More funny ToC behavior

Even though I'm Dutch and live in Holland, I normally use English for the sytem-language. Now I found that when you create a new iBook, in the ToC you'll find Chapter 1, Chapter 2 etc. There seems to be no way to change that. But when I set my system-language to Dutch and create a new iBook, I get the Dutch words for Chapter (Hoofdstuk) and Section (Sectie). However, an iBook started while the system-language was English retains the English ToC.
That means that if I create a book in English first and than decide to make a Dutch (or French or whatever) translation I will need to do the book from scratch just to get the ToC in the desired language...
Am I missing something or is this another entry for the to-do-list @ Apple?

More psychotic WLST behavior

So we're porting deployment scripts from standalone to clustered implementations of OSB 11.1.1.6 on WLS 10.3.6.
When trying to set attributes on a Uniform Distributed Topic, WLST is being completely retarded and refuses to navigate to the mbean for the object, although it's easily navigable from the wlst.sh shell.
Furthermore, the code that's performing this step is a copy of the code that does the same function for a long list of distributed queues without complaining.
So anyway, I've got a lookup function that checks for the existence of the topic:
cd('/JMSSystemResources/blahSystemModule/JMSResource/blahSystemModule')
cmo.lookupUniformDistributedTopic('TopicName') <== returns true, so we proceed
cd('/JMSSystemResources/blahSystemModule/JMSResource/blahSystemModule/UniformDistributedTopics/TopicName')
This throws the familiar:
File "<iostream>", line 182, in cd
File "<iostream>", line 1847, in raiseWLSTException
WLSTException: Error cding to the MBean
All pretty routine, but why can I navigate to it in WLST?:
wls:/blah_domain/serverConfig> cd('/JMSSystemResources/blahSystemModule/JMSResource/blahSystemModule/UniformDistributedTopics/TopicName')
wls:/blah_domain/serverConfig/JMSSystemResources/blahSystemModule/JMSResource/blahSystemModule/UniformDistributedTopics/TopicName>
A more relevant question than "Why is WLST so freakin' retarded?" might be, "How do I get the runtime to give me more detailed debug info?"
Cheers!

Naturally, I'm the impaired one. Kindly ignore.

More on State behaviors

With the following code I overwrite the click behavior and
pass control to a child container, at least in theory. Problem is,
it does not work:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" width="100%" height="100%"
backgroundColor="#FFFFFF">
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="open1">
<mx:SetProperty target="{cat1}" name="width"
value="390"/>
<mx:SetProperty target="{cat1}" name="height"
value="390"/>
<mx:SetStyle target="{cat1}" name="left" value="0"/>
<mx:SetStyle target="{cat1}" name="top" value="0"/>
<mx:SetEventHandler target="{cat1}" name="click"/>
<mx:SetProperty target="{cat1}" name="useHandCursor"
value="false"/>
<mx:SetProperty target="{cat1}" name="mouseEnabled"

<mx:SetProperty target="{cat1}" name="buttonMode"
value="false"/>
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{cat1}" position="lastChild">
<mx:Canvas x="95" y="100" width="200" height="200"
click="{currentState='';}" backgroundColor="#ffffff"
buttonMode="true" mouseEnabled="true" useHandCursor="true">
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
<mx:Canvas id="mystage" width="390" height="390"
horizontalCenter="0" resizeEffect="Resize">
<mx:Canvas id="cat1" left="60" top="60" width="150"
height="150" backgroundColor="#999999"
click="{currentState='open1';}" useHandCursor="true"
buttonMode="true" mouseEnabled="true" mouseChildren="true"/>
</mx:Canvas >
</mx:Application>

You don't need to override click behavior in this case.
The problem is, you are adding the child container to the
main container and both define click event. By default, event
propagates so when you click the child container, click event of
parent container also fires and it reverts back the currentState.
To fix this, you need to tell the child container to not
propagate the event by setting event.stopPropagation() to false. So
your code would look like:
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{cat1}" position="lastChild">
<mx:Canvas x="95" y="100" width="200" height="200"
click="currentState='';event.stopPropagation()"
backgroundColor="#ffffff" buttonMode="true" mouseEnabled="true"
useHandCursor="true">
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:AddChild>
BTW, you don't have to define event handlers in curly braces.

