Hyperion Provider Services Connectivity to the Essbase Server

Hi All,
I have seen a new issue in Epm 11.1.2 Issue is
I have installed my provider services services are now up and running in port 13080
Now when Iam trying to connect thru smartview Iam using following URL
http://Servername:13080/aps/SmartView
When Iam going thru the new connection creation process
Step 1 when I give the URL and click on the next its shows up next page.
In this page basically I have to select the server and the application.
But here in my case server and application doesnt show up its BLANK.
I have checked from my browser provider services shows up perfectly
Have anyone faced this issue let me know your ideas
Thanks,
KRK

Sorry for the delay in the response I have installed this on a single server but it was the issue with datasources.xml file
Below are the steps to resolve the issue.
1. stop APS
2. Go to http://<machine>:19000/interop
3. Expand Application group->Foundation->Deployment Metadata->Shared Services Registry->Essbase-> And locate APS LWA
4. Right click on datasources.xml file and “Export for Edit”
5. Save the datasources.xml file and not open it.
6. Open with notepad and make changes so that essbase server name is listed like below:
etc...I think your reference above to Go to http://<machine>:*19000*/interop should be changed to Go to http://<machine>:*28080*/interop for shared services.
In looking at this I could not find the datasources.xml file reference following your outline.

Unable to connect to the Essbase server from Admin console

Hi,
I have installed Essbase Server 9.3, Client 9.3 and Administration Server 9.3 in my laptop.
The Essbase server is working fine. I am able to see all the sample applications from Excel add in. (This mean client is also working fine).
But, the problem is when i try to connect to the Essbase server, its not allowing me by producing an error:
"Unable to connect to the Essbase server please check the user name & password"
username: admin
password; password.
i tried several times...but its not working.
Please advise me.
FYI, The admin server service is started already.

Hi Subrahmanyam,
Here , there are 2 things
1. Check, your essbase server is up and running ,and your admin service is up. Now , when you open the 'essbase admin console ' , provide user name and password as
admin
password
2. After you are connected to the console i.e admin console .
You see
enterprise view -> essbase analytic server -> under this , you might see your host name ( i.e of your laptop).
This host is your essbase server , and if you want to connect to it .Provide 'username' and 'password' ,which you have give after your essbase installation
So, conclusively, here we are dealing with 2 different sets of 'username' and 'passwords'
In step 1-> to connect to console , use 'admin' 'password'
In step 2-> to connect ot essbase server, use the credentials wchih you had given after installation of essbase server
Hope this clarifies you, as this is a lil confusion to many

Pls help!

If you are installing on Windows, there is a limitation in the default configuration of TCPIP. I wrote about it, and included the steps to fix it, on my blog at http://timtows-hyperion-blog.blogspot.com/2007/12/essbase-api-error-fix-geeky.html.
Note the error number you reported is slightly different than what I write about in the blog, but I believe I have seen this error fixed by the blog steps..

Planning Webforms not connecting to the Essbase

Hi,
When the user is trying to connect to the Webforms, below error is showing up. Same issue occured yesterday, I restarted the Essbase Server and it resolved the issue.
A substitution variable required for this calculation is undefined. Variable: CurYr
Today, I recycled all the services but still not able to connect to Essbase through Planning. And I am also not able to connect to the Essbase Server through EAS Console , I am through with this id but when clicking on the Essbase Server node, it throwing out error as "Invalid Login Credentials". I am using same user id for planning and Essbase, planning is working fine but not for Essbase
Can you please advise on this issue.
Thanks for your help in Advance.
Regards,
UB

Hi,
Could someone have changed Essbase password without you knowing? The fact that you are able to login to EAS and Planning doesn't necessarily mean you can connect to Essbase with the same credentials for granted. I suggest you run Essbase in command shell (Programs->Oracle EPM->Essbase->Essbase Server->Essbase or Start->Run Type Essbase). It should show you whether there is a problem with the password or not.
One more possibility could be that your essbase server might not be starting properly at all even though services console shows you that it does. You can see what the root cause to this problem in Essbase shell.
Cheers,
Alp

Could not connect to the OLAP server web analysis hyperion

I created a document report in Web Analysis with an administrator user then I created a user in the shared services console and granted him access to the report, but entering with this user I can access the report, but receive the following error message: Could not connect to the OLAP server web analysis hyperion.

