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.

  • Ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc.  I cannot swipe to the second

    ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc.  I cannot swipe to the second page of icons,  black box appears around an icon and then switches to a different one anytime I swipe. A box even appears around the time and battery power. iPod & iTunes are both updated. What is the FIX on this issue?

    I had this problem as well.  This is what I found by searching online.  I tried the fix on my nano 7th gen and it worked.  I hope this helps you.  Make sure to use two fingers for sliding and double-click the icons to get into settings.  Good luck.
    It would seem that Voiceover has been enabled on your iPod Nano. The following article contains information regarding Voiceover, and how to disable it once it's been enabled.
    iPod nano (6th generation and later): How to use VoiceOver
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4317
    To turn off VoiceOver on iPod nano using VoiceOver gestures
    From the Home Screen, swipe right or left with two fingers until you see or hear "Page 2 of 2" on iPod nano (7th generation) or "Settings" on iPod (6th generation).
    If the icons have been rearranged, or if there are more than four Home screens, you may hear something different.
    Slide one finger around the screen until you hear Settings. 
    Double-tap to open Settings. 
    Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear General, then double- tap. 
    Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear Accessibility, then double-tap. 
    Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear VoiceOver, then double-tap. 
    Double-tap when you hear "VoiceOver switch button on." 
    You'll hear "VoiceOver off" to confirm the setting. Now you can use standard gestures to control iPod nano.
    Note: You can also turn off VoiceOver by resetting your iPod.

  • 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.
    Cheers

  • Facing an Issue with Payables Open Interface Import

    Hi
    I am facing an issue with the Payables Open Interface Import...
    My Requirement is:
    1. Need to upload the PO, Supplier, Invoice #, Invoice Date details to custom table (through web ADi)
    2. From custom table storing in the AP invoice interface tables.
    3. From Interface table, calling API (Payables Open Interface Import) which wil create the invoive (PO matched)
    Now, If user has given wrong data some reasons....Payables Open Interface Import has rejected that entry....user has checked this and corrected later and trying to create the same invoice with the correcte data....As there is a rejected a line exists on the Header interface, line interface...even though if he pass the correct data in the second time it is cosidering that rejected row and not processing the correct row...
    Can any one suggest on this...
    Regards,
    Bala

    When processing a record, you can check if another ap_invoice_interface record exists for the same invoice number and
    1) Delete the old record and then insert a new one
    OR
    2) Update the old record instead of creating a new one
    Hope this helps,

  • Issue with addPrincipal() of Interface DocumentAcl

    Hi all,
    There is an issue with the addPrincipal(String id, String format, int idType) method of interface DocumentAcl which creates/sets readers for a document and validates them on identity management system.
    When I use this method for small number of readers say 3-10, readers are properly set for the document. However when I have a thousand users/readers for a single document the method throws OutOfMemory Error and does not add a single user for the document.
    I would like to add to above scenario that for a few documents (in my case for 40 documents) readers (all thousand) were properly set. Afterwards for each document I started getting OutOfMemory Error.
    Is it an issue with addPrincipal() method?
    Need your comments.
    I am using SES 10.1.8.

  • Credentials issue with MS SQL Express 2014

    Hello,
    I have kind of simple issue but I failed to resolve it. Here's the issue:
    I have SQL Server Express 2014 installed on my PC. I have to use SQL Server authentication. As 'sa' I created login and user e.g. user1. Then as user1 I created DB e.g. db1 and a few tables. Now I could login into db1 as user1 using SQL Server authentication.
    This db1 will be used by application e.g. app1. This app1 has configuration file that has all credentials and other connection string things. Well when I start that application it throws error "Can't connect to database". Then I look into log and
    see this: Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 8. Login failed for user 'user1'. Reason: Password did not match that for the login provided .  Then I could disable credential check in configuration file of app1 and then I don't have problem to start app1.
    Then I tried to created ODBC connection and use the same credentials and I succeed to connect. Could some give the idea what could be wrong and I can't connect to db1 from my app1? Thanks

