OBIEE and Essbase security pass through

Hi All,
I'm using Essbase as a data source for OBIEE. Right now I'm trying to use Hyperion security to pass through OBIEE. I've setup OBIEE to use Hyperion Shared Services as custom authenticator and Hyperion users can log in. However, I'm having problem passing through the users to Essbase. I've changed the Essbase connection pool to use :USER and :PASSWORD. When I tried to check for global consistency, I'm getting the following error
[38098] The password in the Connection Pool '"server"."Connection Pool"', associated with the Repository Initialization Block '"SUB_VAR_BLOCK_server"', contains the use of :USER or :PASSWORD.
When I tried to open any existing Essbase reports from OBIEE, I'm getting this error (as expected)
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. Essbase Error: Login fails due to invalid login credentials (HY000)
Any ideas on how to get around this issue? Thanks
Regards,
Gerd

Hi Gerd,
Could you please explain in detail how you have setup OBIEE to use Hyperion Shared Services as custom authenticator so that Hyperion users can log into OBIEE?
Please provide the steps and custom authenticator function?
we would need to implement it fromm scratch. So, your help will be greatful.

  • OBIEE and ESSBASE federated queries..

    Hello all ,
    I am working on a requirement that requires configuring federated queries using OBIEE and Essbase as an aggregation layer. I am able to configure everything except for one dimension where this dimension in Essbase uses shared members. Any help /guidance is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Sunil

    Thanks for the response. I did go further from that day on the issue. But this is where I currently am stuck.
    The issue is on this:;
    1. Have a Measure in Essbase at a Grain higher than then OBIEE grain for a dimension and I need to create a report which calculated based on both the essbae measure and the OBIEE measure.
    I have to create a report which would take the Essbase Measure, Divide by the OBIEE measure and display the value (Note: This OBIEE measure and the grain is only available at the OBIEE layer)
    Ex:
    Essbase Info:
    D1 D2 Amount
    x y 200
    OBIEE Info:
    D1 D2 D3 Percentage
    x y z1 30
    x y z2 70
    Desired Output
    Is
    D1 D2 D3 New Amount
    x y z1 60
    x y z2 140
    The behavior I am noticing is , since D3 has no relationship to Essbase Measure, the report results with a null for the Essbase Measure (Amount in this case). I understand this is natural but am not able to figure out any other means to address this requirement. I am exploring using EVALUATE and MDX, but am not sure, if I would be able to get the desired output.
    Thanks

  • OBIEE and Essbase- Would you yet? Do you Yet?

    How many of you are using OBIEE with Essbase? IF you are does it give you the functionality you need? Is it better to wait for the next release where tree structures and asymitrical hierarchies are supported? I have mixed feeling about the current implementation and want to get others feedback

    Hi GlennS,
    1. For one of our projects ,we started with OBIEE with essbase, and we ran into issues with the current available version of OBIEE
    2. The issues mainly being , the available versions of OBIEE is not OLAP aware .So, team has faced issues with hierarchies..etc.Though, there is a way to make it OLAP aware, we were not pretty happy with overall experience.
    3. I have heard that next release of OBIEE is very much OLAP aware and would have no issue with essbase. So, we are waiting for the release .
    4. Others , pls share your experiences

  • Shared services security and essbase security

    recently upgraded to sys 9 and now use shared services 931
    we used to have security at essbase level previously and now its all Shared services..
    now i have so many concerns
    Can we automate the security just like I used to automate in essbase earlier...
    or can we automate secuirty in essbase and them sync it to Shared services??
    I know that we change security settings in SS and then sync it to essbase but is the other way around possible???
    IF yes HOW?
    IF NOT - can we automate SS security which reflects to essbase...
    I have to go through the prod doc and I'll do that very soon but any suggestion on this would really help me out..
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    can you please write more about which products and version are you using and on which operating system name and version.
    Why do you use Shared Services? Are you using only Essbase server or any other server? If you use only Essbase server there is probably no need of using Shared Services.
    If you need only Essbase you can see my info about installing Essbase without Shared Services: hyperion essbase installation
    Please provide more info, so that we on forum can help you.

  • Frequent Error in Reports (Connection between OBIEE and Essbase)-Urgent

    Hi All,

    My connection pool configuration:

  • Clarification regarding Shared services and essbase security

    Hi,
    Sorry for the silly doubt. We have shared services to manage security, essbase v 9
    1. to assign calc access for users, do i assign calc scripts under databases in group security and assign users to groups in shared services or do it via access control in shared services?
    2. If in shared services i havent given calc access but in eas user belongs to a group with that particular calc script access, which would take precedence?
    Regards,
    N shah

    In shared services, when i click on a particular application under the essbase server under the projects folder, there are cases where there are no users or groups under the 'available users and groups'. Why is this so? groups and users are supposed to be there.
    Also, in a different application, i saw one available user. however when i try to provide calc access. its not changing anything. I select the calc script and then click the check mark. however nothing changes. The calc access for the user is specified as none. When i login to excel with the same user id, i can see all the calc scripts available for the user. Where are the details being picked up from.??

  • OBIEE and Essbase - Displaying all member names together

    Hi
    I hope you can help.
    When we import our Essbase cubes and add the alias tables and drag the cube to the BMM layer we get a column were we can search the alias for all the member in the hierarchy, independently of the generation (let's say Account - Default where Account is the dimension name and Default is  the name of the alias table).
    This is a very useful feature that I would like to extend to the member name but I cannot figure out how  to do it. All I am getting in the BMM layer is a column per generation but not one for the whole hierarchy.
    My question is: Is there any way of doing what I want and how  could I implement it?
    I am on OBIEE 11.1.6.10
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Juan

    Hypercubes are cubes built for analytical purposes which you can pivot, rotate, slice-n-dice etc anyways you want and each intersection will bring back some value. That makes them super dense and perfectly suited for dashboarding purposes as well since any dynamic change of point-of-view, axis of analysis and the likes will always yield a result and you can better optimize things for performance.

  • Planning and Essbase Security Issue

    Hi, we just upgraded to 11.1.2 and have been noticing occasional loss of security on LDAP groups. Hyperion SS refreshes the LDAP groups from LDAP periodically and the Workspace/Planning/Essbase servers refresh cache from SS. However, some times, these cache refreshes fail leaving users without any access. We have been working with Oracle to find a resolution, however, haven't had much of a luck so far.
    Just wanted to check if anyone has faced and resolved such an issue. 
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Could you please explain more on "Hyperion SS refreshes the LDAP groups from LDAP periodically and the Workspace/Planning/Essbase servers refresh cache from SS" what kind of refresh is it and what does it provide and what does cache refresh mean from SS?
    Am a beginner but still will try suggesting if you explain things.
    Thanks

  • How to create a site and add security groups through code: scripts, csom, ... ?

    Hi,
    I'm new to CSOM and are looking for a way to create sites in SharePoint Office365 and especially add user to it with a specific role eg. 'visitor' or 'owner'.
    I use this code to add sites from a csv file, so far so good.
    But now I want to add security groups based on the csv file and assign a role. The security groups allready exists.
    and also how to add a user with a 'owner' role for some sites.
    That would make my life easier :-)

    Hi,
    The command above about creating a group only works for the root site of the site collection, because the scope of the user group is site collection level, these groups
    can be used in all the sites in this site collection.
    With the existing groups in the root site, we can add users into them and grant specific permissions of a specific sub site to these groups.
    Here is a demo about how to assign permission to a group using Client Object Model(though in C#) for your reference:

  • IMovie 5.0.2 and VCR- Camcorder Pass Through not working

    Anyone have any idea why I can't plug my VCR into my Sony-TRV27 via A/V cables, then plug my camcorder into my Powerbook via firewire and capture the VHS footage. According to all documentation I have read, I should be able to use my camcorder as an Analog to Digital converter and capture in iMovie.
    I can see the VHS video on the camcorder but as soon as I plug into the CPU and open iMovie the screen turns blue.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Powerbook G4 1.67   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Had the same symptom at first.
    iMovie wouldnt record if the camera was feeded by the signal of a VHS machine.
    I went along and solved it.
    The used SONY Camera would allow to actually REC a signal in VCR mode (used to be and still soemtimes is called PLAYBACK mode). You have to find a Record button (or a pair of, as in our case) and actually record the VHS signal onto the camera - then iMovie would gladly show the image as well.
    Unfortunately this solution has the drawback of wearing the camera mechanics off because you actually record soemthing you dont really use.

  • Difference between HFM and Essbase user security in 9.3.1 version

    Hi,
    Could any one explain the differences between Hyperion Essbase and HFM security setup using HSS in 9.3.1
    Thanks
    Edited by: user10305642 on Jul 13, 2009 12:39 AM

    HFM and Essbase security is totally different... HFM uses security classes while Essbase uses security filters.
    The way you assign security is also different.
    HFM also has more roles than Essbase.
    You will find further info in the Security Administration Guide:

  • Write back from OBIEE into Essbase

    Hi everyone,
    Questions about write back from OBIEE (11.1.1.7) into Essbase (EPM 11.1.2.3).
    First of all, did anyone manage to do it ?
    Secondly, what are the constraints ? (number of cells updated limited, only level 0 of the Essbase database can be updated, only existing data can be updated or things like that ?)
    Thirdly, what are the best practices regarding OBIEE or Essbase security when we implement write back  ?
    Thanks for answers

    Hi,
    writing to Essbase from OBIEE exist for many years...
    In the past it was doing via a JSP page but since last year it's supported directly with a simple UPDATE statement.
    Have a look at SampleApp 406 (current version), in the Essbase examples there is also the write back using the UPDATE statement.
    Just keep in mind one thing: OBIEE is not supposed to be an entry form for Essbase or any other system, it can be used for editing values so you can dynamically change params for what-if calculations (running a calc script after updating a value) and that kind of things.

  • Pass Through Chapters Title

    OK, I'm begging you. I searched for this problem and found it is something that others are having problems with. The answers were unintelligible.
    I have a DVD menu with Pass Through. It says Greece 2007 as it scrolls.
    The iMovie that I dragged is called that so that is probably how it got it's name.
    On the menu there is Play Movie and Chapters.
    When you click Chapters and go to that Pass Trough sub-menu it scrolls Pass Through.
    I cannot get it to say anything else.
    I have changed the name Chapters on the 1st menu. That didn't do it.
    I have added a text box to the chapters sub-menu, still no luck.
    Please let me know what I am doing wrong, I'm not an idiot but please try and be specific on your instructions.
    Thanks in advance.

    Michael,
    I just used this theme. When you've imported your video into iDVD and chosen the Pass Through template for you DVD presentation, go to the menu bar at the top of your screen. Choose 'Advanced' and then 'Apply Theme to Project'. That should do it. You can do the same for the Chapters page.
    Hope this helps

  • Groups and ESSBASE Filters

    Can anyone tell me we can import the Data level filters for Groups from ESSBASE?
    If so, do we have any documentation on how to perform this?
    Thank you,

    You can't import them but they will be applied to all selections if you use integrated access control between OBIEE and Essbase (i.e. hand over :USER, :PASSWORD in the connection pool rather than generic conneciton credentials).
