Hi John,
I've installed Foundation, Planning, Reporting and Analysis in First server. Now when i launch installTool.cmd in the second server to install HFM and FDQM, under Foundation services "Weblogic Application server" is automatically selected and is not in selectable mode. Is it must ? How about "Oracle HTTP Server" and "Foundation Services Web Applications". Do we need these 2 for HFM installation ?
From Reporting and Analysis category, what components that i've to select ? Do we need "FrameWork Web Application" and "Framework Services and common Libraries" for HFM installation? What else we've to select from Reporting and Analysis ? my intention is to use workspace and FR and Web Analysis from the first server for HFM. Pls. advice
Thanks,
PVR

After that I am moving to Application server clusters
Am getting this error :

Could you pls suggest me how to come out from this step?

On the connection tab for your .UDL file, have you clicked the Test Connection button to make sure the connection details specified in the .UDL are working?

Planning & HFM Certifications - Advice Appreciated

Hello All – For those on the board that are certified Hyperion professionals (Planning and HFM). I’d really appreciate your input as to the value of these certifications both from the perspective of
1) Getting onto projects
2) Being able to perform on the project. Does studying for and completing the certification provide you with the skills to be successful on projects.
I’ve currently been using Planning since 3.0 but don’t have the certification. My knowledge is functional - not a developer.
I’m also looking at getting the HFM certification as well but have never used this tool so I’m wondering if it’s worth getting since I’d like to get onto these types of project.
I do have an accounting background and understand consolidation etc.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Hi,
I will agree with that point only in 50%.
You are talking about 3 different situations:
1. When You are a technical administrator
2. When You are a business administrator or a Planning/HFM user
3. The most important: when You are a consultant
You can use planning or HFM for 5 years and have no knowledge about the system.
I see that kind of situation when I go to customers (accontants,managers and so on) and they have no idea how exactly system is working. In example what is the difference between Contribution Total and Parent Total. How to put data correctly. How to set correct POV.
Study for cert gives You a huge knowlegde and understanding how system is designed.
I'm not saying that it gives You everything. I'm saying that it really helps You to understand the system.
If you have such kind of possibility try to prepare Yourself for cert.

Karol

Can OS X Server 10.6 reverse proxy be setup to route port traffic 5003 (FileMaker Server) to 2 seperate servers (FM 11 and FM 12)?

Can OS X Server 10.6 reverse proxy be setup to route port traffic 5003 (FileMaker Server) to 2 seperate servers (FM 11 and FM 12)?

In your scenario, how is the 'OS X 10.6 Server' supposed to identify which FM machine to proxy the connection to?
The FM client uses a proprietary protocol, so it's not something simple like HTTP. Off hand I don't know of any way the server can accept arbitrary connections on port 5003 and know which FM server to relay it to.
Two options come to mind. One is to nix the OS 10.6 Server altogether - I don't understand this machine's purpose in your network - the second is to setup different ports on the OS X 10.6 Server machine and map each port to a different FM server, e.g. 5003 -> FM11, 5004 -> FM12, then you configure the remote client to connect to a different port number based on the server they want to connect to. I haven't used FM client in a long time to know if this is supported on the client side, but I'm guessing it is.
Either way, using a proprietary protocol, there's no way for the proxy machine to be able to filter the traffic on any given ports.

Planning, HFM Problem throught Worspace

Hi,
I was intalled the Hperion Planning, HFM (both 9.3.1) in my server(windows 2003) and the Sharedservices & Workspace 9.3.1 also on the same server and deployed with Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.3.1, I am able to open the workspace but while trying to create planning application or trying to open HFM application I am getting the error like
Please make sure that the Application you are trying to launch is registered with SharedServices.Shared Services must be running for the feature you are trying to access.Close the current browser window and try logging into workspace again after a little while.Contact your administrator for further information.
I have created the Projects undre the SharedServices and given the sufficiante privialges.
Please help on this. Thanks in advance.
Regards
KumarK

Hi,
Try starting up just the following services
Hyperion S9 OpenLDAP
Hyperion S9 Shared Services
Hyperion S9 Apache 2.0
Hyperion S9 Planning
Hyperion S9 BI+ 9.3 Core Services 1
Hyperion S9 BI+ 9.3 Workspace
And maybe the essbase service, then try logging into the workspace and accessing planning, do you still get the message ?

New Exchange 2010 installation. HUB and CAS on two seperate servers, need two certificates?

Title says it all. I have already completed the Exchange server installation with 2010 R1 on 2008 R2 sp1 servers in HyperV
I have two physical servers in one rack. HVHost1 one holds EXCHHUB and EXCHMB1 HVHOST2 holds EXCHCAS and EXCHMB2
do I have to generate and request two seperate SAN certificates one for the CAS and one for the HUB? or will one certificate do the trick?
If I can use one certificate, do i need to do anything special to apply it to both servers or just let the wizard do its thing?
Thanks,

Make sure you are selecting the correct server in EMC when installing the Cert.

Hardware recommendations for Planning & HFM

We currently have Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3 running on three servers (one dedicated for RDBMS, one dedicate for Essbase, and another that is running everything else (EPMA, Planning, Financial Reporting, Shared Services, Workspace, Calc Manager, etc).
We are going to implementing HFM and upgrading to 11.1.2 for our current components and I have reviewed the server sizing for 500 users (175 active) for Planning and HFM. I was wondering if anyone had any experience running both Planning and HFM together and if I need to bump up the server specs for anything to run both smoothly?
The EPMA Installation Start Here recommends the following for Planning for Windows Servers:
Web Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
Essbase Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 8 GB RAM
Other Services Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
RDBMS Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
And recommends for HFM:
Web Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
Financial Management Server: 8 x 3 GHZ + 16 GB RAM
Other Services Server: 2 x 3 GHZ + 8 GB RAM
RDBMS: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
The Essbase server for Planning will be dedicated, and the Financial Management Server for HFM will be dedicated, but if we wanted to share the Web Server and Other Services Server for both Planning and HFM, do you think we need to size these servers a bit more robustly to handle both HFM and Planning?
We are looking at 8 x 2.66 GHZ with 32 GB of memory for our Web Server, Other Services Server and Financial Management Server (essbase and RDBMS are sized fine for now), so I just wanted to get some input from the community before we make the recommendation to go ahead with that hardware.
Thanks!

Depending upon your Essbase/Planning Application you might need to increase the Ram. Remember you plan the architecture for 3 - 5 years in mind. Its a good practice to have variable like number of users increase per year, new applications, evolving data-set etc into consideration.
In one of the post, one of the expert suggested to have 2Gb per essbase application.

Issue with HFM installation

Hi friends,
I am using iss 6.0 for web server and tomcat as application server during installation.WE are using 2 systems
t1-windows xp
t2- windows 2003 server
I am aware that iis5.1 in windows xp is not suppoted as per the support matrix.Initially i installed everthing i.e.
shared services, BI client and services,UI,HFM,EPM,tomcat ,iis(ap server,web server repectively)
In this scenario everthing was working fine except one problem
I was able to create an application using HFM win32 client and load data on it.But when i open the same application in workspace it gives me "appcontainer not found" error. I think that was because iis5.1 was unable to host 2 sites - HFM and EPM simultaneously
Second step:
To get rid of this issue i took t2 system and installed only HFM and EPM webserver part only and HFM win32 client.
HFM virtual directory doen't appear on iss6.0 so I manually created the one giving it the path of my "WEB" Folder created inside Financial management.I accessd it from other system and i was getting the default page printing "HFM"
Third step:
Nw i configured Financial management in t1 system.In product instance config i gave it the path of t2
as webserver location and it is scucceded . Then during financial management config., i got 5-6 tabs to be configured
like appserver,server-cluster registration,web server etc. I am just trying to reconfigure web server tab. I am trying to give UNC path for the HFM web folder installed in t2 server.But it is giving me "an unknown error occurred"
More questions:
1) is tomcat supported as app server in windows xp???
2) I saw iis, Apache HTTP server(web servers for HFM) ,and tomcat(appserver for HFM And EPM) and mod jk module
I am unable to understand the process flow of HFM.And how all these are used in the entire process of client request and server response.
3) How these app and web servers can be distributed to different systems
4)What should be the ideal configuration if we want to install all the above modules + FDQM in multiple systems
Pls help me out if u know any of the answer

If it says the host doesn't have enough memory, then you have too little memory available for vbox to use. How much RAM does your host have? I'm currently testing in vbox as well on Debian, I gave it 1GB of RAM and it's more than usable in cli, a little slow once you have a desktop environment up but it works. If you have less than 2GB of ram try giving it 512MB or more. Remember to close anything that you don't need to free used memory.
Since you haven't installed the base system, just make a new machine and pay attention to the initial settings.
Also, check your email.

Using common shared services for Planning & HFM

Hi All,
I've already installed Planning and shared services in one server. Now i would like to install HFM on other server, but would like to use the shared services on the first server. In this case, during the installation on the second server, do i need to uncheck the Foundation services ? What other products that i've to uncheck. How about Reporting & Analysis Framework ? Pls. advice
Thanks,
PVR

You will need to only carry out the following step in regards to foundation on the HFM server
"When you configure in a distributed environment, you must configure the Shared Services database on every machine. On the first machine, you are setting up the Shared Services Registry. For configurations on subsequent machines, choose “Connect to a previously configured Shared Services database.” In this case, you are letting the machine know the location of the Shared Services Registry."
Then configure the HFM components.
Cheers

Planning V11 Installation - Register with Shared Services: Failed

Hi,
I have just installed the Hyperion Planning Version 11. The installation was a piece of cake. I selected all the relevant components and the installer took care of the installation and the installation sequence. When I tried the configuration, I went ahead with the configuration of foundation services first and decided to do the rest of the components later. When I completed the shared services configuration I started the configuration of the remaining components.
All of the various elements got configured correctly except for Registration with Shared Services. I have since then restarted the machine several times, made sure Shared Services is running (I can also login to interop from the browser - however provisioning features arent working), and I have essentially redone the whole configuration again and again.
Can anyone please advise?
Shehzad

Hi,
Glad to hear you think the installation was a piece of cake!!
I think you may get this error when configuring a product selecting "perform first time configuration".
Are you using a single repository for all your products?
Could you maybe recreate new databases, including shared services and try again?

HFM Installation , UDL Doubt

Hi,
I am trying to install the HFM 9.3.1 in one server called Appserver and my database is in another server called dbserver. My doubt is while configuring HFM its asks for the data file link file (beside DCOM user info). As i dont have the Oracle in my Appserve so i am not able to see the * Oracle Provider for OLE DB* while creating the UDL file. So can i create the UDL file in DB server in a shared folder then can i access from the Appserve as the servers were in network. Or can i install the oracle client in Appserver and create the UDL in Appserver it self and use it
Please suggest me if anybody have other option
Regards
KumarK

You definitely have to install and configure the Oracle client on the application server and also create the UDL on appserver. The OLEDB interface has to be on the server that runs HFM.
