Dual Landscape. Overwriting 3.5 queries with 7.0 version

We have a dual landscape. The production path uses the 3.5 version of BEX analyzer and hence any queries that need to be moved to production have to be developed in 3.5. On the alternate path, we manually dual sync them in 7.0 version. What happens when the 7.0 queries eventually come into production.  Will they overwrite the existing 3.5 queries successfully. Anybody who has experience with this, please post your reply

Thanks for your reply. Let me explain the process in steps to make it more clear
Step 1 - A new query Zxxx was developed in the Dev_server_1 as a 3.5 Query and transported to Production server
Step 2 - A similar query with the same technical name Zxxx was developed in the  Dev_server_2 (dual sync path) in version 7.0
Step 3 - Zxxx to be moved from Dev_server_2 to Production server
Will step 3 above work without problems? Is this the right way to do it? Are there better ways to handle this issue?
Thanks in advance for any reply posts

  • BI dual landscape for upgrades

    We recently built a dual / parallel landscape for our BI system to support a support stack upgrade.   I've used the dual landscape concept for many years when doing ERP upgrades, and it has worked very well.   We thought a dual landscape for BI would work also.   However, we did not consider the automatically generated objects in BI.
    What we found is that with 2 development systems, even though BI objects are created with the same logical name, the technical (generated) name will be different between the 2 systems.
    Has anyone successfully implemented a dual-landscape for BI?   If so, how did you syncronize the technical names of objects between development systems without transporting the objects from one development system to the other?   Note: I'm of the opinion that you need to be extremely careful transporting objects between systems with different release/support pack levels and therefore avoid it at all costs . . .  Note 1090842 + several bad experiences.   Therefore, I am very unlikely to consider transporting the objects created in PSD to RLD as a valid solution.
    The following is just an attempt to better describe the issue:
    Production support landscape looks like this:
    PSD  ->  BWP   (these systems have lower release/SP levels than the systems in the release landscape)
    Release landscape looks like this:
    RLD  ->  RLQ    -
    >  Changes will eventually go to BWP after release/SP upgrade in BWP
    Lets say queryA must be developed and transported to BWP prior to the release/SP upgrade in BWP.
    In PSD queryA is created and gets assigned technical name 123456 and is transported to BWP.
    In RLD queryA also gets created, but gets assigned technical name ABCDEF.
    Sometime after the release/SP upgrade, when you are back to a single landscape (RLD -> RLQ -> BWP), a change needs to be made to queryA.   When you transport queryA to BWP, you end up with 2 queryA's, one with technical name 123456 and one with technical name ABCDEF.

    Hey.  I worked for years in a dual landscape environment and at one point, some folks were actually looking at three paths all pointing to production.  The three path idea got squashed fairly quickly, but we had two landscapes for as long as I can remember.  So we essentially had:
    PAD --> PAQ --> Prod
    PBD --> PBQ --> Prod
    This was very helpful to be able to work on major releases and upgrades while still allowing weekly maintenance releases.  I never looked for a document that deeply discussed the concept and pitfalls to watch out for. 
    I will say the system synch-up could often become quite a pain.  This may sound a little crazy but we would transport from landscape A to landscape B but dual code from B to A.  This was because A was for the triannual major releases and upgrades and B was maintenance work.  There were times when we would transport both ways, but we tried to stay away from that (except for queries). 
    The idea was that anything that went to prod as maintnenance, out of B, should be dual coded in parellel in A.  Then once a tri-annual type release went from A, all those new transports and dual coding would be moved to B.  This is how we kept everything in synhc and it worked rather well.  You always had to be careful around the time of the tri-annual go live, but that's to be expected. 
    The only objects we had constant problems with werre queries.  I don't know of anything you can do about that.  We eventually decided to always transport queries between the two landscapes.  We would never manually dual code a query.  We would eventually get the duplicate query issue in production.  The pitfall here is if the same query is getting touched for maintenance and a major release... that was just something we had to workaround.  But we never had any major problems with transporting between the two landscapes.  The times it became a huge headache is when people would forget to dual code, or just plain to a bunch of prototyping in one of these environments when they should have been using a sandbox.
    Not sure if I have answered your question, but hope this helps in some way.  At least you know plenty of us feel your pain!

