Creating Essbase applications (cubes) dynamically

Hi
Could anybody tell me how to create multiple copies of an existing Essbase application automatically please?. I could do this manually in the Administration console. Is there any scripting language that can be used for building these multiple applications with the same structure as the existing application? I look forward to hearing from you Essbase experts!
Regards
Chandra

You can use MaxL scripting language to copy the application and its properties.
I believe the syntax is:
create application NEW as CURRENT;
This creates an application that is a copy of the CURRENT application.

No.of folders for Essbase Application

Hello,,,
Im new to this tech. I just want to know how many folders and files will be generated at the time of creating Essbase Application?
and how many folders and file will be created at the time of Hyp Planning Application??

I'm not sure if this is directly related to your specfic problem. But I know that Tomcat 5.5.23 is missing a properly formed jar file called "naming-factory.jar". And as of this date, it is not clear to me that they have released a fixed build. So it is recommended that you download version 5.5.17 and obtain the file "naming-factory.jar" and copy it into the CATALINA/common/lib directory of your 5.5.23 installation.

***Error while creating tne applications in Essbase***

Hi all,
We are getting the following error while creating the applications in Essbase console ( we are using Oracle EPM 11.1.1.2 on vmware 2003 server).
Error: 1056603 Unable to spawn process for application. Please ensure that adequate memory is available.
Kindly have insight on this error and advise on the same.
Expecting assistance very soon as it is of urgent requirement we are in amidst of processes
Thank you.

Hi Mink,
Thanks for ur quick reply.
I am working with vmware,I have allocated 1.5GB of RAM and it has 20GB of disk space is available.
Is there anything else that I need to check?Its not becoz of Memory I assume.

Projects dropped from shared services when creating an essbase application

When we try to create an essbase application via EAS - there is an error message Unable to createExternalUser. then when we log in to shared services - there are no projects available.
This is for version 9.3.1.0

Hi Cameron,
many thanks for your answer.
Well let me explain a little bit further:
I created an own security module which manages the whole security in Essbase. I get the grants from a corporate system and then just apply them by some definitions natively in Essbase using filters etc.
To make sure the grants on the server are exactly the same as the grants that get delivered to me, I export the complete security in Essbase using MaxL and import it to a relational DB. I then check whether there are any grants which shouldn't be there and vice versa.
If now an admin user creates an application, he gets an additional application manager grant for this application. He does not loose his admin permissions.
Now in my check this application manager grant pops up as this grant is not in the corporate system but created Essbase internally when a application is created.
If I export the complete security this application manager grant is there.
I would like to get rid of these errors in my check. Also it makes no sense that an admin user gets an Application Manager grant because he already has that permission as an admin user.
I already searched the documentations but didn't find a setting to disable this behaviour of Essbase.
Btw. Essbase version is 11.1.1.3.
Maybe someone of you guys know if there is any chance to do this - if not, I have to find another solution.
Thanks and kind regards,
Thomas

Is there any to find out when was the essbase application created ?

Hi Gurus,
Is there any to find out when was the essbase application created ?

Unix record the last modified date for the file/directory , but noe the date created for the files.
Is there anywhere this information is recorded in the Hyperion system ,,,like say Shared services tables...
I was just guessing that if i could find out the date when the Applicaiton was registered to the shared services, how can we check that ?

Creating a application dynamically for a component

Hi,
Does any one know how to create an application dynamically for a component, so without using SE80?
I already found class cl_wdy_md_application, but I do not know if this is the right direction. Maybe somebode already solved this issue.

Hi Thomas,
In SRM it is possible to call own made webdynpro components and fill them with data, and then process these data into a new shopping card. This can be done by filling a so called HOOK_URL. In SRM you have to do customizing and fill in the URL to be used of the WebDynpro application. So far, still no problems.
I have built a component by which an user can fill several Z tables and then he can display a form he has made by himself (a so called free order form). So the component will check all Z tables, and generate in one view, the context dynamically as also the layout dynamically. In all Z tables one field has been used as one of the keyfields and that is free order form name and this is also a parameter of the application so that this application knows which data to get from the Z tables to generate a form.
And because it is possible to generate more then one forms, I have create per form 1 application with the specific parameter, and this URL can be entered in the customizing of SRM.
This application creation I did myself, but now I want to accomplish, when the user creates a new form by filling specific tabels via webdynpro, that he can generate the application by himself.
Maybe I can create a FM/BAPI for the BDC recording and then call this from my web dynpro application as there is no API.
Do you maybe have another solution?

Essbase Application Restore Issue.

Hi All,
I am trying to copy an Essbase Application from a distant install. I have been provided the contents of the 'app' directory of the remote server. After copying to my Essbase server instance 'app' directory, I am trying to restore by creating a new application in EAS with the same name. But I get the below error:
*Error: 1002097 Unable to load database [PFTAPRFT].*
This application has 20 DBs. If I remove the PFTAPRFT folder from the app directory, it gives the same error on another database. All this while I try to create the application as BSO. But when I try to create the same using ASO option, I get a different error as below:
*Error: 1002112 Unable to convert outline [D:\EPMhome11G\user_projects\epmsystem1\EssbaseServer\essbaseserver1\APP\ACCPROFT\PFTAPRFT\PFTAPRFT.otl], verification failed*
I also tried not to place these applications in the 'app' directory and manually create the application, outline and load data using files, but that cube did not show any measures and was showing all values as '#MISSING'.
Can some one please point me on what I am missing here to able to move the application successfully from one Env to another ?
-Sandeep.

why dont you check with your server team(windows/unix) to revert it back as your applications are getting effected & ask them to first apply on Dev/QA servers and then test, if everything is ok, then move it to Prod.
Are you sure that before restore you always change the app/db settings(uncheck allow users to start,etc) and stop the application, then try to restore full application or only DB also fine as you are not going to change anything on app files.....

How to create an holap cube??

hi all...
i want to create an holap cube...
how do i start with???

Find the below high level information.
You need Essbase Integration services to develop the HOLAP cubes.
Build the physical OLAP Model(A star schema model) in the relational database layer with finer level of detail.
Import the physical model as logical OLAP Model into the EIS.
Based on the Logical OLAP Model, build the meta outline and set the level of detail required and enable the heirarchies for hybrid analysis.
Once you build the cube, in the essbase details are available as you set in the meta outline and further details are available in the relational database.
Set the HAENABLE to True for the Application and database in the essbase.cfg.

Creating Planning Application on 9.3.1

I'm new to Hyperion Planning and I've trouble creating an application on Workspace.
I want to create a multi-currencies application. Before I creating the application on Workspace, I've created a database in SQL server and instance, created datasource via Configuration Utility. After creating the SQL database and datasource, I went to Workspace->Navigate->Administer->Classic Application Administration-> Planning Administration. I entered required information and selected corresponding datasource and instance, etc. When I was done, I clicked "finish". However, after a few seconds, an error occurred. The error message is "an error occurred while processing this page. Check the log for more details." I looked through the log files in Hyperion folder. I couldn't find a log which describes Hyperion Planning activities. The login ID I used has "application creation" right in Shared Services.
Does anyone come across similar issue? What are the possible resolution to the problem? What log file does the error message refer to?
Appreciated if someone could shred some light on this.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi,
look if the cubes exist in essbase. If they exist delete them and retry to deploy the application.
Is the User in Shared Services Native Directory or is it external authenticated? I had to use one from Native Directory to do that.

My essbase applications are constantly getting corrupted

Hi, I have several essbase applications and for some reason, I don't know why, they are getting corrupted very often. It is very strange. The thing is that when this happens, I have to create another application, with a different name and buiild and import all data into the cube in order to have my information. The other application (corrupted) is unavailable and cannot delete it from the EAS. Some days after this, the application that I created instead of the first one, gets corrupted again and I have to do the same thing once again in order to have my information.
Has this happened to someone else? Does someone know why this happen and how to solve it??
Thanks!!!!

Thanks... im working with EAS 9.3.1, all my applications are block storage, when I try to load information into my cube, it says Network error, cannot send / recieve data. It is not a network problem because I can still load information in other cubes. After this, I can't load information. I try to stop the application, and then start it again, and it won't let me. It says, cannot load database. This is when I know my cube is corrupted.
After this, i can't even delete it from the EAS. Here is when i have to create another application and do everything again. Until now, I have 5 versions of my application and only the last one works.
In the xcp files, I can't find something relevant.
thanks

After Upgrade from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2 Essbase Application Not Shown in Calculation Manager

I have upgraded from EPM 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2 and now want to import Business Rules to Calculation Manager for use with Essbase.
However I cannot see my Essbase Application in Calculation Manager; (only the provided sample applications are shown in the hierarchy)
How do I check my configuration? How does Calculation Manager connect to Essbase and find my app?
I haven't knowingly altered Essbase server/port details during the upgrade as I opted not to re-host.

