Load fails to DSO with Caller 01 02 error.

Hi All,
I am trying to load data to an ODS whose DS is 2lis_12_vcitm. It throws an error Caller 09 Error... Error at Source System. When we analysed in R/3 it says there is an issue with the Material Conversion.
11.12.2008 06:58:07 Quantities cannot be converted for the material 350000029 MM 328 E
11.12.2008 06:58:07 Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE 00 564 A
I figured it out why this error is occuring. I have added a new attribute ZBISMT - Old Material Number to 0material yesterday. I defined ZBISMT as CHAR 18 with Conversion Routine as ALPHA and did a load to 0material which was successful.
Since there is an issue with ODS I thought this is due to the conversion routine and thus I tried changing the conversion routine of ZBISMT to MATN1. Tried reloading 0material so that i can go ahead with DSO loading.But the Load to 0Material fails with the issue System Response
A caller 01, 02 or equal to or greater than 20 contains an error meesage.
What conversion routine do I need to define for ZBISMT. So that All the loads wuld be successful. Please Help.
Thanks in Advance
Harika

Hi Harika,
You should give the conversion routine given in R/3. For this you need to see in R/3 systems SE11 --> DOMAIN --> BISMT display You should look for conversion routine in R/3 and the same need to be applied in BW as well.
Hope this helps

Hi,
Under normal circumstances it should be enough to restart the connection service.
As far as we know there is no formal solution to this problem from SAP yet but restarting the connection service is much less of an interuption compared to restarting the the SIA.
Re-starting the connection service should resolve this issue. since, Connection service is only related to DeskI and Rich Client re-statrng wonu2019t impact other business objects components including java report panel.

Premiere elements 11 failed to install with the error about shared technologies

PRE 11 failed to install with the error "The installation process has encountered an error while installing shared technologies. Please restart your system and try again" all that does is uninstall everything and I have to restart agin with the same error and we go on. So far the only way it is working is at the point of the "error message" I run task manager and stop the installer, I know it's leaving files that should be removed by the installer, but it worked. This information was gained on one of the forums and seems to work. Yesterday was the first time I really used it fully and although I was able to create a project I cannot output it as a file (mpg), it starts to output ok then throws up an error and fails. As PRE 10 was still installed I imported the project (which amazed me) into PRE 10 and outputted as required with no error. All this may be due to something being wrongly installed or not being installed in PRE 11, I don't know. Can anybody help

Failed to execute with the error Overflow converting from...

I have a query filter for UPC in Webi Report. The report is not working for one UPC (for other UPC's the report is working fine)...it gives error "failed to execute with the error Overflow converting from '6218090010'. (WIS 10901)". The same error is coming when I ran MDX in MDXTEST command in BW. When I take the UPC filter from the query filter the report runs fine and I see this UPC in the report.

App-v 5 and Office2013 Volume Licence Edition - package fails to install with script error

We have used the MS Office Depolyment Tool for click-to-run to download the latest Office 365 version, and flatten it into an app-v 5 package - not a problem.
When we try to add the package to our client machine (running the app-v 5 SP2 client software), it fails with an message that a script has failed and not returned a 0 code. We have not added any scripting to this automatically created package, so it
seems that the app-v client does not like the "official" package. Any hints and tips gratefully accepted, thanks

I'd like to reply to this that I also have (or had) the same issue. The "AppV Error Code: 100000000C."
For me it was a script that I tried to call from a network drive:

<AddPackage>
<Path>powershell.exe</Path>
<Arguments>K:\someFolder\copy.ps1</Arguments>
<Wait RollbackOnError="true" Timeout="30"/>
</AddPackage>
</MachineScripts>
I tried using the sharename, I tried using vbs instead of ps, I tried to rename the files it was copying (it was a dll) I tried a different destination (it was Windows\sysWoW64)
In the end it seems to be the AppV client does not have access to the drive/share, even though 'everyone' had read rights.
When I changed the location of my script and file to C:\users\administrator\Desktop\copy.ps1 the appv added just fine.
I'm looking at what to do, probably give all domain computers access to the share\folder because AppV client seems to use the system account for it's actions (also apparant if you call the var %username% from within the appv!), and because my destination is
sysWoW64 users are not allowed to write there (so the userConfig.xml is not an option)
So in short: for me it was a NTFS rights issue, the AppV client is not allowed to go and load the .ps1 that is defined in the deploymentConfig.xml
Check your
ProPlusVolume_en-us_zh-cn_x86_DeploymentConfig.xml, it probably calls something that the system account has no access to

3GS froze, then said Activation required, now fails to restore with unknown error (1)

My 3GS froze while using Navigon, then showing a pop-up saying "Activation required". When tapping the pop-up, an unusual white question box regarding location service shows up, after tapping "next" the process hangs. Connected to iTunes later, same procedure again, hangs again. When trying restore with iTunes, the whole load process looks ok, but at the end fails with "unknown error (1)", probably when trying to rstart the phone. I tried all variations (restore mode, DFU mode, hard reset) but no luck. The phone was recently officially unlocked (AT&T), could this be a factor? Or is this a harware problem? Any ideas aor hints welcome.
Thanks,
Manfred

Thanks for the pointer to the KB article. Error 1 is missing from the list provided by iTunes (more information), but I was afraid it means hardware. Will try on another computer, but I'm afraid the phone is sick.
Thanks,

Update fails, uninstalls Adobe with an Error 1303

I had a employee report that he couldn't open PDF files.
I go to his machine, and thought thats strange Adobe Reader X isn't installed. I re-installed and didn't think much about it.
About 10 minutes later he called again and it was missing again.
I delved into the issue and found that when the Updater is running, and executing because I have it set to automatically install updates, that it fails with an error:
error 1303 the installer has insufficient priviledges to access this directory: c:\program files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\ARM\1.0. The installation cannot continue. Log on as an administrator or contact your system administrator.
I've tried taking ownership of the Adobe folder under c:\programdata\, and the one located in c:\program files(x86)\Common Files and inherited the correct permissions.
I've restarted the machine and the update always uninstalls Adobe, and then fails to install the update.
I was thinking it was Kaspersky that was interfering but as best I can tell I disabled the policy and each component from Kaspersky and it still fails to apply the update.
Any ideas?
Also the user is an Administrator Account, I double checked.

Just chiming in to say that I'm seeing the same Adobe Reader update issue with a 64-bit Windows 7 machine (a ThinkPad T410s - also with the Nvidia+Intel switchable graphics setup). I had tried uninstalling and re-installing, and the install then failed complaining about insufficient rights to the Adobe directory under c:\ProgramData...
The KB947821 Windows patch mentioned earlier in this thread is the "System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB947821) [May 2011]". Here's the description:
This tool is being offered because an inconsistency was found in the Windows servicing store which may prevent the successful installation of future updates, service packs, and software.
Installing it as I type... OK... The Microsoft update complete successfully, but the Adobe Reader install failed again with the same error about c:\ProgramData\Adobe. I then re-applied the inheritable permissions from c:\programdata to the Adobe subdirectory and below...
The Adobe Reader then Installed successfully, and I'm fairly optimisitic that future updates will go smoothly as well.
Speaking of which, Adobe updates are too frequent and too visible. I get annoyed with how often Flash or Reader is getting some update or other... Ironically, I'm eager for another Reader Update now, to test this :-).

Problem with call error / call restart

If during a call with the Bluetooth car speakerphone on and - due to loss of signal, or anything else - I get a call error, in the lock screen there is a message of error with black color font and (!) icon, and until there is nothing strange, right? But next, if I try to unlock the iPhone the lost call restart automatically even if I would not to do it..
Is there anyone with such a problem? Any solutions?

I encounter a similar problem with 9.1.1.

Labview 8.5.1's MathScript window failed running imread with an error "A problem occurred in a subVI call."

