How to clone a process?

(1) Is there a way to make a copy of a process?
Which leads to two sub questions:
(1a) Can you make a copy of a process within the same process project? and
(2a) Can you copy of a process to another process project?
In my installed version of Developer Studio, there is no "copy" option in the context menu of a process.

Hello Fisher, Harsha,
thank you for your tips. However, copying all the artifacts from one process into a blank process leaves you with a lot of work. You have to re-do all data mappings and if you copy over to another project, you also have to re-create the tasks.
We have to copy to a new project because there is sometimes a bug in the BPMN compiler which crashes with a NULL pointer exception. Once this error occurs, the only workaround we found was to re-model the process in a new project. That is why I was asking.
Regards,
Patrik

How to clone Production Hyperion 11.1.2.1 to Test Hyperion 11.1.2.1

Hi Experts,
I am looking for detailed steps on how to clone our Production Hyperion version 11.1.2.1 to Test Hyperion version 11.1.2.1.
I know some ways on doing it like using LCM and EAS, export and import of relational schemas but I am not sure which process comes first and which comes next. So can anyone tell me the detailed steps on how to clone it.
Thanks.
Edited by: 786923 on Feb 8, 2012 11:52 AM

Ranzal has a good blog post about LCM: http://ranzal.wordpress.com/2010/03/24/using-oracles-hyperion%C2%AE-life-cycle-management/
I also like Oracle's post too: http://blogs.oracle.com/HyperionPlanning/entry/lifecycle_management_utility_lets_execute
Of course the admin guide gives you a lot of info: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_lifecycle_management/launch.htm

How to clone a physical drive?

Hi, I have been trying to figure out how to clone my MacBooks hard-drive. It has OSX, plus Bootcamp and XP Pro partitions. My destination drive is an exact duplicate physical drive in an external USB enclosure. I want to clone the entire internal drive to the external drive, including all partitions and boot data. The DiskUtility, even when booted from CD, only supports cloning individual partitions. SuperDuper and other utilities seem to work the same. I tried the linux tool, G4L, and it did not recognize the external USB drive. I am trying to clone so that if the internal drive ever croaks, I can just drop in the drive thats currently in the external case - and have no down time. I only need to backup my machine this way once a month, so it doesnt matter how long the process takes - as long as it works! Any suggestions?

Hi wh31415,
You can clone both your OS X and Windows partitions from within OS X. Partition your external so that the Windows portion is large enough to hold a disk image of the Windows installation on your main drive. Leave the rest for OS X. You can do this with Disk Utility.
Once you have the external partitioned, use WinClone to clone the Windows drive. You run it right from OS X. It creates a compressed disk image that can be restored from OS X also. It's free and works great.
For OS X, use either SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner. Both can be run right from the OS X installation you're booted from. Just don't do anything else while it's cloning. Both are free, though the paid version of SuperDuper! is worth every cent for updating your backup.

How to do parallel processing with dynamic internal table

Hi All,
I need to implement parallel processing that involves dynamically created internal tables. I tried doing so using RFC function modules (using starting new task and other such methods) but didn't get success this requires RFC enabled function modules and at the same time RFC enabled function modules do not allow generic data type (STANDARD TABLE) which is needed for passing dynamic internal tables. My exact requirement is as follows:
1. I've large chunk of data in two internal tables, one of them is formed dynamically and hence it's structure is not known at the time of coding.
2. This data has to be processed together to generate another internal table, whose structure is pre-defined. But this data processing is taking very long time as the number of records are close to a million.
3. I need to divide the dynamic internal table into (say) 1000 records each and pass to a function module and submit it to run in another task. Many such tasks will be executed in parallel.
4. The function module running in parallel can insert the processed data into a database table and the main program can access it from there.
Unfortunately, due to the limitation of not allowing generic data types in RFC, I'm unable to do this. Does anyone has any idea how to implement parallel processing using dynamic internal tables in these type of conditions.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Ashin

How to configure quality process with batch management.

Dear Friends,
we have a scenario,our client receive goods with 101movement type into quality inspection stock.
once stock is passed quality check stock,then we will take into unrestricted stock with 321 movement type.
failed in quality test will be rejected.please give me suggestion how to map the scenario.while i am testing
the process in my sandbox,its asking batch number.its not allowing me to post unrestricted stock with 321
movement type.how to make batch as optional in this scenario?if batch is mainted for the material,how to
configure the process.we are not using QM module.
please suggest me.
Regards,
Varun

In Batch management config in Logistic general, Check for the movement type 101 & 321 whether batch creation has been activated to Manual, Automatic, or no creation. In your case it looks like for mvt 321 batch creation is set to manual & for 101 no creation.
if batch creation is set to manual, enter a manual batch no & proceed.
But to cross verify wheter 101 has generated batch or not please check the stocks in MMBE.
Hope this helps.

Mithun

How much ram and processing power in my imac will meet my graphic design needs?

Hi,
I'm in the market for a new imac. I'm trying to figure out how much ram I'll need and which processor will be sufficient for my graphic design needs.
I'm gonna need it to be robust enough to have InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator open at once along with spotify, safari with many tabs open, and a couple other apps including evernote and game from time to time. Also, I'm gonna be managing a good deal of fonts in font explorer. How much ram and processing power will I need in my imac to keep everything snappy with all these apps going at the same time?
Any advice on this would be much appreciated. Feel free to include any other relevant information you think I should know.
Thanks, Nick

Computers are out of date when you open the box
Ok, getting serious, that iMac should be a viable workhorse for what you want for a good five years, and taht depends on how much ram you put in it, add really fast external storage, and so on.
Didn't throw this in earlier so as to not influence the discussion: my daughter is the senior art director, VP, at a graphics design firm in NYC. Has been in the business for a number of years. When she changed out her Mac at work, bought, or company bought, the 27" iMac model just before the latest, with maxed out CPU/GPU, and storage. They maxed the memory to 32 GB for her, then added a 30" Apple cinema display so she has almost 5' of display in front of her. There is nothing she cannot have open all spread across that display area. She works almost exclusively in print media, occassionally condescends to do web stuff. And has a massive array of RAID drives hanging on it. But that is a setup an individual would be hard pressed to go with.
At home she uses a MacBook Pro with top cpu and display but that is all.
The point, just how massive do you want to go depends on how fast you have to work; in the office where time is money you need tons of horsepower. At home, you scale it to your abilitty to juggle other tasks at the same time.
I think your choices have been great, the discussion has focused on what is important and especially what can and cannot be changed in the future.
Best of luck setting this up.

How to clone Boot Camp partition when Winclone does not work

The hard drive in my MacBook Pro is failing. It has 2 partions, one for Apple and the other is a Bootcamp with Windows 7.
I tried repairing it with Disk Utility, which did not work. I also ran DiskWarrior, which resulted in the error message: "Directory cannot be rebuilt due to disk hardware failure". I was able to copy my Apple files through DiskWarrior although there were a couple of errors.
My question is how to clone my Bootcamp Partition. I tried making an image with Disk Utility but it failed. I also tried using Winclone and it failed indicating there were hard drive issues.
Is there another way to try to copy the Bootcamp partition? I can boot to Apple so running a program/app or trying UNIX commands might work.
Thank you in advance.

Some previous forum comments I have collected regarding backup of BootCamp.
Acronis 2011 w/ plus pak, didn't work well previously
Ghost 15 - probably not
Casper 6 works for Windows on Boot Camp only
CopyCatX is more lengthy and sector copy so takes the longest.
Paragon Hard Drive Suite 2011 because it works great and they have CampTune
Windows 7 system backup and restore - Apple's goofy HFS read-only interferes with system and file backup.
I have also used Casper, Clonezilla and Paragon but less regularly, Casper failed a few times, I stopped using it, Clonezilla worked but took forever (for me) Paragon (which I have only used twice) was the best but my sample is limited.
I have restored from DU, CCC, SuperDuper and TM, they all worked, TM was slower but not a lot, you can boot from the others, which I prefer.
Paragon HDM 2011 can do either offline or online backups, the difference is that with an offline backup, the entire partition (or disk) is unallocated. In an online backup, the backup utility is running against a partition that may be making changes to itself. When you run CCC or SD! in OS X, you're running an online backup. However, I would recommend (at least for the first backup) that you boot from the HDM recovery CD to do an offline backup. This will ensure that you have an *exact* copy of the parition/disk.
I tried the native Windows backup utility. It worked to backup and restore my Windows partition, but I noticed a "bad" side effect. When I would restore a Windows Backup to my HD, it would corrupt my MacOS boot partition, so I would then have to restore the Mac partition as well.
Winclone allows you to migrate your Bootcamp partition from one Mac to another Mac and make sure Windows will boot. However, if the processor (for example, Core Duo or i7) is a different type, the restored version of Windows may not be supported or be able to run on the new Mac. If you are migrating between Macs that are the same type (MacBook Air to MacBook Air, for example), you will have the greatest chance of success. You can try to restore Winclone images between different types of Macs (for example, a Mac Pro to a Mac Mini), but be aware that if Windows boots but does not reach the desktop, it is probably not an issue with Winclone, but rather the change in processor type.

HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS RUNNING IN THE PRODUCTION?

HI ALL,
CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN WHICH IS RUNNING DAILY AT 5.00 PM. I NEED TO STOP THE PROCESS CHAIN FOR COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN RESTART IT AGAIN.
cAN ANYONE TELL ME THE PROCEDURE TO STOP THE ENTIRE PROCESS CHAIN RUNNING IN THE PRODUCTION.
THANKS
HARITHA

Hi,
First and foremost let me advice you to be very careful while doing this.
For Rescheduling
RSPC> chain > Goto > Planning view and
click on Execution tab > select > Remove from Schedule and then in Maintain variant of start process reschedule for the day you require it to run.
For terminating active chain
You can start from SM37, find the process WID/PID then go to SM50 or SM51 and kill it. Once its done come back to RSMO and check the request, it should be red but again manually force to red and save by clicking on the total status button in the status tab. This shuld ensure that the process is killed properly.
The next step will be to go to targets that you were loading and remove the red requests from those targets.
Note: For source system loads you may have to check if the request is running in the source system and kill if needed and pull it again.
But for BW datamart delta loads u may have reset the datamarts in case u are going to pull the delta again.

Please explain me how to run the process flow again from the 5th mapping( which got errored out in the previos run)....i.e I do not want to run the first 4 mappings in that process flow again, I want to run only the remaining mappings in the process flow.
Please let me know in case you need more information / explaination.
Thanks in advance...

Hi
On the question of process flows and resuming the following article gives some ideas, it has to be designed in the process flow basically;
