Proc flow completetes without error although proc ends in an warning-end

in my process flow i modelled 3 endings: ok, waring, error
(external process to unix-script where i simulated with
exit 0 == succsessful
exit 1 == warning
exit 2 == error
with process activity: Use Return as Status)
my process flow ends everytime sucessfully in the runtime audit browser,
but when i start the flow with the wb_rt_api_exec.run_task api
i get the right error code in dbms_output:
Stage 4: Executing Task
l_audit_result=2 (WARNING)
when I'm exiting the shell script with exit 2
so what i must do to raise the error code as global error code of the process flow?

I believe that OWB might use
ok=1
warning=2
error=3.
Not expected for someone who writes C or shell scripts, but this might be the cause. Try raising 1/2/3 in stead of 0/1/2.
Good luck, Erik Ykema
I cannot find wb_rt_api_exec.run_task in the documentation. Why do you use it?
(see wb_rt_api_exec.run_task

  • Error ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel in droppping  a table

    Good evening,
    I am very new on Oracle and I have a problem with some tables. Without any reason, apparently, I can't drop some of my table. Oracle gives me this error:
    ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
    and then close the connection of the user.
    What I should have to do?
    It is very important.
    Thanks a lot

  • Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

  • Help with error message: Expected end of line but got identifier

    The following is a calculated applescript step in a Filemaker script. It tells iCal to go to the date of an iCal event that the script has previously created from Filemaker. The code below keeps generating an error message: "Expected end of line but got identifier." Note: "ACTIVITY::Date" below is Filemaker's way of indicating the file name (ACTIVITY) and the field in question (date). Help appreciated.
    "tell application \" iCal\" ¶
    activate ¶
    switch view to month view ¶
    set theDate to date \"" & ACTIVITY::Date & "\" ¶
    view calendar at theDate ¶
    end tell"

    It's not clear exactly what you're aiming for here, so it's not easy to tell you how to fix it.
    At first glance I'd say you're missing a quote symbol or two, but even then it doesn't make a lot of sense without more context - for example, 'ACTIVITY::Date' isn't valid as an AppleScript variable name (you can't have a : in a variable name), and your code isn't within a Filemaker block, so it doesn't appear to relate to Filemaker, either.
    In either case the only thing that looks remotely valid to me would be:
    set theDate to date "\"" & ACTIVITY::date & "\""
    but without knowing the context of ACTIVITY::Date it's impossible to tell if this is valid, or how it differs from:
    set theDate to date ACTIVITY::Date
    (i.e., why the quotes are needed at all)

  • Work Flow in Status Error

    Hi Experts,
    I have a Workflow which triggers on record update.
    After the start step i have 3 assignment Fields and then Some validations etc.
    I can see that this workflow is stopped at First assignment step Some times with Error.
    And when i Open the workflow and close it again, then the next time there is a Update to a Record this workflow works fine...
    This is strange..
    the Workflow entry which is in ERROR will remain the same, Even if i press 'Perform' ..
    DId anyone face this issue earlier!!!
    It works fine for 2 days and suddenly i can see in Workflow table there is a entry with Error at First Assignment step of Workflow.
    when i Open work flow, Edit some description and save it back and the rest of the workflows from then are executing without error.
    But the one with Error in WF table still remains the same even after selecting 'Perform' on it.
    KR

    Hi John,
    Please find details of a SAP Note 1553992 on this issue:
    Symptom
    - Data Manager crashes when trying to click on workflow job line (only    in MDM 5.5).
    - Workflow jobs are in error state due to executing next step such as     syndication step after a job was in error state due to bad assignment.
    Other terms
    - Workflow crash Data Manager, O28627 2011
    Reason and Prerequisites
    o Description of the root cause of the bug and ways to reproduce and/or diagnose the issue:
    Reproducing the scenario can be done by creating a workflow with the following steps:
    1. Start
    2. Bad Assignment (e.g. assignment created unique constraint violation)
    3. Syndication
    4. Stop
    After executing the workflow job, the job is shown in error state in MDM Data Manager.
    Clicking on next -> Syndication step changes the workflow job to a job that only the owner can see. The job is shown in MDM Data Manager in error state, its step description is empty and no user specified in user column.
    Clicking on the workflow job will lead to a crash in Data Manager.
    MDM Data Manager crashes since the workflow job is is in error state but none of his steps is in error state.
    In this mode(unlisted), MDS prepares the workflow list to be send to Data Manager with user name with value NULL.
    Data Manager crashes when it tries to access the user name of the workflow.
    The issue was introduce with MDM 5.5.
    Issue is not relating to a specific platform/DBMS.
    Solution
    o The workaround is:
    Delete workflow job in error state using Java API.
    o The description of the fix is:
    The fix handles two scenarios:
    1. Existing workflow jobs in error state that caused a crash
       in MDM Data Manager. A fix was made in MDS to add the owner as user
       name to the workflow jobs in such scenario.
       As a result users are able to delete the workflow job or show its
       history.
    2. New workflow job will not stay in Error state and the next step will
       be correctly performed.
    o The issue was fixed in the following code lines and versions:
    - MDM 5.5 SP06 Patch05 Hotfix 45 (Build 5.5.65.125) -
        change list #94328
    - MDM 7.1 SP07 (Build 7.1.07.113) - change list #94340
    - MDM 7.11     (Build 7.11.0.146) - change list #94339
    o What areas of the code were fixed?
    Workflow Run Time
    o What areas of the code were affected by the fix?
    Workflow Run Time
    o The following component(s) need to be replaced to correct the specific flaw addressed by this note:
    In 5.5 Version:
    Master Data Server
    MDM SERVER 5.5
    In 7.1 Version:
    Master Data Server
    o Additional component(s), if any, that were impacted and should be regression-tested by the code change:
    In 5.5 Version:
    GUI Clients
    JAVA API
    In 7.1 Version:
    Data Management Clients
    JAVA API
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Ravi

