Planning metada within Shared services

Hello all,
I see the Planning product when I access the Deployment Metadata in Shared Services.
Is there a way I can remove that? Because we uninstalled Planning from this box (manually as the automatic way failed) but the metadata for Planning product stills there and when we try to register Planning again it fails.
Would anyone have an answer?
Thanks

Metadata in case of Planning resides in RDBMS and uninstalling won't drop the Planning Meta data tables. I think you have two options to test this :-
- Try to install using a different schema
- Take a backup of the existing Meta data (if you need it) drop the tables from the schema.

Registering Planning app with shared services

Hello all.
I created a new classic planning app (11.1.1) with the intention of mirroring our production app. I've copied that outline from the production app to the new app. I've also exported the sql server database used by the production planning app and restored it to the new app. Everything seems fine so far.
My question is about the registration of the new app in shared services. The production app has about 35 MSAD authenticated users. What would be the process for registering the new app with shared services and setting up users from the production app. I didn't specifically register the new app when it was created.
I'm a little apprehensive. I don't want to do anything that might affect the current production app. How can I register the new app and add users without affecting the current production app. Is it as simple as going to Administration -> Applications Settings and clicking on "Register Shared Services" and setting up new users? Or are there other steps that need to occur?
Any help is very much appreciated.

You shouldn't need to register as you would of created a blank planning application at first that will be registered with Shared Serices, then the provisoning of users/groups in shared services for the planning application would be done, then you would migrate the relational database across.
You wil probably need to edit the shared services URL from within planning but no need to reregister.

Planning App Settings - Shared Services URL grayed out

I am int he process of doing a clean install of epm 11.1.2.2. I have created a planning app in and the shared services url under application settings is incorrect. The name of the RDB server was picked up instead of the planning server. I need to change this because lcm is unable to get artifact listing for planning app. Does anyone know how or where I would go to change this? The operating system is Windows 2008 R2 with a MSSQL for the RDB.

Hi John,
I tried unregistering and reregistering, logged into the app through workspace which didn't change anything. I haven't been able to locate the url to connect directly to planning. Can you help? Also, I wanted to mentioned that in the earlier version of planning, 11.1.1.2, the shared services URL is not grayed out. When I saw that I thought it might be a security issue but the user has full rights.
Thanks,
Mike

Planning is not getting displayed under shared services

I have installed essbase,Bi Plus and Planning.Esbase and Bi Plus were configured and were successful.I have completed the configuration of planning also the product instance and Data source step.
When i log on to shared services i am not seeing the planning and also the "Navigate-->Application" menu is missing in the workspace.
I have installed 9.3.1
Thanks,
Mugundhan

Hi John,
Thanks for the help.I missed to furnish that i have created app using the app wizard.I dont know how this issue got fixed, i have restarted the servers and now i can see the planning app under shared services but still i am not getting the planning menu in the workspace. I have provisioned the full rights to the login id. I think i am missing some point here.
Thanks,
Mugundhan

Planning not seen in Shared services

Hi,
I have installed Planning and ran the configuration utility and everything went succesfully. But i am not able to see planning in the shared services. I am not able to login into planning as the user is not provisioned
Please suggest

For essbase to be see in shared services you need to convert essbase to shared services security mode, do this in EAS, expand the essbase server, right click security.
Planning won't be accessible until you create an application, restart services, create a datasource, create a planning application.

Planning and Shared Services security disconnect.

Hi,
We have an intermittent problem. We are running 9.3.1 of Planning, Essbase, and Shared Services, etc. We have 6 planning applications on the same server. We use oracle as the database. The problem is at some point in time Planning stops getting updates made in Shared Services. When it happens you can go into the planning application, view the security on any object, and click "Add Access". The "Users and Groups" select box get's populated with "<None Available>". If you bounce the planning service and come back in the "Users and Groups" is populated as expected. It also dosen't affect all of the application or the same applications.
We have an admin group that makes security updates. Mainly just adding users to native groups. When things are working the changes/additions flow through to the planning tables. (HSP_USERSINGROUP,HSP_OBJECT). We gave this group a query to run that shows the access a specific user has in planning. If a user is added to a group in SS they then run the query to make sure the access is granted in planning. When the query doesn't bring back the information they think should be there we know we have the issue and start scheduling an outage to bounce planning.
Anyone else seen this behavior and is there another way to fix this besides bouncing planning?
Thanks for any responses.

This show multiple apps but you could knock it down.

Failed to register Planning with Shared Services

Hi,
I am trying to configure Hyperion Planning and it says "failed" for all the components. It doesn't want to reconfigure Shared Sevices either.
I am using EPM 11.1.1.3.
Can someone help?
Thank you!

I have finally managed to install and configure all the components, and when I try to log in to workspace I either get the message error: "1009902" or I log in and I can't find Planning Administration in Navigate->Administer->Classic Application Administration->Planning Administration. I have previously created using Shared Services a new application group called Planning. Plus, Shared Services only works if I periodically restart the database services, otherwise I get a communication error, either when loading the view pane, or when loading tree data etc.
And when I try to access the following url: http://servername:8300/HyperionPlanning/AppWizard.jsp, i receive the following error:
"The requested resource (/HyperionPlanning/AppWizard.jsp) is not available."
Here is the log for error 1009902:

MSAD Configuration with Shared Services

Hi,
I have just sucessfully configured MSAD to the HFM SS but 1 concern is that anyone with the domain suer login is able to login to shared service although limited function are available. Is there anyway to control other users except my users to login?
I do not want to use Native to create user as it will means another set of password to rememberr for the users, would prefer they use their normal domain accoutn to login.
Thanks

In addition to other comments, users can only make changes in Shared Services if they have Shared services roles assigned. Also, we use MSAD with both local and AD groups, and as long as you know the effective rights, it works out fine either way. The Shared services roles are listed below (Security Administrator's Guide pp 135-136):
Administrator: Provides control over all products that integrate with Shared Services. It enables more
control over security than any other Hyperion product roles and should therefore be
assigned sparingly. Administrators can perform all administrative tasks in User
Management Console and can provision themselves.
This role grants broad access to all applications registered with Shared Services. The
Administrator role is, by default, assigned to the admin Native Directory user, which is
the only user available after you deploy Shared Services.
Directory Manager: Creates and manages users and groups within Native Directory.
Do not assign to Directory Managers the Provisioning Manager role because combining
these roles allows Directory Managers to provision themselves.
The recommended practice is to grant one user the Directory Manager role and another
user the Provisioning Manager role.
LCM Manager: Runs the Artifact Life-Cycle Management utility to promote artifacts or data across product environments and operating systems
Project Manager: Creates and manages projects within Shared Services
Create Integrations: Creates Shared Services data integrations (the process of moving data between
applications) using a wizard.
For Oracle's Enterprise Performance Management Architect, creates and executes data
synchronizations.
Run Integrations: Views and runs Shared Services data integrations.
For Performance Management Architect, executes data synchronizations.
Dimension Editor ( includes Dimension Viewer and Interactive Editor):
Creates and manages import profiles for dimension creation. Also, creates and manages
dimensions manually within the Performance Management Architect user interface or the
Classic Application Administration option.
Required to access Classic Application Administration options for Financial Management
and Planning using Web navigation.
Dimension Viewer can read or view dimensions. This role automatically maps to the
Dimension Reader access on dimensions.
Interactive Editor can modify members within a dimension, and grants dimension writer
access to all dimensions. Does not allow users to delete dimensions.
Note: Dimension Viewer and Interactive Editor roles are reserved for future use.
Application Creator (includes Analytic Services Application Creator, Financial Management Application Creator, Planning Application Creator, External Application Creator): Creates and deploys Performance Management Architect applications. Users with this
role can create applications, but can change only the dimensions to which they have
access permissions.
Required, in addition to the Dimension Editor role, for Financial Management and
Planning users to be able to navigate to their product’s Classic Application Administration
options.
When a user with Application Creator role deploys an application from Performance
Management Architect, that user automatically becomes the application administrator
and provisioning manager for that application.
The Application Creator can create all applications.
The Analytic Services Application Creator can create Generic applications.
The Financial Management Application Creator can create Consolidation applications
and Performance Management Architect Generic applications. To create applications,
the user must also be a member of the Application Creators group specified in Financial
Management Configuration Utility.
The Planning Application Creator can create Planning applications and Performance
Management Architect Generic applications.
The External Application Creator can create external views and export application views
but cannot export the library.
Note: External Application Creator role is reserved for future use.

Shared Services External Authentication using LDAP in 9.3.1

Hi,
I have installed Hyperion Shared Services with native directory. And now planning to setup external authentication using LDAP. I need some guidance to understanding how the external authentication works.
Questions:
1. Is it possible to setup Shared Services to use both Native and LDAP user directory? What I mean is some users will be able to login using Native directory, and some others will need to login using User Directory (external authentication).
2. For User Directory (say we use LDAP), when the user is added into Shared Services, can they be assigned with Groups created in Native directory? We want to explore to use just the external authentication and define all of the groups within shared services.
If not possible, can we manage the Groups of the User directory using shared services? How is the groups work with external authentication?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Lian

Hi,
Yes you can use both Native and external authentication. When you add the external provider the native is left by defaut anyway.
Yes you can add your external users to native groups. You can also provision the groups in the AD if you wish.

Config Utility within Shared Services is to configure the Essbase Applications which are designed to work with Shared Services.
With the Configuration Utility, you can configure individual applications once they are registered with Shared Services. You can:
1) Deploy to Application Servers
2) Configure Repositories
3) Choose Application specific option
Depending upon which application you are configuring, you will see different options.
Shared services, as the name suggests, is to manage all the shared components within all the Hyperion applications which can work with Shared Services. Apart from config utility, another big use of its is to manage the users.
Hope this helps.

Shared Services Project - What does that mean?

When I create a Planning application from Workspace, there is a drop-down list for "Shared Services Project" in "Select" tab in "Create Application" wizard. What option should I select? Available options are:
1) Unassigned Project
2) APS 9.3.1 Servers
3) Business Rules
4) Hyperion System 9 BI+
5) Analytic Servers
6) the server where it hosts all Hyperion software
I've installed Hyperion Analytics Services, Analytic Provider Serivces, BI+ (reporting module), Analytic Administration Services. I've also externalized users in Analytic Services.
Does anyone know the differences between different options?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can go into Shared services and create a new project called "Planning" then when you register the planning app in shared services you can put it against the "Planning" project.

Failure to register with Shared Services

Planning 9.3.1 At Time = 0, we had created groups in Shared Services that were provisioned to our planning app. We could see the groups and corresponding uses come through into planning. Now at Time = 1, we notice that in Shared Services our planning app does not appear in the Planning projects folder. In Application Settings, the Shared Services URL still shows up in the Shares Services URL field, but attempting to Register with Shared Services yields the msg "Unable to Register with Shared Services".
Note, between T=0 and T= 1, we did not do any migration or configuration changes that I'm aware of.
Any thoughts on how to fix?
Thanks

I solved the problem myself. I had to unregister with Shared Services, then reregister, and then the app reappeared in the Planning projects in Shared Services. Not sure why the app go confused with Shared Services in the first place.

Shared Services and LDAP

This is a complete newbie question so pardon me if I sound ignorant: my understanding is that you provision users in Planning (11.1.13 or Fusion) through Shared Services. So if you're installing and configuring planning from scratch, you have to get users into Shared Services. However, these is also a concept called native directory or OpenLDAP which is involved somewhere. How do I push users into sharedservices/planning application and where does OpenLDAP come into this? thanks.

You provision the users in shared services, there is also an Openldap database which stores user information in its database, so when you can create and provision a user some of the information is stored in Shared Services and some in Openldap (Openldap has finally been removed in 11.1.2 which is a positive move in my opinion)
Once you have provisioned a user for planning and then either refesh planning, run one of the utilities or run a refresh the user information is passed into the planning tables. Also when a user logs into planning it queries shared services to see if they exist and their password is correct.

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
