Using common shared services for Planning & HFM

Hi All,
I've already installed Planning and shared services in one server. Now i would like to install HFM on other server, but would like to use the shared services on the first server. In this case, during the installation on the second server, do i need to uncheck the Foundation services ? What other products that i've to uncheck. How about Reporting & Analysis Framework ? Pls. advice
Thanks,
PVR

You will need to only carry out the following step in regards to foundation on the HFM server
"When you configure in a distributed environment, you must configure the Shared Services database on every machine. On the first machine, you are setting up the Shared Services Registry. For configurations on subsequent machines, choose “Connect to a previously configured Shared Services database.” In this case, you are letting the machine know the location of the Shared Services Registry."
Then configure the HFM components.
Cheers

Shared Services and Planning Synchronization

Ok, this is probably useful for a lot of people, but can anyone articulately explain the relationship between MSAD (or whatever the source security system is), Shared Services, and Planning? There are like 5 utiities and or Web Client buttons that claim to sync different parts to each other.
MSAD is the source system. It is "plugged into" Shared Services. (Are these always in sync, is there some utility to run to sync them?)
Then there is this Shared Services "Native Directory" what is this? There is a "Sync Native Directory" button in Shared Services, what does this sync?
Assuming that SS is synced with MSAD, we then turn to Planning. In Planning, there are "Migrate Identities" and "Remove Non-Provisioned Users/Groups" buttons. What do these buttons sync, and is Migrate Identities the same as the ProvisionUsers.cmd utility?
I want to know the best way to keep all this in sync, MSAD to SS and SS to Planning. Is any of this automatic, and if I need to run manual utilities, which ones do I need to run and which "buttons" do I need to push.
thanks

Hi,
Ok here goes, I am not really sure which version you are on because there was a bit of a change between 9.2 and 9.3 with regards to MSAD (uses the ObjectGUID instead of SamAccountName)
Sync Native Directory - Shared Services contains all the product registration details, OpenLdap (Native Directory) stores all the provisioning, sometimes it is possible they could go out of sync which is pretty rare, so the sync native directory makes sure Shared Services and Open Ldap are in sync.
Migrate Identities - I think this is more of the line of the updateusers.cmd utility where if a user has changed in the directory (this was more of an issue when SamAccountName was used as users group change OUs in the Active Directory) it will update the planning table with the new details.
Remove-Non Provisioned Users/Groups - I am sure this doesn't actually work and has been removed in later versions, it is meant to clear up users/groups in the planning tables where there don't exist in Shared Services anymore.
It depends what you mean by is MSAD always in sync with Shared Services, if you are using 9.3 and configured to use the ObjectGUID then it is pretty much in sync as the id is not likely to change, if you are using SamAccountName and a user moves place in the organisational structure then it can go out of sync. There is another ultilty for that :) (update native directory utility)
If you run the provision users utility after you have provisioned a user in shared services it will add the user to the planning tables and also push the user to essbase.
All depends what you are finding is it a problem to what utility to you want to use.

Issue bringing up Shared Services and Planning

Hi guys,
We have added 3 new MSAD to our Shared Services for user authentication, previously we already had 2 setup and working fine.
Now that we added the 3 new ones, we restarted Planning and Shared services and now it doesn't come back up.
We see the following error message on the logs:
2009-11-27 17:05:09,702 [Thread-23] WARN com.hyperion.css.spi.impl.msad.MSADCacheUpdater.updateUserCache(Unknown Source) - Ignoring User. Error getting User for User Cache:[LDAP: error code 32 - 0000208D: NameErr: DSID-031001CD, problem 2001 (NO_OBJECT), data 0, best match of:

     'DC=IL,DC=xx,DC=Corp'
These "xx" we are just using because of the company name but it has the right name
That's the security log for Shared Services.
Do you have an idea of what I can do either to bring it up with the new MSAD or delete the newly created and bring it back up?
Thanks in advance

Usually your MSAD admins will have a master domain setup that has access to all geographic specific domains. You would have a user setup in this higher level domain
Let's say you have the following setup:
na.ad.co.com
sa.ad.co.com
eme.ad.co.com
jp.ad.co.com
cn.ad.co.com
You would just need one domain setup at ad.co.com with a user who has read access to that directory. The way Shared Services security is setup you may need to re-provision some users with that new global provider and I highly recommend using a group filter -- your group filter can be in any of the domains just all users would need to be added to it in that domain.

Can we use same Business Service for Sender and Receiver

Can we use same Business Service for Sender and Receiver

Hi
In addition to the above infomation explaining about the Business Service..
Business Service: Address an abstract business entity as the sender or receiver of messages.
Using a business service, you can define the technical or business subunits of the companies involved and then assign them the relevant interfaces.
The business services are used when configuring cross-company processes also..

Using Lightroom publish service for either Flickr or SmugMug. I have many images with a keyword Madd

Using Lightroom publish service for either Flickr or SmugMug. I have many images with a keyword Maddy. This frequently doesn't show up in SmugMug or Flickr. All my other keywords seem to work fine. Anybody experience anything like this?

You only get one opportunity to set up the hard drive under publish and the folder cannot be changed unless you get a plug-in to provide a work around.
However you could just create a generic publish folder - something like Photo Lab, or Print Job.
But you could then right click on your publish folder and select “make target collection” - you will see the plus sign added.
Simply highlight the photos you want to print and press B (the same as adding to a quick collection) and your Publish Services folder on your hard drive will be populated with the exports.
The real problem is that you would need to edit the publish settings every time you required different dimensions etc (not sure possible). I use a similar system, which works well and I like how I can see what has already been published and what is still to be published but my prints are always the same size and resolution.

Hardware recommendations for Planning & HFM

We currently have Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3 running on three servers (one dedicated for RDBMS, one dedicate for Essbase, and another that is running everything else (EPMA, Planning, Financial Reporting, Shared Services, Workspace, Calc Manager, etc).
We are going to implementing HFM and upgrading to 11.1.2 for our current components and I have reviewed the server sizing for 500 users (175 active) for Planning and HFM. I was wondering if anyone had any experience running both Planning and HFM together and if I need to bump up the server specs for anything to run both smoothly?
The EPMA Installation Start Here recommends the following for Planning for Windows Servers:
Web Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
Essbase Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 8 GB RAM
Other Services Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
RDBMS Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
And recommends for HFM:
Web Server: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
Financial Management Server: 8 x 3 GHZ + 16 GB RAM
Other Services Server: 2 x 3 GHZ + 8 GB RAM
RDBMS: 4 x 3 GHZ+ 16 GB RAM
The Essbase server for Planning will be dedicated, and the Financial Management Server for HFM will be dedicated, but if we wanted to share the Web Server and Other Services Server for both Planning and HFM, do you think we need to size these servers a bit more robustly to handle both HFM and Planning?
We are looking at 8 x 2.66 GHZ with 32 GB of memory for our Web Server, Other Services Server and Financial Management Server (essbase and RDBMS are sized fine for now), so I just wanted to get some input from the community before we make the recommendation to go ahead with that hardware.
Thanks!

Depending upon your Essbase/Planning Application you might need to increase the Ram. Remember you plan the architecture for 3 - 5 years in mind. Its a good practice to have variable like number of users increase per year, new applications, evolving data-set etc into consideration.
In one of the post, one of the expert suggested to have 2Gb per essbase application.

Shared Services in Planning

Hi,
We have a scenario wherein we are installing planning software along with the Shared services on one windows box and Essbase and the Oracle Database on another windows machine.Before proceeding further i would like to get some inputs from the experts what are the Pro's and Con's of doing this.
Do we need to install the Shared services on both the machines?
What can be the best way to split the components accross the two windows machines.
Any iputs related to this will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
GRN

Hi,
All depends on the load you are going to put on the servers, size of cubes, amount of calcs, amount of concurrent users, activities etc..
Lots of clients have different configurations all depends on how they are using the system.
It is usually good practice to keep the essbase server on its own and keep the app servers together.
Once again it all depends on what products you are going to be installing and how they will be used.

Planning project not showing in shared services and planning app wizard

I installed planning ver 9.3.1 and now when want to create a planning application, the 'planning' option is not showing in app wizard. It is also not showing in shared services project list. Can you please guide...
Thanks & Regards.

