Batch Scheduler in HFM

We have been trying to use the batch scheduler in HFM and have not yet had any luck on having the reports emailed out automatically. It looks like the reports in the batch are running ok but they aren't going to anyone in the specified distribution list. I'm not sure where to start to see if we have everything set up to use this feature. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'm not sure. Unfortunately I'm not too familar with the IT side of it. This is definitely something that I can have our IT people look into. Do you have any advise on what I can tell them to look for? HFM is new to us and we don't have too many IT people that are knowledgeable about the system. I've tried to look for instructions on how this should be setup but haven't had much luck.
Thanks for your tip.

Anyone Using the Batch Scheduler in HFM

I'm wondering if anyone is currently using the batch scheduler feature in HFM. I'm just wondering how it well it works and what exactly happens with this feature.
THanks.

Thanks for your input. We are actually trying to use the batch scheduler to generate reports and then automatically email them out. We can see that the batches are generating successfully. When we look at the batch details, we see a message that says that an email was sent successfully, however no email is ever received. We are obviously doing something wrong but we aren't sure if it's in the way it's set up on the back end or if we are running the batch incorrectly.

Financial Reporting Batch Scheduler Error - EPM 11.1.2.1

Hi,
I just downloaded, installed and configured 11.1.2.1 on a test server. Defaults were used and all products have been configured to run on the same database (SQL Server). Mostly everything seems to be working, but when I try to open up "Batch Scheduler", I get an error:
Code: 0
Description: ; nested exception is:
com.hyperion.reporting.util.HyperionReportException: ; nested exception is:
*java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: [FMWGEN][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Invalid object name 'FR_SCHEDULER_DATA'.*
I click on "OK" and I'm in the Batch Scheduler window, but then when I schedule a batch, and click on "Finish", I get a Warning "A member must be provided for the Prompt":
Code: 2021
Description: A Member must be provided for the Prompt
The scheduled batch does not show up in the Batch Scheduler window though.
Any ideas on how I would go about rectifying this error?
Thank you
Dan

Hi,
I just realized that I was connecting to an instance of SQL Server running 2000. Redid the deployment against SQL Server 2008 and everything's working fine now.
Thanks

If I try to run the sample programs on the Hyperion server in their actual location, they work fine.
I am having problem setting up the SDK remotely and run the sample program.

Batch Scheduler doesn't print

Hi, I am using Batch Scheduler for Hyperion Reports. Whenever, I select the "Print" option I don't get any output on the network printer. I can see the printer in the drop down menu. I have unistalled and installed the network printer several times on the server where reports is installed. I do not even get any error message. In fact I get a message "Successfully sent to the printer". Any ideas? -Hank

I think I've discovered my problem, I had a security password set. I wanted to keep my form from being altered - but this won't let it print. I'd like to make the forms unalterable, but still printable, if anyone knows how.
Thanks!

CC&B V2.2 Base Batch Scheduler

I am looking at the base batch scheduler and need to know how this interacts, if at all with the new lightweight batch.
Can someone confirm the following about the base batch scheduler.
1. This scheduler does not use the lightweight batch as it is based on the 1.5 platform.
2. All batch jobs use the full framework jvms and therefore start up times for the batch jobs take more time.
3. It cannot submit multiple batch streams at once.
If you have 2 or more independent batch streams and want to run them at the same time, you cannot do this.
4. You cannot run batch jobs on different servers.

What we like to do is use the new CLUSTERED facility using the supplied base batch scheduler.
We intend to use 2 servers for batch processing
To do this we have to run the threadpoolworker.sh on both servers.
The documentation states in the "Online Batch Daemon" section that there 2 configurations
a) that one server can be configured as both Batch Scheduler Daemon and Batch Server Enabled
this allow both the submission and execution of batch in the same application
b) two servers may be configured one as batch Schedule Daemon and one as Batch Server Enabled
This does not provide a mechanism to use bot servers for batch execution.
Under this configuration this does not support CLUSTERED mode.
Under this situation only 1 server executes the batch programs.
Under the section "External Scheduler Submission"
The thredpoolworker.sh utility section states
A worker JVM may also host a scheduler daemon, which, if activated inside a worker, will poll for job submission requests from the web application
that were done via the Batch Job Submission transaction.
This seems to imply that you can:
a) have a batch environment that does not have the Online batch daemon or the Batch Server Enabled and have
b) configure 1 threadpoolworker on server 1 with a scheduler daemon configured
c) have another threadpoolworker on server 2 but no scheduler daemon configured.
Can you confirm this or advise how we can configure CC&B with the base batch scheduler to use the CLUSTERED processing on 2 servers.
Thanks in advance

Batch Scheduler - why it is not in menu?

Hi,
Im using EPM Workspace 11.1.3 Fusion Edition. My user has Scheduler role assigned, but in my Navigator-> Schedule menu there is no Batch Scheduler option!
I've tried changing user roles, creating new users, restarting server but with no effect. Why is this happening? Is it a matter of some configuration or service?
regards,
Paul

Thanks, but how do I know which service should be running and is responsible for Batch Sheduler option in Workspace?
Now I have those running:
Hyperion Annotation Server
Hyperion Apache 2.0
Hyperion Foundation OpenLDAP
Hyperion Foundation Shared Services - Web Application
Hyperion Workspace - Agent Service
Hyperion Workspace - Web Application
Is something missing? Where can I find all avaliable services ? Is BIPlus\bin folder is good place to start searching?
regards,
Paul

Export Workspace Batch Scheduler

Hi,
I was wondering if there is anyway to export the log information from the Workspace Batch Scheduler. I know you can export batches for command line scheduling, but I'm wondering if there was a way to export the actual information from the batch scheduler itself. Basically a log file of all of the batches, when they were run, what time did they start, what time did they end, etc. Anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,
Look for a table called FR_SCHEDULER_DATA. It has a column called XML (BLOB) which stores all the information about time, what members were bursted,....
Start with the first JOBSTATUSMESSAGE
<JOBSTATUSMESSAGE INDEX="0" KEY="4106" LF="true">
<PARAMETERS PARAMCOUNT="2">
<PARAMETER PARAMETERINDEX="0" PARAMTYPE="String" PARAMVALUE=""My Sample Reports/Batches/Management Pack 1""/>
<PARAMETER PARAMETERINDEX="1" PARAMTYPE="Date" PARAMVALUE="1402955727248"/>
</PARAMETERS>
</JOBSTATUSMESSAGE>
PARAMVALUE of Date is epoch date and converts to Monday, June 16, 2014 4:55:27 PM CDT
If the JOB_STATUS (STATE in the table) is 2 (successful) then you'll find another STATUSMESSAGE with the end time
<JOBSTATUSMESSAGE INDEX="26" KEY="4123" LF="true">
<PARAMETERS PARAMCOUNT="2">
<PARAMETER PARAMETERINDEX="0" PARAMTYPE="String" PARAMVALUE=""Management Pack 1 2nd Run""/>
<PARAMETER PARAMETERINDEX="1" PARAMTYPE="Date" PARAMVALUE="1402955744832"/>
</PARAMETERS>
</JOBSTATUSMESSAGE>
Converts to Monday, June 16, 2014 4:55:44 PM CDT

Workspace batch scheduler error

We just upgraded to EPM 11.1.2.1. This morning, a user scheduled a couple of new batches in Workspace to run FR reports. Those batches were hung at 'Running' and never officially completed but now I'm getting this generic error message every time I try to go into the Batch Scheduler:
; nested exception is:
java.lang.NullPointerException
I can not see any of the previously created batches (the screen is blank). I have already restarted all the services and the same error appears. Is there a way to clear out all the batches that it may be holding on to? Anyone else come across this problem?

Batch Scheduler Failing Randomly

Hi all -
I have a batch scheduled to run on demand. It runs on ~130 custom members. A few months ago it started failing on random custom members. It will run successfully on most, but failed on some with the error:
Problems encountered in "Financial Reports/01 - Monthly Financials/GA Reports/GA Burst Reports"
ADM Error processing results from query: The remote procedure call failed.
Every time the members it fails on are different and the number of failures fluctuates as well.
Oracle Support suggested trying fewer members, but halving the number of customs involved still produces errors.
Has anyone else had experience with this issue?
Thanks,
Sarah

Hi,
I am not aware of a way to schedule calc scripts through workspace.
Though as Rosi said there is the business rules command line launcher, CmdLineLauncher in the bin folder of planning.
You can also run calc scripts using command line with maxl.
Once you have the scripts then you can schedule them.
Cheers
John

Workflow as a Batch Scheduler

Hi All,
Can Workflow be used as a Batch Scheduler to replace a Unix/Cron system? Bit of a broad question but I am sure some out there have maybe tried.
I hear that in theory it can be but I have heard of hanging problems and reliability issues.
OWB is currently in use in the batch anyway and the business would like to have all the batch rules logic in the repository.
Cheers
Clive.

Hi,
Broad question, broad answer - yes it can.
I guess it comes down to whether you want to use workflow, and what you actually want it to do. If may be better to have a series of cron jobs, or scheduled jobs using DBMS_JOB etc. than using Workflow, but it can be done.
HTH,
Matt

Batch schedule won't allow me to enter "login credentials"

Hello All,
A most random thing happened today. I am on version 11.1.2.3.500 of EPM and was in the process of creating a Batch (for test) and after doing this successfully a number of times (10+), I deleted the batch I had created attempting to create a new one. However, this time, the database connection has come up blank as can be seen below.
The 2 fileds highlighted below were originally editable, and the userid was filled in with "admin". I would normally just enter the password and proceed, however in this case, I can't write anything into either of the 2 fields highlighted below.
This naturally creates a problem as I can not now see the dimensions from the reporting database - so can not select any dimensions!
I've powered down the virtual machine, restarted my services (2x) and everything else looks and works fine except for this issue.
Any ideas?
Regards
Dermott

Thanks for the reply LRBS. I did spend some time going through the logs but they turned up empty and here's why...
It turns out it was a corrupted BATCH. Somehow, each time I created a new "Batch Schedule" and used my original batch as a reference it made it impossible to edit/enter the correct login credentials for the server element.
Hopefully this helps someone else in the future.
Action: "Delete and recreate your Batch if you get this error."
