Clone Essbase Instance

Hi,
What is the best way to Clone a Essbase Instance?
Victor

Hi,
Could you expand on "clone" a little bit more? Maybe describe the business need/requirement?
That said, you could just copy all the apps out and migrate them over to the new instance by saving off the outline, objevts and data?
Or you could use LCM to pull the apps via Shared Services and then export the data as well.
Bit more detail would help us give you a better answer!

Reentrant shared clones between instances Memory Usage

Hi guys.
I have a question on the Reentrant shared clones between instances.
I understand the concept of Reentrant shared clones between instances, Next clone get into the memory after a clone get out the memory.
My question is that how many instances of clone can run simultaneously? How much memory is allocate for Reentrant shared clones between instances?
If I use call Vi by reference as show in the the figure, will it open more than one VI and keep it in the memory.

You might be just a bit confussed about clones, clone pools, and that option 0x80 setting.
Your code as written will cause an error to subsequent calls unless the vi has finished first.
Combining the 0x80 flag with ox40 prepares the vi to be called reenterant so each call to the modified vi will casue one dataspace to be checked out of the clone pool. The default is one dataspace per core in the clone pool, that can be increased (but not decreased) with the populate async call pool method.
Each time that sub vi runs another dataspace is checked out of the clone pool. If none are avalable additional dataspaces are created on the fly. this takes time you will notice.
The sub-vi is responsible for returning the dataspace to the clone pool when it finishes.
As far as how many can be in memory at one time. how much memory can your application access and how much memory does your vi's dataspace take?

How to Clone Hyperion Instance

Hi we have recently implemented Hyperion.
Now we have a requirement to clone Hyperion Instance.
Is there any one who can help me out by giving some notes/steps to clone Hyperion PRD instance to DEV instance.
Thanks in advance.

Is that DRM you are referring? or any other EPM Application?

Is it possible to clone an instance without any data?

Hi,
Is it possible to clone an instance without any data?
Say I want to clone an instance to make a new instance on some other server so that the new clone will be same like a fresh installation without any customization and data in it.
Thanks

EBS with empty database
One option you have is to do another fresh install, apply all of the patches that have been applied on the current instance, then use iSetup to migrate your setups from source to target.

How to clone generic instance variables?

Hi guys,
If I have private class Item<T>
        private T value;
        private int priority;
        public Item(T value, int priority)
            this.value = value;
            this.priority = priority;
        @Override
        public Object clone()
            try
                Item copy = (Item)super.clone();
                copy.value = (T)value.clone();       //compiler errors, says: "clone has protected access in java.lang.Object"
                return copy;
            catch (CloneNotSupportedException e)
                return null;
    }So if the instance variable is of mutable type e.g. Person, how can I make sure that value.clone() is called on a Person object?

Multiple Essbase Instance

hi,
I need to create new Hyperion Instance but I don't have enough server resources
Is it possbile to install 2 Oracle DB and 2 essbase in one server
did anyone configure this kind of setup, multiple instance in one server
cheers

hi,
Yes I agreed on that aspect to put one instance per server for better server utilization
Is there any notes that discuss the best architecture for Hyperion, hope you can provide one
It will help me present to our management the pros and cons of putting multiple instance in 1 server
But it is possbile to put multiple Essbase and Oracle instance in one server right? In case they will not use the instance at the same time
We intend to put Test and Training Instance in one server, but Training instance will up during Training session only
hope to get good recommendation from you
thanks in advance

Two Essbase instances vs two applications

Hi,I am trying to determine which would be better from a performance perspective:I have to create two applications in Essbase and I have one windows 2000 server. Is it better:a. to run two instances of Essbase on the same windows 2000 server with one application running on each instance orb. to run 1 instance of Essbase on the windows server and run both applications in that instanceThanks

It depends on the version of Essbase you are using. If you are on 6.2 or above, you can change the default listening port for the Essbase agent and application server processes, which allows you to have multiple instances on the same box.An easier way to run multiple servers on one box might be to use technology like VM Ware or Microsoft Virtual PC - they allow you to create a virtual machine which can have its own Essbase install, with your production Essbase environment running on the "base" OS.RegardsJade-------------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

Two Essbase instances on the same box

Hi folks,I was wondering if it is possible to have two instances of Essbase running on the same box (Win 2K server). We want the dev and the test environments to be logically seperate but physically on the same server.Thanks a lot for your help.

Essbase instances

If we have essbase 1 and essbase 2 in same environment.
Essbase 1 will be for Essbase Only applications, where in Essbase2 will
deploy planning apps on it.Essbase 2 box will also have Planning installed.
Both essbase servers will share partitions.
Do you agree to this architecture? will it improve performance for our client?
What pros and cons you see with this model?

Sorry which company do you work for?
All your previous questions looked like exam questions and you didn't take the time to even bother to mark them helpful, correct, answered.

Installing Multiple instances of Essbase on a single machine

Dear gurus,
I have done the vanilla installation of Hyperion Suit of Products (11.1.2.2) on my VM machine (windows 2008 SP1, Its a Virtual Machine) ( I installed Foundation, EAS and just Essbase)
My First Essbase instance is running on default port 1423, and I tried to configure the second instance of Essbase using port 1424 and all donfiguration went successful. I can see the 2nd service of essbase up and running at services.msc
I followed the steps mentioned at:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_11121/frameset.htm?essbaseAgentPortPanel.html
My 1st instance is installed at: D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1
My 2nd instance is installed at: D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem2
Now the problem is that, I am able to Add and Connect to 1st instance of Essbase (SERVERNAME:1423) using the admin account in EAS,
but when I try to add the 2nd Instance of Essbase as SERVERNAME:1424 using admin account , It throws following error:
Error on the EAS console:
admin    October 8, 2013 2:29:21 PM IST    com.essbase.eas.admin.defs.AdminCommands.AddServerToUserList    Succeeded

FAILED
EAS: Essbase Server
Validating Essbase Server connection to SERVERNAME
Error: Cannot sign on as user already signed on.
Recommended Action: Check Essbase Server is started.
Can you please guide me what needs to be done to access this 2nd instance.
1) Do I need to have a separeate ADMIN user creation for this 2nd essbase instance? if Yes, then HOW?
2) Can I just copy the essbase.sec of 1st instance to 2nd instance?
Can You please point me to a some reference to have multiple independent instances of Essbase on same machine?
I sincerely thanks for your time to this request.
Warm Regards,
Amit

Super John,
Sincere thanks for your quick response As Suggested ,
I just followed the following steps and it worked
1) Run the "Stop server" (a shortcut on the desktop) to STOP the services
2) Run the D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem2\bin\stopEssbase.bat   to STOP the 2nd instance
3) Run the D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\bin\stopEssbase.bat   to STOP the 1st instance
4) For 2nd instance rename the Essbase.log and essbase.sec file to some dummy names e.g. like Essbase_old.log and essbase_old.sec
5) Now Run the "Start Server" (desktop shortcut)
6) Run the D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem2\bin\startEssbase.bat   to START the 2nd instance
7) Run the D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\bin\startEssbase.bat   to START the 1st instance
8) Add the 2nd and 1st instance to EAS
Warm Regards,
Amit Porwal

Multiple production instances - KScope follow up

Had this posted on Network 54 and it was recommended that I post here as well.
During one of the lunch and learn sessions at KScope I texted in a question about multiple instances in production. It seemed there was some confusion to the question so I thought expanding the question with additional details here may provoke some additional conversation on the topic.
We are currently running a single essbase instance with active - passive clustering in production on 11.1.2.1 (considering 11.1.2.3 for next year). For example purposes lets say we have two business areas sharing the instance each with 50 applications for a total of 100 applications. Things run very smoothly most of the time, but from time to time during peak usages the single threaded nature of the security file can slow things down. My thought was to run two instances of Essbase, one for each business area, one active on server A and one active on server B. They would each have there own failover to the other server.
Current Set-up
Server A
Active
Instance 1
100 applications
Server B
Passive
Instance 1
Proposed Setup
Server A
Instance 1 active - 50 applications
Instance 2 passive
Server B
Instance 1 passive
Instance 2 active - 50 applications
I have seen that you can setup multiple instances on a server, but have also seen that it is not recomended for production. Are they considering this scenario when they do not recommend it or are there other reasons. I am fine if both instances fail to the same server as we run all applications on one server now and have plenty of memory. Also, we would have separate file systems and a separate port for the second instance (our end users do not know the port bases on their log in today so that will not be an issue). Are there any concerns with this approach, has anyone else tried it? We have successfully done this in our development region, but that does not have the usage on it that production has. It also seems a waste to have all the processors and memory sitting on server B not doing anything - we are paying for it why not use it.
Some additional information that was requested.
This is in addition to DR and having failover is required based on internal audit/IT standards.
We have a NAS device and understand that is still a single point of failure and is likely a bottleneck, which is why we archive any modified databases each night along with packaging up rules and calc scripts.
The servers are UNIX with 48 cores and 256+ Gig of Ram.
About half or more of the databases require write back.
Thanks Andy

We have implemented similar solutions to take advantage of a server that otherwise be redundant for the majority of the time and it does work well, I have not personally done this type of configuration on unix using OPMN but have on windows using failover clusters, I feel OPMN is a bit poor in terms of management and lacks functionality so maybe worth considering Oracle clusterware depending on the flavour of Unix.
You could also look at look at virtualisation options as an alternative.

Problem with Microsoft SSRS connecting to Essbase

Hello specialists,
I'm having an issue when i try to connect SSRS to Essbase.
My SSRS version is 2008 R2, Essbase version is 11.1.2.1 OS version is Windows server 2008R2 and I'm running SQL server 2008 R2.
I'm using the XMLA connector from SSRS to connect to Essbase, The message error message i get back when i preview the report is this one:
+"An error ocurred during local report processing. cnnot read the next data row for the dataset "year". The server sent an unrecognizable response. Unable to Format XML according to declared type. Input string was not in correct format."+
Previously I was using another Essbase instance to connect to the server and it was working alright, when i changed to the correct one, the one form the specified server the error appeared.
When i test the connection with the new server it works alright. Here are the versions of the analytic provider services:
11.1.2.0.0.615 - The one that's not working
11.1.2.1.00.353 - The version that is working.
Hope you can help me because the old machine is about to be disabled and i will have to stop my work if I don't happen to get the new connection working asap.
Thanks for the help :)
Best regards!

So I finally found how to use printStackTrace and here is what it gives when:
1) I use my own computer:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
     at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)
     at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(Unknown Source)
     at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(Unknown Source)

     at java.net.Socket.<init>(Unknown Source)
     at java.net.Socket.<init>(Unknown Source)
     at temp.main(temp.java:11)
2) I use something else:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
     at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)
     at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(Unknown Source)
     at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(Unknown Source)

Again, thanks

Migrate Oracle Apps Instance from one server to another

Hi All,
We are planning on migrating our Production Oracle Apps Instance(11.5.10.2 and 9.2.0.8) on HP Tru64 UNIX OS on one server to a different server(Node name change) with the same OS. This is a single node, single OS user instance(Apps and DB on the same box). Can you please give me a brief idea on how to go about doing this?
Thank you.
Edited by: Ora_Apps_DBA on Jul 5, 2011 12:50 PM

Since you will be using the same OS, then you can simply use Rapid Clone to migrate the Application/Database.
Rapid Clone Documentation Resources, Release 11i and 12 [ID 799735.1]
Make sure you have all OS pre-req. software and packages installed on the target nodes before you clone the instance.

When to clone both appl and Db.

Hi,
I have 10g DB and R12.0.6 ebs PROD we use to clone TEST instance as of PROD when developers or consultants request for a TEST instance same as PROD.
My Question is.
What are the scenario in which :
1)I need to clone only DB and just run autoconfig on Appl.
2)I need to clone both DB and Appl.
3)if there's any business setups like budget are done in prod , then if we need a clone do i need to clone both DB and Appl. or just DB is enough.
4) what if no patch is applied to appl since last clone.
Reg

1)I need to clone only DB and just run autoconfig on Appl.>> It basically means you are refreshing db only. Ideally when you are aware that you have not done any changes on application files on source then you can take this route.
2)I need to clone both DB and Appl. >> When you want every changes i.e. wether on apps filesystem or in db to be replicated i.e. suppose you have moved a code fix in live that includes a change in form, report and some code compilation in database, now you need complet clone to see changes in test.
3)if there's any business setups like budget are done in prod , then if we need a clone do i need to clone both DB and Appl. or just DB is enough.>> Not sure but cloning whole is always benifical.It means you are in sync with data and files on apps tier.
4) what if no patch is applied to appl since last clone. >>You might have changed some fmb's, reports etc etc but if you are sure no changes are made then you can refresh db only.
Thanks,
JD
