CF9 installer hangs on import wizard

I'm working on a windows box installing CF9. The import wizard is hanging on "Import Settings". It just sits there. Whats worse, when I try to access the CF admin all it brings up is the same wizard! Is there a known way to bypass/fix this issue?
Thanks!

A restart of the box worked
First rule of computing: restart 3 times and rub cheetah blood on it.

BI 7.0 Java Add-on installation hangs

Hi Guru's
While doing upgrade of BW 3.5 (Netweaver 2004) to BI 7.0 (Netweaver 2004s) during Java Add-on installation at "Database Instance Java Add-in" phase the installation hang on "Import Java dump" phase.
I have tried to kill and restart the installation 2-3 times and restarting the complete installation once again it stops at the same phase. Kindly let me know what can be the reason because we have not face this issue in DEV and QA environment. It is my production server.
The environment is HP-UX IA64 with oracle 10g.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rajesh,
What stage is the installation hanging at ?
Please provide any error info from sapinst_dev.log
Check if java engine is installed and is up and running or not.. You could check the j2ee work directory under which you find j2ee stack related traces.
e.g. check std_server0 to see if the server is up or not
Please send more details

Import wizard has been importing for 2 hours what should I do ?

Just downloaded latest version of Firefox for windows. Trying to complete installation but the Import Wizard has been Importing for over 2 hours and is still importing... what should I do so I can complete installation. ...Please advise...and Thank you

Is that about importing IE favorites?
If there are problems with importing IE Favorites or bookmarks from another browser in Firefox then export the favorites to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
*Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export
*Import the HTML file in Firefox:<br>Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML
See "Import from another browser" and "Import from file":

Import wizard has hanged for an hour; browser doesn't start

1. I am trying to install Firefox. For the past hour it has been hanged at this point:
Import Wizard
Importing...
The following items are currently being imported...
Internet Options
Cookies
Browsing History
Favorites
[<Back][Next>][Cancel]
All 3 buttons are grayed out, disabled.
2. Internet Explorer is still working even though Firefox already set Firefox to be my default browser.
In Internet Explorer I tried to view http://www.mozilla.org
But Mozilla's site redirected Internet Explorer to http://www.mozilla.jp
At the bottom of http://www.mozilla.jp, I clicked on words "mozilla.org (グローバルサイト)".
Those words are a link to http://www.mozilla.org
But Mozilla's site redirected Internet Explorer to http://www.mozilla.jp
Now I'm stuck in an infinite loop too.
Every time I click on "mozilla.org (グローバルサイト)",
it repeatedly displays http://www.mozilla.jp with words at the bottom "mozilla.org (グローバルサイト)".
3. Meanwhile, the Import Wizard is still hanged, and I still can't open Firefox as a browser.
4. By the way, the reason Firefox is trying to install in English is that
a Google search for firefox showed site http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
and http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ did not redirect to mozilla.jp
5. Meanwhile, the Import Wizard is still hanged, and I still can't open Firefox as a browser.
The OS is Windows 7 SP1 64-bit Japanese with all Windows Updates except that
Internet Explorer is version 10 because Internet Explorer 11 breaks Outlook 2003.

As previously stated:
So in summary, not much damage has been done, but the hang of the original Import Wizard is not solved.
When the original Import Wizard hanged during installation, there was a Firefox icon on the desktop but double-clicking the icon did not start Firefox because there was already a firefox.exe process (the hanging installer) so it would not even be possible to do the procedure of "import from another browser". I did not know that it was hanging on favorites. In fact I think it was not hanging on favorites, it was probably hanging on history and it was hanging on abusing my Outlook.pst file because Outlook couldn't even run. I think it didn't reach the stage of importing favorites because that would come later than the hang of importing history.
But at the time, I didn't know what it was hanging on, it was just hanging there for an hour with the Cancel button grayed out (together with two other grayed out buttons). I thought I was going to have to use Windows Task Manager to kill the installer and then uninstall whatever amount of Firefox had been installed. But I tried the [X] in the upper right corner and it did work more or less, even though the Cancel button didn't.
The original problem is not solved.
Also the abuse of Outlook.pst is not solved. Why would Firefox (not Thunderbird) prevent Outlook from accessing Outlook.pst?
I do know that everyone's a volunteer and I can't complain the way I complain about Microsoft, but I can still say accurately that the problem is not solved. If you don't want to solve it then mark it WONTFIX, but don't pretend that you solved it.

