Strange problem in XIF adapter?

Hi ,
I met a strange problem, I used to XIF adapter and IDoc to replicate BP to external system. When I update and save a BP in system, there's no IDoc generated when I check BD87. But if I use CRMXIF_PARTNER_TEST, the IDoc can be generated and sent out of system.
What's the reason?

Hi,
The issue is resolved by applying a new patch.
Regards,
Joe.

    ,Creative zen : vision M 30gb strange problem. Hi people,
    My mp3 player is 2 and a half years old. A few months ago he didn't charge anymore. ?I thought i could repair it by buying a new battery and install him in my mp3.
    Afther a few ours of ?assembling it was ready for charging a thought..
    I used the usb charger and de sync adapter...
    the morning after, my mp3 is not charged and only showing me a little red stripe in de battery (right top) i can listen music but only for a few minutes...

    Hi, I stopped using this MP3 for about 2 or so years because I bought a new one. I decided to start using it again and downloaded all the required software but as soon as I unplugged the MP3 from the power outlet, the player died. I can't get it to start up without plugging it into a power outlet. I think it has rechargable battery? Why didn't it recharge itself?
    My second enquiry is about the capacity of the player. When my player was empty, I went into "Information" and it said Total Space: 28GB and Free Space: 2GB. Why is free space only 2GB? Shouldn't it be 28 as well?
    Thanks in advance!
    The battery will only last about 3yrs regardless of use.You will need to change it. Did you scroll down to see the album,picture,track counts? Did you partition part of the dri've for removable storage.

  • Creation of IBASE with the XIF adapter

    Hello,
    I am trying to create IBASES using the XIF adapter (LSMW). The actual creation of the IBASE is no problem, but creating an IBASE with a partner + address connection seems not to work. In HELP.SAP there are examples of IBASE craetion with components but not with partner relationships.
    What do I need to fill in the E102CRMXIF_IBASE_PARTNER structure, does anyone have any documentation on this subject?
    Thanks advance!
    Arjan.

    Hi Arjan,
    Do you have any documentation of this process 'Creation of IBASE with the XIF adapter'. Please post it.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Strange problem in AFW custom module (question for gurus)

    Hi there SDN'ers,
    I have I very strange problem with an additional Adapter Module I developed.
    My scenario is: IDOC -> JDBC (Oracle)
    Well, to make a long story short, say that before the JDBC Receiver cc can write my data to the db, I have to do (inside the channel) kinda java mapping in order to produce an XML document that is acceptable for it. So in my module I manipulate the payload via DOM. No problem here.
    The strange story is: at first attempt, the Adapter fails (see error below), while after 5 minutes, when automatically trying again, it succeeds.
    Just because I put some stuff in the message audit log, what I can tell you is this weird thing:
    1. at first, no XML document exists in the payload, but in place of it there's this string:
    org.apache.crimson.tree.XmlDocument@745501c6
    which seems to be a toString() of something I don't (or don't know to) use directly
    2. at the second attempt, even in the audit log I can actually see the weel-formed XML document ready for the JDBC adapter, and in fact data are written to the db.
    ?? WHAT COULD THIS BE CAUSED BY ??
    Say also that the the other way around (JDBC->IDOC) with another very similar module works perfectly.
    Thanks.
    Alex
    <b>Delivery of the message to the application using connection AFW failed, due to: ERROR occured parsing request:com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.NestedSAXParserException: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: XMLParser: No data allowed here: (hex) 6f, 72, 67(:main:, row:1, col:3)(:main:, row=1, col=3) -> com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: XMLParser: No data allowed here: (hex) 6f, 72, 67(:main:, row:1, col:3).</b>
    P.S. -> 6f, 72, 67  is "org", that is the first three letter of the weird payload I get at first attempt.

