Write back to tape

I have several video files that I captured from a MiniDV camcorder using iMovie. I know have lost the tape and would like to write these files back to a MiniDV tape. Can someone outline step by step what I do to achieve this in FinalCut Express (or iMovie if it would be easier). If possible, I would like to maintain the date after writing back to tape (e.g. so I can watch on the camcorder and the date is proper). All of the files are saved as "[date of recording].dv" inside the "iMovie Events" folder. Any help would be GREAT!!!

Not a big deal regarding the date. I anticipated that it would be lost. How do I go about writing back to tape (e.g. is there a step by step guide somewhere that I haven't been able to find). I keep getting the following error:
Could not find an HDV camera or deck.
Please connect an HDV camera or deck to your Macintosh and put in "play" mode.
I am not trying to write back HDV video, nor is the video that has been captured HDV. (all shot on a cheap Sony DCR-HC28 - in both regular and Widescreen)
Thanks for the help!

Recording back to tape

I was just wondering if someone can point me to some instructions on how to write a previously "captured" MiniDV tape back to a MiniDV tape. I imported them all into iMovie '08, as that was where I was doing my editing. I made the mistake of taping over the original MiniDV tape. I would now like to re-write all of my "clips" back to a MiniDV tape so I have a backu. All of the clips are timestamped; however, when I write them back to tape using the "print to tape" feature of FinalCutExpress 4, I lose all of the dates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure you lose the dates ? I know for sure that you lose the original timecode (each recording starts from 0, whatever is the original timecode of the clip), but I thought date and time were preserved even if not visible in FCE. Never checked dates myself though.
Have you tried with iMovie ? but probably going back to iMovie from FCE for this purpose is no longer an option for you.

10g Write back works for some users, not others

Dear Gurus,
I have a strange problem with the Write Back in my system. We use Write-back pretty extensively and have maybe 10-20 separate reports, updating a number of tables.
We have been using this system for almost a year with no problems - Myself (logging in as Administrator) and a member of the Business team, logging in as herself (a member of the Presentation Server Administrator Group).
We now require two more Business power-users to use our Write-back reports. I have added them to the Presentation Server Administrator group. However, when they try to enter values into ANY of the write-back reports, they get the following error;
An error occurred while writing to the server. Please check to make sure you have entered appropriate values. If the problem persists...
*State: HY000. Code 10058 [NQODBC]... A general error has occurred. [nQSERROR 27024] The EXECUTE PHYSICAL statement must specify a physical SQL statement to execute (HY000)*
SQL issued: EXECUTE PHYSICAL CONNECTION POOL "GL Oracle Data Warehouse Connection Pool"
I do not understand why the write back is working without error for my own user, the Admin user and a member of the business team who is in the Presentation Server Administrator group, but not for two new additions to that group.
I have checked that the Presentation Server Admin group is granted on the "Enable/Manage Write Back" privilege and on the Execute SQL privilege.
Any ideas what else I could check?
Thanks,
A.

Hey Amith,
Thanks for your quick reply! Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case. The system is pretty much wide open, apart from the Write pack privilege, which only the Presentation Server Administrator group has access to.
I'm having another of my Presentation Server Administrators who has been in the group forever try to use the write back.
There's no specific connection pool or database level permissions for write back, is there? And there's no specific permissions which need to be set on the xml template files?
Thanks,
A.

FDMEE - Write back - No Data and No Errors

I am trying to Write Back from Planning 11.1.2.3.500 to EBS R12 using FDMEE 11.1.2.3.530. There is data in Planning, and when I execute an Import it processes successfully, but the Transform Data Process step has a warning symbol and there is no data in the grid in the Write Back Workbnch.

I execute Import from Source, and it process for several minutes, and then nothing is in the Workbench.
There is data in Planning as far as I can see, and with no errors I am at a loss on what to investigate.
Can anyone assist?
Thanks,

Do you have any luck if you simplify the source filter to try and be as specific as possible and only bring in as few rows as possible from a known good intersection as a sanity check?

Error While performing Budget Write Back using ERPi

Hi,
We are getting the following error while Importing the data for Budget Write back using ERPi.
"va.lang.Exception: Cannot get the olap server name for planning application GSECPLAN

The Write-back was working fine and we have done the write back successfully few days back. We have not made any changes in write back set up except some mapping.
Any clue on this issue?
Thanks & Regards,

Thanks John for your response.
I have already restarted the planning service and checked. But no luck.

Sunil.

Write Back Error in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.150120

Hello everybody,
i have a problem with the writeback capabilities of OBIEE 11.1.1.7.150120.
After the Migration from 10g to 11g i would like to customize the write back in 11g. I go like Oracle BI Practice: OBIEE 11g Configure Writeback this, but getting an OBIEE error:
"Write Back Error
An error occurred while writing to the server. Please check to make sure you have entered appropriate values. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."
The table does not have any constraint. I would like to insert for example the value "2".
In my table properties i fill in "filling".
My ...\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\analyticsRes\customMessages\writeback.xml looks like that:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="filling">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="Connection Pool">
<insert> </insert>
<update>update analyticmodel.last_runtimes set laru_exec = @1, laru_runtime_start = sysdate </update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
<WebMessage name="machine_filling">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="Connection Pool">
<insert> </insert>
<update>update analyticmodel.machine_filling set mf_mach_id = @{c0}</update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
Thank you very much
Best regards
Christian

