How do you carry out an event if a job finishes with a return code 4?

Hi
A job which would complete successfully in SAP via the SM36 scheduler completes with an 'Error' in Redwood CPS because there are errors within the spool and it ends with a return code 4.
We don't want this to error in Redwood CPS, so we have set the return code mapping to Completed with entries of 0 and 4.
I.e. whether or not there is an error in the spool, the job will complete successfully in Redwood CPS.
However, we want to be alerted if there are errors in the spool.
How do we do this? The manual says "A job can raise one or more events when the job gets a specific job status or return code" - where is this set? I can see on the 'Event' tab of a job definition you can raise an Event when the job enters a specific status, but I only want to raise an event (or carry out a step / send an email etc) if I get a return code 4 (none of the job statuses are relevant) - how can I do this?
Thanks
Ross

Hi Anton
Thanks for that. However, it's a bit more complicated...
I have a job chain with 2 steps. Any one of the two steps can have an error in the spool which by default in Redwood CPS result in the job ending in status Error. I don't want this, as the second step should still run if the first step ran okay with with errors in the spool (but shouldn't run at all if the 1st step fails completely). I.e. setting 'on Error goto step 2' or having no dependancy at all is not what we want.
Therefore, I set the return code mapping on Completed to return codes 0 and 4. I.e. if step 1 has an error in the spool (return code 4) it still ends as 'Completed' and step 2 runs.
Our problem is that we want to be alerted if there is a return code 4 (error in the spool). I tried as you suggested by entering on the 'Raise Event' tab of the job chain to raise an event on status 'Error' with a return code of 4. But no event was raised. I think this is because the return code mapping is setting the status to 'Completed' (on return code 0 or 4) BEFORE the software checks the status; i.e. the status is actually 'Completed' (rc=4) and not 'Error' (rc=4) so an event is not raised.
Ideally I want to set the Event to be raised on status 'Completed' with a return code 4 - but when I select 'Completed' the 'Error Code' box is greyed out.
I.e. can't set this - I can only set on a generic 'Completed' and I don't want to raise a message if the status is Completed but the return code is 0....
Any ideas??

Hi All,
I have just finished the Installation of SAP IDES 4.7. Installation was sucessful, after that I Installed GUI 640. But when we are starting the Console it is starting without any error which also shows WP table details in run mode. When we logon to gui, console becomes "Yellow" and dispatch process stop with a return code -17.
Please help.
Thanks

Hi Kaushal,
Thanks for ur reply. Actually when we started the installation process, and GUI, we have not provide the loopback adapter in the Primary DNS, but Loopback Adapter was properly configured with IP.
Later on we realised and added the 127.0.0.1 in the Primary DNS. But its still not working.

Maybe you can help me (new on RMAN backup) in doing this.
I have configured a single Oracle 10g database to have backup with RMAN with following steps:
1. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/rman_scripts
2. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/logs
3. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/tracking
4. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/c_backup
5. $ sqlplus sys/<password> as sysdba

9. SQL> shutdown immediate
10. SQL> startup nomount
11. SQL> alter database archivelog;

19. RMAN> exit
I need to configure incremental backup with RMAN on a two node Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 installation.
We also use ASM to store database files, and have Oracle software installed on separate file systems (two Oracle roots for Node1 and Node2).
I have following questions:
1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
Below is the script used to run RMAN on the normal Oracle database (without RAC) which I need to change :
=============================================================================================
2.0 Oracle backup script: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh
Use this for daily backups, possiblly as a cron job.
Once a week run this: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh FULL
All other days of the week: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh INCREMENTAL
Note: You may have to change ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE below to match your database.
=============================================================================================
#!/usr/bin/ksh

Hi [email protected],
Q1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
A1) With RAC: on the shared storage
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
If you want your backups to be available for both nodes you have to use shared storage or tape using an mml library.
So if you want to use the FRA for rman backups and the database is on ASM just make ASM the standard for the FRA as well.
Q2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
A2) Than you cannot recover in case Node1 is down. Best would be to send your storage admin to a training course so he can manage the clustered raw devices needed for ASM.
Q3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
A3) No see A2.

