Stabalizing - Within the workflow (procedural question)

Hi,
As mentioned before, we are shooting miniature models for our project. Some of the models are attached to rigs that will allow them to move up/down, left/right, or rotate 180degrees on one axis. We have several choices of points where we attach the models to the rigs, and that allows us to get the shots we want. Out camera is on a tripod, that is attached to a dolly. We rarely use the zoom functions, but rather dolly in and out.
Some of the rigs require more work, and the footage we have from them leave a lot to be desired - while we work on them, I am using the footage to practice some techniques - in this question, it is stabalization. The rig in question is a pole, that slides purely up and down with the model attached to the top - imagine a helicopter landing scenario. The model starts high, and is brought gradually down. The problem is, that the rig was not very smooth during the first use, and there is quite a lot of juddering on the model itself. it wobbles as it descends. The camera also moved away from the model during the shot.
I would love to stabalize the model, not the camera movement - what is my best workflow:
1) Key wobbly footage, then warp stabalize?
2) Stabalize full shot, then key
3) process shot (from keying, all the way to composite), then stabalize output.
Am I correct in saying that warp stabalizer would be my best bet to stabalize talen motion?

Hi,
I just finished a test I had set up, and to me, it seems that this is quite a good solution (but is it the most efficient?)
1) Import footage
2) Key footage (in my case, using the GMatte/Cmatte/Ematte techniqur to get a beautiful thinn edge to work on)
3) Stabalizing one of the above precomps with warp stabalizer
4) Copying and pasting the result onto the other two
This seemed to smooth out the wobbles nicely, although the movement is still detectable. I am not sure that warp stabalizer IS the best tool to remove talent wobbles!

Using 2 refcursors within the same procedure

Hi,
Can we use 2 refcursors within the same procedure. This might sound strange. But I have a scenario of doing so- one for dynamically checking for some validations and another for returning a result set.

Yes, go thru the below example.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE CURSPKG AS
TYPE T_CURSOR IS REF CURSOR;
PROCEDURE OPEN_TWO_CURSORS (EMPCURSOR OUT T_CURSOR,
DEPTCURSOR OUT T_CURSOR);
END CURSPKG;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY CURSPKG AS
PROCEDURE OPEN_TWO_CURSORS (EMPCURSOR OUT T_CURSOR,
DEPTCURSOR OUT T_CURSOR)
IS
V_CURSOR1 T_CURSOR;
V_CURSOR2 T_CURSOR;
BEGIN
OPEN V_CURSOR1 FOR SELECT * FROM EMP;
OPEN V_CURSOR2 FOR SELECT * FROM DEPT;
EMPCURSOR := V_CURSOR1;
DEPTCURSOR := V_CURSOR2;
END OPEN_TWO_CURSORS;
END CURSPKG;
I hope it would be helpful.

The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information. Outcome: Unknown Error

Received this error (The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.) recently on a workflow that was
working fine and no changes were made to the workflow.
I have tried a few suggestions, i.e. adding a pause before any ‘Update’ action (which didn’t help because the workflow past this action without incident); checked the data type being written
to the fields (the correct data types are being written); and we even checked the list schema to ensure the list names and the internal names are aligned (they
are), but we still cannot figure out why the workflow is still throwing this error.
We located the area within the workflow step where it is failing and we inserted a logging action to determine if the workflow would execute the logging action but it did not, but wrote the same error message.
The workflow is a Reusable Approval workflow designed in SharePoint Designer 2010 and attached to a content type.
The form associated with the list was modified in InfoPath 2010.
Approvers would provide their approval in the InfoPath form which is then read by the workflow.
Side note - items created after the workflow throws this Unknown Error some seem to be working fine.
We have deleted the item in question and re-added it with no effect.
Based on what we were able to determine there don’t seem to be any consistency with how this issue is behaving.
Any suggestions on how to further investigate this issue in order to find the root cause would be greatly appreciated?
Cheers

Hi,
I understand that the reusable workflow doesn’t work properly now. Have you tried to remove the Update list item action to see whether the workflow can run without issue?
If the workflow runs perfectly when the Update list item action is removed, then you need to check whether there are errors in the update action. Check whether the values have been changed.

Table Trigger and Stored Procedure Question

I'm rusty with triggers/procedures and have a quick question.
If a rollback occurs within a procedure containing a raise_applciation_error called from a table insert trigger, will this prevent the insert on the table from occuring?
I want the transaction to be occur on the table even though an exception is raised within the called procedure.

If the trigger is an "after insert" and the procedure called by the trigger raises an error, will the row still be inserted?
SQL> create table t (n number);
Table created.
SQL> create or replace
2 procedure p as
3 begin
4 raise_application_error(-20001,'Something bad happened');
5 end;
6 /

Run out of step numbers in the Pricing Procedure

Hello gurus,
Has anyone come across the following situation: Within the pricing procedure I want to insert a new condition type but there are no 'free' numbers available within the procedure steps to enable me to do this
e.g: These are the steps in the Pricing Procedure
Step     Cntr     Ctype     Description
290     0     ZLTS     Type1
293     0     ZLTD     Type 2
296     0     ZDIF     Type 3
297     0     ZLEX     Type 4
299     0          Net Value Before Tax
300     0     MWST     Type 5
302     0     ZWR2     Type 6
303     0     ZWR3     Type 7
My new condition type should be applied on the Net Value Before Tax and before VAT (MWST) but there is no available step number i.e Net Value Before tax = step 299 and MWST = 300.   i.e new condition type should go in between 299 and 300.   Any ideas of how to get around this?
Many thanks in advance....

hi,
you can shfit 299 0 Net Value Before Tax to 298, but you need to check all the alternative calculation types if any susbsequent condition is making us of this step in their calculations. We, use the step numbers(STUNNR) in our alternative calculation types, so if you change their number or sequence you will disturb the calcuation of other pricing conditions.
so please evaluate from that angle.

Failed to load the configuration file for the workflow

Hi experts, yesterday I created and publish custom workflow using SPD from client pc using site administrator account but today its shows error message. I tried creating new test workflows, edit and publish to think it will push a fresh SPD settings
in working condition and it works pretty right.
But the thing I noticed after closing SPD Im not able to re-open workflows and it gives the same error message Failed to load the configuration file for the workflow. This issue only happen today since day one I used SPD and all the time
Im using the same pc.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Cheers, R2C3 ----------------------------------- starting sharepoint :)

HI
Maybe you have permission problem or there is invalid xoml murkup.
To verify this from SharePoint Designer use the following steps.
In Office SharePoint Designer, in the folder list, select the plus sign next to Workflows library to expand it
1.Next select the plus sign of the workflow in question to expand it
2.Double-click the configuration file (Workflow_name.xoml.wfconfig.xml) to open it
3.Right-click on the page, and then select Verify well-formed XML
4.Correct any errors and save the file
5.Reopen the workflow to test
Also double check that you are using SPD with the same credentials you created workflow
Hope this will help.

Workflows within the SAP environment

Hello,
for my diploma i'm evaluating the different workflow technologies within the sap environment. Therefor i set up a list with the different technologies and want to know if i'm missing something.
1) ALE
2) MDM Workflow
3) Business Workflow aka Adhoc Workflow
(CRM Workflow, SCM Workflow are synonym to the Business Workflow)
4) SAP Webflow aka SAP Workflow
(kind of a successor of Business Workflow)
5) Guided Procedures
6) Business Process Engine aka ccBPM
Are these the most used Workflows within the SAP environment or is something missing?
And what is the difference between SAP Business Workflow and SAP Webflow? Some source say these two are nearly the same, except the "web-capability" of Webflow...
btw: Sorry for posting this question in the Coffee Corner but its a farreaching area and i dont know which other forum it would fit better...
thx for replys
Matthias

Matthias -
Please be assured that there was no irony or sarcasm intended - if you can complete the evaluation task that you have set for yourself, it will not only be a wonderful achievement but also something that I'm sure many here would want to read and comment on.
The one thing to keep in mind - perhaps the most important thing - is that technological alternatives are never pursued rationally. Rather, they are generally pursued for the worst of reasons - someone's opinion of where "the market" is going at any given point in time.
So unless you can get an SAP "insider" to explain to you why SAP's workflow alternatives developed the way they did, you will not really have a complete picture.
Of course, it's also true that sometimes good things can happen for the worst of reasons, so perhaps the "inside" history of workflow at SAP is irrelevant.
The reason I'm going on about this is because I still don't think "the powers that be" at Walldorf have realized yet that the way to get pre-NW clients to NW200nx (NWDS, WDA, WDJ, GP, VC) is to get them to use regular old workflow first.
There is nothing in NWDS, WDA, WDJ, GP, and VC that can't be done in a pre-NW environment using a combination of user exits, BAdI's, BAPI's, and workflows.
And if SAP customers were to start using these older techniques to implement "integrated" and "process-driven" applications, then they would get into a "state-of-mind" that would make them much more confident of their ability to handle NW techniques, and much more aware of the benefits resuling therefrom.
As the old saying goes -
you've got to take folks from what they know to what they don't
i.e. you can't simply "shock and awe" customers into what you want them to start using.
Sorry to go on like this, but all these matters are tied up in the project you are about to undertake ...

How can I add a link to an item within a workflow email - which will always find the item - even if it's status has changed?

I've used the method within the SharePoint designer to add a link to the workflow context current item URL, but when the current item status changes then obviously this link will no longer work.
How can I change this link so that it will always open the item, even if someone has changed it within the list, before I clink on the link?
This is an important one as over 300 people will use the list and many of these will be emails about items on the list will be in different time zones. I don't want to have lots of mails from people saying "this list doesn't work" as it's
critical they keep using it.
Please help.
P.S. I don't know if the <href> method will work, so if someone can confirm to me then that would be great.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that add a link to an item within a workflow email.
I’ m not very clear about the status you said. Please descript more detail which URL do you want to display.
Per my knowedge, you can display the following url in your email body:
[%Workflow Context: Current Item URL%]
[%Workflow Context: Current Site URL%]
[%Workflow Context: Workflow Status URL%]
[%Current Item: Encoded Absolute URL%]
Please start the workflow automatically when an item is changed and changed.
No matter how you edit the item or update the approve status, the URLs remains the same.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Linda Li

How to determine the load on the oracle server within a stored procedure?

Hi,
I have a subset of commands in my stored procedure that I would like to execute them only if there is not significant load on the database sever.
What would be the best way to measure the amount of load on my database server within a stored procedure?
Thank you,
Alan

It is not that easy.
This stored procedure is called by a job that runs every hour. Half of the stored procedure code are mission critical and must run by any means necessary! The second half must run right after the 1st one and is nice to do.
If I assign a lower priority it makes the situation worst, because then the job might take 3-4 hours and the same jobs run on top of each other over and over.
I just oversimplified the situation, The point is I prefer not to run the less important PLSQL code rather than assigning lower priority and stretch it over timeline. These hourly jobs are not Oracle jobs and cannot run on top of each other. Last time this happened and I had to kill 12 sessions! (12 jobs in 12 hour)
Trust me, estimating the load on the database server is the only solution.
When I say load on the server I mean the load resulted from other oracle sessions on the same database server. This server is a single instance Oracle 10g Enterprise on Solaris. All I need is just accessing to some meaningful counters.
Any help would be appreciated,
Alan

Reading user input from a form within a workflow and perform actions in workflow based on the input

Sharepoint 2013
Need to get input from a user based on some condition within a workflow and based on the input received continue with the workflow. It can be a form with a text box and button to which i can redirect and when user enters a value and clicks on the button
,I should come back to the workflow and perform other processing. I should also be able to manually start this workflow from VS.
Tried different approaches like initiation forms ,user input action of SP2010 etc all of these approaches either add some tasks to task list or force me to click on the workflow link to get input from a user.
Any suggestions on this?

