Preserver display

Hi All,
During cloning when I run "perl adcfgclone.pl dbTechStack" on the target instance( instance being cloned).
I am prompted this question:
Do you want to preserve the Display set to 1.0 (y/n) [y] ?
What does this mean? Could someone please explain.
or give links to metalink id's
Thanks,
Silver

Do you want to preserve the Display set to 1.0 (y/n) [y] ?
What does this mean? Could someone please explain.You usually run adpreclone on source node before start of copy to target, adpreclone basically checks through various driver files and save information, at time when you are adclone on target node it suggests value as accordance to source node.
In above question oracle is asking you if your display server on target node is running on same display set as on source, if yes then choose default otherwise say 'n' and it will ask for value of display set. In autoconfig xml file you will see this parameter as s_display_server something like hostname:1.0(on source node) and you should be having your Xserver to be started on same set i.e. hostname:1.0 to use it correctly.
Thanks.

  • How can I preserve display string (convert DOB to Age) upon excel export?

    I am using the following code to convert DOB to age within Display String (Format Field/Common tab):
    if
    //months
    (datediff('yyyy',{CDCLIENT.DOB},currentdate)-(if datepart('y',currentdate)>datepart('y',{CDCLIENT.DOB}) then 0 else 1))<2 then
    totext(datediff('mm',{CDCLIENT.DOB},currentdate),0,'') & ' months'
    else
    //years
    totext((datediff('yyyy',{CDCLIENT.DOB},currentdate)-(if datepart('y',currentdate)>datepart('y',{CDCLIENT.DOB}) then 0 else 1)),0,'') //& ' years'
    When I export to excel/csv/ttx.. it doesn't export the display string (Age), but reverts back to the DOB. How do I preserve this upon export?

    Hi Dominic,
    The 'display string' formatted values are not exported to Excel Data Only.
    Create a 'formula field' as a workaround.

  • Business Area import issue

    In Test I had to delete a couple folders from a Business Area(BA). But after migration a new copy of BA into Production those folders still appear. Here is my migration plan:
    1. Export the BA from Test
    2. Import the BA into Production using the following criteria:
    - Refresh the object and then check the sub-box called Preserve display related properties
    - two objects be matched by Identifier
    3. Refresh the BA
    Also I`d like to mention that this BA was in Production before Migration
    Thank you in Advance.

    Hi
    It sounds as though you may have deleted the folders from the business area but not from the EUL. If this is the case, and the folders still exist inside Production, then when you import from Test into Production, the folders will be there attached to the business area.
    If you really don't want the folders you should completely delete them from the Test EUL, or are you saying that you did this? If you're absolutely certain that you deleted them from Test, then exported the Test business area and imported it into Production, matching by identifier, then it sounds like there is an issue. You may need to manually delete folders in both areas.
    You see, if a folder exists in production and not in the import from Test, how does Discoverer know that you did not intentionally not export that folder? I don't think it can detect that something is no longer there. Its a bit like saying give me the ID numbers of all the rows in the database that got deleted today so that I can go and delete them from the data warehouse. You cannot because they don't exist. I think your best plan would be to delete them from both areas, either that or delete the business area from production and reimport it from Test.
    Does this help and what do the other Discoverer experts think about what I have said?

  • Export workbooks in discoverer admin

    hello
    I am able to export workbooks from discoverer admin. in DEV env.
    The file is in '.eex' format.
    How can I import '.eex' file into Discoverer Desktop in Test env.
    If i import the same .eex file into Discv Admin @ Test..How can i open it in Desktop@Test.
    Appreciate any feedback
    thanks
    kp

    Hi Tamir,
    As i was having only discoverer plue in 11i i can only export using disc.admin.
    Disc plus dont have options for this
    THanks a lot for your tip..It worked
    I selected
    Refresh The Object
    and "By Identifier"
    I checked only take ownership if original owner can not be found
    and it worked fine
    I have few more clarifications
    1)
    When I click on =Refresh the object
    there is a check box at the bottom says: Preserve Display Related Properties
    Should I check it or not
    2)
    Also when I open the workbook under my name
    workbook was opening only with this option->
    Open the workbook in the current database account
    If the workbook is asking if i need to substitute a join, I may need to do that right?

  • Item Class removed during import of EEX

    I have amended the SQL for a custom folder and this custom folder has one item class and is joined to two other folders. In my export I have included the BA, the three folders and the item class. When I import this EEX to a support environment the item class is deleted. If then import the EEX a second time the item class is recreated.
    Has anyone seen this behaviour before? Is there any way to resolve/prevent this? I don't believe the export strategy is at fault as I have migrated 100's of objects in this manner. What is most strange is that the item class clearly exists in the EEX as it is creating it on the second import.
    I am using the Refresh object: preserve display related properties option and objects are being matched by identifier. These are the standard choices for all our migrations.
    Thanks,
    Nic

    Hello Nic
    I frequently need to import EEX files a second time and do it regularly. This is because of a round-robin scenario where item classes are shared between folders. So if folder A is imported before folder B and the item class is driven from folder B it will not be attached to the items in folder A. If I now do the import a second time then because the item class already exists when folder A is iimported the system sees that the LOV is there and hooks it back in.
    Hope this behind the scenes explanation and Rod's previous posting help.
    Best wishes

  • Discoverer Administrator crashes

    We have installed the new version of Administrator version 10.1.2.00.00, client version 10.1.2.45.46c but are finding this version keeps crashing as we try to build a new EUL, the most common messages we get are 'Internal application error' or 'Internal EUL error'.
    I have found a previous post referring to Administrator crashing when there is more than one person logged into the EUL, even when one is just browsing; however, we are finding the application crashes even when only one person is logged in.
    We do also have previous versions installed on our PC i.e. 3.1 and 10g (9.0.4) but this shouldn't be a problem should it as they are in separate Oracle homes?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi,
    I cancelled the import and then tried importing again, this time with the last option : "Refresh existing objects (Preserve display related properties)"
    This time, it didnot create new identifiers for the newly created objects, but actually replaced the old ones.
    And then the error is gone, while retaining the existing folders,item classes.
    The issue is fixed, I dont get any error for the new folders but, the error still exists for the old folders and I cannot delete the folders. I am getting error :
    "Internal EUL Error: DestroyFailure - Failed to destroy EUL element"
    So the EUL is not clean..how can I delete the folders ?
    Thanks!

  • Import business area issue

    Hi Discoverer friends,
    I recently created a buisness area with a workbook in development eul and imported into the production eul. I first exported the business area and workbook separatly from Dev/Test using discoverer admin.I then Imported the BA and workbook into Production in admin using the default settings except that - Refresh the object( the sub-box Preserve display related properties was not checked) I also refresh the BA. The imported workbook worked fine, but a workbook for another BA ( say BA1) failed to work. I looked into the issue and discovered that there were multiple BAs in the same EUL where the new BA (say BA3) was imported into. The folders in BA3 were 80% the same as what in BA2. However, the problem was in BA1 as some of the worksheets failed. I looked into the SQL for the failed worksheet and to my surprise, the query in BA1 joined with some of the tables in BA3. Please note: BA1 had no such folder and even no joint to these tables in BA3.
    It is either a bug or something I missed or did wrong with my import of the BA3 as after I deleted both BA1/BA3, imported BA1 only and it turned out OK for BA1.
    So What I should do to import the BA3?
    Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
    my Discoverer admin edition is 9.0.4. Database 9.2.4. Application server 9.0.4.2 and Discoverer Plus used is 9.0.4.45.02.
    Thank you very much,
    Jeff

  • OWB Corrupts Discoverer EUL

    HI,
    I want to put some attention to an issue I encountered using OWB 9.2. The issue occurs when defining a dimension without any levels. If one exports that dimension through the discoverer bridge and imports it in the EUL, the EUL is corrupted. To see it one needs to do a second import, it will generate an error (cyclic hierarchy, eul not changed). The mentioned dimension is NOT visible in discoverer, however it will need either reinstalling the EUL (thus losing all metadata entered and/or changed) or hacking into the EUL to remove the hierarchy which has no levels.
    IMO this is a serious problem which needs to be addressed ASAP, however raising an iTAR only resulted in a product enhancement request (IMO way to low for such a problem).
    The referenced iTAR ( 3507810.999 ) and product enhancement request ( bug: 3237872) are available for viewing (with proper authorisation).
    How to put it "High" on the list of development?
    Greetings,
    Wilco

