  • Use member on data form does not work

    Hello,
    "Use member on data" option does not work on composite Data Form. Business rule associated with composite form.
    Who is resolve this problem?
    Version hyperion: 11.1.2
    Thanks

    I don't have a solution for you but more steps to solve the problem
    You are ultimately on the right track in some ways but break it down into it's components.
    The problem could like in the business rule, the form connection, the variables, even the order of operations could all be in play.
    So I would strip this baby down to its bare bones then build it back up.
    1) Run the business rule. Each one separately and only after the previous ones is complete without variables and without touching the form
    Is it successful: go to 2
    If it isn't successful: trouble shoot the calc and or try running in EAS natively to see if that gives you ideas
    2) Run the calc outside the form but with variables included. Did it prompt you correctly.
    Is it successful: go to 3
    If it isn't. What is wrong with the variable
    3) Now attach it to the form but don't hide the prompts
    Still good go to 4
    4) hide the prompts and run on save
    And if it fails on step four then it's not picking up the right variables in the prompt. And you need to look at why it wouldn't grab the right item.
    This will isolate your problem for you and give you steps to fix it. Ultimately 99% of the time something did change in the structure for example that is impacting the calc. And when you isolate the problem this will reveal itself quite quickly.

  • File sharing with MBP does not work

    The problem is that I cannot connect to my first-gen MacBook Pro from my 2 Ghz Intel iMac in my own home network. I have tried opening all ports in the sharing menu without success. The laptop shows up in the finder window but no connection is made. There is not even an error message. It simply says (after a long while) that the connection failed. Nothing even happens when I try to click on the "connect as" button. This is true for file sharing and screen sharing. I can connect to the iMac from the laptop, ironically enough. I was able to connect both ways at one point. My set-up is as follows: airport express connected to modem/router; iMac and laptop connected wirelessly to airport express. Any ideas would be great. I am at a complete loss as the laptop has no other connection issues of any kind.
    Update: I just got an error message for the first time: The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again.

    Connecting via "connect to server" in finder menu using afp does not work either. FYI. It just tries connecting for a long while and then gives me the following error (-36). The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "afp://....." could not be read or written.

  • My iMovie & iDVD does not work properly at all.

    When I try to share a movie in iMovie, it says "Unable to prepare project for publishing". As well as "The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Error in user parameter list)". Also, it wont import any videos no matter what the format is. I have uninstalled the program & re-installed it but nothing seems to work.
    iDVD does not let me create a project and edit it. It also does not let me create a DVD.
    I have an '07 Macbook w/ Snow Leopard operating system and I have run out of ideas as to why these 2 programs are not working for me.
    Please help!!!

    First try Resetting it: Hold down the home and sleep button, ignore the red OFF slider, wait for the Apple logo then let go.
    If that does not work, Restore your iPhone in iTunes from your backup.
    If that still does not fix it, Restore your iPhone and a new phone (not from backup) and see how it works. If it is doing fine you have a app you are using that is probably causing your problem. Load them one and a time until the problems recur and you will have found the one that is a problem.

  • Pioneer Blue ray burner does not work in a Mavericks.

    MY Pioneer Blu Ray burner BRD-RW 206D does not work and I get this message (The disc can’t be used because the disc drive is not supported (error code 0x80020025). I have the last firm ware update in it. It worked fine in Mountain Lion but not in Mavericks.

    Hi, everyone
    just wanted to report I've been successfully using my Pioneer BDR-208D for a couple of days now with no further problems.
    I power-cycled and put to sleep the MacPro a few times, and burned a few DVDs and a couple of BD-RE disks.
    So, to summarize my experience:
    Pioneer BDR-208DBK in second (lower) bay
    Mavericks on Mac Pro (early 2008)
    Superdrive in upper bay
    Drive not appearing in eject menu button, alt-eject on keyboard
    dialog pop-up: "The disc can’t be used because the disc drive is not supported (error code 0x80020025)".
    What I did:
    Booted back into Lion
    Inserted non-blank media in the BD drive (a CD in my case)
    Rebooted into Mavericks with the CD still inside the drive
    System found the drive and enable eject both on keyboard and menu
    Disabled "Put hard disks to sleep..." in Energy Saver prefpane - this is what I believe stopped the seemingly random disappearing of the drive
    Hope this helps...

