Pls help!!!
Thanks in advance,

Hi Pham,
I am not sure whether this will help or not, but can you check whether the server service is running or not?
Go to services.msc in the run command and start the service named server if it is in stopped state.

Check syntax of process chain get three variants with yellow color

When I click the "Checking View" picture icon to check the syntax of process chain, find there are three variants with yellow color. All the displaying msgs of the three yellow color variants says:
There must be a type "Read PSA and Update Data Target" process behind process "Execute InfoPackage" var.ZPAK_3WN4PJ43QNW7DC2Z3ZV532ZFF in the chain
What does this mean? Do we have to take care of the three yellow color errors?
Thanks

Hi Kevin,
Sometimes you need to instruct process chains explicitly. Even though you have it mentione din your InfoPackage, still it needs another process (and variant) to load from the PSA to the data target. In the RSPC screen where all the processes are listed on the left hand side, under Load Processes and Post Processing, you will find Read PSA and Update Data Target as the second process.
Hope this helps...

Why my mails in inbox are marked with yellow color?

hello to all,
if someone knows why is this happening, pleas help.
All the rest is working great, the only problem is the color of my new mails in the mail list is yellow.
It started to mark it with that color a month ago, all the other mails are as normal ( no color)
Tony,

maybe resetting the colour to another one and then revert back to original if it works...
Hope this helps.

ALV - How to hide yellow color in first cell

Hello ALV experts!
I am using 7 ALV layouts in one screen with one main screen and 6 small layouts with nine cells each. My objective is to enter data data in main ALV which updates the cells in the remaining ALV layouts.
In all the six ALV alyouts, I am getting the first cell with yellow color (highlighted) which makes screen look awkward. Do you have any idea how to hide that color. ALso I would apprecaite if any of you know how to make the column fixed (when you pull the vertcal line between columns, it should not move).
I am using OOPS ALV grid control.
thanks!
Senthil

Anybody have any experience working with full color Yellow Pages ads?

I designed a full color ad for our business in InDesign for the yellow pages. I send them a PDF and they send a proof back with a bunch of stuff screwed up. I talked to our rep and she sent me a PDF showing all the file requirements. First off, they want me to be using Illustrator to build the ad. I don't use Illustrator for typesetting. Also, they do not accept PDF files, only EPS files from Illustrator.
So.. I'm trying to find a workaround. They want all fonts converted to outlines.. so I'm in InDesign doing that, but a lot of my text has fairly thick strokes on it and when I convert that text to outlines, it completely screws up the text because of the stroke. Any idea how to get around that??

I had the same problem with NO PDF when placing our yellow page ad (and yes, we get more responses of "we found you in the yellow pages" than any of our online ads so we keep up with it).
I ended up designing in ID, exporting EPS, opening in Illy and resaving as the illustrator eps version they required.
Your font out-line problem is hard to work around, and why I try not to use strokes on text that will be converted to paths. The work around is to break the compound path, use pathfinder to punch the appropriate "holes" back where the belong in the type (technical word is escaping me, it's the end of the day)and then re-apply the path. The wonkiness happens because when you convert-to-path the interior shapes of the font become separate, and therefore an outlines applied to the outside, for example, is now on the wrong side in context of the font shape.
I'm explaining that very poorly. Hopefully you catch my meaning.

HT2513 my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple. no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple. Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac". Any ideas?

my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple. no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple. Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac". Any ideas on how to correct this? This seems like a trivial error, but it's super annoying.

I called Apple and they said that they know about this problem. It's a problem with iCloud which their Engineers know about. (there was a new iCloud release, hence...) No ETA for a fix yet. I asked that this be escalated so Engineering doesn't put it at the bottom of their fix list. I talked to a Senior Advisor and mentioned to them to have QA check their regression tests as this has happened before to me (the problem just didn't take this long to resolve). I like to use green too for important stuff, so I've resorted to creating a new calendar using the normal calendar green for events going forward. They could have picked another color besides green to have this problem with and I wouldn't have been so upset. ;-)

Dispatcher is in Yellow color after Kernel Upgrade.

Hello Experts,
I have Problem with the Dispatcher ie,. after Upgrading Kernel in ECC6.0 the Dispatcher is in Yellow color and there is no Information about Dialog Workprocess. Could any one Please help me with the Good solution to Fix this Problem and Make the Dispatcher from Yellow to Green.
Regards,
Pavan.