Hi,
I am trying to port a Matlab program into a MathScript script. Following is the first few lines of the script:
clear;
image1=imread('C:\LV_VertAlign\DSC_0104.jpg','jpg');
image_double1=im2double(image1);
image_gray11=rgb2gray(image_double1);
In the first line, imread is supposed to read in a photo taken from a DSLR camera, so I think it's a 32-bit image. And this is the error I got when trying to run this script in the Labview 8.5.1's Mathscript windows:
"Error in function imread at line 2. A problem occurred in a subVI call."
What is the problem here? and why does it complain about a subVI call?
Thanks for any help to point me in the right direction.
-Anh

Hello Anh,
As you may know, LabVIEW MathScript is implemented on top of LabVIEW. The error message you received indicates that a problem occurred in one of the LabVIEW subVIs that MathScript calls. As Jim indicated, the problem is in the file type specifier you passed to the function. MathScript requires the use of 'JPEG' and not 'jpg' or even 'jpeg.' In this case, we could return a better error message. I have filed a bug report (115804) for this issue.
You will find that once you fix this, the im2double and rgb2gray functions are not supported. In LabVIEW MathScript, you generally can execute scripts written in the MATLAB® language syntax. However, the MathScript engine executes the scripts, and the MathScript engine does not support some functions that the MATLAB software supports.
We will look into adding these functions in a future release of LabVIEW MathScript. If you need this functionality now, these functions are very simple to write yourself. If you are performing additional image analysis in your script, you may wish to purchase the IMAQ toolkit. It doesn't add any functions to MathScript at this time, but you could continue your analysis outside of MathScript with LabVIEW VIs.

Upgrade of iPhone 5 failed 95% in with "AMRestoreErrorDomain error 6 - failed to fixup var"

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 using itunes.
I got about 95% through and then a pop up on my MBpro said something about "Failed with error: 6"
The error log quotes "AMRestoreErrorDomain error 6 - failed to fixup var"
Any ideas? Its been stuck on 95% for over 30 minutes now.
Thanks

Ok, so I unplugged the phone. Presses and held the home button until it started up.
The screen requested I plugged it into the laptop again, which I did and it requested a restore... it has now started the upgrade again... fingers crossed.

Hi
Below is some of the resolution
1. First go to OTM ->Tools->Systems ->Edit and verify by adding the password of the agent on the remote server and test.. (This is the password which was used on installing OATS on the remote server) Click ok
Verify if the above step fixes the issue
2. Go to the agent system Start->all programes->OATS->Tools->Oracle application load testing agent authentication->Click edit and enter the password and confirm it for the agent.
Let me know if you still face issues

Palm Desktop software - Fails to open with msg "Error: Failed to open Address Book database"

In July 2009 I dropped my trusty Visor on a tile floor and it stopped working. So, in the meantime I have been using only the Palm Desktop software.
Just yesterday, when I attempted to launch the Palm Desktop software, it failed with the message “Error: Failed to open Address Book database”. I think this error was caused by a very ungraceful shut-down of my Win XP system yesterday.
I really do need to use the Palm Desktop software for my address list, calendar, and memo. The problem is that the error with the Address Book database seems to be preventing the Palm Desktop software from initializing.
I am using Palm Desktop 4.0.1 on Windows XP SP3. I do NOT have an export file of the Palm address book or other databases. However, I do have five levels of backup history on my external Maxgor backup drive.
Specifically, on my current c drive I have files in the directory:
C:\Program Files\Handspring\WR\address
            address.bak                  5/16/2009   (from last sync before I broke Visor)
            address.dat                   5/24/2011
            Personal.ABA   11/6/2008
            Unfiled.ABA    3/28/2008
On my most recent backup of my system, there are the following files:
                        address.bak                 5/16/2009   (from last sync before I broke Visor)
                        address.dat                  5/12/2011
                        Personal.ABA   11/6/2008
                        Unfiled.ABA      3/28/2008
I have not listed the four older backup versions.
I haven’t tried any corrective measures yet (I don’t want to make matters worse) and am hoping that someone can guide me along the right path.
Is it possible for me to just rename the “current” address.dat file to something like address.SAV and then copy the Address.dat file file with date of 5/12/2011 into the current directory. Will the software then just use the older version of the data, or must I do something else.
I am grateful for any assistance. Thank you very much.

