Updating Application While Users are in the system

Version 9.3.1
Does anyone know if it is ok to update Planning metadata and push (refresh) the
database to Essbase while users are activily using and submitting data to the
application?
I've had some consultants say no, you risk corrupting the application and some
say it is fine.
Is there any impact to the users when the system is live?
Thanks,
Greg

Hi,
Although Essbase has a decent locking mechanism which stops users inputting data or running calculation during a database restructure and vice versa, I don't think it is a good practice to do a database refresh while users are logged in to the application. That's actually one of the reasons why you have an option to put the application into maintenance mode. Version 9 family is known to be more vulnerable, it is not very likely that you'd cause database to crash, but still the least severe that can happen would be the loss of input data that's not yet saved in Essbase.
Cheers,
Alp

  • Application messages are in the system log instead of the application log

    Hi SAP GURUS.
    The standard output is created from the outbound delivery .
    All the messages are hitting the system log instead of the application log .
    This is after the upgrade from 4.6c to ECC 6.0 .
    Please provide the details how to move the log to the application log since the output is the standard output (SAP provided output type ).

    Do these messages indicate a problem? If so what that could be problem and the solution?
    Can this contribute to the sleep/wakeup problem when iMac won't wakeup after being put to sleep manually and not sleeping according to Power Saving settings?
    Thanks a lot.

    I'm not certain if those messages indicate a power issue but you can try *resetting the System Management Controller* and see if that helps. Here's how: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1806
    "The System Management Controller (SMC) is a chip on the logic board that controls all power functions for your computer. If your computer is experiencing any power issue, resetting the SMC may resolve it. The SMC controls several functions, including:
    Telling the computer when to turn on, turn off, sleep, wake, idle, and so forth.

  • Importing application while people are working on HTMLDB

    I do my development on a test box, and then import the application to my production box. I do this after hours, when no one is on the database. Just wondering if it is possible to do the import live (while users are actively working on the DB). I have not tried this (for obvious reasons). Just wanted to know.
    Thanks,

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Time Machine should be enough to make a backup of your files. Also, it should back up all folders, so open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options, and make sure that there are no folders included in the excluded items list.
    If you want to create a bootable clone of your hard drive, you need to use an app like Carbon Copy Cloner or the Disk Utility's Restore feature > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU7.html

    I am currently using Windows 8 and also have Microsoft office installed but those are the only thing on my partitioned space.  I don't know if I installed 32 or 64 version of Windows 8.  Could that be the problem?

    Can you deal with XP not being supported by Apple and Microsoft? no security etc?
    Can you use Windows in a VM instead of natively?
    All the drives other than the one with XP will need to be pulled.
    Always have backups of your system, clone that you can boot from.
    Boot Camp 3.0 was the last supported. You don't need OEM 10.4.6 DVD and your system with EFI and SMC updates (Aug/Sept 2007) may not like it.
    32-bit version of Windows on EFI-32 will only get 1.9GB RAM.
    Installing 64-bit Windows 7 is a bit harder. Vista pre-SP1 64-bit was the best match for install on my 1,1 and that was 2006-2007.
    The new owner needs to deal with this, not you. And really they are better off with a $400 PC instead. Or use a VM.
    the owner should put in a new SSD for the system and $44 buys 4 x 2GB RAM. Together it will run just fine. 500GB SSD now $250 / $135 250GB. Biggest issue is a video card on these.
    The grey screen - you upgraded the graphic card perhaps.
    Unplug everything. Hit power for 5-10 seconds. Reconnect cables for mouse/kb and power, and monitor. You just reset SMC. Yes there is a small button - pull drive #4 and any controller in top slot #4 to see the SMC motherboard reset button but you don't need to.
    Any PCIe cards can also play a role and factor into XP or Windows not working.

  • Trace on User activity in the system

    Hi Experts,
    We have ECC6.0 installed in our organization, and now we want to find out the below points-
    1. Report on what time which users logged into the system.
    2. What are the t-codes or transaction they have executed in the system
    3. How much time they worked into the system and how much time they were idle in the system
    I want a cosolidated report from the system on the above points.
    Regards,
    Sudip

    Hi,
    you can run tcode ST03N to see some statistics on the executed reports/transactions in specific time frames of all/single users. Some information about can be requested via user information management (SUIM) as well as tcode AL08. However there is no report that covers all these things.. because this kind of observation may be a problem for workers' representatives.

  • While using my iPhone the system behavior changed where I now have to click on the app to select it, then double click to launch it. Same goes for entering in my password to access the phone and entering digits to make a phone. I am also having trouble

    While using my iPhone the system behavior changed where I now have to click on the app to select it, then double click to launch it. Same goes for entering in my password to access the phone and entering digits to make a phone. I am also having trouble swiping the screen to move to the next page. This is no longer working. I did not change any settings, the phone just started behaving this way. Any ideas on how to revert back to the single click selection/launch? Any assistant is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

    Hi Narendra,
    Go to SE38 and run report RM07CUFA .This report gives you details as it compares FI and MM customizing ( mvmt type / acct G/L accnt no)
    Either you have to change the setting of the GL or the movement type..as per business requirement.
    This report will exactly give you which field has the conflict.
    Probable some field is required in FI and suppressed in MM or vice versa.. check it out.

  • Wireless users are loosing the internet connection....

    Dear All, My wireless users are loosing the internet(http and https) connection many times per day. I just check the ports configuration in the switch, but The problem persist. The device is a Cisco Aironet 1130 AG. Someone have some idea???

    Dear All, My wireless users are loosing the internet(http and https) connection many times per day. I just check the ports configuration in the switch, but The problem persist. The device is a Cisco Aironet 1130 AG.
    You are barking the wrong tree.
    Can you please elaborate further?
    I need to determine whether the clients are loosing WIRELESS connection or loosing WAN connection.  Two different things, two different directions to choose from.  
    The easiest way to determine is this:
    Presume you have 10 clients and half the clients are associated to one WAP and the other to the other WAP.  Your description states that all 10 clients would loose internet connectivity.  Is this correct?  If this is so, then we start with your switch and your WAPs.  How are the WAPs powered?  PoE or power injector?  Can you console into the WAPs?  Can you post the output to the commands "sh version" and "sh logs"?  How about the switch?  Can you console into the switch?  Can you post the output to the commands "sh version" and "sh logs"?

  • Users are receiving the invalid response email from the Workflow mailer

    Hi All,
    The problem we are getting in the workflow is that when a user receives a response notification and the user responds to it then the user are receiving the invalid response email.
    The error in the email sent back is
    Error Message : Ora-01001 invalid cursor
    Error stack: &MAIL_STACK_ERROR
    I am unable to replicate the issue in test instance so that we can try to find some solution.
    Please can some one help me out it is really a high priority for us currently
    Thanks,
    Varun

    This does not happen for all the responses, it happens with some responses but it continues to happen untill we bounce the workflow services.
    Regarding the conditions under which this is caused we are not sure of it, if we know under what coonditionns this happens then may be we can try for the solution.
    Thanks,

  • The Windows SMB feature has file locking if multiple users are accessing the same file.  Does Snow Leopard Server File Sharing (AFP) provide similar features?

    The Windows SMB feature has file locking if multiple users are accessing the same file.  Does File Sharing (AFP) on Snow Leopard Server provide similar services?

    Were you ever able to solve this problem. I'm having similar issues since upgrading to snow leopard. Four macs connect to a Windows Server 2003 for shared files. Each user has full permissions & when we "get info" it shows read & write permissions. Two of the computers were running 10.4, two were running 10.5. Everything worked properly until upgrading to snow leopard. Some files let me copy, move, delete. Others either just hang up or we get a "no permission" error. Also getting a "pdf is in use" error, even when the file/folder doesn't contain a pdf. We had our IT rep check the server who said everything is in working order. They don't represent macs any longer but feel that it's a mac problem. I would have to agree since this problem only started after the upgrade, and the one machine that was not upgraded (still running 10.5.8) is not dealing with these problems.
    Lastly, I would install 10.5 back on all of the computers if I could, but the leopard disk that came with one of the computers wouldn't work with the 2 machines running 10.4 and I didn't see it available at the apple store. I'll buy it if it's still available, but why wouldn't the disks that I have work?
    Thanks for any help
