Data Prep Editor Error

I'm using Essbase 9.3.1. My problem is when I open a load rule, and try to "Open Data File" nothing happens, it's very strange. What makes this error even stranger is it works fine for some Load rules (I get the open file dialog box), but not others. It works fine when you create a new one, but then after you save the file and reopen the rule, it most likely won't work again. I've tried copying the rule, renaming the rule, moving it to a different application, all with no luck...
Any help is appreciated, this is getting frustrating very fast.

Cameron-
1) yes I've tried it on 2 different clients
2) yes I've tried it on the server
3) I haven't tried that, but don't normally use MaxL for anything
4) I took a 'broken' rule, saved it locally, closed and reopened and it still didn't work
5) I normally do files on the server, but I can't even get to that point because when I get the 'Open Data File' nothing happens, no dialog box pops up, so I don't get the chance to select the location
6) This is a production server and EAS is running as a service, so I'd have to test this one afterhours.
Because it happens on 3 separate PC's I'd eliminate bad EAS, since only some rules do it and others don't I'd think it could be corrupt rules, but it'll happen to new rules just as fast, and they still work just fine, so if that's the case I need to figure out what is corrupting them...
Network issues wouldn't surprise me, I get TCP/IP errors regularly saying I have to increase my net retry count, but I've tweaked with those settings tons... looks like those are really the database server is running out of memory even though I have 4GB physical 16MB Virtual memory (32 bit environment though... I do have the /3GB switch turned on)... I've had to scale my caches way back to allow certain databases to even function.
Thanks for your help.

Substitution variable is not visible at Data Prep editor-creating rule file

Hi,
We are working on Essbase 9.3.1, Oracle as a database source for loading the data into Essbase.
We have create a substitution variable at "server level" to use it in rule file as a DSN for data source. But this substitution variable is not visible in the drop down of substitution variable in 'Data prep editor' while creating the rule file.
We restarted the Essbase server also but still it is not visible in 'data prep editor'.
Any help will appreciated on this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Mohit Jain

Cannot Open SQL from Data Prep Editor (SQL Interface)

Hi,
When I Open SQL in Data Prep Editor: "There are no data sources defined. Please create one to continue."
I create a ODBC connections using the drivers bellow and I obtain always the same message ("There are no data sources defined.."):
Oracle in OraDb10g_home2
Microsoft ODBC for Oracle
MERANT OEM 5.2 32-BIT Oracle
I have installed and configured Essbase, release 11.1.1.2
Is posible that the SQL interface is not installed and configured with the Essbase Server?
How I can install and configure the SQL Interface? I need to do somethink else?
Thanks!
Assia

Through EAS select the server and right click and select properties. then go to the environment tab(I think) it should show everything you are licensed for. If this is a System 9 or higher, you should have it automatically. If it is 7X or below,then yoes it has to be licensed

Admin Services - Data Prep Editor: Save, Open, Open Data File - Hangs

The problem is that whever I try to Open, Open Data File or Save while in Data Prep Editor, the Admin Console Hangs. It shows as Responding in the task manager, but the screen turns grey (hangs) and the admincon.exe process is constant at about 50% CPU.
I don't know what is going on? Is there possibly some corrupt disk area on my PC? I checked everyone on forums, tried to find the answer, but no info is availabe? I re-installed to JRE 1.5, I checked the java environmental variables. I did so much, but nothing has worked.
At first I thought it might have been some 9.3.1 bug, so I unistalled 9.3.1 and installed EPM System 11; still same problem!!
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have a similar problem, when I try to open a data file, nothing happens.... app doesn't lock, just the file open dialog box never opens... I'm using 9.3.1, and the same problems happens, on EAS installed locally, Web client, and running EAS from the app server itself. The load rule works fine, I just can't see a data file in the prep editor. Any thoughts help are appreciated.

Extending the columns in Data Prep Editor

Hi Gurus,
Is there any way to create more than 20 columns in Data Prep Editor.
Any help on this appreciable.
Thanks..

Hi,
just to be complete, I would like to add that a popular obstacle on creating a rules file with many columns is that if the last column does contain only NULL values (at least for the first N rows), it often doesn't show up in the data prep editor. This is a situation also described in other threads around here.
To solve this, just ensure that the LAST column in your data source doesn't contain any NULL values. Change the selection of the columns in your Rules Files in a order which ensures that columns with NULL values do not appear at the last column.
Hope this helps.

EPM11.1.1.1 Data Prep Editor Can't Display non-Unicode text

I open data file, Chinese can not be displayed , but I can mannuly input Chinese.
Display unicode text is OK, cannot load, so I change cube to unicode mode, Load data is OK. but DIM(informatica) cannot see the unicode application.

