Hyperion Planning hypadmin password change?

Experts and or knowledgeable hyperionites,
I am being asked to reset the Hypadmin password for our Hyperion Planning system. I am new to Hyperion and baffled at where to even start. Can anyone help in finding all the locations where this password might be and what changing the password will do? Even if all you can provide is a few steps or point in the right direction I would be most appreciative of your assistance.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi CJ
Changing password is simple but do evaluate the impact. You need to update password everywhere in your ODI packages, Backup scripts or any other automaiton if you have used. We have faced this issue , once we changed the admin password and updated everywhere only EAS was not able to authenticate the admin user account.
update CSS_USERS set PASSWORD= '{SSH2}mpQoG4jU00otFocLZM6CWWUzpk9ZmSY5In3l3ZzFCH5byRhkG6ow7z4KxXmXWXSo' where name='admin';
This will setup the admin users password to ‘password'

Help! Hyperion Planning Dimension formula no longer works after name change

Hi,
I am having an issue with Hyperion Planning. I recently changed an account's dimension name from ASales & Property Taxes (D) to AProperty Taxes (D). However, the original name was used in a formula of another account. When I ran my refresh I got the following error:
Error [1200354] detected in member formula for member "AFacilities Costs as a % of Revenue".
So I went into planning and went to the referenced account and looked at the formula. The formula still had the old member name ASales & Property Taxes (D) so I changed the formula to the new name AProperty Taxes (D). However, when I went to validate the formula I got the following error message:
Error compiling formula for [] (line 1): expected type [NUMBER] found [STRING] (["ASales & Property Taxes (D)"]) in function []
However, my formula has the new name not the old name. Here is my formula:
("AMaintenance (D)" + "AMaintenance (SG&A)" + "ANon Cap Equipment & Rentals (D)" + "ANon Cap Equipment & Rentals (SG&A)" + "AOperating Leases (D)" + "AOperating Leases (SG&A)" + "ARent & Occupancy Costs (D)" + "ARent & Occupancy Costs (SG&A)" + "AProperty Taxes (D)" + "AProperty Taxes (SG&A)" + "ASecurity (D)" + "ASecurity (SG&A)" + "AInsurance (D)" + "AInsurance (SG&A)")/ARevenue;
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Please help, as a result of this issue none of my accounts or clients are getting pulled into the Balance Sheet causing it to not tie with Oracle :( Thanks!!

Hi,
What happens if you try and refresh with updating the formula to reference the correct name?
You won't be able to validate the formula because the member does not yet exist in essbase until the refresh has completed.
If you have problems you could always, remove the formula and store it, refresh so the new member gets created, then put the formula back and refresh again.
Cheers

Hyperion Planning form change not flowing through to Smart View

Hyperion Planning 11.1.2 and Smaer View 11.1.2.
I have a user that installed SV yesterday but has been using planning for years. I made a change on his planning form (just added an account) and he does not see this change in smart view. However, he does see the change when logged into Hyperion Planning in his form.
One strange thing about this is the change shows for all hierarchies except for ones that he has loaded data to. So, for a hierarchy that has no data, it shows the form in SV how it is in planning. If he loads data to the hier, the form automatically switches back to how it was before the change, even when the planning form itself hasn't been changed.
Here is what we have tried:
Rebooted machine
removed user security completely from plannng and added back
checked for ghost instance in task manager or excel
Opened new Workbook and opened form fresh
remvoed connection, closed excel and all instances, new connection and open form fro mblank slate
Nothing seems to be working. And I see the form how it is in planning. HE does not, he sees it the "old way" and ony for hier points that have data submitted to them. So, literally switches the view based on the POV.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Sounds like in the smart list set up you set "#Missing Data Form Label:" to "Data Form Setting" change it to "Drop Down Setting" and it should be alright.

Invalid username/password; logon denied in Hyperion Planning

Hi Folks,
We are running hyperion planning 9.3.1 with essbase and the planning application running on two separate servers. Today I tried deploying an application but it would abort the deployment after giving the 550 error. On looking through the logs I found that the server_messages_UsageService.log in the <hyperion home> \ logs \ BI Plus directory is growing in size like anything. It grew up from a few KB in size to a GB in a few hours.
The error that keeps repeating itself in the file is as follows:

Making Changes in Essbase & Hyperion Planning

when we make changes in Hyperion Planning Application they show changes in Essbase Application also but When we make changes in Essbase Application It does not show changes in Hyperion Planning Application. Why?

Any changes you want to make to the Essbase database for Hyperion Planning must be done through the Planning app. Otherwise direct changes made on the Essbase side will be erase upon the refresh.^^^Not strictly true -- the Essbase UDA_HSP allows Essbase-only properties without reference to Planning. This is the way Planning worked till System 9. You can still use this UDA in Planning -- I used it in Planning just last week for a Scenario member calculation that referenced members in only one Plan Type out of three. It is a pain in the rear and impossible to resolve in Planning member formulas themselves.

Hyperion servers password changes impact ?

Hi all,
We have Hyperion tools on distributed enviornment.
As part of process, we are supposed to change the server Account Administrator password. We have used the same account across servers during configuration of Hyperion products.
Will changing of password of Administrator account have any impact?
Also, changing passwords for database/web server accounts which were used during configuration have any impact?
Thanks for looking into this.

Thanks John for your response, I meant the Windows account which was used for installation.
JohnGoodwin wrote:
Are you talking about the windows account you used to install hyperion? if so it depends where the password has been used if it is just for the install then you should be alright.What do you mean by, 'depends where the password has been used'. Which all places can windows account be used during configuration?

Changing dimension types in Hyperion Planning

I have a Planning 11.1.1.3 application and I would like to change the dimension type of a dimension. Dimension Customer is the one that has the country type now but it needs to be changed as dimension Product is the one that now need the country type, leaving Customer without a type. Is there a way of changing the type without having to delete all the data forms, deleting the members, changing the dimension names and the reloading the metadata to the correct dimension? I tried changing the type via Essbase but as soon as I refresh the application, the types change as they are in Planning (expected) and I can't seem to find a way of changing the type in Planning without having to rebuild part of the application! Thanks in advance for your replies.
Santiago Ruiz.

Hi,
The utility is case sensitive, in your parameters you have put /S:PLAN but in your copyapp.properties you have lowercase plan_
so the utility is looking for PLAN_JDBC_DATABASE_TYPE and won't find it because you have plan_JDBC_DATABASE_TYPE
either change the parameter or the properties file to match

Rahul,
As John pointed out, copyapp may be available between different versions of planning but is not compatible between different versions of the software. When a copyapp command runs, it connects to shared services, planning and essbase data sources and basically performs an export and import of data. It works on the premise that structure for export is same as structure for import. However, the underlying architecture for shared services (moving away from openldap) and planning tables, essbase (security outside .sec file) has changed and there you cannot just export and import between different versions of software.

Hyperion Planning Upgrade from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2

Hyperion Planning Upgrade from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2
So far I have done the following 3 steps:
1. I have successfully installed and configured Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.2 in a new Server. (Windows Server 2008 R2).
2. I have created a blank classic Planning Application in 11.1.2.2.
3. I have copied the relational database from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2
Could you please let me know the next steps to perform the upgrade?
Should I use the Migrate Button in the Hyperion Planning Webpage or use the option in the EPM System Configurator "Upgrade existing database to the current release from 11.1.1.3". Please advise.
Note : A native User is the owner of the Planning Application in 11.1.1.3 and hence I made the same in 11.1.2.2 also.
Also, please let me know if I need to migrate the shared services security and convert the HBRs to Calc Manger rules first before upgrading the Planning Application.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks John for your quick response.
Yes, I have performed a clean install and then going for upgrading the existing Planning Application.
The Application owner in both the source and target Applications is a native user named hypadmin (not the default admin user). Do you want me to change the owner to default admin user, or the user hypadmin is ok to go with?
Please advise.
Also, is there any specific order I need to follow for migrating the below components?
1. Shared Services Security
2. HBRs to Calc Manger Rules
3. Existing Planning Application Upgrade

Error WHile creating a User in Hyperion Planning

HI,
Please someone guide since im facing this problem for a longtime.
I created a user in Planning webpage and refreshed the security filters.
When i tried to login using planning webinterface, it showed an error "User priscila_monsanto does not exist in the domain or the password is incorrect"
And i could able to find an exception in the file"Hyperion Planning-err.log" present in Jrun path of the planning server.
And when i logged into the admin console for the plannng cube, i found user anme in the security-->users field and there is no filters assigned to the user.
Please help me.

at com.thortech.xl.adapterGlue.ScheduleItemEvents.adpADDUSERTOADGROUP.implementation(adpADDUSERTOADGROUP.java:49)
This is definitely a Custom Adapter because OOTB Adapter name is adpADCSADDUSERTOGROUP and NOT adpADDUSERTOADGROUP
So, it is your custom code and in the code you are passing incorrect value of the Active Directory Child process form...
The correct name is UD_ADUSRC and the Group Name column name is UD_ADUSRC_GROUPNAME.
While you are passing UD_AD_CHILD as the child process form and UD_AD_CHILD_GRP_NAME as Group Name column name..
Use OOTB Adapter... Correct these discrepancies... Your addition of group will work
And since you are creating custom adapter, you need to be more careful and remain consistent throughout..
Then if you want to use UD_AD_CHILD_GRP_NAME, use it everywhere consistently... Pass only this value in the adapter...
And even in lookups, if any... Search everywhere... Keep things consistent... They will work... Because good news is that you are able to create user in AD via Java Code...
And if any post is even slightly helpful, it is a good habit to mark it with helpful or correct ... And also mark the entire question as answered so that other people also are benefited.

Outlook 2013 - Password change breaks S/MIME Certs "An error occurred in the underlying security system. Key not valid for us in specified state."

AD password change comes up, user changes password.
Tries to send signed or encrypted email with a Comodo S/MIME certificate, and gets the following error:
""An error occurred in the underlying security system. Key not valid for us in specified state."
I now have two reports of this error - one on Windows 7, and one on Windows 8.0 (remote user).
The one on Windows 8.0, we tried removing their S/MIME cert from Outlook/Windows and re-adding, this did NOT resolve the issue.
Plan was originally to have the 8.0 user ship their machine in, and wipe it, since nothing else could fix it and I wasn't finding anyone else with the same issue. Now that I've got a second user with the same issue, its looking like a bug/issue and
not a random glitch.
Thanks in advance for any and all help with this!

Hyperion Planning Classic vs. BPMA 9.3

Hi,
We are on Hyperion Planning 9.3 (including all latest patches). We are in the process of building a new Planning application. Currently we donot have an ETL tool and it doesnt seem we will get one for the next few months until our new Planning application is deployed into production. So in a nutshell we wont have an ETL to solve the below problem.
I have used Planning Classic along with an ETL tool to build my meta-data in past implementations, and havent had a chance to use BPMA. Lately I have started getting aquinted with BPMA and understand some of its advantages. However, I still have a few specific questions;
1. I know Planning Classic allows manual creation of members, does BPMA allow the same? Or does BPMA have to have flat file or interface table to create or add members? Our business users would be manually creating some members, or for instance change the start or end month of a 'Scenario'. So, does BPMA allow manual editing and pushing of meta-data?
2. If an application is created via BPMA, they would have to interface via BPMA and not Planning Classic anymore. Is that true?
3. I understand it is possible to convert a Planning Classic application into BPMA but "NOT" vice versa. Is this true?
4. Finally, a more difficult question, a more specific question which kinda of dictates the choice for us.
My client would like individual departments do their respective budgeting (noting unusual there). However, most of these departments budget per 'Project' and more specifically like to budget based on 'Project Name' (which are unique and not generic) as opposed to 'Project Numbers' (there isnt a Project number standardization as such yet). The challenge is getting the 'Project Names' into Hyperion Planning (sadly it doesnt exist in ERP/GL yet because these are new projects).
So, though the Finance Team ultimately approves each department's budget, they would like each department be able to create their respective 'Project Names' in Hyperion Planning. And Planning capabilities like supporting detail, etc wouldnt work as they would like variance based on 'Project Names' and be able to slice-n-dice based on 'Project Names'.
Now if we had an ETL tool the above would have been simple, I would have just created an automation to say pick-up a file with 'Project Names' from a pre-determined folder location. However, because we donot have an ETL, I was wondering if BPMA could do the same, i.e., automatically pick-up a file from a folder and create members and refresh Hyperion Planning? Could the 'Batch Processing' in BPMA handle this?
Appreciate all your responses...

Hi,
First of all I wouldn't recommend using EPMA until version 11, 9.3.1 was riddled with issues.
To try and answer some of your questions
1. You can manually maintain members in EPMA if you choose to do so, you need to push it down to planning/essbase if you do make changes.
2. If the planning app is in EPMA mode then you can't edit/add/delete member information through the classic route, you can view. You still can design forms, task lists etc through planning web.
3. It is possible but no you are not meant to.
Sounds like you could do with ODI it would make your life easier, are you sure you are not licensed to use it, you may be entitled to use it.
Cheers

How to lock data independently for several groups in Hyperion Planning?

I 'm developing a forecast application using Hyperion Planning 9.3.1 where the users shall be able to enter their monthly forecast numbers. We have two groups of users. Each group may have up to two forecast updates per month. The groups are independent – say, Group A may have one update for August and they want the numbers to be there by August 10th, while the Group B may have two updates for the same month with the first update to be completed by July 20th and second – by August 5th. Nobody knows in advance how many updates they are going to have for the month and when they are going to have them. Nothing should prohibit the users from updating their forecast numbers for the future months – say, they may enter their September forecast in July.
Managers of both groups want to make sure that users don't change forecast numbers after the month close. If they plan to have two updates per month – they want data from the 1st update to be locked (become read-only) before they have 2nd update, and data from 2nd update locked after the month close; if they plan to have only one update per month – they want it locked after the month close.
Any suggestions how I may structure the dimensions of this application to make sure that if I lock first August update for Group B on, say, August 3rd, the other group still can have it open until August 10th?
Thanks!

Hi John
Well i have working knowledge in ODI, i did whole complete cycle and i did customization project for Oracle EBS to Data warehouse though ODI.
What, I am NOT able to figure out How to LINK Hyperion Planning Outline to Oracle EBS HR Tables. cause in Hyperion Outline i m able to view Dimensions Not particular Column to map with EBS HR Table (column).
Eample:
In EBS HR we have Employee Number in Per_all_people_f but in Hyperion Planning Dimension is ONLY Employee.
Your response highly appreciated.

How can I delete only shared instance of a member from Hyperion Planning

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how I can instruct the Hyperion Planning IKM to delete a only specific instance of a shared member from Hyperion Planning? I've tried specifying the shared member, the parent of the shared instance, 'Shared' as the data storage type, and 'Delete level 0' as the operation. Instead of deleting just the shared instance under the specified parent, however, the IKM deleted the base member, which in turn deleted all shared instances of the member and all the data for the member (lucky thing I'm working in a development environment!). At one point I thought I had things working as I wanted, but now I think I must have mistaken.
Does anyone know definitively whether only a specific instance of a shared member can be deleted from Planning and, if so, exactly how to do it?
Thanks very much.

Well, with a careful review of my ODI interfaces and some additional testing I found my problem. My interface for one dimension was defined exactly as it should be and it worked as expected, whereas I found I had failed to activate the mapping for the data storage property in my interface for another dimension (DOH!). Naturally, the latter interface deleted the base member because the default data storage property value is 'Store'.
Thanks for testing and confirming that deleting only a specific shared instance of a member from Hyperion Planning does work, John.
(P.S. to John: I can't see how to change my "Helpful" tag on your first reply to "Correct", so if you want to post another reply, I'll mark it "Correct" (for more points!). Or, if you can tell me how to modify the "Helpful" tag to "Correct" I'll do that instead.)
