Multiple Facts at the same report

Hello gurus,
How can I use multiple facts at the same report using OBIEE 10g?
I followed the instructions of this website but it's not working...
http://obibb.wordpress.com/2010/05/31/multiple-fact-reporting-on-non-conforming-dimensions/
Physical Model:
ASSET (DIMENSION)  ------------ ASSET (FACT) ----------------- PERSON (DIMENSION) ----------------- CAMPAIGN (FACT) ---------------- CAMPAIGN (DIMENSION)
Business Model:
ASSET (DIM) ---------------- FACT ------------------- CAMPAIGN (DIM)
                           (ASSET - CAMPAIGN)
                                        |
                                        |
                                        |
                                        |
                              PERSON (DIM)
Asset and Campaign: Non conformed Dimensions;
Person: Conformed Dimension;
Note that I want to use at my report some asset and campaign informations to answer questions like:
Wich assets were created after the campaign launch? or List of asset by person and campaigns.
Is it possible to do? I'm trying to change all kinds of column levels (Total/Detail) and it keeps sending an error like:
"Internal error: No matching table for expr Fact_W_CAMP_HIST_F_Teste.SOURCE_WID, File server/Query/Optimizer/SmartScheduler/PhysicalRequestGenerator/Src/SQOSPSimplifyJoin.cpp, line 118."
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
Thank you for your help.
Now I'm getting this error: "None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request Fact.SOURCE_WID". ---> Fact.CAMPAIGN_WID
I'm actually not sure about the behaviour of the content tab. As I understood, I must use Total for non-conformed dimensions and detail for conformed, right?
In this case I have:
ASSET (DIMENSION)  ------------ ASSET (FACT) ----------------- PERSON (DIMENSION) ----------------- CAMPAIGN (FACT) ---------------- CAMPAIGN (DIMENSION)
So, at Asset (FACT) content tab I have to set detail for Asset (DIM) and Person (DIM) and total for Campaign (DIM).
At Campaign (FACT) content tab I have to set detail for Campaign (DIM) and Person (DIM) and total for Asset (DIM).
But at the columns, if I set detail for Campaign(DIM) as total, all the other columns will show only Campaign at content tab. Why is it happening?
My requeriment measure is like:
SUM(CASE WHEN Asset.Date1 BETWEEN Campaign.DateA and Campaign.DateB AND Asset.Product = Campaign.Product and Asset.Status  = 'Active' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
How can I do this using person as conformed dimension?
Thanks,
Ramon Cortez

  • Comparing fields from multiple entities in the same report (report builder 1.0)

    Created a model that contains 2 entities. I open that model in report builder 1.0.  When I drag a field from one of the entities into the design area, i can no longer see the other entity or use any of the fields from that other entity. 
    I need to use fields from both entities in the same report (join tables).  In management studio i would simply write a query and join tables but i cannot figure out how to do this in report builder.  Once i select a field from one entity
    how do i select fields from more than one entity and drag them into the same report.

    Would it be possible for you to send me instructions for this? I am not that familiar with SQL coding but I can definitely figure it out. I have been wanting to get information on reports from multiple entities for a very long time! The only way I can
    currently do it is have our document management software people write the report for me for quite a large fee. I would much rather do this myself. Right now I can select a few fields from one entity (the main one), some from a second entity under that one,
    but I cannot add any fields from a third entity! Quite annoying and hindering! Thank you :)

  • Run a query multiple times in the same report for different nodes in Hier

    Hi,
    I have created a query as per my requirements. But my issue is I need to run the report for all the profit centers in a hierarchy. Right now I enter a node value of the hierarchy in the variable and I get the result. But I want to run it for each node in the hierarchy and display the result in the same report.Is it possible to do so in web using information broadcaster or any BI 7.0 tools. Has anyone done similar to this in web. I would prefer the web route rather than the excel but if excel is the only answer I will follow the excel path.
    Looking forward to your suggestions on this.
    Thanks,
    Kal

    Hello Kal,
    if the number of Profit Centers is limited, you could probably work with query views (one for each PC) and include all these into your Web Template.
    If this is not appropriate, I don´t know if there is any way of programming possible.

  • Correcting Multiple Schedules on the Same Report

    Hi Created a report and scheduled it to run daily at 8am. Works Great. two months later a change is requested I make the change and republish the report, but fail to schedule it for the same time. Now I have the same report with the same name scheduled and running to the end user twice daily - 8 am and 2pm. she only wants to see it once a day. Furthermore I have another change request for the report which I have made and am now ready to republish and reschedule version 3.
    Is it possible to remove the Scheduling jobs for the first two versions, but preserve the 100+ instances in the infoview folder that she may still want to access, and also publish the 3rd version and schedule it for 8am and keep them all as the same name and make it appear seamless to the end user?

