Automating User Preferences in Workspace and WebAnalysis

In WebAnalysis I see there is a way to load an XML file with some of the user preferences, however does something exist for Workspace? Can be java or an xml solution.
Thanks

Changing Default user Preferences in Workspace

I am using HFM 9.3.1. Each time I set up a new user I have to get them to log in, and go through the following routine..
Go to File>Preferences. Then Select Financial Reporting on the left side of the preferences window. Under the Preview heading on the screen are two radio buttons for On and Off. Select On and click OK.
Does anyone know how to change the default setting on this Preference to On?

From the workspace administrators manual, the directions are:
Assigning Reporting and Analysis Default Preferences
User Management Console enables users with Provisioning Manager and Explorer roles to set
the default folder, new document folder, and start page application preferences for users and
groups. Individual and group preferences have precedence over default preferences.
For default preferences to succeed, users and groups must have the roles and permissions
necessary to access specified folders and interface elements.
Provisioning Manager is a Shared Services role that enables you to provisions users and groups
to applications. It is also required for setting default user preferences for Reporting and Analysis.
For more information, see the Hyperion Security Guide.
➤ To assign default preferences for Reporting and Analysis:
1 Select Navigate > Administer > User Management.
2 Log on to User Management Console with a user name provisioned with Provisioning Manager and Explorer
roles.
3 Expand the Projects node until a Reporting and Analysis application is displayed.
4 Right-click the application name and select Assign Preferences.A three-step wizard is displayed in the Process bar.
5 For step 1 of the Wizard, Select Users, select Available Users or Available Groups.
6 From the left panel, select user names or group names and click the right arrow.
To select consecutive names, select the first name, press and hold down Shift, and select the last
name. To select names that are not consecutive, press and hold down Ctrl, and select each item.
Use Add All to select all names.
7 Repeat steps 5 and 6 to select a combination of users and groups.
8 When all user and group names are displayed in Selected Users and Groups, click Next.
9 For step 2 of the Wizard, Manage Preferences, specify these default preferences for the selected users and
groups:
Managing Users 41
● Default Folder—Repository location of the default folder.
● New Document Folder—Default folder in which the new document wizard searches for
valid data sources, that is, Web Analysis database connection files and Interactive Reporting
documents.
● Start Page—Reporting and Analysis interface displayed after logging on. Select None,
Explore, Document, Favorite, or Scorecard.
If you select Explore or Document for Start Page, you must specify a repository location.
10 When all preferences are specified, click Next.
11 For step 3 of the Wizard, Finish, choose between three tasks:
● To configure options for another application, select one from the View pane.
● To change preferences for currently selected users and groups, click Back.
● To specify another set of users and groups and set their preferences, click Continue.

Missing user folder from Workspace and FR studio

Hi All,
Recently we upgraded the workspace and applications... Initially there were all the folders, but i noticed that user folder from workspace and FR studio was missing... If anyone have come across this issue please let me know how to solve it.
Awaiting for response, Thanks in advance

Just to make sure I understand. When you double click the hard drive icon either in the sidebar or on your desktop (if you have it shown there) there is no users folder shown? If that is the case then it must somehow have become invisible. If there was in actuality no user folder at all your Mac would not boot.
If that is the case then you may have to use the terminal to get it back. I can't help you with that though, sorry. Another possibility is that there is some sort of corruption in a cache file. You could use a tool such as YASU or others to do a light cache cleaning which may solve the problem.

How do the experts like to work? User preferences in workflow and design...

I have 3 main overall questions that I could really use expert advice on (all based on the info below):
1. Which path should I take?
2. What display configuration is best?
3. Do I really need a 3rd party video accelerator of some sort?
I currently have a MacBook Pro 17” (first gen) with 2GB RAM and FCS2.
Footage I need to edit is HDVCPROHD 1080pA (offline files, about 2TB worth. Later it will be conformed to uncompressed 1080p at 4:4:4, which will be about 2TB after final cut I’m guessing.) It’s a feature film with an estimated running time of 90-100 minutes.
Looking for suggestions on going about this in the best way.
*Option 1:*
1) get some eSATA storage, connect through a PC Express card (or is FW800 enough?) and edit from that
--a) Or is FW800 fast enough?
--b) If this is a good plan, any suggestions on storage?
2) get a nice secondary display to connect through the DVI so I can view the 1080p footage as large and nice as possible. (Then I’d use my MacBook Pro display as primary.)
--a) Looking at Apple 23” & 30” displays, Dell 24” & 30” displays, or a Samsung HDTV – any suggestions?
----i) I’m being told conflicting reports that I can view the 1080p footage just fine without anything, or that I do in fact need a Matrox MXO2 or something similar. What’s the truth?
In general how would Option 1 fare in your opinion?
*Option 2:*
1) get a bare-bones MacPro, and upgrade it with 3rd party RAM (8GB) and 4x4TB internal SATA drives, and RAID 3 of them, using one as the boot drive. nVidia 8800, too.
2) Get two new displays; one for preview.
--a) Looking at Apple, Dell, various sizes, etc. 2x24” Dells, or a 30” and a Samsung 1080p HDTV?
----i) Does anyone have a screen shot of FCP running on a 30” compared to a 23”? It’s twice as much but it seems that much better!
----ii) Do I really need an AJA or Blackmagic card to view the 1080p signal? Shouldn’t it just work? If there is a performance increase, how much better is it?
My immediate goal is to edit the offline files to a final cut in the quickest most efficient way possible.
My secondary goal, if I went with Option 2, would be to have a way of scaling my system up if I needed to work on the online uncompressed 4:4:4 files. Then I’d need to purchase the Kona3 for sure and then purchase the CalDigit HDPro…the best from what I’ve researched.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!

