Unable to see new role in environment

An end user said that a role that was working last week is no longer available in the portal. No changes have been made to the system in the past week.
A co-worker successfully imported this new role into the portal a week ago, but the change did not synchronize to all the servers in the environment. We have one Central Instance and two Web Application Servers in our Java environment.  The import was successfully completed on WAS1. I verified this by checking the PCD import log files on WAS1. When I log into the portal running on WAS1 the new role is available. When I log into the portal running on the Central Instance the role is NOT available.
To resolve the issue a logged into the portal running on the Central Instance and used System Administration >Transport Packages> IMPORT to import the *.epa file containing this role.
Is there something else I should have done to resolve this use? How does a the system synchronize changes to objects in the java environment?

Hi,
when doing a depoly of an application (PAR) or EPA, you basically just copy the file to a (shared) folder on your java instance. This change get's recognized by your instance.
If it's a PAR, the instance informs all the other instances in your cluster of the change. They all access the application and do a local deploy / installation of the change.
If it's an EPA (PCD objects), the instance reads the content and writes it to the DB and informs the other instances that a DB change has occured and they should read the DB again to sync their content.
Normally, the deploy;import works without problems in a server, but can produce from time to time some errors / sync issues. Depending on the cache, an instance simply won't read the DB. You can use a tool from SAP that checks the instance and DB for sync issues (the tool is called something like: PCDcheckDB.sh).
Generally, you should clear the cache of your portal after every deploy/transport to ensure that the user is getting the latest version:
- Navigation cache
- portal DB cache
- PCD cache
- (HTTP provider cache, web dispatcher cache)
Depending on you configuration (cluster with many servers and nodes), you see this issue several times, you can do the following:
- Shut your DI down and do the deploy on your CI.
- Restart your DI with the sync option. This way, they will sync the content of the DB and disregard the local cache.

  • Unable to see some Roles in Query designer

    Hi all,
    I have created a role in PFCG having some queries and assigned that role to my user id.
    When i log into Query designer i m unable to see that role and all other roles i am able to see.
    What could be the reason for this?
    Did i missed to assign any authorizations?
    Thanks,
    Jaya.

    Hi Anoop,
    The variable is probably being used to restrict a key figure.
    Go to the key figures,
    Display the technical names
    Check the key figures for which the technical name is not appearing even though the key figure is not a formula.
    Here you will see one of the key figure being restricted by a variable for 0calday
    Hope this helps.

  • Unable to see Publisher roles in obiee 11g

    Hi All,
    I have installed OBIEE 11g (11.6). In Admin tool for the user weblogic I am unable to see the publisher roles XMLP_SCHEDULER, XMLP_ADMIN, XMLP_DEVELOPER etc.. But I am able to access publisher.
    Only able to see BI Administrator, BI Author, BI Consumer BI System.
    In OBIEE 10g, I am able to see all the roles for Administrator user once I installed.
    Thanks.

    Hi Amit,
    XMLP roles doesnot exist in Enterprise manager's Security > Application roles. How should I get them. Shouldnt I get default with the installation..???
    Thanks.Have you installed BI Publisher along with OBIEE ? If yes, then the roles should have been created in the enterprise manager by default. Since you dont see them, I believe you will have to manually create all the application policies and then application roles and assocaite them. You either find them in the documnetation on what to create etc or you can try installing .5 version of OBIEE to replicate the same in .6.

  • Refresh window to see new role

    If I add a new role it becomes only visible by quiting and re-login to the Portal.
    Isn't it possible to refresh to see a new role?

    A lot depends on whether the role has been given to the user dircetly, or through group membership. If you assign a role directly to a user, then a browser refresh will handle this. However, if the role is given to a group and the group is then assigned to a user, then a logoff/logon will be required, as group membership is only picked up at logon time.

  • No videos recording and unable to see new pictures with iOS 6

    I recently updated my Iphone 4S with iOS6 and when I try to record a video the app crashes. Is there anything that I may do to resolve this situation?
    On the other hand pictures taken are not visible on the camera roll. I only can see old pictures but no newones.
    Is anyone having the same issues?
    Any clue?

    Followed every one of the many branches to this link. Not a single thing helped. Ultimately completely removed Firefox from my desktop and then reinstalled it (importing my address book from my laptop).
    Makes me a lot less of a fan of Mozilla, if the program is this inherently unstable.

  • When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue

    When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue.

    Hi Jdentremont,
    Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
    the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
    deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
    To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
    1.  Navigate to
     “X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
    You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
    2. Delete all the files in this folder.
    3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
    %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
    4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
    5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
    Best regards,
    Eric

  • SAP AC 10 : ERM working fails (Unable to add Actions,permission)to new role

    Hello Gurus,
    We have done configuration for Role creation via ERM in SAP GRC AC 10.
    The configuration is done via BRF+ and MSMP ,when we try to create a new role via
    NWBC > ACCESS MANAGEMENT>Role Management -->Role Maintenance.
    We see that the correct "methodology" is selected which contains following steps
    Define Role --> Maintain Authorization -->Risk Analysis -->Request Approval -->generation.
    We go past 1st stage and when we are at Maintaining authorizations , the "edit" option is disabled
    It is not possible to add any Action (Tx), Permission(Objects) to the role.
    Is there something else that we need to configure or something that is missing ??
    Please suggest.

  • Unable to see empty reporting role folders

    Hi all,
    I am facing an issue where the Reporting Roles containing the empty folders aren't visible in Bex..
    I want to create a query and assign it to the newly created folder. But the folder is empty as  of now, and hence not visible when i try to save the query.
    Any information would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Manisha

    Hi there,
    Create a new role in PFCG transaction which you want to input your query.
    Assign that role to your user.
    Go to the query designer and edit your query.
    Choose Publish->To Role and you'll see all the available roles assigned to your user (including the new one). You can publish that query into that new role (and also create new folders inside the list of the available roles).
    Hope this helps,
    Regards,

  • Got new iMac, I had completed the migration from PC to new Apple computer, but still unable to see the files on the iTunes

    got new iMac, I had completed the migration from PC to new iMac, but still unable to see all the apps and music that were saved from the old PC to new iMac. Please help.

    My guess is the 30-day trial period has expired but you didn't remove the trial before installing the full version. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.
