Is Essbase essential for Hyperion 11.1.2 ???

Hi Gurus,
I know this is a stupid question, as Essbase is the database for Hyperion, but is there any way or doc to prove that without Esssbase Hyperion installation is incomplete ot that its mandatory. Any inputs on this is appreciated.
Regards,
Uday

Essbase is required if you are going to have Planning installed. That is because Planning does not store the data in the RDBMS, but in Essbase. Only the metadata of Planning is stored in RDBMS.

Generating Essbase database for Hyperion PerformanceScorecard, HPS v1.1.1.3

Hi,
We're working with HPS v11.1.1.3. The Framework is developed without any issues.
A data source connection could be established for Essbase & synchronized periodically.
However, while we tried to generate the Essbase database from- Administration (menu) -> Star Schema Generation, we hit a roadblock. It failed with the below error message:
*"Exception generating Essbase cube (via Integration Services): Star Schema generation failed"*
Did any of you get to see the above error?
To troubleshoot, we did the below-
(i) The generated xml files (for OLAP Model & Metaoutline) are imported to an EIS catalog. No problem here.
(ii) When we manually tried to load the metadata from EIS, it didn't let us proceed due to an error: Two of the tables used in OLAP Model don't physically exist.* To our surprise, they do exist.
(iii) We manually modified the OLAP Model by deleting the troublesome tables & drag-n-dropped them again. Ofcourse, in this process, we had to tamper metaoutline too
(iv) Now, with the modified EIS artifacts, we were able to load the metadata _(,with very few rejects)._
Before raising an SR with Oracle, I thought of checking with you experts incase one of you happened to have faced this & got it resolved. Please advise.
Sorry for being verbose!
Thanks!

Hello friends!
I have the very same error. I've opened a a SR in the oracle support but till now no solution!

Solaris 8 (32/64-bit) for Hyperion Essbase OLAP Server Release 6.5.4

Dear all, Do anyone know the difference between and impact on Solaris 8 (32/64-bit) for Hyperion Essbase OLAP Server Release 6.5.4?Thanks for your help!Regards,Zero Lai

I do not think wired will even work with the 6.x runtimes. Your only real option is to put off the move untill you can manage the a6.5 upgrade.

Changing RDBMS Server for Hyperion Essbase

Hello All,
We have installed and configured 11.1.2.2.100(Essbase, EIS, Studio, Shared Services) on Windows 2008 32-bit Server successfully.
Everything went fine and all products are working.
Now we changed the RDBMS Server for Hyperion Essbase and ran the configuration once again with new RDBMS server with "Reuse existing tables" option.
H1
| First Current
DB1 -> DB2
From that time we are unable to access the essbase server.
We were able to see the users in Shared Services. All users able to login to Shared Services, EAS but problem with Essbase.
In HSS_Component table found old server name in two places, we have updated the old DB server name to Current DB server name.
When we try accessing essbase we are getting the below error(tried with hostname, ip address, EssbaseCluster1 as Essbase server)
Network error [10061]: Failed to connect to [Server Name:1423]
Error: 103: Unexpected Essbase error 1030818
Error: 1042006: Network error [10061]: Failed to connect to [[ServerName]:1423]
Error: 1030818: Login failed. Please check if server and port are correct. If you received timeout or handshake failure,
please check if you tried to connect to secure port without secure keyword or clear port with secure keyword.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Prathap

It is extremely important that you know what you are doing before touching the shared services registry and the correct way is not to update tables, it is to use the epmsys_registry utility.
To be honest you may have screwed up the registry and that is something I am not going to get involved in, try discussing with Oracle what you have just done.
If it is only the rdbms servername changing (not the essbase server) then you should follow the instructions in the documentation - Changing the Shared Services and Registry Database Connection Information and Password

How to find maximum number of users we can assign for Hyperion Planning.

HI,
How to find maximum number of users we can assign for Hyperion Planning.i.e., how to find license limit in hyperion planning 11.1.2.1.
In Essbase propreties, the system is showing maximum planning users could be 65535.
what would be the number for concurrent scenario?
Thanks
Giri
Edited by: Giriprasad on Jun 18, 2012 2:18 AM

The number of users would be based on your license agreement with Oracle, the system is not aware of your license agreement so it is up to you to stick to it.

