HE 6.4 to HFM 11.1.1.3 Upgrade

Hi,
Our client is using Hyperion Enterprise 6.4 and they would like to upgrade HE to HFM with latest version of Oracle release i.e. 11.1.1.3. According to my opinion this should be possible because when we upgrade HE,physically we wont run any utilities but it will be fresh implementation with retirement of HE.
Comments from anybody would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Another option is for you to upgrade HE to 6.5.1 where there is a utility that will generate an HFM application from Enterprise. Oracle development provides this functionality so you can see how the Enterprise application would work in HFM. It's useful for modeling, and if you want some dimensions to move directly into HFM while you revamp the other dimensions. It would be extremely rare for someone to perform a complete "apples to apples" migration from Enterprise to HFM, therefore virtually all migrations to HFM are done manually -- by building the HFM application from scratch.

HFM 9.2.0.0 upgrade to 11.x

Hello Experts,
I need your expert comments for my following problem.
We are looking for upgrade for HFM-9.2.0.0,FR-9.2.0.0,FDM-9.2.0.0 to system 11.1.1.3.We found that oracle recommends path to upgrade to 11.x through versions
a. 9.2.0.3
b.9.3.1
c.11.x
In this scenario we have to move to either of 9.2.0.3 OR 9.3.1 & then move to 11.x.
I want to know whether we can directly upgrade from 9.2.0.0 to 11.x?If yes please suggest the brief steps too.
Regrads,
Anky

Hi,
Bug or not I would go with 11.2.0.2 for a fresh install (you will have to test anyway, I hope it's a test database !). Notice rules for patchsets change and 11.2.0.2 is the first patchset to be also a complete version. You won't need to install 11.2.0.1 first.
If so, anyone has the link to the 11.2.0.2 patch set download?
Download from MOS, section patches and updates (latest patchsets). Notice it is only available for Linux and Linux x64 at this time.
Best regards
Phil

HFM 11.1.2.2. upgrade utiltilty

Can anyone tell me if I can copy that to an existing 11.1.2.1 environment? Or will I need some of the .dlls and such to copy over to run this to upgrade the app before migrating to the new server?

Hi,
Step #1 would be to use the Copy Application Utility
Step #2 would be to use the schema update utility
Both utilities would be run from the new environment.

Upgrade from 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.3

Hi,
   We are planning to upgrade from 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.3. What are best practices that we can follow to upgrade.
As we all know that there is no client for HFM.Ours is classic HFM application.
Can we upgrade classic to classic to classic? or do we need to convert classic to EPMA in 11.1.2.1 and then upgarde?
If this is the case lot of traing needed for end users.
also what is the best method to upgrade: which method is best?
     1. Brand new installation, configuration and upgrade
      2. Applying maintenance patch?
Your inputs are appreciated..
Thank you
Raja

Hi Raja,
I believe that your questions will be answered by the requirements of your customer.
Can we upgrade classic? As far as I know yes. Maybe someone else knows more...
What is the best method to upgrade: which method is best? - I think that the question is what is the current environment and whether the hardware can support the new version for the next 5 years. If version 11.1.2.1 is installed on Windows 2003, you need a new installation. Additionally, is your client willing to take the risk and patch the current environment?

Can no longer connect to HFM Office provider via Smartview

Can connect to Essbase and Reporting and Analysis via Smartview. Just not HFM. This worked for over 1 month and suddenly just stopped! Nothing changed on the servers that we know of. Our TQA environment is still working fine. Just our production environment that broke!!
We are running version 11.1.2.1. Office 2003. XP on the desktops. Windows 2008 R2 64 bit enterprise on the servers. Shared and Private connections do not work.
Here is the link we use within smartview for private connection:
http://<servername>/hfmofficeprovider/hfmofficeprovider.aspx
Event Viewer on HFM web server gives this error each time I try:

When trying to access the HFM application via Workspace, receive a Class not registered warning. HFM application will not open. You are left at Workspace homepage.
I can run Financial Management client and access the HFM application with no issues. I can run Financial Reporting reports against the HFM app. via workspace with no issues.
We really need to get this working. SR is open with Oracle support. They recommended patch 12830755, but it did not help.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
What is the user running hfmSmartViewAppPool on your IIS ?
is there a possiblility that its rights has been updated recently ?
you can try to update the user with your DCOM service admin user and restart IIS and HFM services.
Hope it helps,
Ahmet

FDM export to HFM - 2nd export did not clear all data from 1st export?

Has anyone experienced exporting a replacement FDM file to HFM where the 2nd file did not contain an account that was present in the original file and that account/value in the 1st file then remained in the HFM trial balance and caused it to be out of balance? Does the replace export option not clear all the prior file data? The only unusual part of it might be that the problem account was derived using logic group script? Thanks.

Thanks Hensen - Sure, it was easy enough to fix once I deduced what the problem was - although my solution was just to use the data clear function and reload. The real question is how to prevent it from happening again and it sounds like I can't do much about it - other than trying to train the users to watch out for do-over files that have fewer accounts than the original load?? Am I wrong to think that HFM should try to fully clear all previous data from a load file if there is a replacement or at least try to validate whether or not all prior accounts have been repopulated?? There's plenty of good validation in the validation step of FDM. Why not during the export step? If this makes sense, I'll put in another "enhancement request" to support.

Can not open data grids or run reports in HFM

Hi
We created an application and have been working in it for weeks without any issues. Just recently once we open the app, we can longer open data grids or run financial grids. The system just hangs and we do not get an error message. Has anyone experienced this? We are wondering if it is a space issue on one of the data base tables.

Hello,
I would start by checking with your DBA to see if you have any issues with table space. Next, i would log onto the HFM servers and see if you have any errors being recorded in the Application Event View. If you do have errors in your Event Viewer, can you please post them?
Thanks

We are working with the DB team but they have confirmed that they is no issue with the TB, the process we have followed
As a standard process – while loading the data from FDM or manually to HFM – we don’t write any SQL query. Using the web interface – data would be loaded to HFM application. This data can we viewed by different reporting tools (smart view(excel)/HFR Report/etc.)
There is no any official documents on oracle website which talk about Insert SQL query which is used to insert data to HFM tables. Even, Hyperion does not provide much details on its internal tables used. Hyperion does not provide much insight on internal structure of HFM system.
As per Hyperion blogs/forums on internet –HFM stores the base level data in so called DCE tables (for example EMHFMFinal _DCE_1_2013 where EMHFMFinal is application name, 1 identifies the Scenario and 2013 the Year). Each row in the DCE table contains data for all periods of a given combination of dimensions (also called an intersection).
We are trying to load same data file with a replace option( it should delete the existing data before loading the data file).

HFM 11.1.2 Cannot Deploy Application from Workspace

Hi,
I have sucessfully installed Foundation,Workspace, Calc Manager, EPMA, HFM, FDM and Financial Reports on a single Win 2008 SP1 win 32 server. All Products configured on std ports and services are starting allright.
When I log on to Workspace and create a new HFM application validation is Sucessfull. However when I try to deploy the Application it fails.
Error Reported:
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Action aborted.
Log file Says nothing but:
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
My Environment:
Hyperion: 11.1.2
OS: Win 2008 SP1 win32
IIS7 has Allow all ISAPI
ASP is allowed

The problem was solved
I went to IIS and then to the Virtual Directory of HFM and clicked on Browse, instead of showing me a white page with HFM written on it, there was Internal Server Error web page with more details.
I Redeployed all Sub-Modules of HFM in EPM Configurator except for Database Configuration and then Restarted the machine. Problem Solved.

HFM Web Sever Configuration--Keep Alive and Session Time Out Optimal Config

We recently implemented an HFM 9.3.1 environment. We are using Windows 2003 Enterprise SP2 servers with IIS6. We have two HFM Web servers connecting to an application cluster with two application servers in the cluster. We were getting some errors when trying to unlock HFM cells in Workspace, but we were able to perform the functions fine on the application using the WIN32 client.
I opened a ticket with support and they recommended modifying the subcontext.properties file located in %HYPERION_HOME%\deployments\WebLogic9\servers\Workspace\webapps\workspace\conf. They recommended changing the following settings:
#KeepAliveInterval=30
#SessionTimeout=60
From what I understand, these settings are for the communication between the HFM Web Servers and the application cluster servers. I'm wondering how changing these settings may affect our environment. Are there negative effects and/or trade-offs for changing these settings? Is there a recommended threshold or maximum value?

Hi Dinesh,
This cannot be achieved without development enhancements to some standard SAP framework component, to introduce a "keep-alive" concept. If you are using a CMS for CTI or email integration, you need to ensure it supports keeping the communications session alive also.
Sincerely,
Glenn

HFM 11.1.2.1 Database Configuration issue - EPMCFG-10398

Hi All,
I was configuring EPM 11.1.2.1 on Windows 2003 32 bit instance with Oracle 11.2.0.1+ as DB
Products covered were :
1. Foundation Services
2. FDM
3. Reperting and Analysis
4. Financial Reporting
5. Web Analysis
6. HFM
7. Disclosure Management
I have created separate SID's and grouped them as
Foundation Services + Workspace = hypss
FDM + DM + Calc Mger = hypepm
RA + FR + DM = hyprna
HFM = hyphfm
I also configured them in above order only. However when I was configuring HFM I was given warning as - *"EPMCFG-10398: For successful completion of this task, the Oracle Database tnsnames.ora file must exist"*
Subsequently my following HFM configurations were failed
1. Configure Database
2. Register Application Servers/Clusters
My tnsnames.ora file is as follows
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
HYPSS =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = payous12)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =

(SERVICE_NAME = hypss)
HYPHFM =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = payous12)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =

(SERVICE_NAME = hyphfm)
HYPRNA =

(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = CLRExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
I changed the entry localhost to payous12 (my machin name) in tnsnames.ora. That was the only change I carried out in that file
Further I have not yet installed ethernet drivers on my machine and there is no IP address as well
All other configurations were successful. Can anyone guide for successful configuration of HFM
Thanks
Payous

Hi Bharat,
To resolve this issue you need to go to
Drive where ODAC is installed \app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\client_1\Network\Admin\Sample
Then Copy the tnsnames.ora file from Sample folder to following location
Drive where ODAC is installed \app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\client_1\Network\Admin
Make necessary changes to that file with respect to your HFM database
Sample tnsnames.ora will look like as follows
HYPHFM =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = payous12)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = hyphfm)

HFM 11.1.2.3 Configuration - Issue with Consolidation Administration

Hi,
This is regarding a new/fresh installation EPM 11.1.2.3 and have an issue with configuration on HFM; the deployment is distributed as below
1) Server 1 : Foundation,WebLogic Admin(/OHS) - Workspace/Shared Services/Planning/Calc Manager/EAS/APS
2) Server 2: Essbase
3) Server 3 : EPMA/HSF/HFM(FDMee/DRM-Yet, to be installed and configured) - Hadnt used these products and this is totally new to me.
We have issues with HFM - and while opening the Consolidation Administration.
We get an error as below, in workspace
An unexpected error has occured.Check server log or contact your system administrator for more information.
The web app logs suggested below errors- This is only part of the error log
E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\servers\HFMWeb0\logs\oracle-adf.log
Part of log
oracle.adf.model.adapter.DataControlFactoryImpl] [SRC_METHOD: createSession] Exception: [[
oracle.adf.model.adapter.AdapterException: DCA-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.epm.fm.common.exception.HFMException, msg=There is no registered cluster or server
I hadnt configured 'Configure Cluster' during the HFM configuration; this was a mistake being new to HFM.
On a further readup online on OTN etc, found that an application cluster is a must have on HFM, even if it is for one server.
Have one confusion now for fixing this,
Do a configuration only for 'Configure Cluster', and restart services to fix this issue
or
Do a configuration for 'Configure Cluster'and then again re-Configure HFM components
Configure > Financial Management — Configure Cluster
Re-Configure > Financial Management — Configure Application Server
Re-Configure > Financial Management — Configure Web Server
Re-Configure > Financial Management — Configure Web Application
Re-Configure > Financial Management — Enable Smart View Provider
Re-Configure > Financial Management — Enable Life Cycle Management Provider
Re-Configure > Financial Management — Enable Web Services

Got help from Oracle Support, and this problem is now resolved. The HFM app server was configured fine, earlier.
Had to follow below steps on the EPM configurator.
Stop Services
HFM - Configure Cluster
HFM - Configure Web Server
HFM - Deploy to App Server
Foundation - Configure Web Server.
Start Services
Refresh workspace

Bugs in HFM 11.1.2.2.300 ?

Dear experts,
I want to know if my issue below is caused by bug in HFM v11.1.2.2.300:
FYI, I'm using EPMA and my HFM is shared with Dimension Library
1. After running a consolidation, my elimination journal is created as I wanted. Clicking on Manage Journal brings me to the list of journal (above) and below is journal detail. But when i want to move to one journal and another, i got warning on the screen "The journal you are trying to load has been deleted and cannot be processed. Please refresh the journal list". I didn't intend to delete or do anything to the journal, only wants to view it. So, when I lower down the viewing screen, i'm able to select the journal list without any prompt message and i pull up again the journal view and voila!! the screen displaying my other journal. This is not happening when i'm viewing a normal journal (as in <entity cur adjs> level)
2. In my server, I have STAT application restored, also have my own application. STAT app, has many aliases: English, French, German, etc, while my apps has alias English, AliasTemp1, AliasTemp2. When I go to workspace, trying to change alias from preferences menu, I notice that STAT app is on the first list. So I click on dropdown and change the app, i select my own app. But the language dropdown doesn't change, means, it still point to STAT app.
3. I want to change my consolidation method's name from dimension library. I changed it from CostConsol to CostMethod. Since my apps is a shared one, i check that in my app, the name has been changed (from view application). After validating and deploy, I open Ownership Management to check the name. The name hasn't change yet, still using the old one. How to change the consol method name ?
4. In consolidation rules file, you always has syntax call MyDataUnit.GetItem(i, strAccount, strICP, strCustom1, strCustom2, strCustom3, strCustom4, dData). I have more than 4 custom dimension (i have 6). I want to include all 6 into this syntax, but my consolidation is aborted. Does this syntax only limit to custom4 dimension ?
5. I want to retrieve POWN and Parent value by using HS.Parent.Member and HS.Node.POWN(""). According to admin guide, both syntax can be run in Calculation Subroutine(). But i tried, it doesn't work.
6. In Sub Equity Pick up, I can't execute HS.EXP command. It always generates an error.
Please help if anyone knows/aware that this is happening in HFM v11.1.2.2.300 or maybe i did something wrong with the code.
Thanks,
Anna

You'll want to use the Alias for this.
