JExport cdf function working - but changing essbase files ?

Hello,
we finally managed to get CDF JEXPORT function running
(Link http://www.jasonwjones.com/?p=68 was very helpful)
now we scheduled daily exports to txtfiles and oracle database - it's running well - we scheduled to export every night from testdatabase and productiondatabase -
but I noticed, that it's now changing the essbase *.pag and *.ind files last-accessed-datestamps (not all of our 100 GB -but obviously those we fix the export to)
as we run daily incremental backups and essbase has to be offline during that time, this causes us several hours of offline time every night - because additional 50 GB of data have to be secured - the dataexport command does not change the files but jexport does
-> did anymody notice something like this ? jexport changing datestamps of *.pag and *.ind files ?
my common understanding is that an export is reading data and should not change files - as we want to export attributes we can not use dataexport command
of course I am aware of workarounds like: use dataexport command, do not export every day, buy a faster backupserver, run restructure so that the relevant data is in fewer datafiles - but still hoping that there is a better solution.

Hi,
thank you for being interested into the issue
we use the new essbase / hyperion planning / epm 11.1.2.1 64 bit on windows 2008 R2-
maybe you or somebody else has an idea or we really didn't see the easy way
what we need is a fast export of essbase data combined with alias member names and attribute member names
dataexport command seems not to allow to export essbase data combined with/sorted/fixed by attribute dimensions - we realized already that dataexport is much faster (15 min instead of 24 hours for the major export part - so we ended up with a combined approach already (it was already tricky to get jexport running exporting to oracle tables):
1 dataexport script (15 min runtime for all real essbase budget data using dataexport to file and 2 jexport scripts (5 min each), which we actually just use to derive the corresponding attribute dimension values for those of the 5000 members, which are used for budgeting in the selected planning scenario
We managed jexport to export to oracle database directly, while dataexport we managed only to export to file (so it needs another script to import into oracle database again)
Furthermore, we needed also the alias values of each member - which dataexport and jexport did not deliver - so we had to use sql statements to derive it from the hyperion planning application oracle tables hsp_object and hsp_alias
at the end, the result of the 3 calcscripts and the alias names from the hyperion planning oracle table have to be written to 2 txt files, which get delivered to SAP on daily basis - the reason why we ended up with such a wild mix of scripts is obviously that SAP and the other involved planning system defined the data to be delivered
as we have only 2 interfaces and 2 planning/essbase applications and limited financial budgets, it appeared too big effort to invest time into ODI (still open, what the cost of this would have been, if the scripts could be scheduled and would be fast)
all scripts are scheduled and run daily and are very reliable - with the only disadvantage, that the queried *.pag and *.ind (not all files change) files tend to change datestamp every night now.
I clearly identified jexport the root of it.
we managed outline extractor utility 11.1.2.0 running as well on 11.1.2.1 - but looks like this can not scheduled and allows only to export the pure value lists of attributes and members
the only thing i could test is placing the jexport script into a hyperion planning businessrule instead of an essbase calc script and exporting to textfile only (but I expect same result)
so the only remaining alternative might be to extract also the attribute dimension values (hsp_member_to_attribute) for our members from the hyperion planning oracle tables and combine them with our essbase data
so what we actually miss is an essbase dataexport command, which allows to export essbase data with attribute values and member names from alias tables directly into oracle tables (ok, to a flat file would be ok as well)

    Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
    Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

  • Every time I open a new illustrator file it says "print.ai" file unknown.  I can open previous work but no new files.  Any fixes?

    Every time I open a new illustrator file it says "print.ai" file unknown.  I can open previous work but no new files.  Any fixes?

    All nee AI files are based on document profiles, which are actually plain AI files.
    Print.ai is one of them. You may try and select a different profile to see if it's just the Print.ai
    But it may of course be all of them that somehow got corrupt.
    Could be that the files are corrupt or that Illustrator doesn't have access privileges.
    The files are located in your user folder. Find the exact location in this article:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/adobeillustrator/2009/05/startup_profiles_a_great_tool.html
    In case the files are completely corrupt you may try and rebuild the preferences or even do a complete reinstall.

  • Pause function works, but I loose soundTransform

    I am stumped on pausing a sound and keeping the volume sound transform on play again.  Pause works, but when I play again it plays correctly from pause position; however, the sound transform vol reverts to 1 (100%)
    //soundbed vars
    var mySound:Sound = new theme();
    var sndVol:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(0.2);
    var channel:SoundChannel = mySound.play(0,2,sndVol);
    /pause function
    musicOn_mc.musPause_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,togMus);
    function togMus(e:MouseEvent) {
    var pausePosition:int = channel.position;
        if (musOn) {
            channel.stop();
            musicOn_mc.musPause_mc.gotoAndStop("off");
            musOn = false;
        } else {
    //THIS IS THE PROBLEM
           channel = mySound.play(pausePosition);
            // ???? any idea how I would re-apply the sound transform?
    //END OF PROBLEM
            musicOn_mc.musPause_mc.gotoAndStop("on");
            musOn = true;
    Thanks

    If you look in the Help you will see that each time you call play a new channel object is created and assigned the variable - so you lose the old transform. You just need to reassign it...
    channel.soundTransform = sndVol;

  • Function works, but breaks used in Class

    I have this function I use over and over in my applications
    (Addins is but one item I have to do this to):
    private function doAddins():void {
    var _addIns:Array = [];
    var _len:uint = app._chosen2.length;
    for (var i:int=0; i<_len; i++) {
    var _m:String = app._chosen2
    .@sn;
    _addIns.push(_m);
    Where "_chosen2" is an ArrayCollection defined in the main
    application file. Obviously, it loops through this array collection
    and makes an array out of all the "sn" attributes. It works
    perfectly.
    So I figured I'd add it to my Utilities class file, as a
    static function, like:
    public static function getSNs(a:ArrayCollection):Array {
    var _arr:Array;
    var _len:uint = a.length;
    for (var i:int=0; i<_len; i++) {
    var _m:String = a.@sn;
    _arr.push(_m);
    return _arr;
    And then I call it like : Utitlies.getSNs(app._chosen2);
    But it bombs out with an error that I am trying to coerce an
    array out of an array collection. Why?

    In the second function, you are declaring the variable _arr
    as an Array, but you are not setting it. This could be part of it.
    var _arr:Array = new Array();

  • Dynamic line counter works but changes to all ones when saved.

    I am using
    this.rawValue = this.parent.parent.index + 1;
    to make a line counter and it seemed to have worked in past but through some changes I guess something broke. Now it works at first but when you save and re-opens, all lines are labeled as 1. Any one have any idea what this could be?

    I'm not sure why startMovie() is not firing. I have not encountered that issue before.
    Here is a workaround that might ensure that a #startMovie event is sent.
    Create a timeout object with a period of 0 and an object as its target. Since the timeout will never be triggered when the period is 0, the name of the timeout handler is unimportant
    Set the persistence of the timeout to TRUE
    All system events in Movie Scripts will now be called twice.
    You can create an empty movie and give it this Movie Script, to test:
    global gWrapper
    on enterFrame()
      if not gWrapper then
        gWrapper = script(1).create()
      end if
    end
    on startMovie(instance, timeOut)
      put instance, timeOut
    end
    on mouseUp()
      go movie the movie
    end
    on exitFrame()
      go the frame
    end
    -- TIMEOUT WRAPPER --
    on create(me)
      vTimeOut = timeOut().new("SystemEvents", 0, #nullHandler, me)
      vTimeOut.persistent = TRUE
      return true
    end create

  • Links working but changing colour when clicked

    Hi
    All my links in my sidebar are working fine i.e. they open the correct page. However, I want the background colour on hovering to be #999 and the links to be #009 when the page opens. The former is fine but when the page opens in any browser the links show up in a different colour even though they are the correct colour when viewed in Design or Live View.
    The css rule is set to background colour #999 and colour #009 but I can´t figure out where the other colour is coming from. Also, when I click on the links in the live browser on some pages they change and stay changed to the #009 colour even when I change page.
    You´ll see what I mean here www.theonlineenglishclass.com
    Thanks

    Sorry to keep on but I keep going back to your page and looking:
    Add this:
    color:#000099;
    to the rule I mentioned in the previous post.
    Your links will then apply the color you want to the text but I think it will then apply to the link in each state.

  • Re: Apex 3.0 Insert Function Works, but records can't be found

    i have an existing application that I created with Apex 3.0. It allows users to search for records using several different criteria and it allows them to update records.
    I added functionality that allows the user to insert a new record. The insert allows user to populate a dozen fields,. Behind the scenes it uses triggers to get the next value for the key and to set the update time stamp and user id. It also sets a flag that is used in the select query.
    The insert works fine. Whenever I add a record, I can view it using SQL developer.
    However if I try to search for a record that was inserted using the application, the application never finds the record.
    In SQL developer I run the same query that application runs. I always get the records that were added.
    If I compare records that were added by using the application with existing records on the table, the data looks similar.
    Any thoughts ?
    thanks

    yep
    I got it working that way
    The select query allows users to enter search criteria into text boxes. It also allows them to select a field from a list of values
    (lower(lastname) like '%' || lower(:P5_NAME) || '%')
    AND (lower(address) like '%' || lower(:P5_ADDRESS) || '%')
    AND (lower(title) like '%' || lower(:P5_TITLE) || '%')
    AND (lower(phone) like '%' || lower(:P5_PHONE) || '%')
    AND deptNo = decode(:P5_DEPT,'%null%',TRIM(lvl01),:P5_DEPT)
    I took these apart and tried the search criteria separately
    What I discovered was that for the list of values I had to add "or is Null"
    (lower(lastname) like '%' || lower(:P5_NAME) || '%')
    AND (lower(address) like '%' || lower(:P5_ADDRESS) || '%')
    AND (lower(title) like '%' || lower(:P5_TITLE) || '%')
    AND (lower(phone) like '%' || lower(:P5_PHONE) || '%')
    AND (deptNo = decode(:P5_DEPT,'%null%',TRIM(lvl01),:P5_DEPT)
    or deptNo is null)
    It works fine now, thanks

