SCD 2 Dimension Load is Inserting with every load..

Hi,
We are using OWB Client 10.2.0.3.33 and OWB repository 10.2.0.3.0.
We are trying to load the customer dimension (SCD 2), but with every load a new record is getting inserted into the dimension even if no change is being made to the trigger history columns.
Is it a bug? Can any one provide any insights into this.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Jörg,
The same mapping is working fine in the development environment but its working differently in Test and Production. So, I have checked the nls_lang settings and now both the source system and repository have the same nls_language setting, but still the problem is present.
Can you please suggest any thing else to look for?
Regards,
Sandeep

Dimension loading-Type 2 with a sequence in source

Hi all,
I have a table (staging) and its primary key is populated by a sequence defined in OWB.
This table is used as a source for the Dimension-Type 2 SCD.
Dimension and Mapping to populate it were deployed fine and the initial set of rows were populated to the dim table.
Now,
with a change in the values of the Source table (those coresponding to triggering columns in Dim)....I have executed the mapping and not able to see SCD behaviour as epected
just I gave it a try by inserting a
new row manually(without sequence for primary...I have inserted a manually) in staging,executed it--->got one row in target as expected
Changed the triggering col values ----->I can see the SCD behaviour.
Why is this happening?
Are the sequences that I defined for staging table avoiding to load the Type2 dimension?
Could you please help!Its very urgent issue.
Thanks
Sridh

Hi All,
I have found the problem...
Sequence is not the culprit...In the staging table properties,the Match by constraint option is by default set to 'ALL_CONSTARINTS'...i have reset to 'NO_CONSTRAINTS' and the dimension is loading fine...
Thanks

Creative Suite Design standard version is no longer loading plug-ins, fonts, etc., Crashing with every use..How do I reload my software ? I have the Design CS4 package.

Creative Suite Design standard version is no longer loading plug-ins, fonts, etc., Crashing with every use..How do I reload my software ? I have the Design CS4 package.

Thank you Jeff. Great questions.
I was opening Illustrator in CS4 design standard. Odd too, because the error comes up with it showing missing plugins from Photoshop. I opened Photoshop first, then Illustrator to see if it changed anything. Yes, One of the two error messages for a plugin was gone.
To remove apps I went to the Adobe website to redownload my standard CS4 and chose "uninstall".. So I did. Restarts x 2 . Then Reopening illustrator...same thing again. Restarted, then went to Disky Utlity and cleaned up something off of it as per a internet suggestion...Sorry, it's been a long day alreay. Not me removing anything, just allowing it to do that with repairing.
The version of Mac OS is YOSEMITE 10.10.2 .
I recently updated!!! oooh nooooo! (every watch Mr. Bill on SNL?) so if the updated OS is the culprit, do I have to go back to older version for my apps to work? I never realized how very much I use Illustrator. I know there are extensions I could go through one at a time....seriously I am overwhelmed with some life events that make this computer dilema almost too much of a challenge for me at this time..I am truly grateful for your help. Thank you Jeff.

WFP Dimension loads in planning

should the employee and entity dimension loaded every month as part of actual data loads or should they be loaded only at the begining of the planning cycle ?
What happens if the 2 cycles overlap
if planning cycle is jun - jul (12 mths) will the delivered business rules still work or do we have to modify them.

Hi,
1. I think you need to re-explain your issue.
2. I understand that employee is a custom dimension.
3. You would not be loading actual data at the beginning of the cycle, it depends again. Let me explain you . Initially, you plan something for the coming year and planners enter data montly or so.
4. After a period of time , you would be interested in knowing , how exactly your plan is near reality. Here, we load actuals data ( might be from Oracle GL..etc) and now we are in a position to do variance analysis - actuall data vs plan.
5. You need to explain with an example , when you say 2 cycles overlap.
6. Business Rules are written in a manner that they are scalable and not to be modified

