Driver issue -packages created by model and os architecture

hi
in my organization 3 architechure os is installed ,WIN 7 -X86 ,WIN7-64 ,WIN8X64 , I HAVE CREATED DRIVER PACKAGE FOR 3 ARCHICHECURES  FOR A MODEL LIKE
LENOVA THINKPAD T430_WIN7X86   
LENOVA THINKPAD T430_WIN7X64
LENOVA THINKPAD T430_WIN8X64
and I have added if statement as shown in screen shot ,I am getting error on task sequence ,complete driver task sequence fails ,same time  I use Lenovo model only in query it works but it pull randomly all architecture driver packages ,let say
I have selected win 7 x64 os ,but it pull all driver packages above mentioned instead of only LENOVA THINKPAD T430_WIN7X64 , I need  two conditions are met then only driver package should install ,how tis possible
ankith

I understood correctly, but I guess you didn't understand my solution for your problem.
Like I said, if you configure your conditions correctly, it will only run the step that's configured to run. If your selection of W7 x64, W7 x86 or W8 x64 at the start of the task sequence is stored in a task sequence variable, use that as one condition
and use the WMI query of specific model for another condition.
You could even add folders so that all the OS versions for the drivers are separated, and apply your operating system filtering for each folder. For example W7 x64 -folder uses variable that determines W7 x64 is being deployed and under that folder are all
the W7 x64 driver steps with WMI query conditions for the specific model.

  • Issue while creating Data Model in BI Publisher and logging into xmlpserver

    Hi All,
    We are facing an issue in OBIEE 11.1.1.5.
    If we are logging with Non Admin Id (other than weblogic) and select New Data Model, a blank screen is coming. Where as, if we use Admin Id, we are getting screen as usual for creating data model. There were some blogs mentioning to change Priviledges for  SOAP access, but that approach is also not working.
    Further, we are also not able to open xmlpserver with Non Admin Id.
    Any help or pointers would be great.
    Regards,

    how about pasting the content of your data template here, so that forum members can see what could be the problem.

  • Issue while creating a model

    Hi,
    I am creating an model expression to calculate value at leaf level for one of the member.
    my expresssion is like this
    type_calcparent = type_postcogs + type_postrev + type_-1
    Model is not accepting "type_-1" value and taking type_ and -1 as different values thus giving error saying "type_" value do not exists in the dimension.
    Also type_-1 exists in dimension.
    Any solution to this problem.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks
    Brijesh

    Brijesh,
    When using dimension values containing characters that have special meaning (calc operators, spaces, etc.) you will need to refer to these dimension values using quoted dimension values. Your calculation need to be written like this
    type_calcparent = type_postcogs + type_postrev + 'type_-1'
    Note: Most likely the dimension value will be in capitals, since quoted dimension values are used the value needs to be an exact match, so most likely it would need to be
    type_calcparent = type_postcogs + type_postrev + 'TYPE_-1'
    Best practice is to avoid these kind of dimension values.

  • Driver issue? with docked T61, and 31P9490- IBM USB Travel Keyboard w/ UltraNav and sleep mode

    Can someone from Lenovo please advise me on which version drivers need to be installed for the external keyboard and mouse, and/or the proper power setting(s) to use with this configuration so the machine will react and wake up from its nap with a Fn+F4 on the external keyboard?
    T61  7658-CTO,  3GB RAM,  Vista Business Ultimate.  These are the external IBM/Lenovo devices used:
    250410U     THINKPAD ADVANCED MINI DOCK
    31P9490    IBM USB TRAVEL KEYBOARD W/ULTRANAV
    31P8700     SCROLLPOINT PRO OPTICAL MOUSE 
    I have an issue with waking my T61 up from sleep mode while it’s docked and using the external keyboard, mouse, and monitor.  When the machine is docked, the blue Fn keys or the Think Vantage button do not function on the external keyboard.
    The external keyboard seems to be the same as the internal keyboard installed in the TP- which I thought would react the same as the internal keyboard when I installed the driver that it came with.  I had hoped something this simple would be easier than it now seems. 
    Thanks in advance! 
    Cheers, Mark

