Locks problems with STS

Hi,
I am working with BPS into BI 7.0, and its STS. The user goes to the STS web page and takes a node A and changes its status to "In process" and its brother node B is "Send to approval".
The node A is locked; the message said "An exclusive lock was set in subplan AA planning session BB for the transaction data. For this reason, you can only display the data. ... In the case Botton up ( it is my case), set automatically when a subplan was send for approval or was approval, but the node is "in process" and that node has only one planning folder.
Thanks for your help.
Victoria

Hello Victoria,
This is a weakness of STS regarding the locking concept, that it is not able to determine on which node the user is operating.
Once there is one lock set for a specific user, this user is not allowed to open a planning layout out of STS. (beside the auth. object R_STS_SUP)
You can debug this yourself. You can find this in function module UPS_CHECK_LOCKS_IN_HIER.
Greetings
Alex

W530 Num Lock problems with VMWare

All, I am having a major problem with VMWare and the W530 "Num Lock". When I move the cursor into the VMWare window a message comes on say "NUM LOCK: ON" when I move it out of the VMWare window I see message "NUM LOCK: OFF". I do not have any key on the keyboard to disable Num Locl. There are utilities I can run in the SUSE VMWare image to capture the key binding and remap, but I do not have anyway of turning Num Lock on or off to capture
the key binding.
Suggestions ?
Solved!

Hello and welcome,
A couple of things you might try. Don't know if they'll work on your W. They do work on some other Lenovo machines.
Plug in a USB keyboard that has numlock. Use that and see if it sticks after reboot.
Use the on-screen keyboard. Click "options" and enable numeric keypad. That should add a keypad and NUMLOCK key to the on-screen keyboard. Use that. See if it works - and if it sticks.

Locking problem with Postgresql

I'm having some intermittent deadlock problems with Postgresql (7.1 and
7.2) and Kodo 2.2.3 and 2.2.4.
It appears to be a conflict between my JDO and my JDBC code. I reduced
the problem section to the
method found below.
I am running 10 threads concurrently in this test script. Each thread
is calling the "runQuery()" method
below which creates a PersistenceManager, starts a transaction, runs an
unrelated JDBC query, and
then commits the transaction.
The transaction is unrelated to the JDBC query, but it seems to
interfere with it. After a random number
of transactions, it locks up. Now that I've upgraded to 7.2 and 2.2.4,
it doesn't seem to lock with an
"UPDATE waiting" message like it did with 7.1 and 2.2.3, but the script
still hangs. It's strange,
because if I remove the superfluous Transaction "begin" and "commit", it
runs fine.
Any ideas on what might cause this?
Thanks,
-Mike

Hi Patrick,
You're right, that should be in a finally clause. However, my script seems
to hang after about 10 to 30 of the 1000 iterations.

Hi-
Here's a standalone program that shows the problem. If you remove the
"tx.begin()" and "tx.commit()" lines,
it seems to work fine. With them, I get some odd NullPointerExceptions at
the start, then later it hangs.FTR, it looks like the hang is caused by the bit where threadDone() is
only invoked when an exception is not thrown. If you move the
threadDone() invocation to a finally clause, the hang will probably go
away.

Portait Lock Problem with IOS 4.2.1

Since upgrading to 4.2.1, my phone screen orientation isn't working properly. Browser, text, email, notes etc stay in portrait mode when I turn the device horizontally. With it horizontally, I have to double-tap the home key, swipe to the lock key then lock and unlock before the screen re-orientates.
This only fixes the issue temporarily, during the time I am using the app. When I switch to another app, the same issue occurs. Furthermore, it locks the app in landscape mode (which I don't mind!)
This is only really a pain when I want to use text input.
This image was taken whilst my phone was in portrait mode: http://www.haizdesign.com/lock.png

There is no legit way to downgrade.
Have you tried basics from the manual?
Restart.

Auto lock problem with Shuffle 4th gen.

On power up, automatically enters button lock.
I'm then unable to take off the lock (hold play button for >3 seconds)
I have to switch off, then have a second or 2 to use controls before it locks itself again
Tried Reset/Restore etc. Any suggestions please!

Tried Reset/Restore etc. Any suggestions please!
A restore would have eliminated the possibility of software glitch/error so the problem is more than likely hardware related meaning you'll need to have the Shuffle serviced or replaced.