Yes the EAS schema was upgraded by the configurator.
I ran upgrade_ps2.sh (unix) without changing any configuration just to see what it does and (after I had to manually create the directory structure for the log file) it created an HBRrules.xml file successfully fo the first time under EPMData/planning (The missing log file directory structure may have been why the configurator didn't create the HBrrules.xml file at the first attempt during the Planning upgrade)
Anyway not entirely sure where upgrade_ps2.sh got its rules information but the file it created was very similar to the HBR file exported from EAS prior to starting the upgrade.
I attempted a 'migrate' again with Calculation Manager but still get the "No objects were found in the document for importing", i.e. kind of back to square one.
I really need to understand what is Calc Managers problem?
Q .What server should the upgrade_ps2.sh be run on? Planning or Shared Services? (I did it in on both)
Q. How can I get Calc Manager to tell me more with logging or tracing somehow?
Any other suggestions gratefully received
Many Thanks

Error upon starting an Essbase Application

Good day Guys,
I'm having problems on starting an Essbase application. When I try to start the application, I get this error message:
*Cannot load application [App Name] with error number [1052003] - see server log file.*+
I tried the solutions in the Error Message Reference but to no avail. I increased the NETDELAY and NETRETRYCOUNT, I restarted Essbase server.
Anyone please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have one reverse approach for your problem, open EAS console copy the application databases to some other application folder in EAS. Once you are done with this delete the database of the application, please be sure you are deleting the database which is having the issue now start the application. Now log on to he Planning and deploy the application from Planning to Essbase by manage database in Administration module.
Once this is done come back to the EAS console here you will see a new database is created in the application folder, now you can compare the older database with the new database which is newly created. This will help you in determining what may be the issue.

Error while creating the application

Hi all,
I have created a planning application by using a name(say APP).
I have deleted that application from the essbase administration services and i have deleted,updated
few data from the planning tables which were having the app_id same as APP.
Now when i am creating the same APP application from the workspace it is showing error,but if I am
changing the application name from APP to some other name it is creating the application successfully.
But I want to create the application with the same name APP.
How can i do it?
Thanks

Hi,
First of all why did you take that route to delete the application.
You should be able to delete the application from the same place you created it.
You said you deleted some data from tables, what data did you remove and what tables.
The reason why you can't create the application with the same name is probably because you have not removed it correctly.

How to create an application with a 'Windows' like interface?

Hi,
I am trying to create an application with an windows like interface where menu selections need to open bound taskflows in a page/window but i can not get it to work. I did the following
- i created a page template with a panelStretchLayout
- added a menuBar with commandMenuItems
- created a start page based on the template
- created bound taskflows with page fragments for all menu items
- placed a dynamic region on the start page which initially shows a taskflow with an empty/blank page fragment
- change the dynamic region taskflow from every menuitem and added partial triggers on the dynamic region for every menu item
When i run the application the first empty page fragment is showed correctly but when i select a menu item the correct new page fragment is showed but it keeps showing a loading data .... hint and seems to freeze. So no data is showed while the underlying datacontrols work while using the bc tester.
Besides this problem i am wondering if i at all am going the right way with this with using a dynamic region? In the final application i will have a total of about 25 menu items over several menus and if they all will be showing in one main dynamic region with partial triggers set to all menu items it may get a bit complex? I saw you can also create a window in a popup which i like even more because it looks like an actual window but this is modal. I would like a bound taskflow to be opened whenever a menu selection is made.
Any pointers or tips or the solution to not showing data?
Kind Regards,
Andre

Hi Sascha,
If have not encountered that problem. Are you sure you have a taskflow entry under the executables tag in the page definition of the page which has the dynamic region on it? I have one like this:
<taskFlow id="dynamicRegion1" taskFlowId="${DynamicRegionBean.dynamicTaskFlowId}" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/controller/binding"/>
During the selection of its initial value when it is rendering for the first time it should have the session bean already initialized. My bean looks like this:
public class DynamicRegion {
private String taskFlowId = "/WEB-INF/startTF.xml#startTF";
public DynamicRegion() {
public TaskFlowId getDynamicTaskFlowId() {
return TaskFlowId.parse(taskFlowId);
public String feitenTF() {
taskFlowId = "/WEB-INF/feitenTF.xml#feitenTF";
return taskFlowId;
public String themasTF() {
taskFlowId = "/WEB-INF/themasTF.xml#themasTF";
return taskFlowId;
public String feitCategorienTF() {
taskFlowId = "/WEB-INF/feitCategorienTF.xml#feitCategorienTF";
return taskFlowId;
The startTF is the initial taskflow and the other methods are being called from my menu. The dynamic region has the menu items as partial triggers. That is all i did.
Kind Regards,
Andre
