Events Issues with Description

Morning.
I have to report an issue with the "events" section of iPhoto. The text under the images is both unclear and overlapping the events thumbnails. The desciption isnt log either.
Has anyone else managed to unravel this issue?
Any feedback appreciated?

To edit event titles correctly make sure you have HelveticaNeue installed on your system. HelveticaNeue.dfont is what worked for me. Restart iPhoto after installing the font.

Custom Event - Issues with triggering

Hi Experts,
I've developed one workflow for travel management. The flow is as below.
1. Whenever expense report is created, workflow will get triggered
2. If the expense report requires receipts, workflow will be waiting for the receipts attachment. After attaching the receipts workflow will move further for approval process. For this I've created one custom event, which will be triggered from enhance spot (OA_BADI_LINK) implementation when receipts are attached
3. I'm using the custom event created and wait step to hold the workflow till the event get triggered
4. If receipts are required and not attached for 2 days, workflow will be terminated
It was working fine in development server. After transporting the all related objects to testing server, in testing server the workflow was not moving further even after attaching the receipts. I wanted to check whether the custom event is getting triggered or not, while attaching the receipts. For this, I've requested admin team to switch on the event trace (SWELS) in testing server. After switching on the event trace, my workflow is working fine. I mean, the workflow is moving further whenever receipts are attached.
I'm with no clue, why it was not working before activating the event trace and why it is working after that.
Can any one help me in finding out the cause?
Thanks in Advance,
Siva Sankar.

Hi Shital,
Thanks for ur reply.
Standard event that is maintained in SWE2 was getting triggered and workflow was getting started. But, the custom event that is getting triggered from enhancement was not working properly.
What settings admin do using SWEQADM tcode?
Thanks,
Siva Sankar.

Issue with applying Event Action filters

Dear friends,
A general question on Event Action filters. There is a signature with sig ID 6257.
The following is the event action filter configuration:
service event-action-rules rules0
filters edit DHCP
signature-id-range 6257
subsignature-id-range 0
attacker-address-range 172.20.20.10,172.20.20.11
actions-to-remove produce-alert
filter-item-status Enabled
stop-on-match True
os-relevance not-relevant
exit
Even though a valid DHCP offer is being given by the DHCP server, this alert is getting fired.
We have even excluded the IP's of the DHCP Servers - 172.20.20.10 and 172.20.20.11 from the Attacker Address range parameter in the signature but still this alert gets fired.

Some things to check:
1) Is the filter in the active list? Filters can be enabled or disabled, but they can also be active ro inactive. You've only show a part of your configuration so I can't tell if the filter is part of the active list.
2) Are there actions other than produce-alert for the signature? Or is an event action override adding other actions?
Produce-alert is not the only action that can cause an alert to be generated. The produce-verbose-alert, request-snmp-trap, log-attacker-packets, log-victim-packet, and log-pair-packets will also cause alerts to be generated. Modify the filter to also remove these actions.
3) The alert you've shown is a Summary Alert. There may be an issue with Summarization and the Filters. Try modifying the signature to set it to FireAll with no summarization.
4) If you have multiple filters then check the order of the filters. If the event is matching an earlier filter where the stop-on-match is set to True, then it will not check the event against this filter. Either move this filter up higher in the filter list, or change earlier filters to be "stop-on-match false".
5) Also check to see if you are running the latest 5.1(7) or 6.0(4) Service pack. If running earlier 5.1 or 6.0 versions you might be hitting a bug that could have already been fixed.
If none of the above help, then contact the TAC. It could be that you may have foung a bug that the sensor development team is unaware of.
To help in identifying the problem take a packet capture of the packets from 172.20.20.10 for several minutes around the time when the sensor is generating these alerts.
This way the team can both check if the signature is firing correctly, and if the filters are working correctly for that signature.

Issue with the pVal.BeforeAction in Item_Pressed event

Hi all,
I am facing an issue with the pVal.BeforeAction in the Item Pressed event.
In delivery notes, When I press the Add button, i am getting the control, which is passing through both of the if blocks [if (pval.BeforeAction=True)block and if(pVal.BeforeAction=False)].
But
When I try the delivery using Pick and Pack Manager form with in the Inventory Menu, I am getting the same Delivery form in Add Mode. When I click the Add button in the form, the control is passing through the if(pCal.BeforeAction=true) block successfully, but after that, the form closes and it never comes to the if(pVal.BeforeAction=false) block.
I need to run the codes, what i have written in the second if block, in this case also.
Is it possible?
Please help me to solve this issues.

