Duplicated query due to parallel development environment

We have a rather unpleasant situation in our BW environment after our upgrade to BI 7.0 and use of a parallel BW development machine during the upgrade.
Some of the queries seems to have multiple copies with the same technical name in production and development. The queries would have the same technical name but there are diffrent COMPUID generated when I see the RSZCOMPDIR table.
The problem is that when I make changes to the query and transport it to production, the production query with the same technical name but a different COMPUID does not get over writen. So the users don't see the fix. Unfortunately, we have a very large number of users and deleting the original queryin production is not an option. They all have their bookmarks and views etc. In production, I do see a duplicated query with same tech name but a different COMPUID same as what we have in development but not included in the roles. The added problem is that when I try to open the query with the technical name in query designer in production, it opens up the modified one but when I try to execute it from the same query designer, it executes the old one that is active.
In my opinion, a back transport would fix the problem as we'll have the same GUID query back in development and then it can be fixed or modified and transported wherever. Has anyone seen such problem and is there a cleaner solution?
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
Execute the report 'ANALYZE_RSZ_TABLES' in your system where there are duplicate queries selecting the tables 'RSRREPDIR, RSZCOMPDIR and RSZELTDIR and the version 'A. This report will display all the incosistency with the reporting components in your system and hence will take sometime to fdisplay the output: 1-2 mins. In the report result, click on the 'Display' icon against 'Components with duplicated technical names.' under the heading 'Table RSZCOMPDIR'. You will now see the queries which have the same technical name but different COMPID. You then identify the query that you do not want & rename it to a different technical name by changing the entry under 'Rename query components...'.
I have used this report in 3.0B & 3.5.

Query running fine in one environment but failing in other environment

Hi,
I have a query which i am trying to execute in two different environments.
Test :- Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
Prod:- Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
Now query executes finely in one environment and fails in other environment.
It gives following error.
ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
01861. 00000 - "literal does not match format string"
The query is too long and contains CHAR-DATE and DATE-CHAR conversions.
The same query works fine on TEST environment and and fails on PROD environment.
Any help related to it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mahesh

MaheshThat's called a bug. One caused by the person who developed the code. They relied on implicit conversion between strings and dates when
production quality code will always use to_char and to_date functions with a format mask.

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.

Wiebe.

BW Upgrade and in parallel development

hi ,
I have some doubts abt in parallel development with bi upgrade.hope someone could clear my doubts on this.
Currently, I'm working on a development request that involves ODS/Cube/Infoobject change.All this are done in dev 3.5x.
Parallely, there is another bi team that's working on the upgrade activity which will upgrade this bw 3.5x to Bi7.0. Issue is that no freeze on development done during this upgrade activity. both development and upgrade is being carried out in parallel by 2 teams.
questions :
1.can anyone highlight the impact of this parallel activity
2.if i choose to stop the development work now temporarily, can i use the same transport request number which was generated in BW 3.5 dev and transport to new BI 7.0 production? or should i choose to recollect the objects again in BI 7.0 environment and continue development after the upgrade activity completed?
3.will i face any compatibility issue later if i stop the development work half way now?
4.Is there any other risk of in parallel dev and upgrade?
Hope someone could advice me on this.
Thank you.
Regards,
Maili

Infoproviders are version independent. While BW 7.x has different names for ODS (DSO) and additional features, there is no 'conversion' process per se at the infoprovider level. BW 7.x does provide new data transformation and data flow methodologies, but the BW 3.x methods are still functional in the BW 7.x environment.
However.. you will need to release and migrate your 3.x development transports before you perform the BASIS level conversion programs. You will not be able to 'keep them open'. So based on this factor alone, you will need to either
A) create and manage a dual development environment.
B) establish a development "Freeze" schedule that follows your overall development program.
When we converted from BW 3.5 to 7.0, we established a freeze.

