Upgrade to Essbase 6.5.x

We're currently running 6.1.2 and want to upgrade to 6.5.x. Is there a recommended version? Are there any significant issues to be aware of?

We are using version 6.5.4 and found some bugs, like:- Getting data from nowhere while using parallel calculation (like fixing in a currency and getting results in other currency)- Getting #mi in a report with attributes and two-pass calc members- Not getting any value using a -> operator and a dynamic calc memberI was told that all this bugs are addressed in version 6.5.5, but I have not been able to test it.Anyway, I suggest you to check the bugs in the 6.5.4 and 6.5.5 readme files, to decide which version is more convenient to you

Upgrade the Essbase Client from Version 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.2 on LINUX 64 BI

Hi All,
Can any one please let me know the process to upgrade the Essbase Client from Version 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.2 on LINUX 64 BIT Server. Is it possible to upgrade the essbase client alone or do we need to upgrade the Essbase Server as a whole? Also, does Essbase upgrade is possible from 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.2 on LINUX ?
If Essbase client upgrade is not possible, can you please tell the list of Files that need to be download to Install Essbase server V 11.1.2.2 on LINUX.
Thanks
Reddy

Have a read of the following doc in Oracle Support - "How to Install the Essbase Client Tools MaxL and ESSCMD on a Planning Server Installed on Unix Server [ID 1477705.1]"
I know the title of the doc is not exactly the same as the question but it gives you an idea of the process based on 11.1.2.2, the easiest solution is probably to apply the maintenance release to upgrade from 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.2

Upgrade Hyperion Essbase 7.1.3 to 9.3.1.2

Upgrade Hyperion Essbase 7.1.3 to 9.3.1.2
1. (BSO/ASO/attributes, security, report scripts, partitions)
2. (load rules, calcs, security) (ASO and IRB extracts, Reports, Batches - custom or new in Reports, custom web forms)
3) (EIS testing)
Migrate all above essbase applications from Prd to Dev boxes, including:
l Outline,
l Calc scripts,
l Reports scripts,
l Load rules,
l Subsitution variables,
l Partitions,
l Related shell/Maxl scripts,
l Data
l Sample user security
l Filter.
In addition, for Collect, we also need migrate all objects EIS related, including OLAP model, metadata outline, drill-through setting and others.

First you should make sure that you run the most recent version of Leopard, or even consider to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Then just Install Logic 9 either over Logic 7 or from scratch, both works well. You should not install LP 8 first.

Can any one give pros and cons of upgradation for Essbase 6.5 to 9.3.1

Hi,
plz let know,
major differences between these two(Essbase 6.5 and 9.3.1)
which one is stable, advantages and disadvanges, which one you suggest
Plz let me know.
Thanks,
sudhakar

Hi Sudhakar,
As we know every new version is a upgrade version of previous release.
So new version is always better, but there is some scenario when previous version could be better like 9.2.x is better and stable version than 9.3.0 (As we find)
Answer of your (What you are asking )
definitely 9.3.1 is better and stable version
so go for 9.3.1
Thanks

Essbase 7.1.6 upgrade to Essbase 9.3.1

Hello
Need to get some details on upgrading from 7.1.6 Essbase to 9.3.1 on the Unix environment.
I read somewhere that there is no direct path to upgrade from pre-system 9 to 9.3.1. This upgrade will involve
1. Upgarde from 7.1.6 to 9.3.0.1
2. Use the wizard to upgrade from 9.3.0.1 to 9.3.1
How complex can be the migration with BSO and ASO cubes?
Any help will be appreciated.

You could try Essbase Security Dumper (ESD), available for download on www.dougware.com. It will export users, groups, and filters into a text dump that is easily read/modified and updated to another server.
Caveats: only works with native security, and assigns random passwords to users that are created (a log file shows all upload tasks which can be used to look up the password assignments).
It may help, although it's obviously not going to eliminate all the effort, as I don't believe there is a tool that will migrate native passwords from one box to another.
There are other security tools available there that can help recover individual databases and such.

Upgrade/Migrate Essbase Standalone from 9.3.1.0 to 11.1.2.2

I've got a standalone 9.3.1 instance that we want to take to 11.1.2.2. For us, the most cost-effective way is to patch 9.3.1 to a release we can migrate from, compatible with 11.1.2.2. So it's 9.3.1 to 9.3.1.6/9.3.1.7 in place and then to 11.1.2.2 on new hardware.
My concern is the move to 9.3.1.6. Has anyone done this, and what are the pain points? My users are only in Essbase (security). I believe I've read they need to get out of Essbase before going to the 11.1.2.2 HSS/Essbase scenario (HSS required for install/startup?)
Anything that I *shouldn't* do?
Thanks in advance,
-Vince

If it is standalone and only Essbase personally I see no point in patching and then upgrading to 11.1.2.2, I would prefer to have a clean install and then migrate the application as if you moving to 11.1.2.2 then no doubt it will be new hardware and OS.
One possible method would be to install and configure 11.1.2.2 then use the EAS migration wizard to migrate the Essbase applications, data would need to be migrated separated.
You would also need to consider security if you are moving to Shared Services security in 11.1.2.2
It may be worth discussing your options with a consultant as there important points that should be covered which is probably not for a forum.,

