Help diagnosing 'The system cannot find the path specified' when running GPMW or GPRW on W2008R2 Std (64-bit) DCs

Hi,
Decided to bite the bullet and sort out a nagging issue we have in our AD where GPMW and GPRW both report errors when run.
Some time back we had a PDC failure which a third-party helped us to recover from but suspect there might have been some loose ends of which this may be one.
I am running the GPMC on the DC here are the screenshots of what happens:
[Images were pasted here but when I tried to submit it says that I need to verify my account - will post them when verified]
Have checked application event logs on DC but no entries.
Have noticed that when running the GPRW that the list of users whose RSoP data can be selected is really old (no recent users).
I have been through each GPO in the hierarchy to check for unknown UUID, corrupt GPO's etc. but have found nothing so far.
DCDIAG results appear OK and replication seems to be working but having tried to Google for KB articles etc. and not found what I need so I thought I would post the question here for help.
Not an AD/GPO expert (obviously!) so please be gentle and, if possible, give step-by-step guidance.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi Frank,
I read this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/cc507518(v=vs.85).aspx#determining_whether_a_domain_controller_s_sysvol_folder_is_replicated_by_dfsr_or_frs
and found that the reg key was set to 0x0 so I guess that we are using FRS at present.
The history of the domain is one that started with NT > 2000 > and is now at 2008R2 functional level (we had some work done by an external guy when the domain crashed an I seem to remember at the time that they raised the FL at our request)
Reading the article it would seem that SYSVOL migration has yet to be performed.
Would it be better to do this SYSVOL migration first and then try the DRS method that you have suggested or the other way around.
Thanks
Julian

A couple of thoughts:
a) get your SYSVOL healthy before you consider commencing the migration from FRS->DFS
b) consider checking the dedicated DirectoryServices forum for tips (your Group Policy issues are a symptom of DC/DS ill-health)
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=winserverDS
c) read this migration guide thoroughly

Version 2014.1.0 - save for web returns error: the system cannot find the path specified. Help?

I'm on PC (yah, yah, I know)
When I click "save for web" I get the following error:
The operation could not be completed.
The system cannot find the path specified.
I thought I could repair Photoshop, but the 2014 version doesn't seem to have that option in the control panel's Programs and Features - only uninstall. The Cloud doesn't seem to have a "reinstall" option that I can see.I'd hate to have to redownload the whole thing and start over, but I suppose I may have to.
Any ideas?

"The system cannot find the path specified" error

Hi, Thanks for taking the time and reading.
I had to update an old report that was made in CrystalReports. I copied the rpt files and pasted them into a csharp solution in VS 2010.
The report structure is of a Main report and 6 subreports. I have to run this Main report many times and feed it a different integer as a parameter.
I can preview the report in report viewer perfectly. When i try to export the main report into a pdf format
i get an exception. I have tried a few different formats and it spews the same error.
Oddly enough the export sometimes works if the report i am previewing has the "Save data in the report" check box checked. My guess is that this is cached. Also when i run just the subreports through my application, it works.
Things i have tried:
I installed: CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_13
I installed: CRforVS_13_0_13
Took a look at the Procmon and i could not find an access denied error
Event Viewer has no detail.
Changed Registry values of ConnectionDirectoryPath and ReportDirectoryPath to "c:\"
Code:
if (!Directory.Exists(filePath))
Directory.CreateDirectory(filePath);

cryRpt.SetParameterValue(GlobalVaraiables.FUND_DATA_KEY_PARAMETER, i.ToString());

I don't see where you're ever setting the logons for the tables in the report and subreports. The reports with saved data are working because they already have data in them. The reports without saved data are not working because they don't know how to connect to the database.
See the Database section here Crystal Reports for .NET SDK Samples - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki for more information about how to set the logons.

