Essbase Database Settings - Restore

Was wondering. When you restore a database from backup, is there a file that holds all the db settings like Data Cache, Index Cache etc.... Or do you always have to manually set them again?

I thought this information was held in the essbase.sec file, so depending on how you are restoring the values may still be stored.
Cheers

Hi,
Followiong could be the reasons of your problem: -
1- Try to restart application and then try to start database.
2- If point 1 not work then may be application process 'ESSSVR' for that application get hangh. So stop all app/db and check if any Esssvr is running from Task Manager then kill it.
3- Restart Essbase Server and try to restart db again.
4- If problem still persists then may be your db got corrupted and please restore it from backup.
5- Also from your posted error, it is looking that Essbase internal application $DM_APP$ is either missing or corrupted so please make it in following ways:-
5.1. Shut down Essbase
5.2. Rename essbase.sec to essbasebackup.sec
5.3. Rename $DM_APP$ directory, e.g., Backup_$DM_APP$ if it exists but if it doesn't do not worry about it.
5.4. Restart Essbase. At this point, a new essbase.sec is created,along with a new $DM_APP$ directory and files associated withit.
5.5. From EAS, make sure Data Mining part is working
5.6. Shutdown Essbase
5.7. Rename essbase.sec to essbasenew.sec
5.8. Rename essbasebackup.sec to essbase.sec
5.9. Start Essbase
5.10. Check to make sure Data Mining part is working
5.11. Try renaming application or load db
5.12. Once all is working, remove essbasenew.sec.
Hope it will help pyou.

Have you tried restarting the services and giving it a try?
Which version of Essbase/Planning are you on?
If your Essbase server name has more than 30 characters, please use NODENAME with short server name.

As for adding members to the outline, you can either do it manually (not too painful for a Time Periods dimension), or if you have the members you need in a file, or available via SQL, then load 'em up using a Load Rule. Using the Parent/Child relationship is one of the preferred methods, but that means your source data needs to be in a parent / child relationship.
There are other ways in the load rule, Generation, Level, etc, but if your source data isn't very good these methods of building the dimension can be a little harder to control.
Here's a link to the DBAG for dataload rules.

Path Problem: Can't Load Database Settings From A File

I am writing a swing application with the following functionality: 
(1) There is a base class that supports things like changing the look and feel – this is done via a JDialog that loads all the installed lafs from which the user selects a choice. 
(2) Enables the user to set/change the physical database properties – location, password usernames and the like. - 
The idea is that when the application starts up for the first time the user will be asked to provide the database settings and then they will be stored in a file and then every time the application starts the settings will be loaded from this file. This works out fine!!!!!!!!! 
 
Now here is the problem: 
All the above is supported by an abstract class that extends JFrame (I’ve put abstract after testing) - MySuperFrame. After testing, I packaged this class together with other utility classes into a jar file. 
So my application which inherits from MySuperFrame fails on start-up with an exception that the database settings file cannot be found – And I know that it is in the jar file. 
+ 
I think that my problem is the path and nothing but the path – or relative path.+ 
 
This is the structure of my project: 
There is the src and the bin directories and then there is an external folder (not a package inside these two folders) called files (this is where my database settings file is stored). 
How do I solve this problem? 
How do I make sure my application loads the settings file regardless of where it is? I thought of passing the database settings file to a constructor of a database settings dialog class. But I don’t know how to sort out the path issue. 
 
Please give me advice on how to implement that?

If the phone has already been set up, you will need to go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings to be able to go through the setup again. This time use Restore from Backup.

Database settings in SQL server

Hi,
Please provide SAP's recommendations for Database Settings when upgarding to BPC 7
1.Compatibility Level. Should it be (80) or (100)?
Compatibility Level of 80 = SQL 2000
Compatibility Level of 90 = SQL 2005
Compatibility Level of 100 = SQL 2008
2. Recovery Model (Simple or Full)
Thanks.
Raghu

Hi Raghu,
For 7.0
SQL Server 2000 is not supported
Compatibility Level of 90 = SQL 2005 if you are using SQL Server 2005
Compatibility Level of 100 = SQL 2008 if you are using SQL Server 2008
Recovery Model
It is depending by the disaster recovery model which customer would like to implement.
If for the customer lossing data for last 24 hours is an accepted then you can use SINGLE
If for the customer the data lost can be in maximum X hours (X< 24) then you have to use FULL.(and you have to implement
the backup maintenance plan according with this requirement).

