Stange behavior of filter

Hi,
I've created a filter where year and month are prompted.
In dashboard I've added my prompt and the report with the filter applied.
So far that's working like expected, changing year and month in prompt filters the report.
But when I set the year to a fixed value in my filter and leave it in prompt, I would expect, that only the month will be filtered equally what year the user will select, the fixed value will be taken. But it isn't ... it's filtered for both year and month.
Is it a bug ???

In Answers you can protect the filter. This means that this filter won't be overwritten by a dashboard prompt. Once you have set the filter you should click on the edit filter icon and click on the Protect filter in the drop down menu.

  • Stange behaviors; unable to diagnose

    For the last few weeks, I have been getting these behaviors with increasing frequency:
    1. unable to shut down-have to shut down by holding power switch for 5 sec
    2. having to force-quit a number of non-responsive apps: System Prefs, Firefox 3, Word 2004, PowerPoint 2004
    3. Dock icons bounce interminably but dont open.
    4. Restarting in single user mode and running fsck -fy ends with "the volume appears to be OK AND FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED. After running fsck -fy again, no problems. Typing exit starts login sequence that sometimes ends with just a black screen. Have to hold down start again to shut down and restart.
    5. Disk repair today from install disk: no problems
    6. Apple Hardware Test today" no problems
    7. Disk Warrior 4.1.1 today: no problems
    8. Cocktail run today without apparent problems.
    9. Also, sometimes ForceQuit wont work: report to Apple is a "hang"
    I was planning on updating to OSX.5.7 but am leery of doing so while this weird behavior is going on. I can't find anything wrong...what am I missing???
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks..I was looking for a gun to shoot the computer...
    It just hung on shutdown and I had to hold the start button to shut it down. I restarted, got the gray apple scre
    en with the timer, then a short blue screen, then a black screen. Restarted again with the start button in single user mode, ran fsck -fy, got the message that the volume was OK but that the file system had been modified. Exited anyway and it started up. Here is the console log around the time that the shutdown process hung up. I am doing this on my laptop...am going to shutdown the G5 now and check the RAM.

  • Very stange Behavior with JMX remote

    Hi
    I've an application written with Spring. JMX support works good locally bu I'm unable to connect from remote computer.
    I'm starting with :
    -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=4099 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
    When I launch jconsole on the same computer I connect and I see all my Mbean working perfectly
    If I try to connect from other computer with Jconsole I get "connection failed"
    There is no firewall issue I'm on the same vlan, and on dev machine without any firewall installed.
    Thanks for any help

    Hi,
    I encounterred the same problem, that jconsole cannot connect remotely but works locally fine. I solved the problem by just setting the system property at server's side. No hosts file have to be modified then, neither on server's side nor in client's side. I tried serveral machines for server and client like XP, OS X and Linux and it worked perfeclty. Add this line to your java command:
    -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<IP-Address>
    As <IP-Address> is to be used the server's external address like 172.10.10.10 according to your server's IP. This address is then communicated to the client. Do not use localhost (127.0.0.1), use the real IP address.

  • Stange behavior with google chrome beta

    I realize this is not an Apple app, but...
    I noticed that my cpu utilization (iStat) was pegged on both cpus, and top shows that a google chrome process is responsible. Closing all the chrome tabs and even quitting chrome still leaves a chrome process eating all the available cpu (aroiund 90%). The only way to get rid of it is with a command line kill.
    Has anyone else noticed this? What is this zombie process doing? Why does it not go away when I quit the app? Is there something sinister going on by the "do no evil" corporation?

    We talk a lot about, and try to help with, quite a few programs that do not come from Apple. The problem with trying to work with a beta program is different. They are flakey and unpredictable by nature and usually have their own support groups for bug reports, etc. Considering that Google released their Chrome for Mac beta so recently, I would expect the browser to remain a curiosity for the time being. People can take a look, but don't depend on a program like this.
    I assume you are running the latest beta for Chrome:
    http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=mac
    Google does have a support forum for Chrome that might help:
    http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/label?lid=43d46e8d92fef559&hl=en
    Here's a post about Mac CPU usage and their answer about how to deal with bugs:
    http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=4c00368cc27e1829&hl=en
    Other people that are reporting here about the bookmarks and other problems should check to see if they are running the latest build, and if they are, then either deal with the issues until a new build comes out, report bugs or ask questions on their support forum, forget it for the time being, or get involved with the developer community.
    I'd say that a runaway process qualifies as a bug if all other programs and systems on your computer work well.

