Trying to replicate a gray processing operation called "black flood"

I am trying to replicate a gray processing function call "black flood". This is found in Leica image analysis software. The documentation reads, "Fills in black detail without affecting the boundaries. This is done by closing by the selected number of cycles and then performing a gray-level reconstruction.”
Any ideas how to pull this off in IMAQ Vision?
Thanks!

IMAQ has Gray level reconstruction.
It seems to me like you want to implement the Matlab function imfill.
You don't have to do closing if you don't want to. This logic will work even without the closing. Closing will remove the raged edges.
What you need to do is to inverse the image so the black holes will be bright.
Then you use the image reconstruction to fill up the holes.
Then inverse the image back.
Thanks - Amit,

Problems with pre-mapping process operator in owb 9i

Hi,
I was trying to use the pre-mapping process operator in owb 9i. Problem is that the manual does not specify how the inputs need to be connected to this operator.
Following is what I went through -
I created a mapping table operator and a mapping dimension operator and connected these two. Then i created a pre-mapping process operator selecting the LTRIM function. Further I connected one of the table attributes to this pre-mapping operator as input and connected the output of this pre-mapping operator to the appropriate dimension operator attribute.
On performing Validate, following error message was flashed -
VLD-2451 : Illegal connection to pre-mapping process operator
I am trying to learn how to use OWB 9i from the manual. So my interpretation of the use of the pre-mapping process operator may be wrong.
In any case kindly help,
Thanks,
Saju

Pre-mapping process is use to perform some operations preceding to mapping operation itself.
For example, if your mapping is designed to incrementally append data to table for the definite time interval (witch is a parameter of the map operation) you might want to perform the table data cleanup for that period. That will allow for reload data number of time.
In this case you have to define the procedure witch perform cleanup and than include the call to that procedure as a pre-mapping process.
Other examples of pre- and post mapping process is disabling referential integrity before loading and re-enabling them after loading.
Anyway, OWB documentation has clear definition for pre- and post-mapping processes.

Pre-Mapping Process Operator

We are not getting any documentation, how to use Pre-Mapping Process Operator(I went through the help documentation and tried to apply whatever is there).
I am using this operator for a function that returns single value. The output of this operator I want to load into the Expression input and expression operator output I want to load into the target table. The output from the Pre-mapping Operator is blank when I am seeing indebugging mode. I am not getting result in execution mode also. Its a simple function that returns number. The function is
FUNCTION Tesppt RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
RETURN 100;
END;
I want to know how Pre-Mapping operator works . When I am using the function in expression it works fine.
I tried out simple mapping to load a table, it did not work out. The code generated is
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE "TEREEES" AS
sql_stmt VARCHAR2(32767);
get_abort BOOLEAN := FALSE;
get_trigger_success BOOLEAN := TRUE;
get_errors NUMBER(22) := 0;
get_status NUMBER(22) := 0;
-- Status variable for Batch cursors
"TEST_PP_St" BOOLEAN;
"PREMAPPING_0_VALUE" NUMBER;
-- Function Main -- Entry point in package "TEREEES"
FUNCTION Main RETURN NUMBER;
END "TEREEES";
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY "TEREEES" AS
-- Function "TEST_PP_Bat"
-- performs batch extraction
-- Returns TRUE on success
-- Returns FALSE on failure
FUNCTION "TEST_PP_Bat" RETURN BOOLEAN IS
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION ENABLE PARALLEL DML';
BEGIN
INSERT
/*+ APPEND PARALLEL(TEST_PP, DEFAULT, DEFAULT) */
INTO
"TEST_PP"
("C1",
"C2")
(SELECT
"TEST_COUNTRY"."CODE" "CODE",
"PREMAPPING_0_VALUE" "VALUE"
FROM "TEST_COUNTRY" "TEST_COUNTRY"
COMMIT;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
ROLLBACK;
COMMIT;
RETURN FALSE;
END;
COMMIT;
RETURN TRUE;
END "TEST_PP_Bat";
FUNCTION Main RETURN NUMBER IS
get_batch_status BOOLEAN := TRUE;
BEGIN
-- Pre-Model Triggers
BEGIN
"PREMAPPING_0_VALUE" :=TESPPT();
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
get_trigger_success := FALSE;
END;
-- Initialize all batch status variables
"TEST_PP_St" := FALSE;
IF get_trigger_success THEN
"TEST_PP_St" := "TEST_PP_Bat";
END IF;
RETURN get_status;
END Main;
END "TEREEES";
Thanks in advance.

