Migrate standalone Essbase Users/groups

Hi,
Can you please walk me through the steps required to migrate the standalone essbase application users/groups beween environments.
As i know the migration wizard does not allow users/groups to migrate when security is in Shared Services mode. Please help.
Thanks,
Pr

There are a few things you left off:
1) v11 or before
2) Shared Services or not externalized
If #1, then check out LCM -- it is awesome and will be the answer to your prayers.
If #2, and Shared Services, you need to look at the Shared Services import/export utility to get groups out, and move them to your new target.
If #2, and non-externalized security, MaxL can create the groups/user security you need at the target.

Migrate the users, groups from essbase 7.1.6 to shared services

Hi
Our current production is essbase version 7.1.6 and we are planning to migrate to EPM 11.1.2 . We would like to move the security administration from Essbase to Shared Services (want to use Native Directory).
can somebody please suggest
1) An utility that Oracle provides with EPM 11.1.2 that helps to migrate the users and groups from 7.1.6 to shared services?
2) After bringing the users groups from 7.1.6 to 11.1.2, do we need to externalize these users and groups or no need?
Appreciate the help. Thanks,

if you have LDAP/MSAD try to configure it first .That will get your users
Now using maxl
spool on to GROUP.txt
display gruoup all;
spool on to USER.txt
display user in group all;
for test purpose create a test group and a test user from the shared services.
Now using GROUP.txt
make up maxl statements to create groups(use any advanced text editor or MS excel to get your work done fast)
create group 'groupname';
now login into that shared services
go to FOundation Application group->click sharedservices->drop down native directory ->Right click on Groups and select export for edit.THat will save you Groups.csv file.
Now
1.Open that Groups.csv file
2.Using USER,txt ,paste the users in that file under their respective group.(Look for test group created that should give you an idea!!!)
3.Paste user correctly and save it to the same file Groups.csv
4.go to FOundation Application group->click sharedservices->drop down native directory ->Right click on Groups and select IMPORT for edit.
5.that will get your users into the groups.
________filters_______
Using maxl again
spool on to FILTER.txt
display filter row all;
spool on to GRPRIVILEGE.txt
display privilege group all;
Now using FILTER.txt
create maxl statements
(use any advanced text editor or MS excel to get your work done fast)
Ex: create filter app.database.filtername read/write/none/metaread on 'AREA ' ;
Using GRPRIVILEGE.txt
create maxl statements
grant filter app.databse.filtername to 'groupname';
that should get your filters created and assigned.
else you can use Advanced Security Manger

hope that should give you an idea!!!!!!!

Issue with Migration of Users/groups in Essbase

Hi,
am trying to migrate the users specific to the application using Advanced option through Migration Wizard (EAS 716)..But i see the users with the application on old box and when i check it after migration, am not able to see the users related to that application..
Moreover, i have copied the users specific to that application on old box into new box and after that tried of migrating the same application from old to new box...Even then am not able to see the users with application access..
Is this the right approach which am following? or Kindly suggest me the best way of migrating users/groups...
Thanks

If you chose the advanced option, you should have no problem migrating users and groups along with the application. You probably may have omitted those groups or members from the list. When you migrate do not change anything except server, App and DB names.

Check the Oracle reference I have provided earlier. Concept goes like this:
Important difference is that upgrading from 10g to 11g is called an "out-of-place upgrade" while upgrading to another 11g is called an "in-place upgrade," because the upgrade operates on existing files. Moving from one 11g release to another 11g release is sometimes referred to as "patching."

Follow patching and not out-of-place upgrade as you are required to upgrade component

Hi All,
We need to migrate Shared services users and groups from 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.2 version. Any help would be appreciated. Can we use CSS import export utility?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi John, In my another environment I have to migrate the users and groups from Hyperion HSS 11.1.1.2 to Hyperion shared services 11.1.2.2. I am using LCM for that, when I export the users and gropus from 11.1.1.2, it exports fine but when i import it to my 11.1.2.2 using LCM, I am getting the below errors.
Error when I try to import the groups:
ErrorEPMIE-00051: Failed to perform operation on role. Could not locate role matching filter {0} and filter attribute {1}. Please ensure that a role exists matching the filter with filter attribute.
EPMIE-00024: Failed to import all of the membership info for group test group. Invalid group members encountered. Please ensure the validity of members and its existence in their respective providers.
Errors when i try to import the users:
ErrorEPMIE-00051: Failed to perform operation on role. Could not locate role matching filter {0} and filter attribute {1}. Please ensure that a role exists matching the filter with filter attribute.
EPMIE-00020: Failed to update user 04668162 during import. Invalid identity for user. Please ensure that the user is available in the system with the identity specified in the import file.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

I successfully migrated the GDS and Database from ES to ES2. However, I am unable to retain the user groups created in DefaultDom.

Can I import the assginment of Essbase Filter to Users/Groups in HSS?

Hi, I want to assign some Essbase filters to the users/groups in Shared Services. Can I do it in a batch? (Import Utility of Shared Services?)
Thanks.

Hi,
I don't believe you can use the CSSImportExport utility to assign filters to users, this is because even though you assign the filters in Shared Services this information is still stored on the essbase side.
You should still be able to use maxl to grant the access to the filters even in Shared Services mode.
e.g. grant filter Sample.basic.exampleFilter to essUser;

Migration Assit , PC to MAC - The migration was successful, but I don't know where the files are. It says they're under a different user, 'owner' . I tried to access via sys pref/system/users&groups, but it asks for a password for owner which I don't have. What must I do to access my files?
My experience is with MS PC's I'm new with the MAC Book Pro.

