Essbase BAK, SEC, CFG files

Gurus,
If I want to export-import (copy) Essbase .bak, .sec, and cfg files from one environment how do we copy them. Can I just copy and paste it to the target environment? Also what folder do i need to copy it to?
Thanks

You're quite correct in noting that the artifacts out of LCM are different looking than what you might get out of a nightly backup process, although I think a lot of it is mostly the same.
LCM takes care of moving everything across environments although I don't think Essbase.sec is moved across. In fact, if you look at the LCM documentation, you'll note that Essbase.sec is NOT migrated. However the filters that live in Essbase.sec are migrated at a database level.
Take a look here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_lifecycle_management/apds04.html
What are you trying to do? Backup? Migrate? Both? Do you really and truly need to use backup files to do migrations? Why not use LCM to do the migration? That's why Oracle created it. And that's why the documentation team went into some trouble to write scenario-based documentation (that was not an accident, btw) to help you migrate. You should take a good look at those docs -- I know I was really pleased when I ran across the Planning migration docs -- I had figured it out (mostly) but it was nice to know that the steps I had trialed-and-errored my way into were for the most part correct.

Essbase.sec adn essbase.bak got corrupted

Hi essbase world..my essbase.sec and essbase.bak files got corrupted and i dont have backup of them. can any one suggest me a method to recover all my applications and get them running again.Thanks,Gpal

Can you not get an older version of your sec/bak file from backup?If not, presuming that you still have your app directory, you could try deleting the sec file altogether.Enter the appropriate administrator password etc and then do File/New/Application using the EXACT same names as the existing applications. This is unsupported but I've used it to recreate the app mgr view of apps after a corrupt/lost sec file.I'm afraid this doesn't help you with your users/groups though. Do you have an old dump of your sec file so at least you have a hard copy of filters etc?

Essbase.cfg file

I am a novice and would like to know how to set the parameters in Cfg file.When I have opened the file I am seeing only one entry there in that filei.e about JVMModulelocation. I wonder why all those default settings are not shown there? Can someone guide me on this?Jaya

JVMModulelocation .This Itself sets all default options.if you want means you can add some commands to change default settings and you can see it through app manager.Let me know if you have any Questions ?ThanksSreenivas

Changing the CFG file

If i have changed the CFG file
will that cause a issue with Starting
Foundation Services
Admin Services
and
Essbase Server
Please advise

I am not sure what you have changed but the WebLogic deployments should be independent of essbase, so in theory no it shouldn't cause an issue.

CFG file questions Part II

when making adjustment to the CFG file
can you just shut down the Essbase server and Restart
or do you have to stop EPM completely
for the changes to updated

No you don't need to restart the whole of EPM just the essbase server.
Also from the docs -
"After editing the configuration file, perform the proper action to have the configuration file reread:
If the setting applies to the server, stop and restart Essbase Server.
If the setting applies to a specific application, stop the application (if it is running) and restart it.
If the setting applies only to a database, restart the application."

CFG file questions

when making adjustment to the CFG file
is there a order that should be followed
Please advise

The only "order" I would recommend is to remember to stop and restart Essbase after making changes to the cfg file. I do also like to group similar settings so they are easier to find and to add comments about why I set something the way I did

Can XML Publisher add a digital certificate (cert.pfx) via the xdo.cfg file or do I need to upgrade and use BI Publisher instead?

Hi Guys
I need to add a digital certificate to a clients customer statements and invoices. XML Publisher 5.6.3 has been used originally to design the templates as RTF. I have the following questions please...
1. Can an RTF template be used or do I need to convert it to a pdf template?
2. Can XML publisher even be used or do I need to get the DBAs to install BI Publisher. XML Publisher doesn't even have the signature properties in the admin screens that BI Publisher has.
Below is a copy of the xdo.cfg file which currently does not add the pfx file...
<config version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/">

Is there a way to edit the saved StartCfg.cfg file on a Linksys SRW switch?