  • The keyboard functions work but fails to display in Windows 7

    I have the recent 15 inch, i7 Macbook Pro (2.2 GHz version). I had no problem installing Windows 7 using Bootcamp and have updated the Bootcamp after the installation via Apple Update.
    To clarify, what I mean by that is all the functions such as volume control, eject, and brightness control from the keyboard works. However, at the beginning of the bootcamp install, I was able to see the icons pop up on the display. Now, there are no icons anymore. I now have Windows 7 Professional SP1, and have my suspicion on the Windows update. Any ideas?

    Well...  this is what I found out and what I did to "fix" my problem.  First my situation was that I had 2 drives, a lite-on blu-ray rom drive that was supposed to basically read anything, and a pioneer blu-ray burner.  I was going to use the rom drive to do my reading and reserve the burner for just that, burning.  What I found out, because Encore would freeze when loading, was that Adobe uses a Roxio routine to go out and get the information about all the drive in the environment to know how to use said drive(s) for this session.  The Roxio routines hang in an endless loop, for me, on the rom drive.  When I go into device manager and disable the rom drive, Encore loads just fine and I can master... whatever, and burn or create ISO images and go on my merry way.  When done, I can re-enable the drive and use it as intended except for trying to use it in Encore.
    This happens in CS3, CS4, CS5, and I think I tried it in CS5.5.  Roxio never has "fixed" the problem.
    My fix to fix the problem.. I replaced the blu-ray rom drive with another pioneer burner.  Turns out the new drive was a newer version.  So I moved the older version pioneer to the lower drive letter and use it as the reader drive for anything and setup the newer pioneer drive as my burner drive.  Encore loads with both drives enabled, I can master anything, and eveything works fine.  I've given up trying to have a rom drive for "just reading".
    Also, given up testing to see if Roxio has ever "fixed" thier init routines for Encore.  It always works this way with 2 burners on my system.  One I use as a "reader" all the time which is also my backup burner and one as my "production" burner. And BTW, I usually build on ISO image with Encore and use Image Burn to burn my multiple copies output.
    This is my "fix"!!

  • How do you make the 'places' function work in iphoto

    `i have just imported a lot of old photos from my 2007 macbook onto a new macbook pro with ilife 09. `i am trying to make the places function work but can't get it to work. The 'i' icon does not appear in the bottom right hand corner of the events main photo as it's supposed too. Any suggestions?

    Simply open an event; select 1 or more photos and select the i in the lower right corner of a photo thumbnail. You will get the Geocoding window. Start typing the address/place/country in the location area. For detailed addresses you select new place. You can resize the window. Maps from google appears and you select the place it finds. You can even drag the pin to a specific area. Press ok and your done.

  • I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function works

    I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function, render workspace function, export file are still operational. How can I fix it so I may complete my assignment?
    Besides DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Creative Suite 6 is the only software on the machine. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Operating System on AMD FX 6100 six-Core Processor at 3.31gHz and 32 GB RAM memory. There are two SLI-bridged GTX680 NVidia cards.
    The software was very stable for the last six months, working with 720P proxy files from 2.5K masters (Blackmagic Design Camera). I am working on a feature-length project that exceeds 1000 edits. I have broken the file into 2 one hour segments.
    I have deactivated the software before reinstalling the entire OS from scratch. PP6 was very stable for 48 hours. Then the freezing space bar returns. After a dozen strokes into the project, same problem.  I have made cache files store next to originals, I have deleted preview files if they were corrupted and causing instability. Am I missing something?
    I have Microsoft Security Essentials for virus protection. I double checked the memory for damage/defect. Nothing says that the motherboard or other components are damaged.
    I am in film competition overseas and need to have deliverables in less than a month's time.  I lost the last two weeks troubleshooting and this crisis came at an inopportune moment of the project.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Still getting software freezes but found a way to mitigate for the mean time.
    Upon launching Adobe Premiere Pro, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to launch TaskManager as well.
    You will want to highlight Adobe QT32 Server.exe
    Right click and select "End Process Tree"
    You will get considerable stability in the program, long enough to get timing of cuts done. Be sure to save often.
    If the program freezes, do not hit Save. You definitely want to avoid saving the corruption into your TimeLine
    CTRL-ALT-DEL to relaunch the TaskManager and highlight Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
    Right-click to "End Process"
    No need to reboot the whole system; just launch Premiere Pro again and continue with the session. Note that your work reverted to Last Save.
    Hope this helps until the bug is fixed.