  • Problem with Filter function in bubbleSeries

    Hi,
    I have a bubbleSeries. Its dataprovider has item values having both blank('') and negative values. I don't want to show such values, hence I have used a filter function in which a check is made and adds those items which are valid.
    I have data for various years so I have used interpolation effect.
    While playing the animation or viewing data for different time series, a small bubble is displayed on top-left corner of the chart which is not part of the valid data.
    If I dont use a filter function, I dont get this small bubble on top-left corner. But as per my requirements, I need to have a filter function.
    Please help me in guiding through the reason of such behavior of filter function.
    Thanks,
    Tanu

    Hi Gregory,
    Please find below the sample code which shows a small bubble on top-left corner when animation is played. We need to click on "play" button to start the animation and "stop" button to stop the same.

  • Can anyone apply filters or behaviors from the canvas?

    I just installed Motion 5 and the first thing I did didn't work.
    Drag a picture in.
    Go to the behavior list under the preview window and try to select a behavior (or filter).
    Nothing. The popup button flashes briefly but there is no list.
    Instead I have to go to the Library browser and apply it from there.
    I've tried on two different machines, and even on a second account on one machine.
    Did this really ship that broken that even the UI doesn't work?

    Running into the same thing, However, once I applied a filter from the inspector, drop down menus appear to work.
    Actually had a conflict with FCP Studio 3, when I started the app this morning, it told me that it was not compatible with Motion 5 and needed to be moved to another directory. Luckily I have an external drive, moved it over and FCS 3 opened and I was able to complete a project.
    Running Motion 5 from an external drive this morning, no problems.
    Hope this helps

  • Bug Maybe

    Before I submit a Bug report, has anyone seen this and am I doing something wrong?
    a. You give complete description of the problem: In my library panel, the Missing Files shows 15 missing. I checked and they are in one of my folders and show in a Collection as well.
    b. How it occurred and what you were doing when it occurred: I don't know how it occurred, and I just recently noticed it. I tried reimporting, right clicking, deleting found duplicates by hand [didn't find any], and deleting missing files found during synchronizing folders.
    c. What equipment you are running [Win or Mac, CPU, HDDs, RAM, OS #, Desktop or Laptop, Graphics board specs, any other HW you have running: Windows XP Pro SR2, Core2Duo 6600, 2 HDDs SATA, 2GB ram, Desktop, nVidia 7600GT 256MB.
    d. What other s/w were/are you running at the same time: Running Yahoo Wigets,Firefox 2.0.0.5,FSecure,Thunderbird 2.0.0.5, Executive SW Defrag, Copernic, APC Power Chute, Window Washer, Logitech Wireless Mouse
    e. The number of times it has happened: Just once but it won't go away. It doesn't seem to hurt anything, just annoying.
    f. What you have done to diagnose the problem: Looked for the photos in Explorer, they are present and in the LR folder and Collections.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Mel

    Mel, Did you try to optimize LR? I hav ehad some image files show as missing but if I click on the ? it goes away.
    Report it. The more reports they get of stange behavior, the more they'll look into ALL teh strange behavior.

