PT8.51 HRMS 9.1 Developer Workstation

Does anyone have any suggestions/requirements for a new notebook PC that will be used as the main workstation for an upgrade to PT8.50 HRMS 9.1, 2 tier connection, SQL/Developer, then as developer workstation doing all types of Peoplesoft custom development, XML Reporter, some Java and web development also.
I find minimum requirements, but want something robust enough to carry me for a while, and don't want to undercut my estimate for resources, but need to justify what I request. (Linux/Oracle platform)

I'm still not sure to understand your needs, but anyway : any modern laptop with 64bit CPU, 4Gb RAM (min) and 250Gb HD (min).
Still Windows XP Pro is the one you should go to have supported config (and probably less issues over the different), otherwise Windows 7 and install some Virtual software to build supported guest OS (e.g. OEL), but that would required a little bit more memory and disk space.

SP2010 Foundation Post Install issues on development workstation - Database and Services

Just recently installed SP2010 Foundation for a development workstation. Platform isWin7 X64 pro, SQL 2008 (Developer edition)
(1) Looks like search has some configuration issues. This is in the Windows event log
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.SharePoint.Search.Administration.SPSearchJobDefinition (ID 38eefca2-d092-47f4-a833-23f8280c5f63) threw an exception. More information is included below.
The device is not ready.
(2) In Central Admin > Servers in Farm
Status - "Upgrade Available",
(3) In Central Admin > Manage Database Upgrade Status
Sveral of the Datbase(s) mention that upgrade is recommended, but one in particular mentions that the DB is too old?
WSS_Search_GHHTY
SPSearchDatabase
Database is too old and upgrade is required
Huh?
(4) Looking at my local SQL 2008 instance that SP2010 created, I see several DB's with "Config" in the name along with a guid on the end of the name. Is the result of re-running the configuration wizard several times while
I was correcting install issues?

here is question, i am assuming its fresh install not upgrade...
when you run the config wizard( you mentioned many times), which option you select from 2nd try to on ward....cannot disconnect this server from farm?
are you using any script to install ?
I would say run the config wizard without disconnecting and this server will host CA option.
from the central admin > manager server in farm...on top you will see farm version and config database name. note it
from the Manage database Upgrade status page note all the db names
now match it on sql and keep those and all other should gone now as a clean process.
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

Problem in installing Netweaver developer workstation

Hi,

Hi Anushree,
Let me make it clear. sorry for confusion
I could not understand where u said "Please make sure that a JDK is installed on this host and that SAPINST_JRE_HOME points to the root
directory of your Java installation. As an alternative you may start the GUI Server on another host." Could you please elaborate on it?
Where exactly should the JDK be installed?
Answer: Installation error of NW04s
Does it make any difference to install a different version of JDK when the installation guide clearly recommmends the usage of one version?
Absolutely yes,,but It somehow worked for 08 for me. go ahead with 09 as per recommendation.
Where can I find SAPINST_JRE_HOME? The installation no where asks for any input where I can mention the directory of Java installation.
You can put environmental variable called SAPINST_JRE_HOME=<Your JDK Installation path> where ever and make sure it's in the path, veryifying with PATH
on cmd-prompt. and follow the above URL as it clearly says the same problem
Also disable any ant-virus if it's running
Hope that helps

Reg: Mobile Development Workstation - Developer/license Keys

Hi,
I have installed Mobile Development Workstation for CRM release 5.0 on my machine.
Now do I require any Developer license/keys for using this application,as we do for Developer/object keys?
If yes,how to get it from OSS?
I am confused,please help.
Rgs
Ipsita.

So in case of using ADF, we should license Jdeveloper for each developer that uses it ?
Let's say we have 2 projects at different clients both being developed with ADF and 4 developers working for them in a central location, all of them developing the application with the Jdeveloper embedded OC4J.
Then for production we would have $5k per processor for each client + maintenance fees.
And for development the minimum is to pay $1000 in this case ?
So far I understood that while in development (and evaluation) we were able to use Jdeveloper and ADF for free, and when going into production then was where we need to pay the license.
Indeed in http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/jdevpricefaq.html#14 it says: "Developers will continue to be able to run Oracle ADF applications on the OC4J instance included with JDeveloper for testing and debugging."
Anyone at Oracle that can clarify on this ?
Thanks again,
Claudio.

Siebel Developer workstation - hardware recommendations

According to the SRSP for Tools client a minimum is a PII 500 or Celeron 800 with 512K. For the mobile client requirements is even less. I have installed Tools and mobile client on a Celeron 3Ghz, 480Mb memory for setting up a Developer.
Often the developer will have the client and tools open... When trying to work on this workstation it is very very slow...
Pls. what would be a "practical" hardware recommendation for a Developer workstation ?
Txs. Antonio

Hi,
Core 2 Duo or i3 with minimum 4GB memory is more than sufficient.
Actually, tools and client consume more RAM compare to processing.

