JPA Merge Issue

class A
@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
List<B> Bs;
B
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
long id;
Scenario :
I Saved A. Then Added an Item to list Bs. Then merged A. The new B is saved in the database, but the id of new B is still 0. so when i try to merge A again, B gets overwritten.

Same issue is discussed on the EclipseLink forum at:

Cells merge issue when extracting webi report in excel format

Hi Experts,
We have some WEBI reports in BO XI 3.1.
The reports have header where we are showing report name and some values which user selects in prompt.
Now the issue is that when we save our webi report in excel format, many cells get merge.
I have read many post on scn which suggest some solutions like changing the autofit width option to no and aligning the header width with colums.
Tried both the option but no success.
Is there any other way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rishabh

Hi,
We managed to find the workaround for this merge cell issue.
Sharing it might be helpful for someone.
- Align the report name and other block in report in such a way that the ends are in line with the end point of any column. The only limitation is that when applying pivot to the excel output we neet to click on any of the ccolumn so that excel identify the data set.
- Second workaround is to break the webi document in two parts report1 will contain the report name and the block to show the prompt values selected by the user where as report2 will contain the table withactual data. The only limitation with this workaround is that when exporting the repot output to excel we will get two tabs in the excel sheet one containing the prompt values and secont tab containing the actual data.

Data merge issues in InDesign CS4

Hello
I'm having an issue with a data merge document that I've made. The issue I'm having is when ever I "update content in data fields" items are deleted off of the page. I have rebuilt it several times but always get the same issue, any ideas?
Cheers
Jack

That's a feature I have not used, but could not replicate.
It seems for that feature, you have set up a merge doc with the fields on the Master Page? (preferred method) and created the merged document, edited the data source, gone to the Data Merge Panel and selected Update Content in Data Fields? That generated a log of updated records on my machine with the new data.
More info needed on your process.

SAP JPA setMaxResults issue

Hello,
I'm operating on a large table with a few million of records using SAP JPA running on AS Java 7.3.1 and Oracle 11g. While analyzing a performance issue, I came across a DB trace that led me to think that the setMaxResults() method on Query objects may not be working the way I think they were.
I execute a SELECT and apply setMaxResults(100) to the DB along with a WHERE clause, but Oracle SQL trace shows only the SELECT and WHERE clauses. I expect setMaxResult to be applied as a ROWNUM parameter at the end of the WHERE clause, so if I execute a statement like:
Query q = "SELECT ent FROM ENTLargeTable ent WHERE ent.type = 1";
List list = em.createQuery(queryString).setMaxResults(100).getResultList();
DB trace shows:
SELECT id, name, type FROM LargeTable WHERE type = 1 ORDER BY id
where I expect it to be something like:
SELECT id, name, type FROM LargeTable WHERE type = 1 and ROWNUM < 100 ORDER BY id
My list is 100 records long indeed, but I run into Oracle TMP and performance related issues probably because this is trying to scan the whole table first.
Appreciate any ideas on this.
Kind Regards,
Gökhan

Hi Gökhan,
As you say the "list is 100 records long indeed", it behaves correctly as defined in the JPA spec - though I agree there is most likely potential for optimization. The best approach would be to open an SAP support ticket.

Account merging issues

So I merged my account to my windows ID (hotmail) when I got windows 8.1 and installed it. I merged my account because the default skype that comes with 8.1 forced me to do so, not upset about that, just a fact. The issue at hand is now that I'm trying to use it again because it works better on my home connection, it's telling me I need to merge my account again. Which I can't do because it's already merged and not allowing me to login, are there any quick fixes for this? I'm sorry if this has been posted before, to be honest I didn't look very hard and I'm just kind of frustrated and hoping someone can give me a link or quick answer. I need to use it for my job and can't do so because of this. The Downloaded client doesn't work very well on my home connection which wasn't an issue until today. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Update: I have found the cause of this strange behaviour.
The problem was the relationship between Account/Parent Account using S_ORG_EXT.PAR_OU_ID
Looking at the Siebel log file I saw the same SQL statements was issued thousands of times (with the same variables bound) and it showed up that Account A had Account B as it's parent account, while Account B had Account A as it's parent account. During the merge process Siebel seems to do some checks where in this case it runs into an infinite loop which explains the open cursors reaching the max value after a while.
Siebel seems to throw an error when trying to create such an invalid structure through the UI (circular loop detected - invalid hierarchy structure) but it seems somehow the relationship came into the system (EIM?).
So now that the invalid structure was removed manually, the merge completed.
Thanks

