How to set up DEV, TEST and PROD environment?

We have used BI publisher Enterprise (standalone), Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1. Our admin set up DEV, TEST and PROD environment based on the folder. For example, there is DEV folder, TEST folder and PROD folder. Developer is developing reports under DEV folder. Under TEST and PROD folder, there are many sub-folder based on the login user role. Sometimes a report has to be assigned to a multiple sub-folder under PROD. So our admin create symbolic links in the Linux box which BI server is located. That way, if a report is updated, there is no need to update the report in all sub-folder.
The issue I have is we are not allowed to touch any files under TEST/PROD folder. Only admin will move the report from DEV folder to TEST/PROD folder because those links admin created might be broken. However, as a developer, we still have permission to delete/rename/copy report under those restricted folders. Yesterday one report under PROD has been renamed by a developer. And admin complains because the links he has created not working anymore. Just wonder if admin doesn't allow developers to touch the reports under those folders, is there a way to remove the write permission on those folders? Also do you think this is a good practice to set up DEV, TESDT and PROD environment? Any input will be greatly appreciated.

How to create Dev, Test and UAT environment of OAS 10g on single Linux box

Hi
According to Paul's forms/reports installation thread, i installed standalone versions of Forms & Reports (10.1.2.0.2)services on Linux suse 9. And it is working fine.
Now my next requirement is that i want to create three environment on my Linux box dev, test and UAT. this one which i have created before i am using that environment as dev.
Kindly provide me some direction that how can i create test and UAT environment on same machine which should point to different source files and databses.
1. Do i need to install again standalone forms/reports services twice? if yes then how can i access them?
2. Is there any setting in existing OAS configuration which can divert me to different sources and databases. i saw something like this somewhere
http://oas.com:7777/forms90/f90servlet?config=UAT&userid=cg_am2/training@tardist
bla bla bla.
Please help.

Hi
Yes if your server has the resources (CPU and memory) of doing so the best thing to do would be to install Dev , Test and UAT in three different ORACLE_HOMES with different port numbers for the Oracle HTTP Server to listen on. There is however a non-technical point to install the UAT environment on a seperate box or to do the UAT testing when Dev and Test processes are not running otherwise this will blur the results of the UAT tests. Create different environment files to source these installations. You could even install three separate standalone webcaches in their own ORACLE_HOME in front of these environments. Keepin mind though that it would be better for availability, ease of management it would be better to install your environments on separate boxes. The config=UAT in the URL points to a forms service for an application called UAT I guess. Unless you have only one application in all the environments you could create forms applications in one ORACLE_HOME, but you would end up with just one environment instead of three. Going for the option where you install the environments on different boxes will save you a lot of headaches.

Dunning report difference in dev,testing and prod server in sap

Hi all..
we are facing a problem while executing the tcode f150 in dev,tsting and production server.
while giving the same run on and identification,the different parameters are coming and the status is geting changed.
in ker,the process is getting compelted,in testing the process is getting sceduled,complete but getting the status as"process completed but job deleted".
and in production,the status like testing server is coming but some tabs(from the too bar where delete,etc lies)are not getting to see,its not showing up.
please tell me if we can check it through some tcodes,or eliminate the eorr.
we are not able to locate the cause behind.thanks in adv.

Hi chandu,
In my previous Organisation we got exactly the same landscape for BW as you described.BCS(BAYER COPSCIENCE LTD) operates a BW System Landscape with one centralized Global Development System and three regional Quality Assurance and Production Systems located in Europe, Asia Pacific and Americas. This Landscape is to ensure consistent data models to be available in all regional systems as well as to minimize development efforts and make use of respective synergies.
This is perfectly working for BCS ,and I think, this is the most approriate way of handling of resources.

