A Question about Hyperion Application Link (HAL)

Do we recomand to use HAL to load data?
I noticed that I should use a program named "Vignette® V7 Business Integration Studio" to use HAL. But I can not foud it in the edelivery. Where can I download it?

HAL was a Hyperion branded version of Vignette, so hence the name.
HAL is a reasonable tool for simple to medium complexity integrations into Essbase or Planning and works pretty well.
As the other poster mentioned it will soon not be supported and you need to look into ODI, DIM or FDM options. DIM and FDM are purchasable options, but you should get a a reduced license ODI included (similar to HAL) on v9.3+. ODI and DIM are more robust ETL/ELT tools, where as FDM is a slightly different proposition that allows local entities to take control of loading and mapping their source data, with robust auditing etc.
Hope this helps

Hyperion Application Link (HAL)

 We ran a sample.prp file which was perfectly working well. We then rerun the file and got the following error message: "VBIS Exception set by "Hyperion Planning" in "Flow Diagram1': Exception: Connection refused to host: PLN; nested exception is: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused:connect We were perplexed to receive such an error when a minute before we did the last run, it was working find. We are using HAL Version 3.0 which runs on Vignette Business Integration Studio Version 6.1 and we encountered the error when it tries to log on to the host Server PLN. Has anyone experienced such message and any idea on the resolution? I believe the resolution to this should not be much difference to HAL V7 or any other version, if you are using a different version from us. 

I ran into a similar issue with HAL Version 7. After digging through the installation guide I found that the RMI service was not started on application server. To start the RMI service I used the shell script found here: /opt/apps/hyperion/common/RMI I hope this helps.

Hyperion Application Link (HAL) suppported matrix

Hi folks,
We are looking to upgrade from 9.2 to 11.1.1.3 or 11.1.2. We are looking for an official support matrix that will indicate if we will be supported with HAL on v. 11x.
I found lifetime support application but this document do not tell if HAL is supported on version 11x.
http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lifetime-support-applications-069216.pdf
Thank you!
Martin

HAL is not officialy supported on version 11x as its going to phase.
I have myself used HAL 9.2 with version 11.1.1.1 & 11.1.1.3 and it worked pretty fine, so i think you can go ahead and use it if you really want to use it.
Version 11.1.2 i am yet to test but not sure as there are lot of configuration changes in 11.1.2

Error Hyperion Application Link - Process VBIS Exception set by

Hello
I am having problems with the implementation of a routine of HAL, every time you run the following error appears:
Exception VBIS set by 'file_test_extract.txt' in 'Formats values Entity': Unexpected Exception Flat File: Flat File: internal error: unexpected exception
I use the Hyperion Application Link 3.0
extraio and data from Hyperion Enterprise 6.2.2.16
Somebody help me?

If the routine has been working until this point, I would suspect something is wrong with the file you are trying to load. Open it in a text viewer to look for any unexpected characters such as additional delimitter characters (or too few). It sounds like the HAL integration is light on data validation and some bad data is causing an exception.

Hyperion application link

Hi,
According to me hyperion application link is ETL tool of hyperion bBut no longer used any more. It was used for Hyperion Planning 9. But no longer available for hyperion planning 11.
Please correct me if i am wrong.

Reg: Hyperion Application Link

Hai All,
I an new to planning, I want to practice on Hyperion Application Link. So please tell me in detail, from which sites i can download that software.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
HAL has been history for quite some time and the new fashion is ODI. I don't think it's available anywhere else but edelivery. However try this site for info on newer versions of the software: http://www.vignette.com/
However, it will not include Hyperion adapters and I am in doubt that it would support adapters of legacy versions.

Newbee questions about XE application builder

Hi
I find that Oracle support someting that we can use to build some real database driven applications
i have some questions about it :
1-Does this application builder differ from Oracle 10g R2 Application builder ? i means is it limited ?
2-Does any one use it to build a real world application that works some where in some business place ?
3-what is its behind code and technology , does it use JSF and managed Beans ? how i can see the generted codes ?
Thanks

Hello,
Here's the link to the Application Express Forum Oracle Application Express (APEX)

Question about multiple application modules.