Dimension out of synch with relational table

Hi Gurus,
We have an issue of Dimension Loading in OWB10grel2.
My Dimension DPROD Details are as below..
Storage :star
SCD type:1
Levels : Lev1,2,3...15 with each level having ID,CD,DESCR as level attributes.
Hierarchy: prodlev1,prodlev2....prodkey
All the attributes,heirarchies,levels are defined properly.
I have a mapping to populate this dimension
RELATIONALPROD---->DPROD.
The RELATIONALPROD is the staging table which is equivalent to Dimension table(except the dim keys) and acts as a source for populating DPROD.
we have loaded dimension succesfully and refreshing it on a need basis.
However;we are now facing a strange issue of some attributes in few records are being out of synch in DPROD.
For e.g the Level2 DESCR,Level2CD in DPROD for a given prod_key are not the same as in
RELATIONALPROD table for that prod_key.
When we have tried re-executing the mapping it doesnot update the DPROD with the values in RELATIONALPROD for that matching prod_key.
Anyone faced the same issue?
Any idea on why this happens and could you please suggest any workarounds/methods to overcome this problem.
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Sridh

Hi David,
I am a bit confused..Can you please give me more details please
Futhur,I have the following scenario
I have the below defined as attributes in the OWB dimension
ID surrogate
CD Business
DESCR
x
y
z
And my levels for level10 till level50 has the following three as 'Dimension attribute names' with 'Applicable' option checked
ID
CD
DSCR
and the top most level with the below as 'Dimension attribute names' with 'Applicable' option checked
ID
CD
DESCR
x
y
z
A mapping from source to dimension is created.
The problem is the mapping doesnot update CD information at the levels in dimension based on the values in source.

Sridhar

Report views correctly in Report Viewer but on export or print, blank page inserted after every page

Hi all
I'm hoping someone has an idea what is causing this issue. I am using Crystal 2008 and have created many reports over the years, with no issue like this.
I have had to create a label file for an Avery label that does not appear in the Crystal Reports default list of label definitions (have done this many times before for other labels, with no issue).
The report displays perfectly in the CR Report Viewer, however once the report is sent either to PDF export or to the printer, an extra blank page is inserted after every page of the report.
The fact that it displays correctly in the viewer means there is nothing in the report that is amiss.... there is something going on when the report is sent out.
I've read a lot of similar problems, however the idea that it is a network problem doesn't explain why the hundreds of other reports I've created exactly the same way... do not have this problem!
Does anyone know the answer to this puzzle?
regards
Kaz

Hi Karen
Here is the issue. When you look at the report in the viewer you see this:
Notice the dashed line after the body of each label. That line is there because the report is formatted to be a column report:
So the viewer shows you that there is another column to be printed / exported and that is what is happening with the report.

Hard disk in mums macbook failed, bought a new one, formatted it first. Have tried starting it with every possible key and I either get flashing question mark folder or a cursor.

Hard disk in mums macbook failed, bought a new one, used sata adapter cable to format it for mac first. Connected it and have tried starting it with every possible key combination and I either get flashing question mark folder or a cursor. A disk is stuck in it so I can't boot from OSX, and yes I have tried every option of starting to try and eject disk but none work. HELP ME!

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
If you have a 2010 MBP or later, then you can use Internet Recovery. Start by rebooting the computer. At the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION-R keys until a Globe appears in the upper part of the screen. This process can take upwards of 15 minutes to get connected to the Apple network servers. You should eventually see the utility screen of the Recovery HD. You may now go about the process to install Mountain Lion:
Install Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Performance of insert with spatial index

I'm writing a test that inserts (using OCI) 10,000 2D point geometries (gtype=2001) into a table with a single SDO_GEOMETRY column. I wrote the code doing the insert before setting up the index on the spatial column, thus I was aware of the insert speed (almost instantaneous) without a spatial index (with layer_gtype=POINT), and noticed immediately the performance drop with the index (> 10 seconds).
Here's the raw timing data of 3 runs in each 3 configuration (the clock ticks every 14 or 15 or 16 ms, thus the zero when it completes before the next tick):
                                   truncate execute commit
no spatial index                     0.016   0.171   0.016
no spatial index                     0.031   0.172   0.000
no spatial index                     0.031   0.204   0.000
index (1000 default for batch size) 0.141 10.937   1.547
index (1000 default for batch size) 0.094 11.125   1.531
index (1000 default for batch size) 0.094 10.937   1.610
index SDO_DML_BATCH_SIZE=10000       0.203 11.234   0.359
index SDO_DML_BATCH_SIZE=10000       0.094 10.828   0.344
index SDO_DML_BATCH_SIZE=10000       0.078 10.844   0.359As you can see, I played with SDO_DML_BATCH_SIZE to change the default of 1,000 to 10,000, which does improve the commit speed a bit from 1.5s to 0.35s (pretty good when you only look at these numbers...), but the shocking part of the almost 11s the inserts are now taking, compared to 0.2s without an index: that's a 50x drop in peformance!!!
I've looked at my table in SQL Developer, and it has no triggers associated, although there has to be something to mark the index as dirty so that it updates itself on commit.
So where is coming the huge overhead during the insert???
(by insert I mean the time OCIStmtExecute takes to run the array-bind of 10,000 points. It's exactly the same code with or without an index).
Can anyone explain the 50x insert performance drop?
Any suggestion on how to improve the performance of this scenario?
To provide another data point, creating the index itself on a populated table (with the same 10,000 points) takes less than 1 second, which is consistent with the commit speeds I'm seeing, and thus puzzles me all the more regarding this 10s insert overhead...

Thanks for your input. We are likely to use partioning down the line, but what you are describing (partition exchange) is currently beyond my abilities in plain SQL, and how this could be accomplished from an OCI client application without affecting other users and keep the transaction boundaries sounds far from trivial. (i.e. can it made transparent to the client application, and does it require privileges the client does have???). I'll have to investigate this further though, and this technique sounds like one accessible to a DBA only, not from a plain client app with non-privileged credentials.
The thing that I fail to understand though, despite your explanation, is why the slow down is not entirely on the commit. After all, documentation for the SDO_DML_BATCH_SIZE parameter of the Spatial index implies that the index is updated on commit only, where new rows are fed 1,000 or 10,000 at a time to the indexing engine, and I do see time being spent during commit, but it's the geometry insert that slow down the most, and that to me looks quite strange.
It's so much slower that it's as if each geometry was indexed one at a time, when I'm doing a single insert with an array bind (i.e. equivalent to a bulk operation in PL/SQL), and if so much time is spend during the insert, then why is any time spent during the commit. In my opinion it's one or the other, but not both. What am I missing? --DD

Photoshop CS5 building Histograms with every file change

I am working in Photoshop CS5 on a MacPro with Snow Leopard, 10.6.4. I have a file that is a little over a gigabyte open. Every time I make any changes to the file (i.e. select a different layers, grab the text tool, etc.) a menu pops up with a progress bar and says it is building the histgrams. This process happens with EVERY move. As you can imagine, this has slowed my productivity down to a crawl. Can I do anything to make it stop rebuilding the histograms at every step?

My computer is extremely slow, with the rainbow wheel appearing with every click. It is one year old, and has all the most recent updates. Why is it so painfully slow?

My computer is extremely slow, with the rainbow wheel appearing with every click. It is one year old, and has all the most recent updates. Why is it so painfully slow?

