How to sync a planning application in Dev from Prod?

Hello,
I have a planning application in Dev ("X") that is now out of date and is not synced up with the planning application in Prod ("Y"). X and Y are the same applications just the names are different in the environments.
I want to know what is the best ways to sync up the planning application "X" that is in dev with a planning application "Y" that is in production to make sure its closest to production now? What are the things that I need to keep in mind while doing this?
If I were to use LCM for this is it necessary that both the applications should have the same application and database name?
It would be really helpful if someone could suggest the best and efficient way to do so and throw some light on this topic.
Thanks,
- Krrish

I'm sure there are other ways to do this, but my preferred method is exporting the application via LCM to the file system. This will dump a series of XML files to the import_export directory.
The reason I prefer this method is that you can do a "bulk" find and replace on these files with a tool like TexRep. This means you can change the app name or database name without much trouble when moving between environments. Update the XML files with the new name and simply import them into the target app.
One important tip . . . . the app name is embedded in not only the XML files themselves, but also into the file folder names. So make sure you update these directory names as well, or you'll have issues with the import.
Another important tip . . . . make sure you don't overwrite the admin password by importing PROD Shared Services data into DEV. (I typically don't migrate things between Shared Services environments with LCM - so make sure you either exclude this from your migration, or manually remove this ID from your XML files.)
Hope this helps,

  • How to reference a Planning Application in Workspace

    Hello,
    I've developped several Planning applications.
    But when I open workspace / Applications / Planning, (with an admin user)
    I only see one Planning application. So I want to know how to reference a Planning application in Workspace ??
    Thanks for your help
    Best regards

    Some details :
    My Planning applications seems to works correctly. Essbase is Okay. Shared services is okay too but the Workspace is out (and with it Financial Reporting Studio).
    Before that problem, In the configurator, I've deleted all Planning clusters except one (Default). I've selected Re-associate Clusters and Applications and I've successfully re-Associate all Planning Application to Default Cluster. Then I've Activated Cluster Default.
    But Anyway, Since I've deleted Planning Clusters my Workspace doesn't work anymore.
    I've a doubt: I've tried to redeploy Workspace (Configurator / Hyperion Foundation / Workspace / Deploy to Application Server and Configure web Server.
    It doesn't work because it says that Workspace already exists :p.
    Anyway I'm surprised about something : To access Workspace we use the 19000 port but In Configuration we I try to deploy it I see it is on the 45000 port. If I click on advanced / Setup a little window open "Set up Logical Address". And it is writtend Edit Default Cluster : gl-dev-budget : 45000 meanwhile when (still in Configurator) I open Planning / Manage Planning Cluster the server port is 8300 ??
    Is someone can helps me ?
    Thanks
    Best regards

  • How do I call an Application Module method from a EntityImpl class?

    Guys and Gals,
    Using Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.3.0.
    I've got a price update form, that when submitted, takes the part numbers and prices in the form and updates the corresponding Parts' price in the Parts table. Anytime this Parts view object's ReplacementPrice attribute is changed, an application module method needs to be called which updates a whole slew of related view objects. I know you can modify view objects via associations (How do I call an Application Module method from a ViewObjectImpl class? but that's not what I'm trying to do. These AppModuleImpl methods are the hub for all price updates, as many different operations may affect related pricing (base price lists, price buckets, etc) and hence, call the updatePartPricing(key) method.
    For some reason, the below code does not call / run / activate the application module's method. The AppModuleDataControl exists and recordPartHistory(key) is registered and public. At runtime, the am.<method> code is simply ignored, and as a weird side-effect, I cannot navigate out of my current page flow.
      public void setReplacementPrice(Number value)
        setAttributeInternal(REPLACEMENTPRICE, value);
        AppModuleImpl am = (AppModuleImpl)this.getDBTransaction().findApplicationModule("AppModuleDataControl");
        Key key = new Key(new Object[]
            { getPartNumber() });
        am.recordPartHistory(key);  // AppModuleImpl method which records pricing history
        am.updatePartPricing(key); // AppModuleImpl method which updates a whole slew of related pricing tables
      }Any ideas?

    Thanks Timo.
    Turns out the code provided was correct, but the AppModuleImpl method being called was not. A dependent ViewObject wasn't returning the row I was expecting. I then tried to perform some operations on that row, which in turn ... just stopped everything, but didn't give me an error.
    It was the lack of the error that threw me off. I had never messed with calling an AppModuleImpl method from the EntityImpl so I assumed that's what was messing up.
    You are correct. It is available from the ViewRow, but I thought it better to put it in the EntityImpl. This method will be called every time the replacement cost is modified. If I didn't put it in the EntityImpl, I'd have to remember to call it every time a replacement cost changed.

