Smartforms - Confusing contents sometimes

Hi,
I have an invoice print program and a smartform. At the beginning, the print program calls the function
LB_BIL_INV_OUTP_READ_PRTDATA to get the print data.
After that it reads the texts and stuff.
In the end, it calls the function of the smartform. If You have set more then one iteration for that invoice, it loops over the smartform function until the number of iteration was reached.
Now sometimes, the sequence of the print outs varies in the spool... In the worst case, the forms are totally wrong. Maybe the first pages are ok, but then it prints the last sum-lines on a page in the middle or something like that.
And if I use the report "RSNAST00" to print multiple documents together, it´s going totally out of order!
Does anybody knows that problem? I don´t know what to do to fix that error....
Thank You!
Cheers Arne

Rankingee-
I can't think of any reason this would happen. You can investigate by trying different settings in Settings-Safari, and see if there is any change. Clearing Cookies and Data might make a difference, but I doubt it.
You can try resetting (rebooting) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart in a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

Thanks for posting this!
I would only mention that your definition is incomplete for this -
Contextual selector A type of Style Sheet Selector that
and that it's most often referred to now as a Descendent selector, not a contextual selector. It's basically the same as the Compound selector that you have already defined....

Why does Apple TV says it is not authorized to play content sometimes when I use the iPad Remote?

Sometimes when using my Apple TV device with my TV off and trying to play music using the iPad Remote app, the app hangs and no music plays. When I turn on my TV to see what's going on there is a message suggesting the Apple TV is not authorized to play this content. Clearly, that is not the case and when I use the normal Apple TV remote to select the music, it plays fine. I use iTunes Match and generally stream my music from there on the Apple TV. I have both HDMI and optical connections to my receiver. Any idea why this could be happening? I would say it happens several times a week.

This works for most:

Try locating a free TV Show episode in iTunes then 'buy' it on AppleTV 1.
We should not have to do this though.
They've forgotten about original AppleTV users.

Display smartform attachment contents

Hi,
Is it possible to display the contents of an attachment in a smartform printout and fax? If yes, how do we do it?
Thanks and Regards,
Mick

Hi Mick,
In the print program of Smartform, use GUI_UPLOAD to upload the file. This FM would upload the data from the file into an internal table. Pass the internal table to the Smartform. In the smartform read that table and display the contents as required.
Best regards,
Prashant

How to upright center the data of the smartforms' table content?

Hello,experts,
I find that smartforms 's format can make the table 's data level-centered ,how to make it upright centered?
pls help me out.thanks

in fact ,I have such a problem:I write a print program with smartforms ,and use A4 paper to print ,the result is good ,but when changed to stylus printer ,some line can not display.
I changed the width of the table from CM to MM.,1CM=10MM.
the col line that can not printed at fist now can be printed .so I wonder if I make the data of the table content upright centered ,whether it will be ok:I hope this measure can make the row line that can not printed out previously can be printed out .
so can you give me some solution .I will be appreciate.

Redirected content sometimes gets munged - why?

using mail.app client, if i "redirect" a message to my own account on my snow leopard server, it comes through just fine. the resulting message looks just like the original. here i'm talking specifically about HTML-formatted messages, such as is typical from companies who send receipts and invoices via email.
if i instead try to redirect a message to <group>-wiki@myserver, then the message gets mangled and comes through looking completely different from the original.
if i look in /etc/postfix/aliases, i see that <group>-wiki is an alias to a list of local users plus a special one (i guess) named teamserver@myserver that (i assume) puts a copy of the message into the group wiki.
the only tiny detail that seems slightly funky is that the alias looks like this:
<group>-wiki: , teamserver@myserver, <user1>@myserver, <user2>@myserver, ...
in other words, the alias begins with a "blank" entry or more specifically there is a comma BEFORE the first entry in the list. does this have some special significance? i don't think so...
anyway, i can't really see why passing through a simple mailing list expansion should affect how messsage content looks when it arrives. can anyone fill me in on what is going on here? what i really want to be able to do is to redirect msgs to the group alias and have them come through looking the same as if they were mailed directly.
a bit more detail....
i have inspected an example HTML message side-by-side with a copy that was redirected to myself as <user>@myserver, and a copy that was redirected to myself via the mailing list <group>-wiki@myserver. i found significant differences in the headers and format of the content.
strangely, the message redirected only to myself had both an html version (which looked good) and a plain text alternative. the original msg did not have a plain text alternative. the message redirected to myself via the group-wiki alias did not have a plain text alternative, either and the html version had an awful appearance.
can anyone fill me in as to what's causing the different behaviors and differences in the resulting message appearance?

