Problem with Essbase variable setting in maxl

Hi,
I have a short question about changing variables using maxl.
I used the following statement to change the variable value to 'Jan'.
alter database Testapp.Plan1 set variable TestVar Jan;
The problem is that this does not change the value of the variable. No error is reported though.
The variable is explicitly initialized on this database (so I didn't use the 'all dbs' setting).
I just don't see where I'm going wrong. Do you guys have any idea?
Thanks for your answer :)
Mike

Hi,
Looks valid to me....
All of the following combinations work and update the variable value.
MAXL> alter database Sample.Basic set variable CurrMonth Jan;
OK/INFO - 1056023 - Database Sample.Basic altered.
MAXL> alter database Sample.Basic set variable CurrMonth 'Feb';
OK/INFO - 1056023 - Database Sample.Basic altered.
MAXL> alter database Sample.Basic set variable 'CurrMonth' 'Mar';
OK/INFO - 1056023 - Database Sample.Basic altered.
Cheers

Problems with /tmp variable

Hi,
I'm writing a shell script and I seem to be having problems with a variable that is creates a directory in the /tmp directory. Essentially, there are several points where various parts of the script call out information that gets exported to that directory. My script is failing upon creation of this directory, is there any specific permissions on the /tmp directory in mac that would need to be set before something like this occurred?
Thanks!

My script is failing upon creation of this directory
Maybe you could post your code, that way we can see how you're trying to create the directory and may be able to spot the problem. As it is we're working blind, and that's not easy.

Hi,
here is some idea.. here i have taken expample dates 1)notification creation date and 2) notification completion.
1st:in the query designer at key figure coloumn create
one local formula.in that local formula create formula
variable with replacement path.in that take reference character
notification completion.in the next tab take replace ment
as key.in the last tab select "date".
2nd: do the same thing for the notification creation date.
3 rd : create 3 rd local formula and do the substraction
for the first 2 local formulas.
4th:create codition on the difference which u have find with
on that condition u can create one user entry varibale.
5th:while u defining the query put these 2 dates,i,e
notification completion, notification creation date in the character block.
If not system will ignore the formula variable which u created in
above steps.
Hope this wil help u.

Problem with String variable

I am new to Java Programming.
I have a line of code that works and does what is supposed to.
faceData.getProfile("Lisa").removeFriend("Curtis");
If I assign the strings to variables such as-
String name = "Lisa";
String fName = "Curtis";
and then plug those into the same line of code, it does not work
faceData.getProfile(name).removeFriend(fName);
What could be causing the problem?
I even added some lines to print out what is stored in the variables to verify that they are what they should be, but for some reason the variables do not work while putting the strings in quotes does. Any ideas?

I guarantee that something about your assertions are incorrect. Those variables are either not equal to the values you claim, or something else is going on. But it's not a problem with string variables versus string constants.
Edit: My best guess in lack of a real example from you, is that the strings in question have non-printable characters in them, such as trailing spaces or line feeds.

Problem with Essbase add-in 9.2.1 and office 2010.

Hi all,
we have a problem with Essbase add in 9.2.1 and office 2010.
Every time when a user opens Excel a new (additionally) euntry in the ad-on menue appears.
Indeed what happens is, that the add-in is loaded n-times.
At the first start of excel one time, second two times and so on...
Thtas's very annoying.
Can someone confirm this issue or even better know a workaround.
(A way we have found so far to ease the pain a bit -well only temporary- is to disable the ad-in, close Excel and start it again.
However with every new start of execel the issues begins again.
But that's not a solution you can recommand to the end user.)
Any help is welcome.
Thank you in advance!

Problem with a data set: DIAdem crashes

Hi,
I've got a problem with a data set. When I want to zoom in DIAdem-View, DIAdem crashes with the following message (translated from German ;-):
error type: FLOAT INEXACT RESULT or FLOAT INVALID OPERATION or FLOAT STACK CHECK
error address: 00016CB8
module name: gfsview.DLL
I've got some similar data set not showing such problems. Further on I scanned the data a bit, but in the 59000 points I didn't see anything special. I did try to delete "NOVALUE"s as well, but after that there still exist "NOVALUE"s.
Does anyone have an idea what to look for?
Thanks,
Carsten

Carsten,
Could you please upload you Citadel database to the following FTP site:
ftp.ni.com/incoming
If you want to compress (ZIP) and/or put a password on the data, that's fine. Please send me a private email at [email protected] (with the file name and password if you put one on the file) once you have uploaded the file and I will check it out.

