Issue uninstalling Essbase

Hello Experts,
One of my customer has an issue uninstalling Essbase.
User lost disk drive, installed a new one; they re-imaged it and have tried to un-install it multiple times and not everything goes away.
Getting "runtime error 48, file not found essexcin.xll, which is percieved to be a permissions issue.
The local IT Tech logged in as Admin, navigated to the C:\hyperion\analyticServices andl there is NO analyticServices folder.
ENVIRONMENT DETAILS
PRODUCT : Essbase 7.1.6.0.00
OS : Microsoft Windows (32-bit) 2003
Any suggestions would be of great help.
Thanks,
Sonal

Hi,
Is there anything else installed in C:\hyperion\???? apart from Analytic services if no then I suppose to delete Hyperion Folder manually and in my case it works well.
Thanks

Installed Essbase in OBIEE 11.1.1.7 installation, Is is possible to disable/uninstall Essbase only?

I have installed obiee 11.1.1.7 along with Essbase , Want to know is there any possibility to disable/Uninstall Essbase for the OBIEE 11.1.1.7 installation?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,

Hi Pawan,
I hope we can uninstall only Essbase by choosing Essbase check box in the Uninstall Wizard.
Please try and let me know.

Issues uninstalling Palm Desktop software (v. 4.2.1)

I am having issues uninstalling the Palm desktop software (v. 4.2.1) from my computer and Palm Support is no longer able to assist me, claiming the problem is too complex and OS-related.
Basically, I wasn't able to remove the software using the built-in uninstall feature so I was told to attempt a manual deletion of all Palm-related files in Terminal. After doing a search for these files via Spotlight, I was given the following directions:
>> On the Terminal application.
Type rm.
Press Space bar on the USB keyboard.
Drag the undeleted files to the terminal.
Press Enter.
Check if the file is deleted. If not, just click anywhere on the desktop and after a few seconds check if the file is deleted.
This method was mostly successful and I was able to remove most of the files that I wasn't otherwise able to from trash. However, several files still remain:
1 - In an original folder labeled 'Palm 00-08-43', there are two applications that cannot be deleted: 'Palm Support' and 'Palm Desktop'. Both seem to be applications based on their generic icon; 'Palm Desktop' indeed opens up as the Palm Desktop application (v. 4.2.1) but the Palm Support file
cannot be opened because it may be "damaged or incomplete".
2 - In an original folder labeled 'Palm', there is an unidentified 'Palm Desktop' file (4.4MB) that cannot be deleted in Terminal either. (By "unidentified" I mean, no default application is specified to open the document.)
3 - Also, when searching for Palm-related files via Spotlight, I get a result for an application 'Palm Desktop Background' whose file path is associated with the unidentified and problematic 'Palm Desktop' file mentioned above in (2). The file path is as follows: Palm>Palm Desktop>Contents>Resources>Palm Desktop Background.
None of these files (whether individually or their folders) can be deleted in Terminal for the same reason, which Terminal specifies as "a directory". I even tried creating a folder and dragging that folder with all the corrupt files into the Terminal application but to no avail. Also, I made sure to run the Disk Utility to repair and verify disk permissions during this process.
Can anyone help me figure out why those specific files or "directories" cannot be easily deleted? The problem sounds complicated so if anyone knows where I might be able to seek assistance, that would be helpful too. Thanks!

What problem are you trying to solve? If you want to remove all signs of the Palm desktop software, what I did was open up a finder window, and then I searched for "Palm" and deleted everything that came up, except the Palm folder in my Documents folder.
Until I finally divorced myself from using the Palm desktop software, I had to repeat this operation several times.
The Palm desktop software is absolutely horrible. I suggest you move to Missing Sync by Mark Space software or use Apple's built-in iSync and forget about the Palm desktop software. You can get Missing Sync online from http://www.markspace.com

