EPMA Shared Library

I am trying to share dimensions between an HFM application and a Planning application. Is there a way to share a dimension which needs to be the entity dimension in planning but a generic dimension in HFM? In Planning, my Department dimension is tagged as entity but in HFM, Entity is tagged as Entity and Department is tagged as generic (Custom 1). Is there a way to share the department dimension between the 2 applications that are not tagged the same? I've been unable to figure this out.

This is not possible currently, an Enhancement request has been logged in for this one.

ODI metadata integration with EPMA Shared library

Hello all,
we are in the implementation phase of Hyperion Planning and we have to update metadata using some ETL tool into EPMA.
Is ODI integrates with Oracle and EPMA shared library or not.
if not then we have some other tool to integrates the same.
Kindly reply.
Thanks,
KK

I believe John Goodwin wrote a series of blog-posts to show exactly this integration.
Here is the first one:

Alias in EPMA shared library

Hi There,
When we add a new member into EPMA shared library using ODI the new item comes into Hyperion with alias/description. However, if I change that description in ERP this does not seem to pass across into Hyperion and it looks like it is a manual task for the administartor to maintain that alias manually.
Could someone let us know the reason and/or resolution for this issue.
Cheers !!!!

Hi,
Have a look at below link for the specific details:

EPMA shared library relational representation

I want to use EPMA shared libraries to manually maintain certain dimensions for Planning, but also access that metadata to update other external environments requiring the same hierarchy information. I am running on SQL Server 2005. Hierarchies are managed nowhere else in the company and DRM is not a desired option.
I see HYP_HPLAN tables that contain numeric IDs for dimension members and a HYP_UNIQUE_NAMES table that appears to contain the mappings. Am I on the right track looking at these? How would you recommend going about extracting EPMA shared library hierarchy information into a meaningful table or tables for use elsewhere?
Thanks for your ideas!

It is not more useful to create metadata first in relational if you want to leverage the user interface of EPMA libraries for the maintenance of manual dimensions. Given the business need for some manually maintained dimensions, I think it is much friendlier to have a key user add members, etc. in a hierarchial interface rather than populate a table (likely based on submission of a manually maintained spreadsheet). In my way of thinking, coming from "old school" Essbase, there is intuitive benefit in having hierarchy modeling tools (App Mgr, EAS). So my question still stands and is based on the desire do use EPMA as that tool in a Planning context.

User cannot view dimensions within EPMA Dimension Library in Shared Library

Greetings,
I presume this must be a security issue, but user cannot view his dimensions in the shared library in EPMA. He can, however view view his application, update the local dimensions, and push to Essbase.
If this is a security issue, what assignment should I provision to enable the user to see these shared dims. Many thanks.

Give that user the rights of
Dimension Editor found under Foundation Service --> Shared Service --> EPMA Administrator and then try again.
Thanks.

Rename a member in shared library

and then do deployment, say rename A to B, i suppose data for A will not be lost and B will have them?
did not see about this in doc, but if rename cause data loss then EPMA would be too bad product,:)

user12291444 wrote:
Thanks!
I used EPMA profile to update the member, if a member name is changed in data source,
how can i know if the member in shared library is renamed or delete/add by import through profile?If by datasource you mean Essbase, then all changes done in Essbase will be overwritten during the next deployment by the values set in EPMA. But this way, since it will be an overwrite of the member in the outline rather than a renaming, you will probably lost data (not 100% sure though).

EPMA Dimension Library - Remove Members

I like to find if there is any way to remove members from EPMA dimension library (using batch client) other than using REPLACE method in import profile definition.
We get delta file from DRM in ADS format i.e the file will only have new members and we need to define process to handle the removed members from DRM. Is there any property or Flag available that can be tagged to remove the member in EPMA?
we decided to go with delta file as we have around 40,000 members and it would be effecient if we use delta file rather than a complete upload everytime the members changes. Please advice if it is good decision to go with delta or we should use complete file.
Thanks
RR

I think with the only option with the batch client is the "Remove Member" command.
Removes a member from the specified dimension but does not delete it. You can only use the Remove Member command to remove a shared dimension in an application.
Remove Member
Properties(DimensionName, ParentName, MemberName)
Values('Account', 'Mem1', ‘Mem2’);

EPMA shared dimension Aliases

Hi,
We have a EPMA application where few of our dimensions are shared. Our flat file imports have loaded the aliases to one of the dimesnsions to the shared library and everything is in sync with the application. . But we are not able to see those aliases in data form and when we check the application in dimension library for aliases it shows this message"The Associated Dimension ID has not been set for this property."
Update: the aliases are not deployed in essbase for those members.
please do help us out.
thanks,

Was able to find the solution from oracle support link.
*Aliases Not Retained When Copying Dimension From Shared Library [ID 1435928.1]*
Use a shared Alias dimension, rather than using a local Alias. If the alias dimension is a shared rather than a local dimension then the dimension member aliases will be retained when you copy a dimension from the Shared Library to an Application Library.
thanks,

Importing duplicate members for planning appln - EPMA Dimension Library

Hi,
How to import duplicate members while importing dimensions using flat file in EPMA Dimension Library (11.1.2.1).
We have Isprimary column which enables multiple instances of a member as shared members, but how to import duplicate members in EPMA?
From the EPMA Guide:
Specifying Primary and Shared Instances of a Member using IsPrimary
In import files, any two members in the same dimension, with the same name, are always treated
as separate instances of the same member. If a member has multiple instances in a dimension,
the IsPrimary column specifies which instance is primary and which instance(s) are shared. The
IsPrimary column is not required; however, we strongly recommend that you use it. If left
undefined, it defaults to “True”, which assumes that the member is primary. If left undefined,
a warning is displayed in the Import Results file.
Note: Older import files, that do not use the IsPrimary column, can still be run. However, if the
import file does not have the IsPrimary column, it is not possible to create shared members
or move members.
Thanks in advance.

As you are talking about a planning application then duplicate members are not supported but Shared members are.
Cheers

Duplicate members in EPMA dimension library

Hi,
There are two instances of many members in Account dimension in EPMA dimension library in UAT environment. I am trying to migrate the Account dimension to Dev using LCM. When i do the LCM import, all the second instances are getting imported as shared members and the import fails as the children are orphaned. However there are no errors in UAT when i validate the application. The hierarchies of two instances are associated to different planning applications.
The error is
The 'Member' section contains a duplicate entry; the subsequent input line 'NB AWP|Revenue||||||None|Currency||False|False|False|False|N|False|||False|False|N|Default|0|0|Default|None||Plan2|1|Balance|False|Numeric|||||False|NonExpense|False||' will not be processed.
Is there a way to import the dimension as it is in the UAT environment?
Regards,
Ragav.

As you are talking about a planning application then duplicate members are not supported but Shared members are.

Unable to see shared library

I searched for and read about a dozen previous posts on this subject but was unable to find a solution. Not only can I not see any shared library but I don't even have a "shared" menu item on either PC as described in the help file. It should show up under the Library>Music heading?
Both PC's:
...can connect to the internet
...can transfer files back and forth
...can see each others "Shared Docs" directory
...have iTunes and Bonjour listed as exceptions in Windows Firewall
...have the latest verions of iTunes and Bonjour
When I point the iTunes Music Folder location on the 'remote' PC to the iTunes Music Folder on the 'host' PC, it finds it, see's it, and then asks if I want to update (the view)? to match? I said yes. Still the same list of songs that are physically on the remote PC and nowhere does it say anything about sharing or give any indication that it is aware of the host library.
What am I not getting?

"iTunes Sharing, the built-in feature, has nothing to do with pointing your iTunes Music folder setting to a shared folder on another computer. Those are two separate features/capabilities."
Yes, I get that - I was just trying everything I could think of to make it see my shared library.
"do you have Sharing and "Look for shared" turned on in the iTunes Sharing preferences?"
Yes.
"you want to have your iTunes library using the shared folder on your other computer, you need to use the Add Folder to Library command to get the tracks into the iTunes library listing"
Not quite sure what your getting at here. The help file for sharing the entire library gives 3 simple steps and then says "its name appears in the iTunes window (below Shared) on other local computers (in the same subnet) set up to look for shared libraries." - obviously this is not happening.
The whole reason to share and use the host library is specifically to avoid having to manually add tracks/folders from the remote PC.