  • 'Weird' Terminology: rigs, snapshots and checkboxes/My odyssey, to create a simple drop-down menu ;)

    The Preface
    I'm a hobbyist! "Daddy does movies", enthusiastic about the -zillions of features, tools like FCPX and Motion5 offer! I'm no designer, no engineer, no 'pro'. My goals are sky-high, results more down-to-earth
    This is no request for help, just to share my … quest for a 'simple' effect. Or feature… Or box.-
    In hope, it helps YOU to solve your problems…
    The Issue
    Simple: I wanted to create my very own 'title' template for FCPX. Concept: a lil' animation, the two teams logos reveal a lower third, showing the actual score. Plus, an insert showing the scorer (=my kids love to see themselve in such 'sports graphics' )
    Usually, I 'manufacture' such graphics as single Motion-Projects. This time, my goal was a template, my kids slaughtered in the first season's game the other team by 11:1 (which is in soccer…  a goal-fest) To 'built' each Title manually as individual Projects would spend too much time. I needed a template! … so, step #1: using a Dropzone for opponents logo - easy. Animating - been there, done that, easy.-
    But that 'show players face&name' … 18 team-members… wouldn't it be nice to have some 'drop down menu'?
    How to accomplish that?
    The Manual, with all respect, is written for experts. Describing ALL options in one sentence. I need a cookbook, step-by-step-instruction … My preferred source of imagination, MacBreakStudio/rippletraining/Mark Spencer, hasn't done a tutorial for 'drop downs' yet.-
    My guts told me, it has something to do with 'rigs' …
    The Rig
    I dragged my folder with player-pics into my Motion5 project; there, I could check/uncheck each player. But I wanted these 'boxes' avail in FCPX, I wanted to 'publish' this check-list. Trying 'tis&'tat, I noticed, I can apply to the opacity of each player-pic a Rig. And a Checkbox-rig - hey, that close!!
    … soooo?
    No 'checkbox' in FCPX after publishing my title. No list after publishing to FCPX! What have I done wrong?
    The Snapshots
    I was confused by the meaning of  'snapshot'! … and since it made "ping!" in my head, it's so simple:
    As I would done it in a 'manufactured', single Motion project, I have to select each team-member, create a New Snapshot, set opacity to show only this player; create another New Snapshot, showing a diff. player. … and so on, and so on.
    … for sure, for convenience I renamed each Snapshot to each Player's name…
    In my amateurish mind, I had the imagination, Motion5 would offer me a 'behavior' (or 'filter' or whatever) to create checkboxes; or drop-downs; … uhm, well it does, but for me the work-flow is back-to-front: first creating a status-quo, then tell 'this is option#1/#2/#3' … I had the idea, you can select first an 'empty box', then drag its content into it. I've learned: professional don't tic this way.
    Eighteen Snapshots later …
    The Result
    After publishing my hand-crafted Title, it appears like that in FCPX:
    The Dropzone is to apply the actual contestants team-logo; the 'Title' is the score, just type the number; and - finally! - I had my drop-down-menu, listing all players,  for simple selection.- Me happy … !
    In movin' images:
    http://youtu.be/wIeu1cVMu94
    As mentioned before: the design isn't meant to win a price; and most probably, there are 'shorter ways to Rome' … so, if any of you 'pros' like to comment or recomment a 'better', in terms of 'easier' way, don't hesitate to teach me!
    K.

    Motion-guru Marc Spencer from rippletraining.com has an episode upon Rigging at MacBreak Studio
    MacBreak Studio - Episode 151: Setting up a Rig in Motion 5 for Final Cut Pro X    
    … I'm no expert (as you notice in my first post ), but I'm really overwhelmed by the endless options, esp. in correlation with FCPX… on first sight, 'rigging' looked like 'bundled color sliders' to me, but by creating your very own drop-down menus you can create extremely powerful tools, handcrafted for your very own needs.
    For sport-reports, with its tons of statistics and inserts, you can create a box of 'title genrators' - once done, multiple times used, and extreeeemly fast then.
    … And when a 'nnob' like me manages it, it is really no rocket-science…
    Kudos to the DevTeam at Cupertino!!!

  • How to delete the Preferences file in mavericks

    I have seen advice to delete my preferences to fix some "wonky" behavior (radial filter doesn't show outlines when applying it) by LR 5.5.   I have Mavericks on my Mac, and can't find out where to do this.  Can anyone help?  Thanks.

    Preferences file location:
    Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5
    Once you find the file, it can be deleted like any other file, but consider renaming it instead, so in case it doesn't help, you can rename it back..
    Quit Lightroom first!

  • Project chugging unbelievably slow when making changes

    Hey all.
    I'm working on a DVD demo reel, and I've got this 3D thing going on as the intro to the DVD.
    Take a look at my project: http://m-1studios.com/motion/DemoReel_Menu_Concept2.motn
    I have a group of groups that's basically a fan out as the camera moves backwards of what will be various video assets, currently occupied by still picture placeholders, and then I have a group that is text with some fake 3D effect going on.
    When I started the project, everything was running smoothly and fast. Now, even though the video preview plays at somewhat reasonable speeds, it takes FOREVER just to make a change.
    If I apply the simplest behavior to one of my layers, I get the spinning beach ball for at least 10 seconds! I'm on a quad 2.66 Ghz with 11GB of Ram! What the ****! Once Motion thinks about the change I make to my timeline, then I can scroll through the project with ease, without any chugging. Its only when I make a change or apply a behavior or filter or even just changing a numerical value in an input box that it stalls. This is REALLY slowing me down. This chugging happens even when I disable most of my CPU intense layers. It doesn't seem to be related to what's visible or hidden.
    Any thoughts?
    (PS Some of the projects aspects are in http://m-1studios.com/motion/ There is a video and audio asset already in my project that you won't be able to link to because they are too big to upload)

    I suspect the interactive slowdown you're experiencing may have something to do with having your preview thumbnails turned on.
    Motion must build and scale each of those images individually each time you pause since they reflect the frame you’re parked on. Each preview image must be imaged for that layer alone, then resized for the thumbnail. Text thumbnails can be particularly render intensive.
    To turn off thumbnails, go to the dropdown menu to the upper left of your layers palette:
    And for the timeline thumbnails, go to your preferences:

  • (Dir 11.5) RTF rendering problem in recent Shockwave plugin

    Hi Guys,
    Have a look and please advise:
    www.abg.com.pl
    when the presentation is fully loaded please press ENTER, then PRODUKTY and observe pretty stange behavior of bulleted text, especially when scrolling.
    Many texts on this site comes form imported RTF documents. You may see "PRODUKTY" text here for instance:
    http://www.abg.com.pl/dswMedia/produkty.rtf
    They used to render well in older plugin versions but now there is an issue. Is this a known bug or something else?
    Please notice, due to Polish diactritic letters (character encoding) the presentation may be best seen on Windows.
    Ani ideas how to overcome?
    Regards,
    Ziggi

    I can confirm the issue you are reporting - WinXP Pro, SP3; FF3; SW 11.5.0.596
    This latest version of SW (596) was released with a fix for a scroll bug in #text members, but yours seems to be a new/different issue. Are you reporting that this didn't occur with build 595 (the initial SW release co-inciding with the D11.5 release)? What about authoring - do you see it there?
    Can you create a smaller SW file with only this scrolling text member in it, and place it and the unprotected Director file on the web somewhere?

  • Iterate query result - put specific rows in a collection and do output

    JDeveloper 11.1.1.3.0
    Oracle Lite: 10.2.0.1.0
    Browser: IE 7
    Hi,
    please help me in working on following requirement:
    1. Iterate the View Object Query Result
    2. Do some calculation on the Rows, lets say:
    Concatination of column1 and column2 and place it in a non database Attribute "column3"
    3. How to handle/place the non database attribute?
    4. Fetch specific rows from the query result; there should be a comparison, like checking master and detail hierachy struktur:
    Take Column1_ID (Master) check in columns2_ID (Detail), when found detail take this Row and place it in a buffer (Maybe ArrayList, or something like that)
    5. Show the Chace(ArrayList) to user, in a form of View Object, with standard functions like sorting and filtering
    Till now my process of solving the above requiremnts are:
    To Point 1:
    Created a service method in Application Implementation Class
       public void iterateEmp(){
         EmployeesVOImpl vo = getEmployeesVO1();
         while (vo.hasNext()){
          EmployeesVORowImpl row = (EmployeesVORowImpl)vo.next();
          System.out.println(row.getEmployeeId() + " | " + row.getFirstName() + " | " + row.getLastName() + " | " +  row.getEmail());   
          //row.setCalcCol(row.getFirstName() + "," + row.getLastName());
         }To point 2:
    Added an attribute to the View Object, with updateable and Queryable options. Place it on the JSPX Page.
    With setter method, filled with values, for example (non Database Attributes Name is CalcCol):
    Name:
    //see above code
    row.setCalcCol(row.getFirstName() + "," + row.getLastName());When doing so, on initial Call the values will be representated, but when sorting o filtering will be done, the values then will be erased.
    3. Added an Attribute in View Object "Attributes Panel".
    Here the XML Code of the View Object:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
    <!DOCTYPE ViewObject SYSTEM "jbo_03_01.dtd">

