Transform Sequence Again?

Hi smart folks,
In InDesign CS3, I can Transform Sequence Again. Where is this in Illustrator CS3?
For example: I want to rotate and copy a number all the way around a clock face. It must copy relative to the center of the clock face. It must also correct its rotation to remain level on a horizontal baseline.
This is two different rotations in sequence. A snap to do in InDesign. Can this be done in Illy?
Best to you,

I'm surprised that essentially means *no*.

TRANSFORMATION STARTS AGAIN, WHEN I RESTART THE COMPUTER OR ENABLE THE CAPTURE PROCES

Hello all,
I am using a Transformation function which is invoked by Capture process whenever a
delete is performed on source table, then Transformation function collect the required
data from LCR and stores in some other local table.
When capture process is online, Transformation function is doing it's job well.
But whenever I restart the system or whenever I enable the Capture process,
the Transformation function is called again, Though I am not performing any
delete operation on source table.
Due to this I am finding lot of duplicate records in the target table.
Hence, Transformation function is repeatedly called whenever I restart the system or
enable the Capture process.
=> Is it concerned with any kind of clean up or commit.
=> Or Am I have to clean up redo-logs right after the execution of Transformation function.
How can I stop this unnecessary execution of Transformation function.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello Patricia,
Thank you very much for that suggestion.
As you said, Now I created capture process and an apply process for replication inside a
database.
Capture process is enqueing events to queue, But Apply process is not able to dequeue events
from that queue.
I created this environment for replication between two same-structured tables inside scott schema.
If I get positive result for this simple case, then I can move for DML_Handlers etc.
Replication between 2 databases is looking more straight forward and easier to implement thatn this
local database issue.
Am I have to define propagation also...?
I tried defining propagation , which should dequeue events from source queue and enqeu event to
destination queue which is in the same schema, Then apply process should dequeue events from this.
But this is also not happening.
Or any special settings/initialization parameters are required for replication inside a
local database.
Many Thank in advance.

Map CdC op transform SEQUENCE and ROW oper column properties

I am using Map_cdc_op transform, for sequence column and row operation column properties, what fields should i choose?
My source table has the following columns:
RMID - primary key int
RMName - varchar
created_date datetime
Last_updated datetime
target table also has above 4 columns plus one rmLogID column with int data type. which is key column in target.
does map_cdc_op transform also take care of the surrogate key column id in target? which is "rmlogid".
thank you very much for the helpful info.

Suneer I am using SQL serverdatabase, this table is dragged to workspace as source:
RMID - primary key int
RMName - varchar
created_date datetime
Last_updated datetime
My task is to capture data changes from this table to target table, for that i a using Map_op_CDC transform, now under the properties SEQUENCE and ROW oper column what fields should i pic.I never used this transform before.
RMid is the primary key in source, rest teh of teh fields are changeable. i track created_dt and last_updated dates for that row.
Thanks a lot for the helpful info.

How to pause the main program and resume it the first sequence again?

I am building the main program. How do I pause it in case of activated emergency button or errors? Once the button is deactivated and errors are corrected, I need to resume it again at the first sequence, like reset, not close the program. How to do it?

Hello astroboy,
you have to program it...
A construct like "if not(error) then continue else startover" could help. Also the error cluster and its use in (nearly) all communication VIs can help you. And it could help to connect such error cluster to a case structure...

Smart objects transform&duplicate again

I am on a windows xp system and using the ps cs3 extended 10.0.1 version.
My question is about smart objects and their transformation capabilities.
I have made some tests on 3 objects. I have created a vector object applied basic layer styles(shipped with photoshop) and duplicate it twice. Rasterized duplicated ones. Converted vector original and one of duplicated raster copy to smart object and leave one of the raster copy as normal object. Objects have given the same size information in the info palette. Aligned them vertically using a grid.
I have tried some possibilities i have used ctrl+alt+T command transform and duplicate on one of the smart object. It was not working. So i have tried ctrl+shift+alt+T it was not working properly too.
I have applied ctrl+alt+T to normal raster object to create a reference transformation it was working. But when i apply ctrl+alt+shift+T command to vector and raster smart object. I realized that command transforms duplicated copies completely different than the reference transformation applied to normal object.
is it a bug or a normal behavior .

Does anyone know a script that copies transformations of a frame?

