Merge in CC 2014 not reading data source

I receive a "The data source cannot be opened...." error message when trying to merge in ID CC2014. However, the same data source opens fine in ID CC and ID CS6.
THEN – 10 minutes later, CC2014 will be able to read the data source.
Any ideas....solutions…?
Thanks in advance.

Was the source file recently open in another application? It can take some time for the other application to release a lock on close.

"Could not read from source" exporting on Mac with CS4

I'm using Premiere CS4 on a MacBook Pro, trying to export a film and getting the "could not read from source" message. I did not have CS3, and I'm not on a pc, so the Windows KB articles and posts don't apply. I've read all the posts I can find on the forums but none of these solutions is helping to date.
Are there any troubleshooting steps someone can recommend to figure out what I need to do here?
Here's the trace, any assistance is MUCH appreciated!

Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.

I have been having the same issue on my desktop and laptop, although I have Windows XP Professional. Originally had CS3 and then installed CS4. The problem was fixed by uninstalling everything Adobe (even Reader), using the wincs3sclean, and reinstalling the CS4 products. The first time it did't work on my laptop, so I did it a second time and it worked. I don't have Creative Suite, but this still works. Here is the link to wincs3clean:

I think, u can't bind the system table system columns to the column of the matrix in the form which is bound to the same table.(though, m not sure on this.) service call is by default bound to OSCL. If u try creating a user defined column in OSCL and then bind it, it works. but, if CallId is already bound on form, and u r bnding it one more time, it will give you error.

When I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off. i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up. when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it

when I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off.
i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up.
when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it to factory settings. It also said while restoring ypu will lose all media data but you can restore the contacts.
I restored the factory settings....the phone was on recovery mode...it was verified by itunes and all that..but in the end it again said that iphone has some problem and can not function right now.
after that when ever i connect it with itunes, it gives the message, it can not activate the iphone further, try again later or contact customer service.
What to do now?????? Customer service people say..it is hardware problem

If it's a hardware problem, then the phone will need to be replaced.
There is no magic that can fix a hardware problem.

Server Socket does not read data input stream

Hi all,
I am very newbie to Java Network programming with sockets and multi-threading.
But I am obliged to develop a chat system written in Applets which can be placed on the website and used by visitors who come to my website.
In order to understand this, I have tested a basic web chat program I downloaded from the Internet which use sockets and multi-threadings. The program work fine, no bugs at all at both compilation and run time. I noticed that all three streams for Client side (i.e. first one is input stream used receiving data from User; the second one is socket input stream used for receiving data from Server socket, and the third is socket output stream used for writing data to server socket) were established. And the same, two socket streams (input & output) for Server side were also connected when running program giving right port number and IP address of the server.
The problem is both server and client sockets do not read data using the following stream classes:
1. DataStreamInput: I use input.readUTF() method
2. or BufferedReader: I use input.readLine() method
The example of the codes are below:
private BufferedReader input = null;
private PrintWriter output = null;
private Socket socket = null;
public void open() throws IOException
{ input = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
System.out.println("Server socket input stream was created, and");
output = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
System.out.println("Server socket output stream was created");
public void run()
{ System.out.println("Server Thread " + clientPort + " running.");
while (true)
{ try
System.out.println("Server is reading data from Client, wait...");
String fromClient = input.readLine();
System.out.println("Server received a message on " + clientPort + ".");
catch(IOException ioe)
{ System.out.println(clientPort + " ERROR reading: " + ioe.getMessage());
server.remove(clientPort);
stop();
The problem is at the line: String fromClient = input.readLine(); in the run() method? What is wrong with the codes above?
Note: I also try to use original codes which use readUTF() method in DataStreamInput class instead using readLine() in BufferedReader. Both methods dont read data from inputstream socket?
I very appreciate any help/advice from experienced developers.
Best regards

