Client variable storage setting

Here is a little question hope someone can shine some light
on it.
Right now I am using the database as the client variable
storage in CF (with options of Purge data for 1 day and Disable
global client variable updates ). But it gives the database server
a really heavy load (50-90% CPU usage average) and I believe this
is the bottleneck of the time it takes CF serving the pages. I was
wondering that is this good idea to put the client variable storage
back to the Registry or cookie (for a quick fix until we upgrade
the servers in 4 weeks)? We have average of 46000 page view/day and
9000 visits/day.

Thanks

It is a bottleneck. But on 46k pages views with that high of
a CPU load, you must really have a very undersized db server. We're
doing 3 million page views/day and about 65% of those use client
variables and it doesn't even phase our db server.
Putting them into a cookie shoudl work just fine. I wouldn't
use the registry setting. It'll make a mess of your registry.
You should consider session variables where possible. Those
stay in server memory.

Client variables storage in production environment?

Right now we are using Registry to store client variables in production environment, will changing it to Database increase the performance? or what i heard from my colleague is that In production environment , using Database for client storage is not advisable! how true is his statement.

His statement is completely wrong. The docs talk about this here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec0c35c -7fd5.html
Specifically, read this paragraph from that reference:
Choosing a client variable storage method
By default, ColdFusion stores client variables in the Registry. In most cases, however, it is more appropriate to store the information as client cookies or in a SQL database.
The ColdFusion Administrator Client Variables page controls the default client variable location. You can override the default location by specifying a This.clientStorage value in Application.cfc or by setting the clientStorage attribute in thecfapplication tag.
You can specify the following values for the client storage method:
Registry (default). Client variables are stored under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Macromedia\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Clients.
Name of a data source configured in ColdFusion Administrator
Cookie
Generally, it is most efficient to store client variables in a database. Although the Registry option is the default, the Registry has significant limitations for client data storage. The Registry cannot be used in clustered systems and its use for client variables on UNIX is not supported in ColdFusion.

Client variables not working in Apache and CF8

I have Apache and CF8 set up with multiple virtual hosts
locally for development(win xp pro, apache 2.2.4)
Client variables are not working. I can log into CF
administrator fine(not sure if authentication uses client variables
or not). Any site that I work on that uses client variables behaves
as if the variable is not defined after setting it then going to
another page that checks for its existence. I have verified that
client variables are set up in cf administrator.
Thanks for any help

Thanks a lot. I understood the mistake. Pls do not spend time on this.
Thanks,

Client variable database repository exception handling

We have recently had 2 incidents where client variable
database storage appears to have failed in our clustered
environment. We have 2 servers that share a sybase 12.5.2 client
variable repository (CDATA/CGLOBAL). The problem seems to be
occuring when a table that the application uses gets blocked by an
unrelated application. When this happens, client variable storage
seems to fail - the 2 servers apparently use whatever client
variables they have in memory rather than getting the values from
CDATA.
There are no exceptions thrown, the application continues to
function normally except that each server has it's own copy of the
client variables. When we kill the process that has the table
locked up, the servers start using CDATA normally again.
The page that is getting blocked by the external process does
not update any client variables, but it does read them. The
inconsistent client variable problem occurs on other pages, not the
one being blocked.
I was able to sort of recreate the problem. I found that if I
renamed CDATA, no error is reported to the user. The database
exception (table not found) is logged, but not thrown on the page.
To the user the application appears to function normally. So this
demonstrates that updates to CDATA which result in database
exceptions fail silently and are not thrown to the page.
Has anyone else experienced silent exceptions in CDATA
updates? Are there any workarounds for this behavior? Our
application relies on client variables being consistent across
servers and really need for exceptions to be thrown to the page so
that the user is aware.
Additional Info:

Windows Server 2003 SP1
database is sybase 12.5.2

This is one of the "classic" design problems in this kind of architecture. And, unfortunately, the answer is "it depends on how you think you need to handle it." And I'm sure there are plenty of "gurus" that will tell you one way or another is the only way to do it.
I'll be more honest: I'll give you a couple of personal suggestions, based on experience in this architecture. These are suggestions - you may do with them what you will. I will not say this is the best, most correct, or even remotely relevant to what you're doing.
If it's simple data validation for "typing" (e.g. String, number, Date, etc.), that is taken care of when you attempt to stuff in the information into the appropriate DTO. If it's more "sophisticated" than that (must be in a certain range, etc.), that particular checking should probably be delegated from your Controller to a helper class. That not only saves the "expense" of transmitting the information back and forth across the wire, it's "faster" to the end user so say "Ooopsie" by redirecting back to the form right then. Basically the same thing if the types are wrong.
That only leaves the "big" problems in the business layer (EJBs), where you have to deal with concurrency, database failures, etc. Generally these kinds of exceptions are thrown back to to the Controller in one of two forms:
1) a sublass of RuntimeException, which signals that some Very Bad Things have happened in your container. EJBException is one like that and you can see where it's being thrown from.
2) a subclass of Exception, also called "application exceptions." They are usually something like a "duplicate record" or a validation-like error (which you mentioned) like a missing field. They're used as a signal to a failure in the logic, not the container. That way you have to decide at what layer of your architecture they should be handled and/or passed on to the next.

Setting expiration of client variables

We are in need to expire client variables at the same rate as
session variables. In our case this is 2 hours.
Unfortunately, our client variables expire randomly well
before 2 hours are passed.
What should be the correct setting to achieve this?
Our configuration:
- Client variables are stored in their own separate database.
- The checkbox 'Purge data for clients that remain unvisited
for 0 days' is checked and days is set to 0.
- The checkbox 'Disable global client variable updates' is
not checked.
- The 'Purge Interval' is set to 2 hours and 0 minutes.
Thank you,

Hi,
I noticed you managed to "persuade" the proxy WS client in setting timeout.
Can this be done using JCX control too?

Client variables stored in registry getting errors

I'm moving from CF9 to CF10. On the new server I've moved things over, and run the suggested lock-down proceedures. On the CF9 box, I'm using the registry to store client variables.
On the new server I've set it up to use the registry to store client variables. In the coldfusion-out file, I'm getting errors like:
Jan 15, 2013 15:39:03 PM Information [ajp-bio-8012-exec-4] - Unable to set value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Clients\4210-c8158ffa199 3bc18-7CF31106-90B1-1C19-1B0C24F3BDD33D8C\hitcount: Windows error number 0 occurred.The handle is invalid.

On the new server, CF logs in with its own user whereas on the old system, CF logged in as admin. I'm guessing this might be the issue.
Anyone having similar issues or can suggest a solution? I did a search but most people were either turing off client variables or the answer was from 2006.
Thanks.

All that said (and I do agree with Adam and Carl that you should eschew the registry for client vars), the answer to your question is that yes, it had to do with your having changed the user that the CF service runs as. You need to grant permissions on that path in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Clients\) for that user. Find it using regedit, and right-click on that path, and choose “permissions”.
Hopefully that’s enough to get you going. But again, do give serious thought to switching to cookie or a datasource to hold them.
(Sadly, while many people will tell you to do that, they don’t give any guidance on how to get any and all legit client var data out of the registry and into a new storage mechanism. That’s because it’s not easy, and it’s way too big to discuss here in this forum post.)

Purging Client Variables - App Locks up

We have 5 CF7mx servers running - load balanced. We're using
SQL Server 2005 for our DB. We're using the DB for clientstorage.
One of the 5 CF boxes has this turned on --> Purge data for
clients that remain unvisited for 9 days. What we experience is
that every so often, all of our servers either get stuck on a
SELECT MAX @@Precision call, or a CDATA delete. When this occurs,
all we can do is end task jrun to bring them back to life. Any
suggestions? This problem followed us to our new data center, new
hardware, new infrastructure all around. A former coworker had seen
this at a previous job, and had noticed that the "purge every x
days" control seemed to be active on every server, even though it
was specified, "checked" only on one. We're seeing this as well. He
also recommended we set the "x days" to a longer period like 2
weeks, and do the cleanup on the DB side with a sql job for a
shorter timeframe. Thoughts?

I had no problems with MySQL 5.1 on CF8.0.1. However, I found
there were quite a few corners to turn when changing the datasource
for the client store. I followed the following steps:
1) Create a new database (called
client_data)using the following SQL script:
CREATE DATABASE client_data;
USE client_data;
/*Table structure for table cdata */
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS cdata;
CREATE TABLE cdata (
cfid char(64) NOT NULL,
app char(64) NOT NULL,
data text,
UNIQUE KEY id1 (cfid,app)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
/*Table structure for table cglobal */
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS cglobal;
CREATE TABLE cglobal (
cfid char(64) NOT NULL,
data text,
lvisit datetime NOT NULL,
KEY id2 (cfid),
KEY id3 (lvisit)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
2) Configure a datasource called
client_data in the datasources page in the Coldfusion
Adimistrator. Use the following settings:
Data Source Name:client_data
Driver:MySQL (4/5)
Database:client_data
Server:127.0.0.1
Port:3306
Username:root
Password:BKBK1432
3) In the Client Variables page in the Administrator, delete
any previous datasources used for client storage.
4) Restart Coldfusion.
5) In the Client Variables page in the Administrator, add
client_data as the store for client variables. Make sure its
radio-button is selected.
6) If necessary, change the value of the
clientStorage attribute in Application.cfm or the
this.clientStorage in Application.cfc to "client_data".

Object variable not set (Error 91) in Input Enabled query

Hello,
I'm having the following issue. I have created an input enabled query and included it in a planning workbook. Every time I open the workbook or query, and I got to an input enabled cell, I get the error below:
Object variable not set (Error 91)
This client has not used planning workbooks before. The system is on 7.10 SP10 for Bex Analyzer and SAP Gui 7.10 Patch Level 13.
I'm not finding any relevant so far in SDN. Any help anyone can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello,
Just wanted to let you all know that this issue has been resolved after updating my SAP Gui to 7.2 Patch Level 4 (Patch Level 5 was causing some other issues so I decided to stay at Level 4).

Error: object variable or with block variable not set when creating journal

Hello
When I try to create a new journal, I get an error "object variable or with block variable not set"
This is happening with some computers but not all of them, the same user can create a journal in some computers.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling BPC office client but that did not work.
Do you have any other ideas ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
You have to check first if you are able to access the reporting service frm that speific client machine typing:
http://<reporting server name>/reports. If all is woking well , you have to check also the number of default sheets for an empty excel sheet (should be 3) - I ma not sure what version are you using.
If still not work, please let me know when exactly the error appear, when you try to open the template (clicking on journal option) or after when you fill the report, save it, so on.
Best regards,
Mihaela

Object variable or With Block variable not set

Hi - We have saved a working input schedule to a new name and modified it to use for another company. There is a report tab to bring down the historical units from BPC, a tab to trend the history, and a tab that references the other two tabs to forecast the units into the future and send the forecasted units back up to BPC. The input schedule that was saved to a new name and modified works fine until we attempt to Send and Refresh the active worksheet on the forecast tab. When we do so, it indicates the number of records that will be sent, but when it attempts to Process the upload to BPC we receive an error message that indicates Object variable or With Block variable not set and no records are sent to BPC.
We have retested the original input template that was copied and the original template still transfers data successfully to BPC. We have also tried starting with a blank input template and copying in the formulas from the working template and we still get the same error message.
We have read several postings on this error and it seems to be a pretty general error, and so far none of the suggestions have worked for us. One suggested checking for special characters, but the only non alpha non-numeric characters used are dashes in the values of one of the dimensions and spaces and underlines in the formulas used to forecast the units, but both of these are present and don't seem to cause any problem in the working input schedule.
We are currently on BPC 7.5 SP6 and using Excel 2010.
Any help would be appreciated.

>Note 1494285 seems to be in reference to BPC for Microsoft and we are using NetWeaver.
Sorry, 1513080 is for NW (there's link to it in bottom of 1494285) :
- Currently only BPC 7.5 NW SP05 and above support Office 2010
- Note: BPC NW 7.5 NW cannot work on office 2010 (64-bits), office 2010 (64-bits) is not supported.
Check your proxy settings (note 1592560: Getting "Error 91 Object variable or with block variable after upgrade to SP06" in the Excel Client.)
Try 1576893: After upgrading to SP06, the EVDRE reports stop working.
PS. Maybe I wrong, but some problems with 2010 Office clients in our system dissapear after patching to SP08.

Code 91 - Caused Error: (Object variable or With block variable not set)

Hi,
We are using FDM 9.3.1. We have enabled batch processing.
We are having following process being followed

We then re submitted data for Jun period and saw batch process got successfully completed and June data got imported successfully and also rest other processes got through.
Can any one provide exact cause for this error? As we have automated the data load from DWH to FDM And then to HFM. Hence when such error comes it disturbs lot of processing there on. Appreciate your early response.
Thanks in advance.

Hi SAP collegues,
At my site, BPC Excel created this problem too "Object Variable or With Block Variable not set" .
It turned out that this is symptom of a a dys-functioning BPC COM Plug-in in XL2007 or XL2010!
This is a consequence that your Excel recently crashed while using BPC. And it relates to an Excel Add-in becoming disabled when the applications crashes. Please check the following.
Note before doing the following, close all other open Excel and BPC sessions.
Within Excel go to File à Options
Select the Add-Ins option on the left
Select the <<COM Add-ins >> option in the Manage drop down, and click Go
Make sure that the Planning and Consolidation option is selected. If not, mark this box and click OK.
If you do not see anything listed, return to the Add-in screen and select the Disabled Items option, and see if Planning and Consolidation is listed there.
Let me know if you have any queries,
Kind Regards,
robert ten bosch

Batch Processing error: Object variable or With block variable not set - 91

We are experiencing the following error when trying to execute the FDM Batch Processing of files in our UAT environment. This error is not occuring in our DEV environment. I have seen this error before when the data file had been left open and FDM could not access the file, so it appears this error is usually due to file permissions. However, this time none of the files are open, and as far as we can see, FDM should have full access to the OpenBatch and Inbox folders etc.
Does anyone please have any suggestions, particularly on what account FDM will carry out the various tasks? Would it use a system account?

I can confirm that there is definitely data present in our data files in this case.
Please note that this error only occurs when using the Batch Processing functionality of FDM Workbench (which requires files to be placed in the OpenBatch subfolder of the Inbox). I can load individual files fine when using the FDM Web Client.
As part of the first step of the batch load process, FDM Workbench moves files from the OpenBatch folder to a new folder which it creates in the Inbox\Batches directory. However, it is not even managing to do this, and gives the error below.
We have tried to share the OpenBatch folder, to allow specific users access to drop files into this folder. Consequently, I believe suggests a security problem on the OpenBatch folder itself (please see original post). I have been told privileges should be sufficient for FDM to make use of this folder too, however I suspect this is not the case at present.
In the meantime, please let me know if this could be due to other causes.

Getting error "Object variable or with block variable not set" when trying to open a FR report in studio

Problem Description
We are on FR 11.1.2.2.305 installed on AIX. a user is getting this error: "Object variable or with block variable not set" when trying to open a FR report from FR studio client installed on windows xp . Initialy, we thought it may be a FR client installion issue. We uninstalled and cleaned up registry and did a fresh installation of the client but the issue still persists. The FR server and the client are on the same version.
The user is a LDAP user who is facing the issue. We have confirmed with other users and they dont have any issue accessing FR report from their own client but when they try to connect from the users machine who is having issues, the others users also see the above error. All the users are ldap users and all belong to same shared services groups so the provisiong is the same.
Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks

Object Variable or With block Variable not set-not fr Excel, from BPC Admin

Hello everyone,
Object Variable or With block Variable not set-not from Excel but from BPC Admin.
I searched the form and all posting/solutions talk about this error appearing from Excel. In my case it happens for BPC Admin - when I try to maintain dimension members. I tried uninstalling and re-installing BPC client few times, processed all dimensions and tried pretty much all solutions posted here. Nothing worked (in BPC Admin). If anybody who came across this issue and solved it,
can you please post the solution?
Thanks
Pals

Hello Everyone,
Thanks for all your possible solutions. Here is the solution in case if you come across,
"Object Variable or With block Variable not set" error from BPC Admin (not from Excel).
Did some analysis with Basis administrator and found that there was an installation of MS Office 2010 component (not the full version. not sure how it got there since I do not have MS Office 2010) along with MS Office 2007. So,
I un-installed MS Office 2010 component, MS Office 2007 and Planning and Consolidation client.
Re-booted the laptop.
Installed MS Office 2007 first. Re-booted.
Installed Planning and Consolidation client. Re-booted.
Started Planning and Consolidation Admin client. Clicked on Maintain Dimension members for a dimension. Dimension members displayed without any errors.
Tried update, insert and delete of dimension members, worked fine.
Thanks again All.
