Creating data server for Hyperion Shared Services (HSS)

Hey Gang,
Has anyone had experience in creating a Data Server for Hyperion Shared Services (HSS) using the java API? I know HSS uses Native Directory, but to be compliant the Hyperion folks recommend using the java API strictly to get access to the users, groups, etc.
Anyone have experience with this, or perhaps at least how to get ODI to kick off a java file to pull the data needed? What effort would be needed in ODI, is it straight forward or would I have to develop a technology or something to integrate into ODI?
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply John. I am trying to get user and group information, and also doing some complex manipulation. I need this to verify user access and some other stuff. I will not always have access to HSS and cannot always export the information, thus the need to use the HSS java API.
I'm trying to pull it out of HSS and put it into an Oracle table in a standard format where I'll use the information and do reporting off of it. I've developed a java class that does migrates the data over, but its crude and I'd like to move it into ODI with some of our projects that are currently doing the same thing with other ERP such as Ebiz and Peoplesoft.
If I can recode some of the java in ODI, how would I go about doing that. Where would I include the libraries, etc.? is there a tutorial or a place where I can get started on that.
Thanks for all the help.

  • What should i put in Schme while creating Data server for XML

    I am new to XML and ODI also.
    I was trying to create a data server for XML technology.
    I don't know what should i specify as a schmea in JDBC URL.
    e.g. jdbc:snps:xml?f=../demo/xml/1/file.xml&ro=false&ldoc=true&case_sens=true&s=LEO_FIZ&dod=true
    here schema is LEO_FIZ, so my doubts is LEO_FIZ is a database schema or what ??
    Please help me out.

    The schema referred to here is going to be used by the XML driver for the instantiation of the temporary schema used for the xml data. It can be any name, I recommend you keep it short, as if you use an external database for the XML data instantiation it is used as a part of the "table" names.

    error information:

    My JDBC url is: jdbc:snps:xml?f=../demo/xml/MOP/MOPEMP.xml&rt=Export&ro=false&case_sens=true&s=EMP

  • Error while creating data server to connect into Hyperion Financial Manag.

    Hi Cezar and others gurus,
    I need some help in the follow issue:
    I imported the technologie HFM (hyperion financial management) and it`s now displayed normally in the Physical and Logical architecture.
    The drivers imported are: HFMdriver.dll
    log4j-1.2.8.jar
    odi_hfm.jar
    odihapp_common.jar
    And also imported the KMs about HFM.
    Everything doing fine but when i try to create a data server into Physical Architecture, and went to test it, two different errors are shown (below).
    i've already read many documentations but they didn't help.
    I have ODI 10.1.3.4.0 and the hyperion server is working fine.
    ODI server, my ODI client and HFM are located in the local machine.
    In the "Topology manager" in "Physical Architecture" under the "Hyperion Financial Management" I try to create "Data Server" and in the definition tab I filled "Name", "Server" (without port), "User", "Password".
    In the JDBC tab I did nothing.
    I go test and the errors appears.
    In the physical schema in the definition tab I cannot fill the items "Application (Catalog)", "Application (Work catalog)" because they don`t have any option and i let them "undefined"
    When i select "Local (no agent)",receive the error:

    Good morning Cts and other gurus,
    Thanks for the answer but i'm still not able to connect to HFM.
    I am getting an error while trying to reverse engineer (this errors is shown at Agent): error ocurred in driver while connecting to HFM [<undefined>] on [apphyp] using user-name [sql_hyp].
    Caused by: com.hyperion.odi.hfm.wrapper.HFMexception: opening HFM application failed. Error code: 0x80046053 [This application is not registered with Hyperion Shared Services. Please contact your administrator]
    You told me that it`s normal the error when i try to test the data server but both Application (catalog) and Application (Work) stay <undefined> and nothing can be select in that section. I guess this should be completed with my existing applications ate HFM.
    Probably, the error mentioned happens because this item "Application" isn`t correct.
    What am i missing?
    Thanks in advance,
    Best regards,
    Daniel Hein

  • Troble configuring Hyperion Shared Services with SQL Server 2005

    I recently installed SQL server (SQL SERVER 2005) in my machine and then am trying to install Hyperion (9.3.1) products. I started with Shared services. It was installed successfully. Problem is occuring when am trying to configure Shared service with SQL database using Hyperion Configuration utility (9.3.1)
    The error which is popping up is
    Unable to connect to the database for the product Hyperion Shared Services.
    Things which I tried from my end
    1. Made sure TCP IP Protocol was enabled in SQL server configuration server.
    2. hypuser was created in SQl server.
    3. hypdb was created in SQL server.
    4. Was having dynamic IP address so install Loopback adapter to obtain Static IP address and port.
    5. Port and IP address was correct.
    Let me know where I am going wrong.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Finally got it fixed firewall settings needed to be change : This document helped me a lot to troubleshoot the issue
    An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)
    This problem may occur when SQL Server 2005 is not configured to accept incoming local and remote connections, which is disabled by default in SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition and also SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. To solve the connection forbidden problem, SQL Server 2005 needs to configure to allow incoming local and remote connections.
    Firstly, ensure that SQL Server 2005 is configured properly to allow incoming connections on the instance of database server, else enable and turn on the local and remote connections setting.
    Click Start button, then go to Programs or All Programs, then select Microsoft SQL Server 2005, followed by Configuration Tools. Click and run the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration.
    On the “SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration” page, click Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections.
    On the “Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections” page, expand Database Engine tree, click Remote Connections.
    Select Local and remote connections, or Local connections only which applicable only if there is no remote system tries to connect to the SQL Server, useful when you just trying to connect and authenticate with the server after installing.
    Select the appropriate protocol to enable to local and/or remote connections environment. To ensure maximum compatibility, select Using both TCP/IP and named pipes.
    Click Apply button when done.
    Click OK button when prompted with the message saying that “Changes to Connection Settings will not take effect until you restart the Database Engine service.”
    On the “Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections” page, expand Database Engine, then click Service.
    Click Stop button to stop the SQL Server service.
    Wait until the MSSQLSERVER service stops, and then click Start button to restart the MSSQLSERVER service.
    Secondly, SQL Server Browser service has to be enabled to allow for local and remote connections if SQL Server 2005 is running by using an instance name and users are not using a specific TCP/IP port number in the connection string.
    Click Start button, then go to Programs or All Programs, then select Microsoft SQL Server 2005, followed by Configuration Tools. Click and run the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration.
    On the “SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration” page, click Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections.
    On the “Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections” page, click SQL Server Browser.
    Select Automatic as the Startup type to start SQL Server Browser service automatically every time system starts.
    Click Apply button.
    Click on Start button to start the service immediately.
    Click OK button.
    Finally, if remote computer needs to connect and access SQL Server, an exceptions in Windows Firewall included in Windows XP SP2 (Service Pack 2), Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista needs to be created. If you’re using third-party firewall system, the exception rules also needed to be created to allow external remote connections to the SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Browser Service to communicate through the firewall, else connections will be blocked. Consult the firewall manual for more details. Each instance of SQL Server 2005 must have its own exception, together with an exclusion for SQL Server Browser service.
    SQL Server 2005 uses an instance ID as part of the path when you install its program files. To create an exception for each instance of SQL Server, you must identify the correct instance ID. To obtain an instance ID, follow these steps:
    Click Start button, then go to Programs or All Programs, then select Microsoft SQL Server 2005, followed by Configuration Tools. Click and run the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
    In “SQL Server Configuration Manager”, click the SQL Server Browser service in the right pane, right-click the instance name in the main window, and then click Properties.
    On the “SQL Server Browser Properties” page, click the Advanced tab, locate the instance ID in the property list.
    Click OK button.
    Then create an exception for SQL Server 2005 in Windows Firewall.
    Click on Start button, the click on Run and type firewall.cpl, and then click OK. For Windows Vista, type firewall.cpl in Start Search box and press Enter key, then click on Allow a program through Windows Firewall link on left tasks pane.
    In “Windows Firewall”, click the Exceptions tab, and then click Add Program.
    In the “Add a Program” window, click Browse button.
    Click the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn\sqlservr.exe executable program, click Open button. MSSQL.1 with is a placeholder for the instance ID that is obtained from previous procedure. Note that the path may be different depending on where SQL Server 2005 is installed.
    Click OK button.
    Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each instance of SQL Server 2005 that needs an exception.
    For SQL Server Browser service, locate the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\sqlbrowser.exe executable program, and click Open button.
    Click OK button.
