Why is there an error when activating custom wsp's (timer job) via SharePointUI?

We have created a Timer Job Project.
Before packaging wsp and deploying via PowerShell:-
1. If I set scope to Web and go to site features then I hit on Activate it gives error
(sayin to enable debug for error msg in web.config).
2. Similarly, if I set scope to Site, then if I go into site collection features and activate,
it give same error.
3. If scope is set to Web Application then the feature is activated by default (under
web app features), but cannot see the job under job definitions.
4. If scope is set to farm, then (under farm features) similar to above point no. 3
There is also error when deactivating features which are already activated when a package
is deployed. for example: web applicaiton feature.
Further, I cannot see the timer job under job defn unless it is scoped to SITE..
Why is this?
I donot get the issues when activating the features via PowerShell. Why is this?

Hi Nachiket Kamat,
When you are using web scoped or site scoped features to install the timer jobs, the account that does the scheduling must have write permissions to the configuration database of the server farm, usually, the identity of the application pool that is hosting
the SharePoint site does not have permissions on the configuration database, this is the account that is used when you activate the feature through the browser interface, this may cause the feature activated failed.
Another scenario that you met when you change the feature scope to web application, job definition cannot be seen, this may be caused by the feature receiver code, like if scope to web application, then get the web application from properties.Feature.Parent
as SPWebApplication, if you change the feature scope, then this also need to change to get the proper object.

Why is there an error when connecting to the Itunes store?

When I try to connect to my Itunes, it says there is an error and to try back later? I have never had an issue with this and am unsure what to do to fix it. Also, when I try to download the newest version of Itunes it says it can't find the file with the Itunes "installationpackage.msi"? I have never had any issues connecting to my Itunes store or downloading a newer version..

Why is there no error when checkpointing after db log files are removed?

I would like to test a scenario when an application's embedded database is corrupted somehow. The simplest test I could think of was removing the database log files while the application is running. However, I can't seem to get any failure. To demonstrate, below is a code snippet that demonstrates what I am trying to do. (I am using JE 3.3.75 on Mac OS 10.5.6):
public class FileRemovalTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
// Setup the DB Environment
EnvironmentConfig ec = new EnvironmentConfig();
ec.setAllowCreate(true);
ec.setTransactional(true);
ec.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.ENV_RUN_CLEANER, "false");
ec.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.ENV_RUN_CHECKPOINTER, "false");
ec.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.CLEANER_EXPUNGE, "true");
ec.setConfigParam("java.util.logging.FileHandler.on", "true");
ec.setConfigParam("java.util.logging.level", "FINEST");
Environment env = new Environment(new File("."), ec);
// Create a database
DatabaseConfig dbConfig = new DatabaseConfig();
dbConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
dbConfig.setTransactional(true);
Database db = env.openDatabase(null, "test", dbConfig);
// Insert an entry and checkpoint the database
db.put(
null,
new DatabaseEntry("key".getBytes()),
new DatabaseEntry("value".getBytes()));
CheckpointConfig checkpointConfig = new CheckpointConfig();
checkpointConfig.setForce(true);
env.checkpoint(checkpointConfig);
// Delete the DB log files
File[] dbFiles = new File(".").listFiles(new DbFilenameFilter());
if (dbFiles != null)
for (File file : dbFiles)
file.delete();
// Add another entry and checkpoint the database again.
db.put(
null,
new DatabaseEntry("key2".getBytes()),
new DatabaseEntry("value2".getBytes())
{color:#ff0000} *// Q: Why does this 'put' succeed?*
{color}
env.checkpoint(checkpointConfig);
{color:#ff0000}*// Q: Why does this checkpoint succeed?*{color}
// Close the database and the environment
db.close();
env.close();
private static class DbFilenameFilter implements FilenameFilter
public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
return name.endsWith(".jdb");
This is what I see in the logs:

Hi,
OS X, being Unix-like, probably isn't actually deleting file 00000000.jdb since JE still has it open -- the file deletion is deferred until it is closed. JE keeps N files open, where N is configurable.

HT201210 why is there an error occurring when trying to do a software update ios6 on iphone 4s

why is there an error occurring when trying to do a software update ios6 on iphone 4s??

You might find this article helpful: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
It has the error range of 3000's which states
Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.

Error when activating DTP for InfoCube

Hi
I encountered an error '**** Error from PSA ****' 'Error when activating Data Transfer Process DTP_436DF8XYKE2Y97CUX9W7FM0JH' while trying to activate the DTP for an infocube. Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it ?
I'm on support pack 9 at this moment.
Many thanks,
Anthony

Hi Gnana
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I had already created the transformation for the bespoke cube, checked, saved and activated it without any error. Next, I created the DTP for this cube. Checked it and there wasn't any error. However when I activated it, I received that error message. I didn't get this error when I activated DTP for DSO and master data infoobject.
I have deleted and created the DTP like 5-6 times and still faced the same error message.
Prior to applying support pack 9, I didn't get this error message. Now that I did and also applied the collective OSS note 978148 (BI in SAP NetWeaver 2004s: OSS notes after SPS9), I received this error message.

Error when activating update rule

HI BI Expert,
The original transfer rule for 2LIS_11_VAITM was deleted accidently and I created new one and mapped with the existing infosource. The system always generates the following error at the time of transport to another client.
Error when activating update rule D1GOAPD9O0P9CFOY8KBSOUDFA
Activation of the update rules for ZO_SOP_1 ZT_SOP_SALO_ITM
IC=ZO_SOP_1 IS=ZT_SOP_SALO_ITM error when checking the update rules.
Would you kindly be able to suggest me what steps I need to take so as to correct this issue?
Thanks.

Hi,
When you say that update rule was accidently deleted, was that attached to transport request and transported to your QA & PRD at that time.
Because it may happen that, your old rules are still there in QA & PRD and the new rules are failing to overwrite that.
If it is the case, then you may have to open the client for QA & PRD and delete the existing update rule (doesnt sound good practice though), and then create a fresh update rule and transport.

Vikram.

Error when activating update rule after transporting to QA

Hi,
When we transport Info cubes and update rules along with Process chains. There are the following errors in Transport request(XXXXXXXX).
1. Error when activating update rule 22HSFD3ZMALU46LS0R8PRF2MW
IC=ZSDPCXY2 IS=2LIS_11_VAITM error when checking the update rules
2. Error when activating update rule 7NT4WIDPDCN2ERFDRXIGH95PM
IC=ZSDPCXY2 IS=2LIS_12_VCHDR error when checking the update rules
and etc.
Then we activated and saved all the erroneous update rules in another tranport request(YYYYYYYY) and again we transported alongwith the previous transport request(XXXXXXXX).
The last request(YYYYYYYY)was successfully tranported and still there are same errors in TR(XXXXXXXX).
Quick answers will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Next time you would have transport only (YYYYYYYY). Transport Request (XXXXXXX) was not required to be moved.
Normally Update Rule gets deactivated in QA when any changes to the CUbe/ODS are moved.
Thus either you can transport transport request for only active update rule to QA or activate your UR directly in QA system in case you have authorization to do that.

Rohini

Error when activating DataStore Object

Hello,
We have an ODS object which is in avtive stage in ECC DEV system. When
we transport it to ECC QA system it can not be activated and shows
follwoing errors :
1) Internal error occurred when writing
Message no. D0054
2) Error while saving change log for DataStore object DSO_PL
Message no. RSDODSO196
3) Error during creation of DDIC sources of DataStore Object DSO_PL
Message no. RSO435
4) Error when activating DataStore Object DSO_PL
Message no. RSO404
We also observe that even we create new ODS object in ECC QA system,
still it give the same errors while activating.
Note - ECC QA is a system copy of ECC PROD.
Please suggest.

Hi,
I believe the problem is with the Myself connection (the BW source system connection to itself) in the QA system.
Please goto RSA1, 'source systems', right click on the myself system and click on 'check', if there are errors you
maybe able to correct them by right clicking on the myself connection and click on 'restore'. If there are no
errors for the myself connection you should go to sm59 and do the connection and authorization test for the
RFC connection for the myself connection.

Error when saving custom Datasource on R/3

Hi,
I'm creating a transaction datasource using Extraction by Function Module.
I've created & activated the required extract struct (using Tcode: SE11) and the function module.
However after populating these 2 fields in the datasource screen, when i try to save the DS. I get the following error.
Error message : Units field MEINS for field GWERT of DataSource Z_PURCH_SMI_DATA is hidden
Here GWERT is the field of the structure used in DS definition and in it's property i've mentioned MARA.MEINS as reference fields (it is obligatory else error when activating structure).
The structure got activated successfully, but is giving problem in Datasource.
Fyi, similar message is appearing for other fields of the structure.
Any input would be appreciated.
Regards,
Nagendra.

Hi there,
In SE11 where you are creating View or table for Datasource, Just add MEINS field in that as new entry
and for field GWERT in reference fields table, give this MEINS field and reference table should be same table/ View name where you are adding this field.

Rajdeep Rane.

Error when activating Datasource in Source System

Dear All,
I am gettting this error when activating data source in source system(RSA5).

2) The extract structure DTTV_REC_53 of the DataSource 0TV_REC_531 is invalid
Message no. R8444
Diagnosis
An invalid extract structure has been assigned to the DataSource. An extract structure has to be active in the DDIC. It cannot be a view, since the customer is not able to add append fields for filling in the customer exits to a view.

Hi
To use this datasource, you need to install EHP3 package.

Runtime Error when activating Comp Records

When trying to activate IT 0759 records in Comp to update Basic Pay, some employees received a Runtime Error. It states, "The exception CX_HRPA_VIOLATED_POSTCONDITION was raised, but it was not caught anywhere along the call hierarchy."
It says it was not caught in 'HR_ECM_INSERT_INFOTYPE' function.
Has anyone else seen this problem? It didn't happen for all employees.
Thanks!

Hi guys,
Another reason for locked SPO's is:
The terrible attribute-change-run (ACR). When you try to activate a locked SPO, you only get a message like this:
Runtime Lock: Activity ACTIVATE_SPO, Object DATATARGET ZZZ
Unable to lock the semantically partitioned object
Error when activating Semantically Partitioned Object ZZZ
NO DTP request is running, so you can take all the day trying to find the error.
So in my case, there was an incomplete ACR (cancelled with error - red).
It's like a curse. It is not easy to find the relation between ACR an SPO activation process (SAP error message is not useful to identify the reason)
Finally, keep in mind:
Check any DTP request running or cancelled that affect your SPO model and
Check if you have an ACR (running or cancelled). This can lock your SPO object
regards!

Hi Shilpi,
there are several correction notes regarding DTP on this SP level, please try note 1151263.
Please also look into the transport log, expand it, and to see if there should be any other information.
please also try RSDG_AFTER_IMPORT_FOR_CORR according to 411574 to try re-import.
There might be some inconsistency for PSA table, please run RSAR_PSA_CLEANUP_DIRECTORY to check.
Thanks & B.R.
