Issues with External Disk in Mountain Lio
I have a Mac mini from mid-2010 come pre-installed with Snow Leopard (no install disks were given). I upgraded to Lion and then Mountain Lion. I used a 1TB Iomega external hard drive formatted for Mac OS Extended (Journaling) as my Time Machine backup disk until 2 days ago when my disk suddenly became unwriteable after a Finder crash.
Opened Disk Utility the first time:
Verifier did not complete and told me to repair the disk
Repair failed too and notified me to back up files, reformat, and restore. As this is where I store the time machine backups, I wasn't sure what to do.
I ejected the disk, unplugged the USB from my computer and plugged it back in.
"Mac OS X can't repair the disk" and information on inability to save
when I opened Disk Utility again
Verifier failed.
Repair failed
Attempted to remount the disk and received an error
Ejected the disk
Reload disk
Same inabiltiy to write error as above
Disk Utility attempt 3:
Tried to restore files on an emergency backup drive and even that failed.
Verify failed
Repair failed
I reformat the disk and then try to run verification when it mounts again
Still fails, told to repair disk
Repair fails, tells me to reformat again
So now not only did I lose my backups and files, the reformat did not fix the disk issue.
Strangest thing is that when I reformatted the drive for Windows on my laptop the drive had no issues loading and using a file recovery program I was able to recover many files I lost in the reformat (despite the directory loss) but no backups. i am about to test the recovered files when they finish being unRARed (I had to compress them to fit on a USB). The disk still runs without any issue on windows.
As I'm using my emergency backup drive (a 3TB Seagate) with Time Machine after this incident I want to know how to prevent a repeat of this incident or a way to make my Iomega usable on my Mac mini again. Currently running OS X 10.8.2.
See if this makes any difference...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Try reformatting the external there & see if it verifies/mounts OK.

Issues with External Hard Drives
I hope this is the right forum for this one - please give me a steer if not! I've also posted it in 'Dock and Finder', but this forum seems equally appropriate, if not more so.
I'm getting repeated issues with External Hard Drives, including ones that I have been using successfully for months/years, suddenly failing to mount and then becoming 'unknown device' through the firewire branch of 'About This Mac'.
I've just bought a new hard drive on the grounds that the others had somehow failed, and the same problems are emerging. I decided to Repair Permissions on my iMac's internal drive, and am copying the results below, from repair runs conducted yesterday and today:

Permissions repair complete
My concerns are:
* Some of the permissions repaired yesterday appear to have needed to be repaired again today
* There are several files which carry a warning that they won't be repaired as they have been 'modified', and some of these clearly relate to disk management.
Does anyone have any ideas what is going on???
Thanks!!Many problems with the 10.5.7 update have been fixed by a Restart.
If that doesn't help, something may have gone wrong with the update. Download and install the "combo" update, from: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_7_ComboUpdate
If that doesn't help, try running the Apple Hardware Test, on the disc that came with your computer.
1. Disconnect all external devices (including the Ethernet cable) except the keyboard and mouse.
2. Insert the "Additional Software & Apple Hardware Test" disc that came with your computer.
3. Restart while holding down the "C" key. When the list of available startup volumes appears, click Apple Hardware Test and the right arrow.
4. When the Apple Hardware Test main screen comes up (after a moment), follow the on screen instructions.
5. If it detects a problem, an error code will be displayed. Make a note of it. -

