EAS background processes status window is not listing the processes

Hi All,
When I choose to run a calc/report script at the background in EAS i dont see that process in the background process status window, it is just blank. but when i goto the session window to check, the process is still running. So background process status window is not list any processes that are chose to run at the background. Did anybody have this issue? Really appreciate your help to solve this problem.
We are using Essbase 11.1.2.1. The issue is in the nonprod environment but it works fine in the prod environment which is running the same version.
Thanks for you help..

Hi Shiva,
When I run a calc from EAS and If I choose to run at the background, I should see that process and all previous processes that were run at the background in "Background Process Status" window but i don't see anything there. What do I need to do in ESSVR?
Hi Celvin,
This is the JRE version and same in prod too.
java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)
Oracle JRockit(R) (build R28.0.2-11-135406-1.6.0_20-20100624-2119-linux-x86_64, compiled mode)
Thanks

  • Windows Could Not parse or process unattend answer file for pass [specialize] after WDT Litetouch 'sysprep and capture'

    I setup an ACER VM6620G (Win7x86) how I wanted, including disabling the administrator account and creating an administrator user "PVA"
    Navigated to \\wds\DeploymentShare$\Scripts and ran the litetouch script. Chose my "Sysprep and Capture" task. 
    Everything went off without a hitch until I restarted the technician pc. 
    I got the dreaded
    "Windows could not parse or process unattend answer file [C:\windows\Panther\unattend.xml] for pass [specialize]. A component or setting specified in the answer file does not exist"
    I tried to deploy the captured image to the same computer and got the same error
    I've scoured the internet for solutions (Shift+10 opens command prompt. Good to know!) with no luck.
    I've saved the unattend.xml and looked for errors- going as far as to install an x86 Win7 virtual machine to validate the unattend.xml file in WISM
    Other information that might be useful:
       I never used WISM to create an unattend.xml nor did I attach one to the image. 
       I didn't try to copy user profiles/settings/migrate etc
       I imported the captured image to WDT. Created a standard task and added 2 nodes 
         -Inject Drivers
         -Install Application
    As a side, I've got another image that I've already injected the drivers/installed the application as a test. Everything went smoothly.

  • When installing Server 2008 Datacenter from disc, I get the error message "Windows could not parse or process the unattent answer file for pass [specialize].

    This is a clean install from s disc onto a 3TB GPT drive. This is for testing. I'm not concerned with finding a more practical solution for this installation.
    There is no image or answer file involved. But at the "Completing Installation" phase, I receive this error message about an answer file.
    Has anyone else expecrienced this problem? The only results I find here are regarding actual imaging with answer files.
    EDIT: [Redacted]
    EDIT 2: Since this now happens with every single installation of Server 2008 on this system, I feel the need to keep this open and elaborate on my situation.
    I originally installed Server 2008 on the 2TB partition of this 3TB drive. The partition type was MBR. I reinstalled it (there was a false alarm for malicious software) since it was a fresh install without updates or anything else installed. And for the
    second time, it installed fine.
    I decided to make the most of my 3TB drive and try GPT partitioning. So I went into the command prompt > diskpart > ran "clean" on the disk, then "convert GPT"
    That is when I tried another install of Server 2008 and received this error message about an answer file.
    I decided to convert it back to MBR and get on with what I wanted to test in the first place. So I went into Diskpart again, ran "clean", rand "convert MBR" and started the install. But this resulted in the same error message about an
    answer file.
    I went back to Diskpart, "clean"ed the disk, ran "convert dynamic" to make sure it was dynamic, then tried the install again, with the same result.
    Now, I've tried installing on the disk as GPT, MBR basic and MBR dynamic. I've tried a different installation disc, as well. I got the same result. At this point, I'm going to switch hard drives, but I'm still open to input. Thanks for reading!

    Hi,
    As you swapped the hard disk, whether the same issue occurs again if you redo the same steps?
    I asked "OEM or retail" because of this known issue:
    "Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]" error message when you perform an in-place upgrade in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2425962
    An answer file may already contain in the disc which causes the issue.
    If issue still exists you can click Shift + F10 during the installation process to see the log. Check if the installation error for detailed information.
    If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

  • Windows 8.1 having same issue: Windows could not parse or process unattend answer file (C:\Windows\Panther\unattend.xml) for pass [specialize]. A component or setting specified in the answer file does not exist.

    I know there are similar other issues with IE 10 and Windows 7.  This is WINDOWS 8.1, and the IE Welcome message is totally absent from the default unattend.xml in the c:\windows\panther directory.  In fact, I did a sysprep without using any injected
    unattend.xml - this is the Microsoft Default!
    So I suspect this will start appearing all over again soon.  Anyone figure out what was causing it?
    Here is the new Specialize section from the xml:

    I'm thinking of dumping the entire IE section and see what happens.