Hi,
It's a known bug. As Rasmus said try the SBO2005A SP01 FormDataAdd Event.

Ian

This bug has not been fixed as of AIR 2.7, I don't have a date/version I can give you when this will be addressed.
However, I would recommend adding a new bug to bugbase.adobe.com and include the sample project and a reference to our internal bug number. The public bug will then be linked to our internal bug and you'll be able to see updates as the state and status are changed. If you post back with the public bug URL, others effected can cast their votes and add notes as well.

Issue with events not propagating when selecting toolbar items

Hey All,
I'm on OS X Lion using CS6 beta and observing events in Photoshop form an outside application using Cocoa's NSEvent#addGlobalMonitorForEventsMatchingMask.
It seems Photoshop is stoping the propogation of some events coming out of selection of toolbar items. Here's the issue:
There are two ways to select the Pencil tool from the toolbar. (Method A) I can click the Paintbrush, holding down for a second and releasing, then mouse move to the Pencil and click, OR (Method B) I can mouse down the on the Paintbrush and drag the mouse to the Pencil.
If I use Method A I get what seems to be every event associated with the interaction, BUT If I use Method B Photoshop seems to stop the propogation of a lot of drag events.
Are there any experts out there that have an knowledge of why this is, or if there are any known work arounds?
Regards,
Ned
ps This is also an isue in Photoshop 5

Ned, this is a bit over my head, but FYI (and your troubleshooting research), there are other methods to get alternate tools: ALT+click to cycle them, CMD/right-click to get the flyout, and Shift+Tool shortcut (unless you changed the setting in preferences)
BTW, method B is not the same as A? The only difference is that in A, there is a release, then a move to target area, then another click, while in B, we have a hold, then a move to the target area, then release.

HT1229 How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what.

How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what. When you have several thousand photos it is difficult to determined what is what.
Why does iPhoto have the ability to put photos in events and to give them descriptions if it doesn't transfer this info with the photo. I want to back my photos up to an external drive.

The simplest way to achieve what you want is to back up the iPhoto Library. That will get everything.
You sem to be exporting from iPhoto to the Finder. The Finder does not have the same organisation capabilities as iPhoto. If you're going to do that you need to understand some of the differences between the two.
Event Name will become Folder Name.
'Description Name' I guess is the Title you give the Photo
Jpeg Number is the File Name assigned by your camera.
So: File -> Export
Set your Kind to Jpeg
Select your preferred Quality
Check the Boxes at 'Titles and Descriptions' and Location Information
Under FIlename select 'Use Title'
Click on Export. In the Next Window choose a New Folder as your export destination and then Name that as you prefer

Issue with Events

All
I am attempting to build a simple orchestration that is kicked off via the TaskCreated event. As of now, I don't care about using a filter - I just want the orchestration to run any time the TaskCreated event is fired.
I've created such an orchestration. First I placed a start point TaskCreated event on the canvas. I followed this with a SetValue operation that assigns some random sentence to a String variable. I've saved and activated this service.
Now, when I go into Workspace and launch a workflow, I can see in my log that the TaskCreated event seems to be firing properly but that something is definitely wrong. The following errors can be found in the server.log:
2009-02-20 17:21:55,491 ERROR [org.jboss.ejb.plugins.LogInterceptor] RuntimeException in method: public abstract java.lang.Object com.adobe.idp.dsc.transaction.impl.ejb.adapter.EjbTransactionCMTAdapterLocal.doSupports(c om.adobe.idp.dsc.transaction.TransactionDefinition,com.adobe.idp.dsc.transaction.Transacti onCallback) throws com.adobe.idp.dsc.DSCException:
com.adobe.workflow.template.document.TemplateNodeNotFoundException: Template object: STRT_ER1235167537085 not found.
I have Recording and Playback set for my orchestration with the event and a new instance of this orchestration is being fired whenever I create a task but it can't seem to actually make it past the event start point because of the above error.
Any ideas?

