Wanboot issues
Trying to configure wanboot, have gone over the config several times and tired various changes to no avail. Here is the error I receive, and some config is below. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
{40} ok boot net - install

Ah! found it out... it was just a wrong location where I kept the wanboot-cgi file... it should have been in the <webserver root>/cgi-bin/ folder, but I wrongly kept in the "DocumentRoot"... All good now.
The error message from the previous error o/p should have been a bit more clear though..

WANBOOT/Jet/Solaris 10 issues?
I've tried booting via wanboot pure and cdrom method with the same results. I am using JET with a Solaris 10 01/06 and 06/06 images and have the same problems. Anyone seen this or can comment?
Below is the output from the install.

Using directory alias with a wanboot installation
I have setup a Jumpstart server and have been using it for a while without issues. Now I want to incorporate wanboot into the process so that I do not need boot servers in each of our subnets. Since the jumpstart directory structure is already in place and I have apache running on the same server, I did not want to have to recreate the whole jumpstart directory structure. So I decided to create an alias in the apache configuration for the jumpstart directory:
root@swamphenxb:/usr/local/apache2/conf> cat httpd.conf
<snip>
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the target directory are treated as applications and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the
# client. The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias
# directives as to Alias.
Alias /jumpstart /export/jumpstart
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/"
</IfModule>
<IfModule cgid_module>
# ScriptSock: On threaded servers, designate the path to the UNIX
# socket used to communicate with the CGI daemon of mod_cgid.
#Scriptsock logs/cgisock
</IfModule>
# "/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
<Directory "/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None

*<Directory /export/jumpstart>*

The wanboot.conf file is located in /etc/netboot and looks with the following information:

system_conf=system.conf
I have the client configured to boot from the web server and when I attempt to boot, I get the following message:
{2} ok boot net - install
Boot device: /pci@9,700000/pci@2/network@0 File and args: - install
/pci@9,700000/pci@2/network@0: 1000 Mbps full duplex link up
HTTP: Bad Response: 500 Internal Server Error (boot_file missing)
Boot load failed
I am able to see a listing of all the directories and files including the boot_file in my browser. The permissions for the /etc/netboot directory is:
root@swamphenxb:/etc/netboot> ls -al
total 26
drwx------ 3 daemon other 512 Nov 20 13:09 .

It looks like maybe wanboot does not like the alias I am using, but I want to verify that before I move on to plan B. Thanks.

Size limit for flar file with Sol 10 WANBOOT
There seems to be some kind of a size limit for flash archive files used by wanboot. When I try to wanboot jumpstart, I get the following:
Processing profile
- Opening Flash archive
ERROR: HTTP server returned an invalid archive file size: <-1256985017> bytes
ERROR: Invalid HTTP headers were returned from the server
ERROR: Flash installation failed
Solaris installation program exited.
The flash archive is about 3GB. I'm doing the WANBOOT using the "boot cdrom" work-around, because the V100 I'm jumpstarting doesn't support the newer OBP parameters.
If create a new smaller flash archive like so:
mv sol10.flar sol10.flar.old
dd if=sol10.flar.old of=sol10.flar bs=1024K count=1024
cutting the flar down to 1GB. Then I do the wanboot. I don't get the error, and the jumpstart proceeds. Of course it would eventually have a problem when the cpio file reached premature end.
So is there a prescribed limit to flars with WANBOOT. I'm assuming it's 2GB, but if so, why?
No I haven't tried creating a compressed flar: that's next.
Thanks,

Any help would be much appreciated.hi. i spent a long time on this issue...and got it working reliably for more than 10 gb flars.
there are two issues- 1) apache must be 64 bit capable, and 2) you need the latest wanboot miniroot, for solaris 9 and one for solaris 10. i worked for a different division of a major car company based in stuttgart (take a guess) than i do now, and we eventually received the support we needed from sun, through the early release program. i do not know any details about if, how, or when those miniroots are otherwise available. at some point, i can only assume they will be generally available to all, if not already.
if someone knows more about this availability issue, i would also be interested in this issue.
thanks, dls -

When that happens do you see a tiny green light next to the WAN port socket on the Time Capsule?
You might try reversing that Ethernet cable end-for-end or trying a different cable. -
New DVR Issues (First Run, Channel Switching, etc.)
I've spent the last 30 minutes trying to find answers through the search with no luck, so sorry if I missed something.
I recently switched to FIOS from RCN cable in New York. I've gone through trying to setup my DVR and am running into issues and was hoping for some answers.
1. I setup two programs to record at 8PM, I was watching another channel at the time and only half paying attention. Around 8:02 I noticed a message had popped up asking if I would like to switch channels to start recording. I was expecting it to force it to switch like my old DVR, but in this case it didn't switch and I missed the first two minutes of one of the shows. I typically leave my DVR on all day and just turn off the TV, this dual show handling will cause issues with that if I forget to turn off the DVR. Is there a setting I can change that will force the DVR to choose one of the recording channels?
2. I setup all my recordings for "First Run" because I only want to see the new episodes. One show I setup was The Daily Show on comedy central, which is shown weeknights at 11pm and repeated 3-4 times throughout the day. My scheduled recordings is showing all these as planned recordings even though only the 11pm show is really "new". Most of the shows I've setup are once a week so they aren't a problem, but this seems like it will quickly fill my DVR. Any fixes?
Thanks for the help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.I came from RCN about a year ago. Fios is different in several ways, not all of them desirable. Here are several ways to get--and fix--unwanted recordings from a series recording setup.
Some general principles.
Saving changes. When you originally create a series with options, or if you go back to edit the options for an existing series, You MUST save the Series Options changes. Pretty much everywhere else in the user interface, when you change an option, the change takes effect immediately--but not in Series Options. Look at the Series Options window. Look at the far right side. There is a vertical "Save" bar, which you must navigate to and click OK on to actually save your changes. Exiting the Series Options window without having first saved your changes loses all your attempted changes--immediately.
Default Series Options. This is accessed from [Menu]--DVR--Settings--Default Series Options. This will bring up the series options that will automatically be applied to the creation of a NEW series. The options for every previously created series will not be affected by a subsequent modification of the Default Series Options. You should set these options to the way you would like them to be for the majority of series recordings that you are likely to create. Be sure to SAVE your changes. This is what you will get when you select "Create Series Recording" from the Guide. When creating a new series recording where you think that you may want options different from the default, select "Create Series with Options" instead. Series Options can always be changed for any individual series set up later--but not for all series at once.
Non-series recordings. With Fios you have no directly available options for these. With RCN and most other DVRs, you can change the start and end times for individual episodes, including individual episodes that are also in a series. With Fios, your workarounds are to create a series with options for a single program, then delete the series later; change the series options if the program is already in a series, then undo the changes you made to the series options later; or schedule recordings of the preceding and/or following shows as needed.
And now, to the unwanted repeats.
First, make sure your series options for the specific series in question--and not just the series default options--include "First Run Only". If not, fix that and SAVE. Then check you results by viewing the current options using the Series Manager app under the DVR menu.
Second, and most annoying, the Guide can have repeat programs on your channel tagged as "New". It happens. Set the series option "Air Time" to "Selected Time". To make this work correctly, you must have set up the original series recording after selecting the program in the Guide at the exact time of a first run showing (11pm, in your case), and not on a repeat entry in the Guide. Then, even it The Daily Show is tagged as New for repeat showings, these will be ignored.
Third, another channel may air reruns of the program in your series recording, and the first showing of a rerun episode on the other channel may be tagged as "New". These can be ignored in your series if you set the series option "Channel" to "Selected Channel". Related to this, if there is both an SD and HD channel broadcasting you series program, you will record them both if the series option "Duplicates" is set to "Yes". However, when the Channel option is set to "Selected Channel", the Duplicates Option is always effectively "No", regardless of what shows up on the options screen.
As for you missing two minutes, I have sereral instances in which two programs start recording at the same time. To the best of my recollection, whenever the warning message has appeared, ignoring it has not caused a loss of recording time. You might have an older software version. Newest is v.1.8. Look at Menu--Settings--System Info. Or, I might not have noticed the loss of minutes. I regularly see up to a minute of previous programming at the start of a recording, or a few missing seconds at the beginning or end of a recording. There are a lot of possibilities for that, but the DVR clock being incorrect is not one of them. With RCN, the DVR clocks occasionally drifted off by as much as a minute and a half. -
Pension issue Mid Month Leaving
Dear All,
As per rule sustem should deduct mid month joining/leaving/absences or transfer scenarios, the Pension/PF Basis will be correspondingly prorated. But our system is not doing this. In RT table i have found 3FC Pension Basis for Er c 01/2010 0.00 6,500.00.
Employee leaving date is 14.04.2010. system is picking pension amout as 541. Last year it was coming right.
Please suggest.
AshwaniDear Jayanti,
We required prorata basis pension in case of left employees and system is not doing this. This is the issue.

