It is recommended that all Hyperion applications be installed as the same user on UNIX
platforms.
All Hyperion products install common third-party and internal components under
HYPERION_HOME. To ensure that installers have the permissions required for modifying the
HYPERION_HOME location on UNIX platforms, it is recommended that all Hyperion applications
be installed under the same HYPERION user account.
Deprecated Functionality
The following functionality has been removed:
•
Support for Hyperion Analyzer tags has been removed, so this release will not work with
Hyperion System 9 BI+ Web Analysis. However, this release will work with Analyzer Release
7.2 and earlier.
•
Support for Hyperion Reports tags has been removed, so this release will not work with
Hyperion System 9 BI+ Financial Reporting™. However, this release will work with Reports
Release 7.2 and earlier.
Top

Hyperion® System™ 9 BI+™ Application Builder J2EE™ Release 9.2.0.1 Readme
Considerations
Application Builder J2EE is fully tested to ensure high quality; however, some issues remain.
The following sections describe the known issues in Application Builder J2EE.
General
•
Automatic deployment to WebSphere is not supported.
•
Automatic deployment to UNIX is not supported.
•
HDP1.2(Hyperion Directory Protocol1.2)
If Hyperion Reports server supports HDP1.2, Hyperion Reports guided analysis does not
work unless the alias mapping for Hyperion Reports server is defined at
WAAGuidedAnalysis.properties located at WEB-INF/classes. Even though the alias is an
optional feature, it must be defined for Reports server if it supports HDP1.2.
•
In the Application Builder J2EE applications and sample pages, all usernames and passwords
are case-sensitive.
•
You must use a date format in queries, filters, and substitution variables that are
appropriate to the relational database management system (RDBMS) packages you use for
the repository and relational data sources.
•
The tag useClientBean in the WAAAnalyzerDesign library has a version attribute that must
be set to 6.5.1 or 7.0.0. This attribute is not documented in the JSP Technical Reference
Guide.
•
When you view a PDF file created by the Export to PDF functionality, an intermittent error
may result in the display of a blank screen. This intermittent error occurs because Internet
Explorer 6 fails to load the Adobe Acrobat plug-in.
To correct this problem, you must set up Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 4.x or 5.x as
follows:
1.
From Adobe Acrobat Reader, navigate to the Preferences panel.
2.
Navigate to the Web browser options.
3.
Clear the check box Web Browser Integration or Display PDF in Browser.
4.
Click OK.
•
An intermittent error may occur when you run a view using an applet. This intermittent
error occurs because Internet Explorer 6 fails to load the correct plug-in.
•
You cannot embed Application Builder J2EE functionality in a Hyperion System 9 BI+ Web
Analysus JSP.
•
You cannot use special characters in a view name. Special characters include the forward
slash ( / ) and non alphanumeric characters.
•
A filter for the HTTP session, called WAASessionNamespaceServletFilter, was added. If you
are using guided analysis and have enabled cookies in your browser, you must enable the
WAASessionNamespaceServletFilter filter in the web.xml. This enables the simulation of
multiple sessions for a single HTTP session, which is directly linked to the single root
browser window on which the cookie is set.
14
Hyperion® System™ 9 BI+™ Application Builder J2EE™ Release 9.2.0.1 Readme
•
Files with path names that exceed the Windows limit of 255 characters are not valid.
To ensure that you do not exceed this limit when you build an application, take the following
steps:
1.
Move the WAA directory to a directory with a shorter name.
2.
Reset the WAA_HOME variable to the new location.
Solaris
•
If you are using Solaris and a Corba server with JDK 1.3.1 or later, Hyperion suggests that
you have the same adm.jar file in the classpath for both Application Builder J2EE and
Common Warehouse Meta-Model. This way, there is only one administrator server instance
running.
•
For performance reasons, Hyperion recommends the ADM EDS driver instead of the ADM
native driver for the Solaris platform.
Browsers
•
Hyperion recommends that you use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later to optimize
performance.
•
Do not use the Back button to navigate through applications. Application Builder J2EE is
designed to cache the application state in such a way that use of the Back button may lead
to unexpected application behavior.
WebSphere 5.x
When using the Hyperion Reports 7.2 integration with Application Builder J2EE on WebSphere
5.x, charts in HTML reports from Reports will not display correctly.
DB2 8.1 FP 7 and 8.2 FP2
When using DB2 8.x, you cannot write back to a data source.
Workaround:
To write back to a data source, take the following steps:
1. Use the following DB2 driver class name:
com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver
Note: This driver is different from the DB2 class name.
2. Change the port used in the URL from 6789 to 50000. Do not use db2java.zip. The only
DB2 driver files in use should be db2jcc*.zip.
Common Security Services
•
When using single sign-on with multiple applications, ensure that all applications are
pointing to the same LDAP server. If each application's WAACss.xml file points to a different
LDAP server, unexpected results occur.
15
Hyperion® System™ 9 BI+™ Application Builder J2EE™ Release 9.2.0.1 Readme
•
When you do not specify a domain element in the configuration file, searching for a specific
user or group specified in multiple places returns only the first match. The match order is as
follows:
•
Local computer
•
Domain of local computer
•
Trusted domains
For example, if the local computer and its domain both have an Administrators group and
the domain element of the NTLM server is left empty in the external authentication
configuration file, then all methods look for the Administrators group and return only one
Administrators group. That group is the group on the local computer. It is therefore
recommended that you specify a domain element in the external authentication
configuration file.
•
If the same user ID exists simultaneously with different passwords in an NTLM repository
and another repository (LDAP or MSAD) and NTLM is earlier in the search order,
authenticating the LDAP or MSAD user ID could result in locking out the NTLM user account.
To address this situation, it is recommended that you use the provider hint while
authenticating a user, if the authentication repository is known.
•
When multiple providers are defined in the search order and one of the providers is
misconfigured, Application Builder J2EE stops processing.
•
The search order for directories in Application Builder J2EE must be the same as the search
order for directories in Netegrity Siteminder.
•
Users with empty passwords are not supported.
•
Enabling Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection for communication between Application
Builder J2EE and Hyperion Remote Authentication Module can produce errors because of
expired Class 3 and Class 2 Verisign PCA root certificates in various releases of J2SE SDK
and JRE. To find out more and resolve the issue, refer to the following Web site:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fsalert%2F57436
•
Microsoft Active Directory SP2 and earlier releases are known to have connectivity issues
over SSL. For information on resolving this situation, refer to the following Web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q320711.
Grid/Chart
When you export the grid to an RTF file, the Merged Cells option is disabled.
Quick Builder
You must use the Macromedia Dreamweaver Extension Manager version 1.6.062. Uninstall the
previous Extension Manager first, then install version 1.6.062. Do not install over a previous
version; you do not need to reinstall Dreamweaver MX or uninstall existing extensions first.
Third-Party Products
NetCharts
NetCharts can only chart up to 50 rows. When you try to generate a chart with more than 50
rows, you receive only the first 50 rows.

