App creation wizard fails to recognize Attribute association

Hi friends,
The application creation wizard is broken as it does not recognize the attribute association with the base dimension.
Getting a message - Attribute dimension is associated with 0 base dimensions.It should be associated with one and only one base dimension.
Please advise.
EPMA 11.1
SQL 2005 SP2
Windows 2003 Server

Hi,
Is the message :- Error : Attribute dimension "..." is associated with 0 base dimensions or has 0 associations to the same base dimension. It should be associated exactly once with only one base dimension.
If it is you have not created an association between the attribute dimension and the dimension you want to apply it to.
Right click over your dimension, select "Create Association", select "New Property" and give it a property name.
Now in your member properties you should be able to able to select the different attribute members, it should also validate.
Cheers

JSF Page Creation wizard title configuration uses old values!

I just noticed that if you don't explicit change the value of the page's title in the JSF Page Creation Wizard, the page created will get the title from the last page where you changed the title.
Tested in JDev 10.1.3.1Production and JDev 10.1.3.1 Preview

I'm thinking this has to do with the fact that the UIComponents use the localValue after validation fails. This prevents the values from being overwritten when re-rendering the page, i.e. the inputs keep the value set by the user.
The solution is to manipulate the components directly during the AJAX request when the first pull down is changed. Use the binding attribute to place them into your bean and clear the value directly. That way it will not matter that the expression is not evaluated.

Mail starts with account creation wizard, although existing accounts

Hi, we have a very strange problem on a new MacBook. (3 Days old)
We´ve created several e-mail accounts in Mail and everything worked fine.
Now I´ve opened Mail and it came with the account creation wizard as if there were no accounts anymore. But in the user/library/mail folder all data are existing.
What happend? How can we connect all existing accounts to Mail.app again?
How can we make sure that this won´t happend again?
There wasn´t any systemcrash bevor this issue.

this means that your mail preference file was destroyed. this sometimes happens on improper shutdowns, power outages or application crashes. if you recreate your accounts they will recognize their existing mailboxes. or, if you have a backup, you can quit mail and restore the mail preference file from backup. the file is /users/username/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

TIME dimension processing fails saying "..attribute key cannot be found.." in EPM 10

After upgrading from version 7.5 to EPM 10, when we ran a ‘Full Process’ on the TIME dimension, it ran into an error saying “Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found when processing: Table: 'dbo_tblFactCapEx', Column: 'TIMEID', Value: '20090013'. The attribute is 'Time_TIMEID'. (1/13/2015 2:41:02 PM)”.
Full error message is attached herewith – ‘Time Dimension Error.txt’
After researching, we did discover that MONTHNUM needed to be converted to BASE_PERIOD. Re-processed which produced the same error.
Prior to migration to version 7.5, we ran a full process on TIME dimension there. It completed successfully, confirming the issue is only with version 10.
Confirmed we could see the TIMEID value of 20090013 in the following places:
Time Dimension in the appropriate TIMEID attribute column.
Confirmed mbrTIME table had base member ID with TIMEID attribute filled out correctly.
Data in tblFactFINANCE could be pulled using that TIMEID
We truncated all the records in all the fact tables associated to this TIME dimension.
Eventually, when none of the tables had any records, the TIME dimension then processed successfully.
We this began to suspect the issue may not really be related to bad records.
We conducted one more test to confirm this.
Using an input form in EPM 10, we manually entered data in one of the models (at this point none of the fact tables have any records)
Ran Full Optimize on that model with Compress Database and Index Defragmentation checked – This step failed with the error attached in ‘MatrixRateFullOptimize.txt’
Ran Full process on Time Dimension – Failed indicating issue with TimeID 2012001 (that’s my manual entry). Attached error report ‘TimeDim Error MatrixRate.txt’
At this point, the table only contains the manually entered records (no suspected bad records)
We then suspected there could have been an issue with the upgrade process.
So we reprocessed all the dimension and optimized all the models in version 7.5, made a new backup and restored it to version 10.
The issue still persisted!
At this point, we have tried all the possibilities we could think of. Each time the fact table is populated with records, the TIME dimension process fails indicating ‘the attribute key’ cannot be found.
There is probably something in the OLAP partition that is not able to link the dimension attributes to the cubes.
Additional Information:
Please find attached the existing Time Dimension – TimeDimensionMembers.xlxs
Version of Excel used: Excel 2007, SP3 MSO (12.0.6683.5000)
System Specs: Please see screenshot below.

Thank you all for responding! This issue is resolved.
Here’s what the issue was:
The time structure is TOTAL >> Years >> Quarters >> Months (e.g. T.ALL >> 2012.TOTAL >> 2012.Q1 >> 2012.P01)
As shown in the screenshot below, the LEVEL for ‘T.ALL’ member was set to YEAR, which is incorrect (we can’t have Year rolling up to a Year)
We changed the LEVEL to ‘TOTAL’ and this fixed the issue!!
If only it gave a better error message than the “..attribute key not found” message

ASO update of attribute associations causes Data to be "converted"?

Has anyone seen the issue in 11.1.2.3(.506) where associating attributes with a dimension causes Essbase to reorganize the data (it is referred to as convert)?
e.g.
import database app.db dimensions connect as user identified by password using server rules_file 'DimFuel' on error write to '/essapp/subject/sos/logs/sosp04_dims.build_dim_sosp04_sosp04_dimopen.20150429011053.err':
OK/INFO - 1270086 - Restructuring converted [5.72103e+08] input cells and removed [0] input cells.
OK/INFO - 1270087 - Restructuring converted [32] and removed [0] aggregate views.
OK/INFO - 1007067 - Total Restructure Elapsed Time : [1944.88] seconds.
Previoiusly this process ran in 3 seconds in 11.1.2.2(.100)

I agree with everything that Tim has said. Let me elaborate some more that might be helpful:
The fact that agg views are not based on query tracking makes no difference in the analysis. Query tracking only affects WHICH views are selected. Once views are selected by whatever means they are handled in the same way. Is there a reason you think otherwise?
Let's divide the question into two parts:
1. What is a restructure and Why is a restructure needed?
2. Why must the agg views be converted
But first realize there are two possibilities concerning WHICH agg views actually exist:
a. All views might be on the primary hierarchy only. (You told Essbase to consider alternate hierarchies when creating aggregates) - let's call that the Agg_Primary option
b. Views might be based on both primary and alternate (which includes attribute) hierarchies - let's call that the Agg_Any option
All of this is is discussed in my Chapter "How ASO Works and How to Design for Performance" in the book "Developing Essbase Applications" edited by Cameron Lackpour. You will also find a discussion of the bitmap in the section of the DBAG entitled "An aggregate storage database outline cannot exceed 64 bits per dimension" (Essbase Administrators Guide Release 11.1.2.1 Chapter 62 page 934). and in a presentation I made at Kscope 20120 which you can find on ODTUG.com
1. Why a restructure? As Tim says the outline has changed and anytime the number of levels per hierarchy or the width of the hierarchy changes then the coding system used for the data changes. OK what do i mean by this? The binary system by which each piece of data in your cube is described is called the "BitMap". In actuality, this bitmap only reflects the data's position in the primary hierarchy for each dimension. The primary hierarchy for a specific dimension is not necessarily the first hierarchy seen in your outline. It is the "widest" hierarchy - the one requiring the greatest number of bits to represent all Level 0 (L0) members found in that hierarchy and each L0's full ancestry within that hierarchy.
If you read the references above you will see that the number of bits used to determine the "widest" hierarchy is a function of the number of levels and the size of the largest "family" in a hierarchy. A hierarchy of 5 levels where the largest family has 17 members will require 3 bits more than a hierarchy of 5 levels with 4 members in the family (17 requires 5 bits and 4 requires 2 bits). So you can see that any time you add more members you could be causing the size of the largest family to exceed a power of 2 boundary.
Additionally, if the primary hierarchy is NOT all inclusive - i.e. it contains all L0 members for that dimension then you have to add a sufficient number of bits to enumerate the hierarchies.
So, in summary changes to the width or the height (number of levels) will require a restructure forcing the the identifying bits on every piece of data to be updated.
In the case the OP mentions where the ONLY changes are to add attribute associations you normally would NOT expect to see a change in the bitmap due to the number of bits required. This is because attribute dimensions can never have new unique L0 members (you can not associate to something that does not exist). If you go thru the math (and realize that the bitmap for an attribute dimension does NOT have consider size of the L0 families of the primary hierarchy - or whichever Level the association is based on) you will find that there is no possible attribute dimension that can require more bits than the primary hierarchy. UNLESS you have been sloppy and you have a primary dimension with x L0 members and a very large secondary hierarchy with x-n members UNIQUE L0 members (i.e. L0 members not appearing in the primary hierarchy).
So the answer is to inspect the statistics tab before and after your addition of member associations.
Note - (and this does NOT pertain in the OP's Case) a similar situation exists if all secondary hierarchies contain ONLY members that already exist within the primary hierarchy. However, remember that the FIRST hierarchy in your outline is not necessarily the primary hierarchy. Most people however consider the first hierarchy as the de-facto primary. If one is in a hurry and adds the member to that first hierarchy but does not add it to ALL of the alternate hierarchies (one of which is the true primary), then bits will have to be added to each piece of data to enumerate the hierarchies - thus triggering a restructure.
Finally, I am relying on the OP's description of the conditions where it was stated that ONLY associations were added and that no upper level attribute members created. If upper level attribute members are added it is possible that the number of levels for the attribute dimension is changed. In this case a mini restructure would be required - one that would not change the bitmap on every data item but a change to the mapping table that relates alternate hierarchies to the primary hierarchy. Note the existence of this table and its exact structure is not acknowledged by Oracle - I (Dan Pressman) have postulated it as one possible implementation of the observed functionality.
2. Aggregate View Conversion: Each data item is tagged not only with a bitmap indicating its position within each primary hierarchy but with a "View ID". This is the number that is seen in the ASO version of the .CSC file created whenever the view definition is saved. The input data is always identified by a View ID of 0. The view ID of other views is a function of the number of levels and the bits required therefore of ALL hierarchies of ALL dimensions. Therefore any restructure will require that the View IDs of all aggregate views be translated (or converted) from the old scheme to the new scheme. Note that this is purely a translation and no aggregation is required.
Please excuse me if I post this now and add some more later on this second question - actually let me know if anyone has actually read this far and is interested.
Please note in the above whenever i have said "Each data item" I am referring to the situation where no dimension has been tagged as the "compression" dimension. If a compression dimension has been used then replace the phrase "Each data item" with the phrase "each data bundle". I will leave it to the reader to find the section of the DBAG that describes compression and data bundles.

so you have ti recreate the asm instance and register this instance in the cluster.

Mail fails to recognize names from address book

My information in address book shows as follows
Name: J Doe
Email address: [email protected]
If someone has me in their address book as Doe John and sends an email to me at my email address ([email protected]), Mail.app does not recognize me and asks me if I want to 'Add to Address Book'.
The same happens if a sender has a minor change in the Name (such as even a dot in the name) of any recipient, regardless of the fact that I have the correct name in the address book. Mail fails to recognize the recipient even though the email address is identical, and will ask me if I want to 'Add to Address Book'.
One would expect Mail to use just the email address and recognize the contact as already being in the Address Book.
I just spent a good three hours investigating this.
There have been numerous posts discussing this both here and elsewhere over the years but I'm surprised that there has not been a solution. Here are some examples..
1. Mail can't recognize my contact email address
2. Address Book editing
3. Mail doesn't show names from the Address Book
In the 3rd example above, Golden Shoes suggests that this is the same for every email client, but I must disagree because Postbox and Thunderbird does display the information correctly from the Address Book, infact Postbox does this impressively I must add.
It would be great if this was fixable in Mail. Is there a solution for this?

