Critical: Unable to read locator reference from NCP server

Can't say why/when this started, I just know it's there,
NW 6.5/Sp5,, this occurs both with and without latest post-sp5 patches
( inc libc updates)
If I do a dnipinst from the console and choose the context,
it states that there are allready objects there and warns me from
continuing.
Can't start dns/dhcp console ( the java /ws version)
can't do anything through iManager.
what to do..?? and,, maybe also,, why ?
t.i.a

thanks for that pointer,,
seems like there isn't any,, searched from root, nope,
so,, back to square one I guess,
thanks again,,,

  • In HTTP log:  Store Critical: Unable to read index file for user/ uid

    All:
    Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-7.05 (built Sep 5 2006)
    libimta.so 6.2-7.05 (built 12:18:44, Sep 5 2006)
    We recently have started to see the following errors in our http logs:
    [01/Mar/2007:13:03:43 -0500] httpd[5174]: Store Critical: Unable to read index file for user/<uid>: System I/O error. Administrator, check server log for details.
    It's occurring a couple of different times during the day to certain users. Then it won't happen for days to anyone, but then start up again. I saw a similar thread to this re: IMAP and I'm curious if http could be having the same problem. We increased the number of process of http (from 2 to 4 a few months ago) but kept the same maxsessions (6000), so maybe I need to change the maxsession to something lower? We only started to see the I/O error two weeks ago We're not seeing the error in imap logs. Also there's no errors in the default log related to the users that receive this in http.
    I'm planning on running a reconstruct -m in the mean time to see if that helps. There have been no changes to the server or application for quite some time. Any thoughts?

    Yes, http can have the same issue. Yes, lowering the maxsessions from 6000 is the answer, IF it's the same problem. Likely, but not guranteed.
    If you actually look at the store.idx for that particular user, what do you see? Is it near 2 gig? If so, then the user needs to either delete some messages or move some to another folder, as 2 gig is the limit for the store.idx file.....

  • ASDM is unable to read the configuration from ASA.

    Earlier today I was configuring the Cisco ASA (7.2(2)) using the ASDM, but after a reboot of the appliance I now get the following:
    ASDM is unable to read the configuration from ASA.
    This happens shortly after ?Loading running configuration from the device? appears in the ASDM status window.
    I have tried restarting both the appliance and my workstation, but the issue persists. I have also tried clearing the ASDM cache, but that doesn?t help either. The issue occurs whether I used the Cisco ASDM Launcher or the web interface.
    SSH access to the appliance works fine.
    Thanks for any assistance (why is it that Cisco?s GUIs always have issues?!?).

    I have exactly the same issue , SSH works fine but ASDM and Web interface reply with that error message "ASDM is unable to read the configuration from ASA".
    My ASA is a 5520 ver 7.1(2) with ASDM 5.1(2)
    Could it be something related to Java ?
    Thanks for any hint.

  • Tomcat unable to read accented characters from MySQL

    Folks,
    Can anyone help with me this problem?
    It seems that my version of Tomcat is unable to read accented characters from my MySQL Database.
    I've checked in the Database and the characters are all correctly represented there. But when, in my servlet code, I do:
    String author = results.getString("author_surname");If the String contains any accented character then the character shows as a '?'. (Even before it gets to the JSP - I'm writing the results straight to catalina.out).
    Looking around these forums I found that some people suggested adding
    ?useUnicode=TRUE&characterEncoding=UTF-8;to the end of my jdbc url. As in:
    <ResourceParams name="jdbc/connection">
    //a whole load of other params
      <parameter>
        <name>url</name>
         <value>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/bookshop?useUnicode=TRUE&characterEncoding=UTF-8</value>
      </parameter>
    </ResourceParams>inside my server.xml
    But it doesn't seem to make any difference. In addition, I doubt I even need to use Unicode as the accents I need are only: ����� etc.
    (Incidentally, writing that line into my server.xml, tomcat complains that it should finish with a semi-colon. Is that correct? Even if I put in the semi-colon, it still complains!!)
    Any suggestions on this would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    HI,
    From http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96529/ch9.htm
    My understanding is the JDBC Api converts the string from the database to UTF-16.. If so is there any way to disable the UTF-16 encoding at JDBC API?That's exactly what it's supposed to do. There isn't even any concept of what it would mean to disable that: Java characters are UTF-16 representations of Unicode code-points, so there isn't anything else it could do.
    I still suspect the JDBC part is working correctly and your writing-to-file isn't. I found this quote in the Wikipedia article on Windows-1256:
    Windows-1256 is a code page used to write Arabic (and possibly some other languages that use Arabic script, like Persian) under Microsoft Windows. This code page is not compatible with ISO 8859-6 and MacArabic encodings.So was there a particular reason you chose Cp1256 and not ISO-8859-6 as the charset to write to the file with?

    Thank You

    Hi, if you really retrieve an excel file, you can not see the data in ABAP. You may see them in Excel. For this you may use
    CALL METHOD document->open_document_from_table
    of the interface i_oi_document_proxy for OLE objects. You can access the data with reference to the interface i_oi_spreadsheet.
    Please check [Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCIOFFI/BCCIOFFI.pdf] for details.
    But, who knows, perhaps you want "And Now For Something Completely Different".

