Distribution won't create .cds file or load previous .cds file

I have successfully created a distribution for my CVI8.0.1 application, and deployed it with no problems. However, although the settings work, a .cds file never gets created - I checked in the directory. When I close CVI and start it up again, it complains that the .cds file is missing. My distribution settings are gone, and I have start all over again, from 'Manage Distributions > New' etc. I also can not add a .cds file to the Manage Distributions->Add that I can see in the directory and that has beeen previously created.
This is new thing, I was previosly able to create .cds files and load previously created .cds files. Nothing, as far as I know has changed on my PC. I am running Windows XP. I reinstalled CVI but it did not help.
All of the code is in clearcase, several people (at different times) edit the files in the project and create distributions. Other people also running CVI8.0.1 can create .cds files.
What can I do?

I've made a modified version of cvi.dll to log some operations. Swap the attached version out with the one in your National Instruments\CVI80 directory (make sure to back up the original so you can restore it later). Then launch CVI, open the Manage Distributions dialog, and try to add an existing .cds file. Close CVI, then look for the log file c:\cvi_log.txt and post it back here.
Hopefully if we can figure out what's failing in the add, it will explain why the save is failing, too.

Acrobat 7.0 Professional purchased version won't create PDF files from Word 2000

I am running Windows 7 and have installed Acrobat 7.0 and Word 2000. I know, it's an old version, but this combination always worked on my old computer. When I install Acrobat on my computer I received the following message: "Warning 20225. Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Setup was unable to create a new item: Adobe PDF Port & Printer. The Adobe PDF Printer may be unavailable." Then it tells me the installation was successfully completed. When I attempt to create a PDF from a Word 2000 file, I get this error message: "Unable to find "Adobe PDF" resource files." And it asks if I want to run the installer in repair mode, but all it does it try to re-install the program and fix things but then I get the same "Warning 20225..." message mentioned above. If I have the original purchased installation discs of both Word 2000 and Acrobat 7.0, why won't they work together on my new computer running Windows 7? They worked fine on my old computer using Windows XP. Help!!!

I just answered this question in http://forums.adobe.com/message/4251547#4251547. Basically you should be able to create a PDF (assuming you are not using a 64-bit system and then I have no clue), but not in the automated way you are used to doing. The first step would be to change the printer port for the Adobe PDF printer (assuming the driver got installed) to file. Then when you print or use PDF Maker, it will ask you for the file name. It will create a PS file (may have a prn extension) that you have to open in Distiller to complete the rest of the conversion. A bit of extra work, but workable. You are looking at a Win7 issue that has caused major problems for many software vendors, not just Adobe. The newer versions of Windows seem to ignore a lot of compatibility needs. Don't forget that with VISTA they had to add the help system back in because their own MS Office needed it.

Photoshop Elements won't create a file, edit a file or save a file...

Hello all,
I just bought an Epson 600 scanner which came with a copy of Photoshop Elements (v7, but that's another question for another day). Was working fine for awhile (a few weeks) but now I'm unable to edit any files. This is on an Intel Mac Pro running Windows 7 (natively, not in VMWare) with 8 cores and 8 GB of RAM and terabytes of free disk space.
Here's a sample sequence of events:
1) Launch PE
     - Get selection screen for organize, Edit, Create, Share.
2) Select Edit
     - Launches editing workspace normally
3) Click File->Open
     - Get the file browser window with thumbnails (standard windows stuff)
4) Click a TIF file (or a JPG file) and click Open
     - File browser window closes and I'm taken back to the editing view but there's no picture. No sign that it did anything (all the menus that are greyed out when the editing screen is empty are still grey etc - including the File Save menu option)
5) Try to drag a file into the editing workbench from windows explorer (either a TIF file or a JPG)
     - Same behavior - switches back to the workbench, but everything is still greyed out and the file isn't there.
6) Try to create a new file
7) Click File->New
     - New file dialog pops up asking me to name and size it
8) Give it a random name and leave it at the default 6x4x300dpi and click OK
     - New file dialog goes away and returns me to the editing canvas, but it's still blank and all the menus remain greyed out
I get the exact same behavior if I try "Open As" or "Open recently edited files" etc
I AM running Symantec anti-virus and I've noticed some people mentioning that that can cause issues for Adobe, but turning it off really isn't an option. So if there's some rule I need to set up to allow some background process to talk, that's fine but I can't just disable it to use PE.
Is there any debugging log kept somewhere? (I suppose I could check this site more thoroughly for that info)
Any help or suggestions would be most welcome!
Thanks,
Jason

Try resetting the PSE preferences by
   1. Close Elements.
   2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
   3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
try and let me know your comments.

