Large Analyzer User environments (1500 user ++) ?

Hi. We are looking for companies who have similar large installations with Hyperion Analyzer to exchange experience in functionality, bugs, productive administration, best practices and migration issues. Interested in establishing an European User Group Meeting ? ...There was one with a lot of members during IBM's time selling Hyperion products... bye knightrich

Hi, our company has 100 Analyzer users. I am from Europe. Don't know if you are interested in sharing info. At the moment I still use IBM version of Hyperion products. But since IBM will not support Hyperion solutions in the near future (jan 2007) I will migrate to Hyperion. My production system: - Intel server (2 CPU using hyperthreating technology - so Windows see 4 CPUs) - Windows 2003 - Analytic server (Essbase) 7.1.0 (this is equal to IBM DB2 OLAP Server 8.2) - Analyzer server 7.0.19.01830 (this is equal to IBM DB2 OLAP Analyzer server 8.1) - DB2 for Windows v8.2 (database server) - Java JRE 1.3.1_09 on clients computers Can you please tell more about your system? You have 1500+ Analyzer users. What is your database name and version? What is you OLAP server? What is your hardware type and number of CPUs? Etc. Hope this helps, Grofaty

When using BW Bex query analyzer users cannot change reporting queries ....

Issue: When using BW Bex query analyzer users cannot change reporting queries. Any attempt to change queries results in errors.

2. SAP BW 3.5 Patch 4
3. SAP BI 7.10 Patch 900
4. SAP GUI 7.10 Patch 12
Does anyone has any idea as to why we are getting this error? Is it a Vista issue? Is it a front-end issue?

Just a thought - did you guys apply any Microsoft security patches before this started happening - we had a similar issue in other SAP application due to MS security update. Raise an OSS with SAP

How to change Analyzer user password with Administration API?

Hi, I would like to change Analyzer user password with Administration API. Can someone post some sample commands to do the task? I would just like to write an application to change end user's Analyzer password. As I see I would need to do the following: 1. login with admin userid/password 2. execute some method to change password for required userid. I think the input parameter should be userid (of the user I would like to change password) and new password (the new password for the user). 3. logout Can someone post some sample code (commands to execute)? Thanks, grofaty My system: Analyzer Server 7.0.1. Essbase server 7.1 Windows XP SP2 

<blockquote>quote: <hr>Originally posted by: knightrich Hello Mr. Jordan. I would like to exchange some thoughts about "housekeeping" Analyzer reports in preparation for migration from Analyzer 7.0.0.0.01472 to 9.x: ... Did you solved such a problem or do you have an idea if it could be solved with the Admin API methods? ... Migration from 7.00 to 9.x: As we heard last week the "Migration Wizard for Reports" in 9.3 should be able to migrate reports. Do you have experience or more detailed information about that Wizard? Many thanks in advance knigthrich<hr></blockquote> knighrich, I'd like to be more help, but I have no experience with System 9. I did substantial cleanup when we migrated from Analyzer 6 to Analyzer 7.1, and even more cleanup when moving up to 7.2, but our installation is smaller in scale than yours and we didn't need to automate report cleanup. You might be able to get the ownership information you need through the back door, doing a direct query on the database, but simpler might be an export users, at least from 7.0. (This facility probably doesn't exist in system 9; it was dropped in 7.2 in favor of an undocumented API) The export file is an xml file that could easily be parsed to identify reports that have the administrator as user and then a second pass to delete those with otuer ownership as well. As previously suggested, you might be able to get this by a well crafted SQL query against the repository. Procedurally, we have both public reports that have the blessing of management and are widely available, owned by a "public owner", and private reports developed by indivdual users and shared or not. Our team maintains the public reports, but not the private reports. We may be asked to make a previously private report public and take over maintenance of it. I hope that you can find a solution that meets your needs. Certainly a call to customer support to identify a poorly documented feature would be in order.

2008 R2 Terminal Server large Local User Profile Folder; C:\ drive size fluctuation

Hey Guys,
Have an interesting issue I'm currently working with and starting to scratch my head. I inherited this server so many things I'm still discovering.
This is TS 2008 R2 SP1, with very basic setup; Microsoft, Firefox, IE, and Adobe. I currently have many users, but only these two user profiles that have large folders. (all the space is taking out by C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\Microsoft). Each folder orbiting
around 23.6GB taking 89% of the C:\ drive. Once I discovered it, I applied folder redirection policy to move all the content of the user folder's to the large drive; P:\TSProfiles\ottc01
However, the actual C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\Microsoft folder still there and looks like it cannot be moved. It's almost like every instance of windows OS and Microsoft Office duplicated and resides on each user's local profile. Plus, the C:\ drive
space fluctuates and goes up and down, every time user logs on and off.
So, I'm curious is to how to correct this issue and why only these two users have such a large profiles? I can provide more info if needed, just let me know.
Thanks everyone for their time.

Hi,
On current situation, please refer to following articles and check if can help you.

