Error while trying to save layout:Console layout (Access is denied)

Got an error while trying to save changes made in the layout,
The error message is
1) 'Preference.properties' (Access is denied), In the details button 'java.io.FileNotFoundException...'
2) and on continuing futher, another message displayed is - 'Error while trying to save layout:Console layout (Access is denied)
There is no Oracle Error Number associated with this message. It is a Oracle Warehouse Builder Error
I have checked that
1) this file exist in owb home/owb/bin/admin/Preference.properties
2) It is not read only
3) tried to set a parameter REPOS_DB_VERSION_ALLOWED=Oracle 10g
as specified in the Installation and Admin Guide
Please can you help?

Also, not that you shouldn't get to the bottom of this, but you should be aware that any of your development or mapping changes are likely still being saved to the respository.
In other words, you could continue working and just ignore these errors. We ran into this situation (it was indeed simply file permissions on the owb directories), but we noticed right away that at least our actual OWB work was in fact still being committed to the respository every time.

Error while trying to save general setting using SWNADMIN

Hi,
Has anyone run into this problem before. Using tcode SWNADMIN - I made one change in the INBOX_LINK_URL. When I tried to save this - it came back with an error:
Parameter: INBOX_LINK_CAPTION - message NASWN087 does not exist. According to Help.SAP.com - this value NASWN087 is supposed to be the default value.
Thanks in advance for your help.

They don't exist here (ECC6). The only NASWNs that exist are 015 016 and 152.
I can remove all the NASWNs from the config and the texts arrive just fine.
Something is obviously not right but I don't have the time to spend with OSS on getting to the bottom of something that somehow works even though it shouldn't.
Edit:
Correction: even though the texts do not exist, there is something magical about these names and individual notifications.
With a blank entry, the single message notification reads: "New work items in your Workflow inbox".
With nonexistent text NASWN999, the same.
When nonexistent text NASWN071 is specified then the workitem text is the subject of the mail.
Ho-hum.

Illustrator CS3 "Unknown Error" while trying to save (Win Vista)

When ever I try to save my Illustrator file on my home computer, a Vista machine, I get an error that says "Unknown Error." When I save from school on XP computers I don't have this problem. However. While this is inconvenient it isn't the core problem, from school I was able to successfully save to a PDF however when I took my project to get printed, the PDF file came up blank both on screen and on paper, while the Illustrator CS2 and CS3 version were visible on screen they did not materialize on paper.
Can anyone help me work through these issues?
Thanks,
Sam

Well it says Windows compatable right on the CS3 Master Collection box. Perhaps I'm making a mistake by calling it Illustrator 3, under file name the full title is "Adode Illustrator CS3"
Here's a screen cap if you'd like to see for yourself.

I tried byr removing the group from Application Definition file and adding it again, but it was not fixed.
Does anybody have any idea why it may happen?

Hi,
It seems like a javascript error, probably from client side validation of faces components. Are you using a supported browser? Have a look here
http://blogs.oracle.com/jheadstart/2007/12/supported_browsers_for_adf_fac.html
This is probably not a JHeadstart specific problem, could you try to create the same page using ADF drag and drop and see if the problem persist. Also please post your question on the jdeveloper forum: JDeveloper and ADF

Error while trying to save page edits, please help!

Hi,
I am using SharePoint online 365 and when I try to make an edit to a page, I am getting this error message after hitting the save button.
I had previously attempted at deleting the two lines of text in the HTML that would allow breadcrumbs to appear again, however when that did not work, I switched back to the original master page. ( I was ONLY editing a Copy of the master page, I never made
any changes to what was in the original file.
We are using the Seattle master page.
Also, I am only getting this error message on some of the pages, not all of them. I am able to get into the page and make edits to the web parts, then when I hit the save button in the upper right hand corner, I am brought to this page. This problem is
also being recreated on multiple different computers logged into the same account, trying to make the same changes.
I am really new to using SharePoint and can not seem to find a solution to this myself. If anyone has any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated.
Or if there is an option to just restore to the very original file of the master page without losing any of the document libraries and apps that I have put together then I am willing to give that a try as well!
Thank you for any help!

