EPMA for Essbase (Is this product for real?)

Hi All,
Just curious if anyone else is having the same issues with EPMA (with Essbase 11.1.1.3) that we experience each month. I have no faith in this product and I am always terrified that unintended changes will go through to Production. It doesn't seem like this product is fit for the marketplace.
Here are a few of the issues we experience:
1. Partition files in EAS must be renamed in order to have a successful deployment.
2. Member order changes. If we position a member in the middle of a member hierachy, it will end up at the bottom of that list after being deployed.
3. If we make changes to Attribute dimensions, they sometimes won't show up after being deployed and we must re-deploy 2 more times to have them show up.
4. We get various error messages after deployment referring to formula mistakes even though these formulas do work.
5. The hierachies appear to be jumbled up and members look to be in the wrong place. We logout, and log back in and everything goes back to normal.
6. It is very difficult to compare what we have deployed in Development to what we have in Prod so that we isolate what changes are going through.
All of these issues basically compound and make it so that we waste days reviewing our work just to make sure EPMA doesn't wreck our metadata. Making changes in the EAS Console is a breeze but I just don't know of a way to push the changes to all 5 of our apps in Dev, QA and Prod in an efficient manner.
Please let me know if there are patches / solutions to fix these issues or if this is what everyone goes through. I just assumed the majority of companies were on EPMA but after seeing these errors, I am starting to wonder. I can't imagine bringing our HFM apps into EPMA with this kind of performance.
Thx,
Mike

According to another post, EPMA isn't really used that much for purely Essbase. I don't use it myself so the actual benefits are unclear. Folks have suggested if you are just using it as a place to store dimensions to share across applications, then you can just do that using an SQL database or similar - which is kinda what we do. I think it gets better if you are using HFM and planning. Maybe the latest version is better?

I own CS 5 Design Premium. Reading the FAQs, it seems I am eligible to upgrade to CS 6 but I can't find the upgrade to purchase and download. I can't upgrade to CC because $49 per month is too much for me -- I don't use this product for work. The $29 offer seems reasonable but $49 is way too much. I don't need the majority of the programs included in CC, but subscribing to just three of them will cost way more. Really not sure what to do here :-(

Thanks Ned. I did find this page, however it isn't an upgrade. I have been purchasing Adobe products for years so that I could just pay the upgrade price for current products. With the current system, I would be paying much more than I would for an upgrade. For example, I have been using my version of CS for at least three years. The upgrade cost me $750 so that comes out to around $21 per month. I guess I have no options as far as upgrading except for paying for the overpriced CC. Oh well, time to start looking for alternatives. It was just so convenient to have the same programs at home that I use at work.

I thought apple is user friendly. That is why I bought it. I do not have a use to download my boot camp assistant for a compatible to microsoft words, excel, powerpoint. They told me I have iWork's for all of this products but mine is not working.

To whom it may concern.
I bought an apple product which is MacBook Air about 7 mths. ago . Anyway I would like to download a compatible words, excel, powerpoint. they told me that I do not need it since IWORKS is all I needed. I tried my keynote , numbers does not worked. Somebody emailed me sending me this mumbo jumbo for it to work. Well, if I was a computer wiz, I probably will not be asking for help.
I followed the tutorials for windows for mac, followed every instructions, hold and behold another problem. I have to have a usb, when I bought this at Best Buy, I asked them what do I need , they said that I do not need anything else because it is all in there. So to make a long story short. I am just so frustrated .
How can I download the windows for mac, I know I have to start in utilities , boot camp assistant, then the usb problem. Please I need help, it is much needed for my job. Ipages does not saved anything, I mean nothing it just disappeared , and you do not have any idea how much I have the long hrs. I have put in.
Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate this .

You can buy Microsoft Office for Mac, it includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Or you can download a free copy of LibreOffice which contains substitutes (good ones) for the Microsoft Office programs.
Do not even think of using Boot Camp unless you have a complete and current TM backup or a clone to restore if it goes wrong. You will also need to buy Windows and Microsoft Office for it. And you MUST read the directions very carefully.

Is This Product For Me?

Hello all,
I have been in need of a wireless router for some time now (since I have a work laptop, iPhone, iMac, and a PS3). I was actually about to buy an AirPort last week, but I hesitated (the $179.99 one with more ports).
I also need a external hard drive to back up what I have on my iMac; I don't however have Leopard, and I am hesitent to upgrade because I'm wondering if the performance of my iMac might decrease.
Is it logical to get a Time Capsule if I'm not using it to wirelessly back up for Time Machine? I mean I still want to back things up, and I want a router, but not specifically for Leopard. Thoughts would be appreciated.

It would still be an excellent product, there are many other backup solutions out there, if you have a .Mac account Backup will be able to use the built in hard drive.
It's a far more elegant solution i think, but i'll also Leopard being a good buy!

EPMA Common Timebalance for Essbase and Planning

Hi,
We are using EPMA for managing dimensions in Planning and Essbase. We have a shared ACCOUNT dimension, the account dimension is used to create an Essbase and Planning application.
We are facing issue with TIMEBALANCE property on the shared ACCOUNT dimension, when we set TIMEBALANCE for a member as NONE it works fine for Essbase application and throws out error when we deploy for PLANNING application, viceversa when TIMEBALANCE is set as FLOW it works for PLANNING and not for ESSBASE.
We don't want to maintain 2 separate ACCOUNT dimension in EPMA for ESSBASE and PLANNING just for this purpose. Is there a way to overcome the TIMEBALANCE property or a common value which will work as FLOW/NONE.
Thanks
Ramesh

I haven't faced your specific issue, however I faced something VERY similar. We were trying to set properties for both an ASO and BSO cube, using EPMA to manage the hierarchies. Setting the ASO property would change the BSO property and vice versa. My general impression was that the Essbase property settings weren't really sorted out in EPMA. This is one reason people don't use EPMA for Essbase (yet). It's okay for Planning, but not really ready for Essbase. Hopefully it will be better in 11.1.2.

Filling line capacities for different products for the same line

Hi,
I have a filling Line PL1. Capacity is 24 hours.On this we can process products A and B.I have defined rate routing and assigned to the production versions in the respective Material master. Now my requirement,
If the product A is processed on PL1,maxmum run length is for 24 hours and the machine must be stopped for cleaning after this time for 2 hours.If the product B is processed on PL1,maximum run length is for 36 hours and the machine must be stopped for cleaning after this time for 4 hours.A and B can be planned on the same filling line back to back without a major change over and the filling line can be used continuously for 36 hours.But B and A cannot be planned on the same filling line back to back without a major change over and change over is required.
How do we map in the routing and where we maintain the conditions of 24 hous max run lentgth if product is A and 36 hours max run length if product is B....
Thanks
Hemanth

Hi Suresh,
Thanks for your quick reply. In my rate routing i maintain base qty 1000L and production time 1 hour tear down 2 hour for filling line FL1 with capacity 24 hours for Product A and maintain base qty 500L and production time 1 hour tear down 4 hour for filling line FL1 with capacity 24 hours for Product B.
Is it correct?
But where we are giving max length of run as 24 hours if product is A and Max lenght of run 36 hours if product is B...
Thanks in Advance
Hemanth

Hi Dave and Aman,
Really Thank you very much for your reply.
Explaining question more clear here.
Every product will have classification right! That is happening the same here that is , I have a object saying that 10 chars product will have some grouping{(Ex: ABCD Z) (this can be seen in the path sap menu legal->customs mgmnt->master data->maintain products->display->legal control tab)} ,for this 10 char prroduct i have to find 12,13 and 15 char products first(for example0010101213 ---10 chars product
0010101213S21---13 chars product
0010101213B1225--15 chars product ) and then check the grouping for these 12,13 and 15 products.
After that if there is no grouping for these 12,13 and 15 products, i have to assign 10 char product grouping to all three types of products.
that is the main requirement.
If not ths is clear please let me know.
My qyestion here is
1) how to find 12,13 and 15 chars product for a 10 char product for example
0010101213 ---10 chars product
0010101213S21---13 chars product
0010101213B1225--15 chars product

Toplink compared to its competitors and futur of this product in O/R domain

I am sincerely disappointed by the evolution of TopLink whereas I have been in favour of this product for several years at important customers.
1- New version 10.1.3 (10.0.3 included) has been in beta for almost 3 years!
2- patch corrects only the bugs without any evolution on the level of the functionalities, all the new functionalities are in the 10.1.3 which does not manage to leave. By way of comparison of the product as KODO JDO brings in each patch: New features + Notable Exchanges + Bugfixes 3.4.0 - 3.3.4 - 3.3.3 - 3.3.2 - 3.3.1 - 3.3.0 -! I AM JEALOUS OF KOKO CUSTOMERS
You can see KOKO evolution on 2005 at : http://www.solarmetric.com/Software/Documentation/3.4.0/docs/relnotes.html
3- Other editors (KODO+COCOBASE+JBOSS) start to set up beta versions EJB 3.0 with very very complete documenatation and product. Whereas Toplink provides only examples (tutorial) over OC4J (10.1.3 preview in beta since 3 years!) . No real toplink (bata vversion) of Documentation or Product. Like KODO 4 @ : http://www.solarmetric.com/Software/beta/4.0.0EA/
+ Real and Rich documentation @ : http://www.solarmetric.com/Software/Documentation/4.0.0EA/docs/
4- 4 10.1.3 preview Toplink brings functionalities JCA, JAXP but not much of things on the level of mapping O/R: updateAll, cacheEviction, returning, java.util.logging. These functionalities already available on the others concurrent product do not make me any more dream !
I hope that it other evolutions (not announced) on Object/Relational scope ?
5- does Oracle have still wants to really invest in O/R mapping. There is much marketing, much of mediatic show (Eclipse, GlassFish, EJB3 lead) but not much of technical evolutions compared to competitors.
Thank you to product management make a factual answer because I am a real customer, I am really in favour of the product for 5 years. But I am really disappointed when I see new small actors (KODO...) much better doing?

I am sincerely disappointed by the evolution of
TopLink whereas I have been in favour of this product
for several years at important customers. I am sorry to hear about your disappointment. Hopefully I can provide some insight into where we are with TopLink. It is a critical part of our J2EE/EJB infrastructure providing its classic POJO persistence as well as EJB 2.1 CMP/BMP, and now our preview support of EJB 3.0 persistence.
1- New version 10.1.3 (10.0.3 included) has been in
beta for almost 3 years! As an integrated part of the Oracle Application Server we ship in coordination with the overall release. I understand your frustration and we are working hard to ensure we have a high quality 10.1.3 AS release as well as a first rate persistence solution.
2- patch corrects only the bugs without any evolution

0/docs/relnotes.htmlOur patch-sets are just that. Patches to fix issues important to our customers. They are not new feature releases. As an independent product (prior to the Oracle acquisition) we also had many smaller releases but we were also not well integrated with any container. This integration providing better diagnostics, management, and out of the box support requires us to integrate with the container. I believe you will find Kodo will start to feel this as BEA starts to deliver an integrated persistence solution that may compete with TopLink's complete solution.
Note: This does not mean that we are not supporting other containers. We do extensive testing across non-Oracle databases and application servers to ensure that we continue to work well there as well.
3- Other editors (KODO+COCOBASE+JBOSS) start to set

