FDM & ERPI to FDMEE - Upgrade approach/challenges ?

Hello,
We are in FDM/ERPI 11.1.2.2.300 (used for loading data from EBS and file systems into HFM 11.1.2.2.300) and planning to upgrade (within the existing environment [in-place upgrade]) to 11.1.2.3. As we see that FDM/ERPI are integrated together as FDMEE in 11.1.2.3, we had big grey area on how FDMEE would function in contrast to disparate FDM/ERPI.
We needed inputs from veterans or anyone who had experienced the upgrade to answer the follwing queries.
Queries:
[1] We have come to know that FDM and ERPI are integrated together as FDMEE in 11.1.2.3.
     [a] Since we have FDM and ERPI as separate components in 11.1.2.2.300, how should FDM and ERPI components be upgraded to FDMEE ? Any specific steps / approach that need to be followed ?
     [b] Are there any known issues / challenges involved in upgrading from disparate FDM & ERPI to FDMEE ?
     [c] How would ERPI artifacts (of 11.1.2.2.300) function in FDMEE - Are there any specific migration or any manual set-up required post-upgrade (to 11.1.2.3) to have ERPI artifacts (like source system, period mapping, location, import formats, data load mapping etc)      functioning in FDMEE ?
     [d] Similarly how would FDM artifacts (from 11.1.2.2.300) function in FDMEE ? Are there any specific migration or manual set-up required post-upgrade (to 11.1.2.3) to have FDM artifacts (like mapping, validation rules etc) functioning in FDMEE ?
[2] Since only ODI 11.1.1.7 is compatible with 11.1.2.3 (from Compatability matrix), how do we upgrade ODI from 11.1.1.6 to 11.1.1.7 ? Are there any patch available to upgrade or should we uninstall ODI 11.1.1.6 and install ODI 11.1.1.7 ?
Any insightful response will be helpful for us as it would help us to gain clarity/confidence and comfort in upgrading to 11.1.2.3.
Regards,
Sathish

hello Sathish
As you are upgrading from 11.1.2.2.300 to EPM 11.1.2.3 (within the existing environment [in-place upgrade]) , it's called Applying maintenance release EPM 11.1.2.3 on EPM 11.1.2.2
[a] when you apply maintenance release , FDM 11.1.2.2 gets upgraded to FDM 11.1.2.3 ,
and ERPi gets upgraded to FDMEE 11.1.2.3
[b] i have not faced any issue while upgrading FDM
[c] please check epm_install.pdf for EPM 11.1.2.3 for upgradation task for FDM and FDMEE (see page 257 / 258)

Clarifications on ODI installation (for FDM ERPi to drill through EBS)

This is for drilling EBS from HFM and Planning through FDM. EPM is 11.1.2.2. ODI is 11.1.1.6.0.
A sharing on the steps I am going to perform, anyone who has done it before or idea on how to do so please help me to have a look and validate. I found documentation on EPM and ODI installation separately but I don't find step-by-step guide to make the subject configuration work. Please let me know if you know one. Thanks a lot.
The FDM ERPi component will be configured AFTER ODI is up and running. FDM and all other EPM components are up-and-running before the ODI installation.
Steps to install/configure ODI:
1. Create DB schema, one for MASTER and one for WORK, grant DB access according to the install guide
2. Use Oracle RCU (Repository Creation Utility) v11.1.1.3.3 to populate the MASTER and WORK tables
3. run ODI installer, using the jdk160 located in the ORACLE middleware home directory
4. select all available components of ODI for installation i.e. ODI Studio (with local agent), ODI SDK, Standalone Installation, all under Java EE installation (Java EE Agent, ODI Console, Public Web Service)
Have read the manual up to here, will update the thread when I go further, again feel free to comment.
Last step, to trigger EPM configurator to configure the ERPi component

Hello,
In the situation you have described unless the Authentication mechanism and the style of that mechanism for all the environments (in this sitaution Hyperion vs. Oracle EBS) are identical then there is no unified approach. Generally when going from Hyperion into Oracle EBS the EBS landing page is returned prompting you for valid credentials.
In order for this to work in on seemless move you would have to use OID with OSSO.
OID = Oracle Internet Directory
OSSO = Oracle Single Sign On
Thank you,

Drill Through from FDM/ERPI to Source ERP

Per my understanding, when loading data from FDM to a Target EPM system, the drill through from say HFM back to FDM would log on using your credentials via SSO. In other words, I log in as testuser in HFM and drill through, then that testuser id and password must be set up in shared services in the same manner in the epm target system as well as FDM.
Does the same hold true when you drill through from FDM/ERPI back to the Source ERP? In other words, the same ID and password must be set up in HFM, FDM, and say EBS ERP? Or is there a way to set a Global ID for the drill from FDM to the ERP?
Thank you in advance

How to extract data from ORCL GL in "full" and not "delta " with FDM ERPI?

Hi
I am using FDM ERPI 11.1.2.1 to extrct data from Oracle eBS 11.
I can see that FDM ERPI extracts data in "delta mode" using the GL_TRACK_BALANCES_DELTA (FDM adds a row in this table after the 1st load of the period").
Is it possible to force the "full mode" in order to reload all the data from Oracle GL for each FDM data load?
Because I don't know why, but I have each month rows which are not imported into FDM.
thanks in advance for your help
Fanny

Hi
I had see that I have to install the FDM 11.1.2.1.502 patch in order to see this option in my ERPI adapter options.
I have passed this patch.
So I have the ERPI-FIN-C1 adaptor.
I can see a new option (Time Out Value) but no "Load Data" or "Execution mode" option :-(
Any idea of where the problem come from?

Is it possible to use FDM ERPI drill-through via Add-in Excel V11

Hi
I am using FDM ERPI 11.1.2.1 to load data from Oracle eBS GL (11.5) to Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.1.
The drill-through from Hyperion Planning to Oracle eBS GL via FDM ERPI is ok through Smartview and the data forms.
Do you know if it is ok through the Add-In Excel V11?
Thanks in advance for your help
Fanny

You cannot use the Classic Spreadsheet (Excel) Add-In if that is what you are referring to.
As the other post indicates it will only work via Smart View.
Thank you,

FDM-ERPI import error: ActiveX component can't create object..

Hi,
I am using FDM v 11.1.2.1.501 and ERPi v 11.1.2.2 (which is actually v 11.1.2.1.501 following the patch set update to .501, it displays as 11.1.2.2, a known display error). The ODI version for ERPI is 11.1.1.5. The dataload rule executes successfully in ERPI within workspace, but in FDM, I get the following error:
Description...................................... ActiveX component can't create object: 'fdmERPI.clsGetFinData' At Line: 22
Can someone let me know why this happens ?
Rgds,
George

The issue is resolved. When upgrading FDM and ERPI to 11.1.2.1.501, the source adapter to be used should not be ERPI-FIN -C which comes together with 11.1.2.1 mediapack, but the adapter must be ERPI-FIN-D which come with the FDM patch set 501. The issue got resolved once ERPI-FIN-C adapter was deleted and replaced by ERPI-FIN-D adapter.

Upgrade approach from CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0 w.r.t ISA applications

Hi All,
Currently we have a CRM 5.0, ECC 6.0 and NW7.0(+ Apache HTTP server 2.2.3) system landscape, where in we are running the ISA applications on the NW Java instance.
There will be a possible upgrade to CRM 2007.
So what would be the architectural differences during this updgrade with respect to ISA applications?
Will our ISA applications still run properly after the upgrade? what sort of dependecies/compatibilty issues will occur during this process. And what would be the solution approach for it.
Please let me know the necessary points to be taken careoff during the upgrade of CRM 5.0 to CRM2007.
Finally, is CRM2007 = CRM 6.0 or its CRM 7.0?
Please share your valuable inputs on this
Thanks,
Aman.

We did a similar upgrade. Very important to note: please follow the Best Practice documentation from SAP. This is very important for the ISA part.
Can you share with us the Best Practice Documentation? Is it a upgrade best practice or upgrade master or something else? Thanks.

FDM/ERPi 11.1.2.2 - Able to load EBS Translated Currency?

We are currently running Hyperion 11.1.2.1 in our PROD environment. We have Hyperion 11.1.2.2 loaded in our DEV environment. When looking at the ERPi data load rules in 11.1.2.2, it appears that we could pull the translated currency from Oracle EBS and not just the functional currency. This would be useful in our environment. I've looked thru the online documentation for 11.1.2.2 and it still states that ERPi can only pull the functional currency. Is this correct? If so, then what purpose is the Currency Type field on the ERPi data load rule source filter menu?
Thanks.
Terri T.

Actually, with 11.1.2.2, you do now have the ability to load Translated Currency from EBS. I'm doing it right now for a client with Hyperion FDM and ERPi 11.1.2.2 and Oracle EBS R12. The "Functional Only" limitation in ERPi was only for 11.1.2.1
When creating a new Data Load Rule, select Currency Type = "Translated". Once you select "Translated", another box appears below it where you enter the Currency Code to translate into (assuming this is USD for you). Run the Data Load Rule and you're good to go.
Another FYI: This functionality is not listed in the 11.1.2.2 ERPi Admin Guide. It still has the old 11.1.2.1 information and does not list anything on the Currency Type and Currency Code option , hence the likely confusion and me having to prove it to myself first :)
Hope this helps.

