EAS Server in Essbase Plus (EPM11.1.2.2)...

Hi all,
I have installed EPM11.1.2.2 on my computer for testing.
The only part I did not install is Oracle Http Server (Seems that by default Weblogic http Server is installed).
After the configuration steps, I did not see EAS server in the EPM System menu.
I heard that in EPM11.1.2.2, the OPMN process is there for Essbase process and others but I am not sure.
I can start the EAS console but no EAS server is available for starting.
Besides, when I tried to start Essbase...I got an error message related to the installation folder.
Nota: I used the configurator with success.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank in advance

Thank in advanceFirst of all have you installed to a supported OS.
If you deployed all the webs apps to one managed server then EAS will be part of the managed server, if you are on windows there will be a service called "Hyperion EPM Server - Web Application"
In WebLogic the managed server will be called EPMServer0
If the managed has started up without problems then in EAS console you will need to enter the managed server port for EAS as it will not be running under the default port and be running on port 9000, so in EAS console you will need to add <servername>:9000
Essbase will be started up by using the OPMN service.

Based on the beginning of the error output, it looks like port 10080 is already in use. Was the EAS service already running when you tried to start it? Could it be a rogue instance of EAS running that needs to be fully shutdown (perhaps requiring a server reboot at the most extreme). Was some new software installed on the server that may be using the port?

7.1 EAS server crashing after using migration wizard

We have 7.1 Essbase installed with EAS running on a Unix box and the Essbase server running on NT. If we use the migration wizard the EAS server crashes after the migration has run. Has anyone else experienced similar problems ?

Problem solved. The .sec file was copied from a different server and the database storage settings referred to a drive letter that was not available on the 7.1 box. This caused the app to crash and brought down the EAS box as well. I guess I'm a bit surprised that this type of problem causes EAS to terminate as well, given that (most types) of database corruption don't cause 6.x Essbase servers to terminate.

EAS Server installation .

Installed Essbase server on Server computer.(installed Essbase only here)
currently some super users are accessing Essbase sever through EAS console (which needs EAS Server to be start at user side ) .
Which one is the best option for EAS place ??
1. Install at user system , when every user wants to access server through console , user has to start EAS Server. ( currently following like this)
2. Install EAS server on Server system ( where Essbase server is installed) and keeps run (open) all time for users to access from users system.

All I have found on the Hyperion Download Center is the: Hyperion System 9 BI+ Analytic Administration Services Release 9.3.0.2 Microsoft Windows x86 Installer
So I'm not quite sure if it is available.

ODI and Import Data Server in Essbase Error

Hi,
I have added Essbase Technology in Topology Manager. When I am trying to add my Essbase Server under Essbase Technology am getting the error. Here are the steps I have followed.
Trying to add Essbase Server by Import Data Server -- Specified name, username and password
When I click Test it is giving error like
Connection Failed.
java.sql.SQLException: Driver must be specified
Do we need to specify any information under JDBC tab...
Which driver we need to select under JDBC Driver and JDBC Url
Please help me....

Hi,
You will not be able to click the test button when using hyperion technologies, this is because they don't operate using JDBC.
If you have a read of my blog you will see how to set up essbase with ODI

Essbase plus license and Excel Add-In

Hi,
Can we perform lock and Send using Excel Add-In to Planning cubes(BSO cubes) if we have only Essbase Plus license?
Thanks in advance for the reply.

Thanks much for the response. This is really useful.
Let me re-phrase the question. If I have Planning plus license for less number of users(e.g. X) compared to Essbase plus license users (e.g. Y) and all Y number of users want to use Excel add-in for lock and sned will there be any issue?
Thanks again in advance for the response.

EAS server error: Could not connect to administration Server

Hi,
I have installed Hyperion suite in Windows server 2008 R2. It was working fine but now when i tried to login in to the EAS console, I am getting the following error:
"Server Error: Could not connect to administration server".
I tried accessing the same through the web URL and I found "404 error - file or directory not found".
I verified all my services are up and running fine. I am able to connect to the essbase sever through Excel as well as planning.

Hi John,
Sorry for replying late.
I ran the EPM diagnostic and found EAS & APS application are failed. So as you mentioned, i tried re-deployment through EPM configurator.
But Re-configuration fails with error "An unexpected error occurred and the application will have to shut down" .
When i looked in to the Config tool.log,I got the following messages.

Since it is similare to the Oracle konwledge base article - (Doc ID 1570293.1), I tried adding the shared service domain to the Windows host file. But i am still recieveing the same error message as above.
Appreciates your help.

'could not connect to administration server" in essbase console

Hello friends,
while i was trying to login to eas console iam getting this error message as "could not connect to administration server" even after restarting the services.
Thanks in Advance..

Rakesh,
Is this the first time you are trying to log on to EAS console ?
First check if your database is up or not ( with which essbase configuration is done).
If your db services are running, then Go to Oracle EPM system, EAS and Start Administration Services from Start Programs ( I assume you are on 11 and on Windows).
If still you get the same problem, then check the logs.
@Prabhas,
To my knowledge and based on Essbase architecture, both EAS and Essbase services are different. If Essbase is up and EAS is down, still you can access Essbase through add-in or some other tools.

