Pointing single FDM application to multiple Essbase databases

Is it possible to point a single FDM application to multiple Essbase applications and databases? I have heard it is possible to (re-)add the Essbase adapter multiple times to the same FDM application, to then point to different Essbase applications databases.
Does this work successfully and are there any potential problems with having duplicate adapters registered?

To add weight to our proposal of splitting the FDM applications, is there any documentation/KB/bugs/forum posts on the issues with duplicated adapters and using drill back? Is there definitely an issue with FDM here? It is not something I have yet experienced and it sounds more of a possibility than a definite issue? If you can, please let me know if there are any further references you can provide on this so I can inform the client on the best route forward. Many thanks in advance.

  • Can I create two different FDM applications in a single database?

    Hi,
    Atpresent we are using separate database (MSSQL Server 2008) for each FDM applications, now our databases have increased in numbers due to increase in number of applications.
    Now we are searching for any possibility to use a single database for more than one different FDM applications inorder to reduce the new database creation numbers in future.
    Any suggestions would be greatly helpful.
    Thanks in advance.
    Abdulla Javeed Hassan

    Yes. Reduce the number of FDM applications you are creating. You can have multiple target system adapters in a single FDM application (i.e. a single database only required). There is no need to create a new application for each target system.

  • Unable to create FDM application

    Hi Gurus,
    While creating FDM application receiving error as "Database User id and password is required for login".
    There is firewall between FDM server and SQL server and the SQL port number is different instead of 1433. Also we have SQL instance.
    I have configured SS, FR and workspace successfully, but unable to create FDM app.
    All products are in the same server.
    Provided the SQL db information as:
    db servername\sql instance name
    database name
    db username and password.
    Receiving the above error message on both workbench and web.
    Please provide some solution for this issue, its urgent.
    Regards,
    Kamal

    If you use a UDL file on the FDM application server with the same information provided in the application creation screen can you successfully connect to the SQL Server database?
    If it is running on another port other than 1433 you will need to specify the port in the servername field:
    servername\instance,port

  • Unable to connect to Database Error in FDM application creation

    Hi All,
    I have Installed Financial Data Quality Management 11.1.2.2 in my machine. Database [Oracle 11g R2 64 bit] and client[Oracle client 32 bit] also installed in the same machine.
    We selected the following components while installing Oracle client[Custom installation],
    Oracle Objects for OLE
    Oracle Data Provider for .NET
    Oracle Providers for ASP.NET
    Oracle Provider for OLEDB
    Complete the install.
    When I tried to create FDM application it throws me the following error. Unable to connect to Database. Please check the database information and verify the database is accessible.
    Kindly guide me to overcome this issue.
    Thanks and Regards
    Sai

    Hi Sai,
    first of all, you have posted FDM issue in Essbase forum. Thats the reason you didn't get replies to this issue.
    To resolve this, we need to Oracle Client 32 bit first then Oracle Client 64 bit.
    Install Oracle Clients completly. (As per documentation, we need to install Clients completly. Means choose Administrator, not instant client and custom)
    After installing also if get same error, Goto Environment variables, Edit PATH variable and copy the 32 bit Client path to the first in the PATH variable.
    Then reboot the Server and try again to create FDM application.
    Thanks,

  • Multiple Currency Applications sharing a currency database

    Is it possible to share a currency database among multiple essbase applications?

    not in the tradition sense where you create it in an application and it is linked to the standard DB. You could create a generic one and use partitions or xref to get the conversion rates from it.

  • Multiple Stickies databases? Open a few Stickies only per application?

    I love Stickies, but I hate having so many open at the same time. It's always the case that I need only a few stickies at a time, depending on the other apps I'm working on. For example, I might have a few "tips" stickies I created for myself when I am Photoshopping, or a couple other brainstorm stickies when I am trying to do some writing. I might have a dozen subsets of stickies that need to be opened up only when the relevant application is also open. I will never need all my stickies open all the time.
    My questions are whether it's possible to:
    a) create multiple Stickies databases which each contain only a small set of Stickie notes; and/or
    b) to have only a few Sticky notes opened up automatically depending on the app I am using. (Is there some sort of Applescript that could help with this?)
    As it is now my screen is far too cluttered, and that discourages any use of Stickies at all.
    Perhaps I've been ignoring some obvious feature, but in fact, I couldn't find this issue mentioned anywhere else.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

  • Multiple import formats in one FDM application....?

