Essbase users issue

Hi Guru's,
we created around 1800 users for the current project. But the issue is if we synchronize all users from Shared services, Essbase might be hangs.
these belong to native.
So kindly let me know how to handle this issue?????
Anyone seen this behavior before or have any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance.................

1.so when you have created users and assigned those users with role then you have to refresh security through eas,of course it will take some time for 1800 users after that you will have to connect again its just as that messagge says when you refresh it.
2.now i will be sharing what i have done,basically i have users list and i made maxl scripts using excel having maxl statements(create user 'john doe';..) and i have executed them and same goes with roles tooo.When we execute this maxl scripts users will be in sysn with shared services.(this has worked for me )
also go though from page 617

Essbase performance issue

Hi all,
We encounter a Essbase perfromance issue that we don't know the root cause.
We have configured a server to run Essbase with 8 core CPU and 16GB RAM. We found that the Essbase calculation can use up to 80% CPU and about 8GB RAM only. I also checked the IO rate at the same time but the disk loading is not very heavy. We just suspect that what kind of resource are waiting at Essbase calculation engine? It is not CPU bounded, memory bounded, and IO bounded.
Do you think it can help if we keep the whole Essbase database (around 30GB) into RAM based disk drive can speed up the IO performance?
Thanks if you have some ideas for us to investigate.

I'm confused -- is it CPU bound or not?
You write:
We found that the Essbase calculation can use up to 80% CPU and about 8GB RAM only.Do you mean 80% of all eight of your CPUs? That sure sounds CPU-bound to me. In fact, I wish (within reason) that most of my Essbase calculations worked that way -- that would men that I have the disck caches tuned to their utmost efficiency.
This means you're getting data from disk almost as fast as is possible.
You're not going to be able to get everything into memory for two reasons:
1) 30 GB of .IND and .PAG/.DAT files isn't going to fit into Essbase's addressable memory space. See: using RAM disk to speed up Essbase calculation and rollup
2) Even when the database is nice and small and you can stick the whole thing in a cache, uncompressed, Essbase still is "smart" and will keep a portion of it on disk during calcs -- this doesn't make sense in isolation, but empirically, you can monitor disk usage during a supposedly database that is in theory total enclosed in the cache and see it getting hit. This may be related to Essbase's general housekeeping -- I don't know. In any case, this is generally not a real world case, unless you're running your business on my Very Favorite Database In The Whole Wide World -- Sample.Basic.
Or are you saying that you will define a real (and it would help if you really could allocate real RAM, and not an OS-managed sort-of-RAM-sort-of-DASD situation) RAM drive and point Essbase there. That is sort of risky, isn't it? How will you flush it to real DASD for backup? Exports?

Monitoring user issued queries...and how long queries have been running.

soalris 9
oracle 9i and 10gr2
I am trying to get the user issued query and how long it has bee running.
I was trying to test on test database running a query under scott schema with
1.5 million records which is almost taking more than 5 minutes and trying to
see If I can see the query and how long it has been running.
I ran script(show.sql---from Ask tom) got it from NET and i see session status as INACTIVE while query was still running. And I do not see the query in output.
I could see the show.sql query in output.
Why is it showing session status as INACTIVE when the sql is still running.
Could you please provide me sql that will show user issued quries and how ong they have been running

Go to Morgan's Library at www.psoug.org and look up "DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO." This built in package has a procedure named SET_SESSION_LONGOPS that may help you.

Dynamically Identifying user issuing SQL statement

Client wants to provide security to certain data by first capturing the identity of every user issuing a SQL statement, then, based on the user and a security table, allow access to certain data. Is this doable? TIA...

