OrgChart error: Cannot find the root of your orgchart....

Hi,
I'm trying to install orgchart live.
When I run OrgChart - I got following error: "Cannot find the root of your orgchart...."
Well settings are following:
a) data connection: ASHOST=xxxxxxxxxxxx  SYSNR=xx USER=xxxx PASSWD=xxxxxx CLIENT=xxx (this is OK)
b) General settings: 50000051 (for OrgChartRot - which is OK)
If i check CDS log I got following:
ERROR: StructGenerator : processStructureRules : Chart Is Empty (ChartingStruct.RootNodes == null)
Any idea?
Thx,
Damjan

sure....

    Regards,

    Hi Sagar,
    Could you please check under data connection your connection string?
    It should be the SAP connection string.
    The format of the connection string:
    ASHOST=SAPONE SYSNR=02 USER=USERNAME PASSWD=welcome1 CLIENT=800
    SAPONE = SAP host name
    02 = system number
    USERNAME = username
    welcome1 = password
    800 = client number
    Also, maybe this is a permission issue, please double check that
    the user that you are accessing SAP with has the correct permissions.
    Give them SAP_ALL if nexessary to investigate.
    Hope this helps,
    kind Regards,
    Matthew

  • Cannot find the root of your orgchart. The orgchart box may have been delet

    Hi All
    I have searched to forum for similar issues, but none seem to apply to the errors I get in the CDS log.

    Any suggestions as to what I am missing ?

    Hi Spike,
    There could be a number of reasons why the PositionEmpHierarchy table has not been created. My advice is to run an extract and then run each line of your join statements in your DB. This will highlight where the problem lies.
    Good luck!

  • Xmlreader schema validation error: Cannot find the declaration of element

    I have multiple schemas with namespaces but I would like to validate an xml document without namespaces. The schemas all have elementFormDefault="unqualified" in the root element.
    I am encountering error below in my validation using xmlreader:
    ERROR:
    Cannot find the declaration of element 'NewTradenetDeclaration'.
    my code is:
    xmlReader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
    xmlReader.setFeature(VALIDATION_FEATURE_ID, true);
    xmlReader.setFeature(SCHEMA_VALIDATION_FEATURE_ID, true);
    xmlReader.setFeature(SCHEMA_FULL_CHECKING_FEATURE_ID, true);
    xmlReader.setFeature(SCHEMA_NAMESPACE_FEATURE_ID, true);
    xmlReader.setProperty(JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE, XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);
    String schemaURI = "NewTradenetDeclaration.xsd";
    // ive tried all of the ff but throws the same error
    //xmlReader.setProperty(EXTERNAL_SCHEMA_LOCATION, "urn:crimsonlogic:tn:schema:xsd:NewTradenetDeclaration NewTradenetDeclaration.xsd");
    //xmlReader.setProperty(EXTERNAL_SCHEMA_LOCATION, schemaURI);
    xmlReader.setProperty(JAXP_SCHEMA_SOURCE, schemaURI);
    // set entity resolver to resolve xsd locations
    MyResolver resolver = new MyResolver();
    xmlReader.setEntityResolver(resolver);the entity resolver has:
    public InputSource resolveEntity (String publicId, String systemId) {
      String filename =  "c:/workspace/TXParser/schema/"+ systemId.substring(systemId.lastIndexOf("/")+1);
      File f = new File(filename);
      InputSource source = null;
      try {
        source = new InputSource(new FileReader(f));
      } catch(Exception e) {
      System.out.println("InputSource exception: " + e.getMessage());                 
      return source;
    }Help please. Thanks.

    I fight with the same error, it is curious that the schema from schemaLocation can not be validated. If i set the schema manually through an attribute it works. What i try to do is overwriting the resolveEntity in the handler to get the schema from another location and validate the xml against the schema specified in the attribute schemaLocation rather than setting it manually :-(

    When you run the go.bat it tries to run java
    Go to that directory and try to issue java -version and see if you get an error.
    If you do, correct your JAVA_HOME statment in your environment variables and/or add the java directory to your path.
    That should do it.

  • Error: Cannot find the assembly Oracle.DataAccess

    Hi, I've this problem when any program use a connection with Oracle provider over any server (2 distinct server access to Oracle 9i with forms applications).
    The specific error is:
    Cannot find the assembly Oracle.DataAccess, Version=1.102.2.20, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342.
    This problem is resolve (temporary) executing:

    But this is not an elegant solution.
    Please, ODP save something else in memory than executing this sentence clear an resolve this situation ??
    Exists any solution for this problem ??
    Thank for advance..
    Claudio

    This sounds odd - I don't see how compiling an Oracle procedure would help .NET to locate an assembly - you're not trying to run an assembly inside Oracle are you?
    Tell is more about what you're trying to do. If this is just a common program that is running on a server and trying to connect to Oracle, it sounds like ODP is not installed on the computer that is running this code. You should see Oracle.DataAccess in the GAC.

