Multiple EPMA Engine Manager

Hi All,
We're using EPMA to manage dimensions in several ASO and Planning applications. Currently we are having problems with deployment due to a large number of members in the Entity dimensions (100k including alt hierachies). I'm looking for a way to load balance EPMA to minimize deployment failure. So far, I've vertical cluster (add 1 more JVM) to the EPMAWebServer component running on Oracle AS. However, this is still not sufficient since deployment kept failing which will only work after several server restarts. In the installation docs, I found out that it's possible to install Engine Manager on a separate server. Does anyone know if this will help with our performance / deployment issue? Also, are there specific installation steps for this? I can't seem to find anything in the installation docs. We're running EPMA 11.1.1.3.
Regards,
Gerd

This is possible.You have to configure two connection points pointing to each of them. The TAFR has to be configured to Subscribe from one of them and publish to another.
Please give more information on your requirement. What difficulty you are facing on doing so?

EPMA process manager service is not starting

Hi gurus,
I'm working on Hyperion v-11.1.1.3 and in that i'm not able to start the EPMA process manager.It is throwing an error message as
The Hyperion EPM Architect - ProcessManager service on local Computer started and then stopped
Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the performance Logs and Alerts Service.
When checking in the dimension server logs/eventvwr it is showing the following error message. But some times it is showing 1053 error message that-the process manager is not starting in a timely etc..

If it is related to Oracle client issue then where can we find out the installed oracle client in the server?
Thanks in advance

Hi John,
Thanks for the information..i have checked and came to know that the db server is down.
It is working fine now.
Could you please let me know..what all the services will not be available if Process manager service is not started?
Thanks in advance

Multiple Apple ID management

I would like to get a little more info on how Apple envisions multiple Apple ID management in families and businesses.
When the IDs first appeared, they were just used to buy equipment. Since the value of the purchase was a tangible physical object, the purchase method didn't matter much. When iTunes started selling tracks, ID management became a bit more of an issue, but since the amounts involved were small and the purchases were usually personal, it wasn't a big deal. Now with the app store and more expensive purchase of both professional and personal nature, it becomes rather complicated.
Here are a few scenarios:
A business where the equipment, OS and software are tied to a business account, but the employee can use his personal account to sync his music, iOS apps, etc.
A household where the parents handle the hardware/software, but the kids have their own individual music/iApp allowance.
When I purchase a 3-license program from a software manufacturer, I can install it on any 3 machines, regardless how they were purchased. but with the app store, they must all be linked to one Apple ID.
On a related note, can you transfer a license for an app purchased in the app store (aka sell used software)?

Thanks Dah-veed.
I'm fully aware that this is a user forum, but often you get better answers from users than from Apple.
I was curious to see how other people with multiple computers/multiple users manage their Apple IDs.
To answer my own question, it's possible to install a purchased app on "any*" computer using the Apple ID used to make the purchase. So the computer does not need to be exclusively linked to an Apple ID. (* other terms restrict which computers. So the EULA is more restrictive that the technical limitations)
http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html (about 2/3 down) explains a little better what the use restrictions are and what Apple means by "own and control":
MAC APP STORE PRODUCT USAGE RULES
Except as otherwise set forth herein,
You may download and use an application from the Mac App Store (“Mac App Store Product”) for personal, non-commercial use on any Apple-branded products running Mac OS X (“Mac Computer”) that you own or control.
(ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download a Mac App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on each of the Mac Computer(s) used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals on a single shared Mac Computer that you own or control. For example, a single employee may use a Mac App Store Product on both the employee’s desktop Mac Computer and laptop Mac Computer, or multiple students may serially use a Mac App Store Product on a single Mac Computer located at a resource center or library. For the sake of clarity, each Mac Computer used serially by multiple users requires a separate license.
(iii) Use may require sign-in with the Apple ID used to download the Mac App Store Product from the Mac App Store. Mac App Store Products can be updated through the Mac App Store only.
And further down:
This license granted to you for the Licensed Application by Licensor is limited to a nontransferable license to use the Licensed Application...
Not being able to resell software is a big drawback for more expensive programs. License transfers have long been accepted by major software developers. The process is not worth the trouble for a cheap app, but when you have $1000 apps, you want to keep that option open. SO I'd think twice before buying an expensive app from the Mac app store.

Multiple Standalone Persistence Manager Servers in a single JVM?

