P6 R8 Summarisation issues

Eventually we have managed to get version 8 up and running both on client and web i.e. P6 Professional and P6 EPPM for want of a better name. It appears to be running smoothly at the moment. One of the issues I have found, is that when we have summarised all the projects, when we open up P6 Professional (which is what we use primarily) summarised data is not shown and you need to press F5 to refresh the database. In the previous version, as soon as the database was opened it automatically showed summarised data. Have I missed a tick box somewhere or do we have to live with it or is there an enhancement in the pipeline.

Thank you very much for your reply.
I did the SP1 and Hotfix installs for R8.2, which helped a few things, but did virtually nothing to fix Java issues and user error messages. This should have made the applets run with the latest version of Java. The problems actually got worse - Red "X" appeared in IE wherever Java applets were supposed be running.
I have had to uninstall Java from each machine, and reinstall it - on 64 bit machines, two Java installations are required - one for 32 bit browsers and one for 64 bit. Once reinstalled and verified, I actually access a website that requires Java to function, as a second check to be absolutely positive that the plugin is enabled and working. (The "Verify Java" link only ensures that it is installed, NOT that it is enabled and functional). Upon verification, I am finally able to get back to P6 EPPM Web and test. Generally (not always) I get the red "X" problem to go away, but I still get Java version error messages.
I have followed the Note 899568.1 - How To Hardcode P6 Web Access To Use A Specific Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Version When Running Applets. By doing this, I was able to change things somewhat, but invariably end up breaking some applets. I am sure that the problem is getting exactly the right string in the field provided in the P6 Administrator. Since we have no real guidance on exactly what string shoud go in the field, I never know if what I have entered is precisely correct. Another drawback to using this method to fix Java is that this operation requires me to restart the P6 webserver - downtime to do this is rarely allowed without requesting a maintenance window.
The fact that I have not been able to successfully test a good solution to this problem, prevents me from changing anything in production. I sure need an authoritative/definitive answer!

Performance Issues with Debugging even in Display Mode

Hi not certain if this would sit in Security, ABAP or Basis, but lets start here as it is security related.
S_DEVELOP with any activity on DEBUG on a production system is a concern, but what are the performance related issues when a super user has to go into debug in display only on a production system because of a really complex issue?
I've heard in the past of a scenario where system performance was impacted, and we have notes around the allocation of S_DEVELOP display DEBUG access to this point. (I've summarised these below)
The risk with debug is associated with the length of time that the actual debugging process is being performed.
u2022 Work processes are dedicated solely to the users for the duration of the debug. If these are being performed for a long time, these can cause issues with not enough work processes being available.
u2022 It can cause DB2 locks. If the debug session last awhile, DB2 locks are not released. This impacts the availability of tablespaces, thus, affecting various transactions running across the system.
Even with these concerns, security will often get asked for debug display access.
As security is about risk identification, assessment and then controlled access what do other organisations do?
Options (not exhaustive) are "No Debug ever" or "Debug display only via a fire fight or super user on a time limited basis".
We are currently in the "debug display only via fire fight" camp, but would like to canvas opinion on this.
As one of the concepts of security is Availability of data (and to an extent ensuring the systems are up and running) do the performance risks push the security function to the "No Debug Ever" stance.

If you need to debug in production, then 9 times out of 10 you need to do root-cause analysis: The developer is the problem.
Writing sloppy code and not testing properly should not be an excuse for debugging in production.
But of course, there are exceptions even when you do try to keep them to a minimum.
To add to Jurjen's comments, also note that the debugger only has a limited capability of doing a rollback. So you can quite easily and unintentionally create inconsistencies in the system - also in display mode - which is an integrity problem, and typically more critical than availability problems or even potential confidentiality concerns.
Cheers,
Julius

