Error xc3sd3400a is not a valid board name

hi all;
i work with with fpga xc3sd3400a and i want to generate the file.ace from download.bit ,so i use the xmd and i run the fllowing command makeace download but the error is occur on the xmd display :error xc3sd3400a is not a valid board name;
any one help me please ;
thinks a lot;

yes, this spartan-3a dsp board is not a targeted board for the system ace file generating from XMD command
check table 13-3 from the following link
http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xilinx14_7/est_rm.pdf
For a custom board, use the -configdevice option to specify the JTAG chain and use an OPT file which is mentioned in the above link
else if you have impact tool installed you can generate the system ace file in the gui for the device xc3sd3400a

C#: 'Not a Valid File Name' error when I know the name and link are correct.

I'm receiving "Not a valid file name" when I know I have used this link before and the filename is spelled correctly. I'm not sure if I should be looking at something else. This is my connection code. It fails on "conn.Open()".
For security reasons, I edited the link... it is not a working link for this question.

A database must be locally available via the filesystem, e.g. an UNC path would do it also.

thx, mfg iggy

Ummmm, what did you edit Xorg.conf with? It looks like there's some weird encoding or something causing it to look like "EÂxtensions" instead of "Extensions".
Maybe you could try opening xorg.conf in a basic editor like vi or nano, deleting the "EÂxtensions" bit, and just retyping it.
That's not a pro viewpoint or anything, but it could be somewhere to start.

[PL/SQL Error] ORA-01843: not a valid month, not sure how to troubleshoot

Trying to use PL/SQL to automatically create a report that show the following:

Also, I'm not doing anything with months, so I am suprised that it is throwing this type of error.
thanks

I tested a snippet of code in my production environment, just to see if I would get any results:
--registered users weekly starts
select count(*), trunc(next_day(sysdate-1, 'SUNDAY')-7), trunc(sysdate-1)
     --into v_weekly_count_total_ru, v_weekly_start_date, v_weekly_end_date
          from entities
               where list_id = 3290
               and participation_code_id = 10
               and trunc(participation_date)
               between trunc(next_day(sysdate-1, 'SUNDAY')-7) and trunc(sysdate-1);

1     09/10/2006 00:00:00     09/11/2006 00:00:00I did a double check in my test DB to make sure there is data there:
select count(*)
     from entities
          where trunc(participation_date)
          between to_date('01-08-2006','DD-MM-YYYY')
          and to_date('14-08-2006','DD-MM-YYYY')
          and list_id = 3290;
COUNT(*)
11So I'm pretty sure that I'm not pulling anything null.
thanks

Need help in understanding the error ORA-01843: not a valid month - ECX_ACT

Hello All,
We need help in understanding the Transaction Monitor -> Processing Message (error "ORA-01843: not a valid month - ECX_ACTIONS.GET_CONVERTED_DATE").
And how to enable the log for Transaction Monitor -> Processing Logfile.
Actually we are trying to import the Purchase Order XML (OAG) into eBusiness Suite via BPEL Process Manager using the Oracle Applications Adapter. The process is working fine with expected payload until it reaches the XML Gateway Transaction Monitor, where we are getting this error.

SQL execution error, ORA-01843: not a valid month

Im using ASP/VBScript and its my first time starting to use Oracle as a DB provider.
Just having an issue with a statement that I have.
Heres my statement:
SELECT T592_NOON.SHIP_CODE, T592_NOON.REPORT_DATE, T592_NOON.L_B, T592_NOON.AVERAGE_SPEED, T592_NOON.SEASTATE, T592_NOON.DISTANCE, T592_NOON.WIND_DIRECTION, T592_NOON.IFO_MAIN, T592_NOON.IFO_BOILER, T592_NOON.IFO_AUXENGINE FROM T592_NOON WHERE (((SHIP_CODE)='S271') AND (REPORT_DATE BETWEEN to_date('08/02/2004 13:00:00', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI') and to_date('28/02/2004 18:15:00', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI')))
Whenever I run it it errors and returns:
SQL execution error, ORA-01843: not a valid month
Can anyone tell why this wouldnt work?
REPORT_DATE type is DATE

Changing the format of the date seemed to fix it.
Incorrect: '08/02/2004 13:00:00'
Correct: '08-FEB-2004 13:00'

ITunes No Longer Runs--iTunes Helper Resources Not a Valid File Name

I made a dumb mistake (I think) and tried to install iTunes onto an SD card. At first, my computer would only let me open iTunes if the SD card was installed. I tried to reinstall to the C drive, but keep getting the "I Tunes Helper Resources not a Valid File Name" message. At this point I want to uninstall everything and start over, but I'm afraid I'll lose my music. I still have all the files but, of course, none will open since I don't have a properly installed iTunes anymore. Would appreciate any assistance in uninstalling, reinstalling and saving my current music files.