    Ok guys, I got that workin'.
    I don't know why - and don't think I'll have the time to investigate further - but it seems the implementation of DOM Document used by XI is different the first time AFW executes my module, so here my workaround.
    if (docOut instanceof org.apache.crimson.tree.XmlDocument) {
       org.apache.crimson.tree.XmlDocument tmpDocOut = (org.apache.crimson.tree.XmlDocument)docOut;
       tmpDocOut.write(out);               
    } else {
       out.write(docOut.toString().getBytes());

  • Strange Problem with File Content Conversion (Sender)

    Hi,
    I have a strange problem. I have a sender file adapter with content conversion (csv -> xml). The adapter produces the following error during the processing...
    - 2006-02-06 16:34:00 CET: Error: Conversion of part of file content of 'OE_Extractor_47_ISW112_SC-Ireland.csv' to XML format failed around position 1202: IOException: Stream closed
    After the 4th or 5th try the adapter processes the file correctly.
    Why does it works after several tries and not at the first time? (The file is not changed during the adapter is trying to convert it)
    Thanks

  • Asynchronous XI- RFC and RFC- XI scenario - strange problem

    Hello XI-Xperts,
    I've come to really strange problem, which I would like to share with you and possibly get an explanation.
    I have an asynchronous scenario with ending XI->RFC. The RFC function in R/3 has got an optional parameter called SENDER, which when is filled, the another asynchronous RFC->XI scenario should be started. (via ABAP code <i>CALL FUNCTION 'Z_XI_RETURN' DESTINATION gc_xi_destination</i> ... etc.)
    Now, the direction XI->RFC is configured properly, but the way back NO(!). Anyway I thought that it wouldn't make me a trouble, because those two scenarios are IMHO absolutelly separated. So I'd presume that the the data should come to R/3 without problem, it should be processed, and in case the parameter SENDER is filled the R/3 would establish the RFC connection and the "return data" should go back in different XI thread.
    Well I would think like that but the situation is different:
    When the parameter SENDER is empty, all goes OK and I can see in Runtime Workbench Message Monitoring - Adapter engine - Detail - Audit log only "successes". But when SENDER is filled with a value and R/3 does CALL FUNCTION with DESTINATION to a <i>non-existing Sender agreement</i>, the R/3 apparently doesn't send a acknowledgement to Adapter Engine of first thread XI->RFC. Intstead of that there are three messages in audit log:
    <i>MP: exception caught with cause com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: error while processing message to remote system:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.client.RfcClientException: JCO.Exception while calling Z_FIDATA_INPUT in remote system (RfcClient[IS2RFC_SAP_BG]):com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (104) RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE: senderAgreement not found: lookup of binding via CPA-cache failed for AdapterType RFC, AdapterNS http://sap.com/xi/XI/System, di: com.sap.aii.af.rfc.afcommunication.RfcAFWException: error while processing message to remote system:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.client.RfcClientException: JCO.Exception w
    </i>
    Basically I understand what is happening on the background, but I really can't go over my persuation that in case of the ASYNCHRONOUS SCENARIO this should not happen.
    Or is the RFC call (I mean XI->RFC) "pseudo-synchronous" even in asynchronous scenario ? I mean that Adapter engine waits for the result of RFC everytime ... ?!
    Thank you
    Tomas

    Hello again guys,
    so I've understood it on the end. My ABAP code didn't contain EXCEPTION part of CALL FUNCTION statement.
    <i>CALL FUNCTION 'Z_XI_RETURN'
        DESTINATION gc_xi_destination
        EXPORTING
          <PARS>
        <b>EXCEPTIONS
          communication_failure = 1
          system_failure        = 2.</b></i>
    Without it the RFC short-dumped and AE correctly tried to call it 1+3 times. The thing, that the problem was connected to XI related topic, tricked me. Well it's smart, I must admit on the end
    Reward points for interest.