If you have upgraded the kernel and restart the system, the first thing what is happening is, that the executables are replicated from the stage directory (..\sys\exe\uc\ntamd64) to the executable directory of the instance (...\DVEBMGS00\exe).
The replication is initiated with the old service executable (sapstartsrv.exe), the kerne starting after the replication is the new one.
Now it happened that the shared memory segments containing the internal ABAP Server information (kind of work processes, queue information....) is created by the new kernel and will be red with the old Service executable (which provides this information to MMC). If the size or structure of the shared memory segment has changed between the two versions the service can't interpret the internal information and therefor the color of the instance keeps yellow, when looking at the status immediately..
Within 5 Minutes after the system was started with a new kernel the service will restart itself without restarting the system. After this restart the color should automatically switch to green (because the service running has the same version than disp+work)..
regards
Peter

Not able to color different rows with different colors in a column of table

Hi,
I am trying to to display different rows with different colors in a column of the table based on some decode condition.
I have gone through the following threads :
Can we colour the rows in the column of a table
Changing Color of a value in a column
This is what i have done :
1.Added the following code to custom.xss(changed the name to Custom.xss as suggested in one of the above threads) --- in path ---- jdev\myhtml\OA_HTML\cabo\styles
<style selector=".1">
<includeStyle name="DefaultFontFamily"/>
<property name="font-size">11pt</property>
<property name="font-weight">Bolder</property>
<property name="color">#008000</property>
<property name="text-indent">3px</property>
</style>
<style selector=".2">
<includeStyle name="DefaultFontFamily"/>
<property name="font-size">11pt</property>
<property name="font-weight">Bolder</property>
<property name="color">#FFFF00</property>
<property name="text-indent">3px</property>
</style>
2. Sql query of the VO is :
select comments,role ,decode(role,'REQUESTER','1','2') Colorattr from xxat_sars_action_history where request_id = :1 and event_name = :2 and action_code <> 'PENDING'
order by sequence_num desc
3. Coded the following in the process request of the controller:
OATableBean table = (OATableBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("CommentsTB");
OAMessageStyledTextBean roleBN = (OAMessageStyledTextBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("role");
OADataBoundValueViewObject cssjob = new OADataBoundValueViewObject(roleBN,"Colorattr");
roleBN.setAttributeValue(oracle.cabo.ui.UIConstants.STYLE_CLASS_ATTR, cssjob);
where 1 and 2 form the colors ( i have even tried with 'Red' and 'Yellow'...as it was not working replaced with 1 and 2)
4.The query returns data fine with corresponding 1 and 2 values.
But different colors are not getting reflecting on to the UI.
I am testing this on my local jdev.
Please do let me know if i am missing something.
Thanks ,
Sushma.

Any Clues please.....
Thanks,
Sushma.

Using multiply effect on illustrator file with 2 color job?

Hi,
Encountering a tricky problem and not sure if its an InDesign fix or an Illustrator fix.
I am working on a 2 color job—pms color + black on a book cover. The cover needs to seperate into these 2 colors.
Also, I need to make a high res and lowres pdf that look like the cover to send out to marketing, sales etc.
WHAT's THE PROBLEM?...
Well, I am creating a collage with black ink vector graphics on top of the pms background. I created this art in illustrator. it is saved as an .eps file. The illos were done by someone who used a white fill to knock out black areas. There is also a wide 50% grey outline around the illustration.
I like the idea of the line of the illo being black and the fill being red so that it looks seethrough on the red background. But the 50% grey outline causes a problem...I'd like the 50% outline to blend with the red color, so instead of appearing like there is white in the ink it overprints.
The only way I could think of (and quickest way) was to apply the multiply filter in illustrator to the vector illo. This seemed to work great.
I brought the illo into InDesign where I created my cover layout.
Looks great, Prints great. Separations appear to be good, although it shows the yellow, cyan, and majenta layer they appear to be blank, so I think it will seperate nicely into 2 plates–PMS + black.
BUT, when I make a pdf, using "smallest file size" or using "high quality print", the pdf it makes does not show the illustrations in the collage. They are kind of beige and dulled out. The publisher needs pdfs too.
Does this at all indicate that this job will not print correctly using this multiply filter, or is it all well and good final product wise, but its just an issue making the pdf? I am slightly nervous I am going to send this off to the printer and they will have some issue.
I am a professional designer of 10 years with lots of print experience, but I have never used multiply in illustrator so I just want to make sure there is no rule against doing this I should know about. Does multiply at all mess with the color separations or is it fine? And how do I get my pdf to come out right? I'm hoping there's some dumb thing I'm forgetting, or a simple fix.
Thanks for any insight you may have!
L.

I did figure out after posting this that I was using one .ai file and one .eps file—the .ai was showing up fine in the pdf and the eps was showing up screwy.
odd thing though, when I just re-exported using pdf/x–1a settings, now both images appear muddy! but fine when I turn "overprint preview" on. I just don't want my publisher to have to tell everybody to turn overprint preview on...they shouldn't have to do that for editors etc, non design people.
maybe the new "smallest file size" will be fine though since this is a press preset...we'll see.

InDesign Workflow with spot colors only

Please can someone explain me why InDesign treats working with four spot colors differently than working with CMYK? They are just four colors or channels, right? What is the difference between Cyan or PANTONE Reflex Blue?
It is true that 99% of the time CMYK is used. It is also true that you can work in CMYK and tell the printer to put a different ink instead of the a Cyan, Megenta, Yellow or Black ink. The project I work on now involves four Pantone spot colors and a few illustrators how need/want to see what they are doing, so...
The question is mainly because InDesign is soooooooooo slow working with spot colors. It feels slower than Quark Xpress 4.11 on a Mac OS 9 G4 machine.
Many thanks!

I have never seen ID slow down with spot colors, but, I have not gone past CS5.5 nor do I work with OSX, both of which have many threads releating to screen draw times, and general lag.

I would suggest working mostly in Overprint Preview when working with Spot Colors.
What is the difference between Cyan or PANTONE Reflex Blue?
Excepting that they are both defined colors...everything about them is different.
Consider this - c, m, y, k are all spot colors. They are base colors, not different (to me) than Warm Red, Rhodamine Red, Reflex Blue, Pantone Green, Pantone Purple, Pantone Violet, Pantone Rubine Red, there are a few others..
In you color pallet, Yellow is not a spot color - it is a mix of (typically) y and 0~20% m.
Same for each color in the default pallet - 0~100% of c,m,y,k
It is true that 99% of the time CMYK is used.
Many spot colors cannot be accurately reproduced in the cmyk spectrum.
It is also true that you can work in CMYK and tell the printer to put a different ink instead of the a Cyan, Megenta, Yellow or Black ink. The project I work on now involves four Pantone spot colors and a few illustrators how need/want to see what they are doing, so...
Those days are gone. You would need to be more familair with the hammer and screw approach to avoid overprint mistakes, tints are not the same as transparencies, many hurdles here that have long been forgotten. What you would see on screen would be nothing near to the actual project.
It should be determined before preceeding if the project will be printed cmyk or as 4 spot colors.

Defining the color index (populate the color palette with custom colors in an orderly manner)

Hi,
In Excel 2003 I used the following lines (see BELOW) to populate my color palate (in an orderly manner) with custom colors.

Could someone please help me with the fix.

Hi Peter,
THANK YOU for your reply.
I have just enough VBA skills to get myself into trouble PLUS it's been a LONG time since (with any regularity) I've written any subRoutines.
I'm getting a Compile Error: Can't assign to array... and... "arrPal =" is HIGHLIGHTED (in the arrPal = ActiveWorkbook.Colors   statement)
I should probably mention that the ColorPalate code resides (along side) with other code... in a macro subroutine that configures Excel for the way I work.
The code I used is BELOW
THANX for your time... Frank

Problems with "no color" in the "Fill and Stroke"

I am having problems with “no color” in the “Fill and Stroke” function of Flash CS4 Pro.
I had been using CS4 for 10 days and everything worked fine. Then I tried experimenting with various color combinations (along with “no color”) for “Fill and Stroke” for a simple button. Suddenly CS4 locked up on me while I was working with the “color panel”. A second color panel appeared in the upper left corner and the program was not responding. All I could do was to end the CS4 task.
After that, whenever I created even a simple rectangle, at first the colors would appear as indicated for “Fill and Stroke”, but when I selected the object to see its properties, either the stroke or the fill color box would have a red slash line, indicating a “no color”, and I couldn’t select the color box to change it using the ink bottle tool, although the other box worked fine.
Rebooting did not help. So I uninstalled CS4 (and didn’t keep the preferences), rebooted, then reinstalled it. The problem was still there. Logging on as another user didn’t help. I tried restoring the Windows system to before I installed CS4 and resinstalling it and that didn’t work. I have a disfunctional CS4 now and I don’t know what to do to fix it. Please help me. Thank you.

Have you updated flash to 10.0.2? Have you played around with a bunch of different selections, objects, and so forth to see if this box is always incorrect? I think there's some particular selection (order of selecting things, and so on), where the color swatches in one location don't work as expected. However, it should not happen all the time and from what I recall it was fairly easy to work around (I can't even figure out what this was - so probably not it, as it seems hard to run into or perhaps now fixed).
Also make sure you have the stroke selected - if you don't have everything selected, either the fill or stroke will show no color and dim depending on the selection.

Server0 keeps standing with yellow color
