Urgent: Different Hyperion Components configuration in one Shared Service

Hi,
Here is my requirement:
We are updating all our existing Version 6X. 7X applications to EPM Version 11. I want to configure all the applications installed in different servers to one shared service. All users belongs one Active directory only.
Plan is like this
Server1: Essbase component. I have nearly 5 application created in this server.
Server2: Again Essbase. Again 5 application is this server.
Server3: Hyperion Planning,
Server4: Hyperion Financial Reporting
Server5: Hyperion Workspace
So, all these different Essbase and planning applications are installed in differnet servers. Can I have 1 shared Service for all these applications. If yes, can anyone suggest the approach and the configuration details.
Appreciate your help in advance!!!
Thanks a lot... Regards, UB

UB,
You can configure all the Hyperion components on different servers to a single shared services server.
When configuring the components, you point to the shared services server you want to use. Select Connect to a previously configured Shared services
Hope this post gives you an insight.
let us know if you have any other queries on this.
If something is wrong with the content in my post, please clear it by posting. TIA.

Configuring an Additional Instance of Essbase Server to one shared service

Hi ,
I currently have two separate installation of shared services with its own Essbase server(version EPM 11.1.1.1). I want to shut down one shared service and keep both the Essbase servers up pointing to only one shared services.
Can we have two independent installation of Essbase servers point to one shared service . If yes , can you direct ,me to the correct document or steps.
Thanks

Configuration of 2 Essbase Servers on one Shared Services Server

Hi,
Components Installed:
Essbase Server and Shared Services on 1st Server
Workspace, HFR and Web Analysis Installed on 2nd server. I have configured them and everything is working fine. No issues with this environment.
Requirement:
There is a Essbase server installed on Server 3. Its a Standalone. We want to make use of the Application created here and its security(groups etc) for creating reports through Workspace.
Question: Can I configure this Essabase server to the Shared Services which sits on Server1 (which already configured with Essbase already). If it is, are there any risks that we need to consider here.
Please advise me on this.
Thanks, UB

Thank you so much for your quick solution.
Please correct me If I am wrong here.
1) I need to run the configuration Utility on Server3 and give the same details used for Essbase in Server1. or
Is it ok if I run the Register with Shared services through Essbase Console on Server3 and point to the Shared Services server. I think by doing this, one more Essbase Node created in the Shared Services and the security on Essbase Server 3 can be utilized for generating Reports from Workspace.
Please advice John..

Purpose of Configuration utility and shared services????

What is the configuration utility ? what is the purpose of this.
what is the shared services and purpose.
Plese do not say " interview questions, please refer docs" .
Please i need a brief just for some idea.
Regards
Eshwar

Config Utility within Shared Services is to configure the Essbase Applications which are designed to work with Shared Services.
With the Configuration Utility, you can configure individual applications once they are registered with Shared Services. You can:
1) Deploy to Application Servers
2) Configure Repositories
3) Choose Application specific option
Depending upon which application you are configuring, you will see different options.
Shared services, as the name suggests, is to manage all the shared components within all the Hyperion applications which can work with Shared Services. Apart from config utility, another big use of its is to manage the users.
Hope this helps.

How to Regester one Shared Service with Another ??

Hi All,
I am working on Hyperion System 9.3.1. I am getting problem when I want to access Essbase through Planning.
Here is the scenario:
I have Hyperion Essbase installed in Computer 1 with separate Shared Services; I have Planning installed in Computer 2 with another Shares Services.
All things were working fine as I have created same users in both the shared services and was using native user of Essbase.
Now I have changed the native user to Externalize user in Essbase. Since then I am not able to access Essbase through my Planning application. The user privilege differs in both the Shared Services as Computer 1 has only Essbase and Computer 2 has Planning.
The error message I am getting in planning while connection is “Unable to obtain a connection to Hyperion Essbase”. In the essbase.log file I am getting “Login fails due to invalid login credentials” message.
I think the problem here is between Shared Services only. As both are in different system and the user privileges are also different.
Kindly suggest how to sink my Essbase between these two shared services.
Regards,
Navneet

Just to clarify,
You have Planning and Essbase on one machine and you have shared services installed twice on different machines?
I'm not sure if this architecture will work, you might have to separate Planning and Essbase to there own servers and create a new Essbase server specifically for Planning applications. Planning utilizes Essbase for its OLAP data store and Essbase registers with Shared Services directly.