  • Strange problem with Dreamweaver Pop-Up menus

    Hello:
    I have encountered a very strange problem with DreamWeaver
    pop-up menus, and I was wondering if I could get some help from
    this forum, as I can't seem to find an answer anywhere else.
    The problem involves use of DreamWeaver's pop-up menu
    behavior — all works as expected, and my local preview of the
    Web page/site works fine, but when I upload the site to a server, I
    see extra question mark and "box" characters added to my drop-down
    menus. This problem is inconsistent between browsers: Sometimes I
    see it only on IE, sometimes I also see it on Firefox.
    For example, check out the following URLs:
    http://libertycreativesolutions.net/clients/cci/
    ... this implementation of drop-down menus ("Services"
    button, etc.) displays an extra "box" character for each of the
    drop-down menu items, but this only occurs in IE -- Firefox is
    fine.
    http://libertycreativesolutions.net/clients/microtek/HTML/MicroTek_home.html
    ... this implementation of drop-down menus shows an extra
    question mark above the triggering link onMouseOver for Firefox,
    and in IE, it shows this "box" character for both the triggering
    buttons and for each menu item.
    For both of these sites, the pop-up menus work without a
    problem *when I'm looking at a local version on my workstation*.
    What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is going on here????
    Any help for this problem is appreciated.
    Note that I stripped out the JavaScript code for menu
    information from the <head></head> area of each of
    these pages and placed it in a linked JavaScript document.
    HELP!

    First, you need to read this, written by the person who
    adapted that menu
    code for Macromedia -

    Then you need to know that there are MUCH better ways to do
    such things -
    Check the uberlink and MacFly tutorials at PVII -

    and the Navbar tutorial/articles at Thierry's place

  • Strange Problem - iTunes audio clicks and pops when connected to internet

    Hello,
    I have a very strange problem.
    When I go to play a song in iTunes the audio clicks and pops. Not an uncommon problem I know, but here is where things seem to get strange.
    I'm using iTunes on a laptop so I have a little switch which allows me to turn off my wireless adapter thus disconnecting me from the internet.
    If I'm connected to the internet the audio clicks and pops but if I'm disconnected the audio plays smooth as it should.
    The problem arrived out of no where i.e. no changes made to the laptop like installing drivers or programs.
    I'm completely lost at what to do and after weeks of searching online I just had to ask to see if anyone here can help me.
    Thanks

    Since writing this article I read that there is a problem with the airport update for tiger 10.4.11, which is exactly what I'm running. This is a pretty serious issue because I can't even listen to streaming music off the internet (via my firebox) without major clicks and pops. I wish I turned my updater of when things were stable

  • I am having a strange problems on the Data entry Forms

    A form that has been used since 2005 in an old version of HFM 3.51 was migrated to SYstem 11.1.2.1 in January of 2012 and has been working since then. Suddenly we start having some strange problems. Our response time has been very slow and I am wondering if there were some problems in any of the services. Maybe a service did not start properly related to the WEB forms.
    We entered a number in one of the cell to be: 348336349 as soon as we hit enter, the number was formatted to 348,336,349 but when I submit the number it came back as 3. I tried it several times and it did not work, I checked the scaling and that was set blank. One of my user tried it and it did not work. I tried looking into the Preferences and my screen froze. In the meantime one of my user was able to enter the number and was able to refresh it as well. Then she enter another number on a different cell and the same problem occurred it seemed as if it truncated all the digits except for the left most digit, we are unable to figure out how to resolve this issue. The number entereed in the cell is 826,251,218 it stores 8 and loses the rest of the 8 digits. I right click and checlk the properties and it says that it has stored 8 instead of 826,251,218.
    Following is the DEF script. Does anyone has any ideas, I am wondering if I have to restart the services..

    Hi,
    Did you find a way to solve your problem ? We have exactly the same for one application and we are using the same version of HFM : 11.1.2.1.
    This problem is only about webforms. We can correctly input data through Data Grids or Client 32.
    Thank you in advance for your answer.

  • Computer slower and a few other strange problems since upgrading to SL

    Hi all,
    About a month ago, I upgraded my mid-2009 MBP to SL. I'm now on 10.6.1. Ever since the upgrade, my computer's been somewhat slower than it was when I ran Leopard (although many people I know say their machines are faster). I did restart several times at one point, and that seemed to speed it up, although it still experiences delays I didn't have before. I've also had a bunch of strange issues:
    1) Safari is most noticeably slow, especially when using something like Top Sites on Safari 4. I alleviated this problem somewhat by setting new tabs to open a blank window rather than Top Sites, but even so, Safari is generally slower, gives me 'pinwheels' often, and also is less stable.
    2) The other day, I restarted to find that all fonts except system fonts had been mysteriously deactivated. As a designer, I rely heavily on my many fonts, which I manage using Linotype FontExplorer.
    3) Today, I opened my computer up after having it sleeping in a backpack, and it had turned off. It was not out of battery; it had just turned off for no apparent reason.
    4) Judging by Activity Monitor, RAM is being used somewhat more heavily by the system, contrary to the advertisements of a 'lighter' footprint for SL as compared to Leopard. However, according to Activity Monitor (which I check frequently), the processor does not appear to be getting taxed any more heavily than under Leopard, which makes the sluggishness more inexplicable.
    5) Yesterday, I could not get my computer to recognize my Time Machine backup disc. After restarting, it worked, but this is a pain.
    I appreciate any advice I can get. Does anyone else have similar problems or solutions? Or is the general consensus that these are SL bugs that Apple will work out by about 10.6.4 or so?
    Thanks,
    Nathan
    Message was edited by: nateeanes

