Create project from template failed with "badly formed pathname" error message

Hi,
I am trying to create a project from a custom template, but I am getting the following error message prompt:
LabWindows/CVI could not create
Test_Project
because of an error: Badly formed pathname
However, when I checked the target project directory, I see the project files are copied correctly.  I don't know if there is something missing from our custom templates?  Of, if there is something wrong with our custom template?
I am using LabWindows/9.0
Thank you.
Peggy

Hi Peggy,
Did I understand you correctly that the files for the new project appear to have been created, but the error dialog still shows? In addition to Wolfgang's suggestions, take a look at the help section on New Project and File Templates. This describes everything that should be needed to create a custom template. Also, try to create a new, very basic custom template and make sure that you can use it successfully. If you can, start adding in the functionality of the original template, and test along the way. Hopefully either this new one will work once you finish, or you will see at which point it is breaking, and we can debug from there.

  • BAPI/FM to Create Projects from Templates

    Is there any BAPI/FM that can create Operative Project Structures referring the Standard WBS including all objects i.e, WBS,N/W,Activities,Milestone of standard project?
    If not, what could be the work around?

    Hi Robin !
            I have the same issue here, to create projects from a template, using a Function Module to do that, and I tryed to use the FM CJWB_PROJECT_COPY as you suggested, and I achieved to create project from template but, for any reason not known by me, the project is created without status object, so I can´t open it on any transaction(CJ02/CJ03/CJ20n...). I have tested it in SE37, using test sequences, so I call it and BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT to save the data.
            To make the projects available to work, I needed to run a report named CNSTATUS as explained on SAP Note 170948.
            Do you know why using CJWB_PROJECT_COPY created the projects without status object assignment ? I could not find any documentation about this function, so maybe the problem can be caused by some wrong parameter that I was passed to it.
            Do you already used it ? If yes, can you send a sample code ?
            Thank you in advance, and best regards !

  • Ifconfig pcelx0 plumb fails with Bad file number error

    Hi,
    I installed solaris 8 (x86) on a Toshiba Tecra 8000.
    The Tecra uses Neomagic NM2200 chipset for it's display.
    Even though it is not supported by the Sun Drivers, getting xfree86 for sun fixed the display problem for me.
    Now according to the various sources that guided me in this task seemed to point at a few things that I had to do in order to make the Tecra work okay with Solaris 8 :
    1)Change the PCMCIA mode in the BIOS from automatic to PCIC mode
    2)Make sure that there were no IRQ conflicts on the system.
    3)Install the OS.
    Once the OS was installed, I ran prtconf -D and saw that the network instance #0 pcelx0 was showing up under pcic.
    I did not have to install the xig init-pcic patch.
    But it did not create an entry in /devices or /dev (as a link) with the error
    "pcelx0 requested IRQ failed 6".
    Also, I suppose that is the reason why when pcelx0 is plumbed, it comes out with the error message:
    ifconfig pcelx0 plumb : "bad file number"
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Dwai.

    Thanks Alex,
    I found out -
    ifconfig adapter plumb will fail with Bad File number error when the device file that is being referred to is missing.
    I checked and found that the pcelx link is not being made in the /dev directory and the file not created in /devices.
    I also found that when /reconfigure is run, it tries to create the device for pcelx but fails with this eror message:
    pcelx : RequestIRQ fail 6
    I am assuming that there is some IRQ conflict with some other device.
    Thanks,
    Dwai.

  • Azure Pack Websites - Create from template fails

    Hi,
    I have implemented a full production version of Azure Pack Websites, and creating blank websites works fine, but if i try to create websites from templates it doesnt work. Only error i get is "Provisioning failed" - "Unable to connect to the
    remote server"
    I thought the issue was because the servers couldn't retrieve the packages from the web Pi feed, so i create an offline feed according to this article (http://blogs.technet.com/b/privatecloud/archive/2013/11/26/off-lining-web-application-gallery-feed-for-windows-azure-pack.aspx)
    but i get the exact same error.
    I have looked at logs and troubleshooted for 3 days, i really could need some help.

    I think i can help you but first, are there any firewalls between your WAP components (Even between your browser and the WAP servers, anything)

  • Can't create VM from template

    Hello,
    I'm getting this error when creating VM from template:
    failed: <Exception: Error updating the image.> StackTrace: File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSSiteVM.py", line 471, in config_vm raise Exception("Error updating the image.")
    The VM is actually created despite this message bot when I try to power it up I'm getting another error:
    failed:<Exception: ['xm', 'list', '478_CITConnect_Internal_TEST']=>Error: Domain '478_CITConnect_Internal_TEST' does not exist. > StackTrace: File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSXXenStore.py", line 192, in xen_get_vnc_port vm_id = xen_get_vm_id(vm_path) File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSXXenStore.py", line 34, in xen_get_vm_id stdout = run_cmd(args = ["xm", "list", vm_name]) File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSCommons.py", line 98, in run_cmd raise Exception('%s=>%s' % (cmdlist, p.childerr.read()))
    The template was copied from another VM pool (where it works fine, version 2.1.1) to a newly configured VM Server (2.1.5).
    The new server is configured for HA (shared storage) and I was able to create VM from ISO without any problem there.
    The template was created from existing VM (Oracle EL4 PV) running on the "old" server.
    Any ideas where I should look into?
    Thanks

    It's all sorted now.
    What I've learnt: OVS/Xen hypervisor doesn't seem to handle 4kB iSCSI block sizes.
    I had to change it to 512 bytes (configuration on the iSCSI storage - nothing on the Oracle VM side) and re-create all volumes.
    Just in case you experience something similar...

  • Can't create Project from the Template or access project template

    Dear Experts,
    We are facing a issue while trying to access the project template/create the project from project template.
    we have 4 project template in place and of these two are working perfectly fine but
    From remaining two we are not being able to create project and even templates are not accesible , whenever we are trying to access the project template system rotates a circle for some time and keeps us on the same page.
    Even when we are trying to create project from the same template, system does the same again rotates the circle for some time and keeps us on the same screen.
    And System is not throwing any error for the same (we have checked in the log as well) just not letting us in and not allowing us to create project.
    Any Help Will be Highly Appreciated.
    Regards,
    Rakesh Daiya

    Dear Experts,
    We were able to find out the issue,
    We added 3 groups to the template with "Reviewer" access with "Document Only" Type in the project template.
    When we changed the type to "Template and Document" from "Document Only" and  system started allowing us to create projects from the template.
    Can anyone please help me with one query,
    Can we add a group(which includes all the buyers) with reviewer access and with Document only type?
    Does this really be a reason behind projects are not getting created from template?
    Any help will be appreciated

  • BUG:  Advanced Actions duplicated when creating NEW PROJECTS FROM TEMPLATE using Adobe Captivate 8.

    Need:  CREATE NEW PROJECTS FROM TEMPLATE using Adobe Captivate 8. 
    Problem:  NEW PROJECT (.cptx) duplicates the Advanced Actions originally configured within TEMPLATE FILE (.cpt.).
    For example: Template file (.cptl) advanced action "_initializeModule" gets duplicated as "_initializeModule1", "_initializeModule2", "_initializeModule3" within NEW PROJECT.  FYI, the original "_initializeModule" advanced action still appears.
    MAJOR BUG, what the heck is going on?!?!!!  Planning to deploy this template file to use for multiple courses with multiple users, this WILL cause epic confusion across the board.

    Similar problem, think they are working on it as well: when dragging a shared action from an external library to a slide or object event, and that action is using a parameter that was already created for another shared action, there will be a new parameter created which really screws up the shared action contrary to this problem. Tip: for the moment do not drag shared actions from an external library immediately to an event, but drag them first to the Library: Reuse Shared Actions in other Projects - Captivate 7 vs. 8 - Captivate blog

  • Can't create VM from template on iSCSI

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create new VM from original Oracle template "OVM_EL5U3_X86_64_PVM_4GB" on iSCSI device without a success.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1) /OVS is mounted as iSCSI block device
    2) Original Oracle template is copied into /OVS/seed_pool/OVM_EL5U3_X86_64_PVM_4GB
    3) Oracle VM Manager - Import template (no problem)
    4) Oracle VM Manager - Create VM from template
    Result: Files are copied into running_pool, vm.cfg is updated, new VM is visible in VM Manager but with this message:
    failed: <Exception: Error updating the image.> StackTrace: File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSSiteVM.py", line 471, in config_vm raise Exception("Error updating the image.")
    5) Oracle VM Manager - Start new VM
    Result:
    Status in VM is Running
    I can connect using VNC console
    But the VM is constantly rebooting with these messages on the console:
    Registering block device major 202
    xvda: xvda1 xvda2 xvda3
    xvda: p2 exceeds device capacity
    xvda: p3 exceeds device capacity
    Waiting for driver initialization.
    xvda: rw=0, want=101530648, limit-12707414
    attemp to access beyond end of device
    switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
    Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
    Looks like there is a problem with partition sizes within the VM image file (xvda: p2 exceeds device capacity)
    I've tried to mount iSCSI formated with ocsf2 and ext3 - I'm getting the same error.
    However there is no problem when I mount /OVS as NFS or local drive and repeat the steps above.
    Any suggestion would be highly appreciated,
    Honza

  • Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks

    Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks in advance.

    I do some VJ-type work, involving playback of QuickTime files from the computer to projections, and I get good results using ProRes 422. That's convenient, because ProRes 422 is such a great editing codec, too.
    Traditionally, VJs use PhotoJPEG codec, which also works well, but it's a bad editing codec. So you would have to export an edited master, then convert.
    If you want it to look as good as possible, definitely schedule some time to test the footage on the wall. You may want to change the color correction of your footage to match the projectors. And if you feed the video wall some flat gray, you can see if any of the projectors need to be  adjusted.
    I'm not sure what application you're using for playback, but QuickTime Player 7 works well. It has an option to play fullscreen on an external monitor (View > Present Movie…).

  • Remove Templates from Create Incident From Template Selection

    Originally all users had access to all of the templates created, however now that we have been using SCSM for a while the number of templates created has started to grow and make the Create Incident From Template Screen difficult to navigate.  I am

  • Workflow - create document from template

    Hi,
    Could anyone tell me what could be the possible use of Create Document from Template step in workflow...

    Hi vijay,
    1)Open the PC application by choosing the entry Double-click to create in the Document templates tray by double-clicking or choose  in the step definition of the document generation.
    The PC application that you last used to create a template is opened in the Workflow Builder. The system fields and the container elements of the workflow container are offered for selection in the navigation area. They can be transferred into the template by double-clicking.
    You cannot use any multiline container elements in your template.
    All relationships created between container elements/system fields and the document template are displayed in the object area.
    It is not possible to insert system fields and container elements into all types of document template.
    2) If you want to create a document template of a different class, select  Change document class and choose the new type of document template.
    3) Select  to assign a name for the document template.
    4) Create the document template in the usual way in your PC application. You can use all the functions of the PC application.
    5) Insert container elements and/or system fields from the object area into your template by double-clicking. These fields are replaced with the content of the container elements/system fields at runtime.
    6) Select  to save your document template.
    Hope this helps u,

  • Automatcally create Project from Sales Order

    We are on SAP R/3 4.7. We are currently using Project system for customer projects. We are manually linking the WBS element to the sales order item.
    We are considering to automatically creating project from sale order.
    Can someone offer any suggestions or recommendations?
    If you have already done in the past, did you encounter any issues or concerns that need to be considered?
    Thank You
    Sanjay

    Hi,
    As per standard configuration:
    1.) Maintain requirement class in OVZG as 80
    2) Maintain Requirement type in OVZH as KP and assign 80 there
    3) Strategy in SPRO->Project System->material->Strategy and maintain requirment class and requirement type and account assignment there.
    4).Then maintain strategy in strategy group...it would be same as 85.
    5). Then you can maintain item category from SD side and item category group from MM and assign these item categories to SD document type .
    6). Now create standard templates(Project and network activities and make assignment to standard project)
    7). Create configurable material(Variant configurator) in MM01 as KMAT and maintain item category group as same defined above and maintain strategy group in MRP tab same as defined above.
    8). Now assign these Variant configurator to standard network and projects in CN08.
    Look into these setting would definately help you.

  • InDesign CS5- where is create new from template?

    Hi,
    I was looking for creating something new from one of the default templates of CS5, like I've done in the past with CS3 and CS4.  However I find that there doesn't seem to be an option to create new from template.
    Am I completely missing where it is?  Have they called it something else?  Have they removed the default ones completely from InDesign?

    I should perhaps amend that to don't waste time with a template for multiple labels on a sheet. If you see something that works for you as far as basic layout, make a one-up lable from it (cupy the elements from a single label into a new file sized for only one label). Get a sheet full of blank labels, place that file in the upper left position on your larger sheet layout, then use Edit >Step and Repeat... to make the grid. This is much more efficient as it allows you to edit the entire sheet at one time by editing the single label file.
    If you need to d a data merge, you can do nearly the same thing -- put a single blank label layout in the upper left position, add your merge field placeholders in that one label, and run the merge. DO NOT put anything beyond the single label layout on the sheet for a Data Merge job. Also, note that there is a bug in CS5/5.5 that will give you an incorrect multiple records merge if you try to preview. If you preview you must use Undo before the merge to go back to the pre-preview state.
