Shared Services User Reports - for HFM Users

Does anyone have some good material or knowledge they can share with me today regarding the following Shared Services topics?
1. What might cause a run of the Users By Group report to fail? After about 15 mins bombs out and receive the following error: "User not found with identity = ntlm:SID=S-1-5-21-787380144-986785343-375376054-10174?USER(-2147216700). Then gives much more detail on error.
2. How to remove users that appear under admin role but not in default?
3. For audit (TODAY), ideally should produce a report of HFM users – including dates (when added, when security /provisioning was changed for them) – is there a report or combo of reports that will provide this information?
Any help or a point in the right direction is hugely appreciated.
Thank you!

Ok - just some pointers, so use as suits.
1: this looks like it is not seeing your AD/NTLM user. You see a similar SID if in Properties of any file share where the connection to the domain is not available, or the user no longer exists. Remember, if a user ID in NTLM or AD has been changed, Shared Services does not recognise this, and stores the original SID, so you need to remove and reprovision the user.
2. The cleanest INHO is to do a CSS Import/Export and 'clean' the file. RTFM :)
3. There are some reports in Shared Services, but see if this is of use - especially the Security Matrix, (http://www.epmmaestro.com/dnn/Products/EPMWebSymphony/tabid/56/Default.aspx)
Good luck

IOP 11.1.2.0 integration with Shared Services (User Provisioning)

In the IOP 11.1.2.0 install guide, the Admin and Admin provisioning roles are provisioned through Shared Services.
"Provision Integrated Operational Planning Administrator and Integrated Operational Planning
Provisioning Manager roles for the Integrated Operational Planning instance to the Admin user through
Oracle's Hyperion® Shared Services Console
a. Connect to the Oracle's Hyperion® Shared Services Console; for example, http://
hss_server:hssserver_port/interop.
b. Log in as the administrator.
c. Expand User Directories and Native Directory.
d. Select Users and click Search.
e. Right-click the Admin user and select Provision.
f. Expand Default Application Group.
g. Expand the Integrated Operational Planning instance created.
h. Highlight IOP Administrator and Provisioning Manager.
i. Click the right arrow in the middle of the two windows to select the roles.
j. Click Save, and then click OK."
The users and groups are defined in Shared Services, per the IOP 11.1.2.0 admin guide (p. 144).
Is there an IOP user provisioning example in the shared services user's guide, and which version of the guide would I find that in?
Access priveledges are controlled from the Admin workbench for IOP users, per p.145 of the IOP 11.1.2.00 user's guide.
Thank you.

IOP Roles are listed in the 11.1.2 Shared Services User and Role Security Guide, on page 158:
Integrated Operational Planning Roles

Shared Services Users Export............

Hi All,
I want to export shared services users for a particular application.
Is there any way for this?
Thanks

Yes, you can export / import the provisioning for a particular application.
By default the utility export all Users / Groups and provisioning for all applications.
To export provisioning for a particular application you need to modify the below parameters in CSS Import Export properties file.
export.provisioning.all=false
export.provisioning.apps=(<Project Name>:<Application Name>)(<Project Name 1>:<Application Name 1>)
Hope this helps you...
Kind regards,

Shared Services Users Disappear from Groups

We have Native Groups in Shared Services that we added users from our MSAD directory to. Yesterday we found that the groups no longer have these users in them and IT did say they did some moves in the directory over the weekend. But I'm wondering if that would really cause SS to drop all the users from the groups like this.
Basically, no one is able to log in although we are testing adding users back to the groups and think that's working.
I just don't want to have to re-create our groups anytime our MSAD is updated.
I'd appreciate any help in understanding this better,
Paul

Our MSAD administrators moved some OU's around one day and it caused a lot of problems for us since our Shared Services MSAD configuration setting for "User DN" had all the OU's hard coded or what have you. I had to change them to the same that the AD folks had changed them to, then restart everything.
So on the native side I can see how if they moved OU's around that could throw off what you had done. There's a utility which I've been too scared to use (probably harmless but I can't afford any mishaps) which tells Shared Services to search for MSAD changes and to force them through Shared Services, which is probably a nice thing to do once in a while especially when MSAD OU's are moved around. SS does not automatically poll for that type of change but you should be able to automate this.
There's an updatenativedir utility that you can read up on which might help. Don't forget to do backups first of all the security-related databases & files, etc. first.
Perhaps someone reading this is comfortable running UPDATENATIVEDIR and can help provide better guidance, if that's the issue here.

Need to migrate Shared services users and groups from 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.2 ver

Hi All,
We need to migrate Shared services users and groups from 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.2 version. Any help would be appreciated. Can we use CSS import export utility?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi John, In my another environment I have to migrate the users and groups from Hyperion HSS 11.1.1.2 to Hyperion shared services 11.1.2.2. I am using LCM for that, when I export the users and gropus from 11.1.1.2, it exports fine but when i import it to my 11.1.2.2 using LCM, I am getting the below errors.
Error when I try to import the groups:
ErrorEPMIE-00051: Failed to perform operation on role. Could not locate role matching filter {0} and filter attribute {1}. Please ensure that a role exists matching the filter with filter attribute.
EPMIE-00024: Failed to import all of the membership info for group test group. Invalid group members encountered. Please ensure the validity of members and its existence in their respective providers.
Errors when i try to import the users:
ErrorEPMIE-00051: Failed to perform operation on role. Could not locate role matching filter {0} and filter attribute {1}. Please ensure that a role exists matching the filter with filter attribute.
EPMIE-00020: Failed to update user 04668162 during import. Invalid identity for user. Please ensure that the user is available in the system with the identity specified in the import file.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

