Essbase & Analyzer Backup

Hi everybody,In Essbase 6.1 and Analyzer Release 5.03, is there anyway to do the backup automatically such as a script or something? It would be much easier if we can schedule it at a certain period of time when we want to make a backup operation.Thanks.

For Essbase, you can create a batch file that does beginarchives to put the databases in read only mode then do your backup, then do endarchives to put the databases back into read/write mode. You can use Windows scheduler or a third party scheduler to schedule these at a specific time. For Analyzer, use SQLserver scheduler to do a backup of the database at a scheduled time. Glenn S.

  • Essbase data backup - 9.3.1

    Hi All,
    I have a question around Essbase data backups.
    We are on 9.3.1 and the Essbase data files (.ind and .pag) are under the default location (Hyperion\Essbase\App etc).
    One of our apps is 70gb and gets backed up nightly.
    Now is it necessary to take an export of the data for the backup to be complete? My main concern is that exporting 70GB of data will take hours.
    If for some reason we need to restore this app to another server, will copying all files under the Essbase\App\Appname folder also restore the data?
    Thanks for your help.
    Seb

    Provided the Essbase application & database is stopped when the backup occurs, backing up the ind and pag files, as well as the Database outline(*.otl), *.tct , *.db, *.dbb, *.esm files should allow you to recover from a backup. I have had successfull recoveries from standard file backup of these files without issue, and in pretty good time.
    I have not tried to restore to a different server. Usually when migrating, I copy the outline over, and export data from one database and import to the other.

  • Essbase Perform backup, recovery, application migration and task automation

    Hi Everyone,
    I am very new (actually starting) to Essbase and trying to learn it from the documentation and examples available on the web. At my job, we just are planning to use Hyperion Essbase for planning and budgeting application. As I am the Oracle DBA so the installation and admin tasks are falling on my shoulders. Can you please refer me to the documentation, Note or References for Essbase Performing backups, recovery, application migration, task automation and optimization. Or a starting point from where I can explore the Essbase administration part only.
    Thanks

  • Has somebody already tried HTBase - Essbase Hot Backup Tool?

    Dear all,
    You guys know this tool (HTBase - Essbase Hot Backup)?
    Is it neccesary to enable transaction loggin from essbase.cfg to make it work?.
    I look fordward to your responses. Regards.

    I saw a demo of it by Bruno and it works. They have a fewer other products in the pipeline. I am almost certain you did not need to enable transactional logging as we debated the benefit of the tool if transactional logging was enabled and regulary data exports were performed. I do not know of anyone using at the moment.
    Thanks,

  • Essbase/ Analyzer 5.0.x server setup/ thin client access

    Hi all,We are in the process of implementing Analyzer/ Essbase in our company, and would like to have it spread throughout the enterprise. We are very new to this and somewhat inexperienced. We would definitely like to use thin client for Analyzeer, b/c of the many different departments/ # of users, and to plan for future growth. We are currently using Essbase v. 6.1.4 and would like to use Analyzer to view the data, along with reports creation. The server is configured as follows:c: (OS,Hyperion software)-4GB NT4 sp6a128 d: (index) 10 GB e: (data) 80-100 Gb We have plenty of disk space and memory.Can anyone, from experience, please assist me wih config. recommendations- hardware, and software, along with virtual memory, IIS config? I have read the manuals, but would like to hear from users with real-life experience. Thank you in advance- any input is greatly appreciated. Take care...

    If you are going to use the web based Analyzer, you may want to consider 6.0. I do not believe Analyzer 5.0 web client has all the functionality of 5.0 windows client. Analyzer 6.0 web addresses this issue.As for installation, because of some of the web application setup complexities, we had a Hyperion consultant install it for us. We are using Oracle 8.1.7 as the respository and IIS as our web server.Hope this helps.Patrick DeKenippBusiness Systems AnalystEstee Lauder [email protected]

  • Product Positioning Essbase/Analyzer versus Hyperion Intelligence

    We have both Analyzer and Intelligence as well as Essbase. We are in the process of defining standards as to when each tool or combination of tools would be utilized as a solution. The tools overlap a bit, so I am seeking assistance. Please help!!

    I was just reading Analyzer 7.0 Administrator's Guide which has a pretty detailed description of what is needed to be done for Analyzer. It also references the common file used in the setup, so I expect that there is similar documentation in the current release of Essbase.I've been looking forward to implementing this for a number of years as Hyperion has moved slowly. Now it looks like this fall, I'll be able to use external authentication for Essbase and Analyzer.

