TOC is empty after creation

Hi all, I have a 50+ pages document that I've finished setting styles and formats. Now comes the TOC, Figures, and Tables generation. After setting my TOC and click OK, I get the Loaded Text icon, click, and all I get is the 'Contents' Title and 2 blank lines. What am I doing wrong here? I tried creating the TOC in CS3 and CS4, both yielded the same results.

I got a sample file from the OP, and I've spent the last hour working with it.
I had exactly the same results when trying to create a TOC with the file as it arrived, so I tried exporting to .inx, and no change.
Next I added some new pages and a new text frame and put in some sample text using a few of the existing styles. I was successful in generating a new TOC that had my samples, but not the OP's original text styled with the same styles. I also noticed that my newly created text did not match the style definitions, though it had no overrides.
I deleted and recreated one of the styles, using the original formatted text to define it, then reapplied the style to both the original and my test text. There was no change in fonts.
I tried moving the pages from the test doc to a new document. Still no change in behavior, so I created one more new doc and copied the master pages from the test into it, then copied all page elements from the test doc one page at a time and pasted in place in new pages in the new doc, with the correct masters applied. This required re-threading stories, but is better than starting from scratch.
The incoming text brought the styles it used, so I added a new frame with some test text, and this time the new text appeared the same as the existing text, and when I did a test TOC both the new and old text were included.
My conclusion from all of this is that the original document is corrupt, and that .inx is not sufficient to fix it. Copying the master pages and then the page elements to a new doc looks like it will probably fix it, with some work re-threading and re-creating the TOC styles which will not come in since they aren't used (I presume) elsewhere in the document, but that's based on a very stripped-down test and I don't have any idea what corrupted the original.
Tommy Donovan at Adobe has been collecting corrupt documents for testing, but doesn't make any claims to be able to fix them. You might want to email him. You'll find more info at Fix My Corrupt ID Docs

Workflow is vanishing after creation

Hi,
using MDM 5.5 SP6.
I'm connecting via the rich clients from my desktop pc th the server.
Visio is installed locally.
Visio enhancement / plugin is installed.
I'm just trying to get to know the workflows. So far everything ist fine. Found some nice descriptions and "how-to"s about the topic.
Nevertheless - the problem I came across today puzzles me now for some hours.
How come that some of the workflows (in fact most) disappear after creation?
So what do I do?
- having a validation rule created
- adding a new workflow
- giving name and code and description
- designing the workflow with viso - refering to the validation rule
- rule looks like: start - process - validation - approve - stop
- pressing the save button!
- closing visio
- trying to apply the workflow to some records for testing
- then - the context menu - "add to job" is greyed out - there is no workflow available
- back to the workflow table - "here it is"
- pressing the viso button (the trhee dots)
- visio opens - but empty...
So what do I do wrong?
Is the workflow file supposed to be saved at a special place on my hard drive?
Maybe someone can give a hint...
Thank you in advance
Martin

Hi Martin,
Your Workflow created in MS Visio is not getting saved correctly thats the reason you are not able to run the workflow.
- Try creating a very simple workflow say Start->Process->Stop and then check if you are able to execute the workflow.
- Also make sure you are using the right compatible version of MS Visio ie 2003 with MDM.
- Also refer the below document to check and see taht you have perform the right settings needed.

TOC window empty

In RH9 I'm trying to repair a project after I had modified a couple of folders and filenames outside the project.
I went through several cycles of deleting the cpd file and reediting a couple of .apj, hhk and hhc files. Also deleted the .xpj file to start over with the original .hhp file.
Some may know the hassle one can to to oneself. Anyway, at the moment my TOC window is blank, although the .hhc file contains the structura information I can the hell not get this structure to show in the TOC window.
Could it be that something stubborn is in the .cpd file that I cannot get around? It would be a tedious process to recreate the TOC manually.
So I'd be grateful for any advice.
Christoph

Yes I know it's playing with fire messing with files behind RHs' back. But I have no choice at the moment. I learnt that using fielneames/project names with hyphens, underscores and blanks in them is supposed to be the cause of making MS HTML Help fail.
So I build some sed/grep scripts changing all filenames and filenames in the apj, xpj, hhc,hhk and what not files. It worked on most of the projects, but at the moment I'm stuck with one where the TOC is empty, and it's indeed the TOC window. sorry, I mixed this up in the title.
RoboColum(n): Yes, the names match.
Christoph
Could a moderator perhaps change the title from Index to TOC?
P.S. Got it working again:
False alarm. It's still not working.
Last Info: I got it working by copying back configuration files one after another into the project from a backup
and it works now. Don't know what the actual culprit was but would be fruitless to investigate it further since
I have other burning problems.

