Upgrade Steps - sql server 2005 and Essbase 9.2.0

Currently we have Essbase, EIS in AIX and Web Analysis in Windows 9.2.0 on SQL Server 2000 in Windows server as repository. We are planning to upgrade Essbase, EIS and Web Analysis to 11.1.1. At this point we wanted to upgrade our environment step by step. We are not buying new servers. First move the sql repository to 2005 and then upgrade to 11.1.1. Our data resides in another SQL server 2000 server and we use sql load rules to load the data to essbase. Is it possible to update the SQL repository to 2005 while having the data in 2000, so we continue the production environment? What are the steps required for that?
Any input appreciated.
Thanks,
Daphne.

Since most of what happens is through ODBC (especially for loading data) I think you would just have to have the proper drivers in place to talk the the SQL server instances.

You should really consider doing the load using a data load rule. If that isn't the problem, it may be that you are having a real performance problem. If you are moving enough data to require a half hour load, it should be probably be loaded from a text file, or even a spreadsheet, using a data load rule. Text file loads are a bit better than excel, especially when there are formatting issues. <BR><BR>Lock and sends are fine for changing parameters and doing adjustments, but heavy duty data loads really work a lot better with load rules.

    There are more detailed logs for the various components. The one of interesting is the one for the engine or possibly the one for full-text.
    These logs are extremely verbose, and the errors are rarely crystal clear, but at least give them a try. If you have problems, find a place to upload them (Dropbox, Skrydrive etc), so that we can look.
    The closest at hand is that "group" that cannot be found is an AD group.

  • Loading Dimension members from SQL Server 2005 to Essbase Outline.

    Hi Everybody,
    I need to load dimension members from SQL server 2005 to Essbase outline:
    Option 1:
    I can retrive members from SQL to text file and then using Rule files load dimension members into outline.
    option 2:
    Using SQL Interface in System 9.
    Option 3:
    I can use ETL tools (ODI, Informatica etc)
    I used Option 3 frequently and familier with, But i would like to use option 1 & option 2. If anybody has used option 1/2 kindly advice with correct steps
    I would be very greatful for any help.
    Version: 9.3.1
    Regards
    Kumar N

    Hi Kumar,
    For Option 2:
    You have to create one DSN for the particular database(SQL Server) from where you want to retrieve the data.
    Then Open Data Prep Editor and From File Menu Click on Open SQL and it will ask for the DSN connection details.
    Enter the DSN details and write the query....
    Thanks,

  • Upgrade to SQL server 2005 - Point Production Environment to New Server?

    We have Essbase, Workspace, EAS, EIS, FR, WA environment in Production, supporting SQL server databases are on ServerA which has all these databases in SQL server 2000. The corporate standard is moving to SQL server 2005, and the SQL server DBA has copied the supporting dbs to ServerB for testing.
    Is "pointing" to ServerB an option, or do the BI+ components have to be redeployed? Any help or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated.

    Stephanie,
    There could be schema changes between 2000 and 2005 you may want to check the support matrix to ensure your version of Hyperion is supported with SQL 2005.
    Best bet is to back up the business rules, fr reports and then configure the system to the new databases on the SQL 2005 box then reimport the items.

  • Upgrade from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server Express 2014 Enterprise

    I was just wondering if it is possible to upgrade from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server Express or will I have to build the environment and then migrate the database?
    Thanks for any help

    Hi Lance_Romance,
    As others’ posts, you don’t have to build new environment and then migrate databases between SQL Server instances, you can use the in-place upgrade strategy to upgrade from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2014 .Please note that SQL Server 2005 SP4 is required
    in this case.
    Before upgrading , I recommend you to use
    upgrade advisor, it can help to analyze your existing SQL Server deployment and inform you of issues that need to be addressed.  In addition, please perform a full server backup prior to performing the in-place upgrade, which will be an important way
    to revert your SQL Server to its previous state if the upgrade does not go as planned. For more details, please review this blog:

  • How to integrate from MS SQL SERVER 2005 and Flatfile to Oracle 10g.