11.1.2 essbase upgrade not recognizing application files location

Hi all
I am upgrading an essbase database (Planning) from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2,
I trying to configure 2 essbase servers (original 11.1.1.3 and new 11.1.2) running on 1 physical server using different ports and filesystems
Following all the steps in the Deployment guide in Preparing Essbase Data for Upgrading,
I ran all the steps in the Manual file transfer instructions to copy from source machine to target machine.
I have started the steps in rehosting the essbase applications,
- Completed enable lookup by cluster name:
- I completed the server to cluster script on the HSS box (updateEssbaseServer )
when i went to run EssbaseUpdateEssbaseServer one of the planning databases did not update i got this error
[Mon May 21 14:03:50 2012]cphypd.sherwin.com///admin/Error(1002097)
Unable to load database [PlanFcst]
Error loading application = 1002097, continue...
looking in the logs i found that it was trying to go to the prior location of the 11.1.1.3 instance and not the new location of the 11.1.2 instance
Why is it not recognizing the new datafile locations

I saw this in the guide
I followed these instructions and specified a different directory when running the staging tool, the script was empty, i do not believe it should be, it should contain mapping info to update essbase.sec, which it did not
On the Configure Essbase Server page, for Full path to application location (ARBORPATH), specify the location of the existing or replicated Essbase data.
Note:
If you replicated data to a new machine, and if you selected Differently-named disk volumes, table spaces, or ARBORPATH on source and target or Consolidated disk volumes or tablespaces on target by exporting data during data replication, you must run a script immediately after configuring Essbase to update the Essbase security file to reflect the disk volumes on the upgraded system. The Essbase Staging Tool provides a script to update the settings in the security file (essbase.sec):
Start the Essbase Server and EPM System services. Navigate to ARBORPATH/app on the machine that is hosting the upgraded Essbase Server and run the following script using MaxL:
%ARBORPATH%/bin/startMaxl.bat -u userName editagtsec.msh
where userName is the Administrator user name to connect to the upgraded Essbase server. The script prompts you to enter the password.
Note:
editagtsec.msh could be empty in some scenarios. For example, when you launched the Staging Tool, the Staging Tool reports on existing volumes. If no volumes are listed, editagtsec.msh is empty.

ESSBASE 9.3.1 upgrade ( unix box)

I am planning on upgrading our essbase 9.3.0.1 to essbase 9.3.1. Please provide me an insight on how to do it and any problems or considerations ... And most of all I am looking for the documentation that gives guidence on how to perform upgrade. I would appreciate if you include details.
Thanks
AA

Yes you can use the EAS migration wizard to migrate the applications, it won't migrate the data so you will need to export/import. It also will not migrate security when in Shared Services mode.
Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.1 is prety stable and there are a number of patches available if you are worried about issues.

Benefits from upgrading from 6.5 Essbase to 11.1 Essbase

I am attempting to build a business case to upgrade our Essbase version from 6.5 to 11.1. Can anyone help me out by identifying major features/functionality that have been added to Essbase in version 7.x, 9.x and 11.x? I will attempt to track down release notes for each version but I am not sure how successful I will be.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Hi,
To add to already listed points by Glenn.
1. Life cycle management
2. Varying attributes( for SCD's slowly changing dimensions).
3. New strategy for backup and restoration.
4. With version11, you can clear data of a part of cube.
These are again few of them .

Upgrade from 9.2.0.2 to 9.2.0.3 to 9.3.1

Hello. We are upgrading our Essbase/BI environment from 9.2.0.2 to 9.3.1 so that we can take advantage of a few key improvements in BI and the essbase kernel (ASO data slices, BSO selective exports). We have run into a bug that the BI+ repository cannot be upgraded to 9.2.0.3. Our only choice it seems is to export all our objects, perform a clean install, and import one by one and rebuild the structures.
Has anyone done this upgrade before and do you have any workarounds for our problem? Do you know of any other problems with this upgrade path that we should be on the lookout for?
Thanks

Hi,
If I understand your issue correctly, this is not a bug. It is not possible to restore a BI+ repository. You will get an "Invalid schema" error or similar in the config utility. There used to be a document to twick the tables to restore early system 9 repositories but I m not sure this document would still work for 9.2.0.3 or 9.3.1.
You will need to use the migration utility to migrate all your artifacts. It works pretty well. If upgrading to 9.3.1 you can also use the Life Cycle Management (LCM) utility available from the e-delivery website.
If you havent got many objects in your repository, you may want to export them all (you can only export 1 object at a time until 9.3.1). You can for example export 10 FR reports. Then zip them all up into 1 file and import the zip file in your new repository. You will need to recreate the datasource connections for these reports in the new environment if they do not already exist.
This may not apply if you got your issue wrong...

Hyperion Essbase QAT Menu with Excel 2007

I just upgraded to Hyperion Essbase 11.1.1.3 and I recently upgraded to Excel 2007. Moving to XL2007 made the Essbase add-in two levels deep in the ribbon so I wanted to move this to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). I found a great tool to develop QAT menus authored by [url http://www.rondebruin.nl/qat.htm]Ron Debruin.
I took his code and customized it to work with the Hyperion commands. Picture of menu here: http://i.imgur.com/X7zFS.jpg
Everything worked great for a few month for both myself and about 75 coworkers but once we upgraded to Essbase 11.1.1.3 from 7, the menu macros stopped working for almost everyone except for myself and a few others.
I set this macro in the xlstart folders so that it opens with excel. The QAT menu still appears for everyone, but when selecting any of the menu items to run, nothing runs.
Example: When running
Sub MyMacro21()
 Call EssMenuVConnect
End Subfrom the custom QAT menu, nothing happens. What should occur is a popup login for Hyperion. I've even tried to run the code outside of the QAT menu and it does not work so this leads me to believe something is wrong with my Hyperion code. Now mind you, this work fine on my machine.
I'm unable to determine the cause for the macro to not work. Any help or troubleshooting pointers would be appreciated.
Here is the code that I'm using.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Mathieu,
As per support matrix documentation, Essbase 7.1.3 is not supported with Excel 2007.
You may have to upgrade to client version 7.1.6.7 which supports Excel 2007.
Thanks,

Default userid/password for Essbase 7.1.5

Hi All, I've just now upgraded to Essbase 7.1.5. At the time of installation I gave the 'NAME' as 'James Galt' and system password as 'password'. Earlier on every upgrade it used to recognize the old security file and I could login to a fresh upgrade using my old id/password. But this time it does seem to recognize the essbase.sec file. could somebody please let me know the default user-id password for version 7.1.5, so that I can atleast login and try creating some users. Any help in this matter s highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, [email protected]

There's no such ting as a default user ID and password for Essbase. The system user ID and password is the one you create when you install Essbase. IF you want to reset and start from scratch, delete the essbase.sec file and launch essbase.exe from \essbase\bin. You will be prompted to enter a new user ID and password. Hint : it's not good practive to use someone's name as the system ID. BE aware of a couple of things if you do this, any users, filters, applications, etc you had we'll be gone and have to be re-created. If this was an upgrade from the previous version, upon install completion, you would run the essbase.exe and it would prompt you for the existing password. If it's not working, chances are you are using the wrong password. Remember, the system password might not be the same as the admin password. For instance at my location, when I did the upgrade I entered the admin password and it didn't work. I asked everyone and they said that was the only password. After digging little deeper I found that a couple of years ago it was determined the passwords were too generic so they changed them. While they changed the admin password, the system password stayed the same. After digging, I found out what the old password was and sure enough I was able to fire it up. If you don't have existing apps and users to worry about then just start fresh, but if you want to salvage what you had, then you will need to find the right password. One more thing, if you have Essbase running as a service, disable the service and run it in console mode until you get this straightened out. HTH

Reg: Hyperion Upgradation from 7.1.x to 9.3.x and Shared Services...

Hi Everybody,
New to this forum and i want to know about upgrading the essbase from 7.1.x to 9.3.x...As i gone through PDF, it is mentioning as upgrading of 9.3.x from earlier versions prior to release 9.2.x cannot be done directly...Here comes with the migration/upgradation topic wherein... Can we go ahead and install essbase 9.3.x on new box and migrate app's / db's from 7.1.x old box?
One more thing is like...if we are using External authentication using LDAP in 7.1.x version for security....will it be mandatory to implement shared services separately in system 9 or continue with native security mode without installing shared services...I have only essbase and no other tools implemented...
Hope u guys understand my queries!...If any body can explain on these two aspects...will be of great help to me...
Thanks for the help in advance!!

Hi,
You will have to migrate the Essbase server from 7.1.2 to 9.3.1
The steps you will follow are as below: --
1. Configure Essbase on new environment, 9.3.1 by using the same user as on 7.1.2 [THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP, TO MIGRATE SECURITY]
1. Take data exports of all application/databases in old environment
2. Take backups of all Essbase objects, including essbase.sec in old environment. Take security file backup after stopping Essbase 7.1.2
3. Create the applications/databases with same name in new environment 9.3.1
4. Copy the outlines and open outline in EAS in 9.3.1 and save them again.
5. Copy all objects, rules, reports, calc for all applications.
6. Stop essbase, Eas in new environment and copy security file from old environment to new environment Take backup of Essbase.sec on new environment
7. Start Essbase 9.3.1
8. Validate all databases using Esscmd "validate" command
9. Reimport all data and run default calc on all applications.
10. Now, you have the security in new Essbase server, as in old environment
11. Externalize the security in EAS.
Caution: When you migrate to Shared Services, Essbase users and groups are converted to equivalent roles
in Shared Services. Shared Services creates a superuser with the user ID named “admin,” which
is read-only. If Essbase contains a user ID named “admin”, that user ID cannot be migrated to
Shared Services. Before migrating, change the “admin” user ID (for example, from “admin” to
“asadmin”).
It is not compulsory to use shared services with Essbase 9.3.1, if you have Essbase only.
but since it the way to go, you will have to migrate your essbase security to shared services.
Let me know if it helps, by defining the reply as answered, Helpful or correct.
Cheers
RS
