Basic Essbase help

Hi All
I'm new to essbase so excuse the basic questions, can somebody advise on the following topics
Where is the master config file for essbase stored?
What is an appropriate size for essbase.log cut off in bytes
Does the size of the log impact performance in anyway?
Are there any performance enhancing settings e.g Caching, Logging? you can suggest in the config
Any other pointers for performance tuning
I should also add this is on 11.1.2 and i looking for improvement in import fact table, cube rebuild & data load
Many thanks
Regards
Ryan

Where is the master config file for essbase stored?
when you find difficult to remember the path just go for the search option search for Essbase.cfg or even you can do how CL has explained but if u havent started ur essbase and if u know whwta to do then u can do what i have suggested
What is an appropriate size for essbase.log cut off in bytes
i dont think there limit but you can limit the size by using below command :)
try using this in config file
AGTMAXLOGFILESIZE n where n=- number of bytes
Does the size of the log impact performance in anyway?
it wont impact on performance to essbase but when ever u do any transaction to essbase records below like
opening essbase application
database
calc> running calc
running report script
anything in essbase these changes and transaction will be stored in in log so it better u limit them up to your requirements
Are there any performance enhancing settings e.g Caching, Logging? you can suggest in the config
Within the database, reduce the amount of memory allocated for caches.
like for Index Cache:
Minimum Value:
1024 KB (1048576 bytes)
Default Value:
Buffered I/O: 1024 KB (1048576 bytes)
Direct I/O: 10240 KB (10485760 bytes)
i could say Combined size of all ess*.ind files, if possible; as large as possible otherwise. Do not set this cache size higher than the total index size, as no performance improvement results.
To determine the total index size, see “Index Files” on page (1026). In general, if you are using direct I/O, make the index cache as large as system resources allow.
If you are using buffered I/O, make the index cache as small as possible.
like for data cache
Minimum Value:
Direct I/O: 10240 KB (10485760 bytes)
Default Value:
Direct I/O: 32768 KB (33554432 bytes)
i could say Combined size of all ess*.pag files, if possible; otherwise as large as possible.
This cache setting not used if Essbase is set to use buffered I/O.
In general, if you are using direct I/O, make the data file cache as large as system resources allow.
If you are using buffered I/O, the data file cache is not used.
Any other pointers for performance tuning
there are hell lot of points for performance tuning which dont end up .. it depends on ur requirement in our project to specific question i can answer
Hope this helps

Essbase Visual Basic API - Help File locations

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help. Normally on XP Office 2003 I can get the VBA help via Help->Essbase Help. However I'm on Vista Office 2007 and when I goto the Add Ins->Essbase Help, I get an error that states:
Why can't I get Help from this program?
The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which was used in previous versions of Windows and it is not supported in Windows Vista.
For more information, see Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe) is no longer included with Windows on the Microsoft support website.
So I need another way to access these help files.. Is there another way to do this??????
Thanks,
Sam

loading data from the VB api uses the import function. Look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_api/topapilist.htm for the system 9 version of the documentation. The document gives you samples for different functions you will need. from initialization, login, import, logout and termination

Basic script help for a newbie?!?!

Need help with a basic script, I need to display 5 input fields in a single dynamic field. And i need them to have a certain order of display, ie: input 1 is displayed on line 1, 2 on the next line, etc. any help would be appreciated
I have been trying various scripts but i either make the second input field replace the first one, or i cant get the vars to populate the field with a button.. Im kinda lost.

Show what you have tried so far that give you the results where you either replace fields or can't get vars to populate them with a button.

Some basic questions: Help defining Real World Classes

I am trying to write a small applet using proper OO concempts and Java technique and I'm confused on the proper way to do this. I think I know several ways that work and have all the peices I need such as JMail and JDBC drivers, but would appreciate help on understanding how to properly structure my classes and objects.
The application will simply do the following: I have a database table that receives a new entry when a truck is late for its delivery. When this new record is created, I need to send an email to the driver manager who will then decide (via a jsp page) whether the customer should receive an email about the late delivery. For each truck, there will only be one driver manager and one client to be notified.
What I'm confused about is what classes and objects to create (and why). My first thought is to create a LateTruck class, a DriverManager class and a Customer class and have the LateTruck class call up the DriverManager to send an email then have the JSP page reinstantiate the LateTruck and instantiate the Customer class to send the email to the client.
If I do it this way, is there a proper way to send the email? Do I send the email as a method in LateTruck which gets the email address from DriverManager such as
LateTruck.Order1234.SendEmail(DriverManager.JoeBlow.Email)
or do I use LateTruck to write the email message which I then pass to DriverManager such as
DriverManager.JoeBlow.SendEmail(message)
Should I even break up the applet into three classes and objects? Since each LateTruck only needs one DriverManager and one Client, is the proper way to do this to create only one class called LateTruck which has DriverManager, DriverManagerEmail, ClientName and ClientEmail all as properties of LateTruck?
Thanks for any help in understanding the basics here.

Is that the story of Static Write and the Seven Classes and the evil stepmother Wilma Gates who kept asking "Mirror Site, Mirror Site on the web, who's got the buggiest InterDev?

Doubts in XI basics..help me with some practical examples

hi friends,
I am new to SAP XI have some basic doubts. Answer my questions with some practical examples.
1. what is meant by "Business System" and what is difference between client,customer,Business partner,3rd party
2.If a small company already using some systems like Oracle or peopleSoft,if it wants to use SAP products then what steps it has to follow.
3. SAP system means a SERVER?
4.SAPWebAs means a server software?
5.R/3 system comes under SAP system?
6.XI is also one of the SAP module..how it relates to other modules.
7.In one organization which is using SAP modules,each module will be load in separate servers?
8.PO(purchase order) means just looks like one HTML file..customer will fill the form and give it.like this,Combination of many files like this is one SAP module.Is it right assumption..?if so,then what is speciality SAP?
I have an theoretical knowledge about IR and ID and SLD.what are general business transactions happens in any business ?(like who will send cotation,PO) give some practical example for what actually happens in business?..who will do what?and what XI will do?

Hi Murali,
 1.Business System
Business systems are logical systems that function as senders or receivers within the SAP Exchange Infrastructure(XI).
Before starting with any XI interface,the Business systems involved has to be configured in SLD(The SLD acts as the central information provider for all installed system components in your system landscape.)
business system and technical system in XI
2.Third Party
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/09/6beb170d324216aaf1fe2feb8ed374/frameset.htm
eg.For the SAP system a Bank would be a third-party which would be involved in interfaces involving exchange of data(Bill Payment by customer).
3.XI(Exchange Infrastructure)
It enables you to connect systems from different vendors (non-SAP and SAP) in different versions and implemented in different programming languages (Java, ABAP, and so on) to each other.
Eg.If an interface involves Purchase Order sent from SAP system to the vendor(Non-SAP system)then,the vendor might expect a file.But the Data is in the IDOC(intermediate document) form with the SAP system.Here XI does the work of mapping the IDOC fields and the File fields and sends it to the vendor in the form of a file.
In short,always the scene is Sender-XI-Receiver.
The Sender and the Receiver depends upon the Business you are dealing with.
4.Business Partner
A person, organization, group of persons, or group of organizations in which a company has a business interest.
This can also be a person, organization or group within this company.
Examples:
Mrs. Lisa Miller
Maier Electricals Inc.
Purchasing department of Maier Electricals Inc.

Basic FCP Help for beginner

Thanks in advance for looking at my post.
I have a uni project whereby i have to make a music video for a song previously recorded.
I have videoed various shots of my band playing along to the recorded song.
They all start at different times (i.e start of video clip does not match with audio clip) yet i know that over the whole song they are in time with each other as i had the drummer play along to the recording using headphones.
So what im trying to do is load up all of the clips into FCP alongside the audio, adjust the start position for the various video clips so that they synchronise with the audio, and then lock them into place.
I would then like to cut them up into clips and move the parts that i want to use down onto the main video timeline so that they are in time with the audio.
I am mainly encountering problems with having to render these 3 minute video clips just to see if they line up with the audio which is a very time consuming process. Is there any way to use the markers and tell them to lock together, that is put a marker on the audio timeline, put markers on each video clip at the same point and line them up/snap them into place.
Any help would be much appreciated, as i mentioned in the subject i am a complete apple/FCP beginner having only done basic videos where i didnt need to have such synchronicity between audio and video.
Also on a side note when i load up the video clips into the timeline, they creat new lines V2,V3 and so on. Am i right in assuming that V1 is the final rendered timeline, or does FCP show all of the V# if they have footage on them?
Tl:dr help
Message was edited by: y0ukn0ws1t

Thanks for the response, i have looked at a few video tutorials, but i cant find one that deals with multiple video takes over a common audio take.
Are v2,3 etc slates to load up video before aligning/cutting and placing onto V1 (the main video sequence)??
With regards to this video
http://library.creativecow.net/articles/harringtonrichard/final_cut_multicamedit.php
Am i right in assuming once i have lined up all the video clips to sync with the audio i can set in and out markers on the video clips to tell FCP to use the sections that i want of each take?

Basic Newbie Help

I am sorry but I have found the docs to be a little on the sparse side. I am a developer and it seems that the docs were written by a developer that knows the system. Having NEVER implemented a proxy server before I am having a dificult time making heads or tails of implementing filtering and templates. I know their concepts and I know regex very well. I dug around looking at the obj.conf file to see if I could see how what I was doing on the admin server translated to configuration.
When I go to the Filters page for the default proxy server what the heck do I choose / do? When I select a resource from the drop down list what are those exactly? The ones like "https://.*" look to me like a regulare expression that would go with an allow/deny or some other rule set. But its something I get to choose.
Then there is the Credit/Edit Filters section that creates filters. That seems pretty straightforward but I do not know how they relate (if they do) to the resource that is selected in the Resource Selection combo box.
I assume that when you create a filter you then select it from the ALLOW or DENY list and then apply it.
No matter what I do it doesn't work right and I get all denied or all allowed. Then ther eis a template. Besides being a list of URL's how does it releate to everything else on this page?
I know this is a free product but some more effort on the docs in this VERY IMPORTANT area would be nice.
If these topics have been covered in posts, blogs, or other please direct me to them so that I can read and learn ... if not could someone that knows this aspect of Sun Proxy Server take 5 or 10 minutes and explain how these things interrelate so that I at least know how the user interface is supposed to be used.
thanks
Doug

Rahul, thanks for the reply.
In order for me to be able to manually modify the obj.conf file I need to know a few basics rules first. I would actually prefer to create the url files by hand as you suggest but unless I know where things go then it will be a lot of trial and error. I will look at the examples folder for help as well. But I have a few simple questions to get me started. These questions are based on the "Filters" tab for the proxy instance.
1) At the moment I am not doing NSAPI filters (well I don't know if I am I don't know what they are yet) I am only creating regex filters though the UI at the moment. Are those NSAPI filters?
2) Under Resource selection, there is a drop down list of existing resources and one called the entire server. I assume that the filters you create and operate upon are somehow linked with this resource, is that correct?. For now I am just trying the "entire server" resource but if I were to also create a filter for say the https:// resource which resource would rule the day. Example, if I say that www.google.com is allowed for the entire server but under the http:// resource I saw it is not allowed which resource rule takes precedense?
3) The Create and Edit filters area is self explanatory however I do not see how (through the UI) to delete a filter or disassociate it from the resource "entire server"
4) Under Operate Filters there are two drop downs for Allow and Deny. I assume again that this will set a url list to either be allowed or denied for the resource selected like "the entire server"
According to the admin UI I have a whitelist url file set for allow and NONE set for deny. The whitelist url contains the following (grabbed from the WhiteList.url file)
.*://www\.google\.com/.*
I have also tried .*://www\\.google\\.com/.*
Unless my regex is wrong I should be able to get out right? I get the following browser message:
This URL is not allowed to be proxied.
What I find odd is that even though I have selected the WhiteList for allow and NONE for deny the obj.conf file still has entries for two other url file filters I created the other day (dougs and dougs-deny) Whay are they still there ?
Here is my obj.conf.

Basic networking help

I know this is a basic question but can anyone point me to a guide or tutorial that will help me setup a network between two macs.
I have a AirPort Extreme able iBook G4 and Powerbook G4(my roommate and I) and we are wanting to be able to do three things. It is also wise to note that we are using a Netgear WGR614 v.4 wireless router. We have it set up now that we can both connect to the internet wirelessly and wired without any problems.
I will start here by saying we BOTH have our firewalls off under the 'sharing' folder in Sys Prefs
We want now to be able to transfer files amongst ourselves, browse each others iTunes music, maybe even connect to one anothers printer. In the past we managed to exchange a file through our Public folder's "Drop Box". This took us awhile to sort out what to do and got it to work by chance, then next time tried to do it again and it wouldn't work. Also as it is now I can open my finder and click "Networks" and see and alias to her computer, but I cannot connect it says the ip is incorrect or does not exist. Finally if we both have iTunes open, we can see each others computer listed but cannot connect to one another, odd thing is when either of us is at school on that network we can both see other people's computers and listen to their music, so our settings must be set up right.
So is there a walkthrough, tutorial or guide that may resolve my problems? I have tried a few searches on the net as well as the mac site and nothing has been helpful yet.
re-cap. want to share files across local network. itunes browsing, and printer sharing.
Thanks in advance
mad-elph

The File Sharing information can be found in KB 106461, Mac OS X: About File Sharing.
KB 93365, Finding and Listening to Shared iTunes Music Libraries
For Printer Sharing, on the Mac connected to the printer via USB open the Sharing preference pane and enable Printer Sharing.

LStudio 9-New User-Basic questionsPls help!

Just learning to use Logic Studio (LS) after working on Nuendo/Cubase.I have some basic questions & would have more as I Keep exploring & would appreciate your help & patience in answering these questions.
To start with I would like to know how to raise the volume level of the wave form of a track.I just imported a few wave files into a new project but the visible wave levels on some tracks are very small.In Nuendo there used to be a 'handle' & we click on the track & just raise the level by moving the mouse upward.Is this possible in LS or is there any other way to raise the wave level on the track apart from raising the track volume through the mixer?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

I'm going to be keeping this thread open for those who are patient enough to answer my basic questions as I explore Logic Studio!As I read the manual your valuable input would be of much help.My knowledge of working in Nuendo seems to make things a lot more complex while working on Logic Studio.
In Nuendo/Cubase I only knew non-destructable editing.I would like to know if there is such an undo function in Logic Studio.I think I came across an Undo function that could be done only 4 times! Not sure about that!
Also while editing on a track is there any other way to edit directly other than going into the sample editor?
Can I normalize a track directly without going into the sample editor?

How-to Basics or Help that doesn't...

I've been away from Flash for almost 10 years and now that I'm returning I remember doing certain things but I can't remember HOW to do them.
Back then I could open the Help file, search and quickly find an answer. NOW - I open the help file, search and get nothing but irrelevant answers when ALL I WANT is very basic instructions. I've tried the on-line tutorials and, while they help, they aren't comprehensive and often skip over very basic but crucial details. I've tried searching the forums and I get even more irrelevant notes. It seems that no one is asking basic questions or the threads that deals with the basics just don't show up in my search results.
know that once I get started, it will all seem to be very simple but it's so hard to get started. There has got to be a better way.
While I'm here, I may as well what ask for what I'm looking for - how to you apply a label to a frame?
Thanks.

Thank you - like I said, it's so obvious but I just didn't notice the label section under properties. This has taught me one more thing about CS4 - you have to look further than the menus when looking for answers.
Thanks again.

*Basic* Java help needed...