    Let me explain,
    A developper designed the dimension and forgot to add levels.
    OWB validated the dimension as OK (This shoul already result in invalid dimension IMO).
    We assigned the dimension to a collection, and exported a complete collection through the discoverer bridge. (6 Dimensions an 3 Facts).
    Export went successfully.
    During Import we got your error also, so we exported again. The then resulting eex imported successfully into OWB.
    The dimension we did not use right away, is was part of the 2nd increment of development, but created allready for future need.
    When we modified the ETL, because of a missing field, we reexported through the discoverer bridge.
    The file we got then we loaded with the following option in Discoverer : refresh the object, preserve display related properties. This reulted in the import not beeing able to finish due to "cyclic hierarchy error", the EUL was not changed. importing the new field was impossible.
    We did not want to create the extra field by hand, due to the fact that Discoverer and OWB use uid's, which would get out of sync, resulting in a almost unmaintainable EUL (we have experienced it allready).
    If of use, following TAR/bug's are related (from Discoverer and OWB side)
    Discoverer
    iTAR 3398979.996
    BUG none
    OWB
    iTAR 3507810.999
    BUG 3237872
    On the side of Discoverer they recognize it as a bug, but also treat it as enhancement, while at the side that realy causes the problems it is treated as a "would be nice to have" feature (in my interpretation)
    I am even encouraged to start a discussion on this issue to upgrade the bug. In my opinion it is a bug, and not even a small one. I believe that a product should never be corrupting metadata or functionality of another product.
    If one buy's a car, and after your wife has driven it and made a little scratch on the paint (and only teh paint), I believe nobody would accept it if from that moment on, noone would be able to normally drive the car because it is impossible to drive that car around a corner. If one goes to the garage, they will respond with: eeeh, OK we will mention this to the factory, so they can add it as an option. In the mean time buy a new car, and do not make any scratches to the paint.
    (You will have to admit the analogy here)

  • Display text file in servlet with preserved formatting(newlines, etc)

    how do i display a text file in servlet, but all the blanks and newlines are preserved.
    this is what i did:
    RandomAccessFile text = new RandomAccessFile("D:/FYP/tempMessage.txt","r");
    long length = text.length();
    byte[] bytes = new byte[(int)length];
    //Read in the bytes
    int offset = 0;
    int numRead = 0;
    while (offset < bytes.length
    && (numRead=deCiphered.read(bytes, offset, bytes.length-offset)) >= 0) {
    offset += numRead;
    // Close the input stream and return bytes
    text.close();
    String plainText=new String(bytes);
    //display in servlet
    pw.println("<center>Plain text: " + plainText + "</center>");
    the problem here is the newlines are seem to be omitted when they're displayed in a web browser, rendering the displayed text in a mess.
    any help are greatly appreciated. thanks in advance :)

    display text in between <pre></pre> tags.
    or display it inside a text area,dont worry abt the text area border, u can change that using style sheets.

  • Preserving doc "Date Created" as displayed in Windows explorer

    Hello.  We've just retired an SBS and have about 2000 Word docs that have their attached templates linked to the obsolete server.  Using EditAttachedTemplates (vb.net) solves the missing template problem but introduces another.  It wipes the
    Date Created - for Windows explorer purposes.
    Our staff accesses all of the .docm's by windows explorer (sorted by "Date Created").  Without the template repair app, each doc takes 30 seconds to open and machines are searching for the old server.
    I do not have access to the source code of the template repair app.  Also... I am not a dev and we do not employ one.  So... hypothetically, if I could find someone to alter the vb repair app, could it in theory be adjusted so that the original
    "Date Created" as displayed in W7 explorer would be unchanged?

