Renaming columns resulting in breakage of already existing reports

Hi
We recently upgraded from 10g to 11g and we faced the following issue related to trailing spaces:
In 10g we had trailing spaces for few columns which accounts for say around 300 in number. After consistency check, these trailing spaces were shown as warnings in 10g and did not error out any reports. But in 11g, these trailing spaces were shown as errors and resulting in the breakage of already existing reports. To avoid this, we have to delete the trailing spaces along with the aliases. After this, the only process we are aware of, is to re-pull the renamed columns in the existing reports to make them error free. Now we have around 200 reports using these columns and it requires good amount of manual effort to go in. I would like to know, is there any better solution other than re-pulling these columns to keep the reports error free.
Any suggestions on this will be very helpful and greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If you know the name of the query/view and workbook in Bex you could also search with user ID, Date the report is modified and so on.
Also check these tables RSRREPDIR RSZCOMPDIR

Can`t rename computer computer account is already exists

We have domain on 2 DC`s(1 is GC and the 2nd is DC(Server 2008r2 ent)), Sometimes we need to replace old computers to the new ones. But they have to to be named like the old ones. So sometimes after removing old comuter from the AD, we still have an error
message "Can`t rename, computer account is already exists" where else should we remove it????????

Let's try the following:
- configure the other domain controller as a Global Catalog - this should be the case in a single-domain forest
- force the garbage collection by following http://blogs.technet.com/b/ad/archive/2009/03/24/taking-out-the-trash.aspx
Check the list of deleted objects again afterwards.
If this does not provide the resolution, restore the tombstone of one of the deleted computers (followhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.tombstones.aspx ),
rename it , and delete it
hth
Marcin
i`ve tried all of that except, configuring other Dc as GC, i ve found an article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc737269(v=ws.10).aspx it
says that nothing would happen if two DC`s will be GC`s, but it vad not been written that this article aplies to win2008r2 only to earliests OS`s, so i`m affraid if something wrong will happen if i will promote another DC to GC, or i`m wrong??!
I couldn`t force garbage collection, but i`ve enabled log as you said, and it seems to be no trouble with it....
about the restoring tombstone.... i ve stuck on the step when i should search the deleted object, because search result "getting 0 entries"
The same thing is about the article that Sandesh Dubey had linked "http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd379509(v=ws.10).aspx"
if i am not wrong, i should go to Configuration in tree of ldp and then to the Deleted Objects, but it says that there is no children.
Please people be patience with me, i really am need your help!

What is the best practice for inserting (unique) rows into a table containing key columns constraint where source may contain duplicate (already existing) rows?

My final data table contains a two key columns unique key constraint. I insert data into this table from a daily capture table (which also contains the two columns that make up the key in the final data table but are not constrained
(not unique) in the daily capture table). I don't want to insert rows from daily capture which already exists in final data table (based on the two key columns). Currently, what I do is to select * into a #temp table from the join
of daily capture and final data tables on these two key columns. Then I delete the rows in the daily capture table which match the #temp table. Then I insert the remaining rows from daily capture into the final data table.
Would it be possible to simplify this process by using an Instead Of trigger in the final table and just insert directly from the daily capture table? How would this look?
What is the best practice for inserting unique (new) rows and ignoring duplicate rows (rows that already exist in both the daily capture and final data tables) in my particular operation?

Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for:
https://www.simple-talk.com/books/sql-books/119-sql-code-smells/
>> My final data table contains a two key columns unique key constraint. [unh? one two-column key or two one column keys? Sure wish you posted DDL] I insert data into this table from a daily capture table (which also contains the two columns that make
up the key in the final data table but are not constrained (not unique) in the daily capture table). <<
Then the "capture table" is not a table at all! Remember the fist day of your RDBMS class? A table has to have a key. You need to fix this error. What ETL tool do you use?
>> I don't want to insert rows from daily capture which already exists in final data table (based on the two key columns). <<
MERGE statement; Google it. And do not use temp tables.

Using of already existing logical tables and columns in a new subject area.

Hi Every one,
i am new to OBIEE technology.
In my project i need to create a new subject area for already existing RPD.
In that RPD there are some logical tables and column created for previous project and i need to use those in this new subject area that i am going to create.
My question is what is the best way to use them .
I mean just to drag and drop them into new subject area or any other way.
please have your valuable suggestions
thanking you

Yes, you can basically copy paste all the tables that you need from BMM layer into your new folder in the presentation layer. Just make sure all the joins are defined well between all the tables that exists in the new folder, so you wont end up running into ODBC errors when you run analysis.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Recently I have been getting this error message when I try to record an audio track in Logic... "File with specified name and version number already exists. Result code = -48." WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?????? It's making me furious!

