Typical FI MM issues

Hi All,
What are the typical issues which one faces during FI AP-MM intergartion.
Thanks
Dev

Hi Dev,
From end user point of view majority of the problem is faces in the GI/IR clearing phase which happens during the invoice verification phases. The main problem that is encountered is blocking of invoices due to tolerance limit set in the system. And if the implementation is done recently then Price difference account are not setups to accommodate the price differences due to difference in price quote for GR & IR.
Well from the implementation point of view proper account assignment needs to taken into account, using OBYC T Codes.
pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.
Regards,
Ravi

Firefox 14 and JDownloader2 Issue

Jdownloader2 and Firefox issues
Hello!
Approx. an one month ago I have faced with the strange bug or what a hack is it.
When I`m downloading with JDownloader2 without browsing with Firefox, everything is ok.
When I start the Firefox and I start to browse the internet, Firefox can not open the requsted pages.I receive "bad request", "secure connection can not be established (on NON SECURE pages!!!)", "The connection has been reseted", instead of the requested page I see the html code of the page or Firefox wants to download or open the page on the strange way. After a while Firefox can not connect nowhere.Even the Forecast toolbar and Xmarks is reporting the "Connection Lost" or "connection failed".
After a while JDownloader will "loose" the connection also. Its reporting Host problem or connection problem with every host.
After closing of JDownloader2 I close the Firefox, so no visible window of Firefox or JDownloader seen. BUT, if I trie to relunch the Firefox, it reports that Firefox is already running and it needs to be closed first!
I have investigated this with Process Explorer and I saw that Firefox is really running as Java.exe too. Moreover I could not kill any of them, because access was denied.
I have closed all ports remaining from JDownloader2 and Firefox, but they processes could not be killed anyway.
I meant time I have noticed, that Windows Explorer has slowed down (respons time was 5-10 seconds!).The CPU meter gadget showed some strange CPU usage like 09%,02%, etc
I have to restart my PC to solve this problem. Before a month ago I didn`t have these problem. Be so kind and help me to solve this problem, please!
I already did:
1.Uninstall and reinstall Java 7update 5
2.Uninstall and reinstall JDownloader 2
3.I have checked the Firewal of ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 10.1.079.000.Every instance of the Firefox, Java, Jawav and JDownloader 2 has unrestricted access to internet.They are "Super trusted" processes. There is no web scan or similar to turn off.Anyway, I didn`t change anything, before this problem occured.
Everything is happaning only with Firefox-JDownloader2 combination.
I have:
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 32 bit
Firefox 14.01
JDownloader 2
Java 7Update 5
AMD Athlon II X2 240, 2,80 Ghz
4 GB RAM

I have been suggested by JIAZ(JD support), that this is typical firewall/av issue. Kaspersky had this before and AntiMalwareBytes.If I`m correct, ZA AV engine is Kaspersky, so I investigate the problem from this site
I have uninstalled ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 10.1.079.000 and tried downloading with JD2 and browsing with Firefox 14.01. I had only few times that Firefox wants to download or open the page on the strange way, but let say, it works fine with JD2 and Java 7.5.
I decided to upgrade ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 10.1.079.000 to ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 10.2.074.000.
So far, everything is working fine! I can download with JD2 (Java 7.5) and browsing with Firefox 14.01 in the same time!
Moreover:
Version history:
ZoneAlarm version 10.2.074.000
Added: Italian language localization
ZoneAlarm Extreme Security version 10.2.073.000
Optimized: Installer, component installation order
ZoneAlarm Extreme Security version 10.2.072.000
'''Added: Firefox 14 support'''
Fixed issue: Chrome configuration fix
Fixed issue: ZA Free, messaging usability improvements
ZoneAlarm Extreme Security version 10.2.068.000
'''Added: Firefox 14 support'''
Added: Stop all internet activity option
Added: Snooze AV or Firewall for 5 mins option
Improved: Security toolbar
Improved: AV engine
Improved: Installer
Fixed issue: Riskware options usability
Fixed issue: Various other improvements and fixes
It was my fault! Sorry! Thank You for Your time and effort! Maybe this issue will help to someone else too...

