Brio 6 to Hyperion 8.3 USDA – Forest Service Experience
Brio 6.6 • Started in 2000 • Grew slowly till 2004 • Very little financial data online • User community grew from a few to a few hundred
Brio 6 Queries • Initially simple • Results and 1 or 2 pivots • Variable limits • Build your own query • Query section with meta data model • Results section and maybe a pivot • Eventually more complex queries • Sub-queries and preformatted reports.
Build Your Own Query • Query section with meta data model • Do not save results. Set in startup • var SecCount = ActiveDocument.Sections.Count • for (j = 1; j <= SecCount ; j++) • { if (ActiveDocument.Sections[j].Type == bqQuery) • ActiveDocument.Sections[j].SaveResults = true } • Auto logon-users can save query to PC. • name = "fs_public" • ActiveDocument.ODSUsername= name • ActiveDocument.SetODSPassword(name) • Auto process of queries
Hyperion Intelligence 8 • New financial data warehouse coming • Number of users to multiply • Number of queries to multiply • Need to use SQR • Need to publish other than .bqy
Installation • First install on test server (8.2.1) • Repository in Oracle • Oracle user id HISERVER • Test queries and administration • IRM setup Tomcat 4 • Tomcat 5 had errors • Thin-client queries did double process • Tried services set to auto
Installation of 8.3 • Production server • W2K, IIS • Install SQR first • Standard 8.3 install including JRun • Problems • Oracle userid HISERVER same as test • Need to completely clean out old tables • JRUN default parameters too small. • Still can’t set services to auto
Posting Queries • All users logon as one user id. • http://sv68wo.wo.fs.fed.us:8100/Hyperion/browse/Main?user=fs_public&pass=fs_public • Turn off personal pages • Hyperion has special version of launchApp.jsp • Hyperion fixed thin-client process • Process queries in startup script • Some build-your-own queries but • User has to logon to run in plug-in
Lessons so far • Don’t do standard install • Separate Foundation, Java server and Oracle • Plan your folder structure • Publish end-user documentation • Don’t be afraid. It’s not difficult.