    You can check the mode in which you are reading the file
    from application server that is
    Open Dataset in Binary or Text Mode.
    Hope it helps

  • FM to read XML files from Application server in ECC5.0

    Hi All,
    We need to pick up an XML file from Application server/FTP server. The requirement is to parse the XML file and process it to create material master. SAP provides standard function modules to read XML files.
    Now we need to read the XML file contents of MM01 and upload into SAP Data Base through BAPI
    I need to know about the Function modules to read XML files from Application Server and also about the FM's that will update the Date base tables with the data obtained form XML files.
    Regards
    Prathima

    Parsing XML data:

  • Desinger Workflow 2010: Unable to load workflow actions from the server. Please contact your server administrator?

    Hello,
    I am facing a problem from last some days..
    When I am trying to open/create/update workflows from Designer 2010, then designer giving me an error "Unable to load workflow actions from the server. Please contact your server administrator".
    I researched on internet for this error and found some possible reason like
    Login user Permission issue
    Error in custom actions
    So that I checked for permission for login user, but it has administrator rights. and I tried to open workflow by removing custom activity code, but still exist.
    also if I tried to create/update workflow for another site on same server then it works without any problem.
    Can anybody please help me?
    Many thanks,

    Third, try to restart your IIS and share the results.

  • Error while reading excel file from application server into internal table.

    Hi experts,
    My requirement is to read an excel file from application server into internal table.
    Hence I have created an excel file fm_test_excel.xls in desktop and uploaded to app server using CG3Z tcode (as BIN file type).
    Now in my program I have used :
    OPEN DATASET v_filename FOR INPUT IN text mode encoding default.
    DO.
    READ DATASET v_filename INTO wa_tab.
    The statement OPEN DATASET works fine but I get a dump (conversion code page error) at READ DATASET statement.
    Error details:
    A character set conversion is not possible.
    At the conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4103':
    - a character was found that cannot be displayed in one of the two
    codepages;
    - or it was detected that this conversion is not supported
    The running ABAP program 'Y_READ_FILE' had to be terminated as the conversion
    would have produced incorrect data.
    The number of characters that could not be displayed (and therefore not
    be converted), is 445. If this number is 0, the second error case, as
    mentioned above, has occurred.
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE', was not
    caught and
    therefore caused a runtime error.
    The reason for the exception is:
    Characters are always displayed in only a certain codepage. Many
    codepages only define a limited set of characters. If a text from a
    codepage should be converted into another codepage, and if this text
    contains characters that are not defined in one of the two codepages, a
    conversion error occurs.
    Moreover, a conversion error can occur if one of the needed codepages
    '4110' or '4103' is not known to the system.
    If the conversion error occurred at read or write of  screen, the file
    name was '/usr/sap/read_files/fm_test_excel.xls'. (further information about
    the file: "X 549 16896rw-rw----201105170908082011051707480320110517074803")
    Also let me know whether this is the proper way of reading excel file from app server, if not please suggest an alternative .
    Regards,
    Karthik

    Hi,
    Try to use OPEN DATASET v_filename FOR INPUT IN BINARY mode encoding default. instead of OPEN DATASET v_filename FOR INPUT IN text mode encoding default.
    As I think you are uploading the file in BIN format to Application server and trying to open text file.

  • What are the commands available to read a file from application server and

    What are the commands available to read a file from application server and store the file into an internal table?

    Hi,
    To read a file from an Application Server to an Object there is a command in ABAP called <b>READ DATASET</b>. After that file is transported to that object you have to do a loop and put that data in an Internal Table.
    This statement exports data from the file specified in dset into the data object dobj. For dobj, variables with elementary data types and flat structures can be specified. In Unicode programs, dobj must be character-type if the file was opened as a text file.
    For dset, a character-type data object is expected - that is, an object that contains the platform-specific name of the file. The content is read from the file starting from the current file pointer. After the data transfer, the file pointer is positioned after the section that was read. Using the MAXIMUM LENGTH addition, the number of characters or bytes to be read from the file can be limited. Using ACTUAL LENGTH, the number of characters or bytes actually used can be determined.
    In a Unicode program, the file must be opened with an arbitrary access type; otherwise, an exception that cannot be handled will be triggered.
    If the file has not yet been opened in anon-Unicode program, it will be implicitly opened as a binary file for read access using the statement
    OPEN DATASET dset FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
    . If a non-existing file is accessed, an exception that can be handled can be triggered.
    Influence of Access Type
    Files can be read independently of the access type. Whether data can be read or not depends solely on the position of the file pointer. If the latter is at the end of the file or after the file, no data can be read and sy-subrc will be set to 4.
    Influence of the Storage Type
    The import function will take place irrespective of the storage type in which the file was opened with the statement OPEN DATASET.
    If the file was opened as a text file or as a legacy text file, the data is normally read from the current position of the file pointer to the next end-of-line marking, and the file pointer is positioned after the end-of-line marking. If the data object dobj is too short for the number of read characters, the superfluous characters and bytes are cut off. If it is longer, it will be filled with blanks to the right.
    If the file was opened as a binary file or as a legacy-binary file, as much data is read that fits into the data object dobj. If the data object dobj is longer than the number of exported characters, it is filled with hexadecimal 0 on the right.
    If the specified storage type makes conversion necessary, this is executed before the assignment to the data object dobj. Afterwards, the read data is placed, byte by byte, into the data object.
    System Fields
    sy-subrc Meaning
    0 Data was read without reaching end of file.
    4 Data was read and the end of the file was reached or there was an attempt to read after the end of the file.
    Thanks,
    Samantak.
