How to Keep Alive a specific HFM application

My PRD landscape has 2-3 applications. Whenever any application loads for the first time in the memory, it takes quite some time before it is loaded. Once the application is loaded, the response times are pretty quick and acceptable.
During specific parts of the day / month, a specific application becomes active. During this time, other applications may or may not be used, but one specific application is definitely used. I want to keep this application's cubes loaded in the RAM, so that response times are quick, whenever the user needs it - whether for the first time or otherwise.
How to keep alive a specific application's cubes alive and loaded in RAM? I am not looking for general solution like setting the "FM Service" to Automatic (currently it is set Manual) - setting this to Automatic, will affect all applications. However, I am looking for a specific application at a specific period of time.
I am ok with a custom solution if required. Let me know, what are my options.

I think you are looking for an inappropriate solution to your problem. Most HFM applications take a few seconds to start up. If your application takes such a long time to start up you really need to examine the root cause. Start by removing the Sub NoInput and Sub Input routines in your rules to see if this is the reason the application takes so long to start.
If the removal of those routines does not significantly change the startup time, look through the event logs for possible causes. It is possible you have a connection problem with the Oracle database for example, or you have an environment configuration problem where the HFM application servers have a very slow connection to the database server, or possibly the database server performs poorly.
I strongly suggest you investigate these root casues first before trying to make HFM behave in a non-standard way. Certainly you can start the HFM Management Service, which will start all of your HFM applications and keep them all up and running. This approach does not allow the applications to shut down on their own though. Only use this if you have exchausted your investigations (as I suggsted above).

How to keep alive a session in Web Services?

I have to do my project, that will be including some following features:
1. Login to Application through Web Services method. For example:
http://mydomain.com/web-services/Login?WSDL
2. After logging in, use mySms method to send message to Cellphone through Web Services! For example:
http://mydomain.com/web-services/mySms?WSDL
My questions are:
1. How can I keep alive the session after logging in the application in Web Services? In Web, I can use "Session".
2. If someone has not logged in the Application, he/she could not use mySms method for sending Sms. How can I do that?
3. I know, when I invoke a Web Services, one JavaBean has been called, and this bean is persistence with his own states. It means, if I set value to parameters of this bean, these values are persistence for invoked methods by other persons.
For example:
mySms bean has a private field "jid" inited with NULL value.
Person A invoked mySms.
Then, A set jid of mySms to value "A".
Person B invoked mySms. B got jid value. He receive the result value is "A".
The question is, how can I set mySms bean so that mySms bean is not persistence?
Thanks many!

Hi,
I can right away answer your FIRST Question.
Since WebServices are PURELY Based on SOAP which is in tern based on HTTP, they rely on a Stateless protocol.
I am sure you know that the HTTP is the STATELESS Protocol and so you can not maintain Session and so EACH Http REQUEST is considered as a SEPERATE REQUEST.
Now, still you want to maintain the Session in WebServices,
The simple answer is PASSING PARAMETERS.
Just Maintain your Session on Client (If you are using JSPs or Servlets to CAll WEBSERVICES then maintain Session through your HTTPSession) and each time you Invoke WebService PASS ON REQUIRED Parameters.
This Approach is Exactly like your URL REWriting OR your Parameters Passing through QUERY STRINGS.
I hope you got what I am saying!
Take care,

How to Query/Lookup Data Target HFM Application in FDMEE Import / Validation Step

Hi Experts,
We are using FDMEE 11.1.2.3.500 to load 2 sets of Flat Files - ICP Trial Balances and Non-ICP Trial Balances. The ICP Trial Balances will be loaded to Target HFM Application first using FDMEE and then the remaining Non-ICP Trial balances Load would follow
We have a complex business requirement wherin we want to check if the Non-ICP Trial Balances for a given ENTITY, ACCOUNT, [ICP None] combination in the Trial Balance File matches the already loaded ICP Trial Balances for ENTITY, ACCOUNT, [ICP Total]. If it matches then this record has to be skipped from our data load else it has to be loaded. To elaborate with an example:
                                                              Entity    Account     ICP              Amount
File 1 (ICS_TB.csv) - Record 1 ->          E1          A1           P1                  100
File 1 (ICB_TB.csv) - Record 2 ->          E1          A1           P2                  300
Above File Gets Loaded First
File 2 (Non_ICP_TB) - Record 1->          E1          A1          [ICP None]      400    (Record to be skipped - It matches the above already loaded File)
Is it possible to validate this during Import or Validate Step in FDMEE? if yes, can you please throw some light on how this can be done?
Thanks!

