Dealing with J2SE CORBA errors at the WARNING level?

Sun CORBA Community:
For several years now (since we upgraded to J2SE 1.5.*) our log files have been filling up with CORBA.COMM_FAILURE errors from the Sun ORB that are thrown at the WARNING level. This has been reported as either a problem or an annoyance by a number of folks in this forum, but there has yet to be a suitable fix or work-around forthcoming.
An example stack trace is:

Why does this happen? While I can't speak for others, in our case, I know why it happens and is not something that I want to hear about at the WARNING level. We use CORBA for client/server communications and each client registers with and then receives update information from the server. If someone exits the client properly, by clicking "Exit" in the application, we deregister the client with the server and everything is fine.
However, if someone simply closes the window to terminate the application, then the next time there is an update, the server tries to send it to a non-existent client and, bingo, we get a CORBA.COMM_FAILURE exception. Of course, getting users to properly exit rather than simply closing the window is a losing battle ....
While I would argue that this is not a WARNING level problem, that's the way that Sun has chosen to define it in the underlying CORBA stuff.
So, does anyone have an effective means of dealing with this problem. I thought that I should be able to override the logging level for the appropriate class and change it from WARNING to something lower such as FINE so that our logs listening to INFO level or higher wouldn't see them.
However, my efforts to do this .... and I don't pretend to be a java.logging wizard ... failed. Maybe I was not resetting the level of the appropriate class. Should the java.logging API let me override a logging level for one of the CORBA classes?
Any insights or suggestions as to how to better deal with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your consideration,
John

How do I deal with a Runtime Error on Adobe Acrobat 9.5?

How do I deal with a Runtime Error on Adobe Acrobat 9.5? The instructions say to contact the support team but I have to pay in order to do so.

What operating system and what is the statement of the error. Typically you would first run a repair on Acrobat from the help menu (or in Windows you can do that from the Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs).

Errors in the high-level relational engine. A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID of '

When I deploy the cube which is sitting on my PC (local) the following 4 errors come up:
Error 1 The datasource , 'AdventureWorksDW', contains an ImpersonationMode that that is not supported for processing operations.  0 0
Error 2 Errors in the high-level relational engine. A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID of 'Adventure Works DW', Name of 'AdventureWorksDW'.  0 0
Error 3 Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while the dimension, with the ID of 'Customer', Name of 'Customer' was being processed.  0 0
Error 4 Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while the 'Customer Alternate Key' attribute of the 'Customer' dimension from the 'Analysis Services Tutorial' database was being processed.  0 0

Sorry hit the wrong button there. That is not entire solution and setting it to default would work when using a single box and not in a distributed application solution. If you are creating the analysis database manually or using the wizard then you can
set the impersonation to your heart content as long as the right permission has been set on the analysis server.
In my case I was using MS Project Server 2010 to create the database in the OLAP configuration section. The situation is that the underlying build script has been configured to use the default setting which is the SQL Service account and this account does
not have permission in Project Server I believe.
Changing the account to match the Project service account allowed for a successful build \ creation of the database. My verdict is that this is a bug in Project Server because it needs to include the option to choose impersonation when creating the Database
this way it will not use the default which led to my error in the first place. I do not think there is a one fix for all in relations to this problem it is an environment by environment issue and should be resolved as such. But the idea around fixing it is
if you are using the SQL Analysis server service account as the account creating the database and cubes then default or service account is fine. If you are using a custom account then set that custom account in the impersonation details after you have granted
it SQL analysis administrator role. You can remove that role after the DB is created and harden it by creating a role with administrative permissions.
Hope this helps.

Howto deal with multiple source files having the same filename...?

Ahoi again.
I'm currently trying to make a package for the recent version of subversive for Eclipse Ganymede and I'm almost finished.
Some time ago the svn.connector components have been split from the official subversive distribution and have to be packed/packaged extra. And here is where my problem arises.
The svn.connector consists (among other things) of two files which are named the same:
http://www.polarion.org/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/update-site/features/org.polarion.eclipse.team.svn.connector_2.0.3.I20080814-1500.jar
http://www.polarion.org/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/update-site/plugins/org.polarion.eclipse.team.svn.connector_2.0.3.I20080814-1500.jar
At the moment makepkg downloads the first one, looks at its cache, and thinks that it already has the second file, too, because it has the same name. As a result, I can neither fetch both files nor use both of them in the build()-function...
Are there currently any mechanisms in makepkg to deal with multiple source files having the same name?
The only solution I see at the moment would be to only include the first file in the source array, install it in the build()-function and then manually download the second one via wget and install it after that (AKA Quick & Dirty).
But of course I would prefer a nicer solution to this problem if possible. ^^
TIA!

