Urgent - Please confirm questions regarding repository (.rpd)

Please confirm that by changing the repository (.rpd) any reports developed using that repository will be lost.

Kishore mentioned the Subject Area, and his statement is correct. But allow me to describe what that means in terms of the repository.
You have three layers in the repository - Physical, Business Model, and Presentation. Even if you make TONS of changes in the Physical and/or Businee Model layers, but the folders and columns in the Presentation Layer remain the same (i.e. if all you're doing is changing the underlying definitions of the Presentation Layer objects), then your saved reports will be just fine. Answers will see the exact same columns that it saw before the changes, because you would have made no changes to what Answers looks at -- the Presentation Layer.
You may also ADD new columns to the Presentation Layer, and that won't hurt anything either, because your existing queries wouldn't have included them yet -- they didn't exist before!
If you move columns around in the Presentation Layer, into different folders, that would typically be a bad thing, because your existing query would be expecting to find a particular column in a particular presentation table, and it wouldn't be there.
If you rename a column, you would probably be OK. When you rename a Presentation layer column, OBIEE automatically assigns an Alias (see the columns Alias tab), so that existing reports don't break.

  • Improve function performance (it is urgent please help me regarding)

    i write nearly ten database function many of them are interlinked with each other when i call these function from a report then report become slower down too much nearly halted situation for 15 minutes
    my question is that how i can improve the performance of these function by any method
    note that these function just using one or two cursor and eache curosor containing nearly 100 records

    Also: nearly ten functions (nine and a half? nine and seven-eigthts?) is a lot of functions to fix all at once.
    1) Start with just one function. Get it working fast enough using the techniques Kamal mentions in standalone.
    2) Tune all the functions independently.
    3) Then add two functions together and see how they work. Tune when necessary.
    4) Continue adding one function to the report and tune the ensemble until finished.
    Good luck, APC

  • Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install tiger discs version 10.4.10. Is it safe to downgrade or not please help

    Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from Sep 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install (2) tiger discs version 10.4.10.  I want to know if it is safe and what are the necessary steps to do so. Also by downgrading im wondering if a lot of apps nowadays support tiger for example I have photoshop version 5 and 4 these are very important to me. One last question does anyone know of any reliable virus protection for mac that doesnt slow down your computer? because I have read that a lot of them do so. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it! Here are the specs for my iMac

    Most of the time a perception of general slow performance is the result of installing third party junk alleged to speed up, "clean" or "optimize" your Mac, or to look for viruses that don't exist. Ideally you would know what you installed so you can uninstall it, but if you don't know or aren't sure there are techniques such as Safe Mode and creating a temporary user account to confirm that suspicion.
    If you open Activity Monitor it may show a process, or processes, that occupy a lot of your system's time.
    Slowness confined solely to web browser activity is often the result of an inexorable progress toward websites that demand ever more processor-intensive tasks. If your slow performance is strictly limited to web browsing, you might try disabling Flash by either uninstalling it, or use utilities such as ClickToFlash that allow you to control what Flash content gets loaded. Flash in itself is not inherently evil, but there is nothing to stop websites or the advertisers who pay for them from writing horrible Flash code that can do everything from hogging 100% of your CPU's time to causing random crashes. You can watch Activity Monitor as in the above to correlate these troublesome web pages with performance degradation.
    You are correct; if your computer shipped with Tiger you may certainly revert to it. I forgot that Tiger was shipping on new Macs as recently as five years ago. To downgrade it would be necessary to completely erase your hard disk and boot with the Tiger installation DVD, followed by installing it anew. Such drastic measures are not necessary and you are unlikely to be satisfied with the results anyway.
    Assuming your system is free of third party parasitic junk attached to OS X in an ill-conceived attempt to improve upon it, that your hard disk drive is sound and the boot volume has enough free space to work with, by far the best performance-enhancing improvement would be to add more memory. Buy as much as your computer can use and that you can afford. 2 GB is not that much any more.

  • Question regarding Inheritance.Please HELP

    A question regarding Inheritance
    Look at the following code:
    class Tree{}
    class Pine extends Tree{}
    class Oak extends Tree{}
    public class Forest{
    public static void main(String args[]){
      Tree tree = new Pine();
      if( tree instanceof Pine )
      System.out.println( "Pine" );
      if( tree instanceof Tree )
      System.out.println( "Tree" );
      if( tree instanceof Oak )
      System.out.println( "Oak" );
      else System.out.println( "Oops" );
    }If I run this,I get the output of
    Pine
    Oak
    Oops
    My question is:
    How can Tree be an instance of Pine.? Instead Pine is an instance of Tree isnt it?