    I too received this error as I tried to run my first Windows 8.1 deployment. Per another post I commented out this line
    <IEWelcomeMsg>false</IEWelcomeMsg>
    from the IE section of the unattend.xml. I was then able to run my deployment. I do not see this line in your posting though.
    I referenced this link even though it was for Windows 7.

    Hope this helps someone.

    To clarify, I edited the unattend.xml file from from Deployment Share, not C:\Windows\Panther.

    The reset link will show on your account if you have a rescue email address on it, if you only have alternate email addresses then it won't show.
    If the country where you and your iTunes account are isn't on this page (you need to be in a country to use its store) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    then you can try contacting support via this page and explain that you've forgotten your answers, don't have a rescue email address, and your country isn't on the HT5699 page and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Boot Camp - Windows XP not listed

    Due to work requirements, I had to install Windows XP on my MacBook to work with .NET framework and relative tools (MS VisualStudio, SQL Server, ISS, etc). The partitioning and installing stuff worked just fine but when I power up the laptop pressing the 'Alt' key to choose witch OS to boot, it only shows me the OS X partition. Windows is not listed on boot. The only way I have to boot through XP is by selecting it as the default boot partition in the Sys. Pref. panel. It's very anoying because I have to press 'Alt' everytime I want to use OS X, that is almost all the time. The Windows partition has FAT32 as file system, so I can move files arround, when needed, in OS X. NTFS is an option, if there's no other way to solve this... Does anyone know the problem? Any solution?
    I'm running OS X Leopard with all the updates installed (firmware and software) and Windows XP Pro SP2, with FAT32 as FS, as I said. The MacBook is the latest one, version 3.1, I think.
    Message was edited by: lycosman

    This appears to be a problem with some of the newest MacBooks. There are several posts on this issue. It is possible that, as you seem to have noticed, switching to an NTFS formatted partition will solve the problem. See e.g. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5947955&#5947955

  • Fonts installed with windows are not listed in acrobat 8 professional

    Fonts installed with windows are not listed in acrobat 8 pro, what do you need to do to make them availabe in the program

    If you have Word installed, make a simple PDF from Word that has text set in Tahoma, then print to the 'Adobe PDF' printer.  Open the PDF file you just created, then hit Ctrl-D.  In the Fonts tab you will see what font the PDF file want to use and what font it actually uses.

  • Getting "Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]" with IE10 integration? Read this...

    Hey guys,
    I just discovered an issue with using MDT to integrate Internet Explorer 10 into Windows 7 & 2008 R2 image files. Building the images was no problem at all, but when I tried to deploy them it would bomb with this error every time:
    "Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]."
    So a very annoying and cryptic error to say the least. Obviously the issue was with the unattend.xml file that gets auto-generated by MDT, but all the items under "specialize" had worked just fine when I built the image and the IE version
    was the only item that had changed. After comparing the Windows 7 & Server 2008 R2 unattend.xml files to my Windows 8 & Server 2012 unattend.xml files (because they have IE 10 native) I discovered that the following flag was missing
    from the Windows 8 & Server 2012 unattend.xml files:
    <IEWelcomeMsg>false</IEWelcomeMsg>
    So I simply commented it out like so:
    Re-ran my test deployment and viola, 100% successful with zero errors. I was a little embarrassed/annoyed that this took me so long to track down, then I realized others might be struggling with this too so thought I'd share.
    Hope my time spent saves someone else some grief!

    I know the last reply was from a couple weeks ago, but honestly, I haven't been able to find anything else in the last week of searching Google. I'm new to the MDT process but I'm having the same issue with what you posted. I can shift-F10 during the "Applying
    system settings" and open my unattend.xml file and remove the IEWelcomeMsg line and the image deploys perfectly, so I know that's my problem. I can't figure out where that line is coming from. I have edited every unattend.xml file in the Templates folder under
    MDT and also the one in my deployment task sequence, but somewhere during that deployment, that one setting gets added back to the unattend file and nukes the whole image. I'm about to pull my hair out. I'm implementing MDT to save time but I feel like the
    last couple of weeks trying to get it to work have been a waste. I have thought about backing my reference image back to IE9, but having to deploy IE10 post image seems like it's an unnecessary burden. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Windows control panel routine to designate Elements 12 as my default editor does not list the program. It loaded OK and accepted the key. Your regular help line could not help. What to do?

    Windows control panel routine to designate Elements 12 as my default editor does not list the program. It loaded OK and accepted the key. Your regular help line could not help. What to do?

