SPAM crash: Table SI_WD_FIRST_MAIN_SCREEN could not be activated

Hi!
I am facing with the problem of hanging SPAM patch (SAPKB13 - 16).
The patch will be stopped in the phase IMPORT_PROPER (step: DDIC activation) after few seconds.
The error is:
SPAM
IMPORT_PROPER
Reason: TP_STEP_FAILURE
Return-code: 0008
Error message: OCS package SAPKB70013, step "A", return code 0008
I looked into SPAM - Goto - Import Logs - Queue and found the following:
ABAP Dictinary Activaiton endes with return code 8.
Table SI_WD_FIRST_MAIN_SCREEN could not be activated
Could you please tell me how to proceed?
(e.g. activate the table by my own)
I would like to implement SAP note 1113868, but it is not possible due to the error that OCS/SPAM locked.
Are there any possibilities to solve this problem?
(e.g. to change manually necessary objects)
Thank you very much!
regards
Holger

Hi Holger / Thom,
You seem to be having a tramendous amount of problems since several weeks already with your upgrade...
Have you considered contacting SAP for some help with all these problems?
Of course, if these problems are "self-inflicted" then SAP might want to bill you for it, but I have not seen any mention of custom modifications or the likes in your many posts on the topic here at SDN, so possibly your SAP account manager and SAP Support should step in to solve the overall problem.
If I am missing the point here, then sorry for that - but the recurring flavour of the questions seems strange.
Can you clarify?
Cheers,
Julius

    Hi!
    I am facing with the problem of hanging SPAM patch (SAPKB13 - 16).
    The patch will be stopped in the phase IMPORT_PROPER (step: DDIC activation) after few seconds.
    The error is:
    SPAM
    IMPORT_PROPER
    Reason: TP_STEP_FAILURE
    Return-code: 0008
    Error message: OCS package SAPKB70013, step "A", return code 0008
    I looked into SPAM - Goto - Import Logs - Queue and found the following:
    ABAP Dictinary Activaiton endes with return code 8.
    Table SI_WD_FIRST_MAIN_SCREEN could not be activated
    The problem in DDIC ACTIVATION is due to fact that I created a
    queue including SAPKB70013 and SAPKB70014 and spam reached MAIN
    IMPORT phase. SI_WD_FIRST_MAIN_SCREEN is deleted in sp14
    Then, the queue was reset (I suppose) and only SAPKB70013 was imported
    manually in the system.
    Question:
    Is it possible to create the table SI_WD_FIRST_MAIN_SCREEN by my own in tcode SE11?
    Thank you very much!
    Thom

    Thom-
    What is your SAP rel and your kerenl level
    most of the times for this error it might be an issue with the  lib_dbsl patch to my knowledge
    and creation of Table SI_WD_FIRST_MAIN_SCREEN  will not be possible as you said if it deleted b'coz it is a predefined table.

    Hi ,
    Thanks for the inputs given for this thread .
    while searching for simillar kind of posting , i found your conatct .
    we are facing simillar kind of issue in our Upgrade project from 4.6C to ECC6.0
    1EEDO536 "Technical Settings" "USRBF" could not be activated  .
    When i check Error log it is showing  : Table USRBF for logging is too long (key<250, data division<16.000 necessary)
    Message no. DT201
    Diagnosis
    The log flag is set in the technical settings for this table. The logs are standardly written to the database table DBTABPRT. The key area or the data area of the table to be logged, however, is longer than the fields of table DBTABPRT reserved for it. The table therefore cannot be logged.
    Procedure
    Remove the log flag from the technical settings and then activate the table again.
    As part if upgrade we need to carry forward  this Log check .
    Please suggest me what can be done to fix this issue .
    thanks

  • Table could not be activated - Error while transport

    Hi all,
    I've created a table in one server under a transport request. Co-file and data-file are download for the same and imported into another system (development server). Import is successful and working fine. But, while transporting the table to quality server following error is coming even table is activated.
    Table TABNAME could not be activated (E- Nametab for table TABNAME cannot be generated )
    Kindly let me know what might be the problem.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Siva,
    First check Transport request for extended check and consistency check. You will get errors. If there is no errors then goto se14
    database utility and give the table name and click edit and select the adjust database table . Your problem will be solved.
    Let me know if you have any further errors while doing this.
    thank you

  • Error Table /CRYSTAL/PERS_VALUE could not be activated

    Dear expert,
    I'm upgrading BOE to SP3 and then after that SP3 FP3.3.
    I got a problem when upgrading to SP3, it's on BW side when importing Transport Request file:
    Personalization transport (K900693.r21 and R900693.r21)
    The error log is:
    Following objects not activated/deleted or activated/deleted w. warning:
    Table /CRYSTAL/PERS_VALUE could not be activated
    (E- Nametab for table /CRYSTAL/PERS_VALUE cannot be generated )
    Table /CRYSTAL/PERS_VAR could not be activated
    (E- Nametab for table /CRYSTAL/PERS_VAR cannot be generated )
    I've read SDN thread:
    Re: SAP IK Transports Error
    SAP IK Transports Error
    And OSS note:
    1484086 - TABLE /CRYSTAL/PERS_ could not be activated when importing transports for SAP Integration XI 3.1 SP3
    Roland Hoeller says the problem happens when you apply the SP3 transports on a SAP system that never had any SAP IK transport files installed.
    But actually all the BW transport files in the initial installation of BOE XI 3.1 was imported successfully. Including the problematic transport file K900580.R21 and R900580.R21
    It was imported with status 'Warning' below:
    R21K900580        JJI            Business Objects Personalization objects
    And the error log is:
    Following objects not activated/deleted or activated/deleted w. warning:
    Table /CRYSTAL/PERS_VALUE was activated with warnings
    (W- Enhancement category for include or subtype missing )
    Table /CRYSTAL/PERS_VAR was activated with warnings
    (W- Enhancement category for include or subtype missing )
    Then that note advises to use BW transport file from:
    a. previous version (eg. FP2.6) then re-import the problematic SP3 BW transport file
    b. use BW transport file from later Fix Pack (eg. FP3.1, FP3.2, or FP3.3)
    Since i'm upgrading to FP3.3, i go with option (b).
    But i notice that in the installation files of FP3.3 there's no file K900693.r21 and R900693.r21 in the extracted folder 'transport'.
    The installation file i used is:
    BOBJINTGRSAP03P_3-10007514.EXE
    I even checked (FP3.2 and 3.1) but that file is not there too.
    BOBJINTGRSAP03P_2-10007514.EXE
    BOBJINTGRSAP03P_1-10007514.EXE
    How to get the correct K900693.r21 and R900693.r21 files?
    Thank you very much.
    Kind regards,
    aswin

    Dear Stratos,
    I found out the answer for this.
    Apparently in new FP release (eg. FP3.3), SAP replaced that TR:
    R21K900693        JJI            Business Objects Personalization objects
    with:
    R21K900705        JJI            Business Objects Personalization objects
    That's why it no longer exists.
    Kind regards,
    aswin

    Those are the instructions for your computer's iTunes (i.e. using the Store menu at the top of your computer's iTunes and selecting 'View My Account' on it). If you are doing it on your iPad then are you following the instructions for iOS devices :
    To unhide your purchases
    Depending on the content type, open the App Store, iBooks, or iTunes Store on your device.

  • IPhone 4S could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable

    If you got the "scary" message that you could not activate iPhone 4S neither by Wi-Fi or iTunes, I want to share my experience:
    I decided to reset my iPhone 4S, and used "Erase All Content and Settings" under the reset menu (Settings/General/Reset), I was hoping that the erasing just does that, but for me the nightmare started!
    I was taken to the activation screens, and begun with the welcome one, choose language, choose location services (later on it also disappears) and selecting Wi-Fi and/or iTunes for activation.
    I chose a Wi-Fi network the process started, and gave me a message that it will take about three minutes to activate iPhone, few minutes later a screen with this message appears: "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
    Then, I decided to try the activation using iTunes…
    Using iTunes, after few minutes, it shows the following message: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
    I tried several times in both ways, trying 4 different Wi-Fi networks and 3 different computers in the whole process, and I was going desperate! I started to find out some info about this trouble over the Internet, and guess what? I was not alone! But I did not find any answer or solution either!
    Finally, I joined Apple Support Communities, and started searching with no good luck at all, until I found (many hours later)  this old (2009) solution:
    +Do a DFU recovery:+
    +1. Open iTunes.+
    +2. Connect the iPhone+
    +3 Press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple icon appears (ignore the red slider if it shows).+
    +4. Continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes sees your phone in recovery mode.+
    +5. Follow the prompts to restore the iPhone.+
    (THANKS A LOT!!! modular747 and Easily Easy, you saved me!!!)
    Then I suggest everyone to use this, of course it will erase everything, but you may be able to recover your data from your last backup, or you can also choose to configure iPhone as a new cell phone.
    The process took me about 92 minutes, but it was worth it, now I own an unlocked iPhone 4S (it was an AT&T when I purchased from Apple Store in November) and is working perfectly!
    Hope it is useful for all of you facing this trouble!
    Good luck and enjoy your iPhone then!