I followed your suggestions.
Both AB and AB within Mail were empty of contacts after I deleted my iCloud contacts from the mac. I even did a reboot just in case. After this, I rechecked contacts and all my contacts appeared again both in AB and AB within Mail.
I quit and reopened Mail to find that the problem still persisted. I know and rechecked that these contacts are not present in my previous recipients list so it is definitely not that database which is preventing this.
The funny thing (maybe not funny since this is really bugging me) is that Mail on iOS (iPhone) works just fine. The Mail on iPhone seems to query the sender/recipient email address, accurately realizes that the contact is already in the AB, and shows as such. The same email in Mail.app on the mac asks me if I want to add the contact to AB.
Is this really a unique situation? Is everyone else not experiencing the same?
If you ask someone to change your name within their address book and send an email to you, does Mail on the mac recognize you regardless of what that sender named you as? Or does it ask you to add to AB?

Firefox/Safari Fails to Recognize iSight

I have attempted using my webcam over the internet programs and it fails to recognize that I have a built in camera. The main places this occurs are Facebook and Chatroulette. How would this be fixed?

Several 10.6.5 users are currently finding problems with Flash based video web sites, perhaps due to timing differences in the various update cycles of the developers.
Therefore, check all third-party items like Flip4Mac, Safari "Extensions", web-based chat items, social web site "toolbars", etc., to be sure you are using the latest versions compatible with your system's versions of OS X and browser. Uninstall any with known issues pending their next update.
If you are still having iSight problems ONLY on Flash-based web sites, here are some things you can try. Depending on system configuration and installed third-party items, various users have reported different methods of restoring Flash video website functionality. Which might work for you seems to be a matter of what you have added to your system, so keep trying any relevant to your system until you find the one that might work for you.
(1) For those who have installed Google plugins, user OysterOyster reports that uninstalling them restores proper iSight function with Flash and Mac OS X 10.6.5.
If Google is your problem, the GoogleVoiceAndVideoUninstaller.app should be in your hard drive's Library/Application Support/Google/ folder. (not your *Home > Library* folder)
Several users confirm that using the Google uninstaller works to restore Flash video functions.
Some other users, including those who do not use the Google plugins, have found other remedies.
(2) User joew13 reports that installing the 64-bit Flash plug-in beta for Mac OS X (DMG, 8.7 MB) fixed Flash sites for him.
This link allows download of the 64-bit plugin beta from an official Adobe page:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
or, to download the beta directly, click this link--> http://tinyurl.com/2frejs4
Several other users have confirmed success after the beta update.
(3) User imagerle downgraded Flash to version 10,0,45,2 to restore Flash video.
If this older version is not available on a backup or an old install disk, it can be downloaded from Adobe's Archived Flash Players page:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
(4) User sirjoe82 and others have reported that uninstalling Flip4Mac restored their Flash video website functions.

[SOLVED] createAndInitRow fails for some attributes

JDEV 10.1.3
ADF BC
ADF Faces
I am inserting a new row using createAndInitRow() as follows:
Row newRow = myView.createAndInitRow(pairs);
where pairs is instance of NameValuePairs containing appropriate attribute names and values.
The problem is: a couple of the attributes aren't being set in the newly created row.
I can fix this manually by calling newRow.setAttribute("AttrNme", attrVal), which does set the value correctly.
All the names/values are identical between the two different calls, but createAndInitRow is failing on some attributes. Anyone have a clue why this is?
Thank you.

Rob Quinn

UPDATE:
I don't know why, but if I set the Default Value for the attribute in the entity object, then when I manually call newRow.setAttribute("AttrNme", attrVal) and then insertRow(newRow), the attribute is correctly inserted into the table. But when I remove the default value, the same code gives me an error, as stated in the first post.
And no matter what I do, the createAndInitRow is failing to recognize/initialize those attributes that I pass in.
Background Relevance?:
The problem attributes were added to an existing entity object and view object, after we added new database columns.

HT6437 iTunes fails to recognize iPhone

I am attempting to backup/restore my iPhone 4S running iOS 7.1.2, to my new iPhone 6 Plus running iOS8.1.2.
Unfortunately, iTunes 12 fails to recognize my iPhone device. Therefore, it's impossible to Backup or Synch.
Any ideas to correct this? Do I have to update my ancient iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.2 first? I tried different USB cables, no luck. I tried stop/re-start iTunes.

