Using HAL to migrate metadata

I have created complex outline in older version of essbase(v6.5.4) and would like to migrate the metadata to Hyperion system9.3 Planning (into the Dimension Library) to avoid all the tedioustyping and property definition. I was told HAL was a good tool todo so but I do not know how to use it. Can anyone tell me where Ican get the documentation for HAL? I am new to this so anysuggestions would be very beneficial to me. Thanks in advance alc

You can use the HAL Planning adapter to load the meta data. The HAL help should document the Planning adapter ports.

Associating member attributes using HAL in Essbase and Planning

Has anyone used HAL 7.0 to associate member attributes using either the Essbase Adapter or Planning Adapter? We are trying to upload the attributes to the members using a flat file but there isn't very good documentation in the HAL user guide regarding this. Any help would be appreciated.ThanksChris

Hi, These db's are recently migrated from back end. Are there any issues with the db's?

Using HAL to build Essbase from Enterprise

Has anyone used HAL to update an Essbase cube with data and metadata from Enterprise. This update would include updating dimensions. I'm looking for a replacement to Enterprise Link as it doesn't work with Enterprise 5.5Thanks,Nate

Our company tried to use HAL to extract data from Enterprise and load into Essbase. We had a Hyeprion consultant spend a week trying to set this up for us. Finally after many frustrating attempts and numerous calls to the Hyperion Help line, the consultant informed us that the Enterprise building block for HAL does not work and we would have to use a work around. To make matters worse, Hyperion then billed our company for the time the consultant spent to find out that there was a problem with the software. As far as I know the problem with the Enterprise building block has not been fixed.

Unable to extract attributes associated with entity dimension using HAL

Hi All,
I am using HAL to extarct an entity dimension (metadata) and its associated attributes.
for attributes I am using ListElements with GetElements.
The HAL integration is working good but it is giving me only the first part of attribute for example
if the attribute is ALLOC:1245 I am getting only ALLOC.
did anyone face similar problem.
Thanks and regards,
Dornakal.

Do you have to use HAL? How about the outline extractor from Applied OLAP?

Using HAL to generate XML files

Greetings, I'd like to use HAL to build XML files and feeding certain variables while these files are generated. When the XML file is done being created, it will contain the variables passed. There are over 500 XML required to be build and for each of these files, only 2 or 3 variables must be passed to them. A template of the xml file was created using the Batch scheduler from Hyperion Reports, and this is the file I'd like to use as a template and build a HAL adapter based on that file. Does any one have a sample of the XML adapter (via screen shot) that I can use a starting guide? Many thanks in advance for your time.

Hi,
I'm running into the same problem deploying the classes generated by the class generator. Code works fine from JDeveloper, but had to put my DTD in the directory where my classes are. Deploying the classes with Apache's JServ gives me a NullPointer exception on the first addNode method. I guess it can't find the DTD. I tried to put the DTD in many locations but this didn't fix the problem. Any suggestions?
Steve,
Did you fix this problem? Thanx!

Creative Cloud Issue After Using Apple's Migration Assistant

I bought a new Mac and used Apple's Migration assistant to transfer everything from the old Mac to the new. Everything works with all apps except Creative Cloud. Creative Cloud states that some files are missing and prompts me to download and install Creative Cloud again. I do that and run the App. The app runs for a minute, acts like it's installing than I get the same error -- Creative Cloud is missing some files or some files are corrupt, please download and reinstall -- it brings me to the webpage to download it again. I'm stuck in this infinite loop!
The old Mac where Creative Cloud runs fine is a 15" Retina Display MacBook Pro. The new Mac is a 27" iMac.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

How to create custom report plugin using child region report metadata

Hi,
I want to ask for help on how to create custom report plugin using child region report metadata. My idea is to create a child region, a classic report and set the condition to never.
Then i will query the child report metadata from apex view and use it to create a custom report like using jquery jq-grid. Any idea how i can create a process that will use the child report
metadata? I dont know how i can create a process just like how apex work, how apex render report, coz i want it to be control using the standard apex report attribute. This plugin will
render according to the child report attribute.
Is there anybody here had ever done this?

