Adding a 9124e to an existing 9509 Switch

Guys:
Config info:
I have a HP C class blade enclosure, with 2 new 9124e's in it. I need to activate it,and figure on doing the following:
Define 2 T ports on the 9124e, and connect them, to 2 Fx ports on the 9509.(1 9124 to each 9509 for redundancy)
Here are my questions:
1) I am thinking that once the ports are connected and activated, the 9509 will propogate the existing config over to the 9124e, and I will modify the zone defs copied into the 9124e, and then activate the zoneset in the 9124e. Is that correct?
2) What happens when I activate the zone (zone 10 copied from 9509-1) in the new 9124e switch? Will it activate the zone in the 9509 also?
3) Since the 9124e has no Flash card, do I make the changes, copy the config to startup-config on the 9124e? will the changes be propogated to the 9509?
4) If the changes are copied to the 9509, do I login to the 9509, and copy the active config to the 9509's startup-config and flash drive?
Are there any other issues I am missing? Sorry for the questions, but any info will be a HUGE help.
Thanks

You can connect 9124 to 9509, though there is principal switch selection, the principal switch plays a role only during adding different switches and assigning or managing the domain ids. If you give static domain ids (different ones for each switch you add), then role of principal switch is very less.
It is better to have username/passwords (snmp/cli) synced across all the switches, so that from FM you can manage all switches in the fabric.
Having different username/password does not affect FC traffic and you could still activate a zoneset on a vsan from a switch you have permission, the zoneset active/full (based on config) will get distributed to multiple switches.
If the ISL is broken, then switches will operate standalone, providing access to locally connected devices.

Unable to open 2 9509 switches at the same time in Cisco Device Manager

Dear Friends,
There are a pair of MDS 9509 switches whose management addresses are 172.16.2.197 and 172.16.2.198.
When we try to manage these Devices through Cisco device manager, the first device opens up without any problem, but when the second 9509 is opened in Cisco Device Manager, it fails giving the following error message:
"Open udp transport failed: Address already in use: Cannot bind"
To get around this issue, if we close the first interface to the 9509 switch, then we are able to open up the second 9509 in Device Manager.
We have this problem only in Cisco device manager. If we open one switch in Cisco device manager and the other switch in Cisco Fabric Manager, it works.
Also, we can telnet to both the devices successfully at a time.
The device manager in use is 4.1.
Please find enclosed the sh version outputs for your kind reference.
Can you please help me understand the cause of this issue?
Thanks a lot
Gautam

Is it always the same MDS that fails to open, or can you open either one first, and then the second one poses the problem (no matter which one is second)?
Can you try from a second work station and see if you can open DM to both switched at the same time? I suspect the address it is complaining about is the local workstation IP, not the MDS IP.
If you open the FM map, then you click on the MDS ICONs, can you open DM to both MDS?

Problem adding a new field to existing BPS planning layout

Hi
I am new to BPS and planning
I have a requirement to add a new field which has values maintained as 0 and 1 to an existing planning cube.The user wants this new field in the existing planning layout where in he can enter the values for this field as 0 or 1.I have created a new field and maintained values for this field as 0 and 1.I have added this field to the existing planning area and have created variable with fixed value with range 0 to1.I have added the same in selections in existing planning level and package as well along with other existing selection conditions.
In additional functions of adhoc package they have made setting as set to all possible char combination.
In this planning area all the selections are locked in planning level and package.
Now when i execute the planning layout to enter data,my new field is grayed out,it does not allow me to enter the values.need help with this as to how can i make this field input enabled.This is an independent characteristic.
Thanks

My iPHONE added a 1 to all existing messages. So none my contacts are linked in my messages or in recent contacts??

My iPHONE added a 1 to all existing messages. So none my contacts are linked in my messages or in recent contacts??

If you are a Verizon user, try this:
Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom. Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
Wait a 3-5 minutes.
Open the Message App to see if they're fixed.

How to install software on MDS 9509 Switch

Hi,
One of our MDS 9509 switches has died. This used to be supported externally but has now been brought in house. A replacement box is due to arrive soon but I will nee to update the software to the same version that the old box was using and apply the config.
What procedure should I follow to do this? I've downloaded the following kickstart and image files ready to ftp across to the new box.
m9200-ek9-kickstart-mz.3.3.5a.bin m9200-ek9-kickstart-mz.3.3.5a.bin
is it simply a case of running the install all command?
Thanks
Darren

Also you will need to install license same as on old and restore config. Hope you had config backup somewhere. Additionally you will have to update port security schemes (if configured). Once all done, look for any zone merging errors or conflicts.
Good luck,

Added new parm to an existing SQL stored procedure CR 11 doesn't like it

Hi
I have added a new parameter to an existing SQL stored procedure (SQL 2000). This stored procedure is currently being called from a Crystal XI report. It prompts for a date which works great. (The report was created with this parameter). I added a new parameter to the stored procedure. When I do a preview in Crystal, it prompts for the new parameter, but is NULL when I look at the SQL query and it brings back no data. If I try to verify the database, it tells me that I am missing parameter @ProcessType (varchar(5))--(name of new parameter). I have physically added this parameter to the crystal report with the select expert and still no luck. I have already tried renaming the procedure but am unable to update datasource location because of this parameter. The report is very detailed and I do NOT want to create a new report.

