Publication in BOEXI3.1 Fails at run time

I am trying to run a publication in BOE XI 3.1 (Build 12.1.0) and it fails. The error I get is as follows: *Error Message: The publishing service is not started or was restarted while the publication job was running. 0 recipients processed. *
I go to the CMC and check the Publishing Server and it's enabled and running. I have tried restarting the server and re-running the Publication with no success.
Thanks,
Larry

Hi,
You can make this change by logging in to the CMC and go to the 'Servers' area. Double-click on the PublicationJobServer and click in the startup parameter textbox. Scroll to the right and add -trace to the commandline. Click on Save and Close and restart the PublicationJobServer. Then run your publication that generates the error and browse to your install directory of Business Objects. In the subdirectory BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0 there is a directory called logging. Here you should be able to find logging files. Please let me know what is the content of this log file...
Hope this helps...

Package failed with run time error: " GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED".

Hi,
One of our custom package is failing with run time error " GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED". We are getting this error after refresh. Infact this package is working fine both in production and Dev, but in QA system it giving runtime error.
Here with I am pasting run time error details. Please see...If any one have any idea or clue or if you have faced this kind of error.
Thanks is advance.
Error Details.
What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The current ABAP program "CL_UJK_CUSTOM_LOGIC===========CP" had to be
     terminated because it has
    come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
What can you do?
    Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
    To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
    administrator.
    Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
    at and manage termination messages, and you can also
    keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
    You attempted to access an unassigned field symbol
    (data segment 32774).
    This error may occur if
    - You address a typed field symbol before it has been set with
      ASSIGN
    - You address a field symbol that pointed to the line of an
      internal table that was deleted
    - You address a field symbol that was previously reset using
      UNASSIGN or that pointed to a local field that no
      longer exists
    - You address a global function interface, although the
      respective function module is not active - that is, is
      not in the list of active calls. The list of active calls
      can be taken from this short dump.
Regards, Trine

Hi Trine,
the error is about some field you are trying to map using field-simbols, that is diferent in the other system.
Go to the code program in the st22, there you will see when the erros occurs e what field gives the error.
Best Regards,
António

Function Module Failing in Run Time

Hello Friend. Thanks to SDN to get this FM created , but still i have some more issues. I copied the function module RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE using SE80 TO Z_CUSTOMERB and also the Function Group I copied from RSAX TO ZCUSTB in SE80 ABAP area.
<b>Error in SE80 FOR Function Group ZCUSTB: Main program Z_CUSTOMERB does not begin with Function-Pool
please edit my code and let me know how to fix the code to include FUNCTION-POOL</b>
But when i go to se37 Activated the FM Z_CUSTOMER and check for any syntax error in FM source code it give no error. But when i run the function module using my datasource rsa3 or execute FM then i get the dump
dump reasons stated.
1. FM Z_CUSTOMER is not active and hence cannot be found during run time
2. Function Library contains incorrect entry for Z_CUSTOMERB
3. Function Module contains no Code even the FUNCTION ... ENDFUNCTION Missing.
I checked the code and no errors. Please suggest what should I change in FM Setting to fix the error. where is the function library
Please revise my code to make it work its very simple logic to populate the custom table se11 ZBW_SFLI001_DS to get the data fields from KNA1 and then fetch other fields from KNB1 where KNA1-KUNNR = KNB1 KUNNR.

Run time error in org sructure report

Hi All,
I am trying to execute org structure report s_ahr_6106493 with evaluation path BOSS_OE (Standard SAP evaluation path). The report fails on run time error. It looks like there is e recursion that causes that but I checked the data carefully & I don't have a recursion.
Did it happen to anyone? Any suggestions for solution?
Thanks a lot!

Can't install run-time engine on Ubuntu 8.04. Get /bin/sh failed to load.

Simply receive a message when trying to install the LabView run-time engine .rpm file that says /bin/sh failed to load (or is required, I forget exactly). I checked, I have BASH installed, and /bin/sh is a shortcut to an executable on my machine. Is this a bug in the installer, or is there something else I need?

LabVIEW installation is not supported on Debian based Linux systems (of which Ubuntu is the most popular). However, many people have had success installing to various flavors of Ubuntu. You can search these forums using the key Ubuntu and find the problems they had and how they solved them. If you cannot find an answer to your problem, let us know.

