Domino Provision error: No message queue with that name

Hi,
Recently when we try the domino provisioning we often receive this error:
No message queue with that name.
This error is intermittent.
Does any one has any idea why?
Thanks

Hi Wushilin,
We are also encountering the same problem.
Are you still facing the same issue?
If you have solved the problem, can you share the solution?

Error while uploading document with same name in Document library

Hi,
Whenever I try to upload document with same name in Document library it throws an error. I know its a default behavior but is there any way so that I can upload documents with same name or can we append some unique id with title of the document?
Please suggest.
Thanks

No, unfortunately this is not possible. SharePoint treats the file name as the primary key identifier for a document so if you try to upload a second document with the same name it will assume this is a new version of the file. If you have versioning enabled
on the document library, it will add this as a new version. If not, it will overwrite the original file with the new one.
If you need two documents with the same name, you will have to either place them in different folders within a document library or in different document libraries.

Error while restoring database with different name on subscriber

Hi all,
I am using merge replication in sql server 2008R2. Yesterday I wanted to create a test environment, so
I did:
1. on publisher I restored from backup production db with another name ( lets call it TEST and new files
.mdf, .ldf and no switch KEEP_REPLICATION). After this step original replication between production
dbs worked fine.
2. on subscriber I did the same: restore as new db TEST with new
files .mdf, .ldf and no switch KEEP_REPLICATION.
Unfortunately I noticed, that after second step replication stopped. SQL agent replication job on Subscriber
is gone.
Why restoring db with new name did affect original replication?
Finally the most important: replication was set up by external company and I have to bring it to live now
but I don't know this subject so good. How can I do it?
Assuming, that there is no data change on subscriber in replicated tables is it enough when I select ‘reinitialize’
on Publisher and Subscriber?
Thanks in advance
Artur

Hello,
Sorry for late response, but I was out of the office during last week.
Regarding problem 1: restoring replication. I contacted guy who made originally our replication and he recreated subscription agent. So this is solved.
problem 2: why did it happen?
Lydia, in link which you provided I found only info about restoring db in replication, but I didn't want to restore replication.
I checked SQL Server and Server Agent logs and there were no entries on that time. The only entries are regarding db restoring. Below:
09/11/2014 12:45:59,Backup,Unknown,Database was restored: Database: Logik_ATData_TEST<c/> creation date(time): 2012/04/27(13:55:41)<c/> first LSN: 21392:66:267<c/> last LSN: 21392:227:1<c/> number of dump devices: 1<c/> device information: (FILE=1<c/> TYPE=DISK: {'D:\MSSQLBackup\Dzienny\Logik_ATData_PROD\Logik_ATData_PROD_backup_2014_09_10_231001_6391536.bak'}).

In Windows application log there were also no other entries, besides these above.
I also could not check job history, because the job was gone in SSMS jobs list, while the subscription was present in SSMS Replication with info, that last successful synchronization was at 12:42 (there is a 5 min. sync period).
I also don't understand how the job was deleted, because according this manual (http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1803/auto-alert-for-sql-agent-jobs-when-they-are-enabled-or-disabled/) I have 2 triggers in sysjobs table and every time, when
job is deleted/disabled I got @ notification. In this case I got no @.
My SQL Server version:
Product_Version Product_Level Edition
10.50.2550.0 SP1 Standard Edition (64-bit)
Any idea what happened?
Thanks,
Artur

LSMW using IDoc Method *Error :No partner exists with the name '', type ''*

Hi All,
I am a newbie. I am trying LSMW using IDoc Method.
I got an error when i executed Start IDoc Generation step: No partner exists with the name '', type ''
Could anyone tell what wrong I might have done,
Thank you,
Shiv Ram

Hi,
You have to setup your IDoc configuration in LSMW:
1) Enter the menu \Settings\IDoc Inbound Processing
2) Create a FILE port by clicking "Maintain Ports"
3) Create a logical system (LS) partner number by clicking "Maintain Partner Numbers"
4) Be sure your partner profile that you create is "Active" by clicking "Classification"
5) In the end click "Activate IDoc Inbound Processing" bottom.
Run your LSMW again. This time it shoud run wothout any problem.
Hope it helps.