  • Slow response  on data dictionary queries with optimizer_mode=rule in  10g

    I have two dataabse: DB1 (9i) and DB2 (10g) on windows 2000
    They are two development databases with the same schemas and same tables. The application executes the same commands but with different results and execution plans.
    In DB2 the queries with the most slow response tima are the queries on the data dictionary (for example: all_synonyms).
    These query are very fast with the optimizer_mode=cost and very slow with the optimizer_mode=rule.
    And the the problem is this:
    in DB1 and DB2 the application executes after the connection this command:
    ALTER SESSION SET OPTIMIZER_MODE = 'RULE';
    These are the traces of the session in db1 and db2:
    The queries are created dynamically by the application.
    Is there a solution for this?
    thanks

    Here is a simple example of what can happen,

    @>SELECT PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY());
    PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
    | Id  | Operation        | Name | Rows  | Cost (%CPU)|

  • Quering with sysdate function

    hi all ,
    there is a strange thing right here ,
    i set the where clause for my database block to , ( test_date = sysdate )
    then , query caused no records to be retrieved , and i am sure that the table has records with sysdate date .
    why does this happen ?
    even if i queried the table in the isqlplus ,
    select test_date from patients ; -- then queries with sysdate date are retrieved , but if i write
    select test_date from patients where test_date = sysdate . -- there is nothing to be retrieved .?
    help ?
    even i created a new table tt with one column(cc) , and inserted the value sysdate in it ,
    when i select sysdate from dual then it works 27-NOV-12 but
    when i select dd from cc where dd = sysdate then no rows selected
    Edited by: semsem on Nov 27, 2012 11:33 AM

    sysdate contains both date and current time elements, down to seconds. You will never find a match on sysdate, unless you hit the query at exactly the right time that matches some record in your table.
    Set your where clause to:
    ( trunc (test_date) = trunc (sysdate) )
    The "trunc" truncates (removes) the time element from your date values before doing the conditional test.
    when i select sysdate from dual then it works 27-NOV-12Do this in SQL Plus:
    alter session set nls_date_format='mm-dd-yyyy hh24:mi:ss';That will enable you to see the true date and time contained in your date datatypes. Here is an example:
    SQL> select sysdate from dual;
    SYSDATE
    27-NOV-12
    SQL> alter session set nls_date_format='mm-dd-yyyy hh24:mi:ss';
    Session altered.
    SQL> select sysdate from dual;
    SYSDATE
    11-27-2012 11:47:37Note in Forms, you can use two datatypes: DATE and DATETIME The both will query a date from the database, but the DATE datatype will remove the time element in the form, so a data change occurs. If you want to see the full date and time from the database column, use DATETIME, and set the Format Mask to something that will display everything.

  • I have 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II.  How do I connect?  4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI.  5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute?

    I just bought a 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II.  How do I connect?  4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI.  5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute any work at all?  I read where on a PC they would work together, but on a MAC they do not.
    I read that Display Port has higher band width than DVI, NEC monitors for best performance they recommend using DIsplay Port.
    When I was setting this up I looked at a Nvidia Quadro 4000, unfortunately it was for PC, it had 2 Display Ports, in the Mac version they reduce it to one.  I did not think there could be a difference.
    Mainly want to use it for CS6 and LR4.
    How to proceed??? 
    I do not want to use the Quadro 4000 for both, that would not optimize both monitors, one DP and 1 DVI.  Using just the 5770 would work but I do not think the 4000 would be doing anything, and the 5770 has been replaced by the 5870.more bandwidth.
    Any ideas, I am a Mac newbie, have not ever tried a Mac Pro, just bought off ebay and now I have these problems.
    As a last resort I could sell both and get a 5870.  That would work, I'm sure of that, it's just that I wanted the better graphics card.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    The Hatter,
    I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can.  From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance.  The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs.  Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
    You said I have the 4000 for CUDA.  I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it. 
    A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000.  Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected?  I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
    Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
    So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
    I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are.  I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4.  Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

  • How to querie with bind variable in findMode?

    Hallo,
    is it possible to use a querie with bind variable in findMode? And when how is it possible to initialize the bind variable?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    bind variables can be linked from teh ADF binding to e.g. a managed bean, the sessionScope or other binding attributes via EL. So when you go into findMode and execute the query, the EL will grab the bindVariable values automatically.

  • Multiple queries with 1 connection

    Can I execute multiple queries with one connection?
    //Example -

    Create multiple statement objects from your connection. It's a good idea to close these in a finally block after you're done with them
    Connection conn = null;
    Statement stmt1 = null;
    Statement stmt2 = null;
    try {
        conn = DriverManager.getConnection();
        stmt1 = conn.createStatement();
        // some sql here
        stmt2 = conn.createStatement();
        // some more sql here
    } finally {
        if ( stmt1 != null ) stmt1.close();
        if ( stmt2 != null ) stmt2.close();

  • I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. Is it Lion?

    I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. As you can imagine this is very annoying. It says I am not connected to the internet and offers me a choice of nearby networks including mine and then asks for a password when I select it. Why does it do this with our new MacBooks (also with my son's brand new one) and not with the iPhone, iPad and older MacBook? They happily automatically connect to our network after entering the password just the once.

    Sig, I appreciate you trying to be helpful. I have no idea what issues you were having or what issue exactly pgrounds has been having. Your assumption that everyone's set up is the same as yours is false however. There are many many documented WiFi issues that are a result of Lion installs. Many have been solved by 10.7.1 and 10.7.2. Others have been solved by a large variety of work arounds. Others have not had their issues solved yet.
    I am one of those. I have an IT background, and I spent the better of five hours digging up workarounds and attempting all of them. For the benefit oh anyone who is having similar issues, I have posted links to all of those workarounds here. None of them worked in my case, but hopefully they will help pgrounds or others.
    So, once again, if you have a new idea, I'd love to here it. But if it has already been posted in one of these links, it's not helpful, let it go.

  • Is there a way to overwrite the ORIGINAL songs with my iTunes library info?

    Hi there,
    I would like to know if there is a way to overwrite the original songs with my iTunes library info? What I mean is, I have MANY songs that I have transferred to iTunes (and were obviously not purchased from iTunes) and I always put the info (such as the album name, the album art, artist, composer, etc.) and it leaves the original song (like the songs that are in "My music" section that is in "My Documents") with the same info. For example : The song that I put into the library will be "chamiionaire feastureing flip"... and in the iTunes, I put it as "Chamillionaire ft. Lil Flip". How do I make it so that it replaces the "original" info (located in my documents) with the info I put in?

    Same question. Used to have an iPod. Lost it (best digital player ever), now I use other portable device. The mp3 files have their id3tag edited in the original file, but the .m4a don't!.
    Want to know someway to write the info from the library to the original .m4a files.

  • Create a VC Model for BEx queries with Cell Editor

    Hello All,
    I am trying to create a VC Model for BEx queries with Cell Editor.
    BW Development Team has created a BEX query with complex restrictions and calculations using Cell Editor feature of BI-BEX.
    The query output in BEx analyzer is correct where all values are being calculated at each Cell level and being displayed.
    But, while creating VC model, system is not displaying the Cells.Thus, no VC Model can be created.
    I have executed below steps:
    1. Created a VC Model for BEx Query - ZQRY_XYZ
    2. Create Iview -> Create a dataService -> Provide a Table from the Output
    In the Column field system is not showing any of the Cells (present in Cell Editor)
    Please help me to solve this issue.
    Thanks,
    Siva

    Hi
    If 'Cell Editor' is been used then that query must have the structure in it. You have to select that 'structure' object in your 'VC Table'.
    If you select that then you will get the required result in the output. This structure will be the structure where 'cell reference' is used in BI query, You have to select that structures name.

    I currently run Mac Pro with three hard drives. Can I dual boot or even triple boot with Snow Leopard on one drive and Mountain Lion or Lion on others?
    I need to keep Snow Leopard so that I can run some old softward.

    If you are careful you can put at least two on one drive, having Recovery from Lion and Mountain Lion on their own drives though.
    CCC can clone Lion Recovery - great for moving or backup.

  • Reconcile Inventory BI Content Queries with ECC

    Hi Folks,
    I have a question regarding reconciling Inventory Management BI Content reports based on cube 0IC_C03 with ECC.
    We implemented IM in BI, and now try to reconcile the queries with ECC. Specifically, I have one query, 0IC_C03_Q0008 - Stock in Transit.
    We ran the report by Plant, in BI, it only showed one material with #, but people from ECC side use T-Code MB5T in ECC and saw many materials with Stock in Transit for that Plant; and for the material showed on BI report, the # doesn't match between BI and ECC.
    What is the right way to reconcile the report with ECC? is there any other report/Tcode in ECC we can use?
    Any insight ideas would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Freda

    Hi Freda,
    For me, it is the typical nightmare to try to reconcile the cube to your ECC transactions since the cube summarizes and doesn't include your material documents.
    So, to make it a bit easier to match MB5T or MB51, add an ODS with a material document and Material item key and all of the fields and key figures necessary for reconciliation (I usually look at the datasource's delivered fields and add whatever sounds reasonable to look at).  To fill records in this ODS, only fill them from 2LIS_03_BF, because BX and UM do not contain material documents.
    While I was writting this, I think I realize what is happening in your situation.  If memory serves me correctly, MB5T is Cross-Company SIT, which is not part of the 2LIS_03* datasources.  They only account for Intra-Company (Plant-to-Plant within the same company code) SIT.  For that, there is a White Paper you can have an ABAP'er implement for you.
    Here are two good documents you should read and be familiar with:
    How to .... Report on Cross Company Stock in Transit: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/92c0aa90-0201-0010-17b1-bf5b11c71257

    Also, when comparing my cube data to ECC/R/3, I use transaction MMBE in the ECC to identify stock quantities and stock in transit (SIT).

  • Report Designer - Summary page based on 3 queries with dynamic hierarchy?

    Dear All,
    I am trying to build a workbook based on 3 queries with a summary page that pulls in the query data into one page.
    Each query is based on one key figure that is split by profit centre hierarchy.
    i.e.
    Turnover
    -Profit Centre Node A
    -Profit Centre Node B
    -Profit Centre Node C
    > Profit Centre C1
    > Profit Centre C2
    The user can dril-down into each query at whatever level of the PC Hierarchy they wish.
    My issue is trying to structure a dynamic summary page that pulls in all rows from the individual queries regardless of the number of profit centre hierarchies contained in each. i.e. The summary could have 5 PCs for queries 1,2 & 3 in one execution, but then 10 for all queries in another execution.
    Question:
    Can report designer be used to make a dynamic summary sheet that will capture all rows from the individual query? or would an excel macro summary be the only way of doing this?

    Hi Ingo,
    After much testing and looking into trace etc. we have got this thing to behave as desired. Basically, following two things,
    - no reference to CR Dynamic Hierarchy variable on report. There were places where this parameter was being refered and causing grief. We tested with brand new report.
    - making sure that on query Cost center restriction is placed in Characteristic Restriction area of Filter tab of query, as oppose to default value area filter tab.
    With above in place, the published report in infoview behave as desired, i.e. proper hierarchy structure in cost center prompt and group tree and only desired nodes showing on report.
    Thank you for all you pointers

  • Queries with parameters - how do they get migrated?

    We are evaluating this migration to move a client off of access and put them into oracle. We use APEX for other things and like it. So, we tried with 3 tables, one query and one report. The tables moved fine, but the query failed. The log showed:
    Failed to Convert View <name> unexpected end of subtree: Line 0 Column 0.
    I began removing things to determine what was causing it. I finally got it to run when I got rid of the functions like iif, int and val. I think these are causing the issue. But, I still couldn't create the view because of the parameter in the query. Access prompts the user for this value before the query is run, but how would this translate to an Oracle view? And how would the report prompt the user for this value in Apex? Does this convert over automatically?
    If I have to rewrite the queries myself, I will. If I do, will that affect importing reports like this into Apex? Any suggestions?
    Thanks, Chris

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for the updates.
    Currently the Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench translator does not support the parsing of the IIF function. I believe there is a bug already logged against this & a fix will be available in a future release of the Workbench.
    You may find it useful to refer to the following threads discussing alternative handling of queries using the IIF function -
    Access Queries with "IIF" function
    msaccess parser error
    As mentioned in the above postings, one option for you is to use a CASE statement, similar to the following:
    SELECT SUM(case when Table1.Week Between 1 And Ending_Week then Table1.Sales else 0 end) TY_Sales_YTD
    FROM Table1 ;
    If you wished to use such a query to display the resulting value on an Oracle APEX page, this could be implemented as follows:
    Note: Assuming that you have migrated the database schema to Oracle & have associated your APEX workspace with that schema.
    1. Create a new blank page in your APEX application. Add a new HTML region to your page.
    2. Create a "Select List with Submit" item and in its "List of Values Query" field enter syntax similar to the following:
    select week d, week r
    from table1
    order by 1
    and set the item name to P1_END_WK. Place the item on your HTML region. This item will act as the parameter in your query.
    3. Create a "Display as Text" item and set its Source region to be of type "SQL Query". Paste the following syntax into the items' source value field:
    SELECT SUM(case when Table1.Week Between 1 And :P1_END_WK then Table1.Sales else 0 end) TY_Sales_YTD
    FROM Table1
    and set the item name to P1_SUM. Place the item on your HTML region. This query will return the result based upon the user's selection of value in the P1_END_WK select list item.
    4. Add a branch to the page, setting it to branch to itself. Basically when the user selects a value from the P1_END_WK select list, this will submit the page. The branch will redirect the page to itself & in turn update the value held in P1_SUM.
    Would this type of implementation work for your application? It's obviously just one option to consider. I hope this helps. If you have any further issues/questions regarding any of the above information or regarding other queries in your MS Access MDB file, please let me know. If you'd like me to take a look at your MDB file, please post your email address so I can contact you directly.
