Migrating dimension hierarchies between 2 different essbase applications

Other than manual copy & paste do we have any other option or utility to migrate dimension hierarchies between 2 essbase cubes?
Edited by: 1002514 on May 4, 2013 7:51 AM

If you happen to use ODI then it could be achieved using the "LKM Hyperion Essbase METADATA to SQL" KM to extract the metadata with the "MEMBER_FILTER_VALUE" option to define which member to start extracting from and then set the "MEMBER_FILTER_CRITERIA" with one of the following values - "IDescendants,Descendants,IChildren,Children,Member_Only,Level0,UDA" and then load the extracted metadata in your target databases dimension.

How to share HttpSession between different web application ?

I have two web application ( ie two different war files), I discovered that the jsp in the two war files are not able to share the HttpSession, may I know how to you share the HttpSession between two different web application ?

From the api doc:
"Session information is scoped only to the current web application (ServletContext), so information stored in one context will not be directly visible in another."
You can not share a Session object between web apps. You can create your own sessions using a database, textfile or hashmap. Do a search on the O'Rielly web site for psuedo-sessions.

Data loading from planning forms into two different essbase application

Hi All,
I have 2 different planning application into 2 different planning and essbase server but the application repository for these applications is same which is lying into 3rd server. Due to this when I add the member into any application it will automatically reflect into another application because the application repository is same. When I refresh the applications the meta data is loaded into there corresponding Essbase server.
My problem is:
When I enter the data figure into the planning form it is going into there corresponding Essbase cube. But I want when user enter the data into 1 planning application form it should be reflected into both Essbase application , LIKE METADATA which is not happening. We are doing this for fail over support.

Hi,
I am sorry but that is not how I look at, the point of failure for a planning application would the web server, repository, essbase database...
If it is the web server element then surely you would have two planning web servers pointing to one planning application and one repository.... then if one web server went down to switch to the other web server?
You won't get a planning application to write to two seperate essbase applications, if you want failover on essbase then you will need to look at alternative methods.

How to distribute html component between different web applications?

Hello. I have a project which consists of several modules. Each module is a separate web-application which can be deployed on a separate application server. All modules must have one menu. The problem is how to implement the menu.
It would be good to maintain it as a separate project and to distribute it between modules as a jar archive. I have an idea to create a custom tag library which will generate and insert html code where it is necessary. But modules can look different, they can use jsf, richfaces or jsp for the page rendering and the menu must suit the page. So I think that the data and the rendering mechanism should be separated somehow.
Thanks.

Starting with Servlet Spec 2.3 (I think) the push has been towards complete web applications; even if it means duplicate files in each (disc space is exponentially cheaper than it was a decade ago).
The easiest way to manage duplicate files is to keep a single copy for development and use build tools like ANT, Maven, etc.. to assemble your web applications at build time.

How to pass the security context between different OC4J servers

My problem is the following: it seems that there is no standard J2EE solution in a production environment with more than one J2EE application server products to pass the security context between different J2EE application servers.
I have a distributed application on two different OC4J servers, let's say that we have the web layer (with servlets) deployed on a server instance Server1 and the EJBs deployed on a second OC4J server Server2. If an user is authenticated at the web tier (in Server1) it gets a Principal object. It seems that the same Principal object cannot be used for authorization in the second application server, Server2. This means that in the server Server2 the authentication should be done again. It means that it should be duplicated the mechanism for authentication on Server2 (together with the passwords, users, and so on), thing that is a clear disadvantage of this approach.
Do you know if there is a specific OC4J solution for this approach?
Thank you,
Marinel

I have a simmilar issue? Did you succeeded to find a solution?

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.

AD Migration from one domain to another domain between different Forest.

Dear Team,
We have a domain named "test.gov.in" .Now we want migrate all the users,computers,groups,GP ....etc in to our new domain "abc.net".Operating system of the source DC and destination Dc is same (Windows 2003 32 bit)..
Pls provide me the steps to migrate one domain to another domain between different forest
Thanks
Anurag

Would agree with Christoffer and migrate using ADFS but before you can do this you will need to set up a trust between the two domains. Once this has been accomplished then you can run ADMT.

How to prevent re-login when switching in the application between different module in 6.1.1.1.11?
Please help me to figure out this or resolve this issue?

Be sure to check that your Remoting Container service is running. If it is not, restart the service, and if it goes down again, check the event logs.
Make sure that the AuthenticationBridgeService is enabled in your EnvironmentSettings.config, and the remoting container user is configured using the SetupAssistant.
<RemotingContainer>
         <ConfigInfo configChildKey="key">
               <add key="UserID" value="@@VAR:Prodika.RemotingContainer.SysUser@@" />
         </ConfigInfo>
        
         <RemoteServices configChildKey="name">
             <Service
                 name="AuthenticationBridgeService"
                 port="@@VAR:Prodika.AuthenticationBridge.Port@@"
                 isActive="true" />
If the Remoting Container Service fails, please contact Support with details from the event logs.

Restore Essbase Application between servers

Hi all,
i have come up with a new thing here as we have 2 different essbase servers in two machines. i have copied the app folder from machine1 which has got essbase server instance 1, and pasted to the machine2 which has got essbase server instance 2.
1. stop the essbase service
2. copied the app folder to the new machine with essbase server 2
3.restart the service
please let me know if i have to change the server name anywhere.
Cheers

Don't do it that way, add both servers in EAS and then copy the application across through EAS.
You will also need to export the data from the source dbs and then import the data into the target dbs.

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

Any way to limit POV selections between different dimension?

Hi,
For Hyperion Planning:
My users continuously ask for to limit POV selections between different dimensions.
For example,
Dimension Entity: West, South, East, North
Dimension StoreType: Mega, Super, Normal
However, the following combinations make sense in current business context.
West - Mega
West - Super
West - Normal
South - Normal
East - Normal
If users select East - Mega, this does not make sense since there is no such combinations in current business context.
Do any one know a way to limit the wrong selection?
Thank you in advance.

Time Balance is set to Last for EPMA Essbase application in Essbase Outline

Hello Gurus,
Following is my scenario -
I have an EPMA Essbase applications that I have deployed from Workspace.
I have observed that even though the Time Balance property for members for the accounts dimension are set to Balance (as seen in Dimension Library) in EPMA, after I deploy the application the dimensions are tagged as TB Last in Essbase outline (as seen in EAS).
I am not aware of the functional part much, would really appreciate someone's help on this issue.
Thanks.
hyperionEPM

Here is the doc that explains time balance settings in Essbase:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_dbag/dcatimse.html
Here is the doc that explains time balance settings in Planning:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/hp_admin_11122/ch12s04s08s01.html
And here's a quick cross reference between Essbase and Planning:
ESSBASE / PLANNING
TB Last = Balance
TB None = Flow
TB First = First
TB Avg = Average
In general, Income Statement accounts are "Flow", and Balance Sheet accounts are "Balance" (unless you're storing activity, and not balances). Statistical accounts are a mixed bag.
Hope this helps,
- Jake