FCPX 10.0.7 Won't create alias' to event files

We recently had a Facilis Terrablock SAN installed along with a CatDV server.
The problem we're having is that FCPX won't create alias files on the SAN when importing footage and not moving it to the Events folder, so everything comes up as offline.
We're adding the SAN location properly in FCPX and we can create alias files in finder on the SAN just fine.
Does anyone have any insight about why this is happening?

SAN's of any kind - AFAIK - are supported. FCPX can work with media on our Facilis SAN so long as I use the "Copy Media To Final Cut Events Forlder" option on direct import. It actually works quite well in this regard.
However, this is not how we want to work with our media. Up to this point we've used our own folder structure on local discs prior to importing footage. This works fine as Final Cut creates short cuts to the original media in the Events Folder (kind of a hack way to do this IMO, but whatever, it works). There is know reason I know of that FCPX shouldn't be able to do the same with a SAN location.
I would appreciate replys from people who've actually worked with FCPX and SAN's. Perhaps I'm asking in the wrong place for that.

Trying to load firefox and I get a message saying it can't create a file

I have tried loading firefox and it tells me that it can not create a file. How do I fix this problem?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

I'm using Indesign CS4 and all of a sudden it won't open old files or creat new ones. I've restarted
my machine and program and it still won't do anything. Any ideas?

What sort of recent changes have you made on the system?

Cannot create a file Loader Connection for Linux

Im using ODQ 11.1.1.3 with the server installed on Linux and client on Windows.
I have created a directory on the server for all my data files. The user (oracle) that starts the scheduler has full read write access to these directories.
In Metabase Manager I try and create a delimiter loader connection specify the linux directory location (/u02/oracle/data/tss). I get no error from the client and no error in the mtb_server.log file.
I have looked at the documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/core.1111/e16453/odpinstalling.htm#BCGDJHIH, what seems strange is that it tells you to create a user and this is how it is accessed but it does not tell you how to link the metabase manager to that user, or am I missing something.
any help greatly appreciated.
cheers
James

Hi Yeswanth
Then you can try with a "Add Counter". This will create new file each time with the same name but a counter will be added to the file name at the end specifying the number of times it is created.
You can also the specify the format to create the counter once select this option u can correspondingly fill the Format and step fields.
Will this be fine.

How to create an xml to load swf files in sequence?

hello everyone
I'm new in web design... I know how to animate in flash, using timeline, frames, layers, twins and so on... But I want to move forward so I want to create a xml to load swf files in sequence and in loop. Each swf file has 8 seconds.You can see the example here in www.cm-seixal.pt.
I'm not a programmer but I understand how actionscript works... I hope you can help me

you can use the urlloader class to load your xml file. use the loader's complete event and the loader's data property to retrieve the data in your xml file.

The distribution agent failed to create temporary files in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\COM' directory. System returned errorcode 5.

One of my replication job failed with below error, which means job failed because of permission issue on the folder. To resolve that, I have granted the permission and it started working fine. Now the question is as my job was running fine since long time
without any issue then how suddenly the permission of the folder got omitted automatically? I am sure that no one deleted the permission from the folder and as the server is part of SQL cluster no failover occurs.
Error:-The distribution agent failed to create temporary files in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\COM' directory. System returned errorcode 5.
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
Error code 5 indicates that the error is "access is denied." Please make sure that the COM folder is excluded from any antivirus scan that occurs on the system.
If the issue still persists, I recommend you use
Process Monitor to find out a bit more about the accounts and access requests involved. Then grant write permission to the exact COM folder for the account that is running the SQL Server Agent service. For more details, please review the following similar
thread.

Distribution agent failed to create temporary files in

Hello,
we are configured transnational replication in sql server 2005 location, all replication jobs are running fine,
while we checking sql server errorlog showing below error :
Distribution agent failed to create temporary files in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\COM' directory. System returned errorcode 5.
NOte: normally we are configured replication 2005 [90] , but while see the above error it shows [100] comparability level .

Hi,
If the account that is running SQL Server Agent does not have write access to the COM folder, the Distribution Agent will fail
when it is running as a job. If you run the Distribution Agent from a command line by using an account that does not have write access to the COM folder, the same failure will occur.
To work around this
issue, grant write permissions to the COM folder for the account that is running the SQL Server Agent service. If you run the Distribution Agent from a command line, grant write permissions to the COM folder for the account that you use to run the Distribution
Agent.