BPC5.1 - Data manager package to Stored proc with custom return codes

Hi all,
Does anyone have experience passing the return codes from a stored procedure back into the eData "view status" package progress or event log details?
When my stored procedure throws errors, the offending SQL code shows up in the pacakge details, which is helpful. But what I'd really like is to structure my stored proc with return codes
0 = everything's wonderful
1 = invalid category / time combination
2 = unauthorized
3 = no data to process
And then handle these codes as either "completed" "warning" or "error" in the package progress.
And ideally, I'd like to put some meaningful message about the warnings & errors, directly into the log details, so the user can fix the problem themselves rather than ask the IT guy to trouble-shoot.
Any tips? I've started playing with using the on-complete, on-success, on-failure routing of different tasks within the DTSX package (SQL 2005), but I'm just working on a trial-and-error basis right now. (With # of errors = # of trials.)
Thanks,
Tim

In case anyone's interested, I've solved this by tracking my return codes as a package variable.
Within the package, I have conditional logic moving from task to task, evaluating the return code to check for various conditions, and selecting which tasks to perform accordingly.
In the last task, I run a final stored procedure which posts some data (completion time & status) to a custom transaction log table, and then if the return code is not zero, I script and execute some SQL which I know will throw a "fake" error. The SQL statement itself includes the key information I want the end user to see. For example
Select InvalidEntitySelection [USEast1],TransactionID [12340] from ThisTableDoesntExist
Select UnauthorizedUser [Tim], TransactionID [12345] from ThisTableDoesntExist
Select WorkStatusIsLocked [USEast1 Actual 2008], TransactionID [12345] from ThisTableDoesntExist
It's not exactly elegant, but it gets the message across, which is all that I need. In this way, the end user sees that the package failed with an error, and when they look at the package details, they can see the problem. They can pass on the transaction ID to an administrator to look into the details, if they can't figure it out on their own.
Sorin, I never managed to figure out how to use a VB task to send the information back to the user, plus force the package to end in an error. I'm sure there's a way to do so, but this seems to work for my requirement.
I'm not entirely happy with the "fake error" approach, but I don't know if BPC has any support for "intentional" programming of errors in the DTS scripting toolset.
Thanks,
Tim

Error with sapstartsrv return code -1

Hello, i'm trying to install the preview and on step 2 it fails registering sapstartsrv, the error message is the following:
Execution of the command "C:\usr\sap\J2E\SCS01\exe\sapstartsrv.exe -r -q -p C:\usr\sap\J2E\SYS\profile\START_SCS01_WRODRIGUEZ -s J2E -n 01 -U WRODRIGUEZ\SAPServiceJ2E -P ******** -e WRODRIGUEZ\j2eadm" finished with return code -1. Output: Cannot register COM interface.
if i check window's event viewer, i see:
Cannot open Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SAP\J2E\Environment (Error 2 ENOENT*: No such file or directory OR: The system cannot find the file specified. ) [ntservmgr.cpp 264]
So i create those in the registry manually and still not working.
The WEIRDEST thing is that everytime i restart my computer i can see sapstartsrv service running...
PLEASE, can someone help??
thanks in advance.

sorry, something i forgot to say, when i go to control panel->event viewer, i can see the following error:
Cannot open Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHIE\Software\SAP\J2E\Environment
I check the registry and i can see that the key doesn't exist, i create it manually and nothing happens, it keeps giving the same error. The thing is that i think installation program cannot create the key. I followed instructions from the post:
WAS 6.40 installation "sapstartsrv.exe' returned with '-1'."
And it didn't work for me.
Please, does anyone have any insight on this? i'd really like to install the preview...
thanks in advance

Hi Rahul,

Seems like the data file has been corrupted and cannot be extracted. At ths stege, there's nothing to do. Even, you will able to extract the file, its structure might be damaged and not safe to use.

Traport importing problem with repeating return code error 8

Hi all,
We are facing some transport import problem.When we sent transport initially AAA900244,they faced with return code error 8 and syntax error 109.As the information provided by the client,one of the include program which is not availble at client system that was included in this transport.So that was the problem.Again we have taken new tranport AAA900247 without this include program then same type of error message they faced with return code error 8 and syntax error 109 in the include program when imported.
I have one doubt, when importing new transport this should overwrite the earlier transport data.Why the same type error client is getting.What might be the reason.
Is earlier transport imported?? Why it throwing same type error.What actually the fuctionality of Return code 8 whether it is imported or discarded.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.....Balu

Hi Ramesh,
That include is not at all required at client system.So next time when we have taken transport we have not included this include program.They imported new transport without this include program.But they are facing same error as they faced first time. What could be reason??

The problem with the return code of JOptionPane

I debug the follow code, when I press button No, return code is 0, but OpenXLSFile(ResultXSLName); executed, why?
the result is whether I press YES or NO, the if condition will be true
how to compare the return code?
          int open = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, "Do you want Open the result File \"" + ResultXSLName + "\" ?", "Confirm", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
          if (JOptionPane.YES_OPTION == open);
               OpenXLSFile(ResultXSLName);
          }Edited by: Kevin.Tong on Feb 26, 2008 7:26 PM

the result is whether I press YES or NO, the if condition will be truethis line will execute
OpenXLSFile(ResultXSLName);regardless of the condition being true or false,
because the if statement terminates at the semi-colon
if (JOptionPane.YES_OPTION == open);<------------------

Solaris x86 with card on-board

Hi all,
I got a problem when installing Solaris9 x86 on ibm NetVista Machine.
I have installed 2 other machines with separated network card sucessfully. I can configure to connecto to my LAN network.
But when install on 2 ibm NetVista machines (which include onboard network card ), It is fail to be configured to connect to the network in both following cases:
Case 1: I choose proper driver as Sun suggest for Intel VE Pro(R) 10/100 : iprb. And the Solaris detect successfully. I checked by "ifconfig -a" and saw the network card active on "iprb0".
Next, I following correct instructions to configure the network card to connect to the LAN. But when i ping IP (9.187.186.18) to other computer in our same subnet LAN,
The system display eg: "No anwer from 9.187.186.18"
I run the "snoop" command to view broadcasr ARP in an other terminal. The snoop terminal displays ARP signal boradcasting from the Solaris. However, it can nerver get ARPs from other computer in LAN.
Case 2: I add 3COM network driver to the solaris ( onboard card is no loger used ). The system can auto-detected this card and i can configure to connect to the network. The problem remain unchange.
Is there any special in IBM Netvista machine need to be configure under Solaris x86 or any particular configuarion for on-board network card. ???
Can any boy help me to solve this problem ??
Best regards,
Thang,
Vietsoftware Developer

However, it can nerver get ARPs from other computer in LAN.Are you perhaps running "snoop" on a box different from the one that you're trying to ping, and are you using
a switched ethernet? In that case it would be OK if you only see the ARP broadcast, because the ping target
box will send the ARP reply directly to the MAC of the requesting station (i.e. there's no ARP broadcast reply),
and an ethernet switch will send the ARP reply directly to the port where the station with the given destination
MAC is connected - no other port should see the reply.
If you're trying to ping 9.187.186.18 from the new Solaris x86 box, try to run snoop on the 9.187.186.18
system. 9.187.186.18 should see the ARP broadcast from the LAN, and the 9.187.186.18 box should list the
ARP response it sends back to the LAN.
Is there any special in IBM Netvista machine need to be configure under Solaris x86 or any particular
configuarion for on-board network card. ???I guess the interrupt handler for the NIC is not working, so the Solaris x86 sees no incomming packets.

I had the same issue, but found out that the SUNWsprox was replaced by SUNWsprot. The OUI 10.1 Release 2 will 'pass' as the doco in the Oracle quick install guide is wrong (as well as 10g Application Server).
The only way to lay a 10g Release database on Solaris 10 is to lay the software doen only, then cd in the .../bin directory, step your Rdbms ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and of course the DISPLAY (is X-windowing into the server), and run dbca manually. Oracle 10g is a bit buggy.

How do I map Hitachi SAN LUNs to Solaris 10 and Oracle 10g ASM?

Hi all,
I am working on an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM installation with Sun E6900 servers attached to a Hitachi SAN for shared storage with Sun Solaris 10 as the server OS. We are using Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) RAC clusterware
for the clustering software and raw devices for shared storage and Veritas VxFs 4.1 filesystem.
My question is this:
How do I map the raw devices and LUNs on the Hitachi SAN to Solaris 10 OS and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
I am aware that with an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM instance, one needs to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter file to set the asm_diskstring setting to recognize the LUNs that are presented to the host.
I know that Sun Solaris 10 uses /dev/rdsk/CwTxDySz naming convention at the OS level for disks. However, how would I map this to Oracle 10g ASM settings?
I cannot find this critical piece of information ANYWHERE!!!!
Thanks for your help!

Yes that is correct however due to use of Solaris 10 MPxIO multipathing software that we are using with the Hitachi SAN it does present an extra layer of complexity and issues with ASM configuration. Which means that ASM may get confused when it attempts to find the new LUNs from the Hitachi SAN at the Solaris OS level. Oracle Metalink note 396015.1 states this issue.
So my question is this: how to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter asm_diskstring to recognize the new Hitachi LUNs presented to the Solaris 10 host?
Lets say that I have the following new LUNs:
/dev/rdsk/c7t1d1s6
/dev/rdsk/c7t1d2s6
/dev/rdsk/c7t1d3s6
/dev/rdsk/c7t1d4s6
Would I set the ASM initialization parameter for asm_diskstring to /dev/rdsk/c7t1d*s6
as correct setting so that the ASM instance recognizes my new Hitachi LUNs? Solaris needs to map these LUNs using pseudo devices in the Solaris OS for ASM to recognize the new disks.
How would I set this up in Solaris 10 with Sun multipathing (MPxIO) and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
I want to get this right to avoid the dreaded ORA-15072 errors when creating a diskgroup with external redundancy for the Oracle 10g RAC ASM installation process.