Hi
As the message says, there is a file at the recording directory that has the same name:

Cannot rename DC, "Cannot create a file when that file already exists."

Hi,
A long time ago we used a domain controller named jacob.mydomain.lan. It was removed, possibly in a 'dirty' way, and now we cannot re-use that name for another domain controller. In the meantime we have upgraded to Win 2012 domain controllers
now, and when I enter this to rename:
netdom computername ourdc.mydomain.lan /add:jacob.mydomain.lan
I get the error: "Unable to add jacob.mydomain.lan as an alternate name for the computer. The error is: Cannot create a file when that file already exists."
If I enter:
netdom computername ourdc.mydomain.lan /remove:jacob.mydomain.lan
I get: "The command completed successfully", but it still refuses to add jacob.mydomain.lan
After each attempt to add a forward zone dns record 'jacob.ourdomain.lan' has been created. I always erase this manually afterwards.
What is the problem? How can I search to find the offending 'file' named 'jacob'?
Thanks a lot for help on this.
regards Tor

Kevin,
I suggest you wait 30 days instead of 3 days before you enthusiastically close threads. Some people might think you are being a jerk if you don't.

How can i change the settings so that before download the firefox gives a propmt that same file name already exists, instead of automatically renaming duplicate files by adding .1 suffix?

When I download a file, if a file of similar name already exists in the same download folder, the firefox downloads the file and renames it by adding numeric .1 to the file name.
I want the firebox to give me a prompt that similar file already exist, rather than automatically renaming it by adding suffix .1.

You cannot add a job with a duplicate name, as a web service already exists with name ... please rename the job and try again

We are attempting to add a web service job and getting a duplicate name issue. I believe we have a caching issue where this job name may already exist but we are unable to see it on the web services status page.
Is there a data services repository database table where I can find these web services jobs listed and clean it up from the backend?

There is no option there that shows me if it is being used as a web service. Here is my issue with some screen shots.
I look at my current web service enabled jobs looking for B_JOB_CP_MDR_to_GW_EMP but it is not in the list.
I attempt to add it from repository DWXDS9
It throws an error and tells me there is already a web service with this name...
Now there has got to be an internal data services table somewhere that has this job listed as a web service. I am just trying to figure out what that table may be to determine if we can do some type of cleanup on it so we can add this job again as a web service (so it is visible to us).

Renaming an already existing BPEL Process

Hi,
We have an already existing Bpel Process which is already deployed in the Default Domain via the Bpel Console.
Now we want to deploy this process in another domain on the same Bpel Server but we want to change the Name of the bpel process ..( change the name of the project)...
Could someone please let us know whether this is possible to achieve and what all steps need to be taken..because there be references to this bpel process name in the Namespace and XSD's as well and also might be linked to names for the variables used in the Bpel process logic..
we want to change the name of the bpel process ..could someone please help us with this as soon as possible
we are on the version :10.1.3.3.1
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your reply..but am just curious to know as to how does it work internally..
This is how my bpel.xml looks after changing the ID value to ProcessName2 as you mentioned
<BPELSuitcase>
<BPELProcess id="ProcessName2" src="ProcessName1.bpel">
<partnerLinkBindings>
<partnerLinkBinding name="client">
<property name="wsdlLocation">ProcessName1.wsdl</property>
</partnerLinkBinding>
</partnerLinkBindings>
</BPELProcess>
</BPELSuitcase>
Now here it still references the wsdl with the name ProcessName1.wsdl but when i see on the Bpel Console the WSDL location has changed to like this :
http://server_name:port/orabpel/domain_name/ProcessName2/1.0/ProcessName2?wsdl
and the end point location has changed to :
http://server_name:port/orabpel/domain_name/ProcessName2/1.0
Now in the bpel.xml it is still referencing the wsdl with old name but while deploying from the jdev to the bpel server it has changed to the new wsdl location and end point..
thanks

Survey input into a list which already exists?

Can you have a survey populate specific items in a list which already exists?
Example List Columns:
Title
Number
Date
Survey Result A (this is entered by a survey)
Survey Result B (this is entered by the same survey)
Also, can surveys be completed by people who do not have permissions to the site?
Thanks!

can surveys be completed by people who do not have permissions to the site?
>> Yes, But user need permission on survey which will be uniquely configured by breaking permission inheritance
>> User need to provide exactly url of survey response so that they can bypass the site

Need help with Sharepoint foundation web application stuck on "STOPPING" error job-service-instance-GUID Number already exists

Hi All,
I cant get to stop SharePoint foundation web app service. Its stuck on status stopping

Hi,
It seems that the issue is in the timer job definition for executing this operation.
My suggestion is to start the service again and delete the job definition from the error and again try to stop it.
This might be helpful:
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/22368/is-there-a-powershell-cmdlet-to-delete-a-timer-job
I had a lot of issues in the past when try to stop this instance after the Web apps are provisioned.
As general rule now If I have multi-server Farm topology that has servers that should not serve Web App requests I turn off the service prior to provisioning any Web Apps in the Farm.

