Problem with STMS

Hello SAP,
When we configure the STMS System (PRO is the domain), the connection with DES system fail (the CALTP_Linux RFC no run properly)
See the image please,
When execute ping to host the ping respond properly,
64 bytes from
HOST): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.015 ms
64 bytes from

Can you help me please?
Thanks.

Hi Victor,
Could you please share dev_w7 log file from the OS level,as it's completely related with the hostname entry under hosts file.Have you followed all the above recommendations completely.
Try to share the ping result for particular system,if failing then try to look under /etc/hosts files for proper entries as already suggested to you by @Regan Benjamin .
Also you mentioned
No, our IP address is solved by DNS
Our IP address is solved by DNS
Have you provided a static IP to that machine or by a DHCP server.,if obtaining IP from DHCP server than here could be the issue for failing of RFC connection.Kindly confirm.
Regards,
Gaurav Rana

Hi Balu,
Key here is
DB Connect -- Link to database failed
Offline Call -- could not access file as supposed
which is tp is unable to connect to your database.. indirectly R3trans may not be working fine.
While you are configuring TMS tp will conenct to database to update database tables which it is unable to do.
Please provide trace of R3trans -d
1. Logon at OS level with <sid>adm
2. Execute R3trans -d and paste the contenct of trans.log in the same directory where you executed R3trans -d
3. If you are able to solve DB connection error your self you can else please give OS and DB version and also Environment variables for the user sidadm.
Thanks,

Problem with TMS setup in HA systems

Dear colleagues,
Our team have installed a new production environmnent to ECC in HA. We have a ASCS in cluster and two dialog instance in each server(local instance).
A virtual host GPPR3CIB and two instances in local, node GPPR301 and node GPPR302. This is an ECC 6.0 on Windows 2003 Server and SQL server 2005.
The architecture is as follows:
- GPPR301 node:
   - Virtual ASCS ASCS_0 (message server)
   - ABAP Primary Instance PPR301_1 (disp+work)
   - ERS (Enqueue replication server) instace ERS_10
- GPPR302 node:
   -ABAP Additional Instance PPR302_2 (disp+work)
   -Virtual Database Instance GPPR3DB
   -ERS (Enqueue replication server) Instance ERS_10
Once the installation is complete you need to apply SAP Note No. 943334 - "TMS setup in high availability systems" to set up high availability STMS. The problem is to distribute the configuration after running
the report " 'TMS_MGR_LOADBALANCING" described in SAP note.
The message indicates problems trying to run the command tp.exe. It has followed the note No. 1010990 and we have checked the folder permissions of the kernel but the problem persists.
Any information or help regarding this type of setup would be welcome.
Thanks.

Hi,
We have solved the problem with STMS. After several tests, the problem was in the parameter SAPLOCALHOSTFULL. This parameter must be assigned the hostname of the local system for each profile instance. If you've assigned the virtual host in the cluster generates the error in the distribution of the STMS.
Regards.

Problem with the AF of my new 18-135mm EFS IS STM lens

Hello,
The lens came with the EOS Rebel T5i bundle.
The auto focus is working incorrectly, focusing closer than the detected area. This is happening when I use the viewfinder. When a picture is taken using the “direct view” (LCD display) it focus correctly.
I didn’t use the camera a lot since I bought it, now looking the first pictures I see that this problem is happening since I bought it.
I changed the zoom lens with another Canon camera and then my new Rebel T5i works fine and the same problem happens with the other camera, therefore I’m sure that the problem is in the lens and not in the camera body.
The out of focus is more noticeable when I'm taking pictures in 18mm position to an object farther than 2 meters but it is happening in any zoom position. It is clear when I compare the same picture taken with the viewfinder with one taken with the LCD Display.
I updated the body firmware and the problem continues.
Is it possible to update the lens firmaware? I couldn’t find them in the canon webpage.
I will go into an important trip next week, therefore I will not have time to send the camera to repair.
Any idea?
Thanks!

You may want to rent a lens for your trip and get this lens to service.
You'll want to be sure it really is a problem with the lens (it sounds like it is from your description). Test the lens against a "flat" target (such as a wall). You can hang something on the wall with high-contrast (newspaper works great) and put the camera on a tripod. The idea is that (a) the camera is definitely not moving, (b) the focus target is definitely not moving, and (c) the target is flat and there are no distracting objects in the field of view so it's not possible for the focus system to decide to lock focus on anything OTHER than your intended target.
Next... deliberately turn the focus ring to put the camera out of focus (so that the camera HAS to move the focus). This is mildly tricky with an STM lens since there's no mechanical link from the focus ring to the lens -- it's electronic. The lens only accepts focus input when focus is active (e.g. half-press the shutter button, etc. to wake it up.) I run focus all the way in and test several times, then run focus all the way out and test several times (that way it has to move focus in both directions.)
If the lens is consistently focusing closer, then it will need service.