DVCPRO HD...no such thing as HDVCPRO. HDV...DVCPRO...different formats.
Can I blame the typo on the assistant editor? Probably not… He digitized at the lab and emailed me that, but I should have known better… (See previous apology.)
Later it will be conformed to uncompressed 1080p at 4:4:4
You need a MacPro with about 6GB to 8GB of RAM.
You will need a Kona 3 card, or Decklink Multibridge Pro or Eclipse.
You will need far better storage than three internal striped drives. Uncompressed HD 4:4;4 takes muscle. HD Pro (www.caldigit.com) Sonnet 800P (www.sonnettech.com) ProDQ (www.dulcesystems.com) EVO HD (www.maxxdigital.com). Something capable of 400MB/s sustained read/write.
Forget the laptop option. As soon as you mention Uncompressed 4:4:4...it is off the table.
Since I’m editing the offline right now, I should be fine with the internal striped RAID for now? (Would Option 1 be back on the table if I was only working with the offline? Not that I wouldn’t love a new MacPro and huge screens, etc., I just want to know where my ‘needs’ end and my ‘wants’ start.)
--a) Looking at Apple, Dell, various sizes, etc. 2x24” Dells, or a 30” and a Samsung 1080p HDTV?
Two monitors...Dell 2408 are great. Better picture and CHEAPER than the Apple dislays.
Okay, this is a big deal to me. Your preference for Dell over Apple sways me a lot back toward Dell, even though I have read that color on the Apple is better, and the response times on the new Dells are not the greatest in the latest benchmarks. Regardless, I bet I wouldn’t notice a difference once they were all calibrated, etc. (Besides the gorgeous aesthetic of the Apples!)
Ignoring the brand though: So do you prefer working with two 24” monitors, using both for your workspace and an additional preview monitor? Or do you use one for your workspace and the other for preview? If both are used for workspace, does the split down the center (between each screen) bother you? And would that be solved by a single 30” for workspace?
ii) Do I really need an AJA or Blackmagic card to view the 1080p signal?
Yes, you do.
Shouldn’t it just work?
Just work how? Via firewire? Nope. DV...yes (camera/deck required). DVCPRO HD...yes (if you have a deck to route thru). HDV...no. Uncompressed HD...HECK no...not without a capture card. UC 4:4:4? Kona 3...Decklink Multibridge or Eclipse.
So let’s say I have either a new 24” Dell or a Samsung 1080p HDTV I’m using for my preview monitor. I can’t connect with my secondary DVI on the nVidia 8800 and expect to see a 1920x1080p signal? (Playing my offline files, not the UC 4:4:4.) I was hoping to delay the purchase of a Kona3 card until I really knew I needed to work with my online.
So here’s my dilemma: if I really do need to purchase ‘something’ to view the offline now, it would potentially be a waste if I later needed to purchase a Kona3, unless I bit the bullet and just purchased the Kona3, which is overkill for my offline for now. Arrgh.
Anyway, I can see the footage on my MacBook Pro in a tiny window now, and I’m going to experiment with playing it on my old 21” CRT with a DVI-VGA adapter as a second monitor, just for fun. Any predictions?
I’m being told conflicting reports that I can view the 1080p footage just fine without anything, or that I do in fact need a Matrox MXO2 or something similar. What’s the truth?
MXO 2 can allow you to view HDV, DVCPRO HD, XDCAM, uncompressed 4:2:2 HD. 4:4:4 is KONA/Decklink territory.
So the MXO is just going to get me through the offline, but at $1500 it’s more than half way to the price of a Kona3. If I was going to do that to myself, wouldn’t a Blackmagic Intensity card do the same? Then I’d only be out $250. But still, if the Kona3 hedges all my bets right off the bat, then I get some performance benefits as well during my offline, it starts to weigh my decision. What would you do if you were me?
If there is a performance increase, how much better is it?
No performance increase. They allow for more RT effects with HDV and DVCPRO HD, but they do not speed up renders or add more RT to uncompressed HD.
This is where I need to learn what effects it speeds up. Basic things like transitions, etc.? Anything I’d notice that I’d otherwise get impatient waiting to render?
Or is FW800 fast enough?
not by a long shot.
Is it fast enough to handle the offline?
My immediate goal is to edit the offline files to a final cut in the quickest most efficient way possible.
Capture DVCPRO HD native...via firewire. Edit on your internal drives...no striping needed...they are plenty fast.
Since it was already captured for me, and I’m sort of locked in right now to what I have, it’s about 2TB. If I max out to 4x1TB drives in a new MacPro, is it wise to stripe 3 of them and work from that? Is it still better to keep them all as individuals?
I’d need to purchase the Kona3 for sure and then purchase the CalDigit HDPro…the best from what I’ve researched.
YOu researched well...
Thanks! Nice review of the HDPro!!!

Cache memory usage of Hyperion Planning, Workspace and Financial Reporting

We have installed Hyperion Planning, Workspace and Financial Reporting in one single server and we would like to know is there any cache memory setting can be fine tuned to improved the overall online performance of the system.
How can we control the memory usage of individual user logged into Workspace and Hyperion Planning? And if users generate a large size report in Financial Reporting, should more memory be allocated to the user so as to speed up the report generation speed?
Thanks in advance!

Our onsite consultants told us that as we have many web forms and some web forms contains lot of cells, the compiled Hyperion Planning application is quite large (> 1GB) and sometimes may have "out of memory" problem. We just wonder we are using 64bit version of Windows 2003 we should have a much larger memory address space. How can we improve the "out of memory" issue?
Or Hyperion Planning is still a 32 bit application?

Workspace User Preferences

Hi I have a question. We are assigning homepages at a group level in workspace preferences. When creating a new user and assigning him to a group is there a way to assign him the groups default homepage / user preferences in Shared Services?