    Thanks for the advice Izzy.  After installing both sets of keyboard and hotkey drivers it does respond to most (but not all) blue Fn key combinations as marked on the external keyboard.  The blue ThinkVantage button still does not respond. 
    Oddly enough, I am able to use the Fn+F4 key combination to put it into sleep mode and to bring it back out, but when the display comes back I have no control of the UltraNav pad, track pointer, or mouse.  I had to open the TP cover slightly and use the pad to get past the login screen to the desktop.
    Incidently, just after using the UltraNav pad on the machine as it was slightly open a couple of messages popped up onscreen involving the USB port(s).  One indicated it was searching for a new device driver for a USB connected device, and the other indicated I could benefit from connecting the device to a high- speed USB port by unpluging the low-speed hub and connecting directly to an available high-speed USB port.
    Interestingly, I don't have any external hub connected. It may have identified the docking station USB ports as low-speed, which I don't believe they are...any ideas for what to do with this new set of issues? 
    Thanks, Mark

  • How to create a model and JCO connection

    Hi all,
             The Userid and Password given while creating new model at Singleserver/Load balancing tab should be same as the userid and password given while creating JCO connection. i.e in JCO creation  while mapping modeldata to Application data and Metadata to metadata we will give some userid and password.
    will those 2 userids and passwords should be same.
    the error which i am getting is
    com.sap.tc.webdynpro.modelimpl.dynamicrfc.WDDynamicRFCExecuteException: Error connecting using JCO.Client: null
    Regards
    Padma N

    2 userids and passwords need not be same
    i got similar problem and this is how i resolved
    this is because jco connections are Using SSO and the user who is accessing that webdynpro application is not present in the backend system.
    please make sure user is there in the backend system from which you are getting data

  • External drive issue with late 2010 model 27" imac

    I'm having trouble getting a Seagate Freeagent Go 2.5" 1TB to mount with the new 27" model imacs (11,3).
    At first I thought that maybe it wasn't supplying enough power but after buying an external powered hub it still won't mount.
    It must be something to do with the newest model since I have an early 2010 model imac which works fine with the drive.

    Hello Brett!,
    A rule i usually live by when purchasing externals, is to firstly check the file format (many are factory formatted in NTFS or FAT32) and if that is the case then change them to HFS+ using disk utility. That is of course if you intend to only use it with your mac, for example i use an external formatted in FAT32 and it works on Windows and Mac.
    Secondly its a good code of practice to make sure the drive spins up, as that is the easiest way to check for a dodgy powersupply.
    Thirdly and hopefully finally, if those tips don't work then try mounting it on another mac or pc and see if it is detected in any form, that'll tell you if there is a connection issue.

  • Change Control for package created in Modeler Perspective

    Hello,
    We have created a package through modeler perspective and developed couple of views in it.
    Want to enable change control for the same so we can transport only the view which has some changes in it.
    I have couple of questions on how to achieve the same,
    1) Is there any functionality to get this done through modeler perspective itself ? by this I mean we do not create repository and other stuff
    2) What will happen if I activate the change control mechanism and make change to one of the view? if any developer checks out the package to his local repository and makes changes , will he be prompted to create a Change ID during activation ?
    Thanks In Advance,
    MM.

    Hi Vikas, the projects used inside SSMS are not compatible with those in Visual Studio. So unfortunately you cannot open and manage them inside SSMS.
    The best practices we recommend are that you do your development inside Visual Studio and then publish the .dacpac file created on project build to your database - you can do this using VS, SSMS or SqlPackage.exe from the command line.
    If you do not want to use project-based development but do want TFS support for version changes, plenty of developers use SSMS for day-to-day changes and then use Schema Compare inside Visual Studio to sync those updates to a project and check these in.
    This gives you some level of change management and backup support. 
    Hope this helps,
    Kevin