Try using SharePoint designer to connect to O365 and revert your master page, or else you can revert to the previous version of your Master page that was working before.

Error while trying to save a report using Java SDK for CR server 2011

I use the java sdk to update the report database jndi alias and then save the report. While saving the report, the utility throws the following exception. It only happens to 3 reports out of more than 70 reports. What could be the problem with report that is causing this problem ?

Unknown Error while Trying to save

Hi,
I'm running Illustrator 3 on Windows Vista 32-bit. Every time I try to save a file, either with "Save" or with "Save As" Illustrator gives me an "Unknown Error Message" and does not save the file. I've found a few work arounds for it, but it is becoming increasingly frustrating when I can't even save my initial work while working on an animation project. This problem did not start out after the initial install. It would do it from time to time, like say, every 10 saves or so, but it has worsened over time and I am unable to save anything at all. I can export in a few file formats, such as SWF, but nothing that will let me simply save the image like PNG or DWG. Is there anything I can other than re-install the program? I've done that once before, which simple seems to reset the cycle back to every 10 saves. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Error while trying to open Admin console

Hi Experts,
I'm a little frustrated after a days work, I can't get my B1iSN interface running again.
It was running about 2 weeks ago, without a problem, we have some important intercompany processes for our customer there.
Now, when i want to open the interface, i get the "HTTP Status 404 - Servlet B1iXcellerator is not available" error.
Tomcat is running, SQL Server is running (tried to restart both, didn't help), Java is configured (as it already WAS running).
Only thing I know is that there were some changes in the SQL Server and SAP 8.8 PL 13 was installed. Do I have to take actions after that? The configs and properties are all set.
I searched through most of the threads on the forum, but it didn't help. I would rather like to avoid having to reinstall B1iSN, as there is some unsaved work, which we can't access due to the error.
We have a Windows 2008 Server, SQL 2008, SAP 8.8 PL 13 and B1iSN PL 13. And again: it was already running
I would really appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Florian

Florian,
Not knowing what the changes to SQL Server were makes trying to solve the issue difficult as if it was working and all that has changed were the update to PL13 and changes to SQL ... it could be due to either. I have not heard any issues with the PL13 upgrade, but am checking.
If the issues are due to changes to SQL Server ... and we do not know what they are ... it may be impossible to diagnose and require and uninstall and re-install.

Save conflict while trying to save or publish a SPD 2013 workflow (SP 2013 version)

Hi all, I have a problem while trying to develop a SharePoint 2013 workflow. I'm able to create a new workflow for a list (to save it) and I can confirm that it can run. Unfortunatelly, when I try to modify It (either just after creation or when opening
it later) I get an error while saving or publishing:
Errors were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were not saved.
Save conflict
Your changes conflict with those made concurrently by another user. If you want your changes to be applied, click Back in your Web browser, refresh the page, and resubmit your changes.
ULS doesn't show anything helpful but the same message with lots of stack trace pointing to a file save conflict.
Today, by accident I discovered that the workflow could be saved after it was open in SPD for nigth so I expect there may be some time lockout like when you access a document in a library from another domain (hope it's only 30 minutes).
I tried to re register the workflow service and even reinstalling and reconfiguring the workflow manager. This problem was present without the service bus and workflow CU, but now I have them installed as well.
Any suggestions?
Update:
I managed to publish the workflow after performing following steps:
1. Open the workflow and make modifications (save conflict occurs when trying to publish)
2. Reset IIS
3. Publish workflow (the workflow is saved successfuly)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got “save conflict” error while trying to save or publish a SharePoint Designer 2013 workflow.
Please check whether the Central Admin > Manage Service Application-> “App Management Service” is started.
Please check whether the “Configure service application associations”, ”App Management Service” is already associated.
Then please check whether the “Manage Services on server” and the “App Management Service” is started.
If all the service are started, add executionTimeout property in web.config file to increase the timeout interval(Make a copy of the web.config file before editing anything).
For more information, please refer to this site:Fixed: SharePoint Designer Error - Unexpected error on server associating the workflow
In addition, if you develop a too complex workflow and try to compile it in SharePoint Designer then you might get the error if your workflow exceeds the complexity limit. To fix the error you will have to redesign and break them into multiple workflows
to achieve the business functionality.