Tp ended with error code 0247 - addtobuffer has problems with data- and/or

Hello Experts,
If you give some idea, it will be greatly appreciated.
This transported issue started coming after power outage, sap system went hard shutdown.
Then we brought up the system. Before that , we do not have this transport issue.
our TMS landscape is
DEV QA-PRD
SED-SEQSEP
DEV is having the TMS domain controller.
FYI:
*At OS level, when we do scp command using root user, it is fine for any TR.
In STMS, while adding TR in SEQ(QA system), we are getting error like this.
Error:
Transport control program tp ended with error code 0247
     Message no. XT200
Diagnosis
     An error occurred when executing a tp command.

Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?

In the last month or so, I've had one problem after another with the Canon Online Store; from being unable to delete items from the shopping cart; to not being able to add "in stock" items; disappearing Wish Lists; and just now, I tried to add one lens cap to the 6 or 7 items I already had in the Shopping Cart, and they disappeared.
I've called, more than once, and I've written, also more than once, to Canon Support about this, but they ignore what I tell them, and tell me there are no problems with the Online Store. They don't even seem to report to anyone that anyone has complained, because each time is "the first time", even though I've called (more than once) and written (more than once) to them about continuing Online Stores problems.
Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?
Why does Canon not care to track reported problems with the storefront part of their web-site?
I'm not trying to insult Canon, it's just that I've been a Canon customer for less than 3 months, and the're only batting .333, so far. Canon Support was very quick to respond about a concern I had that a 50mm f/1.4 I had just purchased was authentic or not. In trying to register that lens, I looked up on the Canon web site where to find the serial number. Since my new lens did not have any numbers there, I was concerned I had been sold a fake. But, then Canon Support sent me link to a different online document that showed a few different places where it might be, and there it was.
Is Canon like that with other problems, as well? Or is their "batting" average better than my very limited experience?
I just love my Rebel T5i, and my Canon lenses (from "the Kit brothers of the Cropped Frame coral": EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, and EF-S 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM; to the "Truly Nifty Fifty", the 50mm f/1.4 USM, [the f/1.8 is just a "thrifty fifty"], and finally, the "Super-Macro" MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1x-5x Macro)!

Hi Danny. Thanks for replying.
I only use my desktop PC to access Canon's web site, and I've been using Mozilla Firefox for years. And, yes, it is the latest version. Since Canon REFUSES to support the use of Firefox on it's web site, WHAT BROWSER DOES CANON SUPPORT? WHEN did Canon STOP SUPPORTING Firefox?
I've been told that there are 2 pending orders in my account. Yet, I NEVER placed those orders! WHY CAN'T CANON SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM???
Instead of off-target suggestions, and pasted boilerplate REFUSALS TO EVEN LOOK at this issue, I would prefer it if Canon went "old school", and FIXED THE PROBLEM, in the first place! But, maybe that's a bit too grown up of an answer for you!
"Award-winning" support??? And, just exactly WHAT AWARD did Canon "support" WIN for CONSISTANTLY IGNORING REPORTED PROBLEMS??? The OSTRICH?
Please pull your head out, and FIX this problem, OR YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!
Thank you for your "prompt" attention to this matter!

Problem with opening html page in Dreamweaver

Hello,
I would like to ask the forum because I have a problem with Dreamweaver 8.
In the past when I work with my PC on Windows XP I didn't have this problem.
Now I have a new PC with Windows 7 Familial Edition Premium.
I can open he most pages I would like, .htm particuliarly but some of them like .html don't opened in Dreamweaver 8
on PC with Windows 7.
Example:
With this page: http://www.pb-veille-consulting.com/veille.html
I can open it with Dreamweaver 8 under Windows XP on my portable PC.
But I can't open it with Dreamweaver 8 under Windows 7 on my fix PC.
Where is the problem?
You could watch the code of this page and perharps give me answers from my question.
Thanks a lot.
Patrick.

It could be that Extensions.txt and MMDocumentTypes.xml do not have the full set file extensions.
The first one can be located at ~username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS6/en_us/Configuration and needs to have HTML added to line 1

Problems with Transport Management System

Hi All,
i seem to be having some issues with my Transport Management System, we have a two system landscape DEV & PRD, the operating system is windows 2003 server. i am trying to access the usr/sap/trans on the transport host (DEV) from the PRD system, i have put patches on the DEV server, but i can't access these patches from the PRD server. I have also tried to release a test transport, but the queues are not being updated. the systems are in the same Domain and the same transport group. on the PRD server i have specified the following value for the DIR_TRANS =
DEVSERVER\sapmnt\trans. i have checked the files and they are shared, what could be the cause of this?