Formatting issues in iBooks on the iPad

Hello,
I'm creating iBooks to publish on the iBookstore, but am having some formatting issues, or so I think at least.
I have already created one iBook (http://itunes.apple.com/gb/book/id387336687, apologies for the morbid subject matter), which I tested on my iPhone (iOS 4.0) before publishing, and everything appeared correctly. Since then I've purchased an iPad, and have noticed that some of the formatting, namely text alignment, has lost it's formatting. This formatting issue only seems to effect the text, as all images look fine.
I'm creating the iBooks in InDesign CS5 and Sigil, of which I've checked the CSS and everything seems correct.
I'm wondering whether this is an issue with the current iPad iOS, and will be fixed once iOS 4.2 is released. But if anyone can shed some light on why this might be occurring, it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

I don't think anyone knows. It could even create a new set of issues by disabling many of the hacks floating around on blogs.
But if anyone can shed some light on why this might be occurring, it would be much appreciated.
Typical iBooks CSS issues coupled with overly complex InDesign source. I took a different route and reformatted my source into super-simple XML and then generated my ePub from that. I still have all the same iBooks and CSS issues, but I am in complete control of my content.
It is always best to test books on the target device. That shouldn't be a problem now that you have an iPad. However, if you are making decent money, it might be a good idea to keep one iPad on 3.2.2 for testing. That would be the ideal. I don't see the iPhone as being a really big iBooks market. I would focus on testing on the iPad.

Also no data available in TSTL, TSKD etc..tables.
Pleas let me throw your thoughts here.
Cheers,
Bobby

Hello Bobby,
Corrections present in note:1121999 was due to program error.
Did tax customizing error still present?Did you run txn:CRM_TAXCUST_VALIDATE.
Check the error tab of the Bdoc and see can you get any hint?Also,does the BDoc contains Data or its blank?
Its very difficult to know the cause unless having look into the system and debugging the issue,

WRT54G V8 firmware upgrade, easylink issue

I was having the typical dropped connection issues that these routers seem to be famous for (WRT54G). The easylink application was installed and working. I upgraded firmware to the newly released 8.00.4. After the firmware upgrade the easylink app. still worked for all functions except for setting wireless security. For that, any changes had to be input manually through the web based utility or whatever it is called (inputting 162.198.1.1) in the adress bar.
I had a software conflict and had to uninstall the Easylink advisor software and then reinstall it. After reinstalling, the easylink will not recognize the router at all. Message states something to the effect that the router is either an old Linksys not supported by easylink or another brand. I know this has to be because the easylink has not been updated to work with the new version of the firmware.
Is there any way to get the Easylink advisor to recognize the router with the new firmware?
Or, is there a link to the previous firmware version so that I can flash the router with the previous version? Then I could get the easylink to recognize the router again and will only lose security access after I re-flash with the new firmware.
Or, is there anything else I can do to get the easylink advisor software to recognize the Router with the new Firmware installed?
Thanks

The Easy Link firmware should connects using the new firmware ....
Reset the router for few seconds ,.......After reset disable all firewall & run Easy link tool .....
It will work .....

BlackBerry Q10 'double typing issue'

Hello,
I've got a Q10 an have problems with typing on it.
For Example if I type an o the Q10 writes oo. Self procedure on a.
Is that an hardware issue?
So how can I fix it?
Sincerely
Oliver G.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Typically, such an issue indeed is hardware. Sometimes it's caused by moisture intrusion. Sometimes it is defect. Sometimes it is damaged. Unfortunately, at an internet-distance, it's really quite impossible to properly diagnose. I recommend you seek formal in-hand support from a qualified technician. If you remain in warranty, seek support via that. If you have no warranty, then find a local (to you) shop.
Good luck!

