Query of catalog

Hi experts
As I know,we can define object,cause,damage and other code in catalog function.
I want to know if we can specify some catalog to corresponding equipment type.
I mean in notification, we input an equipment, then system just show the
catalog which related to the equipment type. can we achive this function?
thanks in advance!

Hi,
catalog profile can be assigned to equipment and functional location master data in organization tab. whenever you raise a notification or create a service order based onthe reference object it will get copied form equipment.
the path to define catalog profile in IMG as follows
IMG-PM&CS-Maintenance and service processing-Maintenance and service notificationnotification creationnotification content--Define catalog profile.

Query RMAN catalog to view my controlfile backup in backup piece

version: 11.1.0.7
We need to restore an year old database and its backup is availble in TAPE, RMAN directly takes backup to TAPE.
we have dropped the database, Now there is a requirement to restore the database.
we Know DBID, I can restore the db once i can restore the contolfile.
However we did not have controlfile auto backup. whenever there is FULL/incremental backup cotnrolfile is included in that backup. now we have the rman catalog for that database. so How I can query rman catalog to find which backup piece containing the latest controlfile? once we know the backuppiece info, we can restore controlfile from that piece
any help on this?

Unable to find Cube / Query in Catalog (Designer)

Hello,
Our current environment consists of BW Queries which are access by BO Universes. When creating a Universe we were able to see all queries but since we did some changes to the MP and cubes we don't see the queries anymore from BO Side.
Also the current reports fail with an error "Unable to find Cube <QueryName> in catalog".
The queries used in the universes are still visible and accessible in BEx Analyzer.
What I tried so far (with a super user) is:
1. Generate query again -> no change
2. Save the query again -> no change
3. Remove the flag u201CAllow external Access to this queryu201D, save query and flag the option again -> no change
4. Activate the MultiProvider again -> no change
5. Copy the query to another query u2013
     -> New query is accessible. This means the MP and cubes are not the reason. It seems like the query is gone in an inactive modeu2026
6. Used BAPI BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_CUBES to get the list of accessible queries.
     -> I see the same list as in BO. Most queries are missing. The ones that are in the list disappear whenever we try to access these queries from BO.
Did anyone encounter the same issue and was able to solve it?
Environment: SAP BI 7.1 EHP1 SP5, BO XI 3.1 SP2(1.7).
Thanks in advance.
Manu

Hi Manu,
your are talking about universe designer here - right?
We have the same behaviour currently in Crystal 2008 designer and universe designer.
In both we can see the same but not the complete list of queries.
We made sure the "allow external access" option is set in BEX.
We resolved both issues with same root cause : adjust Query properties -> Req. status ->   ...
Pls refer to thread Unable to find BW Query while creating connection with universe designer as well - thanks Ingo !
- logon to the SAP system
- start transaction RSRT
- enter the technical name of the BW query in the syntax CUBE/QUERY
- click Properties
- set the second item called Req.Status.
- set that one to 0
Let us know if this helped !

Querying OBIEE catalog with SQL Developer

Hi all,
is it possible to query the Oracle BI server catalog with SQL developer via ODBC or JDBC.
I have done it with Cognos but I don't see how it can be made.
suppose that ii have DSN Oracle BI server,
I tried to put the connection parameters like this in sql developer
Hostname : localhost
Port : 9703
SID : AnalyticsWeb ( I tried also ORACLE BI SERVER)
but it doen't work
Thanks

Hi,
In fact,my ODBC connection is on oracle BI server connection (Analytics) which contains the catalog.
With SQL Developer, I think we should go througt an JDBC connection and not ODBC. I tried to add the JDBC driver of oracle BI server to SQL Developer but it doesn't work.
But in general any ODBC-capable client should be able to query the BI Server directlyWell, I did another test with Cognos, the ODBC connection works with Orale BI.
But with an another ODBC, i just can to import the presentation catalog but the SQL query doesn't work.

