Shared Service Authentication Failure with Essbase.

Hi can anyone help. I am using 9.3.1. SS & EAS and an instance of Essbase are already installed and configured i am just adding in an additional essbase server to scale out due to application growth.
I have added in a new essbase server, successfully added the new server into the EAS console. Also Successfully externalised the users.
On selecting OK on the dialogue box to say that the convert to shared service mode was successful the EAS console has chucked out the following error message:-
Analytical Services user [essadmin] Authentication Fails against the Shared Services Server with Error[Failed to authenticate user essadmin against provider Native Directory].
Now as i did not have the orginal essadmin password, i was unable to use this (and this does have a native account in SS). I Did however use essadmin as a username and created a new password, i have not however created this as a native account in SS as i thought the system would get confused with two essadmin accounts and i don;t want to affect the current essbase system that is running. The users would kill me!!!.
Does anyone know how i can correct this issue?
Thanks

It would really help,if someone can reply and give advice on the problem mentioned in the original post.

Shared Services doesnt show my Essbase server

Hi, im wondering if anyone out there can help.
I have been working on a new System9 Installation.
I have installed all of the Foundation software (Shared Services), Web analysis on a windows 2003 32 bit server and installed the Essbase application on a windows 64bit. I have gone through the configuration process and registered all of the products with shared services, however when i connect to shared services through http://SERVER:port/interop/ and sign in i cant see the essbase server? im really lost with this and not sure what to try.
I have set up my SQL databases and shared severices is talking to them i guess as SS works. (HSS, BIPLUS)
On all the setups i left the standard defualt credentials as the same. so on the essbase install the user name is admin and password, password for instence. Does this make a difference?
Any help will be greatly appreciated as i am very lost with this.

Hi,
You won't see the essbase server in shared services until you convert essbase to shared services security mode.
If you log into EAS and connect to your essbase server, expand the server and right click security, choose "Externalize Users", then follow the options to convert to shared services security, more detailed information available at :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_eashelp/sec_mode.htm

Shared Services Authentication

Hi,
Would anyone be able to tell me whether they are using ADAM for authentication rather than MSAD in Shared Services. Our company is promoting the use of ADAM over MSAD, however I can't see whether its officially supported by Oracle/Hyperion products.
We're proceeding to test with ADAM, but i'm not sure if we'll encounter any obstacles in the future. Any war stories here?
Help much appreciated,
Graeme Newlands.

Hi,
thank you very much for the quick reply.
So we migrated 200 users (which got a new password from the externalise process) they need to send a password the whish to have?!
Thats not really nice :D

Shared Services Security Issue with Financial Reporting - 11.1.1.3

Hi,
So we have some users that are provisioned in some groups. Those groups have Essbase Server Access and Planner access to an application. That access is working great. They have access to the app and they have access via Smartview to the cube.
Now we need them to be able to see all the Financial Reports (FR) created for that application. There are so many provisioning choices under 'Reporting and Analysis', that I'm not sure how to get this done correctly. Right now we have to assign 'Viewer' access and 'Explorer' access under 'Content Manager' tree in order for this to happen. I just think this seems wrong. We just need the user to be able to run and view a report from Workspace.
Any help is appreciated as this is a very green area for me.

Hi,
You will need both Viewer and Explorer access for users to run reports.
the reason is that without the Explorer, users will not be able to see any reports or the explorer in Workspace.
Without Viewer, users will not be able to view/open any of the reports. You also have to give report access to users anyway related to the groups.
You can see anll information about different security roles for Reporting and Analysis in the shared Services admin guide.
The documentation is the best place to start for any information needed and confirming what fulfills your needs.

Projects dropped from shared services when creating an essbase application

When we try to create an essbase application via EAS - there is an error message Unable to createExternalUser. then when we log in to shared services - there are no projects available.
This is for version 9.3.1.0

Hi Cameron,
many thanks for your answer.
Well let me explain a little bit further:
I created an own security module which manages the whole security in Essbase. I get the grants from a corporate system and then just apply them by some definitions natively in Essbase using filters etc.
To make sure the grants on the server are exactly the same as the grants that get delivered to me, I export the complete security in Essbase using MaxL and import it to a relational DB. I then check whether there are any grants which shouldn't be there and vice versa.
If now an admin user creates an application, he gets an additional application manager grant for this application. He does not loose his admin permissions.
Now in my check this application manager grant pops up as this grant is not in the corporate system but created Essbase internally when a application is created.
If I export the complete security this application manager grant is there.
I would like to get rid of these errors in my check. Also it makes no sense that an admin user gets an Application Manager grant because he already has that permission as an admin user.
I already searched the documentations but didn't find a setting to disable this behaviour of Essbase.
Btw. Essbase version is 11.1.1.3.
Maybe someone of you guys know if there is any chance to do this - if not, I have to find another solution.
Thanks and kind regards,
Thomas

Essbase Registration With Shared Services Fails...

Hi all,
I have three system A, B, C in a distributive manner. A has only Oracle 11g and Essbase Server. B has Shared Services, Planning, Essbase Essbase Components, Workspace. C has EPMA, Calc Manager, Reporting Analysis. I created separate database for each components. While configuring I do the following-
-> First on B I configured Shared Services/Common Settings with its database(1st Time). I could see the green tick.
-> On A I configured Shared Services/Common Settings with previously configured database. I could see green tick.
-> On A configure Essbase Server, here I get the error which shows Register with Shared Services failed.
Examining the configtool_err.log navigate to D:\Hyperion\logs\config folder I see the following message-
(Jun 10, 2009, 01:13:32 PM), com.hyperion.cis.config.wizard.RunAllTasksWizardAction, ERROR, Shared Services Registration task can not be executed because Shared Services instance is not available in Registry
(Jun 10, 2009, 01:13:42 PM), com.hyperion.essbase.config.EssbaseAgentTaskProcessor, ERROR, Error in executing the script to register Essbase as a service: exitCode = 1
I am using v11.1.1.1 on Win 2003.
Can anyone pls help me how to solve this??
Thanks.