Common issue Macbook wont start up

It seems many people have experienced the same problem. Between 3 Oct and 9 Oct. I don't know it is because of the updates or a virus or smtg else. But it is very strange that several people experienced the same issue almost similar dates.
When I turned on my black macbook made in 2006 (with dual operating systems, OS X Tiger and, windows XP), I had a blinking file icon with question mark in the middle of the screen and the machine did not recognised the HDD. Eventually I had to buy a new HDD and reinstall the OS X.
While I was reading the forum, I noticed that some people experienced the same issue and decided to post a new thread for expert advice.
Thanks in advance.

Hi lvnt,
The folder with the question mark that appears when you start up the machine indicates that a valid startup/boot volume cannot be located.
In other words, when the machine starts up it goes to locate and find you're operating system but it can't... so that icon appears. Normally, you'd get an Apple logo.
This can be caused by several different factors, most commonly, is a failed/failing HD. An update would not typically cause this issue, nor would a virus. Regarding the window of this occurring (10/03/09 - 10/09/09), I think it's just circumstantial. A HD can fail at any moment in time, without reason. I'd say, between all the various sub-forums here, there isn a day that goes by where someone doesn't make a new topic or respond to an existing one with a failed/failing HD.

Typical or unique kitkat problem?

My Galaxy S4 worked flawlessly in the year or so I had it. It even worked reasonably well after the kitkat update for several weeks.
Then last weekend, the phone just started continuously rebooting. Luckily, it was under warranty, so Verizon sent me a replacement (actually, they messed up the order, and sent me 3(!) replacements).
The weird thing is that exactly the same thing happened with every replacement phone. The first one, I let in automatically install kitkat, and the phone began constantly rebooting. On the second, I went a couple of days, constantly putting off the update. The phone was working fine. I finally figured, what the heck, I have another phone sitting in a box in my office, let's try the upgrade. Same thing - constant re-booting.
Now I'm on my "last" new/refurb phone, and there's no way I'm going to install the update, no matter how insistent it gets.
But I'm wondering if there could be some issue with either the sim card or the memory card that is causing the rebooting problem. This doesn't seem to be the typical type of issue that I'm seeing being complained about.
Should I try customer support again? Ask them to replace the sim card? Should I try a new memory card?

I spent almost two hours on the phone with Tech support. New sim card didn't help. New memory card didn't help and replacement phone no help. I have been with Verizon wireless for over 20 years, this is the first problem I have had and it is a doozie. Still waiting on a repair patch.

AirPrint - Unable to AirPrint from my IPad to HP C360 after firmware update

I recently updated the HP printer from a notice on the printer screen. Since then I have not been able to print from my IPad. The IPad recognizes the printer but when I click the print button, the connect message does not appear nad nothing prints

The steps below typically resolve the issue you’re experiencing:
1. Power off the printer.
2. Completely power off the iOS devices (hold the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until a message appears asking you to "Slide to power off". Slide across that bar, and it should completely power off).
3. Power the printer back on.
4. Power the iOS devices back on.
5. Try to print again.
Those steps usually resolve the issue. If they do not, try this additional steps:
6. Power cycle your router (usually done by unplugging the router’s power cord, waiting 20 seconds, and plugging it back in).
7. Make sure that the iOS devices and the printer are all connected to the same network, then try to print.
If I have SOLVED your issue, please feel free to provide KUDOS and make sure you mark this thread as SOLUTION PROVIDED!

No Serial Number. No Re-Install. Help!

I purchased the CC bundle w/photoshop and lightroom. PS is fine. Lightroom was demanding a serial number. I spent FOUR hours with Chat...three supervisors.

Natasha: I am not troubleshooting….the assumption is that there is something wrong on my end?
Natasha: NO
Natasha: Send me a new version
Natasha: this is absolutely ridiculous

Sharath: Natasha, I do understand your concern, however, we have to remove Lightroom registrations files from your computer and re-install to fix the issue.
Natasha: You could have said that 3 hours ago.
Sharath: If I send you a new version, still the old registration files on your computer will prevent you from activation and prompt you for serial number.

