Transaction to end online batch processing

I need to exit from my batch processing that is started in online mode. Can anyone tell me the transaction to do this?

General command field formats /n Skip to the next record if you are processing one batch input session
/bend Cancel a batch input foreground process
/nend Close all R/3 sessions and logoff
/nxxxx Call the transaction xxxx in the same session
/o Generate a session list
/oxxxx Call the transaction xxxx in an additional session
/i Delete the current session
/h Turn the debug mode on
/$tab Reset all buffers (for System Administrators)
/$sync Synchronize instances buffers (for System Administrators

How to add or remove silence at the beging and at end of each audio file using batch process

Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I have been using Audition 3 for the last couple of years and these days I have to coop with an extra difficult situation, which is; I have more than 2000 files that start and finish with a random length of silence, it varies 0 to 7 sec. My question is, how can I set the silent duration at the beginning and end of each file to a constant amount of 2 sec by using batch process?
Kind regards,
Pavlos

>it's relatively easy to select an absolute time at the beginning of a file (we discovered how to do this a while back), the same technique simply doesn't work at all at the end of it
Indeed! I had a few trials last couple of days and noticed it.
Definitely we need help on Audition's scripting language from the people in Adobe. Why don't they produce a scripting language documentation?!

Gather_table_stats in a batch process

Hi everyone,
we have a bit of a problem with several batch processes. Their basic structure of a batch process this
1. do some init tasks - record the batch process as running, load parameters etc. generally a very simple tasks (haven't seen those to fail)
2. prepare some data into a TMP table (regular table, used from this single process - to pass data between runs, etc.)
3. process the data from a TMP table (e.g. insert records to other tables, etc.)
4. do some final tasks - mark the process as finished, create some simple records describing results (this fails, although very rarely)
Steps 2-4 are always in a single transaction (usually a single procedure). One thing we've noticed is that the TMP table may be very different between the runs (e.g. it may be truncated and filled with new data on each run), which causes problems to the optimizer - in case of several batch processes, this often results in a very bad plan.
So we have modified the processes so that a dbms_stats.gather_table_stats is called after steps 2 and 4, i.e. it looks like this
1. do some init tasks - record the batch process as running, load parameters etc. generally a very simple tasks (haven't seen those to fail)
2a. prepare some data into a TMP table (regular table, used from this single process - to pass data between runs, etc.)
2b. gather stats on the TMP table
3a. process the data from a TMP table (e.g. insert records to other tables, etc.)
3b. gather stats on the modified tables (usually just one table)
4. do some final tasks - mark the process as finished, create some simple records describing results (this fails, although very rarely)
which works (the query plans are much better), but there's a BIG problem we haven't noticed before - the dbms_stats.gather_table_stats commits the transaction. That is not that big deal in case of the (2b) as the previous steps are rather trivial and easy to undo manually, but the (3b) is much worse.
I thought we could fix this by running gather_table_stats from an autonomous transaction, but that does not work as it does not read uncommitted data :-(
We could move the (3b) out of the batch process and run it at the very end, but that still does not solve the other gather_table_stats call (which is a PITA) and we would have to propagate what tables were modified in the process.
Is there a way how to do this? I.e. how to gather stats within a single batch process (PL/SQL procedure) without committing the previous changes and not ignoring the uncommited data?

First you refer to the table as a TMP (temporary) table but you also mention truncating it so is this actually a permanent table that is used as a work table? With a work table it is my experience that what you want to do is load it with a represenative sample (usually a larger one when there is significant variation between runs), collect statistics, and then leave those statistics in place.
I find the same is true when you use a global temporary table (GTT) in place of a permanent work table. Create the GTT, load it, collect statistics, verify the plan, and leave those statistics in place. With a GTT every user session gets their own private copy of the work table so concurrent session access takes no special logic. With a permanent work table we have added a key column where each concurrent session selects a sequence value and uses it on every row and we have used dbms_lock to limit the process to one user in cases where only one user in the department needs to create the online report but multiple users will query the result.
If this is not helpful then a fuller description of how the table is loaded and accessed may provide someone with the information necessary to provide you with a more useful reply.

How to display custom error message in Job log for batch processing

Hi All,
I am rexecuting one R/3 report in batch mode and i want to display all the custom error i have handled in job log when its executed from SM36,SM37. The custom error are like 'Delovery/Shipmet doe not exits' or others which we can display in online mode like message e100(ZFI) or any other way and accordingly we can handle the program control like come out of the program ro leave to transaction'Zxxx' or anything. But i want my program to be executed completely and accumulate all the error in job log of batch processing.
Can anyone tell me how can i do so...
Thanks,
Amrita

Hi,
Thats what i have done from the begining. I have written message like this:
Message i100(ZFI).
I was hoping to see this message in the log. But i cant see. Can you help me pleae...