  • Request Scope for portlets? Sharing data tutorial does not work for portlet

    I created 2 identical applications, one that was a regular JSF web app, and one a JSR168 portlet. By following the "Sharing Data Between Two Pages" tutorial, I can get this technique to work without a problem in the web app, but the portlet (deployed locally using the pluto server) does not work. What is the difference between a regular app and a portlet app?
    This shows that portlets apparently handle scope much differently than other applications, so any information relating to this would be helpful to pass along.

    Portlet Life Cycle Differences
    A portlet page is the same as a web application page in the Creator 2 application
    model with differences only in the page life cycle. To best understand the life
    cycle differences, you must first understand how a portal interacts with a portlet.
    This interaction between portals and portlets is defined by the JSR-168 Portlet
    specification. Typically a portal display in the web browser shows multiple
    portlets. That is, when the portal page is displayed, there are actually multiple
    portlets displaying or rendering their content. The job of the portal is to manage
    how these portlets are displayed. Internally, the portal is responsible for telling
    each portlet two things:
    1. When to display itself
    2. If there has been an action, such as a button press, performed inside that
    portlet.
    When a portal wants portlets to display their contents, the portal sends a render
    request to each portlet showing in the portal. If one of the portlets showing in the
    portal has a button tied to an action request, when that button is pushed, the
    portal fires an action request for that portlet. In addition, the portal generates a
    render request for the portlet and all other portlets on the page. You should note
    that the portal implementation fires both action and render requests for each
    action method on a portlet showing in the portal. The implication of this
    interaction means the portlet page being rendered can not make assumptions
    about the state of the values to be shown. Unlike a normal web application page,
    a portlet page can't assume that the page being rendered in the Render Response
    phase is the same page that was built in Restore View. If a portlet wants to
    maintain state across repeated render requests, the portlet must use the session
    bean to store stateful information.
    The main point to remember is a portlet page must always be prepared to render
    it's values from scratch or session data. This implies you should never bind
    portlet page UI components to page bean properties or request bean properties.
    Also, you should never rely on page bean instance variables that might be set
    during an action event.
    Hope this helps.

  • Shared Libray UDF does not work for all objects

    I have created a shared UDF Library and am successfully using the code in other mappings.
    however when i am trying to apply the code to two new mappings, the code does not work!  there is nothing special about the code.  just get the MessageID.
    public String GetMessageID(Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
    //This UDF gets the PI message ID
    String constant;
    java.util.Map map;
    map = container.getTransformationParameters();
    constant = (String) map.get(StreamTransformationConstants.MESSAGE_ID);
    return constant;
    it works when i enter the messageID in graphical mapping, but when i test end to end, it does not work!
    and as i mentioned, it works in two other interfaces...   but not in the new one! 
    any thoughts?

  • Multiple row column-sharing with GridBadLayout does not work as expected

    I was trying to figure out why I could not initially accomplish the following with a GridBagLayout:
    Row0: 0000011111
    Row1:      1111122222
    Row2:           2222233333The above is supposed to be 3 JLabels on three different rows:
    The 1st row has a single JLabel starting in column 0 with a width of 2, extending it to column 1.
    The 2nd row has a single JLabel starting in column 1 with a width of 2, extending it to column 2.
    The 3rd row has a single JLabel starting in column 2 with a width of 2, extending it to column 3.
    The entire grid is 4 columns and 3 rows total.
    Below I have two examples where I attempted the above. Only the 2nd example produces the desired effect. The 1st code example ends up putting both the Row 0 and Row 1 JLabel in the same column. This was surprising because I thought the GridBagLayout would give each column contained by a control enough weight to actually make those columns exist.
    Here is what my first code example below produces:
    Row0: 0000011111
    Row1: 1111122222
    Row2:           2222233333The first two JLabels, 0000011111 and 1111122222, appear in the same column, and the 3rd JLabel appears in the seemingly 2nd column. This was confusing to me which is the point of this whole post.
    In order to gain the desired effect, I had to place 4 blank dummy empty JLabel components in a non-visible Row 0 of the grid. I did this for all 4 columns of that invisible row 0. The row is non-visible because the JLabel have no text or output. After adding this non-visible Row 0, all of the original mentioned Rows 0 through 2 become Rows 1 through 2 respectively.
    For example:
    Row0: iiiiiIIIIIiiiiiIIIII
    Row1: 0000011111
    Row2:      1111122222
    Row3:           2222233333The above shows an inserted Row 0 with invisible labels that are not seen, but they seem to give weight to each column, allowing each to exist. Without doing this, as mentioned, the first code example (shown below) fails. The second example (also below) works, so it appears that putting the invisible controls into the first row, one in each column, somehow gives enough weight to each column to "establish" the column more so than otherwise.
    The big question I have is why didn't the first example work?
    I mean, in that example, I'm giving each JLabel equal weight, and each one takes up a width of 2 columns, so why doesn't the JLabel in the second row end up in column 1? Instead, both the original row 0 and row 1 JLabels appear in what looks like column 0, the same column. Does anyone know why this happened?
    The invisible control solution is fine but I'm just curious why it wasn't as intuitive as it should have been. The only thing I can come up with is that the weight of the 1st and 2nd JLabel (row 0 and 1) got combined in some fashion which combined them into column 1 which end up looking like column 0 since 0 somehow looses all weight. (???)

