Environment of hyperion

as i am new to hyperion.. can u explain what will be the environment of hyperion in a big company.. starting from servers .. and tools everything...hy

If you have created a planning application not using the default admin account then the native account will be different between instances of shared services. I recommend using the default admin account to create applications, makes migrations much easier.
If this is the case when you migrate the planning application the security will not work, you would need to update the native sid account. Though make sure it is the same application owner between source and target to make it easier.
To do this create a blank application in your target environment, run a sql query against the planning application, Select SID from HSP_USERS where user_id = 50001
Store that SID value.
Migrate your planning app, then go and update the SID value with the one you stored.

Hyperion Planning 9.3.1 "Configure Data Sources" freezes at Essbase conf

Hi!
I am setting up a demo environment of Hyperion Planning for one of our customers (my first time installing this application). The platform is Windows Vista Business 32-bit. RDBMS is Oracle 10g on another machine. I've successfully installed Hyperion 9.3.1 Shared Services, Essbase, Essbase Admin Services and Planning application.
I've successfully configured all the applications (with the Configuration Utility) besides Hyperion Planning. I can access Workspace, User Management Console, Essbase Administration Services (and connect to my localhost Essbase server from there), etc - thus I believe that the installations and configuration of these modules is successful.
When I try to finish my Hyperion Planning configuration with the utility, the last step is to "Configure Data Sources" (previous configuration steps including "Product Instance Registration" were successful).
I start the configuration utility, select the properties, enter the Oracle db connection properties (no error there), then enter the Essbase connection properties (the same which enable me to add this server in the Essbase Administration Services, view and start applications, etc) and the installer just freezes.. hangs indefinitely..
Server: localhost
uid and password are the ones I provided during essbase installation/configuration
I've tried this configuration step multiple times, I've restarted the machine. The maximum time I've waited is ~30min.
Questions:
# Is it normal for the Essbase configuration page to freeze after clicking "Next" for 30min (maybe I'm just impatient, I'm new to Hyperion)
# What could be wrong?
# How could I see the error message - is there an error log somewhere?
Many thanks for your time.

Apparently this is reported as a bug.

Upgrade Planning from 11.1.2.0 to 11.1.2.1 on new environment

Hi guys,
We recently got a requirement that we need to install a completely new environment for Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.1. The old system is with 11.1.2.0 on a separate network.
The installation and configuration document says 11.1.2.1 is a maintenance release. I also couldn't find the 11.1.2.0 -> 11.1.2.1 upgrade path. Does this mean we have to install 11.1.2.0 in the new environment then performance "in place upgrade" to 11.1.2.1?
What is the recommended upgrade method from 11.1.2.0 to 11.1.2.1 if the deploy to a new environment?
Thanks,
Fred.

Thanks for your reply John!
The 11.1.2.1 version is required to be installed on a separate network. If we follow the official route that means to install 11.1.2.0 -> Migrate -> apply maintenance release to upgrade to 11.1.2.1. This would be the last option we want to go with... The 11.1.2.0 installation files are not available from Oracle any more.
I still have a few questions about the other options.
Option 2: Clean install of 11.1.2.1 -> Create empty planning apps -> Clone planning apps relational database
Question: After all the steps above, do I need to perform "upgrade" for each app inside of planning?
Option 3: Clean install of 11.1.2.1 -> Create empty planning apps -> Use LCM to migrate the content
Question: Will LCM work between 11.1.2.0 and 11.1.2.1? I personally had some bad experience with LCM when the target and source system is not 100% identical.

Migration from Brio8 version to Hyperion Interactive reporting version11

Hi,
We are migrating from Brio8 environment to Hyperion Interactive Reporting version 11 environment. I am referring hs_migration.pdf version 11. I am using migration utility tool to do migration.
my question is if I am migrating artifacts from Brio 8 repository to Hyperion 11 reposotory. Will it migrate all the old UUIDS of all the reports to the new repository or will it create new UUIDS for the reports. If that is the case reports which were saved offline referring to webbased queries will work?

Hi.
We are just now attempting an upgrade from Brio 6.5 and the On-Demand Server to Hyperion 9.3. Are any of you able and willing to address questions as they come up? I understand the set up and security of the Brio product thoroughly .. and create reports and EIS sections. BUT ... the terminology change from Brio to Hyp 9 is daunting and I'm needing to know how to begin to construct what in Brio I think of as the "Catalog". I'm interested in keeping our initial Hyp9 implementation simple ... and not take advantage of all the options in Hyp 9 which are not part of Brio.
Thank you!

ODI and Loading to/Extracting from Hyperion Planning **?

All,
first--I am not a Hyperion expert.
Clients have 2 requirements:
#1. Loading data ( flat file format residing in Windows environment) ''to'' Hyperion Planning 9.3.1
#2. Extracting Data 'From' Hyperion Planning 9.3.1 to a flat file ( residing in Windows environment)
Questions:
#1 I have looked at materials at OBE > ( http://ias.us.oracle.com/portal/page?_pageid=33,1704614&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL)
I have been able to reverse engineer a Hyperion application in ODI. but apparently that's not all, and there is additional work to be done in Hyperion itself
namely---'preparing' dimensional members, before loading any data.
Let's say the input data is comprised of: Product_code, Account_num, Period, Amount
Can someone explain how the following recommended steps by Hyperion example can plays out to load this data?
1) Loading Metadata? ( what needs to be added/changed in Hyperion diemnsion)
2) Loading Data?
#2 do we have to use ODI to create interface and extract/write data from Hyperion to a flat file? isn't there any Hyperion 'Facility' which does that?
any pointers is appreciated.
Thanks
ali

Hello,
Unfortunately there is no SSO option from "Planning to FDM" via Tasks.
The URL you should tell Planning to launch in a new window is 'http://<ServerName>/HyperionFDM'
If Planning can not execute that in a fresh IE window; then there isn't much that can be done.
It might also be advantageous to post this to the Planning group as well; since this isn't necessarily an FDM discussion.
Thank you,

Essbase Excel Macro's and Mxl client

Hello Folks,
We are working on 11.1.2.1 having Essbase, Planning, HFM and financial Reports & ODI. We have built the environment newly. I have a scenario where we need to run the ODI batches and run the excel macros to load some of the data. Our batches run from ODI. We have distributed environment for Hyperion servers, totally 3 servers.
Components in distributed environment:
1. Shared services, Planning, HFM client, BI Reporting tools, EAS client, Maxl,ODI(server1)
2. Essbase Server,Maxl(server2)
3. HFM(Server3)
MS office & ODI installed on Server1.
We need to run the batches using ODI & Excel Macro's to load the data.
I have setup the maxl client in Server1 for the ODI batch to use for loading data into essbase but my problem is i want to use excel macro's also same time. Is there any possibility or workaround to use both at a time on same servers?
Thanks,
Tamas

What is the error you are getting while running it from ODI? I'm assuming that you are getting some error when you said only one is working.
When you install EXCEL Add-in it is changing your path and abrorpath variables and that could be the reason why maxl is not working. If ODI is using a bat file why don't you set temporary variable and try.
in you bat file add these lines (before the maxl call, i would ad them to the start)
SET ARBORPATH=C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient
SET PATH=%ARBORPATH%\bin;%PATH%

Hyperion EPM Installation in a distributed environment...

Hi all,
I am planning to install Hyperion products in a distributed environment. I have three machines say, Machine A, Machine B, Machine C. All of the machines have Windows 2003 operating system. And only Machine B and Machine C have Application Server installed. Now I give a brief structure as what machine holds which products-
Machine A:-
Oracle 11g
Essbase Server
Machine B:-
Foundation Services- Shared Services
Essbase Studio
Essbase Integration Services
Smart Search
Administration Services
Provider Services
Habnet
Essbase Client
Machine C:-
EPMA
Planning
Workspace
I create a separate database for each component, say, to configure Essbase I have Hyess database, to configure Planning I have Hyplan database.
And I configure Shared Services to the same database, say, Hyshs from each machine. In that case I just follow the previously congigured database.
Machine B and Machine C components are deployed to their respective Application Server.
Can anyone please tell me if this is proper or not? Any kind of modification or recommendation would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi John,
thanks for your response. Yes, the Process Manager does not start. I had a look at the Event Viewer. And it shows error and the error properties description is something like this-

