OutlineLoad utility for Classic Planning v11.1.2

Hi All,
I am using OutlineLoad.cmd utility to build dimensions for classic planning applications in v11.1.2. The utility works fine and loads dimension on my sandbox environment.
I need to load the dimensions to client's planning application. I used the following syntax to build dimension for application on client planning server, but it fails with an error message. I am able to ping the planning server successfully from my server, but cannot connect to the application using Outlineload utility.
Syntax
D:\ORCL\MW\user_projects\epmsystem1\Planning\planning1>OutlineLoad.cmd /S:<server> /A:PLANTEST /U:<username> /M /N /I:c:\Entity.csv /D:Entity /L:c:/outlineload.log /X:c:/outlineload.exc
Error
Unable to login to application "PLANTEST": The application PLANTEST is invalid.
[Tue Jan 11 12:31:10 CST 2011]Unable to obtain dimension information and/or perf
orm a data load: The application PLANTEST is invalid.
Please advise.
Any inputs will be helpful.
Thanks,
DV

Have you tried to log in through the web first to see if the user you use has admin access to the app?
Also try with the native "admin" user, might help.
Cheers,
Abhishek

  • Support for Classic planning applications

    Hi,
    We have developed planning applicaiton using classic. Our client says that the support for classic planning applications will be withheld by oracle and so they want us to convert the classic to EPMA. Is it true that the support will be withheld?
    Also it is not possible to load metadata to EPMA applications using Outlineload utility. Am i right?

    Regards,
    Ragav.I have never heard that mentioned by anybody, there are many classic applications out there that use outline loader, ODI, DIM to manage the planning applications metadata.
    No you can't use the outline loader for EPMA, but there is a command line utility :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_batch_user/launch.html

    Looks like its sequence issue. Can you check if HSP_ACTION_ID_SEQ sequence is available for this planning application.

  • Is ther any specific utility for creating planning application automaticall

    Hi,
    Do we some utility for creation of Hyperion planning application with min parameters that we used to create using app wizard?
    I mean if we have the utility then we can schedule a script and run the script for creation of application.
    Later we can develop this with metadata loading with any automation tools like HAL etc.........
    Please let me know if we have some thing like that?
    Regards
    Venkat G

    Urgh, it's killing me to write this, but wouldn't EPMA do what you want? Not automated exactly, but if I were in the business of quickly spinning of multiple Planning apps that maybe use some common hierarchies, that's a product I might look at.
    Having said that, in the real world I'd probably look at ODI, especially now that it can drive all dimensions.
    How many applications and how often do you think you're going to create them? Deletes? Why?
    You will put the lie to the "3 to 6 months to implement a Planning app" when you finally get it all working. 3 to 6 minutes? :)

  • Smart List issue ; Classic Hyperion Planning v11.1.2.1

    All,
    I am currently working on classic planning v11.1.2.1 (don't ask why).
    We have created a couple of smart lists, which we're using with a level 0 member.
    THe smart lists do not appear on the cells in the forms.
    I encountered similar issues with another planning applications metadata managed using EPMA.
    I tweaked the evaluation order of the dimensions, and refreshed the app, after which the Smart list started working.
    But when I did the same with this cube, it does not work, there are 3 planning cubes and I changed the evaluation order on one of the cubes to which the form is connecting to.
    The properties of the member are as below:
    Data Storage : Never Share
    Plan Type : Capital (+)
    Data Type : SmartList
    We are not using any of the pre-built Planning modules.
    Can anyone tell me what the issue may be?
    Thanks,
    ANindyo

    Hi
    This problem is linked to you not having a consistent setting for your date input type.
    So, go to application administration and set the date format to MM/DD/YYYY in application settings and display options, under current application defaults. Then after you have done this as a user go to User Preferences and display options and on the date format select the same. Or remove the Automatically detect.
    I have seen this behaviour if you have Automatically Detect on the user preferences
    Thanks

  • Classic Planning applications vs PMA Applications

    Hello Experts,
    "For Classic Planning applications, databases are created and maintained within Planning. For
    Performance Management Architect applications, applications are created in Performance
    Management Architect and deployed to Planning."
    Can anyone explain me, what is better to install --> Classic Planning Application or Performance Management Architect Application? Which is easier to work, what are the advantages and disadvantages? I´ve planned to install Planning 11.1.1.3.
    Thanks a lot!