Hello,
Suppose I have 2 database schema’s. For both schemas I have 1 application module. All view objects are in the same project.
For each application module I have an application definition.
Is it possible to link between these two applications? Because sometimes these database schema’s link to each other and you would like to jump from one application directly to the other.
For example you have orders locates in 1 DB schema and customers in another DB schema.
You would want to jump from the order directly to the customer details in the second schema.
Is this possible? Or do I need to make nested application modules etc?
I can find very little info about this; the JHS def guide does not offer much information about multiple application modules etc.
-Anton

Anton,
Yes, you can jump aroundd as you like.
You just can't use view links between VO's based on different db schema tables.
Nesting AM's doesn't help there, the DB connection of the top-level AM will be used.
Why don't you create synomyms for the tables in the other schema?

Techie Question about iWeb, outbound links, and Google Analytics

Hi,
I have a kind of pretty technical question about using Google Analytics (GA) with iWeb sites to measure clicks on outbound links. Here's the setup:
1) My website's online, and GA is working properly.
2) I don't sell stuff directly, but I do have a "Purchase" page which contains a link to a specific Amazon page.
3) I'm pretty sure I can measure how many people go to the Purchase page using GA, but how do I measure whether visitors click on the Amazon link? It would be interesting to me to be able to gauge what the conversion rate is; that is, how many people actually proceed to purchase the product at Amazon.
I've checked the GA instructions and there's a page about manually tracking clicks on outbound links but it requires some code inputting. I know zero about coding, but I'm pretty sure that in iWeb you can't get access to the source code to input the required code.
Am I wrong about this? And if I am, then does anyone here know how to measure the clickthrough rate?
Anyway, hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

I don't know about the link tracking but you could have the link take you to a redirect page which automatically sends them to Amazon.com after a preset time, 0 seconds to whatever you'd like. You can put a counter on that redirect page, like StatCounter. StatCounter can tell you how many, from where they came, i.e country and area, repeat visits, etc.
Tutorials #12 & #13 describe how to put a visible counter on a page but with a redirect page you wouldn't have to bother since it wouldn't be seen. You can get all of your information from your account on the StatCounter site.
The redirect page would be a simple plain text page titled redirect.html and would look like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="0; Destination URL">
<title>Redirecting or whatever you'd like to appear at the top of the browser</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
0 Is the number of seconds to wait before redirecting the visitor. If set to zero the visitor would not know they were being redirected. Replace Destination URL with the Amazon URL you want them to go to.

Question about managing application licenses together with netboot

Hello
So far I had made no experience with an MacOSX Server netboot configuration but we plan to introduce it in some weeks. Therefore we are "wondering" how management/assignment of application licenses is working in a netboot configuration. Normally in a local MacOSX configuration licenses for application are in generally assigned on the application (some are bound to a certain user name, others to the CPU ID) and is valid for all users login to the same computer. How and at which time are application licenses (for example MS Office 2004, Adobe Acrobat etc.) assigned in a netboot environment?
Many thanks in advance for any clarification and with best regards, André Müller