Why do I need to use GIMP to batch process?

Dear Adobe,
I'm grinding through thousands of display and template images for an online retailer. Photoshop layering and masks came in quite handy when I was making the templates
but now that it's got down to reusing those templates, I have to look elsewhere.
1 Why does every other piece of software on the market have a batch processing section, and yet you hide yours?
2. Why does Image Processor refuse to resize both horizontal and vertical, although it claims to? It actually refuses to distort the image to resize, which I actually want it to do. I had
to download GIMP to get this capability, as well as to specify the output file and change the dpi. These are all included in GIMP but not Pshop. Thanks for that. And don't tell
me to go to Actions. THat may be useful for something things, but it's hardly the optimal way to do it, recording your exact actions, and then saving or not saving, and then
seeing what happens. The way I wanted it was in GIMP, and its pathetic that 20 years in, Pshop still doesnt have a credible batch processor, or tell me where it is now.
Charge extra for that perhaps?
3.What has changed in Bridge CS6 since CS4? I see absolutely nothing different, but then output is still limited to PDF and 'WEB GALLERY' a dysfunctional glob
of code bested easily by jquery, but maybe you've impoved that end. My last experience with web gallery was so dysfunctional that I'll just stick to fixing what's
under the hood myself. I mean web gallery used to be flash, then something else that's not current. Let's just agree its a hobbyist option. Of course,
I don't know why 'output' might include other options for the batch processing of files, since batch rename does actually work, but you guys are the deciders.
4. Its too bad. This job has taught me a lot of new stuff about layering, masks, and the functionality of the pattern section, which I have no great qualms with, though,
considering how many companies you've bought, you could include tons of patterning capabilities that used to exist in these programs, but that would be too much
expenditure from MGMT. Maybe let's just fix the window views we broke in CS4, and call it a new version.
5. Thanks for forcing me to discover GIMP, who dont ask a thing. I dont really like being in there yet, but we'll see if that changes with time. They actually have some
different filters and rendering options that Adobe could've included years ago for gun, but again, there's just not enough money to go around at Adobe.

Thanks for both of you proving both that the function doesnt exist.
When the Image Processor resizes image it used the Photoshop Plug-in Fit Image to do the resize. Both height and width are resized and the image aspect ratio is preserved so the image is not distorted. That means the image will fit within the height and width used in the dialog. Only image with the same aspect ratio will fill the area. It sounds to me like you want the image the size id the height and width you entered in the dialog. In which case you need to use Photoshop features the can accomplish that. If you do not care the the image is distorted you use Image size check resample uncheck constrain as set the height and width you want to resize to. If you do not want to much distortion you can try content aware resize. That will still distort the image some what but try to maintain some areas perspective it finds object in. You can also help that process by selecting areas. If You want no distortion you need to resize the image to fill the area and mask off the excess to virtually crop the image the the areas aspect ratio. To automate that you need to use some Photoshop scripting. Knowledge is required to get the most out of Programs like Gimp and Photoshop. The function doesn't exist because of your lack of knowledge.

Month End Payment Batch

Greetings to All,
In AP, we are looking for concurrent request called: Month End Payment Batch, which is supposed to find any eligible payments to be created.
We are using 11.5.10.2 and can not find this process.
We have checked ML and can not find any notes on this process, but when we search the web, we get alot of hits saying that this process is availabe.
http://it.toolbox.com/wiki/index.php/Period-End_Processing_in_Oracle_Payables_(Release_11i)
"Optionally Run a Month End Payment Batch
By running a month end payment batch, you may arrange a payment for as many due invoices as possible."
Has the process been renamed in 11.5.10.2?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
There is no any specific concurrent request to run payment batch or there is no renaming of any process within this version.
You are actually required to follow a series of steps to create your payment batch. You initiate each step from the Payment Batch Actions window, or, for payment batch sets, from the Submit Batch Set window. You can also schedule payment batch sets to automatically submit at regular intervals.
Major steps that are required to create payment batches:
1 Initiate the payment batch by entering criteria for invoices you want to pay. Payables selects invoices and builds the payments; it determines which invoices will be paid on each payment document and lists this information for you on the Preliminary Payment Register.
At any time before formatting, you can optionally modify the payment batch. You can prevent payment to a supplier, prevent payment of a particular invoice, change the invoice amount, or add an invoice that Payables did not originally select.
2 Format payments to have Payables produce an output file.
3 Print checks from the output file, create electronic payments, or deliver the output file to your bank to disburse electronic payments.
4 Confirm the payment batch by recording the document numbers associated with each payment. During this step Payables updates the invoice status to paid and associates a payment number with the invoice and invoice payment. Do not send checks to suppliers before confirming the payment batch.
Payables creates a Final Payment Register which you can review to verify the completed payment batch.
After confirming the payment batch, you can review the Payment Batch Control Report to verify the accounting of the invoices you paid. You can submit this report after every payment batch to compare it with actual payment information. You can also use this report to provide your check signer with comprehensive information about each payment document, eliminating the need to review paper invoices. The
report displays payment, supplier, invoice, and expense information.
You can check the status of a payment batch at any time during the payment batch process by checking the Status field in the Payment Batches window. You can also check the status of payment processes in the Requests window...

