Admin Services - Data Prep Editor: Save, Open, Open Data File - Hangs

The problem is that whever I try to Open, Open Data File or Save while in Data Prep Editor, the Admin Console Hangs. It shows as Responding in the task manager, but the screen turns grey (hangs) and the admincon.exe process is constant at about 50% CPU.
I don't know what is going on? Is there possibly some corrupt disk area on my PC? I checked everyone on forums, tried to find the answer, but no info is availabe? I re-installed to JRE 1.5, I checked the java environmental variables. I did so much, but nothing has worked.
At first I thought it might have been some 9.3.1 bug, so I unistalled 9.3.1 and installed EPM System 11; still same problem!!
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have a similar problem, when I try to open a data file, nothing happens.... app doesn't lock, just the file open dialog box never opens... I'm using 9.3.1, and the same problems happens, on EAS installed locally, Web client, and running EAS from the app server itself. The load rule works fine, I just can't see a data file in the prep editor. Any thoughts help are appreciated.

Cannot Open SQL from Data Prep Editor (SQL Interface)

Hi,
When I Open SQL in Data Prep Editor: "There are no data sources defined. Please create one to continue."
I create a ODBC connections using the drivers bellow and I obtain always the same message ("There are no data sources defined.."):
Oracle in OraDb10g_home2
Microsoft ODBC for Oracle
MERANT OEM 5.2 32-BIT Oracle
I have installed and configured Essbase, release 11.1.1.2
Is posible that the SQL interface is not installed and configured with the Essbase Server?
How I can install and configure the SQL Interface? I need to do somethink else?
Thanks!
Assia

Through EAS select the server and right click and select properties. then go to the environment tab(I think) it should show everything you are licensed for. If this is a System 9 or higher, you should have it automatically. If it is 7X or below,then yoes it has to be licensed

Substitution variable is not visible at Data Prep editor-creating rule file

Hi,
We are working on Essbase 9.3.1, Oracle as a database source for loading the data into Essbase.
We have create a substitution variable at "server level" to use it in rule file as a DSN for data source. But this substitution variable is not visible in the drop down of substitution variable in 'Data prep editor' while creating the rule file.
We restarted the Essbase server also but still it is not visible in 'data prep editor'.
Any help will appreciated on this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Mohit Jain

Cameron-
1) yes I've tried it on 2 different clients
2) yes I've tried it on the server
3) I haven't tried that, but don't normally use MaxL for anything
4) I took a 'broken' rule, saved it locally, closed and reopened and it still didn't work
5) I normally do files on the server, but I can't even get to that point because when I get the 'Open Data File' nothing happens, no dialog box pops up, so I don't get the chance to select the location
6) This is a production server and EAS is running as a service, so I'd have to test this one afterhours.
Because it happens on 3 separate PC's I'd eliminate bad EAS, since only some rules do it and others don't I'd think it could be corrupt rules, but it'll happen to new rules just as fast, and they still work just fine, so if that's the case I need to figure out what is corrupting them...
Network issues wouldn't surprise me, I get TCP/IP errors regularly saying I have to increase my net retry count, but I've tweaked with those settings tons... looks like those are really the database server is running out of memory even though I have 4GB physical 16MB Virtual memory (32 bit environment though... I do have the /3GB switch turned on)... I've had to scale my caches way back to allow certain databases to even function.
Thanks for your help.

Extending the columns in Data Prep Editor

Hi Gurus,
Is there any way to create more than 20 columns in Data Prep Editor.
Any help on this appreciable.
Thanks..

Hi,
just to be complete, I would like to add that a popular obstacle on creating a rules file with many columns is that if the last column does contain only NULL values (at least for the first N rows), it often doesn't show up in the data prep editor. This is a situation also described in other threads around here.
To solve this, just ensure that the LAST column in your data source doesn't contain any NULL values. Change the selection of the columns in your Rules Files in a order which ensures that columns with NULL values do not appear at the last column.
Hope this helps.

CR XI uses the wrong data field after save/close-open

I have a quite complex CR XI report (35 sections). It has 2 embedded sub-reports, connects via ODBC to Sybase, and uses a long and complex SQL statement as a Database Command. After a fairly small number of edits and saves (I guess between 10 and 20), I can no longer save it correctly. For example, if I add a particular text field from the command to be displayed. Run the report in the designer then all is well. But if I save the report and re-open it then the data field that I added has been replaced by another, totally different field. This process is repeatable!
I tried removing some unneeded fields from the Command SQL and that causes a DIFFERENT field to replace the one I select.
If I re-create the entire report from scratch (copy and paste from the u201Cbadu201D one) then the problem goes away for a few edits and saves; but then returns.
This is getting very frustrating, because it takes me the best part of a day to copy the report to a new one, including copying all of the formatting and formulae, and ensuring that every field and every section has the correct properties (suppress, new page etc) applied to it. In order to minimise the risk of it becoming corrupt I u201Csaveu201D infrequently, which can add to the frustration when things go wrong!
Has anyone got ANY ideas?
What can I do to prevent the corruptions?
Is there a better way to clone the report?
Does anyone know if CR 2008 would be any better?

Don,
Thanks again for your help. I think that you are misunderstanding the problem a bit. When I have the report open in the designer I can put the correct field on the designer surface (eg by dragging a field called u201CCustomerNameu201D from the Command in the u201CField Exploreru201D to an appropriate location). The report then functions perfectly when I refresh (F5) and view it in the u201CPreviewu201D tab, and I see the appropriate names. However If I close the designer and then re-open it, a DIFFERENT field, u201CCustomerBalanceu201D, is displayed both in the design view and the preview tab, and of course I see the numeric data for that incorrect field in the preview, where I expect to see a name. The same (incorrect) data is shown when the report is run and displayed via the web browser interface (not within the CR designer).
I have run and edited the same report on different PCs with the latest CR XI installed and on my PC with many different loads (eg just after re-boot and later in the day with many applications running) all with identical results, so I am confident that it is not resource related.
Similarly I donu2019t think it can be ODBC related, because it appears to occur when the report is saved, closed or opened. I am not saving data with the report. I have now tried using the DataDirect driver, but it will not connect to the Sybase ASA database on a remote server, because it complains that procedure sp_server_info is not found. This is only supported by Sybase ASE (not ASA).
There are a lot of conditional fields and sections and page breaks within the report, these are suppressed with an appropriate formula, but the underlying SQL is just passed one parameter and this is used to select an appropriate single data set (there is no hierarchical grouping or drill-down in this report). The error is there consistently whatever parameter value is used (i.e. it always displays a value in place of a name in the example above).
I have still not tried your stored procedure idea, partly because that will require another day to re-write the report. I might combine that with Jasonu2019s idea and make all display all data via formulae as a first step and then replace the underlying data with a stored procedure.
I have discovered a temporary work-around though. I have added more sub-reports (all take the same parameter value) and replaced whole sections with those sub reports, so I was able to remove quite a few data fields from the main SQL query, because these are now queried separately in the sub-reports. Itu2019s all working at the moment!

Data Prep Editor Error

I'm using Essbase 9.3.1. My problem is when I open a load rule, and try to "Open Data File" nothing happens, it's very strange. What makes this error even stranger is it works fine for some Load rules (I get the open file dialog box), but not others. It works fine when you create a new one, but then after you save the file and reopen the rule, it most likely won't work again. I've tried copying the rule, renaming the rule, moving it to a different application, all with no luck...
Any help is appreciated, this is getting frustrating very fast.

EPM11.1.1.1 Data Prep Editor Can't Display non-Unicode text

LANG=zh_CN.GBK
ESSLANG=SimplifiedChinese_China.MS936@Binary
I open data file, Chinese can not be displayed , but I can mannuly input Chinese.
Display unicode text is OK, cannot load, so I change cube to unicode mode, Load data is OK. but DIM(informatica) cannot see the unicode application.

Hi Bruce,
for GeoRaster themes you can define a specific pyramid level to render, or you can leave the pyramid level null on the theme definition, and in this case MapViewer calculates the best level to render. The second option is recommended as it avoids loading unnecessary data given the current display parameters. If you are seeing your image get blocked, most likely at this zoom level and up you have reached the highest pyramid level of the GeoRaster. Even in MapBuilder if you keep zoom in, you get a blocked image after reaching the highest resolution level.

How to continuous data acquisition and save to an excel file using vc++

Hi,
I’m trying to build an MFC application with MSVC++6, where I would continuously acquire
samples from 2 channels of a USB-6289. I’m using the DAQmx C functions. I use the following codes to continuously get data:
DAQmxErrChk(DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan(taskHandle,"Dev1/ai0,Dev1/ai1","",DAQmx_Val_Cfg_Default,-10.0,10.0,DAQmx_Val_Volts,NULL));
DAQmxErrChk(DAQmxReadAnalogF64(taskHandle,1000,-1,DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel,data,2000,&read,NULL));
        DAQmxErrChk
(DAQmxRegisterEveryNSamplesEvent(taskHandle,DAQmx_Val_Acquired_Into_Buffer,1000,0,EveryNCallback,NULL));
        DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxRegisterDoneEvent(taskHandle,0,DoneCallback,NULL));
static int32 EveryNCallback(TaskHandle taskHandle, int32 everyNsamplesEventType, uInt32 nSamples, void *callbackData)
   int32       error=0;
   char    errBuff[2048]={'\0'};
   static int totalRead=0;
   int32       read=0;
   float64     data[1000];
   // DAQmx Read Code
   DAQmxErrChk(DAQmxReadAnalogF64(taskHandle,1000,-1,DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel,data,2000,&read,NULL));
   if( read>0 ) {
   fflush(stdout);
       Error:
   if( DAQmxFailed(error) ) {
       DAQmxGetExtendedErrorInfo(errBuff,2048);
       DAQmxStopTask(taskHandle);
       DAQmxClearTask(taskHandle);
           return 0;
static int32 CVICALLBACK DoneCallback(TaskHandle taskHandle, int32 status, void *callbackData)
   int32   error=0;
   char    errBuff[2048]={'\0'};
   // Check to see if an error stopped the task.
   DAQmxErrChk (status);
Error:
   if( DAQmxFailed(error) ) {
       DAQmxGetExtendedErrorInfo(errBuff,2048);
           //MessageBox("errors in DoneCallBack");
       DAQmxClearTask(taskHandle);
       //MessageBox(errBuff);
   return 0;
I have two questions:
1. how to save the data into an excel file? Can anyone show me some sample codes please?
2.Are
the data acquired from the two channels simultaneously? If I set the
starting time at 0, sample frequency 1khz, can I directly multiply the
sample number by 0.001 to calculate time (as shown below)?
Time    channel1 channel2
0.001    d11           d21
0.002    d12           d22
Thank you!

