An invalid ENTRYID was passed in.

I set up my IPhone and had an issue with syncing. I uninstalled Outlook and reinstalled and then the syncing worked. Now if I create a contact on the phone and sync it to my computer, the contact shows up but if I try to open it I get this message. "The Properties dialog box could not be displayed. An invalid ENTRYID was passed in." I found a KB artical from microsoft that said to remove the Outlook address book and re add it. I tried that and no change. Anybody know how to correct this?

I had to do a bit different workaround, but your post really helped...
I was getting the same invalid ENTRYID error when accessing my contacts in Outlook 2007 through "Address Book", but I didn't have a problem if I opened them from within the "Contacts" view. All the problems seem to be with the contacts added from my iPhone, and I just assumed it was a mismatch of fields (what I mean is, fields on my phone are in a different place than in my Contacts.)
Also, in my address book I had what looked like a bunch of empty contacts at the top of the list - and those turned out to be business phone numbers (that I had entered on my iPhone) that did not have a person associated with them. I had put the name under the "Company" field and left First and Last Name blank. Apparently that freaked out Outlook...
This is what I did to "fix" it (and so far it works) - and remember, I couldn't access these contacts through "Address Book". This was all done through my Contacts view.
(1) I Opened each contact and changed the "File As" field to show First/Last (rather than Last Name/First).
(2) Clicked on the button "Full Name", then clicked okay to close that window
(3) Click Save-&-Close
If I didn't click on the "Full Name" button, it didn't change the name order when I saved the contact - even if I re-typed it.
So I think going into the "Full Name" window somehow forces the change you made to First/Last name order, and somehow this fixed all my problems.
You may need to close Outlook and re-open it before testing the changes. I did it before testing because I figured it was necessary, but it may not be.
I know I don't sound very tech-savvy, and I probably used elementary terms, but this worked for me - and this is AFTER trying the export/re-import of the address book route (which didn't work, by the way.)

Outlook sync error: invalid ENTRYID was passed in

Okay, I've looked through the forums for the last hour and can't find an answer:
When I got my iPhone and did my first sync all of my outlook contacts were moved to my iPhone just fine-this was 2 days ago. Today I wanted to sent an email to multiple contacts I brought up my address book. All the contacts that WERE there are not. It seems as though the contacts from my phone were moved to outlook so I lost some email addresses in the contact lists, but they are on my phone. When I double click on the contact to edit it I get this message: "The properties dialog ox cannot be displayed. An invalid ENTRYID was passed in." I tried going around this error and created a new contact with my name, number and email address. I saved it and tried to open the new contact I just made. It opened fine. I tried to open a contact I did not edit and I got the same error message again.
I did a sync with the phone again and the new contact I test created was no longer there. It is in my iPhone however. I tried to create a new contact again and now the new contact doesn't show up in my address book but they show up in my phone again.
So I can send info to the phone via my outlook 2007 addressbook but cannot send updated info from my iPhone into outlook.
I cannot use my address book to email a contact in outlook because of the above error.
Here are some the facts on my system:
I am running Vista on an HP notebook
I'm using Outlook 2007
When I go into the Add in's section I only one add in from iTunes, "iTunes Outlook Addin"
Newly created contacts created in Outlook do not appear there, but show up on my phone when I sync it
Edits I create on my phone do not map into Outlook contacts.
Does anyone know how to fix this? The posts I read seem to handle not being able to sync contacts at all...and I keep reading about two addin's in Outlook and I only have one. Could this possilbly be the issue?
I did not do any resets on the phone yet because I don't want to lose the contact info in my phone since I don't have them anywhere else except Outlook, so I wanted to ask you guys first.
Thank you for your help in advance!

Chocomonsters,
Have you tried the steps in article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 to further isolate the issue, in particular testing in a new user? If the issue occurs in the new user as well, it could be damaged data on the iPhone. You might want to try syncing your known-good contacts to your iPhone opting to "Replace Data", and if that doesn't correct the issue, try a restore of the iPhone setting it up as a new phone.
To sync replacing data, simply check Contacts under the "Advanced" portion of the Info tab.
More information on restore process: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Hope this helps,
Raleigh

Outlook Contacts "invalid entryid" error after edit on iPod Touch and sync

There are a few threads about this in the iPhone discussion, but so far nothing on the iPod Touch side and I'm encountering it in both Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 after testing on two different computers.
Issue:
1. Create or edit a contact on the iPod Touch
2. Sync with Outlook Contacts
3. You are no longer able to access the added or edited contact's e-mail address when composing e-mail. If you select the contact's properties from the e-mail interface, you receive an error message that an "invalid entryid was passed."
My discovery:
Deleting data from the "Display as" field in the Contact will fix the problem.
1. In the Contacts folder, open the contact with the problem.
2. Delete all data from the "Display as" field (displays with Email field).
3. Select any other field on the Contact form - "Display as" will automatically re-populate
4. Save the contact. Problem solved.
Not sure how iTunes sync is corrupting this, but thought I'd share the discovery since suggestions in the iPhone discussion involve exporting, deleting, and importing affected contacts.

Quick fix method for those who really can't be bothered with any manual methods. Below is a macro for Outlook that will, starting with the currently selected contact folder and including subfolders (mobileme groups), reset all email display names which effectively fixes the EntryID issue. There's no error checking, it's pretty raw but does the job. Hope it helps.
<STARTMACROCODE>
Option Explicit
Sub FixEntryIDs()
Call FixEntryID
End Sub
Sub FixEntryID(Optional ByVal contacts As folder)
Dim item As ContactItem
Dim subf As folder
Dim changed As Boolean
If IsMissing(contacts) Or contacts Is Nothing Then
Set contacts = ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
End If
For Each item In contacts.Items
changed = False
If Len(item.Email1DisplayName) Then
changed = True
item.Email1DisplayName = ""
End If
If Len(item.Email2DisplayName) Then
changed = True
item.Email2DisplayName = ""
End If
If Len(item.Email3DisplayName) Then

     ... 5 moreIf I remove the following attribute in the textFieldElement from the sample, then I am able to unmarshal it successfully.
xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/" But at the runtime, I cannot avoid this attribute in the XML message which I should unmarshal it.
Need help to resolve this.
..Thiruppathy.R

Hi,
So, the error is because of the validation failure due to the xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/". And because of some data is missing in the textFieldElement, which is required by xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/".
Pls correct me if I am wrong?
But, as you understood, the textFieldElement has simple data. In that case, Is there any way to by pass the validation for xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/", without removing it from the XML sample? Also please note, but the validation should happen for the xsd, that I have.
Thanks

There is no LEFT or SUBSTRING function used in the procedure and there are no triggers on either table.
The procedure had been working fine until today, when I altered one of the CSV fields. The code which triggers the error is this:
INSERT [myTable]
SELECT * FROM [myCSVTable]
The weird thing is, the 1st record containing the changed field (mstr: 1000000000000000017 js: 372651 epi: 1) triggers the error, but the 2nd record containing
the old field value (mstr: 1000000000000000017 id: 020000007 epi: 1), does not.
There are only blank spaces in the 2 strings, no non-printable characters or anything like that. I'm confused.

A View of myTable was causing the problem.

I also tried loading the XML locally from RTF Template. Again it throws me same error

I tried updating to iOS6 via itunes bc my storage space was pass limit and now my phone is telling me it's in recovery mode and I need to restore it. I didn't back it up. How do I take it out of recovery mode and keep the information on my phone?

You cannot. If it is in recovery mode, the data is already gone.
Did you fail to make sure everything was on your computer before updating?

Itunes could not connect to the ipad because an invalid response was received from the device

Hello
I just installed the maximus v extreme motherboard with a ocz vertex 4 ssd with windows 7 x64. Installation was fine and installing drivers went without a hitch. Re-installing the software i use went fine as well.
However, when i went to use iTunes( v10.7) to sync my ipad i got an error message saying:
"Itunes could not connect to the ipad because an invalid response was received from the device"
I then connected my ipod nano to see if it will cause the same error, but it worked fine. So i tried an iphone and the same error I got for my ipad came up.
I tried reinstalling the usb drivers, but the same error came up. I also updated BIOS to the latest version, but the error still came up. I also reinstalled itunes numerous times and still got the error. I reinstalled and updated all drivers as well. Again this did not fix the issue. I also tried to run itunes in vista compatability and xp compatability mode. Again this did not fix the issue.
I have also followed all the steps apple recommends to do on their website with regards to this issue, again it did not fix the issue.
It is a real pain as everything else works like a dream! Is there anything i can do to get itunes to work properly on my pc?
Thank you for your help!
System specs:
asus rampage v extreme motherboard
OCZ vertex 4 SSD
8 Gb DDR3 RAM (1600 mHz)
windows7 x64
Intel i7 3.5Ghz 1155
nvidia GTX295 (x2 running in Sli)

I fixed this problem. Believe the problem is iOS 7 incompatibility with older iTunes Versions on older MacOS systems or platforms.
My iPad 2 would no longer sync with my old PowerPC Mac mini running MacOS. My iPhone 3GS synced fine. IPad2 updated to iOS 7 which doesn't run on my iPhone 3GS. Error message for iPad sync problem was "invalid response received from iPad" out of iTunes. I then applied update iOS 7.1.2 to iPad and error message changed to indicate this version of iTunes not supported, use 11.1.
iPad 2 used to sync prior to iOS 7 installation.
Research on Apple web site shows iOS 7 on iPhones and iPads does not support older MacOS and iTunes versions.
Upgraded with new Mac mini and iTunes 11.1 and MacOS 10.9.2. (put this off as long as I could. )
all good now.

T61 keeps poping up 'An invalid argument was encountered.' dialog

Just since this week, my T61 started poping up very annoying dialog titled ' Power Manager Gauge', which was saying: An invalid argument was encountered. I don't know where this problem come from as T61 works fine since I bought it in Oct. 2007. Could anyone tell me (or give me a hint) what this problem is and where I can find the solution?
My computer system info is as following:
System Make: ThinkPad T61 8897CTO
OS: Windows Vista SP2 en-us
RAM: 2GB
Battery: 6 cell battery
ThinkVantage software: All updated to the latest via ThinkVantage System Update
Installed software: Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, Adobe Photoshop CS4, MS Office Enterprise 2007...
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

I'm having the same problem on my T61. It just recently started to happen. It seems to occur randomly and anytime that I try to access the Thinkpad Power Manager. I'll try to uninstall the Thinkpad Power Manager program and download and reinstall it. I never had the problem while running Vista 64-bit, and it only recently started while running Win7 64-bit. I'll let you know what happens after reinstallation.
UPDATE: I uninstalled and reinstalled the Thinkpad Power Manager and, after the required restart, all is back to normal with no more irritating '...invalid argument...' messages.

Help cannot be displayed because no help context ID was passed

Hi Guys,
When I click Help icon from HRMS 9.1, I got the below error.
"Help cannot be displayed because no help context ID was passed. To view the PeopleSoft Online Library, click here."
I can access PeopleBooks PSOL by http://webserver:port/PSOL/hrms/eng/index.htm correctly. Did someone run into this error before?
Thanks,
Bob

I've generally found this to be a problem with the URL you are using, in particular the case of the URL parameters, for example:
The following URL will work for PeopleTools PeopleBooks
http://hostname.domain.com:port/PSOL/htmldoc/f1search.htm?ContextID=MESSAGE_CATALOG&LangCD=ENG
Howe the following URL wil give you the help cannot be displayed because no help context ID was passed:
http://hostname.domain.com:port/PSOL/htmldoc/f1search.htm?contextID=MESSAGE_CATALOG&LangCD=ENG
Note that in the example that works the parameter is ContextID and when it fails the parameter is contextID (lowercase C).
This URL should be set up the in the appropriate web profile as the Help URL.

What may be the cause of this error java.sql.SQLException: invalid sql type passed to callable statement in iplanet ussing JNDI

Hi,
The possibilities can be of various reasons, with the sql statements,
xml descriptors, data sources, improper drivers anything. To crack down
the solution, kindly let me know the error messages and what exactly are
you trying to accomplish.
Thanks & Regards

Status 51:No status record was passed to ALE by the application

Hi All,
my scenario is file->XI->IDOC.
data is reaching r/3 system, but i see below error in WE02
status 51: Application document not posted
No status record was passed to ALE by the application
registering the function module, linking FM with basic type with direction equal to 2, assigning FM to process code and inbound parameters of partner profiles are configured well.
Plz let me know if i missed any steps.
Thanks,
Goutham

use similar thread
Inbound IDOC
In WE19, Give the IDOC number & execute ... then put the cursor on the idoc control record . then click on the Standard Inbound push button on the application tool bar.it will show show all the details like partner no,type , message type , process code & function module name ...
now put a break point in the function module .. & debug .
if u r using customised inbound function module , then click on inbound function module .. there u will get a pop screen with FM name & debugging option in both background & foreground mode...

No status record was passed to ALE by the application

Hi Experts,
My requirement is something like this: The middleware (XI) is triggering an IDOC which is Inbound to SAP-ECC. This IDOC is used for posting of Financial documents (Invoice and Credit memos).
I am processing the IDOC by writing a FM. Inside the FM I am reading data from IDOC and using a BAPI to post the documents. Then I am updating the status of the IDOC based on successful or unsuccessful posting.
Issue: When XI triggers the IDOC, the IDOC is resulting in status "No status record was passed to ALE by the application". This is not the status that I am populating inside my FM. This means that the control is not entering the FM at all (please correct if I am wrong).
My findings: When I re-process the same IDOC which resulted in error previously using WE19, the control goes inside my FM (obviously as I give my FM name in WE19 ) and the status gets populated according to my code.
Problem that I am facing is only when I am trying to do an Intergration testing.
I have searched SDN for same issue and found out that I need to clear/refresh all the necessary variables. I am doing that (and double checked it too).
Please help me with this problem as I am running out of ways to find the solution (and time also ).
Many thanks,
Daljeet.

Hi Daljeet,
Please check SM58 logs.

Getting error Invalid length parameter passed

Hi,
I'm getting an error running my query. It say "Invalid length parameter passed to the LEFT or SUBSTRING function. I will be getting the string in between of hyphen using the code below. May i ask your assistance or idea on how to fix this issue.
thank you.
Substring(ins.itemid,11,CHARINDEX('-',ins.itemid+'-',11)-11) AS MODEL
Msg 537, Level 16,
State 3, Line 1
Invalid length parameter passed to the LEFT or SUBSTRING
function.
Sample data of Itemid.
B300-4410-ONEMAX-U
B300-1725-XWHT-U
B300-3110-VT981-U
B300-1720-DRZRKCROBLK-U
B300-1720-DRDTHN32BLK-U

That'll cause empty strings to show up into you're result set but shouldn't cause the the SUBSTRING function to fail.
The error is the result of the SUBSTRING function trying to bring back a negative number of characters.
Try running the following and see what comes back...
SELECT ins.itemid
FROM dbo.TableName ins
WHERE LEN(ins.itemid) < 11
If you don't find any itemids what are less than 11 characters (I'm 99% sure you will), try using a little test script like the following to test suspect values...
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#temp') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #temp
GO
CREATE TABLE #temp (
itemid VARCHAR(30)
INSERT #temp (itemid) VALUES
('B300-4410-ONEMAX-U'),
('B300-1725- '),
('B300- 3110-VT981-U'),
('B300-1720-DRZRKCROBLK-U'),
('B300- 1720-DRDTHN32BLK-U')
SELECT ins.itemid
FROM #temp ins
WHERE LEN(ins.itemid) < 11
SELECT
SUBSTRING(
ins.itemid, 11, CHARINDEX('-',ins.itemid+'-',11)-11) AS MODEL FROM #temp ins
