Data-driven graphics error

I'm trying to use the data-driven graphics wizard for a card
game some friends and I are creating. Each card has 9 text
variables and 2 image variables. When I run the wizard, it finds
all the variables just fine, but after properly processing one
variable (actually, we've gotten both images to load, but it dies
after one text), it stops, saves the file as is, and tells us:
An error occurred.
An error occurred.
or
An error occured.
Incorrect parameter.
...Useful stuff huh? Here's the source if anyone wants to try
this and investigate the mystery of the crashing graphics wizard:
template:
http://www.freewebtown.com/PhireNexus/ImpRome/template.png
xml:
http://www.freewebtown.com/PhireNexus/ImpRome/cards.xml
We noticed that on the variable-pairing screen, there's an
extra blank variable (it just is blank, no name, but it does exist)
on the xml side. Otherwise, this whole thing is irregularity-free.
Very frustrating stuff.
-----edit-----
Apparently having symbols in the template was causing the
error. Who knows why...

Question on Data Driven Graphics (non-English)

I am trying Data Driven Graphics with Illustrator CS4 on Win.
The program works fine with English XML data, however when I try other non-English language, Illustrator cannot show characters like é,è,ë.
The data is in XML UTF-8 encoding.
Anyone could help?
Thanks,

(CS5-MAC) Data Merge and Data Driven Graphics

Apologies in advance if this is slightly off topic, but I need some opinions and insight here.
I've been using InDesign since its creation and have recently been pushing the Data Merge feature of ID to its limits. My colecandoo blog highlights some of what I have achieved.
However, there are some things which the Data Merge cannot do, such as warping live text which can be done in Photoshop or Illustrator. But, I've recently learnt of the term "Data Driven Graphics" and that Photoshop and Illustrator handle both. Photoshop accepts txt/csv files and appears to be relatively workable, whereas Illustrator accepts XML which I can't get to work at all and it is frustrating me.
So here are my questions. I know the answer to some of these will most likely be "no" but if i don't ask, i'll never find out.
is there a way to integrate the Data Merge feature of InDesign with the data driven graphics feature of illustrator or photoshop WITHOUT scripting (e.g. something I may have missed)?
If scripting is the only option, is anyone out there actually doing what i'm trying to do, or know of any resources out there that i can look at?
is there a way to make the user unfriendly DDG feature in illustrator actually reference a txt/csv file rather than an XML file? Because I'm working on a Mac, making XML from excel is like putting marshmallows in a piggy bank (e.g. messy and ineffective).
what kind of images can InDesign's Data Merge reference? does it extend to other indesign files or incopy files?
I know there are third party products which can do the above (e.g. XMPie or DirectSmile), but i'm trying to get as much value as i can from the Creative Suite purely off-the-shelf.
here's hoping

>Because I'm working on a Mac, making XML from excel is like putting marshmallows in a piggy bank (e.g. messy and ineffective).
It should be easy, shouldn't it? I found that running the Excel file through Filemaker made valid XML files easily. Import worksheet, export records as XML.
Can't help you with the rest of it.

Data driven graphics in CS4?

Hi guys, i recently upgraded to CS4 (been on V.8!)
What is the equivalent to the old data driven graphics wizard by joseph lowery - this command was soooo useful!
I have a feeling that there's something much more complicated to learn to get the same effect - i.e. drawing data from an xml file and creating a set of images / pages / pdfs based upon the data set.
any tips much appreciated

It seems as if the output has an ASCII order. Perhaps a prefix on the template layers will help.

Deleting extra layers generated by data-driven graphics?

I have about 1600 PSD files that I generated using data-driven graphics. They each contain one pixel layer and eleven text layers.
The number of text layers with actual content varies. My original set of data looked something like the following in Excel:
001.jpg     A     B     C
002.jpg     A     D     E     F
003.jpg     B     G
004.jpg     A     C     G     H     I     J     K
005.jpg     F     L     M
And so on. All files have content in at least two text layers, some have all eleven with content.
I discovered right away that Photoshop would not import a data set with blank fields for some text layers, there must be actual text for each text variable. So my Excel VBA script (where I combined spreadsheets to create my data set file) added a period to each otherwise empty cell.
This made my data set look like:
001.jpg     A     B     C     .     .     .     .
002.jpg     A     D     E     F     .     .     .
003.jpg     B     G     .     .     .     .     .
004.jpg     A     C     G     H     I     J     K
005.jpg     F     L     M     .     .     .     .
Photoshop was then happy, imported the data set, and created a folder full of graphics. However, I'm now left with a bunch of files that have a bunch of dots on them. I'm looking for a way (script or macro?) to delete these extra text layers.
Ideally this script could batch process a folder full of files, parsing each text layer and deleting the ones with just a period character.
I'm also fine with regenerating the files if there is a way to not create the unneeded text layers in the first place. I thought about using a visibility variable but the layers would still be there, just hidden. I'm not sure how much that helps me.
I'm a Mac guy but stuck using Windows 7 Pro at work. I have the latest version of Photoshop CC, and some experience with C-like programming languages, so I can handle simple VB or JavaScript hacking if needed.
Any ideas or suggestions or sample code? TIA for the help.

Well since nobody had ideas, I spent some time with the PS scripting documentation. I was also able to find a sample script linked from John Nack's blog to start with. This is actually pretty simple, although switching back and forth from VB to JS is a pain (= in VB, == in JS as an example.)
Presumably this could test for different conditions such as font, or could use a regular expression to find specific text.
main();
function main() {
    if ( app.documents.length > 0 )
    removeExtraTextLayers(app.activeDocument);
//start at index (length-1) to avoid background layer, top layer is index 0
function removeExtraTextLayers(obj){
        for( var i = obj.artLayers.length-1; 0 <= i; i--) {
        try {
        if (obj.artLayers[i].kind == LayerKind.TEXT && obj.artLayers[i].textItem.contents == ".")
            obj.artLayers[i].remove();
        catch (e) {

Fireworks CS6 Data Driven Graphics Wizard

Does anyone have a solution for Data Driven Graphics Wizard not working in fireworks? It did work at one point in CS6 however after some updates it will no longer merge any text. Maybe I am doing something wrong but I don't believe so as I am using all of the same files that I had previously merged.

Ask in the FW forum. I haven't used it since version 3 or so...

Data Driven Subscriptions Error - the query processor could not start the necessary thread resources for parallel query execution

Hi,
We are getting the following error when certain data driven subscriptions are fired off: "the query processor could not start the necessary thread resources for parallel query execution". I've read other posts that have the same error, and
the solution usually involves adjusting MaxDOP to limit the number of queries that are fired off in parallel.
Unfortunately, we cannot change this setting on our server for performance reasons (outside of data driven subscriptions, it negatively impacts our ETL processing times). We tried putting query hints like "OPTION (MAXDOP 2);" in the reports
that are causing the error, but it did not resolve the problem.
Are there any settings within Reporting Services that can be adjusted to limit the number of subscriptions that get fired off in parallel?
Any help is appreciated - thanks!

Yes, that is correct. It's a painful problem, because you don't know which specific subscription failed. For example, we have a data driven subscription that sends out about 800 emails. Lately, we've been having a handful of them fail. You don't know
which ones out of the 800 failed though, even from the RS log files - all it tells you is that "the
query processor could not start the necessary thread resources for parallel query execution".
Thanks, I'll try changing <MaxQueueThreads> and will let you know if it works.
On a side note: I've noticed that it is only reports with cascading parameters (ex. where parameter 2 is dependent on the selection from parameter 1) that get this error message...

CS5 - Can't find Data Driven Graphic Wizard

I just move to CS5 from CS3, is that the DDGW function being cancelled? cause I can't find it from the menu bar and the offline help manual.
Thanks

Hello!,
I just wanted to share with you all that today I needed that data-driven merge wizard. I'm using CS4. The Extension Manager showed it activated but it was not ( I didn't appear under the Commands menu). I unchecked the activation checkmark. Then I closed fireworks and the extension manager. I launched Extension Manager again, enabling the data-driven merge wizard, and now Fireworks shows it under the Command menu.

Data driven graphics - output not in layer order(with files added)

Hi All
I am using CS3 Fireworks, making numbers on small icon button with different text and graphics.
xml table is prepared.
I made a Fireworks template file with text/image variables in single layer, order as below:
Top
Text var.(button name)
image var.(icon graphic)
image var.(button background graphic)
then run the wizard and the output becomes:
Top
image var.(button background graphic)
Text var.(button name)
image var.(icon graphic)
The swop image include auto shape vector graphics, bitmap(PNG),
I tried using vectors with live filter but doesn't work, so flattened to bitmap(PNG)
is there any method to keep the output as preferred orders? Please help.

It seems as if the output has an ASCII order. Perhaps a prefix on the template layers will help.

Creating data-driven graphics

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7417a.h tml

I am not sure I can understand what exactly is going on. Maybe solution is to change Pixel Replacement Method to As Is if you have images you want to use for replacement at exact size. Another replacement method is Fill which will scale up or down image with constraining original proportions until both sides fills available space what can result that one side of image extends beyond boundaries of available space on layer to which is assigned variable. Fit method will scale images up or down with constrain original proportions until both sides of image fits into available space (in other words every part of image must be visible inside available space) what ussualy results with image for replacement to be smaller (this depend on difference in proportions of layer with variable and replacement image). Fourth method is Conform which can distort images, it will scale images to fill space without to constrain original proportions.
See screenshots which points where to click to change pixel replacement method.

