Unable to connect to a CMS from version control

If I login life cycle manager as an administrator, everything works fine. However, if I log in as a normal user. I click on version control, LCM prompts me to log in, I type in the user credential. I get null pointer exception...the stack trace in lcm.log shows:
[2010-02-23 19:28:16,254] [ERROR] [com.businessobjects.lcm.utilities.LCMLogger] java.lang.NullPointerException

How do people check in and out if the only one who can launch version control is the administrator? I'm almost certain it is a permission issue, but I couldn't figure out which one needs to be granted. I already granted everyone full control over LCM application. Is this a bug? I'm on SP2, Fix Pack 2.4

Hi Maverick,
Which version LCM is in? is it in SP2?
Check whether your CM job server is enabled or not under CMC>>servers
If it is there, Enable it and try to login LifeCycleManager.
If it is not there, Re-install the LifeCycleManager
Otherwise , please check the Folder rights for the LCM for "View" rights..

Unable to connect to defined CMS from Crystal reports Enetrprise

Hi all,
I am using SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise XI 4.0 (SP2 Patch 6). We have 2 independent Intelligence & Processing Tiers installed with their own CMS services. However, temporarily we are using only 1 common WAS Netweaver 7.3 for both CMS (when we connect to CMC/BI Launch pad we juts type different CMS name). Both of them are on same patch level, etc.
My problem is that when I try to connect to BO Enterprise (BI 4.0) from Crystal reports, I am unable to specify to which CMS it has to connect - since it take the Server name and not the CMS name. It automatically connects me to only 1 of the CMS while there is no chance to connect to another (it might have somewhere recorded the CMS name). is there a chance to choose between those 2 CMS to which Crystal should connect?
Thanks!
Erik.

Erik,
You should specify the name of the server where BOE is installed. You can use the FQDN or even the IP address and the port name.

Hi,
Few things to note:
1. Are you using Java Admin launchpad or the .NET one and if its Java then is it deployed on the same machine as this custom java application?
2. Looks like this app is running off JBOSS and JBOSS is unsupported for Enterprise Web application Deployments.
3. You can trace on the CMS and see if its actually getting the request from the application.
Thanks

Unable to connect to Forms 6i from Oracle 9i

Hi,
I have Oracle 9.2.0 (Personal edition) and Forms 6i installed on a Win2K PC.
I am able to connect to the DB from SQLPLUS. But, I am unable to connect to the DB from Forms 6i. I was getting a ORA-12203 error. Then I configured the DB connection through the Net Easy Config. Also I tried to copy the network/admin/tnsnames.ora file from my database ORACLE_HOME to the Developer Suite ORACLE_HOME. Now I am getting the ORA-12222 TNS: No such protocol adapter error.
Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong and what is that I need to do to resolve the problem.
Thanks in advance!!!

Normaly forms6i uses Tnsnames.ora file to connect to the database. You need to setup your Tnsnames.ora file correctly by clicking Start---Programs---Directory for Oracle--Oracle net8 easy config, and configure your database connection.

I have a Dell Power Edge Server with 1 network card. I have installed VMWare ESXi 5 on it. Created several Windows 2003 Servers Virtual Machines. Networking is working fine all these windows machines. On one of the virtual machines I have installed Oracel VM Server 2.2.2 (Dom0) and on top of it I am trying to install Oracle VM Template for Oracle 11g provided by Oracle. I am having connectivity issues on the Oracle 11gDB (DomU). I can ping and ssh from Dom0 to DomU and vice versa. But I cannot connect the Oracle DB machine from any other machine. I can connect the Oracle VM Server (Dom0) from other computers in my network.
Any clue what the issue is ?
Thanks,

How do I fix project after "Remove From Version Control" corrupted it?

I am using RoboHelp 9.0.1 and installed both Tortoise SVN 1.6.9 and latest PushOK SVNSCC then added my large RoboHelp project to SVN. I was able to check in and out files from SVN but had several issues with it:
1) Super super slow. Working with folders or any renames would take 10 seconds per file and up to 1 hour if needed to refresh the root folder.
2) I could not perform some actions at all, such as delete, rename, or move folders. I kept getting COM errors.
I therefore decided that working with SVN and RoboHelp is not practical, at least not on my VPN so I decided to disconnect the project from source control and just work locally. The only option that I saw that sounded like it would do that was the "Remove from Version Control". This started a process that lasted for several hours. At the end of it, I now have several significant issues:
1) The order of the files and folders in my Project Manager is completely wrong now. I have almost 1000 topics and reordering all of them is not possible.
2) The Table of Contents, Glossary, and Index files appear empty. They had content before.
2) A couple of the Single Source Layouts I had created are completely missing.
3) Many, but not all, of the folders have tons of files with the extension ending in "_temp_removed_by_svn"
4) Many, but not all, of the files are actually gone from SVN so I can't recover a clean image. There was no warning that this command would actually delete the files from SVN (I thought it would just remove the version control connection).
5) Who know what other issue exist that I haven't seen.
Any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Are the "_temp_removed_by_svn" files in your local folder or SVN? Let us know how you get on with the new project. It sounds like something is wrong with SVN. Can you use the SVN Log command to see whether there is a different version you can restore. This might also give you an indication of what might have caused the problem. You could try deleting your CPD file. It gets rebuilt it is isn't there anyway. This file can become bloated and it is good practice to delete it when it gets close to 2mb in size. Your project is fairly large and has a lot of folders and may affect performance. Have you considered splitting them and merging the output? I know you probably don't want to consider this right now, but I think it may be a better long term solution.