Unable to register Hyperion Reporting and Analysis with Shared Services

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to install and configure Foundation Services in order to schedule Brio Query documents execution and distribution.
IBM DB2 Express has been installed and configured.
Shared Services have been installed and configured.
Reporting and Analysis - System 9 Services have been installed and not yet configured.
Reporting and Analysis - System 9 UI Services have been installed and not yet configured.
When proceeding with Hyperion Reporting and Analysis configuration in registering with Shared Services, provided with the same host, port, user profile and password used for configuring Shared Services, I get the following message:
"An unknown CSS error occured.

The service runs until I try to confirm the registration while configuring HRA. Then it stops.
Apologies for the simple question, as I am trying to make the whole Hyperion System 9 running with little knowledge of it: how do I log to shared services?
Thanks

Can we configure EAS and Shared services wih out a Database

Hi All,
Can any one please let me know if we can configure Essbase administration servies ans Shared services with out giving Database details while configuring.
If Database schema is not yet ready to use, is it possible to configure EAS and login to Essbase to create an outline with dimension building and Dataloading.
Regards

Hi,
I doubt it as when you start up the web applications they try and communicate with the databases, if they fail then the web app won't start up fully.

If I try with Embedded Java Container, Will I resolve my problem??

hi, this is a late reply.
I encountered the same problems as yours. I then read the releasenotes(for windows) of EPM and found this:
Could not start the Shared Services from Windows services.
solution: update Windows registry
1. locate the following item of windows registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hyperion
Solutions\FoundationServices0\HyS9FoundationServices
2. Under HyS9FoundationServices, add 1 to JVMOptionCount, and add a new JVMoption, whose value is set to be -DEPMRegistryUpdate=true。
3. restart the Shared Services server from Windows services.
It does work (for me). Hope this helps.
Best regards.

Shared Services: Multi-domain MSAD based configuration issue

Hello to All,
Can someone tell me how to configure MSAD to use two domains X and Y under one user directory D.
My actual configuration is based on the domain X and provides some MSAD users groups in D user directory.
But I need to provisionne another user that belong to another AD in a foreign domain Y.
A trusted relationship (approbation relationship) have been created between the two domains X and Y.
Is this kind of multi-domain configuration allowed in Shared Services?
If yes, how can I configure this?
OS: Solaris
Hyperion Shared Services 9.3.1
Thanks in advance for your help

There are a couple of ways:
1) Add a new provider in Shared Services
2) Modify your current provider to go to a higher level in your domain which will likely require different parameters on your existing Active Directory provider
Option 2 is preferable if you see this will cascade and other domains will be needed and they are all under a global company domain.

Shared Services hangs after MSAD configuration (9.2.0.2)

Hi all,
I am trying to configure MSAD with shared services. I successfully add the MSAD domain and then add it to the search order, being number 2 after native. I then restart HSS. When I go to open HSS or the framework login the whole thing just hangs. HSS does always start correctly. For testing purposes I am restoring the CSS file each time. I have tried 3 different user accounts so I doubt it is a permissions issue.
I have also tried configuring the MSAD domain, restart HSS, then adding it to the search order and restarting HSS. It made no difference.
Has anyone seen this before? The same domain has been added to a different instance of HSS on another server (DR) so I can't understand why it is hanging.
Many thanks in advance,
Nathan

After extensive testing with Oracle Hyperion the root cause was runnong HSS as a service following the configuration with MSAD. The config framework page displayed 9.2.0.2 as the version when it was actually 9.2.0.3 as confirmed by the HSS console. Apparently this problem can happen in 9.2.0.3.
Just thought I'd let you know the solution.

MSAD configuration with shared services issue?

Hi
i recently configured MSAD with shared services.but the problem is the hfm users are not in the same group in msad.so i am not getting all hfm users.so i configured 2 more msad groups.
now the problem is while configuring we have to give user name & password of any user in that group.here the password will change for every 45 days.and it is pratically not possible to have others password for the administrator to change for every 45 days in shared services.
is there any other solution for this problem.
HYperion 11.1.1.2

Can you not set up an one service account that exists in all the groups and doesn't have its password expiring?

