Unable to set recording mode to custom or training simulation. Always resets to default demo mode

I'm working in a newly installed version of Captivate 4. I am going into edit preferences for the recording mode. I am changing the default from demonstration, to custom, or training simulation. (I've tried both.) Even if I resave my project immediately after, if I try to record, it records in demonstration mode instead of what I had selected. So I went back in and changed the project back to training simulation, and closed the edit preferences box. When I immediately reopened the edit preferences box and looked, it had defaulted back to demonstration mode. I know that I am not accidentally hitting the restore defaults button. How can I get this to record in anything other than demonstration mode?

Hi there
Unfortunately it would appear that you are misunderstanding how these actually work.
When you click Edit > Preferences > Recording > Modes you see a list of different modes that you may record in. Think of each of these modes as being similar to a recipe. You configure the ingredients used in the recipe here. So later, if someone wants to use the Demonstration recipe, the ingredients are what you configured in this area.
Now, when you prepare to record your project, you choose the recipe you wish to use by clicking the icon in the gray strip. This should produce the flyout menu where you may choose the recipe you modified earlier.
Cheers... Rick

AP: Unable to set world mode

Cisco recommends using the world-mode dot11d country-code interface configuration command to configure a country code on DFS-enabled radios. The IEEE 802.11h protocol requires access points to include the country information element (IE) in beacons and probe responses. By default, however, the country code in the IE is blank. Use the world-mode command to populate the country code IE.
I'm trying to set world-mode for AP1250 802.11n 5ghz but it doesnt recognize the command.
AP(config-if)#world-mode dot11d US
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
The ^ is under "US"
World-mode country code box is empty on the GUI and the CLI would not accept the command. Any idea on this one?

Hello Derrick,
As per your query i can suggest you the following solution-
When world mode is enabled, the Cisco Access Point (AP) adds channel carrier set information to its beacon. Client devices with world mode enabled receive the carrier set information and adjust their settings automatically. For example, a client device used primarily in Japan can rely on world mode to adjust its channel and power settings automatically when that device travels to Italy and joins a network there. World mode is disabled by default.
For more information on world mode, refer to the Enabling and Disabling World Mode section of Configuring Radio Settings.
For more information on channels and antennas, refer to Channels and Antenna Settings.
Note: The channels are hard-coded on AP chips. The world mode does not change the number of channels that are supported in a country. For example, in the U.S., channel 14 cannot be used even if world mode is configured.
Hope this will work

Converting Demo Movie to Custom or Training simulation

Does anyone know if there is a way to convert an
exiting movie into a trining or custom simulation where the user
would actually have to do the mouse clicks and enter the
information for training?

Hi mason93 and welcome to the community
No, there is no magical "easy button" for doing this. You can
take one of the following approaches.
1. When recording:
Enable all conceivable options. Then duplicate the recording
either within the same movie or save as to create a second copy.
Then you remove the interactive elements from the demonstration
portion and remove the demonstration bits from the simulation
portion.
2. With an existing movie:
Dupduplicate the recording either within the same movie or
save as to create a second copy. Then you add the interactive
elements to create the simulation.
Whether you save as or duplicate slides in a single movie
will depend on the size of your movie. If your movie is already at
or near about 60 slides or so, then you want to save as and work
with a different project. But if you only have perhaps 25 or 30
slides, then you can copy all of them and paste back into the same
movie.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Show Typing in Training Simulation Mode

Hi -
I recorded some screens using the Training Simulation mode
and I'm wondering if it's possible to allow the end user to control
the flow until they get a screen where they need to type something
in a text field. At this point I would like to just have the end
user see the typing appear on the screen. After the typing appears
the end user could then click on the appropriate button to continue
with the Training Simulation.
For example: How to Save a Word Document.
The end user would click on File to display the File menu.
Then click on Save As... to display the Save As dialog box. The
name of document file they are saving would automatically type
(show typing) for them then the user clicks on the Save button.
Is this scenario possible?

