Alias Combination Property - Hyperion Essbase Application Manager

Hi,
I want to know how the Alias Combination Property works in Hyperion Essbase Application Manager. I tried substituting 2 different alias names for 2 different member combinations. But this did not work with the version of Hyperion essbase Application Manager(Release 6.5.7.0) I use. If anyone has ever used this property and found that this is really working, can you please explain me better?
Thanks,
Ragu

I think it got dropped before 6.5.7.
Maybe 6.0. Perhaps 5.0. I last saw it in 4.x. I always thought it was really cool and never understood why it got removed. It must be the only function that ever got removed from Essbase -- the feature set of which reminds me of the barnacle clad bottom of a boat (but in a good way).
I recently had to build a SmartView VBA add-in to do a very poor imitation of Alias Combinations. It would have been better for all around if it were just there.

Rahul,
As John pointed out, copyapp may be available between different versions of planning but is not compatible between different versions of the software. When a copyapp command runs, it connects to shared services, planning and essbase data sources and basically performs an export and import of data. It works on the premise that structure for export is same as structure for import. However, the underlying architecture for shared services (moving away from openldap) and planning tables, essbase (security outside .sec file) has changed and there you cannot just export and import between different versions of software.

Steps to migrate Hyperion Planning application from 9.2.0 to new 9.3.1 env

We currently have 9.2.0 Hyperion planning installed in a windows env. We are planning to setup a new Hyperion planning env on a totally new hardware upgraded env. Would be appreciate if some can outline steps invloved to migrate Hyperion Planning apps, forms, BR ect from 9.2.0 to the newly setip 9.3.1 env. Is there any documentation, URL's to do the above. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Any issue to look out for, setbacks details would be helpful.
Thanks..

Hi,
One way of doing it would be :-
Create a new database for your planning application 9.3.1
Create a datasource to the database
Create a fresh planning application on version 9.3.1 make sure the admin is the same name as your old 9.2 planning app
Go into the database tables for the planning app and look at table HSP_USERS, store the SID value against user 50001
Go into the database planning system tables and HSPSYS_APPLICATION, clear out the version field for the application you have created
Stop Planning
Restore the 9.2 planning application database over the one created in the first step
Go into the HSP_USERS table and update the SID for user id 50001
Start planning
Go to planning web and you should see your application when you try and log in it should take you to a migrate screen.
If you are requiring to migrate users as well, you will have to make sure you create them in Shared Services and then use the updateusers utility in the planning bin directory.
Or you could try using the copy app utility though I don't believe it is the best utility about and not sure how it handles between different versions(http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_hp_admin/ch09s01.html)

Migrating Hyperion Planning Applications from 11.1.2.2(old server) to 11.1.2.3(Development Server)

HI All,
I have 1 PSPB, 1 PFP and one OPEX Planning Applications in 11.1.2.2 old server which we are planning to move these apps into new development server having Hyperion11.1.2.3v installed. I have gone thru few documents but im still in dilemma that can we go ahead with LCM backup and export apps in old server thru LCM backup and place it in File system area of new development server like we do usually or do we need to upgrade the 11.1.2.2 old server with maintenance release and then taking LCM backup of that upgraded applications only, we can migrate in new server having 11.1.2.3?
Please guide
Thanks

A)Created a planning shell application with the same name as that of 11.1.2.2 planning application
B)Backup 11.1.2.2 planning schema
c)Restore the old schema 11.1.2.2 to new environment 11.1.2.3
D)update the SID ,Only if the userid (Default :admin) is different for 11.1.2.3 version
E)Restart the planning services
or make use of Planning Upgrade wizard
A)Logon to workspace (11.1.2.2)under Administer-> Classic Application Administration-> Planning Administration
B)Go to Classic Application Wizard ->Upgrade Wizard
or also try with the lcm way.
Thanks,
Sreekumar Hariharan

Hyperion Planning applications migration

Hello,
I'm planning to migrate Hyperion Planning applications in 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.1. What are some of the ways to migrate them? I'm thinking just do a backup of the planning sql database in 11.1.1.3 then create a planning application shell in 11.1.2.1 then restore the backup planning sql database in 11.1.1.3 over the planning sql database in 11.1.2.1. I'm not sure if this will work since the database schemas might change between 11.1.1.3 and 11.1.2.1?
Thanks.

Hello Friend,
The procedure is :
1. Take Backup(export of schema) of existing schema which you want to migrate.
2. Create a New Schema(in New/Existing Environment if database differ for PROD/NON-PROD)
3. Restore the Backup Schema to new schema(Import Backup Schema to new one).
4. Goto "App Wizard"->"Edit Data Source for that Application" and if you are using Oracle as DB(Change the User) else if you are using MS SQL SERVER as DB(change the Database)
NOTE : Change means you have to replace the New database/Schema with existing one
5. Restart Planning Services
But BR's do not migrated when you do Schema Restore, for that you have to import and export BR's into EAS.
Thanks,

Error while migrating Essbase application

HI i am on 9.3 trying to migrate an Essbase application from one server to another.
But in selection page I could find only one server name in both source and target?
Thanks

Hi John,
I am using the migration wizard, but its showing the same server name in both source and target.
If i am migrating the app from Development to UAT its showing only Development server in both source and target. i did tried it in reverse from UAT to DEV then i could find only UAT server in both source and target.
Thanks.

Migrating essbase application through shared services

Hi All,I want to migrate my essbase application (11.1.2.2) from dev to prod.
please suggest me the steps to migrate

This is a question that has been asked many times and with a little research you will have all the info you need.
As you mention Shared Services I take it you are wanting to use LCM, if so then it should be pretty easy and just read through - About Lifecycle Management
Or have a look at First-Time Lifecycle Management Migration for Essbase 11.1.1 with Shared Services Lifecycle Management 11.1.1 it is based on an older version but you get the idea.
You can even go to your favourite internet search engine and type LCM essbase and you should get lots of information to look through.
Alternatively you could user the EAS migration wizard - Migration Wizard and then you will need to export/import the data either through EAS or Maxl.
Cheers
John

Migrating Essbase Application from QA to Production

Hi Experts,
I need to migrate an Essbase application (PLNG) from QA to Production system. This migration include business rules, calc scripts, load rules, and report scripts. The metadata repository resides in an Oracle DB. I am following step:
Shutdown the Essbase application PLNG.
Move the complete files under $ARBORPATH/app/PLNG from QA to Production
Move all the Essbase data files for Essbase PLNG databases pag and ind files from QA to Production
Export the PLNG user from QA and import it to the Production Oracle DB (metadata)
I need comments whether I am following the right procedure or not. Also the PLNG application contains one database PLNG1 which I want to keep as is , so in that case, how do I need to import the metadata from QA to Prod.
Thanks
-Samar-

Hello Nome02:
I would test first what dhowehughes has said. You can find this wizard on File->Wizards->Migration menu in Essbase Administration Services Console. This usually works for all metadata with two exceptions:
1) Security issues. If you are using Shared Services, you will not be able to migrate users, provisioning,... with this method. You must use Shared Services instead. If your Essbase installation is stand-alone, then you can use this wizard to migrate security.
2) Data. You have to export data to a file/s. Transfer this/these file/s to Prod environment and import them.

Javier

LCM Migration of planning application

Hi All
I am trying to migrate Hyperion Planning Application from one environment to another. The name of the application in both the environment is different i.e. X & Y.
I took an LCM export of application X into the file system and copied the directory generated into the system where application Y resides.
Now I am planning to import this export into application Y.
Do i need to perform some changes as the server IPs are different & name of the applications are also different
Hyperion Planning Version 11.1.1.3
Regards

Do i need to perform some changes as the server IPs are different & name of the applications are also differentNo. You just need to login to Shared Services (Y), select the artifacts you exported from X and execute the migration. I've always thought Ranzal had a perfect blog post on LCM. No, I don't work for them :)
You might find it useful:

How to add alias column by generation? (Essbase integrated into OBIEE11g)

Hi all,
I implemented both English and Chinese for alias in Essbase. Now, I have imported the essbase cube into RPD. And, I would like to create alias columns for each dimension. I followed the steps in this website "http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/07/obiee-11gr1-enhancements-to-essbase-support/". However, the alias columns can only be found in Business Model and Mapping layer, but these columns cannot be found in Physical layer. Moreover, there is only ONE alias column is generated for each dimension. Even if a dimension has several generations, there is only ONE alias column is generated. However can I create alias columns for dimension by generation concept?

Hi Lcerni,
To Extract Data from sql database and insert the extracted data to datatable, please go through this article:
Use PowerShell to Collect Server Data and Write to SQL
A common task for a database professional is collecting and loading data from multiple servers into central utility database. Using the invoke-sqlcmd2 function, we can extract data from a SQL Server data source, but to load data we have to introduce a new
function called Write-DataTable. The
Write-DataTable Windows PowerShell function can be found in the Scripting Guys Script Repository.
The Write-DataTable function uses the .NET
Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopy class to load an in-memory DataTable or
DataRow array into a SQL Server table.
$dt = invoke-sqlcmd2 -ServerInstance "Z003\R2" -Database "master" -InputFile ./get-dbspace.sql -As 'DataTable'
#To load the DataTable into our SQL Server table we'll call the Write-DataTable function:
Write-DataTable -ServerInstance "Z003\R2" -Database "dbutility" -TableName "db_space" -Data $dt
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
Best Regards,
Anna Wang
