Time/Resource Management
Hi,
I've recently made the mistake of downloading god finger and we rule for the iPad and now spend most of my time tending to crops, townships, villagers and plants.
However this is by no means a complaint as I find these games both fulfilling and enjoyable.
What I am asking is does anyone know of any more apps such as these that require you to manage things and then wait in real time for them to complete?
Thank you and I would recommend these games highly!
One step is missing:
BEGIN
dbms_resource_manager_privs.grant_switch_consumer_group('HESAMS', 'GROUP_1', false);
dbms_resource_manager_privs.grant_switch_consumer_group('HESAMS2', 'GROUP_2', false);
END;Now the users are allowed to be assigned to the referred consumer groups.

Resource Management of Shared Resource Pool at the Project Level
I am having difficulty figuring out how to implement our resource management process. Currently we have one "Resource Pool" project that has all the shared resources. It is connected to both a "master portfolio" plan that has some task
detail in it and other individual project plans that have their own WBS (for larger projects).
The difficulty arises because we want to do resource allocation at a project level, but the resource usage view shows the WBS/task level detail. I've tried grouping the resources assignments by resource and then project, but since everything is
in the "Resource Pool" project, they all group under that project. I've tried adding the "Project" field and it does show as the source project, but it doesn't group on that field, but rather the "Resource Pool" project
only.
How can I see resource allocation/usage at just the project level so our managers can do planning, negotiation, and re-allocation on a periodic basis with one simple view?
My best current idea is to disconnect all the sub-tasks from the sharer, eliminate the WBS below the project level in the master plan and attach resources at that single line project in that master plan. Then, we would have to manually alter the "Max"
available time in the individual sub-plans as we altered allocations. That essentially disconnects individual plans from both the master plan and the shared resource pool.
Is there a better way?Mark,
Yeah, I think there is a better way. Having a linked structure the contains both a pool file and a dynamic master is tenuous enough (i.e. prone to corruption), but if you start disconnecting from the pool and and messing with the master, you will most certainly
invite trouble.
But here is an approach that might work. I tested it on a sample pool file with two sharer files and I think it might give you what you want.
1. First, either manually copy or use VBA to copy the contents of the Project field to a custom text field in each sharer file
2. In the pool file display the Resource Usage view
3. Create a group that first groups on the Resource Name and then on the Text1 field, and select "group assignments, not resource"
4. Change the Text1 group field to be "assignment"
Does that give you what you want?
To help visualize, here is a screenshot of my test file. After grouping I applied a filter to Text1 with the option to also show summary tasks:

RH8 hangs with 100% CPU when closing a topic. Resource Manager to blame?
Please refer to the following thread for background information: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/734972?tstart=0
I'm re-listing this issue, as it has rasied its ugly head again, and I've no resolution this time.
Summary:
The original issue was that RH8 would hang whenever I closed a topic for anywhere between 15-30 seconds before allowing me to interact with the application again. Attempting to interact with the GUI during this freeze would result in the 'Not Responding' message at the upper-left of the application window (suffice it to say I'm on a PC with Windows).
After much investigation it was suggested to me that my profile may be corrupt, and in order to test this, another user should log on and see whether they experienced the same problem. As it is, they did not. So I had my Systems Admin recreate my domain profile, and everything worked just fine.
...until now.
Last week we all upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 (32 bit). We also changed our anti-virus software. The awful hanging issue in RH has returned.
We've attempted the solution from last time, by recreating my profile on the domain, to no avail. We have in fact gone to the extent of reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling Windows, the anti-virus software and RH8 (plus all available patches) from scratch. In case anyone is wondering, we've tried running RH without the antivirus installed, and when installed have also tried excluding the RH application folder and all my project folders, just in case it was the anti-virus software at fault. Regardless, the RH problem exists.
I can't understand why I'm now having this problem. Truth be told, I never really understood why recreating my domain profile in the first place resolved the problem last time.
However, I have now discovered something else...
In my RH Resource Manager I have a few thousand images in the Image folder. Not much I can do about this - the applications I write Help for have many screens users can access, and I write the Help for half a dozen applications. When I delete the contents of the images folder within the Resources Manager, RH works perfectly - no hanging whatsoever. As soon as I import the images into this folder again, the hanging is back. I have tested this a few times now, and have rebooted and had another user log on to confirm, and it happens every time. I'm dumbfounded of course, particularly because the same set of images has been sitting in the Resource Manager for months (since my original post about this issue, last year), and RH has been working perfectly.
I've also tried Peter Grainge's suggestion to create an empty BaseCSS_res.dll file (http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh8/using_rh8.htm), but as I've installed all the RH8 updates, this shouldn't be an issue.
I've also tried deleting the CPD file without success.
Thanks in advance.It seems this has been resolved!
Many thanks for all the suggestions. Peter ultimately forwarded the solution - something that he'd sourced from a rep at Adobe, as follows:
Every file/folder change in the root folder of RH8 Resource Manager triggers a rescan of all the sub-folder/files. That is why in case of thousand image it will take time. Like xxxx said we may ask user for root folder, it should not be project folder or frequently changing folder.
Probably he is using the default path given in the root folder and RoboHelp changes a temporary css file in that folder very frequently, in fact with every topic close.
That is causing the slowness and it should be easy to reproduce in the default scenario. This is RH8 only issue.
So, to fix my issue:
Open the Resource Manager Pod.
Click the Add/Edit Categories icon. The Add/Edit Categories window appears.
Within this window, change the 'Root Folder' path to something other than the default. In my case, I create a new folder on my root hard drive, outside of the Robohelp folder, just to be sure.
So far this is working perfectly - no 'hanging'. I'll keep an eye on it.
I love the comment "This is RH8 only issue."
Oh?! Is it? Was it fixed in a patch, Adobe? Please don't tell me that it was fixed in RH9, because there's no way known I should have to pay for an upgrade to resolve something that certainly looks like a bug. As happy and grateful I am to have this resolved, it has cost me a week's work. -
Project Online Resource Management
We will be using project online for Resource Management - managing the workload on many machines - and do this function across the team collaboratively.
I was wondering how resources are managed in Project online. After loading tasks on my resources/machines , I need to be able to see/view how much workload is distributed on these resources/machines and if I can assign a pending task to the resource or shuffle
the work around.
I would like to use 2 project pro and 2 project lite licenses to manage resources/machines.msayani2 --
Firstly, all of your people and machines need to b entered in the Enterprise Resource Pool. For each of the machines you list, enter a Max. Units value that represents 100% multiplied by the number of machines you have. For example, if you have
three road graders, you would enter 300% in the Max. Units column for a Road Grader resource.
Next, you will need to build enterprise projects, add the required people and machines as team members in the project, assign the resources to each task as needed, and then save and publish each enterprise project.
To see how the workload is distributed for your resources, navigate to the Resource Center page and select the resources whose assignments and availability you want to study. At the right end of the Resources ribbon, click the Resource Availability
button. On the Resource Availability, select the time range you want to use and you can then see the availability of your selected resources. You can also click the Resource Assignments button to study how the resources are being used on tasks
across all projects in Project Server.
Hope this helps.

Resource manager and images being rewritten in the project root
Hi everybody,
I began using the Resource Manager, and I created two folders, one with HTML files (topics), and another one with pictures present in those topics.
As I transferred the topics to the HTML shared folder the pictures references remained the old ones, i.e. the ones inside the project folder, right?
Therefore I began reassigning the pictures to the ones copied in the pictures shared folder, and here begins to be a little bit illogical and difficult.
I deleted the pictures from the original project folder as I want to save the space and have, of course, the pictures only in the shared folder, however after I reassign the pictures to one of the topics, and I sync it, the pictures I deleted appear in the root folder of the project.
I wanted to have the "common" pictures (they appear in 2 different projects) only in the shared folder (declared as pictures folder in Resource Manager) because if I do a modification of one picture, I would like to have this modification propagated in the second project, right?
And also save some space, as it does not make any sense to me to have the same pictures in 2 places (double space consumed) when I can have them in only one folder.
I would like to know how I can avoid this recopying of the picture files in my project folder, if possible.
The procedure I used was:
1. Found out which are the common topics for the 2 projects and copied them in the Resource Manager shared folder for HTML files.
2. Found out which pictures were on those topics and copied them in the Resource Manger shared folder for pictures
3. I included the shared topics into the project, and reassigned the pictures to the ones that are in the Resource Manager shared pictures folder
4. I saved the topic, and did a sync in the Resource Manger
Did I do something wrong here?
Thank you.The repository has all the images you may want to use in any of your projects or elsewhere.
Each time you link in a project, that image only is copied to the project, not the whole repository. If either copy changes, you are notified. You then have the choice of updating the out of date copy or breaking the link because for some reason you now want the difference.
Your statement "I saw that if I use an external directory to the actual project where I have pictures, RoboHelp will copy those into the project's folder" is not correct. The Resource pod will show all the images available in the repository but only the ones in used in the project are copied locally.