Funny mail behavior and an unidentifiable icon

I received an eMail that I cannot open nor can I delete it. Trying to open the message or quit mail causes Mail to forever show the pizza of death. Next to the Inbox folder an icon appears. It is a light blue circle with a dark blue wedge (image a white pie chart with a dark blue wedge positioned 12 to 12:30).
I have deleted it several times (from the server, inbox, account, trash, even in the mail folder on my hard disk). When I try to quit mail, it goes into a infinite loop, and I have to "force quit", which means the mail message is still there when I restart mail.
Nothing else on my computer seems to have been affected.
Any suggestions ? If so, thanks in advance,.

Glad it helped and thanks for the points.
Sometimes things just happen! Make sure you have tried and tested up-to-date backup should things take a turn for the worse. Fingers crossed it was just a hiccup.
If the old Mail icon is still in the Dock you may want to delete that by dragging it away from the Dock until it turns into a cloud, and release. You can re-add its icon when Mail is launched by clicking and holding on its icon in the Dock and selecting 'Keep in Dock'.

Multiscreen HTML 5 output in Chrome – when scrolling down very long topics in the content pane the navigation area 'moves up' , i.e cant see search field or TOC.

Hi,
Multiscreen HTML 5 output in Chrome – when scrolling down very long topics in the content pane the navigation area 'moves up' , i.e cant see search field or TOC.
thanks
Anat

This is by design. If you want to change this, the content section must have a set height and scroll. Which layout are you using? -- Check out the Responsive layouts and the Social layout. I believe those have the more traditional TOC placement.
Kind regards,

Thought this was pretty funny

My son is only 19 Months and he already loves computers. Every time I need to go into my office to do some work he stands by the baby gate smiling waiting for me to sit him on my lap while I work. On top of that he loves Apple Computers (great boy) so the other day I went to Best Buy to get some DVD's and when he saw the Apple computers he got so excited he was giggling and jumping up and down. I took these pictures real quick with my phone (sorry for the quality) and thought it would be funny to show them in response to the little kids Windows uses on their commercials. It was even more funny when the Best Buy workers would walk by and had to do a double take when they realized this little kid knew how to use the keyboard and mouse (not to really find anything but he knows what they are used for). Anyways just for some laughs, sorry for the story.

Priceless!

DAY() Returns Wrong Day!

Have a column (H) set to date format. I enter many (many, many) dates into the cells of this column in this format: 1/5/8 which is wrong, should have been, 1/5/08. If you just do "8" instead of "08" you'll get a year of "0008". In an attempt to fix this I start by adding a formula to cell J2 to give me a cell with the date of H2 but with the year set to 2008, like this:
J2=DATE("2008",MONTH(H2),DAY(H2))
Where H2 contained "Jan 8, 0008".
The result was "Jan 6, 2008"!
More...
9/1/8 becomes Aug 30, 2008
9/2/8 becomes Aug 31, 2008
9/3/8 becomes Sep 1, 2008
Off by 2 days in all cases.
I think it starts getting off when the date is somewhere around Oct 14,1582. Dates after this seem to have no error but dates before this do, sometimes. For example, in cell B4 I see the error at the Oct 14-15,1592 dates but in other cells I do not. Talk about weird. Extra weirdness: entering "10/10/1582" into some cells and it'll set that cell to Oct 20,1582 once you hit enter. (If you're a historian you probably wouldn't want Numbers to record anything about Columbus.)
Would someone see if they can duplicate this?
Enter this formula in the C column (start at C2) and fill down for several rows:
=DATE("2008",MONTH(B2),DAY(B2))
Then enter your test dates into cells in the B column. See what you get.