Windows 7 Backup "The System cannot find the path specified" - Error Code 0x80070003

I'm having severe problems backing up my own machine to a share on our
FILE-SERVER as \\FILE-SERVER\Backup\
I have already backed up another PC successfully using exactly the same settings I have used on my own PC. So I presume it is nothing to do with the
FILE-SERVER or the Backup settings. It has to be something to do with what I'm trying to backup from my machine.
First some background.
This exercise all began when the Windows Server 2008 r2
O/S fell over on one of our Servers. I tried reinstalling the O/S several times, without success. In the end I grabbed another drive and re-built the O/S. I then had problems promoting it to a Domain Controller on the network.
In the end I renamed the Server from FILESERVER
to FILE-SERVER.
We routinely share four folders on what is now
FILE-SERVER:
\\FILE-SERVER\Backup
- a Folder where backups from all other machines are written, so that they will be backed up with the Server
\\FILE-SERVER\Company
- holds all our Company data
\\FILE-SERVER\GEM
- this is the application folder for our own database
\\FILE-SERVER\Install
- holds all Install files for the software we use
These are all held on a RAID 1 Array that is separate from the System Disk that fell over.
Prior to the Server falling over, I had Backup working fine on my machine.
On my Notebook PC I had made these shared folders 'Available Offline', so that I still had everything available to me when I was out of the office. They were
of course shared as \\FILESERVER\... not \\FILE-SERVER\...
Having got the Server up and going again, I began to get the Backups from the Windows 7 Client PC's going again.
I started with a Desktop, which of course did not have any Offline Files.
That proved relatively straight-forward.
I then started with my machine. Initially I did not make the above shared folders 'Available Offline'. I set up my Backup using exactly the same settings that
had worked OK on the desktop machine. But when I ran the backup I got:
The System cannot find the path specified, Error Code 0x80070003
I tried all sorts of things to get it to work:
I restored the system to the earliest point possible,
I ran chkdsk,
I defragged the drive
All to no avail, so I tried backing up:
with and without a system image,
reducing the backup to a single folder,
a single Folder with only one .txt file in it,
making the Folders 'Available Offline' again.
Nothing made any difference.
In the end I looked in the Sync Center to look at the Offline Files Folder.
Under Mapped Network Drives I discovered I still had the Files and Folders from
\\FILESERVER. In their Shortcut Menu 'Always Available Offline' was greyed out. So I deleted the Offline Copies. This deleted the Files in the Folders but not the Folders.
Since I could find no way of deleting the old Mapped Network Drives, I decided I'd painted myself into a corner by renaming the Server.
So I bit the bullet and re-installed my Notebook too. This did get rid of the unwanted old Mapped Network Drives - BUT NOT THE ERROR!!
I’ve been through all the troubleshooting procedures in:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/629597bb-7be0-455c-b81e-a149472d3f9b/windows-7-backup-the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified-error-0x80070003?forum=w7itprogeneral
Method 1
It had none of the symptoms reported in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973455
but I scanned for ‘reparse’ points anyway. Found several “Junction Points” but none that were “Mounted Volumes”, just ordinary ‘File Folders’.
Method 2
Check a drive for errors.
Looked at:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors
Checked
both boxes. I closed machine down, to check for errors when it re-started.
It didn’t seem to find anything.
I say seem, because I did not actually see it finishing checking the empty space, but stages 1-4 found no problems and Windows 7 restarted normally.
It did detect 66 ‘Reparse’ Points, which is more than it found when I scanned for them earlier.
Method 3
Yes, I am an administrator or my own machine and, as such, I have ‘Full Access’.
I downloaded an ran the Process Monitor, filtering for Process Name “Wbengine.exe”, but did dot get a single event.
So I’m not sure what’s going on.
HELP - I'm out of ideas!
I have a WORD Document that documents all the Settings I've used on both the Server and the Clients, together with the reasoning behind those settings, but
I cannot find a way of uploading it.

I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
"Restore" functions, not the
"Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
The 3 backup problems are:
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
some recent Windows update. Thanks.

[Forum FAQ] Cannot perform a backup schedule via Windows Server Backup and receive "The system cannot find the path specified." Error

Symptom One
You attempt to
schedule a backup every day via Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2008 R2. At the beginning, the backup works without issue. But after a few days it failed and you receive the error “Windows Server Backup:
The system cannot find the path specified.”
Cause
The issue may occur if there is
no shadow copy storage space available on the backup volume.
Verify
You can use the List ShadowStorage command to check if you have enough storage space to store the newly created shadow copy. If you've reviewed the size of the backup snapshot and discovered
that there is no allocated space for the storage association, you need to resize shadowstorage.
Solution
You could run the command below to create shadow copy storage space on the backup volume:
vssadmin resize
shadowstorage /for=<ForVolumeSpec> /on=<OnVolumeSpec> [/maxsize=<MaxSizeSpec>]
More Information
Vssadmin resize shadowstorage
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc788050.aspx
Symptom Two
When you add
another external hard drive to backup schedule via Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2012, it fails and you receive the error “The System cannot find the path specified.”
Cause
The issue is due to the
Original Destination Disk was not attached to the server.
Verify
You could check the disk status in Disk Management to see if the Original Destination Disk is offline or removed.
Solution
You need to attach
Original Destination Disk to the Server then choose another external hard drive as backup target. After that, you could remove the Original Destination Disk.
Workaround
To work around this issue, please use the WBADMIN command line tool to add disk.
WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget :{ DiskID}
The AddTarget parameter takes disk ID as parameter. It can be retrieved by running "WBADMIN GET DISKS" command.
Example:
WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP
-addtarget :{ aa123d14-bba0-1dd9-0d93-80aaaa6bbb63}

The system cannot find the path specified - Problems

I am having an issue that I am hoping someone can help figure out for me.
I am currently learning Java, and am working with the Beginning Programming with Java for Dummies book second edition. I have downloaded and am running the Java 6 program and am using the JCreator 3.5Pro that was recommended to run the Practice files for the Dummies book.
I have the practice files here:
C/Program Files/Xinox Software/JCreatorV3/My Projects
While trying to compile one of the practice files, I get this error message:
--------------------Configuration: MyNewProject - JDK version 1.6.0_21 <Default> - <Default>--------------------
javac: file not found: src_mynewproject.txt (The system cannot find the path specified)
Process completed.
**When I try to execute, I get this error message:**
--------------------Configuration: MyNewProject - JDK version 1.6.0_21 <Default> - <Default>--------------------
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: EchoLine

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:248)
Could not find the main class: EchoLine. Program will exit.
Exception in thread "main"
Process completed.
When I set up the new file, and the new class, I confirmed the file path.
I know most people will ask if I am absolutely certain I put in the code in properly, and yes I did. It was a matter of copying word for word, and punctuation. I did it 100% correctly. About 12 times. I have NO idea what this means, but I would REALLY REALLY appreciate any help on this.
Please keep in mind, I am slightly clueless, and really need to have any help dumbed down a bit. Lol.
As a side note, this isn't my first project, and I haven't had this problem before now.
thanks in advance. =)

So I wanted to clarify what I've done a bit more since I decided to redownload the dummies programs for the program and try again.
I will try to list my steps in order of what I did and see if I've gone wrong somewhere along the line.
I downloaded my project files from here: http://ca.dummies.com/store/product/Beginning-Programming-with-Java-For-Dummies-2nd-Edition.productCd-0764588745,navId-322469,descCd-DOWNLOAD.html
I unzipped them this time here: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\MyProjects\
I opened JCreator 3.5 and starting fresh, with all previous projects deleted and clicked on "Open Workspace". I chose "MyWorkspace.jcw". Right clicked MyWorkspace and chose "Add new Project" and then chose "Empty Project". As per the books instruction for the first project, I named it "MyFirstProject". My file path was: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\MyProjects\MyFirstProject. Which is where I upzipped the files. I added it to current workspace and clicked finish.
I then added a new class. As per the books instructions, I right clicked "MyFirstProject" and selected Add New Class. For the name, I used MyFirstJavaClass, which is what the book told me to do. My locations are the exact same as above. and I clicked on Generate new Method, as it told me to. Which it doesn't in the next few lessons, so I know this has nothing to do with it. For that and a few other reasons. Lol.
I clicked on Finish.
All I had to do was replace a single line of code. Not type it all in this time.
Here is what shows up on the screen:
class MyFirstJavaClass {
     * Method main
     * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // TODO: Add your code here
I need to change the : // TODO: Add your code here
with the line:
System.out.println.("Chocolate, royalties, sleep");
When I do this, and compile project, I get this:
--------------------Configuration: MyFirstProject - JDK version 1.6.0_21 <Default> - <Default>--------------------
javac: file not found: src_myfirstproject.txt (The system cannot find the path specified)
Process completed.
AGAIN! But it worked a few days ago.
And when I execute, I get this:
--------------------Configuration: MyFirstProject - JDK version 1.6.0_21 <Default> - <Default>--------------------
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MyFirstJavaClass

