Question about how ExifMeta handles multivalued tags

Hi,
I have tested the ExifMeta (Great work, just what I needed!) to read face recognition data written by Picasa to RegionName, RegionType etc. fields in jpg metadata. Everything seems to work fine if there is only one name in the field but Picasa writes several values separated with commas like this:
RegionName John Doe, Jill Doll
RegionType Face, Face
etc.
In that case, the corresponding fields remain completely empty. So is this convention of writing several values separated by commas "standard" way of doing this? Is there any way to fix this?
Additionally, three Region category tags refuse to load giving the following error:
"Not updating due to error getting property, id: XMPmwgrs_RegionAppliedToDimensionsUnit, from: nil, to: pixel, err-msg: Attempt to access property "XMPmwgrs_RegionAppliedToDimensionsUnit" not declared in com.robcole.lightroom.ExifMeta's Info.lua"
This is minor problem but it would be nice to know how to handle this kind of error in the future. Do I need to declare these in the lua-code if I need them?
Looking forward to replies,
Mikko

Mikko,
In future, please direct exif-meta specific questions to the exif-meta forum, or me personally.
But a quick answer: exif-meta doesn't (by default) parse ("interpret") text values, so commas shouldn't be handled differently than any other text.
The best way to find out what's going on is to invoke exiftool from the command line and inspect the output.
My hunch is there is a zero character in there representing end-of-string, which can cause problems for lua code (e.g. Lightroom).
If you send me one of your files which includes the face data, I'll have a look.
PS - No clue about the 3 region tags (might be worth trying it with the latest version of exiftool) - please send me a file for inspection - thanks.

Question about how HP handles customer service issues

I am the owner of three HP laptops. Two of which are dead now due to the defective Nvidia chips they contained. When I called HP to report this issue, I was told by numerous HP customer service reps that they were not aware of any issues with the Nvidia GPU or that there had not been a high number of recorded problems concerning this. It has been proven in numerous documents made public recently that this defect was known about and there had been a high frequency of this issue. I would like to know why I was told these falsehoods and treated the way I was?
I subsequently decided to dismantle one of the computer to investigate the GPU. Sure enough the epoxy that reinforces the BGA solder-joint was cracked in the chip was no longer making good electrical contact with the PCB. What I found really perplexing was the 1/4" gap between the GPU and the copper heat-sink that was intended to provide cooling. I would assume HP was responsible for the cooling and chassis design? I would also assume it as HP who filled this GAP will thermal foam. Please correct me if I am wrong.

The recall was for certain models, did you confirm that your model was one of them?

Round trip workflow with proxies between Premiere and AE / a more general question about how these programs work?

Hi all,
I'm new to editing with proxies in Premiere and have some questions about how to handle the relationship with After Effects. Say I have a rough cut (with proxies) and I want to send it to AE to do some effects. The simplest thing to do seems to be to replace the proxies with the originals in Premiere, send the project to AE and do my thing. But if I then want to send the project back to Premiere, it will involve the original files, which are too machine-intensive for me to edit. In theory, it seems like there should be a way to send the project with original footage to AE, do effects, send it back to Premiere, and then replace it with proxies to do further editing while retaining the effects.
This leads to a confusion about how AE works. When I do an effect, am I correct in assuming that it does nothing to the original file? If that's the case, it seems like it shouldn't matter (in the editing stage) what file AE "applies" an effect to (proxy or original). But I feel like there's a hitch in this workflow. The same question could also be asked about going back and forth in Speed Grade.
Perhaps there is no real answer to this and the best option is to save effects and grading for after I have picture lock, but sometimes that's not entirely possible or convenient, etc.
Hopefully this makes some sense—It's a little hard to explain.
Thanks.

Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?

Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?

Hello. I can say that you have a quite strange „huge question”… It’s non-sense to stay connected with your car which is hundreds miles away. Unless…
I have a theory. You don’t want to controll your car, you want to controll somebody who is driving the car. Volvo XC 60 is a nice family car, usually used by married men between age of 35-45, probably with small children, so it’s very unlikely that you want to controll your teanage kid, mainly because probably even if you would give him/her to drive the car in the neighborhoud, I don’t think that he/she would be „several hundred miles away”… If your child is not young teneage anymore, and he/she has his/her own life, but you want to control him/her, that is sick… So I am convinced that you want to controll your husband who probably travelling often! Am I wright?
Isnt’t nice at all! Would you like if you would be monitorized in such way? I bet you don’t!
Anyway, iPhone is smart, you can use for many things, but come on, you really were thinking that there is such kind of application???
What could you do it's to put in the car a GPS survelling system, however I don't think that you could do it without your husband knowledge, otherwise he won't be able to start the engine...