Errors in the high-level relational engine. The data source view does not contain a definition for the table or view. The Source property may not have been set.

Hi All,
I have a cube in which i'm using the TIME DIM that i created in the warehouse. But now i wanted a new measure in the cube which is Average over time and when i wanted to created the new measure i got a message that no time dim was defined, so i created a
new time dimension in the SSAS using wizard. But when i tried to process the new time dimension i'm getting the follwoing error message
"Errors in the high-level relational engine. The data source view does not contain a definition for "SSASTIMEDIM" the table or view. The Source property may not have been set."
Can anyone please tell me why i cannot create a new measure average over the time using my time dimension? Also what am i doing wrong with the SSASTIMEDIM, that i'm getting the error.
Thanks

Hi PMunshi,
According to your description, you get the above error when processing the time dimension. Right?
In this scenario, since you have updated the DSV, it should have no problem on the table existence. One possibility is that table has been specified for tracking in the notifications for proactive caching, but isn't available any more for some
reason. Please change the setting in Proactive Caching into "MOLAP".

Errors in the high-level relational engine on Schedule Refresh Correlation ID: 7b159044-c719-41f9-8d0f-da6f73576d6e

Connections are all valid and work when I setup the Refresh but when the schedule refresh occurs I get this error:
Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDataReader interface was being used: The Data Transfer Service has encountered a fatal error when performing the data upload. The remote server returned
an error: (400) Bad Request. The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request. Transfer client has encountered a fatal error when performing the data transfer. The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request. The remote server returned an error:
(400) Bad Request.;transfer service job status is invalid Response status code does not indicate success: 400 (Bad Request).. The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.
It is trying to refresh 3 simple tables with less than 9,000 rows each.
Also, i'd like to add that the refresh works right from excel as well...
Another fact just in, it seems to work on one out of 3 tables sometimes, so first table gets a success on the log, but sometimes it fails (It succeed twice and failed once with the above error). The second table never succeeds and gets the error above.
The 3rd table never even gets attempted.
Am I running into some sort of timeout perhaps?

What's the best way to deal with floating point errors?

What's the best way to deal with the decimal number errors in Flex?
Lets say I have:
var number1:Number = 1.1;
var number2:Number = 1;
var result:Number = number1 - number2;
trace(result);
I get "0.10000000000000009".
What's the best way to deal with this so that i get the right result?
Using the trick: result = Math.round( result * Math.pow(10,13) ) / Math.pow(10,13); is not useful as such when using big numbers.
For example, If number1 = 100000000001.1, and number2 = 0.2, I get "100000000000.90001" as result. The previous rounding fixes rounding errors after 13th decimal, but here the first rounding errors come after 4 digits.
The toPrecision method in Number and NumberFormatter dont seem be of use by themselves because of the same reason.
So I'd have to check how big the number is, and then round the number based on that.
So far I've constructed a method that does that with logarithms like this:
public function floatFix(number:Number):Number{
      var precision:int = 14-Math.floor(Math.log(Math.abs(number))*Math.LOG10E);
      var precisionFactor:Number = Math.pow(10, precision);
      return Math.round(Number(number*precisionFactor))/precisionFactor;
It just seems rather odd that one would have to create and use something like that to just count 1.1-1; There's a lot of calculating in that method, and i'm guessing that having to use that in a loop could slow down a program quite a bit.
I think there really should be a pre-built method in flex for something like this, but I can't find any.
Anyone know any better/faster ways?

Dealing with time code breaks on the source tape

Some of my source tapes have broken time code, because of "empty space" between recordings. What's the best way to deal with that if you want to be able to automatically recapture video from a tape?
Thanks.

