User directories hanging in shared services

Hi,
I am installing HSS 9.3.1 on a dev box with win sever 2003. It is a VM. It installs and deploys fine. I can login to HSS. However, when I click on the user directories it justs says loading and hangs. I successfully configured eas against the install of HSS and the admin user authenticates.
I looked at the logs and there is reference to css.xml file having an unknown source. I went to the link in the log file and it all looked fine. I uninstalled hss and eas, got rid of the registry enteries and reinstalled HSS. The same thing has happened.
I have installed 9.3.1 numerous times but never seen this. Both services (olap and HSS) are started and will restart.
Thanks,
Nathan

Hi John,
Ie8........ Not supported...... I assumed it would be 7. I didn't install the server and they obviously just put on ie8.
Forget I ever asked.

After you copy the SQL Repository across to the new environment and log in with the owner account, you will be required to register the application with Shared Services. After registering with SS it should prompt you to "Migrate Users and Groups" which will do the migration for you.

How to sync user for planning from Shared Services

Hi ..
Can anybody please let me know how to sync users for planning from shared services.
Thank you.

You need to expand on your question.
But the basic concept is you create or connect (for LDAP) users in Shared Services. You also create groups as required for these users. Then in shared services you provision those user to Planning applications (directly or indirectly through groups)
Then in Planning you will see users or groups. And in planning you connect them to either members in dimensions or to objects like Forms, Task lists, Business Rules.
There is therefore no such thing as synching Shared Services with Planning.
Note: the 2 steps mentioned above can be done in batch through load utilities.
Please expand you question if necessary

All external users are missing in Shared services.

Hi All,
We are on Hyperion System 11.1.2.. Today all of a sudden in production users are not able to log in. So logged in as admin (native user) to see whats going on. Surprised to see that all the groups are empty and all the users are removed from all groups. So when tried to add back its unable to find the external users.
So some thing is wrong with external users.
Any suggestions on how to fix or any one experienced similar issues?

Got this same error in Shared Services 11.1.1.3 Was due to an Active Directory Domain Controller being decommissioned Here is a fix you might try, It basically refreshes your user database connection
Log into Shared Services
Click on “Administration” on the “Shared Services” toolbar
Click “Configure User Directories
Check the Radio button next to “Active Directory” (or the db your are experiencing the error) and then click “Edit”
The next screen displays the connection info for “Active Directory”(or the db your are experiencing the error), nothing to change here, just click “Finish” and the connection refresh should start
Re-start All Services
Verify that you can now look up an external user without error

Users detail extraction from Shared services.

Hi Gurus,
I want to extract all the users with their User id's, FirstName and LastName.
I tried provisioning report but no luck with First and Last Names.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

Thanks for the response John!!
I have exported the foundation shared services.
It shows the users from only Native group directory in resource folder.
I want all the users from all the directories.
Please help.

Generate report to show all users and groups in Shared Services in EPM 11x

Hi,
Is there any way to generate a report (like a migration report or job status report) which can be generated through workspace/shared services 11.1.1.3 so that my admin can look at all the users and groups created. Something that I can view and probably print out? Any suggestions?
~Adeeba

Yes, I knew this one. This basically shows me the users and groups assigned specific provision access. Is there any way to view a report that shows which users and groups have access to dimensions of an individual planning application?

Cannot check if user already exists in Shared Service (9.3.1)

Hi,
I wrote some code based on the sample from 9.3.1 CSS documentation for adding users for shared services.
Thing is that I need this script to determine if a user exists or not so it won't go through the creation code again.
So, from the code:
public class UserFunctionsSample extends Sample {
public CSSNativeUserIF createUser() throws CSSException
          CSSNativeUserIF user = null;
          HashMap context = new HashMap();
     user = cssDMAPI.getNativeUserInstance(context, principal);
     user.setLoginName("testuser" );
     user.setDescription("Created for test");
     user.setFirstName("First");
     user.setLastName("Last");
     cssDMAPI.addNativeUser(context, principal, user);
     cssDMAPI.setPassword(context, principal, user.getIdentity(),"testuser" );
     return user;
public static void main (String [] args) throws CSSException{
               /* Create a native user */
               UserFunctionsSample cu = new UserFunctionsSample();
               CSSNativeUserIF user = cu.createUser();
I have Sample.java and ApplicationContract.java set up.
What I tried to do is to use the following code (also taken from the same sample) just before calling createUser()
CSSNativeUserIF user = cu.createUser();
to determine if user exist.
/*lookup the user just created by identity */
CSSNativeUserIF u = cu.lookupUser(user.getIdentity());
cu.dumpUsers(System.out, "Found user", new CSSNativeUserIF[]);
For some hidden reason, I keep getting:
Exception in thread "main"
Error Code: 4
com.hyperion.css.CSSInvalidUserException: User not found with identity: native://DN=cn=32687d765b75fb16:13778f33:12684aee8f5:-8000,ou=People,dc=css,dc=hyperion,dc=com?USER     Error Code: 4
     at com.hyperion.css.spi.impl.nv.NativeProviderDirMgmt.getNativeUserByIdentity(Unknown Source)
     at UserFunctionsSample.lookupUser(UserFunctionsSample.java:101)
     at UserFunctionsSample.main(UserFunctionsSample.java:123)
User was created successfully at the previous run. Why can't I find it now? What am I missing here?
Thanks, Assaf

