InfoCube is not a Basis-InfoCube;Administration is not useful
Hi All,
On adding a new field to a DSO , we are unable to activate it. It gives the message as shown below:
InfoCube is not a Basis-InfoCube;Administration is not useful
When we see the logs it shows that database tables are deleted.
Thanks,
Mayuri
Yes, but if i try to activate the DSO , ith give the message that the there was an error in activating the DDIC tables.
Thanks,
Mayuri

I am trying to install the OS Mavericks upgrade on my MAC and it requests for me to enter an administrator password. I do not use an an administrator password on the machine. Any ideas how to resolve this?
If you bought the machine new yourself, and did not enter a password when configuring it, leave the field blank.
If you bought it used, then you need to reset the password, as described here:

I have paid once for one month subscription for al jazeera sport live app. I just released after few months that they are automatically charging me on monthly bases. How i can stop them charging me for something i did not use and i did not authorize?
You possibly set up an auto-renewing subscription with the app - there are instructions on this page on how to manage them, including how to stop them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098

Scripting AirPort base station administration
I'm wondering if it is possible to script administering AirPort base stations. I tried looking around & I couldn't find anything specific (though I'm guessing that the answer is no, esp. since AirPort Admin Utility isn't scriptable).
Anyway, here's my problem. The office of a client has set up a collection of AirPort base stations and they all use hardware access controls (ie. MAC address ACLs). That means that whenever a new machine needs to access the wireless network, I need to go into the configuration of each base station (there are 6 of them) & manually add its MAC address to the ACL. Needless to say, it's a pain & it would be so much better to be able to automate it.
Is there any way to do this? It seems like a fairly obvious thing to me... Thanks in advance.

Query not using aggregate when written against multiprovider
We have a multiprovider that contains one infocube. The infocube has aggregates defined to it. When writing a query against the infocube, an aggregate is used. However, when writting the identical query against the multiprovider, an aggegate is not used. We are running BI 7.0, Netweaver 2004s, patch set 10. Is there something that needs to be done to the multiprovider to get it to recognize the aggregate?
We have determined the issue to be one of the navigational attributes. It is not used in our query and is not in our aggregate. For some reason, the query against the multiprovider wanted it to be there. After adding it to the aggregate, we were fine. We found this using RSRT and specifying the 'Select Aggregate' option. This gave us a good message as to why the aggregate was not being used. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

Hello,
i've a problem with an aggregate i've created for a query: the Aggregate is not used.
i've tried it in RSRT with "run and debug" and there the aggregate will be found and the aggregate statistik in the InfoCube gets a new "last used" date.
But when i run it in RSRT just clicking the "run" button or within the Bex-Analyzer the aggregate statistik will not be updated -> the aggreate is not used.
What did i wrong?Hi Dennis,
if the query is in the cache then it's read from there. If it'S not in the cache then it will use the aggregates. You may see it in execution statistics of the query, if it was executed in cache or by using aggregates. Activate statistics in RSRT and debug, then you should see how it is executed.

Index not used on view when table stats exist
Hello,
I would be grateful if someone comes with ideas on the following problem I'm currently facing.
I have a table with XMLTYPE data type column:
sql-->desc ACFBNK_STMT008
RECID NOT NULL VARCHAR2(200)
XMLRECORD XMLTYPE
I have a view V_ACFBNK_STMT008 on that table, in which the view columns are defined as extracted tags values from the XMLTYPE field, e.g. for the view field N_BOOKING_DATE:
numcast(extractValue(xmlrecord,'/row/c25')) "N_BOOKING_DATE"
(note: numcast is just a simple function that returns TO_NUMBER of its input argument)
I have also a function-based index on this field of the table:
CREATE INDEX train4.NIX_ACFBNK_STMT008_C25
ON train4.ACFBNK_STMT008("TRAIN4"."NUMCAST"(extractValue(xmlrecord,'/row/c25')))
And so, I'm executing on the view the following SQL statement:
SELECT RECID FROM V_ACFBNK_STMT008 WHERE (N_BOOKING_DATE > TO_NUMBER('20070725'));
Now, the problem comes: when statistics exist on the view base table (that is ACFBNK_STMT008) then the above statement is not using the index and is making a "table access full". When I delete the statistics for the table then the SQL runs fast with an "index range scan".
Which is further strange - when I change the ">" operand with a "=" the SQL statement correctly captures the index regardless of whether or not statistics exist.
I've tried to manually rewrite the SQL and include the "numcast" function in it:
SELECT RECID FROM TRAIN4.V_ACFBNK_STMT008 WHERE ( N_BOOKING_DATE>train4.numcast(TO_NUMBER( '20010725' ) ));
And in this way the index is used OK even with statistics existing!
But regretfully I don't have a way to change the application and the SQL, so the only things I can change is the view and/or the index.
Thank you in advance,
Evgeni
P.S.
I've tried gathering statistics in both the following ways but still the problem persists:
sql-->analyze table train4.ACFBNK_STMT008 compute statistics;
sql-->exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname=>'TRAIN4', tabname=>'ACFBNK_STMT008', CASCADE=>TRUE, partname=>NULL);Oh, and I forgot to mention: I cannot change the view definition as well (for example, to remove the "numcast"), since every now and then the application would recreate it automatically with the same code. :(

