Create/Open Workbook dialog performance
Hi,
We use Discoverer Plus (Application Server version v10.1.2.2) and we have around 20,000 workbooks. All these workbooks are shared amoung all the user, in other words all the discoverer users have access to all these 20,000 workbooks.
We are experiencing a slight delay (20-30 sec) while opening "Create/Open Workbook dialog" in discoverer plus. This dialog appears automatically when the discoverer plus is launched. We area also experiencing a slight delay (20-30 sec) when we try to open "Open workbook from database" dialog. This can be opened using File/Open or Click Browse button from "Create/Open Workbook dialog".
Please suggest any solution to improve the performance of this or any configuration in discoverer plus that supresses the "Create/Open Workbook dialog" that apprears automatically when discoverer plus is launched.
Any suggestions is much appreciated.
Regards
Sriram
Hi Michael,
Thanks a lot for the details.
We are following this approach. We have three catagories of users and they are as follows:
Super -> All the discoverer plus permissions are assigned ( Create/modify/schedule and all the other Plus permissions).
ReadWrite -> Only Create/modify workbook (Scheduling not allowed)
View -> Only to run the workbooks created by the above two users.
We have created three database users for discoverer and assigned appropriate permission in Administrator and created public connections for these users.
Discoverer is accessed from our application (by clicking a menu item provided in our bespoke application). The application users are maintained within the application and we also have a security module which restricts the use access to application. In that security module we have three roles (as above) created for discoverer purpose and users will be given permission to one of the roles. When the user invokes discoverer from application, it decides which discoverer user to be used based on the discoverer role assigned and launches discoverer plus.
Please note each application belong to an organisation.
We follow naming convention when the workbooks are created, the organisation specific workbooks starts with the organisation name + workbook details. All the workbooks are shared to all the above users, so that it is accessible to all the categories of users. The basic idea is, user logs in to discoverer plus and click browse button in the Create/Open workbook dialog and search for their organisation workbook by typing in thier organisation name and then select the workbook to run.
The problem that we are facing here is the amount of time it takes (15-20 sec) to open "Create/Open workbook" dialog and "Open workbook from database" dialog window.
I have checked all the indexes are in place and added a composite index as well. It takes the same time. Is there any way we can supress Create/Open workbook dialog window when Discoverer Plus is launched?

How to create open file dialog for choosing file in application server?

Problem refreshing query when opening workbook in VBA
I have a report menu in a workbook not containing any queries - only the description, technical name and additional information about the reports.
I use Run ("SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXreadWorkbook"), <TECHNICAL_NAME> to open the respective workbooks, which works fine.
However, if I try to refresh the query, BEx displays a message saying:
"Can only refresh this query agains a server of release 2.0 or higher: <QUERY DESTINATION RANGE>"
We're using BW 3.5!
After that, BEx is a complete mess:
- Open workbook dialog is from a previous version (without History, Favorites, Roles buttons)
- All workbooks are displayed, but if I try to open one, BEx claims that "The workbook does not exist in the document store". Then why display it, dear SAP programmers?
Now, if I disconnect and reconnect, the query can be refreshed as if I had opened the workbook directly instead of using VBA.
Our users like the idea of a report menu, so any help would be appreciated!Changed the error handling as follows, dropped the SAPBEXinitConnection function, which is completely redundant:
Sub OpenWBTechName()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Run ("SAPBEX.XLA!SAPBEXreadWorkbook"), <TECHNAME>
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
If Err.Number = 1004 Then ExtraInfo = "Start BEx Analyzer!"
res = MsgBox("Sorry, could not open requested report!" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & ExtraInfo, vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, "Open SAP/BW workbook report: ERROR!")
End Sub -
Photoshop CS2 opens but wont perform any task (open jpgs, create new jpgs etc). Other CS2 progs such as indesign are fine. MAC shop, couldn't fix, said I should try install op system 4 Powerbook G4-dont have discs- can I get them? or other solution? Am using OS 10.4.11 Thanks for any help
Hi
I actually dont think its Lion (sorry i put that as couldn't remember) as not on that computer at the moment, its at home, I am at work. I know CS2 is compatable with whatever OS I am using because I can using CS2 indesign etc and I was able to use CS2 photoshop until I updated the Camino browser (I believe this is when it stopped working). I have CS5 but it wont work at all on my Powerbook G4.
I can send a message later with the OS I am using and maybe you can suggest other help? They told me in the MAC shop to try and get the installation discs. They also said I would be able to get these via Apple's 'media replacement programme' which I cannot find anyway! To be honest, I am not even sure getting the install discs will work but I'll try whatever I need to try and get Photoshop working on it again!

Trying to create multithreading problems when opening file dialog
Warning: Newbie to Labview...
I have a problem in a rather complicated VI where bringing up the open file dialog halts some background operations.
I would really like to reproduce this behaviour for various reasons, but am unable to. I've created a simple VI with a for-loop where the index feeds a sine converter which in turn feeds a tank indicator. This produces an oscillating behaviour. To this VI I've added a file dialog control.
Regardless of the multithreading setup, I'm unable to get the oscillating of the tank indicator to stop when the dialog is open. Is there something I can do to get this behaviour? I realize it's unusual to try to break things, but it is rather important for me.
Tha
nk you,
NigelHi,
The for loop (all loops by the way) is halted until everything in it is
finished.
Try this:
+ Make a while loop
+ wire TRUE to the stop criterium.
+ Put an indicator on the 'I'.
+ Put a MS Wait in it (e.g. 80 ms), to prevent 100% processor time.
Run it, and the indicator will increase fast.
Now put any dialog in the while loop. E.g. a message box.
The indicator will increase everytime you press 'OK'.
Note: stop by pressing CTRL+. and clicking 'OK' several times.
Regards,
Wiebe.

Hi friends, I have just started working on Oracle discoverer 9.0.4.
I have already created the normal workbooks and distribute the reports using discoverer viewer.
But I want to know that How I can create the "scheduled workbooks". I have found about opening a scheduled workbook but nothing about their creation ?
Please guide me, what I should do in order to create scheduled workbook.Hi Nirav
Providing you have the necessary privileges there are two ways to schedule a workbook.
To schedule the current open workbook, from the menu bar select File | Schedule.
To schedule any workbook, from the menu bar select File | Manage Workbooks | Scheduling Manager, then click the button Schedule
At this point you will be in the Schedule Workbook dialog box and you can now set up your scheduling.
If the above options are grayed out then you have either not been granted the schedule workbooks option by your administrator or the scheduling database priviliges have not been granted, or the DBA has disabled the ability to run jobs.
Let's look at the above in turn.
To check whether you have been granted the schedule workbooks option, follow this workflow:
1. Launch the Admin edition
2. From the menubar, select Tools | Privileges
3. Make sure you are on tab called Privileges
4. Use the drop down and select the user who needs to be allowed to schedule
5. Make sure the Schedule Workbooks button is checked
6. Click OK
The database privileges that control scheduling are:
CONNECT
RESOURCE
CREATE PROCEDURE
CREATE TABLE
CREATE VIEW
EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE
EXECUTE ON SYS.DBMS_JOB
SELECT ON V_$PARAMETER
SELECT ANY TABLE
UNLIMITED TABLESPACE
Here is a database create user script that sets up the privileges required for a user:
create user username identified by password
default tablespace TOOLS
temporary tablespace TEMP
quota unlimited on TOOLS;
grant connect, resource, execute any procedure, select any table to username;
grant execute on SYS.DBMS_JOB to username;
grant SELECT on SYS.V_$PARAMETER to username;
grant create procedure, create table, create view to username;
Also do not try and grant the two SYS privileges via a Role. These must be granted direct to the user.
At the database level, make sure that your DBA has set the database initialization parameter called JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES to something greater than zero, I would recommend 10. If it is zero then you won't be able to schedule. At the minimum, for scheduling it needs to be at least 2.
Hope this helps
Regards

Open File dialog window when setting the value of a path type input argument in a VI call
Hi,
I am new to TestStand (running 4.0) and I want to create a sequence of VIs to turn on, setup and measure a device. One of my VIs sends a configuration file to my device. An input argument to this VI is the path of the config file. I would like to make it simple to modify this path when setting up the sequence by popping up the File Open dialog window and choose my file. Is this possible? I do not want to manually change the file during execution, just to have multiple calls of one VI, each call opening a different file according to the path given to it during the setup.
So far I have only succeeded in manually entering the absolute path each time I add this step. What makes it even more annoying is the fact that LabVIEW interprets the path with the escape codes, rendering the path unusable. Manually adding a 2nd backslash at each '\' occurence adds another step to the process. I tried both String and Path type of inputs, and the SearchandReplace() or ToUpper() (trying to bypass the escape codes) functions in TestStand don't seem to help m.
Your help is very much appreciated,
FredEudaemonic,
If you want to create a series of easy to configure step types so others can develop sequence files easily, you could use custom step types. When you create a custom step type you implement your own configuration dialog. Since you have control over what controls you expose in your configuration dialog, you can design it so the desired path is selected using a open file dialog. Refer to chapter 13 of the TestStand reference manual for more information about custom step types.
If you do not want to create a custom step type but you still want to give access to your sequence developers to pre-configured steps, you can use templates. A step template is a snapshot of a step that you can reuse later. Let's assume that instead of asking your users to edit the step to enter the desired path, you create several step templates with different pre-configured paths and based on their applications requirements they could use the appropriate template. Refer to the NI TestStand Help for more information about the Templates list on the Insertion Palette.
Hope it helps.

Open/Save Dialog, 9 min. Beachball Freeze
I am running OS 10.10.2 on a March 2009 iMac with 8GB RAM and 1TB HD.
PROBLEM: While working in Illustrator 18 (CC 2014), if I choose File > Open, the Open dialog appears but I get the spinning beachball for 9 minutes before file contents appear. I don't have the same problem in Photoshop or any other app. But after Googling, I see that a number of people have posted similar Console Log messages (see below) when using in a variety of apps in Yosemite, even in Apple's own Mail app. This tells me the root problem may not be specific to Illustrator, even though it only affects Illustrator in my case currently.
WHAT I TRIED:
1) Moved all Adobe Illustrator related PLISTS and preference files and folders to the Desktop and then launched Illustrator. I saw Illustrator rebuild new prefs files and all settings reverted back to stock. This proves my moving of the prefs to the Desktop was successful to cause a rebuild of new prefs and PLISTS. Even so, the BeachBall freeze appeared when I did a File > Open.
2) Rebooted with SHIFT held down (Safe Mode). But the beachball problem remains.
3) Disconnected all USB devices except keyboard/mouse, and turned off WiFi and BlueTooth, and even yanked my Ethernet cable. I also turned off Time Machine and Default Folder. But the problem remains, even through a reboot.
4) I removed DropBox and GoogleDrive and I closed all apps other than Illustrator, but to no avail.
5) Tried a Guest User, but that doesn't work with Adobe Apps. Ditto for a Standard user. You get an error dialog when you try to launch Adobe apps with that kind of user. So I then created an Admin user. Illustrator's Open dialog box displays files perfectly, as normal! A NEW ADMIN USER FIXES THE PROBLEM!
So a new Admin user fixes the beachball problem in the Open dialog, but for my normal Admin user there's the 9 min. beachball problem. And yet, SAFE MODE doesn't fix the problem while in my normal User. And neither does deleting Illustrator prefs. So it's clear there's still something lurking in my primary user account that is absent in the new Admin user account. But what? And how can I find it? (Migrating everything to a new User account is no easy task.)
Pertinent section of CONSOLE system.log:
Mar 6 13:27:03 iMac.local WindowServer[151]: disable_update_likely_unbalanced: UI updates still disabled by application "Adobe Illustrator CC 2014" after 15.00 seconds (server forcibly re-enabled them after 1.00 seconds). Likely an unbalanced disableUpdate call.

