Shared services and Essbase Sync issue

Hi,
Today morning all of sudden lot of users raised an issue that they can't see few applications while connecting through Smart view. I have checked Shared services and the groups are already provisoned. Finally I ran alter system resync sss and after the syncing its fine.
Any reasons why this morning Syncing was not there.
Thanks..

Its fascinating, if the users are provisioned too they can see other applications in smart view and that's what I heard but never checked on it, Is there any possible filters where they cant see it ?
If so please let me know.

Regarding Shared Services and Essbase Access

Hello,
I am curious on few things regarding how Essbase and Shared services are interlinked.
Basically we have created Essbase Filters to limit the User access to specific entities , my concern is if a User is trying to Run a report or retrieve through Smart View and if they don't have access to any one of the list of Filter definitions say if there are X , Y ,Z entities in the Spread sheet for Smart View retrieval or in a report and the user does not have privilege for Z do they still get terminated from the entire Essbase Applications. I encountered similar type of problem with one of the users today.
Any comments.
Thanks !

Thanks for the reply Glenn , yes it should not get disconnected or have any connection issue. But below is what the error we get when using Essbase security filter.
**** Cannot Open Member Selection. Essbase Error(1001064):You do not have sufficient access to perform read on this database ****

Shared Services and Essbase

Hello All,
Pretty much an undesired Bug, Basically there is an ID listed as an Essbase admin which yes it was few months back. At present that ID has been removed from Shared Services , also I checked in the list of Essbase Users within EAS and did not find the ID.
Interesting thing ***** When I exported the Essbase security file I could see that ID listed as an Admin , not sure how it comes up only in Security file but not any where else.
Is there any issue between Essbase and Shared services communication, because the Essbase should refresh Manually for any changes in the Shared Services.
Any comments Friends ?
Thanks !!

Its probably worth having a read of the following docs in Oracle Support as they should give an idea
Deleting a User/Group from Shared Services Does Not Delete it from the Essbase Security File [ID 1388447.1]
How to Delete a User from the 11.1.2.x Essbase.sec File [ID 1396890.1]

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.??

Shared Services and Essbase Server Access Question

Hi,
It seems that we have to assign Essbase Server access at the individual username level and that groups don't work when it comes to Essbase Server Access. Is this correct or are we doing something wrong and groups do work with Essbase Server access? We are on 11.1.1.3 Essbase/Planning/Shared Services.
Thanks

You can provision Essbase Server Access via groups but it must be the very first thing provisioned and pushed to Essbase. Then after that, provision your groups with other accesses such as Planning, Reports etc....

Issue bringing up Shared Services and Planning

Hi guys,
We have added 3 new MSAD to our Shared Services for user authentication, previously we already had 2 setup and working fine.
Now that we added the 3 new ones, we restarted Planning and Shared services and now it doesn't come back up.
We see the following error message on the logs:
2009-11-27 17:05:09,702 [Thread-23] WARN com.hyperion.css.spi.impl.msad.MSADCacheUpdater.updateUserCache(Unknown Source) - Ignoring User. Error getting User for User Cache:[LDAP: error code 32 - 0000208D: NameErr: DSID-031001CD, problem 2001 (NO_OBJECT), data 0, best match of:

     'DC=IL,DC=xx,DC=Corp'
These "xx" we are just using because of the company name but it has the right name
That's the security log for Shared Services.
Do you have an idea of what I can do either to bring it up with the new MSAD or delete the newly created and bring it back up?
Thanks in advance

Usually your MSAD admins will have a master domain setup that has access to all geographic specific domains. You would have a user setup in this higher level domain
Let's say you have the following setup:
na.ad.co.com
sa.ad.co.com
eme.ad.co.com
jp.ad.co.com
cn.ad.co.com
You would just need one domain setup at ad.co.com with a user who has read access to that directory. The way Shared Services security is setup you may need to re-provision some users with that new global provider and I highly recommend using a group filter -- your group filter can be in any of the domains just all users would need to be added to it in that domain.

Shared Services and Planning Synchronization

Ok, this is probably useful for a lot of people, but can anyone articulately explain the relationship between MSAD (or whatever the source security system is), Shared Services, and Planning? There are like 5 utiities and or Web Client buttons that claim to sync different parts to each other.
MSAD is the source system. It is "plugged into" Shared Services. (Are these always in sync, is there some utility to run to sync them?)
Then there is this Shared Services "Native Directory" what is this? There is a "Sync Native Directory" button in Shared Services, what does this sync?
Assuming that SS is synced with MSAD, we then turn to Planning. In Planning, there are "Migrate Identities" and "Remove Non-Provisioned Users/Groups" buttons. What do these buttons sync, and is Migrate Identities the same as the ProvisionUsers.cmd utility?
I want to know the best way to keep all this in sync, MSAD to SS and SS to Planning. Is any of this automatic, and if I need to run manual utilities, which ones do I need to run and which "buttons" do I need to push.
thanks
-Patrick

