Upgrade Hyperion Enterprise 6.2 to 6.5

Hi,
We want to upgrade Hyperion Enterprise from version 6.2.1 to version 6.5.1 so I wanted to know if there is any document document and if there are do's and don'ts for the same. Will there be any functionality that will not be working in this case ???
Thanks,

Hi,

Upgrade to Hyperion Enterprise 6.5.1.1.102 - Performance Issues

We are testing an upgrade to Hyperion Enterprise 6.5.1.1. We have applied the Update 2 patch which I believe officially takes the version to 6.5.1.1.102. In testing reports and consolidation between the new version and the old 6.4.1 version of Enterprise, we are seeing a delay in how long it take reports to generate and for Consolidation to complete. With reports, we see the delay specifically when running large reports that pull a lot of data.
Currently, our 6.4.1 Hyperion application is installed on a Win2003 server and our users access Hyperion via Citrix. The 6.5.1.1.102 version is installed on a Win2008 server and is being accessed through Citrix.
To isolate this issue, we loaded Hyperion locally on a server and the timed some reports. The 6.5 reports take just as long to run as on our current v6.4 platform. So, it appears there is a performance issue running 6.5 enterprise through Citrix. Has any one else experienced this type problem or have any suggestions. We have been referred to numerous performance tuning notes from Hyperion support but nothing seems help.
Thanks.

Hyperion Enterprise 6.4 Financial Reporting upgrade path

We are currently using Hyperion Enterprise 6.4 Financial Reporting and would like to know what the upgrade path is to the most recent version.
What is the most recent version and can our current version be upgraded directly to it, or will the latest version need to be installed on the same server or a different server?
Let me know.
Thanks.

The latest version for Financial Reporting available is EPM 11.1.2.2.
You may need to migrate first to 9.3.3 or 11.1.3.3 and then move to 11.1.2.2 which is the upgrade path.
You could refer the documentation for 11.1.2.2 in the following link : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/nav/portal_1.htm
For 9.3.x : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10530_01/welcome.html
For 11.1.1.x : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12825_01/index.htm

