OrgChart 3.0 Live 'Cannot find root..' error

I'm a novice on the Nakisa system and this might be a rookie question but I couldn't quite find the answer for my issue on this forum. I apologize if this is a repeat question.
Im on Product version - 7.0 Build version - 0700038500 and I just started setting up the Org Chart app.
I've set up the data connection to my SAP system (connection string to my SAP client, Data table =>BAPI_3_DataSets_O2O , Data filter => Type='O') and when I launch the application, here's the error I get -
'Cannot find the root of your orgchart. The orgchart box may have been deleted or incorrectly specified, or no valid org structure can be found for the selected effective date. Please change the root of the chart or select another effective date.'
I see the following error in my cds.log file -

Here's what I found when I put a debugger in the function module HCM_GET_ORGSTRUCTURE_AS_XML..
The application sends an input parameter for viewid = 'ZVW0SP'. The FM tries to look this value up in either table TWPC_V_C or TWPC_V. The FM cannot find the view id and so returns a blank/null as the XML_STRING output.
Is this the cause for the error or am I way off? If it is, how do I get this view into my SAP client? Should I ask the basis person to look it up in client 00?
Thanks
Pooja

Hi Pooja,
Did you import the Nakisa Transport Package and ABAP Add-on into the SAP system? The Nakisa Transport Package contains the HR-OCI views etc that you need.
Best regards,
Luke

[SOLVED] cannot find root device after pacman -Syu

Today I had a problem after pacman -Syu. Of course, my problem stemmed from not paying attention to the following (from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57205):
<b>Read pacman's output while upgrading.</b>
I could no longer boot. I received a message "cannot find root device" or something similar indicating a device with the appropriate UUID had not been found and I was being dropped into a recovery shell, then, when I typed exit, an emergency shell, followed shortly by a freeze.
After some investigation it appeared my initramfs was broken/non-existent/something after the install. I booted into a live CD and found that updating pacman again, and mkinitcpio -p linux both displayed the following error: "Failed to create temporary working directory in /tmp". Long story short: mktemp was segfaulting. This should be extremely easy to check if you're having a similar problem. I replaced it with the version on the live CD and ran the pacman update again. Success. If you do this, you may need to make sure your live cd architecture and installed kernel architecture are the same.
I'm not sure of the etiquette here, so I'm posting this in case someone else has the same problem I did; and benefits from a similar solution. I have checked the etiquette post and I don't think it's clear whether it's kosher to post things that don't actually require a solution. However, if I have misinterpreted the rules/etiquette and/or this type of post is considered extraneous please remove it.

You have to use lvm first. As all those vg*, lv*, and pv* commands are actually links to the lvm command, you should have to do something like "lvm vgscan" instead of just "vgscan".
Edit: oh and at that point in the boot process, you are actually in the initramfs still (ash to be specific).
Edit2: I was having issues with a USB keyboard and a new machine (actually just a new bios), and found out that because of windows 8's requriement for a fast POST, the default is to turn off the scanning for usb devices. Though this was for UEFI, and I am not sure if the same would apply for a bios booting machine...

How can I open my file after 'cannot find -filename-' error message?

OK, the bottom line is, InDesign crashes and I cannot recover my file. I get a 'Cannot find file' error message when I try to open the file.
I am using CS6 on a MacBookAir, OS X Yosemite.
I have tried finding the 'InDesignFileRecovery' folder, I cannot find it anywhere, it's not in my Library or Caches folder.
However, I do work in dropbox, so I just headed over to dropbox to recover from their 'previous versions'. It starts to get weird. There are lots of previous versions (I save very regularly) but when I download a previous version (that I know was fine) it downloads with a indd.txt extension. So I remove the txt extension and keep the indd and everything looks fine, but then that recovered file gives the same message. I tried renaming the recovered file and opening that, same 'cannot find file' error message.
I can open InDesign and open the file from the day before, but none of the dropbox earlier versions of that day's work. I am SO sick of this happening. It happened to me last week to, so far I have lost 20 hours work :-(
I have tried quitting InDesign and restarting the Mac, doesn't help. The only thing I can think of is to 'save as' every couple of hours, at least then hopefully I only lose 2 hours work.

Thanks, when you say 'hidden by default' then how does one find it? I have already tried the path you mention and there is no sign of a cache folder with Adobe files. Spotlight doesn't reveal anything either.

Need help with class info and cannot find symbol error.

I having problems with a cannot find symbol error. I cant seem to figure it out.
I have about 12 of them in a program I am trying to do. I was wondering if anyone could help me out?
Here is some code I am working on:
// This will test the invoice class application.
// This program involves a hardware store's invoice.
//import java.util.*;
public class InvoiceTest
     public static void main( String args[] )
     Invoice invoice1 = new Invoice( "1234", "Hammer", 2, 14.95 );
// display invoice1
     System.out.println("Original invoice information" );
     System.out.println("Part number: ", invoice1.getPartNumber() );
     System.out.println("Description: ", invoice1.getPartDescription() );
     System.out.println("Quantity: ", invoice1.getQuantity() );
     System.out.println("Price: ", invoice1.getPricePerItem() );
     System.out.println("Invoice amount: ", invoice1.getInvoiceAmount() );
// change invoice1's data
     invoice1.setPartNumber( "001234" );
     invoice1.setPartDescription( "Yellow Hammer" );
     invoice1.setQuantity( 3 );
     invoice1.setPricePerItem( 19.49 );
// display invoice1 with new data
     System.out.println("Updated invoice information" );
     System.out.println("Part number: ", invoice1.getPartNumber() );
     System.out.println("Description: ", invoice1.getPartDescription() );
     System.out.println("Quantity: ", invoice1.getQuantity() );
     System.out.println("Price: ", invoice1.getPricePerItem() );
     System.out.println("Invoice amount: ", invoice1.getInvoiceAmount() );
and that uses this class file:
public class Invoice
private String partNumber;
private String partDescription;
private int quantityPurchased;
private double pricePerItem;
     public Invoice( String ID, String desc, int purchased, double price )
          partNumber = ID;
     partDescription = desc;
     if ( purchased >= 0 )
     quantityPurchased = purchased;
     if ( price > 0 )
     pricePerItem = price;
public double getInvoiceAmount()
     return quantityPurchased * pricePerItem;
public void setPartNumber( String newNumber )
     partNumber = newNumber;
     System.out.println(partDescription+" has changed to part "+newNumber);
public String getPartNumber()
     return partNumber;
public void setDescription( String newDescription )
     System.out.printf("%s now refers to %s, not %s.\n",
partNumber, newDescription, partDescription);
     partDescription = newDescription;
public String getDescription()
     return partDescription;
public void setPricePerItem( double newPrice )
     if ( newPrice > 0 )
pricePerItem = newPrice;
public double getPricePerItem()
return pricePerItem;
Any tips for helping me out?

How do I resolve the "Mozilla cannot find runtime" error message when I try to start Firefox?

Mozilla Firefox updated to version 36.0. When I click on the Firefox icon to open it I receive the message: "Mozilla cannot find runtime" I receive the same message if I try to open Firefox by selecting "firefox.exe" from within the Program Files. I subsequently uninstall Mozilla Firefox and reinstall it. It will open and run normally right after the re-installation. Then if I close the program and try to re-open it again, I get the same "Mozilla cannot find runtime" error message.
The only way I can get Firefox to open is if I uninstall and re-install it every time I want to open it after the initial re-installation.

''sage68 [[#answer-700841|said]]''
<blockquote>
Hi Adriel,
The "Mozilla cannot find runtime" problem has returned. It occurs in two situations:
1. When Firefox tries to download updates using "updater.exe" (version 36.0.0.5531), which causes my "Norton Internet Security" program to notify me with the message: "Auto-Protect has removed security risk Suspicious.Cloud.9.B" This message is shown every time "updater.exe" activates.
</blockquote>
I also have experienced this during several upgrades, not just the latest. (I am using Windows XP and Norton Security Suite.) Norton identifies c:\program files\mozilla firefox\updated\xul.dll with the Suspicious.Cloud.9.B virus and removes the file. I can set the Norton installation to accept xul.dll but it would make more sense for a Mozilla expert to contact Norton and work out a permanent solution, for all who are facing this problem.

Hello everyone. I have gone throught my whole
program and I am still getting a cannot find symbol
error. "Symbol" here means variable or method name (or maybe class name, but I think it will specifically bitch about classnames in that case).
String foo = "foo";
System.out.println(zoo); // no such variable as zoo. So...
colorPanel.setbackgroundColor(new backgroungColor(color));Looks like colorPanel or setbackgroundColor(new backgroungColor doesn't exist.
Note that spelling and capitalization count. Java's really anal that way.