Live office Import wizard Hangs

Hi all, I have searched a lot on google and this forum too, however i am not able to solve my problem..
Problem: Whenever i click on any webi from webi list in Liveoffice import wizard, wizard hangs for few minutes and then gives some error . most of the times LO 99999. I have reinstalled LO, Xcelsius but nothing is helping........i am not able to import any object in my spreadsheet.
if any one have faced same problem pls hlp me.

Hi Sambhavjain,
I saw something similar with a customer who had upgraded from SP3 to SP4 and this issue was introduced.
It seems to be a regression with SP4, or it is caused by the upgrade maybe affecting the war file deployment.
This is also another possibility, in which case you could try redeploying the war files - that may help.
If the problem persists following those steps, then I would advise that you trace the workflow and perhaps raise an SAP Support message so a Live Office engineer can investigate further.
I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.
Kind regards,
John

CF 9 import wizard failed

The error is "
Server Monitoring And API is not available in this edition of ColdFusion server." I can't get to CF9 admin now without it trying to run the import wizard, which failed with the above message. How can I turn off the import wizard so that I can continue?

I ran into the same error trying to install CF9 Standard upgrade onto a machine that was running CF8 Standard. While I was able to get the configuration wizard to go away and give me the Administrator, like you, none of my datasources or other settings had carried over. However, I was able to get everything manually imported. I posted what I did to get everything imported over at my blog:
http://blog.pelcosolutions.com/2009/10/coldfusion-9-installer-woes-part-two.html
Sorry about posting a link, but I am tired and don't feel like retyping the "fix" again!

BO XI 3.1 FP 3.4 : Import wizard gives error when trying to import users

Hi all,
I tried to import BO users from backup repo to production repo using the import wizard.
The import failed with message
Committing the export object to the destination CMS failed. Reason: Fehler beim Senden der Objekte an Server:
Fehler beim Erstellen.
However, all other objects (universes, public folders, public reports, ...) become imported without any problem
Env:
server platform : AIX 5.3
database : DB2 V 9.5
BO version : 3.1 SP3 (12.3.0) client and 3.1 FP 3.4 (12.3.4) server
Since source and destination versions are the same, problems with version migration are unlikely.
Studying other forum threads, gave indication that there are problems if the license type (concurrent use vs. named user) are different. This is not the case - both system user named user licenses.
Does somebody have an idea on how resolve this problem?
Thanks,
Robert

Hi Dennis,
I tried to update the clients but that didn't work. The installer found a patch with newer date and refused to continue. Trying to get rid of that problem, I removed the client software and re-installed it afterwards - but this problem with the newer patch remained.
I opened a case @ BO support to investigate this problem.
Thanks,
Robert

Creative MediaSource Organizer hangs while importing tracks to PC Music Libr

I purchased a NOMAD Jukebox Zen 60GB sometime ago and I finally got into putting my music into it. I downloaded and installed Creative Media Source version 2.03.29. I have all my music files in a folder in my roommates desktop computer available on our home network, because my laptop hard dri've is not big enough to store all files. I click on the Import button and select Import Tracks, and the Creative Import Wizard dialog pops up. I select the mapped network dri've where all my music files are and click Add Folder, and the wizard correctly finds all my music files and lists them on the list on the right side.
First time I tried this, I tried importing all my music which meant it would add 000 files. I clicked Continue and the wizard displayed "Gathering files info and checking file existence in PC Mucis Library..." with the progress bar moving a little. The farthest the progress bar got to was under the th of the "Gathering..." Since I think I have a lot of music files, I waited for about 5 hours but the progress bar did not move further. I checked the task manager, the Applications tab said Creative Import was Running, and the Process tab indicated that the CTImport.exe process was using 98% CPU. I tried other times importing less music (5000 files, 000 files, as low as 500 files), and the progress bar seemed to move a little further with lower number of files, but I was still feel I waited longer than I should have and the process did not finish (I think I waited half-hour to an hour for 500 files). My laptop is not slow or very old, I use video conferencing applications and etc without a problem. Is this a known issue, any suggestions on how I can load my music to my PC Library to download to my jukebox player?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Thanks everyone for the replies. Allow me to add more information and make some more comments. I did try doing in batches. The?smallest number of songs I had tried was 500 and that seemed to?hang. I then tried 250?and that?worked at first. I got all excited, I would do them all 250 at a time if necessary, but when I tried importing the next 250 files?it got "stuck". Probably in the same place that it did when I tried 500 together.
This might suggest a corrupt tag/file. See if you can narrow down where it is and then analyse the file with something like MP3 Library.
But SSR suggestion made me realize that I can add the track/files without using the import feature, by just dragging and droping from My Computer mapped dri've. It looks like I can add the files to the PC Music Library or the MP3 directly by drag and drop. I was hoping to use the PC Music Library first, so that I could fix files that are not tagged properly, rate some music,?set the Genre (I have a lot of foreign music, so I could differentiate them by nationality in the Genre), etc and them I could also use when transferring to my memory based/jogging mp3 player as well. But it looks like I might be able to fix the tags directly on the player as well (I have a feeling this might be slower, take more time). I can drag single items (I'll do one by one if that's what it takes), but I saw that I can also drag multiple items (so that will cut down manual labor). I just hope that it won't get stuck once I get close to droping the 500th item. I didn't get a chance to try because I had to come to work, I'll try later and let everyone know.
Don't edit the files on the player. If you copy the files back to the PC the changes will be lost unless you use a special update feature in MediaSource 3.

Installation hangs at 72% during Weblogic server 9.2 installation

I had already Weblogic portal server in my machine working fine. 3 days back when I opened workshop, it said "Could not create Java Virtual Machine" and was not starting. After that I reduced xms and xmx values in workshop.ini file and it worked but it gave other problems like outofmemory. So, I uninstalled that.
And When I tried to reinstall the Weblogic portal 9.2, installation went till 72% and when it turned to "Creating Sample Domains..." it got hang. I couldn't install it at all. Can someone please explain why it happened and how to resolve it? First of all I could not understand why suddenly it said "Could not create Java Virtual Machine"???????
I have Windows Xp Service pack 2 with 3 GB of RAM memory and 7 GB free space in C drive.

Dear Senthil,
It seems your RAM is getting utilized by some other processes on your machine , Check all of them as you have enough RAM required by WLS. Also for next installation , delete all the files created by earlier installation .
Also importantly unset the environment variables got set by earlier WLS installation.

Hello
The following solution may work for u.
You may receive the above error message if BusinessObjects Enterprise tries to access database after the associated RSS file has been deleted or corrupted.You need to replace the deleted or corrupted RSS file with a clean copy of the file, either from another BusinessObjects Enterprise installation

CMS Administrator Import Wizard Help

Is there a way to grant privileges/permissions to a user so that the user can use the import wizard to migrate objects, LOV, reports with dynamic cascading parameters, etc? I am the administrator and one of our agencies is looking to use our enterprise servers, but they want/need to be able to use the import wizard without having access to other agency's objects.

Bill,
You can find the various guides at
http://help.sap.com/content/bobj/overview/index.htm
Select Business Objects Enterprise in the first dropdown and Business Objects Enterprise 3 in the second and you should find the installation and admin guides.