Hi Andre,
Is this a technical or legal question Either way it is an interesting question about a major grey-area, and I wonder if anyone has the right answer.
Boiling your question down to specifics, it could be...
I have 15 individual Photoshop serials. I want to run Photoshop off a NetBoot image for 15 simultaneous users. Can I install one serial on the image, and allow 15 users to open Photoshop simultaneously. What if I want to install the image on 20 machines, but only 15 users will ever use Photoshop simultaneously.
There is a technical answer and a legal answer to the question. I don't know if there is a 'right' answer since multi-user installations of titles that are technically possible under NetBoot may not be allowed legally under the user license agreement you committed to on breaking the seal on the software. And these agreements are different for different countries.
Here's the technial answer. Sometime before OSX server 10.0, when Apple introduced netboot technology, developers were advised not to perform network scans checking for duplicate serial numbers when aps start up.
In practice this means you can install software title on your image, activate with a serial number, and it will not conflict with the other identical versions of the same application on other images on the network.
FileMaker Pro is the only software I am aware of that doesn't play by these rules, altthough it no longer checks when the applicaton starts, but when any FMPro network activity is started.
Here's the leagl answer. It depends on the title and the country you are in. The legality is definded under the eulas for the titles concerned. I don't know if the leaglity has ever been tested in a court of law in any country in this context.
The easy way to do the right thing for some titles it to purchase a multi-user serial number, ie. a single number which will work for 5 or 10, 20, 50... etc. users. Fore example, FileMaker has a volume licensing serial number which I beleieve can be purchased in increments of 10 users. However, not all titles offer this option, though, and it's difficult if you need 12 copies and have to buy 20.
Sassafras software http://www.sassafras.com/ sells Keyserver, which may be an appropriate solution. Keyserver tracks installations and authenticates serial numbers to ensure no more than the licensed number of copies can be run at the same time.
I don't think I've answerede your question for you but hope to have expanded the contxt of the question for other suggestions.
Good luck,
b.

Question about evictor, application performance, and log growth

Hello,
I've got an application that using two BDB environments, one with critical data and one with data that can be reconstructed, just for the sake of backup convenience. For a while, I was getting OutOfMemoryErrors with increasing frequency. This caused the app to crash without closing the databases or the environment until the recovery time was around 30 minutes. After reading through many of the posts here and trying various workarounds, I got to a state where that stopped happening. I think that what did that fixed is was decreased the cache sizes.
Then, I was seeing what appeared to be evictor deadlocks. The application would hang for thirty minutes before a monitoring script that I've got would detect that no work was being done and would restart the application. Another round of searching ensued and I seem to have gotten it to a state where it doesn't run out of memory or deadlock anymore.
After getting rid of all these issues and letting it run for four or five days, the size of one of the critical BDB environment was 550GB. Since it was almost filling the drive, I moved it aside and created a new BDB for the app to use. Now, I'm trying to figure out what happened. It looks like the BDB contains about 15G of actual data.
It seems like everything starts out fine and then, somehow, it starts to collapse under the weight of itself. I'd like to figure out what type of abuse I may be guilty of that could cause this.
Here's a little bit about my application:
First (critical) BDB environment:
- add only, no deletes
- two databases
- average data sizes are 1k and 11k respectively
- average key sizes are around 80 and 16 bytes respectively
- almost no locality of reference to access pattern in either
- minimal lookups, mostly used as an archive
- cache size is 1MB
- 8 threads reading/writing, 40 threads reading only
Second (reconstructable) BDB environment:
- six databases
- five databases are mostly add with purges of two-week-old data
- one database has frequent adds and deletes
- lots of lookups, things are likely to be looked up shortly after they're added
- cache size is 64MB
- 40 threads reading/writing
On both environments,I've set je.evictor.forcedYield=true.
I'm running the JVM with:
-Xmx1800m
-Dje.adler32.chunkSize=8192
-XX:+UseMembar
JVM version is:
java version "1.6.0_01"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_01-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0_01-b06, mixed mode)
BDB version is 3.2.23
OS/Kernel is:
Linux app2 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Feb 16 17:17:21 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
So, my question is:
What could cause the critical database (especially with no deletes) to grow to 550GB when there's only 15GB of data in it? It was my understanding that the cleaner should take care of any unused log file cruft. It seems like the log files grow faster as the performance gets worse. I have no idea which is the cause or the effect.
And, I guess the real question is how can I prevent this in the future?
Thanks,
-Justin

For the record, the problem was that the user's cache size was too small for the size of the database thereby creating a large number of records in the log when eviction of dirty records occurred. The cleaner was unable to keep up with the log load.
Note to readers: eviction of dirty records causes records to be written to the log. JE has to evict to somewhere and the log is what it uses.