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I have waited for a while and the result doesn't change.
The Porblem here is the application is seen started in visual administrator.Only restart brings up the page back.
Can you please suggest anything.
Thanks and regards

How do I turn off background ni file activity when not using Labview? I use labview rarely, and I also use my computer for demanding multimedia applications, including multitrack digital audio recording. I need to reduce as much background activity as possible, and taking a look with task manager I see files such as nimxs.exe, nipalsm.exe, nipalsm.exe, nisvcloc.exe, and nicitdl5.exe running even when I haven't used Labview (8 I believe). These files run even after I right click the NI icon on the lower right and turn off the application. I would like the computer to boot up without these files, and for the necessary files to be activated only when I start the program.
Can this be done or do I have to remove labview from the system to improve performance?
ThanksHello, those processes are part of running NI services that start when Windows boots. These processes serve varied purposes and stopping them can have undefined and unknown consiquences for your NI products. These products run at "normal" priority meaning that they should be preempted by any process running at a higher priority which I would expect your other application to be doing given their time sensitivity. That being said, in Windows XP (I can't speak for other OSes), you can lower their priorities even greater through task manager (right click the process»set priority) to further remove them from contention for resources. If you want to prevent them from running you can set the service startup type to "manual" in Control Panel»Administrative Tools»Services. Right click the process go to Properties and Under the General tab choose Startup Type»Manual. This will start up the processes only when something directly starts it up. LabVIEW will start these processes up as it attempts to use them. When you shut down LabVIEW you will need to manually shut down these processes through task manager. Again, doing this can cause problems with your NI products on your system and it is not advised.

I have not used my Apple TV in a few years, and just got it out of the bag to use on a new TV. I connected it up to power and with an HDMI cable toTV. It attempts to set date and time and cannot. I cannot get the remote to interact with the box also. Could it be something as simple as needing a new battery?
Hi kybriar,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps you can take to troubleshoot the remote itself:

Reset Apple TV by unplugging it from the power outlet, waiting about five seconds, then plugging it in again.
Power off your TV, wait five seconds, then power it back on.
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connectionshttp://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
Ensure that Apple TV is within range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
Make sure other devices (computers, iPhone, iPad, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Check your Wi-Fi network settings on Apple TV:
Select Settings > General > Network > Wi-Fi and press the center button on the remote to display nearby networks.
Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list.
If your Wi-Fi network uses a password, make sure you are entering it correctly.
Restart your Apple TV by selecting Settings > General > Restart.
Try restarting your Wi-Fi router or modem by turning it off and then on again.
If possible, connect an Ethernet cable and verify your Internet connection. If you can connect to the Internet using an Ethernet connection, verify that your Apple TV is using the latest software by selecting Settings > General > Software Update. If your Apple TV can be updated, install the update and then try the steps again.

Whereas /etc/default/passwd on the ldap client says passwords must be 8 characters. This is seen with the pam_authtok_check: minimum length from /etc/default/passwd: 8
. It is clearly not using the policy from the directory server but checking locally. So I can login ok using the ldap server for authentication but when I try to change the password it does not use the policy from the server which says I only need a minimum lenght of 6 characters.
I have read that pam_ldap is only supported for directory server 5.2. Because I am running ds6 and with password compatability in ds6 mode maybe this is my problem. Does anyone know of any updated pam_ldap modules for solaris 9?
Edited by: ericduggan on Sep 8, 2008 5:30 AMyou can try passwd -r ldap for changing the ldap passwds...