A few questions about how ZPM works.

We have patch management (in ZCM 11.2.2), but honestly don't use it much. I have a few questions about how it works that might make me use it more, if I understand it more.
If I deploy a patch (or a set of patches), it creates a bundle for that deployment. That bundle seems to include actions that deploy the actual patch bundles (correct?). Do I have to recreate a new deployment bundle every time I want to push a new patch? i.e. If I push a Java update, and a month later, a new one comes out, do I build out a new bundle with the new patch in it, or do I modify the old one?
Once the patch is deployed, can I safely delete that deployment bundle, or should they just pile up?
Is there a way to "auto-approve" patches? Lets say I always want a group of machines to have the latest Adobe Flash Player patches. Can I set up ZPM to automatically cache and push the latest patches for a specific product, or do I have to manually remediate each patch? (I'm thinking of how MS's WSUS does "auto-approval")
I see most packages aren't cached in list, but occasionally, a patch is cached without me touching it. Why? Can I change what gets automatically cached?
Thanks for any help/answers you can provide.

For #1, (assuming you're not using baselines), you would check the new version of the patch (vulnerability) and do a new deployment.
#2 - once you're satisified that the machines are deployed (or the best to your ability) you can delete the DEPLOYMENT package. It doesn't delete the actual vulnerability bundles to my knowledge. That's why it's a good idea to name your bundle deployments with something meaningful, IMO (and maybe include a nice desription).
#3 - currently I don't believe this is possible. I know you can probably configure it to auto-download the patches, but not auto-deploy everything. Given the propensity for software to wreck other things (hello MS .NET patches), this is probably not a good idea. At least I'd never auto-download and auto-deploy any patches without testing them first, and certainly take my servers a little more cautiously than my workstations.
#4 - I think you can configure what's cached, but I could be wrong.
I know there's a lot of improvements coming in the pipeline, and it doesn't hurt to "vote" for your enhancements via the enhancement system (more work for Shaun--haha)

Question about controlling both handles or one at a time

I am using a trial version of Illustrator CS5 on Windows 7. I know how to select an anchor or its handle(s). But I do not know why I sometimes am controlling both of an anchors handles when I move one of them, or when I am moving only one at a time.
My question is: how to make it so I move both handles at the same time or how to make it so I am only moving one at a time?

yes you can use the direct select tool plus alt (option keys) or the convert anchor point tool to adjust only one handle at a time and you use the direct select tool without the alt (option key) to adjust both at the same time but be aware that once you adjust one of the anchor points independent of the other then you have made a corner (angle) anchor point and just using the direct select tool will not bring back the control over the two anchor points.
That means you have t use the convert anchor point to convert it back to a smooth anchor point, which will require you to adjust the path in a radial way that is both segments on both sides of that anchor point will move out of the position and follow a different form than it had before converting to a smooth anchor point.
The way around this is to go to the control Panel and use the button to convert to smooth anchor point which will give you a more desired result nd you can use the convert to corner anchor point button as well as yet another way of converting
So you should experiment so you understand the use of the direct select tool the pen tool the convert anchor point tool and the keyboard controls and the control panel.