Deployment Server and Essbase Server on different boxes

Hi,We're currently testing Hyperion Essbase 7.1.2 and we were wondering if it was possible to have the Essbase (Analytic) Server on one machine and Deployment Server on a different one. At first sight, it seemed so, so we did just that.Now, we'd like to test our setup by signing on through the ESS command line prompt (on the Deployment Server machine) but seem to miss something since the connection ("signon") is refused. The funny thing is that on the machine on which the Essbase Server is installed, we've also installed the Administration Services: through the Administration Console, we can indeed connect to the Deployment Server and interact with it.So my first question is: is our setup possible (that is, having the Deployment and Essbase servers on distinct boxes)?If so, what is the meaning of all the parameters needed for the "signon" command of the ESS command line prompt?Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,A. Lepage

I am running Essbase on one Windows server and EAS, EDS, ESS, and EIS on another. Did you create the Analytic Server in EDS and then Sync Security?

Preview Data in EAS across different essbase Servers

Hello All,
We are on 11.1.2.3 of EPM. In our Prod EAS I have Signed in using my AD user ID and added the two(one prod, one dev) essbase servers to the list of essbase servers. I was able to successfully add the two essbase servers. Now when I preview data on cube in dev it gives me the error "Cannot connect to olap service. Cannot connect to Essbase Server. Error: Essbase Error(1051293): Login fails due to invalid login credentials". This cannot be true because I would not be able to expand the essbase servers list and drill down to the database in order to preview it if the credentials were wrong. Also I am able to see the outlines and Calc scripts just fine. I am able to preview data on the prod cube just fine.
Now, The same happens when I try to preview data in prod essbase cube when coming from Dev EAS. Which means am able to preview data only on dev essbase server cubes when coming from dev EAS and when I try to preview data on a prod cube when coming from Dev EAS i get the same invalid login credentials error.
Could someone please help me understand if this is a bug or if this is how they intended it to work? Because we just upgraded from 11.1.1.4 and we were able to preview data across any essbase server no matter which EAS service we used.
No SSL or Single Sign-on were used. Just active directory credentials. It happens only with an AD ID and not with a native directory ID. Please suggest on how this can be fixed.
Thanks,
Ted.

I logged this with Oracle and the following is their response copy/pasted
The issue which you have reported in this SR is a desired behavior. This behavior has been seen in latest versions only 11.1.2.x.
In earlier version we can preview the data of any Essbase server added to any eas console.
But form 11.1.2.x environment this behaviour has been changed.
We did checked with development team on this earlier, and according to development team its a behavior by design.
As dev environment and Prod environment have different registries , the preview data would work if Dev Essbase server added to Dev EAS only. like same holds good for prod or test environments.
As same issue has been reported earlier , we form support has raised a bug with development team after reproducing the issue .
But development team did not accept this as bug as this behavior was by design .
So later we changed this bug to a enchantment request with development team to change this behavior.
Bug 14622693 - PREVIEW DATA ON REMOTE ESSBASE HOST FAIL WHEN CONNECTED FROM EAS
If this enhancement requested gets approved by development team ,Then it would be incorporated in future release.
Thanks,
Ted.

Locale Error while migrating from One Server to another Server in Essbase

Hi Gurus,
Actually we are trying to migrate the Essbase Native users/groups from Windows 2003 Server to 2008.In windows 2003 the Version is 11.1.1 and in 2008 its 11.1.2.While Migrating i faced he below error.I was using the Migration Wizard to migrate.
Start of Application Migration.
[D4W0218G.americas.hpqcorp.net:1423.Fiji] MigrateApplication February 15, 2013 10:30:04 AM SGT Failed
Error: Source and target servers should be of same locale for migration. [Source Locale: English_UnitedStates.MS1252@Binary, Target Locale: English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary]
End of Application Migration.
I even tried to change the target local to source local name in Environment Variables -->ESSLANG=English_UnitedStates.MS1252@Binary but of no use.
Can anyone please suggest me how to rectify this error.
Regards,
Naveen

Hi,
Review the section beginning at page 663 on unicode applications from the Essbase Database Admin Guide. On windows this is the ESSLANG environment variable on unix there is a file that you must modify.
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_dbag.pdf
I do suggest you read the whole section I referenced above. You would not be changing the source server. It is whatever format it is. You need to change in windows 2008.
Mark if this helps you.

Office 365 E3 subscription / Terminal Server / Office Professional Plus 2013

Hi,
Background info:
We use multiple Office 365 E3 subscriptions (12 now) and also have an Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server.
The users may install Office 365 Pro Plus on their local machines and are able to connect to SharePoint online with the Office applications. Now not everyone has a PC so they log in to one of the two Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Servers. I do
however want one big happy family working with SharePoint so I installed Office Professional Plus 2013 and tweaked the Group Policies so that the start up screen and movie arent beeing showed.
When I log in with my test user on the Terminal Server (who has a E3 subscription) I miss the feature to add a location (to connect to the SharePoint site). I just do not have that feature. When I log in with my domain administrator account who also
has an E3 subscription, I am able to add a connection.
There is SO much info on the web about Office 365/Terminal Servers etc but I am not able to find what I was looking for.
Question:
What do I need to do so our Domain Users who log in to the Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server are able to open/save files directly to the SharePoint site? How do I add the SharePoint location?

Wrong forum :)
You should either go to the Terminal Services (RDP) forum or Office 365.
Good luck with your issue.
