Cannot start EPMA FIle Generator

I cannot get the EPMA file generator to run. I am running a Windows XP client system within a VM and have all other 11.1.2 clients running correctly. EPMA server is running and I can connect to it via Workspace. Whenever I start the EPMA File Generator client I get an error message "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application." There are no log entries that I can find anywhere on the client and the Windows Event Viewer shows no further detail. I have already run the installer again to reinstall it without any change.
Any ideas?

Have a look in the windows event viewer and see the error message that has been generated.
Cheers

EPMA File Generator error

Hi,
I generally use the EPMA File Generator excel template to create my metadata for bulk loading into EPMA Shared Library. For some reason I have started to get errors whenever I open the excel file on my machine. I keep getting the error "Could not load an object because it is not available on this machine."
It seems that the Macro's embedded in the file that assist in the metadata creation require some files/objects that are not available. This is the case with all other machines I've checked in my organization. I have a feeling it might be the result of a updates/patches to Office.
Edit: Even if I don't use the macros and just update the metadata on the existing sheets (dimensions I had already created in the file) I am unable to save the changes as well. I just get the error that the file is corrupted and excel will try to recover. Once I click on OK it just says that the damage to the file was so extensive that recovery is not an option.
Does anyone know what is causing the problem and how to fix it. If a .dll or .ocx can be downloaded and replaced somewhere just to get this file working.
Thanks,
Shehzad

I have reconfigured, retyping the correct user and password many times now. I can log into the database from the server using SQL Plus with no issues. If anyone has an idea of what could be wrong, I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks!

I had the DBA create me a new empty database user. I ran the config tool again using this user/pwd and selected first time configuration of database. This finished successfully, 213 objects were created in the database. When I try to start the dimension server, I am still getting the ORA-1017 error.

Extracting Dimension from Planning Application through EPMA File Generator

Hi,
I have a EPMA planning application (in version 11.1.1.2) and I want to extract its dimensions in to a ads file. I am using EPMA File Generator 9.3.1 for the purpose.
I am selecting the "From Planning Application" tab and entering all the required details, but when I execute... I get error "Unable to get metadata. Please check the web URL, application name, and application server."
I checked the web URL which is:
http://<server name>:8300/HyperionPlanning
and my application name & server are also correct...
Please help me to find out what exactly is going wrong here...
Thanks & Regards,
AK

Why are you using 9.3.1 version, is there not a newer version in \Hyperion\products\Foundation\BPMA\EPMAFileGenerator\
Also if it an EPMA application you can use the EPMA tab to generate the ADS.

Installing EPMA File Generator on User Machine

Greetings all -
I have a user who wants to be able to extract her metadata from EPMA-enabled HFM applications at her discretion. My first thought was EPMA file generator, but she does not (and will not) have access to the servers in any capacity. Is there a way to install the EPMA file generator on a user's machine? I am also open to metadata extraction options that she could do without EPMA file generator, but nothing immediately came to mind.
Any help is appreciated, as always.
Thank you,
Sarah

The EPMA file generator can be installed on a user desktop. That bad part is on the 11.x line you have to use the installer which requires a large set of files (installer, foundation 1 - n, EPMA) to install that one little piece of software rather than a specific installer for the EPMA File Generator. Make sure only the file generator is selected for install and no other components.
Once it's installed no configuration is required using the configuration tool -- all parameters are inputs when you run the file generator itself.

EPMA File generator

Hi all,
I want to export the EPMA dimensions, ie, want to reverse engineering the profilefile using EPMA file generator(.ads profile files).
Is the file generator exports all dimensions at a time,if so.How can i export only one dimension at a time.
thanks in advance

Is that the final option to me to go, By using the EPMA file generatior we can't export one dimension after dimension like essbase outline extractor.

EPMA File Generator Plug In for Excel

Does anyone know if there are plans to make the EPMA File Generator more of a client side application that would run potentially as in conjunction with the Smart-View Excel Add-In? Right now, it appears it the file generator is restricted to those who have access to the foundation server.
This would make Finance a lot happier and less reliable on ETL groups.

This is installed from the EPMA system installer. This can be installed on the client, but it isn't as easy as providing them an EXE that they can simply double click.
You could use LCM utility to automate the extracts to xml files of the hierarchies. These files can easily be opened in Excel as tables. The automation could copy the xml files to a common directory or send emails. Details on using this can be found at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_batch_user/launch.html.
You could also download the Essbase Outline Extractor, which would basically do the same thing. It would read from Essbase rather than EPMA. That can be downloaded at http://www.appliedolap.com/free-tools/outline-extractor.
Hope that helps.

Cannot open PDF files - generated response says I have to accept Licence Agreement. How?

Cannot open PDF files. Message generated says "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User Licence Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser." Surely I must have accepted the Licence Agreement at the time of installation and am unable to "launch" Adobe reader. Anyone else had this issue please?

For Chrome I went went into the plugins: chrome://plugins/
The "Chrome PDF Viewer" was disabled. I reenabled it and it allowed me to view the PDFs again.

EPMA File Generator not working on ASO database

Greetings, a colleague of mine is having trouble using file generator in EPMA on an ASO database with MDX formulas. He is getting an error, unrecognized application type Essbase (ASO). He used on 11.1.1.3 and, 11.1.2.2. I know there was a defect in 11.1.1.3 that should have been resolved in 11.1.2.2 and, apparently it hasn't. Has anyone else come across this issue? Please advise. Thanks.

The problem was introduced during the CF 7.01 update. I
understand that the
7.02 update fixes the issue.

Cannot import .mov files generated by Toast

Hi All,
I have a strange issue : I had old HI8 tapes that I got transferred on DVDs (VOB files). I then converted these files in HD DV with Toast 10, which generated AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) files encapsulated in mov that I can perfectly read with Quicktime X (I run SL 10.6.2). The issue is I just cannot import these files in IMovie 09 (the corresponding files are "greyed" in the finder...)
Does anyone has a clue on why this happens?
Thanks!

I have kind similar issue ,I try to convert .mts from canon in toast 9 to .mov but for iMovie 09 it's not good...there is slight difference in some parameters of AIC what iMovie use on it's own when you do import directly from camcorder /this codes is that Litte Endian/ and output of tast9 is /AIC ,ACC/...so all my files on hard drive are not importable for now ,looks like the compatibility of .mov container is terrible...it's frustrating I tried also voltaic converter and few more but they output is useless...it's rough & cranky...so I'm looking for solution as well....

Cannot open zip file generated with java

Hello everybody !
I work on a web application ( servlet, JSP... ).
I generate a zip file containing only one file corresponding to a JSP page but when I try to open it thanks to Winzip 8.0, I have the following message :
Error : invalid compressed data to inflate.
The zipped file is not empty, does anybody know what is the problem, here is the source code of my servlet :
public void trt (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException
URL l_JspPage;
String temp;
ByteArrayOutputStream l_ByteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ZipOutputStream l_ZipOutputStream = new ZipOutputStream(l_ByteArrayOutputStream);
l_ZipOutputStream.setMethod(ZipOutputStream.DEFLATED);
ServletOutputStream out = res.getOutputStream();
ServletContext servletContext = getServletContext();
if ((temp=req.getParameter("url"))!=null)
try
l_JspPage = new URL(temp);
DataInputStream l_DataInputStream = new DataInputStream(l_JspPage.openStream());
int l_iBufferSize = l_DataInputStream.available();
byte l_byJspPageData[] = new byte[l_iBufferSize];
l_DataInputStream.read(l_byJspPageData, 0, l_iBufferSize);
l_ZipOutputStream.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry("file.html"));
l_ZipOutputStream.write(l_byJspPageData,0,l_iBufferSize);
l_ZipOutputStream.closeEntry();
l_ZipOutputStream.finish();
String zip=l_ByteArrayOutputStream.toString();
res.setContentType("application/zip");
res.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline; filename=output.zip;");
out.println(zip);
out.flush();
Thanks for your help.

Your code is somewhat obscure, but it appears that you are writing a zip file to a byte array, converting the byte array to a string, and writing the string to "out" - whatever that is.
I'm not sure why you are going through all this, but in any case the string conversion is probably a wrong step. Zipping results in binary data, and string conversion will probably result in changes to the binary values.

EPMA File Generator 9.3.1 Issue

I'm getting a very strange errors when trying to export the Master application view in EPMA from my prod or dev environments.
It seems like it's having a problem with spaces in the name of a member or dimension? But I can export any of my 3 Planning applications just fine and they have dimensions with spaces in too.
Has anyone seen these errors and knows how to resolve them? I hate that I can't keep my dev enviroment updated with the changes in prod, it makes testing new calcs and rules a major pain.

Based on the 9.3.1 EPMA admin manual, it indicates that spaces shouldn't be at the beginning or end of a member name. There's nothing there about a problem with spaces in the middle of a member name. There is a special case for smart lists, it seems, but I dont have any smart lists with spaces...

Cannot start PDF file.

I installed the Adobe Reader XI in Windows 7. The installation was successful. When I opened a file of PDF, it asked me to accept or reject. When I tried to check the 'accept' key, it did not response.
After a while, I close the pdf file. I opened another one, it could open but then a message was displayed saying it stopped running.
What should I do so that I can read the pdf file?

Additional steps to try:
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Cannot start EPMA services :: Help needed

Hi,
We have installed EPMA 11.1.1.3 on a Windows 2003 Server VM with 2GB RAM and Weblogic 9.2 server. Database configuration and app deployment are successful but somehow the services wont start up.
Checked the event viewer and it was pointing to Dimension server error. Here is the content from dimension_server.log .
Please check and let me know if you can identify the root cause of this issue..
[Engine Startup] Hyperion.DimensionServer.Program.LogMessage(:0) - An error occurred during initialization of engine ID 1: Object reference not set to an instance of an object..
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Thanks

Yes, workspace agent is running fine. We have the hyperion 11.1.1.3 suite,except for EPMA & Fin Reporting print server, running on AIX 5.3 on a different server.., if that may lead you into something
Thanks

EPMA Excel File Generator

I'm using 11.1.1.2 and attempting to use the Excel EPMA file generator. I'm getting all of my dimensions, however, I can not get any aliases to load. I'm loading for Planning and Essbase (BSO). All I want to do is load a Default alias but I'm getting 'Invalid Property Data Type for Property 'Alias'.'
My 'Alias' tab has just one entry:
#root|English
First, does the file generator work for aliases, and if so, what am I doing wrong?
Also, has anyone seen a sample Excel workbook for the file generator. I think that would be super helpful.
Thanks,
Michael

I haven't used the Excel ADS file format much (I use text ADS files), but one thing I've noticed is that the File Generator produces files that cannot be re-imported without manipulation. I think of the File Generator as a tool that provides "hints" regarding what your file should look like. One would hope that you could export a file using the File Generator and turn right back around and import it without errors. That isn't the case as of version 11.1.1.2.
In a text file, in the Hierarchies section, you would not have "Alias" as your heading. Instead, it would be something like "Alias=Default". I would try changing this.
In addition, you might want to add the following line to the Alias tab:
#root|Default
Hopefully this will get you a little further.
Take Care,
- Jake
