Activate window controls for 'BAL_CNTL_CREATE'

I have coded a solution to do my own logging/display logs from a custom report within transaction MPD.
the logging part works and my 'on button click' calls the logs and displays the messages using BAL_CNTL_CREATE.
however the pop up window i get, i do not get the to use the "window" control to close the popup...
i am sure i have missed off a parameter, but not having done this before, i am unsure which parameter controls the pop up window. 
if i exit out of the transaction the window closes, however i want to be able to close the window and click another button to display my log....
my code so far:
*       create dialogbox container
  CREATE OBJECT g_container
    EXPORTING
      width  = 650
      height = 100
      top    = 150
      left   = 500
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS = 1.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
  ENDIF.
*       create a new log header
  CLEAR g_s_log.
  g_s_log-extnumber = 'CONSISTENCY LOG'.
  CALL FUNCTION 'BAL_LOG_CREATE'
    EXPORTING
      i_s_log      = g_s_log
    IMPORTING
      e_log_handle = g_log_handle
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS       = 1.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
  ENDIF.
*       add some messages
  LOOP AT output_message INTO ls_message.
    CLEAR g_s_msg.
    g_s_msg-msgty = ls_message-msgty.
    g_s_msg-msgid = ls_message-msgid.
    g_s_msg-msgno = ls_message-msgno.
    CALL FUNCTION 'BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD'
      EXPORTING
        i_log_handle = g_log_handle
        i_s_msg      = g_s_msg
      EXCEPTIONS
        OTHERS       = 1.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
              WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
    ENDIF.
  ENDLOOP.
*       get a display profile which describes how to display messages
  CALL FUNCTION 'BAL_DSP_PROFILE_NO_TREE_GET'
    IMPORTING
      e_s_display_profile = g_s_display_profile.
  g_s_display_profile-title     = 'Display Logs'.
  g_s_display_profile-pop_adjst = 'X'.
*       define amount of data to be displayed
  INSERT g_log_handle INTO TABLE g_t_log_handle.
*       create control to display data
  CALL FUNCTION 'BAL_CNTL_CREATE'
    EXPORTING
      i_container         = g_container
      i_s_display_profile = g_s_display_profile
      i_t_log_handle      = g_t_log_handle
    IMPORTING
      e_control_handle    = g_control_handle
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS              = 1.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
  ENDIF.

added this code to my method above:
SET HANDLER on_dialogbox_close FOR g_container.
and created a new method:
METHOD on_dialogbox_close.
  CALL METHOD sender->free
    EXCEPTIONS
      cntl_error        = 1
      cntl_system_error = 2
      OTHERS            = 3.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
  ENDIF.
all working for me!
ENDMETHOD.

  • Windows Controls for Common Library

    Hi, I am looking for some standard windows controls for the
    common library. Anybody have any or know wher ei can find them.
    right now I have to make them myself. If Adobe could provide them
    FW would really stick it to Visio.

    Hmm, are you using Fireworks CS3? We ship with out of the box
    mac and winxp controls that are interactive via the new symbol
    properties panel. There's also an extension on the Fireworks
    exchange that installs autoshapes that are controls for windows. If
    you are using Fw8 that would be the best bet.

  • How do I pre-activate windows 7 for our customers?

    We are an oem system builder deploying windows 7 and 8.1 to our customers. The microsoft documentation suggests that we should be able to activate windows on their behalf as long as the machine is then sysprepped so the user is presented with the windows
    welcome screen. 
    Here is the text from the "how sysprep works" page at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744512(v=ws.10).aspx
    "Activating Windows Before Shipping to a Customer
    Most customers can easily manage activation after receiving their computers. But if you prefer, you can activate the software on behalf of your customers, making it easier for them to start
    using their new computers. After activation is completed, most users will not need to activate their installation again.
    To activate Windows for your customer, use the unique Product Key from the certificate of authenticity (COA) label that is affixed to the specific computer, and activate the computer on
    behalf of the end user. Run the sysprep /oobe command to prepare the computer for delivery to the customer."
    In practice this is not working. I can activate the system in audit mode but after running sysprep /oobe /shutdown the product key is removed and the computer is no longer activated. I know
    that a key can be stored in an unattend.xml file and used with sysprep but any of the solutions to do so indicate that the key should be entered in the specialize or generalize passes. Neither of these passes are processed after running sysprep /oobe /shutdown.
    Sorry for the long winded post but I've been at this for a few days and I'm getting nowhere.