    Here is my 2 cents.
    I just did EPMA and was told by many that they aren't using it or haven't used it so didn't have much back up.
    But I have to tell you I like EPMA much better that Classic planning once you get the hang of it. Also this is where Oracle is going with the product you might as well jump on the band wagon sooner rather than later (ie get used to Classic Planning then having to make the switch).
    I find that Classic Planning requires a lot of clicks to get some stuff done and is a bit more streamline in EPMA.
    That said EPMA still needs a lot of work. For example your Alias are kind of hidden in Dimension mode. Where I would rather the default be visible instead of having to go to alias and hit F2 to see 1 or all of them.
    One of the biggest reasons I like EPMA is Calc Manager. Business Rules sucks if you have to do a lot of calc (way way too many clicks). So as soon as I saw the power of Calc Manager I will never go back to Classic planning and business rules.
    Still EPMA is where things are going so you should go there first unless you find a bug then fall back to classic.
    One approach people have done though is to create the environment in classic planning and migrate it to EPMA. But if you don't know classic just load direct to EPMA in my opinion.
    Let's see what others say.

    In my opinion I don't like the CopyApp utility and it has been dropped anyway in version 11, some people have had success with it so it is just my opinion but you may have a good experience with it.
    You should give it a trial and see if it is good for you, It doesn't copy business rules
    Also are you happy with this post? :- migrate planning application without migrating Provisioning information

  • Metadata from epma Planning application to classic Planning application?

    Hi!
    I am creating a new classic planning application, but I would like to use all the metadata from existing epma application.
    I'm wondering whether it is possible to get metadata from an  existing epma planning application to a classic application? Is this possible using LCM?
    Or do I just need to get an ads file from the epma planning application and then create a csv file that I would then  load into this new classic app using for example OutlineLoad utility.
    edit: version 11.1.2.2
    kind regards,
    user637777

    You should be able to export the metadata from the planning application using LCM, you could also see if the outlineload utility will let you export, can't remember if it allows it even if it is EPMA enabled.

  • OutlineLoad utility not loading data

    Hello,
    I am loading data into Workforce Planning 11.1.2.1 with OutlineLoad utility (In "Administration>Data Load Settings" Data Load Dimension is "Employee", Driver Dimension is "Account" with loaded account members listed).
    I load accounts of "Date" data type which are in "yyyymmdd" format in my CSV file - so these accounts are not loaded.
    I will be very grateful for any hints on how to resolve my issues!
    Thank you!
    Edited by: Jedi Knight on Sep 20, 2012 2:21 PM

    I am not sure which patch version you are running but from 11.1.2.1.102 there was an additional parameter available for when loading date type members.
    "The date format setting for accounts of type “Date” was not always respected in the Outline Load Utility. This patch resolves this issue. It also enables youto override the date format defined in the ‘Attribute Date Format’ setting in the ‘Application Settings’ dialog using the new “/DF” parameters:
    · /DF:MM-DD-YYY
    The date data type values on a data load are assumed to be month-day-year. For example, 12-23-2011
    · /DF:DD-MM-YYYY
    The date data type values on a data load are assumed to be day-month-year. For example, 23-12-2011
    · /DF:YYYY-MM-DD
    The date data type values on a data load are assumed to be year-month-day. For example, 2011-12-23
    This is a sample .csv file and command parameters:
    Value,Driver Member,Data Load Cube Name, Point-of-View
    12-22-2011,aDate,Plan1,"e1,Local,Jan, Current, BU Version_1, FY11"
    OutlineLoad /A:<app name> /U:<admin user name> /DF:MM-DD-YYYY /I:c:\<.csv file name> /TR /L:c:/ outlineLoad.log /X:c:/outlineLoad.exc"

  • Loading large "smartlist" to Classic Planning 11.1.1.2

    Hi,
    Anyone know a quick way to load large smartlists to Planning in version 11.1.1.2? The outlineload utility does not support smartlists in v11.1.1.2 :(
    Thanks

    How about LCM? if you run an export then update the xml then import back in, though it should definitely worth considering upgrading or even applying the maintenance release.

