Restore Item Balances

Hi Experts,
What is the functionality for in Help > Support Desk > Restore > Restore Item Balances?
I have a client who went live recently, but entered the initial quantities without cost in to SBO. Now we have to correct this. I want to clear those transactions/quantities and get all the quanitites to 0 before we do a stock take again.
Will this Restore Item Balances work for that? Do I have to get permission from SAP to use this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Marli

Yes, you have to get permission from SAP to use this function. However I don't think this will help you to solve your particular problem. That function is only useful when database got problem (inconsistency).
Thanks,

ITunes installation & Windows Scheduled Task list

I recently upgraded ITunes to the most recent version. I noticed that it wiped out my scheduled task list and replaced it with ITunes update. WHY??? Now, I have to redo my whole automated checks (virus scanning, defragmenting, etc...).
In retrospect, I did not connect the events but my scheduled task list was wipe out once before - when I installed ITunes... AGAIN, I ASK WHY?????
Sandor

that should not be happening. Apple Software Update for Windows adds a scheduled task, but it shouldn't be wiping any tasks. (i've still got my NIS 2006 weekly virus scan task, for example.)
let's try to see if we can find out what is going on.
can you recall the precise time when you did your iTunes installs? if so, let's try examining your event logs to see if we can find any error or warning events showing up in your System log at that time.
right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage". click on "Event Viewer". click on the "System" log. can you see any warning or error events that occur at the same time as your itunes installs?
if so, post back with the event ID, source and description of each of the error events.

Running shell command from Java, but from Windows Schedule Task?

I have a simple java program that will start a dos based program. The java program works great when I run it, but when I run it from the Windows Task Scheduler, the dox box that should pop up, does not. It is running because I can see it in the task manager but I can not see the command window.
Any ideas how to show the command window from a java application that is ran from Windows Task Scheduler?
Example program below. Runs fine by itself, should get a dos popup that issues the directory command, run it from the scheduler and it does not show the dos box. You can however see it in the Processes as CMD.exe.
import java.io.IOException;
public class Test {
      * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /k start dir");
          } catch (IOException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
}Now the my real program is quite a bit more complicated. It actually goes out and checks the status of an Oracle Database, if all the tablespaces are online, then the middle tier application is allowed to start. The middle tier application is started by my java application, and is comes up with a dos console which shows status and users connected to the database.

Jag,
Actually, the question of whether it works for me seems to depend on the version of the OS (or Oracle). On RedHat Linux (Oracle 8.1.6) it didn't work at all, but on Solaris (Oracle 9.0.2) it did. Here's the output from that run:
SQL> /
output of the command run:
init.ora
initDBPart9i.DBPSun01.ora
initdw.ora
lkDBPART9I
orapw
orapwDBPart9i
spfileDBPart9i.ora
Done
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
But, I did need to change a line of your code to this:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/usr/bin/ls");
your original was:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ls");
You might consider, if possible, use of some of the Java File classes instead of ls, as this might make things more predictable for you. There were some examples in oramag.com a few months ago, but they were pretty simple (you might not need them).
Hope this helps,

Any alternative beside CF Administrator scheduled task?

My scheduled tasks unable to run on CF9 but when I browse in IE it's working fine.
I believe CF9 scheduled task very sensitive on the code as I tried to remarks on some coding its working fine.
When I removed the remarks it unable to process.
Any help on this? Is there any other way to run a schedule without using CF Administrator?
Best regards,
Eric

Eric, is there any chance that the page you're running successfully in IE works because you were prompted at some point for a web server username/password? The browser will cache that for subsequent requests. If the page requires such security, you must specify it in the scheduled task definition.
There is also available logging of scheduled tasks (on the Logging Settings page in the CF Admin), which creates a new log in the \logs directory (also accessible from the CF Admin Log Files page), which may give you more insight into what's not working.
Finally, yes, you could always an alternative to CF's scheduled tasks, in the Windows scheduled task feature (available in all versions of Windows). The problem is how to execute a CFML page. There used to be a cfml.exe program in the \bin (prior to CF 6) that allowed you to execute CFML pages from the command line. That's no longer offered.
But you could call the pages using a command-line equivalent of a browser. One such solution is wget. I did a blog entry on this several years ago when I worked with BlueDragon, but the concept applies just as well to CF:
http://bluedragon.blog-city.com/executing_cfml_from_the_command_line_or_where_did_cfmlexe_ go.htm
Others may have still other suggestions.
But really, see first if you can in fact get it to work as a CF scheduled task. There's usually an explanation and a solution. Hope that helps.

