Automating Essbase clustering using Hyperion Provider Services

Hi
I am testing Essbase clustering using Hyperion Provider Services for high availability of cubes. I have created an Essbase cluster and added cubes to it using EAS. Since cubes get update during interday, I want to add/remove cubes from the cluster. I could do this process manually in EAS but prefer if I can automate this process. I was told that I could use either JAVA APIs (prefer) or XMLA to automate adding & removing cubes to/from the Essbase cluster. Unfortunately, I cannot find any documentation that mentions the names of the JAVA APIs that I should call to succeed this process. Could anybody help me please?
Regards
Chandra

Hi,
Assuming you are on V11 then if you have a look in \Hyperion\products\Essbase\aps\samples\japi and there is java example of creating clusters :- CreateCluster.java
Java API docs available in \Hyperion\products\Essbase\aps\docs\japistart.htm
If you are on an earlier version then the directory structure will be a little different.

Hyperion Provider Services

Hi
I am using Windows environment, I want to add Hyperion Provider Service as a " Windows Service" . We are usign Essbase 9.3.1
Any help would be great
Thank you,
khan

Hi,
When you configure provider services it should give you the option to install it as a service, when you deploy the web service it should give the option to "deploy as a service".

How to use JCo Provider Service w/Sneak Preview and Test Drive

I have both SAP Web AS Sneak Preview (6.40) and MiniWas 6.20 Test Drive installed on a single system. I have implemented a Java server program which can be RFC called from an ABAP program using JCO.
The only disadvantage to this process is that I must manually run the server program each time I bring up the J2EE system.
I would like to set things up so that when I start the WebAS 6.40 J2EE system, the server function can be automatically registered (if I'm using the correct terminology - not at all sure about that...). It looks to me that I should be able to use JCo Provider Service to do what I want to do, but I don't know how to do any of the session bean creation and I esp. can't seem to find out how to run the J2EE Visual Administrator, which the documentation I've found leads me to believe needs to be used.
Is there a tutorial, or example, that will lead me through this entire process? I have the ABAP calling program working OK, and I have the Java JCo server program working ok - I just want to create something in Java that will operate like a good old C Language function installed as an RFM.
Can anyone help? Is it possible?

Stefan:
Well, I guess I'm stuck at the first step.
As I understand it, I have to use the Visual Administrtor to register the Web AS 6.40 Sneak Preview system as an RFC destination. When I bring up the Visual Administrator, it has essentially two tabs showing: Dispatcher and Server. It's inviting me to define a connection and Login. So, Q1: Is it inviting me to login to the J2EE or the Web AS? Either way, I am never able to login - I get this error:
com.sap.engine.services.security.exceptions.BaseLoginException: Cannot create new RemoteLoginContext
I used all of the NetWeaver sneak preview defaults when installing, and I recorded these:
Type               Account
OS User            Compaq-laptop/J2EAdm
OS User            Compaq-laptop/SAPServiceJ2E
DB User            SAPJ2EDB
J2EE Engine User   Administrator
J2EE Engine User   Guest
Q2: Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do with the Sneak Preview system?
Or am I trying to connect and logon to the Web AS 6.20 Test Drive (I don't think so...)? I used the defaults when installing the Test Drive, and have these users:
BCUSER
DDIC
Is it one of these I should be logging onto?
Also, Visual Administrator wants a port specified on the J2EE Engine connection paramters - what port should I be specifiying?
Can you get me past this dilemma, Stefan? Thanks...

Sorry for the delay in the response I have installed this on a single server but it was the issue with datasources.xml file
Below are the steps to resolve the issue.
1. stop APS
2. Go to http://<machine>:19000/interop
3. Expand Application group->Foundation->Deployment Metadata->Shared Services Registry->Essbase-> And locate APS LWA
4. Right click on datasources.xml file and “Export for Edit”
5. Save the datasources.xml file and not open it.
6. Open with notepad and make changes so that essbase server name is listed like below:
etc...I think your reference above to Go to http://<machine>:*19000*/interop should be changed to Go to http://<machine>:*28080*/interop for shared services.
In looking at this I could not find the datasources.xml file reference following your outline.

Unable to view Essbase server in Hyperion Shared services Console

Hi All,
I installed Hyperion Essbase 11.1.2.1 on windows xp 32 bit.
I am unable to see the Essbase Server Icon under 'Applications Gruops' in shared services console.
But "Essbase Server Srudio 11.1.2.1" is available instead of Essbase Server.
Help how to get "Essbase server" to give provisions to particular applications to particular users.
Regards
Sekhar

Hi Guys,
The isssue resolved.
Reason : At the time of Installation i enabled the "Standalone mode Server"
thats why Essbase cluster was not Registered in Shared services.

Error in logs APS server (Provider services)

Hi,
We have a lot of attivity between a WAS application and ESSBASE that use the provider services.
Also, the provider services return error in apsserver and TOMCAT.

Thank you for your help.

Background: Using 11g db, Essbase Spreadsheet Add-In works, Can connect to Admin Server and Essbase with EAS, all Windows services start up fine, installed as 'Deploy Essbase in standalone mode'.
Problems:
1. I get the following error trying to connect the SmartView Add-In in Excel to Provider Services:
Cannot connect to provider. The attempt to connect to the server failed. Make sure the server is running in the specified URL.
Here is my URL: http://localhost:13080/aps/SmartView (I've also tried substituting in my hostname.)

I installed EPM 11.1.1.2 on *"BOX1"* (Essbase stand alone mode) and EPM11.1.1.2 on *"BOX2"* (Essbase stand alone mode)
The provider server creation is giving me trouble on Box1 as it says *"URL http://Servername:13080/aps/APS is not reachable. PLease enter another Provider Services URL"*
I tried with localhost @servername(as I was trying to connect from the Box1 only) Stil its not able to create.
I went to services and checked the "Hyperion Provider Services - WebApplication" service and I restarted to make it work several times and still the same problem.
Where as, I'm able to create a Provider Server on *"BOX2"*
I need your expertise advise on why this problem is on my *"BOX1"* and how to get rid of this problem?
I checked with netstat -ae command to see the server port# 13080 is listening too.
Any help is well appreciated and very useful for me!!

AAS & Provider services and conflict between exl adin & smart view

Hi,
I just installed Hyperion Essbase 9.3.1 for test purpose for our upgrade from 7.0 to 9.3. I have one machine and I installed Administration console, Hyperion Provider services and Essbase.
I need to install administration console and Hyperion provider services as a service on windows environment. How I can install as a service.
If I work excel add in v 7.1 and smart view 9.3 on a same machine. It will give me any error or conflict?
Thank you.
T.Khan

Hi,
I am not sure that fully understand what you are asking so I apologise if I have misread this.
Are you saying you have installed EAS server and APS on a machine but didn't tick the install as a service when you were configuring ?
If that is the case then if you have installed using tomcat, in the directory :- \Hyperion\deployments\Tomcat5\bin
There are scripts to create services :- installServiceaas.bat & installServiceaps.bat
If excel addin 7.1 and smart view do cause any issues you can easy turn one of them off, for instance with Smart View you can go to the tool bar in Excel > Hyperion > About > Untick enable Add-in
Or just untick the addins from the addins menu options in excel.
Cheers

SmartView 11.1.1.3 fails to connect to Provider Services

Hi All,
When I try this URL http://<ourservername>:13080/aps/smartview, I get the following:
Hyperion Provider Services
That's it!
On a different server of ours, we see this additional information below the Hyperion Provider Services e.g.
Hyperion Provider Services - Release 11.1.1.2.00 Build 117
ESS_ES_HOME: C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\aps
domain file: C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\aps/data/domain.db
essbase.properties: C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\aps/bin/essbase.properties
log console enabled: false
log file enabled: true
log level: WARN
log file name: C:/Hyperion/logs/aps/apsserver.log
is trace enabled: false
Any ideas why this is happening? I have reconfigured the APS server (and it installed fine), but the same issue remains. I can't connect smartview to this server?
Cheers
Derm.

