ChaRM: Internal Phase Controller Problem

Hi Team,
I am working in Sol Man ChaRM. My scenario is as below:
We would like to create two maintenance projects one for nomal corrections (SDMJ) & another for SDHF corrections.
I have successfully created one mainteance project for SDHF corrections (Activated ChaRM check box) in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN.
I am trying to create one more maintenace project to handle normal corrections (SDMJ) in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN. Both two projects uses same logical components. When i try to activate the check box "Activate ChaRM" in the second project, i am getting below error.
Internal Phase Controller Problem
Message no. /TMWFLOW/TASKLIST176
Diagnosis
The system was unable to generte the task list due to an internal error in the phase controller.

  • Custom tasklist variant - Phase Controller Internal Problem

    Hello,
    I am trying to work with a custom tasklist variant. For that I have created a ZSAP0 variant, and copied all tasks for H*** tasklist (cannot use the Urg* word, forbidden by the guidelines) and Maintenance Cycle. I did not put anything custom yet, I just want to have the custom variant working first.
    I then create a maintenance project, assign a logical component and all that, as usual. Then, when creating the tasklist, I get the "Phase Controller Internal Problem" message. The task list is created but not active, and no service transaction is created.
    I think maybe the link between the tasklist variant and the transaction type SDMN is not done, but I have no idea where this should be done, I cannot find anything about this in the IMG.
    Would someone know that? Or have any other idea about why this is not working?
    Thanks in advance.

  • CHARM create a own Phase  Controller

    Hello ,
    I have question to the phase controller of CHARM . How can I create my own phase controller and my own phases ?
    I found this tables :
        /TMWFLOW/TPCPVAA -> actions mapping to phase
         /TMWFLOW/TPPHMCV -> phase controllers
    But I found no customizing entry in the img
    Have someone any information to this ?
    Regards
    Daniel Rothmund

    Hello Daniel,
    I'm really new in Solution Manager world, but we want exactly the same type of modifications, authorize for some phase actions that are not allowed.
    What I see is note : 986524 (old note but in this note you have access to actions list of a phase model).
                                    939726 is another note explaining how to add action to model phase.
    I check a little bit SAP coding and I suppose that function module used to check authorize action is /TMWFLOW/PHCNTRL_CHCK_COOP_ACT
    This function module is used into CHECK_ACTION_IN_PHASE method of class CL_SOCM_INSTANCE (SE24 transaction).
    SAP is not really clear about how-to add specific action but in customizing point Actions in Change request Management under extended configuration of ChaRM there is a point Implement BAdI Extension that could be usefull.
    Hope it could help. If you have some information, I'm interested.

  • T41 has Network Controller problem

    I was given a T41 2373-7JU that I loaded with XP Pro. My problem is it will not  connect to the internet via it's browser. In Device Manager it shows a Network Controller problem and I've been unable to correct this no matter how many different drivers I've tried. Also, how do I tell if there's an internal  wireless card inside?  It did connect to the internet earlier today using my USB adaptor but now I can't even do that anymore. I've tried a dozen or so solutions without any success so where should I go from here?

    Hi and welcome to the forum!
    Following are the drivers you need for Ethernet and wifi card (and yes, as per support page there's an internal card installed in your system):-
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-62922
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-42683
    To install the drivers successfully, you need to run the .exe setups from C:\Drivers.... for each device after the first setup completes.
    For ethernet, the setup is in C:\DRIVERS\Win\ETHERNET\PRO1000\Win32 and for wifi C:\DRIVERS\WLLANCSC.
    Hope this helps.

  • "Internal module error" PROBLEM SOLVED ! ! !