TPC 2012 - Problems with shared variable

Hi,
I tried to program simmilar thing to this one http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5548 on TPC 2012. But it doesn't work.I can see that both programs on my laptop and TPC are working(I've added an additional counter with display), but I cannot see any effect on TPC when I change the value of shared variable on my laptop. I use LabView 8.6 with Touch Panel Module. My question is what are the exact steps to run such application on TPC2012? Are they the same as for TPC 2006?
I've noticed following issues:
1.I cannot deploy the program from Project Manager(there is an information that maybe TPC Service is not started. - I've found such information about TPC Service http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/DE177828D27A14A48625734E00768B66 but in fact I cannot find Start » All Programs»National Instruments » NI TPC Service » NI TPC Service Manager 1.0 Does it mean, that the TPC Service is not installed and the programm with shared varibles won't be working or can I start it somehow in another way? Do I need to have TPC service installed on TPC2012?
Until now, I've built the project and sent it through FTP to TPC(the folder was /TEMP) and then started it.
2.Ping works OK
Thank you in advance for any hints how to solve this problem.

Problem with application-variables - CFLOCK?

Hi,
i have a problem with my application. It is a multi-user
application with 100 parallel-users and CFMX 7.
The problem wich occures is with application variables. These
are mainly structs wich get filled onApplicationStart(). The
problem is, that the variables suddenly disappear, they are empty.
I have read about CFLock and found out, that it is necesseary
to use cflock. And i found out, that onApplicationStart does
correct locking automatically. That is where i do not understand
the problem. The variables get intialized correctly and in further
they only get read-access. Why can they be corrupted?
My other question about that is, wheather i need cflock for
all Read-Access to Application and Session-Variables, even if there
happens no writing to the variables?
Best Regards,
Andreas

> The array is in this case the struct.
Well, OK, that could be a problem. Arrays are not structs:
they are two
different things, are not interchangeable, and have
completely different
sets of functions to utilise them. You cannot treat a struct
as an array.
If CF is claiming your "struct" is an array, then it actually
*is* an
array, not a struct.
What's the line of code which is generating that error?
I suppose one could get this error if you have an array of
structs thus:
myArray
.key1
myArray.key2
(etc)
and you're trying to reference it with a numeric key rather
than by key
name, eg:
myArray
[n]
When n is an integer value, rather than a string (which
corresponds to the
name of the key).

So does this not happen in your dev / testing environment?

I would ***-u-me that the application one would be called
before the
request one. It's pretty easy for you to test this though, I
should think?
(Sorry: for reasons beyond the scope of this conversation,
we're still
forced to use Application.cfm in our software, so I've only a
passing
knowledge of how Application.cfc works).

One thing I will say here is that I really think you should
be separating
your processing from your display. A function should do
processing. it
should pass that processing back to a CFM template which
should handle
whatever needs to be displayed on the browser. Although
that's nowt to do
with your current issue.

Purchased ColdFusion 10: Having problem with session variables

My Dept. has just bought CF10 and I'm finally updating my existing web app to CF10 from CF8. My First Problem with CF10 is using session variables.
When using the lower version of CF (since CF 4 to 8) I have never had any problem setting up session variables and getting or using these variables in other pages after a successful login but with CF 10 it seems setting session variables and using them in other pages are a major problems. I'm not sure where have I done wrong in the codes.
First I'm setting the session in my Application.cfc This way:
<cfcomponent displayname="Application" output="true">
<cfset THIS.Name ="MyNewApp"/>
<cfset THIS.ApplicationTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,0,20,0) />
<cfset THIS.SessionManagement ="YES"/>
<cfset THIS.SessionTimeout = CreateTimeSpan( 0, 0, 20, 0 ) />
<cfset THIS.SetClientCookies = false />
<cffunction name="OnApplicationStart" access="public" returntype="boolean" output="false">
<cfset application.Main_DSN = "TESTDB">
<cfreturn true />
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="onApplicationEnd" output="false">
      <cfargument name="applicationScope" required="true">
    </cffunction>
<cffunction name="OnSessionStart" access="public" returntype="void" output="false" hint="Fires when user session initializes.">
<cfset session.loggedin = "NO">
<cfset session.username = "">
<cfset session.userrights = "">
<cfset session.usergroup = "">
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
After login, user is validated and set values to those session.variables:
........user validation codes here......................
<cfif mylogin NEQ true>
      <cflocation url="/login/login.cfm">
      <cfabort
<cfelse>
      <cfset session.loggedin="Yes">
      <cfset session.username="#Trim(Form.username)#">
     <CFSET qUserRights = LoginObj.getUserRights('#Trim(Form.username)#')>
     <cfset session.userrights = qUserRights>
    <CFSET qUserGroup = LoginObj.getUserGroup('#Trim(Form.username)#')>
        <cfloop query="qUserGroup">
           <cfset session.usergroup = user_group>
           <cfbreak>
        </cfloop>
    