    I wanted to know in my situation where there are 15 EBS Set of Books. whether it is possible to use only 1 FDM application to import all these data into my HFM application.
    My ERPi application is like this :
    1 source application that is EBS.
    1 target application that is HFM.
    15 EBS Set of books, for which i think i have to create 15 import formats in ERPi for each set of books. this also implies to the locations.
    then I have to do the common period mapping and category mapping.
    in the Data load Setup: I have to select each location and do the member mapping. create a data load rule for each location.
    FDM Application:
    i already have an FDM application which i am using to import data from EBS to HFM using ERPi, till now i have only used 1 set of books just to verify that everything is working fine. now as everything is working fine with the application, I want to add additional import formats in the existing FDM application to answer the import formats and locations created in the ERPi application.
    Is it possible to do like this, if so then i need your assistance in achieving this task.
    please put your comments in this regards.
    Thanks,
    Shantan Kommera

    You can do this by specifiying the appropriate data load rule to be used by ERPi within Integration Option 1 in the location. This will kick off the data load rule you specify in ERPi that should be tied to the corresponding set of books in EBS.

  • Multiple content databases and Project Sites

    Hi,
    I am in the process of migrating our Project 2007 PWA + Project Workspaces data to Project 2010.  Our PWA site and the Project Workspaces are in a single content DB (2007) and I am trying to work out what I should do when I migrate it.  Our content
    DB is about 150GB which I believe is around the maximum that it should be.
    I am unsure about a couple of things.
    1. In SharePoint, you can assign multiple content DBs to a single web application, but each Site Collection will only live in a single content DB.  Given that all of the Project Sites are actually just sub-sites of a single Site Collection I cannot see
    a way to ever split them up into multiple content DBs.  Am I missing something?
    2. There is another post in this forum talking about whether to split PWA and Project Sites into different content DBs (and therefore Site Collections) with Project 2010 or not.  Even though I have read it I am still unclear as to whether or not I should
    do this and what the actual pros and cons are.
    Thanks in advance for the replies.
    Cheers,
    David

    All,
    The requester wants more than 1 Site Collection for Project Sites and he wants more than 1 content database for each site collection. Neither of which apparently SharePoint can do. However,
    for large numbers of Projects and associated Project Sites this will almost certainly be a necessity.
    The Suggestion was that the PWA site collection and Project Sites site collection could be different and hence on different databases (even web apps). Fine. But not helpful, really, since that
    only gets us to two site collections.  One very small and one that will potentially grow very large, too large.
    What appears to also have been suggested was to create a separate site collection for very large project sites.
    While this approach could work, it is administration intense and is bound to have issues related to PWA navigation, etc...and certainly not part of the Project Server 2010 PWA automatic Site
    Creation methodology.  It also is after the fact and not really scalable.  it would be possibe, but tricky to do this after the fact - moving it from one site collection to another - and then reset the URL in PWA Server Settings,
    could be done.
    I would suggest something similar, but a bit more pragmatic...Thanks Bruce!
    Create 1 new Site Collection for Project Sites (same web app) in a new content DB - use script.
    Setup PWA to provision all new Project Sites to that new site collection.  Maintains automatic site provisioning.
    Monitor
    the size of the DB, when it reaches a reasonable limit (? 50GB ?) - repeat this process, create another site collection in a new DB - but
    change the PWA provisioning settings to have all new sites go to the new (next) site collection.  Existing sites will still be found (keep the site collections in the same web app for continuity) and can have content added (I guess up
    to a point - monitor).  Repeat as needed.
    Another way I can conceive of is to create a fixed set of a small number of site collections (in the same web app) and manage the Project Site creation manually selecting which
    project site goes against which site collection. Division along some logical boundary such as Departments makes sense. But other divisions may be used. This could scale by simply adding more site collections at each department (HR-2), should any given department's
    DB grow too big. Then all the logically related Project Sites will hang off the site collection selected and be part of that database for that site collection for that "department" let's say.
    just a variation of the above solution.  Monitoring the DB size is key in both cases.
    There may of course be caveats to any approach other than OOTB and all in 1 site collection, around navigation, web parts, solution starters, etc...some of which are addressed elsewhere. Of
    course, this is admin intensive but retains automatic provisioning for new sites. I believe it would work and meet the requirements for smaller DB's and multiple Site collections for PWA Project Sites and scale to thousands of project sites.
    Thanks,

