Reports preview or to file not working

Hi all,
we have code to call reports from forms which works without a problem on one of our servers (A)
web.show_document(rp2rroVirtualDir
||rp2rroReportsInterface
||'/getjobid'
||rp2rro_jobidPartial
||'?server='
||rp2rroReportServer,'_blank'); on another server (B) rather than showing the PDF file, the browser shows a file save dialog box with filename :
getjobidx, eg : getjobid78
(when we save this file and add .pdf it opens with adobe)
when we look in the reports queue for server A and click a report, the pdf opens
in server B it again shows a file save dialog screen
what are we missing ?

@Inol :
http://esddev115:9002/reports/rwservlet/getjobid2289?server=reportsserver_preview
@HamidHelal :
yes
also when we look in the reports queue on a client and click on a finished report the same thing happens
maybe we have to add mime type for pdf on the server ?
but where do we do that (web.xml perhaps, but which one, there are many)
and how : mime-mapping ? like so :
<mime-mapping>
<extension>pdf</extension>
<mime-type>application/pdf</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>Kr

Mac Finder previews for .AI files not working

[I'm using fully updated OS X 10.8.5, using Illustrator CS6 16.0.4]
In the Finder, all my .AI files show up only as a generic AI file icon. Trying to Preview the files in the Finder also only show the generic icon.
I've tracked down the QuickLook Generator locations, and found that I've got a generator named "illust.qlgenerator". But when I run in the Terminal.app this command: "qlmanage -t <ai file>" tells me this:
[WARNING] Plug-in at file://localhost/Library/QuickLook/illust.qlgenerator/ is 32bit
[ERROR] Can't load plug-in at file://localhost/Library/QuickLook/illust.qlgenerator/: The bundle “PDF” couldn’t be loaded because it doesn’t contain a version for the current architecture.
That Quick Look Generator is only 32-bit, which seems to be causing problems.
When I moved it to a different folder to disable it, then the native PDF.qlgenerator takes over, and puts the obnoxious grid behind the previews.
Problems with the OS X PDF QuickLook generator:
Obnoxious grid behind the actual content instead of resizing to maximize the thumbnail
Native .AI files saved without PDF compatibility show no preview, just "This is an AI file without PDF content"
To get the preview, saving with PDF compatibility would double the file size. Double.
And I still get the grid.
Is there a native Illustrator QuickLook Generator? I don't want to uninstall and reinstall CS6 just to find there's no difference. Does CS6 install any better previews than I'm getting? Another Mac user with the same setup shows beautiful full-color previews of the same AI sample files without requiring PDF compatibility or the obnoxious grid.
Thanks
Darryl Z

Hi Monika,
Unfortunately, I neglected to mention that because I work with very large illustrations with many layers, paths and nested symbols the PDF preview is not very fast.
I prefer not to save a complete pdf inside my AI files because it multiplies the file size which I find slows the cloud synchronisation of the very large files I work on.
A quick raster preview would be the most performant option, lazy loading any available pdf or ai render if the item was enlarged.
Thanks,
Luke

Preview and Mac Mail not working after upgraded to 10.4.11

Hello,
I just upgraded to 10.4 everything works fine, after I upgraded to 10.4.11, I find funny noice on my hard drive and preview, mac mail is not working. Trashing the preference is not working.
Urgent help please.
Thank you
Benny

There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_4_11_Combo_Update__PPC
And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.4.11 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Preview resize calculation is not working

10.10.2
The resize calculation isn't working right in Preview as shown in the photos, I changed from a random option back to percent in both examples, I need it to tell me the size reduction in pixels after shrinking by the desired percentage.
Anyone else seeing this? (filed bug report already)

If it's not working from FDMEE but is working when triggered from HFM then I'd suggest starting in HFM and working back from there. You've not mentioned what it says in the FDMEE logs as SH asked but if there are no clues in the FDMEE logs then I'd say to check the HFM HsvEventLog.log to check for signs of problems.