In addition, this issue seems to be more related to terminal service. I also suggest that you would post this question in
Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services) Forum. I believe we will get a better assistance there.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

VI Analyzer User Plugins Directory

Hi Ppl,
I have been using VI Analyzer in labVIEW 2010. It has the option to created user plugins or Tests. I have created some plugings, but the constraint that I face is that, I have to place these plugins within the LabVIEW Data directory for the VI analyzer tool to load my plugins. My plugins are all located in a different location since I'm using a source code control and I cannot move the plugins from this location. Is there any way that I can tell VI Analyzer to load the user created plugins from the directory I tell. One round about approach is to change the LabVIEW Data directory in the LabVIEW options. But THere are lot other files that are created by LabVIEW in this directory. How do I go about this ?
Thanks,
Sathish

Hi slipstick,
Thanks for replying, from what you say I think, we still don't have the option to load user plugins from a user selected directory
I feel its not fair to ask the user to copy such plugins to a pre defined directory. I hope that there is some workaround for this LabVIEW 2010.
Thanks,
Sathish

BEx Analyzer: User ID based performance issue

Hello Ladies and Gents,
The issue:
My BW team just upgraded our system to 2004s and we are experiencing an odd userid based performance issue. If we run a query from the BEx Analyzer with user ID 'A' it takes about 3min for the variable selection screen to appear. If I log into the same machine user ID 'A' was using on my user ID B the query variable selection screen appears within seconds. What could possibly cause this?
What we know so far:
1. Investigated the security roles, seems like that is not the issue.
2. It is PC client independent. Two different user IDs(A and B) on the same machine running the same query in the same way (clicking through the BEx browser) produces different response times for the appearance of the variable selection screen.
Points will be rewarded and help will be greatly appreciated!

User specific personalization is retrieved before displaying the input variables. That might be a possibility, but hard to see it making such a difference. Do you always try the sequence of User A, then User B, or have you confirmed that when you start with User B, it is quick, and tehn slow whne trying User A?
Probably the best approach is to activate Trace and then logon with User A, turn trace off and print or save, then do the same thing for User B and compare. The trace will show you all the various SQL stmts and such that run as part of your trying to launch the query.
Please post back anything you learn.
Some info on Personalization for the Help pages.
Personalization in BEx
Use
This function allows users to fill variables with user-specific values, to save user-specific accesses to BI objects for the history view in the BEx Open dialog box, and to save user-specific start views for Web applications.
Integration
The personalized data is stored in different DataStore objects, according to the personalization area.
· User-specific variable values are stored in the DataStore object 0Pers_VAR.
· Personalized data for the history view is stored in the DataStore object 0Pers_BOD.
· Personalized start views for the Web application are stored in the DataStore object 0Pers_WTE.

Analyzer User/Group Preferences

I am having issues with my users view in Analyzer 7.2.5. The folders/groups a user has access to changes nearly every time they login. First time user logins they see there presentations group folders and their user folders. They log out and log back in a minute later, they can't see their startup group or their own folders, but the everyone folder is now visible in their list even though no users are in the everyone group. Using Analyzer 7.2.5.3 on weblogic with Essbase 7.1.6. Any suggestions welcomed. Thanks

Analyzer - User asked to login everytime

We have a problem in which the user is asked to login everytime they access a report. The setting in the report is to utilize their Analyzer ID and password as well as the Administration Tool setting are correct. Anyone have any ideas?

We had this problem; it's most likely due to multiple data sources on one report. Go into 'Design Report' and double click on your main grid, you will see the list of data sources on your report. Highlight and delete (by pressing delete on your keyboard) any old data sources. This solved the problem for us.Good luck

IMac slow - no large CPU users running.

My iMac is processing everything SO SLOWLY no matter how many programs I close. I see that using my activity monitor that system memory is all but totally used up. What are my options to clean this up? It's so bad that even if all programs are closed and all I am running is safari, the processing to switch between tabs is taking forever.
Any suggestions? Can the iMac be upgraded past the 4MB of RAM that it came with?

It depends on exactly which iMac you have as to how much RAM it can take.

Default Formatting in Analyzer set to all users

Hi, in Java Web Analyzer 7.0.1.8 I would like to set Tools | User Preferences | Default Formatting | Replace Missing With | Zeros to all 100 Analyzer users that are in our company. 1. Is there any way to do this automaticaly for all users with one settings? 2. Is there any way to set this setting as default? So if new Analyzer user is created to get this new value automaticaly. Thanks, Grofaty

You can do some formatting at the Database/Connection level too. Using the Administration Tools, select the database, and for each dimension you can apply some formatting. Obviously, if you have a lot of cubes with many dimensions this may take as long as changing it for the users.

Is there a way to disable the option to save files in the cloud for a companies user base in the new subscription model??

