Change in the shared services settings

Hi,
Recently the host name changed and I had to reconfigure the MSAD configuration. I restarted the Shared services and then restarted planning. I subsequently ran the userprovision.cmd to synchronise the users with Planning.
But the users still can't seem to be able to logon using their ids.
Do I need to restart all the services again?
Regards,
Amol

Hi,
Did you run the provisionusers.cmd or updateusers.cmd
It will be the updateusers.cmd that should update the users in planning to be in line with shared services.
Cheers

CSSimport.bat error: while migrating the Shared Services groups and users

Hi,
I am trying to migrate the shared services native users and group from 9.3.1(on server A) to 11.1.1.3(on server B)
- I have taken the export in CSV format from 9.3.1 using CSSexport.bat.(export.csv) -Successful.
- I have copied this on the 11.1.1.3 server and changed lil details like removing the admin user etc.
- When I am trying the import this on 11.1.1.3, I am getting the below error:
CSSimport importexport.properties2010-10-11 09:36:41,328 Attempting a import operation
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (com.hyperion.css.common.CSSLogger).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
null
Aborting program...
- There are not log or error files geting generated - The only error recieved , is given above.
- I have made the necessary changes to the impotexport.properties file on 11.1.1.3 before starting the CSSimport utility.
Can you please let meknow what should I do to overcome this error.
-thanks,
Ankit

First thing I would try would be on the 11.1.1.3, try and run an export, if it works then run the import on the same file, this way you will make sure you have the version 11 utility working.
Once you have done that then you can move on to the 9.3.1 export file.

What determines the location of the shared services log files

I've just completed an install and configuration of Shared Services 9.2.1. The shared services log files, SharedServices_Security.log, SharedServices_Admin.log, etc., are being written to the C:\WINDOWS\system32\null\logs\SharedServices9 path. These files should be written to the Tomcat application folders in the Shared Services home, CSS_HOME, folder. e.g. d:\hyperion\sharedservices\9.2\appserver\installedapps\tomcat\5.0.28. This is according to the Shared Services installation documentation.
Is there any way to get these log files written to the d: drive? The following references sharedservices.logdir from the hsslogger.properties file but I don't see where a value is set that I can change.
log4j.appender.FILE.File=${sharedservices.logdir}${file.separator}SharedServices_Security.log
Thanks,
Tom

Hi there!
Are you looking for the AOM log file?
By default it´s located at:
SIEBEL_ROOT\ENTERPRISE\SIEBEL_SERVER\log
If you can´t find the AOM log files here, try to check the "Log directory" server parameter value.

Neet to locate the shared services native users in SQL server tables

Hi All,
We are using Hyperion Shared services to provision users to essbase, planning and HFM(all version 9.3.1). And we are using SQL server 2000 as the database. We created few native users in shared services and provisioned them to HFM, Essbase and Planning. Now we need to find those native users' information in the underlying SQL tables. I followed the documentation and sync-ed the native to relational tables using shared services, but I cannot see the user info for all the users I have created. I would appreciate if you can suggest me how to find the shared services users' and roles information in SQL tables (in the back end).
Legards,

Hi,
There are a number of free Ldap browsers that you can download, e.g.
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/demo.html
http://www.ldapbrowser.com/download.htm
Once you have installed then ldap browser you just need to point it to your Openldap
Host :- machine with OpenLdap running
Port :- 58089
Base :- dc=css,dc=hyperion,dc=com
User DN :- CN=root,dc=css,dc=hyperion,dc=com
And just the root password which you can change in HSS in 9.3

Urgent: Load balance the shared services server

Hello Experts,
One of my customer would like to know that is there a way to load balance the shared services server i.e., Register one essbase server with more than one Shared services server, so that if one shared services fails the other can authenticate the logins for the essbase server.
Also, referred the following weblink for 11x, Table 3. EPM System High Availability and Load Balancing Matrix
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/epm_high_avail_11111/frameset.htm?ch01s04.html
Do we have any docs for version 9x?
Environment:
Essbase 9.3.1.3.00
OS : IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-bit) 5.3
Any suggestions would be of great help. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sonal

I would not attempt any changes until 9.3.1 service fix #16 is released.
Oracle is back-porting clusterware support to with service fix # 16.
HSS 9.3.1sf 16 "active passive failover cluster with Oracle Clusterware 11g, for hss web app and openldap"
Based on the Oracle escalated support resources I have been in touch with solutions are not supported. Please realize this is not load-balancing and is fail-over support only.
To my knowledge there is not a "active-active" 9.3.1 Shared Services that is supported by Oracle.
You can read more about an active-passive fail-over at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/pdf/epm-hss-high-avail-windows-whitepaper.pdf
They are supposed to release a 9.3.1 white paper once service fix #16 is fully released and has been client tested.
Regards,
John

Essbase Product Existence Check Fails against the Shared Services Server

Hello Everyone,
I am a new to Essbase
When I am launching the EAS web console and trying to log in, its giving me an error saying "Could not connect to Administration Server".
I looked in ESSBASE log file its showing an error 1051429 : "Essbase Product Existence Check Fails against the Shared Services Server with Error []"
This error actually started when I copied an Essbase Application from one of my computers to another computer. All I simply did is copied the application folder into "app" folder. I am not sure if migration
is possible just by copying and pasting the application folders. I am not sure if doing this messed up security with shared services. Also under c:\hyperion\essbase folder I see another text file named "SharedServices_Security_Client".
Its log for today is below:

Please Help
Thank you

From the log
Error establishing socket to host and port: chandan:1433. Reason: Connection refused: connect
The SQL server itself is not running or TCP/IP is disabled. That can be confirmed by runing netstat and see it is listed there.
Then run telnet chandan 1433 and see it can connect

Where is the Shared Services user security stored?