I have a SRW248G4 switch that I want to edit the StartCfg.cfg file to use as a template for several new switches. The content of the startcfg.cfg file looks to be binary or mostly binary. Is there a way to get the switch to save and load the file in text format similar to the Cisco switches?
An alternate option is to create a templete config on one of the new switches with all the standard settings, save it, upload that template config to the other new switches and change the things that are different/unique from the web interface. This is possible but will take a lot longer.
Thanks,
Kerry Melcher, CCNP

You cannot edit the library file itself, but you could perhaps edit the XLM file and then import that, basically following the procedure you use when the library file has been damaged:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
You'll need to be very careful about editing the XML, though, as it's really easy to completely mess up your library if you edit the wrong thing. Make absolutely sure you have backup copies of the original iTunes library file and XML file, so you can put them back just in case something does go wrong.
Hope this helps.

user_pref doesn't work in mozilla.cfg<br />
Also the proper name of the function is lockPref() and not lockpref().
See:

These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Windows 8.1 Update and the EI.cfg file

Hi
I have noticed that, installing Windows 8.1 Update Core or Pro with the Multiple Editions MSDN iso, I see, with the slmgr.vbs /dli command, that its distribution channel is Retail. If, however, I add the EI.cfg file
[Channel]
Retail
[VL]
0
in sources directory of the iso using Windows ADK for Windows 8.1 Update, the distribution channel becomes Volume. How come?
Where am I wrong?
Thanks
Bye
Balubeto

Since the Windows Update 8.1 Update (Multiple Editions) MSDN iso includes the retail editions of the Core and Professional, how I should do to change this iso so that, during the installation, allow me to choose which edition to install?
In addition, I would include in this iso my two serial numbers of installation (one for the Core and the other for the Professional) so that I should not insert any serial number during installation.
So, what should I do to reach my goal?
Thanks
Bye

How to set image source path in formsweb.cfg file in forms 11g

In the below HTML code i set image source in the image tag as below:

AFAIK, this is not the correct way to set the image location.
We call the working directory as context, so inside the context root along with WEB-INF, maintain a folder with name img and put all the images in that directory.
You can use either .\<image_folder> or the optimum way would be (if you are using JSPs) to use getContext() method and traverse accordingly.
FYI,,, using getContext() will give you context root directory, from there it is as simple as accessing any other folder.
Hope this answers your question.
Cheers,
Jeets.

Unable to Open .cfg file in NVRAM or Flash in Cisco GNS3 Router

Hello Cisco Community
A program that I'm using to manage cisco devices has created a .cfg file in nvram in a gns3 router. When the program tries to access the I get the following error message:
'Could not open policy cfg file'
The file is a Tcl file. The full error message is as follows:

Can someone please tell me what could cause the .cfg from being opened?
Your expeditious assistance with this will be greatly appreciated.

You're missing an access mode:

Overwriting vm.cfg file

Hallo,
I'm using direct disk access for a couple of VM, because it seems that the performance is quite better. I test it with Oracle 11g and I had about 15-20% better performance with DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CALIBRATE_IO. So I edit the vm.cfg file with the stanza phy:/dev.... . This works quite well, but from time to time the vm.cfg file seems to be overwritten (maybe ovs-agent). After that the stanza for the direct access is deleted, and it is aligned with the entries in OV Manager.
Is there a way to prevent this.
Reg.

Is there a way to prevent this.What version of Oracle VM are you running? This shouldn't happen any more with Oracle VM 2.1.5 and in 2.2, we've added the ability to add physical multipath devices as Shared Virtual Disks. This same mechanism can be used to add physical devices to a single guest (just ignore the "shared" part). This requires the devices to be exposed as /dev/mapper or /dev/mpath devices. You'll be able to import the disks in Oracle VM Manager under the "Resources" -> "Shared Virtual Disks" -> "Import" option. Once you import a multipath device, you can visit a particular guest's storage tab to enable it.

Controlling autoupdate of Adobe Flash Player ActiveX with mms.cfg file

For several years we have suppressed Flash Player ActiveX from autoupdating by using the mms.cfg file, with the setting "AutoUpdateDisable=1" -- and it has worked without a problem.
With the constant updates of Flash Player for security reasons, we decided several months ago to change the autoupdate setting and allow Flash Player ActiveX to update automatically, without notifying the user, checking every seven days. We changed the mms.cfg file to this:
AutoUpdateDisable=0
AutoUpdateInterval=7
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
We are using Windows 7 64-bit, so the mms.cfg file was copied/updated to: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash, as well as C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
The problem we are randomly seeing across our 2500+ computers is a notification that a Flash Player update is available. This is occurring on machines with the mms.cfg file in place.
Does anyone else have this same issue? We were also wondering if the encoding of the file, i.e., ANSI or UTF-8, has any bearing on the effectiveness of this mms.cfg file. Or has a registry setting been updated overriding the mms.cfg?
We believe the file is encoded in UTF-8, but it is difficult to be 100% certain of this.
Screenshot of the auto-update notification:
Thanks
Currently running Flash Player ActiveX 11.9.900

You're right, it sounds very malwareish, but they will know more in the Flash Player forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer . This is teh Adobe Reader forum. When you post there, a screen shot may help.