Our corporation is mandated by privacy laws within provincial legislation that prevents us from using cloud based storage outside of our province for the storage of data. We are unable to continue using Adobe products based on the new subscription based model due to the inclusion of cloud based storage. We need to have a way to disable the ability/option for our large corporate user base to store data files in the cloud. Merely having the "option" to store files in a location of one's choice is not sufficient based on the policies we are legally forced to adhere to. Without the option of disabling the cloud storage for our user base we will be forced to look at other vendors products to fill the needs we have that are currently filled by the Adobe line of products. We would prefer to stay with Adobe products...so if someone knows how to disable this option (via registry edits, etc.), please advise.

hi Nikolay,
there is no clean solution for your problem. Browsers cache files by url, you can avoid caching appending in query string unique value per deployment. For example
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<current date> - will be refreshed from cache when day changes
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<GUID> - if guid is generated on every request, this file should never cache
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<product version> - more preferable solution, browser will update cache on every new version that was deployed
Actually, ScriptLink should take care about this, internally it has a method that appends unique id into query string based on js file content, if content changed, hash is also changed and new unique id is generated.

Can FDM user maintenance be automated through backend?

We have a FDM environment with 2 FDM apps for 3000 entities and about 700 users. You might have figure out that maintaining security across large number users since each one has to be done manually across both apps. Now we are about to start using FDM for our planning application and the security scenario gives us a nightmare.
Has anyone automated FDM security maintenance? Is it through APIs or SQL backend?
Any help would be really appreciated.

I have multiple FDM applications as well as a test environment. I usually sync all of the production App to the other pieces and override certain sections for instance :
A.) Production - This is production Actual Reporting App
B.) Budget - This is a Budget FDM App. I want to keep all of the users, locations, etc. However, as we use multi-load, I don't care about the individual maps. Instead I map everything to * as the multi-load templates use our HFM accounts.
I have a SQL script I wrote which copies the necessary details from A to B and then I do an update to set every location of the proper type to have a parent map for a special location I called BudgetLocation.
I also have FDM app C.) Tax
Tax is an EXACT copy of actual. The reason I keep it separate from the normal production app; however, is they load to production HFM server but to different scenarios. End users (no offense) are not aware enough to realize what Scenario (category) they are in so things get messy if we are not paying attention.
I made a more generic SQL Server Stored Procedure that copies a GOOD NUMBER (BUT NOT ALL) of the FDM tables. This will copy users, groups, locations, mappings, etc. It does not copy Categories, or other System tables (periods, currencies)
Additionally, keep in mind if you have any custom scripts, you will need to sync the /Data/Scripts folder....
If you use this, great; however, USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR SERVER BECOMES SELF AWARE AND ATTEMPTS TO TAKE OVER THE KNOWN UNIVERSE. Seriously though, use this at your own risk........ so test it. It works for me. (NOTE this works for SQL 2005 and newer only, not 2000)

ABOUT TO RAGE QUIT - HELP : To Apple and ALL Pro Aperture Users!

Hi,
I am involved in 2 Apple Aperture only facilities, one with 2 and the other with 5 top of the line Mac Pros, all $10,000+ each with 8 core, 16GB RAM, 8.64TB of SATA disk space and dual GT120s with dual 30" Cinema and Eizo displays.
All of these Mac Pros are used for photo editing and not one of them is working properly without any hanging, glitching, beachball running, etc.
We're trying all the methods available in the forums and out and it's just not working. Out of the box, Aperture is just pure crap to me.
If you are from Apple or if you are a professional running your system without the need to wait, force quit or restart your system, PLEASE let me know how it is possible.
Otherwise, our systems are just whole pieces of junk ready to be thrown into the garbage and honestly speaking, this is just what I want to do RIGHT NOW!!!!
Aperture 3 *****! If it doesn't for you, tell me how to get it straight, and honestly, I don't understand why Apple can't get it working properly right out of the box in the first place.
We can tolerate the cost of a couple hundred thousand dollars on Apple systems, but we can't afford to waste our time and not get the job done.
If we knew Aperture 3 had these issues, we would've steered far far away in the first place.
If you can provide a clear cut solution to this problem, please do let me know. Thanks.

"Step one is to realize that thousands of photogs are using Aperture very successfully, without the issues you and a few others describe."
This is what I want to know. How in the world do you run Aperture without these problems? or do you just live with it? I'm not saying A3 completely fails for us. We do edits and print stuff every day. But we do waste a lot of time getting interrupted, shutting down and restarting... very annoying and embarrassing. It's practically junk for us in terms of stability. If you know how to keep it stable, explain it reasonably and I will give it a try.
"Ergo the problem is with your specific setups, which means troubleshooting, which requires lots of very specific info from you. The only info provided so far is some of the base hardware, but how it is configured, workflow, etc. are also critical."
Ask me what you want to know. I can tell you that even a small library of 70GB, various RAW images all imported into the library, causes problems.
"In particular some of the things that large-system users are accustomed to (like many network setups) do not always play well with single-user heavy graphics apps like PS or Aperture."
What do you mean by a large-system? The Mac Pro is only a single computer, just more powerful. All of our computers run network independently. (no sharing over the net)
"Over decades many of us on the Photoshop forums have formed the opinion that although Repairing Permissions is seldom a "fix," always Repairing Permissions immediately before and after every installation of any kind is very helpful to long term trouble free operation with heavy graphics apps."
It may be a noob question, but why do you need to repair permissions every time? If it's always needed, why not include it in the start up and shut down of A3 or for any other program?