  • I have installed new hard drive to iMac intel 2007 model and all I get on the screen is a grey question mark, tried system disk and now that's stuck in drive and just spinning around, any help please

    Sorry put all question on subject line. As I said fitted new hard drive, but all I get is a folder with a flashing grey question mark. Tried system disk but that is now just spinning around in DVD drive and I can't get it out. Any help with these problems would help

    Sounds like the new drive is not being recognized. Could be it's a SATA3 drive with a 6Gb/s transfer rate and needs to be jumpered down to 3. But if the 2007 is 1.5, it may not work at all, even if jumpered down. Other possibility is a not properly secured cable or a cable that's come loose from the logic board.
    What is the model of the 2007 Mac? What's the new drive? Did you do the installation or was it done by a shop?
    You can find your model here. Look next to Standard Hard Drive:

  • IMac DVD drive issues (May 2011 Thunderbolt models)?

    I'm going nuts. I picked this machine back up three hours ago from the Apple Store, where they replaced my Optiarc DVD drive on my 27" iMac with a new one (and also the cable).
    I'm having the same danged problem. So either there's a rash of bad Optiarc drives out there, or the Apple Store didn't do crap.
    Without going into all of the headaches, these are the disk CRC-32's from the "iMac Mac OS X Install DVD" that came with the machine:
    On this machine:             $193BD913
    On the "good" machine:  $85FBE37B
    Image made on good:     $85FBE37B (i.e., I made a read-only disk image on the "good" machine of this disk)
    Image made on this:       "unable to verify" (twice)
    Can somerun please run a CRC32 checksum for me on their May 2011 Thunderbolt iMac DVD and confirm the correct checksum?
    I've tried similar DVD's with similar results.
    I'm confident I don't have a software conflict, because that's just illogical, and also this machine won't install from the DVD onto a fresh drive (in fact I had to make a USB key on the "good" machine to get this machine to work).
    Finally, is there a software method of determining the serial number of the Optiarc drive? System Profiler doesn't show it, and I want to make danged sure that they replace it next time.
    Thanks!

    No one can run a checksum for me in Disk Utility? Please?

  • Problem with creating Connection pool and JNDI, driver is not detected

    Hi,
    I have an issue with creating Connection Pool and JNDI.
    I'm using:
    - JDK 1.6
    - OS: Linux(ubuntu 8.10)
    - Netbeans IDE 6.5.1
    - Java EE 5.0
    - Apache Tomcat 6.0.18 Its lib directory contains all necessary jar files for Oracle database driver
    - Oracle 11g Enterprise
    My problem is that the Oracle database driver is not detected when I want to create a pool (it works pretty well and is detected without any problem when I create ordinary connection by DriverManager)
    Therefore after running:
    InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
    Context context = (Context)ic.lookup("java:comp/env");
    DataSource dataSource = (DataSource)context.lookup("jdbc/oracle11g");
    Connection connection = dataSource.getConnection();and right after dataSource.getConnection() I have the following exception:

    Hello again,
    Finally I managed to run my application also with Tomcat 6.0.18. There was only two lines that had to be modified

    Instead of writing

        type="javax.sql.DataSource"
        factory="org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory"
    </Context>we had to write:
    <Context antiJARLocking="true" path="/WebApplication2">
        type="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource"
        factory="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSourceFactory"
    </Context>- No modification was needed to be done at server level (niether server.xml nor server context.xml)
    - I just added the ojdbc6.jar in $CATALINA_HOME/lib (I didn't even need to add it in WEB-INF/lib of my project)
    - The servlet used to do the test was the same that I presented in my precedent post.