I am also experiencing many errors that are filling up the log file and making it difficult to find what I am looking for in the log. The culprit is:

Has anyone found a solution beyond scrapping (I am assuming that is intent of the reference to scraping) the database. We don't have that kind of time now.
For your issue with reporting assignments in the log file, have you tried to read the adobe.tb_assignment joined with the adobe.EDCPRINCIPALENTITY tables for that information? LiveCycle is tracking and storing that information already.

Issue with xfa.event.change in XFA 3.3

HI all
I've found an issue with the way that XFA 3.3 processes the script below on a change event when a user paste's more than 1 character to a textfield.
var sChange = xfa.event.change;
if((sChange.length>1)){
    app.alert("Bad User\nCopy and paste has been disabled for this field");
    //discard the change
    xfa.event.change = "";
in XFA 3.0 the alert is sent and change is removed, in XFA 3.3 the alert is sent but the change persists.
Any Ideas?

Hi Mark,
Unfortunately thats not possible as I'm using Flash Fields with data being passed between the PDF and the Flex app which only works in XFA3.3, let me know when its fixed.
Kind Regards

I am having multiple issues with syncing my iphone calendar and outlook calendar on my laptop
I mostly enter the original items on my laptop
There are often 1 hour time differences in the entries on the 2 devices and sometimes events that have been amended are not updated on iphone

This sounds like an error in Time Zone support. The time zone needs to be the same in Outlook as well as the phone.

Issue with TextArea resize event

Hi,
In the following
sample there
is a button and a textarea in a VDivideBox. If you move the
divider, the Textarea is resized and in its resize event I change
the fonts size. It works very well except in one case: If the
Textarea is given the focus and then you try to resize it by moving
the divider, then all the text goes blank ! I've debugged it and
everything looks fine, so I can't figure out what's going on...
I'm using Flex 3. To see the code, right click and View
Source.
Thanks for helping.

Hello,
You say:
"The event trace shows that INPUTFINISHED got triggered. The technical workflow log also shows a record of the terminating event - but still the task does not get finished - the task still remains INPROCESS and does not get COMPLETED."
I would concentrate on fixing this. If an event is being created wth the proper key (check that) then the workflow should pick it up. You say you can even see it in the workflow log? Are you using a wait step, or have you set the event as a terminating event for the whole workflow? Try generating the event manually (with SWUE) to figure out what the problem is. This should work. Check the workflow log for errors.

This was suggested by the Backup Assist - software vendor....
A.)
...for 0x81080101:
"ERROR - The shared restore point operation failed with error (0x81000101)
The creation of a shadow copy has timed out. Try again this operation."
If you receive the above error in your report, we have recently found a registry key which
contains the timeout value set by Microsoft for VSS and found that you can edit this to extend it.
To get to the registry key, open Regedit (Start > Run > Regedit) and browse to:
"HKLM\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\SPP\\CreateTimeout".
Change value to 1200000 (2*10*60*1000 = 20 mins).
The default for the timeout period is 10 mins so hopefully doubling this will give enough time to
complete the snapshot.
If this isn't present, you'll need to manually enter the registry key. It's a DWORD 32-bit key.

Scot Pichelman

Hi Scot,
Sometimes a third party backup application will change the default VSS provider adding VSS writers which causes Windows Server Backup using an incorrect component in doing backup, that's why I suggest to delete it for a test. Anyway you can reinstall it
after testing.
And as you said a high-load CPU could also be the cause of the issue so you may need to first rule hardware effective out.
If issue still exists, please try the steps below as well:
1. Please check DCOM Server Process Launcher service is started.
2. If not, try to change RPC service to run as SYSTEM account. To do this please modify the following key:
Note: Backup the key before edit incase it cause any issue.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\RpcSs\
Find "ObjectName" and change the value to LocalSystem.
Reboot to see if DCOM back to work and if Windows Server Backup starts working. If not, please provide the result if there is any new error occurs.
If DCOM still not work, please compare the content of the following key with a working server:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OLE
Edit if there is any difference and make sure you created a backup of the key before editing.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

We are having the issue on hundreds of systems and I am rolling out the readiness tool mentioned above to prevent other systems from being affected. In the mean time I have stopped deploying MS13-098 and am hoping Microsoft will go ahead and let all
of their customers know about the problem instead of just one country. Hopefully the original bulletin will be updated with this known issue.