Greetings [Kodo 3.4.1, Oracle9i]
I am currently working on introducing the Kodo Standalone Persistence
Manager Server into our architecture. One issue is that our application
accesses several different databases, each via a separate
PersistenceManagerFactory. This would mean (I think) that I would need to
start a separate Standalone PM Server for every database, which would mean
about 10 different JVMs running, just for the required Standalone PM
Servers...
The question... Will it be possible and sensible to run multiple
"Standalone" Persistence Manager Servers within a single JVM? The idea
would be for me to write a threaded server, where each of my threads invokes
kodo.jdbc.runtime.StartPersistenceManagerServer.run(someJDBCConf), where I
provide a JDBCConfiguration for each database I want to connect to. This
means that my server will effectively be listening for clients on several
different ports and accessing several databases all from within the same
JVM.
Is this feasible? Anyone with access to the source, can you say that the
StartPersistenceManagerServer.run() method may be safely run in several
different threads?
I suppose another option would be to use the HTTP Persistence Manager Server
and then simply deploy 10 servlets, one per database... But I'm trying to
avoid introducing a servlet container into the mix.
Thanks
Drew

Hi Marcus and thanks...
Yes, I want to use Remote Persistence Managers. Currently we have a 2-Tier
application, but we need to introduce a 3rd tier to be able to use the
DataCache. If we don't do this, then each running application will have
it's own DataCache, which will not "see" changes in other running
application DataCaches. I have tried to attach a "before" and "after"
diagram to illustrate...
Now if we extend this a bit further, and say that instead of just one
database, our application actually needs to access 10 different databases
(so 10 different PersistenceManagerFactories and 10 different DataCaches),
then hopefully it is clear that we would then need 10 separate Standalone
Persistence Manager Servers. I have attempted to attach another diagram to
illustrate.
I don't really want to start up 10 Remote PM servers, I would rather just
have one server, which brings me back to my original question... Can I run
them all in a single JVM?
Cheers and thanks
Drew

Hi,
I believe this happens when you have a problem with your datasources or instances, if you have two conflicting ones then the process manager will not start up.
Can you check your planning instances and datasources and remove any duplicates or ones that could be conflicting.

Running multiple Crystal engines

Hello,
Currently, we have an application that has worked quite well with multiple crystal engines installed. A client can have a report that exports as they expect in say Crystal Reports 10 and also create new reports against Crystal Reports 11 (or Release 2). The client specifies (within a table in the our DB) which version of crystal to use with a given report and we have a report engine factory that returns the appropriate crystal engine to use for processing the report.
Now the problem...
I recently brought down the trial version of Crystal Reports 2008 and have attempted to create a .NET factory to deliver this report engine. If I only have Crystal Reports 2008 accessed from our application, it will work as expected (for the most part - some features from the RDC no longer exist - but that is another story). As soon as I attempt to run a report that requires a different crystal engine, the next engine in always fails.
For example, if I run a Crystal 11 report after a successful Crystal 2008 report I will receive an "Invalid TLV record" error during the call of the "OpenReport" method. At first I thought this was a possible bug in my code, but if I do the opposite (run the Crystal 11 report first then Crystal 2008), the Crystal 11 report will work without problems and then a Crystal 2008 report I will receive the error "Retrieiving the COM class factory for component with CLSID XXX failed due to the following error: 80000003" during the "OpenReport" method.
Has anyone else experience this problem? If so, is there a way to work around it?
Thanks in advance any help you can provide,
Tom

Jason,
Thanks for the response!
OK, so I still think this is a problem and I've proven it by only writing .NET code. Here is what I did. I created three C# projects within a solution:
1. A Crystal 11 Release 2 project that simply implements an interface that has three methods on it (OpenReport, RecordSelectionFormula, and CloseReport). This project implements the .NET Crystal objects from Crystal 11 Release 2).
2. A Crystal 2008 project that simply implements an interface that has three methods on it (OpenReport, RecordSelectionFormula, and CloseReport). This project implements the .NET Crystal objects from Crystal 2008).
3. A Windows project that simply calls on both of the above projects (both are referenced in this project) and calls "OpenReport", then "RecordSelectionCriteria" (in a MessageBox), and finally "CloseReport".
"OpenReport" - uses ReportDocument.Load.
"CloseReport" - uses ReportDocument.Close - extremely slow process!!!
"RecordSelectionFormula" - uses ReportDocument.RecordSelectionFormula (my interface implements a set/get)
As you can see I'm using NO COM at all. When running this test project, I get the "Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID XXX failed due to the following error: 80000003." error even in this case.
Below is an example of the "Windows project" code. I have the entire example in a zip file that I can deliver to someone if they want to see exactly what I'm talking about. I just didn't see a way to attach the example zip file with this post.
=====================================================================
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace TestProj
    static class Program
        /// <summary>
        /// The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>

        static void Main()
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            try
                TestProj.CrystalEngine crystal11Release2 = new CrystalEngine();
                crystal11Release2.OpenReport("Place your report name here...");
                MessageBox.Show(crystal11Release2.RecordSelectionForumla);
                crystal11Release2.CloseReport();
                // You will see this error with a COM error even though no COM is being used in the project???
                TestProj.Crystal2008 crystal2008 = new Crystal2008();
                crystal2008.OpenReport("Please your report name here...");
                MessageBox.Show(crystal2008.RecordSelectionForumla);
                crystal2008.CloseReport();
            catch (Exception excep)
                MessageBox.Show(excep.Message);
            Application.Exit();
=====================================================================
Just to reiterate, I have no COM implemented in this example and yet the same problem occurs.
Any assistance with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Tom

I have reconfigured, retyping the correct user and password many times now. I can log into the database from the server using SQL Plus with no issues. If anyone has an idea of what could be wrong, I would really appreciate the help.

I had the DBA create me a new empty database user. I ran the config tool again using this user/pwd and selected first time configuration of database. This finished successfully, 213 objects were created in the database. When I try to start the dimension server, I am still getting the ORA-1017 error.

Multiple EPMA

Hi to all
we're wondering if anybody has experience with partitioning/segmenting EPMA Dimension library visibility.
We need to delegate to our customers the redeploy of planning applications: basically they add new dimension members in the interface tables and then they need to update the dimension library. last of all, they redeploy the application.
Not all of our customers should see nor use alle the dimension library but unfortunatly there is no ACL rights specification available INSIDE dimension and application libraries.
So:
1) do you know a way to achieve this result?
if the only isolation level availabe is at EPMA level:
2) can multiple EPMA be installed on the same amchine? I believe not
3) can we install EPMA on multiple machines (maybe VMs) anche register ALL OF THEM with the same Shared Services and workspace?
and finally
4) do you have any reference/hint/api to help us automate user tasks so that our customers can deal with a custom jsp page (which hides the EPMA workflow) instead of logging into epma (a private administrator account would then be used to execute jobs) ?
thank you all
Virgilio

Hi,
I dont think this is possible.
What you can do though is create your app in Prod and then use the flat file generator to export your app to text file and recreate it in your dev environment. Its not too difficult.
You could also try using the CopyApplication utility.

Only Yahoo and Bing appear in the search box and the Search engine manager only shows them too.

No matter what I try, only Yahoo and Bing search engines appear in the search box top right on Firefox. The Search engine manager only shows these two engines as well. I want to add Goggle and have not been able to. The default restore in the Search engine Manager is "Greyed out". What can I do to fix this ?

If those search engines are also missing in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) then a (re)install should restore them.
If they are present then try to delete search.sqlite and search.json in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Multiple Adapter engines

Can anyone confirm if XI 2.0 supports multiple Adapter Engines on different hosts?
Thanks

Yes, the XI 2.0 supports multiple adapter engines.
Only the RFCAdapter should be installed on the XI 2.0 Integration Server engine, but all other adapters can run locally on the business systems for example.
Best regards, Silvia

Can JWS be used as a multiple Java version management tool?

WinNT4 WKS with JRE 1.3.1 - 1.4.2 loaded on it using IExplorer or Netscape.
We don't have a need for the JWS download features because our clients (and their applications) remain static for the most part. However, we do require multiple JRE version support because our customers have written class/objet "fixes" (mostly for text rendering) and these fixes break if you try and run the application on a different version of Java from which it was written. Basically, we can't have a default JRE on each machine and hope that it will work with all customer applications. So we will load all necessary Java components on our workstations (in this case JRE versions 1.3.1 - 1.4.2). I know that browsers can be forced to load with a specific Plug-in version (providing it exists on the machine) through Object & Embed tags in the HTML and that standalone apps can be directed to the correct Java directory path. My question is, can JWS automatically identify the Java requirements of our customers applications and act simply as a multi-version management tool to provide the right JRE/Plug-In for either standalone or browser applications? Keeping in mind that all the JREs will be loaded on the workstions and it won't need to download any components from some site.
I've noticed that JWS identifies all JREs loaded on a machine in the Java tab so I'm wondering if it can "switch" the environment as needed for each application.
Does anyone know if I can use JWS in the scenario I described above? Thanks!