Then, see if this works:
Mac OS X 10.6 Help- If you forget your administrator password
If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion you may need to do the following to access the same utility:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu. Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.

Users/groups not visible in WGM after migration. (UIDs lower than 500)

I have migrated from a 10.5 to a 10.6 server.
Some of my user & groups are not visible in the WGM. However, the user can login to the system.
I discovered that if I check Workgroup Manager > View > Show System Records, that I can see the missing users and groups. The users and groups all of UID/GID's from 100 to 130.
All of the affected users & groups were created many versions ago, probably Mac OS X 10.1 Server. The accounts that are visible are newer and have UID's starting in either at 501 or 1025. So it looks like overtime OS X server has changed what ID's are used for system vs. users.
What is the proper way to solve this problem? The WGM will let me to manually change the UID/GID, but I am worried about doing this will not change file ownerships.
Thansk!

You are correct, the ACL and or POSIX permissions will not update if you just change the UID of the group or user account. You will need to add the new UID to the directories in question. And be sure to propagate the permissions.
I would take one each group and user account and use it as a test case to discover how much is involved. Document what steps are needed to make the changes and then do them in bits and pieces.

Taking existing Plumtree user accounts and migrating them to existing group

Does anyone know if it is possible through the Local Portal API or the EDK/IDK to take existing Plumtree user accounts and migrate them to existing groups? Any risks in doing this programmatically? Is it best done through the ui manually to maintain referential and database integrity? Just trying to assess risk here and decide if we should build this kind of tool for our customer which they are requesting. Does the Local Portal API or the EDK/IDK provide capability of "adding" a group affiliation to existing Plumtree users or would this be a bad idea?

A network account is really existing only on the server but if you use "portable homefolders" (Tiger client and server) you could "migrate" the local account to a "server" one by:
Login locally as another user with administrative rights.
Change the name of the old account folder in /Users.
Remove the "old" account locally (woun't remove the "old" folder as you changed the name) only Netinfo data.
Login using the serveraccount login/password thus creating a homefolder on the server.
Logout and back in, enable portable homefolder.
Logout and then in as a local admin and remove the new user folder.
Change the name on the old userfolder to what the new one had.
I'm not a 100% sure Netinfo has the server account UID now (added by logging in and creating the portable account?) but if it does:
(http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-12077.html)
"Finding and changing UIDs across the filesystem is a one-liner command:
sudo find / -user UID -exec chown userName {} \;
(replace UID with the old UID number and userName with the new user name to associate file ownership.)"
(A portable account must have got some "kind" of UID?)
Let the machine "sync" with the server account.
If you want an "on network only" account I don't know what you need to remove locally afterwards.

Provisionusers.cmd and Migrate users/groups from Planningweb

Hi
Is the functionality of Provisionusers.cmd and migrateusers/groups from planning web similar?
I feel Provsionsuers.cmd is an alternative way to migrateusers/groups from planning web.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks and regards
krishnatilak

Hi,
The provisionusers utility basically syncs planning and essbase with the provisioning of users/groups in shared services.
If you run the utility and a user exists in shared services but has not been created in the planning database the user will be added.
If the user does not exist in the essbase security file then they are added.
If it is a user that exists and has security settings on members in planning then these filters are pushed down to essbase.
It should also remove users/groups from planning if they have been deprovisioned in shared services.
Cheers

Aso cube size after migration to essbase 9.3.1

Hy,
Our Aso cubes size after migration from essbase 7.1.2 to 9.3.1 are double and more.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thank you.
Lorenzo

You could try Essbase Security Dumper (ESD), available for download on www.dougware.com. It will export users, groups, and filters into a text dump that is easily read/modified and updated to another server.
Caveats: only works with native security, and assigns random passwords to users that are created (a log file shows all upload tasks which can be used to look up the password assignments).
It may help, although it's obviously not going to eliminate all the effort, as I don't believe there is a tool that will migrate native passwords from one box to another.
There are other security tools available there that can help recover individual databases and such.

Thankx in Advance
Sujoy

In any organisation if they are migrating from 6x to 11x, i think obviously they will upgrade the hardware also.
I never worked in the 11x but i have done the same t0 9.3.1 and below is the sample check list.
1) Install the latest version in the new hardware
2) create all the applications and databases in the new server.
3) Create all the directories that are necessary for the production procedures.
4) stop the old server
5) Take the backup of the all essbase files outlines, rule files, calc scripts and report scripts and leve0 data and batch procdures for all the cubes and move to staging area.
6) stop the new server
7) copy the files to the respective folders.
8) Start the server and start all the applications.
9) collect all the substitution variable information from the old server and redefine in the new server.
10) open all the outline and save.
11) collect all the users, groups and filter information from the old server and redefine in the new server.
12) Do the necessary changes for the batch program and test the batch by keeping the input files in the input directory
13) load level0 data and aggregate.
14) Compare and validate the data at the high level.
15) Identify a users who can quickly verify and give feed back. fix if any issues.
16) Map the source interfce to the new server.
17) Define the shedule jobs in the new server.
18) Monitor the batches carefully up to the point everything is stable.

How can I migrate from one user to another within the same computer?

My main user account in my desktop is becoming buggy after to many migrations from different computers and long time usage. I would like to migrate from one user to another user within the same computer to see if this improves my current problems.
How can I do it in a reasonably safe and quick way?
Thank you very much, cheers, Rui
iMAC, OS 10.6.8... and yes, I love Snow Leopard light and handy... and all my programs work on it...

Move small groups of files to the /Users/Shared/ folder or another location and see if the problems disappear. Moving everything to a new user account will in all probability transfer the problems.