That sounds horrible. There are a number of reasons it could occur.
The first thing to do is ensure you have adequate backups, because what you describe can be a symptom of impending disk failure.
To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting. There are four separate parts to it; read everything first.
Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:
Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Read about it here. It contains a link to download EtreCheck. Don't download it from anywhere else (such as may be found by following the results of an Internet search).
Click Open - etresoft contributes to this forum frequently and can be considered a trustworthy developer.
It will take a moment to run as it collects its data.
Copy and paste its output in a reply.
Do not be concerned about anything that says "Problem" or “failed” or anything else that may appear in red.
EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
System performance problems for reasons that cannot be isolated to any other cause justify an SMC reset. Be sure to read the procedure carefully and follow all the steps exactly as written, even if they seem inapplicable or trivial.

SCD II Dimension Operator updates the effective_start_date

Hello,
i have a scd II dimension and after loading a second (third ...) row for given business key, all effective_start_dates are update to the last valid value. in my opinion the effective_start_date should not be update in any case. I use the dimension operator for loading the dimension and i changed the 'LOAD WHEN UPDATING ROW' to No for my effective_start_date column. The other things work fine.
Does anybody know what i do wrong or is that a bug?

the effective start date is changing for all your rows if just 1 new row is added due to an update of an existing row using the SCD2 operations?

Keyword hierarchy corrupted with every export

Why oh why when I export any image from one folder to another do I end up with most keywords applied to that image written to my hierarchical keyword list as a new 1st level keyword and not under the parent keyword as they should be? I've tried everything. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit, with the latest LR 3. Export Synonyms, Include on Export, Export containing keywords are all checked with all the keywords and I've unchecked the Write Keywords as Hierarchy in the Export dialogue. With every export I have to clean up my keyword list and I'm at wits end with wasted hours. Any ideas ANYONE? Thanks in advance!

Thanks John for your input. Your link & explanation of the export
process is helpful.
In reply, Yes, I am using the File>Export command with the option Add to
this Catalog..... for I have been basically putting together photo
submissions to various publishers and creating a Jpeg or Tiff file from
the RAW and keeping the RAW intact in its original folder. As a result
I have that new file created and sent to a new folder set up for a
particular publisher solely for a record of that submission. (Hope
that's clear) I've done this with both the "Write Keywords as
Hierarchy" checked and unchecked which appears to get the same results.
Where I think the problem lies primarily is with any synonyms I've
applied to keywords (ie; scientific names for various animal species)
And if I've checked "write keywords as hierarchy" I also end up with a
keyword list in the metadata that includes the top level parent keyword,
which I don't necessarily want visible ( such as the word "Place" along
with "Colorado") You do mention that synonyms are treated differently....
The synonym Plantea, however, still gets imported as a top-level
keyword, because when you tell LR to export synonyms, it never
includes the parent of the synonym in the file.
Would it be better in order to keep a scientific name in the hierarchy
to instead insert that name under the parent tag in the hierarchy rather
than as a synonym? Seems like an inadequate use of synonyms per se.

ICloud v4.0.1 Add-in is being deactivated with every start of Outlook 2013 (32bit)

Hi Everybody,
I have an issue with iCloud (4.0.1) Add-in, which is being deactivated with every start of Outlook. Every time I need to activate it manually. I have tried to re install the add-in few times already.
Is it possible to sync new version of iCloud with Outlook 2013?
Regards,
Mati

Hi Mati,
So the iCloud add-in for Outlook does not load at Outlook startup.
Usually it will give you an alert while an add-in failed to load. Please check for this on
File>Options>Add-Ins or you might want to look in
Event Viewer for any related logs.
If you would like us to help analyze the logs, you can send the log file to this email account:
[email protected] and inform us here (the email subject should be the link of this thread).
I would also recommend signing out of iCloud Control Panel and signing back in, and see if issue persists.
Please have a try and feel free to post back with any findings.
Regards,
Ethan Hua

MOzilla Firefox hangs with every command or website I visit

My firefox hangs up with every website i visit. It takes forever to load pages and stalls all the time. I have cleaned all cache and I have even uninstalled and installed the latest version. I cannot seem to get it to operate like it used to on my PC. I am runnning windows 7 and I double checked my machine for virus and malware.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.<br />
You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
Vista:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
