Element link problem in datamodel

Hi,
We created 2 datasets in Datamodel, When we tried to put element level links for both the datasets , its showing error when we generate sample xml.
The error is displayed as shown below:
XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver/servlet/xdo
Line Number 4, Column 1:
Also in bipublisher.log file, i'm getting this error:
*[2012-03-02T10:54:01.438+05:30] [bi_server1] [WARNING] [] [oracle.xdo] [tid: 38] [userId: <anonymous>] [ecid: 4b1d6eaff3f572e1:6d93021e:135c76b9078:-8000-0000000000015be5,0] [APP: bipublisher#11.1.1] java.sql.SQLException: java.io.IOException: prepare query failed[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.[[*
*[nQSError: 27002] Near <=>: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] .*
the column which 'm trying to link is having same datatype as VARCHAR only.
What should be done for this error? can anyone help in this issue?
Thanks & Regards,
Surya

Thanks  for the response Thomas!
The functionality seems to work just fine. I use the LINK PROBLEM and it pops up the problem search box, I search for and select a Problem, I then select it and click ok, and I get no error saying the relationship was not created.
The problem is, when I open the problem after that, there is never any relationship showing in related items there, as it says there should be.
Also, to point out, I am talking about newly created Incidents. I tried even using APPLY prior to doing the LINK PROBLEM but it still did not work. I suspect it may be a workflow problem, where the workflow to create the incident has not completed, there
for the relationship is not completed.... and I get no error.
In my work environment, we have analysts during outages taking a call every 30 seconds, and I need a more efficient way for this system to work. As of now, they spend 1-2 minutes doing the ticket, and that is too long.
I have decided to try a newb way, where I created an Incident (GENERIC OUTAGE) that folks can use, and every 15-30 minutes during an outage, I can open the problem and search for open incidents with that title, and attach all that I find from the problem
side. This is assuming that once attached they will not show up in the search to attach the next time lol. Also this assumes that if attached from the problem, they will auto resolve when the problem is resolved.
I am rusty on my programming, and am currently trying to get refreshed. I am sure that would come in handy for this :)
Oh and lastly, one additional tidbit that will make this clearer, with regard to work flow, we re also running our Service Manager in our help desk, virtualized, as they have not upgraded to Win 7 yet :(. So that compiles my time to add ticket issue :(.

  • Element link problem!

    Hello Gurus, I need a bit of advice.
    In my organization, we have a single element link for basic salary. Now we have a requirement to cost the Basic Salary element as per 2 different assignment category. I tried the following steps
    1. Date tracked to 01Sep 2010
    2.Tried to create a new element link for Basic salary, but not able to bcoz the elemnt is already linked to all employees thru the existing element link.
    MSG : Element link is not mutually exclusive.
    3. I tried to delete the existing element link for Basic Salary, but I am not able to. MSG "APP PAY07134 You cannot delete links which have entries within the deletion period."
    The recommended action is delete the element entry after the session date.
    3. I try to delete the Basic Salary from element entries, but not able to do that, as the delete button does not get enabled for Basic salary.(It is enabled for the other elements).
    Pls advise how to proceed.
    Thanks
    George

    There are a lot steps involved with this one.
    1. End date salaries for all employees/ contingent workers with basic salary
    2. End date old element link
    3. Create new element link
    4. Upload salary again for all employees.

  • OTL Error - Hrs - Element link does not exist for the duration of the entry

    Hi,
    We had a few new people start just before xmas however when the person entering their record did it, they didn't date-track the additional assignment time information record to the start of the week (they did however correctly date-track their employee and assignment record) so when the timecard was filled in errors were thrown up.
    Since then I have gone back into the employees assignment time record, purged it and then re-created it effective from the week beginning.
    However when we try to enter time for them now using delegated self service, the following error is shown for the two days which were originally excluded from the date-tracked record:
    Hrs - Element link does not exist for the duration of the entry Cause: The link has been purged or date effectively deleted. Action: Check the effective start and end dates on the link definitions for this element. The original record should have been created from the 19th dec 2009 however was done from the 23rd by accident. I have since been in and replaced it with a record effective from the 19th.
    I have re-run the security list generation (we are using static list).
    The only thing I can find on metalink is 372086.1 which doesn't really describe the problem or help!!
    The people don't appear in the timekeeper form though which is strange. I really can't see any reason why their record isn't valid - no data is missing. Do I need to run a job to update the information or something?
    We are using 11.5.10.2
    Thankss

    Well would you believe it!? After much late night meddling around, I noticed one employee worked! There was absolutely no difference in any settings between his record and a persons who did not work. So I went into another employees record, changed his name and saved (correcting). Tried again and he worked fine! So, just by changing the employee name it seems to have worked for self service! I still cannot see them in timekeeper which is worrying however at least we can get time in for them now!
    If anyone knows why I may not be able to see them in timekeeper (even using an un-secured responsibility) then that would be a great help! :)

  • Element Link API - Default Location

    Hello All,
    I have been using PAY_ELEMENT_LINK_API for 2 years to create element links and it was working fine.
    Now, when I create element links using this API, the location_id is set to default location of the link organization. I don't quite remember of facing such a problem before.
    Did any1 face such a problem? If so, what was the workaround? (Other than manual entry!)
    Regards,
    Balu

    Hi Shobhit,
    You can use PAY_ELEMENT_LINK_API.UPDATE_ELEMENT_LINK API for your requirement.

  • Opening Elements 12 problem

    I am running Windows 7. When I tried to access Photoshop Elements12 it looked as though it was starting to open, the icon was going round but then nothing.

  • Element Link Errror

    Problem Description: when create new element link for different eligibility criteria then show for the following error "APP-PAY-06398: the element link is not mutually exclusive"
    FYI..., kindly check
    First Link: (We have created, no any problem)
    Element Name: Difference_Of_Pay
    Eligibility criteria-->Salary basis=ABC--> Payroll=Monthly
    Second Link: (when create then show following error)
    Element Name: Difference_Of_Pay
    Eligibility Criteria-->Group= Permanent-->Salary Basis=ABC-->Payroll=Monthly

    You cannot create the second element link, because the first one itself qualifies all the employees within that range.
    Delete the first one and you will be able to create the second link.
    Or create 2 links -
    Eligibility Criteria-->Group= Permanent -->Salary Basis=ABC -->Payroll=Monthly
    Eligibility Criteria-->Group= Temporary -->Salary Basis=ABC -->Payroll=Monthly
    If you create a link -
    Eligibility criteria-->Salary basis=ABC--> Payroll=Monthly
    then employees in all the Groups will be eligible.

    fixmyproblem
    Thanks for the reply and the information that your Premiere Elements 11 is running on Windows 8 (presumed 64 bit) computer.
    Because you come with a display issue, the first line of troubleshooting is targeted at the video card/graphics card that the computer uses.
    This information can be found in the computer under the Device Manager/Display Adapters. And then you tell us what is listed under Display Adapters...you may find one or two names listed. Please report what you find.
    In Windows 8, one way to Display Adapters listing
    a. From the Metro App Screen, type Control Panel in the Search that appears to the right of the screen, and then click on Control Panel in list below.
    b. In Control Panel, click on the header "Hardware and Sound"
    c. Under Device and Printers, click on the Device Manager choice
    d. In the Device Manager, open the Display Adapters category to find your video card/graphics card information.
    There may be a keyboard shortcut to Control Panel (I know it is there in 8.1 64 bit)...Windows Key + X and selecting Control Panel from pop up at right of the screen. You can be in the Desktop App or in the Metro Screen when you do the Windows Key + X.
    Once we know that, we will ask you to go to the web site of the manufacturer of the card and determine if you have the latest version of the card's driver installed.
    If all this is going to be too much for you to handle, then it might be a good idea to consult with the people who installed your Premiere Elements 11 for you.
    We will try to walk you through whatever we can.
    Please let us know how you wish to proceed.
    Thank you.

