Running EAS 11.1.2.1

Hi,
Which JRE is comatible with 11.1.2.1 EAS to access console. Some of users getting errors related to EAS.
Regards
Kumar

there many reasons which may cause
like
when you launch the EAS Console from a Web Browser, even though the client system have Java 1.6.x installed earlier will confict if older version is still present
To check which Java version is being used, go to Start->Settings->Control Panel->Java. On the Java tab,
see which verison is ticked ..try to tick for 1.6 and uncheck 1.5
is that dont solve try below
try updating windows reg
1. Open Registry Editor, Start->Run->regedit
2. Expand to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT->JNLPFile->Shell ->Open -> Command.
3. Double click on "Default" String, the "Edit String" pop up dialog appears.
4. Update the path to the "javaws.exe" program with the absolute path from the required JRE and click OK.
5. Restart the browser and launch the EAS Console.
The updated JRE will be used to launch the EAS Console.

Using run-time prompts in BRs for Planning 11.1.1

Hi to all!
I want to create a run-time prompt for periods for which the calculation is to be done in my business rule. So via Tools>Variables I created a global variable of MemberRange type, then I inserted this variable in the Fix statement of my business rule in Calculation Manager but the validation of the rule fails stating that the BR has a run-time prompt which is not allowed. I have not found anything in the documentation on how to allow runtime prompts in a BR, so I would be very grateful for hints on how to correct it.

Hi,
For global variables:
Run EAS console
Right click on your Essbase server (e.g. localhost)
Edit - Variables
Set names and values of global variables for all apps and all dbs (if you need so)
These names of global variables you can use in your BRs and CalcMngr scripts.
For local BR variables:
Run EAS
Create new BR
Go to "Variables" tab
Add local variables as "Member" type / "Run-time prompt" usage type
These names of global variables you can use in your BRs scripts.
For global BR variables:
Run EAS
Open BR - Global variables
Create new global variable as "Member" type / "Run-time prompt" usage type
These names of global variables you can use in your BRs scripts.

EAS 11.1.2 - Java 1.6 - Administration Server tab doesn't appear.

Hello,
I am running EAS 11.1.2 on Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2 64bit and Java 1.6.0_20.
After signing into EAS I open File > Open and try to click on the Administration Server tab but nothing appears. The other 2 tabs, File System and Essbase Server, work fine.This happed on a previous version of Essbase as well and I eventually just reverted back to Java 5 and it worked fine.
What needs to be done so I am able to view the Administration Server tab on Platform 1.6?
Thanks, Sam.

This article from My Oracle Support might be useful: Troubleshooting the Business Rules Command Line Launcher (CmdLnLauncher) [ID 1173313.1]
And specifically this part:
Error: "Error While Sending Command to HBR Server Running Within the EAS Server"
Symptoms
CmdLnLauncher utility fails with the following error,
"Error while sending command to HBR Server running within the EAS server."
Cause
JDK 1.6 installed on the server. This is picked up as the default Java Runtime resulting in issues running CmdLnLauncher utility. The 11.1.1.x release supports JDK 1.5
You can verify what version of Java is installed on the server by executing command 'Java -version' from a command prompt.
Solution
Uninstall JDK 1.6 and install version 1.5.
If uninstalling is not an option you can perform the following steps to workaround the issue:
1. Edit CmdLnLauncher.bat
2. Add path to JRE 1.5 before -DHBR_HOME
Example of CmdLnLauncher.bat:
set CPATH=..\lib\CmdLnLauncher.jar
set CPATH=%CPATH%;..\lib\easclientplugin.jar
set CPATH=%CPATH%;..\lib\log4j-1.2.8.jar
set CPATH=%CPATH%;..\lib\framework_common.jar
set CPATH=%CPATH%;..\lib\eas_common.jar
rem set CPATH=%CPATH%;..\lib\jaxp-api.jar
rem set CPATH=%CPATH%;..\lib\jdom.jar
set CPATH=%CPATH%;..\lib\dom.jar
set CPATH=%CPATH%;..\lib\xercesImpl.jar
C:\Hyperion\common\JRE\Sun\1.5.0\bin\java -DHBR_HOME=..\.. -cp %CPATH% com.hyperion.hbr.cmdlnlauncher.CmdLineLauncher %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6
3. Save Changes to CmdLnLauncher.bat file.

How to get 'clover.cmd' running as Windows service?

Right now I have the InDesign instances all running great as services so on a server reboot they start up fine. The clover/lbq part is just the .cmd script and it's not running as a service. I looked in the documentation but haven't found any info on getting clover to run as a Windows service.
Anyone know how to set it to do this? I'm on InDesign CS6 (server).
thanks.

This information is in the Install Guide that comes with EAS.Running EAS as a Windows service is an option you can select when you install it. If you did not do that, you can set it up to run as service by doing the following: (From the EAS Install Guide)----------------------------------------Adding Administration Server as a Windows ServiceYou can add Administration Server as a Windows service, even if it was not installed as a Windows service.?To add Administration Server to the list of Windows services:1. From a command prompt, navigate to the following directory: EASPATH\eas\server\bin2. Run the following command: install_service.batAdministration Services installs the Windows service as Hyperion-Essbase_Administration_Server Windows service. A message displayed in the command prompt window indicates that the service is installed.3. Start the Hyperion-Essbase_Administration_Server Windows service.

EAS/AAS Calc Script Editor - Syntax Check

Hey folks. I've got a very small problem that has been driving me nuts.
When I validate a calc script, the syntax check always tells me "syntax check was successful" whether the calc is valid or not. I've tried every silly way to get the check to fail but the calc always comes back as valid. (added my name to calc. typed a sentence about what I had for lunch into a calc. nothing works)
The lack of validation has forced me to write clean calcs on the first try so it hasn't been all that bad.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there a setting I can change somewhere? I never had this problem at my last job where we were running EAS 7.1.6, but here we are running AAS 9.3.0.1.0 Build 5. Normally I run AAS through Citrix, but I get the same result if I remote directly to the server.
I appreciate any help you can offer.

Unfortunately, this version of EAS was very buggy. Lots of validation errors were not trapped. Upgrading to 9.3.1 significantly improved the quality of EAS formula validations.

ASO outline 11mg 1/2 hr to open in EAS

I have an ASO outline the takes 1/2hr or more to open in EAS. I have compacted the db and checked deleted members. Nothing has helped. Does anyone have some tuning tips?

I am currenly using EAS installed on my desktop because the EAS server we have installed would give me out of memory errors immediately when I would click to open the outline. To prove it wasn't my laptop I installed the server app on my laptop and was able to open the outline, but it takes 1/2 hr or longer. EAS server is intalled on a virtual Linux (RedHat) server that was limited to 500 mg. I have sent in a request for the admins to increase the RAM available to that virtual, then we can increase the .lax file setting. The desktop I'm running EAS off of now has 1.48 gb 4 cpu. 64 gb free space.
Thanks,

The RDBMS for EAS

Hi There, I understand an RDBMS is required to use the Log Analyzer functionality in Essbase Administration Services. Lets say, one doesnt want to use such functionality. Can one install EAS without a relational database?? Thanks Kizi.

EAS uses a database a repository for a number of reasnons, not just for log analyzer. For example, EAS security and user configuration resides on the database. For small installations, the bundled MySQL database is quite sufficient for use. You can use to another RDBMS if you have one easily accessible. Our production EAS runs on the WebSphere app server and the SQL Server RDBMS that we have for our Anayzer and Reports applications. But I keep another instance of EAS Server on my desktop using the bundled Tomcat and MySQL. The repository is necessary for the operation of EAS. So you will need an RDBMS to run EAS. But the good news is you can easily use the bundled MySQL database incurring no cost for the RDBMS. The MySQL database uses few system resurces in support of EAS, and the installation does all of the required administration.

