Antivirus uses epma's Dimension library port

Hello,
we just installed a new Antivirus and it seems like the port used by that software interferes with EPMA's Dimension and Application Libraries. These 2 time out wiyth 502 Proxy error when av is running. When i disable the av, both dim and app libraries open up.
Is it possible to change the port for both libraries? I went to the inetmgr, but did not find the location to change. Also, looked in the configuration, but did not see the port, i presume it's port 80 (default).
We are on 11.1.2.1, windows 2003 server. many thanks.

Another possibility is that the 502 (bad gateway) error is thrown as a security precaution because OHS is not configured to correctly proxy to the IIS server where epma is installed. You can get these errors if OHS is configured to proxy to SERVERA:80/hyperion-bpma-server and the server resolves to SERVERA.DOMAIN.COM or if you have the IP address instead of the hostname. The proxy setting can usually be found at the bottom of the httpd.conf file.
You can find more on the 502 error here -> http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E502.html

EPMA Dimension Library - Remove Members

I like to find if there is any way to remove members from EPMA dimension library (using batch client) other than using REPLACE method in import profile definition.
We get delta file from DRM in ADS format i.e the file will only have new members and we need to define process to handle the removed members from DRM. Is there any property or Flag available that can be tagged to remove the member in EPMA?
we decided to go with delta file as we have around 40,000 members and it would be effecient if we use delta file rather than a complete upload everytime the members changes. Please advice if it is good decision to go with delta or we should use complete file.
Thanks
RR

I think with the only option with the batch client is the "Remove Member" command.
Removes a member from the specified dimension but does not delete it. You can only use the Remove Member command to remove a shared dimension in an application.
Remove Member
Properties(DimensionName, ParentName, MemberName)
Values('Account', 'Mem1', ‘Mem2’);

Importing duplicate members for planning appln - EPMA Dimension Library

Hi,
How to import duplicate members while importing dimensions using flat file in EPMA Dimension Library (11.1.2.1).
We have Isprimary column which enables multiple instances of a member as shared members, but how to import duplicate members in EPMA?
From the EPMA Guide:
Specifying Primary and Shared Instances of a Member using IsPrimary
In import files, any two members in the same dimension, with the same name, are always treated
as separate instances of the same member. If a member has multiple instances in a dimension,
the IsPrimary column specifies which instance is primary and which instance(s) are shared. The
IsPrimary column is not required; however, we strongly recommend that you use it. If left
undefined, it defaults to “True”, which assumes that the member is primary. If left undefined,
a warning is displayed in the Import Results file.
Note: Older import files, that do not use the IsPrimary column, can still be run. However, if the
import file does not have the IsPrimary column, it is not possible to create shared members
or move members.
Thanks in advance.

As you are talking about a planning application then duplicate members are not supported but Shared members are.
Cheers

Duplicate members in EPMA dimension library

Hi,
There are two instances of many members in Account dimension in EPMA dimension library in UAT environment. I am trying to migrate the Account dimension to Dev using LCM. When i do the LCM import, all the second instances are getting imported as shared members and the import fails as the children are orphaned. However there are no errors in UAT when i validate the application. The hierarchies of two instances are associated to different planning applications.
The error is
The 'Member' section contains a duplicate entry; the subsequent input line 'NB AWP|Revenue||||||None|Currency||False|False|False|False|N|False|||False|False|N|Default|0|0|Default|None||Plan2|1|Balance|False|Numeric|||||False|NonExpense|False||' will not be processed.
Is there a way to import the dimension as it is in the UAT environment?
Regards,
Ragav.

Export Dimensions using EPMA Batch Client

HI,
Does anyone know if there is a way to export the dimensions from EPMA using a command line tool like the EPMA Batch Client. I have gone through the guide and there are commands to import the dimensions but none to export them from EPMA. We are on EPM 11.1.2.1 version and all our apps are using EPMA with planning so unfortunately i cannot use the planning outline extractor tool either. Thanks

You can use LCM to export a hierarchy, and that can be scripted LCM batch utility. Create a migration to the file system with LCM. Select the hierarchies you want to export. When you get to the point where it asks you to execute the migration, there is also an option to save an XML file with the options you selected. You can use that xml file with the utility. Details are found at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_lifecycle_management/frameset.htm?launch.htm.
The exports are in the import/export folder under the ID of the person executing the migration. The folder/files can be copies anywhere.

