Urgent: Load balance the shared services server

Hello Experts,
One of my customer would like to know that is there a way to load balance the shared services server i.e., Register one essbase server with more than one Shared services server, so that if one shared services fails the other can authenticate the logins for the essbase server.
Also, referred the following weblink for 11x, Table 3. EPM System High Availability and Load Balancing Matrix
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/epm_high_avail_11111/frameset.htm?ch01s04.html
Do we have any docs for version 9x?
Environment:
Essbase 9.3.1.3.00
OS : IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-bit) 5.3
Any suggestions would be of great help. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sonal

I would not attempt any changes until 9.3.1 service fix #16 is released.
Oracle is back-porting clusterware support to with service fix # 16.
HSS 9.3.1sf 16 "active passive failover cluster with Oracle Clusterware 11g, for hss web app and openldap"
Based on the Oracle escalated support resources I have been in touch with solutions are not supported. Please realize this is not load-balancing and is fail-over support only.
To my knowledge there is not a "active-active" 9.3.1 Shared Services that is supported by Oracle.
You can read more about an active-passive fail-over at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/pdf/epm-hss-high-avail-windows-whitepaper.pdf
They are supposed to release a 9.3.1 white paper once service fix #16 is fully released and has been client tested.
Regards,
John

  • Essbase Product Existence Check Fails against the Shared Services Server

    Hello Everyone,
    I am a new to Essbase
    When I am launching the EAS web console and trying to log in, its giving me an error saying "Could not connect to Administration Server".
    I looked in ESSBASE log file its showing an error 1051429 : "Essbase Product Existence Check Fails against the Shared Services Server with Error []"
    This error actually started when I copied an Essbase Application from one of my computers to another computer. All I simply did is copied the application folder into "app" folder. I am not sure if migration
    is possible just by copying and pasting the application folders. I am not sure if doing this messed up security with shared services. Also under c:\hyperion\essbase folder I see another text file named "SharedServices_Security_Client".
    Its log for today is below:

    Thank you

    From the log
    Error establishing socket to host and port: chandan:1433. Reason: Connection refused: connect
    The SQL server itself is not running or TCP/IP is disabled. That can be confirmed by runing netstat and see it is listed there.
    Then run telnet chandan 1433 and see it can connect
    To enable the TCP refer to this link

    Yes,It was working earlier.
    When I have added NTLM authentication for FDM I am getting that error,but instead of that if
    I am adding the authentication provider as LDAP(CSS) I am not getting that error.
    So finally i have added only one authentication provider and that is LDAP(CSS).
    I fallowed ur document for integrating the FDM application with planning application.(http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/2008/07/planning-v11-drill-back.html )
    For the global logon information I have given admin and password , which I have given while adding the LDAP authentication (CSS).
    I am getting machine profile missing error when i clicked on the dimension and the target dimension test box contain connection failed.
    Can u suggest me where am I wrong?

  • Load balancing SMA web service and SMA end point URL

    Hi,
    We have set up the recommended 3 servers with Azure Pack, SMA Web Service and Runbook Worker.  We are now wanting to configure the Azure pack portal to setup the SMA endpoint url for the web service.  Before we do that, we are assuming we should
    load balance the web services to answer on 1 url (ie, smaws.domainname.com).
    1. Is there any guidance or things to consider when load balancing the 3 web services to answer to 1 url.  We will probably use f5 since that is what we use.
    2. The end point url that we configure for Azure Pack automation should be this load balanced URL correct?
    3. Should we have the Azure pack installed on just one of the servers or all 3.  We did all 3 but it seems like server2 and 3 just redirect to 1 anyway so I am assuming the URL for Azure pack is stored in a db somewhere.
    4. Are there any other components of SMA/Azure Pack that should also be load balanced?
    Thanks
    Thanks Lance

    So in this case you need to register the SMA Runbook Workers (do this on machine 1):
    $webService
    = "https://localhost"
    $workers
    = (Get-SmaRunbookWorkerDeployment
    -WebServiceEndpoint
    $webService).ComputerName
    if($workers
    -isnot [system.array]) {$workers
    = @($workers)}
    $workers
    += "MachineName2"
    $workers += "MachineName3"
    New-SmaRunbookWorkerDeployment
    -WebServiceEndpoint
    $webService -ComputerName
    $workers

  • 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..

