Protocol after system shut down - power failure

Hi experts,
I'm new at basis and I was wondering if you have any tips on what to do if there's a power failure? What should I check, are there any transactions to verify the system is integer and all transactions have been rolled back?

Power failure is a dangerous situation.
Your database may become inconsistent.
A quick checklist would be:
-Try starting only the database first, don't start sap, database most probably wont and might need some sort of recovery ( i am quoting oracle database here) do the required recovery or troubleshooting and make sure that database is not giving out any errors in its log files. if database starts up correctly all is fine.
-if the database starts, start sap, sap normally should start up correctly.
-if SAP starts properly, check system log SM21
-check SM13 check for any failed updates - if there have been failed ones, one needs to carefully analyse them.
-check if the system log is not showing any logs
-check ST22 is not giving any wierd dumps (if it is investigate why)
Can't think of much right now.. maybe you can wait and see what others have to say.

USB external HD does not turn off after system shut down

This is not a new issue in Leopard. I had this issue also in Tiger but I never bothered to ask whether there may be a solution to this issue.
I have firewire as well as USB HDs attached to my iMac. If I put my computer to sleep both the firewire and the USB HDs turn themselves off. The HDs come back to live after I reawake the Mac. But if I turn off the iMac then only the firewire HDs turn themselves off. The USB HDs remain turned on.
Is there a setting somewhere that can be changed so that the USB external HDs turn themselves off after system shut down?

Since the issue is not a Leopard issue, and maybe not even a Tiger issue, you might check with the drive manufacturer for some assistance.
Does the drive turn off when you eject it and then pull out the USB plug? That's important.

Why do I get "The system has recovered from a serious error" after system shut down

Every time when start/restarting the computer using the attached .vi I get a window with "The system has recovered from a serious error." Although this does not seems to have any effect on application and I am able to use the test equipment but could someone explain why this is happening?

Hi Fardm,
how should we answer that question when you don't attach the VI, but only a picture hidden in some proprietary file format?
Attach the VI!
You also have some Rube-Goldberg in your code:
IF not zero THEN use ErrorCode ELSE use zero
Why not just connect errorcode directly with BundleByName? You don't need the Select function here...

SYstem Shuts Down Every Time if on AC Power.

1. This does not happen if running on battery.
2. Lenovo suggested test seem to prove it is not a hardware problem --doesn't happen if on "F1" key.
3. Replaced power cord -no change
4. They think it could be defective Windows 7 Upgrade. Did not point to Virus. I have Virus protection.
5. Does not happen when booting up. Only when startup is complete and W7 Start screed is up.
6. Started happening a couple of months ago, at random, once a day. Now it goes black in just minutes, overtime.
7 W7 was installed bout six months ago. Was fine.
8 Can't reload W7 because Microsoft requires you to be on AC power to load.
9. If attempt to load from CD, system shuts down --goes black, complete shut down.

Hi, ttranfagli
I have a few questions so I can get a better grip on the issue at hand:
What is your machine type and model? Also, what do you mean by "if on "F1" key"? Also, have you tried this in Safe Mode? Finally, does this occur if the machine is running off of AC power only with the battery removed?
Thanks in advance,
Adam

Why does my system hang on a blank software update screen after I shut down?

Why does my system hang on a blank software update screen after I shut down the computer?
This only happened after my computer attempted to download security update 2013-003 version 1.
I have an iMac with a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running on OSX 10.7.5.
I repaired all disk permission, and then verified and fixed the disk.
My hardware diagnostics program gave all systems a green light.
After all this, the system still hangs.
This must be an operating system glitch.
How do I fix it?
If you tell me to reload the operating system, then I'll have to go retro with Snow Leopard.
All subsequent updates were purchased from Apple on the Internet and downloaded.

Not so. You use the recovery mode to reinstall Lion. Details in Recovery and About OS X Recovery. Also, see Computers using Internet Recovery.

MacBook Pro freezes after clicking 'Shut Down' and won't remember 9600M GT

After choosing 'Shut Down' from the Apple menu my MacBook Pro (1998, 5,1 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) freezes and the Grey Screen of Death appears.
Strangely this only happens when I'm using the lower-power GeForce 9400M graphics card. When I use the high-performance NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics card my MacBook Pro wil shut down normally.
Ever since upgrading my system to Mac OS X 10.6.3 this problem occurs. But since then also other problems arose. After installing Safari 5 my MacBook didn't boot, and I had to zap the PRAM to get the system booting again. Since then my system won't save the 9600M GT setting in the Energy Saving panel. I can logout from the 9600M and login to the 9600M GT, but after a reboot it switches back to the 9600M card.
Today I did a combo update to Mac OS X 10.6.4, but all the problems still occur. Also I did maintenance tasks with 'Cocktail' and 'Maintenance', but that didn't help either.
Also sometimes after choosing the GeForce 9600M GT graphics card, OS X logs out and hangs in the blue screen instead of displaying the login screen.
I hope someone can help me out with this!

