Essbase V/s SAP BW

Hi Experts,
I know this is a weird question but I would like bring it out. I am persently working on Hyperion essbase 6.2 which is a business intelligence tool. I also got an opputunity to work on BW so i have started learning it.So I can work on both. ( BW+ Essbase)
But again I have got an opportunity to learn hyperion planning and work on it.But I cannot work on BW then. I can work only on hyperion
Now I am totallly confused as to which technology I should take up. what is the future of 1) hyperion - which I know is doing well lately after oracle has aquired it 2) BW - is there more oppurtunites in BW , what if I get to learn BO also , will it be an added advantage ?
Which of the above oppurtunities will be better
Please experts any advise ?

Hi,
1. Hyperion is doing good and with Oracle, I am sure it will never go down in the market of BI.
2. As this is hyperion forum , I might be biased towards this technology, but It would make much more sense for you to continue your experience in hyperion ,as you have been working on essbase
3. I would suggest you to watch OBIEE. .
4. As Oracle hyperion business is good, oppurtunities are better too.
Hope it helps and get back to me if you still have further queries.

  • Essbase Connector to SAP

    Hi,
    I've heard that many companies have connected their essbase directly to SAP R3. I have to do the same, but I don't know how to make the connection and what i need to do it. does anyone know? or has done it before?
    So far I have in EAS console, under Enterprise View a "SAP" button. If i right click over it it takes me to "Data Source Configurator". And there I just have Oracle, MsSQL, Mysql and DB2.
    thanks!
    Sebastian

    anyone knows about this???

  • SAP R/3 as data source for Essbase

    Hi everyone,
    We need to extract data from a SAP R/3 data source (Is SAP R/3 the same as SAP BW?).. Can we directly connect to it then load data to Essbase?
    I've read that we need Hyperion System 9 BI+ Analytic Integration Connector for SAP BW to get data from SAP BW. Is it easy to implement?
    Hope someone could help me. Thanks in advance.

    Hi everyone,
    I've read that Essbase can connect directly to SAP R/3 through the SAP Plug-in in the Administration Services. We just need to configure the connection to it properly.
    Here's my question, since we are suppose to enable the SAP plug-in DURING the "custom" installation of Admin Services, how do we then enable it since our application is already in use? Installation & configuration of admin services has long been done. Is there a way to go back to enable the SAP plug-in so we can connect to SAP R/3? If not, are there other ways to do it?
    Hope somebody could help me. Thanks a lot.

  • How to Extract Data from SAP and Load it into Essbase

    Hi All,
    Can you recommend some ways to extract data from SAP and load it into Essbase?. I have no knowledge about SAP, not sure how I can perform this task. Can I use ODI for this job?
    Thanks

    hi,
    Not sure if this helps but give a try
    you can create connection from EAS to SAP .. using a plug-in .. if you have access to oracle Support go for [ID 968961.1]
    or
    below are steps
    1. In EASPATH\console, open components.xml in a text editor.
    2. Under <PluginList>, enter <Plugin archiveName="SAP" packageName="com.essbase.eas.sap.ui"/> before the closing </PlugIn> tag.
    3. Save and close the file.
    4. In EASPATH\console\bin, open admincon.lax in a text editor.
    5. Search for lax.class.path= and append ;..\lib\sap_client.jar;..\lib \sap_common.jar to the entry. Save and close the file.
    6. In EASPATH\server\bin, open adminsvr.lax in a text editor.
    7. Search for lax.nl.java.option.additional, and append -DRFC_INI=EASPATH\server\saprfc.ini. Save and close the file.
    8. Create a new environment variable, RFC_INI, with a value of EASPATH\server\saprfc.ini
    9. Copy librfc.dll andsapjcorfc.dll to EASPATH\server\bin. You may need to obtain these files from SAP.
    let me know if it works :)

  • Interfacing SAP with Essbase

    Hi all,
    we would like to create interface between SAP(data source contain all views) to Essbase. Currently we are using Oracle Financials for mappping data into Essbase. Kindly let us know your views and suggestions on the same.
    Regards
    Rajesh

    Hi Herath,
    <b>1. Through the SAP GUI i should be able to process the documents which are available in the SAP repository and store them in an external repository system</b>
    It is always possible to all you want in SAP using your SAP GUI, that will never be a problem. Storing the result in external system say your local machine is also possible, you can download them as files etc.
    <b>Is this possible through JCo interface? Or else what other mechanisms can be followed.</b>
    This is also possible through JCo. The main reason we opt for JCo is to achieve the above mentioned functionality from an external system (non SAP) eg: creating materials in SAP from a external application. This is where you mainly need the help of JCo.
    Hope this will solve your problem. Let me know if you need anything more.
    Thanks

  • Tools to Auto load bulk data from SAP BW into Essbase?