    At least in my case.
    I tried to update my phone (Nokia E50, prod. code: 0536382) with NSU, but I always got the frustrating "Internal module error" message. I spent a whole afternoon trying. After several attempts without any success I accidentally discovered the solution. When the error message appeared again, I noticed, that the small USB icon right below the battery level indicator is gone - so is the connection. How to restore the connection? The NSU says, you should not disconnect the phone, so why the connection interrupts during the update? (I suppose that NSU does the download first and in the meantime nothing happens to your phone. During the download your PC may shut down the USB port to save power. When the download from the internet is done, NSU tries to upload the software to the phone, but there is no connection anymore.) After digging deeply through the Device Manager of my PC, I found an option that turns the USB port off after a while, to save power. That is where the connection goes away.
    So, do the following:
    1. Go to Device Manager;
    2. Under Universal Serial Bus controllers find the USB Root Hub your phone is connected to (assuming you use a USB cable to connect);
    3. Double click it and then go to the Power Management tab;
    4. Uncheck the option "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power."
    5. Disconnect the phone, reconnect and proceed with NSU.
    You should be able to update the phone successfully.
    Good luck!

    So far the "Internal module error" problem seems to be connection related.
    Make sure, you have the Nokia Cable Connectivity Cable driver installed (the later the version the better), if you are using a cable. You may check it out in the Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs.
    You also make sure you enter the right Product Code when asked. The following link may help you clarify the fog around the firmware version number:
    http://www.noeman.org/gsm/showthread.php?p=104254
    It seems there are several versions. Check out the differences and upgrade only if you need it.
    As for the USB, in Device Manager got to Universal Serial Bus controllers, and double click every USB Root Hub. On the Power tab you may see the all the devices connected to the specific USB port. Let me know, if you find something out. Cheers.

    I've been having this problem too and unfortunately your suggestion didn't work, neither does hooking it up to my computer and trying to back up through iTunes!  I think Apple need to look into why this issue keeps happening to people but it seems impossible to get any proper Apple support unless you are willing to pay extra.

  • E52 internal GPS fix problem only with OVI Maps

    Hi all,
    I read many many E52 phones suffer Internal GPS fix problems.
    I don't beleve this is an hardware problem, but only a software bug.
    My experiments say this:
    1) Start phone, start Ovi Maps -> No lock at all. (only 1 blinking line in bottom left corner)
    2) Start phone, start McGuider (Sygic) navigator -> E52 locks quite immedeately. (in the same place!!)
    3) After GPS is locked, start Ovi Maps again. Now also Maps works great!
    4) Also the gps built-in application under Menu->Applications->GPS->GPS Data has the same behaviour as Ovi Maps.
    Anyone can try and report this or similar experience?
    Thank you!

    Thank you for the response.
    I'm sure the fix is faster if i use A-GPS, but i i have to pay for data connection.
    And, above all, Sygic works perfectly WITHOUT A-GPS, so why Ovi Maps does not?
    Yes, you have to pay, but the connection takes about 20sec. About Sygic you're right I noticed that too. It locks pretty fast.

  • RIM Twitter for BlackBerry Internal Twitter server problem error message

    I have had this issue previously, it went away and now it's back; and can I remember how I fixed it... no.
    I have a Bold 9700 running 5.0.0.680 and Twitter for Blackberry 1.0.1.7
    Since updating to 5.0.0.680 I have been unable to login to Twitter via RIM's Twitter application. I receive the error message "Internal Twitter server problem."
    I have tried the following to resolve;
    Multiple battery pulls - no change
    Flash back to 5.0.0.586 - no change
    Flash back to 5.0.0.442 - no change
    After flashing I have performed a full security wipe of the device to be sure its clean.
    I am able to use UberTwitter and other social networking applications without any issues.
    My BlackBerry is controlled via my companies BES. The Server version is 5.0.1 and I can confirm that the Value-added application policy is installed and has 'Disable organizer data access for social networking applications' set to No and 'Disable RIM Value-Added Applications' set to No for the policy applied to my device.
    I am also one of the Administrators of this server.
    What I would like to know is how to solve this issue. A search of the internet revels a number of similar issues, but these where apparently down to an issue with Twitter not the software. As I am able to access Twitter with no issues via other clients and see no issues reported on the status feed from Twitter I have run out of ideas.
    I have also fired up a number of the BB simulators on a development machine and have been able to access Twitter via a simulated BlackBerry without an issues; making me think this is either a BES, device, or carrier issue.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mark

    Hey Mark,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Are you still having trouble connecting to Twitter for BlackBerry?
    Since you're on a BES just to do process of elimination, I would suggest performing a reset to factory so that will remove the IT policy.  Follow the instructions in this KB article: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB18998
    Then test out logging into Twitter, if successful then we know it is it policy related.  If you still receive the same error, let me know.