Spring JPA + Toplink Issues

Heya,
I followed a developer works tutorial on integrating Toplink with Spring, and everything seemed to go well, when I start up the application, it looks like Toplink finds all my annotations and validates them (if any where invalid, it sure lets me know). However, when I go to persist my object, I get an IllegalArgumentException:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Object: au.gov.nla.aons2.registry.domain.Registry@f3b83 is not a known entity type.
     at oracle.toplink.essentials.internal.sessions.UnitOfWorkImpl.registerNewObjectForPersist(UnitOfWorkImpl.java:3198)

My Registry should be valid; at first I thought it was something to do with class hierarchies, but I removed that from the equation and I'm still getting the error. My class looks like this:

I really don't get it... I think I'm going to have a look at the source and see if I can figure it out. Apart from this problem, I was really enjoying JPA;P

Okay, I think I've found the problem, but don't know what is causing it. When my code attempts to persist my object, it fails on the Class.equals method. For some reason (classloaders I'll bet), there are two instances of the Class Registry, with two different object ids - so when it calls:
// Optimize descriptor lookup through caching the last one accessed.
ClassDescriptor lastDescriptor = this.lastDescriptorAccessed;
if ((lastDescriptor != null) && (lastDescriptor.getJavaClass().equals(theClass))) {
return lastDescriptor;
And should match, the Class.equals() fails:
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
     return (this == obj);
So... what now, if it is a class loading issue, how do I ensure that there is only one copy of the Registry class object instantiated. If it isn't a class loading issue, what else could it be?

Unattend.xml parsing/merging issue with SCVMM 2012 R2

Hi all
I have a problem with a new install of SCVMM 2012 R2. I have created templates for 2008 R2, 2012 and 2012 R2. I have an issue with the unattend.xml losing some of its configuration when the 2012 and 2012 R2 templates are built, this issue however doesn't
occur on a 2008 R2 template build.
I have generated unattend.xml files for all 3 OS's using System Image Manager in the latest AIK using the original install.wim from each OS media.
In the unattend.xml file I have specified language settings, and a few other bits but the issue I have is when I configure autologon with local admin and password. I specify a logon count of 1, I also specify a GUIRunOnce command in SCVMM and not the answerfile.
The problem is the resulting merged unattend.xml has a logon count of 999 and no GUIRunOnce command. I have tried different variations where I specify GUIRunOnce in the xml and not SCVMM, applying the autologon to the Template or Guest OS profile and
all end with the resulting xml with logon count of 999 and no GUIRunOnce. If I remove the autologon part then GUIRunOnce gets parsed and works correctly.
As mentioned this only happens with Server 2012 and 2012 R2, 2008 R2 works correctly.
Any ideas?

Hi Kevin
I am struggling with the same thing during bare metal installs of Hyper-V hosts. In my case I have managed to narrow it down to the language settings in the oobe pass. If I include them, parsing of the unattend file halts (without an explicit error anywhere)
and the host fails to join the domain. Could you try to leave out the language settings in oobe pass and see if it then completes as expected? Would be interesting to see if it actually is the same issue with a slightly different flavour :)
EDIT: Got a bit further now with the new release of WS2012 R2. All the testing I've done has been with the 05182 build. Stumbled across KB2913316 which stated that a new build (31419) was released december 11th. Allthough the KB does not directly apply to our
issue I thought I'd give it a go, so I went about building a new vhdx-image. Low and behold - the first test went smoothly applying all the settings in the unattend file! I'm going to continue testing to make sure the successful run wasn't just a fluke.

