InstallTool.sh error on Essbase 11.1.1.3 on AIX 6.1

We received a new replacement server and it has AIX 6.1 running. The old server is AIX 5.3. I copied the install directory over to the new machine, edited the installTool.sh to put the new path in, and tried running installTool.sh -console. After you put all the inputs in it's supposed to start the install, but instead it produces the error below and does not create log files. Any help would be appreciated.
The features being installed are listed above. Click Next to begin the installations.

Hi Daniel,
Can you do this manually?
By Creating New Database in the Physical Layer and there in the Database Type selecting Essbase 11. Try this way and let us know the output.
Mark if helps,

ERROR - 1051417 - Essbase Application Existence Check Fails against..

Hi
Our backup routine copies our Essbase databases to a seperate application. First, it drops the target app before rebuilding it.
But in our Test environment (11.1.1.3) this step fails with the following error:
+ERROR - 1051417 - Essbase Application Existence Check Fails agaainst the Shared Services Server with Error [Local ID is required.]+
Any ideas what that is about ?
Cheers

From the log
Error establishing socket to host and port: chandan:1433. Reason: Connection refused: connect
The SQL server itself is not running or TCP/IP is disabled. That can be confirmed by runing netstat and see it is listed there.
Then run telnet chandan 1433 and see it can connect

Frequent Invalid Credential login Error to Essbase Server

We have noticed frequently invalid credentials error with Essbase Server login via Smart View or Classic Add-In.
Some interesting facts, on invalid credential error:
1) We can login using native Essbase Security as Admin.
2) Can login into Shared services via MSAD acct.
3) Work-space login is also functional.
4) Can pull MSAD user ID and accounts from Shared services.
5) EPMCSS-00301 from shared services log.
6) Issue will only be fixed if Essbase only service is recycled.
I am pretty sure MSAD config is not the issue as other components are working upon this error and we have to recycle Essbase only service.
Any input is appreciated. There is no issue with "user Id" or "PWD"
Nothing prudent from the logs as i scrubbed.

HI John
Issue occurs in EPM 11.1.2.1.106 Version of 64 Bit Essbase Server.
Yes we can log in with Native accounts when issue occurs, just MSAD doesn't work with Essbase.
Workspace, Shared services does work (Smart View & Classic Add-in doesn't work)
We have to restart Essbase only Service for it to allow login's.
I have tried setting and using enhanced login via Essbase config.
LOGINFAILUREMESSAGEDETAILED
AGENTLOGMESSAGELEVEL DEBUG.
AD groups are set via config filter but we use native groups assigning MSAD users to Native Shared services groups created.
Please review and advice.
Not much Information form logs apart from EPMCSS-00301 which is generic error. Not sure whats trigerring Essbase (MASD) security to fail and had to restart service.

Was this issue ever fixed? I am getting a similar error. I am installing essbase 11.1.2 on RHEL 5 64-bit. I have unzipped the 4 foundation services binaries (V20815-01.zip, V20816-01.zip, V20817-01.zip, V20802-01.zip), the EPM installer (V20847-01.zip) along with EPM Additional content (V20843-01.zip) and the 2 Essbase zip files (V20783-01.zip and V20787-01.zip) and kept them /export/softstage.
I am trying to run .installTool.sh -record ess.rsp and I am getting the following error:
# ./installTool.sh -record ess.rsp
./installTool.sh: line 60: java: command not found
I re-downloaded all the zip files from edelivery and re-unzipped them. But still the same error.. Looks like I am missing some files or some kind of Java library..
Any pointers?

Error Extracting Essbase Product Dimension to a Flat File

I am new to ODI and do not know how to troubleshoot this issue.
I am trying to extract an Essbase Dimension (Product) to a Flat File.
The source is Essbase Product and the Flat File is the Target. The target file is .csv.
I have the fields to execute on Staging Area.
When I click apply, I get an error stating: Target/Staging Area: You must set a IKM for the target.
In the IKM folder I have the following:
IKM SQL to File Append
IKM SQL Hyperion Essbase (DATA)
IKM SQL Hyperion Essbase (METADATA)
I appreciate any help you can offer.

Follow this and you should be able to get an interface to extract metadata from essbase - http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/2008/10/odi-series-essbase-outline-extractor.html

Data load errors in Essbase

I am attempting to load our data pulled from our HFM application into Essbase. I keep getting "data value encountered before all dimensions selected" error. I have checked the load file line by line and the rule everything lines up correctly from the file to the rule. We have recently migrated our Planning application to 3.3.1 of Planning and Essbase 6.5.4. We have loaded data before in this new system but for some reason I can't get this to load. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. thanks,Eleasha

Is every dimension in the OUTLINE represented in the data file? If not, do the unrepresented dimensions have a member specified in the headers?If every dimension is represented, do the data fields come AFTER the member fields?

Data Load error in Essbase

Hello all-
I extracted some data on flat file from my application in production using report script and i am trying to push the data in another essbase cube using rule file and it comes up with following error:
Reading Rule SQL Information For Database [Database name]
Reading Rules From Rule Object For Database [Database name]
Parallel dataload enabled: [1] block prepare threads, [1] block write threads.
Loading Unicode-encoded data to non-Unicode mode application is not supported
Unexpected Essbase error 1003048
I have previously pushed the level 0 data export many times and this time i am trying to push it via rule file and it come up with this error. How can i look if my orginal application is a unicode application or not??? The rule file that i am using is also from the source application .. I tried loading the data in the same source application but different database and it came up up with same error... Anybody have come across this error before?
Please advise!

*Error “Loading Unicode Encoded Data to Non Unicode Mode Application is not Supported” When Importing An Export File. [ID 764447.1]*
Symptoms
When doing an export with a Report Script the export file is being saved as an UTF-8 document.
Subsequently when importing the export file back into the database the following error occurs:
“Loading Unicode encoded data to Non Unicode mode application is not supported”.
The file has to be saved as an ANSI file for the import to work.
Cause
When exporting data from the EAS console, the export file is created as UTF-8 encoded.
As such Essbase cannot read this file when importing it back in.
This is Bug 6763776 and has been fixed in version 11.1.1.
Solution
This issue has been fixed in version 11.1.1.
If you are unable to upgrade at this time then the suggested workaround is to use MaxL or Esscmd to run the report script, as running it in this manner will save the file in non-unicode mode and thus allow you to load it back in without errors.
Cheers

Data load error in essbase studio

I get the following error when trying to load an ASO cube using Essbase Studio (EPM 11.1.2). This error doen't seem to be documented in any of the Essbase manuals. Question - does this error indicate an essbase server issue or a data source issue? I'm thnking it's datasource related, but my data source is an Oracle database, which I've used previously to load cubes without a problem. I've refreshed the source and can connect to it fine otherwise.
Error:
Data load started at: Fri Dec 03 08:52:21 EST 2010. Data load elapsed time: 10 Minutes 23 Seconds.
Failed to deploy Essbase cube.
Caused by: Failed to load data into database: 8020.
Caused by: Cannot execute a SQL query
Caused by: Io exception: Socket read timed out
Caused by: Socket read timed out
Appreciate any hel with this issue.

When I have issues with Studio I try to break it down slowly. I build my dimensions one at a time. If it breaks on a single dimension build I trace the issues backwards and usually find my issue in the schema.
Studio's role in life is to create SQL load rules and as such depend on a good schema definition. Unforntunately, the dimension build rules can't be opened in EAS with the Dataprep Editor (regular load rules) because they're binary and can do things that a normal load rule cannot (text measures, date measures, time varying attributes, etc.). But that doesn't mean the .rul files are un-readable. If you're having trouble with a particular dimension build process, open the load rule it creates with something like Notepad and grab the SQL that Studio is generating and drop it into Toad (or equivalant) to see if it is generating usable code. If not, there's something wrong with your modeling and you need to go back to the mini-schema.
When you're able to build all dimensions all at the same time, you're almost there. If your issues comes when you want to build and load data, the final debuging steps go quickly. Towards that end, the data load rules (ones that load data vs. building dimensions) generated by Studio can be edited in EAS using the Dataprep Editor. If you know SQL Load Rules, you should be able to figure out. If not, contact John Goodwin, OCS or a partner and set up a consulting visit.

