We have applied hotfix 421 before the holiday  - that includes the Performance fix.  Wonder if anyone else has and can share experience with it?  For us, the expand, collapse, scroll on JAC and Job Definition paneldoes feel faster.
However, we have experienced twice already  that  one of our CMs will just stop working since applying this patch - and what I mean by not working is that you get the login prompt then the interface with everything else blank, as shown below:
Thats it, I wait 5 minutes in case it it just delayed but it stays blank like this.  Anyone else experience this on hotfix 421 or above?  I have had to bounce the CM on the affected server to get it workng again.
It is possible that it is specific to our site/configuration or fail on my end applying patch - my logging is very sparse so I cannot really see anything obvious from going over CM and plugin logs, as well as the logs from within the web interface.  Its just strange that this only started happening to us after the new patch.
Will log a case with support.

  • Where is an IP Webinar Link?

    Hello,
    I have been searching for awhile here in SDN trying to find a webinar for Integrated Planning.  We are considering using IP now that we are upgraded to BI 7.0. 
    Does anyone have a link or know of a site that has an IP Webinar so that we can sit through it and get a high level understanding of what it offers?
    Thanks in advance, and I apologize if this topic has been asked before.  I just cannot seem to find it.

    Hi Brent,
    There are a couple of webinars you might want to look up:

  • I receive a "close firefox" message when trying to open the browser. I have reviewed task manager and no firefox applications are open. I have even uninstalled Firefox and, after reinstall, the same message appears (I did retain preferences).

    Program was working fine. I attempted to open a webinar link from a known source. There is now no way to re-open Firefox or access any on my programs. After the uninstall, I did retain preferences. If I have to erase everything, I really do not see any value in continueing to use the program

    There are various causes for this error, see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]] for details.

  • Is vmware supported for production environment ?

    Hi All,
    Is vmware supported for production environment ?
    Thanks
    Sunny

    All,
    I'm glad someone has outlined the clear support statement that has existed for sometime between VMware - SAP.  For those of you still running on Oracle, here is some good news:
    Wording towards SAP Customers requesting support:
    "Oracle, VMware and SAP are working collaboratively to ensure support for SAP customers that use VMware virtualization for SAP solutions running Oracle DB. Functional tests are currently being performed to verify supportability of the SAP&Oracle stack.  Details will be made available in SAP note 1173954 u201CSupport of Oracle for VMwareu201D after tests have been completed. It is expected that in Q1 2010, ESX 3.5 and later releases including vSphere 4 will be supported by Oracle and SAP according to Oracleu2019s metalink note 249212."
    There is no reason why x86 platform today cannot run the most demanding workloads on VMware vSphere in a production environment.  But has noted earlier, don't get hung up on "production" - you have heaps of TestDev, SolMan TestDev, sandboxes, gateways, application servers etc that should immediately by put into a VM - once you are comfortable with your solution in-house, I'm sure you will move production instances into a VM as well.

  • How do I link to an Adobe Connect webinar recording?

    What is the correct procedure for linking to a recorded Adobe Connect webinar from within Captivate 6? We have a URL to the webinar we did but it does not work using the video link tools in Captivate 6.

    hi carlozezza,
    here's how i do it:
    • create your button. This can be anything form text, graphic, image to a photoshop .psd
    • on the second line of tools at the top of your muse document, look for "Hyperlinks:" this is in blue to indicate it's a drop down menu
    • on it's drop down, select "Open link in a new browser or tab" this will make it easy for people to get back your website
    • next to the "Hyperlinks:" the is a field that says "Add or filter links"
    • type in your external website URL address in that field
    • note, it must have the http:// befor the URL to work
    hope this helps

  • Link to webinar only got as far as homepage

    Was given a link in an email for a webinar. Safari on my iPad said page couldn't be found.  Never made the webinar.  Help please.

    Clairecommunicator were you trying to attend an Adobe Connect meeting?  If the link is not working you will probably want to contact the meeting host.  Also if you are trying to access a Connect meeting on your iPad you would want to utilize the Adobe Connect application for iOS.

