Backup causing problems with IFS files being locked

We are having occasional but significant problems with our regular IFS backups. The symptom is that random SAP batch jobs, or tp processes will fail overnight. These seem to be related to the IFS backup running at the time, and appear to be that batch jobs are unable to write their log file, or a tp process will fail due to being unable to access a file of some sort (usually log or /usr/sap/trans/tmp files).
Is there a way of making an IFS backup 'online' so that it does not lock the files but simply gets a fuzzy copy of the file?
Am I missing something?
Thanks, Andy.

Hi Andy,
what you prefer, does not exist .... There is a special AS/400 IFS online backup - but this is properitry and is not specially supported.
I would suggest to exclude the global directory /sapmnt/sid/global und /usr/sap/trans/tmp - as long as you backup the trans-dir this could always happen - even when FAR more rarely - because sometimes the other directories are needed as well.
I typically setup the systems that way, that the global directories are not included. In your case you should exclude trans/tmp as well ...

Pdf causes problem with opening files: help, please!

The operating system on my computer is Windows xp and I use Adobe version 11.0.6.
I am having a problem that arises when I get a warning message (particularly when opening pdf or xls files): "AcroRd32.exe - Application Error: The exception unknown software exception (Oxc0000409) occurred in the application at location 0x00411e0b". I am then unable to open most files - pdf, xls, Word etc. - until I switch the machine off and then on. I have discussed this problem with Microsoft, who eventually said that it seems to be caused by something related to Acrobat software.
I should be grateful for advice or help from any participant in this forum.
Many thanks in advance.

To test the automount hypothesis, you could create
a new user with a home directory someplace completely different and NFS-free, like /opt
useradd -m -d /opt/testuser -s /bin/bash testuser
passwd testuser
Then login to CDE as the user.
It does sound like there's something broken with $HOME/.dt
cheers

Problem with duplicate files being created

I'm having a problem with PSE7 copying files from my camera card to my computer.
It will copy over all new jpg files fine but once it gets to the NEF (RAW) files it will not only copy the new files from today but recopy all those NEF files from other days that are already downloaded so that I end up with files like this:
DSC_2200.NEF
DSC_2200-1.NEF
DSC_2200-2.NEF and so on. It's very annoying and I have to repeatedly delete all the duplicate files and this takes up time. I do use the global search function in Windows to delete them but would prefer they don't do this in the first place. They do eat up a lot of space.
I have the settings set to only copy over new files in PSE so why is it copying over older files? Does anyone have any clues?

You can set up a scan when you create a new device in System Preferences:
go to System Preferences --> FCSVR Pref pane --> Devices Pane and then choose create new device ("+" sign and the Device Assistant will appear. You choose the type and then you can set up a Full or Add only Scan here.)
Other option is to set up a Scan via the Administration window in the Java Client:
This is not as easy since there is no Device Assistant.
go to Admin window in Java Client --> Response and then create a new 'Scan' response on the device you want to scan. 'Scan Productions' is something different, maybe you want that instead, I don't know. Depending on how you set it up, it can create a Production in FCSVR catalogue for each folder or subfolder and that media will be scanned and placed into that Production in FCSVR catalogue.
Anyways, once you create the Scan Response, go to Admin pane --> Schedule. Create a new schedule and add the 'Scan' response you just created to the "Response List" section. Don't forget to check "Enabled"...can't tell you how many times I created the response but then forgot to enable it.
Once you scan the assets, they are in the FCSVR catalogue with clip proxies, thumbnails and posterframes. If you have existing FCP projects that use this media, you will want to make sure the media in the FCP project is connected to that same media that was scanned. When you upload the FCP project, it will not dup the assets, just add the FCP project to it, unless you didn't set the EIP device correctly. If you look in Search All Jobs, the only thing that should be generated at this point it Edit Proxies (if you enabled them) and Elements.
Now my question to you is the same as Chris' question here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9147105#9147105. How did you set things up so far? What is your workflow? Where is your media?

Latest Update Causes Problem with Creative Sound Card?

I installed the latest Quicktime update (7.3.1) and Windows Media Player would no longer work, giving me a message that my sound card (Creative Sound Blaster Audigy) was broken. I ran the sound card diagnostics and indeed it failed several of the the test (particularly wav files). I also tried streaming music via my XM radio subscription and that also did not work.
I reverted my system to its previous state (before the Quicktime update) with Norton GoBack, and now everything works again.
Anyone have a similar problem? Is this a bug or perhaps was there a glitch in the installation that caused this?
Thanks,
wasaguru

I'm not having that problem, but I am having a problem of my computer being locked up once it goes into sleep mode.

If I install the update to Adobe Reader 10, will that cause problems with Acrobat Pro 9?

Firefox (version 15.0.1) is telling me I need to install an update to Adobe Acrobat 9.4 in order to view pdf files in my browser. I use Acrobat Pro 9. The update is actually Adobe Reader 10, and I am wondering if I install this, will it cause problems with my version of Acrobat Pro?
Because I am not sure if this is so, I have temporarily disabled the plug-in and now pdf files download automatically rather than display in my browser. I would prefer they open in my browser but do not want to upgrade to Acrobat X.
My OS is Windows Vista. I did not include the "troubleshooting information" file because I'm not sure what specific info is being requested.
Thanks for any help.

Hi WMdotcom

Reduce folders in Windows 7 for pictures without causeing problems with PSE11

The only way to move files or folders/subfolders without causing problems, that is not creating 'missing files' is to do this from within the Organizer, not the OS (Win/Mac).
You can create folders and move pictures from the Organizer.
Note that if you are moving the files of several subfolders into a single one, you run the risk of wanting to move files with the same filename into the same folder ; your OS won't allow that. So the Organizer will rename pictures if needed.
If you want to do such a big reorganizing task, absolutely do a full backup before. There is no advantage for such a reorganizing from an Organizer point of view, but if you need it for some reason, it has to be done from within the organizer.

Problem with Offline Files with Cisco NSS322 (firmware 1.3)

Hi
We've recently bought a new NSS322 NAS box to replace an ageing Windows SBS 2003 file server. We've upgraded the firmware to 1.3, and begun moving files across from the Windows server to the new NAS box. However, we're having a problem with Offline Files on the NAS, as attempting to make directories available offline on Windows clients (only tried Vista Business 32-bit so far) we get loads of errors stating that these files cannot be made available offline "because they are in use" (or something like that).
Any suggestions as to why this might be? It doesn't appear to affect all files, but most of them.
I've read somewhere that the "allow oplocks" setting can affect this if disabled, but it is already enabled on the device, so this can't be the cause of the problem.
Any help you could provide would be much appreciated, as at the moment this issue is rendering our NAS unusable as we rely heavily on the offline files functionality.
Thanks in advance.
I have some more information - this appears to be related to the ownership permissions of the files on the NAS. New files created on the NAS can be made available offline, and have the ownership of the person who created the file, however, the files we moved across from the server are all listed as being owned by the user "guest" (I think this may be related to the fact that when we moved the files over, the user was logged in as "admin" rather than a user on the AD Domain). I should be able to resolve this through changing the owner of the files on the NAS, but I can't seem to do this, as I get an "access denied" error each time I try to change ownership.

Is there any chance someone's going to be able to help me with this? I've currently spent £500 on a box that I can't use. If it can't handle Offline Files satisfactorily, it's no use to us.
I've been looking at this a bit more - if appears that each user can make files they have created available offline, but files created by other people cannot - the error message that appears is: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".
I'm getting desperate here...can anyone help?

Sorry, but I don1 speak very good english..
I was Try this quick test: As a quick test, you can do a forward all and make sure you can get into the ftp server.
but result it is to same.
I think, that problem is in firmware, becasue I know more people who own this router with to same firmware version (2.0.1.3), and have they to same problem how I.
I have DISABLED FIREWALL on my router and problem hold over.
If I replace router Cisco Linksys WRVS4400N by Ovislink router or any other, issue (problem) already no is.
Configuration in Cisco Linksys WRVS4400N and configurations in any other router is to same, but FTP connection via Cisco Lynksys always will crash.
If I connect to any other FTP server, sometimes requieres from me ftp login and password. It is OK, but if I assign login and password, after connect me to this FTP server, i see folders and files on this server, but without reason connecting fall down.
Few seconds later if I connect to the to same FTP server, sometime either not request login and password and connection fall down.

My Mac book pro is 15 months old and now suddenly it has started resetting the date and time, causing problems with applications and my wireless access. Any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to fix it?

Seems the time isn't being saved to your computer correctly, it may be a corrupt file that isn't saving the time anymore.
You can move the
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
file out of your Users/Library/Preferences folder to the desktop and reboot.
then go to your System Preferences > Date and Time and set a time server close to your location (or in your time zone)
(trash the file on the desktop if no ill issues occur later on)
or you can follow/bookmark these support docs to reset your PRAM and SMC (and for future reference)

I don't remember exactly where OS X is keeping it time settings now, but I think one of those choices should help resolve your issue and won't hurt anything giving them a shot. Perhaps someone else could refresh my memory.

ACL messy duplicates causing problems with services

I have a network environment that is configured with open directory.
I have been having a persisting problem with on files on a shared drive that members of the open directory have been accessing/editing. The problem being that the permissions of that file (i.e. the ACLs) are all screwed up. The files can have multiple users and groups in the ACL (which is obviously ok) but each of those users and groups can repeat over 10 times in some circumstances.
The following is the result of a shell "ls -ale" of an offending directory:
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 johnsmith workgroup 554496 28 Mar 10:58 My-File.xls
0: user:johnsmith inherited allow write,delete,append,writeattr,writeextattr,chown

14: group:manager inherited allow read,write,execute,delete,append,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,re adsecurity
These files seem to affect services such as time machine running correctly and I would assume could also cause other issues.
I have tried stripping all ACLs from the devices and starting again... however the problem quickly returns.
Could somebody please shed some light on what may be happening and how I can fix it.

I personally haven't experienced much of the "reverberation/feedback" when using a headset on the i4S...
Yes, I have near-perfect hearing too (for scope, squeaky brakes hurt my ears) I come from many conversations on many phones and types and first off, CDMA technology is great for coverage, terrible for voice quality. HD Voice in Europe made for some of the best phone conversations I've ever had.
Back on track, feedback is most noticable (similar to the landline phone) when using the iPhone without a headset, but for me it's not an absolute criticality mainly because I use VoIP apps alot, so maybe it has desensitized me some over the past year.
But whenever I'm on a call, and the other person has me on speakerphone, I have alot of trouble talking because of the feedback loop caused. So the less of my voice I hear the better I can talk.
Have you tried a bluetooth headset yet?

Error: There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied

I've been trying to copy (and essentially move) the contents of an NTFS-formatted external HDD to my iMac's internal HDD so I can then format the external HDD to Mac OS Extended. However, when I simply try to drag and drop, I get an error during the transfer that states:
There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied.
I tried a basic cp command in Terminal to copy all contents of the external HDD to a folder on my iMac's desktop, and found that while there were no errors, there were many individual files missing full chunks of data (ie. original file would be 4GB on my external HDD, but only 350MB on my desktop).
Any ideas on how I can successfully copy a large amount of data (approx. 170GB) from my external HDD to my internal HDD while avoiding this error, so I can ultimately format my external HDD to Mac OS Extended? ANY help is greatly appreciated.

That's not a good error to see. It indicates something is very wrong. Pulled out of an old programming header file:
ioErr = -36, /*I/O error (bummers)*/
If Apple labelled it "bummers," they had a good reason! Unfortunately, that doesn't bode well for you.
Try running Disk Utility again. Keep repairing over and over until one of two things happens: 1) Disk Utility says no repair was needed, or 2) Disk Utility reports the same error in two sequential repair sessions and is unable to repair it both times.
If you hit the second case, or if you hit the first but still can't copy files, then you've got two basic options:
= Buy a third-party disk utility or two and try them. Try TechTool as a first choice.
= Recover what files you can and write the rest off as gone.
= Send your drive to a data recovery service and hope they can extract more than you can.
Of course, none of this is necessary if you have a backup of the contents of that hard drive. (If you don't, this is your learning experience. Once bitten, twice shy, so they say.) Also, regardless of the outcome, once you've got your data or have decided it's gone, you're going to want to wipe that drive completely clean. Reformat the drive with Disk Utility, then when it's done, select the drive in Disk Utility and hit command-i. (Don't select the new volume you just created on that drive, select the drive itself. Mine looks like "232.9 GB Hitachi ..." with the volume name indented underneath.) Look for an item that says S.M.A.R.T. Status, and if it doesn't say Verified, you might as well throw out the drive. Don't trust any more data to it.
If all appears safe, you can start moving data back onto it. But, as always, make sure you have a backup of everything!

Sir i have a problem with iphone its factory locked how to unlock

sir i have a problem with iphone its factory locked how to unlock

You have asked this question 3 times. Each time the answer being the same. ONLY, the original cellular provider can unlock the phone. However, if the phone has been previously hacked to provide unlocking, the fact that you have updated it has now re locked it. It is possible that it might never be ale to be properly unlocked.

we have a mac laptop and dont have any problems with pdf files but our imac will not open them. any suggestions?

Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