    Hi Robbie,
    The editor program is NOT under the organizer path as you mentioned in your last message. The actual editor program is at the location I gave in message #1 i.e. as follows
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    The one under the organizer is actually the Welcome screen which you have probably set up to go directly to the editor.
    If you go to the Open With screen I showed in message #3 and browse to the actual editor as given above, it should show up in your list.
    If it doesn't, then Windows is playing up again - and we have to take extra steps.

  • Windows could not parse or process unattend answer file (c:windows\panther\unattend.xml). Error message during setup.

    I'm having an issue, with Windows 8.1 sysprep WIM, when applying the image and don't know what to do.
    I am using the Windows 8.1 WADK/Windows Kits for Windows 8.1. Using the Image Manager for creating my answer file, using deployment/imaging tool for creating and editing my images, and using the same Windows 8.1 DVD media for my catalog as in my WIM. No MDT
    involvement.
    Using WinPE to clean and partition my disk and to apply the image.
    I have done the best research I'm able to do at the moment and for this issue it all comes back to removing/editing the "IEWelcomeMsg" line.
    I have left at false and removed the line as all have mentioned, however I'm still getting the error "windows setup: windows could not parse or process unattend answer file (c:windows\panther\unattend.xml). A component or setting specified in the answer
    file does not exist".
    Is there something I missed? From what I can tell for now, nope.
    Any help to enlighten what might have been over looked would be beneficial.

    Hi JFrederick,
    Please try what Tripredacus suggested first.
    For the error message, we have a similar thread for reference:
    Windows
    Could Not parse or process unattend answer file for pass [specialize]
    The cause might be different, you may refer to the others who offered suggestions in the above thread.

  • When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.

    Problem:
    When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.
    Any help that you can provide in helping my iPhone accurately sync with iPhoto and iTunes will be greatly appreciated.
    Symptoms:
    1)   Sync:  It’s not completing the sync.  Below, I’ve provided all of my settings from the iTunes Summary tab so that you might tell me if I’ve selected any incorrect options.  I prefer to sync the “old school” way – by connecting to the computer – as opposed to syncing over the cloud. Perhaps this is what’s causing the problem? Here is a list of the steps displayed in the iTunes window as the sync progresses:
    waiting for sync to start (step 1 of 7)
    backing up (step 2 of 7)
    preparing to sync (step 3 of 7)
    determining apps to sync (step 4 of 7)
    preparing apps to sync (step 5 of 7)
    importing photos (step 6 of 7)
    waiting for changes to be applied (step 7 of 7)
    syncing apps / copying 1 of 4 (App name) (step 7 of 7)
    canceling sync
    apple icon
    2)   Photos: I've selected only certain of my iPhoto albums to sync to my iPhone.  All of the albums are correct/complete in iPhoto.  All of the albums are listed on my iPhone, both before and after the sync, but the albums are empty (no actual photos) before and after the sync. Perhaps this is tied to the fact that the sync isn’t completing, but because “importing photos” is one of the steps that the incomplete sync displays, I don’t know.
    3)   Apps: When I launch iTunes and click on the Apps folder under the Library listing, then click on the Updates tab, iTunes searches for any Apps needing to be updated and provides a list.  If I click on Update All, the Apps are successfully updated in iTunes.  But, when I plug in my iPhone so that the updates will transfer to the apps on my iPhone, the updates don’t transfer to the apps on my iPhone and those apps still reflect that they need updating on the iPhone.
    Other Potential Pertinent Info:
    The flash memory hard drive on my MacBook Air recently died (perhaps a month or two ago).  Apple had emailed me about a known issue and literally the next day, my MacBook Air crashed.  I installed a new flash memory drive and re-installed everything from a backup off of an external hard drive.  Everything seems to be working fine; it recreated accurately all of my software and data, including iPhoto and iTunes, the pictures and songs (respectively) for which are stored on that hard drive, as opposed to being on the flash memory in the MacBook Air itself.  However, I don’t recall if the start of the sync problem described herein started happening at the same time that I replaced the flash memory drive.  All I know is that the computer is working perfectly in all respects and that even as the sync is failing, it at least says that it’s doing the right things and looking in the right places (e.g., the list of albums on my iPhone matches the list of albums in iTunes, etc.).
    Settings/Status:
    MacBook Air
    OSX v. 10.9
    iPhoto ’11 v. 9.5 (902.7)
    iPhone iOS 7.0.4
    iTunes v. 11.1.3 (8)
    Summary Tab
    Backups (This Computer)
    Options
    Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected
    Sync only checked songs and videos
    Photos Tab
    Sync Photos from iPhoto (429 Photos)
    Selected albums, Events, and Faces, and automatically include (no Events)
    Albums – 9 are selected

    You need to download iTunes on your computer. iOS 6 requires the latest version of iTunes which is 10.7.