    Can you tell us all about your computer, and especially your computer's graphics card/chip? What is its make/model? What is the version and date of the installed video driver? When PSE runs, but PrE does not, it is usually an issue with the video driver being obsolete. Good luck, Hunt

  • WebI report on SAP Mobile BI for iOS that contains a chart with element linking issue

    Hi gurus. I have the following issue:
    I have element linking based filters on my chart # 1 to filter values on chart # 2.  It worked fine on Ipad. And it worked fine on BI Launch Pad.
    But after some time I check my webi report and it stopped working on IPAD.
    Filters are not shown on the graph.
    However it still works fine on BI LaunchPad
    Have you faced this issue before?
    Using: BI mobile 5.1.12
    Before, example:
    After some time, I opened sap mobile and it is not showing up the filter anymore
    Now: We upgraded to SAP Bi Mobile 6.0.8.12 but issue persists.
    Could you do the test?
    Steps to reproduce:
    Create a simple Webi report with a table.
    Copy that table and paste it to the report.
    Turn the original table into a column chart
    Add element linking from the chart to table. (When user filters on the chart it should change the table as well)
    Test that the element link works in BI LaunchPad.
    Save the report to the Mobile category and test on iPad.
    Open report on iPad
    Tap chart bars. Yellow filters, that are supposed to show up, are not displayed.

    Hi Erika,
    Is this report element linking defined as 'All Objects' or 'Single Object' in Webi.
    I ask this that report element linking on 'All Objects' is not supported yet. This support is expected to come in later releases.
    However, if this is single object then it should be working. Can you verify this on latest app store build and confirm. If still it does not work for you, then please raise a support ticket for the same.
    Regards,
    Ashutosh

  • "Link Problem" in Incident Form does not seem to work right? How do I do it correctly?

    1. The Link Problem tool in the task pane on our Incidents, do not seem to actually link the Incident to the Problem.
    2. I can link the two by going to the Problem and adding it on the related items tab, but this is very time consuming in a call center environment, especially during an outage where we are relying a lot more on Problem and root cause analysis.
    3. I have tried creating the incident and applying, then doing the Link Problem tool and selecting the problem, then applying again and selecting OK to close the incident. Again it doesn't work for me.
    What am I doing wrong, number one?
    Can we do this without manually opening the problem for every incident and attaching from there?
    3. Can I build an incident template that will automate the Attachment to the problem at creation? (Tried this today to and it wouldn't work, but then again, the Link Problem might again be the culprit) This would be great for real time  saving during
    an outage. Once outage is found, I could create the template with all the necessary items filled out, and would like to have it automatically attach to the specific problem I choose at template creation, and that way analysts can simply apply template, and
    click OK when they get a call related to the outage.

    Thanks  for the response Thomas!

