Audit Reports from Shared Services

I am using HFM 11.1.1.2 and want to pull a Audit Report in shared services. My approach are as follows:
In Shared Services on Application Groups, I select my application and right click and select Audit Report. I get the following error:
Auditing is Disabled and No Records Audited.
How and where do I enable this?
Thanks

You first have to enable Auditing globally in Shared Services. To do this, login to Shared Services, make sure you have the "Shared Services" node highlighted in the pane on the left-hand side and click Administration-->Configure Auditing.

Audit Reports in Shared Services

Hi guys,
Appreciate if someone could help me with the following query.
I have enabled Auditing for a Planning Application from Administration-> Reporting -> Auditing (tab)
However, when I try to 'View Audit Report' in Shared Services for the same application, it says 'Auditing is Disabled and No Records Audited'. Is there something I'm missing out on?
Dear John, it would be great if you could provide your valuable insight on this.
Thanks & Cheers,
Sahil

1.Using Shared Services Administrator credentials, log in to the Shared Services Console.
2.Select Administration, then Configure Auditing.
3.On the Audit Configuration screen:
a.Select Enable Auditing to activate auditing. If this option is not selected, Shared Services does not support auditing at any level. By default, auditing is disabled.
b.Select Allow Global Settings Override to disable application group and application-level auditing. If this option is selected, application group and application-level task selections are discarded in favor of the global selections.
c.Optional: To remove old audit data from the system, in Purge Data Older than, set the number of days for retaining the audit data and click Purge.
d.From Select Tasks, select the tasks for which audit data is to be preserved. Tasks are categorized based on the applications registered with Shared Services.
e.Click OK.
cheers...!!!

Reports in Shared Services 9.2.0.2

I would like to run a report from Shared Services 9.2.0.2 that shows all the users w/ access to our system and what level of access they have. We assign all of our users to groups and the groups are granted access. Our groups are created in the Native Directory and the users are in our NTLM directory. Is there a way to make this happen? I have not been successful in everything I've tried so far.
Thanks.
Terri T.

Ok just thought I'd check. That solution works fine for us but we use MSAD for external authentication. We use native groups for all our provisioning too.
Not sure why the report won't work with NTLM users.
Another solution, which is good because u get your data into excel, is to use the cssimportexport utility to export all the security. Then with some excel machinations you can relate the users to the groups to get the roles for each user. I have done that in the past to build a complete user list by application in excel. I had 50 groups with users and it took less than an hour to put it all together.
Maybe someone else can advise why the report isn't working for you..

Essbase EAS - Refresh Security from Shared Services

Hi All,
Just went live with Essbase. We are using MSAD Groups in Shared Services for our users. I noticed that if we add a new user to a provisioned group, they don't automatically get access to Essbase. I believe I have to select 'Refresh Security From Shared Services' in EAS. I am nervous about doing this with users in the system as I don't want to accidentally boot them out. Is there any risk? Reports stopped? Users forced to logout? Smartview implications?
I feel like I did it before and disrupted some users during development but I am not sure.
Much Appreciated,
Mike

Thx. I just did it and it didn't seem to disrupt anything. I tested with a user with a smartview open, a report running and a WA dashboard on screen. It did mention that after refreshing the essbase server would be disconnected and i would have to reconnect but it didn't actually boot me out or disrupt any process.
I guess it's okay to do on a live production system. ?
Thx,
Mike

Error from EAS - "refreshing security from Shared Services failed"

Hi,
I was using Native only security in HSS for Essbase 11.1.1.3 and EAS allowed me to Refresh security from Shared Services. (Essbase security was already externalized to HSS.)
However, after I added "MS Active Directory", and provisioned a MSAD user to a native Planning group, EAS errors out with "refreshing security from Shared Services failed" .
I checked Essbase security and that MSAD user is not added to Essbase.
From Essbase Log I see:
Essbase failed to get roles list for [ESB:Analytic Servers:servername:1] from Shared Services Server with Error [32:1062:Failed to connect to the user directory [ HSS'sMSADname].
I then tried to remove MSAD from our H Shared Services and see if this problem goes away. However, MSAD still shows on the left panel menu in H Shared Services. How can I get rid of MSAD?
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Are you sure you have removed it from shared services, you may have just disabled it.
You must restart the shared services application server to apply any changes made.

Refresh security from Shared Services fails - System11

Hi All,
WHen refreshing the Essbase security from Shared Services in System 11 we get the following error:
Error 1051522: Essbase failed to get group's member tree with Error [CSS Error: Unknown error: Could not get exception message from exception object]
We see the same error in the Essbase log.
In the Shared Service Security CLient.log we get the following warnings:
2009-03-03 16:12:58,294 WARN [Thread-108] CSS dll either not found in java.library.path or can't be loaded[Root Cause: D:\Hyperion\common\CSS\9.5.0.0\bin\css-9_5_0.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform ] com.hyperion.css.spi.impl.ntlm.NTLMTrustedDomain.<clinit>(Unknown Source)

Has anyone come across this?
Thanks for your help.
Seb

Hi Seb,
I take it you are using NTLM as your external authentication.
The error message means that it can't see css-9_5_0.dll in the path, if you are on windows make sure the path contains <drive>:\Hyperion\common\CSS\9.5.0.0\bin\
If it doesn't update the environment variables, not sure if you need to reboot it may pick it up straight away, you can check by going to a command prompt and running echo %path%
Cheers

How do I remove previous configuration of Essbase Server from Shared Services?