Batch process does not work in one service, but worked in another.

Hi Fellows,
We have here a batch process with a code encrypted, that runs daily in a production environment.
Tonight this batch process did not work.
It is expected that this process runs in about 20 seconds, but tonight this process used about 3 hours and did not finished.
We checked if it was concurrency, killed some sessions and tried again, and nothing has changed.
And then someone changed the service that this process uses, it was 'bat' and changed to 'dba'. And it worked succesfully in 11 seconds.
Here is the tnsnames that the batch process uses:
bat =
(DESCRIPTION =
(LOAD_BALANCE = OFF)
(FAILOVER=ON)
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x1)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x2)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x3)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = bat)
(FAILOVER_MODE =
(BACKUP = dba)
(TYPE = NONE)
(METHOD = BASIC)
(RETRIES = 20)
(DELAY = 5)
dba =
(DESCRIPTION =
(LOAD_BALANCE = OFF)
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x1)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x2)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x3)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = dba)
Do you guys know what could be the reason?
Thanks in advance.

We set the service which the app should connect.
These services are set in srvctl:
ora.cms.bat.cms1.srv ONLINE ONLINE on fastora1
ora.cms.bat.cms2.srv ONLINE ONLINE on fastora2
ora.cms.bat.cms3.srv ONLINE ONLINE on fastora3

ora.cms.dba.cms1.srv ONLINE ONLINE on fastora1
ora.cms.dba.cms2.srv ONLINE ONLINE on fastora2
ora.cms.dba.cms3.srv ONLINE ONLINE on fastora3
The batch process connects to a service [ bat ], but it hangs and don't finish. But when we change the service do dba is just pass in some seconds and finish succesfully.
Connected to DB [issr@bat ]

HDR Toning Auto Batch Process

Hi, first time poster here...just recently got into timelapse photography and have been batch processing away to my hearts content. I have one scene that looks unbelievable with the "surrealistic" HDR toning preset. However, I record my action and set up the folders and set it to go, but it seems to want me to click "ok" after filtering each photo...there's 1685 of them, so not very keen on that.
I googled it before posting here and there is one other post online about it, but they start talking about scripts and I have no idea where they are or what to do with them...
Any advice? Many thanks.

Hi,
I'd like to batch process a sequence of 830 photos. I basically want to make two copies of each - one with less exposure (darker) and one with more (lighter) so at the end I'll have 2490 images (in separate projects).
No reason I know this can't be done. Lift and stamp adjustment.
Incidentally, something I've noticed is that when selecting one photo for adjustments it automatically duplicates the photo alongside the original, I'd like to temporarily disable this so I can select all the photos in one project and adjust them as one so they all turn out the same.
Aperture→Prefs→Advanced→{uncheck "Create new versions when making adjustments"}.
In case you haven't guessed already it's for an HDR time lapse film I'm making. I'll then be taking the images to photomatix for more processing - a whole other forum to visit then...
What's the subject? I'd like to see the film.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

SAP R/3 vs XI Batch Processing

We are planning to move some of our existing interfaces between legacy systems & R/3 to be processed through XI. We would like to do this in such a manner that the business doesn't get impacted much and also keeping the project costs to minimum.
Current interfaces use batch processing in R/3 with 1000's of records sitting in a file ftp'd from legacy system and a pre-edit ABAP program will validate the data and posts transactions in R/3 using BDC sessions. Errors will be reported through some custom application built in ABAP. Users will process the BDC session and correct the errors to post the documents. In some cases we use BAPI's but when the BAPI errors out a BDC session is created for processing the errors.
We are on XI3.0 SP12 & R/3 4.6B
Can XI do all the stuff that R/3 does today in terms of batch processing and error correction by business user etc. What are the limitations and are there any workarounds to overcome them.

