Stuck on adding a new layer

I am using the trial version of cs6 and when ever I trie to add a second layer for text it throws me back to the first layer.. I have committed changes before I thy to work on the new layer..what am I doing wrong?

You definitely have the Type tool selected from the Tools panel? As JJ says, with that being the case, just click anywhere in your document should start a new text layer.

Adding a new layer at the beginning

I have created a flash file with 5 pictures, i wish to add a additional picture at the beginning (not the end) of the time line.
Is there an easy way to insert this new image and move all the other images down along the time line so the new immage apopears first?

Hi ,
In order to implement the appropriate moves you have to use the key combinations : 1) <shift>+<ctrl>+'<' for deletion of the current list item(where the cursor is located)
2)<shift>+<ctrl>+'>' for appending a blank row in order to add a new element...

Issue adding a new column to OBIEE presentation layer

Hi,
I am pretty new to OBIEE so this may be a silly question. I am facing some problems trying to add a new column from a physical table the OBIEE presentation layer.
Below are the steps I followed:
Task: add a product category set to the presentation layer.
Steps:
1) First verified that the product category set is being populated in the W_PROD_CAT_DH table in the datawarehouse. this was done by running the following sql
SELECT W_PROD_CAT_DH.TOP_LVL_PRODCAT_NAME
FROM W_PROD_CAT_DH, W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D
WHERE W_PROD_CAT_DH.integration_id = W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D.INV_PROD_CAT1
This sql gave the right category value.
2) created a "Alias" of the table W_PROD_CAT_DH in the OBIEE Admin tool physical layer. (done by right clicking W_PROD_CAT_DH >>New Object>> Alias)
3) named the Alias of W_PROD_CAT_DH as "Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT" and created a key of the alias named "integration id" on the column "integration_id"
4) opened the pre-existing alias of W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D the alias was called "Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" and added a key called "MKT_CAT" on the column "INV_PROD_CAT1" in this alias (Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D of the table W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D)
5) in the alias of the "W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" called "Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" added a "Foreign Keys" the expression of the key is following: ("Oracle Data Warehouse"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT"."INTEGRATION_ID" = "Oracle Data Warehouse"."Catalog"."dbo"."Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D"."INV_PROD_CAT1")
Logical layer
6) Opened the existing logical folder called "Dim - Inventory Product" and clicked on "Sources" tab then double clicked the source "Dim_W_INVENTORY_PRODUCT_D" and added a new mapping under "Map to these tables" under "General" tab. The column that was added was the physical alias "Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT"
7) added a new column mapping to the same logical table source (Dim_W_Inventory_PRODUCT_D) this new mapping was a column from the alias "Dim_W_INV_MKT_CAT" (column name "TOP_LVL_PRODCAT_NAME")
Presentation Layer
8) dragged the newly added column (TOP_LVL_PRODCAT_NAME) from the logical layer "Dim - Inventory Product" to the presentation layer "Product" folder.
ISSUE
after adding everything and checking global consistency and save and checking-in my work when i login from the front end presentation services. I see the newly added column is showing under the "Product" folder. on dragging the column by itself to the Ad-Hoc analysis I can see the different values of the category. On adding a second column from the same logical folder (Dim - Inventory Product in logical layer) i still see the right product name and corresponding category. BUT when I drag any other column from any other folder (such as "Day" from "Time" or any fact values) the result does not fetch any data (message: The specified criteria didn't result in any data.)
I am not sure if I am missing any step but I know I am mapping the new table alias to the inventory_product_d since i see right results on creating analysis of columns in those two folders. but no other folders give me any data.
I also know that the logical folder "Dim - Inventory Product" is joined with other tables as I can see results when i do not add the newly added catagory column but other folder and other columns of "Dim - Inventory Product"
I would really appreciate any insight to this very much. we are using OBIEE 11.1.1.6 with the Oracle 11.5.10 Adaptor (SDE_ORA11510_Adopter)
I will try to upload some screenshots if needed but presently not sure if its something really simple.

