SAP Archive Link (Error in opening file for writing)

I am trying to export a file to a folder in the server using a logical path.
The logical path I am using is MARKETING_FILES. I have changed its physical mapping to 'G:\Segmentation_Exports\<FILENAME>'
I am scheduling the program as a background job. But it gets canceled throwing the following error.
SAP ArchiveLink (file G:\Segmentation_Exports\100AC-$100OFF_201105300730 could not be opened for writing)
The problem occurs only in production. In development and Quality servers the program works fine.
In production, when the mapping is changed back to default i.e., <P=DIR_GLOBAL>/<FILENAME>. the program works fine.
Suggestions to solving the issue??

I would check the obvious things first ......
1) Does the directory "G:\Segmentation_Exports" exist on the Production server?
2) If so, does the SAP user have write access to the directory?
3) If so, was a directory inadvertently created with the same name as the output file?
You can also use transactions SM21 and ST22 for more information about the error.

Vi error on nfs mount; E212: Can't open file for writing

Hi all,
I've setup a umask of 0 for testing on both NFS client (Centos 5.2) and NFS server (OSX 10.5.5 server).
I can create files as one user and edit/save out as another user w/o issue when directly logged into the server via ARD.
However, when I attempt the same from an NFS mount on a client machine, even as root I get the following error using vi;
"file" E212: Can't open file for writing
Looking at the system.log file on the server, I see;
kernel[0]: add_fsevent: no name hard-link! dropping the event. (event 2 vp == 0xa5db510 (-UNKNOWN-FILE)).
This baffles me. My umask is 0 meaning files I create and attempt to edit as other users are 777, but I cannot save out edits unless I do a wq! in vi. At that point, the owner of the file changes to whomever did the vi.
This isn't just a vi issue as it happens using any editor, but I like to use vi.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Hey, beer is on me!

Hi all,
Thanks for the replies
I've narrowed it down to a Centos client issue.
Everything works fine using other Linux based OS's as clients.
Since we have such a huge investment in Centos, I must figure out a workaround. Apple support wasn't much help as usual however they were very nice.
There usual response is "its unsupported".
If Apple really wants to play in the enterprise of business space, they really need to change there philosophy. I mean telling me that I shouldn't mount home directories via NFS is completely rediculus.
What am I supposed to use then, Samba of AFP? No, I don't think so. No offense to Microsoft but why would I use a Windows based file sharing protocol to mount network shares in a Nix env???

Cannot download Flash Player 10 due to - Error opening file for writing: Flash10d.ocx

Hello all,
I am having difficulty installing Flash Player 10. I open it up, and only 10% of the download bar finishes before I get the message:
"Error opening file for writing:
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx"
I am running Windows Vista with Internet Explorer, although I'm not 100% sure which version of IE it is and haven't found out how to check. I have McAfee for security, but I have already tried disabling the Firewall with no success.
My computer is new, so there's a chance that it already has Flash Player 10 on it since it belonged to someone else before it came to me, but I don't know how to check that either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Let me clarify:
I have already tried disabling the firewall and running the installer again, but it didn't work.

Error Opening File for Writing

I have a laptop running on Windows XP and I was having a really hard time running applications on Face Book. I kept getting a message to "kill pages" or "wait" for the program to respond. Most times it would eventually automatically "kill pages" and I am unable to use those apps. It's not only on Face Book either; some other pages will not run due to this problem. So I visited the Adobe web site and it said my version was out of date and that I needed to download the latest version. I did and now I am getting the error unable to open file for writing. (C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave\SwHelper_1166636.exe) I don't know if that matters or not.
I cannot download the latest version; I don't know what other information I can give about the laptop; I am now getting the message "A plug-in (Shockwave) isn't responding". Please help if you can.
Thank you for your time and help,

That is actually Shockwave Player.
So does this FB app actually require Flash Player or Shockwave Player?
Get Flash Player from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Error opening file for writing when installing

I cannot install Flash on my Vista X64. I have tried running
the downloadable install and the online install. Any time I try to
run the install I get "error opening file for writing" when trying
to write C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\Flash9d.ocx.
I have uninstalled Fash first (it never worked anyway) and I
have rebooted. I even tried rebooting in Safe Mode but no matter
what I try, I cannot remove the existing Flash9d.ocx and installing
will not overwrite the existing file.
Even after uninstalling Flash and rebooting to safe mode,
Windows reports that flash9d.ocx is in use. So why is the file in
use after uninstalling?
Any help is appreciated.
Dale

Well, I finally figured out the problem with mine today. Of
course, I'd still like to know what nefarious purpose might be
involved with the Flash activeX file being loaded in memory even
after uninstall and reboot such that it cannot be removed from my
PC even in Safe Mode.
At least I got Flash working. I discovered that Flash was
disabled in IE.
In IE, go to Tools->Options->Programs and then Manage
Add-Ons. In my case, the ShockWave Flash Object was set to
disabled. I changed it to Enabled and I was able to install and use
Flash properly. Now I am just not sure I want to.
With the questionable practices of using the ActiveX control
even after uninstall, and making the file un-removable, along with
the extremely (in my opinion) dishonest practice of installing
Google Toolbar with Flash, I am hoping that Microsoft's Silverlight
puts Flash out of the market - and I'm no huge fan of Microsoft
either. With the new practices from Adobe, they are, in my opinion,
no better than any other spyware and malware purveyor on the market
- right up there with Napster and the dozens of follow-on products
that tricked users into installing unwanted software.