Planner provisioning for user groups lost in Shared services

Hi All,
Everything was fine. All of a sudden, no users were able to login in to planning.
On investigation it was found that all the planner/planning provision to the groups is lost in the shared services.
Digged into log for a while and couldnt find out any issues.
What could be the reason we lost user group security provisioning only to planning?
Could anyone please help on this?
Regards,
GG

I used to have same experience every time migration happens from dev to UAT or prod etc.
After migration, registering with shared service will be successful. When i try to sync, migrate user identities (provisionusers.cmd) from shared service all user group info vanishes in planning (Add/Edit access page). i.e hsp_access_control table is truncated or all rows are dropped.
Then i have to set it up correctly. Guess this happens because usergroups have different id between different environments. When sync'g planning at target, it will not be able to recognize the wrong usergroup id of source system.
My assumption:
When provisionusers.cmd is run, planning fetches the usergroup provisioning information from shared services in to hsp_access_control planning repository table. could someone confirm the same?
Is there any other way to overcome this issue recurring on every time migration happens?
But the problem today was different: the provisioning is lost in the shared services itself which i havent witnessed so far. We didnt migrate recently, everything was file till 8 AM, but screwed around 8.10 AM. everything was up and running.
Cheers,
GG

Externalizing Users from Essbase to Shared Services in OEPM 11.1.1.2

Hi All,
I have a strange problem like when we installed and configured EAS, Essbase with Shared Services these products are moved to the control
of shared Services. I know that in EAS after configuration the control moves to HSS, but Essbase control also moved to HSS
Is it possible for Essbase without using Externalize option to have control from Shared Services
I didn't use the Externalize feature from Essbase to move the user information to Shared Services
I need to migrate the users on 7x server to 11x server..Is it possible from 7x as it is not registered with Shared Services

Please clarify and let me know if i need to produce more information

Users not listed in Shared Services

I've created a Hyperion Planning application 11.1.1, provisioning was done perfectly, while giving access via "*Access Control Report*" i couldn't select any user including native users like "admin", none of the users are found in the field available users or groups.
Configured Hyperion applications including: Essbase, Planning, Shared Services and Workspace with SQL server 2000.
Please suggest. Thanks in Advance.

Hi John,
We have created a planning application. I've given all the provisioning access to the the default user (Admin). While creating form i got an error "Security and/or filtering has resulted in a required dimension not being represented on this data form.". These are the turnarounds i've worked on this issue.
1) Checked in Administration-->Application Settings -->Enabled use of the Application for "All users".
2) In Assign Application Owner tab under select user, Admin user is selected.
3) Checked in Administration-->Dimensions-->Account (dimension is selected). But, in "Assign Access" i didn't find any of the users (including Admin).
4) I navigate to Shared Services Console and checked in the Planning application-->Access Control Report, in that also I didn't find any of the users in the field of "Available users or Groups"
This is my First installation of Hyperion Version 11.
Thanks,

Hi,

My question is what is the best way of migrating users from Hyperion HUB to Shared Services.

How to get New Added User's log from shared services in 2012--Important

Hi Experts
All my user are MSAD users but i want to generate See log for all users in Hyperion who are all added in 2012.
Please let me know ,we will get this information from Backend SQL and what are the tables related for this.
Any one help me in this...highly appreciated.
Thanks,
RK

Hi,
You don't add MSAD users in shared services. The users is added to the directory that is configured as MSAD in shared services and you will
see the user in shared services after that. I don't think so that Hyperion can provide any info regarding the users addition in shared services.
Thanks,
Sourabh

Problem Configuring Shared Services

Hi guys,
i am configure the EPM system configurator 11.1.1.3 with SQL server it shows the error like "shared servie database not found in the specified database"

If you are using credentials other than the native ones, then you have to configure the user directories in the shared services. In the shared services console aadministration -> configure user directories.

Essbase not registering with Shared Services in 11.1.2.1

During configuration Essbase is is failing on Register with Shared Services. The configuration was pretty straight forward and all defaults. I ran the diagnostic tool and it came back with connection refused. Essbase is the first (other than Shared Services connection) that I have attempted to configure on this box
We are running an all Windows environment with four separate servers. Shared Services is running on a separate box, connection to the SQL server is working, passwords are correct, username is correct, database is correct, there are no firewalls in place and I can get to Shared Services and workspace, services are running...
Any ideas?
