ERROR with CX_SY_ARITHMETIC_OVERFLOW and RAISING clause (for Consolidation)

Hello,
When we run the Consolidation several times on the same data range several times the tool adds the results, so we need to execute in a single package a CLEAR data, the Currency Conversion and the Consolidation.
Our package launches a ScriptLogic  with the following code:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET C_ACCT=<all>
*XDIM_MEMBERSET FLOW=<all>
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME= %TIME_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET GROUPS= %GROUPS_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET C_CATEGORY=%C_CATEGORY_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ENTITY=<ALL>
*XDIM_MEMBERSET C_DATASRC = <ALL>
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CECO = <ALL>
*XDIM_MEMBERSET INTCO = <ALL>
*WHEN GROUPS
*IS <>"LC", "EUR"
     *WHEN C_DATASRC
     *IS <>"INPUT","T_MAN"
          //Here, we need an instruction to erase the data
          *REC(FACTOR=-1,
                    TIME="%TIME_SET%",
                    GROUPS="%GROUPS_SET%",
                    C_CATEGORY="%C_CATEGORY_SET%")
     *ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
*INCLUDE FXTRANS.LGF
*INCLUDE CONSOLIDATION.LGF
And when we run the package we get the following error:
An exception with the type CX_SY_ARITHMETIC_OVERFLOW occurred, but was neither handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING clause
Overflow in the operation *
On the one hand, we want to solve the issue and, second, Is it normal that the tool accumulates the results when we run several times the consolidation?
Best regards,
Miguel.

  • I use a Win7 PC with iCloud and Outlook 2010 for syncing my calendar and contacts. I can enter data in my Outlook Calendar and it will appear in iCloud, but data entered in iCloud does not sync back to Outlook.  ICloud syncs to my iphone fine both ways.

    I use Win 7 PC with iCloud and Outlook 2010 for syncing my Contacts and Calendar.  They have stopped syncing...mostly.
    Now, appointments I enter on my local Outlook (iCloud) Calendar goes up to iCloud fine.  But, data I enter on iCloud directly does not come down to my local Outlook iCloud Calendar.  If I reboot the computer, the iCloud data shows up.
    Also, Contacts I try to enter on my Outlook (iCloud) Contacts goes up to iCloud fine, but does not show up in my local iCloud Contacts.
    All syncing works with my iPhone.
    I have signed out of iCloud on PC.  I have stopped syncing and re-started.  No change.
    I have an .aplzod folder for iCloud.  I have a separate Earthlink.net.pst email account in Outlook and a me.com.pst Outlook email account (which I don't actually use) listed under Data Files.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Curious that Outlook will upload to iCloud but not receive downloads unless I reboot.  However, rebooting does not download the missing Contacts.
    Jim Robbins

    Hi Jim!
    You've started off with some good troubleshooting steps, so let's see if we can take this a little further and figure out what the issue is with your iCloud contacts and calendars. I have two articles here that will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further, but the troubleshooting steps for both articles are exactly the same, so I will lay those out for you here:
    Note: When using iCloud Control Panel 2.0 and later, iCloud Calendar event descriptions in Outlook 2010 do not support text formatting (bold, italics, or underline), HTML, images, or attachments. The contextual (right-click) menu has also been disabled.
    If you are having trouble with a PC (with Outlook 2007 or 2010) and iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
    Verify that you are using a Windows configuration that is supported by iCloud. For more information, see iCloud system requirements.
    When enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel, part of the setup process is to copy your Calendars data from the default Outlook ".pst" file to iCloud, and then remove the Calendars from the ".pst" file by placing them in the Deleted Items folder in Outlook. The Calendars data is then stored in the iCloud data set within Outlook so that changes can be pushed to and from Outlook by iCloud. Be sure you are looking for your data within the iCloud dataset within Outlook after enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel. The deleted files can be seen by viewing Deleted Items within your Outlook Folder List. This is not iCloud removing your data; iCloud simply copies your data into the iCloud data set and then removes the local Calendars data by placing it in the Deleted Items folder.
    Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Outlook. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
    Open a secure website to test if you are online as is necessary for iCloud Calendar. This also tests if the ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud in order to push and pull updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
    Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Control Panel pane. See iCloud Setup for more information about setting up iCloud on Windows.
    Completely close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
    If you recently made changes in Outlook and they are not moving to your other devices or vice-versa, click the Refresh button in Outlook.
    Turn iCloud Calendar off and back on:
    Close Outlook.
    Open the Windows Control Panel:
    In Windows 8, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
    In Windows 7 and Vista, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
    Remove the checkmark in the checkbox next to Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks, and click Apply. Wait a few seconds, then replace the checkmark, and click Apply.
    Open Outlook and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
    Ensure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook.
    Outlook 2010:
    Open Outlook 2010.
    Click the File menu.
    Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
    Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
    Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
    For Outlook 2007, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active
    Open Outlook 2007.
    From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
    Select Add-ins from the left column.
    Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
    For additional information about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook, see this Microsoft support document.
    Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.

  • Carrying forward accounts with value as '0' (zero) for consolidation

    Hi,
    I have a query regarding carrying forward accounts with value as '0' (zero) for consolidation. Actually when there is any account having zero value then on calculating contribution the value is carried only to Parent Currency Total dimension. After proportion level the value for that account becomes null. Can anyone suggest if there is a way where i can carry the value 'zero' till value dimension "Contribution Total".
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    couldn't you do a rule that copies from PCT to proportion level ( either this level or one above that lets you have rule input)

  • [SOLVED] errors with fdisk and cryptsetup; is my drive going bad?

    I'm having issues with re-formatting an external hard drive using dm-crypt. It was previously formatted with TrueCrypt/NTFS, which I used as a shared backup drive between Windows and Arch. At some point, it stopped being able to mount, which I attributed to allowing Windows to "fix" it after improper dismount (e.g. a hard kill).
    I decided to re-format with ext4 and only use it from Arch, but now I'm wondering if I may have a hardware issue with the drive. I've tried a lot more (like going through the full zero write after mounting the drive as a temporary dm-crypt device), but here's the condensed version to illustrate the problem.
    system info
    This is on a fresh boot. Just adding that as I've had issues with kernel modules after updating if a new kernel comes through. A fresh boot removes that potential issue.

    Things also tend to hang with respect to the drive at this point. For example, fdisk -l spits out /dev/sda partitions immediately and then just hangs instead of printing out /dev/sdb info, then eventually quits (without ever writing it).
    Any suggestions on where to look/how to troubleshoot? I found some possibly related posts, but nothing that looks promising:
    - Impossible to crypt the drive using cryptsetup (fixed by rebooting)
    - cryptsetup fails to open Udev cookie 0xd4d94f5 (semid 0) waiting for z (no responses; the hang after seems similar)
    There's a couple odds and ends references to cryptsetup 1.6.6 having issues. I downloaded 1.6.4-1 and 1.6.5-1 and -2 from ARM to try, but wanted to post this in the meantime in case something stuck out.

    @qinohe I thought of that and the other day started formatting with mkfs.ext4; unfortunately, it was at work and I had to leave before I could let it finish. It had been chugging along a good few hours, and I was surprised it would take that long. I was able to format it with ext4 using Windows 7 (I dual boot) with the MiniTool Partition Wizard but I didn't use it like that before trying to solve the cryptsetup issue again.
    This last time around, I was getting unresponsive behavior. I think I need to reboot each time I try something with cryptsetup, as any commands related to that drive seem to hang afterwards (fdisk, umount, eject, mkfs, or trying crypsetup again). Perhaps I'll just let it cook overnight with mkfs and see if I can at least have an unencrypted, but functional drive.
    One interesting tidbit is that even though cryptsetup fails, when I've tried to issue mkfs afterward, it asks me to confirm that I want to format the disk since it has a LUKS header... so something appears to have been written. Is it possible the header is causing some issues? I don't know much about the structure of a disk (like what range the MBR resides in, what constitutes a header, etc.) but have been wondering if there's some way to start really, really clean with the disk. Like I'd just bought it -- something appears to be lingering around from previous efforts?
    @frostschutz I'll check tomorrow. That's a good question. Just checked journalctl and here are some of the errors that appear; unfortunately, I wasn't watching so I can't tell you what matches up with what command:

    May 23 09:32:18 arch_840 kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] tag#0 uas_eh_abort_handler 0 uas-tag 1 inflight: CMD OUT
    I paged down quite a ways and those seem like the unique messages when I search the journal for "sdb". Anything stand out? I will say that the same sector numbers appeared in multiple blocks of the third error type listed, so that makes me wonder if something is genuinely wrong with the disk. I'll post the output of the full smartctl scan when I hopefully run it tomorrow.
    Thanks for chiming in!

  • [Partially Solved] Error with bsdtar and symbolic links

    I'm trying to install a package (asymptote) from AUR but am running into an odd error.  During the extract phase I get errors like
    asymptote-1.70/base/asy-keywords.el: Can't update time for asymptote-1.70/base/asy-keywords.el: Function not implemented
    bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
    I found a post that may help: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50750.  Do I really have to do this?
    By the way, I too am running on a Linode (Xen virtualization).
    Thanks,
    Luis

    I have not got to the bottom of my problems with bsdtar and symlinks.  I suspect it must have something to do with either my configuration (derived from the Arch image provided by Linode) or running under virtualisation.
    However, others might find my work-around useful, so I document it below.
    I downloaded asymptote from AUR using wget ("wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/asymptote/asymptote.tar.gz"), unpacked it, then patched the PKGBUILD
    $ diff -u PKGBUILD.orig PKGBUILD

  • Error with calculations and printing output

    Been a few months since I did any kind of java programming and cannot seem to figure out what is wrong with my program. It gives me an error with rentalCost when it goes to printout the value, does not seem calculate the values, and does not print any of the things I call for at the end. Maybe I need a seperate class or the if/else statements are wrong. The point of the program is for fun, but is to calculate the cost for a cabin based on certain coniditions the user inputs. Any help would be much appreciated. NOTE: There are no comments yet due to I put them in after I finish the program.

    At the very least you need to tell us what you expected this code to do and what it actually did...

  • Got a new iPad and set up to sync with iCloud and now asking for password which I never set. How do I get on device if I don't know what it thinks password is?

    Help.  I just got a new iPad 2 and set up sync with iCloud and no password.  Now asking for a password and I never set one up.  What password does it want: iTunes, iPhone (no real password there either).  Tried as many passwords as I could think with the iPad locking me out since I don't have the password!  Would like to use the iPad but can't get on to try it.
    Thanks.

    So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
    Yes...  sorry.
    In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free  >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless  >  Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

