What to do when consolidation fails

Hi there,
I posted previously about how to try to resolve an insufficient space error when I first tried to consolidate, but couldn't find a solution unfortunately. So, now my question is what to do when consolidation is not an option. I can easily copy the music to my new hard drive and I tried consolidating afterward, but the files in iTunes still seem to point to the old location. What's the best way to manually make this change? Thanks.

I originally was directed to Adobe support and signed into and was waiting for chat. There was a message and a link directing me specifically here by Adobe support to seek answers while I waited for them. I wouldn't even have know to come here if not directed by their link. I won't do that in the future. Adobe support leaves a lot to be desired as they posted a notice that phone lines were not working properly and the chat was never answered.

What to do when load fails in PC due to bad characters?

Hi guys
i have a process chain failing every day because of some bad characters coming in the load. its a text load and due to these characters it fails every day. now what is the proper procedure in production to get this fixed? i know i can edit the bad cahracters in PSA, but i dont know what those bad characters are so what to do ?
do i go back to the source system fix it there or fix it in BI some how? can some one explain this with his experience supporting?
Thanks
Adnan

it is not your responsibility to make sure that the data input is right, but you can take the extra effort to make sure tht it is right by asking your business users and then the mm team about it, check in r3, under the mm module try mm03 or mm05 to find is tht material exists, if not there is something wrong, but from the bw perspective tht record is faulty and needs to be corrected if the number of records this happens is very less then make the changes in psa and then load from the psa, if ur using bi then u need to make ur error stanck and error dtp.
so if the number of reocrds r less then make changes with consent of ur business team but if they are huge then a routine should be written to eliminate all characteristics with #$ and so on, adding it in rskc might be a option if tht material number actually exists with $%$^*&( those symbols which is most unlikely.
check with u r business users first, contact the mm team.

What to do when activation fails and no meaningful information provided

Hello,
I just tried activating an Activity in a track. It failed and the Activation Results tab just says "Activation failed. No DC specific results available"
If I try to create another activity, it's going to consider this failed activity a predecessor and also fail because of the problem with this activity.
So my dilemna is "how do I find out what the problem was?" I seem to be stuck and NDS is not giving me any helpful information.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.
David.

Hi David,
Login to CBS and click on the buildspace. Then click on the requests link and after entering appropriate selection parameters choose the request in the table.
You will get a set of tabs from where you can get all the logs and reason why a request wasnt activated.

Fel: 0x8004010F: ZebraMapiCopySession::CreateMobileMeMessageStore: CreateMessageService failed This is what i get when i try to activate contacts in the icloud control panel and no contacs are syncronised..... iPhone 3GS, Windows 7

Fel: 0x8004010F: ZebraMapiCopySession::CreateMobileMeMessageStore: CreateMessageService failed
This is what i get when i try to activate contacts in the icloud control panel and no contacs are syncronised.....
iPhone 3GS, Windows 7

After much some reasearch I fixed this problem for my problem computer. I have two computers running Windows 7 64-bit, one working with iCloud contact/calendar sync and the other getting this "0x8004010F: ZebraMapiCopySession::CreateMobileMeMessageStore: CreateMessageService failed" error (when you look at the report data to Apple).
So when I compared my system to a working system, I found that there was a difference in the bit-named DLL used by iCloud.
Go to Outlook, File, Options, Add-Ins and in the Active Application Add-ins section highlight "iCloud Outlook Addin". You'll find the DLL name there.
On my working computer, it was APLZOD6432.DLL, while on my problem computer it was APLZOD32.DLL. Ah ha! Its trying to setup Outlook 64 with a 32-bit iCloud DLL. Or so I thought.
I looked for a 64-bit specific install for iCloud. Nope, iCloud 1.1 is for both. Hmmm...
I thought I had installed Office 2010 64-bit on my problem computer, but apparently I installed 32-bit. I was able to confirm this by going into Outook, File and Help. Under "About Microsoft Outlook" it said 32-bit. Checking the working computer, it was showing 64-bit Outlook.
So this also brought another thought to my mind. Maybe the problem is because I installed the iCloud control panel before I installed Office 2010. That said, I uninstalled iCloud Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs), and re-installed it from the manual download page http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455 and tried contact syncing again. It worked!
Then I went to check the DLL in use. It was APLZOD32.DLL. So perhaps iCloud sets up for 64-bit Office when no office is installed on Windows 7 64-bit and breaks when you install 32-bit. Or there is a part of iCloud install that needs to be done with Office installed. Either way, I'm happy to have the issue fixed. Leaving the 32-bit Office there for now.

i just tried to install the 11.4 update (or whichever one is the most recent update as of 1/26/2014) and when it failed i tried to install manually and now whenever i try to use it, i get the following error: "The application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Right after i click ok i then get this error: "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)." I tried to uninstall Itunes and then reinstall the 11.03 version but that didnt work either. I want to know if i copy all of the music in my itunes folder to an external without consolidating can i still transfer all my itunes music from my current windows xp pc to a brand new one and have my current itunes library in my new pc? Basically i just want to know 3 things: What exactly does consolidating the itunes library do? Can i copy, paste, and transfer my itunes library to an external and from there to a new pc? Will i be able to transfer my itunes library without consolidating the files?

I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed. It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4). Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html The previous version works beautifully.

How do I deactivate online (needed when computer fails)?

Problem: When a computer fails with Adobe products installed, it is always a problem to do deactivation of license keys.
When I login to my account at adobe.com, I can see my licenses. I would have expected that I could manage my activations there. How can we get Adobe to provide license key activation management online? When computers fail, right now, there is no way to re-install Adobe software on the replacement computers because Adobe think I've used up my total activations.
Without an solution within my adobe.com account, I always wind up spending HOURS talking with Adobe people. It is a very frustrating process. Please see below the 1 hour communication I had today that got me nowhere.
Steve Amerige
Mohammed: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
Steve: The serial number in my account is xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
Mohammed: Hi Steve
Steve: Began my day with a hard-disk failure.
Mohammed: May I please have your email address registered with Adobe while I review your request?
Steve: [email protected]
Steve: It's also my AdobeID
Mohammed: thank you for your emailaddress.
Steve: I had both CS 5 Master Collection as well as Acrobat Professional (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx) installed on the computer whose hard drive failed.
Mohammed: Than you for the information.
Steve: It is possible that I installed Acrobat Pro Extended on that computer instead... I have license for that: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx.
Steve: Since the computer has crashed, I'm not sure which version of Acrobat I installed on it.
Steve: Anyway, I don't want to have any problems once I start reinstalling the Acrobat and CS 5 Master Collection software.
Mohammed: According to the End User License Agreement (EULA) law, it is recommended to install the Adobe Software on only two computers and that is mentioned on the End User License Agreement when installing the Software provided the Software is not used simultaneously.
Mohammed: However, you can install the Software on the third Computer by de-activating the Software from one of the older one and then install it on the new one so that you can avoid any error message while activating the Software.
Steve: I cannot de-activate the software... the hard drive has failed.
Mohammed: Thank you for the information. Please allow me 1-2 minutes while I check with the information.
Mohammed: I check the information. Still you have the activations left. You can activate the software.
Steve: I had the software already installed on 2 computers: my home computer and my work computer.
Mohammed: May I know what kind of errors your getting?
Steve: My work computer is the one that had the hard-disk failure. Did you verify license availability for both of the serial numbers: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (CS5 Master Collection) and Acrobat Pro (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx) and Acrobat Pro Extended (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx)?
Steve: I have not yet begun the installation... I have to finish loading the operating system first. I just remembered the last time this happened that I had problems with activation. I don't want problems this time.
Steve: Adobe should provide a website to manage activations. When computers fail, it is not possible to deactivate.
Mohammed: This seems to be more of technical issue and Since I from Customer Support, In this case I will suggest you to contact our Specialized technical support team so that they would be able to resolve the issue better. I will provide you with the contact details for technical support team, Is that okay with you?
Steve: Sure
Mohammed: You can directly contact our technical team at 800-833-6687.
Mohammed: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Steve: You can put in a suggestion that customers can manage their activations by logging into their online account. When computers fail, this would be the only way they can manage activations.
Mohammed: Thank you for waiting. One moment please.
Mohammed: Thank you.
Mohammed: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Steve: Yes, how do I submit a feature request to have online activation management?
Mohammed: In this case you can contact us back.
Steve: ??? Okay... why not now?
Mohammed: Okay in this case please contact technical team.
Steve: And, how do I do that? I just want to put in a feature request that activations should be managed online in my adobe.com account.
Mohammed: I'll be right with you.
Mohammed: Please follow the below steps to de-activate the product:
Mohammed: *Ensure that the computer on which you have the software installed is connected to the Internet.
Mohammed: *Select Deactivate from the Help menu in the product you want to deactivate.
Mohammed: *Select Deactivate Permanently.
Mohammed: Once you de-activate the product from the old system, you will not have any issue while activating the product on the new system.
Steve: You've got to be kidding me! Did you forget that my hard-drive failed? Are you a real person or some software that is trying to answer my questions?
Mohammed: I am sorry that is for future reference.
Steve: As I said before, my hard-drive failed. I cannot deactivate the license. I called the phone number you gave me. Adobe is not yet open, so at the moment I have no solution.
Steve: I will call them and see if they are able to help me. But, I want to know how I make an official request that Adobe allow for online license key management from within my adobe.com account.
Mohammed: I am sorry, please stay online while I check with the activation seat for the serial number you have provided above.
Mohammed: Steve, in case of hard drive crash or any unavoidable situations, you can contact us while activating the product so that we can make necessary changes to the license and allow you to activate the product again with out any issues.
Steve: Okay... I'll proceed. But, you still haven't answered my last question: how can I make an official request that Adobe allow for online license key management from within my adobe.com account?
Mohammed: Steve, you can leave your feedback here on chat so that I can escalate the same to higher level of support to check with this.
Mohammed: Is that fine?
Steve: Yes... please do escalate this so that the feedback can be used.
Mohammed: Thank you.
Mohammed: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Steve: No. I will call the number you gave me when they open. Until then, there is nothing for me to do except to begin the installation again, wait for the problem, and then re-start a new support session. I wish Adobe could manage activations online, but I do understand that you can't at this moment do anything about it. Have a nice day.
Mohammed: Sorry for the wait. Please do stay online.
Mohammed: Thank you.
Mohammed: May I please have your email address registered with Adobe while I review your request?
Mohammed: Thank you for contacting Adobe. We are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Goodbye!

You simply call support by phone and have them reset activations. At this point there is no way to manage that yourself.

Please do not forget to make a recent backup of your database before running this script.

This is for Exchange 2007 but can't find a place to post it. It may apply here I don't know. What exactly happens when you suspend LCR?

OK. I searched out here and found things close to what I need: how to suspend and restore LCR but I need another answer. I have gotten a new backup solution (Unitrends) and the Microsoft exchange write appears twice. I'm guessing one is for my first storage
group and one is for LCR. Anyway it appears the software is trying to use the replication writer which is causing my backups to fail. Here is my question: what EXACTLY happens when I suspend the LCR (Suspend Storage Group Copy)? Does this affect regular exchange/email
transport and receiving at all? Basically if I disable it will mail continue to flow as normal with no adverse affects? And what EXACTLY happens when I disable LCR. What if I decide I don't need it. Will disabling it affect normal email operations? Basically
will either of these options in ANY way interfere with normal mail flow? Thanks.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, suspending LCR doesn't affect the mail flow. If there is no need for LCR, you can disable LCR, and then please manually delete the LCR storage group and databaase fles.
For more information about LCR, please refer to
Local Continuous Replication.
Best regards,

Adding message to FacesContext when validation fails...

Hi
I am trying to add a validation message whenever a <af:inputText> value fails validation.
This error message should be displayed beside the inputText component.
The inputText is set to autoSubmit which will trigger the validator.
The following is what I have:
JSF page:
<af:inputText id="textUI"
label="my label"
maximumLength="200"
value=" .... "
required="true"
validator="#{backing_text.validateText}"
autoSubmit="true"/>
Backing bean:
public void validateText(FacesContext facesContext,
UIComponent uiComponent, Object value) {
FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage();
message.setSummary("error summary");
message.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(uiComponent.getId(), message);
throw new ValidatorException(message);
With the above code, when validation fails, no message is displayed beside the errorenous inputText component.
Does anyone have any idea where I could have gone wrong?
Thanks
Eric

try removing the autoSubmit="true" from the jsp.
