Creating a dichotomous key in Indesign

I'm working on a taxonomic dichotomous key. InDesign has already been useful for figure numbering and layouts for this project, but I'm wondering if anyone can help me to construct a full blown automatic #ing dicho. key in InDesign. I'm a relative novice, so the more explicitly things can be spelled out the better (I am pretty familiar with paragraph and character styles, master layouts, etc). An example of a dichotomous key is included below to illustrate what it should accomplish. Thank you!
1. Organism is living........................................................go to 4.
1'. Organism is nonliving..................................................go to 2.
2 (1). Object is metallic........................................................go to 3.
2'. Object is nonmetallic..................................................ROCK.
3 (2). Object has wheels......................................................BICYCLE.
3'. Object does not have wheels......................................TIN CAN.
4 (1). Organism is microscopic...................................PARAMECIUM.
4'. Organism is macroscopic............................................go to 5...and so on....
Legend:
"1." and "1'. " is the number of the couplet (set of choices)
"(1)" is the couplet from which the current couplet came from (i.e. couplets 2 and 4 came from the options given in couplet 1); it allows for tracing back your steps if you went astray deeper in the key
"go to 2" indicates where the user should go if they choose this option

Thanks Bob-since I was on a time limit, I did do it in InDesign, just with buttons and animations and it worked fine. Didn't want to chance trying something new like this. I am going to work on Importing the HTML and testing the asset issue over the weekend when I have some time to really test that.
As always, many thanks for the guidance!

Creating a ODS key with 32 characteristics in BW 3.5

All,
We have to create a ODS key with 32 characteristics in BW 3.5. We are using an after image type delta capable extrator 0FI_GL_10. We have to do delta loads every 2 hours.
As you all know ODS allows only 16 key fields. In order to allow 32 keys, I have created an artificial key with 17 fields concatinating into one in the transfer rules.
The problem is still the data is not coming correctly (some records are still getting overwritten even with then new key) with the delta init load and the interesting thing is that the full load into the ODS is getting the data right.
In other words, a delta init load is getting 95680 records and where as full load is getting 99680 records.
Have anybody come accross such situation and what would be helpful to solve this issue?
Thanks,
- Shashi

I assume your CHAR 60 is enough to hold all the fields that you are concatenating.
Other problem with concatenate is that it strips the leading and trailing blanks.
So let us say you have two fields F1 (char 5) and F2 (char 3)
F1_________F2
A1_________03
A10________3
A12________22
Now, follow what happens with concatenate F1 and F2. Row 1 will result in value 'A103', row 2 will also result in 'A103' and row 3 would be 'A1222'.
So, even though combination of F1 and F2 was unique in these three rows, after concatenate we get only two unique values.
This is one possible explanation. The oher ofcourse is if total length of 17 fields is more than the 60bytes you have in key field.
To avoid this move your values with exact length (in the example above it will then be like)
Key(5) = F1.
Key+5(3) = F2.

How to create a block key default for documents created by MIRO?

Hi All,
How to create a block key (BSEG-ZLSPR) default for documents created by MIRO?
Could anyone tell me?
Thanks
Gandalf

HI,
The payment block--BSEG-ZLSPR can be made defaulted by two ways.
Means you want to fix one value all the times for the same ,you have to do the same in Vendor master
ie in the Vendor Master in the Payment Transactions Selection screen. make the Payment Block you want to be defaulted in MIRO.
you can do for all vendor master in mass change -- XK99.(LFB1)
if you are not OK with the Above .then there is another way to do the same
it is by Screen layout setting in SHD0
in this enter the Transaction MIRO and create a Transaction variant Z*** and click on create
and also create a Screen variant in OMLRLIST
T code MIRO
Screen variant name Z**
Program-SAPLFDCB
Screen Number 0020
and create it .
in creating ---enter the default value in the Payment block and in the varinat just check the box w.content
KNow in SHd0 add this screen variant for the above Trasaction variant
and then activate this trasaction variant by going into the tab Standard variants.
so that when ever you do miro this variant will be called and you can get this payment block defaulted.
hope so it helps

Is it possible to create many primary key for a table?

hello sir/mam.
i am selva, i am new to abap,
is it possible to create many primary key for a table?
please guide me.

Hi Selva,
Many Primary Keys = Composite Key.
i.e some set of columns will enable you to identify a unique row from a set of rows in the table.
This can be achieved by checking the primary key check box in se11.
Hope it helps.

Creating a foreign key constraint on a synonym of table in another schema.

