How do I get started using Essbase?

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to Essbase, and Business Intelligence. I went to a training/demo in March but have just done my first install to try it out for myself. (I'm a Java developer by training.)
So, I've installed Hyperion EPM 11.1.1.1 on my Windows XP desktop. I installed Foundation Services, Essbase, Web Analysis, and Workspace with the intention of creating some drillable reports and/or graphs on some client that I recently used for OBIEE Dashboards.
Please help either with the below errors or any other resources that can get me started (examples, walkthroughs, blogs, etc.).
Thanks, Mark

Check to see if Essbase and EAS are services. If they are, are they started? You can also start them in foreground. For EAS, go to Start->programs->Hyperion->Adminstrative servives-> start server. It should start up a tomcat window.
Typically, you have to start Essbase once in foreground. (Go to start->Hyperion->Essbase->Essbase and click it. IT will want the company info, admin user id and password.

  • How do I get started using my new 3GS for apps?

    Help. I am on a family plan and am 1 of 4 lines.
    I am the only one with iphone 3. How do I download
    aps? and which "passwords" etc. do I use to get
    started? I am all new at this.

        I love explaining iPhone concepts from scratch. You say you have the iPhone 3GS. If you have purchased this phone after 10/11/11, than that means you are running iOS 5, the latest version of your phone's ability, in simpler tems, you got all the new stuff on your phone that Apple released except for Siri.
        Now that we have that settled we can download an app. You start by finding the app titled "App Store" on your phone's homescreen. You lightly tap the app with your finger (not your fingernail). You have now entered into the hub of all apps (consists of games, utilities, business helpers, games, etc.) You should see five buttons on the bottom of your screen. If you want to download an app that is "all the rage" right now, press either the "Top 25" or "Featured" buttons. If you are looking for a certain app genre, tap the "Categories" button. If you know an app you specifically want by name, press the "Search" button, then tap on the white bar on the top of the screen and type in the app's name. Next, no matter what app you chose, when tapping it's name or logo, you are taken to it's description.
        You picked out an app you like, good for you. You can read it's description on this download page, look at screenshots of the app, gift the app (if the app is not free), and look at reviews from other people with this app all before you download it onto your phone. To finally proceed dowloadig the app, scroll to the top of the app's page and press the button in the top right corner that should either say "FREE" if the app is free, ".99" if the app costs a dollar, or "INSTALL" if you or someone else sharing your iTunes Store account has purchased this app. No matter what it says, you tap that button twice for confirmation, and then... here comes the password part.
        The password is for your Apple ID. Your Apple ID is like your username on a social network. The only difference is that instead of any username, it has to be an Email address. If you honestly do not know which Email address you used to be your Apple ID, you can find it by pressing the "Top 25" button in the App Store and scrolling all the way down. If you are logged in, it should say "Apple ID:[email protected]" or something. If you see your Email address there, you can press it and press the "iForgot" button to get your password Emailed to you on that address. If you don't see this, you are not logged in. this means you must try to log in if someone else in your family knows if you even have an Apple ID. If you now are sure you do not have an Apple ID you must make an Apple ID which will take a while. You will have to choose an Email address you can access to be your ID, a password you can remember, your billing info, and three emergency questions for recovering your account. once that is settled, you log into this account on your phone by tapping the button in the location I stated before (bottom of the Top 25 tab). You type in your password which you hopefully now know, you now revisit the app you wanted to dowload, reach the password imput screen that I had guided you to, and you type in your passowrd one last time after doing so, you will be forced out of the store, and you get to watch your app install. i recommend you be at home under wifi if this is a large app. After doing this, you will shortly be able to download more apps from the store without even nedding to type in your password. I just hope you remeber your password for when it askes you again the next time.
    Good luck!

  • How can I get started using MySQL?

    I'm really new to jdbc and was wondering if someone could offer some help on where to get started with using java and mysql. I'm not sure if I need extra packages or what and resource of info would be great.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    if I knew your environment I would have given you a better response, anyway, for now take this as a general guide
    All the instructions here are documented either in JDBC Tutorial or MySQL documentation.
    1) download the lastest JDBC Driver from mysql website:
    http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-jdbc-stable.html
    You download either one gz or zip files depends on your OS and unzip it.
    2) place the jar file:mysql-connector-java-3.0.9-stable.jar into your CLASSPATH;
    3) Thats it, just follow the direction in the JDBC Tutorial, like normal,
    MySQL driver class name is: org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
    the URL: jdbc:mysql://<host>:<port default=3306>/<database>?autoReconnect=ture
    and change the host, port , and database according to your settings!
    Note: I really do not recommend you using the JDBC-ODBC bridge, because it is a solution only if you do not have a direct JDBC driver to your database, its overhead anyway.
    Good luck!

  • How I get started using voice input with mac mail?

    Just got a new Imac.  have had Apple computers for a long time.  Want to start using voice input with mail.  How do I get started?

    Apple's voice input options are the following:
    Dictation
    This allows you to speak a phrase and have the system enter it as text in any text field, be it a name and address form or a text editor like Pages or Word. The settings for this service are in the Dictation system preferences, and by default you activate it by pressing the Fn key twice in a row and then speak the desired phrase after you hear the bing sounds.
    Speakable Items
    This option allows you to somewhat control the Mac's interface elements by speaking key phrases to the system. This option is enabled in the Accessibility system preferences, and is at the bottom of the listed services. In here you can turn on the service and calibrate it to properly hear your voice, set a "listening key" (similar to the Fn key for Dictation), and then enable various command libraries.

  • Adobe CreatePDF - How do I get started?

    How do I get started in Adobe CreatePDF

    Good day,
    Great question!  To get started with Adobe CreatePDF, you must first get logged in to the service.  You can log in to the service by visiting: http://createpdf.acrobat.com/signin.html and entering your Adobe ID (the email address you used to subscribe to the service) and your password.
    Once you're logged in, you'll be presented with several options:
    Select the option you'd like to use.  If you click 'Convert a File to PDF', you'll be presented with a prompt to select a file from your hard drive to submit to the CreatePDF service.  The 'Combine Files to PDF' is similar, but allows you to select existing PDF files or documents that still need to be converted.  The 'Export PDF to Word/Excel' button will allow you to convert existing PDF files you may have back to Word or Excel documents.  Lastly the 'Print to PDF Setup' button will bring you to instructions on how to install the Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer (Windows-only) to help with converting files types not specified on this list here: What file formats does Adobe CreatePDF support?
    If you have any questions, please let us know!  We're happy to help!

  • HT4059 How do I get started on downloading a book on my iPad? Kindle edition? . I don't want to buy a book just pay for rental?

    How do I get started on downloading a kindle book on my iPad? I don't want to buy one.

    Ask your local library if they offer electronic books for checkout and if so what system they use. Then you can look to see if there is an app for that system available for iOS devices. As RG said, neither Apple nor Amazon offer electronic books on a rental basis other than Amazon's Kindle textbook rental.

  • How can I get started if I am not an advanced user but still want to config ATS660 external trigger?

    There r 2 groups VIs provided by the company: easy VIs and advanced VIs. And set external trigger VI is in the latter one. The manual indicates that only the person who r very familar with the ATSApi Application Programming Interface should attempt using the Advaced VIs. Unfortunately I am not that kind of advanced user. If I want to learn all these stuff(like how to call the VIs in correct order), how can I get started?
    I will be really appreciated if I can get some help here.  all I have now is the ATS660 User Manual and ATS-VI Software Manual. I wonder if there should be other useful manuals, like NI-DAQ user manual that can help to understand how to call/config the device in right order.
    Thank u in advance.
    Dyna----an eager learner

    ya, u r right. That was what happened to me.
    The company is Alazartech. This is a PCI waveform digitizer.
    I've visited the www.alazartech.com , and found no further info about how to call this subVIs in correct order. So I am asking here , hope that any one is familiar with this stuff.
    Anyway, thank u for ur reply.
    I will keep focusing here and expecting some replies.

  • I am a new user, how do I get started?

    Hi guys! I am a new Mac owner and am new to iChat.. How do I get started and what are the differences between this and skype, and what are the benefits over skype?
    Thanks a million!

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    This Link has a second menu under the iChat icon
    http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/versions/ichatvers4/howtos4.html
    See Also iChat 101
    Work through the menu Left to right.
    Differences.
    You can use an AIM valid name from AIM or Apple and a Jabber ID (Many Public Jabber servers or a GoogleMail ID enabled for Talk).
    This will give you access to Buddies on two of the major IM services.
    The Video Quality is generally better in iChat.
    On an Intel Mac iChat 5 uses 30 Frames a sec even down to the first MacBook Pros that are 3 and 1/2 years old.
    The Pic size can vary depending how fast the processor is but the general size is 640 X 480 pixels (0.3 megapixels)
    The Internal iSights of later Macs can produce a higher resolution but iChat sticks (where it can) to this size
    It is backwards compatible with iChat 2 through 4 and AIM (On an PC) from AIM 5.5 through to the current AIM 7.2.x.x (Although success and quality can vary depending on how the Buddy is also set up).
    iChat always uses a set of dedicated ports to Video or Audio Chat and does not resort to using common Mail App ports or the web browsing port to get around any firewall.
    Video and Audio Only Chat are Peer-to-Peer connections.
    These last two make iChat more secure.
    iChat to iChat you can Video up to 3 other people at once or 9 others in a Audio Only chat.
    You get iChat Screen Sharing (with an Audio chat from iChat 4 onwards
    You get iChat Theatre for displaying Pics or other File's documents as the "video"
    Other than that they apps that can text or do Video or Audio Chats

    I can't sign in to iCloud. My Apple ID is valid, but is not valid for iCloud. How do I get to use iCloud?

    You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC by signing with your Apple ID.  You can only sign into an existing account on a PC.  You first have to create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

    I have had the same problem as yours on my Ipad after upgraded Procreate 2.01. My iOS is 7.04. I tried to find solution from internet for weeks. Fortunately, the problem was resolved a few minutes ago. It is very simple,
    1. Lunch outlook.com to confirm you can access hotmail mailbox. It means your account is Ok.
    2. Go to setting>Mail,Contacts,Calendars.Delete your hotmail account from your device.(my device is Ipad)
    3. Turn off your device, then turn on again.
    4. Go to setting>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and create your hotmail account by tap outlook.com. Be sure the incoming mail server is pop3.live.com.
    5. Waiting for validation.
    That's all. Hope my experience is helpful. Good luck!

    my ipod has broken. a friend has given me her ipod. but how do i get to use as mine. i can erase her songs and i have mine all on my pc in itunes. help me please friends??

    It appears that something happened to yur computer/iTunes files.  It happens sometimes.  To recovery:
    - Import the old music into the current iTunes library
    - Make sure all the apps are also in the library
    - If in the USA and therplaces where iCloud has benn released you can redownload most iTunes puchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are singned into the same iTunes account the originally purchased them.
    - After all the suff in in the iTunes library, make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes. 
    - Restore the iPod from backup and restore as necessary.

    I do not have any experience with Final Cut, but if you have existing projects that you MUST access; then you are in need of a solution on your new iMac in Mountain Lion!
    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Workarounds:
    1.  Purchase a used Mac that will run Snow Leopard (with the optional Rosetta installed) and continue to run FCE on that Mac (you can actually use Screen Sharing with a "headless" used Snow Leopard Mac Mini and use the 27" screen from your iMac to view and work FCE in the Mac Mini environment);
    2.  Upgrade to an Intel compatible version of FCE and hope it converts your existing projects to its newer format correctly.  There is much debate that the newer version of Final Cut are eliminating many needed features; for example Final Cut Pro X vs. Final Cut Pro 6 -- many users are staying with version 6;
    3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels and then install FCE in the Snow Leopard environment:
                                  [click on image to enlarge]
    Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
    NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
    NOTE 2:  Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.