  • Having some problems with links

    OK, I've used this way of doing this for a while, but recently I started having trouble with getting this to work.
    I have a site with a link to the organization's current newsletter.  I have a "previous page" link so that you can go back to the page you came from in the main site.  The newsletter opens up in it's own blank page.  This link no longer works and I have no idea why.
    This is the code that is supposed to make this link work:  <a href="javascript:history.go(-1);">Previous Page</a>
    The second part of the problem involves the left sidebar links which are named achor links for within the newsletter page.  In the newsletter there are usually Program Recap articles which usually include a link to a separate page of event photos.  The page has the same sidebar links to the named anchors.  I used to be able to have these go back to the newsletter page to that named anchor.  But now I can't seem to make them work.
    What I've done in the past is to link back to the newsletter and at the end of this link to the page add the named anchor link like this:
    1112Visions_Iss1.html/#prezmessage
    Sometimes this works and sometimes not.  The problems don't end there.  Some of these links render the newsletter page with the photos some of the links go to a page that doesn't show the links.  At this point I have re-done all of the links, I have rebooted both Dreamweaver and Firefox and it just keeps doing the same thing.  I'm just baffled by this.
    I'll post the code for both pages in the hopes that someone can tell me what is not right and how to make this work.
    Here is the code for the newsletter's main page:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

        <h2> <a name="prezmessage" id="prezmessage"></a>President&#8217;s Message</h2>
        <p><strong><img src="../images/Susan-Flaherty-photo.jpg" alt="Susan Flaherty" width="145" height="159" class="fltlft" />Dear Fellow HFMA Members,</strong></p>
        <p>Welcome to the 2011-2012 HFMA fiscal year. Thank you for your continued membership and support of HFMA.  I look forward to working with the members, the board of directors, and officers during the upcoming year to continue the success of the Northeast Ohio Chapter.  </p>
        <p>Speaking of success – I attended the HFMA Annual National Institute in June 2011 and was proud to be from the Northeast Ohio Chapter. Our Chapter won three awards – Gold Award for Membership Growth and Retention, Hottum Award for Education Performance Improvement, and a Yerger Special <img src="../images/Manfull_ANI_DSC_0027.jpg" width="200" height="200" align="top" class="fltrt" />Recognition Award for the February 2011 Patient Financial Services Program.  In addition, the Northeast Ohio Chapter had two of the three winners of the National HFMA Future Financial Leaders Award. The award recognizes those future leaders who provide innovative and exemplary performance resulting in organizational performance improvement. Congratulations to Jill Barber and Kelly Linson from Southwest Community Health System for receiving this award. Finally, as many of you know, National HFMA has performance targets relating to education, membership, certification, financial strength, and other matters for all chapters. Our Chapter achieved 100% during this last fiscal year in meeting these targets. While it is important to celebrate our past successes, I and the other chapter leaders realize that we are taking on a big responsibility to maintain this level of excellence. We will need the continued support and participation of the membership to ensure we continue to achieve this level of success.</p>
        <p>As part of planning for the upcoming year, the Chapter officers had the opportunity to meet the National HFMA Chair, Gregory M. Adams, FHFMA. His theme for the fiscal year is “Believe to Achieve.” Following is an excerpt of his comments and explanation of the theme. In health care today, it sometimes seems like we are being asked to do the impossible. The industry is preparing for an influx of millions of newly insured patients in a reform environment where payments are shrinking and expectations around quality are growing. &quot;Believe to Achieve&quot; encompasses the keys to success in this new environment. It reflects the need to believe in your organization's mission and in others who share your dedication to achieving that mission. It means believing in yourself and in your ability to step out of your comfort zone into the new roles and responsibilities required to succeed in the reform era. Last but not least, it means believing in the possibility of a better future. In health care, there have always been naysayers who believe that the problems of the day are just too difficult to overcome. Their voices have been particularly loud, of late. But you can choose to believe that a better future is within reach, and to dedicate your professional life to making that happen. You can only achieve what you believe. </p>
        <p>Finally, I want to thank all of you who volunteered your time to Chapter activities over the past year. The fact that you chose to devote part of your time to HFMA indicates the value you perceive in your membership. The strength of any chapter lies in its volunteers. I hope you are able to attend the annual volunteer appreciation outing on August 31, 2011 to celebrate the successes of our Chapter, hear presentations on relevant industry topics, and enjoy a networking round of golf or visit to the spa. We are always looking for members to get involved and continue the long tradition of volunteer service that has been a hallmark of our Chapter for many years. Please don't hesitate to contact me, one of the other Chapter officers or directors, or a committee chair if you are interested in volunteering. </p>
    I look forward to a great year and hope to see you at an upcoming HFMA event.
    <p>Sincerely,</p>
    <p>Susan Flaherty<br />
      President<br />
      Northeast Ohio Chapter of HFMA    </p>

        <h2><strong><a name="certification" id="certification"></a>CHFP Assistance Program</strong></h2>
    <p>The North East Ohio Chapter (NEOC) of the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) continues to encourage members to pursue and achieve certification as a Certified Healthcare Financial Professional (CHFP).  </p>
    <p>Many members who successfully pass the exam are eligible for reimbursement from their employers for some portion of the examination fee and/or on-line study material fee. To encourage and assist those members for whom employer reimbursement is not available, the Chapter offers a limited financial award program through the Chair of the Certification Committee. <br />
      <br />
      <strong>Current CHFP Award Program</strong> <br />
      Effective June 1, 2011, the NEO HFMA Chapter Board has approved annual funding for a maximum of 5 awards of $200.00 each for successful completion of the CHFP exam.  NEO HFMA members who have successfully completed the CHFP exam on or after June 1, 2011 and who will NOT be reimbursed by their employer for any portion of either the examination fee and/or the online study material fee are eligible to apply.  Chapter awards will be issued to the first 5 approved applications.</p>
    <p><strong>Reimbursement Application Procedure </strong> <br />
      Upon successful completion of the CHFP exam, a member who will NOT be reimbursed by their employer for any portion of either the examination fee or the on-line study materials may complete and submit an NEO HFMA expense form in application for a financial award.<em>  </em>A copy of the exam result e-mail notification and a release authorizing HFMA National to confirm that the member has passed the exam is required. Application for the award must be made within 8 weeks of receiving exam results. The funds allocated to members will be reviewed annually and is subject to change at the discretion of the Chapter board. </p>

        <h3><strong>2011 GHALI</strong></h3>
        <p><span class="style24">by </span>Lisa Hilling    <span class="style24"><br />
          </span></p>
        <p>The 2011 GHALI was held at the Glenmoor Country Club in Canton, Ohio. This historic and tradition filled site, initally started as a seminary high school for boys preparing for the priesthood.  In addition, this classic gothic building was built during the years 1930-1931 with the first class starting in late October of 1931. The building contains approximately 167,000 square feet. The Wolstein family purchased the 381 acres of land and building in 1989 that many considered to be one of the most desirable tracts in Stark County.  After two years of renovation, the spa portion of the club opened in December of 1991. On July 1, 1992 Jack Nicklaus took part in the gala celebration which opened the golf course. The Grand Opening of the Clubhouse in September of 1992 followed.<br />
          <br />
          Our theme for this year’s event was “Entering the Era of Accountability”.  As a result, the conference included educational sessions led by healthcare industry leaders and a variety of pertinent topics. Highlights included a panel discussion, “How Organizations Develop Vendor Relationships” for which there was standing room only attendance as well as sessions led by prominent professors, politicians and other professionals. Attendees were given opportunities to research products and services present at the vendor booths during vendor fair times and throughout the 2 ½ days. In keeping with tradition, the networking opportunities were abundant, starting out with Wednesday’s always very popular casino night. Thursday’s networking events included your choice of an 18 hole golf scramble, a visit to “The Spa at Glenmoor” or a enjoyable wine tasting event followed by an evening banquet which enable our attendee to sample more of Glenmoor’s fine cuisine. We concluded that evenings events with music, Texas Hold-em and “minute to win-it” activities, as well as entertaining karaoke by our members. <br />
          <br />
        Special thanks to everyone who participated on the GHALI Planning Committee for a job well done. The planning for next year is already underway and we welcome your input. Please make sure to watch for details of next year’s conference so you won’t miss out on everything this event has to offer.</p>

    <h3><strong>Healthcare Hot Topics – Part 1</strong></h3>
    <p>by Brian Nestor</p>
    <p>The Healthcare Hot Topics seminar was held at the beautiful new state-of- the-art Ahuja Medical Center in Beachwood, Ohio on June 23, 2011. The Rosenberg Conference Suite was filled with more than 50 attendees, there to hear about hot topics in healthcare today. <br />
      <br />
    Ahuja President James Benedict welcomed the attendees and talked to the current &amp; future state of the Ahuja Medical Center. He was followed by Gigi Umbel who went over the layout of the hospital and spoke to the challenges as a Finance Director of a new hospital.</p>
    <p> The three healthcare topics covered at this program were:</p>
    <ul>
      <li><em>Challenges of Compliant Research Billing</em> by Katherine Hammerhofer of University Hospitals</li>
      <li><em>Community Benefit – 501r and Schedule H </em> by Keith Hearle of Verite Healthcare Consulting</li>
      <li><em>Auditing Healthcare Entities</em> by Julie Osredkar &amp;  Michelle Stuhler of KPMG</li>

        <p align="left"><strong>Could Automated Hand-Wash Checks Reduce Infections—and Costs?</strong><em>Note: This article originally appeared in HFMA’s Healthcare Cost Containment newsletter (<a href="

    Because I know enough to be dangerous...  I was trying to extend the two outside columns down....  Instead of just using faux columns which I have fixed since I posted the question.
    The other link problem is the left sidebar links.  When you go to the event photos page I have a repeat of the sidebar links that are on the newsletter page.  I used named anchors on the newsletter page to link to the particular article.  From the Event Photos page the links look like this:
    <a href="1112Visions_Iss1.html/#puzzle" target="_self">[Puzzle]</a>
    The problem I am having is that some of these go to the newsletter page and the anchor and some do not (I get an error message saying it  can't find the page).  To add to the problem is that when we choose say the President's Message, when it goes to the newsletter page and the correct anchor, the newsletter page is missing all the links to the graphics... the photos are missing the graphic for the faux columns is missing.  It makes no sense.  When I preview the newsletter page from Dreamweaver everything shows up fine.
    I do not know if all of this is being caused because I haven't posted this stuff to the site or what.  I've tried re-booting both the browser and Dreamweaver, dumping the cache and still the same nonsense.
    Got any ideas?

  • Pavilion dv7 Microphone works, but not when setting up Wima Blackboard Webinar

    Can't get microphone to install for Wimba setup for my Blackboard class webinars. Mic works otherwise. Pavilion dv7 user.

    Here is a link to a document regarding batteries and testing the battery in HP Support Assistant.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00821429&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
    If you don't have HP Support Assistant on your system follow the instructions below to download it:
    Where do I get HP Battery Check?
    You can download the latest version of the HP Battery Check for Windows XP as a single program. Or you can do one of the following download and install it as part of the HP Support Assistant for Vista or Windows 7 for your model; or see HP Support Assistant (English Only) .
    Make sure you have had your ac adapter plugged in to charge the battery for at least 30 min before running the test from Support Assistant to get an accurate result.
    Hope this helps

  • How can I set a button/link that is visible on all slides?

    I want to add a button/link that is automatically visible on all slides (whole project). But it seems it does not work. Any help?

    Hello,
    It depends on your version. I hope you are on CP6 or later. In that case you have two possiblities:
    a shape button on the main master slide (and be sure that all daughter master slides have the objects of the main master slide)
    a shape button on the first slide, timed for the rest of the project.
    More details: Why I like Shape Buttons - Captivate 6! - Captivate blog
    There is also a webinar on demand from Adobe 'Lilybiri's favourite...'

  • Why Doesn't Robohelp 8 Allow Linking of FrameMaker 9 Docs?

    Softwares:
    RoboHelp 8
    FrameMaker 9
    Context Sensitive Help for HTML
    My counterpart in Japan is making HTML Help. I have supplied him with our procedures for completing this task, which includes linking (not importing) FrameMaker docs. He tells me that this is not an option for him. The only files he's able to link are Word documents, and that the FrameMaker option is either greyed out or not there (not sure which one). Therefore, he has no choice but to import the FrameMaker files.
    We're having these discussions because he can't get pagination to work. So is there any chance that not being able to link FrameMaker documents has anything to do with his pagination problems?
    Thanks!

    Yes, that's what I mean - you're ok; they're not, because they're missing the integration provided by the TCS.
    I remember somebody asking RJ Jacques during his FM to RH webinar if you could do linking with the individual products - "no go," he replied.
    Importing works fine (although some weird stuff can pop up if your FM docs consist of a book of books).