The problem is not with year 1582.
Under 10.6.1, its with dates before 1/1/1583
Enter such a date in cell B2
In cell C2 enter =month(B) you will get the wrong 12
In cell D2 enter the formula =day(B) you will get the wrong 30.
In fact its perfectly normal.
The used calendar is the Gregorian one which started at the end of 1582.

After Effects CS4 & Wacom Showstopper bug.

Hi! For more than one year I've being feeling that my machine was the slowest machine on Earth, so I spent a good deal of money on a new HP Z800 with a Quadro FX 5800 and 24GB of RAM with windows 7 64 and a set of SSD raid that gives me over 700MB per second, after install After Effects CS4 and try it, was awesome, such a good response and super fast, but.... after finish installing all the rest, AE was slow like on my previous 4 years old machine..... so something was wrong. To make the story short, was the Wacom driver, if I turn it off, all goes back to normal, turn it on and all goes slow, so far I was able to reproduce it on 7 machines, Win XP, Win XP 64, Vista 64, and Win 7 64, the all show the same problem, and all the machines are different. And the problem can be reproduced very easily. I've made a video showing how to reproduce it. This problem render the Wacom with AE as a non viable option for anyone. I've noticed this since about 12 months ago, but never thought is was a hardware / driver problem. Just thought AE was excruciatingly slow.
Here is the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KwzASwrnC0
Hope Adobe and Wacon recognize this problem and fix it as fast as possible,

Hello,
I'm using the trial of CS6 Production Premium, and After Effects CS6 has a terrible problem with the Wacom. After a video preview with audio or even just an audio preview, the Wacom will become very slow, almost like the computer is under insane processor load, but my CPU monitors don't seem to be doing much. I have a 24-core Dual-Xeon PC with 48GB memory and I am trying to make use of the multi-processor capability (it would be criminal if I couldn't use it).
The Wacom becomes slow with AFX and occasionally unresponsive. It makes it impossbile to work with AFX. I refuse to use a mouse, so that's out of the question. Also, this software should work with a Wacom like everything else does. I don't have this issue in any other program.
I've set AFX to use either 20 or 16 processors with .75GB memory per core. Seems this should work ok but the Wacom is being pummeled into submission, and that's a really bad problem if I can't even move my cursor. Makes me want to close down AFX ASAP, so I hope to find a fix.
I am using the latest Wacom driver and the trial for this software is only days old, so this problems should have been fixed by now according to this thread. I'm not too motivated to spend $1800 for this suite if I can't even use AFX with a Wacom, which is the main reason I'm after the Production Suite.
If I can't get this working I will probably just buy Vegas, even though Vegas is a big old crash monkey. No Wacom problems at all though.
Any ideas?
Also, anyone notice funny cursor behavior when typing in this forum? It seems to jump around on its own and this doesn't happen to me anywhere else. Could be a residual effect of the Wacom weirdness. This fields don't seem to like 'Shift+Enter' either.
Thanks,
Dan

Problem with not executed include

Hi all,
I've a problem with my include in production system. Whole story looks like this. We have product from 3rd company so this is not z-namespace. There are some places in which we can add our own code - function module with not existing z-include. This FM is called with CALL FUNCTION statement, not CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION, so there are no CMOD entries to modify. I've created this include and implemented my functionality. Unfortunatelly my code in production is sometimes executed and sometimes not. What I've observed is that when include is not executed debugger steps over it (it goes in to FM but ignores include) and what is more funny I'm not able to set breakpoint in this include (I'm getting a message that ithis is not possible). 2 Minutes later everything works (I can set break point and include is executed) although I didn't do anything (no activation). I've transported once more all transports from development to production without any change. I didn't observe this behavior in development or test systems, but to be honest I didn't do so many tests to be sure that problem is only in production.
I suspect that there is something wrong with 3rd party product, but I'm not 100% sure. Did anyone has this kind of problem?
Best Regards
Marcin Cholewczuk

hi,
I've transported once more all transports from development to production without any change.
you could not activate debugger because . during transporting object from dev to prd all the object where not transported correctly . and some times the include which gets created has there namespace registered in repository objects , so when you re transported that request it corrected those entries .

