External Timer Event

I want to Schedule a process exceution at defined time intervals. Is there a Timer Event available in the BPEL Engine that can be configured through a admin console (or similiar interface) so that I can schedule this job?
I checked onAlarm and I guess it supports only one time execution.
If BPEL engine does not provide the external timer my other options are to used a job schedular?
Thanks,
A

I have the same problem. The bpel spec says that processes instances can only be started with messages. I could not find an external Timer Event in the samples, for instance some java code that can be run in the app server sending such timer events to a bpel process.

To transfer time events from external time recording system to sap r/3

hi all,
I have a task to make an interface program between external time recording and sap r/3, and then to transfer the time events from that external system to sap system with the help of an rfc, i have got some information like the data first has to be transferred to the table CC1TEV and then from this table the data will be uploaded to 2011 infotype with the help of a standard program, but i am unable to find a solution for making the interface program and the RFC or BAPI which will transfer the records from external system.
if anybody has any information on this plz help me out to solve this problem.

Which recorgding terminals using to capture time events? They should have give some guidelines about this?

Synchronizing IPCC server's time with an external time source

We have a IPCC server (CRS 4.0.3) running on a Windows Server 2000 SP4 platform. The server is working along with a Callmanager 4.1(3) in a WORKGROUP environment and there’s no domain. The clock on the IPCC server is recently acting very weirdly (back and forth by 10 - 30 minutes!) and I was wondering how can i change the time source provider for IPCC server to use a reliable external time server available on internet (or even use our local router).
Any input on this issue is appreciated in advance!

Ok. Let's clear things up.
Problem:
Network Time Protocol service stops in Callmanager 4.1.3 (Windows Server 2000 SP4) after configured to use it's local router as it's upstream time provider as indicated in this document (by configuring "ntp.conf" file): http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_tech_note09186a008009470f.shtml
Here is the error which is loged in windows event viwer:
Time correction of -3619 seconds exceeds sanity limit (1000); set clock manually to the correct UTC time.
Why? 3619 seconds is almost 1 hour but the time on the server and on the router is correct! Could it be something related to DST problem with this box?
Note: DST is not working correctly on this machine and whenever it starts or ends we manually set the clock ahead or behind. We've also left "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" unchecked due to this problem.
This beahvir of callmanager is causing trouble for our contact center as well because IPCC server is configured to sync it's time from Callmanager using it's own "ntp.conf" file
Any idea?

Alignment of external MIDI events and audio

Hi,
I've been doing some careful measurements of the timing of MIDI events under Logic 8.0.2. I record a lot of external MIDI hardware, so the timing of external MIDI events and its relation to recorded audio is very important to me.
My setup is OS X 10.5.5, Logic 8.0.2., all relevant patches and updates. I'm using an RME fireface 800 as both the audio and MIDI interface in these examples.
I've created a project in which there is no plug-in of any kind: neither instrument nor effect. Even the klopgeist is gone.
My preferences settings:
Audio/Devices:
buffer=1024 samples
sw monitoring=off
indep mon level=off
I/O safety buffer=off
Audio/General:
PDC=Off (I also measured with PDC=all, to verify that it has no effect)
low latency mode=off
I create an external MIDI track of quantized whole notes: C3, playing on the first tick of each bar. BPM is 120.
I then create another external MIDI track, cable MIDI OUT to MIDI IN on the Fireface, and record the first MIDI track onto the second (i.e., loopback test). The note data is right on the money; within one tick of the original values. I set PDC to all, repeat the test, same result.
I then cable MIDI out on the Fireface to a hardware synth, and call up a patch with a sharp attack. I route the audio output of the synth to an audio input of the Fireface. I create an audio track with this input selected, and record the output of the synth. The recorded audio is early by 20ms or so -- roughly equivalent to the buffer size.
I repeat the test with PDC set to All, same result. PDC has no effect, as you would expect, as there are no plug-ins in this project.
I then set Preferences/MIDI/Sync/All MIDI Output delay to 21ms. I repeat the audio recording test, and now the recorded events are on the money.
Here are my questions. First, am I doing something wrong, or does Logic have a fundamental bug concerning the linkage between MIDI timing and audio timing?
It seems clear to me that this timing error has nothing to do with PDC. There is no "P". Right?
I thought that the RME has timestamped MIDI. The RME manual speaks of very accurate MIDI timing, and I can verify that the MIDI jitter of the Fireface is indeed low, in the 1ms neighborhood. This is borne out by the MIDI loopback test I did above. But MIDI timestamps don't mean anything if they are not correlated to the time code of the audio, haha! What am I missing here?
If timestamping the MIDI data can't work for some reason, could this problem not be solved by having Logic automatically delay the transmission of external MIDI data by an amount equal to the audio buffer size? Put differently, my solution to this problem is to set a MIDI output delay in preferences equal to the audio buffer size, i.e., 21.3ms. And this seems to work. Is that a proper solution, and if so, why does Logic not do such a thing automatically?
Thanks,
-Luddy

OK, so I just retested and here is the best part... I recorded a loop from my drum machine, cut the first note nicely to the 1 on the first bar... using a count in etc.
I played it back and looped outs 3-4 back into 1-2 on my Ensemble. I also played back the same kick on my drum machine just to check this reverse latency issue. I was not concerned with hit for hit layering accuracy. What I got back astounds me!
The "loopback" recording was spot on to the original being played out... totally locked. BUT, the one that was midi clocked by Logic and play from my drum machine came in ahead of the 1??? How is this possible when I am hearing it when monitoring this recording and it is slightly behind? RIDICULOUS! What does this mean?
Logic is NOT recording what I am hearing, but rather recording some timewarped version of it in which it places events ahead of when they happened, but ONLY on midi clocked or midi sent notes!
I have lurked here a long time and I know that there is not much known here about this issue, so before anyone tells me the typical solution I will say as I did in my last post:
I have done a ton of tests like this, I also followed the loopback testing as described on Logicprohelp.com.
Yes I tried it with all PDC modes, SW monitoring on AND off.
I am truly beginning to think that this is a major bug of some sort.
Anyone else out there with hardware that reports latency to Logic (RME, Metric Halo, and Apogee stuff are ones I know that do this) experiencing this abberation?
thanks

CATS viz Time Recording in Time events IT 2011

Hi Experts
Need some urgent guidance. We are using punch cards to record timing. I understand that time recording machine will upload the records in Time event IT 2011.
On the other hand we have requirement where the real time should be there in CATS for employees so that PS can use for project planning and posting.
Presently we have time admin those manually key in time recording data in Cats but going forward we use time cards to record time.
How we can go ahead where we can use time machine to record also plus it uploads the time entries in cats.
Will appreciate your response on this.
Regards

Hi,
Time recorded from the external systems can be obtained as a text file and will be uploaded to CATS using a customized program designed by ABAPers.

W32time /monitor when syncing time in in PDC from external time servers

Hi,
I have moved the PDC to a new DC in our lab environment (from 2003 to 2012r2).
Computers and domain controllers are syncing time from the PDC and the PDC is syncing time from external servers. This is working according to event log in PDC and computers.
But, when running w32tm /monitor on the PDC it says:
dc01 ***PDC *** ....
ICMP 0ms delay
ntp +0.000 offset from dc01
ref id: (unknown) [0x5c089E0a]
What does the hex code says in this context "ref id: (unknown) [0x5c089E0a]"? I expected the external time server here.
When running w32tm /query /peers it lists the two time servers that we use:
Peer: 10.158.x.x
State Active
Peer: 10.159.x.x
State active.
Is the 0x... as ref id normal? What is that refering to?
Thanks,
Oskar

ref id: (unknown) [0x5c089E0a] is still present after running the commands:
net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /register
net start w32time
and then reconfiguring for external time source.
This must be a presentation error in Server 2012 R2. If running w32tm /monitor on a server 2003 dc instead of 2012 r2 dc it is presenting
ref id: (unknown) [10.158.x.x] instead of ref
id: (unknown) [0x5c089E0a].
Also, if running w32tm /query /configuration and looking at the field type it says:
Type: NTP (Local)
NTPServer: 10.158.x.x 10.159.x.x (local) which means that it is synching externally. This is also shown in the event logs.
Do you agree this is only a presentation issue?

Logical time in deleted time events - RPUAUD00

Dear All,
We are using standard report RPUAUD00 to read deleted time events (Infotype 2011) from system. In certain cases, deletion entries are displayed without any entry for field LTIME (Logical Time). Can any one throw some light, as of why and how this LTIME entry is not logged in change log?
Thank you.

I have an external Time Machine drive that I want to reformat. I can't remember the password. How can I do this. Disk Utility won't let me. Thanks.