My 10.7.3 Time Machine won't work with external disks. Worked fine with Snow Leopard, and even Lion 10.7.1
I have tried everything, even buy new external disk from different manufacture.
If I cant get a fix soon, I am downgrading back to SnowL.Still no luck. I tried all the tricks, reconfiguring TM (remove selected disk option, and re-setting it, and trying different disks). Tried new combo updater, and the newer TM update after that. Tired two different disks too (one is my older firewire WD MyBook 1TB, and my brand new 3tb Seagate GoFlex USB... either one plugged into back of computer - no intermediary devices). I did get the TM buddy wiget and it produced the following log, from the last attempt, where I setup lots of exclusions so that backup quantity was small (under 10gb). Still it failed to complete. Here is that log, for what it is worth:
Starting standard backup
Backing up to: /Volumes/TM-Disk/Backups.backupdb
9.56 GB required (including padding), 911.15 GB available
Waiting for index to be ready (101)
Copied 0 files (0 bytes) from volume Mac HD.
Backup canceled.
To prove a point, I will take these disks are run them on my other Tiger and Snow Leopard laptops to prove TM works fine on those with these disks. But I fear the only options are to either have my tech re-install LION... or just have him reinstall SL instead. Im at wits end. -
Issues with External Sound Devices & others - 13" Late 2011
Good day community,
Out of curiosity, I run Diablo 3 on OS X and its been unplayable since ROS expansion, massive fps drops and crashes, Blizzard claims Apple stopped improving hd3000 drivers on 10.8.3, is this true? Also when I run the game through windows via bootcamp it performs better and doesn't not crash, is this related to hd3000 driver support still being improved in windows?
Other issues I'm experiencing, facetime most of the time fails if I try to pickup a call from the macbook, sometimes it notifies me of the incoming call (iphone 5s) sometimes it doesn't. Bluetooth doesn't work, not even with apple devices, I can't pair any of them. External sound devices such as m-audio fast track pro, native instruments audio 8 dj, allen & heath xone 4d, they all have latency issues and sound clips and pops, even with the onboard sound I experience this if I open a couple graphic editing software while playing itunes. Checked sample rate in audio/midi setup, drivers, firmware, everything seems up to date, I'm not using a USB hub, I updated to Yosemite from Mavericks, which was a terrible upgrade from Mountain Lion and it completely lagged the computer, so when I upgraded to Yosemite I ran disk utility from boot and apparently repaired the hard drive successfully. Performance is better but none of the above issues were solved.
So I'm thinking about formatting from scratch but wanted to drop a line here and see if others have any of these issues and/or some tips.
Thank you for your time.

i5Hi Lyndon4321,
I know that can be frustrating when using an external display, but take a look at the article below to continue troubleshooting. I would take a look at Reset the system and work you way down.

Since installing Mountain Lion my screen periodically locks up an shifts to the right. I noticed along the left a charcoal background with large dot pattern was showing while the screen was shifted and locked to the right. Then a few times the widgets screen popped up on its own and I realized the background matched what I was seeing when the lock ups happen (I have never used the widgets). So it appears the Widgets screen keeps trying to launch spontainiously. I did notice the Fetch widget had an alert on it and with some investigation found that Fetch Works no longer had a widget for Mountain Lion, so I just deleted it. This I thought fixed the bug but now today the shifting and locking up has started again. I did take the machine in to have a Genius run a diagnostic because of the hard drive issue with the iMacs but he said all looked fine and reinstalled Mountain Lion while I was there to see if that helped.. but it did not. Has anyone else run into this? If so, were you able to fix it? it actually just happened twice while I was typing this and I had to sit and wait for it to not be locked up so I could complete...
You can use the Mountain Lion USB disk that you created or you can press Command and R keys on boot, but it will download OS X Mountain Lion from the Internet