  • MSI X58 boards bad chipset cooling - with proof and fix proposed for high IOH

    Hello,
    First of all I like MSI boards this is not an anti marketing thread. I own one and with a FIX I don't regret buying it.
    I will go straight to the point, the cooling of chipsets on the MSI Eclipse/PRO is totally disastrous. Here is the proof :
    Since we see this problem all around, and never "good" response from tech support, here it is - in color. You can't deny it.
    I will stay with constructive remarks - the TIM or thermal paste violet is dry and hard as rock ! The bolts are not strong enough also, and doesn't center the heatsink firmly on the north bridge. So if for everyone with high temps of IOH this is why. Please stop telling us that from Intel spec it is OK since it's specified to go up to 100°C. Mine was about >85°C and after a replacement it is under 50°C. Heat causes instabilities and long term wear damage to any chip.
    It is a problem of engineering. Bad TIM was selected. MSI will not admit it since it will cost too much to take back all theese boards.
    Heat dissipation is so bad as if there were no heatsink on the chip.
    Nothing is perfect, if it was MSI would send me a free tube of MX2  
    MSI Eclipse SLI FIX - will work for other models certainly
    Needed :
    Thermal Paste - Arctic Cooling MX2 (Non conductive, long run, one of the best)
    Optional :
    Heatsink - Thermalright HR-05 / IFX
    Tighter bolts, plastic screws.
    How to:
    -You need to take off the heatsink that cover both northbridge aka IOH and southbridge.
    -The heatsink "DrMOS" over VRMs doesn't get that hot. The TIM on it is like straps and doesn't really require replacement.
    If you don't have tighter bolts or screws, you can use existing and add some rings on it to heighten the pressure that will need the heatsink. Warning : If you use metal screws be sure to use a spring or it may do serious damage to the chip.
    -Apply a small amount but enough of thermal paste to cover the violet rectangle of both heatsinks. Replace them on the board.
    How to (with heatsink replacement) :
    Your IOH will go down 40°C. Yes you've read right.
    -With this method either you need A) to loose one part of the heatsink, B) or loose two SATA ports and will not be able to use SLI with long cards but for majority of people it will be fine and provide tremendous cooling performance to south bridge also. You can also buy a second heatsink if you wish to keep original untouched but I couldn't find any that would suits the board dimensions or provide improvements for the southbridge.
    A)If you don't care about the original heatsink, you will need to cut the two heatpipes. Cut it near the southbridge. It doesn't need high cooling as IOH. Apply thermal paste to it and install the new Thermalright heatsink on the northbridge chipset.
    B)You will need to bend the heatsink ! It seems extreme but well works in fact. Bend it towards you and try doing it gentle so it is exactly at 90° angle :
    -Before installing it, clean the small heatsink of the old violet "thermal paste". Apply the new thermal paste on the chipset. Now we can install the heatsink but upside down. It seems extreme again but it exactly fits. It won't apply weight pressure on the board since it touch the plastic IDE connector. Warning : be sure, absolutely sure that the heatsink doesn't touch any electrical components.
    -Mount the Thermalright IFX and your done.
    Here are picture of the final board, and with a mounted system :
    (Clic on pics if you need high resolution picture)
    The case is an Antec 1200. With modified +5V voltage on fans and with lowspeed enermax fan on processor it is whisper quiet.
    Temperatures with overclocked BCLK at 175 MHz :
    Idle/Load : IOH : 45°C / 50°C
    Idle/Load : System : 35°C / 39°C
    Idle/Load : CPU avg : 38°C / 67°C
    Now this board is a jewel - impressive low power consumption, very high overclocking capability, stability.
    Please MSI, fix your TIM and retention system. Maybe for the new eclipse will it be good ?
    I hope this thread has cleared some questions and helped.

    hi guys , just an add on to evr999 thread, ive also now changed both n/s bridge heatsinks, with excellant results some pictures for you all to look at.

  • Check battery error with new and old batteries.

    I came back from vacation last month, and the battery on my late 2006 Macbook would not charge. The Apple store said the magsafe connector was bad, and replaced it for $98. The next day I had the same problem, and when I took it back they said that now it was the logic board. None of the "geniuses" had any idea what was the failure was just swap parts until it works. I now have the "Check Battery" condition, and no idea what that means. I am sure that if I take it back to the Apple store they will say buy a new $100 battery, after all this one has three cycles on it! Dose anyone know what Check Battery means, and what conditions set this message, and how to clear it?

    Thanks Carolyn. It appears that battery condition is set during a recalabrate only. It would be nice if Apple would produce a “white paper” on battery management for Li-ion batteries. There are no significant “trade secretes” in the management software that have not been reverse engineered long ago. Information as to what Recalibrating really does when it “Recalibrates”. What it means when Apple says the design life is 300 charge cycles. Information about how battery life is a statistical function, and may fail at 150 cycles, or may go 1000. What information the battery sends to the computer, and what the computer sends back. This would help eliminate the many posts on these forums, and people getting frustrated with the lack of information from Apple.
