EPMA - Batch Client

Hi,
Can you batch up the tasks of creating ADS files etc? Thinking a great way to backup Planning EPMA apps would be the ability to batch up some functionality of creating ADS files, calc mgr rules, webforms etc... Is there a way to batch that stuff up?

Thats really what I want to do. I want to batch the LCM. Was thinking it might be in the EPMA batch guide as when you goto LCM via Shared Services the navigation is to Foundation->EPM Architect.
So LCM batch info would be found in the Foundation documentation then?

EPMA batch client with Essbase application - does not update aliases

Hello,
We are using EPMA 11.1.2.1 for managing outlines for Essbase applications.
Changing aliases in EPMA and launching manually redeploy from Workspace, with flag "Full Deploy" change correctly the aliases in Essbase..
Using the EPMA batch client to redeploy the Essbase application deletes all aliases in Essbase outline.
Someone knows how to solve this problem or what am I doing wrong in the EPMA script?
thanks...
this is the EPMA script:
SET bpmaserverurl=http://epma_server/hyperion-bpma-server;
SET workspaceurl=http://work_space_server/workspace;
login admin,password;
Execute reDeploy
Parameters(ApplicationName, InstanceName, waitforcompletion, deployOption)
Values('PNL', 'ESSBASE_STUDIO_SERVER:essbase_server_name', 'True', 'AppView');
Quit;

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From your description it seems that you are facing issue only with windows 8\8.1. So firstly suggest you to check with application support team, whether they have whole support for application with newer version. Also check once with application support team
regarding this issue.
This issue occurs because the local taskbar does not receive the EVENT_OBJECT_NAMECHANGE event from the system due to a timing issue. The EVENT_OBJECT_NAMECHANGE is needed to update the taskbar title information.
More information (For reference).
The taskbar may not show the application name correctly when using a Terminal Server RemoteApp
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

EPMA Batch Client - Can I launch business rules created in Calc Manager?

I'm currently on a project where we have implemented an EPMA Planning app (v 11.1.1.2), and we need to schedule business rules to run in batch. In the past, I used the command line launcher to perform this task. Unfortunately, the command line launcher is really a part of EAS, so it would appear that I cannot use this method to launch a rule created in Calc Manager. Is this correct?
It looks like my other option is to use the EPMA Batch Client. In looking at the "Execute" command in the documentation, it doesn't reference the ability to run a business rule. The docs are fairly limited, so I'm wondering if I really CAN launch a business rule from here.
Has anyone scheduled a business rule (created in Calc Manager) to run in batch? If so, what method did you use? If all else fails, I can create a calc script and run it from MaxL, but I'd rather not have multiple versions of the code floating around.
Thanks!

Hi Jake,
One of the known issues in 11.1.1.3 is :-
You cannot launch a business ruleset with runtime prompts from the Planning command line launch (7205464).
Whether this means you can't run calc manager BR's from command line I am not sure.
There is no documentation in this area so I assume it can't be done yet.
Cheers

Log files in EPMA batch client

Hi All,
I want to make log files while using EPMA Batch client.
I am using -T and -R option to make the log files. But its not working correctly. Can anyone tell whats wrong with this?
I used belong command.
epma-batch-client.bat -C"D:\Ads File\DimAddDeploy.txt" -T"D:\Ads File\Trace.log" -R"D:\Ads File\ResultFile.txt"
Also when we run ImportParameters to add the dimensions , I need to make a log file. Instead of going to the URL for checking logs, can we import the URL contenst in a seperate log file?
Thanks in advance.

Properties that are updateable and which ones not using epma batch client

Can anyone provide list of properties (HFM/Essbase etc.) that are updateable and which ones not using epma batch client?

This will be documented in the batch client and related documentation on the EPM documentation portal

EPMA Batch client command Equivalent to Select Top Member

Hi
I am looking for EPMA batch client command equivalent to performing "Select Top Members" in web against a shared dimension in Application library.
I can find commands for exclude members in the document but could not find any Dimension Property or Command which will help me to automate this.
Thanks in Advance.

I don't believe there is a command that will do that yet.

Export Dimensions using EPMA Batch Client

HI,
Does anyone know if there is a way to export the dimensions from EPMA using a command line tool like the EPMA Batch Client. I have gone through the guide and there are commands to import the dimensions but none to export them from EPMA. We are on EPM 11.1.2.1 version and all our apps are using EPMA with planning so unfortunately i cannot use the planning outline extractor tool either. Thanks

You can use LCM to export a hierarchy, and that can be scripted LCM batch utility. Create a migration to the file system with LCM. Select the hierarchies you want to export. When you get to the point where it asks you to execute the migration, there is also an option to save an XML file with the options you selected. You can use that xml file with the utility. Details are found at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_lifecycle_management/frameset.htm?launch.htm.
The exports are in the import/export folder under the ID of the person executing the migration. The folder/files can be copies anywhere.

