Adding formulas via ADS file - How to Handle Members with Spaces

greetings,
I'm building onto an existing dimension using an ADS file in EPMA where some of the members have formulas. The problem is the ADS load is not consistent with the double quotes where at times the double quotes are retained after deployment, while at other times they are not, thus giving a formula error in Essbase.
The ads file shows something like this: IF(@ISIDESC (""SPECIFIC ACCOUNT"")) ""JAN2012""; ELSE ""JAN2013""; ENDIF
In Essbase, the quotes around SPECIFIC ACCOUNT are removed: IF(@ISIDESC (SPECIFIC ACCOUNT)) ""JAN2012""; ELSE ""JAN2013""; ENDIF
We're on 11.1.1.4.
I've tried various things, such as surrounding the double quote with single quotes, nothing seems to work... Any help is greatly appreciated...

EPMA - Load dim build with ADS Question

Hi,
I have a ADS file to build my Accounts Dimension. When I run it through the process all the UDA's which I have four of them on some accounts show up in EPMA just fine. When I deploy only one of them shows up in Essbase. Any ideas?

Heard there is a bug and Oracle is working on this issue? Didn't get any details as I'm unable to login to that part of system.

How to build a jar file so the program can access its resources folder?

I have a java program written by someone else in which I have made a trivial change (I changed the background color). The jar file runs but it does not find one of the resources file.
Here is the project folder's structure
mainClass.txt (manifest text file)
folder resources (includes file Java does not find: order.txt, a text file)
folder CFPT ( includes .class files)
folder cpl (includes .class files)
folder results
I tried
jar cvmf mainClass.txt CFPT0.jar CFPT/*.class cpl/*.class resources results
I get a lot of "adding: resources/..."
including the one pertaining to the files which is later not found
adding: resources/order.txt(in = 411) (out= 169)(deflated 58%)
the code that chokes right now is the following,
Object i = new Object();
InputStream is = i.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/resources/" + resourceName);
when I run java -jar CFPT0.jar the program runs
but it soon gives an error, cannot find resourceName order.txt (is == null)
I have Core Java Volume 1 page 498 but it does not help me figure out what I am doing wrong.
Can somone help me build the jar file correctly so the program can find its resources?
Is this a classpath issue? What do I need to do?

My last mainClass.txt file content:
Main-Class: CFPT.CFPTRunner
Class-Path: ./resources ./results
I also tried
Class-Path: resources results
Initially I only had the first line.
I put back /resources in the java file as the / is necessary to indicate absolute path.
Otherwise it looks relative to calling class.
I tried adding the path on the second line of the manifest file per Wikipedia example
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classpath
I looked at
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/lang/resources.html
If you use the -sourcepath option, the compiler searches the indicated path for source files; otherwise the compiler searches the user class path both for class files and source files.
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/lang/resources.html
resources
I took out the -d classes and compiled the .class files right with the java files in case that was the problem
javac -classpath . CFPT/CFPTRunner.java
jar cvmf mainClass.txt CFPT0.jar CFPT/*.class cpl/*.class resources results
java -jar CFPT0.jar
Still no go

Error while loading members using ads file in EPMA planning app in 11.1.2.2

Hi,
I am trying to update the dimension using ads file in EPMA application(11.1.2.2).
1. I am getting following error:
"The member 'xxx' cannot be created or inserted into the shared dimension 'yyy' within the application 'abc' during application import as this is not allowed by the system. Property updates for this member will not be processed."
2. Also, I am trying to create shared dimension using ads file. I am replacing Isprimary property to 'N' and Datastore property to 'ShareData' in the ads file. There is no error while doing it and the status is 100% complete but I could not see any changes in the hierarchy.
Any help would be great in this.
Thanks

I found the log file, if you can help clarify the reason for this issue:

EPMA 11.1.2.2, EPMA Interface tables, .ADS File

DRM Gurus!
I'm looking for recommendations for updating EPMA with DRM. Thoughts about loading the EPMA interface tables vs using the new EPMA interface that comes with DRM 11.1.2.2 (creates the .ads file)? This client is going to have a large number of attributes... in case that matters. Recommendations are appreciated!
Cheers!