Hi Bruce,
for GeoRaster themes you can define a specific pyramid level to render, or you can leave the pyramid level null on the theme definition, and in this case MapViewer calculates the best level to render. The second option is recommended as it avoids loading unnecessary data given the current display parameters. If you are seeing your image get blocked, most likely at this zoom level and up you have reached the highest pyramid level of the GeoRaster. Even in MapBuilder if you keep zoom in, you get a blocked image after reaching the highest resolution level.

Data Provider Internal error(-3000): please help!

Hi,
I've a Web Application using Oracle Data Provider 9.2.0.2 to communicate with mu oracle DB.
I'm using the ExecuteNonQuery function to run a SQL statement (it's a select connect by), but after some time, I get the following error:
Data Provider Internal error(-3000)
It seems to happen if the query takes a lot of time.
If I reduce the number of returned rows, I don't get the error anymore.
After some searches through the internet I found that the problem should fixed in the next ODP release, 9.2.0.4: I installed it too, but with no success.
I played with the connection timeout and some other parameters without solving the error.
Someone can help me?
Thanks.
Daniele.

I met the same question too.
I list your problem below:
my ODP.net is 9.2.0.4.
code snippet is below:
string constring = "user id=gz;data source=ipas_local;password=gz";
                    OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection(constring);
                    OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(sql,conn);
                    try
                         conn.Open();
                         cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

Blue screen - Data Inpage Kernel Error on Satellite Pro L

I have had my laptop 6 months now.
Now a blue screen comes and says - Data Inpage Kernel Error.
I reset back to factory settings but it is still happening.Is the hard drive knackered?
If so is it covered by the warranty?
If not which hard drive do i need and where can i get it from.
Many Thanks for your help.

Hi mono33,
> I reset back to factory settings but it is still happening.
This would mean its no software malfunction and its serious hardware issue. If your notebook is under warranty, the repair is covered by warranty and ASP will repair the unit for free.
So at first I would check if the notebook is under warranty. If yes give it to an ASP and the gus can repair the notebook. Otherwise you can also ask an ASP for help but its not for free.
Theoretically it could be HDD related but it could be another hardware part as well.

How do I prevent windows from shutting down ITUNES with a Data Protection Execution error when trying to sync with my Iphone 4S in a 32 bit windows environment?

I first was not able to install ITunes 10.5. Apple upgrade installer caused a data protection execution error and windows reverted the process back to the original software. I then removed ITunes through the control panel ap. I removed Bonjour and quicktime. I could not use the windows uninstaller to remove the apple upgrade installer and had to find a fix it program on the microsoft web site to fully remove this program. After doing this, I was able to load and install itunes 10.5. However, now when I try to sync my new 4S phone, the sync only goes to the 2nd or 3rd step before eliciting a DPE error and causing itunes to shut down. I tried making a new user profile. Opened I tunes in the new profile and began to search for music on my computer. The program again elicited a DPE error. I looked to see if quicken was still on the computer and maybe causing a hangup, but it is no longer installed. Ok, I am at wits end and have spent much too much time on this issue. Please help.

I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923 RESTART UR COMPUTER..
c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.
d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !

Photoshop Elements 7 Editor Error & 10 trial error

Photoshop Elements 7 Editor Error
Hello,
Yesterday I did a clean install of Windows 7 (x64) on my PC & have completely updated it through Windows Updater, I than installed PSE7 (disk that I brought new 3 years ago & has worked fine up till now) & followed the instructions.
Now, it loads the first screen fine (Organise/Edit/Create/Share) & Organise,Create & Share each load fine but when I click on Edit I get this error
Editor - Photoshop Elements 7.0
Could not initialise Photoshop Elements because the file could not be found.
I have already installed it on my old (now completely dead) Vista laptop, this PC & my mothers Win7 laptop & all work/ed.
The thing I have tried are -
Uninstalling & reinstalling PES7.
Uninstalling & reinstalling the OS & installing PSE7 first.
Replacing all files in 'Computer > Local Disk (C;) > Program Files (x86) > Adobe > Photoshop Elements 7.0 , with the files from my mothers laptop.
Have 'Deleted the Settings File' (Shift + Ctrl + Alt)
Running the Elements Organizer in a new user account.
& ringing customer support who told me to ask here.

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Try reseting the preferences of PSE 10
Open PSE just to the Welcome Screen and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Mac: Cmd + Opt + Shift) and keep pressing.
Click on "Edit" from the Welcome Screen but keep pressing the keyboard keys - don't let up.
You will get a little dialog box asking if you want to delete the settings file. Click "Yes." You can let go of the keyboard keys now.
This will rebuild the file for you and often solves the issue.
If it doesn't work, navigate to :
C: > Users > [user name] > Photoshop Elements > 10.0 > Editor > Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Prefs.psp
Right click on the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Prefs.psp, and select Delete.
A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements.