I5 versus i7 for development workstation

I'm trying to design a new development workstation that will be used for local SQL Server development some of the time.
The shop goes back and forth between recommending the Intel i5 and i7 processors. The main difference for my purposes is going to be that while they are both four-core processors, the i7 also supports hyperthreading so it can work as eight cores.
For local development purposes, do I care? As soon as I'm actually doing development on a remote server, of course it doesn't matter at all. And my IO configuration is never going to resemble a big corporate SAN - I may have nothing but two local
SSDs, actually, so my IO may be better, unless I intentionally buy a slower rotating disk or attach one via USB (pretty wild, isn't this all!?!) And few companies are likely to want me to have real copies of their 100gb++ databases so the data
will never be exactly right, either.
So I think I've just talked myself into saving $100 and a little electricity by going with the i5!
Anyone disagree?
Thanks,
Josh

Hi Josh,
To be honest, if saving $100 is of particular importance then running i5s against i7s on a development box should not particularly be a great handicap to you. Having the same number of logical cores would be useful for parallelism testing of your queries
(and you same the numbers across each are the same), but obviously in these instances you should also have similar data sets so that your query plans are created the same (since these are based on the histogram distributions). In other words make sure you
have enough representive storage and memory, but i5s will be fine.

Best Practices for Workshop IDE (Development Workstation Setup)

Is there any Oracle documentation that describes best practices for setting up Workshop and developing on a workstation that includes Oracle's ODSI, OSB, Portal, and WLI? We are using all these products on a weblogic server for each developer's machine and experiencing performance and reliability issues. What's the optimal way to use these products on a developer's workstation. Thanks.

Hi,
Currently you dont see such best practice site with in workshop.
but you can verify most issues from doc.

CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi,
I am currently developing an ASP.NET website using Visual Studio.NET 2005. I am using the .NET 2.0 framework, VB.NET as my programming language and I connect successfully to a SQL Server 2005 database. I can select, insert, update and delete data from the database elsewhere in my project, so I know basic connectivity isn't an issue. The problem seems to be with Crystal Reports.
I created a folder called 'Reports' in my project and added a Crystal Report file (OpenFiles.rpt) to it. I designed the report and initally used a hard-coded SQL query as its datasource so I could quickly get the database fields onto the report and preview them. All worked fine.
To make the report accessible to the rest of the website, I created an .xsd dataset file containing the three tables (and their corresponding tableadapters) that the report requires and then redeveloped the report using the dataset as the datasource for the report. After doing this, the preview no longer worked.
Next, I added a page to the website and dragged a Crystal Report Viewer Control onto it. In the code behind the page I wrote:
Option Strict On
Imports System.Data
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
Partial Class Reports
 Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

 Dim strReportId As String
 Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReports()
 Dim reportPath As String = Server.MapPath("OpenFiles.rpt")
 Dim rptopenfiles As New ReportDocument
 rptOpenFiles.Load(reportPath) <== I checked this during execution and the value correctly points to the OpenFiles.rpt file in the Reports folder of my project
 Dim ConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo()
 ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = my database
 ConnectionInfo.UserID = login id of user
 ConnectionInfo.Password = user's password
 SetDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo, rptopenfiles)
 CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rptopenfiles
 End Sub

 Dim myTableLogonInfo As TableLogOnInfo = myTable.LogOnInfo
 myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = ConnectionInfo
 myTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(myTableLogonInfo)
 Next
 End Sub
End Class
I added a hyperlink to one of the existing pages on the website to navigate to this page with the report viewer on it. When I run the website in Visual Studio and click on the hyperlink I get the following:

Any ideas, anyone?
Also, assuming I can get past this error, I will need to figure out how to fill the tables in the .xsd dataset file. I have written a class for the dataset that includes functions that populate the tables in the dataset from the database by executing SQL queries. But how do I call these functions at the time the report is run?
This is my first Crystal report written in .NET and I've been struggling with it for days now. Any help would be most appreciated!
Thanks very much!

hello, the error message is obviously coming from one of the installed mcafee extensions. please directly contact mcafee technical support - they can likely give you more detailed guidance and are the only ones who can fix bugs or make necessary adjustments in the addon.

Best practice: team based development with JDeveloper and CVS?

