LMS 3.2: Software Distribution - Generic Error

Hy.
I need to roll out an IOS on r.a. 250 devices. But when I try to distribute any software image via RME I always get the same error. I'm unable to start the job because in step one after selecting image and devices I get "failure" for all devices. When I click on "failure" a pop-up window opens telling me "generic error". Please have a look at the attached screenshot.
What does this mean and how can I fix this? This is really urgent!
All devices are completely managable (and managed) by the LMS.
Thank in advance!
Marc

Which IOS image are you trying to deploy and which device ?
Go to Common Services --> Software Center --> Software Update and provide screenshot.
Go to RME --> Admin --> Software Management ---> View/Edit Software Prefrences and check to see if "Include Cisco.com image " for recommendation is selected. If not, check them.
Try a different image that is higher that the current one and or use a GD image.

LMS 3.2 software distribution: no result

Hi,
I have a 3750v2-48PS standalone switch (has been in a stack then removed). I wanted to upgrade its IOS by using LMS.
LMS shows me the following error
When I click on the error, it shows :
Switch has 128MB of RAM. The IOS I want to put into is c3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-58.SE1.bin, which has the following requirements:
FYI, I uploaded this IOS on another identical switch, manually, and it works. This time I want to do it with LMS.
Thanks.

Hi,
Kindly enable the debugging for the SWIM from RME > Admin > System prefrences > log level settings and enable the DEBUG for SoftwareMgmt and ConfigJob and hit APPLY
Now try the job again for one problematic device and wait for the job to complete. Note down the job id.
Kindly share the job id logs from the location :- CSCOpx\files\rme\jobs\SWIM\ -> send me the complete folder of the job id.
Also share the complete screenshot of RME > Admin > Software management > View\ Edit preferences.
Since its stack switch, kindly make sure you are using tar file of image to deploy the images from LMS.
Thanks,
Gaganjeet

RME 4.1 Software distribution gives generic error

Using LMS 3.0.1 with RME 4.1.1 I get an error when trying to distribute images.
It's same whether I used "By device" or "by image".The recommendation are run for 90 seconds and then the result are always "failure".I've tried different devices&images.All recommendation filters are deactivated.

After the recommendation phase is finished, there's a status of "failure" in the status field.If I click on the the failure status to get more information, "generic error" is the only thing in the details.I had debug activated and the swim_debug shows that the recommendation times out

Problem with Software Distribution in LMS 3.2

LMS 3.2 on Solaris 10
I'm trying to distribute IOS images via Software Mgmt. I'm getting the following error on step 2 - View Recommendations.
"SWIM0087: Recommendation module timed out while waiting for the procedure to complete.
Either the device had many images to process or one of the services used by this application is not responding.
Either fine-tune the administrative preferences to filter out any unwanted images or check the application logs for more details."
We have two LMS 3.2 systems in a master-slave configuration. Both of which were recently upgraded to LMS 3.2 from 3.0. Software distribution is working as expected on the Slave system. It was working on the Master system before the upgrade to LMS 3.2 also.
I've checked all of the administrative settings I can think of and they match on both systems.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,

Without debugs I can only guess but the symptoms you report could be caused by a few corrupted files.
You could try the following as it has solved similar situations.
Move SharedHelpACE.zip, SharedSwimACE.zip, and SharedSwimGSS.zip somewhere outside the CSCOpx directory.
The files can be found:
\CSCOpx\www\classpath\com\cisco\nm\xms\psu\pkgs\rme
As well as:
\CSCOpx\MDC\tomcat\webapps\rme\WEB-INF\lib\pkgs
Then restart the services:
net stop crmdmgtd
net start crmdmgtd
If this proves unsuccessful then replace the files in their original locations.

Error found in Software Distribution log

I found below error in my software distribution log. I think it is related to WSUS and many comptuers are not getting proper patches. Any resolution is really appriciated
2014-11-24 15:27:26.773 UTC   Warning   w3wp.325   SoapUtilities.CreateException   ThrowException: actor = http://xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.com:8530/ClientWebService/client.asmx, ID=e5cd4691-63d8-4740-b5a6-f732027896db,

What do you mean of "not getting proper patches"?
Did these clients fail to update with any error code?
Almost certainly the above log entry is occurring in combination with an 0x8024400D error code ... a very common manifestation of duplicated SusClientIDs.
The log snippet on the client side would look something like this:

Error 10038 - Software Distribution Paused

On one machine, I'm getting error 10038
"The program for advertisement "S0xxxxxx" has not been run yet ("S0yyyyyy" - "App - Install"). Software Distribution is currently paused on this computer, and it has to be resumed before this program can begin."
This is for all apps that should be run, mandatory and optional.
Matching error in execmgr.log file is "This program cannot run because a reboot is in progess or software distribution is paused."
Cause? Well, user inadvertantly ran a USMT capture TS the other day, which has a shutdown command at the end. Always works fine, normally. However, suspect but cannot confirm that user 'interfered' with the shutdown process, as they would have been seeing whole thing happen and probably not been happy about the shutdown as they were trying to work. (Let's not get into why users will blindly click on anything that pops up in their in-tray!)
Since then, no other adverts will run. Machine has been restarted several times.
So, how do I tell the client that it should unpause Software Distribution because there really is no restart or TS in progress anymore?
I have searched online, but there are almost no pages found relating to this error.
(NB: Client is Vista SP1, Site is SCCM SP1 with R2.)