Deepak.

Editing very large MP3 Files

Hello,
Sorry for my bad English! I am French!
I recently bought a Sony digital recorder (ICD-PX312) that records MP3 files.
I recorded my noisy neighbour, in continuous mode for three days. (I was not at home)
PX312 recorder has produced several files which maximum size is 511,845 kB corresponding to a lenght of 24H 15min.
Every file, checked with Mediainfo, have the same properties. (48kbps 44.1KHz)
I can read them with VLC media player without any problem, but I need to edit these files to keep only the interesting parts.
If I open (drag and drop or open file) these files with Audition 1.0 (I came from Cool-Edit), I found a very strange behavior.
The 24H 15min files are opened with a lenght of 1H and a half or so!.
I gave a try opening with Audition 3.0 and the result is strange too, and more "funny":
The lenght of one 24H15min file is 1H and a half
The lenght of another 24H 15min file is 21H or so.
In the Audition TMP directory, Audition has created several 4 GB temporay files that correspond to the limit of the WAV files.
I made a test with a 128kpbs, 44.1khz. This 511,845 kB file is 9H 5min long
Audition read it as 4H40min
The TMP file is 2,897,600 kB, far below the 4 GB limit
It seems Audition 1 and 3 (I read CS5 has the same problem too) does not share the WAV conversion very well.
Is it due to Audition itself or to the Fraunhofer MP3 codec?
Is there any workaround from Adobe?
As I am an AVS4YOU client, I tried AVS Audio Editor. It opens every file with the good lenght but does not have the needed editing functions. That demonstrates that it is possible to share very large files.
Many thanks in advance for any help or idea, because Audition is the editor I need!
Best Regards

t's not their 'bug' at all. MP3 files work fine, and Adobe didn't invent the wav file format, Microsoft did. It's caused by the 32-bit unsigned integer to record the file size headerincorporated into wav files, which limits their size to one that can be described within that limit - 4Gb.
May be I was not clear enough in my explanation
I Agree partly with you.
I Agree with you when you wrote that the 4 GB limit is inherant to the Microsoft WAV format.
When reading 24H MP3 Files, Audition 3.0 creates, in TMP folder, two chunk of 4 GB and another smaller chunk, to try to overcome the limit. This cutting process is exactly what I am expecting from such a software.
The problem - and the bug - is that the duration that is "extracted" in audition is smaller than that of the original MP3 (e.g. 21H 30min instead of 24H 15min). Some part of the original MP3 files has been skipped in the cuttng/conversion process.
I dont think Microsoft is involved in this "cutting" process that belongs to Adobe an/or Fraunhofer. This is why I am surprised

Very odd HDD issues on X38 Plat.

Hey Guys, I just upgraded to an X38 Platinum, specs:
XP Prof. 32bit
X38 Platinum, BIOS 1.1
Q6600 Core2 Quad, 2.4ghz stock : CoolIT Eliminator
Aenon DDR3 2GB
VisionTek 3870
X-Fi XtremeMusic
PC Power & Cooling 750 Silencer Quad (Single rail 12v design)
WD 74GB Raptor
WD 500GB Caviar
So, here's a basic summary of what happens. I put all of my old stuff on the 500gb drive and reformatted the raptor so that I could hold on to my music etc. Now when I try to move things back, I can't. It copies fine, but cut/pasting gets no response from the operating system. An icon might show up in the destination folder, but it is a corrupted file and can't be accessed.
I can access each drive, and write to each drive.
When I turn on the computer, it takes a few trips through the boot cycle before it finally gets into windows. usually at the ATA stage (right after post) it says "No Hard Disk Detected!" and goes back to the logo.
This kind of funny HDD behavior has been happening since I put in the new mobo. When I was reinstalling windows, for example, it hit a few places where it just got stuck and wasn't doing any HDD activity at all during set up, and I had to restart to get it to going.
The Raptor, which has the OS on it, is in the first SATA slot, and the Caviar in the second. There is a CD/DVD drive in the 4th...
I'm truly stumped on this one, I have no idea what it could be! As always, any help is appreciated
Sorry for my ineloquence, I've been awake for far too long the past two days.
Thanks again,
ivy