Open PO Analysis - BW report issue
Hello Friends
I constructed a query in BW in order to show Open Purchase Orders. We have custom DSO populated with standard
datasource 2lis_02_itm (Purcahse Order Item). In this DSO we mapped the field ELIKZ to the infoobject 0COMP_DEL
(Delivery completed).
We loaded the data from ECC system for all POs and found the following issue for Stock Transport Purchase orders (DocType = UB).
We have a PO with 4 line items. For line items 10 and 20, Goods issued, Goods received and both the flags "Delivery
complete" and "Final delivery" checked. For line items 30 and 40, only delivery indicator note is issued for zero
quantity and Delivery complete flag is checked (Final delivery flag is not checked) in ECC system. For this PO, the
delivery completion indicator is not properly updated in the DSO for line items 30 and 40. The data looks like the
following:
DOC_NUM DOC_ITEM DOCTYPE COMP_DEL
650000001 10 UB X
650000001 20 UB X
650000001 30 UB
650000001 40 UB
When we run the Open PO analysis report on BW side this PO is appearing in the report but the same is closed in ECC
system.
Any help is appreciated in this regard.
Thanks and Regards
sampathHi Priya and Reddy
Thanks for your response.
Yes the indicator is checked in EKPO table for items 30 and 40 and delta is running regularly for more than 1 year and no issues with other POs. This is happening only for few POs of type Stock Transport (UB).
I already checked the changes in ME23N and the Delivery completed indicator was changed and it reflected in EKPO table. Further, i checked the PSA records for this PO and i am getting the records with the Delivery completed flag but when i update from PSA to DSO the delivery completed indicator is not updating properly.
In PSA, for item 30 i have the following entries. Record number 42 is capturing the value X for ELIKZ but after that i am getting two more records 43 and 44 with process key 10 and without X for ELIKZ. I think this is causing the problem.
Record No. Doc.No. Item Processkey Rocancel Elikz
41 6500000001 30 11 X ---
42 6500000001 30 11 --- X
43 6500000001 30 10 X ---
44 6500000001 30 10 --- ---
(Here --- means blank)

HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M602 driver issue
Hello,
I've got issue with 600-series printers. We use the latest UPD drivrer ver. 61.175.1.18849 and print from XenApp 6.5. The error occurs every time when users try to print jpg files from XenApp session. It only happens with 600 series printers and UPD.
Also I've tried to assign native 600-series driver ver. 6.3.9600.16384 and it works good. But with that driver system says that it's color printer and it brokes our printing reports. These reports are very important for us. So we can't use printer and that driver as well.
Printer installed on Windows Server 2012 R2. All clients are Windows 7 x64. XenApp Servers are Server 2008R2.
Is it possible to get fixed UPD driver or correct native driver for Server 2012 R2?
Regards,
AnatolyI am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at Printers - LaserJet.

Windows 7 displays error message when exiting +cursor issue
Two issues here. CS5 Phoshop on Wind 7 64 bit.
Physical processor count: 8
Processor speed: 3073 MHz
Built-in memory: 12279 MB
Free memory: 9577 MB
Memory available to Photoshop: 10934 MB
Memory used by Photoshop: 80 %
Image tile size: 128K
First issue is since the latest automatic Adobe update (why fix what isn't broken?) Every time I now exit Photoshop I get the message "Adobe QT Server has stoped working" and occasionally it happens when I exit bridge. Indesign is also behaving badly. I can no longer start a previous document from file manager without ID crashing out.
The other is the cursors in Clone and erase lose their edge (become invisable) for no reason - well not quite. Noise Ninja crashed Photoshop when I tried to use it. I reinstalled it and all is well. The cursor issue seems to be intermittant but came back (for no reason) after I reinstalled NN. I can't seem to change the cursor, no matter what I do. The problem is now seriously affecting how I work. Almost enough to go back to Win XP which ran CS5 Photoshop flawlessly.
Any help will be gratefully accepted.

The recent problem is the entire outline of the cursor (including the crosshair in the middle) was missing at any size of cursor. All I had was exactly what I'd get if I used a real spraygun.
Well, that issue is simply a matter of hitting the Caps Lock key. When Caps Lock is on, you'll see the cursor outline, and when it is off you'll see a crosshair. That's a feature, not a bug.
Glad to hear the 11.1 drivers are out. I will download them and try them now myself.
Regarding "Adobe QT" crashing... QT brings to mind QuickTime, though that is Apple, not Adobe. Do you have Apple QuickTime installed?
Regarding memory usage, with 12 GB of installed RAM, you should be able to set Photoshop to use 90% or more in Edit - Preferences - Performance.

Issue in Creation of Periodicals for Contracts in CRM7.0
Hello,
I have a requirement to create Contracts in CRM7.0 system.
And I am doing this using the BAPI *BAPI_BUSPROCESSND_CREATEMULTI*
Good part is Contract Order gets created, but onlywith Header Details.
The issues i am facing --
1. I need to know what kind/type of data must be passed to the interface parameters, the F1 Help/Documentation is vague.
2. I am passing data in the INPUT FIELDS structure with the Object ID, Handle Number, Reference GUID and Fieldname,
here what does 'Logical Key' field indicate? What should be passed here.
What does 'REFERENCE KIND' field indicate, i have been passng 'A' for everything (to be frank i dont know whats its significance is!!).
3. With so much, My Order gets created but with less than half details, i.e. the Objects not getting created are - Partner, Product, terms/appointments, Status, LongTexts......
Any help/inputs would be appreciated.
Hope my problem is stated clearly ...
--Regards
DedeepyaHi Anu,
i found my solution by debugging with existing data or while creating it in CRMD_ORDER.
Ensure that you are passing a correct entry in INPUT_FIELDS structure.
As i haven't worked on rebates i woudlnt be able to help you, I suggest you debug to arrive at a solution.
You can preset your break-points at :-
1. FM - CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN
2. CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN_MULTI_OW -- Debug through the complete FM.
3. CRM_ORDER_PREPARE_MULTI_OW -- The data is set in this function module.

Issue in Creation of new Value Field in CO-PA
Hi,
I have a query in CO-PA Value Field Linking.
In my Development Client,
1. Created a New Value Field (No Transport Request Generated)
2. Linked to the above to new Conditon type created in SD. (Tranport request was generated) i.e. in Flow of Actual Values->Transfer of Billing Documents->Assign Value Fields
However then i try creating a new Value Field in my Production Client it throws a message 'You have no authorization to change Fields".
Is this an issue with authorization or i need to transport the Value field too from Development to Production client.
Please Advise.
Thanks in Advance,
SafiThanks Phaneendra for the response.
The creation of Value field did not create any tranportation request. Will this too be transported if i transport the Operating Concern.
Please Advise.
Thanks,

Dear All
I have some is my current assignment-Customer is buying some material say "A" want "B,C" as exclusive free goods
is it possible to give two free at a time in same order ?
I only know one exlusive free good can be give to one material with combination of customer ( Customer/Material)
Looking for some inputs regarding the issue.
Can you plz suggest me if there is any possiblities for BOM?
Many Thanks
Rakesh NaveenDear Rakesh,
Be informed that free goods is not currently supported in combination with material structures (e.g. product selection,
bills of material, variants with BOM explosion), see note 796926.
Determination of free goods is performed in include FV45PF0N_NATRAB_SELECTION and the check is hardcoded. You will have to modify the program to get that functionality, but be carfull that any modification won't be supported by SAP, see note 170183.
I hope it can help you.
