Hyperion 8.5 PROD to DEV

Hi Guru's,
We are in the phase of migrationg from Hyperion 8.5 to oracle EPM. In between one of our group wants the sync Hyperion 8.5 PROD to Hyperion 8.5 DEV. we can say DEV environmet is used by few members and it is almost a plain environment.
is there a way to replicate the 8.5 Prod to 8.5 DEV directly? What are the steps involved? what are the different methods available to acheive it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Krishna,
Thank you for your assistance. I assume these changes will have to be done on the server that Hyperion is installed. The DBAs that have access to these files are out for the Christmas holiday. I will work with them next week and will let you know the result.
Thank you again and Happy Holidays,
Seyed

Customization copy from ECC Prod to Dev

Hi gurus,
There is a complaint from our BI team that so much of customization was directly made in QA in the early phases of the SAP Implementation Project and this was not re-developed in DEV and moved to QA and Production. This has resulted in loss of customization in development and is not suitable for Unit and Product testing.
To put Prod and Dev in sync with customizing, I propose to export Prod / QA client 100 (with SAP_CUST profile) and import into DEV client 100. What are your views on
the best practices
technical feasibility
client security implications
Thanks for your help.

The same product is installed, with the same release, in both systems.
All components in these systems, including add-ons, have the same development status.

SAP_CUST only copy customizing data. so, there is no risk of misusing production data as in case of system refresh.

Process for separate Prod and Dev enviroments

apologies for the newbie question....currently I have 1 SSAS instance with Cube , measure and dimensions and DB which is Prod and Dev at the same time (most likely Dev with
no Prod).
Now when business users started using Cubes, I'd need to add Prod instance and separate Prod and Dev.
what 'd be the best approach?
1 - should I just copy and reuse the latest version of SSAS project in Visual studio, and reuse this project as PROD and have another Project as DEV?
2. how do I apply Dev changes to Prod?
3. re backup - is it enough to backup VS (Visual studio) project/solution definitions?

Ideally you need to have two instances i.e DEV and PROD. Now since you have a server which client is already using, you need to create another instance wherein you can install SSAS services. If you want to extract the structure of your cube then you can
use Import option. Once you get your cube structure and database on another new server you can use that as a DEV or PROD as per your convenience.
http://aniruddhathengadi.blogspot.com/2011/09/create-analysis-services-project-based.html
Another question is how to deploy changes;
So if you are doing any development on DEV server and you want that to deploy on PROD server then you can extract the cube XMLA from DEV server cube copy and deploy that on PROD server. You need to process cube once you deploy your XMLA on PROD.
There are some other options of deployment available which you can check.

Determining the instance (PROD or DEV) inside of BI publisher

We have a problem in that all of our instances print to the same printers. However, when we clone an instance of PROD to DEV, we want the reports to say which instance they came from so no one gets confused. Right now, we have no distinguishable away to determine that. Is there any information coming through the raw XML data that could give us the instance name (PROD or DEV). If not, is there any built in variable we could grab?
Thanks.

Not sure, what is your datasource for the report.
There is no identifier by default.
But you can make use of some options:
1. add query in the report itself to get the instance name of Db and display in the page footer/header.
2. if you had used the common sub-templating concept, just changing the single template in the common , would have helped
3. using custom properties
but in all three, you have do identify something, that its not PROD instance.

Can you create multiple connections in smartview? for PROD and DEV?

Hi,
We have a production and development hyperion planning. In Smartview, we have successfully connected to PROD but can we create another connection to DEV?
or do we keep replacing the URL?
thanks

I think from 11.1.2.2 onwards the ability to add servers in Shared Connection is removed and an enhancement is filed to have that ability.
You can use private connection to connect to different instances
http://DEV:19000/aps/APS for Essbase
http://DEV:19000/HyperionPlanning/SmartView HyperionPlanning
If you are on 11.1.2.3 you can create an XML file and use that as your Shared Connection

Same AppSet Name, 2 Different Server (Prod and Dev) causing XML corruption

Thx
Edited by: Joan Perrella on Oct 2, 2010 12:33 AM

Also, another scenario: User tried to connect durring or after an Optimization is perpformed?
Will this cause an AppInfo.XML corruption?
And what happens if the user changes between 2 different AppSets within the same server (Prod)?
Will this cause the AppInfo.XML corruption?
I have seen many different responses as to why this occurs, and until we upgrade to BPC 7.5 MS occurs, we need to better understand what is causing this, so that we can help our users better understand the current situation here.
We have deleted the duplicate AppSet within 2 different servers and renamed the duplicate AppSet within DEV to a unique name. Also, had the users delete the corrupted AppInfo.XML file and so forthe, but still this Randomly Occurs to this date.
Answers please....

Transport object from Prod to Dev

Hi Folks,
Developer wants to restore a version of SAP "Smart Form" from production to Dev system as the one in dev system lost some modifications. In Dev system, it was always showing the current active version and there are no traces of old versions or i am not looking in the correct place.
In this particular landscape, there is no transport path between Dev and Prod. We manually FTP transports (Cofile and data files). Could you please, guide how to create a transport with a "Smart Form" from production to dev. After searching the forum, i could find only one posting talking about opening the production system and create a transport. I can open the production system for a brief period and create a transport but i am seeking for help if any one has done this before.
I am not sure if i have to crearte temporatry transport path.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello again rk_007
on this case, you can create a 'temporary' transport route from Production to Development (temporary on the sense that you can delete it afterwards. By all means, this route is just another normal one). By doing so, you will be able to create a transport request in the Productive system, release it and import it on the other system.
You just have to go to u201CSTMS --> Overview --> Transport Routesu201D, create the route you want and distribute the new configuration. Once that the transport is done you can delete that transport request.
Do you know who to manage transport routes? It's not difficult, you need to go to STMS transaction, click on the routes button (or Shift + F7), go on 'Edit' menu, then 'Transport Route' option then 'Add Transport Route'.
You can find everything explained here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/b4a1df7acc11d1899e0000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Further and valuable information can be found here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/57/38de0c4eb711d182bf0000e829fbfe/content.htm
http://www.sap-img.com/basis/transport-request-within-same-server-different-clients.htm
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EmTech/TMSassigningclassorpackagetoroute
But there is another option where the creation of a transport route is not needed, which might fit your need (and which I believe it's the FTP option you're already using):: you can create the transport request in Productive system (from SE01) and instead of creating a Workbench transport request, create a Transport of Copies. Once that the request is created, you can add the objects you need manually and release the transport request. The datafile and cofile will be created in the data and cofile directories of the transport directory of the Productive system; now you will have to copy manually (at operating system level) the datafile and cofile of the transport request to the transport directory of the Development system, and go to u201CSTMS --> Overview --> Imports --> double click in DEV --> Extras --> Other Requests --> Addu201D to add this transport request to the import queue of DEV system. Now you will be able to import it into DEV, avoiding the creation of the transport route from PRD to DEV.

Query development Prod or Dev?

Should all query developments and changes be made in dev and then transported to prod?
Or can some development be done straight in Prod, i.e for quickness and accuracy of data testing of it is an urgently required report.
What are the best practices and pros and cons or query development in Prod?
Thanks

Refresh 11.5.4 Apps from Prod to DEV

Hi All,
I am in the procees of refreshing 11.5.4 apps + DB
from production to DEV.
Please note on production autoconfig has not been
switched on. It is also not posible to implement it
on prod, as no proper dev/test system exist to
implementing the patch (part to switch on autoconfig).
Do you have any documentaion or URL where I could get
information on - "How to refresh 11.5.4" (not via
adclone or rapid clone).
It would be much appreciated if I get a copy of the
documnetation.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards, Kunal

You could try the following
Clone the DB by recreating the control file
Modify references to the hostname and port in the configuration files and scripts
Change the profile options
Relink executables
Compile invalid objects
Check the node names from concurrent managers

Import Mappings to Prod from Dev

I exported the mappings .mdl from dev, then imported into prod. All were sucessful. The problem is the mappings icon/folder does not have anything in it.
I did the same with dims/cubes/tables/sequences/plsql transformation and they are all visible when I click the ojbect Dimensions they are all visible.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

I found them using the control center and all are Not Deployed.
I assume if I deploy then they will be visible in Design Center??

Qs

RAC clone from PROD to DEV

HI,
I wanted to know what would be the steps to clone a RAC database instance to another RAC database instance, in this case PROD RAC to DEV RAC? Are there any docs out there?
Thanks in advance

The steps are no different to clone a single instance db.
With Oracle 11g there are 2 nice new feature in Enterprise Edition which makes creation and maintaining of a development system faster and easier:
=> Use RMAN Duplicate to clone a DB without the need of a backup location
=> Use DataGuard Snapshot Standby. This allows you to open the Standby DB for development (e.g. over the day) and resync it with production (e.g. at night). This reduces the need to do the cloning every time again.
See: http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/pdf/twp_dataguard_11gr1.pdf
Regarding Pre Oracle 11:
Cloning of the DB can also be done via. RMAN duplicate (see documentation), but you will need additional space to store the backup.
See Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) under RMAN Duplicate.
Furthermore in GridControl there is a nice GUI to do this.
Hope thats helps a little

Client Copy SRM from prod to dev -Urgent

We have done the client copy and trying to change the logical system names. We are in the process of changing the SPRO-> Account Assignment -> Define G/L Account for Prod Cat and A/C Assignment Cat
We want to change the source system but it is not enabled even in change mode. Only the G/L Account is enabled for change.
We will have to change in 2 to 3 more places
How do others do when it comes to client copy and change of logical names. Use BDLS or make is it because we have some missing roles hence the field is protected?
Any help/
Thanks

Hi
This is standard SAP functionality. The table which holds the data for
"Define G/L Account for Prod Cat and A/C Assignment Cat" is BBP_DET_ACCOUNT and it holds data in similar manner.
Since other fields except the GL account, are key fields, these are not coming as enabled in change mode. There is no problem with any settings as such.
Since you want to make chnages in 2 to 3 more places(better approach using create template functionality, firstly copy the existing entries and make changes to them and finally, delete the existing extra unrequired entries in the table.
1. Either using the SPRO path
SPRO-> Account Assignment -> Define G/L Account for Prod Cat and A/C Assignment Categories
2. Or using SM30 transaction for the table - BBP_DET_ACCOUNT table
Hope this will definitely help. Do let me know.

Query running sometimes slow and sometimes fast on both prod and dev. Help

We are running a job that is behaving so inconsistently that I am ready to jump off the 19th floor. :-)
This query that goes against one table, was just coming to halt in production. After 4 days of investigation we thought it was the resource on production box. Now we have another dev box where we were also having the same issue. This box gets updated with production data everyday. There is a 3rd box. DBA ran update statistics on the 3rd box and the job was never slow there. When we updated 2nd box (dev) with statistics from th 3rd box, the job also ran fine. So we thought we know for sure that it is the statistics that we need to up. Now for business testing, the 2nd and 3rd box got updated with data and statistics from production box (the troubled one). We thought surely we will see issues on the 2nd and 3rd box, but the job was just running fine on these boxes. As I said, the 2nd box gets updated with production data everyday. After last night's refresh this job is running long on the 2nd box again. We are really puzzled. Has any one experience anything like this before?
thanks in advance.
Reaz.

We got our dba who is checking the plan when ever we run the job.
The dba is running the trace right now. Here is the trace result from the trace:
