Changing essbase connection to another shared services instance on another server

Hi Everybody,
I'm working on 11.1.2.2 EPM platform and i need to change the essbase connection to Shared Services. I want to make it connecting to another instance on another server. So i think to launch the Configurator on the new server to connect the essbase to the new instance. However, what about the existing configuration? Do I need to unconfigure it? Is there a procedure that i could follow?
I hope i was clear... Thank you in advance for each considerations you could make about my issue.
Regards,
Maurizio

Thank you very much John!
It is the solution! Uninstalling Essbase removes the shared services registries so i colud make it point to the correct instance....
Thanks again!
Maurizio

Not able to access the links to Essbase Console, Planning and Shared Servic

Hi,
I am trying to access the links to Essbase Console, Planning and Shared Services but I get the following error message.
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
I tried to restart all the services on all the servers and also restarted the servers but it didn't work.
I found some more errors in the starter file on the Linux box.

Essbase External Security via Shared Services

I have hit a problem with essbase external security via shared services, might be fairly trivial, first time doing this.
In the install guide for essbase 9.3.1 it mentions not to use the user 'admin' when firing up essbase server console mode for the first time if you intend to externalise security to shared services in the future.
I have followed this recommendation and used a different username 'essadmin' for the first time essbase server is started up. While still in native security mode, I sign in via EAS 9.3.1 and create myself another admin account just in case.
I cold backup shared services SQL repository and OpenLDAP repositry before externalising essbase security. Also I backup the essbase sec and cfg files just in case.
Then I start it all up, go into EAS and select to externalise security, this takes a few seconds, and all seems well.
Now in shared services I can see the essadmin user ID and everything appears to be OK. However when I look under the projects node, I see "Analytic Servers:myhost:1", then below that another green icon "Analytic Servers:myhost:1", but when I click on the second green icon I get "Login fails due to invalid login credentials".
What have I done wrong ?

Hi,
I don't think you've done anything wrong. You just need to provision your shared services user with access to Essbase. Right-click on your user, select provision and then give them the required Essbase rights.
Hope that helps,
Gee

"The PowerPivot service application could not connect to the Analysis Services instance"

Hi
I am baffled by this one. I have a PowerShell script I have built up to install PowerPivot, which I have put together by reading various blogs and by picking apart the scripts that come with the PowerPivot installer.
However, once I have built the service app and installed/activated the solutions and features, I get the error "The PowerPivot service application could not connect to the Analysis Services instance" when trying to use it. I can't find any
more detailed messages, even with verbose logging turned on. SSAS\PowerPivot is of course installed and connected to Excel as it should be.
I have tried running the PowerPivot for SharePoint validation tool and it doesn't find anything.
If I install PowerPivot using the PowerPivot for SharePoint installer, then delete the service app and rerun my scripts, everything then works fine.
So there is something the installer is doing that I am not, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. I though it might be permission related, but the official installer installs the service under the farm account, not my BI service account.
Ahaa, I thought, but when I then reinstall the service myself with my scripts, using my BI service account, the service app then works, so I don't think it can be permission related.
Doing a Google search on that message pulls up only one old post (repeated a few times), which talks about using a domain account for the SSAS instance instead of a Local System account - I am using the same domain service account for SSAS, Excel and
PowerPivot already, so that doesn't help me much.
Does anyone have any ideas for me or suggestions on how I might proceed?
Andrew vR

Did you run the "Run PowerPivot for SharePoint Configuration Tool" after installing PowerPivot and did that work okay?

How many users can connect to a shared drive on a non-server workstation?

How many users can connect to a shared drive on a non-server workstation? We're waiting for our server to arrive and in the interum we're using a Pegasus 2 R6 attached to an iMac running Mavericks as our fileserver. It's been sketchy, the connection to the server being dropped once in a while or the inability to mount the drive after a week of success. The Pegasus we're using now will be attached to a server once it arrives. For now I need to figure what's coausing trouble before I commit to this being our main storage as planned. The data is backed up every night so I'm not worried, its the usability issues. 5-7 people are mounting this drive and opening/saving at the same time. Is there a limit to Maverick's fileserving ability that may be causing this? Understandable if so.

The file server in the client version of OS X has a default limit of 10 simultaneous connections. That limit can be raised by installing OS X Server, or lowered by setting a hidden preference. Assuming you've done neither, you may be able to solve the problem temporarily by stopping and restarting file sharing in the Sharing preference pane, or permanently by setting another hidden preference on the server to break idle connections quickly.
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer idleDisconnectOnOff -bool YES
Stop and restart file sharing. To reverse the change, run this command in the same way:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer idleDisconnectOnOff -bool NO
Credit for this solution to ASC member suter:
this file server will not allow any additional users to log on

Essbase not registering with Shared Services in 11.1.2.1

During configuration Essbase is is failing on Register with Shared Services. The configuration was pretty straight forward and all defaults. I ran the diagnostic tool and it came back with connection refused. Essbase is the first (other than Shared Services connection) that I have attempted to configure on this box
We are running an all Windows environment with four separate servers. Shared Services is running on a separate box, connection to the SQL server is working, passwords are correct, username is correct, database is correct, there are no firewalls in place and I can get to Shared Services and workspace, services are running...
Any ideas?

Can Essbase be registered with Shared services if they both belong to different versions

Hi All,
I am analyzing a situation whether Essbase can be registered with Shared services and continue to interact with other components like HFM, FR, Web Analysis, FDMEE, DRM etc, where Essbase will be of one version (possibly 11.1.1.3 or 11.1.2.3) and rest of the products will be of a different version (11.1.2.4). I would like to understand if they can coexists and interact with each other in the same landscape and the possible issues or risks associated with it.
Appreciate your responses
Cheers,

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/oracle-hyperion-epm-system-certific-131801.xls
Based on that the 'official' answer would seem to be "no", but whether it works is another question (I don't know).

Essbase App disappering in Shared Services v 11.1.2.2

We are having an issue where Apps mysteriously disappear from Shared services - it has happened 3 times now. One day they are there and the next day they are not. I have tried to register them in EAS but I receive an error message:
Error: 1051432: Failed to add application [dir_srvA] to project at Shared Services with Error [Application not found.]
We are on the brink of a full roll-out and this is very concerning to me.
Any insight out there?
We run v 11.1.2.2 on an aix 5..3 platform.
Thanks!

Error: 1051432 Failed to add application [appname] to project at Shared Services with Error [Application not found.]
Cause
Security is not synchronized between Shared Services, Essbase and Essbase Administration Services (EAS).
This application does not display in EAS or Shared Services.
Solution
To remove the application from the Shared Services Registry:
1. Backup the Relational Database used by Shared Services.
2. Navigate to \Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem\bin.
3. Delete application from registry using command from cmd window:
epmsys_registry deletecomponent #{appname}_EssbaseCluster-1_1.ESBAPP
4. Create the application in EAS.
Hope it helps...

Problem assigning Essbase Security filters in Shared Services

We recently upgraded Planning/Essbase to System 9 version 931 in Test. Everything went smoothly except for few users Security didn't migrate properly.
In Shared Services, it shows that user has access to Planning & Native Essbase Applications. But in Essbase, only Planning Application access is shown.
Also when I try to apply security filters for these users in Native Essbase Applications (in Shared Services), I don't see these particular users.
There is no problem with Planning security, except when I refresh Security from Shared Services in Analytic Admin Console it wipes out Planning Application access in Essbase.
For other users there are no issues. Only for few users this is the problem. I have tried to deprovision user & provision back, but no use.
Please Help

Essbase/Planning security is multi tiered. In Shared Services you setup your groups. You provision your groups with adequate security access. Depending on whether you have updated a cetain .css file(to fix bug) you may have to assign the read, write calc access to the group not just calc, but all three if your users need the access to actually, read, write & calc. of need user to just read & write etc... then you have to go to EAS refresh, run maxl script to assign environment access to user, go back to shared services go into projects assign any needed access to calc & filter groups and essbase is setup. For planning you also have to go to workspace and migrate identities within the security setup for any of your dimensions. this comes into play when adding or removing users as filters are created in planning workspace. I just learned this from one good tech that helped me setup & remove users as I had issues getting them in and out of the system..Now to move on to actually getting security reports that make sense for planning with the associated access. If anyone has the maxl code let me know.

