Migration of HFM application from 11.1.2.2 to 11.1.2.4

Migrating HFM application from 11.1.2.2 to 11.1.2.4 involves several steps -

 - Copy application from HFM copy utility
   a. Ensure UDL files of the source and the target app are created correctly. (preferable to run copy utility from the target HFM server.)
   b. When copy, select converting from EPMA to Classic, this ensures copy successfully. You would have to convert it back to EPMA later.
-  Run install configuration from HFM server, and check upgrade from previous release.

 - Manual update Hyperion table from the back end. (Oracle is yet to provide patch on this).
Without this step, you won't be able to see the app from Consolidation Administration / Application.
  HSX_DATASOURCES table needs to be manually updated in order to add the application in
  Consolidation Administration.Without this, the HFM app will not show up as an application
  a. To add a new record, open the HSX_DATASOURCES table and insert a new line.
  b. For the new record, enter the following values in the column fields:
      Product = Financial Management
     AppName = <Name of the target application>
     Description = <Description> (optional)
     DSN = unused (should be left blank)

 - Right click and select Register to Register the application
   a. Set as "disable" in admin mode by toggle clicking admin mode.

 - Provision yourself as the admin of this HFM app, or you will not be able to transform the app.

 - Transform from classic to EPMA by Navigate/Administer/transform classic to EPMA. After this is done, the app will show up in Application library.

- Some says you have to export EPMA from source and import it to target. But I don't see you need it.

ESSBASE: When to Use FIX vs. IF

Hyperion developers love FIX and IF, both are powerful tools and interchangeable in usage in certain circumncetances. There are also differences between the two. Let's take a look. FIX...ENFIX Usages and Rules Every FIX must be ended with ENDFIX. But it is optional to end the statement by ";" FIX Mbr can be any comma-delimited list of members, or member set functions FIX Mbr argument can be a combination of members from multiple dimensions           FIX(@CHILDREN(Qtr1),"Actual")                 Calc Dim(Accounts);           ENDFIX FIX Mbr list from the same dimension means "OR", cross dimensions means "AND" FIX cannot be used inside of formulas in outline, they can ONLY be used in calc scripts Cannot consolidate a dimension that is FIXed on. Following will generate an error when run          FIX(@CHILDREN(Qtr1),"Actual")                 Calc Dim(Accounts, Scenario);         ENDFIX It c

Essbase Currently Not Accepting Connections

Image
Application is currently not accepting connection. Essbase Error(1054009) There are occasions when users receive the above error message when they try to connect to Planning Essbase cluster via SmartView. This is normally caused by one of the following activities:   a) Database is being refreshed (Classic) or deployed (EPMA). Solutions: Wait till refresh to be completed. b) Allow connects under security is unchecked.  Solutions: In EAS, from application, select edit property, and under General tab. c) Connection is disabled using MaxL . Solutions:   Code examples: alter application $4 disable connects; alter application $4 enable connects ;   d) Connection is disabled using ESSCMD. Solutions: Code examples: DISABLELOGIN; ENABLELOGIN; When all of these are checked, and users are still not able to connect to the application, then the ultimate solution is to restart all Hyperion services.

HFM: Performance Tuning on Application

Image
There are three Planning Applications (seven Plan Types) are already there in Production, all perform well. After HFM was migrated from SIT to the Production environment recently, we immediately noticed the performance of HFM is not well. Normally it takes 15 seconds to open a HFM application in SIT, in production it takes over a minute to open (if after the services are recycled, it takes more than four minutes to open a HFM application). However, the consolidation time is sort of normal. (two to five minutes to consolidate a month, which contains about 400K of records). Following is the list of tuning activities, with regards to HFM tuning - 1) From DB side      a) Ask DBA to confirm that Auto Create Statistics is enabled for the HFM schema.      b) Have DBA check how frequently the SQL Server is doing automatic statistics maintenance.      c) Ask the DBA if the indexes may need to be defraged. DBA reported back -      a) Auto Create Statistics are enabled for all the