What is the correct fsck syntax for issue with invisible disk ?
Hello everybody,
My problem actually (I also have a problem with the 17" Install DVD) is to repair *3 disks* with *fsck command*, as the filesystems are damaged. I phoned Apple Assistance Saturday, for about 30 minutes, but finally the Advisor sent me a link to one of their thousands (and sometimes obsolete) articles, and the solution wasn't there entirely.
I'll describe you the problem :
One of my USB external disks (4TB data) *doesn't appear* after Startup, but when I use the Install DVD and Disk Utility, the application tells me it's OK, that the disk "SEEMS" to be alright etc. That's false.
When I reboot with *Cmd + S* (root level), and tell Terminal (I have been obliged to print the four states of an American Extended keyboard) :
"sudo fsck -fy /dev/disk4s1"
the reply is :
"BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG
LOOK FOR ALTERNATE SUPERBLOCKS? yes
SEARCH FOR ALTERNATE SUPER-BLOCK FAILED. YOU MUST USE THE
-b OPTION TO FSCK TO SPECIFY THE LOCATION OF AN ALTERNATE
SUPER-BLOCK TO SUPPLY NEEDED INFORMATION; SEE fsck(8)."
So, I use the *-b option* of *fsck command*, and :
"fsck: -b flag *requires a number*"
"-b size Specify the size, in bytes, of the physical blocks used by
the -B option."
So, I'm searching *since 3 days* (and *I'm learning a lot*, but nothing, of course, concerning my problem) the full info command to know *what sector address* I have to tell to -b to install an alternate superblock, because I need to know exactly at which places filesystems and *data start* and end.
You understand, I suppose, that I can't use any of my softwares, because the disk is INVISIBLE (doesn't exist) after normal restarting.
It's not MOUNTED nor UNMOUNTED.
It exists (very well, thank you) when rebooting *with Apple Install DVD*.
I'm under *Snow Leopard 10.6.5*, and I don't know if, perhaps,
*there wouldn't be a problem* (or more) with this update ...
That's what I've seen, in any case, on other places here,
about several different issues.
Please, Bob, Gary, Camelot, etresoft, Bill, Jun, Nils, Cole, Charles, Michael,
gimme some help !
If someone has the full solution, a beginning of solution,
or a path to solution,
thank you very, very much in advance !
With my best regards
VialatteDear Camelot,
First, thank you very much for answering me and try to help me ;
Secundo, please read, if you have time, what I replied to Bill Scott,
and I have to thank you also for your slightly better contribution and understanding.
Some words of what I've replied to him are written for you too :
"I type *sudo fsck -fy /dev/disk4s2* (not s1, of course, and *Camelot is perfectly right*, having remarked this mistake, as *s1 is dedicated to partition map* volumes).
There's also *a strange thing* with Disk Utility when starting from DVD :
it doesn't display the s1 volumes as usual."
As you've read it in my reply to Bill, it's a *complicated issue* and *Apple has no response*.
You tell me : "+Good luck with that.+" It starts badly.
"+It's been a long time since I've had to deal with superblocks+"
I totally ignored their existence …
"+- they just don't come up any more,+" What is the meaning of this sentence ?
"+but I don't know any way of recovering the superblock address after a disk has failed.+" That's the matter of my question : *Is it a failure ?*
"+Typically (at least, historically) you get the superblock addresses in advance, storing them somewhere safe until you need them.+"
That's a total discovery for me.
You tell me then : "+Are you talking about in the Finder here?+" Yes and no, I talk about the Sidebar (see below), but it's part of the Finder.
"+Have you checked the Finder's preferences to make sure it's just not hiding external drives?+" I did, when you told me to do so.
"+Since everything else tells you that the drive is OK+" Yes, you're right, when starting from Install DVD, that's *very strange*, but remember fsck doesn't say *the same at all* as Disk Utility ... "+this just sounds like a Finder preference setting to me.+"
I'm sorry, it would have been wonderful. My settings are correct, that means :
NOTHING on Desktop, ALL (including Computer) in the Sidebar (and clicking on Computer allows me to check that *no volume* has vanished from Sidebar (it happens sometimes).
"+If it's not the Finder prefs, then please post the output of diskutil list in order to troubleshoot further.+"
Here it is (a little far below), but there's *none of the 2 4TB volumes* (yes, there are two disks missing now) here, because, as I already said that, they are invisible for the Finder and *Disk Utility*, and I think *it's the same for Terminal.*
You'll note there's *no BOOTCAMP partition* here (I removed it temporarly to solve this issue), and don't be afraid if there are several systems on the internal HD.
As I noticed it here and there, there are problems with 10.6.5.
So, I try to work with 10.6.4 (delivered with MBP 17"), but have also an universal 10.6.0 Snow Leopard, with which I can configurate 10.6 *at any state*.
Unfortunately, I *can't use* (it so that Apple decided to do) the DVD delivered with my 15" MBP (rejected by 17"), because it is with my MBP 15" that I formatted those disks.
*Another thing :* If I didn't want my wife *to install herself* (with me to help her) the 15" MBP I've gave to her (there's the 17" new 500GB 5400rpm installed in it by me), I would already have tried to connect these two 4TB, just to see.

