HFM and Oracle VM

Hi all
Would there be any issues in running HFM 11 (all componenents except Essbase) on a single machine split into 3 virtual machines using Oracle VM?
Thanks
Herman

Hi Herman,
It depends on how many users you will have and also how large the machine is.
For instance a dual processor quad core machine with 16 GB of ram with 3 virtual machines should support a 10-20 user environment. I always recommend the server hardware be dedicated to the Hyperion environment and not mix it with other software.

How to load data in HFM from oracle database without FDM

hi all,
I want to know that whether we can load data directlyrom oracle database residing on different server without writing the integartion script in FDM.
points to note:
we want to load data without using
1.FDM
2.Flat file
3.Excel file or csv or dat file

The process is described in the EPMA administrator's guide, which you can find in pdf format included in the HFM product documentation. The file name is bpma_admin.pdf. In the case that you have installed HFM (and included EPMA during the installation process), you may find this file in a folder that will look like C:\Hyperion\FinancialManagement\Documentation\en.
If you do not have installed the products yet, you should bear in mind that all Hyperion product documentation (including HFM) can be downloaded from the e-delivery site of Oracle (http://edelivery.oracle.com). The Hyperion product documentation is a large archive (zip), containing smaller archives per product. The smaller archive you need to open once you download the complete product documentation is the hfm_93100_product_doc.zip.

ORA-12154 Connection error from HFM to Oracle Database

Hi,
I am trying to configure Hyperion HFM but can write to HFM database.
The implementation architecture:
Hyperion 11.1.2.2 (with all the requiered patches for HFM, FDM, Shared Services, Workspace and Oracle Application Development)
Server 1:
Windows Server 2008 x64
Installed products: Foundation (EPMA, CalcManager), BI, HFM web components and ADM driver
Configured products: Foundation(EPMA, CalcManager), BI.
Database Client: 11gR2 x64
Server 2:
Windows Server 2008 x64
Installed products: HFM, FDQM
Configured Products: FDQM, HFM
Database Client: 11gR2 x32, 11gR2 x64 (x32 version installed first)
Server 3:
Database: Oracle 11.2.0.2
All the products from server 1 are working fine, FDQM (server 2) is also working fine, but, when I try to do any action related with HFM database the system fails.
I have tested the connection is these scenarios:
1. SQLdeveloper: successfull!, I can create tables, views, etc. Double checking the user privileges it has all the required.
2. tnsping: successfull!
3. HFMApplicationCopy utility: Successfull using UDL file and writing the connection parameters.
4. EPM System Configurator: the configurator successfully validates the database connection information, but does not create the tables on the database. No errors in the configtool log.
5. EPM Diagnostic Tool: fails with this error message:

Hi,
I Have solved one of my problems, the one that keep HFM from connecting to the Oracle database.
I just change the TNSNAMES.ORA, like this:
Initial tnsnames.ora
PRUEBA.WORLD=
+(DESCRIPTION_LIST =+
+(DESCRIPTION =+
+(LOAD_BALANACE = ON)+
+(FAILOVER = ON)+
+(ADDRESS_LIST =+
+(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <server_name>)(PORT = <port>))+
+)+
+(CONNECT_DATA =+
+(SERVICE_NAME = <service_name>)+
+)+
+)+
+)+
Modified tnsnames.ora
PRUEBA.WORLD=
+(DESCRIPTION =+
+(LOAD_BALANACE = ON)+
+(FAILOVER = ON)+
+(ADDRESS_LIST =+
+(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <server_name>)(PORT = <port>))+
+)+
+(CONNECT_DATA =+
+(SERVICE_NAME = <service_name>)+
+)+
+)+
I Just delete the line "+(DESCRIPTION_LIST =+" and its corresponding closing parenthesis, I did this cause in the configuration utility log I saw this line:
+TNS parsing: Entry: DESCRIPTION_LIST [[Address: Protocol:(TCP) Host:(<server_name>) Port:(1521) SID:(<service_name>)]]+
So, if the applications were trying to connect to connection descriptor DESCRIPTION_LIST, the driver could not recognize DESCRIPTION_LIST as a valid one.
There is a lot going on behind the scenes when you work with Oracle Database as the repository, maybe there is some other way to address this issue, but it worked for me, hope it can help you too.

Can we restore HFM from Oracle DB Schema

Hi All
We have some issue and we have to restore a backup of production HFM DB schema to QA. Right now Prod HFM is not good, so we cannot do a copyapplication.exe.
Can you please tell me the steps involved in restoring HFM app from Oracle DB?
We are using HFM 9.3.1 and Oracle DB as backend.
I have done the oracle db migration for Planning but HFM is something new to me.
Thanks in advance for your help
Raghu.

do the Schema restore and then change the cluster settings on Server/Web Configuration screenj

HFM and FDM on Windows server 2008 - 64 bit

Hi All,
We are installing HFM and FDM on Windows server 2008 - 64 bit.
For FDM we installed 32 bit oracle client and for HFM 64 bit client.
When trying to Configure HFM the database Configuration is failing.
Appreciate all your support.