We are having one table which will be populated from other source. It will have one value and we need to fetch that value and this value will be constant for the the whole mapping as there is only one record. So, this the reason why we wanted to do this process before the start of the mapping. The code that I have pasted is sample that I did as an trial for testing how pre mapping process operator works.
Actually we are using expression and in expression for every record, we don't want to call a function. We want to call function once only so thats the reason why we are using Pre-Mapping Process operator. I don't think that there is anything better than this but the function returns no value when we are using the Pre-Mapping process operator but when I use this function in the outgroup of the expression it returns the value.
I wanted to see how Pre-mapping operator works, so we tried out simple mapping with simple function but did not work there also. This simple mapping code is there in the query that I asked first.
Thanks in Advance

Tracking of wip material in externally processed operation

Hi All,
As part of production process, most of the operations would be processed internally in the manufacturing plant and some of the operations would be
performed by vendor at his own premises (outside the manufacturing plant). Material will be called as WIP (work in process) material if it completes some of the operations (two operations completed out of four operations) in production process without forming its final product shape
WIP (work in process) material will be sent out to vendor against externally processed operation in production order. We’ve a business requirement to track the WIP (Work in Process, No inventory yet in system) material status details such as when was the WIP material shipped out to service provider by purchasing department or returned back to production floor from stores after receiving from vendor for externally processed operation in production
order
The scenario is explained below and the process in SAP would be as follows.
1. Production order would be created for
respective header material (semi-finished/finished) with required quantity with five operations to be processed, for example: OP10 (turning), OP20 (drilling), OP30 (milling), OP40 (shaping), OP50 (powder coating). OP10, OP20, OP40, OP50. would be processed internally in the shop floor of the manufacturing plant
2.After finishing the internal processing at OP10 and OP20, Operation no 30 (OP30-milling) for the respective header
material would be processed externally by sending the partially processed part(WIP) to vendor outside the manufacturing plant. In SAP, the partially processed part doesn't have any material code and will not be updated in the inventory and will be treated as WIP (work in process) and automatic purchase requisition for external processing through production order is generated as follows
For OP30 Milling (Externally processed operation), from PP module perspective, we would be maintaining a control key which supports external
processing in the Operation 30 (OP30, external processed operation - An externally processed operation is not carried out within own organization, but is assigned to a vendor, who then does the work) with relevant information such as material group, purchase group, description of operation, cost element to track costs in the production order.
When the respective production order is saved, system creates a purchase requisition for external processed operation 30. We can see
the number of the purchase requisition on the external processing tab of operation details screen of OP30 in SAP Production order.
Purchasing department generates a purchase order against the automatic purchase requisition generated in production order, which informs the
vendor which service is required.
With reference to the purchase order – service oriented, the WIP material (no material code exists in SAP) is sent out to vendor. After the material has been processed, the vendor delivers the material back to manufacturing plant. When a goods receipt against purchase order is posted at manufacturing plant, the system displays the received quantity on the external processing tab of operation details screen of the operation - OP30 in production order and also displays in order information system reports. It also possible to track the cost incurred for external operation. However, Goods receipt against production order does not cause an increase in the quantity and value of the warehouse stock of header material of production order.
The above mentioned process is not a subcontracting process - where in we send raw materials and receive semi-finished/finished materials from vendor
3. The respective partially processed part (WIP) received from vendor is sent to shop floor to complete the rest of the process
in OP40 (shaping) and OP50 (powder coating).
4. After OP50, the respective header material (semi-finished/finished) of the production order will be received (goods
receipt against production order) as inventory in respective storage location.
With reference to the above process, we can track the status of receipt of WIP material from vendor after processing at his premises;
however, we can’t track when WIP material ( after completing processing at OP20) was sent out to vendor for external processing by purchasing department and when WIP material was returned back to production shop floor for further processing at OP40 after receiving from vendor by stores.
Please provide your feedback for the possibility to track the details of WIP material (no material code exists in SAP system) sent out to
vendor and received back at shop floor from stores for external processed operation of production order
Thanks for help in advance.
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
Process what ever you have explained is the right process with respective to operation wise subcontracting as per SAP Best practice. As you rihtly said in operation wise subcontracting PR is created with any material code. Once PR is created after PO and GR actual cost of that particular operation will be seen on the order. I believe sub contact operation after GR can be confirmed through confirmation transactions. Since it is subcontract operation specfic to peration seperate inventory is not tracked instead cost is reflecting directly on order
If you to want to track the inventory of the intermdiate product then you need to have a seperate material code for intermediate product (Eg A) received after second operation and do seperate subcontacting PR for seperate new material (Eg B) by issuing the intermediate material (Eg. A). Upon receivng GR for PO inventory will be updated for the new material (Eg B).This new material can be issued to your final product which has operation 0040 and 0050. Here two different material codes will be required.
Else follow the suggestion given by expert Caetano.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramagiri

Row-Based Only option for post processing operator

Hi,
Have a question on the role of the "Row-base Only" option for post processing operators. I am trying to understand how a post-processing operation can be done in a row-based mode. A coded PLSQL procedure in a post processing operator is expected to run only once. So I am not clear on how this option might affect the execution of the transformation. Any clarifications would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mazen

Hi Carsten,
My question is more on what is the use of the "Row-based only" checkbox that shows up in the properties window for a post-processing operator. How does this checkbox affect the execution of the post-processing transformation?

WMIC with Arguments/ Parameter while use PROCESS CREATE CALL exe

Hi Team,
I want to call exe from remote system using WMIC direct command. for that I prepare one command here
WMIC /NODE:"RemoteSys" /USER:"domain\username" /PASSWORD:"XXXXXXXXX" PROCESS CREATE CALL "C:\Program Files (x86)\Company\Product\productapp.exe"
But issue here is this productapp.exe is expecting an arguments/ parameters like " -p PlantA "
Question here is How to pass it ?
I tried many alternate ways but all fails like:
WMIC /NODE:"RemoteSys" /USER:"domain\username" /PASSWORD:"XXXXXXXXX" PROCESS CREATE "C:\Program Files (x86)\Company\Product\productapp.exe" -p PlantB
Output: Invalid Verb Switch
WMIC /NODE:"RemoteSys" /USER:"domain\username" /PASSWORD:"XXXXXXXXX" PROCESS CREATE "C:\Program Files (x86)\Company\Product\productapp.exe" "-p PlantB"
Output: Invalid format. Hint: <paramlist> = <param> [, <paramlist>].
Don't know what is paramlist & How to use that.
Can anyone help me here ?

How to use pre-mapping process operator

Hi,
I am using OWB version 10.1.0.4.0.
There are two source tables namely src1_tb(id1,field1,field2), src2_tb(id2,field3,field4) and a target table namely target_tb(id1,id2,field1,field2,field3,field4).
It's a simple mapping with a join operator. Here, when I try to use a pre-mapping process operator 'LENGTH', with input from outgroup of join operator (field1) and output linked to an added field( VALUE_LENGTH) in Traget Table, it gives error "VLD-2451: Connection to premapping is invalid" and a warning "VLD-1008 :Referenced mapping column VALUE_LENGTH" does not exist"
Can anyone please let me know how to use pre-mapping process operator.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Pawan

yes, a pre-mapping procedure is not what you want here.
Pre-mapping procedures run once when the mapping initializes and before the actual ETL is run. IT is a place where you could do some custom data cleansing / validation, populate your own audit loggin tables if you wish, or whatever other things you might like to do.
For what you are describing, you want to pass the field through an expression object. Drop the Expression on the canvas and drag a link from the field in your OUTGRP to the INGRP on the expression This will auto-create the corresponding ingrp attribute in the expression for that field. Then double-click the expression object to bring up it's properties sheet. You will then want to create an OUTGRP attribute called length_value of type number, and set it's Expression property to length(ingrp1.your_Field_name_here). You can then connect from this outgrp field to your field in the target table.
Cheers,
Mike

I have been trying to obtain original gray install/restore discs for a 1.42 eMac. Definitely no copies. Can anyone help. Tried every ebay supplier.

