ColorSync 72 DPI problem - Create Generic PDFX-3 (Flatten Transparency)

Hi,
I tried to fix 72 DPI problem in native filter "Create Generic PDFX-3 Document" (ColorSync Utility Application).
I made a copy of default filter and changed the +Flatten Transparency+ resolution to higher value 300 DPI.
After ColorSync Utility restart my +Flatten Transparency+ settings were erased (my filter still exist but with no +Flatten Transparency+ value).
I tried both in 10.6.2 and 10.6.3 also in Polish and English localization.
As I know it is a common procedure to prepare PDF/X print-shop ready documents avoiding Adobe Distiller.

You will need to install the abracadabra ColorSync filters to get higher resolution pdfs.
This is a long standing problem with OSX which has default filters set to render all transparency at 72 dpi.
I would not use Pages for commercial printing. The dollars you save on software are quickly gambled away on the press. There is just too little professional support built in and Apple's neglect of Pro tools in OSX is the clincher for me. Stick with Adobe and Quark and avoid OSX's print engine.

Problem creating deployment weblogic 5.1

I have weblogic 5.1 running on Win2K. I can start it up without
problems when the deployment part is commented out.
The jdbc connection seems to be working with a Oracle 8.1.7
running on the same Win2K box.
When I try to deploy some EJBs I get this error on startup:

Generally we get this error when we did not packaged properly, like if use
tool win zip for packaging the bean.
1. when you are building EJB jar, please make sure that you have created a

2. Make sure that you have deployment descriptors in 'META-INF".
3. Use Command line console, java command to package the bean like
"jar -cv0f".
ignore this mail, if you already done this way.

Problem creating a binarize image

Hi,
I have a problem creating a binarized image.
I have an java.awt.Image from Twain (with the Morena Framework) I have to compressing with COMPRESSION_GROUP4. Before I must obtain a binarized RenderedImage.
Before I have need of one single-band image.
With this code I succeed to obtain a single-band image but for acquired images with 100 dpi resolution only and moreover images have inverted colors.
How I can obtain single-band images with resolution larger than 100 dpi?
public static RenderedImage binarizer(RenderedImage img){
        double[][] matrix = {{ 1.0 , 1.0 , 1.0 , 0.0}};
        ParameterBlock pb1 = new ParameterBlock();
        pb1.addSource(img);
        pb1.add(matrix);
        RenderedImage bandCombinedImage = JAI.create("bandcombine",pb1);
        RenderedImage binarizedImg = JAI.create("binarize", bandCombinedImage, new Double(1));
        return binarizedImg;
//..

OK it seems no one can help, so I'll try a different question;
The reason I want to create an encrypted disk image is because I've been everywhere on the 'net' and cant find out how to password protect a folder on my Mac.
This seems like something that should be very straight forward, but for the life of me I cant find what I'm looking for. Every post I read refers to creating an encrypted disk image, or playing with folder permissions - non of which actually achieve the desired result.
Surely its not that hard create a folder that requires a password to be viewed??

Colorsync utility problems

I'm trying to get my printing straightened out on a 10.4.11 system that has been updated from 10.3.9.
Printing was perfect on 10.3.9, but is not good from the Adobe apps on 10.4.11. I put off upgrading to 10.4 as long as I could, because I knew so many folks had so many issues... I finally had to upgrade, and now I am hit.
My printer is an epson R2400. Prints are as expected from a MacBook Pro that has never been upgraded from one system to the next, and also from a test installation of 10.4.11 on a brand new hard drive. It is only the upgraded (via archive and install) system that I can't get straightened out.
Chromix is making some custom profiles for me, and they had me go into colorsync utility to assign Generic RGB as the default profile for the printer. Problem is, the R2400 is listed 3 separate times in Colorsync utility, although it is only listed once in Printer SetUp utility and in System preferences under printing and fax.
Resetting the printing system doesn't clear this up, nor does uninstalling the driver and reinstalling.
I don't know for certain that this is the cause of my color management issues, but it certainly does not seem desirable. The systems on the machines that print correctly do not have duplicate instances of the printer listed in colorsync utility.
I am not able to set a default printer in Colorsync utility, presumably due to this problem. This is the only printer installed, and it is listed as default the other 2 places.
An archive and install did not fix the issue.
Any idea on how to clear this up short of totally starting over with a fresh installation, from scratch? the printers are listed with unique ID's in Colorsync utility, but I don't know how to run anything down from there.

I am not printing with colorsync color management, rather I am using colorsync *utilty* to correct a misapplied color profile in the driver.
This is documented a few places on the web, and it is Chromix's answer to incorrect prints from ALL the Adobe applications... in my case, PS 7, and ALL CS2 and CS3 suite applications. Very specifically, the print error happens with Photoshop 7 and CS2 and CS3, and Illustrator CS2 and CS3, and InDesign CS2 and CS3. The solutions it to be certain that in your print stream, when you check the details of how the print is being sent, that colorsync is set to standard conversion, generic RGB profile, no quartz filter. The way you typically mange this, if the wrong RGB profile is showing, is by resetting it in ColorSync utility.
I am printing a a profiling target, so I am not setting up a conversion from source space to print space. I am sending with color management off.
The reason I didn't mention my workflow settings is that is not the question. The question is how to get rid of the spare printer instances in colorsync utility, becasue i think they are hosing my otherwise correct color settings.
My target print looks like it is being color managed incorrectly, even though all color management is disabled in the Photoshop print dialog and in the print driver. The colors are the correct hue, but they are much too dark.
Chromix has a little application you can print the targets from. Photoshop (all versions) on the system with the colorSync utility problem prints the target too dark compared to the Chromix utility, or to Photoshop on two other systems I have with no colorSync utility duplication of printers.
Again, I am not looking for help with my printing workflow, because that is not the question or problem. My prints are correct on other systems with the same version of software and the same print settings, as long as I can make the needed correction in Colorsync utility first.
the question is how to reset colorsync utility, or otherwise troubleshoot the erroneous feedback it is giving me..

Problems Creating PDFs

A lot of problems creating PDFs come from using the wrong printer to create the PDF or underlying printfile.
You should use Adobe's Distiller printer instance to create a PDF. This comprises the latest Adobe Postscript printer for your operating system plus the Distiller PPD.
Don't use an HP printer to create your PDF. PostScript, or otherwise.
Don't use a Xerox printer to create your PDF. PostScript or otherwise.
See #1.
Note: If you are outputting to a service bureau, you might want to use something other than the Distiller printer instance. However, if you encounter problems with your particular PDFs, try using the official method with the Distiller printer to see whether any problems are limited just to your setup. If problems persist, you might have to create your PostScript output using one printer driver and the PDF using Adobe's Distiller printer instance.
Common problems include:
Black and white, or greyscale, PDFs created from color FrameMaker books and documents.
Distiller terminating the PDF creation process early, thus no PDF is created.
Troubleshooting:
For lack-of-color problems, first check you don't have Spot as Black set in the Frame Print dialog.
Update the printer you are using to the latest Adobe PostScript printer driver version.
Uninstall the printer you are using to create PDFs and to reinstall the latest version from scratch.

