Support for Classic planning applications

Hi,
We have developed planning applicaiton using classic. Our client says that the support for classic planning applications will be withheld by oracle and so they want us to convert the classic to EPMA. Is it true that the support will be withheld?
Also it is not possible to load metadata to EPMA applications using Outlineload utility. Am i right?

Ragav.

Regards,
Ragav.I have never heard that mentioned by anybody, there are many classic applications out there that use outline loader, ODI, DIM to manage the planning applications metadata.
No you can't use the outline loader for EPMA, but there is a command line utility :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_batch_user/launch.html

  • OutlineLoad utility for Classic Planning v11.1.2

    Hi All,
    I am using OutlineLoad.cmd utility to build dimensions for classic planning applications in v11.1.2. The utility works fine and loads dimension on my sandbox environment.
    I need to load the dimensions to client's planning application. I used the following syntax to build dimension for application on client planning server, but it fails with an error message. I am able to ping the planning server successfully from my server, but cannot connect to the application using Outlineload utility.
    Syntax
    D:\ORCL\MW\user_projects\epmsystem1\Planning\planning1>OutlineLoad.cmd /S:<server> /A:PLANTEST /U:<username> /M /N /I:c:\Entity.csv /D:Entity /L:c:/outlineload.log /X:c:/outlineload.exc
    Error

    [Tue Jan 11 12:31:10 CST 2011]Unable to obtain dimension information and/or perf

    Please advise.
    Any inputs will be helpful.
    Thanks,
    DV

    Have you tried to log in through the web first to see if the user you use has admin access to the app?
    Also try with the native "admin" user, might help.

  • Classic Planning applications vs PMA Applications

    Hello Experts,
    "For Classic Planning applications, databases are created and maintained within Planning. For
    Performance Management Architect applications, applications are created in Performance
    Management Architect and deployed to Planning."
    Can anyone explain me, what is better to install --> Classic Planning Application or Performance Management Architect Application? Which is easier to work, what are the advantages and disadvantages? I´ve planned to install Planning 11.1.1.3.
    Thanks a lot!

    Here is my 2 cents.
    I just did EPMA and was told by many that they aren't using it or haven't used it so didn't have much back up.
    But I have to tell you I like EPMA much better that Classic planning once you get the hang of it. Also this is where Oracle is going with the product you might as well jump on the band wagon sooner rather than later (ie get used to Classic Planning then having to make the switch).
    I find that Classic Planning requires a lot of clicks to get some stuff done and is a bit more streamline in EPMA.
    That said EPMA still needs a lot of work. For example your Alias are kind of hidden in Dimension mode. Where I would rather the default be visible instead of having to go to alias and hit F2 to see 1 or all of them.
    One of the biggest reasons I like EPMA is Calc Manager. Business Rules sucks if you have to do a lot of calc (way way too many clicks). So as soon as I saw the power of Calc Manager I will never go back to Classic planning and business rules.
    Still EPMA is where things are going so you should go there first unless you find a bug then fall back to classic.
    One approach people have done though is to create the environment in classic planning and migrate it to EPMA. But if you don't know classic just load direct to EPMA in my opinion.
    Let's see what others say.

  • Can you copy Classic Planning Applications?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to take an existing Classic Planning application, and make a copy (or duplicate version) of it? For Essbase applications, this is a simple process in EAS, just right click the application and hit Copy. However, while this method will copy a Planning applicaiton's outline in EAS and nominally show a new application in Enterprise View, it does not actually create another application in the Planning workspace. This makes sense, because the process for creating Planning Applications is not done in EAS. There are two questions I have, and an answer to either would be appreciated. First, is it even possible to make a copy of a Classic Planning Application, in order to allow two different admins to work seperately in two independent applications that both begin with the same dimensions, outline hierarchy, data forms, task lists, user provisions, and initial data set? Second, if it is possible, what is the process, or could someone point me in the direction of where I may find this in guides? Thank you.