  • Will Apple stores in Germany replace your iPhone if there is internal hard drive problems from a phone from the US. I am studying abroad and won't be home until December

    Will Apple stores in Germany replace your iPhone if there is internal hard drive problems from a phone from the US. I am studying abroad and won't be home until December

    You can try, but the iPhone warranty terms state that Apple "may" restrict warranty/service to country of original purchase...key word here is "may".
    Good luck.

  • (865PE Neo2) - Memory Controller Problems ???

    Hi, I've been having problems with my RAM. I've run MEMTEST and found that my RAM continually failed test #5 (64 Block move). However, I pulled the RAM and tested in a friend's computer..... and it passed without any problems..... I went back to my computer and continually changed the BIOS setting until I finally got something to work....
    What I did, was change the DRAM Freq from 400 down to 333. And it seems to be stable..... (The RAM was meant to run at 400)
    The people at Corsair offered to replace the RAM, however, because both sticks produce them same problem, and because it works at 333 but not 400, and because it fails test #5 and not any other test, then they think the problem lies somewhere other then the RAM. And at the stage, i tend to agree.....
    Now someone suggested it might be the Memory Controller..... I have no idea what that means..... but it sounds plausable.... Eitherway, I believe it might have something to do with the Motherboard..... And I was hoping someone here might have an idea on how I can either test it, or fix it.....
    Thanks a bunch.....
    My SYSTEM Specs are.....
    MoBo : MSI 865PE Neo2-P (MS 6728 ver.2)

    Hi,
    I've tried the RAM sticks individually, as well as 1,3 and 2,4..... And it doesn't make a difference.
    I've aslo Disabled Spread Spectrum
    And I've also tried all these setting, plus more.... @400Mhz

    3-3-3-7
    3-3-3-8
    all without success..... And what i mean, is that I still get error#5 in memtest. And ALWAYS the error occures in the 92%-96% portion of the test.....
    HOWEVER, When I drop the DRAM Freq to 333.... No problem..... All is fine..... Even at 2-3-3-6
    Unfortunately, I doubt I will be able to test any other DDR400 memory in my system, but it would be interesting to know the results.....
    I also find marginal confort knowing this problem is a bit 'common', however, i would find MORE comfort solving the problem :-)
    Thanks :-)