AnyConnect installation issues - Network Adapter is not created - cannot find any error?

I am a contractor with a Federal Agency that just swithed to using Cisco AnyConnect for VPN access. I am about the only person with this installation issue, that I know of. When installing the AnyConnect client on a Windows 7 machine running a 3.X msi install - the expected Cisco NewWork Adapter is not created in Network connections as I would expect. I have turned off Firewall services, I've turned off SQL services, Citrix, etc. But nothing I have tried allows this to install correctly.
When I attempt to use the AnyConnect VPN client and login the the remote service - I receive the
The VPN client driver has encountered an problem. Please restart your computer or device, then try again.
I have attempted the driver database fix suggested online - BUT it didn't correct the problem because I think my problem is in the initial setup, although I cannot find and error in the Windows/inf/setupapi.app.log and setupapi.dev.log that would suggest there is an driver problem.
The DART logs are a bit cryptic, but nothing stands out that would give me any idea as to what might be blocking the creating of the Network adapter the VPN Client would use to connect to the remote network.
Can anyone here point me in the right direction - I am not receiving help from configuration management - their solution is to format my entire computer and rebuild it which will cost me weeks of time and I have a deadline looming in Feburary.
Thank you!

Cannot find symbol error.. really stuck.

I have a class named Rectangle.java. It is in a package "Geometry" together with Point.java and Line.java. But when I try to use Rectangle.java in my main program, MyRect.java, it gives me a "cannot find symbol" error, particularly the methods and sometimes the variables. I tried compiling just my Rectangle class and it compiled fine.. And I tried the Line and Point classes on another program and it works fine... well probably because the Line and Point classes are from a book(Ivor Horton's Beginning Java 2)..

Cannot find symbol error. don't know why

Hello, I'm trying to write a button bean in the shape of a triangle but netbeans keeps throwing up a cannot find symbol error at my g.fillPolygon line. I've declared the number of sides and x and y coords.
Any ideas as to why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.
Here's the code:
package trianglebutton;
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.io.*;
public class TriangleButtonBean extends JButton implements Serializable
private TriangleButtonBean graphicPolygon;
private Color buttonColour;
private Color textColour;
private String caption;
private int sides = 3;
private int size = 30;
private int centerX = 100;
private int centerY = 100;
     public TriangleButtonBean()
          super();
          setPreferredSize(new Dimension(50,50));
          setBorder(null);
          buttonColour = Color.red;
          textColour = Color.black;
          caption = "";
     public TriangleButtonBean(String acaption)
          super();
          setPreferredSize(new Dimension(50,50));
          setBorder(null);
          caption = acaption;
     public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
String astring;
          super.paintComponent(g);
g.setColor(buttonColour);
          int centerX = graphicPolygon.getCenterX(); //Invoking getCenterX method
          int centerY = graphicPolygon.getCenterY(); //Invoking getCenterY method
          //int Xcoordinates [] = graphicPolygon.getPolygonXCoordinates(sides,size);
          //int Ycoordinates [] = graphicPolygon.getPolygonYCoordinates(sides,size);
g.drawPolygon(centerX,centerY, sides); //Draw polygon using xcoord,ycoord and number of sides
          g.fillPolygon(centerX,centerY, sides); //Fill poly
          g.setColor(textColour);
          if (caption.length() > 1)
               astring = caption.substring(0,1);
          else
               astring = caption;
          g.drawString(astring,22,27);
     public void setButtonColour(Color acolour)
          buttonColour = acolour;
          repaint();
     public Color getButtonColour()
          return buttonColour;
     public void setTextColour(Color acolour)
          textColour = acolour;
          repaint();
     public Color getTextColour()
          return textColour;
     public void setCaption(String acaption)
          caption = acaption;
          repaint();
     public String getCaption()
          return caption;
// public void setCenterX(int xcoords)
// centerX = xcoords;
public int getCenterX()
return centerX;
// public void setCenterY(int ycoords)
// centerY = ycoords;
public int getCenterY()
return centerY;
public static void main(String[] args){
TriangleButtonBean agui = new TriangleButtonBean();
} // End of class

Please READ, STUDY, and UNDERSTAND the error messages, they are telling you exactly what the problem is:
. . .\TriangleButtonBean.java:56: cannot find symbol
symbol : method drawPolygon(int,int,int)
location: class java.awt.Graphics
g.drawPolygon(centerX,centerY, sides); //Draw polygon using xcoord,ycoord and number of sides
^
. . .\TriangleButtonBean.java:57: cannot find symbol
symbol : method fillPolygon(int,int,int)
location: class java.awt.Graphics
g.fillPolygon(centerX,centerY, sides); //Fill poly
^
2 errors
Process javac exited with code 1In both cases the messages ar telling you that the methods
drawPolygon(int,int,int)
method fillPolygon(int,int,int)
can't be found in java.awt.Graphics
And if you look at the documentation, you see that is indeed the problem - the first two arguments are int arrrays, not int.
Fix the method signature or use something else.

