Hyperion Enterprise 6.3 API related and No MODAPPDLL parm

I am trying to utilize Hyperion Enterprise 6.3 API to connect to file based application and extract data.
I have not had much success with it. I am using 'C/C++' apis and calling EntOpenApplication() to connection to the application after I call CoInitializeEx (as suggested in the API documentation)
but I get a dialog with the following message:
No MODAPPDLL parm: OpenApp error
Based on what I could gather from the documentation of Enterprise 6.3 the following should be in the application.ini file MODAPPDLL="HEFILE"
I have checked to see that value is correct.
I am sure that somebody has been able to use the API to connect to Hyperion Enterprise, if you could share your knowledge on this it would be of great help.
I have not been able to find the right resources with regards to code samples on how to use the API. If anyone has knowledge of this, it would be great if you can pass it on to me.
I have installed Hyperion Enterprise 6.3 on Win7 (64 bit), I have been able to create a file based application and log in successfully through Hyperion Enterprise application but not able to log in when I use C/C++ API.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 to create a C++ application that will connect to Hyperion application.
Any help/pointers in this regard is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If you are sure the entity doesn't exist, trying using the purge entities feature. Go to the Entities module, from its main menu select Task->Unowned Entities and run the Unknown entities report, if the entity that is causing the problem is there, run the purge unowned entities task. Make sure you dont purge other entities that you may need.

Help on Migration from Hyperion Enterprise 6.5.0 to HFM 11.1

Hello All,
We are planning to upgrade our system from Hyperion Enterprise 6.5.0 to HFM 11.1 and would be very grateful if you can help us in answering the below questions as I am novice in Hyperion.
Current Environment:
We have one Hyperion Enterprise 6.5.0 server and Hyperion 6.5 client is installed on two Citrix servers. We use Citrix servers to publish Hyperion client which users can use to access the Hyperion application. I have been planning the Citrix upgrade for Citrix servers and due Hyperion 6.5 incompatibility with Win2008 R2, we are also planning to do Hyperion upgrade to either 6.5.1 or to HFM.
Having no knowledge on HFM, I found out that HFM is web-based application and users can access HFM application through browser unlike Hyperion 6.5 which is accessed by Hyperion client.
I have following question if you can help me, please:
1. Do we need any client to access HFM or all the feature are web based?
2. If it is web-based, do we need any web-server or IIS can be used to provide access to HFM application to users?
3. How many servers (application, web-server, database server etc) would be suffice for 270 users, any estimate?
My questions might be very dumb for this forum but, I would really appreciate and thank any kind of help provided.
Thanks,
Rajneesh

You should not proceed without expertise in HFM. The installation and configuration requires a much greater technical knowledge and support than Hyperion Enterprise does. Also, you should not perform a straight migration of Hyperion Enterprise to HFM since you have to consider the differences in dimensionality. I recommend you engage someone who has already done such a migration and has good experience with HFM.

Hyperion Enterprise 6.4 Financial Reporting upgrade path

We are currently using Hyperion Enterprise 6.4 Financial Reporting and would like to know what the upgrade path is to the most recent version.
What is the most recent version and can our current version be upgraded directly to it, or will the latest version need to be installed on the same server or a different server?
Let me know.
Thanks.

The latest version for Financial Reporting available is EPM 11.1.2.2.
You may need to migrate first to 9.3.3 or 11.1.3.3 and then move to 11.1.2.2 which is the upgrade path.
You could refer the documentation for 11.1.2.2 in the following link : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/nav/portal_1.htm
For 9.3.x : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10530_01/welcome.html
For 11.1.1.x : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/index.htm
Hope this helps...

Essbase & Hyperion Enterprise API

Is there anyone out there that has done extensive calls to Essbase or to Hyperion Enterprise 5.5 using API?Has anyone developed an application that does outline maintenance outside of Application manager? We have a very manual process since we do not pull everything out of enterprise and make that part of our outline dynamically through like a load rule. We bring all the accounts into a dimension and then drag them to where they need to go.Any Help would be appreciated.Paul [email protected]

Hyperion Enterprise VB API : Entdatafileopen sub

Hi there,I have a question regarding the use of the EntDataFileOpen function in VB for the Hyperion Enterprise product.I don't really know what tables I should select prior to calling this function.The documentation that I have says "This function selects the Datafile table for a specified entity, account, and parent.This function must be used for each category, entity, account set combination."How do you select an account set ?Thanks a lot,V.Q

It turns out that this was not working because it was running from a machine that had a different version of the Essbase Client than the Essbase server. When i changed this it worked.

