Object Variable or With block variable not set error in FDM 11.1.2.2

Object Variable or With block variable not set error in FDM

Description: When configuring Hyperion FDM Load Blance Configuration, we did use correct user in General tab, we will get error in Authentication provider tab.

Load Balance Manager Configuration Screen:

Authentication Providers tab:

Solution: Start --> Run --> dcomcnfg 

Computers --> My Computer --> DCOM Config --> Right click on COMJNIBridge --> Properties

In properties tab, goto Identity tab then change username(windows user) which is used for FDM configuration.

Then try again Authentication Provider,

Getting blank screen when try to install Offline planning from Workspace in 11.1.2.2

Getting blank screen when try to install Offline planning from Workspace in 11.1.2.2

When we are try to install Offline planning from Hyperion Workspace, it is giving blank screen.

Cause: OfflinePlanning.exe is not in proper location.

Blank screen:

Solution: Workspace expecting OfflinePlanning.exe file from the below location.

E:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\epmstatic\wspace\OfflinePlanning\Client

(Note: In wspace folder, if OfflinePlanning\Client are not there, create it and paste OfflinePlanning.exe file in Client folder)

Thanks,

Mady

Unable to connect to database. Please check database information and verify database is accessible - in Hyperion FDM 11.1.2.3

Unable to connect to database. Please check database information and verify database is accessible - in Hyperion FDM 11.1.2.3

To resolve the above isssue, we need to follow some steps when we use Oracle as RDBMS.

1. Create user with the following Roles and Privileges

Roles: DBA, Resource, Connect

Privileges: CREATE ANY SYNONYM,CREATE CLUSTER,CREATE INDEXTYPE,CREATE PROCEDURE,CREATE SEQUENCE,CREATE SESSION,CREATE TABLE,CREATE TRIGGER,CREATE TYPE,CREATE VIEW,DROP ANY SYNONYM

2. Copy the tnsnames.ora file info from 

C:\app\hypadmin\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN (tnsnames.ora)
to
C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\config\dbclient (tnsnames.ora)

C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\config\dbclient:

 C:\app\hypadmin\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN:

Now try to Create a FDM application again

3. Upto 11.1.2.2 version, we need to install Oracle Client 32 bit first, then 64 bit Client(full clients) for Oracle Database(RDBMS).But for 11.1.2.3 version no need to install clients separately, hyperion will install clients automatically.

Thanks,

Mady

Update Substitution variables automatically using batch script

Update Substitution variables automatically using batch script

   Description: Using single batch script, we need to update

• If we enter Current Month(CurrMonth), then automatically Previous month(PriorMonth), Next Month(NextMonth) will update automatically.
• If we enter Current Year(CurrYear), then automatically Previous Year(PriorYear), Next Year (NextYear) will update automatically.
• Need Prompt to enter Month and Year
• Need Output: for example if we enter month and year,

Ex: Enter Month: 01             Enter Year: 10

      Current Month: jan         Current Year: FY10

      Previous Month: dec      Previous Month: FY09

      Next month: feb             Next Year: FY 11

                                Variables in Essbase, which we need to update.

                                 
                                          Preparing Encrypted Username and Password: 
                                                     Generate Public and Private keys using essmsh -gk

                             Note: Public key is for Encryption, Private key is for Decryption

                       Encryption:

                       Create one text or maxl script with username and password (login credentials of the Essbase)

1                                     

                              Encrypt Username and password:  (Using Encryption Code)

                        essmsh -E C:\Madhu\maxl\login.txt 32171,1911896561

                       After executing this, essmsh will create one file (login.txts) with encrypted username and                                password as shown below

                       Use this encrypted Username and Password in the max script as shown below:

Maxl Script:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

login 'admin' 'password' on 'hypserver';

alter database 'App1'.'Plan1' set variable 'CurrMonth' $CurrMonth;

alter database 'App1'.'Plan1' set variable 'PriorMonth' $PriorMonth;

alter database 'App1'.'Plan1' set variable 'NextMonth' $NextMonth;

alter database 'App1'.'Plan1' set variable 'CurrYear' $CurrYear;

alter database 'App1'.'Plan1' set variable 'PriorYear' $PriorYear;

alter database 'App1'.'Plan1' set variable 'NextYear' $NextYear;

logout;
