Essbase 11.1.1 not escaping ampersand in XMLA

We are using Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS 2008 SP1 CU3) to report against Hyperion Essbase 11.1.1 using the XMLA interface. When reporting against specific cubes with "&" (ampersands) in the name of measures (such as "Services & Support"), we are running into problems where SSRS will reject the message as being "unrecognized".
Troubleshooting have shown that Essbase is not correctly escaping the ampersand characters in the messages being send by Essbase to SSRS. I'll include an example of the XML being sent by Essbase:
<EXPRESSION>"EBITDA" - "Depreciation & Amortization"-"Goodwill & Intangibles"-"Other Income & Expense"-"806140";</EXPRESSION> <---- Ampersand not escaped
<MEASURE_NAME>Customization &-a-m-p-; Implementation</MEASURE_NAME> <--- Ampersand escaped, note: this forum interprets the escaping of ampersand's and I added dashes to illustrate the point
Can somebody please confirm if there is a way to work around this problem in Essbase (setting?) or if this is a bug in the interface.

Hi,
I can only comment that &---> is reserved for substitution variable in Essbase. It may be creating this kind of error.
Elsewhere we use " " to use &.
Thanks

Essbase error:You do not have sufficient access to perform a lock on this..

Hi all,
I tried to retrieve the members in the spreadsheet addin client and I am getting the error as follows:
Essbase error: You do not have sufficient access to perform a lock on this database.
But Iam trying to do only a retrieve operation. Essbase version is 9.3.0.1.02 and OS is windows XP.
Also under Essbase->options->Mode tab, the check box update mode was unchecked.
I was able to do the operation before without any error and suddenly Iam facing this issue.
Can anyone help me on the above
Thanks in advance,

Essbase admin server is not responding in 11.1.2.2 and related services ??

Hi All,
I've installed & configured Hyperion 11.1.2.2. When i entered admin & password in EAS console, the message is displaying as Essbase Administration server is not responding. Can you pls. let me know, what is the service for Essbase Admin services. Also when i'm trying the link http://servername:9000/interop, page not found is displaying. Is it must that Hyperion Configuration Manager service should be up & running ? Where i can find the service for shared services ? where i can find all the related services of different hyperion products. Thanks in advance for the help
Thanks,

If you have deployed all the web applications to a single managed server then there will be one service to start the web apps - "Hyperion EPM Server - Web Application"
You can tell in the configurator if you have deployed the web apps to a single managed server and - http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vhvxHXJ6C18/T4Wa0iSeW8I/AAAAAAAAEfg/v7ktkUIqmug/s1600/image023.png
The default port is 9000, if you are still having problems then it is worth checking the logs.

Import from Excel not escaping quote (')

Hi,
I'm having problems with text fields in an Excel spreadsheet that contain single quotes (') not being escaped when the insert commands are built using the Import from Excel wizard.
It's pretty much the same problem as that described in the post below (but for importing Excel spreadsheets):
<Re: DDL in the SQL tab does not escape apostrophes
SQLDev 1.2.1.32.00
WinXP SP2
Excel 2003
Any chance of getting this fixed?
Thanks,
Simon

OK, so have updated to
SQLDev 1.2.1.32.13
and still see problem when importing from Excel.
The generated SQL looks like this:
insert into INV_CONTAINERS (CONTAINER_NAME) VALUES('Tetramethylethylenediamine, N,N,N',N'-');
That's supposed to be just one item in the VALUES term.
Is there another way to do this? If not, how do I lodge this as a bug?

Url Not Escaped in Podcast Content

I am using ITunes v. 6.0.1.3 on WinXp and when subscribing to a podcast you must manually escape the url if it contains a space. Also if the content URL contains spaces iTunes will not escape that URL either and will error out while trying to download content.
How can I submit an official bug report?
Try and subscribe to this podcast: http://channel9.msdn.com/rss.aspx?ForumID=34&Mode=0&sortby=0&sortorder=1&format= mp3
All the content except the very oldest podcasts will fail to download because most of the new content is using spaces in the url for the content.
Thanks,
Adam
... sorry for the cross post my op should have been to this forum first.

Hi
I have some workaround for you.
You can open the URL in the Portal Content Area.
1. you have to create a portal component project to create a par file.
use the below code in jsp:
<table>
<tr width="100%" height="100%">
<td width="70%" border="1"><div style="background-color: rgb(194, 220, 255);font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12px; display: block;">
Please click <a href="http://google.com" target='_blank'> here </a>to open google..<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
</td>
<td width="30%"><div style="background-color: rgb(194, 220, 255);font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12px; display: block;"></td>
</div>
</tr>
</table>
2. export par to your portal from system admin -> support -> portal runtime - admin console
3. create a iview with the portal component.
4. change the iview properties to show in new window = false etc..
hope this will help

Diff tool - Bug with comments not escaped

Diff tool in version 3.1.07
I have a new table that includes comments on the columns. Some of those comments have single quotes in them like in the words "don't" or "user's". The diff script is not escaping those quotes in the CREATE TABLE DDL so the DDL fails.
Another issue is that semicolons are not placed at the end of CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW statements.
Edited by: EdInWisconsin on Feb 13, 2012 8:39 AM

Found another issue:
Forward slashes not placed at end of statements to create/replace packages or procedures. This caused several of my procs to run together and was pretty obvious once it happened but easy to miss when reviewing the script and obviously caused problems.

CF8 - XmlFormat not escaping High ASCII characters

In CF8, we have a problem where XmlFormat is not escaping
High ASCII characters. This was working just fine on our CF7
instance, but in CF8, it is not escaping all characters. I am aware
of the long-standing problem with escaping Windows-1252 characters,
but now we are experiencing an issue with basic high ASCII
characters, like chr(233) and chr(244). Is anyone else experiencing
this issue? We have not installed Update 1 to CF8 yet. I don't see
a fix for this in the release note, but any word on if this is
fixed by the updater?
Here is a test to demonstrate the issue:
<cfset myString = "The Islamic Republic of Mauritania's
(République Islamique de Mauritanie) 2007 estimated population
is 3,270,000. Cote d'Ivoire and Côte d'Ivoire">
<cfset myNewString = XmlFormat(myString)>
<cfoutput>#myNewString#</cfoutput>

BKBK,
Thanks for the info. Adding the processingdirective does help
show that these characters are being escaped, however, the behavior
has changed somewhat between CF7 and CF8, as we were not using a
processingdirective in CF7, and this was working as advertised.
Where this is giving us a problem is after we create an XML
document using CFXML, (ensuring that we XmlFormat any strings), we
then validate that document against a schema, and we are all of a
sudden getting errors during validation for invalid characters
within the XML. We are using ToString() after creating the XML
document with CFXML, and our process is the same as we were using
in CF7. That is why I was curious if anyone else was having this
same issue... because something definitely changed between CF7 and
CF8 with XML processing.

Escaped ampersand still causes LPX-00242 in xmltype.transform

Running Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
Collecting input from web form, and fetching via SQLX functions to then transform into html and plain text documents. If the "&" is inputted... the SQLX functions does escape it to "&"... but the LPX-00242 error is still raised when sending to xmltype.transform.
A simple test case:
set define off;
declare
l_xsl xmltype;
l_xml xmltype;
begin
l_xsl := xmltype('<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
Hello <xsl:value-of select="//name"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>');
l_xml := xmltype('<test><name>Jane&John Doe</name></test>');
dbms_output.put_line(l_xml.transform
                                    (l_xsl
                                    ).getclobval ());
end;the above code raises this exception:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00241: entity reference is not well formed
Error at line 3
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 138
ORA-06512: at line 20If I rerun the above block... but change the xml string to <test><name>Jane &amp; John Doe</name></test>
I now get the following exception:
Error at line 2
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00242: invalid use of ampersand ('&') character (use &)
Error at line 3
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 138
ORA-06512: at line 20If I change the xml string to <test><name>Jane &amp;amp; John Doe</name></test>.. no exceptions and displays the following:
Hello Jane &amp; John Doe
any reason why the SQLX function escaping is not sufficient and I need to double-escape it? The working version is not ideal, since I now have to decode the entity reference back to it's character, otherwise the entity reference code is displayed in the content.

Hi tsuji,
Interesting discussion, really, but I fail to see how the way we're generating the XMLType instance in the first place is important for any subsequent transformation.
You said :
That part is well noticed. And that precisely poses problem.and,
[6.2] But the working (at least for this sample) of the latter but not the former using xmltype() precisely pose the problem of either xmltype().transform() implementation contains bug [...]Could you explain again what you think works and what doesn't?
I may be missing something but all these appear to work correctly :
SQL> var xsldoc varchar2(4000)
SQL> begin
2   :xsldoc := '<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

5 ;
RESULT
Hello Jane&John Doe
In any case, you know well there is a something fishy going on, one way of looking at it or another.Yes, I agree. For sure, Oracle XSLT processors are not bug-free.
For the case we're looking at now, the essence of the XMLType datatype is probably more to blame than the XSLT processor though.
A little off-topic addendum about the method="html" output :
SQL> select xmltransform(xmlelement("test",
2           xmlelement("name", 'Jane&John Doe')
3         ),'<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
4 <xsl:output method="html" encoding="iso-8859-15" indent="yes"/>
5 <xsl:template match="/"><html><head/><body><p><xsl:value-of select="//name"/></p></body></html>
6 </xsl:template>
7 </xsl:stylesheet>').getclobval()
8 as result
9 from dual;
RESULT
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html" charset="iso-8859-15">
</meta>
</head>
<body>
<p>Jane&John Doe</p>
</body>
</html>
Not perfect but the method seems supported too.

Template with data variables will not insert ampersand

Dear clever people
I have an illustrator template (saved as .ai) which contains some text boxes and some images. I have tagged these as text and linked file dynamics, so that I can create a series of files with slightly different text and pictures when I load a variable library from an xml file.
My problem - some of my text routinely includes ampersands and whenever I try and load a variable libaray containing "&" I get an error message saying "The filter cannot complete because of an unkown error."
Is there some way I can explain to Illustrator what an ampersand is, and that refusing to insert it into my template is not the sort of helpful behaviour expected of a computer application?
I'm using illustrator 10.0.3 with windows xp.
Thank you in advance for any replies!

Not sure, but sounds like a coding problem. The usual way to avid these is to "escape" characters by preceding them with a backslash in the source database/ document. \& might therefore work. Another way is to enclose it in quotes "&". Dunno, I came here for help myself, but these are generic programming tips that may work.

Essbase login failed & Cluster not available in Shared Services

Hi,
I have installed & configured the EPM 11.1.2.2 in compact deployment mode i.e. deployed to Embedded weblogic server. Shared Services, Essbase, Planning & Reporting are installed successfully.
I am able to login to Shared Services, Workspace & EAS console with my admin account. But I am unable to login to Essbase from EAS console, MAXL & ESSCMD.
When I am logging with MAXL or EAS console, I am getting login failed error.
Even EssbaseCluster-1 is not available under Application Groups in Shared Services. Only Reporting & Foundation are there.
Please help me what went wrong.
Thanks,
Naveen

Essbase Excel Add in not working

Hi All,
I have installed hyperion 11.1.2.2 version in windows 2008 server(64 bit system)
Server is up and running fine.!
I have installed Excel addin, then i got one issue here. When i opened excel, Smartview is displayed on the top but Essbase is not displayed. I tried so many ways, but no use.
give me some suggestions regarding to solve this issue..!
Thanks,
mady

Mady, I hope you were not trying to open the Add-Ins directly from Windows. The Essbase XLL and XLA work within Excel as Add-Ins, not as executables. When I doubled-clicked on the XLL and XLA, I got the Microsoft Security warning, which I assume that is what you were doing wrong. You can also google Excel Add-Ins on how to manage it if you are not sure what to do. It's very straight forward.

Best,
Veerannna Ronad.

Hi Manaf,
Seems you are also facing same problem. This problem comes when shared service failed to start. There is dependency with OpenLDAP. OpenLDAP service most of the time gets corrupted. You need to recover this service. There is a recover exe located at <<Hyperion installation folder>>\products\Foundation\openLDAP\var\openldap-data\db_recover.exe, run this and start the Essbase services in sequences.
Service starting sequence:
1) Hyperion Foundation Shared Services - Web Application
2) Hyperion Essbase Services 11.1.1 - hypservice_1
3) Hyperion Administration Services - Web Application
and rest you can start as required.
This should solve your problem.
Best,
Veeranna Ronad.

UIX 2.1.7: Howto NOT escape HTML

Hi all,
we are using UIX 2.1.7 together with BC4J 9.0.3. We have a bc4j:table that displays data from a view object. One of the VO attributes contains HTML (just tags for formatting bold, italics, ...). When the UIX page is displayed, the HTML is not rendered but printed as-is, i.e. with tags, because UIX seems to escape the brackets to entities.
Is there a way to prevent this? If not, which would be the preferred way to display formatted HTML coming from a database?
Thanks for any help,
Markus.

Markus -
Try using the <formattedText> element to display your text. <formattedText> passes through a variety of (but not all) HTML tags - see the entry in the UIX Element Reference for the details...

Essbase Studio, Grid is not well formed !!

Hi All,
Everything in Studio is prepared for a drill through on an Essbase model.
A report is created and after pressing the button Show Result the first 20 rows appear on the screen.
Switching to SmartView a selection is made and on a cell a balloon is showing that drill through is available.
When selecting Drill Through reports from the SmartView menubar a menu appears, because to reports are prepare.
Clicking on the first report an error messages appears: Grid is not well formed !!
Do you have any idea what went wrong or what is going on.
Thanks a lot for your prompt response !!
Regards,
Ed

There is a patch for that. The error is in ASP. look fore patch 12987654
