Syncing Applications across Environments

We have an existing installation and are planning on setting up a stand-by server for disaster recovery for our Hyperion Planning application. What are the possible ways to sync the applications from one server to another? I was thinking we will need to setup LCM migrations + Essbase L0 exports and somehow automate them. Is there any utility in the new versions which makes this automatic, similar to cloning?
Thanks.

If you can use a shared location for LCM then you can use Utility.bat file for automation. (else you'll have to include file copy between servers)
For level 0 export you can use maxl and with the new version you can use wild cards to load them back (don't need to worry about the number of files)
I don't think there is an out-of-box utility to handle this.

  • Best way to migrate Applications across environments of different versions

    Hello Gurus,
    Source EPM Environment - EPM 11.1.1.3
    Target EPM Environment - EPM 11.1.2.2
    What is the best way to migrate applications for Planning , Essbase , HFM and also the related reports from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2 .
    Any help will be highly appreciated..
    Thanks
    HyperEPM.

    I tried with upgrading the application and it was done pretty smoothly as compared to the LCM import export method.
    Now what would be the feasible way to move all the applications when following is the scenario and we need a minimum downtime.
    1. Move from EPM 11.1.1.3 to EPM 11.1.2.2
    2. DB used to configure EPM 11.1.2.2 should be fresh and not the existing one.
    3. We want to move all the applications across to EPM 11.1.2.2 on the freshly configured EPM 11.1.2.2.
    4. Move all the applications intact across the version.
    Thanks

  • Porting modified components across environments

    I am using the HTML code generated for the parameter form
    of a standard report component in an HTML portlet on a page
    to call the standard report component. When porting from
    development to production will these customizations be
    a problem - do the component ID's of standard application
    components change when ported across environments? Is it
    better to write a custom dynamic page instead that would
    call the component?
    Thanks,

  • HT4191 Syncing Notes across different devices

    I seem to have separate Notes on iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro although I would love to sync them across all of these. When I try to activate the Notes facility it keeps asking me to create an iCloud account, which I already have. When I try to enter my existing iCloud account it says, unsurprisingly, that "this address is already taken"??? I'm going round in ever decreasing circles, please help. Thank you.

    Hello Demo, I'm sorry if I seemed a little curt with your very welcome, helpful response. I wasn't intending to be rude.
    It obviously doesn't help that I'm a moron with Apple applications as I'm relatively new having come from many years of Windows platforms.
    The problem seems to lie in my having TWO iCloud email addresses: ***@iCloud.com and ***@me.com. When I first joined iCloud through 'mobile me' some time ago, I was still using a Toshiba laptop but had purchased my first Apple product, an iPhone. This required me applying for an Apple account with an iCloud.com suffix but I have NEVER used either as an email address. I still use my old hotmail.com address. I'm now thinking that it's probably best to ditch this and my iCloud.com email address and transfer everything over to my me.com email address? Is this feasible and easy to do?
    I'll understand totally if you just want to go and lie down in a darkened room! :-) Many thanks, Martin

  • Sync data across multiple clients

    I am create an application in flex that pulls and pushes data to a MySQL database.  This program will have multiple clients logged in at the same time.  I am wondering what the best way to ensure that the data is accurately updated across all of the clients would be.

    Can you explain what you mean exactly by sockets?
    Is there any way to Sync data across multiple clients without the crazy expensive cost of LCDS?

  • Syncing ical across devices

    Hi, I've recently started using the calendar application on iPad and iPhone, but noticed it hasn't automatically synced to my MacBook Pro. I looked at MobileMe but saw there was a charge for this service. Is there another way I can sync iCal across all my devices, please?
    Thanks a bunch.

    Hi,
    Check your calendar where you are adding the event belongs to the MobileMe Calendar, otherwise will not synchronize.
    Best Regards

  • Migrating Custom Functions across environments

    Within our DEV environment (EPM 11.1.2.1 - Planning & Essbase) we have about 15 CDFs visible in EAS for an application.
    Of these 15 CDFs 1 has a class name of pwc_date and all the rest are com.hyperion.essbase.cdf.psb.HSPCDFUtils.
    I need to migrate these to UAT.
    How do I do this?
    For what it is worth in DEV - I can see pwc_date.class in D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\java\udf but the others are still hidden to me!
    Thanks in advance for all assistance.
    Regards
    Paul

    The functions in com.hyperion.essbase.cdf.psb.HSPCDFUtils are part of planning and will have been installed by default, it is possible to deploy them from the planning application when refreshing "update custom-defined functions" - Creating and Refreshing Application Databases
    For the other CDF copy the jar or class file across environments, update udf.policy and register the functions.
    Cheers

  • How do I sync audiobooks across to my iPhone?

    Can anyone tell me how I am supposed to sync audiobooks across to my iPhone?
    I have a whole bunch of them, and they are all plain old MP3 files, with a .mp3 file extension, but I have changed the "Media Kind" for them, by selecting File > Get Info, and then choosing the Options tab. Under there, I change Media Kind from "Music" to "Audiobook".
    Having done that, they do all show up under the Audiobooks section in iTunes on my Mac.
    I have my iPhone set to auto-sync, ie: "Manually manage music and videos" is unchecked.
    I have "Sync only checked songs and videos" checked, and the relevant individual audiobooks that I do want to copy across are checked.
    I just want a few at a time, so I only have a few checked.
    Needless to say, Apple doesn't supply an Audiobook tab when viewing the iPhone settings in iTunes when the iPhone is plugged in.
    I have plenty of space left on my iPhone. I do not get any error messages when attempting to sync. iTunes on my mac has no problems locating the files. But still, the audiobooks will not copy across.
    The only way I can get them to copy across is to create a playlist for them, copy them from the Audiobooks section into this playlist, then go under the iPhone's settings/preferences when it's plugged in, and check this new playlist that I've created.
    Then they will copy across to the iPhone.
    But that's a bit of a hack-job. Is there no way to "correctly" copy across an audiobook to an iPhone?
    I am running the latest versions of everything:
    Mac OS X 10.5.5
    iTunes 8.0.2
    iPhone OS 2.2.1

    I'm such an idiot...
    Well, actually, I'm not entirely to blame on this one...
    I just figured out that Apple has buried an "Audiobook playlist" checkbox under the Music tab in the iPhone's settings / preferences.
    I didn't have this "playlist" checked.
    So even though the individual audiobooks themselves were checked, because the main playlist itself was not, nothing was copying across.
    So I'm the fool for not noticing the box wasn't checked — but can you blame me when Apple decides to hide the "Audiobooks" section under the "Music" tab instead of in its own dedicated tab, like they do with "Video", "Podcasts", etc.
    Why does "Podcasts" get its own section, but "Audiobooks" doesn't?
    How is an audiobook any more like "music" than a podcast is?
    Now where's that rolls-eyes emoticon...?

  • Generic Sync Application and Persistence DB2e

    Hi all,
    I have a generic sync application. I need persistence and so, I have created a xml file with many syncbo to manage the persistence with db2e. If I execute the statement before the synchronization:
    SmartSyncRuntime.getInstance().getSyncBoDescriptorFacade().getAllSyncBoDescriptors().size()
    the result is five (because I have five syncbo).
    But when I do a generic synchronization and I try to store data of this synchronization into syncbo, I get an exception because only there is one syncbo.
    In fact, the previous statement returns only one synbo. This syncbo is called MIAUTH and I don´t have defined it.
    How can I solve this issue? Thanks a lot.
    Regards,

    Hi all,
    I know it is better to use persistence API than syncbos in generic sync application but we have many problems with persistence API and SP versions. While SAP solve our problems we are searching any alternative.
    We use MVC and after doing generic synchronization, if the application generates a event and navigate to other jsp and in it, the application generates other event, I get all of my syncbos.
    How could I simulate it, after generic sync finishes, in the same method by code? Any ideas?
    Thanks and Regads.

  • HT4236 Hello, does anyone have any advice on how to sort photos in an albumn on an Iphone by date of photo? I've ordered them all in my Pictures but then when I sync them across through Itunes, they all end up in a jumble on my phone. Thanks!

    Hello, does anyone have any advice on how to sort photos in an albumn on an Iphone by date of photo? I've ordered them all in my Pictures but then when I sync them across through Itunes, they all end up in a jumble on my phone. Thanks!

    When viewing an album on the iPhone you can tap "Photos" at the bottom and that will show all photos by date. Unfortunately though it is all photos, not just the album you are currently viewing.
    What I have done is the following. On the computer I have a main folder (e.g. iPhone photos) and then make sub-folders within that. Placing photos that will be synched to the iPhone into various subfolders gives quite a bit of organizational capablility. In iTunes when you select the main folder to sync, the sub-folders will show on the iPhone as separate albums. Beyond that, in one case where I really wanted a specific sort within an album I renamed the photos on the computer (something like A-picxxx, B-picxxx) so they sorted on the computer alphabetically in the order I want on the phone. That sort order was maintained after the sync.
    Note that each time you sync using iTunes, the non-Camera Roll pictures on the phone will be set to match the current iTunes settings/photos -- so you can experiment.

  • Time out error on Receiver adapter : Sync application request expired

      What could be the possible error? Are there any sample examples for creating a smart sync application...
    Kindly help me in this issue.

    Hi Veerabhadram Mantha ,
    <<Please guide me in that I could not understand what is meant by deploying the application with language resource text.Could please u explain that?Should I need to make any configugurations in the WebAs server before
    >>
    Jo meant ,
    just include the property file in ur application(because of that missing resource exception) ,then export it as WAR file and upload that WAR file corresponding to ur created MCD through Web Console ,assign that to particular user , while sync it will get downloaded to the client device (this downloading is just like deploying a J2EE application in to the server . in our case tomcat is the server for JSP Runtime).(deploy).
    If u need to change entries in the configuration file (Client specific configuration), then only u have to do conifiguration in MI server(if ur MI server is configured properly).
    <<Exception is Missing Resources>>
    Have u included any resources(language specific property files or property files for configurations) in your SmartSync Application?.
    If yes,
    correct the reference to that resource file in ur code.
    one more thing..
    r u using SP 09 version of developer studio for creating Smart Sync Applications.
    Structure and working of(APIs used for running application in cliet side.)applications developed in SP 09 is different from those applications created in higher versions(from SP 11 v onwards ).
    If u r using SP 9 , then atleast upgrade or install SP 11 (i think latest is SP 16) and try to create applications in that.
    just refer this forum , in this forum i have already discussed in detail about the structural differeces of applications in SP 09 and SP 11 or higher .
    Re: SAP MAU MVC
    After making changes to ur application , u dont have to uninstall that application . u can modify the installed applications using this way .. just refer this blog.....

    Go to https://appleid.apple.com and make sure under phone numbers you have your cell phone number filled out! I deleted prior threads before testing (not sure if that was necessary) but now it's working like a charm. (might take a second to ping the phone number to the imessage server)

  • Can you just sync playlists across 2 macs with identical libraries

    can you just sync playlists across 2 macs with identical libraries. i have done a carbon copy of my home mac itunes library to a work mac.  i'll then switch itunes match on on the home mac, and i am assumign i won't need to redownload everything to my work mac.   my question is though, is it possibnle to use itunes match to just sync playlists as really i dont want to have to upload my contetn to the cloud as its nearly all not goign to be on itunes match in the cloud (obscure stuff).  so if i keep libraries in sync myself, can i jsut use match to sync my playlists?
    cheers

    No you can't. Match is an all or nothing service.
    However, depending on the size of your library and your upload speeds, you may be surprised at how quickly the match/upload process takes, and by the amount of stuff that does match.
    Depending on how big an issue the subscription fee is to you, it may be worth giving it a go. I use match mainly to keep my iTunes libraries in sync and it is the solution that I've been looking for for years.