  • How to Move the Shared Services Registry to a different SQL Server

    I have an Essbase installation purely running Essbase and Financial Reporting/Web Analysis.
    The Shared Services database is held in SQL Server 2005 on one hardware platform and I need to move it to an alternative hardware platform also running SQL 2005.
    I thought it might be as easy as backing up from one server and restoring to the other and then running EPM System Configurator.
    Firstly, when running configurator and selecting the Hyperion Foundation Configure Database option, on the 'Shared Services and Registry Database Configuration' screen the details of the original hardware are displayed, clicking 'Next' gets no response.
    If I can resolve this first issue, how do I then re-point the database to the new server?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi John
    Took a look at the link thanks.
    On point 3 it says to stop the original database. If you take the database offline, in configurator you don't then get the options in option 5!
    In the dos command window for configurator I get 'Unknown Source' messages (either using current server or new).
    configtool.log lists as follows. Does this point to anything?
    Thanks.

  • Neet to locate the shared services native users in SQL server tables

    Hi All,
    We are using Hyperion Shared services to provision users to essbase, planning and HFM(all version 9.3.1). And we are using SQL server 2000 as the database. We created few native users in shared services and provisioned them to HFM, Essbase and Planning. Now we need to find those native users' information in the underlying SQL tables. I followed the documentation and sync-ed the native to relational tables using shared services, but I cannot see the user info for all the users I have created. I would appreciate if you can suggest me how to find the shared services users' and roles information in SQL tables (in the back end).
    Legards,

    Hi,
    There are a number of free Ldap browsers that you can download, e.g.
    http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/demo.html
    http://www.ldapbrowser.com/download.htm
    Once you have installed then ldap browser you just need to point it to your Openldap
    Host :- machine with OpenLdap running
    Port :- 58089
    Base :- dc=css,dc=hyperion,dc=com
    User DN :- CN=root,dc=css,dc=hyperion,dc=com
    And just the root password which you can change in HSS in 9.3

    Since active deployment of Windows Server 2012, our servers support team began to utilize new feature - switch-independent load-balancing NIC teaming. At first look it seems great - no additional network configuration is required and load balancing is performed by server itself by sending frames in round-robin or some hash algorithm out from different NICs (say two for simplicity) but with same MAC address. Theoretical bandwith is now grown up to 2Gbps (if we have two 1G NICs per server) against failover NIC teaming configuration, when one of two adapters is always down.
    But how does this affect (if does) switching and routing performance of network equipment? From point of view of L2 switch - it has to rewrite its CAM table each time a server sends frame from different NIC. Isn't it expensive operation? Won't it affect switching in a bad way? We see in our logs that same server make switches to change mac-to-port associations several times per second.
    Well, and how does it affect routing, if the switch to which server is connected is L3 switch an performs routing for the subnet server connected to? Will CEF operate well if ARP entry chages several times per second?
    Thank you.

    Since nobody answered here, we created service request and got the following answer (in short):
    L2 MAC flapping between ports is very bad and you must avoid such configurations as much as possible. There is one possible variant that can be considered in your situation - use port-channel (either L2 or L3), in this configuration port-channel will be treted as single port and there won't be flapping.

  • CSSimport.bat error: while migrating the Shared Services groups and users

    Hi,
    I am trying to migrate the shared services native users and group from 9.3.1(on server A) to 11.1.1.3(on server B)
    - I have taken the export in CSV format from 9.3.1 using CSSexport.bat.(export.csv) -Successful.
    - I have copied this on the 11.1.1.3 server and changed lil details like removing the admin user etc.
    - When I am trying the import this on 11.1.1.3, I am getting the below error:
    CSSimport importexport.properties2010-10-11 09:36:41,328 Attempting a import operation
    log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (com.hyperion.css.common.CSSLogger).
    log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
    null
    Aborting program...
    - There are not log or error files geting generated - The only error recieved , is given above.
    - I have made the necessary changes to the impotexport.properties file on 11.1.1.3 before starting the CSSimport utility.
    Can you please let meknow what should I do to overcome this error.
    -thanks,
    Ankit

    First thing I would try would be on the 11.1.1.3, try and run an export, if it works then run the import on the same file, this way you will make sure you have the version 11 utility working.
    Once you have done that then you can move on to the 9.3.1 export file.
    Cheers

  • Service failure on Shared Services server

    We are using HFM 11.1.1.3.500. I recently tried to log-in to the shared services test server that hasn't been used for a number of months. I immediately get the error *"Internet Explorer could not connect to hou2frs03:28080"* . On investigating, I find the following error in the application event log on the SS server: *"Cannot start service HyS9BPMA_NetJNIBridge...The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"* After rebooting all the HFM test servers, I again cannot connect and get the same error in the event log.

    the netjni bridge message is relating to the EPMA component not starting up correctly.
    it is not related to shared services not starting.
    you need to look at the shared services / foundation services log files to understand why shared services didnt start.
    possibly if you haven't used the environment for a while and now it is not working, you may have database usernames/passwords in your oracle database which are set to expire after a certain period of time. it would be a good start to verify with your oracle DBA that all the usernames / schema names for the configured hyperion products in the oracle database are not set with a password expiry, and if so, ask for them to be unlocked again, and then restart the hyperion services. if the DBA insists to change the passwords you may have difficulties to reconfigure the hyperion components with the new passwords, so unlocking or removing the expiry restriction is the best step. but that may not be the problem, it depends what you find in the log files.
    you can use the ziplogs utility to gather up all the logs to submit them to a support ticket if you can't debug them yourself. check out the epm installation and troubleshooting guide (pdf document) on the oracle documentation page as a first step.

  • Load Balancing, User Visible Service objects, Runningman

    1. Load Balancing
    Load Balancing a partition has nothing to do with single or multi-threaded
    behaviour of that partition. If you load balance a partition it means that
    you can start 1 or more copies of that partition. How many to start can be
    specified. If the partition is load balanced there will be router partition
    that routes calls to any of the services in that partition.
    Now let us look at a special kind of partition (load balanced partition
    that has an Env visible SO and a user visible DbSession). This is one of
    the design patterns to acccess the database efficiently. Each of these
    partitions are single threaded because DbSession is inherently single
    threaded. This partition is single threaded because Dbsession is single
    threaded and not because the partition is replicated.
    Another case is when you make a partition load balanced and it has only
    SO(s) made out of tool classes and does not have Dbsessions then each of
    these partitions can run multi-threaded beacuse there are no
    single-threaded objects to make the partition single threaded
    2. User Visibility
    Case A - If you have only User visible SO(s) in a partition then each
    behaves like a global named object. Whoever accesses it will get a copy of
    their own.
    Case B - If you have a user visible SO and an Env Visible SO in the same
    partition then the user visible SO will be private to the partition and
    cannot be accessed from outside that partition.
    3. Running Man
    When you run an application by clicking on the running man Forte uses its
    default partitioning scheme and runs the application. The partition scheme
    that you made will be used only when you run the application distributed or
    from the partition workshop. This is the time you might encounter errors if
    your partitioning is not right.
    Hope this helps.
    Nirmal

    Don,
    You are right. I should have said - Forte uses its own partitioning scheme
    not the default scheme you see when you open partition workshop.

    Actually, clicking on the "running man" from the repository or project
    workshop will cause the application to be run VERY differently thanrunning
    it distributed.
    It's not technically correct to say that the default partitioning schemeis
    used with the running man.
    Forte consulting offers a deployment workshop that covers the finerpoints
    of this and other distributed issues.

  • Load  Balancing Oracle BI Presentation Server with OC4J

    Hello All,
    Is there a way to perform Load Balancing Oracle BI Presenation Server the way we do with IIS (defining in ISAPIConfig.XML file)?
    I am looking some pointers towards Clustering/Load Balancing Oracle BI Presentation Servers using OC4J not IIS.
    Thank you.

    Thanks , the Oracle BI Presentation Server is running now ,but still the oc4j display the below error :-

  • What determines the location of the shared services log files

    I've just completed an install and configuration of Shared Services 9.2.1. The shared services log files, SharedServices_Security.log, SharedServices_Admin.log, etc., are being written to the C:\WINDOWS\system32\null\logs\SharedServices9 path. These files should be written to the Tomcat application folders in the Shared Services home, CSS_HOME, folder. e.g. d:\hyperion\sharedservices\9.2\appserver\installedapps\tomcat\5.0.28. This is according to the Shared Services installation documentation.
    Is there any way to get these log files written to the d: drive? The following references sharedservices.logdir from the hsslogger.properties file but I don't see where a value is set that I can change.
    log4j.appender.FILE.File=${sharedservices.logdir}${file.separator}SharedServices_Security.log
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hi there!
    Are you looking for the AOM log file?
    By default it´s located at:
    SIEBEL_ROOT\ENTERPRISE\SIEBEL_SERVER\log
    If you can´t find the AOM log files here, try to check the "Log directory" server parameter value.
    Best regards,

  • Where is the Shared Services user security stored?

    On Hyperion Planning 9.3. I can view the security of my users/groups via the report in Shared Services, yet I would like to put the output in Excel and there is no option other than Print/Print Preview.
    which repository database contains the Shared Services security?
    Thanks
    JTS

    Hi,
    If you are talking about the security to members, forms then this is held in the planning application database.
    If it is provisioning of the application then it is a combination of the Shared Services database and OpenLdap database. (not so easy just to create a report on the provisioning by looking at the database)
