PeopleSoft Analytic Calculation Engine - Anyone using it?

We are planning to use PeopleSoft Analytic Calculation Engine in HRMS 8.9. We have simple needs such as showing headcount/turnover rate metrics.
Has anyone used it? How is your experience?
Thanks

Having our own LMS, we do not use the Peoplesoft one, but we have a client that I'm pretty sure does. They've referred to it as the Peoplesoft LMS and the Oracle LMS...but pretty sure it's one in the same (as Oracle bought Peoplesoft months ago, right?)
The biggest issue we've heard about it is no Interaction-level tracking support. Now I don't know what version they have but not being able to track interaction data was a big disappointment to them. They hired a contractor to customize and add such functionality and it works, mostly, but has some flaws...and, of course, if they ever update their LMS, likely that customization will be blown away.
Otherwise, the only other complaint I heard was the cost and time of integration with their other systems (whatever those may be - HR and such, I imagine). It wasn't cheap or quick.
I'd like to balance this out but I've not heard any positive comments on it, other than it does integrate with their HR system.

  • Making calculations in QueryDesigner using only two decimals

    Hi,
    I need to make a calculation in a bex analyzer query, using only two decimals.
    Ex.
    A = 10
    B = 3
    C = 1000
    D is a variable.
    In a query, the following calculation: A/B = D | D*1000
    Results in the following: 3333
    But if D only had two decimals, the result would end up as = 3330.
    I know I can control the number of decimals <u>shown</u> using properties, but this won't change the number of decimals actually used for the calculation.
    Anyone got an idea ?
    -Tone

    Tonni!!
    if 3333 if you put two decimal place it will put 3333.00 but not rounding, if you need rounding then that is different, 3333.51 will be rounded to either to 3333.00 or 3334.00
    thanks.

  • Which cache the Formula Engine will use in this case?

    Say that a MDX query contains:
    ❶a calculated measure defined in the targeted cube, ❷and another
    WITH MEMBER.
    Which cache the Formula Engine will use in this case:
    ❶Query,
    ❷Global, or
    ❸both (query & global)? and why? .... illustrate as possible please.

    Thanks Elvis ... but
    ❶ doesn't your reply, especially this part:
    ...But if we use WITH MEMBER keyword to define a calculated measure, it's the Storage Engine cache and not the Formula Engine cache....
    contradict with Microsoft's white
    paper: SQL
    Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services Performance Guide? ... check the figure below please:
    this is in page 36, where they are talking about the Formula Engine (or Query Processor, as they sometimes refer to it) types of cache. note the highlighted, they are saying that using the "WITH keyword within a query" forces the use of the "Query
    Context" which is one of the formula engine cache (as they said).
    Actually I've asked the main question because of this part of the same 36 page:
    I wanted to know
    ❷ what will happen to the calculated measures (those defined in the cube) if combined with another calculated members defined using the WITH keyword, in the same query? are they going to be recalculated even if they are already
    exist in the global cache?

  • Search Engine Logic using beans & JSP's design needed.

    I am developing a web app (using JSP, tags, beans, and SQL) that stores Electric utility customers info / data (like Account, meter read info & payments etc.) for retrieval based on search criteria input by the user(by acct, meter , meter location etc..). I need some kind of search engine to search the Customer information(data nearly 3 million records) that takes less than a minute.
    Right now I have developed the search engine using JSP's, The JSP's will get the info from resultset query of beans and formatting stuff is done in JSP's. But its very slow....some times it takes 5 to 10 minutes to fetch the results. So, now we have planned to move the "search logic" from JSP's to beans, hoping this will speed up the search engine performance.
    Does anyone know where I can get search engine logic using JSP, JavaBeans? , Please let me know is there discussion on this topic / sample code / links / books anywhere ?.
    I will really appreciate the help.
    Thanks,
    Donthy

    Hi,
    I think to export the logic to the beans will not help a lot, because the .jsp and the beans are compiled together to a servlet anyway. And so, it doesn`t really matter, where the logic has been befor, after compilation it will be in the servlet.. But to have java code logic in the bean and not in the jsp is a good idea anyway. It is always nice to have as few scriptlet code as possible, makes the application more readable..
    I think you should better have a closer look to the search logic, and the database. For such huge data amount, the Oracle database would be the best. And then let the database do as many of the search work as possible, because java is a little slow, and the database will be allways faster for this things of work..

