5.1 Admin Console and Excel 2007

We previously had Excel 2003 and are in the process of upgrading to 2007. We are getting errors making changes to dimensions in the admin console. Whenever we try to process a dimension, we get an error that says "external table is not in the expected format". Is it possible to set up the 5.1 Admin console to work with Excel 2007?
Thanks,
Blake

Dear Blake Thomas,
Of course, You could use the Ms.Excel 2007 in BPC Admin Console and BPC Excel. One thing you should to know, you should to upgrade your SAP BPC 5.1 with latest SP before. Please you download the latest SP in website SAP marketplace [http://service.sap.com/instguidesEPM-BPC] . If you have upgraded it, you will see the window of confirmation which will ask you use Ms.Excel 2003 or Ms.Excel 2007 for once

How do I create admin console users with full access to configuration and the directory in every instance?

I want to be able to create directory user ID for the iPlanet administrators. They should be able to access the admin console and all the instances created. They should be able to configure each instance and directory. I was able tocreate Admin Server Administrators but they were only able to modify the directory(tab) and not the configurations(tab). Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Keith

Hi Keith,
In o=netscaperoot, edit the static group called cn=Configuration Administrators, ou=Groups, ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot - this group contains the admins peer to your config admin. Since the console is quirky and doesn't let you add in users not in netscaperoot, just click advanced and put in the full dn of whoever you want in by hand, e.g., uid=scarter, ou=people, dc=mydomain,dc=com as a static member. then rebind to the console with the full dn and passwd, and away you go :)

Weblogic 10, WLST and Admin Console Classpath Exceptions

I've been deploying an application to Weblogic 10 (not 10.3 from Oracle, the last version under the BEA logo) for a few weeks now without a problem. We're going to upgrade to 10.3 from Oracle in our development environment and play around with that hopefully today but I can't imagine a dot-version being much different so I figured I'd post the issue anyway.
Recently, we've been having some issues with the WLST script we use to deploy/redeploy the application. It seems to have just started happening randomly which is odd because the script has not been modified since the get-go. What's happening is the application is compiled, staged and then the WLST script kicks off, log into the application server, looks to see if the app is already deployed, if it is, it redploys it with the latest code and then starts it up and then exits. Every now and again, the next time we go to deploy the application, the WLST fails saying that someone currently has a lock on the admin console. When we log in to the admin console, we see that the user the WLST script uses to log into the admin console currently has a lock on the console and we have the option to take the lock from this user.
When we click the button to take the lock, we get a HUGE exception in the lefthand panel where the Lock & Edit button typically is that says something along the lines of:
Error opening ...
The source of this error is javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactoryConfigurationError: Provider net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl not found at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletStubImpl.execute(ServletStubImpl.java:324) at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletStubImpl.execute(ServletStubImpl.java:175) at weblogic.servlet.internal.RequestDispatcherImpl.invokeServlet(RequestDispatcherImpl.java:528) at weblogic.servlet.internal.RequestDispatcherImpl.include(RequestDispatcherImpl.java:454) at org.apache.beehive.netui.pageflow.scoping.internal.ScopedRequestDispatcher.include(ScopedRequestDispatcher.java:119) at com.bea.netuix.servlets.controls.content.JspContent.beginRender(JspContent.java:551) at ...
If I click on the 'Home' button along the upper righthand corner to go back to the home page of the admin console, the error goes away, the 'Activate Changes' button reappears, and then I click that and the Lock & Edit button reappears, then if I go back to my WLST script and run it, it runs successfully. If I log back into the admin console, everything appears normally. This happens intermittently and I'm not sure why it's happening some times and not others. If my WLST script is incorrect I would assume it would behave this way EVERY time.
I also don't get why the xml transformer factory SOMETIMES throws the exception and sometimes it doesn't. It also happens when I try to click on a JDBC data source. Same exact exception is thrown on the default configuration tab, if I click on any of the other tabs available after clicking on my JDBC data source, those all appear fine, just the initial default Configuration > General tab shows this huge exception. If I stop and restart the application server, these exceptions magically go away...the odd thing is this exception being thrown seems to be referencing libraries made available by my deployed application (the whole net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl class is in a library we deploy with our application). These jar files containing these libraries should ONLY be available to the deployed application, I'm not putting these files on the classpath of the application server, so why the application server's admin console have any knowledge of these libraries? Could these be mucking with the overall functionality of the admin server's behavior?
Here is my WLST script I use the deploy the application. If you see something wrong with it, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Any thoughts on the whole classpath of my application being used by the Weblogic Admin console would be helpful too.
WLST Script:
connect("merlin", "merlin595")
# check to see if the apb data source exists and if so, make sure it's targeting the AdminServer
try:
     # Either deploy or redeploy application
     try:
          print 'Checking for the existence of the APB application.'
          cd('/AppDeployments/apbEar')
          print 'The APB application will be redeployed.'
          progress=redeploy('apbEar')
          print 'Status of redeployment: ' + progress.getState()
     except WLSTException:
          print 'The APB application has not yet been deployed to this server, so application will be deployed for the first time now.'
          progress=deploy(appName='apbEar', path='/opt/weblogic/merlinpb/merlinpbEar/apbEar', targets='AdminServer')
          print 'Status of initial deployment: ' + progress.getState()
     # Start application
     try:
          print 'Starting APB application'
          startApplication(appName='apbEar')
     except WLSTException:
          pass
     disconnect()
     print 'End of script, exiting WLST...'
     exit()
except WLSTException:
     print 'Could not deploy apb. Please log into the admin console and attempt the deployment manually.'
Oh, one final thing I've noticed when I use this script. The last thing the script says WHEN it actually runs successfully is:
<Nov 13, 2008 10:57:13 AM EST> <Warning> <JNDI> <BEA-050001> <WLContext.close() was called in a different thread than the one in which it was created.>
Why does it say that? What does that mean? Is my script mot structure correctly above?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