Unable to add new dimemsion members to empty dimension library

Hi All,
I'm installing a development version of HFM 9.3.1 onto Windows Server 2003. Everything seems to have gone OK after carefully following the installation guidelines. The problem i'm getting is not being able to create a new dimension member in an empty (new) system. I can navigate to the Dimension Library (Master View) from Workspace fine using
http://<servername>:19000/workspace/
But when I select "File" from the main menu the "new" option is missing.
If I access EPMA directly via
http://<servername>:19091/awb/
I can navigate to the Dimension Library again but this time I get a File and New option but with an empty list of options.
If my understanding is correct I should get the same problem regardless of how I access the application but that aside. I'm fairly sure the problem relates to the same underlying problem. I have also noted that within Shared Services only the BIPLUS project appears. I would have thought a project for HFM or EPMA would also be showing for provisioning. A registration / security issue maybe. I have rerun the registration process with Shared Services a number of times to no avail.
I'd love to be able to link/copypaste some error messages or configuration logs but other than not be able to use the application i'm not getting any errors generated that I'm aware of.
Any suggestions will be very welcome.
Yours
ColinL

Hi All,
Very embarassing but I seem to have answered myself above. It turns out that the server "administrator" id I was using had not been given General Roles, specifically Dimension Editor etc. Role was added using provisioning in shared services / user management. All working fine. For anyone else stumbling, as I did, across this problem the solution will require logging into shared services using the generic admin account created during shared services installation. Your system administrator needs to be given global roles and possibly provisioning roles. Obviously in a "live" situation it may not always be desirable to grant "system administrators" full access to all modules.
Kind regards
Colin

Error when trying to access Application Library or Dimension Library

I get the following Error Message when I try to open Application Library or Dimension Library from workspace"
"(500)Internal Server Error
Error Code: org.apache.axis.AxisFault"
Workspace Version is 11.1.1.1.0.797
I restarted All EPMA services several times but I continue to get the message.
I searched the Workspace forum but found nothing.
Edited by: user5463146 on Nov 23, 2009 11:12 AM

1. Is the dimension server started? You can find it in services. You need to start the "Process Manager" service.
2. If yes, what is the error in the eventvwr?
3. Are you using .net framework Verison 2?
Try the following:
1. Type inetmgr in Run.
2. In inetmgr, select the hyperion-BPMAserver node (it would be under "Websites"-->Default Website).
3. Select the Sessions.asmx file, right click and browse.
I am sure you would get a "Page cannot be displayed". Ideally you need to see content when you browse.
Check if the default website is started. If not please start it.
Thanks,

EPMA shared dimension Aliases

Hi,
We have a EPMA application where few of our dimensions are shared. Our flat file imports have loaded the aliases to one of the dimesnsions to the shared library and everything is in sync with the application. . But we are not able to see those aliases in data form and when we check the application in dimension library for aliases it shows this message"The Associated Dimension ID has not been set for this property."
Update: the aliases are not deployed in essbase for those members.
please do help us out.
thanks,
Edited by: sj1208 on Jan 8, 2013 1:13 AM

Was able to find the solution from oracle support link.
*Aliases Not Retained When Copying Dimension From Shared Library [ID 1435928.1]*
Use a shared Alias dimension, rather than using a local Alias. If the alias dimension is a shared rather than a local dimension then the dimension member aliases will be retained when you copy a dimension from the Shared Library to an Application Library.
thanks,

The advantage of using EPMA?

now, I know there are many defects to use EPMA if the Planning project is very small. However, what is the advantage of using EPMA, here is what I am thinking: 1. If there are many application and you want to centrally develop everything, EPMA is bettter. 2. EPMA application can use the existing dimensions and template, and easier to develop a new application, besides, the diemsion library makes the dimension reusable Please correct me, thanks!

