Need help resolving issues with reader X

whenever adobe tried to update reader it alwaus fails and says I ahve to be in administrator mode, I read on the net that id you right click on a .pdf and go to the advanced tab you can select run as administrator. I did that hoping that would allow the updates to install and not fail but all it did is whenever I open any pdf file now I get the UAC popup and have to say yes to open it.
Is there anyway to undo what I did to reader buy clicking run as administrator?
I do not want to get the UAC everytime I open a pdf file.  I also DON'T want to turn off the UAC completely as a work around.
Thanks

  • I need help resolving issues with inbound mail on 10.8.5 server.

    Let's start from the beginning.
    I had a Mac Mini server running OS X 10.7 since 2011. I have a static IP and domain registered. I used it for mail, calendar, and web service.  It was working beautifully until a week ago.  Suddenly it stopped processing mail for me from google and apple managed domains.  There may be other domains, I do not know.
    I checked my external firewall and the correct ports are being forwarded (25, 587, 993).  Connected to a remote network, I can verify that nmap shows the ports as open.  I can telnet into the server on port 25 and send mail.  I checked with the ISP and they are not blocking/filtering those ports and the DNS they are hosting for me appears to be correct (unchanged from when it was working).  I've looked in the logs, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for, really.  I upgraded to 10.8.5 and server 2.2.2 last night in an attempt to rectify the situation but I'm still unable to receive mail from my other accounts (iCloud and gmail).
    I've been trying to troubleshoot this issue for a while now and I'm all out of ideas.  If anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Trevor

    Hi,
    I can send/receive mail locally.  I send mail to [email protected] from [email protected] and [email protected].  This works while on my LAN and connected to my work via VPN.
    I'm not listed on any blacklist, either by domain or IP using that tool.  The MX lookup tool at that site lists everything as OK, the MX record appears to be correct.  The SMTP test at that site shows a "failed to connect" error.  The exact error is:
    Connection attempt #1 - Unable to connect after 15 seconds. [15.04 sec]
    I'm not sure what I'm looking for in my log files.  I do not see any inbound connection attempts from google or apple domains when I try to send from my other e-mail accounts.
    when I run the dig command, I get the following output:

    That does show an A record for the mail.bakernet.ca hostname.  Looks like my ISP is to blame?

  • Need help troubleshooting issues with Adobe Reader X

    Hello,
    Recently our company upgraded multilpe computers to Reader X.  Initially we installed version 10.1.0.  Ever since our users on X have been experiencing problems.  We are seeing three different issues.
    1) A user will fill out the PDF and click print.  At that point a popup appears with the message "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."  The user has the choice to click on Debug or Close.  Clicking Debug doesn't appear to do anything.
    2) Clicking on a PDF in internet explorer will launch Adobe Reader and a progress bar shows on the screen indicating that the PDF is loading.  The progress bar goes away and the user is left looking at a grey screen.
    3)  When attempting to open a PDF the user recieves this message "The instruction at "0x00720065" referenced memory at "0x00720065" . The memory could not be "written."
    In every situation the only way to get past the problems is a restart of the PC.
    As an attempt to resolve the issue we tried upgrading several users to Reader version 10.1.3.  This was done by completely uninstalling version 10.1.0 and then installing 10.1.3.  This did not have any effect on the problems.
    Can anyone here offer and suggestions?
    Thank you

    Hello,
    1. The OS on which you are seeing these issues.
    Windows XP SP3
    2. The method of deployment of the 10.1.3 update. Was it done via SMS/GPO/SCUP?
    Originally 10.1.0 was installed remotely using a program PSEXEC.  Once the errors began occurring 10.1.0 was uninstalled manually and 10.1.3 was installed using a copy from your ftp site.
    3. Can you try and update any one of your systems to the latest version of Reader i.e. Reader 10.1.4 and see if it solves the problem.
    We have upgraded one machine to 10.1.4 using the Check for Updates function within Reader 10.1.3 and are looking for any ongoing issues.
    4. Which browser are you using to render the PDFs. Is the issue seen with internal links alone or with all links. Can you try and see if the following opens on one of the faulty machine: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_Re leaseNote_10.1.3.pdf<http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.3.pdf>
    We are using IE 8.  The issues are seen with both internal and external links as well as stand alone PDFs.  No one could open the link you sent but we could open: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/kb/en/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_Releas eNote_10.1.3.pdf on a faulty machine.
    5. If suggestion# 3 doesn't work, can you also try and uninstall the installation on any one of the machines manually (i.e. via Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features depending upon your OS) and install a fresh copy of Reader 10.1.3 (from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.3/en_US/AdbeRdr1013 enUS.exe<ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.3/en_US/AdbeRdr1013_en_US.exe>) and see if it solves the problem. If it does, then it may be an issue with the Deployment methodology followed.
    Already tried this.  See answer to suggestion #2