    Does any one know what is the most efficient way to retrieve a large amount of data from SAP BW into Essbase on a regular basis? We currenly export data from BW into several Excel files, which has the limitation of 64k row in a batch, we then load the excel files into essbase usng rules files. And it's a manual process. Do you know if there is a better tool/approach that we can use to do the data retrieve and load into essbase in one batch without need of human interference? Thanks for your good ideas!

    you can use HAL to do the extraction and loading data from SAP. did you try this?

    What I have attempted:
    - Attempted to connect to Shared Services, Workspace url's - YES
    - Checked openLDAP & my Database is running - YES
    - Added following to Configuration File :
    SharedServicesLocation machinex 28080
    AUTHENTICATIONMODULE CSS http://machinex:28080/interop/framework/getCSSConfigFile YES, but same error
    - Changed essbase.bak to essbase.sec YES but same error
    - netstat -an to check for 1423. Port 1423 is not listening, although ALL TCP Ports have been enabled. So YES but same error.
    - Read Knowledgebase article # 954322.1 - the suggested things in there don't seem to apply to my case, unless I am missing something.
    At this point does anybody have any suggestions ?

    An update: Just for kicks, I tried restarting Essbase using Start->Programs-EPMSystem->Essbase->EssbaseServer->Essbase.bat and apparently now Essbase is started.
    EAS, Studio and Planning however are down.
    Excerpt from the HyS9eas-sysout.log:

    java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
    .... bunch of java code.
    This is really strange. There is NOTHING that I changed, started or stopped which could have caused Essbase to start magically all of a sudden.
    Any insights into the cause of all this ?

  • Essbase Product Existence Check Fails against the Shared Services Server

    Hello Everyone,
    I am a new to Essbase
    When I am launching the EAS web console and trying to log in, its giving me an error saying "Could not connect to Administration Server".
    I looked in ESSBASE log file its showing an error 1051429 : "Essbase Product Existence Check Fails against the Shared Services Server with Error []"
    This error actually started when I copied an Essbase Application from one of my computers to another computer. All I simply did is copied the application folder into "app" folder. I am not sure if migration
    is possible just by copying and pasting the application folders. I am not sure if doing this messed up security with shared services. Also under c:\hyperion\essbase folder I see another text file named "SharedServices_Security_Client".
    Its log for today is below:

    From the log
    Error establishing socket to host and port: chandan:1433. Reason: Connection refused: connect
    The SQL server itself is not running or TCP/IP is disabled. That can be confirmed by runing netstat and see it is listed there.
    Then run telnet chandan 1433 and see it can connect

  • Essbase Registration With Shared Services Fails...

    Hi all,
    I have three system A, B, C in a distributive manner. A has only Oracle 11g and Essbase Server. B has Shared Services, Planning, Essbase Essbase Components, Workspace. C has EPMA, Calc Manager, Reporting Analysis. I created separate database for each components. While configuring I do the following-
    -> First on B I configured Shared Services/Common Settings with its database(1st Time). I could see the green tick.
    -> On A I configured Shared Services/Common Settings with previously configured database. I could see green tick.
    -> On A configure Essbase Server, here I get the error which shows Register with Shared Services failed.
    Examining the configtool_err.log navigate to D:\Hyperion\logs\config folder I see the following message-
    (Jun 10, 2009, 01:13:32 PM), com.hyperion.cis.config.wizard.RunAllTasksWizardAction, ERROR, Shared Services Registration task can not be executed because Shared Services instance is not available in Registry
    (Jun 10, 2009, 01:13:42 PM), com.hyperion.essbase.config.EssbaseAgentTaskProcessor, ERROR, Error in executing the script to register Essbase as a service: exitCode = 1
    I am using v11.1.1.1 on Win 2003.
    Can anyone pls help me how to solve this??
    Thanks.

    Thanks John. I was so anxious to get a response from you. See, on the machine where only Essbase Server is installed( and 11g as well), on configuration page I get two options- Hyperion Foundation and Essbase. Now Hyperion Foundation( Configure Database and Common Settings) configuration is done properly with previously configured database.
    Now in Essbase node there is Essbase and under it is Essbase Custom Configuration. when I try to configure it I get the error that Register to Shared Services failed. I could see green tick on Essbase Custom Configuration, but a red cross on Essbase.
    What needs to be done John?? Please help.