Unfortunately the problem reoccured, alltought less. The last weeks my MacBook froze two times.
The report I send to Apple contains the following:
... Sat Jul 17 12:42:23 2010
panic(cpu 1 caller 0x124fc5b): "AGC GPU REGISTER RESTORE FAILED : rdar://7254528"@/SourceCache/AppleGraphicsControl/AppleGraphicsControl-2.8.63/k ext/AGCPowerManagement.cpp:849
Backtrace (CPU 1), Frame : Return Address (4 potential args on stack)...
Anyone a clue how to solve this problem? Thanks!

Auto System Shut Down

Currently I am trying to put together a new computer. I have all the parts needed, and they are compatible. I put everything together, double/tripled checked all connections. when i try to turn it on, it runs for about 10 seconds, then just shuts off. ;( I'm running it bare, i have no monitor, keyboard, mouse, and sound connected. I just turned it on barebone.
I am using:
K7N2 Delta-L Motherboard
AMD 2800 Benton
2x 512 kingston Ram sticks
80gb 7200rpm hard drive
floppy
DVD drive
CD/RW drive
350watt enermax power supply
I have tried taking one of the ram sticks out and turning it on, it didn't work.
I tired getting a new 350watt antec power supply, it didn't work.
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?!?! ?( ;(
Once again my problem is that the system shuts down automaticly after I turn it on. It will run for about 10 seconds then... it's down again.
PLEASE!! SOMEONE HELP!! ;(

CMOS is the chip that stores ya bios info like date, time and cpu settings etc.
It's the 3 pins bellow the small round silver battery.
On my K7N2-L (non Delta) it's jumper JBAT1
It as 2 settings 1 = keep data (normal use)
2 = clear data
look at following X = jumper position o = empty pin
Keep data
O
x
x
Clear data
x
x
o
after clearing cmos (do it with power off on PC or u will fry it) u will then need to setup bios again.
If this still wont boot have a look at jumpers J10 & J11
J10 sets cpu fsb mode
J11 sets cpu fsb frequency.
Look in ya manual it's in there.
Try to get PC to post by setting J11 to
J11 o J10 o
x o J10 not bridged = 100mhz
x
J11 safe mode cpu fsb 100mhz.
It will post then. Just the cpu will be set to a lower speed then it is.
If it posts go in to bios and hit set bios default then bridge J10 making it 133/166 mhz and J11 x
x
o this sets J11 to default 133
reboot and it should post good cpu speed.
Hope u understand all this junk i just wrote

T430s on AC -- Shutdown restarts, not shut down/power off

I have a T430s running Win7 Home Pro.
On battery power, when I click Start, Shutdown the system shuts down completely.
On AC power, with or without the battery installed, when I click Start, Shutdown the system goes through the usual shut down stuff but then the backlit keyboard, ThinkLight and speaker/mic mute buttons momentarily light up and the system restarts itself. This is different from a standard Restart in that the lights come on during the start sequence.
I've checked the obvious (at least to me) stuff, e.g.
1. Power Button Action in Taskbar Properties, Start Menu is set to Shutdown.
2. Control Panel, Power options, Change plan settings, Change Advanced settings, Power buttons and lid,...
3. Control Panel, Power options, Choose what the power buttons do...
4. I even found a registry key, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Start_PowerButtonAction
All of these are set to shut the system down. And yet the T430s restarts itself when shut down on AC power.
Any ideas on how to make Shutdown mean Shutdown and power off?

Go to Solution.

I'm afraid this is probably no help for hausman, but I did manage to fix the problem on linux... The system would reboot instead of shutdown only when on battery (and only on Linux). I use Debian with the laptop-mode-tools package, which seems to be the trigger for the problem (the actual cause being some ACPI bug in the kernel, apparently). Until that gets fixed, this was my workaround (based on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=133108). The solution is Debian-specific. It includes a solution for another problem (error messages about the intel gigabit module e1000e slowing down shutdown)
Create a file called shutdownfixes.sh in /etc/init.d, as root:
#!/bin/sh -e
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          MIHAI
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop:
# X-Stop-After:      $network
# Default-Start:
# Default-Stop:      0
# Short-Description: Things added by Mihai for shutdown.
# Description:       Things added by Mihai for shutdown.
### END INIT INFO
PATH="/sbin:/bin"
echo -n "Preparing PCI busses for shutdown..."
for i in /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/power/control; do
echo on > $i
done
echo "done."
echo -n "Removing e1000e module..."
lsmod | grep -q e1000e && rmmod e1000e
echo "done."
And make it executable:
chmod ugo+x /etc/init.d/shutdownfixes.sh
Then install it:
su
cd /etc/init.d
update-rc.d shutdownfixes.sh start 8 0 0 .
And the next shutdown on battery should be clean. Hope this helps someone.