I just got the 5G Airport Extreme base station. Set-up was a snap! Maybe 10-15 minutes compared to a friend who got another name brand for his pc and took a couple hours, even having to call customer support! Been working great so far, but am concerned about never turning it off, not only about the possibe harm that could be done to the unit, but also about having an active, open Internet connection 24/7. Before I got my Airport Extreme I was using Ethernet cable with a cable modem that could be placed on "standby" whenever I was not using my Mac for Internet, but since AE5G doesn't have a power switch on the unit, have left it turned on rather than unplugging it by the electrical cord. I did turn AirPort "off" in the menu bar when not using it wth my Mac, but AE is still apparently constantly active, showing a steady green light. Would there be any harm done by plugging it in only when I want to use Wi-Fi, then unplugging it?
Thanks for the help!Would there be any harm done by plugging it in only when I want to use Wi-Fi, then unplugging it?
That is a matter of debate, since there are two schools of thought regarding power status on a router.
One school maintains that you can turn the device on and off as needed. Makes sense for some folks. The advantage of this is that it might save a bit of electricity, although the Extreme draws very little power most of the time.
Another school believes that there is a reason why Apple did not even place an "Off" switch on the device. It's designed to run 24/7.
Leaving the Extreme on will place far less stress on the electrical components in the device since they stay in an "idle" state most of the time, drawing very little current. Powering any electrical device up sends a sudden rush of current through the device, which places far more stress on a device than if it is simply left on.
It depends on your priorities. If you want to save electricity, your decision is already made. If you intend to prolong the life of the router, then consider leaving it on, as Apple intended.
A compromise position might be to leave the Extreme on most of the time and power if off for long weekends or vacation periods when you will be away. Remember that the Extreme must establish all new network connections every time that it powers back up....perhaps another reason to simply leave it on. -
Mail does not use correct outgoing server
Problem
Mail in Mavericks (and also IOS6 snf 7) does not use the outgoing smtp server associated with the account being used. This results in either a failure to send or mail being put into the wrong "Sent" folder.
Background
I have most of my non-icloud mail pulled down to a home server from which my laptops and ios devices access various accounts using imap. The local home server also provides smtp and relays all mail to my ISP. Recently I have been switching from an old home server (Mac Mini) to a new one (Raspberry pi running the debian Raspbian version with fetchmail, Dovecot and postfix setup).
While making the changeover I had access to both the old server and the new server enabled on my laptop. Naturally the majority of the settings (Name, email address etc) were the same although the name and address of the server to be used for both incoming and outgoing mail were different. This seemed tp work fine for incoming. However when I tested outgoing mail the copy that should appear in the "sentt" box went missing. This usually indicates some mistake in the setting of the sent mail folder on the accounts but this all checked out.
I eventually found the missing outgoing mail intended to go through the new server in the sent box on the old server. Further trials showed that no matter what I did the outgoing would always default to the old (and therefore first set up) outgoing server.
Deleting the old account and the old outgoing server of course should cure the problem and will eventually be the solution for me when I kill the old server. But i wanted to get to the bottom of the problem in case it reappeared in other contexts. Checking the "use only this server" box produced failure to send rather than the correct result.
Trialing various alterntaive settings showed that the problem occurs when there are two outgoing servers with the email address in the settings and the user name on the outgoing server name being the same. I had assumed that changing the description field would distinguish between the various settings; however this did not work. Changing the Name Field did work eg by putting (O) after my name.
It appears therefore that mail selects the outgoing server on the basis of email address (with the full name included) and user name (trrespective of the actual server or the Description that shows in the smtp server listing. In some ways this is logical but it produces problems in the context I have described and would also be a difficulty if you wanted to use an alternative server when in a different location.
I have trawled support and elsewhere for any thing similar. Lots of mail problems (don't get me started on the way icloud loses outgoing each time you edit the list!) but I have not found any posts on precisiely this point.
IOS devices seem to have similar problems, but a quick attempt at a similar solution does not work, and I cannot be bothered to test the options. I will simply clean them out and put in the new accounts.
Advice
Grateful for any comments or advice from people who have encountered similar problems and whether my diagnosis if correct. Have I missed any obvious corrections that would clear this up. I do not know whether this is a Mavericks issue or also appears in earlier OSX versions.
CPEPeter,
Where ever the Sent and Trash folders show in the Sidebar, highlight first one, and then the other, followed by clicking on Mailbox in the Menubar, and choosing Use This Mailbox For, and choose the function.
Keep us posted on your progress.