11.1.2 print server installation

Hi All,
I wonder if anyone has had experience of installing 11.1.2 in a primarily Solaris environment.
For our installation - everything seems to be going quite well apart from getting PDF's from financial reports.
Since the print server needs to run on Windows - we have installed it in Windows Server 2003 and gone through the configuration. However when running a report in PDF, workspace shows the loading message forever and never returns a PDF. It is fine in HTML.
Our environment is:
Solaris 10 VM for foundation services - running Shared Services, Workspace and APS.
Solaris 10 VM for essbase - running just Essbase.
Solaris 10 VM for reporting services - running EAS, Essbase Studio, Web Analysis, Financial Reporting, Reporting and Analysis
Windows Server 2003 VM for the Financial
Looking at the logs give some clues that there are attempts to access non existent files and I believe I know the problem is where I configured the R&A repository directory on the server which for the both installs was local. On the unix install some of these errors are looking at paths to a C: drive (i.e. the print server install location). It looks like I need to configure both to the same location.
So the advice I'm after is:
- should I setup a unix share through Solaris and try and get the print server to access this
- or should I setup a windows share and get both services to access this also.
Or is there any other way to do this. The install guide is quite vague about the repository location.
Cheers,
Dan

Hi, dlclarke
I have a similar scenario here and also can't get the PDF output with 11.1.2. Right the same symptom and a very similar environment.
One of the servers is a Linux 64bits with Essbase, WA, RA Framework, Foundation, Financial Reporting (except print server). The other is a VM with Windows 2008 64bits and ghoscript 8.63 32 bits with the Print Server.
The Print Server is configured but when you open a financial reporting as PDF it becames loading and loading forever. The output of the Print Server is:
Financial Reporting Print Server started successfully.
Exception in thread "Thread-13" java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:399)
at com.hyperion.reporting.printserver.PrintServer.setOutputFileName(Unkn
own Source)
at com.hyperion.reporting.printserver.PrintInstanceThread.run(Unknown So
urce)
Was your problem appeared to mine? Is it needed to create a folder share between both hosts?
Another thing, in what log files had you found errors looking for a C: drive path?
Thank you in advance.

Variable in the Load Rule file

Hi,
We're running EAS 9.3.1 and trying to update a load rule to include a substitution variable in the header. The load rule works fine when the member name is defined explicitly and the variable works fine in the calc scripts. Any ideas? I tried removing the quotes and the & symbol already. See error below.
Reading Rule SQL Information For Database [Plan1]
Reading Rules From Rule Object For Database [Plan1]
Unknown member [&CalcVersion] found while processing string ["Budget","&CalcVersion","Load","Functional"]
Unexpected Essbase error 1019026
Thanks.

Did you remove the quotes by using the replace in "field Properties" and Global properties tab? I am trying to replace double quotes with null in the data file and it does not seems to be working.
Thanks

Admin Services - Data Prep Editor: Save, Open, Open Data File - Hangs

The problem is that whever I try to Open, Open Data File or Save while in Data Prep Editor, the Admin Console Hangs. It shows as Responding in the task manager, but the screen turns grey (hangs) and the admincon.exe process is constant at about 50% CPU.
I don't know what is going on? Is there possibly some corrupt disk area on my PC? I checked everyone on forums, tried to find the answer, but no info is availabe? I re-installed to JRE 1.5, I checked the java environmental variables. I did so much, but nothing has worked.
At first I thought it might have been some 9.3.1 bug, so I unistalled 9.3.1 and installed EPM System 11; still same problem!!
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have a similar problem, when I try to open a data file, nothing happens.... app doesn't lock, just the file open dialog box never opens... I'm using 9.3.1, and the same problems happens, on EAS installed locally, Web client, and running EAS from the app server itself. The load rule works fine, I just can't see a data file in the prep editor. Any thoughts help are appreciated.

Essbase DataExport to relational: where to define the dsn?