    Reset the password of the login, i have already this problem.
    Not forget the connection string syntaxe, do not make the space after and before (=) example :
    Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;User
    Id=myUsername;
    Password=myPassword;
    Thanks for suggestion ... but could you please tell me why  to reset login password ( I could use this password successfully when login from Studio i.e. it's correct.
    Could you please give me sqlcmd example how to connect to my db1 using connection string. That way I should be able to check which users are capable to login.
    N.B. I am planning to play with Trusted Connection because Shanky_621 suggested that value 'false' (like in my case means Windows Authentication). In my case user1 is not Windows user .. it's SQL Authentication user.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Sony X85C - Bravia Sync Issue with Samsung Homecinema and WD Live Box

     Hello  I purchased the 2015 4k Sony TV X85c line, its the 55" with Model Nr: KD55X8507C (silver bezel). The latest Android TV version from mid July is installed and the TV is working fine - except for the interaction with my 2 other components:- a Western Digital Live streaming player box- a Samsung Homecinema HT-D6750W  I knew i could run into problems when mixing up brands, but the issue now is really bugging me: The Samsung homecinema is connected via the HDMI 4 ARC to the Sony TV. The Westen Digital is connected to the homecinema. All devices are HDMI CEC compatible, thus on the Sony I can see the other devices and even control them with the Sony remote - which "concept wise" is really neat, but something is failing.  It seems that the Sony trys constantly to switch between audio system (Samsung) and its own TV speakers when choosing how to deliver the sound. This somehow interfers with the menu dialogs of the Sony. As soon as I connect the Samsung Homecinema and go into the display menu to change image settings / modes it the menu will crash after some seconds (it just fades away). This does not happen when the homecinema is not connected, but then of course im missing the sound of my homecinema.  So there seems to be a certain interference and I assume it could be because of the constant audio switching between TV and audio system. I already tried to deactivate all HDMI-CEC features on the devices, but for the Sony TV's bravia sync its impossible to deactivate fully (the menu is just greyed and "on").  I'm getting some new and state of the art HDMI cables later this day, maybe this will bring a positive effect. Anyone experiences something similiar with the X85C range of products? Is there a way to handle it? ThanksAndre / xenom0rph  

    I "solved" the problem: Bravia Sync does not seem to be compatible with HDMI CEC / Anynet of the Samsung homecinema. I deactivated all HDMI CEC features on the samsung player and the WD TV Live box, and then the deactivation of bravia sync was possible on the TV. After that the issue with the menu crashes was gone. Now i try to get digital audio with optical to the samsung player. So i connected optical out from the Sony TV to the optical in of the player. There are different settings to be made in the sonys audio menu now which I'm still not sure what to do. It has different compression modes for the audio (auto 1, auto 2, pcm). PCM seems to work for most digital audio content, but i fear DTS is not supported by the Sony. I tried the XBMC Kodi Android App on the Sony TV and got digital audio on some movies, but not all of em....not sure if its an app or TV problem.  Oh well..for the moment i stay with the WD live streaming box which supports all audio formats and is connected via HDMI to the player, but its just a very slow cpu in there, so it would be cool to use the more powerful TV as streaming player.

  • Firewall issue with centralized SQL server - port 52384

    Hi, 
    I have dedicated, centralized MS SQL 2012 server for our internal infrastructure with few instances. There is dedicated named instance SC for SC Family Products running on TCP port 1435. Also Server Browser running on UDP 1434 is enabled. I'm trying to install
    SCOM 2012 R2. I got to the step Configure the Operational Database and here, I encountered a problem. I try to connect to my SQL server and put into
    Server name and instance name SQL\SC and into SQL Server port 1434 or 1435, it doesn't connect. If I turn off firewall on SQL server, it connects without problems. On SQL server, I already have allowed incoming communication on ports UDP 1434
    and also TCP 1433-1436. Than, I found out, that I need to allow in TCP 135 so I did it. It didn't work. Than I allowed TCP 49154-49157 for reporting services - it still didn't work. Last thing I allowed (using Microsoft Network Monitor) was TCP port 52384
    and suddenly, it worked . 
    I know what UDP 1434 and TCP 1433-1436 are for. Also, I understand why I have to open 135 and 49154-49157. But I am pretty confused by the port 52384 - what is it for ? Why it isn't mentioned in documentation ? I am pounding with this problem for a while,
    and also, I found out, that my SC VMM is not working, if I do not allow all of these ports - so, probably not only used by SCOM ? 
    Can anyone explain what's that port for ? Or why it's not enough to open 1434, 1433-1436, 135 and 49154-49157 ?
    Thanks
    Tomas

    Hi,
    I didn't install SCOM yet. I am stuck at installation, till I figure out why port 52384 needs to be opened.
    1. My SQL Server Configuration Manager is set like this:
    Protocols for SC - TCP/IP Enabled
    IP2
    Active : Yes
    Enabled : Yes
    IP Address : ipv4 ip address of server
    TCP Dynamic Ports :   (blank)
    TCP Port : 1435
    So, that should be ok, right?
    2. If I turn off firewall on SQL, everything connects ok - so based on that, I suppose that SCOM server firewall is configured ok . It's issue on SQL.
    On SQL server, I have these inbound rules:
    COM+ Network Access (DCOM-In) - TCP 135 enabled
    HTTP/HTTPS - TCP 80,443 enabled
    SCOM Reporting - TCP 49154-49157 enabled
    SQL UDP ports - UDP 1433-1437 enabled
    SQL TCP ports - TCP 1433-1435 enabled
    SCOM 52384 - TCP 52384 enabled <- this is the port I don't understand, why it should be opened
    If I disable any of these rules, my connection will not pass. I figured out those ports using Microsoft Network Monitor on SQL server.
    3. Those databases do not exist yet. I am stuck at 3th step of Operations Manager Setup - at Configure the operational database.
    There are fields Server name and instance name, SQL Server port, Database name, Database size, Data file folder, Log file folder
    . First two are writable and the rest is greyed out. If I don't turn off firewall and I don't enable all rules from point 2 on SQL server and than put in the SQL server name with instance (SQL\SC) and port 1434 (or 1435) it gives
    me red cross, and rest of the page stays greyed out - so, it's unable to connect. If I turn off firewall, or enable all the rules in previous point (2) I am able to change name of the database, database size, data/log file folder. But if I disable any
    of those ports, it stays greyed out - I am concerned about port 52384, why it should be opened? What is it for? Why it isn't mentioned in any documentation? Or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks

  • Issue with Microsoft SQL Server, according to SAP (LMB)

    We are upgrading our SAP Solution Manager and ran into a problem. SAP has passed it on to Microsoft because it appears to be an issue with our MS SQL data base.   So we get a question back from Microsoft that says - - 
    First, you are running SAPJVM1.4 and for a 1.4 environment the 1.2
    version of the Microsoft SQL Server driver must be used.
    So how can I find the version number for our Microsoft SQL Server driver ??   Thanks, Jim Wells

  • Intergration Services and Essbase SQL-Interface

    Hi, Experts,
    I have learned that if I need to access relational database I need to have one of the above components.
    Well, as SQL-Interface is free, what is an Intergration Services good for?
    Please give me some advices.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Linda

    Both SQL Interface and Analytic Integration services provide direct link to the RDBMS.
    In AIS, We have to create OLAP Model(Logical Star Schema) and MetaOutline(Rules to load memebers and data) based on the OLAP Model.

  • Having issues with getting SQL Server Express to start services and run.

