EPMA Application Compare (11.1.2.3.500)

Hi,
just started using this version of EPMA planning and Essbase. One thing we have noticed is that when we deploy an application (only creating filters for security - as the internal planning option to do this has gone), the application library reports that the app is in sync and the compare shows no difference between the deployed app and the library. This is despite that fact that there are still differences in the metadata. Has anyone else come across the same issue and is there any way we can get the compare to report correctly? Or is there an alternative way of refreshing the filters in Essbase....
Thanks,
Jeremy.

You can refresh the filters from Planning web itself. I'm sure that EPMA might be considering that as a refresh and storing information in backend tables that the app is in sync.

EPMA application app compare reporting incorrectly

Hi,
we've just started using 11.1.2.3 for Planning Apps and ASO cubes. One thing that has changed is the ability to refresh security from within the planning application. So we now do the same refresh from within the application library just asking to create filters. However when we do this the subsequent application compares show the apps as having no metadata differences and the library says that they are in sync - which they are but the changes that we didn't ask to be deployed are in the planning app but not the Essbase app - any ideas why might occur? Or are there alternatives for this sort of security refresh.?
Thanks,
Jeremy.

To clarify the original post - the way to avoid this the is to use the Manage->Database option from within planning that option has not gone (but still doesn't explain the behaviour of the deploy)

There was a bug in earlier releases for deleting dimensions with children, making the children orphans.
Heard from release notes that it has been fixed, but we are seeing this issue in 11.1.2.1 again.
Please help us out in resolving this error.

Hi,
I always ask this first, have you installed all the planning and epma patches as there have been many issues addressed in 9.3.1

Kindly let me the difference between Classic Planning and EPMA Application and its cosequences on upgradation.
Thanks in advance

Loading metadata into EPMA applications using Interface tables-Automation

Hi,
I am loading the metadata into epma applications using interface tables as ODI dont perit to load metadata into epma applications. Is there any way of using ODI and interface tables together to load the metadata
This process also need to be automated.

Hi,
It is certainly possible and has be done, though there is not anything available that will do it for you, you will have to put in some effort learning the structure of the interface tables, then build interfaces and then a package in ODI to streamline the process.
Cheers

How do I get a profile / .per file from a EPMA application this is for HFM

I want to copy an EPMA application into another environment but outside of EPMA. I can get the metadata, Security and Rules Extracts. How do i get the .per periods file to set up the classic application.

Hi Raul,
Thanks for the help. What I was trying to do is extract one from an existing application. But I guess it is easy enopugh to set one up from scratch. I wasnt sure of the start period of the app that i wanted duplicated, but opening it in the classic app client, and dropping down on the year dimension gives us the info.
Thanks for your help.

Duplicating EPMA Application in 11.1.1.4

Good day,
We are unable to duplicate an HFM EPMA application in version 11.1.1.4. We receive the following error:
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
Error Code: com.hyperion.awb.web.common.BaseServiceException
We have logged with Oracle support but they say we need to look at errors with consolidation methods.
We have not populated the methods, as we are not using HFM logic for the consolidation, rather we are performing the required consolidation via the rule file.
We are familiar with the EPMA option in copy app, but that would mean converting the source app to a classical app first, which the client does not want.
Has anyone come across this problem before?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

You can refresh the filters from Planning web itself. I'm sure that EPMA might be considering that as a refresh and storing information in backend tables that the app is in sync.

Classic app changed to epma application without warning

Hi!
I have an application which was initially created as classic planning application. (version 931)
Today when I opened this application I noticed that dimension members were not editable any more, which led me to think that application has "evolved" to an epma application.
I do not remember having upgraded application (have just checked if it was upgradeable, even today it is upgradeable???).
When I browse application library this application is not visible anywhere there. So it seeems that it is not an epma application, but it does not have the classic application features either.
Can I somewhere check whether this application is currenty classic or epma?
Is it possible to copy epma application to classic application using copy app (just wild question...) I think i already know the answer, but has anybody tried?
kind regards,
user637777
Edited by: user637777 on 10.12.2009 5:24

Have you eve used the EPMA file generator as I have seen it change the classic settings so it looks to be an EPMA application without warning.
You can revert it back go into the planning system tables.
First look in the HSPSYS_APPLICATION, note down the APP_ID for the planning app in question.
Next go into the table HSPSYS_PROPERTIES, look at column PROPERTY_NAME = EDIT_DIM_ENABLED for the ID you had in the step above, change the PROPERTY_VALUE from false to true.
Restart Planning application service.
Ok?

Sorry - reread your post and follow that it is an EPMA BSO app, not planning. Can you try placing the Period dimension before the Account dimension in order and seeing if it deploys? I know that's not ideal, but just as a test. You may want to read the very end of this possibly related post:

Is it necessary to have Application Administrator to deploy HFM EPMA application?

Hi All,
Our users don't want us to have Application Administrator role and Yet they want us to change the Hierarchy and Deploy the application. Is there any way? Our application is EPMA HFM application.
Regards,
Sushil

I believe, with an EPMA application, you should have the ability to modify application metadata with the EPMA Dimension Editor Shared Services role (Foundation > Shared Services > EPMA Administrator > Dimension Editor). To deploy the changes, however, my understanding is that this is restricted to the Application Administrator role for the HFM application.

EPMA Application Deployment Error (Essbase BSO cube)

Hi,
I am trying to deploy the EPMA application & I am getting the following error:
Success.
\\Record #8797 - Error adding Dynamic calc property to member %_to Sales (3320)
\\Record #8797 - No time dimension defined
Stat Accounts + S T Stat Reps + X T %_to Sales ~ X F E T "\"5500"->\"YearTotal\"/\"Sales\"->\"YearTotal\" ;" % to Sales % to Sales
\\Record #8799 - Error adding Dynamic calc property to member Margin_Inc% (3320)
\\Record #8799 - No time dimension defined
Stat Accounts + S T Stat Reps + X T Margin_Inc% + X A E T "\"Margin\"/ \"Sales\";"
I am trying to tag the account members %_to Sales & Margin_Inc% as TB Average, If I change that property to None, I don't get these errors & everything deploys without any error. Post deployment if I go in the outline & try to assign TB average directly in EAS I am able to do that without any errors.
I am on EPMA 11.1.2.1, this error is not occuring in Planning application but in BSO Essbase cube in EPMA
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

How to change the name of HFM EPMA Application while migrating from dev to

We have HFM EPMA application in Dev env on 11.1.2.2. We want to migrate aplication to production environment with different name. We are using Life cycle management to migrate the application. I know life cycle management but do not know how to change the application name during migration.
As we have EPMA application so copy utility will not work. Please helop.

Hi ,
You could use the Copy app utility to migrate the application from Dev to Prod.You could have your desired app name while setting up the copy process.
The EPMA application from Dev will be converted to an Classic application in Prod after the copy.
Then you might need to use the "Transform Classic to EPM Architect" and convert it to an EPMA application.
So your Application with the data from Dev will be moved to Prod.
To Navigate ,
Launch Workspace
Navigate ->Administer->Transform Classic to EPM Architect