    I think I figured out the general reason for the problem based on a quick trace through of the GridBadLayout code in a simple example, and I wanted to share my findings in case they may be useful to anyone else. I felt there were some concepts gleaned from the source code that don't appear reinforced with documentation or, more importantly, in tutorials or books I checked. That's why I wanted to share my findings with this simple yet perplexing example.
    This example is very much like the one in my original post except it is more simple and only uses two JLabels.
    I created a grid with the following settings:
    JLabel1,gridx=0,gridy=0,gridwidth=2,weightx=1.0
    JLabel2,gridx=1,gridy=1,gridwidth=2,weightx=1.0Using the character '1' for JLabel1, and the character '2' for JLabel2, and 'x' for an "empty" grid cell, the above gives me the following simple conceptual layout:
    11x
    x22But the 'x' cell columns don't receive any weight, so things actually appear as follows:
    11
    22Internally, GridBagLayout (GBL), is really producing the following:
    11x
    x22But since the 'x' locations take no weight, they therefore get no size, so both JLabels appear as though they are in the first and only column.
    From what I can see, it doesn't really matter what I do, I'll never be able to produce the following effect with just two JLabels:
    11x
    x22I cannot do the above with just two JLabel components and a GridBagLayout. The reason is that the GridBagLayout, while it does define a "grid" of rows and columns, the grid is not a grid that actually relates to what is displayed. It's really a grid that defines what I'll refer to as "weight collisions" or "weight pools." If two components share, say, a grid column, their weights will combine with respect to that column. But the total size of the grid doesn't play a role in enforcing that some sort of grid display is maintained. The grid can possibly do that, but it would probably be safer to view that result as a side-effect produced by using the "weight pools" created by the grid itself.
    In the above simple example, JLabel1 ends up giving gridx 1 (0 being first) its full weight of 1.0. The gridx 0 column receive zero weight from JLabel1. What happens is the code in GridBagLayout sees that there are no presently assigned weights to column 0 and it simply assigns all remaining unassigned weight of JLabel1 to JLabel1's last, right-most in this case, gridx column. This means that gridx 1 gets the full 1.0.
    By contrast, though, when processing JLabel2, the GridBagLayout sees the previously assigned 1.0 to gridx 1 (JLabel1's right-most grid column) and it ends up assigning all of JLabel2's weight to that same grid location, gridx 1. In this case, even though JLabel2 supposedly spans through to gridx 2, the actual gridx 2 column gets 0 weight from JLabel2 and therefore gets no width.
    The result is that both JLabel1 and JLabel2 give 100% of their weight to gridx column 1 (what I called above a "weight pool" rather than a grid location), and both gridx 0 and gridx 2 receive 0 weight and I'm guessing appear without any size. What's odd about this is that even though JLabel1 starts at gridx=0, it really doesn't draw itself anywhere but starting at gridx=1. Likewise, even though JLabel2 draws itself supposedly from gridx=1 through to gridx=2, it doesn't really go into gridx=2 because gridx=2 doesn't get any width.
    In fact, given the code in GridBagLayout, it doesn't matter how much weight I give to either JLabel, all 100% of the weight will end up in gridx 1, the "center" grid location. The only way to get columnar distribution is to create other components to force the GridBagLayout to see individual columns which match the "grid." When I do this, the columns allow me to create the JLabels in a fashion where they intent/stagger, where a JLabel can start at a "column" location that is in the middle of another JLabel.
    Given this, I've come to the conclusion that it's not worthwhile to look at the GBL "grid" as a grid that propagates grid-like visual locations. It's more like the grid exists during the computation of weights which end up determining the true columns and rows that will visually exist, which may well not be anything like the grid locations one might visualize when looking at the constraints used.
    I think it's unfortunate that many examples and tutorials don't reinforce this concept with simple examples that help one grasp this easily. Most examples I see actually can fool a user into thinking a grid is a true grid in that positions represent visual locations, or that a control spanning into a grid column means that weight will be (at least) partially distributed there.
    You very often won't see the problem I'm describing above when you have dialogbox-like alignment of components which most tutorials and examples utilize. For example, if I take the same example as above, but intent JLabel so that it's gridx is 2, not 1, then both JLabels will not be sharing a single grid column so their weights won't collide. In such a case, one might be misled into thinking that a GridBagLayout's grid is truly providing row/col locations when it's not really doing that. Instead, in this latter case, one is really gaining that effect because certain unintuitive weight collisions. which would produce unexpected results, are being avoided.
    I thought weightx values would give a weight equally to all gridx columns that a component spans but that doesn't seem to be the case here. In fact, it's not even a components first column in my simple example above. GBL causes JLabel1 to given all its weight to gridx=1 (and nothing to gridx=0) while GBL causes JLabel2 to give all its weight to gridx=1 (and nothing to gridx=2). In one case, JLabel1, all weight goes to its right-most spanned-to column, while with JLabel2, it goes to JLabel2's entire first gridx location.
    I guess this is what makes GridBagLayout (GBL) unintuitive. But I don't think it's so much unintuitive as it is probably not well documented. When you look at the source code, it explains stuff which should be in the docs. In fact, not one single book I saw gave any help in solving this problem. I'm guessing this is largely because folks use GBL through trial and error until they get what they want, and perhaps they don't often need to indent halfway as I'm trying to do with GBL in the above example. If a lot of components are aligned, the results are not as unexpected. I'd say, though, that even in those not-so-confusing cases, GBL can troublesome without knowing its grid is all about a grid of weight pools which may or may not produce a visual grid depending on all components' constraint settings.

  • Burning does not work

    Everytime I attempt to burn a CD iTunes either does not burn the CD and responds with a message that says that the CD cannot be recognized (or something to that effect.)
    I followed the suggestions on the iTunes support page which included switching to "data-disc" and lowering the burn speed to 2x. After doing so, the CD did in fact burn, but now will not play on a single CD player. Is the problem the blank CDs, or something else? I've already ruined countless CDs attempting to burn the same playlist, and nothing has worked...Thanks.

    On a CD player the discs appear to be blank, but when put into my computer they show up on iTunes as having music on them.
    Oh. That's a different problem.
    Go to your iTunes preference file (iTunes Menu) and select Advanced>Burning. Audio CD ought to be checked. It sounds like you may have checked "MP3 CD" or "Data CD". MP3 can be read by the more recent Audio Players. "Data CD" cannot be read by Audio Players. Regardless, you want "audio Cd".
    Please post back with results.

  • Closed connection in stalled screen sharing and now does not work

    Using screen sharing I created a second admin account on the computer 2. I enabled quick account switching and tried to switch user accounts to the new admin account. I linked the new admin account to be shared with my existing admin account on computer 1. The screen never switched over to my new admin account and I couldn't quit screen sharing so I closed the connection with computer 2. Now I can't share the screen with computer 2 at all, even using my original admin account (not the newly created one). I can't reboot my computers because it will abort jobs that need to remain running.
    I can still share screens between computer 1 and other computers (i.e. not computer 2) but when I try to share with computer 2, it doesn't even ask me to log in.

    This issue remains unresolved, but since Apple Discussions decided to archive my question it is impossible to receive any replies.

  • Downgrade using Snow Leopard install DVD does not work on iMac 27"

    I have an iMac 27" (SMC version 1.54f36) that I wish to downgrade. I bought a 5-user Snow Leopard license. Now I'm trying to re-install from the DVD, but the computer won't boot on the DVD.
    If I run the installer from the desktop, the installation starts, but when the computer reboots, it gets stuck. No alterations is done on the system disk, so I can hold down the Alt key and choose to boot from the system disk and I'm still on 10.6.5. For the moment I cannot find the discs supplied with the iMac, but surely the SL install DVD should work?? I've used it once before to do a clean SL install (I believe the iMac I have came with Leopard).
    The version on the SL install DVD is 10.6 (2Z691-6558-A)
    The reason for downgrading is that my Pro Apps (DVDSP and FCP) got a bit shaky when I updated to 10.6.5.