    Hi ,
    Log in to CMC and Navaigate to the scheduled report   then select the report and see the History of teh Report . from the History select the previous versions of the Scheduled jobs from the list click on the actions and delete .

  • Display multiple records as sub-sections in the same report.

    I am using Crystal Reports (VS-2005).
    In a report, I have various sub-sections in the Details section. Each section represents a category and is connected with SQL command which uses LEFT OUTER JOIN.
    The first section is the main section and the subsequent sections are the child sections.
    Sometimes, a sub-section (other than the first main sub-section) picks multiple records of that category. In this case the report extends to multiple pages. Each report displays one record of this sub-section.
    I want to show the the same sub-section multiple times in the same report as opposed to multiple reports that are now automatically generated by Crystal Reports.
    How to handle this issue?

    This is a .NET programming forum related to Crystal Reports. Your question is best suited for our report design forum below. Also, when you post your question it will be helpful if you use report design terminology. We have elements like Report Header, Page Header, Groups, and Details sections. Just mentioning "sections" doesn't give us a good idea about what you are attempting to do.
    Check out the grouping options and see if it helps. You might need to create a formula to help you with your grouping though.
    If you like, I can move this to the design forum.

  • Multiple Details Sections in the same report

    I'm trying to take two different columns from a fact table, and display them in one column on the report. So I'll then have the charge quantities (grouped and summarized) listed above the charge amounts (grouped and summarized) across months (columns).
    Is there any way to have multiple detail sections in the same report, something like below? I tried sub reporting, but you can't subreport a subreport. I also tried cross tabs, but they're not flexible enough in the groupings I'm looking for.
    Report Header
    Group Heading 1
    Details
    Group Footing 1
    Group Heading 1
    Details
    Group Footing 1
    Report Footer
    Thanks!!

    Hi,
    Inorder to create new  Group Header sections like Group Header a and Group Header b.There are two options
    ->In the design mode of the crystal reports,Rt.click on the Group Header section-Choose insert section below
    OR
    ->From the Expert tool bar->select the Selection Expert,choose the Group Header->click insert button

  • Fact table with 2 time keys, measures showing together in the same report

    Hello,
    I am using OBI EE and I have the following scenario: a fact table hold information about enquiries. An enquiry may or may not generate an appointment. So in my fact table I have two date columns: enquiry date and appointment booked date (not the date of the appointment itself, but when it was actually booked).
    This raises a couple of questions. First question is: I can only have one logical FK to the Times table, how to create two LFKs for those 2 dates? Should I create a logical copy of the Times table in the BMM, along with another time dimension?
    Second question is how to display both pieces of data in the same report. For instance, in a summary report per month I want to see the number of enquiries made and appointments booked in each month. Most likely they will be different numbers and refer to different rows in the database. What is the best way to model this in the BMM?
    For instance, in October there were 10 enquiries, 8 of them were converted into appointments along with 3 enquires made in September. So, the report should show for October: number of enquires: 10, number of appointments: 11 (8 from October + 3 from September)
    Sorry if this is a basic question but I couldn't find around any examples of this scenario.
    Thanks,
    Luis

    Genius, that works perfectly, thanks!
    Just one issue that I noticed... I have other dimensions on that fact table, one of them is "channel". Channel is linked to a column in the original fact table, as is Number of Enquiries.
    If I include Channel in a report that shows Number of Enquiries and Number of Appointments, the Number of Appointments column only shows zeros, while the Number of Enquiries column still shows the correct numbers:
    Month    Channel   Enquiries   Appointments
    Jan 09   Email      100           0
             Phone      120           0
    Feb 09   Email       87           0
    ...Then I figured out that I needed to add a PFK for all dimensions to the aliased fact table, not only for the times dimension.
    Thanks again