Questions about Real Application Testing(RAT)

Hi All,
We have a production database running on 10gR3 on a server with local drives, while we have a Oracle 11gR2 DB running on a server with NFS mounts (using S7310 - AmberRoad) i.e. Faster and better storage.
We captured the load on 10gR3 and replayed it on 11gR2. We noticed the following:
(1) Replay is considerably slow even though Oracle11gR2 instance has a faster storage. We suspect that it may be something to do with the buffer cache / SGA because there is nothing in cache on the target (we didn't shutdown 10gR2 DB for capture) – what should we do then?
(2) To make sure that we can take the advantage of cache, we replayed the load 2nd time right after the 1st replay and everything ran to our surprise. So we are wondering how’s that possible since we did not restore the DB as we do not want to wipe off the cache (chicken and egg situation)? Does Oracle rollback the changes after the replay?
(3) Do we have to restore database on Target every time we do replay? But if we do that then we won't have anything in the SGA.
So we need your advise and also would like to know how everyone else is doing this testing?
Regards,
RJiv.

DB Replay's workload capture facility allows you to either start capture from a closed (mounted) database (capture starts upon opening the DB), or to begin capture mid-stream during normal activity. Starting capture on the production system from a closed database eliminates the divergence in performance resulting from a primed cache, as well as possible data divergence issues from open, partially-completed transactions at the time the capture started.
For many customers, it will clearly not be possible to close their database during peak periods (!!)
One way to address the cache priming issue is to start capture in production from a closed state during a low period of activity, and the allow capture to run through the peak period.
Another approach is to start capture mid-stream with the DB open and to run capture for a long period (long enough to stabilize the cache). When performing the replay, begin a new AWR snapshot after the cache has stabilized.
Your question about running the replay again after the first replay is done is confusing. Of course you will not get meaningful data from that, since replay must begin from the capture start SCN. If you run replay twice in a row without reverting the database to the capture start SCN, it will be applying meaningless changes to a database in a state that is unlike that of the original. You will be testing the data errors codepath instead of real performance.
It is typical to enable database flashback on the repay database so that it can be repeatedly reverted to the capture start SCN for testing under a variety of scenarios.

Question about Messages application and AIM.

Hello, I purchased my first apple device last year (iphone) at which point I created an iCloud account and received an @me email address. This is also my Apple ID. Later in the year Apple also gave me an @icloud email like everyone else. I am enjoying my iphone very much and this year I decide to purchase my first os x device (macbook) soon. This is what leaves me to my following questions:
1. I wish to use the Messages application just for iMessage and not AIM or any other IM service. It is my understanding that about 2 years ago .mac and mobileme users were having AOL create Lifestream profiles for them without pemission. Now I have never been a .mac or mobileme user and only signed up icloud last year as previously stated. I just want to know if AOL is still creating these profiles and if they affect icloud users? I could not find any information about this issue being resolved. Would using the Messages applicaton just for imessage have the risk of having my icloud email have a Lifestream profile created for it?
2. I am aware that when setting up my macbook for the first time it will ask to sign in to with your apple id and then into icloud. I plan to do this. I am told that this will make me signed into imessage automatically in the Messages application. What I want to know is if this will make me sign into AIM automaticlly too? I have no intention of ever using AIM so I hope this is not the case.
I hope I have made myself clear as English is not my fist language. Any help with these questions is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
The last bit first.
iChat was the application used before Mountain Lion and Messages.
It could only join the AIM, Jabber and in iChat 6 the Yahoo services.
These are Instant Messaging services so the text sent between you and a Buddy tend to be referred to as IMs.
The AIM site I linked to above has an Option (when you can log in there) that allows your to turn this AIM feature Off.
Some Jabber servers can do it but it tends to be an option the person running the Jabber decides to do or not.
If a Server is set up to allow Off Line Messaging then those have to be stored.
These can a concern for the person running the server; either with storage space in the first place and for issues around governments want to "see" the data.
A part of the iChat and Messages apps perform a "Listening" function when you turn your computer On but do not launch the App.
This Listening will start up the App if anyone send you an iMessage and AIM or Jabber message.
However this function of Messages can be turned Off.
This pic was created for something else but you can see the second line down is about setting the Status to Offline when the App is Quit.
This effectively stops the App doing the Listening.
Back to the Lifestream issue.
I am not sure what triggers the Lifestream to be set up.
I used a Search on the Lifestream site for my main AIM Name (which I can set the Lifestream to Privacy > No-one) and for my @me.com one which I cannot log in to the AIM settings site.
I cannot see anything returned in either case.
I also tried when Logged in under my main AIM name and got this form my @me.com ID
I think that when AOL/AIM started Lifestream all those people that had AIM and AIM valid Screen Names were included in Lifestream.
It may now be different and you may have to sign up for it.
There seems to be a set up page.
It would seem that my @me.com ID and @icloud.com ID have not been set up for Lifestream where as my AIM account (Main AIM Name as I call it) was set up in the beginning.
I am afraid I don't have any clearer information than that on this part of your enquiry.