    I tried the process and was happy to note that there was some process that I managed to start because the process did start ...
    However to my disappointment,  landed back at the same status which says
    We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
    Please try again later, or contact customer care
    I was using a GEVEY sim unlock with iOS 4.1 since (almost) last 2 yrs now in India on Vodafone. But as Apple designed it, there were several apps including Whatsapp, Facebook, Gmail and LinkedIn that stopped functioning due to the iOS updates and the subsequent (I guess 'mandatory' App updates). Finally yesterday I thought of updating to the iOS 6. As soon as I did that, I have been left with no choice but to see the above message.
    The process by jhidrowoh starts corectly but iTunes doesnt give you the option of restore only ... it is forcefully clubbed with update and the button that is displayed in the dialog box that appears on pressing 'Restore' in teh recovery mode, shows 'Restore and Update' and as soon as the iPhone is restored, it automatically updates the iOS as well to iOS 6 and hence leaves you hanging in the stale situation.
    Guys ... Need the data desperately ... Can anybody please help???

  • TS1814 I am trying to update my Iphone 3 and when i get to the activation step after a few minutes it shows a message that says " Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try conenecting your iPhone to i

    I am trying to update my Iphone 3 and when i get to the activation step after a few minutes it shows a message that says " Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try conenecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes.
    If the problem persist, contact apple support at apple.com/support
    I been trying for a few times now and I keep getting the same message. How can i fix it? now my phone doesnt work.

    These are the steps mentioned in the article iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
    Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

    After some looking through SDN and OSS messages, I found a relevant posting (DDIC ACTIVATION ERROR) but no solution. I have submitted a message to SAP but since I'm under a time limit, I need to use all available resources to resolve.
    I suspect these issues are a result of TDMS. Client 200 is the target of a TDMS copy. We have dropped this client for now just to see if that resolves the issue, but it did not as we expected. I suspect there is something in the TDMS controller that we need to do to "release" this system as a target but we're just now evaluating TDMS and are not experts. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    To resolve the mentioned problem please follow the instructions
    given in following SAP note :
    1020887 - Generated views in receiver system not deleted correctly.
    Follow the instructions as mentioned in the note properly.
    Thanks,

    Generally, that means the phone has been jailbroken (hacked). You can try restoring it as new using iTunes. Beyond that, there's really nothing we can advise as jailbroken phones can't be supported on these forums.

  • I have changed my password and still can't get homesharing to work. Get the message "Homesharing could not be activated because the account or password was incorrect. It's what I have used to sign in here!

    I  have changed my password and still can't get home sharing to work. Get the message "Home sharing could not be activated because the account or password was incorrect." It's what I have used to sign in here! Any help much appreciated.

    So I reset my Apple ID password. Which then stopped my MobileMe account from working. Hang on - these were 2 different accounts a while ago, with different passwords!!!
    So I have logged back in to MobileMe with my AppleID, and that's working again. After a short wait I can now create Home Sharing again.
    Folks, I think we have just had our Apple IDs merged with our MobileMe accounts!! With no consultation or warning.
    My guess is that this is the most seamless way for Apple to do it, as the vast majority of people use only one email address and one password for everything. Only those of us who had the same email adress but different a different passwords for MobileMe and Apple ID will have noticed. Annoying for us few, but a clever strategy on Apple's part, becasue we have been driven to fix the issue ourselves by chaning the password, and in doing so we have realised that our mobileme account is now the same thing as our Apple ID.

  • My iPhone says 'your iPhone could not be activated...'

    I previosly had some issues with my iphone because i got it second hand from my auntie in america and when i restored it, it got locked to my mum took it to get unlocked and im pretty sure they did it unoficialy. So a few days ago i tried to upgrade it and now my iPhone says 'your iPhone could not be activated because the server is currently unavailible...' and when i go on itunes it says i have no sim card in it but i do (an o2 but then i got an AT&T one and it still says that) what should i do? (and please dont say buy a new one or there's nothing you can do)

    Your phone is locked to a carrier (most likely to AT&T). Updating the iOS usually removes the unlock (hacked one) and the phone gets locked to the carrier it was originally locked to. Contact your carrier (AT&T) who is solely authorized to unlock the phone.