  • I had a Microsoft tech access my computer remotely to resolve issues with my hotmail acct. There were files that needed to be deleted and he also changed some settings.   Later, when I tried to open InDesign I received the following error:  AMT Subsystem

    I had a Microsoft tech access my computer remotely to resolve issues with my hotmail acct. There were files that needed to be deleted and he also changed some settings.
    Later, when I tried to open InDesign I received the following error:
    AMT Subsystem Failure
    The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall or call customer support.
    I rebooted the computer and tried again:
    Licensing for this product has stopped working.
    You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help.
    I can access Acrobat and MS Office programs, it's just the CS3 programs that I can't access. Can I uninstall and then reinstall CS3 without an access (un-lock) code?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

    Is the Wi-Fi button greyed out?  Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    Also, make a backup to iTunes of the device.  Then restore it as a new device.  If you still have wi-fi greyed out, then contact Apple again, and explain that you believe you have a hardware issue.  They may still ask for a $19 deposit, but if it is actually hardware related, then you won't be charged the $19.  Only if it is software related do you get charged that $19.

  • Love the X2 except for 3 main issues which I need help or clarification with

    Hi Everyone, I have pretty much copied and pasted my post from the Motorola forums (with a few minor edits) over here as I do need a little bit of help or insight on my issue.
    I have scoured through the Droid X section trying to find solutions to my problems and I haven't been able to get a solid answer anywhere (here or on other Android/X2 forums).
    I have an X2. I really like this phone. It is solid and has crystal clear sound quality. However, ever since I have had it I have seen intermittent issues pop up and I would like to get some feedback on them or get things put into perspective that it is a known glitch in the interface between the Android OS and the hardware. I bought the phone at Best Buy and every time I bring it in (either back to Best Buy or a Verizon store), as the issue is intermittent, they won't replace the phone. The people at Best Buy have told me to "do a battery pull every morning" which completely offends me as I never had to do anything so drastic with my original Droid until it finally decided to reboot on me every 2 hours (this is when I upgraded to the X2). I had to pick it up from Best Buy as I needed a functional phone immediately and no Verizon store in the area had the X2 in stock.
    The first (and most important issue)... Every once in a while, even though I have full signal, when somebody calls me, my phone will not ring or vibrate. It will ring the full six times on their end but does not show up on my phone as ever receiving or missing the call. After the six rings on their end, it goes to voicemail and after they leave the message, only the voicemail indicator shows up. Over the past month this has happened multiple times (once or twice a week). Those who don't leave messages have had to hunt me down because they thought I had left my phone elsewhere as it never rang or notified me of an incoming call.
    The next two issues are still important to me but they are more of an inconvenience than anything else.
    Sometimes (yes, this is intermittent too but it happens daily), when I wake my phone from sleep, all of the antennas seem to be off and it takes a good second or two to show back up in the status bar (3G, Bluetooth, etc). My question is, have all of the non-CDMA antennas "gone to sleep"? The signal bar for the actual cell service are still there, just not the other services (3G/1X) or wireless settings (Bluetooth/WiFi) for a couple seconds.
    Lastly (and this may be a direct link to the previous question), when I use the "Google Talk" application, the messages I send go through very quickly, but sometimes I do not get replies for a long time after they are sent (30 minutes to and hour later). If I wake the phone, sometimes a previously sent message will come through, and when I check the chat log in Gmail itself, the message was sent from quite a while back (15 minutes to an hour).
    I know I am brand new to your community, and I am sorry to have to burden you all with a post like this as my initial post. However, I have always liked and used Motorola phones with Verizon/GTE (all the way back to the MicroTAC series of the early 90s) without issues or incidents for the most part. As my original Droid was starting to act up I decided to jump on the X2 as it was just released. I understood that it was not going to initially come with Gingerbread and I said I would be patient for the update to come and hopefully it would bring a new level to the phone itself as well as solve some (if not all) of the issues. However, now that it is past my return date, and there is no update as of yet, I do require assistance.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance or insight,
    Tuan

