HR/E-Filing just started to fail

We have been running Business Connector 4.8 with SAP R/3 4.7 to allow us to use E-Filing for incoming & outgoing connections for a number of months without any problems.  Since last week (it seems to have started on Tuesday 5th Oct) this has been failing. 
The connection between R/3 and BC is working OK (the connection test in SM59 works fine).  The problem is between the BC server & the govt site. 
I have asked our network admins to check but they cannot see any reason why suddenly the process should fail.
I understand one test is to try this URL (https://secure.gateway.gov.uk/submission) & I should get some XML back.  This is the response I get which I'm sure I have been told is correct:
  <?xml version="1.0" ?>

I have found a document from HM Revenue & Customs "Notes for Payroll Developers Series 12 - number 5" which includes a note about a URL change:

But the note says the old URLs will remain supported for up to 12 months.  Is this relevant?  Where would this URL be in the e-filing setup?  I
Or maybe this is not relevant - perhaps the problem lies elsewhere.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks, Chris

  • I have a 6 week old 4s running 5.1.1 Just started recieving "failed sim" message the other day. This leaves me with no cell service . Service comes back after shutting down and restarting. at least until message reaapears. Has happened three times in two

    I have a 6 week old 4s running 5.1.1. Started recieving "failed sim" message yesterday. this leaves me with no cell service. Shutting down and turning back own seems to alleviate problem temporarily. It has happened three times now. Help.

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

  • Time Machine has just started to fail

    It used to backup the entire emac in less than 5 minutes, now after 2 hours it only does about 20kb of 40 gigs

    How much free space is on each drive?
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.

    Have you tried using a different brand of optical disk? (You don't say whether you are doing CDs or DVDs.) Some are better than others.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • How do I add songs to a current playlist now that I've downloaded iOS 7 to my iPhone 4? I don't seem to be able to add songs anymore-- when I try to add the song, it just starts playing it instead.

    I used to be able to open the playlist, choose to Edit it, then go to the song I wanted to add and the song would have a plus sign next to it and if I tapped the song, it would be added to the playlist however many times I tapped it. Now when I Edit the playlist, I go to the song I purchased to add it and there is no plus sign, but I figured, hey maybe that's new too, and I tap it anyway. Instead of going on my playlist it just starts playing. I even thought, after multiple attempts at this, that if I let the song play all the way through it would go on my list, but that was a failed idea as well.
    Does anyone out there know how to fix this? I realize I can probably start a new playlist---or maybe I cant!!! --I haven't even tried! But even if I can, I don't want too because this one has lots of songs in a particular order, and I just want to add my new purchases!
    I already greatly dislike the visual changes that came with iOS 7 - so I hope these other issuesare easily fixable....
    Thanks!

    Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

  • Firefox just started to do this if on one user account someone has firefox running another user account on the same computer can not connect to the internet through firefox while firefox is running in the first user account

    Windows XP/Windows 7
    2 user accounts on the computer. If each acct is logged into the computer and tries to have firefox running only one can connect to the internet at a time. Have Verizon FIOS for ISP and this just started to occur. Firefox version 8 but also happening in firefox 6.0.2. How can we run firefox in two computer accts at the same time? Thank you

    I am having exactly the same problem. This worked on all versions of Firefox up until mid last week. It started failing on Wednesday, coincident with the installation of Firefox 8.0 (see attached gif showing the automatic update on that date).
    To fix the problem, you have to shut down Firefox 8.0 on one account, switch to the other account and then you can run it there.
    If Firefox 8.0 is running on on account, the other account will run Firefox, but when you enter an URL it waits for quite a while then reports "The connection was reset. The connection was reset while the page was loading".
    We also use Thunderbird 8.0 and it does not exhibit this problem, and works at the same time as Firefox 8.0. I suspect they might share some components.
    I'd be happy to supply more details if needed.
    Thanks,

  • Acrobat X Pro hangs when making PDF. Using on Windows 7 64. Just started hanging. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Installed update. Once it hangs, must go into crtl, alt, delete to force close.

    Acrobat X Pro hangs when making PDF. Using on Windows 7 64. Just started hanging. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Installed update. Once it hangs, must go into crtl, alt, delete to force close.

    As a debugging step, try printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that fails, repeat with print-to-file selected. Assuming the print succeeds, open the file in Distiller to complete the creation of the PDF. If you get the PDF, then check to see if AcroTray is properly working as a background task.

  • Issue while running page OC4J start up failed.

