Delivers for seeding cache with special topology

Hi gurus,
I have a special deployment: the Presentation Server, and JavaHost (let's say it has ipNumber54 ) is one machine, and the BI Server and the BI Scheduler are installed within other machine (let's say ipNumber56 ).
What I've said with an image, Architecture Deployment:
http://yfrog.com/9edeploymentarchitecturep
http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/1604/deploymentarchitecture.png
<img src='http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/1604/deploymentarchitecture.png' border='0'/>
(How do I put an image here in these forums?)
I have followed these really good guides for setting up Delivers:
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/09/13/oracle-bi-ee-10133-configuring-delivers-ibots/
http://debaatobiee.wordpress.com/category/obiee/bi-delivers-and-schedulers/
But I have minded my special topology in the way that I have these different points:
In the machine ip-number56 , the Presentation server,
In the E:\OracleBIData\web\config\instanceconfig.xml
<Alerts>
<ScheduleServer> ipNumber54 </ScheduleServer>
</Alerts>
<CredentialStore>
<CredentialStorage type="file" path="E:/OracleBIData/web/config/credentialstore.xml" passphrase="secret"/>
</CredentialStore>
and I am pointing to the file E:\OracleBIData\web\config\credentialstore.xml as you see above,
that it is in the same machine ip-number56 .
It was written when I execute this command:
C:\Users\erospeaks>cryptotools credstore -add -infile e:\OracleBIData\web\config\credentialstore.xml
. > Credential Alias: admin
. > Credential "admin" already exists. Do you want to overwrite it? y/n (y):
. > Username: Administrator
. > Password: ********
. > Do you want to encrypt the password? y/n (y):
. > Passphrase for encryption: ******
. > Do you want to write the passphrase to the xml? y/n (n):
. > File "e:\OracleBIData\web\config\credentialstore.xml" exists. Do you want to overwrite it? y/n (y): y
So it is taking the alias "admin", BTW I am using the Administrator user as SchedulerAdmin user.
Then, when I try to create an iBot to seed the cache:
http://debaatobiee.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/delivers-via-ibot14.png
I have this error in Delivers, when I am creating an iBot in order to scheduling a report from Answers:

I answer myself and I'll tell you that was a problem of the Windows Firewall.
The machine can be listening on a port that is cut "afterwards" by the Firewall.

Create and schedule iBot to seed cache with the saved query

Hi all,

[OBIEE11g] Agents for seeding cache

Hello,
I would like to set an agent for seeding cache for several users.
So I set a request and an agent for this.
In the agent configuration, Destinations tab, I uncheck everything and I check only "Oracle BI Server Cache (For seeding cache)".
But I get errors.
1) if I save the agent and then open it for edit, again, I can see that the "Devices" option is selected, even though I made sure it was not;
2) the agent runs with errors, because it cannot connect to the SMTP server.
([nQSError: 75027] Failed to open connection to SMTP Server)
This sounds strange to me, because:
1) I did not set it to send any email, just to seed cache only;
2) I have properly configured the SMTP server, anyway, and it should work; at least it does work outside OBIEE.
I have tried many different times and configurations, to make sure I do not make any errors when configuring the agent. But it does not work as expected.
Do you have any advice?

Anybody resolve this issue? We just upgraded to 11.1.1.6.6 and I have to have it send me emails or else it won't seed the cache. I don't like getting 84 emails a day!

Search in file for exact phrase with special symbols [windows 8.1]

When I search, for example, for 'name.txt' in file content it seems that it finds all files with 'name' and 'txt' in any order.
Windows 7 seems to have options related to this, like 'use natural language' and 'find partial matches'. But I see nothing in windows 8.
Please let me know if it's possible to search for exact phrase with special symbols.
Thanks.

When I search, for example, for 'name.txt' in file content it seems that it finds all files with 'name' and 'txt' in any order.
You need to either use the Search tools or learn the Advanced Query Syntax (AQS) that they imply. Actually you need to do both because the tools only help with the keyword prefix and not with the following syntax that is required to do the specific
search that you want to do.
So, for example, you knew that you wanted to find name.txt only in file (or directory?) names so you would use the Other Properties > Name tool to be sure that your query had that prefix Name:name.txt
In fact, that was a surprise for me just now because I thought the default syntax for Name with no other specification would be "contains" (which would be Name:~=name.txt) but apparently it defaults to Name:~<name.txt which means
"begins with" name.txt. In fact, from an efficiency point of view that is probably a logical default. But from a usability point of view it is terrible because it means that when users really want Name:name.txt to mean either
"contains" or "ends with" they won't have a clue what to do to make those differences.

