SWF Generation Error

I keep getting the "An error occurred during SWF generation" when exporting my file. I originally built the template in the 2008 trial version and it worked great, now that I have have the full version I am rebuilding as it was not compatible. I do not have any Excel add-ins loaded. I found if I added 1 component at a time, save file, close flie then reopen it was working but now I can't even do that. Any thoughts?

are you It could be due to large number of bindings i.e. too much data in Excel spreadsheet if not then i guess you have to start building it again from scratch

An error has occurred during SWF generation.

Hello
We are receiving the error message "An error has occurred during SWF generation. Please contact the file creator or your system administrator" while trying to publish a dashboard to the BO server. But we haven't been able to assure the client what's causing the problem.
Here is some background about the dashboard and the error:
- It does not contain any unsupported formulas.
- It contains about 3,000 rows distributed on different tabs.
The error appears to happen randomly. I have succesfully exported the swf file locally (on my computer) a couple of times. Using the preview button also works sometimes, but when we try tu publish we get the error. We also have other dashboards, and publishing them works fine with them.
I think this might be a resources issue, the computer from which we are trying to publish has 2GB in RAM, and although it doesn't seem to be consuming all memory when trying to publish, it looks pretty close to do so.
I've succesfully deployed the swf file on locally on an other computer that has 8GB in RAM, but it is not in domain, so I cannot publish from there, and due to company's policy we cannot copy the swf files directly to the server.
I'm looking for help on the error, or for an explanation on what does Xcelsius do when generating the swf, for the tests I've run I would say it is a resources problem but I don't have a way to support this.

Hi,
You can try to reduce the size and complexity in excel.
Just export your excel to local machine, open and save it again reimport the same excel.
By doing so your excel file size will get reduced. (To see the difference record the size when exported from xcelsius and after saving xls).
One more suggestion is try to reduce the complex formulas. All i can say is replace the Vlookup formulas with Match and Index.
Reduce if more countif() or Sumif() are used.
Last but not least, try to increase flashs buffer size.
Hope this might help you.
If these things are not going to work......... Last option is to increase your machines RAM.

An error occurred during swf generation

Hi I have a spread sheet has quite a lot of formulas in it,
eg..
=COUNTIF()
=COUNT($H$2:$H$65536)-COUNTIF($H:$H,"<51")-COUNTIF($H$2:$H$65536,">60")
=DCOUNTA($A$1:$L$15099,10,M38:N39)
=IF(V18=0,0,IF(V18=1,IF(W18=0,0,IF(W18=1,IF(X18=0,0,IF(X18=1,1))))))
=IF(SUM(V18:W18,$BD18)=3,1,0)
=SUMIF($L$2:$L$65536,BN6,$U$2:$U$65536)
=SUMIF($BC:$BC,$BS2,BE:BE)
all of which seem to be supported in xcelcius engage 2008 (sp3)
but when i try to preview the dash board I get the "an error occurred during swf generation and so on" error
I have checked all of my addins on excel and disabled them all,
I have checked to see if there is any blue tooth settings in the registry, (all seems ok (none))
Does xcelcius have limitations on file size? My file is 23,852KB
My calculations are based on a maximum of 15000 rows
I'm desperate for some kind of solution as this has now been driving me nuts for 5 days
Steve

DCountA does work! :
I had a similar issue with Xcelsius and DCOUNTA does work! NOTE: DCOUNTA does work, however, it doesnu2019t perform the same way that it does in Excel (which is very confusing). In my case, in excel when I left a criteria cell blank, it would basically omit that criteria. As if to say in SQL (Considering fields County, Industry and Class)
Select * From Table Where County = Wicomico, MD AND Industry = Retail
However, once compiled as an SWF it was as if it were saying:
Select * From Table Where County = Wicomico, MD AND Industry = Retail AND Class = u201Cu201D
Sou2026to make it work you must use the WILDCARD Operator * in the criteria cell to indicate ALL.
Select * From Table Where County = Wicomico, MD AND Industry = Retail AND Class = *
And it worksu2026
See a modified example dashboard of the difference between * and u201Cu201D at: http://staff.salisbury.edu/~jrgarrity/dcounta.swf

SAP System Message: Syntx error or generation error in a screen

dear sap basis gurus,
i am currently having problems signing on to our DEV server. i get this error message:
<SID>: SAP System Message
Syntx error or generation error in a screen.
it won't let me log on.
there were no changes made on the server (i.e., profile parameters) lately. it was working really fine after our support package level upgrade about 5 months ago.
have you encountered this problem before? please help me as there we have two imminent go-lives.
thank you very much in advance.
best regards,
albert

hello nick, ashok,
thank you very much for your responses.
i have already resolved this issue by just freeing up some space from our disks. not one of them was full though.
i hope i would no longer encounter the error message.
again, thank you.

Report Painter GR214 generation error - Short dump 4.6C

While generating a report with more than twenty sections, the system short dumps with the error message GR214 pointing to "MESSAGE_TYPE_X"
"%_T01JR0 " or "########################################"
"INSERT_ROW_FORMULA_NEW"
Any leads to fix this?
The generation error happens only when I include a last line formula in the last section, Till then it is working fine.

Hi,
The error you are receiving could be caused by a large number of row blocks in your report definition, (you can check the report definition with report RGRRDC00). A report should not contain too many row and column blocks. It is not possible to give an upper bound for the number of row blocks (since the length of the coding depends on other parts of the report as well). However, even a complicated Report Writer or Report Painter report should not contain more than 50 row blocks, and reports with more than 100 row blocks should not be defined.
In this case the report(s) have to be redefined. Please also refer to the note 387916 for further information regarding this issue.
When there are more than 30 variables in a report, please have a look at the note 332091.
Please reduce the number of row blocks in the report by using the function 'Edit' -> 'Rows' -> 'Explode' in the Report Painter
definition. This function enables several rows to be created for one row block (in the Report Painter definition one row block is just one row). Report Painter (and Report Writer) are designed to display hierarchical reports where the rows in the few row blocks are built up using the 'Explode' function.
regards
Waman

Smartform report generation error

Hi,
I have a problem with a report calling a smartform. The report works perfectly on the 1 system but on the other system there is a generation error. I found that the problem lies with the following declaration:
data: otf_info type SSFCRESCL.
I compared the structures on the different systems and they are identical. The only difference is the Support Package levels. The error occurs on the system with the higher support package - SAPKB64015 (basis and aba) whereas the other system is still at level 12 (SAPKB64012).
Any ideas what is causing the generation error and what could be done to fix it?
Regards
Liza-Marie

Hi ,
I think there may be some errors in function group errors.
Try the following :
T/Code : SMARTFORMSEnter the name of the form> Test--> This will leads to function module --> Utilities(Menubar)-=-> Repair function group --> Repair.
After repairing the function group --> Save and Activate.
Then transport the Smartform to other system .

SID generation error

Hi All,
I am loading data for Sales Item for this i have enhanced the DataSource. Now while i am loading the data to DSO it is giving error while activating the DSO--SID generation error as it found some hex. values.
To overcome this i tried with TOUPPER formula for that field but still it is giving error. So i have removed unchecked the check box 'SID generation upon activation' as i am not going to use this DSO for reporting.
But i am transferring data to InfoCube where again it is giving the same error.
Kindly help me out to overcome this error.

Hi
Always Load Master Data before Transaction data to get rid of SID Generation Error.
And Hex Values FM -- CHAR_HEX_CONVERSION.

Generation Error - when trying to publish a Java web service

Hi All,
I keep getting the following Generation Error -- java.util.NoSuchElementException_ when I'm trying to create a Java Web Service using the jdeveloper wizard.
I have 2 entities and 2 stateless session beans acting as their facades. One entity has a One-One(FK) relationship with the other entity. I test out the entities and session beans using the test client and the OC4J embedded container and everything seems to work. When I try to generate a Java WebService from one of the entities I keep getting the "Generation Error". Could someone please provide me with some insight into why I'm facing this problem, because it seemed fine when I published J2EE web services previously and now this happens and I cant seem to publish web services anymore. Everytime I keep getting the same GenerationError. Thanks in advance.