Hi Prassu,
thanks for the responce. and Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
1) 1.First of all set the logging level to 3 in the admin tool save it.
You can get the SQL query from here

CS4 - New layer won't show added color overlay, gradient, patterns?

I'm using CS4 Extended for a few years... its been working fine but all of a sudden my layers are blank? I've tried Google but can't find a solution. Started a new graphic for a label using a 300dpi resolution, 23.250" inches wide and 2.500" high. Filled it with Black, then attempted to create a new layer to create a semi-transparent pattern above the black. It shows up in the layers column but the actual new layer doesn't show up on the artwork workspace. I can add text in color as a new layer, but the pattern layer doesn't show. Went and tried using an existing file... old layers work fine, but try to add any new layer other than text and it doesn't show. I know this is something dumb that I somehow clicked on and I'll kick myself when somebody tells me to check.... whatever LOL.
Thanks in advance and don't laugh.

Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

Adding text as a *filter*, not a new layer.

Hi there. Anyone know if there is a filter out there that allows me to add a bit of text to a shot as a filter, rather than having to use the Text generator and use a new layer?
I'm thinking of something along the lines of the Timecode generator filter or 'Viewfinder' filter, but just for text and without the numbers/viewfinder frame. I just want to add static text to a whole bunch of shots without needing to go to a new layer or messing around with nesting. TIA.

Issues with Writing back data to Planning Cube After adding a new characterstic

Hello,
We have two cubes and a MP on top of it. ( Reporting Cube and Planning Cube ). An aggregation layer has also been built and so does a planning BEx query on top of it.
Before Scenario: things were working fine as we were able to write back data to planning cube using the BEx.
After Scenario: We created a new Dimension in the planning cube and added a new characteristic ( lets call it ZX_KEY ) . This Characteristic holds the concatenated values of some of the other characteristics in its master data tables . ( For ex: Account_Customer ID_Country-code_Industry-code ).
This new characteristic is also present in the reporting cube and has been added and transferred to MP.
This new characterstic was added to the planning BEx query as one of the rows and we executed it the analyzer. After entering the required values for all characterstics ( including the newly added ZX_KEY ) and the key figure values, we tried saving it. Now this is where the Analyzer is throwing up this error..
~~Characterstic combination cannot be assigned to part provider ~~
~~Characterstic 'ZX_KEY'; Characterstic value 'R123000000_12_US_TX'~~
~~ Entered values are incorrect:Correct before navigation ~~
The value that we are entering ( R123000000_12_US_TX ) is picked up from the master data table of ZX_KEY by double clicking and selecting it from the fetched values. So i am not sure as to why its throwing up the above error. Request your help on this please.
regards,
Karthik

Hi,
Try to check that all characteristics are correctly assigned at multiprovider level.
hope it helps

Adding a new field in searh and result [ comb of 2 other fields ]

Hi ,
I have to add a new field in Opportunity Search and later OpportunitySearch Result. This field belongs to Opportunity Details -> parties Involved view , and is a combination of 2 fields there..Partner function and Main Partner (unchecked ). Details are as below..
Can you please suggest easiest way for achieving this..
Details of the Opportunity Search where I need to add a new search field
Component : BT111S_OPPT
Context Node : SEARCH
View : BT111S_OPPT/Search
Details of the new search field (Present In the Opportunity Details, there is a viewset for Parties Involved ) ..The new search field should be Employee Responsible but not the Main Partner ( kind of a substitute OR Secondary Employee Responsible )..2 employee responsible is permitted in partner determination..
Component : BTPartner
Context Node: BTPartner
View : BTPartner/Partner
Attribute : Partner_fct
Generic Object Type = 1Order
+
Component : BTPartner
Context Node : BTPartner
View : BTPartner/ Partner
Attribute: MainPartner ( Not checked = 0 )
Is there a simpler way without coding to achieve the above?
The route that we have thought of is ...Let me know if there is an alternate simpler way...and If I am missing anything
1.Create a custom field using EEWB ( I am not well aware of AET, and not aware how to enable this in our
environment as we upgraded to 7.0 recently ) For CRM Opportunity Transaction Type.
2.This will be linked to the table CRMD_ORDERADM_H and the related structure
3.Ask the technical team to populate this field from structure COM_DYNP_PARTNER_UI-PARTNER_FCT and COM_DYNP_PARTNER_UI-MAINPARTNER = 0 [(In Transaction crmd_order F1 on employee responsible points to structure COM_DYNP_PARTNER_UI and Mainpartner is a Boolean and hence main partner = 0 means that it is not the main partner ).
4.Add the same field in the search-result as well.
Thanks.
Regards,
Monica.