  • InDesign to Adobe Acrobat to Adobe Reader Link problem

    Hi - I'm responsible for a long conversation about link problems in creating file links in InDesign that did not work in Acrobat. At the end of that long discussion, I thought I solved the problem, but didn't. Since then, I've been MUCH more observant.
    The problem appears to take place in Adobe Reader.
    My home computer on Win7 is different than my work Computer (XP), but I have the same software on both.
    At work, I discovered that when I clicked on a PDF, it worked fine, that its links opened a new PDF window, but when I clicked on links on the second document, the links failed and Microsoft returned an error message telling me that I was screwed. Because I was screwed, I couldn't see what was in the path of that error.
    It turns out that for some unknown reason (which you might clarify for me), my Adobe Readers are attempting to open my documents in Internet Explorer and that just won't work.
    What I observed at home is that I made 5 test documents in ID, and ported them to Acrobat. As it turns out, my default for opening PDFs is Adobe Reader, which I saw on the chrome of the first document I opened. When I clicked a link, and I got the error message, I noticed my browser was up.
    When I set my default for opening in Acrobat, everything worked like a charm! How about that!
    Now then, what that says to me is that Adobe Reader is to be used exclusively with a browser, so if the people who are going to read your internal PDF files with Reader without those files being on a web server of some type, you are totally screwed. The only way you can use Reader is if you click on the file and bring it up directly. Don't rely on linking to other documents.
    I mean, that is what it seems to me.
    Now, I am creating a big project for an environment without a webserver and obviously my sense of panic is palpable. That said, I believe that all my users can read my files using Acrobat (to be tested tomorrow), which I hope means I can breathe a bit easier.
    Do any of you have any thoughts on this subject? If you are really curious, I can make a packet of test files available.

    Karen_Little wrote:
    The files and the PDFs are all in the same directory.
    The tests are on local drives. All indesign files and their related PDFs were in the same directory.
    The same for Word and its related PDFs. Note that the PDFs created by Word then read by Adobe Reader worked correctly. They all opened in Adobe Reader.
    If the default program for opening PDFs is Acrobat, everything works correctly, with the added benefit of everything opening in a different window, which is what I want (yet to be tested at work). If the default program is Adobe Reader, the second generation of links do NOT work because Reader opens in Internet Explorer.
    When I open a Word-created PDF with Acrobat, view the link, and click to the Actions menu, the action is "Open a file"
    When I open an InDesign PDF with Acrobat and do the same, the action says "Open a web link"
    Big BIG BIG bug.
    Are you seeing the link commands by editing them in Acrobat? If not, try, so you can see the exact command and file or URL instruction. It still may be a bug, but you'll have better evidence when you report it here:
    Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    And, you might want to try correcting a link command in Acrobat, to see if can work for both Acrobat and Reader.

  • Re: Fwd: Link Problems With Borland C++ 4.52

    I have seen this problem before in another context, and I'll offer the
    cause and solution in the hope that they will apply to the Crystal problem.
    Many Windows based applications rely on PASCAL calling conventions, which
    change the way parameters are handled in function/method calls. They
    indicate this by placing one of the following immediately before the
    function name in the prototype declarations:
    - pascal_far (or something like that)
    - WINAPI
    - some other typedef of either of the above
    For example:
    int WINAPI AddTotal(int valueA, int valueB);
    Unfortunately, v2.0 of Forte does not provide any mechanisms for changing
    the calling conventions of the prototypes in the generated C++ wrapper
    library, so when you compile that code, the linker fails. I think that the
    compiler may generate different symbols depending on calling conventions,
    so that's why it fails.
    To fix this, don't autocompile your code, but generate the distribution, go
    into the generated C++ files and look for the function prototypes (I think
    you can search for FORTE_NO_PROTOTYPES), add WINAPI to the appropriate
    places in the prototype definitions (see above) and use fcompile to build
    the library. Instructions for fcompile are in the Interfacing With
    External Systems manual.
    Hope this helps,

    posted here at various points during the past few weeks. We are having
    a particular problem with getting the compile to go through, which we
    have sent in to Forte Tech Support. I'm forwarding the message I sent
    Tech Support to this group in the hopes that someone here may have
    already seen and resolved a similar problem.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

    and half of effort. We get as far as the link stage of the
    compilation, and
    the compiler aborts with an "Unknown symbol" error message for each
    of the functions we are trying to wrapper. We have tried a number of

