Organizations - out of the box error

Dear All,
I received the following error: "System error was encountered. Contact Oracle Identity Manager system administrator" from Administrative console (when click on Organizations->create or Organizations->manage
This is Out of the box oim 9.1.0.1 installation
application server: Oracle application server 10.1.3.1 patched to 10.1.5.0
Database: 11g R2
Is this a known issue?
I will appreciate any feedback

Kevin,
Thank you for your feedback.
I receive official confirmation from Oracle that version I use is supported.
Application server is :oc4j 10.3.1.5
I noticed the following error in the logs:

  • MySQL broken out of the box - error 2002.

    MySQL is broken out of the box - 10.5.2 server. Brand new Xserve, an untouched OS X Server installation, no tinkering was done *at all*.
    Here's what I did:
    1. Opened Server Admin.
    2. Added MySQL service.
    3. Went to Settings.
    4. Changed "Database location" to be on another, faster drive in the Xserve.
    5. Clicked "Start MySQL" button
    6. Opened Terminal, typed in "mysql" and hit Return.
    What do I get?
    ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
    There's no mysql.sock file there, nor in /temp. Running lsof while the mysql daemon is "started up" shows there is a mysql.sock file in /var/mysql though. Very odd.
    Any ideas? I'd like to avoid rolling my own install of MySQL, and stick with the built-in version.

    Might [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302977|http://docs.info.apple.c om/article.html?artnum=302977] help here? That's for Mac OS X Server Tiger 10.4.4 and not Leopard 10.5 yes, but looks applicable here.
    And FWIW, this basic case is fairly standard MySQL socket behavior on various platforms. That the GUI apparently allowed you to shoot yourself in the foot here is another discussion.

  • JSP Compilation Error when using OC4J out of the box

    Hello.
    After installing Java jdk 1.5.0_05, setting ORACLE_HOME, setting JAVA_HOME, rebooting, and installing OC4J standalone straight out of the box, I have deployed a simple web project that consists of just one JSP. I receive the following error message:
    NOTIFICATION J2EE JSP-0008 Unable to dispatch jsp Page: oracle.jsp.provider.JspCompilationException: Errors compiling: C:\LocalApps\OC4J\j2ee\home\application-deployments\oc4j_jsp\persistence\_pages\\_Test.java<pre></pre>
    I have deployed a number of Flex2 applications without incident. What am I missing here? Another odd thing is that my organization has OAS running and it can render JSPs fine.
    Any help is appreciated thanks,
    Mike
    P.S. I have gone back and set the JSP debug switches, but they do not yeild much more info. Here is the stacktrace:

    I had the very same Problem, and I spent a lot of time on it.
    When installing Oc4j as a service using Javaservice opnesource, I had no problem, even using J.D.K 1.6:
    %JSEXE% -install %JSNAME% %JVMDIR%\jvm.dll -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -Djava.class.path=%OC4J_HOME%\oc4j.jar -start oracle.oc4j.loader.boot.BootStrap -params -config %OC4J_HOME%\config\server.xml -out %OC4J_HOME%\log\OC4J_service_stdout.log -err %OC4J_HOME%\log\OC4J_service_stderr.log -current %JSBINDIR% -auto -description OC4JService
    Then I wanted to install it using "ServiceMill" or "Javaservice Wrapper", becuase it has a better control on the process and I had that awfull compilation error.
    I guess it is because ServiceMills uses java.exe and javaservice the .dll to launch the oc4j, no idea.
    Anyway, thank you very much!!!!!