Natasha: I uninstalled using a cleaner program
Natasha: Everything associated with it is gone.
Natasha: Now what
Sharath: Natasha, you need to manually remove Lightroom registration files from Application Support/Adobe folder
Natasha: Come on.
Sharath: Please oipen Application Support/Adobe folder and trash Lightroom folder under Library location
Sharath: *Please open Application Support/Adobe folder and trash Lightroom folder under Library location
Natasha: ok, everytthing is gone.
Sharath: Now again in Finder, click on Go > Go to Folder.

Sharath: Then click on Apps tab and download and install Lightroom 5

Natasha: yes
Natasha: I'm sorry. I'm done with you
Sharath: Just to confirm, are you not getting option to install Lightroom 5 using Creative Cloud ?
Natasha: Yes
Natasha: Just, type in what I'm supposed to do.
Natasha: I'll be in and out.
Natasha: This is VERY FRUSTRATING.
Sharath: Natasha, on the top right corner in Creative Cloud desktop application, click on the small gear icon and click on Preferences
Sharath: Under Accounts tab, click on Sign Out.
Sharath: Then again, click on Geat Icon and select Quit.
Sharath: *Then again, click on Gear Icon and select Quit.

Visit the Adobe Store download forum, where you can find information about typical software download issues.
so here I am again!
This was not a general question, it a specific one: AAM is not working by now.
6hrs ago MacBookPro with Lion OS: AAM stoped downloading (after installing 2 app Acrobat and PS6) other apps. I was in office (on its internet connection).
Back home (another internet connection) it was sill not working. I tried on the PC (win7 64bit) and I couldn't either install AAM (download didn't start)
Maybe the server was down.
1 hrs ago it begun working both on PC and MAC, but just the list of apps.
I couldn't download any app.
Now AAM doesn't start again (both on PC and MAC): Download Problem Error 403 Contact support

\\Error Reading Rules File when dimbuild with DLR

Hi
I am using Essbase 11.1.2.1.
I create a DLR via the web console EAS (11.1.2.1 too) : a very simple one : dimbuild DLR, ";" as separator, 2 fields (parent and child)
when i try do do a "Update Ouline..." with a very simple file (1 line : accounts;test) I have this error message "\\Error Reading Rules File"
I don't know if it can help but if I create the same DLR on another 7.1 essbase serveur through this same wec eas console (11.1.2.1), I have no problem...
another information, too : my 11.1.2.1 server has a //ESS_LOCALE English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary ESSLANG. My 7.1 server has a //ESS_LOCALE French_France.ISO-8859-15@Default ESSLANG. I really don't know if there is a link, or absolutely not.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Fanny

unable to load essmsh.exe : the error message seems to indicate that it is a problem with a path in the environment variables.
So if you say that the "Error Reading Rules File" is typically a path issue, all is probably linked!
The admin will probably correct that tomorrow : I let you know if it solves the problem!
Thanks!

Why would I get server cannot be contacted after a few hours of browsing?