I really hope the extra info helps someone help me!

The operation failed because of a protection agent failure. (ID 998 Details: The system cannot find the path specified (0x80070003))

Hello,
We are getting the following error when trying to backup our fileserver (DPM 2012 R2) to tape.
"The operation failed because of a protection agent failure. (ID 998 Details: The system cannot find the path specified (0x80070003))"
What is interesting:
- The "Short-Term Protection" to disk runs successfully without error
- The "Long-Term Protection" to tape fails after writing ~2TB of data to a TL2000 tape loader. (Always appears to fail towards end of job with the above error)
- In the past (until roughly a month ago) the tape portion of this job was completing successfully.
The DPM logs fail to give much information around the time of error regarding any failures. Likewise windows event logs give no hint of a problem when the job fails.
Looking for any ideas that may help resolve this.
Cheers!

Hi
Has it just started happening? What rollup version are you on currently?

"The system cannot find the path specified" error when installing a network printer running Win 7

Some of the end users are having issues when trying to install network printers. We have created a portal where they can locate the printer they want to connect to, click connect, and the printer will download with the correct drivers on their PC's. The
entire company is running Win 7 for their operating system. One end user in particular has had issues installing multiple printers from the portal, when I go to test installing these same printers on my PC, they all install successfully. trying to figure out
why some end users hav issues with installation and others do not. They will get the error, The system cannot find the specified path. Any help would be great

Hi JeffWilko,
What is your current situation?
To receive better analyzation, please provide more details?
1. Could you explain a bit about the sentence ‘installing multiple printers from the portal’ ?
2. Check the event viewer and share us the related error log.
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Ping the printers
2. Check if there are network firewall to block the access

Apply trace on RAS and look for errors in the RAS logs at the same timestamp.
These errors come for various errors and tracing RAS would give us a better idea.
It might hapen that you observe these errors for reports which takes more than the RAS timeout to export the reports.
Post getting the RAS logs you can try below steps if we see timeout errors in RAS logs.
Copy clientSDKOptions.xml file from <BO install path>\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\lib to the machine where your app is running Open clientSDKOptions.xml and change CORBARequestTimeOut from 600000 to a value large enough to allow the report to render, for instance 1200000. Default value is 600000 (10 minutes)
Specify the location of the clientSDKOptions.xml file at run-time. In your JSP or Java files, use the Java method setProperty from the System class. Set the system property indicated by the ras.config key to the specified directory as: system.setProperty("ras.config","c:\temp"). This function call specifies that the clientSDKOptions.xml file in c:\temp is to be used for locating RAS servers.
Thanks,

Error "The system cannot find the path specified" after upgrading to R2

Hi guys,
I upgrade from SP1 CU3 to R2 and since then I can not display images, I get the error:
Failed to run the action: Instalar Windows y Configuration Manager.
The system cannot find the path specified. (Error: 80070003; Source: Windows)
just finished restart after applying the operating system. I installed all the updates, I delete and add the pxe point and nothing. The fact is that I have other tasks to capture using the same step and works fine. The hardware is a Virtual Machine
de vmware.
If anyone has ever happened or can help would be grateful. Sorry for my English.