I get the exact same set of messages that you see above every time I try to reproduce the problem, simply by doing a File > Open in Illustrator.
I assume AFP is Apple File Protocol? But what "server" is it trying so desperately in vain to "Get"? And why is a DNS resolver being used?
Anyway, as you can see from the Console log above, the beachball in the Open/Save dialog in Illustrator goes away after 534 seconds (about 9 min.). But it reappears each time I try to go to a new folder on my HD within that Open dialog. Each time takes exactly 534 seconds each time for the stupid beachball to go away when changing folders in the Open dialog.
This beachball freeze (for 9 min.) in Illustrator's Open dialog occurred every once and a while over the last several weeks, but now it consistently happens. And no, I've not installed any new software on my iMac other than Yosemite updates.
Once again, I would prefer to fix the root problem in my primary user account rather than migrate to a New User even though I now know a new Admin user account resolves the problem.
Please help.With regard to my cry for help...
Pretty please?
Here are links to other apps which show the same Console Log messages that I am seeing, proving this is not an issue exclusive to a single app:
Vmware & OS 10.10.2
Pertaining to networked HD's
Shared Mac on a Network
Prevents Time Capsule access and kills Time Machine too
OS 10.10 & Time Capsule woes
OS 10.9.2 & NAS woes
Yosemite & Time Capsule woes
iPhoto woes after Migration
More Time Capsule woes
Time Machine woes from Germany (translated)
mDNSResponder stuck in restart loop
If you read through all the above like I did, you're probably very tired by now. But if you had the same problem as I do, you would do anything to resolve it, hence my post here. So again, I plead for your kind help and attention to this problem!
The above links do tell me one thing, that a "network error" is at the heart of the Console log messages and my problem. And that remains true even when I've disconnected from the network entirely, leading me to believe that this is some sort of CACHING BUG. For truly, there is a Time Capsule at my office, and I do use Time Machine (although not saving to the TC but instead to an external FW HD). So... It is my guess that Yosemite has cached some network data it doesn't like and tries to access that data from a cache when the Open Dialog appears in Illustrator. But WHY ILLUSTRATOR in my case? It makes no sense to me at all. I would think it should consistently occur in the Open dialogs of all apps, but it's only in Illustrator.
I did have problems with my Time Machine backups after putting Yosemite on my iMac, but those issues were resolved in the 10.10.2 update.
In any case, if indeed it is a CACHING BUG, how then would I clear that stupid, evil cache?
Again, I would appreciate your kind thoughts and advice.
Thank you! -
Open/save dialog boxes not working correctly.
Environment: CS6 (PS 13.0.1) Mac OS X 10.7.5. Plenty of hardware. (Generally starting with .CR2 RAW.)
Two open/save problems
Recently (maybe since the 13.0.1 update??), I have been having problems with the open and save as dialog boxes.
First. The open file dialog always defaults to Enable: blank (i.e. no file types enabled). Each time I have to go to the bottom of the dropdown list and select "All readable documents" before I can open ANY type of file. I've searched in everyway I can think of looking for some method to have OPEN default to "all readable" but can't find anyway to do this. Anyone have a suggestion? I admit this is a nuisance more than anything, but when whipping around at deadline having to stop each time and make this change is irritating. No other program has this difficulty (including Illustrator and InDesign). PS5.5 did not exhibit this behavior on the same machine.
Second. When I save as and try to select any file format, say going from psd to tiff, the format dropdown list ALWAYS selects the format ABOVE the one I choose. Example: If I select JPEG, PS tries to save as .iff. If I pull the selection down to JPEG2000 it will then save as standard JPEG. Again just an irritant but, tiff (which I need for several other programs) is last on the list thus there is no way I can go one below it to get tiff format selected. It always comes out as png. Also note that the Format selection indicates the correct format - in the case of tiff the dialog box shows TIFF selected, but the program is apending .png. (Continuing the save as (without altering my selection) always results in the incorrect format no matter what the Format dialog says in the save as operation.) Again, no other program I work with (including several Adobe products) exhibits this behavior.
I seriously need to be able to save as tiff. Anyone with any thoughts on this?
Thanks much,
RobertI appreciate all responses particularly from an "Official Adobe" human being!
Unfortunately, a significant amount of effort has been expended with no joy here.
I have done the following;
(1) examined every plug-in folder for duplicates - None found
(2) deleted the symlinks (aliases) Topaz created referencing their plug-ins in /Library/Application Support
(3) reinstalled the Topaz bundle - no change
(4) Spoke at length with Topaz support and have been assured that all of their plug-ins are CS6 compatible.
(5) Have had the same conversation with Nik regarding their 2 plug-ins - assured that they are compatible.
Frankly I'm stumped here. I've combed my system in everyway I can without any change in PS behavior - on Open it defaults to blank and "Save as" selects the wrong format.
Question for the experts. Would deleting PS completely and then reinstalling make a difference or am I now in uncharted territory and on my own?
Thanks for all assistance,
Robert
Still need to save as TIFF but can't seem to get there. -
One more thing:
What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.
Please obsolete or (re)develop components in Windows, so those components support any new workflows in Windows!
On example of an application where you cannot use Favorites is Adobe Photoshop. It uses the Common Open File Dialog Box in Windows (which does not support Favorites).
Comparing Finder (MacOS) with Windows Explorer - you "seem" to have the option of using favorites to pin folders.
Well, if your application calls Windows to use the Common Open File Dialog Box - it's actually NOT POSSIBLE AT ALL to navigate to the user concepts (user folders) pinned to favorites.
Again, the favorites namespace is completely unused (not provisioned) out-of-the-box. That's may be ok, however it's not fully implemented across Windows and just another example of stuff accumulating up to being unusable.
What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.