  • Internal Hard Drive Problems

    Ok, here's the deal.
    I have a macbook pro. Its a 2.16 that I bought back in the beginning of 2006. I am currently running Snow Leopard on it. I have used up pretty much all the space on my 120 gig hard drive. I decided it was time to get a new hard drive. I got the 640GB Western Digital "Scorpio Blue" one off of newegg. The model number is WD6400BEVT. First, I transferred my entire hard drive onto an external hd (My Book) using a program called Carbon Copy Cloner. It took a couple of hours to transfer everything, but no big deal, it got done.
    Next, I took my laptop apart and installed the new hard drive. I re-hooked up everything and I also plugged in the external hard drive so I could boot directly from it. I turned on my laptop and booted from the external drive. Everything worked fine and the computer recognized the new 640GB hd. I then used Carbon Copy Cloner to get everything from the external onto the new hard drive I had just installed. I shut down my laptop.
    I then unhooked my external hd and tried to boot like normal using the internal hd. While holding the "option" button, I wasn't able to boot from, or even see my internal hd. I tried turning the laptop on and off a couple times hoping that it would give me options and it didn't. I then tried plugging in my external so I could boot from that hd, but when I turned on my computer, it didn't give me any boot options. Didn't recognize my internal or external hd.
    I was confused and thought that maybe a connection was loose or something, so I took the whole thing apart again and put it back together. Same result. My buddy was over helping me with everything, and he has a newer macbook pro (not sure on the year, but it had the black keypad and the hatch on the bottom that reveals the battery and the hd so you don't have to tear apart the entire computer to get to the hd). We decided to install the new 640gb internal hd into his computer to try it. After it was installed, we turned on the laptop (his) and booted from the internal hd we had just installed in it. It worked just fine and my desktop and all my files and such showed up on his screen. This was bittersweet, because (in our minds) that meant that the hard drive was working just fine and the copying program had worked how it was supposed to, but it also angered us because we couldn't get it to work in my macbook pro.
    We attempted again to install the new hd into my laptop and got the same result that was making us mad earlier, no boot options, just a light white screen. I thought maybe it was the screen connection the entire time, but you could see and use the mouse, there was just nothing to click on.
    I told my roommate of this problem and he thought that maybe this laptop just can't handle a SATA 3.0, and my laptop originally came with a 1.5 SATA hd (I believe?) This might explain why it worked on my buddy's newer macbook pro and not on mine, but I'm not sure. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for the update with extra information, It_crabby,
    (My suggestion wasn't that your problem wasn't the same, but rather that without additional information it was impossible to know - we see many, many people who think they have the same issue as someone else, only to find out later that their circumstances are substantially different. Without the excellent additional material you subsequently provided it was impossible to know if this was the case with you. There are lots of reasons why one or another HD may not work.)
    The HP Launcher "ghost" is interesting. This usually appears with disks that have previously been fitted in an Hewlett Packard external drive enclosure and relates to HP's "Simple Save" processes. Perhaps yours is one that was originally intended for this purpose that got diverted because of the arrival of a new model or somesuch. The vendor may be able to tell you.
    I wouldn't be at all surprised if it is the cause of your particular problem and I'm afraid it may not be possible to actually overcome it.
    It is easy enough to "hide" it when the disk is used as an external, non-boot, drive on a Mac - from a web post that is now no longer there:
    +1) Go to Applications+
    +2) Click on Utilities+
    +3) Open AppleScript Editor+
    +4) Copy and past this coding+
    +tell application "Finder"+
    +if exists "HP Launcher" then+
    +do shell script "diskutil unmount /Volumes/HP\\ Launcher/"+
    +end if+
    +end tell+
    +5) Save as an application. -use whatever name you wish, such as "HPUnmount"+
    +6) Go to System Preferences...+
    +7) Click on accounts+
    +8) Click Login Items+
    +9) Click the Plus sign to add an application, then select the file you created.+
    The trouble is this that this approach will only work once you have got the normal boot process well and truly underway and the "Finder" is in control. It won't disable it during the boot process itself and unfortunately it seems to be "taking over" at this stage, preventing use of the drive as a boot drive.
    The second problem is that, according to many posts I've seen, it can't actually be removed through partitioning / reformatting etc by normal mortals. THis is because it is apparently incorporated in the drive's firmware , rather than a "normal" disk partition. (see http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Desktop-PC-questions/HP-Simplesave-500gb-USB- 2-0/td-p/163205 and "Max from Toronto"'s comment at http://www.chipchick.com/2009/09/hp_simplesave.html )
    There may just possibly be some way of overcoming the problem by hacking the Mac's own Boot EFI file, but you'd need a much gamer, and more knowledgeable, person than me to play around with that, and the consequences of getting it wrong could be very nasty! Even this may not be possible if the code is actually embed in a ROM on the drive that is automatically accessed first when it starts up. Perhaps HP or WD's technical staff could deal with the problem, but I suspect they would charge you for the privilege.
    My suggestion would be that you take the drive back to the vendor and either ask for a replacement that hasn't been set up for use in an HP external drive or ask for your money back.
    Cheers

  • Macbook bought in France with a international english keyboard problem

    Hi,
    My friend bought a macbook for france apple online store, he choosed a international english keyboard layout, but when he got it, he found that the keyboard is neither english laybout nor french layout, because there is not any configurations that matches his physical keyboard buttons.
    The A - Z buttons is as the US keyboard, but the ;'~`[](){}/?! etc. are not correct, that means when u choose the US layout from the system preference->international, the A - Z work, but the ;'~`[](){}/?! are not at where u see them, when u choose FR layout, A - Z are not correct, british english doesn't work, too.
    I have tried all the english countries and french countries, but no one works with 100% of the buttons.
    Can Apple give me a solution to the problem? or if the macbook that he got is not well assembled?