So far, none! :thumbsup:
Well, the original problem is that I can't cut and paste across drives, only copy then delete... and I still can't do that. It doesn't make any sense!
"So far, none! :thumbsup:"
Nice , well the tips are suppose to help with BSOD(not with other problem.)
"Well, the original problem is that I can't cut and paste across drives, only copy then delete... and I still can't do that. It doesn't make any sense!"
That looks like permission problem.
Have you tried to log-in with administrator account and retest?

Problem while calling an RFC Function Module in Background

Hello,
I have created a RFC function module for reading data from an external DB system. The FM calls an external RFC program (coded in C++ using RFC SDK), which delivers the required data. This external program is maintainged as an TCP RFC Connection in SM59.
Further I have created a report, that calls the RFC function module to get the data from the external RFC programm.
My problem is, when I call the report in foreground, everything works OK, the RFC connection works and data can be read from the external program.
However, when I schedule the report to run in background as a job, the report is stating in the protocoll that there was a problem calling the defined RFC connection (although the connection is working properly at that time).
More funny is, this particular problem with running in background occurs only in the productive system, in test and development system the report works correctly also while running as a job in background.
Can you suggest the solution to this problem? Could it be something with authorisations or server settings?
I will be on holiday for the next 6 weeks, so take your time to answer .
Regards,
Dusan.
Edited by: Julius Bussche on Jan 22, 2009 7:19 PM
Please read the forum rules about u r g e n t ...

This is an external RFC server program, not a remote enabled ABAP RFC function module as the others seem to be assuming, right?
Is it possible that your DEV and QAS systems only have one application server, but the PROD has many and dedicated one(s) for processing low priority background jobs?
It might be that the target server of your TCP connection is not this BTC instance, and your RFC server is returning the data "locally" - so, into nirvana...
Just guessing, but might be worth checking.
Cheers,
Julius

Connection failover and transaction failover

Connection failover and transaction failover
I need to know more about a behavior in a RAC cluster. When a node goes down that is executing one of my transaction through JDBC , does the connection and transaction failover to a new node without me needing to restart tran or reconnect ?
Please provide some insight
Thanks

Transactions are NOT automatically rolled back. The application must do this otherwise the session will get disconnected.
If you code TAF, all sessions will failover to the backup connection. You can specify that select statements are automatically re-executed after the failover. Insert/update/delete transactions must be explicitly rolled back and resubmitted by the application.
IF you are using an ORacle Connection pool, the connection pool will automatically cleanup connections to the failed instance, abort inflight transactions. The application will either retry or it will propagate the error to the end user.
See the whitepaper on the OTN RAC page (otn.oracle.com/rac) Workload Management with Oracle RAC for more information.