Teststand error states that a vi failed to load in the Labview Run-Time Engine

I am getting an error in teststand that states that a vi failed to load in the Labview Run-Time Engine version '14.0.1'
If I look at the software loaded on my system with the NI Measurement and Automation Explorer I have Labview Run Time engines for version 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, & 2014 on my system.
How do I get this VI to run on this system when it is called by test Stand?
Thank you

The RTE 14.0 was loaded as part of my deployment and after I ran this I got an update notice for the F1 patch which I also loaded.
I do not have labview loaded on this system, only the run time engines from running my deployment.
When I launch t he teststand sequence, when it calls the labview VI, I get the following error moessage:
Error: Failed to load VI 'C:\builds\RelayVoltageMeaure.vi' in the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine version '14.0.1'. LabVIEW: The VI is not executable. This error may occur because the VI is either broken or contains a subVI that LabVIEW cannot locate. Select File>>Open to open the VI and verify that you can run it. VI Path: C:\builds\RelayVoltageMeaure.vi[Error Code: -17600, Failed to load a required step's associated module. ]
I have attached the teststand sequence if this helps.
Thanks

NI-LabVIEW run-time engine interop 2010 failed to install

Hi,
While installing Labview 2010 (32 bit) I got an error message:
NI-LabVIEW run-time engine interop 2010 installation has failed with the following error:
Error 1935. .... (see the .ppt for screenshot if interested)... HRESULT 0x8002802F
I googled HRESULT 0x8002802F and found a page that said that this error is usually b/c of a missing/corrupt entry in the registry: file %windir%\system32\mscoree.dll, and that "repairing the highest version of the .NET Framework on the system will correct any problems resulting from this error."
I have verified that mscoree.dll is not present, and I don't have the .NET Framework installed on my system. SO, I have the following questions:
1) do you concur with the advice given on the page referenced re: the reason for the error;
2) If so, should I install .NET Framework, and what do I then need to do in LabVIEW to tell it that the .dll is now present?
3) If your opinion is other, what do you advise?
Cheers

Labview Installation error.ppt ‏227 KB

Hi Luke,
After doing some research, there are two possible solutions.
1) According to a KB, it could be your antivirus. You may want to try to turn off any spyware blocking software such as Ad-Aware, Norton, etc and try the installation again.
2) Another customer had the same error, and they got it working by installing .NET 3.5 from Microsoft's website and then installing LabVIEW again.
Hope one of those options work for you!

Run-time error '1004' -- Method 'Container' of object '_Workbook' failed

Dear All,
One of our users is getting the following Microsoft Visual Basic error while running the report S_ALR_87013614.
Run-time error '1004'
Method 'Container' of object '_Workbook' failed.
I have searched the forum posts for help. But I only found some details related to Run-time error 1004 related to some excel file security but not related to "Method 'Container' of object '_Workbook' failed".
Could anyone please tell me how this error can be eliminated for the user?
Regards,
Lakshmi.

Dear Arpan,
We too observed a few PIDs along with the one that you have mentioned but they make no difference. Some users who has the PID G_RW_DOCUMENT_TYPE set with some value are getting the report.
Upon further searching we are assuming that it could be an issue with the Microsoft applications or macro settings of the user. But not sure about it.
Regards,
Lakshmi Venigala.

List of BO reports failing daily and schedule run time

Hi,
Our BO reports are scheduled to refresh daily early mornings 2 - 6 AM and around 280 reports run daily. We want to know list of failed reports daily and measure run time differences for each report in different days and run time for all 280 reports.
1. List of failed reports (to check if same reports are failing daily)
2. Total run time for all reports
3. Change in run for each report on different days.
Could you please let me know how this kind of report can be generated.
Regards,
Nanda Kishore B

Hello Nanda Kishore,
Check below two links which can be helpful:
For query builder, below link has a 4 part series of queries. You can find the other links at the bottom on the page
BusinessObjects Query builder queries
If you are using BI 4.x, then below link has a set of sample auditing universe and reports.
I'm sure you can find the required reports in the attachment:
Sample Auditing Universe and Reports for SAP BusinessObjects_4_x
I think auditing would be the best way to get the information required.
I hope this helps!

Hi Krishna
Thanks for your reply, it was while trying to "edit" the page containing the shockwave file however it’s a bit of a strange one, as When I reposted this post , I had been experiencing the problem for about a week. I then went on leave for a week and when I returned it started working again???. I queried with my IT department if anything had changed or been updated but they could not think of anything.
So for now it's working, but if you have any thoughts on what may of happened I would appreciate any suggestions?
Thanks again
Luke

Run-time error -2147417848 (80010108), method '~' of object '~' failed

Hello
I have an application written in VB6 which uses Crystal 9 Reports (RDC). The application is running on Windows XP, SP2.
On this PC is .net Framework 2.0 installed and since then from time to time I get the message:
run-time error -2147417848 (80010108), method '' of object '' failed
But this error doesn't appear always, but when it happens, it happens always at setting the datasource
example:
repReport.Database.SetDataSource rsDummy
Does anybody know why this is?
Thank you for your help.