I'd like a script where all the frames selected on a spread can copy an original frame's transformations. So, for example:
I have 3-5 photo frames at different sizes and spaced unequally. I set one frame to be a perfect square with a photo filled proportionally. Set the stroke to 1 at registration black. Now, I'd like the other frames to be exactly the same (but holding different photos) and spaced at 1 cm vertically and horizontally from each other. Is this possible? If so, how do I go about either creating the script or better still, buying it?
"Transform sequence again individually" command just doesn't work for me and is too time consuming.
Best and thanks for the help.

I'm not sure that I have a clear picture yet of what you are trying to do, but does the ImageCatalog.jsx script that comes with InDesign do something similar to what you need?

Scale selected objects

Hi guys
I would like to know if there's an easy way for this situation:
I have 5 rectangles of the same size placed on different locations on my spreadsheet. Is there an easy way to scale them all to the same width or height by selecting them all and giving in the measurements? The main goal is that I don't have to select them each apart and give in the measurements 5 time, but also that I don't need to put them back on their location?
Do you understand what I mean?
Many thanks
Bob

Not quite all at once, but for objects on the same spread you can select and transform one, then select the rest, Object > Transform Again > Transform Sequence Again Indiviually. If you don't do anything else in between it amy also work if you change spreads and select new objects.

A way to resize images so that all are the same size??

I've got a minor complaint about InDesign going all the way back to version 1.0. I have a bunch of square images that I want to drop into a layout and then resize so that they're all the same size, e.g 2 inches wide (constrained height) or something. However, all the tools I've tried to make this work only resize all the images by percent, so the ones that started out larger are still too large. Its frankly a huge source of stress, since there's no easy "Actions" palette as in Photoshop and I don't want to resort to real scripting. Can anyone tell me if there's a way to resize images absolutely in the layout?
Thanks in advance!

Change your first frame using the control panel's H and W fields. Then
select the rest of the frames and use the object>transform
again>transform sequence again individually command.
But you'd really be better off creating one and then using step and
repeat to get them all correct. Use the frame fitting options before
placing any graphics and you'll be good to go.

Changing blocks of differents size to one standard for each

maybe the question has been asked zillion times but one of my students asked me me if it's possible to give the same size to different blocks which have different sizes? huh kind of tricky,no? I must admit I have to give my tongue to the cat.? Any idea? script? Thanks a lot

If you want to place images in CS4 or Cs5 you can do it in blocks.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WS8882A67C-50CF-4825-8129-B4B051398F71a.html
If you have CS3, you can do so by drawing several graphics frames at the same size, then use File>Place and select the images to import, use Alt (Option) click to place the images in the frames.
If you've already placed all the images, then you can resize one image to size you want, including dimensions of the graphic frame and the placement and scale of the image in the frame.
Then select all the other graphic frames and use the Object>Transform>Transform Sequence Again Individually

Need to transform CC7 to CC11 in live performance

I need to Transform CC7 messages to CC11 in live performance of organ plug-ins.
My MIDI controller has a single CC Pedal jack, labeled Volume, to which I have a CC pedal connected. It indeed controls the volume of my plug-ins.
I need to build a Transformer to change CC7 volume messages into CC11 expression; but have been unsucessful.
Can anyone explain the steps in doing this?
Thanks,
William

The easiest way to do this is to open the Environment and find your way the the "Clicks and Ports" layer. From here you should at least have a Physical Input Object (Logic's way of saying "Communicate with the driver for this MDI interface") and a Sequencer Input (an extra step that makes the end user tell Logic "Hey, I want you to record all incoming MIDI data"), something most other pieces of software do automatically.
Now, create a new Transformer object and cable it between the Physical Input and the Sequnecer Input.
The routing will look like this: Physical In -> Transformer -> Sequencer In. In this example we will be destructively changing ALL CC#7 messages into CC#11 which will then be sent into the Sequencer where they can be recorded if you so choose.
Double click on the Transformer Object and make the following settings. In the Top Row of the Transformer set the Status field to "Control", leave the Channel Field on "All", and change the -1- Field to 7. What you have done is told the Transformer to look for incoming messages that are Controller #7 on any MIDI channel. Now we need to tell it what to do with these messages.
In the Bottom Row you can leave the Status as Thru (this will cause the output message to be the same status as the input. In our case "Control"). Again, leave the Channel Field as "Thru" but change the -1- Field to 11.
This will cause the Transformer to take any incoming CC#7 message on any MIDI channel and convert it to CC#11.
Hope this helps.

