HFM to Essbase \ Planning via EA and EIS or AIS, whatever it is today..

Have HFM data and metadata being spilled into the EA repository...pretty good using taskflow... Now for the getting into Essbase \ Planning....
How do you decipher what HFM is dumping to the repository into something useful? Going to go down the path of AIS possibly use HAL to get it into planning but don't know where to start. If anyone is willing to point me in the right direction, would be grateful. If you would be willing to share any examples or tips \ tricks, that would be great also!
9.2.0.2 about to be 9.2.0.3
Thank you!

Where does the data go missing? i.e. Is there data at the Import, Validate, Export steps but no export file is produced or, for instance is no data imported at the import step. It should be pretty ovbvious at which stage the data is lost.

  • MIGRATION: Budget Billing Plans via Emigall

    Hello there!
    We are trying to migrate Budget Billing Plans via Emigall, and we don't really know how to do it... We have been checking all BBP_* Emigall Objects and, as far as we know, BBP_MULT object is the one we have to use...
    But we don't know if it is posible to migrate an opened BBP (meaning 'in process'). For example:
    bbp_number1. DUE_DATE=25.11.2009, invoiced, payment date=05.11.2009, clearing_doc=XXXXXXXXXXX1, ...
    bbp_number2. DUE_DATE=26.12.2009, invoiced, payment date=05.12.2009, clearing_doc=XXXXXXXXXXX2, ...
    bbp_number3. DUE_DATE=26.01.2010, invoiced, payment date=05.01.2010, clearing_doc=XXXXXXXXXXX3, ...
    bbp_number4. DUE_DATE=25.02.2010, invoiced, payment date=05.02.2010, clearing_doc=XXXXXXXXXXX4, ...
    bbp_number5. DUE_DATE=25.03.2010, invoiced, payment date=05.03.2010, clearing_doc=XXXXXXXXXXX5, ...
    -> MIGRATION <-
    bbp_number6. DUE_DATE=08.06.2010,not invoiced
    bbp_number7. DUE_DATE=08.06.2010,not invoiced
    ETC.
    There are a couple of important premises I want you to consider:
    -As this is a Company A to Company B migration, some data extractions can not be performed: Neither Bill Documents, nor Invoices will be migrated. All this data will be stored as PDF documents.
    -Only consumption data will be stored in the standard database.
    Will I be able to migrate this Budget Billing Plan without previously doing a regularization process (final bill, year-end bill) in the legacy system?
    Do I need to migrate billing and/or invoicing documents before migrating BBPs? (this would be impossible for me)
    What Emigall Object do I have to use?
    Every response will be welcome! Thanks in advance, best regards!

    Hi, and thank you very much for your answer.
    I understand what you mean but then, how do you do the final bill (regularization process)? At the end you know the amount the client has payed you, but you don´t know how much he payed on the legacy system, right?
    We are migrating them with the object BBP_MULT (and we try to migrate the whole plan, with 12 quotes), but we cannot migrate the "old" quotes, already payed in the legacy system. They appeared as "not payed", even if we inform the payment date, and the field "Clearing reason". Could you help us? Is it better to migrate them with the object you are using (BBP_EXT) instead of ours?
    Thank you!

  • Planning and EIS

    Does planning work with EIS? If we wanted to write back to the detail (in relational table) from planning, is that possible?Thanks for any suggestions!

    Planning requires that the metadata either be defined manually or via HAL. So, out of the box, Planning doesn't snap in with EIS.That said, you can certainly architect a solution that incorporates Planning, a detailed reporting solution in Essbase, coordination between Planning and Essbase via Partitioning, and an EIS package to allow drill to detail from the reporting cube. That is exactly the architecture that we are implementing at a client currently. If you insisted on connecting EIS with your Planning cubes, I've been told that it is possible to fake EIS and convince it that it built the Planning Essbase cubes, thereby allowing drill back.

  • HFM or Essbase for consolidation?

    We are having a spirited debate on our project team about data flow and whether we need HFM or just use Essbase for simple consolidation and reporting along with Planning.
    First - here is a quick backstory. We have used essbase for very simple corporate consolidation at a very high level. We have 4 companies we are consolidating with different charts of accounts and GL systems. We are now developing a Hyperion Planning application that pulls in detailed actual information at the trial balance level and want to rework our consolidation application to do the same to be consistent. One of our companies has multiple currencies we will need to convert eventually (they have a stand alone Hyperion app now).
    The main question is what functionality would we gain by developing an HFM application to complement our planning app and using a single ASO cube on top of them for reporting versus just using Essbase and Planning?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Aside from the simple fact that it's a better product (just teasing), there are a few key factors in the decision whether to use HFM rather than Essbase for consolidations. Ask whether you need:
    1) Journal Entries, including all of the audit trail associated with them.
    2) Very flexible currency translation.
    3) Consolidation rules including intercompany eliminations. I understand Essbase can be made to do this, but I also believe it is non-trivial to set up and maintain.
    4) Complex consolidation logic including Organization By Period.
    5) Process Management.
    6) Data and Task Audit
    I'm sure there are man more differences, but the above represent the most commonly discussed differences. If you don't need any of the above, and you already own Essbase and have in-house expertise to manage the system, then Essbase may be the right choice for you.

  • Essbase Excel Macro's and Mxl client

    Hello Folks,
    We are working on 11.1.2.1 having Essbase, Planning, HFM and financial Reports & ODI. We have built the environment newly. I have a scenario where we need to run the ODI batches and run the excel macros to load some of the data. Our batches run from ODI. We have distributed environment for Hyperion servers, totally 3 servers.
    Components in distributed environment:
    1. Shared services, Planning, HFM client, BI Reporting tools, EAS client, Maxl,ODI(server1)
    2. Essbase Server,Maxl(server2)
    3. HFM(Server3)
    MS office & ODI installed on Server1.
    We need to run the batches using ODI & Excel Macro's to load the data.
    I have setup  the maxl client in Server1 for the ODI batch to use for loading data into essbase but my problem is i want to use excel macro's also same time. Is there any possibility or workaround to use both at a time on same servers?
    Thanks,
    Tamas

    What is the error you are getting while running it from ODI? I'm assuming that you are getting some error when you said only one is working.
    When you install EXCEL Add-in it is changing your path and abrorpath variables and that could be the reason why maxl is not working. If ODI is using a bat file why don't you set temporary variable and try.
    in you bat file add these lines (before the maxl call, i would ad them to the start)
    SET ARBORPATH=C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient
    SET PATH=%ARBORPATH%\bin;%PATH%

  • EAL Security in HFM or Essbase?

    Does anyone know what the best way of managing EAL security for an HFM to Essbase via EAL data flow? Is the end user security best managed in HFM or in Essbase (assuming that is the way it works for an EAL cube)? Does the security need to be managed in both HFM and Essbase or can it just be managed in the Essbase filters?
    Any help on the best way to provision and manage user security for an EAL solution would be greatly appreciated.

    EAL creates an essbase cube and does not push down any security from HFM, so it will be a combination of provisoning users/group to the essbase cube through through HSS and then essbase filters for security on the members.

  • Get cell value in Planning Data form and using it in a business rule

    Hi Everybody,
    if i set the data type of an Account Member as text, is there a way to get the value inserted by the user in a dataform, turning it as dimensional member and using it in a business rule?
    So, if the user insert the value "USA" in a cell, can i use any functions to tell essbase that "USA" is a dimensional member and then using it in a business rule, for example in a cross-dimension like Period1->FY12->USA?
    I tried to use the function @Member and it doesn't work, but i'm wondering if there is a way that can let me get the value inserted and use it just like a dimensional member. What are the ways that can let user input value that can be used in a business rule? I think one is by using SmartList, is there any other ways? Maybe using variables?? As an alternative i tried to use Prompt Variable but there are too many members on which the rule must run.
    Please help me, i wanna know if i can or not let the user input the member on which the rule must run...
    Thank all guys
    Bye
    Maurizio

    Thanks EW for your answer,
    YesI could use SmartList even if i think it's very tough to handle. My experience on using SmartList in caclc script is not so good. I try to enter in details of my requirement:
    I have 500 account members.
    For each one, I have to calculate the monthly budget by sharing the amount among the months. The user wants to calculate it on the basis of the actual flow(over the months) of an unspecified account of the prior year. The unspecified account must be inserted in a data form.
    So, i could use a Smart List but it colud be of 500 elements and then i should make a rule with as many IF as how many are the accounts. Or im wrong? The only way to use smart list dynamically in a business rule is by referring its values in a IF condition. Or i'm wrong.
    I tried to use execution variable ma it seems don't work. In this case the user must pay attention to write the account correctly, otherwise as you say the rule doesn't work.
    The value in PD0A020 is "PD0A000" (that is a dimensional member). The value in PD0A000 is "hello". In PD0A040 the rule returns "PD0A000" and not "hello" as i would. The function @Member appears to be not able to catch the dimensional member by the value in PD0A000.
    {Example}="test"->"Input"->"Scenario_test"->"FY12"->"PD0A020";
    Fix("test1","Input","Scenario_test","FY12")
    "PD0A040"=@Member({Example});
    endfix
    So, my doubt is: is it possible for Essbase/Planning to use the value inserted in a data form and to turn it in a dimensional member? What are the practicable ways to let the user input/choose the member on which makes the rule run?
    Thank you Ew, thank you guys

  • Is it possible to connect a mac book pro via thunderbolt and a dvi switchbox (multiple computers) to a thunderbolt display?

    Hi,
    I'm planning to buy a thunderbolt display.Since I have not only apple computers with a thunderbolt port I wonder if it's possible to connect my mac book pro via thunderbolt and a DVI switchbox via a "mini displayport to DVI connector" to the thunderbolt display at the same time. Thunderbolt is a bus architecture. Thus there must be an ingoing and an outgoing port on the display. The rearview of the display I've seen so far don't show this:
    If this is not possible then I must question the market chances of this product. Seems as if the product marketing guys exaggerated the launch of the thunderbolt technology.

    How to connect windows laptop (vga) to thunderbolt display?
    AHHH??!!!!!!  Was that your original question??   I assumed you were trying to output FROM your computer (MacBook Pro w/ Thunderbolt) to the new display and then OUT to be the video source to a DVI switcher.
    MB Pro w/TB ---> TB Display ---> mDP-to-DVI adapter ---> DVI switcher
    So it seems as if it's not possible to use the thunderbolt display with the mini display port adapter to DVI you've mentioned.
    I did not understand that you were trying to use other PC's into a switcher and then THAT Video source to connect INTO the TB display.   If THAT is what you're trying to do, then NO....  You can NOT use the new TB Display to be used to display "FROM" a DVI switcher (and also can NOT be used to display from other Non-TB-Apple computers).
    I've also called apple. The statement was that one needs a computer with osx 10.6.x in order to connect the thunderbolt display. That makes it impossible to hook a windows pc or older mac to the new and shiny thunderbolt display.
    I wonder why apple doesn't state this in their technical descriptions...?
    -ais-swiss
    Actually, the state that information all over the Tech Specs on the Apple Store website.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC914LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    Here are two different statements from that webpage:
    So yes.... other NON-Apple PC's (or non-TB devices) do Not have the Thunderbolt technology (hardware/software) to be able to communicate with the TB display or other TB devices.

  • Error While Loading data from HFM to Essbase

    Hi,

I am also using couple of mapping expression like {CASEWHEN(HFMDATA."Account" = '3110', 'PL10100', HFMDATA."Account") } , {CASEWHEN(HFMDATA."Period" = 'January', 'Jan', HFMDATA."Period") } etc.

    Hi John,
    Thank you very much for your response. Pasting here the SQl generated at step "8. Integration - Load data into Essbase" in the operator in the description tab, for your perusal -

    From the SQL, you may find the CASEWHEN expressions. Yes these i have added in the interface mapping section, with the help of ODI expression editor. Following are the expressions i have used, one statement for one mapping each. This is just to make the data of HFM, compatible to Essbase. e.g. - account number in HFM for which i am estracting the data is 3110, but there is no account '3110' in the essbase application, so essbase application wont be able to load the data. To make the HFM data compatible with Essbase, these casewhen statements have been used. I hope its fine to use such statements in mapping.
    CASEWHEN(HFMDATA."Year" = '2007', 'FY09', HFMDATA."Year")
    CASEWHEN(HFMDATA."View" = 'YTD', 'Input', HFMDATA."View")
    CASEWHEN(HFMDATA."Entity" = '100106_LC', '1030GB', HFMDATA."Entity")

    CASEWHEN(HFMDATA."Account" = '3110', 'PL10100', HFMDATA."Account")
    CASEWHEN(HFMDATA."Custom1" = '2012', 'Atacand', HFMDATA."Custom1")
    CASEWHEN(HFMDATA."Period" = 'January', 'Jan', HFMDATA."Period")
    If you can get some idea from the SQL and help me out!

  • Essbase 11.1.2 and 11.1.1.3 on same Linux server

    Hi all
    We are planning and upgrade of Planning 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2 and I understand that it is basically a install then migration. We would like to maintain our current linux servers for the next version. Is there a way we can have 2 different version of Essbase 11.1.2 and 11.1.1.3 running out of 2 separate homes on 1 Linux server. Then perform the migration and clean up the other one?
    If so has anyone done it and what are the pitfalls I may run into?
    thanx

    The only problem is if you try to run both at the same time you're going to have port conflicts unless you change the default ports on the 11.1.2.2 installation.

  • Planning ,Business rules and Reporting Analysis Backup

    Hi
    Currently we have migrated our Hyperion Planning EPMA 11.1.1.2 applications from TEST to PROD on windows 2003 Server (2 boxes).Essbase Server on UNIX and Application Server is OAS.We need to take backups on daily basis for Hyperion planning, BR's ,Reporting Analysis , Financial Reporting and Essbase , Open LDAP.
    But now We are taking only backups for Essbase and Open LDAP by using maxl script and Backup.bat file (Scheduled in Windows Scheduler)
    As per the documentation we are going to take the backups for the Hyperion planning, BR's ,Reporting Analysis , Financial Reporting also.
    Our concerns are
    1)Is there any BAT files for planning , BR'S and Reporting like open LDAP Backup.BAT
    2) If doesn't have how can we move ?(not manually, Using Windows Scheduler)
    3) Is there any necessity to create new Batch scripts for this action?
    Could you please any one help me out.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    There are no other batch scripts I am aware of, you will have to create any new ones.
    In regards to backing up with business rules and planning, that would be mainly be backing up the repository.
    You can also use LCM to export your objects and this can be called from command line.

  • Hot backups for essbase planning databases

    Hi gurus
    Can please tell me best advice for making hot backups of our essbase planning databases for disaster recoveries?
    We try doubletake but files are locked unless essbase is put in read-only mode.
    Any good tools for this? Certified stuff? Heard maybe VBE?
    TIA
    M.

    Hi,
    First of all have you read the document of backing up essbase :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/hfm_backup.pdf
    If you are taking a backup while essbase is running then you will need to put the databases into read only mode, this can be done by using a maxl script and once again to take it out of read only mode.
    There are lots of 3rd party applications out there for backing up file structures, it all depends on what you want it to do and how much you want to pay.
    If it is a small installation you could even script it yourself depensing on your knowledge to back up files and copy them to a san or backup drive.