  • Adding multiple subreports from the same file to the same report

    I've created a report.  This reports needs to have a number of charts.  Each chart is the same report with different values for parameters. 
    The code works, except all charts reflect the parameter value provided to last call to SetParameterValue. How can I make sure each subreport behaves as a separate instance?
    string chartReportPath = AppSettings.ReportsFolder + "ProgramCountry-Chart.rpt";
                ReportClientDocumentWrapper doc = (ReportClientDocumentWrapper)report.ReportClientDocument;
    string chartName = "Chart" + chartCount++;
    CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.Section detailSection = doc.ReportDefController.ReportDefinition.DetailArea.Sections[0];
    SubreportClientDocument subReport = doc.SubreportController.ImportSubreportEx(chartName, chartReportPath, detailSection,0,detailSection.Height+10,-1,-1);
                ReportDocument subreportDoc = report.OpenSubreport(chartName);
                    report.SetParameterValue("@MyParam, myValue, chartName);

    Hi Brian,
    The parameter collection is global, so if you set it for one it's going to be set for all. You need to manage the subreport links, which holds the parameters.
    Or when you add the subreport you also need to add a parameter with a new name and set the value accordingly in the Parameter collection.
    Sorry i don't have any sample code for this work flow.

  • How to support multiple users at the same time?

    Hi all,
    I have a Labview software which controls a analyzer via GPIB connector. When user A is using the software, user B has to wait until A is done. But actually, the analyzer is not very busy, when user A is using the software.
    I want user A, B, C and D can use the software at the same time. just like we can open Multiple websites at the same time.
    How can I program the software, so that the software can be open multiple times? Do you have any example?
    Thanks a lot.

    Are all the users going to be measuring the exact same thing from the same instrument?
    It would be possible to write a separate instrument server application that would handle all the direct interactions with the instrument. When one of the users needed to access the instrument, they would gain access to it through this server.
    The big, Big, BIG caveat is that each interaction with the instrument would need to be atomic. In other words each access would need to configure the instrument, initiate the reading, report the results, and then reset the instrument back to some known default value.

  • Multiple devices with the same GUID

    Hi,
    According to the Zenworks Command line utilities reference https://www.novell.com/documentation...a/bb15p2z.html
    There exists an option to register a device with a new GUID by doing the following...
    register (reg) [-g] [-k <key>] [-u <username> -p <password] <ZENworks Server addressort>
    Registers the device in a Management Zone.
    You can use the following options:
    g - Lets you create a new device object with a new GUID and password for the device if you have multiple devices with the same GUID. When you register a device by using this switch, all the associations (policies and bundles) assigned to the original device object are removed. You cannot use this option to create a new GUID for a Primary Server or a Satellite device. The local user must have Local Administrator rights to use this option.
    I would like to know if it is possible to have such a command line option for the agent installation. So built into the agent installer, a command line option to force the agent to register with a new GUID.
    We are having CONTINUOUS problems with the above scenario. When we move devices from one computer lab to another and re-image the device, Zenworks keps trying to assign the same GUID to the device and this mixes up our Dynamic Workstation groups, which then affect the applicable policies to each device.
    I would like to know if there is an option to tell the installer to stop remembering the GUID and simply register the device with a new guid on agent installation.
    This way we can build that into the post imaging scripts which install the zenworks agent.

    Hi Craig,
    OK, I've had a look at the ZCM Reconcile rules and run a few tests to see if it is possible to get the machines not to reconcile (use a new GUID after imaging).
    As I have explained before, sometimes this result is desired in our case especially when we move machines around from lab to lab.
    So far, no matter what configuration I use, I cannot get Zenworks to generate a new GUID for a device that is getting re-imaged (without doing so only after the fact by unregistering the machine and reregistering the machine via the zac und and zac reg -g).
    We use dynamic workstation groups to assign policies and bundles to machines so reconciling the devices is not necessary most of the time. We need an option to tell the machine to register with a new GUID on installation of the agent. Surely such an option can be built into the agent installer?
    The options in the ZCM config management "reconcile settings" I tested with are:
    Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
    Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
    Machine Name - Unticked/Unselected
    Enable Differentiation - Unticked/Unselected
    I then also tested:
    Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
    Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
    Machine Name - Ticked/Selected
    Enable Differentation - Ticked/Selected
    and also:
    Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
    Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
    Machine Name - Ticked/Selected
    Enable Differentation - Unticked/Unselected
    With all three different configurations, I re-imaged the same machine, which renames the machine via the first post imaging installation script to match the DNS name. Thereafter the Zenworks agent gets installed, which then renames the machine back to what it was registered into the Zenworks database with on first installation.
    We need a method of telling Zenworks NOT to reconcile when we want it to. It should not reconcile every time and thereby rename the machine netBIOS name.
    Is there any way to achieve this?

    The same thing could apply if bringing in new Hardware.
    If a new computer were to replace an old computer but the name stayed the same, everything could be automatic depending on the rules setup.
    It is all a matter of how you tell ZCM to reconcile devices.
    The Help in the ZCC under these items should explain how it works so you can setup your rules to meet your use cases.

  • Multiple instances of the same bean class in session?

    I�m trying to think of a way to have multiple instances of the same bean class in session scope using JSF. For example, let�s say that I have two <h:dataTable>s on the same page. They both use the backing bean called genericBean. Now, the content for genericBean will be different for each <h:dataTable>. In fact, the data source that backs genericBean is not known until runtime. It could be a database, web service, etc.
    What I would like is for when JSF needs access genericBean instead of looking for the value with key �genericBean� in the session map it looks for �genericBean_[some runtime ID]�. I could specify this id in EL on a custom component, as a request parameter or whatever.
    I think that I need the bean to be in session scope because the tables are complex and I want them to be editable.
    I have some ideas about how I can do this but I was wondering if someone has already solved this problem or if there is a standard way to do this using tools like Shale, etc.
    Thanks,
    Randy

    Well, I came up with an interesting solution to this so I thought that I would post it here.
    I have a page that looks like this.
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>My Page</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <f:view>
    <f:subview id="component1">
    <jsp:include page="component.jsp">
    <jsp:param name="id" value="a" />
    </jsp:include>
    </f:subview>
    <hr>
    <f:subview id="component2">
    <jsp:include page="component.jsp">
    <jsp:param name="id" value="b" />
    </jsp:include>
    </f:subview>
    </f:view>
    </body>
    </html>
    And component.jsp looke like this.
    <f:verbatim>
    <p>
    <h1>Component
    </f:verbatim>
    <h:outputText value=" #{param.id}" />
    <f:verbatim>
    </h1>
    </p>
    </f:verbatim>
    <h:form>
    <h:outputText value="#{component.id}" />
    <h:outputText value="#{component.value}" />
    <h:commandButton value="increment" action="#{component.increment}" />
    <h:commandButton value="decrement" action="#{component.decrement}" />
    <f:verbatim>
    <input type="hidden" name="id"
    value="</f:verbatim><h:outputText value="#{param.id}"/><f:verbatim>" />
    </f:verbatim>
    </h:form>
    The idea is that I want component.jsp to be initialized differently based on the id param. The component managed bean is configured to be in session scope but I want the component instance for id a and id b to be different instances in session scope. Therefore, I added a custom variable resolver to handle this.
    public Object resolveVariable(FacesContext context, String name) {
    // This id will be different for the different subviews.
    HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) context.getExternalContext() .getRequest();
    String id = request.getParameter("id");
    // If there is an id in the request then check if this is a bean that can have multiple
    // instances in session scope.
    if ((id != null) && (id.length() > 0)) {
    ExternalContext ec = context.getExternalContext();
    // Build the new name for the key of this bean
    String newName = name + "_" + id;
    Object value = null;
    // See if the bean instance already esists.
    if ((null == (value = ec.getRequestMap().get(newName))) &&
    (null == (value = ec.getSessionMap().get(newName))) &&
    (null == (value = ec.getApplicationMap().get(newName)))) {
         // We could not find the bean instance in scope so create the bean
         // using the standard variable resolver.
    value = original.resolveVariable(context, name);
    // Now check if the bean implements that page component interface. If it is
    // a page component then we want to rename the key to access this bean so
    // that the instance is only used when the id is provided in the request.
    // For example, if there are two components (a and b) we will have in session scope
    // component_a and component_b. The will each point to a unique instance of the
    // Component bean class.
    if (value instanceof PageComponent) {
    // Try to get the value again
    if (null != (value = ec.getRequestMap().get(name))) {
         // Initialize the bean using the id
    ((PageComponent) value).initInstance(id);
    ec.getRequestMap().remove(name);
    ec.getRequestMap().put(newName, value);
    } else if (null != (value = ec.getSessionMap().get(name))) {
    ((PageComponent) value).initInstance(id);
    ec.getSessionMap().remove(name);
    ec.getSessionMap().put(newName, value);
    } else if (null != (value = ec.getApplicationMap().get(name))) {
    ((PageComponent) value).initInstance(id);
    ec.getApplicationMap().remove(name);
    ec.getApplicationMap().put(newName, value);
    return value;
    return original.resolveVariable(context, name);
    }