Unfortunately, I have tried and retried to do this. Nothing changes. I usually would get a message like database has changed, proceeding to fix report. I don't get this. It merely tells me database is up to date and only returns the 1 parameter, yet when I go to the datasouce and try to update it, it tells me that I have not supplied the new parameter.
I have tried everything, from closing Crystal reports and then going so far as to reboot my machine, just in case their was some kind of caching going on.
I have even asked other people I work with to look at it to make sure I am not doing something dumb...

Adding data file to the existing tablespace given wrong format file name

Hi
while adding the data file existing tablespace. i given wrong format '/dev/oracle/data/user_data_02' i miss the .dbf extension for this data file.
Alter tablespace ts2 add datafile '/dev/oracle/data/user_data_02' size 200m
the data file was created.
So i want to know. What will happen if the data file is wrong format?
Thanks in advance

it doesnt matter what you name the file. oracle will be able to use it. if you need to change the name to meet your naming conventions, then you will need to take the db down and rename the file at the OS level and then startup mount to rename the file at the DB level.
why are you puting files in /dev? Thats for devices.

Adding new column in an existing report which was build using Union

While working in OBIEE 11g I encounter an issue.
My existing report was build using UNION at Criteria Tab in Analysis. Now I have a requirement to add a new column into the same report. For each criteria I have added the new column but when I go back to the "Result Columns". I see a new field added but it is not allowing me to open or edit column properties for that new column & at the same time it is not allowing me to navigate to other tabs like Results, Promts, and Advanced.
I don’t want to build this report from scratch. Is there any workaround to get it resolved?

Hi,
Just check it once the new added column data types are mismatched or not?
and the new added column should be navigated into excluded section, so u should edit the report and dragged into the table column section.
Thanks..

Error when adding a schema to an existing workspace

I am trying to add an existing schema to my workspace, and am getting ORA-20001: Error with: GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_RLS TO BILLING ORA-01031: insufficient privileges. I tried logging in as sys and granting that privilege, and it worked. However, going back to the workspace, I still did not see the new schema listed.
The user and tables have all been created in the database. The BILLING schema showed up in the available schemas to add to the workspace. I have also tried adding a new schema to the workspace. The BILLING2 schema was created, but I received the same error when it tried to add it to the workspace.
Is there a grant or user that could be missing? I am using HTMLDB 2.0.
Thanks!

Change Pointers - adding a new field to existing Change Document

Hi,
We have a requirement to capture the changes made to the Material object through the transaction C223. The changes to field MKAL-PRFG_F have to be captured.
There is an exisitng Change Document Object - MATERIAL. This is included in Message Type MATMAS. These are the steps we have done:
1. In SCDO - added the Z structure to the Change Document Object - Material. [Z structure contains the field MKAL-PRFG_F. Change pointer option is checked for this Data element.
2. Created a Z Message Type with reference as MATMAS.
3. In BD52 - we have listed the fields for the new Z Message Type created.
4. The Change Pointers - reactivated after the steps are done.
The changes to the field MKAL-PRFG_F through C223 Tcode are not recorded in BDCPV table.
Have we missed any steps here?
Thanks,
Pallavi

HI,
I don't think a new zmessage type is required in this case.. is the structure added to MARA table??The change document programs are there which triggers the iodcs... In SCDO transaction code , click on generation info for MATERIAL.. You will find the includes. The FM MATERIAL_WRITE_DOCUMENT creates entries in CDHDR and CDPOS, if we maintain entries in BD52 , the entries wil be written in BDCP and BDCPS tables.
Try to add your structure in MARA table as append strucre and then you can debug the IDOC from WE19 and use the FM "MASTERIDOC_CREATE_SMD_MATMAS" and then you also need to switch on Update Debugging on, to debug the changes in update FM MATERIAL_WRITE_DOCUMENT.
Please see if the change is reflected or not....
ELSE.
may be you need to create a new entry in SCDO and do all the ALE configurations for change pointers.
Please find the link for change pointers and also you can get lot of information on change pointers in SCN.