Cannot find symbol error -- array fill from text file

When I compile my program I receive a cannot find symbol error for the variable ayears. I thought this snippet would fill the array ayears that could be accessed later in the program but I am getting the error message from my buildGUI() class. What could I have done wrong?
(my file options.txt contains data separated by a comma and a space)
public void getOption(){
     InputStream istream;
     File options = new File("options.txt");
     istream = new FileInputStream(options);
     try {
                           StringBuffer sbuff = new StringBuffer();
                           BufferedReader inbuff = new
BufferedReader(new FileReader(options));
                           String line = "";
                           while((line = inbuff.readLine()) != null) {
                           System.out.println(line);
          sbuff.append(line);
                           inbuff.close();
                          String fileData = sbuff.toString();
          String[] splitData = fileData.split(", ");
          String[] ayears = new String[splitData.length];
     catch(Exception e){
     JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
     "Could not find specified file", "Error Message",
     JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
}

Okay -- that helped. I've avoided that error -- now on to the next one, why won't my array fill? It's going to be a long night.
Thanks for the help.

Please help with cannot find symbol error. Been struggling all day :(

Hi all. :)
Writing a game for my phone with KToolbar and have been getting a cannot find symbol error for every variable and method I try to use across Classes. I've looked all over and though it seems a common problem I always either don't understand or can't get working the various solutions. Example of my errors:
C:\...\BTK800i.java:197: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable youSayWhat
location: class HelloCanvas
          youSayWhat=key;
          ^
If I try BTK800i.variable or BTK800i.message I get a new error.
C:\...\src\BTK800i.java:184: non-static method newOrdersSarge() cannot be referenced from a static context
          BTK800i.newOrdersSarge();
          ^
Both these errors apply to both variables and methods. It only happens when I'm using methods/variables of one class in another, am I using public and private incorrectly? It doesn't seem to make a difference if I make variables public or leave them private, I'm trying to get to them with a public method within a private class. Is it something else? I really have no idea. :(
Here's my code, it's long enough to be a tiresome read so I've tried to skip what I know isn't relevant.
public class BTK800i extends MIDlet {
     private Display myDisplay;
     private HelloCanvas myCanvas;
     public int youSayWhat;
        //a whole bunch more skipped here, but I'm fairly certain it's not anything that'll help find a solution
     public BTK800i() {
          paused=false;
public void startApp() throws MIDletStateChangeException {
          if( paused ) {
               myCanvas.repaint();
          else {
               myDisplay=Display.getDisplay(this);
               myCanvas=new HelloCanvas();
               myDisplay.setCurrent(myCanvas);
               myCanvas.setFullScreenMode(true);
               youSayWhat=0;
                       //again with the skipping, more code not related
public void newOrdersSarge() {
//whole bunch of code
//other methods skipped
class HelloCanvas extends Canvas {
     public void keyPressed (int key) {
          youSayWhat=key;
          repaint ();
//skippage
}The stuff I skipped is mainly either more of the same sorta thing or maths/writing to screen stuff.
Thanks alot to anyone who helps. I'm really struggling with this. :(
Dan.

But I have been reading them :(
My next-door neighbour unfortunately is an 80-something married man, but I will go have a looksie about static and instances.
I thought the point of public variables was that other classes could use them, is this wrong?
Also does this mean that to use the variables from my BTK class in the HelloCanvas class I need to first instantiate BTK? I don't understand how that works as the code starts running from the BTK class in the first place :S I guess more reading will help with this.
Thanks very much for replying. :)
Edit:
OK I have read up on it but I don't think I found anything I hadn't read before. I tried to make a new class which I could instantiate to hold all the variables and methods I wanted everything to be able to access, but that went disastrously. Am I right in understanding that there are no global variables in Java? :s
