hiy,

thanks for the speedy reply,

i did check it, in the course of my investigations.. the thing is... as long as im giving any other user than 'cat mgr' or 'business mgr', its goin to deployed stage...

i could create new users... but this occurs again... i wanna know whats causing this..

also.. can u clue me in as to how to check the approval logs [ if possible ], so i can check how or where the approval is getting stuck,

thanks a mil.

hey.. thanks for the help..

but i figured out finnally what was wrong..

the name that u give in the 'Name' category of 'Request Catalog Manager' when creating SRD [ in the definition tab ]

it cannot be more than 30 chars. including spaces. [ if this is common knowledge then.. whoops... if not.. this is good info for that can be added in help docs for ppl like me ]

once i took care of that.. its getting deployed. i did check the server logs to figure this out.

but i didnt check ur procedure.

do i guve the entire path in the approval debug mode ... like in 'C:\Documents and Settings\abhishek_caleb\Desktop'  ??

or just a file name ? .. what is the default loggin area where this gets stored?

pls let me know..

thanks for all the help.

one last query.

how do i check the KB that u mentioned?

do i need some kinda special previlieges in order to be able to access them? lemme know...

thanks