Installation Updates
Note: In this section, the term <HAB_INSTALL_DIR> refers to the directory where you installed
Application Builder J2EE.
64-bit Processor Support
Application Builder J2EE does not support 64-bit processing.
General
•
If the Extract Documentation (350 MB) feature is not selected, the installer calculates and
uses up to an additional 230 MB of temporary disk space. This space is released at the end
of the installation.
•
During the installation process, if all features are not selected, the progress thermometer
may not reach 100% before the installer completes the final actions of creating the
uninstaller and presenting the next panel. Unless the Summary Panel reports an error, the
installation successfully installed 100%.
•
If Application Builder J2EE applications are deployed using a previous installation of MySQL
that listens on a port different from the default value of 3306, you must make the following
adjustment:
1.
Stop Apache Tomcat, if it is running.
2.
Open the file
<HAB_INSTALL_DIR>\WAA\deployments\Tomcat\4.1.30\conf\server.xml.
3.
Search for the string hab-admin and on the line that contains the string, find and
replace both instances of 3306 with the port value specified in my.ini.
Note: To check the value for the port in my.ini in the Windows directory (usually
C:\WINNT) use the section that starts with [Hyperion-MySQL-4.0.12].
•
4.
Repeat step 3 for each of the four Application Builder J2EE applications: habadmin, hab-blank. hab-samples, and hab-test
5.
Open the file <HAB_INSTALL_DIR>\WAA\projects\common\source\WEBINF\classes\repository.xml, and locate the uncommented (active) JDBCconnection descriptor for MySQL4.x.
6.
In the dbalias attribute, insert the port number immediately after the server
name, and separate the server name and port number with a colon; for example:
dbalias="//localhost:3306/HAB?useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=UTF8"
7.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 to update the repository.xml file located in WEBINF\classes for each of the four Application Builder J2EE applications: hab-admin,
hab-blank. hab-samples, and hab-test.
During the installation process, if the Extract Documentation feature is selected on
Windows, files with path names that exceed the Windows limit of 255 characters are not
17
Hyperion® System™ 9 BI+™ Application Builder J2EE™ Release 9.2.0.1 Readme
installed. Therefore, some of the file links for the Javadoc are invalid. The files affected
vary, depending on the choice for <HAB_INSTALL_DIR>.
•
<HAB_INSTALL_DIR>\docs\WEB-INF is a temporary directory used during the installation
process. This directory is not needed after the installation and can be deleted.
UNIX
•
If your home directory is located on an NFS drive, the installation process freezes after you
click the Finish button in the final frame. The installation succeeds, but the parent
HAB<release><platform>Setup.bin process and the Java process it spawns must be ended.
•
On all UNIX platforms, to ensure that starting MySQL service does not fail, ensure umask is
set to 022 by default.
Otherwise, run the following command prior to running the installer:
umask 022
Alternatively, you can change the permissions of the my.cnf file to read-only by running the
following command in the common/DBMS/MySQL/4.0.12/data directory:chmod 644 my.cnf.
WebLogic
•
If the supplied applications are deployed to WebLogic 8, and the value for the Windows
registry key, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BEA Systems\BEAHOMELIST, is not found
or is incorrect, the deployment will fail. Before installing Application Builder J2EE, use the
Windows regedit utility to check if this registry key is set.
Workaround:
If this registry key is missing, you can add it with regedit or by creating and editing a registry
script.
To create and edit a registry script:
1. Create a text file and name it BeaHome.reg.
2. Add the following entries, exactly as shown:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BEA Systems]
"BEAHOMELIST"="C:\\<BEA_Home_Directory>;"
where <BEA_Home_Directory> is the BEA WebLogic home directory.
Note: Use 2 backslashes for each directory separator as shown.
3. Execute this script by double clicking on it or by calling:
regedit BeaHome.reg
•
If you are deploying to WebLogic, the installer calculates and uses up to an additional 230
MB of temporary disk space. This space is released at the end of the installation.
18
Hyperion® System™ 9 BI+™ Application Builder J2EE™ Release 9.2.0.1 Readme
WebLogic 8.x
If the supplied applications are deployed to WebLogic 8, make the following change in
<WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN_DIR>\hab_startWLS.cmd:
Change the following line from:
call "<WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN_DIR>\startWebLogic.cmd"
to:
call "<WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN_DIR>\<SERVER_NAME>.bat"
where <WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN_DIR> is the absolute path to the WebLogic domain directory and
<SERVER_NAME> is the name of the WebLogic server that was created for this domain.
Uninstaller
On the Feature frame, all features are visible and available for selection, including features that
should not be visible. The features immediately under Product Un-installation may be shared by
other Hyperion products and are not uninstalled even if selected. The check boxes for features
under Application Builder J2EE, further down in the hierarchy, should be cleared if you prefer to
retain the features.
Shared Services Server Name in Configuration Utility
On the Shared Services registration panel in the Hyperion Configuration Utility in the Server
field, you can enter only English alphanumeric characters and the following special characters:
•
dash ( - )
•
underscore ( _ )
•
dot (.)
Cannot Deploy Products to WebLogic on Turkish OS
Because of a known issue with WebLogic 8.1 using a Turkish operating system, Hyperion
products cannot be deployed to WebLogic 8.1 in a Turkish operating system environment. You
must switch the locale to English and then deploy the product. (1-237420421)