Hello
Thanks for the code, but I don't need an array of beans. By the way this code make a bean and an arraylist everytime it's called?
I was looking for something like this:
<form action="myjsp.jsp" method="post">
...so after submitting the result will go to the myjsp.jsp file and in the myjsp.jsp file
<jsp:useBean id="value" class"myBean">
<jsp:setpropertiy name"value" ....>so everytime I click the add button the values will go the mysjp.jsp file and that will set them in the javabean file. this method uses two files but I was looking for doing this in the same jsp file and not sending it to another file.

Linking Questions cs5: Linking within the Same file, Sharing links, file size bloat

I have to make print cards for my job. Print cards being a 1 page version of the Larger package layout that the place I work manufactures. On this print card is a section for customer info on top, and the print representation on the bottom. What I've been doing is using two files. The first file is the full-scale art on one artboard, and the customer info on the second artboard, but both within one file.
On the second file, I combine the two. I still use two artboard because it's a front and back print-off. The front page (1st art board, 2nd file), is the customer info at the top (linked from the 2 art board, 1st file) and the full art shrunk to fit below (also linked). the back page (2nd art board, 2nd file) is the individual elements of the artwork, zoomed in for easier viewing. For the second page, I use masked links from the fullsize art, sized appropriately. The reason it's important that they all use links, is so if I update the art, it will update the print cards as well.
I've been trying to stream-line this process. This works ok, but the numerous links bloat the file size, and I have to email these to customers. I've started using "Flatten Transparency" on all my Print cards (2nd file) and saving it as a separate .pdf. This cuts out the links, but then all of my masked images are hiding the whole original file behind their mask. So then I started manually cropping each individual masked area, which helps, but once I've gone through this whole process, I don't think I've saved any of the time my template was supposed to save.
file://localhost/Users/troubleinthemaking/Desktop/PRINT%20MINI%20EXAMPLE.pdf
My questions are these:
Is there any way to link to elements within the same file? Like from a different artboard?
I've successfully 'Placed' an artboard from the same file, back into that file (but a different artboard), but this creates a never-ending Save/Update loop. I'd like a better way to do this.
Is there a way to have all instances of a linked file, draw from the same place? i.e. When you update a single link, all instances of that Link would update. plus this would, in theory, cut down on the file size.
Is there any way to automatically have every masked link crop itself after using the flatten transparency command?
Even if I had to select them first. I haven't had any luck selecting them all and then using the pathfinder crop tool. I've had to do each one individually.
I know this last one can't really be answered without seeing everything on my machine. I don't even know what info I'd need to give...
WHY MY FILE SIZE SO BIG!
Thanks ahead of time.
-Jefferson

Jefferson:
There's a few things you can do to make your files smaller, such as using the Action "Delete All Unused Panel Items" which will removed all unused Symbols, Graphic Styles, Brushes and Swatches from your Illustrator files. Those little items add up to bloating a file.
You also need to examine the images that you place into your Illustrator file. Any unnecessary layers or channels? Can the files be flattened before being placed in Illustrator? You can always keep a "working" Photoshop file of all that extra goobledeegook and then flatten the file and do a "Save As" and place that in the Illustrator file. And that could be a Photoshop EPS saved with a TIFF Preview and JPEG Encoding (Maximum Quality), which will save some MBs.
But, you should never sacrifice file size for quality. If these files are going to print, you should be using an FTP program to transfer the files and not email them. Email should not be used for files over 5 MB. If all you want to do is send the customer a Low Resolution PDF Proof for approval via Email, that's fine and dandy, but send the final large size files to the Printer via FTP.