  • InDesign CS3 crashes without error when opening any 2nd InDesign file

    Issue: InDesign CS3 crashes without error and remains resident in memory if we have an InDesign file open and attempt to open a second InDesign file.
    OS: Win XP SP2
    InDesign Version: 5.0.2
    Hardware: Dell Precision WorkStation T3400, 4 gigabytes of memory, Intel Core2 Quad processor Q6600
    Details: No messages in the event viewer about the problem. We renamed the InDesign Defaults and the InDesign Saved Data file. We removed Creative Suite, restarted and then reinstalled Creative Suite (I could not remove and reinstall InDesign individually). We have created a new Windows profile for this user. I have one computer having the trouble. Other InDesign installations are working fine. This computer has 559 files in C:\windows\fonts. Other people that are not having the problem have a larger number of fonts installed.
    The issue is not file specific. We are not running out of memory as I checked the task manager after the first InDesign document is open.
    Why is opening a second document different than opening the first document?

    Hello Peter and Josh,
    I'd just like to assert that I am having the exact same problem as Josh. I've spent the time to go through the steps listed above and have found the same results.
    The issue as we see it multiple times daily is as follows:
    (1) User opens File1 (everything works fine)
    (2) User goes to open File2 (via explorer or via file->open) or print File1
    (3) The User Interface for ID disappears (InDesign.exe still appears in Task Manager and is NOT listed as "Not Responding", ID does not appear in the Task Bar)
    (4) The only way to continue work is to End Task/End Process InDesign.exe and relaunch.
    No error messages appear, no error logs are created(that I can find). Non-related concerns caused us to upgrade this users PC. With a completely new install we are still having the problems. The systems are listed as follows:
    OS: Win XP SP2 (fully updated minus SP3)
    InDesign Version: 5.0.2
    Newest Hardware: Custom Built Computer, 4GB RAM installed (3.24 recognized by windows), Intel Core2 Quad processor Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
    OS: Win XP SP2 (fully updated minus SP3)
    InDesign Version: 5.0.2
    Older Hardware: Custom Built Computer, Intel D945GTP Motherboard, 2GB RAM installed, Intel Pentium D processor @ 2.8Ghz
    Troubleshooting:
    (1) Alt+Space and M then using arrow keys moves every other window the user had opened other than In-Design. The user has two monitors. (a) 1280x1024 and (b) 1200x1600 (yes she uses the monitor rotated 90 degrees
    (2) Log files - Non exist in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 folder. I've also done a search across the entire hard drive for any "*.log" files, none of which were adobe related.
    (3) Default Printer - Changing the default printer to Adobe PDF is not really an option. I was able to convince the user to temporarily switch to a different networked printer and await the results (most likely today or tomorrow it should recreate)
    (4) /3GB switch - Getting that last 700 something MB of memory isn't an issue. I've run MemTest.exe on all the available system memory overnight in a "burn in" test. The system ran fine the sticks were nice and warm when I got in from all the hard work :)
    (5) Order of Opening - The problem repeates regardless of order. The trick seems to be opening File2 or printing File1 (I had the user only work on one file at a time (required her to close any open files before opening the next, that wasn't fun for my user but the system didn't crash on opening in this scenario, just on printing. Obviously not a permanent work around)
    Any help here would be much appreciated as this has been plaguing us for months now.