Accessing Essbase database from BI Admin tool

Hi,
I want to create a new RPD using Essbase database.
I want to know how to configure Essbase data source so that I can use it for my rpd file.
I have BI server installed on server machine and BI admin tool on my laptop
I am using version 11.1.1.5.0
From manual what I understood that on BI server machine, Essbase client libraries must be installed and the same client libraries should also be installed on machine where BI admin tool is installed.
I tried to ask my collegues, but got different openions. Some of them said essbase client libraries are not required on machine where BI admin tool is installed.
Please tell me correct way and step to configure Essbase as datasource for my RPD, wether I need to create a DSN on my laptop poiting to Essbase datasouce , etc.
Thanks and Regards
Santosh

Hi Bala..
Thanks for your help
Can you tell me where is the bi-init.cmd file located?
I installed BI admin tool on my laptop, but could not find this file in any folder..
According to manual, I understand that to access Essbase data source, I need to install Essbase client libraries on BI server and on laptop where where BI admin tool is installed and
creeate two variables and set them in bi-init.cmd file.
Nw I want to know whether I need to create those two variabvles on BI server machine and update bi-init.cmd file on BI server or I need to create those two variables on my laptop where I have installed BI admin tool? As I mentioned above I dont see any bi-init.cmd file in BI admin installation which I did on my laptop.
Either my installation has not happened, or this file is created on BI server and not on my laptop ?
Please help me to understand the problem. I need to create Essbase datasousrce connectibvity and create a RPD based on this data source.
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks

Database in "Restoring" state --- HELP

Ok. I have spent hours on this already.
We were restoring a database from tape. The tape drive failed in the middle of the restore. So now we CANNOT restore from tape to try again.
Before I started the restore, I detached and made a copy of the database files.
The database is in "Restoring" state. All I want to do is DELETE the "restoring" database and attach the copy.
How do I get rid of this thing????? In 2000 it was an update of the sys.databases. In 2005, you cannot do that anymore.
SQL 2005 (9.0.2153)

I had a situation where my database showed restoring state and I couldn't run any queries and couldn't connect with our software.
What I did to get out of this situation is:
1. Stop all SQL related services from windows services.
2. I opened the DATA folder where the Ldf and Mdf files resides in the SQL directory, normally its like :
"C:\Program Files\***********\MSSQL\DATA
3. Then I copied both the Ldf and Mdf files of the database:
[db name].mdf and [db name]_log.ldf
I copied both of these files to another folder.
4. Then I started all the SQL related services (in step 1) again from windows services.
5. Started my MS SQL Management studio with normal login.
6. Right click on the culprit database and hit DELETE (to delete the database at all).
7. All the LDF and MDF files related to this database have gone from DATA folder (mentioned in step 2).
8. Created a new database with the same name (same name of the one I deleted in step 6 - the culprit database).
9. Then [database name]->right click -> tasks -> Take Offline.
10. I then Copied both the files (from step 3) back to the DATA folder (step 2).
11. [database name]->right click -> tasks -> Bring Online.
12. AlhamduLLilah , its all done.

Generating Essbase database for Hyperion PerformanceScorecard, HPS v1.1.1.3

Hi,
We're working with HPS v11.1.1.3. The Framework is developed without any issues.
A data source connection could be established for Essbase & synchronized periodically.
However, while we tried to generate the Essbase database from- Administration (menu) -> Star Schema Generation, we hit a roadblock. It failed with the below error message:
*"Exception generating Essbase cube (via Integration Services): Star Schema generation failed"*
Did any of you get to see the above error?
To troubleshoot, we did the below-
(i) The generated xml files (for OLAP Model & Metaoutline) are imported to an EIS catalog. No problem here.
(ii) When we manually tried to load the metadata from EIS, it didn't let us proceed due to an error: Two of the tables used in OLAP Model don't physically exist.* To our surprise, they do exist.
(iii) We manually modified the OLAP Model by deleting the troublesome tables & drag-n-dropped them again. Ofcourse, in this process, we had to tamper metaoutline too
(iv) Now, with the modified EIS artifacts, we were able to load the metadata _(,with very few rejects)._
Before raising an SR with Oracle, I thought of checking with you experts incase one of you happened to have faced this & got it resolved. Please advise.
Sorry for being verbose!
Thanks!