WebSphere/Hyperion Product Permissions Issue
•
Important: On UNIX platforms, if you are using the IBM WebSphere application server,
ensure that you use the same account to install, deploy, and execute Hyperion System 9

Configuration Utility can successfully deploy Hyperion products to WebSphere.
Known Issues for System 9
The following known issues are general to this release of Hyperion System 9:
Hostnames Specified in English Only
In product installers and the Hyperion Configuration Utility, hostnames (computer names)
should not be localized and should be entered in English only. For example, when registering
22
Hyperion® System™ 9 BI+™ Application Builder J2EE™ Release 9.2.0.1 Readme

should be entered in English. (1- 215194141)

product activation using the Configuration Utility, product activation is successful and the user
can proceed with application registration. (1-240369941)

Error in Instructions for Starting License Server Manually
The instructions for starting Hyperion License Server manually on Windows include a backslash
character (\) that may cause confusion about what to type on the command line. The
instructions should read as follows:
To start License Server with specific license files, use the following example as a guide:
At the command prompt (for example, C:\HYPERION\common\LicenseServer>), type
lmgrd -c Licenses\License_file_name
Note: “Licenses” is the folder that contains the license files, for example:
C:\HYPERION\common\LicenseServer\Licenses
To specify the directory containing the license files (recommended), use the following example
as a guide:
At the command prompt (for example, C:\HYPERION\common\LicenseServer>), type
lmgrd -c Licenses
Note: “Licenses” is the folder that contains the license files:
C:\HYPERION\common\LicenseServer\Licenses
Hyperion Home Environment Variable in Migration Utility
The Hyperion Home Migration Utility does not read the Hyperion Home environment variable
even though it is already set. To migrate again, first open and close a command window before
starting migration a second time. This ensures that the most recent Hyperion Home
environment variable is displayed. This problem occurs only in the following languages: Dutch,
Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Russian. (1-203998684)
Language List in Portuguese Installer
Using a Portuguese operating system, the drop-down list on the Language Selection panel in
the installer incorrectly displays Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Portuguese
selections in Portuguese characters. All other language selections are displayed in English.
