Hyperion Essbase 9.3.1.4

Defects Fixed in Release 9.3.1.4

· 6566253– Spreadsheet Client. In Oracle Essbase Spreadsheet Add-in, running VBA programs results in large memory usage in Excel.

· 6672034 – Data Extraction. Issuing Lock and Send commands causes Spreadsheet Add-in to terminate abnormally.

· 6679658 – Metadata. Error messages are sometimes not displayed correctly in the Outline Editor verification window, and a warning treated as an error prevents an otherwise correct outline from saving.

· 7434971 – Attributes. When attributes are retrieved from a BSO application/database, values for shared members do not roll up correctly if the base member is not a level 0 member.

· 7488884 – SQL Interface. At times, no more than two data loads can occur simultaneously.

· 7510439 – EssPerl. Repeated calls return this error message: XS: Fatal error in perl_MaxlOutputNextRecord.

· 7523766 – Kernel. ASO databases may terminate abnormally during exports that are large enough to create multiple export files. (When an export file reaches 2 GB, it starts writing to a new export file that is named sequentially.) This affects both serial and parallel ASO exports.

· 7558950 – MaxL. Parser errors are returned if you encrypt MaxL import data statements containing slice options.

· 7569551 – Agent. Essbase agent hangs when concurrent set active operations are occurring and applications are crashing.

· 7572754 – Metadata. Converting a BSO outline with Time Balance members to aggregate storage sometimes fails and causes Essbase Administration Server to terminate abnormally.

· 7579482 - Metadata. Oracle's Hyperion Planning – System 9 refresh does not complete if a database partition exists, and changes are made to a shared member.

· 7582994 – ASO. YTD calculations return incorrect results when MaxFormulaCacheSize is not large enough.

· 7585809 - ASO. Retrieving data from an ASO database results in an exception and the application terminates abnormally.

· 7596581 – Installation. Errors occur in two Essbase startup scripts (startmaxl.sh and startesscmd.sh) on Linux platforms.

· 7609962 – Calculator. Dynamic calculation results differ between Release 7.1.3 and later releases because of a dense "two-pass" calculation that depends on sparse members.

· 7610230 – Server API. When running MDX queries, Essbase Server terminates abnormally if the administrator forcibly logs out all sessions.

· 7610650 – Server Administration. When loading data and an error occurs, the process continues to run and the application cannot be stopped properly.

· 7612546 – Agent. When OUTLINECHANGELOG is set to true in the essbase.cfg file, ASO applications terminate abnormally when a member is renamed and the outline then is compacted using MaxL.

· 7621018 - MaxL. The MaxL “Display Session” column fails to identify the request and prints a generic request name, “MaxL:Execute.”

· 7623915 – Agent. On HP Itanium, setting the jvmmodulelocation to null in the essbase.cfg file causes errors when you start Essbase.

· 7628183 – Client API. Essbase drill-through reports are not accessible to users connecting with SSO token, through clients such as Oracle's Hyperion Web Analysis – System 9.

· 7631145 - Server Administration. When importing, files larger than 2 GB cannot be opened.

· 7634059 - Server Administration. Connecting and disconnecting to a client multiple times causes the Essbase agent to terminate abnormally.

· 7653525 – Data Extraction. When two consecutive cells with values of zero or #missing return multiple LROs of different types, the returned LRO types are not correct.

· 7660269 – Data Extraction. ReportWriter script executed on an empty target partition incorrectly suppresses rows with data.

· 7660328 - API. Calling the API function EssDisplayTriggers sometimes caused the API client program to terminate abnormally. In addition, if the user was searching for a trigger that did not exist, the function would erroneously give the error message “Please upgrade your client application.”

· 7675024 – MDX. An exception occurs on Essbase Server when running an MDX query with embedded substitution variables.

· 7682215 - MDX. Essbase Server terminates abnormally on Windows AMD 64-bit platform while running an MDX query that has a calculated member on the slicer with a solve order of AGGREGATION_SOLVEORDER.

· 7682260 - MDX. Essbase Server terminates abnormally while running an MDX query containing a FILTER function with a large conditional expression.

· 7827499 – Security. Running a full refresh in Administration Console causes groups to disappear from Hyperion Shared Services.

· 8230465 - Data extraction. ASO databases sometimes terminate abnormally when an Essbase user who has a filter runs a report.

· 8230482 – Calculator. Some calculations take much longer to run in Essbase 9.3.1.2 compared to Essbase 7.1.3 on HP-UX 11.11 PA-RISC.

