following questions
What is the impact on closing the current maintenance cycle? We have half of transports in released and half in locked status. - dont close the MC with out proper TR movement in PRD. it will make the system inconsistency. if it is released TR not able to unassigned from MC . this feature available from SP10. What happens to the transports that are not yet released?
Will they automatically get released or - no
Will they not get impacted or - make solman inconsistency
Will they get assigned to the new maintenance cycle automatically or- if not released from DEv, it needs to assign manually from one MC to other MC
https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000611352012E/index.htm
Do we need to do it manually or does it not matter - yes, check the above link

Indexing - Out of Sequence and Missing Page Numbers

I have a 296 page book. This is an on-going project and has been updated many times.
Two new sections have been added to this book. I have marked words for indexing.
My problem is that many of the page numbers are repeated or out-of-sequence.
For example: Intake Manifolds 66, 67, 68, 69, 68, 87, 68, 69, 186, 189, 203
This is one item that is not in the new sections, so this should not have changed.
I also have noticed missing page numbers. I verified a 'Helmets & Accessories' marker on page 248 of the new section, but it doesn't show up in the index at all.
Does anyone have any idea what could cause this? I have searched the net for others having the same issues, but I haven't found many.
IDCS4 on Mac Pro.
Thanks.
Randy

We are having the same problem! I'm using ID CS4 6.0.1 on a 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 running OS X 10.5.6. For example, see below. The * represents a missing page number.
Axle, Rear
Alignment 163
Fastener Torque 15
Magnetic Drain Plugs 28, 51, 27, 45 [note how out of sequence these are!!]
Preventive Maintenance *, 145
CS3 was finally fixed by an Adobe patch, and as far as indexing big books went, became as solid as a rock. But now they have broken it again!! It is killing us, because we've switched 20 computers to CS4 only and updated all of our files, so we can't go back!
The only thing that seems to work is to find problem files and open the Index palette and click the Update Preview button. THEN you run your index, and sometimes it's fixed. A couple of "bad" files can spoil the whole barrel, but it's impossible to figure out which ones are bad, or even why they're bad. And when you finally fix one problem, by using the Update Preview button or by blowing away index markers and re-doing them, and getting rid of unused topics, the SAME PROBLEM will appear in other places related to other files in your book, that were "good" before!!!

Change production sys. SID in LMDB for an ongoing Charm project

Hi all,
We are in the process of configuring Charm on Solman 7.1 SP12
In our current scenario, BSD and BSQ have been already upgraded. So they are in the same release. Production system (BSP) however has been not upgraded yet. Therefore, in LMDB there is a system with the above-mentioned SID (BSP). The point is that BSP it is in different release from the rest of the system in the maintenance track (BSD and BSQ).
Considering the above described scenario, we are not able to add current BSP in logical component (LC) for BSD and BSQ, and that it is being used within the Charm project, since it has a different product version from the rest of the system in maintenance landscape. Unfortunately we are not able to delete nor modify BSP in LMDB either since is being used in BPmon among other things.
We are planning to create a Virtual production system with a different SID (eg BS2) and with the correct release, product versions, in order to be able to include it to the LC currently added to the Charm project. Work this way until the upgrade process on BSP ends. Then, when BSP is upgraded, and after closing the maintenance task lists, production system will be updated from BS2àBSP in LC. Do you see any constraint
in using this strategy?
Please let me know if was clear enough.
Thanks in advance

Hi Sid,
There is a concept called transport of copies (ToCs) which will help you in this situation.
Transport of copies can move the changes to TEST environment when ChaRM project is "in development".
Transport of copies can move chang only to next system i.e. TEST and cannot move further to production system.
Developers can test and revert back the change untill test is successful without any effect on the flow of the change documents. Once development is as per requirement, regular transport request can be released from D -> Q -> P.
Thanks,
Ambarish

ChaRM without transport

We'd like to implement ChaRM without transport management yet. But we still need to create transport requests from the UC, so we do need to create a maintenance cycle. Or is there a way to create UCs with transport requests without project and maintenance cycle?
However, upon creation of MC full configuration of the TMS is required! All transports to QAS and PRD are going to be done manually. Do we still need to configure the transport routes?

So, I need to create two consolidation routes for the two layers from DEV to QAS and one delivery route from QAS to PRD ADDITIONALY to the already existing transport routes and this won't be a problem for the existing configuration?
> "Create the consolidation transport routes to SMM:200, transport route must be CLIENT SPECIFIC for the use in Charm scenario, this is real important!"
If I change the transport strategy of the three systems to "client specific", won't this require change of ALL other transport routes that have already been defined for those systems?
> "RFC connections from Solution Manager to DEV, QUA and PRD system, donu2019t forget to create also SM_..._TMW connection to all satellites DEV, QUA and PRD, to clients with customizing, test and production roles, in our example, we will create the RFC connection to 100, 200 and 300. Also to client 000 of all the involved systems, DEV, QUA and PRD systems in our example."
Does this mean I have to have an user in all three systems including in all three 000-clients?

I am working on Premiere 6.5. why does my vid seem out of sequence and jumpy after exporting it as an avi?

I was near completion of an edit when my mother board died. I transfered the project over to my laptop, premiere could no longer read the source avi file that i was editing from. upon inspection I discovered that the avi file had becone corrupt and would no longer play back corectly so I ran it through a video converter saved it as a new file, this new file plays back just fine. When loading up the project I replaced the corrupt and AVI file with the new file. the software some how remembered all of my cuts on the time line. the vid took an unusual 10 hours to render and now plays back properly on the time line but after exporting it as both an AVI and MPG the exported files appear out of sink, out of sequence and jumps to footage that isn't even included on the time line.
whoever can get their heads around this one is a fricking legend.
Please help.

Please tell us about your source footage, that AVI. This ARTICLE will give you some background on "wrappers," like AVI.
What you describe sounds like the issues that one often faces, when trying to edit certain forms of .MPEG source footage. Both the OOS and the jumping to frames, that should not exist, are both manifestations of .MPEG's on the Timeline (not MPEG's with Export).
Good luck,
Hunt

Charm Project deletion

Dear All,
I have created 3 projects for CHARM project & have activated all the projects for Charm. Initially we were getting some error in the first project, so created one more project as suggested in the threads. Now 3rd project is working fine, but i dont want other 2 projects to display here at solar_project_admin. I came to know that we cannot delete them. is there any other way so that we will not be able to see those 2 unwanted projects here ? As my client will not ready to see those here.
One more issue is we dont have 2 different servers here as Dev & PRD and we r using same server for PRD purpose also. Please help me out to solve this issue.
B/regds,
Kallu

Hi,
Since the project has been used for Change Request Management you can not delete it anymore, for traceability reasons.
For hiding purpose you can try these auth objects and assign only one project name in respective field
S_PRO_AUTH
S_PROJ_GEN
S_PROJECT
S_PROJECTS
Hope it will help you, revert after checking the same.

Edit to Tape playing out different sequence

Hello
Does anyone know why when I try to play out one sequence using Edit to Tape it begins playing out another? I drag my sequence called 'PLAYOUT' into the Insert option, yet a different sequence from the same project starts to record on my tape. I'm completely confused!

This has happened to me once in the past, though the sequence that wanted to play out was not even in the same project. Trashing prefs should solve your problem. I was never able to figure out any other way to fix it.

