Unable to create new Master Record

Hi,
I have created a new sales area and assignes the org units in OVXG. and the same in "assign sales area to sales Doc type".
Now with this sales area i can create a sales order.So it seems that in Enterprise Structure everything is OK.
But when i try to create a customer in XD01 system is showing the messege "sales org 1100, dist ch 15, Div 01 is not defined for customer ans also in MM01 screen messege is "Sales org 1100, dist channel 15 is invalid".
What could be the problem?
Regards
Debasish

HI.
If u want to create masters, u have to make entries in
1. Common Distribution Channels - OVR1
ex . Sales Org    DChan     DCh Cond       DCh Cust/Mat
       1100            00            00                   00
2. Similarly Combine Divisions - OVR2
Ex. Sales Org    Division     Div  Cond       Div Cust
       1100            00            00                   00
In short make entries in OVR1 AND OVR2.
Thanks
Prashant.

    Previously, I had unregistered the target schema from "OWB Runtime Audit Browser" logging as a QA user and registered to a new schema from OWB DEPLOYMENT MANAGER.
    I am able to deploy the mapping from Owb Deployment Manager and the deployment goes OK.
    I have also gone through the links:
    OWB execution error : ORA-20213: Unable to create standalone job record
    Re: ORA-20213 during execution
    But, did not find the solution.
    When I execute the mapping from Owb Deployment Manager after right clicking on it, it is working fine. But, above execution method is not working.
    We want to run the mappings in the above way, because all our mappings in our other projects are running fine in the above sql run procedure.
    Can you please help me out, how to fix the above errors?
    Thanks & Regards,
    lenin

    Good morning Lenin,
    Since the other threads do not apply, you've gotten yourself into a strange situation.
    I'm not familiar with the method you use to run the mapping, have you tried running the mapping using the SQL-template that OWB provides or - like I do - the run_my_owb_stuff script provided by the OWB time? If not, could you try that please?
    Apart from that, I don't have any experience with your exact error message so it's hard to share anything concrete, I can only suggest things. Maybe there are other users on this forum that do, who knows...
    If you want concrete support, log a TAR with Metalink, they are obligated to help you if you have a CSI :-)
    Good luck, Patrick

  • ORA-20213: Unable to create standalone job record

    We are currently in the process of upgrading our repository from 9.0.2.56.0 to 9.2.0.2.8 and we have moved our mappings into new repository by importing an MDL file. We have successfully deployed a mapping from new repository but when we attempt to execute this mapping using:
    DECLARE
    retval NUMBER;
    BEGIN
         retval:=Map_Wm_Osa_Fund_Pl.Main(F_Initialize_Owb);
    END;
    we get the following:
    ORA-20213: Unable to create standalone job record - there may be no task defined for this map
    ORA-06512: at "PRM_OWB_RUNTIME.WB_RT_MAPAUDIT", line 1252

    ORA-06512: at "PRM.MAP_WM_OSA_FUND_PL", line 3913
    ORA-06512: at line 4
    Any help on this would be much appreciated.

    Alright, here's the work around for this, I'm also using the following to run mapping.
    DECLARE
    RetVal NUMBER;
    P_ENV WB_RT_MAPAUDIT.WB_RT_NAME_VALUES;
    BEGIN
    -- P_ENV := NULL; Modify the code to initialize this parameter
    RetVal := SCHEMA.MAPPING.MAIN ( P_ENV );
    END;
    My mapping was running fine until I have tried to deploy it under a different location.
    Somehow OWB Runtime remembered my old location and was confused between the two. That's why you see this error.
    Option 1.
    Rewrite your mapping, this is ok if it's a small mapping.
    Option 2.
    1. Export your mapping(s) (MDL file)
    2. Delete your mapping from the repository.
    3. Import a backup of your mapping before the second location was created. (It’s doesn't matter if it's a old backup)
    (At that point you should be able to run the old mappings without error)
    4. Import the good backup over the old mapping, (use merge option during import)
    Your mapping should run now.

  • Unable to create new events in iCal

    I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS7, and now when I try to create a new event in iCal, nothing happens. I am able to tap the "+" and enter the event information, but when I tap "Done", no new event appears in the calendar.
    If I, instead, create the event in the Calendar on my PC, the phone syncs with Outlook, and the event appears on the phone's iCal app.
    Why am I suddenly unable to create new events on my phone in iOS7, and how can I fix this issue?