  • ITunes won't load without Error

    I just loaded a new drive with a clean install of windows on a test machine I have and iTunes will load without error. It will start to import a CD but will then lock up or freeze no error. Also none of the 21 back up CD's I have or the 5 dvd's will work to recover my library. Something is seriously wrong with iTunes and it seems that Apple does not care.

    After doing some trouble shooting I followed method 4 on this link as noted Can not install some updates or programs in a few other articles.
    When I rebooted this time and attempted to launch iTunes nothing happened other than the icon becoming highlighted. I then checked both the widows task manager applications and the processes tab.
    Applications
    -Nothing running
    Processes
    -iTunes.exe
    -iPodservice
    -iTuneshelper.exe
    -applemobildevice.
    I attempted to end all these processes and reload itunes without any luck. Next I went into MSCONFIG and set it for selective startup. Under the services tab I removed Ipod Service and Apple Mobildevice from loading at startup and under the startup tab I removed iTuneshelper from loading.
    After restarting and attempting to reload it is still not successful.
    Any ideas to resolving this issue?

  • Process Flow branches to Error, displays success in RAB

    Hello,
    I am calling a custom function from within a process flow in OWB. This function is performing some basic, customized validations after the mappings execute within the process flow. Depending on the result of the validation function, I want the process flow to branch to either Success, Warning, or Failure. The process flow is branching correctly based on the return code from the function. I can verify this from WorkFlow Manager. However, when I look at the execution of the process flow in the Runtime Audit Browser (RAB) it shows that the process flow completed successfully, regardless of what state it branched to. I would like for the process flow to be marked as either a warning or error in RAB, so that I can quickly identify what process flows failed the validation check perfomed by my function. How can I make RAB display these indicators? I'm running OWB repository version 9.2.02.0.
    Thanks,
    Justin

    Mark,
    Thanks for the reply.
    In my process flow I have included all three ending activities. I have also checked that the correct condition is placed on the transition to the activity (i.e. on Error condition, branch to End Error) The process flow is following the correct branch depending on the code returned from my function. (Workflow Manager confirmed this for me) Regardless of the End condition, RAB indicates that the process flow completed successfully. When it ended in an error, I would have expected RAB to display the usual red 'X' by the process flow but it is not.
    Thanks,
    Justin

  • Addon disconected without error

    We have an addon that after starting it disconnects without errors...we have already researched all the posts and  tried their methods with no avail...
    SAP says the addon is disconected but if you go to the task manager the process is there...
    Details:
    -Reinstaled DI api, checked that it was the correct DI api version
    -One client has SAP 2007 SP01 PL06 the other one has SAP 2007 SP01 PL10
    -We have try catch in every event with warnings and it doesnt raise anything
    -Checked the events order and changed them in multiple configurations...
    -Commenting parts of the code we located the problem inside the pVal.EventType == BoEventTypes.et_VALIDATE but the addon would not work correctly without handling this event. We added test messages at the first line of this if region and SAP doesnt show them, only the disconnected message...
    -The message appears as soon as you click in the addon manager window
    -We suspect is some type of DI api overflow or so as there is a lot of if else if in this region...but to happen only at two clients...
    -The problem happens at the server machine and at client machines, also between different BD so it has to be something clientwise..
    Is there someplace where SAP stores more info about this case for debugging? Some internal error file or something like it?
    Any possible help is appreciated...

    Sorry, i step over this sentence,
    This is cased by the addon. Do you run a time consuming operation in your addon?  If yes, you may use a timer, and send any events to sap b1 client to keep alive the addon.
    I was helped me a lot. Also comes from my exerience, that sometimes the start order of the addons are solve this issue (on addon management you can change the starting order of the addons by up and down arrows).
    Here is a simple code for timer, which you can start on the begining of time consuming operations),.
    Dim SAPB1Timer As  System.Timers.Timer
    Private Sub StartMonitorSAPB1()
            Dim SAPB1Timer As New System.Timers.Timer
            AddHandler SAPB1Timer.Elapsed, AddressOf MonitorSAPB1
            SAPB1Timer.Interval = (1000 * 10) ' 5 seconds
            SAPB1Timer.Enabled = True
            SAPB1Timer.Start()
        End Sub
        Private Sub MonitorSAPB1(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As Timers.ElapsedEventArgs)
            Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form = sbo_application.Forms.GetForm("167", 1)
            If oForm Is Nothing Then
                'Left Form Bar is closed
                Exit Sub
            Else
                oForm.Update()
            End If
        End Sub

  • CRM 2015 installation hangs without errors on Windows Server 2012 installed in a VM

    I have installed a Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012 on a VM using VMware Player and then installed Dynamics CRM 2013, working out all the configuration problems.
    The installation hanged once without errors and when I tried it again it was installed, no problems. Dynamics CRM 2013 works without issue.
    Then I copied the machine, uninstalled the Dynamics CRM 2013 and started installing CRM 2015. However this time without errors the installation hangs even though I tried more than 5 times.
    There are no errors, installation program is not unresponsive and task manager shows nothing out of the ordinary.
    I have also tried this on multiple physical and virtual PCs to no avail.