I was not able to get both HFM and FDM to work on the same node due to differences in the 32/64 bit Oracle Client requirements. I suggest moving FDM to another node where you can install the 32 bit client without effecting HFM.

Is this script still valid for setting up Drill through between HFM and FDM

Guys hoping some one can shed a light.
I am running hfm and fdm realese 11.1.1.3.000
I am having issues setting up the SSO authentication (all the other steps have been done, and HFM is aware that I have uploaded information that can drill back). I am using an SSO script that was part of an Oracle presentation, but don't know if that script is still relevant.
Here is a copy of the script (Visual Basic Script SSO Authentication) :
Function AuthenticateSSO(token, applicationName)
' Place your single sign-on authentication script here
' To signify an authentication failure, you should
' raise an error by calling the following method:
' Err.Raise [error number over 1000], [source], [description]
' Applicationname = FDMApplication in URL
Const strProcSig = "AuthenticateSSO"
Dim strUsername
Dim strDomain
Dim objHFMSSO
Dim strClusterName ' HFM cluster name
Dim strAppName ' HFM application name
Set objHFMSSO = CreateObject("upsIntBlockFM40C.clsHypeWindowFM")
If Not objHFMSSO Is Nothing Then
strClustername = "<xxxxxxxx>"
Select Case ApplicationName
Case "<xxxxxxxx>"
strAppName = "<xxxxxxxx>"
End Select
strUsername = objHFMSSO.Connection.GetUsernameFromToken(CStr(Token), strClustername, strAppName)
If Trim(strUsername & "") = "" Then
' Blank user name means the token is invalid.
Set objHFMSSO = Nothing
Err.Raise 2655, strProcSig, "The Single Sign-on token is invalid."
Else
' Return the user name from the authenticated token.
AuthenticateSSO = strUsername
End If
End If
Set objHFMSSO = Nothing
End Function
After I input all the information requested, I always get the error Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /HyperionFDM/AuthorizedPages/IntersectionSummaryByLocation.aspx
I did saw a note about this error that suggested that I needed to re-register and deploy again FDM. Did, but still have the same issue. So the only thing that I don't control is the script and that is why I am asking if this script is still active and usable?

I have done all of that but I still get an error when trying to drill back. I am using the Admin ID which exist on both FDM and HFM but I am always getting the
Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

So the only thing that I hadn't tried at the time was the SSO script. Which was what I did.

HFM and Session Timeout

Is there any way to change the time before you are automatically logged out of an HFM (or Workspace) web session due to inactivity?
Thanks.
Terri T.

Hi,
Try something like this:
Workspace timeout settings:
● Application server session timeout— Time in minutes after which the application server
times out a session if no requests are received for that session
❍ In \Workspace deployment\WEB-INF\web.xml:
<session-config>
<session-timeout>60 </session-timeout>
</session-config>
❍ Default is 60 minutes
Note:
All Reporting and Analysis Web applications session timeouts should be greater than
10 minutes.
● Workspace timeout—Time in minutes after which Workspace warns and logs out inactive
users
Workspace sends “keep alive” requests to all the application servers (Workspace, Financial
Reporting, Web Analysis, and Oracle's Hyperion® Performance Scorecard – System 9). If
there is no activity in Workspace per the session timeout setting, the user is warned that the
session is about to end. If the user does not take action within 5 minutes, the user is logged
out.
❍ In \conf\subcontext.properties of the Workspace Web application:
KeepAliveInteral=10
SessionTimeout=30
22 Administration Tools and Tasks
❍ Default is 10 minutes for keep alive and 30 minutes for session timeout

Select query differences between oracle 9 and oracle 8.

Hi,
I have a problem using the select query between oracle 7 and oracle 9i I don't have the same result :
ex:
With oracle7
SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
'CHAMP 'CHAMP
champ1 champ2
With Oracle 9
SQL> select 'champ1','champ2' from DUAL;
'CHAMP1' 'CHAMP2'
champ1 champ2
So Can someone tell me how to solve this problem ? Is there a parameter in oracle 9 to set?
Thanx.

Whenever you are posting anything over internet forums like this - you should be very careful about not just posting the details which requires to solve the problem - also should be sensible about your question.
This is not at all desired when you are posting such question. It may be because - you may not well aware of the fact.
My suggestion is -> First Go through the basics Of SQL in general.
Then go for any specific product like Oracle/ SQL Server/ Sybase etc.
And, finally learn the advanced commands of that DB.
You asked it - may be you thought the difference in output in terms of lines. But, that is not your actual output. That is the graphical display part only.
Anyway,
You can get the quite familier output by first type the following command ->
set lin 310Regards.

Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory

Hello Gurus,
What is the relationship between Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory.
To my understanding, OID is required to install SSO.
If OID already exist, can we just install SSO and go on integrating it to existing OID.
Great Thanks,

Hi Tim,
I've been working on this and could reproduce the issue with anonymous binds. A fix will be ready in 4.2.1.
So what I really need is the password used for login to pass to the is_member call.The P101_PASSWORD item does not save state. However, you can access the value during submit processing of the login page, for example in the post authentication function of your authentication scheme. People sometimes put code in there to query the user's groups (e.g. with apex_ldap.member_of2) and save them in an application. This item value can then be used in the authorization schemes.

Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms?
I have generated a form, which is based on a view. The view uses the mdsys.sdo_relate operator. Somehow I am unable to get the form to perform (to get one record it takes over 20 minutes). While useing sql-navigator to process the same statement it seems no problem. The query that also uses the view, is then processed in 10 seconds.
I also noticed that when text-functions like ' lower' of ' upper' are used to query the view, the query is processed within 15 seconds. If I don't use ' lower' or ' upper' it takes a long time (> 20 minutes) to process the query. Is it possible that this causes the bad performance of the form?
On metalink I have found that forms and spatial do not cooperate because of the pl/sql version that
forms6 uses. There is no solution presented, does anyone know of a work around?
My configuration is:
Oracle 8.1.7 on WIN2K @ PIII-800Mhz 256 Mb memory.
Formsbuilder 6
If requested I can post the queries that I have made.
With regards,

Limitation on SQL executing select statement from ADO and Oracle 8.1.7.1 OleDB Driver

Hi,
we are running a query with a big dunamic select statement from VB code using ADO command object. When Execute method is called system hangs and control won't return back to the application. it seems to be that there is some type limitation on Query string length. Please tell us if there is any?
we are running Oracle 8.1.7 Server on Windows 200 Server and connecting from a W2K professional, ADO 2.6 and Oracle OLEDB 8.1.7.1 OLEDB Driver.
Sample code:
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Set cmd = New Command
With cmd
.CommandText = ' some text with more than 2500 characters
.CommandType = adCmdText
Set rs = .Execute
End With
when i debug using VB6 and when .Execute line is called system hangs or return a message method <<somemethod> of <<some class name>> failed error.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Anil

A stored procedure would only slow you down here if it was poorly written. I suspect you want to use the translate function. I'm cutting & pasting examples from the documentation-- a search at tahiti.oracle.com will give you all the info you'll need.
Examples
The following statement translates a license number. All letters 'ABC...Z' are translated to 'X' and all digits '012 . . . 9' are translated to '9':
SELECT TRANSLATE('2KRW229',
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
'9999999999XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX') "License"
FROM DUAL;
License
9XXX999
The following statement returns a license number with the characters removed and the digits remaining:
SELECT TRANSLATE('2KRW229',
'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', '0123456789')
"Translate example"
FROM DUAL;
Translate example
2229
Also, LIKE '%<string>%' is going to be rather expensive simply because it has to compare the entire string and because it forces full table scans, rather than using indexes. You could speed this sort of query up by using interMedia Text (Oracle Text now in 9i). If you can eliminate one of the '%' options, you could also improve things.
My guess is that your stored procedure is inefficient and that's causing the problem-- 5k rows per table should be pretty trivial.
If you post your query over on the PL/SQL forum, there are better performance tuners than I that might have more hints for you. To get really good advice, though, you'lllikely have to get at least the execution plan for this statement and may need to do some profiling to identify the problem areas.

New to XML and Oracle

Just trying to clarify some issues as I try and learn about XML, and specifically how it integrates into the DB.
1 - Is there a way with Oracle tools for me to get an XSD of an existing 9i relational schema? We are not currently using the XML DB, but our middleware developers would like to have an up to date XSD to use for their internal mapping.
2 - Is there any way that I can keep that XSD up-to-date automatically, so I get a new one whenever the schema gets updated?
3 - If I wanted to investigate storing XML docs within the DB in native XML format, I need to have an XML DB, correct? Is this DB construct maintained seperatelly from my "normal" relational schema? or are they kept in sync by Oracle?
I know these may all be real basic questions, but as I said, I'm new to XML and Oracle. I am reading as much as I can, but there are a lot of docs out there.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi
1. On my opinion such a tool doesn't exists. Some parts can be implemented elsewhere, but not as described by you... e.g. with XSU if you specify the parameter "withschema" the XSD of the executed statement is generated. Another example is to use DBMS_METADATA to dump the data dictionary in XML (but not XSD, of course you could write your own XSLT to do this transformation...).
2. -
3. If you use XSD-based tables the XSD and the relational model are stored separately in the data dictionary. Therefore if you change the XSD you have to drop/create the XSD-based table... no schema evolution yet.