I am creating webpages with frontpage and trying to make collapsible lists. The lists collapse and work correctly in "preview" mode, but do not work when accessed through firefox or explorer 8. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Welcome to the 'wonderful' world of HTML5 e-learning.
In my view, from the issues I am seeing everywhere, HTML5 output from rapid e-learning tools such as Captivate is not ready for the kind of mobile device e-learning you want to develop.
Sorry to be pessimistic, but you may need to consider going back to the drawing board and coding it from the ground up.

File - Export from Preview, iPhoto etc does not work

Lately, normal operations from OSX-programs are not working as expected on my MacBook Air mid-2013 running OSX 10.8.5. I can reproduce in PreView and iPhoto that operations like File, Export and File, Duplicate do not work - there is just no response.

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Creation of previews/thumbnails of PSD files not working in v3.0.1

I'm using Aperture 3.0.1, PS 4 to edit photographs.
My workflow will be the usual, Photo > Edit with Adobe PS, in my Aperture browser thumbnails/previews will be created for the PS file.
When I save my work in PS, the thumbnails and previews in Aperture are not being updated properly, show horizontal magenta/cyan lines, noise, clearly some of the layers are not being processed, some layers are not being resized to the right preview format, it's a complete mess.
I tried to delete/update previews, no difference.
It's an absolute shame, this worked perfectly in Aperture 2.1 and is absolutely necessary in my workflow. I'm seriously thinking to go back to 2.1.
Anyone with suggestions to get this working? Thanks

Having some similar problems and unfortunately some different ones as well...
I would love to know any tips you might have in identifying the "faulty" PSD files that Aperture 3 cannot deal with or more like the the PSD files that FAULTY Aperture cannot deal with (they worked fine in 2.1.4, Preview, iPhoto, etc).
I ask because the problem I have is that as soon as I hit one file that never finishes generating a thumbnail for, then I am done since everything else just queues up behind it and I can't diagnose anything else. As I said in an earlier post, HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO INCLUDE USEFUL DIAGNOSTIC INFO IN THE "ACTIVITY WINDOW", so that we could tell which images are being "processed" (or more importantly not being processed).

Search in saved preview .pdf files not working any more

When I download a .pdf file from the internet and open it in preview, the search command works ok. When this same file is saved to disk and opened again, search is not working any more. Is this a bug, or my fault. Regards Rolf

Hi,
I hope this helps...
A while back we have more than one browser running on our PC (IE, Firefox, Chrome) and we messed by how Acrobat views documents over the web.
I think that this has some relevance here, as around this time LC also started falling over previewing forms.
Now if we open LC and Acrobat is not running, the "Preview PDF" is not present or accessible. So now we fire up Acrobat before we open a form in LC Designer and the preview tab is there and functioning.
Not much of a workaround; but I am hoping that someone will have a better one!!!
Good luck,
Niall

Generate to File not working

Hai,
we are calling the report using the command line method not
run_product.for these reports 'Generate to File' menu is not working.It shows
an error like Umimplemented Error (rep-0999).There is one default printer attached to m/c. and the operation system is winows nt.This is working when running the report in report builder.it is not working when called through menu.Pls help me to solve this problem.
dilip

Hi,
I am not sure what do you want to convey here - "It is working with Reports builder and not working with menu". From Report builder, only way to generate the otput to file is to go through menu, there are no other shortcut or toolbar icon present. Do you want to say, it works when you run to previewer but is failing when you generate to a file. To give you a hint:
1. Does the problem exist with only this report or with all the reports?
2. If the problem is with all the reports, then there is a setup problem.
3. Try running PRINTER DRIVER TEST against your printer, to check it is ok?
4. Check that the login under which you are trying to run the report, has the priviledge to print with this default printer.
5. Try changing the printer driver?
If this does not solve the problem, please contact Oracle support to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Rohit

Button of report in WEB UI Client not working.

Dear experts!
I program a report in SAP GUI. Display data by ALV grid using function module. Then, i create a button, when i click this button, program will call a function module to export data to excel. I fix the path to save file excel is on my local computer. I test in SAP GUI, these functions run very good. I create logical link to bring this report to WEB UI. But after i run this report, i click button to export data to excel, system has not any message and i follow the path i have fixed about, but i do not find the file excel.
Anyone can explain and resolve this problem with me?
Thanks a lot!
Longndtb.

Hi,
GUI methods for file handling do not work in the web session. The browser by itself has no access to the user's PC and this is on purpose for security reasons. You have options. You can create a SICF node to generate the report as a downloadable content or use activex objects to directly write files in user's PC or run a SAP GUI report in a background session.

BIP Report in Siebel mobile is not working in languages other than English

Hi,
We have upgraded our Siebel from 7.8 to Siebel 8.1 and in that we have moved from Actuate to BIP Reports. We have created a customized report in which we have put in the Filters on '.rtf' file to show a particular set of data. This report is deployed for 3 languages : English (ENU), Portuguese (PTB) and Spanish (ESN).After deploying this report, on Web application, it is working fine for all the languages but we are facing an issue on mobile client, the report is only working fine in ENU but for other languages(PTB & ESN) it is failing (means the filter which we put on '.rtf' is not working on other languages).
Is anybody face this issue and what will be the solution for this?

Hi
I think you need to first translate the smartform into other languages. Before translation, it wont work.
Steps for translation:
1. goto Transaction SE63
2. in R3 Enterprise select form menu
Translation - ABAP Objects - Other long texts
3. select FS - SSF-Smart Form
4. Object Name: choose your smart form
5. select target language
6. press edit

Edge.oam animation file not working in Muse

Anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I've created an edge animation, published an .oam file and placed it on a Muse wepage (no prob).
Preview in Muse works beautifully.
Preview in browser from Muse works beautifully.
Export Muse to HTML and Edge animation not displaying – looked at the code, shows an iframe with link to edge html, but just not working.
...help please

Someone please help me with this... I dont understand where the src path should point to when updated? Can you give an example path. I am not using edge animate but instead HYPE 3 which is relatively the same thing, exports html animations as an OAM or html file. When I use the OAM in muse it previews fine in browser and in Muse. But when I publish it shows a blank box. I looked at the code and see the iframe pointing to assets/example/example.html.
I've tried exporting the Muse file as HTML after I've placed the OAM widget in Muse.. Then I navigate to the assets file and open the HTML file and try and locate the iframe code line but it does NOT exist. But if i Publish the site with Muse and OAM widget and use the developers tools I can see the iframe. After that I've tried going through filezilla to the assets folder and opening the HTML file but still NO iframe code line exists. I only find src for .js code.
PLEASE HELP... would really like to integrate these animations into my projects.
Thanks

Report with JDBC connection does not work when they includes CommandTable

I am trying to render using the new version of Crystal report java component - CRJ a report contains Data base Fileds of type Command Table (Row Set) which seems to be not working.
when i use the previes version of crystal SDK it works fine.
after deugging the Sample CrystalHelper.java file which contains the method .changeDatasource()
i found that the DataBaseController.setLocation() method changes the CommandTable class to Table when using it on CommandTable instance and as result all the fields defined into that CommandTable were disappear.

That appears to be a known issue: Eclipse JRC: To change the JDBC connection at run time

Crystal Report (visual studio 2005)-Hyperlink not working on exported PDF

I have created a crystal report by using VS 2005, there are some hyperlinks inside the report.
After i exported the report to PDF, I check the PDF file, none of the link contains inside the PDF file.
It seems a bug, i google this issue, some people can export to RTF first and then in RTF save as PDF, then the link should be there. I tried it, it works, but it totally mess up my report layout.
Please advise,
Tommy

Typing the terms "pdf export hyperlink crystal" in the search box at the top right corner of this page comes up with the following KB (5th hit):

"Messed" up report export to RTF does not tell me much either. A link to a screenshot will be great.
Also, what CR Service Pack are you on?