Hello there, dpharbison.
When transferring content from an older iOS device to a new one using iTunes, the following Knowledge Base article offers the steps on how to accomplish that:
Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support
Use iTunes
If you don't have an iCloud account or you just want to keep a backup on your computer, you can use iTunes to back up and transfer content on your device.
Get ready
Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer and the latest version of iOS on your original device.
You can't install a backup of a newer version of iOS onto devices that are using earlier versions of iOS. If your backup came from a device that has a newer version of iOS installed, update your new device before you transfer your data. For help, see Unable to restore from a backup of a newer iOS device.
Back up and transfer
First, back up your old device using iTunes. You can also encrypt the backup so that it remembers the passwords for your email, Wi-Fi, and more when you transfer to the new device. Otherwise, you can re-enter these passwords on the new device.
Then transfer your data from your device to your computer.
Remove your SIM card
If your device has a SIM card, use the SIM-extractor tool or a paper clip to remove the SIM from your old device and insert it into your new device. Or if your carrier gave you a new SIM card, use that instead.
Set up the new device
When the backup of your old device is finished, turn on your new device. Follow the setup assistant, which will ask you to choose these things:
Your language and country
Whether to enable Location Services
A Wi-Fi network
If you don’t have a Wi-Fi or cellular data connection, you can also activate by tapping Connect to iTunes.
Restore the backup
When prompted to set up your device, select Restore from iTunes Backup.
Connect to iTunes
Connect your new device to iTunes, using the same computer you used to back up your current device. iTunes will ask you to restore from backup or set up as new. Select the backup of your old device and choose Continue.
If the progress bar in iTunes pauses for a while, wait until the restore finishes.
Sync other content
When the restore finishes, your device restarts, and then it's ready for you to use.
Keep your device connected to iTunes to sync content that isn't in the backup (such as music, videos, and apps). To change the type of content that syncs, click the syncing tabs in iTunes.
Enter your passwords
If you restored from an unencrypted backup, you'll need to enter the password for your Apple ID, email and other accounts, and voicemail. If you've forgotten your voicemail password, contact your carrier.
If your device continues to not be recognized, these article provide further troubleshooting depending on the operating system your computer is running:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Hi friends
I managed to find the answer. Internally it is has some indexes in the data base level. It still maintains the indexes in the shadow tables. Those all need to be deleted. With our Basis team help I have successfully deleted those and recreated the indexes.
As Soorejkv said sap note 1283322 will help you on this to understand the scenarios.
Thank you all.

App store update shows I can't update an app since my Apple ID is not associated with my account on Yosemite

App store update shows I can't update an app since my Apple ID is not associated with my account on Yosemite. How can I just force it to allow me to RE-BUY the app again since I don't even have it to update, but I want it?
Currently, I even though I don't have the app, I am not given the option to buy, only to "update", and when I click on that it either hangs or it complains that it can't since my Apple ID is not associated with my account.

And it was your wife's Apple ID that was used to download and install the Yosemite you are using on this computer? If so then I suggest you need to contact Apple to get his straightened out.

W500 w/ Windows 7 64-Bit Ultimate fails to recognize some audio CDs

My DVD/CD drive (a HL-DT-ST_DVDRAM_GSA-U20N) in my Lenovo W500 laptop (running Windows 7 64-Bit Ultimate) fails to recognize some audio CDs.
It recognizes most audio CDs, but a few are not recognized by Windows 7 itself, or by any other program on my computer.
These CDs are recognized by other Windows 7 computers.
I don't think that it's a copy protection issue, since the CDs don't mention any copy protection scheme (and also since they work on other Windows 7 machines).
One CD that wasn't recognized by my machine was the second CD from a two CD set (the first CD was correctly recognized).
I have the latest updates for Windows, and all my programs, drivers, BIOS & firmware.
Thanks.

What kind of behavior are you getting from the drive? If it's spinning up, down, and up again your lens might be dirty or the drive could be failing.
If you do clean the lens, be careful. Do your research first or you might make it worse.
Edit: Replacements are:
42T2511 or 42T2541 (DVD)
42T2543 or 42T2513 (DVD/CD-RW combo)
42T2545, 42T2515 or 42T2551 (DVD-RAM/RW)
You can get the 42T2543 for $23 and the 42T2545 for $45 on eBay.