Using Oracle Database Express Edition in development environment

Hi All,
I have doubt regarding the usage Oracle Database Express Edition in Development environment. I am not sure weather I can ask a non technical question here or not. Pleas forgive me if I have done any thing wrong.
I am working in an IT company where we take up projects outsourced by our clients. As part of our current project we are making some modification to a web application used by an institution. Our client is using Oracle Data Base standard edition. Due to budgetary constraints of our Company we can not set up a Oracle standard edition data base in our development environment.
So would it be illegal if we use Oracle Database Express Edition in our development environment? We can guarantee that only our internal development team which comprise a maximum of 10 people will have access to this development database and this development data base will never be opened to our Client for their business purpose(Who have their own Oracle standard edition in their environment). As part of the project we delver only table DDL script and stored procedure to our client and they put it in their environment.The sole purpose of a internal Express database will be development only.
Could some one please tell me if it would be violation of license agreement if we install Oracle Database Express Edition in our development environment.

Hi Paul,
Actually I have already gone through the Oracle Technology Network Developer License Terms for Oracle Database 11g Express Edition . But was not quiet clear about the content. It says in the license terms that "We grant you a nonexclusive, nontransferable limited license to use the programs for: (a) purposes of developing, prototyping and running your applications for your own internal data processing operations". Does the term "your application" includes an application we are developing for another company. Since the Express database is installed in the development environment only and is not opened to any one else not even for Our client it definitely falls under the term "internal data processing operations" right?

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.
Thanks,
Michael

Development environment for 10g R2

Guys,
I need to setup a development environment for oracle 10g r2 forms development. I am a new to oracle and due to downsizing we lost our DBAs so I am on my own and need your huge support.........
Current settings: Oracle on the server: Oracle 10g R2
My local client installation: 10.1.0.4.2
Downloaded oracle developer suite from oracle: Oracle Forms: 10.1.2.0.2 (Developer suite 10.1.2.0.2)
* Is this a correct development environment? or any incompatibility do you see with this? *
Secondly, I heard various stuff about development environment and would like your input as well:
* Can I develop forms application from my own desktop, running OC4j from my local machine (came with developer suite) to run and develop forms? or do i have to develop on the server where oracle is installed? *
* Does our oracle server needs any application server (weblogic) installed or just OC4j can work on the server to run forms production? *
Please help me to resolve my confusion so I can present the development environment to my management.....
Thank you soo much...

* Is this a correct development environment? or any incompatibility do you see with this? *If you want to go with Forms 10G, i would apply the latest patch set (i think its 10.1.2.3, but would suggest to consult Metalink for that)
* Can I develop forms application from my own desktop, running OC4j from my local machine (came with developer suite) to run and develop forms? or do i have to develop on the server >where oracle is installed? *Yes, you can develop "locally" on your PC using only OC4J, but for integrationtests it might be useful to have an "test"-OAS (Oracle Application server 10.1.2)
* Does our oracle server needs any application server (weblogic) installed or just OC4j can work on the server to run forms production? *For running 10G forms in production you will need an OAS (Oracle Application server 10.1.2), not a WebLogic-server.
As an alternative to 10G, you could also start directly using Forms11G, which is the latest release. In this case you need a WebLogic-Server 11-installation both for development as also for production.

Setting up development environment with several projects

We struggle with Workshop when having a large workshop application. One way of getting out of this issue was to use several deployments and to use WSRP as a mechanism to get resources from several deployed portlet applications. Performance isn't an issue for our deployment.
This setup might help us with having smaller Workshop applications and making the development environment more efficient, but we see some issues with this.
- Framework package
How should we handle the framework part with CSS files. Duplicating these framework files is not a good solution since some developers most certainly will forget to update all framework files when editing them.
- Portal Administration
Can we just drop the portal administration web app in the most of the workshop application?
- Data project
We use a custom UUP. How should this be handled when splitting the workshop application into several smaller applications?

I used this for a little different purpose; we wanted to generate the whole development environment at one mouse click (formsweb.cfg, reports server etc.); as we used ANT for creating the svn local working copy for each developer we used ANT for this. but you can also use perl or bash :D.
I'd create one template, then loop through all directorys and append the configs to a temp file
/var
/you
/not_you=> create one config section named as the folder in the temp file basing on your template.
in your real formsweb.cfg you might append a line like
# THE DEVELOPER CONFIGS STARTS HERE
after that you locate your config-entries.
when the temp formsweb.cfg is ready, simply delete everything after
# THE DEVELOPER CONFIGS STARTS HERE
and append the configs from the temp file.
That's the way I'd do this ;)

Is parallel development possible?

Hi,
Is parallel development possible using Policy Studio?
Assume that there is a team of 5 developers working on multiple policies at the same time and perform deployments at frequent intervals - is this scenario possible?
Asking this as me and my team met with deployment issues as listed below:
1) My copy of a specific container would be different from the one on a team mate's one - as I started creating policies after the team mate started with his work
2) Once a team mate deployed his/her artefacts, I would lose my artefacts (which the team mate was not having) which I was having on my container
Regards,
Earnest A Thomas

Hi,
The short answer is no and in my opinion the biggest flaw with the API Server at the moment. I know for a fact this is something that is being worked for future releases but no idea when or exactly how it will work but it is a major update.
I work in a similar environment as you are describing and this is how I have implemented our process.
In our Dev environment we have one instance per developer, so each developer can work 100% independently. When the development is done and somewhat tested we export that sub-set of policies and check in to our version control system. We have one person responsible to deploy the exported policies into Test, which usually include updating some specific environment settings (updating URL's etc) and after this we do some regression testing.
One challenge is to be clear of what to export and not, for example LDAP connections. We have the LDAP connection already in test and we make sure this is not included in the Export but still there is a soft reference to this LDAP connection and this will work fine as long the connection is identical between the environments. This is best achieved if a "standard configuration" is made (including all settings for common flows as for example LDAP etc.) and that is being used as a base for the development environments. If there is a need to add common items, for example a new Root CA this should be done centrally and make sure all dev instances get the exact same update.
Cheers,
Stefan

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!

Versioning and parallel development streams for worldwide SAP roll-out

Hi SDN folks,
My customer is in the process of a worldwide roll-out of SAP. They have a transport environment for ECC that looks like this:
D -
>    QA -
> R   -
>   P
We have SAP Charm installed and running in solution manager - to manage the creation of transports in the D system.
The problem we are facing is how to manage parallel development changes and configuration changes.
For example - if we have developers working on a change that is in test in the QA environment - and we hit a production emergency in P - we then need to make an emergency change to the P version (which would only be available in P and R) - and transport this change through to P - in the process - overwriting the changes that our developers are working on in the D and QA environments.
We also have the issue of objects for multiple countries being developed and configured in parallel - and so there will be version conflicts up the to the QA system as well.
Is there any kind of solution for the management of parallel development streams - and versioning - for all custom code / development objects and for configuration changes(other than introducing a second development system)?
Is there any kind of 3rd party product for SAP that helps to solve this issue?
Currently we are considering development freezes, manually renaming objects with versioning identifiers (will only work for some objects), manual backups of versions. - none of these seem to be a tidy universal solution, is there one?
Any help / directions you can offer will be appreciated,
many thanks,
Julian

Hi Julian,
Thanks for the clarification!
Managing production support and new development after go live is always a challenge. It can be addressed in many ways, but it is most important to create a set of rules and stick to the procedure. If you do not want a "second" landscape, you are going to have objects "overwritten" in the D and Q systems when you need to make a production fix -- as you must revert the object in D to the P version to make the fix. Even with a second landscape, objects will have to be merged somehow when a fix is promoted to production.
As I said above, what you can do is have your developers save their current development in released transports before making the production fix. This saves a version that must be merged with the fix, anyway. That is:
Object A is the produciton version and must be fixed.
Object A' is the current development version (unfinished) and is saved into a released transport request.
In D, Object A' is reverted to the A version and corrected for the production error, creating object A'' that is promoted to production.
Object A' and A'' are manually "merged" into A''' as the new current development version.
Yes, objects are overwritten with this method. However, you can always retrieve what has been overwritten since it has been saved in a released transport.
Another option is to bypass Q for production fixes. I.e. D -> R -> P. However, this invalidates the objects in Q until the merged version is created in D and transported to Q.
In any method you choose to do this -- dual development landscapes or not -- discipline and managment are a must.

