Problems with Capture Date when converting from PSE9

I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem I'm having when converting my PSE9 catalog to LR3.4. Specifically, about 20% of my images (abouit 2,500 out of 12,000) didn't import with capture dates. I can clearly see the correct capture dates in PSE9 Organizer, but when I view the same imported images in LR3.4, there is no date. This occurs with dates that I've modified in PSE9 as well as dates straight out of the camera.
This is a major problem for me because I'm used to organizing my photos in PSE9 using capture dates. On a related note, PSE9 allows you to set the capture date to a known year and unknown month, day, and time, but when imported into LR3, these dates are converted to Jan 01 of the known year. Sorry, but Jan 01 is not the same as unknown. Is there a way to correctly display unknown portions of a capture date in LR3 similar to the way it's displayed in PSE9?
Sorry if this has been discussed before.

How did you convert your catalog? Did you use File > Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog, or did you use File > Import Photos? You should use the former; the latter has many problems, among which PSE doesn't always correctly write medata (e.g. capture dates) into files. If you used File > Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog, post an image here and we can take a look at its metadata to troubleshoot.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
On a related note, PSE9 allows you to set the capture date to a known year and unknown month, day, and time, but when imported into LR3, these dates are converted to Jan 01 of the known year.
Even though Adobe's XMP metadata standard allows for unknown month, day, or time, most programs including LR don't support it -- PSE is the only program I know of that does (and it has problems). I use the conveniton of 1/1 12:00:00 to represent unknown values.

Hi Srikanth,
I think I'm facing the same issue as you. I looked at the note 323736 but my system seems to be up to date (at least for this issue). I have SAP_BASIS release 700.
Did you upgrade your system ? Did you do something else ?
Thanks for your help.

Do you see problems with text size when importing from Photoshop?

Hi all -
We're working on improving some things in the Photoshop-to-Reflow workflow, and right
now specifically investigating trouble with imported text.
Aside from the desire to have support for local fonts, are there any problems you run into
when importing text from Photoshop into Reflow? We've heard some issues with text size and position,
but want to make sure we understand all of the cases.
If you have problems in this area, please share them in this thread, and I'd also love to get some
sample PSDs that demonstrate the problems. (You can send them directly to me; vmitnick at adobe dot com .)
thanks,
Vic

I'm using CS4.. and I'm using the standard "Save As" .pdf features....
and I'm reading it with adobe acrobat pro 9.1...
i think it has something to do with compression. but i can't figure out how to solve it. converting the text to symbols maybe?

Problem with output data when calling into Oracle stored procedure

I have a problem that I think I've seen posted by others, but I can't find it anywhere on the forum. Here's what it looks like:
I have a application that sends a query parameter called custID in a URL to a JSP page.
http://domain.com/decrypt.jsp?custID=ewsw
The JSP subsequently calls into the method below to run a decryption stored procedure on an Oracle db. The custId parameter works fine from most clients. However, I have seen the decryption stored procedure return invalid information on some clients in the following case:
http://domain.com/decrypt.jsp?custID='eirwx
Here is how I define my call to the DCUSTID (decryption stored procedure):
public long dCustID(String sCustID)throws SQLException {
CallableStatement cs = null;
try {
long nCustID = 0;
if(conn == null || conn.isClosed()) {getLocalConnection();}
String sp = "BEGIN DCUSTID(?,?);END;";
cs = conn.prepareCall(sp);
cs.setString(1, sCustID);
cs.registerOutParameter(2,java.sql.Types.NUMERIC);
cs.execute();
nCustID = cs.getLong(2);
return nCustID;
}finally { release(cs); }
I have not been able to find a problem with the stored procedure (although Im not counting that out). Is there any way that the jsp or the code above is corrupting the data before it gets to the stored procedure? I'm very suspicious of the single quote at the begining of the custID query string parameter.
Thanks

The back tick doesn't matter.
How do you know that the routine that you posted returns invalid information? Are you printing the value retreived before you return in the code that you posted? That is the only way to tell if that code is the problem vs some translation problem in something else.
And what do you mean by 'invalid'? It does return a numeric value right? Is it negative? Or so large that it couldn't be a key? Or what?
The input parameter to the stored proc is a varchar and not a char correct?

Problem with redirect script when calling from external - UCCX

Hi,
I have a problem with external calls not being redirected when the call comes from an external that begins with a certain prefix on teh ANI.
The call path goes PSTN - VGW - UCM SUB - UCCX.
To give you info this should be redirected to a auto attendant on unity but it just hits the fourth option unsuccessful.
If i change it to match an internal ANI and test it works.
What trace and log do i look at to see the call coming in from the UCM and what is happening with it why this is failing when it trys to redirect a call coming from external?
I have also attached my script.
Thanks for the help.

Hi Martin Braun,
Go to GUI status which you set in the PBO of your screen,
and open "Function Keys" part.
You should have set function key F4 for a button on your GUI status,
delete this button and create with another function key again.
I hope it helps.

