Preview Data in EAS across different essbase Servers

Hello All,
We are on 11.1.2.3 of EPM. In our Prod EAS I have Signed in using my AD user ID and added the two(one prod, one dev) essbase servers to the list of essbase servers. I was able to successfully add the two essbase servers. Now when I preview data on cube in dev it gives me the error "Cannot connect to olap service. Cannot connect to Essbase Server. Error: Essbase Error(1051293): Login fails due to invalid login credentials". This cannot be true because I would not be able to expand the essbase servers list and drill down to the database in order to preview it if the credentials were wrong. Also I am able to see the outlines and Calc scripts just fine. I am able to preview data on the prod cube just fine.
Now, The same happens when I try to preview data in prod essbase cube when coming from Dev EAS. Which means am able to preview data only on dev essbase server cubes when coming from dev EAS and when I try to preview data on a prod cube when coming from Dev EAS i get the same invalid login credentials error.
Could someone please help me understand if this is a bug or if this is how they intended it to work? Because we just upgraded from 11.1.1.4 and we were able to preview data across any essbase server no matter which EAS service we used.
No SSL or Single Sign-on were used. Just active directory credentials. It happens only with an AD ID and not with a native directory ID. Please suggest on how this can be fixed.
Thanks,
Ted.

I logged this with Oracle and the following is their response copy/pasted
The issue which you have reported in this SR is a desired behavior. This behavior has been seen in latest versions only 11.1.2.x.
In earlier version we can preview the data of any Essbase server added to any eas console.
But form 11.1.2.x environment this behaviour has been changed.
We did checked with development team on this earlier, and according to development team its a behavior by design.
As dev environment and Prod environment have different registries , the preview data would work if Dev Essbase server added to Dev EAS only. like same holds good for prod or test environments.
As same issue has been reported earlier , we form support has raised a bug with development team after reproducing the issue .
But development team did not accept this as bug as this behavior was by design .
So later we changed this bug to a enchantment request with development team to change this behavior.
Bug 14622693 - PREVIEW DATA ON REMOTE ESSBASE HOST FAIL WHEN CONNECTED FROM EAS
If this enhancement requested gets approved by development team ,Then it would be incorporated in future release.
Thanks,
Ted.

Previewing Data in EAS Console on client machine throws an error.

When I preview data in EAS console(version 11.1.1.4) on a client workstation I get a "Cannot sign on to domain. Error initializing the ORB.java.io.FileNotFoundException: domain.db (Access is denied)" error. Now if I Use the URL for Admin Console on the same client machine am able to preview the data fine. Also when I preview data on the client installed on the server am able to preview data fine. Just that when I use the Admin console client installed on a workstation I get that error. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Ok I am using 11.1.1.4 EAS console. When I kick off the EAS console installed on the client machine I have observed the javaw.exe process which kicks off. And when I right click and do "open file location" on it it takes me to the E:\Hyperion\common\JRE\Sun\1.5.0\bin\javaw.exe which tells me it is using the java version which came with the product. But I still am having issues like expanding outlines(not issues, I just cant expand the outline dimensions to view members) and previewing data. On the other hand when I come through the URL the javaw.exe which kicks off is in the folder "C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\jre\1.6.0_11\bin\javaw.exe" which tells me it is using the java installed on the client workstation. And this 1.6 version one works just fine without any issues whatsoever. So in my case it is the supported version which is not working and the not supported one works without any issues. Please suggest guys, this is driving me nuts and I have no idea why our developers donot want to use the URL and want to use only the console installed on their machines. Even with a workaround available there should be a reason as to why it is happening and why it is not working.
Thanks,
Ted.

Preview Data in EAS Console

Hi All,
After i login to the EAS Console and right click on Database and do "Preview Data" i get the below error
*"Cannot connect to OLAP service.Cannot connect to Essbase Server <Server name>.timed out waiting to connect to the Essbase Agent/TCP IP"* .
This msg is occuring after the server migration happend.Can any one help me on this.
Sashidhar

Hi Sashidhar,
Have you by any chance changed the default admin password after the server migration?
If yes, refer to ID 1307681.1 in My Oracle Support. There are steps to resolve this issue. It might not be exactly the same issue, but the error message seemed similar.

How to trace users across different Application Servers?

Hi,
We trace users using ST01. But how do we trace users logged in to different application servers? Please help.

Hi Ahmed,
SM51 or AL08 shows in which Application server the user is logged in. But ST01 does not allow us to select or to specify the application server while tracing a user. Can you be a little more vivid. How do you specify the application server in ST01?
Please help.