    I began this thread awhile ago, but the essence of it is that I had a number of strange problems, although mostly my computer was just slower, when upgrading from Leo to SL.
    I've now wiped my HD and re-installed SL. It seems faster, although there are still a few issues:
    1) iWork (Pages, Numbers) has very weird coloring. All the text looks light blue and/or cyan, and I can't fix it.
    2) Although initially Safari worked great, lately it's been going back to its habits of being slow and showing strange things like chopping up the 'Top Sites' view, i.e. rendering it in an off way.
    3) Adobe CS3 will not install properly. I get them loaded up, but when I try to launch a program, I get an error that says "licensing for this product has stopped working". I cannot get to the 'activate' page, even though I uninstalled and deactivated CS3.
    In the interest of full disclosure, I did restore my home account after clean installing SL-- maybe I should have brought the files over folder by folder rather than bringing back my whole home folder with its settings? I wonder if I accidentally brought over Adobe's FLEXnet folder too.
    Also, does anyone know if Adobe CS3 can cause these problems with Safari and other programs? It just seems that the whole machine was slower after installing CS3, even though I wasn't running the programs.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • Submitting a form with enter key causing strange problems

    I am having a very strange problem with a webapp I am currently developing. I am using JSF 1.2 along with Facelets and RichFaces. I have coded a workflow/wizard 4-step process, and on some pages I have 4 submit buttons that all call different actions on the page. The users thought it would be useful to have the enter key submit the form, so I followed some online resources to trap a keypress using javascript, looking for the enter keycode and calling document.getElementById("elementName").click(). This works fine most of the time. Sometimes, though, it seems as if an entire new session is being created, and odd behavior starts happening. For example, my page will only include 2 of the 4 facelets on the screen -or- I will get NullPointerExceptions for objects that I know have been created in the session bean I am currently using -or- I will get a duplicate form Id after trying to re-submit the page. Could the javascript click simulation not be submitting all of the form elements or is the enter key also acting like its default action (the form submission) in addition to the "click"? I'm really at my wit's end here (plus it's nearly 3 AM, that never helps things). All of the buttons being clicked are standard h:commandButtons. There is some setTimeout logic included to disable the buttons on the page to prevent double clicks (I cannot disable them onsubmit because disabled buttons don't pass the right values, perhaps that's causing it, but if so, clicking the buttons with the mouse would cause that issue too, right?)
    I am not posting the code (yet), but if anyone wants to take a look see and see if I am doing something really abhorrently wrong, I'm more than willing to, I'm just curious if anyone has had problems regarding javascript submission of forms via the click() method. Clicking the button does not exhibit this type of behavior. Just as a side note: I am doing different things with the enter key depending if a modal window is open (the enter key closes the modal if it's up, and if not, it submits the form via a button click).
    Any help is much appreciated, if anyone has any inkling about where I should start looking for answers it would be really helpful.
    Thank you.

You need to suppress the event handling after programmatically clicking the button.

  • Performance problems with File Adapter and XI freeze

    Hi NetWeaver XI geeks,
    We are deploying a XI based product and encounter some huge performance problems. Here after the scenario and the issues:
    - NetWeaver XI 2004
    - SAP 4.6c
    - Outbound Channel
    - No mapping used and only the iDocs Adapter is involved in the pipeline processing
    - File Adapter
    - message file size < 2Ko
    We have zeroed down the problem to Idoc adapter’s performance.
    We are using a file channel and  every 15 seconds a file in a valid Idoc format is placed in a folder, Idoc adapter picks up the file from this folder and sends it  to the SAP R/3 instance.
    For few minutes (approx 5 mins) it works (the CPU usage is less then 20% even if processing time seems huge : <b>5sec/msg</b>) but after this time the application gets blocked and the CPU gets overloaded at 100% (2 processes disp_worker.exe at 50% each).
    If we inject several files in the source folder at the same time or if we decrease the time gap (from 15 seconds to 10 seconds) between creation of 2 Idoc files , the process blocks after posting  2-3 docs to SAP R/3.
    Could you point us some reasons that could provoke that behavior?
    Basically looking for some help in improving performance of the Idoc adapter.
    Thanks in advance for your help and regards,
    Adalbert

    Hi Bhavesh,
    Thanks for your suggestions. We will test...
    We wonder if the hardware is not the problem of this extremely poor performance.
    Our XI server is:
    •     Windows 2003 Server
    •     Processors: 2x3GHZ
    •     RAM: 4GB (the memory do not soak)
    The messages are well formed iDocs = single line INVOICES.
    Some posts are talking 2000 messages processed in some seconds... whereas we got 5 sec per message.
    Tnanks for your help.

  • Strange problems on Macbook Pro over past year...

    I'm about to do an erase and install after having numerous strange problems on my mid 2009 17" Macbook Pro (Leopard) over the past year, some of which I have opened threads for on these forums.
    They are listed bellow to see if anyone wants to give their final two cents as to what is causing them. They may or might not be related.
    1) I recently found the "Unknown" user classifications at second from top in the user priveleges for the main Macintosh HD folder and "Local Work" – which is my main folder for work.

    2) Last Summer I had some very strange login problems which were well documented in this very long winding thread here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2485199&tstart=0
    3) Can't access iTunes store due to this error code -54. Thread opened here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2653733&tstart=0
    4) Some proceses I've seen in the activity monitor that are possibly a little sketchy are as follows:
    - "netsessionmac1" ... Akamai playing about?
    - "TaskManagerDaemo" ... with "Root" user, ... sounds a bit vague and possible malware according to google?
    5) In Skype I get constant warnings of other computers trying to connect from Little Snitch and Virus Barrier. I get so many of them one after they other pausing skype that I can only use Skype with Little Snitch off. I can only use it late at night also as there seems to be more attempts being blocked in virus barrier during the day that I can't even get past the login:
    Some examples in screen grabs:

    http://oi55.tinypic.com/2v2w941.jpg
    And other examples of the hundreds of different IP addresses I've had asking to access computer on some obscure 4 digit port:
    http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/86.178.52.58
    http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/94.168.76.16
    http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/94.171.116.123
    http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/92.235.196.125
    http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/92.239.25.70
    http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/192.168.0.1
    http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/92.235.208.101
    http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/92.236.252.132
    http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/85.15.190.49
    ... etc
    6) I have to constantly open and close Mail after it hangs on sending. Says there is a connection problem on port 110 or whatever, but words fine as soon as I open again. This problem happens particularly when I want to send from my 2nd or 3rd POP or IMAP other than my normal one.
    7) Slow Safari/Firefox and internet.
    8) I got this strange warning about my IP changing recently when downloading a file:
    http://oi53.tinypic.com/2z4b77o.jpg
    9) My internet cuts out for large periods of time while the other PC desktop in my house works perfectly fine.
    Well, any last suggestions much appreciated. Many thanks.

    I suppose your expanding battery problem could have caused some or all of these problems, but most of them sound like software issues.
    If I were you I'd try a few things:
    1. boot from your snow leopard install disk and repair your startup disk with disk utility.
    2. repeat the repairs until no repairs are reported (the toilet paper principle).
    3. repair permissions again.
    4. if the problems persist, trash the preferences files for the misbehaving apps.
    5. if the problems persist, delete the misbehaving apps and reinstall them.
    6. it the shutoffs persist, try a PMU reset.
    7. a PRAM reset would probably be a good idea too.
    8. if none of that works, archive and reinstall.
    there is a freeware utility called applejack that will also do most of this.
    Details on all of these will be readily available with a google search.