Hi,
Yes. The readLine() method hangs! After the test, the execuation of the program is stopped at the line of readLine() method; it does not pass it?
There is no problem with writing to Server socket. After the test, the program pass through flush() method. Here is the code for writing to sever socket within ChatClient (client side socket) class:
private BufferedReader input = null;
private PrintWriter           output = null;
public ChatClient(String serverName, int serverPort)
{ System.out.println("Establishing connection. Please wait ...");
try
{ socket = new Socket(serverName, serverPort);
System.out.println("Connected: " + socket);
start();
catch(UnknownHostException uhe)
{ System.out.println("Host unknown: " + uhe.getMessage()); }
catch(IOException ioe)
{ System.out.println("Unexpected exception: " + ioe.getMessage()); }
public void start() throws IOException
{ input   = new BufferedReader (new
                         InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("Client User input stream was created,");
output = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
System.out.println("Client Socket output stream was established, and");
if (thread == null)
{ client = new ChatClientThread(this, socket);
thread = new Thread(this);
thread.start();
public void run()
     while (thread != null) {
     String fromUser;
          try{
               while((fromUser = input.readLine())!= null)
               System.out.println("Client wasreading a data from User, and");
output.println(fromUser);
     output.flush();
     System.out.println("Client has written a data to Server");
catch(IOException ioe)
{ System.out.println("Sending to server error: " + ioe.getMessage());
stop();
etc.
Here is a piece of codes for reading data from the Client Socket in the ChatServer Class (Server Side socket):
public void run()
{ System.out.println("Server Thread " + clientPort + " running.");
while (true)
{ try
{ //server.handle(clientPort, input.readLine());
System.out.println("Server is reading data from Client, wait...");
String fromUser = input.readLine();
//while((fromUser = input.readLine()) != null)
     System.out.println("Server received a message on " + clientPort + ".");
catch(IOException ioe)
{ System.out.println(clientPort + " ERROR reading: " + ioe.getMessage());
server.remove(clientPort);
stop();
etc. Please advice why the readLine() method hangs; does not read data from the input stream received from the CLIENT?

DVDRAM will not read data disks

I have a A215-S4697 with a HL-DT-ST GSA T20n DVDRAM. The drive will read CD and DVD audio and video disks. It will not read data disks. The driver says it is a CD-ROM. Is there a better driver I need? Has anyone had the same problem and found a solution?
Thanks

Is the file open in Excel, or is it open because your VI is writing data to it somewhere in your code?
If the latter case is true, you can use a semaphore to ensure that a read and write operation are not trying to occur simultaneously.
The file is open in Excel.

Livecycle 8.0 data view does not identify data source as table

Livecycle 8 documentation states:
To create a table from a data source
Some data from a data source could be shown in a table. When you connect to a data source, the Data View palette identifies any items that could be tables. LiveCycle Designer also shows which items will become rows in the table if it finds a repeating data group.
however, I have successfully created connections for MS Access tables, SQL server tables and XML files, but none of them were identified as capable of being shown in a table. I have not been able to successfully create or populate a table from a data source. What am I missing?

Yes, i'm in a important projekt at the moment.
Its also intresting that in an other apex installation (same version) on an other server (same OS) - i'm working a bit longer with - the data load works...
So i dont know any reason for the problem.

Best way to read data sources in parallel

Hi,
I'm looking for conceptual help as I start a project. I am trying to figure out the best way to get data from several sources at different timings and deliver them to a main vi.
I have 4 systems, which each work well on their own (OK, one doesn't work yet, but let's assume that can be fixed
One system reads from 2 pH meters on serial ports. The meters are slow to respond, so it takes about 2 minutes to read 4 channels of data. I save these data to a file every 10 minutes
One system reads from a CO2 meter on the USB port. It reads the data every second, and does some averaging. Every 2-10 minutes, it saves the average to a file and then sends a command to the parallel port to switch the input to the meter.
The third system reads from 6 valves, each on a serial port. These also take time, probably several minutes to poll all 6. These data will also be saved to a file.
The 4th system reads a bank of temperature probes on the USB port. These get polled every few seconds and saved to a file every few minutes.
Now that these individual routines are working, I am trying to create a front end that will display all the data in one place and allow me to set all the parameters from a single place. I would also like the possibility of using the data from one source at another place (for instance, having the output of the temperature probes sent to the pH meters to adjust their calibration). At this point, I get confused as to the best way to proceed.
It seems like if I just want to read the data from each source, I could simply put all 4 routines together in a single vi (oh, what a mess that would be to read). Maybe I should start this way?
However, if I want to have any communication between the different data sources, it seems like I will either need to use queues or VI server. I sort of envision a vi that lets me configure the various ports and the file operations and then can turn on monitoring of any or all of the various inputs. Each of them will do their thing at their own time and the main routine will simply display whatever data they deliver whenever they have new data. Fortunately, nothing is particularly time-critical, nor does it need to run fast.
My questions: Am I correct in how I'm thinking about getting this to work? Is there a clear choice between queues or vi server? I've looked at several examples of each, but without having done something like this before, it is hard for me to tell which is better.
Thanks for any suggestions.
mike

Hi Mike,
I think that you are on the right track with your thinking process. You might be able to implement this using queues. I'm not exactly sure how you would do it with VI server since it is just a set of functions that allows you to dynamically control front panel objects, VIs, and the LabVIEW environment. However, there are some great resources available with using queues for this type of application. I'm including the link to another discussion forum that had a very similar question to yours. There is a good example of using queues within this forum post. Also, there is a great example in NI Developer Zone about using queues and some other good ones in the NI Example Finder (just search 'queues' and you should get a few results). I hope this helps!