    That should work if the answer file is used to install or if sysprep is run with /generalize. The specialize pass is not processed during oobe or on first boot. 
    I attempted a test with an unnattend.xml file that has the oobeSystem and specialize passes. After oobe and after the computer starts this is what the unattend file looks like:
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
    <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
    <settings pass="oobeSystem" wasPassProcessed="true">
    </settings>
    <settings pass="specialize">
    <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <ProductKey>xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx</ProductKey>
    </component>
    </settings>
    </unattend>
    As you can see wasPassProcessed is set to true for the oobesystem pass but not for the specialize pass.
    And of course the product key prompt is shown.

  • Warning Messages related to Reconstruct Availability Control for Project

    Hi Gurus,
    In Transaction IM52 - Change Original Budget for Investment Management Program, after changing the Budget Values of Investment Management Position and when we check the transaction for error, we get Warning Messages, the warning message is as follows:
    You Must reconstruct the availability control for Project P.000XXX.
    We tried to reconstruct the Availability Control in Transaction CJBN and again checked for errors in IM52, then also we get Warning Messages.
    As these are only Warning Messages we can ignore and save the modified budget values for the Investment Management Program.  But we want to know whey these Warning Messages are keep on cropping up inspite of reconstructing the Availability Control for Project.
    You inputs on this will help us immensly.
    Thanks,
    KRN

    hi KRN!
    I am also facing the same issue.
    Even if i am having enough budget, while making a PO, the system says " Budget exceeded".
    i could processs the PO, after performing CJBW (deactivate), CJEN (refresh) and then performing CJBV ( activate availabilty control) for that project.
    This is repeating everytime i make a PO. is there any permanent solution?
    Even after performing all the above, if i check in IM52, and check for budgets (perform from menu), the error is " You Must reconstruct the availability control for Project P.000XXX"

  • Dual Control for GL postings

    Hello
    My client, a bank, wants to activate Dual control for GL postings (so not only dual control for changing vendor or customer or bank or GL master data using sensitive fields in customizing). How can I realize this requirement?
    Regards
    Arjan
    Dual control  = A control procedure whereby the active involvement of two people is required to complete a specified process

    Hi,
    Do you want dual control over GL master data changes or GL postings? For master data changes you could look at user exit SAPMF02H and maybe block the GL after a change has been made. For dual control of postings you could look at the concept of parked documents and approval /posting via workflow.
    Cheers

  • Grid Control for windows

    Hi Experts,
    We're trying to download and install Oracle grid control for windows 64bit but we can't find any 64bit release!
    Can we safely download and install Enterprise Manager 11g Grid Control Release (11.1.0.1.0) - Windows 32bit from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/grid-control/downloads/index.html ? or should we be installing a different version??
    Should Grid control be installed on the DB server in the 1st place or should it be installed on another server?
    Current Oracle Software: 11.2.0.1 64bit.
    Server OS: Windows 2008 Server 64bit.
    Can you kindly let us know.
    Thanks

    We finally got our facts right..
    The Grid Control Enterprise Manager comes only in 32 bits.. However the Grid Control agent that needs to be installed on the DB server comes in 32/64bits and is supported under different OS platforms.
    Metalink (Doc ID 412431.1) shows the Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Certification Checker/matrix that we found extremely useful.
    Enterprise Manager Grid Control comes with the basic features and is free to use. Any extra features are considered addons and do need to be properly licensed.
    Thanks

  • Why is there not a window control button for Hide?

