Issue with ODI 11.1.1.5 with Essbase 11.1.2.1

Hi all,
We have Just upgraded ODI 10.1.3.6 to ODI 11.1.1.5 both are using Oracle as the Repository.
After the Upgrade we do have issue with interface which extracts data from the Essbase 11.1.2.1 to Oracle DB
Essbase: LKM Herion Essbase DATA to SQL
Staging: LKM SQL to Oracle
Target: IKM Oracle Incremental Update
When we select the "Staging is diff from Target" the Flow Disappears, with a critical Error message
"Staging Area is loaded by an LKM but target datastore does not reference any columns from a source datastore. Either uncheck the box "Staging area different from target" or add source column references in the target."
This is reported as a bug by the development.
When this option is Unchecked the Flow appears again.
But even with the "Staging is diff from Target" is unchecked when i execute the interface i get the following error message,
org.apache.bsf.BSFException: exception from Jython:
Traceback (most recent call last):

To be honest I think you are best logging it with Oracle because it sounds like you are doing everything correctly so it could be a bug.
Have you tested this on any previous versions of ODI or is it a new installation?
If it does get logged with Oracle please keep me informed of the outcome as I would be interested to hear.

Issues with ODI connection to Hyperion Financial Management

Hi,
I am having some issues with ODI connection to Hyperion Financial Management. ODI and Financial management are setup on different machines.
The ‘Cluster(Data Server)’ name in Topology is given as ‘hfm03cl’. On reverse-engineering a model it gives the following error:
org.apache.bsf.BSFException: exception from Jython:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<string>", line 38, in ?
com.hyperion.odi.common.ODIHAppException: Error occurred in driver while connecting to Financial Management application [HFM1] on [hfm03cl] using user-name [admin].
at com.hyperion.odi.hfm.ODIHFMAppConnection.<init>(ODIHFMAppConnection.java:58)
When HFM is installed on the same machine, it works fine. How does ODI identify a cluster on a different machine? Do I have to give the machine name along with the cluster name? If so, what is the format?
Thanks,
Su

You will need to have the HFM client installed on any machine that will be running ODI (i.e. Designer or Agent) that will be executing connections to an HFM server.
Once you have the HFM client installed, see if you can actually connect to HFM from that machine using the HFM client.
Couple of other thing, in the Physical Schema, have you set the Application Catalog and Work Catalog to the same HFM application?
Also, when you are reversing, are you using the local agent or one you have installed using agentservice?

Hyperion Planning- Account dimension - Sort Order Issue with ODI 11.1.1.5

Hello Experts,
First of all, I thank you everybody in this forum for posting their valuable suggestions.
I am facing a strange issue with ODI (Version 11.1.1.5) while loading metadata to Planning ACCOUNT dimension (Version 11.1.2.x). I am using a Oracle view to load metadata to this dimension. I have defined the sort order in the view and enabled SORT_ORDER_BY_INPUT. For the fresh load to the dimension, everything is working fine. But, when I move a member from one parent to another parent, and define it as the top member of new parent, it is missing its sort order.
But it is working fine if you define it as the second, third...or last member under new parent. I have tried all the possible ways by flipping all the properties but unable to fix it.
Please help me here to resolve this issue.
Your help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

Basic Issue with ODI interface

Hi All,
I have a very strange problem.
I am coding my second interface in ODI.
Its very simple
Joining 4 tables ,with one filter and connect it with the target table.
The interface when executed runs fine,without any error.
But the target table doesn't get populated.
So when i check the ODI interface at every step via the Operator navigator,I get no error at any step.
step1) drop a table (this comes as a warning as no table exists)
step2) create a view(this step suceeds ,but when i check the database the view is not created)
STEP 2 is a real issue and I can't understand as to why this view is not
getting created in database,when the step completes successfully
Pls can someone suggest where should i look for ?
rgds
s

I can relate to your issue.
ODI does this to me all the time.
The Operator logs show all greens and show no error, but no data makes its way to the Target.
I usually remove one mapping at a time and re-run the Interface. That helps me pin-point what might be the issue. Very frustrating.

ODI 10.1.3.5 with SQL Server 2005

Good afternoon,
We recently installed 10.1.3.5, in a Windows environment with SQL Server 2005 and Hyperion Essbase/Planning/HFM 11.1.1. We were following John Goodwin's infamous blog (thanks, John!), but ran into a number of snags.
For instance, when we set-up interfaces with flat files as the source, loading metadata either to Planning or Essbase, ODI errors out when:
1) our header name in the flat file has spaces (using double quotes didn't work)
2) our header name in the flat file is different than the reverse property name from Essbase/Planning.
Also, we're now seeing an issue in our Flat file to Essbase metadata interface where the SQL used in the IKM seems to be incorrect. Below is the error message we're receiving:
"org.apache.bsf.BSFException: exception from Jython:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<string>", line 20, in ?
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: An object or column name is missing or empty. For SELECT INTO statements, verify each column has a name. For other statements,
look for empty alias names. Aliases defined as "" or [] are not allowed. Add a name or single space as the alias name."
We are thinking that the culprit may be either the wrong .jar or .jre we're using with SQL Server 2005, as there seem to be inherent issues with the SQL generated in the LKM and IKM. Our questions to you:
1. What sqljdbc.jar driver version are you using?
2. What .jre version are you using?
3. What environment does the above work correctly in? (perhaps an earlier version of ODI against an earlier version of Hyperion?)
FYI - We have tried sqljdbc 1.0 and 2.0, with .jre 1.6.0_10.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much for responding!
After a 2 week battle, we are now finally coming to a close on our issues (although we cannot say for sure what all of the causes were).
Here is what we discovered about our questions, through other threads:
1. John Goodwin was using JRE 1.6.x, so we ruled that out as a culprit.
2. Others are using SQL Server 2005 just fine with ODI, so we ruled this out too. We chose to keep the sqljdbc 2.0 driver.
Here are some issues we did uncover during our investigation:
1. We were having issues with our agent, specifically regarding the HFM technology. We created a new one, added a few extra parameters, compiled the agent, and are now back up and running. We realized the problem when we switched to "Local (No Agent)" and saw that we were not having as many issues.
2. We went into the physical agent and pressed "Update Scheduling". We do not know if this had any effect, but we suddenly noticed that our flat file header issues were resolved.
3. The Essbase issue was due to a configuration error with our Hyperion Essbase physical technology. We went into that technology and changed a setting on the "Languages" tab, called "Object Delimiter". It had double-quotes in it - we removed that parameter and instantly saw a change in the SQL being executed.
4. Some of the mappings in our interfaces needed to be executed on different environments. i.e. - We needed to switch to "staging" when the flat file header was different than the target column name. Newbie mistake - we thought ODI had built-in intelligence to choose correctly for us.
5. When doing a reverse on Essbase models, we noticed that the Essbase columns would populate with an "Undefined" datatype, instead of the expected CHAR. We have to manually define all column datatypes after every Essbase reverse now. Must be a bug.
6. We also noticed when doing a flat file reverse that all columns auto-populate with datatype STRING, length 50. We have to manually personalize that option for different Hyperion applications, based on need. i.e. - some require numeric datatypes, or smaller/larger lengths. This was obviously a newbie error. :)
Thank you for your tip on the MS SS2005 JDBC drivers - we will look into your other options - IMHO, JTDS, etc.

Hyperion 11.1.1.2 version compatibility with ODI 10.1.3.5.0

Hi,
Whether Hyperion EPM 11.1.1.2 version compatible with ODI 10.1.3.5.0 for Planning/HFM metadata loading and Essbase data loading?
Thanks,
Naveen Suram

Hi,
They are certified for version 11, though there is still an issue when you use the calc script method for exporting data.
There is also a problem with loading data this exists on all the versions and it due to be fixed in the next EPM release later this year.
Cheers

My iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each one upon reinstalling the backup copy? Thank you for help

Almost my iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. (the last 2.5 weeks worth of added music has transferred post-upgrade, none of whcih was bought from iTunes)
I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each playlist upon reinstalling the backup copy? This would save a HUGE amount of time and efforts. Thank you for your help!

hi Limnos,
I do not mean the entire ITunes folder but, rather, the contents of the ITunes folder prior to September 29th. (90% of the media is missing, along with all playlists) The media that remains says it was added on 9/29 although I know most of it was added many months or even years earlier. There are no playlists listed at all, before or after 9/29. (I know for certain that I added non-iTunes purchased songs on 10/6 although I had not created playlists for them)
I have my iTunes folder backed up on both an external drive as well as Time Machine.
I run iTunes off of an ITunes folder on my computer rather than from the external, if that's what you mean about how I have it set up.
Is it OK to drag the entire iTunes folder from the external drive onto my laptop's drive and see if that fixes it?
Thank you for your help!

Please check with new version of TFTPD 32 server. The error may be due to older version of TFPT server, the new version available solved this error. Files are getting uploaded with no issues.
1. Download tftpd32b.zip from:
http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html
2. Copy the tftpd32b.zip file into an empty directory and extract it.
3. Copy the file you want to transver into the directory containing tftpd32.exe.
4. Run tftpd32.exe from that directory. The "Base Directory" field should show the path to the directory containing the file you want to transfer.
At this point, the tftpserver is ready to begin serving files. As devices request files, the main tftpd32 window will log the requests.

Issue with OSI PI WCF Web Service with wshttpbinding

Hi Experts,
System Details:
SAP MII 14 SP4
OSI PI Web Service: PITimeSeries
I am having issue when trying to call OSI PI web service using http post. it is returning status 0 when i am using exception handler in BLS.
Same web service works fine with basichttpbinding (SOAP 1.1) but with wshttpbinding (SOAP 1.2) it is giving error.
Following are Web config binding details for web service.
      <wsHttpBinding>
        <binding name="wsBinding_2011" sendTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536" messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" useDefaultWebProxy="true" allowCookies="false">
          <reliableSession ordered="true" inactivityTimeout="00:10:00" enabled="false" />
          <security mode="Message">
            <message clientCredentialType="Windows" negotiateServiceCredential="true" algorithmSuite="Default" establishSecurityContext="true" />
          </security>
        </binding>
      </wsHttpBinding>
I am not sure it could be the issue with passing windows credentials.
Did anybody consumed WCF web service with wshttpbinding with security mode as Message and clientCredentialType as Windows.
Also i was trying to pass MYSAPSSO2 SSO token to service in http post but first i am not sure if this is correct windows token and second which header property of service should be mapped and i am not sure that I am going into correct direction or not.
Please let me know what i am missing.
I have tried following other options and tools:
SOAP UI: basichttpbinding works fine for wshttpbinding receiving Internal Server error in log and Response as
                  The security context token is expired or is not valid.
MII Web Service Action Block: basichttpbinding works fine for wshttpbinding not able to configure url through wizard because as per                                                                              my discussion with other MII experts MII does not support SOAP1.2. that is one reason for using http post.
WCF Storm: both bindings works fine (There is option to select windows authentication and Impersonation level as delegation)
WCF Test Client: Both bindings works fine
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Manoj Bilthare

Hi Sam,
The web service is valid following are details of testing on various tools.
SOAP UI: basichttpbinding works fine for wshttpbinding receiving Internal Server error in log and Response as The security context token is expired or is not valid.
MII Web Service Action Block: basichttpbinding works fine for wshttpbinding not able to configure url through wizard because as per my discussion with other MII experts MII does not support SOAP1.2. that is one reason for using http post.
WCF Storm: both bindings works fine (There is option to select windows authentication and Impersonation level as delegation)
WCF Test Client: Both bindings works fine
Please let me know if additional details required.

Unique issue with PDF to WORD .doc conversion with Acrobat Pro - any ideas?