DMV Query -- all Catalogs and last processed time

Hi
I want to get a list of all catalogs & there last processed time, can you join the two DMV queries ?
SELECT * FROM $System.DBSCHEMA_CATALOGS
SELECT CUBE_NAME, LAST_DATA_UPDATE FROM $System.MDSCHEMA_CUBES

I just used the one query , I was trying to list out all the catalogs and illustrate in an excel pivot table, unfortunately the last processed date is not available in the DBSCHEMA_CATALOGS
c
In order to get the last processed date I would have to connect to each Catalog to retrieve the data making it useless for excel, as the Last processed date in only available in the $System.MDSCHEMA_CUBES
schema
SELECT CUBE_NAME, LAST_DATA_UPDATE FROM $System.MDSCHEMA_CUBES
Hi Carlo,
In your scenario, you list out the catalogs using the query below
SELECT * FROM $System.DBSCHEMA_CATALOGS
And get the last processed date using the query below.
SELECT CUBE_NAME, LAST_DATA_UPDATE FROM $System.MDSCHEMA_CUBES
Now what you want to know if we can use the Join function to join those two queries, right?
The query engine for DMVs is the Data Mining parser. The DMV query syntax is based on the SELECT (DMX) statement. Although DMV query syntax is based on a SQL SELECT statement, it does not support the full syntax of a SELECT statement. Notably, JOIN, GROUP
BY, LIKE, CAST, and CONVERT are not supported.
So your requirement cannot be achieve currently.
Thank you for your understanding.

Hi experts
I have a question of catalog in order operation tab.when pressing the 'catalog' button,
system prompts "No catalog could be determined",
could you explain how to do it's configuration and the business scenario when we need
to use such catalog.

Error creating Universe from BW query

Hi
Creating the Universe connected to BW query (BI 7).
Connection is proper and universe designer is connected to BW system without any problem. I have already used many queries to connect to universe and webi documents has been developed.
The only difference in this BW query is, it is using hierarchy with 'derivation type' in 'select hierarchy date'.
BW query is working as expected in BEx designer.
This is the error message when trying to create the universe from BW query -
Error getting dimensions for cube <infoprovider name>/<query name>(catalog <infoprovider name>): Unknown error when executing MDX
Product name : SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Client Tools SP3
Please respond how this can be resolved.
Thanks

Sreedh,
I was wondering whether you could resolve this error?
Would appreciate if you can convey the resolution.
I am getting the same error - ( BOE XI 3.1 ).

Find the report from the query

Hi, We noticed one of the bad queries creating blocks in SQL Server and that is coming from our report server. I captured the query, Now I m trying to find what report that query belongs to ? Is there any way to find this from Report server database ? may
be something like querying the catalog table? Please advise
Thank you

Hi,
I Think that method can respond to your request.
If you execute this query on the report server Database and change the where clause with one of your parameters.
SELECT Name
FROM
SELECT
Name,
Path,
CAST(CAST(content AS VARBINARY(MAX)) AS VARCHAR(MAX)) AS reportXML
FROM Catalog
WHERE
content IS NOT NULL AND
type = 2
) t
WHERE t.reportXML LIKE '%XXXXXXXXXXXXX_CHANGE_THIS_XXXXXXXXXXXXX%'
Please, can you tell me if that respond to your need?

Server 2012 replacement for Server 2003 catalogs and ixsso.dll

Previously, we used the Indexing Service on Windows Service 2003 to set up catalogs and then used ixsso.dll to write web apps that could query the catalogs. With Windows Server 2012 things apparently have changed. How would I accomplish something similar
with Windows Server 2012? I've been searching but I guess I don't know what I'm looking for. Can someone point me in the right direction? What buzzwords am I looking for with Server 2012?
Thanks
Terry

Hi,
In Windows 2012 the indexing service has gone. To work around for this we may try putting the windows indexing service command line tool and dll’s in the System32 folder.

RH 10G - Catalog Statistics

I have Oracle 10G running on RH 9 (Yeah, yeah. I realize that 10G is not supported on RH 9).
Does anyone know if changes in 10G desire the data dictionary tables to be analyzed (dbms_stats)? I poked around and noticed that the "Last_Analyzed" column WAS populated in the data dictionary tables (fet$, uet$, etc.). I have searched the documentation and have not found any information regarding this change. The reason I am asking is that I am running into a performance problem while querying the catalog. I've tried removing the statistics, but certain queries are still slow (see below).
When I do the following query:
select count(*) from dba_extents;
It comes back pretty quick. However, when I add: "where tablespace_name = 'USERS'", it takes forever (in fact I have to cancel the query each time. I'm not sure if it will ever come back). It appears to be waiting on sequential reads (very slow seq# increments). I'm guessing it is nested looping through some of the tables, VERY SLOWLY. Anyone else have similar problems .
Thanks.
-Jim

I'm guessing that it needs that statistics in the Catalog. After I removed the statistics, exports ran very slow. I re-analyzed the schema using a 10 percent data sample and everything seems to be working great (even the query that was really slow before).

