Can't start hyperion configuration utility (Shared services 9.3.1)

Hi,
After the install of shared services the dialog box to do the configuration does not appear.
i tried to configure that by starting manually the configuration tool from start menu-hyperion-foundation services-configuration tool and i have a message that indicates i need to create a java_home system variable (jre or jdk not found JAVA_HOME is not set).
After creating this system variable JAVA_HOME with the right string pointing to java i started again the configuration tool but notuhing appear.
Note: I uninstalled hyperion and i removed all the keys pointing to hyperion from the registry og windows and i tried again but usually the same problem is found.
I m using windows 2008 64 bits.
Thanks.

Hi,
Your problem is you are using windows 2008 and it is not yet supported, you will will need to use a supported OS otherwise you will encounter problems.

Can't register Hyperion Workspace with Shared Services

When I used Hyperion EPM System Configurator 11.1.1.1 to register workspace with Shared Services, it failed. Can someone provide possible reasons? I'm using Apache HTTP Server.

Hi
Try with the following steps:
1. Ensure Shared Service is already installed.
2. Ensure OpenLDAP and SharedService is running.
3. If SharedService is properly running you would be able to access it. (i.e. http://<your_machine_ip>:28080/interop
4. Check if workspace group already created or not. (BI+)
5. If created , delete it.
6. Try with the register option for workspace again.(Only select Workspace no child object need to be selected to to register workspace).

"Perform 1st-time configuration of Shared Services database" option disable

Hi,
Hyperion 11.1.2 shared services configuration “Perform 1st-time configuration of Shared Services database” option is disable
I am going to do the configuration first time but Perform 1st-time configuration of Shared Services database” option is disabled.
Please help here.

Try starting the configurator from the command prompt with option -forceRegistry
We were able to do it in v11.1.1.3... I think this can still be done with v11.1.2

Error While Configuring the Shared Service with Active Directory

Hi All,
I am getting a error while configuring MSAD with Shared Service, when entering the User Id and password and clicking next, the following error is displayed:
"EPMCSS-05180:Failed to validate Security configuration. Failed to connect. Invalid values for Base DN, User DN or Password. Enter valid value(s). Root Cause : [LDAP: error code 49 - 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C0903A9, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 52e, v1db1]"
The AD user has the read access to the all users and group in Active Directory. If I use an Active Directory user with Admin privilege, It is getting connected.
But client is not ready to provide the Admin Access due to their internal policy and I also don't have any document which says admin privilege is required. According to the document,the user should have the following privileges only.
"The distinguished name of the user that Shared Services should use to bind with the user directory. This user must have search privilege on the RDN attribute within the DN. For example, in the dn: cn=John Doe, ou=people, dc=myCompany, dc=com, the bind user should have search access to the cn attribute.Special characters in User DN must be specified using escape characters. See “Using Special Characters” on page 46 for restrictions.
Example: cn=admin,dc=myCompany,dc=com
But I am getting confused with the statement "This user must have search privilege on the RDN attribute within the DN". Is it not search privillege?
Can anybody help me with required privilege for Active Directory user to configure with Shared Service.
Thanks in Advance,
Sunil

Thank you All,
i tried connecting using AD Browser from Microsoft, and it went in properly. then i found out that the AD Team here were giving a Wrong Credentials to connect, they Gave me HYP_OID which infact turned out to be a Principal name instead of a 'cn'.
after searching in the AD Browser i found the correct cn which is "Hyperion OID", then it went to the second Screen where now i am trying to search for the Users based on thier Job Nature.
Thank you for all the Support Guys, you both "Celvin" and "John" are the Top Guys under my Search list for any technical Assistance.
Thank you once again Friends....

Errors in LDAP configuration with Shared Services

Dear sirs,
we are getting errors in LDAP configuration with Shared Services.
Base DN is ou=Grupos,cn=East,o=SSGH,c=br,o=Grupo East
The group cn is cn=AH
In LDAP log you can see the applications is searching the group:
"ou=Grupos,cn=East,o=SSGH,c=br,o=Grupo"
When it should be:
“ou=Grupos,cn=East,o=SSGH,c=br,o=Grupo East”
We think the problem is with space in Base DN "o=Grupo East", it is not properly considered.
Error Codes
EPMCSS-05145
Thanks in advance

Hi.
Could you try to define the Base DN as :
ou=Grupos,cn=East,o=SSGH,c=br,o=Grupo\ East
I don't know if will work fine.. but you can use special characteres using with the "\"
Good luck.
Best regards!

Hyperion 11 Installation-Shared Services registration is failed for Essbase

Hi All,
Today, i was installing Hyperion 11 EPMA system. Here is my scenario:
Installed and configured "Foundation" on one system. Installed "Essbase" products on another system in the same network (Not installed HbNet components). While configuring Essbase products it never asked for Shared Services Server location and hence the essbase products registration with Shared services is failed at the end.
I checked in the services of second system and wonder to see "OpenLDAP" service is running. (I was not able to uncheck "Hyperion Foundation" product options during Essbase product configuration).
I have given the same database schema details used to configure database for the shared services. Am i missing anything. Please help.
Thanks,
Pr

Hi Hohn,
Thanks for your response.
I'm little confused the way to configure EPM products in a distributed environment. Registration of essbase related product with shared services is still failing even mentioned to use "Previously configured shared services database" on Shared services and Registry database page.
From the installation guide: 1. Using the database administration console, change the password of the user account that was used to configure the Shared Services database.
2. Do i need to stop shared services web application and OpenLDAP while configuring "Essbase" products on another system.
Please address the above points and help.Thanks!!
Regards,

Can't Start Tomcat 5 as a Service

Can't Start Tomcat 5 as a Service on XP, when I do
tomcat5\bin\net start tomcat5
I get "NET" is not recognized as an internal or external command
where's that net command coming from? java or XP
thanks

You are trying to start the program called tomcat\bin\net which does not exist. The net command belongs to Windows. Just issuing "net start tomcat" or "net start tomcat5" should work from any directory.
Or just go through the Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services dialog to start and stop Tomcat as a service.

Can't launch Hyperion Configuration Tool

I am installing Hyperion Shared Services 9.2.1 in AIX 5.3
After SS installation, the installer asks about to launch the Configuration Utility to complete the installation, activation and configuration.
i am using Xterm in order to see a GUI for installation.
After installation, Configuratio Utility is not launched and normal AIX shell appears
I tried to start manually the configuration utility in HYPERION_HOME/common/config , using "configtool.sh" script but I got the following error:
aton:/Hyperion/common/config # sudo ./configtool.sh -console
Password: (password entered)
ERROR: /home/admin/.hyperion.aton does not exist or is not readable
aton:/Hyperion/common/config #
I was looking the configtool.sh file and I could see that this is an error caused by the anormal termination of the script since sh execution can't find this:
# This is the file that has our HYPERION_HOME definition
DOT_HYPERION="${HOME}/.hyperion.${SHORT_HOSTNAME}"
DOT_HYPERION_LC="${HOME}/.hyperion.${SHORT_HOSTNAME_LC}"
# Make sure ~/.hyperion.${SHORT_HOSTNAME} exists and is readable
if [ -r "${DOT_HYPERION}" ]; then
HYPERION_HOME=`cat ${HOME}/.hyperion.${SHORT_HOSTNAME} | \
grep '^HYPERION_HOME' | \
cut -f2 -d'='`
else
if [ -r "${DOT_HYPERION_LC}" ]; then
     HYPERION_HOME=`cat ${HOME}/.hyperion.${SHORT_HOSTNAME_LC} | \
grep '^HYPERION_HOME' | \
cut -f2 -d'='`
     DOT_HYPERION=${DOT_HYPERION_LC}
else
     echo "ERROR: ${DOT_HYPERION} does not exist or is not readable"
     exit 1
fi
fi
I appreciate your help if you can tell me what's is this error about, and how can I fix it.
Thanks in advance

It seems your installation was not completely successfull. I'd suggest rerunning the installation.
In the home dir of the user running the installation you should find a file named .hyperion.$YOURSERVERNAME (so in your case user admin's home should have a file named .hyperion.aton)
you can use
ls -al to list also the . files
Make sure the file exists in your home directory. It should have a content like mine:
HYPERION_HOME=/opt/essbase9/common
export HYPERION_HOME
In your case HYPERION_HOME should point to your hyperion home (/Hyperion/common i guess ???)
Anyway this should already be there, unless you installed the sw on a different account you are using now to configure...

MSAD Configuration with Shared Services

Hi,
I have just sucessfully configured MSAD to the HFM SS but 1 concern is that anyone with the domain suer login is able to login to shared service although limited function are available. Is there anyway to control other users except my users to login?
I do not want to use Native to create user as it will means another set of password to rememberr for the users, would prefer they use their normal domain accoutn to login.
Thanks

In addition to other comments, users can only make changes in Shared Services if they have Shared services roles assigned. Also, we use MSAD with both local and AD groups, and as long as you know the effective rights, it works out fine either way. The Shared services roles are listed below (Security Administrator's Guide pp 135-136):
Administrator: Provides control over all products that integrate with Shared Services. It enables more
control over security than any other Hyperion product roles and should therefore be
assigned sparingly. Administrators can perform all administrative tasks in User
Management Console and can provision themselves.
This role grants broad access to all applications registered with Shared Services. The
Administrator role is, by default, assigned to the admin Native Directory user, which is
the only user available after you deploy Shared Services.
Directory Manager: Creates and manages users and groups within Native Directory.
Do not assign to Directory Managers the Provisioning Manager role because combining
these roles allows Directory Managers to provision themselves.
The recommended practice is to grant one user the Directory Manager role and another
user the Provisioning Manager role.
LCM Manager: Runs the Artifact Life-Cycle Management utility to promote artifacts or data across product environments and operating systems
Project Manager: Creates and manages projects within Shared Services
Create Integrations: Creates Shared Services data integrations (the process of moving data between
applications) using a wizard.
For Oracle's Enterprise Performance Management Architect, creates and executes data
synchronizations.
Run Integrations: Views and runs Shared Services data integrations.
For Performance Management Architect, executes data synchronizations.
Dimension Editor ( includes Dimension Viewer and Interactive Editor):
Creates and manages import profiles for dimension creation. Also, creates and manages
dimensions manually within the Performance Management Architect user interface or the
Classic Application Administration option.
Required to access Classic Application Administration options for Financial Management
and Planning using Web navigation.
Dimension Viewer can read or view dimensions. This role automatically maps to the
Dimension Reader access on dimensions.
Interactive Editor can modify members within a dimension, and grants dimension writer
access to all dimensions. Does not allow users to delete dimensions.
Note: Dimension Viewer and Interactive Editor roles are reserved for future use.
Application Creator (includes Analytic Services Application Creator, Financial Management Application Creator, Planning Application Creator, External Application Creator): Creates and deploys Performance Management Architect applications. Users with this
role can create applications, but can change only the dimensions to which they have
access permissions.
Required, in addition to the Dimension Editor role, for Financial Management and
Planning users to be able to navigate to their product’s Classic Application Administration
options.
When a user with Application Creator role deploys an application from Performance
Management Architect, that user automatically becomes the application administrator
and provisioning manager for that application.
The Application Creator can create all applications.
The Analytic Services Application Creator can create Generic applications.
The Financial Management Application Creator can create Consolidation applications
and Performance Management Architect Generic applications. To create applications,
the user must also be a member of the Application Creators group specified in Financial
Management Configuration Utility.
The Planning Application Creator can create Planning applications and Performance
Management Architect Generic applications.
The External Application Creator can create external views and export application views
but cannot export the library.
Note: External Application Creator role is reserved for future use.
