Odd String Truncation Issue

Hello all,
I am having the strangest problem with a crystal report truncating a text field when reading records from the DB. Basically, I have a varchar(6) string field in my Oracle database that holds batch numbers for credit card transactions. The report worked fine until some users started getting into batches numbered higher than 999. Anytime a 4th character is added (ie, 1004), my report will read the string as '100'. All of the other fields in the record are being read fine.
Oddly enough, this only happens on some databases/machines and not others. For instance, a DB dump of this data to a local machine will work fine and the report reads '1004'. I have captured the SQL the report is using to obtain records and pasted it in an Oracle client (TOAD) and the record pulls fine with the batch number being '1004'. The width of the field on the report is long enough to display much more than 4 characters, so that's not the issue. Anyone seen this type of issue before or have any ideas on how to troubleshoot it?
We are using Crystal Reports XI R2 to design the report.

Hi Chuck Reed,
Can you add that field through Add Command and see all digets are coming in ?
Go in Datbase expert --Under you datbase connection click on Add Command and write sql like
Select BatchNumber from Table and link the batchnumber with your table batch number and place command batchnumber in report and check.
Thanks,
Sastry

Warning - 1241024 - Possible string truncation in column #

I am running the following command in a simple MaxL script, the output of which is sent to a text file:
display variable App.DB.SubVar;
The text file appears to have generated fine, with the substitution variable value displayed. However, the following warnings are returned each time from the stderr output. Should I be concerned? Is there any way to rectify this?
WARNING - 1241024 - Possible string truncation in column 3.
WARNING - 1241028 - Output column defined with warnings.
WARNING - 1241024 - Possible string truncation in column 4.
WARNING - 1241028 - Output column defined with warnings.

Hi John,
Many thanks for your response. The problem is a little confusing, as I cannot see how anything is being truncated here - indeed there are characters to spare! Could it be because the potential size of the substitution variable name is 320 bytes and the potential size of the substitution variable value is 256 bytes (11.1.2.1)? Could this be the cause of the warnings here?
Adding "set column_width 10;" does not appear to remove the warnings either unfortunately. Do you please have any other thoughts on how I might remove the warnings? It might allay the fears of the client later on!

Flat file truncation issue

I am attempting to perform a fairly standard operation, extract a table to a flat file.
I have set all the schemas, models and interfaces, and the file is produced how I want it, apart from one thing. In the source, one field is 100 characters long, and in the output, it needs to be 25.
I have set the destination model to have a column physical and logical length of 25.
Looking at the documentation presented at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25054_01/integrate.1111/e12644/files.htm - this suggests that setting the file driver up to truncate fields should solve the issue.
However, building a new file driver using the string 'jdbc:snps:dbfile?TRUNC_FIXED_STRINGS=TRUE&TRUNC_DEL_STRINGS=TRUE' does not appear to truncate the output.
I noticed a discrepancy in the documentation - the page above notes 'Truncates strings to the field size for fixed files'. The help tooltip in ODI notes 'Truncates the strings from the fixed files to the field size'. Which might explain the observed lack of truncation.
My question is - what is the way to enforce field sizes in a flat file output?
I could truncate the fields separately in each of the mapping statements using substr, but that seems counter-intuitive, and losing the benefits of the tool.
Using ODI Version:
Standalone Edition Version 11.1.1 - Build ODI_11.1.1.5.0_GENERIC_110422.1001

If this is an elementary issue, please let me know what I've missed in the manual.

String Truncation Exception in SQL Server

I get an error when issuing an updateRow() after updateString("String Field", "Test"). My exception is:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]String data
, right truncation
at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcResultSet.setPos(JdbcOdbcResultSet.java:5068)
at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcResultSet.updateRow(JdbcOdbcResultSet.java:4053
at exuberance.remote.JDBCClient.setFieldValue(JDBCClient.java:446)
I believe this occurs because Java stores strings in Unicode (2 bytes), but I'm not positive. Any help would be much appreciated.

You are passing a string that is too big.
Possibilities:
-String you are passing is bigger than field it is being inserted into.
-Total length of SQL call exceeds the max len limit (8000?, 2174?)
-The string is a actually a 'blob' type of string (greater than 8000 on MS SQL?) and you need to use the same sort of handling for blobs to pass it.