Hi Nicolette,
Thanks for the reply. I know where to find the metadata, just asking for idea on how the rendering process will be.
Start from determining column heading, column order until finish rendering the report. The same way how apex
render the classic report.
Previously this imy my rendering process:
FUNCTION GETCOLUMN(P_REGION IN APEX_PLUGIN.T_REGION,
                     P_PLUGIN IN APEX_PLUGIN.T_PLUGIN,
                     P_VALUE IN VARCHAR2) RETURN SYS.DBMS_SQL.DESC_TAB2 IS
    VSQLHANDLER     APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.T_SQL_HANDLER;
    VCOLCOUNT       NUMBER;
    VCOLNAMES       VARCHAR2(2000);
    VAJAXIDENTIFIER VARCHAR2(100);
    VPAGESIZE       TYPEATTR := P_REGION.ATTRIBUTE_04;
    VJSCODE         VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
    VSQLHANDLER := APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.GET_SQL_HANDLER(P_SQL_STATEMENT => 'select * from s_emp',
                                                    P_MIN_COLUMNS    => 1,
                                                    P_MAX_COLUMNS    => 999,
                                                    P_COMPONENT_NAME => P_REGION.ID);
    VCOLCOUNT := VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST.COUNT();
    FOR I IN 1 .. VCOLCOUNT LOOP
      VCOLNAMES := VCOLNAMES || '{name: "' ||
                   UPPER(VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST(I).COL_NAME) || '",';
    END LOOP;
    APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.FREE_SQL_HANDLER(VSQLHANDLER);
    RETURN VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST;
EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
      APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.FREE_SQL_HANDLER(VSQLHANDLER);
      RAISE;
END GETCOLUMN;
So this is how i get the header for my report plugin. The same method is use to get the value / data for each column. This process is work. So now
i want to extend my plugin so that i will use all attributes from the child report to render my plugin. So the column header, column order, all will depend
on the child report. And the column display condition is set, it will also check the condition before render the column. Sounds like i want to reinvent
the normal apex rendering process but this is what i want to achieve.
I need help to find the correct logic for my render process. Don't want too much for starting, just want to render the plugin correctly, same with child report,
same columns alias, column ordering and column conditional display.
Thanks,
akulala

Use of non-migratable database link not allowed in OSB

Use of non-migratable database link not allowed ERROR

Hello,
We have a notification process (on disabled user) in OIM that needs to connect to a schema in another instance to check some information before the notification is sent out.
We have OIM in an instance A and the other schema lives in the instance B. We created a database link from A to B, some synonyms, and grant the right permissions for OIM to select the tables in the schema on instance B.
We can login to OIM using SQL Developer and execute the query without any problems.
However, when the query is executed in the Disable User process task, we got the error:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-24777: use of non-migratable database link not allowed
We tried to create a view in OIM that is similar to the one that lives in the schema in instance B. However, the same error exists.
How can we work around this error?
Thanks

with all the info you have put here all I can say is : (with some help from google ;-) )
ORA-24777: use of non-migratable database link not allowed
Cause: The transaction, which needs to be migratable between sessions, tried to access a remote database from a non-multi threaded server process.
Action: Perform the work in the local database or open a connection to the remote database from the client. If multi threaded server option is installed, connect to the Oracle instance through the dispatcher.

I've gotten past this by creating the dblink as SHARED.
The SQL is
CREATE SHARED DATABASE LINK "yourlink"
CONNECT TO "dbuser" IDENTIFIED BY "dbuserpassword"
AUTHENTICATED BY "dbuser" IDENTIFIED BY "dbuserpassword"
USING 'databasename';
note the quote character use.
You can also use SQL Developer to adjust this.
This does depend on shared database connections between your db's.

Error in Migration Repository using Sql*Developer Migration Workbench

To migrate a MS access mdb database to Oracle using Sql*Developer Migration Workbench, I try to create first the the Migration Repository in SQL*Developer.
The repository is created, but under PACKAGES I could see that package MD_META has been compiled with errors.
PACKAGE BODY AO_PERSONAL.MD_META@DMCAPX (AO_PERSONAL):
Error(27,2): PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
Error(30,23): PL/SQL: ORA-00904: : ungültiger Bezeichner
Well, when I ignore this and continue with the next step of the migration process "Capture Microsoft Access Exported XML file" to create the Captured Model, I get the following error message:
ORA-04063: package body "AO_PERSONAL.MD_META" enthält Fehler ORA-06508: PL/SQL: aufgerufene Programmeinheit : "AO_PERSONAL.MD_META" konnte nicht gefunden werden ORA-06512: in "AO_PERSONAL.MD_PROJECTS_TRG", Zeile 3 ORA-04088: Fehler bei der Ausführung von Trigger 'AO_PERSONAL.MD_PROJECTS_TRG'
Target database RDBMS is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0. So the proposal of note 427916.1 to create the Repository in a 10.2 RDBMS does not solve the problem.
I even tried to use the Quick Migrate feature in SQL*Developer, but got the same error message.