    Hi Abhishek,
    As GlennS mentioned  it will be better if you take complete backup of Application from /EssbaseServer/essbaseserver1/app/<AppNameC> and <AppnameR> also you can write MaxlScript to automate backup process.
    Go through below link.

  • Essbase Automated Backup

    Hello all,
    I want to export data from my BSO cube on a daily schedule. However I do not want to overwrite the previous day's txt file, but instead keep that as well. Is there anyway I can automate such data backup process?
    Thank you.

    Google batch (or shell script if on UNIX) rolling backups, you'll get dozens of ways to do this. Most consultants have at least a few of these in their bag of tricks, if you have any on site, ask around.
    If you want to fully automate this with logging, benchmarking, email alerts, etc. in a easy to use graphical interface, take a look at Accelatis.

  • Storing Multiple Essbase Backups

    Hello,
    We currently run a nightly backup using the MaxL script below. Due to a change in business practices, we now need to save mulitple days worth of backups instead of writing over the previous night's backup, as we do in this script. Does anyone know of a way to include today's date in the name of the file? Right now we have it named as Plan1BkupLv0.txt but I would like it to read "Date"Plan1BkupLv0.txt, where "Date" represents the date the backup is run. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

    Hi GlennS,
    Thank you so much for the response. I am not versed in MaxL or batch scripts so the easier, the better for me. I am just trying to adjust scripts that consultants wrote during our Hyperion implementation. Below is what I now have for the batch script after adding your suggested changes and is not creating the mulitple files. Would you have a suggestion as to what I have done wrong and how to fix it? Thanks again!

  • Backwards and upwards compatibility on essbase, EAC and Analyzer

    we have running essbase/analyzer/EAC 7.1 environment and a running essbase/planning 9.3.1 environment.
    It occurs to us that modifying the 9.3.1 environment with the EAS7.1 tool results in a essbase crash (without any information in the essbase log files).
    Is there any information for essbase about upwards and backwards compatibility from 7.1 and 9.3.1.

    Detlev

    In addition to Nathan's comments this would be a platform that Oracle hasn't regression tested. So even if it were to appear to work if you encountered an issue Oracle would be justified and asking you to re-create the same issue on a supported platform.
    In my opinion if this is a production application this is a risk you should not take.
    If you are playing with an internal environment and want to learn more about Win2K8 that's one thing. Realizing most folks will give you the "It's not supported line" when you start asking why EPMA, FDM, and HFM do not work with IIS 7.x

  • Restore essbase.sec file to another server

    Dear all,
    I've restored several databases from our Develop server to another server.
    But can I just copy security file to that server?
    My concern is they have different numbers of app/db, will the security file work?
    if it doesnt work, how can I recover the security file of a certain database?
    Thank you in advance for your help!!

    Singlejoe,
    You are going to have problems if you don't match up the app/dbs on your target server.
    Assuming that your source dev server has more databases than the target, before you copy over, create dummy apps/dbs on the target. Stop Essbase, and backup your to-be-replaced Essbase.sec. (A just-in-case copy to retain whatever security, filters, etc. you may have).
    If you have more/different apps/dbs on your target, I would archive them (full backup to text, copy all relevant artifacts, etc.) and then delete. Then follow the paragraph above. The point is to make the app/db folders look exactly the same to Essbase.sec.
    Then copy over your source Essbase.sec to your target, delete the dummy apps/dbs and you should be good to go.

  • Essbase.Sec corruption and relation with Planning

    Hi all,
    Is there any relation for Essbase security file with other Hyperion tools ?
    We have security in Shared Services and have variety of Hyperion tools. If Essbase security file gets corrupted and restored backup is historical then will it has impact on security of other tools like Planning, FR, etc ? I understand we have to rebuilt security for Essbase since the historical restored file.
    Thanks in Advance.

    HN,
    You should really have a nightly backup of your security file. It's easy to force it to a backup file (or just take whatever the latest backup is but I think I like the force backup approach even better) and thus not have to stop Essbase to get the critical information. See this thread:

  • Migration to Shared Services

    Has anyone had much luck migrating security to shared services? Or have you had to just recreate your security in the new system? We're trying to migrate from Hyperion 7.1(Essbase, Analyzer, Intelligence) to Oracle EPM 11G and are running into some issues with groups and provisioning. Nothing specific, I'm just wondering if it would be easierto just recreate our system and if anyone has run into similar issues.

    There is a utility under cssimportexport utility under Hyperion/Commom/Utilities.This should be of some help when migrating users/groups provisioning.