There are a few possible solutions depending on what you need from the tapes.
You can dupe the whole tape onto another camera or deck (via firewire), or use capture now to grab the whole tape. You'll need to edit the preferences to only warn on timecode breaks, and not create new clips at breaks.
You could also set the FCP capture controls to be a 'non-controllable device', this means you need to hit play on the deck and use 'capture now' in the log and capture window. The only problem with this is that the timecode is not from the tapes, it is generated by FCP to fix the breaks, so batch re-capturing won't work (bad news if the breaks mash up the audio etc).
Duping the tapes can be done by using just one camera and your mac. Capture via the 'non controllable' device method above. Then drop the footage into a sequence and then print that to tape. Then use this tape to capture from & you have footage that will recapture at a later date if needed.
Timecode is a real pain if you have many breaks, duping is often the easiest solution.

Need some help with DNG and error parsing the files

Ok, so I found out that I can't open NEF files with CS2 from my Nikon D3100 - unless I upgrade to CS6, or use the DNG converter. I did download the DNG converter that came with the Camera RAW 3.7 (for CS2) in one of Adobe's links, but when I try to convert the NEF files, the DNG converter says "There is an error parsing the file". If it helps, I have Windows 7. Is there a different version of the DNG converter I should be using? Thanks!

A simple Google search will find it. For some reason it isn't on the Adobe website. If you upgrade to CS6 you'll find much improvement in your raw conversions.

How do I deal with "Acces Denied" error when trying to print to Adobe PDF printer driver

Windows 7 64 bit OS (updated)
Adobe Acrobat XI (11.0.06.70)
I am unable to create a PDF file from within the Windows 7 print dialog. Each time, I receive a terse "Access Denied" error followed by the display below (the progress bar never advances). I thought upgrading to Adobe Acrobat XI might fix this but no such luck. It seems that others have experienced similar issues. I noticed in the display below that Adobe is trying to create the file in a folder which does not exist (at least I can't see it even after setting my preferences to display hidden files). I have the hope that, if the folder were present and accessible, Adobe would create the file without trouble. Is there a way to instruct Adobe Acrobat XI to create this temporary file in a different location? One of my frustrations is that I used to be able to print Adobe Acrobat files without trouble on the same computer. I wonder whether the use of a registry cleaner may have contributed to my problem.
What are the best practices for addressing the Access Denied and inability to print problems I've encountered?
Thanks for any help you can provide in sorting out this problem.
Best,
Matt

I have been having the exact same problem with Adobe Acrobat X. I have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times and applied all the latest updates. Every time I try to print ANTHING to the Adobe PDF print driver, the software hangs (MS Office, webpage, or other programs). When I finally kill the process using Task Manager, I find the little "Access Denied" box. This has been happening for nearly one year. I have limped along since I have other computers to use. I have attempted to find answers on this forum in the past, and no one seems to have a clear answer to the problem.
I, too, was tempted to upgrade to XI, but Matt's post settled the matter, since it did not help him.
I am using Win 7 Home (64 bit) and until this issue started, I have had no problem with AA X.
Where are the Adobe experts when you need them? Please help us.

How to deal with tiny text size on the display, especially in email?

I got a Macbook a week ago. I have been using a Windows laptop for about 5 years. Before that I had a couple of Mac desktops.
All in all I am very happy with the Macbook. I haven't had any of the problems which have come up in these forums, unexpected shutdown, bad DVD drives, etc. One thing I love about mine which I had not seen mentioned before I got it is that the Macbook (or mine anyway) is absolutely whisper quiet. I cannot hear the hard drive doing anything. My Dell laptop sounds like a construction site in comparison.
The main issue that is vexing me has to do with the high-res, small-size display. The combination of those two factors means that the text size onscreen is often so small that even with reading glasses I have serious eyestrain.
Back on my Dell this was a lot easier to deal with. In Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, there are very simple settings in the menus to make text sizes better. And this is really important -- those text sizes are remembered after you close and restart the program.
So far as I can tell, that is not true (in general) on the Mac. I find this shocking, since Apple makes such a big deal about the simplicity and usability of the Mac.
Specifically, in Safari I went into preferences and reset the fonts. A little more complicated than in Internet Explorer but it basically works alright.
With Apple Mail, though, it is really troublesome. There is no remember-able setting to increase the text size for viewing (that I can find). And the on-screen size of 12 point text in an incoming email in Apple Mail is just absurdly small. It makes me wonder if Apple is taking bribes from the American Opthalmology Association. This is going to ruin my eyesite pronto.
Of course I can hit Command-+ several times when viewing each email to increase the text size to a readable size. But what a pain.
Is there a way to make those settings rememberable?
Otherwise I like Apple Mail. But I really prefer not to have to hit 6 keystrokes when looking at each email just to get it to a reasonable size.
I looked at the help files for Mozilla Thunderbird. They seem to indicate that program works the same way.
How about Eudora? Any others? Any suggestions much appreciated.
thanks