Issue with Essbase - SQL Interface in UNIX box

Hi All,
One of our customer is facing an issue while trying to connect to the Oracle datasource from Essbase version 9.0.1.0.00 in a 64 bit UNIX box. He is using Oracle wired protocol for SQL interface.
Customer has tried the below and getting the below error:
1) Ran the nst-sql.sh file.
2) Edited the odbc.ini file and the .profile file with the required dsn information.
3) From the console selected the open SQL option and received the following error " There are no datasources defined. Please create one to continue"
I have attached the odbc.ini file and the .profile file for your reference.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Bharathi Raja

The essbase user needs to be restarted to be able to see the new odbc.ini entries.
After editing the files you mentioned, did you restart the essbase services?
At the very least, did you exit EAS, then restart EAS? (I don't remember which one of these will do it.) If your entries are correct, then one of these should get the essbase user to 'see' the odbc connection.
Also, it might help to remove extraneous entries in the .odbc.ini file, kind of difficult to read thru all of that.

Issue Uninstalling WAAS Mobile Client on Windows 7

The quickest solution might be to try to reinstall followed by another uninstall, or to use the Windows Install Cleanup Utility, (although Microsoft has removed it from their support site with the following disclaimer).
Notice
This article previously contained a link to the Windows Installer Cleanup utility (MSICUU2.exe). If you were directed to this article to solve a problem installing a product other than Microsoft Office, please contact your software manufacturer for installation support on the product.
While the Windows Installer Cleanup utility resolved some installation problems, it sometimes damaged other components installed on the computer. Because of this, the tool has been removed from the Microsoft Download Center.
Nonetheless, here is an active link and basic instructions:
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
1.     To use the Windows CleanUp utility, follow these steps:
a.     Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Windows Install Clean Up.
b.     Select the program that you want to remove, and then click Remove.
c.     Click OK, and then click Exit.
If these suggestions do not help, then perhaps a case should be opended with TAC and they could assist with gathering the installer log files.

Display Session issue in Essbase

Hi,
we currently upgraded to V11.1.2.2 from 9.3. In system 9 to see a list of sessions we used EAS and did a Edit Session on the server to get a list and it worked fine, but in System 11 the behavior of Edit sessions is different. Whenever we did Edit sessions it took the Essbase in a funky state which doesnt recover even when we kill all the ESSSVR sessions in the backend., ultimately we have to restart Essbase to bring it back up. We thought it could be an EAS issue and instead used MAXL command to list the sessions, "display sessions on application Sample;" and it was the same behavior as it has happened while displaying sessions from EAS which tells me its the Essbase function thats doing the harm.
Does anyone had seen this behavior with Version 11 or V11.1.2.2 specifically? FYI we are hosting Essbase on 64 Bit AIX. Is there tuning options that could resolve this issue? Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks!
@MJ

Turned out be an issue in EAS server on linux which oracle addressed with a patch.

Issue uninstalling/updating iTunes

Hello everyone. Like many of you, I recieved the notification to update my iTunes to 10.7 when the new iPhone 5 came out. As usual, I would click on Download Now and let it update itself. However, seeing as how I am here, that is not the case. Initially, the update would go along normally, with the small screen popping up to calcuate the space needed and disappearing soon after. Nothing else came up, even after an hour of waiting. Now, I have tried time and time again to update my iTunes, and after getting fed up with it, decided to uninstall the program along with the other Apple programs that I have. I even used Revo Uninstaller to try and remove any unwanted registries (though some still remain after multiple uses), but the installer still doesn't do anything after that small screen disappears. I apologize for having repeated a similar problem in which other people have posted, but I am at my wits end, and would like to see a light at the end of this cruel tunnel, and would appreciate any help given. Thank you for your time.

I would really appreciate any assistance with this issue, as my next alternative would be to just do a complete wipe of my computer. Also, I apologize for the large wall of text.

Drill down issue ON ESSBASE

Hi Experts,
OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0,
the mutipdatasoure is ESSBASE 11.1.1.2
In Essbase databases we use the “code” as the Member name and the “description” in the Alias, when we click the Alias name in answer for drill down horizontally, it will generate the following error message, maybe the Alias column lead to this problem and do not find the exact value in ESSBASE member name. How to solve this issue?
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 96002] Essbase Error: Unknown Member [Dim_Region].[China] used in query (HY000)

Note:
When we use “code” as the Member name for drilling down ,it will be successful.
In physical layer, we change member name into Alias default in display column area.
Code:

10012(Alis South+)

Any suggestions?