Resource Assignment without Project Resource Management Module
Hi Dina,
We are implementing Oracle projects for one of our customers. The customer does not want to implement Project Resource Management module. Is it possible to assign resources to a project or create a new requirement using the Resources tab in Project screen (HTML page) without implementing the Project Resource Management module. Pls let us know.
Regards,
Sri
Edited by: user12209290 on Nov 18, 2011 9:30 AMHi
With Project Management you can assign resources to the work plan. Resources might be named people or generic resource by job.
You can track planned hours by resource versus actual time worked, You can look at roll-up of planned hours across multiple projects for the same resource, or summarization of planned and actual hours using the RBS.
However, you will not get the functionality of demand published to resource managers, and the search functionality for available person to join the requiring project.

Resource manager does not seem to support failover
The resource manager, TMS_ORACLE, does not seem to support SQLnet's transparent
application failover (TAFO). The way this supposed to work is that if the DB connection
is lost, SQLnet detects it, and establishes a new connection in accordance with
the 'failover_mode' settings in your 'tnsnames.ora' file. It works fine for Oracle
tools like sqlplus, and also for the Tuxedo servers we created. However, the resource
manager doesn't seem to detect the loss at all, which renders our application
useless. Anybody seen this one?Marcin Kasperski <[email protected]> wrote:

(in our case OCI programs) work perfectly after failover, XA
applications go at the same time crazy (mysterious OCI errors with
strange or no description repeated forever).
IIRC we also noted, that XA server is not provided with the callback
which inform about failing over. Probably it is provided to TMS_ORA.
Nevertheless, there is thing which seems promising: non-failover TNS
alias + setting the server to TPEXIT on (most) Oracle errors (so the
server restart on error and then choose the database which works).
But we did not perform any heavy testing, so in case you experiment
with it more, please share your experiences.
By the way: it is still very unclear to me what TMS_ORA does on
database failure. Using Oracle 8.0.* () I observed that TMS_ORA kept
running after database restart, rejecting all the transactions
received by the server (without even notifying it). Using Oracle 8.1.*
it is better (probably thanks to Oracle 'silently reconnect'
functionality), but ... it is Oracle who improved a bit. We even
opened support case asking for the clarification but the answer didn't
helped much :-(

Here's our configuration:

MaxCapacity="150" Name="OraclePool"

<JDBCTxDataSource EnableTwoPhaseCommit="true"
JNDIName="dbpool" Name="OracleSource"

Looking this up, I was pointed to a JTA FAQ page on edocs, and it basically
said we should be Refreshing the connection pool, but the RefreshMinutes
parameter is deprecated, and as you can see we're testing connections as is.
We're puzzled by a couple of things, almost certainly application related,
but still relevant. We have 150 connections allocated to the pool, but even
at peak load during the day we bounce around the 40 mark. When we got the
above exception, we were hitting the 150 ceiling. We don't quite know why
yet.
During this time, our DB server was pretty heaviliy loaded. There were some
horrendous queries running, some data imports, etc. Bascially a bunch of
stuff that happens at the beginning of the month. However, there weren't
necessarily a lot of actual users on the system, just a select few.
One of the things that was happening was a user was using the web interface,
and sent off a huge horrible query. When it didn't come back in a reasonable
amount of time, he simply hit "Refresh" on the page, thereby submitting the
query again (thank you Sir, may I have another!). This was partly why the
database was so heavily loaded.
Now, we're puzzled by a couple of things. One, is the spike of actual
connections in the DB Pool up to 150. This makes no sense.
Second, is this error detailed above. I've tried some contrived
experiements, and I can not raise this specific exception myself. My
experiment was to issue a "update table set column = 1 where id = 1" in a
generic SQL browser, thus locking the row, and then issue the identical
command through a Session Bean call. It has happily sat there for up to 10
minutes (600 seconds, which is our default <JTA Name="inf4.2"
TimeoutSeconds="600"/> setting), and it eventually times out, but not with
the same exception. Rather I get "java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01013: user
requested cancel of current operation" from Weblogic, and
"weblogic.transaction.internal.TimedOutException:" from my client.
Apparently, according to the original exception, an XA Resource has not
responded within 120 seconds, but through my testing, that XA resource isn't
necessarily a SQL connection waiting on a query.
Could someone provide insight as to what resource the system may be waiting
on? For in theory, to me, that's what is consuming our DB Pool. I'm assuming
that whatever they're waiting on (the DB apparently), they're ALL waiting on
it, and the reason that the pool spikes is because the system can never find
a "valid" connection, thus trying again with a new one. Is that what it
happening?
Clearly we basically have a tuning issue, but in fact, I'm looking for a
stability solution. When this occurred, our system run 3 load balanced
"legs". The middle leg was having the problem. When we dropped it, leg 3
picked up and then IT had the problem. However, once we killed all 3 of them
and restarted, they recovered.
So I'm looking for some idea to keep Weblogic alive, even at the expense of
booting off these offending transactions, and not having to restart the
servers.
Perhaps over time the system would have recovered on its own (most probably
in fact), but if we can get things cut off early (as well as beating users
that hit Refresh constantly when things "stick"), we can prevent these from
escalating the effectively downing the whole site.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You don't want the pool in flux at runtime, either shrinking or
growing. Just have it make what you need at startup and keep it.
Test-on-release is a waste of cycles. Also, I set keep-xa-con
till tx complete, to ensure that only one connection is ever
used for a given tx. XA allows connections to be changed at the
granularity of a single JDBC call, but that provides no real
benefit, and some overhead.
Let me know if this helps, and do let me know what real
service pack you're running.
thanks

Virtualised Multi-Instance SQL Server Cluster - Processor Resource Management
Hi - We're in the process of implementing a multi-instance SQL 2014 guest cluster on Windows 2012 R2. To our dismay, it seems that Windows System Resource Manager (WSRM) is deprecated in Windows 2012 R2, so we're now stuck for how best to manage CPU usage
between SQL instances....
As far as I can see, I'm left with two options, but both of these have problems:
1) Use SQL Processor affinity within the guest cluster, with each SQL instance assigned to dedicated v-CPU. However, I'm not certain that setting SQL Processor affinity within a VM will actually have the desired affect!?..
- When there is physical CPU capacity available, I'd hope Hyper-V would provide it to whichever v-CPU is demanding it.
- When VM processor demand exceeds the physical CPU capacity, I'd hope the SQL instances would receive a proportion of the physical CPU time according to the number of v-CPU(s) assigned through the affinity settings.
2) Use a VM (actually 2, because its a 2-node guest cluster) per SQL instance!.. This is not ideal, as we need multiple SQL instances and it would result in have an administrative and performance overhead
Does anyone have any information or thoughts on this? How can we manage a virtualised multi-instance SQL deployment now that WSRM has been deprecated? Help me please!I'm not sure what are the requirements for each of the 2 VMs in in the SQL guest cluster.
I'm assuming the guest cluster resides on a Hyper-V CSV with at least 2 Hyper-V hosts, and the 2 VMs are configured with Anti-affinity to ensure they never reside on the same Hyper-V host.
I've been able to configure CPU resources to VMs from the standard controls in Hyper-V Manager:

This matters because of these limitations.

Hi,
I upgraded to RH9 (from RHX5) and very happily started to use both the Snippet and Resource Manager functionality.
I seem to have hit a mental block despite reading the help and looking up this forum regarding updating images in the resource manager .....
I have multiple projects and the same image is used throughout the projects - sometimes only once in a project and sometimes multiple times in the same project.
Lets say this image is called Picture1.gif - due to program re-design I now need to update Picture1.gif.
Picture1.gif is stored in Resource Manager and as it is linked then a copy is also stored in my project.
I delete the old image, create a new image, rename it to the original name Picture1.gif and drag it to Shared Resources and then drag it back again so that it is linked.
Despite the back and forth steps this does in fact work - the image is updated in other projects as expected.
However, if an image appears in a project multiple times then I have to change it everywhere before I can rename it, etc. etc.
I feel quite sure that I am missing something here and that the whole process should be simpler!!
I would have expected somehow to be able to update the image in the resource manger and then sync.
TIA

In my own experience, it really shouldn't matter where you update the image, as the Resource Manager is a two way street. If you update in RoboHelp, it should be sensed and the updated image copied from your project to replace and update the centralized image. And likewise, if you update the centralized image, Resource Manager should update your project to match the updated centralized image.
Again, I woudn't want to first delete the image followed by saving a new one using the same name. I would either open one of them (centralized or project) and edit as needed. Or edit a copy, make edits, then save using the same file name so the existing image is replaced.
To the best of my knowledge, Resource Manager should sense the change as the date/time stamp should be different as well as possibly the size. Then the automation should kick in to update the image's counterpart and synchronize everything nicely. The only fly in this ointment would be if the new image were different in size from the pixel measurement standpoint. If the new image is wider or taller or narrower or shorter, you would need to ensure that you reset the sizes in your project so they match the new dimensions. Otherwise they will be a bit skewed and have the fun house effect. I believe RoboHelp supplies a script for this.
Cheers... Rick

NI VXI Resource Manager keeps on saying locked up
Whenever I run resource manager, it keeps saying it locks up last time when it was running although it was not really locked up last time. Anybody knows how to fix this? Thanks.
I have some additional information and questions regarding this issue.
What version of NI-VISA and MAX do you have installed? There is
an issue with MAX 4 and Resman crashing when run outside of MAX.
A patch for this issue is on our website. However, I have never seen the issue this patch fixes not hang Resman. So my guess is that this is not what is happening in your case since you say it works for a month or so.
What happens when you run Resman twice in a row? Do you get the
hang message the second time? If you do, it's likely that you
have a registry permission problem. To detect lockups, Resman
writes a value to the registry when it starts, and deletes it just
before it exits. If the registry value is still present when
Resman starts, it says it detected a lockup. Thus if the key has
been created but not deleted due to registry permissions problems,
Resman will -always- say it locked up. Are you logged in as
Administrator? What permissions do you have on the computer?

CProjects Resource Management fails
We have a resource-management requirement which cProjects does not seem to satisfy. Your inputs...
In our business scenario:
- A Project Role may have a number of tasks to perform.
- The same role may work on the same task across a number of time periods - say 5 days in January, another 3 days in Feb, 6 days in Apr. and so on.
How can we ensure that the resource is booked only for those dates when he is assigned to the tasks?
Staffing drives the resource availability, not the resource-task assignment. We can only staff a resource for an extended period of time, say Jan to Apr, for say, 14 days. But this does not help in our case because this only determines floating booking (14 days across 4 months), not the fixed booking for the days when he is actually assigned to the task(s).
Copy Staffing does not help our case because, when we use this, the system copies the entire set of tasks already assigned to the resource (including the ones which he need work more than once)
Nor does the system allow to staff the same role with the same resource more than once (except by "Copy Staffing", which does not solve the case).
Is there any way we can break the deadlock?Hi.
It is possible to split the role-task assignment into multiple rows with different start- and finnish dates in the "Tasks Assigned to Selected Project Role Screen"
Not so nice to maintain but it could perhaps be way forward?
Regards / Anders
Ps.
By doing this you will also get the cost planning split according to the dates used. -
Resource manager experts, kindly advise!
Hi All,
Currently our database server (with 8 CPUS) is having 2 database 'A' and 'B'. Database 'A' has no problem as it's a small instance with not much users. However, for database 'B', the online users encounter slowness frequently as some reports are generating at that time as well. As such, we would like to limit reporting schema to 20% of the CPU, online users 60% and the remaining 20% to the rest of the schemas.
However for our case, since there are 2 databases in the server, using resource manager ALONE for database 'B' won't helps right? As 2 databases are sharing the 8 CPU, we are unsure how will resource manager work in this case in percentage allocation since only the problem database will be using resource manager adding up 100% of CPU Allocation.
Anything needed to be configured in OS level? Kindly advise as i do not have much system admin exposure.
OS: AIX 5.3
DB 10.2.0.3
thanksThis is probably a conversation you want to have with your AIX admins. Any high end Unix is going to have some ability to partition the system to prevent one user's processes from overwhelming the system. But these tools may require additional licensing, may require substantial configuration, may require changes to your Oracle setup (i.e. the two databases may need to be in different homes owned by different users), etc. The AIX folks would be the ones to have this conversation with.
A 30-second Google search turns up [this discussion of partition load manager in AIX|http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/index.jsp?topic=/iphat/iphbkconfigureplm.htm] that seems like it may be what you want.

CRM 7 Marketing Resource Management and BI
Hello Gurus,
we want to use the scenario for marketing resource management with integrated BI.
Unfortunately in customizing and SAP Help only the connection to SAP BI BPS is described.
As far as I know BPS is an old tool. What about the use of BI-IP or BPC?
If you any information on that, I would be happy if you share it with me.
Thanks a lot and kind regards
HannesYes, Marketing resource management (MRM) is about managing all the resources required in marketing - money/budgets, time and resources (people, assets, etc.) and improving efficiency.
Defined by analysts as "a set of processes and capabilities that aim to enhance a company's ability to coordinate and optimize the use of internal and external marketing resources. MRM applications facilitate planning and budgeting, they coordinate execution and measure the impact of marketing efforts."
So, it goes beyond scenario planning and also includes budgeting, digital asset management, workflows, etc.
Refer to this link for documentation:
