Shared Services - CustomClass implementation issues, need help?

We are attempting to deploy a custom login and custom authentication module to Shared Services, but we are receiving the following error:

We've created a customAuth.jar and place it in the following directory:
/oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/EPMSystem/lib/customAuth.jar
We then setup custom authentication for the User Directories in the Hyperion Shared Services console.
Unfortunately there aren't any other logs indicating why the error might be occurring.
Any information would be helpful.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that machines failed to ping the server name, and successfully to ping its IP address.
First check to see if DNS related port 53 is opened on the DC, or disable any anti-various software temporally, then ping the DC’s
FQDN and confirm that if the name would be resolved.
>The host 7acf7675-12f6-4280-84ff-ca225bc99373._msdcs.REGENCYVILLAGE.LOCAL could not be resolved to an IP address.
You domain name is REGENCYVILLAGE.LOCAL. It seems that the DNS server failed to resolve your DC’s name. check the zone named REGENCYVILLAGE.LOCAL to see if an A record is corresponding to your DC.
>75.75.75.75 (<name unavailable>) [Invalid], 75.75.76.76 (<name unavailable>) [Invalid]
It seems that invalid IP address of DNS server on the TCP/IP properties of DC.
I want to confirm with you that if you have installed the DNS with installing AD DS. Just the DC’s name can’t be resolved? Or any other device also has the same question?

Shared services- Access Assign issue for Essbase

Hi All,
I need to associate Filter with a group in Shared Services, but when I go to Application Groups, right click on the Application name and select "Assign access control", but in the list of Groups that come in the very first window, i dont see all the grousp listed there, has anyoen seen thsi issue before and knows teh fix for it?

We dont have direct Role provisioning to teh groups. Here we actualy have a group AllUsers and have added all other grousp as "GRoup membere" to thsi group/ Now this AllUsers group has teh roel provisioned to it. So in such a case, to see the grousp listed under "Assign Access Control" do they need to eb provisioned individually as well at group level, or teh above scenario that I mentioned also works fine?

Concurrent crystal license timeout Issue, need help.

Hi,
My company is using crystal enterprise 10 with 18 concurrent user license.
However, we often hit out of crystal license issues.
Does time to wait for exporting crystal reports to excel/pdf takes up licenses?
Does time to wait for crystal report to be printed or viewed on the web browser takes up licenses?
We all know that user sessions take up user licenses. 1 user login take up 1 license.
Does crystal pruning job takes up user licenses too?
Need help urgently, much appreciated.

Hi Daren,
Support on Cystal Enterprise 10 has expired. Make sure that your users are actually logging off and not just closing their browser.
One user can take up multiple licenses by not logging off or opening multiple browsers to view multiple reports. Scheduled jobs that are running do not take up license, but a user veiwing a historical instance does take up a license.
In your metrics tab in the Cyrsatl Management Console -> Servers-> cms you should be able to see the active number of sessions- system connections are backend connections between the servers and these do not take up any licenses.
Best Regards,
Jadie

T400 LCD dim issue - Need help!!

I'm having a LCD dim issue with a T400. Have changed the LCD panel, LCD cable and systemboard but still having same issue. If i removed the lcd card, then the display is working fine. I've tested the lcd card in another working unit and it's working as well (means the lcd card is working). I use a working lcd card and plug into this T400 but LCD still dim.
I've try to switch the problematic lcd cable and lcd panel to a working systemboard and it kills the systemboard. Have try to switch a few things but still unable to find the root cause. Urgently need help on this. Any advice will be appreciated.
Model : 6475-RM5

hey bhoh
i suggest uninstalling your current graphic card driver, let windows install its own generic drivers and see if that makes any difference

Stuttering flv playback issue- need help asap

We need help asap. Have a project is due to deliver today (5/14).
We have a video to go on a dvd-rom, live action with Motion Graphics behind.
When output is done thru Projector the Motion Graphics stutter as they scroll.
Here is more technical info:
Stuttering flv playback issue:
Prores 422 timeline 29.97fps 1280x720 output from fcp using current settings.
Mov file is approx 7gb, plays relatively smooth on a mac pro with no raid.
Frame by frame analysis shows all frames are present with no jumps tears or skips.
Tried several output paths, programs and settings to create a smooth flv file to no avail.
We adjusted data rates from 2k, 3.5k, 4k and 8k, no luck
We adjusted keyframe rates from low to all frames, no luck.
We tried cs3 flash encoder, cs5 media encoder, squeeze ect, same results.
Playback in the flash projector seems to choke slightly no matter what we do.
Have also posted in the Director Forum.
Any help much appreciated!

Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:
Try playing the file using a different xtra, sometimes different ones will work better. If you have Director 11.5, there is a native flv playback xtra.
You can build a player easily in Flash using the flvPlayback component, then bring that into Director as a swf.
Once you have the video in Director, try making the member Direct To Stage (DTS). If it is already DTS, try making it not DTS.
Make sure the video is not transparent, and nothing in Director overlaps the video... in fact, when the video is playing, nothing should be moving at all, and try to keep the amount of code that is running to a minimum.
Try lowering your video's data rate further or try using a different codec.
Using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compression often makes the video appear to play smoother.
Try compressing the flv with different software. FFMpeg, for example, is free and does a very good job, often better than the Flash Video Encoder that comes with Flash/Creative Suite.

RSI Issue: Need help on IBM/Lenovo external keyboards w Trackpoint? Pic

Need help on IBM/Lenovo external keyboards w Trackpoint? Pic
I started my journey with Thinkpads on a T42, then T43.. then T61, X61T, R61 & T410 (bought for 2 cousins & they love it), W510 (dads new laptop). I may be a much recent convert but I swear by them now.
MAJOR ISSUE: Recently started feeling RSI (Repetitive Stress) & Carpal Tunnel symptoms (already doing stretches.. adjusted the desk.. & finding new adjustable LCD stand) since I am not using the Thinkpad directly... but using it docked with an External keyboard. Lot of Mousing as well. I'd like to go back to Thinkpad FEEL... or atleast have keyboard with a pointing device so my hands dont have to keep moving back n forth.
So, it would be great it some of my fellow T4x/T6x/X6x 'ers would guide me a bit on this... share their first hand experience, or what they've seen on these keyboards and feel free to point me to reliable sources of information.
Currently this would greatly be use with T61 - Adv Mini Dock - 30" XHD3000 LCD as shown in my signature below.
Anyone who has used or know something about one of these Thinkpad related keyboard (ideally both of these to give a comparative response).
Which of the following have you used?
How was the experience?
(Maybe point me to thread with peoples experiences)
If you've used several, which one do you prefer / recommend? Why?
At the moment I have a "slim" BTC 6200C desktop keyboard. It has laptop like scissor keyswitches, so I like it the slim notebook like profile.
The way I have positioned my 30" LCD I'd like to be able to keep the keyboard on my lap at times while on my chair and maybe on the desk at times.

I had the same issue - had to go to voice command for a few weeks (sucked) wore wrist gards to keep things netural.
Everything went away when I changed to a USB keyboard with the Ultra nav (I use the track point and disable the pad).
I've been working like that for 6+ years now... no issues.
(as a side note, sleeping with wrist guards on helped heal me the fastest. I had neoprine, with a metal plate in them - from a local drug store)

LCD monitor display issue, need help

I have a strange problem with my LCD display, it goes like this:
When I first boot up the mac and the wallpaper appears on the display the image looks perfect, all the tones are right etc, but as the startup progresses, programs loading etc, the display changes suddenly, becomes too bright in the highs, too dark in the lows, and over-saturated in between. Its looks horrible.
I have just discovered that I can correct the issue by going into system prefs, display, selecting the options tab (next to Display and Color) and turning overscan on, then back off, voila, all fixed.
Looks great.
Thing is I have to do this every time now that I start the computer, and Im wondering if anyone knows what causes this issue and if theres anything I can do as a more robust solution.
The kicker is I have the same problem with a viewsonic LCD on my secondary machine (Powermac G5, Osx 10.4), right at the beginning of startup it looks great then suddenly all goes wrong, too dark/light over-saturated. Its as if the image has been blended with itself in multiply mode a la photoshop.
And on my second machine there is no option for overscan so I cant use my quick fix.
Is overscan a feature of the OS or the monitor?
The worst part is I need these displays to work correctly because Im a graphic designer, I need my colors to look right so I can do my job, and while I could go buy a $1000 monitor its not possible atm, and Id kinda like to know why this problem occurs. So if I do buy a different I can be assured the problem wont rear its ugly head again. But I dont think the problme is the monitor. I think its something to do with the communication between the display and the computer.
The monitor can display correctly, and does for a brief moment, then it all goes very wrong. Ive spoken to NEC and they werent much help but Ill be trying them again today too.
But again, I thinks its the computer, not the monitors as I can reproduce the issue swapping out monitors.
I hope Ive described it adequately,
Thanks in advance for any help forthcoming, this is very frustrating and is causing me endless headaches.

Mattdp,
I am currently having the same problem with my 20" cinema display. Did you ever find a long term solution? Apple states that the PowerMac G5 is legacy with no support available, and suggested a reset the PRAM. I did so to no avail. I too have 10.4.11 and thus no "overscan" to turn off. This is my wife's primary computer for her photography business, and the color issue needs to be resolved as quickly as I can find the answer.
Is there a possible solution through the terminal?

1) Mail constantly goes offline and pops up a dialog box asking for my password. I enter my password in the box and hit okay and it doesn't take. I can hit cancel and put mail back online but that's a pain. What is causing that and how do I fix it?
2) People send me mail and then about 30 min later I get the same email again. This problem doesn't happen with every email, just some.
I have no mail rules on. and I run virus software and it's fine.
Can someone please help me on this. Thanks!

Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the keychain. If that doesn’t work, you may try removing the password entry from the keychain and letting Mail create it again.
Also, in Mail open Help > Mail Help and read the article titled “Mail keeps asking for my keychain password”, in case it applies to you. There is a related article titled “My password is not saved” that you may also want to read, but beware that the last suggestion provided there (deleting the mail account) is wrong and could cause irretrievable data loss if this was a POP account.
Note that Mail doesn’t always correctly report what the problem really is. If Mail can connect to the server but cannot log into your mail account for some reason, it’ll ask for your password, regardless of whether that’s really the problem or not. Don’t keep entering the password every time, because that’s not the problem (click Cancel instead, and take the account back online afterwards).
What’s the time interval chosen in Mail > Preferences > General > Check for New Mail? If it’s set to Every minute, try changing it to Every 5 minutes.
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.
BTW, if you’re using Mac OS X 10.3, as your profile indicates, it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Mac OS X 10.3 & earlier forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance.

EP6 sp12 Performance Issue, Need help to improve performance

We have a Portal development environment with EP6.0 sp12.
What we are experiencing is performance issue, It's not extremely slow, but slow compared to normal ( compared to our prod box). For example, after putting the username and password and clicking the <Log on> Button it's taking more than 10 secs for the first home page to appear. Also currently we have hooked the Portal with 3 xAPPS system and one BW system. The time taken for a BW query to appear ( with selection screen) is also more than 10 secs. However access to one other xAPPS is comparatively faster.
Do we have a simple to use guide( Not a very elaborate one) with step by step guidance to immediately improve the performance of the Portal.
Simple guide, easy to implement, with immediate effect is what we are looking for in the short term
Thanks

Hi Eric,
I have searched but didn't find the Portal Tuning and Optimization Guide as you have suggested, Can you help to find this.
Subrato,
This is good and I would obviously read through this, The issue here is this is only for Network.
But do you know any other guide, which as very basic ( may be 10 steps) and show step by step the process, it would be very helpful. I already have some information from the thread Portal Performance - page loads slow, client cache reset/cleared too often
But really looking for answer ( steps to do it quickly and effectively) instead of list of various guides.
It would be very helpful if you or anybody( who has actually done some performance tuning) can send a basic list of steps that I can do immediately, instead of reading through these large guides.
I know I am looking for a shortcut, but this is the need of the hour.
Thanks
Arun

Compatability Issue: Need Help Disabling Additional Functions - URGENT!