  • Windows could not complete the installati​on

    Hello,
    I ordered the Windows 7 recovery cd's and when I run the process, which takes several hours, I end up with this message:
    "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation". Has anyone seen this before. I did receive a third disc labeled "Application and Driver Recovery CD". Should this have been loaded when it asked if I received a supplemental disc? Could this cause the problem?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi:
    I had the same issue, and couldn't figure it out.  Tried it twice.  The disks should be numbered. You boot from the disk labeled Disk 1 and follow the on screen instructions and it tells you what disks to add in turn.
    My installation went all the way to the end where it told me to remove all the disks. So, when I thought it was done and was running windows for the first time, that error appeared.
    I gave up and did this...
    If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
    Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
    Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
    The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
    Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  • "Windows could not complete the installation"

    I took delivery of a new T400 today. Imagine my surprise upon turning it on to see the Windows F8 recovery menu, and a message about the system not having been shut down cleanly. Strange thing on a machine straight from the facory !
    Well anyway I let it boot into the normal mode. Next the OS booted and something obviously ran to install updates. I suspect that one of these failed. Eventually I was presented with a dialog that says "Windows could not complete the installation" and "To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation". Sadly this same dialog displays regardless of how many times I reboot. 
    Reading the scanty doc that came with the machine, it appears to have a recovery partition and a way to invoke a factory restore from the partition. Unfortunately entering recovery mode does not work (I press F11 and it goes ahead and boots into Vista anyway).
    Next I tried calling Lenovo. They politely said that they are not working at this hour and I should call back in the morning. Well I am planning to take this new laptop on a business trip in the morning and won't have time to call before I have to be at the airport.
    So back to self-diagnosis...I found that when in the 'All your install are belong to us' mode, I could press ctl-alt-del and get task manager up. From there I could run commands such as cmd.exe and msconfig. Using msconfig I opened the event viewer. Nothing too interesting in there, except that a service or driver called tuvu...somethign didn't start.
    Another thing I found is that there is no way any longer to get to the F8 safe mode menu on boot. It just blips on the screen for a nanosecond and then it's gone (even if you have pressed F8). So I used msconfig to boot into safe mode. That didn't help.
    I've always bought cheapo off-brand laptops from Costco, and this was my first 'premium brand' purchase. To say the least I am not impressed. Surely Lenovo can spare 10 minutes to ensure that each machine actually boots before they ship ??
    Any pointers on how to fix this machine are most welcome.
    UPDATE : I made some progress on my own. On a whim I decided to go looking for the process that had so rudely decided that I couldn't use my computer. Browsing the process list in taskman, I noticed something called 'runonce.exe'. So I did the obvious thing and killed it. Bingo ! I now have the vista desktop and the machine appears to be working just fine. It's now updating. Presumably I can find and disable this thing that used the runonce wrapper and I'll be good to go,.

    I had this same problem on my T61 and after seeing yoru post I imaged my system successfully to get rid of the problem on my system. You can image it without making burning any discs. What I did was hit the Thinkvantage button during boot, chose the Restor System option, chose full factory reset, chose to delete all my files and then chose the custom option for recovery. I don't remember exactly which items I unchecked, but there were a few towards the end that had OOBE in the name. I let it complete the restore and it seems to be working fine now. So you might want to try doing it that way, I was hoping that one of the things I unchecked was whatever was causing the system to crash near the end of install and mess up the Vista installation.
    Good luck! Hopefully this will work for you instead of just wasting like 3 hours...

  • Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows...

    I have a G62-340US that had a hard drive crash. I installed a new hard drive and used the HP Restore Disks. The laptop will go through the boot process and Windows will give a message" Setting up system for first time use" or something to that affect.  A diolog box then comes up and says "Windows could not complete the installation.  To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation." If I hit enter, I am caught in a loop. I can control-alt-del and kill audit.exe and bring up the system. However, everytime I reboot, I get the above error.
    The system is running Win7 64 bit.
    Any ideas on how to complete this installation and move forward?
    Also, the HDD is 320 gb but the system is only recognizing 68 gb.
    Thanks for your assistance!

    Hi:
    That happened to me too and I tried twice to get the disks to work and the failure occurred at the same place.
    If you bought a new hard drive of at least the same size in GB as the old one, the disks should have worked.
    There is no telling why they don't and many folks have issues with the recovery disks for one reason or another.
    Fortunately there is a method you can use to get W7 back on your PC if you can read the full 25 character windows product key on the bottom of your PC. 
    Here's what you can do...
    If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
    Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
    Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.

    Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