SSRS Data Driven Subscription Done: 9 processed of 9 total; 9 errors.

Getting this error when running a data driven subscription on SQL Server 2008R2, Server is Windows Server 2008R2. Looked at the following.
Report takes no parameters and I can view it/export it just fine from the report server website.
I can run the query used in the data driven query to list emails/etc.
I verified no errors in the SSRS Execution Log Table (all rsSuccess)
Log File from SSRS shows what looks to be proper execution
From the SSRS box I can telnet port 25 to the smtp mail server we are using for sending emails. (below)
Report has been running daily for ~3 monthes.
Nothing obvious in the Event Log.
Anyone have any other thoughts on a place to check?

Hi,
You can check the below blogs for troubleshooting subscriptions. Find the Schedule ID of the most recent subscription by querying the ReportServer database and search for the Schedule ID in your Trace Log to find the relative error message.

Rich Internet / Data driven Web App 's - Which sdk and Plugins Please???

Hi, I am starting Bournemouth University in September and will be learning java, I have wanted to build rich internet applications for years and am really excited!!
I would like help understanding all the different products and plugins relevant to building rich internet data driven web applications so I can install them all to my system and then follow all the online videos and tutorials.
I have knowledge of html, css, some sql, some flash and can use photoshop and fireworks.
So far, I love the look of the net beans console and the first thing I want to find out is how to make the screens/panels/components unique from a graphical point of view; like you can in adobe flash or Flex. I tried to install java FX but had errors (?64 bit system related)
Also would like to know if anyone else new has the same goal as me so we can set up a group or a web site dedicated to forming a learning path, like making a list of url's of which tutorials to do in which order to best learn the basics before connecting to databases and then learning mvc frameworks for enterprise level multi user applications.
In that respect actually, is Java SE ok for my goals or should I have installed Java EE; I think I tried to install EE version first but had options in the installer I didnt understand or errors; did it a couple of weeks ago and cant remember exactly what the issue was? Can you upgrade from one java sdk to another without effecting netbeans??
Thanks all in advance, I hope some people will help me get started and in return I will dedicate part of my web site im about to build for uni to putting all the information gathered in one place for others.
My system is windows 7, 64bit
I have installed Java sdk - jdk-6u25-windows-x64
Apache Tomcat 7.0.11
GlassFish Server open source edition 3.1
Netbeans IDE 7.0
MySql Server 5.5
MySql Workbench 5.2CE
I also have mssql installed as I started learning this from an interactive dvd, but am assuming Oracle is the db of choice now oracle bought java. Or mySql which i installed but have never used before.

First of all, stop treating this like its an Adobe product. There are no plugins okay? You have entered a very different world of development right now, one you may find you don't even like. But lets not be hasty.
Secondly, remove everything you have installed right now.
Okay, now you're ready to start. Now Install the Java 6 JDK AND NOTHING ELSE. It has no executable to start any fancy program, just a bunch of command line tools with which you are going to enter the wonderful and difficult world of Java programming. Pick a favorite text editor (preferably one that has syntax highlighting for Java sources) and get going. I suggest you start here:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/
This will not tell you how to build web applications; this will tell you how to create Java programs using the tools that are part of the JDK. You should not be even thinking about doing any web development at all until you are intimately familiar with the language, the tools, the standard API and programming in general. That may take as little as three months, probably more given your limited experience in the realm of application programming.
Only once you have found your way should you make an attempt to install Netbeans again and start to learn how to use that to make your life a little easier. Before Netbeans can help you help yourself, you really have to know what you are doing.
I wish you good luck. Its good that you are excited, but I hope that excitement has not been built on top of bad assumptions and woefully inappropriate expectations. Programming is hard, application development is even harder.

Data driven subscription query returns no data

We have a data driven subscription on SSRS 2008 R2. The columns in the query are tied to one or more parameters of the report. When we run the subscription and if the query does not return any rows, I was hoping that the subscription will not start; however,
instead, to my surprise, I got error stating..."Parameter XYZ value can't be null". How to avoid this error and keep subscription from running in this situation?
Example: I have a report that required employeeID as a parameter. I have a query (step 3: data driven subscription) that fetches employee ID based on some criteria. If there is no row returned by the query; It throws error on report stating "Parameter
EmployeeID can't be null."
Nehal Jain

Hello Nehal -
Try adding a UNION ALL to your parameter dataset query like
UNION ALL SELECT NULL AS EmployeeID , ..
Just check accordingly. I ll revert again based on this , got a priority now.
Happy to help! Thanks. Regards and good Wishes, Deepak. http://deepaksqlmsbusinessintelligence.blogspot.com/