  • PageComposer Error - Cannot find the module necessary for printing C5051

    Hi
    Having some problems trying to setup a Windows 2008 R2 print server with shared Canon iR C5051 printer
    I've created the printer, installed the 64 bit driver Canon iR-ADV C5045/5051 PCL6 v 20.90 and works fine for 64 bit Windows 7 clients, installed the 32 bit driver by selecting printer properties, sharing tab, additional drivers and selecting x86 and pointing to the 32 bit PCL driver. Driver installs fine on the print server without any errors.
    Goto 32 bit client, add printer, select the shared printer from the printserver, printer installs Ok. When the user however tries to print, get the error:-
    Canon PageComposer
    Cannot find the module necessary for printing
    Re-install the printer driver
    I've done this countless times, any idea's on how to fix ?
    Thanks

    Where is the code you posted? Running in a separate project, I assume? Does that project have a dependency on the project containing the app module specified?
    And just to check (although by default, JDev should do this for you)--the app module project has been compiled since adding the configuration, right? You need to check to make sure the config exists not only under Project/src, but under Project/classes.
    Edited by: Avrom Roy-Faderman on Oct 6, 2008 2:02 PM
    Oh, and BTW--I assume this is not a typical ADF application, right? In a standard ADF application, you would very rarely need to instantiate an application module in code like this; you could just let the data binding facility do it for you. The technique like the one you're using is most appropriate for purely programmatic, no-UI cases. (e.g., once I tried to implement an SMTP server backed by business components. That was an appropriate case for ditching databindings and doing the sort of thing you're doing, because it had no view layer (because it had no UI to render).

    ERROR: Unable to find root device '4b28d500-8ed3-4fe5-ad26-97fbb01f979b'
    The error message itself is pretty clear; saying that the root device specified by my grub.cfg cannot be found and thus cannot be loaded.
    However, I'm 100% sure that the device is actually there and just for some reason grub cannot see it.
    Below please see the info from lsblk, pvdisplay, vgdisplay, lvdisplay, and some related info from fstab, grub.cfg and mkinitcpio.conf:

    Sorry, im newbie ( dont take my advice seriously ), but im very curious about his, because once i couldnt install grub as well so i went for syslinux instead , and i know i will have one more fresh install of arch to do, so im curious
    Hi Efka, I used grub-install and specified "/dev/sda" for argument. What I understand is that the sda is the identifier for the hard disk where all the sdaX reside. And if you look into the output of my lsblk, you will see that there is one partition sda1 that has no filetype, label and UUID on display; that is actually the bios boot partition where, as I understand, the grub code embeds itself.
    We can have different partition scheme to deploy and having a separate partition for /boot is just my personal preference ans it should work as well.

  • Massive problems but I cannot find the root cause.

     recently was experiencing some critical errrors in Windows XP Pro on my newly configured system which consists of an Athlon 2000+. MSI KT3 Ultra2 , 512 pc2700 by Micron, MSI ti4200 , 350watt Antec PS.
    At first I thought it was a PS problem so I pulled out the one that was in it and put in the Antec 350watt PSU, it crashed a few times and I got
    a few "memory Dump" critical errors so then I ran Windows XP check disk as well as Western Digital's disk checking tools (BTW its an 80gb SE) neither one found a problem..
    .....then I began to think that maybe my OC 1700+ was the problem so I pulled it out and installed a 2000+ and ran it at stock 133fsb...the problem was still there.
    Next I ran memtest for 12 hours straight....no errors.
    Finally I resorted to reinstalling to OS, I reformatted the drive and did so....right after the format I got a BSOD, then I got THIS.
    I give up.....what else could be going on?

    Well ram does make a lot of difference, especial DDR, they are hard.....
    Not all ram works fine on all boards.....
    Like I said, I have tried a lot of Micron, none worked ok, never.....
    Allway's problems somewhere.....
    I like Samsung, Infineon or Hyunday....
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    No offense but you are way off that on that one...perhaps this is your experience but I can
    assure you that it was pure conincidence.
    That is like saying that Chevron 92 octane unleaded works better in a Buick then it does a Pontiac and
    Texaco 92 octane fuel works better in a Pontiac
    then it does a Buick.
    Ram is ram , my 2 sticks of Micron PC2700 run at with the ram timings cranked to gills and at 155mhz system
    fsb....the ram is good no matter what. If it  wont go
    that fast on the MSI then the board is to blame.
    Funny , even MSI claims the board was made for overclocking but make sure you components can handle it. ha ha , not today MSI!
    But then again, I never use any other then SPD settings and no High-performance-settings.....
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
    Welp to each his own however even my pure reliability systems are overclocked hard for testing when I first
    get them set up because if they run well OCed then they
    are going to run wonderfully at stock speeds.
    Also, don't overclock untill you know where it goes wrong....
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    The problem is that the board is a pile of crap...perhaps mine is just a poor example though.

  • Error when trying to install the iSCSI target - Cannot find the Windows PowerShell data file 'ImportExportIscsiTargetConfiguration.psd1'

    Hi,
    I'm just attempting to setup an iSCSI target on a freshly installed Windows 2012r2 box, but I get the following error when attempting to Create and iSCSI virtual disk via the wizard after a successful
    installation of the iSCSI target role.
    The full error is:
    Cannot find the Windows PowerShell data file 'ImportExportIscsiTargetConfiguration.psd1' in directory 'C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\IscsiTarget\en-GB\', or in any parent culture.
    I tried to uninstall, then reinstall the role but no go.
    The Server Locale and UI was all updated to en-GB but this folder does not appear to exist in this location. Rather, the folder I can see is:
    'C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\IscsiTarget\en-US\'
    I'm going to attempt to copy the 'en-US' folder to 'en-GB' to see what happens, but I would like to know why this has occurred in the first place? Other roles have installed (such as AD DS AD CS and
    IIS) on other machines with no issue.
    Many thanks
    Chris
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    The error "Cannot find the Windows PowerShell data file 'ImportExportIscsiTargetConfiguration.psd1'" occured, because the file 'ImportExportIscsiTargetConfiguration.psd1' can't be loaded under the folder en-GB with current culture.
    I recommend you can copy this .psd1 file under  'C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\IscsiTarget'. Essentially if PowerShell can’t find the specified data file for the current culture it will “fallback” to the top-level data
    file in this case.
    For more detailed information, please refer to this article:
    Windows PowerShell 2.0 String Localization
    If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
