Free-form Character Restriction

Is there a way to restrict the use of specific characters (e.g., !, @) in a free-form text field?

Hi Cherie,
   Write a validation with following expression :
   FIND(<your column here>,"@")<1
   And set 'Automatic Execution' to Error.

Select text based on format (free form style text)

As suggested by Apple, I'm trying to create my first ePub using Pages as opposed to inDesign.
I only have a PDF as a source file and don't want to re-type all the text.
When I copy the text from the PDF and paste to Pages, the text comes in with the 'free form' style applied no matter what options I select during copy and paste.
In order to produce an ePub, I need to set styles for the text. This is quite tedious.
Is there any way to select text based on the way it is formatted when styles are not applied to the text?

Here is a script which may be useful if your problem surface again.
--{code}
--[SCRIPT words_attributes_to_Style]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : words_attributes_to_Style.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Pages et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Ouvrir un document Pages contenant des mots soulignés
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Pages puis choisir “words_attributes_to_Style”
Le script appliquera :
le style "Souligné" aux mots soulignés
le style "Accentuation" aux mots en gras
le style "Italic" (si vous l'avez créé) aux mots en italique.
--=====
L’aide du Finder explique:
L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
--=====
Save the script as a Script: words_attributes_to_Style.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Pages and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Select a Pages document embedding underlined words
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Pages, then choose “words_attributes_to_Style”
The script will apply :
the named style "Underlined" to the underlined words
the named style "Emphasis" to bolded words
the named style "Italic" (assuming that you defined it) to italicized words.
--=====
The Finder’s Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

Filling of S table fails for fields with free form text or description

Hello Everyone,
We are trying to rollup a new InfoCube into our BWA system and it fails with a short dump CONVT_CODEPAGE with exception being CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE when filling up S table for a description field.
The only difference between the new InfoCube we are trying to load and the other existing InfoCubes is that, the new InfoCube we are trying to load has a field/InfoObject which is free form description for a line item field.
Also, when I checked the application log the system gives out the message "A Character Set conversion is not possible".
Did anyone encounter this issue when trying to create BWA indexes for InfoCubes which have text columns in the InfoCube.
We are currently at revision 52.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dharma,
It's an interesting and new BWA case for me, so sorry no direct answer. I'll try to replicate it in free time I hope you opened a message with SAP Support for this.
From pure BW modeling perspective I normally model this in a way that this "description" Characteristic A is marked as "Attribute-only" and then used as a display attribute of another Characteristic B, e.g. Line Item Number. From BWA perspective it means that A is not indexed into the accelerator and joined only for display during OLAP time.

How do I set the default Hero image in a Muse slideshow widget when using Free Form Thumbnails?

Hello,
I am trying to find out how to set the default Hero image when using a Muse slideshow widget and in the Layout section I have the "Free Form Thumbnails"
box checked.
In other words, when the page loads I want to define which image displays as the first Hero image.
If I do not select the "Free Form Thumbnails" option, the top left Thumbnail image always displays first. This is fine.
But when I select the Free Form Thumbnails" checkbox I don't know how to define which image shows first as the Hero image.
I have a short video at this link where I illustrate the question:
http://amson.org/misc/default-hero-image-1.mp4
I have added a WMV video file at the link below:
http://amson.org/misc/default-hero-image-1.wmv
Okay… I think I've worked out how to do it!
[1] First have the "Free Form Thumbnails" box UNCHECKED.
[2] Organize the Thumbnails and place the image that you want to be the first Hero image when the page loads in the top left corner of the Thumbnails group.
[3] When you "Preview Site In Browser" the Thumbnail image in the top left corner will always display as the first Hero image.
[4] If you want "Free Form Thumbnails" go ahead now and SELECT that checkbox.
[5] Whichever image was in the top left of the Thumbnail group before you checked "Free Form Thumbnails" will still show up as the first Hero image when the page loads, regardless of where that thumbnail image is located within the Thumbnail images group.
Thanks very much.
Chris.

Hi,
The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
Hope it clarifies the things.

Free form search problem

Hello Experts,
There is a qualifier table in which 'Due Date' is one of the field (of data type Date).
Now, In Data Manager when I try the free form search by entering date in the 'Due Date' field as the filter, it does not show up any records, although there are many records with such date (12/29/2012).
What is going wrong ? Can someone please help ?
Thank you

Hi,
Where are you searching these records for this Due Date..?
You will find records corresponding to this date, Please select Main table as you current table in MDM data Manager. In Free-form search you will find this field and there you need to select this 12/31/9999 from calendar. Once you set this you would able to see filter records with this criteria.
Kindly revert with result.