1.1    Using a New Project for the First Time
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The author must have local administrator rights on the machine. If the user has a privileged account, they must set up full local control of their work folder (specified in 1.1.2.8).
1.1.1    Install RoboHelp and RoboSource Control
1.    Download appropriate software packages, including all patches, from Adobe.
2.    Launch RoboHelp Installer. Select the following options for installation:
o   RoboHelp for HTML
o   RoboSource Control (Client)
o   CS4 Script Extender
INSTALLATION NOTES
Installation of each component is separate and may take up to 30 minutes. You do not have to install RoboHelp for Word.
Only select the Client Install for RoboSource Control.
3.    Install all patches in the order specified by the vendor. Check with the technical communicator on which version is currently in use for patching.
1.1.2    Open the Project
1.    Launch RoboSource Control.
2.    Establish a database connection per section 3.3.1.
3.    Close RoboSource Control.
4.    Launch RoboHelp 8 for HTML.
5.    Click Open under Recent Projects under the main frame (do not use title bars).
6.    Click the Open Project from version control button (shown below).
7.    Make sure that RoboSource Control 3.1 is highlighted as the Version Control Provider and the checkbox for “Make this my default selection” is checked. Click OK.
8.    Configure the Source Control system as follows:
Connection: PROD
Root Path: Click the … button and navigate to the (project name) root in the database and click OK. This may take several minutes.
Connection Mode: Online
Get to Local Path: Click the … button and navigate to your Data folder. Select Make New Folder under Data and give the folder a unique name to help you identify the files as for the Support KB in RoboHelp.
9.    Click OK when you have configured source control. A copy of the database is now being downloaded to the path you specified. This may take up to 20 minutes.
You can verify that installation is proceeding either by watching your local path fill with files or keeping an eye on the CPU usage of the RSO3MiddleTierService and RoboHelpHTML files under Task Manager.
10. Once transfer is complete, highlight Tier1KB.xpj and click Open. It may take several minutes to open the project the first time. It is typical for the snippet file to check out the first time you open the project and the first time each day that you save all project files.
11. Once the project is open, set Version Control properties:
a.         Select Tools > Options.
b.         On the Version Control tab, select all options. This will prompt the user on each version control action they take.
12. Test a check out/check in to validate correct installation and source control operation.

It's the settings in miscproperties in the XPJ and it works in TFS just fine. I'ts as follows:
<miscproperties>
<matchedpair>
<name>vc::provider</name>
<value>Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider</value>
</matchedpair>
<matchedpair>
<name>vc::agent</name>
<value>MSSCC</value>
</matchedpair>
<matchedpair>
<name>vc::database</name>
<value>http://ap-gda113-tfs-a:8080/tfs/centric|NB-WWEELDEN|ITS\Wweelden</value> <- Add the TFS URL, your workspace name and your domain name.
</matchedpair>
<matchedpair>
<name>vc::cookie</name>
<value>$/BV - MVV/Main/Tools/Documentatie/mvv-beheerders</value> <- The location of the project in TFS.
</matchedpair>

Opening a project from version control

RH11 | WebHelp
This may be related to my previous post (File Status "New version available") but I am now unable to open a project from version control using the padlock button in RoboHelp's Open Project dialog box. It lets me select a project to open, but then just sits there, not doing anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jonathan

This sounds like a bug to me. Does the RH11 work on a Windows 7 machine? If you have a VMWare lying around, you may want to give that a shot. Short of contacting Adobe with a bug report, I'm out of idea's.
Kind regards,
Willam

Project Not Checking out From Version Control

All of our help projects are managed using version control
(Team Foundation Server).
I recently had an XPJ file that became corrupted. As per
Adobe's instructions, I deleted the XPJ and CPD files and
regenerated the project from the HHP file. That worked fine, but
now launching the project from the XPJ file opens the project
outside of version control. (I'm no longer being prompted to check
the files out.) I think this is because the newly created XPJ file
now disassociated with the source control. If this is true, how do
I get the XPJ file back into source control?
Hopefully this makes sense.

Hi Christina,
My understanding of the entire "version control" process is
limited but since no one else has thrown in, I will try to pass
along what little I know. What I have learned is that version
control works great until it doesn't.
What I've had to do in the past, when I've had these sort of
synchronization problems, is to remove the entire project from
version control (I would be sure to back up your local project as
well as your version-controlled project). Then, you should be able
to add the repaired project back to your source control software
(we use MS VSS but I think it shouldn't matter).
I have tried, in the past, to add individual files to the
database from the RH interface (you could try "check in all files")
and I have gone into the database and manually added the necessary
files, but I have had mixed results. In the end, it seems that
removing the project from version control, then adding it back, is
the only thing that is guaranteed to work.
Good luck!

BIA 7.9.6.1 Unable to connect to Informatica services from DAC

Hi All,
As a learning exercise, I have installed the following on a single Windows XP machine (Am aware that Windows XP is not supported for Informatica Service install - but currently have access to only this machine)
- OBIA 7.9.6.1
- Informatica 8.6.1 client & services with hotfix 6
- DAC client & server
I have created the Repository and Integration services in Informatica PowerCenter and are running in normal mode
I have configured the DAC as per installation document. I am now trying to configure the DAC Integration Settings for informatica.
I am unable to register an Integration service or a repository service and get the following errors,
On testing the Integration Service registration
Failure connecting to "INFORMATICA_DW_SERVER"!
And in the log file I find

Could anyone please suggest what could be the cause of these errors. Any pointers to how to debug this will also be great. Please note I am totally new to Informatica and OBIA.
Many Thanks,
Kiran

HI All,
I fixed the first part of the issue. Now I am able to connect top the Integration Service. I created system environment variable INFA_DOMAINS_FILE and included the BIN path in PATH variable.
However unable to connect to the Informatica Repository service. I am getting the follwoing error
Failure connecting to "INFORMATICA_REP_SERVER"!
