(No address Record)

Edit: Got it working with a bit of tinkering. The DHCP example was very misleading, I removed all of the excess information and stuck with those 2 lines.
Working like a charm now.
I just installed Arch Linux for the first time,no hitches. Now I'm trying to update Pacman and it appears all the hosts are down.
I'm guessing it's an issue with my wireless, since it's being installed on a VirtualBox.
When I type 'ip addr' the result is:
I've uncommented all of the mirrors on the mirrorlist and I've edited my rc.conf network settings to:
interface="etho"
address=
netmask=
geteway=
Following the example. Still gives me the same error. All of the fixes I've seen when searching this problem are from older versions of arch. They say to make
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
I still tried this and it did not work. What am I doing wrong? ;/
I'm guessing it's something to do with the way Virtualbox handles wireless.

The install procedure for dual .iso provides a long list of mirrors and locke is near the bottom.
I installed recently using the above FTP install with no difficulty.
The mirror you used worked just great for me! It's also convenient because suu isn't very far from me at all.
I'm now not really sure what was wrong earlier. It looks like it's just the mirror I chose, though I restarted the installation since posting and may have done something differently when setting up the network.
Thanks though! I can't wait to see what arch is all about!

  • [SOLVED] Pacman error: failed retrieving file : No address record

    I just installed Arch on a x86 laptop using the cd as the package source. I wanted to do a net install, but when I attempted to (regardless of the mirror) I got many responses from pacman in tty7 of "No address record". This happened despite having a network connection and being able to ping any site from the cli.
    After installing, I am still having the same problem. The laptop is plugged in via ethernet, and I can ping any site I want, but a call to pacman -Syyu just returns numerous errors such as
    error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.rit.edu : No address record
    And just as a test, I was getting replies when pinging mirror.rit.edu.

    Try the following steps:
    1 - Set the VirtualBox Networking option to NAT
    2 -  Start the arch machine in the VirtualBox
    3 -  Edit /etc/rc.conf as a dynamic IP:
    HOSTNAME="arch"
    interface=eth0
    address=
    netmask=
    broadcast=
    gateway=
    4 - Run dhcpcd
    5 -  Try to ping a couple of sites, or your router
    If you still can't ping or anything, I suggest you start a new thread specifically about your problem. Include the output from "ipconfig -a". You're not going to get much help from posting in a thread marked "[SOLVED]".

  • Pacman error:No address record

    Recently when I executed: pacman Syu there were errors like:
    error: failed retrieving file 'current.db.tar.gz' from ftp.linux.kiev.ua : No address record
    error: failed retrieving file 'current.db.tar.gz' from mirror.pacific.net.au : No address record
    error: failed to synchronize current: No address record
    This was also happening with community and extra. Then I did some searching and found out that the repositories were changed, that pacman had a new version and manualy upgraded all, but I still get the same error... Here is my /etc/pacman.conf file

    I`ve experienced the same problem during playing with Arch repositories, mirrors, local caches etc. However I lost posibility to connect with remote repositories, kdemod as well.
    error: failed retrieving file 'kdemod-legacy.db.tar.gz' from kdemod.ath.cx : No address record
    error: failed to synchronize kdemod-legacy: No address record
    Annoying thing
    Wget behave the same.
    Then I found that this thing is related with broken IPv6.
    wget -4
    or with
    --disable-ipv6
    option retrieved its     functionality.                                                                                         
    Does anybody know what internal fault could cause this $hit?

  • No address record error during installation

    Definitely new to linux
    I'm following the beginners' guide.  I've got to the point in which I Select Packages and get the error:
    Packman preparation failed!
    Check /dev/tty7 for errors
    When I check /dev/tty7 I see:
    Using mirror: ftp://mirrors2.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64

    error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from mirrors2.kernel.org : No address record
    error : failed to update core (No address record)
    error : failed synchronizing any databases
    So I've been searching the forum for the last couple of hours.  I've pinged google and the mirror successfully several times so I think my network settings are all gravy.  What I see is that the mirror address has been changed from what I typed in.  I typed: "http://mirrors2.kernel.org/archlinux/core/os/x86_64" and when it runs "core" is changed to "$repo"
    This is the only thing I can find, and I have no idea how to keep this from happening.  Any help would be very much appreciated!

  • Cannot sync pacman; error: failed retrieving file, No address record

    Hello,
    As a heads up, I'm trying not to repost
    I've searched the forums but found nothing, I'll keep looking. I've read the front page news about the mirrorlist and tried using the old mirrorlist file. I've been on #archlinux on IRC. Nothing yet.
    Here is an example of what I see:
    root@dungeon pacman.d # pacman -Sy
    :: Synchronizing package databases...
    error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from ftp.archlinux.org : No address record
    error: failed to update core (No address record)

    error: failed retrieving file 'community.db.tar.gz' from ftp.archlinux.org : No address record
    error: failed to update community (No address record)
    error: failed to synchronize any databases
    I've commented out all but one of the servers in the mirrorlost file to shorten the output.
    Any ideas?

  • How can I make sure I only have single address records across all my devices?

    Hi everyone - I have single address records on iCloud at the moment and on my iPhone BUT I seem to have double records on my iMac.  All I want is one record per person across all devices?  Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    One reason you may have duplicates is that you have each contact listed under your 'iCloud' account AND under your 'on my mac' account. Only contacts in the iCloud account will sync.
    This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.

  • Failed to update core (no address record)

    Hi forum,

    Hmm.
    Do you have a flash drive or anything?
    You could always grab netcfg package, install that and try get the net up with that.
    www.archlinux.org/packages/core/any/netcfg/download/
    and
    https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/ifplugd/download/
    or

    Other then that I have no other ideas, re-install is never the best option really, fight it!

  • Business Partner records with large numbers of addresses -- Move-in issue

    Friends,
    Our recent CCS implementation (ECC6.0ehp3 & CRM2007) included the creation of some Business Partner records with large numbers of addresses.  Most of these are associated with housing authorities, large developers and large apartment complex owners.  Some of the Business Partners have over 1000 address records and one particular BP has over 6000 addresses that were migrated from our Legacy System.  We are experiencing very long run times to try to execute move in's and move out's due to the system reading the volume of addresses attached to the Business Partner.  In many cases, the system simply times out before it can execute the transaction.  SAP's suggestion is that we run a BAPI to cleanse the addresses and also to implement a BADI to prevent the creation of excess addresses. 
    Two questions surrounding the implementation of this code.  Will the BAPI to cleanse the addresses, wipe out all address records except for the standard address?  That presents an issue to ensure that the standard address on the BP record is the correct address that we will have identified as the proper mailing address.  Second question is around the BADI to prevent the creation of excess addresses.  It looks like this BADI is going to prevent the move in address from updating the standard address on the BP record which in the vast majority of cases is exactly what we would want. 
    Does anyone have any experience with this situation of excess BP addresses and how did you handle the manipulation and cleansing of the data and how do you maintain it going forward?
    Our solution is ECC6.0Ehp3 with CRM2007...latest patch level
    Specifically, SAP suggested we apply/review these notes:
    Note 1249787 - Performance problem during move-in with huge addresses
    **applied this ....did not help
    Note 861528 - Performance in move-in for partner w/ large no of addresses
    **older ISU4.7 note
    Directly from our SAP message:
    use the function module
    BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_REMOVE or run BAPI_ISUPARTNER_CHANGE to delete
    unnecessary business partner addresses.
    Use BAdI ISU_MOVEIN_CUSTOMIZE to avoid the creation of unnecessary
    business partner addresses (cf. note 706686) in the future for that
    business partner.
    Note 706686 - Move-in: Avoid unnecessary business partner addresses
    Does anyone have any suggestions and have you used above notes/FMs to resolve something like this?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Nick:
    One thing to understand is that the badi and bapi are just the tools or mechanisms that will enable you to fix this situation.  You or your development team will need to define the rules under which these tools are used.  Lets take them one at a time.
    BAPI - the bapi for business partner address maintenance.  It would seem that you need to create a program which first read the partners and the addresses assigned to them and then compares these addresses to each other to find duplicate addresses.  These duplicates then can be removed provided they are not used elsewhere in the system (i.e. contract account).
    BADI - the badi for business partner address maintenance.  Here you would need to identify the particular scenarios where addresses should not be copied.  I would expect that most move-ins would meet the criteria of adding the address and changing the standard address.  But for some, i.e. landlords or housing complexes, you might not add an address because it already exists for the business partner, and you might not change the standard address because those accounts do not fall under that scenario.  This will take some thinking and design to ensure that the address add/change functions are executed under the right circumstances.

  • Business Address Services (BAS) and Where-Used ADRV/ADRVP

    Can someone point out any good sources of information on Business Address Services or possibly its predecessors either online or hard-print?  I've been through the help.sap.com information for BAS and all sorts of SAPNotes without finding what I'm looking for.
    In particular I'm trying to understand default SAP's usage of the Where-Used links in BAS that are stored in the tables ADRV and ADRVP.
    My Issue: If I create a Sales Document in SAP referencing a partner address stored in BAS there is no Where-Used ADRV record created.  So I cannot use the address number of the ADRC record to find which documents are referencing it via ADRV.
    steps to recreate:
    - Using existing Customer/Partners
    - Create Sales Document (Order) adding partners by selecting partner #'s and not manually overriding any address information.
    - Address of the partner is now linked in the Sales Document via VBPA-ADRDA=D and the ADDRNUMBER references the same ADRC address records that KNA1 points to.
    - There is no Where-Used record created in ADRV indicating that the Sales Document is linked to that address.
    - If I change or delete the ADRC record from KNA1 then I do not have the information available to take any special actions on linked Sales Documents.
    Note: If you manually override the address or use a one-time address when entering the Sales Document then the new address is linked via VBPA-ADRDA=E and a Where-Used record is created in ADRV.  Also any follow-on documents created with reference to the Sales Document will also have Where-Used records created in ADRV.  So in the case of changed or manually entered addresses ADRV does work as I would expect it to.
    I am observing this behavior in both R/3 4.6c and ECC 5.0.  Trying to understand why SAP is using or not using ADRV in these situations and whether the behavior can and should be changed.

  • Can I change Address Book's default setup?

    I want to import my entire address book database from Palm Desktop to Apple Address Book (only about 5,000 entries in total).
    I have several fields in the Palm Desktop database that don't match the Address Book default setup. In Address Book, I went to Card> Add Field> Edit Template but the changes I made there to the Template didn't actually seem to change anything in the actual Address Book display of addresses, even though I made several changes in the Edit Template function - it was as though the changes I made in the template editing function had no effect at all. The changes I made are still there when I revisit the Edit Template function but the additions and alterations don't show in the final address display.
    1. Where did my changes to that Template go in respect to the actual display of the addresses?
    2. Is there some way to apply my edited template to all the entries in Address Book in one fell swoop?
    3. If not, then why have the Edit Template function at all?
    I've done some trial runs using a tab-delimited file exported from Palm Desktop, which Address Book seems to import and work with happily... except for this inability to choose my edited template for the new entries - Address Book forces the new database into Address Book's own Template with none of my chosen changes. It's as though the template edit function is just for show but with no real functionality.
    I hope this is all making sense...
    This is an great time for me to make sweeping changes if necessary (if it is possible or if it helps) since I'm beginning a totally new database in Address Book from scratch.
    Many thanks for any help.

    Paul,
    I'm afraid you will loose some of your data that you can insert in your Palm when you transfer to AddressBook, but you can try to get in as much as possible. Especially the custom fields are much more flexible in Palm.
    But in the end, the full integration of AB in your Mail and Calender, backup to .Mac etc. may offset these drawbacks.
    When you set up a template, did you actually complete one address record?
    If not, you should.
    When you want to import to AB from a tab-delimited file, try this program
    Addressbook Importer, an excellent piece of freeware that will do this for you.
    In the top row before you import, make sure you have an address record that has all your customized fields completed in a way you know which field that is (you can do this in Palm, using the name A. AAA, address etc.)
    Now when you use the importer, you can make sure wich field goes where.
    Backup your Palm data well before you start experimenting. I wouldn't want to be the cause of you dropping 5000 records. Also, disable all syncing when you start. Once it works, make a backup from within the AB application. Then when all looks OK, you can start syncing using iSync instead of Hotsync.

  • How to email a list of names and email addresses?

    I have a group of about 60 people with various amounts of data in each of their Address records.
    I want to send an email to the group with a list of the names and email addresses of everyone on the list. I don't know how to do this neatly. Got any ideas?
    If I put the group name in "to" in Mail, each person gets a messy non-alphabetical list with commas. If I send a group vCard, I send more data than I want to send. If I make a printed list, I have to convert to a pdf file and send that which is not nearly a simple as a text list.
    Is there any way to export fields of my choice from Address into either text or spreadsheet format?
    I want to send a list like this, but with tabbed columns.

    Thanks,

    Thanks, Thomas for the prompt response, but the pdf method has two problems.
    First, it's got to be in landscape mode, or the email address word-wrap. That makes for a five-page list. I want to send a 60-line text list.
    Secondly, there's no way to eliminate the label (work, home, other...) from the email address field.
    I will use the pdf method if no one comes up with a better idea.

  • How to populate address details in IDOC

    HI,
    I am creating customer master using OILDEB06 IDOC.
    However I dont see the fields like SMTP_ADDR, SORT1, Street 5 etc in the idoc segments.
    How do I pass all the address details along with my IDOC.
    Do I need to use some BAPI or am I missing something inMapping.
    Appreciate your help.
    Thanks and regards

    These are additional address fields which are part of 'Central Address Management'. Pasted below is the documentation associated with it. Basically, you need to add these separately.
    <i>
    Additional address fields:
    There are additional address fields available due to linking the customer and vendor master and the respective contact persons to central address management. This additional address information is stored in central address management's own tables rather than being kept in the actual master tables (KNA1 for the customer master, LFA1 for the vendor master, KNVK for the contact persons).
    A separate transfer run via the ALE interface is needed to transfer this additional address information. This run should be before the transfer run for master data.
    See Transfer of address data.
    If you use number ranges with internal number assignment when creating new customer and vendor masters, the number which is used to identify the master object in the system must be determined beforehand due to address information and master data being transferred separately.
    You can determine the numbers using the following BAPIs:
    BAPI_VENDOR_GETINTNUMBER (for the vendor master)
    BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETINTNUMBER (for the customer master)
    BAPI_PARTNEREMPLOYEE_GETINTNUM (for the contact persons)
    Master data fields for which there is a counterpart in central address management (such as name, street, or telephone number) continue to be filled in the actual master tables. The formatting for these fields within central address management is different from the original formatting of the fields without the link to central address management. We therefore recommend that you only transfer the data for such fields when transferring central address management address information.</i>
    Here is the documentation on transferring address data.
    <i>
    Transfer address data
    You can use the DX Workbench (transaction SXDA) to transfer address data.
    Create a transfer project using the following object types:
    BUS4001 for company and organization addresses (for example, customer address, vendor address, other office address of contact person)
    BUS4002 for private addresses (of contact person)
    BUS4003 for office addresses (composite work address of contact person).
    The address data is entered by the SAVEREPLICA-BAPIs of these three object types.
    For more information about these BAPIs and their interfaces, in particular the meaning of the key fields, see "Distributing addresses via ALE" by choosing Basis --> Basis Services/Communication Interface --> Business Address Services in the SAP Library.
    You can create example files for the DX Workbench from existing address records in the system (for example, in a customer master record ) with the programs RSDXBUS4001, RSDXBUS4002 and RSDXBUS4003. These example files show the meaning of all fields in the Business Address Services BAPI interfaces.
    The programs have the same input parameters as the SAVEREPLICA-BAPIs.</i>

  • Vendor not receiving payment due to incomplete address on file sent to bank

    hi friends,
    i have a question, we normally send a file to the bank of the payments we make to the vendors, 1 of the vendors was not paid and the reason being that the vendor address was incomplete on the file sent to the bank for which the bank has rejected the payment. could this be some kind of mapping error? as the address from the vendor master is appear complete on the file sent to the bank.
    does any one know how this mapping takes place... where is this mapping done in SAP
    regards
    charlie

    Transaction OBVCU or FBZP payment methods/Country For thecountry and payment method combination, there is an area with heading 'Required Master record specifications. In that there is check box for Stree, PO box  or POBox code. See if this check box is checked. If it is checked , you cannot process payment program for vendors with incomplete address record.