Error: Source system already exists. Message no. RSAR201
We have installed a BI 7.0 system recently and I am setting up the server to connect to SAP ERP.
In TA SM59 a connection to the SAP ERP has been established. The Remote Logon is OK, (meaning clicking it nothing happens). The Connection Test is OK.
According to the Best Practices paper: B84: BI Connectivity (B84)
http://help.sap.com/bp_biv170/BBLibrary/documentation/B84_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc
I have done the following:
In TA RSA1
1.     Choose Modeling.
2.     Choose Source Systems.
3.     Select SAP in the window on the right.
4.     Choose the Context menu (right mouse click).
5.     Choose Create.
6.     Make the following entries:
Available destination: (The above tested connection)
Background user in source system: RFCUSER (I created the user in ERP according to step 1.4 in B84)
Password for source system: *****
Background user in BI: RFCUSER (I created the user in BI according to step 1.4 in B84)
Password for BI user: *****
8.     In the dialog box Please log on as an administrator in the following screen choose Continue.
9.     Log on to the Source System with your administrator user. Choose the correct client.
10.     On the dialog box New Source System Connection choose Continue.
THEN I GET THE ERROR:
Source system already exists.
Message no. RSAR201
What is wrong? I cannot locate any SAP notes to help on this problem.
Best regards,
Carsten Pold

Hello Carsten,
just some guessing at this point...
a)
Is the connection really new? For example, was there another system connected to that ERP, maybe with the same logical name? Or was any of the two systems copied from another system?
b)
Authorisations issues in this process may result in strange error messages. Make sure that the admin user in step 9 really has SAP_ALL. There are a lot of complex activities that this user must be able to do (ALE management, RFC access etc.). To exclude issues with the RFCUSER users: If possible, give them SAP_ALL, too. Of course only temporarily for testing.
c)
I normally don't use existing RFC destinations. Usually, I let the system create those, too. So maybe it makes a difference if you remove the RFC destinations on both sides and try again. In that case, you will of course have to provide the RFC details when creating the source system connection...
I hope this brings you forward a little...
Regards,
Christian!

How do I get the pictures from my iPhoto on my external Hard Drive to show up in the already existing iPhoto on my MacBook?

I have an early 2008 MacBook. I had been using iPhoto on this MacBook until I purchased an iMac in 2011, at which time I copied my iPhoto Library from my MacBook to my iMac. Then I realized that my pictures and music were consuming the memory on my iMac, so I moved iPhoto and my iTunes LIbrary to an external Hard Drive. Now I am in a situation where I do not have access to my iMac, but will need to use my MacBook as my main computer for the next year. So, I have my iPhoto on an external hard drive and I plug it into my MacBook and see the iPhoto Library folder, but when I click on it, it opens up the old iPhoto that is still existing on my MacBook and will not show any of the new pictures?! At first I thought it wasn't able to show up anything because my MacBook was running two operating systems behind what my iMac was when I was running my iPhoto Library from that computer. So, I upgraded to OS X 10.7.5 and upgraded the existing iPhoto on my MacBook to iPhoto '11 version 9.4.3. However whenever I plug in the external hard drive and click on the iPhoto Library folder to open it up, it is still just opening up the already existing iPhoto on the MacBook (with my older pictures) rather than the iPhoto on the hard drive (with my newer pictures). How can I access my pictures that are on my external hard drive?

Thank you for your advice. I followed your directions, but came up with the same results. However, I did discover that whenever I open up the iPhoto Library that is already existing on my MacBook a certain set of pictures shows up. But then when I open up the iPhoto Library from the Hard drive another set of pictures shows up. BUT not ALL of my pictures are showing up on the iPhoto Library from the hard drive. At least the last two years of pictures are not showing up?! Actually, it appears that all the pictures are there from when I started using iPhoto about 5 years ago up until around the time that I got my iMac desktop computer and started using that (2 years ago). I have noticed that more recent videos I have made are showing up in a folder on the hard drive, but will not appear when I open up iMovie?! Any ideas on how to access my pictures from the last 2 years off of the hard drive???