    Thank you, Paul.
    This code has following issues:
    1. Its "Last Modified" date retention line returns an error. "Object does not support this action". I worked it around using the Shell method though.
    UpdateModDT xFolder, xFile, xDT
    Function UpdateModDT(myFolder, myFile, DateTime)
    Dim objShell, objFolder
    Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
    Set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace(CStr(myFolder))
    objFolder.Items.Item(myFile).ModifyDate = DateTime
    End Function
    2. It skips the Protected files and returns an error when it cannot write the reason in the the document from where it was run
    3. It only works on one extension type at a time, i.e. currently set for *.doc
    Can you please assist on this?
    Thanks,

  • Preserve ipod display columns after eject and remount

    Since the search function is currently disabled on discussions, I'm posting this in the hopes that someone might know the answer: how do I change the default column settings when I mount my ipod in itunes? I'm running the latest versions of everything. 80GB ipod. I set up the columns the way I like them (size, kind, time, no genre, etc) and then when I eject and remount the ipod, the columns are all back to the way apple wants them to look and not how I want them to look. it's not even a restarting itunes issue; I've kept itunes open while testing it and the columns always reset when I remount the ipod. I do have "remember view setting for each source" checked, but that seems to ignore the ipod as a "source".

    it has been fixed, sort of. the columns are preserved except for size, which is very odd. I prefer to keep the size column handy while I organize files and eliminate duplicates. It also does not remember my "show browser" setting.

  • Make .PDF display in email while preserving its Internet Links

    I've created one A4-page mixed media (text and images) .pdf invitation with two embedded URLs – a map reference and email reply (which work fine) – but disappointingly it appears as an attachment when received. Recipients have to launch the file to reveal its content – and find the embedded links. When saved as a .jpg it reveals but the links are lost. How do I deliver it so that it appears visually when recipients open the mail in their Inbox with the Internet links intact?

    The solution is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529 but as you write, the "fixit" is only for Windows 8.
    To apply it on Windows 7, download, unzip, then run the attached registry script.

  • Display cross-references' linked documents filename in the xref panel

    Our company creates technical manuals consisting of five chapters, all named the same, except with a different prefix. For example the "ABC Widget" manual has an introduction chapter named "ABC 1 - Introduction", a safety chapter named "ABC 2 - Safety", etc. Many times I re-use documents for creating subsequent manuals using the "Save As" command. So the "ABC 1 - Introduction" chapter would be saved as "EFG 1 - Introduction" for the "EFG Widget" book. For all the internal xrefs it saves a whole lot of time since all of the xrefs are preserved. But for cross-document references it creates a problem. For example, if the "ABC 1 - Introduction" chapter has a xref to "ABC 2 - Safety", when I save the Introduction chapter as "EFG 1 - Introduction" it will still retain the xref to "ABC 2 - Safety".
    Right now, the only way to see if there are xrefs pointing to latent docs, is to check each one manually. If the xref panel displayed a column indicating the filename of the linked documents, I would be able to tell at a glance if that xref was pointing to the wrong document.
    Thank you.

    Hi Van,
    I fear, I expressed myself not very clear. I try again.
    We have DITA structured documents. However, lastest status often was saved in the FM document. The xml documents often are not representing the final status.
    When I open the FM8 document in FM9 everything looks pretty good.
    But: When I want to save the document as xml with FM9, I'm getting errors regarding the cross references.
    The cross references which were created in FM8 - doesn't matter, if a valid xml document or a FM document - always look the same.
    (BTW: I don't think that in structured documents cross references always refer to elemts with a unique ID.)
    example from xml which was created with FM8:
    <xref href = "#id08B4A0R30E9" type = "fm:Chapter">"..."</xref>
    the only difference in the FM document is that the element is called fm-xref there, as it's not an external url.
    in FM9 those cross references are totally different.
    example from xml which was created in FM9:
    <xref href = "#id08B4A0R30E9" class = "- topic/xref">"..."</xref>
    When saving the FM documents with the cross references from the first example as xml in FM9 (we don't have FM8 anymore), I get an error that the attribute type is not defined.
    When having a xml document that was last changed with FM8 and opening/ saving this with FM9, there is no error.
    At the moment I do not know how to solve this issue.
    And also I'm not sure weather the same problem might accour again with change from FM9 to FM10 or else.
    It is a great effort to make new cross references just because we upgraded from FM8 to FM9. (And of course always at most inconvienent time.)
    As we are thinking of upgrading to FM10, it would be good to know before, if there are any similar issues to expect.
    Or if there is an fix for FM9 or FM10 to avoid this at all.