Tony

Cannot open "data import wizard" in DTW

Good Afternoon B1 Experts,
I have prepared BP data to import from DTW, however, after I logged into DTW and clicked on the Import button, it did not have any response and the Data Import Wizard screen did not open. Has anybody encountered the same problem? When I clicked on Log FIles button, it worked fine and a screen popped up.
I am wondering if re-installation would help solve the problem above (Would prefer not to because our SAP B1 is installed on the Regional Head Office's server and it would be quite troublesome to reinstall DTW again)
Thanks and I appreciate your time in providing a response.
Sunny

Good Morning Gordon,
The current version that we are using is 2007A (8.00.180) SP:00 PL:45
Although it is the first time that I am using DTW, our US branch have used DTW last year to import data to their company file before and they had no such issue. So it seems I am the only user that is getting the problem right now (new problem perhaps?).

HANA Studio Freezes in File Import Wizard

Hello everyone,
I'm running HANA Studio version 1.0.68, and can't get it to import any file at all. The application just freezes after clicking the Next button in the File Import Wizard after filling up the form. I've tried even simple CSV files with a few rows without success, and importing into an existing table or a new one with identical results. After closing studio I see a java error (see the screenshot below.
Any help is appreciated
Regards
Ricardo Sada

Hi Ricardo,
You can try these things
1) Try setting the value of the file as for the Xms as 512m in your hdbstudio.ini file, which will be present in your Studio installation location.
2) Check for the location of JAVA.EXE ( Kill any JAVAW.EXE in your task manager and restart the studio)
C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
512m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.appendVmargs
-vmargs
-Xmx1024m
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
-Xms256m
-XX:MaxPermSize=512m
3) Chekc of the Jre path in the system environment variabled and if they are pointing to 32 bit or 64 bit Java installation

BW Publisher + Lifecycle Manager + Import Wizard Repository Objects

Hi,
I would like to ask advice about moving reports from a for example a QA to Production enviornment.
BW 3.5, BOXI 3.1 (SP1 currently / possibly SP2 )
I have reports which have been published using BW Publisher which have Parameters populated by BW.
I have other reports which have parameters which are populated by Business Views.
I have reports which are a combination of BW Queries and a Universe built upon a SQL server 2008 Database.
I have tried publishing the Report using the (NON SAP) Universe via BW Publisher and I get an error.
Also I realise that the BW publisher will not move the Business Views Repository Objects and NON SAP Universe to the Production Enviornment.
What is your suggestion regarding moving these reports?
I can only think that some reports will be moved using BW Publisher and others using the LIfeCycle Manager.
Am I correct in assuming that LCM will not move BW Published reports to the new Business Objects Installation correctly (because they will point to the BW Server which originally published them. Can the Schedule Manager perhaps not take care of this for me?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Nicole

Thank you all for your replies
I have other reports which have parameters which are populated by Business Views.
<h5> I had issues moving these with LCM and even the Import wizard which I eventually only resloved by Moving the Business Views and LOVs using Business View Manager Import and Export wizard - I still had to map LOV to the objects within the existing business views but got them working!
The reports (even the ones using business views) ran correctly (except for Parameters - see below) after transporting using the BW Publisher and Content Administration Workbench</h5>
I have reports which are a combination of BW Queries and a Universe built upon a SQL server 2008 Database.
<h5> Have not tested yet but managed to transport using SAP Transport </h5>
I have reports which have been published using BW Publisher which have Parameters populated by BW.
<h5>Ironically here is where I have an issue
I am having an issue with Report Parameters:
Dev Server: BW publisher / Infoview populates Parameters LOV at run time.
QA Server: only static parameters are shown.
Both servers should have identical software BOE 3.1 and SAP Integration Kit 3.1
Both Servers have BW Publisher configured and I am publishing from the Content Administrator Workbench.
The only difference I can think of in Terms of the servers is that Reports were published to DEV using SAP Menu in Crystal Reports and on QA I transported the Reports from DEV and THEN published them in QA.
Authorizations are also different u2013 in DEV I have Sap_All and in Dev I have a role.</h5>
I was also having issues getting "My Groups" to appear in Infoview but this is resloved and I believe was due to authorisations and roles - not having the correct one.
I am installing SP2 on a 3rd server to test if the issue would be resolved.
Tell me does BW require a different transport to communicate with a BOE server installed with SP2?
Kind Regards,
Nicole