I have an iMac that had drive problems last winter. Took the iMac to the Apple Store and they reinstalled everything and now it works again. Only thing is that my external Time Machine drive is screwed up now. Its 1.5 TB.
I had the Time Machine drive partioned into two parts. One partion was for an emergency bootup using carbon copy cloner. That partion I can open and mounts on my desktop. The other partion was Time Machine. It once upon a time opened and mounted without a password.
It requests a password to unlock even though I never had it password protected before the iMac drive problems. And so now it won't mount the drive.
I can go to Disk Utilities and I can see Time Machine with both partions. The Carbon Copy partion is mounted. The Time Machine partion is not mounted. For this reason I can't select it and erase it.
What the heck am I supposed ot do now to erase it and start over. Any help would be appreciated. I really don't want to go and buy another drive.

Looping through inbox items on timer event is really slow...?

Hi,
I have an issue with a email sync event that I am running. Essentially, I am given a date (the received date of the last email synced) via another process and then need to return all the emails in the user's inbox the where receivedDate > this given
date.
I have a timer object than triggers my sync event every 15 mins. I also have a button that allows the user to manually activate the sync - this basically changes the timer to 3 secs and so it fires the sync event.
If the sync event is fired manually as per above, it loops through everything quite quickly (~12,000 emails in 30 secs) and I can stored the sender/recipient and received time data I require from these in a list of objects, which I sync later on in a background
process. During this loop the main UI freezes up, which is fine since I show a progress bar so the user knows how long they need to wait, and a large sync like this should only occur on their first sync theoretically. If the first sync event is
fired without the manual input - so still called from the same timer event, but just on the normal 15 min event, not the shortened 3 sec one - then it runs differently. The sync takes a lot lot longer, and the UI doesn't freeze up.
I presume this might be because it is fired slightly differently and does not hog up the main thread, but rather shares it with normal Outlook operations. Maybe the operations are being run on a background thread and then keep having to jump into the
main thread to access the email items...? Either way, I'm not quite sure how this is happening since the only difference is the user pressing a button that changes the timer.interval. The code that is run is the same, and the button press doesn't
trigger the actual sync itself.
Is there a way I can force this first sync to always run solely in the main thread, it can freeze up Outlook and show the progress bar until it is done? Ideally any subsequent syncs would then be run with no progress bar and no freezing up of the UI.
Many thanks,
Tom

Hello Tom,
> Maybe the operations are being run on a background thread and then keep having to jump into the main thread to access the email items...?
You shouldn't use another threads when dealing with the Outlook object model. Office applications use the single threaded apartment (STA) model and don't support multithreading. All calls made from another threads are marshalled by Outlook to the main
thread. However, you can use a low-level code (Extended MAPI) to access the data from secondary threads. For example, you can use Redemption which is based on Extended MAPI.
> it loops through everything quite quickly (~12,000 emails in 30 secs)
Instead of looping over all items in the folder I'd recommend using the
Find/FindNext
or
Restrict methods of the Items class. You can read more about them in the following articles:
How To: Use Find and FindNext methods to retrieve Outlook mail items from a folder (C#, VB.NET)
How To: Use Restrict method to retrieve Outlook mail items from a folder
You can use the System.Windows.Forms.Timer class which uses the main thread for invoking the Tick event. The .NET
Framework Class Library provides three different timer classes: System.Windows.Forms.Timer, System.Timers.Timer, and System.Threading.Timer. Each of these classes has been designed and optimized for use in different situations. The Comparing
the Timer Classes in the .NET Framework Class Library article examines the three timer classes and helps you gain an understanding of how and when each class should be used.
Also you may find the
AdvancedSearch method of the Application class helpful. Pay special attention to the fact that the search is performed in another thread. You don’t need to run another thread manually since the
AdvancedSearch method runs it automatically in the background. See
Advanced search in Outlook programmatically: C#, VB.NET for more information.

External time machine drive no longer being automatically recognized

Recently my RMBP has stopped recognizing my external time machine drive. When ever I connect my 1 TB WD drive to my mac, it shows up on my desktop as usually but will not get recognized by time machine. I used to be able to connect the drive, have it show up on my desk with the orange USB logo, and then it would be auto recognized and the time machine logo would appear on it and it would start backing up. Now, I connect it and it just stays at the orange USB logo. I have to go to the time machine menu bar icon and open time machine's preferences and manually select the drive to get it to back up. This happens both on battery power and while I'm charging. I have already verified the disk in disk utility and have repaired as well. I don't recall when this started happening. I was running the 10.9.4 beta before its public release, but it hadn't been working before I upgraded to that either.