Please have a look at those registry keys:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Mobile Client\Software Distribution\State
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Task Sequence
There might be some values that were not set to 0 again (I have no ConfigMgr client right next to me but it was obvious what to set from 1 to 0 IIRC)
Just following up on my post, we upgraded to SP2, still an issue (random), not an issue with a specific TS (random again). After stumbling on another post somewhere and digging into the registry, changing the same above values mentioned by Torsten, resolved the issue.
All that I change is "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Mobile Client\Software Distribution\State" change the values for "Paused" and "Paused Cookie" to a 0 , so it reads 0x00000000 (0) this resolves the issue, at first I was stopping ccmexec, changing the value, starting ccmexec, but that is not required, just change the value and your good to go.
Roger Zanders SCCM Client Centre has this built in to client actions, confirmed what his action does and it just changes the registry value.
Now as this is a random issue for random clients and random TS, any ideas how we can get a permanent solution, is this classed as bug?
Proposing Torsten's response as the answer.

Software Distribution - Problem with 1921 Routers

Hello everybody,
we are having some weird troubles in our Cisco LMS 4.2
A Software Distribution works fine for all kinds of our Routers, except the 1921 models. We are using SCP and SSH for the Image distribution and the exactly same configuration on a 1841 and a 1921 works on the 1841 Router but on the 1921 not.
I didn't found any Bugs related to this, maybe it's a problem with the lms settings?
Done so far:
- Deleted the device in LMS, added it via discovery and manually, no change here
- Tried with different IOS versions, no change here, no one will work
- Set the credentials after adding the device again, to make sure they are valid
When creating a new distribution job, we get this error at Step 3 of 5 only at the 1921 Router, so I guess this might be the problem:
Warning
- SWIM1056: The method to update the software on the selected storage device is unknown.
Select a different Flash partition, if available.
I attached a SWIM_debug logfile from a failed job. (changed all the DNS names do XXXDNSNAMEXXX).
Thanks for your help

More than USB it could be SCP. There is a know bug for SCP on 19xx router :
CSCuc98074 LMS 4.2.2 Software Image Distribution fails with SCP on 1921 routers
Just try to change SCP to other protocol and see it that works. Make sure you have all device packages updated for LMS.
-Thanks

A generic error occurred in GDI+ while assing tiff image file to Bitmap and Image

Hi,
I am getting "A generic error occurred in GDI+" error while reading the tiff image file to Bitmap or Image.
Below is my sample code.
string filePath=@"c:\Images\sample.tif";
Bitmap bmp=new Bitmap(filePath); // here getting exception
int totalpages=bmp.GetFrameCount(.....);
etc......
I tried using Bitmap.FromFile() and also from FromStream() even for Image also but there is no use.
Moreover i m having full permissions for the file path and the tiff file is having multiple pages.
Can anyone help me to solve this issue please.
Thanks & Regards,
Kishore
Kishore

Make sure that the Tif file is valid (can other software open it)? If you are able to save a Tif using GDI+, try saving that Tif, then opening it. Part of me wonders if there is something about that specific Tif that GDI+ doesn't like.
You could also try using WIC to open the TIF, perhaps you would have better luck there.

Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv file?

I went through the forums and made sure that any blocks or copywrites weren't triggered by the file, it's clean and can be opened using a media player and other video editing software like windows MovieMaker. I keep getting "The importer reported a generic error" message and have no idea how to proceed. Can someone please help?

Re: Why do I get "generic error" message when trying to upload a self-created, 1hr .wmv file?
This ARTICLE starts with a checklist on setting up a computer to run PrE best, then goes into a series of links for tuning up one's computer and OS, and then links on troubleshooting.
There is also a link on posting all necessary info, to help others help you.
Without knowing much more about your system, it is impossible to say much beyond that WMV's are tough assests to work with, requiring a lot of CPU horsepower.
Good luck,

Generic error

i keep getting add media fail, the importer reported a generic error when i tryed inporting a song i paid for on itunes is there any way to fix this??

iTunes music includes digital rights management software that will keep you from using it in a video project. (That's why most people buy music for use in videos from Amazon.com, which doesn't have this DRM software.)
To get around this, you will need to burn your iTunes music to a CD and then rip it back to your computer. I also recommend converting the file to a WAV for best performance.

Generic Error on all reports

I am a salesforce.com veteran user who is trying to get Dynamics CRM up and running for a small business. This software was purchased several years ago and never implemented because no one could figure out how to do it. I wanted
to run a very simple report to see which accounts have an account number tied to them and which do not. I can get through the report wizard but at the very end, I get a generic error message that says "Error Uploading Report". An error occurred while
trying to add the report to Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Try again, if the problem continues check the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Community" I am the administrator so this is not a permission issue. All the forums talk about needing to do stuff with SQL and code.
I don't do code. I am a salesperson trying to get some very basic information out of this system. Is it even possible for a non-programmer to create and run a report in Dynamics? I find most everything ridiculously complicated. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated. Remember, you are dealing with a salesperson, not a programmer. Thanks again!

Hello,
I'm not pretty sure why do you need Report for such kind of task - Advanced Find would be enough. Regarding issues with reports I would suggest to
turn-on trace, restart IIS and then repeat creation of a report - once error occurred recheck traces for explanation why error occurred.