On Hyperion Planning 9.3. I can view the security of my users/groups via the report in Shared Services, yet I would like to put the output in Excel and there is no option other than Print/Print Preview.
which repository database contains the Shared Services security?
Thanks
JTS

Hi,
If you are talking about the security to members, forms then this is held in the planning application database.
If it is provisioning of the application then it is a combination of the Shared Services database and OpenLdap database. (not so easy just to create a report on the provisioning by looking at the database)
Cheers

How to Move the Shared Services Registry to a different SQL Server

I have an Essbase installation purely running Essbase and Financial Reporting/Web Analysis.
The Shared Services database is held in SQL Server 2005 on one hardware platform and I need to move it to an alternative hardware platform also running SQL 2005.
I thought it might be as easy as backing up from one server and restoring to the other and then running EPM System Configurator.
Firstly, when running configurator and selecting the Hyperion Foundation Configure Database option, on the 'Shared Services and Registry Database Configuration' screen the details of the original hardware are displayed, clicking 'Next' gets no response.
If I can resolve this first issue, how do I then re-point the database to the new server?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi John
Took a look at the link thanks.
On point 3 it says to stop the original database. If you take the database offline, in configurator you don't then get the options in option 5!
In the dos command window for configurator I get 'Unknown Source' messages (either using current server or new).
configtool.log lists as follows. Does this point to anything?
Thanks.

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....

Swapping the DNS names - How does the Shared Services behaves

Hi Essbase God's
I have one more situation here. I have four hosts runing on VM ware.
1 # host - prod server whsoe security setup is provisioned by a prod shared service host
2 # host - Dr server whsoe security setup is provisioned by a dr shared service host
I will be sync'ng DR cubes on daily basis with Prod host . Say My Prod Host is down.
How wud shared services behave if i do the below.
1. Bring donw the prod shared services on Prod shared services box
2. modify the DNS name of the DR host to Prod host ( here Dr will now acts as prod)
3. Birng up the prod shared services on Prod shared services box
I may be sounding dumb.
will i be abel to connect to prod host ( in real this is DR) and ask user to do activities.
Pls advice
MS

Hi,
You don't need the desktop. You can log in directly from the laptop to the remote desktop services server. This is a lot easier to manage, since there is only 1 place to manage instead of multiple. Of course, you will want to provide a couple of servers
because if you have 1 server and it goes down, you have nothing.
Visual studio is licensed per user. Yes, you can install it on the RDP server and all users could use it if they are part of the correct groups. But from a licensing point of view, you would be non compliant. It would be us to you to manage the users and
make sure that there are enough licenses for all users.
How, and if this applies to other programs depends on the licensing terms of those programs. Some software is per user. Some is per concurrent user, and some is per computer. You have to check this for each program you want to install on the computer.

Changes to the Web Service publishing process (Operationalization)

With the new release of Azure ML features, we are updating the web service publishing workflow. Below are the list of changes:
Web Service Input / Output modules: these replace the input and output ports previously used to create web services. You can now drag and drop them on the experiment from the left pane under Web Services (instead of right-clicking on the module).
Generation of Scoring experiment from Training experiment: We have automated the steps in creating a Scoring experiment by adding the Web service input and output modules, and automated the saving of the Trained model. With this feature, you no longer need
to manually save a trained model and add it to a Scoring Experiment. The "Create Scoring Experiment" button will trigger these events and generate the Scoring Experiment for you. The resulting Scoring experiment can be published as a web service
as is, or user can make modifications to the generated workflow including location of input/output modules.
To use this feature:
  ○ Create a Training Experiment (includes an algorithm such as Boosted Decision Tree and a Train Module)
  ○ Click Run
  ○ Click Create Scoring Experiment
  ○ Review the resulting Experiment, then Click Run
  ○ Then click Publish Web Service
A sample Training Experiment:
Publishing a Training experiment as a web service:Similar to the Scoring experiment, we have now automated the steps to create a web service from the Training experiment using the "Prepare web service" command button. This action adds Web service
input and output modules to the training experiment. The experiment can then be published as a web service. This approach to creating a web service is needed for setting up the Trained model for retraining using the Retraining APIs. But is not the recommended
approach for creating web services - Scoring experiment should be used for that purpose.
Publishing an experiment as a web service: in cases where the experiment does not involve training, such as when processing, transforming and cleaning up data, it can also be published as a web service using the "Prepare web service" button.
We will publish more detailed documentation for this and other features shortly. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
The Azure ML Team

Hey Freppas, can you give some more information about your first ask? For classifiers, we already output the scored probability along with the scored label. You can limit the output to just the probability using the Project Columns module to exclude unwanted
columns. The web service is not concerned with domain-specific functionality - it will output exactly what you see being output in Studio when you set up the web service ports
The second ask is something we're working on bringing to our product - feature importance. Again, you would have to make it happen in the Studio before you publish the web service for the web service to have that functionality

Change size hyperion shared services log file

Hello Experts,
I´d like to change (decrase) the size of the sharedservices_security.log.
There are always 5 files sharedservices_security.log + sharedservices_security.log.2 - sharedservices_security.log.5 (size of one file is 51,201 kb).
How can I change the sharedservices_security.log size?
We have EPM 11.1.1.3 (Essbase / HFM / Planning) on WINServer2003.
Thanks a lot
Regards
kfor

Have a look at <HYPERION_HOME>\deployments\<app_server>\SharedServices9\config\HSSLogger.properties
Look at the MaxFileSize parameter for each log.
Restart web app if you make any changes
Cheers
John
