FDM 11 using FM11x-G5-C to load to HFM 9.3.1

Hi, we're upgrading our Hyperion system (9.3.1) to Oracle EPM 11 (11.1.1.3) in phases and as part of this, we need to leave HFM at 9.3.1 and upgrade FDM to 11.1.1.3.
We have set up the interface such that the FDM 11 installation can connect to the HFM 9.3.1 application using FM11x-G5-C adapter (browse for target value works). But while using a lights-out process using the batch-loader, it fails to load to HFM, with the error "-2146233088-Unable to open file <FDM_outbox_dir>\49-051010154259.Log" and error ends in "File: CHsvDataLoad.cpp;Line: 2564;Ver: 9.3.1.0.2176; At Line: 486".
The last piece of the error message indicates that the error is originating in HFM. My guess is that FDM 11 puts this file in a location different than what FDM 9.3.1 used to (on the basis that Oracle changed log file locations in version 11). Would this be a correct assumption?
However, the EPM 11.1.1.3 compatibility matrix indicates that FDM 11.1.1.3 is compatible with HFM 9.3.x, so this shouldn't be the case.
Any help/pointers are appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy

The issue was because HFM 11 was also installed on the server. The HFM 11 client cannot load to the 9.3.1 HFM application.
I replaced the HFM client's files with the files from the 9.3.1 server, and was then able to load the file using the client successfully. But it did not help for FDM. Most probably it is was DCOM config issue.
Since I need this set up only for a few weeks, I have set up the file system to output files to a shared folder and use batch loader on the target server to pick up and load the files.

FDM - Errors with Foreign Language Characters in Load Files

For our Netherlands data import file, our source account decriptions contain the character "ë". The account decription is not loaded to HFM, but we are receiving error messages when importing. Is there a way to ignore foreign language characters? Another post suggested "Administration", "Configuation Settings", "File Encoding Type" then set to "Unicode", but the version I am using does not have this option. Version is 11.1.1.3.
Thank you!
Melody

Hello Melody,
If you are using FDM v11.1.1.3.00 the file-encoding is defaulted to Unicode. It might be helpful to contact support.
It could be your DB isn't setup to handle unicode characters (in this event the information would be stored in the SQL*Loader or MSSQL Logs). It could also be the file you are trying to import actually isn't "unicode" but more of a local ANSI/ASCII format.
Most 'European' characters were supported in that release; and I know several clients that use it as expected.
Thank you,

FDM event scripts firing twice during data loads

Here's an interesting one. I have added the following to three different event scripts (one at a time, ensuring only one of these exists at any one time), to clear data before loading to Essbase:
Event Script content:
' Declare local variables
Dim objShell
Dim strCMD
' Call MaxL script to run data clear calculation.
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strCMD = "D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\startMAXL.cmd D:\Test.mxl"
API.DataWindow.Utilities.mShellAndWait strCMD, 0
MaxL Script:
login ******* identified by ******* on *******;
execute calculation 'FIX("Member1","Member2") CLEARDATA "Member3"; ENDFIX' on *******.*******;
exit;
However, it appears that the clear is carried out twice, both before and after the data has been loaded to Essbase. This has been verified at each step by checking the Essbase application log:
No event script:
- No Essbase data clear in application log
Adding above to "BefExportToDat" event script:
- Script is executed once after clicking on Export in FDM Web Client (before the "Target System Load" modal popup is displayed). Entries are visible in Essbase Application log.
- Script is then executed a second time when clicking on the OK button in the "Target System Load" modal popup. Entries are visible in Essbase Application log.
Adding above to "AftExportToDat" event script:
- Script is executed once after clicking on Export in FDM Web Client (before the "Target System Load" modal popup is displayed). Entries are visible in Essbase Application log.
- Script is then executed a second time when clicking on the OK button in the "Target System Load" modal popup. Entries are visible in Essbase Application log.
Adding above to "BefLoad" event script:
- Script is NOT executed after clicking on Export in FDM Web Client (before the "Target System Load" modal popup is displayed).
- Script is executed AFTER the data load to Essbase when clicking on the OK button in the "Target System Load" modal popup. Entries are visible in Essbase Application log.
Some notes on the above:
1. "BefExportToDat" and "AftExportToDat" are both executed twice, before and after the "Target System Load" modal popup. :-(
2. "BefLoad" is executed AFTER the data is loaded to Essbase! :-( :-(
Does anyone please have any idea how we might execute an Essbase database clear before loading data, and not after we have loaded fresh data? And perhaps on why the above event scripts appear to be firing twice?! There does not appear to be any logic to this!

Hi Larry,
As mentioned, our exports do not appear to be generating the "-B.Dat" and "-C.Dat" files at present. However, you are correct with the Export and Load event scripts firing twice (once for the main TB file and again for the journal file). Does this also mean it could continue to fire an additional two times for the "-B.Dat" and "-C.Dat" files?
On the last run, the output was as follows with the modified scripts:
After clicking on Export in Workflow, the Target System Load modal popup is displayed, and the first two files have been generated:
14.24.15.0527_BefExportToDat.txt
14.24.17.0617_AftExportToDat.txt
After clicking on OK in the Target System Load modal popup, the actual load to Essbase takes place. A further six files are generated:
14.24.21.0289_BefLoad.txt
14.24.22.0117_AftLoad.txt
*14.24.22.0152_BefExportToDat-A.txt*
*14.24.22.0414_AftExportToDat-A.txt*
*14.24.22.0433_BefLoad-A.txt*
*14.24.22.0652_AftLoad-A.txt*
This makes a lot more sense, since one can see that the event scripts are being run a second time against the journal files during the data load. Many thanks, this solves my problem as I can now place my script where I want in the process chain. It's just a shame that there are not separate event scripts to distinguish between the various .Dat exports/loads, which are clearly occuring at separate times in the process chain.
Many thanks! :-)
P.S. Updated script below if anyone wishes to use it:
Sub BefExportToDat(strLoc, strCat, strPer, strTCat, strTPer, strFile)
Dim strF, fso, tf, t, temp, m, miliseconds, strSuf
t = Timer
temp = Int(t)
m = Int((t-temp)*1000)
miliseconds = String(4 - Len(m), "0") & m
strF = "D:\TEST\" & Replace(Time, ":", ".") & "." & miliseconds & "_BefExportToDat"
strSuf = UCase(Left(Right(strFile,6),2))
If strSuf = "-A" Or strSuf = "-B" Or strSuf = "-C" Then
strF = strF & UCase(strSuf) & ".txt"
Else
strF = strF & ".txt"
End If
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set tf = fso.CreateTextFile(strF, True)
tf.WriteLine(strFile)
tf.Close
Set fso = Nothing
End Sub

Hi again,
Helps if I give the correct link ! <br/>The press shift button appears to still work, but the option to start in safe mode from the programs listing of a standard install I do not think exists anymore.
Safe mode will start from a command line, (or a shortcut) and in some circumstances you may need to enter the full path name on a command or shortcut detailed instructions are at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
Remember (at least at this stage) do not make changes when you get the options list, just click on the continue button.
If you think that RealPlayer is causing the problem you could uninstall that for now.
Firefox recent versions are 3.6 4.0 (and 5.0 in beta). There is some debate as to whether creating new profiles or re-installing Firefox is the simplest method of troubleshooting and solving some of these problems, personally I use multiple profiles and multiple versions of Firefox, and tend to forget the required procedures are less than straightforward. For now at least try [[safe mode]] again.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router

Using a single CSS to load balance multiple services

Is it possible to use a single CSS to load balance 3 different services (server farm) ? That mean the CSS need to advertise 3 VIP
I'm thinking of two scenarios:
1 - configure the CSS to use 4 interfaces: 1 to public, 3 to private (each interface will plug-in to a different vlan/server farm)
2 - configure the CSS to use 2 interfaces: 1 to public, 1 to private (all 3 server farms are in the same vlan)
Will both scenarios work ?
Thanks
--Phillip.

Hi Phillip,
both scenarios will work. One CSS can certainly manage more than 3 services! You can even use just one VIP for all traffic, then just create the proper rules to send specific traffic to the corresponding service(s). No need for 3 VIPs.

I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on a new ASUS ASM11BB001O computer equipped with 64-bit Windows 7. I use a "bundle" approach, first loading Photoshop 6, then upgrading with CS upgrade and then CS3 upgrade. The installation goes smoothly until I add PS CS, and then it balks at the "accept" Adobe conditions screen. I have two other (Gateway) computers with Windows 7, 64-bit, on both of which the PS-6, CS-CS3 pathway worked fine. Any thoughts on how to get this working? Thanks

If your goal is to install and activate CS5 there is no need to install anything preceding it. You will only need to have the serial number from the preceding version that you upgrade from (CS3 I guess).

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Use of External tables to load XML data.

Hi,
I have used external table definitions to load various XML files to the database, usually splitting the XML into seperate records - 1 per major element tag, and using PL/SQL to parse out a primary key to store in a relational table with all of the XML relevant to that primary key value stored as an XMLTYPE coumn in a row of the table. This has worked fine for XML with a single major entity (element tag) .
However, I now have an XML file that contains two "major" elements (both children of the root) that I would like to split out and store in seperate tables.
The XML file is of the following basic format:-
<drugs>
<drug>drug 1...</drug>
<drug>drug 2...</drug>
<partners>
<partner>partner 1</partner>
<partner>partner 2</partner>
</partners>
</drugs>
The problem is there are around 18000 elements of the first type, followed by several thousand of the 2nd type. I can create two seperate external tables - one for each element type, but how do I get the external table for the 2nd to ignore all the elements of the first type? My external table definition is :-
CREATE TABLE DRUGBANK_OWNER.DRUGBANK_PARTNERS_XML_EXTERNAL
DRUGBANK_XML CLOB
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
( TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY DRUGBANK_DIR
ACCESS PARAMETERS
( records delimited by "</partner>" SKIP 100000
characterset al32utf8
badfile extlogs:'drugbank_partners_xml.bad'
logfile extlogs:'drugbank_partners_xml.log'
discardfile extlogs:'drugbank_partners_xml.dis'
READSIZE 52428800
fields
drugbank_xml CHAR(50000000) terminated by '</partners>'
LOCATION (DRUGBANK_DIR:'drugbank.xml')
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
PARALLEL ( DEGREE 8 INSTANCES 1 )
NOMONITORING;
The problem is that before the first <partners> element the 1800 or so <drugs> elements cause a data cartrdige error:-
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEFETCH callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04020: found record longer than buffer size supported, 52428800
This happens regardless of the value of the SKIP or the size of the drugbank_xml field.
I have tried using an OR on the "records delimited by" access parameter, to 'delimit by "</partner>" OR "</drug>"', with the intention of filtering out the <drug> elements but this leads to a syntax error.
Anyone ever tried anything similar and got it to work?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Sid.

No, the content inside quotes is spanned across multiple lines....there are line breaks after every html tag.
"What's the error message you are getting?"
Iam not getting any error while selecting from external table , but I am getting tose rows in BAD file and log file has the following entries

Using ACE for proxy server load balancing

Hello groups,
I wanted to know your experiences of using ACE for proxy server load balancing.
I want to load balance to a pool of proxy servers. Note: load-balancing should be based on the HTTP URL (i can't use source or dest. ip address) so that
a certain domain always gets "cached/forwarded" to the same proxy server. I don't really want to put matching
criteria in the configuration (such as /a* to S1, /b* to S2, /c* to S3,etc..), but have this hash calculated automatically.
Can the ACE compute its own hash based on the number of "online" proxy servers ? ie. when 4 servers are online, distribute domains between 1,2,3,4 evenly.
Should server 4 fail, recalculate hash so that the load of S4 gets distributed across the other 3 evenly. Also load-balancing domains of S1 ,S2 and S3 should not change if S4 fails.....
regards,
Geert

This is done with the following predictor command:
Scimitar1/Admin# conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Scimitar1/Admin(config)# serverfarm Proxy
Scimitar1/Admin(config-sfarm-host)# predictor hash ?
address         Configure 'hash address' Predictor algorithms
content         Configure 'hash http content' Predictor algorithms
cookie          Configure 'hash cookie' Predictor algorithms
header          Configure 'hash header' Predictor algorithm
layer4-payload Configure 'hash layer4-payload' Predictor algorithms
url             Configure 'hash url' Predictor algorithm
Scimitar1/Admin(config-sfarm-host)# predictor hash url
It does hash the url and the result takes into account the number of active proxies dynamically.
This command has been designed for this kind of scenario that you describe.

Yes you can ofourse but dont be in idea that logging will be mininal. Loggign will be as per recovery model full. Every thing will be logged. If you are going to use bulk insert task you can consider switching recovery model to Bulk logged but you will not
have option to do point in time recovery.
PS: please dont create duplicate threads
If you read first Note section in below link it clearly states that yes logging will be full and you can use

Not sure of an answer to your basic question, but it may be that you can run a repair (on Windows --> Control Panel>Programs & Features and run the repair on Acrobat). If that fixes the issue, at least temporarily, at least you will not be reinstalling everything -- a real pain.
Next, open Acrobat and go to the Help to run the updates and be sure you are current. On some OSs, the updates are critical.