Here's what I decided to do. Fortunately, all the files were still available, so I simply backed them up from my iTunes Music Library onto a 32 GB flash drive then transferred the new stuff onto an older computer in my office with an older version of iTunes. I had to do this in several shifts since I have more than 32GB of music. Everything that transferred plays well. Next I'll try to wipe iTunes completely off the new computer, reinstall an older version of iTunes and then reload all the files onto the new computer. What a PITA!

Runtime Error 3031. Not a valid password

I am using VB6, DAO connection to connect to Access ACCDB file. The ACCDB file is created with password. But program hit error whenever attempt to open a db connection. The message as below. I have tested the password by directly opening the ACCDB file
in Microsoft Access. Password is correct.
The error message is runtime error 3031. Not a valid password
The code use as below
Sub OpenDB()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim ws As DAO.Workspace
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set ws = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)
Set db = ws.OpenDatabase("mydata.accdb", False, False, ";PWD=test12345")
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("house", dbOpenDynaset)
If rst.RecordCount > 0 Then
   rst.MoveLast
   MsgBox rst!address
End If
rst.Close
db.Close
End Sub

Hi Jsl,
Your code works well on my side, I can open a database with password. Below is the sample which I have tested:
Option Compare Database
Sub OpenDB()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim ws As DAO.Workspace
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set ws = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)
Set db = ws.OpenDatabase("D:\Access Files\StudentDbWithPWD.accdb", False, False, ";PWD=123")
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("ClassInfo", dbOpenDynaset)
If rst.RecordCount > 0 Then
   rst.MoveLast
   MsgBox rst!ClassName
End If
rst.Close
db.Close
End Sub
So, it is strange that it does not work for you. Can you send me a copy of your Access file to my hotmail account:
[email protected]
I will try to reproduce it on my side.

Any solution for this issue?

Syntax Error: "CS" is not a valid comparison operator.

Hi,
I am using the following query
select bukrs hkont augdt augbl zuonr gjahr
         belnr buzei xblnr budat wrbtr
from bsis
into table ts_bsis
where bukrs eq p_bukrs and
        hkont eq p_hkont and
        zuonr cs p_ebeln and
        budat in p_budat and
        blart eq c_we.
I am receiving an syntax error:
"CS" is not a valid comparison operator.
Can I use this way or not ?
I need this because ZUONR is of 16 characters and it contains PO number(10) and PO item(6) combined.
So on the selection screen if user specifies PO number range, then he should be able to get the ones that are in match.
Any other solutions are welcome.
Thank you,
Surya

Hi,
You cant use comparision operetor in select where condition.
And in your case best suggestion.....
select bukrs hkont augdt augbl zuonr gjahr
belnr buzei xblnr budat wrbtr
from bsis
into table ts_bsis
where bukrs eq p_bukrs and
hkont eq p_hkont and
***zuonr cs p_ebeln and<----comment out
budat in p_budat and
blart eq c_we.
Later loop the internal table to process on the condition with ...check ts_bsis-zuonr(10) in p_ebeln.
Like this you can make the condition.
Thanks,
Deepak.

I have a problem, i can't generate with DPS App Builder "App distribuzione.zip" to be sent to Apple to publish APP, this is the error message: is not a valid distribution certificate Apple. What do I do?

As Bern510 says, you'll need to recreate certificates that are valid. I suggest following our step-by-step publishing guide, which walks through how to obtain certificates correctly.

Intermittent errors - Invoke() could not find the Service name

Users are getting intermittent error : Invoke() could not find the Service name, when opening the Xcelsius dashboards in PRODUCTION. The dashboard has several QAAW queries .These errors are poping up intermittently.
The dashboards are hosted utside the BO environment.
BOXIR3.1
Crystal Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise

As I continue to look into it, the only thing that I see differently when I am prompted for login is that I can specify the system to log into. I am now wondering if somehow this information is being lost and that is what is causing these issues. Given that the specified name cannot be found and that it does in fact recognize the correct name, I'm not entirely sure what the problem is.
Further information:
If I disable the use of hard-coded logins and I am prompted, I can display results for the onLoad run. Yet the query is also set to refresh on 30 second intervals. On every subsequent interval I am getting this error.
I think this has something to do with sessions. How do I check which sessions exist on my box? CmcApp somewhere?
Edited by: Brian Comeau on Jun 4, 2009 12:24 AM
Checking in CmcApp I found some sessions. Here is what happens:
Login to CmcApp Sessions tab
-Administrator: 1 session at 5:45pm
Launch browser to Xcelsius .swf
Prompted for login information: Administrator/password
-Administrator: 2 sessions at 6:30pm
I had previously set the timeout for sessions in QaaWS to 120 seconds
After 2 minutes
-Administrator: 1 session at 5:45pm
Yet throughout this time, I am still given this "invoke() could not find the service name" error. The name provided "qaawsIncidents" is the same name that I can see if I launch QaaWS.
Ideas?