Difference between Circular, Rectangular and Free form Antenna??

Hi All,
What is the difference between a Circular, Rectangular and a Free form field Antenna other than the physical appearance?
Thanks,
Shridhar..

Hi Shridhar,
RFID Antennas
RFID antennas are always connected to an interrogator. This allows for the transmission of signals to and from the tag.
Antenna Design
Depending on the design, antennas can be either mono-static or bi-static:
Mono-static antennas are based on a principle by which a single antenna transmits a signal coming from the interrogator to the area as well as receives a signal coming from tags and these functions are switched in fractions of seconds. This requires use of a circulator in a reader that multiplexes the receive and transmit signals through a single port. There is some loss and phase distortion due to the use of a circulator.
Bi-static antennas include two antennas, where one antenna is dedicated to transmitting, and the other antenna is dedicated to receiving. Both dedicated antennas can be but do not have to be in the same casing. In bi-static antenna, a circulator is not required, which improves the performance and sensitivity of the antenna.
Antenna Polarity
Antenna polarity is very important because it affects the quality of communication between the interrogator and tag.
The interrogator's antenna and the tag's antenna should have the same polarization. If polarization is not realized, a severe loss in signal, along with a drastic decrease in a read range, which results in unsuccessful communication with a tag, can be experienced.
<b>Polarization can be either circular or linear.</b>
Linear polarization is relative to the surface of the earth.
<b>Linear polarization can also be either horizontal or vertical:</b>
Horizontally polarized signals propagate parallel to the earth.
Vertically polarized signals propagate perpendicular to the earth.
Antennas with circular polarization can receive signals from both the vertical and horizontal planes by injecting the signal at two points on the antenna radiated slightly out of phase creating a rotating effect on the field. However, there is a slight loss of signal strength, due to the constructive and deconstructive effect of the field being slightly out of phase.

How to free-form transform/distort image?

Hello, everyone!
I need to fit my photo on a video of a hand-held piece of paper that is a little distorted by holding in fingers and moving.
I tracked it using planar tracker (Mocha Pro) and exported into Motion, so now I have 4-corner pinned rectangle in different layer, matching movement of 4 corners of this paper piece for all length of clip.
BUT, as paper is not just 4 cornered (but has some push distortion, imagine you hold a soft piece of paper in hand), just matching movement of this rectangle won't help, I think I need to free-form distort some parts of my photo to perfectly fit in my final render.
Is it possible to do such a simple thing? I surfed all internet, but didn't find an answer (everywhere is a TV Screen, or plain sheet of paper replacement that have just 4 corners with no distortion). All i found is just a CHV Deform FX plugin, but it costs some money, and I don't believe Motion doesn't have this function itself. Or there's another way of solving a problem?
If you don't understand what i mean, just let me know, I'll upload a video or photos to show it.
Thanks everyone who will help me, I'm f*ing about 3 days about this and even can't sleep thinking of solution...

hi,
motion can't do this kind of mesh deformation on its own. I believe the chv plugin does have this kind of thing, but I don't know how useful it is. The only solutions I can think of are hopelessly time consuming and wouldnt look convincing.

Is there a time limit for how long a free form can be used/accessed?

Is there a time limit for how long a free form that is created can be used/accessed, or is it soely dependent upon when the 50 respondent max has been reached? I am creating a form now, that will likely be distributed in early January, and I want it to be accessible through the end of June, 2013. (I am simply using the option to create a single form for free- not the 30-day trial).

There is no time limit. The limit is the 50 responses.

Free form partner function field in Sales document header and item..

Hello Experts,
Is there anyway we can use the partner functions functionality in Sales document header and item level, so that we can enter a free form number in the Partner field? I mean is it possible to be able to enter a free form number WITHOUT getting validated against corresponding master data like Customer or Vendor master, Contact person, Personnel or User master records?

Hi,
It is not possible.
Because partner function will be determined in the sales document header and item as per the configuration you have done in the partner determination.
It is not possible to enter a number wihich is not created and assigned.

Free-form adjustment to "Quick Selection Tool"

Hello,
I hope this is not one of those requests were the functionality already exists and I just can't find it.
Would it be possilble to allow for a free-form, drag with pixel level presision changes to the selection already determined by the "quick selection tool" AI. Most of the time when I use the tools, it selects 95% of what I intended but never quite right. Any further addition to the selection goes way overboard and selectes way beyond my intended precision.
Thank you,
John

Hello,
The problem is when the AI determines what it thinks is the actual object but does not include the entire object. Specifically when I have a linen set that needs color adjustment to match a more true to life representation of a LCD/LED screen. Several of the images have stacked sheet sets, one on top of the other. Thet have curved edges on the vertical plane and flat on the horizonal. The AI selects most of the single object but often misses the verticle edging. When I try to add more analysis point to converge the entire object, it overestimates and grabs other sheet sets. I want to do minute additions to the edging once the AI grabs as much correctly as possible.
I hope this explains the core issue a little more.
Thanks,
John

Special Character Restrictions for Native XML Driver

Hi,
I have found the following special character restrictions in the documentation:
"Because they are handled specially by the Native XML driver, do not use the following special characters to define element types and attributes in your XML schema:u201C.u201D, u201C/u201D, u201C\u201D, u201C:u201D u201C@u201D."
After checking the createad XML-Files in our projects that we will use for CR4E there is often a u201C.u201D in the definition. Because this is delivered from third-party, we wish that the u201C.u201D will be enabled.
In the moment we create the XSD-Files from the XML-File with XML2XSD.
It is possible in the future?
Best Regards
Arnold Meier

The changes aren't in XI Release 2, but in 2008.
Do you still have Nha's XML data? I edited Document_Policy, Policy_AllCoverages, Policy_Beneficiary to Document.Policy, Policy.AllCoverages, Policy.Beneficiary, then use the following code in CR4E 2.0:
reportClientDocument reportClientDocument;
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo;
PropertyBag propertyBag;
* Connect to the Java Print Engine and create a new document.
reportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDocument.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
reportClientDocument.newDocument();
* Define connection to the XML and XSD files.
propertyBag = new PropertyBag();
propertyBag.put("Local XML File", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\tueda\\Desktop\\nha.xml");
propertyBag.put("Local Schema File", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\tueda\\Desktop\\nha.xsd");
propertyBag.put("Convert Multivalue to Table", Boolean.FALSE);
propertyBag.put("Database DLL", "crdb_xml.dll");
connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
connectionInfo.setAttributes(propertyBag);
* Specify the dataset in the XML as a Table, and add to the report.
Table table = new Table();
table.setConnectionInfo(connectionInfo);
table.setName("Document.Policy/Policy.Beneficiary");
table.setAlias("Document_Policy/Policy_Beneficiary");
reportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().addTable(table, null);
* Save report to file C:\local_xml.rpt
reportClientDocument.saveAs("nha_local_xml.rpt", "C:\\", ReportSaveAsOptions._overwriteExisting);
reportClientDocument.close();

Why I'm not able to change status? Could anyone help me out of this?

Free Form Template and Combining Chart Values during Runtim

Hi Guys,
Need your expertise on this. We received some unreasonable request for the following:
1. Free Form Template DURING Runtime
- moving charts from one place to another by dragging them from one place to another during runtime
2. Combining of Chart values during Runtime
-to be able to mash-up 2 different charts during runtime. For example, dragging a chart to another chart
would result to a combined-value of chart. For instance, you have a Sales Chart and a Production Chart,
if and when Sales Chart is dragged and placed on top of Production Chart then it would mash-up the values
and will produce only one chart.
Is this even possible?
Hope you guys can help.
Kind Regards and Many Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark
1. Free form template is not possible with current version of Dashboard Designer. You may use the option of Dynamic Visibility to simulate this. But this might not serve your requirement 100 %.
2. Your requirement of mixing up chart just by dragging and droping on another is coming under Designing part. For designing we need software, in my point of view. Xcelsius is a Tool to generate required output in various formats. Here we need to finalise the output such as chart type/ data to be displayed/ format to be displayed, etc and while viewing we may play with data but not with objects other than dynamic visibility.
Hope this clarifies.
With best wishes

Character Restriction in Node Name

Hi,
Anyone can advise where the character restriction is set for a node name (member name).
I want to add a member into a hierarchy, but I does not allow me to enter the following characters:
(space), + ( ) & %. Everytime I type the character, it just like the keyboard has been locked. No message or
error saying the character is not allowed because of a specific validation.
Thanks.

Hi Tanuja,
Thanks for your help. That is correct.
Is there a way to set the restriction into a specific hierarchy, not in system preference?
For example, if the account name is used in HFM, then do not allow + - character in any of the name.
While if the account name is used in Essbase only, allow the use of + - character?
Regards,
Lian
