Checkout - modify record fails

Hi all,
I am facing a strange problem with Java API SP06.
I am checking out the main table records and I am setting field values for a record. When i execute modifyrecords command for the checkedout maintable record, I am getting a server exception...
"The records is protected"
The user session is same for all the operation.
I cannot figure out the problem.
Cant we do modification on checked out records?
Best regards,
Arun prabhu S

Hi Walter,
Thanks for the reply.
I was using modifyrecordCommand. i was getting "record is protected" exception.
Now i have changed my approach.
I am using modifyrecordscommand. Here i am supplying the records which i have modified. But the modification does not affects the checked out records.
BTW...Where do i supply the record ids? From my knowledge modifyrecordsbyID is not supported in SP06.
Kindly clarify.
Thanks and best regards,
Arun prabhu S

Data Loader - Only imports first record; remaining records fail

I'm trying to use Data Loader to import a group of opportunities. Everytime I run the Data Loader it only imports the first record. All the other records fail with the message "An unexpected error occurred during the import of the following row: 'External Unique Id: xxxxxxx'". After running the Data Loader, I can modify the Data file and remove the first record that was imported. By running the Data Loader again, the first row (previously the second row) will import successfully.
Any idea what could be causing this behavior?

W need a LOT more information, starting with the OS, and the version of ID, including any applied patches.
Next we need to know if you are doing a single record per page or multiple records, whether the placeholders are on the master page, how many pages are in the document and if they all have fields on them (some screen captures might be useful -- embed them using the camera icon on the editing toolbar on the webpage rather than attaching, if it works [there seem to be some issues at the moment, though only for some people]).
What else is on the page? Are you really telling it to merge all the records, or just one?
You get the idea... Full description of what youhave, what you are doing, and what you get instead of what you expect.

[ADF-UIX] if Create record fails, it goes to Edit record, WHY????

I must be doing something wrong, because I cant imagine that ADF reacts the way it does within my application.
I have 2 datapages, browseDP and editDP
I have 1 data action, createDA, I dragged the create method from my viewobject here
The flow is as follows:
browseDP(create button) --> createDA --> editDP
browseDP(edit button) --> editDP
This works fine
But when a user presses the create button and the creation of a new record fails, the user
will edit the record where the DB cursor is atm. But the user thinks he's adding a new record.
You can understand that this leads to unwanted situations!
There is no error message given to the user if the creation of a new record fails, it also doesnt
return to the browse screen with an error message. Is this default behavoure of ADF? should I implement
my own error checking mechanism when creation fails???
Is there also a default flow option if a data action fails? I know success is default.
Does anybody have some tips for me, I want to avoid the explained situation.
kind regards

We've found solution to that problem, maybe someone will save few hours thanks to following trick:
1. create UIX page with read-only table showing all the rows from details table
2. Below the table put form that will let user edit currently selected row
3. Insert "Create" submitButton in tableActions of the read-only table
4. Button "Commit" and "Rollback" might be put below input form to save or cancel entered changes
5. Now the tricky thing: instead of using submitButton that is binded to 'Delete' binding, do the following:
a) created binding that deletes current row in detail table
b) put button (not submitButton) and set it's destination property to "?event=mydelete"
3) create event in UIX page that is called 'mydelete' and runs binding 'Delete'
That's all - using that approach, when using clicks 'Add' and then 'Delete' he will not see JBO's saying that he didn't filled in required fields. It's a little bit obscure, but for me it's acceptable :-)

QT Pro - "Recording Failed"

I'm running QT Pro 7.3 under leopard on my MacBook Pro.
Each time I try to record a new audio or a new video, the recorder window comes up fine . But, when I press the red 'record' button, I get a message "Recording Failed. Recording failed to create a movie." I get the same message whether using audio or video recording. It doesn't matter if I manually select internal mic or USB in preferences.
Any advice on how to track this down? I can record in Garage Band, Amadeus Pro and Ubercaster, but QT is best and easiest for my needs.
Thanks.

I figured out the problem - when I transferred the setting from old Mac to my new Mac, the default location for saving recorded files was the desktop. Apparently there is a different file location for 'desktop' in Leopard than in Tiger. So, when I re-pointed the default directory in preferences to 'Desktop' again, that solved the problem.

Quicktime Pro 7.1.5 on MacBook Pro 17inch (Recording failed to create movie

I went into Preferences and changed the camera from the built-in iSight to a USB camera (that works fine with iChat).
When I tried to create a new movie I get the error:
Recording failed.
Recording failer to create a movie
behind the error box I can see a black QT screen.
suggestions? I could have sworn I switched cameras before in QT.

MPB 17in - 3GB Ram - 200 GB Mac OS X (10.4.8) I also have a G5

No really this is an Intel only bug. Hopefully someone at Apple reads this.
I have a USB Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000.
On my G5 this will happily record movies in Quicktime, provide images in IChat and work with Photobooth.
On a February 2006 Macbook Pro, IChat works, Photobooth defaults back to the built in iSight (is there any way of changing this??), it even works with Windows on Parallels, but Quicktime fails as described above with the 'Recording failed to create a movie' message.
Both computers are running MacOS X 10.4.9 patched right up to date.
USB cameras must be supported on current systems - the built in iSight is USB connected!!!

Workflow Action on Before modified record saved

Hi,
When creating a new update action on a workflow for "Before modified record saved", why can I not select a field from the "field to update" pick list that I have renamed?
If I do not rename the field, select it for the field to be updated with my fomula, then go into Admin > App Cust > Record Type > Field Steup and then rename the field and make it appear on the page layout, this works, but if I want to edit the formula for the workflow action, I cannot then select it as per my original issue!
Is this a bug or just the way the system works?
Thanks for any help/advice on this

Ok - further to this, if I use the Indexed Short Text 1 or 2 field and re-name it, then re-name it back to the original field name it does not appear in the list of Fields to be selected for the action when it was listed there originally before I renamed it.
Ideas anyone?

Merging local records with device records failed

Hi,
I have a macbook with OS X 10.4.11 (Intel procesor) I did install the latest Pockect mac for blackberry version (the current one in the Blackberry's page), i use to use the old one, since I did the updated I can't get that both, device and Mac SYNC any item, no contacts, no calendar...
The message I got last time was:
06:06:57:140 merging local records with device records failed.
Could some one with me a light on this bug?
Thanks

Hi rguardia,
Can you try synching one PIM database at a time, e.g. just Contacts by itself, so we can determine which database is experiencing the problem? The error you are receiving is likely being caused by one specific database.
Once you have identified the database that is causing problems, can you perform the steps listed below:
1 - Run Data Purge on the affected database. Data purge can be found in the following location:
Mac HD/users/<Home User>/Library/Application Support/PocketMacSyncManager/Additional Tools.
***Please note this utility will delete all information stored in the selected database on your BlackBerry however once the information has been deleted from your device you can reimport the data to your BlackBerry from the application on your Mac.
2 - Run Sync Clean, which can be found in the same folder as Data Purge.
3 - Disconnect the BB from the Mac, remove the battery from the back of the device, wait 10 seconds then reinsert it
4 - Reboot the Mac
5 - Reconnect your BlackBerry to your Mac
6 - Open PocketMac and select Reset All Devices to First Sync State from the Devices menu
7 - Configure synchronization settings for the affected PIM database, choosing the option to Overwrite Device. If the data is successfully transferred to the device, reconfigure PocketMac back to doing a two-way sync.
If you are still running into the same problem after performing the steps above, try synching one category of the affected database at a time. To do this, click on the tab of the database you are trying to sync, click on Advanced Preferences next to the selected application, and choose the option to sync only selected categories. Try synching with only one category selected at a time, just to see if the issue is related to data within a specific category.
Let us know how you make out!

Records fail to import

Hi All,
When i perform import through import manger.
I get a message that the some records failed to import because they are used in WF.
I understand the reason of failure..However when the Import log pops up on failure of import.
This import log does not seem to give any particular info of which records have failed.
No unique Id of the record.How will i be able to find out ,if i have imported 50000 records and some records fail while importing.
How will i find out which records have failed.?
Thanks
AJ

Hi Amruta
ENABLING TRACING AND AUDIT TRAILS IN THE IMPORT LOG
The Verbose parameter in the mdis.ini file controls how much
information is included in the Import log (see u201CMDIS Configurationu201D on
page 396 for more information about the mdis.ini file).
Settings for the Verbose parameter in are described in Table 91.
Table 91. Verbose Parameter Settings
Setting Hexadecimal Description
Verbose OFF 0x0000 Turns off all verbose settings
Verbose ON 0xFFFF Turns on all verbose settings
FI Verbose 0x0001 Adds verbose field information
XML Verbose 0x0002 Adds verbose XML processing information
MAP Verbose 0x0004 Adds verbose field mapping information
THRD Verbose 0x0008 Turns on STRUCTX, VALUEX, and IMPORTX settings
PARSER Verbose 0x0010 Adds XML/text parser audit trail
STRUCTX Verbose 0x0020 Adds structural exception thread audit trail
VALUEX Verbose 0x0040 Adds value exception thread audit trail
IMPORTX Verbose 0x0080 Adds import exception thread audit trail
CHUNK Verbose 0x0100 Adds chunk processing audit trail
VxR Verbose 0x0020 Adds virtual extended record audit trail
Last option may help you. Also the logs can be accessed via the Server/MDIS/Logs where you can see the Import logs.

Audio recording "failed," need to rescue the AIFF file

I recorded a rather long audio file from the analog audio-in port of my Dual G5 in AIFF format (stereo, 16 bits) using the QuickTime Player. Upon clicking the "Stop Recording" button I got a message dialog "Recording Failed". I copied the file with the Finder before clicking OK, suspecting that QuickTime would delete the file upon clicking OK, which it did do. The copied file is 10.28 GB and contains 11 hr, 35 min, 2 sec of recorded material. Quicktime refuses to open the file, giving me the following message: Alert: QuickTime cannot open the file: "Audio 2 copy.mov" the movie contains an incorrect duration (-2014).
Note that VLC opens the file, knows the exact duration of the audio tracks, and plays it back perfectly fine. I can even jump to different time points to continue playing.
Is there a utility I can use to "repair" the file, so that QuickTime can open it? I hate to discard this file, since it is mostly intact.
Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 3.5 GB DDR SDRAM

Is this dotmac.info bob?
MPEG Streamclip (free) may be able to repair the broken time code.
You could also re-record the file using WireTap. Record while playing the file in VLC. Note: This is "live" recording so it would take a long time. Maybe record in smaller "chunks".

Video Camera Recording Failed

I was trying to take a video with my phone today and every time I pressed the record button a notice would come up saying recording failed. I tried closing the camera and then bringing it back up but it still says recording failed. Anyone have this problem and know how to fix it?

Hi droidcharge1996,
First troubleshooting step will be to reset your phone's camcorder to default settings. From the home screen touch Applications>Camera>Mode(switch to camcorder)>Options>Settings>Reset. Once your settings are reset try using your camcorder.
Additionally, a corrupted SD memory card may be causing the error. Format your SD card. Keep in mind that formatting erases all content from the memory card and prepares it for use with your phone.
1. From the Home screen, press the Menu Key>Settings>SD card & phone storage.
2. Touch Unmount SD card.
3. After unmounting the SD card, touchFormat SD card, then follow the prompts to confirm the formatting of the card.
I trust that the above steps will resolve your phone's camcorder concerns.

Query to check modified records

Hi,
I have a situation, one of my user was running dataload on production database and somehow dataload failed its sequence and opened screens and it was not supposed to. Today, we discovered that some BOM master records were modified and diagnosing the issue from Last_updated_by column and username is pointing to a session of the same user. The conclusion is that dataload might have changed other records too.
To solve this issue, I need to code a SQL that will give me a list of all tables / records in the database that were changed by this user on an particular date.
Can someone please tell me am I safe to get the table name from all_tables or does things work different in APPS 11i?
Thanks
Aali

You may be overcautious.
Typically (but not always), when data load goes out of sync, it is rare that it will affect unrelated entities (unless you had ALT key in the dataload file).
Which screens were you performing data load on? Were they bom screens?
You can use the following
SELECT    'select count(1) '
       || table_name
       || ' from '
       || owner
       || '.'
       || table_name
       || ' where last_update_date > sysdate - 1 and last_updated_by = 11531;'
FROM all_tables AT
WHERE EXISTS (
          SELECT 1
            FROM all_tab_columns atc
           WHERE atc.table_name = AT.table_name
             AND atc.owner = AT.owner
             AND atc.column_name = 'LAST_UPDATED_BY')
   AND EXISTS (
          SELECT 1
            FROM all_tab_columns atc
           WHERE atc.table_name = AT.table_name
             AND atc.owner = AT.owner
             AND atc.column_name = 'LAST_UPDATE_DATE')
   --AND owner IN ('AP','GL','AR','FND')Add code to narrow down the list above otherwise it will return too many records.
Hope this helps,

Modify Record Number in a Random Access File

Hi Does anyone know if I can modify the record number in the random access file hardware.dat for each hardware record each time and update it in hardware.dat to display it? Also why does it say "Record does not exist" if I modify the record number for a hardware and try to update it but could not find that record?

Hi Does anyone know if I can modify the record number
in the random access file hardware.dat for each
hardware record each time and update it in
hardware.dat to display it?If the "record number" is data that is stored in the file, then you can modify it. More precisely: it is possible to modify it.
The rest of the question had too many incompatible verbs for me to understand it.
Also why does it say
"Record does not exist" if I modify the record number
for a hardware and try to update it but could not
find that record?"Record does not exist" is a fairly reasonable error message for the situation where a program looks for a record but cannot find it. Are you asking why that particular lump of code actually does that?

How can I modify Recorded (in MTM) UI tests? Can I modify execution script

Hi,
Introduction:
I have some TestCases in Microsoft Test Manager. I Record the acrions for some test (Test tab > Run test). And Save it (I can re run this test and it do all actions automatically)
Now I want to edit actions associated with Steps. Add checks, refactor them. How Can I do this? In result I need to Open this TestCase Run all its Steps and they should executes using my changes and set result of Steps accordance my checks.
P.S. I know that I can create CodedUI tests from this recordings and change everithings I want but How can I associate this testwith TestCase. Mean Run this TestCase in MTM and see my changes maden in CodedUI Test?
Maybe someone know the place where MTM stores his recordings for TestCases?
The Critical whant is to have ability to change coed which associated with Steps in MTM in any way
Thanks

Hi Roman,
As far as I know, we can’t edit the actions of steps in the MTM, we just can delete the action in the test runner during recording.
As you said that we could modify it through the Coded UI test, for this way, we can associate the modified Coded UI test to the test case and do automated test, we can’t associate it with test case’s steps.
# Associate an Automated Test with a Test Case
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd380741(v=vs.110).aspx
The recorded actions are stored in TFS database, I don’t think it is easy or good to modify the database directly.
I suggest that you could recode the actions again or do automated test.