Regarding String truncation

Hello all,
I have got a small problem. Hope you will help me.
I have got a text String which contains both single byte characters and multi-byte characters mixed up(English characters and non-english characters) which i need to insert into database table. Now the database column is set to store a text of maximum length of 100 bytes so it is required to truncate the string before insertion. Now the problem is when i extract the first 100 bytes from the string, the last character of the string sometimes gets changed( due to extracting only first byte of multi-byte character). The dumbest solution I thought to get around this is something like this:
                //Here remarks contains the string value
     if (null!= remarks && remarks.getBytes().length > 100 ) {
                      while (remarks.getBytes().length > 100) {
                           remarks = remarks.substring(0, remarks.length()-1 );
                 }I am wondering is there any other elegant solution for this as the loop part is time-consuming and moreover, i am inserting the records in a count of thousands.

Thanks for your reply
Why do you have to do that on your own? It's the databases task to correctly truncate a String, if necessary (and inform you of the fact by issuing a Warning).
But when i insert a string of size greater than 100 bytes i am getting an SQL Exception.
Also, is the size of the text field really restricted by the number of bytes instead of the number of characters? I've seen that in some DBs (can't remember which ones), but it's a pretty bad idea and fortunately not all do it that way.
I am using Oracle9i and the size of text field is restricted by the number of bytes.
Also, your code assumes that the database uses the same encoding as the default locale of the machine running your code. Workaround: find out the encoding of the Database and use that when calling getBytes().Points taken. Thanks.

New Airport Extreme802.11n &Very Odd Network&Computer Issues

Hi,
We Replaced a D-Link DGL4300 802.11G and a Airport Express M9470LL/A with the most current Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11N 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz Dual Band and a Airport Express 802.11N (to use with a Shared USB HP1022 Laser Jet Printer. I have contacted Apple Tech Support once regarding setup and mentioned this other ? strange issue(s)
We have broadband cable that goes to a Motorola SB5101(meets ISP specs) then Ethernet cable
from Cable Modem to Wan Port on Airport Extreme. We have multiple computers all with wireless capability 1) Imac 800mhz 874 mb ram 802.11bAirport Card 2) eMac 1.0 Ghz 1gb ram Airport Extreme 802.11bWireless Card
3) eMac 1.25 Ghz 1.0gb ram and a Airport Extreme 802.11bWireless Card* all running OSX Panther 10.3.9 *and each with 802.11B wireless cards 4) Macbook Pro bought Dec 2009 running Snow Leopard 4gb ram and 250gb HDand 802.11n wireless card 5) HP Tower xw4550 running Win XP Pro SP3 4gb ram 500GB HD and a 802.11G wireless card 6) Dell Mini Net Book running Win XP Home SP3 1ghz 1gb ram 150 GB HD and a
802.11n wireless card.
At first tried setting up the Airport Extreme with the Dell Mini as it met specs and (as of Yesterday) the Mac Book Pro is with one of our children at college but was able to set up setting up the Airport Utility and Hardware for both Peripheral Devices with the Mac Book Pro.
Then things got odd. All the computers were online (as well as two wireless "Live" capable gaming systems XBox360 and Sony PS3 , I did not check my eMac until the next day
and when I woke it from sleep (or started it) I got "You need to restart your computer"
? Kernel Panic , I ran Disk Utility, Tech Tool Deluxe, Apple Hardware Test and even Applejack. no change and while permissions were repaired Tech Tool Deluxe and The Apple Hardware Test showed no faults with anything, Tried PRAM. restart etc, then we had the other eMac 1.0ghz which has been unused since the Mac Book Pro arrived as a gift, Plugged it in , started it up, and got online, no black screen, even checked and responded to email, then restarted the (2nd eMac 1.0ghz) and the "You need to restart your computer screen came up!) once seems oh maybe, possibly its crashed, or dying out
but two side by side, No Way! , so we then isolated electrical outlets, to the extent with a 100 foot extension cord outside on our back breezeway, same thing. We even went and bought a new battery and tried it in both , no change, * Was able to shut off the airport card in safe mode, restarted and it functioned as a normal computer with airport extreme card off
*same with the 1.0ghz emac airport card off and restart and functions as a computer but no online access. We then moved one close to the Airport Extreme and hooked up by ethernet and changed the settings and Bingo no Kernel Panic Like screen and can get online, tried the other same thing! So currently the two eMacs sit side by side and we bought a long ethernet cord and it works on the table where it originally was,
I did mention this to the Apple Technician that called from Apple regarding a setup issue (as have 90 days telephone support) and he said *That there have been reports of where there are with a Guest Network (we had one set up and He had us remove it as He asked if we really needed it and I said no AND also with networks with computers with wireless cards 802.11b
and 802.11g computers on a network with the802.11n computers and a 802.11n Airport Extreme, he could not explain it any further, he suggested a possible 3rd party software incompatibilty : recent download (but have not done any on the 1.25ghz eMac and the 1.0ghz has been shut
off since Dec 2009. I am baffled , my Wife and I were seriously considering buying a new Imac to replace the 1.25ghz after the Black screen showed up, but when the other one did the same, and did the trouble shooting and then the ethernet connect we saved ourselves a lot of money (t would be nice to have a new Imac but $$ is not there)
and in the past week now (could be our ISP) our Internet connection has dropped off 4 times usually for 30-45 minutes but Friday 8-20-10 it was over 3 hours (yet our Cable TV came in) I will contact our ISP who handles both the broadband about the outages
and our cable TV has been fuzzy -grainy at times, I called Them Friday and their were no outages in our area (system wide) Now though (except with Win XP) that is our access to the Airport Extreme and Utility (it blinks orange off and on when the internet is down) the Airport Express has stayed green each time. I will contact Apple also as ?
is it the Airport Extreme (but its intermittent) channels are set to automatically if thats helpful data rather than set to a specific channel, its fairly rural where we live
I thought of buying Tiger but saw the extreme prices and I called Apple per a recent Apple Thread they did not have Tiger Retail(nor did I expect then to) but after discussing
the Emacs they said why pay so much for Tiger (and a lot are used) they said and went over both eMacs specs and I checked in detail online and called them back as it was in a "card hold" and bought Leopard 10.5.6 (as min of 512 ram, DVD drive (have a combo -drive) and a Power PCG4 which both are and I am now getting unused (non System) data off the eMac and backing it up as well and its job will be to be able to access the Airport Utility (Apple OSX Leopard 10.5.6 was $129.00 plus tax free shipping and it arrived yesterday so if settings need changed can do that (with Win XP the Airport Utility
was so different and after about 4 hours and no progress I stopped and switched to he Laptop the next day!
Has anyone experienced anything like this, I read up on both peripherals before buying and called as well to the Apple Online Store to make sure we could 1) set it up and 2) all computers specs were met to be able to a)use the network for online use and b)as well as shared printing from any and all computers and they do meet the specifications
* one last item , my Wife's Imac is also on via Ethernet, It asked for a WEP password and that was not a option in the Airport Utility set up ,only WPA-WPA2 Personal password-Security configuration
so She is not on wirelessly (though I know She has been as in the past, Her Imac was on a desk in the foyer ) That may have been with the 802.11b Apple Airport white dome and not the D-Link 802.11G router of which we had a lot of configuration issues
*I could be wrong and will read up on her specs via the Mac Tracker application or online
Many Thanks, Its so odd I did not want to leave out data etc but its a *long post and I apologize for that, I hope some one can send some light on this. On a positive avoided buying a new computer!
but makes no sense (at least to us)!

I too have a MacBook Pro (running OS X 10.6.6) and a PowerBook G4 (1.67 GHz, OS X 10.4.11) and an AirPort Extreme 802.11n. I configured the new AirPort Extreme Base Station N last week using the MacBook Pro and the PowerBook can no longer operate with AirPort on (Restart Computer message). A rep at the Genius Bar indicated that WPA2 encryption might interfere with the G4?? He recommended setting up WEP encryption, this is no longer an option using the AirPort setup assistant.
It would be very helpful to know how this original post was resolved. The G4 SHOULD be able to work with the AirPort Extreme 802.11n in theory, right??

