Cannot Export Provisioning info using CSSImportExport Utility

Hi All,
I am actually trying to export the provisioning info from Production Server using CSSImportExport Utility while i am doing this i am getting an error and my export of provisioning info is failing. If i do the same in Development it is working perfectly allright without causing any issues. I am actually trying to see if anyone has faced with this kind of issue before and if yes could you please let me know how can i resolve this issue.
The application name it is showing in the Trace file is our planning application. This error is happening if i am trying to export provisionning info for any application(Essbase or Planning) and also it displays everytime the same error showing the same Planning application.
Please help me out in trying to resolve this issue so that i can have an backup of all provisonning info (hot back up).
Thanks in advance for looking into this issue and helping me out.

Thanks EW for responding. Please see the property file below and i am trying to export the provisioning info only for one planning application and my export of provisiionning is failing. And my importexport file is at the right location which is in exact place like in Dev environment. Please let me know if i am missing anything.
Thanks

  • Macbook Pro cannot configure AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility

    Hi all,
    I can't get my macbook pro's airport utility to connect to my airport extreme, and hard reset doesn't seem to work either. However, the airport extreme still functions properly... just doesn't allow me to reconfigure it.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open AirPort Utility.
    --> my AirPort Extreme router shows up with a green light (it's working).
    --> Information displayed includes "AirPort Utility found an AirPort Extreme with 802.11n (Gigabit Ethernet)", with correct-looking gateway and IP information (version 7.2.1)
    2. Click "Continue"
    --> Screen shows "Reading base station configuration..." with a little spinning icon.
    3. Wait 3 minutes.
    --> During this wait, the green light stays lit on the router, my wireless connection does not drop, and the icon next to "Reading base station configuration..." continues to spin.
    4. Popup dialog appears: "An error occurred while reading the configuration. Please make sure your AirPort base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753)". The AirPort extreme is sitting 2 feet from my MacBook Pro, connected only by wireless internet.
    At this point, I wonder whether hooking it up with an ethernet cable would work better. So I did the following:
    1. Turn off Macbook Pro Airport wireless card.
    2. Connect an ethernet cable from the laptop to the 2nd port of the Airport Extreme
    3. Wait 60 seconds for DHCP etc.
    4. Close the Airport Utility (from the last test)
    5. Open the Airport Utility again
    6. My Airport Extreme router is again displayed, the same information is present as before.
    7. Click Continue
    --> "Reading base station configuration..." message with spinning icon appears again.
    8. Wait 3 minutes. During this time, as before, the green light on the router stays lit, and nothing much seems to happen. I ran a "ping google.ca" from a terminal window just to verify that my internet stayed connected during this process, and the pings all responded fine.
    9. Again, an error popup: "An error occurred while reading the configuration. Please make sure your AirPort base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753)"
    At this point, I decided it might be a good idea to do a hard reset. I pressed and held down the tiny button on the back of the Airport Extreme for 6 seconds then released... no visible result. Green light still on. Then I tried for 11 seconds. Still no result, green light still on. I restarted the router, waited for the green light to come back on, and tried again with 6 seconds then 11 seconds again. STILL no result.
    I can't think of anything else to try. Any suggestions?

    The Windows "Airport Setup" version you need for the Airport Extreme N base station is not really available for download - but you can get it if you are up to following this procedure:
    1. download "AirPort Base Station Update 2007-002 for Windows" from Apple's web site
    2. use a Winzip utility to extract the contents of the file you downloaded (called Airport521update.exe) to another folder.
    3. the contents of that folder should include four files - applesoftwareupdate.msi, apsetup.msi, apsetupadmin.exe, and bonjour.msi
    4. go to All Programs -> Accessories. Right click on the "Command Prompt", select to "run as administrator", and click continue when Windows asks for your permission to run this command.
    5. in the command prompt window, type and execute the command
    msiexec /i pathto_folder_of_files_youdownloaded\apsetup.msi /qb ap50isinstalled=1
    This method simply forces the installer into thinking Airport 5.0 is already installed, thus letting the installer complete its job of installing a full working copy of the updated version.
    This procedure also installs Bonjour for Windows, which will simplify the task of configuring on the PC any printer connected to the Base Station.

  • My hard drive is damaged. I'm using disk utility; can I safely use CHECKSUM? will it help or give me info?

    my hard drive is damaged. I'm using disk utility; can I safely use CHECKSUM? will it help or give me info?

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Using Disc Utility to copy my hard drive to a brand new external drive and am having the error "Unable to create...(Cannot allocate memory)".

    I'm not very tech savvy but am trying my best to use Disc Utility to copy my hard drive to a brand new external drive and am having the error "Unable to create...(Cannot allocate memory)".
    Last night no problems, woke this morning and it was freezing so I forced a restart and got the grey screen with the folder and question mark. Ran off to best buy to get an external drive... Please help! Thank you!

    I have done both. When I hold down the "C" key it pauses for a few seconds while the cd spins and then the flashing folder icon appears.
    Could be you have the wrong cd/dvd.  The mac will only boot a supported cd/dvd for your machine. The flashing question mark indicdates your machine could not find a valid os.
    When I hold down the "option" key for the startup manager the cursor comes up and moves but the actually manager doesn't come up no matter how long I leave the laptop on.
    Not sure.  Could be your machine does not support the startup manager. You would think the machine would ignore the key.
    Where did you get the dvd?  What is the number on the DVD?
    What machine do you have anyway?

  • Burning info CD's using Disk Utility?

    Ok, I've got a combo drive (a few years old, on my iBook G3). I'm trying to burn information CDs using Disk Utility. I've got the dmg in disk utility, I select it and click burn. It then asks what speed I want to burn the disk at etc etc.
    So, I select the slowest setting (4x) avaible. After its been burning for about 2 minutes, it said the burn ended because it had no burn underrun protection.
    What is wrong?

    A little more detail info on burning a CD that is not Copy Protected.....
    Copy a CD that is not Copy Protected
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42724
    1. Launch Disk Utility at /Applications/Utilities.

    3. In the upper pane, click on the 1st lower level of the CD path...
    4. go to...Image>New... and select "Image from [disk/volume name]
    5. In the dialog window that appears..select or type.......
    • Name • location (desktop)
    • Encryption mode (disregard)
    • Image Format.(select DVD/CD master)
    6. Click "Save"
    Note. depending on your choice of image format...
    • Selecting DVD/CD NMaster... .cdr will be created
    • Selecting read-only or read/write.... dmg will be created.
    7. The image file will appear in the lower Pane.
    Note.... To checkout the steps so far....double-clicking on the image file will result in a disk image.(when you double-click on this, the contents will be revealed.
    Steps (1-7) creates a image file of the CD.
    8. Select the Image file that appears in the lower left Pane.
    9. Select Images>Burn or... "Burn" from the Toolbar.
    10. The CD drawer will open,remove the CD that you just copyed, insert blank CD and close drawer.
    11. Burn options:
    • Speed: Select a speed less than Maximum
    • Verify Burns: (yes)
    • Eject disc.. or .. Mount on desktop
    12. Click on "Burn" in lower part of dialog.(Burn will change to Append If the Cd was previously appended)

  • IPhoto '11- Cannot Export using "File Export"

    I just upgraded from iPhoto '09 to iPhoto '11. I imported photos off my iPod touch and edited them. After editing them however, I can't export them to anywhere on my computer. Even before editing I cannot export them.
    I've tried:
    -Creating a folder manually in Finder
    -Creating a folder in iPhoto during the export setup
    When it starts to export, it suddenly says it could not create the new folder, despite it already existing. It says it cannot export the photos to any folder either. I've repaired Permissions in iPhoto (as well as in Disk Utility).

    Hello All,
    I'm quit new with Mac.... and I am wondering hoe to export all my pictures to a Hard Drive that could easily be read where with Mac or Windows.
    I've tried the export option, but it just stops after some thousands pictures ( I have almost 13'000 photos). Any idea why this is happening? Is this because I have some .AVI files saved on my iPhoto events?
    This might be an issue with the format of your (external, I presume) hard drive. It would be worth trying exporting your files into several directories (folders). Perhaps try about 1000 in each directory.
    Can you pin down any particular file that causes iPhoto to stall? If so, is it particularly large, does it work OK in iPhoto, will it fit onto your disc etc?
    Regards.

    yeah, in itunes if you select your phone, you should get tabs across the top for what to sync, under photos uncheck the box
    EDIT: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 is the link to a apple support document with information on syncing photos using itunes.

    Barney-15E:

    If necessary, can start up from the 10.6.8 system which I downloaded to an external HD before updating.  I can always fall back on that.  Also, I hope I don't get too many disconnects.  Thank you for your help.

  • Cannot repair disk errors for OSX boot volume using Disk Utility while booted from different disk

    I have tried three times to repair my boot volume (OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard) permissions using Disk Utility while booted up on a different volume (running Snow Leopard 10.6.4).  After hours of Disk Utility reporting that it HAD fixed the problems, an immediate click of "Verify permissions" immediately results in the apparently same continuous stream of permission errors.

    Then better luck next time around. Here are some ideas for then:
    How to Install Lion Successfully - You must have Snow Leopard 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 Installed
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally. 
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.3.) if DW cannot fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the backup volume. Source means the internal startup volume.
    C. Important: Please read before installing:
    If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
    You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
    The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
    D. To upgrade to Lion:
    Purchase the Lion Installer from the Mac App Store. The download will start quickly. Lion is nearly 4 GBs so a fast internet connection is essential. Download time could run upwards of 4 hours depending upon network conditions and server demands at the time.
    Boot From The Lion Installer which is located in your Applications folder.
    Follow instructions for installation.
