Low-level Reformatting Issue

Thanks for reading my post.
Summary: I'm trying to do a low-level reformat of two identical drives. One took 2 hours to complete and the other says it will take 14 hours... and it's already been going for 3 hours. Why the difference?
*Longer version:* I have two identical drives from the same manufacturer that I use in RAID-0 for Photoshop and Video scratch. A few months ago, one of the drives started to act up and I got an I/O error message. I broke up the RAID and reformatted the drives but never put them back into RAID; I wound up using them individually as short term storage drives. After I reformatted them, they both passed drive tests and there has been no problems since.
I usually do computer house-keeping over the holidays and decided to put the two drives back into RAID-0 for a fast scratch disk (I don't store longterm data on them). I have a big project coming up and need a fast scratch disk. Anyway, I decided to zero out the disks to make sure any bad blocks that have deveoped over time are mapped out. The first drive zeroed out in a bit over 2 hours. The second has been going for 3 hours and it says that it's going to take 14 hours more! I thought that maybe I selected the more advanced reformat that requires multiple passes so I stopped the formatting to double check. Nope, it's set on basic one pass zeros.
Sorry for the long post, but does anyone know what might be going on here? Do you think the drive is defective? I ran a simple reformat and drive check before I started the low level format and the drive passed. Even if it passes the reformat, I'm left wondering if there is a major issue with the drive that isn't showing up in tests. 16 hours++ to zero out a 320GB drive is insane! Especially when the other exact model drive only took 2 hours.
Thanks for any insight you can provide!

I like to see:
What you used (Apple DU?) and zero a drive is not really LLF.
Make/model etc of the drive(s).
The best way to map out or recertify is with the vendor's own Windows utility, sorry; or, I've read good things about freeware SMART Utility for finding and mapping out weak sectors (they aren't black/white yes/no but can require or exceed threshold for I/O retries and errors).
Drive Tests: don't rely on Apple.
Zero-all 'may' but does not really guarantee, and often fails, at mapping out. 7-way write erase is better.
If a drive is taking too long or excessive, I'd just junk it or RMA and get a new pair (Samsung F3, SSD, V-Raptor....)

Lower level procurement Issue

Hey Gurus,
We have a situation in which we buy 50ml tubes of an epoxy 456 on occassion. Usually we will not buy the 50ml 456 epoxy and buy the components 321 resin and 754 catalyst.
What is the best way to set up the 456 epoxy material to be able to order this material and then also drive the dependent requirements to order material 321 resin and 754 catalyst as well?
I figured we could set up the 321 and the 754 as "F" but I didn't know what to do with the 456. We don't want to create production orders for this material. 456 is technically a phantom when we buy the 321 and the 754.

I guess you can try try below option
Define phantom material as with procurement type F or X if you define it with procurement type X do not maintain its work scheduling view so that production orders will not be created for this material.
Maintain special procurement 50 in MRP2 view of this material and matain its bill of material with components rasin and catalyst. now whenever requiremnt will come for this material dependent requirements will be generated for for its component.
Also if you need to create manual purchase order system should allow manual PO for header material if purchasing view is maintained.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Low-Level NSURLConnection Question

I've been looking all over for about 3 days now, but I can't seem to find any way of making NSURLConnection connect from a specific interface--or even how to access the BSD socket object in order to do it myself. Is this even possible short of implementing my own NSURLConnection?

NSURLConnection is a high-level interface for people who don't want to have to deal with the low-level socket issues. For those details, look at the CFSocketCreate() function. From that, you can call CFStreamCreatePairWithSocket() which will give you some objects that can be cast into NSStream objects and used with higher-level APIs.

