Viewer Auto Resizes Columns – when too many columns

Hi Guys,
I’ve created a report in Desktop and am viewing it through Viewer (4.1). The report itself is a simple ‘table’ report with quite a lot of columns. (that’s where my problem comes in). I’m trying to tidy it up (mostly column X), therefore have wrapped a few columns in Discoverer Desktop all should look good….right?… well not quite ;-(
When viewing the Report in Viewer, Viewer has automatically resized or shrunk the columns. I have 24 columns in the report and even after Viewer has done it’s own resize to my columns, I still need to use the scroll bar to view columns to the right. So what was the point of Viewer doing that in the first place? Anyways, column X was originally word wrapped and expanded to include a lengthy description, however after being “Viewered” it is now the width of the heading text itself. Data within this columns is still wrapped, but by the size of the column heading.
I’ve noticed that if I start taking columns out one by one, Viewer will resize and increase the column size by a tiny amount. So to be able to display column X as required in Viewer, I’d have to take out 18 columns to be left with 6, which would then show Column X as the right size.
Please tell me if there is any workaround or settings that can be amended in the Pref.txt file?
Thanks,
Lance

Hi Lance
There is nothing you can do in 4i to control this behavior, one very good reason to upgrade.
Discoverer Viewer will resize its columns in an attempt to fit them on a single page. It does this very well when the number of columns allows this. When you have more columns than can fit into a single page you will get multiple pages. If you reduce the headings for some of the columns are you able to get it to compress into a single page? If not, I fear you cannot do more.
Best wishes

Auto resize columns.

How can i get finder to auto resize my columns in columns view?
(I know how to option-click resize them)
best...Jan

to resize the grey bar on the left, all you need to do is move the arrow to the line on the edge of the box, the far right line and the little symbol that allows you to adjust windows appears and then you can adjust it to any size of your preference. as for the auto-sizing columns, i don't even know how to change the size so i wouldn't know how to auto size it...sorry. hope that helps

Viewer unable to display page when too many parameters are selected.

I have a report that the user can select multiple parameter values. When the user selects too many values and clicks the "Apply Parameters" button, the page will not display. Is there a formatting issue/bug? Is there a way to overcome this?
It does not appear to be a specific number. Instead, it seems that the page will only display when the number of values selected fit on two lines or less on the web page that displays the report results.
Thanks,

I found this document on SDN for displaying paramater values in Crystal reports. There are some good examples in this report. I hope it helps. It helped me out with a simliar problem.

When I close firefox with ctrl-alt-delete, I want to start over on Firefox, I usually do this when too many tabs and windows are open. However, Firefox always restores the tabs and windows I previously had. How can I stop that from happening?

This happens when FireFox is not responding, and I want to close firefox with ctrl-alt-delete. Too many tabs can make Firefox crash. That is why I want to use ctrl-alt-delete to close FireFox. I tried finding a way to disable this, but I found no option to.

Ending the Firefox program or process with the Windows Task Manager "looks like" a crash. The proper way to exit Firefox is click Firefox button > Exit (or File > Exit, if using the Menu Bar).

SSRS 2012 (SP Integrated) report on SP 2013 PerformancePoint Dashboard: when too many filter items selected together report does not update anymore!

I am having a situation with SSRS 2012 (SP-integrated) report rendered on SP 2013 PerformancePoint Dashboard using linked PerformancePoint (PP) filters.
The report works fine as long as too many PP filter items are not selected at the same time. When gradually selecting more items from the filter, the report updates itself until more than a sepecific numer of filter items are selected - the report simply
does not update itself anymore. This "specific number of filter items", when hit, generates the following error in ULS:
An exception occurred while rendering a Web control. The following diagnostic information might help to determine the cause of this problem: System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed.
at System.Uri.CreateThis(String uri, Boolean dontEscape, UriKind uriKind)
at System.UriBuilder..ctor(String uri)

at Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.ServerRendering.ReportViewControl.RenderReportViewControl(HtmlTextWriter writer, ReportView rv) PerformancePoint Services error code 20700.
I already know that the cause of the issue is in the length of the query (perhapse RDL or MDX) that the browser is supposed to pass on to the instance of SSAS.
Some people had suggested a workaround that was suitable for older versions or non-integrated SSRS (see here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/cb6ede72-6ed1-4379-9d3c-847c11b75b32/report-manager-operation-cannot-run-due-to-current-state-of-the-object).
Knowing this, have already done the changes suggested (adding the lines suggested to SP's web.config for Reporting and the web.config of the site on which report is rendred) at no avail, just to make sure.
I have rednered the same report on the same dashboard using SSRS filters and there is no problem; it just works fine. This has to be a bug in PP that is causing this.
Has anyone had the same problem with SSRS 2012 (SP-integrated) report rendered on SP 2013 PP dashboard using PP filter? Any fixes or workarounds?
thnx!