Content Search Webpart Query (urltoken to list metadata column)

Im developing a internet site using Cross site publishing.
In the publishing site collection, on a category page, Im trying to query the relevant contents
on a catalog list using urltoken to metadata column on a list using Content search webpart.
I have created list of departments in the metadata and same is used as part of managed navigation.
Metadata term : New department
friendly url : New-department
When I query the Catalog's metadata column (department column) using the urltoken.1 (new-department) it is not fetching the results
since the value is New department (space between two words)

Unable to propagate index from crawling to query

Hi,
I have a production environment where the query server is separated from the crawl server and each of them in separate zone. When I am running the crawler for any content source it doesn't crawl any data and I receive multiple errors as below
Errors from Query Server Event Viewer
The following conditions are currently affecting index propagation to this server for search service application 'My Search Service':
1. Query 1, catalog Main: failing to copy index files from crawl component 1 for 79 minutes. The network path was not found. 0x80070035
2. Query 1 is not being automatically disabled because the minimum number of ready query components per partition is 2.
Errors from Crawl Server Event Viewer
Component: e11ba9de-e28c-42ab-a8de-f2050d4d8f68-crawl-1
Details:
The network path was not found. 0x80070035Propagation for search application e11ba9de-e28c-42ab-a8de-f2050d4d8f68-crawl-1: failed to communicate with query server e11ba9de-e28c-42ab-a8de-f2050d4d8f68-query-1.
It is obvious that the crawl is unable to communicate with the query server due to network issue, so I need to know what ports and protocols needed to be opened among the crawl, query and application servers or any other configurations needed to be done
to have this working

Ehab

Hi
Ehab ,
For your issue, it can be caused by that the query component might have stale, or expired, credentials. You need to create new Query Components and delete the Old ones as below steps:
On the SharePoint Central Administration Web site, click General Application Settings and in the Search section click Farm-wide Search Dashboard.
In the Search Service Applications section, from the drop-down list select the search application that generated the event, and then click Modify Topology.
On the Topology for Search Service Application page, click the failed query component in the topology list, and then select Add Mirror from the component’s drop-list.
In the Add mirror query component dialog box, select the query server and associated metadata database for the new query component, and then clickOK.
Click Apply Topology Changes. The changes are processed for the search application and the index is copied from the failed query component to the new query component.
Click the failed query component and click Delete.
The topology removes the index from the failed query component and deletes the component.

Lightroom Upgrade at a client - sucess? - keyword problem deal breaker

Hi
Just a small report, on how upgrading a client's LR 2 catalog went.
Background: The client is a professional photographer specialized on garden photography. Her customers are gardening and lifestyle magazines who publish her photos regularly as illustrations to various articles. She has a professional Canon EOS 1Ds MK III equipment and shoots exclusively raw. In a shoot around 300 to 1000 images are shot. The Lightroom catalog has around 20,000 images currently.
In Lightroom she uses mostly DAM and some basic development features, images are delivered either as raw of as JPEG images to the clients. Keywording is especially important. She has an extensive hierarchical list of plants most of them multiword keywords with spaces, and lots of other keywords indicating if images were sent to clients and other stuff.
The upgrade went just very well. I exported the catalog to a new intermediate catalog without previews, installed LR3 and imported this intermediate catalog into LR3 generating new previews from scratch. The hardware is modest, and some functional tests (especially switching images in develop, spot tool, and adjustment brushes) revealed that everything performs well enough.
Then she asked me where she would have benefits from using the new version. And then I told the whole benefit story, which can be read everywhere.
- New process version, better details and noise reduction. She asked where she can see it? Hmm, I switched to 1:1 view changing the process versions, not really much to see on Canon 1Ds Mk III files. Even with noisier files, it was hard to tell, what has actually changed. So only a 4:1 view very tiny changes were visible. The impact on her business? Near to nothing as she does not print large. The differences would hardly be seen in the magazine prints.
- Lens corrections and perspective control: does not really matter in garden photography, but she could see some occasional usefullness.
- Publish services: no real need for it
- Print packages: nope
- Slightshow improvements: no use for it
- Performance improvements: nothing visible
- Effects: completely superfluous
- New import dialog: at first glance a hindereance, as she has to get used to it
Then she asked: did they correct the keyword handling, when entering keywords witrh spaces? (You know the nasty bug, where keyword completion is broken at keywords with spaces). We checked (I knew it wasn't fixed), and of course she was heavily disappointed. Thus, after 2 years of development nothing new for her, keyword bug not fixed? Of course she said, that I should tell her, when keyword completion works, then and only then would she consider an upgrade.
So, despite all the bells and whistles about the new version, I doubt that for many photographers the benefits are really so overwhelming in the real world. It is a pitty that Adobe continues to neglect the DAM features (some fresh ideas for client management would be great), that existing features aren't consequently implemented (esp. the possibilities to query the catalog, and keywording), and that existing bugs are constantly ignored and not fixed.
So, please Adobe, get keyword completion fixed for keywords with spaces immediately !!! This is what professionals need. A catalog without reliable DAM features, renders the catalog concept to a great extend useless. Please listen!
Disclaimer: As I am not a professional for me the situation is not the same. I just report my experience I had, with a photgrapher, who needs a proper asset management. I recommended Lightroom to her because of the overall package (she moved from Cumulus), so I feel a little obliged to help her in this issue. In my case, as a user of a modest Lumix G camera system, I would consider the IQ benefits more signifcant. I don't know, if this is a general observation.
Kind regards
Thomas

I just report my experience I had, with a photgrapher (sic), who needs a (sic) proper asset management.
So the over-riding conclusion from your experience with just one photographer is that Lightroom is 'useless', and this compels you to demand, in bold type, that Adobe must listen?
That Lightroom has issues and areas for ongoing development is obvious, and Adobe won't dispute this. But rants like yours add nothing and are unhelpful. Julie's response is extremely tactful and far more moderate than your post deserves.
Dear Mr. Webster
I think when you post, you should definitely change your tone. Julie simply answered my original post by acknowledging the problem, your accusation that I did not use appropriate "netiquette" is ridiculous. Posts like yours are a real problem of this forum.
I simply gave a user story example to show that not for everybody the shiny advertised new features provide real benefits and that paying attention to a thorough implementation of features can be equally important. I think Julie has recognized this. And the issue is nothing for ongoing developments. Lightroom supports keywords with spaces, so it has to be done consequently. Keywording is essential for DAM. If keywording gets too tedious or leads to wrong keyword assignments, then DAM is really pointless.
The intention of my post was to point Adobe to an apparently small problem, which has quite a big impact to people, who depend on good DAM features. The issue is nothing new, existed since the first release of Lightroom, but nothing was done about it, unfortunately. Now that Lightroom addressed keywords with spaces even with a new preference setting, it was fair to assume, that they had done something about it with care. This isn't so obviously. The issue was discussed in previous threads, but did not get any visible notice from Adobe. I am glad that this has changed now with Julie's post.
In no way did I say that Lightroom is useless or even that I regard it to be so. I merely said that the catalog concept is to a great extend (not completely) useless, if its implementation is sloppy. DAM starts with data entry and only after doing this, you can use it to your benefit. Therefore it has to be efficient, which currently is not. Lightroom is criticized by a large number of users that it is forcing them into a catalog system instead of just providing access to the file system. Long existing bugs like this, likely proves them right in their view.
The competition (I mean complete workflow solutions) is not really better than Lightroom with respect to DAM features, however, my take is, that the developers should be equally ambitious with the quality of the catalog system as they are with IQ, especially if the achievements in IQ are apparently less relevant to owners of high end camera systems. (I could be wrong with the last statement, but it would be interesting to hear if others have similar observations).
Kind regards

Adobe Reader X and Indexing Service - pdf content not searchable

Install Adobe Reader X on a Windows 2003 machine with Indexing Service installed. Create a catalog (folder) and point indexing service at it so that documents are indexed. Verify indexing is working with a simple text file. New copy a pdf file into the folder. You will see in Computer Management the file appear to be indexed. Now simply query the catalog - the file contents are not indexed. The iFilter that gets installed should allow indexing service to index pdf file contents and return search results when the catalog is queried.

Hi MT.Freelance
The way that "Welcome Pages" are done in Acrobat X has changed from Acrobat 9, what you are seeing looks like a bug related to these changes.
If you would like to log a bug on this issue the form for bug reports can be found here https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&promoid=E WQQL
