SAPNWRFC on Windows XP

Hello,
Could someone have the sapnwrfc working fine on Windows XP or tell me how to configure it with VC++? I am new in programming with this so i don't really understand how to deal with ...

Installing SAPNWRFC on Windows XP

Greetings,
I've being trying to install SAPNWRFC on a Windows XP machine with ActivePerl 5.8.8 without luck.
I've made some research (including this thread NW RFC SDK 7.10, sapnwrfc.dll error in Win2003, XP) but nothing seems to help.
After installing Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition (and other dependencies, including patches) I can compile the sources from SAPNWRFC without error messages, but after creating a PPM package and running a test program, I got the following error messages:
"This application has failed to start because SAPNWRFC.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem".
And another one:
"Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/SAPNW/Connection/Connection.dll' for module SAPNW::Connection: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
at C:\RFC\ajustenpl.pl line 4
Compilation failed in require at C:\RFC\ajustenpl.pl line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\RFC\ajustenpl.pl line 4."
Forcing the DLL's to be founded (copying them to system32 folder, just to test) did not help (a different error message was generated, although).
Using "nmake install" instead of creating a PPM showed no difference too.
I took a look at the VC redistribuition package, but it seems to me that it is necessary only for workstations without a development environment. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm clueless and to be honest I'm not happy at all to have all this trouble. Why isn't there a PPM package (or a precompiled tarball) of SAPNWRFC?
Thank you all.

Once I'm able to compile and get SAPNWRFC working in my box I'll be happy to generate a new PPD.
Just tell me later how should I sent it to you.

Compilation of any C/C++ code in Windows seems to be a pain. Lot's of downloads (some of them useless) and no complete documentation about it (at least in one place).
Having a working PPD is really a great help.

I didn't know about this possibility, so I didn't try it.

I installed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) (here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=200b2fd9-ae1a-4a14-984d-389c36f85647&DisplayLang=en) but it didn't help.
The funny part is that I installed the PPD of the SAPNWRFC (version 0.8) and receive the same error messages. For sure is a configuration problem in my box, not with SAPNWRFC.
I did a research on Google for some hints about defining library repositories on Windows and I got some directions here: http://llg.cubic.org/docs/vc7.html.
Defining a %LIB% system variable, with the directory C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SapGui\nwrfcsdk\lib included didn't help either. Here is the content of the variable:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\LIB;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\lib;C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SapGui\nwrfcsdk\lib "
I went throght the whole process again (compilation, creating a PPD file from version 0.11) with no luck.
Updated
I reinstalled everything in my box, just to be sure:
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
Microsoft .NET Framework SDK 2.0 - ENU
Microsoft Plataform SDK (R2) (3790.2075)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition - ENU

Writing Makefile for SAPNW::Connection
Writing Makefile for sapnwrfc
After compilation, I checked the Connection.dll file for dependencies using the Dependency Walker program. It pointed three missing DLL that could not be found:
- SAPNWRFC.dll
- LIBSAPUCUM.dll
- DWMAPI.dll
The third dll I just copied to system32 folder and it worked fine.
I tried to compile SAPNWRFC several times, forcing the location of the DLLs using the system variables LIB and LIBPATH for VC++ compiler. Same error again. I double checked with Dependency walker, no change.
I forced the test copying the missing dll to system32 and repeated the test, which results in the following errors messages:
Windows error message:
"R6034
An application has made an attemp to load the C runtime library incorrectly."
Message from the Perl program:
"Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/SAPNW/Connection/Connection.dll' for module SAPNW::Connection: load_file:A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
at C:\RFC\ajustenpl.pl line 4
Compilation failed in require at C:\ajustenpl.pl line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\RFC\ajustenpl.pl line 4."
Updated 2:
After some researching, I found some issues regarding the DWMAPI.dll installed in Windows XP when one update the Internet Explorer to version 7. I made a downgrade and start testing again. This time, DWMAPI.dll did not showed any issue in the Dependency Walker (DW).
After that, the DW program shows only dependencies about the MPR.DLL and MSJAVA.DDL. Regarding Microsoft Technet website, this is not an issue and could be ignored safely.
Anyway, the DLLs from nwrfcsdk were still missing. After adding the nwrfcsdk's path to the PATH global variable, the DW program shows no more issue.
Testing again the program, although, showed the same error that I got after copying the DLL's to system32 directory ("R6034. An application has made an attemp to load the C runtime library incorrectly.").
Searching in Technet showed that this kind of error is caused by invalid manifest files. But looking at the manifest files in the sapnwrfc, everything looks fine.
I'm clueless now. Maybe somebody have the sapnwrfc working in a Windows XP box and could give me some directions.
Thank you all.