How to find licence for Hyperion Software

Hi,
I want "Essbase Application Manager" for one of my team member but somehow our desktop support team is not able to find this software in their catalog . I think name of the software may be changed.
I have same software on my desktop but it is inside "Hyperion Solutions" SOftware . Does anyone have any idea on my situatuin.
Is there any Hyperion product in which I can ""Essbase Application Manager" for my day to day work
Also I want to find licence for the Hyperion SOLutions software on my desktop. Can anyone tell me how I can find it ?

What version of Essbase are you running? I think Application Manager was decommissioned in Version 6 (although it might have been Version 7). It was replaced by Essbase Administration Services(EAS). Application Manager does not need a license as it is just an administrative tool for Essbase. For the license number again it depends on the version. Later version do not have a license number, earlier versions do. In some cases you can get it from App Manager by getting server properties and it will show you. In other versions, you would start Essbase in foreground and it will show you the license as it starts. Essbase 7.16, System 9.3.1 and Version 11 do not have licenses that you have to enter.

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply.
Actually i have written big reply to u with explaining about the issue. But at the writing reply only, i got an idea to resolve this.
Now i am able to run the Model successfully.
Yes, you are correct. Due to invalid credentials only i am getting this error.
I want to ask you one thing. Actually, at the time configuration i gave password as a password, then my manager wants to change that password to Gxxx@123!
I have changed that password, it is working fine to connect workspace, easconsole and all.
But the issue i seen in creating DataSource(In planning), i am getting error with new password in the Essbase server datails. If i give old password(as password), it is working fine.
So, How can get that new password to work here??
In ODI also, it is the issue. When i am using New password it is not working. With Old password it is working fine.
Thanks,
mady

New server for hyperion

Hi,
I would like to know how can I know which latest patch I should go for Hyperion (9.3.1, Planning, SS, Essbase) or what should be approach? I need to migrate Hyperion servers and will install and configure Hyperion component.
Secondly I know installation, config. backup and migration, but what test should i run for on windows 2003 R2 (i mean, should i need anything like IIS for planning and i don't think there is any need to do with environmental variable as it should create automatically at the time of installation. or should i use existing Environmental variable to create on new server.
Regards
Kumar

Agents for Hyperion Planning Integration

Hi all,
my customer is performing an integration between E-Biz and Hyperion Planning
* From E-Biz to Hyp Planning (using Planning KMs for dimensions and Essbase KMs for data)
* From Hyp PLanning to E-Biz (using Essbase KMs for data extract and Oracle KMs for loading into GL Interface Table)
Server's architecture is as follows:
* Planning Server
* Essbase Server
* E-Biz Server
We will place an ODI agent at Essbase Server (data extract requirement). This agent will be also used for data load into Essbase.
would it be recommended to have another agent at Planning server for running dimensions load into the Planning application?
Thanks in advance

I don't usually install an agent on the essbase and planning server, usually the agent is on the essbase server. I have not really seen any performance issues for loading metadata into planning, planning metadata is relatively small anyway.
Cheers
John

VB for hyperion

hi can any give any link for learning VB for hyperion
because i thinking to automate the some of excel retrieve
its not just retrive but its some conditional retrieving
i need complete documentation can any 1 help me

Click on this link: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_apiref/launch.htm
Click on the Contents link -- you will see two nodes: Visual Basic Main API and Visual Basic Outline API.
If you're working in Excel, you might also want to check out the Smart View's API: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/sv_user_help/launch.htm Click on the Contents link in that page and look down at the bottom of the hierarchy -- VBA Functions is the penultimate node.
Lastly, if you are using the classic Add-in, see Essbase help (varies on location within Excel depending on version) and check out the SpreadSheet toolkit.

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.
Cheers

ODI adapter for Hyperion Performance Scorecard

Hi,
Does any of you know if ODI got an adapter for Hyperion Performance Scorecard? I know that there's Essbase and Planning adapters, but can't seem to find one for Scorecard.

Hi Gerd,
There is no HPS KM for ODI. HPS has a native load utlity that can be used and called from ODI.
Thanks,