Basic questions about the CM handling of Photoshop

I have some basic questions how Potoshop handles colour management. Most probably this has been discussed many times before, but frankly, the manual is pretty poorly written on this subject. I do understand the principle of colour management pretty well, but am not sure whether I understand what Photoshop is doing. So could somebody please comment whether my reasoning is correct or not.
Let's assume my monitor is calibrated and its profile loaded in OSX's monitor preference panel. Let's further assume I'm working strictly in RGB.
Is the following correct:
• When I open a picture which has an embedded profile, then Photoshop first calculates the "true" values from the embedded profile (whatever this means) and from this point the screen representation based on the profile which I defined in the system pref pane. So the screen representation remains always the same, regardless of the embedded profile (besides some possible conversion artefacts, especially on the edges of the colour space).
• The same holds true in the opposite direction, so when I work on that picture on screen, then no matter which RGB space I pick as my working space, the result will always be exactly the same (except those aforementioned artefacts).
• Hence it doesn't matter which RGB colour space I choose as my working space, it could be sRGB, Adobe RGB, "my own wild profile", whatever, the results are always the same. Of course the RGB values will differ, but this will be compensated by the embedded profile.
• Yet the theoretically best working space is the colour space of my monitor, because this minimizes possible artefacts.
• When I "convert" the picture from one profile into an other, then not only that new profile is assigned and embedded, but also the RGB values are recalculated accordingly, so that the result will remain the same. For example, I could first "convert" a picture from the camera space to my monitor space, then work on it, and finally "convert" it to sRGB before uploading it to a web site.
• When I "assign" a new profile, then a new profile is simply assigned and embedded but the RGB values are not adjusted. So the RGB values remain the same, but because a different profile is embedded, the picture will actually be changed. Since Photoshop will recalculate the screen representation based on that new profile (and the monitor profile), I will see this change on the screen. (This action doesn't make much sense, except maybe to simulate the possible outcome on a system which misinterprets the profile, e.g. assumes sRGB.)
• And finally, when I leave the picture untouched but change the monitor profile in the system pref pane, then of course the picture will not change, but its screen representation will change, because Photoshop uses that profile to calculate the screen representation. (This action makes even less sense, of course.)
Have I understood? Then I have two final questions:
• When I open a RGB file without any profile in it, what does Photoshop assume? How does it calculate the screen display? What does it do if I "convert" such a picture or "assign" a profile?
• If I select in the colour settings as working color space the monitor space, then the colour managment rule for RGB changes to "Colour management off" and can't be changed to a different value. I don't understand this.
Thanks for your patience.

• Yet the theoretically best working space is the colour space of my monitor, because this minimizes possible artefacts.
No.
(Edit: Any one screen usually has to be considered incidental, changing and transient and is not the target-medium, so it makes little sense to work based on its specific limitations.)
• When I open a RGB file without any profile in it, what does Photoshop assume? How does it calculate the screen display? What does it do if I "convert" such a picture or "assign" a profile?
If one opens an unprofiled file, Photoshop treats it as if it had the profile selected under RGB-Working-Space embedded and calculates display and conversion on that basis.
(Edit: And that’s the danger of unprofiled files – they would look different if someone edited them who used a different Working Space.)
Assigning such a file a profile is no different from assigning a profiled image a different profile – the RGB-values remain unchanged, the »key« for interpreting them changes and subsequently it will be displayed differently.

I have a question about how to contact HR with e-mail.

I read the rules about anything about HR is not allowed, but I also read to contact HR directly, so I won't ask anything further here. My question is, how? I searched for an e-mail, but all I have been able to find is a phone number I can't ring since I have no phone, just internet. Thank you.

Hello Dennis,
If you're a Best Buy or Geek Squad employee and do not have access to a telephone, then two alternative contact options exist for you: speak with your direct supervisor or use the My HR app within Employee Toolkit. If you are not a Best Buy employee, however, our HR support team will not be able to assist you -- these contact channels are for employee use only.
Thank you for your understanding, as well as for taking the time to post.

Question about how the Robocopy /B switch works...

I've been experimenting with robocopy recently, and most switches seem self explanatory for the most part; although I have a question about the /B switch.
The help says the following:
/B :: copy files in Backup mode.
I've checked multiple forums and websites to try and elaborate on this a little more, and from my understanding this switch enables backup mode that essentially gives the ability to change the acls of a file/folder when the account running robocopy does
not have sufficient privileges, to perform a successful copy.
My question is, when the acls are changed when using this "backup mode" switch, with the /copyall switch, will the file still retain the same user access that it originally had - or does it change all of the security settings?
I'm hoping it will somehow change the security settings, create a copy, and retain the same acls as the original - so users can still access necessary files.
Can someone please explain how this "backup mode" works?
Thanks in advance.

This is a very useful thread with a lot of hostility in it.
I have to agree with Jonathan and hazymat: there are few other forums that will discuss the exact function of /b switch, the TechNet article just says "copies in Backup Mode" (I have the article bookmarked), and when doing a google search, THIS page comes
up as the top result! Kinda difficult to tell people they should go search, when you are the exact destination of that search, isn't it? ;)
No offense to anybody working hard to help out here, but this is why sites like Stack Exchange will overshadow every traditional tech forum very soon. More concise question/answer format, more civil, and they actually encourage old questions developing new
answers! All q&a is cataloged for future reference. Their focus is on being a 'resource'.
The negativity here is unfortunate, you guys have great potential to be a very helpful resource for people. Who are you trying to be, the guys with all the answers, or the guys who say "get out of here, your answer isn't in here. Go search for it."?
Regardless, many thanks to jrv! for helping me with my robocopy batch SCRIPT which I just used to create an automated backup! Take care boys. And yes, I just bumped your old-old thread.
Unfortunately I think you miss the point. RoboCopy is an application. It is not a script. This is a scripting forum. Many people come here nd never read the forum guidelines and do not ask script related questions.
The /b switch is documented in RoboCopy help. Of course it assumes the reader is a trained Windows tech and knows what backup mode is. It is used by nearly all backup software when backing up a live system..
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Another one question about how to download applet (not using external tool)

Hi
i write tool for downloading applet on card. I use apdu trace from NXP eclipse plugin as source of information and i read also about cap-file format in Java Card Virtual Machine specification. And i have questions about data transferred by LOAD command.
As example - from apdu trace i see that transferred data are "C4820E33 DATA1 DATA2". Full length of transferred data is 0x2EE2.
C4 - OK, this is "Load File Data Block" tag as specified in Global Platform
820E33 - OK, this length of tag, =0x0E33
DATA1 - sequence of cap-file components: Header.cap, Directory.cap, Import.cap, Applet.cap, Class.cap, Method.cap, StaticField.cap, ConstantPool.cap, RefLocation.cap. Length of DATA1 is 0x0E33, i.e. DATA1 = 'C4'-tag value.
DATA2 - sequence of two cap-file components: Descriptor.cap and Debug.cap. These components are out of 'C4'-tag.
the questions mentioned above... here they are:
1. Global Platform does not define any data in LOAD command except 'E2' and 'C4' tag. Why DATA2 is transferred out of any tags?
2. Whether the sequence of cap-file components is important? i.e. Can i load Header.cap, Directory.cap etc. in other order than i see in DATA1 field from apdu-trace?
3. Debug.cap seems to be optional component. And what about Descriptor.cap component? Need i load it on card?

666 wrote:
1. Global Platform does not define any data in LOAD command except 'E2' and 'C4' tag. Why DATA2 is transferred out of any tags?Because the components are either optional or only required when communicating with a JCRE that has debugging capabilities. I assume you ran the project in JCOP Tools in debug mode against the simulator? If you did this against a real card it would fail as it does not have an instrumented JCRE capable of debugging code. You could try running the project as opposed to debugging to see the difference.
2. Whether the sequence of cap-file components is important? i.e. Can i load Header.cap, Directory.cap etc. in other order than i see in DATA1 field from apdu-trace?Yes it is. It is defined in the JCVM specification available from the Oracle website.
3. Debug.cap seems to be optional component. And what about Descriptor.cap component? Need i load it on card?No, it is optional and is not referenced by any other CAP file component.
Cheers,
Shane

Question on "How to Handle Inv management Scenarios in BW" docuemnt.

Hi all,
I read the document "How to Handle inventory management scenarios in BW" and I did not understood what a snapshot scenario is? Can anyone tell me what is the difference between snapshop and non-cumulative scenario's.
thanks,
Sabrina.

In a non-cumulative scenario the current stock of any day (or month) is not stored physically in the cube. Instead the stock values over time is calculated dynamically at query runtime by the BW OLAP engine, which basically derives the stock by summing up the periodic value changes (cumulative inflow and outflow of the non-cumulative key figure), which are stored in the cube (together with a so called stock marker used as the basis of the calclation).
In the snapshot scenario the current stock of any month is calculated in a snapshot ODS and then loaded to a cube. This means that the the stock value is physically stored in the cube in an ordinary cumulative key figure.
Since a non-cumulative cube store value changes and not the actual stock this means that performance might be bad if there are many value changes for each characteristic combination in a month (since the stock is calculated at runtime and many records must be processed to derive the stock). So in this case the snapshot scenario is better since no runtime calculations of the stock need to occur and since only one record, containing the actual stock value will be stored in each month for each characteristic combination having a stock value.
I think you would be better of with an example, but with this explanation in mind looking at the scenarios in the How to again might clarify things...