  • Displaying the path of the file selected by a FileChooser in a TextField

    I'm just getting started with Swing. I developed a simple dialog box that has two text fields and two buttons. The objective is to open two files using those two buttons. I used FileChooser to select the files. Now, I want to display the path of the selected files in their corresponding TextFields. I use the following code to do that.
    final FileChooser fc1 = new FileChooser();
    final FileChooser fc2 = new FileChooser();
    final TextField tf1 = new TextField();
    final TextField tf2 = new TextField();
    private void button1ActionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
                int returnVal1 = fc1.showOpenDialog(labelPhpFile);
                if (returnVal1 == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
                    File file1 = fc1.getSelectedFile();
                    String fileName1 = file1.getName();               
                    String filePath1 = file1.getPath();
                    tf1.setText(filePath1);
    private void button2ActionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
                int returnVal2 = fc2.showOpenDialog(labelPhpFile);
                if (returnVal2 == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
                    File file2 = fc2.getSelectedFile();
                    String fileName2 = file2.getName();               
                    String filePath2 = file2.getPath();
                    tf2.setText(filePath2);
    }The above code works fine only for the first file. Mean the path of the file selected using fc1 is getting displayed in the tf1 TextField. But, the file selected using fc2 is not getting displayed tf2 TextField. Please help me.
    Thank you :)

    h1. The Ubiquitous Newbie Tips
    * DON'T SHOUT!!!
    * Homework dumps will be flamed mercilessly.
    * Have a quick scan through the [Forum FAQ's|http://wikis.sun.com/display/SunForums/Forums.sun.com+FAQ].
    h5. Ask a good question
    * Don't forget to actually ask a question. No, The subject line doesn't count.
    * Ask once
        - Don't Crosspost!
        - Two people answering one question independantly is a waste of there time.
    * Don't even talk to me until you've:
        (a) [googled it|http://www.google.com.au/] and
        (b) looked it up in [Sun's Java Tutorials|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/] and
        (c) read the relevant section of the [API Docs|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/index-files/index-1.html] and maybe even
        (d) referred to the JLS (for "advanced" questions).
    * [Good questions|http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#intro] get better Answers. It's a fact. Trust me on this one.
        - Lots of regulars on these forums simply don't read badly written questions. It's just too frustrating.
          - FFS spare us the SMS and L33t speak! Pull your pants up, and get a hair cut!
        - Often you discover your own mistake whilst forming a "Good question".
        - Many of the regulars on these forums will bend over backwards to help with a "Good question",
          especially to a nuggetty problem, because they're interested in the answer.
    * Improve your chances of getting laid tonight by writing an SSCCE
        - For you normal people, That's a: Short Self-Contained Compilable Example.
        - Short is sweet: No-one wants to wade through 5000 lines to find your syntax errors!
        - Often you discover your own mistake whilst writing an SSCCE.
        - Solving your own problem yields a sense of accomplishment ;-)
    h5. Formatting Matters
    * Post your code between a pair of &#123;code} tags
        - That is: &#123;code} ... your code goes here ... &#123;code}
        - This makes your code easier to read by preserving whitespace and highlighting java syntax.
        - Copy&paste your source code directly from your editor. The forum editor basically sucks.
        - The forums tabwidth is 8, as per [the java coding conventions|http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/].
          - Indents will go jagged if your tabwidth!=8 and you've mixed tabs and spaces.
          - Lines longer than 80 characters should be wrapped.
          - Proper indentation illustrates program logic.
    * Post your error messages between a pair of &#123;code} tags:
        - That is: &#123;code} ... errors here ... &#123;code}
        - To make it easier for us to find, Mark the erroneous line(s) in your source-code. For example:
            System.out.println("Your momma!); // <<<< ERROR 1
        - Note that error messages are rendered basically useless if the code has been
          modified AT ALL since the error message was produced.
        - Here's [How to read a stacktrace|http://www.0xcafefeed.com/2004/06/of-thread-dumps-and-stack-traces/].
    * The forum editor has a "Preview" pane. Use it.
        - If you're new around here you'll probably find the "Rich Text" view is easier to use.
        - WARNING: Swapping from "Plain Text" view to "Rich Text" scrambles the markup!
        - To see how a posted "special effect" is done, click reply then click the quote button.
    If you (the newbie) have covered these bases *you deserve, and can therefore expect, GOOD answers!*
    h1. The pledge!
    We the New To Java regulars do hereby pledge to refrain from flaming anybody, no matter how gumbyish the question, if the OP has demonstrably tried to cover these bases. The rest are fair game.
