TimeBalance Property EPMA

hi,
I am trying to load account members via ads file & I am able to import all the members successfully except for the Time balance property for those accounts. When I have successfully uploaded the members I went into application library in EPMA & I don't see any time balance property on right hand side panel under planning as a drop down selection for those members. However if i add member manually I do have that option in property panel. Below is my ads file
!Section=Dimensions
'Name|DimensionClass|DimensionAlias
Account|Account|Account
!Hierarchies=Account
'Parent|Child|DataStorage|DataType|TimeBalance
#root|WFP-Accounts|StoreData|NonCurrency|Flow
WFP-Accounts|Assumption Input|StoreData|NonCurrency|Flow
Assumption Input|AL_SUI Rate Input|StoreData|Percentage|Flow
More over when I edit my profile & try to map the Timebalance property I don't even see that in the drop down of the application property to map to which I think is the fundamentally wrong.
Please advise
Thanks!

Hi,
I did try to put all the columns in the ads file. When I edit the profile & try to map my properties from flat file to the application properties available I only see the following options:
1) DataType
2) DataStorage
3) Plan1aggregation
4) Plan2aggregation
5) Plan3aggregation
6) WorkforceAggregation
7) CapexAggregation
8) Consolidation
9) HierarchyType
10) PrimaryLevelWeighting
11) BSOMemberDataStorage
12)ASOMemberDataStorage
Still I am missing a lot of properties including Time balance to map to . Not sure if we need to enable these properties from application side to have it show over there?

EPMA Common Timebalance for Essbase and Planning

Hi,
We are using EPMA for managing dimensions in Planning and Essbase. We have a shared ACCOUNT dimension, the account dimension is used to create an Essbase and Planning application.
We are facing issue with TIMEBALANCE property on the shared ACCOUNT dimension, when we set TIMEBALANCE for a member as NONE it works fine for Essbase application and throws out error when we deploy for PLANNING application, viceversa when TIMEBALANCE is set as FLOW it works for PLANNING and not for ESSBASE.
We don't want to maintain 2 separate ACCOUNT dimension in EPMA for ESSBASE and PLANNING just for this purpose. Is there a way to overcome the TIMEBALANCE property or a common value which will work as FLOW/NONE.
Thanks
Ramesh

I haven't faced your specific issue, however I faced something VERY similar. We were trying to set properties for both an ASO and BSO cube, using EPMA to manage the hierarchies. Setting the ASO property would change the BSO property and vice versa. My general impression was that the Essbase property settings weren't really sorted out in EPMA. This is one reason people don't use EPMA for Essbase (yet). It's okay for Planning, but not really ready for Essbase. Hopefully it will be better in 11.1.2.

EPMA 11.1.2.1 Property Differences from Earlier Releases

Hi All,
Just wondering if someone could shed some light on the below:
We are upgrading from 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.1 and have noticed that quite a few of our EPMA Planning properties have changed in 11.1.2.1.
This seems to be documented P379 of the EPMA 11.1.2.1 admin guide ( http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_admin.pdf ) under the "Property differences from earlier releases" section.
First of all I m really not sure why Oracle did this (?!?!?!?) but more importantly how can we possibly identify such members for which properties have changed?? We cannot possibly compare every single member property with the 9.3.1 apps? We have hundreds of entities, a reasonably large chart of accounts and over 10000 projects members. This just does not seem possible?
Thanks for your help.
Seb

Also beware that various properties seem buggy when it comes to automatically updating them from(an import profile connected to) either a Flat file or a data base source etc.
We encountered various issues with 11.1.2.1 attempting to do this. Remember that specific properties have only changed for specific dimension types, which could be a good thing, as it narrows your search, but could also be bad as you now have several types of change to make.
Short of trial and error, I think you're going to have to go down the "check everything" route.

How to change ExchangeRate Type Property in EPMA

Hi all,
I would like to change the ExchangeRate Type Property (from NONE to AVERAGE) in EPMA Accounts Dimension (local dimension) for a lev0 member, but the Property is read-only (and it is flagged as "DERIVED"). How can I change the Property or another question where the fuck is the Source for the inherited value????
Thanks in advance
André
P.S.: If I create a new lev0 Member the property is read-only, too.
Edited by: Andre on 11.03.2013 14:55

Ok, I could find it - if you change DataType to currency (was unspecified) than you can change the ExchangeRate Type.
Nevetheless many thanks to all :-)

Troubleshooting "Invalid property name" during EPMA Dimension import

I am trying to import a dimension via EPMA and receiving the error below. I have a couple of questions:
How can that property exist in the first place if it's invalid?
How can I find that property and where it's referenced?
Thanks in advance!
-Ben
Invalid property name: 'CustomTopMemberAsset Class'. Property names must start with a letter or underscore, and can contain only letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens.