Without going into any technical discussion about the code, my first question is what JDK version was used to create this which was imported into the form? Understand that Forms 10 runs on JDK 1.4.2, so if you used any newer JDK version, likely there will be problems.

Generation error during WebDynpro migration from 7.0 to 7.31

Hello everybody!
We are trying to migrate some WebDynpro DCs to NW 7.31. After checking in the old sca file into the new track, synching the DCs in NWDS and creating projects for them, most of the DCs compile ok, but we get a build error in one WebDynpro DC we are not able to resolve.
The build.log shows

So far, everything I could find is pointing to some localisation issue, but I'm not able to solve the problem. Some hints say I'd have to change the language settings of the DC (or SC) upon import, but I never saw anything that gave me an opportunity to do so. On the other hand, other WebDynpro DCs in the same track get imported o. k. and compile without any error.
The other thing I see in this WebDynpro DC is that in some views, all GUI element texts are missing, some views are o. k.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue ?
Thanks
Michael

Ok, I can provide some more information:
In the WebDynpro DC's .dcdef file, I changed
<properties>
<localization xmlns="http://xml.sap.com/2003/06/Localization" xmlns:ns0="http://xml.sap.com/2003/06/Localization">
   <domain>BC</domain>
   <originalLocale>en</originalLocale>
</localization>
<minimizeClassFiles xmlns="http://xml.sap.com/2004/07/DCProperties/WebDynpro" xmlns:pns1="http://xml.sap.com/2004/07/DCProperties/WebDynpro">auto</minimizeClassFiles>
<projectVersion xmlns="http://xml.sap.com/2004/07/DCProperties/WebDynpro">1</projectVersion>
</properties>
to
<properties>
<localization xmlns="http://xml.sap.com/2003/06/Localization" xmlns:ns0="http://xml.sap.com/2003/06/Localization">
   <domain>BC</domain>
   <originalLocale>de</originalLocale>
</localization>
<minimizeClassFiles xmlns="http://xml.sap.com/2004/07/DCProperties/WebDynpro" xmlns:pns1="http://xml.sap.com/2004/07/DCProperties/WebDynpro">auto</minimizeClassFiles>
<projectVersion xmlns="http://xml.sap.com/2004/07/DCProperties/WebDynpro">1</projectVersion>
</properties>
After that, the views with previously missing GUI texts were showing these texts inside the NWDS WebDynpro view editor, and those views that did previously show these text didn't show them any more! So there seems to be some discrepancy regarding the language the views were created in.
Any hint on what files have to be changed in what way to either remove internationalization completely or to set all views to a single language ?
Thanks
Michael

Content generation error. Failed to open the InDesign file.

Hey all -
In importing an article to a folio, I just received this error:
"Content generation error.
Failed to open the InDesign file. Please confirm the file can be opened in InDesign."
The file is open right now in InDesign. I can close it and reopen it with no errors.
I've tried resaving the article to a new file. No help.
I tried creating a new folio and importing the article there. No help.
All links are good. It's a simple file with images, a scrolling pane, and some buttons that link to other articles.
Anyone else run into this problem? Any solutions?
Thanks!

Im getting this error also....?
Want to avoid inporting each artical on at a time. Need to import multiple articals at once.
Thanks.

"Content generation error. Failed to Export the PDF file"

Building a multi-folio in InDesign 6 Folio Builder V30. Received "Content generation error. Failed to Export the PDF file" on several of the spreads. I have tried reducing the original pdf files sizes, but that did not help.
Any suggestions on other possible causes or way to fix.?
thanks

I'm very new to DPS so I hope the following description makes some kind of sense.
My magazine is in the process of doing trial runs for an iPad edition. I'm setting some templates up for us to work off so the process from magazine to iPad will run a lot smoother month to month.
So far I've set up some dummy stock pages in an InDesign CS6 document, currently 15 pages long.
All images are linked and all fonts have paragraph styles applied to them.
I'm at the stage I want to check the document on my iPad to test run font sizes and their legibility.
We have successfully been able to export the document as a jpg file but we really need the PDF format. When attempting this we get the above message.