"An error occurred while trying to save your photo library..."

Installed iPhoto6.
Started app. It said it would take a few seconds or minutes to upgrade.
About 6 hours later after churning on thumbnails it is now claiming this error over and over with some time that goes by in between:
"An error occurred while trying to save your photo library."
"Some recent changes may be lost. Make sure your hard disk has enough space and that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library folder."
It says I have 22,759 photos in Library. The Library was a subset of my images, named "iPhoto Library 2005" and it was intentionally kept below the 25,000 limit of iPhoto5.
Since Steve claims iPhoto6 can easily handle 250,000 photos, I clicked on the upgrade button with confidence. This now appears to be a mistake. Last night I was working on an iDVD for the local school and the majority of that work has simply vanished. There were 320 photos. I spent hours adding keywords, ranking, adjusting temperature, focus, exposure, etc.
Of the 320, only 16 photos survived. They are 16 in a row from the middle of the roll near the end but not at the end. The roll name was lost. The name is now just "Roll 226" and none of the photos have keywords. I know at least one of the 16 should have the keyword "DUPE" and the ranking 2 STARS since it precedes a double that I ranked 2 during a slideshow, sorted by ranking, and dragged to the DUPE keyword. All 16 should have the ACROCK keyword which I initially assigned to all photos.
Again, 304 of 320 have vanished and the 16 that remain have no keywords or rankings.
I watched the slide show in iPhoto5 three times with different music candidates so I know the keywording and rankings evaporated in iPhoto6. I also clicked ACROCK and option clicked DUPE and POOR so that all of the music program photos except dupes and poor images would vanish. I only deleted one photo so there were not a lot of changes to the library in terms of photos in it. I cannot think of any reason why the 16 chosen survived. Only two were placed in a DVD dropzone and they are scattered amongst the 16 survivors.
Also, the ACROCK and DUPE keywords are also gone while the POOR keyword added in August is in the keyword table just fine.
I exported these 320 photos last night to iDVD and tried almost all of the different themes and I dragged about 10 different photos to the dropzones, hit play, hit motion, etc.
It seems very strange that 16 photos from the middle of the pack would survive.
It seems extra odd that iPhoto5 and iDVD treated these as "established" photos, not photos hanging in the wings somewhere ready to vanish in an upgrade.
I gracefully saved and quit iDVD and iPhoto5 and there were no crashes and nothing strange happened while making the DVD. I was hoping today to try out the new themes and maybe find one that is just right for the kids. Instead, about 300 of 320 photos of the kids went bye-bye along with all the work on the photos!
I'm nervous that many more photos are missing but I will need to do a ton of checking to see what else has been deleted by the upgrade.
The user message that iPhoto6 presents is nearly useless and strange. It offers little if anything to go on in terms of a repair procedure. After saying an error has occurred, it says some recent changes could be lost but doesn't expand at all on what they may be or why.
From my experience, recently added photos, keywords, keyword assignments, rankings and maybe more can all be lost. To compound matters, before the upgrade it says that you cannot go back to the prior (working!) library in iPhoto5. Beware!
It finishes by suggesting two vague steps to take. The first is to make sure your disk has "enough" space. How much is "enough"? It doesn't say something like X GB available, Y GB needed. A user would have no clue about how much space to free up. I have over 17 GB and assumed that would be enough. I sure hope it doesn't require double the space of the existing library. I would hope it has a smarter algorithm than that since 23,000 photos at about 3 MB each maps to about 70 GB. That's a lot of "temporary" space to require to perform an upgrade. Since the upgrade/error message provide no details (unlike package installers which supposedly tell you how much space you need), users like me would have no clue if 70 GB is plenty or not enough.
I found 24 GB secretly used by iPhoto 5 for an iPod Photo Cache and a tech bulletin saying this just grows and grows without control and it can be deleted SO I wouldn't put huge hidden disk usage past iPhoto6.
The last none-to-helpful suggestion is that a user make sure that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library folder. Huh?!??!?
Wouldn't this be a great thing to confirm via software before setting about on 6+ hours of work, especially if there is an error message hard-coded in the software confirming that Apple knows the result may be losing valuable customer photos and hours of work on enhancing, keywording, creating DVDs, etc.?
Of course. This appears negligent. To know that customer file loss will likely result but not checking these things out in advance before taking that risk seems like putting the cart before the horse at customers' expense & pain and certain loss of irreplaceable family photos (for the, say, 80%+ of iPhoto users that "plan" to get a backup routine established?).
I got burned in the iPhoto5 upgrade as well, losing photos, so I was sure to have a backup so it wouldn't happen again. Most I fear won't be so fortunate so be advised of the risk and work with copies of your photos only.
Also, why would iPhoto5 have all the permissions it needs to store, edit, tag and otherwise work with 320 photos added last night? Why would version 5 have plenty of permissions to use the folders and the photos in them. Why would iPhoto 6 suddenly lose those permissions or not have enough? This hardly makes any sense. The only way the permissions were set, the iPhoto libraries got created and the albums got created was by dragging a folder of images onto the albums pane in iPhoto5. So, iPhoto5 set all the permissions, everything is under one user account and there should be no surprise permissions for iPhoto6 to deal with.
It seems unbelievable that iPhoto 6 couldn't do what iPhoto 5 was doing. I never changed permissions and never touched files in the iPhoto 5 structure.
I can only guess that recently added keywords, recently added photos and recently added rankings and keyword taggings linger in some at-risk staging area that a version 6 upgrade doesn't know how to deal with. This seems like a lame way to code this app so I don't consider this a good guess but what else could it be?
Anyone else have a better hunch at a root cause?
Anyone else have an idea of a cure?
Anyone else run into this?
It sure doesn't look like there was a test case for having near 25,000 photos (an iPhoto 5 documented requirement), working with the latest roll and then doing a version 6 upgrade because it failed miserably--user data loss--without any special effort to find defects. In a former life I tested software and released software was much more difficult to break than this.
I would appreciate any other user experiences/solutions related to this problem. I am reluctant to import another 22,000 photos from iPhoto Library 2004 only to find more photos go poof without any rhyme or reason.
Thanks in advance for your help and I hope this alerts others to a potential for valuable photo loss (i.e., back up before you upgrade, verify iPhoto Library permissions--whatever that means--and have scads of disk space available assuming there's any truth to the error message!).

