O2B Utility :@hyperionplanningandmore

O2B Utility

There are  times when we have to query the Hyperion Planning Application's relational database to get the Auditing reports, alas! we don't have an option to get them from our Planning interface. Many times we have wondered how to get the list of dimension members, data forms, there layouts, users security reports, task list status, supporting details, account annotations etc.

 What if there is a web based utility to take care of all this and more....!!

 My good friend, Rahul Sharma has taken the effort to design this utility .. Pleased to share the details on my blog:

Import Security : Planning

There will be a huge number of requests to grant or remove security access for users. For one or two changes, it is simple task, click on member and then assign access and grant permission. It becomes tiresome when we need to make changes for large number of members. It involves considerable amount of time. Automating the security changes saves considerable amount of time. The ImportSecurity utility in planning loads access permissions for users or groups from a text file into Planning. Importing access permissions using Import security utility overwrites existing access assignments only for imported members, users, or groups. All other existing access permissions remain intact. The SL_CLEARALL parameter clears all existing access permissions. ImportSecurity utility is located at /Hyperion/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/Planning/planning1 on Planning server as shown in the following picture: Steps for importing access permissions: STEP1 :Create a text
