XCreateIC fails intermittently on Solaris utf-8 locale

Hi,
I'm using motif 2.1 and Xlib of Solaris 8 (i.e. /usr/openwin/lib/libX11.so). In my application I'm using Drawing Area widget for text editing. I'm trying to create a input context for Root-Window input style. The following XCreateIC() call fails intermittently on utf-8 locale, while the same problem is not happening on non-utf-8 locale e.g. ja_JP.eucJP.
ic = XCreateIC (im, XNInputStyle, XIMPreeditNothing | XIMStatusNothing, XNClientWindow, xim_win, NULL)) == NULL)
printf("\nXCreateIC failed.\n");
return (0);
I'm not able to identify what is going wrong. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Issue resolved. I reinstalled XManager.
Now it works fine.
Kind regards,
Daniel

Error 1030723 Unable to get UTF-8 locale when using Essbase API 11.1.1

Now I got a question about how to connect to an Essbase Server by using essbase client API (11.1.1). I encountered an error “Unable to get UTF-8 locale” when I tried to EssInit((pInitStruct, phInstance) API.
However, I had no problem to call the API if I uses essbase previous client APIs (7.1 or 9.3).
I passed the “ESS_API_UTF8” to usApiType field in the ESS_INIT_T struct. When I openned the “essapi.h” header file, I found these are some new fields (highlighted in red color below) added in the essbase client API (11.1.1)
ESS_TSA_API_typedef_struct(ess_init_t)
ESS_TSA_ELEMENT(ESS_ULONG_T, Version); /* This should be set to ESS_API_VERSION */
ESS_TSA_ELEMENT(ESS_PVOID_T, UserContext); /* void pointer to user's message context */
ESS_TSA_ELEMENT(ESS_USHORT_T, MaxHandles); /* max number of context handles required */
ESS_TSA_ELEMENT(ESS_SIZE_T, MaxBuffer); /* max size of buffer that can be allocated */
ESS_TSA_ELEMENT(ESS_STR_T, LocalPath); /* local path to use for file operations */

ESS_TSA_ELEMENT(ESS_PCOOKIE_DELETE_FUNC_T, CookieDeleteFunc); /* user-defined cookie creation function */
} ESS_TSA_END(ESS_INIT_T);
I could not find any document to introduce the API (11.1.1. And what does the error “Unable to get UTF-8 locale” mean? How can work around it. Any environment parameters or paths need to be set?
Please advise.

Hi,
The API documentation for V11 is available from :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_apiref/frameset.htm?launch.htm
Hopefully it might point you in the right direction.

Publications fail intermittently on XI 3.1

Hello,
We have publications that fail intermittently with the error:
An exception was caught while scheduling the publication. (FBE60203) or
Unable to find the infostore service. Is your CMS running and configured properly? (FBE60002)
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKException$OCAFramework: Unable to reconnect to the CMS xxx.ny2.xxx.net:6400. The session has been logged off or has expired. (FWM 01002)
cause:com.crystaldecisions.enterprise.ocaframework.OCAFrameworkException$LogonFailover: Unable to reconnect to the CMS xxx.ny2.xxx.net:6400. The session has been logged off or has expired. (FWM 01002)
The publication log also invarably contains Unable to reconnect to the CMS xxx.ny2.xxx.net:6400. The session has been logged off or has expired. (FWM 01002).
The publications are scheduled as follows:
1. A program object is scheduled to kick off the publication. This program object passes values to the prompts in the publication at run time.
2. The publications are scheduled as MHTML files to an FTP server.
3. The publications are based on different tabs in Webi report
Our environment consists of a full stack on a single server.
Environment details:
BO XI 3.1 Premium CPU on RHEL 4 (64 bit) (2.6.9-67.0.15.ELsmp)
Oracle 64 bit
Tomcat 5.5
We schedule a lot of reports using a similar process flow. It is only the publications that fail.
We have a case open too. I was hoping someone had seen something like this before.
The entire publication log from the last time one of the publications failed is below:

Once a publication fails, the only method to ensure success is to:
1. Restart the CMS, Publication Job Server and Webi Processing Server
2. Recreate the publication (remove the source, add it again)
As an aside, I've had cases open twice before for the same issue. I closed them both because I can't replicate on demand (we were on XI3.0 RTM at that point).
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Srinivas

Mike,
I still have the case open with support on this. While I am (still) unsure as to which session has logged off, support suggested that I do the following:
Add
-requesttimeout 3600000 on following servers.
1.CMS
2.Webi Processing Server.
3.Adaptive job Server.
4.Publication Job server.
5.Input Server.
This seems to have done the job, at least for now. I am still testing though.
If your publication does fail with such an error, restarting the SIA could be a temporary solution.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Best,
Srinivas