FAQ: Creating PDF Files from FrameMaker Documents -- Why you should not use "save as PDF"! -- Windows & MacOS Only!
Dov Isaacs - 07:02pm Dec 6, 2001 Pacific
An issue that has come up over and over again on several FrameMaker and Acrobat/PDF email lists as well on the corresponding Adobe User-to-User forums is that of creation of PDF files. FrameMaker 5.5.6 and 6 have what looks like a convenient feature that is supposed to allow you to create PDF files via simply saving the document as a PDF file. I have gone on record as advising end-users not to use this approach for reliable creation of PDF files from FrameMaker documents under Windows and MacOS with FrameMaker 6 and earlier. Why do I most vociferously offer this advice and why doesn't the problem get fixed? And how SHOULD you create PDF files from FrameMaker?
GOOD NEWS
I will start with the good news. The "next major version" of FrameMaker will indeed have "save as PDF" re-implemented in a manner that it will be as reliable as printing to the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows or the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer under MacOS. I am personally working with the FrameMaker development organization to make sure this really happens and is fully and properly tested and debugged! Furthermore, this next major revision of FrameMaker, unlike FrameMaker 6, will come with a Distiller installer that will properly install the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows and the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer on the Macintosh (of course assuring that the latest PostScript driver is also automatically and correctly installed).
DON'T USE "SAVE AS PDF"
But what's wrong with "save as PDF" as currently implemented?
The following are some of the SYMPTOMS reported over the last few years by FrameMaker users that were traced back to use of "save as PDF" under FrameMaker:
(1) No PDF file is produced at all, possibly with a log file showing not-readily apparent PostScript errors during distillation.
(2) The PDF file "loses" color in images. All or some images (raster, bitmap images, NOT vector artwork) appear in the PDF file in grayscale.
(3) The resultant PDF file is on the wrong paper size, i.e., the document's logical page size does not match the output page size as seen in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
(4) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file is blotchy looking or overly bold.
(5) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file cannot be searched or indexed.
(6) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file appears in Courier or in some other substitution font.
(7) Interword or intercharacter spacing is a bit irregular in the resultant PDF file.
(8) Content is missing in the margin areas of the page, i.e. you cannot do full-page bleeds.
(9) Some or all page content is missing (other than margin areas).
(10) Relatively inefficient PDF is generated.
If this list by itself isn't enough for you, please note that some of these symptoms are very subtle and may escape attention when the PDF is first viewed or printed. Oftimes, it is when one attempts to manipulate the PDF file in Acrobat or repurpose its content or even view or print on a system other than the one on which the PDF file was created, that some of these symptoms make themselves obnoxiously visible (or invisible in some cases I won't make any bad jokes here about graphic examples!).
It is important to understand that FrameMaker does NOT have its own native ability to create PDF. Any and all PDF created from FrameMaker documents is actually done by creating PostScript via the PostScript driver and having the Acrobat Distiller create PDF from that PostScript. The only exception to this is creation of PDF via the Acrobat PDFWriter driver, which is likewise not recommended (see below).
In order for "save as PDF" to work correctly, FrameMaker must do the equivalent of calling Printer Setup and selecting the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows or the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer under MacOS followed by setting the driver's options correctly for paper size, page range, etc., followed by sending the proper commands to the driver to create PostScript.
Contrary to popular belief, PostScript as generated by the Windows and MacOS PostScript drivers is VERY device-dependent. The information in the PPD file associated with a printer driver instance provides critical parameters for generation of PostScript including:
Whether the printer supports color (Acrobat Distiller does)
What PostScript language level is supported (Acrobat Distiller 4.x and Acrobat Distiller 5.x are both PostScript language level 3)
Whether native TrueType support is available (Acrobat supports native TrueType as Type 42 fonts)
Available binary communications (Acrobat Distiller supports pure binary and ASCII, but NOT TCP, TBCP, or PJL)