Error While Configuring the Shared Service with Active Directory

Hi All,
I am getting a error while configuring MSAD with Shared Service, when entering the User Id and password and clicking next, the following error is displayed:
"EPMCSS-05180:Failed to validate Security configuration. Failed to connect. Invalid values for Base DN, User DN or Password. Enter valid value(s). Root Cause : [LDAP: error code 49 - 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C0903A9, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 52e, v1db1]"
The AD user has the read access to the all users and group in Active Directory. If I use an Active Directory user with Admin privilege, It is getting connected.
But client is not ready to provide the Admin Access due to their internal policy and I also don't have any document which says admin privilege is required. According to the document,the user should have the following privileges only.
"The distinguished name of the user that Shared Services should use to bind with the user directory. This user must have search privilege on the RDN attribute within the DN. For example, in the dn: cn=John Doe, ou=people, dc=myCompany, dc=com, the bind user should have search access to the cn attribute.Special characters in User DN must be specified using escape characters. See “Using Special Characters” on page 46 for restrictions.
Example: cn=admin,dc=myCompany,dc=com
But I am getting confused with the statement "This user must have search privilege on the RDN attribute within the DN". Is it not search privillege?
Can anybody help me with required privilege for Active Directory user to configure with Shared Service.
Thanks in Advance,
Sunil

Thank you All,
i tried connecting using AD Browser from Microsoft, and it went in properly. then i found out that the AD Team here were giving a Wrong Credentials to connect, they Gave me HYP_OID which infact turned out to be a Principal name instead of a 'cn'.
after searching in the AD Browser i found the correct cn which is "Hyperion OID", then it went to the second Screen where now i am trying to search for the Users based on thier Job Nature.
Thank you for all the Support Guys, you both "Celvin" and "John" are the Top Guys under my Search list for any technical Assistance.
Thank you once again Friends....

Shared Services Registration Failed While Re-Configuring EAS

Hi
I was re-configuring EAS and my shared services and deployment failed.I reached out to oracle and they gave me a solution to delete the HBR instances.
But when I try to open the url in microsoft word it opens in html format .And i am unable to delete any HBR instance.What is the correct way to do it?
The solution offered by Oracle Support:
To resolve this issue, do the following steps:
1. Log into the User management console using the URL http://localhost:58080/interop/index.jsp.
2. Append the URL to show the files http://localhost:58080.interop/content/files
3. Copy this URL and open in Microsoft Word. (file->open option in MS Word)
4. Provide username (admin) and password (password).
5. Check in AdminProjects, Products and Projects folders for the files and folders related to HBR and delete any occurences.
6. Save and close the file.
7. Restart the services.
8. Configure EAS with Shared Services using the config utility.
9. For Business Rules to work, go to \Hyperion\AnalyticAdministration\storage\easuser location and delete all contents from the easusers folder.
10. Restart the EAS server.
Thanks

I never really used the method with word and always used davexplorer which can be downloaded from http://www.davexplorer.org/download.html
Follow the rest of the instructions which you posted to delete HBR.
Cheers

Shared Services Configuration & Deployment

Hi,
I have a general query on the Shared Services Deployment. In the config. utlility you find an option to deploy shared services using an application server. After that we dont deploy it using web server. This being the case how are we able to access shared services using the url http://servername:28080/interop ??
I searched many places but couldnt find exactly what i am looking for. Thanks in advance for all your inputs...
Edited by: user12136330 on Nov 13, 2009 5:11 AM

The configuration utility deploys all the components and creates the application to run on the specified port, if you point the configuration utility to the installation location of web logic it does the rest for you. So basically once you have configured using the configuration utility the shared services app should be running and accessible by the standard url.
If you are struggling I think you should have a look at the installation documents
V9 - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/nav/portal_1.htm
V11 - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/nav/portal_1.htm

Hyperion Shared Services Backup

Hi All,
We are taking the backup of Domain.xml, CSS.xml, slide.properties, WorkflowEngine.properties, manage_data.properties,openldap-data & slapd.conf. Can anyone let me know what does this files contain and the importane of it.
Regards,
Kris.

Oh, so you've read the backup guide and want to know why you're backing these files up? Did you look at them in a text editor?
If you read the three bullet points at the top of the Shared Services Backup section, you will see that these files are:
* Shared Services application server configuration files
* OpenLDAP database configuration file
* All OpenLDAP data and log files
You are getting the noninstaller's perspective on these files, so you might want to see what others have to say on the subject.
Domain.xml -- Looks like a configuration file for Shared Services Could this be important: http://docs.sun.com/source/819-0221-10/crdomxml.html
CSS.xml -- external authentication config file
slide.properties -- looks like some kind of Apache config file tied to Shared Services Could this be important: http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/wck.html
WorkflowEngine.properties -- another Shared Services config file (I am seeing a trend)
manage_data.properties -- again, Shared Services, this one looks like a server name and port for the dreaded and hopefully truly dead HUB
openldap-data -- a folder that contains the OpenLDAP xml database files
slapd.conf -- Main config file for LDAP daemon. See: http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap26sec213.html

Cameron Lackpour