11.1.2.3 multiple node install, not using a shared location for HTTP config files
I finished, as best as I could a three server install of 11.1.2.3; foundation server with Workspace, R&A, EPMA, Essbase tools, an Essbase only server, and a Planning server. I did not use a 'sharedlocation (Advanced link in HTTP screen) for the servers. My question is; 'What needs to be done to complete the configuration, as Planning Administration does not show up in Workspace?' It is possible to re-configure HTTP to a 'sharedLocation' after the install and config tasks are done?
Thanks,You can configure the OHS shared location at any point
Cheers

Query on virtual column that is defined in XMLIndex does not use the index
Hello,
I am facing an issue in executing queries on a virtual column that is defined in an XMLIndex: it appears as if the index is not used.
Database details:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production

</xsd:schema>A field can have a single value as well as multiple values.
The XMLIndex is defined as follows:
CREATE INDEX test_xmltype_idx ON test_xmltype (additional_fields) INDEXTYPE IS XDB.XMLIndex
PARAMETERS
XMLTable dt_fld_tab (TABLESPACE "TAB_SPACE" COMPRESS FOR OLTP) ''fields/field''
COLUMNS
name varchar2(30 char) PATH ''@name''
,dataType varchar2(1 char) PATH ''@type''
,val varchar2(4000 char) PATH ''value/text()''
,vals XMLType PATH ''values/value'' VIRTUAL
XMLTable dt_fld_multi_value_tab (TABLESPACE "TAB_SPACE" COMPRESS FOR OLTP) ''value'' passing vals
COLUMNS
val varchar2(4000) PATH ''text()''
,startDate varchar2(30 char) PATH ''@startDate''
,endDate varchar2(30 char) PATH ''@endDate''
');The following b-tree indexes are defined:
create index dt_field_name_idx on dt_fld_tab (name);
create index dt_field_value_idx on dt_fld_tab (val);
create index dt_field_values_idx on dt_fld_multi_value_tab (val);And stats are properly computed before the queries are executed:
call dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user, 'test_xmltype', estimate_percent => null);Queries for single values are cost efficient and fast. With 600K rows in the table these return with 0.002 seconds.
Queries for multi-valued fields / elements are not though, these result in a full table scan.
Sample XML snippet:
<fields>
<field name="multiVal" type="C">
<values>
<value startDate="2013-01-01" endDate="2013-01-01">100</value>
<value startDate="2014-01-01">120</value>
</values>
</field>
</fields>Examples of costly and slow queries:
select id from test_xmltype
where xmlexists('/fields/field/@name="multiVal"' passing additional_fields)
and xmlexists('/fields/field/values/value[@startDate="2013-01-01"]' passing additional_fields)
and xmlexists('/fields/field/values/value[text()="100"]' passing additional_fields)
select id from test_xmltype
where xmlexists('/fields/field/@name="multiVal"' passing additional_fields)
and xmlexists('/fields/field/values/value[@startDate="2013-01-01" and .="100"]' passing additional_fields);Whereas the following query on the multi valued field is fast:
select id from test_xmltype
where xmlexists('/fields/field/@name="multiVal"' passing additional_fields)
and xmlexists('/fields/field/values/value[@startDate="2013-01-01"]' passing additional_fields);For the XPath /fields/field/values/value[@startDate="2013-01-01"] the index is used.
Suspected cause: XPath issue for the value of a multi valued field, e.g. /fields/field/values/value[text()="aValue"].
Any hints are appreciated: what am I overlooking here?
Thanks in advance,
-Sjoerd
Edited by: user615230 on May 27, 2013 7:46 AMHello,
This is using binary XML. The table creation script is:
create table test_xmltype
(id number(14,0) not null primary key
,member_code varchar2(30 char) not null
,period_code varchar2(30 char) not null
,amount number(12,2) not null
,additional_fields xmltype
);The schema is not registered in the database. Is that required? It is primarily used to generate Java classes that will be used in order to construct the XML documents.
And you are right: for our initial investigation the sample XML documents are generated with a PLSQL routine and do not contain namespaces. But for the single valued fields there are also no namespaces and the queries on these are executed with very satisfactory plans.
Thanks for the swift reply.