Thanks for the reply. I can login to planning AppWizard but when want to create a planning application, in the drop down of shared services project, the 'planning' option is not coming.
As I have installed planning afresh, so right now no planning application I have in my computer. so, no meaning to login to http://localhost:8300/HyperionPlanning/ because it is showing 'no application'.
Please revert back for any clarifications.
Thanks & Regards.

EPMA for Planning & HFM

Hi All,
I have a requirement where by I have to create Dimensions for HFM and Planning via EPMA. Now my question is how do i do it?
I used the EPMA generator excel facility to generate a ADS file to be loaded to EPMA. But now it carries all the properties which planning application carries. Now since most of the members and dimensions are same on HFM I want to share those members across applications.
But would I have to set the properties on HFM manually or do I have a way to import the file for HFM as well.
If so does it mean I have to import it twice?
Please let me know your views and suggestions or alternatives on the same?
Cheers

HI Graham,
I have a question here. I have an ADS file which is for HFM which I load and it loads to the master library. Now for planning I have another ADS with planning set of of properties and with different hierarchy as I have in HFM.
How do I solve this issue through import as it overwrites the existing hierarchy. Is that the application view for HFM and Planning needs to be created manually? Also how does the properties like dynamic calc and other planning attributes show up ?
Cheers

Use formscentral basic service for 2 months

I know FormsCentral is being shutdown. However, I have a form that I would like to have the Basic Service enabled on for the next 2 months. How can I enable the billing on my account to activate this service for a very short term form? I have looked several places, but cannot find the "UPGRADE" area anywhere.

I was a paid user in the past. the form is for a scholarship application
for the local Rotary club. They used the service at this time last year
and would like to use it again while they can plan an alternative for
next year. The application period ends April 6, 2015 so it is slightly
over 2 months, but well within the expiration time frame.

Mail configuration in shared services for Workspace/Web A Reporting purpose

Hi,
I have configured SMTP Mail Server name in the shared services but still not able to send HFR and Web analysis reports through email.
When I click on Email Link in WOrkspace on a particular report, getting below error:
Enter the user email address in Hyperion Shared Services, Ask your Administrator to update your email address listed through Hyperion Shared Services.
What needs to be done to avoid this issue? do I need to enter user's mail ids in Admin mail field in Shared services configuration page. If yes, how can I enter all user id', i mean, any comman's or some delimiters in between mail id;s.
Please advise me on this..
Thanks,
UB

There are also the .properties files that have to the SMTP server name as well. I know for FR it is in the FR_global.properties file.

Use of Shared Variables for data transfer from a RT traget to a desktop application

Hi,
I want to adopt the shared variables to share data in an existing distributed application comparable with the T3 Benchmark configuration in this document:
[1] http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/5B4C3CC1B2AD10BA862570F2007569EF
The current implementation uses a well tuned solution with RT FIFOs and TCP/IP communication with a desktop-PC which monitors and stores the data.
The desktop application runs with a much slower execution rate than the TCL. So the TCP/IP packets are used to buffer the data with a package size dependent on the data send rate.
To use the shared variables instead of this RT FIFO + TCP/IP implementation I need to read the shared vairable buffer at once each time the desktop application reads the shared variable.
But according to this quotation from [1]:
"With buffering, you can account for temporary fluctuations between read/write rates of a variable. Readers that occasionally read a variable slower than the writer can miss some updates."
this seems to be impossible. Am I right?
Are there any suggestions to circumvent this problem? Or are shared variables not made to share data between unsynchronized processes without data loss?
Regards Till

You can use the error-cluster to detect the end of your queue. The erroroutput of the shared variable will return a -2220 Warning, if it reads a value it has read already before. I attached a modified example and saved it for 8.2 I hope you can open it.

Regarding the use of different services for different parts in the same display layout

hi,
i am trying to design an application using flex at the frontend and in the gui what i have designed i have the upper portion consisting of four panels
displaying the critical events at real time whereas in the lower half of the gui design i have designed something that based on the user provided input the
the information should be displayed in the lower half of the gui design layout.i just wanted to know whether it is possible to use two services like request response http based service for the lower half and real time data pushing using either amf or amfx or http with polling in the upper half.but i want them to be displayed on the same gui.
thanks