  • Error in Master Data Out-of-the-box Scenario Customer

    Hi Experts,
    I set up a normal out of the box scenario of master data that is supposed to sincronize just Customers, but when I create a supplier It also creates it in my subsidiary company.
    I read the documentation Config_Guide_SAP_Business_One_Master_Data_Distribution_EN.pdf and it´s clear when it said that this scenario is only for Customers. Even in the appendix the card type it´s supposed to be mapped with the fix value cCustomer.
    I checked the xsl file and the cardtype is also mapped as it comes from the sender so I do not understand exactly what it does.
    I continued with my testing and when trying to update any field in a supplier an error appears.
    So, if it´s only for customers why does it create the suppliers?
    and if suppliers are also sincronized why cannot update any field?
    Thanks in advance,
    David

    Hi experts,
    I found the field that caused the error when updating suppliers. This field is
    <OtherReceivablePayable>
    <xsl:value-of select="BO/BusinessPartners/row/OtherReceivablePayable"/>
    </OtherReceivablePayable>
    If this field is not mapped the scenario works ok for suppliers also.
    I do not understand why in the documentation this scenario is supposed to be just for customers because is for all IC.
    I suppose is an error but if someone could confirm it would be perfect.
    Thanks anyway,
    David

  • Error 2032 out of the box

    I just installed the Adobe Media Server on my Windows 7 local machine
    On the welcome page, I'm getting error #2032 on every video except the "Single Bitrate" one.
    I've tried the crossdomain.xml fix, and that didn't work.
    I looked for previous versions of Apache to check for port conflicts, and didn't find anything.
    It's frustrating that this doesn't work "out of the box"
    I've previously had Red5 installed, but I uninstalled that before installing AMS.

    Hi
    Can you post the set level manifest you created for multi-bitrate streams?
    Also, I hope yoy are on OSMF 1.6+

  • Why during setup of mx922 I get a 6000 and a 6001 error message right out of the box

    I just purchased a MX922 and out of the box I get a 6000 error message why?

    I'm glad I was able to help.  I kind of wish mine hadn't worked because I ended up being one of the "lucky" individuals where my phone didn't restore from the backup and I lost all of my contacts, calendar appts, notes, etc.  It took me an extra 2 hrs last night to rebuild the next month worth of appts and try to rebuild my contact list from my yahoo contacts.  Oh well.  I will be getting an android at my next upgrade.  I'm tired of all of the BS that comes with owning an iPhone.

    In a multilingual environment am using variation. I have 3 sites root site, English site and Arabic.
    All my lists are in root site with one condition I need to use out-of-the-box forms for data entry. My problem is when I try to insert an item in root web list, it will display English version of new item form.
    I cannot duplicate entry forms for each language, because if a new field is added in list I need to translate and update all the forms manually.

  • Not able to start out of the box approval workflow programmatically

    We have a requirement to start an out of the box workflow from a .NET web service.
    We are using the StartWorfklow method:
    wfManager.StartWorkflow(item, association, association.AssociationData
    we are getting the below error message at the above line of code: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.. Data: System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal
    Then, we tried:
    SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
            wfManager.StartWorkflow(item, association, association.AssociationData,
    SPWorkflowRunOptions.Synchronous);
    Now, the workflow got canceled automatically with "Failed on Start" status. In the "Workflow History", it is showing 2 records with "was canceled by System Account." & "failed to start" in the description
    column.
    Please advise.

    Hi Zhengyu,
    1. I've already done that:
    a) when "SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()"
    is used, there are no errors showing up and code gets executed. However, the workflow failed to start.
    b) When I don't use elevated privileges, the code is showing an error (Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.. Data: System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal) when
    it tries to start the workflow (StartWorkflow method).
    2. The workflow starts with no issues through UI. I tried it using "System Account" and another account.
    3. I tried also "Collect Feedback" workflow template. Same results...

  • Out of the box approval workflow suddenly failed on start (retrying)

    SharePoint 2010. I've been using out of the box approval workflow for several month now. I did some minor changes to it, like to who and when emails should be send, but that's all.
    Then out of a sudden it stopped working. New request status is "Failed on start (retrying)". Sometimes (!) status is "In Progress", but no tasks are created. In both cases there is nothing on workflow history and error report is also empty
    (it even cause an error "Report contains no data").
    I'm sure that I didn't change anything in a workflow. The only think that I changed was an InfoPath form, but I only added there field "Created By", so I would see in calendar later who created this request. I couldn't see how this might affect workflow
    process.
    I'm confused as I don't even know where to start searching for the solution. Why this might happen? Any ideas are very welcome!

     In my list I have a multiple choice field which is not required. When it was
    blank my workflow was failing on start! This field was not involved in a workflow directly, I included it only in the email to approver. When I deleted it from an email everything was fine.

  • Where is the SP 2010 out of the box workflow status value stored?

    I created an out of the box Approval - SharePoint 2010 workflow (TEST1) on a custom list. When I created this out of the box workflow, I specified a name for the task (TEST1 Tasks) and history (TEST1 History) list. 
    The workflow is creating tasks, sending emails, and the task emails lead me to a screen where I can approve or reject the requests.
    However, TEST1 - the list that contains the items created - doesn't have a status column.  The TEST1 Tasks has a status column. But I would prefer the people working with the workflow just look at TEST1 and not the Tasks or History lists.
    What is the preferred way to create one of these list workflows so that the admins only have to look at the specific tasks that have been submitted and they can see which have been approved or not?
    Thank you
     

    Thank you for your reply. Initially, I didn't have content approval turned on, had workflow approval turned on, but didn't have a status column. I also had an error in the history list that the status could not be created.
    When I turned on the content approval, then I got a status column, but now my list has a warning across the top telling the user that their request won't be public until approved.
    I don't really WANT a document approval workflow. But I don't see how to set up what I do want.
    What I need is a simple custom list - a few lookup columns, the rest static data columns, that describe an action that is being requested. That request (ala the list item) is what needs to be approved or rejected. There is no publishing needed in this workflow.
    The approval workflow was the closest I could see for setting up such a simple request workflow.

  • IPod Touch 1st Generation doesn't work directly out of the box?

    I just bought a first generation iPod touch and first things first I plug it into my PC. Nothing happens on the iPod and on iTunes I immediately get a message saying "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore it before it is usable with iTunes." So I hit OK and click yes to the message about restoring it to its factory settings, considering that's how it should be anyway since I had literally just taken it out of the box. I finally get a reaction from the iPod, and it's a solid white screen followed by the apple logo, and then for about 5 minutes iTunes says it's "prepaying the iPod for restore..." followed by the error message "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored, an unknown error occured. (1604)" Then the iPod disconnects from iTunes and proceeds to be frozen at the Apple logo screen. I have looked at all the troubleshooting walkthroughs and none of them work because I have never seen a screen on the iPod other than the Apple logo, it seems as though the only way to fix this is if I just take it back and get a replacement

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Is the device brand new? - the Second Generation have been around for some time now so I hope you got a good price on it.
    Have a read of this article which explains how to deal with the 1604 error:

  • 12GB already used on out-of-the-box refurb MBP?

    Hi-
    Just a quick question--
    My refurbished 15-inch MBP (2.2 Ghz, 120 GB hard disk) just arrived. I took it out of the box, started up and registered, and was planning to shift things from my old Powerbook G4 in Target disk mode, etc, but haven't done ANYTHING else yet. Out of curiosity I clicked on About this Mac, and saw that my HD has a capacity of 111.47 GB (I understand that "120 GB" probably means about 111 GB in reality), but that there is only 99.05 GB available, and 12.42 GB already used. Is that how much is needed for the basic Tiger (10.4.10) and applications that came preloaded on my MBP? If not, any ideas why 12.42 already used? Should I do an erase-and-install with Tiger OS? Do you think Apple didn't fully clean or erase the disk?
    Thanks,

    When Apple says "120 GB hard drive" they mean 120 billion bytes. But strictly speaking, 1 GB is 10243 bytes, not 10003 bytes.
    So when Finder says "111.47 GB capacity", it means 111.47 gigabytes, which is 111.47×10243=119.69 billion bytes. So your question is actually what happened to the missing 296 MB (or 0.31 billion bytes), and the answer is one of rounding error, disk overhead, or an extra partition on the hard drive used for booting. (The Boot camp forum has comments about an "extra" 300MB partition on the hard drive.)
    Unfortunately, the misleading "x GB hard drive" label for what is really an x÷1.0243 GB drive has become an industry standard, and is always stated in the fine print.