As you and I see, I strongly believe that disk15s2 and disk16s2 (with s3, s4, s5 etc. partitions) are missing.
I must find a way to prove what I say to you. Remember that we are not in the case where I use *Cmd + s* after rebooting with Install DVD, but under normal utilisation. What follows has no interest :
Last login: Fri Nov 26 21:23:55 on ttys006
sys171064:~ OH$ sudo fsck -fy /dev/disk15s2

/dev/disk15s2: No such file or directory
Can't stat /dev/disk15s2
Can't stat /dev/disk15s2: No such file or directory
sys171064:~ OH$
So, I will now restart my MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.4 Install DVD, and go :
—1 in *Disk Utility* ;
—2 in Terminal (with *Cmd + s*).
I'll *note all* what I see, and then write you what I found.
You'll be nice to tell me if there's a way, in these conditions,
a) to *save Disk Utility log* ; or/and
b) to *save Terminal Output(s)* (.txt) ; or/and
c) to *take and save screenshots*, ; or/and
d) to *print anything*. (?)
as I don't know how it's possible to save these informations.
Thank you once more for your help. I'll do things now, but as it is 23:02 here in France, maybe I won't write you till tomorrow.
But, if you can answer to a), b), c) or d) above, post it to me please, because I'll go back here tonight.
And, also, *but I don't want to bore you*, I'd like to learn how to *copy and paste parts of messages* as you did, and how to *insert a Grab item (.png)* in a discussion, because an image is better than thousand words (that's what we say in France, but I'm sure we are not alone on Earth — like in the Universe).

FireWire issues with external drive in Yosemite
I have just upgraded to OS X Yosemite, and I have an annoying problem with my 500GB FireWire external drive (which I use for Time Machine backups).
Basically, after updating the drive won't show up anymore, neither in the Finder nor in the Disk Utility. I also tried the "diskutil list" command in the Terminal, but it is nowhere to be found. Note that the drive does indeed receive power from the port - it spins - and when I look into System Report --> Hardware --> FireWire it does show up there (but I can't mount it). Furthermore, if I use a USB cable to connect the drive everything works fine, so the disk itself seems to be OK.
The funny thing is that if I boot with the drive plugged in the FireWire port the system mounts it normally. But as soon as I eject the drive, I am unable to mount it again (unless I switch to the USB cable, as mentioned above).
Prior to the update, everything worked flawlessly. For now, I backed up my Mac via USB 2.0, but it's very slow and I definitely don't want to resort to this workaround everytime. And it goes without saying that I don't like having issues with my primary backup device in general.
I already did all the usual troubleshooting (rebooting, resetting NVRAM and SMC, ...), but the problem still persists.
Any suggestion?I had the same issue on a rMBP 13'', brand new 2015 March.
Two thunderbolt adapter connected: one for ethernet, one for firewire Lacie drive.
and...
even after taking the ext. Firewire on the Spotlight exclude list, and also after disabling sleeping hard drives, I always got the issue.
Until I realized that touching the laptop or moving the screen was immediately leading to disconnection.
Then I exchanged the thunderbolt connectors, and now it is stable and does not disconnect again.
??? Maybe one of the ports is more "delicate" than the other?
Big hardware weakness here... -
Firewire to Thunderbolt Issues with External HD
I purchased the Iomega eGo BlackBelt portable HD (http://www.amazon.com/Iomega-BlackBelt-FireWire-Portable-35115/dp/B0041EM9XM/ref =pd_sxp_f_pt) a few years ago and have backed up my MacBook Pro using time machine. The cable is a firewire 800 with theses connections (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=12-200-730&Tpk=N82E16812200730). The rounded side goes into the MacBook Pro. I am trying to get it to connect to my new MacBook Air with Thunderbolt. The Apple Firewire to Thunderbolt addapter does not fit the one end of the cable. So I purchased the Belkin Firewire 9-9 Pin Cable (http://www.belkin.com/us/F3N418-APL-Belkin/p/P-F3N418-APL;jsessionid=89030857685 109325329E6412E872E81) to use instead of the one that came with the HD. However, there is no power going to the HD. I've tried the split USB also with no luck. It powers with the original cable on the Pro, but not the Belkin cable and Apple adapter on the Air. Any suggestions?