Hi all!
I was wondering of what is the best way to work with Jdev 9i and cvs on a same project with 5 developers whereas
all developers use the same JPRs and JWS?
Which of the files should be checked in to the central CVS repository, which should be remained on the local machine of each developer?
I assume, all java and xml files might be stored in the cvs repository. But how can we make sure that new files written by a member of the team will be added to my project?
If we also check in the JPR and CFG files the merge of concurrent JPRs will fail and our project will be shreddered ;-)
My question: what is your best experience with simultanous development on same projects?
Any idea?
Many thanks,
Stefan

1. Put everything that your project needs under CVS control:
- buildscripts
- BC4J jarfiles
- BC4J generated files (java, xml, xcfg, jpx, cpx)
- .properties, package.html, gif, ...
- docu
- install scripts
- starter batch or exec, ...
2. Each developer should have a own JPR and JWS file. In a seperate location those files could be checked in frequently to easy allow the setup of a new Developer workstation
3. Use a sourcecode formatter (e.g. jalopy) on the BC4J generated java files to reduce merge conflicts because of empty lines generated by JDev dialogs
4. Adding new files is no problem:
- if you add new BC4J objects (AM, VO, ASC, EO, VL) also checkin the bc4j package XML so new files will be added.
- set in project settings common / input paths - "Scan source path ..."
5. Deleting BC4J files is a problem, because JDev does not automatically remove them from the project. So if someone deletes BC4J objects, you should close the project and delete it manually from the jpr file
6. Close the project before making a CVS update wih external tool like Tortoise because of JDev caches

Oracle External Table SELECT FROM problem from workstation

At Solaris Oracle database server console.
Created directory on the Solaris server as Oracle owner.
As SYS created oracle directory object on that Solaris directory
Granted read/write to SCHEMA_OWNER on that oracle directory object.
Using OS Oracle user, moved a tab-delimited flat file into the Solaris directory.
Logged on a SCHEMA_OWNER using SQLPLUS on the Solaris database server.
Ran external table script in SQLPLUS.
External table was created.
Ran Select * from ext_table.
Appropriate dataset returned.
So at the Oracle Solaris server console,
the create external table script worked without errors,
and a select from statement on the external table worked without errors.
Move to developer workstation:
Logged on as SCHEMA_OWNER using SQLPLUS on Windows workstation.
TNSNAMES of course points to the Solaris database server.
Ran the external table script in SQLPLUS.
External table was created.
Ran Select * from ext_table.
This failed with these errors:
ORA29913 error executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA29400 data cartridge error
cant open logfile.log
OS permission denied
ORA06512 sys.oracle_loader line 19
So how can I select from external tables from a windows workstation?
Any guidance on this problem would be appreciated.

Thank you for your response.
I am not creating the external table on the workstation.
In both cases,
from the Solaris console
and from the Windows workstation
the external table is being created on the Solaris file system
in an Oracle Directory object
running an SQL script from SQLPLUS prompt.
The external table creator, schema owner, has read and write permissions
granted by SYS on the oracle directory object.
The problem is:
Logged in as the schema owner,
you can select * from ext_table from the Solaris console SQLPLUS,
but you can not select * from ext_table from the Windows workstation SQLPLUS.
You can DROP TABLE ext_table from the Windows workstation SQLPLUS.
You just cannot select * from ext_table from the Windows workstation SQLPLUS.
I guess as a test,
I can drop from the ext_table creation script the references
to discardfile, badfile, and logfile,
and remove this other file objects from the equation...
which appears to be a file permissions problem.

Report development/publishing workflow - best practices?

Before starting to work with Crystal Reports Server, I saved my development reports on my local machine, checking them into Subversion for version control, and copying changed reports up to the public share for general use. However, since installing CRS, I've been saving directly to the server.
Should I be continuing to develop my reports in the local filesystem, and then use the Publishing Wizard to copy the changes up to the server? Or are there benefits to continuing with the direct method? What are other people doing?
Thanks.

For new reports you can use the Publishing Wizard, but it doesn't work for report updates - it will create a new report instead of overwriting the existing one.
We're in BO XI, but the concepts are the same. Here's what we do:
All reports get created and updated on the developer workstation. They're then checked in to version control. I've written a publishing tool using the SDK that can then be used to add or update reports. The tool also sets some of the properties on the report, such as the database login, that may change between our Dev, QA and Production environments.
The other way to update reports is to publish from within Crystal like you're using it now. If you have multiple environments, you'll then have to go into the CMC and manually update the db login for the report because it will overwrite whatever was saved with it in CS.

Mobile Dev Workstation on windows 7 SP1

Hi Guys,
Did anyone of you install mobile development workstation on Windows 7 SP1?
I am trying to build one with Mobile 7.0 SP 8 but the prerequisite screen seems to fail - with WIn 7 SP1 and Visual Studio 8.
i applied note 1607630 to fix the same issue with mobile client. But when i try to install mdw, the failure message is seen.
Is there any other note/method/fix for this?
thanks
Mahesh

This MDW is not supported. We had upgraded our system to EHP1 SP05 to get the Windows based MDW.

Mobile devlopment workstation and Mobile client install on same server

Hi,
Can we install Mobile development workstation and mobile client on same server?
I have already installed mobile development workstation , but when i try to install mobile client on same server it says that add,remove ,modify option install screen. It lis not allowing me to enter new screen.
Any idea.
- tom

When you install the MD Workstation you are opted to choose among different applications i.e. mobile sales, mobile service, mobile system maintenance or authorization management tool. You can there choose the application to install besides the installation of the MD Workstation.
If you want to add application(s) later, you have to choose 'modify' and choose all parts for the MD Workstation plus the applications. If you omit options chosen before when doing the first installation then these will be removed. So be shure to choose ALL relevant things for the application as well as for the MD Workstation.
You can also generate the application from the installed repository, there are several notes on this subject available ('how to generate an application') which are referred to in about any installation guide or note changing the msa coding.

Confused with one of the S/w prerequistes for Mobile Dev. Workstation

Hi,
Currently, I'm trying to install Mobile Development Workstaion, and in process of meeting all the S/w prerequisites before installing the workstation. One of the prerequisites say that "The Monotype Corporation plc Arial Narrow True Type Font".
Software Prerequisites For Mobile Development Workstation
-->Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP
-->Microsoft Internet Explorer version IE 6.0, SP 1
-->Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (Personal Edition)
-->The Monotype Corporation plc Arial Narrow True Type Font
-->SUN Java 2 Standard Development Kit, Standard Edition Version 1.4.2_07 to 1.4.2_09
-->Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 2003 (Professional or Enterprise Edition)
-->Microsoft Outlook 2000 (optional, for integration with Mobile Client Daily Activities/ Calendar)
-->Lotus Notes 5.0 (optional, for integration with Mobile Client Daily Activities/Calendar)
-->Seagate Crystal Reports 10.0 (optional, required if you want to design your own reports)
-->Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 (optional)
-->PcAnywhere (optional; required for support). If you use Microsoft Windows 2000, make sure that PcAnywhere is version 9.2.1 August 2006 11
Where can I find/get this font from? please help me in this regard.
Regards,
Praveen

Praveen
I never cared about the presence of this font and it always worked - but then it could be that this is linked to the fact that I always used an english or german windows version. I'd say that if the normal character set (western europe) is supported, it works w/o problems.

Well, that database is very much out of date, and I don't even think you'd be able to easily get the patches from Oracle any more as they haven't supported that version for many years now. If you have a support contract with Oracle you could try asking for the relevant patch.
Other than that, you're looking at upgrading the database to something more recent and supported.

Thank you for the quick response. Yes, it's true it is an old database, but that's what we're using here. I used Patch12 which I thought was the most recent patch.

Aside from the ancient software you have, you never told us what the trouble is.
An error message? A syntax error? Something else?

She's tried several different scenarios and still is not able to compile a "XXFPQLTR" form.
It still appears to be something with the xxfps_price_pkg package in the get_rates procedure. If she comments out the line below it won't blow her out of forms.
If it's in there, it tells her it's encountered an error, and closes forms with a non-descript error message.
She attempted to hit 'debug' instead of 'close' when she got the forms error, and it did not provide herwith any further information .... it just blew up.
Forms is only blowing up when she tries to compile a form that accesses pl/sql tables . If we take out the procedure that has the pl/sql she can compile the form.

Forms is not PL/SQL and PL/SQL is not forms. Yes, somewhat common language. No, very different as one runs on the client (Forms) and the other runs on the server (PL/SQL).
And this is a PL/SQL forums - not Forms. So answers will tend to be about PL/SQL and not Forms. Make sure you do not mistake these as answers for Forms.
In your sho3s.. I would dump Forms in favour of using Oracle 11gr2 with Apex.

I've applied Patch12 to no avail
So, what is your PL/SQL Version now that you've applied Patch 12?
Patch12 is not the latest patch but but Patch17 is
True, but you always want your development environments to match your production environment. If Prod is currently at Patch 12, then Patch 12 should be installed on ALL developer workstations.
It is entirely possible that the problem is truly isolated to this one workstation. Have you tried performing a complete Unistall/Install of the Developer Suite (DS) 6i? With version 6i, I also found running Microsoft's RegClean tool often cleared up issues with the DS 6i. Microsoft no longer supports RegClean, but you can find it on the internet.
you can put the code in a database procedure instead of a Forms procedureIf things still don't work after all this, I agree with InoL, perhaps the best option would be to move your logic to a database procedure and call the DB procedure from your Form.
Out of curiosity, what is your Workstation operating system?