    Good afternoon everyone,
    I have been working on a 2012 R2 server getting ready to move databases to new hardware.  I had SQL Server Express 2008 R2 running on this server with no issues.  I was handed another software package that ran SQL Express 2012 and had to for compatibility
    reasons.  I have had multiple versions run on Server 2012 before with no issues.  This time, not so lucky.  When the installer from the updated package put on SQL Express 2012 it completed with errors ( error log posted at the end of post) and
    would not allow me to run software.  I then tried the db that I had installed on 2008 R2 and it also gave the  same error as the 2012 version.  IN basic terms the required services attempted to start and shut back down again.  I have received
    Error 1068 about database handles and error %%945.   I know this db has plenty of space and the permissions were added for the Admin account to access both db's.  I then uninstalled both versions and tried again, with the same errors listed when
    I tried to start the services.     I am thinking that a clean install would fix the issue however I am not certain what files/folders/reg entries need to be deleted or modified.  I have researched all the errors I can find, however I am very
    new with SQL anything so I know I am missing something.   I also do not have an "E:" drive on this server (not sure why it is going there). Input would be very welcome as I am not certain where to go from here. 
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi HMLunger,
    Did you install the SQL Server instance successfully? If not, please help to post the summary and detail logs for analysis. By default, the logs can be found in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
    However, if you fail to start SQL Server Express service after successfully installing SQL Server,
    you might have to change the paths of the files by running the following scripts from the command prompt. For more details, please review this similar
    thread.
    NET START MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS /f /T3608
    SQLCMD -S .\SQLEXPRESS
    ALTER DATABASE model MODIFY FILE (NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path\os_file_name');
    ALTER DATABASE model MODIFY FILE (NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path\os_file_name');
    go
    exit;
    ALTER DATABASE msdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path\os_file_name');
    ALTER DATABASE msdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path\os_file_name');
    NET STOP MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS
    In addition, you can follow the steps in this KB article to uninstall SQL Server.
    Thanks,

  • Performance issue with pl/sql code

    Hi Oracle Gurus,
    I am in need of your recommendations for a performance issue that I am facing in production envrionment. There is a pl/sql procedure which executes with different elapsed time at different executions. Elapsed Times are 30minutes , 40 minutes, 65 minutes , 3 minutes ,3 seconds.
    Expected elapsed time is maximum of 3 minutes. ( But some times it took 3 seconds too...! )
    Output on all different executions are same that is deletion and insertion of 12K records into a table.
    Here is the auto trace details of two different scenarios.
    Slow execution - 33.65 minutes

              -------------------------------------------------------------For security reasons, I cannot share the actual code. Its a report generating code that deletes and load the data into table using insert into select statement.
    Delete from table ;
    cursor X to get the master data ( 98 records )
    For each X loop
    insert into tableA select * from tables where a= X.a and b= X.b and c=X.c ..... ;
    -- 12 K records inserted on average
    insert into tableB select * from tables where a= X.a and b= X.b and c=X.c ..... ;
    -- 12 K records inserted on average
    end loop ;1. The select query is complex with bind variables ( explain plan varies for each values )
    2. I have checked the tablespace of the tables involved, it is 82% used. DBA confirmed that it is not the reason.
    3. Disk reads are high during long execution.
    4. At long running times, I can see a db sequential read wait event on a index object. This index is on the table where data is inserted.
    All I need to find is why this code is taking 3 seconds and 60 minutes on the same day and on the consecutive executions ?
    Is there any other approach to find the root cause of this behaviour and to fix it ? Kindly adivse.
    Thanks in advance your help.
    Regards,
    Hari

    Hi Oracle Gurus,
    I am in need of your recommendations for a performance issue that I am facing in production envrionment. There is a pl/sql procedure which executes with different elapsed time at different executions. Please reedit your post and add some code tags around the trace information. This would improve readability greatly and will help us to help you
    example
    {<b></b>code}
    select * from dual;{<b></b>code}
    Based upon your description I can imagine two things.
    a) The execution plan for the select query does change frequently.
    A typical reason can be not up to date statistics.
    b) Some locking / wait conflict. For example upon a UK index.
    Are there any other operations going on while it is slow? If anybody inserts a value, then your session will wait, if the same (PK/UK) value also is to be inserted.
    Those wait events can be recognized using standard tools like oracle sql developer or enterprise manager while the query is slow.
    Also go through the links that are in the FAQ. They tell you how to get better information for makeing a tuning request.