Locking Problem with Forms Builder 6i/Oracle 9i

It appears that when form builder has a form open, all of the objects in the form are locked exclusively. This is causing loads of problems when trying to alter objects. Runtime doesn't seem to have this problem. Is this a known bug or is there a way to keep builder from obtaining exclusive locks.

We have the same problem. It seems that if we use drop and create and not create or replace statments we don't get the locks. This is not a solution but perhaps a workaround.
We tried to upgrade the database to 9.0.1.3.1 but that didn't help.

Screen lock problems with Alarm, etc...

The Alarm notification window goes away too quickly.
I have the screen lock setting ON (so I have to slide the yellow ball up). I also have the screen lock time set to one minute.
When the alarm goes off (IF it goes off, which is another bug) the screen turns on with the slider indicating an alarm is going off, but it quickly goes away.
It doesn't stay active for the minute I have set.
Thus, I have to hit the button, then unlock the screen to snooze the alarm.
Also I noticed that the screen lock, well, works whenever it wants to. Sometimes Im asked to slide the ball, other times I am not. I should be qued to do this every time I tap the power button.
All these little bugs are making me a little leery of my Pre purchase...
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I was on vacation this weekend and set my Pre alarm to go off both mornings. The first morning it went off, but the touch screen, volume buttons, unlock, etc. were all frozen. Nothing had any effect on the Pre whatsoever. Had to completely shut down the Pre.
The next morning, it simply didn't go off at all. Triple-check the settings, and all were correct. Just deecided to not work.

Phase Lock problem with a PXI-1000 chassis

As already discussed here, we had an application running smoothly on a 1042 chassis with a 8186 controller.
We generate two sine waves in phase quadrature, using two 5411 boards.
Unfortunately, we are now obliged to use a PXI-1000 with a 8170 controller, and we don't get anymore the expected results : the signals are generated with the correct frequency and amplitude, but the phase offset is totally unstable, as observed on an oscilloscop.
We are using the Synchronized wave generation NI example. Are we missing something ?
Please consider that we are not specialists in electronics, just plain biologists .
We need help URGENTLY !!!
Chilly Charly (aka CC)
E-List Master - Kudos glutton - Press the yellow button on the left...

One thing that I noticed between the 1000 and the 1042 is that the 1000 has the Fan integrated with the power supply, so the fan is probably run off AC. In the 1042, the fan is run off DC and as stated in the specifications greatly reducing electronic noise. It could be that your phase offset is caused by the AC fan in the 1000.
You might want to try to move everything as far away from the power supply and fan as possible (if it is possible) to see if this helps at all.
Also, the 1042 and 1000 have a 10 MHz reference signal for timing pusposes to each of the modules. The 1042 has an accuracy (skew) of 250 ps between each of the mudules. The 1000 has a skew of 1 ns, obviously much greater of an error (less accurate), which could be causing some issues as well.
I do not know what freq you are operating at, but you may be able to filter some of the 60 Hz frequencies out with a smaller capacitor 0.1uF or so.
Good luck.

HT4623 iPad is locked; problem with iCloud

my iPad is locked up, showing only the message iCloud Backup is unable to access my account. I can't shut it down or go to Settings. What to do?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Please help! Major problems (performance and lock-ups) with brand new W520 with Intel 520 SSD