Hyperion Enterprise 6.0.2 and virus scanners

Hello together,
next month our IT-Department will change the virus scanners at our hyperion enterprise server.
Can someone please tell me what we need to consider?
May be some files are not scanned? Specially configurations?
For your help in advance thank you.
Greetings from
Martin

Hi Martin,
Please check the below mentioned Knowledge article found on Oracle knoweledge base.
Hyperion Enterprise: List of Settings and Recommendations to Avoid Corruption (Doc ID 588620.1)
Seems that you are in very old version of Enterprise. Download the latest version 6.5.1.1 (Maintenance Release) a full installation could be performed though, which comes with Backup utility and Enterprise Extraction utility where you could convert or migrate the Enterprise application to HFM application.
Below are the links where you could find the documentation.

Hope this helps,

Hi,Can anyone tell me whether we can establish a connection between a Front-end application (Java,J2EE) and Hyperion Enterprise database?

Hyperion Enterprise client and server version

All,
We are using Hyperion Enterprise version 6.1 for a long time and currently it supports and works fine on windows 2000 server. We are planning to move to HFM shortly but in the meantime i wanted to see if there is a version out there between 6.1 and 6.5 that will enable us to install client on "xp" and still talk to version 6.1 on the server?
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Srikanth

Rk,
Thank you for the response. Do you happen to know which version of Hyperion retrieve on the client side works with xp and still be able to talk to version 6.1 on the server side. I looked into the version 6.5 and it does not support version 6.1 on the server side.
Also, where can i find the installs for older version i looked in the edelivery site and have not been successful.
Thanks again,
Srikanth

Best practice to extract data from Hyperion Enterprise 5.5

We are looking into extracting high-level data from our Hyperion Enterprise 5.5 and am in the process of researching what are the best practices to do that. I am reading the docs for the APIs that I can call from VB6. I am also interested if there are available Java APIs out there.Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays to everyone!Angelito [email protected]

The easiest is using HAL (Hyperion Application Link). I have used HAL to extract data, organizations, account, subs, entities, etc.

Hyperion Enterprise version???

Hello Frndz,
What is exact version of Hyperion Enterprise??
Im very new to HFM side and I need to migrate Hyperion Enterprise to HFM 9.x ...so ,could you please help me out in this by providing any suggestions or related links,posts etc.,
Thanks.

hi
i am also very new to hfm, as per my knowledge i am giving some information whatever i know. This information may be useful for you.
The exact version of hyperion enterprise is "4.0".
The "Hyperion Enterprise" is having some limitations like "Dimensionality Limitations", "Multiuser Scalability Limitations", "Budgeting and Planning Limitations" etc...
The Hyperion Enterprise is having lot of limitaions eventhough many companies are using hyperion enterprise only becoz of flexibility. These limitations are overcome in Hyperion Financial management 9.3.1.
So I am not having sufficient knowledge on these limitations. I am providing one link of a pdf which is having sufficient information regarding why should we migrate from hyperion enterprise to hfm 9.x.
This doc will be useful to you.

Hyperion Enterprise Web Server - Error 406

Hi,
The problem occurs when trying to activate the Hyperion Enterprise webserver from the Server Administration. The error message displays "HTTP 406 error".
We have tried many things including a full reinstall but have not managed to find a solution or pin point what's causing the problem.
Has anybody experienced this issue before or have any suggestions as to why this is happening.
Thanks

Does anyone have a solution to this error? We are seeing the same.
The Web service is running fine and we can try to enable the application from either Server Administration application or selecting application setup from the web login screen.
The Server Admin application returns the error HTTP 406 : The resource cannot be displayed. When trying to enable the application for web access.
The Web server application setup shows no applications within the application dropdown selection control.
Tried using alternative applications, all of which appear to working perfectly OK other than not being web enabled.
