Failed to GENERATEPDF when using checkbox UI element

Hello everybody,
I have a small interactive form, which works perfect as long as I do not use a context boolean element as type checkbox in the interactive form. As soon as I use a checkbox I get following exception underneath.
I user Netweaver developer Studio SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio
Version: 7.0.13
Build id: 200708072056
and Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 including the patch.

Check the following:
Form - Properties - Layout Type = ZCI
Checkbox -> Object Palette -> Binding Tab
On Value
Off Value
By default Adobe has on value = 1 and off value = 0.
What do you have in your context (X/space or 1/0)
If you have X and space in your context, change in adobe.

Crystal 2011 getting Logon failed IM004 error when using ODBC (RDO)

I just installed Crystal Reports 2011 on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1. Sporadically, but way too often (I would estimate about 60% of the time), when I go to set up an ODBC (RDO) connection or refresh an existing report and enter the password, I get the following error:
Logon failed.
Details: IM004:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_Handle_ENV failed
Other times, it just works, with no changed made. It seems to work slightly more often when using the SQL Server driver (the one for SQL 2000) as opposed to the SQL Native Client or SQL Server Native Client 10.0 drivers. But not often enough for that to be the solution.
I have tested this with a locally installed SQL Server (on the same machine as Crystal Reports) and remote SQL Servers, with SQL 2000, 2005 and 2008. Same results.
I have Crystal Reports 2008 installed on the same machine and have not once had this problem. I have tried using the same ODBC connections I already had from Crystal 2008 with Crystal 2011 and also to create new ones, same results either way.
Is this a known issue, or is there a switch/setting I need to change to make this work consistently? I am especially puzzled by the fact that it seems random, I have not been able to find any pattern at all.

Hi Victoria,
MS SQL Server 2008 has a client install now, the MDAC/WDAC doesn't install it as MS used to do with all of their OS's. CR also had to update the use of SQL Server 2008 to include the SQLNCLI10 client engine.
I suggest, if you have not already, install the Native 10 client from either the SQL Server CD or you can download the MSI from MS's site and only use the Native 10 driver.
MS kind of dropped ODBC and moved to OLE DB. The native client actually uses the OLE DB driver so using ODBC just puts another layer on top of OLE DB anyways. It's more convenient to use ODBC for deploying applications but it can affect performance.
Anyways, as noted, CR 2011 is still in Ramp up mode so this issue may have been tracked. If not though you can purchase a support case, if it's a bug then you'll get a refund, if it's a limitation in MS then no refund.
There is [SP 1 for CR 2011|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007683092011E/cr2011sp1.exe] - http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm
Seems to be a problem with that page right now so try again later... and apply SP 1 or wait until it goes GA and test again. If it's still an issue then you can log a case.
Firefox just got updated and it's failing, IE works though...
Thanks again

Backend dump CX_WD_GENERAL when using the UI element ' 'ThresholdSlider'.

Hi Guys
I am using the UI element 'ThresholdSlider' in my application and its working fine from front end. However it gives a Runtime Error: UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION with exception CX_WD_GENERAL when ever the user tries to drags the slider to chaneg the value. This does not happen if the user clicks on the slider to change the value.
As I said, the user do not face any issues in using the UI element/application. However, it gives a backend dump every time he drags the slider.
Can you please help me resolve this issue?
Highly appreciate your help.
Thanks and Regards

>Can you please tell me why there are so many dependenices for a simple basic scroll bar error, that notes got multiple corrections.
The Corrections for unified rendering rendering notes are large because they are collective notes that correct all known issues in the rendering. When you load these notes they replace all the Unified Rendering files (all CSS and JavaScript) for all UI elements. Although you may be looking to only fix one relatively small error, it necessitates that the entire JavaScript library be kept in sync.
>Did SAP rewrite this functionality on enhanement package 4.
Actually this particluar UI element was new in ERP Enhancement Package 4 (NetWeaver 7.01). But as explained above, the size and complexity of the note in question isn't related to this one particluar issue alone, but becuase the fix is a collective one.

E5-00 fails to deblock when used with paired bluet...

When using the E5 with the Toyota bluetooth carkit, it fails to deblock itself. Answering calls is not a problem as the E5 auto-deblocks upon receiving a call, but dailing via the carkit does not lift the block. As a result, I must first deblock it manually by entering the deblocking code which only solves the problem for a few minutes. Disabling auto-deblocking is not an option, as it would make the data on the phone vulnerable in case the phone would be lost/stolen. (This is about the code-block and not about the unprotected keypad block.) I have succesfully used HTC's and older Nokia's on the same carkit without this problem arising and my E5 software is up to date. Does anyone know how to arrange an auto-deblock when a bluetooth-paired device is being used like a carkit? Thanks!

Maybe a silly question, but is the Toyota car kit set as authorised ?

