Change in Development environment brings Production down !!!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone,
I am stuck here in a strange issue. Our planning application went live about a month ago. Now we are trying to migrate the Essbase reporting application to Production, but we are unable to do so for following reasons -
1.As soon as we try to expand the user list in development EAS, production essbase crashes. Doing the same thing in Production EAS makes essbase crash. It generates a xcp file. We contacted oracle support, they advised a patch which fixed this issue.
2. But here's another problem, now when we are trying to migrate an application from dev to prod, prod essbase crashes all the time.
We are using the same active directory for users in dev and prod. Is that a part of the problem?
Some days ago, one of the admin changed the admin password in shared services, but didnt change it in planning (RDBMS and Essbase Connection). It broke the planning forms. So we restored the older password again and all the applications and forms are working in Dev. But does that ring any bells?
Oracle Support is slow and isnt of much help. Please help me out if you faced the same issue and were able to resolve it.

I am not sure where this repository is. Is there a way to check if it was cloned.^^^Based on your original post, I am guessing this is an 11.1.2.x install. Is that correct? 11.1.2.0 or 11.1.2.1? Or even 11.1.1.3? If so, did you use Lifecycle Management (LCM) to migrate the application from development to production? Or did you use some other approach?
Or did you use EAS' Migration Wizard?
Pre LCM, migration was a nightmare for anything other than Essbase with databases/schemas being migrated across environments, hacks to the migrated tables, etc., etc. In Planning there was a CopyApp that I personally never had a lot of luck with. I just rebuilt the apps in the new environment -- not exactly a migration, but it worked. Hopefully today no one would do anything like this -- I have migrated Essbase and Planning apps across environments without issue (it needs to be sequenced in Planning, but is otherwise easy). Hopefully no one would use the migrate schema approach today.
Do you know if LCM was used? Or even the olde-fashioned Migration Wizard? Were it my app I'd have all of the security assignments tied up in MaxL statements that I could easily port from one environment to the other, but that's just me.
Regards,
Cameron Lackpour
P.S. I now fully expect John Goodwin/someone else smarter than me to jump in and tell me where I'm wrong on the schema migration and how it actually isn't all that bad but really, for us mere mortals, LCM does everything we need. :)

  • How to port database changes from development to a production environment

    How do I port database changes from the development to the production environment?
    I am using v8 and have always had to redo everything using the schema manager all over in the production environment. Is there an easy way to generate a script, for example to dump the database changes on the development machine to be executed later on the production machine?

    This should already be a clearly defined change control process. Once a procedure, function, package, trigger, or whatever completes the testing rounds, it should be promoted to production.
    Forgive me if it seems I'm trivializing, but I don't see the problem, just copy the object(s) from your software library (or development) into production using whatever tool works best or has been chosen. If you are doing data copies then you have various options again including good old export/import.

  • Maintain Development Environment vs Production Environment - suggestions?

    We are doing an internal application on apex.oraclecorp.com and need to of course continue to make changes to the application, even though it is now in production. We need a way of either implementing either easy version control to promote versions into production once they are tested or creating a duplicate development environment. I tried copying the application to a new application so I would have two copies, but then found that once I changed a page, copying that individual page seemed tricky to correctly copy all of the page components. We need something simple. Any suggestions for us? I do everything from my PC as I do not have a UNIX box.

  • How to bring PCUI_GP DCs to local development environment

    Hi,
    I want to create a fresh FPM based application in local development environment.
    For this I need to add the PCUI_GP DCs as used DCs.
    Currently they are not available in local development environment but only in DTR Track...
    How do i bring these DCs to local...?
    Please advise(I do not mean just by creating project from inactive Dcs but to make the whole PCUI_GP DCs available in Local)
    Thanks,
    Rocky

    Hi Rocky,
    Have you deployed the PCUI_GP component separately, As it is required very much, You can find the same on service.sap.com/swdc.
    Please deploy the same and the check out the results.
    Best regards,

  • Production System triggers alerts in development environment

    Hi all.
    I've configured Alerts in XI development environment. I haven't configured them in any other environment yet but I'm getting alerts into the Alert Inbox of development environment, triggered by production XI system. How is this possible?
    Thanks a lot,
    Gari.