FDM/ERPi Batch Loader Error

Hello,
I have set up FDM with the ERPi adapter and I can successfully import data via the FDM web. I have several locations set up to import from multiple ledgers so I would like to set up a batch process to do this. To test this, per the documentation I created a blank file with the appropriate name convention and but it in the OpenBatch folder. When I kicked off the batch process it failed with the message:
"one or more processes failed to start, please see batch reports or error log"
When I checked the server, the file was moved from the OpenBatch folder to a folder with a unique name (as expected).
Here is the output from the error log:

I used serial batch load. Some progress I have made is that the admin account can successfully run the batch load on server itself. So it seems as if I there is a folder I need write permissions to that I don't have. Currently I have write access to (via a share) the folder for the FDM application I am loading and all its subfolers. Still trying to figure out what additional write privileges I need to get.
Any help would be appreciated.

Upgrade approach - App 10.7/Rdms 7.3.4 to App 11i/Rdms 8i or 9i

We are in what you might call the research phase of our upgrade from Financials 10.7 (GL,AR,AP,CE,PO) to 11i. We would like to know if anyone has thoughts or information regarding a recommended or preferred upgrade path for companies upgrading from Financial Application 10.7/Database 7.3.4 to Financial Application 11i/Database 8i or 9i? More specifically I would like to know if it advisable to take a phased approach utilizing the interoperability patch set so that first the upgrade entails moving the 10.7 application to database 8i. After this step is completed the remaining steps might look like this:
- Upgrade application to 11
- Upgrade database to 9i
- Finally upgrade application to 11i
Any thoughts, documentation or real word examples would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kirk
We have performed upgrades on Financials from 10.7 to 11i for various organizations like GE etc. We are a global solution provider, and in case you would want more information about us please write to [email protected]
Thanks

Difference in application upgrade approaches from Weblogic 10.0 to Weblogic 10.3.6

Hi,
I am new to Weblogic 10.3.6. Till now I was using Weblogic 10 and now we are planning to migrate to Weblogic 10.3.
While going through the Oracle documentation, I came across 3 different approaches for application upgrade.
Choose one of the following ways to upgrade your Portal 9.2 or 10.0/10.2 application to 10.3:
Open an existing 9.2 or 10.0/10.2 portal application as a workspace in Workshop for WebLogic
Import an existing exploded 9.2 or 10.0/10.2 project into Workshop for WebLogic
Import an archived 9.2 or 10.0/10.2 project file into Workshop for WebLogic.
I know the steps to execute all the above mentioned appraoches, but I want to know the pros and cons of all of them to decide which one should I go with.
Please help.

SAP BO Upgrade approach

Dear BO Architects,
I have a Dev, Test & Prod environment in BO 3.1 and working on preparing a plan to upgrade to SAP BO 4.1.
From what I understand, we can perform this in more than one way but I am unsure of the recommended approach.
1) SAP BO 3.1 Prod to SAP BO 4.1 Prod and then move contents from SAP BO 4.1 Prod to Test to Dev with appropriate testing
2) SAP BO 3.1 Prod to SAP BO 4.1 Dev and then move contents from SAP BO 4.1 Dev to Test to Prod with appropriate testing
3) SAP BO 3.1 Dev to SAP BO 4.1 Dev, SAP BO 3.1 Test to SAP BO 4.1 Test, SAP BO 3.1 Prod to SAP BO 4.1 Prod
Can you please advise me on the correct approach?
Appreciate all the help!
Regards,
Vino

Hi
1) SAP BO 3.1 Prod to SAP BO 4.1 Prod and then move contents from SAP BO 4.1 Prod to Test to Dev with appropriate testing
Go with this approach if would like to do real time testing. This will import users, Personal reports and inboxes to prod and you could exclude them in your copies to test and dev. This approach will save a lot of migration time since you could do realtime testing. Be careful rights as some additional rights are available in 4.1 and a few have been removed. Note that you have to have a plan as to what exactly you were looking at since you are implementing production first.
2) SAP BO 3.1 Prod to SAP BO 4.1 Dev and then move contents from SAP BO 4.1 Dev to Test to Prod with appropriate testing
This is only ideal if you have a huge environment with lot of reports and you want to spend more time on tests and validation
3) SAP BO 3.1 Dev to SAP BO 4.1 Dev, SAP BO 3.1 Test to SAP BO 4.1 Test, SAP BO 3.1 Prod to SAP BO 4.1 Prod
This will work perfectly, But you have to implement the learnt lessons from each step to the next step. If you faced an issue and fixed that during migration from DEV to DEV, you still have to fix the same issue again on test to test and prod to prod
If the environment is not too huge its better to go with Approach 1 and copy the content way back to TEST and DEV selectively.
Regards
Anil

SAP Upgrade Approach document

Hi
We are looking for a approach document in upgrading ECC 6.0 along with SAP SRM and BI. If you have come across such document kindly share with me.
with regards,
Joseph Anand B

Log onto SAP's internal OSS system and download their methodology from there. It has the project plans and templates you need. You can either do it as a stand alone html or through a Solution Manager add-on. However you must have an internal OSS ID. If your company is an SAP customer see your IT department manager for the log on info.
Otherwise contact your local SAP representative to get the information. Your representative or sales person will be able to get you access if your company is supported.
