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

Issue externalizing the Essbase security to shared services

Guys,
I am facing an issue while externalizing the security to shared services in Hyperion Essbase 9.3.1. When i tried to externalize the users in Essbase 9.3.1, i am getting the error
"Error: 1051400: Analytic Services has already been migrated to Shared Services Mode". But i dont see any options when i right click on the security tab. i am seeing the same options
as we have before migrating to shared services like Externalize Users. Also when i tried to create a user in Essbase, it is giving the following error msg.
"Error: 1051484 Cannot change CSS Authenticated User to Another Authentication Type After successfully migrating that user to Shared Services". Errors are showing my security is in shared
services mode. How i can test if it is really in shared services security mode.
One other thing is, when we installed Essbase, we used 'admin', 'password' as user credentials. Does these have anything to do, as i saw in one thread that 'admin' is not recommended for Essbase while configuring shared services.
Thanks in advance

Forget this thread. I am able to rectify the issue. We forgot to give access to temp folder of EAS Console.

Unregister Essbase/EAS from Shared services

Hi Is it possible to unregister essbase, EAS from shared services? if so can some one please guide me unregister. we are on EPM 11.1.1.3
Thanks

Hi,
I've a similar issue with my customer.
In fact we have an an application with several databases and end users have read access on one, write acces on another and finally calculation accesses (but only on few calc scripts) on the last database.
SO, in shared security mode we can't reach all these requirements, beacause access are granted at the Essbase application level.
Therefore, the only solution I've found to put Essbase in stand-alone mode is to drop the essbase.sec file and recreate the essbase applications thanks to EAS or maxl commands.
For EAS I've found a topic on this forum, and the solution is to edit the olapadmin.properties file on the installation path of EAS server and to swith the value HUBProvisionEnabled=true at false.
You have to stop and start the services to do that but it works. And when started, you can use the EAS default login.

I am really in sight of some help to overcome the sitution.
Thanks.....

While executing the ./configtool.sh -forceREgistry -consol from Hyperion_HOME/common/config/9.5.0.0 - I am encountering the error -
"ERROR:~/.hyperion.<hostname. does not exist or is not found "

How to define Migration Definition File in Shared Services Console

Hi expert,
I have seen the document and it says that user can define Migration Definition File in Shared Services Console. How to do it? Can you show me the steps? Thanks.
Best Regards
Rick

Hi Rick,
I think what you are referring to is the "Save Migration Definition" button in LCM within the Shared Services web.
Basically, any thing that you do within Shared Services LCM utility (GUI) can be saved to .xml file for reusing the migration properties another time.
See this post for more information

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 authentication through Shared Services EPM 11.1.2 .2

Hi,
Any idea how to get the authentication in OBIEE through Shared Services to work?
We use Native Directory and MSAD in SS, hence we need to get the authentication through Shared Services.
We were able to run this on EPM 11.1.1.3 through LDAP server of Shared services port 28089, surely not working now.
I've tried both of the following but still no luck:
http://gerdpee.wordpress.com/2011/06/17/oracle-weblogic-and-hyperion-shared-services-11-1-1-3/
http://gerdpee.wordpress.com/2011/06/17/integration-sort-of-of-obiee-11-1-1-5-and-hyperion-shared-services-11-1-1-3/
Please help. Many thanks!!!
Cheers,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I have not been through this, but hope this helps you though. While we run the System configurator Wizard (EPM 11.1.1.2), we are now having an option to integrate EPM with OBIEE. Have you given it a shot?
I am just thinking, if we could had it configure for us, we could directly access the Subject Areas from OBIEE, just like what Mark had mentioned here : http://www.rittmanmead.com/2009/01/epm-workspace-111-and-obiee-10134-updated/
You could further look into the "SSO using CSS Token" field in the connection pool, too.
Hope this helps and I will let you know, if I have any other information.
Thank you,
Dhar

Hi All,
How can we Register essbase server to shared service in Unix server. Can anyone please let me know the procedure or steps.
Thanks

Do you mean convert essbase to shared services security as you should of registered essbase with shared services when you configured essbase.
You can convert essbase to shared services security via EAS, right click security.