I keep multiple windows opened and minimized. Sometimes when I click on the task bar to Restore, it apparently "disappears" out of view past the upper left corner. From then on, it can only be seen by using Maximize. What can be done to move it back?

I keep multiple windows opened and minimized. Sometimes when I click on the task bar to restore one, it apparently "disappears" out of view beyond the upper left corner of the screen. From then on, it can only be seen by using Maximize in the task bar. When Restore/Move/Size are clicked, the pointer just goes to the upper left corner of the screen with all combinations of clicking/dragging having no success. What causes this, and what can be done to move it back?

If a window disappear then using the system menu can make it reappear or make it possible to move that window in view. I don't know what causes it to make the window disappear in your case if it does work correctly if you start Firefox.
You can check the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page if you want to open all links in tabs in the current window.

My options are restore from Time Machine Backup (which I could do), Disk Utility to repair or erase, get help online or reinstall OS X. What should I do? The problem began when I tried to restart my computer and the only thing I saw was the grey screen, Apple logo, and the timer; the computer wouldn't restart from there.

Windows 8.1 file history - Restore to fresh install

Hi Everyone
I'm trying to understand the benefits of file history. As Windows 8.1 doesn't allow me to create a system image on a schedule anymore, I now have to resort to file history.
Hypothetical Scenario: OS hard disk catches fire, melts down and is not repairable. The good news! I enabled file history of everything I wanted to "save".
How does one import that "history" back into a fresh install on a new disk? Normally on windows 7, an image could just be written back and presto! the job is done
Does that make sense?
Any help would be appreciated. If this isn't entirely possible, I'll end up tossing my OS disk(SSD into a raid 1)

Hi,
Since Windows 8.1 took away the scheduling feature in System image backup, so as Henrik_Dahl mentioned in the previous reply, we can manually create a scheduled task.
Here're two reference links

"What happens if I restore an image and it finds that the file history on another drive is newer?"
I think either the file history is restored to a previous state or some parts of the file history is useless.

[Forum FAQ] Group Policy Preferences Scheduled Tasks Item not working when the option Run whether user is logged on or not is selected

Scenario:
We use one of the following Group Policy Preferences Scheduled Tasks item to deploy a task to clients:
Computer Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Scheduled Task (At least Windows 7)
Computer Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Immediate Task (At least Windows 7)
User Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Scheduled Task (At least Windows 7)
User Configuration -> Control Panel Settings -> Scheduled Tasks -> New -> Immediate Task (At least Windows 7)
(Note that on some platforms, "At least Windows 7" is replaced with "Windows Vista and later.")
After designating a user account to run the task, we select “Run whether user is logged on or not” option, and “The Do not store password…”
check box is automatically grayed out (See Figure 1).
Figure 1
After finishing configuring the task item, on a client, we run command
gpupdate/force to forcefully update group policy. However, on the client, when we check if the task is listed in Task Scheduler snap-in, the task is not displayed, and when we run
gpresult/h report.html to collect group policy result for troubleshooting, we see an error as similar as shown in the following figure (Figure 2).
Figure 2
Cause:
To make the scheduled task run whether the user is logged on or not, we need to store the password of the designated user account. However, for the content of the scheduled
task item is stored in Sysvol where it’s not safe to store passwords, this function has been deprecated.
Workaround:
We can run the task with system account
NT Authority\System, or we can use specific user accounts to run the task when the given user is logged on. (See Figure 3)

