Error: Fetching content folder children in Modeler

Hi,
I am often facing an internal error in HANA studio sandbox. when i am trying to open content folder in modeler perspective it often throws error: "An internal error occurred during: "Fetching Children...".
java.lang.NullPointerException"
what is the possible cause of this error, is it something related to limited user administrative privilege or its a bug in HANA studio beta version?
Regards,
Avinash

Hello,
same as I suggested in other threads - please check SAP HANA Studio log - it can be found in one of following locations:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\hdbstudio\.metadata\.log
C:\Users\<user>\hdbstudio\.metadata\.log
Try to locate the error and check if some useful information is before or after the error.

Error while loading Portal Content Folder of the EP 7...

Hi All,
We were importing the .epa file from EP 6 WAS 6.20 to EP7 WAS 7. So, in betweeen the importing process got stuck and i have canceled the import and went to Content Administrator and just tried to open the Portal Content folder then instead of loading the folder list, it gave the following error *Could not load or refresh node Tree creation failed on node: pcd:portal_content *.
If anybody already came across this type of error, Please help us in correcting this error.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi

Repositories are essentially external to applications.
Applications are associated with repositories via repository configs. Repository configs allow applications to access repositories.
1. There is no special 'centralized repository'.
2. This can be done, but has caveats, especially around caching. If multiple applications have repo configs which refer to the same repository, there can be caching issues. For example, suppose apps A and B both have repo configs for accessing repo R. If you use app A to change some data in repo R, then try to read the change via app B, you can end up with cached data instead of the most recent data in repo R. This is something to be aware of with this type of configuration.
3. There is typically one WLP admin url per application. For example, if you have an application named 'FooApp', then the admin url can typically be found at 'http://localhost:7001/FooAppAdmin'. Application 'BarApp' may have an admin url at http://localhost:7001/BarAppAdmin.
You can use the weblogic server console at http://localhost:7001/console to see these -- click on Deployments, then click Monitoriing. In the Context Root column, you can see the various top-level context roots registered for this application.
4. Repositories are top-level possibly-shared entities, similar to databases.
Applications 'use' Repositories via Repository Configs.
Applications 'own' RepositoryConfigs, which allow them to 'use' a specific Repository.
It's possible to have multiple applications 'use' the same repository (each application would have to have its own RepoConfig referring to the same repository), but there can be caching issues with this configuration -- see (2).
Each application 'owns' its own set of repo configs, and therefore its own VCR namespace. The VCR namespace is compsed of the RepoConfigs that application 'owns'. For example, if an application has repository configs with names 'Repo1' and 'Repo2', then the VCR namespace includes /Repo1/... and /Repo2/...
Note that each RepoConfig entry has a name, which becomes its VCR namespace path. The path to a node in a repository begins with / followed by the name of the RepoConfig followed by /. Application A and application B may each be accessing Repo R, but via different names. For example, if A has the path to Repo R registered via name 'RepoR', then its VCR path to Repo R is /RepoR/... If B has the path to Repo R registered via the name 'R', then its VCR path to Repo R is /R/...

Hello All,
Im trying get connect the sqlserver tablt to Sharepoint List using BCS services + Sharepoint Designer.
i have created the external content type using SPD, creating all permission to table, operation properties, parameter, filter parameter every thing is fine.
then here i have to SAVE the external content type, im getting error: External Content Type Failed to SAVE
detailed Error:
An unexcepted internal error occured in the Business Data Connectivity Sahred Service: Access to the temp directory is denied. identity 'NTAUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE' under which xmlserializer is running does not have sufficient permissions to access the

Before this i created sample external content type which is working correctly. Any suggestion regarding this..
Advance thanks..

Hi,
I understand that when you save the external content type, there is an error.I have seen similar errors, you can try the steps below:
Open C::\Windows\Temp.
Right click on Temp folder and choose Properties>Security.

Portal Content - Folder level Permissions

Hi Experts,
The standard Portal Content Folder allows a developer to create any folders, iviews & other objects inside that folder.
But Users don't get access to delete the Portal Content Folder itself.
Now i am trying to set a folder & trying to give access to developers to create their stuff inside that folder ,,, When i give Full Control on that folder they can create edit objects inside but at the same time there is a fair chance that they delete the folder by mistake.
How do i restrict this?... One should have access to create objects inside the folder but not delete the folder itself.!
regards,
Shawn.

Hi Shawn,
Please check the [Permission Inheritance Model|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ep60sp2/helpdata/en/f6/2604e905fd11d7b84200047582c9f7/content.htm] of PCD. The guide one [Setting Permissions|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ep60sp2/helpdata/en/f6/2604db05fd11d7b84200047582c9f7/content.htm] can be helpful to make sure that the Root Folder you are planing should not pass the Inherited permission to it's sub-trees if it is restricted to display only explicitly.

Uncaught error fetching image: java.lang.NullPointerException

Hi everybody,
I am developing standalone application using NetBeans,the aplication is running fine in netbeans IDE but not when Jar alone tried to run.I kept all the files related to application with the jar.
when running jar,the app is running fine upto some extent,and throwing exception at the time of fetching images from images folder which is placed inside "src folder"
class files package and images folder are in the src folder. the code is like this:
mLogo = new JLabel();
        URL lUrlLogo = getClass().getResource("/images/eaze.gif");
        System.out.print(lUrlLogo);
        Image lLogoimage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(lUrlLogo);//.getImage(lUrlLogo);
        ImageIcon licon = new ImageIcon(lLogoimage);
        mLogo.setIcon(licon);i tried by using Mainclass.class.getResource("/images/eaze.gif");
and also by using thread but dint solved
The exception is like this:
Uncaught error fetching image:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at sun.awt.image.URLImageSource.getConnection(URLImageSource.java:99)

don't specify an absolute path line "/images/eaze.gif" but use a relative path like "images/eaze.gif" or you might need the complete package path.

yes you are correct. we have two EAR one for mobile and other for desktop both are configured for cache. we tried to disable coherence cache for mobile and it worked. now next step would be to keep different name.

In Portal Content admin Role "Portal content" folder is not displaying

Hi,
I created a user in EP and assign Only Content admin Role. But in portal content area "Portal content "folder is not displaying.
Can someone help me the process steps to achieve it?
Thanks,
kundan

It is because the user has no proper permissions to the porta content folder.
you should give atleast read permission to the portal content folder to the content_admin role or to the users who have content admin role.
also make sure the end user check box is checked at the time of giving permissions.
Otherwise give eevryone group as read permisisons to the portal content folder. then you can see the portal content folder with read permissiosn only.

Can't install itunes - error message "the folder "itunes" cannot be found

Help. I just bought a new Iphone and can't get itunes to load. I had itunes on my computer for several years for my nano - haven't synced up in about a year. Went to open it and got the following error message
The folder "itunes" cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside Mu Music folder"
I have uninstalled everything - quicktime, apple mobile, every single file. I have rebooted, run searches to make sure there were no files at all left - did it through control panel, search etc., rebooted and downloaded it again (this make about 5 times now) and still get that same message that the folder cannot be found. Help! I just blew about $400 in the Apple store!
Can anyone help me?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

How to get the actual path of a file present in the Web content folder

I have a jasper file which is present inside the Web-Content folder of my project.
I need to pass this file as an argument to the FileInputStream object. How can i give the actual path of the jasper file, since this project can be deployed anywhere else also.

You may be able to use the getRealPath or getResource methods in ServletContext

I'm getting the error message "Photos folder syncing has been disabled for the iPhone my iPhone because the folder "Pictures" cannot be found."

I'm getting the error message "Photos folder syncing has been disabled for the iPhone <my iPhone> because the folder "Pictures" cannot be found." lately.
Normally, all I do with photos is move them from my iPhone to my computer's (Windows 7) hard drive. I do this by connecting the iPhone with the cable, a box pops up on the screen asking me what I want to do, and I choose "Import pictures and videos". I've previously selected the "delete photos from the device after move" option (or however it's worded...), simply because I don't want this device to fill up with photos.
Lately, it has been importing the photos fine, but it won't delete them from the iPhone. This used to work just fine, now it doesn't work and I don't know what changed, if anything. In iTunes, I get the error message I list at the beginning of this message.
How do I fix this?

Hi there scarbo59,
You mentioned that you are still able to import without issues, but you may still want to run through the troubleshooting steps outlined in the article below.

IPOD Updater - Error 1324 - The Folder path contains an invalid character

I tried to install ITUNES on an external HD (I didn't want to slow down my computer by putting all of my music on my internal HD). ITunes installed and then crashed. I removed all traces of ITUNES and IPOD that I could find and went to install ITUNES again on my regular internal drive. Now it goes through the installation and REMEMBERS my IPOD serial number (so obviously I can't find all of the files to remove) but doesn't give me a choice of where to install (it still must be trying to install to my external HD) the ITUNES. All I get is the following Error message:
IPOD Updater - Error 1324 - The Folder path "Program Files" contains an invalid character
Does anyone have a solution out there?
Thanks in advance!
MonsterProb

IPOD Updater - Error 1324 - The Folder path "Program Files" contains an invalid character
Interesting. It's choking on the old iPod updater application. (iPod software updates are no longer handled by a standalone application ... that function was folded into iTunes beginning with iTunes 7.0.0.70.)
Let's try the following procedure.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any entries called "ipod for windows \[date]" or "ipod updater \[date]" or just "ipod for windows" in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
Quit out of CleanUp, and restart the PC.
Does an itunes install go through properly after that?