Hi Chris,
My apologies for the misunderstanding. You can't directly do
what you want in the Training Simulation recording mode because by
default the mode settings eliminate capture of typing and replace
it with the text-entry box. Sorry.
There are several ways to handle the situation, though. One
is to record in Demonstration mode. Be sure that "Record
Keystrokes" is checked, on the Options > Recording Options
dialog. The keystrokes will be recorded for you. Of course, then
you will have to add the interactivity (click-boxes, etc.) that
would have been entered for you in the simulation mode.
Another option you might like better is to go to my friend
and fellow community expert Paul Dewhurst's web-site and get a
text-animation called "aimee typing". After downloading it, just
place it in the folder:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
2\Gallery\TextAnimations (for Captivate version 2), or
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Captivate\Gallery\TextAnimations
(for version 1).
Paul's web-site is at:
http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/
and what you need is located in the "Downloads" section (see
panel on the left for links). There are a bunch (13?) of
text-animations there, and if I were you I'd get them all - be
aware you may have to register and/or pay Paul for them, but they
are worth far more than he asks - if he is charging for them.
With Paul's text animation you can add "live" typing effects
on the fly, controling the font, font size, font color, and typing
speed. It does take a little planning to get things to appear
correctly and at the right time, but is not very difficult.
To answer your last question, "Show Typing" should
never appear when you have recorded in Training Simulation
mode - because typing is never captured in that mode. Good luck and
have a great day!

Service Desk Unable to set status to Customer Action and Proposed Solution

Hi Everyone,
We are unable to set a service desk issue to the status Customer Action or Proposed solution.
I have someone create a new issue in the bakend system and when I receive the issue I assign it to myself as the processor. When I try to set teh status to Customer action it is grayed out.
I have checked the following:
1. As a test I assigned My user with sap_all profile so does not appear to be authroisation related
2. The status profile has all six standard values (New, customer action, In Process, Sent to SAP, Proposed Solution, Confirmed).
3. The transaction types have been defined using the standard profiles for Text Det. Procedure, Partnet Determination Procedure, Status Profile. The Partner Function ORG is set to Sold-To-Party , The date profile is a SRV_SLA_ITEM and the Action profile is set to SLFN0001_ADVANCED. The Org Data Prof is set to a customer defined one: ZSSC000000001.
4. I have checked transaction ppoma_crm and the org structure and my user is assigned to a team lead position.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Michael

Hi Michael,
please check your status profile for the "lowest status no." and "highest status no." values of the status values as Alex mentioned!
You can find this in SPRO under "SAP Solution Manager> Scenario-Specific Settings>Service Desk>Service Desk>Status Profile".
If the "high" value of the status "New" is lower than the status number of status "Customer Action" than you can not set the message from "New" to "Customer Action"!
Hope this helps,
Christoph

Unable to set custom keybindings in gnome

I'm using forced fallback mode so I can disable gnome-panel and use AWN instead. And that's working great, except that when I'm in fallback mode my custom keybindings are completely ignored, but the defaults work. I've tried setting them in 'system settings'>'keyboard', ccsm, and org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings with dconf-editor.
Where normally (when using gnome-shell) there's a 'windows' section in 'system settings'>'keyboard', that section is not visible for me. When I change the bindings in ccsm and close it, they're back to default when I check again later. And the settings in dconf-editor persist, but are apparently being ignored in favor of the defualts.
Am I just overlooking a config file somewhere or what?

Thank you for the quick response!
Firefox does seem to have a much more reliable printing engine. Unfortunately, I am using a number of webkit CSS attributes available only within Safari. Gradients being one of these. Perhaps it's time to give up on them and simply render these custom layout elements as images... It's a pity really! Webkit delivers some very promising new technology for cross-media content delivery, yet without reliable print/pdf output control, these technologies and techniques are essentially useless.
I did leave feedback on this issue. Perhaps Apple will come up with a solution before I am forced to rebuild. .I most certainly would appreciate additional ideas and suggestions.
Thanks again

Unable to set safari in full-screen mode

Hi folks,
I just factory reset my 15-inch MBP running 10.9.3. After doing so, I notice that I am unable to set Safari in full-screen mode. Any ideas??