Issue in determining Low level codes

Hi Gurus,
We are having an issue running heuristics when running along with Temporary low level codes. We are in SCM 7.0 environment.
The SNP Heuristics jobs are failing with this message "Low-level code
not available for product XXXXXXX at location XXXX
Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE"
Also, the message in the job log for the product in was flagged for deletion and I am not too sure why is this being picked up for processing and then failing?
I tried using SDP relevance as '1' for the product flagged for deletion for testing purposes and then the program is not considering this SKU, but stopping at another SKU and also that SKU is flagged for deletion. But the flip side of using SDP relevance is that that setting is at global level andmay have issues where the SKU is active.
I have couple questions:
1) Is there a way for the program to skip the code which has an error and move forward instead of failing the job? and provide a spool with error codes.Also, to provide the LLC number for all the correct SKU's instead of failing at that point and not generating the LLC's?
2) Why is the program also considering the codes which are flagged for deletion which should not be the case?
Also, I tried another way of maintaining the codes in thevariant which are not flagged for deletion and tried running heuristics in the background but failed at a point and it gave a message stating Low-level code not available for product XXXXXXX at location XXXX, Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
But the product which was displayed in the job log is an active SKU. I am not too sure why the job failed with this error?
I tried running that individual SKU in the background including the temporary determination of LLC, it was successful. I am not too sure why it failed when it was a part of selection?
Any suggestions, would really help us a lot.
Thanks and regards,
Murali

Hi Datta - Thanks for the replies. I was able to have a workaround by using selection profiles excluding the Procurement type 'P' and it worked.
At our client, whenever a product is made 'non-X0' in ECC, procurement type is set to 'P' and by excluding that piece in the variant I was able to continue with my processing.
But still, don't you think the products which are flagged for deletion shouldn't be picked up heuristics?
Thanks and regards,
Murali

SNP - Issue with PDS as source of supply in low-level code run

Hi All:
I have a bunch of PDS that is giving me the following message when the SNP Low-level code is run:
''Invalid source 00000010382991380SLT1 S is not considered for low-level code calculation. The source of suppy 00000010382991380SLT1 S is available actively in the Supply Chain Model. The location product for which the source of supply is intended, does not exist, however, or is no longer assigned to the model. The source of supply is therefore invalid. ''
I tried all of the following but still did not get to work
1. Made sure that FG and all the active component of one FG and the location and the PDS were in an active model.
2. Made sure that there was one production version and hence one PDS
3. Intialiazed the Planning area with the version
But still would not generate the low level code for the product location. Can some one throw share some insight and help pl?
Thanks
Ryan

Could you please check whether in the Product Master, Procurement tab, the Procurement Type is set as "P - external procurement planning"? If yes, then that's the reason as the Low-Level Code is only calculated for Products that are to be planned in APO. In this case, change procurement type to X or E and it should work.

Tiago

Premiere Pro CS6 - A low level exception has occurred in ImporterMPEG

Hi Adobe Community,
I'm having a bit of an issue with the ImporterMPEG.prm plugin for Premiere Pro CS6 that's causing playback and exporting issues.
Computer Specs: Win7 PC, NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 graphics card
Description: After playing back video for a while, Premiere will eventually start repeatedly reporting "A low level exception has occurred in ImporterMPEG". The preview player will be completely frozen, and I'll be unable to export. The exporting will fail with a generic "Unexpected error" message.
This issue has only started a week ago. Until now, I've been able to use Premiere Pro CS6 with no issues. If possible, I'd like to avoid upgrading to CC 2014, because the CS6 version was working fine before.
So far, I've tried a few things:
• Deactivating and reactivating (which, by the way, apparently doesn't help subscription users like me, per my recent chat with Adobe support on this issue)
• Uninstall and reinstall (I didn't know about the CC Cleaner tool at the time, so I haven't tried a clean uninstall yet)
• Change the Preview File Format in Sequence Settings (from I-Frame Only MPEG which had worked since I installed the software over a year ago to Microsoft AVI)
• Crying silently to myself (this did not help, the computer is cold and cruel)
• Clearing out the media cache (which I'd never done before and let it get up to ~75GB without me noticing)
• Moving the plugin from its location in Program Files, hoping that maybe Premiere Pro would notice it was missing and to try to find a new fresh one (it didn't work)
So far, only the Preview File Format change seemed to bring relief, but the bad behavior came back after about a week.
I'm thinking maybe the ImporterMPEG.prm plugin got corrupted somehow? The one notable thing I can remember with the computer in the last few weeks was a power event that shut down my computer unexpectedly. I think I had Premiere Pro open at the time.
If it's relevant, I mostly work with .AVI, .MP4, and .TS files in my projects, all varying resolutions and FPS. I'm usually working with about 1GB of files in a project, very rarely more than 2GB.
Has anyone else had this issue? Or, even better, has anyone else resolved this issue?
Thanks!

But really, the real solution for me was to not update Premiere Pro CS6 after a reinstall. The most recent updates just do not like my computer, I guess.
Figured I should post this solution here in case anyone in the future has this problem. (relevant: xkcd: Wisdom of the Ancients)

Cumulation of lower level item prices to higher level items

Hi,
We have a specific requirement that we use high-level materials that is not relevant for pricing and lower level items connected to higher-level item that are RA and billing relevant. How do we modify the pricing procedure to cumulate (roll-up) the lower level items to higher level item which is not price relevant but statistical value should be updated at this level for billing purpose.
We want to achieve this using/modifying only pricing procedure and not via user exit..
Request SAP experts to provide some inputs to this issue..
BR/Rajasekhar

Hi rajsekhar
But generally if you want to transfer the cost of the sub item to main item then you can check the box Cumulative cost in copy control VTFL . But your requirement is quite opposite .So you need to go to assign a New Reqt / Alt calc type to the cond type , telling that the header item cost which is not relevant for pricing has to be transferred to sub item .So you need to integrate with the ABAP'er to give inputs to him and giving our requirement also

"Low-level" authorizations for accessing BW reports - add users to role

Using the advice in Topic "Low-level" authorizations for accessing BW reports, I have been able to publish a query to a role that has 3 test users and each user gets the same query but with different data, as determined in the tables.
Is there a way to look up the users and e-mail addresses from a table and associate them to the role? We have several hundred e-mail recipients that will not need BW access, but only need an e-mail with a static report that contains data on their own territories.

Hi!
i think programatically it might be complex. You got to maintain a seperate variant of report per user and use this variant to send mail. that means you need to maintain a variant and a Broadcast setting per user. once maintained you can use it any number of times the values will be recalculated everytime.
with regards

Problem: A low level exception occured in: Adobe Player (Player)

I use Premiere Pro CC 7.21 on a 2,4 GHz i5 Macbook Pro with 8GB RAM and OS 10.8.5. My video data (5D Mark II) is on an external hd via firewire800. For a few days now I haven´t bin able to playback the timeline. And I get this error: "A low level exception occured in: Adobe Player (Player)". And when I quit premiere it still works (chrashes) in the background. I did pretty much everything. Well, everything I read about: I uninstalled Premiere and reinstalled it. Made a "root" profile and tried working with it. Changed Audio Hardware settings. Deleted some files in the library I read about. And set back my whole system with time machine. Back to a date when it still worked. Nothing has worked so far. Can anyone help?

Florian,
Sorry about that. See if this post will help you solve this issue: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5158878#5158878

A low level exception occured in: Importer MPEG (Importer)

Okay, first some system specs:
Macbook Pro
2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB RAM
Radeon HD 6750
OSX Lion 10.7.5
Premiere Pro CS6 (updated to lastest available version)
--I remember installing updates a few days ago (maybe last week), but don't remember if any of them were for Premiere and could possibly be the problem.
The trouble I'm having is with one .MTS clip. I have a timeline about 20 minutes in length. I edited the whole thing and had no problems the whole time, with any clip. All clips originally imported correctly, played back fine, etc.
I exported a copy for client review (from Media Encoder CS6) the other day. One clip (the .MTS clip in question) showed as "Media Offline". It is not offline, I did not move the clip, etc. I unlinked the clip in the project, relinked it, and it did show up in the project and was able to be played back.
Exported another copy, found the same error occured with just this one clip. Now I'm noticing that when I open the project, I receive the error in the topic title (A low level exception occured in: Importer MPEG (Importer). The clip will not play back and shows up as "Media Pending", as if it's not coming in correctly. Unlinking and relinking doesn't fix the issue.
I have many other .MTS clips in my timeline. All of them work correctly, play back correctly, and export correctly. There doesn't seem to be any inherent problem with the clip itself; it plays back smoothly in VLC, and I've transcoded it to a .mov to try and just bring that in and get around this stupid issue. This didn't work either; I unlink the clip, then relink to the transcoded .mov -- it actually will play back in the preview monitor, but will not display when trying to view it on my timeline. I have also created a copy of the project, tried this inside of the copy, as well as created a new sequence and pasted over the information; none of that worked either. There are also other sequences this clip is on, and it will not play back in any of them either, but as I mentioned, plays back in the preview.
I did find one other topic with a similar issue; they recommend deactivating Premiere, restarting the computer, and activating it again. I did do a restart initially to try and diagnose the problem, but to no avail. I tried deactivating the program, but the Adobe Application Manager doesn't load; it has almost never loaded for me whenever I try to use it, which is frustrating in and of itself.
I tried creating an entirely new project and importing the other project. When I did this Premiere just froze; I'm assuming it can't handle all the pieces (it's a fairly complex project with hundreds of clips) and they are also coming off an external drive through a USB 3.0 cable.
I've temporarily "fixed" this by bringing in the transcoded clip, resyncing it to to the spot I need it in, and cutting it as necessary. I typed this post as I went and tried various things, and while I've found my way around the problem, it doesn't really solve it. I opened another old project that was very similar to this one and also encountered the same error message. I didn't stick around to find out if there was just one clip causing the issue; the fact that it was there was enough for me.
So, what do I need to be doing here? I'm guessing the stock answer is to uninstall Premiere and reinstall it, which I don't want to do unless I have to since it's a pain in the ***. I'm kind of through the problem for this project, but want to be able to deal with it for the future. Hoping someone with knowledge can chime in and tell me whether it's the update from the other day causing this.
If the answer is to uninstall and reinstall Premiere, do I need to run some cleaner tool? I vaguely remember hearing about that before in regards to uninstalling and reinstalling.

I'm having the same issue here.

Render problem PPRO 2014 Low-level importer error MPEG (Importer)

A problem I have encountered in PPRO CC, and now encountered in my project rendering with insane consistence. Ctrl-M, export to Adobe Encoder 2014, starts render, 3-5 minutes of problem-less rendering, then render fails with the above error in logs. Close PPRo 2014, close Encoder, reopen, reinitialize, might last longer - 10 mins., fails again. PC, i7, 16Gb RAM, 40Gbs scratch SSD disk, Quadro 2000, on the timeline a mix of Panasonic AF100 and the Lumix assortement (GH1 hacked, GH3), plus 2 GoPro 3, all AVCHD or H.264 files.
Could that be a system configuration glitch? Because I noticed that sometimes it would persistently halt render at one and the same spot, other times it will glide through it like knife through butter but halt later on a clip/inbetween clips that were of the same type. On the other hand, on the busy comb of selected clips on multiple tracks in a multi-camera gig, it is most definitely halting renders. Once I've done rendering bit by bit and have a lineup on one track with an adjustement layer on top across teh whole length of the assembled cadence of clips with a few effects on it - it finishes rendering no matter however long the workarea is, no errors then. What is up? This is driving me crazy, rendering turned into tip-toeing around this problem with the assembly of long programming out of 3-5min pieces of successful renders. Help!

I'm having the same issue here.

Repeating the values for the lower levels

Hi friends,
I have an issue regarding OBIEE using the cubes as database?
We have a value set at the year level as 50 for the one fact in the cubes.
when i go to the lower level (i.e.,) month level for that fact i am getting no results...
But i need to get that 50 value for all the months as a constant values......Is there any work around for this ?
Please post ur valued answers...
Thx

Fact you are saying might be the account/measures dimension member in the essbase and is imported to obiee.
You can write a dynamic calc formula in the essbase level to store the constant values for all the periods.