As far as I am aware there is no seperate Java API reference manual for FDMEE, you are limited to the information available in the Admin Guide for now. If you feel that it is not comprehensive enough perhaps you could raise a ticket or enhancement request via Oracle Support.
The sysntax for the statement should be dmAPI.executeDML(String query,Object[] parameters) according to the AG, I wouldn't put 100% trust in that as it can often be incorrect, but give it a try. Ensure the 2nd parameter is a Jython list.
I don't think the method supports passing a Stored Procedure and there doesn't appear to be another native API method listed that would do that. You could initiate the connection using standard Python or Java libraries and then use a cursor and prepared statements to execute the sql or the callproc method of the Python DB API

How to keep alive RS232 connection

Hello everyone. I have a problem with RS232 communication. To activate the connection I have to send the string "RS232", then to keep it alive I have to send every second CR, but in the meantime, I must be able to send other character strings without delay on the same port (COM7). Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

RS232 standard does not require by itself to be kept alive someway, so I suppose is your remote device that requires it.
In every case, you could create a 1-sec timer and have its callback send CR periodically over the serial port.
To avoid conflicts between this task and the rest of the application you could use a lock: basically, after creating the lock, each function that wants to access the serial port must call CmtGetLock (), operate on the port and call CmtReleaseLock () afterwards. If the lock is owned by another function, other functions trying to get access are frozen waiting for the lock, so you must be careful in designing com-related function so that they are fast. If you do not want to have some function be blocked while waiting for the lock you can use CmtTryToGetLock instead of CmtGetLock. A few informations on locks can be found in this tutorial as well as in this chapter of the Programmer reference.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

TCP KEEP ALIVE

Hello we have a problem with TCP/IP keep settings.
We have an apllication that after a while (2 hours) doesnt keep its connection,And after that we are taking of timeouts and disconnection from this application.We saw some threads that there a registery TCP/KEEP ALIVE,we already change this registery but
it doesnt help still.Could it be any other solution?Or advice?

I want to configure it to a lower value so that the connection is not closed by routers/firewalls assuming the connection to be idle.For all TCP clients and servers?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\KeepAliveTime 30000 30 seconds is an absurdly low value. Routers and firewalls will typically close connections after an hour, if at all. So setting it to 30 minutes should be adequate. Setting it as low as you have only exposes you to more network problems: if someone has a cable out for 30 seconds you will get disconnected, even if the cable was put back after 31 seconds and even if your application doesn't actually exchange data every 30 seconds. Don't do this.
Is there a standard way in which the keep alive time can be configured on all OS platforms? No.
If not, is this a standard way of changing keep alive time for java applications on windows?The registry keys might differ from version to version. It's a Windows question, not a Java question.
Is it necessary that the machine be restarted on changing keep alive time or is there a specific time by which the new keep alive time would be picked up during run time or on restarting the java application?Another Windows question.
But I would review your requirement. More likely you should be building application pings into the applications that actually need them.