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Unable to set node credentials for /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 with record name n`.

When starting Server Preferences, I receive a window with the following text:Unable to set node credentials for /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 with record name n`. There may be an error with the Open Directory Service.
This started to occur after I used the command changeip to change the ip of the service.
I've tried (Re)starting Open Directory Service, but that doesn't resolve it.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this error? I'd like to be able to user Server Preferences again!

One of our servers (10.6.8) that had been running for months suddenly started generating that error message when trying to access Server Preferences. Workgroup Manager, which seems to use the same login information, accessed just fine. We tried deleting access information in Keychain, to no avail. What finally worked for US was:
- Via Server Admin, (in Open Directory > Settings > General) change the Role: Open Directory from Master to Standalone
- This (for us) then restored access to Server Prefs
- Use Server Admin to change the Role back to Master
Warnings - 1) backup first 2) you will have to reinstall the master password, and 3) ALL accounts were lost and had to be recreated.

Unable to set parent context for this record.

Has anyone seen this error when doing an import? In my case I was doing an import to the Opportunity Product record.
the full error message is
Unable to set parent context for this record. Please make sure that the parent record is valid and you have permission to modify the parent record.
I was attempting to populate one field on the record with data.

Hi,
Was there a resolution to this that you found, cause it's driving me crazy.
We've resorted to manually created a product in OnDemand with an EUI and exported it but we can't reimport it to overwrite it as we get the same error message "Unable to set parent context for this record"
The opty and the product both exist as they got manually created, although when you export them there are now 2 of them (I see this in reporting as well????)
Besides the Opty-Product External ID what else is required to do an import to overwrite?
regards
Alex

Custom recording mode in captivate

Captivate has demo, training simulation and assessment
simulation recording modes. It also has a custom mode. What is it
for and How to use it? Does anyone know?

Hi there prabu77
Each of the three modes configures presets.
For example:
* Demonstration mode configures the recording process to add
Text Captions, Highlight Boxes and track Mouse Movement.
* Assessment Simulation configures the recording process to
add Click Boxes with Failure Captions and Text Entry Boxes with
Failure Captions
* Training Simulation configures the recording process to add
Click Boxes with Failure and Hint Captions and Text Entry Boxes
with Failure and Hint Captions
* Custom mode allows you to choose the options that will be
in effect. Maybe you want some combination of elements that the
other modes don't offer.
Hopefully that explained it for you... Rick

Unable to set custom speed to motion path on Camera

This is a followup question to "Controlling speed along motion paths"
(Many thanks to Mark Spencer and specialcase for the their excellent insights getting me this far =)
After experimenting with motion paths and realizing they were indeed what I was looking for, I set up my project so that the camera would follow specific paths along 2d images. Everything worked perfectly until I tried to modify the speed along which the camera travels along those paths.
In the motion path, in the speed drop down menu, I can select Constant, Ease in etc.... all the way to Custom, but they work slightly differently than I expected: while before (ie. applying motion curves to objects as opposed to the camera) I was able to getting a diagonal line in the Keyframe Editor where I could modify keyframes using bezier curves to adjust the speed, now, choosing the various speed options appears to change the "Transform.Position.X" and "Transform.Position.Y" curves directly.
When I select "Custom", "Motion path" and Custom Speed" appear in the keyframe menu above the Camera drop down, but its curve appears only as a dotted, completely horizontal line in the graphing window. The "Transform.Position.X" and "Transform.Position.Y" curves also revert to horizontal dotted lines. If I try to add curves to the custom speed line, the X and Y curves remain horizontal and the camera does not move.
Is there some reason I cannot get custom speeds for cameras without losing my motion path data?
Is there some way to work around this?
Thanks again for all of your help,
Tim