A problem when using a data element in BAPI

Hi there,
I build a function module, and want to use it as a BAPI. But when I add the function module as a method of a BAPI object, it gives me the following error: data type xxxxx cannot be used for methods.
I guess the problem happens because of the type of data element I used for the input parameter of the function module. Thus I tried many other data elements, but I keep getting the same error. I am really out of the game. Could anyone tell me which data element I should use for the input parameter of the function module? The function module has only one input parameter, which should be a string with length less than 100.
Thank you so much!!
Sincerely,
Bing

The function module has only one input parameter, which should be a string with length less than 256. (I tried many predefined data element like RPLM_STRING, but when I tried to add the function module as a method of BAPI, the SAP always gave me the error: data type xxxxx cannot be used for methods)
It only has one output parameter: RETURN (associated type: BAPIRETURN)
I am really not familiar with ABAP program, let alone BAPIs. Any suggestions would be very helpful to me. I sincerely appreciate your help.

Jvm startup fails with error when using large -Xmx value

I'm running JDK 1.6.0_02-b05 on RHEL5 server. I'm getting error when starting the JVM with large -Xmx value. The host has ample memory to succeed yet it fails. I see this error when I'm starting tomcat with a bunch of options but found that it can be easily reproduced by starting the JVM with -Xmx2048M and -version. So it's this boiled down test case that I've been examining more closely.

Any ideas?

These are the relevant java options we are using:
-server -XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow -XX:+PrintClassHistogram -XX:+UseLargePages -Xms6g -Xmx6g -XX:NewSize=256m -XX:MaxNewSize=256m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled -XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000 -Djava.awt.headless=true
This is a web application that is very dynamic and uses lots of database calls to build pages. We use a large clustered cache to reduce trips to the database. So being able to acces lots of memory is important to our application.
I'll explain some of the more uncommon options:
We use the Concurrent Garbage collector to reduce stop the world GC's. Here are the CMS options:
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled An explicit coded GC invokes the Concurrent GC instead of the stop the world GC.
-XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrentThe default PermSizes where not large enough for our application. So we increased them.
-XX:PermSize=128m
-XX:MaxPermSize=192mWe had some exceptions that were omitting their stack traces. This options fixes that problem:
-XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrowWe approximate between 10% to 20% performance improvement with Large Page support. This is an advance feature.
-XX:+UseLargePagesUseLargePages requires OS level configuration as well. In SUSE10 we configured the OS's hugepages by executing
echo "vm.nr_hugepages = 3172" >> /etc/sysctl.confand then rebooting. kernel.shmmax may also need to be modified. If you use Large Page be sure to google for complete instructions.
When we transitioned to 64bit we transitioned from much slower systems having 4GB of ram to much faster machines with 8GB of ram, so I can't answer the question of degraded performance, however with our application, the bigger our cache the better our performance, so if 64bit is slower we more than make up for it being able to access more memory. I bet the performance difference depends on the applications. You should do your own profiling.
You can run both the 32bit version and the 64bit version on most 64bit OSes. So if there is a significant difference run the version you need for the application. For example if you need the memory use the 64bit version if you don't then use the 32bit version.

Popup LOV fails in firefox when using an outer join!!!

I have a popup lov which contains at least 2 outer joins in my query. The popup renders fine in IE but i get the error message:
"Popup List of Values query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different"
when launching the popup from Firefox (1.5.0.2)
Anyone got any idea why this works in IE but fails in Firefox?
Cheers
Duncan

Hello,
Duncan If you'll run your example code on SQL*Plus, you'll see that for department "OPERATIONS" there is no returned value. This could happen with outer join. The problem can be with the way FF is interpreting this non-value. I didn't try it my self, but maybe if you'll use display null value with your LOV, it will solve the problem. Another possible option is to use NVL() on the returned value.
Chris Some of the Apex team members, like Carl, are using FF as their main browser. There are some compatibility issues with the last version of FF, but from that, to your conclusion of Apex only support IE, there's a long road.

Arie.

What could have possibly gone wrong? I also tried to reset the passwords of administrator and the user and restart the kdc services. It didn't help.
Thanks.

I am not sure, the exact behaviour must be specified somewhere, but I was not able to find any precise documentation on the topic. It may be, that the DC preferes AES if allowed by the client and it may colide with the setting on the user account.
Anyway, why do you use the checkbox at all? If you wanted to enforce DES, you could have enabled the "System Cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing and siging" policy which would switch the whole environment to DES or AES automatically.
The user account setting is meant to only those accounts that are used by non-windows services IMHO.

When using New-Panorama Elements shuts down

I am running Elements on Windows 8. Despite years of trouble free use, suddenly when trying to use the panorama option, each time Elements shuts down. I have already re-installed Elements but no change. Any idea ?

Corrupted fonts could cause a problem whether you're using them or not. Try uninstalling them from the Fonts folder and see if that fixes things.
Also, try trashing/resetting Preferences.

Design fails co-sim when using DATAFLOW directive

hi, there's a function in my design that i want to turn on the DATAFLOW directive,
but whenever i do so the co-simulation fails,
and HLS warns that the RTL produces 'X' values.
the function looks like this:
void appKernel(const uint32_t in_buf[ROWS][COLS],
const uint32_t in2_buf[ROWS][COLS], uint32_t out_buf[ROWS][COLS]) {
#pragma HLS ARRAY_RESHAPE variable=out_buf complete dim=2
#pragma HLS ARRAY_RESHAPE variable=in2_buf complete dim=2
#pragma HLS ARRAY_RESHAPE variable=in_buf complete dim=2
#pragma HLS DATAFLOW
#pragma HLS INLINE off
uint32_t aryA_size;
uint32_t aryB_size;
uint32_t aryC_size;
double aryA[ARY_ROWS][ARY_COLS];
#pragma HLS ARRAY_RESHAPE variable=aryA complete dim=2
double aryB[ARY_ROWS][ARY_COLS];
#pragma HLS ARRAY_RESHAPE variable=aryB complete dim=2
double aryC[ARY_ROWS][ARY_COLS];
#pragma HLS ARRAY_RESHAPE variable=aryC complete dim=2
pre_process(in_buf, aryA_size, aryA);
pre_process(in2_buf, aryB_size, aryB);
linearR(aryA_size, aryA, aryB_size, aryB, aryC_size, aryC);
post_process(aryC_size, aryC, out_buf);
After looking into the trace waveform i found this:
You can see that the "aryC" ping-pong buffer was written into it 'X' values at the addr 22.
However at the upper part of waveform, the ap_start, ap_continue, ap_done handshakes for "linearR" looks fine.
Also, the design works correctly when DATAFLOW was not used.
The "linearR" function at its end writes to "aryC" in a for loop that looks like this:
loop_ary_rows: for (int i = 0; i < num_beat; i++) {
#pragma HLS PIPELINE II=1
#pragma HLS LOOP_TRIPCOUNT min=1 max=32
loop_ary_cols: for (int j = 0; j < ARY_COLS; j++) {
a[j + 3] = aryA[i + 1][j];
b[j] = aryB[i][j];
if (a[j] == b[j])
aryC[i][j] = 5.0;
else
aryC[i][j] = 7.0;
a[0] = a[4];
a[1] = a[5];
a[2] = a[6];
So, what is wrong and how do i go about debugging it ?

Reports6i reports fail to run when used with parameters

Hi there,
I have successfully got reports 6i integrated with Portal. I can expose a report into a content area and run it as type HTMLCSS etc.
However, when I change the report component to use the parameters it all goes wrong. I have added the user parameters in my report in the portal report definition 'edit' settings and made them visible via the customize option. I have then edited the properties for the item in the content area and turned on the parameter form.
When I click on the item to run the report the parameter screen is displayed (with unfriendly P_PARAM_1 style titles which I would also like to change) and I enter the values and run the report. It bombs out with:
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Report Job has terminated with error.

The parameter form in Reports works fine. Do I need to change anything for web based parameter forms?
Any ideas?
John

Ok, got it working by ensuring that I have displayed the DESFORMAT to the parameter screen. Weird! Must you always display System Parameters?
I would still like to change the parameter titles on the parameter screen. Can this be done?

"Filter failed" in CUPS when using IPP (HP LaserJet 500 color M551)

I have two ArchLinux machines, one with HP LaserJet 500 color M551 connected over USB and another one on the same network. Printing over network (ipp) doesn't work: CUPS on the client says "Filter failed", so the job doesn't even reach the server. Printing directly from the server works perfectly fine, there's no "Filter failed" message and it just prints.
Both machines have the same ArchLinux installation, they are both x86_64, they have hpijs installed and the same PPD selected. This WiKi entry didn't help and the printer differs from the one discussed here, so it doesn't seem to be a well-known issue. :-(
I tried to reinstall the printer on the client many times, using both DNSSD and direct URI input. All this seems to work fine. The filter that fails is probably /usr/lib/cups/filter/hpps, but I have no idea how to get debugging info from it, i.e., why it fails etc. The same filter works just fine on the server.
I thought this might have something to do with the distinction between PostScript and the HP PCL variants. Enabling Adobe TBCP should fix this by adding the appropriate binary metadata and escaping things as needed... However, switching TBCP on in the CUPS printer settings stopped the printer from working. The printer appeared to be OK and responsive, but simply didn't print anything. Disabling TBCP fixed this on the server, but the client shows the "Filter failed" message, no matter what's happening on the server.

I have similar problems with network printing (from various 32-bit and 64-bit Arch systems) producing 'Filter failed' messages, while directly printing from the CUPS server - with USB connection to the device - works as expected. My all-in-one device is an HP Photosmart C4480 and everything worked fine a few weeks ago. (Ironically, I can get network scanning using Xsane!) I've tried reinstalling, and various drivers to no avail.
It's very frustrating, and I think I've tried everything suggested in the Wiki.
Added later, after setting 'LogLevel debug' in cupsd.conf:
