Hi John I need your help regarding "Oracle EPM Health check" ?

Hi,
I need your views as we frequently start Hyperion services whenever it goes down (ex Workspace or EPMA or HFM).
These services most of the time after restart does not work properly.
Kindly suggest is it correct way to start only that service which stops or we need to bounce all Hyperion services?
Secondly how to validate my Hyperion Environment if is it working properly.
Version 11.1.1.3
URL check may be OK but sometime URL opens but problem occurs after login.

Thanks John,
I agree with you.
But situation is as we have multiple customers and multiple instances.
case 1: worspace went down ---restarting only workspace services; is it correct as we do mostly?
case 2: EAS and reporting may down---restrting only these two services; is it correct way to resolve issue?
case 3: HFM web services may down: starting IIS, www, http and HFM; is it correct to resolve?
we need to understand our resolution. OR we always go and stop Hyperion and start again Hyperion all services.

  • I need your help regarding Macbook Pro with FCS3 via USB

    Sorry for the double posting, I need your help...
    I am producing an independent TV movie. We are shooting in HDV with a Sony Z5.
    Currently I am using a 2007 iMac (1gb) for the FCS3. I am considering buying a Macbook Pro 15' i7, because I need the portability as well as a WD 1TB portable external drive.
    Just when I am about to buy the machine I started to read all about the USB vs. the Firewire. What should I do? The MBP only have one firewire port...if I use an USB portable external drive means that I won't be able to use FCS3 properly and that buying a MBP will mean spending money in something that I won't be able to make it work properly??
    Thanks for your help!!!!

    Hi there,
    As Patrick said its Firewire hubs you should avoid along with directly connecting your media drive via USB. USB hubs are fine for connecting peripherals (keyboards, tablets, mice etc). directly connecting USB media drives is not for streaming video due to their method of sending data in packets rather than as the continuous stream that firewire provides. Firewire hubs just seem to cause all sorts of headaches to those that have used them, I cant give you a specific reason other than splitting the available FW bandwidth (someone with more knowledge on this will have to chime in), its more just inherited practice.
    cheers

  • Regarding oracle 11g health check

    Hi,
    Does my oracle 11g health check checks the health of oracle 10g? The other way round is definitely not possible. But i was wondering if this were possible?

    What "11g health check" are we talking about?

  • Need urgent help regarding oracle 8.0

    Hi Guys!!
    This is vishal, and i am working as an oracle developer.
    I would appreciate your help if you could help me solving the below
    issue :
    Right now the database on which we are running our applications is
    8.0 version. We have oracle App server on which all of these j2ee
    applications are running.
    basically our client is trying to move large amount of data to a
    new database probably 10G, so my job is to analyse the code and
    do some modifications to the code, give them a solution to upgrade
    it to 10g
    There are like 10 applications running on oracle app server and the
    database has many old tables, and they need a suggestion regarding
    this upgradation/migration.
    And i specifically want to know about the problems faced during the
    upgradation, and how exactly is the upgradation done(step -by -step
    procedure), because i also have to take care of the data which
    has been stored from many years.
    thanks,
    Vishal

    I find these informations in the Upgrade Guide (upgrading of database and of application programs):
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/toc.htm
    Note: direct upgrade from 8.0 to 10g is not supported using tools like DBUA (Database Upgrade Assistant).

  • Need your help regarding Conditional Chart Data formatting

    I have just started using BI, so I am sorry if what I am asking is a FAQ or a very simple question.
    I have a Line Bar Combo chart whose bars I have colored differently according to some conditions. When I drill down from a year/month series to the day of a particular month, though, the conditional formatting is lost.
    http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/5677/biimage.jpg
    Can anyone suggest me if I am missing something in the program options or if there is any workaround to this behavior?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Letz say you have colored the year black when it is 2008 and you display it in the graph and while you drill down from year to quarter in the back ground an adiitional column will be added (Quarter) and the conditional formatting will be still there for the year but will be very small(like a dot) as your quarter is exposed on the X axis.
    The deeper you drill the wider your x-axis will be and the smaller your formatting looks.
    You cant controll the drill. It will mimic what is present in the compound layout set up at the parent level.If you need to avoid multiple columns appearing on your X-axis and do some changes to your graphs then you need to navigate
    instead of drill. if the report is 3 levels deep then it has to be 3 diff reports(maintenance will be high)
    It will be seemless to the users whether you navigate or drill. Just a suggestion. There are some things which we need to compromise :)
    Thanks

  • Need your help on performance issue please

    Hello everyone!
    I need your help to understand an effect I notice with a Thread class I built. I currently work on enhancement of my application Playlist Editor (see http://www.lightdev.com/page74.htm) and a new release will be available soon.
    Among other extensions the new release will have a title filter function which is based on audio data that is recursively read from ID3 tags of files found in a given root directory. The data collection is done by a CollectionThread class which reads into a data model class AudioDataModel and the entire process works fine, no problem with that.
    However, when my application is started for the first time the CollectionThread runs approximately 3 minutes to collect data from approximately 4300 audio files on an Intel Pentium M 1,4 GHz, 512 MB RAM, Windows XP SP2. When the application is shut down and started again, it takes only a few seconds to do the same task for all subsequent launches.
    I already tried to start the application with java option -Xms40m to increase initial heap size. This increases performance in general but the effect is still the same, i.e. first run lasts significantly longer than subsequent runs.
    I also tried to build a pool mechanism which creates many empty objects in the data model and then releases them to contain the actual data at is being read in but this did not lead to better performance.
    It must have to do with how Java (or Windows?) allocates and caches memory. I wonder whether there is a way to pre-allocate memory or if there are any other ideas to improve performance so that the process always only takes seconds instead of minutes?
    I attach the key classes to this message. Any help or ideas is much appreciated!
    Thanks a lot a best regards
    Ulrich
    PS: You can use the news subscription service at
    http://www.lightdev.com/dynTemplate.php4?id=80&dynPage=subscribe.php4 to be informed when the new release of Playlist Editor is available.
    All classes posted here do not need debugging, they already have proven to run error free. The classes are only posted for information for the interested reader - no need to go through all the stuff in detail - only if it interests you.
    My application calls class CollectionThread wich is a subclass of InfoThread. CollectionThread recursively goes through a directory and file structure and stores found ID3 tag information in instances of class ID3v11Tag which in turn gets stored in one instance of class AudioDataModel. All classes are shown below.
    This is the mentioned CollectionThread

    Hi Franck,
    thank you, mate. I did what you suggested (changed class attached) but that did not change the mentioned behaviour.
    The first run is approximately 75 seconds with Java option -Xms40m and approx. double without, the second run and all subsequent runs are only 2-3 seconds each (!!!) even when terminating and re-starting the application between thread runs.
    I'm pretty clueless about that, any more help on this anyone?
    Thanks a lot and best regards
    Ulrich
    PS: BTW, I forgot to post the class that is filled with data by class CollectionThread, so here it is

  • Anybody who can help me? I really need your help

    I've tried to execute J2ee tutorial examples.
    I don't know why this sample didn't execute...I've already finished to set up J2EE and enviornment variables.
    I was trying this part from j2ee tutorial titled as "Packing Web modules".
    Whenever I type "asant create-war" to make web modules in command window. I always got error.
    Packaging Web Modules(From J2ee tutorial for your information)
    A web module must be packaged into a WAR in certain deployment scenarios and whenever you want to distribute the web module. You package a web module into a WAR using the Application Server deploytool utility, by executing the jar command in a directory laid out in the format of a web module, or by using the asant utility. This tutorial allows you to use use either the first or the third approach. To build the hello1 application, follow these steps:
    In a terminal window, go to <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/hello1/.
    Run asant build. This target will spawn any necessary compilations and will copy files to the <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/hello1/build/ directory.
    To package the application into a WAR named hello1.war using asant, use the following command:
    asant create-war
    This command uses web.xml and sun-web.xml files in the <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/hello1 directory.
    To learn how to configure this web application, package the application using deploytool by following these steps:
    Start deploytool.
    Create a web application called hello1 by running the New Web Component wizard. Select FileNewWeb Component.
    In the New Web Component wizard:
    Select the Create New Stand-Alone WAR Module radio button.
    In the WAR File field, enter <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/hello1/hello1.war. The WAR Display Name field will show hello1.
    In the Context Root field, enter /hello1.
    Click Edit Contents to add the content files.
    In the Edit Contents dialog box, navigate to <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/hello1/build/. Select duke.waving.gif, index.jsp, and response.jsp and click Add. Click OK.
    Click Next.
    Select the No Component radio button and click Next.
    Click Finish.
    Select FileSave.
    A sample hello1.war is provided in <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/web/provided-wars/. To open this WAR with deploytool, follow these steps:
    Select FileOpen.
    Navigate to the provided-wars directory.
    Select the WAR.
    Click Open Module.
    I guess this step is for checking my system about setup information. I not sure how to change it.

    Thank you in advance.

    ok,
    First of all make sure your tutorial folder is installed from the root:
    C:\javaeetutorial5
    or
    D:\javaeetutorial5
    it makes things so simple.
    Secondly:
    set your jee tutorial home
    JAVAEE.TUTORIAL.HOME =
    C:/javaeetutorial5
    Thirdly: check in:
    C:\javaeetutorial5\examples\bp-project
    make a copy of the build.properties.sample save it as build.propropties, as a property file,
    edit the properties file as in:
    build.properties
    As follows:
    # uncomment the property javaee.home, and add the path
    # to your GlassFish Java EE 5 SDK installation
    javaee.home=c:/Sun/SDK
    javaee.tutorial.home=c:/javaeetutorial5
    # Uncomment the property j2ee.server.username,
    # and replace the administrator username of the app-server
    javaee.server.username=admin
    # Uncomment the property j2ee.server.passwordfile,
    # and replace the following line to point to a file that
    # contains the admin password for your app-server.
    # The file should contain the password in the following line:
    AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin1234and so fourth. Some of the settings as the application server name is all done for you
    and then test it again.
    Take care of editing the property file. It can give you headache.
    Note also that this is for application server 9.1 - JEE5.