I'm not sure if there is some setting I have wrong:
When I try this, while I am able to set keyframes, the motion path data is reset. (ie. the Transform X and Transform Y curves reset to 0).
In the Keyframe Editor, I can make new curves for the X and Y values and for Timing, but the camera does not follow the motion path, it follows the new x and y curves. Trying to get those curves to match the motion path exactly is a large hassle.
This might help:
If I apply the motion path to an shape rather than to the camera, everything works perfectly (the object moves along the motion path, and I am able to set keyframes for the Custom Speed curve with no problems whatsoever). If I then copy the motion path directly from the shape and paste it to the camera layer, the path appears as a red curve (as it should), but the camera does not move.
Is there some way I can upload the motion file so that you can see what exactly is going on?
Thanks again,
Tim

Recording Mode in DIAdem to be set Programatically

Hi,
I am using DIAdem 9.1. Can you let me know how can I enable the recording mode programatically. Is there any command, I searched through the help file but dint find other than the RecMode variable.
It would be of great help if someone can give me a solution for this.
Expecting for your earliest reponse.
Thanks,
priya

Hi Priya,
I am puzzled by your request. What would be the use-case/purpose of having the Script Recorder started programmatically? In answer to your question, I don't believe it is possible.

How to detect if a user has changed a record using a custom method?

I am in the process of developing a test case application using ADF JSF and a collection of Java objects that are not populated by a database.
Details of what I have developed so far can be found on this post:
how to create a new record using a custom method?
Is it possible to detect if a user has changed the value(s) of a record?
I have set the edit page up (as described in the other post) and this works fine, but how could I tell if the user has changed something on that record. This is what I would like to do, but am not sure how to achieve it or whether it is possible....
when the user puts a record in edit mode, take a copy of that record
then when the user presses save or exit to navigate away from the edit page do a comparison between the original values and the potentially changed ones
then depending on the outcome of the comparison call an appropriate action
Thanks in advance for your help
David

If you just want to know if the value has changed you can put it in a while loop and use shift registers to see if the value has changed.

Unable to update record in web Form

Hi, i am unable to update record in a form. I am building a custom form using forms 6i and putting it on the web in oracle applications 11.5.9
I used template.fmb as a starting point for my form. I have one datablock based on a table. Insert, update and delete properties are set to yes on the property pallete of data block. The table against which i am running the form has a primary key which is a combination of two fields. I am able to update a record with pure SQL running against the table.
My form now brings back a record from the db like it should but whenever I try to update that record either by pressing Action Save or by clicking button that has update statement in it, instead of doing an update, it does an insert and tells me that this record already exists and that i entered value(s) that must be unique for each record. It thinks I want to insert but I want to update. What am i doing wrong???
Update allowed value is set to Yes in all the items in the data block and at the data block level as well. Querly_only is set to no.
What's even more frustratinng is that I've ran the form manually before starting with template.fmb and have been able to update the table but when I put it on the web and used template.fmb it stopped working!
I am very new to forms, can anybody suggest anything? Please help!!!

When you populate the 2nd block with a select into query, it's the same as just typing the data into the block. The record is treated as one needing to be inserted, not as one that is queried.
To populate it using a true query, but with data from the LOV, you can do this:
Programmatically set the default_where clause of the block based on the LOV. For example, if a name is chosen from the LOV in an item called LOV1, you could do:
set_block_property('block2','default_where','name='''||:block1.lov1||'''');
or if the LOV is a number, like a department number:
set_block_property('block2','default_where','deptno='||:block1.lov1);
The tricky part when you build your where clause is that you must surround strings with single quotes, and the way to do this is to use two single quotes to represent an actual single quote in the where clause. Otherwise a single quote is interpreted as part of the PL/SQL syntax.
Then, just navigate to block 2 and execute a query:
go_block('block2');
do_key('execute_query');
I hope this works for you. I didn't have time to test this, so I hope I didn't make any syntax errors when typing.