0EA/docs/At the time of our EJB 3.0 preview we had the best support available for both within the container as well as outside the container. This was primarily documented through how-to's. As we move towards our release (post 10.1.3) that implements the complete specification, which is not yet final, we will be delivering more complete and formal documentation.
The feedback I had received on our how-to's has been excellent to date. It does require more updates now with our 10.1.3 release to address additional functionality we will be providing in the EJB 3.0 persistence areas.
4- 4 10.1.3 preview Toplink brings functionalities
JCA, JAXP but not much of things on the level of
mapping O/R: updateAll, cacheEviction, returning,
java.util.logging. These functionalities already
available on the others concurrent product do not
make me any more dream !
I hope that it other evolutions (not announced) on
Object/Relational scope ?If you look at the list of new features in 10.1.3 here you will see that we have also invested heavily in improvements to our core ORM.
updateAll = UpdateAllQuery
cacheEviction = cache invalidation/expiration (time-to-live) as well as cache coordination mode using invalidation
returning= we have a returning policy for use with triggers and stored procs
logging = we have updated our logging infrastructure to use java.util.logging
Many of these and others have been available in our earlier previews as well. We have a dedicated team here focused both on ORM as well as OXM (including JCA). I would estimate that 75% of our efforts have been on enhanced ORM functionality.

5- does Oracle have still wants to really invest in
O/R mapping. There is much marketing, much of
mediatic show (Eclipse, GlassFish, EJB3 lead) but not
much of technical evolutions compared to
competitors.I believe with 10.1.3 we raise the bar of ORM persistence solutions. The new ORM functionality and improved mapping editors will provide existing users new features they have been asking for as well as help grow the developer community. Our community edition of TopLink in GlassFish delivers core ORM persistence to those projects where the full licensed product is not required as well as providing these customers a seamless upgrade to the full solution when they wish to.
As this release comes out we will be updating our collateral and I will strive to ensure our continued leadership and investment in ORM functionality is reflected.

This does make it clear that we need to be more vocal and clear about our work as well as getting the 10.1.3 release out the door. I appreciate the feedback and will try to address these concerns directly.

I've used Tarantella quite some time now, and am very satisfied.
One alternative, however, might be NoMachine NX - running on open source
and multiple OS'es.
From their website:
NoMachine NX is a Terminal Server and remote access solution based on a
comprising set of enterprise class open source technologies. Thanks to the
outstanding X-Window compression technology developed by NoMachine, NX
makes it possible to run any graphical application on any operating system
across any network connection at incredible speed. Besides the native
X-Window protocol, NX is able to translate and tunnel industry standard
protocols like the RDP Protocol, used by Microsoft and Citrix, and the VNC
protocol, used by a number of freely available tools, into X-Window,
giving secure and fast access to the complete set of network computing
facilities available inside a corporate network.
NoMachine NX Server is a cost effective solution that enables any business
to deploy centralized applications to thin clients, mobile and home
workers, over any network connection, with astonishing speed and ease of
use.
NX server runs on Linux and Solaris operating systems, serving
applications installed on the local computer or operating as a gateway to
any Windows Terminal Server and VNC server available on the back-end. NX
clients are available for a wide range of platforms and operating systems,
from Windows to Mac OS/X. All NX clients are free and, more importantly,
NX server software is licensed per-server, not per-connection. This
represents a dramatic cost saving in comparison to competing products. The
power of network computing has never been more affordable.

Thank you for your input. At least you're not like Lawrence giving poor information.
Hmmmm.. having been working with this product for eight years now, while sometimes I make an erroneous statement, it rarely happens these days.
In this case, it is Yan Li who has given you incomplete information. In addition to the split-server scenario not supporting the
database on a Terminal Services server (which is the information provided by Yan, but not really relevant to this conversation), it is also true that WSUS has
never been supported on a Terminal Services server.
This was posted to the Release Notes, historically, but due to several omissions in the WSUS v3 SP2 Release Notes, does not appear in that document. (That is to say, the SP2 release notes were exclusive to the SP2 feature set, and were not inclusive of the
RTM and SP1 limitations and issues.)
Here is the entry from the
WSUS v3 Service Pack 1 Release Notes:
WSUS 3.0 SP1 is not supported on servers running Terminal Services
Although WSUS 3.0 SP1 may still run on servers running Terminal Services, doing so is not supported or recommended. WSUS 3.0 SP1 will not run on a server running Terminal Services in configurations using remote SQL Server implementations. Because all remote
custom actions (including installation) on a Terminal Services license server will be run as the system account, and the server's system account may not have permissions on the remote SQL Server, the installation may fail.