    Thanks for the replies everyone.
    The responses I received over at the Moto forums said the same thing about the battery saver mode. However, I have had the same issue with the radios shutting off during the day while it is in "Nighttime savings mode" so I'm just thinking it's an oddball glitch with the phone's power management settings and clock. I have recently changed the battery mode to "Performance Mode" from Nighttime Savings" as I have the phone plugged into the charger at night anyways. I'm hoping that will take care of both my radio and gtalk issues.
    @Wildman: I have heard the same thing about the GB update from a Verizon rep very recently myself. I am still going to hope for an update sometime in the near future, but I do recall the first update for my Original Droid was months down the line from the release day.
    @Droiddude: Are you just cycling the power? Or are you actually doing physical battery pulls? If cycling the power works for you it would lessen the burden of pulling that Incipio case (Verizon Double Cover) off my phone every time to do battery pulls. It's a great case but wow it's a tight/snug fit.
    @vereyezuhn: I understand that there are possible dead areas in which my main issue may occur. I even have a prepaid phone for the times I am in a Verizon dead zone. However, when my issue occurs, I will be in the same spot for a while. I will receive all my calls, miss one in the manner I have spoken, then receive the following calls normally (SMS/MMS does not seem to be affected either as I seem to receive all of those). This is why I have this specific issue. I have recently cleared the phone's cache partition as well as update the PRL using *228 option 2. We will see over time if this eliminates the issue or at least makes it much more rare.

  • Hi!  Need help!  I downloaded Reader 9.1 and now it won't install  Get error message "Error 1606. Could no access network location %APPDATA%\.  I'm about ready to trash my computer!  Thanks!

    Hi!  Need help desperately!  I downloaded Reader 9.1 and it won't install.  Get the error message "Error 1606.  Could not access network location %APPDATA%\.  Thanks!

    Hello again:
    I don't mean to step on any toes here but it seems that the root of the problem is being ignored. I offered before that the problems you are experiencing are due to inconsistencies in the Windows registry. While I could speculate on the various methods of how this came to be, I don't have that kind of time nor is there a need. More than likely it is some type of malware that has infected the system but that should be explored on more suited forums such as MajorGeeks.com or BleepingComputer.com. The way I see it, you have a few paths you can take, all of which will lead you to the same place: no more error 1606 and a functional Reader:
    Option 1: Run the Windows Live OneCare free safety scanner to resolve any broken registry links it can find.
    Option 2: Manually fix the "broken" registry entries in the Windows registry. While I understand Pat's hesitation to do so, the truth of the matter is it will resolve the immediate issue. Once the APPDATA path is corrected, you should then be able to install Reader.
    Option 3: Restore Windows to a previous date using System Restore located in Help & Support of the Start menu.
    Option 4: [SLEDGE HAMMER] Reinstall Windows over the top of the current installation (NO FORMAT). Use this option only if you have no other recourse. The potential to lose all personal data and settings is high if this option is not performed correctly. If this option is chosen, be certain to use a "setup" profile (username) different than your current username. If you only have a manufacturer's system restore disk rather than a Windows CD/DVD, you may not have the option NOT to format which WILL result in the loss of personal data. This option should only be performed by someone who has previous knowledge of such or is willing to learn even at the expense of data loss/time/effort.
    I HIGHLY recommend that any and all personal data is backed up to an external location such as a USB key, CD/DVD, or external hard drive prior to performing option 2 or 4 above. If you would like any of the options explained in greater detail, feel free to ask and I will oblige.
    Best of success!

  • HELP: SERIOUS ISSUES WITH BILLING

    I have had serious issues with BT since joining their service. Without getting into the issues we had with the BT homehub and other things at the start of the contract with them here is what's been happening. 
    When we joined BT we explained that we wanted a monthly direct debit. Sounds simple enough but apparently not. 
    I have phoned over 6 times in the last year to change this. It has still not happened. Several times we were told that on the system it said monthly for it to be then taken out quarterly. In July while we were away this happened again. Only as we assumed that as they had informed us it would definitely be on monthly direct debit that it was the money for the whole of the quarter was not there. So when they took the money for a quarterly bill again. We were charged. It has set back other bills as the money had been eaten up by charges for this. As you can imagine we were quite annoyed. This was not our fault and we felt that BT were not capable of holding our account details without taking money they we repeatedly requested not to. I admit we should have kept a closer eye on our bills account but you don't think that a company will repeatedly do this to you. 
    After phone calls it emerged that they would not say more than a 'sorry' about this. 
    The saga then continued. I cancelled the quarterly direct debit at the back and have asked BT to send me monthly paper bills. Then last month our phone and internet was cut off. 
    We rang up and suggested that due to the mix up could they add the money we owed to our monthly bills and we'd pay this off on top of the monthly bill. Despite that the reason we owe this at all is not through any fault of our own but through theirs. The money would have been available had they taken it as repeatedly requested.
    We were on the phone for 1hr and 10 mins ( 21st September) to three different people. No, they said  must be paid in 10 day. My partner only managed to get money off this in about an hour - the point being we were happy to pay the whole amount over a year and were not allowed. We asked to speak to a manager after 1hr and 10 and were put back to the start of the queue. 16 minutes later the man we spoke to said a manager named Samantha would call us back. No-one did. 
    On the 22nd of september a rather annoyed me called back and repeatedly requested a manager - sadi would be put though. After 17 minutes the phone went dead. 
    Called later on same thing phone went dead after requesting a manager at 10 minutes.
    Later on called for 28 minutes and told the call centre the issue £20 deducted from amount but said it had to be paid in ten days and a  bill would be sent. Was told that the internet would be reconnected that day. 
    23rd September was hung up on after thre minutes on requesting why the internet had not been connected.
    Phoned later. The man that I spoke to said that no action had been put through to reconnect the internet. He would do it and it would be through by 5pm.
    My partner phoned at 8pm when the internet still had not been reconnected. It was done the next day. 
    Today BT phoned to ask if I had the bill ( Not sent) and tell me that the line will be disconnected by the end of the day. i explained that we were in the middle of complaints procedures with them. She looked on the system and said that there were no notes on the account. I asked for a manager and then asked for this managers superior. She put me through to someone that when questioned was not her superior and half way through my explanation of this....you guessed it..... the line went dead. 
    I am so annoyed that we've been fine with bill paying and as of their mistake we're now in debt to them and feel like we can't sort it out as there is not anyone who will listen or help. Has anyone had similar probelms or does anyone have a number for their English call centre?
    Jess

    hi Jess,
    I am really sorry that you have had so much trouble trying to get this sorted out.  I'll get this straightened out.
    Could you drop me in an email please to the address in my profile with your BT account and telephone number along with a link back to this thread.
    Cheers

  • Need help to start with some file and text manipulation

    Hello script mavens,
    I need help with starting a script that does the following:
    -within a base folder it takes an inventory (list?) of all the files (which happen to be image files).
    -creates a new folder inside the base folder and calls it imagesX where X increases by one every time the script is run
    -moves all the files into the images folder
    -within the base folder it creates a new text file and calls it imagesX.js
    -writes a "//-" into imagesX.js
    -then writes the list of filenames into the imagesX.js twice, separated by an empty line, and adds a semicolon to the end of each filename and saves imagesX.js
    -from a folder a level above the base folder it copies a file called index.html into the base folder and renames in indexX.html
    -in indexX.html it replaces a string "replaceThis" with "imagesX.js"
    The task is more complex but this would help me tremendously do the rest.
    If I am asking for too much on this forum please let me know

    This should get you started.
    The description of how you want to write the data isn't clear, but the rest should work (untested):
    property imageNum : 0 -- last used ImageNumber
    -- within a base folder it takes an inventory (list?) of all the files (which happen to be image files).
    -- get the folder:
    set baseFolder to (choose folder)
    -- now get the files within it:
    tell application "Finder"
    set fileList to every file of folder baseFolder as alias list
    end tell
    --creates a new folder inside the base folder and calls it imagesX where X increases by one every time the script is run
    tell application "Finder"
    set imageNum to imageNum + 1
    set newImageFolder to make new folder at baseFolder with properties {name:"images" & imageNum}
    -- moves all the files into the images folder
    move every file of folder baseFolder to newImageFolder
    --within the base folder it creates a new text file and calls it imagesX.js
    set textFile to (open for access file (baseFolder as text) & "images" & imageNum & ".js" with write permission)
    --writes a "//-" into imagesX.js
    write "//-" to textFile
    -- then writes the list of filenames into the imagesX.js twice, separated by an empty line, and adds a semicolon to the end of each filename and saves imagesX.js
    -- need more info here
    -- a blank line between each instance of the file name? or all file names, blank line, all file names again?
    -- an example, please
    close access textFile
    --from a folder a level above the base folder it copies a file called index.html into the base folder
    --and renames in indexX.html
    --in indexX.html it replaces a string "replaceThis" with "imagesX.js"
    -- the easiest way of doing this is to read the file and write a new copy with the changes - that's easier than changing it in situ:
    set indexHTML to (read file "index.html" of folder (container of baseFolder))
    set {oldTIDs, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, "replaceThis"}
    set indexHTML to text items of indexHTML
    set my text item delimiters to "imagesX.js"
    set indexHTML to indexHTML as text
    set my text item delimiters to oldTIDs
    set indexFile to (open for access file ("index" & imageNum & ".html") with write permission)
    write indexHTML to indexFile
    close access indexFile