MultiProvider not reading data

Hi all,
I am using a Multiprovider to integrate the data from a DSO and an InfoCube. But is not not reading the data from the DSO.
Here is the Structure:
Infocube : SALESCUBE
Dimensions:
Transaction:
TRNSCN_ID: Transaction id
Customer:
CUST_ID: Customer ID
And I have 3 keyfigures called PRC_MAT, SAL_QUANT, REV
DSO: SAL_LOC
Key field: TRNSCN_ID
Data field: SALES_REG
Now In my multiprovider, in assignment of TRNSCN_ID I have slected both the infocube and the DSO. Yet when I read the data it shows data only from the infocube.
The columns under 'SALES_REG' are blank (When i do "Display Data" for the multiprovider in SAP BI GUI ) and BExAnalyzer shows 'Not Assigned''
I checked the data in both the DSO and the Infocube and the data under TRNSCN_ID is consistent in both and I have loaded it from the same source.
I did some some investigation and II think the issue is in the sql query genereted by the multiprovider:
select
[S1].[/BIC/CUST_ID]
AS [K____16106]
[S2].[/BIC/TRNSCN_ID]
AS [K____16123]
, [F].[/BIC/PRC_MAT]   AS [K____16107]
, [F].[/BIC/REV]   AS [K____16108]

) ) AND ( (
[DP].[SID_0RECORDTP]
= 0
) ) AND ( (
[DP].[SID_0REQUID]
<= 2000000250
The DSO is not mentioned anywhere in the query.
Here are 2 unresolved threads with the same issue created by others:
Multiprovider Problem
Re: Multiprovider Issue
Please help out if you have any idea.
Thanks,
Nikhil

Hi Vikram,
Thanks. This has partly solved the problem. It sows data from both the infocube and DSO but it comes in 2 rows, not 1.
To do this, I created this new structure:
Infocube: IC_REV
Dimensions: TRNSCN_ID
Keyfigures: PRC_MAT, REV, SAL_QUANT
DSO: LOC_SALE
Key Field: TRNSCN_ID
Data Field: TRNS_DATE (Keyfigure), SALE_OFFC, SALES_REG
I have included all these InfoObjects in the multiprovider.
On running the query, it displays the data from the infocube and the dso in different rows.
For example, I have a TRNSCN_ID value "SALE01".
in the result, It shows 2 rows for "SALE01", one from the infocube and one from the DSO.
The data for TRNSCN_ID in the infocube and dso is consistent as I have run their DTPs from the same parent DSO (which has all the data) as the source of data for both the Infocube and the DS.
Here is the SQL if needed:
select
[S1].[/BIC/TRNSCN_ID]
AS [K____16123]
, [F].[/BIC/PRC_MAT]   AS [K____16107]

Can not read data from URL!

Hello,
I want to read data from URL (http://84.100.130.82:8000/;stream.nsv). But can not do it. Because when try to call function openDataInputStream() shows this error: java.io.IOException: response does not start with HTTP it starts with: ICY. How I can fix this bug?
HttpConnection c = null;
InputStream is = null;
OutputStream os = null;
StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer();
String response,

c = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(“http://84.100.130.82:8000/;stream.nsv”);
os = c.openOutputStream();
os.flush();
is = c.openDataInputStream(); // ERROR CODE HERE
int ch;
// receive output
while ((ch = is.read()) != -1)
b.append((char) ch);
response = b.toString();Regards, Ramunas

Hi, I�m trying to do the same as above, get MP3 from a Shoutcast server.
I got the same fault ("response does not start with HTTP it starts with: ICY") when I tried to open an HttpConnection as bellow:
============================================
HttpConnection conn = (HttpConnection) Connector.open("http://64.236.34.196/stream/1074");
Then I tried to open a socket connection as bellow:

SocketConnection conn = (SocketConnection) Connector.open("socket://64.236.34.196:80");
String get = "GET /stream/1074 HTTP/1.1";
DataOutputStream os = conn.openDataOutputStream();
os.writeUTF(get);
InputStream is = conn.openInputStream();
But then I got the following error:
=========================

Could someone help me to find out what is going on?
Thanks a lot!

Can not retrieve data source status

I have 3 DPS (6.3) running fine with 3 (6.2) DS downstream, running fine as well, on RHAS 4 U4 .
I don't understand why the DPS console always report it can not retrieve the data sources status. I checked the DS access logs, and I see each DPS
default monitoring request (on the "" DN) every 30 seconds, which returns one entry, and no obvious error in any DPS or DS error log .
Any idea ?

Hi,
it looks like a a known problem to me that may appear in the following situation:
In somes cases, the proxy and the DSCC (console) uses different hostnames: For instance, the proxy may be registered to the admin framework as myhost.sun.com and the proxy itself may use only myhost. Operation status is exposed by the proxy as an LDAP entry with dn cn=myhost,.....,cn=monitor. When there is a naming mismatch, the console search for cn=myhost.sun.com,...., cn=monitor and can't find the entry, so the status is unknown.
Don't know if you are in this situation but it might worth checking this.
Hope this helps

Problem: 'Could not read from source' when exporting project.