I've had this problem since for several years, probably going back to v15 or so. Firefox loads and works fine for a while. Then, suddenly, for reasons I do not understand, it refuses to load any more webpages. I get a "server cannot be found" error. It's like Firefox forgets how to do an IP lookup, or gets a bogus answer that redirects to an IP that is bogus. It doesn't wait or timeout either. Once I get it once I cannot browse to any website until I close Firefox and reopen the program. Even opening new browser tabs or windows doesn't help. I have to completely exist Firefox (all instances).
I would like to note that if it is "about to break", when I click a link, bookmark, or type in the web address, when I hit enter it fails within a second or two. It doesn't sit around and timeout after 30 seconds.
I don't feel like I'm doing anything that is out of the ordinary. I have a few plugins, but this happens on multiple computers, including some that have no plugins disabled.
Here's things that may be affecting this behavior for me:
1. I use a hosts file to block a lot of spammy websites. I use a program called hostsman to handle the hosts file. I have the DNS service disabled because it cannot handle the number of entries that are in the hosts file. (been using this for more than 10 years)
2. I have disabled disk caching (I use an SSD and I have found that disk caching creates more problems for browsing than its worth). I still do the in-RAM caching, and it's not uncommon for Firefox to be using 1GB of RAM or so. I don't think I've ever seen it use more than about 1.2GB of RAM. All of the systems have massive amounts of free RAM. My main desktop has 64GB of RAM, with 75-80% of it free typically.
I've also seen this at different physical locations (home, work, other side of the country at friend's house's, etc.). This problem only affects Firefox. I haven't seen it on Chrome or Internet explorer (albeit I don't use them for hours on end). I typically have this issue a few times a day. I do work from home, and most of my work is in the browser, so it can be a bit annoying.
Right now my hardware on this machine is:
Lenovo Y55 with 16GB of RAM, i7-4700HQ and 512GB SSD. Other systems are far more powerful than this one, so I tend to think that hardware is not the problem.
Thanks.

I don't have an answer for you, but we did receive some reports of this after the release of Firefox 36. One Firefox 36 user also believed that Firefox had stopped sending DNS requests, which is a prerequisite to being able to connect to the web server. Perhaps it became more frequent for you as well, since otherwise, you probably would have posted this a few years ago...
I don't recall that we identified the source of the problem, but in many cases, it was "something" in the settings folder.
Along those lines, could you conduct this test:
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
''This is in addition to and does not replace your existing settings.''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should come with completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run) -- type or paste the following and press Enter:
firefox.exe -P
''Don't delete anything here.''
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like April7, and ignore the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
It might take a while to determine whether the new profile is works better than your old one. If you want to import your bookmarks from your regular profile during that time, here's how:
You can use the Library dialog (Ctrl+Shift+b or "Show All Bookmarks") to access the Restore feature. The trick is knowing where to find your bookmark backups in your regular profile. After clicking Choose File... you can paste this into the file name space and press Enter to drill down to your profile folders:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
The semi-randomly-named folder that has your last backup is usually the one ending with "default". Click into that one, then into the '''bookmarkbackups''' folder. Here you can pick the most recently updated file to restore.
Important: restoring a bookmark backup wipes any bookmarks currently in your active Firefox profile and replaces it with the contents of the backup file.
I think it's also reasonable to install AdBlock Plus, LastPass and SQLite Manager, as those, by themselves, are unlikely to be the source of this seemingly rare problem. But I wouldn't add all your extensions at once to the new profile.

Install of flash not working

Hi,
I am trying to use BBC i player and a few other websites that
require flash, and they all say that flash needs installing, So I
go the the adobe site and install flash and the page says installed
succesfully. However when returning to sites using flash I still
get a message telling me it is not installed. Flash doesn't seem to
appear in my programmes list either. Any Ideas??? If it is relevant
I am running windows vista premium, and the latest version of
IE.