Hi Cristian,
You must use '' at script when call some column value. (use '@1' instead of @1)
Tip.. note you can use your "WebMessage Name" (from your script, like "filling", "machine_filing") into your analisys.
Hope this help

WRITE BACK IN OBIEE 11g

Hi ,
Colud you please clearify the error "The system not able to read the WRITE BACK template.Please contact your system Administrator.
for that, I folled this Document.
http://rajeshthomas.blogspot.in/2012/08/writeback-analysis-in-obiee-11g-part-1.html
Regards,
Akurathi

hi,
check the writeback xml code,there might be some syntactical errors and column numbers in the insert/update statements.You should check the enable writeback check box for all the columns which you used in the writeback template.
mark if helpful/correct..
thanks,

OBIEE 11g write back to Essbase and run calc script feature

Hi,
I have a requirement to write back into Essbase Cube and run calc script from OBIEE dashboard.
From what i have search on google, we must deploy additional Java Script into weblogic, but that is before OBIEE 11.1.1.6.
I have 2 question:
- Does OBIEE 11.1.1.6 already supported native write-back to Essbase and running calcscript?
- Anyone has example of the custom java-script for write back and running calcscript?
And another, if there are requirement like this, is it better to install Essbase Add-in on Microsoft Excel and do the what-if analysis there, then just display the report on OBIEE dashboard? (based on user-friendliness and the complexity on maintenance)
Thanks in advance.

Even I am trying to achieve the same thing as you have mentioned but think that it is not possible to achieve easily in obiee 11.1.1.6, though we do have a work around to perform a writeback in Essbase cube using JAPI as mentioned below.
Also we can call Hyperion reports from OBIEE using Action Links and also pass parameters to the same but dont know if it runs calculation script.
Below link could be useful for you for write back workaround.

Let me know in case you have found out anything else related to same.
Thanks,

Update only the row in DB where the cursor are positioned using Write Back

Hello,
I need to have the possibility to create/change values (insert or update data back into the database), dynamically or by typing, in some columns of the physical DB that are mapped in a report request, and that new or changed values could be used as a filter columns in another report request.
So, I have created a new report request in a Subject Area where a certain column of the request result could be editable to make possible change the present value and then write it back in the physical DB.
I have implemented for the column name ‘MOV_VALUE’ the value interaction type format Write Back, and every time I changed any value on this column it updates all rows with this same value from the table ‘MOVEMENTS’.
See below the Template file used in the Write Back table properties:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name= "UpdateMovementData">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="Connection Pool">
<insert> </insert>
<update> UPDATE MOVEMENTS SET MOV_VALUE=@{c4} </update>

</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
Is there any possibility to only update the record from where it is the cursor positioned by using the Write Back in the Answers report?
Is necessary to create any condition to the where clause for the update statement? Which conditions?
Thanks in advance.

Pedro Resende

You might try posting to a BPM forum. BPM is a layered product that happens to use WL JMS, but I think most of the folks on this forum aren't familiar with BPM.

Write Back Capability in Essbase

Dear All,
I read some where BSO has a direct write-back capability which is not possible in ASO, correct me if i'm wrong. Now my doubt is What is write back capability.

'Write-back' refers to the ability of end-users to send values directly to the cube from a combined read / write interface such as the Essbase Excel Add-In, Smart View, Dodeca, Planning etc. A user can look at a value retrieved from the cube, decide for whatever reason that he or she wishes to change it, enter a new value and 'write it back'.
This is in contrast to data loaded (usually as part of a batch process) from an external system.
ASO is one of the two data storage mechanisms available in Essbase - it stands for 'Aggregate Storage Option'. As John said, write back to ASO cubes is only possible at 'level zero', and this feature was not introduced until version 9.3.1. If you aren't clear what 'level zero' means, I suggest reading this section of the Database Administrator's Guide: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_dbag/frameset.htm?dinconc.html

<update>UPDATE Users SET Default Password=@{C1} WHERE (UserName ='@{C0}' AND Group Name='@{C2}')</update>
</WriteBack>
</XML>

Write back in OBIEE 11g : unable to check "enable write back"

Hi all!
I have a table on presentation, i want to make a table in analysis with function "Write back". But in criteria, when i choose "column properties" --> "write back" tab --> i can not check "Enable write back". I have granted privileges "write back" to user
Please tell me how to configure to make it.
Thanks so much.

Guys,
In OBIEE 11g You need to make sure that you mark the logical columns in your Repository RPD as "Writeable". Otherwise the ability to write to these columns is not allowed for WriteBack functionality.
Cheers,

OBIEE 11G Write Back Error

Hi All:
I am testing the OBIEE 11G write back function. After all the steps , there's an Error message said "Write back Error" . No other detail information. Do you have any idea about where's the problem of it?
My xml file was under the folder of 'C:\OBIEE11\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\msgdb'. and the detail is as below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="write_back_test">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="Connection Pool">
<insert> </insert> <update>FACT_Writeback set MAX_LY2 = '@{c1}' where PERIOD_KEY = '@{c0}'
</update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
Really Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I think these is a problem with your connection pool name, please check it. It's a name of connection pool in BI administrator.
if it's not problem, Can you try my way, replace '@{c1}', '@{c0}' by @1, @2...with 1,2 is a number of column in Criteria.
It's my template :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="SetQuotaUseID">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="WB_CONN">
<insert> </insert>
<update>UPDATE biee_map_revenue SET DIST_CODE=@5 WHERE REV_ID = @1 </update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