    Hi,
    I am working on two instances one is Local and another is in abroad.
    Now when I am running simple Hello World Page by giving Local Instance connections The page is loading quickly and running fine.
    Now when I am running the same Hello World Page by giving Abroad Instance connections The page load is taking almost 9-10 mins and running fine.
    In the above cases what might be the issue with Abroad Instances for loading page.
    1) Is it the Network Issue?
    2) Is it the OC4J Issue?
    Can anyone breif this senario and how to over come this issue.
    And one more Issue is
    Took the remote desktop of the Abroad Machine Installed JDeveloper in it and while running the Hello World page the Message OC4J start up failed is getting popedup in the Message.
    In which cases we will get OC4J start up failed error.
    Thanks,

    I am working on two instances one is Local and another is in abroad.What is your application release?
    In the above cases what might be the issue with Abroad Instances for loading page.
    1) Is it the Network Issue?Could be one or more.
    Can you reproduce the issue with other Self-Service pages? Any performance issues with forms?
    2) Is it the OC4J Issue?What about local users who access the same page from the same network, do they encounter the same performance issues?
    Can anyone breif this senario and how to over come this issue.Before investigating the performance issues with the instance/server (which are discussed many times in the forum, so just search old threads for performance tuning and you will get many hits), I would suggest you answer the above two questions to determine whether this is a network issue or an instance/server issue.

  • Very strange display problem just started

    Hi ... I'm wondering if anyone can help with a strange problem I've just started to experience.
    I'm running Win XP via Bootcamp. All had previously worked absolutely fine -- until today. Whenever I boot into Windows, I get past the welcome screen, my desktop appears for about 1-2 seconds, then -- boom -- goes black.
    Totally black screen -- no cursor or anything.
    Windows is still running, I can tell -- and if I press keys, I know they are working still (eg. can still shut down/restart through key combos). But the display is totally gone.
    I'd used Boot Camp without problems yesterday -- but the last thing I did was shut down and install updates. So presumably something in the latest windows update has clobbered the display in some way. But I have no idea what, or how to solve the problem.
    Further info:
    If I F8 boot into VGA mode, exactly the same thing happens.
    I've also F8 booted into safe mode and disabled the graphics card driver (ATI card) then rebooted into normal and still the same problem occurs.
    I'd be hugely, hugely grateful for help, as I'm at my wits' end here ... Thanks

    Ah, so you have a first-gen model from the looks of it. If I might make a suggestion, please update your tagline as follows to assist others in helping you:
    MBP (Early 2006)
    You can expand upon this as you like.
    Perhaps I wasn't reading the original post, but what version of Windows were you running at the time?
    As I recall, that model line of MacBook Pros needed an EFI firmware update to operate Boot Camp. Before the mid-2006 speed bump, these models also needed an SMC firmware patch. With the EFI update, your "Boot ROM revision" should be MBP11.0055.B08
    If you can boot to Safe Mode, try using the Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features applet in your Control Panel to uninstall the ATI driver properly. Should that fail, search out "ATI Catalyst Uninstaller" using your favorite Web crawler. The first thing to come up should be AMD's uninstall tool, which you can then run to get rid of the driver.
    Once you've done this, reinstall the ATI software from your Leopard/Boot Camp DVD and re-run the Boot Camp 2.1 patch from the Web; this should properly update the ATI software and get you back on track.
    We would also need to rule out whether a recent update caused this issue, in which case rolling back to a prior restore point may help. You may lose documents created between the restore point time and the present, but this is normal.
    The only other possibility I can suggest is to rebuild your entire Boot Camp setup and take notes as you get back up to the point where the blackout occurred. This way, you'll have some documentation handy whether you repost here or contact Apple directly.
    Good luck,
    Nate

  • N8: Phone Start-up failed. Contact your retailer!!...

    Hello Nokia,
    I just woke up to find this error on my N8 and now i can't turn on the phone bacuase after the Nokia Logo then this message comes "Phone Start-up failed. Contact your retailer". What should i do to get it back cos i can't do anything now since all my information is on my phone. 
    I wanted to even connect it to the computer and use it as a USB drive to get some of my info but the msg still appears.
    Pls help
    Kind regards 

    If your not getting to the homescreens then it's likely you have a very diferent issue to the one described in the post linked,
    If you get to the homescreens then it's likely either the nokia sign in thing or just too much starting at once that's hitting you,try putting the phone into offline mode before it comes up and letting it complete its boot,
    otherwise if it is happening at the nokia logo screen, then it sounds like something has gone badly wrong,
    if you are running anna then you may need to perform a multi fingered reset which will erase the data stored on the phone and restore it to an out of box state, before recovering from a back up that you have made previously,
    If that deosn't work then a trip to a nokia care point is your only course of action

  • XL Reporter Start Up Failed - "Report Initialize" Description (667)

    Hi experts,
    I use SAP B1 2007 PL34. I'm trying to execute an XL reporter report and I got this message
    "An Error Occurred During The Process "Report Initialize". Description(667) metainfo.XML not Found! (Please contact the administrator to fix the repository connection) XL reporter Start Up failed"
    Afterwards the report open but had just the headers. I already searched through the forums but I only saw Description (666) errors, How can I resolve this ?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    In order to resolve the reported issue, please try the following solution:          
    1. Please make sure that (a)Microsoft® .NET Framework 1.1 and (b) Microsoft® MDAC 2.7 or higher is installed in the machine, where you are running XL reporter if you have both .Net 1.1 and .Net 2.0 is installed then please refer to note no. 898635.                                                                               
    2. Once the error message popped up, please kill all processes of SBO and XLR, then restart. Try to see if the message still exists.                                                                               
    3. Goto Excel and check if the Macro Settings is correct as per note 853821.
    4. Check the authorization of the folder C:Program FilesSAPSAP Business OneAddOnsXLRXLReporter to see if users have right to edit document in that folder.
    5. If still you have the same issue, could you please copy a healthy Metainfo.xml from your workstation where the XL reporter is working fine to the workstation where you are facing the issue. After modifying the Database info in the Metainfo.xml file, execute XLR again.
    Note: The Metainfo.xml file should be available in the following location :
    C:Program FilesSAPSAP Business OneAddOnsXLRXLReporter.               
    hope it helps,

  • Nokia C7 Phone Start-Up Failed

    A good friend of mine has a Nokia C7.  He and I both used to use SPB Mobile Shell, but I no longer do.  However, my friend is still using the SPB software.
    Sometimes when my friend turns on his phone, the usual Nokia information appears, then the "loading" message that SPB is being loaded, and then he gets a message:
    Phone Start-Up Failed.
    Contact the retailer
    From searching the forums, I'm pretty sure this is a Nokia message, and not something from SPB.
    People suggested removing the memory card, but this phone doesn't have a memory card.
    Other people suggest a "three-finger reset".
    I have just asked my friend to remove the battery for a few minutes, then re-start the phone.  I don't know yet if this will help. 
    My next option would be to remove the SPB software, but from what I'm reading, this is not likely to be the problem - and my friend still relies on the SPB Mobile Shell for daily use.
    My last option is the three-finger reset.  What they suggested was "Hold Menu Key,Volume Down Key,Camera Key and press the switch on button (power button) and when your phone vibrates release the switch on button (power button) and keep holding the Menu Key,Volume Down Key,Camera Key and wait for a while and your phone will be as good as new".  If I do the three-finger reset, is this going to remove all the data on his phone, so I need to set everything up for him again? 

    My C-7 has the same problem. I'm not surprised since thousands of this handset (along with the N8) are also affected.
    This is a design-defect problem that NOKIA recognizes but refuses to address properly   By purchasing this handset we have all thrown our money to the winds. We are not alone; Considering NOKIA's current stock price nose-dive, the company's shareholders are in the same boat.
    This is an absolute travesty. Were it not for NOKIA's "killer application" (its off-line turn-by-turn mapping program, of course), I would have jumped ship long ago. Although I feel very sorry for myself for having bought such a problematic device, I feel much worse for the employees of NOKIA (at least for those who still remain employed after the recent mass purgings in a desperate attempt by the C-levels to keep the company afloat). Surely they must also be able to see the writing on the wall indicating that their time is nearly up  The company will go under.
    Horrible product quality, arrogant refusal to properly address the defects, oblivious attention to the market and an unfathomable and highly misguided sell-out to Microsoft has turned this once great company into a puddle of mush, slowly seeping into the cracks of the floor over which Samsung and Apple now gleefully dance.
    Shame, Nokia. Shame.
    * By the way: If you want to breath life back into your C-7 or N-8, charge the beast and then place it into the freezer for a few minutes. Since the root problem is due to overheaded boards, this action will quite surprisingly, cool the unit back down to whence it will once again start. 

  • Attached pdf wont open - problem just started

    This week, pdfs attached to e-mail give error message "Download Error, download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred - try again". On the Download window, the message is "Failed, Mailbox Resource". Yet I can Save the file to desktop and open it.
    This problem just started to happen.
    Help would be appreciated ... thanks in advace

    I just started having this same issue a day or two ago. I tried the fix described above and it did not help.
    When I click on the attached file in the outgoing mail, nothing happens; when I send the file to myself and click on the attachment at the bottom of the received message I get the following error message: "The download cannot be save because an unknown error occurred. Please try again." But if I manually click on the "Save" button at the right of the attachment bar (or line, or whatever you call it), it does save just fine and will open just fine.
    I am running Win7 with all service packs. As I indicated, this problem just popped up very recently, during an interval when I had left the computer on in "sleep" mode but otherwise did not use it. HOWEVER, before trying it after waking up my machine today, I did download and install the latest security updates from micronumb. Could these latest updates be the problem?
    Thanks for any assistance anyone can give me.