Problems with custom authentication when migrating from 3.2 to 4.1.1

Hi,
we’re about to upgrade our APEX instances to 4.1.1 and to migrate our applications. I encountered some problems with our custom authentication schema.
1. Recognize already authenticated sessions: in 3.2 the sentry function could return false as long as the user was not authenticated. Public pages could still be displayed (including the login page). The result of the function apex_custom_auth.is_session_valid returned false until once the sentry function returned true. How can I recognize non authenticated sessions in 4.1.1? I looked for the test the Condition “User is the public user (user has not authenticated)” computes on a page but didn’t found the right one. It’s not what docu states here (comparison with the public user): http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21674/condition001.htm#HTMDB25943. I replaced the test with p_authentication.username = ‘nobody’. It works. But that doesn’t seem to me to be the right way …
2. Post_logout lacks session context: the Post Logout Procedure does not receive a session_id and username. Neither the V(‘APP_SESSION’) nor p_authentication.session_id are set. This applies to both plugin authentication schemes and non-plugin custom authentication schemes. Is there another way to obtain the logged-out sessions infos or is this a bug?
See apex.oracle.com for a demo, workspace WS_MW, gast/gast. Can someone please guide me the way?
Michael

Hello again,
there are no replies until now .... I reviewed some posts regarding custom authentication again and did not find any solution for the issues. Found some that worked with APEX 3.2.1 but not with 4.1.1. I can only work around
1.) in an insecure way, because the non documented (?) user "nobody" can change and all new sessions will be considered authenticated
2.) in a way, that ends up in implementing the logout from the non apex environment outside the authentication schema or authentication plugin.
May be I should contact support for at least the second issue because this doesn't work as documented or am I doing something wrong?

GUI_DOWNLOAD problems with CR+LF when transfering from unicode system

Hi,
I was successfuly used FM GUI_DOWNLOAD in a non-unicode systems for years. Lately I faced a challenge to rewrite my code for a unicode system. The configuration is:
- SAP R/3 unicode system;
- data to be downloaded at presentation server in a non-unicode codepage (cp 9504).
I have successfuly used a GUI_DOWNLOAD-parameter CODEPAGE and the data is translated correctly when checking local file, but due to some reasons CRLF are replaced with '#' (which is default value of REPLACEMENT parameter of this function) - means at the end of each row as a result I have '##' instead of CRLF.
My question is: how can I force correct behaviour of GUI_DOWNLOAD in order to get my output file at presentation server with CR+LF?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

Ivaylo Mutafchiev

P.S. In order to find some other way to fix my problem I'm still playing with the instanciation of a CL_ABAP_CONV_OBJ and its methods create & convert, but without success for now - resulted strings are not as expected.

Hi,
in fact, I never placed CRLF in my lines before your suggestion. The rest was done by the FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'. It works fine even when I use unicode file as output - means I got my CRLF at the end of the record in MY OUTPUT FILE ONLY but not in my internal table - I never placed CR+LF in there.
The problem occures when I tried to use GUI_DOWNLOAD with parameter CODEPAGE = '9504' (some non-unicode codepage), and the original data (my internal table) is in unicode. Then (in my opinion) this function doesn't translate the unicoded CR+LF into non-unicode ones (if thats possible at all, I can't be sure) and the result is '##' in the output file.
I checked the value of CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF by getting it in my variable - and it is '##'.
Whet should I put into this class-attribute in order to get it working in this scenario? I have no idea...
The attribute type is ABAP_CR_LF - which is char 2.
What next?
Thanks,
Ivaylo

Problem with BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA when calling from other system

Hi All,
I able create new material using the BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA in development system.
but when i am calling this BAPI from other systems by passing the same values that i used in the development system . system is giving me an error ( in the return statement) saying that material number doesn't exists .
Can any one have some pointers towards this ?
Thanks & Regards,
Praveen

Hi,
this FM BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA
is used to extend a material to another plant
for that you need to read the original data via BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_DETAIL and then select additional data from MKVE and save it via BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA with table parameter SALESDATA
also check with
BAPI_STANDARDMATERIAL_CREATE Create/Extend Material
BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA - QM - Inspection Setup
Problem in BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA

Problem with image location when converting word document to pdf

Hello all,
I am new to all this and this question may be already answered, but when I try to convert a word (2003-2007) document containing images (inserted photos) into a pdf document using Adober Reader 8, the images are moved from their original location and the size and ratio are changed. Is there either a process for preserving the images as they are in the word doucment or a way to fix the problem? Thanks for any help you can give.
Regards,
Rose

Really not sure what you are trying to do since you can not import images into Reader. Since Reader can not create PDFs, we are at a loss of your problem. If you mean Acrobat, then tell us exactly the steps you are using to create the and what versions of both programs Like AA8.1., WORD 2003 (possibly release also) or WORD 2007. The different versions of WORD also also interact with Acrobat differently.