   <cfdump var="#session.loggedin#">
   <cfdump var="#session.username#">
   <cfdump var="#session.userright#">
   <cfdump var="#session.usergroup#">
</cfif>
In index.cfm, Before Login I got:
session.loggedin = NO
session.username = ["empty string"]
session.userrights = ["empty string"]
session.usergroup = ["empty string"]
After a successful Login:
session.loggedin = NO
session.username = ["empty string"]
session.userrights = ["empty string"]
session.usergroup = ["empty string"]
Have I done something wrong? These codes work on CF8. Please help.
I need to mentioned:
CF10 is in Linux and my web app is under https not http. But these session variables should be shared bentween http and https because some older application are still in http.

On which page is the following code?
After login, user is validated and set values to those session.variables:
........user validation codes here......................
<cfif mylogin NEQ true>
      <cflocation url="/login/login.cfm">
      <cfabort
<cfelse>
      <cfset session.loggedin="Yes">
      <cfset session.username="#Trim(Form.username)#">
     <CFSET qUserRights = LoginObj.getUserRights('#Trim(Form.username)#')>
     <cfset session.userrights = qUserRights>
    <CFSET qUserGroup = LoginObj.getUserGroup('#Trim(Form.username)#')>
        <cfloop query="qUserGroup">
           <cfset session.usergroup = user_group>
           <cfbreak>
        </cfloop>
    
   <cfdump var="#session.loggedin#">
   <cfdump var="#session.username#">
   <cfdump var="#session.userright#">
   <cfdump var="#session.usergroup#">
</cfif>

Update Essbase Cfg setting using MAXL or ESSCMD

Hi All,
I want to change the essbase.cfg settings using MAXL or Esscmd. Is this possible? I could figure out changing Substitution Variables but am looking forward to change settings like CALCCACHE, etc...
If yes, please let me know any insights on the same.
Thanks,
AJ.

There is no pre defined feature that allows you to do this, but if you want to override the values in .cfg file, depending on what those values are, you can just set them in your calc script, ie: CalcCache, etc. It is best to do this manually anyway, as once you finished, you will need to recycle the Essbase service for them to take effect.

Problem with passing variable to restful uri's.

I have a restful URI in the format http://localhost/functionname/{itemID}. I use this URI to retrieve JSON formatted information. Through Flash Builder 4 data services I create an operation that makes use of this URI and I also hame itemID a URL parameter. The problem is that whenever I call this function from my program Flex uses the following URI instead " http://localhost/functionname/%7BitemID%7C" in other words it doesnt replace the "{itemID}" with my variable. I am using SDK 3.4 to compile. Is this a known bug and if yes how can I circumvent it? Please notice that the project needs to compile using SDK 3.4 no matter what. Thank you for reading.

Depending on how you set it up, it isn't clear that the compiler will see
as a binding expression. What does your code look like that sets
it up?

Problem with hierarchy variable while displaying query in Portal

Hi,
I came up with an problem with a query in the portal. The problem is :
I have one query which is displayed in the portal. The Query has hierarchial selection criteria. I am executing the same query using analyzer. Its taking the variable from the selection and displaying it on the analyzer. I have used the option to " display the query on web " from the BEX query designer. From there its opening and displaying the results with the given selection criteria.
Where as when i open the query seperately in portal, its not displaying the results.
I came to know from one of my colleague that the porblem is with the Web item and the hierarchial variable declared in WAD was different from the variable declared in the BEX Query designer.
I never Worked with WAD. I tried finding out the variable definition. But i was unable to find out where the Hierarchial variable was defined.
Please help me out regarding the same.

The problem is sovled.

Problem with the fullscreen setting in Mountain lion

Hi, I am experiencing a problem with the full screen setting of my Mountain Lion. The trouble is that when I run certain apps such as Zotero or Scrivener and I open, say, the preferences window, this is automatically set in fullscreen, although it should not be. I have already got in contact with the Scrivener team and they suggested that was a problem related to one of the apps I use to manage my windows, i.e. RIghtzoom and Window Tidy. Following up this suggestion I uninstalled and restarted my laptop, but nothing has changed. I wonder if anyone has already experienced this problem or if you have any suggestions. Thanks.
Alfredo

Here a short video which shows the problem I am talking about