Purchase order rate change after creation of gr.

In t- code ME22N PO line item Rate change is possible after creation of GR against that line item.
We want to restrict the po line item rate change after creation of goods receipt against that line item.
Please suggest.

solution 1 : Do not give authorization for ME22
solution 2 : Grey out price chage , it should only be possible thru info records, and give authorization of info records in secured hands.
You should not totally restrict price change after GR because there are possibilities that you might require to change rate after goods receipt also. In that case you have to change rate and then have to give restrospective effect to GR.
try above 2 solutions which are simple

How to trigger an SMS after creation of Activity / Interaction Record

Dear Experts,
Our Client requirement is to trigger an SMS immediately after creation of an Interaction Record. I want to define an Action for this.
But what processing type should I use for SMS, (like Method Call, Smart Forms Mail / Fax / Print and Workflow). We are using an external service provider domain to send SMS to our customers. It has been configured in SCOT.
But from CRM configuration front there is no specific processing type for SMS. then how system reads telephone number from the BP master.
Kindly help me to resolve the issue, your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Best regards
Raghu ram

Raghu,
In your case you could copy a "print" action method class and create a z-version. Then modify the print action method so that the smartform output triggers a call to your output type.
Or you could just code a new method that creates a new BCS send request using the CL_BCS document and your output type.
It just depends on how whether you want to use smartforms to build the message or build it in some other method.
Take care,
Stephen

Auto Creation of Delivery with PGI and Billing after creation of Sale Order

Dear Experts,
I am having one Req. like...After creation of sales order ..automatic Delivery and Billing should be done.
Right now i m able to create automatic Delivery but PGI is not happening for that delivery.
Is there any configuration I have to do ... or by any user exit we can get the solution.
Can u please provide me solution for this.
Regards,
Sanket.

Hello,
yes, you can create the PGI Atomatically by BATCH JOB using the program nder the VL23 transaction code.
Goto the Transaction code SM36 to create a job for the program SAPMSSY0 which is the program for the AUTO PGI
create a variant for the Delivery document types and sales organisation combinatioans and add this variant to the bath job created in SM36.
Set the time of the Job to run after every 5 minutes, so once the job exected it will pcik all the Deliveries which are pending for the PGI.
After the PGI done you can run SDBILLDL program to create the Billing for all the document which were cleared and due for Billing.
Hope it is clear for yo, please revert if you need frther clarification .

File Browse is emptied after failed validation

Why does the file browse text box get emptied after a failed validation? Is there any way to prevent this?
To further explain, create a form on a page with two page items, a text box and a file browse item, then put a not null validation on the text box. When you submit the page with a null text box, but with a file selected for the browse button, then validation catches and throws the error message back to the user when the page refreshes. However, the file browse text box is emptied, and the user has to reselect the file before resubmitting the page.
Is this a bug, or just the way it is supposed to work? Any way around it?
Thanks,
Kris

Hello,
>> Is this a bug, or just the way it is supposed to work?
This is not a bug. Actually, it has nothing to do with APEX. The behavior of the file browse item is controlled by the HTML standard, which clears the field for security reasons.
If you pay close attention to Denes example, you’ll see that even when the validation error page is displayed, the file browse item itself is being cleared. The JavaScript generated file path is the one that retain its value. I don’t have access to Denes code, but I’m assuming that in his uploading procedure he’s using the JavaScript generated path.
>> Any way around it?
Where the file browse item is concern, no workaround.
In your specific case, where the validation you need is “not null”, you can create a JavaScript validation, and fire it before submitting the page (as part of the submit button). That way, the browser will not clear the file browse item, because the page will not be submitted without proper values in your items.

Arie.

Serial Numbers are not downloading after creation of Delivery in ECC

Dear all,
As per client business process, we need to download Serial numbers after creation of Outbound delivery.
I could see the generated Serial numbers in ECC Delivery document, but those Serial numbers are not downloading into CRM.
I have already done initial download for SERIALNUMBER object and I could see downloaded serial numbers in COM_TA_R3_ID Table.
But after creation of Outbound delivery in ECC, those delivered serialnumbers are not available in CRM system, even after successful data transfer of Sales Order, Delivery, PGI and Invoice documents Information.
Kindly help me in resolving the above issue
Best regards
Raghu ram

Hi
1.Check in material master whether serial number management is active in Plant data/stor Tab and serial number profile is assigned
2. Check while doing MIGO once if u enter the material and transfer qty you are getting the serial number tab or not
3. If everything is ok, then after posting the document check the serial number status in IQ09, check the stock type and the storgae location in the serdata tab