· 8251402 – ASO. Retrievals on ASO databases with time balance may fail with out of memory errors.

· 8257035 – Agent. Essbase agent fails when the app directory contains a symbolic link.

· 8264167 – Data extraction. Execution of incorrect asymmetric report on BSO database by user with filtered access causes Essbase to terminate abnormally.

· 8272955 – MDX. Member names that contain ampersands (&) that are not surrounded by spaces (such as “B &Z” for member name) cause query errors.

· 8275606 - Calculator. When running Essbase on 32-bit HP-UX, calculations yield double values for some members.

· 8296358 – Installation. Spreadsheet Add-in installation location is incorrect when using the silent installer.

· 8331758 – Agent. After upgrading to Release 9.3.1.3.4, Essbase terminates abnormally during security refresh.

· 8334682 - Server Administration. The Essbase Administration Server call-back URL is not set properly in the .instance files when Essbase Administration Server is configured on SSL port. Instead of pointing to https, it points to http.

Hyperion Essbase Administration Services 9.3.1.4

Defects Fixed in Release 9.3.1.4.00

Export Filters To Shared Services Fails

Clicking the “Export Filters to Shared Services” button in Administration Services Console fails to export filters and results in an error message. This feature was deprecated, and the button has been removed. (7705584)

Data and Rules Files Deleted when Running MaxL Import

Executing a data load in MaxL Editor using the “import…from local” command may result in deletion of the data and rules files. (7507246, 7566303)

Invalid eas location is Set when Deployed on a Port with Fewer than Five Digits

If Administration Services has been deployed to an application server on a port number containing fewer than five digits, an invalid eas location will be set in Essbase and Shared Services instance files, causing access errors while using Administration Services in Shared Services mode. In other words, a deployment on port 9091 may generate errors, but a deployment on port 19091 will not. (7516152)

Essbase Application Settings Deployed from Performance Management Architect Works Only Once

After deploying an application to Essbase From Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Architect, subsequent attempts to redeploy the application may result in application settings not being successfully deployed. (8202329, 8225983)

Data Load Scale Setting May Not Work Properly

When loading data using a rules file, setting the scale may not work correctly. (7625997)

Incorrect Check Box Description In Add Essbase Server Dialog

The “use external authentication” check box was incorrectly labeled in the Add Essbase Server dialog box. The name has been changed to “Use Single Sign-On.” (8354239)

Unnecessary Warning in Partition Wizard

In Partition Wizard, a warning message regarding potential overwriting of a target application and database may be displayed even if no target application or database has been selected. (7272501)

Passwords Displayed as Clear Text

When viewing Essbase server connections in the User Properties dialog box, the password may be displayed as clear text if the password column is moved. (7637083, 8321435)

Can't Delete Sparse Dimension on AIX

If Essbase Administration Server is installed on a server running AIX 5.3, deletion of a dimension from Administration Services Console may fail. The outline will show the dimension as deleted, but when the outline is closed and reopened, the dimension will reappear. (7557518)

Cancel Button in Deleted Dimension Dialog Box Works Incorrectly

Clicking the Cancel button in the Delete Dimension dialog box may result in an incorrect result, such as incorrectly removing the dimension from the outline view even though the dimension is not deleted. (7562501)

Retrieving/Saving Substitution Variables Fails

Retrieving and saving substitution variables using the Open SQL dialog box may fail. (8409278)

Unicode Encoding Issue with Report Scripts

When a report script is run against a non-Unicode application, the resulting report may be UTF-8 encoded. Attempting to import this script into Essbase will generate an “Essbase Error: Loading Unicode-encoded data to non-Unicode mode application is not supported.” (8450369)

Saving Aggregate Storage Outlines to Essbase 9.3.1.2 Will Fail

When running Administration Services Release 9.3.1.3, saving an aggregate storage outline to Essbase Release 9.3.1.2 will fail. (8413246)

Empty Nodes Displayed Incorrectly

Displaying an Attribute Calculation dimension in Filter Editor in an aggregate storage outline may show extra empty nodes. (6551283)

Data Load Errors Not Written to File

When Administration Services Console is running on a different computer from Essbase Administration Server, errors occurring during a data load may not be written to the error log. The workaround is to specify a different error log file for each separate load. (7552094)

Silent Installation May Not Read Setup

When performing a silent installation of Administration Services Console, the installation may not read information from the setup file. (8246949)

Null Email Address May Corrupt User XML File

When a user is external, and there is no email address associated with the user, the user XML file may become corrupted. (8447445)