    Thanks,
    I am a bit confused by what you mean when you say "replace SQL repository". I am not very experienced in this area, I am using SQL Developer to access the RDBMS. Could you explain what the steps are for this? I can find the tables that are created when a new Planning App is made, but I'm not sure what they mean, so the more specific you can be, the more helpful it would be.
    Also, when in Shared Services, I select the artifacts I want to migrate, and then click Define Migration, bringing up the Migration Wizard. However, after I select the source (which is the Old Planning App), I click next to select the target, and the screen goes blank white and seems to be stuck. I can exit out of the screen, but I have let it load for 20 minutes now several times, and it just stays on this blank white screen, like the Migration Wizard has frozen. Any ideas of what might be causing the Migration Wizard to go blank?
    *Additional note:  I am also no longer able to check the Artifacts box for Relational Data in Shared Services for any of my applications, and am not able to open up the Tree to expand it.  The artifacts for Plan Type, Configuration, Global Artifacts etc. can still be selected.

  • Metadata from epma Planning application to classic Planning application?

    Hi!
    I am creating a new classic planning application, but I would like to use all the metadata from existing epma application.
    I'm wondering whether it is possible to get metadata from an  existing epma planning application to a classic application? Is this possible using LCM?
    Or do I just need to get an ads file from the epma planning application and then create a csv file that I would then  load into this new classic app using for example OutlineLoad utility.
    edit: version 11.1.2.2
    kind regards,
    user637777

    You should be able to export the metadata from the planning application using LCM, you could also see if the outlineload utility will let you export, can't remember if it allows it even if it is EPMA enabled.
    Cheers

  • BUG! Not system locale Filenames support for 32-bit applications error in Windows 8.1 x64 and other microssoft x64 OS-s.

    BUG! Not system locale Filenames support for 32-bit applications error in Windows 8.1 x64.        
    All Windows x64 (XP,2003,2007,Vista,7,8) have no support for not system locale filenames|foldernames for all 32-bit applications. I think it is BUG!
    For example,  it is possible to read files|folders with French or Chinese in English locale windows installed, rename it, but it is not possible open it, edit or delete. (ERRORS: File not found OR Unknown format)
    With using 64-bit programs no such problems. How does it works and how can I fix this? Is it problem with encoding in translating kernel instructions for 32-bit apps in x64 Windows OS's? Whether there are
    solutions to this problem OR some hacks|fixes? 

    Hi,
    Have you installed the language package for French or Chinese?
    If no, please download the language package and install them.

  • Classic planning application properties

    Hello,
    How to view created classic planning application properties as what options had selected when creating application from Classic Application Wizard, Select, Calendar, Currencies, Plan Types, etc.
    Regards.

    One of the ways:
    Take a LCM export of planning application and have a look at ApplicationDefinition.xpad file.
    Once backup is done, you can find it at: in 11.1.2.1:

  • How to know the Cluster name for Hyperion Planning Application

    Hi,
    We have 2 Hyperion planning clusters in our Planning environment. As per new requirement, we need to make the copy the existing planning application.
    We are not able to get the defined cluster information for existing planning application.
    Please help on how can we find the cluster name for a Hyperion Planning application.
    Quick help will be appreciated!!
    Thank You.

    Hi John,
    Thanks for your quick response!!
    We tried to run this command on Planning system command. but it did not return any record. We found that table "HSPSYS_APP_CLUSTER_DTL" does not have any record.
    is there any other way, where we can check the planning cluster name.
    Please help on this further.
    Thank You.

  • How can we delete a dimension from the classic planning applications

    Hi Friends,
    I am trying to delete a dimension from the planning classic application but i am unable to find out the delete option to delete a dimension. I created the dimension from the Administration -->dimensions --> Add dimension.
    If we want to delete a dimension how we can delete that dimension, I heard meta data is stored in the RDBMS so that why if we want delete dimension we need to delete in RDBMS so please tell me the location in RDBMS to delete dimension. i am using sql is RDBMS.
    Thanks in advance......

