Review and clean up old queries/workbooks

Hi Gurus,
Is there a easy/automated way that we can run statistics of workbooks every 3 months and identify workbooks that are not being used. I tried using the standard statistics workbooks and one of the RS* tables- but did not get much luck. So, trying to see if you knew of any other way to do it.
Points assured.

Queries/Workbook USAGE

Hi,
My task is to find out least used queries & workbooks so we can clean up unused queries & workbook. I ran BW STATS queries on 0BWTC_C10 and able to see some information on queries but I can't find any information for Workbooks like usage, Last Used date etc. from BC queries that are build on BW statistics Info Cubes & Multi provider.
Where we can find these type of information??
I would appreciate if some one can helo on this issue as it is very urget and need to give status by end of today.
Thanks

hi,
for last used of workbook you can try check in table RSRWBINDEX, /BI0/APERS_BOD00 field TCTTIMSTMP
determine the workbooks
table with list of work books
hope this helps.

Is there anyway to archive old queries and workbooks rather than deleting?

Our environment has thousands of old queries and workbooks. We plan to delete any object that has not been used within 13 months, but there's a concern we may someday need a few of the reports that will be deleted.
Is there a way to archive old queries and workbooks rather than deleting them?
Is there another approach to solving this matter?
Thanks!

Jim
This is really a intersting question as this is a reality as many BW reports are not used/accessed by users but still they have tendancies of sitting on these reports.
I wanted to suggest to carry-out report usabilty analys. This analysis u can carry out by using BW statistics/standerd queries/new queries in technical cubes showing usability data. If u found that a perticalar BW report is not been used for long time, u can discuss the usability of this report with the report user ( as it is a normal practice of owning BW report by user/user group across industry ), if user is no longer uses it Or do not need it any more, it will be better to delete those reports, this will free up some resources and will reduce the junk. ( if user wants these queries ask him to use it or it will better to personalise report in his desktop easing him to see those reports. )
Changing the technical names of the query as suggested by Bhanu will have follwing effects.
1. It will add more reports in repository leading to junk
2. Old queries still be assigned to user roles, so collide with user authorisation.
hope views are clear, others are welcome to add or share their experince in this regard.
kindly assign the points if it helps.

What is largest solid state drive I can install in MacBook Pro 8,2? I want to perform a clean install of Mavricks and dump my old hard drive.

What is largest solid state drive I can install in MacBook Pro 8,2? I want to perform a clean install of Mavricks and dump my old hard drive.

If the bank account permits, I suggest getting a 1 TB SSD anyway. One cannot have too much storage.
Unless you are having issues with your current installation, a 'clean' install is not necessary. It would be more efficient to clone your current drive to the new SSD, test it, and then do the swap. The installation of Mavericks over Snow Leopard can be done either before or after the cloning process.

Why is my mac so slow i have cleansed and cleaned it is a 2010 mac mini i5 but it runs like a 20 year old pc i have only had it for a few months and it was straight out of the box

I'm thinking that you have a > Mac mini (Mid 2011) - Technical Specifications because the 2010 model's only have Core 2 Duo processors and the 2011 had the first i5 processor.
2 GB of RAM is the minimum requirement for Mountain Lion, but it's hardly enough to really enjoy doing anything else.
see > Memory and Free Installation Guides for Apple Mac Mini
Plus I don't have any problems running Mountain Lion and a load of App's on my 2010 Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM.

Hi I want to wipe clean my old Mac Book and start again - how do I do this?

Hi, I want to wipe clean my old MacBook and start again. How do I do it

What operating system is on the MacBook? Do you have the original disks that came with it?
Probably the easiest way to do this is to not wipe the hard drive, but to delete all of your user's data. Use System Preferences (under the Apple menu) and go to Users & Groups (or Accounts in earlier versions of the OS.) Create a new user here by using the "+" button. Log out of your old user and into the new one. Go again to Users & Groups. Use the "-" button to delete your old account, not saving the information stored in it.
This leaves the operating system untouched but deletes all your information.
Best of luck.