This simple procedure will clear your Time Machine settings, including exclusions. The backups won't be affected. If you have a long exclusion list that can't be recreated easily, you may prefer a more complicated procedure that preserves the exclusion list. In that case, ask for instructions. Otherwise, do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file selected. Copy the file to the Desktop. Then move it (the original, not the copy) to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Restart the computer and recreate your settings in the Time Machine preference pane. It will show that you have no backups. Don't worry; your backups haven't been touched. Run a backup to test. The backup may take much longer than usual. If TM now performs as expected, delete the file you copied to the Desktop.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

My MacBook pro won't recognize hard drive I put in it. It boots only to a white screen unless I boot to my recovery USB. If I do that then I can select my USB and my external time machine drive in the disk utility, so no problems there. But what do you

My MacBook pro won't recognize hard drive I put in it. It boots only to a white screen unless I boot to my recovery USB. If I do that then I can select my USB and my external time machine drive in the disk utility, so no problems there. But what do you think it is? It won't recognize any hard drive I put in the machine, so might it be the sata cable?

Boot the Recvoery USB, use Disk Utility to select the internal drive makers namea and size on the left.
Now select erase and select the midde option and click erase, it will take a bit to complete but it's best for the drive.
Now select Partiton tab, click the big box and Options: GUID and then Format: OS X Extended journaled and click apply.
Quit and you should be able to install OS X now with your Apple ID and password.

Multiple entries in TEVEN for one time event created by HR-PDC

Hi experts,
we have a SAP certified time attendance system connected to our ERP 6.0 system by HR-PDC interface.
Now it happens from time to time that exactly one time event causes multiple entries in SAP table TEVEN and therefore is shown in the check report PT40.
The number of duplicate records is always different - up to about 140 entries for one and the same time event in the worst case.
Except the field PDSNR all the other fields contain exactly the same values.
I have checkt many of the problematic bookings and I have always just one correct time event in the source application and there is only one data record in the corresponding IDOC too.
Also the number of transferred records shown in the protocol spool of the report SAPCDT45 is correct and identical to the number of records in the IDOC.
The first place where I can identify the problem with the duplicate records is the table TEVEN.
No records are left in the interface table CC1TEV.
I have seen that within one block of identical time bookings in TEVEN the field PDSNR ist not numbered in one sequence but there are gaps in between that are used for any other entries.
As I can see in historical entries of TEVEN the problem exists already for years so it does not seem to be in direct connection with the latest support pack or something like that.
The relevant jobs run every 15 minutes whereby SAPCDT45 is started 5 minutes after RPTCC106.
Has anyone else experienced this strange behaviour or knows what I could further investigate?
Many thanks for your replies in advance and best regards
Günter

Hi Carlos,
thanks for your fast reply.
It seems that an entry for Status A00 or A05 would solve my problems and of course I will try to handle it by this view.
But do you know whether there is any possibility to find out how it comes to these repeated postings?
I do not know whether the repeated postings happen in the same package (IDOC) or in an earlier package and to be honest I do not think that the record comes from the source application a second time because there I could find only one record that seems to be correct.
I also cannot understand how it comes that I have even 140 "identical" entries for one time event.
Could you please let me know your thoughts about that?
Anyway I thank you for offering a solution - even if I do not understand the reason for the pborlem.
Thanks and best regards
Günter

Timer Event Generator.

Hi there
I'm running WL Platform 8.1 SP4. I am using the timer event generator to fire requests to a channel/process. The timer is simply used to start a given process, there is no notion of message sent to it.
Issues
1) When defining a channel,
e.g
<channel name ="XToY" messageType="xml"
qualifiedMetadataType="eg:TimerEventGenerator" />
It seems I must define messageType="xml", if i define it as 'none' then it does not appear in the channel list when defining the timer event generator, therefore i cannot bind to it. So if I leave the messageType as xml, it appears. For the configuration of the timer, the message element is optional. Problem is when the timer now fires it throws the following error:
<08-May-2006 10:25:25 o'clock BST> <Error> <WLI-Core> <BEA-489030> <Error publishing Timer Event message for XToYTimerEG : com.bea.wli.mbconnector.MBConnMDBBase$MBConnectorException: Can't create proc
ess variable: com.bea.wli.mbconnector.MBConnMDBBase$MBConnectorException: Can't read XML (no root element)>
Any ideas?
2) Can someone direct me to any wlst scripts that allow the creation of a timer event generator in a cluster? ?I cannot find anything on dev2dev ?
TIA
Arvinder

Ok, you can basically leave the messageType as XML
and for the Timer EG configuration, for the optional message you can add <dummy/> this will fire the request and start a workflow or whatever is bound to the channel.
