Unique instance names in distributed environment

The 11.1.2.1 installation guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_11121.pdf) says, on page 122 of the .pdf:
+"When you configure in a distributed environment, provide a new, unique instance name as you configure each server. For example, if you are using the default instance name epmsystem1 on the first server, and you keep the same naming convention on subsequent servers, you would create new, unique instance names on each subsequent server, such as epmsystem2, epmsystem3, and so on."+
No reason not to follow this advice, but wondering if it's really necessary. I feel sure I've seen installations where 'epmsystem1' was used on e.g. both a web application server and the Essbase server. Perhaps I'm remembering incorrectly.

Yes each server requires a unique name as it is registers the server with the shared services registry against the instance name, maybe it was on a 11.1.2.0 deployment that you saw the same instance name across the distributed environment.

Provide a new, unique instance name - Distributed Environment

Hi,
I am not sure about this piece of information in installation docs
please refer

What if i use same path "d:\.......\epmsystem1" on all servers in distributed environment?

Thanks John,
Mostly i configured different instance name ("D:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem1" and "D:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem2" etc.
but i have one client where i see similar instance on all servers in distributed environment "D:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem1" and "D:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem1" etc.
Please advice? and let me know what could be impact of these two scenario.

Creating instances of symbols with unique instance names in Actionscript 3

Hey
I was wondering if it is possible to create a large number (lets say 100) of symbol instances where each of the different instances had its own unique instance- name . The names beeing something like ball1, ball2, ball3, etc..
Normally i would just create all these and manually give them their name, so a solution to this would spear me alot of time.
Thanks

Here's a very simple example that should get you started:
var howMany:int = 100;
var itemNameList:Array = new Array();
function populateScreen() {
     for(var i:int = 0 ; i < howMany ; i++) {
            var newBox:box = new box();
            addChild(newBox);
            newBox.name = "box" + i;
            itemNameList.push(newBox.name);
            newBox.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth/2;
            newBox.y = Math.random() * stage.stageHeight/2;
     trace(itemNameList);
populateScreen();
Have a movieClip in the movie's Library with a class name of "box". Create a new instance of that object, add it to the display list and then set a name property. I then added each name to an array so that you can keep track of the objects. I then placed each one at a random location on the screen.

Urgent!!, what is my unique instance name?

I've installed Infrastructure, now I'm adding forms but when installing forms I get an error:
enter a unique instance name for this Oracle9iAS and ias_admin password.
I tried the SID, the service name, and I'm still getting the error.
Carlos

I found the problem.
It is not going to use the same db, I entered a new db name and is creating a new one.

Instance in distributed environment for 11.1.2.1 using maintenance release

Hi Experts,
As i plan for 11.1.2.1 using maintenance (from 11.1.2).
I need clarification:
as in 11.1.2 "Oracle EPM Instance name" was similar on all servers (D:\oracle\middleware\user_project; epmsystem1)
while in 11.1.2.1 "Oracle EPM Instance" should be different (D:\oracle\middleware\user_project; epmsystem1, D:\oracle\middleware\user_project; epmsystem2, etc....)
OR EPM ORACLE Instance Directory recommended on shared drive accessible to all machine.
In my case 11.1.2 is having similar instance name on all servers.
Please suggest
Regards
Kumar

Hi John,
Thanks for the help.
As per suggested document
When you configure in a distributed environment, provide a new, unique instance name as you configure each server. For example, if you are using the default instance name epmsystem1 on the >first server, and you keep the same naming convention on subsequent servers, you would create new, unique instance names on each subsequent server, such as epmsystem2, epmsystem3, and >so on. Is it applicable in maintenance release where all instance name are similar (epmsystem1) on all servers?
Does it mean i should modify and make it (epmsystem1, epmsystem2, epmsystem3....)?
Please suggest as i am not very sure
Regards
Kumar

Acquiring movieclip instance names

I need to write a function that retrieves the instance names of movie clips without knowing what those instance names are.
Here's the scenario:
The timeline reaches a frame which has a movieclip with an instance name of "bigClip"
bigClip itself holds a number of movieclips, each with its own unique instance name. On the enterFrame of bigClip, I want to retrieve all the instance names that are on bigClip and put them in an array.
I can't seem to figure this out. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Well I doubt you want to do it on the enterframe of bigClip. Do you really need to find the names of all the clips 30 times a second every second that big clip exists? I'm guessing/hoping you just mean when bigClip starts.
In any event you can make a function that returns an array. Perhaps something like this:
function findChildrenClips(clip:MovieClip):Array{
var theClips:Array=new Array();
for(var a in clip){
if(typeof(clip[a])=="movieclip"){
theClips.push(clip[a]);
return theClips;
Then on the frame where big clip exisits you can do this:
var foundClips:Array=findChildrenClips(bigClip);
Now if you really want to do this onEnterFrame you could probably do it, but there is probably a better way to structure your file in that case.

Flash actions and instance names

Hi, i'm after some advise on how to navigate around the timeline using buttons. I know this sounds simple but i'm running into some daft problems.
I've added a single instance for a button called 'button' which appears on multiple keyframes. This button only appears once per keyframe but some of the actions are getting mixed up. I know that i can create multiple instances to get around this but in principle i cant see why having one action attached to one instance per keyframe would cause an issue regardless of that fact i have the same instance appear on multiple keyframes. Should flash be behaving like this?
Andy

Hi Ned, what i have is a layer called actions that hosts a number of actionscripts with a keyframe for each script. To save time i usually create the first frame using unique instance names and then i simply copy and paste them into subsequent keyframes. So each KEYFRAME has unique instances. I thought that by doing this i would save time by not having to re-name or reposition each instance that appears on my timeline - this would take a long time not to mention the complications it would cause should i decide to shuffle a few frames about later on. For the majority of the time everything works just fine but occasionally the timeline will jump to somewhere totally unexpected. the problem is compounded by the fact that many of these buttons control video playback, so you can imagine the mess this is causing.
If what i'm doing is bad practice then i'll happily do it the right way by naming each instance but i'm still struggling to see why actions are getting mixed up when they run on their own keyframe.

Email subject line with Alert unique Identifier,host name, instance name

Is there any way that i can set the following information in the notification email subject line,
Alert Unique Category,
Host name,
instance name.

Yes I did look under the email customization section. But i am unable to get how to place alert Unique ID with in the subject line as i don't see any variable to place under it.
Please advise.

Question about Databases on a distributed environment...

Hi,
I have quick question. We have production in a distributed environment as follows
(a) SQL server, EPMA, and Calc Manager
(b) Workspace, and Shared Services
(c) Essbase
(d) Planning
Now we have multiple databases for each hyperion service i.e.
(1) HSS (using for hyperion shared service)
(2) BIPLUS (Using for workspace)
(3) AAS (Using for Essbase Administrator Services)
(4) CALCMGR (Using for calculation manager)
(5) EPMA (Using for EPMA)
(6) ERPI (Using for ERP Integrator)
(7) PLANSYS (Using for Planning)
Now, my question is ....is it necessary that we have that multiple database in a distributed environment or we can have one database for everything? What is main objective for creating databases for each application?
Please share your best knowledge and give me positive and negative about multiple database and single database for hyperion...
Thanks to all...
Safi

I am going to be lazy and copy an extract from the install doc
For simplicity and ease of deployment, you can use one database repository for all products (with the exceptions noted below). When you configure multiple products at one time using EPM System Configurator, one database is configured for all selected products.
Caution!
To use a different database for each product, perform the “Configure Database” task separately for each product. In some cases you might want to configure separate databases for products. Consider performance, rollback procedures for a single application or product, and disaster recovery plans.
The following products and product components require unique databases:
Performance Management Architect interface data source
Extended Analytics for Financial Management and Extended Analytics for Strategic Finance
Planning – Each Planning application should have its own repository.
Performance Scorecard
FDM – Use an Oracle Database instance exclusively for FDM.
Data Relationship Management.

Multiple MovieClips with same instance name

I'm following a tower defence tutorial and part of the code is set up so I can build towers on the "grass" movie clip. I wanted to add more patches of "grass" and gave them all the same instance name so I can be able to place towers on them, but I have the problem that I can only place towers on the first item I placed and has the instance name of "grass". I can't seem to place towers on the other patches of grass.
I removed the instance name of the first patch of grass and it let me build towers on the second patch, but the second patch only.
I was following this tutorial: http://www.goofballgames.com/2010/01/31/how-to-build-a-tower-defense-f lash-game-part-2-placing-towers/
Here is the code for it I believe:
onClipEvent (load)
    active = 0;
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
    if (active == 1)
        setProperty("", _x, int((_root._xmouse - 10) / 20) * 20 + 20);
        setProperty("", _y, int((_root._ymouse - 10) / 20) * 20 + 20);
hitTestOnGrassMovieClip = _root.grass.hitTest(_x, _y, 1);
        if (hitTestOnGrassMovieClip) {
            gotoAndStop(1);
   _root.ranger.gotoAndStop(1);
        else {
            gotoAndStop(2);
   _root.ranger.gotoAndStop(2);
        _root.ranger._x = _x;
        _root.ranger._y = _y;
        _root.ranger._width = _root["tower_" + tower].range * 2;
        _root.ranger._height = _root["tower_" + tower].range * 2;
on (press)
hitTestOnGrassMovieClip = _root.grass.hitTest(_x, _y, 1);
hitTestOnDeSelectMovieClip = _root.deselect.hitTest(_x, _y, 1);
    if (hitTestOnGrassMovieClip || hitTestOnDeSelectMovieClip) {
        if (hitTestOnGrassMovieClip) {
   ++_root.towerCount;
   _root["tower_" + tower].duplicateMovieClip("t" + _root.towerCount, 500 + _root.towerCount);
   a = _root["t" + _root.towerCount];
   a._x = _x;
   a._y = _y;
   a.active = 1;
active = 0;
setProperty("", _x, 1000);
_root.selectedTower = "";
_root.ranger._x = 1000;
_root.ranger._width = 10;
_root.ranger._height = 10;
}

1. You cannot use the same instance names for different objects and expect more than one to be targeted. You need to assign unique names, or you can store references to them in an array and use the array to target them.
2. You are posting AS2 code in the AS3 forum. You should repost in the AS2 forum. http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_actionscript

Deploy to Application Server Failed on a distributed environment

Hi All,
I am trying to configure new Hyperion verion 11.1.2.2 on distributed environment but during configuring calculation manager to application server failed and getting error message like "Deploy to Application Server Failed". I am not sure what is issue and how to fix it. I have tried to read log files but I am not able to undersantd where to look and debug this issue.
My Hyperion Environment over view as a below:-
1- I have used Microsoft VMWARE to build my Hyperion Enviornment
2- I have created 1 window server 2003 domain and made 4 clients of that domain. (All these systems have windows server 2003 installed). I have given name to each client server i.e. System A, System B, System C, System D
3- I have installed SQL 2005 and created databases for all Hyperion components i.e. Shared services, calculation manager, epma on a system A
5- I have installed and configured foundation services and weblogic server on a system B. (In this system I have installed and configured shared services, weblogic, workspace, and able to deploye application server on a same system)
6- On a system A I am able to complete installation for hyperion Performance Management Architect and Calculation Manager and able to finish all type of configuration for these two components but as soon as system trying to configure any related to APPLICATION SERVER services it fails to configure. On a configuration summary page system shows everything is configured but APPLICATION SERVER says FAILED wrtten on a red color letters.
I have explored log files and found that Calculation Manager application server failed to deploy or Deploy to Application server failed.....
Since, I am not sure where to look and how to debug this issue I am requesting to all hyperion friends to help and guide me to debug as I have been trying to install this product since last friday and still no out put....
I will be really thankful if someone share his or her wisdom to help me....
Thank you to all in Advance.....
Thanks,
Safi

Did you install all the WebLogic web applications on the foundation machine as well as the machine they are going to be deployed to.
"On the machine on which you plan to administer the WebLogic Server, you must install all Web applications for all applications you plan to deploy on any machine in the environment. (The WebLogic Administration Server is installed and deployed on the Foundation Services machine.)"

How to get instance name

I was wondering if there was any way to get the instance name
of the class to the class without having to pass it in when you
create the instance of it. For example, so I can do this:
var myObject:CustomClass = new CustomClass();
and then the class knows whats its instance name being used
is instead of having to do something like this:
var myObject:CustomClass = new
CustomClass("myObject");

As I think I found out how to gnerate unique key form components passed to my method and afterwards be able to get this key by knowing the component.My code is following:
public static String generateUniqueKey(Component c){
String resultString="";
String s = c.getAccessibleContext().getAccessibleComponent().toString();
StringBuffer stringbuffer = new StringBuffer(s);
if(!Character.isJavaIdentifierStart(stringbuffer.charAt(0))){
resultString="a_";
}else{
resultString=resultString+stringbuffer.charAt(0);
for(int j = 1; j < s.length(); j++){
if(!Character.isJavaIdentifierPart(stringbuffer.charAt(j))){
resultString=resultString+"_";
}else{
if (stringbuffer.charAt(j)=='$'){
resultString=resultString+"s_";
}else{
resultString=resultString+stringbuffer.charAt(j);
return resultString;
Any suggestions on this. May this result in problems anywhere?
Thanks