Hi Rakesh,
1.) Please confirm you followed the steps below during your HEWEB initialization process? (The first time you enable HEWEB - the applications added need a long time to cache depending on their complexity.)
*How to Prevent Hyperion Entperise Web Components from Timing out and Dropping from Memory on HEWEB Server [ID 1134663.1]*
Modified 03-AUG-2010 Type HOWTO Status PUBLISHED
Applies to:
Hyperion Enterprise - Version: 6.5.0.0.00 and later [Release: 6.5 and later ]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Goal:
What steps are required to prevent an application loaded into HEWEB from timing out and dropping from memory thus requiring users to wait for the application to re-load whilst the connect?
Solution:
In order to use Hyperion Enterprise Web (HEWEB) and Hyperion Smartview for Enterprise (HSE) the application you wish to connect to needs to be Enabled for HEWEB on the designated HEWEB server.
To enable an Application for HEWEB the designated HEWEB Server needs to have Microsoft Internet Information Server (MIIS) and ASP.NET installed.
If the HWEB component has never been installed, the Enterprise Installer needs to be run selecting the HEWEB option on the Install component list. Once selected and run the install. This will install the required version of HEWEB and ASP.NET.
If the HEWEB server has been installed, in order to Web Enable the application(s) required follow the steps below:
1.Login to Enterprise as a user with Admin Rights.
2. Enter the Application Module from the Enterprise Desktop.
3. Choose the Navigate menu followed by Server Administration.
4. In the Web Server pane select the Enabled check box.
Set the Web Server URL to read http://YOUR SERVERNAME.
Set the Session Manager, task Server and Web Application Controller to be just the server name.
Set the upload location to be a suitable folder on the server in which to store dataload files.
5. If using Hyperion Enterprise Reporting Web (HERW) as well as HEWEB:
Set the Server name for your HERW server in the Hyperion Enterprise Reporting Web Server.
6. Leave the number of connections set to 12.
7. Once these parameters are all set. Hit Apply.
Depending on your application size and complexity of your metadata, after a delay, three processes will start up and consume memory and CPU. These are HeAppController.EXE, HeDataController.EXE and HeAppMgr.EXE. The time taken is a function of application metadata complexity and NOT the amount of data within the application.
Once the HeAppController.EXE has settles to 0% CPU utilization and the process memory usage has stopped increasing the application has loaded into HEWEB and should be visible in the list of applications when you hit the link http://YOURSERVERNAME/HeWeb/default.asp from a browser.
If the application takes a very long time to load, the amount of time can be reduced with no adverse affect by editing the Applicationname.ini located in the application folder to include the line ENABLECACHEFORSMARTVIEW=”0” towards the end of the file.
After some time these 3 processes, HeAppController.EXE, HeDataController.EXE and HeAppMgr.EXE will drop from memory and if the line WEBAUTOSTART=1 is set in your server Hypent.ini file, these processes will re-load when a user hits the HEWEB server via a browser or makes a Smartview Connection attempt.
Note if the load process for your application takes a long time, the first users to hit the server will have to wait while the processes re-load.
This can cause user confusion and lead users to think the server is down!
To prevent these processes dropping from memory perform the following steps on your HEWEB server:
1. From the Start Run command run INETMGR to bring up Microsoft Internet Information Manager Console.
2. Identify the Default Application Pool in the left hand pane by drilling down into Application Pools.
3. Right Click on the Default Application Pool and select properties.
4. Find the re-cycling TAG and edit the value in Recycle work processes in minutes to a long period i.e. 28800 (20 days).
5. Find the Performance Tag.
6. DESELECT, Shutdown worker processes after being idle for (time in minutes).
7. Exit from the Web pools setting and close down INETMGR.
8. From the start button re-set IIS services by issuing the command IISRESET from the run box.
9. IIS will now re-start and then once initially called the process for HEWEB should not remain in memory for the duration of the period specified.
Note: Be wary of taking back-ups while the webserver connection are held open. It is advised that the internal Enterprise back-ups are used which will not be affected by the HEWEB process remaining active.
2.) In your previous post you mentioned that you followed all of the installation steps required for installing HE 6.5.1. Could you please confirm that this was a new installation? Or was this an upgrade from an older version?
Let me know how you get on.
G'Luck,
-David

Decimal Places in Hyperion Enterprise

Since upgrading to Hyperion Enterprise 6.5.1, we have lost the ability to see any values beyond the decimal point. I can go to View and select decimal places, but it used to appear in the bottom right corner of the Data Entry screen as Value: 7195.1548869 now all I get is Value:7195
Does anyone know how to get that Value to show all the decimal places?

Hello,
During operation, you must neither delete currencies used nor change their definition of decimal places. Amounts in posted documents could become invalid or incorrect as a result.
You cannot subsequently use R/3 standard functions to make a consistent change to the number of decimal places of a currency in the R/3 system that is already operatively used because the system interprets all amount values on the database according to the number of decimal places of the reference currency that is stored in the system.

Help on Migration from Hyperion Enterprise 6.5.0 to HFM 11.1

Hello All,
We are planning to upgrade our system from Hyperion Enterprise 6.5.0 to HFM 11.1 and would be very grateful if you can help us in answering the below questions as I am novice in Hyperion.
Current Environment:
We have one Hyperion Enterprise 6.5.0 server and Hyperion 6.5 client is installed on two Citrix servers. We use Citrix servers to publish Hyperion client which users can use to access the Hyperion application. I have been planning the Citrix upgrade for Citrix servers and due Hyperion 6.5 incompatibility with Win2008 R2, we are also planning to do Hyperion upgrade to either 6.5.1 or to HFM.
Having no knowledge on HFM, I found out that HFM is web-based application and users can access HFM application through browser unlike Hyperion 6.5 which is accessed by Hyperion client.
I have following question if you can help me, please:
1. Do we need any client to access HFM or all the feature are web based?
2. If it is web-based, do we need any web-server or IIS can be used to provide access to HFM application to users?
3. How many servers (application, web-server, database server etc) would be suffice for 270 users, any estimate?
My questions might be very dumb for this forum but, I would really appreciate and thank any kind of help provided.
Thanks,
Rajneesh

You should not proceed without expertise in HFM. The installation and configuration requires a much greater technical knowledge and support than Hyperion Enterprise does. Also, you should not perform a straight migration of Hyperion Enterprise to HFM since you have to consider the differences in dimensionality. I recommend you engage someone who has already done such a migration and has good experience with HFM.

Hyperion Enterprise Reporting

My Hyperion Salesperson tells me Hyperion Enterprise Reporting in no longer supported for Essbase, but that conflicts with reports I am getting from Hyperion Support that they are releasing upgrades to go with Essbase 6.2 and 6.5. Does anyone know what the story is on this? I know they are pushing Hyperion Reports, but I'm not sure if they have sold a lot of licenses for this. We don't have the time right now to upgrade all of our Hyperion Enterprise Reporting reports anyway. Crystal Reports seems to be the front-end tool referenced in Hyperion classes. Is anyone using this front-end and how do you like it?

We are using HER 3.7 with Essbase 6.2.1 with no issues

Hi, we have the same issue. Apparently it is a known error with version 6.5.1 that Oracle does not see as urgent, and will be fixed in a future patch.
My company is waiting for this patch before we upgrade from 6.4.

Hyperion Enterprise Web Server - Error 406

Hi,
The problem occurs when trying to activate the Hyperion Enterprise webserver from the Server Administration. The error message displays "HTTP 406 error".
We have tried many things including a full reinstall but have not managed to find a solution or pin point what's causing the problem.
Has anybody experienced this issue before or have any suggestions as to why this is happening.
Thanks

Does anyone have a solution to this error? We are seeing the same.
The Web service is running fine and we can try to enable the application from either Server Administration application or selecting application setup from the web login screen.
The Server Admin application returns the error HTTP 406 : The resource cannot be displayed. When trying to enable the application for web access.
The Web server application setup shows no applications within the application dropdown selection control.
Tried using alternative applications, all of which appear to working perfectly OK other than not being web enabled.

Upgrading Hyperion applications from EPM System 11.1.2.1 and 11.1.2.2. to 11.1.2.3

Hi,
I am triyng to upgrade Hyperion classic applications from 11.1.2.1 and 11.1.2.2 to 11.1.2.3. I restored application's databases which has SQL database and upgraded applications successfully. But the other applications that have Oracle databases, I can restore and upgrade the applications, but when I try to refresh database, it gives errors like that:
com.hyperion.planning.olap.HspVerifyOutlineException: Verify Outline failed with the following errors:
Error [100000800] detected in member "2012 Bakım": Shared member with no actual member
And it is only giving these errors for members which have Turkish characters. And it gives like as this error for member formulas which have Turkish characters:
Error compiling formula for [] (line 1): unknown member name ["Sözleşme Türü Belirle"] in function [operator @X]
This application is working in 11.1.2.1, but after I migrated it ot 11.1.2.3, it started to give these problems. I controlled my oracle database parameters and they look OK, I am sending them too:
NLS_LANGUAGE                   AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY                  AMERICA
NLS_CHARACTERSET               AL32UTF8
NLS_SORT                       BINARY
How can I solve this problem ?
Thanks
Mehmet

Hi Santy,
Thanks for your suggestion. We updated Turkish characters in DB then it's solved. When we create a shared member which has Turkish characters from zero, it gives no error while the refresh. And if we delete all shared members and create them again, it gives no error again. I think the problem is about upgrading.
Regards,
Mehmet