Is the user having correct provisioning in Essbase? Which version? (older versions, you'll have to synchronize Essbase with HSS)

Are there any shortcuts to connecting the printer with web services and/or the eprint server?

(HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, IE, Windows 7)
As I am unable to execute the instructions given by
by Ryamond 1411, I'm looking for other avenues to connect my printer to web services and/or
the eprint server so I can release 4 emails for printout now stuck in que.

Hello MurrayJ,
The first thing I would do is follow step six in this document to set a static IP: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02817031&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=4023246&tmp...
When it askes for DNS information, enter in Google's DNS. Preferred DNS = 8.8.8.8 Alt DNS = 8.8.4.4
If that does not help, if you could provide me with the following information it would help me out. First, who is your ISP( Internet Service Provider, i.e. Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, ect.)? Second, who is the maker of your router? Lastly, what is the model number and firmware version of your router?

Automating Essbase clustering using Hyperion Provider Services

Hi
I am testing Essbase clustering using Hyperion Provider Services for high availability of cubes. I have created an Essbase cluster and added cubes to it using EAS. Since cubes get update during interday, I want to add/remove cubes from the cluster. I could do this process manually in EAS but prefer if I can automate this process. I was told that I could use either JAVA APIs (prefer) or XMLA to automate adding & removing cubes to/from the Essbase cluster. Unfortunately, I cannot find any documentation that mentions the names of the JAVA APIs that I should call to succeed this process. Could anybody help me please?
Regards
Chandra

Hi,
Assuming you are on V11 then if you have a look in \Hyperion\products\Essbase\aps\samples\japi and there is java example of creating clusters :- CreateCluster.java
Java API docs available in \Hyperion\products\Essbase\aps\docs\japistart.htm
If you are on an earlier version then the directory structure will be a little different.

We are using the Azure server for our web services. Server is generating an error "Unable to connect to the remote server". What is this error means

Hello,
Did you means that you use the Windows Azure Virtual Machine DNS name as the server name in the Reporting Server Web Services URL?
For example:
Report server:http://uebi.cloudapp.net/reportserver
Report manager:http://uebi.cloudapp.net/reports
If you want to connect to Report Manager on the virtual machine from a remote computer, you should create a virtual machine TCP Endpoint and open the port in the virtual machine’s firewall. By default, the report server listens for HTTP requests
on port 80.

Could not connect to the GSM Server

Hi,
I am trying to login to Financial Reporting Studio but I get the error dialog box-
*"Could not connect to the GSM Server <servername>:6800"*
Before starting the studio, I even started Essbase. Even the BI+ reporting service is started..
Do I have to configure anything..?
Please let me know
Thanks,

On the client side there IS a minor configuration step for Financial Reporting but I doubt it's causing your issue:
Start | Programs | Foundation Services | Configuration Utility | Hyperion Reporting and Analysis | Configure Financial Reporting
The only time I've gotten the GSM error you have was when I changed my SQLServer from 2000 to 2005 which also changed the default SQLServer port in the process (on a Dev box) and was never able to resolve it to get it to recognize the GSM again so I had to re-do all the installs.
Is this a new install? what version? Can you tell us more about your Hyperion and RDBMS environment?
Good luck,
Karen

Error Message: The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version. The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.

I have a web page that contains a ReportViewer control. I am trying to display a report, which is an .rdl file located on the SSRS server, in this ReportViewer control. I have set the ReportPath and ReportServerUrl correctly. I am
getting an error message.
Am I suppose to use an .rdlc file rather than a .rdl file? Does the web server configuration need to use a certain account?
I am getting the following error message:
The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version.
The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.

Hi bucaroov,
The error "The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found." means the ReportServerURL configured in the ReportViewer control is invalid.
Please follow these steps to solve the issue:
Logon the Report Server machine.
Open the Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
Copy the Report Server URL from 'Web Services URL'.
Logon the application server(in this case, it is the server that host the web page), check if we can use the URL we got from step 3 to access the Report Server. If so, please replace the ReportServerURL in the ReportViewer control with this URL. If it is
not available, could you please post the error message.
Additionaly, we don't need to provide the extension for a server report. The ReportPath should be like: /<reports folder>/<report name>
For more information, please see:

Hi Sagar,
First, please check if the RAM is exhausted. When there is not enough RAM, this issue may occurs.
Please try to run iisreset on the WSUS server, then try to reconnect.
Also, please try to run the server cleanup wizard to remove the unused update.

Server cleanup wizard problem - unable to connect to the WSUS Server Database.

I'm trying to run server cleanup wizard.. it starts to run and then after a while it gives me this error:
The WSUS administration console was unable to connect to the WSUS Server Database.
Verify that SQL server is running on the WSUS Server. If the problem persists, try restarting SQL.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException -- Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
The statement has been terminated.

Some questions:
Are there any other databases running on this Std Edition SQL service?
[a] Yes there are, we have Kaspersky enterprise DB, Report Server DB and local application DB.
Are there any other services running on this WSUS Server?
[b] Yes there are, we have Active Directory, Kaspersky enterprise, SQL Server 2005, and WSUS all on the same server.
How many days since your WSUS server was first installed?
[c] It's been about a year now.
What is the physical size of the SUSDB.mdf file?
[d] 9,666,752 KB
What is the hardware configuration of this machine, including disk drives?
[e] Intel Xeon 1.86, 2GB Ram, HD C: 39GB - E: 25.2, running Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2.
How many client systems are you servicing from this WSUS Server?
[f] Around 40.
What products/classifications are you synchronizing.
[g] Windows XP-vista, Windows Server 2003, Office 2003-2007, SQL Server 2005.
Okay, for starters, you have an underpowered/overextended machine running Active Directory, ASP.NET, and a database server, all on a sub 2GHz CPU with 2GB RAM, and not enough disk spindles. The machine has had WSUS running for about a year and is 9GB in size.
There's no doubt in my mind that some of your performance issues are directly related to disk and database fragmentation.
There's also no doubt that some of your performance issues are directly related to memory starvation.
I'd suggest the following long-term fixes:
1. Get a second machine. Make it a dedicated database server. Provision it accordingly to support servicing multiple database applications.
2. Lacking #1, this machine needs more memory. It also needs more disk spindles. At a minimum the databases being serviced should be on a dedicated physical drive; ideally there would be two dedicated drives allocated for supporting database services. The
For the short-term fixes, do this:
1. During after-hours time, if you don't already have one, build a temporary machine that can act as a DC/GC, while you take this machine temporarily offline.
1. Shutdown the Update Services service, SQL Server database engine, and any other services dependent on the SQL Server database engine (Kapersky, and other reporting applications). Disconnect from the network to temporarly eliminate DC traffic. (You could also shutdown the AD services, but disconnecting the network cable is ever-so-much easier.) Defragment ALL drives.
2. Restart ONLY the SQL Server service. Obtain this SQL script to Reindex the WSUS Databases.
3. Restart ONLY the Update Services service. Attempt the Server Cleanup Wizard again. Run it in two passes. Pass 1 performing everything except remove unused updates. Pass 2 running only remove unused updates.
4. After completion of the Server Cleanup Wizard, reconnect the machine to the network and resume all other services.
5. If you're able to complete #3, secure the services of a well-qualified DBA to determine if there are any misconfigurations in your SQL Server setup that would account for why your WSUS database is 9GB in size -- such as improperly configured autogrowth parameters. Based on the products you're updating and only forty clients, 9GB is about 3x the maximum size I would expect to see in a WSUS database. It's possible this is simply caused by excess unused updates, it's possible it's caused by fragmentation, it's probable it was caused by unnecessary autogrowth of the database due to insufficient update maintenance. You'll want a DBA to assist you in shrinking that database after you successfully run the Database Maintenance and Server Cleanup Wizard.