Persistent USB Arch installation fails to boot after first shut down

Hey all,
I've recently installed Arch on a 32-GB USB flash drive (with the help of the wiki, of course). I have some experience installing arch on my computers, so the process went relatively smoothly. As some background info, I AM using UUIDs in both the bootloader and the fstab file, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Anyways, the problem itself: I have arch installed and ready to go, and it boots up fine (the first time). The thing is, after I shut down, if I try to boot the USB drive again, it simply hangs there-- no boot. What's weirder is not only does it not boot, but it also freezes the host computer at that point in the boot cycle. I mean, everything will be frozen up at the startup BIOS/splash whatever screen when the USB key is in, but once I take it out the computer will boot up regularly. It's really strange.
If I reinstall the bootloader on the USB drive then everything works again (that is, until I reboot).
Is the bootloader somehow getting corrupted while shutting down? I have tried using both GRUB and SYSLINUX (not at the same time of course) but they both behave the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time,
Ushahin

Here you need to set the right hooks if the root is on a USB drive, if you use RAID, LVM, or if /usr is on a separate partition.
Did you remember to do this?
If not, mount the partition(s) starting with the root partition first, chroot into it, edit that file and re-generate the initramfs. Then reboot with the reboot command, don't forcefully shut it down using the power button or something like that.
It could also be a BIOS issue. Restore its defaults, set "Removable Dev." first, "CD-ROM" second (if you have an optical drive), "Internal Storage" third. Then select the USB stick as the first to boot in the boot priority screen.

After having shut down after installing updates, when I restarted and tried to open a word doc, it started opening ALL the word docs and the only way I could stop it was by"force quit" . This is REALLY annoying!!

May be it is the Resume feature.

Uncheck the box next to "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
Best.

MacBook Pro 15" won't turn on after a shut down.

My MacBook Pro 15" late 2008 mavericks won't turn on after a shut down. Tried SMC reset, plugged and unplugged charger multiple times as well as installing the battery. It has started that after a while I have replaced my old battery with a new one,upgraded to Mavericks and increased my memory to 4GB. In the beginning after I would install every time the battery ,it' would turn on after 8-10 tries. Today it's completely unresponsive . Tested different outlets, with and without battery,nothing worked. I also heard that some other people have this issue once they have updated their operating system from 10.5.8 to Mavericks. Is that the problem.? Has anyone found a solution to this?

Computer starts spontaneously after I shut down

After I shut down my computer it will start back up automatically. I've already gone through tech support and updated everything as well as gone into the BIOS and made changes. After doing this twice HP sent out a tech and replaced the motherboard and power supply. A week later it has started doing the exact same thing. I bought this computer a little over two months ago. It's an Elite Desktop model. Help please.

Hey jshimp,
I'm sorry you're having this type of issue so soon.
Has the Power button been looked at or replaced? Could it be getting stuck?
I would recommend speaking with tech support again and letting them know that the motherboard and power supply have already been replaced. Ask about if any exchange options are available considering the time period.

Pre email push not syncing with Yahoo Mail or google cal after HP shut down

HI. I have a Palm Pre, and while I knew services going through Palm would be dead after the shut down, I assumed anything that was a direct email push through my cell phone carrier or WIFI would be fine.
I have however suddenly lost email sync with my Yahoo account, google calendar sync (thought the gmail sync works) and Outlook calendar sync through Chapura sync manager.
Is this a coincidence? Is there something I can do to fix this? It makes no sense that services that have nothing to do with Palm should cease to work!
Thanks!

I have set up the account using the iPhone's preset service - which I think means it's an exchange account.
This means the account was created as an IMAP account with Push access for received messages.
Surely I'm not supposed to close Mail down in order to receive push notifications? And if so, what does that means for Facebook, eBay etc?
No you are not. With an account that supports Push access for received messages with Push access enabled for the account with the account settings on the iPhone, when a new message is received at the incoming mail server the incoming mail server "pushes" the message out automatically without having to check the account for new messages - automatically or manually, which is called fetch.
Removing the Mail app from the fast app switching or recently used apps bar does not quit the app. It removes the app from the fast app switching or recently used apps bar only. The iPhone has supported multitasking since day one with included apps. Removing the Mail app, the Messages app, and the Phone app from the fast app switching/recently used app bar does not quit these apps. These apps are always running in the background so to speak in a suspended or frozen state.
Yahoo has had on and off again problems with this since day one 3&1/2 years ago.

System shut down during F110 payment run

During the F110 payment run, the PRD system shut down. There were 259 items in the proposal and according to the status 42 posting orders were generated and completed. What is the process to handle this problem? Can the payment run be re-started?
It appears that clearing documents were created for some open items before the system shut down but no checks are showing in the check register. Has this happened to anyone before and what steps should be taken to resolve this?

Is it a matter of...
1. deleting the output of the payment run,
2. deleting the proposal
3. canceling the the payment check by check using FCH8 if any occurred
4. reseting and reversing the clearing documents created using FBRA before the system shut down
5. start a new payment run
