Essbase Warning 1002023? Check your Config File
The other day I was running MaxL scripts on some Essbase applications at a client. In the corresponding MaxL logs generated by data load statements, I noticed the following warning being generated. I noticed that every data load and dim build was generating this same warning. WARNING – 1002023 –……
Reduce size of Runtime Prompts in Hyperion Planning applications
Hyperion planning users sometimes, when running a business rule that require some kind of selection through a runtime prompts window will complain that the OK and Cancel button are not displayed on their screen, as seen below. The runtime prompt window is too big for their screen resolution, so those buttons……
Shell Scripts and Exports II
Today, I thought we’d do a followup post to this one where we initially started looking at shell scripts. Exports are by default, single-threaded, i.e., you get 1 file exported out and when it hits the maximum (2 GB in most cases), a separate file is spawned. But what if we wanted……
DRM Errata Close Version
Here’s a quick little post on some errata in the DRM documentation. I was recently looking at setting up a process to unload versions as part of my automation scripts. I was using regular batch utility execution, instead of the configuration file method (see here). According to the documentation, the……
Shell Scripts and Exports I
Though we are fast moving to a cloud-focused world, I still thought we’d look at an old school solution. I was recently doing some work in a Linux environment which had multiple Essbase cubes and I had to do something simple, set up backup exports for these cubes. To do……
Groovy, REST and HPCM: POST
Now that the KScope hangover is done with, I thought we’d look at another example of how REST with Groovy works. Today, we will look at another example using the HPCM REST API; this one deals with executing tasks, such as running rulesets. While our earlier example used the “GET”……
Groovy + REST + ODI
Today, I wanted to post a little addendum to our earlier post on Groovy and REST. We’ll take a look at how you can further extend your integration capabilities, by adding ODI to your Groovy > REST calls. You might have noticed Groovy on ODI and wondered how you might……
Groovy, REST and HPCM
One of the most important things that Oracle has come up with recently, is extending the capabilities of EPM products, using various REST APIs (Representational State Transfer). For instance, PBCS has a REST API that can be used to run business rules, or load data using these API calls. So……
ODI and Dynamic SQL
I thought today we’d look at how executing dynamic SQL with ODI is both simple and effective. I ran into a scenario recently, where I had to make updates to an indeterminate number of tables. The number was indeterminate, but not the names of the tables. The table names were……
ODBC Setup Essbase Unix
This one’s an oldie and applies to those of us who use Unix/Linux as the operating system for Essbase. If we need to set up SQL loads to Essbase cubes, we have a couple of options, either use OCI connections, or use old school ODBC connections. In most cases, we……
DRM External Lookups
Today, I thought we’d look at one of the new features that DRM has rolled out. Version 11.1.2.4.330 allows you to do a lot of cool things. Perhaps my favorite among them, is the ability to perform external operations, whether to web services or to databases. Let’s look at how……
Enabling multiple user (RDP) connections for Windows Server
For this post, I just wanted to document a quick tip when working on Windows Servers and using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections. On projects, I often end up using a service ID for logging in remotely to the Windows Servers that clients use. The issue with using a service……
A DRM Hack I
Here’s a quick hack, which works on versions 11.1.2.4+. I haven’t had the opportunity to check out earlier versions. I ran into a scenario recently where I had a number of exports that I needed to rename. Now, DRM does not give us the ability to rename objects. It allows……
Internet Explorer and DRM View Issues
So here is a quick post for using DRM with Internet Explorer 8+. Now I never use IE when I am in development mode. It’s usually Firefox for me. But a lot of times, there are folks who have to use IE, because it’s the corporate standard (In 2016, it’s……
Planning PasswordEncryption utility
It’s been a few months since my last post. In this post, I will detail the step (in Windows and Unix) to encrypt a password (using the PasswordEncryption utility) in order to use it with planning utilities, like for example the outline utility. This post will be the first one of a series that……