If I create a jsp page with an open file dialog will it work no matter what OS people are running? What I want to do is attach a file. It would be preferrable if I could set a "working" directory and when I open up the dialog it starts in that directory. It has to work with Windows, Macs, and Linux . If there is no way to set the "working" directory, can a cookie be created that remembers the last directory accessed from the page so that when they open up the dialog it opens up under the last directory accessed?
there is a html input type that sparks up the OS native filechooser. Thus, it should be platform independent. You should look into Apache Commons FileUpload, as it makes the process of uploading/sending files ridiculously easy.

Discoverer Desktop (4)- Receiving error Attempt to Open Workbook Failed
Hi,
The reason for this error is multiple people are opening same workbook. This has never been a problem before as the user would receive message: "Open Workbook as Read Only..."
Now they only get the message: "Attempt to Open Workbook Failed."
We have tested here and have determined it is not a generell issue because we have the problem only on two workstations.
I check the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER for diffenerence between the workstations but without any success.
There is no file access problem
Any idea?
Thx
ArndHi all,
We are having exactly the same problem. I've come to the point that there's a problem between Discoverer Desktop 4i and XP SP3.
The scenario we have is:
a) If an user with SP2 creates a workbook and saves it into the network shared folder,
a.1) It can be opened by users with SP2 as many times as the want. They just receive the "Open Workbook as Read Only" warning message.
a.2) Users with SP3 can open it only if the workbook is not open by any other user. After that all users receive the "Attempt to Open..." error message.
a.3) If a user with SP3 makes any change to the workbook and saves it, it doesn't matter which SP version you have, the file becomes "corrupt" and only one user can open it at the same time.
b) If an user with SP3 creates a workbook and saves it into the network shared folder it can only be opened by one user at the same time
I've also made tests and the same error occurs if the .dis file is located in a local directory (c:\My Documents for example). I can not open it twice in my computer in two different discoverer desktop instances, and I have SP3, while another user with SP2 can.
Any ideas? Our Discoverer Desktop version is 4.1.48.06.00

