Error when opening files using SMB server

I’m trying to download files using a Windows SMB server, but it does not work properly. I'm using a VPN connection to access the server. I already added smb protocol in my system preferences (using 'more internet'), but when I’m trying to open a file, the following error message (code 36) appears:
The Finder cannot complete the operation because some of the data in smb://........ could not be read or written.
The Console gives the following error message:
mount_smbfs: can't get server address `……:
Unknown host
mount_smbfs: can't get server address: syserr = Network is down
Does anyone know how to solve thed error? Thanx in advance!

This has been bugging me. Typically, the FileOpenClient error would include the name of the "client" referenced by the FileOpenClient parameter in the ditafm.ini file (I don't think it really does anything, but that's not the point). In this case it's not indicating the name of the client. After some testing it looks like FM10 (probably FM9 as well) prints this error along with the message about being unable to open a file. I have a feeling that it's just a bogus error message. However, the message about being unable to open the file is real.
Note that there is a difference between being unable to "open" of "locate" a file .. you'll see different messages in each condition. This (and the message from M_Boyd) are "open" errors. Off hand I don't know why. Try manually opening the file specified and see if you get any errors. I've not been able to replicate the "open" error (just a "locate" error) even when I corrupt the target file so it is invalid XML. When I do this, the xref does not properly resolve, and it *does* add significant time to the time it takes to open the referencing file .. but I'm not getting any errors written to the console for this .. strange.
Also note that the error says "Unable to resolve link" .. this means a "link" element is the referencing element, as opposed to an "xref". If it was an xref it would say "Unable to resolve xref".
Bottom line .. don't worry about the FileOpenClient error .. I think it's just bogus. But there is some reason that FM isn't able to open your referenced files. I'd strip out all of the references and start over with just one .. make sure it works before adding more. The simpler you can keep the directory structure the better.

%>
If the application runs, the Open or Save dialog box display.When I select open the file,
the dialog box will display twice.
Pls help me.
Thanks.

Win32 exception error when opening file from RH6 in RH7

I received the following error when opening a help file
(.xpj) that was developed in RoboHelp 6 in RoboHelp 7:
An unhandled win32 exception error occurred in RoboHTML.exe
[4692].
This occurred after receiving the notice to upgrade the
project since it was created in an older version. After selecting
Upgrade, I received a runtime error message prompt. After clicking
OK, I received the message above.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue so that I can open
the project without any problems in RH 7?

Thanks a lot for replying.

Yep, I just uninstalled Adobe Reader 7.0 and installed version 6.0.1. The links now work perfectly, so evidently this is a problem with Adobe Reader 7.0. I'd still like to solve the problem, though, as I really like version 7.0. (Something has finally been done about the program's lengthy start-up time!)
You can reach the PDF-Files also by using Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf. Does this link work for you?
It works perfectly.
javascript:AcrobatLink('../manuals/lvuser.pdf');
This is a call to a java script function located in pdf.js.
Other reasons:
The Active-X control of Reader 7 has a bug.
Your Internet security settings will not allow this operation. The Active-X will be loaded but will have no access to the file and yo get a wrong error message.
Fair enough. If that is indeed the case, which Internet security setting should I try changing? I haven't done anything unusual to any of those settings. And where is pdf.js located? I tried searching for it but could not find it.
Your advice is greatly apreciated.

Reproducable program locks when opening files using finders "Today" filter

Hi,
I am experiencing lockups (have to force quit the programs - which works) in different software products when I try to open files using the "Today" smartfilter from finder / the open dialogue. This wil happen when I attach files to websites using a file-input in Safari as well as with Photoshop just to name an example. It happens every time. Don't know why - and sure, I can avoid using a workflow like this - but I think this is not normal.
Anyone else experiencing these problems? Seems to be related to snow leopard since I do not remember having had these issues in the past.
The filetype does not seem to matter. It happened with PDF's, Jpg's, PSD's, etc.
Message was edited by: jmueller

RollingRocker, did you ever get a solution for this? I am having the same problem. I produce a pdf using a JSF third party api called flying saucer, which actually uses itext to produce the pdf. I can attempt to produce the same exact pdf over and over and about 85% of the time the error occurs and the rest of the time the pdf opens successfully with no error. Obviously 15% of the time the reader is completely happy with this pdf, so it is not a malicious document in any way.