Validity period merging issue for time dependent master data

Hello All,
I am trying to load the data from DSO ZDSO1 to Master data object ZCASE1. Attribute "ZATR1" of ZCASE1 is the time dependent attribute of ZCASE1.
ZDSO1 contains "Changed On" field which defines the "Valid From" period for attribute "ZATR1" of case ZCASE1.
For eg.
ZDSO1 contains below records for Case 'C1':
Case ID     Changed On ZATR1
C1              01.01.2014     01
C1              02.01.2014     01
C1              02.15.2014     07
C1              02.17.2014     07
My transformation from ZDSO1 to infoobject ZCASE1 contains below mapping:
Case ID - Direct Mapping - ZCASE1 object
Constant value '12/31/'9999' - VALID TO field
Changed on - Direct Mapping - DATE FROM field
ZATR1 - Direct Mappint - ZATR1 object
After loading the data from ZDSO1 to ZCASE1 below results are obtained:
Case ID     VALID FROM VALID TO   ZATR1
C1             01.01.1000    12.31.2013 BLANK
C1             01.01.2014    01.31.2014 01
C1             02.01.2014    02.14.2014 01
C1             02.15.2014    12.31.9999 07
Time-Dependency is define correctly however my concern is why second and third records were not merged together. Instead of having four records, I should have ideally received THREE records. As shown above, third and fourth record (value 07) from ZDSO1 are merged into SINGLE record in infoobject ZCASE1.
For the subsequent data, it again does the same thing.
For eg. If I receive below Delta record from ZDSO1:
C1   03.01.2014 07
I get FIVE records in infoobject ZATR1 as shown below:
Case ID     VALID FROM VALID TO   ZATR1
C1             01.01.1000    12.31.2013 BLANK
C1             01.01.2014    01.31.2014 01
C1             02.01.2014    02.14.2014 01
C1             02.15.2014    02.28.2014 07
C1             03.01.2014    12.31.9999 07
In my understanding, BW system should have merged this Delta record with the last record present in infoobject because both the records have same ZATR1 value.
I would really appreciate your help/suggestions to understand/resolve this issue.
Thank You,
Nilima

Hey Arun,
While there wasn't any other time-dependent attribute apart from ZATR1, there is another time-independent attribute ZATR2 of ZCASE1 whose value was changed and hence somehow system was not able to merge the validity range.
Thank You.

Topology Merge Issues

New to Lync 2013 and I'm trying to bring the 2013 server online in an environment with Communicator 2007 R2. I've installed and set up Lync at this point.
When I get to the step of the topology merge, I have issues that are primarily due to uncertainty and, therefore, errors. I have run the backward compatibility WMI, so I'm set there.
I begin the merge and try to merge without specifying an edge server, I get an error that says "No Office Communications Server 2007 / Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Edge has been enabled for federation." Do I need to do something to the
2007 R2 server to prepare it?
If I do the topology merge and specify edge type as Single Edge Server, I am asked to input the FQDN for various aspects of the merge. The first is the Edge Pool. I put in the name of the server (let's call it communicator.internaldomain.com). But then,
the next question is Web Conferencing external FQDN. When I go onto the 2007 server and look, the FQDN is the same for all of these questions. They are all "communicator.internaldomain.com". But the topology merge tool requires they be different.
Am I just supposed to make something up? Should I be changing the 2007 R2 server in some way to prepare it for these questions? Like changing the web conferencing FQDN on 2007 R2? Or are these newly created FQDN's that are part of the install process?
To be clear, we have a single internal communicator standard 2007 R2 server, which is being used for netmeeting as well as standard communicator. There are no other legacy servers, but the device is available externally via firewall rules and an external
DNS entry for this server (which matches the internal server name). The LYNC 2013 server is a new setup.
Confused.
Thanks lots,
Kaden

Firstly you should be able to safely ignore the No Office Communications Server 2007 / Office Communications
Server 2007 R2 Edge has been enabled for federation error.
I haven't done one of these in a few months, but I had the exact same deployment scenario (single OCS2007R2,
which I then migrated to Lync 2013 and added external services.
From memory are you able to just click "Next" and not add an Edge when doing the merge if you don't have
one - I think that's what I did. And then I added an Edge to my 2013 topology later.

InDesign Data Merge Issues...