EPMA is also great for inputting metadata changes incrementally over time, but only truly updating the application once every X amount of time (example once a month, but perform metadata changes every day).
This is a huge benefit because you tightly control changes without effecting the production cube at all, it is a mini development environment unto itself. That is the next best feature around EPMA other than dimension sharing.

Cannot open "Dimension Library" - EPM issue?

Hi Folks,
I recently downloaded and installed/configured Planning 9.3.1 from eDelivery, but I'm not sure if ALL the required EPM Architect components have been properly installed. When I look at Windows Services, I see the following:
Hyperion S9 EPM Architect Engineer Manager
Hyperion S9 EPM Architect Event Manager
Hyperion S9 EPM Architect Job Manager
Hyperion S9 EPM Architect Process Manager
However, I do not see:
Hyperion S9 EPM Architect Data Synchronization ATS5, and
Hyperion S9 EPM Architect Web ATS5
Planning is working correctly in every way, except when I try to open "Dimension Library" or "Application Library" , I get an error saying - "Invalid or could not find module configuration". I get the feeling that this error is being thrown because EPM Architect was either not installed fully or I have not configured it to work correctly. During the installation of Planning I had selected the "Typical" installation.sFyi- I have Essbase 9.3.1 underlying my Planning module.
Would appreciate any guidance on why my EPM Architect is not getting installed properly.
thanks.
Akshay

Hi,
These services should be created when you configure EPMA, they are created as part of the "Deploy to Application Server"
If you run the configuration utility again, Select Oracle Hyperion EPMA.
make sure you have run
Register with Shared Services
Configure Database
Select "Deploy to Application Server"
Make sure deploy as a service is ticked in the option screen.
If you do all that and the services are not there but you can start the servers manually, if you are using tomcat there a couple of scripts to create the services in \Hyperion\deployments\Tomcat5\bin - installServiceEPMADataSynchronizer.bat + installServiceEPMAWebTier.bat
Ok?
Cheers

Want to use the Member in different Application using EPMA in Planning

Hi,
We are using EPM Version 11.1.2.1 and i have created an Accounts Dimension and also members below it using EPMA and now i want to use some of the members which i have created in EPMA under accounts dimenion in one application and other members in second application? How can i achieve this?
Ex: Accounts
A1
A2
A3
A4
I want to use A1 and A2 in one Planning Application and A3 an A4 in Second Planning Application.
Regards,
A.S.

A.S.,
You should create the Accounts Dimension in the Shared Library of EPMA. Then add that dimension to your applications and in the application dimensions pane in the middle, right click on the member or hierarchies you wish to exclude, and choose Exclude Member. Keep in mind that if you do this at the parent level, its descendants will also be excluded. To see the members that are excluded, simply right click on the dimension itself and choose Show Excluded Members.
Also refer to the documentation here for futher details...

Workspace and HFM 9.3.1 - Missing Dimension library

Im new to hfm. Im installing hfm 9.3.1 and trying to laod the sample applications.
Env: xp, Oracle 10g.
I downloaded the sw from oracle edelivery site.
I installed shared services and configured.
I installed workspace(Hyperion Reporting and Analysis s9 service release 9.3.1 - v11207-01 and Hyperion Reporting and Analysis s9 UI service release 9.3.1 - v11223-01) and configured.
Both the above are working fine.
hfm (Hyperion financial mangement - s9 Release 9.3.1 installer v11283-01 and Hyperion financial mangement - s9 Release 9.3.1 software development kit - v11284)
I installed and configured and created an application which Im able to access in web client.
when I try to deploy the sample applications which comes with the installation in hfm,
In workspace - Navigate: I can see and the open the application which i created and working fine.
But Navigate -> Administer -> dimension library is missing (dimension library is missing)
I can see Navigate -> Administer -> application library. But it given an error - Invalid or could not find module configuration.
I think Im missing something, which needs to be installed and configured. Please help.

Hi,
You won't get Dimension Library in 9.3.1. Dimension Library comes with EPMA which is available in 9.3.3 onwards.
