Hyperion DRM vs EPMA

Hi,
I have not worked on either DRM or EPMA. The requirement is, we need to have a single point to manage metadata for our different Hyperion cubes.
We are thinking of implementing EPMA but not successful with deploying ASO applications using EPMA.
How useful is DRM with respect to above said requirement. Can you all EPM Gurus explain in brief?
And what are pros and cons of DRM vs EPMA?
Hyperion version: 11.1.2.1

DRM is an enterprise data manager that allows for meta data management against ERPs, DW, and Hyperion applicaitons as well as other sources. EPMA is specifically built into the Hyperion platform for managing Dimensions for Essbase, Planning, and HFM, possible HPCM, but not sure. EPMA is a direct deployment and does communicate directly with the applicaitions where as DRM has to drop a file and than the Hyperion apps have to take it in via its native automation process. DRM can provide source files to EPMA if you so desire, but it does not directly communicate with EPMA. DRM is EPMA on steroids, EPMA is just for Hyperion apps you can deploy on the EPM platform.

  • Experience with Hyperion DRM to Coherence exports.  options

    Hi All.
    I am working on a project where Hyperion DRM is feeding Oracle Coherence with the slowly changing structures such as GL accounts, budget accounts, costcenters etc.
    I am looking to find out if anyone has had experience with this type of project and particularly if anyone has resolved how to feed small changes to a version while keeping coherence online.
    Any feedback would be helpful.
    Thanks.

    Hi Agnete,
    Not sure if you are aware, but there is another forum just for DRM.

    I'd post this question there as well. You might get more responses.

  • Hyperion DRM 11.1.1.43 new install issues

    Hi,
    I'm totally new to DRM and have just installed the product. I then launched the DRM console and tried to start the server but am seeing this message in the Event Log:
    Exception in Data Relationship Management Service: EOleSysError: The server process could not be started because the configured identity is incorrect. Check the username and password
    Is this referring to the username and password to start the service? If so, I went to Services and verified the process was using a userid withAdministrative authority. Still no luck...
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
    Also... I have a question regarding the Database Settings Configuration.
    During the install I specified to have the oracle schema created and supplied the schema username and password. However on the Database Settings > Connections tab has two logins:
    mdm_system and mdm_db
    What are the default passwords for these 2 users? When I try to connect, I'm prompted for a password but always get the message... passwords do not match?
    Help? I've read the install guide but could use some help.

    Ok... I found the answer to one of my questions. The default password is "Welcome!". I did find this post....

    •     Check that you have created all the system users in W2K3 using CMD and run lusrmgr.msc. Make sure you have user ‘mdm_db’ and ‘mdm_system’ created with ability to access ‘Administrators’ group privilege. Also it’d be useful to use DRM’s default password ‘Welcome!’ for these accounts. It’s also important to deselect the need to change password on the next login, and make sure check password never expires.
    •     Go to database settings. Set engine login as ‘mdm_system’ and use the default password ‘Welcome!’. For database login use ‘mdm_db’ and ‘Welcome!’ as the password. Don’t forget to test the database connection.
    I've created the mdm_db and mdm_system users with the Administators group privilege but I am still receiving the same error.
    I have successfully connected to the database though.

  • Is there a Hyperion DRM version for Linux?

    Hi All,
    I would like to know if exists a version of Hyperion DRM for Linux.
    Another question is if the Hyperion DRM version for Windows could be installed in a Virtual Machine.
    Regards,
    Harvey

    No there is not a version for Linux. The middle tier has to run W2K3. The database layer can be in Unix etc.
    Yes I tried running DRM on VMWare works great. Not sure about other virtual software.

  • Hyperion DRM Logs off Automatically

    After a short period of time while working in Oracle Hyperion Data Relationship Management (DRM) the message below appears: 'For Security purposes, browser session left open without user activity for a certain period of time are automatically expired' Please some one help.

    To identify and correct the incorrectly assigned Application Pool in IIS 7:
    1.     Ensure no user are currently running any web applications on the DRM server
    2.     Run INETMGR
    3.     In the left hand panel expand [machine name] > Default Web site
    4.     Select DRM-Web-Client
    5.     In the right hand pane choose "Basic Settings"
    6.     Identify the Application pool field. If it displays DefaultAppPool, select drm_pool in the drop-down menu
    7.     Press OK, OK and close INETMGR
    8.     Recycle IIS by executing "IISRESET"
    Test DRM and ensure that the user session no longer times out prior to the expected Session Time. The default is 60 minutes of inactivity.

  • Hyperion DRM for Oracle Customer Hub v11.1.2.1 release?

  • Hyperion DRM Integration with fusion accounting hub.

    Hi ,
    Can you please provide how to get the Initial Load for fusion accounting hub to DRM in order to proceed with Integration with DRM and fusion hub.
    Regards,
    Madhu

    Hi Michael,
    Since this is a pretty old thread, I guess you would have been able to resolve the issue. Can you post your findings? Integrating from EBS to DRM requires that the DRM Web services API is configured and running. This could have been the issue in your case.
    Thank you,

  • Hyperion DRM SDK 11.1.1 vs. WDK 11.1.2

    We're implementing DRM 11.1.2 and will need to do some custom work.
    I've downloaded both the WDK and the SDK from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/data-relationship-management/downloads/index.html
    The WDK is at version 11.1.2 and the SDK is at 11.1.1. Is the version difference significant? I can't find anything that states whether the SDK (which uses a Java API) will continue to be supported or if Oracle is trying to move everyone to the WDK (which uses Web Services).
    Does anyone know why the SDK / Java API is still a version behind?

    Have to disagree with previous, 11.1.2 has many bugs apparently, even with the next patch due shortly, have been advised to avoid it for another 6 months. Just went from 9.3.2 to 11.1.12 with only one problem; labels no longer update in exports if you change them. Told they did this to help performance issues.

  • DRM .ads extract EPMA

    Hi,
    I'm investigating the feasibility of creating a .ads file format extract out of Oracle Hyperion DRM for loading dimensions into EPMA. As a general question has anybody actioned this in the past that could point me in right direction.
    It it just a case of myself ensuring I get the file format out of DRM correct? Is there an easy way to create the format?
    I've not used EPMA before so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    yes, we export to EPMA. You need 4 sections in your file; a header section, a member section, a parent-child section, and an alias section.
    Here is an example of our header section:

  • EPMA 11.1.2.2, EPMA Interface tables, .ADS File

    DRM Gurus!
    I'm looking for recommendations for updating EPMA with DRM. Thoughts about loading the EPMA interface tables vs using the new EPMA interface that comes with DRM 11.1.2.2 (creates the .ads file)? This client is going to have a large number of attributes... in case that matters. Recommendations are appreciated!
    Cheers!

    Use the DRM to EPMA templates to create .ADS files.  I tend to be a late adopter of new software, i.e., DRM to EPMA using the DRM Web Services API.  Wait until the bugs have been ironed out and then try the new adapter on your next gig perhaps.

  • Deployment issue with Planning & EPMA 11.1.2.0

    Hi
    I installed the following applications of Hyperion suite:
    Essbase
    EPMA
    CalcManager
    Planning
    During configuring i configured each product separately since i wanted to configure separate DB for each of them.
    The configuration went with no issues. But now when i log-in into workspace and go to Navigate, i only see administer.
    There is no option for EPMA and Planning applications.
    Did i miss any step?
    I have used IIS as my webserver because Oracle HTTP gave me some error while deploying (unable to initiate OPMN). Is it some issue with IIS
    I ahve installed my applications on Win XP SP3, IIS 5.1 and its a 32bit machine

    Did you reconfigure the web server after you finished configuring all of the products?

  • DRM Import, Action Script

    Hi All,
    I am new to Hyperion DRM 11.1.2, I am confused about concepts such as metadata and data still not able to understand difference between them. What I understand is all Versions hold is set of independent hierarchies which have nodes and their property values, which is nothing but metadata.
    Please help me understand difference between data and metadata?
    There are different task groups like Import, Action script and Migration Utility all the these are essentially used for importing metadata and data in the DRM Application.
    Migration Utility - Provides the ability to bulk load metadata and security objects in DRM applications. Other operations which can be performed in migration utility are extract and difference.
    Import- It provides a way to import data in DRM Applications, but it creates new version after import
    Action Script - Used to process a bulk set of changes in an automated fashion.
    Can anyone help me understand best case scenario for when to use which utility to import metadata and data?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Aniket

    Migration Utility: When you are trying to Export/Import Properties, Validations, Export Definitions, Import Definitions etc to an XML or from another server.
    Import: This function Imports a whole new Version once you have the load file in a specific Import format that you define.
    Blendor: The Version you imported Can be blended with the Actual current existing version
    Action Script: This is used when updating the current Hierarchies. Like Adding nodes, updating Properties etc.