  • System 11 Essbase 11.1.3 - Maxl Start up issue

    Working on a upgrade project from system 7 to 11, Shared services, EAS, Essbase everything seems to be installed and running fine, was able to migrate and acess Essbase apps via EAS smart view etc but issue persists with MAXL.
    unable to start ESSMSH.exe manually or through automaiton.
    Think its searching for arborpath , but with new system 11 its not set as a environment variable do i need to add it to the PATH ,Error on trying to access MAXl through automation is listed as follows
    Error initializing localization module*
    Environment variable  ARBORPATH is not set.*
    SET PATH variable values the Server
    D:\Hyperion\common\CSS\9.5.0.0\bin;
    %SystemRoot%\system32;
    %SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SysMgt\oma\bin;
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SysMgt\idrac;
    D:\Hyperion\common\ODBC-64\Merant\5.2\Drivers;
    D:\Hyperion\common\JRE\Sun\1.5.0\bin

    This is a weird one -- I've been at clients where the path was "wrong" (on the server, not the client) -- same thing, I couldn't run MaxL and was told that the answer was to use startMaxL.cmd from its native directory. That make sense to me then and still doesn't.
    startMaxL does indeed work.
    Here's the path from my VM server:
    PATH=C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin;C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Hyperion\common\CSS\9.5.0.0\bin;C:\Hyperion\common\SAP\bin;C:\Hyperion\products\FinancialManagement\Common;C:\Hyperion\products\FinancialManagement\Client;C:\Hyperion\products\FinancialManagement\Server;C:\Hyperion\common\ODBC\Merant\5.2\Drivers;C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\eas\console\bin;C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\eas\server\bin;C:\Hyperion\common\JRE\Sun\1.5.0\bin
    Arborpath:
    C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient
    I can run essmsh.exe from anywhere on that server.
    startMaxl.cmd is in two places: c:\hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\bin and c:\hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin
    You can see that the path goes right to essbaseclient\bin.

  • Essbase Studio - Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server

    Hi all,
    I am new to Hyperion and am having trouble deploying what seems a simple cube in Essbase Studio.
    My environment is Windows 2003, EPM 11.1.1.2, SQL Server 2000.
    I have the following two issues which may be related.
    1. The EPM System Diagnostic tool says that Hyperion Foundation cannot connect to the SQL database.
    Error:
    Failed: Connection to database
    Error: java.net.UnknownHostException: <server name: <server name>
    Recommended Action:
    Every other EPM application is able to connect to the database. I have tried re-configuring Foundation Services and checking the config files and nothing looks wrong. I would appreciate advice on how to fix this.
    2 In Essbase Studio, I was able to connect to the database where the source data is, build the minischema and create dimensions and measures. But when I run the cube deployment wizard I get the error:
    Message: Failed to deploy Essbase cube
    Caused By: Failed to build Essbase cube dimension: (Time)
    Caused By: Cannot incremental build. Essbase Error(1021001): Failed to Establish Connection With SQL Database Server. See log for more information
    …ODBC Layer Error: [08001] ==> [[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.]
    I have checked the DSN as well as the connections set up within Studio, and they are all able to connect to the database. I am using the admin user for the Essbase server and have created a different user for the databases where the data resides and the shared services database. I tried using the same user all the way through and this didn’t help.
    Can you please advise what else I can check or change to resolve this issue.
    Also, can you work in EAS with cubes that are created in Studio? I tried looking at it and I got an error that the rule file couldn’t be accessed because it was created in Studio.
    After the above failures, I tried creating a cube in EIS, with mixed success. I have been able to load the members and data without errors. But when I try to view the data in the cube, I am seeing field names for the measures instead of the data itself.
    ...Definitely more questions than answers at this stage of my learning.
    Regards
    Michelle

    Michelle,
    I don't know if you found an answer to you question after so many months but I was hoping I could be helpful.
    The issue you are experience happens often when the dimension that you are getting an error on, in this case TIME, is built from a snowflake lineage and there is a bad foreign key reference. This dimension is most like high-up in your outline build process for Essbase Studio and this prevents the build from happening usually early on.
    Check your logs also. They are in Hyperion > Products > logs > essbase > essbasestudio.
    You can also make your logs more verbose by setting a configuration variable in the essbase studio server.properties file but that should only be used for debugging as it really saps performance.
    And, yes, you can of course edit an Essbase Studio deployed cube in EAS. However, any changes you make to the cube in EAS are subject to being wiped-out upon the next Essbase Studio deployment of that Applicaion/Database combo.
    If you want to provide more detail, screenshots, etc. I would be glad to help where I can.
    Cheers,
    Christian