Summarising Summary Fields

Post Author: lazarus
CA Forum: Formula
Just want to say that i'm glad this forum exists. Many a late night has been spend trawling the net for solutions to CR issues which ultimately never get resolved. Hopefully this lovely forum can get me and the rest of us some sleep occasionally! :o)
Anyway, here is my issue. Hope someone can help.
Is it possible to summarise summary fields?
I have compiled a report which does a comparison between a value (valueA) and a sum of values (valueB).
(ValueA) is displayed in the group section as this is tied to the main identifier of the record, while (valueB) is a sum of some records linked to the main identifier (one to many relationship)
The Group footer of the main identifier has a single record summarising the above, including (valueA) and the sum of (valueB) for the main identifier. Here i have a calculation to find the difference between (valueA) and the sum of (valueB) for each main identifier. The result is (valueC).
Is it at all possible to summarise the result of the calculation above? i.e. Sum (valueC) on the next grouping? Crystal doesn't seem to allow me to, but i'm not sure if someone has tried this or found an alternative method of doing this.
All help/suggestions much appreciated.
(Sorry for the confusing description of this issue. Couldn't think of a better way to describe what i'm trying to do! )

RDS Focus issue with Windows 8.1

This is quite infuriating. I never post on here, so for me to be doing so, trust me, is basically as a last resort. I work for a s/w company, and we have two options w the app- local installation, or cloud, utilizing RDS. Our work database is (obviously)
on the cloud, so I can firsthand feel our customers pain.
Once the RDS session is opened, whether its minimized or not, no matter what you are doing or where you're navigating, after so much time elapses, it steals focus, and i end up half the time inadvertantly overwriting customer info because the cursor shifts
over, you get the idea.
I researched this for a LONG time. I cannot for the life of me find a fix. I changed the registry key for the foregroundlocktimeout to 30d40 hex, and still no love. Does anyone have ANY other suggestions? Its really making life difficult, but the conundrum
is I HAVE to have it open at all times. Thoughts?

I have exactly the same issue
It has been the same since i installed Win 8.1. just to summarise - very simple
When any Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is active it will assume focus every 60-90 seconds. ie
reboot computer,
launch browser,
go to RDS URL an login,
open ANY application (word, excel, Explorere, IE... any of 30 on the server) - so lets say Excel
launch a local app - ANY - say IE, or word or explorer
and within 1 minute while typing in Word - the RDS excel will be in focus and you will be typing into it...
I concur with the OTownMarine above - all the basic fixes have been done, removing KB2919355
& KB2959977 - caused the same issue as described
THis is not any other service or application except RDS
- TAKING focus
I do not want to do any more basic testing - but am happy
to do checks or try things that are SPECIFIC to this issue as it is extremely frustrating. However having said this - it would take some one less than 15 mins to test when they apply their mind

PDF Printing Issue - Customised Report Layout Error

Hi,
I am trying to get a PDF file output based on the customised RTF file created. I follow the following steps but I am facing an issue with that.
(i) Go to Shared Components > Report Queries.
(ii) Create a new Report query with more than one query.
(iii) Using the XML Data in the Report queries, create a Report Layout (RTF) file.
(iv) Navigate to shared components Report Layout and upload the RTF file.
(v) Once this is done, use the Report Layout created in the Report Queries. Select the Layout name from the Drop Down.
(vi) Click on TEST REPORT, this produces an error: Adobe Reader could not open the <file name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded )
Additional Info
The apex instance configured with Embbedded plsql, rdbms version is 11.1.0.7.0 and the BI publisher version 10.1.3.3.
ISSUE DESC
When I use mulitple Queries even after using Generic Report Layout I get the output for the first query alone in the PDF and the remaining Queries are ignored.
And when i use a user defined template, then even If i have a single report query I get the error.
To summarise, I am not able to use the customised Layouts.
I have reproduced the issue in apex.oracle.com
Please log in using,
WORKSPACE: demo_test
USER NAME: [email protected]
pwd: vidhya
After logging in please select the Application Builder.
In that select the Application named PDF.
Select the Shared components > Report Queries
Select the Report Query named test.
Click on the TEST REPORT button in the Source Queries Section.
You will get the error.
Now in the same page in the Report Query Attributes Section change the Report Layout to Use Generic Report Layout and then click on 'TEST REPORT', this will give the PDF file without errors.
The same report has been called from the PRINT REPORT button provided in the page 1 of the application.
This issue is really urgent and critical. Require your inputs/help.
Thanks,
Ramya