Problem with external HD when waking from sleep

I have just bought a formac oxygen mini 80G external HD, i am using firewire to connect to my iBook. Problem is that pretty much everytime I wake from sleep the warning dialog appears saying that I didn't eject the drive properly and some data may be lost. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi, r.r.
The behavior you describe implies that your FireWire drive is not recognizing Mac OS X power management commands: when the Mac enters sleep, the drive may actually be powering-off.
If a FireWire drive is powered off or disconnected without first being Ejected, you would also see that message. In some cases, that can result in the partition map of the FireWire drive becoming corrupted, requiring that one use data recovery tools or services — such as discussed in my "Data Recovery" FAQ — to recover the data on the drive.
1. Check with Formac to see if there is a firmware upgrade for your FireWire drive.
2. In combinations, try a different FireWire cable and a different FireWire port on your Mac.
Good luck!

Problems with DBConnect datasources when triggered from pchain (DB2 databas

Hello,
We are using BI 7 and DB Connect functionality to remotely connect to our DB2/DB6 database to extract some data.
We created source system and data sources based on dbconnect and included infopackages, etc. into our process chains to load.
When we schedule process chain to run at certain times, InfoPackages fail at random or continue to run indefinitely. There is no clear error message, other than: Database system cannot be reached or The request is still running in the source system.
We made sure database was up during the times we are trying to schedule process chain. So, this is not the issue. The interesting thing is that whenever we try to run InfoPackages manually (not through pchain), we do not get any errors ever.
It appears that this issue occurs only when the load is triggered from the process chain (BWREMOTE user). And it happens at random. One day it could work fine, another day the same infopckage would fail.
Any ideas of what might be happening?
Thanks
Edited by: AG on Mar 16, 2010 1:30 PM

Hello,
I am not sure with this just trying to help you..
When you run the infopackage manually it uses the User name and password hard coded in the Source System Connection Settings, and when you run it from process chain does it still use the same username and password as this happens in backgroud please check that.
Also clear any other yellow loads/pending jobs in SM37 of this job(triggered from process chain) type in the past.
waiting for your feedback.

Problem with ChemDraw structures when converting word doc to pdf

I am trying to convert a word document with ChemDraw structures in it to a pdf. When it converts, I doesn't hold the chemical structures together. Is there a quick solution?

Bill@VT wrote:
I realize that many word processors have an option to turn off the printer metric use. I finally found it in OFFICE 2007 and it is indeed off. It is not off in OFFICE 2003. Though it is available to folks, it is far from an obvious option in WORD. In the word processor I use it is NOT an option and there is actually a warning in the help about the printer metrics. The fact that there may be a switch in a package is not a given and the information I provide is not incorrect, though adding a comment about a switch option is reasonable.
Yes it's on in prior versions that wasn't ny uncertainity. I wasn't positive it was off in Office 2007. Why do you make a strawman argument over something that isn't the point of contention ? <sigh>
You were incorrect. Printer Metrics is the only answer because it's a global switch. You're not helping by telling people to use a solution that's not permanent. It's a clumsy hack.

Problem with logo size when converted to eps

I am brand new to Illustrator. I have created a logo and converted it to an eps file. My problem is that when I use the logo, it is a big square with a lot of empty space on the bottom. I sized the art board to the area around the logo but when I convert it I still get this big square with the logo on the top part when I paste it into my word document. How do I get it cropped down to the correct size. I have someone waiting for this and I can't even get it in a format they can use.

Sounds like there is a hidden element somewhere forcing the entire document to wherever that element is, even outside the artboard. Just a hunch. Do a Command Y ( Mac ) or Control Y ( PC ) to see outlines. Then, do a "Select All" and see if the element shows up anywhere. Find it and delete it. Now, maybe there is no hidden element. This is what I do for every logo I've prep'd: A.) if the artwork is 2" h x 3" w ( hypothetically speaking ), set your artboard size to 3 x 5. Set an imaginary holding line to the 3x5 size by applying a rectangle 3x5 with no stroke and no fill > then Lock it ( Object > Lock selection ). You may benefit by Exporting the artwork as an RGB .tiff and using that in Word. However, you can import or insert an .eps in Word, but whatever works better. Hope this helps.

Problem with Navigation Attributes when upgrading from BI 3.1 to BI 7.0

Hello,
I have the following problem that occured regarding queries during the upgrade from BI 3.1 to BI 7.0:
As far as the queries are concerned it is not possible in the 7.0 system to completely rebuild them according to the queries in 3.1. More specifically this refers to a certain number of navigation attributes that cannot be integrated into the query. In this case the following error message appears: "Error in BW: Missing mapping partprov cha <-> multiprov cha". Moreover, this error message only appears when you try to include navigation attributes into the query that are all attributes of the same specific InfoObject.
I have already checked in the 7.0 system if the relevant objects have the status 'active' and if the identification between the Multiprovider and the InfoObjects used is correct. So, is there anybody who may has another idea why this error message appears respectively who experienced the same/similar problem?
Thanks in advance & Regards

Hello Martin,
yes, I've also checked the identification in the MultiProvider for the navigational attributes. There is nothing missing.
I've also reactivated the objects.
Do you may have another idea?
Thanks and regards, Ines