Best way to manage date/time variables across different timezones

I have an application that relies heavily on time accuracy. At the moment everything is fine, but soon the system will service customers across multiple timezones. The default behavior of the Date class is to show dates related to the current timezone, is there an easy way (setting) to override this behaviour? The system should show the time entered regardless of the timezone it was entered on.
I use CF 8 for the back-end, and MySQL 5.1 to store data. The front-end is Flex 3/Air 2.
I have looked everywhere, and things like saving dates as strings, or long ints, but if possible, I'd like to find a solution that does not involve dramatic changes to my database/code.

Thanks for your reply, UbuntuPenguin,
Your explanation is correct and what I'm trying to find out is an easy way to override that behaviour.
As an example of what the issue is, let's say an event was entered here, in Toronto,ON, at 3pm, if a customer in Arizona sees the time, he/she will call us immediately to inform us that the event it's supposed to happen at 3pm, and not at 12pm (time that they see with the different timezone).
As far as I've seen, the "best" way to approach this issue is by using the transient tag during data transfer and compensate for the time difference in the client timezone vs the selected "system" timezone using getters/setters, but that implies storing the wrong date/time and locking the system into one timezone, and it's just a hack that may bring undesirable consequences in the future.

Access two EAS with different Essbase versions and different java versions from the same p.c.

Hi,
I need to regularly access Essbase 11.1.2.2. and Essbase 11.1.2.3 EAS from the same client machine.
They are on, and must be on, different versions of java, is there a way to have both versions of java installed but each using the correct version and without the two java versions causing any kind of problems?
thanks,
Robert.

Hi Robert... I assume this is web-launched?
I spent a day or so trying understand the intricacies of the JNLP protocol and create shortcuts that will invoke web-launched EAS with the appropriate version of Java. I can get one version of EAS to use the 1.6 Java Web Launcher, and the other version of EAS to use the 1.7 Java Web Launcher - but both Web Launchers eventually invoke the same version of Java! There are switches in the JNLP syntax that seem like they should allow you choose the actual Java version that gets invoked, but I just could not make it work.
You can use the Java Control Panel (in Control Panel) to enable and disable the relevant versions before launching EAS.
If you find otherwise I would love to know (or if you find out how to control which versions are enabled or disabled via command-line script).

Error when i trying to Preview Data in some database (Essbase 11.1.2.2)

The best solution I have found so far is to stop the application and delete or rename all .ind, .pag, .esm and .tct files for the troubled database and restart the application.
It will create these files from scratch and you can load your data.

Is it possible to share an ODBC.INI across Essbase servers?

h5. Summary
Our planned production environment may have as many as 15 Essbase servers so it would be useful if the odbc.ini file could be maintained centrally. Is this possible?
h5. Problem
The servers are implemented as a high availability cluster. The infrastructure team telll me that a side-effect of this is that the Essbase install builds the server node name into the path for EPM_ORACLE_HOME. Because this path has to be hard-coded in the odbc.ini Driver specification (see below) this apparently forces you to maintain a separate odbc.ini for each Essbase server.
+Driver=/ htesb1 /u03/Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1/common/ODBC-64/Merant/6.0/lib/ARora24.so+
h5. Requirement
As part of the landscape we will have an OCFS shared file system mounted across all the Essbase servers. What I'd like to be able to do is place a single odbc.ini file on this file system and for that file to be used by all the Essbase nodes. I've tried using an environment variable in the Driver path specification. I've also tried using a symbolic link.
Does anybody know of a way to avoid the hard-coded paths in the odbc.ini?
h5. Alternative
Another possibility is to use OCI instead though I saw in another thread that this doesn't work with parallel loads. Assuming this problem can be got around it means that the connection information will be consistent regardless of the essbase server and the odbc.ini maintenance problem then goes away. The catch is that the connection information is then embedded in the rules file meaning that we have to update same whenever they are moved between environments (e.g. dev to test) and whenever an environment's connection details change. I tried using substitution variables but these only apply to ODBC connection names. Does anyone know if there is some way to parameterise the OCI connection information?
h5. Versions
Essbase Release 11.1.2 (ESB11.1.2.1.102B147)
Linux version 2.6.32.12-0.7-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.3.4 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 152973] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP 2010-05-20 11:14:20 +0200 64 bit

Reuse Dimdate across different database for different data models

Hi,
I am designing a new data model for a data mart. I need to add dimdate dimension in this data model. I noticed that dimdate already exists in another database and being used by another
data model. Is it possible to re-use the existing dimdate table for my new data model? If so, what about the foreign key constraints? Normally we link the date columns from fact table to the dimdate keys. How would we achieve that in case we are using the
same table across different databases?
Any opinion on this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Cheers!!

You can create a copy of dimdate table to your new data warehouse.
If both data marts were in a single data warehouse, then you don't required to copy. but as these are in two different databases then you just copy that.
regarding FK relationship. you can connect any fact table to you date dimension. even if you want to use more than one instance of your date dimension, it would be simply adding multiple FK columns in your fact table (role playing dimension).
For date dimension be sure that your date dimension covers most of the attributes required. here is an example of date dimension:

Fetch data from three different Essbase cube in to Reporting

Hi Experts,
I want to know how to fetch data from three different Essbase cubes in to HFR or smart view reports.

If you create a multiple data source Financial Reports report, you get the best of both worlds:
1) No code required reports
2) You can view the reports in Workspace
3) You can view the FR reports in SmartView
Unless you really need it, I wouldn't go down the SmartView/VBA path, especially as you lose all ad-hoc capability with a mutli sheet retrieval with code. There are costs associated with going down the path of template reporting (which is what you are now talking about). See this thread for a good discussion of those costs:
http://www.network54.com/Forum/58296/thread/1300202750/Template+Coding+Smartview+or+Classic+-Opinionson+time
Remember, the people posting in this thread are pretty experienced practitioners, so unless you are a code god, I would multiply the estimates by 1.5 or 2 or 3, especially if you're learning the VBA functions for the first time.
Just my $0.02.

Preview data problem

Hi all.
I have this problem:
When I try to see data from easconsole with "Preview data" I have this error:
"Unable connect to analytic server xyz. Timed out waiting to connect to the Essbase Agent/Server using TCP/IP. Check your network connections".
I have two servers: one with Essbase (bdd01) and other with OAS and EPM (wbd01). The servers are with Solaris 10, Hyperon version is 11.1.1.2 and OAS version is 10.1.3.3
Thanks in advance.
Jordi.

Here's ur answer :
Check to see if the $ARBORPATH/bin/essnet.dll files match on the client computer and the server computer.
If the $ARBORPATH/bin/essnet.dll files do not match, reinstall the networking protocol. Be sure to select named pipes as the networking protocol. Consult the Analytic Services Installation Guide.
If the $ARBORPATH/bin/essnet.dll files match, consult the networking documentation.
Increase the values for NETDELAY and NETRETRYCOUNT.

How do I fix colour picker to work across different colour-managed monitors?

Hey everyone!
I'm assuming this problem I'm having stems from having colour-calibrated monitors, but let me know if I'm wrong!
To preface, this is the setup I have:
Windows 7
3 monitors as follows, all have individual colour profiles calibrated using the Spyder 3
Cintiq 12WX
Dell U2410
Dell 2409WFP
Photoshop CS6 - Proofed with Monitor RGB, and tested with colour-managed and non-colour-managed documents
I usually do most of my work on the Cintiq 12WX, but pull the photoshop window to my main monitor to do large previews and some corrections. I noticed that the colour picker wouldn't pick colours consistently depending on the monitor the Photoshop window is on.
Here are some video examples:
This is how the colour picker works on my Dell U2410: http://screencast.com/t/lVevxk5Ihk
This is how it works on my Cintiq 12WX: http://screencast.com/t/tdREx4Xyhw9
Main Question
I know the Cintiq's video capture makes the picture look more saturated than the Dell's, but it actually looks fine physically, which is okay. But notice how the Cintiq's colour picker doesn't pick a matching colour. It was actually happening the opposite way for a while (Dell was off, Cintiq was fine), but it magically swapped while I was trying to figure out what was going on. Anyone know what's going on, and how I might fix it?
Thanks for *any* help!
Semi-related Question regarding Colour Management
Colour management has always been the elephant-in-the-room for me when I first tried to calibrate my monitors with a Spyder colourimeter years ago. My monitors looked great, but Photoshop's colours became unpredictable and I decided to abandon the idea of calibrating my monitors for years until recently. I decided to give it another chance and follow some tutorials and articles in an attempt to keep my colours consistent across Photoshop and web browsers, at least. I've been proofing against monitor colour and exporting for web without an attached profile to keep pictures looking good on web browsers. However, pictures exported as such will look horrible when uploaded to Facebook. Uploading pictures with an attached colour profile makes it look good on Facebook. This has forced me to export 2 versions of a picture, one with an attached colour profile and one without, each time I want to share it across different platform. Is there no way to fix this issue?
Pictures viewed in Windows Photo Viewer are also off-colour, but I think that's because it's not colour managed... but that's a lesser concern.