How dev, QA and producation environment would be organized in InfoView

Hi,
Please let me know about following things
1. How Dev, QA and Producation environment would be organized in InfoView
2. How to navigate among Dev, QA and Producation environment in InfoView
3. While login , can we only login for production environment
Regards,
Manjunath

You can definitely have three different data sources (DEV, QA, Prod) leveraged by your single environment. This would be just for reporting data sources though, and not the CMS database itself.
Reports would be associated with the different data sources depending on the stage of development, and would be accordingly stored in one of three folder trees set up in your single environment. Then access to the trees would be controlled by security set in the CMC.
Development would take place in the /DEV folder tree, and it would then be moved to the /QA tree for testing, and ultimately the production tree for consumption. Just keep in mind that when you are updating content in the different trees (vs. creating new content) that you will need to overwrite existing content in the trees if you wish to preserve the instance history and CUID (which may be referenced in openDocument links, for example).

ODI Objects Migration from Dev to Test and Prod Enviornments

Hi ,
Can someone please advise the order of the steps that have to be followed for ODI code migration form Development to Test and Prod Environments ?
Below are the Details ,
ODI Version : 11.1.1.6.0
Development Environment : 1 Master Repository (M1) and 1 Work Repository
Test Environment : 1 Master Repository (M2) and 1 Execution Repository
Prod Environment : 1 Master Repository ( M2) and 1 Execution Repository
Test and Prod environments are on the same master Repository.
Thank you.

Thanks for your prompt response !!!
"If they are not in sync, import models, datastores, topology first & then import interfaces/projects"
Do we import Models, data stores ? Since they are execution repositories we can only import scenarios right.

In SAP BW landscape we should have separate servers for DEV, QA and PROD

Hi all,
In SAP BW system landscape we should have separate servers for DEV, QA and PROD.
whether one server is enough for DEV and we can use virtual servers to QA & PROD?

How to set value for trim and bleed using jsx script?

I have tried using bleedoffsetRect but somehow it is not working. Can anybody please help me on how to set value for trim and bleed using jsx script? Any example will be highly appreciated.
Following is the code I am trying with:
var _saveName = new File ( root_path +_strFileName+".pdf");
    var _saveOpts = new PDFSaveOptions();
    _saveOpts.printerResolution = 300;
    var bleedarray = new Array();
     bleedarray[0] =9.00;
     bleedarray[1]=9.00;
     bleedarray[2]=9.00;
     bleedarray[3]=9.00;
    _saveOpts.bleedOffsetRect = bleedarray;

I would expect although I've not actually tried this for the bleed off set box to be larger than the artbaord and the first two values to be negative or 0…
var bleedarray = new Array(-9,-9,artboard.width+9,artboard.height+9);
Where 'artboard.width' & 'artboard.height' you will have calculated from your file. An Array(9,9,9,9); would not constitute any boxes bounds.

How to set a minimum width and height for a stage or scene?

Hello,
Does anyone how to set a minimum width and height for a stage or scene?
I tried listening for width/height property value changes and then adjust the width/height if necessary, but that causes unpleasant flickering of the window.
In JavaFX 2.1 beta SDK for Mac OS, the Stage class has setMinWidth() and setMinHeight() functions which work very well.
I'm wondering what's the equivalent way to do that when using the FX SDK for Windows.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.

I was wondering how to enforce a minimum stage size with JavaFX 2.0.3.The same flickering way you are currently doing it. See: http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-15200 "Need a way to set the minimum size of a window"

Query Comparison in DEV, QA and PROD

Hi,
Is there any way to compare the queries in DEV, QA and PROD to make sure that all the boxes have all the queries (provided we have followed the system landscape like transporting from DEV to all other two).
If not (this is happenning most of the time, because users are creating queries directly in PROD), we have to compare each and every query against the particular Data target in all the three environment.
We want to have a control in such a way that all queries are only created in DEV by the users and we will transport to QA and PROD. Once after making sync between landscape, we will restrict the access to the users to create directly in PROD.
Please help urgently.
Thanks,
David

Hi,
Use S_RS_COMP and S_RS_COMP1 for BEx security and specifically for Query use S_QUERY.

