It is possible replace .rpd file without shutdown BI server?

I have BI server with a few repositories. I need to replace one of them with a backup file. But I don't want to shutdown BI server because the other repository is in production use. Is there way how to do it?

The server's got a lock on the file while it's up and running. So the only possibility you have is to open the rpd in online mode and adjust your rpd manually to match your backup.

Deploying the new war file without stopping the server

How can i deploy my updated application war file without stopping the server as the user sessions in my application and transactions as well as users request has to be carried out during the deploy process.
Edited by: Kaywin on Jan 28, 2008 10:39 AM

You can update web application via Administration GUI and then deploy the configuration. You don't have to restart the server for it. Assuming you are using 7.0 u2, follow the steps as below to update the web application:-
- Login to Administration Console
- Go to Virtual Servers tab under a Server Configuration, for deploying a web application (Configurations -> <config_name -> Virtual Servers -> <vs_name>)
- Click on Web Applications tab and check the web application in the "Web Applications" table and then click on Update button.
- Point to the updated war file in the pop up and click ok
- Now just deploy the configuration by clicking on "Deployment Pending" link on the top right of the page
Here is the docs page which has more information about web application deployment -
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2202/gbrmp?a=view
Hope this helps

Could anyone please help.

Connecting to sql server database mdf file without installing sql server on client machine?

I am creating a window application that need to use sql server database. I want to install this application to client machine without installing sql server so that my application can still connect to a database i.e mdf file that i will be providing at client
system.
How can i connect to a database(mdf) on client machine through my window application without installing sql server. ? I dont know is it possible or not.
If possible what will be the connection string in that case. Database need not be used in network.

you cant connect and view the internals of mdf file unless it being attached to a sql server instance as a database.
The sql server instance can be installed in any box which is in the same domain and then you can connect from your application to it.

Modify JSP file without restarting the server

Hi guys,
I need to do small change in the JSP in the production.
How can I do it without restarting the server?
I have deployed the application as an EAR file.
I use WLP8.1 SP3
IS there any way?
Ananth

You can try expanding (use jar util) that ear into temp dir, then make the change, use jar util again to create the ear. try redepolying it. Make sure change the jsp recheck and hit that page. see if it works. Incase if it works put the jsp recheck back to -1.
Note: This is just an idea, I never done.
Thanks

Replacing Hosts file without prompt

I need to provide some users a means to copy a new Hosts file into place without needing the local admin password.
What commands can I use, with admin password embedded, to allow for this?
cp and mv don't seem to allow for specifying the admin credentials.
thanks,
darrin

Try using the visudo command to edit the sudoers file so that the exact command needed to replace the hosts file doesn't require an administrator password to be invoked with sudo.

Is there a way to run a script to create an RPD file from MDS XML files

We would be interested in using the MDS XML format for the RPD file in saving it in our Subversion source code control system, and I have seen how to do this in the User documentation.
Our question is whether or not there is a way to use a command line tool to recreate the rpd file without having to use the Admin tool, so that we can automate the deployment of the RPD file from source code control to QA and Production environments.
If we check in the RPD file directly, then there is a way to automate the process, but we would prefer to use the MDS XML format since this allows us to save changes in text format, not binary, but we still need to be able to automate the process.
In the Oracle Fusion Middleware XML Schema Reference for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition document, I have found that there is a way to automate the creation of the MDS XML files from an RPD file using this command:
biserverxmlgen -M -R repository_pathname [-P password] -D output_directory [-8] [-N] [-Q|-S]
So my question is basically is there a way to reverse this process, to use some command line tool (or Weblogic Scripting or some other mechanism) to create the RPD file from the MDS XML files? Are there options on the biserverxmlexec command that will do what I am asking?

Hey dmfairley,
Thanks for the question. You can absolutely export the project as .mp3, as outlined in this resource:
GarageBand Help: Export songs to disk
http://help.apple.com/garageband/mac/10.0/#gbnd7cbf5ed9
Export songs to disk
You can export a project to your computer as a stereo audio file.
Exported files can be reused in GarageBand to save processing resources by replacing or bypassing multiple regions, instruments, and effects. They can also be used with other music applications and devices, posted on the Internet (on a webpage, or in the iTunes Store, for example), added to an iTunes playlist, or uploaded to a mobile device such as iPhone or iPad.
1. Choose Share > Export Song to Disk.
2. To rename the exported file, select the name in the Save As field, then enter a new name.
3. Choose a location to save the exported file from the Where pop-up menu.
4. Select the format for the exported file (AAC, MP3, or AIFF).
5. Choose the quality setting for the exported file from the Quality pop-up menu.
6. Click Export.
Thanks,
Matt M.