    Yes… I would at a minimum contact Apple sales or AppleCare regarding this. You have two options though. You can ask for a new one, given they can't simply swap out a keybaord you need to exchange the whole thing.
    Otherwise, you can use it as a bargaining chip and say ask for a free external International English keyboard and a discount on your next Apple Store purchase… for instance.
    Regardless, be polite yet firm with them as you did not get what you ordered.

  • Why can't I boot from my hard drive internally but no problem externally?

    Being unable to 100% solve my problem based off solved problems I have decided to log in. I will start from the very beginning. The computer is the Macbook late 2009 unibody. I upgraded the ram from 2GB to 8GB. everything was going smoothly until like 2 months ago. My 250Gb Hard drive was geting maxed out and in the midst of downloading I was getting warnings to free space so I was deleting and downloading the same time.....and then boom...the computer froze. Couldn't forse quit or anthing only choice was to manually power off. when I powered back on the screen was grey and would not start. I reserched solutions and ended up resetting the PR ram. after that the screen changed to white and nothing happened for a long time I was stuck...until......:
    I bought an external hard drive incasing. and like magic everything I thought I lost was right there booting externally. Now I'd be fine with that if not for the reason I bought the computer in the first place, which is to be ultra portable and kep me awake as I work nights as a security in various changing post on a nightly basis. lugging the external case around has complicated a system that was working fine to the point of death.
    So over time I have acumilated these things:
    a 16 GB hp flash usb currently holding the bootable snow leapard DVD installer
    a 500GB wd scorpio blue hard drive from an old PC pased laptop
    a 250GB toshiba hard drive (came with laptop snow leopard installed)
    a  250GB can't think of the brand cause I'm using it now hard drive (mountin lion installed)
    neither Hardive holding apple operating systems will boot internally but boot externally. I have tried putting snow leopard, lion and mountin lion on the scorpio blue but everytime I get the same result, an install failed error. So you may have guessed, I was hoping the scorpio blue as my last hope, getting an operating system on it maybe I could boot internally but for what ever reason it won't  intall fully any mac os X. So at this point I want to know if it's possible for me to just put a windows operating system on it ad if it may be able to boot that way.
    EXTRA INFO:
    when partioning the hard drive, if I have it connected internally, the computer recognizes it but I get cannot unmount errors. externally everything moves smoothly but it won't install the operating system. Currently I'm running mountin lion externally and I have the big hard drive inside the computer and it shows up as "untitled 1" it contents is two folders "Mac os X Install data" (red icon attached) and "private" It tells me I don't have permission to look inside the mac os folder. if I drag a fle from my computer to untitled 1 it says "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)."
    HELP! whatever it takes I just want to boot something without lugging this external case everywhere.

    Hi Too_Talls,
    I'm not quite sure I have totally understood you. Please correct me if I am wrong but this is how I've read your symptoms:
    MacBook not booting
    Plug in external hard drive, choose that as the startup volume. MacBook boots.
    Remove internal hard drive and replace with hard drive that has OS installed. MacBook not booting.
    Remove replaced hard drive, plug it in to usb port. MacBook starts up fine
    Does the above correctly summarise the problem?
    If it does, then the fault can only be one of two things.
    The SATA connector is not fully seated into the hard drive.
    The SATA connector ribbon cable is damaged and needs replacing.
    The good news is that, obviously, everthing else in your MacBook is okay (logic board etc) else it would not start up when an external hard disk is plugged into the usb port.