I' an APEX newbie and believe I am having the same or a similar problem. I am (for now) developing a system using the hosted Apex development system online. I have created a Report Query which works fine with the default layout. I downloaded the XML (tried both sample data and schema) into Word 2007 with the BI Publisher Template Builder. I used the table wizard to create a simple layout containing all columns with no customization at all. Saved as an RTF, uploaded to Apex as a Report Layout, associated it with the Report Query, clicked Test Report -- and I got nothing.
When the is a PDF, I get the same error you mention ( Adobe Reader could not open the <file name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded ). If I switch to an HTML file the out is just a blank screen.
If I switch back to generic report layout, it works fine. This suggests there is something wrong with the template, though it looks fine in Word with the sample data.
I've searched the forums and Google for the better part of a day. What am I missing?

Summarised postings from AP payment Program

Has anybody come across a requirement to summarise the payment postings from F110 to the GL?
When I run the payment program, the outgoing payment GL account is updated with each of the vendor payment amounts. The client wants to see just one posting to the GL.
eg, three vendors are paid by BACS, each of £1000
the posting to the GL will be to Dr Vendor Cr Outgoing clearing for each of the £1000 payments
I want to summarise the postings so that each of the vendors are posted, but one amount of £3000 is posted to outgoing clearing.
i am aware of the process issues with regard to returned bacs, I just need to know can this be done?
Can anybody help?

You need to define new payment program in AP.

Pivoting date data in Diadem - summarising data by grouping

Hi,
Is there a way to summarise date data in Diadem?
For example, if I have a file with the following headings:
Date/time, on/off, duration
The Date/time column is recordrded in date, hours and seconds,
the on/off is either 1 or 0
duration is the difference in time values when on/off is 1.
Is there a way to summarise the date data by day or possibly by month? (The corresponding numbers in 'duration' would need to be assigned to the appropriate day or month)?
The equivalent calculation tool would be a pivot table in Excel.
Look foward to a response.

Hi Brad,
Thank you for your prompt response.
I have attached a file in the code section with some data. (Apologies for this, but the NI website said the content did not match the filetype). (I will try and get this right and send the attachement as an excel file. DIADEM should be able to read in the text file).
The columns are as follows: Event, Date,Time,Duration On,State.
(please note 1) that in the 'event' column there are 5 boilers - good for pivoting once grouped per boiler,
2) that 'State' is either a save or a bypass - also good for pivoting i.e. which days and boilers were in bypass, and which days and boilers were in save)
I would like to be able to summarise the data as follows:
Show a period(group by month or year) the sum of the Duration On, then display the result on a monthly histogram showing for example daily Duration On vs date.
Then
on an annual histogram showing for example monthly Duration On vs month.
As the last part of the exercise, how can I break out doing the 2 steps about for each of the 5 seperate boilers and show when each of the boilers were in a save or a bypass?
(Is a pivot table in excel required or can all the data processing be done in DIADEM?)
I appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue.
Sincerely
HotCold

Toplink Caching issue

I have three Entities say C1 , P1 and card. Relation between these
entities are like this
P1 to Card ( one - one mapping )
C1 to Card ( one - many mapping )
I have three usecases. Usecase 1 uses the mail Entity C1. It will
create one record using C1. ( keep in mind that there will not be any data for entity card at that time ).
Second usecase , Usecase 2 , uses Entity P1 and creates data in P1 as
well as Card.
Third usecase will again take C1 and try to get the card data which
were inserted through P1.
But unfortunately , it is coming as null ... But if I restart the server and access the third usecase then I'm getting all the card data from C1 Entity which were saved through P1 Entity .
To summarise my finding , issue is with Toplink caching. When i
accessed the first usecase, C1 is cached. In the second usecase , I updated Entity card using P1. When i accessed the third usecase , toplink is returing the cached entity. Toplink is not able to identify whether related entity got changed or not....
Workaround is not to use cache for C1 entity. It is working but it will
not be the correct solution.
any one faced this issue in Toplink ?
Correct me if my findings are not correct...