  • Issue with "read by other session" and a parallel MERGE query

    Hi everyone,
    we have run into an issue with a batch process updating a large table (12 million rows / a few GB, so it's not that large). The process is quite simple - load the 'increment' from a file into a working table (INCREMENT_TABLE) and apply it to the main table using a MERGE. The increment is rather small (usually less than 10k rows), but the MERGE runs for hours (literally) although the execution plan seems quite reasonable (can post it tomorrow, if needed).
    The first thing we've checked is AWR report, and we've noticed this:

    direct path read     132,430     459     3     1.99     User I/OSo obviously most of the time was consumed by "read by other session" wait event. There were no other queries running at the server, so in this case "other session" actually means "parallel processes" used to execute the same query. The main table (the one that's updated by the batch process) has "PARALLEL DEGREE 4" so Oracle spawns 4 processes.
    I'm not sure how to fix this. I've read a lot of details about "read by other session" but I'm not sure it's the root cause - in the end, when two processes read the same block, it's quite natural that only one does the physical I/O while the other waits. What really seems suspicious is the number of waits - 4 million waits means 4 million blocks, 8kB each. That's about 32GB - the table has about 4GB, and there are less than 10k rows updated. So 32 GB is a bit overkill (OK, there are indexes etc. but still, that's 8x the size of the table).
    So I'm thinking that the buffer cache is too small - one process reads the data into cache, then it's removed and read again. And again ...
    One of the recommendations I've read was to increase the PCTFREE, to eliminate 'hot blocks' - but wouldn't that make the problem even worse (more blocks to read and keep in the cache)? Or am I completely wrong?
    The database is 11gR2, the buffer cache is about 4GB. The storage is a SAN (but I don't think this is the bottleneck - according to the iostat results it performs much better in case of other batch jobs).

    OK, so a bit more details - we've managed to significantly decrease the estimated cost and runtime. All we had to do was a small change in the SQL - instead of
    MERGE /*+ parallel(D DEFAULT)*/ INTO T_NOTUNIFIED_CLIENT D /*+ append */
      USING (SELECT
          FROM TMP_SODW_BB) S
      ON (D.NCLIENT_KEY = S.NCLIENT_KEY AND D.CURRENT_RECORD = 'Y' AND S.DIFF_FLAG IN ('U', 'D'))
      ...(which is the query listed above) we have done this
    MERGE /*+ parallel(D DEFAULT)*/ INTO T_NOTUNIFIED_CLIENT D /*+ append */
      USING (SELECT
          FROM TMP_SODW_BB AND DIFF_FLAG IN ('U', 'D')) S
      ON (D.NCLIENT_KEY = S.NCLIENT_KEY AND D.CURRENT_RECORD = 'Y')
      ...i.e. we have moved the condition from the MERGE ON clause to the SELECT. And suddenly, the execution plan is this
    OPERATION                           OBJECT_NAME             OPTIONS             COST
    MERGE STATEMENT                                                                 239
      MERGE                             T_NOTUNIFIED_CLIENT

              NESTED LOOPS                                      OUTER               239
                PX BLOCK                                        ITERATOR
                  TABLE ACCESS          TMP_SODW_BB             FULL                2
                    Filter Predicates
                      OR
                        DIFF_FLAG='D'
                        DIFF_FLAG='U'
                  TABLE ACCESS          T_NOTUNIFIED_CLIENT       BY INDEX ROWID    3
                    INDEX               AK_UQ_NOTUNIF_T_NOTUNI    RANGE SCAN        2
                      Access Predicates
                        AND
                          D.NCLIENT_KEY(+)=NCLIENT_KEY
                          D.CURRENT_RECORD(+)='Y'
                      Filter Predicates
                        D.CURRENT_RECORD(+)='Y' Yes, I know the queries are not exactly the same - but we can fix that. The point is that the TMP_SODW_BB table contains 1639 rows in total, and 284 of them match the moved 'IN' condition. Even if we remove the condition altogether (i.e. 1639 rows have to be merged), the execution plan does not change (the cost increases to about 1300, which is proportional to the number of rows).
    But with the original IN condition (that turns into an OR combination of predicates) in the MERGE ON clausule, the cost suddenly skyrockets to 990.000 and it's damn slow. It seems like a problem with cost estimation, because once we remove one of the values (so there's only one value in the IN clausule), it works fine again. So I guess it's a planner/estimator issue ...