    If you have a 27" iMac, it had to ship with Snow Leopard installed. See Mac OS X versions (builds) included with Intel-based Macs to confirm this, & Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac for why you should not try to downgrade to an earlier version.
    If the version on your SL install DVD is 10.6, then it is an early version & will not work with your iMac. The current retail product version installs 10.6.4 & should work if your iMac is the "Late 2009" model. It probably will not work if your iMac is the "Mid 2010" model.
    You need your grey system discs. They should be kept accessible wherever you use your iMac. If you have lost them, contact Apple about getting a replacement set.

  • Ichat is not working.  tried using port 443 and still does not work

    ichat not working.  tried using port 443 and i stay on for about 45 seconds then it disconnects.  Can you help?

    HI,
    Can you tell me the make and model of your routing device.
    The 10 Second error message is caused by a break in the connection.
    This could be the Wifi being dropped (if you are using WiFi) due to interference from other nearby routers.
    It can be dues to setting or features of the router and if the experience has changed that could be due to a speed increase in your internet service.
    If you are using Ethernet and having this issue it is much more likely to be a setting/feature issue.
    Examples.
    Netgears.  These have a separate WAN set up page that lists either DoS or SPI as one of the things that can be Enabled or Disabled.
    Linksys.  If your model has a Security tab and this has  Firewall then DoS and SPI are port of this.
    Netopia devices Tend to have a 4 level Firewall which DoS and SPI are part of the two highest settings.
    DoS = Denial Of Service and is a Threshold based "Protection" Feature.
    it judges whether too much data is being sent to you  (it was designed originally to stop people overloading Web Servers (many people, many refreshes).
    iChat can outstrip the setting with most Internet Connections in most part of the world.  (In fact iChat can send more data than most Video Streaming sites)
    One thing you can do that may get around this is to reduce the Bandwidth used in iChat (iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit drop down)
    Try 500kbps

  • Setting Duration of Photos (still clips) in iMovie '11 Does Not Work

    Howdy -
    I realize there are already similar posts to this one, but so far as I could tell, most of them involve (& focus on) transitions, whereas my issue is strictly with setting the duration for which a photo is held in iMovie.
    Effectively, I am trying to get a 'stop motion' feel from iMovie. I deselected the auto-apply 'Ken Burns' to all photo imports in the project preferences and figured I would edit the photo duration afterwards, given that the shortest possible duration in the project preferences is 1s, which is much too long. That is where I run into trouble: the "duration" field is acting up a great deal - sometimes it won't even respond to my entering different numbers, other times it will. Sometimes when it does respond to my typing numbers, it won't let me type anything in the decimal position. When it does let me type something in the decimal position, e.g. 0.2s, when I hit enter, it re-sets the time to 2.0s. I've tried different formats for entering time (0:00:2; 0:00:02; 0,2; with & w/out 's' etc) - all to no avail.
    I'm very curious to know if anyone else has reported this problem, & if so what the solution is.
    In case anyone else is having this problem, I did find a workaround:
         1. Import your photos as necessary
         2. Select one photo and manually crop to desired time scale (e.g. 0.3s)
         3. "Trim to selection"
         4. Select that same clip & bring up the window for editing the duration, check the "apply to all stills" box.
         5. voila - amazingly this works.
    Although this is a perfectly easy workaround, I'm a little disconcerted by the fact that iMovie won't repond properly & would be very interested to understand why.
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Kind regards,
    Rax.

    Hi Rax,
    This may not help, but in iMovie Preferences there is an option to display time down to the frame level. So, rather than entering time as a decimal, you enter each time component separated by a colon. So, 2.5 seconds would be entered as 2:15 - that's 2 seconds and 15 frames (for NTSC or 30 fps formatted video).
    See this screenshot:
    As I mentioned, this may not help. At times I've also had trouble adjusting the duration of stills, even though I have my preferences set to display time at the frame level. Transitions can cause issues with stills duration. In most cases, a transition can be no longer than half the duration of the shortest clip on either side.
    Notwithstanding the transition methodology, my feeling is that there is a bug in iMovie that causes problems with stills duration in certain circumstances. This applies to both iMovie '09 and iMovie '11 (also possibly '08).