Import error: File is not a valid HTML DB export file

Hi,
This is driving me a bit nuts: I have made a change to a page and want to move it to another HTMLDB environment. I have 3 environments, DEV, TEST and PROD, they are all version 1.6.0.00.87. I export the page from DEV, then when I try and import it into TEST I get an error "File is not a valid HTML DB export file". The file looks OK to me, I have regenerated it several times, I have tried both DOS and UNIX formats, same result. How can I find out the root cause of this issue, I've been able to export/import individual pages without any problems up to now.
Thanks,
Steve

This was tripping me up for a while too. Make sure that the workspace id (1236351 or some such large number) is the same across all environments. You can ensure this by taking a export of the DEV workspace itself from the Admin interface (login to workspace internal) and importing it into TEST and PROD.
Once the workspace id is the same, you can export/import pages between them without a problem.
Thanks

Installation error 1325 Templates is not a valid short name

Installing the latest XE on Windows 2000 with 1 GB of RAM. I get the message 'Error 1325 Templates is not a valid short file name'. (I'm installing as administrator by the way.)
I've checked the forum and found one hit for this problem. I have been over to Microsoft.com (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=328162) and got the download for the installer clean up utility.
When I run this utility, I do not get an option to clean up Oracle XE anywhere - so I cannot proceed any further with the install.
I have had a previous version of XE installed, but I received a few errors during running of the scripts so I had to manually run the failed scripts and all was well. Unfortunately, I have had to remove it (it killed the PC as I only had 256 MB of RAM back then) but now I cannot re-install.
Anyone got any ideas about how I can get past this error please?
Thanks,
Norman.

I have finally found the solution. The problem affected all subsequent installations of any app using an MSI installer.
The registry entry for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\UserShellFolders\Templates was defined as %USERPROFILE%\Templates with a type of REG_SZ. Unfortunately, because of the %USERPROFILE% part, it should have been a REG_EXPAND_SZ to get the expansion of the environment variable.
Using REGEDT32 (Regedit doesn't allow the type to be specifically chosen) navigate to the above location and note down the Template setting. Delete the Template value. (Edit->Delete when Templates is highlighted.
Now Edit->Add Value.
Enter Templates as the name.
Choose a Type of 'REG_EXPAND_SZ'
Click OK.
Type in the value you noted down earlier, probably %USERPROFILE%\Templates
Click OK.
Check it and exit from the regedt32 app.
Now, double click on the OracleXE.exe file to install it. You do not need to be an administrator to do this.
If you do try to install as an administrator, you will have to redo all of the above because you only changed it for your own login.
Trying to Shift+Right-Click and Run as to install as an administrator will continue to give you the same error that I originally reported.
I suspect that another method of changing the registery is simply to change the %USERPROFILE% part of the original REG_SZ entry to the fully expanded path to something like c:\documents and settings\username\.
Have fun.
Cheers,
Norman.

Error - ORA-01843: NOT A VALID MONTH

I get this Error when I execute a procedure which accepts input paramters to insert into a table. I tried using TO_DATE(Input_param,'MM/DD/YY') too but it still gives me the error. Plz. Help.

> However if I make this modification in the values clause of the insert statement
and if I dont used "TO_DATE" function in the procedure call its giving me the above error.
SQL> values(
,TO_DATE(p_date,'DD/MM/YYYY'));
I'm not clear what modification you are making to what. If p_date is a DATE, there should not be a TO_DATE conversion applied to it inside the procedure - it's already a DATE.
How is your case different from the following example?
SQL> CREATE TABLE testit
2 ( id INTEGER, dateval DATE );
Table created.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE testproc
2     ( p_id INTEGER
3     , p_dateval DATE )

8 END testproc;
9 /

3 rows selected.If the procedure parameter is a DATE and the column is also a DATE, there should be no conversion involved. The "Not a valid month" error occurs when you try to convert a string to a DATE using either the wrong format or a nonsense string such as '2005-94-01'. You need to be clear what is a DATE and what is a string at each stage of processing.
Notice that the default date format can be changed:
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format = 'YYYY-MM-DD';
Session altered.