Post relates to: Visor Deluxe

Thanks for the speedy response. However, I read the article for which you provided the link, and I hve also read many other articles that I found via search, but I don't think these will help me. All of these articles seem to assume that (1) you have a handheld to which you can sync and thereby rebuild the database on the PC, or (2) you have a backup that you created via the Palm Desktop export function. Unfortunately, I have neither and so I don't think any of these solutions will work for me.
I did read with great interest an article that stated that recent versions of Palm Desktop have a built-in function that will repair a corrupted Datebook database. Will this also fix a corrupted Address Book database which is my problem?
So, I downloaded and attempted to install the latest version of Palm Desktop. I was careful to read the instructions that stated NOT to uninstall my current version of Palm Desktop, but to just install the latest version on top of my current Palm Desktop. However, when I attempted to do the installation, the installer software said it could not install on top of my current software and that I should first uninstall my current software.
I have some questions now:
(1) If I uninstall my current version of Palm Desktop, will this destroy my Address Book, Datebook, and Memo databases ( I don't care about the ToDo database)? If so, what can I do to preserve those databases?
(2) Is there really a function built in the recent versions of Palm Desktop that will fix a corrupted database? Is this an "automatic" function that will detect and fix a broken database or is this something I will have to invoke?
Thanks for your help.

Itunes 9 Upgrade. Installs OK, but fails to run with 'Unknown Error(-50)'

Been running Itunes versions 7/8 very happily. Upgraded to 9.0 today. After installing, which reported no problems, Itunes failed to run, reporting a missing reference in CoreFoundation.dll. I tried a re-install, but with no improvement. I the un-installed Itunes, re-imported the Itunes 9 setup file (88Mbytes), re-installed the product, and still it does not run, reporting a -50 Unknown Error.
Not exactly impressive! I'd be grateful for any ideas, including how to revert to version 8. Thanks, ju

Thanks for the pointer to the KB article. Error 1 is missing from the list provided by iTunes (more information), but I was afraid it means hardware. Will try on another computer, but I'm afraid the phone is sick.
Thanks,
Manfred

Palm Desktop software - Fails to open with msg "Error: Failed to open To Do List database"

In July 2009 I dropped my trusty Visor on a tile floor and it stopped working. So, in the meantime I have been using only the Palm Desktop software.
Just a couple days ago, when I attempted to launch the Palm Desktop software, it failed with the message “Error: Failed to open To Do List database”. I think this error may have been caused by a very ungraceful shut-down of my Win XP system the day before.
I really don’t care about the To Do List data since I really don’t use it --- in fact, I haven’t used it in many months. However, I really do need to use the Palm Desktop software for my contacts, calendar, and memo. The problem is that the error with the To Do List database seems to be preventing the Palm Desktop software from initializing.
Just guessing, I saved the todo.dat and todo.bak files by renaming them, and then renamed the todo.bak file to todo.dat. Then I attempted to launch the Palm Desktop application, but it failed with the same error “Error: Failed to open To Do List database”.
I also tried renaming all of the todo files so that none had a name of todo.dat or todo.bak. The result is that the Palm Desktop software still will not start up.
I think I am using Palm Desktop 4.0.1, at least that is what the help text file seems to tell me.
I am grateful for any assistance. Thank you.

Your on the correct path by saving the data by renaming the files. But to resolve this error we need to remove the data all together. Since you no longer need this data if you just delete it then it should not matter. If Palm Desktop is giving this error but will not open I doubt that the data can be recovered in any event.

Load fails to DSO with Caller 01 02 error.