My company primarily uses HP machines but I've been a long time IBM (now Lenovo) fan so I recently had IT purchase me a new Lenovo W520 (product ID 42763LU).
Once the machine arrived I had them do the following:
Remove the 500GB HDD and replace it with an Intel 520 series 240GB SSD
Remove the optical drive and install the 500GB hard drive that came with the machine in the optical bay (with the bay adapter of course)
Format both drives and put a preconfigured windows 7 64-bit image on the SSD
A general summary of the system is the following:
Intel i7-2860QM CPU
8GB RAM
NVIDIA Quadro 1000M
Intel 520 240GB SSD (primary HDD) [SSDSC2CW240A3]
Hitachi 500GB HDD (optical bay) [HTS727550A9E365]
Intel Advanced-N 6205 network adapter
TouchChip Fingerprint Scanner
The machine was a few days delayed getting to me due to "hard drive driver issues" (that's what I was told). When I received the machine I immediately noticed that it was much slower than I expected (I have a custom built i5 HTPC at home running windows 7 on a Crucial SATA III SSD that I was comparing it to) and I was experiencing frequent hangs (ranging from 30 seconds to multiple minutes), super long boot times, general “slowness” at times, and occasional lock-ups. Since our "baseline" laptop here at work is the "equivalent" HP workstation my IT guys have been less than helpful in helping me to solve this issue. Being reasonably computer savvy I decided to try to try to fix the issue myself. I performed the following “troubleshooting” steps:
1. One of the first issues (errors) I noticed in the event viewer was errors related to the optical drive. Clearly the image they installed on the machine was not from a machine with the same hardware configuration. So, I decided to just wipe the machine and perform a fresh install of windows 7 from the disks (well, USB). After spending multiple days installing windows, performing updates, making sure all the drivers were current, and installing only the critical software I need, I was disappointed to realize that although I fixed the optical drive errors the machine was still slow, was hanging, and locking up regularly.
2. Removed the cover on the machine and removed/reinstalled the drive to verify it was secure.Everything looked good.
3. Verified the latest firmware is installed on all my Intel hardware. Everything seemed up to date.
4. I performed a number of troubleshooting steps like booting the machine with/without the battery, with/without the HDD in the optical bay, installed/removed from the docking station, etc. and none of these things helped (also a note – occasionally when running on the battery I was hearing a strange “buzz” or “static” sound coming from the area around the SSD).
5. Next I did some internet research and learned quite a few things. First, it sounds like others have had similar problems with this machine and/or SSD combo and there were quite a few options suggested to “fix” these issues. The general consensus for troubleshooting steps were:
5.1. Download and install the latest Intel chipset drivers and AHCI controller drivers (overwriting whatever windows installs during updates).This didn’t fix anything.
5.2. Turn off PCI express link state power management in the power manager. This didn’t fix anything.
5.3. Disable superfetch, prefetch, indexing, defragmentation, page file, system restore, and hibernate. A few of these were already disabled by windows so in those cases I just verified they were disabled in the services and application editor. These things may have slightly increased performance but did not fix the major hang/lockup issues I was having.
5.4. I followed online steps to edit the registry to disable the PCI link power management by adding ports, adding the required variables, and setting them all to 0. This did seem to have fixed the hangs and/or lock-ups but the machine is still much slower than I would expect (boot times are still pretty slow and it does “stutter” when I’m doing more than one thing at a time. Also a note here – I have the Intel SSD toolbox installed and I noticed that it was giving me a warning for DIPM not being optimized. I made the mistake of clicking “Tune!” and then started having the hang/lock-up issues again. I went back into the registry and sure enough the PCI link power management variables for ports 0 and 1 were set back to 1. I set them back to 0 and the hangs have gone away. I will not be “tuning” the DIPM through the Intel SSD toolbox again…
6. I also fixed a couple of other minor errors I was seeing in the event viewer by disabling benign services and/or making slight timeout modifications (I researched each issue on the internet to verify they were benign before I implemented any changes). These fixes didn't seem to do anything other than make some of the errors/warnings go away. So, the list of errors/warnings has become much smaller but I’m still getting the following (maybe an issue, maybe not?):
Event ID 37 for every processor saying that they are in a reduced performance state for xx seconds since the last report
Event ID 10002 - WLAN Extensibility Module has stopped
Event ID 4001 - WLAN AutoConfig service has successfully stopped
Event ID 27 – Intel® 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection link is disconnected
I suspect the WLAN errors have something to do with windows fighting with the Lenovo access connection tools?
7. Since the machine still seemed slow I downloaded the program AS SSD and checked the performance of the SSD. When I compared my performance numbers to the benchmark numbers I found onlineI was very surprised to discover that I’m getting about 50% of the performance that I should (values below are read/write).
Seq: 262.11 / 188.32 (s/b 504.58 / 298.28) [MB/s]

Acc.time: 0.218 / 0.294 (s/b .0186 / 0.208) [ms]
Score: 207 / 208 (s/b 314 / 327)
Overall Score: 533 (s/b 797)
One more note - it seems like my cooling fan is running at a high speed almost all of the time. This is probably one of my power settings (I think I have it set for max performance) but it's even doing this when there is no load (i.e. I'm using IE and just vieweing webpages - like right now).
So, I apologize for such a long post but I’ve spent countless hours researching and troubleshooting this problem and haven’t been able to figure out what the heck is wrong here. Am I missing something simple or do you guys think I have a SSD and/or problem with the machine itself? To say that any and all help would be greatly appreciated would be a massive understatement – I’m on the verge of pulling my hair out and I really need this machine working as quickly as possible!
Please let me know if you have any suggestions and/or need additional information. Thanks in advance for your help!
-Erik

Lol gotcha about the drive as an option. I didn't go SSD with mine. Do you have the latest firmware on your drive? It is supposed to be v1.97. Just checking (ah and I see item 3 so guess so). Do you have the SSD drive toolbox software installed?
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Solid+State+Drives+and+Cach...)
Seems some useful tools are in there. I can't say much beyond that with the drive. Oh. Why does your fan always run at high speed? Can you describe that? I mean, are we troubleshooting the right kind of issue? Is there anything else going on with your system? I saw about the reduced core speeds message. what are your system loads like? Anything causing high cpu utilization? Could be something other than the drive causing your low numbers and lockups.

The other one was locked because handling internal tables without header lines is extremely basic .

Problem with file locked by another user

I have a problem with a user on Windows 7 in my network when accessing a single .xlsx file. When Jane Smith opens said file, she gets a message that the file is locked by Jane Smith but she has checked and it was in use by another user, Roger Smith.
This happened over a weeks time and is not a one-off situation. Researching online, I tried one suggestion by going to Roger Smith's computer and into the registry under HKEY CURRENT USER, navigated to "Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\UserInfo",
expecting to see Jane Smiths name and initials. Nope, that wasn't the problem. I went ahead and deleted extra profiles on the computer and ran a repair on Roger Smiths Office 2013.
It was okay for a half a day then towards the end of the day, Jane Smith calls back to say again the same file is locked by Jane Smith yet this time Diana Smith had the file open.
So, the file is locked but why is Excel not reporting the correct user? What can I do to address this?

These all reference Office 2007 and 2010. As far as you know, all of these fixes still apply to Office 2013?
example: they give two updates to download.
Excel 2007 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2598133
Excel 2010 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2598143
No option for 2013.
but this could be useful no matter the version.
In the Shared folder or the File Server;
Open the folder where the Document is located.
Click Tools=>Folder Options
Click the View tab
Scoll down to Advanced Settings>Hidden files and folders
Select Show hidden files and folders and Unselect Hide protected operating system files
Look for a temp lock file and delete it. It should look something like
~$filename.xlsx or whatever file extension the it was saved in.
(In my case, this file had become corrupt and was stuck displaying an earlier modify date from a few days ago..)

TS1702 I had this Scrabble on my iPad2 and began to have connection problems, it would lock in the "connecting" position. This is not the first time Scrabble has had problems with interface. Typically customers delete the Ap then download it again to rein

I have contacted EA about this and can find no help. I had this Scrabble on my iPad2 and began to have connection problems, it would lock in the "connecting" position. This is not the first time Scrabble has had problems with interface. Typically customers delete the Ap then download it again to reinstall it. During the process you sign in and approve the purchase KNOWING that another window will open saying that you have previously purchased it and that there is no charge. So what happened this time? It will not connect and all of my saved and current games are wiped out. I want my money back, this game interface is pretty junk and operates like some ancient DOS program,,bug,bug,buggy. I want my money back.

Problem with getting into iPhoto library after downloading an update for iPhoto. It is saying it is locked on a locked disk. how do we fix this?

Have an OS X 10.9.4 and having problems with iPhoto library after installing iPhoto version 9.5.1 This has locked the iPhoto Library on a locked disk. Any idea on how we unlock this disk?

First, if you've moved the iPhoto library to an external drive, make sure that drive is mounted by opening it in the Finder.
The issue can be caused by sharing the photo library on a network (against Apple's advice) or by opening it in more than one local user account at the same time. You may be able to clear the error by logging out or restarting the computer. If not, do as follows.
Quit iPhoto if it's running, locally or on any file-sharing client. Select the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Usually it's in the Pictures folder, but you may have moved it somewhere else. Right-click or control-click the library icon and select
Show Package Contents
from the popup menu. In the folder that opens, navigate to
Database/apdb/lockfile.pid
and move that file, if it exists, to the Trash. Close the Finder window.