Christian

Question on how to handle United States 401-K catch up deduction

Just have a question here to see how other Oracle customers in the United States might be handling the 401-K catch up deduction. For 2009, an employee can deduct up to $16,500 in pay as 401-K deductions. That is the limit for this year as set by US law and IRS regulations. However for employees who are age 50 and over, for 2009 they can deduct an additional $5,500 for 401-K, making their total limit for the year $22,000. These limits can change from year to year. Since not all employees are eligible for this catch up amount, you cannot just set one limit amount for 401-K. The way we have attacked it is that we created two elements, one for 401-K and one for 401-K catchup. That mostly works pretty well. The issue we run into is that when an employee hits the limit on the main 401-K deduction, payroll does not automatically roll over and start the catch up deduction, in the same payroll run. In the next payroll run, the catch up deduction will kick in and the employee's paycheck is back to normal. But it is confusing for the employees who hit this situation (which is a small number) because their paycheck ends up a higher amount in the week that they hit the limit on the main 401-K deduction. How have other customers handled setting up the 401-K catch up deduction? Have you been able to get payroll to continue the normal weekly deduction for 401-K even when the employee hits the yearly limit for the regular 401-K deduction? If so, would be curious to hear how you have configured your system to do this. Thanks for your time and assistance.
John Dickey

Okay, after doing a lot of research and studying, I am beginning to see a way to make this work. We will have to find a way to test this out in a development environment. It looks like that if I set the catch up element entry percentage amount to NULL (blank), then set the Take Overlimit Catchup value to ALWAYS, then it may work the way that I want it to. If I am reading this right, at the start of the year only the base element percentage will have a calculation done and a deduction taken (let me emphasize that I am talking about a SEQUENTIAL value for the catch up processing field value). In the period that the employee hits the base limiit, the base element percentage will be fully calculated, with the amount in excess assigned to the CATCH UP ELEMENT. The trick here, that I was failing to realize at first, was that the take overlimit amounts always goes to the catchup element. The next week all of the base percentage amount is overflow and goes to the catch up element. You keep adding to the catch up element amount until you hit the catch up limit. There is NEVER a calculation of an catch up element amount, since the percentage is NULL in that element entry. The only element that ever gets an amount calculated for it is the base element. There is a document, document id 733997.1, that gives an explanation and example of how this Take Overlimit Catchup function works. Will see what happens whenever we can get around to testing this out.

Question about how not to insert the same row twice

hello everyone
i have two tables
table employee_list
employee_id
employee_name
employee_num
employee_date
and table employee_form
employee_id
employee_name
employee_num
employee_date
table employee_form should contain the exact data like employee_list .
if there are missing data i'm inserting it to table employee_form_miss(missing).
now i have a probelm cause the compair between the two table,take place
more then just one time.now if there are still missing data i don't want that to table employee_form_miss will insert the same data that already exist in this table.
i've been thinking about constraints table employee_form_miss(employee_id
employee_name
employee_num
employee_date).
but i think it will be a wird way to handle this because i will do an insert
and then what rollback? or delete?
please help me how to manage this
thanks in advance.

hello everyone
i have two tables
table employee_list
employee_id
employee_name
employee_num
employee_date
and table employee_form
employee_id
employee_name
employee_num
employee_date
i'm using an embedded sql in cobol program
DECLARE AA CURSOR FOR
select a.employee_name ,a.employee_num,a.employee_date
from employee_list a
WHERE a.employee_date = :employee-date
and NOT EXISTS
(select null from employee_form
WHERE employee_name =a.employee_name and
employee_num = a.employee_num and
employee_date = a.employee_date )
i'm doing open and fetch to the cursor.
and loop over the sqlerrd(3) result in order to insert them to the employee_form_miss table
insert into employee_form_miss (employee_name,employee_num,employee_date)
values (:employee-name,:employee-num,:employee-date)
the employee_id in table employee_form_miss there is a trigger which
Increment the sequence by 1 for each row that we insert.
so my question was that if i'm doing a constraint, so still i have to do
an insert and then if there is a constraint to do rollback or delete
from duplicate row. is there a better way to manage this ?
thank you