Hi All,
I'm trying to reinstall Essbase Server (on a new server; we've upgraded the Essbase Server hardware) and reload data but the current install believes I've already configured it despite removing EssbaseCluster-1 from Shared Services Application Groups. Is there something else I have to do to get the new install of Essbase Server configured as a new Essbase instance?
Thanks,
Ryan

I did the install as PTH0RC and my inventory.xml is configured correctly, but I get the following message trying to run a simple view

Refresh Security from shared services fails.

Hello all,
On our environment I went into shared services with admin rights and changed the native directory password. And from then on I have not been able to refresh the security of essbase server in EAS. I get the following error,
Essbase failed to get roles list for [ESB:Analytic Servers:Servername:1] from Shared Services Server with Error [32:1062:Failed to connect to the user directory [Native Directoy].]
Also I would like to know if native directory password means the password "password" which comes as default for the username admin. Am new to essbase and was under the impression that native directory password means the password "password" which came as default for the username admin. Please help, this is a production issue which started only because I changed the native directory password and now I need to get it fixed.
Thanks.

Please confirm the version of the Shared Services (HSS) and Essbase, EAS server.
Also let me know, if the HSS, ESSBASE & EAS installed on the same box ?
If they are on the different servers, ensure that there is no network communication issues.. (try performing telnet on the port from each other servers)
E.g Open command prompt - telnet servername port (telnet HSS_SERVER 28080), hit enter.. if it shows the blank screen .. it is successful and there is no communication issues.
Also you could try..
On EAS server, add the below in windows registry under EAS... and restart the machine..
ESS_CSS_JVM_OPTION1 = -Dcom.hyperion.css.socketTimeout=60000
if you are not comfortable updating the registry contact you admin and ensure to take the backup before editing...

Error with Active Directory Synchnorisation from Shared Services to Essbase

Have recently installed HS9 v 9.3.1
In Shared Services i have created both native and MSAD users. Everything works fine with the native users (Planning,EAS etc...)

Hardcode IP addresses instead of the server names in the essbase.cfg file and the Shared Services CSS.XML file for the Shared Services server references.
Restart SS/Essbase, provision an MSAD user, then do a Refresh from Shared Services in AAS.
Verify your MSAD userID then shows up as an Essbase user in AAS(Display User list for the Essbase server)
As long as the MSAD users show up in the user list, they should be working.

Problem with Business Rules access from Shared Services

Hello,
When trying to access Business Rules from Shared Services (expand Business Rules and click on the application) I get the "Refer to the Security Guide to configure security permissions for this application" message, but the user is fully provisioned for Business Rules. It happens even logged on as admin. Access from Administration Services works fine. The version Hyperion system 9 (9.3.0.1). What is wrong? Help, please.
Thanks,
Timur

You can't access Business Rules from Shared Services. This is no different from any other application - Planning, Essbase, etc. You can provision users to the application roles, but you can't actually do anything with the application, other than security, in Shared Services. You use Admin Services to maintain Business Rules.

Error migrating Security from Shared Services.

Hi,
I was using Hyperion Planning 9.3.1's in Import/ Export utility in D:\Hyperion\common\utilities\CSSImportExportUtility\cssimportexport\importexport\CSSExport.bat. I'm trying to export Security from Shared Services into xml format. I get the following error message:
Malformed \uxxxx encoding
Anyone with similar experiences? Hyperion's impexp.pdf makes the steps so complicated!!

Answering my own question:
Since I am in Windows, I was using backslashes in my paths when I updated file:
importexport.properties
The error went away after I changed the backslashes to forward slashes in all paths.

EAS Console - Not getting the option "Refresh security from Shared Services"

Hi,
In EAS Console 11.1.2.2, I am not getting the option "Refresh security from Shared Services" when I right click on Security (under Essbase Servers).
However, I can see this option via EAS Console 11.1.1.3 (current existing version).
Could you please let me know how can I get this option in EAS Console 11.1.2.2? Is this by any chance related to the option "Externalize Users"?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot join for this information and your kind support .
One more question:
The owner of the Planning application is user 'hypadmin'.
I can see the SIDs of user 5001 a little different in both the versions. Is this ok?
Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3 (Existing Environment)
USER_ID     SID ROLE SYNC_PSWD OFFLINE_ENABLED HUB_ROLES
50001          native://DN=cn=0fa19f8241602600:3b78a0e0:130926693d2:-78ba,ou=People,dc=css,dc=hyperion,dc=com?USER 3 2 0 5019

I have not yet performed "Externalize Users" yet in the new environment (11.1.2.2) throgh EAS Console. Is it required in the newer version 11.1.2.2?

Refresh Security from shared services.

Hi
When ever there are any changes in the security at shared services(LDAP) , I am doing a refresh security from shared services(@EAS)
-in order to get these changes from shared services.
Which is taking 30 minutes refresh ever time in our systems.
Is there any other way to make quickone?
Version - 11.1.1.3
Thanks

strange? We are still on 931 (Essbase on 9.3.1.6) and refreshing security is not necessary at all any more. It is even deprecated functionality. I always though that 11 did not have it too.^^^The end (or most of the end) of Essbase.sec came in a late patch of 9.3.1. It isn't there yet in 11.1.1.3, I think. It is in 11.1.2. There was not a lot of fanfare about the change although it's there in the patch notes.