    Hello.
    Why is hiding a window / app not a 1-click window control?  Perhaps with Option+Click as Hide All Others.
    Window controls exist to streamline common tasks; hiding is a very common task in OS X.
    Can't even find a workaround or 3rd party solution.  Any thoughts?
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your replies. 
    All technically correct information, but not quite what I was getting at.
    I'm aware of the available methods, but would like to have a single button in the app's window.  Single click, no modifier needed from the keyboard, no need to go to the dock, etc.  Imagine if none of the dots were available in the upper-left and you could only access those functions via methods similar to those that toggle the Hide feature.  Most people would probably want the dots back pronto.
    That's how I feel about the absence of a Hide button.

  • Can't activate windows vista

    I am trying to install Windows Vista Business (retail boxed) 64 bit.  The box didn't include 64 bit media and so I've downloaded it from technet. The install asks for the product key but it is not accepted "your product key cannot be validated.
    Review your product key and make sure that you have entered it correctly".
    I have been in a chat with microsoft for 2.5 hours so far and they have referred me to this forum. I don't feel that I am getting anywhere and I am incredibly frustrated.
    I enclose the contents of the chat so that you can see what has already been discussed and what steps have already been taken.
    You are now chatting with 'Ethan'.
    Ethan: at 10:05:35
    Hello Craig. Welcome to the TechNet Online Concierge. How may I assist you today?
    Ethan: at 10:07:56
    Excuse me, Craig, are you there?
    Craig Stenton: at 10:08:01
    Hi Ethan. I believe I spoke to you yesterday. I have a retail boxed version of Vista that has been unused that I'd like to use, but it only includes media for 32 bit and I am trying to obtain the media for 64 bit. I was given a link to download the software,
    which I have done but my product key doesn't work with the software - product key cannot be validated. The software that I have is Vista Business (box)
    Ethan: at 10:09:36
    Thanks for your inquiry. In that case, you may claim a product key from the downloading page by clicking the "Product Keys" button.
    Ethan: at 10:10:06
    Or do you still want to use that product key?
    Craig Stenton: at 10:11:07
    That's ok if I can legally do that. The software will not be used by me and so I'm not sure the technet license should be used by another. I'm ok with it because I know that I have got a license for Vista. Is that ok legally?
    Craig Stenton: at 10:12:01
    Also, now that Microsoft is finishing the technet program, what happens to the license keys? Will they become invalid at some point in time?
    Ethan: at 10:12:40
    Technically, they will continue to work as usual. However, according to TechNet Licensing Terms, you must remove all TechNet products after your subscription expires. There is no perpetual use rights for any TechNet subscription.
    Craig Stenton: at 10:16:08
    So how does that relate to this enquiry? If I use the technet license and then my subscription expires then I can no-longer use the technet product key. Is it ok to continue to use it in place of the one with the boxed product? If it will work technically,
    and I can prove that I have one product key (that I am not using for technical reasons) is that ok?
    Ethan: at 10:18:06
    In this case, I'd like to check your product key for you. Could you please send the key to [email protected] with "To Ethan" included in the subject so that I could know the issue better? Thanks.
    Ethan: at 10:20:45
    I mean I'd like to check why the key can't activate your media so that I could tell you if there is any other solutions.
    Craig Stenton: at 10:22:01
    My media only seems to install 32 bit but the license covers 32 bit and 64 bit. I need 64 bit media.
    Craig Stenton: at 10:22:46
    My product key doesn't work with the 64 bit media that I have downloaded from technet.
    Ethan: at 10:23:38
    Excuse me, you mean your product key is a 32 bit key, right?
    Craig Stenton: at 10:24:22
    I have a product key and just want 64 bit software to work with it. I want it to be legally correct but to a point, in my mind, it shouldn't matter if the software has to use a different product key to replace mine.
    Ethan: at 10:26:43
    Please note that product key and installation media must match with each other. Do you need me to check the type of your product key for you at this moment?
    Craig Stenton: at 10:27:07
    There is nothing on the box to say that it is 32 bit only. It does say "includes 32 bit dvd and information on obtaining 64 bit dvd", which does suggest that the product key is for 32 bit and 64 bit. there isn't any information to obtain 64 bit media
    Ethan: at 10:31:25
    Thanks for your information. In this case, I'd suggest you to contact our Windows Store support to see if they could provide you the retail installation media for you.
    Ethan: at 10:31:25

    By the way, may I know where did you get this product key?
    Craig Stenton: at 10:45:28
    But surely I can just download the 64bit software? I don't want to have to wait for a disk to be delivered and I don't expect to have to pay for it if it's available on download.
    Craig Stenton: at 10:46:19
    The product key is on the Vista Business box. I can provide a photo if you wish
    Ethan: at 10:46:31
    Sorry, I mean could you please tell me where did you  get your retail boxed version of Vista
    Craig Stenton: at 10:47:36
    Oh, sorry. I can't be certain. Possibly PC World - I used them quite a lot at that time.
    Craig Stenton: at 10:49:05
    I didn't buy it off ebay or other dubious sources if that is the purpose of your query. If I look back through our accounts I will be able to determine where it was purchased but that is a big task.
    Ethan: at 10:53:16
    I just double checked it for you, Windows Vista product keys should work for both 36 bit and 65 bit versions.
    Ethan: at 10:54:11
    **Windows Vista product keys should work for both 36 bit and 64 bit versions. Sorry for my typo.
    Craig Stenton: at 10:55:17
    I saw that but I know what you meant ;-> so, now that we know that my product key is valid for 64 bit, how do I download the 64bit media? It must be available.
    Ethan: at 10:57:55
    Just to confirm, your product key is for Windows Vista Business, right?
    Craig Stenton: at 10:58:50
    Yes, that is correct
    Ethan: at 11:02:37
    Could you please tell me if you have used before? Also please give me more information about activating the media downloaded from our TechNet site.
    Ethan: at 11:02:55
    **Could you please tell me if you have used the key before? Also please give me more information about activating the media downloaded from our TechNet site.
    Ethan: at 11:04:30
    Sorry, I just noticed that you said the key is unused. Then could you please tell me the error message when you activate with the key?
    Craig Stenton: at 11:04:52
    TBH, I'm not even sure I ever used it, but if I did, it wasn't for long. I purchased it so that I could support a couple of users with new Vista laptops but then downgraded them to XP due to problems (then) with Vista.
    Craig Stenton: at 11:06:14
    The problem that I get when trying to use my product key with the download from technet is "your product key cannot be validated. Review your product key and make sure that you have entered it correctly"
    Ethan: at 11:06:48
    In that case, could you please send the key to [email protected] with "To Ethan" included in the subject so that I could check for you if the key is still valid?
    Ethan: at 11:09:17
    Excuse me, Craig, are you still there?
    Craig Stenton: at 11:11:10
    yES, i AM STILL HERE. jUST SENDING THE EMAIL
    Craig Stenton: at 11:11:31
    Sorry, caps on for typing the product key in my email to you.
    Ethan: at 11:12:02
    It's okay, please take your time.
    Craig Stenton: at 11:16:24
    I have sent the email to you. I have included photos of the product key and the message.
    Ethan: at 11:17:08
    Thank you, please give me a moment to check it for you.
    Craig Stenton: at 11:19:47
    ok
    Ethan: at 11:23:57
    Still checking. Sorry for the delay.
    Ethan: at 11:31:44
    Thanks for your waiting. I have checked it for you, your product key is valid.
    Craig Stenton: at 11:32:23
    OK, but it doesn't work with the software downloaded from technet so what do we do about it?
    Ethan: at 11:32:27
    But I'm afraid it can be only used on one machine.
    Craig Stenton: at 11:33:06
    It will only be used on one machine.
    Ethan: at 11:35:24
    Our tool shows that the key has been used for activation before. Is that also on the same machine?
    Craig Stenton: at 11:37:40
    If it has been activated before then it would either have been my machine, in which case it hasn't been used for a very long time, or a 32 bit version on the machine that I am trying to use it on, which would have been in the past couple of days.
    Craig Stenton: at 11:42:44
    Are you still there Ethan?
    Ethan: at 11:43:46
    Sorry, I was taking to another customer online.
    Ethan: at 11:44:54
    Could you please provide me the file name of your installation media?
    Ethan: at 11:47:34

    Craig Stenton: at 11:47:41
    Yes I am
    Craig Stenton: at 11:47:56
    Do you mean the file that I downloaded from technet?

    Yes, you are correct.

    I understand that this is not Vista Business, which I queried in my chats yesterday and I was told that it is the same media and should be ok
    Ethan: at 11:52:13
    Yes, the media contains Windows Vista and other editions. Normally, you may just claim a product key for Windows Vista Business, then you can install Windows Vista Business on your machine.
    Craig Stenton: at 11:54:14
    OK, so can you help me with that please?
    Craig Stenton: at 11:54:42
    It seems that I have the correct media, and my product key is valid so there shouldn't be any problems

    Hi,
    I'm a bit confused with this paragraph, as you said Vista already install on your computer, why did you say Windows can't be installed?
    According to your description with your problem, it is Product edition and key are not match. Firstly of all, we must make sure the system you installed on your computer was
    Windows Vista Business, not matter 32 or 64 bit.
    Note: you can check current system edtion at System Properties.
    After that, you can try to input your product key and activate your system for test.
    If problem still presists, it would be better to provide the activation error message.

  • "the activex control for flash player could not be registered" - Solutions Roundup

    I recently ran into this problem on my computer:
    http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems2.jpg
    I am a Flash developer (as in I write SWFs, I don't work for Adobe).  and when I updated IE to 10.2, "the activex control for flash player could not be registered".  Since I am a developer, I also have Firefox and Chrome installed, with Flash running without problems.  For a long time now, Internet Explorer has used a different version (ActiveX) to the other browsers, which use plugins.  I am a strong supporter of Flash, it's great to develop with and has a very wide feature set which is growing all the time, unlike fixed technologies/standards.  However, the weakest part is the install process - I don't understand why their is a Download Manager.  Google Chrome does it's best (so far) by managing the install/update process entirely in the background.  Anyway, it was in my best interest to try and get to the bottom of this.
    For the record, on the problem machine I have Windows 7 with IE8, but I have seen almost  identical symptoms with IE9, Windows XP SP3, as well as various  iterations of Flash Player (10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and even some final  editions of version 9).
    First I tried the standard support here:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
    Basically, doing the manual uninstall and manual install of the latest version (without using the download manager, or have IE open).  This did not work.  I also tried the Microsoft "subinacl" program, together with "reset_fp10.bat".  This didn't work either.  However, you should try all of these things first before progressing further.
    A quick note about people who had tried running the following at a command prompt: "secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose"
    I didn't do this, because on investigating further it didn't seem to work with Windows 7, only Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 - though there was a few threads where this had fixed the problem for some users.
    For my solution, it is recommended you use the manual uninstall / installers, so you should have them downloaded ready to use.
    I then heard about problems with permissions in the registry with the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
    So I opened regedit.exe (start - run - typed "regedit.exe"), navigated to the key and sure enough, I couldn't open it - permission denied - even though I had an administrator account.  If for some reason, you can access this key (and any subkeys), then it's likely the following fix will not resolve the problem.
    I then done further diagnosis, by using Process Monitor to try and install Flash Player, and I got the following:
    http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems.gif
    This shows all the access denied errors the Flash Player install was experiencing when trying to write to the registry key.  This confirmed that this was the problem.  I only stress this because several people said it was unwise to tinker with the registry.  Though this is common advice, this is the only known fix for this precise problem at present, since you need to manually adjust the permissions yourself.  I don't know who is at fault here - Microsoft or Adobe - but let's just get Flash fixed...
    The solution:
    Firstly, you may want to backup your registry, or the exact key.  I didn't do this so I've provided no instructions on how to, but it is recommended for the paranoid.  Also make sure as much software is closed down as possible - browsers, IM software, any junk in your system tray. As way of example, I happened to have "BBC iPlayer" installed and running in the background which uses Adobe AIR and Flash Player, so I exited that too.
    1) Open regedit (start - run - type "regedit.exe").  You may need to right click on it and select "Run As Administrator", but I didn't as my account was already administrator.
    2) Navigate to the key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
    Click on it to confirm that you cannot access it (you will get an error) - if their are no problems - this probably isn't the cause of your issues.
    3) Right click on it and click Permissions, and ignore any message that may pop up.
    4) Under "Group or Usernames" click "Add".  Type your account name name, or "Administrators" in the box, then "Check Names" to format it correctly, then Ok.
    5) Now on the next screen click the checkbox to enable Full Control (this will also automatically enable "Read" permission too).
    6) Click Advanced, then the "Owner" tab at the top.  You will see that their is no "Current Owner".  This is what we will now fix.
    7) Click on your name to change the owner to (I went for Administrators).  Also enable the checkbox entitled "Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects".  Then click Ok.  You will get an error message, which you can try clicking Retry to, but hit Cancel - this is not a problem.
    8) Click Ok a couple of times and this part of your registry is now fixed.
    9) Now it's a simple case of running the manual Flash uninstall program, then finally the manual Flash installer (for Active X - not the Firefox/Chrome plugin versions).  To my surprise, after a couple of days looking into this - I finally had a solution and Flash in IE once more.  If you are using Firefox too you may find Flash is no longer installed their (the uninstaller removed it).  In this case just install via the Adobe site or try to watch a video on You Tube and you will be prompted or linked to the install.
    Hope this provides a good round up of the possible solutions to this problem.  Hopefully Microsoft or Adobe can find out what causes this issue in the first place so we don't have to go down this route for much longer.  Chrome's implementation of Flash shows how effortlessly things can work!

    They will stay on the screen.  However, Process Monitor is only intended for advanced users.  It is recommended that users try to navigate to the troublesome registry key using regedit, and see if they can access it or not without an error.  This is far easier than trying to use Process Monitor, which is very complicated.
    I used Process Monitor to confirm that it was just that key which was causing the problem, and not others.  Process Monitor is not to be confused with the new Resource Monitor which is accessible via Task Manager in Windows 7 (and possibly Vista).  If you must experiment (and Process Monitor is very useful for diagnosing many deep-level problems if you know what you're looking for) Process Monitor can be downloaded from here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
    It replaces the older Sysinternals "FileMon" and "RegMon".  For those interested in the technical side, I had to setup a number of filters to be able to get the results display as in the screenshot.  First of all to just show Registry events.  Then to just show events from the manual Flash activeX installer executable.  The I added a filter to show only non-successfull results.  And finally, for the purposes of the screenshot, added a filter to just show those with "Access Denied", since other non-critical errors are also picked up due to missing keys because installation has not yet been fully completed I guess.   When experimenting, most of these filters were applied using the "is not" boolean logic, which will make sense if you experiment with the program.
    Without adding any filters, it picks up so many events (hundreds per second) that it's otherwise unusable.  e.g. 40,000 events within the first few seconds of opening the program. For this reason, I recommend simply using Regedit to diagnose the problem with the particular Flash registry key.

  • Claims debacle (error) with Term Store: "Could not retrieve a valid windows identity" for all sites in a particular web app.

    When I pull up the Term store in CA or any MySite collection, it works.
    When I do so in any other site collection (HNSCs, incidentally), It doesn't return any term stores.
    My ULS log immediately before and after the "/_vti_bin/taxonomyinternalservice.json/CheckPermission" POST on termstore .aspx triggers the WCF call:

    Claims Authentication g220 Unexpected No windows identity for contoso\domainUser.
    The "The caller is not authorized to access the service." message seems pertinent.
    Both web apps are using only NTLM auth.
    The url for both web apps ends in the same contoso.com domain. 
    I get the same errors no matter what account I use, including the install account.
    Things I've tried:
    Deleting and building a new HNSC root web app and site. Error happens in all sites in all web apps except the PBSC hosting MySites.
    Giving the root site app pool identity full control of the metadata service app (even though the MySite identitiy doesn't have it)
    Giving the root site app pool identity full permissions on the metadata service app.
    Comparing database and web app config permissions between dev (where everything works perfectly) and prod (where it does not).
    Made sure IIS auth settings on both sites are identical
    Both sites are using the same SSL certificate (though the call to the web service appears to be http)
    Reprovisioned the metadata service app with a new database and new app pool identity.
    Made sure C2WT is running. Tried it with the service stopped as well.
    Web.configs are identical between working and non-working apps.
    I'm stumped but still Googling. I'm hoping to avoid having to call Micrososft. Any help would be appreciated!
    UPDATE:
    Interestingly, when I restored the web application from backup (via CA), I ended up with 3 identical "Windows Authentication" authentication providers assigned to the problem web app. Since there was more than one, I was directed to the provider-chooser
    page when visiting the site. Upon choosing 1 of the 3, I was authenticated, and *poof*, no more authentication errors and the term store loaded term sets as expected.
    Of course, 3 providers was not an ideal state, so I grabbed the one that worked (#1) via get-spauthenticationprovider, and assigned it to the web app via set-spwebapplication, and my problem returned.
    I am currently updating the farm to SP1 from June 2013 CU. Fingers crossed.
    Update:
    The update to SP1 went smoothly, but did not resolve the issue. Also related (I believe) are the random authentication errors when trying to upload images to some libraries, and 401-errors on the accessdenied.aspx page itself.
    Update:
    The problem is resolved, seemingly after making 4 changes. I'm trying to narrow down which change was the cure, if any:
    I installed SP1 on all 6 servers, rebooted and upgraded. This appeared to have no effect.
    Removed an old login from SQL that no longer existed in AD because of this ULS error:
    System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The user or group contoso\svc_xxxxxxxxx' is unknown., StackTrace:    at Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPUtility.GetFullNameFromLoginEx(String loginName, Boolean&
    bIsDL)
    This login was the identity of the application pool that used to run the web app in question.
    This login was the schema owner of a schema named after itself on every SharePoint database so I changed the schema owner to dbo but left the schema attached.
    The problem may have surfaced initially when the app pool identity was changed in CA, but went unnoticed?
    Note that the web app had been deleted and recreated many times with a new identity and pool to no avail, but the URL remained the same throughout each attempted fix. Relevant?
    Grasping at straws, I changed the app pool identity for this web app to the same one that runs the MySite web app pool as per this only slightly related problem: http://www.planetsharepoint.org/m/preview.php?id=372&rid=34764&author=Vlad+Catrinescu
    I changed the authentication method from NTLM to Negotiate.
    I am rolling back #3 and #4 to see if the issue resurfaces.
    Update:
    It doesn't appear to have been the NTLM/Negotiate setting. Web app is currently set to NTLM and all is well. No strange accessdenies, and term Store is still manageable from all sites.
    Update: Sorry for the delay. I am administering 6 farms these days. Will update as soon as the final phase of rollbacks happens.
    I think I can. I think I can.

    maybe that web app was accidentally created with classic auth?
    here's an example of how to create claims based, with classic, and then "doing 2013" claims
    #Create the example web application, as mentioned above, either with gui, and pick later, or
    New-SPWebApplication-ApplicationPool$applicationPool-ApplicationPoolAccount$serviceAcct-Name$WebApp-Port
    5050
    -databaseName$contentDB-securesocketslayer
    #If doing for 2013
    New-SPWebApplication-ApplicationPool$applicationPool-ApplicationPoolAccount$serviceAcct-Name$WebApp-Port
    5050
    -AuthenticationProvider(new-spauthenticationprovider)