CS4 / CS3 licensing issues & uninstalling errors

Hi everyone,

Any known issues with Essbase 64 bit and other components as 32 bit

Hi Everyone,
Are there any known issues with 64 bit Essbase and other components (Planning, EAS, Provider services, EAS, Workspace and Reporting) in 32 bit?
Version is EPM 11.1.1.3
The reason for choosing ESSBASE 64 bit is of course performance. We decided to stick to 32 bit for the web applications due to some known issues and bitter experiences in past in this version with 64 bit web deployments.
OS is Windows 2003 Server (64 bit for the ESSBASE server and 32/64 bit for the application server)
Thanks,
Sayantan

Hyperion 32-bit Web Apps are fully compatible with Essbase 64-bit. Same with 32-bit Essbase client.

Cannot uninstall Essbase Client in EPM

Hi all,
My own laptop is with win7 64bit system, and I try to install the SmartView and Essbase Client (Add-in) today, but unfortunately I installed the 32bit client by mistake (SmartView seems not this problem), so the Add-in cannot take effect in my Excel. And then I try to uninstall it and re-install the 64bit client, but, the first time, there is an error "JRE not found", sth like that, so I search the solution in the internet, the proposed solution is to copy the JRE folder from anotehr environment, so I found one in Version 1.5 to solve this problem. And then the second problem occured, the initializing process run endlessly and cannot see the next step after I select the products to uninstall, I don't know how to solve it, seems there're some similar cases in the internet but no replies I can find. Who can help give some solution? Thanks very much.
Another problem is, the Smartview menu appeared in my office, but I can't manage the data source management because I can't see anything in the panel, can also anyone give some help?
Thanks

Are you only requiring the excel addin, if so you don't need to install the client you can install the standalone excel addin, it is available from :- http://download.oracle.com/otn/hyperion/1112/Essbase-ExcelAddin-11120.zip

Issues with Essbase Server configuration

Hi All,
- I have a simple environment with one foundation server with only foundation services running on it (only foundation components installed). On the single Essbase server, I have installed foundation (by default) and Essbase components.
- I'm facing an issue with the Essbase server configuration. All steps complete except for the last step: Deploying the web applications (APS and EAS) to the WebLogic server.
- FYI, I am deploying the web application to the existing domain created on the Foundation server. As all products need to be on the same domain..
During deploying, the WebLogic admin server reports the following error:
BEA-149003
Unable to access application source information in /opt/shared/apps/hyperion/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1/products/Essbase/eas/server/AppServer/InstallableApps/Common/aps.ear for application ‘APS’.
The specified error is: No application files exist.
Now the above path and files exist on the Essbase server but not on the Foundation server. So after playing around with the WL admin console and reading Sandeep's post[1], I have come to the conclusion that:
1. The Essabase components have to be installed on the Essbase server, but not configured.
Now this implies that I need to install all components on the foundation server even though I will only be using it to deploy the foundation services which seems a bit silly?
2. Create a new domain on the Essbase server, so the EAS/APS will be deployed on the Essbase server - but won't be on the same domain as the other products.
Well I'm a newbie with WebLogic and would thus appreciate your valuable inputs!
Thanks in advance...
References:
[1]. http://sandeepseshan.blogspot.in/2009/02/weblogic-server-10-deployment-error.html

From the configuration docs -
"On the machine on which you plan to administer the WebLogic Server, you must install all Web applications for all applications you plan to deploy on any machine in the environment. (The WebLogic Administration Server is installed and deployed on the Foundation Services machine.)"
You shouldn't need to create a new domain for deploying on other servers and can use the existing one and only deploy the web applications on the servers you want them running on.
I am not sure which version you are installing but if it is 11.1.2.1 then I take it the OS is the same type on both machines
"All Web applications in an EPM System deployment must be deployed on either windows machines or on all UNIX machines."
There note has doesnt seem to be there in 11.1.2.2 so I assume it is not the rule anymore.