Cant create hierarchy FILE load for 0GL_ACCOUNT

Hi guys i have a special Question......we are trying to create a file load hierarchy source for 0GL_ACCOUNT, in BC i cant find any FILE type infosource or datasource.....in source systems FILE i cant create a datasource for hierarchy and in the hierarchy infosource appears a message that the infosource is already mapped to DEVFILE because theres an infosource FILE type for load master data...
I cant create a file load hierarchy infoosurce for 0GL_ACCOUNT
Regards

Are you using the flexible or direct update? This will only work with Direct Update since you can only load a data target/infoprovider using the flexible update and a hierarchy is never an infoprovider.
For example, if you make your characteristic and infoprovider. The Attrib and Text infoproviders show up under the infoprovider tab. However, the Hierarchies don't.
So, here is a step-by-step solution you can follow ...
1.) Under Infosources tab, find your characteristic. You need to find the infosource for direct update. It will have the three icons ... one for attributes, texts and hierarchies. If you don't see the green hierarchy icon, then you need to turn hierarchies on for the characteristic.
2.) Right click on the infosource and choose, "Assign Datasource".
3.) Under Source System, choose your flat file source system, it is probably named FLATFILE, FILE, TEXT, etc....
4.) Enter your transport info and select yes to the infosource/datasource assignments for attributes, texts and hierarchies (assuming you have all three icons)
5.) Select the drop down for datasource and choose your hierarchy datasource.
6.) Activate the datasource or switch the transfer method to IDOC (instead of PSA) and save the infosource (no activation under IDOCs).
7.) You can now create your info package against the hierarchy datasource.
If you are having trouble getting to this stage, the next is going to be more difficult -or- perhaps you are already at this and are having trouble loading the hierarchy?
Whatever the case, please tell us the steps you have gone through and the errors or error messages you are receiving. Sometimes these issues are very complicated to both explain and to understand.

HT5271 Downloaded latest Apple updates that informed me old versions of Adobe Flash Player were disabled and advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before.

Downloaded latest Safari update that informed me that older versions of Adobe Flash Player were being disabled and then advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before. (Instead of opening, it comes up as a page of code).

Hi..
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Delete All
Now select the Storage tab.
Click Delete All
Relaunch Safari to test.

Why won't an FLV file created by Premier Pro open and Play?

As the title states...I exported a sequence as a flv file and my computer won't play it... It is strange that the amount of Gigabytes used by Adobe ( I have the Master Version) won't open an FLV it created. Yes,
I have Quicktime installed BTW. Is there something I need to turn on? Or do I need 'yet-another' download to make an .FLV play?

@JtSmith- BTW I put this ? in this area because I created the File in PremPro.. So I wondered why it would not play it back. However your idea of parking the file so a stand alone /embedded player made me think to try and open it with a Browser. Which indeed my .f4v file did open that PremPro created. Yet the FLV file would not open. IT seems FB (Flash Builder) has taken proprietary rights over it...
@JSimon- I could not find the VLC Player you mentioned, if you can tell me where I can find that or which or what program that is in...?
Anyhow FWIW, Prem Pro did a great job on creating a Lossless FLV file from a file that was 330mb to 11mb and still looks pretty good for web use. BTW.. Hence the Prem Pro post. After all we web users would like the smallest, cleanest file we can produce from our PremPro exports. Right? Thanks for the idea JT and J Simon if you get a chance to let me know if that VLC player came with my suite or must I download the Open Source VLC player..The one that turns every icon into an 'orange construction cones'
Thanks
Happy New Year. 13

Created help file either won't open or opens blank when emailed or copied for another user to see it.

Created help file either won't open or opens blank when emailed or copied for another user to see it.
Our HR person made a help file she wants to email to someone or copy to a network share.
-If she emails it the other person cannot open it.
-If she copies it even from her desktop where she saved it to the folder with all the other files, it opens blank.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think they must be swapping out .html for .chm in DW or something. What the OP describes sure sounds like what happens when you do that.
@dfiore27101
DW doesn't support .chm file types. Adding the extension doesn't compress the images into the file to create a true .chm.
Adding .chm will make a perfectly good .html file stop displaying in DW though.
An easier way to send someone .html help files would be to archive their folder as a .zip then email the .zip. The recipient would then need to extract the archive to view the files in their browser.
I don't know of any way to create real .chm files in DW.