Document Type specific to Application Type

Dear All,
Can any one guide me how to configure Document Type specific to Application Type in DMS.
What I mean, Doc Type 'DRW' should be used only ACAD Drawings, user should not able to attach or check in word document to it.
same time Doc Type 'DOC' should be used only word document , user should not able to attach or check in ACAD Drawings to it.
Thanks & Rgds,

Hi Sukan,
Go to Tcode "DC10" i.e. Define Document types
here you find the two fields "Def WS Appl." and "Dis WS applic."
these two fields are for specifying the Application you need for a particular document types.
so when you try to create a DIR and attach the Original by create or open then
by default you see the application what you have set in the DC10 for that particular document type but can be changed.
So you need to put a check on field "DAPPL" i.e. Authorization check through Object "C_DRAW_DOK"[/i]

HFM Web Sever Configuration--Keep Alive and Session Time Out Optimal Config

We recently implemented an HFM 9.3.1 environment. We are using Windows 2003 Enterprise SP2 servers with IIS6. We have two HFM Web servers connecting to an application cluster with two application servers in the cluster. We were getting some errors when trying to unlock HFM cells in Workspace, but we were able to perform the functions fine on the application using the WIN32 client.
I opened a ticket with support and they recommended modifying the subcontext.properties file located in %HYPERION_HOME%\deployments\WebLogic9\servers\Workspace\webapps\workspace\conf. They recommended changing the following settings:
#KeepAliveInterval=30
#SessionTimeout=60
From what I understand, these settings are for the communication between the HFM Web Servers and the application cluster servers. I'm wondering how changing these settings may affect our environment. Are there negative effects and/or trade-offs for changing these settings? Is there a recommended threshold or maximum value?

Hi Dinesh,
This cannot be achieved without development enhancements to some standard SAP framework component, to introduce a "keep-alive" concept. If you are using a CMS for CTI or email integration, you need to ensure it supports keeping the communications session alive also.
Sincerely,

How to keep the connection alive?

Hello! Happy new year!
I have to write an HTTP server that comunicates with many clients in the same time,but keeps the connection with a client open if there the corresponding header is Keep-Alive. I have used threads,and I've tested my program in the following way: I've requested the one page of the site and then I've followed a link from that page. I expected that the broowser and the server talk to the same thread every time,but it seems that they don't. The code I've written is:
//HTTPServer class
ServerSocket serverSocket = null;
 boolean listening = true;
 try {
 serverSocket = new ServerSocket(80);
 } catch (IOException e) {
 System.err.println("Could not listen on port: 80.");
 System.exit(-1);
 while (listening)
 new HTTPMultiServerThread(serverSocket.accept()).start();
//HTTPMultiServerThread
public void run() {
 // System.out.println(socket.toString());
 try {
while(!serverSocket.isClosed())){
 DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
 DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream( socket.getInputStream());
 int nrBytes = in.available();
 if(nrBytes > 0){
 byte[] bytes = new byte[nrBytes];
 in.read(bytes);
 System.out.println("Procesez mesajul:" + nrBytes + new String(bytes));
 HTTPMessage processedMess = new HTTPMessage(bytes).processMessage();
 System.out.println("Inchid conexiunea.");
 log("log.txt", new HTTPMessage(bytes).getStatusLine() + " " + new Data().getCurrentTime());
 //send the message
out.write(processedMess.getBytes(),0,processedMess.getBytes().length);
 /* inchid conexiunea
 else{
 String ret = new String("HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error\n");
 ret += "Host: cristi\n";
 ret += "Date: " + new Data().getCurrentTime()+"\r\n";
 ret += "\r\n";
 ret += "<html><body>HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Serve Error </body><html>\r\n";
 out.write(ret.getBytes());
 out.close();
 in.close();
 if(new HTTPMessage(bytes).getHeaderValue("Connection").equals("Close"))
 socket.close();
 }//end while
 } catch (IOException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 }I would also like to know how many clients are waiting to be served,in order to develop statistics about the server response time. 10X

hi
same to u .
i think what i get from ur code that ....
use some vector at the server side and whenever any client is connected (offcourse first time or not (depend on u !!)) create an object corresponding(generally created by server for every client) ..
save this in the vector .. and pass it the size of vector to the client with the response .
may this help u .

How to keep applet's JFrame alive as browser's closed or, goes to other URL

My applet has a JFrame that pops up when the applet is downloaded. Right now, if the browser goes to a different page or, if it is closed, the frame disappears.
I would like to know how to keep the frame alive.
Thanks.

These comments applies to using the Applet PlugIn.
One annoying thing about using the PlugIn is that every time you browse from your applet's page and return, it is destroyed and reinstantiated and then init'ed instead of just stop and start applied on the same applet object. One solution to maintaining state across multiple instances is to use static data. Here is an example that does this with a JFrame, since that is what the poster mentioned, although I usually just do this for the UI on the web page itself.
This doesn't keep the frame visible when off the web page, but that seems to go against basic applet behavior.
--Nax
public class Applet1 extends JApplet
{     private static JTextArea ui = new JTextArea();
     public void init()
     {     JFrame f = new JFrame("example");
          JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(ui);
          f.getContentPane().add(sp);
          f.setSize(200,200);
          f.setVisible(true);
}

How to delete HFM Application Tables in SQL

Hi Gurus
1.How to delete HFM Application Tables in SQL?
Manually its deleting but each application having 120-150 tables? how to do this in a single shot?
I have deleted few applications using workspace/ shared services, but still its showing under HFM server under SQL Tables.
Please help me
regards
Smilee

Hi Smilee,
1. If the application can be opened in Financial Management web interface, go to the Manage Taskflows module and make sure that no taskflows still exist for this application. Delete any existing taskflows.
2. If the application exists in Shared Services, right click on the application in Shared Services and try to delete the application from there
3. Stop Hyperion Shared Services and all Financial Management Windows processes and take backups of the relational database schemas of both.
4. Check the relational database repository of Hyperion Shared Services, in the table "ces_apps" and make sure that there are no more rows containing the appname "EXAMPLE". If row still exists you should seek help from Oracle Global Software Support to clean up the Hyperion Shared Services before proceeding.
5. It is possible to remove all content for a deleted application from the Financial Management relational database. Extreme care should be taken when manually manipulating database tables as permanent damage can be done to the intended application and other applications if the wrong content is deleted.
a) Begin by deleting all tables, indexes, sequences and package objects that begin with the application name
b) Delete any tables beginning HSV_appname_xxxxxx
c) Delete any rows from the HSX_CLUSTER_xxxxx tables referring to the application.
d) Delete any rows from the HSV_ACTIVITY_KILL_USERS, HSV_ACTIVITY_NO_ACCESS, HSV_ACTIVITY_SESSIONS and HSV_ACTIVITY_USERS and HSV_USERS_ON_SYSTEM that refer to the application name.
d) Delete the row containing name of the application from the HSX_DATASOURCES table.
6. The next time all the Hyperion services are started again, the application should be safely removed from Windows client.
You can contact your DBA to write a query on how to delete it.
Hope this helps,
Thank you,
Charles Babu J

How many years do you typically setup in an HFM Application

This is more of a survey...
How many years do you typically setup in your HFM applications? Of this total, how many of these years are populated with historical data?

Originally we did 15/5. We are reimplementing with 15/1 and may add 2 more years of history data soon after launch.

How to automatically login to apex and run a specific page / application

Hi all.
I'd like to know if there is a way of automatically login to apex and run a specific page / application. I mean, invoke browser and pass the necessary information to login (not public user) and run a specific application( ina secure way if possible).
Thanks in advance ...!

Hi,
Well, as a very crude test you can set your authentication scheme to be Application Express Authenticationand define some users in Apex. Then create a before header login process on the login page (101) to automatically logon containing:
apex_authentication.login(
p_username => :P101_USERNAME,
p_password => :P101_PASSWORD );
:P101_PASSWORD := NULL;conditional on P101_PASSWORD is not null.
Then you can login by specifying your username and password in the URL e.g.
f?p=YOURAPP:LOGIN:::::P101_USERNAME,P101_PASSWORD:username,password

How do I change the http connection type from close to keep-alive

I am using a browser that appears as though it needs a connection type of keep-alive. When a page is requested the server sends back a connection type of close. It appears images are not requested from the server when this connection type is requested.

Some older web server provides inaccurate content-length information.If the content length value is less than the amount of data,the web server treats the difference as a new request, this creates problem with iplanet Web Server.
If you are using browser with HTTP1.1 enabled, choose the option to enable it manually and try once again by posting the request.
Hope it helps.