If you’re having difficulties with the ActiveX
installer on IE these steps will typically resolve the issue:
Try this first: Instructions for uninstalling and
reinstalling the Flash Player:
1. First download the uninstaller to your desktop from here
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
2. Before running this uninstaller be sure to read the
instruction and close all running programs.
3. Open the following folder
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
4. Run the uninstaller
5. What files are left in this folder?
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
6. If there are files left, delete the Flash folder.
7. Install the Flash Player from here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
8. Test the Flash Player here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/
Also check your Internet Explorer ActiveX settings
Browser security settings should be chosen by you or by your
system administrator. For single users who do not have an
administrator, the Medium: Default Level allows you to view Flash
content. For any Custom Level, ensure that both the "Download
Signed ActiveX controls" and "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins"
options are set to "Prompt".
To change your security level:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Choose Tools > Internet Options.
3. Select the Security tab.
4. Select Custom Level.
5. Find the section "ActiveX controls and plug-ins".
6. Set ' Download Signed ActiveX Controls' to Prompt.
7. Set 'Run ActiveX Controls And Plug-ins' to Prompt.
If you are having trouble, make sure that your Internet
Explorer security level is not set to High or to a custom level
that does not allow viewing of ActiveX controls.
Finally, it may be that you have incorrect permissions in the
system registry:
To fix these Windows system registry permission conflicts you
can use Microsoft’s SubInACL tool.
Please download Microsoft’s tool to your desktop.
http://www.supportflash.com/reset_min.zip
1. Login as the User that has the incorrect permissions in
the system registry
2. unzip the “reset_minimal.cmd” and the
“subinacl.exe” to the desktop
*** Make sure both files are on the desktop
3. Close out all applications
4. Run the “reset.cmd” file
5. It will open a DOS like terminal and start running through
registry keys
6. When it is finished it will say “press any key to
continue”
7. At this point you can download the latest Flash Player
from here:

Question about Kurts comments discussing the seperation of AIA & CDP - Test Lab Guide: Deploying an AD CS Two-Tier PKI Hierarchy - Kurt L Hudson MSFT

Question about the sentence in bold. What is the meaning behind this comment?
How would you separate the role of the AIA and CDP from a CA subordinate server? I can see where I add a CES and CEP server which has those as well, but I don't completely understand his comment. Because in this second step, (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tlg-key-based-renewal.aspx)
he shows how to implement CES and CEP.
This is from the guide located at: http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831348.aspx
Step 3: Configure APP1 to distribute certificates and CRLs
In the extensions of the root CA, it was stated that the CRL from the root CA would be available via http://www.contoso.com/pki. Currently, there is not a PKI virtual directory on APP1, so one must be created.
In a production environment, you would typically separate the issuing CA role from the role of hosting the AIA and CDP.
However, this lab combines both in order to reduce the number of resources needed to complete the lab.
Thanks,
James

My concern is, they have a 2-3k base of xp systems, over this year they are migrating them to Windows 7. During this time they will also be upgrading hardware for the existing windows 7 machines. The turnover of certificates are going to be high, which
from what I've read here, it worries me.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2009/06/24/implementing-an-ocsp-responder-part-i-introducing-ocsp.aspx
The application then can go to those locations to download the CRL. There are, however, some potential issues with this scenario. CRLs over time can get rather large
depending on the number of certificates issued and revoked. If CRLs grow to a large size, and many clients have to download CRLs, this can have a negative impact on network performance. More importantly, by
default Windows clients will timeout after 15 seconds while trying to download a CRL. Additionally,
CRLs have information about every currently valid certificate that has been revoked, which is an excessive amount of data given the fact that an application may only need the revocation status for a few certificates. So,
aside from downloading the CRL, the application or the OS has to parse the CRL and find a match for the serial number of the certificate that has been revoked.
With the above limitations, which mostly revolve around scalability, it is clear that there are some drawbacks to using CRLs. Hence, the introduction of Online Certificate
Status Protocol (OCSP). OCSP reduces the overhead associated with CRLs. There are server/client components to OCSP: The OCSP responder, which is the server component, and the OCSP Client. The OCSP Responder accepts status
requests from OCSP Clients. When the OCSP Responder receives the request from the client it then needs to determine the status of the certificate using the serial number presented by the client. First the OCSP Responder determines if it has any cached responses
for the same request. If it does, it can then send that response to the client. If there is no cached response, the OCSP Responder then checks to see if it has the CRL issued by the CA cached locally on the OCSP. If it does, it can check the revocation status
locally, and send a response to the client stating whether the certificate is valid or revoked. The response is signed by the OCSP Signing Certificate that is selected during installation. If the OCSP does not have the CRL cached locally, the OCSP Responder
can retrieve the CRL from the CDP locations listed in the certificate. The OCSP Responder then can parse the CRL to determine the revocation status, and send the appropriate response to the client.