"inserted value too large for column"
Is there a LOGON trigger on the database or user ?
I'd be surprised at SQL Developer trying to insert data into anything on connect.
I'd suspect code being executed by the database, maybe using a MODULE or PROGRAM from v$session or USERENV / SYS_CONTEXT.

Proper use of location in metadata

I'm building my library of images now with LR and want to get started on the right foot. I store on CD. In Metadata "Location" I have entered the CD volume name as a way of identifying where the images are stored. But now I am wondering if the Metadata "Source" under workflow would be a better place to record the CD name such as "2007_03_08b" Can someone point me down the correct path so I don't regret my actions after thousands of images later? Thanks

<blockquote>In Metadata "Location" I have entered the CD volume</blockquote>The IPTC metadata location is intended to store the physical location the shot was taken (as in "Museum", "City Hall", "Home"). It is also recommended to fill out the other location fields (Country, State, City) to make proper use of the Location Metadata Browser. Alexander. -- Canon EOS 400D (aka.

Using Title/Caption In Metadata...

While I love the develop module in LR I would have to say I am finding the library module most difficult to figure out. Presently I am trying to decide the best way to identify images upon import. For instance, I do a great deal of boat photography and would like to label images with the name of the boat upon import. In the metadata panel there is both a Title and Caption entry line and I would guess that the Title line is the best spot to insert the boat name. At the same time it's not at all clear to me what sort of information is meant by the term Caption. Which of the two spots would be best for entering the boat name or other identifying text. Also, if I had a series of shots of the same boat is there a way for me to enter the name once and have it applied to all the selected images.
In the Mom/Pop iPhoto all one had to do is enter the boat name in the comments panel. Is there a simple straight forward equivelent in LR3?
Thanks!

The short answer: I recommend putting the boat name in Caption, not Title.
A longer answer: Industry standards define the use of Title and Caption reasonably precisely, but many tools, communities, and workflows interpret them differently. If you anticipate sharing your photos with others, you might scope out which tools will be used to access the metadata of the photos and how they handle the Title and Caption fields. Take some sample photos, set their Title and Caption in LR, do Save Metadata To File, and then view the file in the other tools.
The IPTC industry standards define Title, Caption/Description, and Headline as:
Title: A shorthand reference for the digital image. Title provides a short human readable name which can be a text and/or numeric reference. It is not the same as Headline. Enter a short verbal and human readable name for the image, this may be the file name. Many use the Title field to store the filename of the image, though the field may be used in many ways. Formal identifiers are provided by the Digital Image Id, or the Registry Entry property of the IPTC Extension.
Caption (Description): A textual description, including captions, of the image. Enter a "caption" describing the who, what, and why of what is happening in this image, this might include names of people, and/or their role in the action that is taking place within the image.
Headline: A brief synopsis of the caption. Headline is not the same as Title. Enter a brief publishable synopsis or summary of the contents of the image
Those standards were originally defined years ago for professional press photographers and later expanded to encompass many different uses. But for better or worse, there exist many tools, communities, and workflows that use those fields in ways different than prescribed by the standards.
For example, when you upload a photo to Flickr, it will populate its Title field from the photo's Title if it exists, otherwise it uses the filename. But many (perhaps most) Flickr users use its Title field as a short caption (e.g. like a Headline), and Flickr's design encourages that.
As another example, Windows Live Photo Gallery will show as its "Caption" the metadata Title if it exists, otherwise the metadata Caption/Description. When you change its "Caption" field, it will write it into both the metadata Title and metadata Caption/Description fields.
So depending on the intended audience and tool set of your photos, you may choose to adjust your use of Title and Caption to better fit in with their way of doing things.

Member formulas using HAL

Hi,
Can anybody help me out with a way......
How to Load UDA's and member formulas using HAL. We are using Planning 3.5 and HAl 7.3.
Thanks in advance

The first planning adapter that I have worked with which supported formula's and UDA's was the 9.2 version -- before 9.2, we were using Planning 4.01 and neither UDA's nor Formula's were supported for loading -- Planning itself didn't allow entry which is probably why the Planning adaptor didn't support this -- try the Essbase HAL adaptor if an upgrade of Planning isn't in your future.