Performer Search & Users with Identical Names

Is there a way to distinguish between service performers with identical first and last names?
We have a few cases where people have identical first and last names. When searching for performers in ServiceManager, we can not distinguish between these users.
We are using LDAP/Active Directory to populate users in RequestCenter and PeopleSoft populates Active Directory. Since PeopleSoft and AD are used as the "definitive" source for user information, we use a person's legal first and last name for the attributes.
Can anyone suggest a workaround to distinguish between two different users with the same name?
Thank you - Brian
Version 2008.3 SP5 - SQL DB

That is correct, but that identifier isn't visible in Service Manager. You just see something like this:
John Jones
John Smith
John Smith
John Smith
John Tucker
And if you need to assign a task to one of them, for example, there is no way to tell one John Smith from another.

Differentiating between versions of applications with identical names

I am in a situation where I have both Microsoft Office 2004 and Microsoft Office 2008 installed (and working OK) on my work computer (1.42GHz eMac, 2GB RAM, OS X 10.5.8). When needing to use Microsoft Excel I use either version, although Excel 2008 is noticeably slower on many tasks. This speed difference is the reason I am trying to achieve what I have described below.
I have written a script which, after processing/editing/cleaning up a .csv file using AppleScript, saves the results to a tab-delimited text file, opens it in Excel 2004 and does some sorting. So far (after much internet-searching and experimentation), everything works according to plan, consistently and reliably.
In the script, I have been able to differentiate between *Microsoft Excel* (in the Microsoft Office 2004 folder) and *Microsoft Excel* (in the Microsoft Office 2008 folder) and the script successfully opens the file using Excel 2004. The following lines accomplish this (I have omitted some extra code which similarly checks for Excel 2008 and does some error-prevention - what is here is the important stuff. I have tried the script with and without the omitted code and it runs the same for the purposes of this post):
+tell application "Finder"+
+set TargetFile to (path to desktop folder as string) & "ResultsFile.txt"+
+if exists (application file "Microsoft Excel" of folder "Microsoft Office 2004" of folder "Applications" of startup disk) then+
+set VersionToUse to (application file "Microsoft Excel" of folder "Microsoft Office 2004" of folder "Applications" of startup disk)+
+end if+
+open TargetFile using VersionToUse+
+end tell+
No problems so far. The document is open in Excel 2004, waiting for AppleScript commands to be issued.
(On a computer with only Office 2004 installed, the following paragraph does not apply because there is only one version of Excel - I have been able to issue commands for selection, sorting, etc. with no worries. The problem is when there are two versions of Excel on the same hard disk.)
However, as soon as I use a tell block starting with *tell application "Microsoft Excel"*, Excel 2008 opens up. Even if Excel 2004 is already open, double-clicking Excel files in Finder will open Excel 2008. I have been looking for ways of uniquely identifying the version which has opened the document so that I can issue commands within that, but to no avail. If both versions of Excel are running at the same time, System Events gives the name of both as "Microsoft Excel". In Finder, I could change the name of one from "Microsoft Excel" to "Microsoft Excel 2004" and the other to "Microsoft Excel 2008", but I am trying to avoid that if possible. I'm not sure of what unwanted side-effects could result.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to issue commands within the running version without the other, identically-named, version activating itself? Possibly, the method I used to identify the wanted version (setting the variable VersionToUse to the pathway) is not the best way, but I am unable to figure out another way without the other version being opened instead. I would prefer to keep away from shell scripts unless there is no other way, as I am nowhere near as comfortable with shell scripts as I am with normal AppleScript. I have not yet tried setting the default application to Excel 2004 using the Get Info command in Finder (don't know if that will work consistently, as the OS seems to want to use the later version of an application if more than one is available), and I'm trying to make the script portable so that it could work on another computer which has both versions of Office installed without changing any of that computer's settings. However, if that change (so that *tell application "Microsoft Excel"* applies to Excel 2004 instead of Excel 2008) could be effected using AppleScript and then reverted to original settings once the script finished, that might be the simplest way to do it.