IDocs for items posted with special G/L indicator

Hi all!
Is it true that the idoc types for open items (acc_billing, acc_invoice_receipt) are not able to post items with special G/L indicator.
Does this mean that i have to implement a program of my own which builds up a FIDCCP02 idoc to post open items from a legacy system for migration??
Thanks for your advice.
Axel

Hi Sukumar: This is a migration project from one R/3 4,6C to another one (5.0). Exits in this area may have influence on postings to be distributed immediately when posted in the source system to any target system. My task is, to migrate existing open items including special G/L items. There is just a transaction to create such idocs (GAL3), but i do not see, what this transaction would help. So a program of my own must be created.

BAPI for posting account with special GL indicator

Hi all,
is there any other BAPI except than BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST that can be used to post unt with special GL indicator

use program RFBIBL00, by setting the TCODE 'FB01' in the structure BBKPF, but if the transaction FB01 does not support the special G/L indicator you require, it may not be possible. I would still give it a shot.
read the documentation of the program. Additionally, it can be used in conjunction with LSMW for easy setup.

Looking for a name with special character

Hi Gurus,
In our HR system we use multiple language (eg: polish, french, german, english, finns, ...). All those languages have some specific characters, like german with ß.
When we use the search help to looking for someone, it seems that only people who have the special character on their keyboard can find directly the correct name.
For example :
If I use a german keyboard I can found an employe by completed the correct last name wich contain eg ß .
if I don t use a german keyboard I have to put a * where the specific characters is.
I would like to know if somehow it were possible to customize the system in order to do not need to enter a * but the correspondant singular letter. Is there any function for converting a special character to a singular one to activated ?
Thank you for all your help
Best regards
Hadrien

indexOf() is used to find where a character or substring appears in a
given string. What you probably need is charAt() which finds out which
character is at a given position. Like this:private JTextField reportNameText;
// something needs to be put in the text field here
String reportName = reportNameText.getText();
if(reportName.charAt(0) == ' ') {
        // printing a space isn't a lot of good...
    //System.out.println("first character is"+reportName.indexOf(0));
    System.out.println("first character is a space");
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Report Name should not start with Space", "", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
}An even better condition might beif(Character.isWhitespace(reportName.charAt(0))) {This checks for other sorts of space.
The String methods are described here:

JAXB compiler for class names with special characters

Hi,
I trying to run the xjc against an XSD where element names (class names) have an "_" in them. For eg ACCOUNT_AKG.
JAXB creates a class ACCOUNTAKG and omits the "_". I need "_" to be preserved in the class name of the class is generated.
Can someone show me the right direction , so I can create classes with "_" preserved in the class name.
This would be a big help
thanks

Test Your BlackBerry Phone for any Problems with Special Shortcut

If you own a BlackBerry mobile phone (or plan to buy one), here’s a very useful shortcut (or can we say Easter Egg) that enables you to perform a complete health checkup of your BlackBerry hardware.
You will be able to test the keys of your BlackBerry keyboard, trackball movements, audio volume, Bluetooth connection, handset, speakers, LED, LCD screen pixels, etc.
To begin the test, click "Options" icon on the home screen of your BlackBerry and then select "Status."
On the status screen, type the wor d "test" without quotes and from the menu on the Device Self Test Application screen, select Start.
If you have a BlackBerry Pearl or another model that supports SureType, use the multi-tap input method to type "test".
As you may have seen in the test report, it says "Fail" for the Keypad Backlight Test on my BlackBerry Curve.