    Hi
    I am new to ODI. I am trying to load sample data from MS SQL Server 2005 and Flatfile to Oracle 10g.
    1. I have created three models.
    1-1. SQL2005 (SRC_CUSTOMER table)
    1-2. Flatfile (SRC_AGE_GROUP.txt & SRC_SALES_PERSON.txt)
    1-3. Oracle 10g (TRG_CUSTOMER table)
    You may know I got those environments from the ODI DEMO environment.
    2. I could able to reverse the tables also.
    3. I have created an interface which contains source table (from MSSQL 2005), Flatfile and target table from ORACLE model.
    4. I have imported the knowledge modules. But I am confusing in selecting the knowledge modules to source and target tables.
    I've selected LKM File to SQL for flatfile model.
    I've also selected LKM SQL to SQL for MSSQL 2005 model and IKM Oracle Incremental Update for the target table (ORACLE).
    I've also implemented the interface that I created. It worked without errors. But there is no data in target table which is TRG_CUSTOMER.
    I really would like to know what happened and what the problems are.
    You can email me [email protected]
    Thanks in advance
    Jason Lee

    what did give for SRC_AGE_GROUP SRC_CUSTOMER join condition
    if it is
    (SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE=SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MIN) AND SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE=SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MAX
    give it as
    (SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE>SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MIN) AND SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE<SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MAX

  • SQL Server 2005 and ColdFusion 7

    Hi all,
    I am using SQL Server 2005 and ColdFusion 7 (standalone) on
    XP 64 Bit. I was using the exact setup a couple of weeks ago, but
    had to reinstall my O/S due to hardware problems so am back to the
    beginning. I remember having a nightmare setting datasources up in
    the past, but did manage to find a solution.
    I have tried the following:
    SQL has TCP/IP Enabled
    SQL is set to Mixed Authentication
    SQL has a login set to the same as my Windows Username and
    password
    My database has a user (dbo) by the same name as the login
    set in SQL
    When I add a datasource in the administrator I enter the
    windows username and password (I have tried without either as
    well), the server name as localhost and the port as the default
    1433.
    I always get the following error:
    Connection verification failed for data source: DATABASENAME
    java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC
    Driver]Error establishing socket. Connection refused: connect
    The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
    [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket.
    Connection refused: connect
    Can someone offer any advice? This is driving me proper nuts.
    TIA,
    Paul

  • How to deploy MS Sql Server 2005 and 2008 jdbc driver

    Hi SAP Guru's
    Can somebody tell me how to deploy the jdbc driver of MS SQL Server 2005 and 2008 on SDM.
    According to the SAP instruction we should have 3 files(mssqlserver.jar,msbase.jar,msutil.jar) but in 2005 driver file we only have 1 file i.e sqljdbc.jar so how do i deploy it .
    Secondly i cannot deploy it on visual administrator as well and when i am doing the File to jdbc scenarion i am getting this error
    " Accessing database connection "jdbc.sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=Employee failed DriverManagerException. Cannot establish connection to URL jdbc.sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=Employee  SAPClassNotFoundException com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver".
    can somebody please upload the screen shots on mediafire or any other site so that i will solve my problem.

    Hello,
    *OS: First of all: *
    3 files (msbase.jar,mssqlserver.jar and msutility.jar )should be zipped to aii_af_jmsproviderlib.zip file only for UNIX OS.
    For Windows OS only sqljdbc.jar file which in every version of JDBC driver should be zipped to aii_af_jmsproviderlib.zip.
    You can deploy JDBC driver through SDM tool which mention in guide below:

  • Upgrade to SQL Server 2005 media

    I am trying to find out if SAP provides a DVD with the SQL Server 2005 software for upgrade/installation as it did for 2000.  I have found references in notes to using the DVD provided by SAP and a SQL4SAP vb script to run to do the install.  And in other docs I see references to using the setup.exe provided on the media disk (I'm assuming here it is the MS media for SQL Server).
    Is there a SAP disk for upgrading SQL Server?  If so where can I find it.
    If I can't locate this are there any issues to be aware of if I use the MS provided install disks for SQL Server 2005 to perform an upgrade?
    Thanks
    Laurie

    Hi Laurie,
    DVD 51032641 is the SQL 2005 installation DVD for SAP.
    You cannot download it from service.sap.com, you have to order SAP standard software (SAP NetWeaver, SAP ERP, etc).
    Best regards,

  • Upgrading from SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition [ENU] to SQL Server 2008 Express Edition OR HIGHER for Microsoft Security Compliance Manager

    I have downloaded the MS Security Compliance Manager, which is in two parts:  MS SQL Server 2008 Express Edition & the SCM. The install instructions state the the server needs to be install before the SCM.  So as the install continues I get
    an error message, which cancels the installation.  So, I am trying to install SQL 2008 EE separate from SCM.  My question is: 
    Can I upgrade from my current SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition [ENU]
    directly to SQL Server 2008 Express Edition (or higher)?

    So as the install continues I get an error message, which cancels the installation. 
    And which error message did you got?
    SQL Server Compact Edition is something different then SQL Server Express (or Standard) Edition, you can't upgrade it as you asked for,.

    1)apache tomcat runs on port :8080 and in this code i use port :1433.Does this not have any bearing?
    when i change 1433 to 8080..it gives TDS prelogin response is incomplete.target server must be sql server 2000 or later.
    2)i use user=Administrator but when i go to Sql server management studio->object explorer->right-click->view connection properties..it gives user name as NEW-D348F33DAD2\Administrator...but if I use this it gives an error pointing to the forward slash(\).So what should be used?
    P.S. i have installed the jdbc driver and the database "webpage" has been created!

    Exception:com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The TCP/IP connection to the host has failed.java.net.ConnectException:connection refused.connect.Bad connection URL. Can you write a simple class that connects without Tomcat, one that you can run on the command line?
    Some of my questions...
    1)apache tomcat runs on port :8080 and in this code i use port :1433.Does this not have any bearing?No.
    when i change 1433 to 8080..it gives TDS prelogin response is incomplete.target server must be sql server 2000 or later.No - Tomcat listens on 8080, SQL Server listens on 1433. You need both.
    2)i use user=Administrator but when i go to Sql server management studio->object explorer->right-click->view connection properties..it gives user name as NEW-D348F33DAD2\Administrator...but if I use this it gives an error pointing to the forward slash(\).So what should be used?Look at the driver docs to see how to add a password.
    P.S. i have installed the jdbc driver and the database "webpage" has been created!What does "installed" mean? The JARs should be in Tomcat's common/lib directory.

  • SQL server 2005 and MDM components

    Question:
    1) Could we make a repository with relevant tables in SQL server2005, and then import to MDM Console?
    2) Could we see the tables of one repository in SQL server 2005.e.g. In MDM console, one repository created with the name Test001, Test 001 has the main table and subtable as well as special table and Admin table. Now I want to see the same structure and same table name in SQL server 2005, can SQL server 2005 provide this possible? If it is possible, which component of SQL should we use?
    Thanks!

    Hi Alfred ,
    1) MDM Basically created tables in database according to its needs . I am not sure if SAP provided the way around
    2) Nope , Its not same structure in database . I only know <b>CM_History</b> is used to track the history . You can use MDM API's to access database .
    Hope this helps a little ,

  • MS SQL Server 2005 and JDBC

    Hi friends
    I am new in Java and for the first time I want to write a program to connect to my database on MS SQL Server 2005 to retreive data. I read the tutorial, but I couldn't find there any information about the proper driver name to connect to a SQL Server database ;(
    Could you please let me know what I should write as DriverManager.getConnection(????) to make the connection?
    Thank you in advance.

    I really thank you for your patience and accompanying me. At last I found what the problem was! It was about MS SQL Server 2005 TCP/IP connection!!!! It's disable by default, so it didn't let my java program to login. I enabled it and restart all the SQL services again. But when I executed the program another error appeared: This driver doesn't let you to have integrated secuirty .So I had to bring the 'sa' user id and its password to login to MS SQL Server. And this time it worked!! You are right, I had to cheange the connection URL to bring the port in it.
    I am writing a system for a small company in java, and I installed the MS SQL Server 2005 myself and I should manage all the problems myself! So I didn't have anyone to help me but you dear friends.
    I really appreciate all your valuable advice.
    Now the final code is:
    import java.sql.*;
    public class DBtest {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              // Create a variable for the connection string.
              //String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=Northwind;integratedSecurity=true;";
              String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;databaseName=Northwind;integratedSecurity=true;";
              // Declare the JDBC objects.
              Connection con = null;
              Statement stmt = null;
              ResultSet rs = null;
                 try {
                      // Establish the connection.
                          Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
                          con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);
                          // Create and execute an SQL statement that returns some data.
                          String SQL = "SELECT city,country FROM customers";
                          stmt = con.createStatement();
                          rs = stmt.executeQuery(SQL);
                          // Iterate through the data in the result set and display it.
                          while (rs.next()) {
                               System.out.println(rs.getString(0) + " " + rs.getString(1));
              // Handle any errors that may have occurred.
              catch (Exception e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
              finally {
                   if (rs != null) try { rs.close(); } catch(Exception e) {}
                       if (stmt != null) try { stmt.close(); } catch(Exception e) {}
                       if (con != null) try { con.close(); } catch(Exception e) {}
    }