Thank you both for taking time to reply. I have tried your suggestions, but unfortunately they did not bring me any closer to what I am trying to achieve.
Taylor.henderson - yours did not work as hoped, most likely because AppleScript will only accept just the name of the application when it is being set to a variable. The full pathway, which would solve the confusion about which version of an application to use, seems to be rejected by AppleScript (maybe it is simply not expecting a pathway and does not know what to do with the extra information). The idea is great but unhappily it didn't work.
Hiroto - when run on the Mac at work (G4 eMac, 1.42 GHz, OS X 10.5.8), your script gave the following results:
+tell application "Microsoft Excel"+
+path to current application+
+«event ascrgdut»+
+path to current application+
+alias "MacintoshHD:Applications:Microsoft Office 2008:Microsoft Excel.app:"+
+end tell+
When run on my Mac at home (DP 1.25 GHz G4, OS X 10.4.11), it hung AppleScript with the only way out being to force quit. Again, the idea is good but it unhappily also didn't work.
After a lot more experimenting with both Excel and System Events, I acknowledged that I had come to a dead end. Then I re-read my original post and decided to try what I wanted to avoid - renaming the applications in Finder, although I had to log in as root to do so. After renaming "Microsoft Excel" in the Microsoft Office 2004 folder to "Microsoft Excel 2004", I ran that to see if it still worked. No problems so far. Then I told AppleScript to get the application process names using System Events. I had expected it to return "Microsoft Excel", but to my surprise it actually returned "Microsoft Excel 2004" as the name of the application process. When likewise renaming the 2008 version its application process did actually return just as "Microsoft Excel". I'm not sure why, but as long as they are different it enables me to address/refer to each one without confusion. Possibly because, at least on my home machine Excel 2008, when right-clicked on, gives the option to show package contents. Inside the folder which opens, and then inside Contents > MacOS is the Unix executable file. Excel 2004 does not display "show package contents" (probably PPC only). I tried renaming the Excel 2008 Unix executable file from "Microsoft Excel" to "Microsoft Excel 2008", but that really confused the computer. The name of that file is probably hard-coded and the file does not get recognized if its name is different. So I left the 2008 version completely alone.
The earlier version of my script had actually been able to open the chosen document in the desired version of Excel. The problem which I could not solve was how to prevent the other version of Excel from opening when using "tell application Microsoft Excel" in the script ("tell application Microsoft Excel" was needed before issuing any commands such as selecting, sorting, etc.). It looks like the renaming of the application and the consequent renaming of the application process did the trick. Hopefully changing the name of an application, as it appears in Finder, is not going to cause any problems. So far, it appears that nothing has gone wrong.
Just as an afterthought, to prove to myself that the problem was solved (at least sufficiently for me to do what I wanted) I ran the following script to see if having both versions of Excel running was going to cause any problems. The two larger blocks in the middle do the same thing - switching back and forth between the two versions of Excel - but one uses System Events and the other addresses each application individually. The delays are there to give each action time to finish happening before the next one occurs.
+tell application "Microsoft Excel 2004"+
open
+end tell+
+tell application "Microsoft Excel"+
open
+end tell+
+delay 6+
+tell application "System Events"+
+repeat with Counter1 from 1 to 5+
+delay 1+
+set frontmost of application process "Microsoft Excel 2004" to true+
+delay 1+
+set frontmost of application process "Microsoft Excel" to true+
+end repeat+
+end tell+
+repeat with Counter2 from 1 to 5+
+tell application "Microsoft Excel 2004"+
activate
+end tell+
+delay 1+
+tell application "Microsoft Excel"+
activate
+end tell+
+delay 1+
+end repeat+
+tell application "Microsoft Excel 2004"+
quit
+end tell+
+tell application "Microsoft Excel"+
quit
+end tell+
Thank you both once again for taking the time and effort to contribute. Even though your suggestions did not give the results hoped for (in fact it might not even be possible to do it with AppleScript), I appreciate your efforts as I always try to learn from other people's ideas and ways of doing things.