Odd Run As issue with Windows 8.1 - Run As domain administrator not working

I'm having an odd issue on a Windows 8.1 laptop. I log in with my standard account, but want to open things like group policy management with my special separate domain admin account. so I press shift, right click, run as a different user - fill in my username
and password and get an access denied message. I verified I was using the right account info, verified UAC was turned off. I can run it as my non-domain admin account but of course I don't have access to everything. In the event viewer, I'm getting these messages:
Application log:

This and a few other similar messages show up in the application log, over and over again.
Also the Application log has a couple of these, showing up only when I try to open as the domain admin account:
Windows detected your registry file is still in use by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded now. The applications or services that hold your registry file may not function properly afterwards. No user action is required.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm at a complete loss.
As a quick edit - I also am not out of space on the hard drive, I have many gigs on my partition left.

Hi,
This issue may occur if you do not have the appropriate permissions assigned to the folder.
Please make sure you have the sufficient permission to access the folder:
logon with that domain admin account to check if you could access that file.
If it works fine, logon with that domain standard user account do it again.
In addition, why didn't you run as administrator directly(don't use
Run as different user)?

Acquiring 24-bit sound with a third-party sound card... truncation issues.

I am having a very strange problem when using LabVIEW to acquire audio
data via the Windows API from a Creative Professional E-MU 1616m sound
card. The goal is to acquire sound in 24-bit resolution.
When capturing sound in 16-bit mode (as set in the LabVIEW software),
the E-MU 1616m behaves as expected, with a 105dB SNR and approximately
-130dB noise floor, after dithering. However, when switching to
24-bit capture mode, a very severe truncation occurs. This sends
the harmonic distortion and noise through the roof. After
investigating fairly deeply in our LabVIEW code, I am wondering what
might be the problem.
I have compiled a number of screenshots which showcase the problem in more detail.
Here is a background of the experiment:
For these tests, both the analog and digital audio was generated by an
Audio Precision System Two system, and was passed directly into the
respective line-level or digital audio inputs. Digital audio was
tested using both coax and optical cable. In the sound card
control software, the audio was sent directly from the input channel
into the WAVE IN L/R (via the Windows API, I assume). The
sampling rate for the profile was 96kHz.
The sampling rate in all LabVIEW functions was set to 96kHz. The sample rate set in the AP Digital generator was 96kHz.
ANALOG 20dBu 96kHz 16bit.jpg
In this test, everything looks fine. The audio input is at
Full-scale for the E-mu's ADCs. It is exhibiting expected 16-bit
performance (with dithering).
ANALOG 20dBu 96kHz 24bit.jpg
Now we instruct the driver to capture sound in 24 bits. Notice
that the noise floor and THD+N go up considerably. Effects of
truncation become visible on the time-domain display.
ANALOG -20dBu 96kHz 16bit.jpg
Now we drop the input level to -20dBu. The performance
starts to look a little messy but is still acceptable. Note,
however, the high peaks on the odd harmonics.
ANALOG -20dBu 96kHz 24bit.jpg
Now we try to capture at 24 bits. The effects of truncation are extreme at this low signal level.
ANALOG -60dBu 96kHz 16bit.jpg
Now we are at extremely low signal levels. Individual
quantization levels can be seen on the signal. Dither is also
present. Performance is still good.
ANALOG -60dBu 96kHz 24bit.jpg
However, when increasing the resolution to 24 (which should increase
the number of quantization levels), our signal is reduced to a square
wave. Obviously something is wrong.
DIGITAL 0dB 16bit 96kHz 16bit.jpg
Now on to the digital tests. We start with full-scale. We
used an AP outputting a properly dithered 16-bit signal over an optical
cable. The soundcard is instructed to receive in 16 bit
mode. It looks good.
DIGITAL 0dB 16bit 96kHz 24bit.jpg
Using the same input, we change to 24 bit receive mode.
DIGITAL 0dB 24bit 96kHz 16bit.jpg
Now we set up the AP to output a properly dithered 24-bit signal at
full-scale. The dips in the frequency domain show us that
something is wrong.
DIGITAL 0dB 24bit 96kHz 24bit.jpg
Receiving in 24-bit mode. Same story as before.
DIGITAL -90dB 16bit 96kHz 16bit.jpg
Now we decrease the amplitude to a low level. Well-implemented dither is shown here clearly.
DIGITAL -90dB 16bit 96kHz 24bit.jpg
However, receiving in 24-bit mode reduces the signal to a dithered square wave.
DIGITAL -90dB 24bit 96kHz 16bit.jpg
Here is the low-level signal with the AP generating a 24-bit
signal. Dither is applied, but vanishes in the e-mu 1616m.
It seems the dither level has been changed. This is the cause of
our dips from before.
DIGITAL -90dB 24bit 96kHz 24bit.jpg
And finally, we transmit and receive in 24-bits. Here are the results.
We have achieved similar results using several of your breakout boxes and soundcards.
Attached are all screenshots, as well as the main VI (AP Test.vi) and
the dependent vi's. There are a number of SVT vi's in the
project, but they can be ignored since they are not related to the
problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Brett Gildersleeve