XI is not meant for that and cannot do that. XI is an integration engine and does not replace R/3 work.
What it means: XI can receive data and modify the data in mapping and deliver it to another system and invoke a process in case of R/3.
XI has 3 adapters for other SAP systems.
1. IDoc
2. RFC
3. XI Proxy
4. File Adapter (I dont think you want to create a file again, but one of my previous client used this option)
I guess you know about the first 2.
The third one is, when you receive the data from source system, modify it according to the requirements and pass it to an ABAP Class where you can write your own code.
Let me simplify this for your process.
When a file is received, XI can pick up the file and send it to R/3 System using XI proxy (in internal tables or structures) which will be executing a class. Within that class you can code to pass that data to your ABAP program with SUBMIT PROGRAM. This is just an example.
This cannot replace your BDC process, but can make it to do the same.

Credit card file upload(Tcode: PRCC) in a batch process

Hi all,
Is it possible to make credit card file upload(Tcode: PRCC) in a batch process.
when i tried doing so got message "frontend function cannot be created in batch mode" .
I am aware that it is because this program is using "GUI_UPLOAD" function module which is for front end only and not for background processing.
But as this is standard program I cannot change method of uploading flat file.
Please suggest me any method to solve my requirement. I need to make credit card file upload in a batch process.
Thanks ,
Snehal

Check mark parameter 'File is not local' for SAP to read file from application server (file is read using open dataset instead of gui_upload). This would allow you to run this tcode in background.

Add layers from other psd file and retain text layers (Batch processing)

I want to batch process a large number of portraits adding text info from the filename (year_name_number.jpg) to existing text layers. I want to make a template psd file containg the correct labeled text layers formatted and adjusted (With bleding effects and more) How can i add layers from an other psd file to the active document and retaining the text layers editable. The place command in PS5 adds the file as a smart object, no use.
Any ideas?
I tried the combined action/script way, but no joy so far. Right now i am making the text layers with a action, then calling the script from the action. It works but its difficult to make different templates from adjusting a action.
The code i am using now (in combination with a action creating the 3 text layers and other grapchical elements)
var docRef = activeDocument;
// strip the extension off
var fileNameNoExtension = docRef.name;
fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.split( "_" );
if ( fileNameNoExtension.length > 1 ) {
fileNameNoExtension.length--;
fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.join("_");
var myString = fileNameNoExtension;
var mySplitResult = myString.split("_");
var textLayer = docReflayers['Year']; // define the existing text layer to a var
docRef.activeLayer = textLayer;
textLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
var T1 = textLayer.textItem;
T1.contents = mySplitResult[0]
var textLayer = docRef.layers['Name']; // define the existing text layer to a var
docRef.activeLayer = textLayer;
textLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
var T2 = textLayer.textItem;
T2.contents = mySplitResult[1]
var textLayer = docRef.layers['Number']; // define the existing text layer to a var
docRef.activeLayer = textLayer;
textLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
var T3 = textLayer.textItem;
T3.contents = mySplitResult[2]
Thanks

Here is my intended workflow:
- A set of same size portraits labeled "year_name_number.jpg"
- A template.psd os same size with graphical elements and text layers (named "year", "name" and "number")
- A script or action copy/pasting og adding all layers from the template.psd file to the open portrait file, retaining text layers editable.
- A script (The one i have working) changing the text layers added from the template to text from the filename.
- A action saving this as a PDF ready for print.
This way i can process a large number of portraits, add names and other information and save it as a file ready for print.
I can image it is much easier to edit a template than writing a script or an action creating all the graphical elements.
And even better, to change this template for different customers/departments/logos.
Basically i need a way to add layers to an open file using a batch file or script.
Eivind
OK I understand what your trying to do and now I do not agree with your conclusion you made in you first append about place being no good for you. Its is I think a perfect solution for you. I feel you need to address the process from a new angle.
I am very familiar with templates I use them all the time for collages which I populate with an actions. However I do not batch this process and my process is interactive. If you look at what your trying to do from the angle of creating a collage. You will see what you are trying to do is automate the population of a single image collage using a single template in a batch process. An example of one of my single image collage populated by one of my actions that has been saved as a jpeg image file. My actions are played in Photoshop with no document opened. After my action is play there is a single collage document in Photoshop that contains layers that can be tweaked all text is in text layers the can be edited.
If I wanted to automate the batch population of a single collage template I think all I would need to know is three thing.
1.) The location of the input images
2.) The full Path of the PSD template file.
3.) The location to store the output file
Looking at some of the recent threads in this forum I could almost cut and past the script you want to put together. There was a recent thread that had javascript code to process files in a folder and process only a list of file types. There also was a thread that had a place function in it to place images into the current document or create a new document to place the image into. The image was read from the web using a URL. This thread has code to change a text layer. At first I though you may need to open these image file to get at its meta-data to get the Portrait image Exif creation data. But see all you need is the Filename for it has the data you want the year and name. So the function that get the image files from the folder will give you that. The Script needs to Open the Template PSD file and retrieve the prototype text layers text content then the scrip needs a loop that get the next image file to be processed from the folder get filename function. In the loop the image files are place into the open template above a place holder layer like the Background layer. Then using the prototype text contents and the filename are used create the new content for the text layer and then change the text layers content to it. Follow that up with a save as for the output file. Once the output file is saved delete the placed smart object layer. When this loop ends the script will close the document with no save and end. As for the three inputs you need the script could either have a dialog like the images processor or simply prompt you for the folders and template file.