Here is a link to the Workspace Administrator guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E40248_01/epm.1112/bpmui_admin.pdf
Note: you can set global defaults for user preferences. You can also accomplish default homepages for different groups following the procedures in the Admin guide.
Hope this helps,
Mike

Help! InDesign CC 2014 crashes and loses workspace and preferences each time

InDesign CC 2014 crashes on a daily basis (sometimes multiple times per day) causing me to lose my preferences and have to resetup and reload my workspace... are there any fixes or is this issue even being addressed?

It's quite likely that there is a problem with the User space on your computer. Please tell us whether you're working a Mac or Windows computer.
Try creating a new user on your computer and launch InDesign from that user. On a Mac, that would be done in the Users & Groups System Preference.

Hi Everyone
I have installed oracle 11.1.0.7 on our server and the os is windows server 2008. I tried creating a new workspace and workspace user using the repository assistant on the server itself i mean i am using OWB which comes along with the 11g database. It is installing 60% and at the end it gives me this error:

How to handle user preference which has "_" and " " in the name

Hi Experts,
I have a question how to handle value which has like "_" and "space" etc in user preference.
If setting "a_b-c d", I could not retrieve this because it's escaped in database.
So this code can't get value even though I can set it.
Is there any restriction of name? Is there any documentation how to code user prefernece which has non alphabet and number in the name?
I know it's possible to handle the data like adding escaped data. But I don't think this is the best way to retrieve the data. Because nobody confirm it's not problem in the future.
Could you tell me the best way to get these user preference?
Thanks in advance,
Masaaki Tada

Plumtree recommends that user preference names have only alphanumeric characters in them (a-z, A-Z, 0-9). Any non-alphanumeric characters will be encoded by the EDK.
I strongly suggest that you change your user pref name to something that's alphanumeric. However, if that is not possible, you can use the following workaround: in the web service editor, enter the encoded name for the user pref. There are several ways to get the encoded name.
One way is to encode the pref manually, yourself. Plumtree uses the %u encoded format: each non alphanumeric character is converted into %uxxxx, where xxxx is the Unicode representation of the character. For all ASCII characters, just look at the ASCII hex chart. For example, character "-" has a hex value of 2d. So, a preference name "jane_pref" would be encoded to "jane%u002dpref", and you'd enter the latter value on the preferences page in the web service editor.
The other way to find out the encoded value is to set a preference programmatically and use the HTTP tunnel tool to look at HTTP traffic between the portal server and remote server. The remote server will be sending a HTTP header to the portal server (the header name will probably be CSP-User-Pref) and inside the header you should see the pref name, encoded with %u. Just copy it out of there and into the web service editor.
Hope this helps,
Jane

Report listing workspace owners, workspaces and user names (11gR2)

I was looking for a simple report to show what has been created so far and to give an idea what to cleanup after my initial testing. The OWB 11g data collection script (owbcollect11g.sql) includes a section to exactly help with this. This needs to be executed as sys. Hopefully, this will help somebody else also. Please share any other suggestions.
Thanks,

The other approach might be to create separate workspace owners for each, i.e. dev/test, model and productionI think the second approach will be better as
1. From the security point of view the different workspace owners has diffrerent security policy for there dev/test model and production.
2. If at any point of time any one of the workspace would be corrupt it will not impact the other.

Store user preferences accessible from view layer and ADF BC

Hi
I'm working with JDeveloper 11.1.2.1
We have an application with an application-level shared application module which contains VOs with bind variables to generate language dependent LOVs. From these VOs have to access the language.
We want to store user language and other user preferences in the future and these can be accessed by the view layer and ADF BC.
In addition, we want that application will be passivation safe and works properly in a cluster environment.
At first we opted to save the language in the HTTP session, but we access it from ADF BC ... and we would not want to break the MVC pattern. This article
Andrejus Baranovskis's Blog: Bad Practice for Session Scope Access in ADF BC
says that the MVC pattern only breaks when our application module can not be executed without the UI. We differentiate when run individually and when run as a logged in user to avoid this rupture. ¿Is this acceptable solution?
Otherwise, what is the best option to preserve the MVC pattern and also the passivation does not affect the proper execution of the application and not cause problems in the cluster (HTTP sessions are replicated, but the rest?)
I have seen that there are 2 more possible methods :
- Transient View Object
- User data map
The user data map discussed in this article seems an option,
Andrejus Baranovskis's Blog: Solution for Sharing Global User Data in ADF BC
but perhaps complicates the development and I don't know if shared application module would work properly. For example, we need the language of the user in the application-level shared application module VOs, but the user data map is available only in the session of the root application module no? If we have a method that gets the language within the shared application module, ¿when the method getSession.getUserData() execute, it will access the user data in the root application module or return null?
If you could tell us if we are correct using the HTTP session or else it is better that we use the user data map, it would be a great help.
Thanks