I think I've figured out the colour management stuff in the secondary question, but the weird eyedropper issue is still happening. Could just be a quirk from working on things across multiple monitors, but I'm hoping someone might know if this is a bug/artifact.
Going to lay out what I inferred from my experiments regarding colour management in case other noobs like me run into the same frustrations as I did. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong - the following are all based on observation.
General Explanation
A major source of my problems stem from my erroneous assumption that all browsers will use sRGB when rendering images. Apparently, most popular browsers today are colour-managed, and will use an image's embedded colour profile if it exists, and the monitor's colour profile if it doesn't. This was all well and good before I calibrated my monitors, because the profile attached to them by default were either sRGB or a monitor default that's close to it. While you can never guarantee consistency on other people's monitors, you can catch most cases by embedding a colour profile - even if it is sRGB. This forces colour-managed browsers to use sRGB to render your image, while non-colour-managed browsers will simply default to sRGB. sRGB seems to be the profile used by Windows Photo Viewer too, so images saved in other wider gamut colour spaces will look relatively drab when viewed in WPV versus a colour-managed browser.
Another key to figuring all this out was understanding how Profile Assignment and Conversion work, and the somewhat-related soft-proofing feature. Under Edit, you are given the option to either assign a colour profile to the image, or convert the image to another colour profile. Converting an image to a colour profile will replace the colour profile and perform colour compensations so that the image will look as physically close to the original as possible. Assigning a profile only replaces the colour profile but performs no compensations. The latter is simulated when soft-proofing (View > Proof Colors or ctrl/cmd-Y). I had followed bad advice and made the mistake of setting up my proofing to Monitor Color because this made images edited in Photoshop look identical when the same image is viewed in the browser, which was rendering my images with the Monitor's colour profile, which in turn stemmed from yet another bad advice I got against embedding profiles . This should formally answer Lundberg's bewilderment over my mention of soft-proofing against Monitor Colour.
Conclusion and Typical Workflow (aka TL;DR)
To begin, these are the settings I use:
Color Settings: I leave it default at North American General Purpose 2, but probably switch from sRGB to AdobeRGB or ProPhoto RGB so I can play in a wider gamut.
Proof Setup: I don't really care about this anymore because I do not soft-proof (ctrl/cmd-Y) in this new workflow.
Let's assume that I have a bunch of photographs I want to post online. RAWs usually come down in the AdobeRGB colour space - a nice, wide gamut that I'll keep while editing. Once I've made my edits, I save the source PSD to prep for export for web.
To export to web, I first Convert to the sRGB profile by going to Edit > Convert to Profile. I select sRGB as the destination space, and change the Intent to either Perceptual or Relative Colorimetric, depending on what looks best to me. This will convert the image to the sRGB colour space while trying to keep the colours as close to the original as possible, although some shift may occur to compensate for the narrower gamut. Next, go to Save for Web. The settings you'll use:
Embed Color Profile CHECKED
Convert to sRGB UNCHECKED (really doesn't matter since you're already in the sRGB colour space)
and Preview set to Internet Standard RGB (this is of no consequence - but it will give a preview of what the image will look like in the sRGB space)
That's it! While there might be a slight shift in colour when you converted from AdobeRGB to sRGB, everything from then on should stay consistent from Photoshop to the browser
Edit: Of course, if you'd like people to view your photos in glorious wide gamut in their colour-managed browsers, you can skip the conversion to sRGB and keep them in AdobeRGB. When Saving for Web, simply remember to Embed the Color Profile, DO NOT convert to sRGB, and set Preview to "Use Document Profile" to see what the image would look like when drawn with the embedded color profile

Capacity Planner - What metrics datas are sent across to VMware

Hi, I'm looking for some detail information of the capacity planner data that is going out of customer environment. This is needed for a migration project that I'm current working on it, where we do lot of P2V consolidation. The environment is a secure environment and the security team is concerned about the data been sent across and the performance of production servers for financial institution.
Even though there are options to hide all the information like server names or domain information, I would like to see some sample data analysis to look at it and to know what encryption is used to transmit data over to VMware. I looked at partner central and other sources on the web, but hard to find detail information.Can anyone share some information please? Many thanks in advance, Siva

EAS with 2 admin servers? possible

helllo,
i have added 2 essbase servers
1. local host( my essbase server)
2. My work (company)
but what i meant is now .. i able to add both the servers in Administration servers but is there any possibility to open both in same EAS.. because when i open local host iam not able to open My work (company ) for that i need to open new EAS again ..is there any possibility for both servers as local host is installed in my PC and my work is installed in another location
i hope i made my self clear ..if not please do drop ur comments

yes you can expand them both if you have added them? remember there is a difference between EAS server and Essbase server. Add 1 EAS/Administration server and 2 Essbase servers.
hopefully we're talking about the same thing
what exactly are you trying to achieve? (what do you want to be able to do with 2 servers)

Retrofit in SAP Solution Manager 7.1 Supported Across Different OS's?

Is Solution Manager 7.1 Retrofit Capability supported with a different enhancement pack level and across different Operating Systems (HP-UX & AIX)?
The specific scenario would be setup of a dual landscape where traditional Dev -> QAS-> PRD is on HP UX 11.31. Then we would create a parallel 'Upgrade Project" landscape on IBM AIX 7.1 uDEV -> uQA (on AIX), perform an enhancement pack upgrade on uDeV and uQA and use Solution Manager Retrofit Capability to synchronize transports between the two landscapes.