Hey Mike,
The problem I was experiencing was that we had code that was applying an XSL stylesheet against XML we are getting from the database. In order for this stylesheet to work, we had to set code that does the following:
System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory", "net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl");
Now the first time this code was called, and someone subsequently went to the Weblogic admin console, the screens would be completely unreachable...we were experiencing loads of compilation errors. So I did some digging and tried various other ways to set the TransformerFactory class that wouldn't affect the system as a whole. I found, by sheer luck, the fact that you can set this parameter in the weblogic-application.xml file located in the META-INF directory of your root EAR folder. The very first element in the XML of my weblogic-application.xml file is now:
<wls:xml>
     <wls:parser-factory>
          <wls:transformer-factory>net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl</wls:transformer-factory>
     </wls:parser-factory>
</wls:xml>
I now deploy the application with this and my reports are transformed properly and the admin console and command-line WLST scripts are all working uninterrupted as well without any adverse side-effects. Hope that helps. Just an aside, in preparation for the upgrade to WLS10, I restructured our application to a split development directory structure...this structure in combination with Workshop 10 really has made development and deployment much easier.
Best of luck. Cheers!

How to set JNDI variable and update in Admin Console

I want to create a JNDI variable in weblogic admin console and then I want to update that for different environment.
I have a string variable which I want to use in my application through JNDI.
I did create environment variable in web.xml and I was able to access that in my application with JNDI name java:comp/env/roles/listOfRoles
But I want update this JNDI variable through console.

Hi,
Please refer to the following Article: http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=1809
And the following Thread as well: Looks Big Time BUG:WebLogic 10.3 Anybody can Crash it Anytime. Beware !!!!
WebLogic Does not provide any Option in AdminConsole to add a New JNDI Name entry. Through AdminConsole u can only see the JNDI tree.
Thanks

After making manual changes in obj.conf, have you tried clicking the 'Apply' link in admin console and then choosing 'Load configuration Changes' option?

Switching off DEBUG messages in the admin console

Hi
I have the problem that I see a lot of debug information on the log when starting the admin console and navigation through the pages. It makes the admin console VERY slow. This must be some sort of low level debug stuff which I'm not able to witch off.
I already made sure that debugging is switched off for the server (AdminConsole->Debug) and no diagnostic options are turned on. I also checked for a debug command line option in the start script.
Some example debug output:
DEBUG struts.util.PropertyMessageResources (PropertyMessageResources.java:284) - Saving message key '.assistant.jms.server.resumeconsumption.title
DEBUG util.logging.Logger (Logger.java:118) - Delegating to RequestDispatcher for URI /jsp/contentheader/Messages.jsp
Thank for any hints!

You could add a dynamic text field to your app, add it to the stage and send notifications for whatever you need to debug.
e.g. Just as you would use the trace("this message "+variableValue); in Flash to debug using the output window.
You would use
textfield_name.appendText("this message "+variableValue+"\n");
or if you were listening for error you could use something like:
private function errorXML(e:Event):void {
textfield_name.appendText("XML Error:"+ e);
I'm not sure how or if you can utilise the Xcode organiser with an AIR app.

Multiple instances of jobs showing in Data Services Admin Console

When running jobs, there are multiple instances of the job showing in the admin console and when viewing any of the logs they are not associated with that job. We have had this in the past, and, I believe, it relates to an internal counter in one of the AL_* table which has wrapped to the start and this causes the admin console to see broken/cartesian joins and display multiple instances. However, I now cannot find how to resolve this. Any help would be appreciated.

what is the version of DS/DI ? what is DS/DI Repositroy Database Type
did you manually delete data from AL_HISTORY table ?

This classs is usually found in server\lib\wlng\wlng-management.jar, make sure it has that class and that jar is getting loaded by the server.

Why do I get timeout when deploying SQL Server data source in Weblogic Admin Console?

Hi all
I'm attempting connectivity between WLS 10.3.6.0 and SQL Server 2008R. I've downloaded sqljdbc4.jar and added to the end of the Weblogic Classpath in commEnv.cmd. Then I set up a data source in Admin Console and pressed the Test Data Source button - success. But when I tick the box to deploy to AdminServer it hangs for ages and I get timeout exception.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
James

Make sure the web server settings between the QA and the Production servers are also compatible.
I suspect your suspecion about permissions is the closest to the answer. But this is a little out of my depth of expertise.
Realize that ColdFusion default behavior is to NOT generate and actual swf FILE. Rather what it does is generate the swf content in memory and directly deliver it to the client. But if the web server is configured to look for an actual file system file you may have a clash going on

Configure Managed Server from Admin Console - Java arguments

Hi There;
I am configuring a managed server from the admin console and the one item that me up is when I add the following into the Arguments sections:
-Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=oracle.mds.net.protocol'|'oracle.fabric.common.classloaderurl.handler'|'oracle.fabric.common.uddiurl.handler'|'oracle.bpm.io.fs.protocol.
Note The command line script used double quotes (") but the console gave an error - Arguments may not contain '"' This sounded reasonable so I switched the double quotes to single quotes.
Switching to single quotes allowed me to bypass the error.
The managed server fails when I start it from the console:
Error message:
oracle.fabric.common.classloaderurl.handler ' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.- it is like it ignores the values after the single quotes and fials.
How can I configure this parameter?
note: I am running weblogic 10.3.6 on widows 2008. it is a SOA Managed Server I am trying to setup to run from the Admin Console.
J

Try leaving out the quotes
-Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=oracle.mds.net.protocol|oracle.fabric.common.classloaderurl.handler|oracle.fabric.common.uddiurl.handler|oracle.bpm.io.fs.protocol