Resident fonts (Acrobat Distiller doesn't really have resident fonts)
Available paper sizes and custom paper size availability (Acrobat Distiller supports a wide range of predefined sizes and continually variable "custom" sizes up to 200" by 200")
Margins / printable areas (for PDF and the Acrobat Distiller, there are no margins in which imaging is not permitted)
Device resolution (Acrobat Distiller can be set to any value from 72 to 4000 dpi; as a convenience, the Acrobat Distiller PPD provides a series of values for use by the driver. Since there is no inherent "resolution" of a PDF file, this parameter is used only for purposes of allowing PostScript programs that query for such a value to be satisfied and for the driver to be able to communicate this value to the operating system and/or application as required.)
Paper handling (totally irrelevant to Acrobat Distiller if input or output tray selection via "setpagedevice" is found in the PostScript stream, it is ignored by Acrobat Distiller)
Thus, if the wrong printer driver instance is selected (i.e., it isn't associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD file) or that driver instance is improperly configured, improper PostScript will result and one or more of the symptoms described above can occur. As currently implemented, FrameMaker depending upon version will not necessarily choose the correct printer driver instance and/or correctly parameterize the print job via driver setup options. In fact, FrameMaker 5,5,6 might even try to generate PDF via calling a PCL driver, FAX driver, or even a non-PostScript inkjet printer!
DON'T USE PDFWRITER
The Acrobat PDFWriter is a relic of older versions of Acrobat. In fact, it is no longer installed by default in the "easy install" or the "typical install" of Acrobat 5. It hasn't really be updated since Acrobat 3 and only supports PDF 1.2. It is a GDI (Windows) / QuickDraw (MacOS) driver that directly generates PDF without any intermediary PostScript. Since it is not a PostScript printer driver, applications cannot pass through EPS graphics and/or PDFMark information (used for a wide variety of purposes by FrameMaker). For EPS graphics, most applications will send the low resolution TIFF (or PICT) EPS header in lieu of the PostScript text, if they send anything at all, to the driver. Forget about links, structure, or any other PDF "goodies." Expect that PDFWriter will fully "bite the dust" in the next major version of Acrobat.
SO HOW DO I GENERATE PDF FILES FROM FRAMEMAKER 6 & EARLIER?
The ONLY method that is really reliable for producing PDF files with FrameMaker 6 and earlier requires the generation of PostScript via a properly set printer driver instance associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD and distillation of the resultant PostScript by Acrobat Distiller.
Case 1: FrameMaker and the Full Acrobat 4.05 or Acrobat 5.0x Products
PDF file from a "chapter" -- print directly to the Acrobat Distiller printer instance (Windows) or the Create Adobe PDF desktop printer (MacOS) already installed by Acrobat. If you check the "Acrobat data" option, then make sure to UNcheck the "print to file" option that gets set at the same time. As a result, the driver will automatically send the generated PostScript to the Distiller for you and delete the intermediate PostScript when done.
PDF file from a "book" -- print directly to the Acrobat Distiller printer instance with the "print to file" option checked (Windows) or the Virtual Printer desktop printer (MacOS) associated with the Distiller PPD (see details below under Case 2/MacOS). You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
In both the above sub-cases, the default driver options generally will be OK, but check on paper size and communication protocol (Use pure binary, not ASCII, for optimal performance AND no CTRL-D characters under Windows. Make sure to set Level 3 only and Binary under MacOS. Font inclusion "All" for Acrobat 4.05 and "None" for Acrobat 5 under MacOS.). With Acrobat 4.05, make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. With Acrobat 5, you can set this on a job-by-job basis via the driver printer setup interface (or print dialog on MacOS).
Case 2: FrameMaker 6 and the Bundled Acrobat 4.05 Distiller
Windows -- Create a new printer driver instance using the latest version of the Adobe Universal PostScript Driver Installer, downloadable from Adobe's web site AND the Acrobat Distiller PPD file (located in the XTRAS subdirectory of the Distiller directory). This driver instance should be set to print to the local port named "FILE:". Name this driver instance as "Acrobat Distiller". The default driver options generally will be OK, but check on paper size and communication protocol (use pure binary, not ASCII, for optimal performance AND no CTRL-D characters). Make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. Print directly to this Acrobat Distiller printer instance. Make sure that the "print to file" option is checked.

Problem with Generic Extratcor - Function Module

Hi Experts,
We have created Generic Extractor using Funcion Module to Load Inventory related data into BW.When we check in Extract Checker its show 330 records.When we check in table for that logic by material we got the same records as 330.The problem is when we extract into BW we are getting more then 695,000 records.Can somebody please tell us where the problem is .Thanks
Vahgar

Hi,
Check in the load monitor, how many records are populated from source system, and how many are populated after transfer and update rules. Maybe there is your problem, not in the extractor but in the transfer/update.
Hope it helps.

Diego

Problem Creating Hyperlink to another workbook

I am having a problem creating a hyperlink to a worksheet in another workbook.
Here is what I have done:
Created the master and detail reports in 2 different workbooks.
Executed the master worksheet to display the data
Right clicked the field in the first row where I want to create the hyperlink, and chose Manage Links
Clicked the New Link button
Chose Worksheet for Where do you want to link to?
Clicked Browse by the Destination Worksheet
Clicked the detail report from the list of workbooks but the select button is grayed out
Does anyone have any idea why it won't let me select the detail report to link to?
I have OracleBI Discoverer Plus 10g
Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

Yes, I did add a parameter to the detail report so that I could get detail just for that one item. The part that is giving me trouble is specifying the Destination workbook/worksheet. I see the detail report when I browse but the Select button is grayed out so I haven't made it to the part where you identify what values to pass to the detail report yet.

I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to iCloud, following your instructions and now I can not use my mobileme e-mail address. How can I contact directly with Apple, not just an automatic reply phone number

I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to icloud following all your instructions and now I can not use my mobile me e-mail address. I can not activate icloud because when I put my e-mail address it answers that somebody is already using my address. I have my old e-mails, but I can not receive any e-mail or send them.
I have contacted Apple Technical Support in Spain and I was sent an e-mail saying that I have to call a phone number and when I call it is always an answering machine who answers that says that I have to pay 50€ for a consultation or wait for 10 minutes. When I have made the consultation it was never mentioned that I have to pay 50€ for a phone consultation. If I don't want to wait I have to pay for the Apple Tecnical Support which cost 250 €, this was not mentioned in the technical support page.
Can somebody let me know how can I contact Apple in another way in order to talk with a human being or chat directly? I was very happy just using my mobileme e-mails, I didn't need any clouds and I was force by Apple to registered if I want to continue using my mobileme e-mail address.

Problem creating Allocation Table with Reference to a PO

Dear Folks,
I am having problems creating an allocation table with reference to a PO in T-code WA01.
I read the SAP help that some prerequisites need to exist:
==> You can only reference order items flagged as being relevant to a stock split (the Allocation table relevant indicator in the additional item data).
Can anyone advice me where to find this stock split indicator?
Also, can anyone advice me how to reuse an allocation table? For example, I had previously created an allocation table with many articles and various allocation rules. I already generated follow on documents for this table.
Say after 2 weeks, I have the similar requirements that I can make use of the same table, only with minor adjustments to the quantity. How do I create a new allocation table using the existing allocation table data?
Thanks and Regards
Junwen

Any idea please?

Problem creating Network ACL for a ROLE in Oracle 11gR2

According to Oracle Documentation when you create a new Network ACL you can add privileges to a user or role. I need to create a new ACL for the UTL_SMTP package for a specific role, but when I granted it the users who have that role are still getting the "ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL)" error when they try to send an email. If I grant the ACL privilege to the same users directly it works fine. Is there any step I'm missing? This is the test I have made on my Solaris 10 - Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.3) Standard Edition server:

I'm aware that role privileges doesn't apply inside procedures, functions or packages by default, but this is an anonymous block so it should use the active roles for the user. I also tried adding a "dbms_session.set_role('TESTACL_ROLE');" at the beggining of the anonymous PL/SQL block but I got the same access error.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give to me on this question, it would be very hard to grant the ACL to all the individual users as they are more than 1000, and we create more regularly.

Thanks for your quick reply... I don't have a problem creating the basic ACL with the privileges granted for a user. The problem appears when I try to create an ACL with privileges for a ROLE. You can see here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25788/d_networkacl_adm.htm#BABIGEGG than the official Oracle documentation states that you can assign the ACL principal to be a user or role:
Parameter
Description
acl
Name of the ACL. Relative path will be relative to "/sys/acls".
description
Description attribute in the ACL
principal
Principal (database user or role) to whom the privilege is granted or denied. Case sensitive.
My issue is that when I try to create the ACL for a role it doesn't work.
Have you ever created an ACL for a role? if so please send me an example or let me know which step I might be missing. Cheers.

Problem creating hierarchy based on 2 physical dimension tables

I'm having a problem creating 1 logical dimension with a drill-down hierarchy, based on two separate physical dimension tables. The errors I receive when navigating the drill-down hierarchy is:
"Cannot find logical table source coverage for logical columns" &
"Missing join between logical tables".
I'm using OBIEE 10.1.3.4
Here are the details of what I have setup sofar:
Physical layer:
Dimension table DIM_ORG with columns:
-dimension_key
-org_total_code
-org_total_description
-org_detail_code
-org_detail_description
Dimension table DIM_DEPT with columns:
-dimension_key
-dept_total_code
-dept_total_description
-dept_detail_code
-dept_detail_description
Fact table FACT_SALES with columns:
-fk_org
-fk_dept
-sum_sales
Physical Joins:
FACT_SALES.fk_org = DIM_ORG_dimension_key
FACT_SALES.fl_dept = DIM_DEPT.dimension_key
Business Model & Mapping layer:
I created a logical dimension ORG_DEPT. It contains two logical table sources (DIM_ORG & DIM_DEPT) and the following logical columns:
- All Departments (mapped to dept_total_code)
- Organisation (mapped to org_detail_description)
- Organisation Number (mapped to org_detail_code)
- Department (mapped to dept_detail_description)
- Department Code (mapped to dept_detail_code)
The business logical key is based on the combination of Organisation Number & Department Code
The hierarchy I need is: All Departments -> Organisation -> Department so I created the following hierarchy for ORG_DEPT:
- Total Level containing: All Departments
- Organisation Level containing: Organisation Number (defined as the Logical level key) & Organisation (defined als the Drill level key)
- Detail Department Level containing: Department Code (defined as Logical level key) and Department (defined as Drill level key).
In the LTS of the dimension ORG_DEPT I've set the Content levels for the sources:
DIM_ORG : Organisation Level
DIM_DEPT: Detail Department Level
In the LTS no -inner- joins have been added against related physical tables.
I created a logical fact table SALES (based on the physical fact table) and joined it against the logical dimension table ORG_DEPT.
In the LTS the Content level for ORG_DEPT is set against the Detail Department Level. No - inner- joins have been aded against related physical tables.
When I create a report in Answers to test the hierachy and select only 'All Departments' I get the correct dimension value returned. When I try to drill to the next level I get the following ODBC error:
"Cannot find logical table source coverage for logical columns: [All Departments]. Please check more detailed level keys are mapped correctly".
When I create a report in Answers and select both 'All Departments' and 'Sales' I get the correct result. When I try to drill to the next level I get a different ODBC error:
"Missing join between logical tables DIM_DEPT and DIM_DEPT: There must be at least one physical join link between the underlying physical tables".
Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks!

Hello Robert,
Your suggestions were known to me but I still wanted to combine the two physical dimension tables in one logical dimension. So I've played around a bit more and found the solution: In my original setup I had two seperate logical table sources (one for each physical dimension table). The solution was to combine the two logical table sources in one logical table source. I achieved that by logical joining the DIM_DEPT table to the FACT_SALES table and subsequently to the DIM_ORG within the 1 LTS and using inner joins.
Then I created the logical table key (a combination of org_detail_code & dept_detail_code). After that I could create the hierarchy with no problem.

Problem Creating VirtualProviders Based on the DTP

Problem Creating VirtualProviders Based on the Data Transfer Process .
(1) I have created an Data Source(extract structure and extractor) on SYS1. Tested the extractor. It returns data as desired.
(2) Then I replicated this Data Source to SYS2.
(3) In SYS1 I created InfoCube(VirtualProvider based on data transfer process for direct access) .
Till this point I have no issues .
(4) But after that I am not able to "Create Data Transfer Process" for this Virtual Infoprovider . When I try to create DTP the DTP type available for selection is "Scheduled" where as per the documentation I need to create DTP of DTP type "DTP for Direct Access".This DTP type I donot see.
Is it a problem with the BW configuration or some user error.Any suggestions which may help would be realy appreciated.