Hyperion 11.1.1.3 Installation and Configuration on a Distributed Environ:

Hi All,
We have Only Hyperion Production Servers on a Distributed Environment. Now, we are thinking to create new instance that will be called Development Environment and that must be replica or mirror of Prod Environment. For that we cloned Production Servers.
Since we have all four servers Cloned for Development Environment now I need to Configure those all four instances.....I never worked with installations and configurations ...I do have knowledge and little experience with single tier or one system installation and configuration but distributed environment....I need your support and guideline to configure these boxes...
Our Distributed Environment lay out is as follows:-
We have installed Hyperion on Windows Server 2003 and Database is SQL Server
(1) We have Four Servers
(a) SQL, which Contains these services EPMA, and IIS Admin Service, World Wide Publishing Services, Hyperion Calc Manager-Web Application,
Hyperion EPMA (.Net JNI Bridge, Engine Manager, Event Manager, Job Manager, Process Manager, Web Application, and Data Syn-WebApplication)
(b) Essbase Server Contains these services Hyp ERP Integrator-Web Application, Hyp Essbase Services, Hyp financial Data Quality Management-
Task Manager
(c) Planning Server contains these Services Hyp Financial Reporting-Web Application, Hyperion Planning-Web Application, Hyp RMI Registry,
Hyp Web Analysis-Web Application
(d) Workspace Server Contains these services Hyp Finacial Reporting (Java RMI Registy, Print Server, Report Server, Scheduler Server), Hyp Foundatio
OpenLDAP, Hyp foundation shared services-web application, Hyp Provider Services - web application, Hyp Workspace (agent service and web application)
(2) Now my question is which server needs to be configured 1st then next and next and what things or steps i need to follow for configuration that works fine?
I know I can run EPMA configure tool for each system from Stat>All program>Oracle EPMA>EPMA Configuration> and then select tool to run.....But I am bit confused that which one go 1st and then next.
Please give your few words for this so that I can start configure the system....
I hoping for positive feedback...
Thanks in Advance.

We have roughly 8 servers in our distributed prod environment. We are using red linux for everything but the epma and report server which you need a windows server. The way we installed was to start with the base server with Shared services and establish that one and whatever else you want on that server. From there it really didnt matter as you go through the installs it will ask you where your shared services box is located. The only problem we had was that some of our boxes are behind a WHI cage where we had to open up ports. Other then that i really didnt follow a specific sequence of installation after shared services. Hope that helps.

Hyperion 11.1.3 supported environment - Windows 2003 64-bit

We are planning our migration from Windows 2003 SP1 32 bit with Hyperion 9.3.1 to Windows 2003 64bit (and whatever SP is supported) with Hyperion 11.1.3
In reviewing the oracle support doc I came across exceptions for using Windows 64 bit with 11
1. NOT SUPPORTED FOR: Data Integration Management, Production Reporting Teradata Engine.
2. EXCEPTION: Data Relationship Management and FDM do not support Oracle Access Manager, Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On, and Oracle Identity Manager.
3. 32-BIT BINARIES ONLY FOR: Data Relationship Management, EPM Workspace Services, FDM, Financial Reporting Services, Interactive Reporting Services, Shared Services (embedded Native Directory OpenLDAP service), Smart Search, and Strategic Finance.
4. FDM and Strategic Finance cannot be deployed on the same computer where Financial Management (64-bit) and Performance Management Architect (64-bit) are deployed.
I am more concerned with #3. Does this mean that those services cannot run on the 64bit machine OR that they can run on 64bit but in 32bit mode only
JTS

Hi,
It means they are only 32bit binaries but they do work on a 64bit environment.
Cheers

Is it possible to use SSL with LDAP, but not rest of Hyperion environment?

Hello Experts,
We need to encrypt the user credentials passed between LDAP and Shared Services. For this, I believe, we need to use SSL. And for that, we need to SSL enable the Web App Server that Shared Services runs off? If we enable SSL on this, is it possible to continue using non-SSL versions of App & Web servers in the rest of the Hyperion environment? This is because SSL will cause a negative impact to performance, and we want to reduce that impact as much as possible.
Environment:
Shared Services 9.3.1.0.7 on WebSphere Application Server 6.0.2.11 on Windows 2003
Planning 9.3.1.1
Essbase 9.3.1
HFM 9.3.1
BI+ 9.3.1
Please Suggest. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sonu

Both windows and osx do a few things that can cause problems, they do what you say, they assume that you will connect to the same network you last connected and try to use the same configuration, they try to skip most steps like dhcp and arp and it will probably work fine if it actually is the same network and no one else got the same IP otherwise they will have to go through all the steps.
I have seen a blog post describing the differences a while ago but now I can't find it and I don't remember how I got there, I guess that if you search long enough you might stumble upon some description of this. From what I remember, the short story is that on linux programs go by the book and try to be good neighbors, windows and osx don't and they can cause trouble just for the sake of shaving a few seconds of the time to get connected, the thing is most of the times it works fine

Skill set required for Hyperion environment patching

Hi all,
Could you please let me know what specific skill set is required for hyperion environment patching?
Does it come under hyperion application administration? Could you please also help me understand the difference between Hyperion application administrator and Hyperion infrastructure administrator?

Is there a reason for asking this question? It all depends on the company to how the role is defined, it is possbile application administrator or infrastructure administrator could be applying patches, usually falls more under an infra role though.
You would usually need product knowledge, the technologies behind EPM and the architecture, OS skills.

EAS server getting Crashed (EAS issue in Hyperion 9.2.0.3 environment)

We are facing serious issues with analytic administrative services(EAS services - web logic) in production environment. This service frequently shut downs and has to be restarted using Sev 2 services requests with IT team. concerned over the issue happening frequently.
This is a second instance in couple of weeks, we have reached Oracle and provided all the details requested from them. We even had made changes as per Oracle's recommendation.
The first time this happened, we changed the web logic settings so that the log could be comprehended for some credible information.
then restrted the EAS it started genrating a detailed log.EAS crashed again.
can any one or gurus quickly help on this as this is a production issue.
if anyone has faced similar kind of issues in thier environments please share your experiences what you did to resolve this problem.
Thanks
Ram

There isn't any easy way that I know of. I've had this issue at two different locations, and both times the unix techs were convinced that there was no port conflict, as whatever they were looking at didn't show one. Yet when we changed the settings, the problem went away. I'd just change them to test it out. It won't hurt anything.
Are you unix or windows?

Installing ODI 11 on a single server Hyperion 11.1.2.1 environment

We have a single server Dev EPM (Hyp 11.1.2.1) environment (HP, HPCM, HFM, FDM), which is working over all fine. We now would like to use ODI for data and metadata loads. Our plan is to install ODI 11.1.1.6 on the same server where we have the above full EPM stack installed/Configured already. I did a quick study online before attempting ODI, below are the challenges I am facing.
1. I believe ODI requires Weblogic, hence tried to extend or create a new weblogic domain with the already exsiting weblogic installation of EPM. However weblogic create/extend domain screen does not have ODI in the list of "supported products"?
2. Do I need to install a fresh copy of weblogic to be able to install ODI or can I use the existing weblogic installation?
Kindly share your thoughts and experiences in this regard.

959658, Thanks for your comments.
I tried it and it throws the below error/message
INST-07247: Specified Middleware home location is either not valid or missing
enter a valid Middleware home location
I get this error only if I choose to install J2EE Components. I read some docs and understand that J2EE components are primarily used for HA and clustering, apart from this is there anything other major functionality that J2EE components provide? Just want to see what is it that we will miss if we choose to go without J2EE for now given it is a Dev environment.
When you say you were able to proceed with existing installation of weblogic, did you extend or create a weblogic domain to support ODI? cause it looks like the existing EPM weblogic domain does not support ODI.