Hi,
I am having two user operapps and oper
owner of table po_vendors is operapps ,i have created a synonym in oper with select permission.
now i am trying to create a foreign key.
ALTER TABLE OPS_BR_VENDORS ADD ( FOREIGN KEY (VENDOR_ID) REFERENCES PO_VENDORS (VENDOR_ID));
the bolded po_vendors is the synonym for the table po_vendors in operapps.
i am getting the below error message.
SQL> ALTER TABLE OPS_BR_VENDORS ADD ( FOREIGN KEY (VENDOR_ID) REFERENCES PO_VENDORS (VENDOR_ID));
ALTER TABLE OPS_BR_VENDORS ADD ( FOREIGN KEY (VENDOR_ID) REFERENCES PO_VENDORS (VENDOR_ID))
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges.
i have given dba privileges to oper user.
Please advice.

1) You cannot create a constraint on a synonym. You have to specify a physical table (i.e. OPERAPPS.PO_VENDORS)
2) The owner of the OPS_BR_VENDORS table will need to have the REFERENCES permission on the PO_VENDORS table granted directly (not via a role).

How to create an autoplay slideshow in InDesign

Hi, I would like to create a banner in InDesign with transitions and export as swf file, but I would like it to autoplay on load instead of having people navigate from page to page.
Is it possible to create an autoplay action within InDesign?
Thank you

I have the same question, but I'm afraid there's no such setting in CS5.5. It would make a good feature, so you will be able to make stand-alone flash web banners without having to use - or know how to work with Flash Pro.
I tried something wit the Timing window, but I was not able to work out the simple sequence that I had in mind.
If somebody has an idea I'd be happy to know about it!

Questions about creating a foreign key on a large table

Hello @ll,
during a database update I lost a foreign key between two tables. The tables are called werteart and werteartarchiv_pt. Because of its size, werteartarchiv_pt is a partitioned table. The missing foreign key was a constraint on table werteartarchiv_pt referencing werteart.
Some statistics about the sizes of the mentioned tables:
werteart 22 MB
werteartarchiv_pt 223 GB
werteartarchiv_pt (Index) 243 GB
I tried to create the foreign key again, but it failed with the following error (Excuses for the german error message):
sqlplus ORA-00604: Fehler auf rekursiver SQL-Ebene 1
sqlplus ORA-01652: Temp-Segment kann nicht um 128 in Tablespace TEMPS00 erweitert
The statement I used:
alter table werteartarchiv_pt
add constraint werteartarchiv_pt_fk1
foreign key (schiene, werteartadresse, merkmale)
references werteart (schiene, werteartadresse, merkmale)
on delete cascade
initially deferred deferrable;
So the problem seems to be, that Oracle needs a lot of temporary tablespace to generate the foreign key and I do not know how much and why.
My questions now are, and hopefully someone is here, who can answer all or a part of it:
1) Why does Oracle need temporary tablespace to create the foreign key? The foreign key uses the same columns like the primary key.
2a) Is it possible to tweak the statement without using the temporary tablespace?
2b) If it is not possible to avoid the usage of the temporary tablespace, is there a formula how to calculate the needed temporary tablespace?
3) Is it possible to modify data in the tables while the foreign key is created or is the whole table locked during the process?
Any help or hint is appreciated.
Regards,
Bjoern

The foreign key uses the same columns like the primary key.Because it's validating the data to ensure the foreign key won't be violated. If you had specified ENABLE NOVALIDATE when creating it then the existing data in the table wouldn't need to be checked and the statement should complete instantly (future data added would be checked by the constraint).

Create unlimited folios today with InDesign CS5 and 5.5!

Adobe's official statement
http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/2011/10/create-unlimited-folios-today-with-indesi gn-cs5-5.html
Did you know…
Customers with InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 can now create an unlimited number of .folio files for no additional charge.
You already know that InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 integrate with Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to allow customers to publish apps to tablet devices such as the iPad, Xoom and PlayBook. But for InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 customers who are interested in creating content for tablet devices but are not yet customers, it is now easier than ever to try digital publishing before making the financial investment in the Digital Publishing Suite solution that meets your needs.
InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 customers can now:
Create an unlimited number of .folio files in InDesign
Preview them on Adobe Content Viewer – including interactivity – to see how they will render when published to a tablet device
Share them with colleagues or clients on a 1:1 basis via the Adobe Content Viewer
Further, customers can now access the Folio Producer Service in the Digital Publishing Suite with a valid Adobe ID to manage and edit their .folio files. All of this can be done before purchasing Digital Publishing Suite.
If you are interested in learning how to create an App directly from InDesign CS5 or CS5.5, without writing code or depending on a developer, feel free to try it. You can pitch ideas to your client or your boss; or you can build a portfolio of your work and preview it on a tablet device. Practice makes perfect, and with an unlimited number of .folios, you can practice as much as you want! When you’re ready to publish to an app store, you can select the Digital Publishing Suite solution that is right for you.