Question about bundling application in Netbeans

Hi All,
My question is regarding bundling an application in netbeans? At present I have my application all working fine when I build and clean or run the application within Netbeans.
Sweet so far! However the standalone JAR that is created each time when I run or build / clean my app does not work. OK I found the problem why the JAR does not work. But what
I am not sure about is how to do the following in Netbeans?
See the problem is that my application reads in a small file containing core application information for my programme upon start up. How do I get Netbeans to recognise this file and
create the appropiate path under the "dist" folder each time I do a NEW build / clean or run my app within Netbeans? Is there a location where I can perform this setting in Netbeans?
Or do I have to modify some file generated by Netbeans?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Kind Regards

Questions about database application tables connector

Hi all,
I need to manage with OIM several databases (each one with its custom tables).
Also, one of them will be my trusted target on the initial load of users. The structure of our tables is not similar to the included in the example.
The documentation explains how the OraAppX.xml could be modified but it doesn't speak about relations with "DBTable_nonTrusted.xml" and/or "DBTable_trusted.xml" For example, if I don't have a column called USR_COMM_LANG, could I replace this column name for another that I have in my database ? And what about the references on the "DBTable_nonTrusted.xml" file. Connector doc doesn't explain how references to that field (USR_COMM_LANG---xel_usr_comm_lang) are managed by the connector and if the normal working of the connector could be affected if the name of a variable is changed in the xml conf file.
It could be that adapters of this connector were hardcoded with the referece to xel_usr_comm_lang (???) .
The connector documentation includes a section titled "Adding Custom Database Columns for Provisioning and Reconciliation". The first impression reading this document is that it is possible to extend the predefined table rather than create and define a new structure of table.
Has anyone rebuilt the "DBTable_nonTrusted.xml", "DBTable_trusted.xml" and "OraAppX.xml" files changing all default variables in order to manage a customized table? .
Many thanks in advance,
Claudia

Hi Claudia,
1) Yes, you must replace the column names in the "column" tag on your XML file for the column names that you have in your database tables. Also, remember that you need to configure the other parameters (like data_type, data_typ_size, etc) according to your database table.
2) The "xel_data_source" parameter is the attribute name that will be recognized by the OIM and they can be mapped to a form field (UD_DBAPP_XXXX) in your process definition in OIM Design Console.
3) You can customize your Database Application Tables connector for provisioning as you wish, but some issues exists. In the Known Issues section of the documentation you can see that this connector doesn't work for more than two tables.
4) To customize your Database Application Tables for Trusted Recon, there are other restrictions because OIM users have some required fields that must be filled to create a user successfully.
Hope that helps, and please let me know if you have more questions.
Regards.