I have been unable to solve the following issue when converting (save as...) PDF documents to Microsoft Word .doc using numerous methods. This could either be an issue that would be fixed in Acrobat Pro itself, or in MS Word - posting to the Adobe forums first.
PREFACE: I am attempting to use the converted .doc file with translation applications/software. Google Translator Toolkit is what I use the most, but ALL other translators are having this very same issue with the .doc file. --The source PDFs are product information from drug manufacturers in various countries that I need to have translated to English. I do not have access to their source documents, as they do not provide their own source docs for obvious reasons.
ALSO: I cannot use Google Translator toolkit to translate from PDFs directly - if you do that, it will attempt to translate a PDF and then export in an .html file, but it does not get the exact spacing of the sentences correctly, which leads to errors in translating - key things such as "can take with alcohol" and "do not take with alcohol". So that's out!
I am not having any problems with the resultant .doc file in MS Word itself. It looks right, the spacing matches the original PDF source perfectly, prints correctly, etc... Reference here on a product info sheet from Austria in German:
The problem: This is a screenshot from Google Translator Toolkit - the right side of the image - the spacing in the lettering from the .doc file I am uploading is not being read correctly, resulting in untranslated gibberish. (Note: this isn't a problem with the translation applications or software -- all are having this issue with .doc files converted from .pdf - this issue isn't present with any old .doc file that wasn't converted from a .pdf) -- It's definitely got something to do with some kind of embedded data in the .doc file that I cannot isolate!!)
My settings in Adobe Pro (convert from PDF to .doc):
Page layout: Flowing Text (this prevents the resultant .doc from having all of those text boxes, which also don't then work in translators)
Include comments: True
Include images: True
Run OCR if needed: True
Notes:
-I have run OCR text recognition on the source PDF files in it's specific language.
-I have edited the accessibilty of the PDF and have run the tag recognition and quick checks (to see if they solved the issue, which it did not - tagged or untagged, same problems!)
-I have exported the .doc BACK to PDF using MS Word's function, which results in a great looking tagged PDF. THEN I re-saved this new PDF back as a .doc - same issue.
-I have tried saving the PDF in all of the other formats that the translators accept. All have different issues. The only one that works consistently is saving to a .txt (plain)... The best is a .doc to .doc conversion, with all the original spacing. (I am not spending hours reformatting a .txt translation in word)...
I can't seem to find where this spacing data is in the .doc file!!!! (Changing the fonts, sizes, margins -- doesnt fix this either). I have tried so many methods...
Any thoughts on other things to try in Adobe Pro (or Word)?
EDIT: Here's an additional tidbit of info that may be the key to this... There's some kind of coding that is in the .doc that Adobe Pro converted from the source PDF that doesnt display in Word, but that is being seen by the translation programs....... I have no idea what these are, but I want to remove them!

I would suggest you look at the fonts that are being used. It may be a font issue that is not properly being read by the translation program.

Unable to install the Demonstration Environment with ODI 11g

Hi,
Can someone please help me with Demonstration environment installation with ODI 11g on a windows system.
I have downloaded the zipped file from the OTN site.
I am unable to understand the installation steps in the user guide.Posting them for your reference.
"To manually install the Demonstration environment, do the following:
Unzip oracledi-demo.zip in the ODI_HOME folder.
Verify that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set and contains the path of a JVM suitable for Oracle Data Integrator.
If this variable is not set correctly, set it to a valid java machine location.
For example:
On UNIX operating systems:
setenv JAVA_HOME/usr/local/java
On Windows operating systems:
Set the JAVA_HOME variable graphically "
Regards,
Lovey Saxena

Hi;
Did you try to start installation? Your Java_Home could be avaliable on your env settings, so you dont need to set this for installation. If its fails please try to use this syntax:
Set JAVA_HOME=C:\xxx

Rendering issues? Audio is not in sync with video

im very very new to after effects and im jumped straight into the deep end of things, i downloaded a rendered template with a audio file to go with... when i render it in AVI it also seems like the video is way to slow for the audio and doesn't match up! I have no idea what to do or try or what im looking for, so any help would be massively appreciated! thank you so much for your time

Other than what Mylenium suggests, there isn't a whole lot else we can do. It is a very unwise thing to jump into using AE without introducing yourself to the basics, because the application contains too many ways to foil the uninitiated. Furthermore, since you don't know the arcane AE lingo, there are also translation issues to deal with.
Almost NO ONE successfully learns AE intuitively. Those who are successful have last names that begin with the letters "ein" and end with "stein". Almost EVERYONE has to start with the basics. Here is a very good introduction to the basics.
Fight the temptation to jump right into AE. You do so at your peril.

How to Read file name which we are dealing with ODI File tool

Hi,
We are using ODi10g version and we have requirement to move file from one place to another place. We are using ODIFileMove utility but we also want to read file name.
Any help.
Thanks in Advance.

You can accomplish this with a fairly simple Jython script. Use the os.listdir(<directory>) command to get the name of files in a given directory.
You can then (still in the Jython script) loop through the files and move them to a desired location (bypassing the OdiFileMove tool) OR use the Jython script to write the file names to a SQL table. Then, use an ODI procedure to loop through the newly inserted records and store the file name in an ODI variable that you can then use in your OdiFileMove tool etc.
I often refer to this blog entry from Gurcan Orhan as a starting point for this kind of task: Loading multiple files with ODI | Gurcan Orhan&#039;s Oracle Data Integrator Blog

How to export data from DB to flat file with ODI?

we want to export DB2 tables to flat files.
Who can tell me how to do it with ODI?
Please give me a simple example or steps.
Thank you.

There are two ways
Either use IKM Sql to File Append
(or)
OdiSqlUnload
For OdiSqlUnload you can use this technique to provide the connection parameters - http://odiexperts.com/?p=1985
