Open Dataset fails with "Invalid Argument"

From an ABAP program I can't write to a share folder on a windows 2000 box. The share permissions are set to Everyone Full control. I can write to a share on a windows 2003 box, but not windows 2000. Here is my code:
data: filename type string.
data: open_message type string.
filename = '
servername\edi\test.txt'.
open dataset filename for output
                        message open_message
                       in text mode.
                      encoding non-unicode.
write: /1 open_message.
I noticed that the kernel has the following info:
ICU Version                 2.6.1 Unicode Version 4.0
I was thinking there was a problem writing to a win 2000 box with an SAP Unicode Kernel.
Anyone have a clue?
Thank you,

hi
the shared folder must be accessible to the os user of your R3 installation. bcoz when u run the pgm this user will be used at the os level.
for checking this logon to the R3 os and try to access the share path. it should be accessible without providing any logon credentials.

Report fails with " Invalid argument for database." error.

Hi All,
Several of my reports deployed on Crystal Reports Server 2008 server fails everyday with the following error.
Error in File ~tmp121c5dc747685036.rpt: Invalid argument for database.
The error is not consistent, if report A fails today, it is Report B the next day. When I reschedule the reports, they run just fine. They fail only when the daily schedules run at 2:00 AM in the morning. 100 + reports are run at this time and some of the reports that fail run many times with different parameters. Is this error due to scheduling reports many times or is it something else? Appreciate any help with this.
Thanks
Bin

Hi,
can you please check under <BOBJ installation directory>\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\logging in the log files created by the crystal reports job server for additionaly error messages?
Regards,

PS: Do you run CRS 2008 V0 or V1?

Racoon ERROR: failed select (Invalid argument)

I checked the console logs today (some unrelated problem) and discovered these being spammed every 5 seconds or so:
racoon[38] [38] ERROR: failed select (Invalid argument)
A quick review of the man page and the configuration files did not reveal anything extraordinary, except for the fact that /etc/cert does not exist. However, adding this directory did not fix it. The 'select' in the error message could point towards some socket related problem, but I don't know for sure.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

I started getting them some time around midnight - didn't notice anything odd, but I was just poking around and opened up the Console log (which I try to do about once a week).
I killed everything I was running and it was still coming in.
I do run Time Capsule, but haven't noted any issues with it.
Here was my actual message:
racoon[87]: [87] ERROR: failed select (Invalid argument)
Google suggested a VPN issue someone had, but it was an old report.
I'm going to just reboot and keep an eye out for it.
Kill -15 (Kill process) was sufficient to get rid of the process.

Backup Fails with Invalid RECID Error: Solution 2
This solution is more difficult than solution 1:
To create the control file with SQL*Plus:
   1. Connect to the target database with SQL*Plus. For example, enter:
      % sqlplus 'SYS/oracle@trgt AS SYSDBA'
   2. Mount the database if it is not already mounted:
      SQL> ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
   3. Back up the control file to a trace file:
      SQL> ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE;
   4. Edit the trace file as necessary. The relevant section of the trace file looks something like the following:
      # The following commands will create a new control file and use it
      # to open the database.
      # Data used by the recovery manager will be lost. Additional logs may

Discoverer Desktop Connections Fails With Invalid Username/Pass in r12

Hi all;
I have problem. I can login Discoverer Administrator from my localmachine and i can see what ppl did it there.. But when i try to login Discoverer Desktop from my localmachine its gives me Invalid Username/Pass. error.
I even cant login my system from browser :
http://xx.com:7778/discoverer/plus << pages comes and i fill in the blanks area like:
Connect to : Oracle Application

I found some document from forums. Whihc is :

Discoverer 10g (10.1.2) Connectons To Oracle E-Business Suite 12 Fails With 'Invalid Username/Password' Doc ID: Note:443661.1
But before i apply those patch i want to take advice from you. Coz i can login Discoverer Administrator and can use it but cant login Discoverer Desktop...its kind of wierd... i already checked what i have done in installtion and its all seems correct.
Any idea;
Regards
Helios

Discoverer supports two kinds of connections - database schema connections and apps connections. For Disco Admin, you login using a database schema, which, as you stated, works. For Disco User you login using an Apps user account (for which there is a no equivalent database scherma). To enable such a connection, you need to check the "oracle applications user" check box on the 10g Disco login screen. Also, under Tools --> Options, in the Connection tab, make sure that "connect to both standard and applications EULs" radio button is selected.

Cube failed with invalid character stics

Hi,
My cube failed with invalid charactersticts....data flow is source sytem to ODS and then cube.
loading in to ODS and activation is also successful . I would like to know the reason why ODS loading & activation is not failed with above said message and why cube is failed...
Thanks in advance.....CK

Hi,
BW accepts just capital letters and certain characters. The permitted characters list can be seen via transaction RSKC.
There are several ways to solve this problem:
1)     Removing erroneous character from R/3 (for example required vendor number that need to be changed can be found from PSA from line shown in error message)
2)     Changing or removing character in update rules (need to done by ABAP)
3)     Putting character to BW permitted characters, if character is really needed in BW
4)     If the bad character only happens once then it can be directly change/removed by editing the PSA
5)     Put ALL_CAPITAL in permitted characters. Needs to be tested first!
Editing and updating from PSA, first ensure that the load has been loaded in PSA, then delete the request from the data target, edit PSA by double clicking the field you wish to change and save. Do not mark the line and press change this will result in incorrect data. After you have corrected the PSA, right click on the not yet loaded PSA and choose u201Cstart immediately.u201D
Hope it will help you.

Look like bug 4477774. A possible workaround, somewhat unsafe, is to set UTL_FILE_PATH to '*', which will require a server restart. You then specifiy the path with unix style '/' rather than dos style '\'. You may also be able to use a path with unix style '/' rather than '*', although the bug description does not make this clear.

MBAM 2.5 Reports Fail with "Invalid object name 'v_GS_MBAM_POLICY'."

Utilizing the SSRS Reports for MBAM 2.5 Integrated into Configuration Manager 2012 R2 Cu3, when I run the reports it states that the view
'v_GS_MBAM_POLICY' does not exist.
The complexing thing though is that there are computers that are reporting the HINV Class called 'Win32Reg_MBAMPolicy' So I would think this view would have been created.
Does anyone know the process by which the view gets generated since my HINV is reporting back the information, yet the view has not been created in the DB yet... It makes no sense.
The error is:

We ran into this error as well. Turns out that MBAM-provided reports to SCCM 2012 fail with an error unless the Win32Reg_MBAMPolicy class is added to SCCM, which also updates the SCCM SQL with required Views, including "v_GS_MBAM_POLICY".
The solution that we finally came up with was to import an updated MOF file to include the BitLocker Policy (Win32Reg_MBAMPolicy) class into the "Hardware Inventory" section of the Default Client Policy. Once the import is complete SQL also gets
the appropriate view created.
The instructions on how to create and import the MOF file can be found in the link below.

Open dataset fails...says "error opening input file"

Hi,
I am trying to open a file in my BDC program and get the following error "error opening input file". Its a text file with continuous data. No delimiters and hence character count will be used to parse the data.
I am using the following statement to open it..
OPEN DATASET p_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
but sy-subrc is set to 8 !!
what could be the problem ??
thanks

This is pretty confusing !!I would explain to you my exact issue !!
I have a program in which there is no GUI_UPLOAD call but just a direct open dataset statement !!
This program runs fine for my collegue who has the file in a server (not the application server). She gives the full path name as
servername\foldername\filename.
I tried doing the same but as I did not have access to that server, it failed. So I received that file from her and stored it in my local system. So on program execution, i gave the path as c:\filename and I got the error message "Error opening the file"
Find below some code extracts..
PARAMETERS : p_sname TYPE d0100_mapn ,
             p_file(136) TYPE c ,
FORM open_file .
*open file in textmode
OPEN DATASET p_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    DO.
    Read the file data and tranfer to workarea to internal table
      READ DATASET p_file INTO x_legacy_rec.
Please help in debugging this issue !!
thanks

Upgrade WebDB 2.2 to Portal Fails with Invalid Sys password

I am upgrading from WebDB 2.2.0.0.5 all the way to the latest 3.0.9xx. My database is 8172. I am at the point where you run the 306 upgrade script. It makes it through renaming all the webdb objects to UPG_<OLD_NAME> but then fails with an invalid sys password error when starting winstall. The sys password is not invalid and the script even tests that it is valid before even starting. So, I am not sure what the problem is. I have tried this about a dozen times different ways and still the same error:

We spend almost 6 months (on and off) to get a successful migration from webdb. After countless discussions with Oracle, because we though we where doing something wrong, Oracle advised us that forms do not migrate "well" and any migrated forms do not display as portals. We are not upgrading 300 components by hand. I do not know if this affects you like it did us but I thought you would like to know.

Open command fails with error -10810

Switching from 10.4 to 10.5.3 I can no longer launch applications from the command line using the open command. For example:
some bloke's macbook$ open TextEdit.app
LSOpenFromURLSpec() failed with error -10810.
Seems to be some kind of permissions issue since it does work if I sudo open. Anyone know how to fix this?

It's interesting, yogh's post above might be the reason it's failing for you.
Based on that post, I removed execute permissions from the TextEdit binary in /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS, then tried to use open to run the application. Here's what I get:
% open -a TextEdit
LSOpenFromURLSpec() failed with error -10810.
Now, it may be that the above error is generic and could be generated by several things, but as yogh suggested it may be something to check...

OracleXMLQuery fails with invalid UTF-8 character

All -
While using OracleXMLQuery API to pull the data back as a DOM. The internal parser has a fatal error with invalid UTF-8 data stored in the XML data.
Is it possible to use the setXSLT() method to transform the data before the DOM is attempted to be built. Or some other method within the OracleXMLQuery API to alter the invalid XML data before an attempt is made to parse it?
Note: The database will have non-UTF-8 data; Presently beyond our control.

Hi,
Are the files from the Java-CD fully readable and fully copied, for instance the java-dumpfile ?
Ensure JVM settings of note # 716604 area applied. Also, is connect possible to database by 'configtool' or does it throw an error ?

IAppHostElement::GetElementByName allways fails with invalid index

Hello!
In a c++ application I want to configure the IIS by using the Interfaces declared in ahadmin.h.
When I call the function GetElementByName of the Interface IAppHostElemnt it allways Fails with ERROR_INVALID_INDEX (0x80070585). Here a short example without error handling:
BSTR bstrSites = SysAllocString( L"system.applicationHost/sites" );
BSTR bstrConfigCommitPath = SysAllocString( L"MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST" );
BSTR bstrDefSite = SysAllocString (L"Default Web Site");
IAppHostWritableAdminManager *pMgr = NULL;
HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance( __uuidof(AppHostWritableAdminManager), NULL,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, __uuidof(IAppHostWritableAdminManager), (void**) &pMgr);
IAppHostElement *pElem;
hr = pMgr->GetAdminSection(bstrSites, bstrConfigCommitPath, &pElem);
IAppHostElement *pDefSite;
hr = pElem->GetElementByName (bstrDefSite, &pDefSite);
-> hr == 0x80070858 !!!
When I get the collection with pElem->get_Collection (), I can query it for "Default Web Site". And it is the same with apps under a web site.
What's the problem with GetElementByName ()?
Thanks Frank

GetElementByName probably searches within the collection of child elements, which can be obtained by
get_ChildElements, not by
get_Collection.

Well, whatever the type happens to be, how to I move this segment?Doesn't the segment move when the corresponding table is moved to new tablespace?
At least that is what I see.

Table dropped.If you want to be able to move the segment to a different tablespace than the table, I guess that is not possible. Oracle only allows LOBs to be stored in separate tablespace than the corresponding table provided they are defined as LOBs explcitly during table creation, unlike the LOB created by oracle internally as a result of column datatype being ANYDATA as in this case.