Configuration of 2 Essbase Servers on one Shared Services Server

Hi,
Components Installed:
Essbase Server and Shared Services on 1st Server
Workspace, HFR and Web Analysis Installed on 2nd server. I have configured them and everything is working fine. No issues with this environment.
Requirement:
There is a Essbase server installed on Server 3. Its a Standalone. We want to make use of the Application created here and its security(groups etc) for creating reports through Workspace.
Question: Can I configure this Essabase server to the Shared Services which sits on Server1 (which already configured with Essbase already). If it is, are there any risks that we need to consider here.
Please advise me on this.
Thanks, UB

Thank you so much for your quick solution.
Please correct me If I am wrong here.
1) I need to run the configuration Utility on Server3 and give the same details used for Essbase in Server1. or
Is it ok if I run the Register with Shared services through Essbase Console on Server3 and point to the Shared Services server. I think by doing this, one more Essbase Node created in the Shared Services and the security on Essbase Server 3 can be utilized for generating Reports from Workspace.
Please advice John..
Regards, UB

Deleting application locks shared services account on Oracle Server

Whenever I need to delete an account from within Essbase, ( right click on application delete->application ) the final result is that the HSS account that shared services uses to connect to our oracle server gets locked.
Unlocking it and stop/starting everything resolves the problem, but I would like to stop this from happening.
All other aspects of logging into shared services, etc. admintration, provisioning, all work OK. Just the delete application.
On Redhat Linux, Essbase 11.1.1.3

The bottom line is that we don't certify running Forms using the features of a terminal server to serve up any part of those Forms. That doesn't mean it does not work, but its not certified or supported.

Connect Azure Pack to Service Bus for Windows Server with Custom DNS

Hello! I'm trying to configure Azure Pack to use Service Bus for Windows Server 1.1 with Custom DNS.
All runs on one virtual machine (Windows Server 2012 R2) in Windows Azure.
I following this post:
roysvork.wordpress.com/2014/06/14/developing-against-service-bus-for-windows-1-1
Replace FramDNS "servicebus" to "mymachine.cloudapp.net", and create certificate:
SelfSSL /N:CN=mymachine.cloudapp.net /V:1000 /T
On Windows Azure Virtual Machine:
1.I'll set publuc DNS: mymachine.cloudapp.net
2.Open ports: 10354,10355,10356,10359,10000-10004
3.In hosts file: 127.0.0.1 mymachine.cloudapp.net
4.Create certificate:
SelfSSL /N:CN=mymachine.cloudapp.net /V:1000 /T
PowerShell:
Stop-SBFarm –Verbose
Set-SBFarm -FarmDns 'mymachine.cloudapp.net'
Update-SBHost –Verbose
Start-SBFarm –Verbose
New-SBAuthorizationRule -NamespaceName ServiceBusDefaultNamespace -Name MainRule -Rights Manage, Send, Listen
Afther that i can connect to my ServiceBusDefaultNamespace with SAS.
It's work perfect. But, When I try to create Service Bus Namespace from Azure Pack Tenant portal - in Log an Exception:
Namespace Provisioning Exception. TrackingId: . SystemId: . Namespace: SomeNamespace.
Method: Activating. Exception: System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: An error occurred while
sending the request. ---> System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed:
Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. --->
System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: The remote certificate is invalid according
to the validation procedure.
And status of namespace - Activating.
Please help!

Hi Alexander,
According to the log, it seems that the validation process of the certificate failed.
Please make sure that the certificate is installed in the client properly.
Usually, self-signed certificate should be installed in the Computer Account-->Trusted Root Certificate Authorities.
Best Regards.

I think SS work's only under Apache Tomcat
I was try deploy SS 9.2.1 and 9.3.1 on Oracle iAS and Weblogic 9.2.MP1
and have similar error.(- can't register planning application)
But Planning and EAS on Oralce and Weblogic works fine .
p.s. OiAS - it's closed product - use Weblogic for new ENV.
If you need detaled instruction for setup - please read documentation