  • Is anyone using testing seeing compiler lock-ups? [SOLVED]

    As the title says, is anyone using testing seeing compiler lock-ups? I've been seeing them for about two or three days. Sometimes the system will hang for a few seconds at "Starting make" with 100% CPU usage, then will continue normally. Other times it will stop in the middle of compiling and CPU usage will drop to 0. Also, I've been seeing small hang ups with patches. Maybe four or five seconds when simple patches are being applied. Bringing MAKEFLAGS down to the default 2 from 3 seems to help a tiny bit.

    fakeroot would put it in the right time frame. I linked to your bug report Anarconda as it seems like the same problem. As always if anyone has anything to add, please do:

  • Is anyone using the Calendar Server to send external invites?

    Is anyone using the Calendar Server to send external invites?
    We have a Mountain Lion server running DNS, Open Directory, File Sharing and VPN. We have recently stood up the Calendar server and it is working very well. Internal invites work fine and are instantaneous to computer, iPhone, iPad. We have the ports working so that calendar items created outside the network work fine as well. Only problem is we cannot invite anyone with an external e-mail address. Each time we do the Calendar Error Log populates with:
    2013-04-15 13:11:03-0500 [-] [mailgateway] 2013-04-15 13:11:03-0500 [Uninitialized] SMTP Client retrying server. Retry: 5

    We have set up an internal e-mail address. I have confined that it works fine. I have tried more than one internal account. I have also verified the settings through the command line by typing "sudo serveradmin settings calendar" The iMIP sending and receiving information is correct. There is no authentication type setting listed in the command line output even though there's a place to choose it in the Enable invitations by email - Edit button on the third screen. No matter what I choose it goes back to "login" and still doesn't work.
    The command line settings mention a port number 62310 as being the MailGatewayPort but opening that port on the network's firewall makes no difference. As I said external set up works fine from Mac/iPhone/iPad and push notification works fine as well.
    Is anyone using this functionality?

    I'm sorry. I forgot to add Mail to the list of services. I AM using mail on that server. Here's the iMIP portion of my settings output from Terminal.
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Server = "boardwalkserver.kuhnwitt.com"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:UseSSL = yes
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Username = "calendarserver"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Address = "[email protected]"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Password = "password"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Sending:Port = 465
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Enabled = yes
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:MailGatewayPort = 62310
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Server = "boardwalkserver.kuhnwitt.com"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:UseSSL = yes
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Username = "calendarserver"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:PollingSeconds = 30
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Type = "imap"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Password = "password"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:Receiving:Port = 993
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:AddressPatterns:_array_index:0 = "mailto:.*"
    calendar:Scheduling:iMIP:MailGatewayServer = "localhost"
    So Add mail to the services being used. Since Calendar is running on the mail server one would assume that it could communicate with it fairly easily.

  • Has anyone used JAAS with WebLogic?