  • Unable to open Essbase Database

    Hi,
    Following Essbase error is coming when data is fetching from Essbase database from a report: -
    Failed to open database 'Database1' on server 'URL'
    Error reported by Essbase.
    Additional information:
    Syntax error loading filters - operation canceled
    Kindly tell what could be the reasons behind it??
    Regards,
    Atul K

    Hi,
    Followiong could be the reasons of your problem: -
    1- Try to restart application and then try to start database.
    2- If point 1 not work then may be application process 'ESSSVR' for that application get hangh. So stop all app/db and check if any Esssvr is running from Task Manager then kill it.
    3- Restart Essbase Server and try to restart db again.
    4- If problem still persists then may be your db got corrupted and please restore it from backup.
    5- Also from your posted error, it is looking that Essbase internal application $DM_APP$ is either missing or corrupted so please make it in following ways:-
    5.1. Shut down Essbase
    5.2. Rename essbase.sec to essbasebackup.sec
    5.3. Rename $DM_APP$ directory, e.g., Backup_$DM_APP$ if it exists but if it doesn't do not worry about it.
    5.4. Restart Essbase. At this point, a new essbase.sec is created,along with a new $DM_APP$ directory and files associated withit.
    5.5. From EAS, make sure Data Mining part is working
    5.6. Shutdown Essbase
    5.7. Rename essbase.sec to essbasenew.sec
    5.8. Rename essbasebackup.sec to essbase.sec
    5.9. Start Essbase
    5.10. Check to make sure Data Mining part is working
    5.11. Try renaming application or load db
    5.12. Once all is working, remove essbasenew.sec.
    Hope it will help pyou.

  • Not able to create a new FDM application -11.1.1.4

    Hi
    I have installed Hyperion FDM on win2008 and oracle 10g. After installation, I configured it to authenticate with shared services. Everything else like Load balance, application server are configured. I can login to FDM web url using the shared services admin user. But when i go on to create a new application ( i give the application name, the oracle database schema name, the folder in the local hard drive), it takes forever to create the application. I keep on getting the message 'Processing, Please wait..' message. I see that it created 4 folders ( data, inbox, reports, outbox) but i don't see any tables in the schema. The web console never comes back. But i dont get any sort of error.
    It appears that IIS has hung up. But i can still get http://localhost.
    How can i find whats going on.
    Please help.

  • Multiple RAC databases on same GI using different subnets for Public i/face

    Hello. We are configuring a 2 node cluster. That cluster will host several RAC databases. For security reasons our networking team want to create separate subnets for the application traffic to each specific RAC database on the cluster.
    E.g. application 1 has 2 application servers that will connect to RAC database PROD1 via one subnet, application 2 has 3 application servers that will connect to RAC database PROD2 via a different subnet, etc.
    In addition the networking team want to configure a separate management subnet that DBAs etc. will use to administer all RAC databases and infrastructure in the cluster.
    Grid Infrastructure version 11.2.0.2. Database versions will vary from 10.2.0.x to 11.2.0.2. All databases will utilise RAC.
    We want to take advantage of SCAN listener functionality to support connectivity to all databases on the cluster. Forum thread 2199620 [https://cn.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2199620] suggests that 11gR2 supports multiple subnets, which looks to be exactly the feature we need. Please can you confirm how this works and point us to any documentation (standard docs, white papers, MOS, etc.) that might help us configure this.
    Document referenced in thread 2199620 was not exactly what we were looking for, and didn't translate too well in Google Translate.
    Any guidance much appreciated. Thanks, Rich.