G5 Dual 2.7 GHz 2 GB DDR SDRAM Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I'll check if I have copies of copies of copies. This could take a while due to the number of files.
I picked up a brand new 300 GB Western Digital hard drive thinking 20GB or so was not enough for temp files for upgrading and/or importing.
I formatted it as a mac os extended, journaled drive, not case sensitive, one full-size partition. I started iPhoto6 with the option key. I had a CF in my other WD 300 GB (with media reader). iPhoto6 asked about the photos on the card. I told it not to download those (again). Because I was holding the option key down, iPhoto6 asked if I wanted to select a different library or create one. I created one on the brand new, 100% empty 300 GB drive. I'm not sure if/where iPhoto6 creates temporary/cache files (like iPhoto iPod Cache folder) as it sets up a new library. I was hoping the empty 300 GB drive would give it ample room to load an existing iPhoto5 library.
When I dragged an old iPhoto5 Library onto the new iPhoto6 Library Album pane. I saw the "Importing..." start and it went on and on and on and... I let it run for HOURS and HOURS. When I checked around midnight, it had crashed. When I started it again, it said it had run across some huge number of stray photos.
I have no idea why iPhoto6 would have trouble importing an iPhoto5 library that was below the 25,000 photo mark for 5. This is especially bizarre since iPhoto6 claims it supports 250,000 photos!
I'll be trying to figure out if these stray photos got imported as dupes, if they lost iPhoto5 keywords, etc. I fear something different but equally bad happened since the number of photos it came up with was like 79,000--again many stray photos that didn't make it into the first import for no known reason. Since libraries in iPhoto5 were around 25,000 or less, I'm not sure what's happening.
Maybe there's a cache or temp file still created on Macintosh HD and not on the empty new 300GB drive and a bug exists for imports when space on Mac HD is "low" (i.e., under 3.5 GB). Maybe it's seeing thumbs as files it should import? Maybe it's seeing Orig and Modified images as worthy of reimporting?
I had told it not to import dupes but who knows if it goes by file name, checksum, byte-for-byte comparison, etc.
I'm not sure if I can even pull up iPhoto5 and 6 at the same time now to scroll through the libraries to see if dupes, thumbs, original/modifies/etc. are showing up to boost the count from under 25K to 79K!
Ideas? At least I know I'm not the only G5 dual user with this problem!