Hi,
There is a workaround:
Wait until you get to the point where you select the task sequence
Hit “F8” to open the command prompt
Type “diskpart” and hit return
Type “select disk 0” and hit return
Type “list volume” and see if the CD/DVD drive has a drive letter of C:\ or D:\. If it does move to step 6, otherwise close the command prompt and begin the staging otherwise.
Type “select volume X” (where X is the volume number of the CD/DVD drive) and hit return
Type “assign letter=e” and hit return (if the E:\ is already taken up use the next available letter)
Type “list volume” and hit return to ensure the new drive letter is active
Close down the command prompt and begin staging

DPM 2012 SP1 - ID 2033 Details: The system cannot find the path specified 0x80070003.

Seeing a very strange issue on one of servers. Three of the drives are failing the consistency checks with the same type of error.
DPM encountered an error while performing an operation for
\\?\Volume (ID 2033 Details: The system cannot find the path specified (0x80070003))
We have removed the effected drives from the protection group and added them again. We even removed the whole protection group and re-created it. That hasn't helped with the issue.
Wondering if you anyone else might have some thoughts on this? Appreciate your help on this.

Did you get this solved - we're having the same issue. data sources failing on particular folders. delete ds and replica, re-protect and it fails on the same folder/area eventually, although in most cases this seemed to rectify it. It can be user files or
system (winsxs or dedup chunkstore, etc)
If I delete the user files from the protected server that seems to be causuing the dpm server replica trouble then it can help.

Inconsisten with the protected source The system cannot find the path specified (0x80070003)

Hi,
we are getting an error with the DPM server, the disk is on the same server, other disk have no issues
The replica of Volume H:\ on backup.domain.eu is inconsistent with the protected data source. All protection activities for data source will fail until the replica is synchronized with consistency check. You can recover data from existing recovery points, but
new recovery points cannot be created until the replica is consistent.
DPM encountered an error while performing an operation for \\?\Volume{5d0ecad1-5d88-47eb-8a5c-13dddaf0d41e}\app\invoice\ on backup.domain.eu (ID 2033 Details: The system cannot find the path specified (0x80070003))
we did a consistency check twice and a disk scan, even deleted the backup and recreated it

Hi,
From the following article, you can first try a consistent checking:
Replica inconsistent
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb809059.aspx
To perform a consistency check
In DPM Administrator Console, click Protection on the navigation bar.
In the Display pane, select the protection group member for which you want to perform a consistency check.
In the Actions pane, click Perform consistency check.
In the dialog that notifies you that a consistency check is a lengthy operation, click OK.
If it failed, please try to manually synchronize a replica as referred in this article:
How to Synchronize a Replica

Windows Server Essentials 2012 error code: 2147942403 The system cannot find the path specified

Running Windows Server 2012 Essentials with an external usb 3 drive as a backup device. Using a Vantec hx enclosure with a WD Red drive. Last night the Dashboard saw the drive with about half the 4TB available for backup. A.M., I get "error code:
2147942403 The system cannot find the path specified".
Going to the server desktop, I see a message indicating that the usb device malfunctioned. unplugging it, and plugging it back in, I now have it available via the dashboard.
This has happened a couple times with two different drives in Vantec hx enclosures.
A couple possibilities come to mind:
the enclosures may both be bad...
there is some problem with the system software and external usb drive.
Thoughts?
Suggestions for external enclosures?
Thanks!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you cannot backup the Windows Server Essentials 2012 and got "error code: 2147942403 The system cannot find the path specified". You found the usb device malfunctioned.
Can you backup the server when you unplugged the usb device, and plugged it back in? If you can backup the server when you replug the usb device, you need to engage the vendor to resolve the hard drive issues.
Best Regards,
Mandy

BOXI3.1: Error during migration -The system cannot find the path specified

Hi,
I'm trying to migrate my reporting server from BOXIR2 to BOXI3.1.
I have a Java App which uses the SDK to generate reports hosted on BOE.
I have updated the SDK and when i attempt to generate a very simple test report, i get this error:
The system cannot find the path specified.
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKServerException: The system cannot find the path specified.
---- Error code:-2147467259 Error code name:failed
     at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(Unknown Source)
When i stepped through the codes, it occurred at this line:
ByteArrayInputStream aiStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)rptDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(exportOptions);
Does anyone know the cause of the issue? Some guide on what to check will also be helpful! Thanks!

Hi Aasavari,
We are running BOXI3.1 SP4.
For debugging purpose, I created a small program with your suggestion to remove exportOptions.
My report is called "testReportName" and it is created in "CMC > Folders > testFolderName":
IEnterpriseSession enterpriseSession;
IInfoStore infoStore;
IReportAppFactory rptAppFactory;
IInfoObjects oInfoObjects;
int reportFolderSI_ID;
String reportFolder = "testFolderName";
String reportName = "testReportName";
String paramVal = "2012-01-31";
try {
     enterpriseSession = CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr().logon(boUser, boPwd, boAPSName, boAuthType);
     //Get the InfoStore service from Crystal Enterprise
     infoStore = (IInfoStore)enterpriseSession.getService("InfoStore",com.crystaldecisions.enterprise.ocaframework.ServiceNames.OCA_I_IINFO_STORE);
} catch (SDKException e) {
     System.out.println(e.message());
try {
     //Get the Report Application Factory service from Crystal Enterprise
     rptAppFactory = (IReportAppFactory)enterpriseSession.getService("RASReportFactory");
     String parentFolderQuery = "SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE " +
     "SI_PARENT_FOLDER=0 and SI_PROGID='CrystalEnterprise.Folder' and " +
     "SI_NAME= '"+reportFolder +"' ORDER BY SI_NAME";
     IInfoObjects parentFolderInfoObjects = infoStore.query(parentFolderQuery);
     reportFolderSI_ID = ((IInfoObject)parentFolderInfoObjects.get(0)).getID();
     // Retrieve the report by name and its reportFolder from Crystal Enterprise
     oInfoObjects = infoStore.query("Select * From CI_INFOOBJECTS Where SI_NAME='"+reportFolder+"' AND SI_PARENT_FOLDER="+reportFolderSI_ID);
     oInfoObjects = infoStore.query("Select * From CI_INFOOBJECTS Where SI_NAME='"+reportName+"' AND SI_PARENT_FOLDER='"+((IInfoObject)oInfoObjects.get(0)).getID()+"'");
     IInfoObject infoObject = (IInfoObject)oInfoObjects.get(0);

     ConnectionInfos connectionInfos = rptDoc.getDatabaseController().getConnectionInfos(null);
     for (ConnectionInfo oldConnectionInfo:((Collection<ConnectionInfo>)connectionInfos))
          rptDoc.getDatabaseController().replaceConnection(oldConnectionInfo, connectionInfo, null, replaceParams);
     //Get Params
     Fields mainRptParameterFields = rptDoc.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
     String params = new String();
     for(Object parameterField : mainRptParameterFields){
          String paramName = ((ParameterField)parameterField).getName();
          if(parameterField != null)
               if(((ParameterField)parameterField).getType() == FieldValueType.dateField)
                    rptDoc.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController().setCurrentValue("", paramName,java.sql.Date.valueOf(paramVal));
               else if (((ParameterField)parameterField).getType() == FieldValueType.dateTimeField){
                    //Stored Procs uses Datetime
                    java.util.Date datetime = (Date)reportDate_df.parse(paramVal);
                    rptDoc.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController().setCurrentValue("",paramName, datetime);
               else
                    rptDoc.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController().setCurrentValue("", paramName, paramVal);
     ByteArrayInputStream aiStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)rptDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
     rptDoc.close();
I ran this against BOXIR2 and BOXI3.1, BOXI3.1 will still throw error at
ByteArrayInputStream aiStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)rptDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
Another question, will CI_INFOOBJECTS table be created in the DB during installation of BOXI?
