Stack File for JSPM when using Maintenance Optimizer

Hello,
As you know JSPM looks for a stack file when applying a support pack stack. When using maintanance optimizer I see no way to get a stack file. I end up having to do the work twice: once to get the files in maintenance optimizer, and again I have to go to marketplace swdc to choose the files and create the list of downloads again only to save a stack file.
Am I missing something? Is this double work really necessary?

Hello John,
It seems that you are doing double work.
If you use the download type as "SLM" then you have a chance to transfer the XML to SLM. Else if you choose the download type as "Download Manager" then the XML should be created in the EPS/in folder of the Solution Manager system.
You also need to check whether you have applied all the applicable notes for the Solution Manager stack from the note 1122966 and that the BC sets for MOPZ are activated correctly.
Finally check the permissions on the EPS/in folder of Solution Manager to check whether there is a issue with authorizations.
A SLG1 log ( filtered by the username who creates the MOPZ transaction and time at which the transaction was created ) will reveal the errors in the process.

Error opening file for writing when installing

I cannot install Flash on my Vista X64. I have tried running
the downloadable install and the online install. Any time I try to
run the install I get "error opening file for writing" when trying
to write C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\Flash9d.ocx.
I have uninstalled Fash first (it never worked anyway) and I
have rebooted. I even tried rebooting in Safe Mode but no matter
what I try, I cannot remove the existing Flash9d.ocx and installing
will not overwrite the existing file.
Even after uninstalling Flash and rebooting to safe mode,
Windows reports that flash9d.ocx is in use. So why is the file in
use after uninstalling?
Any help is appreciated.

Well, I finally figured out the problem with mine today. Of
course, I'd still like to know what nefarious purpose might be
involved with the Flash activeX file being loaded in memory even
after uninstall and reboot such that it cannot be removed from my
PC even in Safe Mode.
At least I got Flash working. I discovered that Flash was
disabled in IE.
In IE, go to Tools->Options->Programs and then Manage
Add-Ons. In my case, the ShockWave Flash Object was set to
disabled. I changed it to Enabled and I was able to install and use
Flash properly. Now I am just not sure I want to.
With the questionable practices of using the ActiveX control
even after uninstall, and making the file un-removable, along with
the extremely (in my opinion) dishonest practice of installing
Google Toolbar with Flash, I am hoping that Microsoft's Silverlight
puts Flash out of the market - and I'm no huge fan of Microsoft
either. With the new practices from Adobe, they are, in my opinion,
no better than any other spyware and malware purveyor on the market
- right up there with Napster and the dozens of follow-on products
that tricked users into installing unwanted software.

Keeping Bookmarks when using PDF Optimizer

Is there a way to keep bookmarks when using PDF Optimizer? Or a way to easily transfer my links and bookmarks to the new document?

Got it. I had "Discard invalid bookmarks" checked. Since the "Discard bookmarks" in the other menu was not selected I figured I would be fine. Oh well, it's working now.

What is best practice for using Maintenance Optimizer to download SPS + EhP

SAP indicates in note 1095233 and many other documents that the best practice is to implement an EhP along with an SP Stack in the same queue. Furthermore, the only way to download the components of an EhP is via Maintenance Optimizer. However, in step 2 (Calculate download files automatically) you must choose either Maintenance (SPS) or Enhancement Package Installation (EhP); there is no way to tell Maintenance Optimizer that you want to download both SPS and EhP.
In developing the process for my team I circumvented the problem by saying to select Maintenance first to get the SPS into the Download Basket and follow that with selecting Enhancement Package Installation to get the EhP into the Download Basket. The plan would be to include all the downloads in the SPAM/SAINT queue with the expectation that SPAM/SAINT will be able to determine what must be included.
I'm wondering now whether that is a legitimate way to approach this and I am hoping others will share their process.
Thanks,

Actually, I don't believe you will get the entire SP Stack for ERP 6, you only get those pieces of the stack that are required for the Technical Usages you select for the EhP. I'm basing that on my observation that you get a different subset of the files making up the stack depending upon your TU selection. Also, note 1095233 specifically states:
If now the corrections included in the enhancement package 3 correspond to ERP 6.0 SP level 11, SAP recommends to update also the parts of your system to SP level 11 which you do not want to update to enhancement package 3 to achieve a consistent correction level in all parts of your application: SAP recommends to update all software components to the correction status corresponding to SAP ERP 6.0 Support Package Stack 11 with the installation of SAP enhancement package 3 for SAP ERP 6.0.

Huge file size grow when using external editor

Hello,
I want to use an external editor such as Photoshop or Pixelmator. When I set one of the applications to be the external editor everytime I open a file for editing a version is created with a file size of approx. 57 Mb.
Any ideas what is going on here?

Lt, it's also worth seeing if you have the setting for the TIFF so that it best suits you. If you don't require a 16 bit TIFF make sure the it's set to create an 8 bit TIFF instead. The 57 meg size sounds like a 16 bit image. An 8 bit one will be half that
. Before Aperture I used to stay16 bit right up until I passed the image off to whoever it was going to, at which point I'd make them an 8 bit version because that would usually be what they wanted. But now so much of whatever advantage that brought me (exposure and tonal changes, especially in solid areas) is being done in Aperture, even before creating a TIFF, so it can be argued that for many people the advantage of exporting 16 bit to the external editor isn't gaining them that much. If it's going to a consumer printer (that is not 16 bit aware) even more so. 16 bit is better, but if size is an issue and Aperture is doing 90% of the global tweaking, I don't think sending the editor an 8 bit TIFF is a crime : )

Dependency List for ESS SP11 using Maintanance optimizer ?

I need to somehow get a dependency list for ESS sp11 patch. I was told that this can be done on the Solman 4 system using Maintanance optimizer. I can see how to impliment the service pack but not how to generate a list of dependencies that I can present to the customer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edited by: VASQUEZ J. David on Feb 12, 2008 8:28 PM

Hi VASQUEZ,
You can see the dependencies ESS in the service market place only,you can see the import conditions for that particular package.Solman's maintanence optimizer is used to approve the download of that stack.Here you can not see the dependencies using solman.I think if you want to install patches for java they are cumilative,you can directly go from your current patch level to the recent one present in the market place.
Reward points if helpfull.

Formatting files for PC's using AutoCad machine control

I sent a series of line drawings (Illustrator 12.0.1, OS 10.4.1) to a water-jet cutter who asked for the drawings in dxf format. He controls his CNC machine with a PC running AutoCad program. The drawings imported into his program OK but he says AutoCad doesn't like the Illustrator segments, particularly the long bezier curves and he has to go over every drawing adjusting the control points and adding others to get the CNC machine to perform properly. (Dumbing down???)
I'm thinking the solution is to somehow apply the Illustrator option 'split long paths'. Is there an option to do this according to values that I can enter somewhere? Or is it only possible to do this manually with the scissors tool? Or does anybody have any experience with preparing files for use by PC's with AutoCad for the control of a CNC machine? Advice?

James,
George needs less segments/anchor points. The bezier curves that Illustrator creates when exporting to DXF is a nightmare for a waterjet cutter. It is interpreting the bezier data as many tiny individual line segments that make up an arc. He would be better off exporting version 8 AI ( everything higher than 8 is PDF based ) if his vendor could import it. They are definitely "cleaner" when importing into CAD vs the DXF export from AI and DXF import into AutoCAD. I am assuming the vendor cannot import AI, that is why I recommended www.kandusoftware.com
I have been down this road many times, cleaning up bad DXF files with numerous line segments. You get good at it after a lot of practice, but it is still takes a lot of time to get good output on the waterjet cutter.

Exporting file for Flash Catalyst use?

Hey everyone. I've made a video in Flash Pro, and I want to be able to play it in Flash Catalyst. I'm using 5.5 of both versions, btw. I export the Flash Pro video to a .mov file and then use Media Encoder to make that a .flv file. I bring that file into FC and publish to web. However, when I put those 'deploy to web' files on my website, the video doesn't play. Everything else works except for the video. So I put a generic, short .flv file that I downloaded from the internet into my FC file. I published it to my website again, and everything worked fine. The video played. So obviously the problem with my video must be in the encoding process.
How should I do this? I read one article online that said when I export a .mov file for FC, I should make sure that I don't have 'Fast - Compressed Header' selected in the Streaming options. Well, I checked and I don't. It's just under regular 'Fast'. So what am I doing wrong here? I've even tried converting my .mov file to a f4v file, and that doesn't work. Help here would be so greatly appreciated.

Ah. I think they just tested the .html file. Though, they were trying nearly everything yesterday, so they might have tried the swf file, too. I'll ask him this afternoon. There's a webpage included in both deploy-to-web and run-local folders. Both are entitled main.html. I'm looking at both codes in Dreamweaver to see what would be different, how the code is calling to the flv video, and I can't see any change! I switch from one code view to the other, and nothing is different. The only difference is that in the video size area, the html file from the run-local folder is bigger. So obviously something more was put into the run-local html file, but what I don't know. I can't figure that out from the code. Here's the code from the run-local file, though it looks the same in the deploy-to-web html file, too.

Any more ideas. You've been really, really helpful so far!

How to set "Files of type" when using a "File Browse" item.

Apex 4.0.2
Internet Explorer 7 +
I have a "File Browse" item on a page and need to limit the types of files display to just "text (.txt)" files. How can this be done? Currently, the "Files of type" list shows "All File (*.*)", "Pictures (*.gif,*.png)", and HTML (*.htm,*.html)". In the best case, I would like to not have the "Files of type" list and have the user just limited to text files. However, adding Text files (*.txt)" to the "Files of type" list is ok.
thanks,
William

Thought i'd do a bit of research after seeing Scotts wonderful ideas.
So it turns out, IE made the file item read only from version 8, for security reasons. Read more: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/07/02/ie8-security-part-v-comprehensive-protection.aspx
File Upload Control
Historically, the HTML File Upload Control (<input type=file>) has been the source of a significant number of information disclosure vulnerabilities. To resolve these issues, two changes were made to the behavior of the control.
To block attacks that rely on “stealing” keystrokes to surreptitiously trick the user into typing a local file path into the control, the File Path edit box is now read-only. The user must explicitly select a file for upload using the File Browse dialog.
Additionally, the “Include local directory path when uploading files” URLAction has been set to "Disable" for the Internet Zone. This change prevents leakage of potentially sensitive local file-system information to the Internet. For instance, rather than submitting the full path C:\users\ericlaw\documents\secret\image.png, Internet Explorer 8 will now submit only the filename image.png.To resetting the actual items, suggestions I found were to replace the actual item. So instead of using $s, I just replace the element, with the existing element, causing it to re-initialise.
var htmldb_delete_message='"DELETE_CONFIRM_MSG"';
function fileCheck(el){
    if(el.value){
        var validFile = false;
        var validExtensions = ["csv"];
        var filename = el.value;
        var fileExtIndex = filename.lastIndexOf(".");
        var fileExt = filename.substring(fileExtIndex+1, filename.length);
        for(i = 0; i < validExtensions.length; i++){
            if(validExtensions[i] == fileExt){
                validFile = true;
                break;
        if ( !validFile || fileExtIndex == -1) {
            alert("Invalid Extension. Permitted files must end with: " + validExtensions.toString());
            var htmlContents = el.outerHTML || new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(el);
            $('#P16_BINARY').replaceWith(htmlContents);
}(obviously, replacing what you need to, to suit your page - i prefer scotts idea of passing in supported file types in the function, so would just pass in an array instead; but this is just for demonstration)
with an onchange="checkFile(this)" on the element attributes.
On a slightly un-related note, I found out IE doesn't support the wonderful indexOf function on arrays, that checks for the existence of the value in an array. Sucks.

Hi SK,
Thank you for your reply!
We are not allowed to use Visual Studio and the same thing we can use in JavaScript, but file stream takes path as one parameter which is physical location of your file system. When you use it some times users might not have access to the file system then
our code fails.

LR3 Fix for Crash when using Develop Module

Adobe tech provided the following fix for my system which crashed when switching to the Develop module.
This is the response I received from Adobe Tech.
Recreating the preferences file corrected the problem.
Their help was right-on and appreciated.
Ed
* to Customer**

Hi Ed,
Thank you for getting back to us. I appreciate your promptness in
responding to our email.
The information provided was really helpful in understanding the issue.
In order to resolve this issue I would request you to perform the below
mentioned steps in order to resolve this issue:
* Remove Lightroom beta from your system as you have the the full
purchase version Adobe Lightroom 3.0 (Because there may be conflicts
between the Beta Version and original product)
* Try to create new Catalog with some new images and check if you are
facing the same issue with Develop module.
* Check if other functions are working fine like Slideshow, Print, Web.
If the problem still exist after removing the Lightroom beta version
from your PC, then perform the below mentioned troubleshooting steps:
* Re-create the Photoshop Lightroom preferences file.
Re-create the Photoshop Lightroom 3.0 and 1.x preferences files to
eliminate problems that a damaged preferences file might cause. If you
do not delete your 1.x preferences as well as your 3.0 preferences,
other issues may occur.
To re-create the Photoshop Lightroom preferences file:
1. Quit Photoshop Lightroom.
1. Rename the Lightroom 3 Preferences.agprefs file (for example, to
Lightroom 3 Preferencesagprefs.old) and the Lightroom Prefere
nces.agprefs file (for example, to Lightroom Preferences.old) in the
Documents and Settings/[Username ]/Application
Data/Adobe/Lightroom/Preferences folder.
1. Start Photoshop Lightroom. Photoshop Lightroom creates a new
preferences file.
If the problem continues, the preferences file isn't the cause. To
restore custom settings, delete the new preferences file and restore the
original name of the previous preferences file.
* Also Send us the Image size and format on which your are working in
Lightroom hence resulting in this issue.
This should resolve your issue. If it does, please let us know, however
in case it does not; please revert with any new information that you
might want to add which will help us in resolving your issue.
You can also try referring to our knowledge base and User to User forums
by clicking on the following links:
Knowledgebase: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm
U2U Forums: www.forums.adobe.com

Creating a new catalogue and importing the images does not resolve the problem.
The problem is only occuring on a few images from a particular collection.
Creating a virtual copy also will not edit in photoshop.
Creating a virtual copy and reseting the develop settings will allow the ctrl-e command to work.
However, manually re-applying the develop settings once again stops the ctrl-e command working.