Restrict MIGO_GI at movement with Special Stock

Hi,
We need restriction in T-code: - MIGO_GI or MB1A.
In MIGO_GI there restrict GI for cost center with Special Stock
And MB1A there also show Special Stock.
Do you any possibility to restrict movement with Special Stock.
Amit

not exactly. no.
you can restrict the posting of special stock by granting/denying authorisations for movement types but no more. binding the movement type to an obligatory field 'cost center' is not a matter of authorisations, but of configuration - check transaction OMJN/OMJX et all on the how-to. that still would leave open that everybody can choose a random cost-center deliberately, so you have to use an additional enhancement/exit there ...

Problem with Expiry Period for Multiple Caches in One Configuration File

I need to have a Cache System with multiple expiry periods, i.e. few records should exist for, lets say, 1 hour, some for 3 hours and others for 6 hours. To achieve it, I am trying to define multiple caches in the config file. Based on the data, I choose the Cache (with appropriate expiry period). Thats where, I am facing this problem. I am able to create the caches in the config file. They have different eviction policies i.e. for Cache1, it is 1 hour and for Cache2, it is 3 Hours. However, the data that is stored in Cache1 is not expired after 1 hour. It expires after the expiry period of other cache i.e.e Cache2.
Plz correct me if I am not following the correct way of achieving the required. I am attaching the config file here. Attachment: near-cache-config1.xml (*To use this attachment you will need to rename 142.bin to near-cache-config1.xml after the download is complete.)

Hi Rajneesh,
In your cache mapping section, you have two wildcard mappings ("*"). These provide an ambiguous mapping for all cache names.
Rather than doing this, you should have a cache mapping for each cache scheme that you are using -- in your case the 1-hour and 3-hour schemes.
I would suggest removing one (or both) of the "*" mappings and adding entries along the lines of:
<pre>
<cache-mapping>
<cache-name>near-1hr-*</cache-name>
<scheme-name>default-near</scheme-name>
</cache-mapping>
<cache-mapping>
<cache-name>near-3hr-*</cache-name>
<scheme-name>default-away</scheme-name>
</cache-mapping>
</pre>
With this scheme, any cache that starts with "near-1hr-" (e.g. "near-1hr-Cache1") will have 1-hour expiry. And any cache that starts with "near-3hr-" will have 3-hour expiry. Or, to map your cache schemes on a per-cache basis, in your case you may replace "near-1hr-*" and "near-3hr-*" with Cache1 and Cache2 (respectively).

Problem figuring out the encoding for filenames with special characters

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but this does seem like an OS issue.
I brought in a lot of mp3 and m3u files from a Windows machine to my new Mac. Some of the mp3 files have accented characters in their names, and these names appear in the m3u files. But if I add the m3u file to iTunes, it fails to recognize these names and so I lose all the mp3's with special characters in their names.
I tried to fix this by grabbing the files name in Python, but that didn't work either!
Here's an example: the file's name is "Voilà l'été.mp3"
The m3u files says "Voil\xe0 l'\xe9t\xe9.mp3" -- this doesn't work.
From os.listdir(), I get Voila\xcc\x80 l'e\xcc\x81te\xcc\x81.mp3", but sticking it in an m3u files doesn't work either. (Note that here the characters are encoded as unaccented letter + two byte code for the accent).
When I try these strings from python, e.g. doing os.stat(), they both work; but iTunes doesn't understand any of them!
I'd appreciate any hints on how to enter these names in the m3u file so that iTunes can read it. Thanks!

I know nothing about "m3u" files and how iTunes interprets the file names in them, but if it is not a relative/absolute path problem, then how about just putting the raw file names (not the ones with backslash escape) in m3u file? For example, just put
Voilà l'été.mp3
in m3u?
As for Unicode encoding, HFS+ file system uses the "decomposed form" for accented characters. This means, as you write, à is hex "61 cc 80" in UTF-8, i.e., "a + COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT". The pre-composed form is hex "c3 a0". But my experience is that in most cases both pre-composed and decomosed forms work at the user level (not at the lowest file system level).

Using a partitionned cache with off-heap storage for backup data

Hi,
Is it possible to define a partitionned cache (with data into the heap) with off-heap storage for backup data ?
I think it could be worthwhile to do so, as backup data are associated with a different access pattern.
If so, what are the impacts of such off-heap storage for backup data ?
Particularly, what are the impacts on performance ?
Thanks.
Regards,
Dominique