Dreamweaver reports file "not found" when attempting to open files from SMB server...

User's work-files are hosted on a Windows Server 2003 SP2 volume accessed via SMB. She's been opening and saving the files from the server successfully in Dreamweaver for years from other Macs running Dreamweaver CS4.
Now she has an iMac running 10.7.4 and Dreamweaver CS6... and it's not the SMB problem you'd expect.
She mounts the server volume. She opens and saves files normally with full r/w permissions from any app... except Dreamweaver. For any file that she attempts to open in Dreamweaver -- whether from the Finder or from within Dreamweaver -- Dreamweaver pops up an alert reporting that the file at the file-path was not found. The same file is easily accessible from other apps and from the Finder. She continues to have full read/write access to the shared volume.
Local copies of the files do not have the problem. It only affects files hosted on the server and it only happens in Dreamweaver.
So, I create a new user account and everything works fine... The user mounts the sharepoint, opens a file with Dreamweaver... perfectly normal. Then she quits Dreamweaver and relaunches it... everything's fine. Repeatedly. It all works normally. She quits Dreamweaver and unmounts the share, then she mounts the share again and tries to open a file in Dreamweaver again... and it reports that the file was not found.
This is reproducible: If the server volume has been mounted and unmounted repeatedly under any user account, that triggers the error which continues occurring under that user account from that point on. A restart will not fix it. A safe-boot will not fix it. (In fact, restarting seems to trigger the problem by unmounting the volume.)
I tried trashing the entire contents of the ~/Library folder in one of the test-user accounts. It doesn't fix the problem. Once it strikes a user account, the only temporary fix seems to be using a new user account. And that's like a ticking time bomb just waiting for the problem to pop up again.
Any ideas?
TIA!!

I've seen on two computers so far. Looking at the mount point under unix, the share is being mounted at two different locations. This is normal behaviour for Macs when you mount two different shares with the same name.
From terminal I run:
df
Which returns something like
/dev/disk0s2                           1951845952 224463456 1726870496    12%    /
devfs                                         360       360          0   100%    /dev
map -hosts                                      0         0          0   100%    /net
map auto_home                                   0         0          0   100%    /home
//[email protected]/website 204360384 38067872 166292512    19%    /Volumes/website
//[email protected]/website 204360384 38067872 166292512    19%    /Volumes/website-1
map -fstab                                      0         0          0   100%    /Network/Servers
Notice that the share "website" has been mounted once as website, and again as website-1. This is the underlying unix name for the share, which is how most programs (99% sure including Adobe suite products) will reference files. So, if it thinks that the file is at /Volumes/website/site/index.html but can only see /Volumes/website-1/ then it doesn't know what to do.
The confusion arises because both will show in Finder as "website". Even more annoying is that Finder does not always unmount shares correctly, so that /Volumes/website might not be accessible but /Volumes/website-1 will be. As far as the user is concerned, the share "website" is still mounted, but as far as Dreamweaver is concerned, it isn't, although website-1 is.
It's the same share, same data, but is being referenced by different names, so does not seem accessible.
BUT
I don't have a solution yet, apart from force unmounting both (or rebooting), remounting, and checking that Dreamweaver is using the right share (perhaps by removing and readding from within Dreamweaver).
Tedious.

Open hub error when generating file in application server

Hi, everyone.
I'm trying to execute an open hub destination that save the result as a file in the application server.
The issue is: in production environment we have two application servers, XYZ is the database server, and A01 is the application server. When I direct the open hub to save file in A01 all is working fine. But when I change to save to XYZ I´m getting the following error:
>>> Exception in Substep Start Update...
Message detail: Could not open file "path and file" on application server
Message no. RSBO214
When I use transaction AL11, I can see the file there in XYZ filesystem (with data and time correspondent to execution), but I can´t view the content and size looks like be zero.
Possible causes I already checked: authorization, disk space, SM21 logs.
We are in SAP BW 7.31 support package 6.
Any idea what could be the issue or where to look better?
Thanks and regards.
Henrique Teodoro

Hi, there.
Posting the resolution for this issue.
SAP support give directions that solved the problem. No matter in which server (XYZ or A01) I logon or start a process chains, the DTP job always runs in A01 server, and it causes an error since the directory doesn´t exist in server XYZ.
This occurs because DTP settings for background job was left blank. I follows these steps to solve the problem:
- open DTP
- go to "Settings for Batch Manager"
- in "Server/Host/Group on Which Additional Processes Should Run" I picked the desired server
- save
After that, no matter from where I start the open hub extraction, it always runs in specified server and saves the file accordingly.
Regards.

Lion Preview and Textedit very slow when opening files from Leopard Server

My small office (about 10 users) recently upgraded our iMac's, Mac Mini's, and Macbook Pro's. We are experiencing a big problem with Preview opening super slow (1-2 minutes) when trying to open JPG's, PDF's, etc from our 10.5.8 Leopard Server. We have deleted numerous plist files related to Preview, completely deleted Preview.app from one iMac and reinstalled it via Pacifist and still no change in performance. One of the new iMac's does open much faster than the others, but we cannot figure out why this one machine works well and the others don't.
All machines are showing the below error (dozens of times) in Console when trying to open files directly from the server...
sandboxd: ([###]) Preview(###) deny system-fsctl
We have searched the internet for a solution but have not come up with anything that works. This problem exists with Textedit as well. We did try opening a file from one Lion machine to the other and it opened very fast. We also can open files very quickly from older 10.4.11 Tiger machines directly from the server. So the best we can determine right now is Lion and Leopard Server are not playing nicely together.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"Enable Related Files" isn't the fix for this issue. It's slightly different - I wanted to still load related files, but only the ones local to the file I was editing.
The fix was to use DW's Resolve To IP Address feature. It required adding a registry value - it fixed the issue straight away

On linux, Acrobat Reader will not open files on SMB server

I try double clicking a file on a network SMB server in Nautilus on Ubuntu and Acrobat reader starts but does not open the file.
What's going on?
Alex

Hi Alex, Just for confirmation, have you opened the Windows share in Nautilus directly i.e. using URL of the form smb://<server-name>/<share-name>/ and then trying to open the PDF file by double-clicking? If that is the case, it is a known issue. In the meantime, one way to open the PDF file (if you have sufficient privileges) would be to mount the SMB share, open the share (from the mount point) in Nautilus and then try to open the PDF by double-clicking? Could you please try this and let us know if there are any issues with this? Thanks for the feedback, Varun

Error when generating file on the server

Hello Gurus,
I have a program created ABAP he reads the attributes of a property, and creates a file hierarchy to load in another feature. The story is that when you try to create the file with the instruction:
open dataset p_fiche for output in text mode encoding default.
I am giving this error, that can not generate the file.
Sy-subrc = 8. At first thought it was because they had no authorization to create files in the path specified, but if I have permission and do not understand it is because the cause of this error.
Someone can help me?
Greetings,

In ur case sy-subrc = 8 means 'Operating system could not open file'
. Use addition MESSAGE msg with ur OPEN DATASET statement to know the exact reason for this error.
Regards,
Joy.

Error when opening BIDS 2005 - SQL Server 2005 - Urgent to solve

Hi,
today I've a problem when I try to launch the BIDS 2005: an error message says that isn't possible to find a component and says to reinstall the application. I cannot any records inside the event viewer that could help me. The SQL Server 2005 build is 9.00.5069.00.
BIDS 2005 is installed on my machine that has Windows 7 64-bit. Moreover I've also SQL Server 2008 R2 and BIDS 2008 R2: I cannot open also this tool for the same error.
Any suggests to me, please?
Thanks

Hi Pscorca,
According to your description, you cannot start Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) in SQL Server 2005 and 2008 with the error "isn't possible to find a component and says to reinstall the application". As per my understanding, the issue
can be caused by some SQL Server files were corrupted. It's hard to give you the root reason that cause this issue based on the limited information.
In your scenario, please drive the BIDS installation folder (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2), try to open BIDS and check if this issue persists or not. Besides, you can try to repair SQL Server
installation using stepup.exe.
Hope this helps.