I feel like a complete novice for posting this kinda stuff, but i figured somebody would take 5 minutes and help me out. My final in my programming class depends on 2 programs, one of which is giving me some actual trouble.
What I have to do is create a java applet that allows a user to input their weight, select a planet, and then have their weight converted to what their weight would be on the selected planet. However, if the ouput is higher than 60 pounds, I need a picture of the michelin man to appear and the theme from star wars to play. If it is below 60, A multicolored asterisk should be displayed with applause.
I will post what code I have already made. Please note: ITS VERY VERY BASIC. I may have overcomplicated some things, and there is always more than one way to do something (in my experience). Also, I kinda just converted a temperature conversion applet, so there may be some extra stuff I don't need.
Please help.

I am guessing that you are wondering where to go from here. If so http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.5.0/demos/applets/Animator/Animator.java may prove helpful.
Also I would recommend using arrays of planet names and weight multipliers. It could make your code a lot less cumbersome.

Basic DVD Help Needed - More challenging than expected

Need help creating a basic DVD that a client needs. Here are the specs needed for the DVD:
No Menu
No Chapters
Can scrub forward and backward
Begins in DVD player in a stopped state
I can not seem to find an option to remove chapter 1 from the V1 timeline in DVD Studio Pro. Also when DVD is inserted into DVD player the video begins playing right away instead of beginning in a "stopped state" on the DVD player. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Make a black menu with a invisible button and link it to your track.
as for the chapter 1 - you can't get rid of this and is a good thing to have for what your trying to achieve anyways. That way the user can either hit play to start the video or they can hit chapter and it will play as well.
If you don't want them to be able to push anything other than play on their remote you can disable buttons.

Basic Info & Help Needed!

Hello,
I recently got Logic Pro, and a TonePort KB37.
Basically, I can't figure out how to use TonePort on Logic. I see that there's input from it, yet i cannot hear anything.
I also can't figure out how to record anything.
If you guys could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.
also if you could just offer some basic functions
like recording with my iBook internal mic or stuff like that, i would like it much.
thank you in advance
Cody Trevino

1)How Do I activate my Plug- Ins?
Please note that the Toneport DI is preactivated and a license key is not necessary.
In order to activate your Line 6 Plug-Ins there are a few steps you must take. First, please make sure you have downloaded the latest version of Line 6 Monkey from our website HERE http://www.line6.com/software/ . Once you have the Line 6 Monkey downloaded please plug in the device that contains the plug ins via USB and launch the Line 6 Monkey. On the Optional Add-Ons tab in the Monkey select “Activate Purchase” and paste your License Key in the prompt window. Select “Activate”. Once the Monkey has activated your Plug-Ins you may need to authorize your computer to use them. In the Optional Add-ons tab in Monkey click on the “Authorize” button in the top right corner. For more detailed information please refer to our Gearbox 3.0 set up guide on our website HERE. http://www.line6.com/support/knowledgebase/toneporthelp/

Aperture Basic Printing Help

Hello,
I just bought a CanonPro 9500 Mark II to print nicer quality color images from my scanned photographs. I am having trouble with my color matching. I have Aperture 1.5.6
I don't think it is my monitor because when I print 3.5x5 images through Aperture, they come out beautiful, matching the onscreen quality of the image; but when I try to print that same image at a larger size it fades out and loses all of its quality. Is there any explanation for this?
Can anyone offer some very basic steps to getting a decent quality print? I am frustrated beyond belief. In Aperture I set the proofing profile when working with the image to the "Fine Art Photo Rag" as I print on rag paper, and change some of the basic print options when at the final printing screen (ie, art paper, high quality...). I just can't get that print I want.
Any help at all would be so greatly appreciated, I am at a loss. Thanks for your time.

Hello Paul,
you need to answer some basic questions before I may give you help on how printing falses in your case. Another important think might be Aperture 1.5.6 and OS 10.5 wich can cause some trouble – but I am not really sure with this.
For me, Aperture 3.1.1 prints all sizes on sheet paper on my Epson 11880 very fine. I use for example basic photo paper but Epson Traditional Photo Paper and Epson Hot Press Bright matte Paper too and all have detailed fine art output.
Describe a bit more which profiles/paper you are using and which paper has good results.