Hello friends!
I have the very same error. I've opened a a SR in the oracle support but till now no solution!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Unable to Retrieve Database Settings in MDM 7.1 Console

Hi,
I have installed MDM7.1 on AIX and on DB2 successfully.
Installed MDM Console 7.1 on my desktop and as part of Post steps I am able to mount the DB but while I am setting Database settings getting the error "unable to Retrieve Database settings" in MDM7.1.
Can any one please suggest on the same
Regards,
Srinivas

Hi Saini,
Thank you for your reply, I have gone through that thread. I have done all the settings required for MDM and DB2.
Only thing I havn't done is DB2 Client was not installed. Because our DB2 expert is saying that he has installed full DB2 installation and since DB2 and MDM are on the same box,
client software is not necessery. Is this correct..please advice.

CPO Oracle database settings

Hi,
The CPO install guide mention to modify the Oracle database settings as follow:
"For the Oracle DB instance dedicated to TEO, use the following script to change the case-sensitive settings in the Oracle database. The user must have database administrative rights to execute this script.
After changing the settings, the user must reset the database server.
Script
ALTER SYSTEM SET NLS_COMP=LINGUISTIC scope=spfile;
ALTER SYSTEM SET NLS_SORT=BINARY_CI scope=spfile; "
We are deploying TEO in an existing database containing other applications. Modifying the Database properties has indicated above may (still investigating) create issues with the other existing applications.
What is the impact of not applying the above changes to the database ?
Thank you,
JB

Julio suggested checking out these two bugs:
CSCtr89012 Oracle database is case sensitive
CSCts03785 Operations -> search is case sensitive in Oracle
He said it was close to the end of regression and was safer for them to ask for case insensitive settings.
The drawback to not having this would be some select type statements would not work or some things in tasks might not work...
ie. "task" would not match up with "Task"
I would suggest contacting Don Freeman and/or Julio Silveria for more information.

Create server role for backups (BACKUP DATABASE and RESTORE HEADERONLY)

Hello-
I wish to create a server role that will allow any users assigned to it to be able to issue a BACKUP DATABASE and RESTORE HEADERONLY for any database on the server. I've been searching Google and MSDN but haven't had much luck. I can create the
user (CREATE SERVER ROLE backupuser;) but don't really know how to assign the permissions to it that I want. I wish to keep the permissions as narrow as possible for good practice; I could just assign the user to the sysadmin group but that shouldn't
be necessary.
If anyone can help, I would much appreciate it.

Whenever you need to find out the required permissions for a command, the best way is to look up these commands in Books Online, and to the Permissions/Securities section. This is what I always do when people asks these questions, because I rarely knows
the answer by heart.
So, let's see what the topic for BACKUP has to say:
   BACKUP DATABASE and BACKUP LOG permissions default to members of the
   sysadmin fixed server role and the db_owner and db_backupoperator fixed
   database roles
The permission section for RESTORE HEADERONLY says:
   Beginning in SQL Server 2008, obtaining information about a backup set or
   backup device requires CREATE DATABASE permission. For more information,
   see GRANT Database Permissions (Transact-SQL).
So it seems that if you want a user that has server-level rights to back up databases, this must be sysadmin, which is a little disappointing. One possibility is to package the BACKUP command in a stored procedure, which you sign with a certificate. Then
you create a login from the certiticate, and add that login to sysadmin. BACKUP accepts parameters for many of its arguments, so you don't have to build dynamic SQL. Still it is not really a satisfactory solution, since this user will have to work with
BACKUP "commands" that will be procedure calls.