Updating Infotype 0105 "Communication" with SAPNWRFC and PERL (long !!)

When I read the SAP-Press Book "mySAP HR: Technical Principles and Programming"
(actually it was the german edition "Technische Grundlagen und Programmierung")
I came across Chapter 9.1.3 "Using BAPIs", in which some sample code is provided
for updating the email-adress in infotype 0105 "communication".
I just thought: "OK, that could be easily (and better !) done with PERL and SAPNWRFC".
My PERL-script should do the following:
1) Read subtypes 0001 and 0010 from IT 0105 via RFC
2) Compare that data against our LDAP-Server
3) call the approbiate BAPIs for updating IT 0105 via RFC
OK, here's the ABAP-code which accomplishes task #1:
[code]
Z_EMAIL_TAB is a customer-defined structure with 3 components:
component component-type
MY_PERNR PERNR_D
MY_NICKN SYSID
MY_EMAIL COMM_ID_LONG
FUNCTION z_read_email.

IF my_date IS INITIAL.
 MOVE sy-datum TO sql_date.
ELSE.
 MOVE date TO sql_date.
ENDIF.
we use native SQL (Oracle), so we have to specify the mandant
exclude-values for PERSK refer to pensionists etc
move sy-mandt to sql_mandt.
EXEC SQL.
open dbcur for

ENDEXEC.
ENDFUNCTION.
[/code]
Using Native-SQL (we have an Oracle-Backend) saves us from looping through IT0105 twice.
(I don't like ABAP's Open-SQL, it's too limited)
Now we have a nice little table with all our employees pernr, userid and email-adress.
Let's stay on the ABAP-side and have a look at the update-function (task #3):
[code]
FUNCTION z_upd_smtp .

ENDIF.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_EMPLOYEET_ENQUEUE'

 CLEAR wa_bapireturn.

And finally the PERL-Script (task #2):

I run this script every Friday on a virtual Windows XP machine (VMWare) scheduled with the AT-Command
and it works really fine, enjoy !!!
P.S.: I hope there aren't any typos in the code, but please check
P.P.S: Thanks again to Piers for SAPNWRC, fantastic.

Hi,
I am very interested in your solution. Can you send me the scripts?

SAPNWRFC SDK 7.11 Memory Leak

I am using the SAPNWRFC library (version 711, patch 86, changelist 1160156) for a .NET-based appliaction (using C#) on a Windows x86 platform.
My problem is that there seems to be memory leak in the SAPNWRFC library when acting as a RFC Client :
Whenver a connection handle becomes invalid due to an ABAP runtime failure or an ABAP message (in these cases the SAP backend system closes the connection ) i am automatically trying to re-establish the client connection using the RfcOpenConnection() methodl. I also use RfcCloseConnection() to make sure that all allocated memory resources are released before i open a new connection via RfcOpenConnection().
But nevertheless everytime the above scenario occurs the memory usage goes up.
Does somebody know how to handle this problem respectively how to release resources allocated to a client connection properly.

I have the same problem. iTunes will eat up 80gb of space if I leave it running; eventually I have to force quit it, and slowly after that the hard drive space returns.
I wasn't sure if it was choking on the search tool, but I have a fairly large library also, so it would make sense.
Anyone got any good fixes for this?

Problem with Threads and "plase wait..."-Window

Hi everyone,
I have a problem that I'm not able to solve in any way... I have a time-consuming task (a file decryption) which I execute in a separate thread; I've used the SwingWorker class, like suggested by sun-tutorial, and it works right. The problem is that I have to wait that the decryption have finished before continuing with program-execution. Therefore I would like to display a "please wait"-window while the task runs. I've tryed all the possible ways I know but the problem is always the same: the waitWindow is displayed empty, the bounds are painted but the contents no; it's only painted when the decrypt-task has finished. Please help me, I have no more resources....
decrypt-file code:
public class DecryptFile {
private String cryptedFileNameAndPath;
private ByteArrayInputStream resultStream = null;
// need for progress
private int lengthOfTask;
private int current = -1;
private String statMessage;
public DecryptFile(String encZipFileNameAndPath) {
    cryptedFileNameAndPath = encZipFileNameAndPath;
    //Compute length of task...
    // 0 for indeterminate
    lengthOfTask = 0;
public ByteArrayInputStream getDecryptedInputStream() {
    return this.resultStream;
   * Called from ProgressBarDemo to start the task.
public void go() {
    current = -1;
    final SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker() {
      public Object construct() {
        return new ActualTask();
    worker.start();
   * Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out how much work needs
   * to be done.
public int getLengthOfTask() {
    return lengthOfTask;
   * Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out how much has been done.
public int getCurrent() {
    return current;
public void stop() {
    current = lengthOfTask;
   * Called from ProgressBarDemo to find out if the task has completed.
public boolean done() {
    if (current >= lengthOfTask)
      return true;
    else
      return false;
public String getMessage() {
    return statMessage;
   * The actual long running task. This runs in a SwingWorker thread.
class ActualTask {
    ActualTask () {
      current = -1;
      statMessage = "";
      resultStream = AIUtil.getInputStreamFromEncZip(cryptedFileNameAndPath); //here the decryption happens
      current = 0;
      statMessage = "";
}The code that calls decryption and displays waitWindow
      final WaitSplash wS = new WaitSplash("Please wait...");
      final DecryptFile cryptedTemplate = new DecryptFile (this.templateFile);
      cryptedTemplate.go();
      while (! cryptedTemplate.done()) {
        try {
          wait();
        } catch (Exception e) { }
      this.templateInputStream = cryptedTemplate.getDecryptedInputStream();
      wS.close();Thanks, thanks, thanks in advance!

Maybe you can try setting the priority of the long-running thread to be lower? so that the UI will be more responsive...

I install window 8 and Unfortunatly all drive format. And all drive mix, now i have only 1 DRIVE C. I want Bit locker Drive's data Back

Last sunday i install a window 8 and this window format my all drive & make it 1 drive (DRIVE C). Before all of this i have 5 drive in different size with 1 Bitlocker protect drive.
So i try data recovery software to recover my data. i got back all my data without that ( bitlocker ) protected drive.
so please guys help me how can i get back data from bitlocker protected drives.
please please help me.

Hi,
I sorry for your experience, but there is no way to recovery the data encryped by BitLocker untill now.
BitLocker is designed to make the encrypted drive unrecoverable without the required authentication. When in recovery mode, the user needs the recovery password or recovery key to unlock the encrypted drive. Therefore, we highly recommend
that you store the recovery information in AD DS or in another safe location.
Please refer to the link below for the statement:

HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color MFP M575 - Can't scan from Windows

We recently purchased and installed an HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color MFP M575 to be used as a networked all-in-one solution for a number of offices. I have been able to get it set up on our network and have installed the appropriate drivers on the requested Windows 7 x64 machines, and network printing works perfectly. However, it seems that despite the fancy scanning features available from the all-in-one itself (scan to email, scan to a network folder, etc.), I can't find any way to do an old-fashioned scan from Windows.
I have installed the full software solution available on the driver download page for the device, and while Windows lists the device as a "Multi Function Printer; Scanner" it does not recognize it as an actual scanner. The built-in Windows Fax and Scan simply reports that no scanners are installed. The software installation did not include the HP Solution Center (which I am used to seeing from my experience with various other HP all-in-one devices) or any equivalent for direct scanning. The driver download page for the device does not include any separate scanning drivers, so I can't be certain if they were included with the full installation or exist at all.Some of our staff also use Adobe Acrobat to scan, and even that fails to recognize the MFP as a scanner.
We'll eventually be setting up the device to scan directly to a network folder, but we need a fallback while IT takes their time getting it set up; I can't imagine that the simplest option is not available at all. I must be missing something here, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: To add, I also ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Interestingly, it reports the device as a printer and only offers to "Fix Printing" without any sort of resolution for my scanning problem.

There is no change to this problem after 6 months since the last post. Put simply, and as stated in the previous posts, there is no way to scan a document and receive the image on your PC. If you are working with graphics for any length of time or want to create an image for inclusion as an image in a document or web page using this piece of equipment will not allow you to do so.
Great shame as every other function works well - it cannot be beyond the wit of HP to include a Windows application that enables you to scan an image, receive it in the software you are using at the time (e.g. Outlook, Word, Photoshop...) and use it in your work.
HP Printers several years older than this £1000+ Enterprise printer were able to do this simple job and have done so for a great many years. Just being able to use Microsoft's Fax and Scan would be start.

Windows no longer detecting my Audigy 4?(Non-P

Hey all. I've had my Audigy 4 (non-Pro) installed and working super for about 50 days, but it started giving me a weird problem. Windows was no longer detecting the card! It was weird. DX Diag, programs like EVEREST... they all report no sound card whatsoever.
Here are my PC specs:
XP Home Edition
Albatron K8X800 Pro
S754 3200+ ClawHammer
x 2 OCZ ELPE 52 MB(2-3-2-5)
Visiontek XTASY X850XT PE
x 80 GB SATA 2 Seagate, x 80 GB Maxtor
Some other things to note:
XP has been repaired. Went from Service Pack , updates, and all the way to Service Pack 2. The card requires XP w/SP2, yes, so I have that covered.
Onboard audio is disabled through the bios. I have AC'97 integrated audio on this.
My motherboard has fi've PCI slots - although I can only access 4 because my video card is in the way, and I have tried three of those and I get the same problem.
I have tried it in other PCs in my house, double-checked each time - so it is not ESD as I originally believed. It works just fine on those PCs. It is being not located only on MY PC.
So guys and gals, I do not know what to do... I am stumped. It's the weekend so I can't call Creative support until Monday. I don't want to request an RMA through my warranty because clearly it's just a problem with my PC. What should I do?!Message Edited by Celsius on -26-2005 07:36 PM

Device not recognized in iTunes

IPod Touch/Phone 4gens No Longer Detected in WINDOWS MY COMPUTER but OK in iTunes

Since I have not found help online regarding the above situation I'm looking for help accordingly. For most folks it's iTunes not detecting i-Devices, but my situation is unique.
It started last night after I was on the phone for hours with Norton regarding error messages I was getting with Internet Security. Those issues have been resolved.
Again: iTunes detects and interacts successfully with ALL my iDevices. Windows Vista > My Computer no longer does.
Please help.

Just now I performed the following:
Turned off and turned back on AMDS(Apple Mobile Device) Service.
Disabled Norton Internet Security, and tried checking if Windows would see my devices.
For anyone who has Windows Vista you are familiar with the notes that play when you plug in a USB device: "da-dunk!" Low-High note dadunk indicates connected. High-low indicates it was disconnected.
I can tell there is a problem because right after the Low-High dadunk in Vista I get a triple Low-note Du-du-dunk.
Please help!

IPod is not recognized by Windows Vista - possible solution

During the past couple of weeks that I faced this problem I found out that a lot of people had the same question as I did.
Here is a possible solution.
I have HP Pavilion laptop with Windows Vista. After I connected my new iPod – it didn’t show up in My Computer as a new device and in Device Manager it was listed in “Other devices” with a question mark next to it. I already had iTunes installed – it didn’t show up in iTunes. On the attempt to reinstall the driver I had a message that the driver was found but an error occurred while installing it.
Here is what I did:
1. Install iTunes (it has iPod driver for Vista in it).
2. Turn on iPod and connect it to computer.
3. Restart computer with iPod turned on and connected to computer.
4. On the start up the computer will begin automatically installing the driver and the message will appear in the corner that new device is being installed.
5. After it has been installed – check My Computer – you should see it listed there.
6. Run iTunes and configure iPod.
iTunes might run a little bit slow when configuring iPod for the first time.
Good luck.

if only this fix worked for windows xp or even 2000 (at my job)
insane, but it IS a driver/usb problem i now know, at least i've gotten that far.

IPod not recognized by iTunes, Windows Vista prompts to format iPod drive

Hello,
I have IPod 80GB which I rarely use. Yesterday when I wanted to use it, I went to add a few new audios to it, connected to my computer and launched iTunes. I added the folder which contained audios to iPod, synced it and wanted to disconnect, but iTunes took excepionally long to finish.
When I clicked on 'eject' icon, I go a message saying 'some files are being accessed' or something like that. I waited for 5-10 minutes but it won't finish up, so I unplugged my iPod as I had to leave.
Later when I wanted to play, I noticed I had no audios in iPod at all.
Later when I got home, connected it again to computer, launched iTunes, but iTunes won't show iPod. A few minutes later, windows (Vista) prompted a message saying that it needs to format N: drive (which was iPod).
I tried diagnostics on tis site, restarted/reset iPod etc, but it didn't solve the problem. I removed and reinstalled iTunes as per instructions, still no use.
Then I called Apple support Canada and the guy on the phone said I need to pay to get support. He said he'd send me some documents via email which would solve the problem and hen I wouldn't have to pay. I gave him my email address, but so far I have recieved no emails from him. I have checked my spam and junk folders, just in case, but nothing there.
Anyhow, this issue came up all of a sudden, there has been no physical damage to iPod, I barely use it. maybe for few minutes here and there a month. I have had numerous problems in the past every time a new iTunes update come, it always creates problems. Last year I spent many hours after iTunes update make iPod unrecognizable so I had to go back to older version, then upgrade etc. I don't remember how I solved the issue, but it took a while and it turned out to be something of iTunes version issue.
I wonder if this is another of such issue. I hope its not a hardware issue with iPod. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks

I just got Vista too and it does recognize my ipod, but itunes can't find a lot of my songs on the computer. I tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall it thinking that it would seach for new music when I installed it again but nothing new happened when I did that.

Windows no longer boots up, paging file error

I just reinstalled windows on my mac last week because until now I had been running the old beta version of boot camp.
Just a few days ago I started getting blue screens every so often and it happened again (twice to be exact) yesterday, however one of the times it booted up and informed me I might want to change my paging file size. Not quite sure what this was I went and found the paging file option in settings and found it was clicked on a set size...so I figured I'd set it on the option that lets windows decide for me hoping this would fix the blue screen problem.
I shut down my computer later that night and now windows won't get to the desktop.
When I start it up normally it runs the system check (which I cannot skip for some reason) which gets to 84% and then says \windows\Dump3865.tmp is cross-linked on allocation unit 1731772
Above it it mentions there is an invalid size for my page file.
I tried booting it up the in safe mode multiple times and every time it generates a list in dos and stops on windows\system32\Drivers\mup.sys
I really don't want to have to reload windows again. Is there anyway to skip the system check (it says press anykey, but that has never worked for me) or any other way to get my paging files back to the way they were?
Thank you.
Oh I'm running leopard with windows XP professional on a macbook pro (last years model) if that helps in anyway.

Windows Vista No Disk Error

Greetings,
I have installed Oracle 10g Enterprise undee Windows Vista Home Edition using oracle proper installer for this OS. The installation went pretty well and so was the aftermath when I created a database and several schemas. A few days ago I have started getting a very strange and persistent error everytime Oracle's TNS and Listener are referred. The error comes fro Windows and states "Exception Processing Message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0x764F92A0 0x00000004 0x764F292A0 0x764F292A0" and the options I am prompted for are Cancell, Try Again and Continue. Whatever option I go to has to be hit over and over for about 7 times so that the message stops popping and I can continue. I say this error is reated to ORacle's TNS and Listener because when I try sqlplus /nolog I get no error, but if I enter the full connection string like slplus user/password@dbsid I get the error. The same error comes on TOAD when I first open it and it reads the TNSNAMES file to bring the TNS's within the file.
Past this error by cancellin, trying again and again or continuing, all DB functionalities are just fine, no alerts, nor critical errors... Pretty weird hmm? Does anyone have any suggestion on what the issue is and what can be done to fix it?
Appreciate all your inputs on this matter.

Actually there are no comments regarding Vista version under notes for 10.2.0.3.
If You look at certify matrix under
http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/metalink/index.html
and search by Platform, then under Vista and 10gR2 You will see following notes:
Oracle Database (EE, SE, PE and Client) are supported on these platforms:
Business edition
Enterprise Edition
Ultimate Edition
Home edition is not supported!
But what I can suggest.
Look into listner.log - are there any errors.
Try to restart listener from the command line
lsnrctl stop
lsnrctl start
Try to recreate listener service

IPod seen by windows, not by iTunes+ weird error message

I have a first generation 2GB iPod nano and i use windows xp. I can't load any music because iTunes doesn't see my iPod and an error message pops up that reads like this: "iTunes: iTunes.exe corrupt file. The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes is corrupt and unredable. Please run the checkdisk utility." I've tried everything, reinstalling iTunes, different versions, reinstalling OS, resetting iPod, even on another computer, same problem. Other than that, the iPod works normally, it's just lacking music..
and why is there no email adress from apple for service qustions? 10x

I still don't get it, how can I put it in disk mode if I CANNOT see the iPod in iTunes..?
Did you read the document i linked you to? here's another link to it:
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
whereabouts in that procedure in that document (that you get to by clicking that link) does it say that you have to connect it to iTunes to put it into disk mode?
... never mind ... i guess you've fixed it anyway ...