Archiving Projects that use Nested Sequences

I'm looking for some help using Project Manager to archive projects that use nested sequences.
I work at the University of Michigan, we are wrapping up a study that is based on files from many Premiere Pro projects. Each project started with 150 to 160 min of video footage from two cameras.
Of this we have edited down to a 10 – 20min finished sequence containing footage from both cameras as a two-camera shoot. I want to archive eachproject (to save HDD space) retaining only the used sections of footage in thePPro archived project, allowing us to make minor edits to the projects.
My workflow has been to rely heavily on nested sequences throughout each project. From two sequences containing all of the footage from Camera1 and Camera2 all the way to the final cut sequence everything is dependent on a series of interim nested sequences. So the last sequence “Final” is based/linked on the very first sequences. When I attempt toarchive this using Project Manager the nested sequence edits are not recognized as individual clips. I either end up with all of the original footage or no footage. I’m not sure how (if?) I can archive these projects in a way to eliminate all but the final file footage segments with 30 frame handles.
Can anyone point me in the right direction or offer some advice?

figure for $1000/terabyte drive
Alot less than that, you can get a good Dual HD enclosure for $100 and probably less than that, and 500 Gig Drives for about $250 a piece, so assume about $600 without shopping too hard.
I find it is alot easier to use HDs, and have a couple of copies for important projects. You can use the other items as another backup (never can have too many) and going to be easier than having to recapture, especially if there was dropped framess or timecode issues. Guess it comes down too how often do you have to go back annd re-edit a wedding DVD once it is done, and what will make your like easier when it is said and done, but if it happens, on the HD just open it up, otherwise you have to recapture the tapes which is a couple of hours at least it sounds like.
As to archieve DVDs, who knows. There have been claims that the original CDs were to last 100 years, some of the ones I bought when they first came out started to go a few years ago. Same for some other media.

Lightroom 5.7 Imports Photos Out of Sequence

Since updating to Lightroom 5.7 photos are imported out of sequence. They are in the correct sequence when the card is read but during import they are scrambled, for example: importing five photos in order A, B, C, D and E but the sequence after import was A was 0001, D was 0002, B was 0003 and E was 0004 and C was 0005. Not a big deal with 5 photos but it makes processing more difficult with a large imports. Has anyone else run into this and how was it fixed? Thanks!

My best work around for this is to just import them without renaming them, then once they are imported, I go into the folder they are in and sort with Capture time. Then I select all of them (Command A) and then go to the toolbar, Library->Rename Photos and then select my favorite way to name my pictures. It renames them super fast and now the file name sequence and the capture times are all in sync. There are a lot of improvements that need to be made with LR. Another issue that takes work outside of Lightroom is the "Make Second Copy" in the Import section. That needs its own section with way more options.

When creating a new project, the step "new sequence settings" doe not appear automatically, what to do?

Hi there,
I have a question I am doing product videos for a comany they would like me to do this in a format that is 16:9 and in HD. Since they don't know on which channels they want to publish it but it is certain they will publish it on youtube I wanted to do it in the settings HDV and then DVCPROHD 720p24 or even 1080p24. I have bought the license of Premiere online and for some reason I do not have the option in the beginning when I create a new project to change the sequence settings. They do not appear and afterwards I cannot change them. Do you guys have an idea what can be done in order to access this setting before the project ultimately opens?
I'd highly appreciate any kind of help on the matter!
Cheers,
Mascha

How to find out which sequence a certain column used?

you konw column C in table T is created by a sequence.
How to find out which sequence column C is using?

In the meantime I think it ought to becompulsory to
only assign sequence values in triggers.
Why? I can see no good reason for this. I think it's a good idea to have stuff like this
coded in only one placeI don't like your argument for compulsory using triggers for sequences for exactly the same reason as you, ie that I like to keep my code in one place. If I'm reading some pl/sql code which uses a sequence I like to see the fact that the sequence is used in the pl/sql code, rather than to check to see if theres a trigger on the table and then see which sequence that uses.
"naming conventions can work, provided they're enforced. Alas, like other standards, they can only be enforced by active policing".
Thats what code reviews are.
" there is also the special case of one sequence populating more than one table...."
This is My Pet hate. I don't think there's ever a case where this is absolutely necessary. Again code reviews
Unfortunately I have to live with a system which does this.
and I appreciate we can't all have code reviews, etc.