    Thanks Levi. Your advice is very much appreciated.
    Your statement that we can only have one SCAN listener listening on one public network is actually the clarification I was looking for.
    For anyone else reading this thread I believe this gives us 3 options:
    1) Configure a SCAN listener and have all applications, and all management/administration, connecting to the corresponding database on the same cluster via that SCAN listener, all on the same subnet.
    2) Configure a SCAN listener for use by all applications connecting to the corresponding database on the same cluster, and use TNSNAMES/VIP for management/administration traffic, both on separate subnets (by configuring the LISTENER_NETWORKS parameter)
    3) Configure a SCAN listener for use by applications connecting to one of the databases on the cluster via one subnet, use TNSNAMES/VIP for all other applications connecting to other databases, each using their own subnet. Plus, the management/administration could be via another subnet utilising TNSNAMES/VIP.
    From our perspective we will work out the best one for us and implement accordingly.
    Thanks again for your timely and comprehensive response.

    Thank you very much in advance...
    Fez

    As for adding members to the outline, you can either do it manually (not too painful for a Time Periods dimension), or if you have the members you need in a file, or available via SQL, then load 'em up using a Load Rule. Using the Parent/Child relationship is one of the preferred methods, but that means your source data needs to be in a parent / child relationship.
    There are other ways in the load rule, Generation, Level, etc, but if your source data isn't very good these methods of building the dimension can be a little harder to control.
    Here's a link to the DBAG for dataload rules.

  • Best Practice to use a single root Application Module?

    I was reading in another thread that it may be a good idea to have all application modules nested within a single root application module (AM) so that there is only 1 session maintained for the root AM, versus an individual session for each AM. Is this a best practice? If yes, should the root AM be a skeleton AM (minimal customer service methods), or, should you select the most heavily used AM and nest the other AM's underneath of it?
    In my case, I currenlty have 2 AM's (and will have 3 AM's in the future) each representing a different set of use cases withn the application (i.e., one supports users searches / shopping cart-like functionality, and the second supports an enrollment process.) It could be the case that a user only accesses pages on the web site to do searches (first AM), or only to do enrollment (2nd AM), or, they may access pages of the site that access both AM's. Right now I have 2 separate AM's that are not nested. Should I nest the AM's and define a root AM?
    thanks

    Hi javaX
    The main physical effect of having 2 separate AMs is that they have their own transactions with the database, and presumably sit in the application module pool as their own instances consuming connections from the connection pool. Alternatively a single root AM with 2 nested AMs share a single transaction through the root AM; only the root AM controls the transaction in this scenario.
    As such it's a question of do you need separate transactions or will one suffice?
    How you group your EOs/VOs etc within the AMs is up to you, but usually falls into logical groups such as you have done. If a single transaction is fine, instead of creating multiple AMs, you could instead just create logical package structures instead. Neither method is right or wrong, they're just different ways of structuring your application.
    When you create a nested AM structure, within your ViewController project in the Data Control Palette you'll actually see 3 data controls mapped to each AM. In addition expanding the root AM data control, you'll see the nested AMs again. Create a dummy project with a nested AM structure and you'll see what I mean.
    If you base your page definitions on anything from the root AM and it's children in the Data Control Palette, this will work on the root AM's transaction.
    If you base your page definitions on something from one of the other AM data controls that isn't inside the main root AM in the Data Control Palette, instead of using the root AM's transaction, the separate child AM will be treated as root AM and will have its own transaction.
    The thing to care of when developing web pages is to consistently use the AM and it's nested AMs, or the child AMs directly with their separate transactions, otherwise it might cause a bit of a nightmare debugging situation later on when the same application is locking and blocking on the same records from 2 separate AM transactions.
    Hope this helps.
    CM.