  • Getting error while trying to open the web forms in classic planning app

    hello,
    I am new to OTN forum. can someone please help me to resolve my issue in classic planning application.
    i have created two web forms in classic planning . but while i am trying to open the web forms ,its showing the error like
    the" data form Report1(Report name) is invalid. Check log for details.
    i have checked the log file also but was not able to understand the errors.
    Before this i have tried lots of things to make this issue fixed like updated JVM size then in task manager i have checked the memory usages for process .
    but these were not helpful to solve.
    Kindly anyone suggest me the solution.......

    It is probably worth refreshing the metadata to see if that fixes the problem; error message might indicate that the form has members on that have not yet been passed to Essbase.
    You dont give the version you are using, but for v11.1.2.1 you do this through Workspace, menu options Administration/Application/Refresh Database - tick Database and Refresh. Its advised that you back up your Outline and data before refreshing.
    Hope this helps.

  • Questions about OutLineLoad utility (metadata)

    Hi!
    I need to check out whether it matters if csv load file has column header like " Plan1" or should it be like "Plan Type (Plan1)". Another example could be "Aggregation Plan1" vs "Aggregation (Plan1)"?
    Do this kind of things reject metadata loading to a custom defined dimension like "Product"?
    Does the location of OutLineLoad utility matter when running the utility from the command prompt? Usually the OutlineLoad utility can be found in the Planning/bin folder, but in this case the utility is stored into other folder in Planning server (version 11.1.2 ??/quite new version).
    When trying to run the utility I ran into error message like:
    “Unable to obtain dimension information and/or perform a data load: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/dms/context/ExecutionContext”
    Any idea what does this mean? Is it due to csv file column header errors or does it refer to something else?
    I would be grateful for your help.
    kind regards,
    user637777

    The column header should be "Plan Type (Plan1)" and "Aggregation (Plan1)"
    What I suggest is starting out with a simple load file maybe with just Parent and member e.g. Parent,Account
    And then one record of data.
    A example of the location to run the utility from is :- <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>\user_projects\epmsystem1\Planning\planning1

  • Buying a new laptop purely for Hyperion Planning (Self study @ home)

    Hi Guys,
    I am going to buy a laptop/desktop which I am going to dedicate purely towards learning Planning v11 (1 user at home :D ).
    I don't want to buy a desktop because laptop is more convinient. I was thinking of getting one of the Alienware laptops with the following specs :
    Intel® Core™ i7 Processor 870 (2.93GHz, 8MB)
    Windows® 7 Home Premium 64bit- English
    12GB RAM (2x4096 + 2x2GB) 1333MHz DDR3 Dual Channel Memory
    320GB Serial ATA (7200RPM) Hard Drive edit
    1GB ATI® Radeon™ HD 5450 graphics card
    DVD +/- RW Drive
    I plan to install all EPM suite onto this, is this good enough specs or do I need to add anything more as in more RAM, different OS ? I would also be installing Oracle 11 onto this as well. I will then have my Excel whereas Ill have the smartview/add in to work on it. You could call this both server/client machine.
    I chose Alienware as I though they are a good build. If anyone feels that there can be other brands, please let me know. I know maybe I am spending a bit too much but I tend to be a bit serious about my learning.
    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Have you thought about going to the cloud?
    As TimG pointed out above, I went down your path thinking I could install and run 11.1.2 in a VM on a 8 GB machine (Windows 2008 64 bit OS on that VM). Nope. The services start up, but the machine is completely unusable. I even tried installing on bare metal on a swap out hard drive to get rid of the VM overhead. Alas, it still wasn't sufficient -- I have to be able to click on something and not watch the hard drive LED go a solid blue for 3 minutes. Arrgh. It is possible that Oracle didn't design 11.1.2 to work on a single laptop. What on earth were they thinking? :)
    I had this touching bit of naivete because I was (and am) successfully running the 11.1.1.3 EPM stack (Essbase, SS, Workspace, EPMA, Calc Manager, Planning, Financial Reports, APS, EAS, and ODI) quite comfortably in a 32 bit Windows 2003 4 GB VM Ware session. I really like the flexibility of a Windows 7 (laptop in my case) host OS to do "normal" things and then multiple VMs to do POCs, use different releases of client software, etc. It's a very productive environment.
    Unfortunately, 8 GB isn't sufficient for the full EPM stack. You can definitely run Essbase, APS, EAS and whatever other client tools you need, e.g., Excel, Dodeca, etc. in 8 GB.
    However, as I needed more than just Essbase and 16 GB laptops get excitingly expensive, I ended up going down the cloud computing path. You can tap into as much RAM and CPU as required and the learning curve isn't very steep. It's definitely not as convenient as VM Ware, but it's pretty close. As I am an installation idiot, I went with a company called Full360.com (no, I don't work for them) who provide a EPM 11.1.2 Amazon Machine Image that you can fire up at will, create private copies of, attach 1 terabyte hard drives to, etc., etc. It's like a server room in the sky. Of course this all isn't free, but if you read my blog's analysis, you'll see that it's equivalent to buying a new mid range laptop every three years.
    Re that last point -- I was really tempted to just go ahead and buy that 16 GB laptop (Lenovo has one that is "reasonably" priced as opposed to Dell's highway robbery -- it's all down to the RAM slots and the price of 8 GB DIMMs-- Lenovo has four, Dell has two) but realized that while 11.1.2 might run, today, in 16 GB who knows what 11.2 or 12.1 or whatever might require. I am out of the business of sizing a laptop -- if Oracle EPM 14.5 requires 32 GB of server -- I've got it thanks to Amazon Cloud Computing (no, I don't work for them either).
    There are other cloud options out there: GoGrid, Rackspace, and even Oracle itself not to mention all of the consulting companies that offer hosted environments. I don't think, however, that the Oracle/consulting company products are for individuals to learn on -- the Full360 product is.
    I'm going to have another blog (I literally have five being written in parallel -- I am in blog thrash mode) post up soon detailing the real world challenges I've encountered using EPM in the cloud and there are still some issues like security that I don't fully understand (to say that infrastructure is not my thing is to be kind), but all in all, I'm quite happy with the path that I've taken.
    If you have any questions, feel free to ping me on LinkedIn or on this thread.
    Regards,
    Cameron Lackpour
    P.S. This has got to be the longest OTN reply I have ever posted.
    P.P.S. I will copresent (along with Full360) on EPM in the cloud at ODTUG's Kaleidoscope 2011 conference in Long Beach, CA in June of next year. I will be a veteran user of the product by then and should "have all the answers" at that point.

  • Which approach is better-  EPMA vs Classic Planning App

    Hi Experts,
    I question came to me after a big discussion with one of my vendor.
    my organization is in process of migrating the V9(9.1.3) environment to EPMV11(11.1.2.1).
    Currently we have 4 Classic planning application but we are interested to leverage the EPMA feature of V11 by converting them to EPMA application as they shared some of the dimensions among themself but the vendor who is going to work on that is advising us to keep it in Classic as there is a news of sunsetting EPMA by Oracle to pramote DRM into market. just surprised me that so wanted to know the truthness of the statement.
    appreciate your comments.
    Regards,
    PK

    There seems to be lots of rumours floating around about EPMA, how much is true I think you will just have to wait and see, I have my own personal view on the product which I will keep to myself :)
    I suppose the decision to switch is to see how much benefit you will get by switching, if you are happy and that moment and everything is working well then I would question why to switch, if you will get much more functionality and benefits then consider it.
    Cheers