Hello Everyone,
Succeeded !!!!!!!
Even i was struggling with this same Problem to execute a batch via Window scheduler and set the setting to "Run whether the user is logged in or not".
I tried many time but the batch runs with " Run
whether user is logged on" and not with "Run
whether user is logged on or not".
what i discovered is that there was one mapped drive
path in my batch file which was not the complete path like y:/AR.qvw actually what i did i changed that map path to the complete path like \\servnamename\d$\AR.qvw and the batch executed successfully with the setting "Run
whether user is logged on or not"
The
conclusion is that check the dependency of the script on external resources because when you check this option "Run
whether user is logged on or not" It actually conflicts. This my discovery.
If
you have any question write me on [email protected]
Thanks

Arun

Issues with Backup-GPO Scheduled Task as a non-admin account

I'm having an issue trying to get a daily backup of domain GPO's from a non-administrative account. I'm using Powershell 2.0, the Backup-GPO cmdlet runs fine as a standard user, but when I run the same cmdlet with the same user, but with a scheduled task,
the backup does not produce valid output. The command I run is:
[batch file called by scheduled task]
powershell.exe d:\loj\psps.ps1
[psps.ps1]
import-module grouppolicy
backup-gpo -all -path d:\loj
The specific problem is, all other files created by the backup are created successfully except the 'gpreport.xml' file found directly under the folder identified by the backup ID. All of the subdirectories under DomainSysvol\GPO contain xml files with the
appropriate data, and the Backup.xml and bkupInfo.xml files are also created normally. The manifest.xml file is also created normally in the root directory.
The gpreport.xml file however is malformed. It contains only two bytes of data, FF FE.
The reason this is a problem is that the xml in the gpreport file can be used to restore whether the GPO is 'enforced' and also contains link data. Using this when restoring the GPO's makes the process a lot less painful.
Running the batch file while logged in interactively as the user removes the problem, without making them an administrator.
I've been using a test domain to investigate this, I tried adding the user in question to every local group except administrators, gave it full control to the destination folder for backups, the powershell executable, batch and ps1 files. Resultant set of
policy access has been granted (rsop.msc run-as the user tested fine). The scheduled task stores credentials (needs to run when the user is not already logged in) and runs with the highest privileges.
The only possibly related error I could find in the logs was this:
This error goes away if enough group memberships are added to the account or alternatively if this string is added to the security descriptor for the LanManServer service: (A;;GA;;;S-1-5-21-1191697313-1384311512-914143962-35706), which just adds
generic all to this account by referencing the SID. However, despite the fact that the error is no longer raised, the issue with the gpreport.xml file remains.
Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening? At this point my best guess is something UAC related, since the gpreport.xml file is created like normal if the user is made an administrator on the local machine (I'd rather not do that in production).

Hi Fergubru,
Thanks for your posting.
To troubleshoot Task scheduled that a task ran, but the program that should have been executed did not run correctly.
As AZ said above, some programs require elevated privileges to run correctly. If a task is running a program that requires elevated privileges, ensure that the task runs with the highest privileges. You can set a task to run with the highest privileges
by changing the task's security options on the General tab of the Task Properties dialog box.
If a task program does not run correctly, check the history of the task for errors. For more information, see
View Task Properties and History.
For the Event ID 4656, this is an Audit log, This event will be Audit Success or Audit Failure depending on whether the user account under which the account is running has the requested permissions or not.
For more detailed information about Event ID 4656, please refer to this article:

How to include Windows environment variables in e-mail action scheduled task

Hello Support,
Is it possible to include Windows environment variables such as %username% or %computername% in the subject line or body of the "Send e-mail" action item of the Task Scheduler? For example, I would like when I setup a scheduled
task to perform a certain task and send an e-mail message, the email should include either the user name or computer name in the subject line and body of the e-mail. Is that possible?
Thanks

Hi,
You can create a new Scheduled Task preference item to solve your requirement.

I created a scheduled task and that does not provide what I need. The scheduled task will simple send an mail, but I want to know from which machine or user triggered the email. I also tried adding the batch file to the scheduled
task and that did not work even though the scheduled task has the following settings.
User Configuration >> Prefence >> Control Panel Settings >> Scheduled Tasks
When running the task, use the following user account
NT AUTHORITY\System
Run whether user is logged on or not
Run with highest privileges HighestAvailable
Configure for: Windows 7
I also tried with Computer Configurations

DB2 Migration from Windows - Linux supported with Backup/Restore ?