Re: OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 integration with Hyperion shared services 11.1.1.3

I am working on OBIEE authentication using hyperion shared services. To achieve this I did the following steps,
1) Registered the shared services in Answers using 'Manage EPM workspace'
2)Modified config.xml to enable HSSauthenticator
3)Modified instanceconfig.xml by adding external auth tags
4)In rpd created a init block using custom authenticator.
When I login into Answers using a username and password from hyperion shared services, it is saying invalid username/password.
Log file says ' xxxxxx authentication failed in repository star, Odbc driver returned an error (SQLDriverConnectW)'
Can some one explain me if I am missing anything here?? Is there anyone who has successfully implemented this before.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Sandeep,
I am fairly certain that this integration actually works in the other direction.
That is from the Oracle Hyperion Workspace portal you need to log in and once you are in Workspace from the file menu an option for "Oracle Interactive Dashboards" should be available if all is configured correctly with the integration. That link will open up OBIEE and take the user directly into the dashboards without having to get prompted by the OBIEE login screen.
If you have the BIC2Go image (Dan Vlamis' team, vlamis.com) for Oracle BI 10g you can see this integration's configuration and see it working correctly.
I hope that helps

Using a Web Service as a data provider for a Crystal Report

I'm trying to write a Crystal Reports XI report that uses a Web Service as the data provider. I have a Web Service written in ColdFusion that looks like this. <cfcomponent displayName="FindEmployee" > <cffunction name="FindEmployeeSort" access="remote" returnType="xml" output="false"> <cfdump var=form> <cfset myXML = "">  <cfquery name="EmployeeQuery" datasource="Production"> Select * from employee <cfif isdefined('form.lastname')> WHERE lastname LIKE '%#form.lastname#%' </cfif> Order by lastname asc </cfquery> <cfreturn EmployeeQuery> </cffunction> </cfcomponent> I can get the web service to work from a ColdFusion page (either locally or on a remote server).When I try to create the CR data source, I get the following error:Crystal Reports ! Logon Failed. Details: Cannot find correspondign table information in the XML fileThe steps I took were: * Choose XML from the "Avalable Data Sources" * Choose "Use Web Service Data Source" * Choose "Use HTTP(S) WSDL" with a url of <a href="http://host/directory/FindEmployee.cfc?wsdl">http://host/directory/FindEmployee.cfc?wsdl</a> * Leave the "HTTP(S) Web Service User ID:" and "HTTP(S) Web Service Password:" parameters blank * Accept the defaults for Services, Ports, and Methods. They are respectively FindEmployee, FindEmployee.cfc and FindEmployeeSort. * Then get the errorThe most likely candidate to me is the user id and password, but I have no idea what to use. I didn't have to set any login information up in the ColdFusion pages that I used to test the Web Service.Any ideas where to go from here?Thanks,Brian

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Java Development - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

Error While creating ABAP Consumer Service using Provider service WSDL.

HI Friends,
We are trying to consume service from Provider service.
Provider service is developed on CE 7.11-NWDS7.11 and published in CE7.11 registry.(used outside in method and implemented in EJB/Deployed/Published/tested) sounds good.
We are trying to consume in ABAP (ECC 6.0 EHP4 SPS16).
when we are trying to create service consumer from se80 selected url : provider WSDL picked up from from Service registry.
At the end of wizard its throwing error.
error description.
Message Policy in Name space "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/policy " is not unique in WSDL.
Unable to generate proxy.
Any pointers to resolve this.
Regards
Chandra

I would suggest to test the service in XML Spy using the same WSDL or the URL of the WSDL. If XML Zpy throws the same error, there could be some problem in the provider service generation itself..!!

UK service provider can no longer unlock my iPhone for US use, and US service providers and Apple store say that only my UK service provider can unlock this phone. Help!

I bought this iPhone while backpacking through Europe 2 years ago. It was the first thing i did after i got off the airplane to help me navigate, book hostels, trains, flights, and talk with family back home. it cost me around 700-800 US dollars, full price since they do pricing/contracts different over in the UK.
It's been a couple years, and I'm ready to ditch my 6 year old Samsung and move on to this iPhone. The problem is, since i wasn't using the UK service for a while, they dropped my number/user account completely and they can no longer unlock my iPhone. I talked to AT&T and the Apple store, and they said that the only way I can unlock my iPhone is by contacting the service company that i originally purchased this from--whom can't help since i no longer have an account with them.
How do i LEGALLY unlock this iPhone for use in the US?

Only the wireless provider to which an iPhone is locked can unlock it.
You may have to get a PayAsYouGo sim from that provider to activate
your account with them so you can get the iPhone unlocked.
There is not other legal way to unlock the iPhone for use with other than
the wireless carrier to which it is locked. Contact them to see what options
they offer for re-activating the iPhone on their network.