Registering an application with Shared Services

I just used HfmCopyApplication.exe to migrate an application from out production environment to a newly installed test environment. However, when I open in the HFM System 9 thick client in the test environment and try to "Open Application", I can see the new application listed (so I know the migration was successful), but I get a message saying "+This application is not registered with Hyperion Shared Services. Please contact your administrator.+"
Can anyone provide some insight? I don't know how to register an application that was migrated from another environment, and I'm hesitant to create a new application with the same name because I don't want to accidentally wipe the one out that was just migrated over. I've looked through the documentation for the HfmCopyApplication, but it only says that I need to register the migrated app with Shared Services... It doesn't tell me how.
Thanks.

that usually means that Workspace has not been configured to know that HFM is in the environment as well, or that for some reason you don't have access to that option.
On the machine where Workspace web component has been installed you will need to run the System 9 configuration utility and choose the task "Reporting and Analysis" and "Configure Web Server". When you get to the screen which asks you to specify the hostname and port of the individual web servers (Financial Reporting, Web Analysis etc) make sure that HFM is ticked on (checked) and that the hostname and port for the HFM web server are correct (should be port 80). Complete the steps with Next Next Next and Finish, then restart both the Apache http server and the Workspace web server (Tomcat/Weblogic/Websphere etc). After that, the next time you log in to Workspace and go to Navigate->Administer you should see the options relating to HFM.
If it is still not there, go to Help->About->Version Details and check that a version for Financial Management component is displayed. If a version number is displayed then it something to do with your access rights (maybe a Creator / Administrator group has been set in the HFM Server / Web Config utility, try to remove it and try again?). If no version number is displayed then Workspace still doesn't know about HFM component (the above step hasn't worked).
If you are not sure speak to the person who did the installation, or if you have a support contract with Oracle then contact Oracle support.

Migrating Essbase Application

Hello,
I am trying to Migrate the Applications between two different environments . I started using Migration Wizard in EAS and when Source Essbase server and Target were selected , it is not continuing with Migration . Instead it is throwing out an Error saying Invalid Login Credentials. Any comments !!
Thanks.

If I understand your problem correctly, you add the DEV essbase server and the PROD essbase serving to the Essbase Server's in EAS. When you connect to one of them, you get "invalid credentials" correct so far?
Does both Essbase servers share the same Shared Services server?
Does the EAS server share the same Shared Services server?
If EAS and both essbase servers use the same Shared Services server, then all should be able to connect to one another usign the same credentials. If they are all provisioned within the same Shared Services server, you will see all the server names in the dropdown when you add an Essbase Server.
If one or more of the Essbase servers (developement for instance) has a different development Shared Services environment for security and you have to type in the Essbase server name to add to the EAS Essbase Server node, then the "single sign-on" between applications cannot work (such is my case). In this case, when you add the essbase server, make sure to uncheck the "sign sign-on" option and enter a valid admin user id and password.
You will have to edit the user properties under the "Adminstration Servers" node if your password changes.
Hope this helps

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.

Essbase registration to Shared Services failed - Hyp 11.1.1.3 on 2 Win XP

Hi All,
I have Hyperion 11.1.1.3 installation on two XP Pro machines. Pure system, with no global policies, firewalls, etc. My users are in Administrators group. Computers are not in any domain also.
On first server (called HypTSerwer1) there is: Foundation (Shared Services Web Application and OpenLDAP Service)
On second server (called HypTSerwer3) there are: Oracle DB (10R2) + Essbase Services Server 32-bit
I've configured Shared Services, I can log as admin to Shared Services Console without any problem. Validation report contains all greens.
But when I try to configure HypTSerwer3 (essbase) I get: Register with Shared Services Failed. Validation report contains one failure in Hyperion Foundation (
EXT: External Authentication Check Native Directory external authentication provider configuration
Error: Provider is not reachable
Recommended Action: Check Shared Services Configuration
)(OpenLDAP is green and runs fine)
In HypTSerwer3 in C:\Hyperion\logs\config\SharedServices_Security_Client.txt I found:

The part connect to at 28089* looks strange for me, as it sugests, that there is no server name, only port.
I really don't know what to do next. I reinstalled it many times, checked if all services are running. Deployed it with Tomcat or WebLogic 9.2. And always with the same result. When I install everything in only one machine, than it is working fine.
Thanks for any help or suggestion.

Just out of interest why have you used OAS as it is pretty much dead product now and is not used in future releases.
Anyway I am not sure why you have closed ports between those servers, you will end up spending a lot of time trying to open all the required ports between the servers.
Can you not get all the ports open for a time just to check it definitely is a ports issue.
It is probably also worth checking the following spreadsheet out - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/epm-components-communications-fd-11-128629.xls
It highlights the ports used in communication.

How do I remove previous configuration of Essbase Server from Shared Services?

Hi All,
I'm trying to reinstall Essbase Server (on a new server; we've upgraded the Essbase Server hardware) and reload data but the current install believes I've already configured it despite removing EssbaseCluster-1 from Shared Services Application Groups. Is there something else I have to do to get the new install of Essbase Server configured as a new Essbase instance?
Thanks,
Ryan

I did the install as PTH0RC and my inventory.xml is configured correctly, but I get the following message trying to run a simple view
C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\config\11.1.2.0\resources\instance>epmsys_registry view

LCM Migration - Instance name? Shared services project Name ? Data source?

Situation
* We have hyperion 11.1.1.3.24
* Objective - trying to perform a LCM file-migration from our DEV environment to UAT
* DEV has only one PMA enabled Planning Application (“budget”), few FR reports & other related artifacts.
So far
* Successfully Exported these 4 (EPMA, Shared-services, Planning & FR) from our DEV
* When trying to import EPMA into our UAT, noticed the status shows Failed. (Noticed Similar claims have been reported in other posts as well.)
Another dilemma that I have it what should I enter on these Instance Name, Shared services Project name & Data source.
* Instance Name ===> ? Not sure. how to find this?
* Shared services project ===> Haven't created one at all. So, which one should I use OR how to find this out ?
* Data Source ===> I guess, this would be the EPMA repository database name ?
Although I can Migrate all the Artifacts into our UAT (as identical to our DEV), Migration status has shown as "Failed". Is this because of the fact I skipped the Destination options with blank values (for Instance, shared-services & data-source). Has anyone ever had success on this Migration step.
OR Should I disregard this migration status, just because we can see all identical artifacts in our UAT.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you log into EPMA and pick an application and select deploy (don't worry you don't have to deploy you can cancel it before you do so),
it will display a popup which will have the
Instance Name (usually default), Shared Services Project (drop down will display different application groups available), Data Source (this is the name you gave when you created the datasource for the application)

Essbase issue on Shared Services OEPM11.1.1.2

Hi All,
I have one issue of Application Group created in Shared Services for Essbase...
If we delete the Application group for Essbase how can we get back it..Is there something stored as a backup after installation and
configuration...
I tried to reconfigure essbase with Shared Services and it is successfull...but there was a problem with Global Analytic Application not existing
with Shared Services during Essbase Startup...
Can you please help me in this regard?
Thanks,

Dear Experts,
This is something related to the Essbase Project created in Shared Services...I think the structure in OEPM11.1.1.2 is shown as
Application Group
----- Applications
----- Global Analytic Application (Problem is lying in this application during Essbase startup after reconfiguring with HSS)
Suppose if we delete the project how can we get back the Essbase Project if it is already in Shared Services Security Mode..
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks,
