Copying user access in Hyperion Planning

Hi All,
I am supposed to copy the one user access to another user...I know we can copy user access to a newuser or existing user in Essbase....Is this possible in Hyperion planning 4.0..??Please let me know..
Regards,
Prabhas

If you dont have access setup by groups, there is no easy way. Well.. what i am suggesting is relatively easy but you need planning server access for this.
1. Export all security using exportsecurity.cmd, you can set parameters to make sure you are exporting exactly what you need.
2. find the user whose access you want to copy.
3. replicate these rows for new user.
4. then run importsecurity.cmd to import access for new user.Where these Exportsecurity.cmd,Importsecurity.cmd statements available ? and How to use those in Planning web ?
Please suggest

  • Access to particular member combination in Hyperion Planning

    Hi All,
    Hyperion Planning cube has costcenter dimension and Entity(Location) dimension. We have an issue where a user requires access in Hyperion planning
    User wants access to
    ·         Entity A to a particular costcenter CC1 and
    ·         Entity B to all costcenters
    If all costcenters are provided access, User will be able to view all costcenters for Entity A also.
    Kindly let me know if any one of you have faced this kind of requirement and have any solution.
    Thank you!

    Hi Sowjanya,
    Access can restricted at Cost Center level basically access is maintained on four dimensions SAVE-Scenario,Account,Version and Entity But in your scenario it can be acheived by doing something like in the form have a additional row/column for custom dimension and input some random numbers which will be something like
    Entity A -> Cost Center A1= 12
    Entity A -> Cost Center A2=13
    Entity A -> Cost Center A3=14
    Entity B -> Cost Center A1= 12
    Entity B -> Cost Center A2= 13
    Entity B -> Cost Center A3= 14
    Which ever the combination you wanted to hide make it as #missing and try to supress rows having #missing , its just a rough logic i can give as i had this idea coming to my mind but didnt implement.
    This is incase if there is a single for for submission and review etc and if it needs to be acheived  through adhoc analysis as well , not sure of the implementation . Happy to see different approaches.
    Thanks

  • Hyperion Planning User Preferences

    Hi All,
         Is there any way to automate the selection of user variables in Hyperion planning.
    for e.g if admin defines a user variable to all users. The users need to go preferences each time to set the variable. is there any utility in planning which the admins can use to apply the variables to each user. so when the user login, he need not go to preferences and set it.
    Would highly appreciate your reply.
    Thanks.

    You can have a look at HSP_USER_VARIABLE_VALUE, you will get a little hint from Cameron's Blog For Essbase Hackers: Stupid Planning queries #7 -- User Variables

  • Copy version option disable from Planning

    Hello All, I have read the below given thread and got the answer but its two year old post and there are so many changes in planning system. Can we disable copy versions option from Planning tools menu ?
    or is there any way we can limit the access to users ?

    ... one year later, I wish to re-open this subject. Especially in Office 2007 Environment.
    Does anyone find a solution to desactivate in SMARTVIEW the COPY VERSION menu?
    I see that we can add extension (smartview > Option >extensions) ... maybe it is the way !

  • JAPI/Hyperion Planning

    Hello;At the organization where I'm at, we have several departments. We have users from each of these departments inputting data and we like them to be able to aggregate the results from their input as necessary.I've created a small app using the Visual Basic API which passes a parameter (the user's dept) to a substitution variable on the server for use in a calc script for that dept. This works well for the non-Hyperion Planning users.We also have a group of users using the Hyperion Planning web client. Does anyone know of a good approach to the same thing modifying the .JSP's and making calls through the JAPI? If anyone is doing this, I'd sure like to know more about how you got there. Thanks!Rick [email protected]

    I have been having the same issue, and I'm looking for a real solution. I need to pass the dept from the planning web form to a calc script. I find it very inefficient to calculate a large portion of the database each time a department is updated and do not want multiple forms/calc scripts to manage. If anyone has a solution, I would love to hear it. Even if it involves modifying JSPs or using the JAPI. This is a major omission of functionality and probably will result in very slow performance and user dissatisfaction. I have over 2000 departments and the org structure changes frequently, so the best solution would be to pass the current deptid to a generic calc script. Please HELP!!!...anyone

  • E-mail notifications in Hyperion Planning

    Hi! In Administration->Application Settings I checked "Enable e-mail notifications" and indicated the name of the Microsoft Exchange Server. I also indicated e-mail addresses for all relevant users both in Hyperion Planning in File->Preferences and in Shared Services in the Native Directory. However e-mail notificaions still do not work. Can anyone give me an idea on what could be wrong or missing in my settings? Thanks a lot in advance!

    Hi, John! I am preparing a small demo for a client and I would like to make some test workflow e-mail notifications through my company's MS Exchange Server to my inbox. I asked our Administrator if our Exchange Server requires authentication and he said yes, it does every time that I log into my inbox - otherwise anyone in our office could watch my e-mail messages which is unaceptable. In all other functions this exchange server does not require authentification. So could you please clarify which kind of authentication you mean and if our Administrator gave me a sufficient answer? As for testing me e-mail from outside of planning, My Administrator said that our Exchange Server is presently in the process of being configured. So, with regard to testing smtp server from outside planning: if you meant just the ability to send/receive messages from outside planning, then it is works fine in my case. Thanks a lot once again! :)

  • Hyperion Planning Licenses

    Hi,
    It may sound naive, but i wold be glad if anyone can help about Hyperion Licensing (i already went through EPM Licensing Guide 11.1.2):
    My doubt is if a client has purchased 25 User license for Hyperion Planning does that mean i can create only 25 users in native directory , if yes what if i want to configure active directory If No, then where does this number 25 will put constraints.
    Appreciate any help.

    I will get in touch with Oracle Account Manager .
    What i understand for now is if there 25 names user licenses , then at a given time i can have 25 provisioned users irrespective of number of native or AD users.
    Will update if i get any more clarifications.
    John thanks gain, your blog/replies/posts have been great help in understanding EPM concepts and resolving doubts.
    Cheers

  • How to find out total of number of users accessing Hyperion Planning applications ?

    Hi All,
    Could someone help me with the details of how to find out total number of users who are accessing Hyperion Planning application in Env.?
    This is with regard to licenses so wanted accurate and unique information,
    Thanks
    Amith

    Hello Amith,
    I think you should have a look at the blog of Cameron Lackpour http://camerons-blog-for-essbase-hackers.blogspot.be/
    In the "Shared Services Stupid Trick" blogs, he shows how to find the real access to an application. The side benefit is that it is amusing to read.
    In how far this is OK for the licenses is written on another page. You likely need to use the same method as Oracle does. Ask the Salesperson how to do this. (I am curious what his/her reply is).

  • Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3: Add New User

    2:      If I am granting access to users via groups, do I need to refresh filters from workspace for any users added to the group through shared services ?
    3:     What happens behind the scenes when I do a "Refersh security from shared services" using EAS ?
    4:     When accessing planning via workspace, the authorisation comes from Shared services ... right ? or is this stored in the relational planning DB ?
    Thanks in anticipation ....
    Cheers!

    1. First thing to start with is to set the  substitution variable: Forecast_Year
    2. Yes, you have to refresh security filters,
    3.  Are you checking both refresh database and security at once: check this document: Error: "1051012 - User xyz does not exist." (Doc ID 987434.1)
    4. Authorization comes from HSS, but the artifacts level security is present in relational database and (for members) Essbase as security filters.

  • Copy and paste cell content of web form of Hyperion Planning

    Our end users encountered performance issues in using the web forms of Hyperion Planning. We have some large web form with 60 columns and 100 rows i.e. around 6000 cells. When end user move around the cell they feel a slow response in the web form especially when copy and paste some cell content from one row to another, or a few cells from one position to other position.
    Anyone got similar experience in using web form? Also we understand that Hyperion design will check the cell content of each cell and generate a SQL query to the backend metadata database. It is quite time consuming and waste CPU resource because most of the time our end user will not keep the text information under each cell. We have consulted Oracle team and understand that we cannot disable the cell content checking via SQL query.
    Any workaround solution exists to reduce or remove the performance issue in cell content copy and paste?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    We had faced the same issue a few years ago. One of our geeks had done a change in either Enterdata.js or Enterdata.jsp which disabled form cell validation. I don't currently have the code with me but it wasn't a big change really, remarking a function could be doing the trick.
    I don't think this is officially recommended by Oracle though.
    AlpThanks for your advice. We will try to locate the enterdata.jsp and enterdata.js and found out where the SQL being executed.We found out the Enterdata.js under the deployment directory of Weblogic. However it is over 400KB size and many many lines of codes. We think that it is very difficult to locate where should be customized to remove the SQL checking on cell content.

  • How to copy and paste from excel in Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.2 using the Mozilla 17 as my browser?

    Hi,
    I'm using Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.2.300 and Mozilla 17 as my web browser, and I'm trying to paste a number from excel directly into a cell in a data form in Hyperion.
    ie. after I copy the figure from a cell in excel, I go to a cell in Hyperion Planning and either press Ctrl+V or use the right-click mouse button on the cell where the Copy/Paste/Cut... menu appears.
    Either way the number is not pasted (nothing happens)
    On the other hand, if I double left-click in the cell (which is used for entering values manually in Hyperion Planning) the number if pasted correctly, however this is not a good workaround.
    Please assist.
    Thank you

    Hi, Theresia
    Yes you're absolutely right, I created VR from the manage form's menu. So I use standard HP 11.1.2 functionality. I've seen it in new features while read Oracle documentation. Also with testing of approvals in Proccess managment I use distinct colours for negatives and diff values (greater 1000 and 100 in my example). Colours work fine, but i can't say it about aprovals :). And all these examples of using planning form VR's i've taken from oracle administrators&user guiide and from presentations of EPM 11.1.2
    In addition I've started work with Hyperion products 2-3 month ago. Hence I have to read a lot of information because my previous experience was OLTP, RDBMS not OLAP.
    As a first step i wanna know all standard possibilities of product i use. And also best practice and some often used technics. Many thanks for your idea with Smart list and BR i'll try it (though i use EMPA and Calc Manager rules). I know that soon I have to use Java API's, so I might read and learn Java to write the simplest code first. But for me it's too much info i have to load into my brain in such short period :)
    As a resume, my opinion it's a bug of new features EPM 11.1.2. But maybe I'm wrong cause none has said the same
    Anyway thanks, Theresia, for your help. If you know or will some new additional info i'll say you thanks again
    Best regards,
    Vladimir

  • Remove access for each member of a particular dimension from Hyperion Planning Applciation

    We are trying to remove access for groups for each member of a particular dimension( which has more than 1000 members) of a Hyperion Planning application. We are going through Administration->Manage DImensions -> member , Under security click view and select the group and then remove access But the problem is there are more than 1000 members under this dimension , so it will be time consuming to go to each member and then remove access for the group. Is there any other way we can do this?
    Also is there a way to bulk delete native directory groups from Hyperion Shared services, instead of deleting each native group manually one by one?

    The reaso we want to go for Relational tables is that when we did Exportsecurity utility for that planning application  and imported back the SecFile.txt without doing any changes ,still it errored out giving errors like :
    "The following access not imported:-"PLN-ORG-0278-999 Bureau Strtgc & Oprtnl ""PLNning",0278-999,READWRITE,MEMBER due toInvalid user name found in the file."
    It is erroing out even if we did not do any modifications to the secfile.txt.
    Moreover there are more than 1000 members for which we have to remove access permissions manually one by one. It is a tedious process.
    So we are looking at other options like , which relational tables have got Native directory groups information, and the sql queires we can execute to remove the unwanted Native directory groups from Shared Services?