Urgent help required : Batch processing error of an inbound idoc

hi,
i have a problem while posting an idoc to the GL(FB01).
i'm using an Inbound idoc message type : ACC_GL_POSTING
idoc type : ACC_GL_POSTING01.
Process code : BAPI.
In the transaction code OBA7 i have enabled a particular document type as BATCH INPUT ONLY.
i have set the option " Trigger by background program" in the partner profile (we20).
while testing the process i'm getting the error "Document type -- is only defined for batch input".
how can i overcome this error? can idocs be used to post for transaction that are batch enabled . plz help me.
with regards.
T.Jeyagopi.

Jeyagopi,
There are different types of Data loading into SAP.
BATCH INPUT / BDC / IDOC / BAPI etc. BATCH INPUT are standard programs that take the data and update SAP. I don't think that is same as batch processing of IDOC.
You might want to remove the setting of batch input, retain the batch processing in WE20 and try it out.
In my opinion it should work.
Regards,
Ravi

Batch process makes image resolution change to 72dpi - it should be 300dpi - Help!

In my work I use a batch process to run an action that converts EPS files to TIFF files. I have been using this successfully in Photoshop 7 on a Win2000 PC for a number of years. The process is as follows...
Open EPS file
Flatten Image
Save
Close
When I recorded the action I made sure that the resolution was set to 300dpi as we require the TIFF produced at the end to be that resolution.
I am now testing PSCS3 on a WinXP machine as we are upgrading all of our equipment. When I run the action as a batch process the TIFFs that are saved end up being 72dpi - They should be 300dpi. This worked in PS7 on the Win2000 machine and I am using exactly the same process in PSCS3 on the new WinXP machine, but something must be going wrong somewhere for the TIFFs to be saved at 72dpi instead of the required 300dpi. Any ideas?

That doesn't seem to work - it doesn't appear to record any changes I make in the 'Image Size' dialog.
When I look at the actions that I recorded in PS7 there are all the settings that I specified at the 'Open' step, such as 300dpi, greyscale, etc. saved under 'Open', but when I do the same in PSCS3 it doesn't record all the settings, just the actual 'Open' command, so I need to find a way of making PSCS3 remember '300dpi', 'greyscale', etc. within the 'Open' step like it did when I recorded the action using PS7.

Acrobat 9 Batch Processing - Get PDF filenames from folder?

Hello,
Can anyone provide me with an example with how to use Batch Processing (when set to a specific folder/files) to get a list of filenames in that folder? I haven't been able to find any examples online. There doesn't seem to be any built in batch sequences that automatically do this so I assume it will need to be done with javascript?
Ultimately, I need to automate a process (I was hoping to create a batch sequence to accomplish this) that will allow me to prompt a user to pick a source folder of PDFs and then based on that selection, run a Javascript that I create which will merge all PDFs in that folder into a new PDF, apply some crop setttings to each page, and then prompt the user where to save the merged PDF?
Has anyone ever done anything like this? I would love to see an example of how this might be able to be achieved.
Many thanks in advance.

Have you tried to create a test batch process (now called Actions)? Actions in Acrobat 10 has the "merge all files in folder" option, and batch processing in previous versions has always included a page crop commad as well as an option for asking the user where to save the file.
There are lots of examples and articles on this topic at http://www.acrobatusers.com