Failed to get IP address for Local Host (2) , OPMNCTL: opmn start failed

HI,
Hi, I have installed on Oracle 10g on Redhat Enterprise Linux V.2.1 . I was able to start OEM without any issues. Recently I had changed the static IP address and I couldn't able to start OPMNCTL and getting the following error while starting opmnctl start. error message is as follows.
Failed to get IP address for local host(2).....
Failed to get IP address for local host(2).....
Failed to get IP address for local host(2).....
my current configuration in /etc/hosts file is as follows.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain servername
After going through some of threads available in Oracle, I have added the static IP address in the /etc/hosts but still I am getting the same error.
my new hosts file is as follows.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain servername
10.21.253.102 localhost.localdomain servername
I don't know why this is looking for localhost (2). I did not set up any local host (2) and I could not see anything in my network confiuration also.
could you please help me in this issue? I appreciate your help in this regard.
Thanks
venkat

Hi, i think that the application server part is looking for a /etc/hosts entry
in this format:
127.0.0.1 localhost
As i noticed, this is used for internal communication.
Try this entry as is, without a domain...

Everything I look up for Event ID 1085 seems to be about a different cause.
Any ideas?

I enabled tracing on a domain gpo and I still get the error when running gpupdate /force .
I'm also still getting Event 1085. Here's the trace file. I've anonymized the site/domain and the GUIDs.

ORA-00245: control file backup failed; target is likely on a local file sys

Hello,
our RAC (Linux, 11.2.0.3.0) is rather new and we are still on gaining experiences with that system...
When starting the backup with RMAN we are getting the following error:
Starting Control File and SPFILE Autobackup at 04-JUL-12
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03009: failure of Control File and SPFILE Autobackup command on ORA_DISK_1 channel at 07/04/2012 16:41:48
ORA-00245: control file backup failed; target is likely on a local file system
The reason for the error is clear ORA-00245 - in a RAC environment the location of the Snapshot Controlfile must be on a shared location.
When executing the RMAN command "show all" on each node, we are getting
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db/dbs/snapcf_PROD021.f'; # default
for node #1
and
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db/dbs/snapcf_PROD022.f'; # default
for node #2
When using a shared location for the Snapshot Controlfile do we still need to setup 2 different names for that file?
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/<shared location>/snapcf_PROD021.f'; # default
for node #1 and
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/<shared location>/snapcf_PROD022.f'; # default
for node #2
Or should we configure just one Snapshot Controlfile?
The RMAN setup for "CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO..." must be changed on both nodes - correct?
Hopefully my question is clear enough - any help will be appreciated.
Rgds

No, it must be configured on a shared storage:Not really required, i've RAC setup and snapshot is configured on local storage.
Configuring the RMAN Snapshot Control File Location
The snapshot control file is a copy of a database control file created in an operating system-specific location by Recovery Manager. RMAN creates the snapshot control file so that it has a consistent version of a control file to use when either resynchronizing the recovery catalog or backing up the control file. In Oracle RAC, the snapshot control file is only needed on the nodes on which RMAN performs backups; the snapshot control file does not need to be globally available to all instances in an Oracle RAC environment.
See below from doc.

Ok, this is wierd...
From the traceback you posted an exception is raised in /usr/share/anki/anki/__init__.py at line 14. Now looking at that file we can see that the exception is raised whenever the function sys.getfilesystemencoding().lower() returns the string ascii or ansi_x3.4-1968:
/usr/share/anki/anki/__init__.py lines 9:14 wrote:if sys.version_info[0] > 2:
raise Exception("Anki should be run with Python 2")
elif sys.version_info[1] < 6:
raise Exception("Anki requires Python 2.6+")
elif sys.getfilesystemencoding().lower() in ("ascii", "ansi_x3.4-1968"):
raise Exception("Anki requires a UTF-8 locale.")
However this output
charli3 wrote:$ python2 -c "import sys; print sys.getfilesystemencoding()"
UTF-8
shows that the function sys.getfilesystemencoding() returns UTF-8 and thus the exception shouldn't occur
Did you execute anki in a terminal different from the one in wich you executed the command I posted? Can you please try again to run this commands
python2 -c "import sys; print sys.getfilesystemencoding()" && anki
and see what happen?
PS:

I think you're right

[SOLVED] Anki won't start. "Exception: Anki requires a UTF-8 locale."

When starting Anki, I get this output:

Found the answer on the systemd wiki page. I guess I need to run "# localectl set-locale LANG="en_US.utf8"" to get it to configure /etc/locale.conf.
All is working now.

