Activation cancelled due to missing approval - RECN061

Hi,
I do not have any worflow triggerred for creation of the contract.
but i am facing this error.
please help
regards
jaya

Hi,
if I understand your question, you have got data dictionary structers and tables which are the same in both systems, although missing transport. But in target system, a table is inactive(or partially active). What about the structure status in target system? Is the structure active? If yes, maybe a table just need to be adjusted in target system (transaction SE14). The reason, why it is not active is maybe just because this adjustement is missing and has nothing to do with missing transport.

Adrian

We're having trouble downloading also, but may finally have succeeded, just by trying over and over. Hard to tell. I'm at 22% of the download now.
Details:
I tried downloading JDeveloper 9i from the Web site but got an error. Is there a broken link at your Web site?
Details:
From: http://www.oracle.com/ip/develop/ids/
I clicked on:
"Only $995, or download free":
which took me to:
http://www.oracle.com/go/?&Src=1284591&Act=21
where I was properly recognized as:
Fred Stluka
because I had already logged in to OTN during that browser session.
Then I clicked on:
"FREE Oracle9i JDeveloper Software"
which took me to:
http://www.oracle.com/go/?&Src=1284591&Act=21&spv0=THX
Then I clicked on:
"Download Oracle9i JDeveloper"
which took me to:
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/jdev/htdocs/soft.html
I checked the 5 boxes in the "ELIGIBILITY EXPORT RESTRICTIONS" section and clicked:
"I Accept"
which took me to:
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/jdev/htdocs/soft.html
I clicked on:
"jdev9i_902.zip"
which tried to take me to:
http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdeveloper/jdev9i_902.zip
But this reported the classic IE error message:
"The page cannot be displayed
Cannot find server or DNS Error"
This is an intermittent problem. It failed many times in a row for me, but eventually succeeded.

Active Hardware Key is missing in ECC 6.0

Hi All,
I have an issues with my ECC 6.0 system. Once I restart my application server due to hardware maintenance. Since that time, I can't logon to my ECC 6.0 except in client 001 with user SAP*. I found in transaction SLICENSE that my active hardware key is missing...
Could anyone help me with this problem ??
Rewards points will be give to you who could solve this problem.
Thank you..

Dear,
Do you have a license installed ? (check the slicense status)
You may request a new license in SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/licensekey
Please note that as of Web Application Server ABAP 7.0 the license keys are digitally encrypted. Therefore you must request a new license key for your existing or new system if you are using a SAP product based on Web AS 7.0. Request your digital encrypted license key with license type standard and install it as described in SAP note 870871.
I hope this helps,
Lucio Rodrigues

DSO Activations failed due to No active export DS

Hi Expert,
The DSO loads with no problem, but the Activate step fails with error message "No active export DS (DS:**,LS:**) for DSO ***. Activity canceled"
We solved the issue by running this abap program RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL..
But still missing the root cause for issue .
I am having this problem for several DSOs in several different chains.
Thanks,

Generating Export DataSources for InfoProviders
The export DataSource is needed to transfer data from a source BI system into a target BI system. The user can use the selected InfoProvider as a DataSource for another BI system.
1. In the Data Warehousing Workbench in the BI source system, choose Modeling and select the InfoProvider tree.
2. Generate the export DataSource using the context menu of the user InfoProvider.
To do this, choose Additional Functions -> Generate Export DataSource.
The technical name of the export DataSource is made up of the number 8 together with the name of the InfoProvider.
The export DataSource is needed to transfer data from a source BI system into a target BI system. The user can generate an export DataSource for master data, and thus for individual InfoObjects. By doing this, all the metadata is created that is required to extract master data (all attributes, texts, and hierarchies) from an InfoObject.

ORA-19612: datafile 0 not restored due to missing data

Hello,
I'm testing a restore of the controlfile. The database is in archivelog mode and autobackup is set to ON. I successfully did a full backup and backup as copy database.
To test I did the following:
- note the DBID
- shutdown the database
- renamed both controlfiles:
$ mv /u02/rcat/control01.ctl /u02/rcat/control01.ctl_old
$ mv /u02/fra/rcat/control02.ctl /u02/fra/rcat/control02.ctl_old
When I try to restore the controlfile form autobackup I receive the following error. What could be reason please?

Background process zffd terminated due to missing confirmation

Hi all,
 In production system loading 2500000 lak data load to DSO when try to activate the DSO throwing below error. Kindly guide me on this.
Error:
Background process <ZASDFFF> terminated due to missing confirmation
Thanks

Hello,
To resolve this issue, you should make some adjustments to the DataStore
object parameters, then you should be able to activate the request.
Please make the following adjustments in transaction RSODSO_SETTINGS
(you can adjust this for each DataStore object):
1) Maximum package size (for activation).
 This you should reduce to 10000 (if the value is higher than that)
 Then the package processing will be less time consuming.
2) Maximum wait time for process (for activation)
 This could be increased to e.g. 600 (if the value is lower than this)
See SAP note 1118205 for further information.
Best Regards
Barry

Background process BCTL_4CEDE3M8RTW5WPMQ01YVZ4QYE terminated due to missing

Hi,
I am getting following error when i am activating ODS (Bi 7.0)
Background process BCTL_4CEDE3M8RTW5WPMQ01YVZ4QYE terminated due to missing confirmation.
I tried reloading and activating it,
i tried with RSRV adjusts.
I tried changing package size.
I tried reducing parallel executions.
Still not able to activate. Can some one help me.

Here are the short dump details
Short text of error message:

Long text of error message:
Diagnosis
     The system tried to initialize the environment for processing
     parallel RFCs using the function module SPBT_INITIALIZE. The server

This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions....

I've been testing Windows 7 RTM for my company lately. So far it has been working great...until I installed JRE.
Here, we have some accounts restricted to the point that only a set list of EXEs are allowed to run. When we had Windows XP, there wasn't a problem. javaw.exe was part of the allowed programs.
While testing Windows 7, I came across this error immediately after opening Internet Explorer: "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer."
I disabled the GPO temporarily that controls the allowed EXEs and that message went away. If the GPO is enabled, it comes back. Furthermore, I uninstalled Java to see if it would come up with the GPO enabled. Everything was flawless!
What am I missing that starts with IE for Java??

dudleyb wrote:

Where does IE come up?
When I start IE I always configure it to start blank (browser line says "about:blank"). If you are instead going to a location that location might require java.
If that doesn't help then someone in the GUI forums might know what IE does on startup that might cause problems with that (like preloading the VM.)

This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions... - Office 2013 (Windows 2012R2 RDS)

Hello,
We've got an Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Server farm for Multi tenant pursoses. therefor we've decided to use the following GPO setting: "Restrict Access to the Following Drives" in combination with the "Hide the following drives"
for both settings we've set the C: drive to be inaccessible through regular browsing. This causes an issue when users, that open up their documents from an outlook attachement or an internet explorer webpage. Is there a way to get around the error message:
"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer" or perhaps change the error.
I've already been experimenting with the outlooksecuretemp registry and setting the temp/tmp environment variable to another location which then allows users to save in an temp folder but prevents the message, this then causes documents
to get lost since such a location gets auto cleaned after logging off. Due to multitenant purposes i dont want to change 2 GPO settings mentioned earlier.
I did how ever found the setting: "File open/save Dialog" (+ "Approved Locations") setting which prevents the error message but therefor causes other issues. Like beeing unable to press a library or explorer.
Anyone got any suggestions on how to prevent the error message?
Thanks!! And when more information is required please let me know so i'll try to explain the exact situation.
Regards,
Dennis

I have the same issue as Dennis described. Environment is Server 2012R2 and Office 2013.
"Restrict Access to the Following Drives" and "Hide the following drives" are set
After the users have opened an attachement, a pdf for example, and then hit 'save as' the error message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this Computer. Contact your Administrator" occurs. Finally it
showed the save as dialag and pointed to redirected documents.
I've also tried to set the 'OutlookSecureTempFolder' to the value U:\ in HCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Security. Drive U:\ is mapped correctly.
But when I have opened the attachment, the registry value has changed to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\....
BTW: In a Server 2008R2 environment with Office 2010 the modified 'OutlookSecureTempFolder' worked like charm.
Any new ideas?

Markus

3113: Activity 'XXPONIT/233480' is missing a function reference.

Hello All,
I have designed a workflow in which i have to call workflow for n number of times.
In this workflow i have taken one notification and one function . when user submits workflow, its reached to user's parent level(1). If it approves then forwarded to function. it will check whether for that parent level(1) parent is found or not. if parent is found then it will identify the parent level(2) and sets into Attribute level(1) .
and forwarded back to notification.
when i am trying to run this workflow am getting the *(3113: Activity 'XXPONIT/233480' is missing a function reference.) error.
Eg. ____________Yes_______

Background process BCTL_** terminated due to missing confirmation

Hi Experts,
I have a step in Process chain for activation of a request in DSO. But its failing frequently with error message "Background process BCTL_* terminated due to missing confirmation*". I tried to remove the step from process chain and rebuild it, this avoided the failure for a day. But its failing again at same place.
Can you please guide if anything can be done to stop this failure in future?
Regards,
Nirmal

Production order variances due to missing usages of overheads

Hi Team
We have noticed production order variances due to missing usages of overheads (labour, personnel, consumables, scrap). Where do those kind of variances come from and how they can be prevented/corrected.
Br, Kiran Unde

Hi Kiran,
This is because those Activity Types are not entered during Confirmations for Production Order. To correct those field, you need to perform Confirmation and enter the values for those Activities.
To prevent this in the future and to ensure those fields are entered during confirmation, you can do the following:
Make the system propose values for Activities automatically based on Standard Values.
Go to transaction OPK4
Select appropriate Order Type and Plant
Select tab "Individual Entry of Operation with Initial Screen"
In the "Services" section, tick "Propose"
Make the fields mandatory
Go to transaction CO86
Set related Activity to Confirm fields as mandatory by placing the radio button under "Req" column

After installing Firefox then closing it, I cannot open it, PC says it has been cancelled due to restrictions on my computer

I have run Firefox for over a year now. However I ended up with various pop-ups recently though they were easy enough to remove and didn't effect Firefox in any obvious way. In the past few days every time I have attempted to open Firefox, even right-clicking on the .exe file a warning pops-up saying "the operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. please contact your system administrator".
I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and it worked fine, only to return to that warning message after I closed and re-opened it. This has also effected Google Chrome in the exact same way even though I never owned Chrome until all this business began. Internet Explorer, which I'm on now has suffered no problems.

After installing the safari update for windows, outlook is now not opening email hyperlinks. I have set safari to be my default browser but outlook won't open it when I click a link.

Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

Here is our environment: Windows Server 2008 x86 SP2 Terminal Server running Citrix XenApp5.0 with Office 2007 installed. We have a Group Policy to restrict users from access the server's C:\ drive. When our users open or save a Microsoft
Word, Excel, etc. document they are presented with the following error. "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your systems administrator." When our users click on the OK button it
allows them to open or save the document. If I remove the restriction to C:\ from our Group Policy, then everything is working fine. Please tell me how to fix this problem. Thanks.

Hi Jeffery,
Unfortunately, I could not work around this and MS said it was by design. I even tried some clever stuff with symbolic link s but to no avail. I simply ended up informing my users to ignore the message and continue. i don't want anyone to be able to browse
the C: drive so I'm leaving the NoViewOnDrives registry key in place. However, there is one possible workaround but for me , it didn't suit:
Change the temp location of the folder Outlook uses for attachments

Also, I'd recommend forcing all attachments to open in read-only mode http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953621
Annoying but you can't have everything i guess :(