    As John mentioned, it is not supported and advisiable to delete a dimension from Planning application. but yes you can take a chance with some risk if you need to do so.. this opertaion is tested in 9.2 but i never tried in EPM V11.
    You will need to delete all the children first, then the dimension.
    BE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR APPLICATION BEFOREATTEMPTING THIS PROCEDURE.
    You will need to delete all the children first, then the dimension.
    If you have the dimension in forms, you may also need to (after step 5) go into the hsp_formobj_def_mbr table and delete all references of that object ID. Then delete the dim id in thehsp_form_layout table. Recycle services of Planning.
    Procedure: If you create a custom dimension in planning and wish to delete it, here is how you might remove it from SQL manually.
    it is recommended that only someone familiar with relational databases attempt this.The following assumptions are being made about the dimension: No forms have any references to thedimension. Any and all attribute dimensions have been removed from the dimension. Any and all members have been removed from the dimension. All security access has been removed from dimension. Any Alias associated with the dimension has been removed.
    1. Open the Enterprise Manager for SQL server
    2. Open the database that has your planning application
    3. Open the table HSP_OBJECT
    4. You need to find the row that has the dimension name you want to delete:
    5. Take note of the OBJECT_ID in my example it is50051, don't delete it yet.
    6. Open the table HSP_MEMBER
    7. Find and delete any rows that have a MEMBER_ID equal to the OBJECT_ID from step 5.
    8. Close the Table HSP_MEMBER
    9. Open the table HSP_MRU_MEMBERS.
    10. Find and delete any rows that have a DIM_ID equal to the OBJECT_ID from step 5.
    11. Close the table HSP_MRU_MEMBERS.
    12. Open the table HSP_DIMENSION
    13. Find and delete any rows that have a DIM_ID equal to the OBJECT_ID from step 5.
    14. Close the table HSP_DIMENSION
    15. Also delete it's reference from the HSP_UNIQUE_NAMES table.
    16. Delete the row in the HSP_OBJECT table that you found in step 4.
    17. Close the HSP_OBJECT table.
    18. Open Essbase Application Manager for the application and remove the dimension from the necessary Essbase outlines
    19. Restart the application server.
    good luck!!!

  • Business Rules error when creating new classic planning application in 9.3.

    Im trying to create a new planning application using classis planning application wizard in Workspace. everything seems alright untill i gets an error saying "Business rules cant connect to Planning"
    other than this Business rules working fine and i can open business rules in other applications and i can access business rules repository in EAS.
    Any thoughts on this ?

    Further invesitgation bears this problem out.
    Oracle support recommend wrapping the SimpleType in a ComplexType. This does work, but now I have an extra wrapper element to deal with. I either have to use the wrapped type in my other complex, composed Types and/or add an external wrapping element when trying to create Business Services in BPM to call the BusinessRules I've created.
    This is a bit messy.
    To be clear, this does not seem to be an issue with Business Rules; the BR editor and generation of Facts (including simple restricted types -> JAXB 2.0/Java Enumerations) seems to work correctly. There seems to be an issue exposing DFs as Services. The code which generated the WSDL and its supporting types seems to choke on restricted SimpleTypes.
    As a side note, it seems that HumanTasks have a similar limitation