  • How to run a remote application (Non Java) from a Java program

    Could you please tell me how to run a remote application (Non-Java) from a Java program without using RMI. Please tell me know the procedure and classes to be used.
    Cheers
    Ram

    what do you mean remote application.In the other pc or in your pc just apart from you application?
    If the application is in your pc,the method which the upper has mentioned is
    a good one!
    But if the application you want to run is not in your computer,the method can't do. And you can use socket with which you can build an application listening some port in the pc which contains the application you want to run .When you want to run that application ,send the Start_Command to the listening application.Then listening application will run the application with the help of the method the upper mentioned.

  • Imp into Dev from Prod - schemas, data only, truncate tables

    Hello,
    I am going to impdp from Prod to Dev. This is a data only import. I plan to do a schema impdp. This is the command I plan to use:
    impdp system/password schemas=user1,user2,user3,user4 directory=dir_123
    logfile=imp123.log dumpfile=dump123.dmp content=data_only table_exists_action=truncate
    1) Do I need to disable the contraints/triggers in Dev before doing impdp?
    Is disabling contraints necessary in Dev since the contraints in Prod have no violations?
    2) What is going to happen if in Dev the objects already exist? For example, an index on a table, would this index be over written during the impdp? Or do I drop the index in Dev prior to the import and then let the import create new ones?
    3) What impdp options should I use, if I only want to truncate the tables belonging to the schemas being imported? What about existing objects, such as indexes, what is going to happen to the existing objects? Are they going to be over-written by the impdp?

  • How to auto refresh planning application -- using ABAP Class?

    Hi
    I have written few planning functions and attached them in one single planning sequence. One of the planning function in this sequence is de-activate data slice checkmark in planning modeler. If I execute this planning function indiviually then it works great however when I use this function in sequence then second function in row doesnot identify changes made by first function(data slice inactivate) and thus throws errors.
    At the same time, if I refresh my planning session and re-execute the planning sequence then it does works as REFRESH activates the changes done by first function (de-activate data slice).
    I am wondering if there is any ABAP class that can trigger this auto refresh in background else some other method to do this auto refresh ?
    Please let me know if you have any thoughts on this one.
    Thanks and happy holidays
    Al
    Edited by: Al Gon on Dec 21, 2007 3:56 AM

    Hi Al,
    The planning fn to deactivate was ineffective in a sequence was because the sequence which executes the functions does it on the data in the buffer and not actually on saved data, while your deactivation would work on the data after its saved.
    You could perhaps run that function separately from the others in the sequence and save the data first and then perform your "deactivation" function.
    Merry Christmas

  • How to sync iphone on new iMac, coming from Vista, without loosing data?

    Hello people,
    I'm in an awkward situation as i think most people are when dealing with this kind of problem. I searched the forum for something like this but with no success.
    So my question in detail is: I came from a PC world, with windows vista and now i'm a new Mac fan. Bought a new iPhone and loved the device so much that i had to try some Mac notebooks and iMacs to see what's what. And guess what after 1 month i ended up with a new iMac...and so far i love it even though i still have alot to learn in OS X. Since i had my iPhone 3G synced with my old PC with ITunes i can't sync now with my new iMac without loosing everything on it, including photos, applications, music and other stuff.
    So how can i sync it without loosing that data????
    I googled on the net for an answer and i found some answers to a method that would allow to further sync my iPhone and still keep the actual data in it. In other words make iTunes ignore the existing data in it, but i found it rather too much of a hassle, having to modify strings of data in some files in the Library.
    Also i found another method but that might work only from a windows machine to another windows machine, with itunes library exporter.
    So knowing my situation what would you do?
    PS: IMHO syncing to erasing all data is NOT an option. let's say that i would venture in creating new photo albums to sync them, and put the music back but what about the apps? I bought so many of them and some with vital information/settings that i could simply not bare having them deleted.
    HELP PLS!

    App settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app are not stored with the application in your iTunes library. 3rd party app settings and data are stored with the app on your iPhone and included with your iPhone's backup - which is created and maintained by iTunes during the sync process.
    Once again - you need to transfer your iTunes folder and library from your PC to your Mac. In case you missed it - your need to transfer your iTunes folder and library from your PC to your Mac. All apps downloaded via iTunes or via your iPhone should be in your iTunes library. App settings and data created and stored by an app are stored with the app on your iPhone and included with your iPhone's backup.
    When syncing with another computer - even with the same iTunes library and iTunes account, your iPhone will be erased of all iTunes content but iTunes should create a backup of your iPhone first - which includes settings and data created by a 3rd party app. You can always manually create a backup for your iPhone with iTunes on your Mac before syncing.
    Your iPhone will be erased of all iTunes content first, followed by selected iTunes content via your iTunes sync preferences being re-transferred to your iPhone. If any 3rd party app settings or data is lost, you can restore your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup.