Hi,
Ok here goes, I am not really sure which version you are on because there was a bit of a change between 9.2 and 9.3 with regards to MSAD (uses the ObjectGUID instead of SamAccountName)
Sync Native Directory - Shared Services contains all the product registration details, OpenLdap (Native Directory) stores all the provisioning, sometimes it is possible they could go out of sync which is pretty rare, so the sync native directory makes sure Shared Services and Open Ldap are in sync.
Migrate Identities - I think this is more of the line of the updateusers.cmd utility where if a user has changed in the directory (this was more of an issue when SamAccountName was used as users group change OUs in the Active Directory) it will update the planning table with the new details.
Remove-Non Provisioned Users/Groups - I am sure this doesn't actually work and has been removed in later versions, it is meant to clear up users/groups in the planning tables where there don't exist in Shared Services anymore.
It depends what you mean by is MSAD always in sync with Shared Services, if you are using 9.3 and configured to use the ObjectGUID then it is pretty much in sync as the id is not likely to change, if you are using SamAccountName and a user moves place in the organisational structure then it can go out of sync. There is another ultilty for that :) (update native directory utility)
If you run the provision users utility after you have provisioned a user in shared services it will add the user to the planning tables and also push the user to essbase.
All depends what you are finding is it a problem to what utility to you want to use.

EPM 11.1.1.3 Shared Services and Registration

Hi all,
I installed EPM 11.1.1..3 on a windows 2003 server
Install is ok. I then used config tool to configure repositories (Oracle 10g) , deploy ( Websphere 6.1) and register with shared services :
Here is my issue : I can log to shared services but I cannot create any application group : log says I try to add a duplicate name ( tried several times with different names , still same error ) , I cannot provision anything for user admin ( shared services console says no application is available or insufficient rights)
During configuration for eas, planning... , database connections where ok, deployment ok but they all failed the registration with shared services. Log says there is an oracle error 1722 , invalid number !!
When externalizing users in Essbase , it fails saying "UnableToGetNodeRevisionDescriptor"
Checked database settings ( UTF8) looks fine. I tried to deploy shared services with tomcat same problem...
If you have any ideas or hints , I would appreciate
Thanks

Hi Christophe
Try to reinstall shared services then run configuration only for shared services commons setting and database. after that configure "server deployement. then stop shared services web application and open LDAP server. start it again. check that shared services works perfectly by launching the web app.
After that configure the other products one by one.

Shared services and workspace architecture(How we can find out req &respon)

Good morning Hyperion folks,
Does any body have any document or PDF about workspace and shared service architecture...How these both components are communicate each other..any idea or any document..while communicating of these if anything goes wrong,,where we need to check, what is exactly the problem (any suggestible logs)...
Company are doing big mistake by using this hyperion tool ..These guys are not supporting and even they don't know much about the tool apart Product dev team..and that too they are not disclosure any documents related product...
**Does anybody found any kind performance tunning guide or lab guide about workspace and shared service HFM,Planning...** I have never seen component wise documents and tunning guide and recommendations.
I am strong opnion about hyperion is,we would not get any support from oracle and documents so He can migrate Cognos TM1 and Finance management etc........

Ex :1.Per suppose log on to workspace that request goes to shared services directory and it will check whether that user is exists or not on Shared services tables ...here what kind of alogirtham using to aunthenticate user...How we can diagonse this process taking to much time,,,is there any specific logs related this (If logs are exsits how we can find out)...
2.Once authencation done successfully and responce send to workspace and populate workspace home page...then i click on application button (FM application) and it's taki ng to much time to load HFM page.To this where we need to look whta excatly problem? what are logs file helpful to us to diagonse..

Hyperion EPM: Will Oracle Express suffice for Shared Services and Registry?

Hi.
I'm trying to install Hyperion EPM on Linux to make use of the Hyperion Interactive Reporting server components to allow report scheduling, web delivery of reports, etc. My data sources will all be MySQL. I'm at the point where I'm attempting to use the EPM Configurator for setting up Shared Services and Registry Database Connection. It seems my options for choosing a database on which to allow Shared Services and Registry data to reside are limited to 3: Oracle, SQL Server or DB2 (noticeably absent is MySQL)
So, it looks like I'm going to have to install an Oracle DB instance at the very least.
My question is this:
Can I get away with just installing Oracle Express for the Shared Services and Registry or will I have to install a full blown Oracle DB instance?
Thanks
-- Tom

Hi, I confirm that you can use Oracle Express for Shared services and registry. We have installed the complete EPM platform on a single virtual machine using Oracle Express. It’s interesting to use it because Oracle Express use less resource. We can run this virtual machine on a computer that only have 4GB of RAM and get good performance (for a single user).
I recommend using it for proof-of-concept and Bootcamps.
