"Broken Pipe" error while attempting execution of DMG file

Any help here? Tried to load two different programs, both gave same error message.

A .dmg file isn't "executable" or a program, it's a disk image that could contain anything from an executable to pictures or audio to an entire application. It sounds like it's a bad .dmg file.
What version of Mac OS X are you running? The latest 10.4.9 update added some checks for bad .dmg files, and you may be hitting those checks. This has been discussed in some Apple Knowledge Base articles and on sites such as http://www.macfixit.com and http://www.macintouch.com.

Broken Pipe Error-unable to write to socket for second attempt

Hello,
I am opening socket connection wuth C-server program.
I am able to write and read from socket for first time but when tried to write second time in the same sequence gives broken pipe error.
As seen in the code initialize() methods works perfectly fine,

if I were you I would put the lines
kkSocket.setSendBufferSize(1024);
kkSocket.setSoTimeout (10000);
kkSocket.setTcpNoDelay(true);
before connecting to the server, not after the initial message was sent.

Broken pipe error in plugin log

Hello All,
Any help will be much appreciated.
Currently we have a webserver and weblogic servers(two) in the same box. The webserver
is IPlanet and it communicates with weblogic(7.0 SP2) using the weblogic plug-in.
Normally the webserver connects to the first weblogic server and subsequent request
were sent to the same weblogic servers. While doing so, the plugin hits a broken
pipe error and it failover to the second weblogic server. We do not know the cause
of this problem as there is no broken pipe errors in the weblogic server logs.
I changed the weblogic & plugin configurations and did various tests using the
following configuratons, but no luck.
Weblogic plugin configurations:
1. HungServerRecoverSecs to 5000,
2. WLSocketTimeoutSecs to 5000
3. KeepAliveSecs="120" ( by default KeepAliveEnabled is true)
4. ConnectTimeoutSecs="120" along with ConnectRetrySecs=2 ( i.e. 60 connections
before it throws HTTP 503- Service Unavailable exception).
Weblogic server configurations:
1. Post Timeout Secs: 120(max)
2. T3 Message Timeout: 480(max)
3. HTTP Message Timeout: 480(max).
The plugin log file contents are below:

Hi Sudeep,
SAP Note 846079 - XI 3.0 JDBC Receiver: # of Retries on SQL Error w/o Effect
Please check the following SAP note also - 831162
Some info which i found there and can be relevant in to your scenario.....
Q: I am using a JDBC Receiver Adapter in conjunction with the Lotus Domino Driver for JDBC perform an INSERT or UPDATE operation on a database. When sending a message to the receiver, the Adapter Monitoring shows the following error message:
"java.sql.SQLException: [Lotus][Domino Driver for JDBC]Invalid cursor state"
Is there a fix for this issue?
A: To work around this JDBC driver problem, activate the Advanced Mode for the respective JDBC Receiver channel and configure the setting "Number of Retries of Database Transaction on SQL Error" to a value > 0. Additionally, make sure that the setting "Database Auto-Commit Enabled" is also active as the Lotus Domino Driver for JDBC does not support transactions.
Apply note 846079 before configuring this scenario.
Q: The TCP/IP connection to my database host is running over an unreliable network connection, i.e. the connection is sometimes interrupted. Consequently, I sporadically receive an SQLException regarding a closed connection in the system trace or audit log or the connection as well as the JDBC Adapter channel are hanging.
How can I work around this connectivity issue?
A: Enable the "Advanced Mode" for the respective JDBC Adapter channel and select the option "Disconnect from Database After Processing each Message".
Note that this might put additional load on your DBMS due to the creation of a new database connection for each message.
I dont have access to a database right now, so i am not able to check this.
Also check the JDBC driver compatability as mentioned in the above note.

What exactly is a broken pipe error is

Hi
we get often the exception
"java.io.IOException: Broken pipe" "java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe" and a few like these in our logfile. Not sure why it throws. Can anyone help me out in getting some idea about it.

The "*java.net.IOException: Broken pipe*" error comes due to following reasons:
1- If the client disconnects before it has completely received the response.
2- If the user hits the Stop button, or clicks another link while the previously clicked operation is in process.
Don't worry. This error is not dangerous.
The "*java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe*" error occurs due to following reasons.
1- If you invoke a connection when the other end has already terminated it.
2- If you have a poorly implemented application protocol.
3- If the database server closes the connection after a predefined interval if nothing has happened.
This is in fact an error due to your poor implementation.

Broken Pipe Error when using database link

We are using WebLogic 6.1 sp2 / oracle database 8.1.6. / thin drivers.
The connection works fine, unit I try to access a view that has a union and db links
in it.
We have used one or the other (view or a dblink) and it works, but when used together,
we get broken pipe error.
I haven't proven that this is the cause, I will try to setup a test, but I was wondering
if this is a known issue or what ??
thanks
Rich

You need to create the catalog views that support distributed SQL in your remote database (the database you connect to via db_link).
To create these views, connect "/ as sysdba" and run:
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catproc.sql
which will in turn call several other scripts including: $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catrpc.sql (which creates your missing view)
It is best to run the whole catproc.sql script (and not just the catrpc script).
You can run and rerun catproc.sql several times quite safely.
Cheers

Event ID 1012 - There was an error while attempting to read the local hosts file

When I start my Computer after it has been turned off overnight (switched off at the Power supply) I get a Blue screen and have to reboot the PC. in the Event log it has this error: Event ID 1012 - DNS client events - There was an error while attempting
to read the local hosts file.
Once the PC has booted evrything is O.K. I can restart the PC with no problems, it only seems to happen if the PC has been switched off for a while.
I am connected to the net via an Netgear dg834v4 Modem/Router
Windows 7 Ultimate

ATI 4680 !Gb Video Card

Thank you
jeepers01
After further Investigation it seems that this error is Not responsible for my Blue screening......I started my PC after leaving it off all night, and it started normally, but i still have this error in the Event Log - System.....I have searched the Technet
forums (and there is a lot of ID 1012 errors) but non relating to my problem....If anyone knows what is causing this error and how to fix it, i'd be Grateful....although it does not seem to affect the PC in any way that i can see.
thanks

Since Windows system uses separated user mode and kernel mode memory space, stop errors are always caused by kernel portion components, such as a third-party device drivers, backup software or anti-virus services (buggy services).
The system goes to a BSOD because there is some exceptions happened in the kernel (either the device driver errors or the service errors), and Windows implements this mechanism: When it detects some errors occur in the kernel, it will kill the box in case
some more severe damage happens. Then we get a blue screen or the system reboots (it depends on what the system settings are).
To troubleshoot this kind of kernel crash issue, we need to debug the crashed system dump. Unfortunately, debugging is beyond what we can do in the forum. A suggestion would be to contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) via telephone so that
a dedicated Support Professional can assist with your request. Please be advised that contacting phone support will be a charged call.
To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a look at the web site listed below:
Microsoft - Help and Support
If you are outside the US please see
Microsoft Worldwide Home for regional support phone numbers.
Meantime we can try some available steps as a general troubleshoot.
1. Please remove the antivirus and run the system with a period. If the issue does not occur, mainly focus on antivirus settings and compatibility.
2. Disable Automatic Restart and see detail information on the blue screen.
1).Click Start, in the Start Search box enter sysdm.cpl.
2).Click the tab Advanced. Under Startup and Recovery, click the Settings button.
3). Uncheck “Automatically restart”.
4). On the drop-down menu “Write debugging information”, choose “Small memory dump”.
5). Click OK.
When Blue Screen displays, you may find some useful information.

Get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus -identity DBNAME | fl gives errors "The Microsoft Exchange Replication service encountered an error while attempting to start a replication instance for". DB is mounted and the DB copies are in healthy status.

We are getting a SCOM alert " Database copy isn''''t keeping up with the changes on the active database copy and has failed."
When we go to the mailbox server and check we found all the Mailbox DB's are mounted properly and their copies are in healthy state. Further digging to this problem we found that there are no critical events to this DB in the eventviewer.
When we runt he get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus -identity DBNAME | Fl then in the ErrorMessage section we get error "The Microsoft Exchange Replication service encountered an error while attempting to start a replication instance for . If the copy doesn't
recover automatically, administrator intervention may be necessary. Error: The directory is not empty."
ErrorEventID : 4126
In the event viewer we get a Information event 4114 saying the DB redundancy health check passed and in the details section we get the same error message mentioned above.
Also we observed that the "MSExchange Replication" counter "Failed" is set to 1 for this perticular DB but is is set to 0 for the other DB's. Tried restarting the MSEXChange replication service but still the "Failed" counter
is 1 and the SCOM alert is still active.
The version is Exchange 2010 SP3 UR5
Any clues???

Hi,
From your description, this issue only affect one mailbox datatabase.
Please use the Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy command to check result.
If it doesn't work, please dismount your active database copy and check if this is Clean Shutdown, if it's dirty shutdown, please bring to clean shutdown and mount this database copy. Then run the Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy command again to check result.

Bouncing Oracle Database Creating Broken Pipe Error On Oracle 9iAS 9.0.3

We published and deployed PL/SQL web services using JDeveloper 9.0.3 wizard on Oracle 9iAS 9.0.3. We bounced the database nightly, in turn, closes the application server connection between 9iAS and the database. This causes the broken pipe error. Bouncing the 9iAS is not an option for us.
Is this an Oracle 9iAS bug? Is there a workaround to this problem without bouncing the application server?
Please help.

Has this worked before, or is this a new configuration?
On the server, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and post the output of the following harmless diagnostic command — and you'll need to enter an administrative password when requested:

On the OS X (presumably) Mavericks client, please post the IP address(es) of the DNS server(s) you're referencing. These are available via the System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS settings.
To check the console logs, launch Console.app from Applications > Utilities on both the client and the server, and then attempt the binding, and then post a (short! no more than ~25 to 50 lines!) of any errors related to the binding error.
If you're not in a position to post configuration details here — which is perfectly reasonable, and entirely your prerogative — or if I'm getting too confusing or too technical with some of the questions here, which would be my error of course — then (assuming these systems are under warranty) I'd suggest contacting the folks at the local Apple Store and having a chat with the local Geniuses about this, or checking directly with the Apple Support folks via telephone.