I can no longer encode a sequence in PP CC after the Dec 2013 update

II have had to shut down and restart PP CC about 5 times when just creating a very simple sequence of clips from a family get together for Thanskgiving. I had to shut down since everything just quite responding. Fortunately, when I reopened the project, I could resume. I finally got my sequence created, but, now I can't export the sequence. The encode has failed 8 times in a row. I've tried direct export, and exporting to the AME queue. Sometimes I get the error sound and the absolutely useless error message "Error compiling movie. Unknown Error." Other times it just stops making any progress in the encode with no message at all, but there are zero CPU cycles being consumed by PP or AME. It just plain stops, wiht no eror message. That happened 3 times when used the Media Queue approach, and in the preview window in AME, it just stopped encoding at very different places in the sequence.
It appears as though I can no longer encode a movie. And I'm paying big bucks for this every month? What a sap.
I'm glad I'm not a Pro, whose income and life depends on these tools! But, I have a full time job, and only a very small amount of free time. I do not want to spend my small amount of free time as an Adobe Beta Tester. I've been using Adobe tools for years, which is why I signed up for CC, but...at this point: I can't even encode a simple sequence!
I can't express my disappointment. I wanted to be loading the encoded MP4 onto VIMEO for my friends and family to see by now, but.....I can't even encode a very simple sequence. And, I not a newbie. I have hundreds of videos on VIMEO, and many more on Youtube and Smugmug. Every one was produced with Adobe PP (from v4 on).
But now: I'm dead in the water.
I gurantee you that i will not 're-up' when my CC subscription expires, and, I guess right now, I have to start from scratch with my raw clips and find some other tools to use? I wish all my expensive plug-ins (like MB Suite) would work in whatever the tools I will move to...but...I guess I'll just have to write them off as a loss, just like the next 8 months of paying for my Adobe CC Software that no longer works.
I wish there was a way I could take the Thanksgiving Project and its sequences I've created in PP CC and convert the Project to PP 6.0, since I never had any issues with it PP v6.0.
But, from what I understand, if you make a project in PP CC, you are lost. You can't go backwards.
And, you know what? I'm done. I quit. I won't even try starting over in PP 6.0. I'm going to find some other tools. I know they won;t be as full-featured as Adobe's, but...I'm not a pro. I just need something that works reliably.
Disgusted beyond words.

PS: So, does Adobe have any kind of disaster recovery plan when an update like this fails? Can you please send out a "new update" that rolls me back to the prior version on PP CC?

OK. I have successfully encoded this very simple sequence, but, I *can't* get it to encode using my "standard" custom H.264 preset that I have been using for years.
But, I was not able to encode in many plain vanilla codecs either, but, I got a notice that there was a CC update for AE, so I took the time to install those updates, and, as I always do, I re-booted after the update of AE.
But, of course I had re-booted a couple times last night when I couldn't get the sequence to encode. That's somethinf I always try b4 writing to a form.
So, here's the sequecne of events this morning:
1) Try to encode sequecne to uncompressed AVI (Cineform AVI 1920x1080). It SUCCEEDED. But, even though the AVI was large > 3.6 GB the quality was horrible, I did not pay much attention to the quality settings.
2) Try to encode to Quicktime H.264 codec. FAILED.
3) Try to encode to Quicktime Codec=Uncompressed 4:2:2. FAILED
4) CC UPdate notice for AE CC and AE 6.0
5) Perform update
6) Reboot
7) Try to encode to Quicktime Codec=Uncompressed 4:2:2. SUCCEEDED - but ENORMOUS FILE SIZE *very nice quality though* :-)
8) Try to encode to Quicktime Codec=H.264. SUCCEEDED.
9) Try to encode to my 'usual' H.264 Preset FAILED, just hung up during the 2nd of two passes. My preset is a VBR with 2 passes, see bitmap below. In this particular case it got 'hung' at this frame. But, It never 'hangs' in the same place?
So, I don't know why I was able to encode the sequence using the Quicktime Wrapper and botn Uncompressed and H2.264 Codecs after updating AE CC and rebooting, but not before. Surely there is no interaction between AE and AME?
But, the re-boot should not have caused it alone, since I had rebooted several times last night, and I've installed nothing but the new update for AE since last night?
So, I guess I'm OK now. Please excuse my tone last night, I was very frustrtated.
It is interesting that I still can't encode this particluar sequence using my "standard" H.264 preset.
And, BTW Jim: What I mentioned in my previus post was not that I had brought and old PP 6.0 sequecne into CC and encoded it successfully, but that I just re-encoded one of my most complex sequences AGAIN in PP 6.0, just to wanted to make sure nothing was haywire with "good old" PP 6.0.
But, I did just re-encode a sequence from PP CC from before the Dec 13 update using my "standard" H.264 preset, and...yes...it DID encode.
SOOOOO...Jim, you were correct. My inability to encode was not due to the DEC 13 PP CC update, but something very peculiar about this one sequence. But, it is a very simple sequence. The only effects applied is some light color grading using MB Colorista, and Warp Stabilizer to a stabilize a few hand held shots. No other effects. And...the encode that fails using my standard preset, never fails at the same frame.
But...at this point I'm OK. Instead of an encoded file in MP4 I have an ecnoded H.264 rendition in the QuickTime MOV wrapper. At least I've got that sequence done and can move on to the ton of others I need to get to (without having to learn an entirely new tool). :-)

Issue with migrated transformation rule after transport

Hello all,
We have migrated couple of update rules and transfer rules to transformation rules. All the transformation rules are active in development environment.
The issue is when we transport these transformation rules to QA, one of the fields of datapacket dimension "RECORD" becomes &R1& in the global structure of start routine and therefore, transport fails in QA. Along with this we had another issue that if we add any additional fields in the cube or ODS structure, the global structure in start routine doesn't change after transport in QA. Basically, it seems like it doesn't do anything when we do transport.
We tried couple of things by transporting entire flow inclding target and source objects, we also tried transporting only transformation with overwrite mode. But none of the things worked. We also have logged the message with SAP.
SAP suggested us to open the QA environment and perform the change manually. We did it and obviously we could activate the transformation rules. But when we tried to re-transport the transformation, it is keep failing with the error "Syntax Error". My assumption has after the transport, the field has become &R1& again.
Has anybody faced such issue? We are on Ehp1 SP7.
- Danny

Thanks Murali,
Yes as I mentioned SAP suggested us to open the box and do it manually, but once we are done with the manual changes, we tried transporting the same transformation rule again, which I guess going to be the case in case of any future enhancement. Transport failed and it says "Syntax Error".
The transformations we activated manually in the target system are active, but when we try to load the data, it throws the exception error.
Any clue ?? Is it working fine in your system after you did manual changes? Did all future transport go well ?

Driver Pack No Longer Being Applied During Task Sequence

Hi all,
So... this week a really strange issue manifested itself. I've been trawling through logs for the last day and I don't seem to be getting anywhere.
A task sequence, which has been working for months and hasn't been changed, all of a sudden decided to start throwing error code 0x87D00269 yesterday. It was at the stage where applications that are installed during the task sequence started to
install.
So after a looking into the error, it seems the machines are unable to download the packages, possibly through not being joined to the domain. At this stage in the task sequence, the machine should definitely be joined to the domain. We have
the command support console enabled, so I hit F8 and tried to ping the MP and the DP. Nothing. Ran ipconfig, nothing listed under the adapter. Very odd. So I checked the NIC on the back of the machine and it was up, so I booted from the task sequence
media USB stick again and hit f8. Ran ipconfig and the machine had picked up an address from DHCP no problem and shortly after, the task sequences available to the machine loaded. So I started the task sequence again and it started fine, formatted
the disk, downloaded the W7 pro x86 image, applied it, downloaded the driver pack and seemingly applied the drivers (according to the task sequence), then the machine rebooted. It started to go through the installing drivers phase (the black screen
with the sunrise), which seemed to take a longer than normal. The machine rebooted and sat at the applying settings stage for a long while, which also seemed odd and I remarked the graphics drivers didn't seem to be installed because the screen resolution
was set really low. Of course at this stage, F8 doesn't work so I waited until just before the applications started to install again. Pressed F8, ran ipconfig and no IP address. So rather than wait for the task sequence to fail again, I manually powered off
the machine and powered it back on.
So the machine boots, still with the low resolution, comes to the login screen and at this point, it's clear the machine hasn't joined the domain. I logged in with local admin account and it became clear none of the drivers had installed from the driver
pack. This is a driver pack that has run absolutely fine for months and as far as I'm aware, nothing has changed so I'm a little bit confused as to why it would just stop working.
I can't see anything in the smsts log that would explain what's happening and I've looked through the dism log but I can't find anything relevant in there.
Any ideas on where to go? This is happening on multiple machines of the same type.

Hi,
0x87D00269 CCM_E_REQ_MP_NOTFOUND
Ran ipconfig, nothing listed under the adapter.
These evidence indicate that no network driver in boot image. Is this a customized boot image? Is the machine a new model?
Press F8, run wpeinit to initialize network. If this is not working, re-add driver to boot image and try again.
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Subscriber Support, contact [email protected]
Hi Daniel,
The boot image hasn't been modified and this machine is the exact same model as one built just a few weeks ago, with the exact same hardware. I know this because I've compared the hardware IDs of the devices side by side and they're identical.
I'm sorry but I don't follow. This issue only occurs after the driver pack downloads and (allegedly) applies. Up to that point, the machine has connectivity to the DP/MP and downloads and runs the first sections of the task sequence without issue. If I hit
F8 prior to the drivers being applied, I have my adapter listed and, of course, an IP address. That to me suggests the generic drivers already in the boot image work fine and don't need to be altered.