I am experiencing a problem with running Pro Tools 8.0.4 LE on my HP Pavilion dv7, which is encountered as a DAE error -6006 when loading Pro Tools. Research indicates that this error relates somehow to the firewire connection, and I am able to use Pro Tools on this system with a different interface (one that only has two microphone inputs) that allows me to connect via USB.
Also, when I do run Pro Tools via USB it seems that I can't use the Quick Punch feature without a minimum 10 second (usually a lot longer) delayed response after pressing the playback or record button!
I have been emailing Pro Tools support back and forth daily for 10 days now, and in the most recent email, they have said:
"This might be an incompatibility issue. HP Pavilion dv7 laptop is not tested by our US headquarter testing team
and not officially supported.
As you have found by yourself, each PC manufacture pre- installs their own features (as TV tuner) and the program into
Windows OS , the motherboard and BIOS. They work differently to Pro Tools and sometimes conflict. That is why we cannot support those PCs we have not tested.
Please turn off all the additional function by HP from BIOS. Please ask HP support how to do."
Therefore, I am requesting assistance with disabling all unnecessary services and processes on my HP laptop. I am assuming that the TV tuner is not a necessary service, but I have no idea about most of the others, and obviously I don't want to disable something that is necessary.
If you could help me ASAP I would really appreciate it, as I need to get on with recording urgently! Thank you.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

UPDATE:
I have also been advised by Pro Tools support that if I add a supported FireWire card with Texas Instrument FireWire chip onto my computer, it may solve the problem. When I asked them how to go about doing this, they responded:
"If your PC has Express Card slot,
http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=352647
SIIG FireWire 2-Port ExpressCard
is tested and supported FireWire card.
Please ask HP about the spec of your computer."

Hi rhayn, I think you're getting confused about what "file sharing" really is used for. You need to say to yourself "do I want someone on another machine to access these files?" If yes, you need file sharing; if no, forget about it.
So, the second user, are they on another machine or are they using the same mac as you?
Just as in windows, when you share a folder over the network, you can set different permissions on the "share" compared to the permissions on the files and folders themselves. In all cases, the most restrictive permissions apply. Therefore if you give read/write to the shared folder (the "share"), but a folder is read only (to the second user), they will be able to view the list of files in that folder, but not open them (equivalent to the windows permission called "list folder contents"). If the folder was read/write, the second user can create files and edit them. If the folder is read/write and existing files are read only, they can open them but not save changes. Where OS X differs from windows is the mechanism for setting permissions; OS X uses the unix/posix permission system. In addition, if you are the owner of the folder or file, you can always do anything with the folder or file.
All of the above paragraph is only information you need to use IF the other user is connecting to your mac from ANOTHER computer across a network.

Firewall Issues - Need Help Please

Hi
I'm new to Apple and love the machine, but I am having a problem with the firewall on my router. Let me explain the setup, then the problem...
I have the following in my home network:
1 hp desktop running Windows XP Media Center Edition, SP3 (Professional)
1 Belkin wired / wireless router
1 Canon Pixma MP500 Printer set for Sharing (Connected to hp desktop through USB)
1 iMac 20" running Leopard OS
The hp desktop and the iMac are both hardwired to the router. The router's security settings are as follows:
Will NOT broadcast the SSID
Mac Filtering is ENABLED
WPA-PSK Security ENABLED
Wireless connectivity is ENABLED (For Wii, PSP, and Xbox 360)
Now the problem...
Everything on the network works beautifully, except the iMac. It will not allow iChat services, will not allow sharing of the desktop with other iChat members. It does, however, connect to the internet, but will not access the hp shared folders or printer. When I attempt to even add the printer, the printer does not even show up. I DO have Bonjour installed on the hp, but when I run Bonjour, I get a message that reads something like, "There are no Bonjour enabled printers available."
I know it is the firewall built into the Belkin router because I placed the iMac into the Demilitarized Zone, and everything started working as expected. For those of you not familiar with DMZ on the router, it basically allows you to pick an IP address to place outside of the firewall, so you can keep the router firewall enabled, but you can choose an IP address (i.e., a computer) that is not behind the firewall.
After placing the iMac in the DMZ, I went to add the shared printer on iMac. Not only did it show up immediately and give me the ability to add it and print to it, but I could also browse shared folders on my hp. I was also able to connect to a friend on iChat, and we were able to share each other's desktops.
I can provide more information if needed, but any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

I forgot to add that before I placed the iMac in the DMZ, I opened up some ports on the router that allowed iChat communication, so a comprehensive list of ports that need to be opened might solve these problems. I do not know where to find such a list, but I think that might work. If someone could provide a list, that would be great. I will update this post and let you know if the list was successful.
