Central Repository Performance

We have recently upgraded to data Services 4.2, sp1, patch 4. We have been seeing very slow performance when checking things in and out of our development secured central repository. The performance seems worse than it was in our 4.0 environment.
I know that we have a large volume of objects in our central repository (84 projects, 419 jobs, etc.) and we have about 7o local development repositories hooked to it. I am sure these may all be contributing factors to performance but are there other things I can be on the lookout for or settings that could help improve performance.

As a follow up here is some of the performance degradation we are seeing. This includes logging in to our 4.2 repositorys as well as get latest on various size projects. The 4.0 test was done with a designer on a virtual server, the first 4.2 test was also a designer on a virtual machine, and the last was with designer on the data services job server.

It's a sql DBMS, and the default user language is spanish, during the installation was the same issue.
The first installation user language was english and everything was ok, then the default user anguage was set to spanish and the jobs crashed because an english format was sent to the al_history table. I tried to recreate the repository and an error ocurrer during the creation.
has someone faced the same problem?

what is the version of Data Services ? if its 12.2, then there was a bug that is fixed in 12.2 SP1 (12.2.1.0), apply the SP1 or it would be better if you apply the latest fix pack for 12.2 i.e 12.2.1.2
the problem was with date format used in insert was different than the user's default date format.

Upgrade to 4.2 SP4 corrupted custom functions in central repository

I recently upgraded a repository from 4.2 SP1 to 4.2 SP4 and all the custom functions in the central repository (after being upgraded with repository manager) are no longer able to be check-out, can't get latest version, can't even export them... nothing. Each time I interact with anything dependent on these functions I get the following error:
I've logged out completely, refreshed multiple times and nothing is solving the issue. The functions correctly show up, but cannot be edited in any way. Please help.
both local and central repos are on MS SQL Server 2008 R2.

Hi Matthew,
Did the upgrade process from 4.2 SP1 to 4.2 SP4 complete successfully when you upgraded using Repository Manager.
If you have a backup of 4.2 SP1 repository version can you please upgrade the repository to 4.2 SP4 and check the Latest version after upgrade is finished successfully.
It seems that you are directly doing a Check in of dependent objects first.
Try the below steps:
1) First add only the object without dependents
2) Add only the custom function to the central repository see if that works
Please note the following points
You can add a single object to the central repository, or you can add an object with all of its dependents to the central repository. When you add a single object, such as a data flow, you add only that object. No dependent objects are added.
The error message suggests that dependent objects is missing.
Please refer to Advanced DS reference Guide
Refer to section
To add an object and its dependent objects to the central repository

Manipulating Central repository

Hi,
I have a question over the Central repository in Data Services. Let's say, user2 (a local repository user) checked out a job say job_1 from the central repository. Then say , we deleted the user2 local repository( i.e deleted user2 from the database). Now, how do we change the checkout status of the job job_1(checked out to user2) in the central repository so that other users (other local repositories) can check out. We encountered a similar situation today, i would really appreciate if anybody can provide a solution for the above problem. thanks In advance.

If you have deleted the local repository that have locked these objects out, possibly the only option to get them released is using the UPDATE script on the Central Repository database. It has happened to us as well and running the script below fixed the issue.
1. Run the query below on your Central Repository database. You should see the list of checked out obejcts in the result:
SELECT * FROM ALVW_OBJ_CINOUT
WHERE STATE <> 0
2. Identify those that you intend to released (only those which belong to the deleted Local Repository) and run a UPDATE script like below to update the State column value to 0.
For example:
UPDATE [Table Name]
SET State = 0
WHERE Name = xxxxx
Based on the object type the Table Name is different. Below is the list of table names:
AL_LANG (This table contains the info about Job obejcts, such as Job, WF, DF)
AL_FUNCINFO (This table contains the info about custom functions)
AL_PROJECTS (This table contains the info about Projects)
AL_SCHEMA (This table contains the info about db schemas such as tables)
Therefore based on the type of the checked it object type, you should run the UPDATE statement on one of more of the above tables. For example the script below unlock the dataflow called MyTest_DF:
UPDATE AL_LANG
SET State = 0,
        CheckOut_DT = NULL,
        CheckOut_Repo = NULL
WHERE Name = 'MyTest_DF'    --- The name of the checked out object that we want to release.
Note- Please MAKE SURE you have a back up from your Central Repository before doing the update, just in case if you needed to revert the changes back. It should be seen as the last resort to unlock the objects, next time you might be more careful to delete a local repositiry, ensure no obejct is checked out by it

BlazeDS in Maven central repository

I'm trying to use Maven 2 for building a Flex-BlazeDS-Spring project but I can't find BlazeDS libraries in any public repository. That would be great if BlazeDS libraries were uploaded.
See http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html

The thing is that BlazeDS is built using Ant so I guess it's not easy for them to extract maven artifacts and their POMs.
But if this 1.0.0-beta1 is in fact a 3.0.0.x, I'll try with that.

Remove an oracle home entry from the central repository

Does anyone know how to remove an oracle home entry from the central repository (inventory.xml file), after the oracle home in question has been deleted. It is left behind and I want to clean it up.
thanks

I went to the link you have posted and it did not help me.
I cannot get rid of my Oracle Home directory. When I attempt to delete this folder, I
get an error message:
oci.dll ...is write protected or in use..
So I deleted this oci.dll file. Then I rebooted and tried to delete the OraHome directory (folder)
again, and I get the SAME error!!
Thanks for any advice.

Orphan objects in Central Repository

Hi guys
I need to identify the orphan workflows and dataflows that exist in the Central Repository but are not linked and used anywhere. They were used to be referenced but as not anymore and I want to idenify and delete them from Central Repo.
Have you any idea how to do that?
Thank you.

Hi,
Go to the top level object as per the hierarchy in the Central Repository (Project / Job / Work Flow etc.), right click the object and choose checkout with filtering / get latest version with filtering (based on the permission full / read) on your object.
This will show a window with all the dependents of the object which you have chosen. If the window shows destination status of only one object (the object which you have already chosen), then you can confirm that there are no dependent objects for this in the Central Repository. If you have full permission on this object, you can right click and delete the same from Central Repository.

Compact Central Repository : how to disable ?

I want to avoid that the developers are able to compact their active central repository.
To do so, I have removed the delete-right from the database account with which we connect to the central repository.
Consequently, the compact central repository fails. This is the expected result.
However, I notice that a "Add To Central Repository" operation does not work anymore. (error message saying that there will be a delete in the table AL_OBJ_PERMS)
What is the best way to disable the Compact Central Repository command ?
Thanks

I don't think its possible to disable the compact repo functionality for central repo, only thing is it gives a warning when you try to compact the repo but doesn't prevents you from doing that
instead of disabling delete for the database is it possible to disable delete from some of the selected tables ?

Upgrade Secure Central repository to NON Secure central

Hello Everyone,
Is it possible to to upgrade from a secure central repository to an non secure central repository?
When I try to upgrade the SECURE central repository to NON SECURE in the Data Service Repository Manager.
I met the error message below:
It is not allowed to upgrade from a secure central repository to an non secure central repository. (BODI-300081)
Thanks for your help
Xin

It is not possible to upgrade as "Dirk" suggested but also need to understand that you cannot login in Secure Central repository, Only way is move all data in local repository then move secure central repository.
Thanks,

Central Repository

We have about 300 users with new iPhones.
We want to send out a periodic reminder to our users to sync their phones so they are backed up and get the latest software.
Our concern is everyone downloading updates off the internet at the same time and causing congestion.
We have approx 100 Macs and 200 PC's.
Is there a way to have them get their updates from an internal resource as opposed to everyone downloading from the internet?

Central MDM Performance

MDM: 7.1 SP6
CE 7.2
Fields in main table (customer): 75
Total records: approx 500,000
MDM JAVA API and Web Services Configurator used
Hi,
Has anyone, using MDM for central master data maintenance, carried out performance tests on their systems? Do you get good performance (lets say 3-5 secs response). Does your system scale when multiple users send concurrent requests to the MDM server to update records? Do you experience a bottleneck due to MDM product design?
Any learnings will be much appreicated...
Thanks and regards,
Shehryar

Hi Shehryar,
what OS system do you use? I have experienced that especially on AIX/Unix systems performance issues occur because of incorrect AIX memory handling parameter settings (e.g. "ulimit"). As an example - although one of my customers had 60GB RAM we got memory and therefore performance issues because ulimit was set to 32MB. In general I would say - this is really important to have all these parameters right!
Pls do also check following notes:
1282668 - Performance settings for AIX
973227 - AIX Virtual Memory Management- Tuning Recommendations,
1012745 - Tips for improving MDM performance,
1240587 - MDM 5.5 and 7.1 Low performance when MDM workflow is used,
Moreover, pls do also keep in mind that e.g. MDM Data Manager is actually an administrative tool, i.e. not really suitable for mass user access! Pls do therefore also check # 1512323 - Number of Data Manager instances affects performance. Instead, for that sort of access - you should use e.g. Portal or CE (--> BPM) etc.
If you don't use Portal or CE - pls setup your environment in a way so that import server is used instead of manual modifications!
Example: instead of having 10 users logged on via rich client doing mass changes - you might want to consider a way where you prepare an upload template file (xml or txt format) that you use to feed import server. IS does the job right away, All you need to do is to check whether the import went through the right way etc.
Pls do also not forget to delete all completed workflows as they have a big impact on the MDS performance! In SP06 it is possible to archive them which should be done periodically (e.g. via clix). If you have many WFs to trigger - this really helps increasing performance.
Another important point are all In-/outbounds directories. Here, you might want to bring in periodic jobs that empty your Archive folders (Repository --> Remote System --> Port --> Archive ).
Moreover, delete all unreferenced tables and fields in your data model. You might also want to deactivate change tracking on all fields (in case it is activated). Pls do also check Sort Index parameters, whether you need Stemmers, etc etc etc.
It looks simple to setup a proper working MDM - however it requires a lot of experience and technical expertise!
Hope this helps!
Best Regards,
Erdal

Central repository for Invoices & Credit Notes

Hi, I would like to use the "Export to MS Word" to export a Word copy of all inoives to a central directory, problems are:
1. How can I change it from exporting to default "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\SAP Business One\WordDocs\DBNAME\CUSTOMER_CODE". I would prefer that all SAP client export via this feature to a central directory share, also
2. Is there an auto way to rather export/print to PDF.
Riaan

Hi Riaan,
Could you confirm your current path set is correct to the shared folder? It should be something like
YourServer\B1_SHR\WordDocs\*LanguageCode*. Check if you have that kind of folder on your B1 shared server.
Thanks,
Gordon
