Recyle Essbase services only

Just thought to get some opinion for our practice.
We have been stopping Essbase service, rebooting Essbase server and starting Essbase service weekly, but not the rest of Hyperion services, such as HSS, BI and Planning, etc. Do you think this is a good practice? The reason we are doing this is that sometimes our Planning application is hung. Sometimes we just got Essbase exception files, sometimes just nobody can connect to Essbase server. But it seems the users are in system already working fine, just no new connection can be made. Thought by recycling Essbase weekly, it can help to free up the resource on Essbase server, in turn, reduce the application hung incident.
thanks for your opinion.
Annie

John,
Thank you for your quick reponse!
My concern is that there is dependency among Hyperion services, do you see any downside by only recycling Essbase service? I think I may need to recyle all the services on a regular basis per Hyperion suggested orders. Just it's hard to schedule them due to the service dependency and cross platform between Unix and Window.
Also have you experienced Planning hung before? We have been experiencing Planning hung more often these days. We always end up with recycle the services. Sometimes we can get away by only recycling Essbase, but more recently we have to recycle all the services.
Your answers are always helpful!

How to create a batch file to stop/start only essbase services 11.1.2.2

Hi,
I have a requirement to build a batch file to schedule stop or start essbase. This batch files should run daily once. Version 11.1.2.2.
I have tried to prepare a batch file which is calling the default service restart batch StartEssbase.bat and stopEssbase.bat.
Stop process is running fine. But, Start is not success. When I run StartEssbase.bat and stopEssbase.bat manually essbase is restarting successfully.
I tried with the command like START ESSCMD.exe "Password" also. Still it is not working.
Could any one please help with the batch scrpit how can I build to start or stop essbase.
Thanks

Hi Prathap,
[Mon Dec 09 01:17:30 2013]Local/ESSBASE0///Error(1051429)
Essbase Product Existence Check Fails against the Shared Services Server with Error []
Above entries in Essbase.log tells that Essbase product entry was not found in Shared services.
As you rebooted the server, you might have lost domain server logs, but I think you can get more info about root cause in Essbase.log or essbase related log files only.

Essbase Service suddenly stops during report automation

Has anyone experienced this before? The Essbase service suddenly stops while running batches.
I get the following message in the Event viewer everytime this happens:
The Hyperion S9 BI+ Analytic Services 9.3.0 - essbase service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 5 time(s).
Is this due to constant batches with large reports taxing essbase?
Is there an Essbase.cfg modification that I can make to help avoid this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
This is the exception file ( I believe it is generated at the server level as it is in the \Hyperion\AnalyticServices directory (if that is what you mean))
Are you saying I should add the SERVERTHREADS line for the App in question?

Essbase Services is consuming excessive resource

Hello,
We are using, believe it or not, Essbase version 6.5.7.5038 and seeing Windows Service Performance Issues. *Alert description: The 'Essbase Service' service on computer [SEVERNAME] is consuming excessive resource*
We didn't see the problem on the server until we had upgraded to version 6.5.7 from version 6.0.
Does anyone know how we can resolve this issue? We will upgrade to System 9 early next year but at this time we are not going to do the upgrade.
Thanks

Thanks for the response Jason....
Answer to your question:
Has anything else about the system changed, besides just upgrading from version 6.0 to 6.5?
A - Yes, the whole system. We moved the Essbase database from one server to a larger new server.
Does the problem only come up after the system has been running for a certain amount of time, or right away?
A - Server running for a week at minimum and the problem seems to occur mostly at night when we load new data and re-calc the cubes.
How much memory is on the server?
A - 8GB
Is there any other information about what type of resource it is that's being consumed?
There are 4 dual processors running on the box but it seems essbase only uses one at a time to process a task.
Is your server still functioning correctly as an Essbase server, prior to the error messages coming up,
or are some of the numbers off these days?
A - Server running for a week at minimum before the problem comes up. We then reboot and that seems to clear it for a while. The member useage seems to be high on the box but we will need to confirm if it get's release after the re-boot.
As for your comments regarding member names with periods in them needed to be quoted in calc scripts and such. That is something I'll need to look into. I know we have some
members with periods but I'm not sure if any of them are referenced in a calc script.
Regards.
Leo

Essbase Service does not show up in the Services List

Hi,
I started essbase server and also the console. I was wanting to automate the login process but could not find the Essbase SERVICE in the Windows Services List.
What might be the issue here..?
Thanks,

The part that bothers me: "... and also the console".
You shouldn't have the service AND the console running at the same time (unless they are on different ports).
I don't believe the intended result is for the service to shut down, but that may have happened.
As for automating the login process:
As a service there is no console login needed, so once the console is launched and configured (on first startup), you only need to configure the service to be automatic.
For console logins, putting the system password on the command line does the trick. Create a shortcut to essbase.exe, and just add the password as a parameter - done.

Caching service only works for OS X updates and not for Apps

Hello,
It seems that my OS X Server Caching service only works for Apple OS X Software Updates (in Mac App Store updates, when the icon of Mountain Lion appears). I see it in my logs in verbose mode when I download an Apple OS X Software Updates and not when I download an app in Mac Appstore.
So I'm sure my Caching service works but not for all downloads.
Why ? What's wrong with my server ?
I read in some blogs that Caching Server can work for iOS devices appstore too. I try to download some apps with my iphone but nothing happens in logs ...
Can somebody help me about the Caching Server ?
Thank you.

I am with chugues http://www.apple.com/ios/business/
Caching Server 2 supports iOS 7.
By caching purchased content and software updates on a local Mac running OS X Mavericks Server, Caching Server 2 speeds up the download and delivery of content through the App Store, Mac App Store, iTunes Store and iBookstore. Your users get faster downloads of content and updates to their iOS devices directly over your corporate network.
Shows iOS updates and et al. Why is this feature not on yet?