  • Issue with Reading data with FOR EACH LOOP.

    Hi Guys,
    Scenario
    We Plan Sales of an Article on a half years(fiscal variant MQ with 2 periods of half year each). We also plan the
    number of Weeks in Sales as a Key figure.  The cummulative Sales for two half years in then distributed to number of weeks for which the Article is sold (0CALWEEK)
    In another Cube we plan a distribution profile. This cube contains just three elements.
    Characteristic = ZPROFILE
    TIme Char = 0CALWEEK
    Keyfigure = ZDIST
    (Note : You will notice The distribution profile is not stored per Article here)
    The logic of distribution is :
    1.  Sales of Article is cummulated for 1 years ( eg. for periods 001.2010 & 002.2010 )
    2.  Find the number of weeks in Sales for this Article ( eg. 14 weeks. ) [Technically we store this value on the first fiscal
    period. In our example it is stored in 001.2010
    3.  User choose a distribution profile in a variable ( e.g ZH55 )
    4   ZDIST is summed for number of Sale Weeks for this Article. in our case it is14 weeks.
    5. Distribution = Sales of Article (WEEK N) = [Sales Cummulated for 1 year] * [ZDIST(Week N) / ZDIST(sum of 24 weeks)]
    This loop is run 14 times. (N from 201001 to 201014.)
    TECHICAL DETAILS
    Cube 1 (0CM_SKU = Material, 0CPBAINSABU = SALES key figure, WEEKINSALE = Number of weeks for which Material will be

  • Need  file adapter polling with read operation to be triggered by a BPEL without using synchronous read

    The scenario is:-
    Web Service Client -->input-->BPEL-->if input valid-->trigger file adapter with read operation--> receive file
    i am not able to stop the polling until it is required to trigger the polling.
    As soon as i deploy the composite the file adapter starts polling without waiting for input.
    Since i am using two receive activities, the second one which is suppose to receive file from file adapter is always showing pending state. (asynchronous callback)

    Hi there,
    IMHO the traditional read is used only as inbound operation, that means
    that it starts polling the input folder as soon as the composite gets
    deployed - which is the same you are experiencing.
    In your case you need an outbound operation that needs to be invoked at
    a certain moment. I don't know what are the reasons not to use sync
    read, but this is the only outbound read operation supported by the
    adapter. If you can not use the sync read, then you would have to design
    some custom solution where you call a web service or EJB for instance
    that reads the desired files.
    Another option I can think of, though have not use personally is using
    the adapters programatically in Java - take a look at this blog post as
    it seems related to this topic -
    https://technology.amis.nl/2012/01/22/using-the-oracle-weblogic-technology-adapters-with-custom-java-message-driven-bean-mdb-triggered-by-file-adapter-part-of-the-story/.

  • Need help creating pdf contracts: Reader vs. Acrobat

    I am needing some help regarding creating pdf contracts to send to clients. It will basically need to have info input by 2 different parties, the catering company and their client. I am on a Mac and will be originally creating the pdf contract. It will then be used by a catering company, who is using Windows. They will need to input information into this contract, such as dates, client info, prices, menus, etc. Then, they will email it to the client (probably using Windows) for their electronic signatures, ability to print for their files, etc., and then return the signed pdf to the catering company.
    I have been going through Reader and Acrobat to see which application would be better to use. In Acrobat, I exported the pdf to Word to input info, but Word changes the appearance/formatting of things. The catering personnel don't need to have to rearrange the appearance, they need something they can simply fill in info on. Is there a way around this?? I then made a new pdf and the rest of the process seemed to function okay.
    In Reader, I couldn't find a way to export to Word in order to fill in info and create a new pdf...is this correct? So it seems that I would have to create forms for both parties originally, then have the catering company fill out their portions, and then send the pdf onto the client to fill in their portions. But, if the client highlights the fields, all will be highlighted, not just the ones they need to complete. And, would they be able to alter the fields that the catering company filled out?
    Could somebody PLEASE help me out with the logistics of this process???
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    Boy - it's been a year and a half since you asked this question!  So not sure if you're still out there.....
    Looks like no one replied.  Did you ever figure it out?  I need to do the same thing...