You can go on about your mistrust of eSata to Firewire bridges, etc., but my experience
.......internal configuration of the Iomega drive
What changed?
Erratic performance
1. Iomega doesnt make HD, there are only 4 HD (conventional) mfg. on earth current, Hitachi, Toshiba, WD, and Seagate. The HD in the older Iomega is a Samsung not made anymore.
2. Youre presuming its "my mistrust of SATA bridge hardware" or a subjective limited conclusion......its not.
Its an empirical fact that SATA bridge hardware in USB to SATA HD or (little used, little owned) Firewire to SATA HD is "the most UNTRUSTWORTHY storage failure point that exists"
3. Erratic performance........thats why some of us call it "haunted hard drive" syndrome. The HD acts illogical, power and issues with appearing in disk utility.......logical diagnosis becomes 'hard' because the SATA interface has often no straightforward ABC.... failing profile.....
I answer no less than about 40 questions a month here that are related to failing or failed SATA bridge cards.
Ive got no less than a dozen dead ones laying around the house.
In fact in one day (no joke) I had 2 SATA bridge cards die on me. Confirmed that it was the bridge cards.
This hardware USED to be permanently attached to USB hard drives, but the mfg. realized this part failed SO much SO often they made it a detachable part.
SeattleLonginTheTooth
What might we infer from this?
Possibly the Thunderbolt adapter alone isn't supplying adequate or stable power,
"my experience" is a lot more extensive with external HD media.
Yes, and that also indicates SATA card issue.......which manifests in 2 ways most often, recognition issues and power drop "lost HD" issues.
the SATA bridge card as found inside USB HD devices which has an extremely high failure rate.
Inside a USB hard drive, containing the HD and SATA card
Countless 1000s of good external hard drives are thrown away each year because the owner thought the HD was bad when it fact it was the SATA bridge card which had failed. This card is removed in a matter of mere second once an external USB HD is cracked open from its plastic casing to reveal the bare HD and the attached SATA card which attaches between the HD and the USB cable. -
One USB port does not work with external Disk or USB key
Hello,
Back to my iMAC there is 3 USB port. The second one - in the middle - does not work pluging an external Disk, an USB key or an iPOD nano. However it works well connecting a Wacom tablet.
Is there an explanation to this behaviour ?
More the keyboard is plugded on USB port 1 and the mouse on the keyboard. Time to time - especially at reboot - I have to unplugged the mouse and plugged again it in order it works.
In advance thank you for your answers
RegardsSince it does not work for three different devices, I will assume it is not something simple like a faulty USB cable. Since it does work for one device, I will also assume that the port is (at least partially) working.
As a test to narrow down the cause, I would try restarting from your Mac OS X installation disc (insert disc and restart with the C key held down).
At the first Installer screen (after language selection), go up the menu bar. Under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility. Now, connect the USB drive into that center port. Does it appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?
Please post back the result... -
Hey – I am having a very strange issue with my external monitor; where it only works if my external speakers are plugged in and connected.
I am using a late 2011 Macbook pro, running Mavericks 10.9.4, along with an MBox 2 (USB Audio Interface), and two powered speakers (KRK Rokit 5). This setup has had no issues. I have just acquired an external monitor (Benq T2200HD), which I am using with a thunderbolt to VGA adaptor (a cheap Chinese knockoff adaptor).
To start - I plugged the monitor in with the thunderbolt adaptor, and it powers up and works fine. However, there is a nasty buzz coming from the speakers. I did some research and it looks like a simple ground loop issue. I did a bit of troubleshooting, and this is where things get weird.
What I found is - If I unplug the MBox, the monitor loses signal from the computer (displaying ‘No Signal Detected!’). Further, if I keep the MBox plugged in, however unplug both the cables from the MBox to the speakers, the monitor loses signal. It doesn’t matter if the speakers are turned off, however they need to be plugged in (or the monitor loses signal). Weirder still, I can unplug the MBox, however the monitor will work if I plug in the speakers through my macs headphone jack.
Simply put, the monitor only works if there is a direct connection between the computer, the speakers, and the power source. What is going on here? Is the monitor grounding through the computer port, to the speakers (I don’t know how this works, is this possible?). Could it somehow be the cheap VGA adaptor I am using?
Some other information:
- Everything is plugged into the same multi-box for power. I have tried plugging things into separate sources, and the result is the same.
- If I unplug the thunderbolt adaptor, then the speaker noise disappears straight away.
- The ground noise doesn’t appear in my headphones, which are plugged into the MBox.
Any information would be great – am I missing something here, or is this genuinely weird?Well, I went back into Best Buy to test on 3 other laptops (2 Asus, and their floor model for this Sony). It seems to be doing the same problem so at least I was able to rule out broken hardware issue on my particular laptop.
Here's what I did to test:
Since I couldn't really install Adobe Premiere on their machines, I used the DVIO software (http://www.carr-engineering.com/dvio.htm) and a 5 min clip I captured. I transferred onto their machines, hooked up my Sony D8, and attempted to play the video. It would play for 15 seconds and then stop and jitter with a loud noise (like it does on my laptop). I even tried changing each machine's firewire driver to the legacy one and same results. I pulled a brand new 4 pin to 4 pin firewire cable off their shelf and still the same problem.
I think I've nailed it down to Win7x64 bit Home Edition not playing nice with Firewire driver. Very annoying. I can't find any concrete evidence of this from other users on any of the forums that have my particular problem, but from my own testing, it's all I can conclude.
I have 2 other things I can try:
1. Opening the laptop and looking at the firewire to maybe find appropriate driver (ugh, I don't want to have to open this thing up).
2. Upgrading to Win7x64bit Pro and possibly testing with XP on the new MS Virtual PC (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/). I can't do it with my Home edition apparantly.
Who needs to view video on an external TV anyways....sheeesh...(scarcasm).

Hi All,
I'm new to the Mac world, recently I've bought a MBA 2012 13', and I've attached a 640GB USB3 Hard drive, I've partitioned this drive as 320GB NTFS, and 320GB HFS (Journaled not case sensitive), I've setup Time Machine to use this drive drive and after few days the MBA starts to freezes and reboot, after that the MBA enter in a loop and freezes every 5 mins, until I unplug the disk or I wipe the HFS partition.
Here's the log, any help?

(I wiped the disk twice and after few days I have the same issue)
By the way, I want to know if it's possible to have on the same disk two partitions, one with HFS and NTFS,and use the HFS one for Time Machine, is this possible? if yes, may someone explain me the correct steps to prepare the disk? (I don't need too much details, just steps)
Thanks in advance -
Cisco Agent Desktop / Supervisor Desktop Issue with Full Disk Encryption
Has anyone had any issues related to running Cisco Agent Desktop or Cisco Supervisor Desktop on a machine running full disk encryption? Our desktop team installed full disk encryption software from Check Point, and it seams to be causing some issues with call monitoring, screen pops via workflow and connectivity to the UCCX server. It's not effecting every machine (that we know of), but the fix for us right now is to provide a desktop without the encryption software. I'm just wondering if this is related to us, or if there is any supporting documentation out there?
Any help is apprecicated.CAD for IPCCX v4 does not support windows 7. See compatibility matrix:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_compatibility/matrix/crscomtx.pdf
In my experience if you already have CAD installed and you upgrade the OS (without a fresh rebuild) CAD will work - but it is NOT supported. You should test this though.
You will not be able to install the older version of CAD on windows 7, the installer will give you errors.