  • Cash Management - AutoRecon without errors, but still unreconciled?

    Hi guys,
    Pretty interesting question:
    I have multy period's bank file (transactions for 3 accounting periods), all settings are according the manual on AP and CM sides done.
    Statement's Import finished without errors, AutoReconciliation finished without errors, but Statement still have status UNRECONCILED and on AP side transactionsin ap_checks_all table still have STATUS_LOOKUP_CODE as NEGOTIABLE, and CLEARED_AMOUNT, CLEARED_DATE, REQUEST_ID, CLEARED_ERROR_AMOUNT and ACTUAL_VALUE_DATE fields are still empty.
    The periods were OPEN at the time of a run.
    Only when I go to the Statement in CM and open the lines and reconcile them one by one it works.
    Please advise, any help will be appreciated!
    Bok

    Hi,
    Step: 1
    Check the System parameters Auto Reconciliation Setups
    Step: 2
    Check the Bank Statment line has Bank Transaction Code attached
    Step: 3
    Check the Document number given in Bank Statement line is matching exactly with the Payment/Receipt
    Step: 4
    Check the Bank Code attached to line is same as the available line you are trying to match i.e. RCT to Receipt, PMT to Payment etc
    Step: 5
    Assign MO: Security Profile Option to your user id
    Run Autoreconciliation Program now. The issue should be resolved.

    Due to the nature of the error and to prevent any trial-and-error, I would highly recommand you to open a service request with Oracle asap.
    Oracle too recommands the same.
    Thanks...

  • How do I get the Audio Books to stick without error on any of my car

    Good evening all.
    I have been drafting a FAN message in my head for several days now, mainly because I have seen so many people baggin all over the ZEN in a number of posts... It's getting late, and I am resolved to not bore everyone with my rhetorical delights, so - for this night I enter to say: - THANK YOU so very much for the Helpful Hints thread, that was very kind. And 2- The PQI SD cards, both the 2GB as well as the 4GB are a hit with the ZEN as well as all the others mentioned thus far.
    Seems a big crowd is very disappointed with the cans and cant's of the internal memory being able to sync up directly with the SD cards; maybe my total "newby'ness", but I am thrilled with my product... I purchased the 2GB ZEN, and then scored the Bluetooth headphones that were discounted over a hundred bux over the Father's Day weekend.
    I'm a disabled, over the hill gentleman, and wanted a media player to keep me company on the powerwheelchair rides into town and what not... Yes... Being able to drag or send **bleep** from internal memory to the SD card, vice versa would be a treat, but things are workable as is.
    My ONLY problem thus far has been in trying to re-sync a couple of Audio Boox, FROM my ZEN internal flash memory, to my PC (that part looks as if it works out OK, and I can get them imported back into the AudioManager library) and then try to get them to hook in error free to one of the SD cards (it's here where the difficulty occurs)... I'd much prefer to have just music on the internal flash, and then carry all my extras on my cards; but I was all excited and stuff... Tried to take baby bites and little steps, but just couldn't resist digg!
    There is simply no way that I can figure out how to get the Audio Books to stick without error on any of my cards. And therefore I am reluctant to delete them off the ZEN itself.
    Ahhhwell... Li've and learn!
    Overall.. I am tickled green with the Creative ZEN, the Earphones and the investment into the extra 0 gigs of card memory.
    Well... That was a bit longer than I wished, but for ME, it was a pretty **bleep** short write!
    Good night all.. Sleep well...

    OH.. And my daughters little PNY 28mb card works with the unit too
    Admin notes: I moved the message from the locked sticky (undergoing cleanup now) so that others can help.

    Even if you could get protected content on the SD cards, AFAIK the Zen won't support bookmarks for files on the SD cards. That would make listening to lectures or audio books on the SD card would be very inconvenient?(who wants to have to remember where their place is, then fast forward to it each time they restart listening to it's). I am curious. Do you have any problems getting the audiobook files to play in the correct order, or do the tags sort them properly? It seems like many series of lectures or other series of audiofiles sort properly on the pc or in mp3 players that use the folder/filename system, but might not sort properly based on the ID3 tags?