  • I'm lost when I try to figure out what exaclty is Java.... I need your help

    Hi, I know that java is OOP, Multiplatform, etc, etc...
    But when I try to look on google for jobs about java or "learn Java" what "Should I know in java"... I always found... whebshpere, oracle, linux, jboss, glassfish, opensolaris, struts, hibernate, spring, eclipse, netbeans, jidea, and so on!!!...
    I'm lost... I will be sincere ...
    I've started thank for a friend in a world of programming with .NET (ASP.NET SQL .NET Silverlight Windows Server) and was good BUT i feel inside that I prefer Java.
    I don't know why but with java I feel free, i think will be a good technology for a long time.
    But some things make my crazy.
    I cant found a fast path or the right path without getting mess. Like I posted above.
    So I need your help, if You are an advance programmer... tell what Should I learn ( essencially ) to get a good job. Oracle + Java ? linux + oracle + java? websphere + java? eclipse or netbeans?? all thouse things are awesome... but I am a HUMAN... I can't learn thouse all things and less in little time.... I just want to have a good preparation for to start to look a job in early time.
    I look forward yours answers.
    Thanks community.

I know great developers that never have written a single SQL statement, and I'm always trying to stay away from everything that has a web interface :)
    Decide what you want to do at work, and then figure out what technologies you need to know.

  • Some question about 9iAs R1.2.2 & R2, need your help:

    Some question about 9iAs R1.2.2 & R2, need your help:
    Since 2000, we has used 9iAS Core (R1.2.2) to publish our website. The platform is Suns Solaris (SPARC). The database is Oracle 8i. But there are so many questions:
    1.     The Web Cache cant be installed well
    2.     The web pages use JSP to query database with SQL show errors when we refresh the page a few times. The error will disappear after restarting the 9iAS or refreshing the page again. On the other hand, the same pages dont show error on resin. The error is java.sql.SQLException : Closed Connection: next. I supposed that the connection of database has some hidden troubles, but I can find it, could you give me some advice.
    Now I have installed 9iAS R2, But when I visited the manage page, I found that a password is needed to visit the web cache manage page. I dont think I have set the password, and then I cant control the web cache. I want to know is a default password occurred? If not, what is the password.

    The default password for Web Cache is: administrator
    See walkthrough on the sample code page: http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/ias/content.html

    i need your help 2 days a go i brought polanda number it was working good now its not working i dont no why plz could you help me this is my phone number
    [removed for privacy and security] which i brought

    Hi, Gaza898, and welcome to the Community,
    We here in the Community do not have the tools to diagnose and rectify problems with Skype Numbers, however Skype Customer Service does.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service    Skype is aware of lingering website issues. Temporarily enabling scripts, pop-up dialog boxes, and disabling plug-ins which could prohibit pop-ups may help get past website problems.
    If you still experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented.
    Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.
    Last and not least, when you reach the last step of the process, remember to click on the "Start Chat" link when you are provided the choice of visiting the Community or starting an instant message chat with a customer service agent.

  • I need your help -- ORA-00600

    Hello
    I need your help ^^*
    Windows 2000 Server
    Resin 2.0.1
    jdk 1.3.1
    connect to Oracle 9.2.x using jdbc driver : classes12.jar <-- it is from oracle9i
    When I excute a query(rs = pstmt.executeQuery()) I got a error message from
    oracle9i
    --> java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [ttcgcshnd-
    1], [0], [], [], [], [], [], []
    This problem is not happed at Oracle8i(8.1.6) <-- I think a code is not problem.
    When I tested the code(same code) at another server ( Windows 2000 Server,Resin
    2.0.5 ,jdk 1.4.0,j2ee 1.3,connect to Oracle 9.2.x,jdbc driver : classes12.jar ),
    the error message is not happened.
    I'd like to know that it is jdk or resin version's problem or not And how can I
    solve the problem.
    Have a nice day ^^*

    Oracle documentation read:
    ORA-00600 internal error code, arguments: [string], [string], [string], [string], [string], [string], [string], [string]
    Cause: This is the generic internal error number for Oracle program exceptions. It indicates that a process has encountered a low-level, unexpected condition. Causes of this message include:
    timeouts
    file corruption
    failed data checks in memory
    hardware, memory, or I/O errors
    incorrectly restored files
    The first argument is the internal message number. Other arguments are various numbers, names, and character strings. The numbers may change meanings between different versions of Oracle.
    Action: Report this error to Oracle Customer Support after gathering the following information:
    events that led up to the error
    the operations that were attempted that led to the error
    the conditions of the operating system and databases at the time of the error
    any unusual circumstances that occurred before receiving the ORA-00600 message
    contents of any trace files generated by the error
    the relevant portions of the Alter files