Please help! Shared Library Error... no applications will open!

Hi. Major issues!!
My computer was unplugged for 2 weeks (renovations). When I set it up in my new office, none of my applications would open! (Microsoft, Adobe, AOL, etc...) Safari is working.
I get this error message:
The application "Photoshop" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "5<application><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_SpeechRecognition>"
The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error:
"8<Microsoft Word><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_SpeechRecognition>"
The application "AOL" could not be launched because of a shared library error:
"9<AOL (Bootstrap)><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_SpeechRecognition>"
The application "AppleWorks" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "4<AppleWorks><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_SpeechRecognition>"
Here's what I've tried...
I have tried to install combo update 10.3.9. .. didn't work.
My computer was purchased in 2004... just moved to a new house... do not know where my installation dvd is... so to reboot on that is not an option.
I tried disk repair permissions... didn't work!
I opened my log console to view the crash logs... and it appears a lot has crashed... but I can not understand what any of it means!?!
Can anyone help or offer some advice?
Can anyone understand a crash log if I post it?
Please help!?! Taking an online masters course and this is a major dilemma!
Thanks,
Lindsay

Hi Lindsay,
"Can I get one from a mac store? Does it have to be the original one I used when I purchased my mac?"
No, you can no longer purchase 10.3 Panther disks from Apple Stores, online or otherwise. You may however, be able to purchase replacement disks for your computer (if Mac OS 10.3 were the original install disks that came with your mac) by calling Apple and explaining and having the serial number ready of the computer.
If your installation of 10.3 was an upgrade you can purchase retail copies of 10.3 disks online from many resellers, such as on ebay or sites such as FastMac, but be sure to purchase a retail box set and not upgrade or machine specific disks.
Did you perform all of the steps that Kappy steered you to in Dr. Smoke's FAQ first and your only option left is the Archive and Install?

Adding shared library to project fails

We've created a shared library of content and look & feel updates to Portal 9.2 mp1.
Started by creating a new web and app project. Made sure it works in a test portal.
I followed Floyd Jones instructions on creating shared J2EE libs.
Created a "simple project" copied the files (with exception of the webcontent folder - but all its contents). Created the Manifest file. Saved it as a .war in the modules folder.
Create a new web and app project for testing. When I pull in the library, portal doesn't seem to work following the instructions (Can't find WebLogic J2EE Libraries option to add). So I add the J2EE libraries via the project properties. When I link to the war file, the manifest information does not appear. Instead just the name of the actual .war file.
I can add the versions. Workshop requires me to edit the weblogic.xml file to pull in the library.
But no luck. My suspicion is there's something wrong with the library as it can't read the manifest. When I open the manifest inside the .war file all the information is there.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks...martin

you'll have to physically put all the songs on to the computer that doesnt have it. to do this go to start>my network places and if you are on a network his computer should show up. You'll probably need to enable sharing for your My Music folder (just assuming thats where you music is at) and just copy it over.

Remote app on iPad2 not showing iTunes interface on ATV2 shared library

I have an AppleTV 2 that's sharing an iTunes library via home sharing over Ethernet from a Mac Mini. Running Remote App on my iPhone 5S, I can control that library as expected. Running Remote App on my iPad2, however, I'm unable to see the main iTunes-like interface that lists songs, albums, artists, etc. on the shared library. While I can see the currently playing song at the top of the screen and have access to the Back, Pause, and Forward buttons, the main pane below that only shows the icons for Home Sharing and Using Gestures. Under Home Sharing, where it says "Tap the Apple TV button in the bottom left...," there's not Apple TV button, only "Devices." I can use the gestures interface in Remote App on the iPad2 to control playback, but I never see the main library interface. Any thoughts you have for remedying this would be really appreciated!

Well the response I got to the above post was outstanding!
Shall we put this in the bracket along with "If a tree falls in the forest with no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?"
If anyone is wondering, for my party I ended up using my Mac as the server for the iTunes DJ. And I discovered that if more than 5-7 people try to get onto it, it crashes the whole system and the music stops. Glorious.