Well, that gets to the root of my issue. I cannot find that property anywhere to change it, nor can I figure out how it got saved in the first place with a space in it.

EPMA-Loading metadata using Interface tabes-Member sort order-Property?

Hi,
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Version: 11.1.1.2
Loading metadata for planning app in EPMA using interface tables.
What property ( table , column) do I set to set the SORT ORDER for members within a dimension. I can arrange them manually by reordering children i nthe UI. The SYSTEM>sort order property does change manually after the metadata is loaded.
Thanks.
Edited by: user1658817 on Jun 26, 2009 9:06 AM

Some more info
I am loading members into Acount Dimension.
I am using following tables as source tables.
hs_account_hierarchy
hs_account_member
hs_account_property
hs_account_propertyArray
I use hs_account_propertyArray to load member Alias and member sort order.
Alias loads rightly. Sort order is not taken taken into account at all while loading. The sort order after the dimension is loaded is Alphabetical.
Sample records in my propertyArray table look like
Property Name Key Value
Order Common Stock Default 2
Order Warrants and Options Default 3
Order Additional Paid in Capital Default 4
Order Cumulative translation adj Default 5
Order Retained earnings (loss) Default 6
In the Load profile, I associate this Order property with Order property for shared library.
When the import is done, everything gets loaded properly, except for the SORT ORDER. The sort order is alphabetical. So the above members look like this
Additional Paid in Capital
Common Stock
Cumulative translation adj
Retained earnings (loss)
Warrants and Options
instead of being in the sort order mentioned above.
Thanks.

Call "Clear Property Overrides" (EPMA) automatically?

Hi,
Our company has several EPMA applications in Hyperion Planning 9.3.
We refresh the dimensions from interface tables (batch processing). It works fine for all dimensions except attribute dimensions.
The EPMA refreshes it in the dimension library, but in the application view I can see only the old one. I need to right-click on the dimension and select the "Clear Property Overrides" menu.
Because of the batch processing, I need to call it automatically after dimension load. Is there any way to do it? It's very annoying calling it after every dimension load.
I'm open of every possible solutions.
Thanks in advance.

Error Key word when interfacing EPMA interface table

Hi,
I'm trying to interface a SQL server database with EPMA interface tables. So basically, I'm doing SQL server to SQL server.
I already have several Interfaces that work fine, but I encounter an issue when interfacing a ...PropertyArray table in EPMA IT.
This table has a column called "Key" and I wonder if that's not the problem, key must be a special word.
Here is the error message:

Hi Phani,
I don't see what you mean, sorry I'm a beginner with ODI.
I might have found a workaround though, I can update UDAs, aaliases and attribute in the Hierarchy table, I have no use of the property array table.
Thanks for your help.

ASO can't deploy from EPMA after upgrade to 11.1.2.2

We are in the middle of the upgrade from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2, we have HFM and Essbase that deploy from EPMA. The following error is occuring on our ASO cubes:
Error : The value for property 'DataStorage' in member 'M_100000', dimension 'M_ACCOUNT' is invalid. The following are valid values for this property: LabelOnly, NeverShare, ShareData, StoreData.
This dimension is tagged as an Accounts dimension and consolidates with + and -. The option to change the data storage type on the parent members does not provide an options in the dropdown to change this type.
Any one else come across this before?

There seems to be a bug that [sometimes] won't turn on the backlight after suspending, doing anything that raises the brightness: unplugging & replugging power cable - depending on settings, using brightness keys - if set up, or setting it directly in /sys/class/backlight/ via a script/ssh/whatever should all work.
I posted a link to this problem because OP wasn't specific.
This is not related to the Broadcom 4313's wireless authentication issues, hence the word "also". Sorry for the confusion.

Error while loading members using ads file in EPMA planning app in 11.1.2.2

Hi,
I am trying to update the dimension using ads file in EPMA application(11.1.2.2).
1. I am getting following error:
"The member 'xxx' cannot be created or inserted into the shared dimension 'yyy' within the application 'abc' during application import as this is not allowed by the system. Property updates for this member will not be processed."
2. Also, I am trying to create shared dimension using ads file. I am replacing Isprimary property to 'N' and Datastore property to 'ShareData' in the ads file. There is no error while doing it and the status is 100% complete but I could not see any changes in the hierarchy.
Any help would be great in this.