Hyperion reports to BI queries/workbooks

HI,
Can you anyone please give me some idea how to convert old Hyperion reports to BI queries/workbooks.
What are the steps involved in conversion?
Regards,
Ashok

Hi Ashok,
BW data could be reported from Hyperion by connecting the system with the right adapter,
the other way around isn't possible (querying hyperion data via BW) except by setting the hyperion DB as a DB/UD Connect source system and having remote IProviders on-top of it.
If you need then you can synchronize BW metadata in Hyperion then,
create a report in Hyperion which will retrieve data from a BW query released for OLE/DB for OLAP (query properties/extended).
now you can access any BW query / cube / multiprovider in BW system
Hope it helps.....

This does help me because I am pondering on wether to buy an airport extreme to solve my ipad 2 connection woes. I have an extremely old router dLink 524....but I have NEVER had any problems with it at all ever. My xbox connected great to it and netflix ran flawless through my xbox.....now I have an ipad2 and an apple tv and they are BOTH having horrible connection problems. I have read most of the forums on how to fix it by changing the settings on my router but since mine is so old I couldn't do some of the suggested solutions. So here I am debating on whether to spend all this $ on an airport extreme? I am just hoping that if I go and purchase this, my connectivity issues problems will go away like yours did. Just wondering if you have ATV as well and if the AE solved its problems? I have read about AE solving ipad2 wifi problems, I'm just hoping it will solve my ATV as well.

9.2 and clean HD.

Well, lucky me: I picked up in garage sale $99.00 iMac G3, Graphite version. NO DISKs. And it had 9.1 on it. Also CD burder. Great for kids.
I took advice on this board and picked up an Mac OS 9.2.1 disk (white, with the big gold '9') on it. I sucessfully upgraded to 9.2.1. Next thing, I guess, is get to highest version of 9.2.?? (which I could maybe use some help with if anyone can point me to link here).
BUT MY Q: I could not figure out how to use the 9.2.1 disk to do a complete clean resintall of the HD. Do I need something else? I wish to erase all the prev. owners stuff, and start with a minty fresh and clean HD, with 9.2.X.
how to do??
AND: if I do this, will it include a browser so I can log on? It occured to me, that a totally clean install might leave me with no applications to get on the web!
Jon

Hi, Jon -
Q: I could not figure out how to use the 9.2.1 disk to do a complete clean resintall of the HD. Do I need something else? I wish to erase all the prev. owners stuff, and start with a minty fresh and clean HD, with 9.2.X.
Provided that disk is a full-install disk (there were a few OS 9.2.1 update-only disks shipped with white labels & gold 9 - as I recall, those came with one of the early retail OSX packages, perhaps OSX 10.1) you should be able to do that.
The full-install retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD (in North American English) has an Apple part number of 691-3334-A - that number can be found underneath the text block on the left side of the label.
To do a thorough erase of the drive -
Boot to the CD (insert it, restart, immediately press the C key, keep it held down until you know it has started to boot to the CD; be patient - it takes a lot longer to boot to a CD than to a hard drive). Then run Drive Setup - it can be found in the Utilities folder on the CD. Select zero-all-data from the Initialization Options item in the Functions menu, then click the Initialize button.
This will take a while - about one hour per each 10GB of drive size.
Select Mac OS Extended as the format when asked.
Using Drive Setup
To install the OS -
After the drive has been wiped, and while still booted to the CD, run the installer program on the CD - Mac OS Install. Follow the prompts and accept the default installation.
<hr>
If you do not want to erase everything on the drive, you can do a Clean Install of just the OS instead. A Clean Install will remove nothing; it will install a brand new, 'clean' System Folder, will rename the old one to Previous System Folder, and (in this instance) will not do much else.

How can I clean up old footage in FCPX?

How can I clean up old footage in FCPX? I have some older 4x3 TV analog video that has some pretty noticeable noise and fuzz in the image. Anyone know how I can clean them up a bit? Thanks!

FCP X doesn't ship with a noise reduction filter. You can experiment with selective blur effects and sharpening, but I would not be very optimistic about the results.
There are a number of plug-ins available. One that I think works well is Neat Denoiser. They have a trial version (with watermarked output) that you could download to see whether it will do what you want.
Good luck.

Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with a visit to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.
