DECODE ERROR

Hi All
I used the following calculation in the disco plus :
DECODE (Primes And Subs Vw.Firm Type Code, S, Primes And Subs Vw.Sub Firm Name, P, Primes And Subs Vw.Prime Firm Name)
When the firm type code is S it must give me the sub firm name and when the firm type code is P then it must give me the prime firm name, but instead its giving me the following error:
An error occured while attempting to perform the operation. The operation didnt complete successfully.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Could be one of two things (or both, or none).
Your view name has the word "And" in it, which is a reserved word. Try enclosing the view name in double quotes.
Also, there is no "else" condition in the decode. If your firm type code is other than S or P, the decode doesn't know what to do.
This will address both issues:
DECODE ("Primes And Subs Vw"."Firm Type Code", 'S', "Primes And Subs Vw"."Sub Firm Name", 'P', "Primes And Subs Vw"."Prime Firm Name", NULL)Replace the NULL at the end with something more meaningful when the code is not an S or a P.

Red frames and MXF decode error

Hi there,
I have Premiere Pro CC and running Mac OSX 10.9.5. I have one long 32 minute long C300 MXF clip in my timeline which seems to be fine until around the 26 minute mark, where the entire frame goes red. The audio still works, but I can't see anything. I have tried to convert the clip to ProRes in Media Encoder also, but the same issue happens.
In the report log from Media Encoder I get the following message repeated many times:
MXF decode error in "[FOOTAGE LOCATION]/Card 1/CONTENTS/CLIPS001/E51151/E5115107.MXF" at frame 47650. Frame 47618 was substituted.
And then occasionally it says:
MXF read error in "[FOOTAGE LOCATION]/Card 1/CONTENTS/CLIPS001/E51151/E5115107.MXF" at frame 239.
Any advice about this??
Thanks,
Simon

Decode error when outputting to file to later burn to DVD

I have an MPG file created in Ulead Media Studio Pro (which I can no longer run as it does not run on Windows 7 which my new PC uses). I created a new project in PE9, added the mpg file, dragged it to the timeline and told Premiere to change the project settings to match. It is now PAL DVD Upper field first. There is no red line on the timeline above the clip. When I try to output it to a file for later burning to DVD I get a decode error around a particular frame. When I go near that frame in the monitor window and step forward one frame at a time it moves smoothly until it gets to the frame in question when there is a noticeable delay from pressing the arrow button and the time counter updating to the next frame number. The MPG plays fine in Windows Media Player and VLC player - it shows a cross fade transition at the spot that fails in PE9. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I don't have independent DVD authoring software as otherwise that would be an option.

Depending on the source footage, I have found that some other programs do a better job of handling them. For that reason, I have CyberLink PowerDirector, and Magix MovieEdit Pro on my computer. Actually, since I use PrPro for most of my work, that is also why I bought and installed PrE - it handles footage well, that PrPro chokes on.
Personally, I am less comfortable actually editing in PowerDirector, or MovieEdit Pro (older versions of both), but PrE is closer to PrPro, so I rely on it as my "first step," and the other two NLE's more as just converters.
Still, if another tool in your video-editing toolbox, works better, there is zero shame in using it. Sometimes an adjustable spanner is all a mechanic needs, but when they require a universal socket with a "wobbly" extension on their Snap-On rachet, then the adjustable spanner goes back into the toolbox.
Most of all, I am glad that you are able to produce the desired results. That is what it's all about.
Thanks for reporting your workflow and your success. Good luck.

Decode Error in Cisco VCS for a call from Jabber to telyHD

Hi,
We have the following setup:
Cisco Jabber <---> Cisco VCS <---> telyHD (Our Video Product)
Now, the call works well when the call is intiated from telyHD to Cisco Jabber.
But, the call fails when the Cisco Jabber initiates the call towards telyHD.
The packet capture on VCS shows that there is a syslog message from VCS to Jabber indicating the following when 180 Ringing is received from telyHD:
Message [truncated]: tvcs: Event="Decode Error" Service="SIP" Src-ip="10.1.1.19" Src-port="5060" Dst-ip="10.1.11.11" Dst-port="25331" Detail="(User-Agent) Single header User-Agent appeared twice in message" Protocol="TCP" Level="1" UTCTime
Can you please help in troubleshooting this issue. I don't see multiple "User-Agent" headers in the 180 Ringing sent by telyHD.
I have attached the packet capture on VCS.

I am also having the same issue. Can someone please respond? Thanks.

How can I eliminate (watch) in videos that read "ERROR: DECODE ERROR"?

Usually when in a web site (like Fox News) & there's a video to watch I can't watch it due to the message "ERROR: DECODE ERROR". How can I eliminate this & watch the video? Thanks for your input.

Have you tried to reinstall Flash on your system, uninstall from the control panel, then install from get.adobe.com/flashplayer/‎ and try the video again.

Deepak, generally this error is displayed when the keytab file is generated with a ktpass tool with is not compatible to the JDK Kerberos implementation.If you have created the keytab file using different version ktpass tool, you have to recreate the keytab file using the required version. Please You verify the SAP Note 927350 - keytab generation for Kerberos authentication with SPNego.

Hi,
More information:
1) Only inbound FA's are failing (please note its random)
2) The number in AK102 matches to our outbound invoice's GS number, so i guess the correlation is fine.
3) I just reprocessed the FA after modifying AK102 number in FA to the ISA number of the invoice, with all preceding zero's and this works.

Problem with Adobe Decoder ST 7.5 - decoding error

Hi all,
I have an Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms ST version 7.5 installed on
Windows XP. While trying to decode a barcoded pdf it logs the following
AdobeException: "Error in the PDF library."
The same pdf file is successfully decoded on Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms ST version 7.0.
I've try to design the barcoded pdf with Adobe Designer 7.1 and 8.0 the decoding error is the same with Adobe Barcoded Forms 7.5.
I'll be very thankful for any kind of information about it.

Hi Lee,
I'm decoding a PDF that was filled, then saved without printing or scanning.
I create it with Adobe Designer 8.0, after that I'm adding it all rights (including 2D barcode decoding) with ReaderExtension 7.2. During the execution I have an error in the ReaderExtension console - "ERROR: document does not have certifying signature".
After that I'm filling and saving the extended pdf file with Adobe Reader 7.0.5, then I put the filled file in the input directory of the decoder and I receive the decoder error.
I'll send you the file.
Thank you very much.
Stanislava.
P.S. The ReaderExtensions and Barcoded Forms Decoder are both installed on Windows XP (one computer).

Your Microsoft Windows Xp SP3 version value in the registry may be inconsistent or missing ...
- Please navigate to the following tree in the registry editor and paste the value for "CSDVersion"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
The regkey can be accessed by searching for 'CSDVersion' in the registry editor or you could follow the steps below.
(1) Click 'Start' > choose 'Run'
(2) type 'regedit' in the run window and click 'ok'. This will open the registry editor
(3) Navigate the tree to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion'
(4) look in the left side pane and locate 'CSDVersion' and its value.
And how did your upgrade to SP3 happen? Did it come preinstalled on your machine or have you upgraded it by downloading upgrades from the internet.

Ber Decoding error in embedded OCSPResponse

Hi,
I'm trying to sign Pdf using iText and I'd like to embed the OCSPResponse in the autheticated attributes of the SignerInfo.
When the document is validated online by Reader everything is ok. The offline certificate status verification is successfull using the embedded crl, but it fails to check the embedded OCSPResponse because of "a BER decoding error". I can't figure out what the error is....
You can download my PKCS7 files (one contains only the OCSP response, the other has both the OCSP and the crl) here:

Can anybody help me, please?

Hi lizz4321,
A digital ID is made up of three components; a private key, a corresponding public key, and some identifying information. The keys themselves are pretty straight forward, they are just big blobs of numbers used to encrypt and decrypt data. It's the identifying information that gets a bit tricky. On first look, the identifying information looks like plain text. You'll see your name and the issuer's name, a serial number, some dates for when the validity starts and ends. All pretty straight forward.
However, all of this information is actually formatted using something called ASN.1 (it stands for Abstract Syntax Notation) and then encoded using BER (Basic Encoding Rules). When someone creates a digital ID they can put just about anything in there. Per specifications (RFC 5280 if you wanted to look it up) some items are required, and others are optional. Each piece of information that goes into the public-key certificate (the PKC is basically the digital ID without the private key) is contained in an extension. These extensions are identified using an OID (Object ID) and conform to a specification which may either be public or confidential.
There are two possibilities in the case you are seeing. Either, some of the information that Acrobat knows about was formatted or encoded incorrectly, or, there is an optional entry that Acrobat doesn't understand how to decode. My guess is it's the latter possibility. There is a rule that states if an extension is marked as critical, and the application using the public-key certificate (in this case the application would be Acrobat), doesn't understand the extension, then the application is supposed to reject the certificate. It could be the former case (badly formatted data), but without seeing the certificate all I can do is guess.

Congrats on your first post, manangowda. Have you already tried the solution given by hpholm? When you say "8.1 update", are you referring to the Lumia Cyan update? Does the issue happens to all the videos that you are trying to watch? Also, does it happen regardless of the connection you are using?
We'll wait for your response.

MXF decode errors and red frames in exports

Ever since upgrading to Premiere Pro release 2014.2 (8.2.0 (65) Build) we've been having problems with random red frames appearing in our exports. These errors are always associated with our Sony PMW-200 media files (.mxf files.) Red frames during editing happen very rarely, but are usually present in our exports. For short form work re-exporting the sequence will work sometimes, but may cause red frames to appear elsewhere... For long form work we've adopted a very lengthy work-around to fix the errors after exporting.
Phone support recommended deleting the media cache files, but we've tried that and the problem still exists. This problem is happening with new media that has been imported since the upgrade as well as old media that we imported before the upgrade. We're editing with many mixed media files all in their native codec and the only media files that get flagged with decode errors are the .mxf files.
We edit a large volume of work daily and this problem is a huge setback in our confidence with our exports as well as Adobe products.
For the record were editing with Mac Pros that are about a 3-5 years old with OS X 10.8.5 and an Xsan shared storage system. We have a Cloud for Teams subscription and all our software is updated frequently.
Any thoughts would be helpful. Personally I would love to escalate this problem to a higher level support team.
Regards,
Eric

I have the same problem running Adobe CC on high-end PCs. - My business is smalish, but this leads to having a rather big impact on my confidence.
MXF-files from Canon C300 and Sony FS7 platforms.
- With FS7 footage I've had the frames appear throughout a clip with perfect distance (16 frames apart) - when applying Denoiser 2 from Red Giant. - The plugin simply stopped the frames from appearing on a random basis.
- I've also experienced that when the error was present, dissolves became cuts.
- I've tried to isolate software/hardware rendering, but it does not seem to change anything to select one over the other.
I try work around it by rendering uncompressed sections of the timeline and replace it where it works, and then try again and again. - Very time-consuming and cumbersome.

MXF decode error

When I tried to render my sequence I got an error message. In Premiere I saw "MXF decode error".
It only happens on the spots where I used opacity and transitions.
Deleted cache and all the usual things I could do, but nothing helps.
Cheers

Try to convert your MXF files into other format like MPEG. Or just find go for another edit software like FCP X, the 10.1.4 can support MXF files natively and as well as 4K . But if you just get used to this Adobe premiere , here are some free converters for you : Handbrake, ffMPEG(_this one I am not very recommended, it will mess all your original video and database), MPEG Stream clip, any video converter. I used now is this MXF Converter from pav, and the quality is good.

Is this a one time action or do you want to run this statement on a regular basis?
How about this:
begin
if ( to_number(to_char(sysdate,'hh24')) <= 17 ) then
dbms_job.next_date(395, 'trunc(sysdate)+18.5/24');
else
dbms_job.next_date(395, 'trunc(sysdate)+1+6.5/24');
end if;
end;