Hello,
I have looked at wiki below [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/Howtoaddanexistingfieldtoasearchpageofadifferent+component]
Kindly suggest ways to acheive adding new field in Opportunity Search ( employee responsible which is not the main contact like I mentioned ) which belongs to another component ...Can it be done without coding eg. adding to design layer.
Can you please give steps to do the same.

Add a New Layer As a Last Layer

Hi Friends,
How to Add a New Layer As a Last Layer in indesign scripting.
If the Document has 5 layers in the sense,the newly added Layer should be the 6th Layer.
Please Give ideas.

Adding a layer to a set of five will automatically make this the 6th. I cannot see any other way.

Create new layer after active layer

Using scriptlistener I can create a new layer called "newlayer" after the active layer. So far so good.
var id197 = charIDToTypeID( "Mk " );
var desc49 = new ActionDescriptor();
var id198 = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
var ref41 = new ActionReference();
var id199 = charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " );
ref41.putClass( id199 );
desc49.putReference( id198, ref41 );
var id200 = charIDToTypeID( "Usng" );
var desc50 = new ActionDescriptor();
var id201 = charIDToTypeID( "Nm " );
desc50.putString( id201, "newlayer" );
var id202 = charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " );
desc49.putObject( id200, id202, desc50 );
executeAction( id197, desc49, DialogModes.NO );
However, without the script listener we have
var layerRef = app.activeDocument.artLayers.add()
layerRef.name = newlayername
layerRef.blendMode = BlendMode.NORMAL
// Move the new layer after the current layer
layerRef.moveAfter(app.activeDocument.artLayers[layerIndex])
The moveAfter command needs an index, which would mean looping though all the layers till to find the active layer (since we can't access that throughthe DOM). This seems a bit long winded to me. Or am I missing a trick here?

Well I would just use the scriptlistener code but if you don't want to for some reason you should make a reference to the activeLayer before add the new layer. Then use that reference as the moveAfter argument. The moveAfter method needs a layer object not a layer index. You need the index only because you are trying to supply that layer object by index.
layerRef.moveAfter(someLayerRef);
Also ( not that it really matters ) when scripting was first added there were several methods for moving a layer, moveAfter() was one of those. Those methods were combined into one method and the old methods are no longer documented in the javascript reference. So below is the documented way to move the layer.
layerRef.move(someLayerRef, ElementPlacement.PLACEAFTER);

Cookie cutter image in new layer disappears

I have a background graphic. To that I added a couple rectangles in separate laters, then text in more layers that went onto the rectangles. Afterward, I wanted an arrow shape. Easy enough.
Click NEW LAYER
Cookie Cutter
Select the arrow type
Drag it into the right shape
Click the green checkmark to ok.
Whamo, it disappears, both from the page and the layer palette.

Here are the tools showing up on my screen:
Move tool
Zoom
Hand
Eyedropper
Rectangular Marquee
Lasso
Magic Wand
Quick Selection
Horizontal Type
Recompose
Cookie Cutter
Straighten
Red Eye Removal
Spot Healing Brush
Clone Stamp
Eraser
Brush
Smart Brush
Paint Bucket
I don't see either a Line Tool or Custom Shape Tool in that location. It must be elsewhere, or perhaps inside one of those listed?