I am running Essbase 11.1.1.2, and using DataExport in a calc to generate a flat file. Now I want to push the data into a relational table using:
DATAEXPORT "DSN" "dsnName" "tableName" "userName" "password"
What do I need to do to get the 'dsnName' recognizable to the Essbase server? ODBC, tnsnames? I assume whatever I do should be done on the Essbase server and not on the client where I am running EAS.
Thanks

Thank you John. After updating the odbc.ini file, do I need to restart the Hyperion services? I am expecting that I will see an entry in the 'sql data source' on the left side of the 'open sql data sources' for load rules, but this dropdown and radio button is disabled, but then I have not entered the 'connect' information on the right-hand of 'server', 'application', 'database' or 'dictionary path'. I was expecting that I would have different options here, for the Oracle database.
? Thanks - Davis

How to set Essbase Administration Server as Windows service?

Maxl Script will not write to error file for data laod.

Sorry Glenn here is the new thread. I re ran without the semi colon after data 3 and the same error came up without anything being written to the error file.
I purposely removed a member from the orginal outline that is included in the data loaded but yet the error file is not written to. I tried doing the load manually but executing it in the background, error file is to be created on my local HD but it does not write it there. Checked the output and it is written to a directory located on the server. Although i think this is normal.
Could it be that it will not write to a local drive? I am going to try specifying a spot on the server to see if it runs there.
thanks
Original post below.
Hello,
I am also having this issue.
I will include my script below but will state some details before
We are on Essbase 11.1.1.3
I am running Admin Console from my client PC that connects to the server in the script and I read that in this set up the error file will not get written to. This documentation was for v 9.1.3
Here is my script (i changed some of the names)
login 'user' 'password' on server';
create application 'Money1' as 'Money2';
spool stderr on to 'errorfile';
import database 'Money1'.'Main' data
from local text data_file 'Money1_Data.txt'
using server rules_file 'Data3'
on error append to 'dataload.err';
execute calculation 'CALC ALL;' on 'Money1'.'Main';
logout;
spool off;
exit;
here is the error output i get:
code line: on error append to 'dataload.err';
Statement executed with warnings.
(3) Syntax error near ['$']
I don't see a dollar sign anywhere in my code and the error file does not get produced.
Also do error files get written too if the actins are executed in the background?
Thanks!
Alex

This works for me in a MaxL script run through essmsh.exe:
import database appname.dbname data from local text data_file "d:\\datafilename.txt" using server rules_file "rulename"
on error write to "d:\\errorfilename.err" ;Sometimes EAS (I think you are running it through that) does weird things to MaxL. I eschew MaxL in EAS as much as possible (like 100% of the time).
NB -- the datafilename and errorfilename and their drive letters are local to wherever you're running this process through the MaxL shell. I don't know how that works when you're running EAS -- are drives local to your session, local to the EAS server? Dunno. Leave EAS behind, buy TextPad (no I am not the author of that fine product) and download the MaxL syntax library, and be happy. :)

Put the MaxL into a code block to get it to display correctly.

Opening 11mg ASO outline takes forever

I have an 11mg ASO outline with 1 simple formula in accounts dim. It takes 1/2 hr to open my outline in edit mode in EAS. Is there something I can do to improve the performance? I have compacted the database and checked the deleted members option. EAS 7.1.3. Didn't seem to help.

I am currenly using EAS installed on my desktop because the EAS server we have installed would give me out of memory errors immediately when I would click to open the outline.

Report script will not finish

We are running EAS report script via batch scripts using mxl. These report scripts have not changed and at the time of running, nothing else is runnign onthe server. The report scripts will run for about 10minutes (which nroamlly take about 15 to complete) and it stops and says "administrator has temporarily disables commands". we have ran the unlock utility and stopped and restarted the application and still face the same issue. No settings have been changed on the server and the same reports ranthis morning, yet error out this afternoon with no change. We are on 11.1.2 planning. Any ideas?

Is server busy with many connections (User sessions) ??
(or)
Did you feel slow when you are trying to retreive that time?
Some times every thing works slow..like when we are trying to retreive the data it is processing forever..In that case,I have restarted my server and every thing works fine....
