Essbase Analytics Link 11.1.2.2.301

I implemented EAL, and it appears to work fine. I have a few questions:
1. Metadata automation - John Goodwin mentioned in another post that it could be done using Web Services in EAL. I couldn't find anything on this point. Any specific guidance is highly appreciated!
2. HFM allows duplicates, but Essbase is normally configured without duplicates. In such case, EAL will rename duplicate members and duplicate aliases. For example, if both the member name and its alias are duplicated, EAL renames them as follows: MemberName will be renamed to Dimension.MemberName, and Member Alias will be renamed to MemberAlias (MemberName). It looks really ugly on reports, to the point it may be unacceptable. An alternative would be to allow duplicates in Essbase, but the maintenance of that animal may be even worse. Any thoughts on this?
3. I will also use the extracted data in the Planning App, that has a little different dimensionality. What is the most efficient way to transfer data (not metadata) from cube to cube - xref, maxl extract and load, etc.?
Thank you in advance!
Igor

Correct me if I am wrong but it sounds like you have just downloaded EAL and not the Oracle universal installer.
You can download the OUI 11.2 from Oracle Support - Patch 9944828
The OUI needs to be 32bit even if you installing 64bit EAL on windows

Has Anyone Been Able to Stand Up Essbase Analytics Link (EAL) for Financial Management in version 11.1.2.2?

Has anyone had any luck standing up the Essbase Analytics Link (EAL) for Financial Management Application in 11.1.2.2? We are to the point where when we click on the “Create Bridge Application” it creates an application and database in EAS and then crashes the Hyperion Essbase Analytics Link Server - Web Application . Prior to this we were getting a NetRetry and NetDelay error and have increased those settings are are not receiving those same errors. I’m curious if 11.1.2.2 is even a functioning version of EAL or if we are out of luck until the next version. Any feedback is appreciated.

FYI, we were able to get EAL up and running after adding the following entries into the registry on our servers...
Solution
This timeout issue can be fixed by adding two tcpip registry parameters, but first you must identify which client was communicating with essbase when the timeout occurred so that you know which machine to add the parameters to. If all the EAL and EPM components are installed on a single machine, then that machine would also host the client. If products are installed in a distributed environment you determine the client machine based on how the EAL Essbase Server component is defined.
The APS URL is part of the Analytics Link, Essbase Server definition in EAL.
If the value (APS URL) is "Embedded" this means that the EAL Application Server is communicating via the JAPI directly with the Essbase Server. In this case the EAL AppServer is the client to the Essbase Server. For this case the following tcpip registry parameters need to go on the machine where the EAL Application Server is running.
If the (APS URL) value is http://serverName:13080/aps/JAPI then the EAL Application Server is communicating by way of Hyperion Provider Services (APS). In this case EAL proxies requests to and from the Essbase Server through APS. This means that APS is the client to the Essbase Server and the tcpip registry parameters need to go on the machine where Hyperion Provider Services are running.
Once you have identified which machine is acting as the client to essbase, set the TcpTimedWaitDelay=30 and MaxUserPort=65534 parameters via the windows registry.
1. Open the Windows Registry.
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters.
3. Add new DWORD Value named "TcpTimedWaitDelay"
- right click and select Modify
- Select "decimal" radio button, type in 30.
4. Add new DWORD Value named MaxUserPort
- right click and select Modify
- Select "decimal" radio button, type in 65534
5. A reboot of the server is necessary.

Location of Essbase Analytics Link (EAL) Repository Parameters?

In Essbase Analytics Link (EAL), where are the EAL repository parameters stored? I believe I saw a param or .ini file but I can't seem to locate it within the application directory. I am trying to locate this because I have reconfigured EAL to use a different database for its repository but it is still pointing to the original database despite what the config tool indicates.

You may need to update the JDBC information stored in WebLogic if the web application was not redeployed, you can either edit the datasource through the weblogic admin console or go to <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\config\jdbc\EAL_Repository-xxxx-jdbc.xml

Handling HFM Shared Members in Essbase Analytics Link (EAL)

We have an entity dimension in HFM with Shared Members in an alternate hierarchy. The shared members happen to be parents and when the metadata is synchronized in EAL, only the shared parent is brought into the alternate hierarchy in our EAL cube. We'd like to find a way to bring all of the descendents of the shared parent into our cube but Essbase does not allow it. Is there a way to prefix the shared members during synchronization so the EAL cube contains the same structure as HFM while accommodating the need for unique member names in Essbase?

I've seen this kind of behaviour in EAL when using both 11.1.1.3 versions. Could you let me know what are your EPM and EAL versions?
May be your EAL will require a patch.
Cheers.

Essbase Analytics for HFM-HFM application connection cannot be established.

Hi,
I have created a Bridge for Analytics & in the summary HFM Server/Application status is displayed as 'Not Available'.
I have given correct details/credentials for HFM server.
Can anyone tell that what can be possible reasons for the same?

Hi HP,
The Essbase Analytics Link and HFM needs to be registered with the same Shared Services. Hope you are doing the same.
Thanks & Regards

Essbase Analytics for HFM- Data Update Agent Status

Hi,
In Essbase Analytics for HFM, Data Update Agent status is showing 'Not Active', so as 'Analytic Link Data' status.
The Start/Stop option for the same is disabled. Other connectivity statuses in Bridge are all 'Available'.
What needs to be done to make Data Update status 'Active'.

Hi HP,
The Essbase Analytics Link and HFM needs to be registered with the same Shared Services. Hope you are doing the same.

Features and enhancement for Essbase 9 (Essbase analytics 9)

Hello, We have applications working with essbase 7.1.So we try to know if we must migrate to the new version (module"Essbase analytics"). I've got questions about this :- what i understand : if we want the new version of essbase, wehave to take the "Hyperion System 9 BI+ EssabseAnalytics" product (which includes many applications we don'treally need in the package). Is that true?- does "essbase analytics " really provideenhancements against Essbase 7 or does it just a new package? Ifthere are enhancements, what are they? Perhaps, does it exist documentation about this subject, but idon't find them. So, i really have difficult to retrieveinformations about the real enhancement provided by this newpackaged version. Thanks a lot for your help Math

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for your quick response.
What i am trying to do is to install essbase client in Business Object which is in Windows server 2003.Business Object access data from remote essbase cube.
So i need to install drivers or client in my windows server so that we will be able to connect to essbase cube.
In our BO guide it's mention that you need either Excel Add in or Runtime client to be installed in your Server.
I tried in my client machine it works but when i install the runtime client on server i try to connect to essbase cube it doesn't shows Essbase in Provider just like in case of Analysis Server it shows Microsoft OLEDB Provider for OLAP services 8.0,9.0 it does,nt show essbase.So there is somethingt wrong regarding installation.
Is there any issuus like we can't install essbase client on windows server 2003 and we have to install essbase server?How to resolve the issue?
Regarding the Essbase version its Essbase 9.3.1
Thank you

Hi, I am using InDesign CS6 v8.0.1 and am trying to create a hyperlink from the document to a webpage. The version of Adobe is XI v 11.0.3. If you say the version that I am using has issues with hyperlinks, do you think I will be able to find a way round it?
So when I enter the following hyperlink using the interactive > New Hyperlink functions
https://etl.decc.gov.uk/etl/site/news/High-Speed-Hand-Air-Dryers.html?utm_source=Newslette r&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=March

How does Essbase Analtyical Link/snapshots works

Hi ,
I am new to HFM and Essbase Analytical Link. Though I know certain basics of both i would like to understand the below. Also, all documents related are like admin quides and user guides.
1) What are EAL snapshots ? Im able to see .data files created in the Work/Store folder. How are these created and what do they contain?
2) When users are trying to view data from Smartview using data created by Essbase Analytical link, are they viewing the Data from the .data files created?
3) How does EAL bridge work? i.e. what data does it take from HFM?
If anyone can explain the above in a way a newbie can understand, it will be great.
Thanks,

In Addition to the above comments;
1) What are EAL snapshots ? Im able to see .data files created in the Work/Store folder. How are these created and what do they contain?
      DSS - Data Synchronization Server will refreshes these .data files that are stored in the /Work/Store Folder.
       You may get doubt on how the data refresh happens from HFM Relational Tables into the Files that are stored on the Windows Servers. As far as I know, LiveLink Processes connects to the HFM Schema and extracts data into Text File format. It will definitely give chances to ask one more question like
                Where is the Configuration Parameter setting which LiveLink Process connects to HFM Relational database?
               I am not sure about that,some one who has wider experience on the EAL & DSS can update this question.
2) When users are trying to view data from Smartview using data created by Essbase Analytical link, are they viewing the Data from the .data files created?
      If you have created any bridges, there are 3 Options to choose the types of Partitions -> Transparent, Replicated & Not Connected Outline.
      My experience is with the Transparent Partition only; Any Smartview and Financial Reports users will connect to the Essbase Application and retrieves the data from .data Files through the Transparent partition set on the Bridges. Here the Source is DSS Server and the Target is the Essbase server where the Outline resides.
3) How does EAL bridge work? i.e. what data does it take from HFM?
     Now that you have might have understood that different parameters required to setup the bridges. With out EAL Bridges, you can't create the Essbase Database(outline) and can't synchronize the mappings and Data Refresh intervals can be set on the EAL Bridge. This will update the HFM relational data into .data files.
To All; Feel free to correct me if my above understanding is wrong, please.
Regards
UB

Doubt in EAL (Essbase Analytic Link)

Hi All,
I have doubt in EAL (Essbase Analytic Link)
I was not able to find the 'Target Design Grid' tab and 'Connection Type' tab (to set replicate or transparent partition) and 'Security migration' options under 'Essbase' tab in Bridge Window. Any specific selection we need to do for this?
Also, Analytic link repository will contain the tables (metadata) similar to HFM repository which will create the essbase outline. But we make partition with Data synchronizing server with essbase. So it means DSS database also have same tables as Analytic link repository? At what time the DSS database is getting populated?
I gave a try many times by reading Oracle docs but some little doubts are still pending . Hope i will get a reply from you as usual
Thanks,
Abhi

Install Essbase Analitycs Link

hi all my question is simple, I have two servers one windows and one linux.
in the windows servers is installed HFM and in the linux serversis installed ESSBASE and wanted to know which of them should be installed Essbase Link Analitycs.
Thanks.

There are multiple components with EAL, you obviously would put the web components where Weblogic is installed, as for the data sync server that can all depend because it can be resource hungry.

It looks like that now it's possible to download Hyperionproducts through the Oracle Web Site. Check these links: http://licensecodes.oracle.com/hyperion.html edelivery.oracle.com hope it helps. A.M.K.

Essbase Analytics - Essbase & HFM to be on a same server ?

Hi,
Is it mandatory that Essbase & HFM is to be installed on the same server for analytics to work?

Thanks Jonh for your quick reply...
But do they need to be under same Foundation & shared services ?
Because my Essbase & HFM installations are on totally different servers with diff shared/Foundation services.
I am trying to establish bridge between them & in Summary it showing HFM Server Not Available.