Hi Brett,
I took a look at the code you attached, but it appears that you may have left out the subvi that actually acquires the sound. When you say Windows API, I assume that you are calling a DLL at some point. How are you configuring the inputs (or what function are you using)? It could be (and this is just a guess) that when you specify 24 bits, the DLL returns the data in a very specific format. If you don't interpret the bits that are returned correctly, LabVIEW may not know what to do with them, as LabVIEW does not have a native 24-bit datatype. If there is any documentation for these function calls, our answer might there...
Just some thoughts -- thanks for posting your solution!

Soap adapter: string transformations issues

I have a difficult issue:
I want to send a SOAP message to a thirdparty environment ,this environment requieres a special format of the message XML to String; iu2019ll put a sample:
< SOAP:Body >
< ns0:application xmlns:ns0=u201Dhttp://xxxxxx/yyyyyyy.com/zzzzu201D >
< in0>
< inputMessage >
< request>name </request >
< versionMsg>x.0
u2026u2026u2026u2026..
< /parameters >
< /inputMessage>
This is the meesage that i process with PI. Then when it arrives to the other environment should be as this one, i'll write wrong the chars because the web change it in code...:
u201C< SOAP:Body >
< ns0:application xmlns:ns0=u201Dhttp://xxxxxx/yyyyyyy.com/zzzzu201D>
< in0>
& lt inputMessage& gt
& lt request & gt name& lt /request& gt
& lt versionMsg& gt x.0& lt /versionMsg& gt
etc etc etcu2026u2026.u201D
I have changed it in the mapping, it's something easy to map a source structure ot a target whit a string field and mark Return as XML in the source field. that's ok.
But now is the problem: The SOAP adapter changes all the '&' in differents chars as:&|#|34 (i separate whit |in this sample) or the tag > or < in other ascii chars.
Some one knows what can i do? i have tried too whit the last post, the module config for SOAP adapter: strictXML2PlainBean but it doesn't work.
Any help will be appreciated.
Best regards and thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance and best regards.

No, the problem is that the SOAP adapter does the escaping of these chars, so i can't control it. I am trying to deploy a EAR in the server, but i guess that an easiest way should exist for this case.
The main problem is that the thirdparty system has an filter and this kind of chars are not allowed, this system only understand & lt and & gt in the string field.
Thanks anyway

Odd file access issues OES 11 SP1

Hello,
We're running a VMWare ESXi 5.1 cluster. On that we have an OES 11 cluster managing groupwise/iprint/nss/dhcp/dns services. Over the summer we updated to SP1 on the OES side.
This school year we have seen some odd issues, particularly with our NSS volumes. Occasionally, some users will report that they can't see their home directory or other shared folders. I actually had one user opening up a shared folder for our high school and was seeing a shared folder for a completely different school. If you created a new folder, it put it in the proper share. So, very weird behavior. Generally a client reboot fixes the issues, but it's becoming common enough that I feel there is some underlying issue.
Any thoughts about what could be causing this? I'm not even sure where to look as far as logs go when we see the problem.
-Ian

You've patched up SLES and OES to the current patch level? What client OS and protocol is in use? What Novell client version, if any?