SQL query or view used internally by Discoverer Open Workbook from Database
Hi Experts,
I am involved in developing a web application wherein I have to display the 'All Workbooks' similiar functionality in the 'Open Workbook from Database' dialog box of Discoverer. Can anybody provide me with the background query or view that Discoverer uses to retrieve this data for workbook listing? Please let me know if my question is confusing and requires more details.

ThomasHi,
If you just need the list of workbooks then you need to use the EUL_DOCUMENT table:
SELECT u.User_Name Owner_Name

WHERE Own_Usr.Eu_Id = Doc.Doc_Eu_Id AND
To_Char(u.User_Id(+)) = Substr(Own_Usr.Eu_Username
*,2*
*,10);*
If you want the exact same list then you need to do the above along with the sharing :
SELECT DISTINCT
case when instr(disco_docs.doc_created_by,'#')=0 then disco_docs.doc_created_by
when instr(disco_docs.doc_created_by,'#')>0 and instr(disco_docs.doc_created_by,'#',2)=0 then (select fu.user_name from fnd_user fu where fu.user_id=substr(disco_docs.doc_created_by,2,5))
else NULL
end "Workbook Owner/Creator",
disco_docs.doc_name "Workbook Name",
disco_docs.Doc_Updated_Date "Last Update Date",
case when instr(disco_users.eu_username,'#')=0 then disco_users.eu_username
when instr(disco_users.eu_username,'#')>0 and instr(disco_users.eu_username,'#',2)=0 then (select fu.user_name from fnd_user fu where fu.user_id=substr(disco_users.eu_username,2,5))
else (select resp.responsibility_name from fnd_responsibility_tl resp where resp.responsibility_id=substr(disco_users.eu_username,2,5))
end as "Shared Name / Responsibility"
FROM
eul_us.eul5_documents disco_docs,
eul_us.eul5_access_privs disco_shares,
eul_us.eul5_eul_users disco_users
WHERE
disco_docs.doc_id = disco_shares.gd_doc_id (+)
and disco_users.eu_username(+) NOT IN ('EUL5', 'PUBLIC')
AND disco_users.eu_id(+) = disco_shares.ap_eu_id;
* Change the EUL_US to your discoverer schema...
Then you will need to compare the current user with the sharing list or creator
Good luck

A critical program error has occured while opening workbook
Dear friends,
A critical error has occured while opening workbook. The issue is that the same workbook is opening in some one machine but not in others.The following Dialog box is poping out when tried to open workbook:
"A critical program error has occured.The Program will now terminate.Please refer to trace for further information."
However,i did the full updation of service pack3 of MS Excel 2003 on my machine and the same version as on that particular machine(on which workbook is opening). The problem is still there.Please provide some solution.
Thankx a lot in advance!!!
regards,
Sandeep SinglaThe machine where the workbook is opening has a GUI :-
Release : "710 Final Release"
File Version : 7100.2.7.1038
Build : 967944
Patch Level : 7
and the machine where the critical program error is coming has a GUI :-
Release : "710 Final Release"
File Version : 7100.2.8.1039
Build : 983952
Patch Level : 8
The Excel 2003 are similar in both the machines as the service pack3 has been installed in the machine where workbook was not opening.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandeep Singla

HELP: "Fitting" toolbar buttons not showing up in CS5
Hi All, I can't figure out how to get this to work. The toolbar buttons in CS5 are a bit different than those that show up when I am in CS4 and I am not familiar with the changes. I like the "fit content to frame", "fit content proportionally", etc.