UsersByGroup SS report crashing;Shared Services Users not removed correctly

Apparently, there are not many experts on Shared Services – nor is there much documentation.
We have an urgent need to get a Users By Group report successfully run from an Shared Services installation today (auditors!)! Opening a support ticket as well as making last ditch attempts to get more suggestions on how to resolve.
It appears as those the users causing the problem (the UsersByGroup Shared Services reports crashes) are NTLM. Apparently, several users were removed – before they were de-provisioned. Now they are not appearing on the default area but are appearing in other areas within SS. An attempt to re-add them failed to sync them back up (likely gave them each a new SID). We believe it is likely that the two issues are related (the not quite completely deleted users and the User By Group report bombing out – due to a user – since the provisioning is there, but the user is not, for these instances). Two of the Users show under Admin also, which should not be the case.
Any suggestions on next steps would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
You should have a look at using the Update Native Directory Utility, this will clear out any stale users in your OpenLdap.
It should be situated in \Hyperion\common\utilities\SyncOpenLdapUtility
There is a zipped file called UpdateNativeDir.zip
It does have a read me on how to use it but it is pretty simple, on windows it is something like updateNativeDir.bat -cssLocation <location to your>CSS.xml
e.g updateNativeDir.bat -cssLocation C:\Hyperion\deployments\Tomcat5\SharedServices9\config\CSS.xml
You may need to update the bat file to include the correct location to your Java Home, you will get an error message anyway if it is not set correctly when you run the batch file.
It will create a log of all stale users removed.
Good luck.
John

Where is the Shared Services user security stored?

On Hyperion Planning 9.3. I can view the security of my users/groups via the report in Shared Services, yet I would like to put the output in Excel and there is no option other than Print/Print Preview.
which repository database contains the Shared Services security?
Thanks
JTS

Hi,
If you are talking about the security to members, forms then this is held in the planning application database.
If it is provisioning of the application then it is a combination of the Shared Services database and OpenLdap database. (not so easy just to create a report on the provisioning by looking at the database)

Shared Services User Directory

Hi Gurus,
I was wondering if there is a way of hiding the groups from the Microsoft Active Directory.
For example,
we want the users from Active directory, but when we check the properties of the users in shared services, it shows the user belonging to a lot of groups that are not hyperion-related. Is there a way to make sure that we see the user to be under only the native directory groups.
Thanks

In my production environment, i have a user "john"
When i look at the user's properties in shared services, the user is under only hyperion-related groups.
However, we have secondary environment, which we just imported the active directory, and on this one, the same user is under several more groups that are not related to hyperion, for example the user is under CITRIX group, and all other different ones.
Is it possible for us to filter so that the users will show only under the hyperion related groups

Shared Services Users

Our client wants that all the users logging for Hyperion application should be able to reset or change the default passwords.
As far as i know, while creating users for planning application administrator set the password for the users which can't be changed by users.
Any help Guys!

Hi,
You should use one of the active directories like MSAD then you will have much more control of user accounts, native security does not have many options.
Though I know users can change their password through excel addin, smart view and through workspace (I think), this is more aimed at essbase passwords but once as it is using shared services it will change it across the board.

How to see a shared services user in EAS Console?

Hii, I have externalized security for Essbase through shared services, now I created a new user in HSS & provisioned it with Filter, Write option in HSS. Now I refresh the security & want to see the user reflected in EAS console, I want this because I want to create essbase filters on that user. So if I am able to see that user in EAS Console, I can assign different filters to it. Can I do that?

Make sure you've done this if you have a problem: Re: Oracle EPM System Rel. 11.1.1.2 - Assign Essbase Filter in Shared Services
Follow John Goodwin's steps in this post: Unable to assign filters in Shared Services
Note Glenn's comment about sometimes having to assign the filters through MaxL because of issues although I think John's answer in the first post should help a lot.

Hyperion Shared Services Provisioning Report Automation

Hi,
Provisioning Report feature in Shared Services gives pretty much everything I am looking for. I need to send this data to another system that monitors entitlements on a daily basis. Is there a way to run the provisioning report in batch mode?
Plan B is to use LCM, but I haven't had any luck yet in exporting entitlements using it. Does LCM export external users provisioning information? Below is the export xml I am using.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package>
    <LOCALE>en_US</LOCALE>
    <User name="User" password="pwd"/>
    <Task>
        <Source type="Application" product="HUB" project="Foundation" application="Shared Services"/>
        <Target type="FileSystem" filePath="/HSS-Shared Services"/>
        <Artifact recursive="true" parentPath="/Native Directory/Assigned Roles/HFMApps" pattern="MYHFMAPP"/>
    </Task>
</Package>
Appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks,
Ethan.

If you want to automate a provisioning report then probably looking into the Java API would be a good option.
LCM will be able to extract the external users provisioning against applications in CSV format though it will be a seperate CSV per application.
Cheers

Shared services is asking for re-configuration.

Dear Gurus,
I am using 9.0 version shared services, it was working fine since long back, recently domain server have been changed, for the updation i edited the IP and restarted the shared services, surprisingly the shared services is not allowing me to login and is asking for re-configuration as the database is not configured properly.
I am using native directory also, so there should no data(user info and provision) loss.
i am going to perform the below steps:-
1) executing the Cssimportexport utility and take the back up.
2) taking the back-up of shared services repository
3) re-configuring the shared services with the existing repository.
4) executing the cssimportexport utility to restore
i have db-archive and db-recover utilities.
please let me know if iam going wrong.
thanks in advance
Giri Prasad

There is a document that I got from Oracle support called "System9-moving repository.doc" it goes thru the steps of rehosting. I it is more then just changing IP addresses. the document shows the configuration files that need to be modified and database entries.
You should request a copy from support.
