Essbase in read-only mode

Gurus,
I have three essbase databases in my environment, and I am planning to run a command to sync the three dataases.
During the sync process, I do not want the users to log in to any of the databases, meaning I dont want users to have access to any of them or change any data in the databases.
Is there a way where I can put the databases in 'read-only' mode so that I can run the command.
Or is there any other script or any process I can use so that users wont have access until I complete the sync process.
Any suggestion is appreciateD
Thanks

Maxl would probably be your best bet since you are likely using it with the data migrations.
alter application "appName" disable connects; /* nobody lower than applciation manager can connect */
This has a number of options
- disable updates
- disable commands (Prevent all requests to databases in the application, including non-data-specific requests, such as viewing database information or changing database settings. All users are affected, including other administrators. Administrators are affected by this setting as a safety mechanism to prevent accidental updates to databases during maintenance operations.)
More detailed info is at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/maxl_altapp.html.

EDITED
If this is a planning application, you will also want to deal with those connecting to Essbase through Planning. This is handled through the Application Mode (see http://in2hyperion.com/post/2012/09/26/Change-Application-Maintenance-Mode-via-Command-Line.aspx on automating). Keep in mind, any connection from Planning to Essbase uses an admin ID, not the user ID.

Read-Only mode for a Essbase DB

Is the a way to put my Essbase Db with Historical values in read-only?, I found that the Maxl Archieve option will do but I don't know if this is only for backup.
Regards,
Antonio

If you want to put the entire database into read-only mode, SoL (love that name) gave you the right direction.
If you only want to put part of the database into read-only mode, e.g., 2007 through 2009 data, you can use READ filters to do this.
Have a read here on the theory: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_dbag/dsefilt.htm
Have a look here on how to do it: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/eashelp/crtfilt.htm

Essbase Java API - Check if the cube is in read-only mode

Hello,
I use "Essbase Java Api 11.1.2.0" to manage my essbase server.
I made a script based on sample to make a cube in read-only mode and I have an exception when the cube is already in read-only mode.
So is-it possible to check if the cube is in read-only mode with the essbase java api ?
Thanks
Arnaud

Hi,
I have a solution that might work for you, please follow steps below:
1) Go to your project schedule, make a small modification to any task on schedule and 'Publish' the project.
2) While your project is being published and saved, open another window
Server Settings -> Manage Queue Jobs
3) Here you can view the progress of your current Project Publishing update, check if all goes smooth and your project is published successfully without indicating any errors :
( to view any error look at the last column of
table on Manage Queue Job page)
4) Also in your Project window see if the project is published and not saved as Draft.
Basically this will give you a fair idea of your project being published or not.

Form in read only mode

Hi,
I am a beginner in Hyperion. I created one sample form using custom dimension, but i cant able to input the values to the cell. Its in read only mode.
Thanks,
PC

Do you have security on any dimensions? If so and you do not have write access to specific members this will make the form read-only.
Make sure the intersections you are working with are level 0 data or if you are attempting to write to upper level members you will need to make the version a Top Down rather than Bottom Up.
If the version you are using has process management enabled then you will need to start the planning cycle using Workflow/Manage Process and select the scenario/version combination -- administrators can write regardless of it being started.
If your members are in planning however have not been sent to Essbase you will also find the form is read-only. You can do a Manage Database and Refresh to ensure your planning members exist in Essbase also.
Good Luck,
John

How can I put Planning into Read Only Mode ?

We need to backup our Essbase cubes to tape every night. How can I update Oracle HSP* tables so that I put Planning into Read Only Mode ? I want to prevent Asia and Europe users from updating Planning while Essbase is in READ-ONLY mode (BEGINARCHIVE).

Hi,
You should put the planning application in Maintenance mode if you are doing any backups, this can be done from planning web.
Select Administration > Application Settings.
For Show, select Advanced Settings.
Click Go.
Select System Settings.
For Application Maintenance Mode, select an option for Enable Use of the Application For:
All users —All users can log on to the application or continue working with the application if they are currently logged on.
Administrators —Only other administrators can log on. Other users are forced off and prevented from logging on until the option is reset to All Users.
Owner —Only the application owner can log on. All other users are prevented from logging on. If they are currently logged on, they are forced off the system until the option is reset to All Users or Administrators. Only the application owner can restrict other administrators from using the application.
Hope this helps

How to provide a LINK on normal TEXT field in read only mode

Hi,
I have a TEXT item and that is used for only url purpose.
so a user can enter something like http://www.abc.com in that field.
So when I am in read only mode for that item, I want a link also on that text..
how can I do that.
thanks,
Deepak

You could create a pl/sql expression computation on the TEXT item which will convert the value shown for the field to be a HTML link
'<a href="http:// ' || :PXX_TEXT || '">' || :pXX_TEXT || '</A>';Make the computation conditional using the same condition as is used to render the item as read-only

actually i do not want to open the file in read only mode because people can open and like to change and save. so guide me what i can do to not to open the file in read only mode.
here is my full code. just have a look and tell me what is wrong in my code or tell me any trick as a result i can open the file not in read only mode. here is my code.

                GC.Collect();
                GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();

I know it's a very old issue and I reached to this page looking for a solution. Finally, I have found a fix to this problem.
The problem is that we create an instance of Word and do not close it correctly. This makes program believe that the file is already open and hence you're getting the respective message of file being locked by you.
Set the visibility of your application to true and then when you close it both file and instance should close and you will not get the problem again.

I am not able to use Firefox with Sharepoint - I can only open a file in read-only mode and cannot checkout the document and edit.

I would like to use Firefox with Sharepoint.
However, I am only able to open a file in "read only" mode whch means I cannot edit the document and save it. I am also not able to "check-out" a document in Sharepoint and edit it at the same time.

This may not work for everyone, but I solved this problem by clicking on the file name in sharepoint, not the document icon to the left of the name. This then brought up the various options, including checking out, editing, version history etc. It seems obvious but I have only just realised this!

ALV: columns in read-only mode look like editable columns in edit mode

Hi,
My application contains an ALV table which should be toggled between display and edit mode like the rest of the fields.
The evident solution was to use
if_salv_wd_table_settings~set_read_only( abap_true or abap_false)
However, unlike the rest of the fields, when the application changes into display mode and the fields get grey like in any SAP application, the columns in the table which were editable remain white, and those which were not editable and thus grey, get now white, too, instead of the other way round. So it will look to the normal user, as if now all columns would be editable!
Of course, he would realize that they are not when he tries to edit them, but this is irritating.
See following link with screenshots (only active for 3 weeks from now on):
[Link to my webmail space/SDN: .|https://businesswebmail.telekom.at/filestorage/MzYxMTk1OTMx/]
I have looked
through my books ("Einstieg in Web Dynpro for ABAP", "Praxisbuch Webdynpro for ABAP", ...)
through the wiki for Webdynpro for ABAP here in SDN as well as through this forum (by searching with "ALV edit")
through the notes in BC-WD-CMP-ALV
but could not find any solution. Most tables in those PDF articles found here in the WD4A wiki also show white cells although they are probabliy in read-only mode (e.g. the imitation of the SE16N browser article).
The attributes to the LO_CELL_EDITOR for both Inputfields and textview columns contain exactly the same values when toggling between display and edit mode (read-only in table settings), so also no chance to change here anything.
Also changing the cell design is not a solution as there is no design that looks like grey for not editable according to WDUI_TABLE_CELL_DESIGN ([SAP Help - WDUI_TABLE_CELL_DESIGN|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/56/5e9041d3c72e7be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm].
I do not know if I have made an error, as this is my 3rd Web Dynpro (after the first 2 of the introduction book), or SAP is really inconsistent in User interface between "normal" fields and ALV table fields.
Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance,
Erlend

Hi,
In my application aslo, i have 30 columns out of which 10 are input fields. But, i'm showing the table as ABAP_TRUE incase of Non-editable otherwise to abap_false. Now i'm getting everything as in WHITE cells.
Do you want to show it is Grey mode with Non-editable feature. Is that so.
How many columns are there which has Input fields.
Get the column references.
Now, based on the mode of display create the object as Input or Textview field.
For that column -
If mode eq 'D'.
Create an object for Textview(cl_salv_wd_uie_text_view)
else.
Create an Object for Inputfield(cl_salv_wd_uie_input_field)
endif.
The Append row is a standard button or custom one on ALV toolbar.
Do you want to hide the toolbar or just disable these buttons.
If you want to hide the toolbar then refer my wiki -

How to display the "display values" in READ Only mode for a SHUTTLE

Hi,
I have a form item of type *'Shuttle'* and using the following LOV.
   select DEPTNAME d, DEPTNO r
    from DEPTIn normal mode..it displays the department name and internally store the Deptno..
Now I converted this item to Read Only mode using Read Only Condition Type
the problem is as soon as it becomes read only...it displays the deptno....not the department name
            Department-   10:20:30How can I display the "display values" i.e the actual department name in read only mode..
            Department-   Department1:Department2:Department3Thanks,
Deepak

Hi,
It seems feature. Shuttle is span tag when it is read only.
Work around could be that
you compute display as text item with LOV display value according shuttle session state and show shuttle and this item conditionally depend case

Querying up AR Customer OA page in read-only mode for a Single Customer

We are building a Custom Form in which associated Customer <defined in AR> would be queried up.
Now we want to give an option to the User to view the complete details of the Customer. We would be giving a menu option in Tools 'View Customer' thru which he would see the Full Customer Details. <AR Customer OA page>
We have two requirements
1> The Full Customer Details should show up in Standard OA Customer Page the moment page comes up. The user should not be required to query the details.
2> It should be read-only and user should not be able to update any field.
How can we achieve this requirement? I did some RnD but did not see any place in EBS where we display the Customer Page in read-only mode and that too quried up for one particular customer.
Thanks
Arun

Hi Arun,
Please let me know if find any solution for this. We have a similar scenario in which we need to call the customer Page with all the inforamtion populated, related to one customer.
Thanks in advance,

Team Calendar in Read-Only Mode in Leave Request Approver Screen

Hi,
After lots of interaction and inputs in my previous thread,
Customization Done for 2 level approval of leave in ESS but Facing Problems
       Our Team had decided to make the Team Calendar in Leave Request Approval Screen in Read-Only Mode (more precisely modus=TeamView)
       My question is, is it possible to achieve the same, because instead of adding custom validations using Custom RFC, If it is possible to make the Team Calendar as Read-Only than it will help us to achieve our goals. Please do let us know that is it possible? and, if Yes, How to achieve it?
      On leave request approval screen, we want Approver to take any action via "Show Worklist" and No User Action allowed on Team Calendar (Disabled but not InVisible).
Thanks,
Regards,
Tushar Shinde.

This is the note 1484853 but as i said you cant see it unless you raise a Message for SAP , We have to add yout company to the note.
these are the steps
Symptom
In LeaveRequestApprover application, a higher level manager can
approve/reject a leave though he/she is not the owner of the approval
workitem (TS12300097). It happens when a higher level manager clicks on
the leave in the TeamCalendar launched from the LeaveRequestApprover
application.
Other terms
LeaveRequestApprover, TS12300097, prepare_select, WorkList,
LPT_ARQ_REQUEST_UIAF07
Reason and Prerequisites
Reason:- This is caused because the approve/reject button were not
restricted based on the logged in user.
Prerequisites:- IT105 entries for the backend PERNRs should be correctly
maintained.
You can check here
Object REPS LPT_ARQ_REQUEST_UIAF07
Object Header FUGR PT_ARQ_REQUEST_UIA

the note is meant for few customers only

Error when opening XLSX file with Excel 2003 SP3, file does open but in read only mode with temporary name

I am using Excel 2003 SP3 and have the Office 2007 compatibility pack installed. When I open Office 2007 formatted Excel files (XSLX) directly in Windows Explorer, I receive the following error if I do not have Excel already opened:
"Windows cannot find '<path to file>'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."
Even though I receive the error, the file does open; however, it opens in Read Only mode with a name such as "Xl0000024.xls". The number seems to increment up each time it happens.
Now here is the strange part. If I have Excel already open and try to open the file in Windows Explorer, the file opens fine in Modify mode with no error and with the correct file name.
I Googled the error I was getting and found KB211494. It says I should uncheck the box in Options on the General tab that says "Ignore other applications", but this box is already unchecked in my case. Any other ideas? This is
really frustrating as a small percentage of our company has upgraded to Office 2007 with the rest still on Office 2003.

This may be a file association problem. To solve that:
In Windows 7:
1. Right-click the file,
2. Select "Open With"
select [Your Program Here]
3. Check always use this program.
In Windows XP:
1. Locate the file as you have described above
2. Right click the file
3. Select Open with from the pop-up menu
4. Click Choose default program…
5. Select Excel in the Recommended Programs box
6. Check Always use the selected program to open this kind of file
7. Click on OK.
1. Make Excel not available from Office 2007 listed under Programs and Features in Control Panel.
2. Take a registry backup using the steps given here
3. In the registry editor window expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and navigate to .xls right and delete it.
4. Exit Registry Editor
5. Undo Step 1 to make Excel available.
6. Restart the computer and verify it the issue is fixed.

My external hard drive is in Read Only mode...

My external hard drive, which I have used before, is in "Read Only Mode."
I have put files on this drive and taken files off of it before, so it isn't an NTFS issue.
I am still able to write with a different Mac.
FYI, this is a Late-2011 Macbook Air.

You are about to format your storage device. Be sure to copy and take the back up before formatting. Just select the physical disc you want to reformat in the tree on the left-hand side of Disk Utility. You can select a new file system format from the drop down below, and also name the new volume to be created. Showing the info of the newly formatted drive, you can see the disc is now set to read and write.