PPoj,
Apple has offered replacement or pro-rated refunds in the US as a settlement of a class action lawsuit, not because of pride in their design-centric approach to their products. If you seek a similar replacement/refund program in India, then the odds are pretty good that you’d need a similar legal approach with which to convince Apple to offer a similar program there. If you’re unwilling to wait for such an event, then you can purchase a replacement power cable now, and hope for a pro-rated refund at some point in the future.

Issues with Shockwave 11.5.2.602 / 11.5.6.606 MSI installer

<UPDATE 8/3/09> Nearly all of the issues mentioned below are still present in the MSI installer for 11.5.6.606 - the only one that Adobe have fixed is the one where the MozillaPlugins 'Version' value is left blank by the MSI by default - this is now created correctly, but all of the other issues remain.
Personally I have given up trying to use this MSI package to deploy Shockwave until Adobe get their act together - instead I am using a wrapper to wrap the Shockwave executable inside an MSI file and deploying it that way, although this is not ideal.
I have created an MST file which will fix the MSI installer for version 11.5.6.606, which I will post to another forum shortly, but I am not planning to keep it updated for future versions as I don't really have the time.
Hi,
I've tried submitting the following via the Adobe Customer Support portal and via the Feature Request/Bug Report form, but the first told me that I needed to 'get in touch with Adobe Enterprise Solutions team for getting help' and that 'to get in touch with them you have to purchase a contract', and the second resulted in a bounced email address saying that '[email protected]' 'does not exist at the organization this message was sent to'.
In short, attempting to contact Adobe to report issues with their installers sucks, and I am posting this here in the vain hope that someone at Adobe might read this message and possibly forward it to the relevant people. Some of the issues have already been reported here on this forum, but some of them are new, and I guess others might be interested in them too.
Hi,
I would like to report some issues with most recent version of the Shockwave installer, available in MSI format from the following location:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?k=4E6102EB-DA7C-2795-C744826EFDE2A098&l oc=en_us
This is the installer for version 11.5.2.602, with a digital signature dated 06 November 2009 10:52:21
When downloading this version of the installer in Windows Installer (MSI) format, the following issues manifest themselves, most of which are not a problem when using the Full EXE installer available from the same page.
First of all, when installing the MSI file using Group Policy Software Deployment, if you log on to the computer after the MSI file has been deployed and view a web page that contains Shockwave content, you receive the following errors in the Windows event log:

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
If you are logged on as an Administrator, then the computer will immediately attempt to 'repair' the Adobe Shockwave Player installation in order to create the missing folder 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Application Data\Adobe\', which leads to a significant delay in the initialization of the Shockwave content on the web page. If you are logged on as a non-Administrator, the errors will still appear, but the 'repair' operation will fail due to insufficient permissions to create the above folder.
I have done some testing and it seems as if this problem can be easily resolved by removing the code from the installer which tells it to create an empty folder in the 'Application Data' folder called 'Adobe\Shockwave Player 11'. This code seems to be entirely unnecessary, as no files are created inside this folder as part of the installation, and I have removed it successfully from my own copy of the MSI without it causing any issues. I have found some other people who are also experiencing this problem in the following forum post:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2379350 (post number 8)
and since this 'repair' operation causes all customised registry settings to be reset back to defaults as part of the repair, it would be very helpful if this 'feature' could be removed from future versions.
Secondly, there are a number of registry keys which are created incorrectly by the MSI installer when the above 'repair' operation takes place, which need to be corrected to prevent further issues from occurring:
Under '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{1F3CB77D-D339-49e0-B8E4-FECD6D6F8CB8}\LocalServer32]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\SHOCKW~1\SWHELP~1.EXE"
(Please note that there is a double quotation mark at the end of the value, but not at the beginning)
Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11\SwHelper_1152602.exe"
According to a forum post (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2379350, post 15), this causes DCOM errors when Shockwave is launched, if the MSI 'repair' has taken place as described above.
The above registry value should be set to the following in the installer's Registry table:
"[INSTALLDIR]Shockwave 11\SwHelper_1152602.exe"
so that the MSI installer works the same as the executable one.
Under '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{6EF568F4-D437-4466-AA63-A3645136D93E}\1.0\0\win32]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
Adobe\SHOCKW~1\SWHELP~1.EXE
Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11\SwHelper_1152602.exe
Also, under '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{6EF568F4-D437-4466-AA63-A3645136D93E}\1.0\HELPDIR]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
Adobe\SHOCKW~1\
Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11\
Once again, the above registry values should be set to the following in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue:
[SystemFolder]Adobe\Shockwave 11\SwHelper_1152602.exe
[SystemFolder]Adobe\Shockwave 11\
Under '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000}]', the 'default' value is NOT SET by the MSI by default:
Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
Shockwave ActiveX Control
This value should be set in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue.
Under '[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\Shockwave 10\location\common]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
Macromed\common\
Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\common\
Also, under '[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\Shockwave 10\location\coreplayer]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
Macromed\Shockwave 10\
Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Shockwave 10\
Also, under '[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\Shockwave 10\location\coreplayerxtras]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
Macromed\Shockwave 10\xtras\
Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Shockwave 10\xtras\
The above registry values should be set to the following in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue:
[SystemFolder]Macromed\common\
[SystemFolder]Macromed\Shockwave 10\
[SystemFolder]Macromed\Shockwave 10\xtras\
The MSI installer does not create '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dcr]', '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dir]', or '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dxr]'
Wherease the executable installer creates all three of these keys and populates them all with the following 'default' value:
"Content Type"="application/x-director"
These keys and values should be set in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue.
The MSI installer creates a value under the following registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OptionalComponets\SwDi r]
However this registry key is obviously misspelt (missing an 'n' in 'OptionalComponets') and should read as follows:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OptionalComponents\SwD ir]
This key name needs to be changed in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue (also pointed out in the following forum post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2379350 (post number 10)).
Under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/ShockwavePlayer], the 'Version' value is left blank by the MSI by default:
Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
1152602
This registry value should be set to the correct version in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue.
Finally, the MSI installer creates a number of registry values under the following path:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/ShockwavePlayer\Mime Types]
These values are *in addition* to the values created under the following path:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/ShockwavePlayer\MimeTypes]
(Note there is no space between 'Mime' and 'Types' in the second key path)
The executable installer *only* creates registry keys under the 'MimeTypes' key, and it seems as if this is the correct formatting for the key (also pointed out in the following forum post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2379350 (post number 11)).
The unnecessary 'Mime Types' registry keys and values should be removed from the installer's Registry table to avoid any potential issues.
I am sorry that this is such a long list, but it seems as if a number of things have been changed in the transition from 11.5.1.601 to 11.5.2.602, and it would be very helpful if these changes could be put back to how they were before, so that the MSI and the executable installers function in the same way as much as possible.
Message was edited by Borgquite - added 11.5.6.606 update

Have posted an updated version of the MST to my webspace here:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/minkus/shockwave/shockwave115606mst2.zip
This new version fixes the following issues (changes to this version in bold):
MsiInstaller repair & errors on first run as non-admin (removes 'AppData' directory entries)
DCOM errors once Shockwave is installed (adds double quotes to the beginnning of LocalServer32 value)
Incorrect TypeLib paths in the registry (fixed to use built-in [SystemFolder] property)
Default CLSID description value missing (set to 'Shockwave ActiveX Control', as per the executable installer)
Incorrect Shockwave 10 paths in the registry (fixed to use built-in [SystemFolder] property)
Misspelt 'OptionalComponets' registry key (renamed to 'OptionalComponents')
Missing .dcr, .dir, .dxr Content Type registry values (included in the executable installer)
Fixed incorrect AppID registry key (set to use installer's [VERSION] variable)
Removed 'Launch SWDNLD.exe' shortcut created in Programs subfolder (people don't want this - see here)
I have tested this on my network and it all seems to work fine. Unfortunately my original plan to use the executable installer didn't work out as it does not include the Shockwave 10 compatibility components described here and here, so it looks like I'll have to keep this MST file up to date with the latest versions until Adobe fix the problems themselves...
If you want to see the changes that I have made, load up Adobe's 11.5.6.606 MSI file in Orca, then use Transform / Apply Transform to apply the MST, and look for the entries in green.
Please post any feedback to this thread, and I will try to respond if I can help!