I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, after 7.1.1 but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

I tried updating my iphone 4 to 7.1.1 and it went straight into recovery mode.... I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

Same situation. I installed iOS 8 beta 4 on my iPhone 5 and a few days later my iCloud account disappeared. My contacts and calendar entries are gone.
My Mac Mini and MacBook do sync as they should with iCloud.
When I try to log in to iCloud on the iPhone (the username shows "[email protected]" and password shows "required"), I put in my username and password and tap "Sign In", It says "Verifying" at the top and after a while checkmarks appear next to my username and password. Then I get an error message saying "An error occurred while trying to save the iCloud account". If I tap OK the message goes away, leaving my username and password intact (checkmarks are now gone). If I tap "Sign In" again I get a message saying " '[email protected]' is Already Added. This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone". If I go back to Settings and then go into iCloud again it's not set up and appears as I stated at the beginning of this paragraph.
Nothing works and the sync does not occur. Contacts are empty and Calendar has no entries.

Lost All My Photos! "Error occurred while trying to save .."

Hi. I'm in total panic mode right now as it appears I have lost all my photos.
I did a quick search here and came across a couple of threads, but I'm not sure if the info contained in them is going to help me.
I was using iPhoto and double clicked on a photo to enlarge it to show it to a friend and then I got the following message: "An error has occurred while trying to save your photo library. Some recent changes may be lost. Make sure your hard disk has enough space & that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library". After this, all my photos in all the events & albums disappeared ... no status bar indicating anything was being processed ... nothing.
I have my iPhoto Library on my 1TB Western Digital Hard Drive and the drive kept whirring as if processing something (this sound is common but it just kept going). I quit iPhoto, put the iMac to sleep & a minute later woke it up. The HD started whirring again & I opened up iPhoto ... still no photos. I dragged the external HD to the trash to eject it & unplugged it. I then re-connected it & still nothing. I have two "my book" icons in the left panel when I open up my Mac HD and one of them I can't get rid of as it says the volume can't be found. I'm guessing this is from when I tried to eject the HD. I am going to try re-starting my Mac. I also right clicked on the iPhoto icon to check the properties & even though I have no photos, it spent a couple of minutes (like it usually does) trying to calculate the size of the library ... so I'm hoping that the photos are somewhere.
I have 16gb left on my iMac HD & 476gb on the external HD. I have no clue what happened and I had over 160gb in my iPhoto Library.
Where should I look to try and find the photos if they have just been hidden (I hope) or am I totally out of luck? I have backups of some of the photos but not everything ...
If anyone can offer some suggestions I'd be very grateful.
Thanks for your time.
Take care,
Brent

You’re having two problems there, I think. One is with the disk. You’re not going anywhere with the other until you can get that to mount.
Assuming you can, it sounds like the database has been damaged:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