Hello everybody.
I confirm the issue in Service Pack 1 Release 2.
Poor workaround is to remove the repeated infromation from the member keys (in SSAS they can be really long).
The issue seems to be specific to SSRS: Excel Services works well with the same filter.

Raport is extremely small when too many items in multivalue filter selected.

Hello,
I have a problem with report built in SSRS and deployed with Dashboard Designer to Sharepoint. There are few filters connected to report, 2 of them are multivalue. Regardless of data returned, when I select too many items in filter, the report is getting
super small. It doesn't matter what you select, size changes when you select exact number of items or more. I replaced report with single line (filters where still conected) - result was the same.
Small amount of items selected:
More items selected:
Size of the raport in Dashboard Designer is set to "Percentage of dashboard page", when I selected autosize, result was the same. I don't understand the behaviour of this report, do you know what is going on?
Thanks in advance,
MichalGo

Yes, I deleted table and all other items from it, put line from toolbox and uploaded (filters were still connected to the dataset). The result was the same.

Firefox crashes when too many images are opened

Okay, so, a problem that appeared in 4.0 for me, and hasn't gone away ever since.
The problem is basically summarized in the short description - whenever too many heavy images are in the browser's tabs simultaneously, it slows down to a halt; then sometimes as I scroll it fails to redraw the page, with black non-redrawn area increasing as I scroll and disappearing as I change tabs back and forth.
After a dozen seconds of such sad behaviour, the browser crashes.
Sometimes, however, things go better. And it just crashes.
The problem can be easily replicated with Save Images extension, say, on any photo hosting, or by opening
http://danvolodar.livejournal.com/friends/big_picture
It should be noted that 3.6 never had that problem, and opened pages where I aggregated thousands of images, - slowly, of course, but it ''did'' work. 4 and 5 do ''not''.

Go to the address '''about:crashes''' and tell us your latest crash IDs. We can then look at the data specific to your crash and have a better idea of what is causing the problem.
Or you can go to '''Start''' and type in the Vista search box '''%APPDATA%''' then click on '''Roaming''' then go to '''Mozilla>Firefox>Crash Reports>Submitted''' then open the .txt files and copy the Crash report ID that starts with '''bp-xxxxx-xxxx'''

Firefox crashes when too many (3) tabs/windows open

Firefox crashes if too many tabs (3) are opened, if 2 browser windows are open, in Yahoo mail (deleting npYState.dll did not fix it) and does not give me a crash report. Internet explorer is not having problems like this.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Can't auto-resize columns in List View

In 10.6 one could double-click the divider between columns to automatically have them resize to an optimal width. I can't do that. Is this intended behavior? Note: I'm not using the new "Arrange By..." feature which disables movement entirely.

Wow ! - I humbly apologise.
I have 3 different machines with Lion and so have my colleages.
For all of us the two vertical lines disappeared in Lion.
We can get a vertical stretch icon by hovering the mouse over the divider and double clicking this gives the same result.
We have 10.7.1 - so what gives?

TableView auto resize columns based on header text width or cell content

Is there a method on the tableview or tablecolumn to automatically resize based on the content of the hearder or data?
If not what approach can used used with JavaFX to calculate the string width based on the current font?

The table column size is inconsistent, I set the columns in the table view and the items in the initialize method. I execute a service and task from a button action that loads data into the list, if I don't reset the columns in the table view in the succeed method then each column is the same width regardless of the content in the cells. If I do reset the table columns in the succeed method then the columns are resized based on content.
I don't think it should be a requirement to reset the columns just to get the column widths to set based on the content in the cells. Is there a method on the table column or view that will resize the cells based on the cell content? I would prefer the largest value; column header content or the longest cell content for a column.

Auto resize window when opening image.

How do you make the whole window automatically resize to fit your screen without covering the palletts? Everythime I open an image the window is hidden by the pallets. I then have to move the pallets out of the way, resize the window to fit my monitor, move the pallets back and Im ready to go. This is such a pain. I want the tools pallet to be on the left, the action and history, etc. on the right, and I want the window with all my image tabs to fit between those from top to bottom and from side to side automatically. I never had this problem in earlier versions. I have cs5.
Thank you!