FSCK and reboot issues with external USB drive
I'm having an issue with an external USB hard drive I'm using. I've always had issues with this drive cause my reboot to "freeze" when it's mounted. Basically the system message with be sent out, but it doesn't actually proceed with the reboot. No switch to init 6 or anything, but the shutdown process is still active. I can continue to use the computer as usual, but I can't cancel the existing shutdown or try to enter init level 6 by hand. So I just got around this by unmounting the drive before I shutdown. However, lately when I try to unmount the drive I get an error saying that the drive is in use and I should check to see what processes are using it by runing lsof or fuser.
Yesterday I tried copying dsome files from the drive but there wasn't and activity on the drive. cp didn't report any errors though, it just sat there and did nothing. I tried running fsck on the drive, but didn't get much farther. I'll see some activity on the drive for about a second, then all activity stops and fsck just sits there. When I try to kill fsck, it won't. Even with a kill -9.
I'm really confused as to what is going on. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone have any ideas what could be causing all this or what I can do to stop this? Thanks in advance!

[email protected]Press the reset button on the device. It is located between the USB and power ports. Make sure to take-out the external USB drive before you reset the device. Or you can also restore the defaults by accessing the Administration tab > Factory Defaults sub-tab in the router’s web-based setup page. Check out this link for the set up; http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=32cffead811249aea7e9fc6730bf59ad_KB25681_EN_v1.xml...

Issue with external WSDL in own Outbound interface using SOAP UI
Hello,
this is the issue:
a) Imported an external WSDL to PI as external definition
b) Added external definition to a sync. Service interface
c) Completed configuration and created a WSDL from the sender agreement in Directory (this is PI 7.1)
d) imported the WSDL from c) to soap UI which we are using for testing interfaces
(already successful with other sync interface where the WSDL from c) contains a message type created in PI
e) testing this interface results in an error:
Error message in MONI:
SAP:Error SOAP:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

<SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>
</SAP:Error>
This is the message as it looks like in soapUI:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:com="http://jusit.hp.com/sys/common/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<props>
<com:Property>
<com:PropertyName>A</com:PropertyName>
<com:PropertyValue>1</com:PropertyValue>
</com:Property>
</props>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
This is the payload in MONI as it comes from SOAP UI (using http connection):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?><!-- Mapping der Request-Message -->
<props xmlns:com='http://jusit.hp.com/sys/common/' xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'>
<com:Property>
<com:PropertyName>A</com:PropertyName>
<com:PropertyValue>1</com:PropertyValue>
</com:Property>
</props>
This is the payload as it looks like in Mapping Test in Enterprise Repos. from implemented ext.def.:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:props xmlns:ns0="http://jusit.hp.com/sys/common/">
<ns0:Property>
<ns0:PropertyName>A</ns0:PropertyName>
<ns0:PropertyValue>1</ns0:PropertyValue>
</ns0:Property>
</ns0:props>
Is there any restriction with external definitions to be used in PI which could be the reason for this strange behaviour?
The implementation contained a message type created in PI earlier which was running successful!
The problem came up with the external definition!
Thank you for your help!
Best regards
DirkHi,
the problem is not the mapping as it is 1:1 with the same message on both sides.
But when I replace the "com"s with "ns0" and "props" with "ns0:props" in the request in soap UI
the payload will be accepted and mapping is successful!
So the issue is about the modification soap UI is doing on the imported WSDL.
a) Generated request in soap UI from imported WSDL: FAILS in PI!!!!
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:com="http://test.ap.com/sys/common/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<props>
<com:Property>
<!You may enter the following 2 items in any order>
<com:PropertyName>?</com:PropertyName>
<com:PropertyValue>?</com:PropertyValue>
</com:Property>
</props>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
b) Modified request in soap UI from imported WSDL: WILL BE PROCESSED IN PI
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns0="http://test.ap.com/sys/common/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<ns0:props>
<ns0:Property>
<!You may enter the following 2 items in any order>
<ns0:PropertyName>B</ns0:PropertyName>
<ns0:PropertyValue>5</ns0:PropertyValue>
</ns0:Property>
</ns0:props>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
But is there any possibility to avoid this effect in soap UI?
Regards
Dirk