  • X240 Network Driver issue with Windows PE

    HelloI am working with OSD deployment in a big organisation. We are using SCCM 2012 SP1 to deploy new computers with our own image and applications. The new Thinkpad X240 is causing a big problem at the moment since we do not seem to be able to find an appropriate Ethernet network driver for the built-in Intel ethernet interface that is working in winPE 4.0. This is what happens.The computer boots, I press the F12 key, the computer presents a list of bootable devices, I choose the ethernet NIC.The computer PXE boots - it recieves an DHCP address from our server, downloads boot.wim, downloads the boot.winPE.boot.wim file and then starts winPE on the X240. It gets to "Preparing Network Connections", hangs there for a while, and then it reboots.If I use the F8 option and run ipconfig, it reports "Windows IP Configuration" and nothing else. If I run /renew it says "The operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation". There seems to be no NIC available to winPE to start the Task Sequence with.I have downloaded the Windows 8 x64 Network driver and the Windows 7 x64 enterprise driver package Network driver from Lenovo, for this model and injected the Network drivers in the WinPe boot file. Neither of these drivers is working with the Network Interface in winPE. We do not have any problems with any other models, they all install with our SCCM 2012 SP1. Is there anyone who have experienced and resolved this? Kind regardsNick 

    Hello,  I experiencing the strikly same situation with the same configuration :- SCCM 2012 SP1,- SCCM 2012 SP1 Boot Image x86 4.0,- Lenovo X240,- Drivers Lenovo SCCM package for Windows 7 (32-bit) http://support.lenovo.com/fr/fr/downloads/ds038819- Task Sequence W7x86. No problem when deploying an adaptated Task Sequence with Lenovo X250. However, WinPE don't allowing the network adapter to get a TCP IP configuration when deploying with Lenovo X240. To resolve this situation, do you use :- the standard boot image in the Windows 8 DVD or a customized one with Windows ADK ?- your boot image is this a x86 type or x64 ?- In case of a customized Boot Image, have you, please, some advice to give to use Windows ADK ?  Best regards

Now, I am not a newbie, though SSD drives haven’t been more than an interesting thought. So yes, I read many guides on everything from Trim enabled Win 7 and 8, and many other do’s and don’ts. What is driving me to the Netherlands of hell, is the installation and how buggy it has been. It boils down to drivers for the IDE/SATA/AHCI CONTROLLER. First, even thought it “sees”  the SSD on installation drive selection, after pulling the USB installation drive, the system forgets it, and there is a “problem with the boot sector”. If you load the driver from the AMD site, it lets the install occur “fine”, but there is an issue with that driver which causes an irq conflict which leads to D3 audio issues and freeze ups. I did finally get things in order (not sure which driver I choose for that), and things were smooth, except I tried to install the GTX 550 ti and that led to a corrupt file error, which the system runs a check disk and cycles the “preparing to repair” and “diagnosing PC” a few times and never allows me to enter SAFE MODE (shift+f8), to disable the NVIDIA driver that is buggy, and doesn’t allow for the NVIDIA Control Panel to install without losing video, and starts the repair cycles again… Leading to ANOTHER RE-INSTALL...
    My question, for the Windows 8 Pro installation on the 970a-G46 mainboard and then after install is complete, which driver is the correct choice for the AHCI/SATA Controller?  All I find is Win7 64-bit AHCI inf’s, and SB7XX 64-bit inf’s (no SB950 INF). The Driver disk which came with the mainboard is very dated pre Win 8 stuff, ASMEDIA X106 which are not recognized by the OS as written for Win 8. AMD’s latest drivers are the ones causing the IRQ type lags and corruption.
    What version, build and type of Windows 8 installations have you used on this mainboard, and what drivers allowed you install it without the above conflicts? Your input may decrease my insanity… So, thank you in advance…