Hello,
Its not that the cache isn't working, its that you are updating relationships in the database but not in the cache. Take the case of a 1:M from B->C used in a previous response. It looks like the foreign key used in this relationship (in the C table) is mapped to the C object either as a direct to field mapping, or through a 1:1 to the A object. When you change this so that it now somehow points to the B object, you haven't updated the B object to include the C in its collection. Because B has a 1:M mapping collection of Cs, when you next get that B object from the cache, its collection will not contain the newly referenced C (assuming indirection is not used or has been previously triggered). This is a result of you mapping the 1:M in the first place - since it is storing the collection in the object.
If you are going to make changes that affect relationships and yet not update the relationships directly I would suggest either:
A) refreshing affected objects from the database when done. In this case, refreshing the B object will result in TopLink requerying the B->C relation and picking up any changes (depending on your refresh options on the B descriptor though - please check the docs if you need more info).
B) Not mapping these relationships. Instead, when you need to find C objects referenced from B, query for them.
Both options are less efficient as they cause more hits to the database. This is why it would be preferred if you updated the relationships when you change fields that affect those relationships, but it is up to you to decide which will work best for your application.
Please note that the cache is working, in fact the situation you are seeing is due to it working. I am not sure of how your situation would work with DAO as you mentioned in a previous post, but it sounds like it would always hit the database. This situation is a result of you making changes in the database but not changing the object model to reflect those changes, proving that the cache is indeed working. While you mention that some objects are not in your use case, they are in the database but just not mapped in TopLink. In the case of a 1:M mapping, the database shows a 1:1 back relationship that you have not mapped in your object model. So this would be more a case of your object model not matching your database model, and not being taken into account in your use cases.
Best Regards,
Chris

Illustrator CS2 Memory Allocation Issue

I have a client who uses illustrator cs2 and whenever anyone uses illustrator to open enough files to cause illustrator.exe to consume 750mb of ram "through task manager" it says "An unknown error has occured"
Now i have tested this on around 6 different computers all with varying specs everyone with at least 2gb of ram and all core2duo or better and the problem is consistant across the board, i have searched through almost every google search possible relating to this issue with no avail, the issue does not persist in photoshop cs2 and you cannot directly allocate more ram to illustrator, i have also made changes to the page file making it up to 3 times as big as max memory. It seems to be some limitation of the memory that can be used by illustrator. Could anyone who has experienced such a problem or has illustrator and can try opening enough files to reach a peak of around 750mb mem use see if they experience the same issue.
The file sizes they are opening are only around 5mb but once opened consume around 300mb of mem. At this stage they dont want to upgrade to cs4 until there is some proof that this is indeed a limitation of cs2.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Ok, Just because i have spent so much time researching this and it seems to be a recurring reported issue with abode users. I will attempt to summarise my findings and the resolution we used.
Firstly i would like to say that adobe has the worst call centre i have ever encountered with a 4 hour hold to speak to a SALES person before hanging up this occured between 12pm and 4pm aest on thursday 27/08/2009, I would never recommend calling adobe if your time is worth anything to you, because it is certainly worth nothing to adobe. *breath* I guess that can do this because they are the only feasable graphic solution available in their market segment, seems like microsoft of the graphic design world. Anyway, enough rant.
What i found was that adobe did not support working over a network share and went about fixing this issue a number of years ago, their solution which is more of a work around was to create version cue, So anyone who encounters constantly corrupt files while operating over a network must deploy and use version cue, the current supported version cs4 has numerous issues specifically with the check in and checkout procedure, the only way you can prevent data lose in the event of a windows crash (obviously a common occurance) is to checkin in your data regularly as saving will only keep a copy if adobe drive remains open, this results in numerous versions and kinda makes saving redundant as saving is only temporarily keeps your work for the session.
CS4 is much more stable and i have not encountered any issues with limitations of the ammount of virtual memory assigned i have had around 30 open at one time and no issues, overall a much better and more stable product that cs2, too bad they couldnt implement a better version control system, i am also very iffy about moving this data to another server.
Thanks to all who contributed and the assistance recieved by this community, way more helpful than adobe technical support.

Iphone 5 touchscreen issue with iOS 7 update

I downloaded the upgrade the day it came out and there were no issues for the first few days. Then about a week later my touchscreen started wigging out. I would not even touch the screen and letters no where near where my finger was would start being typed into the box. I could not select anything on the screen cause it would scroll and select other things, and I was having issues with closing out the apps.
I am averaging 3-5 hard reboots a day and the soft reboots don't seem to have any effect on it.
When I do the hard reboots, it will work for just a few min and then do the same as before.
I restored the phone back to factory settings and redownloaded the phone and I didnt think that I was going to get the password in for the apple ID cause it was doing the same as before. No dropping or wetting of the phone has occurred. I was also able to update to the 7.0.2 and this did nothing.
Anyone have any suggestions or having the same problems?

I have these issues, on both my iphone 5 and ipad using ios7.0.2 (and all apps have been updated also. I am actually amazed that this forum is not full of complaints about this, such are the number of issues and regularity of their occurrence! I have spoken to friends who also experience freezing, crashing and an erratic touchscreen since updating to ios 7.
The issues (on both iphone 5 and ipad) can be summarised as follows: 1- touchscreen behaves erratically, keyboard use and scrolling in pages no longer as easy as before. 2- apps crash, regularly, particularly mail and calendar. I have linked both mail and calendar to office 365 and wonder if this is anything to do with it? Have to close and restart the app in order to resolve. 3- the whole os crashes & freezes requiring a hard reboot.
I wish I could reinstall the previous os!

MPLS, Summarisation, OSPF and stubby areas

Since summarisation breaks the LSP and this is not desired in an MPLS VPN network on the core, can it be concludded then that stubby areas can not be used on the service provider core, if he wants to offer MPLS VPN service?.
Or how does he avoid or workaround the issue of summarisation, small Link State Database and areas on the core.

You are correct. It is not possible to use stubby areas if you want to deploy MPLS VPN. You can still summarize though as long as you don't summarize the IP addresses assigned to the loopback interfaces. One way to do it is to use a different address range for the loopback interface of all your PEs and to use summarization for all address ranges but this one. This way only the loopback addresses will be advertised as /32 and the rest of your prefixes will be nicely summarized.
Hope this helps,

Prompting issues on dashboard pages

I have a 3 page dashboard that conform to a form of hierarchy
-- Page one summarises the highest level of date by month (based on a dashboard prompt)
-- Page two shows the middle level of data based on a prompt from Page one
-- Page three shows the lowest level of data based on a prompt from Page two
For example:
Page 1 shows Car sales by Maker (Ford, Chrysler VW etc), clicking on one of these will take you to Page 2 which shows the sales per Model (Focus, Fusion, Taurus etc) and clicking on one of these will take you to Page 3 which shows the sales by Package (S, SE, SES, SEL etc).
This all seems to work fine, the date selected on Page 1 is passed to the other pages. The problem arises when I go back to Page 1 after drilling-down to either Page 2 or 3. Returning to Page 1 after this means that the chart & table there only shows data for the Maker for the Model and Package selected on Pages 2 & 3.
The only prompted field on Page 1 is the "month" field that takes its prompt from the dashboard prompt, I can't see why this is picking up selections from the drill-down & not just returning the full data set. Can anyone help?
Edited by: user8090364 on Apr 14, 2009 3:19 AM
Hmmm, further Googling suggests it may be an issue with Dashboard Page State Persistence in config.xml. Has anyone else come across this?

Hi John
They're column based & each page has a seperate report. I hadn't protected the filters on the top level report - I have now & that seems to have sorted it.
Thank you, that was really bugging me. We're still in UAT & all these little niggles that aren't in the manuials are cropping up.

New DVR Issues (First Run, Channel Switching, etc.)

I've spent the last 30 minutes trying to find answers through the search with no luck, so sorry if I missed something.
I recently switched to FIOS from RCN cable in New York. I've gone through trying to setup my DVR and am running into issues and was hoping for some answers.
1. I setup two programs to record at 8PM, I was watching another channel at the time and only half paying attention. Around 8:02 I noticed a message had popped up asking if I would like to switch channels to start recording. I was expecting it to force it to switch like my old DVR, but in this case it didn't switch and I missed the first two minutes of one of the shows. I typically leave my DVR on all day and just turn off the TV, this dual show handling will cause issues with that if I forget to turn off the DVR. Is there a setting I can change that will force the DVR to choose one of the recording channels?
2. I setup all my recordings for "First Run" because I only want to see the new episodes. One show I setup was The Daily Show on comedy central, which is shown weeknights at 11pm and repeated 3-4 times throughout the day. My scheduled recordings is showing all these as planned recordings even though only the 11pm show is really "new". Most of the shows I've setup are once a week so they aren't a problem, but this seems like it will quickly fill my DVR. Any fixes?
Thanks for the help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I came from RCN about a year ago. Fios is different in several ways, not all of them desirable. Here are several ways to get--and fix--unwanted recordings from a series recording setup.
Some general principles.
Saving changes. When you originally create a series with options, or if you go back to edit the options for an existing series, You MUST save the Series Options changes. Pretty much everywhere else in the user interface, when you change an option, the change takes effect immediately--but not in Series Options. Look at the Series Options window. Look at the far right side. There is a vertical "Save" bar, which you must navigate to and click OK on to actually save your changes. Exiting the Series Options window without having first saved your changes loses all your attempted changes--immediately.
Default Series Options. This is accessed from [Menu]--DVR--Settings--Default Series Options. This will bring up the series options that will automatically be applied to the creation of a NEW series. The options for every previously created series will not be affected by a subsequent modification of the Default Series Options. You should set these options to the way you would like them to be for the majority of series recordings that you are likely to create. Be sure to SAVE your changes. This is what you will get when you select "Create Series Recording" from the Guide. When creating a new series recording where you think that you may want options different from the default, select "Create Series with Options" instead. Series Options can always be changed for any individual series set up later--but not for all series at once.
Non-series recordings. With Fios you have no directly available options for these. With RCN and most other DVRs, you can change the start and end times for individual episodes, including individual episodes that are also in a series. With Fios, your workarounds are to create a series with options for a single program, then delete the series later; change the series options if the program is already in a series, then undo the changes you made to the series options later; or schedule recordings of the preceding and/or following shows as needed.
And now, to the unwanted repeats.
First, make sure your series options for the specific series in question--and not just the series default options--include "First Run Only". If not, fix that and SAVE. Then check you results by viewing the current options using the Series Manager app under the DVR menu.
Second, and most annoying, the Guide can have repeat programs on your channel tagged as "New". It happens. Set the series option "Air Time" to "Selected Time". To make this work correctly, you must have set up the original series recording after selecting the program in the Guide at the exact time of a first run showing (11pm, in your case), and not on a repeat entry in the Guide. Then, even it The Daily Show is tagged as New for repeat showings, these will be ignored.
Third, another channel may air reruns of the program in your series recording, and the first showing of a rerun episode on the other channel may be tagged as "New". These can be ignored in your series if you set the series option "Channel" to "Selected Channel". Related to this, if there is both an SD and HD channel broadcasting you series program, you will record them both if the series option "Duplicates" is set to "Yes". However, when the Channel option is set to "Selected Channel", the Duplicates Option is always effectively "No", regardless of what shows up on the options screen.
As for you missing two minutes, I have sereral instances in which two programs start recording at the same time. To the best of my recollection, whenever the warning message has appeared, ignoring it has not caused a loss of recording time. You might have an older software version. Newest is v.1.8. Look at Menu--Settings--System Info. Or, I might not have noticed the loss of minutes. I regularly see up to a minute of previous programming at the start of a recording, or a few missing seconds at the beginning or end of a recording. There are a lot of possibilities for that, but the DVR clock being incorrect is not one of them. With RCN, the DVR clocks occasionally drifted off by as much as a minute and a half.

Pension issue Mid Month Leaving

Dear All,
As per rule sustem should deduct mid month joining/leaving/absences or transfer scenarios, the Pension/PF Basis will be correspondingly prorated. But our system is not doing this. In RT table i have found 3FC Pension Basis for Er c 01/2010                    0.00           6,500.00.
Employee leaving date is 14.04.2010. system is picking pension amout as 541. Last year it was coming right.
Please suggest.

Dear Jayanti,
We required prorata basis pension in case of left employees and system is not doing this. This is the issue. As per our PF experts Pension amount should come on prorata basis for left employees in case they left mid of month.System is doing prorata basis last year but from this year it is deducting 541. I am giving two RT cases of different years.
