Cloning of EPMA Applications in 11.1.2.3

Application Cloning utility can be used to clone entire applications.This utility can be very useful for logical restore and backup.

1. EPMExportAll - clones all the application in an environment under one folder.
2. EPMImportAll - imports all the applications cloned into EPMExportAll folder into another environment.

**Note :Does not import artifacts for HPCM and HFM.




  1. Create a .properties file named input.properties with the following text.
User=<username for LCM export>
Password=<password for LCM export>

  • Save it as input.properties
  • Browse to D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\bin
  • Run : “epm_cloneexport.bat input.properties”
  • Press Enter!!
  • Browse to : D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\import_export
  • You will find a folder created : EPM_CloneExport
  • Inside this all the applications backup, EPM Architect, Essbase Cluster, HSS, HFR all the artifacts that can be imported through LCM can be found & imported.
  • For importing you can follow the similar procedure , just use epm_cloneimport.bat to import all the artifacts.

For UNIX Syntax:
epm_cloneexport.sh input.properties


For Windows Syntax:
epm_cloneexport.bat input.properties




Thanks!!

Essbase for Beginners: Data Block concepts Part A

An Essbase outline has a number of dimensions.  The number of dimensions can range in quantity and size, but each dimension is identified as a dense or sparse dimension.  As we understood the concept of Dense and Sparse in our last discussion, let’s begin with the cocept of data blocks now. To understand this, let’s carry forward our hierarchy of 5 dimensions in a test application in my previous post.. We have 3 dense and 2 sparse dimensions each with 3 stored members. So let’s begin: Number of Existing Blocks = (potential number of blocks) * estimated density= 9 Block Size = Dense Stored * Dense Stored * Dense Stored * 8 bytes = 3*3*3 *8 = 216 Potential number of blocks = Sparse Stored * Sparse Stored = 9 If all dimensions are assigned as Dense, Number of Existing Blocks = (potential number of blocks) * estimated density= 1 Block Size = Dense Stored * Dense Stored * Dense Stored * 8 bytes = 3*3*3*3*3 *8 = 1944 Potential number of bloc...

Shared Connection and Private Connection

You connect to data sources through shared or private connections. Shared Connections •Shared connections are stored in a central location and are available to multiple users through the Smart View Panel. You cannot add, edit, or rename shared connections, but you can save them as private connections, which you can edit and rename. Private Connections •Private connections are those that you create by saving a shared connection to your local computer or by entering a URL to a provider that is not configured for shared connections. When you create a private connection, it becomes the active connection. Shared Connections : 1. From the Smart View ribbon, click  Panel . 2. From Smart View Home or from the menu displayed when you click the arrow next to Home button, do one of the following: • Click a connection name under  Recently U sed . You can click    to pin items to this list. • Select  Shared Connections  to open th...

Smart View Timeout Error : The Request Timed Out. Contact your Administrator to Increase netRetryCount and netRetryInterval.

Objective:  The idea of the post is to automate the updating of Registry Entries required to increase the Timeout for Smart View. IE7 and IE8 & IE9 have a 30-second timeout when waiting for communication from the server. When adding form data, Smart View can take longer than 30 seconds to get confirmation from the Planning server that the changes were made and saved. A similar constraint exists for Essbase data. Pre update registry Settings: Open the command prompt window by clicking the start  button   >Search bar >Key in regedit navigate to the below path and check the existing settings you might not have” KeepAlive,ServerInfo & ReceiveTimeout” HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings Automated Resolution Steps:      Create a file called “smartviewfix.reg”      Edit the file in notepad.     ...