    Hi Rodrigo.
    I'm sure I haven't configured PRD system for alert triggering, and it shouldn't be happening. The alert triggered from PRD system has the same text description I configured in development ALRTCATDEF.
    It is as if the alerts were being caught by the development system through any other channel. Production SLD has the DEV system registered, but I don't think this could be a possible reason. It's very strange.
    Thanks a lot,
    Gari.

  • CCB development environment setup and change handlers

    Hi i am trying to set up the development environment of CCB on my machine. I configured eclipse accordingly. i added a change handler at location C:\spl\CCBDEMO22\java\source\cm\com\splwg\cm\domain\customerinfo\person and named it as CmPerson_Chandler.java.
    CmPerson_Chandler.java
    package com.splwg.cm.domain.customerinfo.person;
    import com.splwg.base.api.changehandling.RequireRule;
    import com.splwg.base.api.changehandling.ValidationRule;
    import com.splwg.ccb.domain.customerinfo.person.Person;
    public class CmPerson_Chandler {
         public static ValidationRule emailRequiredRule() {
              return RequireRule.alwaysRequire("Person:Email is required",
              "The person's email address must be specified",
              Person.properties.emailAddress);
              public ValidationRule[] getValidationRules() {
              return new ValidationRule[] {emailRequiredRule()};
    I saved it and compiled it. Now when i open CCB and try adding a person without emailid it gets added without the validation being performed. Can anybody suggest me am i missing out any step?

    My artifact generator now works fine, i was missing out configuration under Arguments tab.
    I added a Junit test class under the same package as of CmPerson_CHandler. now when i try to run the JUNIT it guves me the error
    Class not found com.splwg.cm.domain.customerinfo.person.CmPerson_CHandler_Test

    Also when i right click deploy.xml it creates the cm.jar file under application/root/WEB-INF/lib, Do i need to deploy the jar file ? or just creation of jar file itself deploys it?
    Also after adding the CmPerson_CHandler compiling it ---> generating artifacts ----->creating cm.jar file ---> restrating server ----> then i try to add a person without email ID from application and still the person gets addedd... Can anybody suggest me why my Handler is not showing its effect..

  • Question is it possible to build a Development environment from my current production environment VMs

    My server admin thinks it is possible to setup a new development environment using copies of the Production VMs.
    He will rename the SQL Server and Sharepoint vms see below:
    SHAREPOINT SERVER
    IP: New IP Address
    FQDN: DEVSharePoint.Local
    SharePoint SQL SERVER
    IP:New IP address
    FQDN: DEVSQLSRV.Local
    Wouldn't I also need to point IIS in the VM to the new DevSharePoint and new DevSQL using the CA, but curently it is looking like the CA points back to the orignal CA and I don't want to remove a server if that is correct?  Also how would I point to
    the Central Admin Site to the new location?
    how can I quickly resolve this?  so I don't impact the current environment with testing new development?

    I think that the best if to create new dev environment.
    Then you can migrate your current SharePoint databases (Content, Services) to the new dev environment.

  • Windows 10 Enterprise Edition: Installation and Development Environment Essentials: Thoughts & Assistance Req:

    Hello,
    I am in the architecture planning stage of my project and seeking personal and general good advice from Mircosoft engineers.  I am laying the foundation stones of a new development product using at least three more new technologies that are
    as new as Windows 10. Their are also around four or five technology partners with the latest version of their software that I wish to take onboard. Due to the sensitive nature of the project it is not wise for me to state each piece of technology used,
    so I will be as accurate as possible using the limited means I have.
    I wish to make a "closed" development environment, with the latest build (currently 9860), install the new software. Some of which installs fine, some of which is not compatabile with Windows 10. Regarding the latter I am in discussions with the
    technology providers to make a work-around and hammer and chisel through every issue. Very soon I hope to have a fully stable working development environment which paves the road to a first prototype. So i need to make a decision soon to "lock
    down" everything. I will miss Windows 10 updates but the advantage is when the project vertical slice is complete, the feedback and benefit will be larger for Windows 10 final product.
    This is probably my fifth or sixth early evaluation of the Windows platform and I am aware of the highs and lows of working with various versions using new builds, from the stability of win98 (becoming 2000 - minus millennium 1999 edition), to the quick uninstall
    of vista (it broke our internal projects). The solid bedrock of Windows NT (becoming XP) and so on. The good news is Windows 10 seems very good indeed.
    My questions are two:
    1) Would the windows team recommend a closed environment development in my situation, and are they aware of other developers doing it (is it wise from your end)? Is their a pool, can we communicate directly?
    or
    2) Would you recommend an open environment instead? Every install is updated, everything is all on-line and networked, this may lead to more breakages and sacrifice the finished product.
    The problem with approach number 2 is that a particular technology  may work with this build, but not the next one and vice versa. I will constantly be playing "bunny hop" trying to make it work.
    The problem with using number 1 is that you can have a "false dawn" view of the project, meaning you have managed to get it stable and develop code that fits that environment and build, but as soon as you do update six months later, it breaks due
    to feature change, it means massive re-work, ultimately breaking the product again.
    I have seen these approaches drown larger projects and wash away whole development teams.
    Its a tough one and a part of my R&D but very soon I need to make a decision.
    To explain more, some of the technology used will be:
    Windows 10 Enterprise - Perforce - Office 365 with Exchange Activ Synch - Any associated Intel CPU and GPU monitors.
    In other words very stable and solid technology. Their is about an equal number of other techs that are not so stable but I am slowly getting to work under Windows 10.All feedback would be given to Microsoft, regardless of environment 1 or 2.
    Any advice and help from the Microsoft Team is greatly appreciated.
    Yours Kindly,
    Asad

    I recently went to an Enterprise Mobility Summit Microsoft was holding at one of their facilities, and they spoke a bit about the future of Windows 10 - and here's what I left with: Microsoft isn't really sure themselves what kind of updating scheme they're
    going to be doing with Windows 10.  They had some ideas, but they're looking for feedback from enterprises and engineers about their plan. 
    I don't think it was under an NDA, so I should have no problem discussing it:  their idea was to have different tracks (based on the user) with different upgrade schedules based on what the administrator deems appropriate for that user.  For instance,
    a consumer would have their OS automatically updated as soon as the update was available. while enterprises could stagger their users to a more manageable 3-month or 6-month schedule.  Microsoft wasn't sure how long to make this stagger schedule - talk
    of a 1 year stagger were floated, but nothing concrete.  Critical devices, like POS or ATMs, could be setup so they would never be upgraded, or only upgraded when the administrator specifically allows them to be upgraded. 
    For you personally, it sounds like a closed development environment is better, since you're testing critical business applications.  Again, one never knows exactly what direction Microsoft will take, but with the amount of conversations and...
    warnings that dropped by various people at this meeting, it's pretty safe to say that they'll be some sort of timed release schedule for enterprises that you can prepare for. 
    Hope that helps!

  • Serious performance issue with LV 7.1 Development Environment

    I'm posting this issue to the forums prior to submitting a bug report to ensure that the problems I'm having are reproducible. To reproduce this bug, you're going to have to be an advanced user with a large project (hundreds to thousands of VIs) as the performance problem is related to the number of VIs loaded.
    The issue is the increasingly poor performance of the LabVIEW 7.1 Development Environment as the number of VIs in memory increases. The actions affected include switching between front panel and diagram, saving a VI, copy and paste, clicking a menu, and the mysterious time spent (compiling? editing the runtime menu? changing the toolbar state?) between pressing the run button and when the code actually starts executing. Scrolling and, interestingly, copying via a control-drag are not affected. Running time of entirely on-diagram code does not seem to be affected.
    These problems are quite severe and significantly decrease my productivity as a programmer. Since they are development environment UI issues, it's been difficult for me to find a good example VI; the best I can do is the attached "LV Speed Test.vi". It doesn't test the issues that affect me most, but it seems to suffer from the same problem.
    This simple VI just shows and hides the menu bar 100 times in a tight for loop. When it is the only VI loaded, it executes in about 350 msec on my machine. (2.4 GHz P-IV/640 MB RAM/Win2k). However, when I load a single project-encompassing VI (let's call it the "giant") that references a total of about 900 user and VI-lib subVIs, the test routine takes almost a minute and half to run...about 240 times slower! I've tried this on my laptop with similar results.
    The problem appears to be related to the *number* of VIs loaded and not the memory utilization. For example, if I close the "giant", and create a new VI ("memhog") that does nothing but initialize a length 20,000,000 array of doubles and stores it in an uninitialized shift register, LabView's overall memory usage (as shown in the task manager) jumps enormously, but LV Speed Test executes in about 450 msec...only slightly slower than with a fresh copy of Labview.
    The problem seems to be related to excessive context switching. The Windows task manager shows over a thirteen hundred page faults occur when "LV Speed Test" is run with the "giant" in the background, versus zero or none when run by itself or when "memhog" has used up 160+MB of space.
    The problem only seems to affect the frontmost window. (Unfortunately, that's where we LV programmers spend all of our time!) If you start "LV Speed Test" and then put "giant" in the foreground "LV Speed Test" runs much faster. In fact, if you use the VI server to put the "giant" VI in the foreground programmatically at the start of "LV Speed Test", execution time drops back to 450 msec, and there are no page faults!
    These results show the issue is not related to video drivers or the Windows virtual memory system. My suspicion is that there is a faulty routine in LV 7.1 that is traversing the entire VI hierarchy every time certain events are thrown in the foreground window. It could be due to a problem with the Windows event tracking system, but this seems less likely.
    I have been programming LV for about 7 years and switched from LV 6.1 to 7.1 about four months ago. I know NI engineers have put thousands of hours developing and testing LV 7.1, but honestly I find myself wishing I had never upgraded from using LV 6.1. (To whomever thought "hide trailing zeros" should be the default for floating point controls...what were you thinking?!)
    I know each new version of LabView causes old-timers like me to grouse that things were better back in the days when we etched our block diagrams on stone tablets, etc., and honestly I'm not going to go back. I am committed to LabView 7.1. I just wish it were not so slow on my big projects!

    Hi,
    I can confirm this behavior. Setting the execution system to "user
    interface" helps a bit, but there is still a big difference.
    I get a feeling it has something to do with window messages, perhaps
    WM_PAINT or something, that is handled differently if a VI is not
    frontmost... But what do I know...
    Don't know if it should be called a bug, but it sure is something that could
    be optimized.
    Regards,
    Wiebe.

  • Problem installing Adhoc version to iPhone and iPad - Development Environment Is - Adobe Flash CS6

    Hi,
    I have successfully submitted 2 versions of the application. There are 2 different versions for iPad and iPhone separately. These were developed using Adobe Flash CS6 and AIR SDK - 4.0.0.1628. The category is Lifestyle and app is free.
    Now I wanted to add new feature of push notification to both iPad and iPhone versions. I have successfully tested the development version with development profiles and certificates over iPad and iPhone.
    Before submitting the app to Appstore I was trying to test the Adhoc version with production environment and profiles but application was not installing to the iPad, it is the same iPad that is used for development. But after searching forums and other help Adhoc version was not installed to iPad the solutions that were tried are as under:
    1. Create new certificates and profile for Adhoc
    2. Change Entitlement tags in Application xml file
    3. Remove existing profiles from iPad to avoid error.
    4. Update OS version of iPad to 8.1
    But once I try to last point -  [4] even development version is not installing. Because there are no provision profiles installed.
    Can you please help/guide me how to fix it? I need to test both development and Adhoc versions on the iPad and iPhone.
    Some more information -->>

  • Development environment model

    Hi All,
    As the WebLogic server is not cheap (!), we were wondering what model you
    used in your development environments? Obviously, it would be very
    expensive for each developer to have their own copy installed on their local
    machine, but how do you manage multiple developers working on the same
    application with the same server on a central machine, possibly modifying
    the same beans or beans used by others, and deploying them to the same
    server? Also, problems could occur if a problem is introduced into a bean
    used by others. Does anyone have a tried and true method for managing this
    and keeping multiple developers from interfering with the work of others?
    Thanks!!!
    Elaine

    I do not think you are going to find a solution to the problems presented by
    parallel development of a project. That is simply just a fact of life I
    think. But I think that there are things that you can do to mitigate
    interference.
    In our development environment, we have a central repository that keeps all
    of the code. There are multiple source lines. Developers map the source
    lines to their machines. For example, your commerce application might have
    a production line and a development line. You would make bug fixes for your
    production code in the production line while you made advanced development
    changes in the other line. A release team would bundle of the development
    line and make "releases" of the product/site.
    As for development environments, each developer should be able to have a
    copy of the developer seat for WebLogic on their box. In our situation,
    developers synchronize against the code line regularly. This provides the
    benefit of using a stable code line but also synchronizing up against others
    changes on a regular basis.
    Some other application server vendors have tried a different technique for
    development environments. One of those is requiring that you have a central
    "test server" that is shared by all of the developers instead of
    environments for each developer. In theory, the sounds good. But in
    practice, it can be a real nightmare.
    I hope that this helps.

    expensive for each developer to have their own copy installed on theirlocal
    machine, but how do you manage multiple developers working on the same
    application with the same server on a central machine, possibly modifying
    the same beans or beans used by others, and deploying them to the same
    server? Also, problems could occur if a problem is introduced into a bean
    used by others. Does anyone have a tried and true method for managingthis
    and keeping multiple developers from interfering with the work of others?
    Thanks!!!

  • Advice on Promoting Master Data Services Changes from one environment to another, e.g. DEV to UAT

    Hi,
    Has anyone got experience of creating a script to promote Master Data Services changes from one environment to another, e.g. Development to Production please?
    The changes basically consist of adding several new MDS members which can be accessed via Excel.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kind Regards,
    Kieran.

    In MDS terminology an Entity is metadata, and Entity Members are the data. 
    Typically changes to an Entity (ie model design changes) are promoted to different environments.  Model design changes can be replicated manually in each environment or you can Export the model and Import it into the target environment.
    Adding, editing and deleting entity members is performed directly in each environment.
    If you want to selectively import data from a Dev environment, you can use staging.

  • Multiple Developer Environement

    All,
    Has anyone set up a development environment using WLS 5.1 for multiple developers?
    We've got enough developer licenses to have everyone with a local copy of WLS but
    we need to be able to access a central repository for the webapp.
    What we want to do is have the WLS be able to deploy the web app at start up, but
    if it can't find the class required in the web app class path, find a copy on the
    central repository.
    In JBuilder you can have hierarchical source files, can you do this in WLS or will
    this result in ClassCastExceptions and ClassNotFoundExceptions?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Cheers

    Hello Mahesh,
    We have a large number of CAF Entity/Application Services which
    logically relate to each other so we need to put them all in one CAF DC.
    The development work is distributed to several developers.
    If what we experienced stands true and can not be changed, the development
    productivity is largely constrained.
    In SAP Note #928315 "CAF 7.0 SP7 Explanation of CAF-JDI integration
    questions", IMO, it says that as long as the modified files in each developer's
    actvity does not overlap, concurrent modifications by multple people
    to one CAF DC is allowed.
    Supposedly there is a solution for this.

  • Uninstall TestStand development environment

    My customer has a full installation of TestStand 2.0 and LabVIEW 6.1 on a machine that they wanted me to configure with a run-time TestStand/LabVIEW for use on the production floor. The run-time software is up and running fine but I would like to uninstall all of the development TestStand and LabVIEW programs as they are not needed anymore and leave the run-time items. How do I go about this?

    ArtTCG,
    You should be able to go to the Control Panel and then choose Add/Remove Programs. NI TestStand should appear in the list. Click Change/Remove and you can choose what components you want to remove. As long as you leave the TestStand Engine and the Operator Interface that you are using on that machine, you should be fine to uninstall other components.
    I think for LabVIEW, you should have 2 entries. One for the LabVIEW Development System and one for the NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. I have the 6.1 Run-Time Engine installed and it shows up in Add/Remove Programs, but I don't have the LabVIEW 6.1 Development Environment installed so that might change how it appears.
    If you need more help, let me know and I'll try to find someone in our LabVIEW group t
    o help out with that part.