Shared Project Workflow Problem: Hitting a Wall with Markers

Hi there,
Apologies in advance for the long note. We're using Adobe CC to edit and finish commercials and are having a significant issue regarding shared project workflow. First, some context:
We often edit projects remotely. When this happens, assistants and other editors who remain in LA will have access to the media on our SAN while the editor and assistant traveling out of town will have their own copy of the media. I know Adobe Anywhere would solve any issue relating to two identical sets of media in use in different cities, but we're a small shop and the hardware and software expense don't make sense for us at this time. Please do not respond to anything mentioned from here on by stating we should just get Adobe Anywhere. Thanks.
What will regularly happen is that the remote editor and assistant will need work done on the project here in LA while they're in session with the clients. Sometimes this work involves marking up clips with comment markers so the editor can more easily locate a specific moment. Here's where the problem arises.
Unlike FCP and Avid, Premiere handles markers within the clip's metadata. So, if I have two separate projects linking to separate but identical instances of media, one of those media instances gets updated with new markers, there is currently no way to get those markers to the other project without also shuttling the new marked-up media. This is not possible when a remote editor needs dailies marked up in a couple hours and is working across the country or abroad.
But let's assume for the sake of argument that it is possible and we apply this workflow. Let's also assume that in the time it takes the local assistant to mark up the clips for the remote editor, the editor has added a couple markers of his own, which is reasonable and happens all the time. Now when the editor links to the newly marked up clips he's received via shipment, he'll wipe out all the markers he's made on his own since giving the order to mark up the footage. That is a significant inconvenience, especially with clients in the room asking stuff like "can we look at the take where the guy says 'good' instead of 'great'?"
So what happens if we just have repeating sets of media, so that every time the clips markers get updated, the editor actually imports those clips, even though the picture and audio data in those clips is completely redundant to what's already in the project. The issues with this are, as I can see it, 1) increasing the amount complexity within the project so that you'd have to scan many bins of dailies to look for a single marker, 2) increasing by orders of magnitude the amount of storage space needed, 3) even if problems 1 and 2 are handled, if you have to go to finish with multiple versions of a cut, and those versions reference separate instances of the same clip from different bins, Premiere's dupe frame detection will not work and you'll need to spend a lot of extra time locating duplicate clips manually before sending your EDL or XML off to final color grading.
At this point, I think it's necessary to interject something: we're talking about markers here. Why is this such a problem? FCP and Avid have no such issues simply by making markers - even clip markers - part of the project metadata. From what I understand, Adobe has chosen to do things differently because of dynamic link, so that After Effects and Prelude, for example, could add markers to a clip and those markers would ripple across all instances of that clip in the different applications. It's a great feature which we take advantage of here from time to time.
So what's the solution?
My workaround in CS6, which does not solve the issue of needing to merge clip markers so that an editor's markers and an assistant's markers can be applied to a single piece of media, was to turn off "write XMP ID to Files on Import." This would generate an XMP sidecar file which could be easily passed along with a project file to the remote editor, who could then overwrite his local XMP sidecars with the new ones containing the new marker info.
However, in Premiere CC that is no longer possible. It appears that if Premiere CC can access the XMP ID on a file, it will not generate a sidecar regardless of what you have set in your media preferences. We use ProRes Proxy as our dailies format (again, please no comments on this, it is not up for debate at this time) and Premiere can get to the XMP ID within the files and will not, no matter what it seems, generate an XMP sidecar.
We could change the company workflow to use DNxHD 36 instead of ProRes Proxy, which would give us XMP sidecars, but that would not solve the issue of needing to merge marker lists between projects non-destructively.
The best solution I can think of would be to have a script or some kind or built-in feature which would allow for the batch export, import and merging of marker lists. This way Adobe could keep its current clip-metadata-based marker workflow while giving professional users needing more flexible marker behavior the ability to have assistants non-destructively modify clip markers without necessitating the creation of extra media or project complexity.
I would really love some input on this and ideas from the pro community out there who has experience with shared project workflows - especially projects being shared remotely. There's not a lot of info out there about this and it would be great to hear what others are doing.
Thanks a million for sticking with this, if you've made it this far.

Thanks Jim,
I understand that Adobe Anywhere solves this, but there should be this fairly basic functionality (which exists in Avid and FCP) in a non-enterprise edition of the software. I have submitted a couple different feature requests about this, going back to CS5, so hopefully enough people make similar requests for a fix to be implemented. Adobe Anywhere is really not a solution for our small shop as currently configured/priced, especially when we can have editors working remotely with very affordable USB 3 drives. The only hangup is the markers, which just isn't worth a 5 figure fix. As such it's hard to consider the problem solved for either us or any small shop or post crew.
Best,
Jon