EPMA 11.1.2.1 (Interface Tables) Working with Shared Upper Level Members

Hi Everyone,
I am building a hierarchy with interface tables in which I specify a shared member. In the interface table, I assign a null datastorage and a 0 for the ISPrimary to designate the shared member. The stored member has a datastorage of storedata and an ISPrimary of 1. The sort order for the shared member is set at 999999 and the sort order for the stored member is 6.
We have an org hierarchy that goes Division->Business Group->Department. Please reference the member that is highlighted for the two questions I have below.
I just made up some hierarchy names and placed in parenthesis what the member name would look like in our real hierarchy.
Example Hierarchy:
Organization
|--Main_Hierarchy
|--|--Division1 (DV_XYZ)
|--|--|--BusinessGroup1 (BG_ABCD)
|--|--|--|--Department1 (DP_1234)
|-Alternate Rollup
*|--|--Division2 (DV_ABC) [stored]*
|--|--|--BG_123
|--|--|--|--DP_9999
|--|--|--|--DP_9876
|--|--Research Division (DV_ZZZ)
*|--|--|--Division2(DV_ABC) [shared]*
I have 2 issues with this setup.
1) When I run an import into the shared library, I see the shared member with children underneath it (the same children that are under the stored member) Is this supposed to look like that, or is there an additional configuration that I need to make? When I look in the application library, I see it correctly with the shared members having no children, but the shared library shows the shared members with children.
2) When I run a deploy to the application, the application library shows the hierarchy correctly, but Planning and the Essbase Outline reversed the members (The stored member comes in as shared and the shared member comes in as stored in essbase and planning, but the application library shows it the correct way). Just wondering if someone could suggest a starting point for me to try and troubleshoot this issue.

Is this an essbase only application? It seems like the property is defaulting to stored and then flipping the initial stored member to shared because Essbase isn't interpreting the deployment correctly. I would try using ShareData as the datastorage property (I think that is the correct spelling). Also, I believe the correct way to set IsPrimary is Y/N and not 0/1.
If that did not work I would try the following in this order:
1 - I would first extract the dimension in question using the file generator and confirm that the properties are indeed correct.
2 - If they were correct. I would toggle the dimension from shared->local->shared. EPMA is still a little nutty and this will fix a fair amount of issues as it will 'refresh' the application's version of the dimension. I would then deploy
3 - deploy from EPMA->Planning only (no essbase creation), then deploy to essbase separately after ensuring the property represents itself in planning. If it is essbase only - create the outlnie instead of refresh.
4 - create a duplicate app in EPMA and deploy the copy of the app - and see if it has the same problem
Try that and see how it goes.

Looks like you are using SQL Server, if you look in windows event viewer I believe there should be a detailed error message. There are some special properties that it mentions that you must set on your SQL Server instance for it to start property.
If you see messages indicating this is the error, you might run these commands on your sql environmnent:
ALTER DATABASE HYPEPMA
SET ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON
ALTER DATABASE HYPEPMA
SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON

EPMA 11.1.2 Essbase Hangs at status waiting for Update

I know that in 11.1.1.3 there were issues deploying an essbase cube from EPMA, 11.1.2 however claims to be able to do this, but I am having a problem getting the cube deployed.
I am on 64-Bit Windows 2008, all hyperion products are version 11.1.2 with SQL backend.
I can validate a simple cube just fine from EPMA.
I can create cubes in EAS.
I however cannot deploy a simple cube from EPMA. I have checked all conditions on permissions and followed the guidelines.
The essbase application is registering to Shared Services (thus I can make sure the permissions are Provisioned).
The system gets stuck at "Waiting for Status Update..." it will remain at that level (50%) without ever updating. I have changed the awproperties file to time out after 45 minutes. I am not seeing any errors recorded in any of the logs to indicate what problem is going on.
I need some suggestions as to where to look to force some form of error logs that will give me some clue to the next errors I need to deal with. Or some advice from anyone that has experienced this issue. This is an essbase cube not a planning application. I have EPMA HFM Applications, as well as FCM, FDM deployed on the same foundation without issue.
The only issue I can find close to this is a Planning deploy with problems about JVM size but nothing about Essbase application JVMs.
Any ideas?

Is this an essbase only application? It seems like the property is defaulting to stored and then flipping the initial stored member to shared because Essbase isn't interpreting the deployment correctly. I would try using ShareData as the datastorage property (I think that is the correct spelling). Also, I believe the correct way to set IsPrimary is Y/N and not 0/1.
If that did not work I would try the following in this order:
1 - I would first extract the dimension in question using the file generator and confirm that the properties are indeed correct.
2 - If they were correct. I would toggle the dimension from shared->local->shared. EPMA is still a little nutty and this will fix a fair amount of issues as it will 'refresh' the application's version of the dimension. I would then deploy

Metadata load into EPMA

Hello All,
I am trying t load metadata via Interface tables in my EPMA application. I loaded all the metadata correctly & my application got delpoyed with any error. Hoewever I am having some issue with loading member fromula in my version
dimension. So here is what i did. I have populated the following tables:
1. HS_Version Hierrachy where I define the parent child relationsip & other mandatory property for that member
2. HS_Version_Member where in I defined the formula assocuiated with that member
I then linked these table with my system tables IM_Dimension & run the profile.
When i go to the dimension library in workspace I see that member but somehow it dosent bring the formula over from interface tables.
I did added the formula manually in dimension library & deployed the application & everything woked pretty good.
Is there something i am missing in the process of bringing this formula from interface tabe I am on EPMA 11.1.2.
Has anyone ever loaded formula's via interface table & run into this situation?or may be is there a documnet anywhere which talks about the existing bugs while loading metadata through interface tables?
Please advise
Thanks!

Any thoughts on this guys? I'd like to open the question up a bit.
How is DRM metadata used to source Hyperion applications? I see there is an XML output of metadata. There is some talk about generating an .ads file. What are the other ways? SQL database views?
I'm using a classic Planning application. Appreciate any thoughts.

All but EPMA 11.1.1.3 working

Through some kind of miracle, I actually managed to install 11.1.1.3 on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server VM and got everything (EAS, Annotation Server, Apache, Calc Manager, Essbase, FDM, HFM, Financial Reporting, OpenLDAP, Shared Services, EIS, Profitability, HPS, RMI Registry, WA, Workspace Agent, and Workspace Web Application) installed and actually working.
I will not embarass myself publicly with the number of times I had to install to get to this stage or how long it took. It was ugly, but luckily VMWare Workstation has a really nice snapshot function. If I ever needed confirmation that I am not an installer, this experience cemented that notion.
Okay, the whine is over, here is the question -- I cannot get EPMA to run. What am I doing wrong?
EPMA Architect - Web Application works (the service runs, that is), as does EPMA Data Syncronization - Web Application, but the .Net JNI Bridge service will not start, nor will Engine Manager, Event Manager, Job Manager, or Process Manager.
I think Process Manager is the key to all of this. When I try to start it, there is no error in epma.log or in epma_err.log.
However, when I go into Windows Event Viewer, and see the failure to start of Process Manager, I see the following:
Service cannot be started. Hyperion.DimensionServer.ProcessManager.Interface.ProcessManagerException: Cannot initialize the Session Manager. ---> Hyperion.DataAccessLayerCore.DataAccessLayerException: Database connectivity could not be established. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.

   at Hyperion.Data...I see the SQL error, but wonder why no other piece of the EPM install has an issue with SQL Server. This install uses SQL Server Express 2005. I read the steps on this MSDN page -- I already had all of these settings and am not running a firewall.
Any help would be most appreciated -- I am so close on this, I can almost taste it.

Hi Cameron,
I have a vm using SQL server express 2005, it is running without any issues though I can replicate the error if I change connection details for the JBDC configuration, I updated the port in the config from 1433 to 14331
Started up process manager, failed..
Service cannot be started. Hyperion.DimensionServer.ProcessManager.Interface.ProcessManagerException: Cannot initialize the Session Manager. ---> Hyperion.DataAccessLayerCore.DataAccessLayerException: Database connectivity could not be established. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.)

If you go into \Hyperion\common\config\9.5.0.0 and double click epmsys_registry.bat, it should generate a web page.
In there should be your (DATABASE_CONN) for EPMA
e.g.
Property Name Property Value
version 9.5.0.0
dbUserName epmadmin
dbPort 14331
dbName EPMA
dbPassword s1GPi7aeT5zUdQIpxfsiJQ
dbJdbcUrl jdbc:hyperion:sqlserver://epmversion11:14331;DatabaseName
Does your connection details look all correct.
I take it you are using the default instance with SQL server express e.g. <SERVERNAME>\SQLEXPRESS
You can that when you log into SQL Server Management Studio express.
New years eve and Cameron has turned to the darkside known as EPMA.... definitely more to life :)
Cheers