Oracle has a whole product centered around this called "Label Seurity", which I'm guessing may be too much for your needs. Check out this marking shag for info about "virtual private databases" http://technet.oracle.com/deploy/security/oracle8i/pdf/vpd_wp6.pdf
Basically, the idea is that the "old school", but still perfecly fine, way to do it is to create views for each group of users and grant permissions to the views for the appropriate users. Optionally using synomyms into their schemas to give users the same name for the different views.
The virtual private database and similar stuff is hard to explain. I think of it as the db engine auto-adding a where clause to each sql statement based upon who you are. If that makes any sense.
I've tried this a couple of different ways, but have yet to hit upon one that seems easy & generally applicable.
Good Luck -d

Multi-User Issues

I've taken over development of a Vs2003(vB)/MsSql2000 application which usually runs in on a Windows 2000 server with multiple workstations running the application simultaneously in Remote Desktop Sessions.
The central user interface element of the application is an un-databound grid (actually a farpoint spreadsheet) which displays sql table rows that are accessable from every workstation. The grid refreshes its content whenever a specific subroutine is called. That subroutine performs a query which loads its results into a collection which is then loaded into the grid. The subroutine is called during startup and at other times using the rather elaborate mechanism described below. Each workstation also has the ability to modify any row in the grid via a dialog-based editor. The grid itself is not setup to allow inplace editing.
The grid usually contains about 200 records and 20-50% of these records get modified (some repeatedly) every hour.
My question involves the classic multi-user issues of keeping all of the seperate workstation's grids current as individual workstations make modifications to the data.
What is Microsoft's recommended method for handling multi-user data-refresh requirements in custom applications written in VB.NET2003 with MsSQL2000?
Now that you know what I'm looking for, let me add a little more detail. The existing code handles this multi-user refresh issue in the following way...
A SQL Trigger is attached to the SQL Table's Insert/Modify and Delete events. That Trigger calls the xp_logevent built-in stored procedure to make an entry in the NT Event Log.
The application contains a subroutine to handle EventLog("Application").EntryWritten messages. That subroutine calls the subroutine (mentioned earlier) which refreshes the grid contents through a new SQL query.
In this way, whenever any workstation changes the table data, a trigger fires which makes a log entry and broadcasts an EntryWritten message into the global windows environment. The individual applications (each running in their own RDP session) hear the message and respond by refreshing their grid.
This all seems a little "rube goldberg" to me, but it has worked for many years.
That is, until we moved the SQL2000 server to a seperate machine to improve program responsiveness.
Now when the trigger is fired and the log entry is made, the EntryWritten message is broadcast into the windows environment of the dedicated SQL server where there are no applications listening for it. Meanwhile, the applications continue to run with unrefreshed data on the (now) dedicated RDP server from where the EntryWritten messages cannot be "heard".
So my question really comes down to this...
In an environment where the SQL server and the RDP server are two seperate machines, what is the best method for coordinating multi-user screen refreshes across seperate applications running in distinct RDP Client sessions?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Peace,

How you import essbase users list into Hyperion reports?

How you import essbase users list into Hyperion reports?

I don't think this is a standard feature of Hyperion Reports.
Why do you need to see all the users in a report. Administrators can always query EAS, Shared Services or MaxL.

User issue in essbase and planning

Hi,
I have created a user in shared services and given roles of both essbase admin and plannning application admin .
but i dont see the user in security of essbase console as planner and essbase.
Anil

Hi Anil,
First check value of following two configuration settings in condfiguration file Essbase.cfg: -
1- CSSSYNCLEVEL*: This setting controls how Shared Services synchronizes security information for a specific user and any related groups when the user logs in to Essbase or selects a database.
● CSSSYNCLEVEL AUTO: Shared Services synchronizes security information for a specific user and any related groups when the user logs in to Essbase or selects a database.
● CSSSYNCLEVEL NONE: User information is not synchronized when a user logs in to Essbase or selects a database. Shared Services synchronizes user information only when an Administrator, Application Manager, or Database Manager requests a refresh of security information.
● CSSSYNCLEVEL DBSELECT: User information is synchronized when a user selects a database, but not when the user logs in to Essbase. If DBSELECT is specified, when you provision a user with an Essbase Server role, you must
request a refresh of security information to enable the user to log in.
2- CSSREFRESHLEVEL*: The CSSREFRESHLEVEL configuration setting controls how Shared Services refreshes the status
of all users, groups, and applications for an Essbase Server at Essbase Server start up.
● CSSREFRESHLEVEL AUTO: Shared Services automatically refreshes the status of all users, groups, and applications for an Essbase Server at Essbase Server start up.
● CSSREFRESHLEVEL MANUAL: Shared Services refreshes security information only when an Administrator requests a refresh of security information.
So If CSSSYNCLEVEL is set to None or CSSREFRESHLEVEL is set to Manual then administrator need to referesh security. then provisioned user can access Essbase/DB.
Hope it will help you.

Essbase copy issue

Hi
We have an issue with Essbase cube copy in EAS (essbase and eas are in version11.1.2.2) . When we copy a cube we expect the access for the users and groups to be also available in the copied cube ie say groupA is assigned read access to cube1 but if we copy cube1 to cube2 we cannot see that groupA is also assigned read access to cube2 . This issue did not happpen in System 9 and this is major issue for us since we rely on the process of taking snapshot of the cube monthly basis and losing the secuirty of the cube when copying is not acceptable

Are you copying it within the server / across server?
I am not much familiar with LCM but if you are using it may be I guess you can do it from there.
If LCM cannot hep you, you can achieve it using Maxl as Sh!va said . Take an export of the security, parse it using BATCH (Windows) / SHELL SCRIPT (UNIX) and update the security again (Export will serve as security backup too ).
We had an application way back in v6.5.7 and we did the same way.

Complex Essbase MDX Issue - Need Guidance

Hi,
I have a complex Essbase issue in ASO version 11.1.2.2. Currently I have a MDX formula with a Measure member named '10th Percentile'. It calculates the 10th Percentile perfectly. So new requirement is to create a new Measures member and instead of calculating the '10 Percentile' value, it needs to display the Customer Name of the value that is the 10th Percentile from the Customer dimension. So if I do a retrieval and the '10th Percentile' is 3.23, then it needs to display the Customer Name of the 3.23.
So I altered the formula to do what I think needs to be done and it verifies. However if I retrieve on that new measure in the Excel Add In, I get and error: An error [1200315] Occured in Spreadsheet Extractor. However if I navigate without data I don't get the error, but I also don't get any data, which I obviously need. So my question is, if MDX support reporting on Metadata not just Data, what/how can one report on it? Ideally I need to have this work in the Excel Add In as the client is using a custom vba modified template for their end users.
Any ideas and help?

Here's the formula. I bolded the part that is new.....
IIF ( [Lbs Per Yard].CurrentMember IS [Lbs Per Yard].[No_Lbs/Yd] ,
IIF( [Count_Price] = Missing, Missing, IIF( [Count_Price] < 2 , Missing,

, Filter ( CROSSJOIN ( Leaves ( [Segment].CurrentMember)
, Filter ( CROSSJOIN ( Leaves ( [Customer Type].CurrentMember)
, Filter ( CROSSJOIN ( Leaves ( [Zip Code].CurrentMember)
, Filter ( CROSSJOIN ( Leaves ( [Quantities].CurrentMember)
, Filter ( CROSSJOIN ( Leaves ( [Frequencies].CurrentMember)
, Filter ( CROSSJOIN ( Leaves ( [Yardages].CurrentMember)
, Filter ( Leaves ( [Contract Year].CurrentMember)
, [$/Yd] <> Missing ))

, [$/Yd] <> Missing ))
, [$/Yd] <> Missing ))
, [$/Yd] <> Missing ))
, [$/Yd] <> Missing )
, [$/Yd] /*this is the measure we're using for sort */
, BASC /* sort in $/Yd in ascending order */
) AS OrderedSetOfItems} /* here we define an alias for the set in order to be able to use it later */

10 / 100 /*where we specify which percentile is being calculated */
+ 0.5 , 0 ) -1 ) *.Item (3-1).[MEMBER_NAME]*
/* this takes Nth item from the ordered set (0-based index, hence -1) */

Essbase - eis issue

Hi,
I have been facing an drillthrough issue started since couple of weeks...
The users are not able to drillthrough the data (data is in sybase) from excel. They are getting the ESSDTU error message...
I have re-run the "ais_start" and then its started working... why i have to do this very often... i have not had this issue before...
PS: Some of our servers went down recently... from that day itself i am facing this issue...
Please help/assist to resolve this issue.

Since I made the post I have explored some more. The SQL statements for the drill-though report definitions work with all cost centres, when I run them in a SQL console (SqlServer management console). But even when I create a new drill though report, it still only works only for the cost centres that previously worked successfully with the existing drill through reports. There is no signifigant difference in Essbase between the cost centres that work and the ones that dont , so I am completely stumped
HELP !

Essbase filters issue

Hi guys
Can security filters in Essbase created by separating the dimensions like in.. filter 1 restricting access on one dimension, filter 2 restricting access on another three dimensions and filter 3 on remaining three dimensions? so that when access have to modified as time passes only 1 filter to be changed and not all three?
I have created security filters in Essbase in the above mentioned fashion and they do not seem to work..
Should a filter mention all the dimensions to work properly?
Thanks
Edited by: dave78 on Jun 27, 2012 5:50 AM

Hi
I've had similar issues in the past and this is what I discovered. A user or group can only be assigned a single filter at any one time, there is a way to give a user access to more than one filter by adding the user to multiple groups where each group has one filter that you want the user to inherit.
The issue you are probably having is that Essbase filters join using different conditions depending upon what is selected. By that I mean that if you have two filters that have the members from the same dimension specified they will join using an AND condition, e.g.
Filter1 - Write EntityX
Filter2 - Write EntityY
Resulting access - Write EntityX and EntityY
However if the members are from different dimensions then the filters join using an OR condition, e.g.
Filter1 - Write EntityX
Filter2 - Write ScenarioA
Resulting access - Write EntityX with any scenario and write ScenarioA with any entity
If you use members from multiple dimensions, but the same dimensions then this seems to use the AND but is cumulative, e.g.
Filter1 - Write EntityX, ScenarioA
Filter2 - Write EntityY, ScenarioB
Resulting access - Write EntityX or EntityY with either ScenarioA or ScenarioB
Our situation was an Essbase cube built by EAL from HFM but we couldn't get EAL to pass the security through, it kept failing due to filter size. As in HFM security classes in our case were dimension specific we tried to follow that model in Essbase but it wouldn't work. As our Essbase model needed no write access for any user (all data passed from HFM so any changes were written there) we decided the only approach was to restrict the security to a single dimension (Entity) and accept that some users may be able to see scenarios that we didn't necessarily want them too. That was better than having to create 4 / 5 times as many filters and the corresponding groups to put the filters into etc...
Hope this helps, apologies if you have to go back to the drawing board!

Essbase Known Issue (7445394), Possible Fixes?

Hi
I am using essbase v9 and I am having problems logging into spreadsheets which contain macros. I can across this know issue and was wondering if there are any workarounds or patches available for this bug that I could try in order to eliminate this as the possible issue.
Spreadsheet client. Visual Explorer connection time to remote Essbase servers is very slow because of the necessity of reading the metadata across networks. [7445394]
Thanks
Michelle

QUESTION: are there any available patches for this
at this time?
NO.
If not - will there be any available
in the future - Or am I stuck with this for the life
of the notebook?
According to Hardware Monitor's developer, it's possible to fix it through firmware, but Apple will never put their engineers on that.
This problem is caused by an internal design flaw of current versions of Intel Core processors. The Digital Thermal Sensors may stop working when the processor returns from a C3/C4 power saving state.

Planning and Essbase Security Issue

Hi, we just upgraded to 11.1.2 and have been noticing occasional loss of security on LDAP groups. Hyperion SS refreshes the LDAP groups from LDAP periodically and the Workspace/Planning/Essbase servers refresh cache from SS. However, some times, these cache refreshes fail leaving users without any access. We have been working with Oracle to find a resolution, however, haven't had much of a luck so far.
Just wanted to check if anyone has faced and resolved such an issue.
Thank you

Hi,
Could you please explain more on "Hyperion SS refreshes the LDAP groups from LDAP periodically and the Workspace/Planning/Essbase servers refresh cache from SS" what kind of refresh is it and what does it provide and what does cache refresh mean from SS?
Am a beginner but still will try suggesting if you explain things.
Thanks

Externalize users issue

we are facing issue while externalize users in essbase, not able to get finish button (version 933).
giving error that there are no users/groups to migrate, but all users & groups there & provisioned.
(refresh sec from ss option not coming, so tried to do externalize but getting this issue)
Please help...

Are you talking about refreshing security from EAS? If you are using 9.3.3 then refreshing essbase security from shared services was removed.
Cheers
