Copy Express - Fails to complete

Hi all experts.
I'm currently working with SAP B1 2007A, and want to create a new company DB. This DB should be an exact copy of another existing company, just with no transactions. I'm trying to use Copy Express for this task, but it seems to fail.
First, I create a new company DB using SAP, I then start the Copy Express from the base company and opens a new worksheet. I choose correct base and target DB. Then I check all points of interest to me and check for independencies. Everything seems fine and I start the copying (after making backup of target base). I keep task manager (windows) open to track the use of CPU and memory of Copy Express - just to check that it is working. When it has read all data, it starts writing - but when reaching the UDFs it somehow seems to stop. No error message, and no log file is created. I kept it running all night just to see if it was slow - but no success.
Has anyone ever experienced the same? Or can someone suggest a better method for creating a copy, with no transactions, of a company DB.
Thanks and regards,
Runar Wigestrand.

Hi,
I think the quantity data in the UDF is above 2000. I am just referring to the quantity of BP master data that can be copied using CX is only 2000. That's what SAP support told me recently.
For more detail, submit a ticket to SAP support.

Copy Express Fails with "Internal Error (-5002) Occurred"

Hello experts:
I have SAP B1 Version 8.8, PL16.
I have two users I want to add from the old database to the new database. It works fine for one and the second one has a failure with the above error statement. I cannot figure out why the two users are creating different results. All I am doing is adding two users...
EDIT: I did see that the successful user which was brought over is a Superuser and the other one was not - the only difference between them...
Of course I have searched the forum and -5002 seems to have to do with DTW, ,but nothing on Copy Express...anyone know why this is happening???
What great error messages we have - they make so much sense!!!
Many Thanks in Advance and Regards - Zal

Hello Julie...thanks for doing that. I did the exact same thing and it just ended up "wasting" away with no response from SAP. They could not figure out themselves...and they moved the priority down to "low" (which is the kiss of death in any inquiry)...
So, I think it ends up as this whole conversation has already centered around - namely, error messages and absolutely no explanation as to what those error messages mean. LOL - like I could have ever gotten away with this while I was in development: throw out an error message and not give any of the Users exactly what the error messages mean or what they need to do to resolve the situation!!! Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy is the bottom line...
I have used Copy Express since this and have had similar experiences with error messages - it just gets down to "do as much as you can with Copy Express and then manually enter the information" - what a waste of time, especially when you consider this could be such a great tool with the proliferation of integrated systems!!!
Gook luck finding out and hopefully something comes of it...

Moving library to external hard drive and get the error "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"

Hello,
I'm moving my library to an external hard drive.
I've made sure to use the 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized' option when pointing to the new library location.
I select 'File'->'Library'->'Organize Library', I select to 'Consolidate Files', click 'OK' and get ther error message "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to".
I've read elsewhere that there may be a corrupted file that I need to sequester somehow and perhaps add it back however I'm not certain how I can locate that file because the status window doesn't indicate which file it's attempting to transfer when the error appears.
Any tips?
Thank you,

iTunes 10.6.3

OK I figured it out!
It was a dodgy file....I sorted the file folders by date, and as it turned out within the "compilations" folder there was a CD where only about half the tracks seemed to have been copied over. Could not have identified this simply from the time indicated on the finder folder sort, because there were several CDs copied over in the that same minute.
I went back to the original itunes folder, deleted all the files from that CD in itunes, then also deleted all those files from the original disk and the target disk.
Tried the "consolidate library" again, and it completed nicely. 200megs of music and videos.
Very happy to solve this problem after 3 weeks.

Copying music failed. The file name was invalid or too long.

I went to consolidate my music, but when it got about 2/3 of the way through, it stopped with the error message, "Copying music failed. The file name was invalid or too long." I don't know which file it is referring to. How do I find this out?
I needed to cosolidate so I could backup the entire library to DVD. Now I'm left with two partially complete libraries with many duplicates.

To find out which file it was, look at where you were
copying them too and see which was the last file
copied - and then go back to your source, and go to
the next one - it should be that one.
I just wanted to add that I had the same issue (failure to finish copying and "invalid or too long" error msg) and at first didn't see how looking for the last file copied would work since iTunes is copying into folders.
Duh.
Reverse sort by date modified (newest folder at the top of the list) then drill down to the folder containing the files being copied. Voila. There was the (missing) culprit, and I knew which file to rename in the source folder.
Thanks for the kick in the brain pan.

I am using itunes 10 and trying to consolidate my files. I keep getting the error "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long". How can I indentify what file is causing this problem or resolve this issue?

BUMP
Yes, I just get that message. I don't see how I could investigate this problem.
I didn't mention that this happened when I was consolidating my library, not copying files to another computer.
In other words, I'm using a "normal" itunes procedure, itunes won't complete it, and won't tell me exactly why or how to figure out how to fix it...
Is there at least some easy way to tell which files were successfully copied to my itunes music folder so I can work on moving the uncopied files?
Can anybody help me?

Error "COPYING MUSIC FAILED. The disk could not be read from or written to"

After following the procedurest to move the iTunes music, the computer started whirring away, happily copying and consolidating all the song files to the new target folder.
After copying 68gigs of 130gigs perfectly, it stopped dead and the following iTunes error message appeared:
"COPYING MUSIC FAILED. THE DISK COULD NOT BE READ FROM OR WRITTEN TO"
I am copying to an external LaCie 500g hard disk, and the current music file is split between folders on the laptop and folders and a 2nd external LaCie Hard disk. It did not appear to have any problems copying and consolidating files from both locations, until the error message showed up.
How can I solve this?
I really need to consolidate this music file.

Standard BPC Copy Package Fails

Has anyone experienced the standard copy package failing in BPC? I get the error message: 'Object variable or With block variable not set'.

I tried to submit data via an input template and received the same error (Object Variable or With block variable not set). I checked the security and the ID has all functionality access. The member is a base member. I also had the server rebooted and still no luck.
Below is the detail log of the copy pkg:

ITunes library consolidation error: "Copying files failed. An unknown error occurred (-50)."

My iTunes library has outgrown the HDD on my iMac, so I've started to migrate it over to a Synology NAS. The iTunes Media folder is set to the NAS, but when I attempt to consolidate the library the operation fails each time with the error: "Copying files failed. An unknown error occurred (-50).
I have found this references to this error in the communities from Windows users, but I only use Macs.

Just trying to give this topic a poke as I am having a similar issue.
I am rebuilding my library that was on an external drive. I had a backup of much of the files, but not a direct backup of the iTunes media folder, as well I am now moving it to a new iTunes Media directory on a Synology 1813+ NAS running DSM 4.3 vs. a USB attached drive.
I have followed all of the correct procedures to move the media directory by using the tools within iTunes, and that all worked perfectly.
So far iTunes has been able to locate most of the music files through its own processes. Once it completed that process I then initiated "Consolidate files" to move the found files to the new iTunes Media directory on the new NAS.
I am led to believe that the issue is with a specific file that causes the copy process to stop, but I don't know how to capture what file it might be.
I am not seeing anything relevent in the console log.
Hoping someone can throw me some ideas...

Copy express

Hello
I try to copy data from one data bas eto another and I have the same message displaying I do not know how to fix the issue:
"Failed to create default folder for application file. Check option for default folder assignment"
what folder does it mean? is it under path option? what type of folder to use?
Thank you
Guillaume

Hi
You have to create a folder on your desktop and set that path at the time of copy data.
When you will start copy express, at the time of selection of Base database and target database, you have to set the path for log files.

Copy Express Item Groups Transaction revenue Account not Found

Currently using Copy Express.
1. Have successfully loaded COA
2. Manually entered G/L account determinaition and tax codes
3. Error below is occuring when trying to Copy Item Groups and Warehouses. The items groups and Warehosues are failing.
Transaction created by document was not found, 'Revenue account'.
NOTE: the accounts determined for each item group in the source database all exist in the target database.
Can any please assist in explaining why this is happening and how I could prevent this from occuring without having to mannually create warehosues and items?
Thanks Very much
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
I have a suggestion.
The Revenue account in question may be problematic.
Can you try to change to another revenue account in your source db, and try to copy warehouse to target DB?
1.goto source db,and search for the specific warehouse and change the
revenue account to another account
2.and copy warehouse to target db
Hope this will be helpful.
Kind regards,
Willy

Copy Express problem in SAP 8.81

Hi,
I run copy express in SAP 8.81 PL4 and have proceed with 'Copy to target database' button.
During the process by the time I reached 'Create target database', suddenly an error appear:
Failed to connect UI API. Copy Express is terminating.
Error Code:0
Error Message: No more threads can be created in the system.
At first I thought it was due to the automatic lock application of SAP after idle for how many minutes.
But when I rerun the process again it's the same error.
What have I missed? How to resolve this problem?
Thanks!

Hi Jaykumar,
You are absolute right some times this type of situation occured in SAP but there is no permanent solution for this.
You have to upgrade your SAP to next PL and try again. otherwise
Goto -> Crystal Reports -> Add-ins.

Copy Express Question

I created a Test/Template company where I configured such things as Font size, columns displayed on the various marketing documents etc. Will Copy Express copy these user specific setting from one company to another and if so, what options to I select when in Copy Express?
Thanks in Advance
Dana

Hi Dana,
To know what Data Category are copying, you can click on the Data Category->In Data Details (right panel)->lower part, thereu2019s an explanation for most categories.
==For Font size: Data category->Display Settings
When you check the 2 checkboxes under this category, there are unresolved dependencies. To resolve them, please check other category.
==For Columns displayed on marketing documents:
If Iu2019m understanding you right, your request is to display UDF on marketing documents. If itu2019s the case, when creating a NEW DB, check the following:
Copy user-defined fields and tables
Copy user-defined objects
If thereu2019re also Query linked to the UDF, check Formatted Search Linked to User-Defined Fields
==How to resolve dependency: please search this topic in CX help file.
==However, there're some general suggestions when it comes to CX:
1. create a NEW DB with the following checkboxes checked
Copy user-defined fields and tables
Copy user-defined objects
2. copy one Data Category at one time.
Data Categories sequence is based on a logical data transfer and DB modification structure. It's recommended to copy part by part, instead of all of them. In this case, if any error occurs, we can also narrow down which category goes wrong.
3. use 'Leave existing and add new' instead of 'replace all' as Copy Method
4. In Authorizations->Data Details->Uncheck all users that're with Superuser authorization before copy. (this is important)
It's because Superusers have full authorizations by default and it can't be changed. It's very likely to fail the copy process.
5. Use the latest version of CX, currently itu2019s 101.
In addition, we have Expert Empowerment Session (EES) on this topic. You can find it at channel partner portal-> Archive: Empowerment Sessions->17.01.2007 - CopyExpress.
Hope it helps.

Copy Express Error

I am logging onto a SAP server via RDP and attempting to use Copy Express. When I log on remotely I get the error "Add-On CopyExpress: %s - uninstall failed.", yet when a user who is local to the system does not get any errors and it works fine. We are both signing on to the same company and using the same user, the user is a SuperUser also, the only difference is that I'm not local.
Any ideas why the local user would be abel to start and use Copy-Express but I get this error?
Thank you, Jeff

Jeff,
RDP session may not work as the local. That is mostly because user authorization issue due to remote logon. Although your SAP user code is the same but network user do not have the same permission.
Thanks,
Gordon