Hi Jeff, thanks for your careful attention and your comment.
But I have to point out you've missed what I'm talking about.
In OE, in the View menu (right on the menu bar, not under Tools>Options) there is a setting called "Text Size" which allows you to set the text size for viewing and composing (independent of sending). That makes it very easy to make the text easier to read on small screens. It does not "change the appearance of the formatted text so that it no longer corresponds to the intent of the sender". It merely makes the text bigger or smaller, like a magnifying glass.
Via email I had some back and forth today with another poster here discussing this. You might be interested to see the email he sent me in which he included both Helvetica 12 and Helvetica 14. I took a screenshot of the email he sent me (from Apple Mail). When I read this email in Apple Mail with the "Message Font" set to Arial 18 (which is the size I need it set at for readability), Helvetica 14 is displayed at a smaller size than Helvetica 12.

That's weird.
Here's a test I did, and this is what really matters to me.
I sent two emails from Windows/Outlook Express. For one I set the default composing font to Arial 12. For the other I set the default composing font to Arial 18.
When I downloaded and read these emails in Apple Mail, sure enough, the Arial 18 font appears much bigger than the font in the Arial 12 mail.
Then I did the reverse. I set the "Message Font" in Apple Mail prefs to Arial 12. Sent an email.
Then I changed the "Message Font" to Arial 18 in prefs and sent another email.
Then I downloaded both these emails into Outlook Express.
On OE, font size is displayed exactly the same in both emails.
So that's good -- I know that Apple Mail, whatever the setting in "Message Font", is sending some sort of "standard" font size. (By the way, I have Apple Mail set to send Rich Text Format mail). My correspondent tells me that Apple Mail doesn't send "true" HTML mail, and Outlook Express does, so perhaps that explains this.
Okay, no big deal. But if I were a graphic designer and I wanted to know for sure that my carefully crafted email styles were getting through, I might be going bonkers because of this.
But I'm not a graphic designer, and for the moment my concerns are assuaged.
And I accept the wisdom of your advice to "go native". I'm trying, I'm trying...

Unable to publish projects with inserted video - error message The Flash video can not be loaded

I've created a project in Captivate 6 with two slides that have inserted videos in them
Both the videos were created in Captivate 6 by publishing those projects as mp4 videos
They play fine in the previews but when publishing I get the error saying the Flash video can not be loaded for both of those slides and in the output files the area for the video is blank.
I have checked that the videos are not open anywhere else as I saw on a previous post this was the issue but the only place they are in use is in the project I am trying to publish.
Below are my settings and the error message
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Your screenshot indicates you are publishing to a folder on a network drive.
Have you:
Verified whether or not the video file exists at the published folder location? (It should ideally be sitting in the same folder as the SWF that calls it.)
Verified that the folder location is set up as a trusted location in your Flash Global Security settings?

Dealing with a deleted object in the transport..

hi,
so here is a new scenario !!
I had a transport moved from one sap dev system to another sap dev system, say ECCDK1111. This contained an IDOC with 4 segments. In the new system, I deleted one of these segments, I was asked a transport request for this, I created a new one, say ECCDK1120.
I deleted this transport request ECCDK1120 by mistake !!!
Now when ECCDK1111 will be moved to the quality system, what will happen ??
1. Will any transport error be encountered ? I presume so, because ECCDK1111, has an entry named "Customizing: Table contents" under which EDISDEF, EDISEGMENT and EDSAPPL are listed and these contain an entry of the segment (which was moved from old system but which I deleted in the new system ). Can anyone say for sure what will happen ??
2. In case answer for my first question is "errors will appear", then how to resolve it ??
thanks to all who have been patiently answering my questions 4m yday regarding such scenarios w.r.t transports. You guys are great !!

hi,
in Quality system same thing will happen like by importing into Dev2 sytsem. I.e . IDOC with 4 segments will be cerated. The deletion of one segemnt in Dev2 system does not play any role here, because the transport was created in Dev1 and by release of the transport the actual status of the objects is saved into a transport request, and that request will stay the same forever. Even if you would have deleted the segment in Dev1, the original transport would have remained the same (if it is released already - but that is the case here).
hope this helps