JWS can manage the multiple JREs installed if you run the application through a .jnlp. This can not "switch" the default JRE. It runs the application specified in the .jnlp using the requested version specified in the .jnlp.
JWS does not apply to applets. You should use the object tags as you mentioned below.
...can JWS automatically identify the Java requirements of our customers applications
No. You must determine this and setup the .jnlp appropriately.

EPMA Prcess Manager not starting

Hi John,
I had gone thru the document you mentioned in the other post and increased the DimensionServerStartTime from 600 to 1200 and also to 1800 later but i am encountering the following error.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion
Please let me know what to be done

Hyperion EPMA Server service does not start and displays an error "Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs" when trying to start the service . This issue occurs only in Windows 2008 server.
The event viewer logs will have the following entry
Service cannot be started. Hyperion.dimensionserver.Interface.Exceptions. EPMAServiceException:Cannot initialize the session Manager. -->System.Net.SocketException:No Connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:5255
Changes
This problem occurs in an IPv6 enabled server.
Cause
When IPv6 is enabled on the EPMA server, the "Hyperion EPMA Server" service starts a process called EPMA_NetJNIBridge which communicates using IPv6. The problem is that the "Hyperion EPMA Server" is only listening using IPv4.
Solution
This issue has been identified as a code bug in 11.1.2.1.00 and is currently scheduled to be fixed in 11.1.2.2.000.
As a temporary solution, add the IPv6 loopback address to the host file on the server.
Example:
::1 localhost
::1 is the IPv6 loopback address. It is the IPv4 equivelent of "127.0.0.1 localhost"
Cheers

Package has multiple "SMS Distribution Manager" entries on DP it is not published to.

I have an issue with packages seeming to deploy to DPs they are not being published to.
We have an aging SCCM 2007 system, which is currently being wound down, so we can migrate to Config Manager 2012.
The 2007 system currently has 3 servers acting as DPs - one for general software distribution (DP1), one for OSD deployments (DP2) and one for Patch Deployment (DP3).
DP settings for each package are configured so that general software packages are only published to DP1, all packages related to OSD are only published to DP2, and all Software Updates packages are only published to DP3.
For historical reasons, DP1 is also a secondary site server, however, this now manages site boundaries for the full estate, prior to migration to SCCM 2012
I have just returned from a very pleasant annual leave to find that DP1 is flooded with site status messages for the SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER component; these are repetitions of the same three messages:
"SMS Distribution Manager is beginning to process package ..."
"SMS Distribution Manager is starting to distribute package ..."
"SMS Distribution Manager successfully processed package ..."
The package in question is an OS Image, which is only published to DP2. I am at a loss to understand why it is continually trying to publish to DP1 (over 33,000 entries for this component as I write this)
Note that these messages are "information" level messages, not errors, but are causing the Site Status for DP1 to continually "red flag"
Are there any logs etc I can check on this server to debug and diagnose why this rogue package is trying to process itself on this server? And any steps I can take to kill this?
Thanks
Stan

Looking at the error message "The Network Adapter could not establish the connection" , It appears hostname and port may be incorrect. Review the targets.xml under E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\SAP_solman_SDB\emd and
emoms.properties under E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\SAP_solman_SDB\config folder to make sure host ( sap_solman) and port (1527) are correct.
As far as setting the environment variables goes, you can go to control panel -> system -> advanced -> environment variables and set the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID

Multiple adapter engine URL's found

Hello,
In the integration directory, when we tried to add a communication channel or change a currently existing communication channel we get an error " Attempt to determine which Adapter Engines are affected by data changes failed". We did a cache refresh and in AE runtime cache we find the AE name changed to "CA" with a new adapter engine name. The default was "AE" with the adpater name blank. Also in the cache notification of ID there is an "Unknown error" in red and in the cache instance we find 2 adapter engine instances.
Where can we find the actual adapter engine set up for the integration server ?? and How can we revert back to the original settings??
Any help is appreciated.