Hi everybody
I am using Adobe Premiere CS4 on my MacBook Pro 15'' (i5 processor, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB Harddisc, 256 MB video memory (high-clockspeed))
Everything works well except of one big thing, every time when i try to export my finished project the Media Encoder tells me always the same thing directly after pushing the start button. 'Could not read from the sorce. Please check if it has been removed or deleted'.
I tried removing any offending plugins, i fixed the disk permissions.. But it all doesnt matter anything.
No matter what i try to export, no matter in what file format. It just doesnt work. I even tried exporting a project which only contains a video file of 5 seconds without anything more but it just doesnt work. Its impossible that i have touched or modified or replaced any source files...
Some help would be very very appreciated!!
Martijn

Welcome to the forum.
Perhaps this Adobe KB Article will be able to help you.
Good luck,

Premiere Pro CS4 Export fails with Media Encoder CS4 "Encoding Failed"," Could Not Read From Source.

There has never been a history of Adobe CS3 installation on the brand new MAC Pro I am using prior to installing Master Collection CS4, despite other posts claiming that chief cause of this issue is a previous CS3, Beta or trial installations of previous versions. I simply had a straightforward installation of CS4 and have had trouble since day 1.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Master CS4 three times, two times with the action script cleaner for CS4. I tried changing Adobe Cache folder locations to alternative drives. I ran shift start many times to correct any inconsistencies and corrected for permissions using disk utilities repeatedly. All updates have been installed and I am still getting the same error when exporting my timeline to Media Encoder CS4, be it a large High Definition project or a small one consisting of few stills.
No matter what presets I chose, the job appears as one of the items in the render qeuee of Media Encoder CS4 and sits there with the status WAITING until i hit Start Queue. When I do, it still says WAITING under Status and at the bottom corner of the window it reads : Loading "project name.prproj" and after an average of about 6 minutes, a yellow caution sign appears. No render whatsoever takes place. When I click on the yellow caution sign, it reads a log of all errors in connection with each job, including the ones that have gone before it. Here is one:

Please any gurus out there know how to troubleshoot this damn thing on Mac, I really appreciate it. I have not yet encountered any posts of Mac owners with no previous CS3 installation having this issue. I am in the middle of 3 projects with tight deadlines and need your urgent help. THANK YOU!

Hello There,
I resolved the issue through a simple process of elimination. So simple in fact I wonder how I missed it. Since there has been no history of prior CS3 installation on this machine and every conceivable trick was applied to resolve the problem (refer to my original post earlier in the thread) ending in frustration, the problem had to reside in a factor or series of factors that were only present in this machine. Of the two remaining causes different in compare to other machines, I had to look into the possibility of any hardware and/or software conflicts. After all, this very same installation works perfectly fine on my colleague's Apple Macbook Pro and several Windows machines.
It turns out that I had installed Pro Tools on this machine that comes with all kinds of optional plug-ins in the so called ignition pack. One of these optional plug-ins is called IZOTOPE (three varieties include Spectron, Trash and another one that escapes my mind). They were all lite version licenses that would automatically pop up on their own when you would start a program where they had been residing. One such program where an association existed was indeed the Premiere. An annoying dialogue box directing you to buy the full version when you would start the premiere would refuse to go away. Sometimes it would even start on its own culminating in a a permanent dialogue box.
The cause of the problem was right before my eyes and I had overlooked it. Once uninstalled using IZOTOPE clean uninstaller on step 4, the problem was resolved. Projects are now loading very fast into the AME and encoding begins in earnest. I have never had any issues ever since.
Long story short, if you have any plug-ins specially the ones that are loading upon the start of any program or the ones that reside inside the premiere or the ones that start on their own independently, they could be one of the highly probable causes of this error. I have seen other similar posts complaining of plug in folders inside premiere that needed to be moved to resolve the issue for instance the ones that needed to be moved to AE folders. If you are a plug-in admirer, I would suggest to look into them seriously.
On the side note, many combination and causes may lead to the same error. I am not claiming that this is the solution for everyone.
It must also be noted that I applied the trick of creating a shortcut of Premiere (and naming it exactly as such) and dropped it into the Adobe Dynamic LInk folder (even though this was suggested for windows)and have changed the adobe Cache locations to an alternative folder on a separate drive. I haven't been able to establish conclusively if the latter steps are also essential in fixing the error on MAC but I can confirm that since the latter steps were taken before the uninstalling of Izotope plug-ins and i still had issues, probably uninstalling those plug ins or finding a way to move them to a place where they don't interfere (if you absolutely need to keep them) is the one essential step that solved the problem.
Hope this helps.