Can you please check the access of global TRANS directory from your PRD server. Login to your PRD server, goto transaction STMS --> Overview --> Systems. Select your developement system and goto SAP System --> Check --> Transport Directory. If it can access the global directory the tick marks will come otherwise there is some problem with the directory access.

Abhishek Jain

Problems with transporting

Hi,
I have a problem with transporting from DEV to PROD. There are no imports in import queue in SMTS.
I can export data from DEV, but there are not displayed in STMS. (Only texts as Language Netweaver 04 SR1 CS).
In TMS alert viewer there are a lot of errors. F.E. READ_DOCU_FAILED, RFC_SYSTEM_FAILURE, TP_REPORTED_ERROR (Transport control program tp ended with error code 0012).
We had no problems with this before but the old transports are not displayed in gueue too.
The RFC connection seems to be ok.
Can anybody help?
Thanks
Radka

Hi,
it seems does not help.
But I found a problem in transport groups.
If i run a check of transport groups. The error message "System DWP cannot read test file written by DWD" is displayed.
"When the system checked the transport groups, it discovered that system DWP cannot read a test file written by system DWD to the transport directory. The return code of the action was 0008"
DWD=DEV
DWP=PROD
Can anybody help? Or does somebody know, where sap creates the test file? Or the name of the test file...
Thanks

A problem with threads

I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
Thank you in advance,
Lefty

This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
     boolean active = true;
     public void run(){
          ss.setSoTimeout(90);
          while (active){
               try{
                    serverSocket = ss.accept();
               catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
               // do nothing
     // interrupt thread
     public void deactivate(){
          active = false;
          // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the
          // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.
          try{
               sleep(91);
          }catch (InterruptedException ie){
          interrupt();
}

Problem with Threads and a static variable

I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
Code functionality:
A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
The problem as far I understand is:
Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
Thanks,
B.D.
Code:
private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
private static Thread objMainProcess;
   protected static void Init(){
        objMainProcess = new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                   GetState();
        objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
        objMainProcess.start();
    public static void initStatusTimer(){
        if(objTimer == null)
             objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                          SetState();
    private static void SetState(){
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            bChanged = true;
            try{
                objMainProcess.notify();
            }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
    private static boolean GetState() {
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            if( bChanged) {
                SendMessage();
                bChanged = false;
                return true;
            try {
                objMainProcess.wait();
            }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
            return false;
    }

Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
Thanks,

Problem with threads running javaw

Hi,
Having a problem with multi thread programming using client server sockets. The program works find when starting the the application in a console using java muti.java , but when using javaw multi.java the program doesnt die and have to kill it in the task manager. The program doesnt display any of my gui error messages either when the server disconnect the client. all works find in a console. any advice on this as I havent been able to understand why this is happening? any comment would be appreciated.
troy.

troy,
Try and post a minimum code sample of your app which
does not work.
When using javaw, make sure you redirect the standard
error and standard output streams to file.
Graeme.Hi Graeme,
I dont understand what you mean by redirection to file? some of my code below.
The code works fine under a console, code is supposed to exit when the client (the other server )disconnects. the problem is that but the clientworker side of the code still works. which under console it doesnt.

Problem with threads and camera.

Hi everybody!
I've a problem with taking snapshot.
I would like to display a loading screen after it take snapshot ( sometimes i
have to wait few seconds after i took snapshot. Propably photo is being taken in time where i have to wait).
I was trying to use threads but i didn't succeed.
I made this code:
display.setCurrent(perform);
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                while((!performing.isShown()) && (backgroundCamera.isShown())){
                    Thread.yield();
                notifyAll();
        }).start();
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                try {
                    this.wait();
                } catch(Exception e) {
                    exceptionHandler(e);
                photo = camera.snapshot();
                display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
        }).start();This code is sometimes showing performing screen but sometimes no.
I don't know why. In my opinion performing.isShown() method isn't working correctly.
Does anyone have some idea how to use threads here?

Hi,
I've finally managed to work this fine.
The code:
       Object o = new Object();
       display.setCurrent(perform);
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                while(!performing.isShown()){
                    Thread.yield();
               synchronized(o) {
                  o.notify();
        }).start();
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                try {
                    synchronized(o) {
                       o.wait(1);
                } catch(Exception e) {
                    exceptionHandler(e);
                photo = camera.snapshot();
                display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
        }).start();