It would be important to see WHAT is on that master page? What is on the page?
Do you work with layers? This is very important! Are all items on the very same layer in both versions?
Do you work with paragraph and object styles? It is a must do!

Clipboard contents sometimes won't paste.

It seems that with three or more tabs open the contents of the clipboard will not paste. The content will paste to other programs such as notepad but not to Firefox i.e. the address bar for a different tab.
Any fixes or suggestions?
Extremely frustrating.

Ugh! I have been dealing with this problem for the past 6 months or so. After reviewing several of the responses on this forum, I am comforted by the fact that I am not alone in dealing with this issue.
I am running CS3 on a Pentium 4, 3.4 GHz system with 2 GB of Ram. I have Windows XP service pack 2. I am pretty good about getting both the latest windows and adobe updates. With respect to screen resolutions, I have 2 22inch lcd monitors both running at 1200x1600. My previous version of Photoshop was version 7 plus I had the Macromedias Dreamweaver Suite version 8.
For me the print screen problem has been totally random. I can grab a number of different screen shots (using <alt><prtScn>) and paste them into photoshop without a problem. Then, the process just seems to stop working and then I am only able to paste the last item I was successfully able to grab. And like others on this forum, other apps like Microsoft Word, paint, etc. would let me paste the same image in even though Photoshop would not.
Now, when this problem would come up, for me, it was just a simple mater of recycling Photoshop and then I would be back in business.
I just tried to add the registry key suggested by Nathan (see http://microsoft.blognewschannel.com/archives/2007/09/05/how-to-fix-the-photoshop-clipboa rd/) I opened regedit, navigated to the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop\10.0] folder and added a new dword key. The name of the key is AlwaysImportClipboard and the value is 1. Right now, I seem to be in business.
PS Finally, I feel sorry for those who take offense by any accusations posted on this forum that this issue may be a Photoshop bug. It really does not matter whether this is a windows configuration issue or a Photoshop bug. I just want this feature to work. I think Adobe has done a great job producing an extremely powerful product with more features than I will ever use. I wouldnt be surprised if there was a bug or two.

Business Process Repository is sometimes confusing on transaction tab

I am Using SOLAR01. While creating scenarios and especially business processes by using BPR content, sometimes no transactions are listed in transactions TAB for a business process, but transactions are listed in business process steps. And in contrast sometimes the transactions are listed on Business process level and missing in Business process steps. This is confusing.
We are using SOLMAN 4.0 with ST-ICO-150 content.
An ECC6 system is assigned to project.
For example:
I choose as scenario 'Procurement and Logistics execution process for ERP' from standard BPR content.
System provides me a huge list of Business Processes.
I activate Business process 'Outbound process with WM' and goto Transactions tab. I see no transactions. But Process steps are included like 'Create Delivery' and on steps level there are transactions listed.
Same thing with most of the business processes in this standard BPR derived scenario.
Another example in contrast (for same BPR derived scenario):
I activate Business process 'Purchase Requisition with Service Directories' and goto Transactions tab. I see MANY transactions. Process steps are included like 'Release purchase requisition' and on steps level there are NO transactions listed.
In fact, the cases when transactions are available on Business process level have 'Execute' icon before the BP name in the structure tree on left-hand side area.
Can somebody explain me, why transactions from BPR content are assigned sometimes on BP level and sometimes on BP step level. In my opinion they should be on both levels. BP level should contain all transactions and BP step level only those transaction relevant for that step.
BR: Kimmo

Kimmo,
We are using the BPR content to develop process flows using ARIS for NetWeaver. Our experience is very similar to yours, to the extent that we hired an SAP consultant to help us map transactions back down to the process steps.
In the end, the value of the BPR is diminished if the transactions are not properly mapped to the process steps. We have found very few SAP experts who are even aware of the BPR (this includes actual SAP staff), but all are familiar with the transactions required to run the software. For an architect looking to have business processes designed with referenced objects the BPR is invaluable. How I long for the days of the ASAP R/3 reference model!

Disappearing content in a table

Hello All,
I have been adding to a course syllabus week by week in
Dreamweaver 8. The syllabus is in a table, centered, with a
repeating background image. Recently the bottom part of the
syllabus, along with the table including it, fluctuates between
being visible and invisible when in 100% design view. If I run the
mouse over the edge of the table, it will sometimes reveal content,
sometimes not. If I scroll up, the content reveals again, only to
disappear if I scroll back down. (If I jump up to 150% view,
everything shows as it regularly should.) It also appears fine in
several different browsers, both when I preview and when I upload
to my server and view live. I have tried cleaning up Word HTML, yet
the problem remains. It is WAY weird, particularly since the code
is all there, intact, yet you can't see all the content at 100%
view. I have tried copying and pasting into a new table in a new
file, without the repeating image, yet the bottom content is still
invisible in 100% view.
Any ideas?
-confused in Honolulu, and much appreciative of any insight .
. .

You are on a Mac, and your page is VERY long?
Try making your design view zoom setting 99% or 101% and see
what happens.
Better - break your very long page into several shorter ones.

Does the Flash Player (Win7 / IE 9+) cache content outside of the browser?

I have encountered a technical issue using Flash (CC) content in Captivate 7. I am distributing the content to a customer with approximately 1000 Windows PC's running IE 9 +. Some of these computers have no issue but a small number experience a problem which prevents them from downloading content after an undetermined point. There is no apparent pattern to identify either a fault in the content or a fault in the workstation build.
The problem looks like this:
The user is able to access the content - sometimes several courses, sometimes only one.
At some point during a course -it will stop playing (failing to load the next page).
The user can close the course and reload - but is always stops in the same place it originally failed.
The user can load previously accessed courses and these work without issue.
The user is unable to load any new courses (previously un-accessed) - resulting in a blank page.
No application events are logged when this occurs so there is little to examine when it occurs. We have anecdotal evidence that the issue can sometimes be resolved by clearing the browser cache - but not always. Also - we have unconfirmed reports that the problem can "resolve itself" after several weeks.
From my perspective it looks like one of the following scenarios is causing the problem:
The Flash Player is caching content in a location other than the browser cache and reaches a limit. The cache is not overwriting content so then fails to download any new content.
The Flash Player experiences a problem which prevents it from downloading content (corrupt files, registry issue, or policy restriction).
We have several other customers who access this content at different sites - and none have reported this specific issue, so we are confident that the delivery mechanism is sound. The customers workstations are generally new machines with plenty of capacity, and they have a 200 Mb leased line connection to the Internet. The customer has assured us they do not use a caching proxy server on site, nor any bandwidth optimisation tools so in theory, the client connection is direct to the Internet. Additionally - the fact that this issue affects isolated workstations suggests the problem lies at the endpoint - not in the transmission path.
Has anyone encountered this type of issue before - or does anyone have any knowledge of Flash Player caching operations?
Regards

IE will roll cache like any other browser. Keep as much as the user allows and start recycling when that gets filled. At no point will IE "fill up" on any single or multiple sites and be unable to download any more content. Downloading is all a browser does and Flash is not excluded from that unlimited party. However if you never remove content properly and continue to download endless content, you could encounter RAM issues. You don't have unlimited RAM so you may be hitting a wall. But as long as you're disposing any content you loaded that you no longer need, that isn't an issue.
You're going to need to install some custom logging if you really want to debug a clients client. The most popular thing a Flash application will do is fail silently and lock up because you did not provide any failsafe measures for various common issues. From common crossdomain policy issues to flaky connections failing in the middle of a download, you need to handle all these situations and act appropriately. If any content is failing to load in Flash you can be sure if you try {} catch () {} you'll be given a top level chance to send out a log notice to yourself. That's of course assuming you have the standard IOErrorEvent, SecurityErrorEvent, etc already in place to also log.
If you had access to the offending machines then opening the developer tools in IE and using the network manager would be the easiest way to see what's going on. If you click to load more content and see no network request, the requesting itself has an issue (could be a million reasons). If you see the request go out then you'll either see it fail in the middle or complete. If it fails you should have code to handle that. If it completes and the app still locks up, you probably have ABC that isn't playing nicely and should be "caught" and logged.
There's just no one way to approach this. Only layers of error handling and logging are your best friends when it comes to debugging this kind of thing.
Personally I've seen clients boast they have XMbit lines and their network is otherwise perfect, when it had old grade (100mbit) eth cables and the little things that schools and large companies tend to overlook in the long run. It's easy to replace a faulty switch or eth card but in-wall cable, not so often.

Why does Firefox sometimes put the New Tab "+" button to the left of my open tabs instead of to the right?

In some windows, seems more likely after a crash recovery (but not sure there's a connection), Firefox puts the New Tab "+" button to the left of my tabs instead of the right. This is annoying, because once you're used to clicking it to the right of your open tabs, it's confusing to sometimes find it to the left.
If I go into Customize mode, it still shows the "+" tab on the right, but as soon as I close Customize, it's really still there on the left edge of the screen.
Why does this happen and can I stop it? I have seen no reports of this problem posted by others, but it's been happening for me since at least Version 12 and not fixed by version 13.0.1.

This may be related to session restore.

Searching content of .dmg files

Is there any way to do a "contents" search in a .dmg file?
I have several .dmg files, made with DiskUtility , encrypted, and then opened as a virtual disk, under Devices on my MacBook Air and used to store files.
But I sometimes want to search the contents of those files. (I am doing all this when the file is open and listed under Devices)
I can't get Spotlight to search it, even when the following Apple's instructions on how to index folders or volumes, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2409.
I also tried using direct instructions with the terminal using,
sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/volume_name
This one is particularly curious because it gives different results with different files. When I created a new test file it returned,
Air:~ DAir$ sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/test1
Password:
/Volumes/test1:
Indexing enabled.
Even so, I still could not get spotlight or search in a finder window to reliably find any content.
(sometimes if I opened, made a small alteration and then saved a file it would find content in that file, although not in any other files on the volume.)
but when I use this same command with an older volume of the same sort it always returns the result, "indexing disabled"
sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/Error12Codes
/Volumes/Error12Codes:
Indexing disabled.
It can never find any content in these older files.
Likewise, the program EasyFind will not find content on these volumes even when set to find "file contents"
Can anyone help with this? How can I search the content of a .dmg volume?

A test .dmg file that I just made does have .spotlight -V100 in it.
Still it will not find a word in the contents of a file, unless I first open that file, make a small change in it, save it, and close it. Then it seems that it has indexed that file.
In fact it would seem that when that happened it indexed all the files in that .dmg volume, and I can now find the contents of any file there.
But the .dmg files that I made earlier do not have the .spotlight-v100 in them and spotlight will not find any contents.
And still if I give the command "sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/Error12Codes" it returns
"Indexing disabled"
Putting these .dmg files into the privacy section of the Spotlight preferences and then removing them as Apple suggests, seems to have no effect.
What is going on?