OWB10gR2 : One Repository and Multiple Enviroments(Dev , QA and Prod)

Hi All,
In 10gR1 , Runtime repository and Design repository used to be 2 different schemas. Because of this , we can simply have one repository in development and deploy the mappings into QA and Prod.
In R2 , runtime and design objects are present in a single repository. Do we need to install separate repository for each of the environments(Dev, QA and Prod) or is there a way to manage multiple envs without multiple repositories?
Thanks in Advance
Mallee

Hello Malle,
We are in a similar situation so our setub looks something like this.
We have a database which serves the purpose of design repository. Let's call it owbdev.
We have three target databases (data warehouse). Let's call them whdev, whqa, whprd.
In the db owbdev we configured an owb user (as owner of the repository) and various other users (as developers).
In whdev, whqa and whprd we did the same configuration except this time, we called the repository owner in each of these target databases, owbrun. This will be what we call in R2 our control center.
Then we deploy from owbdev to any of the three targets after having setup the appropriate locations and control center configurations in owbdev.
If there is a better way to do things I'm open to any and all suggestions.
Mike

Data mismatch in Test and Prod environments

Hi,
we have a query in Test and Prod environments.this query is not giving same result both for Test and production. Please have a look and share your thoughts.
Select D1.C3,D1.C21,D2.C3,D2.C21
from
(select
sum(F.X_SALES_DEDUCTION_ALLOC_AMT)as C3,
O.Customer_num as C21
from
ESA_W_ORG_D O,
ESA_W_DAY_D D ,
ESA_W_SALES_INVOICE_LINE_F F
where
O.ROW_WID = F.CUSTOMER_WID
and D.ROW_WID = F.INVOICED_ON_DT_WID
and D.PER_NAME_FSCL_MNTH = '2012 / 12'
group by O.Customer_num)D1,
(select
sum(F.X_SALES_DEDUCTION_ALLOC_AMT)AS c3,
O.Customer_num as C21
from
Sa.W_ORG_D@STPRD O,
Sa.W_DAY_D@STPRD D ,
Sa.W_SALES_INVOICE_LINE_F@STPRD F
where
O.ROW_WID = F.CUSTOMER_WID
and D.ROW_WID = F.INVOICED_ON_DT_WID
and D.PER_NAME_FSCL_MNTH = '2012 / 12'
group by O.Customer_num)D2
where
D1.C21=D2.C21
and D1.C3<>D2.C3;I have done the following steps:
1. created one temporary table and searched for duplicate records because if any duplicates found am planning to delete those records. but didn't find any duplicates. searched for common column values using equi join condition. are there any possibilities in data mismatch apart from this?
2. this query is taking around 45 minutes to retrieve the output. I want to increase the performance of the query. so created Unique on 5 columns. but still taking the same time.
so uing ALL_ROW HINT and ran the query but still it's taking the same time.
so suggest me any thing needs to add to increase the performance?
appreciate your support.
Thanks.

If you can create a temporary database link between the two environments use DBMS_RECTIFIER_DIFF or DBMS_COMPARISON to compare the two tables' contents.

VM Specs to set up the QA and Prod

Hi,
Can any one please help me in setting up VM with hardware and software configurations to set up the QA and Prod.
i need VM Specs (hardware and software configurations ) to set up the QA and Prod?
Regards, Aboorva Raja R Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help.

The suggested hardware spec is as follows:
A computer with an Intel Pentium-compatible CPU that is:
1 GHz or higher for single processors
900 MHz or higher for double processors
700 MHz or higher for quad processors
Hyper-threading and dual-core processors are supported.
The 64-bit versions of BizTalk Server require a 64-bit operating system running on an x64-based system. Computers based on CPUs that are compatible with the AMD64
(x86-64) and Extended Memory 64-bit Technology (EM64T) processor architecture are considered x64-based systems.
BizTalk Server is not supported on Itanium-based systems.
Memory Minimum - 2 GB of RAM, but from experience its suggested to use atlest 8 for better performance.
Hard disk: Minimum 10 GB of available hard disk space for a complete installation including the operating system and all prerequisite software.
The hard disk must be NTFS formatted. But again from experience its suggested to use attest 50+GB.
And the following article from MSDN shall help you with the
Microsoft -Hardware and Software Requirements for BizTalk Server 2013

Create a test and development environment : only one CMS running

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to create a test and Develpment environment for one CMS?
I'm running BO XI 3.1 enterprise edition.
Thanks
Peter

If you only have one server, you'll need to create an extra folder. Use security to stop non-test/dev users seeing the content. Then publish to it.
Once tested, move reports to 'proper' folders.