    James,
    Thanks for your quick response. Yesterday we had been running down
    the path of examining the calling conventions and trying to change them
    to PASCAL, but without much success. After receiving your note, we
    went back over it again, and this time we were able to finally to piece it
    together. In addition to editing the Forte-generated .cc file to declare
    the functions as PASCAL, we also had to turn off the compiler's case
    sensitivity. (The Crystal .lib file had the function names in mixed case,
    but the Borland compiler was generating all uppercase for the names.)
    Now I had actually tried this yesterday and it didn't work (in fact it
    generated a whole bunch of new errors) - because until we took a
    second look at it today, I didn't realize that Borland's linker actually has
    TWO flags that control case sensitivity. If you only turn one or the
    other off, things can get pretty ugly looking. As soon as we turned
    both of them off, the compile and link went beautifully. Again, thanks
    for your help; hopefully we are over the worst of it now!
    Dale
    I have seen this problem before in another context, and I'll offer the
    cause and solution in the hope that they will apply to the Crystalproblem.
    >
    Many Windows based applications rely on PASCAL callingconventions, which
    change the way parameters are handled in function/method calls.They
    indicate this by placing one of the following immediately before the
    function name in the prototype declarations:
    - pascal_far (or something like that)
    - WINAPI
    - some other typedef of either of the above
    For example:
    int WINAPI AddTotal(int valueA, int valueB);
    Unfortunately, v2.0 of Forte does not provide any mechanisms forchanging
    the calling conventions of the prototypes in the generated C++wrapper
    library, so when you compile that code, the linker fails. I think thatthe
    compiler may generate different symbols depending on callingconventions,
    so that's why it fails.
    To fix this, don't autocompile your code, but generate thedistribution, go
    into the generated C++ files and look for the function prototypes (I think
    you can search for FORTE_NO_PROTOTYPES), add WINAPI tothe appropriate
    places in the prototype definitions (see above) and use fcompile tobuild
    the library. Instructions for fcompile are in the Interfacing With
    External Systems manual.
    Hope this helps,
    James

  • Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 installation link problems.....HELP !!!!!!

    Hi All
    During installation of Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Linux, I received the following error:
    Error:
    Error in invoking target install of makefile
    /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/network/lib/ins_oemagent.mk
    I did some research and found that it is executing the "relink" script. So I tried to debug it it. Here is the output:
    [oracle@redash oracle]$ cd /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/bin/
    [oracle@redash bin]$ relink oemagent
    chmod 755 /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/bin
    if [ linux = aix ]; then \

    Before installing Oracle 9.2 on linux (i'm using redhat 7.2), there are some steps you have to issue.
    Those link problems are related to the wrong version of binutils, you need binutils-2.10.0.18-1.i386.rpm
    You need also JDK,to set some kernel parameters and so on..
    However follow the steps of this link http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml
    For me it worked.
    Hope this helps

  • Pro*C linker problems

    System is Linux Mandrake 6.0 with Oracle 8i, with the 8i patch
    applied.
    What a nightmare that install was! Lots of permission problems,
    unreadable directories, programs with no execute permission on
    them and so on.
    I now have a database up and running, and am trying to get Pro*C
    working. The code was written on RedHat 5.2 with Oracle 8.0.5,
    and worked fine there, so I know it is not a fundamental code
    problem!
    I have patched the pcscfg.cfg file as detailed in the patch FAQ
    (with modifications for the slightly different paths under
    Mandrake Linux).
    When I compile the Pro*c file, I get many "undefined reference
    to 'dbcon'" and "undefined reference to 'ctx'" errors from the
    linker. This occurs whether I use a pre-defined list of specific
    libraries in my own Makefile, or if I use the standard
    demo_proc.mk makefile. I have used nm(1) on every place I can
    think of, to try to find the required library/object, but to no
    avail.
    I appreciate that Oracle have so far only certified Oracle for
    Linux against Redhat 6.0, but surely Mandrake can't be THAT
    different ;-)
    Does anybody have any ideas, known problems etc? I REALLY HOPE
    that I don't have to switch to Redhat as the only solution - no
    problem with Redhat, it would just require a tedious and
    complicated system rebuild, which I don't have the time to do :-(
    TIA