Really basic Install help needed, please.

Assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, I've searched this whole forum and probably don't know enough to ask the right "search" questions because I haven't found the answers.
Over the past few months, I've been learning Linux as I now plan to switch from Windows to a Linux distro rather than go with a new computer and Windows 7 and the associated problems. I have tried several Linux distros individaully side by side with Windows XP on a partitioned drive.. Most recently I've been using Linux Mint 8 'Helena' and done lots with and to it. Linux Mint 9 'Isadora' was just released, and since upgrading for a non-rolling distro is a nuisance, I thought I'd try a rolling one. After review and recommendations, I thought I'd give Arch Linux a try. Since most of my computer use is music via a Jukebox (14+k files), browsing, email and info seeking, I don't need all the bells and whistles whith which many distros come. I'm not a gamer.
Basic Infor:
PC with 1.4GHz Athlon, 512 Ram, 320 G Hard Drive partitioned equally between Windows XP and Linux (hopefully Arch). High Speed DSL.
What I need are some really really basic instructions on a side by side install of Arch.
SOofar, I've got the clock set, and have partitioned my hard drive into
SDA 1 (my Windows Partition)(160 Gigs
SDA5 1200mb for my swap
SDA6 20 Gigs for the root
SDA7 130 (the rest) Gigs for home
What I need to know is darned near everything else.
Bootability for SDA5-7
How to label (the method for) SDA 5-7
and thereafter a step by step really simple set of install instructions for a side by side installation.
I've searched on this forum as well as via Google, but simple instructions are nowhere to be found. I really have had no trouble installing Mepis, Madriva, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint side by side with my Windows Xp partition and done so for at least 2 of them with manual partitioning rather than the automatic side by side install offered.
With this introduction, can someone point me to a Arch Linux side by side install for Dummies or help me with a walk through??
Or am I in completely over my head and need to just go back to Linux Mint and plan to upgrade every 6-18 months? Or try a different rolling Distro???
Thanks in advance to any and all who can help..
Dick

Willie,
Were I certain I would be happy with Arch, there would be no problem doing as you suggest. However, looking backover at least 2 decades, our first computer was an IBM with an 8086 chip and 20 whole MB of hard drive. The choice of operating systems was DOS. As we moved onwards and upwards, Windows 95, 98, and XP were Hobson's choice for PC users (our office computer used Unix). Now with more experience and research, a new world of operating systems is available, especially for those of us with older computers which would require major (and expensive) upgrades when possible to move to Windows 7. And as with Windows ME, 2000, and Vista, there is probably potential for significant problems with 7. Utilizing my current ability to have 2 (or more) OS's on my computer affords the opportunity to learn more about them and develop my 'geekiness" as well as to evaluate and selectively choose one which will best meet my needs.
As of now, I have at least 3 problems with abandoing Windows XP completely:
1) I haven't found a Jukebox program for Linux equivalent to J Rivers' Media Jukebox which has seamless track switching, an equalizer, and DSP studio effects,etc. I've used WINE doors and made it run on Linux Mint, but the program will not recognize my CD-ROM drives. I have some 14+k music files and my computer jukebox runs through my home sound system.
2) I've some 600+ movies indexed on Movie Organizer (movieorganizer.org) which flat out won't run on the Linux distro's I've tried. Re-entering those 600+ indexed movies to another program will be a bear. So far, no one of my local sources or on the other various Linux forums has a solution. WINE doors won't do it as it needs MDAC.
3) For all its frailties and faults, I'm reasonably literate with Windows XP. Linux OS's are still, quite obviously, relatively unfamiliar to me (3 mos experience).. So until I'm much more conversant with Linux, better the devil I know.
I have installed and used both the Linux Mint 8 Fluxbox and KDE editions on more than one computer so it's not a question of my being shy. BTW, I'm a retired internist, and our speciality is known for being really nitpicky, detail oriented, and investigational, and I'm sure it shows.
Again, thanks to all for the suggestions and comments. I'll keep in touch.
Dick