Thanks John. I was so anxious to get a response from you. See, on the machine where only Essbase Server is installed( and 11g as well), on configuration page I get two options- Hyperion Foundation and Essbase. Now Hyperion Foundation( Configure Database and Common Settings) configuration is done properly with previously configured database.
Now in Essbase node there is Essbase and under it is Essbase Custom Configuration. when I try to configure it I get the error that Register to Shared Services failed. I could see green tick on Essbase Custom Configuration, but a red cross on Essbase.
What needs to be done John?? Please help.

Clarification regarding Shared services and essbase security

Hi,
Sorry for the silly doubt. We have shared services to manage security, essbase v 9
1. to assign calc access for users, do i assign calc scripts under databases in group security and assign users to groups in shared services or do it via access control in shared services?
2. If in shared services i havent given calc access but in eas user belongs to a group with that particular calc script access, which would take precedence?
Regards,
N shah

In shared services, when i click on a particular application under the essbase server under the projects folder, there are cases where there are no users or groups under the 'available users and groups'. Why is this so? groups and users are supposed to be there.
Also, in a different application, i saw one available user. however when i try to provide calc access. its not changing anything. I select the calc script and then click the check mark. however nothing changes. The calc access for the user is specified as none. When i login to excel with the same user id, i can see all the calc scripts available for the user. Where are the details being picked up from.??

Automagic User Provisioning Essbase + Shared Services

Hello All,
I have recently been able to figure out how to use the Shared Services API for 11.1.2 in a previous post:
Shared Service API Working 11.1.2
However, all of the user management and provisioning examples work with native users. Has anyone used this API with active directory or LDAP users? Is there some other way (export/import utility)?
My problem is that I need to be able to script the user management with shared services and have not been able to find much help. In the past, we ran Essbase in standalone mode and were able to handle this via MaxL generating essbase native user accounts. This will no longer work since we want to use shared services when upgrading to Essbase 11.

After your comments I looked a bit more closely at the DDL for create user. It looks like i need "type external";
MAXL> create user 'someuser' type external;
OK/INFO - 1056060 - User [jdp5209] created.
This is what i want!
MAXL> create user 'someuser' identified by 'somepass';
OK/INFO - 1056060 - User [someuser] created.
This is not what i want, creates Shared Services native user.
It seems obvious now, but before, shared services (CSS module to essbase) was "external" so the old external is the new native.
Sorry, new to shared services! This works. Thanks all

Externalizing Essbase when Shared Services is enabled

version: 11.1.1.3
OS: Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.5
We have run into issues configuring Essbase to use externalization because Shared Services was implemented with SSL.
1. Is the below order correct for configuration:
1a. Configure Shared Services (check SSL option) on server1
1b. Configure EAS on server1
1c. Configure Essbase on server2
1d. Externalize EAS
1e. Externalize Essbase
1f. Implement SSL in Shared Services.
2. Alternative order for configuration:
2a. Configure Shared Services (check SSL option) on server1
2b. Implement SSL in Shared Services.
2c. Configure EAS on server1
2d. Configure Essbase on server2
2e. Externalize EAS
2f. Externalize Essbase
Q:
What is the recommended order?
The configuration documentation does not specify the order. It has different sections on the configuring and implementing SSL, it does not specify the correct order.

Hi,
You have to configure and deploy Shared Services for SSL before configuring and deploying all the other applications that need to be SSL enabled. So in your case option 2 is first.
The document for setting up EPM for SSL says that you must do Shared Services first.

Hi All,
How can we Register essbase server to shared service in Unix server. Can anyone please let me know the procedure or steps.
Thanks

Do you mean convert essbase to shared services security as you should of registered essbase with shared services when you configured essbase.
You can convert essbase to shared services security via EAS, right click security.

Register essbase to shared service in different box

hi all,
i try to install essbase in diferent machine than the other hyperion application (shared service, planning).
does anyone know how to register essbase to the shared service?
rgrds,
tyo

You can configure directly with multiple essbase servers to single shared services....
After installation on essbase server, configuration, provide the other server (shared services server details) to register with shared services, so that new essbase server will register.

Error configuring shared services with Oracle 11g database

I can't proceed with the shared services configuration because in just the first page of it, I'm encountering the error Unable to check Shared Services database existence: an error occured.'
I believed the shared services is bundled with the foundation if I'm not mistaken, because I can't find any download related to it on edelivery site.
I tried to configure only the Foundation components but the '*Comman setting*' & '*configure database*' are grayed out so I have no option but to figure out first this shared services configuration.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thanx John for your kind reply. i reffred your other posts and those are very helpfull for me.
I don't have any previous ver. of Hyperion. and i created a new database 'Orcl' for configuring the shared services and given the user name as 'hss'. i also tried to delete my old database and and reg.properties file from Hyperion Dir u suggested in some other post. but still its not working.
Today I have started again with fres installation of Windows Server 2003 oracle 11g EPM 11.1.3.