Hey all, I'm relatively new to using InDesign, I've used it previously for basic artwork layouts etc, and I'm familiar with Illustrator and Photoshop, but InDesign is something I'm still getting to grips with.
I run a mailing company and we have an ongoing requirement for variable data merging. Software designed for variable data work when dealing with PDFs and high res images is incredibly expensive, and so I figured I could try and make use of InDesign's own data merging feature.
Now I'm fully aware of some of the irritating little issues surrounding this tool, such as the way if you've got two blank fields it only removes one of them, and I also know it used to have an issue where it would pull data through from the next record to replace blanks, but I don't see that happening any more.
There are lots of webpages and forums discussing the blank fields problem, but my problem is currently something else.
I've noticed that some of the fields often don't like to display anything other than the header row, the field name. You drop the field onto the page and create your merge, but when you preview it or publish it whilst most of the fields do as expected and change to show the data, some of the fields do not, they just continue to show <contact> for instance, rather than a name.
I'm at a loss to explain this really, it's not even particularly consistent.
As an example of my problem, I laid out the following address block
<Contact>
<Add1>
<Add2>
<Add3>
<Add4>
<Add5>
<Postcode>
What I get sometimes is this...
<Contact>
123 Sample Street
Sample Town
Sample County
Sample Postcode
Or...
Mr AB Sample
123 Sample Street
Sample Town
<Add3>
Sample Postcode
If you add the same field again beneath the one that is playing up, the new field will work, but the one beneath it will then play up, so where in the example above it is <Add3> that isn't merging, if I added another <add3> beneath it, I could almost guarantee that <Add4> would then play up.
I just don't understand it, and it's frustrating me immensely.
Ironically I know a local professional printers who are using InDesign for all their digital variable print runs, without issue, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. They are using Macs whereas I am using a PC with Windows 7 Ultimate x 64bit, but I've had the same problem on other Windows version, so is it a Windows related problem, or are Mac users just not spotting this??
Anyone who has ever experienced something similar and perhaps found a solution, please help!!!!!
Best Regards
Richard

RikRamsay14 - thank you for your response, the issue regarding blanks isn't really the concern here, I'm aware of this issue, and the remove blank lines works where this is only one blank field, if there's two blank fields then it only seems to remove one. But I can happily work around this by just shifting all my data across. The data source is fine and is not the problem.
Peter Spier - Many thanks for your reply Peter, I thought you might be on to something with this, so I tried opening it from scratch and merging instantly without the use of any previewing, at first I thought it had worked, but when I got further down the merge results I spotted the same problem, field headers appearing where content should be. These instances are not even where the data cell is blank, it just decides not to display the content, but to display the field header instead, it's inconsistent too so it's really hard to analyse to find a pattern.
My layout incorporates multiple text placeholders containing multiple variable fields. I am starting to wonder if this could be contributing to the fault. I have tried just creating one text placeholder, and then using the multiple record layout option to display the other three images (it's a postcard four-up on an SRA3 sized page, with four address blocks). This seems to be less buggy this way, but I have less control with the layout. I'm going to continue to test this theory today, but it could simply be that it can't cope with multiple variable address blocks.
Thanks for all your help guys.
Regards
Richard

Data Merge issue: Rejects CSV document

I've been using the same business card template for a while now, and it's worked seamlessly with the CSV files I've been getting from our HR department.
After switching to CS3, something went wrong. ID is rejecting the CSV file when I "select data source" in the DataMerge window.
I thought it might be the new version...maybe they switched something up....but I can merge the old CSV's fine, and the new CSV also does not work in CS2.
So I think the problem lies in the CSV file, but I'm not sure where to look, or what to look for.
Has anybody ever had any similar issues?

Perhaps where you have it open is significant.
I can create a CSV file, open and edit it in TextPad, and while it's still open, select it as a data source in InDesign.
Just check.
yep, did it again.

Large Volume Data Merge Issues with Indesign CS5

I recently started using Indesign CS5 to design a marketing mail piece which requires merging data from Microsoft Excel. With small tasks up to 100 pieces I do not have any issues. However I need to merge 2,000-5,000 pieces of data through Indesign on a daily basis and my current lap top was not able to handle merging more than 250 pieces at a time, and the process of merging 250 pieces takes up to 30-45 mins if I get lucky and software does not crash.
To solve this issue, I purchased a Desktop with a second generation Core i7 processor and 8GB of memerory thinking that this would solve my problem. I tried to merge 1,000 piece of data with this new computer, and I was forced to restart Adobe Indesign after 45 mins of no results. I then merged 500 pieces and the task was completed, but the process took a little less than 30 minutes.
I need some help with this issue because I can not seem to find another software that can design my Mail Piece the way Indesign can, yet the time it takes to merge large volumes of data is very frustrating as the software does crash from time to time after waiting a good 30-45 mins for completion.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Operating System is Windows 7
I do not know what you mean by Patched to 7.0.4
I do not have a crash report, the software just freezes and I have to do a force close on the program.
Thank you for your time...