Unable to connect to Server Error in Essbase 11.1.2

Hi,
We are working on Essbase 11.1.2.2. Our applications are in Production and suddenly the some of the BSO Application are down. We tried to re start the applications but not restarted. So we restarted the Essbase Hyperion Services in the Server. Later after bringing the server online when we try to connect to the server we are getting the following Issue..
Error: 103: Unexpected Essbase error 1030818

But usually when we restart the services the server will be online and the applications will be started but now its showing above error. Can any one guide us on this. The server and port are correct but still we are facing this Issue.

Naveen

1.Check if your backend database or schema are running & try to connect your database or schema with the user id and password which is being for configuration
2.Stop the essbase server
3.Restart the essbase server
4.Go to Task manager then see whether essbase.exe appear.
5.if so then try to login into essbase server with your user id and password
6.or else check if the oracle process manager is getting starting and for the below logs
For eg
d:\oracle\Middleware\user_projects\diagnostics\logs\OPMN\opmn\console~Essbase1~EssbaseAgent~AGENT~1.log

Error in Essbase 11.1.1.3 Installation.

Hi Gurus,
I have sucessfully installed the Essbase 11.1.1.3 & when i am trying to do the shared services configuration i am getting an error like " Login failed for user dbadmin. User is not associated with a trusted sql server connection".
I have installed the essbase 11.1.1.3 & Sql Server 2005 in other systems and it was working fine. This is the first time that i am getting such error. Kindly let me know what should be done.
Regards,
Kris.

Hi Kris,
This is common SQL server issue. Let me copy the solution directly.
Start Enterprise Manager.
1. Expand Microsoft SQL Servers, and then expand SQL Server Group.
2. Right-click the server that you want to change to SQL Server and Windows authentication, and then click Properties.
3. In the SQL Server Properties dialog box, click the Security tab, click SQL Server and Windows, and then click OK.
4. When you are prompted to re-start the SQL Server service, click Yes.
Note If you use SQL Server 2005, use SQL Server Management Studio instead of Enterprise Manager to change the security authentication mode.

Error executing essbase report script using maxl

Hi,
V 11.1.2.1 (64 bit) on windows
An essbase report script errors when it is run from maxl. When I run it directly in maxl the error is
Error - 1030205 - Client directory does not exisit: ...EssbaserServer\<instance>\client
When I run it within EAS the error is
Client directory does not exisit: EPMSystem11R1/common/EssbaseRTC-64/11.1.2.0client
Unexpected essbase error 1030205
The client is installed but the folder locations do not exist. There is a calc script which does a data export which works fine. The essbase report can be manually executed without a problem. This worked fine in 9.3.1.
Here is the script (without actual names)
export database 'app'.'database' using report_file 'AReport' to data_file 'c:\\Output.txt';
I would appreciate any help. I have looked at the knowledge base and can't find anything relevant.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan
I would appreciate

Hi,
The issue is now resolved.
The client folder must be created where the EAS service is, not Essbase. Once this was done the report script could not be found. In discussion over the phone with Oracle we did some testing, as they use a non distributed environment. If you use 'using report file' you need to specify the path to the report file i.e.
D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem\EssbaseServer\<instance>\app\<app name>\<database>\report.rep'
The .rep must also be included.
If you use 'using server report file' you only need to specify the report name, without the extension, and the data file path. You specify the path as normal i.e. D:\nathan.txt but you can get away with simply a file name such as 'nathan.txt'. In a distributed environment this exports to the server where the EAS service is to
<drive>:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem
When Oracle support did this it went to the Essbase bin folder as it was a non distributable environment.
The subtle differences between 9.3.1 and 11.1.2.1......
Thanks to all those who contributed.