    Has anyone used JAAS with Weblogic? I was looking at their example, and I have a bunch of questions about it. Here goes:
    Basically the problem is this: the plug-in LoginModule model of JAAS used in WebLogic (with EJB Servers) seems to allow clients to falsely authenticate.
    Let me give you a little background on what brought me to this. You can find the WebLogic JAAS example (to which I refer below) in the pdf: http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/pdf/security.pdf . (I believe you want pages 64-74) WebLogic, I believe goes about this all wrong. They allow the client to use their own LoginModules, as well as CallBackHandlers. This is dangerous, as it allows them to get a reference (in the module) to the LoginContext's Subject and authenticate themselves (i.e. associate a Principal with the subject). As we know from JAAS, the way AccessController checks permissions is by looking at the Principal in the Subject and seeing if that Principal is granted the permission in the "policy" file (or by checking with the Policy class). What it does NOT do, is see if that Subject
    has the right to hold that Principal. Rather, it assumes the Subject is authenticated.
    So a user who is allowed to use their own Module (as WebLogic's example shows) could do something like:
    //THEIR LOGIN MODULE (SOME CODE CUT-OUT FOR BREVITY)
    public class BasicModule implements LoginModule
    private NameCallback strName;
    private PasswordCallback strPass;
    private CallbackHandler myCB;
    private Subject subj;
             //INITIALIZE THIS MODULE
               public void initialize(Subject subject, CallbackHandler callbackHandler, Map sharedState, Map options)
                      try
                           //SET SUBJECT
                             subj = subject;  //NOTE: THIS GIVES YOU REFERENCE
    TO LOGIN CONTEXT'S SUBJECT
                                                     // AND ALLOWS YOU TO PASS
    IT BACK TO THE LOGIN CONTEXT
                           //SET CALLBACKHANDLERS
                             strName = new NameCallback("Your Name: ");
                             strPass = new PasswordCallback("Password:", false);
                             Callback[] cb = { strName, strPass };
                           //HANDLE THE CALLBACKS
                             callbackHandler.handle(cb);
                      } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e); }
         //LOG THE USER IN
           public boolean login() throws LoginException
              //TEST TO SEE IF SUBJECT HOLDS ANYTHING YET
              System.out.println( "PRIOR TO AUTHENTICATION, SUBJECT HOLDS: " +
    subj.getPrincipals().size() + " Principals");
              //SUBJECT AUTHENTICATED - BECAUSE SUBJECT NOW HOLDS THE PRINCIPAL
               MyPrincipal m = new MyPrincipal("Admin");
               subj.getPrincipals().add(m);
               return true;
             public boolean commit() throws LoginException
                   return true;
        }(Sorry for all that code)
    I tested the above code, and it fully associates the Subject (and its principal) with the LoginContext. So my question is, where in the process (and code) can we put the LoginContext and Modules so that a client cannot
    do this? With the above example, there is no Security. (a call to: myLoginContext.getSubject().doAs(...) will work)
    I think the key here is to understand JAAS's plug-in security model to mean:
    (Below are my words)
    The point of JAAS is to allow an application to use different ways of authenticating without changing the application's code, but NOT to allow the user to authenticate however they want.
    In WebLogic's example, they unfortunately seem to have used the latter understanding, i.e. "allow the user to authenticate however they want."
    That, as I think I've shown, is not security. So how do we solve this? We need to put JAAS on the server side (with no direct JAAS client-side), and that includes the LoginModules as well as LoginContext. So for an EJB Server this means that the same internal permission
    checking code can be used regardless of whether a client connects through
    RMI/RMI-IIOP/JEREMIE (etc). It does NOT mean that the client gets to choose
    how they authenticate (except by choosing YOUR set ways).
    Before we even deal with a serialized subject, we need to see how JAAS can
    even be used on the back-end of an RMI (RMI-IIOP/JEREMIE) application.
    I think what needs to be done, is the client needs to have the stubs for our
    LoginModule, LoginContext, CallBackHandler, CallBacks. Then they can put
    their info into those, and everything is handled server-side. So they may
    not even need to send a Subject across anyways (but they may want to as
    well).
    Please let me know if anyone sees this problem too, or if I am just completely
    off track with this one. I think figuring out how to do JAAS as though
    everything were local, and then putting RMI (or whatever) on top is the
    first thing to tackle.

  • Anyone using an HP LaserJet Pro CP1525nw printer with SL?

    I'm thinking of getting this printer. Can anyone using this with Snow Leopard please let me know how well it works? Any issues? Nice printer? I will be replacing a Samsung CLP-315 which prints very nicely, but doesn't work well after updating from Tiger to SL.
    Thanks

    It works just fine.  I picked up a 1525 yesterday, configured it using Lion, and I just now configured my wife's SL laptop to work with it.  No problems.  Just don't install the HP disk and let OS-X grab drivers for it and you should be fine.
    It's a little tricky configuring with Lion for wireless printing, but it's doable.  See my post at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3449512 for a checklist.

  • Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09?  I have some questions.

    Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09?  I have some questions.

    Are you actually having a problem with the new Lacie drive, or are you just asking is the Lacie drive somehow different from your old G-Drive?
    From a connection standpoint, most Lacie desktop drives have both USB and FireWire connections, just like the G-Drives do.  You would connect and use it the same as a G-Drive.
    Regarding capturing to the external HD, if you are using a camcorder that has FireWire (iLink) connection, it is not advisable to have an external FireWire HD connected to your Mac at the same time as your camcorder; there are often communication conflicts between the camcorder and the hard drive if they are connected at the same time.  The conflicts usually appear as either dropped frames or a complete freeze.   This is more common with Canon miniDV camcorders but I have also seen this behavior with Sony miniDV camcorders.  (The problem is the camcorder's FW implementation, not the hard drive.)  The workaround is to capture to your Mac's internal HD and later copy the captured video to your external HD.