Some questions about how to change scenes

i have something like the following:
fxml (view/main/MainMenu.fxml):
<Scene fx:controller="view.main.CtrlMainMenu" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" stylesheets="view/main/main.css">
    <GridPane xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" alignment="center" id="backgorund" hgap="10" vgap="10">
        
        <VBox spacing="8" GridPane.columnIndex="0" GridPane.rowIndex="1">
            <Button text="Start" onAction="#Start"/>
            <Button text="Options" onAction="#Options"/>
            <Button text="Exit" onAction="#Exit"/>
        </VBox>
    </GridPane>
</Scene>main loop (cotroller/main.java):
public class main extends Application{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        launch(main.class, args);
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception{
        stage.setTitle(CtrlLanguage.get(CtrlLanguage.TITLE));
        CtrlMainMenu main = new CtrlMainMenu();
        Scene scene = main.main();          //don't know how to make Scene scene = (Scene)FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("MainMenu.fxml")); work on here since MainMenu.fxml is in view/main while the main class is in controller and ended up putting CtrlMainMenu in the view although is not very correct
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.setWidth(1080);
        stage.setHeight(720);
        stage.show();
}view controller (view/main/CtrlMainMenu.java):
public class CtrlMainMenu{
    //other buttons actions
    public Scene main() throws Exception{
        return (Scene)FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("MainMenu.fxml"));
    @FXML protected void Start(ActionEvent event){
    @FXML protected void Options(ActionEvent event){
    @FXML protected void Exit(ActionEvent event){
        System.exit(0);          //is there any other way to finish the program than using a system.exit?
}got few questions currently:
1. i'd like to be able to keep using CtrlMainMenu for other buttons while the ones that appear there go to the main (since will be reusing those classes from other scenes)
tried adding fx:controller on panes instead of the scene, but it doesnt work at all (it crashes) else directly in CtrlMainMenu change the scenes of the stage, but then, i have to send the stage to every controller i use? (or how do i know the stage of the scene?)
and in the case of options, i'd like after done, go back to the previous scene, is that possible? if so, how?
2.if i want to implement languages, how do i do to change the text? tried with setText() but depending on where do i put it, it crashes, so dont know where do i have to put it
3.im doing a game that may have different number of players, so, is there some way to erase/hide/add data from a gridpane with fxml?

1. ok, found the way to change scenes, with this way:
@FXML protected void Start(ActionEvent event) throws Exception{
     Node node = (Node)event.getSource();
     Stage stage = (Stage)node.getScene().getWindow();
     Scene scene = (Scene)FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("../view/main/MainMenu.fxml"));     //this is just an example, will change to go to another scene
     stage.setScene(scene);
     stage.show();
}but now i have another problem, when i click on the button the stage scene is changed, but the scene is transformed to a very small one at the top left (the size seems the same as when i dont put the set width/height on the stage when creating it), the stage size remains the same, and when i resize the window, it gets "repaired"
the options, i thought on using a pane over the current pane so this way instead of going back would be just removing that new pane, would that work well?
2. found about languages that is by using <Label text="%myText"/> and java.util.ResourceBundle but don't know how to use it, can someone provide me an example, please?
3. still haven't looked on it...

Posting block Question in How to handle inventory management scenarios

Hi all - I have a question in document
<b>"How to...Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW"</b>
can anyone please tell me what a posting block is in this document...
also I did not understood what a Validity table is?
thanks,
Sabrina.

Hi Sabrina!
A 'posting block' period is something that now you are facing in inventory management, but you have to consider it in ALL logistic cockpit flows (what you can see in LBWE).
This requirement can be easily explained in this way: as you know, to fill a setup table you have to activate the extract structure of the datasource for which you want to run the setup job (otherwise the system says that no active extract structure exists, do you remember ?); but, by doing so with the posting operations open (in other words, users can create new document or change the existing ones), you run the risk that these records are automatically included in the extraction queue (or in SM13 if you are using unserialized method) AND also collected in setup table ! And you will have the same records with the initial load (from setup table) and then the same from delta load (from the queue): a nice data duplication.
To avoid this situation, a "posting block" (or a "free-posting period" or a "downtime") is requested. No one can post new document during your setup job...
Hope now is clearer...
Bye,
Roberto