  • ESS Who is Who default address

    Dear Guru's
    For our customer we are looking for an option to view a default address subtype in the output from Who is Who. I have two questions:
    1. We use our own infoset with infotype 0006 for addresses. Our customer however uses multiple subtypes in infotype 0006. They want to show a certain subtype default in the output results without  selecting this subtype using the advanced search option.
    Is this possbile?
    2.Also using our own infoset. The outputresults in the Iview don't seem to match with the records in te backend. For example:
    infotype 0006 consist two records:
    record 1:
    P0006-BEGDA= 01.01.2011
    P0006 - ENDDA = 31.12.9999
    P0006-ANSSA = 1 Permanent residence
    P0006-STRAS = x
    P0006-HSNMR = x
    P0006-PSTLZ= x
    P0006-ORT01 = x
    record 2:
    P0006-BEGDA= 01.01.2011
    P0006 - ENDDA = 31.12.9999
    P0006-ANSSA = 6 nursing address
    P0006-STRAS = y
    P0006-HSNMR = y
    P0006-PSTLZ= y
    P0006-ORT01 = y
    The output in the Iview using the infoset and filling P0006-ANSSA in the advanced search option with 1 shows for example
    P0006-ANSSA = 1 Permanent address (record 1)
    P0006-STRAS = y (record 2)
    P0006-HSNMR = x (record 1)
    P0006-PSTLZ= x (record 1)
    P0006-ORT01 = y (record 2)
    Is this a problem with FM BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA ?
    Help needed.

    have you made your custom infoset and a query and select those fields which you need to be shown?
    Note that
    We can only restrict with the query which is based on the infoset.
    In the case of who is who, the query is designed based on selection of
    selection fields, output fields & output field list.
    We can create infoset query based on subtype field of IT 6 but we cannot
    restrict it to subtype.
    I suggest that you use BAPI method for creating search for Who's Who .
    You may need to write your own BAPI.

  • ESS Change of Address REQUESTED process

    Hi all,
    I had ESS Change of Address working since 2003. Now, I am having issues. Don't know when something changed, but in last year.
    Any answers to any questions would be appreciated and if I need to clarify, by all means, let me know and I will break it down. I see an OSS Server Message coming anyway...
    When I org designed a Change of Address WF in 2003, a user would (Edit OR Delete) a record, then it would create 2 locked records, and send only 1 REQUESTED event to start my WFs. HR would verify new record, unlock new record would automatically delimit old, and all is golden.
    1.
    Via Portal, user Edits address record, it creates 2 locked records in pa0006, and NOW it sends 2 ADDREMPUS->REQUESTED events. I think there is an oss note to stop 2 REQUESTED events in in srv pk 43.
    SAP Note 1565056 - Function HR_EVENT_CREATE is triggered twice
    Corrects WF from being called twice?
    Also, if our HR service center processes the new locked record, it is not automatically delimiting the old record. Can't navigate to it in PA30 because it is already delimited and it is causing a lot of locked records in system. Can't get to it using nav left / right button because it is delimited. From my notes, HR svr cntr should only see the new locked record, verifies, unlocks, then that action is supposed to delimte the old without HR actually unlocking both. This ring a bell?
    2. I have the same issue with Delete, except it only starts 1 WF, when it locks. Still trying to figure out why 'sometimes' it does not lock or raise REQUESTED or locks and no REQUESTED event. Elusive little bugger!
    3. 1 day rule? If HR unlocks all records and then user makes another change on same day as updated by HR personnel, I get a locked record and no REQUESTED event.
    This is not working right!
    OSS notes? And more importantly, is this indeed how this "supposed" to work?
    We are on ecc6 and hr srv pk 604-41.

    So, this is same solution for both PA30 and the call from Portals?
    Oss Note 0001565056:
    When an infotype record is maintained in the transaction PA30, the function
    HR_EVENT_CREATE ('Create Event for Employees and Applicants using Infotype
    Operations') is called twice.