    Thanks! I've noticed the phone has been a bit "clunky" since the update too. Did you experience the same thing & did the hard restart help?

    why would you steal your music id password? ..nokia id / account is different from windows live id btw.
    maybe you already have a windows live account, thats why its showing the that problem. check settings > email+accounts > you should ideally have only one(1) 'microsoft account' in there. if you want to use another one, you might want to just 'change' the existing one with your new credentials.

    There could be many reason like IIS issue, Space issue, Permission issue, SQL issue which is not possible us to guess rather
    you need to jump in the SharePoint log(Program Files\Common files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS) and find out the specific error log its throwing after which trouble shoot can be start.

    Hi, can you create customer master record from employee data (HR) like you do with RPRAPA00 for vendors?

  • Creating Vendor Master Records from HR Master Records

    Dear Experts,
    I have been using t-code PRAA to create vendor master records from HR master records.  The client would like to have one vendor number for a group of employees (in this case external contractors all working for the same company).  The system won't allow me to link several PERNR to one LIFNR (i.e. error message).
    Is it, however, possible to do this?
    Thank you.
    Edited by: Philip on Jan 14, 2011 9:58 PM

    Hi ,
    PRAA has one to one relation ship , means it created 1 vendor for 1 employee .
    If you are using PERNR then you cant use one vendor to may PERNR .
    Either create them as individual vendor or else have a manual control system in place where in you will have to create a dummy PERNR and then allocate all the cost to this invidual vendor , if you are paying the check to only 1 contractor for say 100 contract employees you can use this .
    else it is a better mechanism and control to have 1 is to 1 in case of employee to vedor .

  • FTP error-Unable to create new pooled resource: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ft

    Hi,
    We have a scenario where XI receives a Idoc and based on the contents of Idoc, It will generate 5 different files and send it to the external FTP server.We configured 5 receiver channels for these 5 files.
    When this interface runs, most of the files will be delivered but some of the messages will be errored out.
    The receiver channel has shown the following error-
    Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error when getting an FTP connection from connection pool: com.sap.aii.af.service.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx
    I tried to resend them by temperorily stopping other channels to reduce connections to this FTP server.But these messages again resulted with same error.
    Can someone suggest what might be the cause for this error.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi ,
    As I am not sure about the problem so U just try all of the option I am writing below. It may help u as these are the probable solutions for this problem.
    1.perform Full CPA cache refresh using PIDIRUSER
    2.The problem seems to be in establishing the connection with the File server . This could be due to
    a. Wrong user name or password in receiver adapter .
    b. Firewall connection are not open
    actually you are saying that some files are being delivered so all the file has to be deliverd on same server on diffrent directory or all files are going on diffrent server at present I am assuming that all files are going on diffrent server so please check UID & PWD properly.if they are on same server but diff. directory it can be easily done using one Communication channel only.
    3. Finally please check the errorneous communication channel .
    to check your communication channels are working fine or not you can check in channel monitoring in PI7.0, adapter monitoring in Xi3.0.
    if you are on PI7.0, goto RWBCache monitoring select AE and cilck disply-select the date todays--check everything is greent here
    4.Please check your maximal connection pool .

  • Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread on Win2000

    Dear all,
    I install a java server (SAP J2EE) on the windows machine and run into the following problem: the total number of threads cannot exceed 1200 (as i see this in the task manager)
    After it does reach this number no other tasks can be started. Thereafter i get java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread error .
    However the other machine where the same distribution of Win2000 Server is installed can easily coupe with more than 2500 theads. The same is true when the safe mode on the first machine is on: I can generate more than 1200 threads. So it seems the problem has something to do with Windows itself.
    I am really puzzled here, would really appreciate any help.
    Thanks in advance,

    well, i do not supply any options when i start jvm, but it is not the course:
    it also happens with c programs. however in the safe mode it works. both for c and for java program.
    so it must be either some software (however memory is ok) or ...? i am lost. In some Unix system you can set the total number of threads allowed as an option in the kernal. But i guess this is not the case with windows.

    This only tells you that the JVM is running out of heap space. It doesn't tell you what is causing the problem. You likely have a memory leak, but you could also try increasing the max heap size of the JVM (-Xmx command line option). It would help to watch the % mem in use statistic, but only immediately after a garbage collection cycle (you can force a GC from the admin console). If the % mem in use after the GC is increasing over time, then that likely confirms you have a memory leak. Note that looking at that statistic during the server startup probably is irrelevant. You'd need to wait until the server finishes starting up, and likely processed a few messages (to load static data).
    If you get to the point of confirming that you have a memory leak, that requires doing detailed analysis with a Java profiler (JProfiler, JProbe, YourKit, etc.) to track down the source of the leak.