Issues logging data - does not save the correct data

I am having 2 issues:
1. I am having issues with my logging occuring at the right time.
I have a few things occuring based on the state of 'Injection'. In the case of logging, the following needs to happen:
When injection is 'True' nothing should occur. When injection goes 'False', data logging should occur. If my injections are 'continuous' the boolean goes:
True, False, True, False. I would have 2 logging sessions during both 'False' occurrences. What appears to be happening is that the logging occurs during the 'True' state. I am not sure why.
2. The logging needs to save a certain amount of samples to the text file. If my 'False' state lasts for 1 second, I need to have 1000 samples. If 2seconds, 2000 seconds, if 1.5seconds, 1500 samples..you get the idea. At current I am only getting 100 samples at a time, at dt of .1
Code below:

belopsky wrote:
Thanks Dennis.
i seem to have issues w my UI updating when I specifiy samples to read. It appears to lag, which is OK, as long as the timing is still correct..
Can I acquire continuously, without specifing how many samples, but specify how many samples to read?
DAQmx Read will return the number of samples requested immediatly if they are available otherwise it will wait for the number of samples requested to be avilable and return the number of samples requested. This of course, means that the loop will only iterate no faster than "number of samples * Sample rate". (probably what you mistook for "Lag") IF the number of samples requested is not available before the timeout period DAQmx Read will return with the number of samples available and a timeout in the error cluster so your calling code can handle the exception intelegently. If the number of samples requested is -1 DAQmx Read returns the number of samples available now without waiting at all.
Clear?

CFBuilder, CF10 (multihoming) and admin services

Hi folks,
I am setting up a development server with 2 instances of coldfusion running (cfusion + instance0)
I was wondering if anyone has been able to get the admin services working when cf instances are set up in a multihoming arrangement?
I have looked through the CFBuilder documentation and it seems to be skewed towards CF9 and Jrun. I am able to add the servers in CFBuilder and have it correctly report the current status, but if I try to stop, start or restart a server from CFBuilder nothing happens.
I initially tried to get it working with just the default cfusion instance and when I tried to stop, start or restart I would get an error in the cfbuilder server console
Error(11/21 at 03:06:01) Cannot perform the operation. Admin server for the remote server 192.168.0.10 is not running.
After looking around the web (I can't remember who posted the info, but thanks!) I found that I needed to comment out the host node in the {CFHome}/cfusion/jetty/etc/jetty.xml file.
<Call name="addConnector">
      <Arg>
          <New class="org.mortbay.jetty.bio.SocketConnector">
            
            <Set name="port"><SystemProperty name="jetty.port" default="8985"/></Set>
            <Set name="maxIdleTime">50000</Set>
            <Set name="lowResourceMaxIdleTime">1500</Set>
          </New>
      </Arg>
    </Call>
After that I created a second ColdFusion instance and then added it to the servers view in CFBuilder neither of my servers can be stopped, started or restarted via the IDE.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Simon

How can I confirm that the admin service have been installed? Is there a file I can check for or something in an xml file somewhere? I have another server that I'd like to try, but can't remember if I said yes to the admin services.
If you see
#Remote Component Administrator Credentials
JETTY_USERNAME=
JETTY_PASSWORD=
JETTY_PASSWORD_CONFIRM=
in the log does that mean it should be installed?
Cheers,

How can I open a tdms file and replace a subset of data then save that change without re-writing the entire file again?

Hi all,
Is it possible to open a tdms file and make a small change an an array subset then save the file without having to save the whole dataset as a different file with a new name? That is to say, is there something similar to "Save" in MS Word rather than "Save As"... I only want to change a 1D array of four data points in a file of 7M data points.
I am not sure if this make sense? Any help is apreciated.
Thanks,
Jack

You can use either one, but for your application, I would use the synchronous. It requires far less setup. When you open the file, set both enable asynchronous and disable buffering to FALSE to enable you to use synchronous with arbitrary data sizes.
