Mapping executes without error, but does nothing.

I've created 21 mappings. 20 mappings work flawlessly and one gives me headaches!
The mapping is from type: PLSQL.
It's using an external table to access an 554MB textfile. The OS is RedHat Enterprise Linux WS release 3, Oracle 9.2.0.5, OWB 9.2 + latest patch.
When I validate the mapping -> everything is okay.
When I execute the mapping via OEM -> Success message -> in audit browser: 0 rows inserted.
When I execute the mapping manually -> Success message -> 0 rows inserted.
When I look at the target table -> 0 rows.
When I do "select count(*) from external_table_20", I get the correct count for records!
When I do "create table temp1 as select * from external_table_20 where 1 = 0" I get the correct table structure.
When I do "insert into temp1 select * from external_table_20", sqlplus blocks for about 10 seconds, but then there are 0 records inserted.
There are no errors in the kernels logfiles (no read, write or media errors).
There is no error message in SQLplus.
There is no entire in the alert file of the database.
It just does nothing!
I drop the mapping, the target table and the external table -> and recreated them again (one at a time) -> Same as above. I can count the external_table but the mapping doesn't insert any data. I still can't insert the table on myself.
So, what can I do now? There is enough space on every tablespace left -> just in case I extended all of them to make sure there will be at least twice as much space as 554 MB (the size of the textfile).
Its ervy strange that there is not a single error message or warning!

Art,
The external tables are tricky because if you make one trivial mistake when describing the records (such as a wrong field length or type), the end result will be that the query against the FT will return no errors, but there will be zero or some weard number of records returned. I suggest to check again the record description and to try to select from the external table (after it is deployed) from SQL plus.
Also, when configuring the flat file in OWB you can define the log file that will trace FT creation errors during deployment and a Bad file name that will direct the database to write records not fitting into the FT definition to the location specified in 'Bad file name'.
These configuration parameters can be of help when struggling with the issues mentioned above.

2008 R2 Backups running without error, but doing FULL backups twice a week...

I have two Windows Server 2008 R2 systems which I am backing up with the native WSB utility. Both are VMs under ESXi 5.5 on the same physical Dell R710 host. Each has its own 2 TB USB connected device which was dedicated to and formated by and
for WSB. Both complete their respective backups without error and have been up for months.
On system A, WSB reports there are 243 copies available and examining the drive shows there is 288 GB free of the 1.81 TB total.
On system B, WSB reports there are 11 copies available and examining the drive shows there is 1.33 TB free of the 1.81 TB total.
My question is, why doesn't system B leverage a similar amount of the drive?
Thank you for any ideas!

Newark IT Guy...

I may be way off base as I'm a real estate agent not an IT person and I've just started learning about WSB/wbadmin last week, but here are my thoughts:
1. Mandy's response is all about MaxShadowCopies which has little to do with the OPs issue (I think). MaxShadowCopies is associated with "Client Accessible Shadow Copies" and related "Shadow Copies for Shared Folders." Useful for when
you accidentally delete or mess up a file in some way and you quickly and easily restore a previous version of that file via the file's properties window. Going down the wrong path with this I think except for the small caveat that the absolute 512 shadow
copy maximum applies to WSB shadow copies. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
2. system B may have hit the "Maximum Shadow Copy Storage Space" setting for that volume. From the command line, use command "vssadmin list shadowstorage" and compare the "used shadow copy storage space" to the Maximum.
If it is close, or if an additional backup would cause it to exceed the limit, the system will delete backups from shadow copy until there is room for the new one (again, "I think" this is so). See the vssadmin resize shadowstorage" command
options for adjusting the size.
3. I've read a few examples where the free space shown via a drive's properties was wrong for various reasons so maybe this is your circumstance. So, system B may have had much less available space than you think, and because of limited space, The new
full backup takes priority and WSB is automatically deleting older shadow copy snapshots in order to make room for the new backup. Run chkdsk on that volume and see what the "available" space is.
Also, If it turns out you do have a space issue, Do you know for sure that your backups are succeeding? If the low number of backups is due to limited space, it could also cause the new backups to fail due to not enough space.
Caveat on all of the above: I am quite uncertain about all of this, so hopefully someone will chime in and corroborate or correct my comments.
As a parting thought, I'll have to say that after reading the forum for a few hours trying to learn about WSB/wbadmin it is disappointing to see, in thread after thread, so many canned responses linking the same reference material without any attempt to actually
answer the OPs questions or deepen understanding of the subject. Is this forum managed by paid employees? If so, it feels like many simply locate a document that "might" be related, then they copy and paste a link along with a few statements
directly from said document. No added insights of their own, no furthering or revealing of nuances about the subject at all. Mandy's post above is a prime example. Just an observation from a new visitor to this forum.
PS - I did notice that "Sriram [MSFT]" posted some very very helpful comments on the WSB & VSS subjects, just wish there were more like his.

Cash Management - AutoRecon without errors, but still unreconciled?

Hi guys,
Pretty interesting question:
I have multy period's bank file (transactions for 3 accounting periods), all settings are according the manual on AP and CM sides done.
Statement's Import finished without errors, AutoReconciliation finished without errors, but Statement still have status UNRECONCILED and on AP side transactionsin ap_checks_all table still have STATUS_LOOKUP_CODE as NEGOTIABLE, and CLEARED_AMOUNT, CLEARED_DATE, REQUEST_ID, CLEARED_ERROR_AMOUNT and ACTUAL_VALUE_DATE fields are still empty.
The periods were OPEN at the time of a run.
Only when I go to the Statement in CM and open the lines and reconcile them one by one it works.
Please advise, any help will be appreciated!
Bok

Hi,
Step: 1
Check the System parameters Auto Reconciliation Setups
Step: 2
Check the Bank Statment line has Bank Transaction Code attached
Step: 3
Check the Document number given in Bank Statement line is matching exactly with the Payment/Receipt
Step: 4
Check the Bank Code attached to line is same as the available line you are trying to match i.e. RCT to Receipt, PMT to Payment etc
Step: 5
Assign MO: Security Profile Option to your user id
Run Autoreconciliation Program now. The issue should be resolved.