IdeaPad S205: BIOS/EFI menu not accessible after adding a new boot entry using the bcfg command

Hi community,
I just got a new S205 and wanted to install Win7 and archlinux in dual boot (GPT formatted SSD).
Win7 installation worked like a charm. Archlinux worked well aswell, unfortunately i couldn't make a boot entry following this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide#EFISTUB
So i had to manually create the boot entry using bcfg command in an efi shell:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface#bcfg
The first attempt (I double checked that i got the right filesystem [fs0] and so on) failed and resulted in an automatic reboot. After this I immediately reentered the efi shell and tried again. This time I could create the boot entry.
Now if I reboot everything seems fine (I can dual boot Win and arch) BUT I cannot access BIOS/EFI menu via F2 anymore. It seems like it just does not exist anymore. How do I get it back? Should I just flash over with the original EFI from the Lenovo download page? I could theoretically do that (I can still change boot order using my arch live medium), but i could not reset EFI prior to flashing... which is always recommended to do.
So I am - again - pretty stuck with this EFI. I hope you can help and tell me what to do.
This EFI-Implementation on the S205 must be the worst piece of "engineering" ever.
Nothing works the way it is intended to... I would not dare to wash my hands clean off any faults, but ADDING a boot entry resulting in a not accessible BIOS/EFI menu... there's just something wrong.

At least I now know what the problem is:
It seems like the S205 can only keep 7 boot entries in NVRAM (Can anybody concern?).
As I already have 7 boot entries:
adding a new entry using efibootmgr tool does not work (fails without error) and gummiboot doesn't work either. Nevertheless, adding a boot entry (for rEFInd) from within the UEFI shell works, but seems to result in deleting "Boot0000" aka Setup which then breaks my EFI. Breaking meaning that I cannot access it anymore.
I can however (and did so twice yesterday) flash the original EFI from within Windows and thus gain access to the EFI menu again. Nevertheless this resets my boot entries again so the refind (or gummiboot) bootloader gets deleted again and only Win7 is bootable.
Now what would be the smartest way to dual boot this system? Which of the boot entries is safe to delete so i could install refind/gummiboot instead? For instance, I don't know where USB FDD and USB CD come from. Can I delete them? Or won't I be able to boot from external CD-ROM or USB drive anymore if I delete them?
Or would it be best to delete the Win7 bootloader and try to have refind/gummiboot boot it? And will they at all be able to still find the Win7 boot files once I deleted Win7's boot entry? When I install refind as bootloader and manually add an boot entry for it using the bcfg boot add command it is able to load Windows7. But will this still be possible if I delete the Win7 boot entry? It would most likely be possible - I assume - if the Win7 boot files (on the EFI system partition) were still there even after deleting the boot entry. Can someone tell me how deleting a boot entry exactly works and which files get or don't get deleted?
Best regards.

Error while adding a new col with check constriant

Hello
I tried adding a new column with check constraint but giving the error please correct me..
drop table testchk
create table testchk(typenm varchar2(5))
insert into testchk values('mon')
alter table testchk add typechk varchar2(5) default 'both' constraint chk_test check(typechk in('m','d') and typechk is not null)For the alter comman getting the ORA-02293 cannot validate error..
I dont want to create any other constriant like not null etc .. but need only one check constriant
Thanks

You cannot assign a default value = 'both' while the constraint allows only 'm' or 'd'.
This will work:
ALTER TABLE testchk ADD typechk VARCHAR2(5) DEFAULT 'both'
CONSTRAINT chk_test CHECK(typechk IN('m','d', 'both') AND typechk IS NOT NULL);Edited by: kordirko on 2010-05-14 18:41

Error while adding a new method to the Session Bean

Hello everyone. I'm using jdev 11g, ejb, jpa & jsf. Everything works fine. But when I try to add a custom method to the Session Bean, I'm having an error.
Here is my steps:
1) I added a new method to SessionBean.java. Something like this:
public void Hello() {
System.out.println("Hello!");
2) Then using Structure palette I exposed this method through Local interface and created data control
3) Finally, I made a command button binded to this method (just droped it from DataControls.dcx to my page)
When I start the page and click the button, I'm having the following error:

I've droped the method from the Data Controls panel

Hi,
Have you tried Cancelling the release before adding the version?
Select the active version of the IDOC Segment and cancel its release first. Only then you will be able to add a version.
Please let me know if it worked!