How to access/open rpd files in offline mode from client desktop

Hi All,
Please tell me what configuration settings I need to have on my desktop to access RPD files stored on BI server?
In our OBIEE environment, we have BI server installed on linux server, and I have installed BI admin tool on my desktop (Windows OS).
I need to know what settings I should configure in my NQSConfig.ini file on my desktop so that I can access rpd files stored on BI server...
I can access online RPD using BI server ODBC connectibity, but want to access other offline RPD files stored in repository directory on linux server where OBIEE 11g server installation is done.
Thanks and Regards
Santosh

Saichand,
Highly appreciate your response.
But wht I am looking for is how to access other RPD files stored in repository folder on server machine where BI server is running, from BI administration tool which is installed on my desktop
I am able to access default online repository on BI server using ODBC configuration from BI admin tool on my desktop, but want to access other rpd files (lets say sample rpd files which are installed on BI server machine) using (file->open-offline) option.
As per Jay, it seems it is not possible to access repositories other than online repository on BI server, and I will have to copy those rpd files on my desktop and then access using file->open->offline option in BI admin tool.
If you have any other way of doing this or have done this somehow , please let me know.
Thanks and Regards
Santosh

Bypassing the replace prompt when replacing a file that already exits

I want to bypass the "replace prompt" when replacing the file I know already exits. In the program when I ask it to replace 1 file I know it needs to replace several other different files. I just want one original promt to replace the file and all other to be bypassed and just have the program replace the file without a promp. The program uses several "write characters to file" vi and several write to spreedsheet file" vi.

you can edit the write to spreadsheet and write characters nodes, they are plain VIs.
Now simply wire a False diagram constant to the advisory dialog input of the open/create/replace node in each of the two mentioned VIs. Giive them a different icon (e.g. change the background color) and save them under a new name elsewhere. Save them in user.lib and they'll even show up in the user palette.

Edit PHP files without extension

Hi,
I'm currently developing a website with DW CS3 and I'm using
apache's mod_rewrite so I have clean URL's. The thing is that doing
this forces me to rename my php files e.g.
index.php to
index. Is there a way that DW recognizes these files as PHP
files, so I have nice highlighted code?
Greets,
Nick

Hello,
Right clicking and selecting open is exactly the answer to
the question you
asked about how to open files without an extension.
There are many young people and people just learning here, so
all questions
are answered.
How was anyone supposed to know you meant something else, and
that you
already knew the answer was to right click and select open?
You didn't mention DW was giving you errors until after 2
people gave the
answer to the question you asked.
The fact that DW is giving you an error message when you try
to open the
file is something else entirely.
So, if that's your actual question, can you expand on "DW
keeps giving me
errors" and share what the error messages are, so we can try
and help you?
Take care,
Tim

Zen Vision M - Transfering files without a progr

How do I transfer files to my ZVM without a software?
I managed to transfer files very easily with the MediaSource and the ZVM Media Explorer.
But, is it possible to transfer files without a software?
Say, i want to transfer music files from my friend's computer to my ZVM.
Thanks

All mp3 players require you to install the software on the computer initially so the computer can actually recognise the player. Your friend would have to have Creative Zen Vision:M or the software installed on the computer first.
I'm not sure but your player may come up as a removable disc and not as the zen in 'My Computer', in that case you may be able to drag and drop files into it but I wouldn't suggest it as that could damage the player.
Otherwise just buy the CD

Changing Weblogic Server properties without restarting Weblogic Server

I have an application that requires a few things to be set at the start of the
Weblogic server (email addresses,criteria settings, etc.). These are contained
in a properties file that is referenced in the Weblogic properties file. The
problem is when I want to make a change in the application property file (change
an email address, increment a criteria) I have to "reboot" the Weblogic server.
These defeats the whole purpose of property files. Is there anyway to get Weblogic
to "recache" the properties files without a Weblogic server "reboot"?
Thanks,
Bryan

I very much doubt that you would be able to refresh the WebLogic properties
file at run-time (is this WebLogic 5.1 or 6.0 you are talking a about?).
If you want to be able to update properties run-time (as opposed to
boot-time) then don't use WebLogic's property file - use either your own
properties file or store the properties elsewhere such as in the database or
in JNDI. You will of course have to implement your own refresh algorithm.
If you are using EJBs then a simple READ-ONLY entity bean with a refresh
period of a few seconds may suffice.

How to recover access to OST file if removed Exchange Server

I am just one person and don't want to spend $200 for a OST to PST conversion, to recover a handful of contacts, not emails, that I neglected to archive before removing my Exchange email account. I have the OST file, and its on the same machine, but
unable to re-add the Exchange Account as the Server is no longer there.
ALL the threads on this are full of 3rd party tool self promotion, that I frankly can't trust. I can't believe there isn't a sanctioned MSFT approach for this common problem.
Anyone with an official answer?

Hi
If you don’t want to purchase third party application, then you can follow manual steps of Microsoft. These steps really work to access OST file without any Exchange
server, but this take lot of time.
There is also some better solution that takes very small time period to recover OST database without spending money. SysTools release its
latest version of freeware OST to PST that convert 25 items per folder. Few feature are mentioned below-
Advance Scan Mode
Recover
OST Data (Mails, contacts, journal, to-do list) in tree like structure
Convert
OST in EML, MSG and PST
Preview Option
Selection
Facility
Split