Cannot open file for writing...

I keep getting this error...
Cannot open "filename" file for writing. Please check the output filename and file permissions (if it already exists) and then try again.
Not sure what is going wrong here. I have scoured the web and can't find a solution.
Running CS5 on a Mac.
Any help is appreciated!!

This might indicate a problem in AME CS5, but we'll need more information about the clip--and possibly a copy of it--before we can make that judgment.
If the clip plays on Computer X but not on Computer Y, that could indicate that X has a certain codec that's missing on Y.
What codec is the clip? What's the extension of the filename (which equates roughly to the type of wrapper)?
What are the origins of the clip? (e.g., is it straight off of a camera? or was it encoded by another program?)
Do you have AME 5.0.1 installed on both computers?

How to avoid opening file for writing each time?

Hi!
I have real time data acquisition from a digitizer (NI PXI 5124, but it is not important for my question). Using several NI SCOPE examples I wrote a simple labview program that does the following things in a while loop: configures the digitizer, fetches data and display it in a waveform graph, calculates FFT and display it in a waveform graph, and while the “Save To TDMS File” button is pressed it writes data to a TDMS file. And it works almost fine and “almost” is because from time to time some data are not written to the file. I suppose that the reason is that I open and close the file each time. How can I open the file only once when the button “Save To TDMS File” becomes active and close it at the end, when the button “Save To TDMS File” becomes inactive? I had some ideas using local or global variables but I didn't’t manage to make them work.
Additionally, how can I make “File Path” control inactive while the “Save To TDMS File” is active?
Thanks!

You could save the button's value in a shift register. Then you can see if the value changed. If the value changed to TRUE, open the file and use a property node (Enabled) for the path control to disable it. If the value changed to FALSE, close the file and re-enable the path control. You will need to save the file reference in a shift register as well.

External Storage Repository for SAP Archive Link

We are about use SAP Archive Link as part of a document scanning process. For storage, the intention is to use EMC Centera. We are on SAP ECC 6.0.
Does anybody know if any additional software or hardware is required, or would we already be capable of retrieving images from Centera storage without anything additional.
If we start to store the scanned images on filestore, would it be possible to migrate the images to EMC Centera storage in the future without losing the link to the documents in SAP?
Many Thanks
Claire Crosby-Clarke

Hi,
>Does anybody know if any additional software or hardware is required, or would we already be capable >of retrieving images from Centera storage without anything additional.
If Centera storage is certified by SAP for Archivelink you will be OK.
In my company, we use Filenet and we had to purchase a special Archivelink connector.
We scan incoming invoices, do OCR, create automatically the SAP invoice and make the link with the scanned invoice in Filenet.
>If we start to store the scanned images on filestore, would it be possible to migrate the images to EMC >Centera storage in the future without losing the link to the documents in SAP?
I don't think so, because the link in SAP is an identifier in the storage software.

Oracle error "No message file for" after Upgrade to 10.2.0.5

After upgrade from 9.2.0.8 to 10.2.0.5 i get the following error "No message file for"
(with both Users sidadm and orasid)
Platform AIX 64 bit
The installation und Upgrade with dbua works fine.
DB and SAP runs after the Upgrade.
then I tried
SQL> select xx from v$log;
select xx from v$log
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: Message 904 not found; No message file for produstyle='font-
family:courier' ct=RDBMS,
facility=ORA; arguments: ["XX"]
The Environment is correct,
ORACLE_HOME,ORACLE_SID,PATH,LIBPATH have right Values.
I cant find any failure in Configuration or Install Logs.
So i tried the following:
Copy the complete Directorie /oracle/SID/102_64/rdbms/msg from a
10.2.0.4 Oracle Installation to the 10.2.0.5 home.
the result ist that the Messagefile could be read by Oracle an i get
the ORA-00904
Here the same Query:
SQL> select xx from v$log;
select xx from v$log
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: "XX": invalid identifier
So I do the same procedure with an other System.
I detect:
the Patch 9952230 (SAP_102051_201011/9952230) delivers
both Message Files oraus.msg and oraus.msb which caused the problem.
Has anyone the same Problem?
Are there any other Impacts with wrong Message Files .
I raised a OSS Call, but no answer till today.
best regards
Uwe

I could not find anything is sap notes, but oracle recommends to update binary file oraus.msb in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/mesg