Photo merge issues

Hi all,
I have Elements 3
I am using a pc with winxp
I'm using an Epson CX4600 scanner
I have scanned a poster in four parts because it was too big to fit on my scanner. So now I have four pieces, and I used photo merge to merge them back into one picture. The problem is I am getting dark and light variations on the images that cause one side of the image to be much darker than it originally was, and there are lines on the image that weren't there before. I tried color correcting each piece before putting them back together, I tried adjusting the overall image after flattening the layers but there are lines throughout. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi Bob,
Now that you mention it, the Autostitch documentation is a bit obscure. It
would probably be worth posting my take on the options. This is a
combination of what I've figured out and what's in the Autostitch readme
file. Some of this will repeat what I said before.
1. Output Size
After stitching and cropping, the image is scaled according to the size
specified. You may specify a fixed width in pixels, or a fixed height in
pixels, or do a relative sizing using a scaling factor in percent. The
aspect ratio of the stitched image is preserved.
I use the default small scaling factor for test runs or while playing with
the option settings and 100% scale for the final. I prefer to do the final
cropping and sizing in Photoshop. The specific height/width settings would
be most handy if you had no photo editing program.
2. Blending Method
"None", will give you the original images with no blending.
"Linear", will do a simple weighted average of the image intensities in each
image.
"Multi-band" is more complex but gives the best blending, it uses spatial
frequencies of the intensity. The basic idea is to merge high frequencies
over a short distance and low frequences over a large distance. The default
is 2 frequency bands. It's not clear how the program is handling the blend
if more than 2 bands is specified. Theresearch paper I read just indicated
it was problematic. The sigma value has to do with the statistical weighted
blending of the bands and I couldn't find out the significance of the value.
I assume it has to do with the distribution curve and how many standard
deviations from the mean to include in the weightings.
3. Gain Compensation
Gain compensation modifies the brightness of the images so that they are
consistent with each other. Dark images become brighter and light images
become darker. This appears to be a normalized statistical adjustment using
the mean and standard distribution. Increasing sigma increases the effect.
If saturation occurs, you'll need to decrease the sigma or the mean. I
haven't had to play with this, I match exposures at the time of shooting and
haven't had any issues. I leave gain compensation off.
4. Crop Settings
Autostitch computes adjustments in a spherical coordinate system. Think of
the camera as being at the center of a sphere. Cropping refers to limiting
the angles subtended by the stitched image in this system rather than the
physical dimensions of the output image. Auto is probably the best bet
unless you have a need to fit the image to a specified angular size in
degrees. The Theta values correspond to the left and right yaw angular
measures (longitude in the readme). The Phi values correspond to the bottom
and top pitch angles (latitude in the readme).
5. Matching Options
The matching options are a bit obtuse.
SIFT is the part of the program that extracts features in the overlapping
areas for potential matches. Size has to do with the size of the region
that it searchs for features. Too small and it might not find enough to do a
good match. Too large and you increase the time it takes to process
considerably. You can specify size in pixels or in a percentage of the
image size. The pixel default is probably OK for most images.
RANSAC is the statistical method whereby the extracted features are compared
and the probability of a match is calculated. The parameters aren't
defined anywhere that I could find, so I don't know what they represent. If
I get time, I may research this further later. The readme says try
decreasing alpha and beta if no match is found or increase them if incorrect
matches are assigned.
6. Orientation Settings
Auto straighten has to do with the horizon line. If the panorama images
were not taken with the camera level, the geometric transformations that are
done to stitch together the images and superimpose the matched features can
result in the horizon being vavy (actually, it will be a sine wave). Auto
Straighten will attempt to recognize this and try to make the horizon line
straight again. It mostly works but I had to turn it off on one panorama
because it couldn't figure out where the horizon was and distorted the
image.
The Manual orientation settings let you tweak the image orientation. Again,
think of the camera as being at the center of a sphere. Theta is yaw, Phi is
pitch, and Psi is roll. The values are in degrees.
7. Image Rotation
This option applies to the completed stitched and scaled output image.
Basically, it allows you to rotate the image 90 degrees left or right or by
180 degrees. You can, of course, do this in Photoshop.
8. Other Options
System memory specifies how much memory Autostitch can allocate. Too much
can "starve" the rest of the system and result in an "out of memory"
message. Too little slows down the program.
JPEG quality controls the JPEG compression with 100 being the maximum
quality (least compression).
Hope you find this useful.
Bob

HI
From which Universe the data for invoice object is coming?
You can check the u201Cavoid duplicate aggregationu201D Property from the Table properties to check the results once again.
Basically when you merge the queries a full outer join is implied on the queries.

JPA Metadata issue/ Weird Column error or bug in openjpa ...?