Hi folks,
we have to do a DB2 V9.1 migration from Windows -> Linux. Both servers are Intel based. Is it official supported by SAP to do this without SAP migration tools? E.g. with a backup/restore or redirected restore? I heard about it, but i'm not sure.
Thanks a lot
Jochen
Edited by: Jochen Raab on Mar 1, 2010 5:40 PM

Hi Jochen,
Please have a look at the DB2 docu.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r7/topic/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.ha.doc/doc/c0005960.html
It clearly stats that Linux and Windows are not compatible.
DB2® database systems support some backup and restore operations between different operating systems and hardware platforms.
The supported platforms for DB2 backup and restore operations can be grouped into one of three families:
Big-endian Linux® and UNIX®
Little-endian Linux and UNIX
Windows®
A database backup from one platform family can only be restored on any system within the same platform family. For Windows operating systems, you can restore a database created on DB2 Universal Database (UDB) V8 on a DB2 Version 9 database system. For Linux and UNIX operating systems, as long as the endianness (big endian or little endian) of the backup and restore platforms is the same, you can restore backups that were produced on DB2 UDB V8 on DB2 Version 9.
So you need to do an eport/import.
Regards,
Joachim

Windows 2003 server scheduled tasks not work properly. Please help.

I created a couple of windows shell scripting programs. When I call them from command line, it works well. Then I use Task Scheduler to schedule them to be run daily. The strange thing is: If I log into server and open Task Scheduler window. The scheduled tasks will run automatically and execute with result code 0x0. It works well. However, if I just set up Task Scheduler and log out of the server, the scheduled works will not run with result code 0x80. Here is the log info
"programname-parametername.job" (programname.cmd)
Started 1/28/2010 11:20:00 PM
"programname-parametername.job" (programname.cmd)
Finished 1/28/2010 11:20:00 PM
Result: The task completed with an exit code of (80).
I used windows adminstrator account, not system account to schedule the work. I changed scheduled work to be run by my admin account, not by system account. Please advise me where is the problem and how to fix it. Thanks in advance.

Hi Polarisws,
According to your description, I understand that your scheduled task did not run when the user is not logged in the system.
Please go to the services.msc and select the "task Scheduler" service, double-click it and go to "Log On" page, enable the option "allow service to interact with desktop" and test the result.

Opening Excel Workbook Fails when run from Scheduled Task on Windows Server 2008 Rw

Hi,
I have a little vbs script that instantiates the Excel.Application object and then opens a work book to perform some tasks on it. The script runs fine when run from the command line. When I attempt to run it as a scheduled task (it is supposed to update
data that is pulled from a SQL Server at regular intervals), it fails with the following error:
Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'c:\test\SampleWorkbook.xlsm'. There are several possible reasons: .....
The file does exist. The path reported in the error is correct. The account under which the task is running is the same account I use to run it from the command line. User Account Control is not enabled, and the task is set up to run with highest privileges.
When I run the same script through the Task Scheduler from a Windows Server 2003 machine, it works without issue.
I was just wondering if somebody on this forum has run into a similar issue in connection with Windows Server 2008 R2 and figured out what the magic trick is to make it work. I'm sure it is rights related, but I haven't quite figured out what which rights
are missing.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

This is truly killing me ... trying to get it working on Windows Server 2012 without success.
I desperately need to automate running Excel macros in a "headless" environment, that is non-interactive, non-GUI, etc.
I can get it to work using Excel.Application COM, either via VBScript or Powershell, successfully on many other Windows systems in our environment - Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 (32-bit), etc., -BUT-
The two servers we built out for running our automation process are Windows Server 2012 (SE) - and it just refuses to run on the 2012 servers - it gives the messages below from VBScript and PowerShell, respectively-
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing several different versions of Microsoft Excel (2007 Standard, 2010 Standard, 2010 Professional Plus, 32-bit vs. 64-bit, etc.), but it makes no difference.
Would be extremely grateful if any one out there has had any success in running Excel automation on Server 2012 in a non-interactive environment that they could share.
( I have tried adding the "%windir%\syswow64\config\systemprofile\desktop"
folder, which did fix the issue for me when testing on Windows Server 2008 R2, but sadly did not resolve it on Windows Server 2012 )

Windows Server Backup scheduled task run successfully but backup do not start (not running) on Windows Server 2012

Hi,
A backup job has been setup on Windows Server 2012 (Platform: Win32NT; ServicePack: ; Version: 6.2.9200.0; VersionString : Microsoft Windows NT 6.2.9200.0) via Windows Backup Software UI (Local Backup 1.0).
It is appearing as a scheduled task "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup" belonging to user 'nt authority\system' in task scheduler.
The problem is that the Backup job never start despite the scheduled task running and completing successfully (when run automatically or manually)!
Would you be able to explain why and assist in resolving that issue?
Here is what we know:
When the backup is run manually via the Windows Backup Software UI, it works fine.
When the backup is run via command line (as set in schedule task) in a cmd command prompt (as local/domain 'administrator' or as 'nt authority\system' which is possible by running command prompt via 'PsExec.exe -i -s cmd'), something like "%windir%\System32\wbadmin.exe
start backup -templateId:{f11eb3aa-74e7-4ff4-a57b-d8d567ee3f77} -quiet", it works fine.
If you manually run the preset scheduled task while logged in as administrator, the task run and complete successfully but the backup job does not start.
Idem if you schedule task is run automatically at scheduled time.
The schedule task run and complete successfully but the backup job does not start.
It is confirmed by running the following in a command prompt as 'nt authority\system':
schtasks /run /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup"
SUCCESS: Attempted to run the scheduled task "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup".
Despite success result, the Backup job does not start running...
No errors or warning appears anywhere in Event Logs (Microsoft > Windows > Backup or Task Scheduler) nor in the scheduled task History tab. The schedule task complete successfully but no Backup job is run...
If scheduled task automatically set by Windows Backup software is duplicated (copied) and set manually it runs fine as 'administrator' and as 'nt authority\system' (subject that 'nt authority\system' is added to the 'Backup Operators' AD group).
Here is an export of the current pre-set schedule task, is there any settings that need to be changed to make it works?

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Once again, the issue is not to run the backup manually from the command line but to have it run via the scheduled task setup by the Windows Backup software.
By default, the schedule task is to be run as NT Authority\System, and when run under this account, the backup does not start (even though account is member of Backup Operators) and job can manually be run via elevated command prompt. This is not a normal
behavior and constitute a major bug in Windows Server 2012.
From my understanding the NT Authority\System account is a built-in account from Windows that should by default be part of the Administrators group (built-in) even though it does not explicitly appears like it in AD by default.
This account shall have by default Administrators rights and Backup Operators rights (via the Administrators group) without being explicitly added to those groups (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/ms684190%28v=vs.85%29.aspx). By design
it is supposed to be the most powerful account which has unrestricted access to all local system resources. If that is not the case (as it seems) then this would constitute a major bug in Windows Server 2012 edition.
As said previously and as you confirmed, currently by default NT Authority\System on Windows 2012 server cannot start backup manually via an elevated command prompt unless it is manually added to Backup Operators (or Administrators) group. But wouldn't that
constitute a bug of Windows Server 2012?
Our server has not yet been restarted since I added NT Authority\System account to the Administrators group explicitly manually so I cannot yet confirmed it would sort the issue. Indeed it is heavily in use so cannot easily be restarted. Will confirm when
done.
We also have an additional problem where after a while of last reboot, part of the Exchange ECP can no longer be properly loaded in the web browser due to compilation error (compilation is done via NT Authority\System account which seems to no longer have
sufficient right to compile .NET code). What is strange is that it works at first and then stop working at some point... I am hopeful that adding NT Authority\System to the Administrators group would sort this issue as well but once again, that shall not be
needed!!!