Essbase service gets shutdown abruptly

Hi, We are facing a problem with Essbase Service. even after multiple restarts, the service just stops with in few seconds after its starts. Please find below error in the log.
[Fri Apr 30 09:21:40 2010]Local/ESSBASE0///Error(1051496)
Essbase failed to register product at Shared Services Server with Error [Registeration failed: null.Registeration failed: null.]
We are using 11.1.1.3 version of Hyperion.
I have checked the Shared Services and its running fine, as i can login into the EAS.
Please suggest.

Is this app with foundation services right?
Have you check http://<servername>:58080/interop before you up essbase service?
base on my experiance Essbase always going down when it up that services too fast.
Try to stop all services include repository and make sure u can accsess interop before you up essbase services

Essbase Service Can't Start

Hi there,
I am working under Hyperion 11.1.1 and I have error.
I want to start Essbase service in order to use MAXL / Essmsh but the Essbase service can't start. The service starts manually as usual and path to executable pointed to C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\bin\ESSBASE.exe
when I tried to find the folder and run essbase.exe the error shows that the service name is wrong (Hypservice_1) and not found.
Actually at Windows service, display name is "Hyperion Essbase Services 11.1.1 - hypservice_1"
Anyone has idea about that problem? Please let me know, thanks.

I couldn't capture the windows when I run startessbase.cmd, it runs very fast and disappeared afterwards.
What can I find on essbase.log is something like this repeatedly:

Hi - how would my batch or Maxl file look like if I wanted to come out with a script to stop and start my essbase service? The reason why i am doing this is because I wanted to stop the essbase service, so that I can archive the essbase.log file.
I am on essbase 7.0, I have read on some postings that stopping and starting the essbase service can potentially corrupt the sec file. If so, then is there any other way of archive the essbase.log file so that it does not grow to megs.
Thanks.

Hi,
You could use the following maxl
alter system shudown;
it may be useful to stop all the applications first e.g.
alter system unload application all;
or you can use windows command line
net stop essbaseservicename
and to start
net start essbaseservicename
Another method to backup the essbase.log is to make a copy of the log then use maxl to delete the log.
alter system clear logfile;
Cheers

Essbase service will not start

(Hyperion version 9.3.1)
Database crashed while a calc script was running and now when I try to start the essbase service I get the following error:
Error 14001: This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.
Reinstalling the application may fix the problem.
Has anyone else ever seen this error and know a solution other than reinstalling the application?

Srinivas,
Thanks for your suggestion. Replacing the .sec file was my first troubleshooting attempt and that did not resolve the issue.
Our databse crashed while a calc script was running and that started the essbase service problem. The final fix was restoring the database cubes from backup and also restoring the Bin and Locales folders in the Hyperion application directory on the essbase box (there were some essbase service dll's that got corrupted). For our environment the is path D:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices\Bin and D:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices\Locales.

Starting OEM Windows Service only after database is ready

I have a Windows Service program (written in vb.net) that accesses an Oracle database via the Oracle ODBC driver. It runs fine as long as the database comes up first. In some installations, however, the Oracle system is not ready to connect when Windows auto-starts my service.
I have tried using both the database service name and the TNS_Listener... as a value in a DependsOnService key in the registry for my service, but it seems to have no effect. Judging by the event logs, Oracle continues to spin out "processes" for something over 30 seconds, which appear after my service is started regardless of what I do with the DependsOnService parameter.
How can I make Windows auto-start my service only after Oracle is ready?

Sure, although "net start" is a Windows thing, not an Oracle thing. Here is the contents of my startup.cmd file.
net start "OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener"
net start "OracleServicePROD"
net start "OracleDBConsoleprod"
net start "OracleCSService"
net start "OracleOraDb10g_home1iSQL*Plus"
pause
The thing in quotes is the service name found in the Windows Services panel. In order to use this method you should set the services you wish to control as Manual startup (instad of Automatic). You can do that by right clicking on a service name/Properties/Startup Type.
To do a shutdown, I reverse the order of the above script and of course change the starts to stops.

Is there a package for installing the FlexNet service only?

Hi,
we are trying to virtualize Acrobat Pro 9 using Softgrid/App-V. Unfortunately the FlexNet service does not support virtualization. According to the virtualization community a possible workaround would be a local installation of the FlexNet service on our terminal servers.
To do that I need an installation package for the FlexNet service only or command line parameters for installing the service from the normal package without installing acrobat.
Is such a package or command available somewhere?
Thanks!

There is no standard iView for ME53N, but you can create you own iView which will point to any SAP Transaction in either WinGui or WebGui Mode and assign it to end users.
Refer to the following standard SAP help:

Essbase services from remote machine

Hi,
Can anyone suggest if we can start all the essbase services(like foundation services, essbase server, etc) from a remote machine or client machine? Please advice. Can we write a script or is there any other option available?
Thanks in advance.

If you want to script it, I can think of three ways (there are probably more):
1) SC.exe -- http://ryepup.unwashedmeme.com/blog/2007/01/04/restart-a-windows-service-remotely/
2) psexec.exe -- http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx
3) VBScript (and probably PowerShell but I've never used that) can remotely stop services through WMI -- http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/vbscript/wmi_services.htm

Essbase Service stops randomly

Essbase Service stops automatically, this stops the Essbaseapplications. When I restart the applications they get into FreeSpace recovery taking more time to complete blocking the useraccess to the other application. EssbaseService Error: 997, Shutting down Essbase service.. thanks Ramesh

What version of Essbase? Are you using App Mgr or Essbase Administration Services, and do you have PC Anywhere?

Recyle Essbase services only