I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser? It is already installed, I just don't use it. I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it? If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, and now I cannot open the iTunes store. It just sits there and says it's loading for hours, but does nothing.

I downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, and now the iTunes store won't open. It just sits there and says 'accessing iTunes store for hours, but does nothing.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

My HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series wont print, says its printing on the screen, but does nothing.

it has nothing to do with the connection, because even if i try to print a test page from the printer itself (not using my laptop) it still wont print. it says "printing" on the screen, but does nothing. and the green light on the power button blinks the whole time... please please help, its super frustrating, ive un-installed, re-installed, plugged it in, un plugged it, plugged the usb cord in before i realized it wasnt a connection problem, taken the ink out.. i dont know what else to do... again, its not a connection problem.. i tried to go into the settings on the printer itself and clicked printer status or something liek that and it attempted to print out a report, but nothing prints... again, the screen says "printing . . . " but nothing happens and it will continue to say "printing . . . " w/ the moving dots for hours... what could this be?? ive searched online and cant find anything that sounds liek this.. seems like everyone has connection probelms... but i need help!

This sounds like it may be a firmware problem. The first thing to do is check to see if there are any available firmware update. I'll include a link to those instructions below. Next, make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet. Plugging the printer into a surge protector, power strip, or power backup can cause it to become under powered resulting in strange problems like this one. If the firmware is up to date and plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet doesn't help, follow the steps in the document below. If that doesn't help, you will need to replace the printer. Hope this helps.

All you can do is try restoring the device. If you are unable to you'll most likely have to get the iPod repaired.

Aperture runs but does nothing when importing, updating vault, emptying trash

I'm new to Aperture but experienced with similar applications (I've made the move from PC to Mac). I downloaded the latest version 3.2.2 on to my new 27" iMac, 2.7Ghz, Lion, 4Gbyte RAM, terabyte HD etc (standard config). I very much like Aperture, apart from its regular crashes/doing nothing episodes. I have experienced troubles in three areas:
- See screenshot below. Aperture appears to do nothing while taking up all system resources while importing 2k files. The log says nothing has been imported but the entire Mac slows down. Other folders with more files are OK others not. It al appears a bit random. I am importing from folders copied to the local HD, using the option 'folders/project'. My photo library is 16k images (all jpg) stored in regular folders.
- when deleting many files in Aperture trash, the same spinning wheel as importing again with nothing happening.
- when updating the vault, same as above 2, spinning wheel nothing else.
In all three cases Aperture seems still to be running, but I always have to finally force quit. Upon re-boot, all seems to work until the next issue is found!
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hello Gary,
That is not much to go on. Try to narrow down the problem by a few simple tests:
to find out, if your library is corrupted in some way, start aperture with a new, empty library
File -> Switch to library -> other/new
and see, if Aperture is running without problems on a different library.
If that should be the case, try to repair your library.
If Aperture does not run from a different library, try to launch it from a different account. If that succeeds, thrash your Preference,
If all fails, reinstall Aperture.
The trouble shooting measures are described here:

Good luck

Camera tracker solving without errors but not showing result points

hi
I am trying the new camera tracker in AE cs6,
im using very simple shots that can be tracked easily,
and im having some strange behaviours,
basically in many shots the analysis takes places with no errors but after the camera solve no result points appear, even if i use the advanced mode , changing all other parameters etc, and no errors are reported anywhere, also i select the effect on the panel and i also make sure the points size parameters are scaled up,
but if i click on processing points (the unchecked box below 3d solve) i can see they are all there, and i can also create camera and the camera is created, so its as if all the process takes place correctly but for some reason the solve points are not shown on screen
it has happened to me that with same shot sometimes they appeared and sometimes not, but most times they dont
what can be happening in here?
thanks so much

will try to explain better my problem
if i click on
Render Track Points
i can see there are great track points that follow all the movement perfectly,
and yet without checking that box no solve points appear, even when i select the effect on effects panel
or change any other parameter or do the advanced mode
i can still click on create camera etc, but i cannot attach a text etc to a specific solve point because no solve points appear
and yet as i say, if i click on the Render Track Points box i can see great tracking points all over the place following the action
so the fact that selecting Render Track Points on effects panel shows great perfect points following all , does that confirm that camera solve was successful?
i just cannot understand why i cannot see any solve points that i can interact with
i have tried to scale sizes all the way up, select effect on panel and hundred other things
thank you for any help

Yahoo Mail only, I get a yellow bar saying I need an additional plugin, plugin box pops up but does nothing.

This only happens on Yahoo Mail, when I refresh, I get the yellow bar that says FF needs an additional plugin, I click the install missing plugin box, click it, up comes the plugin finder, but it does nothing, finds nothing. Ever. I uninstalled and then reinstalled FF, reset the plugin reg dat file, deleted it both with FF running and without. Nothing stops it and I have no idea what is going on. Plugin page says all my plugins are up to date.

You do have the new Windows Media Player plugin installed (np-mswmp), so that is not the problem.
You do not have the Flash plugin installed according to the system details list.
*http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
*http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
You may also have to disable or uninstall the VLC plugin as that plugin can interfere with other plugins.