Group Policy failing intermittently on one of my servers

Have you checked the event logs to see if a specific thing is triggering it?
CMOS battery been changed (if the date/time is being reset this can be the cause)?
Or GPResult to check that what should be applied is being applied?

I have a server-2008 R2 box where Group Policy fails intermittently. The result is the server looses it's domain trust connection, exact error message is: Remote Desktop cannot verify the ID of the remote computer because there is a time or date difference....
I can reboot the server and it's fixed, but a month later it will have the same issue.
What can I look for to troubleshoot resolve, and what can I monitor to fix this? GP service? If the service is running & the interface, port, or bad cable, I will not be alerted. Can I configure some type of alert that tells me when GP replication with the domain controller has succeeded/failed?

Asked and answered. You need to edit that file - this is described in the Beginners guide and installation guide (edit: and several times on the locale page).

CS5: Magic Wand fails intermittently; cannot use Channel Mixer on selection

Hello,
Using CS5 / Photoshop on Mac OS 10.6.4. 4GB RAM.
The Magic Wand tool fails intermittently. Quitting PS and rebooting seems to re-enable use of the Magic Wand.
However, even when the Magic Wand tool does "work", for some reason I can no longer use any of the items in Image -> Adjustments, such as the Channel Mixer. This functionality was working just 20 minutes ago, and now even with multiple reboots I cannot seem to get it working again.
Googling came up with no relevant articles on this errant behavior.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Could you post a screenshot?

CodedUI Tests Fails Intermittently With Initialization Errors

I would like to re-ask the question asked in this thread:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/855c561b-2100-4494-bf65-c5b9ec83e4af/inconsistent-coded-ui-test-behavior-depending-on-lab-size?forum=vsmantest
There was no answer given and no more replies coming in to that thread.
We are exactly in the same situation. We have large number of CodedUI test cases (500+) which runs daily. Some of the tests fails intermittently with the initialization failures. The details are:
ERROR MESSAGE

Could someone please let us know what could be the issue of these intermittent failures?

Hi digitali,
According to your description, I would like to know the details:
How many agent machines in the lab environment?
What’s the details of these machines? (e.g. memory, system)
What’s the version of TFS, MTM, test controller and test agent?

IDOC Failing Intermittently

Hi Folks,
We are facing some wierd error..
Inbound IDocs (to ECC) are failing intermittently...and when reprocessed getting processed successfully..
We are using DELVRY07 IDOC and error we receive during failure is
<SAP:Code area="IDOC_ADAPTER">ATTRIBUTE_IDOC_METADATA</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1>Obligatory node 'E1EDL20' missing in the structure DELVRY07.Z...</SAP:P1>
We have checked at mapping level and seen that all attributes and segments are mapped with values...
Also in our mapping we have changed the signature of the idoc from 1 to 0..unbounded (instead of importing as dtd..)
your suggestions/pointers on this will be appreciated..
Note : we are on PI 7.1 Ehp1..
Regards
Rajesh

This is a weird problem. One of the possible ways is that your ECC might be not responding temporarily due to limited resources and so mesgs are not flowing from PI to ECC. Check with Basis team. This is my assumption. If some cron job or process or report takes more resources in ECC for a particular short span time, this could slow down or not accepting idocs and that moment it fails acceptin your idoc.

T430 Sound failing intermittently

The sound is failing intermittently on my T430.
Closing then opening the lid to enter and return from hibernation sometimes restores sound. When this does not work restarting the machine usually restores sound. But the sound fails again after an indeterminate period.
Opening Ubuntu Linux in Virtualbox now displays the message "Some audio devices (PCM_in, PCM-mic) could not be opened".
I'd appreciate any advice.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since this problem appeared out of the blue I suspect a Windows update.
Googling "windows 8 update loss of audio" highlights a recent update
KB2962407. Uninstalling this update solves the problem.
Of course I now wait to see what other problems this unistallation
causes :-)

GetThumbnailAsync failing intermittently

Hi,
As I can't get the associated application for a filetype, see:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/225d7822-a429-4816-b4d5-408daf3db5ac/get-icon-of-associated-application?forum=winappswithnativecode
I'm using getThumbnailAsync(ThumbnailMode::SingleItem, 100) but this fails intermittently on different files with a HRESULT of E_PENDING. Is there any way I can avoid this? If not what are my options, reissuing the call etc.
Thanks for the help

Hi,
What's meaning about fails intermittently on different files with a HRESULT of E_PENDING? Do you meand when you use getThumbnailAsync(ThumbnailMode::SingleItem, 100) on the same type of files, the thumbnails are different. If so, there is no wany to handle
that. For music file, if the file has album art, the thumbnail is the album art and uses the original aspect ratio of the file. Otherwise, the thumbnail is just an icon. You can see the link to get more information:
