Inventory problem-ZEN 6.5

I'm having major problems with inventory. Environment is single NDS tree
NW6-6.5 ZENWorks 6.5. Workstations are importing normally. I always get
database errors when trying to generate reports. If I right click a
workstation object in Console One and go to Actions\Inventory, I get "The
configured database is not a compatible database. You are trying to
access the later version of the database." I've installed the snapins
from the server to the workstation copy of Console One. HELP!

Inventory problems

When workstations register and try to do an inventory these are the
error
messages they get.
Scanner(Warning) : 027: Unable to read the sequence number from the
Workstation Object.
Scanner(Warning) : 021: Unable to access the Custom Scan file.
Inventory is setup as a system startup event in the worstation policy,
I
have it set to the proper and only invantory database and the sql
database
is running.
What else should I be looking for?

Mind if I chime in here. I've been working a similar problem and had
the
luxury of a Novell ZEN support guy on site for a couple of days.
First, check that the settings in the zenwsimport.ncf are set as
below:
Load Java
envset
zenAWSClassPath=sys:java\njclv2\lib\jndi.jar;sys:j ava\njclv2\lib\njclv2.jar;
sys:java\lib\zenWSDel.jar;sys:java\lib\zenCommon.j ar;sys:java\lib\zenWS.jar;
sys:java\lib\autoWSManagement.jar
java -classpath
$zenAWSClassPath;$CLASSPATH -jszenWSImp
-Dlogfile=vol1:zenworks\zenwsimp.log
-Dlogfilelevel=3 -Dloglevel=3 -ns
com.novell.application.zenworks.autowsmanagement.w simport.ImportWorkstations
"TREENAME" "INVENTORYSERVERNAME.OU.OU.O"
Also, you can do verbose logging on the server. this is set in
tracerfilter.properties under sys:\public\zenworks\wminv\properties.
Set
them as below:
;*default*=BRIEF
*default*=DEBUG5 - This sets verbos logging
Then you can also set the number and size of logs in
tracerfiles.properties.
Ihave mine set as follows:
sloader= 200; 3
zenworksinvservice= 1000;50 (50 logs 1Mb in size)
This lead to me finding several workstations with a WMI problem. A
search
in the relevant log gave me the following error:
"Could not process .STR_filename due to a non-Integer insertion for
CIM_class_name.attribute_name"
A search on that in the KB pointed me to the Zenworks 3.2
documentation as
follws:
The ZfD 3.2 SP1 Inventory server deletes the .STR files and triggers a
full
scan. The following message is displayed: "Could not process
..STR_filename
due to a non-Integer insertion for CIM_class_name.attribute_name"
Explanation: You might encounter this error for any attribute of a
CIM
class such as CIM.Processor.Family.
Possible Cause: The .STR file is for a Windows 98 (and not Windows 98
SE)
workstation, which has the default version of WMI installed. The
default
version of WMI is not compatible with ZfD 3.2 SP1.
Action: You can update to correct WMI version by downloading
Microsoft's
Windows Management Instrumentation - Core Software Installation from
Microsoft WMI Web site.
Hope this helps some.

Opening-Closing Inventory problem

I have written following calc script
"Opening Balance"
IF (@ISMBR(Jan))
"Opening Inventory" = Jan;
ELSE
"Opening Inventory" = @PRIOR("Ending Balance");
ENDIF;
Also my Ending balance= Opening Balance+Adjustments-Sales; which i have defined as member formula in the Closing Balance member.
Now the problem is that the formula and script is not running for the entire 48 weeks as my formula runs after the opening inventory calc script. Opening inventory can be calculated only when there is closing inventory which is a formula. I have to run all this several times to reach to all 48 weeks figure.
So i have ended up as a loop wherein though the scripts and formula is working fine but each one is dependent on other.
Please help

Hi,
Try adding @CALCMODE(CELL); in your calc script.
"Opening Balance"
@CALCMODE(CELL);
IF (@ISMBR(Jan))
"Opening Inventory" = Jan;
ELSE
"Opening Inventory" = @PRIOR("Ending Balance");
ENDIF;
Cheers,

Video Playing problem (Zen Vision M 60

I just got my 60gb zen vision M for christmas and i started transfering files right away to test out its playback quality etc
When i get to video particularly my anime video it plays the first 5 or so seconds and then freezes... no sound and no video.
The video is a naruto video from dattebayo fansubs. I think it is divx encoded (will double check to make sure)
What should i do to solve this issue?
I have not tried any other video's as yet but will do so soon

**bleep** it looks like it's slight differences in the encoding of the files that determin whether or not they play
I used Bleach episode coded by Lunar and that worked fine.
If it is down to minor differences in encoding that's causing this problem, surely it should be fixed as soon as possible, because of the massi've amount of different ways of encoding the player isn't really fit for avi playback if it's this temperamental :/
*UPDATE*
I've looked at the bleach file that works and the Naruto file that doesn't work in GSPOT.
There are a few very minor differences that I don't really understand but the one that jumps out at me is the container:
The naruto files that don't work have the container 'Multipart OpenDML AVI, "rec list" style DivX Style "packed bitstream" AVI (223 frames in first part, 639 frames follow)' and the bleach file that works is 'OpenDML (AVI v2.0) DivX Style "packed bitstream" AVI'
I've bolded what I think the problem is, would those 223 frames (first part) be the 8/9 seconds before it freezes?
Could this be the problem?
*FURTHER UPDATE*
The naruto file that has the line 'First part 223' lasts 9 seconds whereas another file that has the line '(205 frames in first part, 32998 frames follow)' lasts 8.
I'm almost certain this is what the problem is.......any chance of a firmware fix for the avi playback not supporting multipart AVI files?

Problem zen vision:m install

when I all install from zen vision :m cd and when I connection player from usb nothing do. when I go too zen vision:M Media explorer and there write "please connect your Creative portable player "after I rewrite all but nothing.with my usb all good. I li've in Lithuania and my English speech very bad( if you know what me do write me too my skype Nick viktorasasas3333

Oh, right, sorry.
"OS Name: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Version: 5..2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600"
Though currently, I'm installing Windows XP Service Pack 3 via Windows Automatic Updates.
WMP Version: .0.572.5230
Should I uninstall WMP entirely to eliminate it as a possible factor?
(I have Winamp so I don't really need WMP.)
Are you saying that once I rollback my WMP to WMP0, my computer will be capable of reading my Zen & thus, allowing me to download the firmware and restoring it's previous condition (minus the contents-music, video, pictures, etc.)
Also, I tried to see if my Zen would try to connect to my laptop - I uninstalled the Zen program on it before connecting it, to see if anything would come up, allowing me to do anything, etc. But no, it just said "My Zen" but I couldn't do anything with that. And then I installed all of the software on the Creative Installation CD. After all of that, apparently my computer acknowledges that a device is connected via USB because it gives me an option as to what to do with it - open it, play it with wmp, explore, etc. The problem though was that the Creative program itself wouldn't acknowledge that it was connected. So I still had the "The player is not connected."
Just thought this might make a difference -
I also was looking for some kind of repair shops or sites that would be capable of repairing my Zen - the only thing I came across was http://www.zenrepair.com/Zen/index.jsp - does anyone know anything about this site? If it's reliable, etc. (Just a back up option in case this situation isn't solveable by other Zen peers.)
Also, thanks again for any help, effort, attempt, etc.

Shut Off problem / Zen Nano P

Hi.
After I bought my Zen Nano Plus it doesn?t work right anymore. It allways shut off after a while. Unfortunately it sometimes even won?t restart. So often I have to wait for hours before I can restart the player. I discovered that it works if I connect the player via USB-cable to pc. after diconnecting the cable, the player starts without any problems. I use alsmann-accus. And I haven?t any wma?s on the player. Just mp3?s!
Tried the newest firmware-update .2.03e. But nothing is better now!
I?ve heard about users with the .03.02 firmware, which havn?t any shut off-problems. I tried to flash my player with these fw, but its seems to be impossible. Is there any solution for flashing Zen with older firmware?
Thanks in advance for any comments or solutions!
Stanley

lol you sound like you have decent tech knowledge by the description in your post but I have to ask anyway. You say it keeps turning off after a while, and only works once you plug it into your comp. Is the battery dead =P? I mean that would explain why it works when you plug it in... other than that, when it shuts down does it do it like you were turning it off, or just go blank.

Frozen on re-building library, plus connection problems (Zen Mic

Yes, I read the FAQ :smileytongue: I JUST got my new Zen Micro and started putting songs on it. It started giving me trouble with the connection, but was ok for a little bit. After awhile I couldn't get a connection at all. My computer says there's no problem with the USB connection.
Also, it's stuck on the "re-building library" screen. I did the clean-up and reboot, but it still gets stuck there and I left it on for hours. According the the FAQ, it says ["Next you should try [url="http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php?name=FAQ&myfaq=yes&id_cat=8&categories =Nomad+Jukebox+Zen#23]reloading the firmware/OS[/url], but beware if you are having connection problems also with your PC you may end up with a player that has no firmware and cannot be reloaded."] But I'm having a connection problem, so I shouldn't do this?
Ahh...someone help! I just got it and I haven't even been able to use it yet! This was after waiting a week for it to be deli'vered.

Connection problems can be caused by numerous factors unfortunately.
The best test if you're able to do it is check on another PC. To see if the problem is with your player/cable or the PC.
There's a lot more advice here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.

Unusual start up problem - Zen Nomad freez

Hi, dont know if anyone can help me.
I have a Creative Zen Nomad and have not used it for about 5 months. Anyway, I decided today to see what MP3's I had left on it, and as the battery was flat I started recharging it.
So, there I was waiting for it to recharge, and it showed the initial startup Creative message with the Copyright and All Rights Reserved page etc. But for some reason it just freezes on this page and I cannot get into the proper menu. I tried to reset using the reset+pause button, but it just resets and goes staight back to the Creative front page again, and freezes.
Anyone know what this problem could be? Will it help if I take out the battery out for a while? Is it because I have not used it for such a long time? The machine has been sitting on a shelf all this time so I know it hasnt been dropped or anything.. I didnt hear the hard dri've spinning, but I thought that this may be because perhaps it only kicks in when it gets past the first screen?
Yours,
Mystified!!
Hope someone may be able to help me......

John,
It chimes, then the screen lights up a very bright blue for about 3 seconds,
So that's a good sign that the flyback is good. But also that there's a problem with the HV drive circuits.
I also tried putting in the logic board from another machine (which is broken itself, so I cannot say if this logic board is ok) & it behaved just the same.
I've worked on about 85 CRT slot iMacs and have yet to see a bad logic board.
summer 2001 600mHz Kiva, which has power but doesnt even chime.
When you say power does the screen light up?
I got a reading of 1.9v instead of 3.3v at pin 14 of the logic board/down converter connector.
The current theory on how the down converter works (since no one has seen a schematic) is that it receives a +- AC voltage from the PAV board and converts it (down) to logic board voltage. Again I've never seen a bad down converter it's always the PAV board. I have repaired these but only by replacing the flyback
I've heard the high voltage capacitors go bad. (orange ones near the flyback) also I suspect that there are electolytics that go bad. I'm working on one right now showing HV problem symptoms.
Oh and also try the inversion startup method. Try starting it up up side down. I also give it a good shake and bump. I have seen bad soldering on about 4 flybacks starting it upside down puts pressure on the solder joints and they conduct correctly. Another one I'm also working on shows this symptom.
Do you have take apart instructions? Sounds like it.

Firmware problem, Zen to

I tried to upgrade my Zen touch to the playforsure firmware, but it didn't take it, now I have a "firmware problem" message that doesn't go away, I did a cleanup, format with no luck, it only boots into recovery mode and if I try to flash it again I get a message that the player is not connected to the PC.
Is there any way to fix it's or is it the end of it's
Any help is greatly appreciated, I love my Zen Touch, especially the battery life
Thnaks in advance and happy new year!!
Erik

Hi there, I have the same Problem. Tried to update to firmware 2..0, followed the Instructions but then the Player was no more detected via usb, the update failed during the process "your player is beeing reeboted, please wait...", but nothing happened! When I tried do reconnect it in the recovery mode, my Computer didn't detect the player, the flash-tool said "player is not connectet, please connect the player"
Same problem on another system! Both System with XP-pro SP2. What can I do? What "drivers" do I need? Please help me!
Thanks!

Physical Inventory Problem

Hi Gurus
Presently I am doing the physical inventory thru Batches.
the process is : MI31 MI24 MI04 MI20 MI07
My client want physical inv stock in to one batch only. So i can count all batches stock put in to one batch.
if i did like that wht is the impact after posting the inventory.
I mean i recd the stock in diff batches. I posting the stock in to one batch
perticular mm point of you what is the problems.
Regards
Laxman

Hi
What are the characteristics you are using in batch status?
For Ex: If your batch contains SLED as one characteristic then posting all batch stock to one batch will be a big mistake..
Generally batch change is avoided because we are maintaining batch concept for distinguishing the product on ceratain parameters (characterisitcs).
Thanks

Vista problem (Zen V Plus 8

Just bought a brand new Zen V Plus 8gb... stick the CD in my pc... install software... restart computer... plug in Zen.
Windows Vista is having none of it. Cannot locate drivers, cannot install hardware, cannot find solution both off and online and simply cannot find the player. Windows media player cannot locate it, nor can the Creative software or Windows explorer
Device manager lists the device but cannot find any drivers for it.
Downloaded and installed all the software listed under support for Vista and my model.
Surely there is something not right.
Booted up my old pc with XP on it... installed CD, plugged in Zen and it worked fine. Creative cant be that in the past... is the Zen V Plus out of date already? If so let me know so I can get my money back asap!
If someone has managed to fix this problem then please let me know... frankly Creative's knowledge base message of duel boot both XP and Vista is rubbish in my opinion.

Hey. I was having the exact same issue with USB flash dri'ves. Windows Vista was just not taking any!I read somewhere a suggestion from someone on a forum suggesting to uninstall all USB controller devices in Device Manager and then "scan for hardware changes" to make them reinstall. Of course after trying this Windows Vista was not taking ANY sort of drivers for them again and I lost all USB functionality, requiring a good format, lol.. Straight after getting back to the desktop from Windows Vista's installation, I plugged in my USB flash dri've and it was recognized!It would seem that perhaps driver conflicts with other devices I installed (namely USB devices) was causing Windows Vista to not accept any more USB devices. This time after formating I was therefore very paranoid with what drivers I was using for USB devices like my webcam and Bluetooth dongle. I managed to get proper Windows Vista Bluetooth drivers this time round and managed to install the Bluetooth dongle fine and my USB flash dri've was still being recognized after. Moral of the story...be very careful with what drivers you use for your USB devices. Namely if they're fully Windows Vista compatible, stamped as such by the manufacturer of the drivers and the device in question. Perhaps this is a Windows Vista bug because why should Windows Vista incompatible drivers for my webcam say, eliminate my ability to use further USB devices that have nothing to do with my webcam?Tell you what I didn't try...unplugging all USB devices prior to plugging in my USB flash dri've. Have you tried that for your MP3 player?
I don't know if any of the above will help terribly, but at least I hope it gives you ideas. Just as a note, I plugged in my Zen V Plus (2GB) straight after booting up (without installing any software or drivers first) and it detected it properly, allowing me to transfer files. Later I installed all the software from the CD it came with, just to have the video converter and that. It's working fine!Message Edited by kayronjm on 04-24-2007:0 PM

LMS 4.0.1 - Inventory problem with 6500 VSS

Hello,
I have just made a fresh install of LMS 4.0. I installed the 4.0.1 version too. It is done on a Windows 2008 STD running a WM environment.
I have only one problem : I cannot get the inventory collection for a 6500 VSS chassis. It is discovered, I got the archive configuration, it is visible on the data topology and on CiscoView but when I try to collect it for the inventory I got the following message :
R2-C6509-01
Device Collection Failed.
Someone has an idea?
Thanks by advance,
Regards,
Abel JULIAN,
Nextiraone France.

Login to LMS, then point your browser to
http://SERVERIP:1741/rme/devices.do
select your device and click "Edit Device Attributes", then click "Inlide Edit" and adjust the SNMP timeout settings for this device; in a first step change it to 10 (default is 2); Save the settings by clicking "Modify" and on the next screen "Apply".
Retry Inventory Collection and see if it will be successful now.