  • Proxy support for third party applications

    Hi all.
    I have seen many posts by users saying that some applications cannot access the internet, while connected to a network with proxy authentication.
    Ultimately, the problem lies in iOS not supporting system-wide proxy settings. We are therefore stuck with applications where the developer has not included their own proxy authentication methods. This is really pathetic in my opinion, seeing as the iPad, although primarily focused on a media and leisure based market, is actually used by a lot of people in the enterprise world.
    There has not been any official announcement by Apple about this issue on other threads, or any announcement as to when support for this will be added. As a university student, I am forced to bring both my MacBook and iPad to campus, simply because I cannot access certain online services, such as DropBox, from my iPad. It actually makes me question what the point in getting the device was in the first place, as my primary intended usage is to eliminate the need for my MacBook to come with me to university.
    I would like Apple to please give any response on this, especially seeing as these devices are bought by many people with the intention of using it on many different networks on the move. Please, don't get me wrong - with the applications that work, and the usage I have with my iPad as is, I really enjoy the device, and it is great in many aspects, but simple functions such as internet access for applications under proxy authentication should be a given feature.
    With that all said, I have not had a chance to update to 4.3.1 yet, and I am not aware if it has been fixed yet or not - the change log says nothing about it though. Has anyone found a solution to this yet? Are some of you also experiencing it?
    MrP.
    EDIT: I notice that in the change log of 4.3.1, it says: "Resolves an issue authenticating with some enterprise web services". Can anyone confirm if this has fixed the issue?
    Message was edited by: Padie

    Yes same here, Ipad and Iphone 4S all iOS 5.1.1 behind a proxy....Safari works but pretty much none of my other Apps. proxy acceptance will be a critical blow in the war for the Enterprise market. I need access to Apps I now rely on and they simply do not work.
    With MS Surface only weeks away once people start using this with 100% success through a proxy, ( not to mention real Office that works with macros and all formatting..Oh and stylus friendly too!) a lot of apple devices may start to gather dust.
    Common Apple, lets move on from Toys and get serious about work too. I am guessing there are a lot of us out there trying to make ipads work at work...help us out!

  • FR reports not working for new planning application

    Situation:
    Hyperion 9.2.0
    New planning application created and also registered to share services. One existing group have role assigned as 'Interactive User' and not able to perform operations on workspace (FR), FR Studio and Smart view. (Note: Admin can perform such activities and there is no error.)
    Key user receiving mention below messages while accessing FR report from workspace and using FR studio for particular report related to only new application. The existing FR reports on different planning application working fine working fine from workspace and FR studio. Here are the errors:
    *Workspace Error [Only for new application report]*

    Analysis
    While looking Essbase, I identified that under security (User/Groups), group that have access as interactive user is not listed. Only I can see the groups that have admin roles. However I can see all other planning application successfully displayed groups associated to particular question.
    Please help to resolve the issue. I am new to this concept, so the detailed level description will help me lot

    Hi
    Thanks For the replies.
    After the data is copied into the layout. User is changing the values of few key figures and saving. A new line item is created in the cube with the new values.
    Ex
    Cust ....qty.....Value....Revenue
    c100....10........100.....1000
    Changing the value in layout
    Cust ....qty.....Value....Revenue
    c100....10........150.....1000
    After saving in the cube
    Cust ....qty.....Value....Revenue
    c100....10........100.....1000
    c100....0........50..........0
    When the user execute the report revenue is not populating correctly. And i was expecing 150 *10 = 1500. I understood the issue. Can anyone tell me how can i achieve without updating the quantity how can i get this?
    Thanks

  • Is ther any specific utility for creating planning application automaticall

    Hi,
    Do we some utility for creation of Hyperion planning application with min parameters that we used to create using app wizard?
    I mean if we have the utility then we can schedule a script and run the script for creation of application.
    Later we can develop this with metadata loading with any automation tools like HAL etc.........
    Please let me know if we have some thing like that?
    Regards
    Venkat G

    Urgh, it's killing me to write this, but wouldn't EPMA do what you want? Not automated exactly, but if I were in the business of quickly spinning of multiple Planning apps that maybe use some common hierarchies, that's a product I might look at.
    Having said that, in the real world I'd probably look at ODI, especially now that it can drive all dimensions.
    How many applications and how often do you think you're going to create them? Deletes? Why?
    You will put the lie to the "3 to 6 months to implement a Planning app" when you finally get it all working. 3 to 6 minutes? :)