    I understand what you are telling me,  only the generic drivers deliver subpar results. What is the point of running those drivers instead of windows 8 certified drivers written for said devices. My last install is functioning better, but still windows update fails every attempt, the apps i install (ie. weather bug) on the start screen wont load... to me windows 8 is a big fail....but that is just my view...
    OK...I also own the 970a G46, and my upgrade experience from Win7 x64 AHCI to Win8 x64 AHCI was flawless the first time.  No problems at all.  You are running an AMD chipset board with a nVidia gpu, which means that your chipset drivers are not automatically updated with every gpu driver update you do--this would happen automatically if you owned an AMD gpu because AMD includes them in its gpu driver install packages.  But--all you have to do to get the proper drivers for your motherboard is go here and download them.  You only need the *chipset drivers* from this page--you do not need the RAID drivers, of course.  That's it.  It's no big deal, and back in the days when nVidia was making motherboard chipsets you had to separately download both the motherboard chipset drivers from nVidia and the AMD gpu drivers from AMD if you did not also own a nVidia gpu.
    From your description of your problems it sounds like your installation of Win8 is hosed and you need to format C:\ and clean install from scratch, anyway, so...
    A note about AHCI--the *ideal* way to install the AHCI drivers is prior to installing your OS for the first time, you enter the UEFI and set "AHCI" in the appropriate place, instead of IDE, and *then* you reboot from DVD and install your OS which will automatically install the correct AHCI driver from Windows.  After the driver installation is complete you should then install the updated 970a drivers from AMD as linked above.
    However, it is actually very easy to activate and install AHCI *after* you have installed Windows in normal IDE mode:
    To enable AHCI in existing Windows 8 IDE Installation's
    Caution: Do NOT enable AHCI in UEFI prior to making the following changes in your Registry! If you had AHCI enabled alreadyin UEFI, disable it first and restart your computer!
    Use WinKey + R and type Regedit in the command line and hit the Enter key, this will open the Registration Editor.
    Go to:
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/services/iaStorV
        right click on Start, select Modify and set Data Value to 0
    Close Registration Editor and restart computer.
    While booting,  open the UEFI Page and set the SATA Mode to AHCI from IDE
    Save UEFI settings and restart.
    Windows will now install the AHCI drivers automatically and they should work without issues.
    In order to avoid installation problems just like you have been experiencing, here is what I would do in your shoes:
    1) Set UEFI for normal IDE drive mode
    2) Reboot into IDE mode and install your OS
    3) After you have finished with the installation, you should be having no troubles in IDE mode.  Then go to the instructions above on how to properly enable AHCI *after* you have installed Windows 8 in normal IDE mode.
    4) After everything is coming up roses in AHCI mode and you are having no problems, then install the AMD chipset drivers as linked above and you are golden. 
    Those 4 steps worked perfectly for me the first time (the first time I got them right, that is...).
    There's nothing wrong with Win8--this is strictly operator error caused by insufficient research into what AHCI is and how to properly enable it.  The Internet has some bad info on Win8 registry settings for AHCI because of the developer preview and the consumer preview versions of Win8 that Microsoft released to the public prior to the final shipping build--many "instructions" for Win8 are therefore not valid for the shipping version of Win8.  At first I made some of the same goofs that you did, but now you get to benefit from my hard-won experience...  Good luck! Should work like a charm. And, registry AHCI is done differently in Win8 than it is done in Win7 or Vista.  Also, the registry settings relative to AHCI in Windows 8 for AMD are different from the registry values that must be changed for an Intel controller.
    Parenthetically, My FX-6300 (Vishera) will be here in a couple of days! Yeah!

  • Creating a restore image on an external drive with package install options

    Hi,
    I'm looking to use a combination of tools maybe Deploy Studio, System Image Utility etc to create an image that isn't Netbooted but rather on an external drive (a fast Thunderbolt raid enclosure) - a restorable image which will contain OSX setup with all the essential applications my users require.
    That bit is fairly easy using some clone software but I want to do a couple more things. I need to create a Bootcamp partition on the computer and I want this all to be as hands off as possible. I've looked at Winclone in which I can create a Bootcamp clone and even put it in a deployable package file which in theory will create the partition and restore the clone when run.
    Ideally id be able to make a restore image that boots, restores and also gives me package options, allowing me to chose the Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 package file in the image to deploy and also whether to deploy another package file which will include 3 optional applications for the user depending on their choice. If I was allowed at restore to decide which packages if any should be run id be able to create one single restore image.
    Does anyone know if this possible?

    Found the answer. It was formatted for Windows.