ODI OS command call epma batch client failed to run

hi expert,
I have a question to ask for solution.
My problem is that ODI OS Command failed to run epma batch client to import dimension members and deploy to application .
I am using ODI 11g and EPM 11.1.2.1. I added the ODI_Agent to opmn as service. tested agent ok.
I installed ODI as client can run ODI packages to update dimension members choosing ODI agent to run. The package shows run successfully in ODI operator. But when I check the EPMA job console. no dimension update job ran.
my ODI OS command as below:
cmd /cE:/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1/products/Foundation/BPMA/EPMABatchClient/epma-batch-client.bat -CE:/Scripts/Import_FIN_DIM.txt -RE:/Oracle_data/Finance/IMPORT_FINANCE.log -LOn -SFalse
any ideas ?
regards,
Chris

Check the script. Your command does not return any specific code. Even if the EPMA batch client returns an error code, DOS does a poor job of communicating it back to java programs which is what ODI agents are. Now, since the code failed, you have to investigate the reason in your script.
My suggestion is to wrap your command in a script, check for the returned error code in that script and then write a error file or update a table or point to a specific line in log file so that ODI can find if the process was successful or not. Then call the wrapper script from ODI.

Error while running EPMA Batch client in 11.1.1.3

I am using the following syntax to refresh a plannin app
Execute Deploy Parameters(ApplicationName,InstanceName,ApplicationServer,HubProject,waitforcompletion,purgeTransactions,deployOption,datasourceName,RefreshOutline) Values ('Appname','PLANNING','PLANNING','PLANNING','true','true',‘AppView’,DSNname','true');
but I am getting the following error message
Missing single quotes on the value " 'AppView','DSNname','true' "
I have checked the DSN name and I'm passing the correct parameter.
Would appreciate any help on this.
Thanks

There is a single quote missing on in your example in front of DSNName, here is a working example from 11.1.2.1 though it should be similar for your version.
Execute Deploy Parameters(ApplicationName, InstanceName, ApplicationServer, HubProject, ClearAll, CheckIntegrity, waitforcompletion, purgeTransactions, deployOption, datasourceName,CreateOutline,RefreshOutline,CreateSecurityFilters,SharedMembersSecurityFilters,ValidateSecurityFilterLimit) Values ('EPMASAMP', 'Default', 'Default', 'Planning', 'false', 'false', 'true', 'true', 'AppView', 'EPMASAMP','false','true','false','false','false');

EPMA 11.1.2.1 batch client LOADID, Full Deploy, Clear MetaData missing

Looks like EPMA batch client in 11.1.2.1 does not have any mention of some of the options available through workspace. Options like LOADID, Fully Deploy and Clear Metadata are no where to be found.
Has anyone found work arounds for these? Kindly share your thoughts.
Regards
JamesO

First log an enhancement ticket with Oracle.
Your next move is to find someone that can hack the Java code and perform non-Oracle approved customizations -- in my experience this can be as easy as four hours of research and work or could take quite a bit longer -- then you have to ask if you are paying for this work is it worth a few thousand dollars of time if you don't have these skills in your company to leverage and also if you ever do patching the customization needs to be remade and may not be as easy as the first time.

Batch client in EPMA

Hi,
i just want to use batch client to update member property in EPMA. But the batch client is not installed in windows server, it is in UNIX.
Can I still do that in UNIX according to the Batch Client Guide? If so, how can i log in to the path?
Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you.
I have tried to launch the epma-batch-client in Unix as below, but it shows some error. You can see the below.
I just use PuTTY to log into the BatchClient directory in Unix and launch the epma-batch-client.bat like below,
<server>:../oracle/epm/EPMSystem11R1/products/Foundation/BPMA/EPMABatchClient>epma-batch-client.sh
it show error: ..<server> does not exist or is not readble.
I also tried that:
<server>:../oracle/epm/EPMSystem11R1/products/Foundation/BPMA/EPMABatchClient>./epma-batch-client.sh
it shows the same error.
I wonder if it is the user has no access to execute the epma-batch-client.bat?
Thank you.

How can I force DRM-BATCH-CLIENT to create a non-combined Book export

We are running EPM 11.1.2.1 and feeding master data from DRM to Planning via a Book.
This process has been working fine run from a client. We export the Book and DRM delivers a zip file to the client PC which we can place on the server and load.
We are now trying to automate the end to end process so are looking at using the DRM Batch Client.
If we run with "CombineExportOutput=Y" we can create a single text file no problem.
Whenever we set "CombineExportOutput=N" we can't get any export file created.
We really want to do is to get the same zip file with multiple dimension files inside it as we do when running from the client. How do we do this?
The manual indicates that the files created take their names from the exports but I am not sure about where this comes from.
The exports and books are set with a target of 'Client'
Our redacted config file is show below:
[General]
Operation=Export
UserName=<user>
Password=<passwd>
URL=net.tcp://<drmserver address>:5211/Oracle/DRM/ProcessManager
LogFileName=C:\rja\DRMEXPORT.log
ObjectAccess=System
[Export]
ExportType=Book
OutFile= "C:\rja\DRM_Book\Plan_Book.zip"
BookName="PSPB_Book"
CombineExportOutput=N

OK, I can see that now. Strange that DRM is under System Integration and not EPM (kinda understand it but the various EPM bits do seem to be treated differently across the Oracle website).
PLUS if I look at [The Forum Desription|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=409] it states :
Covers Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management, Hyperion Data Relationship Management (formerly Hyperion MDM), and respective administration/development topics
I would not have posted if that description had not been there - can anyone update it?
I have re-posted the thread!