Execute ABAP Program - Error in Open File Cust_Dim.dat

HI All,
I am trying to Implement scenario of Data Service designer for Extract SAP Application data (page no. 181 Onwards). It is for transfer data from SAP ECC - KNA1 to MSSQL table.
I have Data Service server install on my system.
I have implement all the steps. When I execute job server. I am getting error like
"Execute ABAP program <C:/Program Files/Business Objects/BusinessObjects Data Services/ZCUSTDIM_1.aba> error < Open File Error -- C:\Program Files\Business Objects\/Cust_Dim.dat>"
Does anyone knows about this? I have tried to find lot in SDN but didn't find any solution.
Thanks
Ratnakar

Hi all
I was having the exact same problem as the one explained here.
I was a little mixed up because I assigned full privileges on the destination folder to one specific account called installsap
I used this account for installing SAP BO Data Services. This account is the one configured on the Business Objects Data Services Service:
However, I kept getting the same error, as if this account had not enough privileges over the folder.
I saw that there is another Service called Server Intelligent Agent. I went through its configuration Properties by using the Central Configuration Manager, specifically within the Log On As Property and it seemed like a non specific System Account was configured there.
Then I open the services.msc (Windows application) in order to see this very same service configuration and it had NOTHING specified there, nor a Local System Account nor an specific user account.
So, I stopped the service and specified the installsap account I used for the Business Objects Data Services Service. After that I verified I could see this configuration through the Central Configuration Manager and now both tools showed the same.
Then I started the SIA Service retried again executing the ABAP Data Flow and the Error in Open File was gone.
It is how the SIA Service configuration looks like.
By the way, I am not sure if the "Job Server Service" which was cited before in this thread is the same as the Server Intelligence Agent Service I modified
Besides, although I've been using DS for quite a considerable amount of time, I have never heard of such "Job Server Service". Let me know if I am wrong.
Anyways it worked for me and I hope it works for someone else who faces the same error.
Best regards!

SAP Archiving & Document Access by Open Text installation problem

Hi!
Has anybody successfully installed the "SAP Archiving & Document Access by Open Text"?
Currently I'm trying to Install the "Runtime and Core Services 10.1.0" - a part of "Open Text Enterprise Library Services 10.1.0".
The install guides I follow: "Open Text Enterprise Library Services 10.1.0 Installation and Upgrade Guide.pdf" and "Open Text Runtime and Core Services - Installation and Upgrade Guide.pdf".
All the prerequisites a fulfilled, but the process of installation fails with message "The installation of Runtime and Core Services 10.1.0 returned an error". There is no any log or trace file created during the installation, so I cannot find out what causes the problems.
System configuration:
OS: Windows 2003 SP2 32-bit
DB: MS SQL 2005
AS: Tomcat 5.5
JAVA: JDK 1_5_0_22
Any idea?

SAP Archive Link and DMS integration configuration

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have always come across that SAP DMS is very well integrated with SAP Archive link, is that means SAP Archive link can be used as an storage location for storing original application files, in normal DMS check in original CV01N transaction.
does this Archive link appear as an option to be selected to store the original application file at CV01N Transaction, just like we get DMS_C1_ST (default SAP) or any ZDMS_SC01/02 (customised Storage catagories for checking in originals.)
another side iam also comming across SAP Archive link is an entierly different Module and involves different transactions to store documents and original.and no where related to DMS.
iam not able to draw at any conclusion weather to suggest Archive link as an storage medium for DMS check in originals, as i have not used it earlier in DMS.
Can this SAP Archive Link server be used as an sole and single original applicaion file storing system for DMS?
if so will it support all the DMS funtionalities, if not what is this fully integrated means, is it limited to make an copy / transfer of excess DMS files in SAP Archive server from existing DMS server? iam confused
please clarify.
Points awaiting for clarification.
Thanks and regards,
Shanti

Dear Hill,
Thanks for your response,
but my confusion is not yet solved.
let me put it in a better way,
1) You can store a document against a DIR with the GOS icon instead of in the originals area (called Document Archiving), i did not understand this solution please eloborate. where is this GOS icon in DIR,
2) There is one thing in menu path: Environment / check in archive.
so can we store originals in a Archive server directly by going in to the CV01N transaction.(iam not speaking about transferring Original already stored in a content server)
3) we are having a single archive server to Archive SAP data, can This SAP Archive server be used as an sole and single original file storing system for DMS Also?
4) if so will it support all the DMS funtionalities, if not what is this fully integrated means, is it limited to make an copy / transfer of excess DMS files in SAP Archive server from existing DMS server? iam confused to suggest this solution, as the client is not kneen on buying a separate server to store DMS files.
please clarify.
Thanks and regards
Shanti

System Check error : Actual open files limit:7000, needed 8000 nodes:

Hi,
System check showing up error 'Actual open files limit:7000, needed 8000 nodes:' in our BIA system.
SAP BIA Admin guide suggested open files limit should not be less than 8000. I verified at OS level
ulimit for open files (-n) is displayed as '8000' which is good.
Please suggest me how to fix this error. What if we increase ulimit value for open files at OS level?
Thanks in advance