Hi,
this sounds like something that belongs in your Application Module. I would create a client method which would do your LDAP checks before calling your view object to create a new row. Have the client method return the result based on the success of your LDAP search.
Call this AM client method from the backing bean of the JSP and return a page flow based on the outcome of your client method.
The actual transaction with the database happens in your doDML method of the Entity Object (override the doDML method). But I would still implement this business logic in the AM.

Brenden

To use the "Users & Groups" preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen.

When I try to access some of the system preferences in Mavericks I get an error pane that states "To use the “Users & Groups” preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen."
Has anybody had this problem and if so what is the fix?

Usually happens if you opened one that was 32-bit. Then, you need to revert back to 64-bit.

User preferences gone and access to system preferences locked

I did a software upgrade to my iMac and it wiped out all my user preferences, and will not allow me access to my system preferences to change it back. Any suggestions to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Abby

You can re-install Mavericks to get back the Apple applications. It will install over your current files, but it is always advised that you backup first.
If you have an external drive you can clone your current drive using SuperDuper or CCC. Both are free for a full clone.

Transferring user preferences and configuration by importing plist files

At my job, we use iMac desktops. These are simple imaged workstations on a local area network, on which we login using a unique LAN user and password. I am particular about the configuration of my workstation and do a lot of configuring in System Preferences, as well as having my own bookmarks and whatnot. We do not have dedicated desks; I often find myself sitting at a desk I haven't sat at previously, and must reconfigure settings, import bookmarks from an HTML, etc.
I've noticed that I can easily export and import my keyboard text shortcuts between desktops by highlighting everything under System Preferences >Keyboard > Text and dragging it to the desktop, creating a keyboard plist file, and dragging this file into the same pane on a yet-to-be-configured desktop to easily import them. This saves the trouble of having to reenter them every time I'm at a new workstation.
My questions are these:
—Are other personal preferences as easily transferable using plist files? Specifically my Dock preferences/layout, settings like Hot Corners, wired Apple Mouse configuration, Launchpad layout, etc.
—If so, which plist's would be required?
—Would I have to use Terminal?
—Is there an easier way to accomplish this without plist's?
Being able to copy and paste plist's into my user library to auto-configure my preferences and setup on new desktops would save me a lot of time when sitting at a new desk.
Thanks!

If the specialist did a full backup, all you have to do is run Migration Assistant, which is in Applications / Utilities, and it'll basically put the machine back the way it was. If all he did was save some data files, that stuff is gone.

Can a user be a developer and an admin user in the same workspace?

Hi
We have just upgraded one of our environments from APEX 3.2 to Apex 4.1.
In our existing apex applications version 3.2 we have the senior developer users set up with both user is an administrator and user is a developer set to yes.
When I try to set up the same in Version 4.1 I only seem to be able to set the user up with either developer or admin and not both as the user is a developer radio button is greyed out when user is and adminstator is selected.
Is it not possible in 4.1 to be an administrator and a developer. Does this mean that one person may have to have 2 logins if they are performing an adminstrator and developer role in Apex 4.1?
Please advise
Regards
Kay

Hi,
When you set user as admin, it is same as in Apex 3.2 admin+developer