Use the DRM to EPMA templates to create .ADS files. I tend to be a late adopter of new software, i.e., DRM to EPMA using the DRM Web Services API. Wait until the bugs have been ironed out and then try the new adapter on your next gig perhaps.

RH10 variable and build tag source file names

I'm using RH10 and outputting to WebHelp. My company requires that I archive project source files to our CVS via Eclipse. I am not using RoboSource_Control and must use the company's development resources for archiving.
Since archiving the initial project, I have been uploading only source files with modified dates.
However, I have discovered that the files I thought were storing user variables and build tags are not the correct files to archive. Since I am uploading all files with a newer date and that's not working, I need to know the user variable source file name and the build tag source file name that stores the currently defined variables and build tags.
I have already tried the WebHelp forum and was directed to this forum to pose the question because I'm looking for source file information instead of output file information.
Thanks for your help!
karen

Yes, Eclipse does work that way. However, we do not use our development directory as the local Eclipse repository. I need to move changed files to the local repository (stores all source files in the project) so that Eclipse can upload changes to the server. Yes, this is planned redundancy.
That said, it is not acceptable to spend the time copying all files in the large projects from the work folder to the local repository. I simply need to know which individual files to copy that include the currently defined variables and build tags. Note, we do not copy the SSL folder output files to our local source file repository, or other associated reference files that are not actually project source files.
Can you find someone who knows which files I need?
Thanks,
karen

Building a war file with a folder structure

How do a build a war file with a folder structure? I have code that creates JarEntrys and writes jar files and resource files etc. to the war. When I look at the war that gets created using winzip the path names for all the entries are correct and everything appears correct. When I try to deploy this to Tomcat nothing deploys. It appears my war is in a folder structure. How can a build this folder structure in the war? When I look at a good war using BeyondCompare I see folders and files in the folders just like I would see looking at a directory on my system. When I use BeyondCompare to view one of my "bad" war files that I have created everything is in the root. There are no folders and no folder structure. I am using the java.util.jar API to create the war but I don't see any methods or any API that will let me build up any sort of folder structure. It seems like I am missing something basic here.

command is same for creating jar/war/ear.
u simply need to execute jar /? for detail.

Xcode 4 - last build phase "copy files" gets build stuck

I really like the new XCode, but I'm having one really annoying issue. When I try to add new build phase "Copy Files" after every other build phases, which copies the final product component to some directory, the build just gets stuck.
This is what I mean, try it yourself:
1. Create a new project - choose System Plug-In - Audio Unit effect. Name it as, let's say "Doo"
2. Open project target named as "Doo".
3. Add new build phase - Add Copy Files to the end of the list.
4. Press + and add Doo.component from the Products to the list.
5. Select "Absolute path" as a destination (in this case I'd like to have the component in Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components-directory).
6. Build.
-> build gets stuck
Build goes successful, if Doo.component is removed from the list.
This was working in XCode 3.x. And regarding to documents this is meant to be like "make install" phase in the end of the build, and should work.
Or, am I doing something wrong?

Utility to extract ADS file from Planning application

Hi,
We had a Planning System 9.3 Classic application. We wanted to create a replica of the same as an EPMA application. We used a utility to extract ADS file from classic application. Post that the classic application has locked i.e we are not able to edit it. All dimensions are in view mode. Kindly let us know how to revert back in edit mode for classic application.
Thanks and Regards,
Meenal Dhall

Hi,
I think you have come across the bug in the EPMA extractor, if I remember correctly it changes a value in a table which stops you editing in classic.
You can resolve this looking at your planning system database.
There is a table called HSPSYS_PROPERTIES.
The field property_id is the application id, you find what application it relates to by looking at HSPSYS_APPLICATION
Once you know the id for your application
In the table HSPSYS_PROPERTIES look for a row with EDIT_DIM_ENABLED and change the value in the next field from false to true
Restart planning and you should be able to edit again.
Cheers
John

Building an XML file

I'm trying to build an XML file in Java to persist data for an application between sessions. I'd like to build a structure like this
<Files>
<Entry>somefile.txt</Entry>
<Entry>otherfile.txt</Entry>
</Files>
How can I do this using JDK 1.4? I've figured out how to generate it with attributes:
<Files>
<Entry entry=somefile.txt/>
<Entry entry=otherfile.txt/>
</Files>
But that's not the way I need to do it. Can anyone make a suggestion?
Thanks.

You need to create Text nodes and append them to your Entry nodes. Say you have a Document, doc:
Element files = doc.createElement("Files");
doc.appendChild(files);
Element Entry = doc.createElement("Entry");
files.appendChild(entry);
Text text = doc.createTextNode("somefile.txt");
entry.appendChild(text);Output:
<Files>
<Entry>somefile.txt</Entry>
</Files>
Hope that helps.

EPMA Ads File generation using excel

Hi,
We had a classic planning application at our client and now we have decided to move on to EPMA. I have used EPMA file generator to extract ads file from Planning application & uploaded it to the shared library successfully. Now I want to add a UDA to the accounts dimension members. HOwever I want to export this file in to spreadsheet so that I can update the UDA and reload it back to the planning application.
However the moment i open in excel & make changes the formatting messes up and loads of unnecessary commas emerge.
Has anyone tried a better way of doing it?
Cheers,
XXX

Hi,
There are two methods to do this task:-
Excel -
1. Copy all the contents of the ADS file to the Excel sheet
2. Use text to columns feature and split the properties based on the pipe separator (|)
3. Add the lines you want to
4. Concatenate them with the pipe separator and paste it in ADS
Notepad ++ (I agree with Todd Johnson)
1. Open the file in Notepad++
2. make add the lines without making mistakes (it has a lot of rich features that improve accuracy)
3. save it and use it.
Thanks.

Building IdcCommand command file to archive from UCM

Hi,
I'm trying to build a command file to be run by the IdcCommand utility to archive files that have expired. Is it possible to set the export query in the command file? I know how to export the archive once the archive has been built, but I'm stuck on constructing the archive from the command line.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks!

What's the benefit of creating the archive each time the command is run? wouldn't that create an excess of archives?
Could you create one archive via the archiver applet and trigger the export via idccommand? Each export would be stored as separate batches within the archive, if configured to do so.
Thanks,
-ryan

ADS file encoding

I have found that you can explicitelly define ADS flat file formatting (meaning unicode or non-unicode). Unfortunatelly, I have lost it. Could anyone help me? I know that it was in header of this file, but I can't remember anything else. :(
Because I need to load cyrillic characters using ADS file, so the file has to be in unicode mode...
Thanks a lot!
Vlado

I have found it. :)
The first line of flat file has to be:
//ESS_LOCALE <locale-name>

Segmentation Builder Using ADS -Analytical data Storage

Hi -
We are using ADS -Analytical Data Storage in Segement Builder. ADS brings in info objects from BW and then Infoset is created on that ADS .Infoset is then used as Data Source in Segment Builder. We are looking for some information on following. Any help will be greatly Appreciated -
1.Is any other customers using ADS (Analytical Data source) in Segmentation builder , and how their experience has been ?
2. We have large number of records, in millions which will be pulled from BW to CRM ADS. Can there be any performance issues, are there any know issues ?
3. Keeping in mind the performance issue, we haves divided ADS into several tables. However number of records in one table can be much more than other tables as these tables correspond to different customer types. What should be the optimal no of records in one table ? Is there any better way to define ADS ? -
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks. - MP

Hello Mohanpreet,
We are pushing data from BW to CRM for subsequent generation of BP in CRM system ; and for this we are exploring APD functionality.
I am using ADS adapter in CRM and have made proper entries in CRM system( ref. screen 'Release data target adapter' in CRM system)
Now, when I go back to BW system and start to design my landsape in APD trnx. ; there I'm selecting CRM as my target system - which is connected to BW via RFC.
The problem come when I'm trying to deifne attributes of CRM system then while selecing 'ADS as traget adapter' I"m getting an error as " CRM error : Adapter 'ADS' not known " !!!
How do I solve this error. I'm totally stuck up at this point.
Please advice. Due points will be awarded.