I don't need the image to be full screen, just the window. And the window is not technically full screen, because you can still see the window borders and the panels. I want the image window with the different image tabs to open as big as my screen. I want the edges to come right up next to my panels and the bottom to go down to the bottom of my screen. For example: I use Mac and when you close a finder window and open a new one, it will open at the same size that you closed it. If you resize it, lets say, to fill your entire screen, close it and then reopen it, it will open the same size as you closed it. I don't want photoshop to open new image windows to the same dimension as the image. I want a grey screen to cover my entire monitor just like in CS3 and before. I really like the tabs, but I want the window to open bigger with grey space arround the image.

13" MBP internet connection gets disconnected when too many wifi connection's available

I just notice this a couple of nights ago... Im using a 13" MBP I bought last June 9. At night, when there are plenty of wifi connections being broadcast in our condominium bldg, my internet connection is very slow. Also, the signal strength is reduced to half. Sometimes I even get disconnected and the MBP wifi has difficulty reconnecting my wifi. But when morning comes, signal strength is at full. I ask my friend who also connects to the same wifi if ever he has difficulty connecting at night, but unfortunately its just me. He is using windows, by the way. I'm wondering if this is a known issue and have a fix already? or it's just me?
Please help... Thanks.

I use my 15" MBP this way with no problems at all and I have Mountain Lion installed. So we need to look elsewhere for the problem, it's not possible to link this to the OS without further investigation (but it could be a system setting).
I know that other folks are complaining that Mountain Lion broke WIFI. But if that were the case we would all have problems. I, along with many others, have no problems at all. I think there is something else going on.
What is the signal strength with the lid open vs. closed?
When you say that Safari does not work, are you getting a timeout message or a message like "You are not connected to the Internet."? Of course this is the English version of the message, yours will be different.

How to send notification when too many users connected

Hi all !
I need to send a notification from my web container when there are over 100 users connected, does anybody know how to do it without using vendor's Api but just JEE Api ?

Hello,
If you create an object that implements javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionBindingListener,
you can define valueBound and valueUnbound methods. I usually call it a User class. Also you
can have a static int, counter, in this class, which is accessible by all
classes (make it public or create increment, decrement and getValue methods). In
the valueBound method, get it to increment the static int, in valueUnbound call
decrement).
Now in the JSP pages, at the top, check if the User object exists in the Session
scope. If it doesn't, create one and add it to the Session. This will
automatically call the valueBound on that object and increment the counter. When
a persons session expires, or the User object is removed from the session, the
valueUnbound is automatically called and the counter decrements.
I usually make this check a seperate JSP page which I include on all the other
pages. Then all you need to do is get the User.counter value at any time to see
how many people are on the system.
Hope it helps

AME watch folder - hangs when too many files

I have about 350 vob files in a watch folder, ever time I start up AME it seems to start processing them but it just starts "not responding". I noticed that it is writing files to the Media Cache folder but then just eventually stops after about a min or two. If I only put like 20 files in the folder it works ok.
Is there a way to disable the media cache files from being written? I don't know that they are necessary just for what I'm doing (i'm not previewing or anything). I don't know that it is the issue but it seems AME is hanging on the # of files and the fact that they are VOB/mpeg2. Has anybody ever experienced this?
The # of files is not a one time deal, this will be a reoccurring issue and it would be much nicer to be able to just dump all the files and be done.
I'm using CS5.5, Win 7 64bit, recent i7 Sandy Bridge proc, 16GB ram. The watch folder is on a Synology NAS connected via gigibit, maybe that is part of the problem (that it is not local). The media cache folder is on a local 2TB drive (WD Black) with plenty of room.
Any insight would be appreciated.
thanks
Ryan

The fact that the watch folder is not local to the AME machine may indeed factor in.The process is definitely more robust in a local scenario; network environments complicate matters in a number of ways. Can you run a test where you copy the same batch of files to a watch folder on the AME box?
A few other questions:
Is the "Auto-Encode Watch Folders" option enabled (at the top right of the Queue panel)? And are all 350 files getting added to the AME queue?
If Auto-Encode *is* enabled and some jobs are *not* getting added to the queue, then please try with Auto-Encode enabled.
We're not suggesting this as a workaround but just to give us more insight into where things are failing.
What are CPU and memory usage though the process, from the time you drop files into the watch folder until AME hangs? Are either getting maxed out?
How big are the VOB files? How long does it take to copy all of them into the watch folder?
I know of no way to disable the creation of media cache files.
Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention and giving us an opportunity to troubleshoot it.