ABAP transformation to XML for sap chart engine with internal table

Hello.
I am new to the SAP chart engine, XML and transformations so please be patient with me from an ABAP-program I am trying to call a Z-transformation and attach an internal table with two columns. In the ST program I want to loop through the table and for each row insert the two values from the table in the XML.
In an ABAP-program I have an internal table containing datacoordinates for a scattered chart.
The table looks like this:
DATA: BEGIN OF coordinate,
            x_value TYPE f,
            y_value TYPE f,
           END OF coordinate,
           polygon_data LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF coordinate with header line.
As a prototype I just add a few coordinates like this:
polygon_data-x_value = '700'.
    polygon_data-y_value = '8'.
    APPEND polygon_data.
    polygon_data-x_value = '1400'.
    polygon_data-y_value = '3'.
    APPEND polygon_data.
    polygon_data-x_value = '1400'.
    polygon_data-y_value = '10'.
    APPEND polygon_data.
    polygon_data-x_value = '700'.
    polygon_data-y_value = '10'.
    APPEND polygon_data.
    polygon_data-x_value = '700'.
    polygon_data-y_value = '3'.
    APPEND polygon_data.
I have created a Z-transformation and I call it like this (I also have a separate transformation for all the customizing generated with SAP chart designer but that one works fine):
DATA: data_xml TYPE xstring.
CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest_ce_tables2xml
      SOURCE polygon_data = polygon_data
      RESULT XML data_xml.
Since I am trying to create a scattered chart I need to insert an X and Y value for each coordinate.In the manual SAP Chart engine - XML format description it looks like this:
<ChartData>
<Series>
<Point>
<Value type="x">1</Value>
<Value type="y">1</Value>
</Point>
<Point>
<Value type="x">2</Value>
<Value type="y">2</Value>
</Point>
My ST-program that I cannot get to work looks like below. How can I loop through my internal table and get the X and thy Y value for each row in my internal table?
BR Tommy (Sweden)
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">

   </Point>
   </tt:loop>
</Series>
</ChartData>
</tt:template>
</tt:transform>

Hello again.
I found the solution and would like to share it with the forum, maybe it could help someone.
My first error was in the call transformation statement:
CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest_ce_tables2xml
      SOURCE polygon_data = polygon_data [] <----
Do not forget these
      RESULT XML data_xml.
I also had an error in the ST program, it should look like this:
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
<tt:root name="POLYGON_DATA"/>
<tt:template>
<ChartData>
<Series>
<tt:loop ref=".POLYGON_DATA">
   <Point>
     <Value type="x"><tt:value ref="$ref.X_VALUE"/></Value>
     <Value type="y"><tt:value ref="$ref.Y_VALUE"/></Value>
   </Point>
   </tt:loop>
</Series>
</ChartData>

Problem with Nokia Camera and Smart Sequence

Hi,
I'm having a problem with Nokia Camera and the Smart Sequence mode.
Basically, if you take a picture using nokia camera, and view it in your camera roll, it usually says, underneath the pic "open in nokia camera".
Well, if I take a pic using the Smart Sequence mode, it just doesn't say "open in nokia camera" so, to use the functions of smart sequence (best shot, motion focus, etc), I have to open nokia camera, go to settings and tap the "Find photos and videos shot with nokia camera" option.
Does anyone has the same problem? Anybody solved it?
I already tried reinstalling nokia camera, but that didn't help.
I'm running Nokia Black on my 925.
Thanks everyone!

Hi,
I had the same problem with my 1020. It did get fixed with the last update to Nokia camera.
However, IIRC, it didn't just happen right away. When browsing the camera roll I'm pretty sure that the "open with Nokia camera" text wasn't there.
Slightly disappointed I opened the (Nokia) camera anyway and was going to test the smart sequence again. I noticed the only precious pic I'd taken using this actually appeared top left of the screen.
I opened it and I had all the smart sequence editing options again - that we're missing previous. Made a new picture and saved it.
Now when in camera roll the text shows below the image and all is good.
This probably doesn't help much except that it didn't seem to fix automatically.
I work @Nokia so I can ask around a bit to see if this is a known / common issue (not that I know any developers)