    The "instanceof" operator checks whether an object is an instance of a class. The object you have is an instance of the class Pine because you created it with "new Pine()," and "instanceof" only confirms this fact: "yes, it's a pine."
    If you changed "new Pine()" to "new Tree()" or "new Oak()" you would get different output because then the object you create is not an instance of Pine anymore.
    If you wonder about the variable type, it doesn't matter, you could have written "Object tree = new Pine()" and get the same result.

  • I have just got my iPad2 and very pleased with it. I have a question regarding the monthly (recommended) battery full charge.  Should I let the battery completely die down to nothing at all or would this be bad for my iPad?

    I have just got my iPad2 and am very pleased with it. I have a question regarding the monthly (recommended) battery full charge.  Should I let the battery completely die down to nothing at all before I plug in to recharge or would this complete drain be bad for my iPad?

    It's not bad for it - on this page www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html it says :
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

  • Questions regarding upgrade OEM repository db from 10.1.0.4 to 10.2.0.1 in

    Hi All,
    Since we installed 10g grid control in window 2003 server the oms and agent have been upgraded to 10.2.0.5 see below:
    D:\Oracle\Ora10g_GC\agent10g\BIN>emctl status agent

    The repository db (in the same server) stayed in 10.1.0.4 so we were trying to upgrade this db. The following is the step we did:

    2)     Configured listener from this new database using port 1522
    3)     Ran pre upgrade util: utlu102i.sql

    I have another question:
    Since repository is now in a new home and the new listener is also use a different port the targets.xml file under agent home is not correct any more. So I used "agentca -d -f" to recreat targets.xml file. After it finishes I looked inside the targets.xml file it still use old repository home and old port number. Do I need to do anything before run agentca?
    Thanks a lot for your help,

  • Question regarding Inrefaces:Please GUIDE.

    A question regarding INTERFACES.
    'Each interface definition constitutes a new type.
    As a result, a reference to any object instantiated from any class
    that implements a given interface can be treated as the type of
    the interface'.
    So :
    interface I{}
    class A implements I{
    }Now,class A is of type I.Right?
    Now,if class A implements more than one interface,then what
    is the actual type of A?
    For example:
    interface I{}
    interface R{}
    class B implements I,R{
    }What is now B's type? I or R? or both?

    >
    The class (that implements the interface) actually
    defines the behavior, and the interface just serves as
    a contract for that behaviorYes.
    - a view.Call it that if you want, but it being "a view" doesn't take away is-a-ness.
    IMHO, the 'types' are the classes, which qualify for
    the 'is a' relationshipAs yawmark points out, your use of "type" is not consistent with the JLS. Regardless of how you want to define type, the face it that it makes sense to say "A LinkedList is a List" and "A String is (a) Comparable" etc. Additionally, the way I've always seen the is-a relationship described, and the way that makes the most sense to me, is that "A is-a B" means "A can be used where B is expected." In this respect, superclasses and implemented interfaces are no different.
    (which is what the words "extends" and "implements"
    strongly suggest)"Foo extends Bar" in plain English doesn't suggest to me that Foo is a Bar, but quite clearly, in the context of Java's OO model, it means precisely that.
    "Foo implements Bar" in plain English doesn't suggest much to me. Maybe that Foo provides the implementation specified in Bar, and therefore can be used where a Bar is required, which is exactly what implements means in Java and which, as far as I can tell, is the core of what the is-a relationship is supposed to be about in general OO.

  • Please help me regarding role upload ?

    Hi All,
       installed CRM business package in portal. took CUA as user base. now assigning of users to roles is a concern for me.
    i.e. CRM 4.0 and BW 3.5 already comes with some predefined roles for portal, for ex : PCCCAMPAIGNMANAGER*
    I assigned an user X in CRM and BW system and I want the same user assignment to be used in portal. so I used "Role upload". i.e. I uploaded CRM user to role assignments to Portal, so I got that under migrated content --> sap component systems --> name of crm system --> under that my role (PCCCAMPAIGNMANAGER).
    Now I added the portal role com.sap.***.CampaignManager (portal specific) to this role by "Add role to role". so now when the user logs in, he will be able to see the worksets assigned.
    please note that we didnt do any user to role assignments in portal.
    so all the users assigned to this role in crm and doing manual "role upload" can login into portal and view the worksets. 
    portal role consists of iviews from both crm and bw. but now we just had the users assigned to role in crm mapped to role in portal, but what about bw iviews?
    i.e. what happens when i assign user x,y,z for this role in CRM and only users x,y in BW, so in portal x,y,z will be assigned to the respective role as we took only crm-portal user to role assignments. then the user Z will get an error obiviously for bw iviews, so how to ensure that CRM and BW roles are in sync with roles in portal.
    is there some concept of role mapping or something like that to solve my problem?
    sorry if my question is not clear, but hope that you can help me in this regard
    Thank you

    could some one please help me regarding this..

  • Question Regarding MIDI and Sample Accuracy

    Hi,
    I have 2 questions regarding MIDI.
    1. MIDI is moved by ticks. In the arrange window however, you can move a region by samples. When doing this, you can move within values of the ticks (which you can see on your position box that pops up) Now, will this MIDI note actually be played back at that specific sample point, or will it round the event to the closest tick? (example, if I have a MIDI note directly on 1.1.1.1, and I move the REGION in the arrange... will that MIDI note now fall on the sample that I have moved the region to, or will it be rounded to the closest tick?)
    2. When making a midi template from an audio region, will the MIDI information land exactly on the sample of the transient, or will it be rounded to the closest tick?
    I've looked through the manual, and couldn't find any specific answer to these questions.
    Thanks!
    Message was edited by: Matthew Usnick

    Ok, I've done some experimenting, and here are my results.
    I believe those numbers ARE samples. I came to this conclusion by counting (for some reason it starts on 11) and cutting a region to be 33 samples long (so, minus 11, is 22 actual samples). I then went to the Audio Bin window, and chose to view region length as samples. And there it said it: 22 samples. So, you can in fact move MIDI regions by samples!
    Second, I wanted to see if the MIDI notes in the region itself would be quantized to the nearest tick. I cut a piece of audio, so it had a 1 sample attack (zoomed in asa far as I could in the sample editor, selected the smallest portion, and faded in, and made the start point, the region start position). I saved the region as a new audio file, and loaded it up in the exs sampler.
    I then made a MIDI region, with and triggered the sample on beat 1 (quantized, on the money). I then went into the arrange window, made a fixed cycle length, and bounced the audio. I then moved the MIDI region by one sample to the right. I did this 22 times (which is the number of samples in a tick, at 120, apparently). After bouncing all of these (cycle position remained fixed, only the MIDI region was moving) I imported all the audio into the arrange on new tracks, and YES!!! The sample start was cascaded by a sample each time!
    SO.
    Not only can you move MIDI regions by sample, but the positions are NOT quantized to Logics ticks!
    This is very good news, and glad I worked this out!
    (if anyone thinks this sounds wrong, please correct me, but I'm pretty sure I proved it, in my test)

  • Question regarding Dashboard and column prompt

    My question regarding Dashboard and column prompt:
    1) Dashboard prompt usually work with only for columns which are in subject area. In my report I've created some of the columns which are based on other columns. Like I've daysNumber column that is based on two other columns, as it calculates the difference of two dates. When I create dashboard prompt I can't find this column there. I need to make a prompt on this column.
    2)For one of the column I've only two values 1 and 0. When I create prompt for this column, is it possible that in drop down list It shows 'Yes' for 1 and 'No' for 0 and still filter the request??

    Hi Toony,...
    I think there was another way of doing this...
    In the dashboard prompt go to Show option > select SQL Results from dropdown.
    There you need to write your Logical SQL like...
    SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN PERIODS.YEAR ELSE difference of date functionality END FROM SubjectAreaName
    Here.. Periods.Year is the column which is already exists in repository's presentation layer..
    and difference of date functionality is the code or formula of column which you want to show in drop-down...
    Also write the CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN PERIODS.YEAR ELSE difference of date functionality END code in fx of that prompt.
    I think it helps you in doing this..
    Just check and inform me if it works...