Setting up Oracle DB 11G in a development environment

Hi
I need to setup a new development environment with Oracle Database 11g and Oracle Apps Server 10G Forms and Reports.
Currently we are running a live system (using Microsoft Virtual PC) on a domain and the virtual servers are joined to the domain.
Where I want to get to with the new development environment is to be able to eventually move these new virtual servers to a completely new domain.
What would be the best way to set this up to minimize the amount of work when setting up the database and apps server with the assumption that I will want to migrate the virtual servers to a new domain in the future. Would it be better to set up a basic workgroup and do the installation of both virtual servers in a workgroup environment?
Also besides having security enhancements is there any advantage of having Oracle installed on a server versus installing on a Windows XP box?
Many thanks.
Spencer

İf you first try to create db you get above errors, then you select "Create new objects in schema" option drop&create process starts.
Result :
TESTTYPEıD_TRG, CUSTOMOPTıONıD_TRG , ıSSUEVERSİONTYPEıD_TRG triggers are dropped and but not created again. ETESTPAGEID_TRG, TESTCASEATTACHMENTID_TRG, ATTCHSTDATA_TRG are newly created instead
As I mentioned above after creation of ATTCHSTDATA_TRG, it throws an error and process stop. In additon, due to this error, all the dropped views are not created again.
All my problem is newly created triggers an couldnt created views I suppose.
Please advice
thank you

ChaRM:Parallel Developement

Hi Team,
I having the requirement like this. Currently we are having following system landscapes:
ECC system landscape: ED1--EQ1-EP1
APO system landscape: AD1-->AQ1->AP1
I am doing the MRP related configuration settings, (for example we consider object X) in ED1 & imported the transport into EQ1.
I am also doing the configuration settings in AD1 in the same object X (related to MRP related). if i import this transport request in AQ1, the changes which i have done EQ1 will get erased / affected which affects the business.
In such cases, if the consultant tries to modify the same object in the two different landscape (parallel development) which affects business process, the system should alert or block the second developemt till the first developement hits the production environment. How to activate this functioanlity in ChaRM?
Is it possible to achieve thro customization synchronizatiion? What is the main functionality of customization synchronizatiion?

Hi Khalil,
I have all the necessary settings in Sol Man & in satellite system as well.
Executed the ChaRM serveices in SE38 "/TMWFLOW/CONFIG_SERVICES"
Conflict Analysis: Cross-Project, Cross-Client (Cross system object lock active)
Object Reporting Active
Modification checks active
All the systems are i GREEN color in t.code "/n/tmwflow/cmsconf"
SCC4 settings in satellite systems are perfect. (Client Roles been set as Customizing,TEST & PRD). Apart from client role settings in SCC4, should i need do some other settings in SCC4 in the respective system?
Executed the report in satellite systems "TMW_CONTROL_PROJECT_LOCK" & activated the project lock in DEV,QA & PRD.
SMSY_SETUP is running properly in Sol Man.
But still the CSOL is NOT working Properly.
I have checked the CSOL scenario as below:
In DEV (satellite system), i have changed the configuration settings & stored in transport request & released the transport request thro Sol Man. Now i could able to create the one more transport request to the same customizing object in DEV (satelite system). I was expecting the error / warning message saying that, "Object already locked" (since the first tranport request is not reached production).
Is my understanding correct?
Please guide
Kumar