I have been trying to obtain original gray install/restore discs for a 1.42 eMac. Definitely no copies. Can anyone help. Tried every ebay supplier.

You could try Apple software sales at 1 800 MY APPLE and see if they still have original system discs for the eMac in question.
You would need to give them the model and serial No. of your eMac.
This is located behind the panel that opens the CD/DVD drive tray or on the drive's front panel when the drive door is open.
Be advised that if they have these discs , it will be a set that would have come, originally, with the eMac model.
The OS will not be up to date. I believe your model eMac came, originally, with OS X 10.4 or OS X 10.4.2 Tiger.
OS X10.4 Tiger is seven years old as of this year!
You could just spend the $129 dollars to buy OS X 10.5 Leopard retail discs.
Call the same number and ask of they have anymore OS X 10.5 discs still available.
There are no new iDevices that will sync and backup using 10.4 Tige any longer.
So, getting 10.5 maybe a better alternative for you.
Your eMac is fast enough to handle 10.5 Leopard with no, appreciable, issues.
Good Luck!

Lync mobile W8 client unable to process a call on Nokia lumia 920 A&TT

I have and end user that can use all other functionality of the lync mobile client it just will not process a call.
The logs from the phone are not very helpful....
I have others with newer nokia lumia 9xx devices that work.
They are on verizon.
The user does not see "Cert errors" when trying to go to our external web link.
ideas????
jim smith

Hi,
From your description, it seems the issue only happen for one mobile client.
If it is the case, please login to other mobile Lync client with the issued Lync account to check if the issue happen with Lync account.
For the issued mobile, please try to update to the latest version of Lync mobile client and then test again.

Regarding Costing in External processing operation in production Order

Hi Everybody,
We are trying to do sub contracting through external processing operation in production order. In brief, we are creating a production order which contains just one operation and when the prod.order gets released, it creates a purchase req through external processing operation. Pur.Req is being converted to Pur.Order with all the Raw's which we are going to send to Sub Contractor..
The costing issues we are facing are
1. First we receive GR against Pur.Order, once its done, the Raw's which we sent to Sub.Contractor will be backflushed.. but we dont receive the Finihsed part until we confirm the production order.... there is a Gap between this two processes.. so how can we make sure that there wont be any differences in terms of FI..
2. Second issue is, some times even if we ordered 10 pcs, subcontractor can only send 5pcs and 5 pcs afterwards.. but every month end FI dept tries to close the books, so how can we deal with this issue if i receive 5 pcs in this month and remaining 5 in the next month...
If any body dealth with this kind of situation.. your hints will be really valuable,
Adavnce thanks
srikanth

Dear Srikanth,
Please note the following:
1. First we receive GR against Pur.Order, once its done, the Raw's which we sent to Sub.Contractor will be backflushed.. but we dont receive the Finihsed part until we confirm the production order.... there is a Gap between this two processes.. so how can we make sure that there wont be any differences in terms of FI..
- a) Issue your raw materials through T.Code. - MB1B, Mvt. Type - 541. This will transfer materials from your stock to vendor stock (provided you have initiated vendor material provision and activated 541 mvt. type for PP)
b) After you receive the material back from vendor, run the T.Code MB01, which will cause Mvt. Types 543 and 101. Now the material has come back to your Production order, but not in Storage location stock.
c) Then carry on normal CO11N and MB31 for your production order.
Hope this will solve your problem.
Revert back if you still have any question.

Confirmation of external processing operation

Dear All,
I would like to know is it possible to prevent the confirmation of an external processing operation (pp02 control key) until the Purchase Order associated with that operation is received (GR) ?
I checked the forum for this, but was unable to find any inputs & also in customizing where i find only settings for confirmation of orders & not at operation level.
Hope my problem is clear, await inputs.
Regards,
Vivek

Yes,
it can be done but no through std SAP setting...but with user exit.
Check this exit
CONFPP03 PP order conf.: Cust. specific check after op. selection
CONFPP04 PP order conf.: Customer specific input checks
CONFPP05 PP order conf.: Customer specific enhancements.

So I just bought a used MacBook from Amazon with OSX 10.5.8. I am trying to install new software and operating system, but I don't have the passwords to the Users set up in the computer. What do I do?

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.
