Cells Appearing Black in Report Designer

Hi Guys,
I have an issue here!
When I open a report in Report Designer, all cells are coming with black background. When I click on each cell, then I am able to see the cell content with original formatting. I have checked with all cell format settings, all is fine. But, this is happening when I upgraded my GUI to 710
Appreciate your help in this regard.
Thanks,
Ravi

REPORT DESIGNER FORMAT CATALOG BACKGOUND IS BLACK

REPORT DESIGNER FORMAT CATALOG AND CELLS BACKGOUND ARE BLACK IN COLOUR, DIFFICULT TO FIND CELL ELEMENTS
ANY SOLUTION TO THIS .
THANKS,
NAGESH

Hello,
Solution for that is to install the newest availlable Support Package for GUI. I assume that you have GUI version 7.10 and BI SP probably < 3. Please install SP 3 for BI and this issue should be solved.

Design view background appears black in CC

I have a site in which the pages are built from templates. When I look at any page in Live view, it appears correctly with a white background. However, in Design view the background is black. The text is appearing in the correct colour (blue), and images are ok. The site also appears correctly online.
I have tried clearing my cache, to no avail. In fact, the black background also manifests itself on my laptop.
I don't remember this happening in CS6.
Any ideas?

This is the way the page appears in split/design view. The black is supposed to be transparent and appears white in the live site, and the bluish area is the currently selected div, which returns to black when deselected. The white areas which show are images with white backgrounds.

Dreamweaver CS5 design view background is black, how can I stop this?

Hey everybody! I have a problem with Dreamweaver CS5's design view only showing a black background. I can create a brand new html document either as a standalone file or as part of a site and it will show a completely black background wheather it's saved or not. This also is a problem with pages that I have already created and with pages created with a Dreamweaver pre-installed template. I can't see anything unless it's not black. It is not affected by background colors either, in fact background colors don't show on anything I make; it's all black! The strange fact about this is that any given page will display just fine in Live View or in any web browser. Thanks in advance, I really need the help on this because I need to use the design view to position elements (which is a lot easier to do than guessing what would look best in code view).

Have you sorted this problem?
I have changes from Dreamweaver CS5 to CC and it appears all my existing files have a black background in design mode but when I switch to "live" view it looks like it should and does on the net.
New files tend to look as they should. Although this change to CC is very recent. It seems like a configuration / preference issue that I can't find an answer for.
I have a work around at the moment.
Select view in menu -> visual aids -> CSS layout backgrounds
This makes all the CSS areas different colours, but you can see black text and items.
Selecting "LIVE" allows you to see what it is actually like.

Too small guide letters and black background on guide.

Thank you LakeTahoe, you will be added to my report
Rick. I do plan on doing my own research and looking up users on other threads about this topic.
Let me clarify my request: If you guys know anyone who has the same feelings towards font size on their X1 guide please let me know. I am working with an Accessibility Supervisor who wants to compile this report. No other research is required other than getting in touch with me.
Please keep in mind this issue might not be fixed by dinnertime, but we need to present a solid report to our engineers in order to foster change. I appreciate your patience.

That choice is up to the individual but I am a 37 year veteran of the AV field. I am a CEDIA trained and certified home theater system designer and project supervisor. I am highly respected in my field. I might just know a thing or two about this. Apparently everything works perfectly for him. Yes it does and I am quite happy about that. He's also appointed himself the keeper somebody's gotta do it... LOL of these forums and is quick to scold anyone who dares to offer a critique of the X1 platform if it has been previously posted. If I "scold" anyone it is because they complained before they researched the topic or actually took the time to learn the product. I am not fond of the "complain first, learn second" philosophy. 90% of the questions or concerns posted in this forum can be solved by a 30 second Google search. Be assured there are those of us who have real issues with the X1 platform, Nobody has offer more help in this forum then I have. The "numbers" speak for themselves. That being said, there are many other helpful people in this forum who I have the utmost respect for and they know who they are. who don't read every post and who actually believe the more an issue is reported, whether in a previous thread or a new one, some action may be taken by Comcast. Now that may be a naive view based on the number of issues that have not been fixed, addressed or at least acknowledged by Comcast, but we can hope that someone there is listening. Roughly two months ago, I exchanged emails with a Comcast employee who hinted people that NEEDED to pay attention to this forum might not be... I was a bit disappointed.
I stand everything I have said about guide font size and legibility. I think it is wonderful in it's current form. But I have always said I support the ability to adjust guide size which the original X1 guide offered (but very few people used). If Comcast restored the ability to adjust guide font size, I would be all for it. I would set it smaller on at least one of my TVs.

Error message in Report designer "Activate Default Theme: 0TRADESHOW"

How do I design a background in AE then link it to my video in Premiere CS6?

Please help! I've been agonizing over this for days; watching videos on YouTube, but can't find the answer. I've done a video for YouTube and it's just me talking, BUT, I shot it in front of a curtain behind me that I don't like. I want to replace that curtain with a background I've learned how to create in AE - it's preset.
Previously, I learned to use the Rotobrush and I thought that was the answer to my problem, but it just extracts me and leaves a black background, and I don't want that. Now that I know how to create the background in AE, I still don't know how to put that background onto the video that I have done. I know it is very simple if you know how to do it, but I don't know how to do it. I've spent way more time on this than I should, with no results! Please help. Thanks.

You said:

That is wrong, as Mylenium said, you just did not have transparency grid turned on in your Composition Panel so you could not see the transparency. You are also stating that the rooted layer is the background. This is incorrect. The rooted layer is the foreground. You simply put a background layer below it just as you would in any app that uses layers like Photoshop or Illustrator or . . .
If you want to export a movie that maintains a transparent background then you simply choose the Lossless With Alpha preset inside the Output Module and accept the default settings or you take the time to learn about Rendering, Alpha Channels and codecs by typing "rendering" or "Rendering transparent" in the Search Help field at the top right corner of AE and you study up. None of this stuff is hard, but the knowledge will not automatically pour into your head and the options are too many to achieve success by just poking around.
One more thing. There is no media player (Quick Time, Windows Media Player, etc.) that will show you a transparent background in your video. NONE. The only time transparency shows up is in an app designed to use alpha channels like After Effects or Premiere Pro.
Study up here: Adobe - Search: rendering%20transparent

GUI_* WS_* Function In Background, CSV Upload
GUI_* and WS_* function modules do not work in background
When scheduling a job in the background the appropriate statement to read in your file is OPEN DATASET, and the file must be on the file system that the SAP server can see.
At anytime, a user can switch of the Personal Computers even though the job is still running in the background. Therefore GUI_* and WS_* function modules are not designed to work in that way, as they need to access your personal computer file.
To choose the correct download method to used, you can check the value of SY-BATCH in your code,
if it is 'X' use OPEN DATASET and if it is ' ' use WS_UPLOAD.
*-- Open dataset for reading
DATA:
dsn(20) VALUE '/usr/test.dat',
rec(80).
OPEN DATASET dsn FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
DO.
    READ DATASET dsn INTO rec.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      EXIT.
    ELSE.
      WRITE / rec.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET dsn.
*-- Open dataset for writing
DATA rec(80).
OPEN DATASET dsn FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
TRANSFER rec TO '/usr/test.dat'.

What is the difference when we use upload, ws_upload, gui_upload function modules?
UPLOAD, WS_UPLOAD, GUI_UPLOAD, are used in BDC concepts. ie., Batch Data Communication.
Batch Data Conversion is a concept where user can transfer the Data from non SAP to SAP R/3. So , in these various Function Modules are used.
UPLOAD--- upload a file to the presentation server (PC)
WS_UPLOAD----    Load Files from the Presentation Server to Internal ABAP Tables.
WS means Work Station.
This is used upto SAP 4.6 version.
GUI_UPLOAD-------    Replaces WS_UPLOAD. Upoad file from presentation server to the app server. From 4.7 SAP version it is replaced.

How to convert Report Model to Report Designer DataSet

To all,
I have a two part question. One is I am experiencing the error at the end of this question when migrating SQL Server 2005 SSRS Native Reports, the report uses a Report Model, to SQL Server 2008 SSRS Native. I bring the Report and Report Model to SQL Server 2008 SSRS and get the error at the end of the question below. Background and the 2nd question are below.
I have a bunch of Report Builder based Reports. I need to convert them to VS BIDS based Report Designer Reports with Shared Datasources and MDX based DataSets.
How can I grab the MDX from the Report Builder Report Model so I can put it into the Report Designer DataSet Query Definition?
What is the easiest way to make this migration between these Report development environments.
I am able to open the Report.RDL file in VS BIDS and can see the entire UI layer. The DataSet I see here is the one that is related to the error at the end of the question. The RD/DataSet holds:

I have created a Shared Datasource that points the the correct Analysis Services cubes that the original Report Model pointed at.
However, I get this error when running the report:
An error occurred during client rendering.
An error has occurred during report processing.
Semantic query compilation failed: e EmptySemanticQuery The SemanticQuery does not contain any Groupings or MeasureGroups. SemanticQuery must contain at least one of these elements. (SemanticQuery '').

Actually the error above is from running the report on SSRS 2008 Native. Does anyone know why I get this error and how it may be resolved.
Then I try to bring the report into BIDS RD and create a SDS and DataSet. The Semantic Query above is from the RD DataSet Query window.
I get the following error when running the report in BIDS RD:
An error occured during local processing.
An error has occured during report processing.
Query execution failed for dataset 'dataSet'.
The SemanticQuery element at line 7, column 351 (namespace http://schema.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/10semanticmodeling) cannot appear under Envelope/Body/Execute/Command.
So I have two errors with two scenarios. I'd like to know how to resolve one of them.
I'd also like to know how to get the MDX from the RB/RM report so I can put it into the VS BIDS Version and get that to work properly.
Thanks,
Eric

Black background in Acrobat 9?

Hi, I've just tested the Acrobat 9 _Reader_ The black background (compared to the gray one in Acrobat 9) is _horrible_. (Much too contrast compared to the white sheet.)
Is this black also in Acrobat 9? Is in Acrobat 9 any chance to change it?
Thanks!

Just installed 9.0, having this same problem with the horrible black background.
Why haven't they included such a siple option as changing the background color.
I noticed that it is possible to change it in fullscreen mode, which i hardly ever use, as graphic designer i ike to see and check my documents at 100% size.

Black background in a pivot table

Hiiiii, I have a page in sharepoint that contains tables and charts from Excel and it was working perfectly.One of a sudden some parts of this page gives me black background in the pivot table or the charts or the tables that have BI tools.. can u plz helped me 2 solve this weird issue. Regards

I have had a very difficult time with PivotTable Report formatting, holding onto the formatting that has been set.. The only way I was able to achieve the formatting necessary for one client was to build the pivot report in one location and reference it with the appropriate formatting from another.... Not very fun...

9iDS Release 2 Report Designer Crashes

I have had numerous crashes over the past few weeks using this tool. As a background, I now have about 25 reports. Sometimes, I go into each one and "tweak" the report to change parameter sizes, layout, footer, etc. I "hand" edit some of these because I never seem to be able to re-load the template without some error. I don't know the tool very well, but, it's got a lot of great features. If it didn't crash or hang, numerous times, it would be great. One morning, recently, I was trying to update all the reports (22 of them) and print a sample page for my customer. I was ensuring the logo was the right one, the page footer was right, etc. I recieved no less than 10 crashes, forcing a restart of the tool each time. Needless to say, I wasted a lot of time doing that and wasn't able to go through all 22 reports I am running under Windows 2000 SP2 (and also under Windows XP Pro, SP1). This is both before and after applying 9.0.2.0.4 patch. Note, now that I know how to create templates, the logo, footer, etc issues are really not the problem, rather the crashes.
Sorry for the long list here in one message, but it seems to be large pattern and can be frustrating at times.
Template "Reapplication" issues:
1) Reapplying self-made template after only changing font and font size in template to make it smaller: I get a "No column is selected in group 'my group name'. Each report produces a different result, but that's the error message -- actually, I just tested this again. I don't even have to try to open re-apply the template specifically. I open the report wizard and click finish and get this, no matter what I do in the wizard. Is that the only way to reapply the template (especially, since I only want to get the font changes and color changes).
2) Clicking OK to the above error OFTEN (most of the time), produces "Instruction at 0x64e39295 referenced memory at 0x8b501045. The memory could not be read. In some cases, this happens after I select cancel in the reports wizard, when I received the error #1 above.
Because I don't understand problem #1 very well and because I frequently receive error #2, I end up opening the "old" report, copying the SQL query, closing the "old" report and generating a new report, using the template and then re-sizing the columns of the report. If someone could help with #1, that would be most helpful. That may or may not prevent the errors below. Most of my reports are "paper and web layout" and "group left" with 2 or 3 levels of groups, if that makes a difference. Also, all of my queries have lexical parameter "where_clause", allowing dynamic augmenting of where_clause.
3) The pattern of operations is: open old report, Grab SQL, close old report, generate new report via reports wizard, make report look right (fix column widths, make count columns right justified and displayed with "0,0" formatting, insert bookmarks, update user_parameter where_clause (see below) to be 4,000 characters). Save as and pick old name, when complete, save report, close report and open next report. I get through 2, 3 or 4 reports and then I get a crash. There are a two errors that I consistently see:
a) During open of report: XML Parser failure, then the crash
b) Unable to load string resource, then crash.
c) During close of report, The instruction at 0x64af3d4f referenced memory at 0x00001f55. The memory could not be read.
4) the template has user parameter defined "where_clause" 4,000 characters. I thought the template would supply that, but every time the reports wizard takes my query with the &where_clause, it resets the parameter size to 40 characters. I think that's because I'm seeing the message: Note: the query Q_1 has created the lexical parameter(s) 'where_clause', and I think that's overriding my template because at this point in the wizard I haven't even picked my template.
5) Alt-tabbing away from Reports back and forth (while creating this message, in fact), I have received the following twice while in reports wizard, after getting the exact text of the lexical parameter dialog mentioned above. The error: "The instruction 0x65134268 referenced memory at 0x00000044. The memory could not be read.
I hope these issues will be resolved in the near future. This is a great reporting tool, but with these kinds of errors, it's frustrating to use.
Regards,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Issue #1 occurs because of the report wizard. When you need to make a change, not the entire report, you should not use the wizard, use the Layout editor instead, in your case you can open the report design in the layout editor to change the font size/color of the fields then run the report and save it.
The wizard, when invoked, will start the whole new report design and expect new selections for the design, in your case, it expects you to select the fields to be displayed in the group(s) again, that is why you got the error, and I belive this error is the cause to other errors. You can test to see in the wizard, after you apply the new template don't click Finish yet, but go to the Group and Field tabs you will see . Even after you select the fields for the group when you run you will see that the report has new layout which looks completely different from the previous layout.
Good luck.

Problem: Light color shadow on top of black background when printing

Using InDesign CS3, PC.
I have a book cover design that looks perfect on screen. There is a section with a black background and colored letters on top of it. Also on top of this black background is an image of a dinosaur (made in illustrator CS3). The image was placed into the InDesign file and does not have any color to the background. But when it is printed (Xerox Phaser), there is a colored shadow where the image overlaps the black background section.
There are also colored areas over other black background sections where drop shadows (35%) occur on top of the black background.
Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have never dealt with 100% black in my designs before and I must be doing something wrong.
Again, on the screen you cannot see any of these colored areas on top of the black background. It's only when I print that they show up.
Thank you,
Cathy

Black background with white ink

Hi Everyone,
I'm pretty new at designing and one of my friends requested for me to do a business card. I have a few problems with it: 1) the black background is not showing up when I click preview or save as .pdf file. How do I make sure the black background will show? 2) the white ink needs to be done on the black background (black business cards with white text). I want to make sure I cover all my steps so the printing turns out great.
Thank You for your help,
Aleksandra

You need to specify what printing method you are preparing for. For offset printing, you usuallly don't print the white; you print the black around the white. But nowadays, business cards are done in a variety of printing methods, including for example, screen printing onto plastic cards. Screen printing can print opaque white ink onto a colored substrate. "Gold" could mean anything from a Pantone metallic spot color (offset) to gold foil (letterpress) to an opaque screen ink (screen printing).
If you don't know, just forget the background, prepare the white elements as solid black (100%K, not a so-called "rich black"), and communicate the printing color to the printer.
