Process/templates for gathering information about existing BI functinality

Hi everyone - Excuse me for posting this question to the thread, it is more of a bus analysis question. I need to document an existing BI / reporting system and identify:
1. Usage of the reports
2. Business units using it
3. Can the reports be consolidated
4. Sources being used
5. Business rules being applied
6. Can these reports be deleted
Can you suggest a process or a set to templates, if you have participated in similar initiatives ?
Much appreciated,
Iliya

Thanks, this helps with the usage aspect, looking into it, but my question had more to do with a business analysis process or document templates for gathering information, documenting sources, rules, etc.I would think this goes a bit too far from their knowledge for most people in this forum and you might be better going to BA specialized forums or searching in Google. I could give some sample docs but we don't have templates where I work so it will take me ages to go through them to remove any confidential or sensitive data.

How to determine process template for existing team project ?

Hello,
I have existing team project ( TFS 2013 ) but I don't have information about which process template have been used.
Is there any way to figure out which process template has been configured in existing team project ?
Thank you in advance !
Kind Regards,
Dipti Chhatrapati

You could also check the Process Template version If you have integrated TFS with SharePoint
Here are the steps:
Team Explorer->Click on Documents -> Expand Process Guidance ->Click on ProcessGuidance.aspx
Based on the process template you have used, it will redirect you the guidance page.
Example: You are being redirected to the guidance for the following process template: Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2013.4... (Here i have created a new project on TFS13.4 server with Scrum template)
Thanks, BHSR

Genius can't complete "gathering information about your library" Help!

I am using iTunes 9. I have a 78 GB music library on a network attached drive (it is where my iTunes folder is). iTunes works fine but I cannot turn on Genius. When I try, the status bar opens and it says "gathering information about your library". The status bar fills up about 20% and then I get the spinning beachball. It sits there until I force quit iTunes (which is characterized as "not responding").
I have combed the discussion board to see what other people have done. Here's one thing I tried: quit itunes; went to home folder, then library, then preferences; deleted "com.apple.iTunes.plist"; went to itunes folder and deleted "itunes library extras.itdb" and "itunes library genius.itdb"; emptied trash; restarted iTunes. This did not work.
Does anyone have any other ideas? It looks like the Genius process is getting hung up on something, but I cannot figure out what. Thanks in advance!

Either go to ~/Library/Cookies and delete the file Cookies.plist
Or, if you don't want to delete all your Cookies, delete the relevant Apple cookies from Safari. To do so, quit iTunes, go to Safari and select Preferences -> Security -> Show Cookies. In the search text box enter apple.com. Select all of these files and click to Remove.
I did the first option and Genius worked fine afterwards.

HT204406 iTunes match is stuck on Step 1: Gathering Information about your iTunes Library

iTunes match is stuck on Step 1: Gathering Information about your iTunes Library.
It will not progress past step 1.
I have tryed re-installing iTunes, resetting everything and all that. No luck in getting it to work.
Any suggestions on how I get it to work?

Hi..
"A status indicator will allow you to track progress. You may also manually pause and resume iTunes at any time by clicking the Stop or Start button."
From here > iTunes Store: Troubleshooting iTunes Match
Can you click the Start button?
Sounds like the internet connection is timing out.
Try turning off your router for a few minutes, then turn it back on. Restart your Mac, launch iTunes and try again.

ITunes Match unable to complete "Gathering information about your iTunes library."

All week I have been trying to get 2 separate iTunes accounts on 2 different Macbook on Air's both running iTunes 11.3.1(2) on Mavericks 10.9.5 - the progress bar crawls along and never actually reaches the end. Both iTunes Match accounts are completely empty (i.e. show zero media available on connected iOS devices). I have signed in and out of iTunes Match, deleted the libraries and re-added them etc. but the scan just isn't working.
So, is iTunes Match being discontinued ahead of the announcements on 9/9 or is this a temporary glitch, or something thats just local to Spain?

I'm having the exact same issue on a fresh windows 7 install...pretty annoying. After a few minutes of Genius in iTunes 9.0.2 gathering information about my music library my PC crashes and turns off. This is the only issue my computer has...help?

The Exception Handler gave all the info that you need. No need to print the whole stack trace.
The exception handler says
Exception Details: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Look in the session bean (assuming that is where your underlying rowset is). Look in the _init() method for statements similar to the following:

What do you have?

Gathering Information about IP

Hi guys,
I'm developing an aplication where I need to get geografic information about a IP...
I've searched in many foruns, in google, and other references, but I not found
Can someone give me a advice ??
Thank you

Basically you need a list that maps IPs to locations. Doing this by country is not too difficult because generally ranges are assigned by country and you can find this information via Google.
But after countries it get's more complicated in a hurry. You'd have to find the netblock owner and go with that address. But none of this is 100 accurate.
To be honest I don't think you really need this information. More likely is if attacked you want to know the range of IPs the attack comes from and block/flag/whatever accordingly.

Function module for getting information about position workflow

Hi,
Version SRM 4.
Only approval WF (workflow for position WS145000015), my customer needs a report with fields about approvers and times.
We have implemented it mainly using the FM BBP_PDH_WFL_WI_FROM_OBJECT_GET and considering the task (WI_RH_TASK=TS14508044) there we get the agent.
But when the approver approve or reject we have not seen how we can get the information specific for each position
We need to know programatically how to get who is the approver for each position when he approve and we reject.
Does anybody know what funcion modules, methods we can use
Thanks
Best regards
Jorge

Before creating any customer reports, first check standard transaction SWI5, this workload analysis tool is very powerful and gives an immediate insight in the business processes.
for custom reports you have to use a couple of the SAP_WAPI_* function modules to safely retrieve all the data you need.

Flash gathering information about a directory

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem i am
having.
From within Flash I would like to be able to scan a
directory, not local, and place the information in an array. With
this ability I would also like to be able to go unlimited-(within
reason) directories deep and also load the file/folder information
into an array.
Essentially, creating an array for each level in a specified
directory.
Any and all help with this would be greatly
appreciated.

Search Google - there are loads of PHP based file &
directory scripts
floating around.

I am seeing "gathering information" forever

When I start iTunes it goes through "Gathering information about your iTunes library" and the prgress bar goes all the way to the right. And nothing beyond that ever happens. Activity Monitor shows iTunes using (at this moment, 60% CPU but I have seen it as high as 170%. If I use the Stop button it stops but resumes shortly after. I tried turning Match off and then back on but that didn't change a thing.
When I originally did the Match it seemed to go fine. I had a few errors, quite a few "Matched", many "Uploaded" and even more "Purchased", and what seemed to be a lot of "Waiting" but those cleared mostly over a few days. Now everything is either "Waiting" or "Not Eligible" ...
I haven't seen anyone else with the problem yet and thought you all might be able to help.

I have seen similar problems with individual songs in 'Gathering for Information' never proceeding after I have been able to get my whole library into match. Every once in awhile, match will go back and do an update or I will add some music and it will get stuck. What I am finding is it gets stuck on songs it downloaded via match (i.e. matched songs from my library or purchased songs I deleted and redownloaded from match). Perhaps my solution for this case pertains to those with new libraries - I think it is a corrupt file or library entry in iTunes and I found a way to see which file it is stuck on.
On OSX:
- open up Activity Monitor
- Select the iTunes process. It usually shows activity constant around 60%
- Choose inspect
- Select Open Files and Ports
- Watch or scroll thru the list. Eventually you will notice a file name and path for a song to repeatedly flash or show up in the list and disappear. It may take a few seconds looking at different parts of the list to notice the changes as the list updates in real time. If a file contines to repeat, this is the song that is messed up. Remove it from your itunes library and see if match will then work.
If it was a bad file, you can try to re-add it but it will likely fail again. For songs I had downloaded from match that caused this for me, I just redownloaded from match and then it worked. I don't know if it was the file or the itunes library itself that was corrupt.