I'm sorry EvBurk, what you want is intended not to work.
All Adobe's promotional material concerning InDesign and Digital Publishing (including the above "official statement") carefully uses verbs like "create" or "produce". But they never mention "distribute" or "spread", without explicitly referring to their exclusive hosting services. The whole Folio thing (in contrast to the former "issue" format) revolves around not giving you any chance of physically exporting, managing or owing the folio file itself. It's always somewhere on Adobe's or Apple's servers, or on your iPad, which is also as shut as a vault. So there's no way to export a folio file and toss it around like a pdf or jpeg. All you can do (without a paid distribution) is "share" your folio with some others, under the idea of "testing" and "reviewing". But this can be a cumbersome method. And even when paid (for the app), it's still difficult to distribute it outside Apple's or Android's market.
More than a year ago (in the middle of the Flash-on-iOS debate) Adobe users, developers, bloggers, and evangelists heavily criticized Apple's "walled garden". Adobe literally stated "We Love Apple - What we don't love is anybody taking away your freedom to choose what you create, how you create it, and what you experience on the web." Well, you could say now: "I love Adobe, but what I don't love is Adobe taking away my freedom to own my files, and distribute them on my own terms." They let us create, but not spread our ideas. It's like giving you a typewriter and copier, that only works with Adobe stock paper. Like giving you a voice and an instrument, but only allowing you to sing and play in some walled gardens (dress code: Apple ID) or secluded shed (invitation only).
I really wonder why they so fiercely protect 'their' Folio file. Why do they either have to be "under protection" or be turned into apps? I understand why Apple wants and needs to curate apps, but they don't mind me spreading my own ePubs, mp3 or jpegs. Why doesn't Adobe let me put my folio's on my own server, or send them off to someone with my own preferred service? The Content Viewer could easily be an Acrobat-like reader and let the iPad open folio's (by web links or mail enclosures) into it. If I see how many questions, worries, and problems creators and users have due to this whole closed technique and business, it would be easier to just let go and see what happens. Is it money? Of course it is. But my guess is that Adobe would eventually benefit more from it.
So I hope Adobe declares the Folio as an "open" standard soon, but they're definitely not in that stage. Maybe the specification of the file format just isn't ready yet. Maybe some managers need to remember again how to "Spread the Love"...

when i am trying to create foreign key i got this error
ORA-02270: no matching unique or primary key for this column-list
this is production issue Please help me.
Thanks in advance

ALTER TABLE PROD_COMPET_XREF ADD (
CONSTRAINT PROD_COMP_XREF_PK_DPNCPNCT
PRIMARY KEY
(COMPETITION_PROJECT_NUMBER, PROJECT_NUMBER, DIVISION, PRODUCT_LOC_INDICATOR)
When you create a foreign key, it must reference a unique or primary key. The primary or Unique key must consist ONLY of those columns upon which the Primary key is based.
You must Alter the table and add a Unique key if you want to keep your compsite primary key constraint. The Unique key must be for only the column that your foreign key references. Then try to recreate your foreign key.
I doubt you will be able to add a foreign key because I suspect you might have multiple rows with the same value for this column based on your composite key; however, if you only intend for the project number to be listed only once and to be unique for each row, then the unique key may work or you may want to revist your primary key on this table. Perhaps you don't need it to be a composite PK???
If you can't work around that, one thing you can do is build a table based just on PROJECT_NUMBER that contains details about the project number and have other tables reference that. That is, if you have multiple rows with the same project number in that table. You may already have one? Perhaps you can build your foreign key to reference that?

Creating a restricted key figure in BI7 reporting

Hi
I am creating a restricted key figure globally in BI7 query designer, whenever I try to restrict Calender Year /Month, an error message pops up showing:
Runtime error '457' (This key is already associated with an element of this collection), when I click ok another message opens
Runtime error '429' (Active X component can't create object)
and finally Microsoft VB runtime error
Automation (The callee(servernot server application) is not applicable and disappeared; all connections are invalid. The call may have executed.
I am working in BI 7, SAP gui 640 what could be the problem in BI 7???because the same thing is working in BI 3.5 environment.
Regards
Indraneel

Hi Indraneel,
Try to look for the patch level you are using for SAP GUI, it should be level 14. If lesser than this apply and check. And always disable VB macros.
Assign points if helps.