    </ViewObject>To Point 4:
    There should be a specific sort order, which i have to code in ADF.
    Just to give an overview:
    Colum1 and Column2 (nothing to do with the emp table) have relationship. Several hierachies are existing in the Query Result.
    For identifying the start point of any of these hierachies, i have to iterate through the Query Result and fetch these start point
    and buffer it in an array or something like that.So in the end i have to get the same query Result but with different Sort Order.
    How to buffer theses Rows (Array?) and show in a View Object?
    Can we use the same view Object for solving that, or should we use another View Object which catches the new Result Set?
    To Point 5:
    The Result should be, as mentioned above, a View Object including new Result Set, which can provide standard behavior (sort, filter)
    I hope the requirement is defined clearly enough, so maybe you can make some suggestions on that.
    Thank you for replies.
    Edited by: user9198377 on 13.07.2011 02:52

    Hi.. You can do this without DB View. Have CalcCol transient attribute in VO. Instead of iterating VO rows and setting CalcCol attr, generate View Row Impl class. Inside getCalcCol(), write your logic. This will be called during each and every request so that transient attr data won't become null during sorting and filtering. If your VO is entity driven, do the same in Entity impl class

  • 5G click wheel MIDDLE BUTTON STUCK!!!

    WOW. i mean i just got my new 60GB black video ipod from the store.
    i played with it a bit after transfering all my data onto it.
    then the middle button got stuck inside!
    its surrounded by the click wheel, and its sunken in.
    i have tried to push it back up anyway i could find, but using needles is hard. and it's screwing my brand new ipod, which looks bad right now.
    i am too **** far to go back to the store now... [really far!]
    never heard of this problem... any ideas ???

    Actually you are not the first. The same thing happened to my 4th generation 20gig. About 7 months after I got it. The middle button still worked but was stuck down. It caused some stange behaviors when I would navigate the iPod and when I finally got tired of dealing with it I took it to the Apple Store and they replaced it on the spot. As long as it's still covered don't mess with it, just bring it back.

  • Changed my own battery

    Well, I tried to fight it, but I wound up buying an Ipod battery off of eBay for a penny and changed my crappy battery myself. Ya know what folks? It was easy.
    I now, however, see why Apple doesn't want you to open your Ipod. Here's two reasons:
    1) It can blemish the outer casing. The tools I used, although gentle, did make a little nick in the plastic casing (on top and bottom of the unit).
    2) The assembly of the mini and the way it's put together is CHEAP, and I guess Apple doesn't want you to see that part of it. I'm always impressed to see high end electronics put together with double stick tape, but if they used something that was a little more permanant, the unit would cost even more. Ah well.. thank god for "Made in China."
    But, in any case, if your IPOD Mini battery dies, replace it yourself if its out of warranty. If you, like me, have no idea on how to change the battery, look on CNET.com. Theres a great video on there that walks you through the whole thing.
    Good luck.

    When I was setting up my parents' macmini, I put the 2.4 GHz wireless mouse/keyboard receiver right next to the 2.4 GHz router.  Stange behaviors then.
    I move the receiver to be several feet from the router, and it got better.
    No guarantee, but a thought.