  • Timesten replication with multiple interfaces sharing the same hostname

    Hi,
    we have in our environment two Sun T2000 nodes, running SunOS 5.10 and hosting a TT server currently in Release 7.0.5.9.0, replicated between each other.
    I would like to have some more information on the behavior of the replication w.r.t. network reliability when using two interfaces associated to the same hostname, the one used to define the replication element.
    To make an example we have our nodes sharing this common /etc/hosts elements:
    151.98.227.5 TBMAS10df2 TBMAS10df2-10 TBMAS10df2-ttrep
    151.98.226.5 TBMAS10df2 TBMAS10df2-01 TBMAS10df2-ttrep
    151.98.227.4 TBMAS9df1 TBMAS9df1-10 TBMAS9df1-ttrep
    151.98.226.4 TBMAS9df1 TBMAS9df1-01 TBMAS9df1-ttrep
    with the following element defined for replication:
    ALTER REPLICATION REPLSCHEME
    ADD ELEMENT HDF_GNP_CDPN_1 TABLE HDF_GNP_CDPN
    CHECK CONFLICTS BY ROW TIMESTAMP
    COLUMN ConflictResTimeStamp
    REPORT TO '/sn/sps/HDF620/datamodel/tt41dataConflict.rpt'
    MASTER tt41data ON "TBMAS9df1-ttrep"
    SUBSCRIBER tt41data ON "TBMAS10df2-ttrep"
    RETURN RECEIPT BY REQUEST
    ADD ELEMENT HDF_GNP_CDPN_2 TABLE HDF_GNP_CDPN
    CHECK CONFLICTS BY ROW TIMESTAMP
    COLUMN ConflictResTimeStamp
    REPORT TO '/sn/sps/HDF620/datamodel/tt41dataConflict.rpt'
    MASTER tt41data ON "TBMAS10df2-ttrep"
    SUBSCRIBER tt41data ON "TBMAS9df1-ttrep"
    RETURN RECEIPT BY REQUEST;
    On this subject moving from 6.0.x to 7.0.x there has been some changes I would like to better understand.
    6.0.x reported in the documentation for Unix systems:
    If a host contains multiple network interfaces (with different IP addresses),
    TimesTen replication tries to connect to the IP addresses in the same order as
    returned by the gethostbyname call. It will try to connect using the first address;
    if a connection cannot be established, it tries the remaining addresses in order
    until a connection is established.
    Now On Solaris I don't know how to let gethostbyname return more than one interface (the documention notes at this point:
    If you have multiple network interface cards (NICs), be sure that “multi
    on” is specified in the /etc/host.conf file. Otherwise, gethostbyname will not
    return multiple addresses).
    But I understand this could be valid for Linux based systems not for Solaris.
    Now if I properly understand the above, how was the 6.0.x able to realize the first interface in the list (using the same -ttrep hostname) was down and use the other, if gethostbyname was reporting only a single entry ?
    Once upgraded to 7.0.x we realized the ADD ROUTE option was added to teach TT how to use different interfaces associated to the same hostname. In our environment we did not include this clause, but still the replication was working fine regardless of which interface we were bringing down.
    My both questions in the end lead to the same doubt on which is the algorithm used by TT to reach the replicated node w.r.t. entries in the /etc/hosts.
    Looking at the nodes I can see that by default both routes are being used:
    TBMAS10df2:/-# netstat -an|grep "151.98.227."
    151.98.225.104.45312 151.98.227.4.14000 1049792 0 1049800 0 ESTABLISHED

    151.98.226.5.44949 151.98.226.4.14005 1049792 0 1049800 0 ESTABLISHED
    Tried to trace with ttTraceMon but once I brought down one of the interfaces did not see any reaction on either node, if you have some info it would be really appreciated !

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for the reply, I have few more queries on this.
    1.Using the ROUTE CLAUSE we can use multiple IPs using priority level set, so that if highest priority level set in thr ROUTE clause for the IP is not active it will fall back to the next level priority 2 set IP. But cant we use ROUTE clause to use the multiple route IPs for replication simultaneously?
    2. can we execute multiple schema for the same DSN and replication scheme but with different replication route IPs?
    for example:
    At present on my system, I have a replication scheme running for a specific DSN with stand alone Master-Subscriber mechanism, with a specific route IP through VLAN-xxx for replication.
    Now I want to create and start another replication scheme for the same DSN and replication mechanism with a different VLAN-yyy route IP to be used for replication in parallel to the existing replication scheme. without making any changes to the pre-existing replication scheme.
    for the above scenarios, will there be any specific changes respective to the different replication schema mechanism ie., Active Standby and Standalone Master Subscriber mechanism etc.,
    If so what are the steps. like how we need to change the existing schema?
    Thanks In advance.