Odd Airport Extreme Issues

Hi I'm new to these discussion boards but I was wondering if someone could possibly help me with some airport issues I've been having. My roommate and I both share use an Extreme with Comcast and as far as internet goes everything is great. However outside of that it has issues with my different devices. My main complaint that I would want to be fixed the most is the issue of my PS3. When I hook up my Playstation to the base station it recognizes everything fine and goes through all the steps without an issue. When I go to test the connect though it fails when it tries to connect to the Playstation Network. I know this is an issue with the Airport cause I have the same setup at another house with a different router and have no problems. The reason I find it odd though is because it will randomly work at the most random of times. If someone could help me that would be wonderful since I've been having to live with this for almost 10 months now

+I typically do adjustments to the configuration file via wireless. Do you recommend that I only use a hard-wire connection to adjust the configuration file?+
My preference is to do any configuration changes this way and I advise users to use this method, but if wireless works reliably, there's no reason to change.
Have you checked the disk for errors using Disk Utility?
Are you using a powered USB hub with the drive? The USB port on the AirPort Extreme does not supply enough current for a number of hard drives.
FAT 32 can't handle single file sizes larger than 4 GB, so that may be something to check as well.
You are correct that Time Machine can't be used on the FAT 32 formatted disk.

Really odd First Launch issues

Hello All,
I am having som really, really odd issues with my PowerMac G4...
Everytime I start-up from a cold boot (I turn it off during the night...) I return in the morning, and it can't see my network!
I usually just restart again, and everything is fine.... but last friday, I had to fight with it for close to an hour to get it back working.
No patches have been applied, no setting have been changed, it's on a APC UPS system.. it is just used as a workstation...(graphical work)
It is running 10.3.9... (and has been since it was available, this issue has been going on for about a month now)
Any clues to this slightly aggrivating problem?
I don't really want to get a new Desktop until a Commercial MacIntel machine is available.
Thanks!!!

Hi Gabriel!
Why turn it off? Leave it on all night since OS X runs maintenence on the computer during the night. This could be part of problem . I would also suggest booting up from the install disk and running disk utility from it and repairing permissions.
Also, is it possible your APC UPS system is getting turned off at night too? Perhaps the battery is going bad and just needs replacing?

The particular string value that is causing a problem is "Travel and Expenditure". I believe it is due to the "AND" in the string but this string value cannot be changed in the database to say "Travel & Expenditure".
I have thought about using a REPLACE function in the SELECT statement but see this as an ugly solution.
Any input greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,

Odd Word 2011 issue

I have an odd issue with Office 2011. At the beginning of sessions, I can tell Word, other office programs, or adobe to share email as attachment, and they will correctly open Outlook and open a new mail with the current word document, powerpoint or whatever it is, attached. At some point during a longer session on my MacBook Air, however, this ceases to work, and the application either hangs, or generates - after a fair bit of thinking - an error message that "Word was unable to mail your document." (or Powerpoint etc.)
I can imagine this is a memory issue or memory leak, but short of rebooting, have not found a solution. Closing and reopening outlook does not solve the problem. Nor does closing other big memory use programs. Outlook continues to function, so, for example, I can compose a mail and attach a saved document to it and send that ok. But I cannot send from another application via outlook. It's clear the other apps know that Outlook should be the mail handler, since Word, for example, shifts the focus to Outlook, but then the process goes no further.
As I say when I reboot, the system works properly.
thanks for any advice.

Odd character sizing issue

I'm having an issue with some odd character sizing (ID cs6). The font I'm using is Avenir Next Condensed Demi Bold (although this issue is happening with other font weights within the same family). The image below shows the problem, the u is slighly larger than the other characters. Sometimes this goes away on-screen depending on how close I zoom in, but the real problem is that it's printing slightly larger too. It's the same paragraph style, and I don't have any character styles applied... any ideas on what is going on here, and more crucially, how to fix this? Thanks kindly in advance for any help with this.

Does this happen in other applications? How about AI, Word, LibreOffice, that sort of thing. Do you have another computer with Avenir installed you can test the font on?