Images with same name in different folders being swapped

I've been out at a printers freelancing and using CS6 for the first time. I've a 64 page document with a large number of images (100+) that have been given various treatments and held in folders named to identify them.
originals: sweden.jpg, germany.jpg, india.jpg…etc
saturated: sweden.jpg, germany.jpg, india.jpg…etc
greyscale: sweden.jpg, germany.jpg, india.jpg…etc
and so on. The document contains differnt combinations of these pictures, all in all I've about 1,000 image links in the document.
I opened up my document this morning and found for some reason the links to the images were broken - no idea why as no folders seem to have been moved but when I relinked to one of them - say a greyscale image - they ALL linked to the wrong set - the "saturated" ones. Looking at the image path in the links panel I see that's what's happened, ALL the link paths to ALL the images say "saturated", never mind the fact they're greyscale in the document.
So is this a known issue? At the moment I can't find any solution but to relink manually over a thousand images, which, lets face it, is a bit of a disaster for me and the job deadline.
I've used indesign for years and never come across anything even CLOSE to this sort of behaviour.

InDesign has a feature that will automatically search for other missing links when you fix a missing link. When you relinked the first of your grayscale images, you may have accidentally relinked to the saturated image. When this happened it searched the directory that the newly re-linked file was in for all the other missing files. Since your image names all matched up to images in that directory, they all got re-linked.
This auto-relink feature can be toggled in the relink dialog:
If you have a backup of your file, you can revert to that version, and try to relink your images from that one. In the future you should make sure that images all have unique identifiers, it is bad practice to have images with identical names.

Iphoto exporting images with no name and mail with no reply info

One of our Macbook pros, running osx 10.8.5, is sending email via iphoto that ,
#1) creates a photo with NO NAME that cannot be saved no matter what you do,
and
#2) the email can not be forwarded, seems like because there is not "reply to" information.
the Prefs are filled out correctly in the iPhoto email settings.
Why did they configure iphoto to do the "send" FROM iphoto in this OSX version? This worked fine before as it would open up your mail whereby you could arrange and double check things.
So i was trying to do a work around by sending the email to myself but the email and the attachment can not be forwarded. As well the image CAN NOT be dragged to the desktop to be saved. USELESS!
just a Ghost email and attachment.
very frustrating.

"404: No group with that name (wikigroupname) hosted on this server"

I am running 10.6.8 as our wiki server. After rebooting the server, one of the wiki group seems to be not accessible. When try to access the web page it gives error "404: No group with that name (wikigroupname) hosted on this server", though it still exists in /Library/Collaboration/Groups/wikigroupname
Do you know how to make it viewable again? I tried to create a new wiki "test" and then rsync /Library/Collaboration/Groups/wikigroupname to /Library/Collaboration/Groups/test, yet still can not see the old wiki group.
Thank you in advance for you help.

In all due respect Antonio, I believe that Francesc43 is fighting a flakey system. The 404 No Group is a problem that is confirmed by Apple according to others and very prevalent. At this point the only remediation appears to be a complete server rebuild and to avoid going beyond the "default" configuration for web domains.
I have personally used only the 'any domain' default config, had the server working fairly well. I then added a FQDN and the server started giving 404s for all groups which previously worked and have data in the wiki. At the same time the simple web sites worked with and without the FQDN as expected. Then removing (not disabling) the default web domain config relieved the wiki 404s. Adding a new default domain config back in (via just hitting the "+" and "Save") recreated the 404's for the previously working wikis with no change to the groups. Removing the system created default domain config it alleviated the 404s.
Adding a system generated default and a 3rd FQDN re-created the issue and then afterwords, removing all but the FQDN that worked could not alleviate the 404s. Regardless of the permutation of turning things on and off, deleting groups, removing webservices settings, putting them back in, restarting the server.. nothing. 404-DOA
While the mystery seems to be related to a very fragile relationship with DNS on the server, the solution is again to erase the disk and start over. Wikis in 10.5 thus far are neither a robust nor a stable solution from 10.5 thru 10.5.5 in my experience.

Wiki - No group with that name hosted on this server?

I tried to create a wiki for a group of users on my server. Unfortunatly I couldn't get it to work through the external website. Everytime I returns the error "404: No group with that name (team) hosted on this server". But when I went to the internal adres of the server "10.0.3.1" the wiki worked fine, although I selected the FQDN at "Enable the following services for this group on".
I searched the forums but no solution helpt. I checked the MAC address, restarted teams, restarted webservices, rebooted the server. Because nothing helpt I recreated my opendirectory database. Filled it with all users again but it still doesn't work. However, when I go to server admin and then to "Sites" all my sites are gone, although they do work, I can't edit any of the settings. In Workgroup Manager at "Enable the following services for this group on" I can only select "NONE".
It looks like Server Admin and Workgroup Manager are out of Sync and Server Admin also lost his previous settings. I tried to import an backup of the webservices, then the new sites appear for a few seconds and then disappear again.
Any advise?

It sounds like you have a DNS problem. You have one hostname/IP for the 'world' and another hostname/IP for your internal network. You need to reconcile that before you will get the wiki to work. Start with this in Terminal.app:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
Then do:
sudo hostname

Is this with the Travel database or another database?
If it's another database then make sure your columns
allow nulls. To check this in the Server Navigator, expand
your DataSource down to the column.
Select the column and view the Is Nullable property

File name replaced with Tilde (~), name already exists error

When exporting jpg files in Lightroom 4 I've recently had an issue with some of the files containing a tilde (~), the 43rd file in the series often gets it as well as a few others. So in the series one might be named 43-MA~1.jpg instead of the 43-Maegan-details.jpg that I originally named the file.
When I've tried to rename these files from the finder I get the error "name already exists". If I rename it to something totally different it works but if I then try to rename it the original filename I wanted it gives me the error again or reverts to the name with the ~.
I'm running 10.6.8, and the problem has been happening the past few weeks but I've never had the problem before. I can't figure out what is causing the problem and it's not every export but it's a huge hassle to try and rename the files.

This is the one error message that I have gotten in years with Encore. In my case, I had created a Project to be used as a "template," and had done the layout, Imported the common Assets, and then used this as the basis for a 17 DVD set, just Importing the unique Assets to each. Everything went perfectly, until disc 15. Maybe I was sloppy, as I had just completed 14 such Projects that day, but when I went to Build, I got that error. I tried un-Linking and re-Linking Assets, and checked all Menus. Nothing - just that error. Flushed Media Cache, and only the error. I posted here, with the details and asking for ideas.
In the meantime, I just grabbed my "template" Project and Imported those same, unique Assets. Used my altered Menus from bad Project and did my linking, exactly (or so I thought) as I had just done. This time, the Build was successful and # 15 thru 17 went without a hitch.
I had Saved that bad Project, and several folk offered suggestions. I tried them all, but never could get it to Build. I always got that error. I finally gave up testing and chalked it up to OE on my part, but I never figured out what I had done wrong, as I really thought that it was by the numbers.
Based on my experience, I would just start a new Project, being careful in the workflow. That was the only thing that worked for me.
Good luck,

Combing PDF forms with identical field names while retaining unique values.

I have several PDF files of the same form that has been filled out by multiple users. I need to create a combined file of all the responses for reporting purposes. However, the forms (obviously) all have the same field names, and when I combine them the values of the first form autofill the values of the matched fields on the other forms. I need a way to combine the forms while retaining the unique field values. I thought I could write a js to rename the fields, but that isn't possible.
*EDIT: The fields need to retain editability because some contain long, scrolling text. Flattening or read-only isn't an option, not that either fixes the above problem.
Suggestions?

UPDATE:
I solved this problem, at least for my own needs. Following try67's advice in a related post, I had to delete the existing fields and create new ones with new names. Given my desired outcome, this meant collecting all of the field properties of the fields (with some variation by field type), storing it, erasing the existing fields, and using that stored information to create new, identical fields (again with some variation by field type). Since I didn't want to retain actions or javascript, this was a perfect solution. I also no longer needed the buttons to function (since I wasn't retaining their javascript), so I made them read-only. I'm listing my working code below, in case anyone else could benefit from some or all of it.
My question to the community is this: Why doesn't Adobe allow for fields to be renamed via javascript? Is it a security issue? My life would have been a lot easier the last few days if I could simply rename existing fields.
The following script is used in a Combine Files action via the Action Wizard. The PDF optimizer is also used to strip out or flatten additional items.
//This script is used to rename all the fields in a document while also removing any javascript or actions associated with those fields. Makes buttons read only without renaming.
//Function to create a random alphanumeric ID.
function makeid(n) {
    var text = "";
    var possible = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
    for( var i=1; i <=n; i++ )
        text += possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));
    return text;