Adding a folder to an existing disco report adds unnecessary table joins

Hello,
I have recently created a new disco folder and adding it to existing reports is causing the reports to error out after running for ever. When I had a look at the SQL inspector, what is happening is that a table ( which was already on the report prior to my amendments and is the table my new folder joins to) is being queried twice. When i build the query from scratch using exactly the same folders, this issue does not happen. The users are used to the already existing reports and all they want to do is add extra information from this new folder. It would be a big ask to expect them to build new reports from scratch. Kindly get back to me with any ideas. I am going to try to change my registry settings and see if it makes a difference

No, the new folder is made up of only one table. The table that is being replicated is the underlying table of a folder by nre folder joins to and already exists in my report. This is the scenario: My current report has the personal details and address tables. I am now adding a folder that brings in the job details into the report

Creating a new schema or adding some more tables in existing schema ??

Hi All,
We have a new requirement from the client asking us to include a few new functionalities(pages--- all together a new application has to be embedded into our application) in our application. By adding these new functionalities, the number of hits to our application can be doubled.
As per the above requirement, I would like to know that whether to create a new schema or to create some new tables in the existing database for the new functionalities.
By what way, can I handle the number of requests in a better way? by creating the new schema or by creating the new tables for the new functionalities.
Also I would like like to know what kind of factors will differ between creating a new schema or creating new tables for the new functionalities in the existing schema.
FYI... We are using Cold Fusion as front-end and Oracle 9i for back-end

This the forum for Oracle's SQL Developer tool. You will get better answers in the Database - General forum.
The short answer is that from a performance point of view there will be no difference. The issues are more to do with maintenance.

Implications of adding new key fields to existing table

Hi All,
I have searched forum regarding this. But didn't find exact answer.
We are planning to add new key fields to existing Ztable. I want to know the implications of this.
I have checked the where used list of table and found no impact. Only one point is making me to think again and again.
If we add key fields to existing table then we have to adjust the table from SE14 to activate it. But this adjustment doesn't ask for TR.
So if i release my TR, entries in other systems will also be adjusted accordingly??? Business is OK with the new fields values to be blank for existing entries.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Yes the data in transported systems will also be adjusted. If this table contains too much data make transport at late hours because it will take long and table can't be used while it's adjusted. In this adjustment process data is copied to a temporary table and moved back to original table using move-corresponding command after key added. There will data loss if you remove a key or key fields field length but in your case it shouldn't be a problem.

Adding New Dimension In An Existing Cube (Block)

Hi fellows,
Im not an expert so need you feedback.
I am supporting a cube that was built a decade ago using Essbase 6.5. It has 7 dimensions (3 dense, 4 sparse). With the new reporting requirement, I need to add a new dimension to be called "BaseTimePeriod" that seems like a Time dimension but will show the "Constant Dollar" amount calcuation for difference Scenarios.
Since the cube has been there for so long, and the expert that has pioneered that cube is no longer in the company. All of our reports uses API being called in MS Excel to retrieve data from the cube and format it the way the users wanted it to be. As well as 75% of our data are user input using the Essbase Excel Add-in, "lock/send" commands.
My problem now is that, since I need to introduce another dimension for the "Constant Dollar" calculation, is there any way that if I add a new dimension the existing process of uploading data by the users as well as retrieving data through Excel API will not be affected?
I tried to add new dimension in the R&D server that we have when I try to retrieve historical data from the cube in the Excel since there is "BaseTimePeriod" dimension before, the Excel report layout gets affected and inserts a new row placing "BaseTimePeriod" in that cell since this not yet there before. And when I try to upload data through Excel Add-in "lock/send" action, it did allow me unless I put a member from the "BaseTimePeriod" to complete the dimension member combination.
My questions now are:
1) How can I add a new dimension without impact from the historical data?
2) Is there any way to place a default value for the new dimension for the historical data so it would complete the dimension member combination, so whenever I retrieve and upload data there will be no problem?
Any insights related to this questions is highly appreciated. Thanks!

If you add the new dimension to a cube that already has data, you should get a prompt when you save the outline to associate the existing data with a member from the new dimension. You will then go into a dense restructure which could take a while, depending on the size of your database. Another option would be to export your data in column format and load it into a relational table in something like SQL or Access, you can then add the new dimension to the export in the relational tool, export it back out to a text file and use a load rule to reload it.
As far as the lock & send and existing reports, in most cases, adding a new dim will result in all of those needing to be updated. This is why we try not to add new dims to existing cubes, especially ones that have been around a while.
Another thing to consider is the impact of adding a new dim. I don't know the size of your existing database, but you are going to increase it by adding a new dim and things like consolidation time and retrievals can be impacted, so you need to test all of this.
You should evaluate why you need a new dim and determine if you can achieve the same result without adding a new dim. While a new dim might be the preference in a new cube design, when dealing with something that has been around a while you might want to be creative and somewhat more compromising if it is the lesser of two evils. If everyone is committed to a rebuild then go ahead and rebuild especially if it's been around a while, there are probably other things that can stand to be cleaned up as well, but if nobody wants to deal with that, then look to see if you can get their without adding a new dim, perhaps a new roll up in a existing dim or an attribute dim. A more thorough explanation of what the business case is would help to provide an alternate solution.