Hi, Urs;
Whereever the error is occuring, you should ensure you have the latest version of our files. For a client install, be sure that you are using the latest Merge Modules from our web site to deploy your application.
If you are not getting the error on your development system, you may have newer files there than on the client.

Podcasts failing to download but indicating a run time of 149.07.51

Most podcasts I've tried to download over the last two days are failing to download. In particular all the BBC podcasts are failing in this way
When I click on "get episode" it immediately comes up with a run time of 149.07.51. (Every time). I've since upgraded to V9 but this did not cure the problem.
Any help appreciated?

For posterity, and just in case anybody stubmbles accross this post whilst researching a similar problem.
The BBC, Apple and all the usual technical avenues could not help on this. In the end I had to complelety rebuild the PC. That sorted it. All working fine now.

Itunes failed loading C run time library

I downloaded and installed the latest Itunes update last night. The download failed because it daid that i was missing a driver. I located and installed the driver. Now I'm getting a Itunes attempted to load C++ run time library incorrectly? What can I do to fix this?

I haven't tried it yet but just saw this and I'm going to try it next time I'm on that computer:

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Adding complex computed column at run-time fails in PB 12.6

I support a large 'vintage' application that was originally written in the late 90's, and has been migrated from version to version over the years. Currently I'm working to get it working in PB 12.6 Classic, build 3506, migrating it from PB 11.5
The first issue I've come across is that PFC treeviews are not working properly. After some debugging, I determined that the cause of the failure is the PFC code's creation of 'key' column in the datawindows being used to populate each level.
In the pfc_u_tv.of_createkey function, it looks at the linkages between the levels of a treeviews data, and then crafts an expression, and then uses that to create a computed column, which is subsequently used to uniquely identify the data.
The expression is a series of string concatenations, such as this:
expression='String(ctg_cd) + "#$%" + String(app_cd) + "#$%" + String(app_cd) + "#$%" + String(win_id) + "#$%" + String(ctg_cd) + "#$%"'
This expression is then used in a modify statement to create the new compute key column:
ls_rc = ads_obj.Modify("create compute(band=detail x='0' y='0' " + &
"height='0' width='0' name=pfc_tvi_key " + ls_Exp + ")")
In earlier versions, this works, and when you do a getitemstring afterward you get a long concatenated value that PFC uses to uniquely identify treeview items.
Such as 'a/r#$%plcy#$%plcy#$%w_m_plcy_fncl_tran#$%a/r#$%'
However, in PB 12.6, only the first portion of the expression is processed. There is no error returned from the Modify function, and the column is created, but the expression is only evaluating one part of the expression. In this partiular case, it results in
'plcy'
I just noticed that this isn't the *first* item in the set of concatenated columns and string literals, which is interesting. In any case, when the computed key values are not correct, the whole method PFC is using to populate and run the treeview falls apart, and you get all children under each parent, and selections on the treeview object do not work properly because the key column values are not unique.
I can copy the expression value from a debugging session, and use that to create a computed column at design time, pasting the expression in, and naming it the same as the created column (pfv_tvi_key), and this then allows the treeview to work properly. However, this is a very cumbersome and problematic workaround. The application has a lot of treeviews, with a very large number of datawindows operating as all the different types of items on different levels of different trees. I don't think it's a practical workaround, and future maintenance would be very difficult.
bu the workaround still demonstrates it is not an issue with the syntax of the compute expression, just an issue with the way it is handled by PowerBuilder when a column is created at run time,vs. at design time.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? I would think there are a fair number of older apps still around that are using PFC treeviews.
My next step will be to install PB 12.6 build 4011 and cross my fingers. Other than that, perhaps try 12.5?

Updating the PFC layers has started to lead down a rabbit hole of hundreds and hundreds of errors.
Granted, many of these are probably rooted in a few ancestor issues.
But I'm not sure this will lead to a solution.
The problem lies in using a modify statement to create a computed column at run time containing an expression with multiple concatenated values.
If I look at the pfc_u_tv.of_createkey function from the newer PFC version, I see the same code there:
ls_rc = ads_obj.Modify("create compute(band=detail x='0' y='0' " + &
"height='0' width='0' name=pfc_tvi_key " + ls_Exp + ")")
And the same code above it which creates the expression used in the modify.
So after doing all the patching for the new PFC version, I somehow suspect I'll still be facing the same datastore.modify problem.
Not to say that isn't a good thing to do, just not sure it addresses the root of the problem.