  • HT204053 Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices?

    Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices? I just set up my IPhone 4S (first time user) using the same Apple ID as my daughters and now we receive each others texts, do I need to set up my own Apple ID account?

    Yes, you can.  In fact it's recommended that you use different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud.  You can still share the same ID for iTunes without any issues.
    You are getting each other's text messages because you're using the same ID for iMessage.  To fix this, one of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with a different ID.  To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • Is there any version of Indesign that allows to open multiple instance at the same time

    I am using Indesign CS3 to generate the bulk reports automatically(programmatically) using Adobe indesign library . One of the key limitation to this tool is it allows to open only one instance at a time unlike word where multiple instances can be opened at the same time. Is there any adobe indesign too version desktop/server which allows to open multiple instances at the same time. Any help on is appreciated. Thanks.

    @PeterG
    You said "You might want to examine the End User Licensing Agreement (EULA) for  any prohibition against using these two instances at the same time with  the same license; the license does permit two installs for the same user  that are not used simultaneously." I thought that meant you had read the EULA. It's pretty unambiguous on that point.
    For everyone's edification about multiple installations and server use with a standard license here's the relevant text:
    2. Software License.
    If you obtained the Software and any required serial number(s) from Adobe or one of its authorized
    licensees and as long as you comply with the terms of this agreement, Adobe grants you a non-exclusive
    license to install and use the Software in a manner consistent with its design and Documentation and as
    further set forth below. See Section 16 for specific provisions related to the use of certain products and
    components, for example font software, Acrobat, After Effects, Adobe Presenter, Contribute, Adobe
    Device Central, Flash Player, Flash Builder, and Adobe Runtimes.
    2.1 Limited Use. The Software, or portions of the Software, may allow installation and use without a serial
    number. If so, you may install but not use such non-serialized Software on any number of Computers as
    part of an organizational deployment plan. Further, you may install and use such non-serialized Software
    on any number of Computers for demonstration, evaluation and training purposes only and only if any
    Output Files or other materials produced through such use are used only for internal, non-commercial and
    non-production purposes. You may not use such non-serialized Software after any applicable time-out
    period has ended, unless you input a valid serial number under Section 2.2. ACCESS TO AND USE OF
    ANY OUTPUT FILES CREATED WITH SUCH NON-SERIALIZED SOFTWARE IS ENTIRELY AT
    YOUR OWN RISK.
    2.2 General Use. You may install and use one copy of the Software only on the Permitted Number of your
    compatible Computers into which you enter a valid serial number.
    2.3 Distribution from Server. You may copy an image of the Software onto Computer file server(s) within
    your Internal Network for the purpose of downloading and installing the Software onto Computers within
    the same Internal Network for use as permitted by Section 2.1 and 2.2.
    2.4 Server Use. You may install the Software on Computer file server(s) within your Internal Network only
    for use of the Software initiated by an individual from a Computer within the same Internal Network only
    as permitted by Section 2.2. The total number of users (not the concurrent number of users) able to use the
    Software on such Computer file server(s) may not exceed the Permitted Number.
    By way of example, the foregoing does not permit you to install or access (either directly or through
    commands, data or instructions) the Software: (a) from or to a Computer not part of your Internal Network,
    (b) for enabling Web hosted workgroups or services available to the public, (c) by any individual or entity
    to use, download, copy or otherwise benefit from the functionality of the Software unless licensed to do so
    by Adobe, (d) as a component of a system, workflow or service accessible by more than the Permitted
    Number of users, or (e) for operations not initiated by an individual user (e.g., automated server
    processing).
    2.5 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the important restrictions set forth in Section 2.6, the
    primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed under Section 2.2 (“Primary User”) may
    install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a
    Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not
    used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer.
    2.6 Restrictions on Secondary Use by Volume Licensees. If the Software was obtained under an Adobe
    volume license program (currently known as Adobe Open Options) by any licensee other than an
    educational volume licensee, the second copy of the Software made under Section 2.5 must be used solely
    for the benefit and business of that volume licensee. For more information about secondary use by volume
    licensees, please visit our Web Site at http://www.adobe.com/go/open_options.
    There is also language stating that if you have a dual boot or other system capable of running more than one OS you will need a separate license for each platform if you want to run the software on more than one.
